Now Danny has a chance to prove he's more than just a wild wheeler, but with everything on the line, one mistake could cost them everything.

As Johnny helps Marsh master the art of high-speed driving and competitive racing, the two form an unlikely partnership that could turn Marsh's gorgeous ride into a track champion.
