The Thundering Herd
6 pp · car

Clint Curtis and the Road Knights take on the legendary Thundering Herd—a pair of unstoppable Dodge stockers—when Clint's souped-up Chevelle wagon earns its place in the A/FX class eliminations. With a perfectly timed start, Clint gains an early lead against the mighty Mopar, but the Thundering Herd begins closing the gap as the race intensifies down the strip. Will his battlewagon hold off the factory-backed competition, or will the unbeaten duo prove why they've never been shut down?

King Cobra
6 pp · car

Ken King brought his Cobra into road racing with raw speed on the straights, but a dangerous hairpin turn and his inexperience with proper cornering technique cost him dearly in the opening race—until he realized he could learn the fundamentals by studying a more skilled competitor's line through the turns. Now, in the trophy race, Ken executes a calculated strategy to master the craft before unleashing the Cobra's true power.

The Return of the Champion
6 pp · car

Ben Maxwell, once the Modified Sportsmen racing champion, suffered a catastrophic accident that left him with a useless arm and a limp—seemingly ending his driving career for good. Working as a mechanic at his old friend Charley Pincavage's garage, Ben gets an unexpected shot at redemption when the current driver abandons the supposedly jinxed number 6 car mid-race. Taking the wheel himself despite his injuries, Ben pushes the modified Olds hard to reclaim what the accident took from him.

Final Test
5 pp

Chick Gibson's souped-up Chrysler makes him the road menace everyone's tired of—until Gus Ryan decides to teach him a lesson the only way that matters: behind the wheel. After a week of transforming a junked Cadillac engine into a real powerhouse, Gus challenges Chick to a high-stakes race at the oval, betting far more than just money. It's a showdown that proves character matters just as much as horsepower on the track.
