Chapter 8: Nationwide race, chaos
Hello, alvinnascar5 here. First of all, I want to remember those brave men and women who sacrificed their lives while fighting for our country. Your service
is greatly appreciated, and we thank you for that. Your bravery is remembered, and will never be forgotten. So now, here's chapter 8 of PAW Patrol: Pups
Save Daytona! Enjoy! Smoke the tires and light the fires! Let's go racing, boys and girls, and pups!
It was a beautiful Saturday morning at the Daytona International Speedway. The pups were up getting some exercise after they finished their breakfast.
"You know, each of us have won an event this week so far. Marshall won the Bud Shootout, Rocky won the pole for tomorrow's Daytona 500, Everest won Duel 1, Rubble won
Duel 2, and Zuma won last night's truck race. So that just leaves Chase and I as the only ones who haven't won anything yet this week." said Skye. "You're right. But I also
just realized that Rocky didn't actually win a race. He only found out where he would be starting tomorrow." said Marshall. "Mawshall's wight." said Zuma. Ryder then came
walking up.
"Hey pups. You ready to go out for qualifying for today's race?" asked Ryder. "Yes, Ryder!" said the pups. "Then let's go! PAW Patrol is on a roll!" said Ryder as he and the
pups went to pit road.
(2 hours later)
"Skye the Flying Pup has won the pole position for the Drive4COPD 300! Marshall the Fire Pup will join her on the front row in second!" said the track announcer. Skye's eyes
and smile widened as she gasped.
"My first pole position! I did it!" said Skye with a flip. "Atta girl, Skye! What a good pup!" said Ryder as he gave Skye a belly scratch on her tickle spot, earning happy laughs
from the happy Cockapoo.
"Thanks, Ryder. This is the best!" said Skye. "And I get to start next to you!" said Marshall as he and Skye shared a victorious hug. "You're both good pups!" said Ryder as he
gave both pups an ear scratch. Ryder and Marshall then joined the photographers and took photos of Skye with her Pole Position flag and her #33 Rheem Heating, Cooling,
and Water Heating race team. A few hours later, Ryder gathered the pups to wish them luck.
"Pups, today is the Drive4COPD 300. I just want to say be safe out there, have fun, and do you what you do best!" said Ryder. "We'll do our best, Ryder sir!" said Chase.
"Attaboy, Chase! Now to remind all you of which cars you'll be driving today." said Ryder before giving out the orders.
"Chase, you'll be driving the #4 car. Tony Stewart is your crew chief." said Ryder. "Chase is on the case!" said Chase.
"Marshall, you'll be driving the #1 car. Landon Cassill is your crew chief." said Ryder. "I'm fired up and ready to go ruff-ruff racing!" said Marshall.
"Skye, you'll be driving the #33 car. Clint Bowyer is your crew chief. And you're the polesitter for today's race!" said Ryder. "This puppy's gotta fly!" said Skye with a flip.
"Yay, Skye!" the other pups cheered happily.
"Rocky, you'll be driving the #18 car. Kyle Busch is your crew chief." said Ryder. "Green means go!" said Rocky.
"Rubble, you'll be driving the #22 car. Brad Keselowski is your crew chief." said Ryder. "Rubble on the double!" said Rubble.
"Zuma, you'll be driving the #5 car. Dale Earnhardt Jr. is your crew chief." said Ryder. "Let's dive in!" said Zuma.
"Everest, you'll be driving the #20 car. Joey Logano is your crew chief. And you and Rocky are also teammates!" said Ryder. "Even though there's no ice or snow, I'm ready to
go!" said Everest. "Sweet!" said Rocky. "Alright! PAW Patrol is on a roll!" said Ryder before he and the pups left for pit road. Skye then let out a small whimper and waved
Ryder over to her, saying she wanted to talk to him.
"Pups, go to pit road. I'll be there shortly." said Ryder. "You got it, Ryder!" said the other pups. Ryder then knelt down in front of Skye.
"Skye? You okay?" asked Ryder. "Ryder, we just realized that Rocky is the only one who hasn't won an actual race yet. Yes, he won the pole for tomorrow, but he only found
out where he would be starting." said Skye. "Hmmm. You may be onto something, Skye. But for right now, let's just get through today and tomorrow." said Ryder. "Thanks,
Ryder." said Skye before licking Ryder's cheek, earning a laugh from her owner. "No problem, Skye. Now get to driver introductions, polesitter." said Ryder before giving Skye
one final ear scratch. "This puppy's gotta fly!" said Skye as she happily ran towards the stage happily. As driver introductions took place, Allen Bestwick began the pre-race
show.
"Hello race fans, and welcome to the Daytona International Speedway. I'm Allen Bestwick, alongside Rusty Wallace and Nicole Briscoe. Rusty, your son, Steve Wallace, is
racing today and tomorrow. What do you think we'll see in this race today?" asked Allen. "Same thing we saw last night: lots of passes, lots of action, and an exciting finish!
Zuma made a last-lap pass on Chase to win the truck race last night, and now Chase and Skye are the only two pups that have not yet won this week. Skye's starting on the
pole today." said Rusty. "Yep. She's been trying so hard to win this week, and now she has a huge advantage." said Nicole. "Speaking of Skye, I believe Dr. Jerry Punch is
with her now." said Allen.
"That's right, Nicole. I'm with Skye the Flying Pup now. Skye, how do you feel about starting on the pole for the first time?" asked Punch. "This…is…amazing!" said Skye with a
flip before continuing. "I'm so happy to have finally won the pole position. I would love to be able to win from the pole too, because this pup's gotta fly!" said Skye. "Good luck
to you, Skye, and I believe Jamie Little is with Chase." said Punch.
"Thanks, Doc. I'm with Chase now in the back of a truck going around the track, waving to the fans. Chase, how excited are you to be racing in the Nationwide Series today?"
asked Jamie. "I'm very excited to be racing today. I'm glad I get to drive a blue car today, because that's my signature color for when I'm doing my job as the police pup for
Adventure Bay." said Chase. "So what's your case for today?" asked Jamie. "Chase is on the case! The case of putting on an exciting show for the fans and trying to win for
Adventure Bay!" said Chase with a howl. "Good luck today." said Jamie.
(25 minutes later)
After the opening ceremonies took place, the pups, along with 36 other drivers, got strapped into their cars and put on their helmets, HANS devices, and gloves while the
window nets went up secured. Then, both Ryder AND Ace gave the command.
"Drivers…" said Ace.
"And pups…" said Ryder.
"START YOUR ENGINES!" said Ryder and Ace excitedly at the same time. As all 43 engines roared to life, Marty Reid began the race coverage while Ryder and Ace went to the
spotter's stand.
"Hello race fans, and welcome to Daytona! I'm Marty Reid, alongside former Daytona 500 winner and Sprint Cup Series champion Dale Jarrett and former championship-
winning crew chief, Andy Petree. Dale, you've won here before. What will it take to win this race today?" asked Marty. "Well, it's going to take patience. You have to be able to
make your moves at the right time, and you also have to have flawless pit stops. One little mistake can make a HUGE difference in who wins this race today." said Dale.
"Andy, do you think Chase or Skye can continue the PAW Patrol's quest in sweeping Daytona this week?" asked Marty. "I hope so. Those pups have been racing so well, and
Zuma got them one step closer last night. We'll see what happens today." said Andy. "Well then, let's take a look at the starting grid for the Drive4COPD 300. Row 1 is #33
Skye the Flying Pup and #1 Marshall the Fire Pup. Skye is on the pole. Row 2 is #5 Zuma the Water Pup and #7 Danica Patrick. Row 3 is #31 Justin Allgaier and #20 Everest

Allgaier, #33 Skye the Flying Pup, #60 Carl Edwards, and #66 Steve Wallace." said Marty as the field began their warm-up laps. But Rubble was still on pit road!
"Brad, I'm having radio trouble. It's too loud for my ears. I can't adjust the volume." said Rubble with a whimper. "Don't worry, Rubble. We've got you covered. Try a different
helmet." said Brad Keselowski as a #22 Discount Tire pit crew member brought Rubble another helmet. The English Bulldog switched out the helmets, and then everything
was fixed.
"That better?" asked Brad. "All good!" said Rubble. "Alright, go. Go." said Brad as Rubble left pit road to get back into his starting spot.
"Let's see if we can talk to our ESPN In-Race Reporter, who happens to be last night's winner of the truck race!" said Andy. "Zuma, this is Dale Jarrett in the ESPN booth. You
copy?" asked Dale. "Dale Jawwett?! Talking to ME?! Oh my gosh! I can't believe this! I've got you, Dale!" said Zuma excitedly. "Zuma, what do you think you can learn from
today that can help you tomorrow in the Daytona 500?" asked Dale. "I just need to know where I need to be at the wight time and know when to make my moves." said
Zuma. "What do you like about racing in Daytona?" asked Dale. "I love wacing hewe! This is just so awesome, dude!" said Zuma. "Alright, Zuma. Good luck out there today
and hope to talk to you later." said Dale. "Thanks, Dale." said Zuma. The Chocolate Labrador was ecstatic.
"I can't believe I just talked to Dale Jawwett. Totally awesome!" Zuma said to himself.
"Alright Skye. You're starting on the pole today. Let's make something happen." said Clint Bowyer. "10-4, Clint." said Skye.
"You ready for this, Marshall?" asked Landon Cassill. "I'm fired up! Let's do this!" said Marshall.
"Alright, Zuma. Ready for a fun day?" asked Dale Earnhardt Jr. "Totally weady, dude!" said Zuma.
"Rocky, you know what to do, buddy. Let's do this." said Kyle Busch. "Thanks, Kyle. Glad to be back together with you today." said Rocky.
"Alright Chase. We have 120 laps to make something happen today. Go get 'em, bud." said Tony Stewart. "Yes sir, Tony Stewart sir!" said Chase. "I like this pup." said
Stewart.
"Ready, Rubble?" asked Brad Keselowski. "Yep! Ready to have some fun today! Rubble on the double!" said Rubble.
"Ready, Everest?" asked Joey Logano. "Yep! Even though there's no ice or snow, I'm still ready to go!" said Everest. As the field got the one-to-go signal, Ryder gave the pups
a final pep talk.
"Pups, today's race is 120 laps/300 miles. The pit window is 36-42 laps, and remember that the pit road speed is 55 mph. Be safe, have fun, and let's go racing!" said Ryder.
"You got it, Ryder!" said the pups. Reed Sorenson dropped to the rear because of adjustments being made outside the impound area. Then, the pace car went to pit road,
leaving the field in the "paws" of Skye and Marshall. Then, the green flag flew.
"Green flag is in the air! We are underway in Daytona!" said Marty as the field raced side-by-side into turn 1. "Green means go!" said Rocky. As everyone started to find their
drafting partners, Zuma pushed Skye out front while Everest found Rocky.
"I've got youw back, Skye." said Zuma as Skye led the first lap of the race. "I led lap #1! Yay! Thanks, Zuma!" said Skye. "No pwoblem, Skye! Want to work togethew?"
asked Zuma. "Okay!" said Skye as Rocky pushed Everest ahead of the pair.
"Thanks, Rocky! Or should say, teammate?" said Everest as she led lap 2. "Oh yeah! We're Joe Gibbs Racing teammates! Want to work together?" asked Rocky. "Sure!" said
Everest as she and Rocky did the switch.
"Marshall, is it okay if I draft with Everest?" asked Rocky. "That's fine with me. I mean, you two ARE driving for the same team after all." said Marshall. "Thanks, Marshall!"
said Rocky. But then, Chase led a group of cars through the middle lane, splitting Skye/Zuma and Rocky/Everest.
"Whoa! Where did CHASE come from?!" said the four pups as Chase went past the group. "I did NOT see that coming." said Zuma as Chase led the lap while Rocky and
Everest made their way back to the front.
"Here I come, Chase!" said Rocky. Everest pushed the gray mixed breed ahead as they reached the line, and Rocky led the lap!
"Yes! I led for the first time since the Bud Shootout!" said Rocky. "Attaboy, Rocky!" said Kyle. But as Skye and Zuma tried to do the switch in the middle of the big pack, the
two pups got separated!
"I don't think that was a good idea, Zuma." said Skye. "Yeah. Sowwy, Skye. Get togethew with someone else so you can get back to me." said Zuma. "Okay. I'll try!" said
Skye. But then, Skye saw Chase right in front of her.
"Hi, Chase. Miss me?" asked Skye in a flirty voice. "Yeah, but really, Skye? In the middle of a race?" asked Chase. "Yep. You and I are going to work together." said Skye
before making kissing sounds over Chase's radio, causing the German Shepherd's cheeks to turn as red as Marshall's firetruck.
"She really needs to quit doing that while we're on the track." said Chase as Rocky and Everest did the switch again. Skye snickered to herself as Everest and Rocky able to
remain out front, and Everest led the lap!
"We timed that one perfectly, Rocky!" said Everest. "Yep!" said Rocky. On lap 6, Zuma looked in his rearview mirror and saw Skye pushing Chase.
"I was wondering when those two were going to hook up with each other." said Zuma to himself before he snickered as Everest led. Rocky and Everest switched again,
allowing Chase and Skye to get out front!
"That's my girl." said Chase as he led the lap. On lap 9, Chase, Skye, Rocky, Everest, and Zuma were 1-2-3-4-5! But Rocky and Everest started catching Chase and Skye!
"Here we come." said Rocky. But as Rocky and Everest switched again, Chase and Skye did it at the exact same time, putting Skye out front!
"Such a gentlepup." said Skye as she led lap 10. On lap 11, Everest and Rocky were trying to catch the couple!
"I have a feeling that those two are going to be working together the whole race until the last lap." said Everest. "Yep. You got that right." said Rocky as Skye continued to
lead. Everest and Rocky tried to get by the couple, but Chase got such a huge run into turns 3 & 4, he was able to keep Skye ahead at the line, allowing the Cockapoo to
maintain her lead.
"That's my boy." said Skye. As Everest and Rocky did the switch, Stenhouse and Bayne went past, bringing Zuma with them! Bayne saw Skye out front.
"Attagirl, Skye!" said Bayne. "Thanks, Trevor! Oh, and by the way, happy birthday!" said Skye. "Thanks!" said Bayne. Rocky and Everest then retook third and fourth from
Stenhouse and Bayne, and Skye held off Rocky at the line to hold onto the lead.
"Uh-oh. Time to put my side-drafting skills to work." said Skye as Rocky and Everest went past the couple on the backstretch. Skye side-drafted Everest, giving Skye an
advantage, plus the drafting help from Chase, keeping Skye out front. As Skye continued to lead, Rocky and Everest did the switch again. But seconds later, Hornish and Scott
collided, and Marshall, who was running towards the back as part of his strategy for later, spun after clipping the edge of the infield with his car while trying to get through the
scene, bringing out the caution!
"Trouble in the tri-oval! Sam Hornish Jr. and Brian Scott are in it! And OH NO! Marshall the Fire Pup goes for a spin! Caution is out!" said Marty Reid as the field slowed down.
"Whoa, whoa, WHOOOOOOAAAAA!" said Marshall as he slid through the infield grass, trying to get the car under control. The Dalmatian finally came to a stop and regained
control of the car before heading back around the track to pit road.
"You okay, Marshall?" asked Landon Cassill. "I'm good. How do the nose and splitter look?" asked Marshall as Hornish came to pit road for tires, fuel, adjustments, and
repairs. "Bring it to us. We'll take a look at it." said Cassill as Skye led everyone, except Mike Wallace, who stayed out to lead a lap, down pit road. Everyone made their stops
and when the stops were completed, the top ten coming off pit road was Zuma, Skye, Everest, Stenhouse, Bayne, Kahne, Patrick, Rocky, Rubble, and Chase. Everest, Kahne,
Patrick, and Rubble took fuel only. Skye, Stenhouse, Bayne, Rocky, and Chase each took two tires. Zuma, however, missed his pit stall!
"Sowwy, guys. I couldn't see my pit sign and I didn't have enough time to tuwn into the stall." said Zuma as he came back to pit road. "It's alright, Zuma. We've got plenty of
time." said Earnhardt Jr. as Zuma came back to pit road and made his stop. When the running order got sorted out, the top ten was Skye, Everest, Stenhouse, Bayne, Kahne,
Patrick, Rocky, Rubble, Chase, and Annett. Then, the green flag flew on lap 20. The field raced side-by-side into turn 1 before trying to find their drafting partners. Skye tried
side-draft Everest on lap 21, but Everest had a huge push from Bayne, sending the Husky out front. As Everest led the lap, Rocky found Rubble.
"Here comes Rubble…" said Rubble.
"And Rocky…" said Rocky.
"On the double!" said the two pups as Rocky beat Everest back to the line to lead lap 22.
"Nice push, Rubble!" said Rocky. "Thanks! Two pups that build and fix things working together? I like this!" said Rubble. "Yep! Don't lose it, reuse it!" said Rocky. On lap 23,
Skye found Danica Patrick.
"I can't get to you, Danica. I'm trapped between you and Stenhouse." said Skye. "Don't worry, Skye. I see you. You'll be alright. Just hang in there." said Danica as Rocky led
the lap. But then, on lap 24, as Skye started to draft up to Patrick, Annett spun after contact from behind with Bodine, and took multiple cars with him, bringing out the
caution!
"Trouble in turns 1 & 2! Michael Annett goes around, and he takes a bunch of other cars with him! Caution is out!" said Marty Reid as the field slowed to avoid the spinning
cars. Skye and Chase both barely escaped by Annett while Zuma hit his brakes just in time to avoid hitting Sadler, who unfortunately then got hit by Mike Wallace.
"Stay in your lane, stay in your lane. Come on, come on, come on, clear." said Ace as she guided Skye past Annett. "Thanks, Ace!" said Skye. "That's what I'm here for,
Skye." said Ace. The drivers involved were Annett, Sadler, Mike Wallace, Kenny Wallace, Bodine, and Stenhouse.
"Skye, you okay? Did you get through?" asked Bowyer. "Yeah, but that was close! TOO close!" said Skye.
"Chase, you alright? Did Annett clip your car?" asked Stewart. "No, I don't think so. Check it out when I come back around next time by." said Chase. "Looks good to me,
Chase. You're fine." said Stewart as Chase went by while some drivers came to pit road for tires, fuel, and adjustments. Marshall was the only pup that pitted with the group.
As the field got the one-to-go signal, Edwards went to the garage area with engine trouble while Rocky saw Everest back behind him.
"You know what to do, Everest." said Rocky. "You got it, Rocky!" said Everest. Then, on lap 28, the green flag flew once again, and Everest pushed Rocky out front ahead of
Rubble and Bayne. As Rocky led the lap, Skye finally got hooked up with Danica as Chase found Almirola.
"Finally caught up to you, Danica!" said Skye. "Atta girl, Skye! Keep it up!" said Patrick. Skye then gave Patrick such a huge push, it sent the former IndyCar driver past Rocky
and Everest for the lead, and Danica led the lap!
"That's what I'm talking about, Skye! And you just made me the first woman to lead a lap at Daytona in a NASCAR-sanctioned race!" said Patrick. "Yay!" said Skye. "Ryder,
you have trained this pup well. I like her." said Patrick. "Thanks, Danica. She is a good pup." said Ryder. "I can't believe I just helped Danica Patrick make history at
Daytona!" said Skye. But then, Rubble got a push from Bayne, and Rubble led the lap.
"Sorry, Danica. I couldn't side-draft him quickly enough." said Skye. "It's alright, Skye. Don't worry about it. You helped me make history today, and I led a lap. That was my
goal all day long. You're such a good pup." said Patrick as Rubble continued to lead. "I know." said Skye. While Rubble was out front, Everest and Rocky joined the group. As
Rocky pushed Everest out front, Danica and Skye separated!
"My engine's getting too hot, Danica. I need to back off for a moment." said Skye. "That's fine. Just take care of the engine and you'll be alright." said Patrick as Everest led
the lap. Everest and Rocky then switched again, putting Rubble back out front. Rubble led the lap while Skye caught back up to Danica. Marshall, however, was slowly
climbing his way back up towards the front.
"Quiet as a mouse." said Marshall as Steve Wallace came to pit road. "Marshall, you doing okay, bud? You've been awfully quiet." said Cassill. "I'm concentrating. I'm as quiet
as a mouse. I learned that during my Pup-Fu training classes." said Marshall. "Interesting. You're doing a great job. Stay focused here." said Cassill as Rubble continued to
lead. Rubble/Bayne and Everest/Rocky had separated themselves from the big pack and pulled away!
"Whoa! We are leaving that pack in the dust! I can't even seem them in my rearview mirror!" said Rocky. "Wow!" said Everest as Rubble and Bayne did the switch. Bayne held
off Everest and led the lap. As Everest and Rocky did the switch, Bayne led lap 39 before he and Rubble switched. Rubble led lap 40 as Zuma moved into 5th. 4 laps later, as
Rubble continued to lead, Chase moved into 5th, bringing Skye with him, while Zuma dropped to 10th.
"It's getting weally hawd to find a spot on the twack to gain some momentum." said Zuma as he tried to hold onto his spot in 10th. "You'll be alright. We've still got 75 laps to
go." said Earnhardt Jr. as Skye tried to help push Chase back to the front where Rubble/Bayne and Rocky/Everest were. Marshall, however, had dropped back to 20th.
"I think we need to make some more adjustments, Landon. I'm struggling to keep up with the leaders." said Marshall. "Okay. We'll pit during the next round of pit stops. And
Allgaier just smacked the wall hard, and the tire carcass is sitting on the infield grass." said Cassill. "Hope we can get a yellow. If that tire carcass is still sitting there, that
could bring out the caution flag, which is exactly what we need." said Marshall as Allgaier came to pit road for tires, fuel, adjustments, and repairs. On lap 52, Rubble and
Bayne did the switch as they got through the lapped traffic. Bayne led the lap as Everest and Rocky did the switch and tried to get through the heavy lapped traffic as well.
"This lapped traffic is thick, Kyle!" said Rocky. "Yeah, I know it's tough. Just navigate through it and you'll be just fine." said Busch. Everest saw the traffic too.
"Come on, guys! Get out of our way!" said Everest as Chase ran in 5th while Skye ran in 6th. Finally, Rocky and Everest broke free from the lapped traffic. But on lap 56,
Hornish spun again coming into the tri-oval after Bodine got him loose, bringing out the caution!
"Trouble in the tri-oval! Sam Hornish Jr. spins and hits the inside wall near the entrance to pit road! Caution is out!" said Marty Reid as Hornish went to pit road for repairs.
"Hey, Marshall! We got a yellow! Bring it in." said Cassill. "You got it, Landon!" said Marshall as Bayne led everyone down pit road for tires, fuel, and adjustments. Everyone
made their stops, and when the stops were completed, the top ten coming off pit road was Rubble, Zuma, Everest, Rocky, Bayne, Skye, Nemechek, Stenhouse, Almirola, and
Waltrip. Rubble, Zuma, Bayne, and Stenhouse took two tires. Everest, Rocky, Skye, Nemechek, and Waltrip took four tires. Almirola got fuel only. But Zuma got hit with a
penalty.
"Zuma, you have to drop to the tail-end of the lead lap cars. The fuel can failed to disengage and it went outside the pit box as you drove away." said Earnhardt Jr. "Oh,
you've got to be kidding me! Doggone it!" said Zuma, clearly frustrated. Rubble had to come back in too because the gas man didn't get the car filled back up with enough
fuel, putting him in the back with Zuma. After the green flag flew, the race reached the halfway point: lap 60!
"We made it to halfway!" said Everest, who gained the lead because of Rubble and Zuma's pit road mishaps. "Awesome!" said Zuma. "Yay!" said Skye. "Yes!" said Rocky.
"Sweet!" said Rubble. "Yeah!" said Marshall. "Let's finish this!" said Chase. Bayne pushed Everest while Skye pushed Rocky.
"Sorry I couldn't get down in front of you, Everest." said Rocky as Everest led the lap. "That's okay, Rocky. We still have 59 laps left." said Everest. "Good. I don't want to be
in the back. Come on, Skye." said Rocky to himself. As Everest/Bayne and Rocky/Skye fought for the lead, Marshall, Zuma, and Rubble were trapped in the middle of a big
pack!
"It's getting thick back hewe, Mawshall!" said Zuma. "I know, I know! I'm trying to create an open space for you, Rubble, and I to go through." said Marshall. On lap 63, as
Everest continued to lead, Chase pushed Leffler right up to Skye!
"Uh-oh! Here comes Chase!" said Skye as she continued pushing Rocky. Marshall found Steve Wallace and Nemechek as Zuma hooked up with Rubble.
"Come on, guys. I need to get back up to the front asap." said Marshall as Zuma moved up a lane to get around Rubble as the chocolate Labrador went by at a high rate of
speed.
"Whoa! That was close, dude." said Zuma as Kahne came to pit road to serve a penalty for not maintaining his position before the start/finish line under caution. As Everest
continued to lead, Leffler and Chase did the switch, putting Chase in fifth and Leffler in sixth. On lap 66, Rocky left Skye and went back to hook up with Leffler, putting Chase
behind Skye!
"I have her now." said Chase as Leffler got in front of Rocky. A few laps later, Rocky found his way back to Everest, and the two JGR teammates hooked up once again while
Chase continued pushing Skye. With 49 laps to go, Skye and Chase cleared Everest and Rocky, putting the Cockapoo and the German Shepherd out front.
"That's my boy." said Skye as Chase continued pushing. But then, Rocky got such a huge run off turn 2 and onto the backstretch, he pushed Everest ahead of the couple,
putting both the Husky and the gray mixed breed out front!
"Attaboy, Rocky!" said Everest as she led the lap. One lap later, as Edwards, who returned to the race after his engine problems were solved, was drafting with Bayne, Chase
tried to push Skye out front, but Rocky had more momentum and he kept Everest ahead at the line. Skye and Chase then did the switch, putting Chase in third and Skye in
fourth. But then, Everest and Rocky did the switch moments later, and Rocky held off a hard-charging Chase to lead the lap before Skye tried to push Chase ahead. Dale
Jarrett noticed this.
"Marty, the four drivers I'm keeping my eye on right now are Chase, Skye, Rocky, and Everest. Those four have been racing each other hard, but clean. If they keep this up,
those four pups just might have a shot at the win here." said Jarrett as Rocky got a push from Everest and held off Chase to lead the lap. With 44 laps to go, Skye pushed
Chase ahead, and Chase led the lap. As Rocky and Everest did the switch one lap later, Marshall moved into fifth with Rubble right behind him in sixth!
"Attaboy, Marshall! Go get 'em, bud! Yeah!" said Landon. 5 laps later, as Skye continued to lead, Marshall and Rubble began to close in on the four pups. All of the pups,
except for Zuma, were now running 1-2-3-4-5-6! Zuma was in 10th.
"Here comes Marshall and Rubble!" said Marty Reid as Rocky tried to push Everest ahead for the lead. "Where did that #1 car come from?!" asked Dale Jarrett in amazement.
"What a recovery by Marshall the Fire Pup! He spun while trying to avoid an accident earlier in the race, he ran in the back most of the time, and now he's trying to get himself
in position to have a shot at the win!" said Andy Petree as Marshall and Rubble did the switch with 37 laps to go.
"Where did Marshall come from?!" said Skye, Chase, Everest, and Rocky at the same time as Everest and Rocky did the switch. "We have the top six positions right now,
pups!" said Skye, earning cheers from the other pups. "Time to show these drivers that we mean business!" said Rocky. "Uh, we've been doing that the whole race, Rocky.
The only times we haven't led today were when Mike Wallace stayed out during the first round of pit stops, when Skye pushed Danica Patrick out front, and when Trevor
Bayne led for a while." said Everest. "Yeah. Other than that, we've pretty much dominated the race today." said Chase as Skye continued to lead. One lap later, Everest gave
Rocky such a huge push, it sent the gray mixed breed out front, and Rocky led the lap!
"Still got 35 laps to go." said Rocky. On the same lap, Rocky and Everest did the switch at the same time as Skye and Chase, and Everest led the lap!
"If these lead changes keep occurring, we might have a photo finish at the checkered flag." said Chase to himself as Everest led. But going down the backstretch, Skye pushed
Chase ahead, and Chase led the lap! As Chase led, Zuma was still trying to make his way back towards the front as Rubble and Marshall did the switch again.
"How are you doing out there, Zuma?" asked Earnhardt Jr. "I'm a pup all by himself, Dale. I'm 6 seconds behind 9th, and four seconds ahead of 11th. I'm 25 seconds behind
Chase! I'm weally stwuggling out hewe wight now, Dale." said Zuma. "Okay. We have to make one more pit stop. Just hang in there, bud. We'll be alright." said Earnhardt Jr.
as Marshall and Rubble moved into third and fourth with 30 laps to go.
"If I can finish where I am right now, that'll be like a win for me." said Marshall to himself as Skye took the lead a few laps later. With 25 laps to go, Zuma came to pit road for
his final pit stop, as did Leffler, Bodine, Starr, Rubble, Marshall, Waltrip, Sorenson, Stenhouse, McClure, Edwards, Allgaier, Clements, Howard, Santos, Skye, Chase, Rocky,
Patrick, Bayne, Nemechek, Kahne, Bliss, Almirola, Wise, Sheltra, Steve Wallace, Mike Wallace, Kenny Wallace, Neuenberger, Cope, Richardson Jr., Shepherd, and Everest.
When the cycle of stops was completed, the top five with 20 laps to go was Rocky, Skye, Everest, Marshall, and Chase. But a few laps later, a caution came out.
"Debris on the backstretch! Caution is out!" said Marty Reid as the field slowed down.
"That was a long green-flag run." said Skye as she got a drink of water to stay hydrated. "Yep. How's the car handling?" asked Clint. "Smooth. Very smooth." said Skye with a
hint of determination in her voice.
"Alright, Chase. It's all up to you now, bud. You know what to do here." said Stewart. "Yes sir, Tony Stewart, sir! Chase is on the case!" said Chase. With 17 laps to go, the
top ten was Rocky, Skye, Everest, Marshall, Chase, Waltrip, Sorenson, Stenhouse, Rubble, and Zuma. One lap later, the green flag flew, and Rocky got a push from Everest,
sending the gray mixed breed out front.
"Atta girl, Everest." said Rocky to himself as Skye got a big push from Chase. But as Marshall tried to move to the low line in the tri-oval, he accidently hit Rubble, sending
him spinning into the grass, out of control, and back up the racetrack, right into the path of Josh Wise!
"Trouble in the tri-oval! Rubble slides out of control, and he hits Josh Wise HARD as Patrick Sheltra spins out too! Caution is out!" said Marty Reid as the field slowed down.
Bodine also got into the back of Wise's car after Rubble made contact with Wise.
"OH NO! RUBBLE!" said Skye as she saw the impact. "Ouch! Wubble, you okay, dude?" asked Zuma. "I'm fine, but my car's not." said Rubble. "You alright there, Rubble?"
asked Brad. "Yeah, I'm alright." said Rubble as he got unbuckled and climbed out unhurt before waving to the crowd and looking at the damage to the right side of his
destroyed #22 Discount Tire Dodge Challenger. He then ran over to Wise, who was slow getting out.
"Josh! Are you okay?" asked Rubble in a worried voice. "Yeah, I'm okay. Are YOU okay?" asked Josh. "I'm fine. Glad you're okay." said Rubble as Wise talked with the safety
officials.
"He's okay!" said Ace. The crowd cheered as Rubble walked to his pit stall. Wise got into the ambulance as the field came by. As Ryder went down from the spotter's stand to
check on Rubble, Marshall saw the two heavily damaged racecars. The Dalmatian felt bad about causing the accident.
"I'm so sorry, Rubble. I didn't mean to do that. This was all my fault." said Marshall as he sniffled a little and let a couple of tears loose. But then, with 13 laps to go, Chase
got a flat tire!
"Oh no! Chase the Police Pup has got a flat tire with 13 laps to go!" said Marty Reid as Chase went onto the apron of the track in turn 2 and on the backstretch. "He must've
ran over some of the debris in the tri-oval." said Dale Jarrett. "It will take a miracle to save his chances of winning this race now." said Andy Petree.
"Oh no! Tony, I'm flat! I'm flat!" said Chase. "Can you get back to the pits?" asked Stewart. "Yeah, yeah. I think so." said Chase. "Be careful and bring it in. Don't tear the car
up, Chase." said Stewart as Chase made his way to pit road, along with Rocky, Everest, Sorenson, and Marshall. Everyone else stayed out on the track. Rocky and Everest got
fuel only while Sorenson and Marshall got four tires and fuel. Chase finished his four-tire stop and then left pit road. Luckily, Chase remained on the lead lap. As Chase
rejoined the pack, Jamie Little caught up with Rubble, who had made it back to his pit stall dazed, but uninjured.
"I'm here with Rubble the Construction Pup. Rubble, are you okay and what happened?" asked Jamie. "I'm a little bit dazed, but I'm okay. I just got clipped by the #1 car. I
didn't have enough time to react, and I spun, and unfortunately collected the #39 car in the process. I'm glad Wise and I are okay. If I just sit in the shade for the rest of this
race, I should be fine to go to Victory Lane if one of the other pups wins." said Rubble. "Thanks Rubble. Good luck tomorrow." said Jamie as Ryder showed up.
"Hey, Rubble. You okay, buddy?" asked Ryder. "Yeah. I'm okay." said Rubble as Ryder petted his head for comfort. Ryder then went to the infield care center with him after
getting a ride from a NASCAR Official. With 10 laps to go, while under caution, the top ten was Skye, Zuma, Waltrip, Bayne, Stenhouse, Rocky, Everest, Sorenson, Marshall,
and Leffler. Chase was 11th. Rubble was listed as out of the race in 29th. After Almirola came to pit road with electrical issues, Skye talked to Bowyer.
"Is Rubble okay?" asked Skye. "Yeah, he's alright. He got out of the car. He looked a little dazed because of that hit, but he's okay." said Bowyer. "What about Wise?" asked
Skye. "Yes. He's fine." said Bowyer. "Phew! Good." said Skye. With 9 laps to go, the red flag was displayed.
"They're going to red flag you all here. They need to finish the cleanup of the accident scene. The #39 car leaked a lot of fluids onto the track." said Bowyer. "Okay. This
should give me time to relax a bit." said Skye as everyone slowly came to a complete stop behind the pace car on the backstretch and shut their cars down.
"Why did we stop?" asked Chase. "The safety officials need to finish cleaning up the accident scene near turn 1. They just need a little more time." said Stewart. "Okay. Got
it." said Chase. As safety officials brought fresh water for the drivers and the pups to drink, Dale Jarrett dialed up Zuma.
"Let's see if we can talk to Zuma while we have a chance. Zuma, this is Dale Jarrett up in the ESPN booth. You copy?" asked Jarrett. "Yeah, Dale. I got you." said Zuma. "Well
Zuma, it's been quite a race for you. You've been up-and-down the leaderboard all day long. How do you like your chances of winning this race?" asked Jarrett. "Pwetty good.
If I don't win today, I suwe would love to see either Skye or Chase win today." said Zuma. "Did you enjoy being the ESPN In-Race Reporter today?" asked Jarrett. "I totally
did, dude! This was awesome! I'm so glad I got to actually talk to you!" said Zuma happily. "Alright, Zuma. Good luck out there and bring it home strong." said Jarrett. "10-4.
Thanks, Dale Jawwett." said Zuma as everyone re-fired their engines and resumed following the pace car around the track slowly. As the field got the one-to-go signal a
couple of laps later, Skye then saw Bayne behind her.
"Trevor, you know what to do." said Skye. "Sure thing, Skye!" said Bayne. Then, with 7 laps to go, the green flag flew, and Bayne gave Skye the push she needed, and the
Cockapoo dropped down in front of Zuma.
"You know what to do, Zuma!" said Skye. "You got it, Skye!" said Zuma. But, as Skye led the lap, Chase found Marshall.
"Okay, Marshall. Time to get aggressive." said Chase. With 5 laps to go, Chase pushed Marshall into fifth.
"It looks like Skye, Zuma, Rocky, Everest, Marshall, and Chase are going to settle this amongst themselves!" said Marty Reid as Skye led the lap. With 4 laps to go, Everest
pushed Rocky ahead, and Rocky beat Skye to the line by inches to lead the lap! Zuma saw Marshall and Chase coming as Rocky and Everest did the switch.
"Skye! Watch your mirrors! Marshall and Chase are coming up fast!" said Zuma. "FASTER! FASTER!" said Skye as they came up on two laps to go. Marshall and Chase then did
the switch, putting Chase in third!
"Go, Marshall! Go, go, go!" said Chase as Rocky pushed Everest and himself ahead of Chase and Marshall. Then, Skye saw the white flag.
"White flag! One lap to go in Daytona! Can Skye win it?" said Marty Reid as the field took the white flag. Then, the intensity reached its peak. As the six pups went into turns 1
and 2, Rocky tried to push Everest into the lead, but he hit her rear bumper too hard, causing Everest to hit the wall, sending her out of control and sliding into the wall on the
backstretch a second time, knocking Everest out of contention!
"Here comes Everest and Rocky into turn 2 for the lead and…OH NO! Rocky put her in the wall!" said Marty. "He put her in the wall!" said Dale Jarrett as Marshall pushed
Chase into third!
"That's not going to go over too well with Rocky and Everest." said Andy Petree. "No, it's not." said Marty as the four pups raced through turns 3 & 4.
"Almost there." said Chase. Then, the checkered flag waved as the four pups raced to it.
"Chase goes high! Skye cuts him off and goes back down low! And it's going to be…CHASE! Chase the Police Pup wins at Daytona in a PHOTO FINISH!" said Marty excitedly as
the field took the checkered flag.
"You won, Chase! YOU DID IT!" said Tony Stewart as the #4 pit crew began their wild celebration. "WOOOOOOOHOOOOO! WE WON IN DAYTONA! AROOOOOOO!" said Chase
as he howled with excitement. Chase beat Skye to the line by seven one-thousandths of a second! Skye, however, was not so happy.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! NO! NO! NO! This can't be possible! I had him at the line! I had this race won! It was won!" said Skye as she drove by, congratulating Chase in the
process. "Way to go, Chase!" said Skye. "Nice job, buddy!" said Marshall. "Totally awesome, dude!" said Zuma. "Congratulations, Chase." said Everest. "Nice work, Chase!"
said Rocky. "Chase did it!" said Rubble. "Yeah, he did!" said Ryder. Everest was furious about what Rocky did.
"WHERE IS THAT PUP?! I'M GOING TO GET HIM FOR THIS MADNESS!" shouted Everest angrily as she drove up behind Rocky and slammed into him furiously.
"Hey! Calm down, Everest! Calm down!" said Ryder, who was watching the fight on the TV in the PAW Patroller. "Rubble, go to Victory Lane and take photos of Chase for me. I
will handle Rocky and Everest." said Ryder. "You got it, Ryder!" said Rubble. "Everest! STOP! STOP IT!" said Rocky as he hit the gas pedal hard to get away. As the rest of the
pups and the other drivers parked on pit road while Chase celebrated his win, Everest furiously pulled up and parked next to Rocky.
"As you can see, Everest is not very happy with Rocky. She might have a talk with him." said Dale Jarrett as Everest parked the car and shut off the engine. "I believe she
wants to have a conversation and have it right now." said Marty Reid as Everest furiously got unbuckled, climbed out of her destroyed #20 Gamestop Toyota Camry, took off
her helmet, HANS device, and gloves, and stormed over to Rocky's #18 Z-Line Designs Toyota Camry with rage.
"TRAITOR!" screamed Everest as she shoved Rocky back hard, causing the gray mixed breed to fall down on his back onto the pavement. "Everest! Stop! I'm sorry!" said
Rocky as he tried to back away while sitting on his behind. "We worked together the whole race as teammates, and THIS is what you do to me?!" shouted Everest. "Everest,
stop! Please! It was an accident!" said Rocky in a frightened voice. "You tried to win and you WRECKED ME! YOU CALL THAT AN ACCIDENT?!" shouted Everest. "Everest! Stop!
This isn't like you!" said Rocky as he got back onto his paws. "You're going to get it now!" said Everest before growling viciously at Rocky. "RYDER! MARSHALL! HELP!
EVEREST IS TRYING TO HURT ME!" cried Rocky as he ran straight for the PAW Patroller. "Come back here, Rocky! I'm not done with you yet!" shouted Everest as she ran after
Rocky.
(Victory Lane)
While all the chaos between Everest and Rocky took place, Chase parked in Victory Lane, completely unaware of the chaos, shut off the engine, got unbuckled, took off his
helmet, HANS device, and gloves, put on an OREO hat, climbed out of the car, and then the big celebration began!
"Wooooohoooo! We won in Daytona!" said Chase happily as he was showered in water by his pit crew. Vince Welch came and interviewed Chase.
"Chase, you did it! You just got the PAW Patrol one step closer to sweeping everything in Daytona this week! How do you feel?" asked Welch. "It feels great to be here in
Victory Lane at Daytona! Chase has completed his case! The case of the winning in Daytona!" said Chase as Zuma and Rubble came into Victory Lane and shared a hug with
Chase. "Chase, how do you feel about your chances tomorrow?" asked Welch. "I feel good about my chances, but if I can't win, I'm going to make sure that Skye wins the
Daytona 500 tomorrow." said Chase. "Good luck tomorrow." said Welch.
"Way to go, dude!" said Zuma. "Thanks! Wait. Where's the rest of the team? How come they're not here yet?" asked Chase. "Rocky and Everest got into a fight, Skye's upset
about finishing second, and it is complete chaos in the garage area right now. Just enjoy your victory." said Rubble before taking photos of Chase with his #4 OREO/Ritz team.
(Garage area)
Everest leapt at Rocky and landed on him, causing a wrestling match between the two pups in the garage area, and punches were thrown too!
"Everest! Stop! AAAAAAH!" cried Rocky as Everest . "No one's here to save you." said Everest before getting in his face and letting out a loud, vicious, snarling growl and
raising her paw, causing Rocky to tremble in fear and causing his eyes to widen with horror. Then, when Everest was about to hit Rocky one last time...
"EVEREST! Stop hurting my friend!" said a familiar Dalmatian. "Marshall?" said Rocky.
"Rocky, are you okay?" asked Marshall. "OW!" cried Rocky. "I guess not. Ryder! Hurry! Over here!" called Marshall as Everest tried to sneak away.
"Not so fast!" said Ryder, now angry. Everest gulped.
"Hi Ryder. How's it going?" asked Everest, chuckling and trying to sound innocent. Ryder was not amused.
(Later that evening)
The PAW Patroller was unusually quiet. Chase was celebrating his win, but Ryder strictly told him to keep his celebration muted, which Chase agreed to, once he learned what
was going on. Skye was still crying because of her 2nd place finish in the Nationwide race after she led at the white flag, and Rubble and Zuma were outside, trying to get
away from all the noise. Ryder then turned to Rocky, who had some cuts and bruises, and Everest, whose bloody paw was cleaned and bandaged up.
"Anyone care to explain?" asked Ryder. "He wrecked me on purpose!" said Everest. "No! It was an accident! I swear it was!" said Rocky.
"Was not!"
"Was too!"
"Was NOT!"
"Was TOO!"
"WAS NOT!"
"WAS TOO!"
"THAT DOES IT! Stop this right now! EVERYBODY STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!" screamed Skye as she ran into the cab, clearly still upset about where she finished in the
race.
"Skye, what's the matter with you? You've been screaming and throwing a tantrum ever since you got back here." said Ryder. "IT'S THEM! THEY CAUSED ME TO ACT
LIKE THIS!" screamed Skye as she pointed at Rocky, Everest, and Chase. "First of all, Chase beat won fair and square. Second, you had nothing to do with the fight. She was
the one who caused it, not me." said Rocky as he pointed at
Everest. "Raise and point your paw at me like that one more time, and I will cause even more pain for you." threatened Everest while showing her teeth. "Everest, that's
enough! Both of you apologize to each other. Now." said Ryder.
"Rocky, I'm sorry for what I did. It wasn't right, and I hope you'll forgive me." said Everest as she started to cry. "I'm sorry for wrecking you. I got too aggressive, and I
ruined the day for both of us. Forgive me? And I forgive you." said Rocky. "I forgive you too." said Everest as she and Rocky shared a hug.
"See? All it takes is for both of you to say sorry. Now, let's just relax and get lots of sleep. Tomorrow's a big day." said Ryder. The pups had their dinner and then fell asleep a
few hours later.
(11:25 pm)
"Skye goes high! She goes back down low!"
"Chase wins it!"
"Skye finishes second!"
"Second!"
"Second!"
"Second!"
Skye's eyes shot open and she woke up fast, breathing heavily from her nightmare.
"I can't do this anymore. I'm such a failure." said Skye as she quietly walked out of the PAW Patroller. Ryder heard the door open and close, even though he was asleep.
"Trevor, Skye walked out of the PAW Patroller again." said Ryder. "I'll handle it." said Bayne. "Thanks. See you in the morning." said Ryder before going back to sleep.
(Tri-oval)
Skye walked up to the start/finish line at the edge of the infield grass and lied there, staring at the line she wanted to be the first across.
"Why? Why can't I win? What am I doing wrong?" Skye asked herself. "A-a-a-CHOO!" Skye sneezed before doing a small flip in the air and landing on her behind on the soft
grass.
"Gesundheit." said Trevor as he walked up behind the crying Cockapoo. "Trevor? What are you doing out here?" asked Skye. "That's what I was going to ask you. It's almost
midnight." said Trevor as he got down to her level. "I'm scared." said Skye, who was on the brink of tears. "Why? You did nothing wrong today, Skye. You ran great!" said
Trevor. "I was afraid you were going to fire me because I didn't win. I led at the white flag, but not at the checkered." said Skye sadly as she lied on her belly on the grass.
"Skye, I would never do that to you. You are driving with a lot of talent. Chase just had more momentum. Plus, you moved up to block him, but then you moved back down in
front of Zuma, and Chase regained his momentum and won." said Bayne. "But what am I going to do, Trevor? I'm starting in the back tomorrow, and I don't want to be
there." said Skye. "Let's go back to my RV. I know what might help you." said Bayne as he walked with her.
"Ryder, I found Skye. She was lying down by the start/finish line in the tri-oval. She's coming back to my RV with me." said Bayne. "Okay. She can spend the night with you if
she wants to." said Ryder. "Thanks. Goodnight." said Bayne. "Goodnight. See you in the morning." said Ryder before putting his Pup-Pad on charge and falling back to sleep.
(Trevor Bayne's RV)
Inside Trevor Bayne's RV, it was warm and cozy.
"Nice RV." said Skye. "Thanks. Here's a bowl of warm milk." said Bayne. "Thanks." said Skye before drinking some milk. "Skye, you know how everyone always pray before
each race, right?" asked Bayne. "Yes." said Skye. "My pit crew and I always get together on pit road and we always say a prayer before each race. It keeps us focused and we
let God do the work." said Bayne. "So, you want me to pray with you before I get in the car tomorrow?" asked Skye. "Yes. But, I want you to remember one thing. This is
from a VeggieTales movie that a lot of Christians like me enjoy: For there is nothing I can't face when God is at my side." said Bayne. "For there is nothing I can't face when
God is at my side." repeated Skye. "That's right. Tomorrow, I will put some tape on the dashboard and I will put it where you can look over and read it before you start your
engine." said Bayne. "Thanks, Trevor." said Skye. "You're welcome. Just remember that God is always with you and that He will never bail on you. Just put your trust and your
faith in Him, and good things will happen." said Bayne. "I will remember that." said Skye before yawning. "Looks like it's bedtime for you." said Bayne as he got on the couch.
Skye followed.
"Aw! Do I have to?" asked Skye. "Okay, Skye. You asked for it." said Bayne, smiling as he tickled Skye's belly, earning happy laughs from the Cockapoo. Eventually, Skye fell
asleep. Trevor gently laid his hand on Skye's head, got down on one knee, and prayed.
"Dear Heavenly Father, I have a friend here who needs you more than ever right now. She needs the will to finish tomorrow's race, the courage to fight her way through the
tough pack, and the strength to stay focused on her job. Guide her, God. Speak to her. Tell her that you will be with her all the way, and that you will be there for her no
matter what. In Jesus' Name I pray, Amen." said Bayne.
Trevor then kissed Skye's head before turning out the lights and falling asleep. Skye smiled to herself and cuddled with Trevor the rest of the night, FINALLY sleeping
peacefully.
Wow! What an epic and dramatic chapter that was! Marshall fights his way back from a spin earlier in the race to finish third, Rubble was involved in a very
bad wreck with Josh Wise, Rocky and Everest tangled on the final lap, Everest wrecked, Chase won the race, a brawl broke out between Rocky and Everest,
and Skye got some very wise words of encouragement! Will Skye put that advice and those words of encouragement she was given to good use? And who
will win the Daytona 500? Find out next time in PAW Patrol: Pups Save Daytona! Read and review, please! Happy Memorial Day!
Until the next chapter/race, alvinnascar5 is off!
