Strip Weathers, watching from the pits the fans fill the stands of Datona Speedway for the first race the season for The Piston Cup Circuit.

'The first run of my final season,' thought the blue racecar, mellowly. Pulling back, he drives back to his sponsor's tent but stopping at times to give out autographs for his fans. After one of these stops he was approached by a fellow racecar.

"Hey there, Junior. How ya been doing?" asked The King as he continues with Dale Jr coasting along side.

"Doing good. I just checking the racing roster and we've got four rookies starting this year, said Junior.

"All from the Nationwide Sprint Cup Circuit, most likely," commented the Superbird as they pass the Rust-eze tent.

"All but one. He is an unknown thou his last name seems familiar to me. I don't know why."

"Really. What's the Kid's name?" asked Strip but before Junior answers, another voice snidely spoke up.

"Why should 'The King' worry about a rookie that won't last the season. When he had real racecars that are ready to take his title," said Chick Hicks. A blocky stockcar who's arrogance knows no bounds. " This year is the beginning of the 'Chick Era'."

"Don't go counting your golden trophies before their won, Chick. No one can know how this season comes out," warned Strip. Chick thick grille rose upon his smirking lip, he opens his mouth to make another snide comment but couldn't as a red and orange blur came rushing by.

"Pardon me, excuse me coming through," said the car as he passes between the other cars. "Thanks!"

"Watch it, you punk! Well, I say 'Hi' from the Winner's Circle," said Chick as he turns away. Not looking, the green racecar drives into the spilled contents of a large ice chest. He slips and slides on the melting ice into the tent of Team Nitroade, then into the table holding containers full of nitroade drink and knocks it over onto himself.

The King and Junior, having followed to check if he was ok, busts out laughing at seeing Chick covered in green nitroade. The guest of Nitroade joined in as well as the racecar gets up and drives carefully but quickly away.
