Last time on TOTAL DRAMA INDIANAPOLIS RACING! The remaining 9 contestants had a former team leader return to the competition. Needless to say, a lot of competitors weren't happy with that. Everyone had to directly defy the Bible and walk through the flames, and it burnt. A LOT!
The flashbacks end here. "Today, we are doing a challenge that I've been looking forward to since late July! What will it be? You'll find out here on TOTAL
DRAMA
INDIANAPOLIS

-Theme song ends here-
In the men's trailer, everyone was comfortably up and moving about. Chris had already, rudely, woken them up on the cloudy day, and none of them wanted to really get to the challenge. Who knew what it was going to be this time around.
"What do you think it'll be this time?" Cody asked aloud, breaking the silence.
"I wouldn't know." Duncan responds, running some hairspray into his mohawk. "Probably something else that would be put in favor of Courtney or Heather."
-Duncan's POV-
"My reaction on how those two females have seemingly been dominating the last several challenges? Not much. It just lets me know that I have to work more strategically, aka, an alliance." He remarks, leaning back and folding his arms nonchalantly. "I have some options open, some closed. Who knows?"
-Normal POV-
"Possibly, something like a foot race." Tyler remarks, doing various morning 'stretches'.
"Or with our fascinating luck, a survival of the fittest challenge." Noah replied to the challenge.
"Good point." Cody remarks. "But it's not likely that Chris is done trying to kill us."
"You mean?" Noah asked, and Tyler and Duncan both looked at the gap-toothed geek expectantly.
"Possibly something else race themed!"
"Like what? This is Indianapolis! Only Indy cars race here!"
"Or so we thought, prior to coming to the race. Think hard. What was it that Harold was looking forward to so much this season?"
"The million." Tyler remarked.
"No no, besides that! Some racing series. NASA? No not NASA. NARCA? Ugghh! I can't remember!"
"ARCA?"
"No no. Something about Dale Earndhart and this Jeff guy winning in this series. Oh what was it…."
"Dork-car?" Duncan snidely remarked.
"That' it! NASCAR!"
"Lame. Nothing exciting has happened here in the NASCAR series since it came here, nothing will. Don't you remember IROC? Flat plus fast equals boring. If Chris was thinking of views, he'd go for…"
"Something that appeals to an AMERICAN fan base! He's in America, broadcasting THIS show on the SPEED channel! Why not NASCAR!"
"Then that means blown tires for everyone!" Tyler proclaimed. "Harold was always talking on how bad this track was on tires."
"Ohhhh boy."
-Girl's cabin-
"I'm telling you, this mirror isn't big enough for the both of us!" Courtney remarked, shoving Heather out of the way.
"And I'm telling you, that I was there first!" She shouted back, pushing the CIT away from the mirror again.
"Why you…" Courtney pounced onto the female, and the two began rolling around on the floor, choking each other. Before long, Heather had Courtney pinned to the floor, her hands on her neck. "Give up!"
"NO!" She shouted, kneeing the defending champion in the stomach, then the two continued rolling around, this time, with Courtney pinning the brunette to the floor with her knees and hands. "Surrender?"
"No!" She replied, and the two continued at it.
-Courtney's POV-
"The fact that Heather is still in the game means that she is still the pick to win. However, her immunity won't last forever! And when it does, WHAM! I'll pop her off instantly, Then I'll be left with Duncan, and he'll trip himself up, handing the million to me." She held out her hand as if someone was setting a case with a lot of property in it. "Thank you."
-Heather's POV-
"I'm not as worried about Courtney as you'd think I'd be. She'll knock herself out with some silly little mistake, a feud or something, of the likes of what happened in the IROC and IZOD races. No problem. Duncan is still in the way, but he's lacking alliance members…which is where my strong point is."
-Normal POV-
In the mean time, Sierra and Lindsey found even time between the two of them two add on what makeup they would need. Izzy was already out the door. Unlike the males, the females weren't the least bit concerned about the day's challenge.
-21 minutes later, Garage area-
The 9 teenagers were standing around, waiting patiently for the host to arrive. Some were flittering the time away by making out, specially, Tyler and Lindsey, who were rolling on the ground behind the other 7 contestants.
"Welcome contestants!" Chris remarked, throwing a towel to the side as the steam rose of his body after finishing a hot shower. "Today's challenge will be quick, because we might be having rain today."
"Just tell us what it is." Noah remarks aloud.
"All in due time. First up, a Weather forecast!" A college hat seemingly appears on Chris' head, along with a pointing stick and a easel with a map of Indiana and the surrounding states on it, a giant 'L' on the map. "According to this weather system, we'll be having a Low pressure system on the way, meaning that lots of rain will be dumped on us for reasons that I don't care to explain!" He throws the college stuff off, and tosses it to the side. "In other news, our challenge today will be about NASCAR racing!"
"I knew it." Cody whispered to Sierra.
"Or to be more precise, NASCAR Qualifying! Like in the Indy car qualifying race, the driver with the worst time, or doesn't complete their laps, won't continue to the final 8. They'll be knocked off, given the boot, eliminated, without a voting ceremony, media surrounding you at the elimination, etc. Just straight to the Toyota Truck of Shame!"
Everyone looked on, nervousness in the air.
"Also, I'll be bringing in another person to the speedway! He will directly influence one character of his choice, and will do whatever he can to aid that competitor! I want you to meet, Mason!"
A tall, heavyset male stepped out of the Toyota truck of Shame. "Hello everyone!" He was easily over 6 feet, but was on the chunky side, still small compared to Owen. He had dark hair and bluish eyes, and was wearing a black shirt which showed on it Jeff Gordon celebrating his win in the 2005 Daytona 500.
"Mason has been a loyal, but not Sierra-styled stalker, follower of the Total Drama series since Season 1! But more importantly to THIS challenge, he is a avid NASCAR fan!"
"Yes I have been! 24 all the way!"
"However, since Owen, who drove the 24 is gone, He'll be choosing one of you to give his assitance to! Mason, your choice is?"
Mason studied the competitors. "Not Noah, Not Izzy, Not Tyler or Lindsey, Not Duncan, Not Sierra." He took a pause to inhale. "And HELL NO to Heather and TRIPLE F*NG HELL NO TO COURTNEY!" The Asian brunette's face narrowed into a look of hatred, while Courtney was a bit taken back by the sudden outburst. And that leaves only one guy left…Cody!"
"Yes!" Cody brought his fist down form the sky slow speed like he just won the jackpot.
"Good! Now, find the cars with your appropriate name on it." Everyone went to their appropriate car numbers. For those of you that don't remember the drawing in the season's opening event, then car numbers for the remaining drivers are:
Courtney-00
Izzy-55
Noah-18
Tyler-14
Lindsey-48
Cody-31
Sierra-29
Duncan-07
Heather-1
The cars are exactly like the ones being currently raced in the Sprint Cup series, same sponsors and all, save for Izzy's, which looked more like the 56 paint scheme, with the 55 on it.
"Good! Now, Chef arranged the order after choosing his lottery tickets"
-Flashback-
"How about 48-1-14-18-55, with a 29-31-07-00 for my power ball pick…Oh yeah, I'm wining the lottery baby!"
-End Flashback-
"This means, that Lindsey will run around the track first!"
-Lindsey's qualifying lap-
The blonde climbs into the car, and as several interns do up her window net, she drives away. After she completes her warm up lap, the female guns it going down the front stretch, and brakes going into one. No problems seem to be plaguing her, as she easily runs lap one without problem. Lap 2 proves to be just as good, and she posts an 180.92 miles per hour run.
-Heather's Qualifying run-
Heather's run is much better, as she smokes it out with a 184.31 mph set of laps. As her car ran down pit lane, Mason, who was conversing with Cody about going into turn 3 was flipped off by her middle finger. He saw that, and pointed to her, basically saying 'You too!'
-Tyler's Qualifying run-
Tyler's first lap proves to be just fine, as it knocks down a 183.27 mph lap, then he drives into the second one.
But like Harold's predictions were, tires would be a problem. Going into turn 1, the right rear tire blew while he was running almost 190 mph. Running backwards, the roof flaps deploy, but they didn't do their job good enough. The rear of the car lifted into the air, and it went onto it's roof in mid air, then slammed the fence with the nose of the car, and it landed on it's tail, pirouetting before landing on all four wheels.
Chris cringed at the violence of the impact on all fours. Then, as Tyler began to climb out of his damaged 14 machine, the red flag was waved for track cleanup.
-Replays-
Form the Turn 1 grandstands, Tyler's machine goes sideways, and it looks like the car would stay on the ground for a split second, until it just lifted into the air. The bottom side of the machine was very easily seen, and it looked like it would complete a flip in mid air completely and land violently on all fours, when the front of the machine jammed into the fence. The impact damaged the fencing in Turn 1 heavily, and showered debris into the stands, and the car lands on it's trunk, sliding extremely briefly like that before landing on it's right set of wheels, the rest of the car slamming onto the ground afterwards.
The Infield camera shows the machine getting airborne, and the start looks like Brad Keselowski's flip at Atlanta in the 2010 Kolbalt tools 500. Difference: Keselowski barely missed the fence, Tyler went higher into the air and didn't. The impact onto the rear of the car, along with the rest of the landing is blocked by trees.
The Wall camera shows the exact same thing, but catches the landing onto the rear end of the car quite well, as it slides by the camera, it is sliding on the trunk while about to land correctly.
The last angle is the on board camera. Going into one, the bonnet camera records audibly the tire's explosion, and as the machine spins around, the flip is picked up perfectly. The camera does get a little fuzzy when it slams onto the ground on all fours, but it records the crash's sounds quite well.
-End Replay's-
"So this means that unless a freak accident happens to another driver, Tyler is going to go home today on TDIR!" Chris remarks.
"I'm so sorry Tyson! I wish it didn't happen!" Lindsey remarked, hugging the jock tightly in an attempt to cheer him up.
Mason studied replays of the incident. "I guess Destroy was right. It's goanna be a tires issued race."
-Noah's qualifying run-
Once the track was cleaned up and fence repaired, the contestants were running on borrowed time. Chris desperately wanted the qualifying done, so while a driver started his cool-down lap around the track, the next driver would begin their warm-up lap. While this is common in NASCAR racing usually, the narcissist didn't think it through.
Noah had a great first lap, and his second was better, just edging Heather for the pole. 184.97 mph. Purely fascinating.
-Izzy's qualifying run-
Despite having a fast car, she had nothing to show for it, as her first lap she ran way to high up the track. Her second one was better, besting her illegitimate boyfriend's best lap, although when averaged together, it only was 4th best out of 5 drivers.
-Sierra's Qualifying run-
The sugar-addicted fangirl's run was even worse then Izzy's. ON the last lap, going down the backstretch, her left front tire exploded. Not blew, but EXPLODED! MICHAEL BAY STYLE! So she had to back it WAYYYY off going through the turns. Her run buried her, but she did finish, so she was staying on another week.
-Cody's Qualifying run-
With all the great information he received, His run was going great, right above 185 mph. But on the second lap going into turn 3, he had to back way off the gas, and couldn't' get back on as the right front tire suddenly deflated. Mason grabbed the sides of his hair, and yanked small amounts out in frustration, while Heather shut up a pocketknife, and put it in one of her pockets, smirking as Cody finished his qualifying lap by coasting down pit lane.
180.01 isn't that great of a number, but it bested Sierra's and Tyler's at least. When Cody got out, Mason requested to observe the car's tires, and the host allowed him to do so.
-Duncan's Qualifying run-
The punk drove through at full speed, and only nailed a measly 180.72. Better then Cody's, but he'd be qualifying 5th at best.
-Courtney's Qualifying run-
Courtney's 00 machine was fascinating. Every scoring loop said that her machine was faster then Noah's. Going through turn 4, however, fate worked against her. Her right rear tire blew, just like Tyler's, and she spun coming out of 4. The car got an inch or so off the ground, but the roof flaps deployed, and landed/kept the car on the ground, only to…WHAM! For her to plow into the pit road retaining barrier, rear first. The severely destroyed machine spun down the pit lane, spinning a few times, but she technically wouldn't even complete her first lap, the car stopping about 15 feet short of the Start-finish line.
The reaction by the competitors was shared. Almost all of them, with the exception of Lindsey and Tyler who were making out on the Pit lane wall, leaped in the air, grabbed the sides of their face, or screamed in approval of the incident. Mason did all three, screaming "HARD! HARD! MICHAEL WALTRIP IMPACT! SHE'S OUT! SHE IS F*NG OUT!"
She stepped out of the car, infuriated, then got right up into Chris' face, and the two began a shouting match. The last remaining member of what HAD been Team modeling gave Chris a firm two handed shove on the chest, but he ignored it, and Chef picked her up.
-Replays-
The Turn 4 wall camera, as Courtney drives buy, barely catches the rear tire shredding as she runs around the track. As it does, the camera spins around to face the frontstretch, only to see the double-zero machine spin into the infield, and with the rear end, plow the tire-barrier. The impact is extremely hard, apparently, knocking the rear of the car into the air, spinning it around 270 degrees, with the nose on the ground still, as the fuel cell is sheared from the car, along with the right rear tire, and a lot of the metal frame on the rear of the car, with the suspension hanging on by a thread. Amazingly, the fuel tank, despite slamming on the ground behind the pit wall, doesn't ignite, despite the container being ruptured.
The infield camera moves just as fast as her spinning machine, but as it impales the pit road barrier, it briefly losses the machine, only to pick it up as it lands back on the ground and begins spinning down pit lane, debris flying everywhere.
The Turn 1 camera, shooting down the frontstretch, catches nothing but the spin, and the seemingly explosion as the barrier impales the rear of her car.
The Pit-road barrier camera catches the machine spinning coming out of Turn 4, the car briefly lifting into the air, then plowing the barrier. The impact knocks the camera back and to the side, the lens shattered to the extent that anything picked up can't be identified.
Finally, the onboard camera. IT is the in-car camera, which is pointing straight forward in the crash. Going through Turn 4, the popping of the tire can be faintly picked up, and as the machine spins backwards, the left side of the camera picks up Courtney not able to control her machine, and then WHAM! The impact bends the dashboard, and send it into a wild spin. The noise of the impact itself sounds like a bomb going off, and the subsequent spinning sounds like metal dragging on concrete, even if that's not what the IMS pit lane isn't made out of.
-End replays-
Tyler and Courtney both stood in the 'Gasoline Alley' of the super speedway complex. Finally, Tyler asked to the host, who was pushing some buttons into a calculator. "Uh, who's leaving?"
"Doesn't matter which way I crunch the numbers, it looks like it will be YOU leaving, Courtney. You didn't complete your first lap."
"WHY! I'm GONNA MURDERIZE YOU!" She attempted to leap forward, but a familiar voice spoke up form the side.
"There won't be a need to do that. Courtney Andrews, you are being charger for attempted murder on Gwen Eman on Saturday, August the 13th, 2011." The burly police officer remarked, and another taller, skinny one handcuffed her form behind.
"YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS! I HAVE LAWYERS! AND I'M COMING FOR YOU CHRIS! I'M COMING FOR YOU GOOD!" She screamed, and before she could get anymore out, she was forced into the squad car, and drove out of the speedway complex.
"Well folks!" Chirrs remarks, turning back around to the camera, "Justice always prevails! Despite flipping his car, Tyler will be racing next week, and will be just as much at risk of being voted off as anyone else basically! With Courtney gone, we're down to the final 8! Who's going to make it to the final 7! Can Mason's tips be enough to help Cody make it past the upcoming race? Find out next time, here, on TOTAL
