"Last time on Total Drama Indianapolis! The remaining 9 contestants went NASCAR qualifying! Lots of things happened! Tyler flipped, Sierra had a tie explosion, and in the end, it was Courtney who crashed out huge, and went home."
Chris is standing in the flag stand, drinking some root beer. "Today, we go NASCAR racing! Can Heather win immunity for the 4th straight event in a row! Will Tyler and Lindsey break free of her grasp? Will Duncan finally end his winless streak? Can Cody and Sierra regain enough popularity with their other two ex-team mates to stay on? And what will become of Noah and Izzy?"
When he asks that, the split screen showing Noah on the right and Izzy on the left plays pre-recorded audio samples. "I'm not your boyfriend Izzy!"
"Sure you are! We all need someone to satisfy regular hormonal drives!"

-Theme song ends here-
"You seem happy today." Heather remarks as her ex-teammate sits down at the table.
"Why shouldn't I be! The law finally caught up with HER! Now I've got nothing left in my way."
-Heather's POV-
"I know that early in the season, I remarked that Courtney, Gwen, and Duncan would be issues. The first two have resolved themselves, but the later…I think I can best him in the final 2. Besides, I need an alliance, as my hold on Tyler and dumb blonde Lindsey won't hold on forever. One of them will eventually try to break away."
-Duncan's POV-
"Normally, I wouldn't be worried right about now. But the problem is that 6 of the other 7 characters here are underdogs. And kids that I've had problems with. United, they'll knock me out easily. However, Maybe, just maybe, I can concede myself into Heather's alliance! Her grip on Tyler and Lindsey won't last forever! And I need every bit of help I can get."
-Heather's POV-
"The only thing I am briefly, yet seriously, worried about is Cody. With Mason here giving him all sorts of insights about the car, it gives him a distinct advantage. If there is one thign I hate, it's a unfair fight stacked in the favor of another. So I'll either have to ditch Mason…or Cody."
-Normal POV-
"Good day contestants! Are you ready to race again!"
"Am I ready to shear myself into the fence? Yes, yes I am." Noah remarked, throwing his fork down.
"Wonderful! There are only 8 of you however, so rather then doing a full 400 mile race, I'll just have you do a 200 mile one. You know, 80 laps."
"Makes since. This speedway IS 2.5 miles around."
"Correct Cody! So, everyone should start getting strapped into their seats of their stock cars! We're going racing!"
-12 minutes later-
"Chris calling Chef, come in Chef." No answer. Chris tapped the headset lightly. "Chef can you hear me?"
"YOOW!" The receiver screamed into the other headset. "You have any idea how loud that is?"
"My apologizes! Did you get the cars full of fuel?"
"Yes."
"Full of Fresh tires?"
"Yes."
"Fixed the Pit lane entrance camera?"
"Darn right I did."
"Put the onboard cameras in the cars of Duncan, Izzy, and Cody?"
"Yeah."
"And is the phones all linked together?"
"Yes they are."
"Mason is up on the spotter stands, right?"
"Yeah."
"Good! Let's go green!"
-IN car audios-
"Let's gettum tiger!" Izzy screamed into her radio.
"I forgot. The psycho hose beast forgot to qualify well."
"Won't matter a bit! There's only 4 of us, and only one driver between us! Round 3, thank you!" She remarked.
"Cody, I'll slam draft you as far as I can down the straight-aways!"
"Sierra, don't you think tha-"
"Work with that idea." Mason commented. "This track's back straight-aways are very similar to those of Daytona and Talladega. Just make sure she is off your bumper by the time you go into turns 1 and 3."
"GREEN GREEN GREEN GREEN GREEN GREEN GREEN!" Chris shouted out. "And as soon as they jump out of the gate, everyone scrambles! Heather guns it full speed going into one, and our first lap, first turn won't be a problem! Neither will the second corner, as they are running down the straightaway now! Heather leads, Noah second, Izzy up to third, Lindsey 4th, Duncan 5th, Cody and Tyler fighting for 6th position, and dead last, 8th, goes to Sierra!"
And as the first lap roared by, Izzy tapped Noah on the left rear quarter panel. It got him loose just enough that he drifted up the track, and she drove by on the frontstretch. Now, she sat her sights on Heather.
Like late in the Indy car race, the two females pulled away a bit from the rest of the field in the following several laps, but this time, there was now a 3 way battle for the 3rd position.
"Come on you idiots! Let me through already!" Duncan yelled through the monitor.
"Sorry! I'm just determined!"
"I'll show you determined you little $!+%! He slammed her in the left rear quarter panel, and as she drifted up the track, the hit Noah in his left rear quarter panel with her right front fender. As he did that, she checked up, and went WAY up the racetrack going through turn 3, while Noah got sideways, spun the wheel, gunned it, and came down the track door to door with the 07.
Duncan wouldn't take it, and he slammed the 18 going through turn 4. The Toyota drifted, but not high enough for him to make a pass, and rather, Noah had the advantage going down the stretch. Duncan her Lindsey behind him remark "Dunny! That's just mean!"
"Mean is how I live! Live with it sister!" He shouted through gritted teeth.
-Lindsey's POV-
"Normally, if someone taps me in the rear, like Tyler, I don't care! He has the firmest hands. But Dunny, no that's not his name…Domino! Yeah, Domino slams he hard and tires to hurt me! It's not right!"
-Normal POV-After commercial break-
"Welcome back to TDIR's race at Indianapolis Motor speedway, the 'Chef's super slusho Sushi 200!'. While we were away at a commercial break, Duncan finally got around Noah, and this is how.
-replay of how Duncan finally got around Noah-
Going into turn 2, Duncan looks high. Noah goes up to block, then realizes that he just stepped out of line. Before he did though, Duncan rams the bookworm in the rear quarter panel, then coming out of turn 2 and onto the backstretch, he guns it and pulls away.
The onboard from Duncan's car shows that he wasn't trying to ram him in the rear, and rather, turn him via 'the hook', but Noah kept control SOMEHOW again.
"So as we approach lap 35, riding on board with leader Izzy, who passed Heather relatively cleanly about 10 laps ago, the current rundown is this. Izzy first, Heather second, Duncan 3rd, Lindsey and Noah dueling for 4th, Tyler 6th, and Cody 7th, with Sierra off the pace in 8th. 55 laps remaining as HOLY GOD IZZY IS UP IN FLAMES AND CRASHING!"
Sure enough, Izzy's 55 machine came costing down pit lane, still going about 75 mph, the car completely going up in smoke and the engine along with the right front tire in flames. The emergency hatch on the roof popped up, and the redhead climbed out, slinging her entire body out at once. She jumped onto the ground, and took her helmet off, shaking her head while looking at the flaming machine's remains as several interns rushed to put it out.
"So this is the first caution of the day! The crash happened in turn 4, so let's see what happened."
-Replays of First Caution-
Coming into focus, the pit road entrance camera catches the blue 55 drift very, very high going into turn 4, and she slaps the wall decently hard. As she approaches pit lane from the wall hit, smoke begins to billow out of the hood while the right front catches fire. It turns to the side to catch the 55 then slapping the inside retaining wall going into the pit lane.
The wall camera from Turn 4 displays the 55 coming in, full throttle, then just before the car drives by, the right front tire blows, and goes into the outside wall, much like Jimmie Johnson did in 2007. The main difference was that His occurred in turn 3, while the female contestant's happened in turn 4.
The Turn 1 camera catches the car driving up the track, then pancaking the outside wall because of the tire issue. As it comes down the track, the engine goes up in flames also, and flames begins to billow out of the hood of the car, along with underneath and behind it.
The onboard with Izzy is the bonnet camera, and she is just fine coming out of three. Then, the tire explodes, tearing up some sheet metal on that quarter panel, then the machine slaps the wall, and as she tries to maneuver it into the pits, explosions go up, and flames billow out form the hood, and briefly cover the car. It switches to the in-car camera, where they watch Izzy try to pull down the window net, but after slapping the inside pit road barrier, it's jammed, so she opens the roof hatch, and slings herself out.
-End replays-Izzy's POV-
"Wow! Cool! I was on FIRE!"
-Mason's POV-
"The crash, which was very reminiscent of Jimmie Cheater Johnson's in 2007 is quite interesting. I can not recall a time in which the emergency roof hatch has had to be used for the cars…Unfortunately, this means that Heather is going to win immunity."
-Normal POV-
"And everyone is coming in for 4 fresh Goodyear eagles! Not surprising, since this seems to be a re-enactment of rubber gate form 2008!"
"I though rubber gate was in 2005 at Pocono!" Cody shouted over the radio.
-Cody's POV-
"I'm not a NASCAR geek, that's Harold and Mason. But about 2006-ish, I did a report on various '-gate' scandals. Watergate, sexgate, rubber gate, etc. Not just that, Mason calls the 2008 brickyard race 'worst race ever'. I asked him to explain it, but he said it made him angry just thinking about it…
-Normal POV-
"So, on lap 35 our first caution flies. Chef is in the infield with more on tires."
"Chris, where is my paycheck!"
"Ummm, Lost it in the bathroom?" Fine, Mason is on the Spotter's stand with more on the tires."
"Thank you Chris! These tires here are the set of Cody's tires from his qualifying run last week! In it, the right front was apparently punctured with a knife of some sort, much like Heather's or Duncan's. The high speeds forced the air out of the tire, and what air remained in the tire heated up. As it went into Turn 3, the tire totally deflated, and was mere seconds away from blowing up, had Cody let out of the gas and lose most of his speed. Now we go to Today. Izzy's right front tire similarly received a puncture…at least, that what's I theorized. If that is the case, replay Cody's incident, but she didn't realize it, and drove the flat tire into Turns 3 and 4. Assuming she just got into the corners to hot, she overdrove the car to keep it out of the wall, and the tire exploded, and upon hitting the wall, the rubber ignited aflame, shooting sparks into the car's engine to ignite that also. IF this keeps up, Tires will be a severe issue today."
And as the green flag flew again, Heather easily takes the lead with no quarrels. Everything was good on the restart for her, but behind her, Lindsey, Noah, and Duncan were having a three way battle for the 2nd spot.
Duncan, on the backstretch, ran his car to the high side, and using his car like a sideways battering ram, moved Lindsey down the track, to where her right front wheels touched the grass, and she had to back out of the gas to save it. Noah drove around her without problem, but Tyler smacked her in the rear end. Yet, it successfully gave her the boost she needed going into one, and she pulled even with the 18 again, fighting intensely for the spot.
Duncan, despite getting 2nd, wasn't gaining on Heather, and was actually slightly slower then Heather and Lindsey. This looked to be a long day for anyone not named 'Heather'.
