After anger management class that night, Swizzle walks back to the hotel as it slowly starts to rain.
"Why me?" Swizzle asks himself. "Why do I get so angry on the track? Why do I get so jealous on the track? Why do I intentionally want to hurt people?"
He ponders on those questions, going back to everything he's done to the other racers. As he arrives at the hotel, he can't help but cry, knowing he's done more bad things than he ever thought possible.
He walks into the hotel, soaked with rain and filled with guilt, tears hitting the ground.
The next day, the racers are preparing for the Caramel City Classic. Well, every racer but Herschel, Sticky, Clair, Minty, Crumbelina, Dylan, and Crimson. They were getting ready for a meeting with Herschel's dad. Herschel called him at the party the previous night, and he agreed to meet with them at the Chiller Bee before the Caramel City Classic race.
"Okay, guys, we're going to go after Sugar Racing Today. After the show's over, we're off to the Chiller Bee to meet with me father." Herschel says, zipping up his Pepsi Max racing jacket.
The six racers with him nod and prepare themselves for the day as the other racers go to breakfast to watch today's edition of Sugar Racing Today.
As soon as everyone is assembled in the hotel's food court for breakfast, Sugar Racing Today comes on.
"Hello, everyone!" Charlie says, smiling. "My name is Charlie Fizzypop, and this is my co-anchor, Natalia Italian-Ice! And today is race day!"
"Indeed it is, Charlie." Natalia says, smiling. "This race will be a little more difficult, considering the size of the track, and with only 300 laps, this race will be one to remember."
"Indeed it will be, Natalia. Now, let's go to our racing correspondent, Kevin Fluggerbutter, live from Caramel City International Speedway." Charlie says as the scene changes to Kevin at the speedway.
"Thank you, Charlie. Yes, race fans, the track you see behind me will soon be filled with racers, all racing for another chance to gain points for the Grand Prix. As you all know, Swizzle Malarkey will not be in this race, thanks to his actions in the Fudge Shoppe 400." Kevin says, staring into the camera. "As you can see behind me, fans are starting to tailgate in the tailgating area. Marshmallow burgers, chocolate chip cookies, chocolate pizzas, honey-glazed ribs, Oreo steaks, the possibilities are endless!"
"Looks good, Kevin." Charlie says, drooling slightly.
"Indeed it does." Natalia says, smiling.
"And it seems the Jolly Rancher fans still have a grudge against their racer. Let me see if I can talk to one of them." Kevin says, walking up to a green Jolly Rancher fan. "Excuse me, Gracie Green Rancher, what can you tell me about your grudge against your racer?"
"Well, Swizzle has no right to race after everything we've seen him do. If we could, we'd burn him at the stake and yell candy profanities at him!" Gracie yells. "He's a low-down, dirty, mother-f..." she says before Kevin cuts her off.
"DOWN WITH SWIZZ! DOWN WITH SWIZZ!" the other Jolly Ranchers chant as they march around Swizzle's fan stand holding picket signs with a variety of interesting sayings and pictures of Swizzle's face behind a red X.
"Wow..." Kevin says. "Looks like there's gonna be a riot against Swizzle at tonight's race. Back to you guys, as there will be more on this later." The scene changes back to Charlie and Natalia at the anchor desk.
"Well, looks like this race will be an intense one." Charlie says. "Now, we bring you our winner predictions, brought to us today by Dollar General."

"Who's your pick out of the three racers shown here, Charlie?" Natalia asks Charlie.
"Well, if I had to pick one, it would have to be Crimson Crunch. Even as a force to be reckoned with on the track, she is quite the racer, and don't let her Life Saver Land Mines take you off track!" Charlie says, smiling.
"Well, I pick Rancis. Ever since his first victory after fifteen years, I've rooted for the Reese's sponsored racer, and I'm confident he will win this race." Natalia says as she smiles at Charlie.
"And we just heard that some kids will be meeting with Reese Nougatson today concerning some past events with Swizzle Malarkey. We'll break into programming as needed." Charlie says. "Good-bye for now!"
The show cuts off and commercials begin to play as Herschel and the six racers with him leave for the Chiller Bee Shake Shoppe & Ice Cream Parlor.
Herschel, Sticky, Clair, Dylan, Crumbelina, Crimson, and Minty arrive at the Chiller Bee to see Reese Nougatson sitting at a booth with an Oreo Cookies & Cream shake, a serious look on his face. The seven racers order plain vanilla shakes and sit in the booth where Reese is.
"Dad, we're here, and we have the footage to show you." Herschel says as he pulls out a portable DVD player.
"Excellent, son. Let's see what we have here..." Reese says as Herschel turns on the DVD.
(The clips playing on the DVD: Swizzle shoving Herschel's kart at last year's Truffle Garden 500, Swizzle starting a fight with Dylan at last year's Sugar Cube Village 500, Sticky and Swizzle crashing into each other at last year's Grand Prix with Swizzle punching her repeatedly while claiming it was her fault he had to stop racing, Swizzle shoving Clair's kart into the wall at the Fudge Shoppe 400, Swizzle pushing Crumbelina's kart around like a toy at the same race, Swizzle intentionally shoving Minty's kart into the wall at last year's Caramel City Classic, Swizzle crashing into Crimson at the Caramel City Classic in 2011, Swizzle using Sugar-X to cheat at the Grand Prix in 2012, and some graphic footage of Swizzle running over Gloyd in 2010's Sugar Cube Village 500)
Reese's jaw drops at all the stuff he's seeing. "Unbelievable...just mind-blowing...he hurt his fellow racers, all because of wanting to win..." he shakes his head.
"What are you going to do, Mr. Nougatson?" Crimson asks Reese.
"Some members of the SRGP Board of Directors are here with me. And they saw the footage with me. It seems that banishment from racing until the end of the Grand Prix season seems to be on the table at this point. What do you say, gentlemen and lady?" Reese asks the directors, who are shaking their heads in disbelief.
"This footage is reason for banishment, sir." a fizzy purple gummy bear says.
"Oh, Mod..." a green peppermint man shakes his head. "GUILTY AS CHARGED, BANISHMENT...BANISH HIM FROM RACING..."
"I say banish him, sir." a heart lollipop lady says. "This footage is just...wow..." she shakes her head, surprised as can be.
"Banishment it is, then." Reese says, turning to face Herschel. "Son, thanks for showing me this footage. I never knew he violated so many SRGP rules at once..."
"You're welcome. So, what are you going to do?" Herschel asks him.
"Me and the board of directors will banish him from racing until the end of the Grand Prix season. Even after his anger management classes, he will still be BANNED from racing until the end of the Grand Prix season. His name will be removed from the race rosters for the rest of the season." Reese says.
"That is a relief to all of us..." Herschel says.
"Breaking News!" Charlie says, coming up on the TV screen. "We just got word that Swizzle Malarkey has now been banned from racing for the rest of the season!"
Everyone in the game cheers like crazy.
Swizzle sees this news, and his face falls. "I've been b-banned..." he sadly shakes his head.
But everyone else in the game couldn't be happier.
