In Bly's camp, team owner Carl Henry (BURT REYNOLDS), a former driver now confined to a wheelchair, decides to call in veteran driver Joe Tanto (SYLVESTER STALLONE) to replace the rookie's driving partner, Memo Moreno (CRISTIAN DE LA FUENTE). Joe hasn't driven in years, but Carl believes in him, particularly since they go back a long ways through the racing circuit together.
As Jimmy's manager and brother, DeMille (ROBERT SEAN LEONARD), tries to keep his sibling focused and away from Sophia, Joe deals with his still bitter ex-wife, Cathy (GINA GERSHON), who's married to Memo; an ambitious journalist, Lucretia "Luc" Clans (STACY EDWARDS), who wants to cover the sport and his return to it; and Carl's ruthless approach at winning.
With only ten races left in the season, Joe does what he can to deal with all of those and other external factors and complications, all while trying to help Jimmy grow as a racer and not forget what got him into racing in the first place.
Various car crashes occur, some of which might be somewhat tense for some viewers (the cars disintegrate, fly across the track and one ends up upside down in a body of water where others must rescue the driver), although no one is killed. Some other brief pushing and one punch also occur. Various characters have varying degrees of bad attitudes, while some also drink at various events. Beyond that, kids might get the idea to drive cars down the street at high speeds (as occurs in one scene).
