Aging Tennessee racer Keith Ownes loses to young Davis McDowell. Owens, suffering from shaking hands when he races, announce his intent to retire. His daughter Katy beats Davis in several rounds of go-karting, starting a feud between the two men. Owens sabotages Davis's car, but he witnesses this and sabotages it further. At a practice session, he lets Katy drives his car and it crashes, putting her in a coma. Having befriended Charlie and knowing of her lie detection ability, he shifts the blames to Owens, who publicly confesses his guilt when confronted. Charlie notices Davis lying about Katy's crash being an accident, and he catches her looking through his garage. He tries to run her off the road after refusing to answer his questions. At his next race, she tells him that Katy woke up and will race him after she recovers, and as she leaves, his hands start to shake.
