With new participants, fresh teams, upgraded cars and tougher rivals, the racing action begins in Hebron, Ohio, marking the start of an exhilarating season.
It's the first points race of the season and getting a win in Florida is no easy feat. Heat and humidity add to the competition and everyone's hungry for the $40,000 prize.
Ryan Martin and Murder Nova look to continue their strong starts; after a storm, racers struggle to adjust to an already dangerous track; a disagreement threatens to pull Team X apart.
The team arrive in New England. Ryan Martin is still the racer to beat but a parts failure might just open the door for someone new to walk away with $40,000 and a major points grab.
At Maple Grove Raceway, Ryan Martin, Cody Baker and Eric Kvilhaug are in a three-way tie for first place; Murder Nova tries to figure out a way to help his team with a broken car; Chuck slow plays Justin Swanstrom.
Several weeks into the season, racers are struggling to keep their cars running at peak performance, working long days and long nights just to get race ready. Factor in extreme heat and a greasy surface, and someone's bound to hit a wall.
