Now Playing (in Virginia)...

Speed TV Talking Head: ...and while Marty Smith was arrested, he was able to slip between the metal bars to freedom. And now for a new feature on Speed: Past vs. Present. What would happen if two drivers from different eras competed against each other in a match race? In car #1 we have David Gilliland, a driver who captured the hearts of millions in the Busch Series, but has gone through trying times as of late. In car #2 we have Ricky Rudd, famous for taping his eyes open.
(shots of Ricky's car slipping past David's on the final lap)
Bill Elliott's Fast Tracks says...Rudd would be triumphant.
(cut to shot of Ricky Rudd, talking with former crew chief Fatback McSwain in the old RPM garage)
Rudd: I think there's still some cars...in the back
McSwain: What back? Mine? 'Cause I'm on Atkins...again.
Rudd: Out here.
(cut to Rudd fixing up an old orange "10" car)
Rudd: I think I wanna, you know, race--nothing big, just local stuff.
McSwain: What--you want to start ANOTHER consecutive races streak?
(cut to Ricky and Robert Yates in a restaurant)
Yates: You know, we have a sponsor in place for the 38 car. Or is it the 28? Ah, who the hell cares, I'm going chapter 11 in a week. Anyways, when David Gilliland heard that you were interested in racing again, he though, why not put something together?
Rudd: Hey, I ain't interested in getting mangled and embarrassed...again.
Yates: That computer race got a lot of people curious. AW COME ON, DON'T MAKE ME HAVE TO CALL ERNIE IRVAN!
(cut to Ricky on his palatial estate in Virginia)
Ward Burton: An it dussint mattah how it looks to utha peepull--drivahs drive. Hey, do you needa watah heatah?
(cut to Ricky on a random, non-Nascar affiliated test track)
Doug Yates: To race again, you need speed, and we don't got it. We've got Fords in our garages, so aerodynamics are out. So what WE'LL be counting on is BLUNT FORCE TRAUMA. Pretty much running like a Bodine crossed with Robby Gordon. Now lets start buildin' some hurtin' cars.
Movie Trailer Guy: The subject of the greatest Mitch Hedberg joke of all time...is back for one final year (we think). Ricky Rudd is...Ricky Balboa.
Ricky: You ain't out of the race till you get black flagged.
David Gilliland: Who said that?
Ricky: A real champion. Bill Champion.
MTG: Rated R for graphic nudity. In theaters this Boxing Day.
