EXT. COPPER CANYON SPEEDWAY INFIELD - NIGHT

THE QUEEN

'Xcuse me Lynda, may I have a word with our revered racer here. 

LYNDA 

Of course, dear. Lynda drives off. 

THE QUEEN 

So about that... what happened out there? 

STRIP 

Toni it was unbelievable, Luke's got an extra piston in 'em or somethin cause-

Toni cuts Strip off. 

THE QUEEN 

No no, I'm talking about you. 

STRIP 

Whattya mean? 

THE QUEEN 

I've been noticing the way you speak to your crew. To Luke. 

STRIP 

Toni they cost me the Piston Cup, again! 

THE QUEEN 

Look Strip, you got more talent in one lugnut than a lotta cars got in their whole body...but you're stupid. 

Strip did not expect to hear that. 

THE QUEEN (CONT'D) 

Kid, you have the ability to be the best of us. To win more Piston Cups than any of these guys today, even me. But your speed and talent won't get you there alone. This ain't a one man show, it takes a whole team to get there. You need to appreciate em. They're the ones who'll always have your back... Don't wait to be great Strip. Do the work to get there. Or you'll always regret what you could've been.
