Bio: Strip is a one time Piston Cup winner, and is the fastest racer on the track. He’s a family man, always bringing his wife Lynda and his father Lee to his races. The fans love him. Though, Strip struggles to be successful years after winning his first championship. His relationship with his crew is cordial at best. Distrustful of them, Strip believes he can reach glory all on his own, but talent alone won’t get him there.

EXT. OUTSIDE DRIVE-IN THEATRE - NIGHT 

STRIP 

Dang gun that was one good movie. 

CHICK 

(yawning)

Heck yeah it was. Alright, Strip I'm going to head back. 

STRIP 

Hold on partner, just one more thing. Let's go whizzing. 

CHICK 

Go what? 

STRIP 

You ever go full throttle down the road, wind in your face. It's pure bliss my friend. 

CHICK 

Sure, until you go 200 mph into traffic. 

STRIP 

No c'mon we'll take the backroads. 

CHICK 

I don't know Strip it seems a bit dangerous. 

STRIP 

Hmm, guess the rookie ain't as fast as he thinks.
