What do you know about stock car racing?
Cole Trickle Well... watched it on television, of course.
You've seen it on television?
Cole Trickle ESPN. The coverage is excellent, you'd be surprised at how much you can pick up.
I'm sure I would.
All right. While we're still under a caution, I want you to go back out on that track and hit the pace car.
Cole Trickle Hit the pace car?
Hit the pace car.
Cole Trickle What for?
Because you've hit every other goddamned thing out there, I want you to be perfect.
Tell me what you love so much about racing.
Cole Trickle Speed. To be able to control it. To know that I can control something that's out of control.
Cole, you're wandering all over the track!
Cole Trickle Well, this son of a bitch just slammed into me!
No, no, he didn't bump you, he didn't nudge you, he didn't slam into you, he RUBBED you. And rubbin', son, is racin'. [Cole slams into the wall side-ways] Oh, there goes a fender. [Cole slams into another car] There goes a quarter-panel. [Cole slams into other cars and causes a multi-car crash; Harry just shakes his head in disbelief and face-palms]
