Meet Parker Pace, the official pace car at Thunder Valley Speedway. Parker has always led the racers safely around the track, but deep down, he wonders what it would feel like to race for real.

​

When a real race car is suddenly sidelined, Parker gets the chance of a lifetime. With help from his friends, he discovers that courage is not about being the fastest right away — it is about showing up, giving your best, learning from the experience, and believing there is always another lap.
