The story

Cru Jones is a teenage BMX racer who lives in a small town with his younger sister Wesley and their mother. Cru faces a tough decision: try to qualify for Helltrack or take the SAT, which is on the same day as the qualifying races. Winning Helltrack means $100,000, a new Chevrolet Corvette, and fame.
