Okay. Focus. Speed. I am speed.

Racing day. Speed, agility, skill, reflex, and strategy were everything, especially in this race.

One winner, twelve losers. I eat losers for breakfast.

You had to be tough to even make it out alive in this race. As well as fed.

Breakfast. Man, I wish I'd gotten to have breakfast. A little could be good for me. Ugh! No, focus. Speed. I'm speed.

Someone knocked from outside the room where the racer was preparing.

"Yo, Ani! Time is money! Are you ready?" shouted a loud, bossy sounding male voice.

"Oh, yeah."

And here's where the rock music starts...

I'm American made, Bud Light, Chevrolet

My mama taught me wrong from right

I was born in the south

Sometimes I have a big mouth

When I see something that I don't like

Out from the trailer came a fancy-looking racing pod, and in that pod was a human driver. He was a very handsome young man with curly locks of sandy brown, gorgeous blue eyes and perfect teeth. His name was Anakin Skywalker, the Boonta Eve Cup's rookie sensation.

I gotta say it

We been driving this road

For a mightily long time

Payin' no mind to the signs

Well, this neighborhood's changed

It's all been rearranged

We left that change somewhere behind

Slow down, you're gonna crash

Baby you were screamin'

It's a blast, blast, blast

There were so many amazing looking pods, all of them ready to win and do whatever it took to do so, as in this particular race, anything goes. Anakin was no exception; he was ready to win, and he was a very skilled racer too. In fact, what made him so famous was that he was the only human who could race pods with such amazing reflexes, as well as get through unscathed.

Look out babe you got your blinders on

Everybody's lookin' for a way

To get real gone, real gone

Real gone

There's a new cat in town

He's got high paid friends

Thinks he's gonna change history

You think you know him so well

Yeah you think he's so swell

But he's just perpetuatin' prophecy

Come on now

Slow down, you're gonna crash

Baby you were screamin'

It's a blast, blast, blast
