Summary
NASCAR racing isn't just about driving fast. 42 cars fighting to move up, lap after lap, inside, outside, inches apart, but never touching.
It's also about being able to undo all of your safety restraints, shut off all of your systems, and GET OUT when your car erupts into flames.

Summary
He swallowed thickly, “That’s, erm, that’s–”
When he couldn’t get the words out, Doc frowned but not unkindly as he gently placed the box down. “Son,” that nickname had certainly taken Lightning some time to get used to. Even now, it made him feel fuzzy; the warmth that bloomed each time Doc used it gave Lightning a sense of belonging, “if you don’t want to talk about it, that’s okay.”
“No, no, it’s fine, it’s just,” he bit his lip, worked the skin between his teeth before finally admitting the truth, albeit very quietly, “my mom’s ashes are in there.”
