The story
Junior Jackson is a restless young man who finds himself the family breadwinner when his father, a career moonshiner, is arrested and sentenced to one-year imprisonment.
Junior is an outstanding driver, so he enters a demolition derby promoted by Hackel, the owner of the local racing track, hoping to win the prize money.
Junior does well in it and subsequent higher level races, which inspires him to enter the main race at the next top tier event.
