Stroker is winning races under the Chicken Pit sponsorship and is in the running for the seasonending championship At the beginning of the final race Torkel is offered a deal to sell his franchise for a huge profit as part of an elaborate scheme that Stroker and his friends have concocted The catch is that if he wins the championship Stroker has to sell chicken for the next two years if he loses is he out of the contract
During the race Stroker is at odds with himself He drops back in the race in an effort to lose but his ego wont let him so he quickly begins moving back through the pack Torkel realizing that Stroker would rather lose than be bound by the contract makes a public announcement that he is releasing Stroker immediately He is unaware that Stroker is moving up through the field in an effort to win
