Fastest Cars in the Dirty South

Eric Malone and Team 256 step up to the plate to back local racer Malcolm Storey and his Storey Racing team. Storey's in over his head with the 442 team and a new car named Riley. Meanwhile Arnold gets baited into a grudge match trap. He takes a rusty broken Vega from James Rowlette to upgrade and go "heads up" against Rowlette's champion Mustang. Team 256 drops everything when Kenny Ford, the Godfather of Drag racing, brings his daughter's Gold Camaro to the garage. It's in need of serious work to make the car safe to compete in the upcoming "Lights Out" race in Valdosta Georgia.

Eric Malone has a grudge to pick with Jeff Hunt and his team in Tupelo, Mississippi. Malone thinks he can make their slowest car, "The First 48", outrun Hunt's fastest car "Homicide." But when Brant spots the motor sitting in the back of the garage he fears bad things. Making matters worse "Riley", Malcolm Storey's new car, shows signs of trouble that have Team 256 wishing they buried this car.

Tension is high while Team 256 scrambles to come up with a plan for James Rowlette's Vega. Meanwhile the race between the 442 and "Riley", Malcolm Storey's Grand Prix, is approaching. Will Eric and Brant's efforts be enough to beat 442 for $10,000?

Team 256 is challenged with whipping Kenny Ford's old Dodge Dart into shape in time for Radial Fest, Alabama's biggest street car race. They tangle with the Big Slick team and their champion Mopar and end up with an even bigger problem on their hands.

Why stop with one Malibu when you can have two? Last racing season, Team 256 took Malcolm Storey's Malibu and made the Black Mamba. Eric and Brant came across another Malibu they can build into a twin G-body and want to see which of the two is faster.

Eric has been called to rescue a 2006 Mustang that was top of the line in its heyday but has been sitting in a garage for a decade since. Brant wants help with his new Camaro, but the use of resources with the Vega race approaching has priorities split.

While Team 256 works tirelessly to build a Vega from stock Brant has taken his new Camaro to his own shop. Tensions between Eric and Brant are running hot and have the team fractured. Will they find a way to make amends and bring the team back together? A big race coming up with the whole team will give them a chance to reconnect.

The freshly painted Vega is finally ready for testing, but they need to get it down the track in under five seconds to beat rival James Rowlette and his "Boost of Burden Mustang". The teams have agreed to go head-to-head to see who takes the new Vega.
