Hurtling down the track, careening
around, over and through the competition, Speed
Racer is a natural behind the wheel. Born to race
cars, Speed is aggressive, instinctive and, most
of all, fearless. His only real competition is the
memory of the brother he idolized--the legendary
Rex Racer--whose death in a race has left behind
a legacy that Speed is driven to fulfill. Speed
is loyal to the family racing business, led by his
father, Pops Racer, the designer of Speed’s
thundering Mach 5. When Speed turns down a lucrative
and tempting offer from Royalton Industries, he
not only infuriates the company’s maniacal
owner but uncovers a terrible secret--some of the
biggest races are being fixed by a handful of ruthless
moguls who manipulate the top drivers to boost profits.
If Speed won’t drive for Royalton, Royalton
will see to it that the Mach 5 never crosses another
finish line. The only way for Speed to save his
family’s business and the sport he loves is
to beat Royalton at his own game. With the support
of his family and his loyal girlfriend, Trixie,
Speed teams with his one-time rival--the mysterious
Racer X--to win the race that had taken his brother’s
life: the death-defying, cross-country rally known
as The Crucible.
