2026 Moonshine 400

[Skipper Duke]

"Hello Garrett!" (Waves at him.) "This interesting since we both have Mustangs." With that, puts the hammer down and races after Garrett to get the lead back again.

[Garrett Duke]

Garrett just nods at him as he stares at the road ahead. Looking back in his rearview mirror he sees everyone getting closer as he fights with Skipper.  Looking back at Skipper he is impressed by the manpower and speed of his car.  But what everyone doesn't know, is that he has a souped up Jeff Gordon engine under his hood. The same engine that brought Jeff Gordon to the checkered flag and championships many times.  "See ya later," Garrett shouts at Skipper as he presses the accelerator to the floor and Spittin' Cobra flies ahead and Garrett cuts Skipper off again before rushing ahead. 

[Hobie Hartkins]

Hobie just got back in the action after a delayed pit stop! He knows the Moonshine Mauler has the power to out run everyone but he's not sure when to make his move!  He just gets on the straightway of the track and puts his heel to the steel!  He's passing all kinds of racers.....he still hasn't seen  Meadow or Daisy yet!

After pulling out the pin that disconnected the Minnow, the tongue of the trailer dug into the dirt and stopped the trailer/Minnow in it's tracks. Jesse's dirt bike launched into the air like a catapult, right over the creek. With the new coconut fuel in his tank Jesse knew he would catch the rest of the group soon.

He looked in his mirror at the Minnow and trailer on the other side of the creek and figured Skipper would miss it....but also thought Skipper would forgive him since Ford Mustangs are much faster when they aren't pulling yachts. 

As he watched the stuck trailer and yacht get smaller and smaller in his mirror Jesse couldn't resist singing...."The Minnow would be lost. The Minnow would be lost."

Skipper catches up to Jesse after jumping Dry Creek, and fighting with Garrett.

Jesse had a surge of power from the motorcycle and an even stronger surge of confidence. After taking the lead he stretched that lead out so far between him and second place that he looked in his mirror and couldn't even tell who was in second since they were so far back. He smiled. It should be easy from here he reckoned. He had first place in the bag at this rate. He smiled. 

Then the old moonshiner smelled something. And it wasn't the coconut shine he had spilled when he was filling his tank on the bow of the Minnow. It was smoke. He looked down and noticed his alternator was on fire. Or was it a magneto? He wasn't sure... but he knew he had problems. Two gallons of moonshine between his legs with a small fire underneath it was not a good combo. He hit the brakes, pulled over, took his helmet off, grabbed his red hat that was underneath it and smacked the fire with his hat until it went out. Back to last place for Jesse. He tried to kick start the dirt bike but no luck.

several people on the sidelines are smelling the unmistakable  smell of Homemade  Hooch! Hobie's engine is cranked to the max as he brings  it around the curve and into the next straightaway!  He's burning Shine like it was water and blowing by everybody!

What Uncle Jesse doesn't know, is the Skipper had backup moonshine with him inside the car. 2 jugs of Mr. Thurston Howell III's famous Brandy Peaches. He converted this to Moonshine and supplied the Skipper with this backup fuel in case someone decided to steal the Professor's Coconut Shine.
