NASCAR Team Mercer driver Kane Jackson is one of the best on the circuit and has a pretty good chance of winning the overall championship. However, in spite of his strong season, he is depressed because he made a monster mistake when he dumped his crew chief Lexie Mercer; not from the pit, but from the bedroom. He would give up racing if that would give him a second chance with her.

However, he has two major obstacles in his way to regain his beloved. First, her father, his boss, opposes their relationship out of fear that it will cost the team the championship; second, his father, a former NFL star does not think of NASCAR as a sport. Finally the biggest barrier is Lexie. Although she still loves Kane, she fears a personal relationship will hinder his chances at winning the championship.

This second-chance-at-love stars a superb lead couple who both want to get back together, but the NASCAR championship keeps them apart as each has reasons not to pursue the other. Fans will enjoy the antics of Kane and Lexie to keep their desires in second gear, but their hearts keep accelerating. Can they gain the checkered flag and each other, or will they have to choose between their second love NASCAR and their first love, one another?
