Before Speed, there was Pops. From hot-rod racer to new father, Pops’ grease-stained hands built the Racer family legacy through triumph, tragedy, and invention. Witness the origins of the Auto Jacks, the heartbreak of Rex, and the lessons that shaped Speed’s future in this heartfelt, high-octane one-shot!

Also featuring a Dante Ferno story where he pays the price for total domination!
