The number 17 car pulls into the pit road before coming to its pit stop.

"Jack, you realize you got this in the bag, right?" Buddy Hubbard asks Jack Toretto as he unclips the net on Jack's window. Jack takes the water that Buddy offers him. "Season's wrapped up, man. Doesn't matter where you place."

"I'm telling you, I got intermittent miss," Jack says as he hands the water back to Buddy. "Last two laps."

"On it!" Buddy says before turning to one of the pit crew members. "Get those plug wires!"

"Jakob! Now," Jack yells at his youngest son, who happens to be the crew member that Buddy was yelling at. Jakob nods before raising the hood of the car as Dominic, Jack's oldest son, rushes over.

"Hey, Pop," Dom says as he leans against the window.

"Tell me what you see Dom," Jack orders as he looks at his son proudly.

"Got an oil spill going into turn two," Dom explains as he begins to list everything that he has seen. "Bell's driving safe. Corbin's got a sponsor in the stands, so he's pushing it. You got a real problem with car 23."

"Linder," Jack says with a nod as he has seen it too. Dom begins to argue with Linder's crew, who are two spaces back. "Hey! Leave it. He's just pissed because I got that spot in the Busch Series next season, not him. Life's got no shortage of guys like Kenny Linder."

"You're good!" Jakob tells him as he closes the hood before patting it.

"It's not about being the stronger man, Dom," Jack advises his son, who is clipping the net back. "It's about being the bigger one." Jack takes off back onto the track. Linder follows behind him before bumping into the back of another car.

"I swear to god, this guy," Dom says as he shakes his head while watching the race. "Pop, turn two, turn two!"

"Got it. I'm walking him in," Jack says as he drives high on the track. Jack quickly drops lower on the track as he sees the oil spill that Dom had mentioned, causing Linder to drive into it which causes him to slightly lose control and bump into the wall. "Tell me what you see, Dom." Dom quickly moves to where he can see the rest of the track.

"He's gonna come at you for that," Dom says as he keeps looking between his dad and Linder. "Get ready on your left." Linder drops to Jack's left while Jack looks down at his dash as it begins to make noise. Linder bumps into Jack, causing his car to turn before connecting with the wall as it catches fire. The rolls as it is hit by another car while Dom rips his headset off before running towards the track with Buddy right behind him. "That's my dad! That's my dad!" Dom yells as Buddy holds him back.

"He's gone! He's gone!" Buddy says as he looks at the burning car in shock.

"We got to get him out of there," Dom says as he fights against Buddy while Jakob stares at the burning car, wondering if it was his fault. "We got to get him out of there! That's my dad! That's my dad! That's my dad! That's my dad! Get him out of there! That's my dad!"

PRESENT DAY

"Three-eighths ratchet," Dom tells his son as they work on a tractor. Brian, his son, hands him a ratchet. "Three-eighths driver. Six-inch extension." Little Brian grabs a tool as Dom turns to look at him. "Are you sure?" Dom smiles as Little Brian puts the tool back before grabbing the correct one. Little Brian nods with a smile as Dom fits the driver to the ratchet. "Remember what your daddy told you. Be precise in life. It can make all the difference. Now, watch this." Natalie walks outside as she wipes her hands before walking towards Dom and Little Brian. "See how it's working now? And you see what's happening?"

"It's turning the screw," Little Brian says with a nod.

"You're right," Dom says with a smile while Natalie watches them with a smile of her own.

"Water heater's out again," Natalie tells Dom with a sigh as he turns to look at her.

"It's the price we pay for peace and quiet," Dom says with a smile, causing Natalie to shake her head with a smile. "Want to come and give us a hand?" Natalie goes to walk over to him but stops as they hear a car engine before they see a car. "Are you expecting someone?" Natalie looks at Dom before shaking her head no.
"Brian, remember what we practiced," Dom says as he looks down at his son.

Little Brian runs into the garage before pulling on a rope that opens a box in the ground. Little Brian gets inside before pulling the lid of the box down, causing Natalie to frown because her son should not have to do that. Dom opens the gun cabinet inside the garage before handing Natalie a handgun and grabbing himself a shot gun. Dom walks out of the garage, pumping the shot gun as he points it at the car.

"Yo, yo!" Roman yells from the car as Tej, who is driving, comes to a stop. Roman puts his hands out the window in surrender. "We come in peace. We come in peace!" Dom lowers his gun as Roman opens the door before stepping out of the car with his hands in the shape of a heart. "It's me!" Dom looks at Natalie before they share a smirk. "Roman? Maybe you don't recognize me cause I've been tanning all week, bro." Roman rubs his face, causing Natalie and Dom to laugh.

"B, come out, son," Dom calls as Natalie tucks her gun into her waistband before Dom hands her his gun. Little Brian climbs out of the box as Natalie puts up the guns while Tej pulls up to the house.

"What you gonna do with that thing, man?" Roman asks as he climbs out of the car, followed by Ramsey and Letty. "What, you out here trying to kill elephants or something?"

"We would've called first," Ramsey says as she walks over to Natalie, giving her a hug.

"Except you actually need phones in order to get phone calls," Tej says as he walks around the car while Dom walks over with Little Brian holding his hand. Roman gives Natalie a hug as Ramsey steps back before Natalie playfully slaps Roman across the back of the head, causing him to glare at her. "You know that right?"

"Little B!" Letty says with a smile before giving him a hug.

"Hi!" Little Brian says with a smile. "Aunt Letty!"

"Wow. You're so big," Ramsey says with a smile as she waves at Little Brian while Letty and Natalie hug. "Hi."

"Now, I know you don't carpool," Dom says with a smile as he looks at Letty before looking at Tej, Ramsey, and Roman. "So what's up?"

 "So what's up?"
