...Tyrese Gibson), the neo-Nazi Pachenko (Max Ryan), an ex-NASCAR, now NAStyCAR driver named Travis (Justin Mader) and the martial-artistic 14K (Robin Shou). When they're not playing bumper cars, they're taunting one another or spitting in a rival's food - animals marking their turf. Each driver is given a navigator, a babe on loan from a nearby women's prison, and Ames's is Case (Natalie Martinez), who has pneumatic skills of her own.
