Elba also makes a pit stop in Detroit where racing legend Junior Johnson explains NASCAR’s origins.

Edwards gives the crew chief’s daughter Ashley (guest-star Spencer Grammer), who is an up-and-coming race car driver, tips about excelling on the track.

In the new episode entitled “Luck of The Half-Irish,” Keselowski plays himself and finally breaks his losing streak. Keselowski credits his big win to visiting his favorite bar, Sullivan & Son, and the establishment declares the bar stool he sat on before the race “lucky.” Keselowski first appeared on Sullivan & Son last season. He played himself and got into a fender bender with character Ok Cha (Jodi Long) when attempting to parallel park.
