Chapter 11: Welcome to the Show

Applejack pulled her car into Victory Lane to the roar of applause from the people gathered there. She undid her restraints and, instead of climbing out onto the ground, she climbed up on top of the car. Hoofs raised in the air in victory, Applejack was suddenly showered in cider and confetti.

Jeff walked over and helped Applejack down, he was also the first one give her a big hug

"That was some of the best dang driving I've ever seen" said Jeff, tears of joy coming down his face

"Awww shucks thank ye kindly Jeff" Applejack said as she returned the hug

When Applejack finally realesed from Jeff's hug, she was bombarded by literally everyone else. Flash bulbs going off, interviews taking place, and finally she was handed the trophie for winning the Tryout Showdow.

Applejack finally made it home a good 2 hours after the race, due to the fact that every pony in Ponyville wanted her autograph. When Applejack walked into the kitchen of her family homestead she was met by Jeff, Dale Jr, Kasey, Jimmie and Rick Hendrick. They all had big smiles on

"Take a seat Applejack" said Rick, indicating to the chair directly across from the legendary team owner

Applejack sat down and noticed a document sitting on the table in front of Rick

"Applejack, I want to offer you a contract to drive the #25 Chevrolet SS for Hendrick Motor Spo-"

"DEAL!!! Where do a'he sign?" Said a very enthusiastic Applejack

Rick slid the paper over to Applejack and handed her a pen

"Right on the dotted line"

Applejack took the pen in her mouth and signed her signature along the bottom of the page. She was officially a NASCAR driver. As she was heading off to bed, she caught something out of the corner of her eye. When she turned to look it was Dale Sr, or his spirit. He smiled and gave Applejack a thumbs up, then he was gone.


The next morning, Applejack awoke to a very loud yet very familiar sound of a race car engine. She quickly jumped out of bed and grabbed her Stetson. She quickly ran over to her bedroom window and looked out to see a deep blue Chevrolet SS with the #25 along the sides and roof. It said "Pepsi" along the sides and on the hood

Before she knew it, Applejack was outside faster then Pinkie Pie on a sugar rush (and that's saying a lot)

The new car shined in the earily morning sun and Jeff was leaning against the car

"Here you go Applejack, your own race car"

Applejack was speechless until she was able to muster

"Thank you so much Jeff"

"Your welcome.mnow we need to get rolling. We need to be in Daytona Beach by day after tomorrow for speed weeks. I've got some tickets here for your family and friends"

Applejack took the tickets and, with a hoof written note, set them on the kitchen table.

When Applejack returned outside after gathering some of her belongings, she was amazed to see a BIG motor coach and 18 wheeler siting outside. The semi truck was the same color scheme as her car and it had a picture of her painted on the sides of the trailer with her name as well

"How do you like your RV?" said a man who Applejack did not know

"Oh sorry where are my manners. My names Steve LeTarte and I'm your new crew chief" said Steve

"Howdy there sugarcube, nice to met ya"

"Well we better get rolling"

With that Applejack climbed into her RV. It was very big on the inside and looked like the inside of Jeff's RV.

They started rolling and were quickly through the portal into the human world.
