Camber Berkley, a young stock car driver, wrecks his car on a winding mountain road, landing in the midst of the funeral of a deceased NASCAR fan. As punishment for his spectacular car wreck, the local authorities of the small Tennessee town of Judas Grove give him a serve months in jail for reckless driving, or spend two weeks teaching the local ministers to drive stock cars, so that they can compete in a race whose prize is the $2 million legacy left by that NASCAR fan.
