"That was a new record." Rick double-checked his timer, verifying he had the time correctly before recording it on their log. "But that was a dangerous run." His team captain told him, confirming that he beat his last record by a few seconds.
Lance removed his helmet from his head, taking deep breaths to inhale the fresh air. Letting his hair fly with the wind as he cleared his mind.
"I only did my job," Lance answered sarcastically, moving away from his car. But before he could get far, he turned to the crew. "I want the car ready to run in thirty minutes."
He stepped quickly away from his team to return to his locker room to refresh before his next run. But he could feel that Rick was not yet through with him as he followed him inside.
He nodded to the other drivers who he passed by on his way, congratulating him for a good run. Some of them might be envious of him, while others might hope he would mess up someday.
