Summary
Ricky Bobby (Will Ferrel) is a sensational NASCAR race car driver who dominates every race together with his childhood friend Cal Naughton Jr. (John C. Reilly) who always ends up at the # 2 position. When a French race car driver, Jean Girard (Sacha Baron Cohen), challenges him for the # 1 spot, he is put to test. He eventually gets in an accident and enters a state of depression, leaves professional racing, moves back in with his mother and becomes a pizza delivery guy. By chance, one night he meets his old assistant, Susan (Amy Smart), and the two have a drink together.
When Ricky Bobby tells her he doesn't want to race professionally anymore, Susan loses it and tells him why he should go back being a professional driver, "Ricky Bobby is not a thinker, he is a driver, he is a doer!...."

| SUSAN: "You know what, Ricky? I've kept my mouth shut for a really, really long time. And I just don't think that I can keep it shut anymore. And I just have to tell you that I think you are making a big mistake. Why is it that you always fall for people who leave you? Have you noticed that? Like Carley and your dad and your sponsors. And you always have to prove yourself. Why? Do you wanna know why I think that you should race again? It's because it's what you love, Ricky. It is who you were born to be. And here you sit, thinking. Well, Ricky Bobby is not a thinker, Ricky Bobby is a driver. He is a doer. And that's what you need to do. You don't need to think, you need to drive, you need speed....."
