    ...But winning came at a price, as his radiator sprung a leak towards the end of his burnout and some strange sounds emanated from his drivetrain. Lee knows how to burn the skins!

    ...Brandon clinched the win with the mother of all burnouts after coming back from a catastrophic tire failure resulting in a gaping hole in the bed of his truck. Brandon promptly reduced his asking price on the for sale sign in the window and added "slight body damage" to the description.
