== Million Dollar Death Race (July 29, 2022) ==
Michael Simone and Marlo Entertainment hosted a Death Race invitational on July 29, 2022, a marathon of a car race that lasted 51.12 miles. The competitors for the million dollar prize raced in armored Dominator cars with a front plow and detachable rear tombstone. But in a surprise "Death Race" twist, the competitors soon realized that their cars would explode if they didn't stay above a certain speed. A newcomer to the city named Peter Johnsen won the race and the million dollars.
== Five Million Dollar Death Race (June 24, 2023) ==
TJ Walker hosted the Death Race invitational on June 24, 2023. Nineteen competitors raced Apocalypse Issi vehicles with a front plow on a Sanguine Isle dirt track titled "Road to Redemption". Shinigami hunted the loser of each knockout lap with a car armed with mini-guns. Masked VIPs inside of the Diamond Casino and Resort were secretly invited to watch the race and place bets, but experienced technical difficulties. After Xavier Valentine led the first nine laps, the race paused to let the three racers behind him catch up. At the conclusion of the final four laps, Xavier won the Death Race, the five million dollar grand prize, and the vehicle he was racing in. Afterward, Shinigami finally blooded him out of Yokai by pressing her blade into his back.
Winner Xavier Valentine received his five million dollar Death Race prize in his bank account from Luciano DiCenzo on July 1, 2023 (Luciano DiCenzo was an escaped Death Race contestant who agreed to deposit and transfer the five million dollars from a set of briefcases in fear of his life). Two days later on July 3, 2023, someone named Shurai transferred an A+ boosting contract to Xavier for a 1-of-1, 2-seater armored Apocalypse Issi. In an effort to VIN scratch the slow Apocalypse Issi, Xavier drove getaway from a citywide police manhunt and Air-1, Claire Seducer hacked and gave comms, and Antonio Rodrigues, Mia Beyern, and Justin "Victor" Bridges supported. In addition to a front plow that could flip the police cars over, top-mounted machine guns, and flamethrower NOS, the spikes on the Apocalypse Issi punctured the tires of any cop trying to pit it. Xavier also discovered that the car could jump over highway barriers and PD spike strips. While exiting the highway, he swatted the police car of Officer Joel Garcia and Officer Lukas Lavender off the exit ramp. Unfortunately, Xavier didn't have a harness and flew out of the car from a botched jump to end the chase. The police cuffed him and Claire, and boxed the car in with armored PD vans. Afterward, Commissioner Sam Baas, MCU Director Brian Knight, and Sergeant Jerry Sweets interrogated Xavier and threatened to subpoena his financials. After giving $750,000 of the Death Race prize money to Pigeon, Xavier gave the remaining $4,250,000 in prize money to Claire to launder it.
As a result of the loose end of Death Race contestant Luciano DiCenzo escaping the island, Yokai kidnapped him to Dean Watson's basement. Marlo Stanfield went through his text messages and found out that Trey Romano helped him escape the island. Afterward, Shinigami shot Luciano with an RPG.
