Blaze of Glory

"Blaze of Glory" is the first-ever episode of Blaze and the Monster Machines.
==Synopsis==
Blaze and AJ discover a city named Axle City and are introduced to the world of racing Monster Machines after getting diverted by falling rocks. But when a mean racer named Crusher sends Blaze and the other Monster Machines far away thanks to his Trouble Bubble Wand (meaning that Crusher is cheating to win the race), it's up to Blaze and AJ to find the Monster Machines (their new friends) and get back to the Monster Dome race just in time using Blaze's blazing speed engine before Crusher wins and get the Monster Machine World Championship trophy.
==Trivia==
*During the episode, Blaze saved his friends in this order: Stripes, Darington, Zeg, and Starla.
*To date, this is the only episode where It's Blaze is heard lyrically in the last scene and instrumentally in the credits.
*Due to some sort of unknown error, this episode accidentally premiered one hour early on Nickelodeon. At the time it was shown, PAW Patrol was supposed to be on the air. The show was then premiered again immediately after the first airing finished. No explanation has been given for this, so far.
*Even if Gabby knows Crusher and Pickle, Blaze and Crusher don't speak to each other until the race begins, and Blaze and Pickle don't interact at all.
*When aired in some countries outside the US (ie. Canada), the episode is split into two separate parts, with Bump giving a narration at the end of the first before the credits, and at the beginning of the second after the theme song.
*As Blaze helps the Monster Machines, he comes across various STEM concepts which will appear later on in the series; trajectory when helping Stripes (Cake-tastrophe!), force when stopping the mud balls and as weight when helping Darington (The Driving Force), acceleration when helping Zeg (Stuntmania!), a pulley that Starla uses to get out of the hole (Knighty Knights), and finally magnets when stopping Crusher's robot knights (The Mystery Bandit).
