2021 Florida 500 (Tyrannotitan's Universe)

The **2021 Florida 500** is the first race of the 2021 season and the first race for rookies Joel Carterson, Ace Cohen, Jet Simmons, Mindy Gearson, Henry Lugnut, Kevin Jacobson, Joey Pitcrews, Finn Lowtire, and Klint Shiftright Jr. Monty Piceski won the pole. There was a tribute for Dale Earnhardt because it was the 20th anniversary of the fatal crash of Dale Earnhardt in the 2001 Nightdona 500.

On lap 1 Jonas Carvers spun and collected Jim Reverick and Flip Dover causing the 3 to DNF and Cruz takes the lead. The race remained close and Monty takes the lead back on lap 27. on lap 33 of the race, Danny Swervez tried to overtake Cruz for 2nd but made contact with her on turn 4 and sent them both spinning into the field and causing the big one and ending up taking 13 other cars out of the race including rookies Finn Lowtire, Mindy Gearson, and Joey Pitcrews

Monty had a slow pitstop during the caution and fell back to 7th, causing Bubba Wheelhouse Jr to be the lead racer. Bubba kept the lead for 7 laps but tried too hard AND HIS ENGINE BLEW! This suddenly made J.P Drive the lead racer. On lap 97 of the race, Conrad Camber and Cam Spinner made contact and started another crash this one took out 6 cars including rookie Joel Carterson. On lap 108 and lap 130 Klint Shiftright Jr and Kevin Jacobson had their engines blown as well.

Not many cars remained which left only 15 cars in the race. Still, the competition stayed as close as ever and J.P Drive remained the lead racer. Suddenly on Lap 170, Paul Conrev took the lead. Leading only 6 laps, Paul Conrev explodes an engine and spins to the grass, he spins like a tornado. Rookie Henry Lugnut somehow found himself in 1st place in all this mess and once he realized immediately went faster to catch up with Dan Carcia, Barry, and Monty. Cruz and a few other racers even returned to the pits (the other racers out of the race were in the garage).

On lap 180 Monty Piceski overtook Chase Racelott for 4th place. J.P Drive got back the lead from Dan Carcia while Henry Lugnut, Chase Racelott, Monty Piceski, and Barry DePedal were all battling for the lead. On lap 182 Monty tried to overtake Henry but made contact with J.P both went to the grass but saved it but Monty fell back to 3rd and J.P to 2nd. Henry Lugnut then immediately overtook J.P and became the LEAD RACER!!!!! Everyone now was excited that a shock rookie win could happen.

On lap 183 Monty once again went ahead of Chase and J.P and went back to 3rd and was with Barry and Henry battling for the lead. Cruz, Danny, and Bubba arrived at the pits to cheer Monty. On lap 184 Monty overtook Henry and became 1st. Just Henry Lugnut was left for Barry Depedal but Henry would not give the 2nd place easily this was his best chance to place in 2nd in the Florida 500. Barry tried twice to overtake but Henry blocked both times.

On lap 193 Barry said on team radio that he was exhausted and would be unable to place in 2nd the Florida 500 but Cruz shouted on the radio "YOU CAN DO IT I KNOW YOU WILL PLACE IN 2ND THE FLORIDA 500". Barry tried one last time and on lap 196 got the 2nd place at last and used almost all of his fuel and power to stay in the 2nd, Monty still leads. On the final lap, Monty and Barry were fully exhausted and nearly out of fuel and were starting to fall back a little, but they stayed in the lead and 2nd. Finally, Monty won his first Florida 500.  Barry placed in 2nd. Monty and Barry were too exhausted to do donuts and interviews so they only did one with Shannon and tire-bumped each other.

It was an epic race with only 14 racers ending up finishing and several racers laps down
