TBA Career Wins

**Speedy Comet** is a professional race car who competed in the Piston Cup Racing Series, for Blinkr from 2008 to 2016. However, once next-generation racers began to garner attention for their unmatched speed and ability, Blinkr fired Speedy and replaced him with Ryan Laney, who was one of the first six next-gen rookies after Jackson Storm won the 2016 Dinoco 400.

Speedy is a quiet, calm car who is very smart.

## Career

### 2008

His rookie year was in 2008. He was not Rookie of the Year because Bobby Swift was given the award.

### 2015-2016

#### Comet Roadtesta incident

At the 2015 Gasprin 350, Comet would have a feud with Bobby Roadtesta. During the race, Roadtesta and Comet were battling for the 6th position, however Roadtesta would run Comet up the track. Comet and Roadtesta would spin out of turn 4 and spin though the front straightway. Following the race, Comet's pitties threw tires at Roadtesta's hauler. The pitties from Roadtesta would respond later by throwing a fuel can at crew chief, Jeremy Beltins. Following this, both teams were given a $2,000 fine and were docked 100 points following the incident. The incident was also the reasons to why Comet and Roadtesta placed very low in points at season's end, and played a factor in Speedy's firing the next year.

Speedy had no wins in 2016, his closest race being the 2016 Dinoco Light 350 in which he was passed by 4 racers on the last lap, missing out on the win. He was fired early after the Dinoco 400 and replaced by Ryan Laney.
