Plot

West Virginian Jimmy Logan is laid off from his construction job in the tunnels underneath the Charlotte Motor Speedway for failing to inform the manager about his leg injuries during his football career in high school. He is close to his daughter Sadie, who lives with her mom Bobbie Jo, and Bobbie Jo's wealthy husband Moody. Sadie performs in beauty pageants, and Jimmy's hair stylist sister Mellie, does her hair. Bobbie Jo and Moody plan on moving to Lynchburg as he plans to open up a new car dealership.

Jimmy goes to a bar tended by his ex-soldier brother Clyde, who lost his lower arm while he was a soldier in the Iraq War. Max Chilblain, a pretentious NASCAR team owner, makes fun of Clyde's disability, leading to a fight with Jimmy, while Clyde sets fire to Max's car. The next day, Jimmy tells Clyde his plan to rob the Speedway, exploiting his knowledge of its underground pneumatic tube system for moving its vast amount of cash.
