In the mid-season when Jackson Storm won at the Copper Canyon Speedway, he, Lightning and Cal we're surprised by his speed. When Lightning asks who he was, Bobby responded saying that was Jackson Storm. Interest and popularity in Next-Generation race cars rose since they had better achievements on the track racing.
