Synopsis
Lamar heads to his room after school and attends Ezekiel Palmer's race starting at Moose Store miles away. He leaves home early to head down to the Moose Store and parks in the store's parking lot, but he is in need of car oil so he heads into the store to look for oil. He begins to realize that the store is very unorganized and it is run by snobbish, unhelpful, and lazy teenagers who do not know how to organize shelves. Growing irritable and frustrated, Lamar leaves the store, but one of the store managers approaches him and gets him the oil, to which Lamar snatches and leaves the store angrily.

He eventually gets greeted upon by the store owner, who realizes that something is wrong and attempts to resolve any negative experiences Lamar experienced, and after being told what happened, the owner immediately confronts the store managers and tells them that they need to do better or they would be fired. Lamar goes back to pay for his bottle of oil and proceeds to put oil in his car and is still able to get to his truck just in time for the race.

Kirti Mang pulls up into the parking lot after seeing Lamar and warns that he only has 30 minutes before the race starts and Ezekiel already pulled out of his driveway to begin.

Trivia

 * The security vehicles at the Moose Store are retired Ford Crown Victoria police vehicles that were fitted with green and amber lights instead of red and blue.
