The journey started on the Blue Ridge Parkway which the presenters were told was the best road in the world. However, because of the speed limits they decided to abandon the road and decided to race on an old NASCAR track, North Wilkesboro Speedway, instead. Whilst racing Jeremy burned out his Mercedes tyres and because the SLS doesn't have a spare the mayor had to help him find new tyres. Richard and James decided to leave Jeremy behind and went to the hotel in Virginia. After failing to find any tyres that would fit the SLS Jeremy drove the rest of the way on ruined tyres.
