Little Fauss and Big Halsey are not your father's heroes.
Little Fauss, an amateur motorcycle racer, meets Halsy Knox, a professional racer, after a race held near Phoenix, Arizona. Fauss is attracted to Halsy's carefree lifestyle, but Fauss's father regards Halsy as a bad influence on his son and refuses to help Halsy when his truck breaks down. Later, Halsy arrives at the motorcycle repair shop where Fauss works and tricks the admiring Fauss into repairing his motorcycle free. Halsy, who has been barred from racing for drinking on the track, proposes that they form a partnership in which Halsy would race under Fauss's name with Fauss functioning as the mechanic. Despite his parents' disapproval, Fauss joins Halsy on the racing circuit. He is constantly faced with his inferiority to Halsy, both on and off the racetrack. Their partnership is finally broken when Rita Nebraska, a drop-out from a wealthy background, arrives at the racetrack and immediately attaches herself to Halsy, despite the attention Fauss pays her. After breaking his leg in a motorcycle race, Fauss returns home to his parents. Several months later, when his leg has mended, Halsy visits him and attempts to leave behind Rita, who is now pregnant, but Fauss refuses to take her. He tells Halsy that he plans to reenter the racing circuit. A short time later, the two men race against each other at the Sears Point International Raceway; Halsy's motorcycle breaks down, and as he leaves the track, he hears the announcement that Fauss has taken the lead.
