Redneck Texans compete to win a new pickup truck by seeing who can the last the longest without taking their hands off the truck. They get a break every hour, but it takes a huge physical and mental toll. After about 3 days, they begin to drop off leaving only two for the final few hours. Interviews with the participants are interspersed with the actual contest, and they are just as entertaining. One in particular ends up being a sort of philosopher-narrator, with "deep" insights into his strategy.
