As the race goes on, the Turtles realize that the hare is cheating and decide to intervene to help the tortoise.

The Turtles soon discover that the race is part of a larger scheme by an evil race promoter named Mr. Badger. Mr. Badger has been using the illegal races to make money and is now planning a big championship race. He wants the hare to win the race, and is willing to do whatever it takes to make sure that happens.

As the Turtles investigate further, they discover that Mr. Badger has been using a special potion to enhance the hare's speed. They also learn that the potion is dangerous and could cause the hare to become uncontrollably fast, putting himself and others in danger.
