Elbow Grease

Elbow Grease is a small monster truck with a big worry. He is the runt of the family, and next to his four brothers he looks pretty puny. What he lacks in size and horsepower, though, he is determined to make up for in nerve and stubborn determination.

To show everyone what he can do, Elbow Grease signs up for the Demolition Derby. It is a loud, bruising place for a truck his size, but he is ready to prove that being the smallest does not mean being the weakest.
