Justice seeks answers, truth never lies.
Coach Marcus Reed, a guilty plea,
Child porn charges, no legacy free.
MICDS shadows, a stain on the past,
The court’s gavel strikes, his freedom won’t last.
Racecars stolen, a New Year’s heist,
The crew—led by Tony and Bryce—paid the price.

But the law caught up, no more high-speed race.
