"Speakeasy Rider" is the ninth episode of the fifth season of the animated comedy series Bob's Burgers and the overall 76th episode, and is written by Rich Rinaldi and directed by Jennifer Coyle. It aired on Fox in the United States on January 11, 2015.
The Belcher children join the go-kart racing league, enrolling as "Team Belcher" in the novice B-League using a remodeled bumper car. Louise designates herself the go-kart driver, much to Tina's irritation. Meanwhile, Gene learns the art of waving racing flags from Old Gus. Louise turns out to be a poor driver, while Tina demonstrates surprising adeptness at it. When Louise reasserts herself as the team driver anyway, Tina decides to join another team, feeling that Louise cares more about being the driver than doing what is best for the team. Tina's driving skills get her scouted into one of the top teams in the A-League, Team KIS, led by Sasha. Their aim is to beat fellow A-League driver Bryce, who always takes first place and frequently bullies the other league racers, earning him the moniker "Not Nice Bryce". Tina leaving Team Belcher causes friction between her and Louise, leading Louise to swear that she will ascend through B-League to earn a spot in the final race of the season and beat both Tina and Bryce. Indeed, Louise manages to improve her racing enough to win B-League and earn a spot in the final race.
On the big day, Team Belcher's go-kart suffers a last-minute breakdown that requires a quick patch-up from Critter. As the race narrows to Louise, Tina, and Bryce (in the lead), Bryce rams Louise's go-kart, causing its patch-up to fall away. In retaliation for the attack on her sister, Tina rams Bryce's go-kart, causing him to fall behind. With the race now down to Tina and Louise, Louise's damaged go-kart begins to break down right before the finish line, eventually spinning out to a full stop. Though Sasha urges her to ignore her sister and claim victory, Tina declares her allegiance to Team Belcher and pulls her go-kart right behind Louise's, pushing her the rest of the way. The two reconcile and say the other deserves to win, though Louise is pushed through the finish line during their reconciliation, thus winning the race. Tina and Louise share their first-place trophy by sleeping in the same bed with it between them.
