Down and Derby is a 2005 comedy film about a Cub Scouts pinewood derby race.

The familyfriendly movie, which was released as Racing Ace outside the US and Canada, was filmed in and around St. George, Utah.

As a child, Phil Davis Greg Germann was able to outrun, outjump and outhit anyone in his class, until a kid from California, Ace Montana Marc Raymond, moved into town. Ever since then, Ace has been number one and Phil number two. Even in the culdesac where the four childhood friends and rivals Montana, Davis, Blaine Moosman Ross Brockley and Big Jimmy Scaldoni Perry Anzilotti live, the Montanas mailbox is 1, and the Davis mailbox is 2. After a basketball game where Phils sons team loses to Aces sons team, Phil realizes that the Davis familys secondplace status has passed on to the next generation.Phils wife Kim Lauren Holly, the den mother of the local Cub Scout pack, gives a pinewood derby kit to each of the Cub Scouts. Although the boys are supposed to make their own cars from the kits, with appropriate adult supervision, the four dads obsessively take over the project, totally excluding the boys. ........
