What is Elbow Grease about?

Elbow Grease is the smallest of four monster-truck brothers, but he has plenty of determination. When the Monster Truck Grand Prix arrives, his bigger, faster brothers are sure they will win. Elbow Grease enters the race to show that size and horsepower are not everything. As the trucks roar around the track, he faces obstacles, unexpected challenges and plenty of doubt. Can this little truck keep going, trust himself and prove that courage, effort and a never-give-up attitude can take him across the finish line?
