Enrico is more excited by the race than the money, but falls asleep standing up in the hotel lobby, only waking hours later. He gets a ride from Zack, an ambulance driver delivering a transplant heart, who offers Enrico a lift in order to avoid a lawsuit from [[Gloria Allred]], who witnessed Zack hit him with his van. Enrico inadvertently drops the heart out of the window, whereupon it is stolen by a stray dog, which is then electrocuted on an [[electric fence]]. Deeming the heart unusable, Zack plans to kill Enrico, who has no family or friends, to replace the missing heart. However, Enrico escapes by jumping onto a passing train, where he drops his locker key in a baby's diaper and, while retrieving it, is mistaken for a pedophile by the parents. He is thrown out at Silver City Station and is the first to reach the locker, only to fall asleep before opening it.

The racers reunite in Silver City and fight to open the locker, only to find it empty. Outside, Sinclair's assistant Harold Grisham and call girl, Vicki, are making off with the money. The locksmith, still attached to the runaway balloon, suddenly appears and maneuvers it to drop the cow on Grisham and Vicki. He then ties the money bag to the balloon, but it accidentally slips out of his grip and into the sky. The racers chase the balloon to a [[Benefit concert|charity concert]] where [[Smash Mouth]] are performing, and the band and crowd mistake the money for a donation. Once the racers see what a global difference the money could make, they have a change of heart and decide to donate it all. Sinclair and his patrons arrive at the scene and Nick horrifies them by announcing they will match the money raised. Sinclair is distraught as the donations total shoots past $19 million, and the racers celebrate by dancing and [[Crowd surfing|crowd-surfing]] to "[[All Star (song)|All Star]]".
