* LoopholeAbuse: Right before Hank and his friends finish maintaining the football field before Arlen's big home game, Smitty gets a ride from some security guards and catches them doing his job, gets them ejected and thinks his plans to improve the field out loud, making it clear to Hank that he'll ruin the field again and force Arlen to forfeit the game again. However, since the rules say that unless an "act of God or vandalism" results in the field being unplayable, the home team is responsible for maintaining the field, Hank gets the idea to have Lucky taunt the other truck racers to follow him to the football field, where they naturally ruin it even more thoroughly and Arlen is allowed to play their home game at a different location without having to forfeit.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: If Hank and his friends didn't hype Smitty's skills so much for the work they themselves did, he wouldn't have gotten the idea that he had done it himself and tried to improve it with things that would just ruin it worse, forcing Hank to resort to drastic measures to prevent Arlen from being disqualified right before a big game.
