* GoneHorriblyWrong: A few of Dracula's and the Hunch Bunch's attempts to stop Shaggy and Scooby in the race. The aforementioned spider web is one, where Shaggy is warned of it by Googie and stops before he can reach it. The other cars drive into it and are propelled backwards through the air, causing a massive crash. The attempt to stop them with a man-eating plant also goes badly wrong, as Crunch pouts water on the seeds far too soon, and the plant attacks Dracula, who was unable to escape in time.

We open up to Tyler County, USA, where the narrator introduces us to our heroes; Shaggy has become a race car driver, with Scooby and Scrappy as his on-board mechanics, cheered on by his [[SatelliteCharacter "adoring but liberated girlfriend"]] Googie.

But this happy scene can't last as we shift to darkest Transylvania, where Count {{Dracula}} is holding a meeting of monsters at his castle. It's time to decide the Monster of the Year, but the {{Werewolf}} is absent, having gone into retirement. With one of the most iconic monsters AWOL, Dracula is about to call the contest off until he learns of a special night--three of them--when the moon comes into position to make a ''new'' werewolf. Unfortunately, that new werewolf is none other than Shaggy!
