The show featured three young sibling crime fighters called the Darretts, two of which were stunt drivers and were part of a secret government operation under the guise of the "Pole Position Stunt Show" that was run by their uncle. Pole Position itself seemed to be a way to disguise and protect top-secret scientific research. The youths inherited the role after their parents died in an unfortunate car accident. The team is equipped with two high-tech talking vehicles named "Roadie" and "Wheels".

'''''Pole Position''''' is an animated cartoon series produced by Creator/DICEntertainment which aired on Creator/{{CBS}} in the 1980s. Although the cartoon shares its name with the videogame ''VideoGame/PolePosition'' by Namco, there is no other connection between the two entities. The name ''Pole Position'' is copyright of Namco and used under license, and DIC apparently ''really'' wanted to use that name. [[hottip:*:Not that the video game had any story to speak of.]]
