In this episode of Doc McStuffins, Donny's favorite toy racecar, Ricardo, who typically wins every single race loses his first race after losing his speed. Ricardo is needed to race against Donny's friend Luca later on in a championship race, so it's up to Doc to figure out what's going on!
After a checkup, Doc finds out that Ricardo is out of energy and diagnoses him with "No-Vroom-Vroom-atosis". The solution? Getting some sleep, or in Ricardo's case, getting his batteries recharged.
Doc asks her dad to charge up Ricardo while Donny is napping and soon enough, he's ready to race again.
At the end of the episode, Ricardo manages to win the race against Luca, with Doc and Donny cheering on.
