  Season 2, Episode 19. hide show

  Nathan's Uncle Cooper comes to town to take Nathan and Lucas on a racing trip. On the track, the Scott brothers are challenged to a race by the beautiful Daytona and her smart aleck brother Jarret, but things go horribly wrong when Nathan loses control of his car and crashes into a wall. Meanwhile, Deb's addiction to pain pills intensifies, and Dan exposes Andy's relationship with Karen to his class. Rawr to Cooper and Nathan talking about Nathan's package. Haha. The dance scene was a little out there... Good song, though. Mouth was such a gentleman to Erica. I like how they're befriending Erica. Good episode.

  Nathan's Uncle Cooper (Deb's younger brother) comes into town to take Nathan and Lucas on a racing trip. On the track, Nathan and Lucas are challenged to a race by the beautiful Daytona and her smart aleck brother Jarret, but things go horribly wrong when Nathan loses control of his car and crashes into a wall. Meanwhile, Deb's addiction to pain pills intensifies and Dan exposes Andy's relationship with Karen to his class. This episode is named after an album and the lyrics from a song by Bright Eyes. Start you engines. Nathan's Uncle Cooper takes Nathan and Lucas out of town for somoe lessons in professional racecar driving. But the fun turns tragic when Nathan crashes..Maybe on purpose. What can I say about this episode? Another great episode. I love One Tree Hill, the writers have done so well, on making it an awesome show. I really really enjoyed this episode, it was so nerve wrackig when Nathan was speeding around.

  Crash! hide show

  Cooper, Nathan's uncle on Deb's side, pays him a visit. He invites him and Lucas to the NASCAR race track with him. Dan gets back at Andy by revealing to his business class that he and Karen are dating. Andy has a choice, to leave the job or leave Karen. He chooses to stay with Karen! At Tric, Karen, Peyton, Brooke and Deb dance and Deb drinks a lot. Brooke takes her home, but Deb crashes on the lawn. Brooke picks up Mouth, who pretends to be drunk, just to hang out with her. They then pick up Erica, who walks home with Mouth. They kiss and Mouth is ecstatic! Deb's addiction to the pills is revealed at the hospital. At the track, Nathan, Lucas, Daytona (Nathan's childhood friend) and Cooper race. After Nathan loses, he starts thinking about Haley and he goes above the speed limit. He crashes into the wall and is taken to the hospital. Nathan tells Lucas not to tell Haley.
  
  This was a great episode! It was really sad when Nathan crashed. I think he did it on purpose. I loved Mouth's expression after Erica kissed him! He is so cool! This episode gets a 10 out of 10 from me!

  Nathan and Lucas leave town with Nathan's uncle. hide show

  I really liked this episode who knew that Nathan had a hot uncle and that he is a race car driver. I thought that it was funny that Cooper's crew cheif kids had racing themed names. I thought that it was cool seeing Nathan and Lucas in a race car but I wish that they kept Nathan out of it because looked what happened. I was really angry at Dan that he would go to Karen's class and start trouble with Andy by getting him fired from his job. I really liked seeing all of the Girls at Tric dancing and having a good time dispite what has been happening in their lives.

• When Nathan is looking for a little of that 200 MPH therapy and the images of Haley are flashing through his mind, it seems odd that he has a memory of Haley getting on the bus with Chris. He wasn't there when she left. [edit]
• When Peyton rips pages out of her address book Anna's address is reveald as 615 Lamplighter Way, Tree Nill, NC. Since Brooke lives next door, that means that her address must be 613 or 617 Lamplighter Way. [edit]
• After the girls are seen dancing at TRIC, we come to a shot of a car driving on a racetrack. A close-up reveals that the car is driven by Daytona, with Cooper and the Scott brothers riding passenger. As Daytona is talking about homeschooling, watch closely. When the camera is in front of the car, it can be clearly seen that they are actually in front of a green screen displaying a racetrack and not actually driving on a track. The clip can be seen here. [edit]

• Original International Air Dates:
  Turkey: October 26, 2006 on CNBC-e [edit]
• James (Nathan) & Stuart Lafferty (Jarret) are brothers in real life. [edit]
• Although credited, Craig Sheffer (Keith) doesn't appear in this episode. Also, Bethany Joy Lenz (Haley)) appears but doesn't have any lines. [edit]

• Lucas: Hey. I’m Lucas, Nathan’s brother.
  Jarret: So, like, your mom’s Cooper’s sister?
  Lucas: No, my mom slept with Cooper’s sister’s husband.
  Jarret: Okay. Whatever that means. Sounds messed up.
  Lucas: It is. [edit]
• Daytona: He would have turned left. Nathan's an athlete. His reflexes would have been to turn left. But he didn't. It was almost like... like he aimed for the wall, you know? Like he tried to crash. [edit]
• Whitey: Have you ever been to Florida, Peyton?
  Peyton: Once, with my dad.
  Whitey: There's a little town, just off the Gulf of Mexico. The weather's perfect year round, kind of like today. It's almost a paradise. It's a great place to raise a child. Or, if you're family, to protect one 'til her daddy can arrive. Jenny's fine, Peyton. Jake wanted you to know that.
  Peyton: I went by to see him this morning, and he told me he didn't want me to visit anymore. He said it was too hard.
  Whitey: I can understand that. I know you miss your mom, honey, just like I miss my wife. But think about Jake. He misses both women that he loves. [edit]

• Episode Title: I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning
  
  I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning is an album by Bright Eyes. The phrase is also included in the song Road To Joy, in that same album: "The sun came up with no conclusion/Flowers sleeping in their beds/This city's cemetery's humming/I'm wide-awake, it's morning". [edit]
