Uncle Grandpa proceeds to chuck the old tire out, Belly Bag tells Uncle Grandpa that he's going to sit this one out and Uncle Grandpa tells him that's a good idea, Uncle Grandpa then asks Belly Bag if he can hold onto his legs for him and Belly Bag eats his legs up.

The Race announcer is speaking through the microphone asking the audience if they're ready for one heck of a competition because he knows he is and unfortunately he'll be watching from the stands with the audience since he's turning duties over to Tiger and Belly Bag, and the announcer gets chucked out of the window.
