Synopsis for "The Diesel of Doom!"
Johnny Blaze was knocked off of the road of an unfamiliar countryside by a truck before the Ghost Rider saved him. Then, Johnny found a message from a man named Clement to all bikers to stay off "his road or else" before he met a young man named Mitch. When four bikers attempted to abduct Mitch and hold him for ransom, Johnny transformed into Ghost Rider and defeated them before two bikers dressed up as policemen knocked him unconscious before taking Mitch with them.
When Johnny woke up, Clem Barstow, the driver of the truck who knocked him off of the road earlier stopped by and drove him to a hunting lodge where the bikers were holding Mitch, although Johnny wondered why the songs and commercials on the radio were from thirty years earlier. Ghost Rider crashed into the lodge and burned the bikers before Clem had them get inside of his truck. Clem claimed that he couldn't give Johnny and Mitch another ride because the sun was coming up. When the sun came up, Clem's truck faded away.
An hour later, Johnny and Mitch stopped by a gas station where a man told them about how a diesel trucker named Clement Barstow was clubbed to death by a gang of outlaw bikers thirty years earlier and about legends of Clem still riding his trucks, helping good people, and sending bikers to an early Doom.
