This is the last miniseries episode where all the Monster Machines appear together until Robots to the Rescue in Season 4.
1,370 is the seventh highest number shown or mentioned on the show to date. It was surpassed by 1,500 in Super Wheels, 26000, 28000, 31000, and 42000 in Big Rig to the Rescue!, and 7 billion in Robots in Space.
The last episode to air in 2016.
Near-death experience: Starla and Zeg would've been killed had Blaze and Darington not grabbed them.
When re-released on Nickjr.com and the app in January 2019, the cliffhanger fade-outs were excluded.
This is one of the few episodes where the STEM concept is taught around the middle of the episode instead of some time after the travel song or the first scene of Crusher's subplot.
Running Gags[]
Every time Pickle interviews Crusher, he first asks two questions related to the race before asking a third related to Crusher and the elements. Crusher's response is always the same for all three, and after the third answer he ends up encountering difficulties in the ice and snow.

Goofs[]
Rally, Dash and Fender are shown competing in the race when it begins, but during the STEM song they were spectators.
During the travel song, Blaze uses Blazing Speed but in one scene, his engine is not out. He retracts it in the following shot.
When the STEM song begins and the Monster Machines enter a curve, AJ is missing.
The steel ball remains silver after Blaze melts it, akin to gallium. In real life, molten steel appears as glowing red/orange.
