I am really worried how Motorheads Season 2's cancelation leaves so many questions unattended 

Motorheads Season 2's abrupt cancellation has taken fans by surprise, and to be honest, it seems like a good story has gone in vain. I personally enjoyed watching the first season of the Prime Video sports drama that consistently maintained the tension till a cliffhanger finale.

Motorheads is a show that centers on a group of youngsters hailing from a town called Ironwood, a place with a history of cars and races, and the next generation keeps the tradition alive. However, the town was also afflicted with a tragedy years back, which eventually led to the legend of Christian Maddox, the currently MIA protagonist.

Yes, I firmly believe that Maddox is the main protagonist, and the way he drives the plot despite being absent in the present timeline is absolutely admirable. So, Motorheads Season 2's cancellation leaves his arc incomplete and the main question unanswered: Is he actually dead? Or did the call that Caitlyn gets in the Season 1 finale's closing sequence actually mean good news? It all remains in doubt.

Motorheads Season 2's cancellation breaks my heart, considering that so many plot points did not get creative closure

While John A. Norris' sports drama Motorheads does not have an established fan base (as it is a new franchise and not an adaptation), the RT numbers (in terms of critic and audience reviews) look quite promising. Moreover, the storyline is a pretty unique blend of high-school drama and racing track adrenaline, not to mention how it eventually switches to the tone of a mystery thriller.

So, in my honest opinion, Motorheads Season 2 would have been absolutely justified, and given the fact that the first chapter ends on a cliffhanger, I think there was all the more reason to make it happen. Now I am worried that we do not know so many things, especially after that intense Season 1 finale, where Ironwood, the entitled, popular, and rich kid, meets with an accident while racing against Zac, the rookie (also the son of racing legend Christian Maddox).

It leaves the whole Harris arc on a question mark, and I was kind of hoping that he would make it out alive. But the intensity of the accident definitely looked like bad news to the viewers.

Secondly, the mysterious call that Caitlyn gets from an unknown number located in Spider Lake is another major plot point that remains unattended. It also makes me ponder upon the postcards that Christian's brother, Logan, would often get from Spider Lake, and the fact that it led to a dead end for him is even more bothersome.

While all of this goes on, the backstory of the heist (from 17 years back) going wrong is still not fully clear. Moreover, Sam (Christian's wife) comes clean to Logan about her involvement in hiding the stolen money from the heist near the lake.

But at the end of Motorheads Season 1, when Logan and Sam go to the same spot to retrieve the cash from the heist, they find nothing but empty bags. This is another major question, which I feel needed to be addressed if Motorheads Season 2 had happened.

With all these things in mind, as a viewer, I feel the cancellation of the Prime Video drama leaves the whole story hanging in the balance (which so far had the perfect buildup for a new chapter). I also believe that the show could have been the start of a big franchise with an out-of-the-box plot, aspiring new faces in the cast, and on-point storytelling.
