Summary
An "old friend" of Dean's calls the brothers about some suspicious car accidents in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. It turns out the old friend is Dean's ex-girlfriend Cassie, who dumped him when he revealed to her that he hunts supernatural phenomena. It seems that the car accident victims, all African American and one of whom was Cassie's father, are all being haunted by a phantom truck that is driving the victims off the road and causing them to crash without leaving any traces of itself behind.
After several more killings and Cassie herself being attacked, they find out that when her mother was young, she used to date a racist arsonist/murderer named Cyrus, and when she left him for Cassie's father, he attacked the father on the same stretch of road where today's victims were being killed. The fight turned against Cyrus when Cassie's father got the upper hand -- he ended up killing Cyrus and he and his friends dumped the body and the truck in the nearby lake. The ghost of Cyrus and his truck were now picking off all the people involved in the incident one by one.
Eventually, Dean and Sam dispatch the phantom truck by dragging it and its owner out of the lake, burning the body, and leading the ghost truck to the hallowed ground of an old church that incidentally Cyrus had burned to the ground during his racist reign of terror. Meanwhile, Dean and Cassie fight, reconcile, have hot sex, and break up again.

Quotes
Sam: You told her? The secret? Our big family rule number one: we do what we do, and we shut up about it. For a year and a half I do nothing but lie to Jessica, and you go out with this chick in Ohio a couple of times and you tell her everything? [Dean says nothing] Dean!
Dean: Yeah, looks like.
Dean: Don't leave the house. Cassie: Don't go getting all authoritative on me, I hate it. Dean: Don't leave the house, please?
Sam: (over a cellphone) Where are you? Dean: I'm in the middle of nowhere with a killer truck on my ass!
