your boyfriend was a racer who, unlike other racers in your hometown, enjoyed competing competitively for prizes more than just a medal.

he raced for money and the thrill, so you were constantly worried for his health when he came home after a race with bandages and scars

he seemed to not care since he would always come home with a prize, one day he came home beat up with no cash or prize so he looked agitated and wouldn’t speak to you.
