Ah, yes, "The Man on the Lam", featuring fugitive Lawton Lamster I love the really obvious free-association Peter Fernandez went through to make the dub character names

The girl whose brother needs to win the race to pay for her operation (Hap Hazard and his sister Eloise Hazard) didn't have anything wrong with her eyesight, her condition just seemed to make her weak and prone to suddenly fainting at dramatic moments

They were probably conflated in fandom because of the much more famous instance of this trope, Yu-Gi-Oh!'s Joey Wheeler and his sister Serenity with the slowly degenerating eyesight we keep hearing about

Yugi, like Speed Racer, refuses to just let Joey win despite his dire financial circumstances But unlike Speed Racer he does give Joey the prize money afterwards, which is why everyone misremembers that as the outcome of this Speed Racer episode

(Speed is not nearly so gracious, Hap Hazard ends up getting the money because Trixie gives him Speed's pineapple It's complicated)
