raced

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'hurried' is the definition.
('race' can be a synonym of 'hurry')

'one spot in the road' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'one' could be 'ace' (ace has a value of one in some card games) and 'ace' is present in the answer.
'road' could be 'rd' (abbreviation) and 'rd' is present in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
