00:00Previously on The Great Eight.
00:04The top eight drivers in points battled it out in Virginia for $10,000
00:08and points towards the individual championship.
00:14Kayla Morton came in strong and looked like a favorite
00:16until she lost to Ryan Martin in the semifinals.
00:19And Ryan Martin turns off the wind light.
00:23Ryan Martin lost first year before the race against Kye.
00:26But it was Kye who broke on the starting line,
00:32giving the win to Ryan Martin,
00:33letting him earn 10 points and $10,000.
00:36And Ryan Martin will take that win.
00:40Kye Kelly's car shuts off right on .
00:44Just can't beat that son of a bitch, man.
00:46I got plenty of horsepower to whoop him now.
00:47I left on him.
00:48It's still off.
00:51But after a surprising invitation last week,
00:53there was a shakeup.
00:56Ryan Martin, looks like he shook the tires there early.
00:59Unable to recover.
01:00Ryan Martin fell out of the top eight
01:02and that made room for a few fresh faces.
01:06Hey, Kyle, hit it.
01:08Gets the win.
01:09Just got to rinse and repeat now.
01:10The current top eight in points will battle it out
01:12for that $10,000 and valuable points
01:15towards that individual championship.
01:22Welcome to No Prep Kings, baby.
01:26Hey, Brainerd International Raceway.
01:40How are you doing today?
01:43Nice.
01:44You see we have some drivers up here.
01:46These drivers are representing what we call the Great Eight.
01:49And what the Great Eight is.
01:52Basically, we take the top eight drivers
01:54from the invitational class
01:56and they are now a part of an individual championship.
02:00So they'll race for $10,000 tonight.
02:02And at the very end of the season,
02:04the person that has the most points in the Great Eight
02:06will win a $100,000 championship.
02:10Here's how it works.
02:11If you win the Great Eight, you get 10 points.
02:13Plus, you also get $10,000.
02:15If you runner-up, you get seven.
02:17And if you make it to the semifinals, you will get three.
02:21There are some new faces.
02:23I'm just going to go ahead and go through them real quick.
02:25First here to my left, Mr. Kyle Canyon.
02:28Kyle Canyon, running your first ever Great Eight.
02:31Also, Axeman.
02:33Axeman, running your first ever Great Eight.
02:37Then we have David Gates.
02:42Then we have Giuseppe.
02:45And Jim Howe, racing Grade Eight.
02:48Rookie of the year as far as I'm concerned right now.
02:50This guy went all the way to the finals last week in Virginia,
02:54Mr. Damon Merchant.
02:57And then we have Miss Lizzie Musi.
03:01And last but not least, the winner of Virginia last week,
03:05Mr. Kai Kelly.
03:07Now then, Kai.
03:11We had the Great Eight last week in Virginia.
03:13Ryan Martin won that.
03:15He has 10 points.
03:16You finish in second, right?
03:17Yep.
03:18Yeah, that happens.
03:19We've seen it before.
03:20But look, you've got seven points towards the Great Eight.
03:23Ryan Martin is not in this Great Eight tonight.
03:26So now this is your chance, man.
03:28Last week, Ryan beat Kai and won the Great Eight.
03:32But unfortunately, the following day, he lost to Robin in round one of the Invitational
03:36Race.
03:37And that knocked him out of the top eight in points.
03:40Look, that is an important note.
03:42If you want to stay in the Great Eight, you have to be ranked well in the Invitational
03:46standings.
03:47The points you earn for your team on Saturday also determine if you get to keep competing
03:52in that individual championship worth $100,000.
03:56You can't earn points if you're not in the race.
03:58All you have to do is win the first round of the Great Eight.
04:02That'll get you three points, right?
04:04Because the racers in the semifinals get three points, runner up seven, winner gets 10.
04:07So all you have to do is get past the first round and you're tied with Ryan.
04:11Now, if you win, oh my gosh, you've put so much space on Ryan.
04:15He's in your rearview mirror.
04:16So, Kai, real quick, what do you think about that?
04:18I'm just going to go ahead and win it, man.
04:20Ain't no sense in hanging back, tying up with him.
04:22Figured seven points between us is a lot.
04:24So I'm going to go ahead and handle it that way.
04:26Sounds good, man.
04:27You got enough silver medals at the house.
04:29We want to see you get some gold, man.
04:30All right.
04:31You know, I like how you're going to change it up because I'm going to be honest with you.
04:34Watching last season, you were always right behind them.
04:36We like it when we change stuff up, man.
04:38We want to see you in front.
04:39All right.
04:40Oh, here we go.
04:41You got more to say.
04:42Well, we was trying to build Ryan's brand last year, so I kind of done that for him.
04:45But this year is my year, man.
04:46Okay.
04:47You know what I'm saying?
04:48That's good, man.
04:49There will be four pairs in the first round.
04:51We will race all the way down until there is one driver left.
04:55They will win the 10,000.
04:57Where are my number ones at?
04:59It's going to be Jim Howe and Kyle Canyon.
05:03We drew Jim Howe, first pair.
05:05I've never raced him.
05:07I mean, he's the biggest, baddest wolf out here.
05:09I mean, he's pretty tough, so this is going to be interesting.
05:13All right.
05:14Number twos.
05:15Ooh.
05:16Kai Kelly and David Gates.
05:18Teammates.
05:19Oh, man.
05:20Round one, I drew David Gates.
05:21I know his car's fast.
05:22I know my car's fast.
05:23I think it's going to be decided on the tree.
05:25It's going to be a dogfight.
05:26Sucks to draw somebody like that first round, because I really feel like he's got the potential
05:30to win the whole deal.
05:31Number three is Axeman and Damon Merchant.
05:37Ooh.
05:38There's nobody you really want to draw, but, you know, I never got to race Axeman before.
05:43We drew his chip, and he's been making some killer passes.
05:46He's up there in points, but, you know, I'm just going to be up there, stage my car,
05:52hit the light, run my race, and, you know, put him on the trailer.
05:56Which means the fourth and final pair will be Giuseppe versus Lizzie Musi.
06:04We're in the grade eight.
06:05Couldn't be happier.
06:06We're having a good time out here.
06:08We drew Lizzie Musi, which she's always tough.
06:11I think her record going back when she first, I remember season three when she came out,
06:15we were doing good, and she took us out.
06:17So, I don't think I've ever beat Lizzie in an elimination round.
06:21So, for me, this would be a big win.
06:24So, go back to the pits.
06:25Get your cars turned around, because we are getting relatively close to going racing.
06:30All right?
06:31Got it?
06:32Know you're racing?
06:33All right.
06:34See you in a little bit.
06:35Hey, man, you need to come straight off the trailer.
06:36All right.
06:37I'm fine.
06:38Let's do it.
06:39No.
06:48You got how, right?
06:49Yeah.
06:50The guy that took our whole team out.
06:52Yeah.
06:53Our whole team.
06:54Did you hear that?
06:55The whole team in Virginia.
06:56Yeah.
06:57What would that be like for the new guy to come in here and take him out?
07:00I'm hoping he underestimates me and doesn't know what we're capable of.
07:03Yeah.
07:04To be honest with you.
07:05All you got to do is do it.
07:06Yeah.
07:07Just do it.
07:08I'm sure Chase has got one out for him.
07:10He's got it ready.
07:11Yeah.
07:11Because he took three of us out, so.
07:13Just do it.
07:14He knows what he's got to do to get around you.
07:15Yeah.
07:16Just do it.
07:16Do you.
07:17Run your race and turn the wind light on.
07:19Win the grade eight.
07:20You'll be up there with Ryan in points.
07:23You ready for invitation tomorrow?
07:24Yeah.
07:25Do it, man.
07:26I'll be up there.
07:27Yeah.
07:27We'll see you up there.
07:28Here at Brainerd, Minnesota, we get the opportunity to race in the grade eight.
07:32That's a big deal for me.
07:33Very big deal.
07:34Especially this early in the season.
07:35There's a lot of guys that would typically be in the grade eight that aren't in.
07:40So it's an entirely shaken up field right now.
07:43This is really going to size me up and see what I'm capable of, what the car is capable
07:47of.
07:48It's all a mental game.
07:49I've got to get my mind right.
07:50Let the car do its talking and hopefully get up there and get a clean light and see what
07:55happens.
07:56I'll see you on the other side.
07:57All right, buddy.
07:58Be safe.
07:59You too, okay?
08:00See you down there.
08:01Yep.
08:02I drew Kyle Cannon.
08:03I don't know much about Kyle.
08:04I know that he did pretty good in the Futures last year.
08:05Definitely not a slouch.
08:06And I mean, if he made it into the grade eight, he's certainly not a slouch.
08:07So we're first pair out.
08:08We're in the right lane.
08:09I feel pretty happy about what we've got to go.
08:11You know, we're just going to do our job.
08:12Yeah.
08:13We're just going to do our job.
08:14Yeah.
08:15Yeah.
08:16Yeah.
08:17Yeah.
08:18Yeah.
08:19Yeah.
08:20Yeah.
08:21Yeah.
08:22Yeah.
08:23Yeah.
08:24Yeah.
08:25You know, we're just going to do our job one round at a time, not make mistakes, and hopefully
08:28we can pull this thing off.
08:29I'd love nothing more than win right here in Brainerd.
08:32All right, this first pair here in this grade eight, going to be a good one.
08:46Over in the right lane, that's going to be Jim Howe.
08:48And in the left lane, that will be Kyle Canyon.
08:51All right, Jim Howe will get the win and move on to the next round.
09:12It went good.
09:13The car ran really well.
09:14We put some more power in it, thinking that the track would come around.
09:15And it did.
09:16That's what we've got to do all night, not stub or toe.
09:17Good job.
09:18Good tricks, buddy.
09:19Good job.
09:20I was about to be mad, boy.
09:21I was like, man, how can I get out there in red?
09:22Jim has run us over right now.
09:25Well, that didn't go how I envisioned.
09:26That did not go how I envisioned.
09:28We're going to go do our homework, figure out what we've got to do to fix that.
09:33Let off the button to go.
09:34He was out there, car on me, just instantly.
09:38He was so far out I just saved it for another day.
09:40I think even if I were right with him on the tree, he probably still would have outran
09:59me.
10:00I know what the car's capable of now.
10:01I've seen him run.
10:02I know what we can run.
10:03I know what we can run.
10:04i know what the car is capable of now i've seen him run i know what we can run
10:08we need to go back and do some homework and i got to get my head right up there driver error
10:17i gotta stop doing that
10:26the second matchup in round one is david gates versus kai kelly

11:00here at brainerd international raceway it's always a really smooth surface one thing that does suck
11:04about it is they don't have lights so it's a lot of daytime racing so that puts a lot of stress on

12:41so
12:50so
12:52so
12:56so
13:02David Gates gets the win.
13:20Kyle Kelly will remain behind Ryan Martin in the Great Eight.
13:25I tried to tell him that that car was fast, but they were telling me that my s*** was slow.
13:29I tried to tell y'all.
13:31Yeah!
13:34Man, I feel great.
13:35You know, the car was on the run.
13:37Had to run with my best buddy.
13:39We left the starting line.
13:42We was locked up.
13:44I was like, oh, God, it's gonna be close.
13:46We got to the finish line.
13:48The wind light come on.
13:51You know, to go out there in that drag race, it was tight.
13:54We was close.
13:55We was close to leaving, stayed locked up the whole way.
13:57Hey, I got the wind light.
13:58Hopefully gonna go right on to the finals, win it like Ryan did last.
14:01We can.
14:02Man, I seen that old s*** pulling out.
14:04I said, oh s***, I gotta come get it.
14:07Man, was my tires on the ground at the finish line?
14:11Good s*** race, man.
14:14No s***.
14:15That's s*** close, bro.
14:16That had to be by a s*** centimeter.
14:18Bruh.
14:19I swear my wind light was coming on.
14:21I looked up after that s***.
14:23So Gates got that wind.
14:25I do know that I have a hot rod for the weekend.
14:27I might have lost to Gates now, but it is what it is.
14:30We know we gotta do to fix it, and we're gonna fix it,
14:32and we'll be ready for tomorrow.
14:33Because I can only take one of those s*** whoopings per weekend.
14:35Man, that sucks.
14:36That race ain't close.
14:37Keep making those paths, he'll win the grade eight.
14:44They can think we're lucky all they want.
14:46So anyway.
14:47Fuck all the s*** they want.
14:48So this being my first season, I've never been in a grade eight.
14:52I've never been in an invitationals race.
14:54So it's all kind of new to me.
14:56You make one mistake, and you're gonna get beat.
14:59Woo-woo!
15:01Feels badass to be in a grade eight.
15:03This is my first time.
15:04There's some fast hot rods in there.
15:06I'm running Damon.
15:07He went to the finals in Virginia.
15:09So the dude's got something going for him.
15:12He's gonna be tough.
15:14I don't think anybody's seen us coming into this deal.
15:17Not at all.
15:18Being in the grade eight already.
15:20All right.
15:21Huh?
15:22Surprise.
15:23Surprise.
15:24We got a huge target on our back now,
15:26and it's one of the things I'm just gonna have to kind of
15:28show up to every race, go around,
15:30and keep accumulating them points.
15:32I think they've been in the big block.
15:35Since we're the only big block out here,
15:37it's like taking them by surprise.
15:41But now they don't know how to catch up.
15:43But, you know, we're gonna have to figure out how to evolve
15:47because everybody's gonna get faster.
15:49So anyway.
15:51Check them one more time.
15:53We good back there?
15:54Yep.
15:55We good back there?
15:56We good back there?
15:57Hey, fix that seat belt for me.
15:59He already knows how that seat belt is.
16:00That sucker slides under my butt.
16:01I can't get it.
16:02Today we're hoping we can go some rounds,
16:03get this car lined out.
16:04If we can go some rounds today and get some wins,
16:05it's gonna put pressure on the competition.
16:06Any time you can put pressure on the competition,
16:08you stand a better chance of taking them wins.
16:11under my butt, I can't get it.
16:12Today, we're hoping we can go some rounds,
16:14get this car lined out.
16:15If we can go some rounds today and get some wins,
16:17it's gonna pit pressure on the competition.
16:19Anytime you can pit pressure on the competition,
16:21you stand a better chance of taking them wins.
16:37Next pair coming at you right now.
16:41Axeman in the right lane, driving that game-changer Mustang
16:45over in that left lane.
16:47That's gonna be Damon Merchant.
16:48Damon Merchant in the left lane.
16:50Damon Merchant in the left lane.
17:11And Axeman gets there first.
17:17Turn on that wind light and move on to the next round
17:20of the grade eight.
17:21I bet that was close nearly there.
17:23Yeah.
17:24Good job, babe.
17:25Good job, guys.
17:26What a .
17:27You treated me.
17:28It was out on me.
17:29I said, damn, I ain't gonna pick him up.
17:31In about 500 feet, I started inching.
17:32There it comes.
17:33Well, hell.
17:34Let me pull this off.
17:35From the time I let go.
17:36I never seen him.
17:37Out of nowhere.
17:38Here he comes.
17:39I just didn't have enough in the car to hold him off.
17:42Sometimes you just fall short.
17:45We'll just keep picking up.
17:47I'm gonna pull this off.
17:48I'm gonna pull this off.
17:49I'm gonna pull this off.
17:51What a .
17:52You treated me.
17:53It was out on me.
17:54I said, damn, I ain't gonna pick him up.
17:55And about 500 feet, I started inching.
17:56There it comes.
17:57Well, hell.
17:58Here it comes.
17:59Pull this off.
18:00From the time I let go.
18:01I never seen him.
18:03Out of nowhere, here he come.
18:05I just didn't have enough in the car to hold him off.
18:08Sometimes you just fall short.
18:11We'll just keep picking up this thing and making it faster and faster.
18:14The pass wasn't slow.
18:16It just wasn't enough to hold him off this time.
18:18Whew.
18:19Holy .
18:20That was a good one.
18:21That's something that's had me the whole way.
18:23I seen it coming.
18:24I was like, damn it.
18:26In the back of my mind, I knew that big block Chevy should slow a little.
18:30And this hemi should pick up.
18:32So I tried to stay pretty calm.
18:34And about 500 feet, I felt it go.
18:36It's like it is.
18:37But that gives you a good adrenaline rush.
18:39Then when that little light blinked on, I said, that's what it's about right there.
18:42Damon, I got to ask you a question.
18:45Who won?
18:46That was close.
18:47Just checking.
18:48The last race of round one will be Lizzie Musi versus Giuseppe Gentile.
18:56So there you go.
18:57Lavin.
18:58Broke the fuel line.
18:59Brand new fuel line.
19:00We're trying to put this new filter on.
19:01Inline filter.
19:02We had a ship to us.
19:03Broke off.
19:04Lucky the car didn't catch fire.
19:05A million ways to lose.
19:06Only one way to win.
19:07This can't happen.
19:08Lizzie, she's going to be fast.
19:09We know that.
19:10If we can pull it off.
19:11I feel like we have the car that can do it.
19:13We'll have to do what we can do and try to beat her to the finish line.
19:28Now we're going against Lizzie.
19:29No data, right?
19:30Yep.
19:31But we're going to do what we talked about.
19:33I'm going to do what you said.
19:34What we, you know.
19:35We're going to leave what we got in it and go.
19:37What do you think?
19:38Think I need to go a little faster?
19:41That's a tough race race with her, man.
19:43You don't know when she's going to be.
19:44Because has she heard the word?
19:47Has Kai told her how fast you are?
19:49I know.
19:50And then she's told Pat.
19:52And now Pat's going, crank it up a little bit because he ain't no slouch.
19:55Yes.
19:56I promise you he went over to her probably.
19:58No, why wouldn't he?
19:59So be careful, yeah.
20:00Don't take him lightly.
20:01Yep.
20:02So you're going to get a good run out of her.
20:04Oh, yeah.
20:05So I'll just tell you that much.
20:08You know, just be thinking about what you're going to do because.
20:10Yeah.
20:11So, so it would be a good race, right?
20:15Yeah.
20:16All right, good luck.
20:17Good luck.
20:18If you need anything from me, let me know.
20:19All right.
20:20Thanks, dude.
20:21You bet.
20:35And this last pair of the first round for the great eighth coming at you over in the left lane.
20:50That is going to be Giuseppe in the left lane going up against Lizzie Musi in the right lane.
21:07It's Lizzie Musi in the right lane.
21:32He will go on to the next round of the grade A.
21:48Good job.
21:49You got it.
21:50You got it.
21:51You got it.
21:52You got it.
21:53No, you're way ahead of me.
21:54Yeah, I made a good run.
21:56Wheels were up on that.
21:57Yeah.
21:58You got to talk to Ryan.
21:59He told me, oh, you got it.
22:00Watch Lizzy, so I threw some more at it.
22:02Well, it freaking all that.
22:04Yeah, thank you.
22:05All right, appreciate it.
22:08So yeah, we got Lizzy.
22:11I'm excited.
22:12Took the power we threw at it.
22:15Car's running good.
22:16We'll have to find out here.
22:17We got two more rounds to try to win this.
22:20This looks like we got to throw more niches at it.
22:23Something, because I mean, it went down smooth,
22:26but it's slow as hell.
22:27Yeah.
22:29So you looked at the light.
22:30It looked, I felt like I let, like.
22:33You looked maybe like a tick.
22:35Yeah.
22:35But I mean, it was like, so damn near exactly.
22:38Yeah.
22:41The spark plug boot actually burned through,
22:44and we were just running on seven cylinders.
22:47Literally, Giuseppe just drove past me.
22:50Like, I felt so slow.
22:51I was like, something's got to be up.
22:54But it wouldn't matter.
22:55You was shot out on me, like, sitting still.
22:57Yeah.
22:58We ain't going fast.
23:05Build a little confidence going to the second round.
23:07Great deal for us right now, man.
23:09Two more rounds to win this deal,
23:11and we're going to just keep putting more into it
23:12and see how much it'll take.
23:15That was good.
23:15We got two more rounds trying to.
23:17All right.
23:18Hey, did I hear right?
23:19Did Gates beat Kai?
23:20Yeah.
23:21Oh, my God.
23:22Gates is pretty fast.
23:23Well.
23:23You got to watch them, yeah.
23:24Well, go get them.
23:25All right, man.
23:26You too.
23:26Okay, I believe we are ready for our grade eight semifinals drivers meeting.
23:43Your drivers that will be in the grade eight for the semifinals will be David Gates, Axeman, Giuseppe, and Jim Powell.
23:51All right, let's go ahead and draw chips, see who's racing who.
23:54All right, where are my number ones?
24:07David Gates and Axeman, which means the second pair will be Giuseppe and Jim Powell.
24:19All right, guys.
24:20Look, we're down to four.
24:22Some of you guys will get $10,000 tonight, all right?
24:25Hell, yeah.
24:26All right, so get back in the pits.
24:27Get your cars turned around.
24:28Let's see who gets the money.
24:29Let's go.
24:30We got the Axeman.
24:31Oh, yeah?
24:32The one and only Axeman.
24:33Nice.
24:34First pair in our left lane.
24:35Okay.
24:36Good.
24:37So, I mean, everybody's fast.
24:38Ain't no good draws here.
24:39And they know that this image is fast, too.
24:40That's right.
24:41Went up there and drew and we drew Axeman.
24:42Axeman's fast.
24:43He's got a Mustang.
24:44That's what I came from.
24:45Mustangs.
24:46I've liked that car ever since I seen it come out.
24:47You know, I know Axeman's good at what he does.
24:48But he's got his hands full right here, I believe.
24:49And we're going to go out there and give it all we got.
24:50We put our work in.
24:51We got a hot rod.
24:52It's individual tonight.
24:53We're racing for $100,000, you know, championship individually and a $10,000 purse tonight.
24:55We're going to have the only 1st,000 and a total of the big 10,000 in our left lane.
24:59I mean, everybody's fast.
25:00There's no good draws here.
25:01And they know that this image is fast, too.
25:02That's right.
25:03I mean, we drew an Axeman.
25:04We drew an Axeman.
25:05Axeman's fast.
25:06He's got a Mustang.
25:07That's what I came from.
25:08It's Mustangs.
25:09I've liked that car ever since I seen it come out.
25:11You know, I know Axeman's good at what he does.
25:12But he's got his hands full right here, I believe.
25:13And we're going to go out there and give it all we got.
25:15We put our work in.
25:16Hot Rod, it's individual tonight.
25:18We're racing for $100,000, you know,
25:20championship individually and a $10,000 purse tonight.
25:23I feel like the track's going to take more
25:25as the air gets better and the sun starts going down
25:27and getting off the track.
25:28It's going to be less greasy.
25:29Adam's going to wake this thing up,
25:30and we're going to keep giving it hell.
25:31I'm going to put it down through there and try to do my job.
25:34Adam already looked at the plugs.
25:36Two more times, man.
25:37Two more.
25:38Three more.
25:42Gates is doing good, though.
25:43I'll give him credit.
25:44Like, he's doing real good.
25:46I mean, just because.
25:48Yeah.
25:48Yeah.
25:50Nah.
25:51We're going to have to find some more at the 60.
25:53But it's going to be hard to get a 2,800-pound car
25:55to 60 with a 2,600-pound car.
25:59That's going to be tough.
26:00I think we just got to speed everything up a little bit.
26:03Yeah.
26:03Yeah.
26:0460, 330, you know.
26:06But we still got that tire shake spot.
26:08That's a hard spot to.
26:11If we figure that tire shake out, I
26:12think it's going to be real fast.
26:15Because when it gets up and starts shaking,
26:16like I say, it just shifts into second and calms down.
26:19If we can go through that a lot faster.
26:21Yeah.
26:21So from second on, though, we can turn it up more
26:23after the shake.
26:24Yeah.
26:24I know we're talking more power.
26:26Yeah.
26:27Going into race David Gates, he had just beat Kai.
26:30And Kai won the last race.
26:31So we knew David was really rolling.
26:35I mean, he had his program on point.
26:37And so we hopped this up a little bit to make sure
26:41we were on point.
26:53All right.
26:53Here we go.
26:54Great eight semifinals coming at you right now.
26:57Over in the right lane, that is going to be Axeman.
27:07Larry Roach driving the game changer Mustang.
27:11He is going up against David Gates.
27:14David Gates in the left lane.
27:17Winner will go to the finals.
27:18The first race of round two, David Gates versus Axeman.
27:48And David Gates gets the win.
27:53Nice job.
27:54Yeah, baby.
27:56Hey, he's driving.
27:57He's driving.
27:58Hey.
27:59Nice.
28:00Oh, yeah.
28:01Adam, you bad .
28:03That saved my ass.
28:04He told him that .
28:05He saved my ass.
28:06He damn sure did.
28:07Good job, y'all.
28:08Adam.
28:12Yeah.
28:13Up and down.
28:17Up and down.
28:22Woo!
28:35We had a drag race, Axeman.
28:36That was a drag race, brother.
28:37Woo!
28:38That was a good one.
28:39This thing was moving everywhere.
28:42Oh, man.
28:43That was all the way.
28:44Yes, sir.
28:45Good race, brother.
28:46Honored to race with you.
28:47Damn, what a race.
28:49You tried the line you're on the left of it.
28:51When you hit it out there, it shook the tire out.
28:53Nah, he out running.
28:54No, no.
28:55He's running out.
28:56He out.
28:57He leave out.
28:58His car's a little lighter, so I knew he would be out a little.
29:01Top of first.
29:02This time, it rattled.
29:03Like it's just .
29:04Shook the car.
29:05Oh, man.
29:06But then it hooked back up and went back on the race again.
29:09And right at the finish line, I pulled back up beside him.
29:11I thought I was going to get him, but it didn't work out.
29:16It looked like you were side by side all the way up the track.
29:19Yeah.
29:20I had to look at this.
29:21Oh, it was a good race.
29:22Yeah.
29:23It was a drag race.
29:24Yeah.
29:25It kind of shook a little at that same spot.
29:26There was a big wall spot out there, like 80 feet.
29:29Yeah.
29:30That's why we moved over so far.
29:32And it's like, it rattled the tire and drove right over the top of it.
29:35Yeah.
29:36I was like, oh.
29:37Yeah.
29:38I felt it rattle.
29:39And I said, is it going to go through it?
29:40And then it hooked back up.
29:41And we were just there, man.
29:43I said, dang.
29:44And right at the finish line, I think I pulled a little bit.
29:48So I started thinking.
29:49I'm like, I believe I'm coming back around.
29:50But then when that light popped on, I said, ooh, that wasn't good.
29:52Not fair.
29:53That wasn't good.
29:54Even Gates said it was neck and neck.
29:55Yeah.
29:56That was a good race.
29:57That was a damn good race.
29:59Whoo.
30:00All right.
30:01Make sure everything's good.
30:02Through Jim Howe for the second round.
30:03We know Jim, what he's capable of.
30:04He's really fast.
30:05Heavy hitter.
30:06He's beat Ryan before.
30:07Expecting a lot from him.
30:08Expecting a fast run.
30:09I'm going to look at the data right now.
30:10See what we got to do.
30:11We put some in it for Jim.
30:12I knew I had to get back to the trailer and work on the tune-up a little.
30:13Put a little bit of timing in the middle and out back.
30:14Took a little bit more fuel out to get it lean.
30:15Now we're on the edge, though.
30:16You gotta watch it.
30:17I don't want to burn this motor up.
30:32Good luck, Big Dove.
30:33All right, brother.
30:34CO2 on.
30:36Yep, doing it right now.
30:37I'm called up.
30:40Car and power.
30:41You all called friends?
30:42Colt and power.
30:43There you go.
30:44They did the whole tower at A Black Star.
30:45It's the same trick.
30:46And you're going to grab that wing as soon as he's in the wing.
30:49Once I stop.
30:50Right.
30:51Yeah.
30:52No, that way it's set.
30:53I don't have to watch him no more.
30:54All right.
30:55Cool.
30:56You and your tires.
31:16Next pair coming at you right now over in the right lane.
31:27That'll be Jim Howell.
31:28He is going up against Giuseppe Gentile over here in the left lane in that beautiful Nova.
31:46And Giuseppe gets the .
32:06Come on.
32:07Woo!
32:14Seppi, hell of a race, baby.
32:19That was a good race, Jim.
32:20I couldn't tell.
32:21It was close.
32:22I thought you were going to get me.
32:24Good race, buddy.
32:25I leaned on it for you, buddy.
32:29I leaned on it.
32:30I put some timing in that bitch, too.
32:33That thing was close down there.
32:34I couldn't tell.
32:35Oh, man.
32:36It was back and forth, back and forth in the middle.
32:38I think you got me a little bit.
32:39And then at the end, just, damn, I just got you, buddy.
32:41That was awesome.
32:42That was a good .
32:43Yeah, man.
32:44And it was a heck of a drag race.
32:48Giuseppe and I were changing places as we went down the race track.
32:53We went to the finish line.
32:54I had no clue who won.
32:59We made a good run.
33:00We just got outrun, so try again tomorrow.
33:03What do you guys think?
33:04Woo!
33:05Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
33:06Finals!
33:07Woo!
33:08We're in the finals, baby.
33:09Guess who you have?
33:10Gates.
33:11We get to pay back Gates.
33:12Pay back Gates.
33:13Yeah, yeah.
33:14I let him leave that one.
33:15If we leave on time, it's going to be a good race.
33:16Yeah, this is good.
33:17He was skating.
33:18And he skated.
33:19I seen him make the move.
33:20I was behind him.
33:21All I saw, I don't know how he stayed with it.
33:22He made a hard move.
33:23I don't know how he pulled it off.
33:26We went straight down.
33:27Straight down.
33:28Things hauling ass.
33:29Great race.
33:30Yeah.
33:31Yep.
33:32I put a little time in it.
33:33It took a little fuel out.
33:34It picked up.
33:35Maybe in the top end.
33:36Now we can see where we're at right with him.
33:37Yeah.
33:38We can pick it up right at the finish line a little bit.
33:40He was inching there.
33:41We'll get a little bit more on this thing.
33:43A little bit down low.
33:44It liked it.
33:45Looks straight, right?
33:46Tire tracks look good.
33:47The more you give it, the more it likes it.
33:49It wants it.
33:50Yeah, it wants it.
33:51All right.
33:52We got one more round.
33:53Front end is right here.
33:54Oh, yeah.
33:55Front end.
33:56Show was Jim's and it came down.
33:57Boom.
33:58Smooth.
33:59We got one more round.
34:00Let's try to win this thing.
34:01Let's be our first grade A win as a team.
34:03Yeah, you worked your ass off.
34:04Yeah, man.
34:05We've all been working our ass off.
34:06Thank you, Chris.
34:07All right.
34:08Let's do this.
34:09Come on.
34:14We meet again.
34:15I know, man.
34:16There's one good thing about it, though.
34:18We both got either seven or 10 points.
34:20Yeah.
34:21No, no.
34:22We're doing good.
34:23That's a good start.
34:24Yes, it is.
34:25You know, that's the main thing about it.
34:26You close to almost being ready?
34:27I'm getting ready now.
34:28Okay.
34:29All right.
34:30We're close.
34:31You call it.
34:32All right.
34:33Tails.
34:34It's tails.
34:35I think it's tails.
34:36I can't see, but...
34:37Tails it is.
34:38Left length.
34:39Okay.
34:40All right.
34:41Cool.
34:42All right, man.
34:43I wanted to do a new look this year.
34:44I was going to come out with a camo wrap, and Ryan dropped a camo wrap.
34:49I couldn't go out there and do the same deal.
34:51I didn't want nobody to think that I was copying him, so I went with the breast cancer deal.
34:57Lizzy, she's one of my good friends.
35:00She's got diagnosed with breast cancer, so we wanted to do something for her.
35:04I think it came out badass.
35:06We put the ribbon on the roof.
35:07We got the gray, the black, the white, and with the pink.
35:10I think it's a cool deal.
35:11Hopefully, everything does good, and she's able to fight it off and beat it, and stay out here racing with us.
35:16Take care.
35:18The stage is set for the finals as David Gates will go up against Giuseppe Gentile for $10,000.
35:29We got right lane, okay?
35:30We got to get up there.
35:31Right lane.
35:32Is it gassed up?
35:33Yeah.
35:34Gassed up.
35:35All right, front end.
35:36Close the door.
35:37David Gates, I'm not underestimating him.
35:39He's fast.
35:40He's been taking some heavy hitters out, which I'm surprised, and those nitrous combos have
35:44always been said to be fast.
35:46Right now is a real good gauge for us, see where we're at if we make a good run.
35:49Hopefully, we're a little quicker.
35:51Big nose.
35:52We're good.
35:53Air bottle's off right now.
35:54I checked in.
35:55All right.
35:56Shoots are done.
35:57Fuel's plugged.
35:58All right.
36:00Let's go.
36:13That talk out good, too.
36:15That pattern.
36:16Come on, baby.
36:18One more round for daddy.
36:19One more round.
36:20One more round for daddy.
36:23I talk good to her.
36:24Pattern.
36:25Well, Giuseppe, he's got a fast car.
36:28And they put a lot of work and time into it.
36:31And, I mean, it's basically a brand new car built by the same guy that built mine.
36:35I feel like whoever cuts the light and makes the trip is going to win the race.
36:38Are you all ready?
36:39Are you ready?
36:40I'll stay ready, cuz.
36:42Let's roll.
36:45Let's roll.
36:46I've been pretty good on the light.
36:47I don't feel like I've lost the light all day.
36:49And I pride myself on taking the tree.
36:51And I'm gonna go out here and try to cut a tree on him.
36:53Cut him down and go out there and get the wind and come back and have a cold beer.
36:57All right, homie.
36:59You done with the generator?
37:00Yes, ma'am.
37:01Sorry.
37:02That's what we've been working for.
37:04Can you let the generator move in?
37:05Makes all them 16-hour drives not so bad right now.
37:08Yeah.
37:09And 20-hour flight.
37:10Hey, man, be careful.
37:11Let's go get this thing.
37:12Love you, brother.
37:13Love you, man.
37:21That's it.
37:22Baby, just like we've been doing.
37:25Take a breath.
37:26We got this.

39:03I'm always pride myself on the light, trying to cut a good light. I told y'all before,
39:15whoever cuts the light is going to win the race. We left dead even. He pulled me for about
39:2060 feet, and then my car started shaking, and I kept talking to her. We were able to
39:28pull around him and get the win, and you know, the car run good today, and we're going to
39:31give it hell tomorrow.
39:33Whew! Damn! What a race!

39:41I don't know.
39:43I couldn't see you, couldn't see you, and then I'm like, ah! But I was all over the place.
39:47I turned it up, and it got pissed off.
39:49This thing was shaking and rattling, and I said, man, I just got to stay in it.
39:51Same thing with me. I was all over the place, all up against the wall, and I was coming back,
39:55and I'm like, oh, I don't see him. And bam!
39:58I don't even really know what to say, you know, and I'm never lost for words, but I'm
40:01lost for words right now. You know, we've talked about these moments, and dreamed about these
40:05moments, and worked hard for these moments, and this is the moment. And, you know, it
40:10just proves that everybody can do it. You know, you don't, this ain't no million dollar operations
40:14around here and stuff. It's coming out here, good people, good fans, best fans in the world,
40:20and, you know, running these cars, and everything falling into place, and, I mean, the good Lord's
