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.
09:34Jim has run us over right now.
09:38Well, that didn't go how I envisioned.
09:43That did not go how I envisioned.
09:46We're going to go do our homework,
09:47figure out what we've got to do to fix that.
09:51Let off the button to go.
09:52He was out there car on me just instantly.
09:55He was so far out, I just saved it for another day.
09:58I think even if I were right with him on the tree,
10:01he probably still would have outran me.
10:04I know what the car is capable of now.
10:05I've seen him run.
10:06I know what we can run.
10:08We need to go back and do some homework,
10:10and I've got to get my head right up there.
10:13Driver error.
10:17I've got to stop doing that.
10:26The second matchup in round one is David Gates
10:28versus Kai Kelly.
10:32Hey, bud.
10:33I really need you to suck on this next one.
10:35That was my only sucking one for the weekend.
10:38We're at Brainerd International Raceway.
10:40I'm in the grade eight for the second week in a row.
10:43We plan on getting some points tonight,
10:44keep moving up that ladder, stay in it, stay locked in,
10:47win that $100,000.
10:49I really got some bad news.
10:50What?
10:51I found this drunk guy in the stands.
10:52He's going to line me up this time.
10:54But once I knock your ass off, you're going to line me up
10:56the rest of the time?
10:57Yeah.
10:57Hell yeah.
10:58If you beat me, I'm definitely going to line you up.
10:59So we're out here at Brainerd International Raceway.
11:02It's always a really smooth surface.
11:03The only thing that does suck about it is they don't have
11:04lights.
11:05So it's a lot of daytime racing.
11:06So that puts a lot of stress on our tuners.
11:09Because as a driver, it's the same thing
11:11whether it's day or night.
11:12That's loose.
11:13Oh, the bolts are gone out of it, man.
11:15Oh, they're broke off.
11:17What?
11:18This top one's broke off.
11:21Oh, out of that damn vacuum pump itself.
11:24So if you can't fix that, man, it's all right.
11:27I'll just take the buck.
11:29OK.
11:30The grade 8 is individual.
11:31And once we go up here tonight, this is for the $100,000
11:34of individual championship.
11:36And Kai's already got seven points
11:38from being runner up last week.
11:39I'll be trying to run off.
11:40I'm here for you, man.
11:41I'll give you my shoulder to crawl on at the big end, too.
11:44So I'm going to go up here and put it on Kai,
11:46try to get the win tonight, and get my 10 points.
11:49I would tell you good luck, but I hope you have none.
11:51Other than that, though, I hope you're safe.
11:53And I'm always loving you, buddy.
11:54All right, buddy. I love you, too.
11:55I'll see you till the end.
11:56All right.
11:57Nice wheels, by the way.
11:57Oh, thank you.
11:58Kai's new car is really nice.
12:00They've done a lot of work on it.
12:01I like the blower motor.
12:02He's got a lot of power.
12:03But this old faithful girl right here
12:05is going to have to bring it on to him.
12:10Kai is only three points behind Ryan Martin right now.
12:21If he can win this race and move into the semifinals,
12:24he will be tied with Ryan.
12:26And if he advances further, Kai can take the lead in points.
12:56David Gates gets the win.
13:07Kai Kelly will remain behind Ryan Martin in the great eight.
13:13I tried to tell him that that car won't win.
13:18David Gates gets the win.
13:20Kai Kelly will remain behind Ryan Martin in the great eight.
13:25I tried to tell him that that car was fast,
13:27but they were telling me that my was slow.
13:30Try to tell y'all.
13:33Yeah!
13:34Man, I feel great.
13:35You know, the car was on the run.
13:37Had to run with my best buddy.
13:40We left the starting line.
13:43We was locked up.
13:44And I was like, oh, God, it's going to be close.
13:46We got to the finish line.
13:50The wind light come on.
13:52You know, to go out there in that drag race, it was tight.
13:54We was close, we was close leaving,
13:55stayed locked up the whole way.
13:57Hey, I got the wind light.
13:58Hopefully going to go right on to the finals,
13:59win it like Ryan did last weekend.
14:01Man, I seen that old gear pulling out.
14:04I said, oh, , I got to come get it.
14:07Man, was my tires on the ground at the finish line?
14:11I don't know.
14:13Good face, man.
14:14No .
14:15That's close, bro.
14:16That had to be by a centimeter.
14:18Bruh.
14:19My hair, my wind light was coming on.
14:20I looked up, I said, that .
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 got to do to fix it.
14:31And we're going to fix it, and we'll be ready for tomorrow.
14:33Because I can only take one of those ass whoopings per weekend.
14:36Man, that sucks.
14:37Race ain't close.
14:38Keep making those pass, he'll win the grade eight.
14:40They can think we're lucky all they want.
14:45So, anyway.
14:46Fuck all the they want.
14:47So, 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 going to get beat.
14:59Whoo-whoo.
15:00Feels badass to be in a grade eight.
15:02This is my first time.
15:03There's some fast hot rods in there.
15:05I'm running Damon.
15:06He went to the finals in Virginia, so the dude's
15:09got something going for him.
15:11He's going to be tough.
15:13I don't think anybody's seen us coming into this deal.
15:16Not at all.
15:17Being in the grade eight already.
15:19Surprise.
15:20Surprise.
15:21Surprise.
15:22We got a huge target on our back now,
15:25and it's one of the things I'm just going to have to kind of show up
15:27to every race, go around, and keep accumulating them points.
15:31I think they've been in the big block.
15:34Since we're the only big block out here,
15:36it's like taking them by surprise.
15:38But now, they don't know how to catch up.
15:42But we're going to have to figure out how to evolve,
15:46because everybody's going to get faster.
15:48So anyway.
15:50Check them one more time.
15:58We good back there?
15:59We good back there?
16:00Yep, good there.
16:01Hey, fix that seat belt for me.
16:05He already knows how that seat belt is.
16:09If that sucker slides under my butt, I can't get it.
16:11Today, we're hoping we can go some rounds,
16:13get this car lined out.
16:14If we can go some rounds today and get some wins,
16:16it's going to put pressure on the competition.
16:18Any time you can put pressure on the competition,
16:20you stand a better chance of taking them wins.
16:22Next pair coming at you right now.
16:26Axeman in the right lane driving that game-changer Mustang over in that left lane.
16:30That's going to be Damon Merchant.
16:32Damon Merchant in the left lane.
16:34Damon Merchant in the left lane.
16:35That's going to be Damon Merchant.
16:36Damon Merchant in the left lane.
16:37That's going to be Damon Merchant in the left lane.
16:39That's going to be Damon Merchant.
16:40That's going to be Damon Merchant in the left lane.
16:46That's going to be Damon Merchant in the left lane.
17:16And Axeman gets there first.
17:28We'll turn on that wind light and move on to the next round of the grade eight.
17:33I bet that was close there, man.
17:35Yeah.
17:36Good job, babe.
17:37Good job, guys.
17:39What a .
17:47You treed me.
17:48It was out on me.
17:49I said, damn, I ain't going to pick him up.
17:50And about 500 feet, I started inching.
17:52There it comes.
17:53Well, hell.
17:54Pull this off.
17:55From time to let go, I never seen him.
18:02Out of nowhere, here he come.
18:04I just didn't have enough in the car to hold him off.
18:08Sometimes you just fall short.
18:10We'll just keep picking at this thing and making it faster and faster.
18:13The pass wasn't slow.
18:15It 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.
18:25In the back of my mind, I knew that big block Chevy should slow a little and this Hemi should
18:30pick up.
18:31So I tried to stay pretty calm.
18:33And about 500 feet, I felt it go.
18:35It's like it just .
18:37But that gives you a good adrenaline rush.
18:38Then 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.
18:44Who won?
18:45That was close.
18:46Just checking.
18:47The last race of round one will be Lizzie Musi versus Giuseppe Gentile.
18:57Back, Grim.
18:58So there you go.
18:59Lavin.
19:00Broke the fuel line.
19:01Brand new fuel line.
19:02We're trying to put this new filter on.
19:04Inline filter.
19:05We gotta ship to us.
19:06Broke off.
19:07Lucky the car didn't catch fire.
19:08Million ways to lose.
19:09Only one way to win.
19:10This can't happen.
19:11Lizzie, she's gonna be fast.
19:12We know that.
19:13If we can pull it off, feel like we have the car that can do it.
19:18We'll have to do what we can do and try to beat her to the finish line.
19:23Now we're going against Lizzie.
19:24No data, right?
19:25Yep.
19:26But we're gonna do what we talked about.
19:27I'm gonna do what you said.
19:28What we, you know.
19:29We're gonna leave what we got in it and go.
19:30What do you think?
19:31Think I need to go a little faster?
19:33That's tough.
19:34Let's race with her, man.
19:35You don't know when she's gonna beat.
19:36Has she heard the word?
19:38Has Kai told her how fast you are?
19:40Yeah.
19:41And then she's told Pat.
19:42And now Pat's going.
19:43Great.
19:44I'm gonna do what we can do and try to beat her to the finish line.
19:46Now we're going against Lizzie.
19:47No data, right?
19:48Yep.
19:49But we're gonna do what we talked about.
19:50I'm gonna do what you said.
19:51Pat, and 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 gonna get a good run out of her.
20:04Oh, yeah.
20:05So I'll just tell you that much.
20:07You know, just be thinking about what you're gonna do because.
20:10Yeah.
20:12So, 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, thanks, dude.
20:20Let's go, hey.
20:21Let's go.
20:22Thanks, Dad.
20:23Taеч light.
20:24Hey Augenra!
20:34Hey locking.
20:36Hey guys!
20:38Hey there, don't ya.
20:39Hey!
20:40Hey, hey!
20:41666 months!
20:42We won't ran out of there.
20:43We won any way.
20:44Wait.
20:45We won last night.
20:46All right, young melod Bazans所,
20:47And this last pair of the first round for the Great Eighth coming at you over in the
21:01left lane.
21:02That is going to be Giuseppe in the left lane going up against Lizzie Musi in the right
21:08lane.
21:17Giuseppe gets in there turns on that light, nice job.
21:44He will go on to the next round of the Great Eight.
21:47Good job, Lizzie.
21:50You got me pretty good.
21:51No, you were way ahead of me.
21:53All right, yeah.
21:54Yeah, I made a good run.
21:55Wheels were up on that.
21:56Yeah, hell yeah.
21:57You got to talk to Ryan.
21:58He told me, oh, you got to watch Lizzie.
22:00So I threw some more at it.
22:01Well, it freaking all that.
22:03Yeah, thank you.
22:04All right.
22:05Appreciate it.
22:07So yeah, we got Lizzie.
22:10I'm excited.
22:11Took the power we threw at it.
22:13The car is running good.
22:15We'll have to find out here.
22:16We got two more rounds to try to win this.
22:18It looks like we got thrown more than I just had it.
22:22Something.
22:23I mean, it went down smooth, but it's slow as hell.
22:26Yeah.
22:27So you looked at the light.
22:29Oh, it was.
22:30I felt like I let, like.
22:32You looked maybe like a tick.
22:34Yeah.
22:35The spark plug boot actually burned through, and we were just running on seven cylinders.
22:47Literally, Giuseppe just drove past me.
22:49Like, I felt so slow.
22:50I was like, something's got to be up.
22:52But it wouldn't matter.
22:53You was shot out on me, like, sitting still.
22:56Yeah.
22:57We ain't going fast.
23:04Build a little confidence going to the second round.
23:06Great deal for us right now, man.
23:08Two more rounds to win this deal, and we're going to just keep putting more into it and see how much it'll take.
23:13That was good.
23:14We got two more rounds.
23:15Try to.
23:16All right.
23:17Hey, did I hear right?
23:18Did Gates beat Kai?
23:19Yeah.
23:20Oh, my God.
23:21Gates is pretty fast.
23:22Well.
23:23You got to watch them, yeah.
23:24Well, go get them.
23:25All right, man.
23:26You too.
23:37Okay.
23:38I 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.
23:52Let's go ahead and draw chips.
23:53See who's racing who.
24:03All right.
24:04Where are my number ones?
24:05David Gates and Axeman, which means the second pair will be Giuseppe and Jim Powell.
24:18All right, guys.
24:20Look, we're down to four.
24:21One of you guys will get $10,000 tonight.
24:24All right?
24:25Hell yeah.
24:26All right.
24:27So get back in the pits.
24:28Get your cars turned around.
24:29Let's see who gets the money.
24:30Let's go.
24:35We got the Axeman.
24:36Oh, yeah?
24:37The one and only Axeman.
24:38Nice.
24:39First pair in our left lane.
24:40Okay.
24:41Good.
24:42So.
24:43All right.
24:44I mean, everybody's fast.
24:45Ain't no good draws here.
24:46And they know that this so much is fast, too.
24:47That's right.
24:48Went up there and drew, and we drew Axeman.
24:49Axeman's fast.
24:50He's got a Mustang.
24:51That's what I came from.
24:52Mustangs.
24:53I've liked that car ever since I seen it come out.
24:54You know, I know Axeman's good at what he does, but he's got his hands full right here,
24:59I believe.
25:00And we're going to go out there and give it all we got.
25:01We put our work in.
25:02We got a hot rod.
25:03It's individual tonight.
25:04We're racing for a $100,000, you know, championship individually, and a $10,000 purse tonight.
25:29We're going to wake this thing up, and we're going to keep
25:31giving it hell, and I'm going to put it down through there
25:32and 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, he just beat Kai?
25:48Yeah.
25:48Yeah.
25:49Nah.
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 at the 60
25:56with a 2,600-mount roll.
25:59That's going to be tough.
26:00I think we just got to speed everything up a little bit.
26:03Yeah.
26:03Yeah.
26:0560, 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 think it's going to be real fast.
26:15Because when it gets up and starts shaking, like I say,
26:17it 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 after the shake.
26:24Yeah.
26:25I know we're talking more power.
26:26Yeah.
26:27Going into the 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 we were on point.
26:42All right, here we go.
26:54Great eight semi-finals coming at you right now.
27:04Over in the right lane, that is going to be Axeman, Larry Roach, driving the game changer Mustang.
27:10He is going up against David Gates.
27:14David Gates in the left lane.
27:16The winner will go to the final.
27:18The first race of round two, David Gates versus Axeman.
27:33And David Gates gets the win.
27:39Nice job.
27:42Yeah, baby!
27:43Hey, he's driving.
27:44He's driving.
27:44Hey, nice.
27:45Hell yeah!
27:46Adam, you bad.
27:47That saved my ass.
27:48He saved my ass.
27:49He saved my ass.
27:50He damn so did.
27:51Good job, man.
27:52Adam.
27:53Yeah!
27:54Yes!
27:59Oh, man.
28:00Yeah!
28:01Yeah!
28:01We're driving!
28:02I just got to Heil to him.
28:03Help me!
28:04I'm standing here.
28:05I don't know how I am...
28:07magnetarm did you see him.
28:10Damn, it wasceptions some shots.
28:11Hey, hey God!
28:13Hey!
28:14Hey, yeah!
28:15You've given us a lot?
28:15Hey, yeah.
28:16That saved my ass.
28:17And you told us a這是 He saved my ass.
28:20We had a drag race, X-Mayor.
28:24That was a drag race, brother.
28:26Whoo!
28:27This thing was moving everywhere.
28:30Oh, man.
28:31That was all the way.
28:32Yes, sir.
28:33Good race, brother.
28:34Yes, sir.
28:35Thank you, man.
28:36Good race, brother.
28:37Honored to race with you.
28:38Damn.
28:39What a good one.
28:40That was a good one.
28:41Oh, man.
28:42That was all the way.
28:43Yes, sir.
28:44Good race, brother.
28:45Yes, sir.
28:46Thank you, man.
28:47Good race, brother.
28:48Damn, what a race.
28:50You try the line you're on the left of it.
28:52When you hit it out there, it shook the tire out.
28:54Nah, he out running.
28:55No, no.
28:56He's running out.
28:58We leave out.
28:59His car's a little lighter, so I knew he would be out a little.
29:02Top of first.
29:03This time, it rattled.
29:04Like it's a...
29:05Shook the car out.
29:06Oh, man.
29:07But 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.
29:13Thought I was going to get him, but it didn't work out.
29:15It looked like y'all were side by side all the way up the track.
29:19Yeah.
29:20Have 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.
29:27There 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 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.
30:04Whew.
30:05All right.
30:06Make sure everything's good through Jim Howe for the second round.
30:10We know Jim, what he's capable of.
30:11He's really fast.
30:12Heavy hitter.
30:13He's beat Ryan before.
30:14Expecting a lot from him.
30:15Expecting a fast run.
30:16I'm going to look at the data right now.
30:17See what we got to do.
30:18We put something in it for Jim.
30:20I knew I had to get back to the trailer and work on the tune-up a little.
30:24Put a little bit of timing in the middle and out back.
30:26Took a little bit more fuel out to get it lean.
30:28Now we're on the edge though.
30:29You got to watch it.
30:30I don't want to burn this motor up.
30:31All right, brother.
30:32CO2 on?
30:33Yep.
30:34Doing it right now.
30:35Caught it.
30:37Car and power.
30:38Y'all caught my power hurt?
30:39And you're going to grab that wing as soon as he's in the way.
30:40Once I stop.
30:41Right.
30:42Yeah.
30:43No, that way it's set.
30:44I don't have to watch him no more.
30:45I'm watching you and your tires.
30:46All right.
30:47Cool.
30:48You and your tires.
30:49All right.
30:50Cool.
30:51All right.
30:52Cool.
30:53All right.
30:54Cool.
30:55You and your tires.
31:16Next pair coming at you right now over in the right lane, that'll be Jim Howell.
31:29He is going up against Giuseppe Gentile over here in the left lane in that beautiful Nova.
31:46in the right lane in the right lane, it's hard to keep Schaden.
31:49Yeah.
31:50And Giuseppe gets the f***ing f***ing a gun!
32:06A Ja7ies.
32:08Let's do it.
32:18Seppy, hell of a race, baby.
32:20That was a good race, Jim.
32:21I couldn't tell.
32:22It was close.
32:23I thought you were gonna get me.
32:28Good race, buddy.
32:29I leaned on it for you, buddy.
32:31I leaned on it.
32:32I put some timing in that bitch, too.
32:34That thing was close down there.
32:35I couldn't tell.
32:36Oh, man.
32:37It was back and forth, back and forth in the middle.
32:39I think you got me a little bit.
32:40And then at the end, just, damn, I just got you, buddy.
32:42That was awesome.
32:43That was a good .
32:44I'll get any day.
32:45Go get it.
32:46Yeah, man.
32:47And it was a heck of a drag race.
32:50Giuseppe and I were changing places
32:51as we went down the racetrack.
32:53We went to the finish line.
32:54I had no clue who won.
32:59We made a good run.
33:01We just got outrun.
33:02So try again tomorrow.
33:04What do you guys think?
33:05Woo!
33:07We're in the final, baby.
33:08Woo!
33:09We're in the final, baby.
33:10Guess who you have?
33:11Gates.
33:12We get to pay 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.
33:17Yeah, this is good.
33:18He was skating.
33:19And 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.
33:23He made a hard move.
33:24I don't know how he pulled it off.
33:25But we went straight down.
33:28Straight down.
33:29Things hauling ass.
33:30Great race.
33:31Yeah.
33:32Yep.
33:32I put a little time in it.
33:33Took a little fuel out.
33:34It picked up.
33:35Maybe in the top end now 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.
33:42We'll get a little bit more on this thing.
33:43A little bit down low.
33:45It liked it.
33:46Looks 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.
33:52All right, we got one more round.
33:53Front end is right up here.
33:55Oh, yeah.
33:56Front end.
33:57Show was Jim's and it came down.
33:58Boom.
33:59Smooth.
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.
34:04Yeah, you worked your ass off.
34:05Yeah, man.
34:05We've all been working our ass off.
34:06Thank you, Chris.
34:07All right, let's do this.
34:09Come on.
34:15We made again.
34:15I know, man.
34:17There's one good thing about it, though.
34:18We both got either seven or 10 points.
34:20Yeah, no, no.
34:21We're doing good.
34:22That's a good start.
34:23Yes, it is.
34:24You know, and that's the main thing about it.
34:25You close to almost being ready?
34:27I'm getting ready right now.
34:28OK.
34:28All right, we're close.
34:29You call it.
34:29All right.
34:30All right.
34:30Tails.
34:33I think it's tails.
34:33I can't see, but.
34:34Tails it is.
34:35Left flank.
34:36OK.
34:36All right, cool.
34:37All right, man.
34:38Be safe.
34:38We'll be right up there.
34:39You too.
34:44So I wanted to do a new look this year.
34:45I was going to come out with a camo wrap,
34:47and Ryan dropped a camo wrap.
34:50I couldn't go out there and do the same deal.
34:51I didn't want nobody to think that I was copying him.
34:55So I went with the breast cancer deal.
34:58Lizzie, she's one of my good friends.
35:00She's got diagnosed with breast cancer.
35:02So we wanted to do something for her.
35:05I think it came out bad ass.
35:06We put the ribbon on the roof.
35:08We got the gray, the black, the white, and with the pink.
35:10I think it's a cool deal.
35:12Hopefully everything does good, and she's
35:13able to fight it off and beat it, and stay out here
35:16racing with us.
35:16Take care with your help.
35:22The stage is set for the finals, as David Gates will go up
35:24against Giuseppe Gentile for $10,000.
35:29We got right lane, OK?
35:31We got to get up there.
35:32Right lane.
35:33Is it gassed up?
35:33Yeah.
35:34Gassed up.
35:35All right, front end, close the door.
35:38David Gates, I'm not underestimating him.
35:40He's fast.
35:40He's been taking some heavy hitters out, which I'm surprised.
35:43And those nitrous combos have always been said to be fast.
35:46Right now is a real good gauge for us,
35:48see where we're at, if we make a good run.
35:50Hopefully we're a little quicker.
35:51Big nose, we're good.
35:53Air bottle's off right now, I checked it.
35:55All right.
35:55Shoots are done.
35:57Fuel, plug.
35:58All right.
36:01Let's go.
36:13That talk all good to her.
36:16Now, Pat her.
36:18Come on, baby.
36:18One more round for daddy.
36:20One more round.
36:21Yeah, Pat her.
36:22One more round for daddy.
36:24That talk good to her.
36:25Pat her.
36:27Well, Giuseppe, he's got a fast car.
36:29And they put a lot of work and time into it.
36:31And I mean, it's basically a brand new car built
36:34by the same guy that built mine.
36:35I feel like whoever cuts the light and makes the trip
36:37is going to win the race.
36:38Are y'all ready?
36:39Are you ready?
36:41I'll stay ready, cuz.
36:43Let's roll.
36:47I've been pretty good on the light.
36:48I don't feel like I've lost the light all day.
36:50And I pride myself on taking the tree.
36:52And I'm going to go out here and try to cut a tree on him,
36:54cut him down, and go out there and get the wind,
36:56and come back and have a cold beer.
36:57All right, homie.
37:00Are you done with the generator?
37:01Yes, ma'am.
37:03Sorry.
37:04That's what we've been working for.
37:05Can you load the generator for a minute?
37:07Makes all them 16-hour drives not so bad right now.
37:09Yeah.
37:10And 20-hour flight.
37:13Hey, man, be careful.
37:14Let's go get this.
37:15Love you, brother.
37:15Love you, man.
37:20Eight of eight.
37:22That's it.
37:24Eight of me, just like we've been doing.
37:26Take a breath.
37:27We got this.
37:28All right, I want to get a great eight miles
37:29coming under there.
37:30Ready?
37:31Yep, let's do it.
37:32Let's do it.
37:33All right, here we go.
37:54Great eight finals coming at you right now.
37:57One of these drivers will win $10,000 and the ever-important
38:16point four, the individual championship.
38:33David Gates, your great eight winner, congratulations on his team, what a drag race.
38:57I'm always priding myself on the light, trying to cut a good light, I told y'all before, whoever cuts the light is going to win the race.
39:18We left dead even, he pulled me for about 60 feet, and then my car started shaking, and I kept talking to her.
39:27We was able to pull around him and get the win, and you know, the car run good today, and we're going to give it hell tomorrow.
39:34Woo! Damn! What a race! I don't know how you went by me. How far did I have you? I 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. I turned it up, and it got pissed off.
39:49This thing was shaking and rattling. I was all over the place, all up against the wall, and I was coming back,
39:56and I'm like, oh, I don't see him, I don't, and bam!
39:59I don't even really know what to say, you know, and I'm never lost for words, but I'm lost for words right now.
40:03You know, we've talked about these moments and dreamed about these moments and worked hard for these moments,
40:08and this is the moment, and you know, it just proves that everybody can do it.
40:13You know, you don't, this ain't no million-dollar operations around here and stuff.
40:16It's coming out here, good people, good fans, best fans in the world, and, you know, running these cars,
40:23and everything falling into place, and, I mean, good Lord's got to be watching over you to do what we do.
40:29It's just a top-end big time. Yes, sir.
40:31Yeah, you got a lot.
40:32Yes, sir.
40:33We got points. We're in there now.
40:34Yeah, we're in there, man.
40:35Yep.
40:36The second grade-eight race is in the books as David Gates wins his first event.
40:41He's going home with $10,000 cash and 10 points towards his grade-eight total.
40:54Next week, the top drivers will be in Bowling Green to continue their battle for the grade-eight championship.
41:02That turns back to earn more points.
41:06Kai is trying to climb out of second place.
41:12Damn.
41:14But no one wants anything for free.
41:17Hey, Kai, you want to wait for Damon?
41:19You want to give him five minutes if he ain't up here, I'll go.
41:21Yeah, that's fair.
41:2330 seconds.
41:2430 seconds.
41:2530 seconds remaining.
