00:00:00All right, let's do it.
00:00:02Oh, wait.
00:00:03Ryan's team all went out early.
00:00:07That's one?
00:00:07He beat Ryan?
00:00:08Whoa.
00:00:09But team captain Murder Nova and Nate Saylor from Team Boaty raced in the finals.
00:00:15And Nate Saylor.
00:00:17Wow, what a drag race.
00:00:19That earned both teams enough points to pass Team Ryan in the rankings.
00:00:24And Team Murder Nova now holds their highest ranking of the season.
00:00:30Here we go.
00:00:46All right, kids.
00:00:55Hey, Maple Grove, how y'all doing today?
00:01:00Folks, we have a big show planned for you today.
00:01:04A lot of racing.
00:01:05The Invitational Class pays $40,000 to win.
00:01:09$200,000 to win to the team that has the most points at the end of the season.
00:01:14We are here in the beautiful green countryside of Pennsylvania, about an hour or so outside
00:01:23of Philadelphia.
00:01:24We're getting ready for our 10th points race of the year.
00:01:32All right, we'll go right here.
00:01:34Go by my buddy Mikey.
00:01:36Team Kai Kelly has been holding down first place now for four straight weeks, and they
00:01:41have held that position more than any team this entire season.
00:01:45But Team Daddy Dave is just 100 points behind them, even though both of those teams didn't
00:01:51do so hot last week in Ohio.
00:01:53Kai Kelly got knocked out in round one by his teammate, Clay Cole, and Dave hasn't made it
00:01:57out of the first round in the past three events.
00:02:00That's gave a couple other teams a chance to move ahead, like Team Murder Nova, who had
00:02:04a great event last week.
00:02:07So, we're in third place.
00:02:09Yep.
00:02:09We're only 60 points away from Dave's team.
00:02:12So-
00:02:13The only bad thing is, they got all five in, and Doc can't-
00:02:15And Doc-
00:02:16He can't get a break.
00:02:18I know.
00:02:19With four.
00:02:19With four.
00:02:20But, if we have another week like we did last week, we might get ground.
00:02:24We need to put them out first round.
00:02:26No doubt.
00:02:26Now's the time to make our move, though.
00:02:28We're running out of time.
00:02:29I know.
00:02:29And also, Team Bodie has been looking strong.
00:02:33Mr. Bowman.
00:02:34Bodie himself, unfortunately, could not make the event.
00:02:37But, one of his teammates, Damon Merchant, has stepped up to help lead.
00:02:41Having three in's been really hurting us.
00:02:44Right.
00:02:44We've been putting in work.
00:02:45We've been doing it.
00:02:46But, if you think about that now, where are we in the ninth or tenth race?
00:02:49That's 90 to 100 points right there.
00:02:51Yeah, it's a lot.
00:02:52It would have made a big difference if I was there with you guys, but-
00:02:55Like I said, it ain't been for lack of effort.
00:02:56We know it's fast.
00:02:57It's been looking really good.
00:02:58You're in.
00:03:00We've got rounds to go today.
00:03:01Yeah, we've got rounds to go today.
00:03:03Mike Bowman was able to successfully race his way into the main event.
00:03:06This will be the first time that Team Bodie has had four racers in the invite.
00:03:13Meanwhile, Ryan Martin's team is having a little bit more trouble.
00:03:16Last week, Ryan traded Chuck for Jerry Bird, but unfortunately, Jerry Bird was unable to race
00:03:21his way in.
00:03:22That, along with mediocre performances from the rest of the team, forced him to drop two
00:03:26spots in the rankings.
00:03:27The reason why we came here first is to welcome you guys to our team.
00:03:32I think that we can help you guys get a little faster, and that part, I'm ecstatic about.
00:03:37We're all stoked.
00:03:38Together, we're going to get this deal turned around, and it's going to be a great move for
00:03:41our team.
00:03:41Y'all know I love you.
00:03:43Thank you, man.
00:03:43I appreciate it.
00:03:44Yeah.
00:03:45I love that.
00:03:46And I'm glad to have you.
00:03:48Get after it.
00:03:49See what happens.
00:03:49I just hope we don't get each other.
00:03:51We got all five in.
00:03:56We are 60 points behind Ryan, and I think Kai and them, they're still in first.
00:04:01They got a pretty big lead, but we're coming up on the races.
00:04:05We're really going to count.
00:04:06But we're going to have points and a half, points and a half, and double points at the
00:04:09end.
00:04:10Last year, you and John capitalized a lot on that points and a half, double points there.
00:04:16Nobody's out of it yet.
00:04:17I mean, Disco Dean may be out.
00:04:19He's, I don't know if he's even got a chance, honestly.
00:04:22Look at that.
00:04:24Bread chrome.
00:04:24That's like a ginger.
00:04:27Finally, we have Mike Murillo and Disco Dean's teams who have had a really rough year.
00:04:32They each have less than half the points of Team Kai Kelly, and they're running out of
00:04:36time to catch up.
00:04:37Our main concern is, obviously, Larry's been doing pretty good.
00:04:41The rest of the team over here has been struggling, riding the struggle bus.
00:04:43We made the change.
00:04:44We got Chuck on the team, tried to change our luck up.
00:04:46Jerry's over here.
00:04:47Booted that worthless-ass Jerry Bird out of here that couldn't get in, so, I mean, he's
00:04:50out of here.
00:04:51Kicking the up, my dude.
00:04:53I got big shoes to fill.
00:04:55You know I only wear nine and a half, right?
00:04:58Last week, we had a lot of back and forth with trades.
00:05:01But this week, there were only two changes.
00:05:04Dave dropped Kyle Canyon, who was unable to make it to the event, and picked up Reaper.
00:05:09And Bodie replaced himself with Tim Brown.
00:05:16Team Disco Dean did not have much success racing their way in, so they only have two drivers
00:05:22racing in the main event today.
00:05:24And the deal he made proved to be better for Ryan, as Jerry Bird was able to race his way
00:05:29in and make it into the main event, which now means Ryan has all five of his drivers
00:05:34in today.
00:05:36That should give him a good chance at crawling back up the leaderboard.
00:05:39You wore an Earnhardt shirt.
00:05:43You wore an Earnhardt shirt for driving.
00:05:45Lizzie!
00:05:45Lizzie!
00:05:46What?
00:05:47Oh, God.
00:05:49That's it.
00:05:50This is getting really out of control.
00:05:52What the ?
00:05:53I'm sad that you can actually fit in that.
00:05:56Where's Cassia?
00:05:58You look like a little pregnant water snake in that sweater.
00:06:02All right, folks, we are now at the point in time where I ask my drivers, go ahead and
00:06:09draw from the bucket.
00:06:11There are 32 drivers that are going to draw chips for their pairings.
00:06:15Oh, God.
00:06:16Oh, God.
00:06:17Oh, God.
00:06:22Oh, my God.
00:06:25No.
00:06:25There are some very interesting match-ups coming in to round one.
00:06:32Ryan drew his new teammate, Jerry Bird, which is a tough draw for him since it's his first
00:06:37time back in the Invitational since Idaho.
00:06:40Ain't nobody traded with him.
00:06:45That could have went better.
00:06:47Hey, you want to trade him back real quick?
00:06:49No, we're good.
00:06:49We're good.
00:06:50Lizzie Musi drew Tony McKinney, who actually was able to take her out in the first round
00:06:57of last week.
00:06:59Then Damon Merchant from Bodie's team ended up drawing Clay Cole from Team Kai.
00:07:04Both those drivers have been earning a ton of points for their team, but that will not
00:07:08be the case for one of them today.
00:07:10All right, folks, we're going to go ahead and get the starting line cleared off, and we're
00:07:13going to go ahead and get this show started.
00:07:16Invitational first round coming at you right now.
00:07:18That is going to be Mike Bowman going up against Justin Swanstrom.
00:07:24If he outruns me, then he's got to make a stellar run.
00:07:28Whether or not he knows that, who knows?
00:07:29We're going to see.
00:07:30It's got to be consistent.
00:07:32Huh?
00:07:32It's got to be consistent.
00:07:33Yeah.
00:07:35Yeah.
00:07:35I mean, we know we're making good runs, so.
00:07:37We're in the Invitational, and I'm super stoked because I haven't been there for a while.
00:07:41So I'm getting ready to race Justin Swanstrom.
00:07:44They're telling me he hadn't made that good of licks yesterday, and I have.
00:07:48So I've got to build some points, so every round counts.
00:07:51Got to make it happen.
00:07:52It starts today.
00:08:03It's been, you know, four or five races since I've been able to get out of first round,
00:08:06so hopefully we can change that today.
00:08:08We've got a new color scheme, and we've got all five drivers in.
00:08:10Hopefully we can all win, go to the next round, gain some points.
00:08:14I think we're only, like, 60 points behind Ryan Martin.
00:08:16Let's just see if we can go out there and do our job, see if we can win,
00:08:19and go on to the second round.
00:08:20And Justin Swanstrom takes the win.
00:08:39Nice pass from both cars.
00:08:42Hell yeah, hell yeah.
00:08:46Woo!
00:08:48Holy .
00:08:49I was able to cut him on the tree, and I was able to win that race.
00:08:52Very, very exciting for my crew, me, everybody.
00:08:55I mean, we've been struggling so many races.
00:08:57So just get it out of first round, and let's see if we can go more rounds.
00:09:00I went red.
00:09:01Let's go!
00:09:02Yeah, baby!
00:09:04Let's go!
00:09:05Let's go!
00:09:07Yeah, bud!
00:09:08Next pair coming at you right now.
00:09:12I've got Jim Howell going up against Kai Kelly.
00:09:15I hate having Jim Howell.
00:09:17That hell, Mary.
00:09:21I don't know what we're thinking, man.
00:09:22I don't, man, but if we're conservative, we're going to get our ass whooped, I think.
00:09:27Me and Jim Howell, we always go back and forth.
00:09:29He's one of the guys that kind of intimidate me because he can pull a really fast pass out of his ass,
00:09:34especially first round, you know?
00:09:36If somebody don't have nothing to lose first round, they can swing at it,
00:09:38and they either beat you or they don't.
00:09:39It don't matter.
00:09:40So that's the kind of guy Jim Howell is, and I hate drawing somebody like that first round.
00:09:56I feel like we've got the faster car, so drawing Kai is not a bad thing in my eyes,
00:10:00but it is a tough draw first round.
00:10:02I need to gain points.
00:10:03You know, that's the thing.
00:10:04And the only way to do that is to beat the guys at the top.
00:10:08Next pair coming at you right now, I've got Jim Howell in the left lane going up against Kai Kelly.
00:10:23Kai Kelly in the right lane.
00:10:24All right, so Jim Howell gets the win.
00:10:44Kai Kelly goes red.
00:10:45You made a good hit?
00:10:53That tree takes forever for you?
00:10:55Dude, I almost let go of the button.
00:10:58He left before the tree came on.
00:10:59In the light situation, man, I went up there, it's just a long light, I let go.
00:11:04It's one of those things, it sucks, you know?
00:11:07Ain't really nothing you can do about it, just, if he wasn't a grown man, he'd just cry.
00:11:11Or drive off the end of the racetrack or something, but whatever.
00:11:15You just, you can't take it back, you can't fix it.
00:11:17I up.
00:11:18It is what it is.
00:11:19Just on to the next one.
00:11:22That was a long tree.
00:11:23Brain, man.
00:11:24I thought they went to sleep on us.
00:11:26I didn't.
00:11:29All right, next pair, we got Scott Taylor going up against Murder Nova.
00:11:34It's out of control, man.
00:11:36At this point, if you go up there and you're not in your right mind, and you are not ready
00:11:42to do your job flawlessly, you're going to lose.
00:11:46Push it right to the limit each round.
00:11:49As competitive as it can get, man.
00:11:51I draw Scott Taylor.
00:11:52Scott's struggling a little bit right now.
00:11:54I know how fast his combination is, because it's the same combination I have.
00:11:59And I can't take him lightly.
00:12:01Scott's a good racer.
00:12:02He's going to get it figured out.
00:12:13Murder Nova has been killing it.
00:12:14That is a tough draw.
00:12:16You know, we've been stinking a little bit lately.
00:12:17We had a bunch of stuff that just kept biting us.
00:12:20But we found a lot in our program the last couple of passes.
00:12:23I think we're going to put up a good fight.
00:12:24It's going to come down to inches.
00:12:42Murder Nova takes the win.
00:12:44Nice pass there for Sean.
00:12:45You will move on to the next round.
00:12:51I don't know if I let go of the button first, but I got to the finish line first.
00:12:56We made a good pass.
00:12:58It made every bit of the pass that we put in it.
00:13:01We got this win out of the way, on to round two.
00:13:05Nice job, bro.
00:13:07In that slump, dude.
00:13:08Yeah, I made a good way.
00:13:09Yeah, I know.
00:13:09I'm just in that slump.
00:13:18Well, we never raced Paige before, so this will be the first.
00:13:21I don't know if she's fast or not.
00:13:23I don't know.
00:13:24I've only got to see a couple of her runs, but they have to be here.
00:13:26They look good, yeah.
00:13:28We're here at Maple Grove.
00:13:29First round driver's meeting.
00:13:31I drew Paige Coughlin.
00:13:32I've never drawn her before.
00:13:34I've seen her run.
00:13:35It's fast.
00:13:36So, we're not going to take her lightly.
00:13:38Let's do it.
00:13:43Did you hear how long they're all on the two-step?
00:13:45It's a long dream.
00:13:49I'll be good.
00:13:51So, when we went up for a chip draw for round one, we drew Jeff Lutz, and I'm, like, thinking
00:13:54to myself, oh, shoot, okay, you know, he's an OG to this show.
00:13:58You know, my dad knows him, and he's been here, part of this series, for a while.
00:14:06This is going to be a really interesting lap, because I'm the new kid, and we're earning
00:14:10our way in, and making our kind of just, like, proving ourselves.
00:14:14We really need those wind lights to turn on for myself and Team Daddy Dave.
00:14:17We really need to go some rounds today.
00:14:18Like, all of us full send it.
00:14:20All right, next pair, we got Paige Coughlin in the left lane going up against Jeff Lutz in
00:14:31the right.
00:14:31And Paige Coughlin takes the win.
00:15:00A great drag race there.
00:15:02Jeff Lutz was coming, but ran out of room down there at the top end.
00:15:07Woo!
00:15:08Here are you.
00:15:09It felt so good to see my win light turn on against an OG like Jeff Lutz.
00:15:13This car is on fire.
00:15:15They are doing it bright.
00:15:16It is boogying, and it's just, it's mind-blowing to see it all kind of come together, finally,
00:15:21and we're really working well together, and it just feels so good.
00:15:25Man, that was a close one.
00:15:26Good job.
00:15:27Happy for you.
00:15:31So the race with Paige went down, man.
00:15:34I left with her, and I thought I clipped her at the end.
00:15:38It was that close.
00:15:40Man, we just got to figure out what happened.
00:15:42As soon as I look at it, we'll know.
00:15:43I just don't know yet.
00:15:45Man, this thing's a beast.
00:15:47Holy crap.
00:15:48We needed that.
00:15:49Ten more for Team Daddy Dave.
00:15:50Come on, everybody else.
00:15:52Let's roll.
00:15:52All right, next pair.
00:15:55Giuseppe.
00:15:56I'm going up against Nate Taylor.
00:15:58I heard they were struggling a little bit, but I don't really give a who's in the other lane.
00:16:03I don't.
00:16:03See, that's me.
00:16:04It doesn't ever bother me.
00:16:05I just get in there and do my deal.
00:16:06Yep.
00:16:07I'm just going to go.
00:16:08When the light comes on, it could be my sister, and I'd still want to chop her head off.
00:16:12Right.
00:16:12We got Giuseppe, and they've been having a few issues.
00:16:16They got a fast car.
00:16:16They're both Hemi Pro Charger cars, so they're going to be real similar.
00:16:20Obviously, mine's Pro Line powered.
00:16:21His is Noonan powered.
00:16:23We're just going to put a tune-up in it that I know the track will take.
00:16:25We got the left lane, which I think is the better of the two lanes.
00:16:27The right lane's missing a bunch of rubber.
00:16:33But, I mean, realistically, Hemi Pro Charger, Hemi Pro Charger.
00:16:36It's going to be a coin toss, but we're going to give him all he can handle.
00:16:42Invitational today, still working on the car, having some issues, still having backfiring
00:16:48issues through the manifold.
00:16:49We've changed every electrical part on the car, computer, everything, gone through that.
00:16:55Everything's going wrong.
00:16:56We broke the transmission, just having multiple issues.
00:16:59So going into first round is going to be a tough deal for us here.
00:17:02We're going to just try changing more stuff and get back to where we were.
00:17:12We're going to be a tough deal for us here.
00:17:42It was a great run.
00:17:43It was a good race.
00:17:43It was a great run.
00:17:44It was the best run of the weekend.
00:17:47Woo!
00:17:48Yeah.
00:17:50It went good.
00:17:51We leave and go right down Broadway.
00:17:54We made a really good pass.
00:17:55He was right there with me.
00:17:56It was a good race, side by side.
00:17:58I think we ended up winning by about half a car is all.
00:18:00The new transmission's working great.
00:18:02Now we're going to turn it up.
00:18:03Now we know that she'll function and take what we can give her.
00:18:05And we're on to round two.
00:18:07That was a good race.
00:18:08Yeah, it was a good race.
00:18:09I was on at that time.
00:18:10We made it, yeah.
00:18:11That was a good race, yeah.
00:18:13I was like, am I holding?
00:18:14Can I get him?
00:18:15Can I get him?
00:18:15Yeah, you got it, man.
00:18:16That was good.
00:18:17That was a good race.
00:18:18All right, folks.
00:18:19Tony McKinney versus Lizzie Musi coming at you right now.
00:18:23You kicked Tony's ass.
00:18:25Yeah, yeah.
00:18:28Revenge.
00:18:30Yeah.
00:18:30First round, I ended up drawing Tony McKinney, racing him second time in a row.
00:18:37I just raced him in Ohio.
00:18:38He kicked my ass.
00:18:39We are a six pair out, left lane for me.
00:18:41Good luck, we said.
00:18:43It's time to get some revenge.
00:18:45My car needs to start acting right.
00:18:46We feel confident about today.
00:18:48We put a new motor in.
00:18:50It's a little bit more spicier.
00:18:51So we're going to have to just tune for that and hopefully make a good run against him.
00:18:55We're going to have to just tune for that and hopefully make a good run against him.
00:19:25And Tony McKinney goes red.
00:19:37Lizzie Musi is going to take the win there.
00:19:39He would have had it.
00:19:39He would have had it.
00:19:41Golly.
00:19:42You've got to wait for it.
00:19:44Many drivers need to wait.
00:19:47We get on our two steps.
00:19:49It felt like forever before the light dropped and turned green.
00:19:52That's an automatic loss.
00:19:53So I just held on as long as I can until the light was right and left.
00:19:59Right around 330 feet, it shook the tire.
00:20:01So we got lucky this time.
00:20:02If he didn't go red, I definitely would have lost.
00:20:05Honestly, we think the motor's just hopped up.
00:20:07It's fresh and it's, you know, new parts.
00:20:10It's just got a lot more oomph to it, you know?
00:20:13So we got to just tone it down a little bit and get ready for the second round.
00:20:17I was way behind.
00:20:18He just made an A to B run.
00:20:21All right, folks.
00:20:22Next pair of Battle of the Turbos.
00:20:24We got Reaper going up against Dominator.
00:20:26I know.
00:20:29Really?
00:20:29I know.
00:20:30Of all people.
00:20:31I know.
00:20:32I agree.
00:20:32Here, we've been struggling and trying to help each other.
00:20:34Both of us.
00:20:35That's what I just told him.
00:20:37And now we got to race each other?
00:20:38Yep.
00:20:39Well, it is what it is.
00:20:42You kick my ass, you're going to earn it.
00:20:44If I kick yours, I know I earned it.
00:20:47How much you got on that scramble?
00:20:49All of it.
00:20:51It won't put no more in it.
00:20:54That gate is 100% slammed shut.
00:20:57So coming back this season, I took some time, switched it over to Turbos.
00:21:01We're real close on the car, but we're not quite there.
00:21:04We're going in with a semi-fast car, and I have to draw Dominator, one of my best friends,
00:21:09and I have to draw him the first round.
00:21:10But that friendship ends when we pull up to that light.
00:21:19My 405 guy, Reaper.
00:21:24Reaper's no dummy to racing.
00:21:25He's been doing it a long time.
00:21:26He knows his car ain't 100%.
00:21:28He even said that coming into the meeting.
00:21:30Like, hey, look, we ain't got it quite figured out yet, but we're really close.
00:21:33So maybe real close means he's actually really close, and he can make some fast passes.
00:21:49He tried.
00:21:57Hey, he gave it his all.
00:21:59He tried.
00:21:59He gave it his all.
00:21:59He tried.
00:22:01Woo!
00:22:02Good job.
00:22:07Yeah!
00:22:09Woo-hoo!
00:22:10I let go of the brake.
00:22:11It started to shake about 60 feet out, and then it started to pick the front end up.
00:22:15His got a little nasty about the 330, and he said, take off, Coon.
00:22:18I hate it for him, but I'm going to take the win.
00:22:23So it was a good lick.
00:22:25We've got to calm it down a little bit.
00:22:26It was a little mad right there at 60 foot.
00:22:28No, it still moved.
00:22:29That's why I needed one more hit on it.
00:22:31Yeah.
00:22:32But damn in the middle.
00:22:34All right, folks.
00:22:35Next pair coming at you right now.
00:22:36We've got B-Rab going up against Kayla Morton.
00:22:39We've been doing our, putting our 10 points in each week, but we just can't get Praia's first round.
00:22:43Today, we're going to get Pia's first round.
00:22:44I want to put team points on the board.
00:22:46I'm tired of just, like, going out first round.
00:22:48It's just, it's tough.
00:22:50So round one here at Maple Grove Racing, we just drew Kayla Morton.
00:22:53We actually raced her last race first round, and she beat me, so we owe her some redemption.
00:22:58I had a couple pistons vest off.
00:22:59Now we have all new pistons and new tires.
00:23:02But she's got a really good tuner, and she got me tuning in mind.
00:23:04So I don't know how good that is, but we're going to see what happens.
00:23:07I guess it's tough.
00:23:07I'm going to try and see if it works.
00:23:09Please go straight.
00:23:10Please, please go straight.
00:23:12Hey, please go straight.
00:23:14Hey, please, please go straight.
00:23:15Hey, hey.
00:23:16You're going to win.
00:23:18You're going to win.
00:23:20You're going to win.
00:23:21You're going to win.
00:23:22You're going to win.
00:23:23Hey.
00:23:23Team Daddy Dave is looking good for today.
00:23:26The most important part is that we're all consistent.
00:23:28We get through a couple rounds.
00:23:29Last week, Paige and I carried the team.
00:23:31This week, I need the boys to step up and do their part.
00:23:33We're only 100 points behind Kai, and with double points and points and a half coming into play,
00:23:39we still have time to catch them.
00:23:40We just got to do our jobs.
00:23:55This girl is just so temperamental.
00:23:58She is not cooperating right now.
00:24:00We are absolutely on the struggle bus, 100%.
00:24:03We're running out of time.
00:24:04We're feeling the pressure to start doing well.
00:24:06So maybe it's my turn today, and I really need to set my game up here.
00:24:09Kayla Morton takes the win.
00:24:29That was a good race.
00:24:31She had to drive that.
00:24:33Damn.
00:24:33It starts shaking right there.
00:24:34I know.
00:24:36I wasn't going to lose that one.
00:24:38The pass was wild.
00:24:40We took off, and it wagged its tail down the whole way.
00:24:44I was not letting out of that gas pedal, and I threaded that needle right through, and it came out with the win.
00:24:50It was one of those things where I just decided I was going to win no matter what.
00:24:53That was a rough one.
00:24:54That wasn't the same track as yesterday.
00:24:56Yep.
00:24:57Not at all, was it?
00:24:58I was all over the place.
00:25:00That tree was like, I almost flinched because I was like, I'm like, oh, no, no.
00:25:03So long.
00:25:04All right, next pair, and that's going to be Rich Bruder going up against Axeman.
00:25:12Thank you, man.
00:25:14It's imitational day, and I drew Rich Bruder.
00:25:17They've been up and down all season.
00:25:19The car runs good one minute, next minute they struggle.
00:25:21I talked to them yesterday, and they were having a wiring issue.
00:25:24So going into this first round, it'll be interesting to see if they get that car figured out.
00:25:29You got the models on or not yet?
00:25:30Not yet.
00:25:31I got it.
00:25:32You can put them on.
00:25:32I want to get down there.
00:25:33I'm going to turn them off.
00:25:34All right.
00:25:35Last race, we had a mishap.
00:25:37We popped the burst panels on the blower.
00:25:39So normally when that happens, there's a misfire happening in the motor.
00:25:44The burst panel is a piece of thin metal that's designed to protect the blower or the intake manifold
00:25:50in case the engine backfires.
00:25:57We put a fresh motor in, got it all ready.
00:26:00The car's ready, the crew's ready, and like I said, we're going to go up there and make a race out of it.
00:26:20All right.
00:26:21Next pair over in that right lane, that's going to be Rich Bruder going up against it.
00:26:25Axe man.
00:26:26Rich Bruder takes a stab on the green, goes green.
00:26:48Good job, buddy.
00:26:49Good job.
00:26:50Oh, man.
00:26:51He guessed the f***.
00:26:52So Rich Bruder takes the win.
00:26:53Woo!
00:26:55Did you see that?
00:26:56I love it.
00:26:57Oh, my God.
00:26:57Holy f***.
00:26:58Gun gasser.
00:26:59Hey, and then I thought after all that, you're going to let him come around you at the end.
00:27:04I thought for sure he was coming around me.
00:27:06I went, oh, no.
00:27:08Don't come around me.
00:27:09Ah, I know.
00:27:11Damn, damn, damn.
00:27:14Oh, my goodness.
00:27:16Damn.
00:27:18Going into racing Rich, I knew that car had been giving him some trouble, and my car's been flying,
00:27:22especially after last night they seen them passes.
00:27:25I told myself, I said, if I was Rich, I'd take a shot at that light.
00:27:29And that was in my mind, thinking, like, he was probably going to do that.
00:27:32So as the green come on, I seen him going by the 60-foot mark.
00:27:37I said, damn, he took a shot at it.
00:27:40We crossed the finish line, and he had me by a couple feet.
00:27:43So apparently, he caught that light.
00:27:44I got that lost.
00:27:46That was a good guess.
00:27:48Guess?
00:27:48You're damn right that was a guess.
00:27:52With all the problems y'all had, I said, he's going to guess.
00:27:54I really didn't guess, bud.
00:27:56You're a lying son of a bitch.
00:27:58I promise you.
00:28:01It was a good one, brother.
00:28:03Damn it.
00:28:04I was up on the tree.
00:28:05I didn't know I didn't guess.
00:28:06They can say what they want.
00:28:07When light came on, we got some work to do.
00:28:10We're going to get back in the pit.
00:28:11I've got to change some burst panels on the blower and get ready for the next round.
00:28:16He said he didn't guess.
00:28:19Your bulbs are out before the green light came on.
00:28:21It can't be.
00:28:22All right, next pair, that is going to be Cali Bills going up against David Gates.
00:28:30What do you think, Adam?
00:28:31I think I'm going to take the run we made yesterday when it was warm out, clean it up, clean the engine up, and run to the finish line.
00:28:39Turned the sixth on in about three seconds, so about 3-6.
00:28:42Let her rip.
00:28:43We're going to go out here.
00:28:44We've got Cali Bills.
00:28:45I think we get down to the other end first, and we get past that first round, and that's always the most nervous to me is the first round.
00:28:51Once I get past the first round, I'm good the rest of the day.
00:28:54So, you know, Cali's fast, but she's going to have to put a fast run together to outrun us in this car.
00:28:58First round chip draw, I drew David Gates.
00:29:10I raced him last weekend.
00:29:11He didn't make it down the track, but I'm sure they've gotten their stuff figured out and went and tested and things like that as well as we did.
00:29:17So, it should be a good race.
00:29:28And David Gates takes the win.
00:29:44What a drag race there.
00:29:45Looked like it shook a little bit.
00:29:47Gates able to pull out the W.
00:29:49Nice job.
00:29:53This is a spark plug.
00:29:55Not good.
00:29:56You're not supposed to have pieces falling out.
00:29:57It actually started coming apart at about two seconds into the run.
00:30:04Essentially there, after that, I was running off seven cylinders.
00:30:07I think I still gave David a pretty good run just being on seven cylinders.
00:30:11I think definitely if I would have had all eight, it would have been no problems.
00:30:15Great, always racing with y'all.
00:30:16I know.
00:30:17It's always a fun time, you know?
00:30:19Yeah.
00:30:20All right, next pair, that is going to be Brandon James going up against Bobby Jacote.
00:30:24This damn thing has shook on me every pass of the last ten passes.
00:30:28That shaking hurts, dude.
00:30:32It's hard on you.
00:30:32It's hard on the car.
00:30:36It's hard on my fat ass in here.
00:30:38Got a whole new car, a whole new hot ride day.
00:30:40It's getting faster and faster and faster.
00:30:42And whether people want to admit or not, this car is a couple months old now.
00:30:45We're still having a new car, Blue.
00:30:54Got to do what we got to do to keep them running and keep them together.
00:30:57Getting here is half the battle.
00:30:58Race is half the battle.
00:30:59So whooping ass is another half the battle.
00:31:00And Brandon James takes the win.
00:31:28Great drag race there between both those guys.
00:31:30That was a drag race right there, Hollis.
00:31:33Good job, boy.
00:31:34Good job.
00:31:37We're getting better and better every weekend, so we just got to keep up the consistency.
00:31:41And hopefully we go several rounds today.
00:31:44We kind of need to, we're at the bottom of not having to race our way in, like 24 or something.
00:31:4824 is the cutoff, so we're tired of having to worry if we're in every week or not.
00:31:53So it's time to make us some ground this weekend.
00:31:56All right, next pair coming at you, we got John Odom and going up against Robin Roberts.
00:32:02You know, Robin won the grade eight last night, so we know that car's fast.
00:32:06We know this car's fast, so it's going to come down to driver on this pass.
00:32:09We'll see how it goes, and we'll make the best blue car win.
00:32:11I'm coming off of the grade eight win.
00:32:25The car's running fantastic.
00:32:27It's smooth and buttery, just the way it should be.
00:32:32John and I have a history, but you know, when he's up, he's tough to beat.
00:32:35So if he makes a hero pass, we may be in trouble.
00:32:38It's going to be a hell of a challenge.
00:32:57John Odom will take the win there if something happens to Robin Roberts' car.
00:33:00Hey, we got three in.
00:33:02Don't matter.
00:33:02Let's go.
00:33:03All right, next pair.
00:33:05That's going to be Larry Larson going up against Daddy Day.
00:33:09Larson, first round, 13th pair.
00:33:12Winnable.
00:33:14Don't say very, because I'm going to trip on my thing in that hand.
00:33:18Very low on it.
00:33:20The last time we raced Larson, I got the win on that deal.
00:33:22But in Vegas, he went to the final, so he's not a duck.
00:33:27Like, the car's fast, and we got a fast out ride, so hopefully I can beat him again.
00:33:32So last week, after hurting the motor, refreshing the motor up, all new stuff in it, I feel real good.
00:33:40Like, we made a really fast pass last night.
00:33:42The car's back to where it was.
00:33:44I won grade 8 here a few years ago.
00:33:45Well, I'm hoping we can just pull up an imitational one today.
00:34:00We won this race here five years ago, I think it was, in 2018.
00:34:04So I'd sure like to do it again this weekend.
00:34:06I just need to do my job, not be late, get past first round, and move on.
00:34:23All right, over in that right lane, backing up the Cadillac.
00:34:26That's going to be Larry Larson going up against Daddy Big in that outing.
00:34:30Daddy Dave going to take the win there, driving it.
00:34:52Car makes a hard move towards the center line.
00:34:54Dave, driving that thing, takes the win.
00:34:57Nice job.
00:34:59I mean, not that you can see his marks out there over everybody else's.
00:35:02I mean, you know.
00:35:03That looks horrible, but nice job.
00:35:05That looked terrible.
00:35:06But he was worse.
00:35:08Round one, curse, out the window.
00:35:11All right, next pair of battles of blower cars here, folks.
00:35:14That's going to be Chuck 55 going up against Disco Dean.
00:35:19And we meet again.
00:35:21This is like three times.
00:35:22This is it.
00:35:23It's tiebreaker.
00:35:24And then we'll dodge each other the rest of the season.
00:35:26There you go.
00:35:26That's all we need to do.
00:35:27Good luck out there, buddy.
00:35:28Yeah, same to you, bud.
00:35:29I just ran Chuck 55 last week, first round.
00:35:33He blew his up, but he beat me.
00:35:35So today, I hope we don't blow up, but we're going to try to get to win light, get redemption.
00:35:50Obviously, we haven't been doing good this year, so we needed to test.
00:35:52We stayed over Sunday at Dragway 42.
00:35:55Unfortunately, the car got away from me.
00:35:57I wrecked and hit the wall.
00:35:58We got the car fixed.
00:35:59We got the fiberglass done, header, zoomy, lower control arm, rocker panel, quarter panel,
00:36:04wheel tub.
00:36:05Now that it's here and it's back together, we need to turn some wind lights on.
00:36:08I know it's late, and we've been struggling, but it's time to turn the season around.
00:36:12And Chuck Parker gets the win.
00:36:32Nice job.
00:36:33All right, folks, next pair coming at you.
00:36:36Battle of the teammates.
00:36:37He's going to be Jerry Bird against Ryan Martin.
00:36:43It's a lot of pressure, man.
00:36:45Not just racing the captain, but racing Ryan.
00:36:48The good news is I made it an Invitational.
00:36:52I'm on a new team, as you all know.
00:36:54I'm on Ryan Martin's team.
00:36:55But I'm a god damn try to put him on the trail.
00:36:58Hope to turn a new page.
00:37:00I hope my luck's changing and, you know, we're heading in the right direction.
00:37:03As a team championship, we dropped to number five this week.
00:37:29But we're ten points behind the other three that are in front of us.
00:37:32So it's a very close, tight race.
00:37:35Problem, though, I drew my teammate again for two weekends in a row.
00:37:39Last weekend, it was Robin Roberts.
00:37:41This weekend is my new teammate, Jerry Bird.
00:37:52Jerry Bird's got a potentially brutally nasty fast car that I can tell you that probably 20 drivers here are smart enough to be scared of.
00:38:01And I'm one of those.
00:38:02Jerry Bird goes red, gives the win to Ryan Martin.
00:38:21Over in that left lane, Jerry Bird does not wait on the light, goes red.
00:38:28He didn't get the memo.
00:38:31Anybody gonna guess it's Jerry Bird.
00:38:33Jerry Bird, you're gonna take a shot on me.
00:38:51Get him on my team.
00:38:52Bull takes a shot on me.
00:38:53What'd you take a shot for, man?
00:38:56You didn't need to do it.
00:38:58Not only did you not need to do it, but you hurt my feelings, too.
00:39:00No, I was trying the red light.
00:39:02Oh, okay.
00:39:03Well, you did.
00:39:04Jerry jumps against everyone.
00:39:05But I didn't want the perception to the other teams to go, oh, well, he gave it to him because he's on his team now.
00:39:10I wanted to see, did we make any progress with this car or not?
00:39:13It wasn't as fast as what we went, so it probably would have went this way anyway.
00:39:16But it doesn't matter.
00:39:17It would have been nice to see a good, nice, close race.
00:39:19I wasn't trying to beat you.
00:39:21Well, why?
00:39:22Just, you know, on a race like that, I want you to try to beat him.
00:39:26I know, but I mean, I feel like you're gonna bet a car right now to win this, to go further.
00:39:32If that's what you did, I'm a little upset with you because I never would ever, ever, ever, ever want you to do that.
00:39:38Sucks, yeah.
00:39:39All right, next pair coming at you right now over in the left lane.
00:39:46That's going to be Clay Cole going up against Damon Merchant.
00:40:00I got Damon Merchant, 16th pair to go down the track.
00:40:04So that makes me feel a little better because there's going to be quite a bit of rubber down the track.
00:40:07So, but Damon's a fast car, as everybody knows.
00:40:11We got our hands full, so we're going to have to tighten up the ship a little bit.
00:40:14We're going to have to put a better tune-up in it, and we're just going to have to go A to B.
00:40:23We drew Clay Cole, and he's a tough draw.
00:40:26The dude looks like he's been hauling ass.
00:40:27He put Kai out first round last week, so he is definitely somebody to keep your eye on and not look past for sure.
00:40:34Every round counts, and every race, how you start out counts.
00:40:39So, you know, it's good to have four in.
00:40:42No time, like right now, to get in there and start, you know, kicking some ass, going some rounds,
00:40:47and gathering up some team points, because this thing ain't over yet.
00:40:50All right, so Clay Cole will take the win there.
00:41:14Damon Merchant, not sure what happened,
00:41:16but ends up leaving before the tree drops.
00:41:24Being in this better air, put more power into it today.
00:41:28I went in, got the first bulb on.
00:41:31He comes in, I get my second.
00:41:34But it took him a little while to get that second one in, so I came off the throttle,
00:41:37and when I went to stick it again, it caught a lunge forward, and, you know, the race was over by then.
00:41:43I just rolled out, tried to make, you know, do the walk of shame down the track,
00:41:46and he makes a killer pass, and it's a day over for us.
00:41:51Sorry you had problems, brother.
00:41:53I wish it would have been a race.
00:41:54I don't like taking a win like that.
00:41:55No, no, no.
00:41:56I was really looking...
00:41:57I thought you could get a good race with you up here.
00:41:58Oh, yeah.
00:41:59I'm sorry, brother.
00:42:00I'm good.
00:42:01If you need anything from me, let me know.
00:42:03Appreciate it.
00:42:04We saw a lot of big names go down in round one today.
00:42:08Kai Kelly, Damon Merchant, and Giuseppe Gentile, just to name a few.
00:42:13Those guys are threats to win every weekend, so having them out of the race is a big deal.
00:42:18All right, we're going to go ahead and draw chips now, ladies.
00:42:20Please step forward.
00:42:26Okay, there we go.
00:42:27Nice job, nice job, nice job.
00:42:29Fellas, fellas, fellas.
00:42:34All right, my number ones, we're going to be Rich Bruder versus David Gates.
00:42:41All right, number twos, we're going to be Brandon James versus Justin Swanstrom.
00:42:46Number threes, it's going to be Jim Howe versus Lizzie Music.
00:42:50All right, number four, it's going to be Dominator versus Daddy Dave.
00:42:56Number five, Slay Cole versus Ryan Martin.
00:43:02Number six, Chuck 55 versus Murder Nova.
00:43:06Pair number seven, it's going to be Paige Coughlin and Kayla Morton.
00:43:12Damn it.
00:43:12Which means our eighth and final pair will be John Odom versus Nate Saylor.
00:43:18All right, drivers, you know who you're racing.
00:43:21You know what you've got to do.
00:43:21Go back to the pits, get your cars turned around, bring them into the station lanes.
00:43:25We need to give someone $40,000 at some point today.
00:43:28All right, let's do it.
00:43:34Coming at you right now.
00:43:37That is going to be Rich Bruder driving the jackal.
00:43:40Going up against David Gates.
00:43:43What do y'all got?
00:43:45Uh, Bruder.
00:43:47Man, did they get it ready?
00:43:48They knocked the ball or something?
00:43:49I don't know, I ain't heard.
00:43:51But we're ready.
00:43:51You know me, I don't like to be late and I like to sit here forever.
00:43:55We, uh, something's going on, we're having some electrical issue and it keeps misfiring
00:44:02the motor.
00:44:02So it's banging in and out going down the track with full boost in there.
00:44:05So it pisses the motor off.
00:44:07First round, we pop the burst panels on the blower.
00:44:10Get back to the pit, rip the blower off the motor, put new burst panels on it and got it
00:44:14ready for the next round.
00:44:15You know, they're waiting for us up there to start line.
00:44:17You know, it's a lot of work between rounds and get ready for the next round.
00:44:22Can I feel?
00:44:24See, Rich Bruder just got here in the burnout box.
00:44:27Going to get suited up real quick.
00:44:29Get in the car and then we will go racing.
00:44:32Yeah, you know, my team, I've got another guy in.
00:44:47I've got Rich Bruder, which is awesome.
00:44:49So there's, you know, there's two of us in.
00:44:51It means we're making points.
00:44:52We're getting our team points towards the team championship.
00:44:55We're in a good spot.
00:44:56Not that it's a huge move, but that's at least 20 points.
00:44:59That's good for us.
00:45:07We're having some type of electrical issue.
00:45:09The car goes out and starts misfiring.
00:45:11So that's the issue we're having.
00:45:12So we're doing our best to figure it out.
00:45:17All right, so they put it on a two-minute clock now.
00:45:19Rich Bruder shut it off.
00:45:20David Gates has put them on a two-minute clock.
00:45:22He's got two minutes to stage.
00:45:29David Gates shakes, has to get out of it.
00:45:58So Rich Bruder will take the win.
00:46:01Bruder Brothers, they've been working on that car since they got here.
00:46:04Go up there, they're 10 minutes late to the car, sitting in the car, you know.
00:46:08And then I do a burnout and you still ain't ready and we're having to shut the cars off.
00:46:12The car's heating up.
00:46:13They don't even tell us they're broke for however long.
00:46:15Oh, we're with it, working on it.
00:46:17And then we go out here and we, you know, the car's too damn hot to make the run and we're trying to make the run.
00:46:27Get your fixed and get it out of here.
00:46:29If it ain't fixed, don't bring it to the lanes.
00:46:31And I can tell you from this point forward, no more nice guy for me.
00:46:34I don't give a who it is.
00:46:35I don't care if it's my team captain, Kai Kelly.
00:46:38I'm here to win.
00:46:40What happened, bud?
00:46:41Blow the tires off.
00:46:45Dude, I'm sorry, bro.
00:46:46I appreciate you waiting.
00:46:49Pop the blower again.
00:46:50Damn it.
00:46:52We took the wind light, but we had the same issue we had the round before.
00:46:55It popped the burst panel on the blower.
00:46:58Let's get the blower and valve covers.
00:47:04There's a lot of oil.
00:47:05That one clamp I put on came off, so that's where oil is all over the place.
00:47:09We're going to take the blower off.
00:47:11So we have a lot of work to do to get ready for the next round.
00:47:18So this pair right here, battle of the blower cards.
00:47:21Justin Swanson going up against Brandon James.
00:47:28Ready?
00:47:29We're going up.
00:47:30We got Brandon James, second round.
00:47:32Let's see if we can get after it.
00:47:34It's the hottest point of the day, so the track is going to be the trickiest right now.
00:47:37If we can get through this round, these next couple rounds, the tracks start cooling down,
00:47:42cars are going to start going faster, and we'll be able to start getting after it, too.
00:47:44All right.
00:48:08Justin Swanson will take the win.
00:48:10Nice job there, doing a little bit of driving.
00:48:13Swanson moving on to the third round.
00:48:15Way to go.
00:48:19All right.
00:48:20Next pair coming at you right now.
00:48:21I've got Jim Howell going up against Lizzie Musi.
00:48:23Second round, and end up drawing Jim Howell.
00:48:30Definitely have to be on our game to run Jim.
00:48:32His car is fast.
00:48:33And I feel like it's a little warmer this round, so I wanted to get after it a little bit more
00:48:38in the front half of the run, and my dad didn't.
00:48:40He said it was too hot, but I felt like now the air is, like, a little bit worse than earlier,
00:48:46and I felt like it's going to need that extra power to leave the line.
00:48:51So it's just crossing fingers, and hopefully he's going to make a run against him.
00:49:02You know, three of us went in the second round.
00:49:06Jim did well, taking out Kai Kelly.
00:49:08I mean, there's some heavy hitters that's already gone, but there's still heavy hitters that's in.
00:49:12Hopefully we can go ahead and gain some ground and figure out if we can go ahead and, you know,
00:49:18pull up a couple spots.
00:49:19That's what we need.
00:49:21Jim Howey will take the win.
00:49:37Nice job.
00:49:38I'm on the next one.
00:49:44I've gone 204 on that pass.
00:49:46Really?
00:49:46I'm telling you, he's fast.
00:49:50Sure enough, I was right about being too slow off the hip.
00:49:54Light turns green.
00:49:55We both leave.
00:49:56I felt like I had him just by a little bit.
00:49:58I'd say 330 feet.
00:49:59It's just kind of, like, all over.
00:50:00Not happy, and I'm not going to take a chance of getting crazy out there.
00:50:05So I just, I lifted, and Jim got the win.
00:50:08Good run, girl.
00:50:09Good race.
00:50:10You're hauling ass.
00:50:11I know.
00:50:11We're trying.
00:50:12I feel like there's, like, a miscommunication or something.
00:50:15But, like, I know my dad's got this.
00:50:19So, I don't know.
00:50:20We're going to figure out the next race.
00:50:21Just need a little look.
00:50:22Yeah.
00:50:24Same.
00:50:24Yep.
00:50:25All right.
00:50:27Next pair, Dominator, going up against Daddy Dave.
00:50:33Hey.
00:50:34Hey.
00:50:35You think, baby?
00:50:36Always.
00:50:36Right?
00:50:38Second round, imitation of that Dominator.
00:50:40I hate racing 405, guys.
00:50:42We've been together since day one.
00:50:43It's just, it's hard putting your, you know, four or five guy in a trailer.
00:50:46We have been battling with bending throttle blades.
00:51:01We do the burnout.
00:51:02The idle wants to go up.
00:51:04The gas pedal dropped to the floor.
00:51:06Throttle Lincoln, we've got to push it back.
00:51:09I knew what it was.
00:51:11I killed the car.
00:51:12My daughter is running down there to line me up,
00:51:14and I'm yelling for her to get help.
00:51:17Dave being the racer that he is,
00:51:19he's not taking a win like that.
00:51:20I have two minutes.
00:51:22He shut his off and never said,
00:51:24you've got two minutes, nothing.
00:51:25Just get your car back here.
00:51:26We got it back.
00:51:27Pop the front clip off.
00:51:28Pop the throttle blade connector back on.
00:51:31And we're in.
00:51:32All right.
00:51:33Looks like Dominator, good to go.
00:51:44And Daddy Dave takes the win.
00:52:04That was a great drag race there.
00:52:06Love you, Joe.
00:52:07Love you, man.
00:52:08All right, folks.
00:52:09Battle of the Hemi Pro Chargers.
00:52:12Clay Cole going up against Ryan Martin.
00:52:17I drew Ryan Martin.
00:52:19I got a lot of respect for him.
00:52:20He's a fast car.
00:52:22He's a good guy.
00:52:25Same combination as I have.
00:52:27So it's going to be a good race.
00:52:28It's going to come down to who gets who on the tree.
00:52:31It's going to be a good race.
00:52:32All right, let's do a good burn-out.
00:52:36Let's cut a good light.
00:52:37Let's get it to the stripe, baby.
00:52:37Let's go one round at a time right here, baby.
00:52:40Clay Cole has proved to be one of the faster guys this year.
00:52:42He's on Kai's team, but he's done the dirty work for us
00:52:45and taken Kai out a couple times.
00:52:47So his car's fast.
00:52:54Do you feel the air that comes out of there?
00:52:58It's a very similar combination to this car.
00:53:00I know it pretty well.
00:53:02It has the potential to be a frontrunner.
00:53:04It has the potential to win an event.
00:53:06We can't take him lightly.
00:53:07We've got to give him everything we've got.
00:53:20All right, folks, this next pair right here
00:53:22is going to be a battle with the Pro Charge cars
00:53:24over the left lane.
00:53:25Clay Cole, first-in Camaro,
00:53:27going up against Ryan Martin in the right lane.
00:53:32Ryan Martin right down to Broadway, gets the win.
00:53:49Nice job.
00:53:50Clay Cole rattles the tires hard.
00:53:54You good?
00:53:54Yeah.
00:53:56Shook the tires.
00:53:56Ah.
00:53:57Where at?
00:53:59About 60 foot.
00:54:01It's not the way I want to lose to you, but congratulations.
00:54:05Not the way I want to beat you either.
00:54:06I know, brother.
00:54:07I know.
00:54:08You know, we vowed to race the racetrack.
00:54:11Not necessarily the guys.
00:54:12We're trying to go as fast as we can on this racetrack every round,
00:54:15and that's what we did, and it paid off.
00:54:17I was hoping to give you a good race, brother.
00:54:18I'm sure it would have been.
00:54:19I've been worried to run racing, yeah.
00:54:21I'm sure your car's fast.
00:54:22On to round three.
00:54:24All right, next pair.
00:54:25We got Shook, 55, going up against Murder Nova.
00:54:29Man, hey, what's good is we know what number it's going to take,
00:54:33and it's whoever can get the number to stick.
00:54:35I just don't know about the track, man.
00:54:36Yeah, it's going to be worse now than it was while I was good.
00:54:38I know.
00:54:40Both the cars are fast.
00:54:41We've talked about this all week, man.
00:54:42I know it.
00:54:42I know it.
00:54:43We've talked about this all week.
00:54:44We know what we run.
00:54:45Yep.
00:54:45We just got to be able to do it.
00:54:46We just got to be able to get it now.
00:54:47Yep.
00:54:48So round two, it's bound to happen.
00:54:50We get Shook, 55.
00:54:52When you're teammates with somebody, you share a lot of information.
00:54:55I know what Shook runs just like Shook knows what I run.
00:54:58So whoever gets more aggressive with the tune-up
00:55:00and the track actually holds it, that's who's going to win this race.
00:55:04So not what we wanted out of everybody.
00:55:18I mean, we drew each other.
00:55:19Both of us made some pretty good hits.
00:55:20We both know what number it's going to take to run it.
00:55:22So it's going to be whoever can get that number down the track today.
00:55:26We're going to put what we think the track is going to handle
00:55:28and see if we can pull this W out.
00:55:30And Murder Nova.
00:55:52Murder Nova gets the win.
00:55:53He will move on.
00:55:54We let go of the button.
00:56:00They were more aggressive with their tune-up,
00:56:02and the track didn't hold it.
00:56:05Sucks nobody else on my team made it.
00:56:07But when you race a teammate like I just raced Chuck,
00:56:10the good thing you can think about is one of us is going on
00:56:13to get points for the team.
00:56:15So I'm not sure where that's going to land us.
00:56:17I haven't even looked to see what all teams made it in.
00:56:21But hopefully we stay in third.
00:56:23Roll on, man.
00:56:25We'll see what we can do.
00:56:28All right, next pair is going to be Paige Coughlin
00:56:30going up against Kayla Morton.
00:56:33Good luck, babe.
00:56:38Love you.
00:56:40Good luck.
00:56:40Be safe.
00:56:41See you on the other end.
00:56:42All righty, sounds good.
00:56:43Round two, drew Paige.
00:56:46Hate that I drew her.
00:56:47But no matter what,
00:56:48one person from Team Daddy Dave here advances
00:56:50and continues to accumulate points for our team.
00:57:03What can I say?
00:57:04Me and Paige got strong shoulders the last couple weeks.
00:57:07I believe in Paige, okay?
00:57:08She's like my little sister at this point.
00:57:10But today is about determination and grit for me.
00:57:14So I'm just refusing to lose today.
00:57:16I'm just going to keep that mindset all day long.
00:57:31All right, so Paige Coughlin going to get the wind.
00:57:33Uh-oh.
00:57:44I think he's going to need fire rescue down at the end of the track.
00:57:48Looks like Paige Coughlin got into the wall down there
00:57:51on the shutdown.
00:57:53No!
00:57:54You okay?
00:57:59You okay?
00:58:00Yeah.
00:58:01All right.
00:58:02Sorry.
00:58:02I've got to get it out of my system.
00:58:07Hey.
00:58:10Hey, no, it's okay.
00:58:11It didn't hurt.
00:58:12All right.
00:58:12It didn't hit very hard.
00:58:14I'm good.
00:58:15It did not hit very hard.
00:58:18She was good.
00:58:21I won.
00:58:25Thanks.
00:58:26We get up there.
00:58:27She ended up going red.
00:58:30Car made an absolute beautiful lap.
00:58:32But as soon as we crossed the finish line,
00:58:34kicked the rods out of it.
00:58:35Oil everywhere.
00:58:37I felt it sliding.
00:58:39We hit the wall.
00:58:43Me as a driver, hit the wall like that just breaks my heart.
00:58:47And I really want to get this thing fixed up.
00:58:49But we did turn on the wind light.
00:58:50So I'll take that wind.
00:58:54You good?
00:58:55I'm good.
00:58:55I want to go race again.
00:58:56What do you need?
00:58:58I think we're just doing some cosmetic stuff and put the,
00:59:01you're getting what you want.
00:59:01We're putting the AMA Sherman.
00:59:03Thankfully, we got a spare motor in the trailer
00:59:05that Daddy Day's been asking us to put in every single race.
00:59:09So he's getting his wish.
00:59:10But we're okay.
00:59:12I think this is fixable.
00:59:13And we're going to try to go back up for third round
00:59:15because we really want to win this thing.
00:59:16I love it.
00:59:20I love it.
00:59:23All right, folks.
00:59:24Next pair, Don Odom going up against Nate Saylor.
00:59:31Your main's fine.
00:59:32Your main's fine.
00:59:33Okay.
00:59:34Okay.
00:59:35I'm going to change the suit up.
00:59:37Okay.
00:59:37Let's go, babe.
00:59:39Then, of course, I go to chip draw, draw Nate Saylor.
00:59:42He beat me last weekend.
00:59:43I want some revenge, so we got 500 bucks on it.
00:59:47Make it up there and just give it a run for his money.
00:59:49We got him for a nice little piece.
00:59:51We're going to try to clip his ass, man.
00:59:53Do your thing, sir.
00:59:54So going into second round here,
00:59:56I'm the only one left on Team Bodhi.
00:59:58So there's a lot of pressure on me
00:59:59to keep going around so we can stay up there.
01:00:02And Nate Saylor gets the win, moves on the next round.
01:00:19Got him on the tree.
01:00:20All right, folks.
01:00:26We're going to go ahead and start our
01:00:27invitational third round drivers meeting.
01:00:30Starts now.
01:00:31We started with 32.
01:00:33We are now down to eight.
01:00:36We've got Ryan, Team Dave, and Team Swanstrom
01:00:39all standing strong with two drivers remaining.
01:00:43Also, a little fun fact, Dave and Paige,
01:00:46if y'all can go to the finals,
01:00:47you'll be within 20 points of Team Kai Kelly for first place.
01:00:52Where's he at?
01:00:52Give us a chance to make a comeback.
01:00:53Because he is out.
01:00:54This team is out.
01:00:56All right?
01:00:57All right.
01:00:58Well, hey, Paige, go ahead and step up.
01:00:59Ladies first for drawing out of this bucket.
01:01:03All right, Jets.
01:01:09Damn, dude.
01:01:09I've got to stop this number one.
01:01:10All right, number one, step forward.
01:01:18It's going to be Rich Bruder versus Jim Powell.
01:01:21Number two, Paige Coughlin and Daddy Dave.
01:01:25At least one Team Daddy Dave driver will move on to the semifinals.
01:01:29That's one way to look at it.
01:01:30All right, number three.
01:01:32Ryan Martin versus Murder Nova.
01:01:36Wow.
01:01:36Fast race.
01:01:37Which means our fourth and final pair will be Nate Saylor versus Justin Swanstrom.
01:01:43All right.
01:01:44Well, drivers, you know who you got.
01:01:45You know what you got to do.
01:01:46Go back to the pits.
01:01:47Get your cars turned around.
01:01:48Bring them in the lanes.
01:01:49Let's do it.
01:01:58Round three coming at you right now.
01:02:00We've got Jim Howlin going up against Rich Bruder.
01:02:04Let's get the ball on first.
01:02:05I tried popping the blower this time.
01:02:11The gasket's out and the studs are broke.
01:02:15Right here, right here?
01:02:16Yeah.
01:02:17Mabel Grove, round three.
01:02:18We've been fighting some issues with the car.
01:02:21We're going down the track and the burst panel keeps popping.
01:02:24Sometimes it just pops the burst panel, but sometimes it can do more damage than that.
01:02:28So we've been lucky to come back and put new burst panels in the motor.
01:02:31We got to do that ground wire for the cam sink.
01:02:34We have the crew over here working.
01:02:35It's a Robin's crew, and Ryan's crew was there helping us out.
01:02:38It was a team effort to get the car back up there ready for the next round.
01:02:47I don't know.
01:02:48Let's shut off.
01:02:54Where you going for now?
01:02:55I tried to do a burnout, and the car just dies.
01:03:07So I tried it again, and it did the same thing.
01:03:19I've been racing for a while.
01:03:22It ain't hard to do a burnout in a big tire or a water.
01:03:24So I knew there was some type of an issue.
01:03:26Sort of locked up in the converter.
01:03:28And somehow, I guess from the blower popping every time, the map sensor got unplugged.
01:03:33So it's just a line.
01:03:34So the extra boost came there, and it broke the fitting.
01:03:37All right, so here we go.
01:03:39Invitational round three coming at you right now.
01:03:41I've got Jim Howland, Leslie, and Rich Brooder unable to make the call.
01:04:04Woo!
01:04:07Well, that was probably the slowest winning pass in the history of MPK.
01:04:13I just decided to drive it down through there.
01:04:15I mean, it doesn't do us any good to go out there and make a killer lick and hurt a part
01:04:20or take a chance on tearing something up.
01:04:22So on to the next round.
01:04:25All right, our next pair coming up is going to be Paige Coughlin going up against Daddy Dave.
01:04:29Take your time.
01:04:31Okay.
01:04:31Take your time.
01:04:32Johnny, give us a second.
01:04:33You guys, take your time.
01:04:34Okay.
01:04:35No, I don't give a
01:04:35your time.
01:04:37Keep dropping them, buddy.
01:04:38Johnny.
01:04:39Yeah.
01:04:39He's on that other car and drop.
01:04:41Hold on.
01:04:41I'll pass.
01:04:41Thank you, Johnny.
01:04:47So help fix her car.
01:04:49This is our teammate.
01:04:50Yeah.
01:04:50And how we drew her.
01:04:51Yes.
01:04:53That's terrible.
01:04:54Yeah.
01:04:55That sucks.
01:04:57Third round Invitational, I've drawn Paige, my own teammate.
01:05:01In one hand, it sucks to draw your teammate, but in the other hand, it's one of our teams
01:05:05going on to the fourth round.
01:05:07Paige just kicked the rods out of her motor, spun the car around, tapped the wall with it.
01:05:13To swap a motor out and to be confident, the tuner's just got to know what he's doing
01:05:16and put a tune up in that thing and make it all last.
01:05:21And Daddy Dave takes the long way down to the finish line, but gets the win.
01:05:43All right, folks.
01:05:44This pair right here is going to be a great one.
01:05:47It's going to be Ryan Martin and Murder Nova.
01:05:50That was a terrible draw.
01:05:52Always is.
01:05:53Just to let you know.
01:05:54I can't draw, man.
01:05:55And you know what?
01:05:56I didn't even draw.
01:05:58You took the last one?
01:05:59I took the last chip in the bag.
01:06:00Oh, man.
01:06:01And I looked directly at Ryan and I went, and he goes, and I went, and I went,
01:06:05obviously, I'd have raced anybody else up there before I wanted to race Ryan.
01:06:10No, it wasn't his favorite draw either, I promise you.
01:06:13It's tough because we know what each other runs.
01:06:16We test with each other.
01:06:18We share all of our data together, you know?
01:06:20But at that point, you just got to put some fast stuff in it and hope your lane holds it.
01:06:29Unfortunately, my draw is Murder Nova.
01:06:31I know how good his car runs.
01:06:33He knows how good my car runs.
01:06:35All we can do is do, you know, just do the best we can.
01:06:37That's what we're going to do.
01:06:55Ryan Martin takes the win.
01:06:57What a drag race.
01:06:58That was close at the other end.
01:07:01My gosh.
01:07:03Ryan Martin moves on.
01:07:05We let off the button, and it was a drag race.
01:07:10Couldn't have been any closer than what it was.
01:07:15He made a good run, I made a good run, and we got outran.
01:07:19He's coming around me, too.
01:07:20Close, man.
01:07:21We're off to the semis, which is great for us because we haven't,
01:07:24we've only been to the semis one other time this year, and it was at the qualifier.
01:07:28What did you do?
01:07:29Did you get a lot more engine?
01:07:31Yeah, I bet it.
01:07:31All right, folks, this will be the final pair here in this third round.
01:07:34And that's going to be Nate Saylor going up against Justin Swanstrom.
01:07:40When mine goes down the track, it's literally doing this, getting happy.
01:07:46I should bend that back up.
01:07:47I'd be scared of that.
01:07:47I ain't going to lie.
01:07:48Huh?
01:07:49I'd be scared.
01:07:49I'd be pulled under the car or something.
01:07:52I would have made that probably a little bit stronger.
01:07:54Well, next year it will be.
01:07:57Round three here in Maple Grove, we got Justin Swanstrom.
01:07:59I feel pretty good about it, man.
01:08:01I really don't care who we got.
01:08:02This car runs so good right now.
01:08:14Track's getting hotter, so traction isn't as good.
01:08:17It gets slimy.
01:08:18So we're going to put a tune-up in it that we know will go,
01:08:20and we're going to go try and put that W and keep gaining points.
01:08:22And Nate Saylor takes the win.
01:08:40We'll move on to the semifinals of the Invitational Class.
01:08:42Nice job.
01:08:43Good job, guys.
01:08:43Good job, guys.
01:08:48So going up against Nate Saylor, listen, I knew we had to be on our game.
01:08:51It was a good drag race.
01:08:52He just put about a car on me at the other end.
01:08:54He's running extremely fast right now.
01:08:56But I'm happy with what we did.
01:08:57We were able to get out of first round, go into third round,
01:09:00and we're going to capitalize.
01:09:01We're going to get better.
01:09:01Next track we're going to, it's going to be a little cooler weather.
01:09:04Let's see what happens.
01:09:05Hopefully we can pull something off and get a win there.
01:09:08I ain't mad about it.
01:09:12We are ready for the semifinals here in Pennsylvania,
01:09:15and this will be the first time that Dave has made it to the semis since Kentucky.
01:09:20And this will be Ryan Martin's first time in the semifinals the entire year.
01:09:26It may have been a rocky start to the season for Ryan Martin,
01:09:28but look, he has turned it on here in the last half of the season,
01:09:32and he's trying to make his presence known as a three-time returning champion.
01:09:37All right, y'all, let's go ahead and draw some chips, see who's racing who.
01:09:46Just like you drew it out.
01:09:47I like it.
01:09:48I like it.
01:09:49Really wanted a surge at the end.
01:09:50All right, where are my number ones?
01:09:52Number one step forward is going to be Jim Howe versus Daddy Dave,
01:09:57which means our last pair there will be Nate Saylor versus Ryan Martin.
01:10:04Look at that.
01:10:06All right, folks, so that does it for the semifinals drivers meeting.
01:10:09All right, next pair coming at you, we got Jim Howe going up against Daddy Dave.
01:10:18Hey, you got Daddy Dave.
01:10:21I got Daddy Dave.
01:10:22Hell yeah.
01:10:23First pair out, we're left lane.
01:10:24Okay, same lane you love.
01:10:26So you know what that means?
01:10:28Let's do our thing.
01:10:29Go out and do your thing?
01:10:31Yep.
01:10:31And then you and Ryan Martin in the finals.
01:10:33Boy, it'd make a good day.
01:10:34I'd like it.
01:10:34I'd like you and Ryan Martin in the finals.
01:10:36Like, nothing more than to be, I don't care who I'm with in the finals.
01:10:38I just want to give me the finals.
01:10:40You know, a lot of things go through our minds as racers,
01:10:42and I was sitting up there like, you know, who would I want out of this whole crowd?
01:10:45The whole deal is, is that everybody up there is a killer.
01:10:48You know, the one I want is the guy that's going to give me the best opportunity
01:10:51to get to the next round.
01:10:52That's the guy I want.
01:10:53So we're going to race Dave.
01:10:55Don't beat up on me, Jim Howe.
01:10:59Why are you a big bully?
01:11:02If you listen to the internet.
01:11:05Big bully.
01:11:06Going to the semi-finals, it's anybody's race to win.
01:11:09But just staying in a circle with all the fast guys and all of us being that fast
01:11:13and everybody worrying about everybody,
01:11:15man, it says a lot for this whole sport and this whole FK series.
01:11:30One of my fabulous fans brought me something called Shoe Fly Pie.
01:11:35I don't even know what to expect.
01:11:37But we'll crack it open.
01:11:40Is this the proper way to open it?
01:11:45What happens if this thing tastes like
01:11:46on national TV?
01:11:50He goes, like, yeah, shoot.
01:11:50What happens if you cook me a pie?
01:11:51What if this is, like, actually like a pie?
01:11:54This guy's, like, doesn't like me or something.
01:11:56Could be.
01:11:57Let's see.
01:11:57Okay.
01:11:59Look at that.
01:12:00Bread crumb.
01:12:01That's like a ginger.
01:12:02Maybe like a...
01:12:03Oh, look at this thing.
01:12:05If we can get it at...
01:12:07Look at that.
01:12:07You see all that deliciousness in there?
01:12:09It's, uh...
01:12:16I don't know.
01:12:17Never tasted nothing like that before.
01:12:20I'm going to give it about a 7.2 out of 10.
01:12:23Here, America, let's give you your final bite.
01:12:25All right.
01:12:28Next pair coming after we got Jim Howe
01:12:30going up against Daddy Dave.
01:12:50All right.
01:12:51Jim Howe will take the win there.
01:12:53Move on to the finals.
01:12:54Nice job.
01:12:55Well, there's one for your finals.
01:13:00I thought we was going to have a good drag race
01:13:02side by side.
01:13:03Well, the car didn't make the one-two shift.
01:13:06Instead, it went right on to third gear.
01:13:08When it did, it was kind of underpowered.
01:13:10Shot me over towards the wall.
01:13:11He was still in my view, so I didn't lift.
01:13:14I drove the wall all the way down through there,
01:13:15and he got me about a car, car and a half.
01:13:17Our night ends right here.
01:13:19Like, the weight of the world is off my shoulder.
01:13:22Why?
01:13:23Been struggling all year, man.
01:13:25I know.
01:13:25You know what it's like.
01:13:26Oh, yeah.
01:13:27All right, folks.
01:13:28Last pair here in this semifinals.
01:13:31Going to be Nate Saylor going up against Ryan Martin.
01:13:35I just went over there.
01:13:35I was just curious.
01:13:36And I talked to him this morning.
01:13:37I said, how fast is he?
01:13:38He goes well.
01:13:38I put an 83 in it.
01:13:39He's like, he caught me at 200 foot and drove around me.
01:13:42He said, so I would say he goes to 70.
01:13:45He's like, I don't know, 78 to 80 flat.
01:13:47I'm like, yeah, okay.
01:13:50Semifinals for me, pretty big this year.
01:13:52Not the same story as last year, obviously.
01:13:54It was like an old hat for me to go to semifinals.
01:13:57But goals change.
01:13:58And this year, me getting the semis is big
01:14:00because the only other time I did it
01:14:02was when it was a qualifier
01:14:03and it didn't count for any points.
01:14:05I'm, you know, behind in points.
01:14:07Anything I can do to make up is better off.
01:14:09So, you know, like, as far as I'm concerned
01:14:11for points goes, I need to win this race.
01:14:21We've picked this thing up every run for today
01:14:23and it's no different.
01:14:24Made a pretty big move on the tune-up.
01:14:26Kind of joke around, it's either going to go faster
01:14:27or it may not go, you know.
01:14:29But that's the kind of tune-up
01:14:30you've got to run against Nate.
01:14:33The points for me mean a big deal
01:14:35because all the rest of my team's been out
01:14:37for a couple rounds.
01:14:38So, we're trying to gain back up
01:14:40so that we can try and win this $200,000.
01:15:02And Ryan Martin going to get the win.
01:15:04Something breaks on Nate Saylor's car
01:15:06here in the right lane.
01:15:06Took everything for him to keep it off the wall.
01:15:09Wow, Nate Saylor asks up the brake
01:15:12over here in the right lane.
01:15:14Ryan Martin cruises onto the win.
01:15:17Yeah, I'm good.
01:15:21My car's never done stuff like that before.
01:15:24We knew we had to have a hot tune-up in this thing.
01:15:27I leave on him.
01:15:29And about 60 to 100 feet, the car just gets crazy.
01:15:35So it flips the ass end out, tries to shove me into the wall.
01:15:38So I backed off just a teeny bit.
01:15:40I got it straight and it swung around and nailed the wall.
01:15:43You okay?
01:15:47You good?
01:15:48I'm fine.
01:15:49You good.
01:15:53That's it?
01:15:54That's it?
01:15:56Don't be mad about that.
01:15:58It could have been a lot worse, dude.
01:16:00Got any inspirational quotes for me?
01:16:20Yeah, don't this up.
01:16:24We spent a whole lot of money on this car this year.
01:16:26We crashed it.
01:16:28Well, we, I say I.
01:16:29I've crashed it.
01:16:30I've had to rebuild the motor at least once.
01:16:32So this will be a big help.
01:16:34We're late in the season.
01:16:35Here at Maple Grove.
01:16:36And I have made my way to the finals.
01:16:38It's a place that I haven't been able to get to.
01:16:40I've had a lot of parts failures lately.
01:16:42We struggled with just the car at the beginning of the season.
01:16:45Just been a bad season for us.
01:16:47All we know to do is keep our head down and keep pushing.
01:16:50That mentality has got us to the finals here at Maple Grove.
01:16:53I got Jim Howe in the finals.
01:16:56May the fastest car win.
01:16:58You got this.
01:16:59That's a good man.
01:17:00Yep.
01:17:06Ryan's been working.
01:17:07Like, I mean, they've been testing.
01:17:09You know, they crashed the car.
01:17:10I know what that's like.
01:17:11The way that we're going to do it is just exactly what we've been doing.
01:17:14We're going to race the racetrack.
01:17:15Sun's down.
01:17:16Track's good.
01:17:17I promise you, Ryan's coming to win the same as we are.
01:17:20So we've just got to go up there and do our job.
01:17:23You got Ryan Martin in the left lane.
01:17:24Do that, Ryan Martin!
01:17:27And you got Jim Howe in the right lane.
01:17:31We're going to f*** Ryan up here.
01:17:33Hell yeah, we are.
01:17:33I've won championships, and I've won individual races.
01:17:55And this year, it's like, I just can't make it there.
01:17:58So, you know, just thinking about it, I get a little emotional about the fact that I'm in the finals and I have a chance to win.
01:18:03This year has proven how competitive and crazy MPK is.
01:18:08There is no easy draws from first round to the finals, but you've got to get through everybody to do it.
01:18:14Come on, come on!
01:18:21Come on!
01:18:21Come on!
01:18:22Come on!
01:18:23Ryan Martin, amazing comeback from crashing the car a few events ago to winning the Invitational
01:18:51here tonight in Pennsylvania that man was asleep I expected the red light to come on that one you
01:19:14treat the out of me now dude I'm gonna make you feel better I'm not I'm not a liar or nothing like
01:19:20that and so I'm gonna be honest with you I let go the button and went like I swear to God I thought
01:19:25it went red I was like I just I got a radio I was like he had to have guessed no I would never on our
01:19:31friendship I don't ever guess I 100% let go of the button and was like it but I saw the green light
01:19:36when I went by I know I left a little early on Jim and there's so many guys that won't admit that look
01:19:43I let go the button early nervous enough that I thought that hey I could have went red but when
01:19:48I did it and I hit it I legitimately felt bad because I don't like to be doing that I don't
01:19:54like to do that to people whether it's intentional accident or whatever the case is that's just not
01:19:58my style it's all right you won buddy good job I know and hey I don't better sweep for me because
01:20:04I hate to do that to anybody I hate when people do it to me he is a true sportsman because he didn't
01:20:09just say no I've seen green he admitted that you know he let off the button early and that happens
01:20:12it's not he didn't guess he just let off the button early he didn't go up there with the intention of
01:20:16guessing but you know it happens and you know at the end of the day we're in the final round there's
01:20:21nothing to be ashamed of I got beat by the you know the demand that we all strive to be like
01:20:26and uh we go try again next week
01:20:28oh that's it for ryan martin and jim hoe
01:20:31woo

01:20:51you did it man your first final for the season season six and you won it is it safe to say that
01:21:00you're back oh you know I don't want to say that right because I feel like that like might accidentally
01:21:06like put some bad juju on me but I do think we have a badass hot rod I'm stoked that we went to
01:21:11the finals and we're able to make it as far as we did and come out on top but jim house car's badass
01:21:16he did fantastic that being said at least we got one we got four races left and it's for the biggest
01:21:23races this season that's all the ones that matter I don't want to be too optimistic but like I mean
01:21:28you know you never know what could happen we got a double points race coming up we got a points and a
01:21:32half race coming up it's kind of anybody's game I see Kai he's off in the distance but he ain't that
01:21:36far as he was so for us the season is four races long we got to make our moves right now
01:21:41good job thanks homie congratulations Ryan Martin and this team first invitational win at 40,000
01:21:50that gray car is back for sure and there you have it three-time defending champion Ryan Martin has won
01:22:03his first event of the season that moves his team back into third place but the numbers in the middle
01:22:11of the pack are extremely close look there's only 200 points separating sixth place from first place
01:22:18this competition is extremely tight
01:22:22next week Michigan how y'all doing today
01:22:30the weather makes racing conditions trickier than normal really far north it's cold and a cold track
01:22:45could be worse than a hot and greasy track
01:22:50but that doesn't stop the team captains from making their biggest moves of the season
01:22:59there's a couple of teams that know they don't have a shot at women so they're talking about getting
01:23:05rid of their number one and number two picks to hire up teams for money $10,000 oh
01:23:13here we go
