00:00:01All right, so Jim Howell gets the win.

00:00:02Kyle Kelly goes red.

00:00:04He wasn't a grown man.

00:00:05He just cried.

00:00:06Or drive off the end of the racetrack.

00:00:09All of the racers on Team Kyle were out by round two.

00:00:12Here's your chance to make a comeback.

00:00:15That gave other teams the chance to go some rounds

00:00:18and close the gap.

00:00:20And boy, did they.

00:00:23The biggest win went to Ryan Martin,

00:00:25who won his first invitational race of the season.

00:00:28He moved his team back into third place,

00:00:30just 140 points out of first.

00:00:32But with four events left, it's still anyone's championship.

00:00:36Here we go.

00:00:38Here we go.

00:00:58Michigan.

00:01:00How y'all doing today?

00:01:02A little damp.

00:01:04A little damp.

00:01:05Yeah.

00:01:06Hey, look, we're going to be dodging this stuff all day long,

00:01:07y'all.

00:01:08But look, I will tell you one thing.

00:01:09We're going to try our best to get this track dry.

00:01:11If a little shower comes through,

00:01:12we'll turn around and try to get it dry the moment it stops raining.

00:01:16But now we're going to go ahead and try to get started,

00:01:18get some racing in and try to beat this weather.

00:01:20We are here today at US 131 in Michigan.

00:01:22This is the first time for us at this track.

00:01:24With the weather being kind of weird, cold and wet,

00:01:26what it does for the drivers is they'll make a pass and they get data,

00:01:30and then the track conditions can change completely.

00:01:33When it rains, they have to come back, wait for the track to dry,

00:01:38all that data they got is now gone.

00:01:42It's useless.

00:01:43We're getting a late start today because of the rain,

00:01:45which may mean we only get through the first round of racing tonight

00:01:47and we'll have to come back later in a few minutes.

00:01:50It's true for the first round of racing tonight

00:01:52we're getting a late start today because of the rain,

00:01:55which may mean we only get through the first round of racing tonight

00:01:56and we'll have to come back with the right-hand training

00:01:58And we'll have to come back and finish tomorrow.

00:02:02Yeah, Ryan Martin, winner of last week's event,

00:02:06got his first invitational win of the season.

00:02:09Comeback starts now.

00:02:11That's right.

00:02:12That's right, Mike.

00:02:13Right now.

00:02:14Coming into this race, Kai Kelly is still sitting number one in points.

00:02:17But for the last three weeks, they have struggled.

00:02:21And as we're getting closer to the end of the season,

00:02:23it sounds like all of the captains have spent a lot of time on the phone this week

00:02:27working out potential trades and deals of all kinds.

00:02:33There's a couple of teams that know they don't have a shot at winning.

00:02:37And, you know, every team's got a couple of decent guys in it.

00:02:40You know, and then after that it goes, you know, you know.

00:02:43And so they're talking about getting rid of their number one and number two picks

00:02:47to hire up teams for money.

00:02:52Politicking, politicking.

00:02:54We made some decisions to make some trades.

00:02:56Due to the performance of our team, our team has been on a spiral going down.

00:03:01We got two guys who've been killing it for us all year, Nathan and Damon.

00:03:06These guys deserve an opportunity to win a championship.

00:03:08But a hot commodity right now, man, I'm auctioning them off.

00:03:11We got the deal pretty close.

00:03:13These guys want an opportunity to win,

00:03:15and I gave them an opportunity to pick the team they wanted to go to.

00:03:17All right, fellas, so I got some pretty good news.

00:03:21Buddy called me and said that he realizes that his team ain't got a shot at the championship,

00:03:25and he wanted to sell us Damon Merchant.

00:03:30What's the bid?

00:03:31We bidding it or what?

00:03:32What's the bid?

00:03:3210 grand and ranking.

00:03:34Worked his ass off the whole year.

00:03:36The guy's put in the work.

00:03:37He's done a lot, but he just couldn't get off that struggle bus right now.

00:03:42Man, this ain't friendship.

00:03:43It's business.

00:03:43We got to do what we got to do.

00:03:45Pretty much halfway through this season already,

00:03:48I was already talking to Bodie about possibly trying to get Damon Merchant.

00:03:51I hope y'all are in, because I already told him yes.

00:03:54He named a price.

00:03:55It was $10,000.

00:03:56And I immediately told him, hell yeah, we want to do it.

00:04:00I did hear some more things.

00:04:01I don't know if they're true, but I heard Ryan may or may not have bought Nate Sailor,

00:04:06which is a weapon right now.

00:04:13Are you buying anybody?

00:04:15I might.

00:04:15I mean, you might as well.

00:04:17I might buy somebody today.

00:04:18Must be a thing to do here.

00:04:18I might buy somebody today.

00:04:20You can just buy people.

00:04:21Yeah.

00:04:21This is the last event before the points and a half starts,

00:04:24and if there's any moves to be made,

00:04:27now is the time if you think you're going to make a push.

00:04:29That being said, I've got to make smart moves for my team

00:04:33to try to strategically get after this championship.

00:04:36And so I got a phone call from Bodie.

00:04:38Bodie's got two hot commodities.

00:04:39Nate's car's fast.

00:04:40He wants to be on our team.

00:04:42It's going to take a little bit of money.

00:04:43It's going to be interesting today.

00:04:44Let's see how I'm going to get.

00:04:48Yeah, you know, man.

00:04:49You know how this go.

00:04:50Everybody got knives.

00:04:51So last week when Bodie called me wanting to sell Nate

00:04:59and Damon, I actually had told him

00:05:02that I would take both of them for the money

00:05:04he was asking for them.

00:05:05Nate, he called Ryan, actually got Ryan to buy him.

00:05:10Damon, we went back and forth, back and forth,

00:05:13and I thought all was good.

00:05:14Like, I thought Damon was coming out of my team

00:05:15and it was going to be great.

00:05:17I almost feel like I got a knife in my back.

00:05:19Hey, you've got to take the best shot

00:05:22at winning this championship.

00:05:25I think coming up, you look at the coming up races,

00:05:28Gallaud, Lizzie's going to run good there.

00:05:30Kyle's going to run a test there a lot.

00:05:33It's going to be a good race for them.

00:05:34Steel Alabama is going to be a good race for Ryan.

00:05:37Texas is where it's like,

00:05:39it's any man's game at Texas, I think.

00:05:41Was Ryan trying to get you to?

00:05:43Uh, we talked, he talked a little bit.

00:05:46He got, I think he got a knife.

00:05:48Huh?

00:05:49He got a knife.

00:05:53What's up?

00:05:54That's why I'm glad I'm on the bottom of the ladder.

00:05:57There's nothing wrong with me.

00:05:58You look like you're upset.

00:05:59I'm not upset.

00:06:00Are you okay?

00:06:01Are you upset?

00:06:02No.

00:06:03Do I have a reason to be upset?

00:06:04That could be, I guess.

00:06:05I don't know.

00:06:05Should I be upset?

00:06:07You should wake up in a happy mood.

00:06:08Why?

00:06:09You should.

00:06:10I know you're waking up angry.

00:06:12No.

00:06:14I know you just look like you got a, like a, like a face frown.

00:06:16Uh-uh.

00:06:17Uh-uh.

00:06:17I'm good.

00:06:20All right, guys, this is the captain's meeting.

00:06:22As you know, this is where you can make changes to your team.

00:06:24So we're going to start at the bottom.

00:06:26I mean, it's not the bottom, sorry.

00:06:27We're going to start with the team that has the most opportunity to do well.

00:06:32Yes.

00:06:33Dean.

00:06:33Yeah, no change.

00:06:34Really?

00:06:34No change.

00:06:35Okay, I like it.

00:06:35I got faith in my guys.

00:06:36One of these days, they're going to pull through.

00:06:38Murillo.

00:06:38Yes.

00:06:39Any changes?

00:06:40Man, you know what?

00:06:40We're doing so good right now.

00:06:42I'd hate to mess it up.

00:06:45Y'all are just a well-oiled machine over there.

00:06:48So no changes.

00:06:49Yeah, we're good.

00:06:49Keeping it where it's at.

00:06:50Status quo.

00:06:50Yes, sir.

00:06:50Swanstrom.

00:06:52Changes.

00:06:53I found out this week my money doesn't go as long as some others, so.

00:06:57Oh.

00:06:58It's all right.

00:06:58What happened?

00:06:59I don't know.

00:06:59I'm going to stay because there's no trade there.

00:07:03Got it.

00:07:04Uh, Bodie.

00:07:06I'll tell you what.

00:07:07We're going to make a lot of changes over here today.

00:07:09First.

00:07:10What?

00:07:11Yeah, the first change I'm going to make is I'm going to put myself back in for Tim Brown.

00:07:15Like it.

00:07:15I'm also going to make a major trade with my two top guys.

00:07:20Okay.

00:07:23So who are you starting with?

00:07:25First, uh, I'll start here with Kai Kelly.

00:07:28What's going on here?

00:07:29Uh, you were talking about negotiating.

00:07:32Uh, I got Damon.

00:07:35He wanted to go to your team.

00:07:37He was going to, uh, bring me back over Rankin and a couple extra dollars.

00:07:42Ooh.

00:07:44Say no more.

00:07:45$10,000.

00:07:46Wait a minute.

00:07:47Time out.

00:07:48Wait, time out.

00:07:49$10,000.

00:07:50Trading Damon for Rankin was huge for us because Rankin's been struggling.

00:07:53When it does make a pass, it's fast.

00:07:54But to win these deals, you got to be consistent.

00:07:56And you got to be consistent every single week with no breaks.

00:07:59For now, he's just not consistent enough for us to win a championship.

00:08:02And Damon is.

00:08:03It's business, and it's $200,000.

00:08:05I hate it for Rankin, but I got to do it.

00:08:08Rankin, please do not take offense to this,

00:08:10but you just traded Damon Merchant for Chris Rankin.

00:08:14And $10,000.

00:08:15I get a lot of credit.

00:08:16I'm the great GM because everybody had the opportunity to pick these guys,

00:08:19and they didn't.

00:08:20Yeah, that's right.

00:08:20So I GMed these guys, and I got them here,

00:08:23and they showed me that they was worth every dime of it,

00:08:25so this is what I get in return.

00:08:26And we're not done.

00:08:27We're not done.

00:08:28Oh, you're not.

00:08:28You got more trades.

00:08:29Wow.

00:08:29Okay.

00:08:30What else you got?

00:08:31The next trade we got?

00:08:32Blockbuster trade.

00:08:33It's Nate Taylor.

00:08:34We working a deal with Ryan Martin.

00:08:36Yeah.

00:08:39For who?

00:08:40For Jerry, unfortunately.

00:08:42The Bird Boys.

00:08:43Oh, that's what you think, y'all be my.

00:08:46You're f***ing it.

00:08:47And you know what?

00:08:48I wasn't going to do this, but then I heard Kai was going to do it.

00:08:51Damon's a heavy hitter.

00:08:52He's one of the fastest cars here.

00:08:53Obviously, top five for sure.

00:08:55So to go get this championship, it's going to be tough to try to get there without having an equal team.

00:09:00I need people that are going to be heavy hitters.

00:09:04Bodie put up Nate Sailor.

00:09:05It was a $10,000 purchase.

00:09:07I talked it out with my team.

00:09:08We split it up four ways.

00:09:09It was $2,500 a piece.

00:09:11We thought of it as a very cheap investment to possibly guarantee us another driver to collect points for us to go get that championship.

00:09:19Did you already have the money wired to you, or is it in cash, or what's going on with that?

00:09:22You know I'm good for it.

00:09:24Yeah, yeah.

00:09:24Ryan's murder.

00:09:25I'm good for it.

00:09:26I'd also like to point out that I'm sure Team Dave and Murder Nova maybe are not exactly happy with the trades,

00:09:32because that just kind of sets them back as well.

00:09:34It makes it harder for them to win the championship as well.

00:09:37It's kind of stacking the teams, you know.

00:09:38Set me back.

00:09:40All right.

00:09:41Is that it?

00:09:41Yes, sir.

00:09:42All right.

00:09:43Murder Nova.

00:09:44Yes.

00:09:44I ain't got $10,000, so.

00:09:46It looks like I'm sticking with my guys.

00:09:51Yeah.

00:09:53Okay.

00:09:53All right, guys.

00:09:54Well, there you have it.

00:09:56That's the captain's meeting.

00:09:57Let's do it.

00:09:58You know what you got to do.

00:09:58Good deal.

00:09:59All right.

00:10:00Team Kai getting another heavy hitter onto a team that is already sitting in first place.

00:10:05And then you've got Team Ryan Martin, who is also getting an extremely fast driver.

00:10:12Moving up, huh?

00:10:14I'm just going to keep doing what I've been doing.

00:10:15That's right.

00:10:17This will put a lot of pressure on Damon and Nate to really perform for their teams.

00:10:23Because these captains made these moves to try to win that team championship.

00:10:29What do you think about the team deal?

00:10:31I don't mind it.

00:10:35It helps y'all.

00:10:36But at the same time, the way he did it.

00:10:38Yeah.

00:10:39You know?

00:10:41I got to home last night.

00:10:42I said, I'll probably be the next one to go.

00:10:44I said, but I'd rather kind of be anywhere than with a snake.

00:10:49We still had a chance.

00:10:51We weren't out.

00:10:52You know what I'm saying?

00:10:52That's what I kind of said, too.

00:10:53Me and Nate talked about that.

00:10:54We still had a chance for the championship.

00:10:56We wasn't out.

00:10:58But all that benefited was his pocket.

00:11:01That's it.

00:11:02And then he threw up in my face.

00:11:03Oh, well, I didn't have to pick you.

00:11:07You ain't done for the team.

00:11:09You ain't got a point.

00:11:10You ain't went a round.

00:11:12But you want to stick all the money in your pocket and sell out on your people?

00:11:16That ain't no captain.

00:11:17That's chicken.

00:11:24All right.

00:11:25Well, folks, we are now going to move into the Invitational Round 1 Drivers Meeting, folks.

00:11:32This is the main event for the weekend.

00:11:35This is the class where 32 drivers battle it out for $40,000.

00:11:39It seems like those trades really opened the floodgates for other team captains to try to make some moves.

00:11:46I said, no.

00:11:46I said, you're worth more than five.

00:11:48He just don't like you, man.

00:11:49Yeah, he don't like you.

00:11:51He thinks he can't win a championship.

00:11:53He don't want you to.

00:11:54He can't either.

00:11:55That's where we're at with Mike right now.

00:11:57That's the type of guy Mike is.

00:11:59You had Sean trying to get Mike Murillo to trade Scott Taylor for $5,000.

00:12:05But for some reason, Murillo is not down with that.

00:12:08He's trying to go from fourth to third.

00:12:10Yeah.

00:12:10But he's not getting his paper right.

00:12:12How much paper is it going to take?

00:12:13$10,000.

00:12:14$10,000.

00:12:15You're good for it, right?

00:12:16Hell no.

00:12:16That's what the going...

00:12:17I guess that's what top-tier people go for.

00:12:20Are you talking about Ryan?

00:12:22Oh, wow.

00:12:23Damn!

00:12:25Oh, wow.

00:12:26Damn!

00:12:28Hey.

00:12:30Wow.

00:12:31We just recovered.

00:12:32I love you, man.

00:12:33All right.

00:12:34Well, look, Sean.

00:12:34It looks like Murillo is not going to crack yet.

00:12:37We'll try next week, buddy.

00:12:38Sorry.

00:12:39And now, after all the successful and unsuccessful trading, plus our race your way in, the 32-car field is set.

00:12:49Since he auctioned off two of his team members, Bodie only has two drivers in the Invitational today.

00:12:54But Kai's and Ryan's investments are really paying off, as they each have all five racers in, unlike Dave, who only has four.

00:13:03We'll go ahead and get the bucket here.

00:13:05We'll draw out of this bucket real quick.

00:13:07All right.

00:13:10You son of a...

00:13:11I was trying to get them mixed up.

00:13:13If anyone asks me, I think you're worth $10,000.

00:13:17Thank you, bud.

00:13:18You're welcome.

00:13:18There ain't no chips in there.

00:13:19No, I hear it.

00:13:19In the first round here in Michigan, eight teammates drew each other.

00:13:24You got Chuck 55 going up against B-Rad.

00:13:26Sean had four racers coming in to this race.

00:13:29Unfortunately, this guarantees that he'll have, at the most, three racers continuing on after this first round.

00:13:34Then, the race that everyone's got their eye on, it is a rematch between Kai Kelly and Lizzie Musi.

00:13:41Those two are the heaviest hitters on their team.

00:13:44Plus, you factor in the history they have between each other, this is going to be a good one.

00:13:50Then, you have Robin Roberts versus Ryan Martin.

00:13:53Again, two of the heaviest hitters on their team.

00:13:56And for Ryan Martin, who's trying to get to the top, he needs all of his strongest racers to stay in as long as possible.

00:14:04Finally, you have Dave himself going up against Paige Coughlin.

00:14:08Paige has been trying to prove herself all season long.

00:14:11And Dave is the captain of the team.

00:14:14Which means there'll be a lot of pressure for Paige and Dave to get the win.

00:14:19I think you're in a better position now.

00:14:21I do, too.

00:14:22I mean, for sure now, but Dave was really wanting to make a run.

00:14:28All right, folks.

00:14:29First pair here in the Invitational first round.

00:14:32You got Rich Bruder going up against Jim Howell.

00:14:35It's a rematch from last weekend.

00:14:38Here we are, US 131.

00:14:40What a crazy day.

00:14:41Rain on and off, getting cold out.

00:14:44Go up there for Invitational chip draw, we draw Jim Howell.

00:14:47It's going to be a rematch from the last race.

00:14:49We went up there third round last race.

00:14:51Went up there, we had a problem with the car.

00:14:53After that race, we went to a dyno, dynoed the car a little bit, got it back where it should be.

00:14:58And it's running strong today.

00:14:59Damn, somebody's on some sticker tires.

00:15:13Holy!

00:15:16So we're here in basically my hometown.

00:15:19We're in Martin, Michigan.

00:15:20I grew up racing here for two days.

00:15:22All it's done is rain, rain, rain, rain, rain.

00:15:24The sun finally came out this afternoon.

00:15:26I do not like racing in the winter weather, and that's what this is.

00:15:29You know, it's no prep racing, and this is what it is.

00:15:32It's what makes this sport and this particular series such an interesting deal.

00:15:36That's why we've seen so many different winters all year.

00:15:38Rich Bruder moving on to the next round of the Invitational Class.

00:16:07All right, next pair coming at you right now.

00:16:10We got Brandon James going up against Kayla Morton.

00:16:27We are getting ready for today, and Dave and Kai kind of went at Damon, and he chose to go

00:16:32with Kai, so we just need to use that as drive and, you know, a fire lit under our ass to do better.

00:16:39If you don't want to be on our team, then we're going to show you that you made a mistake.

00:16:42And Kayla Morton takes the win there.

00:17:01Brandon James getting all kinds of sideways over there in the left lane.

00:17:05The right lane was a little more sketch.

00:17:11Up top, man, it was a little shaky.

00:17:13It was all over the place, but I am glad that we drew that lane, and now we have some data in both lanes,

00:17:17and I'm just hoping to keep this momentum going.

00:17:19There's something to be said about winning five times in a row,

00:17:23and hopefully we can just keep that up.

00:17:25I was driving.

00:17:26Mine drove to the center.

00:17:27I've held it, and I'm about wrecking.

00:17:28Did you really?

00:17:30Damn, that track is just so cold now.

00:17:33Yeah, it is.

00:17:34Good job.

00:17:35Thanks, Brandon.

00:17:35Good luck, Ma.

00:17:35Appreciate you.

00:17:37Next pair, coming at you right now.

00:17:39We got Clay Cole going up against Scott Scooter Taylor.

00:17:48So I went up and drew Chip today for round one of the Invitational.

00:17:51I drew Scott Taylor.

00:17:53I've not raced Scott yet, so it ought to be an interesting race.

00:17:55So round one's a little bit different today.

00:18:00We've had Mother Nature against us all weekend, unfortunately.

00:18:08It's a little cooler out, so it's definitely going to be tricky,

00:18:11and you're going to have to be on your A game for sure to get down this track.

00:18:14Hey, hey!

00:18:25What's wrong?

00:18:25It's a transbrage.

00:18:27It ain't clicking.

00:18:30Looks like Scott Taylor having issues out there stuck, not backing up.

00:18:34Jiggle right there.

00:18:36Right here?

00:18:36Yep.

00:18:37Mike Murillo, team captain, needs to get out there

00:18:39and figure out what's going on with his teammate, Scott Taylor.

00:18:42Put him on the clock!

00:18:44He's got it, he's got it on the clock.

00:18:47Are you going to put him on the clock?

00:18:48Yeah!

00:18:48All right, so Clay Cole has put Scott Taylor on a two-minute clock.

00:18:52Oh, my.

00:18:53See it broke anywhere?

00:18:54I don't see anything.

00:18:56Oh, yep, right there.

00:18:57Can you shove it back?

00:18:58I'm going to try to do it.

00:19:03You don't get it?

00:19:05Oh, it ain't my team.

00:19:06I don't give a...

00:19:06One minute has surpassed.

00:19:10Y'all push me back.

00:19:11I'm going to try it.

00:19:11Maybe it goes red or something.

00:19:16Man, Clay, if you don't give him extra time, that's sorry.

00:19:19All right, so...

00:19:21Got about...

00:19:22Ten seconds.

00:19:26Nine.

00:19:27Eight.

00:19:28Seven.

00:19:29Hold on, we good?

00:19:30Six.

00:19:30We good?

00:19:31He's got to tighten one thing.

00:19:32Five.

00:19:32Four.

00:19:33Three.

00:19:34Two.

00:19:34He's almost got it.

00:19:35He's almost got it.

00:19:36That is two minutes.

00:19:38Two minutes.

00:19:40Pass for pass.

00:19:41Three.

00:19:42Nine.

00:20:04All right.

00:20:05Four.

00:20:05Three.

00:20:06Three.

00:20:07Four.

00:20:07Six.

00:20:08Three.

00:20:09Four.

00:20:10Four.

00:20:10All right, so Clay Cole will take the win

00:20:14and peddling over there in that right lane.

00:20:16Scott Taylor has something happen there right on the hit.

00:20:18Damn, does not make the pass.

00:20:22We had a wire break on the trans break, on the dash,

00:20:25and we just needed a few minutes to fix it.

00:20:28He didn't want to give no extra time.

00:20:29I know that Clay Cole was not going to give anybody one

00:20:32second to actually get a drag race.

00:20:35We know that. We established that.

00:20:36So in the future, anybody goes up against Clay

00:20:39and he has a problem, he ain't going to give you time.

00:20:41So you got that stuck in the back of your mind.

00:20:44What happened, brother?

00:20:45Trans break wouldn't work.

00:20:47It just ain't meant to be right now.

00:20:48Oh, man, I'm sorry.

00:20:49Oh, good, man.

00:20:50I didn't put you on the clock.

00:20:50My guy did. I'm sorry.

00:20:51No, you're fine.

00:20:52I don't know if you could have got it fixed or not.

00:20:54It's all good.

00:20:55Good?

00:20:55Yep.

00:20:56I think we had one of the fastest cars on the property

00:20:58tonight, and a wire, you know, one wire broke.

00:21:02And I thought that maybe, you know,

00:21:04the testing and stuff had paid off.

00:21:06We do really good when the track's not great.

00:21:08That's our specialty.

00:21:10We're in the biggest slump we've ever been in,

00:21:12but there ain't one way to get out of it,

00:21:13just keep digging.

00:21:14You lay down in a slump, you get covered up.

00:21:17We ain't gonna lay down.

00:21:20All right, folks, next pair.

00:21:22That is going to be David Gates going up against Murder Nova.

00:21:27Man, I'm going to have to go up here and race my buddy

00:21:29Sean, Murder Nova.

00:21:32Try to get that win, put him on the trailer.

00:21:34Man, I'm starting to go into these points and a half.

00:21:39We got a shot.

00:21:40We're not that far behind.

00:21:43No, y'all are in a good spot for sure.

00:21:46Yeah.

00:21:47Y'all are in a, it's achievable where you're at.

00:21:50Yes, yes.

00:21:51Pretty tight.

00:21:52Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:21:53Yeah.

00:21:54But now it's going to start doing this,

00:21:55because they all got five guys in.

00:21:58So normally, we race first round during the day,

00:22:01and you have to worry about a tricky track that's hot.

00:22:04Well, this is a little bit different.

00:22:05We're really far north, it's cold,

00:22:08and a cold track could be worse than a hot and greasy track.

00:22:12David Gates' car has the capabilities of being one

00:22:28of the fastest cars on the property.

00:22:30I know he's been struggling a little bit,

00:22:32but I can't look at it that way.

00:22:34I have to look at it like, how much power is this lane going

00:22:37to take whenever I try to put it down?

00:22:40I try to put it down, and that's the route we're going to go.

00:23:00Murder Nova takes the win.

00:23:04He'll move on the next round.

00:23:06Last week at Maple Grove Raceway in Pennsylvania,

00:23:10all right, so Jim Howell gets the win.

00:23:12Kai Kelly goes red.

00:23:14He wasn't a grown man.

00:23:15He just cried.

00:23:16Or drive off the end of the racetrack.

00:23:19All of the racers on Team Kai were out by round two.

00:23:22Here's your chance to make a comeback.

00:23:26That gave other teams the chance to go some rounds

00:23:29and close the gap.

00:23:30And boy, did they.

00:23:33The biggest win went to Ryan Martin,

00:23:35who won his first invitational race of the season.

00:23:39Woo!

00:23:40Congratulations, Ryan Martin and his team.

00:23:43There you go, brother.

00:23:45You turned it.

00:23:46He moved his team back into third place,

00:23:48just 140 points out of first.

00:23:51But with four events left, it's still anyone's championship.

00:23:54Here we go.

00:23:59Michigan.

00:24:00How y'all doing today?

00:24:01Woo!

00:24:02Little damp.

00:24:03Little damp.

00:24:04Yeah.

00:24:05Hey, look, we're going to be dodging this stuff all day long, y'all.

00:24:07But look, I will tell you one thing, we're going to try our best to get this track dry.

00:24:22If a little shower comes through, we'll turn around and try to get it dry the moment it stops raining.

00:24:28But now we're going to go ahead and try to get started and get some racing in and try to beat this weather.

00:24:33to get started get some racing in and try to beat this weather we are here today at us 131

00:24:40in michigan this is the first time for us at this track with the weather being kind of weird cold

00:24:46and wet what it does for the drivers is they'll make a pass and they get data and then the track

00:24:52conditions can change completely when it rains they have to come back wait for the track to dry

00:24:58all that data they got is now gone it's useless we're getting a late start today because of the

00:25:05rain which may mean we only get through the first round of racing tonight and we'll have to come back

00:25:10and finish tomorrow yeah ryan martin winner of last week's event got his first invitational win of the

00:25:18season comeback starts now that's right that's right right now coming into this race kai kelly is still

00:25:26sitting number one in points but for the last three weeks they have struggled and as we're

00:25:32getting closer to the end of the season it sounds like all of the captains have spent a lot of time

00:25:37on the phone this week working out potential trades and deals of all kinds there's a couple of teams

00:25:45that know they don't have a shot at winning yep and you know every team's got a couple of decent guys

00:25:50yeah you know and then after that it goes you know yep you know and so they're talking about getting

00:25:55rid of their number one and number two picks to hire up teams for money politicking politicking

00:26:05we made some decisions to make some trades due to the performance of our team our team has been on

00:26:10the spiral going down we got two guys who've been killing it for us all year nathan and damon these

00:26:16guys deserve an opportunity to win a championship but a hot commodity right now man i'm auctioning them off

00:26:22we got the deal pretty close these guys want an opportunity to win and i gave them opportunity

00:26:26to pick the team they wanted to go to all right fellas so i got some pretty good news buddy called me

00:26:32said that he realizes that his team ain't got a shot at the championship and he wanted to sell us damon

00:26:39merchant what's the bid we bidding it or what's the bid 10 grand and ranking worked his ass off the whole

00:26:46year the guys put in the work he's done a lot but uh he just couldn't get off that struggle bus right

00:26:51now no man this ain't friendship it's business we got to do what we got to do pretty much halfway

00:26:57through this season already i was already talking to bode about possibly trying to get damon merchant

00:27:02i hope y'all are in because i already told him yes he named the price it was ten thousand dollars and uh

00:27:08i immediately told him hell yeah we want to do it i did hear some more things i don't know if they're

00:27:12true but i heard ryan may or may not have bought nate sailor which is a weapon right now

00:27:24are you buying anybody i might i mean you might as well i might buy somebody

00:27:28that must be the thing to do here i might buy somebody yeah this is the last event before the

00:27:33points and a half starts and if there's any moves to be made now is the time if you think you're going

00:27:38to make a push that being said i've got to make smart moves for my team to try to strategically get

00:27:45after this championship and so i got a phone call from bode bode's got two hot commodities nate's car's

00:27:50fast he wants to be on our team it's going to take a little bit of money it's going to be interesting

00:27:54today that's okay yeah you know man you know how to go dave everybody got knives

00:28:04shot so last week when bode called me wanting to sell nate and damon i actually had told him that

00:28:12i would take both of them for the money he was asking for him nate he called ryan uh actually got

00:28:18ryan to buy him uh damon we went back and forth back and forth and i thought all was good like i

00:28:24thought damon was coming out of my team and it was going to be great i almost feel like i got a knife in

00:28:28my back hey hey you got to take the best shot at winning this championship i think coming up you

00:28:37look at the coming up races galat lizzie's gonna run good there kyle's gonna run a test there a lot

00:28:56bit he got i think he got nate huh he got nate what's up that's why i'm glad i'm on the bottom

00:29:07there's nothing wrong with me look like you're upset i'm not upset are you okay are you upset

00:29:12no no do i have a reason to be upset that could be i guess i don't know am i should i be upset you

00:29:24like you got a like a like a face frown uh uh i'm good all right guys this is the captain's meeting

00:29:32as you know this is where you can make changes to your team so we're gonna start at the bottom

00:29:36i mean it's not the bottom sorry we're gonna start with the team that has the most opportunity to do

00:29:42well yes dean yeah no change really no change okay i like it i got faith in my guys one of these days

00:29:47are gonna pull through murillo yes any changes man you know what we're doing so good right now

00:29:52i'd hate to mess it up y'all are just a well-oiled machine over there so no changes yeah we're good

00:29:59keeping it where it's at status yes sir swanstrom changes i found out this week my money doesn't go

00:30:05as long as some others so oh oh it's all right what happened i don't know i'm gonna stay because

00:30:12there's no there's no trade there got it uh bode i'll tell you what we're gonna make a lot of changes

00:30:19over here today first what yeah the first change i'm gonna make is i'm gonna put myself back in for

00:30:25tim brown like it i'm also gonna make uh a major trade with my two top guys okay

00:30:31okay so who are you starting with first uh i'll start here with kai kelly what's going on here uh

00:30:41you was talking about negotiating uh i got damon he wanted to go to your team he was gonna bring me

00:30:49back over and break it in a couple extra dollars oh say no more ten thousand dollars wait time out

00:30:59ten thousand dollars trading damon for rankin was huge for us because rankin's been struggling

00:31:03when it does make a pass it's fast but to win these deals you got to be consistent and you got

00:31:07to be consistent every single week with no breaks for now he's just not consistent enough for us to

00:31:11win the championship and damon is it's business and it's two hundred thousand dollars i hate it for

00:31:16ranking but i got to do it rankin please do not take offense to this but you just traded damon merchant

00:31:23for chris rankin and ten thousand dollars i get a lot of credit i'm the great gm because

00:31:28everybody had opportunity to pick these guys and they didn't yeah so i gm these guys and i got them

00:31:33here and they showed me that they was worth every dime of it so this is what i get in return and we're

00:31:37not done we're not done oh you're not you got more trades wow okay what else you got the next trade

00:31:42we got blockbuster trade is nate sailor we working a deal with ryan martin yeah

00:31:46for who for jerry unfortunately the bird boys oh that's what you think i wasn't going to do this

00:31:59but then i heard kai was going to do it damon's a heavy hitter he's one of the fastest cars here

00:32:04obviously top five for sure so to go get this championship it's going to be tough to try to

00:32:08get there without having an equal team i need people that are going to be heavy hitters bode put up nate

00:32:15sailor it was a ten thousand dollar purchase i talked it out with my team we split it up four

00:32:19ways it was 2500 bucks a piece we thought of it as a very cheap investment to possibly guarantee us

00:32:26another driver to collect points for us to go get that championship uh did you already have the money

00:32:30wired to you or is it in cash or what's going on with that you know you know i'm good for it yeah

00:32:37i'd also like to point out that i'm sure team dave and murder nova maybe are not exactly happy with

00:32:42the trades because that just kind of sets them back as well makes it harder for them to win the

00:32:45championship as well it's kind of stacking the teams you know set me back all right is that it

00:32:52yes sir all right murder nova thank you yes i ain't got 10 grand so looks like i'm sticking with my guys

00:33:02yeah okay all right guys well there you have it that's the captain's meeting let's do it know what you

00:33:08gotta do good deal all right team kai getting another heavy hitter onto a team that is already

00:33:14sitting in first place and then you've got team ryan martin who is also getting an extremely fast

00:33:21driver moving up huh i'm just gonna keep doing what i've been doing that's right oh this will put a lot

00:33:29of pressure on damon and nate to really perform for their teams because these captains made these moves

00:33:36to try to win that team championship what do you think about the team deal

00:33:45i don't mind it it helps y'all but at the same time the way he did it yeah you know

00:33:51like i told him last night i said i'll probably be the next one to go i said but i'd rather kind

00:33:56of be anywhere than with a snake we still had a chance we went out you know what i'm saying what i kind

00:34:03of said to me and nate talked about that we still had a chance for the championship we wasn't out

00:34:08but all that benefited was his pocket that's it and then he threw up in my face oh well

00:34:15i didn't have to pick you you ain't done for the team you ain't got a point you ain't went a round

00:34:22but you want to take all the money in your pocket and just sell out on your people

00:34:26that ain't no captain that's chicken

00:34:34all right well folks we are now going to move into the invitational round one drivers meeting folks

00:34:42this is the main event for the weekend this is the class where 32 drivers battle it out for forty

00:34:49thousand dollars it seems like those trades really open the floodgates for other team captains to try to

00:34:55make some moves i said no i said you've worth more than five he just don't like you man he don't

00:35:00like you he thinks he can't win a championship he don't want you to you know that's where we're at

00:35:06with mike right now that's the type of guy mike is you had sean trying to get mike murillo

00:35:12to trade scott taylor for five thousand dollars but for some reason murillo is not down with that

00:35:18he's trying to go from fourth to third yeah but he's not getting his paper right how much paper is

00:35:23it going to take ten thousand ten thousand you're good for it right i guess that's what uh top tier

00:35:29people go for are you talking about ryan oh wow

00:35:41wow we just recovered i love you man all right well look sean it looks like murillo is not going to

00:35:46crack yet we'll try next week buddy sorry and now after all the successful and unsuccessful trading

00:35:54plus our race your way in the 32 car field is set since he auctioned off two of his team members

00:36:01bode only has two drivers in the invitational today but kai's and ryan's investments are really paying off

00:36:08as they each have all five racers in unlike dave who only has four we'll go ahead and get the bucket

00:36:15here we'll draw out of this bucket real quick all right

00:36:26anyone asked me i think you're worth ten thousand thank you man you're welcome in the first round here

00:36:31in michigan eight teammates drew each other you got chuck 55 going up against b-rad sean had four

00:36:37racers coming in to this race unfortunately this guarantees that he'll have at the most three

00:36:42racers continuing on after this first round then the race that everyone's got their eye on it is a

00:36:48rematch between kai kelly and lizzie musy those two are the heaviest hitters on their team plus you

00:36:55factor in the history they have between each other this is going to be a good one then you have robin

00:37:01roberts versus ryan martin again two of the heaviest hitters on their team and for ryan martin who's

00:37:09trying to get to the top he needs all of his strongest racers to stay in as long as possible

00:37:15finally you have dave himself going up against paige coughlin paige has been trying to prove herself

00:37:20all season long and dave is the captain of the team which means there'll be a lot of pressure for

00:37:26paige and dave to get the win so i think you're in a better position now i do too i mean for sure

00:37:34now but dave was really wanting to make a run all right folks first pair here in the invitational

00:38:41and this is what it is it's what makes this sport and this particular series such an interesting deal

00:38:47and that's why we've seen so many different winners all year

00:40:09and kayla morton takes the win there brandon james getting all kinds of sideways over there in the left

00:40:15lane

00:40:19the right lane was a little more sketch up top man it was a little shaky it was all over the

00:40:23place but i am glad that we drew that lane and now we have some data in both lanes and i'm just

00:40:28hoping to keep this momentum going um there's something to be said about running winning five

00:40:32times in a row and uh hopefully we can just keep that up i was driving your mind drove to the center

00:40:37upheld and i'm about wrecking did you really damn that track is just so cold now yeah it is

00:40:59so i went up drew chips today for round one of the invitational i drew scott taylor i've not raced scott

00:41:04yet so it ought to be an interesting race so round one's a little bit different today we've had

00:41:10mother nature against us all weekend unfortunately it's a little cooler out so it's definitely going

00:41:20to be tricky and uh you're going to have to be on your a-game for sure to get down this track

00:41:34what's wrong it's trying to break it ain't clicking

00:41:41looks like scott taylor having issues out there stuck not backing up jiggle right there

00:41:46yeah mike murillo team captain needs to get out there and figure out what's going on

00:41:51with his teammate scott taylor put him on the clock

00:41:54he's gonna put him on the clock yeah all right so clay cole has put scott taylor on a two minute

00:42:01clock oh my see it broke anywhere i don't see anything oh yep right there did you shove it back

00:42:08okay you don't get it oh it ain't my team i don't give a one minute has surpassed y'all push me back

00:42:21i'm gonna try it maybe it goes red or something

00:42:26man clay if you don't give him extra time that's sorry all right so got about 10 seconds

00:42:34it's nine eight seven oh no we good six we good he's gonna tighten one thing four three

00:42:45he almost got it he's almost got it that is two minutes two minutes

00:43:04all right so clay cole will take the win in the peddling over there in that right lane scott taylor

00:43:27has something happened there right on the head damn does not make the pass we had a wire break on

00:43:34the trans break on the dash and uh we just needed a few minutes to to fix it he didn't want to give

00:43:39no extra time i know that clay cole is not going to give anybody one second to actually get a drag

00:43:45race we know that we established that so in the future anybody you know goes up against clay and he

00:43:50has a problem he ain't gonna give you time so you got that stuck in the back of your mind what happened

00:43:55brother tie trans break wouldn't work i just it ain't just ain't meant to be right now oh man i'm sorry

00:43:59oh good i didn't put you on the clock my guy did i'm sorry no you're fine i don't know if you could

00:44:03have got it fixed or not it's all good good yep i think we had one of the fastest cars on the

00:44:08property tonight and a wire you know one wire uh broke and um i thought that maybe you know the

00:44:15testing and stuff had paid off we do really good when the track's not great that's that's our specialty

00:44:20we're in the biggest slump we've ever been in but ain't one way to get out of it is keep digging

00:44:25you lay down in a slump you get covered up we ain't gonna lay down

00:44:28all right folks next pair that is going to be david gates going up against murder nova

00:44:37man i'm going to have to go up here and race my buddy sean murder nova

00:44:42try to get that win put him on the trailer

00:44:48man starting to go into these points and a half we got a shot

00:44:51we're not that far behind no you aren't a good you're in a good spot for sure yeah

00:44:59you're in a cheat it's achievable where you're at yes yes

00:45:04pretty tight yeah yeah yeah yeah but now it's gonna start doing this because they all got five guys in

00:45:11so normally we race uh first round during the day and you have to worry about a tricky track that's hot

00:45:17well this is a little bit different we're really far north it's cold and a cold track could be worse

00:45:24than a hot and greasy track

00:45:36david gates car has the capabilities of being one of the fastest cars on the property i know he's been

00:45:42struggling a little bit but i can't look at it that way i have to look at it like how much power is

00:45:48this lane going to take whenever i try to put it down and that's the route we're going to go

00:46:03uh

00:46:13takes the win he'll move on the next round

00:46:16job

00:46:18next bear coming at you is going to be b-wreck going up against chuck 55

00:46:27we just drew a teammate we drew chuck parker it sucks

00:46:29They're fast, but I really want to win first round.

00:46:32That's my simple goal for the week, win first round.

00:46:45Next pair coming at you is going to be B-Rack going up against Chuck 55.

00:46:59And Chuck 55 takes the win.

00:47:07All right, coming at you right now, that's going to be Disco Dean going up against Nate Sailor.

00:47:16At the end of the day, it's the captain's choice to do what they want.

00:47:19They can put us down in a reserve pool, trade us, swap us, nothing we can do about it.

00:47:23But Odie gave me the choice.

00:47:25He said, you pick where you want to go, that's where you can go.

00:47:28And to be honest, I didn't want to go to the first place team, Kai's team.

00:47:33I want to earn this championship.

00:47:36Like if we win, I don't want to be like, oh, well you got traded at the last minute onto Kai's team and he was in first place.

00:47:41I want to go to a team that's going to work their ass off and make it happen.

00:47:54Now it's crunch time.

00:47:56After this race, then it's points and a half, points and a half, and then double points.

00:48:00Like if you don't have your group and your together before then, people are going to go flying by you.

00:48:05I'm just looking for the opportunity to go win a championship.

00:48:10You look close to me.

00:48:11You look close to me.

00:48:12You look close to me.

00:48:13You look close to me.

00:48:14Good lap, mate.

00:48:15Thanks, brother.

00:48:16Good run.

00:48:17Did you make a clean head?

00:48:18Yeah, I was right there next to you the whole time, just getting loose down there like that.

00:48:22I lifted about the Montair cone just to be safe because it was getting wish-washy.

00:48:23I hear you.

00:48:24Good lap.

00:48:25Thanks, brother.

00:48:26Next pair, that is going to be Damon Merchant and his competitor, Jeff Lutz.

00:48:29Which one?

00:48:30Number one, sitting at around 700.

00:48:34Good run.

00:48:35Did you make a clean head or not?

00:48:36Yeah, I was right there next to you the whole time,

00:48:38just getting loose down there like that.

00:48:40I lifted about the Monarchon just to be safe,

00:48:43because it was getting wish-washy.

00:48:44I hear you.

00:48:45Good lap!

00:48:46Thanks, brother.

00:48:48Next pair, that is going to be Damon Merchant

00:48:50and his competitor, Jeff Lutz.

00:48:54What's wrong?

00:48:55Number one, sitting at around 700.

00:48:57We got your belt.

00:48:59Huh?

00:49:00We got your belt.

00:49:01Check it.

00:49:02We've just been fighting little gremlins all day, really.

00:49:04Uh, got a blower.

00:49:07We keep having cylinder one shut off randomly.

00:49:10So we got the coil swapped and a new spark plug wire on it.

00:49:15So we're just going to, I mean, it's time to go up.

00:49:19So we're going to give her hell.

00:49:20We drew Jeff Lutz for the first time this year.

00:49:23In all honesty, I haven't got to race very many 405 guys

00:49:26this season.

00:49:27He's another big block Chevy out here.

00:49:29There's not too many of us out here.

00:49:30So just going to have to find out if his big block's faster

00:49:33than my big block.

00:49:34What do you think?

00:49:37I don't know.

00:49:38I didn't get to see Damon's earlier pass.

00:49:40I'm not worried about him.

00:49:41I'm just worried about the cold track.

00:49:43And I went over and asked Ryan.

00:49:45I said, what's your plan?

00:49:45He goes, man, I think I'm going to leave it alone.

00:49:47I said, yeah, I think we're going to too.

00:49:49He's 12th.

00:49:50I said, well, pay attention to us because we're

00:49:52going to leave it alone.

00:49:54Don't you know I draw Damon Merchant?

00:49:56You know, it's been cold all day.

00:49:57It's been raining.

00:49:58It is what it is.

00:49:59Let's give it what we got, you know?

00:50:01So our test pass earlier today went really well.

00:50:04We ran pretty close against Ryan.

00:50:06And I said, let's just rerun that run.

00:50:08Damon Merchant takes the wig right past there.

00:50:14Woo!

00:50:15I'm done with that.

00:50:16Damon won his race.

00:50:17So far, my trade is going exactly the direction

00:50:29I needed it to go.

00:50:31His test passes, they sucked.

00:50:33Broke a blower, burn up a spark plug.

00:50:35But he showed up, but he showed up.

00:50:38He's a great guy.

00:50:39And he's a great guy.

00:50:41He's a great guy.

00:50:42And he's a great guy.

00:50:43He's a great guy.

00:50:44I'm a great guy.

00:50:46But he showed up for an invitation in round one.

00:50:48And that's exactly why we paid the money for him,

00:50:50because he's worth it.

00:50:52Woo!

00:50:53Had to do a little driving that time.

00:50:55All right, folks, this next pair, that's

00:50:57going to be Larry Larson going up against Axeman.

00:51:01Larry Larson.

00:51:06Larry?

00:51:07Seven times you beat him.

00:51:08Shoot, I don't know how many times I've raced Larry.

00:51:11I got him the last time we raced.

00:51:13But it was nose to nose in Tulsa.

00:51:16Larry has stepped his game up a lot.

00:51:19So this is not going to be easy.

00:51:23Not going to be easy.

00:51:25Put my mittens on now.

00:51:26What's that?

00:51:27I'm going to put my mittens on.

00:51:28You're all set.

00:51:32Cold out here.

00:51:33Yes, it is.

00:51:35Pulled Larry, Roach, Axeman.

00:51:37Same guy tunes his, that tunes Kayla's, and a couple other ones.

00:51:40So I know about how fast they are.

00:51:42I think we're fully capable of outrunning them.

00:51:44You're going to have to be good on the light

00:51:46and make a nice, clean run.

00:51:57The track's really cold right now.

00:51:58The sun's went down.

00:52:00It hasn't rained this afternoon, which is great.

00:52:02But the track conditions are going to start to get a little treacherous

00:52:05down there from half track on.

00:52:06All right, folks, this next pair, that's going to be Larry Larson going up against Axeman.

00:52:23Axeman.

00:52:24And Axeman.

00:52:24First step looks back.

00:52:25Good job, baby.

00:52:26Good job.

00:52:27Axeman moving on to next round.

00:52:28We rolled in, when that light turned green, I come off that button, I've never seen him again.

00:52:57Like, this thing is walking up on the center line, I'm fighting it back, fighting it back.

00:53:02I kept telling myself, I'm not going to let off.

00:53:04My light come on, I said, whew.

00:53:06No, that's another bullet.

00:53:08Man.

00:53:09I'm glad to get past that first round.

00:53:12Next pair, that's going to be Giuseppe going up against Tony McKinney.

00:53:18So in Maple Grove, we had Nate first round, which is tough.

00:53:21He's fast.

00:53:22Obviously, he was coming off a win.

00:53:23Yeah, he's been moving lately.

00:53:24Yeah, so he got us by a fender, but we made a good run.

00:53:29The car's fast.

00:53:30We made some changes.

00:53:31We changed the combination up.

00:53:32Yeah.

00:53:33So I'm feeling confident for the rest of the season.

00:53:34I feel real good.

00:53:35Yeah, I'm feeling good.

00:53:36Real good.

00:53:37Going in, we got the chip draw, and we drew Tony McKinney for first round here.

00:53:40Haven't raced Tony McKinney this year, so not sure how fast he is or not, haven't really

00:53:44gauged him yet, but we're about to find out here in a little bit.

00:53:47The car's really fast.

00:53:56It's flying, but we got to make it to the finish line.

00:54:02We tried a couple more things.

00:54:03We'll see if it makes it to the finish line this next run here.

00:54:17With the win, that car was out of here.

00:54:36It was fast, fast, right through the stripe.

00:54:38Didn't see Tony McKinney that whole run, and we pulled off a win.

00:54:42I just had to cut gas.

00:54:43Yeah.

00:54:44I knew I had to.

00:54:45I know how fast you are.

00:54:46Yeah, that was a good run probably right there.

00:54:49Yeah.

00:54:50Yeah, wheels up.

00:54:51It was moving around a little bit, but.

00:54:52Was it?

00:54:53Yeah.

00:54:54Man, we packed the wheels, and then they still had the wheels packed.

00:54:56And the 1-2 ship, and then I bailed it.

00:54:58As soon as I bailed it wiggle, I was like, oh, and I cut gas, and it almost went over

00:55:01into your lane.

00:55:02Oh .

00:55:03So I was able to save it.

00:55:04Yeah.

00:55:05Hey.

00:55:06All right, buddy.

00:55:07Congratulations.

00:55:08All right, man.

00:55:10All right, next pair coming at you.

00:55:11We got Callie Mills going up against Mike Murillo.

00:55:12Got $100 on the left lane.

00:55:15Going into the first round of Race Your Way In against Jerry Bird, and had just a killer

00:55:20pass, and broke a rod.

00:55:22We're applying, you know, 5,000 horsepower at, you know, 2.2 seconds in.

00:55:27Have we reached a threshold, a limit?

00:55:29You know, I don't know.

00:55:30What does this mean?

00:55:31It means we're broke.

00:55:32That's what it means.

00:55:33We're broke.

00:55:34I draw none other than Mike Murillo.

00:55:44Unfortunately, he broke his motor.

00:55:46Like, it's, I guess, in pieces.

00:55:48Not good.

00:55:49I hate that for them.

00:55:50Very unfortunate luck.

00:55:51But on our end, we got lucky again.

00:55:53Yeah!

00:55:54All right, Drew.

00:55:55All right, so Kelly Mills pulls and shoots and hits it back straight.

00:56:12Nice job.

00:56:13I got out there, got loose on the 2-3 shift.

00:56:19It had the wheels up and just got sideways.

00:56:21I needed to have the shootout a little bit sooner because it was, and that was not good.

00:56:26So, just had it too hopped up.

00:56:28Next pair coming at you right now, Kai Kelly going up against Lizzie Musi.

00:56:35You know, I know you're sick, so there's nothing you can do about it.

00:56:38I honestly, like, standing, like, I feel like I could throw up any pin.

00:56:42That's how I feel like.

00:56:43Really?

00:56:44Okay.

00:56:45I'm not feeling the greatest this weekend.

00:56:47I'm trying the best I can, so I'm pushing through it.

00:56:50And guess what?

00:56:51I draw a freaking Kai first round again.

00:56:54Definitely didn't want to freaking race him again.

00:56:56No matter what, one of us is going on to the next round for the team.

00:56:59So, that's the way I kind of look at it.

00:57:01Let me win one.

00:57:06Round one, I drew Lizzie.

00:57:07I don't like racing my own team.

00:57:09I definitely don't like racing Lizzie.

00:57:10It seems like every time I get beside her, I get emotional.

00:57:12And I don't like the feeling, and I'd rather her just draw somebody else

00:57:17because her car is fast, and we've got to run the hell out of my car to try to outrun her.

00:57:21So, it just sucks because there's two fast people, and one of us has got to go home first round when we draw each other.

00:57:26We've got to be on top of our game.

00:57:41We've got to go as fast as we've possibly ever been right here today if we want to get out of first round.

00:57:47It's probably the toughest first round draw you can get.

00:57:49It's probably the toughest first round draw you can get.

00:57:50Next pair coming at you right now.

00:58:04Kai Kelly going up against Lizzie Musi.

00:58:08Kai Kelly gets the redemption there. Takes the win. Lots of smoke down there in Lizzie's lane.

00:58:36At the very end of the track.

00:58:39I couldn't imagine having more than one motor, where you're cool with just burning it down.

00:58:44Every lap.

00:58:45What the ?

00:58:46Yeah, yeah.

00:58:47I don't get it.

00:58:48They said he was up against the wall. Was you?

00:58:51I don't think so.

00:58:53Oh, I can't.

00:58:56What a good thing about it, Sean.

00:58:57It ate itself up before the finish line, but you had me anyway.

00:59:00Good job.

00:59:01At least we're one and one for the day.

00:59:03Oh, whatever.

00:59:05If they ain't blowing the motor up, they ain't trying to win, and that's exactly what I want my team to do when they draw me.

00:59:09I want them to win, because I want the fastest car to go to the next round, because at the end of the day, that gets us more points.

00:59:15I'm still proud of you, though. You're my hero.

00:59:17Why?

00:59:18You're fighting what you're fighting.

00:59:19Just stop.

00:59:21Hard on me this weekend, so...

00:59:24I still love you.

00:59:26Always.

00:59:27I'm about to cry.

00:59:28Good job.

00:59:29I don't care.

00:59:30Go kick ass, okay?

00:59:33Okay.

00:59:36Robin Roberts going up against his team captain, Brian Martin.

00:59:44Here we are now, it's nighttime.

00:59:46It is really cold out here.

00:59:49The track surface is good for about 100 foot, but after that, it's not great.

00:59:52You know, I'm trying to make this deal a comeback, right?

00:59:55So we won the last race, we're trying to do well, and all the guys, we've all talked like,

00:59:59hey, we just need a couple of good draws.

01:00:01And here I am today, and I drew Robin Roberts again.

01:00:04Good luck, man.

01:00:05Be safe.

01:00:06Good luck.

01:00:07Good luck, Brian.

01:00:08Good luck.

01:00:12Good luck, homie.

01:00:13You too, man.

01:00:14Be safe.

01:00:15He has one of the fastest cars here.

01:00:17Very similar combination to mine.

01:00:19I mean, not who I wanted.

01:00:20We're pulling out all the stops.

01:00:22We'll see if it's enough.

01:00:25You know, I hate drawing Ryan.

01:00:27One, he's my buddy.

01:00:29Two, like, he's my team captain.

01:00:37But we got Ryan, we're gonna have to make it work.

01:00:39Hey, that didn't even really look close, did it?

01:00:54We're rolling in the lights, and I know he likes to do the double bulge real fast, so I tried to light mine real quick behind him.

01:01:08We rolled left at the same time, and he just flat out run us in the middle of the track.

01:01:11He just pulled a fender on me.

01:01:13You know, I hate to lose, and it sucks.

01:01:15But the team, four out of five, are moving on to the next round.

01:01:18Keep gaining points for Team Ryan Martin.

01:01:20You know what?

01:01:21I've drawn my teammate four times in a row.

01:01:22Started with him, then I drew Giuseppe, then I drew Bird Boys, and I drew him again.

01:01:27What about drawing Lizzie twice in one day?

01:01:29Yeah, no, grade eight in there.

01:01:31Good job.

01:01:32And then I hugged her and started crying.

01:01:34It's still in there somewhere.

01:01:35You did?

01:01:36Yeah.

01:01:38This pair here, I've got Paige Coughlin going up against her teammate and team captain, Daddy Dave.

01:01:47Car just needs to do what it did earlier.

01:01:49What's that?

01:01:50It just needs to do what it did earlier.

01:01:51Yeah, it will.

01:01:52You'll be nice.

01:01:54Tonight was a nice, smooth run, and pretty similar.

01:01:58All righty.

01:01:59Oh, .

01:02:00We're here at US 131 Dragway.

01:02:02We finally get to go some rounds.

01:02:04You know, we were able to make a test pass.

01:02:06We're going up for first round.

01:02:07We've been battling, like, the cold weather, the rain, sunshine, clouds.

01:02:11But finally, we're able to hit the track.

01:02:13We're ready to rock and roll.

01:02:14We went up for chip draw, and we drew Daddy Dave.

01:02:17But you know what?

01:02:18Positive outlook on this.

01:02:19One of us from Team Daddy Dave is going to be guaranteed a spot in round two.

01:02:28We drew our own teammate again, Paige Coughlin.

01:02:40We raced her a few weeks ago at another event.

01:02:42This time, I hope it's a little closer race, because she got this new motor in there.

01:02:45We'll go up here, let go of the button, and see if we can't go on round two.

01:02:58And Daddy Dave takes the win.

01:03:21Looked like Paige Coughlin was out in front, pulled the chutes a little early.

01:03:25Oh, my God.

01:03:26I'm so scared.

01:03:28Why?

01:03:29What happened?

01:03:30Oh, it was going everywhere but straight for a minute.

01:03:32And I'm like, oh, no, no, no.

01:03:34Hey, good job.

01:03:35Oh, my God.

01:03:36So scary.

01:03:37Knocked my head up at the tree.

01:03:38I go, where is she going?

01:03:39You know what?

01:03:40That is it.

01:03:41Yeah, it was .

01:03:42I got to keep you in line, at least on the top part.

01:03:45You know?

01:03:46That's the second time I've left before you.

01:03:48Yeah.

01:03:49All right.

01:03:50Next pair coming after, we've got John Odoms.

01:03:52They're going up against Bobby.

01:03:53They're coding me.

01:03:54We're trying to get some points.

01:03:55We kind of got our whole team, like, just smashed out from under us.

01:04:10And our great captain decided to just sell everybody to pad his own pockets to hell with

01:04:14everybody else.

01:04:15His ass still ain't racing.

01:04:16He ain't got a single point this year.

01:04:18Went a single round this year.

01:04:20But he put all that money in his pocket to help the rest of the team.

01:04:24Whatever.

01:04:25It is what it is.

01:04:26I'll probably be trading next week.

01:04:28I don't really know where I'm going.

01:04:30Don't really care.

01:04:31I'd rather be anywhere than with a snake like that.

01:04:34And John Odom will take the win there.

01:04:51Yeah, John.

01:04:52We got the win.

01:04:53At least that one's moving on.

01:04:55Yeah, John, we got the win.

01:04:56At least that one's moving on.

01:04:58I was pulling back, too.

01:04:59Bobby, I saw you the whole time, dude.

01:05:01The whole time, brother.

01:05:03Were you like, there was a point, I didn't.

01:05:05Did you see me the whole time?

01:05:07I can see your nose right here.

01:05:08Yeah, the whole time.

01:05:10Battle of the turbo cars coming at you right now.

01:05:13Got Chris Rankin over in the left lane in the conquest.

01:05:17Going up against Chuck Seitzinger in the right lane.

01:05:25We drew Chuck, and him and I are usually door to door,

01:05:29so it could be anybody's race.

01:05:30Him and I are both hot, strong as hell,

01:05:32so hopefully we can both have a good drag race,

01:05:35and I come out on top, and I go in round two.

01:05:37So that's it.

01:05:38Chris Rankin in the left lane, twin turbo con crest.

01:05:40Going up against Chuck Seitzinger, twin turbo mustang in the right lane.

01:05:52This is the first time I've been in the invitation on three or four

01:05:54weeks, so I need to go to the semifinals,

01:05:57so when I go to Galat, I'm not in the race your way in, so.

01:06:01But right now, I just can't give up, so I'm going to do the best I can.

01:06:24All right, Chris Rankin will get the win.

01:06:29Chuck Seitzinger has problems on the hit.

01:06:33All right, folks, we got Jimmy Taylor going up against Justin Swanstrom.

01:06:38It's been so cold here.

01:06:55It's pretty rough.

01:06:56We'll see how it plays out.

01:06:57I know the tracks are going to be very tricky for everybody today, too,

01:07:01but everybody's got to go down the same surface.

01:07:03All right, folks, we got Jimmy Taylor going up against Justin Swanstrom.

01:07:22And Jimmy Taylor will take the win.

01:07:39Justin Swanstrom having to pedal over there in that right lane.

01:07:43Going into round two, Ryan Martin has four racers moving on.

01:07:46Meanwhile, Dave and Kai only have three.

01:07:49It does feel like Ryan is picking up some momentum in his program.

01:07:52Look, he came off his first invitational win last week.

01:07:56Now, he's picked up Nate Saylor, and he's looking to continue

01:07:59that forward movement.

01:08:01Nate Saylor and Damon Merchant are moving on to round two.

01:08:04It really seems like they're trying to prove that they are worth

01:08:07the investment that was made.

01:08:09All right, folks, I'm going to have my driver's draw chips.

01:08:11All righty, where are my number ones?

01:08:24Kelly Mills versus Kayla Morton.

01:08:27Chuck 55 and Giuseppe.

01:08:30Yes, Giuseppe, that is a two.

01:08:33Oh, Axeman versus Ryan Martin.

01:08:37Oh, wow.

01:08:39Daddy Dave versus Murder Nova.

01:08:43Chris Rankin versus Nate Saylor.

01:08:47It's going to be John Odom versus Damon Merchant.

01:08:50Jimmy Taylor and Kai Kelly.

01:08:55Ooh.

01:08:56All right, so my eighth and final pair

01:08:59will be Rich Bruder versus Clay Cole.

01:09:03All right, drivers, well, y'all got some time to think about

01:09:05what you got to do to your cars because this round will be run tomorrow.

01:09:09We appreciate you coming.

01:09:11See you tomorrow.

01:09:13Unfortunately, the rain yesterday set us back late enough

01:09:16that we were only able to get the first round of racing in.

01:09:19That means we will have to be spending one more day here in Michigan

01:09:23to finish up the rounds and determine who will be walking away

01:09:26with the $40,000 Invitational prize mode.

01:09:29How are you?

01:09:30What's up?

01:09:31How's everybody doing today?

01:09:32Good.

01:09:39All right, folks, we're going to go ahead and get started on racing.

01:09:41For those that were here last night, you know that we made it through

01:09:44our first round of the Invitational class.

01:09:48We're going to finish it up today on a beautiful Sunday here in Michigan.

01:09:52First pair here in this second round of the Invitational class,

01:09:57Callie Mills going up against Caleb Horton.

01:09:59You ready?

01:10:00Yeah, I think so.

01:10:01Last night, so we changed the cam, you know,

01:10:05to make more horsepower out in the back.

01:10:07And so they didn't have the drive shaft curve close enough to it

01:10:10because they were trying to see what it would do

01:10:12since we had that fight against Mike.

01:10:13And hell, it went out there, and it was like .

01:10:16You did a hell of a job last night grabbing it.

01:10:18Yeah.

01:10:19I'm like, so I just hope we can make it down.

01:10:21And if I can do my job on the tree, I think we'll be OK.

01:10:23Yeah.

01:10:24Today's a new day.

01:10:25Second round of Invitational.

01:10:26We drew Kayla Morton.

01:10:28I'm going to have my work cut out for me because my car has not been happy.

01:10:33But last night, we made a good pass to, like, the 330.

01:10:35And then when it shifted into high gear, it just got sideways and did not go well.

01:10:39So hopefully we can get it to go A to B and I can do my job on the tree

01:10:47because I think I'm going to have to have a really good light.

01:10:52Perfect.

01:10:54Nailed it.

01:10:55Started off the day good, guys.

01:10:57Callie is not one to take lightly.

01:10:59She's getting better and better, faster and faster each race.

01:11:02She's been to a semifinal this year.

01:11:04We are first pair, so that is another factor to kind of take into account.

01:11:22But we have momentum.

01:11:23We've made pass after pass and just looking to get six round wins here in a row, which is super exciting.

01:11:34And Kayla Morton going to take the win there.

01:11:54Callie Mills.

01:11:55Car makes a hard move out there.

01:11:57We both be driving.

01:12:00All right, next pair, we got Chuck 55 going up against Giuseppe.

01:12:05We just need to figure out, we got a Giuseppe.

01:12:10He's got a good setup, fast car, but he's been struggling a little bit.

01:12:17I'm going to try to tear their head off on the light.

01:12:19And if I can leave with them, it gets game over because I'm telling you, I'll pull them on the big end.

01:12:25We hold things together, I'll make more power on the big end.

01:12:28We need to make it to the finals.

01:12:30That's it, I know.

01:12:31We need to get to the finals, baby.

01:12:34All right, you guys good over there?

01:12:36We're good.

01:12:37Right now, I just put a bunch of fuel, the air fuel ratio that the car would normally run at, which has just changed.

01:12:43The weather, whatever, don't know.

01:12:45But now it needs a lot more fuel in the car, so we put more fuel in it.

01:12:49Chuck 55, I know he made it to the finals a few races back there.

01:12:53We're really going to just try to run our own race, try to go as fast as we can what the track will take.

01:12:57But I'm going to just worry about our program right now and try to push the limits of the track and see if we can pull it off.

01:13:02Right now, we've got four guys in.

01:13:05We've got the most guys still going rounds right now.

01:13:07We're the only ones who have four in.

01:13:08So we're going to try to close that gap this weekend and hopefully we can get two of our guys in the finals.

01:13:11And I'm hoping for all four of our guys for the semifinals left and two of our guys in the finals to get max points out of this weekend and close that gap against Kai there.

01:13:50And Giuseppe going to take the win there.

01:13:55Nice pass from him.

01:13:56It was loose out there, Chuck.

01:13:58What happened?

01:13:59I did what I didn't want to do.

01:14:00Shook?

01:14:01No, we took power out of it on the hit, not knowing what to take.

01:14:05Yeah.

01:14:06Plus, you left on me.

01:14:07Oh, yeah.

01:14:08And so that didn't help.

01:14:09Yeah, yeah.

01:14:10Man, I mean, when I felt the power ramp in, I started reeling you up.

01:14:14Yeah.

01:14:15It's too late.

01:14:16Too late.

01:14:17All right, folks, this right here is going to be a good one.

01:14:18That is going to be Axman going up against Ryan Martin.

01:14:22Better make a straight hit.

01:14:23We'll have something for him.

01:14:24Definitely can't pedal against Ryan, so you're going to have to drive.

01:14:27No, no.

01:14:28Got a tough competitor, Ryan Martin.

01:14:30The maddest man on the planet as far as I'm concerned.

01:14:33Like, I mean, he's tough.

01:14:34He's got a couple advantages.

01:14:35He's changed his new car over.

01:14:37He went to that new blower.

01:14:38But I'm going to figure out some way to get around here.

01:14:42Love you.

01:14:43I've got Axman first round.

01:14:44They got a new motor in the car.

01:14:46I expect them to be a handful.

01:14:47So we're not going to turn this car down.

01:14:49I'm going to bank on the track holding what I'm going to put in it.

01:14:52And hopefully it does.

01:15:05My team is sitting really good.

01:15:06We've got four cars in right now, which is what we hope for.

01:15:09Nobody else has that many in.

01:15:10The trade move that we did, Nate's still in.

01:15:12And it was a smart move.

01:15:13I need all four of my guys to advance to next round because we didn't draw each other.

01:15:17And it would be fantastic if we could get there.

01:15:24Yep.

01:15:25The one I took already, I stuck to fearing the sky.

01:15:27It's a ring.

01:15:28Oh, really?

01:15:29Obviously, it's really true.

01:15:30And we did back with Travis going in a solo car, but we'll be fine.

01:15:31But, you know, it's much of a capital gain number.

01:15:32It's been $1,000.

01:15:33It's being for you.

01:15:38What're that away?

01:15:39Guess the life.

01:15:41Was that a snake?

01:15:42No, no, no.

01:15:43Hey, the guess.

01:15:44Super get it.

01:15:45He can't be mad.

01:15:46He did it last week.

01:15:48I told that.

01:15:50I said, you can't be mad ever again.

01:15:52You did it last week.

01:15:53Because he did it last week.

01:15:55How'd you do it, baby?

01:15:57I'm sorry, but I had to do it.

01:16:00Woo!

01:16:01So unfortunately, we had a car tuned up

01:16:03and a good car for the weekend, and somebody guessed

01:16:06and put us on the trailer.

01:16:07We all got the same opportunity.

01:16:09That's just not the way I raced.

01:16:10He's a guessing one.

01:16:13Hey, hey.

01:16:14Hey, one day you're going to have a car fast enough

01:16:16you ain't got to do that.

01:16:17Hey, let me tell you.

01:16:18That blower is 600s faster, and you know it.

01:16:20It's all good.

01:16:21I know you're going to hit some of those,

01:16:22and some of them you ain't.

01:16:23That one you hit.

01:16:24Good job.

01:16:25I had to make up 600s, brother.

01:16:26I get it.

01:16:27Axeman ended up guessing on the tree,

01:16:29and as we know, Ryan Martin absolutely hates that.

01:16:32But it just goes to show that these racers

01:16:35will do whatever it takes to get the win.

01:16:38Everybody knew you were going to do it.

01:16:40Next pair, that's going to be Daddy Dave

01:16:42going up against Murder Nova.

01:16:45It sucks because what do you do here?

01:16:47You know what I mean?

01:16:48Like, you can't turn it down because you'll get outran.

01:16:51You can't turn it up anymore because the track

01:16:53ain't going to take it.

01:16:54You know what I mean?

01:16:55You can't turn it .

01:16:56Yeah.

01:16:57That's going to be a drag race for sure.

01:16:59We finally don't suck, so don't turn it down.

01:17:02This is where your tune-ups get tricky.

01:17:04I drew Daddy Dave, and we're the fourth pair.

01:17:07It's not a whole lot of heat in the track.

01:17:09This might be one of those days where a later round

01:17:12probably would have been better.

01:17:14Dave's a tough draw no matter what.

01:17:16Even if you have Dave outgunned, which I truly believe I do,

01:17:19Dave is Dave, and Dave tends to win races.

01:17:23Sean's been hauling ass lately, going rounds,

01:17:35and I couldn't be happier for the guy.

01:17:37But when we pull the start line, the friendship's over right there.

01:17:40Next pair, that's going to be Daddy Dave going up against Murder Nova.

01:17:54That was a drag race, folks, but Murder Nova gets there first.

01:18:11Turns on the wind light.

01:18:12Nice job.

01:18:13Ride, ride, ride.

01:18:16So we take the light.

01:18:18We left together.

01:18:20He got me a little bit in the middle.

01:18:22I put about half a car on me on the finish line.

01:18:24Side by side.

01:18:25It was.

01:18:26It was a good race, man.

01:18:28This next pair, that's going to be Chris Rankin going up against Nate Sailor.

01:18:33Okay, we can go up.

01:18:35Second round, we have Chris Rankin.

01:18:38He can make a stupid fast pass, but it's one here or there.

01:18:42Our car's, like, more consistent, I would think.

01:18:44So as far as the matchup goes, he's going to have to treat me,

01:18:47and I'm just going to make it impossible for him to do that.

01:18:49He got traded to Team Bodie, which is where I came from.

01:19:03I love my old team still.

01:19:05In fact, I'd go back to him if I had to.

01:19:07But now we're Team Ryan, and we're going to do everything we can

01:19:10to chop their heads off.

01:19:19Crazy car, fast and .

01:19:32See how fast that boy is.

01:19:34Oh, God.

01:19:40He guessed, I knew he knew he had to.

01:19:42He ain't got nothing for this car, let's be honest.

01:19:45Man, I went red dude, I knew I was want to

01:19:47thinkun shada with your ass, dude.

01:19:48That's all right.

01:19:49I'm sorry, man.

01:19:50We're moving on anyway.

01:19:51You ain't sorry.

01:19:52Don't lie.

01:19:53You're moving on anyway.

01:19:54Yep.

01:19:55All right, next pair coming up right here.

01:19:56It's going to be John Odom going up against Damon Merchant.

01:19:59Did you see John make a pass yesterday?

01:20:01No, I didn't.

01:20:02His test pass wasn't very good, but they said he ran pretty good in his first E1 pass.

01:20:06I don't know who he raced, though.

01:20:08He raced Bobby to Dodie.

01:20:10We'll talk to Bobby and see how it went.

01:20:12We know how Bobby runs.

01:20:13Bobby's not shy.

01:20:14We got our draw last night in John Odom.

01:20:17I raced that car twice this year, once with Jim driving it, once with John driving it.

01:20:21We've outran them both times, but after the problems that we've been having this weekend,

01:20:25you can't count anybody out.

01:20:27I don't know if it's a deal where, you know, his tuner's going to have all the confidence in him

01:20:30to get it down that cold racetrack today.

01:20:32So as long as Vinyl hit on all eight cylinders, I'm pretty sure we can outrun that car again.

01:20:37Jim, we throwing in the kick-ass tune.

01:20:40I got Damon Merchant today.

01:20:43You know him and Jim have had a little drama.

01:20:45Now he's on Kai Kelly's team.

01:20:47As you guys know, Kai Kelly's number one.

01:20:48He is fast.

01:20:49So that just makes it a little bit harder for Team Swanstrom just to get to that spot.

01:20:54But we're working really hard.

01:21:01Jim had a problem with his car.

01:21:02He went right last night.

01:21:03So he's out already.

01:21:04Justin's out.

01:21:05He had a problem with his car.

01:21:06So let's just see if we can go out and get us in the finals and we'll help Team Swanstrom.

01:21:13Team-wise, I still got three in.

01:21:14We lost David and Lizzie.

01:21:15Ron Martin's got three just like we got three.

01:21:17If we can just make it to the next round and they all win, we'll be tied up with him.

01:21:21We'll keep points in between us.

01:21:23He can't catch us.

01:21:28And David Merchant gets the win.

01:21:46Great pass here in the left lane for David.

01:21:49Takes the win there and move on to the next round.

01:21:51Whoo!

01:21:52Baby, that's a good race.

01:21:53It was a good one.

01:21:54Oh, I didn't think he was coming with no weak .

01:21:59No, I wasn't.

01:22:00We were right there.

01:22:01I'm super proud of you, man.

01:22:02That was a great race.

01:22:03Good job.

01:22:04Good job.

01:22:05Next pair coming at you right now.

01:22:07Got Jimmy Taylor going up against Kai Kelly.

01:22:10Hey, man.

01:22:12Welcome to the team today, man.

01:22:14Don't suck.

01:22:15You need some help.

01:22:16I'm available today.

01:22:17Don't forget nothing.

01:22:18All right?

01:22:19Got it.

01:22:20Let go of the button.

01:22:21Kick Mr. Jimmy Taylor's ass.

01:22:25Let go of the button on time.

01:22:27We're back.

01:22:28We're in Michigan.

01:22:29We're starting round two in the Invitational.

01:22:30We won last night.

01:22:31We got that monkey off our back.

01:22:32We got Jimmy Taylor.

01:22:33He took out Justin Swanstrom yesterday,

01:22:35so he must be fast, but we're ready for him.

01:22:50Get out.

01:22:51Jimmy Taylor is our next day.

01:22:52Jimmy, I'm going to be in the car.

01:22:53Jimmy's also another Procharger car.

01:22:55Prochargers are hard to beat.

01:22:56Some guys are just bouncing data off each other

01:22:57and hooking each other's computers to their cars,

01:22:58and they're all getting faster and faster.

01:22:59Pro chargers are hard to beat.

01:23:01Some guys are just bouncing data off each other

01:23:03and hooking each other's computers to their cars,

01:23:04and they're all getting faster and faster.

01:23:25Hey, Kai, kill him!

01:23:27Gets there first, with a great pass there, down the track.

01:23:34We just got through round two, which felt like round one,

01:23:37because it was the first race of the day,

01:23:38and our car went really fast.

01:23:40Adam nailed the tune-up.

01:23:42I think I did pretty good on the tree.

01:23:45Jimmy Taylor, he pulled on me in the middle a little bit,

01:23:47and then my car shifted into high, just went around it.

01:23:52It was a lot faster than I thought I was about to go.

01:23:54I'm real happy with it, and I think we got a hot rod.

01:23:57I think as long as I do my job,

01:23:58I think they got their hands full today.

01:24:00All right, last pair here in the Invitational class.

01:24:03Rich Bruder, going to go up against Clay Cole.

01:24:06We double-checked all the wiring and the fittings

01:24:07on the front of the car over there?

01:24:09Yes, sir.

01:24:09And the suspension's good up front?

01:24:11Yep, yep.

01:24:12How do you feel about it?

01:24:13I feel good.

01:24:14I feel really good.

01:24:14We got a good driver.

01:24:15Yeah?

01:24:16Yeah?

01:24:16I got Rich Bruder.

01:24:17I've not faced off against him yet.

01:24:19I know he's got a fast hot rod, but I feel like we're probably

01:24:22a little bit faster on the big end.

01:24:25We're going to go up there, see what we got for Rich Bruder,

01:24:27and hopefully we'll go on with the third round.

01:24:30So last night, it was really cold.

01:24:31The track temp was really, really down.

01:24:33It was bottom 40s.

01:24:35So we had to pull a lot out of our tune up

01:24:37just to get down the track.

01:24:38And if you've seen the pass, it was pretty sketchy already.

01:24:40So today, being the complete opposite,

01:24:42we're going to be able to put all that power back in the car,

01:24:45and we're going to go a lot faster today down the track.

01:24:47And we're going to make a good A to B pass.

01:25:03We got Clay Cole.

01:25:04I haven't raced him this year yet.

01:25:05He's been doing good.

01:25:06But like I said, we got our hot rod back,

01:25:08and I'm not even worried it was in the next lane.

01:25:10We're going to race our race, our lane,

01:25:12and turn on that wind light.

01:25:15We got our best.

01:25:15And Rich Grooter takes the win.

01:25:35Nice job there, Rich Grooter going round.

01:25:42We made a clean pass straight down.

01:25:44We got that win on to round three right now.

01:25:47Keep it going.

01:25:48You good, bud?

01:25:49Oh, yeah.

01:25:50I had to lift.

01:25:51Did you?

01:25:51Yeah.

01:25:52It was going that way.

01:25:53I was like, this ain't worth it, bro.

01:25:54Yeah.

01:25:55You know the deal.

01:25:55Oh, yeah.

01:25:56Yeah.

01:25:57Good race, though, bro.

01:25:57You made a good lick.

01:25:58Yeah.

01:25:58You know.

01:25:59Good job.

01:25:59We got some figured out, and hope we go some rounds now.

01:26:02No, good job, man.

01:26:03You guys are killing it.

01:26:04Good job.

01:26:04You can kill it this year, buddy.

01:26:06All right, folks, that'll do it for the second round

01:26:08of the Invitational Class.

01:26:12Going into the third round, Ryan

01:26:14has three racers left in, while Dave and Kai only have two.

01:26:18Even though Ryan Martin is out of the race,

01:26:20his teammates are still gaining ground

01:26:22on the two teams in front of him.

01:26:24All right, we can go ahead and start our Invitational Drivers

01:26:26meeting for the third round.

01:26:27Let's go ahead and draw chips.

01:26:29Gently.

01:26:30Gently.

01:26:30God bless.

01:26:33All right, my drivers have their chips.

01:26:35Where are my number ones?

01:26:38Going to be Damon Merchant versus Kayla Morton.

01:26:40Number twos.

01:26:42Giuseppe versus Kai Beller.

01:26:46How fast did you say it was going?

01:26:47I'm not sure.

01:26:48I don't even know.

01:26:49Number three is Rich Bruder versus Axman.

01:26:53That's not beautiful.

01:26:55Rich means the fourth and final pair

01:26:58will be Nate Sailor versus Murder Nova.

01:27:01All right, drivers, you know what you got to do.

01:27:03Go back to your pits, get your cars turned around.

01:27:05Put them in the staging lanes.

01:27:06One of you is going to win $40,000.

01:27:09Let's go.

01:27:11All right, first pair here in the third round.

01:27:14The Invitational Class is going to have Damon Merchant going up

01:27:16against Kayla Morton.

01:27:18If we let it lay over against her out back,

01:27:21she'll drive around us.

01:27:22Her quicker than John down low, and it pulls way harder out back.

01:27:30So all right, round three here with Drew Kayla.

01:27:33It's hard to come to one of these deals super confident when, you know,

01:27:36she's running really good this weekend.

01:27:38We've been struggling.

01:27:39We've been getting by, but we've been struggling a little bit.

01:27:40But we feel like we do got a hot rod right now.

01:27:44So we're not here for no reason.

01:27:45You know, we're going to go up there and do our thing.

01:27:47We're the first pair down and hopefully put our ass on the trailer.

01:27:52Didn't get to do it yesterday.

01:27:53So maybe today's the day.

01:28:00Ready, suit up.

01:28:01All right, suit up.

01:28:04Good luck.

01:28:06See you down there.

01:28:08All right.

01:28:09OK.

01:28:39All right.

01:28:41First pair here in the third round.

01:28:43The official class is going up against the table.

01:28:45Morton.

01:28:46Damn it.

01:28:47And Damon Merchant will take the win there.

01:28:49You know the out of it.

01:28:51Great drag race between both those cars.

01:28:53Woo!

01:28:55Yeah.

01:28:56Stop it.

01:28:57I said at the very beginning, if we finish in the final eight,

01:28:59at every race, consistency wins over just a win here and a win there.

01:29:05So I can't be mad about that.

01:29:06I'm not pouting over the top eight ever.

01:29:07So we are officially in the badass group of people here.

01:29:11And mama shark is coming for galop, man.

01:29:12Pretty pass.

01:29:13Ugh.

01:29:14Huh?

01:29:15It was rough.

01:29:16It was pretty.

01:29:17I figured you was coming.

01:29:18I figured you was coming.

01:29:19I was.

01:29:20I figured.

01:29:21All right, next pair coming up.

01:29:22Gonna pick the final eight at every race.

01:29:23It was a final eight at every race.

01:29:25Consistency wins over just a win here and a win there.

01:29:28So I can't be mad about that.

01:29:29I'm not pouting over the top eight ever.

01:29:31So we are officially in the badass group of people here.

01:29:35And mama shark is coming for galop, man.

01:29:37Pretty pass.

01:29:38Ugh.

01:29:39It was rough.

01:29:40It was pretty.

01:29:41I figured you was coming.

01:29:42I was.

01:29:43I figured.

01:29:46All right.

01:29:47Next pair coming up, going to be Giuseppe,

01:29:49going up against Kai Kelley.

01:29:54At round three, I went up.

01:29:55I drew Giuseppe.

01:29:56He's been struggling the last couple of weeks,

01:29:57but he's going around, so he's probably

01:29:59got it back figured out.

01:30:00We're just not going to take Giuseppe lightly.

01:30:01We're going to go out there and go as fast as we think

01:30:03we can go on this race track.

01:30:04There's $200,000 on the line.

01:30:06We've got to keep clicking that 10 points towards our pot.

01:30:11We drew Kai Kelley.

01:30:12We haven't been able to beat him this year.

01:30:13I'm feeling pretty good, though.

01:30:14The car is running really good.

01:30:15I feel like we're back to where we used to be.

01:30:16The car is making great runs again,

01:30:17so I'm feeling like we're going to go rounds,

01:30:18and we've got a chance to win this this weekend.

01:30:41I feel like you pulled in front of me in the middle.

01:30:42In the middle, I think I did.

01:30:43Yeah.

01:30:44Yeah.

01:30:45Yeah.

01:30:46Yeah.

01:30:47Yeah.

01:30:48Damn it.

01:30:49Damn it.

01:30:50Damn it.

01:30:51Damn it.

01:30:52So we got past Giuseppe in round three.

01:30:55It was a good side by side race.

01:30:57Got about a fender on him, I think.

01:30:59You got me on the tree, I think.

01:31:00I feel like you pulled in front of me in the middle.

01:31:01In the middle, I think I did.

01:31:02Yeah.

01:31:03You got me a little early, I think, in the middle.

01:31:04It was a good race.

01:31:05Damn, man.

01:31:06You going so fast you blew the wind out.

01:31:07We're going to have to watch out for you again.

01:31:08I know.

01:31:09I know.

01:31:10Good race, man.

01:31:11You too, buddy.

01:31:12Coming at you right here.

01:31:13That's going to be Rich Fruder going up against Axman.

01:31:16So he agreed we raced straight up.

01:31:17I hope so after the last pass.

01:31:18You trust him?

01:31:19After the last pass you did, I hope it was straight up.

01:31:21I mean, if we ain't going to race straight up,

01:31:22I don't mind not racing straight up.

01:31:23We can do it.

01:31:24If you jump, something up.

01:31:25I'll race straight up.

01:31:26He played a game with me last week.

01:31:27I'll play it again this week.

01:31:28But if you want straight up, we got straight up.

01:31:29I'm fine.

01:31:30All right.

01:31:31Round three, I drew Rich Fruder.

01:31:32I'm fine.

01:31:33All right.

01:31:34All right.

01:31:35Round three, I drew Rich Fruder.

01:31:36All right.

01:31:37All right.

01:31:38All right.

01:31:39All right.

01:31:40All right.

01:31:41All right.

01:31:42All right.

01:31:43All right.

01:31:44Round three, I drew Rich Fruder driving a jackal.

01:31:47He jumped on me last weekend.

01:31:48I just showed him I can do it, too.

01:31:50I don't tell you, it brings a pair of medics if he jumped.

01:31:55So I went over.

01:31:56I told him.

01:31:57I said, I'll race you straight up.

01:31:58I said, you jumped last week.

01:31:59You know why I'd do it.

01:32:00I said, if you don't play games, I'm good with it.

01:32:02But if you don't race straight up, we'll shake on it.

01:32:04Is he going to guess on him?

01:32:05Right here.

01:32:06What?

01:32:07He's going to guess on him.

01:32:08I wouldn't.

01:32:09I'll see him.

01:32:11I'll see him.

01:32:26And Rich Fruder.

01:32:28Wow.

01:32:29Well, that makes fast.

01:32:31Hey.

01:32:32That's fast.

01:32:33Damn, where did that come from?

01:32:34Hey, at the big end, it's like, oh.

01:32:36Yeah.

01:32:37Yeah.

01:32:39Good race, Larry.

01:32:40Damn, it cut off on me.

01:32:41Did it?

01:32:42Yeah.

01:32:43Our front end.

01:32:44I hate it.

01:32:45We have our hot rod back, and we could go rounds.

01:32:47And it's showing.

01:32:48Good job, bro.

01:32:49Oh, yeah, bro.

01:32:50It's always fun racing.

01:32:51Oh, man.

01:32:53All right, folks.

01:32:54Last pair here in the third round.

01:32:55That is going to be Nate Saylor going up against Murder Nova.

01:32:59It does not check .

01:33:00It doesn't.

01:33:01I guarantee it doesn't.

01:33:02I got data that shows how high it is.

01:33:06It's about eight inches off the ground.

01:33:08All right.

01:33:09It's about eight inches off the ground.

01:33:10The beam's only seven.

01:33:12The beam's between five and seven.

01:33:15Seven tops.

01:33:16I think you're crazy.

01:33:18I don't think it does anything anyways.

01:33:20OK.

01:33:21I'll get it fixed before the next one.

01:33:22I think it does.

01:33:23And I would have it on him.

01:33:24We draw Nate Saylor, who is at the top of his game right now.

01:33:28He's killing it.

01:33:29His car's really fast.

01:33:31And right now, he's in the top three out here.

01:33:41We've outran him before.

01:33:42He's outran us before.

01:33:43So it can go either way.

01:33:45It just matters on who gets more aggressive with their tune-up.

01:33:48If the track holds it, I'm not real sure he can get more aggressive than what we're going to.

01:33:58And Nate Saylor will get the win.

01:34:21Murder Nova has problems over there in that right lane.

01:34:23Out of the gas.

01:34:24Way early in the past.

01:34:25So Nate Saylor will move on to the semifinals.

01:34:32I told the tuner, I was like, if you're ever going to put a tune-up in it that's gambling, now is it.

01:34:36Because we're going to need it.

01:34:37And I think it carried the tires so far, I couldn't steer the car.

01:34:41So when the tires came down, I had to bring her back to the groove.

01:34:44So he put a tune-up in it when I wanted to win, and we won.

01:34:47And now we're going to the next round.

01:34:48We've got two Ryan Martin cars in the next round.

01:34:50So we're collecting those team points.

01:34:52I let go of the button, and it just shook instantly.

01:34:55Dude, I carried the tires so damn far, I couldn't steer.

01:34:58Nice job.

01:34:59Nice job, man.

01:35:00Thanks, brother.

01:35:01Yeah, I don't know.

01:35:02I don't know if it broke the gears, but they're howling the whole way.

01:35:05So I didn't even make it to the 60 foot.

01:35:08Well, I'm not going to .

01:35:09If you lost, I just assumed it'd be for me.

01:35:11Oh, yeah, yeah.

01:35:12For sure.

01:35:13I'm good with it.

01:35:14So there you have it, folks.

01:35:15Damon Merchant, Kai Kelly, Rich Bruder, and Nate Saylor.

01:35:19Moving on.

01:35:24All right, we're going to get started with our invitational semifinals

01:35:27drivers meeting.

01:35:28Folks, we started with 32 drivers.

01:35:30We are now down to four.

01:35:32Four drivers.

01:35:34Man, we are close.

01:35:35All the teams have been knocked out except for Team Kai Kelly

01:35:38and Team Ryan Martin.

01:35:39Kai, they're kind of catching up on you.

01:35:41Yeah.

01:35:42Look, man.

01:35:43Do you just not like number one?

01:35:45Do you prefer number two?

01:35:48No, you know, all year, Damon's been, like, really close to me.

01:35:51So I went ahead and bought him, Ryan, to worry about that.

01:35:54There you go.

01:35:56I like the strategy.

01:35:57All right.

01:35:58All right, look.

01:35:59Kai's nothing but honest over here.

01:36:00He has a plan.

01:36:01I like it.

01:36:02All right, let's draw chips, y'all.

01:36:03Let's draw chips, y'all.

01:36:08Where are my number ones?

01:36:12Y'all want to trade?

01:36:13Oh, wow.

01:36:14The teammates drew each other.

01:36:16Damon Merchant versus Kai Kelly, which means the other teammates drew each other.

01:36:20Rich Fruiter versus Nate Saylor.

01:36:23But what that does guarantee is it'll be a Team Kai Kelly, Team Ryan Martin finals.

01:36:28All right, y'all.

01:36:29Go back to the pits.

01:36:30Get your cars turned around.

01:36:31Now, I'll tell you, $10,000 does sound good right about now.

01:36:41Invitational semi-finals coming at you right now.

01:36:45Hey, take it easy on me.

01:36:47Make it look like a good race, huh?

01:36:48You .

01:36:49Hope you were.

01:36:50So chip draw did not go our way going into the semi-finals here.

01:36:53Ryan's got two guys in.

01:36:55Kai and myself are in.

01:36:57It would have been great for points if we could have drew them two, put them out, went in the finals together.

01:37:02Chips didn't fall that way, so we got Kai.

01:37:18Anytime you throw me in a race, it's a race for $40,000.

01:37:21I'm not laying down for any team captain, teammate, or anything.

01:37:27We're going to give them hell out there, and like I said, the best car is going to go to the finals.

01:37:41Hey, Boosh.

01:37:42Yes, Axeman.

01:37:43Aren't these two on the same team?

01:37:44Who?

01:37:45Nate and Damon.

01:37:46Ryan paid for Nate, and Kai paid for Damon.

01:37:49I don't really watch social media much.

01:37:50What happened?

01:37:51You missed the first day.

01:37:53There was some trading that went on.

01:37:55Nate and Saylor went to Ryan Martin's team, and Damon Merchant went to Kai Keller's team.

01:37:58You don't even know?

01:37:59So they bought them?

01:38:00Yeah.

01:38:01I didn't see it.

01:38:02Man.

01:38:03We got sold.

01:38:04So literally paid money for them.

01:38:05Yeah, there's a little bit of money exchanged as well.

01:38:06Both sold these two guys.

01:38:07Holy.

01:38:08I was in sleep.

01:38:09And I didn't get anything.

01:38:10And Ryan?

01:38:11Ryan done it too?

01:38:12Ryan did it also.

01:38:13No way.

01:38:14Actually, Ryan was the first one that did the trade.

01:38:17But y'all's team, you know, co-captain is the one who started this whole deal.

01:38:22Yeah, your team started the fight.

01:38:23Dave tried to, but he didn't get his money right.

01:38:25Couldn't get his money right.

01:38:27Can we move on?

01:38:29Can we move on now?

01:38:33And rotational semifinals coming at you right now.

01:38:44And Kai Kelly gets the win.

01:38:49Kai left first, never looked back.

01:38:51Both guys driving those cars there.

01:38:54Kai Kelly gets the win.

01:38:55He will go to the finals.

01:38:56Picking up Damon, that's probably the best $10,000 I ever spent.

01:38:59He went to the semis with me today.

01:39:01He helped me hold off Ron's team from getting any points on us.

01:39:04He puts in the work.

01:39:05He's got a bad-ass fast car.

01:39:07I raced side by side with him.

01:39:09It's whoever leaves on the light.

01:39:10And to be able to buy somebody like that and put him on your team,

01:39:13it's just a gift.

01:39:14Appreciate it, buddy.

01:39:15Hey, man, you passed me.

01:39:16What happened?

01:39:17Let him loose, man.

01:39:19There he goes.

01:39:23That was a race.

01:39:24Last pair here in the semifinals for the Invitational Class.

01:39:27Rich Bruder going up against Nate Saylor.

01:39:32Sucks, but at least one of us are moving on to the next round.

01:39:35One team Ryan's going to the next round, period.

01:39:37That's the only thing that's good about this.

01:39:39Semifinals, we got Rich Bruder.

01:39:41Uh, didn't want that.

01:39:44We were trying to stay away from each other so we could race each other in the final.

01:39:47Stay safe.

01:39:48Have fun.

01:39:49We'll see you on the other side.

01:39:50We're going to put a tune-up in the car.

01:39:51We know it's going to haul ass.

01:39:52He's going to do the same.

01:39:53I guarantee it.

01:39:54And we're going to see if we can go get some money and some points and get into the final.

01:39:59If the track's going to be there, I don't think there's going to be an issue with that.

01:40:11We're hanging more weight on the front end.

01:40:13This is the fastest passes we've been made to date.

01:40:15You know, it's been shown.

01:40:16We're going rounds now.

01:40:17So hopefully we'll be back and be in the final.

01:40:20And Nate Sailor will take the win.

01:40:44That was a drag race.

01:40:46Super close to the other end.

01:40:47But Nate Sailor turns on the win light.

01:40:49So your finals will be Kai Kelly versus Nate Sailor for $40,000.

01:40:57Good race, brother.

01:40:58Thanks, man.

01:40:59Good job.

01:41:01Our front end's high up.

01:41:02We've got to make a bar change on this thing now.

01:41:04Oh, man.

01:41:05This thing did a monster wheelie.

01:41:06Yeah, same thing.

01:41:07It was awesome.

01:41:08Good job.

01:41:09Thanks, brother.

01:41:10We're going to go win us the championship.

01:41:11That's it.

01:41:12That's it.

01:41:13We're going to do it.

01:41:14All right, Michigan.

01:41:15This is your invitational final right here, right now.

01:41:22Dude, I want this one so bad.

01:41:23I can't even tell you.

01:41:24Finals here were against Kai Kelly, and that is my kryptonite.

01:41:29He has beat me three out of three times.

01:41:31Y'all got everything ready to go fast?

01:41:33Yup.

01:41:34I know they're going to throw the kitchen sink at it,

01:41:36because they know when we were running them before,

01:41:38we were right there at his door.

01:41:40Well, this car's faster now.

01:41:45Now, I don't want to think these guys all pooled their money

01:41:47together to buy me, and I'm not doing my job.

01:41:51So I'm out here trying to do the best I can for my team.

01:41:54We'll just see what happens here.

01:41:57These drivers are racing for $40,000.

01:42:08Win or lose, we're going to be at least 100 points ahead of Dave's team.

01:42:12Not to mention we're about to go up there and race for $40,000.

01:42:14This right here will be a drag race between these two extremely fast cars.

01:42:21When Nate Saylor first came into the MPK, you know, everybody was saying he had a lot of money.

01:42:26He was going to be fast, going to be hard to deal with.

01:42:28And he's done one thing that most of the rich guys don't do.

01:42:31He's putting in the work.

01:42:32He's out testing.

01:42:33He knows his car.

01:42:34He's got a good tuner.

01:42:35Let's see who will win the bag of money.

01:42:40So if there was any time that we needed to bring our best game up there, it's now.

01:42:44Oh, and Nate Saylor gets the win!

01:43:08What a drag race!

01:43:11Kyle Kelly was right there!

01:43:13But Nate Saylor is your $40,000 winner!

01:43:22I'm on cloud nine, dude.

01:43:24We made some changes on the car to go fast, quicker, let go of the button.

01:43:28He left right with me, and it was door to door.

01:43:32And then my car was coming in his lane.

01:43:35His car was going to hit the wall.

01:43:37But we got the win.

01:43:39Nate Saylor and crew!

01:43:40Michigan!

01:43:42Woo!

01:43:43We got a fast race car.

01:43:44We're on a good team.

01:43:45We're going to come for that championship.

01:43:47About to hit some wall, buddy.

01:43:48Oh, dude, I about to hit you.

01:43:49Yeah, good race, man.

01:43:50You deserve it, for real.

01:43:51Thanks, brother.

01:43:52I told him, I said, if he beats me, I ain't going to be mad, because I beat him several

01:43:55times this year.

01:43:56Three out of three, you beat me.

01:43:57It was a good race, though.

01:43:58Believe it or not, I feel pretty good coming out of the final race.

01:44:01I did get my ass kicked, but I beat on Nate Saylor all year.

01:44:04It was due.

01:44:05He beat me today, but what we did do is me and Damon went to the semis with him.

01:44:08We made sure they didn't make up any ground on us in the championship, and that's what

01:44:11it's all about right now.

01:44:12We're racing for $200,000.

01:44:14I'm going home.

01:44:15I'm safe.

01:44:16My car don't have no scratches on it, and Nate Saylor got a win.

01:44:19All right.

01:44:20Nate Saylor, it is payday, sir.

01:44:22Look, you battled all weekend and steamrolled through the Invitational Class.

01:44:28Two in one season.

01:44:30Nate Saylor, congratulations, man.

01:44:33What are you thinking?

01:44:34Man, I'm just, I can't tell you how excited we are.

01:44:37We're on a new team.

01:44:38Team Ryan Martin proud right there, already paying off.

01:44:42We made a big move for our team.

01:44:45You know, Nate's car is really fast.

01:44:47He's won two events now.

01:44:48Me picking him up paid off dramatically for me.

01:44:51He won the race.

01:44:52He took our team to 110 off first place.

01:44:55And while that might seem like a lot, with the points and a half and the points and a half

01:44:59and the double points, it's very achievable.

01:45:01Woo!

01:45:02Wow!

01:45:03Look at that, Nate Saylor, man.

01:45:05Hey, congratulations, sir.

01:45:07$40,000, Nate Saylor.

01:45:10Make some noise.

01:45:11Woo!

01:45:12Woo!

01:45:13Nate Saylor has won his second Invitational of the season.

01:45:17You gotta ask yourself, where did this guy come from?

01:45:20And how did the other teams miss him?

01:45:23With that being said, Ryan Martin has to be pleased with himself, his team, and his decisions,

01:45:28as he is now within 10 points of Team Dave.

01:45:31He's gotta be feeling pretty good about himself.

01:45:34There's only three events left, and at this point, it is anyone's championship.

01:45:40Next week.

01:45:41All right, Galant, London Sports Park, how y'all doing today?

01:45:43I think we got the most solid team there is here, as long as we can keep things together.

01:45:48You got Ryan with a lot of momentum.

01:45:53Kai's team might be holding the lead in points.

01:45:56Kai's been running away with this deal.

01:45:58We need to go get him, and this is our chance to make a big move.

01:46:05But the fight for the championship is far from being over.

01:46:08Bodie, you still have a couple guys on your team you have not sold.

01:46:11Points and a half, and then the double.

01:46:12We got three races to either catch up or forget it.

01:46:14And at this point right now, we're getting left behind.

01:46:16Some of the teams are out of reach of this championship.

01:46:18We are not.

01:46:19So we're gonna do whatever we can to get Scott Taylor on our team.

01:46:22Oh, my God.

01:46:23Is it gonna happen?

01:46:24You love the team football game?

01:46:26All right.

01:46:27You don't think we're gonna happen.

01:46:28Did you have them?

01:46:30No, it's gonna gamble in the championship.

01:46:32I've got you on your team, brother.

01:46:33iselef masuk of at a profit shop, let's change the capital.

01:46:35I've got to do that.

01:46:36Go ahead.

01:46:37Yeah.

01:46:38You've got to do it.

01:46:39We are getting to do this.

01:46:40Go ahead.

01:46:41Go ahead.

01:46:42No.

01:46:43You have some new set.

01:46:44I would like hereto jump.

01:46:45Now what I'd say.

01:46:46Get in there?
