00:00:00Man, you can just cry, or drive off the end of the racetrack.

00:00:04All of the racers on Team Kai were out by round two.

00:00:07Here's your chance to make a comeback.

00:00:10That gave other teams the chance to go some rounds and close the gap.

00:00:15And boy, did they.

00:00:18The biggest win went to Ryan Martin, who won his first invitational race of the season.

00:00:24Woo!

00:00:26Congratulations, Ryan Martin and his team.

00:00:30There you go, brother. You darned it.

00:00:31He moved his team back into third place.

00:00:34Just 140 points out of first.

00:00:36But with four events left, it's still anyone's championship.

00:00:43Here we go!

00:00:55Michigan.

00:00:56How y'all doing today?

00:00:57Woo!

00:01:00A little damp.

00:01:01A little damp.

00:01:02Yeah.

00:01:03Hey, look, we're going to be dodging this stuff all day long, y'all.

00:01:06But look, I will tell you one thing.

00:01:08We're going to try our best to get this track dry.

00:01:11If a little shower comes through, we'll turn around and try to get it dry the moment it stops raining.

00:01:15But now we're going to go ahead and try to get started, get some racing in, and try to beat this weather.

00:01:21We're here today at US 131 in Michigan.

00:01:26This is the first time for us at this track.

00:01:28With the weather being kind of weird, cold and wet, what it does for the drivers is they'll make a pass and they get data, and then the track conditions can change completely.

00:01:39When it rains, they have to come back, wait for the track to dry.

00:01:42All that data they got is now gone.

00:01:45It's useless.

00:01:47We're getting a late start today because of the rain, which may mean we only get through the first round of racing tonight, and we'll have to come back and finish tomorrow.

00:01:56Yeah, Ryan Martin, winner of last week's event, got his first invitational win of the season.

00:02:04Comeback starts now.

00:02:06That's right.

00:02:07That's right.

00:02:08Right now.

00:02:09Coming into this race, Kai Kelly is still sitting number one in points, but for the last three weeks, they have struggled.

00:02:16And as we're getting closer to the end of the season, it sounds like all of the captains have spent a lot of time on the phone this week working out potential trades and deals of all kinds.

00:02:26There's a couple of teams that know they don't have a shot at winning.

00:02:32Yep.

00:02:33And, you know, every team's got a couple of decent guys in it.

00:02:35You know, and then after that, it goes, you know.

00:02:37Yep.

00:02:37You know.

00:02:38And so they're talking about getting rid of their number one and number two picks to hire up teams for money.

00:02:47Politicking.

00:02:48Politicking.

00:02:49We made some decisions to make some trades due to the performance of our team.

00:02:53Our team has been on a spiral going down.

00:02:56We've got two guys who've been killing it for us all year.

00:03:00Nathan and Damon.

00:03:01These guys deserve an opportunity to win a championship, but a hot commodity right now, man.

00:03:05I'm auctioning them off.

00:03:06We got the deal pretty close.

00:03:08These guys want an opportunity to win, and I gave them an opportunity to pick the team they wanted to go to.

00:03:12All right, fellas, so I got some pretty good news.

00:03:16Buddy called me and said that he realizes that his team ain't got a shot at the championship, and he wanted to sell us Damon Merchant.

00:03:25What's the bid?

00:03:26We bidding it or what?

00:03:27What's the bid?

00:03:27Ten grand.

00:03:28And ranking.

00:03:29Worked his ass off the whole year.

00:03:31The guy's put in the work.

00:03:32He's done a lot, but he just couldn't get off that struggle bus right now.

00:03:36Nope.

00:03:36Man, this ain't friendship.

00:03:38It's business.

00:03:38We got to do what we got to do.

00:03:40Pretty much halfway through this season already, I was already talking to Bodie about possibly trying to get Damon Merchant.

00:03:46I hope y'all are in, because I already told him yes.

00:03:49He named a price.

00:03:51It was $10,000, and I immediately told him, hell yeah, we want to do it.

00:03:55I did hear some more things.

00:03:56I don't know if they're true, but I heard Ryan may or may not have bought Nate Sailor, which is a weapon right now.

00:04:06Hey, are you buying anybody?

00:04:10I might.

00:04:10I mean, you might as well.

00:04:12I might buy somebody today.

00:04:13Must be a thing to do here.

00:04:14I might buy somebody today.

00:04:15You can just buy people.

00:04:16Yeah.

00:04:16This is the last event before the points and a half starts, and if there's any moves to be made, now is the time if you think you're going to make a push.

00:04:24That being said, I've got to make smart moves for my team to try to strategically get out of this championship.

00:04:31And so I got a phone call from Bodie.

00:04:33Bodie's got two hot commodities.

00:04:34Nate's car's fast.

00:04:35He wants to be on our team.

00:04:37He's going to take a little bit of money.

00:04:38It's going to be interesting today.

00:04:39Let's see how I'm going to get.

00:04:43Yeah, you know, man.

00:04:44You know how the go.

00:04:45Everybody got knives.

00:04:48Shot, shot, shot, shot.

00:04:50Yeah.

00:04:51So last week when Bodie called me wanting to sell Nate and Damon, I actually had told him that I would take both of them for the money he was asking for them.

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

00:05:04Damon, we went back and forth, back and forth, and I thought all was good.

00:05:09Like, I thought Damon was coming out of my team and it was going to be great.

00:05:11I almost feel like I got a knife in my back.

00:05:15Hey, you've got to take the best shot at winning this championship.

00:05:20I think coming up, you look at the coming up races, Gallaud, Lizzie's going to run good there.

00:05:25Kyle's going to run a test there a lot.

00:05:28It's going to be a good race for them.

00:05:29Steel Alabama is going to be a good race for Ryan.

00:05:31Texas is where it's like, it's any man's game at Texas, I think.

00:05:37Was Ryan trying to get you too?

00:05:39He talked a little bit.

00:05:41I think he got Nate.

00:05:43Huh?

00:05:44He got Nate.

00:05:48What's up?

00:05:49That's why I'm glad I'm on the bottom of the ladder.

00:05:52There's nothing wrong with me.

00:05:53You look like you're upset.

00:05:54I'm not upset.

00:05:55Are you okay?

00:05:56Are you upset?

00:05:57No.

00:05:58Do I have a reason to be upset?

00:05:59I could be, I guess.

00:06:00I don't know.

00:06:00Should I be upset?

00:06:02You should wake up in a happy mood.

00:06:03Why?

00:06:04You should.

00:06:05I know you're waking up angry.

00:06:07No.

00:06:09I know, you just look like you had a face frown.

00:06:11Uh-uh.

00:06:12No, I'm good.

00:06:15All right, guys, this is the captain's meeting.

00:06:17As you know, this is where you can make changes to your team.

00:06:19So we're going to start at the bottom.

00:06:21I mean, not the bottom, sorry.

00:06:22We're going to start with the team that has the most opportunity to do well.

00:06:27Yes.

00:06:28Dean.

00:06:28Yeah, no change.

00:06:29Really?

00:06:29No change.

00:06:30Hey, I like it.

00:06:30I got faith in my guys.

00:06:31One of these days, they're going to pull through.

00:06:33Murillo.

00:06:33Yes.

00:06:34Any changes?

00:06:35Man, you know what?

00:06:35We're doing so good right now, I'd hate to mess it up.

00:06:40Y'all are just a well-oiled machine over there.

00:06:43So no changes.

00:06:44Yeah, we're good.

00:06:44Keeping it where it's at.

00:06:45Status quo.

00:06:45Yes, sir.

00:06:46Swannstrom.

00:06:47Changes.

00:06:48I found out this week, my money doesn't go as long as some others, so.

00:06:52Oh.

00:06:53It's all right.

00:06:53What happened?

00:06:54I don't know.

00:06:55I'm going to stay because there's no trade there.

00:06:58Got it.

00:06:59Uh, Bodie.

00:07:01I'll tell you what.

00:07:02We're going to make a lot of changes over here today.

00:07:04First.

00:07:05What?

00:07:05Yeah, the first change I'm going to make is I'm going to put myself back in for Tim Brown.

00:07:10Like it.

00:07:11I'm also going to make a major trade with my two top guys.

00:07:15Okay.

00:07:18So who are you starting with?

00:07:20First, I'll start here with Kai Kelly.

00:07:23What's going on here?

00:07:25You were talking about negotiating.

00:07:28I got Damon.

00:07:30He wanted to go to your team.

00:07:31He was going to bring me back over Rankin and a couple extra dollars.

00:07:37Ooh.

00:07:39Say no more.

00:07:40$10,000.

00:07:41Wait a minute.

00:07:42Time out.

00:07:43Wait, time out.

00:07:44$10,000.

00:07:45Trading Damon for Rankin was huge for us because Rankin's been struggling.

00:07:48When it does make a pass, it's fast.

00:07:49But to win these deals, you got to be consistent.

00:07:51And you got to be consistent every single week with no breaks.

00:07:54For now, he's just not consistent enough for us to win a championship.

00:07:57And Damon is.

00:07:58It's business and it's $200,000.

00:08:00I hate it for Rankin.

00:08:02But I got to do it.

00:08:03Rankin, please do not take offense to this.

00:08:05But you just traded Damon Merchant for Chris Rankin.

00:08:09And $10,000.

00:08:10I get a lot of credit.

00:08:11I'm the great GM because everybody had the opportunity to pick these guys and they didn't.

00:08:15Yeah, that's right.

00:08:15So I GMed these guys and I got them here and they showed me that they was worth every dime of it.

00:08:20So this is what I get in return.

00:08:21And we're not done.

00:08:22We're not done.

00:08:23Oh, you're not.

00:08:23You got more trades.

00:08:24Wow.

00:08:24Okay.

00:08:25What else you got?

00:08:26The next trade we got.

00:08:27Blockbuster trade.

00:08:28It's Nate Saylor.

00:08:29We working a deal with Ryan Martin.

00:08:31Yeah.

00:08:31For who?

00:08:35For Jerry, unfortunately.

00:08:37The Bird Boys.

00:08:38Oh, that's what you think, y'all be my.

00:08:41You just can't.

00:08:42And you know, I wasn't going to do this.

00:08:44But then I heard Kai was going to do it.

00:08:46Damon's a heavy hitter.

00:08:47He's one of the fastest cars here.

00:08:48Obviously top five for sure.

00:08:50So to go get this championship.

00:08:52It's going to be tough to try to get there without having an equal team.

00:08:55I need people that are going to be heavy hitters.

00:08:59Bodhi put up Nate Saylor.

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

00:09:01I talked it out with my team.

00:09:03We split it up four ways.

00:09:04It was $2,500 a piece.

00:09:06We thought of it as a very cheap investment to possibly guarantee us another driver to collect

00:09:12points for us to go get that championship.

00:09:14Did you already have the money wired to you?

00:09:16Or is it in cash?

00:09:16Or what's going on with that?

00:09:17You know I'm good for it.

00:09:19Yeah, yeah.

00:09:19Ryan's murder.

00:09:20I'm good for it.

00:09:21I'd also like to point out that I'm sure Team Dave and Murder Nova maybe are not exactly

00:09:26happy with the trades because that just kind of sets them back as well.

00:09:29It makes it harder for them to win the championship as well.

00:09:32It's kind of stacking the teams, you know.

00:09:33Set me back.

00:09:35All right.

00:09:36Is that it?

00:09:36Yes, sir.

00:09:37All right.

00:09:38Murder Nova.

00:09:39Yes.

00:09:39I ain't got 10 grand, so.

00:09:43It looks like I'm sticking with my guys.

00:09:46Yeah.

00:09:48Okay.

00:09:48All right, guys.

00:09:49Well, there you have it.

00:09:50That's the captain's meeting.

00:09:52Let's do it.

00:09:53Know what you got to do.

00:09:53Good deal.

00:09:54All right.

00:09:55Team Kai getting another heavy hitter onto a team that is already sitting in first place.

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

00:10:07Moving up, huh?

00:10:09I'm just going to keep doing what I've been doing.

00:10:10That's right.

00:10:12This will put a lot of pressure on Damon and Nate to really perform for their teams

00:10:18because these captains made these moves to try to win that team championship.

00:10:25What do you think about the team deal?

00:10:29I don't mind it.

00:10:30It helps y'all.

00:10:31But at the same time, the way he did it.

00:10:33Yeah.

00:10:34You know, I got to him last night.

00:10:37I said, I'll probably be the next one to go.

00:10:39I said, but I'd rather kind of be anywhere than what a snake.

00:10:44We still had a chance.

00:10:46We weren't out.

00:10:47You know what I'm saying?

00:10:47That's what I kind of said, too.

00:10:48Me and Nate talked about that.

00:10:50We still had a chance for the championship.

00:10:51We weren't out.

00:10:52But all that benefited was his pocket.

00:10:56That's it.

00:10:57And then he threw up in my face.

00:10:58Oh, well, I didn't have to pick you.

00:11:02You ain't done for the team.

00:11:04You ain't got a point.

00:11:05You ain't went a round.

00:11:07But you want to take all the money in your pocket and sell out on your people?

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

00:11:12That's chicken.

00:11:19All right.

00:11:19Well, folks, we are now going to move into the Invitational Round 1 Drivers Meeting, folks.

00:11:27This is the main event for the weekend.

00:11:30This is the class where 32 drivers battle it out for $40,000.

00:11:35It seems like those trades really opened the floodgates for other team captains to try to make some moves.

00:11:41I said no.

00:11:41I said you've worked more than five.

00:11:43He just don't like you, man.

00:11:44He don't like you.

00:11:45He thinks he can't win a championship.

00:11:48He don't want you to.

00:11:49He can't either.

00:11:50That's where we're at with Mike right now.

00:11:52That's the type of guy Mike is.

00:11:54You had Sean trying to get Mike Murillo to trade Scott Taylor for $5,000.

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

00:12:03He's trying to go from fourth to third.

00:12:05Yeah.

00:12:05But he's not getting his paper right.

00:12:07How much paper is it going to take?

00:12:08$10,000.

00:12:09$10,000.

00:12:10You're good for it, right?

00:12:11That's what the going...

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

00:12:15Are you talking about Ryan?

00:12:17Oh, wow.

00:12:18Damn.

00:12:19Hey.

00:12:20Oh, wow.

00:12:21Damn.

00:12:22Hey.

00:12:25Wow.

00:12:26We just recovered.

00:12:27I love you, man.

00:12:28All right.

00:12:29Well, look, Sean.

00:12:29It looks like Murillo is not going to crack yet.

00:12:32We'll try next week, buddy.

00:12:33Sorry.

00:12:33And now, after all the successful and unsuccessful trading, plus our race your way in, the 32-car

00:12:42field is set.

00:12:44Since he auctioned off two of his team members, Bodie only has two drivers in the Invitational

00:12:48today.

00:12:49But Kai's and Ryan's investments are really paying off, as they each have all five racers

00:12:55in, unlike Dave, who only has four.

00:12:58We'll go ahead and get the bucket here.

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

00:13:02All right.

00:13:02You're looking good, you son of a .

00:13:06Yeah, you weren't looking good.

00:13:07I was trying to get him mixed up.

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

00:13:12Thank you, bud.

00:13:13You're welcome.

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

00:13:14No, I hear you.

00:13:15In the first round here in Michigan, eight teammates drew each other.

00:13:19You got Chuck 55 going up against B-Rad.

00:13:21Sean had four racers coming in to this race.

00:13:24Unfortunately, this guarantees that he'll have, at the most, three racers continuing on after

00:13:29this first round.

00:13:29Then, the race that everyone's got their eye on.

00:13:33It is a rematch between Kai Kelly and Lizzie Musi.

00:13:36Those two are the heaviest hitters on their team.

00:13:39Plus, you factor in the history they have between each other.

00:13:43This is going to be a good one.

00:13:45Then, you have Robin Roberts versus Ryan Martin.

00:13:48Again, two of the heaviest hitters on their team.

00:13:52And for Ryan Martin, who's trying to get to the top, he needs all of his strongest racers

00:13:57to stay in as long as possible.

00:13:59Finally, you have Dave himself going up against Paige Coughlin.

00:14:03Paige has been trying to prove herself all season long.

00:14:06And Dave is the captain of the team, which means there'll be a lot of pressure for Paige

00:14:11and Dave to get the win.

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

00:14:16I do, too.

00:14:17I mean, for sure now, but Dave was really wanting to make a run.

00:14:21All right, folks.

00:14:24First pair here in the Invitational first round.

00:14:27You got Rich Bruder going up against Jim Howe.

00:14:30It's a rematch from last weekend.

00:14:33Here we are, US 131.

00:14:35What a crazy day.

00:14:36Rain on and off, getting cold out.

00:14:39Go up there for Invitational chip draw.

00:14:41We draw Jim Howe.

00:14:42It's going to be a rematch from the last race.

00:14:44We went up there third round last race.

00:14:46Went up there.

00:14:46We had a problem with the car.

00:14:48After that race, we went to a dyno.

00:14:50Dynoed the car a little bit.

00:14:52Got it back where it should be.

00:14:53And it's running strong today.

00:15:05Damn, somebody's on some sticker tires.

00:15:08Holy.

00:15:11So, we're here in basically my hometown.

00:15:14We're in Martin, Michigan.

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

00:15:17All it's done is rain, rain, rain, rain, rain.

00:15:19The sun finally came out this afternoon.

00:15:21I do not like racing in the winter weather, and that's what this is.

00:15:24You know, it's no prep racing, and this is what it is.

00:15:27It's what makes this sport and this particular series such an interesting deal.

00:15:31And that's why we've seen so many different winters all year.

00:15:33And Rich Bruder takes the win.

00:15:45Rich Bruder moving on to the next round of the Invitational Class.

00:15:50All right, next pair coming at you right now, we got Brandon James going up against Kayla Morton.

00:16:08We are getting ready for today, and Dave and Kai kind of went at Damon, and he chose to go with Kai.

00:16:28So, we just need to use that as drive and, you know, a fire lit under our ass to do better.

00:16:34If you don't want to be on our team, then we're going to show you that you made a mistake.

00:16:37And Kayla Morton takes the win there.

00:16:56Brandon James getting all kinds of sideways over there in the left lane.

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

00:17:06Up top, man, it was a little shaky.

00:17:08It was all over the place, but I am glad that we drew that lane, and now we have some data in both lanes,

00:17:12and I'm just hoping to keep this momentum going.

00:17:14There's something to be said about winning five times in a row,

00:17:18and hopefully we can just keep that up.

00:17:20I was driving.

00:17:21Mine drove to the center upheld, and I'm about wrecking.

00:17:23Did you really?

00:17:25Damn, that track is just so cold now.

00:17:28Yeah, it is.

00:17:29Good job.

00:17:29Thanks, Brandon.

00:17:30Good luck, Ma.

00:17:30Appreciate you.

00:17:32Next pair, coming at you right now.

00:17:34We got Clay Cole going up against Scott Scooter Taylor.

00:17:43So I went up and drew Chip today for round one of the Invitational.

00:17:46I drew Scott Taylor.

00:17:48I've not raced Scott yet, so it ought to be an interesting race.

00:17:52So round one's a little bit different today.

00:17:54We've had Mother Nature against us all weekend, unfortunately.

00:17:57It's a little cooler out, so it's definitely going to be tricky,

00:18:06and you're going to have to be on your A-game for sure to get down this track.

00:18:14Hey, hey!

00:18:20What's wrong?

00:18:20It's a train of breaking.

00:18:21It ain't clicking.

00:18:25Looks like Scott Taylor having issues out there stuck, not backing up.

00:18:29Jiggle right there.

00:18:30Right here?

00:18:31Yep.

00:18:31Mike Murillo, team captain, needs to get out there and figure out what's going on with his teammate, Scott Taylor.

00:18:37Put him on the clock!

00:18:39He's on the clock.

00:18:40He's on the clock.

00:18:42Are you going to put him on the clock?

00:18:43Yeah!

00:18:43All right, so Clay Cole has put Scott Taylor on a two-minute clock.

00:18:46Oh, my.

00:18:47See it broke anywhere?

00:18:49I don't see anything.

00:18:50Oh, yep, right there.

00:18:52Can you shove it back?

00:18:53I'm going to try to do it.

00:18:58You don't get it.

00:18:59Oh, it ain't my team.

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

00:19:01One minute has surpassed.

00:19:04Don't push me back.

00:19:05I'm going to try it.

00:19:06Maybe it goes red or something.

00:19:07Yeah.

00:19:08Put him in there.

00:19:10Man, Clay, if you don't give him extra time, that's sorry.

00:19:13All right, so got about ten seconds.

00:19:19Nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.

00:19:30That is two minutes.

00:19:32Two minutes.

00:19:33Two minutes.

00:19:34Pass for pass.

00:20:02All right, so Clay Cole will take the win in the pedaling over there in that right lane.

00:20:11Scott Taylor has something happen there right on the hit.

00:20:13Damn.

00:20:14Does not make the pass.

00:20:16We had a wire break on the trans break on the dash, and we just needed a few minutes to fix it.

00:20:23He didn't want to give no extra time.

00:20:24I know that Clay Cole is not going to give anybody one second to actually get a drag race.

00:20:29We know that.

00:20:30We established that.

00:20:31So in the future, anybody, you know, goes up against Clay and he has a problem, he ain't going to give you time.

00:20:36So you got that stuck in the back of your mind.

00:20:38What happened, brother?

00:20:39Ah, a trans break wouldn't work.

00:20:41It just ain't meant to be right now.

00:20:43Oh, man, I'm sorry.

00:20:44Oh, good, man.

00:20:45I didn't put you on the clock.

00:20:46My guy did.

00:20:47I'm sorry.

00:20:48Nah, you're fine.

00:20:49I don't know if you could have got it fixed or not.

00:20:50Yep.

00:20:51I think we had one of the fastest cars on the property tonight, and a wire.

00:20:55You know, one wire broke, and I thought that maybe, you know, the testing and stuff had paid off.

00:21:01We do really good when the track's not great.

00:21:03That's our specialty.

00:21:04We're in the biggest slump we've ever been in, but there ain't one way to get out of it is keep digging.

00:21:09You lay down in a slump, you get covered up.

00:21:11We ain't gonna lay down.

00:21:13All right, folks, next pair.

00:21:16That is gonna be David Gates going up against Murder Nova.

00:21:20Man, I'm gonna have to go up here and race my buddy Sean, Murder Nova.

00:21:26Try to get that win, put him on the trailer.

00:21:32Man, we're starting to go into these points and a half.

00:21:35We got a shot.

00:21:36We're not that far behind.

00:21:39No, y'all are in a good spot for sure.

00:21:42Yep.

00:21:44Y'all are in a, it's achievable where you're at.

00:21:46Yes.

00:21:47Yes.

00:21:48Pretty tight.

00:21:49Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:21:50Yeah.

00:21:51But now it's gonna start doing this because they all got five guys in.

00:21:55So normally we race first round during the day, and you have to worry about a tricky track that's hot.

00:22:02Well, this is a little bit different.

00:22:03We're really far north.

00:22:04It's cold.

00:22:05And a cold track could be worse than a hot and greasy track.

00:22:12David Gates car has the capabilities of being one of the fastest cars on the property.

00:22:25I know he's been struggling a little bit, but I can't look at it that way.

00:22:30I have to look at it like, how much power is this lane gonna take whenever I try to put it down?

00:22:35And that's the route we're gonna go.

00:22:37And that's the route we're gonna go.

00:22:38That's the route that's off.

00:22:39That's the route!

00:22:43Yeah, that's a freshарrow.

00:22:44Ah, my God.

00:22:50Litter!

00:22:51Melva!

00:22:52Ooh!

00:22:53Murder Nova takes the win.

00:22:58He'll move on the next round.

00:23:00Good job, Phantom.

00:23:02Next pair coming at you is going to be B-Rack going up against Chuck 55.

00:23:07Good luck.

00:23:08Good luck.

00:23:09Good luck.

00:23:10Good luck.

00:23:11Good job.

00:23:12We just drew a teammate.

00:23:13We drew Chuck Parker.

00:23:14It sucks.

00:23:15They're fans.

00:23:16But I really want to win first round.

00:23:17That's my simple goal for the week.

00:23:18Win first round.

00:23:23Next pair coming at you is going to be B-Rack going up against Chuck 55.

00:23:48And Chuck 55 takes the win.

00:23:52All right.

00:23:53Coming at you right now.

00:23:54That's going to be Disco Dean going up against Nate Sailor.

00:24:01At the end of the day, it's the captain's choice to do what they want.

00:24:04They can put us down in the reserve pool, trade us, swap us.

00:24:06Nothing we can do about it.

00:24:08But Bode gave me the choice.

00:24:10He said, you pick where you want to go.

00:24:12That's where you can go.

00:24:14And to be honest, I didn't want to go to the first place team, Kai's team.

00:24:19I want to earn this championship.

00:24:21Like if we win, I don't want to be like, oh, well, you got traded at the last minute on Kai's team and he was in first place.

00:24:26I want to go to a team that's going to work their ass off and make it happen.

00:24:31Now it's crunch time.

00:24:41After this race, then it's points and a half, points and a half, and then double points.

00:24:45Like if you don't have your group and your together before then, people are going to go flying by you.

00:24:50I'm just looking for the opportunity to go win a championship.

00:25:09Woo!

00:25:10Let's go, brother!

00:25:11You look close to me.

00:25:12You look close to me.

00:25:13Oh, .

00:25:15Good lap, Nate.

00:25:16Great.

00:25:17Thanks, brother.

00:25:18Good run.

00:25:19Did you make a clean head?

00:25:20Yeah, I was right there next to you the whole time.

00:25:22Just getting loose down there like that.

00:25:25I lifted about the Monarchone just to be safe because it was getting wish-washy.

00:25:28I hear you.

00:25:29Good lap!

00:25:30Thanks, brother.

00:25:31Yep.

00:25:32Next pair, that is going to be Damon Merchant and his competitor, Jeff Lutz.

00:25:37Ugh.

00:25:38Which one?

00:25:39Number one, sitting at around 700.

00:25:41We got your belt.

00:25:42Huh?

00:25:43We got your belt.

00:25:44Check it.

00:25:45We've just been fighting little gremlins all day, really.

00:25:49Just got a blower.

00:25:51We keep having Cylinder 1 shut off randomly.

00:25:55So we got the coil swapped and a new spark plug wire on it.

00:25:59So we're just going to, I mean, it's time to go up.

00:26:03So we're going to give her hell.

00:26:05We drew Jeff Lutz for the first time this year.

00:26:07In all honesty, I haven't got to race very many 405 guys this season.

00:26:11He's another big block Chevy out here.

00:26:13There's not too many of us out here.

00:26:14So I'm just going to have to find out if his big block is faster than my big block.

00:26:20What do you think?

00:26:22I don't know.

00:26:23I didn't get to see Damon's earlier pass.

00:26:24I'm not worried about him.

00:26:26I'm just worried about the cold track.

00:26:28And I went over and asked Ryan.

00:26:29I said, what's your plan?

00:26:30He goes, man, I think I'm going to leave it alone.

00:26:32I said, yeah, I think we're going to too.

00:26:33He's 12th.

00:26:34I said, well, pay attention to us because we're going to leave it alone.

00:26:38Don't you know I draw Damon Marchant?

00:26:40You know, it's been cold all day.

00:26:41It's been raining.

00:26:42It is what it is.

00:26:43Let's give it what we got, you know?

00:26:45So our test pass earlier today went really well.

00:26:48We ran pretty close against Ryan.

00:26:50And I said, let's just rerun that run.

00:27:10Damon Vershaven takes the wing right past there.

00:27:15Damon won his race.

00:27:20So far, my trade is going exactly the direction I needed it to go.

00:27:25His test passes, they sucked.

00:27:27Broke a blower, burned up a spark plug,

00:27:29but he showed up for an invitation in round one.

00:27:32And that's exactly why we paid the money for him,

00:27:34because he's worth it.

00:27:35Whoo!

00:27:36Had to do a little driving that time.

00:27:38All right, folks, this next pair,

00:27:40that's going to be Larry Larson going up against Axeman.

00:27:44Larry lost.

00:27:50Larry?

00:27:51Seven times you beat him.

00:27:52Shoot.

00:27:53I don't know how many times I've raced Larry.

00:27:55I got him the last time we raced.

00:27:57But it was nose to nose that tossed him.

00:28:00Larry has stepped his game up a lot.

00:28:03So this is not going to be easy.

00:28:06It's not going to be easy.

00:28:07Put my mittens on now.

00:28:10What's that?

00:28:11I'm going to put my mittens on.

00:28:14You're all set.

00:28:16Cold out here.

00:28:17Yes, it is.

00:28:19Pulled Larry, Roach, Axeman.

00:28:21Same guy tunes his, that tunes Kayla's,

00:28:23and a couple other ones.

00:28:24So I know about how fast they are.

00:28:26I think we're fully capable of outrunning them.

00:28:28You're going to have to be good on the light

00:28:30and make a nice clean run.

00:28:41The track's really cold right now.

00:28:43Sun's went down.

00:28:44It hasn't rained this afternoon, which is great.

00:28:47But the track conditions are going to start to get a little treacherous

00:28:49down there from half track on.

00:29:03All right, folks.

00:29:04This next pair, that's going to be Larry Larson going up against Axeman.

00:29:08And Axeman.

00:29:29Good job, baby.

00:29:30Good job.

00:29:31Axeman moving on to next round.

00:29:34We rolled in.

00:29:38When that light turned green, I come off that button.

00:29:40I've never seen him again.

00:29:42Like, this thing is walking up on the center line.

00:29:44I'm fighting it back, fighting it back.

00:29:46I kept telling myself, I'm not going to let off.

00:29:48My light come on.

00:29:49I nods another bullet.

00:29:52Man, I'm glad to get past that first round.

00:29:56Next pair, that's going to be Giuseppe going up against Tony McKinnon.

00:30:01So in Maple Grove, we had Nate first round, which is tough.

00:30:04He's fast.

00:30:05Obviously, he was coming off a win.

00:30:07Yeah, he's been over lately.

00:30:08Yeah.

00:30:09So he got us by a fender.

00:30:11But we made a good run.

00:30:12Yeah.

00:30:13The car's fast.

00:30:14We made some changes.

00:30:15We changed the combination up.

00:30:16Yeah.

00:30:17So I'm feeling confident for the rest of the season.

00:30:18I feel real good.

00:30:19Yeah, I'm feeling good.

00:30:20Real good.

00:30:21Going in, we got the chip draw, and we drew Tony McKinney for first round here.

00:30:24I haven't raced Tony McKinney this year, so not sure how fast he is or not.

00:30:28I haven't really gauged him yet, but we're about to find out here in a little bit.

00:30:39The car's really fast.

00:30:40It's flying.

00:30:41But we got to make it to the finish line.

00:30:46We tried a couple more things.

00:30:47We'll see if it makes it to the finish line this next run here.

00:30:57Just set it.

00:30:58With the win, that car was out of it.

00:31:16It was fast, fast.

00:31:21Right through the stripe, didn't see Tony McKinney that whole run.

00:31:24And we pulled off a win.

00:31:26I just had to cut gas.

00:31:27Yeah.

00:31:28I knew I had to.

00:31:29I know how fast you are.

00:31:30No, yeah.

00:31:31Yeah, that was a good run probably right there.

00:31:33Yeah.

00:31:34Yeah, wheels up.

00:31:35It was moving around a little bit, but.

00:31:36Was it?

00:31:37Yeah.

00:31:38And then they still had the wheels packed on the 1-2 ship.

00:31:41And then I bailed it.

00:31:42As soon as I bailed it wiggle, I was like, oh.

00:31:44And I cut gas and it almost went over into your lane.

00:31:46Oh, .

00:31:47So I was able to save it.

00:31:48Yeah.

00:31:49Yeah.

00:31:50Hey.

00:31:51All right, buddy.

00:31:52All right.

00:31:53Next pair coming out.

00:31:54We got Callie Mills going up against Mike Murillo.

00:31:56Got $100 on the left lane.

00:31:59Going into the first round of Race Your Way In against Jerry Bird and had just a killer pass.

00:32:05And broke a rod.

00:32:06We're applying, you know, 5,000 horsepower at, you know, 2.2 seconds in.

00:32:11Have we reached a threshold, a limit?

00:32:13You know, I don't know.

00:32:14What does this mean?

00:32:15It means we're broke.

00:32:16That's what it means.

00:32:17We're broke.

00:32:18I draw none other than Mike Murillo.

00:32:28Unfortunately, he broke his motor.

00:32:30Like, it's, I guess, in pieces.

00:32:32Not good.

00:32:33I hate that for them.

00:32:34Very unfortunate luck.

00:32:35But on our end, we got lucky.

00:32:45Yeah.

00:32:46All right.

00:32:47So, Kelly Mills pulls the shoes.

00:32:48Gets it back straight.

00:32:49Nice job.

00:32:50I got out there.

00:32:51Got loose on the 2-3 shift.

00:32:52It had the wheels up and just got sideways.

00:32:53I needed to have the shoot out a little bit sooner, because it was, and that was not good.

00:33:11So, just had it too hopped up.

00:33:13Next pair coming at you right now, Kai Kelly going up against Lizzie Musi.

00:33:19You know, I know you're sick, so there's nothing you can do about it.

00:33:22I honestly, like, standing, like, I feel like I could throw up any minute.

00:33:26That's how I feel like.

00:33:27Really?

00:33:28Okay.

00:33:29I'm not feeling the greatest this weekend.

00:33:31I'm trying the best I can, so I'm pushing through it.

00:33:34And guess what?

00:33:35I draw a freaking Kai first round again.

00:33:38Definitely didn't want to freaking race him again.

00:33:40No matter what, one of us is going on to the next round for the team.

00:33:43So, that's the way I kind of look at it.

00:33:45Let me win one.

00:33:46Yeah, I think I'm freaking out.

00:33:49Round one, I drew Lizzie.

00:33:51I don't like racing my own team.

00:33:53I definitely don't like racing Lizzie.

00:33:54Seems like every time I get beside her, I get emotional.

00:33:56And I don't like the feeling.

00:33:58And I'd rather her just draw somebody else, because her car is fast.

00:34:02And we've got to run the hell out of my car to try to outrun her.

00:34:05So, it just sucks because there's two fast people.

00:34:07And one of us has got to go home first round when we draw each other.

00:34:10We've got to be on top of our game.

00:34:26We've got to go as fast as we've possibly ever been.

00:34:29Right here today, if we want to get out of first round.

00:34:31It's probably the toughest first round draw you can get.

00:34:33Next pair coming at you right now.

00:34:48Kai Kelly going up against Lizzie Musi.

00:35:03Kai Kelly gets the redemption there.

00:35:18Takes the win.

00:35:19Lots of smoke down there in Lizzie's lane.

00:35:22At the very end of the track.

00:35:24I couldn't imagine having more than one motor.

00:35:26Where you're cool with just burning it down.

00:35:28Every lap.

00:35:30Yeah, yeah.

00:35:32I don't get it.

00:35:33They said he was up against the wall.

00:35:35Was you?

00:35:36I don't think so.

00:35:37Oh, I can't.

00:35:40But a good thing about it, Sean.

00:35:42It ate itself up before the finish line, but you had me anyway.

00:35:44Good job.

00:35:45At least we're one and one for the day.

00:35:47Oh, whatever.

00:35:49If they ain't blowing the motor up, they ain't trying to win.

00:35:51And that's exactly what I want my team to do when they draw me.

00:35:53I want them to win, because I want the fastest car to go to the next round.

00:35:56Because at the end of the day, that gets us more points.

00:35:59I'm still proud of you, though.

00:36:00You're my hero.

00:36:01Why?

00:36:02You're fighting what you're fighting.

00:36:03Don't stop.

00:36:04It's hard on me this weekend, so I love you.

00:36:09Always.

00:36:10I'm about to cry.

00:36:11Good job.

00:36:12Sorry, I don't.

00:36:13Here.

00:36:14Go kick ass, okay?

00:36:16Okay.

00:36:17Robin Roberts going up against his team captain, Brian Martin.

00:36:28Here we are now, it's night time.

00:36:30It is really cold out here.

00:36:32The track surface is good for about 100 foot, but after that it's not great.

00:36:36You know, I'm trying to make this deal a comeback, right?

00:36:38So we won the last race, we're trying to do well, and I, and I, all the guys, we've all talked like, hey, we just need a couple of good draws.

00:36:45And here I am today, and I drew Robin Roberts again.

00:36:48Good luck, man.

00:36:49Good luck.

00:36:50Good luck.

00:36:51Good luck.

00:36:52Good luck, homie.

00:36:53You too, man.

00:36:54Be safe.

00:36:55He has one of the fastest cars here, very similar combination to mine. I mean, not who I wanted.

00:37:02We're pulling out all the stops. We'll see if it's enough.

00:37:08You know, I hate drawing Ryan. One, he's my buddy. Two, like he's my team captain.

00:37:18But we got Ryan, we're going to have to make it work.

00:37:23We'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.

00:37:52We both left at the same time, and he just flat out run us in the middle of the track. He just pulled a fender on me.

00:37:57You know, I hate to lose, and it sucks, but the team, four out of five, are moving on to the next round, keep gaining points for Team Ryan Martin.

00:38:04You know what? I've drawn my teammate four times in a row. Started with him, then I drew Giuseppe, then I drew Bird Boys, and I drew him again.

00:38:11What about drawing Lizzie twice in one day?

00:38:13Yeah, no .

00:38:14Grade eight in there.

00:38:15Good job.

00:38:16And then I hugged her and started crying.

00:38:17It's still in there somewhere.

00:38:18You did?

00:38:19Yeah.

00:38:20This pair here, we've got Paige Coughlin going up against her teammate and team captain, Daddy Dave.

00:38:31The car just needs to do what it did earlier.

00:38:33What's that?

00:38:34It just needs to do what it did earlier.

00:38:35Yeah, it will.

00:38:36It will.

00:38:37You'll be nice.

00:38:38It was a nice, smooth run and pretty similar.

00:38:42Alrighty.

00:38:43Oh, .

00:38:45We're here at US 131 Dragway.

00:38:47We finally get to go some rounds.

00:38:48You know, we were able to make a test pass.

00:38:50We're going up for first round.

00:38:51We've been battling, like, the cold weather, the rain, sunshine, clouds, but finally, we're able to hit the track.

00:38:57We're ready to rock and roll.

00:38:58We went up for chip draw and we drew Daddy Dave, but you know what? Positive outlook on this.

00:39:03One of us from Team Daddy Dave is going to be guaranteed a spot in round two.

00:39:22We drew our own teammate again, Paige Coughlin.

00:39:24We raced her a few weeks ago at another event.

00:39:33This time, I hope it's a little closer race, because she got this new motor in there.

00:39:38We'll go up here, let go of the button, and see if we can't go on round two.

00:39:42And Daddy Dave takes the win.

00:40:05Looked like Paige Coughlin was out in front, pulled the chute a little early.

00:40:09Oh, my God.

00:40:10I'm so scared.

00:40:12Why?

00:40:13What happened?

00:40:14Oh, I was going everywhere but straight for a minute.

00:40:16Oh, my God.

00:40:17Oh, no, no, no.

00:40:18Hey, good job.

00:40:19Oh, my God.

00:40:20So scary.

00:40:21Knocked my head up at the tree.

00:40:22I go, where is she going?

00:40:23You know what?

00:40:24Daddy, it was .

00:40:26I got to keep you in line, at least on the top part, you know?

00:40:30That's the second time I've left before you.

00:40:32Yeah.

00:40:33All right, next pair coming at you, we got John Otis.

00:40:36They go up against Bobby.

00:40:37Jacote.

00:40:38We're trying to disappoint.

00:40:39We kind of got our whole team, like, just smashed out from under us, and our great captain

00:40:55decided to just sell everybody to pad his own pockets to hell with everybody else.

00:40:59His ass still ain't racing.

00:41:00He ain't got a single point this year, went a single round this year.

00:41:04But he put all that money in his pocket to hell with the rest of the team.

00:41:08Whatever.

00:41:09It is what it is.

00:41:10I'll probably be trading next week.

00:41:12I don't really know where I'm going.

00:41:14I don't really care.

00:41:15I'd rather be anywhere than with a snake like that.

00:41:29Yeah, John.

00:41:30We got the win.

00:41:31At least that one's moving on.

00:41:32I was pulling back to you.

00:41:33Bobby, I saw you the whole time, dude.

00:41:38The whole time, brother.

00:41:39Were you like, there was a point.

00:41:40I didn't...

00:41:41Did you see me the whole time?

00:41:42I can see your nose right here.

00:41:43Yeah.

00:41:44The whole time.

00:41:45Battle of the turbo cars coming at you right now.

00:41:58Chris Rankin over in the left lane in the conquest.

00:42:01Going up against Chuck Seitzinger in the right lane.

00:42:11We drew Chuck, and him and I are usually door to door,

00:42:14so it can be anybody's race.

00:42:16Him and I are both hot strong as hell,

00:42:17so hopefully we can both have a good drag race,

00:42:20and I come out on top, and I go in round two.

00:42:23So that's it.

00:42:25Chris Rankin in the left lane,

00:42:26one Turbocon crest going up against Chuck Seitzinger twin.

00:42:29Turbo Mustang in the right lane.

00:42:37This is the first time I've been in the Invitational

00:42:39in three or four weeks, so I need to go to the semifinals,

00:42:42so when I go to Galat, I'm not in the race your way in, so.

00:42:47But right now, I just can't give up,

00:42:49so I'm gonna do the best I can.

00:42:56All right, Chris Rankin will get the win.

00:43:01Chuck Seitzinger has problems on the hit.

00:43:06All right, folks, we got Jimmy Taylor

00:43:08going up against Justin Swanstrom.

00:43:15Problems on the hit.

00:43:19All right, folks, we got Jimmy Taylor

00:43:21going up against Justin Swanstrom.

00:43:39It's being so cold here.

00:43:41It's pretty rough.

00:43:42We'll see how it plays out.

00:43:43I know the tracks are going to be very tricky

00:43:46for everybody today, too.

00:43:47But everybody's got to go down the same surface.

00:44:03All right, folks, we got Jimmy Taylor going up

00:44:05against Justin Swanstrom.

00:44:13And Jimmy Taylor will take the win.

00:44:24Just as Swanstrom having to pedal over there in that right lane.

00:44:28Going into round two, Ryan Martin has four racers moving on.

00:44:31Meanwhile, Dave and Kai only have three.

00:44:34It does feel like Ryan is picking up some momentum in his program.

00:44:37Look, he came off his first invitational win last week.

00:44:41Now he's picked up Nate Saylor, and he's looking to continue

00:44:44that forward movement.

00:44:46Nate Saylor and Damon Merchant are moving on to round two.

00:44:49It really seems like they're trying to prove that they are worth the investment that was made.

00:44:53All right, folks, I'm going to have my drivers draw chips.

00:44:56All righty, where are my number one?

00:45:09Kelly Mills versus Kayla Morton.

00:45:12Chuck 55 and Giuseppe.

00:45:15Yes, Giuseppe, that is a two.

00:45:17Oh, Axeman versus Ryan Martin.

00:45:22Oh, wow.

00:45:24Daddy Dave versus Murder Nova.

00:45:28Chris Rankin versus Nate Saylor.

00:45:32It's going to be John Odom versus Damon Merchant.

00:45:35Jimmy Taylor and Kai Kelly.

00:45:39Ooh.

00:45:41All right, so my eighth and final pair

00:45:44will be Rich Bruder versus Clay Cole.

00:45:49All right, drivers, well, y'all got some time to think about

00:45:51what you got to do to your cars because this round will be run tomorrow.

00:45:55We appreciate you coming.

00:45:56See you tomorrow.

00:45:59Unfortunately, the rain yesterday set us back late enough

00:46:02that we were only able to get the first round of racing in.

00:46:05That means we will have to be spending one more day here in Michigan

00:46:08to finish up the rounds and determine who will be walking away

00:46:12with the $40,000 Invitational Prize Month.

00:46:15How are you? What's up?

00:46:16How's everybody doing today?

00:46:18Good.

00:46:21All right, folks, we're going to go ahead and get started on racing.

00:46:27For those that were here last night, you know that we made it through

00:46:30our first round of the Invitational Class.

00:46:34We're going to finish it up today on a beautiful Sunday here in Michigan.

00:46:40First pair here in this second round of the Invitational Class.

00:46:43Callie Mills going up against Caleb Horton.

00:46:46You ready?

00:46:46Yeah, I think so.

00:46:47Last night, so we changed the cam, you know, to make more horsepower out in the back.

00:46:53And so they didn't have the drive shaft curve close enough to it

00:46:56because they were trying to see what it would do since we had that fly against Mike.

00:47:00And, oh, it went out there and it was like, ah!

00:47:02I was like...

00:47:02You did a hell of a job last night driving it.

00:47:03Yeah.

00:47:04I'm like, so I just hope we can make it down.

00:47:06And if I can do my job on the tree, I think we'll be okay.

00:47:09Today's a new day.

00:47:10Second round of Invitational.

00:47:12We drew Kayla Morton.

00:47:13I'm going to have my work cut out for me because my car has not been happy.

00:47:18But last night we made a good pass to, like, the 3.30 and then when it shifted into high

00:47:22gear, it just got sideways and did not go well.

00:47:30So hopefully we can get it to go A to B and I can do my job on the tree because I think

00:47:34I'm going to have to have a really good light.

00:47:38Perfect.

00:47:40Nailed it.

00:47:40Started off the day good, guys.

00:47:43Callie is not one to take lightly.

00:47:45She's getting better and better, faster and faster each race.

00:47:48She's been to a semi-final this year.

00:47:50We are first pair, so that is another factor to kind of take into account.

00:48:08But we have momentum.

00:48:09We've made pass after pass and just looking to get six round wins here in a row, which

00:48:13is super exciting.

00:48:18And Kayla Morton going to take the win there, Callie Mills, car makes a hard move out there.

00:48:42We both be driving.

00:48:44All right, next pair, you got Chuck 55 going up against Giuseppe.

00:48:49We just need to figure out, we got a Giuseppe, he's got a good setup, fast car, but he's

00:49:01been struggling a little bit.

00:49:02I'm going to try to tear their head off on the light.

00:49:05And if I can leave with them, it gets game over, because I'm telling you, I'll pull them

00:49:10on the big end.

00:49:11If we hold things together, I'll make more power on the big end.

00:49:13Just need to make it to the finals.

00:49:15That's it.

00:49:16I know.

00:49:17You need to get to the finals, baby.

00:49:19All right, you guys good over there?

00:49:22Yeah, we're good.

00:49:23Right now, I just put a bunch of fuel, the air fuel ratio that the car would normally run

00:49:26at, which has just changed.

00:49:29The weather, whatever, don't know, but now it needs a lot more fuel in the car, so we

00:49:33put more fuel in it.

00:49:34Chuck 55, I know he made it to the finals a few races back there.

00:49:38We're really going to just try to run our own race, try to go as fast as we can what the

00:49:42track will take, but I'm going to just worry about our program right now and try to push

00:49:45the limits of the track and see if we can pull it off.

00:49:56Right now, we've got four guys in, we've got the most guys still going rounds right

00:50:05now.

00:50:06We're the only ones who have four in, so we're going to try to close that gap this weekend.

00:50:09Hopefully, we can get two of our guys in the finals, and I'm hoping for all four of our

00:50:13guys for the semifinals left, and then two of our guys in the finals to get max points

00:50:17out of this weekend and close that gap against Kai there.

00:50:23And Giuseppe, going to take the win there.

00:50:41Nice pass from him.

00:50:42It was loose out there, Chuck.

00:50:43What happened?

00:50:44I did what I didn't want to do.

00:50:45Shook?

00:50:46No, we took power out of it on the hit, not knowing what it'd take.

00:50:50Yeah.

00:50:51Plus, you left on me.

00:50:52Oh, yeah.

00:50:53And so that didn't help.

00:50:54Yeah, yeah.

00:50:55But, man, I mean, when I felt the power ramp in, I started reeling you up.

00:50:59Yeah.

00:51:00It's too late.

00:51:01Too late.

00:51:02All right, folks.

00:51:03This right here is going to be a good one.

00:51:04That is going to be Axman going up against Ryan Martin.

00:51:06Better make a straight hit.

00:51:07We'll have something for him.

00:51:08Definitely can't pedal against Ryan, so you're going to have to drive it.

00:51:11No, no.

00:51:12Got a tough competitor, Ryan Martin.

00:51:15The maddest man on the planet, as far as I'm concerned.

00:51:17Like, I mean, he's tough.

00:51:19He's got a couple advantages.

00:51:20He's changed his new car over.

00:51:22He went to that new blower.

00:51:23But I'm going to figure out some way to get around here.

00:51:26I love you.

00:51:27I've got Axman first round.

00:51:29They got a new motor in the car.

00:51:30I expect them to be a handful.

00:51:32So we're not going to turn this car down.

00:51:34I'm going to bank on the track holding what I'm going to put in it.

00:51:37And hopefully it does.

00:51:49My team is sitting really good.

00:51:51We've got four cars in right now, which is what we hope for.

00:51:53Nobody else has that many in.

00:51:55The trade move that we did, Nate's still in.

00:51:57And it was a smart move.

00:51:58I need all four of my guys to advance to next round,

00:52:01because we didn't draw each other.

00:52:02And it would be fantastic if we could get there.

00:52:04It's super good.

00:52:05Super good.

00:52:07He can't be mad.

00:52:08He did last week.

00:52:09Guess the light.

00:52:26Was that a spike?

00:52:27No, no.

00:52:28Hey, the guess.

00:52:30Super dead.

00:52:31He can't be mad.

00:52:32He did it last week.

00:52:34I told that.

00:52:35I said, you can't be mad ever again.

00:52:38You did it last week.

00:52:39I did it last week.

00:52:41Ah, how'd you do it, baby?

00:52:42I'm sorry, but I had to do it.

00:52:46Woo!

00:52:47So, unfortunately, we had a car tuned up

00:52:49and a good car for the weekend

00:52:50and somebody guessed and put us on the trailer.

00:52:53We all got the same opportunity.

00:52:54That's just not the way I raced.

00:52:56He's a guess of the one.

00:52:58Hey, hey.

00:53:00Hey, one day you're going to have a car fast enough

00:53:01you ain't got to do that.

00:53:02Hey, let me tell you.

00:53:03That blower is 600s faster and you know it.

00:53:05It's all good.

00:53:06Hey.

00:53:06I know you're going to hit some of those

00:53:08and some of them you ain't.

00:53:09That one you hit.

00:53:10Good job.

00:53:10Hey, I had to make up 600s, brother.

00:53:11I get it.

00:53:12Axeman ended up guessing on the tree

00:53:14and as we know, Ryan Martin absolutely hates that.

00:53:18But it just goes to show that these racers

00:53:20will do whatever it takes to get the win.

00:53:23Oh, we, everybody knew you were going to do it.

00:53:26Next pair, that's going to be Daddy Dave

00:53:28going up against Murder Nova.

00:53:30It sucks because what do you do here?

00:53:33You know what I mean?

00:53:33Like, you can't turn it down because you'll get outran.

00:53:36You can't turn it up anymore because the track

00:53:39ain't going to take it.

00:53:39You know what I mean?

00:53:40I promise you don't turn it.

00:53:42Yeah.

00:53:43That's got to be a track race for sure.

00:53:44We finally don't suck, so don't turn it down.

00:53:47This is where your tune-ups get tricky.

00:53:49I drew Daddy Dave and we're the fourth pair.

00:53:52It's not a whole lot of heat in the track.

00:53:54This might be one of those days

00:53:56where a later round probably would have been better.

00:53:59Dave's a tough draw no matter what.

00:54:01Even if you have Dave outgunned,

00:54:03which I truly believe I do,

00:54:05Dave is Dave, and Dave tends to win races.

00:54:18Sean's been hauling ass lately, going rounds,

00:54:20and I couldn't be happier for the guy.

00:54:22But when we pull the start line,

00:54:24the friendship's over right there.

00:54:36Next pair, that's going to be Daddy Dave

00:54:38going up against Murder Noz.

00:54:52That was a drag race, folks,

00:54:54but Murder Noz gets there first,

00:54:57turns on the wind light.

00:54:57Nice job.

00:55:00Five, five, five.

00:55:02So we take the light.

00:55:05We left together.

00:55:06He got me a little bit in the middle.

00:55:08I put about half a car on me on the finish line.

00:55:10Side by side.

00:55:11It was.

00:55:12It was a good race, man.

00:55:13This next pair,

00:55:15that's going to be Chris Rankin

00:55:16going up against Nate Saylor.

00:55:19Okay, we can go up.

00:55:22Second round, we have Chris Rankin.

00:55:24He can make a stupid fast pass,

00:55:26but it's one here or there.

00:55:27Our car's, like, more consistent, I would think.

00:55:30So as far as the matchup goes,

00:55:31he's going to have to tree me,

00:55:33and I'm just going to make it impossible

00:55:34for him to do that.

00:55:35He got traded to Team Bodie,

00:55:47which is where I came from.

00:55:49I love my old team still.

00:55:51In fact, I'd go back to him if I had to.

00:55:53But now we're Team Ryan,

00:55:54and we're going to do everything we can

00:55:56to chop their heads off.

00:56:05He guessed.

00:56:26I knew he knew he had to.

00:56:28He ain't got nothing for this car,

00:56:29let's be honest.

00:56:30Man, I went red, dude.

00:56:31I knew I was going to take a shot at

00:56:32with your ass, dude.

00:56:33That's your ass.

00:56:34I'm sorry, man.

00:56:35We're moving on anyway.

00:56:36You ain't sorry, don't lie.

00:56:37You're moving on anyway.

00:56:38Yep.

00:56:39All right, next pair coming up right here.

00:56:40It's going to be John Odom

00:56:41going up against Damon Merchant.

00:56:44Did you see John make a pass yesterday?

00:56:46No, I didn't.

00:56:47His test pass wasn't very good,

00:56:48but they said he ran pretty good

00:56:49in his first E1 pass.

00:56:52I don't know who he raced, though.

00:56:53He raced Bobby to Cody.

00:56:55We'll talk to Bobby and see how it went.

00:56:57We know how Bobby runs.

00:56:58Bobby's not shy.

00:57:00We got our draw last night in John Odom.

00:57:02I raced that car twice this year.

00:57:03Once with Jim driving it,

00:57:05once with John driving it.

00:57:06We've outran them both times,

00:57:08but after the problems

00:57:09that we've been having this weekend,

00:57:11you can't count anybody out.

00:57:12I don't know if it's a deal

00:57:13where his tuner's going to have

00:57:14all the confidence in him

00:57:15to get it down that cold racetrack today.

00:57:17So as long as Bynall hit on all eight cylinders,

00:57:20I'm pretty sure we can outrun that car again.

00:57:23Jim, we throwing in the kick-ass tune?

00:57:25I got David Merchant today.

00:57:29You know, him and Jim have had a little drama.

00:57:31Now he's on Kai Kelly's team.

00:57:32As you guys know, Kai Kelly's number one.

00:57:34He is fast, so that just makes it

00:57:36a little bit harder for Team Swanstrom

00:57:38just to get to that spot.

00:57:39But we're working really hard.

00:57:47Jim had a problem with his car.

00:57:48It went right last night,

00:57:49so he's out already.

00:57:51Justin's out.

00:57:51He had a problem with his car,

00:57:52so let's just see if we can go out

00:57:54and get us in the finals,

00:57:55and we'll help Team Swanstrom.

00:57:58Team-wise, I still got three in.

00:58:00We lost David and Lizzie.

00:58:01Ron Martin's got three,

00:58:03just like we got three.

00:58:04If we can just make it to the next round

00:58:05and they all win,

00:58:06we'll be tied up with him.

00:58:07We'll keep points in between us.

00:58:09He can't catch us.

00:58:20And David Merchant

00:58:29gets the win.

00:58:32Great pass here in the left lane for David.

00:58:34Takes the win there.

00:58:35Move on to the next round.

00:58:37Woo!

00:58:38Baby, that's a good race.

00:58:40It was a good one.

00:58:41Ha-ha-ha!

00:58:42Oh, I didn't think he was coming

00:58:44with no weak s***.

00:58:45Oh, I wasn't.

00:58:46We were right there.

00:58:47I'm super proud of you, man.

00:58:48That was a great race.

00:58:48Good job.

00:58:49Good job.

00:58:50Good job, buddy.

00:58:51Next pair coming at you right now.

00:58:53Got Jimmy Taylor

00:58:54going up against Kai Kelly.

00:58:57Hey, man.

00:58:58Welcome to the team today, man.

00:59:00Don't suck.

00:59:00You need some help.

00:59:02I'm available.

00:59:02Don't forget nothing.

00:59:03All right?

00:59:04Got it.

00:59:05Other than that,

00:59:05I'm going to let go of the button

00:59:06and kick Mr. Jimmy Taylor's ass.

00:59:11I'm going to let go of the button on time.

00:59:13We're back.

00:59:13We're in Michigan.

00:59:14We're starting round two

00:59:15in the Invitational.

00:59:16We won last night.

00:59:16We got that monkey off our back.

00:59:17We got Jimmy Taylor.

00:59:19He took out Justin Swanstrom yesterday,

00:59:20so he must be fast,

00:59:22but we're ready for him.

00:59:41Jimmy's also another Pro Charger car.

00:59:44Pro Chargers are hard to beat.

00:59:45Some guys are just bouncing data

00:59:47off each other

00:59:47and hooking each other's computers

00:59:48to their cars,

00:59:49and they're all getting faster and faster.

01:00:10Kai Kelly!

01:00:10He gets there first

01:00:13with a great pass there

01:00:15down the track.

01:00:19We just got through round two,

01:00:20which felt like round one

01:00:21because it was the first race of the day,

01:00:23and our car went really fast.

01:00:25Adam nailed the tune-up.

01:00:27I think I did pretty good on the tree.

01:00:29Jimmy Taylor,

01:00:30he pulled on me

01:00:30in the middle a little bit,

01:00:31and then my car shifted into high.

01:00:33I just went around it.

01:00:34It was a lot faster,

01:00:37and I thought I was about to go.

01:00:38I'm real happy with it,

01:00:39and I think we got a hot rod.

01:00:41I think as long as I do my job,

01:00:43I think they got their hands full today.

01:00:45All right,

01:00:45last pair here

01:00:46in the Invitational Class.

01:00:47Rich Bruder

01:00:48going to go up against Clay Cole.

01:00:50We double-checked all the wiring

01:00:52and the fittings

01:00:52on the front of the car over there?

01:00:53Yes, sir.

01:00:54And then suspension's good up front?

01:00:56Yep, yep.

01:00:56Okay.

01:00:57How do you feel about it?

01:00:58I feel good.

01:00:58I feel really good.

01:00:59We got a good driver.

01:01:00Yeah?

01:01:01I got Rich Bruder.

01:01:02I've not faced off against him yet.

01:01:04I know he's got a fast hot rod,

01:01:06but I feel like we're probably

01:01:07a little bit faster

01:01:08on the big end.

01:01:10We're going to go up there

01:01:11and see what we got for Rich Bruder,

01:01:12and hopefully we'll go on

01:01:14with the third round.

01:01:14So last night,

01:01:15it was really cold.

01:01:16The track temp was really,

01:01:17really down.

01:01:18It was bottom 40s.

01:01:19So we had to pull a lot

01:01:20out of our tune-up

01:01:21just to get down the track,

01:01:22and if you've seen the past,

01:01:24it was pretty sketchy already.

01:01:25So today,

01:01:26being the complete opposite,

01:01:27we're going to be able

01:01:28to put all that power back

01:01:28in the car,

01:01:29and we're going to go

01:01:30a lot faster today

01:01:31down the track,

01:01:32and we're going to make

01:01:32a good A to B pass.

01:01:47We got Clay Cole.

01:01:48I haven't raced him this year yet.

01:01:50He's been doing good,

01:01:51but like I said,

01:01:52we got our hot rod back,

01:01:53and I'm not even worried

01:01:54who's in the next lane.

01:01:55We're going to race our race,

01:01:56our lane,

01:01:56and turn on that wind light.

01:01:58And Rich Bruder takes the win.

01:02:20Nice job there.

01:02:22Rich Bruder going roused.

01:02:24made a clean pass,

01:02:28straight down.

01:02:29We got that win

01:02:30on to round three right now.

01:02:31Keep it going.

01:02:33You good, bud?

01:02:34Oh, yeah.

01:02:35I had to lift.

01:02:36Did you?

01:02:36Yeah.

01:02:36Yeah, well...

01:02:37It was going that way.

01:02:38I was like,

01:02:38this ain't worth it, bro.

01:02:39Yeah.

01:02:39You know the deal.

01:02:40Oh, yeah.

01:02:41Yeah.

01:02:41Good race, though, bro.

01:02:42You made a good lick.

01:02:43Yeah.

01:02:43You know.

01:02:43Good job.

01:02:44We got some figured out,

01:02:45and hope we go some rounds now.

01:02:47No, good job, man.

01:02:47You guys are killing it.

01:02:48Good job.

01:02:49You can kill it this year, buddy.

01:02:49All right, folks, that'll do it

01:02:52for the second round

01:02:53of the Invitational Class.

01:02:56Going into the third round,

01:02:58Ryan has three racers left in,

01:03:00while Dave and Kai only have two.

01:03:02Even though Ryan Martin

01:03:03is out of the race,

01:03:04his teammates are still gaining ground

01:03:06on the two teams in front of him.

01:03:08All right, we can go ahead

01:03:09and start our Invitational Drivers meeting

01:03:10for the third round.

01:03:12Let's go ahead and draw chips.

01:03:14Gently.

01:03:14God bless.

01:03:16All right, my drivers have their chips.

01:03:20Where are my number ones?

01:03:22Going to be Damon Merchant

01:03:24versus Kayla Morton.

01:03:25Number twos,

01:03:27Giuseppe versus Kai Kelly.

01:03:30How fast did you say it was going?

01:03:32I'm not sure.

01:03:32I don't even know.

01:03:34Number threes,

01:03:36Rich Bruder versus Axeman.

01:03:38That's not beautiful.

01:03:39Rich means the fourth and final pair

01:03:42will be Nate Saylor versus Murder.

01:03:45Nova.

01:03:46All right, drivers,

01:03:47you know what you got to do.

01:03:48Go back to your pits,

01:03:48get your cars turned around,

01:03:50put them in the staging lanes.

01:03:51One of you is going to win $40,000.

01:03:53Let's go.

01:03:56All right, first pair here

01:03:58in the third round,

01:03:58the Invitational Class

01:03:59is going to have Damon Merchant

01:04:00going up against Kayla Morton.

01:04:03If we let it lay over against her out back,

01:04:06she'll drive around us.

01:04:10Her quicker than John down low,

01:04:12and it pulls way harder out back.

01:04:15All right, round three here

01:04:16with Drew Kayla.

01:04:17It's hard to come on one of these deals

01:04:19super confident when, you know,

01:04:21she's running really good this weekend.

01:04:23We've been struggling.

01:04:24We've been getting by,

01:04:25but we've been struggling a little bit.

01:04:26But we feel like we do got a hot rod right now.

01:04:28So we're not here for no reason.

01:04:31You know, we're going to go up there

01:04:31and do our thing.

01:04:32We're the first pair down

01:04:33and hopefully put our ass on the trailer.

01:04:37Didn't get to do it yesterday,

01:04:38so maybe today's the day.

01:04:44Ready, suit up.

01:04:46All right, suit up.

01:04:48Good luck.

01:04:50See you down there.

01:04:52All right, let's go up there.

01:04:53We're going to be third round.

01:04:54Invitational Class.

01:05:08All right, first pair here in the third round.

01:05:32Come on, Caleb.

01:05:32We're going up against the table.

01:05:35Morton.

01:05:38And Damon Merchant will take the win there.

01:05:49You know the out of it.

01:05:50Great drag race between both those cars.

01:05:52Woo!

01:05:58I said at the very beginning,

01:06:01if we finish in the final eight

01:06:03at every race, consistency wins over

01:06:07just a win here and a win there.

01:06:09So I can't be mad about that.

01:06:11I'm not pouting over the top eight ever.

01:06:14So we are officially in the badass group of people here.

01:06:18And Mama Shark is coming for galop, man.

01:06:21Pretty pass.

01:06:22Ugh.

01:06:23Huh?

01:06:23It was rough.

01:06:25It was pretty.

01:06:25I figured you was coming.

01:06:26I was.

01:06:27I figured.

01:06:27All right, next pair coming up,

01:06:32going to be Giuseppe going up against Kai Kelly.

01:06:38At round three, I went up.

01:06:39I drew Giuseppe.

01:06:40He's been struggling the last couple weeks,

01:06:42but he's going around,

01:06:43so he's probably got it back figured out.

01:06:45We're just not going to take Giuseppe lightly.

01:06:46We're going to go out there and go as fast as we think

01:06:47we can go on this racetrack.

01:06:48There's $200,000 on the line.

01:06:50We've got to keep clicking that 10 points towards our pot.

01:06:53We drew Kai Kelly.

01:07:05We haven't been able to beat him this year.

01:07:07I'm feeling pretty good, though.

01:07:08The car is running really good.

01:07:09I feel like we're back to where we used to be.

01:07:11The car's making great runs again,

01:07:13so I'm feeling like we're going to go rounds,

01:07:14and we've got a chance to win this this weekend.

01:07:23So we got past Giuseppe in round three.

01:07:45It was a good side-by-side race.

01:07:47I got about a fender on him, I think.

01:07:50You got me on the tree, I think.

01:07:52I feel like you pulled in front of me in the middle.

01:07:54In the middle, I think I did.

01:07:55You got me a little early, I think,

01:07:57and in the middle, it was a good race.

01:07:58There, man, you're going so fast,

01:08:00you blew the wind out.

01:08:01We're going to have to watch out for you again.

01:08:02I know, I know.

01:08:03Good race, man.

01:08:04Me too, bud.

01:08:05Coming at you right here,

01:08:06that's going to be Rich Fruder

01:08:07going up against Axeman.

01:08:12So he agreed we raced straight up.

01:08:15I hope so, after the last pass.

01:08:16You trust him?

01:08:16After the last pass, you did.

01:08:18I hope we're straight up.

01:08:18I mean, if we ain't going to race straight up,

01:08:19I don't mind not racing straight up.

01:08:20We can do a few jumps.

01:08:22He played a game for me last week.

01:08:24I'll play it again this week,

01:08:25but if you want straight up,

01:08:26we got straight up.

01:08:27I'm fine.

01:08:28Round three, I drew Rich Fruder

01:08:30driving the jackal.

01:08:31He jumped on me last weekend.

01:08:33I just showed him I can do it too.

01:08:35I don't tell you,

01:08:36it brings a pair of medics if he jump.

01:08:40So I went over,

01:08:41I told him, I said,

01:08:42I'll race you straight up.

01:08:43I said, you jumped last week,

01:08:44you know why I do it.

01:08:45I said, if you don't play games,

01:08:46I'm good with it.

01:08:47But if you don't race straight up,

01:08:48we'll shake on it.

01:08:49Is he going to guess on him?

01:08:50I said, he's going to go and see.

01:08:52I said, he's going to go.

01:08:53I will.

01:08:53I'll see.

01:09:10And Rich Fruder.

01:09:12Wow!

01:09:13Well, that makes fast.

01:09:15Hey.

01:09:16That's fast.

01:09:17Damn, where did that come from?

01:09:19Hey, at the big end, it's like, oh!

01:09:21Yeah.

01:09:22Good race, Lyre.

01:09:24Damn, it cut off on me.

01:09:25Did it?

01:09:26Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:09:27Our front end.

01:09:28I hate it.

01:09:29We have our hot rod back, and we can go rounds.

01:09:32And it's showing.

01:09:33Good job, bro.

01:09:34Oh, yeah, bro.

01:09:35It's always fun racing.

01:09:36Oh, man.

01:09:37All right, folks, last pair here in the third round.

01:09:40That is going to be Nate Sailor going up against Murder Nova.

01:09:44It does not .

01:09:47I guarantee it doesn't.

01:09:49I got data that shows how high it is.

01:09:51It's about eight inches off the ground.

01:09:53All right.

01:09:54It's about eight inches off the ground.

01:09:55The beam's only seven.

01:09:58The beam's between five and seven.

01:10:00Seven tops.

01:10:01I think you're crazy.

01:10:03I don't think it does anything anyways.

01:10:05OK.

01:10:06I'll get it fixed before the next one.

01:10:07I think it does.

01:10:08And I would have it on him.

01:10:10We draw Nate Sailor, who is at the top of his game right now.

01:10:13He's killing it.

01:10:14His car's really fast.

01:10:16And right now, he's in the top three out here.

01:10:26We've outran him before.

01:10:27He's outran us before.

01:10:28So it can go either way.

01:10:29It just matters on who gets more aggressive with their tune-up.

01:10:32If the track holds it, I'm not real sure he can get more aggressive than what we're going to.

01:10:37And Nate Sailor will get the win.

01:11:05Murder Nova has problems over there in that right lane.

01:11:07I wonder what I'm doing.

01:11:08Out of the gasp way early in the past.

01:11:09So Nate Sailor will move on to the semifinals.

01:11:12I told the tuner, I was like, if you're ever going to put a tune-up in it that's gambling, now is it.

01:11:21Because we're going to need it.

01:11:22And I think it carried the tires so far, I couldn't steer the car.

01:11:26So when the tires came down, I had to bring her back to the groove.

01:11:28So he put a tune-up in it.

01:11:30I wanted to win, and we won.

01:11:31And now we're going to the next round.

01:11:32We've got two Brian Martin cars in the next round.

01:11:34So we're collecting those team points.

01:11:36I let go of the button, and it just shook instantly.

01:11:39Dude, I carried the tires so far, I couldn't steer.

01:11:42Nice job.

01:11:43Nice job, man.

01:11:44Thanks, brother.

01:11:45Yeah, I don't know.

01:11:46I don't know if it broke the gears, but they're howling the whole way.

01:11:50So I didn't even make it to the 60 foot.

01:11:53Well, I'm not going to bull .

01:11:54If you lost, I just assumed it'd be for me.

01:11:55Oh, yeah, yeah.

01:11:56And if I lost, I just...

01:11:57For sure, I'm good with it.

01:11:58So there you have it, folks.

01:11:59Damon Merchant, Kai Kelly, Rich Bruder, and Nate Sailor moving on.

01:12:08All right, we're going to go and get started with our invitational semifinals drivers meeting.

01:12:12Folks, we started with 32 drivers.

01:12:14We are now down to four.

01:12:16Four drivers.

01:12:18Man, we are close.

01:12:19All the teams have been knocked out except for Team Kai Kelly and Team Ryan Martin.

01:12:23Kai, they're kind of catching up on you.

01:12:25Yeah.

01:12:26Look, man, do you just not like number one?

01:12:29You prefer number two?

01:12:32No, you know, all year, Damon's been, like, really close to me.

01:12:36So I went ahead and bought him, Ryan, to worry about that.

01:12:39There you go.

01:12:41I like the strategy.

01:12:42All right.

01:12:43Look, Kai's nothing but honest over here.

01:12:45He has a plan.

01:12:46I like it.

01:12:47All right.

01:12:48Let's draw chips, y'all.

01:12:52Where are my number ones?

01:12:56Y'all want to trade?

01:12:57Oh, wow.

01:12:58The teammates drew each other.

01:13:00Damon Merchant versus Kai Kelly, which means the other teammates drew each other.

01:13:05Rich Bruder versus Nate Saylor.

01:13:08But what that does guarantee is it'll be a Team Kai Kelly, Team Ryan Martin Finals.

01:13:13All right, y'all.

01:13:14Go back to the pits.

01:13:15Get your cars turned around.

01:13:16Now, I'll tell you, $10,000 does sound good right about now.

01:13:24Invitational semi-finals coming at you right now.

01:13:29Hey, take it easy on me.

01:13:30Make it look like a good race.

01:13:32You hope you won.

01:13:33So chip draw did not go our way going into the semi-finals here.

01:13:37Ryan's got two guys in.

01:13:39Kai and myself are in.

01:13:41It would have been great for points if we could have drew them two, put them out, went to the

01:13:45finals together.

01:13:46Chips didn't fall that way, so we got Kai.

01:13:50Any time you throw me in a race, it's a race for $40,000.

01:14:05I'm not laying down for any team captain, teammate, or anything.

01:14:11We're going to give them hell out there, and like I said, the best car is going to go to the finals.

01:14:20Hey, Boosie.

01:14:25Yes, Axeman.

01:14:26Aren't these two on the same team?

01:14:28Who?

01:14:29Nate and Damon.

01:14:30Ryan paid for Nate, and Kai paid for Nate.

01:14:33I don't really watch social media that much.

01:14:35What happened?

01:14:36You missed the first day.

01:14:37There was some trading that went on.

01:14:39Nate and Salem went to Ryan Martin's team, and Damon Merchant went to Kai Kelly's team.

01:14:42You don't even know?

01:14:43So they bought them?

01:14:44No, I didn't see it.

01:14:45Man.

01:14:46We got sold.

01:14:47So literally paid money for them?

01:14:49Yeah, there was a little bit of money in exchange for you guys.

01:14:52I was asleep, and I didn't get anything.

01:14:54And Ryan?

01:14:55Ryan done it too?

01:14:56Ryan did it also.

01:14:57No way.

01:14:58Actually, Ryan was the first one that did the trade.

01:15:01But y'all's team, you know, co-captain is the one who started this whole deal.

01:15:06Yeah, your team started the fire.

01:15:07Dave tried to, but he didn't get his money right.

01:15:10Couldn't get his money right.

01:15:12Can we move on?

01:15:13Can we move on now?

01:15:15Yeah.

01:15:16And rotational semi-finals coming at you right now.

01:15:32Kai Kelly gets the win.

01:15:34Kai left first.

01:15:35Never looked back.

01:15:36Both guys driving those cars there.

01:15:38Kai Kelly gets the win.

01:15:39He will go to the finals.

01:15:40Picking up Damon, that's probably the best $10,000 I ever spent.

01:15:43He went to the semis with me today.

01:15:45He helped me hold off Ron's team from getting any points on us.

01:15:48He puts him to work.

01:15:49He's got a bad-ass fast car.

01:15:51I raced side by side with him.

01:15:53It's whoever leaves on the light.

01:15:54And to be able to buy somebody like that and put him on your team,

01:15:57it's just a gift.

01:15:58Appreciate it, buddy.

01:15:59Hey, man, you passed me.

01:16:00What happened?

01:16:01Let him loose, man.

01:16:03There he goes.

01:16:04Oh!

01:16:07That was a race.

01:16:08Last pair here in the semi-finals for the Invitational Class.

01:16:11Rich Bruder going up against Nate Saylor.

01:16:16Sucks, but at least one of us are moving on to the next round.

01:16:19One team Ryan's going to the next round.

01:16:21That's the only thing that's good about this.

01:16:23Semi-finals, we got Rich Bruder.

01:16:25Didn't want that.

01:16:27We were trying to stay away from each other so we could race each other in the final.

01:16:31He's safe.

01:16:32Have fun.

01:16:33We'll see you on the other side.

01:16:34We're going to put a tune-up in the car.

01:16:35We know it's going to haul ass.

01:16:36He's going to do the same.

01:16:37I guarantee it.

01:16:38And we're going to see if we can go get some money and some points and get into the final.

01:16:53The track's going to be there.

01:16:54I don't think there's going to be an issue with that.

01:16:56We're hanging more weight on the front end.

01:16:58This is the fastest passes we've been made to date.

01:17:00You know, it's been shown.

01:17:01We're going rounds now.

01:17:02So hopefully we'll be back and be in the final.

01:17:04And Nate Sailor will take the win.

01:17:05That was a drag race.

01:17:06Super close to the other end.

01:17:07But Nate Sailor turns on the win light.

01:17:13So your finals will be Kai Kelly versus Nate Sailor for $40,000.

01:17:19Good race, brother.

01:17:20Thanks, man.

01:17:21Good job.

01:17:22Thanks, man.

01:17:23We got our front ends high up.

01:17:24We got to make a bar change on this thing now.

01:17:25Oh, man.

01:17:26This thing did a monster wheelie.

01:17:27Yeah, same thing.

01:17:28It was a drag race.

01:17:29It was a drag race.

01:17:30It was a drag race.

01:17:31Super close to the other end.

01:17:32But Nate Sailor turns on the win light.

01:17:33So your finals will be Kai Kelly versus Nate Sailor for $40,000.

01:17:37Good race, brother.

01:17:38Thanks, man.

01:17:39Good job.

01:17:41We got our front ends high up.

01:17:42We got to make a bar change on this thing now.

01:17:44Oh, man.

01:17:45This thing did a monster wheelie.

01:17:46Yeah, same thing.

01:17:47It was awesome.

01:17:48Good job.

01:17:49Thanks, brother.

01:17:50We're going to go win us the championship.

01:17:51That's it.

01:17:52We're going to do it.

01:17:53All right, Michigan.

01:17:54This is your invitational final.

01:17:55Right here, right now.

01:17:58Dude, I'm going to do it.

01:18:00All right, Michigan.

01:18:01This is your invitational final.

01:18:02Right here, right now.

01:18:05Dude, I want this one so bad.

01:18:08I can't even tell you.

01:18:09Finals here.

01:18:10We're against Kai Kelly, and that is my kryptonite.

01:18:13He has beat me three out of three times.

01:18:16Y'all got everything ready to go fast?

01:18:18Yup.

01:18:19I know they're going to throw the kitchen sink at it,

01:18:21because they know when we were running them before,

01:18:23we were right there at his door.

01:18:24Well, this car is faster now.

01:18:30Now, I don't want to think these guys all pooled their money

01:18:32together to buy me, and I'm not doing my job.

01:18:35So I'm out here trying to do the best I can for my team.

01:18:38Um, well, let's see what happens here.

01:18:50These drivers are racing for $40,000.

01:18:53Win or lose, we're going to be at least 100 points ahead of Dave's team.

01:18:56Not to mention we're about to go up there and race for $40,000.

01:19:00This right here will be a drag race between these two extremely fast cars.

01:19:06When Nate Saylor first came into the MPK, you know, everybody was saying he had a lot of money.

01:19:10He was going to be fast, going to be hard to deal with.

01:19:12And, uh, he done one thing that most of the rich guys don't do.

01:19:15He's putting in the work.

01:19:16He's out testing.

01:19:17He's, uh, he knows his car.

01:19:18He's got a good tuner.

01:19:19Let's see who will win the bag of money.

01:19:24So if there was any time that we needed to bring our best game up there, it's now.

01:19:27Oh, and Nate Saylor gets the win!

01:19:51What a drag race!

01:19:55Kyle Kelly was right there!

01:19:57But Nate Saylor is your $40,000 winner!

01:20:02I'm on cloud nine, dude.

01:20:08We made some changes on the car to go fast, quicker, let go of the button.

01:20:12He left right with me, and it was door to door.

01:20:16And then my car was coming in his lane, his car was going to hit the wall, but we got the win.

01:20:23Nate Saylor and crew, Michigan!

01:20:27Woo!

01:20:28We got a fast race car.

01:20:29We're on a good team.

01:20:30We're going to come for that championship.

01:20:32About to hit some wall, buddy.

01:20:33Oh, dude, I about to hit you.

01:20:34Yeah, good race, man.

01:20:35You deserve it, for real.

01:20:36Thanks, brother.

01:20:37I told him, I said, if he beats me, I ain't going to be mad, because I beat him several times this year.

01:20:40Three out of three, you beat me.

01:20:41It was a good race, though.

01:20:42Believe it or not, I feel pretty good coming out of the final race.

01:20:45I did get my ass kicked, but I beat on Nate Saylor all year.

01:20:48It was due.

01:20:49He beat me today, but what we did do is me and Damon went to the semis with him.

01:20:52We made sure they didn't make up any ground on us in the championship, and that's what it's all about right now.

01:20:56We're racing for $200,000.

01:20:58I'm going home, I'm safe, my car don't have no scratches on it, and Nate Saylor got a win.

01:21:03All right, Nate Saylor, it is payday, sir.

01:21:06Look, you battled all weekend and steamrolled through the Invitational Class, two in one season.

01:21:15Nate Saylor, congratulations, man.

01:21:17What are you thinking?

01:21:18Man, I'm just, I can't tell you how excited we are.

01:21:22We're on a new team.

01:21:23Team Ryan Martin proud right there, already paying off.

01:21:28We made a big move for our team, you know.

01:21:30Nate's car's really fast.

01:21:31He's won two events now.

01:21:33Me picking him up paid off dramatically for me.

01:21:35He won the race.

01:21:36He took our team to 110 off first place.

01:21:40And while that might seem like a lot, with the points and a half, and the points and a half, and the double points, it's very achievable.

01:21:45Whoo!

01:21:46Whoa!

01:21:47Look at that, Nate Saylor, man.

01:21:50Hey!

01:21:51Congratulations, sir.

01:21:52$40,000.

01:21:53Nate Saylor, make some noise.

01:21:55Whoo!

01:21:56Whoo!

01:21:57Nate Saylor has won his second Invitational of the season.

01:22:00You gotta ask yourself, where did this guy come from, and how did the other teams miss him?

01:22:07With that being said, Ryan Martin has to be pleased with himself, his team, and his decisions, as he is now within 10 points of Team Dave.

01:22:15He's gotta be feeling pretty good about himself.

01:22:18There's only three events left, and at this point, it is anyone's championship.

01:22:22Next week.

01:22:23All right.

01:22:24Galant Learning Sports Park.

01:22:25How y'all doing today?

01:22:26I think we got the most solid team there is here, as long as we can keep things together.

01:22:32You got Ryan with a lot of momentum.

01:22:35Kai's team might be holding the lead in points.

01:22:39Kai's been running away with this deal.

01:22:41We need to go get him, and this is our chance to make a big move.

01:22:48But the fight for the championship is far from being over.

01:22:52Bodie, you still have a couple guys on your team you have not sold.

01:22:55Points and a half, and then the double.

01:22:56Three races to either catch up or forget it.

01:22:58And at this point right now, we're getting left behind.

01:23:00Some of the teams are out of reach of this championship.

01:23:03We are not.

01:23:04So we're gonna do whatever we can to get Scott Taylor on our team.

01:23:06Oh, my God.

01:23:07Is it gonna happen?
