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,

00:01:08y'all.

00:01:09But look, I will tell you one thing.

00:01:10We're going to try our best to get this track dry.

00:01:13If a little shower comes through, we'll turn around

00:01:15and try to get it dry the moment it stops raining.

00:01:18But now we're going to go ahead and try to get started,

00:01:20get some racing in, and try to beat this weather.

00:01:24We are here today at US 131 in Michigan.

00:01:27This is the first time for us at this track.

00:01:29With the weather being kind of weird, cold and wet,

00:01:32what it does for the drivers is they'll make a pass,

00:01:35and they get data, and then the track conditions can change

00:01:39completely when it rains.

00:01:41They have to come back, wait for the track to dry.

00:01:43All that data they got is now gone.

00:01:46It's useless.

00:01:48We're getting a late start today because of the rain,

00:01:50which may mean we only get through the first round of

00:01:52racing tonight, and we'll have to come back and finish

00:01:54tomorrow.

00:01:55Yeah, Ryan Martin.

00:01:56Winner.

00:01:57Oh, yeah.

00:01:58We're getting a late start today because of the rain,

00:02:00which may mean we only get through the first round of

00:02:02racing tonight, and we'll have to come back and finish

00:02:03tomorrow.

00:02:04The winner of last week's event got his first

00:02:07invitational win of the season.

00:02:09Come back starts now.

00:02:11That's right.

00:02:12That's right.

00:02:13Right now.

00:02:14Right now.

00:02:15Coming into this race, Kai Kelly is still sitting number

00:02:17one in points, but for the last three weeks,

00:02:20they have struggled.

00:02:22And as we're getting closer to the end of the season,

00:02:24it sounds like all of the captains have spent a lot of time

00:02:27on the phone this week working out potential trades

00:02:29and deals of all kinds.

00:02:31There's a couple of teams that know they don't have a shot

00:02:36at winning.

00:02:37Yep.

00:02:38And, you know, every team's got a couple of decent guys in it.

00:02:40Yeah.

00:02:41You know?

00:02:42And then after that, it goes, you know?

00:02:43Yep.

00:02:44You know?

00:02:45They're talking about getting rid of their number one and number

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

00:02:51Politicking.

00:02:52Politicking.

00:02:53Politicking.

00:02:54Politicking.

00:02:55We made some decisions to make some trades due to the performance

00:02:58of our team.

00:02:59Our team has been on a spiral going down.

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

00:03:04Nathan and Damon.

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

00:03:08but a hot commodity right now, man.

00:03:10I'm auctioning them off.

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

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

00:03:14and 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.

00:03:20Buddy called me and said that he realizes that his team

00:03:23ain't got a shot at the championship,

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

00:03:28What's the bid?

00:03:30We bidding or what?

00:03:31What'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.

00:03:40No.

00:03:41Man, this ain't friendship.

00:03:42It's business.

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

00:03:44I know.

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

00:03:48I was already talking to Bodie

00:03:50about possibly trying to get Damon Merchant.

00:03:52I hope y'all are in,

00:03:53because I already told him yes.

00:03:55He named a price.

00:03:56It was $10,000,

00:03:57and I immediately told him,

00:03:59hell yeah, we want to do it.

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

00:04:01I don't know if they're true,

00:04:02but I heard Ryan may or may not have bought Nate Sailor,

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

00:04:08Are you buying anybody?

00:04:10I might.

00:04:11I 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.

00:04:17This is the last event before the points and a half starts,

00:04:20and if there's any moves to be made,

00:04:22now is the time if you think you're going to make a push.

00:04:25That being said,

00:04:26I've got to make smart moves for my team

00:04:28to try to strategically get after this championship.

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

00:04:32Bodie's got two hot commodities.

00:04:33Nate's car's fast.

00:04:34He wants to be on our team.

00:04:35It's going to take a little bit of money.

00:04:36It's going to be interesting today.

00:04:37That's .

00:04:38Yeah, you know, man.

00:04:39You know how this go.

00:04:40Everybody got knives.

00:04:41Sha, Sha, Sha.

00:04:42Sha.

00:04:43Sha.

00:04:44Sha.

00:04:45Sha.

00:04:46Sha.

00:04:47Sha.

00:04:48And if there's any moves to be made,

00:04:49now is the time if you think you're going to make a push.

00:04:50That being said,

00:04:51I've got to make smart moves for my team

00:04:52to try to strategically get after this championship.

00:04:53Sha.

00:04:54Sha.

00:04:55Sha.

00:04:56Sha.

00:04:57Yeah.

00:04:58So last week when Bodie called me wanting to sell Nate and Damon,

00:05:01I actually had told him that I would take both of them

00:05:03for the money he 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

00:05:16and it was going to be great.

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

00:05:20Hey.

00:05:21You've got to take the best shot at winning this championship.

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

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

00:05:30Kyle's going to run Nate.

00:05:31They 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.

00:05:36Texas is where it's like, it's any man's game at Texas, I think.

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

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

00:05:46He got, I think he got Nate.

00:05:48Huh?

00:05:49He got Nate.

00:05:53What's up?

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

00:05:56There'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.

00:06:06Should I be upset?

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

00:06:08Why?

00:06:09You should.

00:06:10I don't know.

00:06:11You're waking up angry.

00:06:12No.

00:06:13I know.

00:06:14You just look like you had a, like a, like a face frown.

00:06:16Uh-uh.

00:06:17No.

00:06:18I'm good.

00:06:20All right, guys.

00:06:21This 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.

00:06:27Sorry.

00:06:28We're going to start with the team that has the most opportunity to do well.

00:06:32Yes.

00:06:33Dean.

00:06:34Yeah.

00:06:35No change.

00:06:36I'm going to have faith in my guys.

00:06:37One of these days, they're going to pull through.

00:06:38Of course.

00:06:39Murillo.

00:06:40Yes.

00:06:41Any changes?

00:06:42Man, you know what?

00:06:43We're doing so good right now, I'd hate to mess it up.

00:06:46Y'all are just a well-oiled machine over there.

00:06:48So no changes.

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

00:06:50Keeping it where it's at.

00:06:51Status quo.

00:06:52Yes, sir.

00:06:53Swanstrom.

00:06:54Changes.

00:06:55I found out this week my money doesn't go as long as some others, so.

00:06:57Oh.

00:06:58Oh.

00:06:59What happened?

00:07:00I don't know.

00:07:01I'm going to stay because there's no, there's no trade there.

00:07:04Got it.

00:07:05Bodie.

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.

00:07:16I'm also going to make a major trade with my two top guys.

00:07:20Okay.

00:07:21So who are you starting with?

00:07:24First, uh, I'll start here with Kai Kelly.

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

00:07:29Uh, we was talking about negotiating.

00:07:32Uh, I got Damon.

00:07:34He wanted to go to your team.

00:07:36He was going to bring me back over Rankin and a couple extra dollars.

00:07:41Ooh.

00:07:42Say no more.

00:07:43$10,000.

00:07:44Wait a minute.

00:07:45Time out.

00:07:46Wait, time out.

00:07:47$10,000.

00:07:48Trading Damon for Rankin was huge for us because Rankin's been struggling.

00:07:51When it does make a pass, it's fast.

00:07:52But to win these deals, you got to be consistent.

00:07:53And you got to be consistent every single week with no breaks.

00:07:55For now, he's just not consistent enough for us to win the championship.

00:07:58And Damon is.

00:07:59It's business and it's $200,000.

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

00:08:02Rankin, please do not take offense to this, but you just traded Damon Merchant for Chris

00:08:13Rankin.

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 and they didn't.

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

00:08:21So I GM these guys and I got them here and they showed me that they was worth every dime

00:08:25of it.

00:08:26So this is what I get in return.

00:08:27And we're not done.

00:08:28We're not done.

00:08:29Oh, you're not.

00:08:30You got more trades.

00:08:31Wow.

00:08:32Okay.

00:08:33What else you got?

00:08:34The next trade we got.

00:08:35Blockbuster trade.

00:08:36It's Nate Taylor.

00:08:37We working a deal with Ryan Martin.

00:08:38Yeah.

00:08:40For who?

00:08:41For Jerry, unfortunately.

00:08:42The bird boys.

00:08:43That's all.

00:08:44Yeah.

00:08:45Oh, that's what you think.

00:08:46Y'all be my.

00:08:47Yeah.

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, obviously 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

00:08:59an equal team.

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

00:09:03Bodie put up Nate Sailor.

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

00:09:06I talked it out with my team.

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

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

00:09:11We thought of it as a very cheap investment to possibly guarantee us another driver to collect

00:09:17points for us to go get that championship.

00:09:19Did you already have the money wired to you?

00:09:21Or is it in cash?

00:09:22Or what's going on with that?

00:09:23You know I'm good for it.

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

00:09:31happy with the trades because that just kind of sets them back as well.

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

00:09:36It's kind of stacking the teams, you know.

00:09:38Set me back.

00:09:39All right.

00:09:40Is that it?

00:09:41Yes, sir.

00:09:42All right.

00:09:43Murder Nova.

00:09:45Yes.

00:09:46I ain't got 10 grand, so.

00:09:47It looks like I'm sticking with my guys.

00:09:51Yeah.

00:09:52Okay.

00:09:53All right, guys.

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

00:09:55That's the captain's meeting.

00:09:56All right.

00:09:57Let's do it.

00:09:58Know what you gotta do.

00:09:59Good deal.

00:10:00All right.

00:10:01Team Kai getting another heavy hitter onto a team that is already sitting in first place.

00:10:06And then you've got Team Ryan Martin who is also getting an extremely fast driver.

00:10:11Moving up, huh?

00:10:13I'm just gonna keep doing what I've been doing.

00:10:16That's right.

00:10:17Oh!

00:10:18This 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.

00:10:30What do you think about the team deal?

00:10:35I don't mind it.

00:10:36It helps y'all.

00:10:37But at the same time, the way he did it.

00:10:38Yeah.

00:10:39You know?

00:10:40I got to him 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.

00:10:49Yeah.

00:10:50We still had a chance.

00:10:51We wasn't out.

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

00:10:53That's what I kind of said, too.

00:10:54Me and Nate talked about that.

00:10:55We still had a chance for the championship.

00:10:57We 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.

00:11:04I 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 take all the money in your pocket and sell out on your people?

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

00:11:17That's chicken .

00:11:19All right.

00:11:26Well, 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.

00:11:41It seems like those trades really opened the floodgates for other team captains to try to make some moves.

00:11:46I said no.

00:11:47I said you've worth more than five.

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

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

00:11:50He 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.

00:12:11But 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.

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

00:12:20Are you talking about Ryan?

00:12:22Oh, wow.

00:12:23Damn.

00:12:24Hey.

00:12:25Oh, wow.

00:12:26Damn.

00:12:27Hey.

00:12:28Wow.

00:12:29We just recovered.

00:12:30I love you, man.

00:12:31We just recovered.

00:12:32I love you, man.

00:12:33All right.

00:12:34Well, look, Sean.

00:12:35Looks 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, Bode 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.

00:13:08Hey, you son of a .

00:13:11Yeah, you were looking good.

00:13:12I was trying to get him mixed up.

00:13:15If anyone asks me, I think you're worth $10,000.

00:13:17Thank you, bud.

00:13:18You're welcome.

00:13:19There ain't no chips in there.

00:13:20In 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.

00:13:35Then, 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.

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

00:14:21I do, too.

00:14:22I mean, for sure, now.

00:14:24But Dave was really wanting to make a run.

00:14:28All right, folks.

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

00:14:32Got Rich Bruder going up against Jim Howe.

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.

00:14:42Getting cold out.

00:14:43Go up there for Invitational chip draw.

00:14:45We draw Jim Howe.

00:14:46It's gonna be a rematch from the last race.

00:14:48We went up there third round last race.

00:14:50Went up there.

00:14:51We had a problem with the car.

00:14:52We, uh, after that race, we went to a dyno.

00:14:55Dynoed the car a little bit.

00:14:56Got it back where it should be.

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

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

00:15:13Holy.

00:15:17So we're here in basically my hometown.

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

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

00:15:22That's all 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,

00:15:28and that's what this is.

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

00:15:31It's what makes this sport and this particular series

00:15:35such an interesting deal.

00:15:36And that's why we've seen so many different winners all year.

00:15:59And Rich Bruder takes the win.

00:16:03Out of there!

00:16:04Rich Bruder moving on to the next round

00:16:06of the Invitational Class.

00:16:09All right, next pair coming at you right now.

00:16:11We got Brandon James going up against Kayla Morton.

00:16:14We are getting ready for today and Dave and Kai kind of went at Damon,

00:16:32and he chose to go with Kai.

00:16:33So 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.

00:16:46And Kayla Morton takes the win there.

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

00:17:06Whoo!

00:17:09The 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

00:17:15and 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 upheld, and I'm about wrecking .

00:17:29Did 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.

00:17:36I appreciate you.

00:17:37Nick Spares coming at you right now.

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

00:17:49So I went up and drew Chip today for round one of the Invitational.

00:17:51I drew Scott Taylor.

00:17:52I've not raced Scott yet, so it ought to be an interesting race.

00:17:57So round one's a little bit different today.

00:17:59We'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!

00:18:15Hey!

00:18:16Hey!

00:18:17What's wrong?

00:18:18It's a transformation.

00:18:19It ain't clicking.

00:18:20Looks like Scott Taylor having issues out there stuck, not backing up.

00:18:21Jiggle right there.

00:18:22Right here?

00:18:23Yep.

00:18:24Mike Murillo, team captain, needs to get out there and figure out what's going on with his teammate,

00:18:28Scott Taylor.

00:18:29Scott Taylor.

00:18:30Put him on the clock!

00:18:31He's on the clock.

00:18:32He's on the right.

00:18:33He's got it.

00:18:34He's got it.

00:18:35Are you going to put him on the clock?

00:18:36Yeah!

00:18:37All right, so Clay Cole has put Scott Taylor on a two-minute clock.

00:18:39Oh, my!

00:18:40See it broke anywhere?

00:18:41I don't see anything.

00:18:42Oh, yep.

00:18:43Right there.

00:18:44Can you shove it back?

00:18:45No.

00:18:46He's got it.

00:18:47He's got it.

00:18:48Yeah.

00:18:49He's got it.

00:18:50He's got it.

00:18:51He's got it.

00:18:52He's got it.

00:18:53He's got it.

00:18:54He's got it.

00:18:55He's got it.

00:18:56He's got it.

00:18:57He's got it.

00:18:58You shove it back?

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

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

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

00:19:07One minute has surpassed.

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

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

00:19:12Maybe 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 got about 10 seconds.

00:19:25Six.

00:19:26Nine.

00:19:27Eight.

00:19:28Seven.

00:19:29Hold on.

00:19:30We good.

00:19:31Six.

00:19:32We good.

00:19:33He's got to tighten one thing.

00:19:34Five.

00:19:35Four.

00:19:36Three.

00:19:37Two.

00:19:38One.

00:19:39That is two minutes.

00:19:40Two minutes.

00:19:41Pass, surpass.

00:19:42One.

00:19:43Well, this is forgot.

00:19:44Is this...

00:19:47Three.

00:19:48Six.

00:19:49How dare you?

00:19:50Five.

00:19:51One.

00:19:52One.

00:19:53Two.

00:19:54One.

00:19:55Two.

00:20:00One.

00:20:01Two.

00:20:02Eight.

00:20:03Three.

00:20:04One.

00:20:05Two.

00:20:06One.

00:20:07Two.

00:20:08All 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 is not going to give anybody one second

00:20:33to actually get a drag race.

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

00:20:36So in the future, anybody, you know, 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?

00:20:45Ah, trans break wouldn't work.

00:20:46I just, it ain't just ain't meant to be right now.

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

00:20:49Oh, good, man.

00:20:49I didn't put you on the clock. My 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.

00:20:55You good?

00:20:55Yep.

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

00:20:58and 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, that'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 gonna be David Gates going up against Murder Nova.

00:21:26Man, I'm gonna have to go up here

00:21:28and race my buddy Sean, Murder Nova.

00:21:30I'm gonna try to get that wind, put him on the trailer.

00:21:37Man, we're starting to go into these points and a half.

00:21:40We got a shot.

00:21:42We're not that far behind.

00:21:45No, y'all aren't a good, y'all in a good spot for sure.

00:21:47Yep.

00:21:49Y'all aren't a, it's achievable where you're at.

00:21:51Yes, yes.

00:21:52Pretty tight.

00:21:55Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:21:56Yeah.

00:21:56But now it's gonna start doing this

00:21:58because they all got five guys in.

00:22:00So normally we race a first round during the day

00:22:04and you have to worry about a tricky track that's hot.

00:22:07Well, this is a little bit different.

00:22:08We're really far north.

00:22:10It's cold.

00:22:11And a cold track could be worse than a hot and greasy track.

00:22:15David Gates' car has the capabilities

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

00:22:31I know he's been struggling a little bit,

00:22:33but I can't look at it that way.

00:22:36I have to look at it like,

00:22:37how much power is this lane gonna take

00:22:39whenever I try to put it down?

00:22:41And that's the route we're gonna go.

00:22:45Rumor Nova takes the win.

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

00:23:05Good job, Phantom.

00:23:07Next pair coming at you is gonna be B-Rack

00:23:10going up against Chuck 55.

00:23:13Good luck.

00:23:13Be careful.

00:23:14Good luck, guys.

00:23:15Good job.

00:23:17We just drew a teammate.

00:23:18We drew Chuck Parker.

00:23:19It sucks.

00:23:20They're fans.

00:23:21But I really want to win first round.

00:23:23That's my simple goal for the week, win first round.

00:23:35Next pair coming at you is going to be

00:23:37B-Rack going up against Chuck 55.

00:23:45And Chuck 55 takes the win.

00:23:58All right, coming at you right now.

00:23:59That's going to be Disco Dean going up against Nate Sailor.

00:24:06At the end of the day, it's the captain's

00:24:08choice to do what they want.

00:24:09They can put us down in a reserve pool, trade us, swap us.

00:24:12Nothing we can do about it.

00:24:13But Bodhi gave me the choice.

00:24:15He said, you pick where you want to go.

00:24:17That's where you can go.

00:24:20And to be honest, I didn't want to go to the first place

00:24:23team, Kai's team.

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

00:24:27Like, if we win, I don't want to be like, oh, well, you got

00:24:29traded at the last minute on to Kai's team,

00:24:31and he was in first place.

00:24:32I want to go to a team that's going to work their ass off

00:24:35and make it happen.

00:24:43And now it's crunch time.

00:24:47After this race, then it's points and a half, points and

00:24:49a half, and then double points.

00:24:51Like, if you don't have your group and your together before

00:24:53then, people are going to go flying by you.

00:24:57I'm just looking for the opportunity to go win a

00:24:58championship.

00:24:59a half, and then I want to go to the next

00:25:01race.

00:25:02Let's go, brother!

00:25:03You look close to me.

00:25:04You look close to me.

00:25:18.

00:25:20Good lap, mate.

00:25:21Thanks, brother.

00:25:24Good run.

00:25:24Did you make a clean head?

00:25:26Yeah, I was right there next to you the whole time,

00:25:27just getting loose down there like that.

00:25:30I lifted about the Monarchone just to be safe,

00:25:32because it was getting wish-washy.

00:25:34I hear you.

00:25:35Good lap!

00:25:35Thanks, brother.

00:25:38Next pair, that is going to be Damon Merchant

00:25:40and his competitor, Jeff Lutz.

00:25:43What's wrong?

00:25:44Number one, sitting at round 700.

00:25:47We got your belt.

00:25:48Huh?

00:25:50We got your belt.

00:25:51Check it.

00:25:52We've just been fighting little gremlins all day, really.

00:25:55We just got a blower.

00:25:57We keep having cylinder one shut off randomly.

00:26:00So we got the coil swapped and a new spark plug wire on it.

00:26:04So we're just going to, I mean, it's time to go up.

00:26:08So we're going to give her hell.

00:26:10We drew Jeff Lutz for the first time this year.

00:26:13In all honesty, I haven't got to race very many 405 guys

00:26:16this season.

00:26:17He's another big block Chevy out here.

00:26:19There's not too many of us out here.

00:26:20So just going to have to find out if his big block's

00:26:22faster than my big block.

00:26:25What do you think?

00:26:27I don't know.

00:26:28I didn't get to see Damon's earlier pass.

00:26:30I'm not worried about him.

00:26:31I'm just worried about the cold track.

00:26:33And I went over and asked Ryan.

00:26:34I said, what's your plan?

00:26:35He goes, man, I think I'm going to leave it alone.

00:26:37I said, yeah, I think we're going to too.

00:26:39He's 12th.

00:26:40I said, well, pay attention to us because we're

00:26:42going to leave it alone.

00:26:44Don't you know I draw Damon Merchant?

00:26:46You know, it's been cold all day.

00:26:47It's been raining.

00:26:48It is what it is.

00:26:49Let's give it what we got, you know?

00:26:51So our test pass earlier today went really well.

00:26:54We ran pretty close against Ryan.

00:26:56And I said, let's just rerun that run.

00:26:58Damon Merchant takes the wing right past there.

00:27:18Damon won his race.

00:27:20So far, my trade is going exactly the direction

00:27:22I needed it to go.

00:27:23His test passes, they sucked.

00:27:25Broke a blower, burned up a spark plug.

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

00:27:29And that's exactly why we paid the money for him,

00:27:31because he's worth it.

00:27:32Whoo.

00:27:33Had to do a little driving that time.

00:27:35All right, folks, this next pair, that's

00:27:36going to be Larry Larson going up against Axeman.

00:27:40Oh, man.

00:27:41He's going to be a little driving that time.

00:27:43All right, folks.

00:27:44This next pair, that's going to be Larry Larson going up

00:27:46against Axeman.

00:27:48Larry Larson going up against Axeman.

00:27:51Larry lost.

00:27:56Larry.

00:27:57Shoot, I don't know how many times I've raced Larry.

00:28:00I got him the last time we raced.

00:28:02But it was nose to nose that told him.

00:28:06Larry has stepped his game up a lot.

00:28:09So this is not going to be easy.

00:28:12Not going to be easy.

00:28:14Put my mittens on now.

00:28:16What's that?

00:28:16I'm going to put my mittens on.

00:28:18You're all set.

00:28:21Cold out here.

00:28:23Yes, it is.

00:28:25Pulled Larry, Roach, Axeman.

00:28:27Same guy tunes his, tunes Kayla's, and a couple other ones.

00:28:30So I know about how fast they are.

00:28:32I think we're fully capable of outrunning them.

00:28:34You're going to have to be good on the light

00:28:36and make a nice clean run.

00:28:46The track's really cold right now.

00:28:48The sun's went down.

00:28:50It hasn't rained this afternoon, which is great.

00:28:52But the track conditions are going to start to get a little treacherous

00:28:55down there from half-track on.

00:29:09All right, folks.

00:29:09This next pair, that's going to be Larry Larson going up

00:29:12against Axeman.

00:29:30And Axeman.

00:29:32First seven looks back.

00:29:34Good job, baby.

00:29:35Good job.

00:29:36Good job, man.

00:29:37So Axeman moving on to the next round.

00:29:39Woo!

00:29:40And more!

00:29:41Woo!

00:29:42We rolled in.

00:29:43When that light turned green, I come off that button.

00:29:45I've never seen him again.

00:29:47Like this thing is walking up on the center line.

00:29:49I'm fighting it back, fighting it back.

00:29:51I kept telling myself, I'm not going to let off.

00:29:53My light come on.

00:29:54I said, whew!

00:29:55No, that's another bullet.

00:29:57Man.

00:29:58I'm glad to get past that first round.

00:30:01Next pair, that's going to be Giuseppe going up against Tony McKinney.

00:30:06So in Maple Grove, we had Nate first round, which is tough.

00:30:09Yeah.

00:30:10He's fast.

00:30:11Obviously, he was coming off the win.

00:30:12Yeah.

00:30:13He's been moving lately.

00:30:14Yeah.

00:30:15So he got us by a fender.

00:30:16But we made a good run.

00:30:17Yeah.

00:30:18The car's fast.

00:30:19We made some changes.

00:30:20We changed the combination up.

00:30:21Yeah.

00:30:22So I'm feeling confident for the rest of the season.

00:30:23I feel real good.

00:30:24Yeah, I'm feeling good.

00:30:25Real good.

00:30:26And we drew Tony McKinney for first round here.

00:30:29Haven't raced Tony McKinney this year.

00:30:31So not sure how fast he is or not.

00:30:33Haven't really gauged him yet.

00:30:34But we're about to find out here in a little bit.

00:30:43The car's really fast.

00:30:45It's flying.

00:30:46But we got to make it to the finish line.

00:30:51We tried a couple more things.

00:30:52We'll see if it makes it to the finish line this next round here.

00:30:56It was fast.

00:31:13with the wind, that car was out of here.

00:31:25It was fast, fast.

00:31:27Right through the stripe, didn't see Tony McKinney

00:31:29that whole run.

00:31:30And we pulled off a wind.

00:31:32I just had to cut gas.

00:31:33Yeah.

00:31:34I knew I had to.

00:31:35I know how fast it was.

00:31:36No, yeah.

00:31:37Yeah, that was a good run, probably, right there.

00:31:39Yeah, wheels up.

00:31:40It was moving around a little bit, but.

00:31:41Was it?

00:31:42Man, we packed the wheels, and then they still

00:31:44had the wheels packed on the 1-2 ship.

00:31:46And then I felt it.

00:31:48As soon as I felt it wiggle, I was like, oh, and I cut gas.

00:31:50And I almost went over into your lane.

00:31:51Oh, .

00:31:52So I was able to save it.

00:31:53Yeah.

00:31:54Hey.

00:31:54All right, buddy.

00:31:55Congratulations.

00:31:55All right, man, thank you.

00:31:56All right, next pair coming at you.

00:31:58We got Callie Mills going up against Mike Murillo.

00:32:01Got $100 on the left lane.

00:32:04Going into the first round of Race Your Way

00:32:06In against Jerry Bird, and had just a killer pass,

00:32:10and broke a rod.

00:32:11We're applying, you know, 5,000 horsepower at, you know,

00:32:152.2 seconds in.

00:32:17Have we reached a threshold, a limit?

00:32:18You know, I don't know.

00:32:20What does this mean?

00:32:21It means we're broke.

00:32:23That's what it means.

00:32:23We're broke.

00:32:24I draw none other than Mike Murillo.

00:32:33Unfortunately, he broke his motor.

00:32:35Like, it's, I guess, in pieces.

00:32:37Not good.

00:32:38I hate that for them.

00:32:39Very unfortunate luck.

00:32:40But, on our end, we got lucky again.

00:32:59All right, so, Kelly Mills pulls and shoots, gets it back straight.

00:33:02Nice job.

00:33:03I got out there, got loose on the 2-3 shift.

00:33:09It had the wheels up and just got sideways.

00:33:11I needed to have the shootout a little bit sooner, because it was, and that was not good.

00:33:16So, just had it with two hopped up.

00:33:18Next pair coming at you right now, Kai Kelly going up against Lizzie Musi.

00:33:24You know, I know you're sick, so there's nothing you can do about it.

00:33:27I honestly, like, standing, like, I feel like I could throw up any pin.

00:33:31That's how I feel like.

00:33:32Really?

00:33:33Okay.

00:33:34I'm not feeling the greatest this weekend.

00:33:36I'm trying the best I can, so I'm pushing through it.

00:33:39And guess what?

00:33:40I draw a freaking Kai first round again.

00:33:43Definitely didn't want to freaking race him again.

00:33:45No matter what, one of us is going on to the next round for the team.

00:33:48So, that's the way I kind of look at it.

00:33:50Let me win one.

00:33:55Round one, I drew Lizzie.

00:33:56I don't like racing my own team.

00:33:58I definitely don't like racing Lizzie.

00:33:59It seems like every time I get beside her, I get emotional.

00:34:02And I don't like the feeling, and I'd rather her just draw somebody else,

00:34:06because her car is fast, and we got to run the hell out of my car to try to outrun her.

00:34:10So, it just sucks because there's two fast people,

00:34:12and one of us has got to go home first round when we draw each other.

00:34:30We got to be on top of our game.

00:34:31We've got to go as fast as we've possibly ever been right here today if we want to get out of first round.

00:34:37It's probably the toughest first round draw you can get.

00:34:39Next pair coming at you right now.

00:34:53Kai Kelly going up against Lizzie Musi.

00:34:57Kai Kelly gets the redemption there, takes the win.

00:35:02Lots of smoke down there in Lizzie's lane at the very end of the track.

00:35:16I couldn't imagine having more than one motor where you're cool with just burning it down.

00:35:21Every one, every lap.

00:35:23Every one, every lap.

00:35:24What the ?

00:35:25Yeah, yeah.

00:35:26I don't get it.

00:35:27They said he was up against the wall.

00:35:29Was you?

00:35:30I don't think so.

00:35:31Oh, can't.

00:35:33But a good thing about it.

00:35:34It ate itself up before the finish line, but you had me anyway.

00:35:36Good job.

00:35:38At least we're one and one for the day.

00:35:40Oh, what a shit.

00:35:42If they ain't blowing the motor up, they ain't trying to win, and that's exactly what I want

00:35:44my team to do when they draw me.

00:35:46I 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.

00:35:50I'm still proud of you though, you're my hero.

00:35:52Why?

00:35:53You're fighting what you're fighting.

00:35:54Just stop.

00:35:55Hard on me this weekend, so.

00:35:57They love you.

00:35:58Always.

00:35:59Okay, good job.

00:36:00Go kick ass, okay?

00:36:02Okay.

00:36:03Okay.

00:36:04Okay.

00:36:05Okay.

00:36:06Okay.

00:36:07Okay.

00:36:08Okay.

00:36:09Okay.

00:36:10Okay.

00:36:11Okay.

00:36:12Okay.

00:36:13Okay.

00:36:14Okay.

00:36:15Okay.

00:36:16Okay.

00:36:17Okay.

00:36:18Okay.

00:36:19Okay.

00:36:20Okay.

00:36:21Okay.

00:36:22Okay.

00:36:23Okay.

00:36:26Robin Roberts going up against his team captain, Brian Martin.

00:36:34Here we are now, it's nighttime.

00:36:35It is really cold out here.

00:36:38The track surface is good for about a hundred foot, but after that it's not great.

00:36:42You know, I'm trying to make this deal a comeback, right?

00:36:44So we won the last race, we're trying to do well, and I, and I, all the guys have all talked like,

00:36:49hey, we just need a couple of good draws.

00:36:51And here I am today, and I drew Robin Roberts again.

00:36:54Good luck, man.

00:36:55Good luck.

00:36:56Good luck.

00:36:57Good luck.

00:37:01Good luck, homie.

00:37:02You too, man.

00:37:03Be safe.

00:37:04He has one of the fastest cars here.

00:37:06Very similar combination to mine.

00:37:08I mean, not who I wanted.

00:37:09We're pulling out all the stops.

00:37:11We'll see if it's enough.

00:37:13You know, I hate drawing Ryan.

00:37:16One, he's my buddy.

00:37:18Two, like, he's my team captain.

00:37:20But we got Ryan.

00:37:21We're going to have to make it work.

00:37:27Hey, that didn't even really look close, did it?

00:37:50We're rolling in the lights, and I know he likes to do the double bulge real fast.

00:37:55So I tried to light mine real quick behind him.

00:37:58We rolled left at the same time, and he just flat out run us in the middle of the track.

00:38:01He just pulled a fender on me.

00:38:03You know, I hate to lose, and it sucks, but the team, four out of five, are moving on to the next round.

00:38:08We're going to keep gaining points for Team Ryan Martin.

00:38:09You know what?

00:38:10I've drawn my teammate four times in a row.

00:38:12Started with him, then I drew Giuseppe, then I drew Bird Boys, and I drew him again.

00:38:17What about drawing Lizzie twice in one day?

00:38:19Yeah, no .

00:38:20A great eight in there.

00:38:21Good job.

00:38:22And then I hugged her and started crying.

00:38:23It's still in there somewhere.

00:38:24You did?

00:38:25Yeah.

00:38:27This pair here, we've got Paige Coughlin going up against her teammate and team captain, Daddy Dave.

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

00:38:38What's that?

00:38:39It just needs to do what it did earlier.

00:38:41Yeah, it will.

00:38:42You'll be nice.

00:38:44It was a nice, smooth run and pretty similar.

00:38:48All righty.

00:38:49Oh, .

00:38:50We're here at US 131 Dragway.

00:38:52We finally get to go some rounds.

00:38:54You know, we were able to make a test pass.

00:38:56We're going up for first round.

00:38:57We've been battling, like, the cold weather, the rain, sunshine, clouds, but finally, we're able to hit the track.

00:39:03We're ready to rock and roll.

00:39:04We went up for chip draw and we drew Daddy Dave, but you know what?

00:39:08Positive outlook on this.

00:39:09One of us from Team Daddy Dave is going to be guaranteed a spot in round two.

00:39:27We drew our own teammate again, Paige Coughlin.

00:39:30We raced her a few weeks ago at another event.

00:39:41This time, I hope it's a little closer race because she got this new motor in there.

00:39:44We'll go up here, let go of the button, and see if we can't go on round two.

00:39:47And Daddy Dave takes the win.

00:39:58Looked like Paige Coughlin was out in front, pulled the chutes a little early.

00:40:04Oh, my God.

00:40:05I'm so scared.

00:40:06Why?

00:40:07What happened?

00:40:08Oh, it was going everywhere but straight for a minute.

00:40:09I'm like, oh, no, no, no.

00:40:10Hey, good job.

00:40:11Oh, my God.

00:40:12So scary.

00:40:13Knocked my head up at the tree.

00:40:14I go, where is she going?

00:40:15You know what, Daddy?

00:40:16You took a guy.

00:40:17Yeah, it was .

00:40:18I got to keep you in line at least on the top part, you know?

00:40:21That's the second time I've left before you.

00:40:22Yeah.

00:40:23All right, next pair coming at you.

00:40:24We got John Odoms.

00:40:25They go up against Bobby.

00:40:26Jacote.

00:40:27Oh, my God.

00:40:28Oh, my God.

00:40:29Oh, my God.

00:40:30No, no, no, no, no.

00:40:31Hey, good job.

00:40:32Oh, my God.

00:40:33So scary.

00:40:34Knocked my head up at the tree.

00:40:35I go, where is she going?

00:40:36You know what, Daddy?

00:40:37You took a guy.

00:40:38Yeah, it was .

00:40:39I got to keep you in line at least on the top part, you know?

00:40:42That's the second time I've left before you.

00:40:43Yeah.

00:40:44All right, next pair coming at you.

00:40:45We got John Odoms.

00:40:46They go up against Bobby.

00:40:47Jacote.

00:40:53We're trying to get some points.

00:40:56We kind of got our whole team, like, just snatched off from under us.

00:40:59And our great captain decided to just sell everybody

00:41:02to pad his own pockets the hell with everybody else.

00:41:04His ass still ain't racing.

00:41:06He ain't got a single point this year.

00:41:08Went a single round this year.

00:41:09But he put all that money in his pocket

00:41:11the hell with the rest of the team.

00:41:13Whatever.

00:41:14It is what it is.

00:41:15I'll probably be trading next week.

00:41:17I don't really know where I'm going.

00:41:20Don't really care.

00:41:21I'd rather be anywhere than with a snake like that.

00:41:40Oh, .

00:41:41Hey, John Odom will take the win there.

00:41:44Yeah, John.

00:41:45We got the win.

00:41:46At least that was moving on.

00:41:47How was pulling back to you?

00:41:48Bobby, I saw you the whole time, dude.

00:41:50The whole time, brother.

00:41:52Were you like...

00:41:53There was a point.

00:41:54I didn't...

00:41:55Did you see me the whole time?

00:41:56I can see your nose right here.

00:41:57Yeah.

00:41:58The whole time.

00:41:59Battle of the turbo cars coming at you right now.

00:42:02Got Chris Rankin over in the left lane in the conquest.

00:42:05Going up against Chuck Seitzinger in the right lane.

00:42:09In the right lane.

00:42:16We drew Chuck.

00:42:17And, uh, him and I are usually door to door, so it could be anybody's race.

00:42:20Him and I are both hot strong as hell.

00:42:22So, you know, hopefully we can both have a good drag race.

00:42:25And, uh, and I come out on top.

00:42:27And I go in round two.

00:42:28So, that's it.

00:42:29Chris Rankin in the left lane.

00:42:31Twin turbo conquest going up against Chuck Seitzinger.

00:42:33Twin turbo Mustang in the right lane.

00:42:42This is the first time I've been in the Invitational in three or four weeks,

00:42:44so I need to go to the semifinals.

00:42:47So when I go to, uh, Galat, I'm not in the race your way in.

00:42:51So, but right now, I just can't give up.

00:42:54So, I'm gonna do the best I can.

00:43:14All right, Chris Rankin will get the win.

00:43:18Chuck Seitzinger has problems on the hit.

00:43:24All right, folks, we got Jimmy Taylor going up against Justin Swanstrom.

00:43:44Oh, man.

00:43:45It's been so cold here.

00:43:46It's pretty rough.

00:43:47We'll see how it plays out.

00:43:48I know the tracks are gonna be very tricky, um, for everybody today, too.

00:43:52But everybody's gotta go down the same surface.

00:44:08All right, folks, we got Jimmy Taylor going up against Justin Swanstrom.

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

00:44:29Justin Swanstrom having to pedal over there in that right lane.

00:44:33Going into round two, Ryan Martin has four racers moving on.

00:44:37Meanwhile, Dave and Kai only have three.

00:44:39It does feel like Ryan is picking up some momentum in his program.

00:44:42But he came off his first invitational win last week.

00:44:46Now, he's picked up Nate Saylor, and he's looking to continue that forward movement.

00:44:51Nate Saylor and Damon Merchant are moving on to round two.

00:44:54It really seems like they're trying to prove that they are worth the investment that was made.

00:44:58All right, folks, gonna have my drivers draw chips.

00:45:01What is that?

00:45:02What is that?

00:45:03What is that?

00:45:04What is that?

00:45:05What is that?

00:45:06All righty, where are my number ones?

00:45:10Kelly Mills versus Kayla Morton.

00:45:13Chuck 55 and Giuseppe.

00:45:14Yes, Giuseppe.

00:45:15That is a two.

00:45:16Oh.

00:45:17Yeah.

00:45:18Axeman versus Ryan Martin.

00:45:19Oh, wow.

00:45:20Daddy Dave versus Murder Nova.

00:45:21Chris Rankin versus Nate Saylor.

00:45:23It's gonna be John Odom versus Damon Merchant.

00:45:28Jimmy Taylor and Kai Kelly.

00:45:29All right, drivers.

00:45:30Well, y'all got some time to think about what you got to do to your cars.

00:45:31All right, so my eighth and final pair will be Rich Bruder versus Clay Cole.

00:45:40All right, drivers.

00:45:41Well, y'all got some time to think about what you got to do to your cars.

00:45:45Cuz this round will be run tomorrow.

00:45:46We appreciate you coming.

00:45:47See you tomorrow.

00:45:48All right.

00:45:49Unfortunately, the rain yesterday set us back late enough that we were only able to get the

00:45:54first round of racing in.

00:45:58That means we will have to be spending one more day here in Michigan to finish up the

00:46:03rounds, and we were going to try to make sure we got to catch up.

00:46:08All righty.

00:46:09round of racing in. That means we will have to be spending one more day here in Michigan to finish

00:46:14up the rounds and determine who will be walking away with the $40,000 Invitational prize mode.

00:46:20How are you? What's up? How's everybody doing today? Good.

00:46:30All right, folks, we're gonna go ahead and get started on racing. For those that were here last

00:46:33night, you know that we made it through our first round of the Invitational class. We're gonna finish

00:46:40it up today on a beautiful Sunday here in Michigan. First pair here in this second round Invitational

00:46:47class got Callie Mills going up against Caleb Horton. You ready? Yeah, I think so. Last night,

00:46:54so we changed the cam, you know, to make more horsepower out the back. And so they didn't have

00:46:59the drive shaft curve close enough to it because they were trying to see what it would do since

00:47:03we had that fly against Mike. And oh, it went out there and it was like, I was like. You did a hell

00:47:08of a job last night. Yeah, I'm like, so I just hope we can make it down. And if I can do my job on the

00:47:12tree, I think we'll be okay. Today's a new day. Second round of Invitational. We drew Kayla Morton.

00:47:18I'm gonna have my work cut out for me because my car has not been happy. But last night we made a good

00:47:25pass to like the 330 and then when it shifted into high gear, it just got sideways and did not

00:47:29go well. So hopefully we can get it to go A to B and I can do my job on the tree because I think

00:47:39I'm gonna have to have a really good light. Perfect. Nailed it. Started off the day good, guys.

00:47:48Callie is not one to take lightly. She's getting better and better, faster and faster each race.

00:47:53She's been to a semifinal this year. We are first pair. So that is another factor to kind of take

00:47:58into account.

00:48:13But we have momentum. We've made pass after pass and just looking to get six round wins here in a row,

00:48:18which is super exciting.

00:48:30And Kayla Morton gonna take the win there. Callie Mills. Car makes a hard move out there.

00:48:49We both be driving.

00:48:50All right, next pair. You got Chuck 55 going up against Giuseppe.

00:48:56We just need to figure out, we got a Giuseppe.

00:49:00He's got a good setup, fast car, but he's been struggling a little bit. I'm gonna try to tear

00:49:08their head off on the light. And if I can leave with them, it gets game over because I'm telling you,

00:49:14I'll pull them on the big end. If we hold things together, I'll make more power on the big end.

00:49:18Just need to make it to the finals.

00:49:20That's it. I know.

00:49:23We need to get to the finals, baby.

00:49:25All right, you guys good over there?

00:49:27Yeah, we're good.

00:49:27Right now, I just put a bunch of fuel, the air fuel ratio that the car would normally run at,

00:49:31which has just changed. The weather, whatever, don't know. But now it needs a lot more fuel in the car,

00:49:37so we put more fuel in it. Chuck 55, I know he made it to the finals a few races back there.

00:49:43We're really gonna just try to run our own race, try to go as fast as we can what the track will

00:49:47take. But I'm gonna just worry about our program right now and try to push the limits of the track

00:49:51and see if we can pull it off.

00:49:54Right now, we got four guys in. We got the most guys still going rounds right now.

00:50:10We're the only ones who have four in, so we're gonna try to close that gap this weekend.

00:50:14Hopefully we can get two of our guys in the finals, and I'm hoping for all four of our guys for the

00:50:18semi-finals left, then two of our guys in the finals to get max points out of this weekend and

00:50:23close that gap against Kai there.

00:50:41And Giuseppe gonna take the win there. Nice pass from him.

00:50:47It was loose out there, Chuck. What happened?

00:50:49I did what I didn't want to do.

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

00:50:55Yeah. And, uh, plus you left on me.

00:50:57Oh, yeah.

00:50:58And so that didn't help.

00:50:59Yeah, yeah.

00:50:59But, man, I mean, as a, when I felt the power ramp in, I started reeling you up.

00:51:04Yeah.

00:51:04But it was, man, I mean, it was too late.

00:51:06Too late.

00:51:06All right, folks, this right here is gonna be a good one.

00:51:08That is gonna be Maxman going up against Ryan Martin.

00:51:12Better make a straight hit. Who has something for him?

00:51:14Definitely can't pedal against Ryan, so you're gonna have to drive.

00:51:17No, no. Got a tough competitor, Ryan Martin. The maddest man on the planet as far as I'm concerned.

00:51:23Like, I mean, he's tough. He's got a couple advantages. He's changed his new car over.

00:51:27He went to that new blower, but I'm gonna figure out some way to get around here.

00:51:33I've got Axman first round. They got a new motor in the car.

00:51:36I expect them to be a handful, so we're not gonna turn this car down.

00:51:40I'm gonna bank on the track holding what I'm gonna put in it, and hopefully it does.

00:51:55My team has done really good. We've got four cars in right now, which is what we hope for.

00:51:59Nobody else has that many in. The trade move that we did, Nate's still in, and it was a smart move.

00:52:04I need all four of my guys to advance to next round because we didn't draw each other,

00:52:07and it would be fantastic if we could get in there.

00:52:30Guess the light.

00:52:31He can't be mad! He did it last week!

00:52:39I told that , I said, you can't be mad ever again!

00:52:42You did it last week!

00:52:44He did it last week!

00:52:45How'd you do it, baby? I'm sorry, but I had to do it!

00:52:52So unfortunately, we had a car tuned up and a good car for the weekend, and

00:52:56somebody guessed and put us on the trailer. We all got the same opportunity,

00:52:59that's just not the way I raced. He's a guessing one.

00:53:03Hey! Hey!

00:53:05Hey, one day you're gonna have a car fast enough, you ain't gotta do that.

00:53:07Let me tell you, that blower is 600s faster, and you know it.

00:53:10It's all good. Hey!

00:53:11I know you're gonna hit some of those, and some of them you ain't. That one you hit.

00:53:14Hey, I had to make up 600s, brother.

00:53:16I get it.

00:53:17Axeman ended up guessing on the tree, and as we know,

00:53:20Ryan Martin absolutely hates that, but it just goes to show that these racers will do whatever it takes to get the win.

00:53:27Oh, yeah, everybody knew you were gonna do it.

00:53:29Next pair, that's gonna be Daddy Dave going up against Murder Nova.

00:53:35It sucks, because what do you do here? You know what I mean? Like, you can't turn it down,

00:53:40because you'll get outran. You can't turn it up anymore, because the track ain't gonna take it.

00:53:44You know what I mean?

00:53:45I promise you don't turn it .

00:53:46Yeah, that's gonna be a drag race for sure.

00:53:49We finally don't suck, so don't turn it down.

00:53:51This is where your tune-ups get tricky. I drew Daddy Dave, and we're the fourth pair.

00:53:57It's not a whole lot of heat in the track. This might be one of those days where a later round

00:54:03probably would have been better. Dave's a tough draw, no matter what. Even if you have Dave outgunned,

00:54:08which I truly believe I do, Dave is Dave, and Dave tends to win races.

00:54:13Sean's been hauling ass lately, going rounds, and I couldn't be happier for the guy,

00:54:27but when we pull the start line, the friendship's over right there.

00:54:30Next pair, and that's gonna be Daddy Dave, going up against Murder, Nosy.

00:54:45That was a drag race, folks, but Murder, Nosy gets there first, turns on the wind light. Nice job.

00:55:03Ride, ride, ride.

00:55:06So we take the light. We left together. He got me a little bit in the middle. I put about half a car on me on the finish line.

00:55:14Side by side. It was. It was a good race, man.

00:55:18This next pair, that's gonna be Chris Rankin, going up against Nate Saylor.

00:55:23Okay, we can go up.

00:55:25Second round, we have Chris Rankin. He can make a stupid fast pass, but it's one here or there.

00:55:32Our car's, like, more consistent, I would think, so as far as the matchup goes,

00:55:36he's gonna have to treat me, and I'm just gonna make it impossible for him to do that.

00:55:44He got traded to Team Bodie, which is where I came from. I love my old team still. In fact,

00:55:56I'd go back to him if I had to, but now we're Team Ryan, and we're gonna do everything we can

00:56:01and chop their heads off.

00:56:20Take the car, fast as . You see how fast that boy is? God.

00:56:25And they still almost drove around him.

00:56:30He guessed. I knew he knew he had to. He ain't got nothing for this car, let's be honest.

00:56:35Man, I went red, dude. I knew I was gonna take a shot at with your ass, dude.

00:56:38That's your ass. I'm sorry, man. We're moving on anyway.

00:56:41You ain't sorry. Don't lie.

00:56:42You're moving on anyway.

00:56:43Yep.

00:56:44All right, next pair coming up right here. It's gonna be John Odom going up against Damon Merchant.

00:56:49Did you see John make a pass yesterday?

00:56:51No, I didn't. His test pass wasn't very good, but they said he ran pretty good in his first E1 pass.

00:56:57I don't know who he raced, though.

00:56:58He raced Bobby, Dakota.

00:57:00We'll talk to Bobby and see how it went. We know how Bobby runs. Bobby's not shy.

00:57:04We got our draw last night in John Odom. I raced that car twice this year,

00:57:08once with Jim driving it, once with John driving it. We've outran them both times,

00:57:13but after the problems that we've been having this weekend, you can't count anybody out.

00:57:17I don't know if it's a deal where, you know, his tuner's gonna have all the confidence in him

00:57:20to get it down that cold racetrack today. So as long as Vinyl hit on all eight cylinders,

00:57:25I'm pretty sure we can outrun that car again.

00:57:28Jim, we throwing in the kick-ass tune?

00:57:32I got Damon Merchant today. You know, him and Jim have had a little drama.

00:57:36Now he's on Kai Kelly's team. As you guys know, Kai Kelly's number one. He is fast.

00:57:40So that just makes it a little bit harder for Team Swanstrom just to get to that spot.

00:57:44But we're working really hard.

00:57:52Jim had a problem with his car. It went right last night. So he's out already.

00:57:55Justin's out. He had a problem with his car. So let's just see if we can go out

00:57:59and get us in the finals and we'll help Team Swanstrom.

00:58:03Team-wise, I still got three in. We lost David and Lizzie.

00:58:06Ron Martin's got three just like we got three. If we can just make it to the next round and they all win,

00:58:11we'll be tied up with him. We'll keep points in between us. He can't catch us.

00:58:32And David Merchant gets the win. Great pass here in the left lane for David.

00:58:38David takes the win there and move on to the next round.

00:58:42Woo!

00:58:43Baby, that's a good race.

00:58:44It was a good one.

00:58:48Oh, I didn't think he was coming with no weak .

00:58:50No, I wasn't. We were right there. I'm super proud of you, man.

00:58:53That was a great race. Good job.

00:58:54Good job.

00:58:55Good job, buddy.

00:58:55The next pair coming at you right now. We've got Jimmy Taylor going up against Kai Kelly.

00:59:02Hey, man.

00:59:02Welcome to the team today, man. Don't suck.

00:59:05You need some help. I'm available.

00:59:07And don't forget nothing.

00:59:08All right? Got it.

00:59:09Other than that, I'm going to let go of the button.

00:59:11Kick Mr. Jimmy Taylor's ass.

00:59:16Let go of the button on time.

00:59:18We're back. We're in Michigan. We're starting round two an invitational.

00:59:20We won last night. We got that monkey off our back.

00:59:23We got Jimmy Taylor. He took out Justin Swanstrom yesterday.

00:59:25So he must be fast, but we're ready for him.

00:59:30Jimmy's also another pro-charger car. Pro-chargers are hard to beat. Some guys are just bouncing data off each other and hooking each other's computers to their cars, and they're all getting faster and faster.

00:59:43Jimmy's also another pro-charger car. Pro-chargers are hard to beat. Some guys are just bouncing data off each other and hooking each other's computers to their cars, and they're all getting faster and faster.

00:59:56And Kyle Kelly gets there first with a great pass there down the track.

01:00:01And Kyle Kelly gets there first. With a great pass there down the track.

01:00:24We just got through round two which felt like round one because it was the first race of the day, and our car went really fast. Adam nailed the tune up.

01:00:31I think I did pretty good on the tree.

01:00:34Jimmy Taylor, he pulled on me in the middle a little bit.

01:00:37And then my car shifted into high, just went around it.

01:00:42It was a lot faster than I thought I was about to go.

01:00:43I'm real happy with it.

01:00:44And I think we got a hot rod.

01:00:46I think as long as I do my job, I think

01:00:48they got their hands full today.

01:00:50All right, last pair here in the Invitational class.

01:00:52Rich Bruder going to go up against Clay Cole.

01:00:55We double checked all the wiring and the fittings

01:00:57on the front of the car over there?

01:00:58Yes, sir.

01:00:59And then suspension's good up front?

01:01:01Yep, yep.

01:01:02How do you feel about it?

01:01:03I feel good.

01:01:03I feel really good.

01:01:04We got a good driver.

01:01:05Yeah?

01:01:06I got Rich Bruder.

01:01:07I've not faced off against him yet.

01:01:09I know he's got a fast hot rod, but I feel like we're probably

01:01:12a little bit faster on the big end.

01:01:15We're going to go up there, see what we got for Rich Bruder,

01:01:18and hopefully we'll go on with the third round.

01:01:19So last night, it was really cold.

01:01:21The track temp was really, really down.

01:01:23It was bottom 40s.

01:01:25So we had to pull a lot out of our tune up

01:01:26just to get down the track.

01:01:27And if you've seen the past, it was pretty sketchy already.

01:01:30So today, being the complete opposite,

01:01:32we're going to be able to put all that power back in the car,

01:01:34and we're going to go a lot faster today down the track.

01:01:37And we're going to make a good A to B pass.

01:01:38We got Clay Cole.

01:01:53I haven't raced him this year yet.

01:01:55He's been doing good.

01:01:56But like I said, we got our hot rod back.

01:01:58And I'm not even worried who's in the next lane.

01:02:00We're going to race our race, our lane,

01:02:02and turn on that wind light.

01:02:21And Rich Bruder takes the wind.

01:02:25Nice job there.

01:02:27Rich Bruder going raced.

01:02:29Yeah.

01:02:32Made a clean pass, straight down.

01:02:34We got that wind on to round three right now.

01:02:37Keep it going.

01:02:38You good, bud?

01:02:39Oh, yeah.

01:02:40I had to lift.

01:02:41Did you?

01:02:41Yeah.

01:02:42It was going that way.

01:02:43I was like, this ain't worth it, bro.

01:02:44Yeah.

01:02:44You know the deal.

01:02:45Oh, yeah.

01:02:46Yeah.

01:02:46Good race, though, bro.

01:02:47You made a good lick.

01:02:48Yeah.

01:02:48You know.

01:02:48Good job.

01:02:49We got some figured out.

01:02:50And hope we go some rounds now.

01:02:52No, good job, man.

01:02:52You guys are killing it.

01:02:53You're killing it this year, buddy.

01:02:56All right, folks, that'll do it for the second round

01:02:58of the Invitational Class.

01:03:02Going into the third round, Ryan has three racers left in,

01:03:05while Dave and Kai only have two.

01:03:07Even though Ryan Martin is out of the race,

01:03:10his teammates are still gaining ground

01:03:12on the two teams in front of him.

01:03:13All right, we're going to go ahead and start

01:03:14our Invitational Drivers meeting for the third round.

01:03:17Let's go ahead and draw chips.

01:03:19Gently.

01:03:20All right, my drivers have their chips.

01:03:25Where are my number ones?

01:03:27Going to be Damon Merchant versus Kayla Morton.

01:03:30Number twos, Giuseppe versus Kai Kelly.

01:03:36How fast did you say it was going?

01:03:37I'm not sure.

01:03:38I don't even know.

01:03:39Number threes, Rich Bruder versus Axeman.

01:03:43Beautiful.

01:03:44Which means the fourth and final pair

01:03:47will be Nate Saylor versus Murder Nova.

01:03:51All right, drivers, you know what you got to do.

01:03:53Go back to your pits, get your cars turned around.

01:03:55Put them in the staging lanes.

01:03:56One of you is going to win $40,000.

01:03:58Let's go.

01:04:01All right, first pair here in the third round.

01:04:03The Invitational Class is going to have Damon Merchant

01:04:05is going up against Kayla and Morton.

01:04:08If we let it lay over against her out back,

01:04:11she'll drive around us.

01:04:15Her quicker than John down low, and it

01:04:18pulls way harder out back.

01:04:20So all right, round three here we drew Kayla.

01:04:22It's hard to come to one of these deals super confident

01:04:25when, you know, she's running really good this weekend.

01:04:28We've been struggling.

01:04:29We've been getting by, but we've been struggling a little bit.

01:04:31But we feel like we do got a hot rod right now.

01:04:33So we're not here for no reason.

01:04:35You know, we're going to go up there and do our thing.

01:04:37We're the first pair down, and hopefully put our ass

01:04:41on the trailer.

01:04:42Didn't get to do it yesterday, so maybe today's the day.

01:04:49Ready, suit up.

01:04:51All right, suit up.

01:04:53Good luck.

01:04:55See you down there.

01:04:57All right, let's come up next.

01:04:59Come and carry around.

01:04:59All right, let's go back.

01:05:21Come on, Kayla.

01:05:29All right, first pair here in the third round.

01:05:31Okay, let's have Damon Merchant going up against Capo Morton.

01:05:35Damn it.

01:05:36And Damon Merchant will take the win there.

01:05:36You know the out of it.

01:05:37Great drag race between both those cars.

01:05:38Woo!

01:05:39Woo!

01:05:40I said at the very beginning, if we finish in the final eight at every race,

01:05:45consistency, wins, over, just a win here and a win there.

01:05:52I said at the very beginning, if we finish in the final eight at every race, consistency,

01:05:54wins, over, just a win here and a win there.

01:05:55So I can't be mad about that.

01:05:56I'm not pouting over the top eight ever.

01:05:57So we are officially in the badass group of people here.

01:06:02And, um, mama shark is coming for galop, man.

01:06:03Pretty pass.

01:06:04Ugh.

01:06:05Huh?

01:06:06It was rough.

01:06:07It was pretty.

01:06:08I figured you was coming.

01:06:09I was.

01:06:10I was.

01:06:11I figured.

01:06:12All right, next pair coming up, gonna be Giuseppe going up against Kai Kelley.

01:06:14I'm not going to be coming.

01:06:15I'm not going to be coming over just a win here and a win there.

01:06:16I'm not going to be coming over just a win here and a win there.

01:06:17So I can't be mad about that.

01:06:18I'm not pouting over the top eight ever.

01:06:19So we are officially in the badass group of people here.

01:06:22And, um, mama shark is coming for galop, man.

01:06:25Pretty pass.

01:06:26Ugh.

01:06:27Huh?

01:06:28It was rough.

01:06:29It was pretty.

01:06:30I figured you was coming.

01:06:31I was.

01:06:32I figured.

01:06:33All right, next pair coming up, gonna be Giuseppe going up against Kai Kelley.

01:06:40We drew Kai Kelley.

01:06:41We drew Kai Kelley.

01:06:42We drew Kai Kelley.

01:06:43We drew Kai Kelley.

01:06:44We drew Kai Kelley.

01:06:45He's been struggling the last couple of weeks, but he's going around, so he's probably

01:06:48got it back figured out.

01:06:49We're just not going to take Giuseppe lightly.

01:06:50We're going to go out there and go as fast as we think we can go on this racetrack.

01:06:53There's $200,000 on the line.

01:06:55We've got to keep clicking that 10 points towards our pot.

01:06:59We drew Kai Kelley.

01:07:09We drew Kai Kelley.

01:07:10We haven't been able to beat him this year.

01:07:11I'm feeling pretty good, though.

01:07:12The car is running really good.

01:07:13I feel like we're back to where we used to be.

01:07:15The car's making great runs again, so I'm feeling like we're going to go rounds, and

01:07:18we've got a chance to win this this weekend.

01:07:20So we got past Giuseppe round three.

01:07:34So we got past Giuseppe in round three.

01:07:48It was a good side-by-side race.

01:07:51Got about a fender on him, I think.

01:07:53You got me on the tree, I think.

01:07:55I feel like you pulled in front of me in the middle.

01:07:57In the middle, I think I did.

01:07:59You got me a little early, I think, in the middle.

01:08:01It was a good .

01:08:02There, man, you're going so fast you blew the wind out.

01:08:05We're going to have to watch out for you again.

01:08:06I know, I know.

01:08:07Good race, man.

01:08:08Me too, boy.

01:08:09Coming at you right here, that's going to be Rich Fruder

01:08:12going up against Axeman.

01:08:16So he agreed we raced straight up.

01:08:19I hope so after the last pass.

01:08:20You trust him?

01:08:21After the last pass you did, I hope we're straight up.

01:08:23I mean, if we ain't going to race straight up,

01:08:24I don't mind not racing straight up.

01:08:25We can do it.

01:08:26If you jump, something up.

01:08:27He played a game with me last week,

01:08:29I'll play it again this week, but if you want straight up,

01:08:31we got straight up.

01:08:32I'm fine.

01:08:33Round three, I drew Rich Bruder driving the Jackal.

01:08:36He jumped on me last weekend.

01:08:38I just showed him I can do it too.

01:08:40I'm going to tell you, bring some paramedics if he jump.

01:08:44So I went over, I told him, I said, I'll race you straight up.

01:08:47I said, you jumped last week, you know why I do it.

01:08:49I said, if you don't play games, I'm good with it.

01:08:51But if you don't race straight up, we'll shake on it.

01:08:53Is he going to guess on him?

01:08:54Yes, he's right here.

01:08:55What?

01:08:56Is he going to guess on him?

01:08:57I wouldn't.

01:08:58I'll see.

01:09:00And Rich Bruder.

01:09:02Wow.

01:09:03Well, that's fast.

01:09:04Hey.

01:09:05That's fast.

01:09:06Damn, where did that come from?

01:09:07Hey, at the big end, it's like, oh.

01:09:09Yeah.

01:09:10Good race, liar.

01:09:11Damn, it cut off on me.

01:09:12Did it?

01:09:13Yeah.

01:09:14Yeah.

01:09:15Our front end.

01:09:17All right.

01:09:17They did.

01:09:18We have our hot rod back, and we could go rounds.

01:09:20And it's showing.

01:09:21Good job, bro.

01:09:22Oh yeah, but it's always fun racing.

01:09:27Oh man.

01:09:28All right, folks.

01:09:29Last pair here in the third round.

01:09:30That's my bull pergunt.

01:09:31It's his northern air.

01:09:32I'm worst for you.

01:09:33You boys and all night.

01:09:34We've been streaming here.

01:09:35Ven.

01:09:36Hey, I am good.

01:09:37And you're fast.

01:09:38Nah, you do.

01:09:39Theравств.

01:09:40Do it.

01:09:41And Rich Bruder.

01:09:42Wow.

01:09:44Boy, that ass is fast.

01:09:45That is going to be Nate Saylor going up against Murder Nova.

01:09:49It does not change.

01:09:52I guarantee it doesn't.

01:09:54I got data that shows how high it is.

01:09:56It's about eight inches off the ground.

01:09:58It's about eight inches off the ground.

01:10:00The beam's only seven.

01:10:03The beam's between five and seven.

01:10:05Seven tops.

01:10:06I think you're crazy.

01:10:08I don't think it does anything anyways.

01:10:10Okay.

01:10:11I'll get it fixed before the next one.

01:10:12I think it does.

01:10:13And I would have it on him.

01:10:15We draw Nate Saylor who is at the top of his game right now.

01:10:18He's killing it.

01:10:19His car's really fast.

01:10:21And right now he's in the top three out here.

01:10:30We've outran him before.

01:10:32He's outran us before.

01:10:33So it can go either way.

01:10:34It just matters on who gets more aggressive with their tune-up.

01:10:37If the track holds it,

01:10:39I'm not real sure he can get more aggressive than what we're going to.

01:10:43And Nate Saylor will get the win.

01:10:45Murder Nova has problems over there in that right lane.

01:10:48I wonder what happened.

01:10:49He's out of the gasp way early in the past.

01:10:50So Nate Saylor will move on to the semi-finals.

01:10:53I told the tuner I was out of the gasp way early in the past.

01:10:54So Nate Saylor will move on to the semi-finals.

01:10:55I told the tuner I was out of the gasp way early in the past.

01:11:00I was out of the gasp way early in the past.

01:11:01I said how.

01:11:02I thought he's out of the gasp way early in the past.

01:11:03I knew he was out of the gasp way early in the past.

01:11:05So Nate Saylor will move on to the semi-finals.

01:11:07I told the tuner, I was like, if you're ever going to put a tune-up in it that's gambling,

01:11:12now is it because we're going to need it.

01:11:13out of the gas way early in the past so nate sailor will move on to the semi-finals

01:11:22i told the tuner i was like if you're ever gonna put a tune up in it that's gambling now is it

01:11:26because we're gonna need it and uh i think it carried the tires so damn far i couldn't

01:11:30steer the car so when the tires came down had to bring her back to the groove so

01:11:34he put a tune up in it i wanted to win and we won and now we're going to the next round we got two

01:11:39brian martin cars in the next round so we're collecting those team points

01:16:36we're going to put a tune-up in the car we know it's going to haul ass he's going to do the same

01:16:43i guarantee it and we're going to see if we can go get some money and some points and get into the final

01:20:02There, but Nate Sailor is your $40,000 winner.

01:20:12I'm on cloud nine, dude.

01:20:14We made some changes on the car to go fast, quicker,

01:20:17let go of the button.

01:20:18He left right with me and it was door to door.

01:20:23And then my car was coming in his lane,

01:20:25his car was gonna hit the wall, but we got the win.

01:20:28Nate Sailor and crew, Michigan.

01:20:32Woo!

01:20:33We got a fast race car.

01:20:34We're on a good team.

01:20:35We're gonna come for that championship.

01:20:37I about ate some wall, buddy.

01:20:38Oh, dude, I about ate you.

01:20:39Yeah, good race, man.

01:20:41You deserve it, for real.

01:20:41Thanks, brother.

01:20:42I told him, I said, if he beats me,

01:20:43I ain't gonna be mad because I beat him several times this year.

01:20:45Three out of three, you beat me.

01:20:47It was a good race, though.

01:20:48Believe it or not, I feel pretty good

01:20:50coming out of the final race.

01:20:50I did get my ass kicked, but I beat on Nate Sailor all year.

01:20:54It was due.

01:20:55He beat me today, but what we did do is me and Damon

01:20:57went to the semis with him.

01:20:58We made sure they didn't make up any ground on us

01:21:00in the championship, and that's what it's all about right now.

01:21:02We're racing for $200,000.

01:21:04I'm going home, I'm safe, my car don't have no scratches on it,

01:21:07and Nate Sailor got a win.

01:21:09All right, Nate Sailor, it is payday, sir.

01:21:12Look, you battled all weekend and steamrolled

01:21:17through the Invitational Class two in one season.

01:21:20Nate Sailor, congratulations, man.

01:21:23What are you thinking?

01:21:25Man, I'm just, I can't tell you how excited we are.

01:21:27We're on a new team.

01:21:29Team Ryan Martin Proud right there already paying off.

01:21:33We made a big move for our team.

01:21:35You know, Nate's car is really fast.

01:21:37He's won two events now.

01:21:38Me picking him up paid off dramatically for me.

01:21:41He won the race.

01:21:42He took our team to 110 off first place.

01:21:45And while that might seem like a lot,

01:21:47with the points and a half and the points and a half

01:21:49and the double points, it's very achievable.

01:21:51Whoo!

01:21:52Whoa!

01:21:53Look at that, Nate Sailor, man.

01:21:55Hey, congratulations, sir.

01:21:57$40,000, Nate Sailor.

01:22:00Big surprise, folks.

01:22:00Whoo!

01:22:01Whoo!

01:22:02Nate Sailor has won his second Invitational of the season.

01:22:07You got to ask yourself, where did this guy come from,

01:22:10and how did the other teams miss him?

01:22:13With that being said, Ryan Martin has

01:22:15to be pleased with himself, his team, and his decisions,

01:22:18as he is now within 10 points of Team Dave.

01:22:21He's got to be feeling pretty good about himself.

01:22:24There's only three events left, and at this point,

01:22:26it is anyone's championship.

01:22:29Next week.

01:22:30All right, Galant, London Sports Park,

01:22:32how y'all doing today?

01:22:33I think we got the most solid team there is here,

01:22:36as long as we can keep things together.

01:22:38You got Ryan with a lot of momentum.

01:22:43Kai's team might be holding the lead in points.

01:22:46Kai's been running away with this deal.

01:22:47We need to go get him, and this is our chance

01:22:49to make a big move.

01:22:55But the fight for the championship is far from being over.

01:22:58Bodie, you still have a couple guys on your team

01:23:00you have not sold.

01:23:01Points and a half, and then the double.

01:23:02We got three races to either catch up or forget it.

01:23:04And at this point right now, we're getting left behind.

01:23:06Some of the teams are out of reach of this championship.

01:23:08We are not.

01:23:09So we're going to do whatever we can

01:23:11to get Scott Taylor on our team.

01:23:12Oh, my god.

01:23:13Is it going to happen?
