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

00:00:02Kai 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 Kai 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 and close the gap.

00:00:20And boy, did they.

00:00:23The biggest win went to Ryan Martin, who won his first invitational race of the season.

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

00:00:39Just 140 points out of first.

00:00:41But with four events left, it's still anyone's championship.

00:00:48Here we go.

00:00:58Michigan.

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

00:01:05Little damp.

00:01:06Little damp.

00:01:07Yeah.

00:01:08Hey, look.

00:01:09We're going to be dodging this stuff all day long, y'all.

00:01:11But look, I will tell you one thing.

00:01:13We're going to try our best to get this track dry.

00:01:16If a little shower comes through, we'll turn around and try to get it dry the moment it stops raining.

00:01:20But now we're going to go ahead and try to get started, get some racing in, and try to beat this weather.

00:01:28We are here today at US 131 in Michigan.

00:01:31This is the first time for us at this track.

00:01:33With 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.

00:01:44When it rains, they have to come back, wait for the track to dry.

00:01:47All that data they got is now gone.

00:01:50It's useless.

00:01:51We'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.

00:02:02Yeah, Ryan Martin, winner of last week's event, got his first invitational win of the season.

00:02:09Comeback starts now.

00:02:11That's right.

00:02:12That's right.

00:02:13Right now.

00:02:14Coming into this race, Kai Kelly is still sitting number one in points, but for the last three weeks, they have struggled.

00:02:21And 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.

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

00:02:37Yep.

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

00:02:40You know?

00:02:41And then after that, it goes, you know?

00:02:42Yep.

00:02:42You know?

00:02:43And so they're talking about getting rid of their number one and number two picks to hire up teams for money.

00:02:51Politicking, politicking.

00:02:53Politicking.

00:02:54We made some decisions to make some trades due to the performance of our team.

00:02:58Our team has been on a spiral going down.

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

00:03:06These guys deserve an opportunity to win a championship, but 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, and I gave them an opportunity to pick the team they wanted to go to.

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

00:03:21Buddy called me and said that he realizes that his team ain't got a shot at the championship, and he wanted to sell us Damon Merchant.

00:03:30What's the bid?

00:03:31We bidding it or what?

00:03:32What's the bid?

00:03:32$10,000 in ranking.

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

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

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

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

00:03:43It's business.

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

00:03:45Pretty much halfway through this season already, I was already talking to Bodie about possibly trying to get Damon Merchant.

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

00:03:54He named a price.

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

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

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

00:04:01I don't know if they're true, but I heard Ryan may or may not have bought Nate Sailor, which is a weapon right now.

00:04:13Hey, you buying anybody?

00:04:15I might.

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

00:04:17I might buy somebody today.

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

00:04:18I might buy somebody today.

00:04:20You can just buy people.

00:04:21This 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.

00:04:29That being said, I've got to make smart moves for my team to try to strategically get out of this championship.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:04:45Yeah, you know, man.

00:04:49You know how the go.

00:04:50Everybody got knives.

00:04:53Shot, shot, shot, shot.

00:04:55Yeah.

00:04:56So 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.

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

00:05:10Damon, we went back and forth, back and forth, and I thought all was good.

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

00:05:26Coming up, you look at the coming up races, Gallaud, Lizzie's going to run good there.

00:05:31Kyle's going to run a test there a lot.

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

00:05:34Still Alabama's going to be a good race for Ryan.

00:05:37Texas is where it's like, it's any man's game at Texas, I think.

00:05:42Was 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 of the water.

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

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

00:05:59I'm not upset.

00:06:00Are you okay?

00:06:01Are you upset?

00:06:02No.

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

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

00:06:05I don't know.

00:06:05Should I be upset?

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

00:06:08Why?

00:06:09You should.

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

00:06:12Nope.

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

00:06:16Uh-uh.

00:06:17Uh-uh.

00:06:17I'm good.

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

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

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

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

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

00:06:32Yes.

00:06:33Dean.

00:06:33Yeah, no change.

00:06:34Really?

00:06:34No change.

00:06:35Okay, I like it.

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

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

00:06:38Murillo.

00:06:38Yes.

00:06:39Any changes?

00:06:40Man, you know what?

00:06:41We're doing so good right now, I'd hate to mess it up.

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

00:06:48So no changes.

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

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

00:06:50Status quo.

00:06:50Yes, sir.

00:06:51Swanstrom.

00:06:52Changes.

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

00:06:57Oh.

00:06:58It's all right.

00:06:58What happened?

00:06:59I don't know.

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

00:07:03Got it.

00:07:04Uh, Bodie.

00:07:06I tell you what, we're going to make a lot of changes over here today.

00:07:09First.

00:07:10What?

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

00:07:15Like it.

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

00:07:20Okay.

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

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

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

00:07:30Uh, you were talking about negotiating.

00:07:32Uh, I got Damon.

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

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

00:07:42Ooh.

00:07:44Say no more.

00:07:45$10,000.

00:07:46Wait a minute.

00:07:47Time out.

00:07:48Wait a time out.

00:07:49$10,000.

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

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

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

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

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

00:08:02And Damon is.

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

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

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

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

00:08:14And $10,000.

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

00:08:16I'm the great GM because everybody had the opportunity to pick these guys and they didn't.

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

00:08:20So I GMed these guys and I got them here and they showed me that they was worth every dime of it.

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

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

00:08:27We're not done.

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

00:08:28You got more trades.

00:08:29Wow.

00:08:29Okay.

00:08:30What else you got?

00:08:31The next trade we got.

00:08:32Blockbuster trade.

00:08:33It's Nate Saylor.

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

00:08:36Yeah.

00:08:39For who?

00:08:40For Jerry, unfortunately.

00:08:42The Bird Boys.

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

00:08:46You can't.

00:08:47And you know, I wasn't going to do this, but then I heard Kai was going to do it.

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

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

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

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

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

00:09:04Bodhi put up Nate Saylor.

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:09:21Or is it in cash?

00:09:21Or what's going on with that?

00:09:22You 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 happy 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.

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

00:09:38Set me back.

00:09:40All right.

00:09:41Is that it?

00:09:41Yes, sir.

00:09:42All right.

00:09:43Murder Nova.

00:09:44Yes.

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

00:09:48It looks like I'm sticking with my guys.

00:09:51Yeah.

00:09:53Okay.

00:09:53All right, guys.

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

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

00:09:57All right.

00:09:57Let's do it.

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

00:09:58Good deal.

00:09:59All right.

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

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

00:10:12Moving up, huh?

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

00:10:15That's right.

00:10:16Oh.

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

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

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

00:10:34I don't mind it.

00:10:35It helps y'all.

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

00:10:38Yeah.

00:10:39You know, I 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 what a snake.

00:10:49We still had a chance.

00:10:51We wasn't out.

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

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

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

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

00:10:56We wasn't out.

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

00:11:01That's it.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:11:17That's chicken.

00:11:17All right.

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

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

00:11:34This is the class where 32 drivers battle it out for $40,000.

00:11:40It seems like those trades really opened the floodgates for other team captains to try to make some moves.

00:11:46I said no.

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

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

00:11:49He don't like you.

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

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

00:11:54He can't either.

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

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

00:11:58You had Sean trying to get Mike Murillo to trade Scott Taylor for $5,000.

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

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

00:12:10Yeah.

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

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

00:12:13$10,000.

00:12:14$10,000.

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

00:12:16Hell no.

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

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

00:12:20Are you talking about Ryan?

00:12:22Oh, wow.

00:12:23Damn.

00:12:25Oh, wow.

00:12:26Damn.

00:12:27Hey.

00:12:30Wow.

00:12:31We just recovered.

00:12:32I love you, man.

00:12:33All right.

00:12:34Well, look, Sean.

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

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

00:12:38Sorry.

00:12:38And now, after all the successful and unsuccessful trading, plus our race your way in, the 32-car field is set.

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

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

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

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

00:13:07All right.

00:13:07If anyone asks me, I think you're worth $10,000.

00:13:17Thank you, bud.

00:13:18You're welcome.

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

00:13:19No, I hear it.

00:13:20In 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.

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

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

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

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

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

00:13:57And for Ryan Martin, who's trying to get to the top, he needs all of his strongest racers to stay in as long as possible.

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

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

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

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

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

00:14:21I do, too.

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

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

00:14:26All right, folks.

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

00:14:32You got 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, getting cold out.

00:14:44Go up there for Invitational chip draw.

00:14:46We draw Jim Howe.

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

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

00:14:51Went up there.

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

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

00:14:56Dynoed the car a little bit.

00:14:57Got it back where it should be.

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

00:15:10Damn, somebody's on some sticker tires.

00:15:13Holy...

00:15:14So we're here in basically my hometown.

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

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

00:15:21It'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.

00:15:32It'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 winters all year.

00:15:38And Rich Bruder takes the win.

00:16:02Rich Bruder moving on to the next round of the Invitational Class.

00:16:08All right, next pair coming at you right now.

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

00:16:13We are getting ready for today,

00:16:29and Dave and Kai kind of went at Damon,

00:16:31and he chose to go with Kai,

00:16:33so we just need to use that as drive

00:16:36and, you know, a fire lit under our ass to do better.

00:16:39If you don't want to be on our team,

00:16:40then we're going to show you that you made a mistake.

00:16:42We're going to show you that you made a mistake.

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

00:17:01Brandon James getting all kinds of sideways

00:17:04over there in the left lane.

00:17:08Woo!

00:17:08The right lane was a little more sketch.

00:17:10Up top, man, it was a little shaky.

00:17:13It was all over the place,

00:17:13but 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.

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

00:17:28Did you really?

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

00:17:33Yeah, it is.

00:17:34Good job.

00:17:35Thanks, Brandon.

00:17:35Good luck, Ma.

00:17:35Appreciate you.

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

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

00:17:48So I went up and drew Chip today

00:17:50for round one of the Invitational.

00:17:51I drew Scott Taylor.

00:17:53I've not raced Scott yet,

00:17:54so it ought to be an interesting race.

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

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

00:18:02It's a little cooler out,

00:18:09so it's definitely going to be tricky,

00:18:11and you're going to have to be on your A-game for sure

00:18:13to get down this track.

00:18:14Hey, hey!

00:18:20What's wrong?

00:18:25It's a train of racing.

00:18:27It ain't clicking.

00:18:30Looks like Scott Taylor having issues out there stuck,

00:18:33not packing up.

00:18:34Jiggle right there.

00:18:36Right here?

00:18:36Yeah.

00:18:37Mike Murillo, team captain,

00:18:38needs to get out there and figure out what's going on

00:18:40with his teammate, Scott Taylor.

00:18:43Put him on the clock!

00:18:44Are you going to put him on the clock?

00:18:48Yeah!

00:18:48All right, so Clay Cole has put Scott Taylor

00:18:50on a two-minute clock.

00:18:52Oh, my.

00:18:53See it broke anywhere?

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

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

00:18:57Can you shove it back?

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

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

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

00:19:06One minute has surpassed.

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

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

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

00:19:12Maybe it goes red or something.

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

00:19:18that's sorry.

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

00:19:21Got about...

00:19:2310 seconds.

00:19:269, 8, 7...

00:19:29Oh, no, we good.

00:19:306, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

00:19:34He almost got it.

00:19:35He almost got it.

00:19:36That is two minutes.

00:19:38Two minutes.

00:19:40Pass for pass.

00:19:42All right.

00:20:12So Clay Cole will take the win and peddling over there

00:20:16in that right lane.

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

00:20:18Damn.

00:20:19Does 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

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

00:20:34We know that.

00:20:35We established that.

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

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

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

00:20:44What happened, brother?

00:20:45Ah, 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.

00:20:49All good, man.

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

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

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

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

00:20:54It's all good.

00:20:55You good?

00:20:55Yep.

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

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

00:21:02And I thought that maybe, you know, the testing and stuff

00:21:05had paid off.

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

00:21:08That's our specialty.

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

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

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

00:21:17We ain't going to lay down.

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

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

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

00:21:31I'm going to try to get that win and 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.

00:21:43We're not that far behind.

00:21:45No, you're in a good spot for sure.

00:21:47Yeah.

00:21:49You're in a, it's achievable where you're at.

00:21:51Yes, yes, pretty tight.

00:21:55Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:21:56Yeah.

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

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

00:22:01So normally we race 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.

00:22:21David Gates' car has the capabilities of being one of the fastest cars on the property.

00:22:31I know he's been struggling a little bit, but I can't look at it that way.

00:22:36I have to look at it like, how much power is this lane going to take whenever I try to put it down?

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

00:22:43That's the route we're going to take.

00:22:56That's the route we're going to take.

00:22:58That's the route we're going to take.

00:23:00That's the route we're going to take.

00:23:02Now, Murmova takes the win.

00:23:03He'll move on the next round.

00:23:05Good job, panel.

00:23:06Next pair coming at you is going to be V-Rack going up against Chuck55.

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 him to win first round.

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

00:23:24Win first round.

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

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

00:23:43And 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 Saylor.

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

00:24:08to 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,

00:24:28you got traded 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.

00:24:45Now it's crunch time.

00:24:46After this race, then it's points and a half, points and a half,

00:24:49and then double points.

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

00:24:54people are going to go flying by you.

00:24:57I'm just looking for the opportunity

00:24:58to go win a championship.

00:25:14Woo!

00:25:15Let's go, brother!

00:25:16You look close to me.

00:25:17Hey!

00:25:18Oh, .

00:25:20Good lap, Nate.

00:25:21Thanks, brother.

00:25:24Good run.

00:25:25Did you make a clean head or not?

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.

00:25:43Which one?

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

00:25:47We got your belt.

00:25:48Huh?

00:25:49We got your belt.

00:25:51Check it.

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

00:25:54Uh, 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.

00:26:18There's not too many of us out here.

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

00:26:22faster than my big block.

00:26:26What do you think?

00:26:27I don't know.

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

00:26:30All right.

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,

00:26:42because we're going to leave it alone.

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

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.

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

00:27:25Damon won his race.

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

00:27:31His test passes, they sucked.

00:27:33Broke a blower, burn up a spark plug.

00:27:35But he showed up for an invitation in round one.

00:27:38And that's exactly why we paid the money for him,

00:27:40because he's worth it.

00:27:41Woo.

00:27:43Had to do a little driving that time.

00:27:45All right, folks, this next pair, that's

00:27:47going to be Larry Larson going up against Axeman.

00:27:51Larry Larson.

00:27:56Larry?

00:27:56Seven times you beat him.

00:27:58Shoot, 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 Tulsa, Larry,

00:28:06and we're going to step this game up a lot.

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

00:28:12Not going to be easy.

00:28:14Putting my mittens on now.

00:28:16What's that?

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

00:28:19You'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 and 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.

00:28:47The track's really cold right now.

00:28:49Sun's went down.

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

00:28:52But the track conditions are going to start

00:28:54to get a little treacherous down 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.

00:29:13So Axeman moving on to the next round.

00:29:39Woo!

00:29:4010 more!

00:29:41Woo!

00:29:42We rolled in.

00:29:44When that light turned green, I come off that button.

00:29:46I've never seen him again.

00:29:49Like this thing is walking up on the center line.

00:29:50I'm fighting it back, fighting it back.

00:29:52I kept telling myself, I'm not going to let off.

00:29:54My light come on.

00:29:55I said, whew!

00:29:56No, that's another bullet.

00:29:58Man.

00:30:00I'm glad to get past that first round.

00:30:02Next pair, that's going to be Giuseppe going up

00:30:05against Tony McKinnon.

00:30:07So in Maple Grove, we had Nate first round, which is tough.

00:30:10He's fast.

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

00:30:13Yeah, he's been over lately.

00:30:14Yeah.

00:30:14So he got us by a fender.

00:30:17But we made a good run.

00:30:18Yeah.

00:30:19The car's fast.

00:30:19We made some changes.

00:30:20We changed the combination up.

00:30:21Yeah.

00:30:21So 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.

00:30:25Going in, we got the chip draw, and we drew Tony McKinney

00:30:28for 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.

00:30:35But we're about to find out here in a little bit.

00:30:44The 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

00:30:53this next run here.

00:30:54Just set it.

00:31:20With the wind, that car was out of here.

00:31:25It was fast, fast.

00:31:27Right through the stripe.

00:31:28Didn't see Tony McKinney that whole run.

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

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

00:31:33Yeah.

00:31:33I knew I had to.

00:31:34I know how fast you are.

00:31:35No, yeah.

00:31:35I'm flying, so.

00:31:36Yeah, that was a good run probably right there.

00:31:38Yeah.

00:31:39Yeah, wheels up.

00:31:39It was moving around a little bit, but.

00:31:41Was it?

00:31:42Yeah.

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

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

00:31:47And 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.

00:31:54All right, buddy.

00:31:54Congratulations.

00:31:55All right, man.

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.

00:32:22That's what it means.

00:32:23We're broke.

00:32:30Hydro, none other than Mike Murillo.

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

00:32:36Like, 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.

00:32:59Yeah!

00:32:59All right, so Callie Mills pulls and shoots,

00:33:01hits it back straight.

00:33:02Nice job.

00:33:06I got out there, got loose on the 2-3 shift.

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

00:33:11I needed to have the shootout a little bit sooner,

00:33:13because it was .

00:33:15And that was not good.

00:33:16So just had it too hopped up.

00:33:18Next pair coming at you right now,

00:33:20Kai Kelly going up against Lizzie Musi.

00:33:25You know, I know you're sick, so there's nothing

00:33:26you can do about it.

00:33:28I honestly, like, standing, like,

00:33:29I feel like I could throw up any minute.

00:33:32That's how I feel like.

00:33:33Really?

00:33:35I'm not feeling the greatest this weekend.

00:33:37I'm trying the best I can.

00:33:38So I'm pushing through it.

00:33:39And guess what?

00:33:41I 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

00:33:48for 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.

00:33:57I don't like racing my own team.

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

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

00:34:02And I don't like the feeling.

00:34:03And I'd rather her just draw somebody else,

00:34:06because her car is fast.

00:34:08And we've got to run the hell out of my car

00:34:09to 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

00:34:14when we draw each other.

00:34:15We've 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

00:34:35today if we want to get out of first round.

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

00:34:45Next pair coming at you right now.

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

00:35:15Kai Kelly gets the redemption there.

00:35:23Takes the win.

00:35:24Lots of smoke down there in Lizzie's lane.

00:35:26At the very end of the track.

00:35:28I couldn't imagine having more than one motor.

00:35:31Where you're cool with just burning it down.

00:35:33Every lap.

00:35:34What the ?

00:35:35Yeah, yeah.

00:35:36I don't get it.

00:35:38They said he was up against the wall.

00:35:40Was you?

00:35:41I don't think so.

00:35:42No, I can't.

00:35:44What a good thing about it.

00:35:46It ate itself up before the finish line,

00:35:48but you had me anyway.

00:35:49Good job.

00:35:50At least we're one and one for the day.

00:35:52Oh, what a shit.

00:35:54If they ain't blowing the motor up,

00:35:55they ain't trying to win,

00:35:56and that's exactly what I want my team to do when they draw me.

00:35:58I want them to win,

00:35:59because I want the fastest car to go to the next round,

00:36:01because at the end of the day,

00:36:02that gets us more points.

00:36:04I'm still proud of you, though.

00:36:05You're my hero.

00:36:06Why?

00:36:07You're fighting once you're fighting.

00:36:08Just stop.

00:36:09It's hard on me this weekend, so...

00:36:12I love you.

00:36:15Always.

00:36:16Okay.

00:36:17Good job.

00:36:18Sorry, I don't.

00:36:20Go kick ass, okay?

00:36:22Okay.

00:36:25Robin Roberts going up against his team captain, Brian Martin.

00:36:33Here we are now.

00:36:34It's nighttime.

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

00:36:38The track surface is good for about 100 foot,

00:36:40but after that, it's not great.

00:36:41You know, I'm trying to make this deal a comeback, right?

00:36:43So we won the last race.

00:36:45We're trying to do well,

00:36:46and all the guys have all talked like,

00:36:48hey, we just need a couple of good draws.

00:36:50And here I am today, and I drew Robin Roberts again.

00:36:53Good luck, man.

00:36:54Be safe, man.

00:36:55Good luck.

00:36:56Good luck, Brian.

00:36:57Good luck.

00:37:00Good luck, homie.

00:37:01You too, man.

00:37:02Be safe.

00:37:03He has one of the fastest cars here.

00:37:05Very similar combination to mine.

00:37:07I 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.

00:37:15One, he's my buddy.

00:37:17Two, like, he's my team captain.

00:37:25But we got Ryan.

00:37:26We're gonna have to make it work.

00:37:28Hey, that didn't even really look close, did it?

00:37:48Rolling 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.

00:37:52The build left at the same time, and he just flat out run us in the middle of the track.

00:37:56He just pulled a fender on me.

00:37:57You know, I hate to lose, and it sucks.

00:37:59But the team, four out of five, are moving on to the next round.

00:38:02Keep gaining points for Team Ryan Martin.

00:38:03You know what?

00:38:04I've drawn my teammate four times in a row.

00:38:05Started with him.

00:38:06Then I drew Giuseppe.

00:38:07Then I drew Bird Boys, and I drew him again.

00:38:08What about drawing Lizzie twice in one day?

00:38:09Yeah, no .

00:38:10A great eight in there.

00:38:11Good job.

00:38:12And then I .

00:38:13Then I .

00:38:14Then I drew .

00:38:15Then I drew .

00:38:16And I drew him again.

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

00:38:18Yeah, no .

00:38:19A great eight in there.

00:38:20Good job.

00:38:21And then I hugged her and started crying.

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

00:38:24You did?

00:38:25Yeah.

00:38:26This pair here has got Paige Coughlin going up against her teammate

00:38:31and team captain, Daddy Dave.

00:38:36The 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.

00:38:40Yeah, it will.

00:38:41You'll be nice.

00:38:43Tonight was a nice, smooth run, and pretty similar.

00:38:47All righty.

00:38:48Oh .

00:38:49We're here at US 131 Dragway.

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

00:38:53You know, we were able to make a test pass.

00:38:55We're going up for first round.

00:38:56We've been battling, like, the cold weather, the rain, sunshine, clouds.

00:39:00But finally, we're able to hit the track, and we're ready to rock and roll.

00:39:03We went up for chip draw, and we drew Daddy Dave.

00:39:06But you know what?

00:39:07Positive outlook on this.

00:39:08One of us from Team Daddy Dave is going to be guaranteed a spot in round two.

00:39:17We drew our own teammate again, Paige Coughlin.

00:39:29We raced her a few weeks ago at another event.

00:39:31This time, I hope it's a little closer race, because she got this new motor in there.

00:39:34We'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.

00:40:10Looked like Paige Coughlin was out in front, pulled the chutes a little early.

00:40:14Oh, my God.

00:40:15I'm so scared.

00:40:17Why?

00:40:18What happened?

00:40:19Oh, I was going everywhere but straight for a minute.

00:40:21And I'm like, oh, no, no, no.

00:40:23Hey, good job.

00:40:24Oh, my God.

00:40:25So scary.

00:40:26Knocked my head up at the tree.

00:40:27I go, where is she going?

00:40:28You know what?

00:40:29That is.

00:40:30Yeah, it was .

00:40:31I got to keep you in line, at least on the top part, you know?

00:40:35That's the second time I've left before you.

00:40:37Yeah.

00:40:38All right, next pair coming after we got John Odoms.

00:40:41They go up against Bobby.

00:40:42Bobby.

00:40:43Jacote him.

00:40:55We'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 to pad his own pockets to hell with everybody else.

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

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

00:41:09But he put all that money in his pocket to hell with the rest of the team.

00:41:13Whatever.

00:41:14It is what it is.

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

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

00:41:19I don't really care.

00:41:20I'd rather be anywhere than with a snake like that.

00:41:22And John Odom will take the win there.

00:41:23Yeah, John, we got the win.

00:41:24At least that one's moving on.

00:41:25I was pulling back to you.

00:41:26Bobby, I saw you the whole time, dude.

00:41:27The whole time, brother.

00:41:28Were you like, there was a point.

00:41:54Did you see me the whole time?

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

00:41:57Yeah, the whole time.

00:42:00Battle of the turbo cars coming at you right now.

00:42:03Got Chris Rankin over in the left lane in the conquest.

00:42:06Going up against Chuck Seitzinger in the right lane.

00:42:16We drew Chuck, and him and I are usually door to door,

00:42:19so it could be anybody's race.

00:42:21Him and I are both high strong as hell,

00:42:22so hopefully we can both have a good drag race

00:42:25and I come out on top, and I go in round two.

00:42:28So that's it.

00:42:30Chris 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

00:42:44in three or four weeks, so I need to go to the semifinals.

00:42:47So when I go to 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 going to do the best I can.

00:43:16All 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

00:43:26against Justin Swanstrom.

00:43:28All right, let's go.

00:43:44It's being so cold here.

00:43:45It's pretty rough.

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

00:43:48I know the tracks are going to be very tricky

00:43:50for everybody today, too,

00:43:52but everybody's got to go down to the same surface.

00:44:08All right, folks, we got Jimmy Taylor going up

00:44:10against Justin Swanstrom.

00:44:12And Jimmy Taylor will take the win.

00:44:29And Justin Swanstrom having the pedal

00:44:30over 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

00:44:42in his program.

00:44:43Look, he came off his first invitational win last week.

00:44:46Now, he's picked up Nate Saylor,

00:44:48and 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

00:44:56that they are worth the investment that was made.

00:44:59All right, folks, gonna have my drivers draw chips.

00:45:02All righty, where are my number ones?

00:45:14Kelly Mills versus Caleb Morton, Chuck 55, and Giuseppe.

00:45:20Yes, Giuseppe, that is a two.

00:45:22Oh, Axeman versus Ryan Martin.

00:45:27Oh, wow.

00:45:29Daddy Dave versus Murder Nova.

00:45:33Chris Rankin versus Nate Saylor.

00:45:37It's gonna be John Odom versus Damon Merchant.

00:45:40Jimmy Taylor and Kai Kelly.

00:45:44Ooh.

00:45:46All right, so my eighth and final pair

00:45:49will be Rich Bruder versus Clay Cole.

00:45:54All right, drivers, well, y'all got some time to think about

00:45:56what you got to do to your cars,

00:45:57because this round will be run tomorrow.

00:46:00We appreciate you coming.

00:46:01See you tomorrow.

00:46:04Unfortunately, the rain yesterday set us back late enough

00:46:07that we were only able to get the first round of racing in.

00:46:10That means we will have to be spending one more day here in Michigan

00:46:14to finish up the rounds and determine who will be walking away

00:46:17with the $40,000 Invitational Prize Month.

00:46:20How are you? What's up?

00:46:21How's everybody doing today? Good.

00:46:23Good.

00:46:30All right, folks, gonna go ahead and get started on racing.

00:46:32For those that were here last night,

00:46:33you know that we made it through our first round

00:46:37of the Invitational Class.

00:46:39We're gonna finish it up today on a beautiful Sunday

00:46:42here in Michigan.

00:46:45First pair here in this second round,

00:46:47the Invitational Class got Callie Mills

00:46:48going up against Caleb Horton.

00:46:51You ready? Yeah, I think so.

00:46:52Last night, so we changed the cam, you know,

00:46:56to make more horsepower out in the back.

00:46:58And so they didn't have the drive shaft curve close enough to it

00:47:01because they were trying to see what it would do

00:47:03since we had the fly against Mike.

00:47:05And, oh, it went out there, and it was like, ah!

00:47:07I was like...

00:47:07You did a hell of a job last night driving it.

00:47:09I'm like, so I just hope we can make it down.

00:47:11And if I can do my job on the tree, I think we'll be okay.

00:47:14Today's a new day.

00:47:15Second round of Invitational.

00:47:17We drew Kayla Morton.

00:47:18I'm gonna have my work cut out for me

00:47:20because my car has not been happy.

00:47:23But last night, we made a good pass to, like, the 3.30,

00:47:26and then when it shifted into high gear,

00:47:27it just got sideways and did not go well.

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

00:47:38because I think I'm gonna have to have a really good light.

00:47:43Perfect.

00:47:45Nailed it.

00:47:45Started off the day good, guys.

00:47:48Callie is not one to take lightly.

00:47:50She's getting better and better, faster and faster each race.

00:47:53She's been to a semifinal this year.

00:47:55We are first pair, so that is another factor

00:47:58to kind of take into account.

00:48:13But we have momentum.

00:48:14We've made pass after pass and just looking to get six round wins here in a row,

00:48:18which is super exciting.

00:48:28And Kayla Morton gonna take the win there, Callie Mills.

00:48:45The car makes a hard move out there.

00:48:47We both be driving.

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

00:48:55We just need to figure out, we got a Giuseppe, he's got a good setup, a fast car,

00:49:05but he's been struggling a little bit.

00:49:08I'm gonna try to tear their head off on the light.

00:49:10And if I can leave with them, it gets game over,

00:49:13because I'm telling you, I'll pull them on the big end.

00:49:16We hold things together, I'll make more power on the big end.

00:49:19Just need to make it to the finals.

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

00:49:24We need to get to the finals, baby.

00:49:25All right, let me know.

00:49:26All right, you guys good over there?

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

00:49:28Right now, I just put a bunch of fuel, the air fuel ratio that the car would normally run at,

00:49:32which has just changed.

00:49:34The weather, whatever, don't know, but now it needs a lot more fuel in the car,

00:49:38so we put more fuel in it.

00:49:39Chuck 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,

00:49:45try to go as fast as we can with the track we'll take.

00:49:47And 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.

00:50:06Right now, we got four guys in.

00:50:08We got the most guys still going rounds right now.

00:50:10We're the only ones who have four in.

00:50:12So we're gonna try to close that gap this weekend.

00:50:14Hopefully, we can get two of our guys in the finals,

00:50:16and I'm hoping for all four of our guys for the semi-finals left,

00:50:20and then two of our guys in the finals to get max points out of this weekend

00:50:22and close that gap against Kai there.

00:50:24And Giuseppe, gonna take the win there.

00:50:45Nice pass from him.

00:50:46It was loose out there, Chuck. What happened?

00:50:48Man, I did what I didn't want to do.

00:50:50Shook?

00:50:51No, we took power out of it on the hit, not knowing what to take.

00:50:55Yeah.

00:50:56Plus, you left on me.

00:50:57Oh, yeah.

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

00:50:59Yeah, yeah.

00:51:00But, man, I mean, when I felt the power ramp in, I started reeling you up.

00:51:04Yeah.

00:51:05It's too late.

00:51:06Too late.

00:51:07All right, folks, this right here is gonna be a good one.

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

00:51:11Better make a straight hit.

00:51:13We'll have something for him.

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

00:51:16No, no.

00:51:17Got a tough competitor, Ryan Martin.

00:51:20The maddest man on the planet as far as I'm concerned.

00:51:23Like, I mean, he's tough.

00:51:24He's got a couple advantages.

00:51:25He's changed his new car over.

00:51:27He went to that new blower.

00:51:28But I'm gonna figure out some way to get around here.

00:51:31I love you.

00:51:32I've got Axman first round.

00:51:34They got a new motor in the car.

00:51:35I expect them to be a handful, so we're not gonna turn this car down.

00:51:39I'm gonna bank on the track holding what I'm gonna put in it.

00:51:42And hopefully it does.

00:51:43My team has done really good.

00:51:56We've got four cars in right now, which is what we hope for.

00:51:59Nobody else has that many in.

00:52:00The trade move that we did, Nate's still in.

00:52:02And it was a smart move.

00:52:03I need all four of my guys to advance to next round,

00:52:06because we didn't draw each other.

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

00:52:09Hey!

00:52:10Super Genze!

00:52:23Super Genze!

00:52:24Hey, the guest, super get it.

00:52:35He can't be mad!

00:52:37He did it last week!

00:52:39I told that .

00:52:40I said, you can't be mad ever again!

00:52:42You did it last week!

00:52:43Because he did it last week!

00:52:45How'd you do it, baby?

00:52:47I'm sorry, but I had to do it!

00:52:50Woo!

00:52:51So, unfortunately, we had a car tuned up

00:52:53in a good car for the weekend,

00:52:54and somebody guessed,

00:52:56and put us on the trailer.

00:52:57We all got the same opportunity,

00:52:58and that's just not the way I raced.

00:53:00He's a guest of .

00:53:02Hey!

00:53:03Hey!

00:53:04Hey, one day you're gonna have a car fast enough

00:53:05you ain't gotta do that.

00:53:06Hey, let me tell you.

00:53:07That blower is 600s faster,

00:53:09and you know it.

00:53:10It's all good.

00:53:11I know you're gonna hit some of those,

00:53:12and some of them you ain't.

00:53:13That one you hit.

00:53:14Good job.

00:53:15Hey, I had to make up 600s, brother.

00:53:16I get it.

00:53:17Axeman ended up guessing on the tree,

00:53:19and as we know,

00:53:20Ryan Martin absolutely hates that.

00:53:22But it just goes to show that these racers

00:53:24will do whatever it takes to get the win.

00:53:27Oh, we...

00:53:28Everybody knew you were gonna do it.

00:53:30Next pair,

00:53:31and that's gonna be Daddy Dave

00:53:32going up against Murder Nova.

00:53:35Sucks, because what do you do here?

00:53:37You know what I mean?

00:53:38Like, you can't turn it down,

00:53:39because you'll get outran.

00:53:41You can't turn it up anymore,

00:53:42because the track ain't gonna take it.

00:53:43You know what I mean?

00:53:44You know what I mean?

00:53:45Don't turn it .

00:53:46Yeah.

00:53:47That's gonna be a drag race for sure.

00:53:49We finally don't suck,

00:53:50so don't turn it down.

00:53:51This is where your tune-ups get tricky.

00:53:53I drew Daddy Dave,

00:53:55and we're the fourth pair.

00:53:56It's not a whole lot of heat in the track.

00:53:58This might be one of those days

00:54:00where a later round

00:54:02probably would have been better.

00:54:03Dave's a tough draw no matter what.

00:54:05Even if you have Dave outgunned,

00:54:07which I truly believe I do,

00:54:09Dave is Dave,

00:54:10and Dave tends to win races.

00:54:22Sean's been hauling ass lately,

00:54:24going rounds,

00:54:25and I couldn't be happier for the guy,

00:54:26but when we pull the start line,

00:54:28the friendship's over right there.

00:54:37Next pair,

00:54:41that's gonna be Daddy Dave,

00:54:42going up against Murder Nova.

00:54:57That was a drag race, folks,

00:54:58but Murder Nova gets there first,

00:55:01turns on the wind light.

00:55:02Nice job.

00:55:05Ride, ride, ride.

00:55:07So we take the light.

00:55:09We left together.

00:55:10He got me a little bit in the middle.

00:55:12I put about half a car on me

00:55:13on the finish line.

00:55:15Side by side.

00:55:16It was.

00:55:17It was a good race, man.

00:55:18This next pair,

00:55:19that's gonna be Chris Rankin,

00:55:21going up against Nate Saylor.

00:55:24Okay, we can go up.

00:55:26Second round,

00:55:27we have Chris Rankin.

00:55:28He can make a stupid fast pass,

00:55:30but it's one here or there.

00:55:32Our car's, like,

00:55:33more consistent, I would think,

00:55:34so as far as the matchup goes,

00:55:36he's gonna have to tree me,

00:55:37and I'm just gonna make it impossible

00:55:38for him to do that.

00:55:49He got traded to Team Bodie,

00:55:51which is where I came from.

00:55:53I love my old team still.

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

00:55:57But now we're Team Ryan,

00:55:58and we're gonna do everything we can

00:56:00to chop their heads off.

00:56:01And I still almost drove around him.

00:56:02He gassed.

00:56:03I knew he knew he had to.

00:56:05He ain't got nothing for this car,

00:56:06let's be honest.

00:56:07Man,

00:56:08I went red, dude.

00:56:09I knew I was gonna take a shout out

00:56:10at him.

00:56:11He's going to go back to him.

00:56:12Yeah, right?

00:56:13And I still almost drove around him.

00:56:22That's it, boys.

00:56:24God.

00:56:27And I still almost drove around him.

00:56:30He guessed.

00:56:31I knew he knew he had to.

00:56:32He ain't got nothing for this car, let's be honest.

00:56:34Man, I went red, dude.

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

00:56:38That's your ass.

00:56:39I'm sorry, man.

00:56:40You ain't sorry, don't lie.

00:56:41You're moving on anyway.

00:56:42Yup.

00:56:43All right, next pair coming up right here.

00:56:45It's gonna be John Odom going up against Damon Merchant.

00:56:48Did you see John make a pass yesterday?

00:56:50No, I didn't.

00:56:51His test pass wasn't very good, but they said he ran pretty good in his first E1 pass.

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

00:56:57He raced Bobby to Cody.

00:56:59We'll talk to Bobby and see how it went.

00:57:01We know how Bobby runs.

00:57:03Bobby's not shy.

00:57:04We got our draw last night in John Odom.

00:57:06I raced that car twice this year, once with Jim driving it, once with John driving it.

00:57:10We've outran them both times, but after the problems that we've been having this weekend,

00:57:15you can't count anybody out.

00:57:16I 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.

00:57:22So, as long as Vinyl hit on all eight cylinders, I'm pretty sure we can outrun that car again.

00:57:27Jim, we throwing in the kick-ass tune?

00:57:30I got David Merchant today.

00:57:33You know him and Jim have had a little drama.

00:57:35Now he's on Kai Kelly's team, as you guys know.

00:57:37Kai Kelly's number one.

00:57:38He is fast.

00:57:39So 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.

00:57:51Jim had a problem with his car.

00:57:52He went right last night, so he's out already.

00:57:55Justin's out.

00:57:56He had a problem with his car.

00:57:57So let's just see if we can go out and get us in the finals, and we'll help Team Swanstrom.

00:58:03Team-wise, I still got three in.

00:58:04We lost David and Lizzie.

00:58:06Ron Martin's got three, just like we got three.

00:58:08If we can just make it to the next round and they all win, we'll be tied up with him.

00:58:12We'll keep points in between us.

00:58:13He can't catch us.

00:58:14And David Merchant gets the win.

00:58:36Great pass here in the left lane for David.

00:58:39Takes the win there.

00:58:40Move on to the next round.

00:58:41Woo!

00:58:42Baby, that's a good race.

00:58:44It was a good one.

00:58:45Oh, I didn't think he was coming with no weak .

00:58:49No, I wasn't.

00:58:50We were right there.

00:58:51I'm super proud of you, man.

00:58:52That was a great race.

00:58:53Good job.

00:58:54Good job.

00:58:55Next pair coming at you right now.

00:58:57We've got Jimmy Taylor going up against Kai Kelly.

00:59:00Hey, man.

00:59:02Welcome to the team today, man.

00:59:04Don't suck.

00:59:05You need some help.

00:59:06I'm available today.

00:59:07Don't forget nothing.

00:59:08All right?

00:59:09Got it.

00:59:10Other than that, I'm going to let go of the button.

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

00:59:15Let go of the button on time.

00:59:17We're back.

00:59:18We're in Michigan.

00:59:19We're starting round two in Invitational.

00:59:20We won last night.

00:59:21We got that monkey off our back.

00:59:22We got Jimmy Taylor.

00:59:23He took out Justin Swanstrom yesterday, so he must be fast.

00:59:26But we're ready for him.

00:59:27Jimmy's also another Pro Charger car.

00:59:32Pro Chargers are hard to beat.

00:59:33Some guys just bouncing data off each other and hooking each other's computers to their cars, and they're all getting faster and faster.

00:59:46Hey, Kai, kill him.

00:59:47Hey, Kai, kill him.

00:59:48.

00:59:49.

00:59:50.

01:00:19We're getting faster and fast there down the track.

01:00:22Woo!

01:00:23We just got through round two, which felt like round one because it was the first race of the day.

01:00:27And our car went really fast.

01:00:29Adam nailed the tune up.

01:00:30I think I did pretty good on the tree.

01:00:32Jimmy Taylor, he pulled on me in the middle a little bit, and then my car shifted into high, just went around it.

01:00:38It was a lot faster than I thought I was about to go.

01:00:42I'm real happy with it, and I think we got a hot rod.

01:00:45I think as long as I do my job, I think they got their hands full today.

01:00:49All right, last pair here in the Invitational class.

01:00:51Rich Bruder gonna go up against Clay Cole.

01:00:54We double-checked all the wiring and the fittings on the front of the car over there?

01:00:57Yes, sir.

01:00:58And the suspension's good up front?

01:01:00Yep, yep.

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

01:01:02I feel good.

01:01:03I feel really good.

01:01:04We got a good driver.

01:01:05Yeah?

01:01:06Yes, sir.

01:01:07I got Rich Bruder.

01:01:08I'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 a little bit faster on the big end.

01:01:14We're gonna go up there, see what we got for Rich Bruder, and hopefully we'll go on with the third round.

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

01:01:20The track temp was really, really down.

01:01:22It was bottom 40s.

01:01:24So we had to pull a lot out of our tune up just to get down the track.

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

01:01:30So today, being the complete opposite, we're gonna be able to put all that power back in the car, and we're gonna go a lot faster today down the track.

01:01:36And we're gonna make a good A to B pass.

01:01:38We got Clay Cole.

01:01:40I haven't raced him this year yet.

01:01:41He's been doing good.

01:01:42But like I said, we got our hot rod back, and I'm not even worried who's in the next lane.

01:01:59We're gonna race our race, our lane, and turn on that wind light.

01:02:06And Rich Bruder takes the win. Nice job there. Rich Bruder going round.

01:02:28We're gonna race.

01:02:30Yeah.

01:02:31Made a clean pass, straight down.

01:02:33We got that win on to round three right now.

01:02:36Keep it going.

01:02:37You good, bud?

01:02:38Oh, yeah.

01:02:39I had to lift.

01:02:40Did 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.

01:02:45You know the deal.

01:02:46Oh, yeah.

01:02:47Yeah.

01:02:48Good race, though, bro.

01:02:49You made a good lick.

01:02:50Yeah.

01:02:51You know.

01:02:52Good job.

01:02:53You can do it this year, buddy.

01:02:55All right, folks.

01:02:56That'll do it for the second round of the Invitational Class.

01:03:01Going into the third round, Ryan has three racers left in, while Dave and Kai only have two.

01:03:07Even though Ryan Martin is out of the race, his teammates are still gaining ground on the two teams in front of him.

01:03:13All right, we're gonna go ahead and start our Invitational Drivers meeting for the third round.

01:03:16Let's go ahead and draw chips.

01:03:18Gently.

01:03:19Gently.

01:03:20God bless.

01:03:22All right, my drivers have their chips.

01:03:25Where are my number ones?

01:03:27Gonna be Damon Merchant versus Kayla Morton.

01:03:30Number twos.

01:03:31Giuseppe versus Kai Kelly.

01:03:35How fast did you say it was going?

01:03:36I'm not sure.

01:03:37I don't even know.

01:03:38Number threes.

01:03:40Rich Bruder versus Axman.

01:03:43Which means the fourth and final pair will be Nate Saylor versus Murder Nova.

01:03:50All right, drivers.

01:03:51You know what you gotta do.

01:03:52Go back to the pits.

01:03:53Get your cars turned around.

01:03:54Put them in the staging lanes.

01:03:55One of you is gonna win $40,000.

01:03:57Let's go.

01:03:58All right, first pair here in the third round.

01:04:03The Invitational Class gonna have Damon Merchant going up against Kayla Morton.

01:04:07If we let it lay over against her out back, she'll drive around us.

01:04:14Her quicker than John down low, and it pulls way harder out back, so.

01:04:20All right, round three here with Drew Kayla.

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

01:04:30But, we feel like we do got a hot rod right now, so we're not here for no reason.

01:04:34You know, we're gonna go up there and do our thing.

01:04:36We're the first pair down, and hopefully put our ass on the trailer.

01:04:41Didn't get to do it yesterday, so maybe today's the day.

01:04:45Ready, suit up.

01:04:49All right, suit up.

01:04:51Suit up.

01:04:53Good luck.

01:04:54See you down there.

01:04:56All right.

01:04:57Let's come up next.

01:04:58Let's turn around.

01:04:59Anything from last.

01:05:21Come on, Caleb.

01:05:34All right, first pair here in the third round.

01:05:36Come on, Caleb.

01:05:37We have David Murchison going up against the table.

01:05:39Morton.

01:05:51Damn it.

01:05:52And Damon Merchant will take the win there.

01:05:54You know the out of it.

01:05:55Great drag race between both those cars.

01:05:57Woo!

01:05:58.

01:06:00.

01:06:01.

01:06:02.

01:06:04I said at the very beginning, if we finish in the final eight at every race,

01:06:09consistency wins over just a win here and a win there.

01:06:14So, I can't be mad about that.

01:06:16I'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.

01:06:35All right.

01:06:36Next pair coming up, gonna be Giuseppe.

01:06:38Going up against Kai Kelley.

01:06:42At round three, I went up.

01:06:44I drew Giuseppe.

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

01:06:47So, he's probably got it back figured out.

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

01:06:50We're gonna go out there and go as fast as we think we can go on this race track.

01:06:53There's $200,000 on the line.

01:06:54We gotta keep clicking that 10 points towards our pot.

01:06:57We drew Kai Kelley.

01:07:09We 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.

01:07:16So, I'm feeling like we're gonna go rounds, and we got a chance to win this this weekend.

01:07:20Damn it!

01:07:21Damn it!

01:07:22Man, I thought the got him too.

01:07:23We could win that damn it!

01:07:24So, we got past Giuseppe in round three.

01:07:27It was a good side-by-side race.

01:07:28I got about a fender on him, I think.

01:07:32You got me on the tree, I think.

01:07:33I feel like you pulled in front of me in the middle.

01:07:48In the middle, I think I did.

01:07:52You got me a little early, I think in the middle is a slow man.

01:07:54Final monkey who keeps there...

01:08:01a little early, I think, and in the middle.

01:08:03It was a good race.

01:08:04Yeah, man, you going so fast you blew the wind out.

01:08:06We're going to have to watch out for you again.

01:08:07I know, I know.

01:08:08Good race, man.

01:08:09Me too, boy.

01:08:10Coming at you right here, and that's going to be Rich

01:08:12Fruder going up against Axeman.

01:08:17So 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.

01:08:22I 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.

01:08:27I'll race straight up.

01:08:28He played a game with me last week.

01:08:29I'll play it again this week.

01:08:30But if you want straight up, we got straight up.

01:08:32I'm fine, man.

01:08:33Round three, I drew Rich Fruder driving a jackal.

01:08:36He jumped on me last weekend.

01:08:38I just showed him I can do it, too.

01:08:40I don't tell you, it brings a pair of medics if he jump.

01:08:44So I went over.

01:08:45I told him, I said, I'll race you straight up.

01:08:47I said, you jumped last week.

01:08:48You 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.

01:08:54Is he going to guess on him?

01:08:55He's going to guess on him.

01:08:57I would.

01:08:58Come on, John.

01:09:00I'll see.

01:09:15And Rich Fruder.

01:09:18Wow.

01:09:19That thing's fast.

01:09:20Hey.

01:09:21That's fast.

01:09:22Damn, where did that come, bro?

01:09:23Hey, at the big end, it's like, oh.

01:09:25Yeah.

01:09:26Yeah.

01:09:28Good race, Larry.

01:09:29Damn, it cut off on me.

01:09:30Did it?

01:09:31Yeah.

01:09:32Our front end.

01:09:33I hate it.

01:09:34We have our hot rod back and we can go rounds.

01:09:36And it's showing.

01:09:37Good job, bro.

01:09:38Oh, yeah, bro.

01:09:39It's always fun racing.

01:09:40Oh, man.

01:09:42All right, folks.

01:09:43Last pair here in the third round.

01:09:44That is going to be Nate Saylor going up against Murder Nova.

01:09:48It does not check .

01:09:49It doesn't.

01:09:50I guarantee it doesn't.

01:09:51I got data that shows how high it is.

01:09:55It's about eight inches off the ground.

01:09:57All right.

01:09:58It's about eight inches off the ground.

01:09:59It's about eight inches off the ground.

01:10:00The beam's only seven.

01:10:02The beam's between five and seven.

01:10:05Seven tops.

01:10:06I think you're crazy.

01:10:07I don't think it does anything anyways.

01:10:09OK.

01:10:10I'll get it fixed before the next one.

01:10:11I think it does.

01:10:12And I would have it on him.

01:10:13And I would have it on him.

01:10:14We 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.

01:10:20And right now, he's in the top three out here.

01:10:30We've outran him before.

01:10:31He's outran us before.

01:10:32So 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, I'm not real sure he can get more aggressive than what we're going to.

01:10:43And Nate Saylor will get the win.

01:11:10Murder Nova has problems over there in that right lane.

01:11:12Out of the gas.

01:11:13Way early in the past.

01:11:14So Nate Saylor will move on to the semi-finals.

01:11:19I told the tuner, I was like, if you're ever going to put a tune-up in it that's gambling,

01:11:25now is it, because we're going to need it.

01:11:27And I think it carried the tires so damn far, I couldn't steer the car.

01:11:31So when the tires came down, I had to bring her back to the groove.

01:11:33So he put a tune-up in it.

01:11:35I wanted to win, and we won.

01:11:36And now we're going to the next round.

01:11:37We've got two Ryan Martin cars in the next round.

01:11:39So we're collecting those team points.

01:11:41I let go of the button, and it just shook instantly.

01:11:44Dude, I carried the tires so damn far, I couldn't steer.

01:11:47Nice job.

01:11:48Nice job, man.

01:11:49Thanks, brother.

01:11:50Yeah, I don't know.

01:11:51I don't know if it broke the gears, but they're howling the whole way.

01:11:54So I didn't even make it to the 60 foot.

01:11:57Well, I'm not going to bull it.

01:11:58If you lost, I just assumed it'd be for me.

01:12:00Oh, yeah, yeah.

01:12:01And if I lost, I just...

01:12:02For sure.

01:12:03For sure.

01:12:04I'm good with it.

01:12:05So there you have it, folks.

01:12:06Damon Merchant, Kai Kelly, Rich Bruder, and Nate Saylor.

01:12:08Moving on.

01:12:13All right, we're going to go and get started with our invitational semifinals drivers meeting.

01:12:17Folks, we started with 32 drivers.

01:12:19We are now down to four.

01:12:21Four drivers.

01:12:23Man, we are close.

01:12:25All the teams have been knocked out except for Team Kai Kelly and Team Ryan Martin.

01:12:29Kai, they're kind of catching up on you.

01:12:31Yeah.

01:12:32Look, man, do you just not like number one?

01:12:34You prefer number two?

01:12:37No, you know, all year, Damon's been, like, really close to me.

01:12:41So I went ahead and bought him, Ryan, to worry about that.

01:12:44There you go.

01:12:46I like the strategy.

01:12:47All right.

01:12:48All right, look.

01:12:49Kai's nothing but honest over here.

01:12:50He has a plan.

01:12:51I like it.

01:12:52All right.

01:12:53Let's draw chips, y'all.

01:12:54Where are my number ones?

01:12:55Y'all want to trade?

01:12:56Oh, wow.

01:12:57The teammates drew each other.

01:12:58Damon Merchant versus Kai Kelly, which means the other teammates drew each other.

01:12:59Rich Bruder versus Nate Saylor.

01:13:00But what that does guarantee is it'll be a Team Kai Kelly, Team Ryan Martin Finals.

01:13:07All right, y'all.

01:13:08Go back to the pits.

01:13:09Get your cars turned around.

01:13:10Now, I'll tell you, $10,000 does sound good right about now.

01:13:11Invitational semi-finals coming at you right now.

01:13:17Hey, take it easy on me.

01:13:18Make it look like a good race, huh?

01:13:19You .

01:13:20Hope you were.

01:13:21So chip draw did not go our way going into the semi-finals here.

01:13:24Ryan's got two guys in.

01:13:25Kai and myself are in.

01:13:26It would have been great for points if we could have drew them to, put them out, went into

01:13:39the finals together.

01:13:40Chips didn't fall that way.

01:13:41So we got Kai.

01:13:42Any time you throw me into a race, it's a race for $40,000.

01:13:56I'm not a he.

01:13:58Any time you throw me in a race, it's a race for $40,000, I'm not laying down for any team

01:14:13captain, teammate, or anything.

01:14:16We're going to give them hell out there, and like I said, the best car is going to go to

01:14:19the finals.

01:14:28Hey, Boosie.

01:14:32Yes, Axeman.

01:14:33Aren't these two on the same team?

01:14:34Who?

01:14:35Nate and Damon.

01:14:36Ryan paid for Nate, and Kai paid for Nate.

01:14:38I don't really watch social media.

01:14:40What happened?

01:14:41You missed the first day.

01:14:43There was some trading that went on.

01:14:45Nate and Salem went to Ryan Martin's team, and Damon Merchant went to Kyle Keller's team.

01:14:48You don't even know?

01:14:49So they bought them?

01:14:50I didn't see it.

01:14:51We got sold.

01:14:53So literally paid money for them?

01:14:55Yeah, there's a little bit of money exchanged as well.

01:14:57Holy...

01:14:58I was asleep, and then I didn't get anything.

01:15:00And Ryan, Ryan done it too?

01:15:01Ryan did it also.

01:15:02No way.

01:15:04Actually, Ryan was the first one that did the trade.

01:15:07But, but y'all's team, you know, co-captain is the one who started this whole deal.

01:15:12Dave tried to, but he didn't get his money right.

01:15:15Couldn't get his money right.

01:15:17Can we, can we move on?

01:15:19Can we move on now?

01:15:22In rotational semifinals coming at you right now.

01:15:26And Kyle Kelly gets the win.

01:15:39Kyle left first, never looked back.

01:15:41Both guys driving those cars there.

01:15:43Kyle Kelly gets the win.

01:15:45He will go to the finals.

01:15:46Picking up Damon, that's probably the best $10,000 I ever spent.

01:15:49He went to the semis with me today.

01:15:51He helped me hold off Ron's team from getting any points on us.

01:15:54He puts him to work.

01:15:55He's got a badass fast car.

01:15:57I raced side by side with him.

01:15:58It's whoever leaves on the light.

01:16:00And to be able to buy somebody like that and put him on your team, it's just a gift.

01:16:03Appreciate it, buddy.

01:16:05Hey, man, you passed me.

01:16:06What happened?

01:16:07Let him loose, man.

01:16:08There he goes.

01:16:12That was a race.

01:16:14Last pair here in the semifinals for the Invitational Class.

01:16:17Rich Bruder going up against Nate Saylor.

01:16:22Sucks, but at least one of us are moving on to the next round.

01:16:25One team Ryan's going to the next round.

01:16:26That's the other thing that's good about this.

01:16:29Semifinals, we got Rich Bruder.

01:16:32Didn't want that.

01:16:33We were trying to stay away from each other so we could race each other in the final.

01:16:36Stay safe, have fun.

01:16:38We'll see you on the other side.

01:16:39We're going to put a tune-up in the car.

01:16:40We know it's going to haul ass.

01:16:42He's going to do the same, I guarantee it.

01:16:44And we're going to see if we can go get some money and some points and get into the final.

01:16:58If the track's going to be there, I don't think there's going to be an issue with that.

01:17:01We're hanging more weight on the front end.

01:17:03This is the fastest pass that we've been made to date.

01:17:05You know, it's been shown.

01:17:07We're going rounds now.

01:17:07So hopefully we'll be back, be in the final.

01:17:09And Nate Saylor will take the win.

01:17:16That was a drag race, super close to the other end, but Nate Saylor turns on the win light.

01:17:39So your finals will be Kai Kelly versus Nate Saylor for $40,000.

01:17:47Good race, brother.

01:17:48Thanks, man.

01:17:49Good job.

01:17:50We got our front ends high up.

01:17:52We got to make a barge age on this thing now.

01:17:54Oh, man.

01:17:55This thing did a monster wheelie.

01:17:56Yeah, same thing.

01:17:57It was awesome.

01:17:58Good job.

01:17:59Thanks, brother.

01:18:00We're going to go win us the championship.

01:18:02That's it.

01:18:02We're going to do it.

01:18:03All right, Michigan, this is your invitational final right here, right now.

01:18:12Dude, I want this one so bad.

01:18:13I can't even tell you.

01:18:14Finals here were against Kai Kelly, and that is my kryptonite.

01:18:18He has beat me three out of three times.

01:18:21Y'all got everything ready to go fast?

01:18:24Yep.

01:18:24I know they're going to throw the kitchen sink at it because they know when we were running them before,

01:18:28we were right there at his door.

01:18:30Well, this car is faster now.

01:18:32I don't want to think these guys all pooled their money together to buy me, and I'm not doing my job.

01:18:41So I'm out here trying to do the best I can for my team.

01:18:46We'll just see what happens here.

01:18:55These drivers are racing for $40,000.

01:18:59Win or lose, we're going to be at least 100 points ahead of Dave's team.

01:19:02Not to mention, we're about to go up there and race for $40,000.

01:19:06This right here will be a drag race between these two extremely fast cars.

01:19:12When Nate Saylor first came into the MPK, you know, everybody was saying he had a lot of money.

01:19:16He was going to be fast.

01:19:17He was going to be hard to deal with.

01:19:18And he's done one thing that most of the rich guys don't do.

01:19:21He's putting in the work.

01:19:22He's out testing.

01:19:23He knows his car.

01:19:24He's got a good tuner.

01:19:25Let's see who will win the bag of money.

01:19:30So if there was any time that we needed to bring our best game up there, it's now.

01:19:33Oh, and Nate Saylor gets the win.

01:19:57What a drag race.

01:20:01Kyle Kelly was right there.

01:20:03But Nate Saylor 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, let go of the button.

01:20:17He 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 going to hit the wall.

01:20:27But we got the win.

01:20:28Nate Saylor 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 going to come for that championship.

01:20:37About to ace the wall, buddy.

01:20:38Oh, dude, I about to ace you.

01:20:40Good race, man.

01:20:41You deserve it, for real.

01:20:41Thanks, brother.

01:20:42I told you, man, if he beats me, I ain't going to 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 coming out of the final race.

01:20:50I did get my ass kicked, but I beat on Nate Saylor all year.

01:20:54It was due.

01:20:54He beat me today, but what we did do is me and Damon went to the semis with him.

01:20:58We made sure they didn't make up any ground on us in the championship, and that's what

01:21:01it's all about right now.

01:21:02We're racing for $200,000.

01:21:04I'm going home.

01:21:05I'm safe.

01:21:05My car don't have no scratches on it, and Nate Saylor got a win.

01:21:09All right.

01:21:10Nate Saylor, it is payday, sir.

01:21:12Look, you battled all weekend and steamrolled through the Invitational Class.

01:21:18Two in one season.

01:21:21Nate Saylor, congratulations, man.

01:21:23What are you thinking?

01:21:24Man, 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.

01:21:32We 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, and while that might seem like a lot, with the

01:21:47points and a half and the points and a half and the double points, it's very achievable.

01:21:51Whoa!

01:21:53Look at that, Nate Saylor, man.

01:21:55Hey, congratulations, sir.

01:21:57$40,000.

01:21:59Nate Saylor, big support.

01:22:00Nate Saylor has won his second Invitational of the season.

01:22:07You got to ask yourself, where did this guy come from, and how did the other teams miss him?

01:22:13With that being said, Ryan Martin has to be pleased with himself, his team, and his decisions,

01:22:17as 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, it is anyone's championship.

01:22:27Next week.

01:22:30All right, Galant, London Sports Park, how y'all doing today?

01:22:33I think we got the most solid team there is here, as 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 to make a big move.

01:22:50But the fight for the championship is far from being over.

01:22:58Bodie, you still have a couple guys on your team you have not sold.

01:23:01Points and a half.

01:23:01We 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 to get Scott Taylor on our team.

01:23:12Oh, my God.

01:23:13Is it going to happen?

01:23:14Oh, my God.

01:23:24Oh, my God.
