00:00:00Man, you can just cry, or drive off the end of the racetrack.
00:00:04All of the racers on Team Kai were out by round two.
00:00:07Here's your chance to make a comeback.
00:00:10That gave other teams the chance to go some rounds and close the gap.
00:00:15And boy, did they.
00:00:18The biggest win went to Ryan Martin, who won his first invitational race of the season.
00:00:24Woo!
00:00:26Congratulations, Ryan Martin and his team.
00:00:30There you go, brother. You darned it.
00:00:31He moved his team back into third place.
00:00:34Just 140 points out of first.
00:00:36But with four events left, it's still anyone's championship.
00:00:43Here we go!
00:00:55Michigan.
00:00:56How y'all doing today?
00:00:57Woo!
00:01:00A little damp.
00:01:01A little damp.
00:01:02Yeah.
00:01:03Hey, look, we're going to be dodging this stuff all day long, y'all.
00:01:06But look, I will tell you one thing.
00:01:08We're going to try our best to get this track dry.
00:01:11If a little shower comes through, we'll turn around and try to get it dry the moment it stops raining.
00:01:15But now we're going to go ahead and try to get started, get some racing in, and try to beat this weather.
00:01:21We're here today at US 131 in Michigan.
00:01:26This is the first time for us at this track.
00:01:28With the weather being kind of weird, cold and wet, what it does for the drivers is they'll make a pass and they get data, and then the track conditions can change completely.
00:01:39When it rains, they have to come back, wait for the track to dry.
00:01:42All that data they got is now gone.
00:01:45It's useless.
00:01:47We're getting a late start today because of the rain, which may mean we only get through the first round of racing tonight, and we'll have to come back and finish tomorrow.
00:01:56Yeah, Ryan Martin, winner of last week's event, got his first invitational win of the season.
00:02:04Comeback starts now.
00:02:06That's right.
00:02:07That's right.
00:02:08Right now.
00:02:08Right now.
00:02:09Coming into this race, Kai Kelly is still sitting number one in points, but for the last three weeks, they have struggled.
00:02:16And as we're getting closer to the end of the season, it sounds like all of the captains have spent a lot of time on the phone this week working out potential trades and deals of all kinds.
00:02:26There's a couple of teams that know they don't have a shot at winning.
00:02:32Yep.
00:02:33And, you know, every team's got a couple of decent guys in it.
00:02:35You know, and then after that, it goes, you know.
00:02:37Yep.
00:02:37You know.
00:02:38And so they're talking about getting rid of their number one and number two picks to hire up teams for money.
00:02:47Politicking.
00:02:47Politicking.
00:02:48Politicking.
00:02:49We made some decisions to make some trades due to the performance of our team.
00:02:53Our team has been on a spiral going down.
00:02:56We've got two guys who've been killing it for us all year.
00:03:00Nathan and Damon.
00:03:01These guys deserve an opportunity to win a championship, but a hot commodity right now, man.
00:03:05I'm auctioning them off.
00:03:06We got the deal pretty close.
00:03:08These guys want an opportunity to win, and I gave them an opportunity to pick the team they wanted to go to.
00:03:12All right, fellas, so I got some pretty good news.
00:03:16Buddy called me and said that he realizes that his team ain't got a shot at the championship, and he wanted to sell us Damon Merchant.
00:03:25What's the bid?
00:03:26We bidding it or what?
00:03:27What's the bid?
00:03:27Ten grand.
00:03:28And ranking.
00:03:29Worked his ass off the whole year.
00:03:31The guy's put in the work.
00:03:32He's done a lot, but he just couldn't get off that struggle bus right now.
00:03:36Nope.
00:03:36Man, this ain't friendship.
00:03:38It's business.
00:03:38We got to do what we got to do.
00:03:40Pretty much halfway through this season already, I was already talking to Bodie about possibly trying to get Damon Merchant.
00:03:46I hope y'all are in, because I already told him yes.
00:03:49He named a price.
00:03:51It was $10,000, and I immediately told him, hell yeah, we want to do it.
00:03:55I did hear some more things.
00:03:56I don't know if they're true, but I heard Ryan may or may not have bought Nate Sailor, which is a weapon right now.
00:04:06Hey, are you buying anybody?
00:04:10I might.
00:04:10I mean, you might as well.
00:04:12I might buy somebody today.
00:04:13Must be a thing to do here.
00:04:14I might buy somebody today.
00:04:15You can just buy people.
00:04:16Yeah.
00:04:16This is the last event before the points and a half starts, and if there's any moves to be made, now is the time if you think you're going to make a push.
00:04:24That being said, I've got to make smart moves for my team to try to strategically get out of this championship.
00:04:31And so I got a phone call from Bodie.
00:04:33Bodie's got two hot commodities.
00:04:34Nate's car's fast.
00:04:35He wants to be on our team.
00:04:37He's going to take a little bit of money.
00:04:38It's going to be interesting today.
00:04:39Let's see how I'm going to get.
00:04:43Yeah, you know, man.
00:04:44You know how the go.
00:04:45Everybody got knives.
00:04:48Shot, shot, shot, shot.
00:04:50Yeah.
00:04:51So last week when Bodie called me wanting to sell Nate and Damon, I actually had told him that I would take both of them for the money he was asking for them.
00:05:00Nate, he called Ryan, actually got Ryan to buy him.
00:05:04Damon, we went back and forth, back and forth, and I thought all was good.
00:05:09Like, I thought Damon was coming out of my team and it was going to be great.
00:05:11I almost feel like I got a knife in my back.
00:05:15Hey, you've got to take the best shot at winning this championship.
00:05:20I think coming up, you look at the coming up races, Gallaud, Lizzie's going to run good there.
00:05:25Kyle's going to run a test there a lot.
00:05:28It's going to be a good race for them.
00:05:29Steel Alabama is going to be a good race for Ryan.
00:05:31Texas is where it's like, it's any man's game at Texas, I think.
00:05:37Was Ryan trying to get you too?
00:05:39He talked a little bit.
00:05:41I think he got Nate.
00:05:43Huh?
00:05:44He got Nate.
00:05:48What's up?
00:05:49That's why I'm glad I'm on the bottom of the ladder.
00:05:52There's nothing wrong with me.
00:05:53You look like you're upset.
00:05:54I'm not upset.
00:05:55Are you okay?
00:05:56Are you upset?
00:05:57No.
00:05:58Do I have a reason to be upset?
00:05:59I could be, I guess.
00:06:00I don't know.
00:06:00Should I be upset?
00:06:02You should wake up in a happy mood.
00:06:03Why?
00:06:04You should.
00:06:05I know you're waking up angry.
00:06:07No.
00:06:09I know, you just look like you had a face frown.
00:06:11Uh-uh.
00:06:12No, I'm good.
00:06:15All right, guys, this is the captain's meeting.
00:06:17As you know, this is where you can make changes to your team.
00:06:19So we're going to start at the bottom.
00:06:21I mean, not the bottom, sorry.
00:06:22We're going to start with the team that has the most opportunity to do well.
00:06:27Yes.
00:06:28Dean.
00:06:28Yeah, no change.
00:06:29Really?
00:06:29No change.
00:06:30Hey, I like it.
00:06:30I got faith in my guys.
00:06:31One of these days, they're going to pull through.
00:06:33Murillo.
00:06:33Yes.
00:06:34Any changes?
00:06:35Man, you know what?
00:06:35We're doing so good right now, I'd hate to mess it up.
00:06:40Y'all are just a well-oiled machine over there.
00:06:43So no changes.
00:06:44Yeah, we're good.
00:06:44Keeping it where it's at.
00:06:45Status quo.
00:06:45Yes, sir.
00:06:45Yes, sir.
00:06:46Swannstrom.
00:06:47Changes.
00:06:48I found out this week, my money doesn't go as long as some others, so.
00:06:52Oh.
00:06:52Oh.
00:06:53It's all right.
00:06:53What happened?
00:06:54I don't know.
00:06:55I'm going to stay because there's no trade there.
00:06:58Got it.
00:06:59Uh, Bodie.
00:07:01I'll tell you what.
00:07:02We're going to make a lot of changes over here today.
00:07:04First.
00:07:05What?
00:07:05Yeah, the first change I'm going to make is I'm going to put myself back in for Tim Brown.
00:07:10Like it.
00:07:11I'm also going to make a major trade with my two top guys.
00:07:15Okay.
00:07:18So who are you starting with?
00:07:20First, I'll start here with Kai Kelly.
00:07:23What's going on here?
00:07:25You were talking about negotiating.
00:07:28I got Damon.
00:07:30He wanted to go to your team.
00:07:31He was going to bring me back over Rankin and a couple extra dollars.
00:07:37Ooh.
00:07:39Say no more.
00:07:40$10,000.
00:07:41Wait a minute.
00:07:42Time out.
00:07:43Wait, time out.
00:07:44$10,000.
00:07:45Trading Damon for Rankin was huge for us because Rankin's been struggling.
00:07:48When it does make a pass, it's fast.
00:07:49But to win these deals, you got to be consistent.
00:07:51And you got to be consistent every single week with no breaks.
00:07:54For now, he's just not consistent enough for us to win a championship.
00:07:57And Damon is.
00:07:58It's business and it's $200,000.
00:08:00I hate it for Rankin.
00:08:02But I got to do it.
00:08:03Rankin, please do not take offense to this.
00:08:05But you just traded Damon Merchant for Chris Rankin.
00:08:09And $10,000.
00:08:10I get a lot of credit.
00:08:11I'm the great GM because everybody had the opportunity to pick these guys and they didn't.
00:08:15Yeah, that's right.
00:08:15So I GMed these guys and I got them here and they showed me that they was worth every dime of it.
00:08:20So this is what I get in return.
00:08:21And we're not done.
00:08:22We're not done.
00:08:23Oh, you're not.
00:08:23You got more trades.
00:08:24Wow.
00:08:24Okay.
00:08:25What else you got?
00:08:26The next trade we got.
00:08:27Blockbuster trade.
00:08:28It's Nate Saylor.
00:08:29We working a deal with Ryan Martin.
00:08:31Yeah.
00:08:31For who?
00:08:35For Jerry, unfortunately.
00:08:37The Bird Boys.
00:08:38Oh, that's what you think, y'all be my.
00:08:41You just can't.
00:08:42And you know, I wasn't going to do this.
00:08:44But then I heard Kai was going to do it.
00:08:46Damon's a heavy hitter.
00:08:47He's one of the fastest cars here.
00:08:48Obviously top five for sure.
00:08:50So to go get this championship.
00:08:52It's going to be tough to try to get there without having an equal team.
00:08:55I need people that are going to be heavy hitters.
00:08:59Bodhi put up Nate Saylor.
00:09:00It was a $10,000 purchase.
00:09:01I talked it out with my team.
00:09:03We split it up four ways.
00:09:04It was $2,500 a piece.
00:09:06We thought of it as a very cheap investment to possibly guarantee us another driver to collect
00:09:12points for us to go get that championship.
00:09:14Did you already have the money wired to you?
00:09:16Or is it in cash?
00:09:16Or what's going on with that?
00:09:17You know I'm good for it.
00:09:19Yeah, yeah.
00:09:19Ryan's murder.
00:09:20I'm good for it.
00:09:21I'd also like to point out that I'm sure Team Dave and Murder Nova maybe are not exactly
00:09:26happy with the trades because that just kind of sets them back as well.
00:09:29It makes it harder for them to win the championship as well.
00:09:32It's kind of stacking the teams, you know.
00:09:33Set me back.
00:09:35All right.
00:09:36Is that it?
00:09:36Yes, sir.
00:09:37All right.
00:09:38Murder Nova.
00:09:39Yes.
00:09:39I ain't got 10 grand, so.
00:09:43It looks like I'm sticking with my guys.
00:09:46Yeah.
00:09:48Okay.
00:09:48All right, guys.
00:09:49Well, there you have it.
00:09:50That's the captain's meeting.
00:09:52Let's do it.
00:09:53Know what you got to do.
00:09:53Good deal.
00:09:54All right.
00:09:55Team Kai getting another heavy hitter onto a team that is already sitting in first place.
00:10:00And then you've got Team Ryan Martin who is also getting an extremely fast driver.
00:10:07Moving up, huh?
00:10:09I'm just going to keep doing what I've been doing.
00:10:10That's right.
00:10:12This will put a lot of pressure on Damon and Nate to really perform for their teams
00:10:18because these captains made these moves to try to win that team championship.
00:10:25What do you think about the team deal?
00:10:29I don't mind it.
00:10:30It helps y'all.
00:10:31But at the same time, the way he did it.
00:10:33Yeah.
00:10:34You know, I got to him last night.
00:10:37I said, I'll probably be the next one to go.
00:10:39I said, but I'd rather kind of be anywhere than what a snake.
00:10:44We still had a chance.
00:10:46We weren't out.
00:10:47You know what I'm saying?
00:10:47That's what I kind of said, too.
00:10:48Me and Nate talked about that.
00:10:50We still had a chance for the championship.
00:10:51We weren't out.
00:10:52But all that benefited was his pocket.
00:10:56That's it.
00:10:57And then he threw up in my face.
00:10:58Oh, well, I didn't have to pick you.
00:11:02You ain't done for the team.
00:11:04You ain't got a point.
00:11:05You ain't went a round.
00:11:07But you want to take all the money in your pocket and sell out on your people?
00:11:11That ain't no captain.
00:11:12That's chicken.
00:11:19All right.
00:11:19Well, folks, we are now going to move into the Invitational Round 1 Drivers Meeting, folks.
00:11:27This is the main event for the weekend.
00:11:30This is the class where 32 drivers battle it out for $40,000.
00:11:35It seems like those trades really opened the floodgates for other team captains to try to make some moves.
00:11:41I said no.
00:11:41I said you've worked more than five.
00:11:43He just don't like you, man.
00:11:44He don't like you.
00:11:45He thinks he can't win a championship.
00:11:48He don't want you to.
00:11:49He can't either.
00:11:50That's where we're at with Mike right now.
00:11:52That's the type of guy Mike is.
00:11:54You had Sean trying to get Mike Murillo to trade Scott Taylor for $5,000.
00:12:00But for some reason, Murillo is not down with that.
00:12:03He's trying to go from fourth to third.
00:12:05Yeah.
00:12:05But he's not getting his paper right.
00:12:07How much paper is it going to take?
00:12:08$10,000.
00:12:09$10,000.
00:12:10You're good for it, right?
00:12:11That's what the going...
00:12:12I guess that's what top-tier people go for.
00:12:15Are you talking about Ryan?
00:12:17Oh, wow.
00:12:18Damn.
00:12:19Hey.
00:12:20Oh, wow.
00:12:21Damn.
00:12:22Hey.
00:12:25Wow.
00:12:26We just recovered.
00:12:27I love you, man.
00:12:28All right.
00:12:29Well, look, Sean.
00:12:29It looks like Murillo is not going to crack yet.
00:12:32We'll try next week, buddy.
00:12:33Sorry.
00:12:33And now, after all the successful and unsuccessful trading, plus our race your way in, the 32-car
00:12:42field is set.
00:12:44Since he auctioned off two of his team members, Bodie only has two drivers in the Invitational
00:12:48today.
00:12:49But Kai's and Ryan's investments are really paying off, as they each have all five racers
00:12:55in, unlike Dave, who only has four.
00:12:58We'll go ahead and get the bucket here.
00:13:00We'll draw out of this bucket real quick.
00:13:02All right.
00:13:02You're looking good, you son of a .
00:13:06Yeah, you weren't looking good.
00:13:07I was trying to get him mixed up.
00:13:10If anyone asks me, I think you're worth 10,000.
00:13:12Thank you, bud.
00:13:13You're welcome.
00:13:13There ain't no chips in there.
00:13:14No, I hear you.
00:13:15In the first round here in Michigan, eight teammates drew each other.
00:13:19You got Chuck 55 going up against B-Rad.
00:13:21Sean had four racers coming in to this race.
00:13:24Unfortunately, this guarantees that he'll have, at the most, three racers continuing on after
00:13:29this first round.
00:13:29Then, the race that everyone's got their eye on.
00:13:33It is a rematch between Kai Kelly and Lizzie Musi.
00:13:36Those two are the heaviest hitters on their team.
00:13:39Plus, you factor in the history they have between each other.
00:13:43This is going to be a good one.
00:13:45Then, you have Robin Roberts versus Ryan Martin.
00:13:48Again, two of the heaviest hitters on their team.
00:13:52And for Ryan Martin, who's trying to get to the top, he needs all of his strongest racers
00:13:57to stay in as long as possible.
00:13:59Finally, you have Dave himself going up against Paige Coughlin.
00:14:03Paige has been trying to prove herself all season long.
00:14:06And Dave is the captain of the team, which means there'll be a lot of pressure for Paige
00:14:11and Dave to get the win.
00:14:14So, I think you're in a better position now.
00:14:16I do, too.
00:14:17I mean, for sure now, but Dave was really wanting to make a run.
00:14:21All right, folks.
00:14:24First pair here in the Invitational first round.
00:14:27You got Rich Bruder going up against Jim Howe.
00:14:30It's a rematch from last weekend.
00:14:33Here we are, US 131.
00:14:35What a crazy day.
00:14:36Rain on and off, getting cold out.
00:14:39Go up there for Invitational chip draw.
00:14:41We draw Jim Howe.
00:14:42It's going to be a rematch from the last race.
00:14:44We went up there third round last race.
00:14:46Went up there.
00:14:46We had a problem with the car.
00:14:48After that race, we went to a dyno.
00:14:50Dynoed the car a little bit.
00:14:52Got it back where it should be.
00:14:53And it's running strong today.
00:15:05Damn, somebody's on some sticker tires.
00:15:08Holy.
00:15:11So, we're here in basically my hometown.
00:15:14We're in Martin, Michigan.
00:15:15I grew up racing here for two days.
00:15:17All it's done is rain, rain, rain, rain, rain.
00:15:19The sun finally came out this afternoon.
00:15:21I do not like racing in the winter weather, and that's what this is.
00:15:24You know, it's no prep racing, and this is what it is.
00:15:27It's what makes this sport and this particular series such an interesting deal.
00:15:31And that's why we've seen so many different winters all year.
00:15:33And Rich Bruder takes the win.
00:15:45Rich Bruder moving on to the next round of the Invitational Class.
00:15:50All right, next pair coming at you right now, we got Brandon James going up against Kayla Morton.
00:16:08We are getting ready for today, and Dave and Kai kind of went at Damon, and he chose to go with Kai.
00:16:28So, we just need to use that as drive and, you know, a fire lit under our ass to do better.
00:16:34If you don't want to be on our team, then we're going to show you that you made a mistake.
00:16:37And Kayla Morton takes the win there.
00:16:56Brandon James getting all kinds of sideways over there in the left lane.
00:17:00The right lane was a little more sketch.
00:17:06Up top, man, it was a little shaky.
00:17:08It was all over the place, but I am glad that we drew that lane, and now we have some data in both lanes,
00:17:12and I'm just hoping to keep this momentum going.
00:17:14There's something to be said about winning five times in a row,
00:17:18and hopefully we can just keep that up.
00:17:20I was driving.
00:17:21Mine drove to the center upheld, and I'm about wrecking.
00:17:23Did you really?
00:17:25Damn, that track is just so cold now.
00:17:28Yeah, it is.
00:17:29Good job.
00:17:29Thanks, Brandon.
00:17:30Good luck, Ma.
00:17:30Appreciate you.
00:17:32Next pair, coming at you right now.
00:17:34We got Clay Cole going up against Scott Scooter Taylor.
00:17:43So I went up and drew Chip today for round one of the Invitational.
00:17:46I drew Scott Taylor.
00:17:48I've not raced Scott yet, so it ought to be an interesting race.
00:17:52So round one's a little bit different today.
00:17:54We've had Mother Nature against us all weekend, unfortunately.
00:17:57It's a little cooler out, so it's definitely going to be tricky,
00:18:06and you're going to have to be on your A-game for sure to get down this track.
00:18:14Hey, hey!
00:18:20What's wrong?
00:18:20It's a train of breaking.
00:18:21It ain't clicking.
00:18:25Looks like Scott Taylor having issues out there stuck, not backing up.
00:18:29Jiggle right there.
00:18:30Right here?
00:18:31Yep.
00:18:31Mike Murillo, team captain, needs to get out there and figure out what's going on with his teammate, Scott Taylor.
00:18:37Put him on the clock!
00:18:39He's on the clock.
00:18:40He's on the clock.
00:18:40He's on the clock.
00:18:42Are you going to put him on the clock?
00:18:43Yeah!
00:18:43All right, so Clay Cole has put Scott Taylor on a two-minute clock.
00:18:46Oh, my.
00:18:47See it broke anywhere?
00:18:49I don't see anything.
00:18:50Oh, yep, right there.
00:18:52Can you shove it back?
00:18:53I'm going to try to do it.
00:18:58You don't get it.
00:18:59Oh, it ain't my team.
00:19:00I don't give a .
00:19:01One minute has surpassed.
00:19:04Don't push me back.
00:19:05I'm going to try it.
00:19:06Maybe it goes red or something.
00:19:07Yeah.
00:19:08Put him in there.
00:19:10Man, Clay, if you don't give him extra time, that's sorry.
00:19:13All right, so got about ten seconds.
00:19:19Nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.
00:19:30That is two minutes.
00:19:32Two minutes.
00:19:33Two minutes.
00:19:34Pass for pass.
00:20:02All right, so Clay Cole will take the win in the pedaling over there in that right lane.
00:20:11Scott Taylor has something happen there right on the hit.
00:20:13Damn.
00:20:14Does not make the pass.
00:20:16We had a wire break on the trans break on the dash, and we just needed a few minutes to fix it.
00:20:23He didn't want to give no extra time.
00:20:24I know that Clay Cole is not going to give anybody one second to actually get a drag race.
00:20:29We know that.
00:20:30We established that.
00:20:31So in the future, anybody, you know, goes up against Clay and he has a problem, he ain't going to give you time.
00:20:36So you got that stuck in the back of your mind.
00:20:38What happened, brother?
00:20:39Ah, a trans break wouldn't work.
00:20:41It just ain't meant to be right now.
00:20:43Oh, man, I'm sorry.
00:20:44Oh, good, man.
00:20:45I didn't put you on the clock.
00:20:46My guy did.
00:20:47I'm sorry.
00:20:48Nah, you're fine.
00:20:49I don't know if you could have got it fixed or not.
00:20:50Yep.
00:20:51I think we had one of the fastest cars on the property tonight, and a wire.
00:20:55You know, one wire broke, and I thought that maybe, you know, the testing and stuff had paid off.
00:21:01We do really good when the track's not great.
00:21:03That's our specialty.
00:21:04We're in the biggest slump we've ever been in, but there ain't one way to get out of it is keep digging.
00:21:09You lay down in a slump, you get covered up.
00:21:11We ain't gonna lay down.
00:21:13All right, folks, next pair.
00:21:16That is gonna be David Gates going up against Murder Nova.
00:21:20Man, I'm gonna have to go up here and race my buddy Sean, Murder Nova.
00:21:26Try to get that win, put him on the trailer.
00:21:32Man, we're starting to go into these points and a half.
00:21:35We got a shot.
00:21:36We're not that far behind.
00:21:39No, y'all are in a good spot for sure.
00:21:42Yep.
00:21:44Y'all are in a, it's achievable where you're at.
00:21:46Yes.
00:21:47Yes.
00:21:48Pretty tight.
00:21:49Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:21:50Yeah.
00:21:51But now it's gonna start doing this because they all got five guys in.
00:21:55So normally we race first round during the day, and you have to worry about a tricky track that's hot.
00:22:02Well, this is a little bit different.
00:22:03We're really far north.
00:22:04It's cold.
00:22:05And a cold track could be worse than a hot and greasy track.
00:22:12David Gates car has the capabilities of being one of the fastest cars on the property.
00:22:25I know he's been struggling a little bit, but I can't look at it that way.
00:22:30I have to look at it like, how much power is this lane gonna take whenever I try to put it down?
00:22:35And that's the route we're gonna go.
00:22:37And that's the route we're gonna go.
00:22:38We're gonna go.
00:22:39We're gonna go.
00:22:40We're gonna go.
00:22:41We're gonna go.
00:22:44We've got a lot of old new turns on.
00:22:49We can't do that, we can't do it.
00:22:50We can't do it.
00:22:51We can't do it.
00:22:52We can't do it.
00:22:53Murder Nova takes the win.
00:22:58He'll move on the next round.
00:23:00Good job, Phantom.
00:23:02Next pair coming at you is going to be B-Rack going up against Chuck 55.
00:23:07Good luck.
00:23:08Good luck.
00:23:09Good luck.
00:23:10Good luck.
00:23:11Good job.
00:23:12We just drew a teammate.
00:23:13We drew Chuck Parker.
00:23:14It sucks.
00:23:15They're fans.
00:23:16But I really want to win first round.
00:23:17That's my simple goal for the week.
00:23:18Win first round.
00:23:23Next pair coming at you is going to be B-Rack going up against Chuck 55.
00:23:48And Chuck 55 takes the win.
00:23:52All right.
00:23:53Coming at you right now.
00:23:54That's going to be Disco Dean going up against Nate Sailor.
00:24:01At the end of the day, it's the captain's choice to do what they want.
00:24:04They can put us down in the reserve pool, trade us, swap us.
00:24:06Nothing we can do about it.
00:24:08But Bode gave me the choice.
00:24:10He said, you pick where you want to go.
00:24:12That's where you can go.
00:24:14And to be honest, I didn't want to go to the first place team, Kai's team.
00:24:19I want to earn this championship.
00:24:21Like if we win, I don't want to be like, oh, well, you got traded at the last minute on Kai's team and he was in first place.
00:24:26I want to go to a team that's going to work their ass off and make it happen.
00:24:31Now it's crunch time.
00:24:41After this race, then it's points and a half, points and a half, and then double points.
00:24:45Like if you don't have your group and your together before then, people are going to go flying by you.
00:24:50I'm just looking for the opportunity to go win a championship.
00:25:09Woo!
00:25:10Let's go, brother!
00:25:11You look close to me.
00:25:12You look close to me.
00:25:13Oh, .
00:25:15Good lap, Nate.
00:25:16Great.
00:25:17Thanks, brother.
00:25:18Good run.
00:25:19Did you make a clean head?
00:25:20Yeah, I was right there next to you the whole time.
00:25:22Just getting loose down there like that.
00:25:25I lifted about the Monarchone just to be safe because it was getting wish-washy.
00:25:28I hear you.
00:25:29Good lap!
00:25:30Thanks, brother.
00:25:31Yep.
00:25:32Next pair, that is going to be Damon Merchant and his competitor, Jeff Lutz.
00:25:37Ugh.
00:25:38Which one?
00:25:39Number one, sitting at around 700.
00:25:41We got your belt.
00:25:42Huh?
00:25:43We got your belt.
00:25:44Check it.
00:25:45We've just been fighting little gremlins all day, really.
00:25:49Just got a blower.
00:25:51We keep having Cylinder 1 shut off randomly.
00:25:55So we got the coil swapped and a new spark plug wire on it.
00:25:59So we're just going to, I mean, it's time to go up.
00:26:03So we're going to give her hell.
00:26:05We drew Jeff Lutz for the first time this year.
00:26:07In all honesty, I haven't got to race very many 405 guys this season.
00:26:11He's another big block Chevy out here.
00:26:13There's not too many of us out here.
00:26:14So I'm just going to have to find out if his big block is faster than my big block.
00:26:20What do you think?
00:26:22I don't know.
00:26:23I didn't get to see Damon's earlier pass.
00:26:24I'm not worried about him.
00:26:26I'm just worried about the cold track.
00:26:28And I went over and asked Ryan.
00:26:29I said, what's your plan?
00:26:30He goes, man, I think I'm going to leave it alone.
00:26:32I said, yeah, I think we're going to too.
00:26:33He's 12th.
00:26:34I said, well, pay attention to us because we're going to leave it alone.
00:26:38Don't you know I draw Damon Marchant?
00:26:40You know, it's been cold all day.
00:26:41It's been raining.
00:26:42It is what it is.
00:26:43Let's give it what we got, you know?
00:26:45So our test pass earlier today went really well.
00:26:48We ran pretty close against Ryan.
00:26:50And I said, let's just rerun that run.
00:27:10Damon Vershaven takes the wing right past there.
00:27:15Damon won his race.
00:27:20So far, my trade is going exactly the direction I needed it to go.
00:27:25His test passes, they sucked.
00:27:27Broke a blower, burned up a spark plug,
00:27:29but he showed up for an invitation in round one.
00:27:32And that's exactly why we paid the money for him,
00:27:34because he's worth it.
00:27:35Whoo!
00:27:36Had to do a little driving that time.
00:27:38All right, folks, this next pair,
00:27:40that's going to be Larry Larson going up against Axeman.
00:27:44Larry lost.
00:27:50Larry?
00:27:51Seven times you beat him.
00:27:52Shoot.
00:27:53I don't know how many times I've raced Larry.
00:27:55I got him the last time we raced.
00:27:57But it was nose to nose that tossed him.
00:28:00Larry has stepped his game up a lot.
00:28:03So this is not going to be easy.
00:28:06It's not going to be easy.
00:28:07Put my mittens on now.
00:28:10What's that?
00:28:11I'm going to put my mittens on.
00:28:14You're all set.
00:28:16Cold out here.
00:28:17Yes, it is.
00:28:19Pulled Larry, Roach, Axeman.
00:28:21Same guy tunes his, that tunes Kayla's,
00:28:23and a couple other ones.
00:28:24So I know about how fast they are.
00:28:26I think we're fully capable of outrunning them.
00:28:28You're going to have to be good on the light
00:28:30and make a nice clean run.
00:28:41The track's really cold right now.
00:28:43Sun's went down.
00:28:44It hasn't rained this afternoon, which is great.
00:28:47But the track conditions are going to start to get a little treacherous
00:28:49down there from half track on.
00:29:03All right, folks.
00:29:04This next pair, that's going to be Larry Larson going up against Axeman.
00:29:08And Axeman.
00:29:29Good job, baby.
00:29:30Good job.
00:29:31Axeman moving on to next round.
00:29:34We rolled in.
00:29:38When that light turned green, I come off that button.
00:29:40I've never seen him again.
00:29:42Like, this thing is walking up on the center line.
00:29:44I'm fighting it back, fighting it back.
00:29:46I kept telling myself, I'm not going to let off.
00:29:48My light come on.
00:29:49I nods another bullet.
00:29:52Man, I'm glad to get past that first round.
00:29:56Next pair, that's going to be Giuseppe going up against Tony McKinnon.
00:30:01So in Maple Grove, we had Nate first round, which is tough.
00:30:04He's fast.
00:30:05Obviously, he was coming off a win.
00:30:07Yeah, he's been over lately.
00:30:08Yeah.
00:30:09So he got us by a fender.
00:30:11But we made a good run.
00:30:12Yeah.
00:30:13The car's fast.
00:30:14We made some changes.
00:30:15We changed the combination up.
00:30:16Yeah.
00:30:17So I'm feeling confident for the rest of the season.
00:30:18I feel real good.
00:30:19Yeah, I'm feeling good.
00:30:20Real good.
00:30:21Going in, we got the chip draw, and we drew Tony McKinney for first round here.
00:30:24I haven't raced Tony McKinney this year, so not sure how fast he is or not.
00:30:28I haven't really gauged him yet, but we're about to find out here in a little bit.
00:30:39The car's really fast.
00:30:40It's flying.
00:30:41But we got to make it to the finish line.
00:30:46We tried a couple more things.
00:30:47We'll see if it makes it to the finish line this next run here.
00:30:57Just set it.
00:30:58With the win, that car was out of it.
00:31:16It was fast, fast.
00:31:21Right through the stripe, didn't see Tony McKinney that whole run.
00:31:24And we pulled off a win.
00:31:26I just had to cut gas.
00:31:27Yeah.
00:31:28I knew I had to.
00:31:29I know how fast you are.
00:31:30No, yeah.
00:31:31Yeah, that was a good run probably right there.
00:31:33Yeah.
00:31:34Yeah, wheels up.
00:31:35It was moving around a little bit, but.
00:31:36Was it?
00:31:37Yeah.
00:31:38And then they still had the wheels packed on the 1-2 ship.
00:31:41And then I bailed it.
00:31:42As soon as I bailed it wiggle, I was like, oh.
00:31:44And I cut gas and it almost went over into your lane.
00:31:46Oh, .
00:31:47So I was able to save it.
00:31:48Yeah.
00:31:49Yeah.
00:31:50Hey.
00:31:51All right, buddy.
00:31:52All right.
00:31:53Next pair coming out.
00:31:54We got Callie Mills going up against Mike Murillo.
00:31:56Got $100 on the left lane.
00:31:59Going into the first round of Race Your Way In against Jerry Bird and had just a killer pass.
00:32:05And broke a rod.
00:32:06We're applying, you know, 5,000 horsepower at, you know, 2.2 seconds in.
00:32:11Have we reached a threshold, a limit?
00:32:13You know, I don't know.
00:32:14What does this mean?
00:32:15It means we're broke.
00:32:16That's what it means.
00:32:17We're broke.
00:32:18I draw none other than Mike Murillo.
00:32:28Unfortunately, he broke his motor.
00:32:30Like, it's, I guess, in pieces.
00:32:32Not good.
00:32:33I hate that for them.
00:32:34Very unfortunate luck.
00:32:35But on our end, we got lucky.
00:32:45Yeah.
00:32:46All right.
00:32:47So, Kelly Mills pulls the shoes.
00:32:48Gets it back straight.
00:32:49Nice job.
00:32:50I got out there.
00:32:51Got loose on the 2-3 shift.
00:32:52It had the wheels up and just got sideways.
00:32:53I needed to have the shoot out a little bit sooner, because it was, and that was not good.
00:33:11So, just had it too hopped up.
00:33:13Next pair coming at you right now, Kai Kelly going up against Lizzie Musi.
00:33:19You know, I know you're sick, so there's nothing you can do about it.
00:33:22I honestly, like, standing, like, I feel like I could throw up any minute.
00:33:26That's how I feel like.
00:33:27Really?
00:33:28Okay.
00:33:29I'm not feeling the greatest this weekend.
00:33:31I'm trying the best I can, so I'm pushing through it.
00:33:34And guess what?
00:33:35I draw a freaking Kai first round again.
00:33:38Definitely didn't want to freaking race him again.
00:33:40No matter what, one of us is going on to the next round for the team.
00:33:43So, that's the way I kind of look at it.
00:33:45Let me win one.
00:33:46Yeah, I think I'm freaking out.
00:33:49Round one, I drew Lizzie.
00:33:51I don't like racing my own team.
00:33:53I definitely don't like racing Lizzie.
00:33:54Seems like every time I get beside her, I get emotional.
00:33:56And I don't like the feeling.
00:33:58And I'd rather her just draw somebody else, because her car is fast.
00:34:02And we've got to run the hell out of my car to try to outrun her.
00:34:05So, it just sucks because there's two fast people.
00:34:07And one of us has got to go home first round when we draw each other.
00:34:10We've got to be on top of our game.
00:34:26We've got to go as fast as we've possibly ever been.
00:34:29Right here today, if we want to get out of first round.
00:34:31It's probably the toughest first round draw you can get.
00:34:33Next pair coming at you right now.
00:34:48Kai Kelly going up against Lizzie Musi.
00:35:03Kai Kelly gets the redemption there.
00:35:18Takes the win.
00:35:19Lots of smoke down there in Lizzie's lane.
00:35:22At the very end of the track.
00:35:24I couldn't imagine having more than one motor.
00:35:26Where you're cool with just burning it down.
00:35:28Every lap.
00:35:30Yeah, yeah.
00:35:32I don't get it.
00:35:33They said he was up against the wall.
00:35:35Was you?
00:35:36I don't think so.
00:35:37Oh, I can't.
00:35:40But a good thing about it, Sean.
00:35:42It ate itself up before the finish line, but you had me anyway.
00:35:44Good job.
00:35:45At least we're one and one for the day.
00:35:47Oh, whatever.
00:35:49If they ain't blowing the motor up, they ain't trying to win.
00:35:51And that's exactly what I want my team to do when they draw me.
00:35:53I want them to win, because I want the fastest car to go to the next round.
00:35:56Because at the end of the day, that gets us more points.
00:35:59I'm still proud of you, though.
00:36:00You're my hero.
00:36:01Why?
00:36:02You're fighting what you're fighting.
00:36:03Don't stop.
00:36:04It's hard on me this weekend, so I love you.
00:36:09Always.
00:36:10I'm about to cry.
00:36:11Good job.
00:36:12Sorry, I don't.
00:36:13Here.
00:36:14Go kick ass, okay?
00:36:16Okay.
00:36:17Robin Roberts going up against his team captain, Brian Martin.
00:36:28Here we are now, it's night time.
00:36:30It is really cold out here.
00:36:32The track surface is good for about 100 foot, but after that it's not great.
00:36:36You know, I'm trying to make this deal a comeback, right?
00:36:38So we won the last race, we're trying to do well, and I, and I, all the guys, we've all talked like, hey, we just need a couple of good draws.
00:36:45And here I am today, and I drew Robin Roberts again.
00:36:48Good luck, man.
00:36:49Good luck.
00:36:50Good luck.
00:36:51Good luck.
00:36:52Good luck, homie.
00:36:53You too, man.
00:36:54Be safe.
00:36:55He has one of the fastest cars here.
00:36:56Very similar combination to mine.
00:36:57I mean, not who I wanted.
00:36:58We're pulling out all the stops.
00:36:59We'll see if it's enough.
00:37:00You know, I hate drawing Ryan.
00:37:01One, he's my buddy.
00:37:02Two, like, he's my team captain.
00:37:04But we got Ryan, we're gonna have to make it work.
00:37:07I'm sure.
00:37:08I'm sure.
00:37:09I'm sure.
00:37:10I'm sure.
00:37:11I'm sure.
00:37:12I'm sure.
00:37:13I'm sure.
00:37:14I'm sure.
00:37:15I'm sure.
00:37:16I'm sure.
00:37:17I'm sure.
00:37:18I'm sure.
00:37:19I'm sure.
00:37:20I'm sure.
00:37:21I'm sure.
00:37:22I'm sure.
00:37:23That didn't even really look close, did it?
00:37:43We're rolling in the lights, and I know he likes to do the double bulge real fast.
00:37:50So I tried to light mine real quick behind him.
00:37:52We both left at the same time, and he just flat out run us in the middle of the track.
00:37:55He 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.
00:38:04You know what?
00:38:05I've drawn my teammate four times in a row.
00:38:06Started with him, then I drew Giuseppe, then I drew Bird Boys, and I drew him again.
00:38:11What about drawing Lizzie twice in one day?
00:38:13Yeah.
00:38:14No .
00:38:15Grade eight in there.
00:38:16Good job.
00:38:17And then I hugged her and started crying.
00:38:18It's still in there somewhere.
00:38:19You did?
00:38:20Yeah.
00:38:21This pair here, we've got Paige Coughlin going up against her teammate and team captain,
00:38:27Daddy Dave.
00:38:28Car just needs to do what it did earlier.
00:38:32What's that?
00:38:33It just needs to do what it did earlier.
00:38:34Yeah, it will.
00:38:35You'll be nice.
00:38:36Tonight was a nice, smooth run, and pretty similar.
00:38:40I'm ready.
00:38:41Oh, .
00:38:42We're here at US 131 Dragway.
00:38:43We finally get to go some rounds.
00:38:44You know, we were able to make a test pass.
00:38:46We're going up for first round.
00:38:47We've been battling, like, the cold weather, the rain, sunshine, clouds, but finally, we're
00:38:56able to hit the track.
00:38:57We're ready to rock and roll.
00:38:58We went up for chip draw, and we drew Daddy Dave, but you know what?
00:39:02Positive outlook on this.
00:39:03One of us from Team Daddy Dave is going to be guaranteed a spot in round two.
00:39:09We drew our own teammate again, Paige Coughlin.
00:39:24We raced her a few weeks ago at another event.
00:39:27This time, I hope it's a little closer race, because she got this new motor in there.
00:39:39We'll go up here, let go of the button, and see if we can't go on round two.
00:39:42And Daddy Dave takes the win.
00:39:49Looked like Paige Coughlin was out in front, pulled the chute a little early.
00:39:55Oh my god.
00:39:56I'm so scared.
00:39:57Why?
00:39:58What happened?
00:39:59I was going everywhere but straight for a minute, and I'm like, oh no, no, no.
00:40:02Hey, good job.
00:40:03Oh my god, so scary.
00:40:04Knocked my head up at the tree.
00:40:05I go, where is she going?
00:40:06You know what?
00:40:07You know what?
00:40:08You took it.
00:40:09Yeah, it was .
00:40:10I gotta keep you in line, at least on the top part, you know?
00:40:13That's the second time I've left before you.
00:40:15Yeah.
00:40:16All right, next pair coming after we've got John Odoms.
00:40:17They go up against Bobby.
00:40:18Jacote.
00:40:19Oh my god.
00:40:20Oh my god, so scary.
00:40:21I'm like, oh no, no, no.
00:40:23Hey, good job.
00:40:24Oh my god, so scary.
00:40:25Knocked my head up at the tree.
00:40:26I go, where is she going?
00:40:27You know what?
00:40:28You took it, it was .
00:40:30I gotta keep you in line, at least on the top part, you know?
00:40:33That's the second time I've left before you.
00:40:34Yeah.
00:40:35All right, next pair coming after we've got John Odoms.
00:40:37They go up against Bobby.
00:40:39Jacote him.
00:40:46We're trying to get some points, we kind of got our whole team, like, just smashed
00:40:53out from under us, and our great captain decided to just sell everybody to pat his own pockets
00:40:58the hell with everybody else.
00:41:00His ass still ain't racing.
00:41:01He ain't got a single point this year, went a single round this year, but he put all that
00:41:05money in his pocket.
00:41:06The hell with the rest of the team.
00:41:08Whatever.
00:41:09It is what it is.
00:41:10I'll probably be trading next week.
00:41:12I don't really know where I'm going, don't really care.
00:41:15I'd rather be anywhere than with a snake like that.
00:41:36John Odom will take the win there.
00:41:38Yeah, John, we got the win.
00:41:41At least that was moving on.
00:41:43I was pulling back to you.
00:41:44Bobby, I saw you the whole time, dude.
00:41:45The whole time, brother.
00:41:47Were you like, there was a point.
00:41:49I didn't.
00:41:50Did you see me the whole time?
00:41:51I can see your nose right here.
00:41:52Yeah.
00:41:53The whole time.
00:41:54Battle of the turbo cars coming at you right now.
00:41:57Got Chris Rankin over in the left lane in the conquest.
00:42:00Going up against Chuck Seitzinger in the right lane.
00:42:06The Harley motorез care.
00:42:07Okay.
00:42:08He is.
00:42:09.
00:42:10We drew Chuck.
00:42:11And, uh, I am not usually door to door.
00:42:13So it could be anybody's race.
00:42:14Him and I are both hot strong as hell.
00:42:16So, you know, hopefully we can both go have a good drag race.
00:42:18And, uh, and I come out on top.
00:42:19And I go in round two.
00:42:20So that's it.
00:42:21and I come out on top, and I go in round two.
00:42:23So, that's it.
00:42:25Chris Rankin in the left lane,
00:42:26twin turbo con crest, going up against Chuck Sightseeder,
00:42:28twin turbo Mustang in the right lane.
00:42:37This is the first time I've been in the Invitational
00:42:39in three or four weeks, so I need to go to the semifinals,
00:42:42so when I go to Galat, I'm not in the race your way in,
00:42:46so, but right now, I just can't give up,
00:42:49so I'm gonna do the best I can.
00:42:51All right, Chris Rankin will get the win.
00:43:14Chuck Sightseeder has problems on the hit.
00:43:17All right, folks, we got Jimmy Taylor going up against Justin Swanstrom.
00:43:22It's being so cold here. It's pretty rough.
00:43:27We'll see how it plays out.
00:43:28I know the tracks are gonna be very tricky for everybody today, too,
00:43:31but everybody's gotta go down the same surface.
00:43:36And it's being so cold here, it's pretty rough.
00:43:42We'll see how it plays out.
00:43:43I know the tracks are going to be very tricky for everybody
00:43:46today, too.
00:43:47But everybody's got to go down the same surface.
00:44:03All right, folks, we got Jimmy Taylor going up
00:44:05against Justin Swanstrom.
00:44:21And Jimmy Taylor will take the win.
00:44:24Justin Swanstrom having to pedal over there in that right lane.
00:44:28Going into round two, Ryan Martin has four racers moving on.
00:44:32Meanwhile, Dave and Kai only have three.
00:44:34It does feel like Ryan is picking up some momentum
00:44:37in his program.
00:44:38But he came off his first invitational win last week.
00:44:41Now he's picked up Nate Saylor, and he's looking
00:44:44to continue that forward movement.
00:44:46Nate Saylor and Damon Merchant are moving on to round two.
00:44:49It really seems like they're trying to prove that they are
00:44:52worth the investment that was made.
00:44:54All right, folks.
00:44:55Going to have my drivers draw chips.
00:44:56What is that?
00:44:57Cheat?
00:44:58.
00:44:59What is that?
00:45:03What is that?
00:45:04All righty, where are my number one?
00:45:09Kelly Mills versus Kayla Morton.
00:45:13Chuck 55 and Giuseppe.
00:45:15Yes, Giuseppe, that is a two.
00:45:18Axeman versus Ryan Martin.
00:45:22Oh, wow.
00:45:24Daddy Dave versus Murder Nova.
00:45:28Chris Rankin versus Nate Saylor.
00:45:31It's going to be Jon Odom versus Damon Merchant.
00:45:35Jimmy Taylor and Kai Kelly.
00:45:39All right, so my eighth and final pair will be Rich Bruder
00:45:46versus Clay Cole.
00:45:48All right, drivers, well, y'all got some time to think
00:45:51about what you got to do to your cars, because this round
00:45:53will be run tomorrow.
00:45:55We appreciate you coming.
00:45:56See you tomorrow.
00:45:58Unfortunately, the rain yesterday set us back late enough that
00:46:02we were only able to get the first round of racing in.
00:46:05That means we will have to be spending one more day here in
00:46:08Michigan to finish up the rounds and determine who will be
00:46:11walking away with the $40,000 Invitational prize mode.
00:46:15How are you?
00:46:15What's up?
00:46:16How's everybody doing today?
00:46:17Good.
00:46:18Good.
00:46:25All right, folks, we're going to go ahead and get started on racing.
00:46:27For those that were here last night, you know that we made it
00:46:29through our first round of the Invitational class.
00:46:34We're going to finish it up today on a beautiful Sunday here in
00:46:37the second round of the Invitational class.
00:46:39First pair here in this second round of the Invitational class.
00:46:42Callie Mills going up against Caleb Horton.
00:46:44You ready?
00:46:45Yeah, I think so.
00:46:46Last night, so we changed the cam, you know, to make more horsepower
00:46:51out in the back.
00:46:52And so they didn't have the drive shaft curve close enough to it,
00:46:55because they were trying to see what it would do, since we had
00:46:57that fly against Mike.
00:46:58And hell, it went out there, and it was like, ah!
00:46:59I was like...
00:47:00No, you did a hell of a job last night driving it.
00:47:01Yeah.
00:47:02I'm like, so I just hope we can make it down.
00:47:04And if I can do my job on the tree, I think we'll be okay.
00:47:06Yeah.
00:47:07Today's a new day.
00:47:08Second round of Invitational.
00:47:09We drew Kayla Morton.
00:47:10I'm going to have my work cut out for me, because my car has
00:47:13not been happy.
00:47:14But last night, we made a good pass to, like, the 330.
00:47:16And then when it shifted into high gear, it just got sideways
00:47:18and did not go well.
00:47:30So hopefully we can get it to go A to B, and I can do my job on
00:47:32the tree, because I think I'm going to have to have a really
00:47:34good light.
00:47:38Perfect.
00:47:39Nailed it.
00:47:40Started off the day good, guys.
00:47:42Callie is not one to take lightly.
00:47:44She's getting better and better, faster and faster each day.
00:47:47After each race, she's been to a semifinal this year.
00:47:50We are first pair, so that is another factor to kind of take
00:47:54into account.
00:48:08But we have momentum.
00:48:09We've made pass after pass and just looking to get six round
00:48:12wins here in a row, which is super exciting.
00:48:17And Kayla Morton going to take the win there.
00:48:26Callie Mills, car makes a hard move out there.
00:48:42We both be driving.
00:48:46All right, next pair, we got Chuck 55 going up against Giuseppe.
00:48:50We just need to figure out, we got a Giuseppe.
00:48:56He's got a good setup, fast car, but he's been struggling a little bit.
00:49:02I'm going to try to tear their head off on the light.
00:49:04And if I can leave with them, it gets game over, because I'm
00:49:08telling you, I'll pull them on the big end.
00:49:10If we hold things together, I'll make more power on the big end.
00:49:13We just need to make it to the finals.
00:49:14That's it.
00:49:15I know.
00:49:16We need to get to the finals, baby.
00:49:19All right, you guys good over there?
00:49:21We're good.
00:49:22Right now, I just put a bunch of fuel, the air fuel ratio that the car would normally run at,
00:49:26which has just changed.
00:49:29The weather, whatever, don't know, but now it needs a lot more fuel in the car,
00:49:33so we put more fuel in it.
00:49:34Chuck 55, I know he made it to the finals a few races back there.
00:49:38We're really going to just try to run our own race, try to go as fast as we can,
00:49:41what the track will take, but I'm going to just worry about our program right now
00:49:44and try to push the limits of the track and see if we can pull it off.
00:49:56Right now, we got four guys in.
00:50:03We got the most guys still going rounds right now.
00:50:05We're the only ones who have four in, so we're going to try to close that gap this weekend.
00:50:09Hopefully, we can get two of our guys in the finals, and I'm hoping for all four of our
00:50:13guys for the semifinals left, then two of our guys in the finals to get max points out
00:50:17of this weekend and close that gap against Kai there.
00:50:26And Giuseppe, going to take the win there.
00:50:41Nice pass from him.
00:50:42It was loose out there.
00:50:43Chuck, what happened?
00:50:44I did what I didn't want to do.
00:50:45Shook?
00:50:46No, we took power out of it on the hit, not knowing what it'd take.
00:50:50Yeah.
00:50:51Plus, you left on me.
00:50:52Oh, yeah.
00:50:53So that didn't help.
00:50:54Yeah, yeah.
00:50:55Man, I mean, when I felt the power ramp in, I started reeling you up.
00:50:59Yeah.
00:51:00It's too late.
00:51:01Too late.
00:51:02All right, folks.
00:51:03This right here is going to be a good one.
00:51:04That is going to be Axman going up against Ryan Martin.
00:51:07Better make a straight hit.
00:51:08We'll have something for him.
00:51:09Definitely can't pedal against Ryan, so you're going to have to drive it.
00:51:12No, no.
00:51:13Got a tough competitor, Ryan Martin.
00:51:15The maddest man on the planet, as far as I'm concerned.
00:51:18Like, I mean, he's tough.
00:51:19He's got a couple advantages.
00:51:21He's changed his new car over.
00:51:22He went to that new blower.
00:51:24I'm going to figure out some way to get around here.
00:51:27I love you.
00:51:28I've got Axman first round.
00:51:29They got a new motor in the car.
00:51:31I expect them to be a handful.
00:51:32So we're not going to turn this car down.
00:51:34I'm going to bank on the track holding what I'm going to put in it.
00:51:37And hopefully it does.
00:51:38My team has done really good.
00:51:51We've got four cars in right now, which is what we hope for.
00:51:54Nobody else has that many in.
00:51:55The trade move that we did, Nate's still in.
00:51:57And it was a smart move.
00:51:58I need all four of my guys to advance to next round.
00:52:01Because we didn't draw each other.
00:52:02And it would be fantastic if we could get there.
00:52:03Guess the light.
00:52:04Was that a spike?
00:52:05No, no, no.
00:52:06Hey, the guess.
00:52:07Super good.
00:52:08Super good.
00:52:09Yeah.
00:52:10He can't be mad.
00:52:11He said last week.
00:52:12I told that, I said, you can't be mad ever again.
00:52:26You can't be mad ever again.
00:52:28You can't be mad ever again.
00:52:31You can't be mad ever again.
00:52:36I'm going to be mad ever again.
00:52:38You did it last week.
00:52:39Because he did it last week.
00:52:41Ah, how you doing, baby?
00:52:42I'm sorry, but I had to do it.
00:52:46Woo!
00:52:47So unfortunately, we had a car tuned up
00:52:49and a good car for the weekend.
00:52:50And somebody guessed and put us on the trailer.
00:52:53We all got the same opportunity.
00:52:54That's just not the way I raced.
00:52:56He's a guest of the one.
00:52:57Hey, hey.
00:53:00Hey, one day you're going to have a car fast enough
00:53:01you ain't got to do that.
00:53:02Hey, let me tell you.
00:53:03That floor is 600s faster, and you know it.
00:53:05It's all good.
00:53:06Hey.
00:53:06I know you're going to hit some of those,
00:53:08and some of them you ain't.
00:53:09That one you hit.
00:53:10Hey, I had to make up 600s, brother.
00:53:11I get it.
00:53:12Axeman ended up guessing on the tree.
00:53:14And as we know, Ryan Martin absolutely hates that.
00:53:18But it just goes to show that these racers
00:53:20will do whatever it takes to get the win.
00:53:24Everybody knew you were going to do it.
00:53:26Next pair, that's going to be Daddy Dave going up
00:53:29against Murder Nova.
00:53:31Sucks, because what do you do here?
00:53:33You know what I mean?
00:53:33Like, you can't turn it down, because you'll get out
00:53:36of the brand.
00:53:37You can't turn it up anymore, because the track
00:53:39ain't going to take it.
00:53:39You know what I mean?
00:53:40I promise you don't turn it .
00:53:42Yeah.
00:53:43That's got to be a track race for sure.
00:53:44We finally don't suck, so don't turn it down.
00:53:46This is where your tune-ups get tricky.
00:53:50I drew Daddy Dave, and we're the fourth pair.
00:53:52It's not a whole lot of heat in the track.
00:53:54This might be one of those days where a later round probably
00:53:58would have been better.
00:53:59Dave's a tough draw no matter what.
00:54:01Even if you have Dave outgunned, which I truly believe I do,
00:54:05Dave is Dave.
00:54:06And Dave tends to win races.
00:54:18Sean's been hauling ass lately, going rounds,
00:54:20and I couldn't be happier for the guy.
00:54:22But when we pull the start line, the friendship's
00:54:24over right there.
00:54:36Next pair, that's going to be Daddy Dave going up
00:54:39against his murder nose.
00:54:52That was a drag race, folks.
00:54:54But Kurt or Nova gets there first.
00:54:56Turns on the wind light.
00:54:57Nice job.
00:55:02So we take the light.
00:55:05We left together.
00:55:06He got me a little bit in the middle.
00:55:08I put about half a car on me on the finish line.
00:55:10Side by side.
00:55:11It was.
00:55:12It was a good race, man.
00:55:14This next pair, that's going to be Chris Rankin
00:55:16going up against Nate Saylor.
00:55:20OK, we can go up.
00:55:22Second round, we have Chris Rankin.
00:55:24He can make a stupid fast pass, but it's one here or there.
00:55:27Our car's more consistent, I would think.
00:55:30So as far as the matchup goes, he's going to have to tree me,
00:55:33and I'm just going to make it impossible for him to do that.
00:55:45He got traded to Team Bodie, which is where I came from.
00:55:49I love my old team still.
00:55:51In fact, I'd go back to him if I had to.
00:55:53But now we're Team Ryan, and we're going to do everything
00:55:56what we can to chop their heads off.
00:55:57And I still almost drove around him.
00:55:59He guessed.
00:56:00I knew he knew he had to do it.
00:56:01And I still almost drove around him.
00:56:03He guessed.
00:56:04I knew he knew he had to.
00:56:05He ain't got nothing for this car, let's be honest.
00:56:07Man, I went red, dude.
00:56:08I knew I was going to take a shot at it with your ass, dude.
00:56:09That's right.
00:56:10I'm sorry, man.
00:56:12We're moving on anyway.
00:56:13You ain't sorry, don't lie.
00:56:14You ain't sorry, don't lie.
00:56:16You're moving on anyway.
00:56:18Yep.
00:56:19All right, next pair coming up right here.
00:56:20It's going to be John Odom going up against Damon Merchant.
00:56:21Did you see John McPass yesterday?
00:56:22No, I didn't.
00:56:23His test pass wasn't very good, but they said he ran pretty good
00:56:24in his first E1 pass.
00:56:29And I'm going to do something.
00:56:31And I was going to take a shot at this car.
00:56:32I'm going to take a shot at it.
00:56:33And I was going to take a shot at it.
00:56:34And I was going to take a shot at it, dude.
00:56:36That's right.
00:56:37I'm sorry, man.
00:56:38You ain't sorry.
00:56:39Don't lie.
00:56:40You're moving on anyway.
00:56:41Yep.
00:56:42All right, next pair coming up right here.
00:56:43It's going to be John Odom going up against Damon Merchant.
00:56:45Did you see John McPass yesterday?
00:56:46No, I didn't.
00:56:47His test pass wasn't very good.
00:56:49But they said he ran pretty good in his first E1 pass.
00:56:52I don't know who he raced, though.
00:56:53He raced Bobby to Cody.
00:56:55We'll talk to Bobby and see how it went.
00:56:57We know how Bobby runs.
00:56:59Bobby's not shy.
00:57:00We got our draw last night in John Odom.
00:57:02I raced that car twice this year, once with Jim driving it,
00:57:05once with John driving it.
00:57:06We've outran them both times, but after the problems
00:57:09that we've been having this weekend,
00:57:11you can't count anybody out.
00:57:12I don't know if it's a deal where his tuner's
00:57:14going to have all the confidence in him to get it down
00:57:16that cold racetrack today.
00:57:18So as long as Bynal hit on all eight cylinders,
00:57:21I'm pretty sure we can outrun that car again.
00:57:23Jim, we throwing in the kick-ass tune?
00:57:27I got David Merchant today.
00:57:29You know him and Jim have had a little drama.
00:57:31Now he's on Kai Kelly's team.
00:57:32As you guys know, Kai Kelly's number one.
00:57:34He is fast, so that just makes it a little bit harder
00:57:37for Team Swanstrom just to get to that spot.
00:57:39But we're working really hard.
00:57:47Jim had a problem with his car.
00:57:48It went right last night, so he's out already.
00:57:51Justin's out.
00:57:51He had a problem with his car, so let's just
00:57:53see if we can go out and get us in the finals,
00:57:55and we'll help Team Swanstrom.
00:57:59Team-wise, I still got three in.
00:58:00We lost David and Lizzie.
00:58:01Ron Martin's got three, just like we got three.
00:58:04If we can just make it to the next round and they all win,
00:58:06we'll be tied up with him.
00:58:07We'll keep points in between us.
00:58:09He can't catch us.
00:58:21And David Merchant gets the win.
00:58:32Great pass here in the left lane for David.
00:58:34Takes the win there and move on to the next round.
00:58:38Whoo!
00:58:38Baby, that's a good race.
00:58:40It was a good one.
00:58:40Ha-ha-ha!
00:58:43Oh, I didn't think he was coming with no weak .
00:58:45No, I wasn't.
00:58:46We were right there.
00:58:47I'm super proud of you, man.
00:58:48That was a great race.
00:58:48Good job.
00:58:49Good job.
00:58:51Next pair coming at you right now.
00:58:53We've got Jimmy Taylor going up against Kai Kelly.
00:58:57Hey, man.
00:58:58Welcome to the team today, man.
00:59:00Don't suck.
00:59:01You need some help.
00:59:02I'm available today.
00:59:02Don't forget nothing.
00:59:03All right?
00:59:04Got it.
00:59:05Other than that, I'm going to let go of the button.
00:59:07Kick Mr. Jimmy Taylor's ass.
00:59:11Let go of the button on time.
00:59:13We're back.
00:59:13We're in Michigan.
00:59:14We're starting round two in the Invitational.
00:59:16We won last night.
00:59:16We got that monkey off our back.
00:59:18We got Jimmy Taylor.
00:59:19He took out Justin Swanstrom yesterday,
00:59:20so he must be fast, but we're ready for him.
00:59:32Jimmy's also another Pro Charger car.
00:59:44Pro Chargers are hard to beat.
00:59:45Some guys are just bouncing data off each other
00:59:47and hooking each other's computers to their cars,
00:59:49and they're all getting faster and faster.
01:00:02And Kai Killen gets there first with a great pass there
01:00:15down the track.
01:00:18Whoo!
01:00:19We just got through round two, which felt like round one
01:00:21because it was the first race of the day,
01:00:23and our car went really fast.
01:00:25Adam nailed the tune up.
01:00:27I think I did pretty good on the tree.
01:00:29Jimmy Taylor, he pulled on me in the middle a little bit,
01:00:31but, man, my car shifted into high.
01:00:33I just went around it.
01:00:36It was a lot faster, and I thought I was about to go.
01:00:38I'm real happy with it, and I think we got a hot rod.
01:00:41I think as long as I do my job, I think
01:00:43they got their hands full today.
01:00:45All right, last pair here in the Invitational class.
01:00:47Rich Bruder going to go up against Clay Cole.
01:00:50We double-checked all the wiring and the fittings
01:00:52on the front of the car over there?
01:00:53Yes, sir.
01:00:54And the suspension's good up front?
01:00:55Yep, yep.
01:00:57How do you feel about it?
01:00:58I feel good.
01:00:58I feel really good.
01:00:59We got a good driver.
01:01:00Yeah?
01:01:00Yeah?
01:01:01I got Rich Bruder.
01:01:02I've not faced off against him yet.
01:01:04I know he's got a fast hot rod, but I feel like we're probably
01:01:07a little bit faster on the big end.
01:01:10We're going to go up there, see what we got for Rich Bruder,
01:01:12and hopefully we'll go on with the third round.
01:01:14So last night, it was really cold.
01:01:16The track temp was really, really down.
01:01:18It was bottom 40s.
01:01:19So we had to pull a lot out of our tune up
01:01:21just to get down the track.
01:01:22And if you've seen the past, it was pretty sketchy already.
01:01:25So today, being the complete opposite, we're going to be able to put all that power back in the car,
01:01:29and we're going to go a lot faster today down the track.
01:01:31And we're going to make a good A to B pass.
01:01:47We got Clay Cole.
01:01:48I haven't raced him this year yet.
01:01:50He's been doing good.
01:01:51But like I said, we got our hot rod back,
01:01:53and I'm not even worried who's in the next lane.
01:01:55We're going to race our race, our lane, and turn on that wind light.
01:01:58And Rich Bruder takes the win.
01:02:20Nice job there.
01:02:22Rich Bruder going raced.
01:02:24Yeah.
01:02:27Made a clean pass, straight down.
01:02:29We got that win on to round three right now.
01:02:31Keep it going.
01:02:33You good, bud?
01:02:34Oh, yeah.
01:02:35I had to lift.
01:02:36Did you?
01:02:37Yeah.
01:02:38It was going that way.
01:02:39I was like, this ain't worth it, bro.
01:02:40You know the deal.
01:02:41Oh, yeah.
01:02:42Good race, though, bro.
01:02:43You made a good lick.
01:02:44Good job.
01:02:45We got some figured out, and hope we go some rounds now.
01:02:47No, good job, man.
01:02:48You guys are killing it.
01:02:49You can kill it this year, buddy.
01:02:51All right, folks.
01:02:52That'll do it for the second round of the Invitational Class.
01:02:57Going into the third round, Ryan has three racers left in, while Dave and Kai only have two.
01:03:03Even though Ryan Martin is out of the race, his teammates are still gaining ground on the two teams in front.
01:03:08All right, we can go ahead and start our Invitational Drivers meeting for the third round.
01:03:11Let's go ahead and draw chips.
01:03:13Gently.
01:03:14Gently.
01:03:15God bless.
01:03:18All right, my drivers have their chips.
01:03:20Where are my number ones?
01:03:22Going to be Damon Merchant versus Kayla Morton.
01:03:25Number twos, Giuseppe versus Kai Kelly.
01:03:30Gently.
01:03:31How fast did you say it was going?
01:03:32I'm not sure.
01:03:33I don't even know.
01:03:34Number three, Rich Bruder versus Axman.
01:03:39Which means the fourth and final pair will be Nate Sailor versus Murder Nova.
01:03:46All right, drivers, you know what you got to do.
01:03:48Go back to your pits, get your cars turned around, put them in the staging lanes.
01:03:51One of you is going to win $40,000.
01:03:53Let's go.
01:03:56All right, first pair here in the third round.
01:03:58The Invitational Class is going to have Damon Merchant going up against Kayla Morton.
01:04:03If we let it lay over against her out back, she'll drive around us.
01:04:10Her quicker than John down low and it pulls way harder out back, so.
01:04:15All right, round three here, we drew Kayla.
01:04:17It's hard to come to one of these deals.
01:04:19Super confident when, you know, she's running really good this weekend.
01:04:23We've been struggling.
01:04:24We've been getting by, but we've been struggling a little bit.
01:04:26But we feel like we do got a hot rod right now, so we're not here for no reason.
01:04:30You know, we're going to go up there and do our thing.
01:04:32We're the first pair down and hopefully put our ass on the trailer.
01:04:37Didn't get to do it yesterday, so maybe today's the day.
01:04:44Ready, suit up.
01:04:45All right, suit up.
01:04:48Good luck.
01:04:49See you down there.
01:04:51All right, let's come up next.
01:04:53Let me clear it around.
01:04:54Either take your blast.
01:04:55You're right here.
01:04:56I'm waiting for blast.
01:04:57You're right.
01:04:58Come on, Kayla.
01:04:59Come on, Caleb.
01:05:29All right, first pair here in the third round, the official class, we have Damon Merchant going up against the table of Morton.
01:05:46Damn it!
01:05:47And Damon Merchant will take the win there.
01:05:49You know the out of it.
01:05:50Great drag race between both those cars.
01:05:52Woo!
01:05:57Stop it!
01:05:59I said at the very beginning, if we finish in the final eight at every race, consistency wins over just a win here and a win there.
01:06:09So I can't be mad about that.
01:06:11I'm not pouting over the top eight ever.
01:06:14So we are officially in the badass group of people here, and Mama Shark is coming for galop, man.
01:06:21Pretty pass.
01:06:22Ugh.
01:06:23Huh?
01:06:24It was rough.
01:06:25It was pretty.
01:06:26I figured you was coming.
01:06:27I was.
01:06:28All right, next pair coming up going to be Giuseppe going up against Kai Kelley.
01:06:38At round three, I went up.
01:06:39I drew Giuseppe.
01:06:40He's been struggling the last couple weeks, but he's going around, so he's probably got it back figured out.
01:06:44We're just not going to take Giuseppe lightly.
01:06:46We're going to go out there and go as fast as we think we can go on this racetrack.
01:06:48There's $200,000 on the line.
01:06:49We've got to keep clicking at 10 points towards our pot.
01:06:51We drew Kai Kelly.
01:07:05We haven't been able to beat him this year.
01:07:07I'm feeling pretty good, though.
01:07:08The car is running really good.
01:07:09I feel like we're back to where we used to be.
01:07:11The car is making great runs again.
01:07:12So I'm feeling like we're going to go rounds, and we've got a chance to win this this weekend.
01:07:16I love to win that.
01:07:41So we got past Giuseppe in round three.
01:07:43Round three.
01:07:45It was a good side-by-side race.
01:07:48Got about a fender on him, I think.
01:07:51You got me on the tree, I think.
01:07:52I feel like you pulled in front of me in the middle.
01:07:54In the middle, I think I did.
01:07:56You got me a little early.
01:07:57I think in the middle, it was a good race.
01:07:58Damn, man, you going so fast you blew the wind out.
01:08:01We're going to have to watch out for you again.
01:08:02I know, I know.
01:08:03Good race, man.
01:08:04You too, bud.
01:08:05Coming at you right here.
01:08:06That's going to be Rich Bruder going up against Axeman.
01:08:11So he agreed we raced straight up.
01:08:14I hope so after the last pass.
01:08:16You trust him?
01:08:16After the last pass you did, I hope it was straight up.
01:08:18I mean, if we ain't going to race straight up,
01:08:19I don't mind not racing straight up.
01:08:20We can do it.
01:08:21If you jump, something up.
01:08:22He played a game with me last week.
01:08:24I'll play it again this week.
01:08:25But if you want straight up, we got straight up.
01:08:27I'm fine.
01:08:28Round three, I drew Rich Bruder driving the jackal.
01:08:31He jumped on me last weekend.
01:08:33I just showed him I can do it too.
01:08:35I don't tell you, it brings a pair of medics if he jump.
01:08:40So I went over.
01:08:41I told him, I said, I'll race you straight up.
01:08:43I said, you jumped last week.
01:08:44You know why I do it.
01:08:45I said, if you don't play games, I'm good with it.
01:08:47But if you don't race straight up, we'll shake on it.
01:08:49See, I'm guessing him?
01:08:50Right here.
01:08:51What?
01:08:51See, I'm guessing him.
01:08:52You can't even go, man.
01:08:53You can't even go, man.
01:08:54You can't even go, man.
01:08:55I won't.
01:08:55I'll see him.
01:08:57You can't even go, man.
01:08:57and rich sprutter wow well that thanks fast hey

01:09:34it's always fun racing oh man all right folks last pair here in the third round that is going
01:09:41to be nate sailor going up against murder nova
01:09:44the beams only seven the beams between five and seven seven tops thank you crazy i don't think it
01:10:04does anything anyways okay i'll get it fixed before the next one i think it does and i would have it on
01:10:10we draw nate sailor who is at the top of his game right now he's killing it his car's really fast
01:10:16and right now he's he's in the top three out here
01:10:19we've outran him before he's outran us before so it can go either way just matters on who gets
01:10:31more aggressive with their tune-up if the track holds it i'm not real sure he can get more aggressive
01:10:36than what we're going to
01:10:37and nate sailor will get the win murder nova has problems over there
01:11:07in that right lane out of the gas way early in the past so nate sailor will move on to the
01:11:12semi-finals
01:11:13i told the tuner i was like if you're ever going to put a tune-up in it that's gambling now is it
01:11:21because we're going to need it and uh i think it carried the tires so damn far i couldn't steer
01:11:26the car so when the tires came down had to bring her back to the groove so uh he put a tune-up in
01:11:30it i wanted to win and we won and now we're going to the next round we got two ryan martin cars
01:11:34in the next round so we're collecting those team points i let go of the button and it just shook

01:21:22we are uh we're on a new team team ryan martin proud right there already paying off
01:21:27we made a big move for our team you know nate's car's really fast he's won two events now me picking
01:21:34him up paid off dramatically for me he won the race he took our team to 110 off first place
01:21:40and while that might seem like a lot with the points and a half and the points and a half
01:21:44the double points it's very achievable wow look at that nate sailor man hey congratulations sir
01:21:52forty thousand dollars nate sailor make some noise nate sailor has won his second invitational of the
01:22:00season you got to ask yourself where did this guy come from and how did the other teams miss him
01:22:06with that being said ryan martin has to be pleased with himself his team and his decisions as he is now
01:22:13within 10 points of team dave he's got to be feeling pretty good about himself there's only
01:22:19three events left and at this point it is anyone's championship next week all right galant learned

01:22:31keep things together you got ryan with a lot of momentum
01:22:35kai's team might be holding the lead in points kai's been running away with the skill we need to go
01:22:43to get him and this is our chance to make a big move
01:22:45but the fight for the championship is far from being over bode you still have a couple guys on
01:22:55your team you have not sold points and a half and then the races and at this point right now we're
01:23:00getting left behind some of the teams are out of reach of this championship we are not so we're
01:23:05going to do whatever we can to get scott taylor on our team oh my god is it going to happen
