00:00:01Kyle Kelly's team managed to hold on to their lead-in points.
00:00:04And David Murchin gets the win!
00:00:07Despite the fact that they all lost before the semifinals.
00:00:10Drag race right there.
00:00:11Trans out, boy.
00:00:13Is it moving?
00:00:14Yeah.
00:00:15Trans is done.
00:00:16Kyle Canyon is not going to make the call.
00:00:18And the same went for Daddy Day's team.
00:00:21Their last standing driver went out in round three.
00:00:24Hey, listen, there's nothing.
00:00:27It was Larry Larson from Team Disco
00:00:30and Damon Merchant from Team Bodie
00:00:33who raced in the finals.
00:00:36Damon Merchant wins his first finals this season!
00:00:42Wow!
00:00:50Damon's win pushed Team Bodie
00:00:52into a tie with Team Ryan Martin for third place.
00:00:55But unfortunately for Larry and Team Disco,
00:00:58they are still in dead last place.
00:01:05Here we go!
00:01:07Alright, Ohio, how are you doing this beautiful Saturday?
00:01:24I didn't see everybody clap or yell.
00:01:27So one more time, Ohio, how you doing?
00:01:29All right.
00:01:30All right.
00:01:31OH!
00:01:32All right, we'll keep doing that.
00:01:34Yeah.
00:01:39We're here in West Salem, Ohio for the first ever No Prep Kings race here at Dragway 42.
00:01:44And we're getting ready for the invitational event.
00:01:47As we get closer to the end of the season, these team captains are making decisions,
00:01:51trying to make changes, have had to position themselves to win this $200,000 championship prize.
00:01:57Hey, hey, hey.
00:01:58What was that?
00:02:01What happened?
00:02:02What's wrong?
00:02:03Why are you looking like this?
00:02:04What's up?
00:02:05Dropped the valve.
00:02:06Shut the .
00:02:08Three days in a row we ain't slept.
00:02:11That's a rough day.
00:02:12That's a rough couple days.
00:02:13That's a rough week.
00:02:15I mean, soon or not later, look, it's got to change.
00:02:18It's got to.
00:02:19Before the start of Race Your Way In, Disco Dean dropped Jerry Jensen down and picked Jerry Bird back up.
00:02:26And Bodie ended up dropping himself down and put Randy Williams in his place.
00:02:31But unfortunately, neither one of those racers were able to race their way in and be in the 32 car field today.
00:02:38With that being said, I'm willing to bet that the changes are not done yet.
00:02:42So I've been struggling with the fact of how that we've been doing.
00:02:47I say we, me, Birdman, and really anybody else that we get over here.
00:02:52But Kai has been trying to get you since race one.
00:02:59And the amount of guilt that I feel because we are completely blowing it for you.
00:03:05I'm trying to get you on Kai's team.
00:03:07I understand that.
00:03:08I can understand why Murillo might be thinking about trading Scott to Kai's team.
00:03:13Look, Kai and Scott are teammates from NOLA.
00:03:16And look, Mike wants to get Scott on a good team that has a chance to win the championship.
00:03:21You good?
00:03:22Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:03:23We're just running through maintenance.
00:03:24All right, good, good, good.
00:03:25All right, good, good, good.
00:03:26Come on.
00:03:33I heard some talks.
00:03:36Daddy Dave is fixing to probably be trading a Paige Coughlin for a Damon merchant.
00:03:40Like, they're finna make a super team and make a run at us.
00:03:42Like, we gotta, we really need five people making points.
00:03:46Knock, knock.
00:03:49What up, man?
00:03:50Hey, man.
00:03:51What you doing?
00:03:53Oh, man, just coming over to talk about a trade.
00:03:57This isn't a matter of me trying to get rid of Scott.
00:04:00This is more of a, we suck, holding him back.
00:04:04You asked me about it several times, about trading him.
00:04:07All year, I've been trying to get Scott Taylor back on my team just because, you know, he's one of the hearts of NOLA.
00:04:13So for me to trade as a team captain, I would need to trade for somebody that is faster than somebody on my team
00:04:19and who can fill a void for us right now.
00:04:22Because right now, we got four fast cars.
00:04:24We got me, Lizzie, David Gates, Clay Cole.
00:04:28Rankin's ended up earning us 30 points out of almost 800 points.
00:04:32So, uh, I love Rankin to death.
00:04:35He's a great guy, but, you know, business is business.
00:04:37If I could trade somebody that's more consistent and faster than him, that's what we need to do for our team to win this championship.
00:04:42Because, I mean, we're racing for $200,000.
00:04:44You know, I'd be interested, and if you don't, I understand, but I'd be interested in a Brandon and a Scott trade for a Clay and a, uh, Rankin.
00:04:53I think we're going to definitely keep Clay because he's probably doing better than anybody on our team right now.
00:04:59I thought Murillo would trade me Rankin for Scott, but Murillo only wants to trade for Clay Cole.
00:05:04I want to, I need to talk to the team about it.
00:05:06Okay.
00:05:07Obviously, I'd love to have Scott back on my team.
00:05:10I know, but I'm not straight trading Scott for Rankin.
00:05:13Yeah.
00:05:14Just so you know.
00:05:15So it had to be Scott for Clay?
00:05:16Or somebody equal to that.
00:05:18Because I can't completely cannibalize our team.
00:05:20You know, I was hoping to trade for Clay Cole, which I mistakenly got rid of earlier in the season.
00:05:25Clay has a little bit higher value right now because how well Clay has been doing.
00:05:30You know, I'm not going to just give Scott up for a nobody.
00:05:33Murillo says he's doing it because he wants Scott to be on a winning team.
00:05:37Well, what Murillo's trying to do is trade for somebody that's faster than Scott at the moment.
00:05:41All right.
00:05:42All right. Thanks, man.
00:05:43Thanks, brother.
00:05:44We'll see you later.
00:05:45Good luck to you guys today.
00:05:47All right. Hello, guys, captains.
00:05:49This is where you have a chance to make changes to your team.
00:05:52If you're not happy with how your season is going, now's the time.
00:05:56Dean, I know that you were one of those folks that said, you know, I'm going to wait until race 10.
00:06:00Yeah.
00:06:01And then really go 100%.
00:06:02The mid-season momentum shift.
00:06:04Yeah.
00:06:05That's what's happening right now.
00:06:06That's right.
00:06:07So now is the time to enact that plan.
00:06:08With that being said, Dean.
00:06:09Yes.
00:06:10Any changes?
00:06:11No.
00:06:12Dude, I've got so much faith in Daryl and Jerry Bird, and they have worked their asses off.
00:06:19They put everything they've got into it.
00:06:21And I'm not going to cut them off the team because I know sooner or later he's going to pull through.
00:06:24And the minute I trade him off to one of you guys is when he'll do his valiant effort and turn on five wind lights in a row.
00:06:30So we're going to keep the same team we got.
00:06:31All right.
00:06:32Sounds good.
00:06:33Mike Murillo.
00:06:34We got three guys in.
00:06:35Yeah.
00:06:36And not making any changes.
00:06:37Swanstrom.
00:06:38I'm good.
00:06:39I got all five in.
00:06:40Oh, look at you.
00:06:41Damn, again?
00:06:42Bode, any changes right now?
00:06:43No changes right now.
00:06:44We got three in.
00:06:45Same three we've been having all year.
00:06:46I guess we've been doing good with three, so.
00:06:47Okay.
00:06:48Ryan.
00:06:49Good?
00:06:50I got four out of five.
00:06:51We're in third place.
00:06:52Now, three out of eight teams, that's pretty good.
00:06:54But we want to win.
00:06:55I said last week, I said, I really need Chuck to make it in.
00:06:57And he didn't.
00:06:58You know, and I think I was in the heat of the moment.
00:06:59I said, I'm putting it in.
00:07:00I'm putting it in.
00:07:01I'm putting it in.
00:07:02I'm putting it in.
00:07:03I'm putting it in.
00:07:04I'm putting it in.
00:07:05I'm putting it in.
00:07:06And I don't know that that's not what I still do.
00:07:08We might make a change.
00:07:09We'll see.
00:07:10I have a theory.
00:07:11Okay.
00:07:12Maybe Jerry's struggling because he's on your team.
00:07:13Maybe Chuck's struggling because he's on my team.
00:07:15Yeah.
00:07:16They could both.
00:07:17Change of scenery.
00:07:18Hold on.
00:07:19Hold on.
00:07:20Let me think about it.
00:07:21No.
00:07:22Should we ask Jerry?
00:07:23I'll trade you somebody who's in the invitational today.
00:07:25Who?
00:07:26Who?
00:07:27Doc.
00:07:28Damn.
00:07:29For who?
00:07:30Jerry Bird.
00:07:31No.
00:07:32I got faith, man.
00:07:33I understand what he's saying, though.
00:07:34Wait a minute.
00:07:35You could have another guy in.
00:07:36You got him in right now.
00:07:37If you get him, he's in.
00:07:38I know, but then that's just kicking Jerry to the curb for a little bit.
00:07:39No, it ain't kicking him to the curb.
00:07:40I'm the curb?
00:07:41Can't do it.
00:07:42What if Jerry wants to go to the curb?
00:07:43Well, I would ask him.
00:07:44Well, he's not here.
00:07:45Where's he at?
00:07:46That's a good question.
00:07:47Yeah, get Jerry and Chuck up here to talk about that.
00:07:48So both Ryan and Sean are offering trades to Disco.
00:07:50Ryan is looking for a lot of money.
00:07:51He's looking for a lot of money.
00:07:52He's looking for a lot of money.
00:07:53He's looking for a lot of money.
00:07:54Well, he's not here.
00:07:55Where's he at?
00:07:56That's a good question.
00:07:57Yeah, get Jerry and Chuck up here to talk about that.
00:07:58So both Ryan and Sean are offering trades to Disco.
00:08:01Ryan is looking to trade Chuck for Jerry Byrd,
00:08:03even though neither one of those drivers are in the main event today.
00:08:06Meanwhile, Sean is looking to trade Doc for Jerry Byrd.
00:08:09Doc is in the Invitational, which would give Dean another driver in the field
00:08:13and take Sean down to four.
00:08:15I'm going to be up here in a minute.
00:08:16All right.
00:08:17All right.
00:08:18We are now at Dave.
00:08:19Any changes?
00:08:20All five in.
00:08:21I'm good.
00:08:22Damn.
00:08:23We're halfway through the season, and, you know, I still got my drivers.
00:08:27Just when you think you need to get rid of them, they pull something out of their ass,
00:08:31and they prove that they need to be on the team.
00:08:33And I think I pretty much decided I'm going to keep these guys for the rest of the year.
00:08:37You know, we're all doing good.
00:08:39All five of us are going in.
00:08:40We need to collect some points and take the lead back from Kai Kelly.
00:08:43Captain.
00:08:44Mike.
00:08:45Leading captain.
00:08:46Mike.
00:08:47Uh-oh.
00:08:48Here we go.
00:08:49I can't get rid of Clay Cole because him and Scott's...
00:08:50Then we ain't got nothing to talk about.
00:08:52Oh.
00:08:53What if I gave you a guaranteed $5,000 in ranking?
00:08:57$5,000?
00:08:58Sometimes.
00:08:59Or a $10,000 if I win the championship.
00:09:01Ooh.
00:09:02Or how much?
00:09:03What?
00:09:04$10,000 if we win the championship, or a guaranteed $5,000 today.
00:09:06God.
00:09:07There's no counter?
00:09:08It's just a no?
00:09:09He already knows what I want.
00:09:12Jerry's here.
00:09:13Uh, so what had happened was, it started with Ryan, uh, with Chuck.
00:09:18Yeah.
00:09:19And what we thought, well, what we were thinking was, you guys, you're struggling.
00:09:21Chuck's struggling a little bit.
00:09:22Sometimes if you put them on...
00:09:23A little switcheroo.
00:09:24You did a little switcheroo.
00:09:25Yeah.
00:09:26You know, it might be able to do better on a different team.
00:09:28Chuck might be able to do better on a different team.
00:09:29And he trying to hold you back over here.
00:09:30I said, I wouldn't do it without Jerry's consent.
00:09:32I'll do whatever Jerry wants to do.
00:09:34With that being set up, I gotta do something.
00:09:36You're sure?
00:09:37I gotta change that.
00:09:38Oh, T!
00:09:39Oh!
00:09:40T!
00:09:41T!
00:09:42T!
00:09:43T!
00:09:44T!
00:09:45T!
00:09:46T!
00:09:47I knew it!
00:09:48I need to do something different just to try to turn this thing around.
00:09:49I'm superstitious.
00:09:50I mean, it might work, it might not.
00:09:51But I'm superstitious, and I gotta try anything to try to turn it around.
00:09:54I then went to church.
00:09:55I put a new suit on.
00:09:57I put my old suit on, my shoes on, you know, when I was winning.
00:10:01So none of that worked.
00:10:02So I had to try something drastic.
00:10:04So I went up there, and I told Disco to trade me.
00:10:06And I did feel bad for doing it, because he picked me first.
00:10:09But right now, I'm going backwards, and I have to make a change.
00:10:14And that was it.
00:10:15If I do get my running right...
00:10:17Yeah, that's what we're all banking on here.
00:10:19I'm banking on that too, but that ain't happening yet.
00:10:22All right, there you go.
00:10:23Come on.
00:10:24Secondary trade.
00:10:25Chuck for Jerry Bird.
00:10:27You go to Team Ryan Martin.
00:10:28We traded Chuck for Jerry Bird.
00:10:30This was tough for me.
00:10:31Chuck and I have been buddies for a long time.
00:10:33Goes back almost 10 years ago now.
00:10:35He's been struggling, and maybe being on my team is not making him better.
00:10:40Jerry's got a really fast car.
00:10:42I think that they've been struggling, and the pressure that is added to them to make it in makes it worse.
00:10:47He was the number one pick for a reason.
00:10:49So I'm going to make sure that he understands.
00:10:51No pressure.
00:10:52If you don't make it in, you don't make it in.
00:10:53It's not the end of the deal.
00:10:54Hoping that it'll take pressure off him to make the right decisions.
00:10:57Jerry, Chuck, welcome to your new homes.
00:10:59Jerry Bird, how do you go from last-faced team to tied for third place?
00:11:04He's trying to win that championship.
00:11:05God.
00:11:06Well, is there any other movement that needs to happen here?
00:11:08Mike.
00:11:09Everybody done?
00:11:10Mike.
00:11:1110,000 a day.
00:11:12Ooh, 10,000.
00:11:1310,000 today.
00:11:14Don't do it.
00:11:16Listen, no.
00:11:17No.
00:11:18It sounded like Murillo's not going to go for your trade.
00:11:20I'm sorry, man.
00:11:21All right.
00:11:22That does it.
00:11:24Wow.
00:11:25You can tell the competition is heating up now when one captain offers $10,000 to another captain for a single racer.
00:11:33But now, after all that, we know who's racing for what team going into round one.
00:11:37Even though neither Jerry nor Chuck made it into the main event today, I can see why that trade made sense.
00:11:44We're in the last part of the season, and these captains are trying to set themselves up to get as many points as possible.
00:11:50Wow.
00:11:51That's probably the reason why Kai Kelly was willing to put up so much money for Scott Taylor.
00:11:57We're all our new guys.
00:11:59I made a bunch of trades.
00:12:00We're all our new guys.
00:12:03What was that all about?
00:12:04I got to do it on the end of it.
00:12:05Hey, .
00:12:07Well, Jerry, what happened?
00:12:09He's like, I got to do something different, dude.
00:12:10This ain't working.
00:12:11This 10 races in.
00:12:12I got to do something to switch it up.
00:12:13It ain't us that's been holding him back.
00:12:15I know.
00:12:16I know.
00:12:17I didn't want Jerry to leave inside.
00:12:19You know, he was my number one draft pick.
00:12:21I didn't want him to go anywhere.
00:12:23But I understand where him and his brother are.
00:12:25They've done everything to try to win.
00:12:28It's doing nothing from him leaving my team to going Ryan's.
00:12:32So now, we've got Chuck Seitzinger on the team.
00:12:34All right, folks.
00:12:35Again, there is 32 drivers.
00:12:37Every driver has to pull a chip out of the bucket, so there will be a brief pause as they get their chips.
00:12:42The matchups are set for round one, and there are a couple interesting draws.
00:12:57Kai Kelly ended up drawing his new teammate, Clay Cole, which means one of those drivers will go home only getting 10 points today.
00:13:04That's good news for the other teams, as this is a chance for them to gain ground.
00:13:09And there's also another matchup between Damon Merchant and Jim Howe.
00:13:13And there's no secret that those two guys do not like each other.
00:13:16There's been a lot of smack talk on the internet.
00:13:18Jim Howe seems to think that Damon Merchant is cheating, and he's been whining about it.
00:13:23So Damon Merchant is coming back with, he's not cheating.
00:13:26It's a typical he said, he said, they raced once back in New Hampshire, and Damon was able to get that win.
00:13:31But we'll see what happens here.
00:13:33Coming at you right here, and that is going to be Giuseppe going up against Brandon James.
00:13:40Can I lube this?
00:13:43Hey.
00:13:44So first pair, we drew Giuseppe.
00:13:48To be honest, it didn't matter who we drew.
00:13:50I knew that we had to go fast to be able to go rounds today.
00:13:52And at the end of the day, if I want to win one of these, I've got to beat everybody, so.
00:13:56You got the air on?
00:13:57No, I just checked the chutes.
00:14:00Make sure CO2 is good.
00:14:02I'm for sure, I'm tired of going out first round, to be honest.
00:14:05Everybody this year has gotten so much better that you can't make any mistakes.
00:14:09And that's all we've been doing is making mistakes.
00:14:11We've got to get the program together.
00:14:12So we're going to try to go some rounds, at least today, and get out of there where I don't have to worry about it anymore.
00:14:25Rattle out of the box, coming at you right here, over in the left lane.
00:14:27That is going to be Giuseppe.
00:14:29Giuseppe in the left lane, going up against Brandon James in the right.
00:14:42Rattle out of the right lane.
00:14:43Rattle out of the right lane.
00:14:44Coming at you right here, and that is going to be Giuseppe, going up against Brandon James.
00:15:01Oh, and Brandon James takes the win.
00:15:18Giuseppe out of the gas before the finish line.
00:15:21Brandon James gets the win and will move on to the next round.
00:15:24Hell yeah, baby!
00:15:25All right, folks.
00:15:26Here we go.
00:15:27Second pair.
00:15:28We've got Tony McKinney going up against Lizzie Musi.
00:15:32We got us all in?
00:15:33Yeah, yeah.
00:15:34You got us all in.
00:15:35We were already all in.
00:15:36Well, all right.
00:15:37So I did my job.
00:15:38You got us all in.
00:15:39I did my job for a change.
00:15:40So Lizzie has us right now.
00:15:42She's beat us four times in a race, so it's nerve wracking.
00:15:45And you know you're going up with somebody who's a real good competitor.
00:15:47You know, there was a bunch of things going through my head.
00:15:50My crew calmed me down.
00:15:51Let's see if we can't get this.
00:15:59Lizzie Musi made it to the finals of last night's Grade 8,
00:16:02but her last two passes have resulted in fireballs coming out of the hood on the big end.
00:16:07She's got a good crew behind her that supposedly fixed the problem,
00:16:10but this will be her first pass since that happened.
00:16:17And Tony McKinney will take the win.
00:16:41Lizzie Musi has to get out of the gas.
00:16:43All right, folks, next pair coming up,
00:16:45going to be Axman going up against Ryan Martin.
00:16:51Just take it right there and just tap it.
00:16:53You know what I mean?
00:16:54So it's Invitational Day in Ohio.
00:16:56Saturday, the big day.
00:16:58We got the great car back.
00:16:59That's the car that's won a lot of races for me.
00:17:01It ran good last night.
00:17:03Now it's about making good tune-up decisions for today.
00:17:06Go ahead.
00:17:08Yeah, just hit that.
00:17:10Yeah, that'll work.
00:17:12This track's going to be really good, but if we get past first round,
00:17:15I feel pretty good about the day.
00:17:16I haven't had a season win.
00:17:18So hopefully at the end of the day, I can be in the finals.
00:17:21What's up, baby?
00:17:22Come on, hop in.
00:17:23I believe every race I think about calling him out,
00:17:26because I'm like, I just want to race him,
00:17:28because eventually I may get him.
00:17:29Here you go.
00:17:30But it never works out for him.
00:17:32I drew one bad man, Ryan Martin.
00:17:35He has had it out for me.
00:17:37Like, he's beat me at every race I think I've ever been in.
00:17:40It's been rough.
00:17:42Hopefully we can make this time difference.
00:17:44I want some redemption on that.
00:17:45I want to get him back.
00:17:47Be safe, Ryan.
00:17:48See you, man. You too.
00:17:49Good luck, guys.
00:17:50So last night, the track seemed to be great.
00:17:54But I had abandoned three runs last night.
00:17:57Axeman, the car makes a move towards the wall,
00:17:59has to get out of it.
00:18:00This car is not liking this track.
00:18:19Ryan Martin takes the win.
00:18:23Green light dropped.
00:18:24We took off.
00:18:25Axeman jumped out on me just a little bit.
00:18:26It'll look like maybe he spun the tires or something.
00:18:28But honestly, mine made a perfect pass.
00:18:29We needed that first round victory.
00:18:31I'm pretty stoked.
00:18:32The data looks good.
00:18:33So, providing we don't have anything stupid happen,
00:18:35we got a pretty good race car this week.
00:18:37Hey.
00:18:38Good race with you, homie.
00:18:39I didn't see you.
00:18:40I said, thank God.
00:18:41When it shook, I said, no way.
00:18:42Yeah, that sucks.
00:18:43All right, folks.
00:18:44Next pair coming at you right now.
00:18:45We got Clay Cole going up against Kai Kelly.
00:18:48Kai, I hope you and Jeff got something good in that
00:18:51dang old computer there, because, uh...
00:18:53We got the same thing we used on you last time, bud.
00:18:55You're going to need it.
00:18:56That ain't going to work this time, boys.
00:18:57It ain't?
00:18:58You're going to have to get something faster.
00:18:59One of us has got to go on and win this thing.
00:19:01I know.
00:19:02That sucks, man.
00:19:03I mean, literally, you helped me work on my car all night,
00:19:05and then we draw each other.
00:19:06Now I got no choice but to outrun you.
00:19:08At the end of the day, though, man,
00:19:10we just need one of us to advance.
00:19:11That's all that matters, yeah.
00:19:12And one of us is.
00:19:13Yeah.
00:19:14I just hope it's me.
00:19:15Last night, we stayed up till almost daylight.
00:19:17Clay Cole ended up hitting the wall
00:19:18right after the finish line.
00:19:20And Clay Cole.
00:19:22Oh!
00:19:23Oh, clear the starting line.
00:19:25Clear the starting line.
00:19:26Clay Cole into the wall at the top end.
00:19:28But his car made a really good pass.
00:19:30We helped him rivet his front end back together,
00:19:32because his front end was just destroyed.
00:19:33It was terrible.
00:19:34It had a four-foot gaping hole in it.
00:19:36We got it back together, and now I got him.
00:19:38You know, that's one of the guys I didn't want first round.
00:19:41You know, I don't want Clay to think be awkward or anything.
00:19:43I know he's new to my team, but I always told my team
00:19:46to race me as hard as you can race me.
00:19:48Because if I can't beat you, that means I can't beat the next person.
00:19:51So if Clay goes out there and beats me today,
00:19:53that'll be ten points going to my team anyway,
00:19:55and I'm good with it.
00:20:06And Clay Cole takes the win, puts Kai Kelly on the trailer.
00:20:21Didn't see that coming.
00:20:22Clay Cole knocks off Kai Kelly in the first round.
00:20:27All right, so me and Clay put him in the beams.
00:20:29You know, we were side by side for probably 100 or 200 feet,
00:20:32and he pulled on me in the middle a little bit,
00:20:34and I started pulling on him on the big end.
00:20:38He beat me by, I don't know, inches, a fender.
00:20:41You can't really tell at 200 miles an hour,
00:20:42but it was a hell of a race, and he kicked my ass.
00:20:45I helped him put his car back together to roll up there and kick my ass.
00:20:48But it is what it is. I'm not mad about it.
00:20:51It was a good side-by-side race, and that's what I live for.
00:20:53And I got a teammate moving around too,
00:20:55so it could have been me, it could have been him.
00:20:57It's the same amount of points no matter what.
00:20:59Next pair, that's going to be Rich Bruder
00:21:01going up against Cali Mills.
00:21:03Battle of the blower cars right here.
00:21:06Ready to go.
00:21:08You got to win.
00:21:10I got Rich Bruder.
00:21:12I'm going to go up there and do my job on the tree.
00:21:15But if I get him on the tree, I don't think he can really run me down.
00:21:18I think that my car is running pretty good right now.
00:21:20Vegas was really rough for us. We didn't make it down.
00:21:22We got one good pass last night once we got the car figured out.
00:21:30I think if we can make that pass again today and I can be on the tree,
00:21:33then I think we'll be fine.
00:21:34I think we'll be fine.
00:22:04And Rich Bruder is going to turn on the wind light there.
00:22:17Like Cali Mills got loose, they're going to get out of it.
00:22:19He had his foot in the beam and Cali staged with his crew member's foot in the beam.
00:22:36I mean, normal racing, that's a...
00:22:39When two cars stage, you have one car that will light the top bulb
00:22:42and then the other car will light the top bulb.
00:22:44Then they will move into the next beam, which is the bottom bulb.
00:22:48Once four bulbs are lit, the cars will get on the limiters
00:22:51and wait for the green light to drop.
00:22:53All right, your foot was in the beam.
00:22:55You can't do that.
00:22:56She staged with your foot in the beam.
00:22:58So...
00:22:59So who's my foot in the beam?
00:23:00No, no, listen.
00:23:01I'm telling you your foot was in the beam.
00:23:02While she's...
00:23:03While her light is in there, while she's in, right?
00:23:05You got to look over there because you stepped in while she lit.
00:23:07Now she thinks the car is lit.
00:23:08She thinks it was the car.
00:23:09If you look at the tree, make sure...
00:23:10So, I mean, if they start bitching about it...
00:23:12They could have disqualified.
00:23:13You could have been disqualified.
00:23:14Actually, you were supposed to be out.
00:23:16If they want to with it, they may.
00:23:18They may disqualify you.
00:23:19I'm just letting you know.
00:23:20This isn't the first time we've had to deal with something like this.
00:23:22Last year, Robin Roberts and Sean had the same type of issue happen,
00:23:26and we ended up rerunning that race.
00:23:28And that's what we're talking about doing here as well.
00:23:30That's on y'all if y'all want to...
00:23:32That's on y'all if y'all want to do that.
00:23:34Yeah, it's all right.
00:23:35That's all up over there, I'm sure.
00:23:37That's on y'all.
00:23:38She can at least get a rerun problem.
00:23:40Pull that thing off.
00:23:41We got us undoing these bolts.
00:23:43We came back, looked at the car.
00:23:45We popped the burst panel on the blower.
00:23:47We couldn't make the rerun.
00:23:48We had the blower off, and I came back here,
00:23:50and it dropped the valve, so...
00:23:52Oh.
00:23:53More damage than fixing it in 15 minutes.
00:23:55Yeah.
00:23:56I was gonna...
00:23:57We're gonna...
00:23:58I'll take the loss.
00:23:59You won that, and then I'll still get him.
00:24:00Well, thank you, guys.
00:24:01So we're on to the second round.
00:24:03Not exactly how it'd like to have been in the second round.
00:24:05All right, be good.
00:24:06Yep.
00:24:07Yeah.
00:24:08That big-ass foot out.
00:24:09We're being close.
00:24:11All right, next pair.
00:24:13And that's gonna be Chuck 55 going up against Disco Dean.
00:24:17Hey.
00:24:18Hey, you want the lead blower?
00:24:21No?
00:24:22We're good right now.
00:24:32My home state of Ohio, Dragway 42 in West Salem.
00:24:35So today we have Chuck 55.
00:24:37He's gonna be out for some vengeance
00:24:39because we ran in Vandermeer,
00:24:40and he knocked the tires off instantly,
00:24:42and I got the wind light.
00:24:43So I know he's gonna be on his A-game,
00:24:44and my job is to turn the wind light on in mine lane
00:24:47for my home state while I'm here.
00:24:49Going into first round, we drew Dean,
00:25:00and I'm pretty excited about that.
00:25:02I owe him one,
00:25:03because I gave him an easy one there in Denver,
00:25:05basically giving the race away.
00:25:07I want to make him earn it if they're gonna win it.
00:25:19Yeah!
00:25:29Hey, hey, that motor.
00:25:31Get the wind.
00:25:32Get the wind.
00:25:33That was that brand new motor.
00:25:34Yeah.
00:25:35They just put it in like right they did.
00:25:37Brand new.
00:25:38Hey, that's all right.
00:25:39That's all right.
00:25:40That's points.
00:25:41All right, next pair are gonna be John Odle
00:25:43going up against Larry Larson.
00:25:46Okay, bring the one from the back.
00:25:49I'll get these.
00:25:50You just bring me that one from the back.
00:25:53So, first round drew Larry Larson.
00:25:55I don't think I raced him this year.
00:25:56I raced him a few times last year.
00:25:58We know that car's fast.
00:25:59We feel like the track will hold some power.
00:26:01We feel like we got to tune in to win it.
00:26:11It's been an odd year,
00:26:12because I struggled so bad the last two years,
00:26:14and now I'm in a position where I'm the only one
00:26:16that's really going any rounds on this team.
00:26:18But I'm okay with the draw.
00:26:20I'm gonna start this five race deal out today
00:26:22and see if we can go to the final like we did last week.
00:26:24All right, next pair.
00:26:26That is gonna be Robin Roberts.
00:26:28going up against Justin Swanstrom.
00:26:32So, Brian got one.
00:26:36Your turn to get one.
00:26:38All right, next pair, that is going to be Robin Roberts going up against Justin Swannstrom.
00:26:57So, Brian got one.
00:27:00Your turn to get one.
00:27:03And get the one for the team.
00:27:08Keep marching forward.
00:27:09That's right.
00:27:10Round one, I draw Justin Swannstrom.
00:27:12We've been buddies for a while.
00:27:13We're on the same team for a while.
00:27:14But they're early.
00:27:16Like, we were 0-4 against Justin.
00:27:18So, the last couple times, we've been able to even that up.
00:27:20So, hopefully, we're going to do that again today.
00:27:28Me and Robin have raced a lot of times over the years.
00:27:32Car's running good right now.
00:27:34We've had all these issues of backfiring and doing all that.
00:27:36I think we finally have a race car.
00:27:59And Robin Roberts is going to get there first.
00:28:01Turn on that wind light.
00:28:02That was a close one.
00:28:04We went out there.
00:28:05I cut a good light.
00:28:07I was out in front of him.
00:28:08Car went into a tire shake and the gear changed.
00:28:11We just missed the tune-up.
00:28:13I hate to go out first round like this.
00:28:16It's the fifth race in a row.
00:28:17We are completely sucking it up and s***, but we're going to figure it out.
00:28:21Yeah.
00:28:22Good rest, man.
00:28:23Congratulations.
00:28:24You too.
00:28:30Next pair, that's going to be B-Rad, Brad Eglin, going up against Kayla Morton.
00:28:35At this point, like, it's our opportunity to kind of capitalize on some things.
00:28:52Lizzie's out.
00:28:53Kai's out.
00:28:53This is our chance to start lessening that gap and moving ahead in the top eight.
00:28:58I would love the Kayla Day final.
00:29:00That would be awesome if we pull ahead against Kai Kelly's team.
00:29:03And that's the ultimate goal here is to win and to leave number one in this team race.
00:29:22Kayla Morton going to take the win there in a close drag race.
00:29:26B-Rad had a great pass in the left lane.
00:29:27Next pair, that is going to be Paige Coughlin going up against Bobby D'Cody.
00:29:44We got Bobby and, you know, he's been around with the series for a while.
00:29:48And I knew this was going to be a good lineup for us.
00:29:50And we really just needed to kind of put our braids together and just go out there and rip the band-aid off.
00:29:54First round is always the most stressful.
00:29:56I mean, at least it is for me.
00:29:57I get so nervous.
00:30:15Next pair, that is going to be Paige Coughlin.
00:30:18I'm going up against Bobby D'Cody.
00:30:36Hey, H. Coughlin.
00:30:41Sorry, eating something up.
00:30:42Damn, he left on her.
00:30:46I saw him when we left, and then he slowly backed in a way.
00:30:49So I'm like, all righty, all righty.
00:30:51Just keep focused, driving it straight, keep it straight.
00:30:53Don't forget your shoots, because I was driving it pretty far into the run.
00:30:57And, oh, my gosh.
00:30:58And just seeing that Kayla won the round before me, it just made it even much more better.
00:31:03Just like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
00:31:06You know, we were going out first round, we didn't get to raise our way in one event, and we can't have that.
00:31:12And we were hungry, but today we were starving.
00:31:14Yes!
00:31:15Bitches!
00:31:17That a girl.
00:31:18Oh, we needed that.
00:31:19Yeah, we did that bad.
00:31:20Good job, baby.
00:31:21Oh, thank you.
00:31:22You too.
00:31:23All right, next pair, that's Jim Howell going up against Damon Merchant.
00:31:27I think it's to the point now that he's, like, got himself from talking so much stuff on the internet, like, he's probably willing to blow that so much up to outrun us right now.
00:31:35So we're about to get, we're about to see everything that car has.
00:31:38Yeah.
00:31:39Lo and behold, after all the talking and everything, again, we matched up with Jim Howell in the driver's meeting, we ended up putting him out in Vegas.
00:31:46You know, he's just trying so hard to piggyback off of us doing so good this year to be relevant still.
00:31:53You know, we broke the car against him last week, but the bottom line is I've not had a chance to run him when we were healthy.
00:32:11And right now we're healthy, so if we can go up there and make a good lick, I think that I can finally shut the big block Chevrolet down.
00:32:18Yeah, Damon and I have had some internet rivalry going on, and he's got a different persona online than he does in practice.
00:32:23So, uh, me, I'm just me all the time.
00:32:26It's no secret that Jim Howell's made some enemies out here.
00:32:29Keela Morton doesn't particularly care for him just because of the Mega Cash Days issue.
00:32:33And then Damon Merchant really doesn't like him because Jim insists on calling him a cheater every chance he gets.
00:32:38But in racing, you don't have to be friends when you pull the starting line.
00:32:42All right, who's gonna go in first? Both drivers sitting outside the beach.
00:32:51See the driver wanting to go in.
00:32:54See, all right, Jim Howell goes in first. Here we go.
00:32:58Hell yeah! That's how you do it! That's the first round! That's what you do!
00:33:14Practice head!
00:33:16Son of a bitch!
00:33:19I wait till it was fully illuminated, let go of the button. By then, he was already out on me, and I couldn't reel him in.
00:33:25We made a hell of a fast pass, so he just threw this kitchen sink at it and got around us today, and he beat us.
00:33:31Hey, Jim!
00:33:33you beating up on my teammates!
00:33:36He had it coming.
00:33:38You know what's funny is they act like I'm the one doing all the talking.
00:33:42They're the ones that never shut the up about it.
00:33:45He heard what he said. We act like they're the ones talking .
00:33:49We just answer it. We don't talk it.
00:33:52There we go.
00:33:55Hey, I was standing up there screaming louder.
00:33:59All right, next pair coming at you. Got Nate Sailor going up against Scott Taylor.
00:34:07Nate, how you feel today? It's race day. It's great.
00:34:10You've been doing this for one year.
00:34:11I feel fantastic.
00:34:13You give him five more years, he won't say that.
00:34:16This is like do or die for us. We need to, we're already gonna start down because we only have three drivers in.
00:34:22So we're gonna actually step down from tied in third to fourth place in this because Ryan's team's got four drivers in.
00:34:28So like we need to get our together.
00:34:31Now it's just our turn to go out there and put some wins on there, rack up some points and try and climb up that list again.
00:34:37We could win there.
00:34:44I mean, I have a tune up in it that could go 380. No problem. It could go stupid fast. We're gonna try to win this round.
00:34:53oot's
00:34:58What are you using?
00:35:00Once we got a win.
00:35:01coming up.
00:35:02Yeah, I think your棒 is totally fine.
00:35:06No problem.
00:35:08That's how we, that's the only one we got.
00:35:15Man, that's the only one we got.
00:35:21All right, next pair, and that is going to be Kyle Canyon
00:35:23going up against David Gates.
00:35:26Let's get out there and rip it today, man.
00:35:27Let's get something going.
00:35:28Let's get a win.
00:35:29As far as team points go, we're behind.
00:35:31Not a comfortable spot, but we got the cars.
00:35:33We got the team.
00:35:35This is our chance.
00:35:45Kyle took over the number one spot, and the team points.
00:35:49But it don't take but one race, and we can get that back.
00:35:53Kyle's team needs to go out first round,
00:35:55and then it gives us more chances for my team to go rounds
00:35:58and just keep racking up those 10 points.
00:36:13Oh, I think there.
00:36:15And that is going to be Kyle Canyon going up against David Gates.
00:36:34And David Gates gets there.
00:36:38Good job, guys.
00:36:39Good job, baby.
00:36:41Good job, guys.
00:36:42The win line, he'll move on to the second round.
00:36:44Let go of the button, about 330 feet.
00:36:47I've seen him out on me, and I was like, oh, girl, come on.
00:36:49Just be good to me just a little bit.
00:36:51Whenever I got about 450 feet, I started coming on with him,
00:36:54went around him, got the win line.
00:36:56That's a drag race right there, boys.
00:36:58That's a fast-ass car.
00:36:59I know it is.
00:37:00He's one of the best competitors I've
00:37:02ever raced with him for many years.
00:37:03Hey, getting that first-round win, that's always the best-round win to me to get past that first-round jitters.
00:37:13Now it's just to do my job, go out here and kill that tree, keep going rounds, get them points for Team Kyle Kelly and that 200,000, baby, because we work.
00:37:19All right, folks, next pair, that is going to be Joe, Dominator Woods, going up against Murder Nova.
00:37:28You're going to take your fellow 405 guy on, huh?
00:37:31,, damn it.
00:37:33Stop it.
00:37:34Sean?
00:37:34Stop it.
00:37:35Nice.
00:37:36What'd Dominator ever do to you?
00:37:38Stop it.
00:37:39Hey, he's beat me before first round.
00:37:42It's amazing winning the grade eights.
00:37:46I'm going into today's Invitational with confidence, you know?
00:37:49I got a fast car, it's been running good this weekend, and end up getting Dominator, you know?
00:37:55And as a friend and a teammate from the 405, I hate to draw him, you know?
00:38:01But I've got to go up there, I've got to do my job, and I've got to go rounds.
00:38:06We drew Murder Nova.
00:38:08He and I have raced together for what?
00:38:1020 years now?
00:38:12All I've got to do is my job, hopefully I've got a better tune-up in it than he does.
00:38:17You know he's out there to kick my ass, so that's what I've got to do to him.
00:38:31I'm not going to sleep until I get an invite win.
00:38:34It's amazing winning the grade eights, but I've got to get an Invitational, you know?
00:38:39I need to go five rounds, I need to win this.
00:38:42It's not even really about the money at this point.
00:38:44I mean, but absolutely, the money would go a long ways.
00:38:47It's about getting that win, getting that trophy, and the pride of being the few who've won one of these Invitational.
00:38:56All right, next fair, we've got Greg Chandler going up against Doc Love.
00:39:03We need to make sure that this car, nothing stupid happens against this race against Greg Chandler.
00:39:10I've got to have this win.
00:39:11I need those points.
00:39:12I need to go the next round.
00:39:13I got Greg Chandler.
00:39:14I took care of him last week and raced your way in.
00:39:15Nothing's a given.
00:39:16You know, all I got to do is do my job.
00:39:17The car's got to do its job.
00:39:18It's just got to go down the track, go down as fast as it's been going, and I'm pretty sure we can get it into the second round.
00:39:22Cool. Let's get this.
00:39:47So who you got first round?
00:39:48Doc.
00:39:49Doc.
00:39:51I've run him probably three times this year.
00:39:54Have you run him this year?
00:39:55I'm not running Doc any of you.
00:39:56Hey, I'm telling you, Doc's hitting a lick.
00:39:58You got to go A to B to beat him, right?
00:39:59Yes.
00:40:01You know, we're struggling.
00:40:02We're at the bottom of the list.
00:40:03We need to move it up.
00:40:04We ain't got the five races left.
00:40:06We really need to get some points on the board.
00:40:21Doc Love will take the win there.
00:40:27Nice job.
00:40:28Doc makes chicken ass.
00:40:29You got to get Doc credit.
00:40:30He's doing way better than me.
00:40:32We did swing for it, like I said.
00:40:35It just made it a little too hot.
00:40:36It rattled the tires, and he pulled away.
00:40:38There's nothing I can do.
00:40:40I just got outrun.
00:40:42Very, very impressed with me and my team.
00:40:43We did a good job.
00:40:44Killer job.
00:40:45All right, folks.
00:40:46Jeff Lutz going up against Daddy Dave.
00:40:51I rolled the whole way up here.
00:40:52I put my driving jacket on.
00:40:53I don't have my pants.
00:40:55Amateurs.
00:40:56Ah.
00:40:56First round driver's meeting.
00:40:58I draw none other than Daddy Dave.
00:41:00And we're 16th pair.
00:41:01There's enough room in there.
00:41:02I could ride in there.
00:41:05Right here.
00:41:07When you're last and it's hot out, you get all the rubber.
00:41:09It starts getting real greasy.
00:41:11The track's not as optimum as it would be first through 10,
00:41:15you know?
00:41:15So I'm not a fan of being that late in the day.
00:41:21All right, folks.
00:41:25This will be the last pair of the Invitational first round
00:41:28over in the right lane.
00:41:30That is going to be Jeff Lutz driving the Turbo GTO going up
00:41:35against Daddy Dave in the left lane.
00:41:38Dave driving the Pro Charge Audi.
00:41:41This is the second time we've paired up this season,
00:41:44and he kicked my ass the first time.
00:41:47And I'm actually looking for a little redemption
00:41:49and put him on a trailer first round.
00:41:50And Jeff Lutz takes the win there.
00:42:11Nice job, Jeff.
00:42:13Move on to the next round.
00:42:15First round for Team Daddy Dave was horrible.
00:42:17You know, I hurt my motor, X-Man hurt his, Kyle hurt his.
00:42:21So we have the two girls going into round two.
00:42:26Never thought I'd be standing on the shoulders of two girls.
00:42:29But these girls are devoted, their teams are devoted,
00:42:32and hopefully they can go some rounds.
00:42:34Love you, buddy.
00:42:34Thank you, man.
00:42:35The race with Dave went exactly how I planned it to go.
00:42:38And man, we whooped him, and we whooped him in big fashion.
00:42:41All right, round two.
00:42:43Here we come.
00:42:45We started the day with 32 drivers, and now we're down to 16.
00:42:49Both Sean and Justin Swanstrom's teams look great,
00:42:52as they have four drivers moving on to the next round.
00:42:55But the biggest shock of the day is Kai Kelly and Lizzie Musi are out.
00:42:59That leaves a lot of room for other teams to catch up to number one.
00:43:02All right, folks, that'll do it for an invitational first round.
00:43:05All right, y'all.
00:43:09Let's go ahead and draw chips.
00:43:11That's fine.
00:43:14I have to kind of change it up a little bit.
00:43:16Good job.
00:43:17Good job.
00:43:18Good job.
00:43:18Good job.
00:43:19Good job.
00:43:20Good job.
00:43:21Good job.
00:43:22Good job.
00:43:23Good job.
00:43:24Good job.
00:43:25Good job.
00:43:26All right, all my drivers have their chips.
00:43:28Here are my number ones.
00:43:29Going to be Clay Cole versus Kayla Morton.
00:43:34Number twos.
00:43:35Going to be Brandon James versus Paige Coughlin.
00:43:40Number threes.
00:43:41Going to be Tony McKinney versus Murder Nova.
00:43:49Number four.
00:43:50John Odom versus Nate Saylor.
00:43:54Oh, missed it.
00:43:55Number fives.
00:43:56Going to be Chuck 55 versus Jeff Lutz.
00:44:00Number six.
00:44:01Going to be Robin Roberts versus Ryan Martin.
00:44:05Not ideal situation there for team Ryan Martin.
00:44:08All right, number seven.
00:44:10Going to be Callie Mills versus Doc Love.
00:44:14Are we going on green?
00:44:16I don't know yet.
00:44:17I don't know yet.
00:44:18Okay.
00:44:19Just let me know.
00:44:20Which means my eighth and final race will be Jim Howe versus David Gates.
00:44:24Jim Howe versus David Gates.
00:44:26You're safe, sir.
00:44:27I love you, baby.
00:44:28All right.
00:44:29Drivers, you know who you're racing.
00:44:31You know what you got to do.
00:44:32Go back in the pits.
00:44:33Get your cars turned around.
00:44:34Bring them in the staging lanes.
00:44:35One of you is going to win $40,000 here today.
00:44:41Here we go.
00:44:42Second round.
00:44:43Clay Cole going up against Kayla Morton.
00:44:46We really need pass this round.
00:44:49He's fast.
00:44:50He's very fast.
00:44:53Okay.
00:44:54Let's do it.
00:44:55I'm ready.
00:44:56Do it.
00:44:57Man, that thing is ugly.
00:44:59Yeah.
00:45:00It's like a little ugly girl.
00:45:03It used to be pretty.
00:45:05Clay Cole is an absolute badass.
00:45:08He took Kai out.
00:45:09He wrecked in the wall last night.
00:45:11Stayed up all night long and fixed his car and it just made a hell of a pass.
00:45:14So not the ideal draw.
00:45:15We have to be on our game.
00:45:16Go up there.
00:45:17Cut a light.
00:45:18Give him a run.
00:45:19But in a team aspect, this is ideal.
00:45:21We have an opportunity to take a member of Kai Kelly's team out and close that gap.
00:45:25All right, so Kayla Morton does her burnout.
00:45:40Clay Cole tried to do his burnout.
00:45:41Something happened.
00:45:42Car dies.
00:45:43Round two, we draw chips.
00:45:44I get Kayla Morton.
00:45:45She's got a fast hot rod.
00:45:46But I did beat her in Bantamere, so I've got a little bit of confidence going into this round.
00:46:02We're going to put a better tune-up in it.
00:46:04Obviously, we went fast against Kai.
00:46:06We're just going to try to get faster.
00:46:07The track's getting better and better.
00:46:08So we're going to go up there and hopefully make a good solid lick.
00:46:32And Kayla Morton gets the first great drag race.
00:46:38Good job.
00:46:39Nice job.
00:46:40All right, next pair.
00:46:41We got Paige Coughlin going up against Brandon James.
00:46:45Oh, the sun.
00:46:48The sun.
00:46:50Oh.
00:46:51Oh.
00:46:52Every time.
00:46:53Every time.
00:46:54I'm glad I didn't get this one painted.
00:46:56So going up for round two, we draw Brandon James.
00:46:59You know, I've been watching Brandon.
00:47:00I mean, I think he's a great driver.
00:47:01He's got a nice car.
00:47:02But I think this is going to be another great lineup for us.
00:47:05We really need to turn on that wind light.
00:47:15I mean, me and Kayla, we got to keep this momentum going.
00:47:18We're the only two left on the team.
00:47:19And we got to carry that for sure.
00:47:21Paige Coughlin takes the win.
00:47:46Nice job, Paige.
00:47:52That thing was moving.
00:47:53I mean, we have this car going faster and faster every lap.
00:47:57I'm proud of you, boo-boo.
00:47:59Now we have Team Daddy Dave going in with me and Kayla.
00:48:03We just need to keep doing it.
00:48:04Good job.
00:48:05Great race.
00:48:07This next pair, that is going to be Tony McKinney looking to take out Murder Nova.
00:48:20Okay.
00:48:21We ain't going to.
00:48:23Tony McKinney, he's a wild card.
00:48:30He's been killing it the last couple of races.
00:48:33There for a while, he couldn't do anything right.
00:48:36He couldn't even race his way in.
00:48:38And now he's been hauling ass here this weekend.
00:48:41You can't take somebody like that lightly because he's got nothing to lose.
00:48:44He's going to go over there and he's going to throw the biggest tune-up he has in the car.
00:48:49And we're not going to underestimate him.
00:49:01Second round, we got Murder Nova.
00:49:02Murder Nova is flying right now.
00:49:04We just got to take that win from him and go on to the next round.
00:49:07That's what I'm looking forward to right now.
00:49:08Getting through this round, then I don't have to race my way in.
00:49:11If I can get this one win, I'm locked in for next week.
00:49:19We're going to take the win there.
00:49:21He will move on to the third round.
00:49:22Nice job, Sean.
00:49:23We pulled up there.
00:49:24I felt like I chopped the tree down.
00:49:25We put the tune-up in it that the track would possibly take.
00:49:29And it took it.
00:49:30All we got to do is take one race at a time.
00:49:34Uh, three left.
00:49:35You know?
00:49:36Let's go get this invitation to win.
00:49:37All right.
00:49:38Next pair.
00:49:39It's going to be John Odom going up against Nate Saylor.
00:49:47Nate, let's go.
00:49:48Take the answer.
00:49:50Next pair.
00:49:51Hey, let's go.
00:49:52We got to go.
00:49:53Let's go.
00:49:54We got to go.
00:49:55We got to go.
00:49:56We're going to go.
00:49:57We're going to go.
00:49:58You know?
00:49:59Yeah.
00:50:00We're going to be going.
00:50:01We're going to take it.
00:50:02We're going to go.
00:50:03You're going to go.
00:50:04It's going to be John Odom going up against Nate Sailor.
00:50:09Nate Sailor, here we go, baby.
00:50:10John, Jim, back or no?
00:50:12Not on me, no.
00:50:14No, not on myself.
00:50:16I just took a thou off of him for Jim and Damon,
00:50:19so he's trying to get it back on me.
00:50:21Woo!
00:50:22Got Bodie for $1,000.
00:50:24But as you know, I don't bet on myself.
00:50:26I don't think that's good luck, so I'm not going to do that.
00:50:29So I'm just going to go out, see if we can get this W here.
00:50:32You know, I drew Nate Sailor.
00:50:34He's been kind of up and down.
00:50:36We feel like our car is faster,
00:50:38so we feel like that's a good draw for us.
00:50:40And we just hope that, you know,
00:50:42as long as I do my job and hit the tree right,
00:50:44we feel like we'll be successful on the other end.
00:50:53We literally need to go rounds.
00:50:55Our team is, like, they're just down to me.
00:50:58Daddy Dave's team had two in.
00:51:00Murder Nova's team had three or four in.
00:51:03Like, Ryan Martin's team had two,
00:51:05but they drew each other, so that's good for us.
00:51:08But, yeah, we need to go rounds to collect points
00:51:10or we're going to start falling down that ladder
00:51:12and just getting towards crunch time here.
00:51:14So I'm going to do everything I can
00:51:15to make sure we've gained some points for our team.
00:51:17So let's keep us in this, baby.
00:51:38Oh, man, this car is a bad bitch.
00:51:49I can feel her carrying the tires for 400 feet,
00:51:52setting her down.
00:51:53It just feels, like, amazing.
00:51:54You beat me by a lot.
00:51:55I think you got me on the tree pretty good.
00:51:57Good round, man.
00:51:58That was a good round.
00:52:01All right, going to be a bye run for Jeff Lutz.
00:52:04Man, that worked out.
00:52:09That worked out for the best.
00:52:10I mean, yeah.
00:52:12If anybody, I mean, if anybody's going to get it,
00:52:15I want a team member to get it.
00:52:15I know.
00:52:16As soon as you said you were hurt, I'm like, oh, no.
00:52:18I draw Chuck 55.
00:52:20He's hurt.
00:52:21He blew it up in the first round,
00:52:23which is bittersweet for me.
00:52:24That means I'm going on to the third round.
00:52:26If you need anything, I got you.
00:52:28We got second round given to us.
00:52:30Jeffrey can swing for it.
00:52:31Let's see what it'll take,
00:52:33because whoever's left in the third round,
00:52:35they're going to be damn fast.
00:52:37So we got to be on our game and ready for it.
00:52:42I'm bummed out for Chuck,
00:52:43because Chuck's a good racer,
00:52:45and his is fast.
00:53:01All right, Jeff Lutz on a pass.
00:53:07Looks like the front tire's in the air,
00:53:09unable to steer.
00:53:10The car went towards the wall.
00:53:11Yeah, it wasn't bad.
00:53:12I had the lift.
00:53:13It was going a little right,
00:53:14but I got enough data.
00:53:17That was good.
00:53:19Junior will be happy with that.
00:53:21On to the third round, boys.
00:53:23This next pair is going to be a fast one.
00:53:26It's going to be Robin Roberts
00:53:27going up against Ryan Martin.
00:53:30Do good.
00:53:33Be safe.
00:53:34What's up, buddy?
00:53:35Sucks.
00:53:36My own teammate.
00:53:36I've raced him three or four times this year.
00:53:38It's like, you know,
00:53:39some years you just draw the same dude a lot.
00:53:41For some reason, it's me and Robin.
00:53:43But I've got to race him,
00:53:45so now, unfortunately,
00:53:46I have to turn the team thing off
00:53:47and try to go outrun him.
00:53:49Like, we just must be
00:53:52the worst chip drivers
00:53:53on the whole planet.
00:53:55It's terrible odds
00:53:56that we end up together,
00:53:57but, you know,
00:53:58if you're going to race
00:53:59and race together
00:54:00in an event like this,
00:54:01if you keep winning,
00:54:02eventually you're going
00:54:03to meet each other.
00:54:09When you race someone
00:54:10like Ryan Martin,
00:54:11you just,
00:54:12you got to give the car everything.
00:54:13You got to do everything
00:54:14you can to beat him.
00:54:15He's in a car
00:54:16that's still a little bit,
00:54:17they're still working with it
00:54:18to get it right.
00:54:19Ours is pretty solid,
00:54:21so that should give us an advantage,
00:54:22but we're not taking anything lightly.
00:54:24We're going to roll with this thing.
00:54:25This next pair is going to be a fast one,
00:54:32it's going to be Robin Roberts.
00:54:49Going up against Ryan Martin.
00:54:52All right, so Ryan Martin
00:55:18going to get the win.
00:55:19Robin Roberts, time's out.
00:55:20Oh, it didn't bump.
00:55:22No, it didn't bump.
00:55:23Oh, that's good.
00:55:24Good for us, bad for him.
00:55:27The car wouldn't roll.
00:55:28That's what it would,
00:55:29like, because you're bumping.
00:55:30Yeah, wouldn't roll.
00:55:31So, you know,
00:55:32we go to pull up
00:55:33and Robin lights the bulb first.
00:55:36You know, we kind of sit there
00:55:37for a little bit,
00:55:37he lights the first bulb,
00:55:38okay, no problem.
00:55:39So, I went ahead and grabbed
00:55:40both of the next two bulbs,
00:55:42waiting for him to come in.
00:55:44And I wait,
00:55:45and I wait,
00:55:46and I wait,
00:55:47and he never comes in.
00:55:48His light goes red.
00:55:49I put him on the train's brake
00:55:50and take off.
00:55:54He does a thing
00:55:55where he bumps in.
00:55:57For Robin,
00:55:57unfortunately,
00:55:58the bump feature failed for him.
00:56:00So, I got the automatic win,
00:56:01went and got the data.
00:56:02The pass was really good.
00:56:05We made a really good run.
00:56:06We knew he was fast,
00:56:07so we had it hopped up pretty good.
00:56:08So, I'll be able to go pull this data
00:56:10and figure out what to do
00:56:11for round three.
00:56:12Why do you think I'm going to bump?
00:56:14I don't know.
00:56:14I think we've got to do things
00:56:15to remove variables,
00:56:16and that's not good for us.
00:56:18The bumping?
00:56:19Yeah.
00:56:19I'm not a fan of it.
00:56:20I know.
00:56:23All right, next pair.
00:56:24We got Callie Mills
00:56:25going up against Doc Love.
00:56:28Calm down.
00:56:29Relax.
00:56:30We made it.
00:56:31I know.
00:56:32We made it.
00:56:33I drew Callie,
00:56:35who, as far as I can tell,
00:56:38has been struggling this weekend.
00:56:39I don't think she's made a good pass,
00:56:41or she has very few.
00:56:49Last time we raced Doc,
00:56:51he jumped,
00:56:52guessed the light.
00:56:55Got it,
00:56:56and I couldn't catch him.
00:57:00He called me a sore loser,
00:57:02so in the driver's meeting,
00:57:03I asked him,
00:57:05we shook hands,
00:57:05are we going on green?
00:57:07He shook my hand and said,
00:57:08I'll let you know.
00:57:10So, I own one,
00:57:11a big one.
00:57:12I'm going to get him back
00:57:13this round,
00:57:13for sure.
00:57:14All right,
00:57:38Callie Mills going to get the win.
00:57:40Doc Love goes red.
00:57:41I really did not mean to go red.
00:57:44I really did not.
00:57:45You were good.
00:57:45And I did not mean,
00:57:46I did not mean to double-ball you either.
00:57:48I'm so sorry.
00:57:49I could have sworn.
00:57:50I guess he went red.
00:57:52We went out there
00:57:53and still did the same old deal.
00:57:55Oh, well,
00:57:55we got the win.
00:57:56That's all that matters, right?
00:57:57Well,
00:57:57I got lucky one round,
00:57:59so now it's time for us to be good.
00:58:01We got lucky again.
00:58:02Last pair here,
00:58:04the Invitational Class,
00:58:06Jim Howell,
00:58:07going up against David Gates.
00:58:09What do you think?
00:58:10I think the racetrack's very similar.
00:58:13Just going to work on the middle.
00:58:17Work on the middle
00:58:18and let the,
00:58:19let the engine run better out back.
00:58:22Round two,
00:58:23they're going to duck out of the 32.
00:58:24Jim Howell's fast.
00:58:26He's got a badass program.
00:58:27A lot of people don't like him.
00:58:28He's got it figured out.
00:58:29He does really well,
00:58:30so we know we got our work cut out for us,
00:58:32but he also knows
00:58:33when he gets up against us,
00:58:34he's going to have a competitor
00:58:35that ain't got no quid in him.
00:58:36We're going to go out there
00:58:37and give him hell.
00:58:45Out of Team Kyle Kelly,
00:58:46I'm the only one still standing.
00:58:47There was only four of us in today.
00:58:49But at the end of the night,
00:58:50we got championship points
00:58:51towards that $200,000
00:58:52and that trophy in our hand.
00:59:00We had an oil line fail.
00:59:23So, you know,
00:59:24how many licks does it take
00:59:25to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?
00:59:26I don't know,
00:59:27but one less run than this
00:59:29is how many we need
00:59:29to put on these oil lines.
00:59:30The silver lining in this is,
00:59:32had this happened at 400 foot,
00:59:34500 foot,
00:59:36600 foot down the racetrack,
00:59:38we would have probably wrecked a car.
00:59:39David Gates,
01:00:04nice pass there,
01:00:05going to take the wind light.
01:00:06Hey, y'all got like a mop or something?
01:00:08Better it happened here
01:00:10than out in the middle of the racetrack.
01:00:11That would have been horrible down there.
01:00:13Round two is in the books
01:00:15and that leaves eight drivers left
01:00:17in the competition,
01:00:19including two from Team Murder Nova
01:00:21and two from Team Daddy Daddy.
01:00:23Kayla Morton and Paige Coffman
01:00:25are carrying the boys
01:00:26on their back this weekend
01:00:27and showing no signs of slowing down.
01:00:29And Ryan Martin's gray car
01:00:30is still in the event.
01:00:32It is anyone's race to win.
01:00:33All right, folks,
01:00:38so we're going to go ahead
01:00:38and draw chips now.
01:00:41There's a few people that do that.
01:00:43Nobody here explained to me
01:00:44why that makes sense.
01:00:44Why, what makes sense?
01:00:45Bumping in with a blower card.
01:00:46They tried to get me to do that
01:00:48and I was like, absolutely not.
01:00:49That's the worst part
01:00:50of having a turbo card.
01:00:51Why would you want to bump in?
01:00:53I mean, I don't bump either,
01:00:54but he does.
01:00:56All right, where are my number ones?
01:01:01All right, Nate Saylor
01:01:03versus Kayla Morton.
01:01:07All right, number two,
01:01:08step forward,
01:01:10going to be David Gates
01:01:11versus Callie Mills.
01:01:13Be safe.
01:01:14David Gates versus Callie Mills,
01:01:15second pair.
01:01:17Third pair.
01:01:19Oh, God.
01:01:19Paige Coughlin
01:01:21versus Murder Nova.
01:01:24Paige Coughlin
01:01:25versus Murder Nova.
01:01:25She said, oh, my God,
01:01:26this is so cool.
01:01:27Paige.
01:01:28Paige, why'd she go,
01:01:29why'd she go,
01:01:30oh, God.
01:01:31Yeah, she goes.
01:01:31I can't believe it.
01:01:33I'm racing Murder Nova.
01:01:35That's awesome, right?
01:01:35You're going to have to work
01:01:36on that a little bit.
01:01:37That is awesome.
01:01:38You know what?
01:01:38Sorry, folks,
01:01:39Paige Coughlin a little excited.
01:01:40She's racing Murder Nova right now.
01:01:41That's cool.
01:01:42She's fangirling down here.
01:01:43Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:01:44You know, it's all good.
01:01:45All right, our fourth and final pair
01:01:47will be Jeff Lutz
01:01:48versus Ryan Martin.
01:01:50Drivers, you know who you're racing.
01:01:52You know what you got to do.
01:01:53Go back in the pits,
01:01:54get your cars turned around,
01:01:55bring them into staging lanes.
01:01:56One of you is going to win $40,000.
01:01:58Let's do it.
01:02:02Here we go.
01:02:03Nate Saylor
01:02:04going up against Kayla Martin.
01:02:06You got a hard one.
01:02:07I know.
01:02:08That car's hauling ass
01:02:09and Sean's hauling ass, so.
01:02:12And I'm hauling ass.
01:02:13There we go.
01:02:13Yeah, I know.
01:02:14At this point,
01:02:16we got one guy in.
01:02:18He's got the gun.
01:02:19It looks like really, really good.
01:02:20Oh, yeah.
01:02:20Did you see it carry the tires?
01:02:21It's carry the tires.
01:02:22Level up on there.
01:02:23Car just, car just working
01:02:24and it's running good.
01:02:26So I was just hoping
01:02:26you can just carry us in there, man.
01:02:28You got four big cheerleaders right now.
01:02:30I like it.
01:02:32Where's your pom-poms?
01:02:34They're right here.
01:02:35Black.
01:02:35Yeah.
01:02:37Round three,
01:02:38we drew Kayla Morton.
01:02:39We feel pretty good about it.
01:02:40They run the same setup we do.
01:02:41Tuner said he sped it up a little bit.
01:02:44I don't know how he could do that
01:02:45because it was carrying the tires
01:02:46so damn far,
01:02:47but I got to trust in him to do that.
01:02:49He does that
01:02:49and I can let go of a button,
01:02:51so we're going to put a hot tune
01:02:52up in the car
01:02:52and let her eat.
01:03:03Here we go.
01:03:04First pair in the third round
01:03:05for the Invitational Class.
01:03:06Going to be a good one.
01:03:07Over in the left lane,
01:03:08that is going to be Nate Saylor.
01:03:11Nate Saylor in the left lane
01:03:13going up against Kayla Morton
01:03:14in the right.
01:03:16Pro Charger on Pro Charger Crime
01:03:17coming at you right here.
01:03:33Here we go.
01:03:34Nate Saylor
01:03:35going up against Kayla Morton
01:03:37coming at you right here.
01:03:41and I have no handrail.
01:03:54You're not squ simming.
01:03:59Nate Saylor had to get the one,
01:04:00Kayla Morton crosses over into his lane.
01:04:02It is lame.
01:04:05Damn, that girl.
01:04:06That bitch is wheelie as hell.
01:04:07Yeah, that is getting it.
01:04:10Damn, she had oil on her tires.
01:04:11She had oil on her tires.
01:04:14Damn.
01:04:16It's gonna blow on the burst panel out
01:04:19and probably ate the blower.
01:04:21That's just a guess.
01:04:22It didn't, like, kick your rods out.
01:04:24It blew the burst panel out and probably smoked a few pistons.
01:04:30We got a race car.
01:04:34Whoo!
01:04:35Man, this round was badass.
01:04:37We knew they were fast.
01:04:38We raced them last night, let go of the button,
01:04:41and honest to God, never saw or heard her.
01:04:44I think the car wheelied almost the whole eighth mile
01:04:47from start to finish.
01:04:48Probably the fastest by far pass I've made in that car
01:04:51since I've owned it.
01:04:52Uh, my note says, run it on the edge.
01:04:56That was on the edge.
01:04:57I know.
01:04:58Chase's little sticky notes on his computer before passes,
01:05:01and that said run it on the edge.
01:05:03I think we just tipped the edge.
01:05:04Yeah, yeah.
01:05:05That was over the edge.
01:05:06Over the edge.
01:05:07Over the edge.
01:05:08Uh, the motor said she don't want no mo.
01:05:11All right, next pick.
01:05:13That is going to be Callie Mills going up against David Gates.
01:05:17Man, I feel great.
01:05:19I feel like we're going to the third round,
01:05:21and we need to get past it and get to the finals.
01:05:28Keep right on moving.
01:05:30I'm going to do my part as a driver.
01:05:31I'm going to do my best to cut a good light,
01:05:33drive it to the other end, get the wind light,
01:05:35get into that 40,000, and then points for Kai Kelly.
01:05:38Since we're the last man standing,
01:05:39we're going to try to represent for him,
01:05:40because he's toted us in times like this.
01:05:42I feel like I'm going to try to tote the team at this time
01:05:44and keep going around and get that wind tonight.
01:05:47And Adam's going to smoke a cigar,
01:05:48and we're going to drink a cold beer.
01:05:57I think if we can get the car to go straight,
01:05:58I think it definitely will win.
01:06:00I think that it could win the whole race
01:06:02if it would just act right.
01:06:03But I don't know.
01:06:05We're going to see.
01:06:06I'm feeling good.
01:06:07You know, there's a reason why he's on this car.
01:06:09So why stop now?
01:06:14And Callie Mills gets the win.
01:06:32Nice job, Callie Mills.
01:06:35All right, next pair,
01:06:37that's going to be Paige Coughlin going up
01:06:39against Murder Nova.
01:06:41Who'd you draw?
01:06:44Murder Nova.
01:06:45Are you excited?
01:06:46I'm so strong.
01:06:47Like fangirl excited?
01:06:48Yes.
01:06:49No.
01:06:50We're going into round three.
01:06:51We drew Murder Nova.
01:06:52And I'm thinking to myself,
01:06:55oh my gosh,
01:06:56one of my favorite people to watch growing up on the show
01:06:59and named my first race car after him.
01:07:02And I don't even know if he knows that,
01:07:03but it's true.
01:07:04I had a little fangirl moment.
01:07:05So why don't you take it easy on Sean,
01:07:07because you're...
01:07:08No.
01:07:09You got a man crush on you?
01:07:11I just think it's so cool.
01:07:13Like...
01:07:14I never thought in a million years...
01:07:15Let's knock his head plumb off his shoulders.
01:07:17Let's do that.
01:07:18All right.
01:07:19Okay.
01:07:20I'm not going easy.
01:07:21I'm not scared.
01:07:22I'm going to give him a run for his money no matter what.
01:07:24No matter who wins,
01:07:26this is going to be so badass.
01:07:29Good?
01:07:30Yeah.
01:07:31Yeah.
01:07:32I'm so excited.
01:07:33Round three, we go up, we drop Paige.
01:07:35She is fairly new to this.
01:07:37I know she can cut a light.
01:07:39I know that she's been racing for a long time,
01:07:41and she knows what she's doing.
01:07:43It's like everybody else out here, man.
01:07:45Good luck.
01:07:46Be safe.
01:07:47When the helmet goes on, though, it's game on.
01:07:48No doubt about it.
01:07:49No doubt about it.
01:07:50I'm ready to race.
01:07:51I believe we have passed Team Bodhi,
01:07:54and we're right there with Ryan.
01:07:56We still have two in, me and Jeff,
01:07:58and Ryan only has himself in.
01:08:01So I think we're one round behind him,
01:08:04but if we can continue on,
01:08:06we're right there on his heels.
01:08:08It's been a good weekend for Team Murder Nova.
01:08:11And Burner Nova is gonna take the win.
01:08:31Paige Coughlin tried the best she could.
01:08:34Car made a move towards the wall,
01:08:36had to get out of it.
01:08:37That's right, baby!
01:08:40We knew that the track was cooling off.
01:08:42We knew that everything was getting better,
01:08:44and we put a pretty big dog tune-up in it.
01:08:47I focused on the light like usual.
01:08:49I let go of the button.
01:08:51I saw her right there with me for a little bit,
01:08:54and then after that, I didn't see her.
01:08:57Team Murder Nova has killed it this weekend.
01:09:00Me and Jeff are still in it.
01:09:02We have a chance at going to the finals together.
01:09:05Are you good? Are you good?
01:09:06That is so cool.
01:09:07Good job.
01:09:08Oh, my God, thank you.
01:09:09You deserve it.
01:09:10You deserve it. Good job.
01:09:11So the two girls are the only ones
01:09:13that advanced on the team today.
01:09:15Each up went to the third round,
01:09:17where they both collected 30 points apiece for the team.
01:09:20So this event has proven to be crazy.
01:09:23There's a lot of hurt motors.
01:09:24A lot of people blowed up.
01:09:26A lot of teams have moved positions on the race
01:09:28to win the championship.
01:09:29Sean's moving up.
01:09:30He's going into the semifinals right now.
01:09:32Kyle's Kelly team is completely out of it.
01:09:35So this event has been wild.
01:09:38Jeff Lutz going up against none other than Ryan Martin.
01:09:44Man, I've been watching Ryan's runs.
01:09:47He's running pretty good.
01:09:48So are we, though.
01:09:49All right.
01:09:50I'm going to get in.
01:09:51Love you, buddy.
01:09:52Be safe.
01:09:53Round three, I got my buddy Jeff Lutz.
01:09:55Jeff and I have raced quite a bit.
01:09:56We haven't raced in a while.
01:09:58His car looks like it has been running pretty well.
01:10:00But I did see him having to abort his last run
01:10:04because he went to the right.
01:10:05So we made a really fast pass last night.
01:10:08We're going to take that tune up,
01:10:09and we're going to use that against Jeff.
01:10:27Hey, Jeff Lutz gets the win.
01:10:29We're going to win.
01:10:30Ryan Burton's .
01:10:31Damn.
01:10:32I can shut off.
01:10:33Before .
01:10:34Come on, Jeff Lutz.
01:10:35Damn.
01:10:36That is it.
01:10:37Growing up or screwing something up.
01:10:38Wow.
01:10:39Who won?
01:10:40Lutz.
01:10:41Lutz won?
01:10:42He beat Ryan?
01:10:43Yeah.
01:10:44Whoa.
01:10:45Me and Jeff are still in it.
01:10:46All of my guys had a good weekend, and we're stoked.
01:10:48You know, we're coming on strong on this back half charge,
01:10:51and as long as we keep it up,
01:10:53we still got a shot at this thing.
01:10:55That was a drag race.
01:10:57Now we are down to four.
01:10:59Team Murder Nova still holding it down
01:11:01with two drivers left in the event.
01:11:03Sean himself and Jeff Lutz have been making
01:11:05some extremely fast passes.
01:11:08But those two are going to have their hands full
01:11:10as Nate Saylor and Callie Mills still remain as well.
01:11:13All right.
01:11:14Let's draw chips.
01:11:15See who's racing who.
01:11:16It's Callie.
01:11:19That, nope.
01:11:20Yeah, that one right there.
01:11:21All right, guys.
01:11:24Is there one left?
01:11:25Is it a one?
01:11:26No.
01:11:27All right.
01:11:29Where are my number ones?
01:11:31All right.
01:11:35Nate Saylor versus Jeff Lutz.
01:11:37This will be the first time.
01:11:39Which means my second pair will be Callie Mills
01:11:43versus Murder Nova.
01:11:45All right.
01:11:46Hey, hey.
01:11:47All we got to do now is not it up.
01:11:49The teammates stayed away from each other.
01:11:50Now all you got to do is not lose.
01:11:52That's right.
01:11:53That's right.
01:11:54And you've got your all-team final.
01:11:55All right, y'all.
01:11:56Go back to the pits.
01:11:57Get your cars turned around.
01:11:58Bring them to the stage lane.
01:11:59Look.
01:12:00Like I said, one of y'all is winning $40,000.
01:12:01You made it this far.
01:12:02You're doing a great job.
01:12:03Keep it up.
01:12:04Let's go.
01:12:05All right.
01:12:06First pair coming at you right now.
01:12:09That is going to be Nate Saylor going up against Jeff Lutz.
01:12:13I mean .
01:12:14We're in the semifinals again.
01:12:16Two weekends in a row.
01:12:18With old reliable.
01:12:20Insane motor we've had for 13 years.
01:12:22Oh, my God.
01:12:23Yeah.
01:12:24Yeah.
01:12:25Isn't that insane?
01:12:26So we have not run Nate yet, so this might be a good, yeah.
01:12:30Yeah.
01:12:31I mean, I know Nate's fast.
01:12:33Sean said it a couple of races ago, man, we've got to get our together.
01:12:36Well, I promised him I was going to get my together, and we got our together, and so did he.
01:12:41So it seems like our whole team is just coming together nicely.
01:12:45Murder Nova's team is now in third place, which puts a lot of pressure on me to hold my team up, because if I can take Lutz out here, and Callie can take out Murder Nova, that'll put us in the final, and both of those teams out, and will give us an opportunity to make another round.
01:13:12We're going to do what we can do to do that.
01:13:14All right, so we're here in Kai Kelly's dojo, his toter home.
01:13:32This is Kai Kelly's beautiful mother.
01:13:34I'm her favorite driver.
01:13:35You can ask her.
01:13:36And Grammy's, I'm her favorite driver too, ain't I?
01:13:40So what we're doing here, I owe Kai Kelly some money.
01:13:42It's late in the day.
01:13:43It's already 1 o'clock, and I'm trying to pay Kai.
01:13:46So we're going to call Kai from his mom's phone to see if he answers, because he's been avoiding some people this morning.
01:13:54Does he need to sleep in?
01:13:55Did he get drunk last night?
01:13:56No, he worked on Clay Cole's car.
01:13:58Oh, he worked on Clay Cole's car.
01:13:59That's why he's tired.
01:14:00Watch out.
01:14:01Here he comes.
01:14:02Uh-huh.
01:14:03What did he say?
01:14:04He got to put some concealer on.
01:14:08That's why you wouldn't answer the phone.
01:14:10He back here putting concealer on.
01:14:12All right, so we got him.
01:14:17We got him.
01:14:18We got him up.
01:14:19We got him up.
01:14:20Now we can square up our finances.
01:14:22Hey.
01:14:25First bear coming at you right now is going to be Nate Sailor going up against Jeff Blunt.
01:14:31Let's get some fun.
01:14:32Yeah, man.

01:15:07our asses off for this good race brother I put five pounds in the nose that time because it was
01:15:16really in the whole track and I was like oh I'm gonna tame that down I think that was a mistake
01:15:20yeah I had to I had to board again good race brother you do whatever you want but I'm gonna
01:15:31probably tell you what you need to do against Sean what he's not gonna hold out he wants to go in
01:15:36first every race he wants to go in first okay but for me I go in last it doesn't bother me but I do
01:15:42know that you like to go in first so both of y'all are gonna be racing to see who can get into the
01:15:46bulbs first it's gonna be two races yeah he's be prepared for him to go in quick be prepared for
01:15:52him to do the same you're about to do you're about to double ball I think y'all are gonna double ball
01:15:55each other and I just don't want to you or him to get caught on both of them murder Nova's definitely
01:16:01stepped up his game he won two of the great eights including last night's great day so I know that
01:16:06I'm definitely gonna have to be on my a game for sure right lanes a little rough so I'm happy that
01:16:10you're in the left lane I've been in left lane all day nobody has went down to right lane yet you get
01:16:14out there probably around the three threats outside try to cut a light get out there in front and just
01:16:18stay out there because everybody in the right lane about 330 cars just washing out yeah Kelly is very
01:16:23very intelligent she's very capable of being able to beat anybody out here on the property she says she's
01:16:28comfortable the way she's got it going on so I said go ahead and rock out with it let's see what
01:16:32happens I hope she pulls off the wind and she can go on to the finals
01:16:43Callie Mills I raced her one other time this season she got me it was a really close race and I owe her
01:16:49one this is my time my car's running good right now I'm gonna put a tune up in it that I think it's
01:16:54gonna take to outrun her we're gonna go out there we're gonna let off the button and we're
01:16:58gonna see if it takes it
01:17:01she's the quickest to go in that I've had in the past two days
01:17:26my car kind of got out of shape just a little bit started driving towards the wall I was gonna
01:17:33ride it to the wall before I lift it I puckered up a little bit I you know and I thought we was
01:17:40gonna scrape the wall just a little bit at the finish line it was so close I wasn't sure who was
01:17:45gonna get the wind like it was so close I know I'm so proud of you but I wanted to say I'm proud of
01:17:51you like you guys are killing it out there you never gave up through all the years I'm tired of
01:17:57beating my head against the wall I know
01:18:01ready homie yeah brother you know what's badass I'm racing for Nova in the finals man I just it's
01:18:17sure look I'm probably gonna cry either way after my cry too when I give you a cry together yeah when
01:18:23I give you a hug at the other end there'll be tears flowing I promise no matter what happens I know
01:18:26it's me and Nate sailor in the finals and you know he's got the same combination as me I know what the
01:18:32thing's capable of I raced him twice last weekend I won one and he won one and it was two very close
01:18:38races so at this point man whoever gets more aggressive with the tune-up is gonna take this
01:18:43win I feel something weird in my back there you go it don't matter who's in the other lane really
01:18:50we're racing the racetrack I'm gonna put as much power in it that the racetrack can handle Sean's on
01:18:55a roll right now and he's got that momentum I plan on taking the wind out of his sail right quick
01:18:58Nate's really smart I'm sure he got a tune-up he's been rounds already got a tune-up to go real fast
01:19:11because right now is the time when you want your real fast tune-up let it all hang right now break
