00:00:00...and a lot of money flying around.

00:00:02Ooh!

00:00:05$10,000.

00:00:07And it paid off.

00:00:09Kai picked up Damon Merchant, who helped extend...

00:00:12...their points lead.

00:00:17Damon!

00:00:17And Damon Merchant will take the win there.

00:00:20Woo!

00:00:22Ryan ended up picking up Nate Saylor...

00:00:24I wasn't gonna do this, but then I heard Kai was gonna do it.

00:00:26...who won the entire event.

00:00:32Oh, it's Nate Saylor!

00:00:35Makes the noise for him, folks.

00:00:37It's the type of guy Mike is.

00:00:39Sean's been trying to get Scott Taylor for several weeks,

00:00:42but Mike Murillo was not impressed with Sean's cash offer.

00:00:46How much paper is it gonna take?

00:00:48$10,000.

00:00:49That's what the goal is.

00:00:50That's what top-tier people go for.

00:00:52Oh!

00:00:54Damn!

00:00:55Hey!

00:00:56You gotta wonder if we're gonna see more money

00:01:00flying around the pits this week.

00:01:07Here we go!

00:01:08Here we go!

00:01:10Here we go!

00:01:12Here we go!

00:01:28Here we go!

00:01:29Here we go!

00:01:30Here we go!

00:01:31Here we go!

00:01:32They eat a van.

00:01:36Thanks.

00:01:37Appreciate it, bro.

00:01:37Appreciate you.

00:01:38Thank you very much.

00:01:41All right, Gallant Motorsports Park, how y'all doing today?

00:01:47Y'all can do way better than that.

00:01:49I know it's Sunday, but let's try again.

00:01:51Gallant Motorsports Park, how you doing today?

00:01:56All right.

00:01:57That was better.

00:01:58All right, y'all.

00:01:59I appreciate you coming and spending your Sunday with us today.

00:02:03The weather is, you know what?

00:02:05It could be hot, and it's not hot today, so I am not complaining one bit.

00:02:09All right, a little bit of wind, that's okay.

00:02:11A little chilly.

00:02:12We got a lot of racing that is going to happen here today.

00:02:15You're going to love it.

00:02:16We're going to have a lot of fun.

00:02:20We are here at Gallant Motorsports Park, and it is time for the Invitational Race.

00:02:24For the first time all season long, each round is now worth points and a half, which means

00:02:30a racer wins a round, they now get 15 points instead of 10.

00:02:36Team Kai is coming into the event sitting on top of the leaderboard, but it is tight at

00:02:40the top.

00:02:41The gap between first and fifth is only 260 points.

00:02:45There are still enough points up for grabs for any of the top teams to make a run and

00:02:50take over that number one spot.

00:02:52And with the big name trade that Kai and Ryan made last week, I bet Sean is still thinking

00:02:56about how he can get himself Scott Taylor.

00:03:02So, we all know we got to do as well as we can with these points and a half.

00:03:06We got three races to either catch up or forget it.

00:03:09And at this point right now, we're getting left behind.

00:03:12Some of the teams are out of reach of this championship.

00:03:14We are not.

00:03:15Now is the time.

00:03:16So, we're going to do whatever we can to get Scott Taylor on our team.

00:03:19Last week, they wanted 10 for just Scott, and it just, it wasn't feasible.

00:03:25I offered 7,500.

00:03:26I think he's going to take that offer.

00:03:28We're going to have to come up with the money.

00:03:29Luckily, my team said that they'd all pitch in, so it's doable now.

00:03:33You're dropping dock.

00:03:35Got to, man.

00:03:36Yeah.

00:03:36Got to.

00:03:36Well, I get it.

00:03:37At this point, we have to make a business decision, and you can't think with your heart

00:03:41every time.

00:03:42Yep.

00:03:42You know what I mean?

00:03:45Got so much broken to pay for.

00:03:48I'll get it.

00:03:49No, and that's why I wanted to talk to you, because I didn't, I know that.

00:03:55Yeah, me moving don't necessarily help you, but it helps you financially.

00:03:59So, the trade with Scott Taylor.

00:04:03Man, that's a tough one.

00:04:05Scott wants to move on.

00:04:06You know, if he feels that's the direction that he needs to go to do better, with two races

00:04:10left, I understand.

00:04:11We've blown up three motors, so we could actually, you know, use some money.

00:04:14Our resources are limited compared to, you know, some of the other ones that are out

00:04:19here, which, which, that's nobody's fault but my own, but either way, we're not doing

00:04:23it for free.

00:04:24You know, I'm actually hoping maybe I can put Brandon on a good team also, you know,

00:04:28if they can go on a winning team and possibly win a championship.

00:04:30This is the second week we got Damon on the team.

00:04:36Hi, man.

00:04:36We're glad to have you, man.

00:04:37Good job.

00:04:38Glad to be here.

00:04:39Yeah.

00:04:40Sorry we ****.

00:04:40I'm glad to have him at the last invitation, because he, he helped me bail you guys out,

00:04:45so.

00:04:45So it's been a long, hard road, but I'm feeling good coming into this race.

00:04:51Our car was fast in the last race.

00:04:52I did go to the finals, though.

00:04:53We turned our luck around, so I'm looking for the uphill climb now, because we already

00:04:58went back to the bottom, and now it's time to come back up.

00:05:01It feels good to be this close to the championship.

00:05:03What sucks is, I've always been number two, so there was no stress, there was nothing,

00:05:07no pressure.

00:05:08You're just chasing that number one guy.

00:05:10But now, it's way worse being in the number one spot in these last couple races, especially

00:05:14knowing that people's going to be getting points and a half and double points.

00:05:17We've done good all year.

00:05:19We started off at the end of the year, me and David and Lizzie, toting our team.

00:05:22We stayed in first, and we picked up Jew.

00:05:24That was a big help.

00:05:26And then, right here in the end, I think we got the most solid team there is here, as long

00:05:32as we can keep things together.

00:05:34You got Ryan with a lot of momentum.

00:05:37Yes.

00:05:38And his team.

00:05:38And Nate.

00:05:39And you got point and a half, point and a half, and then double points.

00:05:42We need to stop Nate Taylor.

00:05:44Yes.

00:05:45I want us to win.

00:05:46Yeah, I mean, that's what we're here for.

00:05:52Oh, look at this.

00:05:52He got a Scott Taylor pin on.

00:05:55It's crazy.

00:05:57I like that.

00:05:59What's up, Scotty?

00:06:00Hey, man.

00:06:00How are you doing, buddy?

00:06:01Good, buddy.

00:06:01How are you doing today?

00:06:02Good to see you.

00:06:03Well, let's go ahead and start our captain's meeting.

00:06:05We do this before every race.

00:06:07Fine.

00:06:07It gives you your chance as a team captain to make changes or trades.

00:06:15Stabbed in the back all the way around.

00:06:17Everybody.

00:06:18It's awesome.

00:06:19And as always, we start with the team that has the most...

00:06:24Last place.

00:06:25Yeah.

00:06:25Nice sugarcoat.

00:06:26Yeah.

00:06:26Dean, any changes for you before this race?

00:06:31No.

00:06:31We're good.

00:06:33So no changes?

00:06:34No changes.

00:06:35Mr. Murillo.

00:06:36Something may be going on here.

00:06:37Is it going to happen?

00:06:38I don't know.

00:06:39Maybe.

00:06:39That's what we're here to talk about.

00:06:40Whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:06:40What do we got to do to get there?

00:06:41Oh, hey!

00:06:43Oh, my God.

00:06:45Is it going to happen?

00:06:46Yeah.

00:06:46Well, I don't know.

00:06:47We need one.

00:06:48Wait, how much is there?

00:06:49How much is there?

00:06:49Like $7,500.

00:06:50Where's the scooter?

00:06:51That's his deal.

00:06:53That's his deal.

00:06:53I told y'all that's between y'all.

00:06:55I think we're giving him like a $250.

00:06:57A $250?

00:06:58Yeah, a scooter.

00:06:59Is that the small one?

00:06:59Yeah.

00:07:00He didn't say what kind.

00:07:02No, I didn't.

00:07:02Now, see there?

00:07:03I think they come up on a pretty good agreement.

00:07:05Murillo wanted to pay $5,000.

00:07:07Murillo wanted $10,000.

00:07:08They met in the middle.

00:07:09Did $7,500.

00:07:09He even got me to chip in a Burmax scooter.

00:07:13So everybody's out of pocket a little bit.

00:07:14But hey, if I can go up to a team that's doing good

00:07:17and maybe learn something from my program, I'll be happy.

00:07:21Who are you trading for?

00:07:22I'm trading Doc.

00:07:24Doc?

00:07:24We didn't talk about that.

00:07:26I didn't hear that.

00:07:27Oh, yeah.

00:07:28No, we never talked about that.

00:07:29Doc was the guy.

00:07:30Doc was the guy.

00:07:31Now the money's stopped.

00:07:33Hold on.

00:07:34This is pretty funny.

00:07:35So close.

00:07:37Now, hold on.

00:07:37There's something else I want to talk about.

00:07:39I want to do, okay, I want nothing for Brandon,

00:07:42but I want Brandon to go also.

00:07:45Nothing for Brandon.

00:07:47Who else would you trade other than Doc?

00:07:49B-Rod.

00:07:51Okay, B-Rod and Doc and our deal here

00:07:55and Brandon and Scooter.

00:07:58This is interesting.

00:07:59It's a good deal.

00:08:01I wasn't expecting this at all.

00:08:03I didn't consider trading B-Rod yet.

00:08:08Well, Brandon James is already in.

00:08:10It is a no-brainer in my opinion.

00:08:13Sorry, B-Rod.

00:08:14I appreciate everything,

00:08:16but at this point,

00:08:17we have to have five people in at all times

00:08:20if we're going to have any shot at winning this.

00:08:23Yeah.

00:08:23Personally, I think it's a good deal.

00:08:25Oh, dang.

00:08:25All right, we got a deal.

00:08:27Okay, done deal.

00:08:28We got two new teammates.

00:08:29So, sorry, Doc.

00:08:30Doc, yeah, sorry, B-Rod.

00:08:33Yeah.

00:08:33I told him I'd let him race this way in today

00:08:35before I thought about trading him.

00:08:37To be in this series as long as I have been

00:08:39and knowing what's going on this year

00:08:41with the points, the teams,

00:08:43and the already trading

00:08:45and swapping of team players already,

00:08:47you have to be an idiot not to realize

00:08:49that at any given day,

00:08:51your weakest link could be trading.

00:08:53I like that pin.

00:08:54I like that.

00:08:54That's right.

00:08:55All right, Bodhi,

00:08:56you still have a couple guys on your team

00:08:58you have not sold.

00:08:59You've got...

00:08:59You've got Bowman and Bobby.

00:09:03No, no, no, I know.

00:09:04Bowman and Bobby.

00:09:05Uh-uh.

00:09:06And then, uh, no, no, no.

00:09:07We're good.

00:09:08Okay.

00:09:09Swanstrom.

00:09:09Uh, no, I'm good.

00:09:11Okay.

00:09:12Ryan.

00:09:12Yeah.

00:09:14No, I think we're good.

00:09:15I think I made a pretty big change last week.

00:09:17You did.

00:09:18Paid off.

00:09:18I paid off, yeah.

00:09:19So, we're good.

00:09:21Dave.

00:09:21Uh, I got Kyle back,

00:09:23so I got all five in.

00:09:24We're good.

00:09:25Kai.

00:09:27I'm good.

00:09:27Anything you'd like to share with the group?

00:09:29We got all five in.

00:09:30Good.

00:09:31All right.

00:09:32Points and a half.

00:09:33Points and a half.

00:09:34This is a pretty big race.

00:09:35This is the first race of points and a half,

00:09:37and if anybody's gonna make a push to the end,

00:09:40it really doesn't matter who it is.

00:09:41Me, anybody that's not in first place,

00:09:43this is where you start.

00:09:44All right.

00:09:45Well, that's all I got, guys.

00:09:46All right.

00:09:47All right.

00:09:47In the captain's meeting,

00:09:49we saw another big trade.

00:09:50Murillo put up Scott Taylor and Brandon James

00:09:53in exchange for Doc B-Rad $7,500 and a scooter.

00:09:57The big ticket items in the trade were very strange,

00:09:59but look,

00:10:00if these captains are trying to get their angle

00:10:02into this championship,

00:10:04this change could make a huge difference.

00:10:07Hey, we're glad to have you guys.

00:10:08Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:10:09Thanks.

00:10:09I'm happy to be here.

00:10:10We do still have a shot, though,

00:10:12especially with the points and a half today,

00:10:16next week,

00:10:17and then double.

00:10:18We got a real good shot.

00:10:20Still achievable.

00:10:20It's doable.

00:10:21We have to do well this weekend

00:10:23to still continue to have a shot.

00:10:25We need the Nates drawing the Kies.

00:10:28Ryan, Robin, Robin.

00:10:30Yes.

00:10:31Stuff like that.

00:10:32So we need some of them teams to go out.

00:10:34So we need some luck.

00:10:35Yeah, we need some luck

00:10:35and us running good at the same time.

00:10:37I think all five people on this team

00:10:39could win at any moment.

00:10:40I think so, too.

00:10:41That's a good thing.

00:10:41One of us needs to win this event this weekend.

00:10:43It would be nice.

00:10:45For sure.

00:10:47With the addition of Scott and Brandon,

00:10:49Team Murder Noah now has all five drivers

00:10:51in the event,

00:10:52leaving Team Murillo with none.

00:10:55So that trade is already working out for Sean.

00:10:58The top three teams in points,

00:11:00Team Kai, Team Ryan, and Team Dave,

00:11:02also have all five in,

00:11:04while Disco Dean, Bodie, and Swanstrom

00:11:07each have four.

00:11:07With this event being points and a half,

00:11:10every driver in the field will earn 15 points

00:11:12just for making it into the first round.

00:11:15But these captains know

00:11:16they've got to move as many drivers as possible

00:11:18into the later rounds

00:11:19in order to stay in contention for the championship.

00:11:23As you can see,

00:11:24we have a group of drivers here on the starting line.

00:11:27This group of drivers is the 32 drivers

00:11:29that will be competing for $40,000 today.

00:11:33There's 32 of them.

00:11:34These drivers are going to each draw

00:11:36a chip out of the bucket.

00:11:43Ow, damn it.

00:11:45You want me to pull you out?

00:11:46Let me pull you on out.

00:11:52Round one, there are a couple matchups

00:11:54to keep your eye on.

00:11:55Scott Taylor's going up against Kyle Canyon.

00:11:58Look, you've got to think Scott

00:11:59is really wanting to prove

00:12:01that he is worth

00:12:02the money and the scooter

00:12:04that was put up to get the trade.

00:12:07Then you've got Damon going up against Lizzie.

00:12:09Look, two new teammates,

00:12:11two heavy hitters

00:12:12going up against each other.

00:12:14And then we've got Kai Kelly

00:12:15going up against Axeman.

00:12:17Look, a lot of pressure on this race.

00:12:19Kai Kelly trying to keep his team in first place,

00:12:21and Axeman sitting on the second-place team.

00:12:26All right, folks.

00:12:28Invitational first round starts right now.

00:12:29First pair.

00:12:30That's going to be Rich Bruder

00:12:31going up against David Gates.

00:12:35First pair out.

00:12:36All right, he's coming now.

00:12:37Sorry, David.

00:12:37Don't matter.

00:12:38We got it.

00:12:40Round one, we got David Gates.

00:12:41First round's a tough round,

00:12:43and we've got to put a fast dude up in it.

00:12:44We can't take him late.

00:12:45So if we can knock him out on this round,

00:12:47you know, that'll allow us to get some more points,

00:12:49even though it's one-and-a-half points.

00:12:50So that's it.

00:12:51We've got to do what we've got to do.

00:12:55So far, buddy.

00:12:55Appreciate it, buddy.

00:12:56You too.

00:12:56You're safe.

00:12:57You know, we've got Rich Bruder.

00:12:59We're going to be first pair out down the left lane,

00:13:01and we're going to go out there,

00:13:03and we're going to let this thing go

00:13:04and get to the other end first,

00:13:05come back over here,

00:13:06service his old girl,

00:13:07cool her down,

00:13:07and be ready to go rounds today.

00:13:09The goal when we got here

00:13:20is to go win the thing,

00:13:22and after testing Friday night,

00:13:23I feel like we got the car to beat here this weekend

00:13:25along with our team captain, Kai Kelly,

00:13:27and we know where we stand at now,

00:13:29and the car's reacting to what we're doing to it,

00:13:31and I think at the end of the night,

00:13:32I hope to be standing here

00:13:33holding that trophy,

00:13:34drinking cold beer.

00:13:35All right, folks,

00:13:57the invitational first round starts right now.

00:13:59First pair, that's going to be Rich Bruder

00:14:01going up against David and Gates.

00:14:05And Rich Bruder takes the win.

00:14:24Great drag, Rich Bruder,

00:14:27turns on the win light.

00:14:30Ours got all out back.

00:14:32What did you do?

00:14:32It shook like a first car's out.

00:14:41Hard to be in the first pairs out.

00:14:45I'm about ready not to be any pairs out.

00:14:49All right, folks,

00:14:50next pair coming up right now,

00:14:51you're going to have Bodie

00:14:51going up against Kayla Morton.

00:14:54Okay, so we had some issues on Friday,

00:14:56worked really hard to get it back together.

00:14:58The next three races are extremely important.

00:15:02Yeah, points and a half.

00:15:04Points and a half,

00:15:04and then double points.

00:15:06It is invitational day.

00:15:08It's a very important day

00:15:09because we do have points and a half.

00:15:10You can't help but be a little nervous

00:15:12in these situations

00:15:13just because points and a half

00:15:14can make you or break you.

00:15:16I definitely have a little bubble guts today.

00:15:18So it'll be a driver's wheel race

00:15:20and a tuner's computer race.

00:15:22Yes.

00:15:22It's definitely a different track

00:15:23and we tend to thrive on off-the-trailer races

00:15:27and I like our chances here.

00:15:29Cool.

00:15:30Let's go do it.

00:15:30We drew Bodie round one,

00:15:32which is a pretty solid draw.

00:15:34Chase always tells me,

00:15:35draw good before I go

00:15:37and I think we did just that.

00:15:38Team got four in, man.

00:15:49Everybody's car seems to be running good.

00:15:51We got some momentum going, man.

00:15:53I know I got a tough fight,

00:15:54but I feel good, man.

00:15:55I got the right lane.

00:15:56I liked it.

00:15:56I wanted it.

00:15:57So I'm ready to go out there

00:15:58and show what this car can do.

00:15:59And Caleb Morton will take the win there.

00:16:26Nice pass right down through there.

00:16:27Bodie, he might have had to pedal there.

00:16:31Round one is always the most nerve-wracking,

00:16:33so I'm really glad to get that over with.

00:16:35We had a lot of problems on Friday

00:16:36that we had to fix,

00:16:37so I'm glad she's back together

00:16:39and she's healthy.

00:16:40And honestly, I was a little worried

00:16:41about Bodie guessing,

00:16:42but he didn't.

00:16:44And yeah, on to round two,

00:16:45so it's smooth sailing now.

00:16:47All right, next pair coming up right now,

00:16:49we got Chuck Sitesinger

00:16:50going up against your Great Eight winner,

00:16:53Nate Saylor.

00:16:55Well, we finally got that monkey

00:16:57off our back.

00:16:58Yeah.

00:16:59I wanted that Great Eight badly.

00:17:01Badly.

00:17:03We just got off the Great Eight last night.

00:17:04We got our first Great Eight win.

00:17:05We're super jacked about that.

00:17:07We got a badass car right now.

00:17:09This thing's flying.

00:17:10We're ready for the invitation today

00:17:11to collect some points.

00:17:12Everything should stay the same.

00:17:14We got the new pushrods in,

00:17:15and we got more room on our table

00:17:17for another trophy,

00:17:19so I really want to do that today.

00:17:20And this track's fast.

00:17:22Today's point-and-a-half, Dave,

00:17:24so with five guys going rounds

00:17:26from our team,

00:17:27we can shorten that gap up.

00:17:28Like, we can make that gap disappear today.

00:17:30So that's our plan.

00:17:31That's what we're going to do.

00:17:32Anything any one of these guys needs,

00:17:34whatever I have is theirs.

00:17:35This team is ready to back each other,

00:17:37and we're ready to win this championship.

00:17:38I had a mishap on Friday.

00:17:52We torched a boater.

00:17:53We broke two rods.

00:17:54I made it in the invitational.

00:17:55Then I draw Nate Saylor.

00:17:58Like, probably the fastest guy

00:18:00out of the parking lot,

00:18:01but you can't win this invitational

00:18:02without going through the best.

00:18:03So, uh, whether I'm racing first round

00:18:05or the last round,

00:18:06you've got to beat him

00:18:07in order to win this $40,000,

00:18:08so, hell, bring it on.

00:18:28And Nate Saylor will take the win there.

00:18:30Nice pass for Nate.

00:18:32He'll move on the next round.

00:18:33That just took whatever he gave it,

00:18:35so it did, didn't it?

00:18:40I was honestly afraid

00:18:41he was going to jump on me

00:18:42just because he's kind of known for that,

00:18:44and he didn't.

00:18:45He made it a fair race.

00:18:46We turned on the green light.

00:18:48It went right down the line,

00:18:49and she's solid today,

00:18:50so we got a good race car.

00:18:52Hey, hey, go win this

00:18:53whole thing, man.

00:18:55Good job.

00:18:55You've been doing great

00:18:56the last couple weeks.

00:18:57Thanks, brother.

00:18:57I like it.

00:18:59All right, folks,

00:19:00next pair,

00:19:01Tony McKinney versus Clay Cole

00:19:02coming at you right now.

00:19:14I drew Tony McKinney.

00:19:15Today's a Points and a Half event

00:19:17is huge for us.

00:19:18We've got all five

00:19:19of our team members

00:19:20in the event.

00:19:20We've all got to perform.

00:19:23We've at least got to go two rounds.

00:19:24As long as we're

00:19:25one, two, three, four, five,

00:19:26that's all I care about.

00:19:40So we weren't able

00:19:42to race our way in.

00:19:42We found some issues

00:19:43with the car.

00:19:44We should have found him earlier,

00:19:45but our schedule is so grueling.

00:19:47We don't have the time to test.

00:19:49We got Clay Cole.

00:19:50Clay Cole's fast.

00:19:52He beat me on the racer way

00:19:53in in Colorado,

00:19:54went on to make it

00:19:55all the way to the finals.

00:19:56So I owe him one.

00:19:58We're going to be one for three.

00:20:00I'll take it today if I can.

00:20:20And Clay Cole will take the win there.

00:20:34Nice pass for Clay Cole.

00:20:37Straight as an arrow there

00:20:38in that right lane.

00:20:39Great rip there for him.

00:20:41All right, folks,

00:20:44next pair coming up right now

00:20:45is going to be Greg Chandler

00:20:46going up against Mike Bowman.

00:20:48So I'm all pumped up today

00:21:03for, you know,

00:21:03racing Greg Chandler.

00:21:05We really need to make this happen.

00:21:06And, you know,

00:21:09we're getting near the end of the year.

00:21:10We're just going to look at

00:21:11one round at a time.

00:21:13We've got to race through this.

00:21:14And we've got a good hot rod.

00:21:16And we've just got to make it happen today.

00:21:18And Mike Bowman

00:21:37gets the win there.

00:21:38Greg Chandler has some issues.

00:21:40He's out of it by the 330.

00:21:41All right, folks,

00:21:42next pair,

00:21:43that's going to be Bobby Ducote

00:21:44going up against Robin Roberts.

00:21:46If it stays overcast at all,

00:21:48there are going to be

00:21:48some big, fast cars

00:21:49and fast numbers.

00:21:51All the fast guys

00:21:52will roll right up front.

00:21:53Round one,

00:21:54I drew Bobby Ducote.

00:21:55He's a wild card.

00:21:56He can be fast,

00:21:58but he's just a wild card.

00:21:59You never know what he's going to do.

00:22:00So now we've got Bobby.

00:22:09Man, I drew a bear.

00:22:10He's Robin Roberts.

00:22:13We blew this thing up last night,

00:22:14got it back together.

00:22:15It cranks.

00:22:16I know that much, so

00:22:17we're about to see

00:22:18what the rest of it's going to do.

00:22:19I'm going to try to tree him

00:22:20and I hope I stay out front of him

00:22:21and get the W

00:22:22because I've got to give me

00:22:23some freaking points.

00:22:36All right, folks,

00:22:36next pair,

00:22:37that's going to be

00:22:37Bobby Ducote

00:22:38going up against

00:22:39Robin Roberts.

00:22:40roll up against Bobby.

00:23:04The car shook just a little bit

00:23:06and then hauled out of the back door

00:23:08so I knew it was over

00:23:09and I never saw him.

00:23:11I was the third team driver to go

00:23:13and the third one to get the W

00:23:15for Team Ryan Martin.

00:23:16We're in a great spot.

00:23:17Oh, yeah.

00:23:18That was going right

00:23:19fast.

00:23:20Yeah, thanks.

00:23:21All right, folks,

00:23:22this next pair here,

00:23:22that's going to be Callie Mills

00:23:24going up against Brandon James.

00:23:26Go out there and quiver a little bit,

00:23:29but you're going to have to stay

00:23:29with it until you, you know,

00:23:31you know how far to take it.

00:23:33All right?

00:23:34Okay.

00:23:34All right.

00:23:36I actually raced Brandon James

00:23:37in the grudge passes

00:23:39and pretty close race

00:23:40until I had to abort.

00:23:42I know that my car is faster now

00:23:43than it was when we raced him,

00:23:45so I think it should be good

00:23:46as long as I can do my job

00:23:47on the tree

00:23:48and not let him get out on me.

00:23:59We broke a lot of things

00:24:01the other day.

00:24:02I mean, everything's new.

00:24:03Transmission's new,

00:24:03third member's new,

00:24:04so we can't really run it

00:24:05exactly how we would normally run it,

00:24:07but we kind of know

00:24:08about where she's at,

00:24:09so I'm confident

00:24:10going in the first round.

00:24:29And Cali Mills

00:24:31takes the win.

00:24:33What a drag race there.

00:24:35All right, next pair.

00:24:37That's going to be Chris Rankin

00:24:38going up against Jeff Lutz.

00:24:44Round one driver's meeting,

00:24:46I draw Chris Rankin.

00:24:47I've raced him many times before,

00:24:49and I've always come out with a win,

00:24:51so I don't plan it any different,

00:24:53but, hey, he's getting better.

00:24:55His car's fast.

00:24:56He's one to watch out for.

00:24:57I just don't know

00:24:58if it's going to be today.

00:25:12Good old Lutz.

00:25:13Somehow we've raced him

00:25:14three times now

00:25:15in the Invitational.

00:25:16Hopefully third time's a charm.

00:25:17We can get over one of them

00:25:18on this one, and we need it.

00:25:19They got a fast hot rod,

00:25:21and they're pretty damn consistent,

00:25:22so we're going to have

00:25:22a work cut out for us,

00:25:23but we've got to beat the best

00:25:25to be the best,

00:25:26so there's a lot of best guys

00:25:27here that's got to be beat yet.

00:25:28He's one of them.

00:25:47And Jeff Lutz is out of there

00:25:48like a rocket ship.

00:25:49Gets the win.

00:25:50Chris Rankin.

00:25:51Something break here

00:25:53right on the line.

00:25:57So the race went

00:26:00for me.

00:26:01Good for Lutz.

00:26:02Lutz got the win.

00:26:03Damn it, man.

00:26:08We'll get it apart here,

00:26:09see what happened.

00:26:10Hopefully Lutz can go on

00:26:11and move on

00:26:11and do really well for himself.

00:26:13Damn.

00:26:14All right, Kyle Canyon

00:26:16going up against Scott

00:26:18Scooter Taylor.

00:26:20Everything good, you think?

00:26:21A little bit of pressure.

00:26:22We've got to shake

00:26:23these first-round blues.

00:26:24We're on a new team,

00:26:25Team Murder Nova now,

00:26:27and we've been stinking

00:26:29for about six races,

00:26:30and it's time

00:26:31to turn that around.

00:26:33A little bit of pressure.

00:26:36Probably be a pretty tight race

00:26:37with him.

00:26:38Yes.

00:26:39With Scott.

00:26:40We've got points

00:26:40to make up

00:26:41after the last two races

00:26:42being gone.

00:26:43Making that up pretty fast

00:26:44was points and a half today.

00:26:45I know Dave's counting

00:26:46on us to go rounds,

00:26:47and he was missing us

00:26:48the last two races,

00:26:49so we've got a good hot rod,

00:26:50we've got a good car.

00:26:52It's time to go prove it.

00:27:09And Kyle Canyon

00:27:30gets the win.

00:27:32What was that bobble ball?

00:27:33He's just not comfortable

00:27:34in the car, man.

00:27:36Been there, though.

00:27:37Whenever you lose so much,

00:27:38man, you're just not confident

00:27:39in the car,

00:27:40I think that's the problem

00:27:41because he shouldn't have

00:27:42went up on the brake

00:27:42that early.

00:27:43Yeah, that was weird.

00:27:45Oh, !

00:27:46It seems like no matter

00:27:48how much we test,

00:27:49the first round

00:27:50is just killing us,

00:27:51and down towards

00:27:52the finish line,

00:27:53transmission line blows off.

00:27:55Thankfully, you know,

00:27:56if we're going to look

00:27:57at any kind of luck,

00:27:57at least it didn't burn me.

00:27:59It sprayed to the right side

00:28:00of the car,

00:28:01and honestly,

00:28:02that's pretty lucky.

00:28:03I'm not going

00:28:04to the hospital right now,

00:28:05so I'm going to take it

00:28:06as a win.

00:28:06You know, I'm healthy.

00:28:07I can watch my friends race,

00:28:09and we try to be the ones

00:28:11that are watching next week.

00:28:12Make a decent pass

00:28:14or something happened?

00:28:15It blew a hydraulic line

00:28:16inside here.

00:28:17I'm just happy

00:28:17it didn't get me.

00:28:18It, like, shot,

00:28:20it burned all the carpet

00:28:21straight through, like.

00:28:22Next pair.

00:28:23That's going to be

00:28:24Larry Larson

00:28:25going up against

00:28:26Daddy Dave.

00:28:28I think I'll make

00:28:28the same pass

00:28:29that made the other night.

00:28:30We'll be good to go.

00:28:31Here in Galopp,

00:28:32we drew Dave again.

00:28:34We get a little chance

00:28:35to redeem ourselves

00:28:36today, first round again,

00:28:37so that'll put

00:28:39a little hurting

00:28:40on those guys

00:28:40if we can take him out,

00:28:41and with this points deal,

00:28:43I think it's going

00:28:43to get pretty interesting

00:28:44in the next three races.

00:28:51We got really good

00:28:52test passes in

00:28:53the other night.

00:28:55Car's good.

00:28:56We freshened the motor up.

00:28:57Everything should be good to go.

00:28:58I got Larry Larson again.

00:29:00We've met up

00:29:01quite a few times

00:29:01this season,

00:29:02and he hasn't

00:29:03outran me yet,

00:29:04so I'm going to keep

00:29:05that streak going

00:29:06and see if we can

00:29:07go into the second round.

00:29:08And Daddy Dave kills him

00:29:31on the starting line

00:29:32and takes the win.

00:29:34I don't think

00:29:35I think Larry's late.

00:29:39I figured he knew

00:29:40we'd have his ass.

00:29:42Well, that race

00:29:43was a little,

00:29:44let's just say,

00:29:45aggravating.

00:29:47Larry, if you think

00:29:47I jumped on you,

00:29:48I apologize.

00:29:49I had no intentions

00:29:50of guessing it.

00:29:51The crappy part

00:29:51about it is

00:29:52if you're going to jump,

00:29:53admit you jump.

00:29:54Don't stand down there

00:29:55to lie to me.

00:29:56I think he thinks

00:29:57I guessed on him.

00:30:00I don't know.

00:30:01I'm pretty sure

00:30:02I did not.

00:30:03Did I leave early?

00:30:04Was it green?

00:30:05You might have left early.

00:30:06But you didn't go red.

00:30:09All right,

00:30:09the next pair,

00:30:10you got Chuck 55

00:30:11going up against Jim Howell.

00:30:14Good luck, Jim.

00:30:15Good luck, brother.

00:30:16You bet.

00:30:17Now we're moving

00:30:17into that points and a half

00:30:19in our points chase right now,

00:30:20so today is a big day.

00:30:22We drew our good friend

00:30:23Chuck 55.

00:30:24They've had some struggles

00:30:25here lately,

00:30:26but when that car

00:30:27makes a good rip,

00:30:27it's usually fast.

00:30:32I drew Jim Howell,

00:30:38and he's probably

00:30:39one of the five cars

00:30:41I wouldn't wish for

00:30:42in first round,

00:30:43but hey,

00:30:44eventually you're going

00:30:45to have to draw somebody

00:30:45fast,

00:30:46and I think we got

00:30:48the car that can beat him.

00:30:49I'm going to try

00:30:49to leave on him,

00:30:51and if I can leave on him,

00:30:52I think we got to cover him.

00:30:53All right,

00:31:06the next pair,

00:31:06you got Chuck 55

00:31:08going up against Jim Howell.

00:31:09and Chuck 55

00:31:28with a great pass,

00:31:29gets the win.

00:31:31Nice job.

00:31:32Chuck 55 moving

00:31:34on the next round.

00:31:37Man, that was a drag race.

00:31:39Mine tried to go right.

00:31:42I see him starting

00:31:44to make a move,

00:31:44and I thought,

00:31:45man, I just hope

00:31:46mine will stay hooked,

00:31:48and it did,

00:31:49thank goodness.

00:31:50All right, folks,

00:31:50next pair here

00:31:51in this invitational

00:31:52first round,

00:31:52going to be a good one.

00:31:54Driving the Pro Charge Camaro,

00:31:55that is going to be

00:31:56Damon Merchant

00:31:57going up against

00:31:58Lizzie Musi.

00:32:00Did you guys look

00:32:01at the air last,

00:32:02or no?

00:32:02I haven't lately.

00:32:04It was like 1,300

00:32:05last time I looked.

00:32:06I think it stayed

00:32:07there on holiday.

00:32:09So today is the

00:32:10official invitational day.

00:32:12The rain has passed.

00:32:13We got some cloud cover.

00:32:15It's actually pretty chilly out.

00:32:16Good temps for nitrous cars.

00:32:18We like to go fast in that.

00:32:19Okay, going in.

00:32:21Love you.

00:32:24Of course.

00:32:25We go out for first round

00:32:27of chip draw,

00:32:27and I get Damon Merchant

00:32:29first round.

00:32:30Damon was definitely

00:32:31not the one

00:32:31I wanted to draw

00:32:32first round for invitational,

00:32:34especially he's on our team,

00:32:35and, you know,

00:32:37he's fast.

00:32:39It don't sound right,

00:32:40does it?

00:32:40No, it don't.

00:32:48It sounded right there.

00:32:50It didn't sound right on idle.

00:32:52It sounded like

00:32:52it was missing a couple.

00:32:53Nah, she would never

00:33:01come up here

00:33:01on purpose.

00:33:03Pat would never do that.

00:33:05It's not better now.

00:33:08Damon Merchant

00:33:09in the right lane.

00:33:11Lizzie over here

00:33:13in this left lane.

00:33:14Pat, as you see,

00:33:15racing engines on board.

00:33:16And Damon Merchant

00:33:40gets her on the tree,

00:33:43never looks back.

00:33:47The car made

00:33:48a phenomenal pass,

00:33:50so I'm super pumped

00:33:51about that.

00:33:52The guy's been

00:33:53working their ass off,

00:33:54and we're heading

00:33:55in the right direction

00:33:56right now.

00:33:57We've got a hot rod

00:33:57that can win this thing.

00:33:59Good?

00:33:59Good job on that tree.

00:34:01Did I get it?

00:34:02Yeah, you did.

00:34:05It's all good.

00:34:06Yeah, it didn't shift,

00:34:08so...

00:34:08It really didn't?

00:34:09No.

00:34:10He said,

00:34:10it looked like you had

00:34:11an issue or something.

00:34:12Yeah.

00:34:13I don't know

00:34:14what the hell's going on.

00:34:15Not having any luck.

00:34:16I can tell you that.

00:34:18Sometimes I'd rather

00:34:19be lucky any time

00:34:20than that.

00:34:20I said that same thing.

00:34:21Yeah.

00:34:22Sometimes you've got

00:34:22to be lucky and good.

00:34:23Yeah.

00:34:24That sucks.

00:34:25We've got another

00:34:26freaking first-round loss

00:34:28seating away at me

00:34:29because it's been

00:34:30several events in a row,

00:34:31so...

00:34:32And that's not

00:34:33typical for us.

00:34:34We'll at least

00:34:34go a couple of rounds,

00:34:35you know?

00:34:37I don't know.

00:34:38This is a little rough.

00:34:39So now,

00:34:40keep going.

00:34:41Thank you, ma'am.

00:34:41Next fair,

00:34:43that's going to be

00:34:44Jimmy Taylor

00:34:44going up against

00:34:45Ryan Martin.

00:34:49Good luck, Clay.

00:34:49Thank you, man.

00:34:50Appreciate that.

00:34:53This is a big race.

00:34:55This is the first one

00:34:56of points and a half,

00:34:57so we've got

00:34:57three races left,

00:34:58and it goes points and a half,

00:34:59points and a half,

00:35:00and double points.

00:35:01This being the first

00:35:02points and a half

00:35:03and us getting

00:35:04all good draws

00:35:05and Kai not getting

00:35:06such a good draw,

00:35:07this is our opportunity

00:35:08to catch him.

00:35:09He's been running

00:35:09away with this deal

00:35:10this year,

00:35:10and we need to go get him,

00:35:12and this is our chance

00:35:13to make a big move.

00:35:13So all it's going to take

00:35:14is a couple of us

00:35:15to get in the finals,

00:35:16which means we've got

00:35:17to have good cars

00:35:17that run good

00:35:18and we stay away

00:35:18from each other.

00:35:30We're in North Carolina

00:35:32getting ready to run

00:35:33the first round

00:35:33of the Invitational.

00:35:34We made it in yesterday.

00:35:36We're drawing Ryan Martin,

00:35:38first pass.

00:35:39Ryan's strong.

00:35:40He runs good.

00:35:41I think we've got

00:35:41something for him, though.

00:35:42We ran Friday night.

00:35:43Our car ran the three best

00:35:44passes it's ever ran.

00:35:46We're going to leave it

00:35:47all on the line.

00:35:48And Ryan Martin right down

00:36:08Broadway gets the win.

00:36:09Nice job.

00:36:10Jimmy Taylor has some issues

00:36:11there in that left lane,

00:36:12has to get out of it.

00:36:12This is points and a half,

00:36:16so every one of these rounds

00:36:17are super crucial.

00:36:18The important thing

00:36:19is just to keep going

00:36:19and collecting points.

00:36:20My team's sitting

00:36:21in a pretty good spot.

00:36:22So far, four of my five guys

00:36:24are in.

00:36:24I got Giuseppe left,

00:36:26and I think he's probably

00:36:27going to be in two,

00:36:27but we're sitting

00:36:28pretty good already.

00:36:29Good race, Jimmy.

00:36:32Good race, buddy.

00:36:33I busted a rear

00:36:34inner driveline.

00:36:34Did you?

00:36:36I hate to hear that.

00:36:37I don't like that we

00:36:37didn't get a good race.

00:36:38Thanks, man.

00:36:39Appreciate it.

00:36:39Sorry to hear that, man.

00:36:40Part of it.

00:36:41If you need anything,

00:36:42let me know.

00:36:42No.

00:36:43Thanks, man.

00:36:44All right, folks.

00:36:45This next pair right here

00:36:46is going to be a good one.

00:36:47That's going to be Axeman

00:36:48going up against Kai Kelly.

00:36:50It's the first race

00:37:02of points and a half.

00:37:03We're hoping we can do

00:37:04better this week

00:37:05and go some rounds

00:37:06because everybody's

00:37:07starting to catch us.

00:37:08Going into the day,

00:37:09I got five in,

00:37:09but the top four teams

00:37:10has got five in,

00:37:11so they really don't matter.

00:37:12We just, we really need

00:37:13to go rounds with them.

00:37:14We need to take them out

00:37:15round by round

00:37:16and hopefully be

00:37:17the last one standing.

00:37:20Round one, I drew Axeman.

00:37:33Axeman's been guessing

00:37:34on everybody,

00:37:34but I feel like me and him

00:37:36are good enough buddies

00:37:36that I think he'll give me

00:37:38a straight-up race,

00:37:38so I'm going to go up there

00:37:39and run my race.

00:37:40I'm not going to guess on him.

00:37:41I'm going to leave on green

00:37:42and see what happens.

00:37:50All right, folks,

00:38:00this next fair right here

00:38:00is going to be a good one.

00:38:01That's going to be Axeman

00:38:02going up against Kyle Kelly.

00:38:04Axeman's going to get the win.

00:38:24Kyle Kelly's car dies

00:38:26on the starting line.

00:38:27Axeman gets the win.

00:38:30Kyle Kelly's car dies

00:38:32on the starting line.

00:38:36Wow.

00:38:37Is that a f***ing blower belt?

00:38:38Yep.

00:38:40Is that another f***ing belt?

00:38:43We do our burnouts.

00:38:45I stage.

00:38:46I get ready to leave on green

00:38:47and a blower belt breaks again.

00:38:48This year has been a year

00:38:49of that kind of dumb-ass s*** happening.

00:38:51It's a tough loss for me today.

00:38:54It makes it where

00:38:55the rest of these teams

00:38:55is going to catch us today.

00:38:57It just sucks.

00:38:57A f***ing situation.

00:38:58Nothing good comes from it

00:39:00and I really don't know how to take it.

00:39:02I'm just pissed off,

00:39:03feeling sorry for myself

00:39:04and that's about it.

00:39:10All right, folks,

00:39:10next fair coming at you right now.

00:39:12That is going to be Giuseppe

00:39:13going up against Justin Swanstrom.

00:39:18The team is in a real good position.

00:39:20We got all five drivers in.

00:39:21We got points and a half for this race.

00:39:23Feeling good about the car.

00:39:24It's right where it needs to be.

00:39:25As long as we make a nice, clean run,

00:39:27I feel like we can beat Justin on this round.

00:39:37This weekend, we're short on hands.

00:39:39My dad had some work issues come up.

00:39:42This will be my first race racing without him.

00:39:44So that definitely sucks,

00:39:45but I've called him every pass that we've made.

00:39:48He's watching it on live feed.

00:39:50He's trying to coach me through.

00:39:52I made three passes Friday night

00:39:53and the car was steadily,

00:39:55gradually driving left.

00:39:56We had to put some preload in the car

00:39:58and I called him on the phone

00:39:59and he talked me through

00:40:00on how to get everything ready.

00:40:01So hopefully this car

00:40:02will drive back straighter.

00:40:03And Seth, he's going to get the win there.

00:40:25Justin Swansham on a pass,

00:40:26but he's unglued there about the 330.

00:40:29You know, I went out there.

00:40:32This car out of nowhere,

00:40:34it just snapped sideways.

00:40:36If my dad was here,

00:40:37he probably could have read the track

00:40:38a little bit better than I did.

00:40:39You know, I tried my best,

00:40:40but it just wasn't good enough.

00:40:42Justin, good race, buddy.

00:40:45This will be the final pair

00:40:47for the first round.

00:40:48That is going to be Paige Coughlin

00:40:49going up against Murder Nova.

00:40:51Hey, do you see a little

00:40:53starstruck race at Murder Nova

00:40:55or is it an old hat at this point?

00:40:56Oh, no.

00:40:57It's, it'll be a starstruck

00:40:58every single time.

00:41:00You know, just because

00:41:01I might have a little fangirl moment

00:41:03doesn't mean I'm going to go easy on him.

00:41:05This will be a great rematch.

00:41:07And we got the new motor in that car,

00:41:09so we're meeting business here.

00:41:10No easygoing for Murder Nova.

00:41:12I know what she has

00:41:22because it's the same thing that I have.

00:41:24And I don't know how much

00:41:26they're unleashing that car at this point,

00:41:28but I know what the car's capable of

00:41:30and that's the only thing I can go off of.

00:41:32So I'm not going to underestimate her.

00:41:42We made a good lick, man.

00:41:57I let go of the button.

00:41:59Car did exactly what we told it to do.

00:42:01She was right there.

00:42:02It looked like a good race,

00:42:03but we got that win light, baby.

00:42:06You made a good one, didn't you?

00:42:08Thanks.

00:42:08We're still getting this thing figured out.

00:42:09It looked like you was right.

00:42:10As soon as I hit the chutes,

00:42:12I looked over and you was right there, so.

00:42:14I tried. That was long trees.

00:42:15It was, wasn't it?

00:42:16Holy smokes.

00:42:16It was.

00:42:16I was like, don't you go run now.

00:42:18Don't do it.

00:42:19Good job.

00:42:20Good race.

00:42:22Going into round two,

00:42:23Ryan Martin has all five of his drivers

00:42:26still in the event.

00:42:27This really appears like Ryan's team

00:42:29has just got the momentum

00:42:30and they are building on it.

00:42:32Day's team has four,

00:42:34Sean's team has three,

00:42:35and our number one in points,

00:42:37Team Kai, only has two.

00:42:39All right, here we go.

00:42:40Guys, this is your chance

00:42:42to make up ground

00:42:43on the number one team,

00:42:44which is Team Kai Kelly.

00:42:45It is one and a half times points,

00:42:47all right?

00:42:48So the points are getting bigger

00:42:49for each round, right?

00:42:50Let's go ahead and draw chips

00:42:52and see who is racing who here

00:42:53in this second round.

00:42:56Oh,

00:42:56all right, guys.

00:43:00Let's start with number ones.

00:43:05First pair,

00:43:07Mike Bowman versus Murder Nova.

00:43:10Number two.

00:43:12Oh, boy.

00:43:14Going to be Jeff Lutz versus Ryan Martin.

00:43:18Oh, teammates.

00:43:19Kyle Canyon versus Axeman.

00:43:22Callie Mills versus Daddy Dave.

00:43:25Number fives.

00:43:26Ooh.

00:43:26Clay Cole versus Robin Roberts.

00:43:30Giuseppe versus Chuck 55.

00:43:33Number sevens.

00:43:34Rich Bruder versus Kayla Morton,

00:43:39which means my eighth in final pair.

00:43:41Oh, boy.

00:43:42Going to be Damon Merchant

00:43:43versus Nate Saylor.

00:43:46That's going to be a fast pass right there.

00:43:50Woo.

00:43:51Drivers, you know who you're racing.

00:43:52You know what you got to do.

00:43:53Go back to the pits.

00:43:54Get your cars turned around.

00:43:55Bring them into the staging lanes.

00:43:57I want to give someone $40,000 today.

00:44:00Let's see who it'll be.

00:44:00Let's go.

00:44:05Well, here we go.

00:44:07First pair coming at you

00:44:08right now in the second round.

00:44:09That's going to be Mike Bowman

00:44:11going up against Murder Nova.

00:44:16It's the tough task

00:44:17of beating Sean right here.

00:44:20We're going in the second round.

00:44:21Who do I draw?

00:44:23Sean.

00:44:23I mean, probably one

00:44:25of the toughest guys here.

00:44:26So I stepped it up

00:44:28a little bit right here.

00:44:29Hopefully it hooks

00:44:30and, you know, makes a trip

00:44:31all the way down the racetrack

00:44:32and it cut a good light

00:44:33and we'll see what we can do here.

00:44:36Hey, good luck, brother.

00:44:37Hey, good luck, man.

00:44:39Round two.

00:44:40I haven't raced Bowman.

00:44:41I don't know if I've raced him

00:44:43yet this season.

00:44:44At the beginning of the season,

00:44:45he was on fire.

00:44:46His car was one of the fastest

00:44:47on the property.

00:44:48He had a little bit

00:44:49of problems with it

00:44:49and I actually think

00:44:51he's back now.

00:44:52He's been running good.

00:44:53He raced his way in.

00:44:54He's been taking out

00:44:55some big name cars

00:44:56and he's fast.

00:45:09We tweaked the tune

00:45:10just a little bit

00:45:11off the first pass,

00:45:12tried to go a little bit faster.

00:45:13We have to go as fast

00:45:15as we possibly can.

00:45:16And Vertanova takes the win

00:45:31with a great pass there

00:45:44in that left lane.

00:45:45Mike Bowman right there

00:45:46with him, but not enough.

00:45:50Oh, baby!

00:45:52I left on him

00:45:54and I never looked back

00:45:55after that.

00:45:55We got the win light.

00:45:57It was a pretty close race,

00:45:58but on to the third round.

00:46:00Hey, man.

00:46:01Nice job, man.

00:46:02That was a good race, dude.

00:46:03Yes, it was.

00:46:03I got a little bit loose.

00:46:04That was it.

00:46:05Nice job, brother.

00:46:05You pulled out in front of me

00:46:06and you can't go around some way.

00:46:08I know what that thing's capable of

00:46:09and I know what you did

00:46:10early on in the season.

00:46:11So I promise you, man,

00:46:13I was worried.

00:46:15All right, folks.

00:46:15Next pair right here,

00:46:16that's going to be Jeff Lutz

00:46:17going up against Ryan Martin.

00:46:20Good luck, homie.

00:46:21Love you, brother.

00:46:21Be safe, man.

00:46:22See you at the other end.

00:46:23All right.

00:46:23Round two, I get Ryan Martin.

00:46:25Out of everybody

00:46:26in that damn group,

00:46:28there's two people

00:46:28I didn't want,

00:46:29Ryan Martin and Sean.

00:46:30So don't I get Ryan Martin.

00:46:47You know what?

00:46:48We've raced them here before

00:46:50and we've beat them here before.

00:46:51So I'm going to give it hell.

00:47:00And Ryan Martin

00:47:19will take the win.

00:47:20That right there

00:47:21was a close race, folks,

00:47:22but Ryan Martin

00:47:23able to turn on that wind light

00:47:24to get the win.

00:47:26After that pass,

00:47:27I can say that

00:47:28we made all the right moves.

00:47:29That's really four straight passes

00:47:30in a row,

00:47:31so I'm excited about that.

00:47:33I think we got

00:47:33a pretty good hot rod.

00:47:35The thing's running pretty good.

00:47:36We're down to eight,

00:47:37but it's all eight

00:47:38really fast cars.

00:47:39So we're going to see

00:47:41just how good we got

00:47:42at here pretty close.

00:47:43Race, buddy.

00:47:44Oh, yeah.

00:47:45Make a good pass?

00:47:46Yeah.

00:47:47I think it was.

00:47:49Yeah, you said

00:47:49he was right there

00:47:50for a little bit.

00:47:53All right, next pair.

00:47:55These two drivers

00:47:55are teammates.

00:47:56Kyle Canyon

00:47:57going up against

00:47:58Axeman Larry Roach.

00:48:00Round two,

00:48:09we drew Axeman,

00:48:10drew our teammate,

00:48:11bad deal,

00:48:12but in the scheme of things,

00:48:13one of us goes on,

00:48:13so we get points.

00:48:15With Kai losing

00:48:15three drivers

00:48:16in the first round,

00:48:17we're hoping this really

00:48:18helps us close the gap.

00:48:19It guarantees another car

00:48:20moving on,

00:48:21so there's a positive

00:48:21there for us.

00:48:22and Kyle Canyon

00:48:44going to take the win there

00:48:47against Axeman.

00:48:48Wow.

00:48:49Kyle Canyon out of there.

00:48:50Looks like Axeman's

00:48:51shoots did not come out,

00:48:53but he makes the turn,

00:48:54so that's good.

00:48:57That pass was good for us.

00:48:59It was picking the front tires

00:49:00up in the middle,

00:49:00and it was on a run.

00:49:02I think it would have been

00:49:02hard for anybody to outrun,

00:49:03so I'm on cloud nine right now.

00:49:05First part of the year,

00:49:06we had some good showings,

00:49:07and I think we're back.

00:49:08I mean, I really do,

00:49:09so I'm excited to see

00:49:11what this thing does

00:49:11the rest of the night.

00:49:12Hopefully, it's our night.

00:49:14Damn, I just

00:49:15my pants for you.

00:49:16Oh, don't lie to me.

00:49:17Hey, I don't know.

00:49:19You're 60 foot

00:49:19and the out of me.

00:49:21What happened out there?

00:49:22It shoots with no

00:49:23pressure.

00:49:23It didn't come over.

00:49:25And it was running so fast,

00:49:26the pressure didn't come over,

00:49:27and I stood on the brake.

00:49:28I seen it.

00:49:28And all of a sudden,

00:49:29the brakes got so hot,

00:49:30then it slid sideways.

00:49:32I seen it.

00:49:32Woo!

00:49:33All right, next pair,

00:49:34that is going to be

00:49:35Callie Mills

00:49:36going up against

00:49:37Daddy Dave Comstock.

00:49:39I've raced Daddy Dave

00:49:40quite a bit.

00:49:41He usually beats me,

00:49:43but I have a lot

00:49:43more confidence in my car.

00:49:44My car's a lot faster now

00:49:45than when he's raced me

00:49:46in the past.

00:49:48Justin lost.

00:49:49Jim Howell lost.

00:49:50Antony McKinney lost.

00:49:51So it is what it is.

00:49:52I'm just going to do my job,

00:49:53and hopefully I can continue

00:49:54on and carry the team,

00:49:55I'd say.

00:50:09Second round, we got Callie Mills.

00:50:14I raced with her dad,

00:50:15and I watched her dad

00:50:16growing up.

00:50:17Callie's watched me race

00:50:18as she grew up.

00:50:19It's kind of cool

00:50:20to actually race

00:50:20one of the guys' daughters,

00:50:22and she's doing really good.

00:50:24The car's really fast,

00:50:25so it should be

00:50:26a really, really good race.

00:50:27great pass from him.

00:50:54Callie Mills also made a great rip.

00:50:57up there in the right lane,

00:50:58but just not quite enough.

00:51:02The car's good.

00:51:02That was a really,

00:51:03really fast pass.

00:51:04I got some awesome data

00:51:05from that one,

00:51:06so we're only going to go

00:51:07faster from here.

00:51:07But the bad part of it,

00:51:09going into the third round,

00:51:10there's no dugs.

00:51:11I mean, everybody's there

00:51:11for a reason.

00:51:12Everybody's fast,

00:51:13so let's get a good draw

00:51:15and go on to the next round.

00:51:16You need me to help you

00:51:17get out, granddad?

00:51:21There's a lot of stuff in there.

00:51:23Good job, baby.

00:51:25It was close.

00:51:26It was close.

00:51:26I was like,

00:51:27go, go, go.

00:51:28I pulled the chutes

00:51:29and I kind of went like this

00:51:30and I was like,

00:51:30I was like,

00:51:31damn, she was right there.

00:51:32Good job.

00:51:32Yeah, I try to make sure

00:51:33that I get the chutes out

00:51:34and get it early.

00:51:35You know, like,

00:51:36dad, I got to make sure

00:51:37I cut it off

00:51:37at the eighth mile,

00:51:38especially when she's

00:51:39smoking like she is.

00:51:40I'm like.

00:51:42How close was it?

00:51:43I think it was pretty close.

00:51:44Half a car, probably.

00:51:45I mean, maybe half a car.

00:51:46It was good.

00:51:47As soon as I lifted,

00:51:48you shot by,

00:51:48I go, damn,

00:51:49she was right there.

00:51:49Good job.

00:51:50Yeah.

00:51:51Good luck.

00:51:53All right,

00:51:54next pair coming up

00:51:55right now.

00:51:55That's going to be Clay Cole

00:51:56going up against Robin Roberts.

00:51:59Robin's a fast guy,

00:52:00but we'll put something

00:52:02in this here computer

00:52:03and make it go a little faster.

00:52:04Yes, sir.

00:52:05The car's gone perfectly

00:52:06straight.

00:52:06Now we can have power.

00:52:07But we went into this deal

00:52:09first round with five

00:52:10of our teammates

00:52:11in the imitation.

00:52:12We came back after

00:52:13first round with only

00:52:14two left,

00:52:14me and Damon Merchant.

00:52:16So we're really going

00:52:17to have to pick up

00:52:17the slack,

00:52:18hopefully go some rounds

00:52:19and really stand up

00:52:20for our team

00:52:21so we can get these

00:52:21points and a half today

00:52:22to help keep our lead

00:52:23and keep them

00:52:24from coming closer to it.

00:52:34Drew Clay Cole,

00:52:35guy has been really

00:52:36fast this year.

00:52:37He's done great.

00:52:38He's just coming in,

00:52:39but our car's flying.

00:52:41The conditions are perfect.

00:52:43The weather's perfect.

00:52:43The air is perfect.

00:52:44It's going to,

00:52:45both cars are going

00:52:46to go really fast.

00:53:06Robin Roberts.

00:53:10Robin Roberts turns on

00:53:14the win like that.

00:53:16Was another close race, folks.

00:53:20It was a drag race.

00:53:21He had just enough

00:53:22to inch me out

00:53:22down at the end.

00:53:23He got the win.

00:53:24Sucks for our team.

00:53:25We're not going

00:53:26to the next round

00:53:26to get any more points,

00:53:27but honestly,

00:53:29the most fun

00:53:29I've had all weekend.

00:53:30Right on.

00:53:34That's what we needed.

00:53:37Keep moving them around.

00:53:38Keep moving them around.

00:53:39Keep moving them around.

00:53:39All right, folks.

00:54:04Next pair coming up

00:54:05right now,

00:54:06we got Giuseppe

00:54:06going up against Chuck 55.

00:54:12We drew Chuck 55,

00:54:14raced Chuck 55

00:54:15at the last race,

00:54:16and we were able

00:54:17to get him.

00:54:17We got by.

00:54:18I know he's fast.

00:54:19He said he was making

00:54:20some fast runs.

00:54:21It's going to be

00:54:21a pretty tough round

00:54:22here for us right now.

00:54:23I don't like

00:54:35my draw real well.

00:54:36I drew Giuseppe.

00:54:37It seems like

00:54:37he's kind of been

00:54:38my kryptonite,

00:54:39but I do feel like

00:54:40I have a car

00:54:40that can outrun him.

00:54:41I feel like I can

00:54:42make more power

00:54:43than he can.

00:54:44If I can just be

00:54:44on my game,

00:54:45I think I'm going

00:54:45to pull this one off

00:54:46and get that monkey

00:54:47off my back.

00:54:53All right, folks.

00:55:00Next pair coming up

00:55:00right now,

00:55:01we got Giuseppe

00:55:01going up against

00:55:02Chuck 55.

00:55:20And Giuseppe

00:55:22going to win

00:55:23that when both

00:55:24drivers driving

00:55:26those things down

00:55:27through there, folks.

00:55:32We left together.

00:55:34He jumps out there.

00:55:36Half track,

00:55:36I'm driving away from him

00:55:37and my car's going

00:55:38to the left.

00:55:39I chop the throttle.

00:55:41He literally came up

00:55:42on me and clipped me

00:55:43right at the end.

00:55:45Next time I draw him,

00:55:46I'm going to chunk

00:55:47that piece of kryptonite

00:55:47at him when I go by him.

00:55:49He don't want to draw

00:55:50me next time,

00:55:51I'm telling you.

00:55:52Man, that was close.

00:55:53Oh, it was close.

00:55:54It was close.

00:55:55You had me.

00:55:56You had me.

00:55:58All right, folks,

00:55:59here we go.

00:56:00Seventh pair.

00:56:00That is going to be

00:56:01Rich Bruder going up

00:56:02against Kayla Morton.

00:56:07Round two,

00:56:08we drew the Bruder

00:56:09brothers.

00:56:09And every race,

00:56:10they seem to get a little

00:56:11faster and faster.

00:56:12So we're going to be

00:56:13on our toes here,

00:56:14but we're ready.

00:56:14From a team aspect,

00:56:15we're not only looking

00:56:16out for Kai.

00:56:17We have to worry

00:56:18about Ryan because

00:56:19I think with his five

00:56:20drivers, he may have

00:56:21passed us.

00:56:21Down one for Ryan

00:56:22if we take out Bruder.

00:56:24We just got to keep

00:56:24picking him off, man.

00:56:36We got Kayla.

00:56:37She's been running good.

00:56:38A couple finals.

00:56:39Our car is fast.

00:56:40We're gaining points.

00:56:41All five of us

00:56:42are still in.

00:56:43Dave had four,

00:56:44so we got one more

00:56:45than them.

00:56:45Their team's running

00:56:46strong over there,

00:56:47so we're going to do

00:56:47what we have to do

00:56:48to get that win.

00:57:04And Kayla Morton

00:57:06will take the win

00:57:07there with that pass.

00:57:08Nice job.

00:57:09Nice job.

00:57:11I definitely

00:57:16anticipated the light

00:57:18of Smidge.

00:57:20The deal is,

00:57:21is that they did it

00:57:22to Axeman last weekend,

00:57:23so I know he's capable,

00:57:24and it's just a cut

00:57:25for a world out here,

00:57:26you know?

00:57:27It just is what it is,

00:57:28and if there's room

00:57:29in the tree to guess

00:57:30or anticipate,

00:57:31you got to get them

00:57:32before they get you,

00:57:33and that's just how

00:57:33this world works out here.

00:57:35Good job.

00:57:38All right, folks,

00:57:39last pair of the second round.

00:57:40That is going to be

00:57:41Nate Saylor going up

00:57:43against Damon Merchant.

00:57:45Somebody's going to have

00:57:46to knock off

00:57:47on Nate's train here.

00:57:48Second round here at Galat,

00:57:49we drew to Nate.

00:57:51A little bit of a struggle

00:57:51at the first of the year,

00:57:52figured it out.

00:57:53He's been on fire

00:57:54ever since,

00:57:55but we're not teammates

00:57:57anymore.

00:57:58He's moved on to Ryan's team,

00:57:59I've moved on to Kai's,

00:58:00and it's set up

00:58:01to be a good rivalry

00:58:02right here.

00:58:16You know,

00:58:16he's walking around

00:58:17with a couple of winds

00:58:18under his belt,

00:58:19his chest out,

00:58:20and he's riding

00:58:21that wave right now,

00:58:22and it's going to be up

00:58:23to us right here

00:58:23to knock him off

00:58:24that pestle.

00:58:41And Damon Merchant

00:58:43jumps the tree down

00:58:46and gets the win

00:58:47against Nate Saylor.

00:58:49Woo!

00:58:51As soon as I seen

00:58:52Illuminate,

00:58:54I let go of the button.

00:58:55He didn't have a chance

00:58:56after that.

00:58:58We really threw a tune

00:58:59at it that, you know,

00:59:00we thought would go

00:59:01and we thought would be fast,

00:59:02and we nailed it.

00:59:03I've got to get back

00:59:04to cutting people's heads

00:59:05off up there,

00:59:05and that's exactly

00:59:06what I'm doing here today.

00:59:10Man, that race went like

00:59:11I don't know if he guessed

00:59:14or didn't guess

00:59:14or either way.

00:59:16He jumped probably

00:59:17a car and a half

00:59:17out on me

00:59:18out of the hole,

00:59:19and there's just

00:59:20no making up that ground.

00:59:21Did yours act up?

00:59:22No.

00:59:23He just had like

00:59:25two cars out on me

00:59:26on the hole.

00:59:41drivers meeting

00:59:42coming at you right now.

00:59:45We are now

00:59:46down to eight.

00:59:48I will tell you

00:59:48there are two teams

00:59:49that still have

00:59:50three drivers standing,

00:59:52and that team is

00:59:53Daddy Dave

00:59:54with three drivers

00:59:55and team Ryan Martin.

00:59:59Three drivers.

01:00:01Good job, boys.

01:00:02Let's go ahead

01:00:03and draw chips,

01:00:03see who's racing who

01:00:05here in this third round.

01:00:07It's my good look.

01:00:08I got to go from the back,

01:00:09dude.

01:00:09Oh, hello.

01:00:10Oh, hi.

01:00:13All right,

01:00:14my number ones,

01:00:15please step forward.

01:00:17going to be Kayla Morton

01:00:21versus Murder Nova.

01:00:23I don't know.

01:00:24All right,

01:00:24number twos.

01:00:27Giuseppe

01:00:28versus Damon Merchant.

01:00:30Number threes.

01:00:33Robin Roberts

01:00:35versus Daddy Dave,

01:00:37which means

01:00:38my fourth and final pair

01:00:40will be Kyle Canyon

01:00:41versus Ryan Martin.

01:00:45All right, y'all.

01:00:46Well, look,

01:00:47you know who you're racing.

01:00:48You know what you got to do.

01:00:49Go back to the pits,

01:00:49get your cars turned around,

01:00:51and bring them

01:00:52in the staging lane.

01:00:52Let's do it.

01:00:55All right, here we go.

01:00:57Invitational round three.

01:01:00Coming at you

01:01:01right now.

01:01:05It's just crazy.

01:01:06Like, you look around,

01:01:07and there's just not one person

01:01:09that you want to draw.

01:01:10Team Dave is holding

01:01:11strong, though,

01:01:11with three players in.

01:01:13We're coming up

01:01:14in the underdog position.

01:01:15I really don't think

01:01:15anybody expected us

01:01:16to stay in the hunt,

01:01:17but we're making moves, baby.

01:01:29I feel great.

01:01:30I'm just worried

01:01:31about the points and a half

01:01:32because that can either

01:01:34make you or break you.

01:01:35I've spent all season

01:01:36getting to where

01:01:37I want to be right now,

01:01:38and I'm number four.

01:01:39A couple bad weekends,

01:01:41man, I could have

01:01:41all that hard work

01:01:42taken away from me.

01:01:43So we're more focused,

01:01:45and we're trying to be

01:01:45more on top of our game

01:01:47right now than ever.

01:01:49Here we go.

01:01:50Invitational round three

01:01:51coming at you right now

01:01:53over in the left lane.

01:01:55That is going to be

01:01:56Kayla Morton

01:01:57going up against

01:01:58Murder Nova

01:02:00in the right lane.

01:02:22Oh, and Kayla Morton

01:02:24takes the win!

01:02:25Wow!

01:02:27Kayla Morton rolling

01:02:29here today,

01:02:30able to take out

01:02:31Murder Nova.

01:02:32Close.

01:02:33What a great drag race.

01:02:35It's close.

01:02:37Yes, baby!

01:02:39Woo!

01:02:41That was such a close race.

01:02:43When I beat Sean like that,

01:02:44I always feel like

01:02:45I can go all the way

01:02:47because he was just so fast,

01:02:49and it's always

01:02:49a neck-and-neck race,

01:02:50and, yeah, I'm ready.

01:02:52Final four, baby.

01:02:53Let's go.

01:02:54It was still a good race.

01:02:56Man, it was close.

01:02:57Dang, every time.

01:02:59Good job.

01:03:00Every time.

01:03:01Every time.

01:03:03All right, next pair.

01:03:05Giuseppe going up

01:03:06against Damon Merchant.

01:03:11I'll see you at that.

01:03:13Yep, yep, yep.

01:03:13Take care.

01:03:14All right, round three.

01:03:16We drew Damon Merchant.

01:03:17He's flying.

01:03:18My crew said they were

01:03:19watching him.

01:03:20He's making some fast runs.

01:03:21Probably one of the fastest

01:03:22cars here right now,

01:03:23they're saying.

01:03:24So it's going to be

01:03:24a tough round for us.

01:03:29I looked at the tune-up.

01:03:30Car kind of was overpowering

01:03:32it there in the middle,

01:03:33so actually turned it down

01:03:34a little bit.

01:03:35Hopefully that pays off

01:03:36and we can make a better run.

01:03:38And we got to get him out, too.

01:03:40He's on Kai's team.

01:03:41They just got him.

01:03:42Got to try to take him out

01:03:43right now so we can make a move.

01:03:44We draw Giuseppe.

01:03:50I feel like they've got

01:03:51a lot of momentum

01:03:53on Ryan's team right now

01:03:54and that's contagious.

01:03:56So you got two or three guys

01:03:58really running good.

01:03:59Those guys that's been

01:04:00struggling,

01:04:00they've got to get

01:04:01their act together.

01:04:02Those guys will help them

01:04:02get their act together.

01:04:04But Rogue's flying right now.

01:04:06We took out Lizzie.

01:04:08We took out a killer and Nate.

01:04:09And, you know,

01:04:11here we are against Giuseppe.

01:04:12So can't take anybody lightly

01:04:14at this point.

01:04:17The air is great.

01:04:18The track's great.

01:04:18Everybody's hauling ass

01:04:19and them high horsepower

01:04:20Hemis right now

01:04:21are on the hunt.

01:04:23We're just going to have to,

01:04:24you know,

01:04:25knock them down to our level

01:04:26with this big block.

01:04:26Over in the right lane,

01:04:47that is going to be Giuseppe

01:04:48going up against

01:04:50Damon Merchant.

01:04:52Driving that pro-charged

01:04:53Camaro.

01:04:56And David Merchant

01:05:16will take the win there.

01:05:19Folks,

01:05:20these races are super close.

01:05:21Woo!

01:05:22Let go of the trans brake.

01:05:36Car was up.

01:05:36Wheels up.

01:05:37Came down a little bit

01:05:38and I could feel it slow down.

01:05:39He just clipped me

01:05:40for sure less than a foot.

01:05:42Car probably was spinning

01:05:43going through.

01:05:43I have to look at the data.

01:05:44But, yeah, man,

01:05:45he made a great run.

01:05:46We made a great run.

01:05:47Holy s**t,

01:05:51what a rush, man.

01:05:53I mean,

01:05:53I ain't going to lie.

01:05:56When you got a captain

01:05:57like Ryan,

01:05:58it's got a s**t

01:05:59ton of momentum right now.

01:06:00You got Nate coming over,

01:06:01it's got a s**t ton of momentum.

01:06:03Racing,

01:06:04that s**t contagious

01:06:05to pull up here

01:06:07third round with him.

01:06:09He ain't in third round

01:06:10because he's no slouch.

01:06:11I was worried about that one.

01:06:13It's a damn good feeling.

01:06:14Now we're back-to-back semifinals.

01:06:16We got to get it done

01:06:17this week, though.

01:06:18I mean,

01:06:19s**t, that was close.

01:06:21I could tell.

01:06:22Can you tell or no?

01:06:23I mean,

01:06:23not until right there

01:06:25at the stripe

01:06:25and he was boom right there.

01:06:26I knew he was close.

01:06:28I couldn't see you.

01:06:28I was like, s**t.

01:06:29Did you see him a little bit

01:06:30and reel me in or no?

01:06:31No, you didn't see me.

01:06:32I didn't see you either.

01:06:33Oh, okay.

01:06:34Oh, s**t.

01:06:34You want to see that?

01:06:35That was good.

01:06:36Good job.

01:06:37Y'all got a hot rod again,

01:06:37don't you?

01:06:38Yeah, yeah.

01:06:38I can tell.

01:06:39Yeah.

01:06:39Would have been nice

01:06:40to stick Damon out

01:06:41because he's on Team Kai

01:06:42right now

01:06:43and that would have

01:06:44really helped us

01:06:45going into the next round.

01:06:46Good job getting it

01:06:47back together, dude.

01:06:48Yeah, yeah.

01:06:48You got a car.

01:06:51Next fair,

01:06:52we've got Robin Roberts

01:06:53going up against

01:06:54Daddy Dave Comstock.

01:06:57Daddy Dave,

01:06:58it's going to be

01:06:58a good matchup.

01:07:00Third round,

01:07:00I draw Daddy Dave.

01:07:02Look, Dave's been inconsistent.

01:07:04He's not that fast,

01:07:05but he's taking big jumps.

01:07:10We've just got to see

01:07:15how this goes.

01:07:16He's totally unpredictable.

01:07:17And Robin Roberts

01:07:40going to get the win there

01:07:41with that pass.

01:07:42Nice job.

01:07:43Daddy Dave is not enough.

01:07:47Robin didn't disappoint him.

01:07:50Down through there,

01:07:51right before the stripe,

01:07:52I looked over

01:07:52and he's right beside me.

01:07:54So it was one of those races

01:07:55that you had to look up

01:07:55to see the win light.

01:07:57And I'll take that loss

01:07:58every day of the week.

01:08:00That's the way.

01:08:02That's the way.

01:08:04Good run.

01:08:05Good run.

01:08:06This last pair

01:08:07coming up right now,

01:08:08Kyle Canyon

01:08:09going up

01:08:10against Ryan Martin.

01:08:12Going to be

01:08:13a good one, folks.

01:08:17This race has been

01:08:20pretty big for us so far.

01:08:21We're making headway.

01:08:23I think we're ahead

01:08:24right now in second place.

01:08:25I believe we're gaining

01:08:26ground on Kai's team.

01:08:30All of Kai's drivers

01:08:30are out except for Damon.

01:08:32Damon's the only one

01:08:32that's going on.

01:08:34You know,

01:08:34it's going to be tough,

01:08:35but I think when this

01:08:36is all said and done,

01:08:36if we can keep doing

01:08:37what we're doing,

01:08:38we're going to close

01:08:38the gap dramatically.

01:08:39We drew Ryan Martin.

01:08:46I'm excited about it.

01:08:48He's one of the biggest

01:08:48bears out here,

01:08:49if not the biggest,

01:08:50and I want this one.

01:08:53We're going to go out

01:08:54there and send it.

01:08:54This will be a big round

01:08:56for us if we can get

01:08:57past him.

01:08:57The chutes didn't come out.

01:09:23Are you okay?

01:09:24The chutes come out?

01:09:25Yeah.

01:09:27There's been a lot

01:09:28of people jump,

01:09:29a lot of people won

01:09:29that shouldn't have won,

01:09:30and people just taking

01:09:32shots at the trees,

01:09:33and he took a little

01:09:34stab at it,

01:09:35went red,

01:09:35we got the W.

01:09:36So I don't like to win

01:09:37like that, personally,

01:09:38but I don't like to lose

01:09:39like that either.

01:09:40So this is what it is.

01:09:41We'll take the win.

01:09:52Man, you said it was

01:09:52going to be a good clean run.

01:09:53He gave it a little jump.

01:09:54You know, I had no intention

01:09:55of doing anything stupid up there.

01:09:56It wasn't enough.

01:09:57Yeah, I know.

01:09:59I went up on the chip

01:10:00and it stuttered there

01:10:01for a second

01:10:01and kind of got me off going.

01:10:02It's all good.

01:10:03Oh, yeah.

01:10:04I'll get you a clean one one day.

01:10:05It's all good.

01:10:07I do not know

01:10:08what is going on

01:10:08with these parachutes.

01:10:11Going into the semifinals,

01:10:13two of the four racers

01:10:14are from Team Ryan Martin.

01:10:16That will guarantee

01:10:17that they pull

01:10:17into the second place position

01:10:19at the end of this race.

01:10:21Meanwhile, Damon Merchant

01:10:22has the entire

01:10:23Team Kai Kelly

01:10:24on his back.

01:10:25If he can win this,

01:10:27Team Kai Kelly

01:10:27stays in first.

01:10:29Now,

01:10:30we are down

01:10:31to four.

01:10:33Four drivers remain.

01:10:34They've been battling

01:10:34through this field.

01:10:37Well, let's go ahead

01:10:37and start it right now.

01:10:39Team Ryan Martin

01:10:40standing strong

01:10:41with two of the four drivers.

01:10:44Good job, Robin.

01:10:45Nice job, Ryan Martin

01:10:46and Robin Roberts.

01:10:47Also, Ryan,

01:10:48with this performance today,

01:10:50y'all are now

01:10:50in second place

01:10:52in the team standings.

01:10:53You have

01:10:54past Team Daddy Dave.

01:10:57Nobody wants to draw

01:10:58anybody at this point.

01:10:59Go ahead and embrace that

01:11:00that you're going

01:11:01to get someone fast.

01:11:03Taking the last one?

01:11:04Yeah, I'll let y'all

01:11:05draw each other.

01:11:06They're all bad.

01:11:08All right.

01:11:09Team Ryan Martin

01:11:10probably trying to stay

01:11:11away from each other.

01:11:11Where are my number ones?

01:11:16Oh, boy.

01:11:18Kayla Morton

01:11:19versus Ryan Martin,

01:11:21which means

01:11:22my second pair

01:11:23will be Damon Merchant

01:11:24versus Robin Roberts.

01:11:27All right, y'all.

01:11:27You know who you're racing.

01:11:29One more round

01:11:29and you're racing

01:12:08You hear popcorn?

01:12:09I hear popcorn.

01:12:11They do a lot

01:12:12of barbecue down here.

01:12:13How many hot dogs

01:12:14do you think

01:12:14they sell at a regular event?

01:12:16Can't pass up

01:12:16a track corn dog.

01:12:18Yeah, I'm a sucker

01:12:18for popcorn, dude.

01:12:19That's true.

01:12:24Thank you very much.

01:12:25They gave me a little limon.

01:12:27I don't know about this raddy.

01:12:28That's in the onion family.

01:12:29That stuff's got to go.

01:13:04I know you don't really

01:13:04like it either.

01:13:05Oh, no, hell no.

01:13:05I don't like it any more

01:13:06than you do.

01:13:06It's not a really good time.

01:13:07Yeah, I know.

01:13:08My fun meter's been a lot,

01:13:10you know, higher at other races.

01:13:11Yeah, right?

01:13:12All right, see you

01:13:13on the other side.

01:13:13Okay, good luck.

01:13:14Good luck to you.

01:13:15Semifinals, super tough.

01:13:17Final four.

01:13:18No draw is a good draw,

01:13:20but we got Ryan Morton,

01:13:21and we're just going to go

01:13:22wax that ass.

01:13:24That's it.

01:13:25Man, forget making a final.

01:13:26Let's win a final.

01:13:28It is time.

01:13:29I haven't won one

01:13:29since the very first one,

01:13:31and no better time to win

01:13:33than now with his points

01:13:34and a half coming into play,

01:13:35and I think we're back

01:13:36to one of them feared cars.

01:13:41All right, so I'm in the

01:13:48semifinals.

01:13:49We have, you know,

01:13:50slowly started to get back

01:13:51a handle on the car

01:13:52coming off the win

01:13:53a couple of races ago

01:13:54at Maple Grove.

01:13:55We did lose to a guess

01:13:57last weekend,

01:13:58but, you know,

01:13:59haven't had that happen

01:13:59to us yet.

01:14:00That being said,

01:14:01I got Kayla.

01:14:01Kayla's known to guess

01:14:02a little bit.

01:14:03She didn't do it against

01:14:03Sean in the last run,

01:14:05but she might do it against me.

01:14:07I don't know.

01:14:09My team is in a good position

01:14:11right now.

01:14:11I don't know how close

01:14:12we are to, you know,

01:14:13to get towards that first place.

01:14:15Damon is holding strong

01:14:16for Kai's team, though,

01:14:17so there's that.

01:14:18But every time that me

01:14:19and Robin advance

01:14:21and continue to advance,

01:14:22we gain more on Kai's team.

01:14:24So what we really need here

01:14:25is I need to take out Kayla.

01:14:27Robin needs to take out Damon.

01:14:30Well, folks,

01:14:31this is the Invitational

01:14:32semifinals right here.

01:14:33Winner of this race

01:14:33goes on to the finals

01:14:34to race for $40,000.

01:14:37Let's see who it'll be.

01:14:38Kayla Morton in the right lane,

01:14:40Ryan Martin in the left.

01:14:46Good job, Ryan.

01:15:14Good job, girl.

01:15:15Did you make an okay pass?

01:15:19Yeah.

01:15:19Just a close, clean race.

01:15:20Probably had me by, like,

01:15:21half a car.

01:15:22Just all the way down,

01:15:23you know?

01:15:24Appreciate you not guessing.

01:15:25No, no problem.

01:15:28Hey, I kind of don't like that

01:15:29when I'm on the other end of it.

01:15:31I know.

01:15:31So I kind of get it,

01:15:32you know?

01:15:33I know.

01:15:34It sucks.

01:15:36Ryan Martin will go

01:15:37to the finals.

01:15:38Let's see who he'll face

01:15:39between Damon Merchant

01:15:40and Robin Roberts.

01:15:43We need it.

01:15:44Yep.

01:15:44We're racing like we need

01:15:46the you know what I mean?

01:15:48We're out here to win.

01:15:49Like friends.

01:15:50You know,

01:15:51Robin's sitting over there

01:15:52with four motors in his trailer

01:15:53and we've got our one.

01:15:56It's hard to pull the trigger

01:15:57and go,

01:15:58okay,

01:15:58this will be the run

01:15:59where we might

01:15:59end this thing.

01:16:03But if there's one thing

01:16:04I'd say about Robin,

01:16:05when he's on,

01:16:06he's on.

01:16:07Have a good run, man.

01:16:08Be safe.

01:16:08Good luck, dude.

01:16:10So if he's in the semifinals,

01:16:12he's probably got a hot rod

01:16:13here this weekend.

01:16:14And like I said,

01:16:15he's one of those

01:16:16that has some momentum

01:16:17going into this weekend

01:16:18on Ryan's team.

01:16:20And it may be just

01:16:21one of them deals,

01:16:22me being the last guy

01:16:23on Kai's team.

01:16:24Ryan and them

01:16:25are making big moves,

01:16:26making a push

01:16:27into that second place.

01:16:28And they're coming.

01:16:28They got a lot of momentum.

01:16:29So if I've got

01:16:30to shut them down

01:16:30one by one,

01:16:31that's the plan

01:16:32for this weekend.

01:16:42All right.

01:16:43Last fair here

01:16:44in the semifinals.

01:16:45The Invitational Class

01:16:46is going to be

01:16:47Robin Roberts

01:16:47in the left lane

01:16:48going up against

01:16:49Damon Merchant

01:16:50in the right.

01:16:59I want him

01:17:00to drag his ass

01:17:01so bad.

01:17:02I want him

01:17:02to drag his ass

01:17:03so bad.

01:17:04Yeah, I know.

01:17:04I want him

01:17:04to drag his ass

01:17:05so bad.

01:17:29And Robin Roberts

01:17:33goes red.

01:17:34Yeah!

01:17:35Hell yeah!

01:17:35Yeah, baby!

01:17:36This is the win

01:17:37to Damon Merchant.

01:17:39He took a shot at it.

01:17:41What you get for guessing?

01:17:50Did you win?

01:17:51Should have talked

01:17:51to your boy

01:17:52about that red light

01:17:53and no.

01:17:54No, did he go red?

01:17:55Did he get in his head?

01:17:55I didn't think,

01:17:56not on purpose.

01:17:57Hey, if he did it,

01:17:58he didn't do it on purpose.

01:17:59Uh-huh.

01:18:01Did you go red?

01:18:04After all that

01:18:05I screwed the pooch

01:18:07is what I did.

01:18:08Wasn't much of a race.

01:18:09I think all the talk

01:18:10and all the stuff

01:18:11just going on,

01:18:12man, I just let go early.

01:18:13I don't know,

01:18:14flinch, let go,

01:18:15whatever it is.

01:18:16But we were early

01:18:17and it was done.

01:18:18You can kind of lie, dog.

01:18:20Huh?

01:18:20You can kind of lie.

01:18:23Woo!

01:18:24They've been chattering

01:18:25like a little sewing circle

01:18:27about me guessing.

01:18:28And there's one thing

01:18:31I can do out here

01:18:31that's cut some heads off

01:18:32on that tree.

01:18:33They got in Robin's head.

01:18:35They told him I was guessing.

01:18:36And he anticipated it

01:18:38and went red.

01:18:39And that's what happens.

01:18:42So, let them guess

01:18:44if they think,

01:18:45if they can think

01:18:45I'm guessing all they want.

01:18:46But it's going to

01:18:47themselves.

01:18:47Did he go red?

01:18:48What the f*** are you at?

01:18:51What do you mean?

01:18:52Did you make it?

01:18:53Yeah, he just led me

01:18:54the half a car

01:18:55the whole way.

01:18:55Oh, you didn't make

01:18:56the finals?

01:18:57No.

01:18:58Sorry.

01:18:59I'll let you down.

01:19:00I'll let you down.

01:19:01Well, I mean,

01:19:03yeah, they've been

01:19:04gaining points.

01:19:05He's very fast.

01:19:06I kind of needed you

01:19:06on that one.

01:19:07I know.

01:19:10So,

01:19:11your invitational finals

01:19:13will be Ryan Martin

01:19:14versus Damon Merchant

01:19:16for $40,000.

01:19:26Well, if you,

01:19:27I think either way,

01:19:28win or lose,

01:19:29we're still ahead,

01:19:30but not by most,

01:19:30like five points.

01:19:32If you win,

01:19:33we're ahead by like

01:19:34maybe 15 or 20.

01:19:36We trade over

01:19:36to Kai's team now.

01:19:38It's kind of a breath

01:19:38of fresh air for us.

01:19:40And it's starting to pay off.

01:19:41You know,

01:19:42we've taken down

01:19:43some big, big hitters today.

01:19:45Starting with Lizzie

01:19:46and Nate,

01:19:47Giuseppe,

01:19:48Robin,

01:19:49like we have not

01:19:50had an easy road

01:19:51to get here,

01:19:51so I couldn't be

01:19:52more happy right now.

01:19:54Good luck.

01:19:54Thank you, ma'am.

01:19:55Good luck, babe.

01:19:56You got this.

01:19:57Thank you, mama.

01:19:58You got it.

01:19:59Ryan and them

01:19:59make a big push,

01:20:01and we're doing

01:20:01everything we can

01:20:02to single-handedly

01:20:03hold them off.

01:20:04It's our night to win.

01:20:05It's his helmet goes on.

01:20:08It's business.

01:20:09People's champ

01:20:10versus the reigning champ.

01:20:12We've worked our ass

01:20:12off to get here,

01:20:13so I couldn't be more

01:20:15proud at the moment

01:20:15for my crew

01:20:17and in the car.

01:20:18All right,

01:20:19come on.

01:20:20This is your

01:20:22invitational final.

01:20:27This will be

01:20:28the last race

01:20:29of the night.

01:20:30Over in the right lane,

01:20:32backing up

01:20:32the pro charge

01:20:33to Merrill.

01:20:34That is going to be

01:20:35Jamie Merchant

01:20:36going up

01:20:37against Ryan Martin

01:20:39in the left lane.

01:20:40I'm excited

01:20:41to be racing

01:20:42in another finals,

01:20:43win or lose.

01:20:44Of course,

01:20:44that's not going

01:20:45to change me.

01:20:45We're still going

01:20:46to try to win it,

01:20:47try to collect us

01:20:48another victory

01:20:48for the season

01:20:49to try to make up

01:20:50for how bad we did

01:20:51at the beginning

01:20:51of the season.

01:20:52We got Damon,

01:20:53and Damon's car

01:20:54runs really good.

01:20:54I haven't got to race

01:20:55him this year,

01:20:56but you know what?

01:20:57I've been wanting

01:20:58to see how fast

01:20:58this car is.

01:20:59This is the best way.

01:21:01Once again,

01:21:02this race is for $40,000.

01:21:05Pick one,

01:21:06and ride

01:21:06with the folks.

01:21:21And Damon Merchant

01:21:23is your winner.

01:21:26Damon Merchant.

01:21:27Oh, my God.

01:21:28Oh, my God.

01:21:29Oh, my God.

01:21:30Oh, my God.

01:21:33Oh, my God.

01:21:34Oh, my God.

01:21:36I feel like I'm

01:21:36on top of the world

01:21:37right now,

01:21:37and I can't help

01:21:38compare it to a video game

01:21:40where you work your way

01:21:41through these stages

01:21:42up to the big boss.

01:21:44What a animal.

01:21:46Oh, my God.

01:21:48Ryan's the reigning champ,

01:21:49the captain of the team.

01:21:51How the you do that

01:21:52right there?

01:21:52I took out

01:21:53the whole team.

01:21:55If I can stay

01:21:55consistent on the light,

01:21:57the crew's got the car

01:21:58moving a little bit

01:21:58faster each round,

01:21:59it's a recipe

01:22:00for a championship,

01:22:02and that's what we're after.

01:22:03Hey, look,

01:22:04I don't know

01:22:05if you know or not,

01:22:05but you just won

01:22:06$40,000, my friend.

01:22:08Wow.

01:22:08And you pretty much

01:22:10put the entire

01:22:11Team Kai Kelly

01:22:12on your back.

01:22:13You are...

01:22:14I'm gonna say

01:22:14you're the sole reason

01:22:15why Team Kai Kelly

01:22:16is still number one.

01:22:18And there you have it.

01:22:19Damon Merchant

01:22:20beats three-time champion

01:22:21Ryan Martin

01:22:22to win his second

01:22:23invitational race

01:22:24of the season.

01:22:25That keeps Team Kai Kelly

01:22:26in first

01:22:27and moves Team

01:22:28Ryan Martin

01:22:28into second.

01:22:30Best 2,500

01:22:31I ever chipped in.

01:22:35But heading into

01:22:36the second-to-last race,

01:22:38things are extremely

01:22:38close at the top.

01:22:40There's only 70 points

01:22:41between the first

01:22:42and third-place teams.

01:22:45Next week...

01:22:46Alabama International Dragway.

01:22:48Y'all have packed this place.

01:22:49It's not a place

01:22:50to sit anywhere.

01:22:51Nice job.

01:22:52It's the second-to-last

01:22:53race of the year.

01:22:54Don't make me make

01:22:55the decision you make.

01:22:56I'm going.

01:22:57And the wheels

01:22:58are coming off.

01:23:00Going into the last

01:23:00two races

01:23:01and I'm trying to give

01:23:02an option

01:23:03that we could possibly

01:23:04win.

01:23:07We're not ready to quit.

01:23:08We still got one more race

01:23:09that's double points

01:23:10and today's points and a half.

01:23:12It's anybody's game.

01:23:13You never told me

01:23:14you was going to trade me.

01:23:15You kept telling me

01:23:15I'm safe, I'm safe, right?

01:23:16Last week.
