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!

00:00:35Thanks a note 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!

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

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

00:01:07Here we go!

00:01:08You said he's a boy there, huh?

00:01:20He's a man.

00:01:21He's a man.

00:01:22He's a man.

00:01:23Thanks.

00:01:24Appreciate it, bro.

00:01:25Appreciate you.

00:01:26Appreciate you.

00:01:27Thank you very much.

00:01:28All right, Galat Motorsports Park, how y'all doing today?

00:01:43Y'all can do way better than that.

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

00:01:51Galat Motorsports Park, how are 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.

00:02:10That'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 Galat Motorsports Park, and it is time for the Invitational Race.

00:02:25For the first time all season long, each round is now worth points and a half, which

00:02:30means when 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.

00:02:46There 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.

00:02:59So, we all know we got to do as well as we can with these points and a half and then

00:03:07the double.

00:03:08We 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 gonna 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.

00:03:24I offered 7,500.

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

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

00:03:29Luckily, my team said that they'd all pitch in.

00:03:32So, it's doable now.

00:03:34Eardrop and dock.

00:03:35Got to, man.

00:03:36Yeah.

00:03:37Got to.

00:03:38I get it.

00:03:39At this point, we have to make a business decision and you can't think with your heart

00:03:41every time.

00:03:42Yep.

00:03:43You know what I mean?

00:03:44Got so much broken to pay for.

00:03:47I get it.

00:03:48No, and that's why I wanted to talk to you because I didn't, I know that, yeah, me moving

00:03:56don't necessarily help you, but it helps you financially.

00:03:58Yep.

00:03:59So, the train with Scott Taylor, man, 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.

00:04:15Our resources are limited compared to, you know, some of the other ones that are out here,

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

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

00:04:27You know, they can go on a winning team and possibly win a championship.

00:04:32This is the second week we got Damon on the team.

00:04:36Hi, man.

00:04:37We're glad to have you, man.

00:04:38Yeah.

00:04:39Good job.

00:04:40Glad to be here.

00:04:41Yeah.

00:04:42Sorry we .

00:04:43I'm glad to have him at the last invitation because he helped me bail you guys out.

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 at the last race.

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

00:04:53We turned our luck around.

00:04:54So I'm looking for the uphill climb now because we already went back to the bottom.

00:04:59Now it's time to come back up.

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

00:05:03What sucks is I've always been number two.

00:05:05So there was no stress.

00:05:06There 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 of races, especially

00:05:14knowing that people are going to be getting points in the half and double points.

00:05:17Yeah.

00:05:18We'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.

00:05:23Then 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.

00:05:30Oh, yeah.

00:05:31As long as we can keep things together.

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

00:05:37Yes.

00:05:38And his team.

00:05:39And Nate.

00:05:40And you got a point and a half, a point and a half, and then double points.

00:05:42Yes.

00:05:43We need to stop Nate Taylor.

00:05:44Yes.

00:05:45I want us to win.

00:05:46Yeah.

00:05:47I mean what we're here for.

00:05:49Oh, look at this.

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

00:05:54It's crazy.

00:05:56I like that.

00:05:58What's up, Scotty?

00:05:59Hey, man.

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

00:06:01Good, buddy.

00:06:02How are you doing?

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

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

00:06:07Fine.

00:06:08It gives you your chance as a team captain to make changes or trades.

00:06:13.

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

00:06:17I stabbed in the back.

00:06:18Everybody.

00:06:19It's awesome.

00:06:20And as always, we start with the team that has the most biggest chance.

00:06:24Last place.

00:06:25Yeah.

00:06:26Yeah.

00:06:27Dean, any changes for you before this race?

00:06:29No.

00:06:30We're good.

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, whoa.

00:06:41What are we going to do to get there?

00:06:41Oh, hey!

00:06:42Oh, hey!

00:06:43Oh, my God.

00:06:44Is it going to happen?

00:06:45Yeah.

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

00:06:47We need, we need.

00:06:48Wait, wait.

00:06:48How much is there?

00:06:49Like $7,500.

00:06:50Where's the scooter?

00:06:51That's his deal.

00:06:52That's his deal.

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

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

00:06:57A $250?

00:06:58Yeah, a scooter.

00:06:59Is that the small one?

00:07:00Yeah.

00:07:01He didn't, he didn't say what kind.

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

00:07:03No, see there?

00:07:04I think they, they come upon a pretty good agreement.

00:07:06I learned over to pay $5,000, really wanted $10,000.

00:07:08They met in the middle, did $7,500.

00:07:10He even got me to chip in a Burmax scooter.

00:07:13So everybody's out of pocket a little bit, but hey, if I can go up to a team that's doing

00:07:17good and 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?

00:07:25We didn't talk about that.

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

00:07:27I didn't hear that.

00:07:28Oh, yeah.

00:07:29No, we never talked about that.

00:07:30Doc was the guy.

00:07:31Oh, yeah.

00:07:32Doc was the guy.

00:07:33Now the money stopped.

00:07:34Hold up.

00:07:35This is pretty funny.

00:07:36So close.

00:07:37Now, hold on.

00:07:38There's something else I want to talk about.

00:07:39Oh, .

00:07:40I want to do, okay, I want, I want nothing for Brandon, but I want Brandon to go also.

00:07:45Nothing for Brandon.

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

00:07:50Uh, B-Rad.

00:07:51Okay, B-Rad and Doc and our deal here and 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-Rad yet.

00:08:07Well, Brandon James is already in.

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

00:08:12Sorry, B-Rad.

00:08:13Uh, I appreciate everything, but at this point, we have to have five people in at all times

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

00:08:22Yeah.

00:08:23Deal?

00:08:24Personally, I think it's a good deal.

00:08:25Oh, dang.

00:08:26All right.

00:08:27We got a deal.

00:08:28Okay, done deal.

00:08:29You got two new teammates.

00:08:30So, sorry, Doc.

00:08:31Doc.

00:08:32Yeah, sorry, B-Rad.

00:08:33Yeah.

00:08:34I told him I'd let him race his way in today before I thought about trading him.

00:08:37But to be in this series as long as I have been and knowing what's going on this year

00:08:41with the points, the teams, and the already trading and swapping of team players already,

00:08:47you have to be an idiot not to realize that at any given day, your weakest link could be traded.

00:08:53I like that pin.

00:08:54That's right.

00:08:55All right, Bodie.

00:08:56You still have a couple guys on your team you have not sold.

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

00:09:01You've got Bowman and Bobby.

00:09:03No, no, no, man.

00:09:04Bowman and Bobby.

00:09:05Uh-uh.

00:09:06Okay.

00:09:07We're good.

00:09:08Okay.

00:09:09Swanstrom.

00:09:10Uh, no, I'm good.

00:09:11Okay.

00:09:12Ryan.

00:09:13Yeah.

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

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

00:09:17You did.

00:09:18It paid off.

00:09:19Yeah.

00:09:20So, we're good.

00:09:21Dave.

00:09:22Uh, I got Kyle back, so I got all five in.

00:09:24We're good.

00:09:25Kai.

00:09:26I'm good.

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

00:09:29You 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, it really doesn't matter who it is.

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

00:09:48In the captain's meeting, we saw another big trade.

00:09:51Murillo put up Scott Taylor and Brandon James in exchange for Doc, B-Rad, $7,500, and a scooter.

00:09:57The big ticket items in the trade were very strange, but look, these captains are trying to get their angle into this championship.

00:10:03This change could make a huge difference.

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

00:10:08Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:10:09Thanks.

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

00:10:11We do still have a shot, though.

00:10:12Absolutely.

00:10:13Especially with the points and a half today, next week, and then double.

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

00:10:19Still achievable.

00:10:20It's doable.

00:10:21It is.

00:10:22We have to do well this weekend to still continue to have them.

00:10:25We need the Nates drawing the kies and, you know.

00:10:28Ryan drawing Robin.

00:10:29Yes.

00:10:30Yes.

00:10:31Stuff like that.

00:10:32I agree.

00:10:33So we need some of them teams to go out.

00:10:34So we need some luck.

00:10:35Yeah, we need some luck and us running good at the same time.

00:10:38I think all five people on this team could win at any moment.

00:10:40I think so, too.

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

00:10:42One of us needs to win this event this weekend.

00:10:44It would be nice.

00:10:45For sure.

00:10:46With the addition of Scott and Brandon, Team Murder Nova now has all five drivers in the

00:10:52event, leaving Team Murillo with none.

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

00:10:58The top three teams in points, Team Kai, Team Ryan, and Team Dave also have all five in,

00:11:04while Disco Dean, Bodie, and Swanstrom each have four.

00:11:08With this event being points and a half, every driver in the field will earn 15 points just

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

00:11:15But these captains know they got to move as many drivers as possible into the later rounds

00:11:20in order to stay in contention for the championship.

00:11:23As you can see, we have a group of drivers here on the starting line.

00:11:27This group of drivers is the 32 drivers that will be competing for $40,000 today.

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

00:11:34These drivers are going to each draw a chip out of the bucket.

00:11:37You want me to pull you out?

00:11:38You want me to pull you out?

00:11:39I thought there was a chip.

00:11:40I thought there was a chip.

00:11:41Round one, there are a couple matchups to keep your eye on.

00:11:56Scott Taylor's going up against Kyle Canyon.

00:11:58Look, you got to think Scott is really wanting to prove that he is worth the money

00:12:03and the scooter that was put up to get the trade.

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

00:12:09Look, two new teammates, two heavy hitters going up against each other.

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

00:12:22and Axeman sitting on the second-place team.

00:12:26All right, folks. Invitational first round starts right now.

00:12:29First pair.

00:12:30That's going to be Rich Bruder going up against David Gates.

00:12:35First pair out.

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

00:12:37Sorry, David. Don't matter.

00:12:38We got it.

00:12:39Round one, we got David Gates.

00:12:41First round's a tough round, and we've got to put it fast.

00:12:43We can't take him late, so if we can knock him out on this round,

00:12:46you know, that allows us to get some more points,

00:12:48even though it's one and a half points.

00:12:49So that's it. We've got to do what we've got to do.

00:12:54You 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, and we're going to let this thing go

00:13:03and get to the other end first, come back over here,

00:13:05service his old girl, cool her down, and be ready to go rounds today.

00:13:13The goal when we got here is to go win the thing,

00:13:15and after testing Friday night, I feel like we got the car to beat here this weekend,

00:13:17along with our team captain, Kai Kelly, and we know where we stand at now,

00:13:19and the car's reacting to what we're doing to it.

00:13:20And I think at the end of the night, I hope to be standing here,

00:13:21holding that trophy, drinking cold beer.

00:13:22.

00:13:31.

00:13:32.

00:13:33.

00:13:35.

00:13:37.

00:13:38.

00:13:39.

00:13:40.

00:13:41.

00:13:42.

00:13:52.

00:13:59All right, folks. The imitation of first round, start right now, first pair.

00:14:01That's going to be Richard Bruder, going up against David and Gates.

00:14:06.

00:14:11And Rich Bruder takes the win.

00:14:24Great drag, Rich Bruder, turns on the win light.

00:14:30Ours got all out back.

00:14:32What did you do?

00:14:33Two o'clock.

00:14:34First car's out.

00:14:41It's hard to be in the first pairs out.

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

00:14:49All right, folks, next pair coming up right now.

00:14:51You're going to have Bodie going up against Kayla Morton.

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

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

00:14:59The next three races are extremely important.

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

00:15:03Points and a half, and then double points.

00:15:06It is invitational day.

00:15:07It's a very important day because we do have points and a half.

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

00:15:13just because points and a half can 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 and a tuner's computer race.

00:15:22Yes, it's definitely a different track,

00:15:24and we tend to thrive on off-the-trailer races,

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

00:15:29Cool, let's go do it.

00:15:31We drew Bodie round one, which is a pretty solid draw.

00:15:34Chase always tells me, draw good before I go,

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

00:15:40Team 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, but I feel good, man.

00:15:55I got the right lane.

00:15:56I liked it.

00:15:56I wanted it, so I'm ready to go out there

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

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

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

00:16:28He 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 that we had to fix,

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

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

00:16:42but he didn't.

00:16:44And yeah, on to round two, so it's smooth sailing now.

00:16:46All right, next pair coming up right now,

00:16:49we got Chuck Sightseger going up against your grade 8 winner,

00:16:53Nate Saylor.

00:16:55Well, we finally got that monkey off our back.

00:16:58Yeah.

00:16:59I wanted that grade 8 badly.

00:17:01Badly.

00:17:02We just got off the grade 8 last night.

00:17:04We got our first grade 8 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 to collect some points.

00:17:12Everything should stay the same.

00:17:13We got the new pushrods in and we got more room on our table

00:17:18for another trophy, so I really want to do that today.

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

00:17:22Today is point and a half day,

00:17:24so with five guys going rounds from our team,

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

00:17:28Like, we could 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.

00:17:43I 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 out 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 or the last round,

00:18:06you've got to beat him in order to win this $40,000.

00:18:08So, hell, bring it off.

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.

00:18:34That just took whatever he gave it, so it did, didn't it?

00:18:36I was honestly afraid he 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.

00:18:47We turned on the green light.

00:18:48It went right down the line

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

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

00:18:52Hey, hey, go win this whole thing, man.

00:18:55Good job.

00:18:55You've been doing great the last couple of weeks.

00:18:57Thanks, brother.

00:18:57I like it.

00:18:59All right, folks.

00:19:00Next pair, Tony McKinney versus Clay Cole

00:19:02coming at you right now.

00:19:06I drew Tony McKinney.

00:19:15Today, the Points and a Half event is huge for us.

00:19:18We've got all five of our team members in the event.

00:19:22We've all got to perform.

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

00:19:24As long as we're one, two, three, four, five,

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

00:19:27So we weren't able to race our way in.

00:19:42We found some issues with 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 in in Colorado,

00:19:54went on to make it all 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.

00:20:01I'll take it.

00:20:31Clay Cole will take the win there.

00:20:34Nice pass for Clay Cole.

00:20:37Straight as an arrow there in that right lane.

00:20:39Great rip there for him.

00:20:43All right, folks, next 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 for, you know,

00:21:03racing Greg Chandler.

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

00:21:08You know, we're getting near the end of the year.

00:21:10We're just going to look at one round at a time.

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

00:21:14We've got a good hot rod

00:21:16and we're just going to make it happen today.

00:21:35And Mike Bowman gets the win there.

00:21:39Greg Chandler has some issues.

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

00:21:41All right, folks, next 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 some big, fast cars

00:21:49and fast numbers.

00:21:51All the fast guys will roll right up front.

00:21:53Round one, I drew Bobby Ducote.

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

00:21:56He can be fast, but 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.

00:22:01Man, 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 we'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 hope I stay out front of him

00:22:21and get the W because I've got to give me

00:22:23some freaking points.

00:22:24All right, folks, next pair,

00:22:37that's going to be Bobby Ducote

00:22:38going up against Robin Roberts.

00:22:54All right, folks, this next pair here,

00:23:22that's going to be Cali Mills.

00:23:24Going up against Brandon James.

00:23:27Go out there and quiver a little bit,

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

00:23:30until you 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 until 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 on the tree

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

00:23:49We broke a lot of things the 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 about where she's at,

00:24:09so I'm confident I'm going into the first round.

00:24:11And 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.

00:24:40What?

00:24:44Round one driver's meeting

00:24:45I 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.

00:24:58I just don't know

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

00:25:03Oh, my God!

00:25:04Oh, my God!

00:25:05Oh, my God!

00:25:06Oh, my God!

00:25:07Oh, my God!

00:25:08Oh, my God!

00:25:09Oh, my God!

00:25:10Good old Lutz.

00:25:13Somehow we've raced him three times now

00:25:15in the Invitational.

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

00:25:17We can get over one of them on this one,

00:25:19and we need it.

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

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

00:25:22so we're going to have a work cut out for us,

00:25:23but you've got to beat the best to be the best,

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

00:25:27They've got to be beat.

00:25:28Yeah, I need one of them.

00:25:29And Jeff Lutz is out of there like a rocket ship gets the win.

00:25:50Hey, Chris Rankin.

00:25:51Something break here right on the line.

00:25:56Oh.

00:25:58So the race went for me.

00:26:01Good for Lutz.

00:26:02Lutz got the win.

00:26:03Damn it, man.

00:26:04We'll get it apart here, see what happened.

00:26:10Hopefully Lutz can go on and move on

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

00:26:13Damn!

00:26:14All right, Kyle Canyon going up against Scott Scooter Taylor.

00:26:20Everything good, you think?

00:26:21We've got to shake these first-round blues.

00:26:24We're on a new team, Team Murder Nova now,

00:26:27and we've been stinking for about six races,

00:26:30and it's time to turn that around.

00:26:33A little bit of pressure.

00:26:36Probably be a pretty tight race with him.

00:26:38Yes.

00:26:39With Scott.

00:26:40We've got points to make up

00:26:41after the last two races being gone.

00:26:43Making that up pretty fast was points and a half today.

00:26:46I know Dave's counting on us to go rounds,

00:26:47and he was missing us the 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.

00:27:20And Kyle Canyon gets the win.

00:27:32What was that bobble bobble?

00:27:33He's just not comfortable in the car, man.

00:27:35I've been there, though.

00:27:37Whenever you lose so much, man,

00:27:38you're just not confident in the car.

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

00:27:41because he shouldn't have went up on the brake that early.

00:27:43Yeah, that was weird.

00:27:45Oh, .

00:27:46It seems like no matter how much we test,

00:27:49the first round is just killing us.

00:27:51And down towards the finish line,

00:27:53transmission line blows off.

00:27:55Thankfully, you know,

00:27:56if we're going to look at any kind of luck,

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

00:27:59It sprayed to the right side of the car,

00:28:01and honestly, that's pretty lucky.

00:28:03I'm not going to the hospital right now,

00:28:05so I'm going to take it as a win.

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

00:28:08I can watch my friends race,

00:28:09and we try to be the ones they're watching next week.

00:28:12Like a decent pass, or something happened?

00:28:15It blew a hydraulic line inside here.

00:28:17I'm just happy it didn't get me.

00:28:18It, like, shot...

00:28:20It burned all the carpet straight through, like...

00:28:22Next pair, that's going to be Larry Larson

00:28:25going up against Daddy Dave.

00:28:28I think I'll make the same pass

00:28:29that made the other night.

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

00:28:31Here in Galopp, we drew Dave again.

00:28:34We get a little chance to redeem ourselves today,

00:28:36first round again,

00:28:37so that'll put a little hurting on those guys

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

00:28:42And with this points deal,

00:28:43I think it's going to get pretty interesting

00:28:44in the next three races.

00:28:45We got really good test passes in the other night.

00:28:55The car'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 quite a few times this season,

00:29:02and he hasn't outran me yet.

00:29:04So I want to keep that streak going

00:29:06and see if we can go into the second round.

00:29:15And Daddy Dave kills him on the starting line.

00:29:32He jumped.

00:29:35I don't think he's a ****.

00:29:37I think Larry's late.

00:29:39I figured he knew we'd have his ass.

00:29:42Well, that race was a little...

00:29:44let's just say aggravating.

00:29:47Larry, if you think I jumped on you, I apologize.

00:29:49I had no intentions of guessing it.

00:29:51The crappy part about it is

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

00:29:54Don't stand down there to lie to me.

00:29:56I think he thinks I guessed on him.

00:30:00I don't know.

00:30:01I'm pretty sure I did not.

00:30:03Did I leave early? Was it green?

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

00:30:09All right, the next pair,

00:30:10you got Chuck 55 going up against Jim Howell.

00:30:12Good luck, Jim.

00:30:15Good luck, brother.

00:30:15You take it, you bet.

00:30:17Now we're moving into that points and a half

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

00:30:21so today is a big day.

00:30:22We drew our good friend Chuck 55.

00:30:24They've had some struggles here lately,

00:30:26but when that car makes a good rip,

00:30:27it's usually fast.

00:30:28I drew Jim Howell,

00:30:37and he's probably one of the five cars

00:30:41I wouldn't wish for in first round,

00:30:43but hey, eventually you're going to have

00:30:45to draw somebody fast,

00:30:46and I think we got the car that can beat him.

00:30:49I'm going to try to leave on him,

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

00:30:52I think we got it covered.

00:30:53All right, the next pair,

00:31:06you got Chuck 55 going up against Jim Howell.

00:31:09and Chuck 55 with a great pass.

00:31:29Gets the win.

00:31:31Nice job.

00:31:31Nice pass.

00:31:32Chuck 55 moving on the next round.

00:31:35Man, that was a drag race.

00:31:41I didn't try to go right.

00:31:42I seen him starting to make a move.

00:31:45And I thought, man,

00:31:46I just hope mine will stay hooked.

00:31:48And it did, thank goodness.

00:31:50All right, folks,

00:31:50next pair here in this invitational first round

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

00:31:54Driving the Pro Charge Camaro,

00:31:55that is going to be Damon Merchant

00:31:57going up against Lizzie Musi.

00:32:00Did you guys look at the air last or no?

00:32:02I haven't lately.

00:32:04It was like 1,300 last time I woke up.

00:32:06I think it was better on holiday.

00:32:09So today is the official 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.

00:32:20Okay, going in.

00:32:21Love you.

00:32:24Of course.

00:32:25We go out for first round of chip draw,

00:32:28and I get Damon Merchant first round.

00:32:30Damon was definitely not the one

00:32:32that I wanted to draw first round

00:32:33for invitational,

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

00:32:35and, you know, he's fast.

00:32:39It don't sound right, does 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 it was missing a couple.

00:32:53Nah, she would never come up here hurt on purpose.

00:33:03Pat would never do that.

00:33:05Pat's better now.

00:33:08Damon Merchant in the right lane.

00:33:11Lizzie over here in this left lane.

00:33:14Pat, you see it.

00:33:15Gracie, this is on board.

00:33:16And Damon Merchant

00:33:40gets her on the tree,

00:33:43never looks back.

00:33:45Car made a phenomenal pass,

00:33:50so I'm super pumped about that.

00:33:52The guy's been working their ass off,

00:33:54and we're heading in the right direction right now.

00:33:56We've got a hot rod that can win this thing.

00:33:59Good?

00:33:59Good job on that tree.

00:34:01Did I get it?

00:34:03Yeah, you did.

00:34:05It's all good.

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

00:34:08It really didn't?

00:34:09No.

00:34:10He said you...

00:34:11It was on the rev limiter.

00:34:12Yeah, I don't know what the hell's going on.

00:34:15I'm not having any luck,

00:34:17I can tell you.

00:34:18Sometimes I'd rather be lucky any time.

00:34:20I said that same thing.

00:34:21Yeah.

00:34:22Sometimes you've got to be lucky and good.

00:34:23Yeah.

00:34:24That sucks.

00:34:25We've got another freaking first-round loss

00:34:28eating away at me

00:34:29because it's been several events in a row,

00:34:31so...

00:34:32And that's not typical for us.

00:34:33We'll at least go a couple of rounds, you know?

00:34:37I don't know.

00:34:38This is a little rough.

00:34:39So now, keep going.

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

00:34:42Next fair, that's going to be Jimmy Taylor

00:34:44going up against Ryan Martin.

00:34:49Good luck, Blake.

00:34:49Thank you, man.

00:34:50Appreciate that.

00:34:53This is a big race.

00:34:55This is the first one of points and a half,

00:34:57so we've got three races left,

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

00:34:59points and a half, and double points.

00:35:01This being the first points and a half,

00:35:03and us getting all good draws,

00:35:05and Kai not getting such a good draw,

00:35:07this is our opportunity to catch him.

00:35:09He's been running away with this deal this year,

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

00:35:12and this is our chance to make a big move.

00:35:13So all it's going to take is a couple of us

00:35:15to get in the finals,

00:35:16which means we've got to have good cars that run good,

00:35:18and we stay away from each other.

00:35:30We're in North Carolina,

00:35:32getting ready to run the first round of the Invitational.

00:35:34We made it in yesterday.

00:35:36We drawled Ryan Martin, first pass.

00:35:39Ryan's strong.

00:35:40He runs good.

00:35:41I think we've got something for him, though.

00:35:43We ran Friday night.

00:35:43Our car ran the three best passes it's ever ran.

00:35:46We're going to leave it all on the line.

00:35:48And Ryan Martin right down Broadway gets the win.

00:36:09Nice job.

00:36:10Jimmy Taylor has some issues there in that left lane,

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

00:36:15This is points and a half,

00:36:16so every one of these rounds are super crucial.

00:36:18The important thing is just to keep going

00:36:19and collecting points.

00:36:20My team's sitting in a pretty good spot.

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

00:36:24I got Giuseppe left,

00:36:26and I think he's probably going to be in two,

00:36:27but we're sitting pretty good already.

00:36:30Good race, Jimmy.

00:36:32Good race, buddy.

00:36:33I busted rear-enter drive lines.

00:36:34Did you?

00:36:36I hate to hear that.

00:36:37I don't like that we didn't get a good race.

00:36:38Thanks, man.

00:36:39Appreciate it.

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

00:36:40Eh, part of it.

00:36:41If you need anything, let me know.

00:36:42Nah.

00:36:43Thanks, man.

00:36:44All right, folks.

00:36:45This next pair right here is going to be a good one.

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

00:36:48against Kai Kelly.

00:36:51Let's see how it goes.

00:36:53Yeah, it sucks about Damon and Lizzie

00:36:55drawing each other, though.

00:36:58It's two of our consistently fast cars.

00:37:01Yep.

00:37:02It's the first race of points and a half.

00:37:03We're hoping we can do better this week

00:37:05and go some rounds,

00:37:06because everybody's starting to catch us.

00:37:08Going into the day, I got five in,

00:37:09but the top four teams has got five in,

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

00:37:12We just, we really need to go rounds with them.

00:37:14We need to take them out round by round

00:37:16and hopefully be the last one standing.

00:37:32Around one, I drew Axeman.

00:37:33Axeman's been guessing on everybody,

00:37:34but I feel like me and him is good enough buddies

00:37:37that I think he'll give me a straight-up race,

00:37:38so I'm going to go up there and run my race.

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

00:37:41I'm going to leave on green and see what happens.

00:37:59All right, folks, this next pair right here

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

00:38:01That's going to be Axeman going up against Kai Kelly.

00:38:10Axeman's going to get the win.

00:38:24Kai Kelly's car dies on the starting line.

00:38:28Axeman gets the win.

00:38:30Kai Kelly's car dies on 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?

00:38:44We do our burnouts, I 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 of that kind of dumb-ass s*** happening.

00:38:52It's a tough loss for me today.

00:38:54It makes it aware the rest of these teams

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

00:38:57It just sucks.

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

00:38:59Nothing good comes from it,

00:39:01and I really don't not take it.

00:39:02I'm just pissed off, feeling sorry for myself,

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

00:39:10All right, folks, next pair 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 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.

00:39:29This 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,

00:39:54and the car was steadily gradually 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 on how to get everything ready,

00:40:01so hopefully this car will drive back straighter.

00:40:03And Seppi'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.

00:40:33This car out of nowhere, it just snapped sideways.

00:40:36If my dad was here,

00:40:37he probably could have ridden 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 for the first round.

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

00:40:49going up against Murder Nova.

00:40:52Hey, do you see a little starstruck

00:40:54race in Murder Nova,

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

00:40:56Oh, no.

00:40:57It's...

00:40:57It'll be a starstruck every 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.

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

00:42:01She was right there.

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

00:42:04but 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 smoke.

00:42:16It was.

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

00:42:18I mean, don'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 on 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, f***.

00:42:59All right, guys.

00:43:00Okay.

00:43:01Let's start with number ones.

00:43:05First pair, Mike Bowman versus Murder Nova.

00:43:11Number two.

00:43:12Oh, boy.

00:43:14It's going 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.

00:43:27Slade Cole versus Robin Roberts.

00:43:30Giuseppe versus Chuck 55.

00:43:34Number sevens.

00:43:35Rich Bruder versus Kayla Morton,

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

00:43:41Oh, boy.

00:43:42It's going to be Damon Merchant

00:43:44versus Nate Saylor.

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

00:43:50Ooh.

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

00:43:53You 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.

00:44:01Let's go.

00:44:05Well, here we go.

00:44:07First pair coming at you right now

00:44:08in 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 to the second round.

00:44:21Who do I draw?

00:44:23Sean.

00:44:24I 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, I haven't raced Bowman.

00:44:42I don't know if I've raced him yet 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 of problems with it

00:44:50and I actually think he'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 Ferdinandova

00:45:26takes the win

00:45:31with a great pass there

00:45:44in that left lane.

00:45:45Mike Bowman

00:45:45right there with him,

00:45:47but not enough.

00:45:50Ah, baby!

00:45:52I left on him

00:45:54and I never looked back after 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.

00:46:02Yes, it was.

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

00:46:04Yeah, it was big.

00:46:05Nice job, brother.

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

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

00:46:26Out of everybody

00:46:26in that damn group,

00:46:28there's two people I 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 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 was a close race, folks,

00:47:22but Ryan Martin

00:47:23able to turn that win light

00:47:24to get the win.

00:47:26After that pass,

00:47:27I can say that we made

00:47:28all 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've got

00:47:33a pretty good hot rod.

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

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

00:47:37That's all eight really fast cars.

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

00:47:41just how good we got it

00:47:42here pretty close.

00:47:43Race my next thing.

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

00:48:51shoots,

00:48:52did not come out,

00:48:53but he makes the turn,

00:48:54so that's good.

00:48:55That 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.

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

00:49:19You 60-footed

00:49:19the out of me.

00:49:21What happened out there?

00:49:22Shoots with no

00:49:23power.

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

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

00:49:26parashooters 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.

00:49:32All right, next pair.

00:49:34That is going to be

00:49:35Callie Mills

00:49:36going up against

00:49:37Daddy Dave Comstock.

00:49:41Chip draw for round two.

00:49:43I drew Daddy Dave.

00:49:44I've raced Daddy Dave

00:49:45quite a bit.

00:49:46He usually beats me,

00:49:48but I have a lot more

00:49:48confidence in my car.

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

00:49:51than when he's raced me

00:49:52in the past.

00:49:53Justin lost.

00:49:54Jim Howell lost.

00:49:55Anthony McKinney lost.

00:49:56So it is what it is.

00:49:57I'm just going to do my job,

00:49:58and hopefully I can continue

00:49:59on and carry the team,

00:50:01I'd say.

00:50:12Second round,

00:50:13we got Callie Mills.

00:50:14I raced with her dad,

00:50:15and I watched her dad

00:50:16growing up.

00:50:17Hayley's watched me race

00:50:18as she grew up.

00:50:19It's kind of cool

00:50:20to actually race

00:50:21one 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.

00:50:40great pass from him.

00:50:54Calie Mills also made a great

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

00:50:58but just not quite enough.

00:50:59The car's good.

00:51:00The 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 ducks.

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, green dad?

00:51:18Yeah.

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, go, 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, damn,

00:51:31she 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,

00:51:36I got to make sure

00:51:37I cut it off at the eighth mile,

00:51:38especially when she's smoking

00:51:39like 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, I go,

00:51:48damn, she was right there.

00:51:49Good job.

00:51:50Yeah.

00:51:51Good luck.

00:51:52All right, next pair

00:51:55coming up right 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 straight.

00:52:06Now we can have power.

00:52:08But 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 first round

00:52:13with only two left,

00:52:14me and Damon Merchant.

00:52:16So we're really going to have

00:52:17to pick up the slack,

00:52:18hopefully go some rounds

00:52:19and really stand up for our team

00:52:21so we can get these points

00:52:22and a half today

00:52:22to help keep our lead

00:52:24and keep them

00:52:24from coming closer to it.

00:52:34Drew Clay Cole,

00:52:35guy has been really fast 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.

00:52:52Robin 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 to the next round

00:53:26to get any more points,

00:53:27but honestly,

00:53:29the most fun I've had all weekend.

00:53:31Right on.

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

00:53:37Keep moving them around.

00:53:38Keep moving them around.

00:53:39All right, folks.

00:54:05Next pair coming up right now.

00:54:06We got Giuseppe

00:54:06going up against Chuck 55.

00:54:08All right, man.

00:54:10Real time.

00:54:12We drew Chuck 55.

00:54:14Raced Chuck 55

00:54:15at the last race,

00:54:16and we were able to 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.

00:54:34I don't like my 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 make

00:54:42more power than he can.

00:54:44If I can just be on my game,

00:54:45I think I'm going to pull

00:54:46this one off

00:54:46and get that monkey

00:54:47off my back.

00:54:47All right, folks.

00:55:00Next pair coming up right now.

00:55:01Now we got Giuseppe

00:55:01going up against Chuck 55.

00:55:20And Giuseppe going to win

00:55:23that one.

00:55:24Both drivers driving those things

00:55:27down through there, folks.

00:55:32We left together.

00:55:34He jumps out there.

00:55:36Half track, I'm driving away from him.

00:55:37And my car's going to the left.

00:55:39I chop the throttle.

00:55:41He literally came up on me

00:55:42and clipped me right at the end.

00:55:45Next time I draw him,

00:55:46I'm going to chunk that piece

00:55:47of kryptonite at him

00:55:48when I go by him.

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

00:55:55Woo!

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 Rich Bruder

00:56:02going up against Kayla Morton.

00:56:07Round two, we drew the Bruder brothers.

00:56:09And every race,

00:56:11they seem to get a little faster and faster.

00:56:12So we're going to be on our toes here,

00:56:14but we're ready.

00:56:14From a team aspect,

00:56:15we're not only looking out for Kai.

00:56:17We have to worry about Ryan

00:56:18because I think with his five drivers,

00:56:20he may have passed us.

00:56:21Down one for Ryan.

00:56:23If we take out Bruder,

00:56:24we just got to keep picking him off, man.

00:56:25We 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 are still in.

00:56:43Dave had four,

00:56:44so we got one more than them.

00:56:45Their team's running strong over there,

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

00:56:47what we have to do to get that win.

00:56:55And Kayla Morton will take the win there

00:57:07with that pass.

00:57:09Nice job.

00:57:09Good job.

00:57:10Good job.

00:57:12I definitely anticipated the light of Smidge.

00:57:20The deal is that they did it to Axeman last weekend,

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

00:57:24And it's just a cutthroat world out here, you know?

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

00:57:28And if there's room in the tree to guess or anticipate,

00:57:31you got to get them before they get you.

00:57:33And that's just how this 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 Nate Saylor

00:57:42going up against Damon Merchant.

00:57:45Somebody's going to have to knock off

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

00:57:48Second round here at Galat,

00:57:50we drew Nate.

00:57:50A little bit of a struggle

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

00:57:52Figured it out.

00:57:54He's been on fire ever since.

00:57:55But we're not teammates anymore.

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 to be a good rivalry right here.

00:58:16You know, he's walking around

00:58:17with a couple of winds under his belt.

00:58:19He's chest out.

00:58:20And he's riding that wave right now.

00:58:22And it's going to be up to us right here

00:58:23to knock him off that pestle.

00:58:29And Damon Merchant

00:58:43jumps the tree down

00:58:46and gets the win against Nate Saylor.

00:58:49Woo!

00:58:51As soon as I seen it illuminate,

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

00:58:55He didn't have a chance after that.

00:58:57We really threw a tune at it

00:58:59that, you know, we thought would go

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

00:59:02And we nailed it.

00:59:03I got to get back to cutting

00:59:04people's heads off up there.

00:59:05And that's exactly what

00:59:06I'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 or either way.

00:59:16He jumped probably a car and a half

00:59:17out on me out of the hole.

00:59:19And there's just no making up that ground.

00:59:21Did yours act up?

00:59:22No.

00:59:23He just had like two cars

00:59:25out on me on the hole.

00:59:26Did it really?

00:59:27Yep.

00:59:38All right, folks, here we go.

00:59:40Invitational round three

00:59:41drivers meeting coming at you right now.

00:59:43We started with 32 drivers.

00:59:45We are now down to eight.

00:59:48I will tell you there are two teams

00:59:49that still have three drivers standing.

00:59:52And that team is Daddy Dave

00:59:54with three drivers

00:59:55and team Ryan Martin

00:59:58with three drivers.

01:00:01Good job, boys.

01:00:02Let's go ahead and draw chips,

01:00:03see who's racing who

01:00:05here in this third round.

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

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

01:00:09Oh, hello.

01:00:10Well, hi.

01:00:11All right, my number ones,

01:00:15please step forward.

01:00:17Get it over with.

01:00:18Oh.

01:00:19It's going to be Kayla Morton

01:00:21versus Murder Nova.

01:00:23I don't know.

01:00:24All right, number twos.

01:00:27Giuseppe versus Damon Merchant.

01:00:31Number threes.

01:00:32Robin Roberts versus Daddy Dave,

01:00:37which means my 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

01:00:50and bring them in the stage lanes.

01:00:52Let's do it.

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

01:00:57Invitational round three.

01:01:00Coming at you right now.

01:01:02It'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 strong, though,

01:01:11with three players in.

01:01:13We're coming up in the underdog position.

01:01:15I really don't think anybody 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 about the points and a half

01:01:32because that can either make you or break you.

01:01:35I've spent all season

01:01:36getting to where I want to be right now,

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

01:01:40A couple bad weekends, man,

01:01:41I could have all that hard work taken away from me.

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

01:01:45and we're trying to be more on top of our game

01:01:47right now than ever.

01:01:47Here we go.

01:01:50Invitational round three.

01:01:52Coming at you right now.

01:01:53Over in the left lane.

01:01:55That is going to be Kayla Morton

01:01:57going up against Murder Nova

01:02:00in the right lane.

01:02:02Oh, and Kayla Morton takes the win.

01:02:26Wow.

01:02:27Kayla Morton rolling here today,

01:02:30able to take out Murder Nova.

01:02:33Close.

01:02:33What a great drag race.

01:02:35It's close.

01:02:37Yes, baby!

01:02:39What?

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

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

01:02:44I always feel like I can go all the way

01:02:47because he's just so fast,

01:02:49and it's always a neck-and-neck race,

01:02:50and, uh, 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 against Damon Merchant.

01:03:12All right, round three.

01:03:16We drew Damon Merchant.

01:03:17He's flying.

01:03:18My crew said they were watching him.

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

01:03:21Probably one of the fastest cars here right now,

01:03:23they're saying.

01:03:24So it's going to be a tough round for us.

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

01:03:30The car kind of was overpowering it there in the middle,

01:03:33so I actually turned it down a 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 right now

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

01:03:44We draw Giuseppe.

01:03:50I feel like they've got a lot of momentum on Ryan's team right now,

01:03:54and that's contagious.

01:03:56So you got two or three guys really running good.

01:03:59Those guys that's been struggling,

01:04:00they've got to get their act together.

01:04:01Those guys will help them get their act together.

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

01:04:06We took out Lizzie.

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

01:04:09And, you know, here we are against Giuseppe.

01:04:12So can't take anybody lightly at 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 handings right now

01:04:21are on the hunt.

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

01:04:25knock them down to our level with this big block.

01:04:31Over in the right lane,

01:04:47that is going to be Giuseppe

01:04:48going up against Damon Merchant.

01:04:52Driving that pro-charged Camaro.

01:04:54And Damon Merchant

01:05:16will take the win there.

01:05:19Folks, these races are super close.

01:05:21Woo!

01:05:24Let go of the trans brake.

01:05:36Car was up, wheels up.

01:05:37Came down a little bit,

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

01:05:39He just clipped me, for sure, less than a foot.

01:05:42Car probably was spinning going through.

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

01:05:44But, yeah, man, he made a great run.

01:05:46We made a great run.

01:05:50Holy what a rush, man.

01:05:52I mean, I ain't going to lie.

01:05:56When you got a captain like Ryan,

01:05:58it's got a ton of momentum right now.

01:06:00You got Nate coming over.

01:06:01It's got a ton of momentum.

01:06:03Racing, that's contagious.

01:06:06To pull up here, third round with him.

01:06:09He ain't in third round because 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 this week, though.

01:06:18I mean, that was close.

01:06:21I could tell.

01:06:22Can you tell or no?

01:06:23I mean, not until right there at the stripe.

01:06:25It was boom, right there.

01:06:26I knew he was close.

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

01:06:28I was like, did 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, you want to see you?

01:06:34That was good.

01:06:36Y'all got a hot rod again, don't you?

01:06:38Yeah, yeah.

01:06:38I can tell.

01:06:39Yeah.

01:06:39Would have been nice to take Damon out

01:06:41because he's on Team Kai right now,

01:06:43and that would have really helped us

01:06:45going into the next round.

01:06:46Good job getting it back together, dude.

01:06:48Yeah, yeah.

01:06:48You got a car.

01:06:51Next fair, we've got Robin Roberts

01:06:53going up against Daddy Dave Comstock.

01:06:57Daddy Dave, it's going to be a good matchup.

01:07:00Third round, I draw Daddy Dave.

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

01:07:03He's not that fast, but he's taking big jumps.

01:07:13We just got to see how this goes.

01:07:16He's totally unpredictable.

01:07:39And Robin Roberts is going to get the win there

01:07:41with that pass, nice job.

01:07:43Daddy Dave, just not enough.

01:07:47Robin didn't disappoint.

01:07:50Down through there, right before the stripe,

01:07:52I looked over, and he's right beside me.

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

01:07:55that you had to look up to see the win light.

01:07:57And I'll take that loss every day of the week.

01:08:00That's the way.

01:08:02That's the way.

01:08:04Good run, good run.

01:08:06This last pair coming up right now,

01:08:08Kyle Canyon going up against Ryan Martin.

01:08:13Going to be a good one, folks.

01:08:19This race has been pretty big for us so far.

01:08:21We're making headway.

01:08:23I think we're ahead right now in second place.

01:08:25I believe we're gaining ground on Kai's team.

01:08:30All of Kai's drivers are out except for Damon.

01:08:32Damon's the only one that's going on.

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

01:08:35But I think when this is all said and done,

01:08:36if we can keep doing what we're doing,

01:08:38we're going to close the gap dramatically.

01:08:45We drew Ryan Martin.

01:08:47I'm excited about it.

01:08:48He's one of the biggest bears out here,

01:08:49if not the biggest.

01:08:50And I want this one.

01:08:53We're going to go out there and send it.

01:08:54This will be a big round for us

01:08:57if we can get past him.

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

01:09:23Hey, you okay?

01:09:24The shoots come out?

01:09:25Yeah.

01:09:27There's been a lot of people jump,

01:09:29a lot of people won that shouldn't have won,

01:09:30and people just taking shots at the trees.

01:09:33And he took a little stab at it,

01:09:35went red, we got the W.

01:09:36So I don't like to win like that, personally.

01:09:38But I don't like to lose like that either.

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

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

01:09:44Man, you said it was going 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 for 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 what 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 into

01:10:18the second-place position

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

01:10:20Meanwhile, Damon Merchant

01:10:22has the entire Team 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 to 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.

01:10:44Nice job, Ryan Martin

01:10:46and Robin Roberts.

01:10:47Also, Ryan,

01:10:48with this performance today,

01:10:50y'all are now in second place

01:10:52in the team standings.

01:10:53You have passed

01:10:55Team Daddy Dave.

01:10:57Nobody wants to draw anybody

01:10:58at this point.

01:10:59Go ahead and embrace that

01:11:00that you're going to get

01:11:01someone fast.

01:11:03Taking the last one?

01:11:04Yeah, I'll let y'all draw each other.

01:11:06They're all bad.

01:11:08All right.

01:11:09Team Ryan Martin

01:11:10probably trying to stay away

01:11:11from 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 my 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 for $40,000.

01:11:32All right.

01:11:32Let's go back to the pits.

01:11:34Gets our car turned around.

01:11:35See you in the stage lanes.

01:11:36Let's do it.

01:11:38Put your hands together

01:11:38for these drivers, folks.

01:11:39There's only four left.

01:11:41Welcome back

01:11:49for another episode

01:11:50of Track Snacks

01:11:51with your host, Disco Dean.

01:11:52We're here in Benson, North Carolina.

01:11:55Let's go see what type of snacks

01:11:56this track has to offer.

01:11:59So I'll do one carne asada,

01:12:01one ground beef,

01:12:02one chicken.

01:12:03No savoya.

01:12:04That's Spanish for onions.

01:12:05We don't do onions on anything.

01:12:08You hear popcorn?

01:12:09I hear popcorn.

01:12:11Hold on.

01:12:11They do a lot of barbecue down here.

01:12:13How many hot dogs

01:12:14do you think they sell

01:12:15at a regular event?

01:12:16Can't pass up a track corn dog.

01:12:18Yeah, I'm a sucker for popcorn, dude.

01:12:19That's true.

01:12:20Look at them fat kernels.

01:12:22Taco sauce in there.

01:12:23Yeah, thank you very much.

01:12:25Ooh, they gave me a little limon.

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

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

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

01:12:31Mmm.

01:12:31Ooh.

01:12:32That taco sauce ain't no joke.

01:12:35It's really good.

01:12:36That's gonna cost me later today, boys.

01:12:38My own special batch

01:12:39of salted buttered corn,

01:12:41boys and girls.

01:12:42Popcorn and tacos.

01:12:43What a combination.

01:12:45Disco Dean, Stinky Pinky,

01:12:46we out.

01:12:49Invitational semifinals

01:12:50heading your way right now.

01:12:53Kayla Martin

01:12:54going up against Ryan Martin.

01:12:58Ready?

01:12:59I'm ready.

01:12:59All right.

01:12:59You ready?

01:13:00Yeah.

01:13:00Okay, good luck.

01:13:01You know, I don't really like

01:13:02the draw very much.

01:13:04I know you don't really like it either.

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

01:13:05I don't like it any more than 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 on 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 Martin,

01:13:21and we're just gonna 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.

01:13:47All right, so I'm winning

01:13:48the semifinals.

01:13:49We have, you know,

01:13:50slowly started to get back

01:13:51a handle on the car,

01:13:52coming off of a win.

01:13:53We won a couple of races

01:13:54ago at 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 getting towards

01:14:14that 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 can 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.

01:14:30So, 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.

01:14:41Good race.

01:15:10Good job, Ryan.

01:15:15Good job, girl.

01:15:17Did 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, you 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, you know?

01:15:33I know.

01:15:34It sucks.

01:15:36Ryan Martin will go to 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.

01:15:45We're a race like we need the ****.

01:15:46You know what I mean?

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

01:15:49**** make friends.

01:15:50You know,

01:15:51Robin's sitting over there

01:15:52with four motors in his trailer,

01:15:54and we've got our one.

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

01:15:57and go,

01:15:58okay, this will be the run

01:15:59where we might ****

01:16:00end 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 here

01:16:14this 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 one 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've got a lot of momentum,

01:16:29so if I've got to shut them down

01:16:30one by one,

01:16:31that's the plan for this weekend.

01:16:32All 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,

01:16:49going up against

01:16:49Damon Merchant

01:16:50in the right.

01:16:59I want to

01:17:00go ahead

01:17:00so bad.

01:17:02I want to

01:17:02make it

01:17:03so bad.

01:17:04I know.

01:17:04and Robin Roberts

01:17:33goes red.

01:17:35Yeah, baby.

01:17:36This is the win

01:17:38to Damon Merchant.

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

01:17:41That's what you get

01:17:41for guessing.

01:17:50Did you win?

01:17:51Should have talked

01:17:52to your boy

01:17:52about that red light.

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

01:17:55He hit 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.

01:17:59Did 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,

01:18:11man, I just let go early.

01:18:13I don't know,

01:18:14flinch,

01:18:14let go,

01:18:15whatever it is,

01:18:16but we were early

01:18:17and it was done.

01:18:18He's been caught alive,

01:18:19dog.

01:18:20He's been caught alive.

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

01:18:32off on a tree.

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

01:18:35they told him

01:18:35I was guessing

01:18:36and he anticipated it

01:18:38and went red

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

01:18:42So,

01:18:42let them guess

01:18:44if they think

01:18:45they 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?

01:18:48Yeah.

01:18:49What the f***

01:18:50are 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.

01:19:00What the f***?

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

01:19:01Well, I mean,

01:19:03yeah,

01:19:04there have been

01:19:04gaining points.

01:19:04He'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

01:19:13Ryan Martin

01:19:14versus Damon Merchant

01:19:16for $40,000.

01:19:26Well,

01:19:27if you,

01:19:27I think either way

01:19:28win or lose

01:19:29we're still ahead

01:19:29but not by most

01:19:30like five points.

01:19:32If you win

01:19:32though,

01:19:33we're ahead

01:19:33by like

01:19:34maybe 15 or 20.

01:19:36We trade over

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

01:19:38Kind of a breath

01:19:38of fresh air for us

01:19:39and it's starting

01:19:40to pay off.

01:19:41You know,

01:19:42we've taken down

01:19:43some big,

01:19:43big hitters today.

01:19:45Starting with Lizzie

01:19:46and Nate,

01:19:47Giuseppe,

01:19:48Robin.

01:19:49Like,

01:19:50we have not had

01:19:50an easy road

01:19:51to get here

01:19:51so I couldn't

01:19:52be more happy

01:19:53right 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

01:20:00and 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

01:20:06goes 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

01:20:14more proud at the moment

01:20:15for my crew

01:20:17and 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

01:20:33the pro charge

01:20:33tomorrow.

01:20:34That is going

01:20:34to be Damon

01:20:35and Merchant

01:20:36going up

01:20:37against Ryan

01:20:38Martin

01:20:39in the left lane.

01:20:41I'm excited

01:20:42to 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

01:20:52of 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 with them, folks.

01:21:21And Damon Merchant

01:21:23is your winner.

01:21:26Damon Merchant.

01:21:27Oh, yeah.

01:21:28Oh, yeah.

01:21:30Oh, yeah.

01:21:31Oh, yeah.

01:21:32I feel like I'm

01:21:36on top of the world

01:21:37right now.

01:21:38And 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.

01:21:47Oh, my God.

01:21:48Ryan's the reigning champ,

01:21:49the captain of the team.

01:21:51I feel the you do that

01:21:52right there.

01:21:52I took out the whole

01:21:53team.

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,

01:22:04look, I 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 going to 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.

01:22:24That 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

01:22:49this place.

01:22:49There'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.

01:23:00I'm going into

01:23:00the last two

01:23:01races,

01:23:02and I'm trying

01:23:02to give an option

01:23:03that we can possibly

01:23:04win.

01:23:07We're not ready

01:23:08to quit.

01:23:08We've still got

01:23:09one more race

01:23:15trade me,
