00:00Had a chance to close the gap on first place.
00:03And Lizzie Musi takes the win there.
00:07After points leader Kai Kelly was knocked out in round one.
00:10Good luck.
00:13The car just hit.
00:14It stopped.
00:15Nate, what's going on, buddy?
00:16Torque converter bolts are hitting the block.
00:18Unfortunately, Nate Saylor not going to be able to get it fixed in time.
00:22Kayla Morton going to make the pass here.
00:24But only one driver made significant gains last week.
00:26Nice pass there for Kayla.
00:27She will be your grade eight winner.
00:29$10,000.
00:30Kayla Morton won her first event.
00:32And I hate to take the win that way, but it's $10,000.
00:35And moved herself up from fifth place to third.
00:38That bypass was a winning pass no matter who was in the lane next to me.
00:42And now our top eight here in North Carolina are getting ready to battle it out for more money and even more points.
00:52Put your hands together for the grade eight drivers.
00:59We are here at Galat Motorsports Park in North Carolina.
01:10Fun fact for you, Galat stands for get a load of this.
01:13And what that's from is the track owner actually hauled concrete.
01:18So that's where the load comes from.
01:19Get a load of this.
01:21We have been here before, but look, it has been a few years.
01:24This track is fast.
01:26This facility is beautiful.
01:28Coming into this event, the point system has changed.
01:31Now rounds are worth one and a half times points.
01:34Kai has a 21-point lead currently.
01:36But whoever wins this race will get $10,000 and 15 points, which could close that gap tremendously.
01:44The runner-up will earn 10 and a half points, with the semifinalists each getting four and a half.
01:52All right.
01:53This is the grade eight drivers meeting.
01:56The eight fastest drivers in the invitational class, right?
01:59Your top eight in points.
02:01Right now, Kai in the lead.
02:03So your goal for the rest of all seven of you, other than Kai, is to get him knocked out in the first round.
02:09I've already been doing that.
02:10Yeah, you've been doing a great job.
02:11Kai's been doing a great job.
02:13So at least y'all know what you've got to do now.
02:15You want to knock Kai out in the first round.
02:17He does have a little bit of a lead.
02:18Don't forget, points and a half.
02:20So that also helps.
02:21Damn.
02:2215 points if you want to.
02:23And how many points you got?
02:2450.
02:25There's exactly that many points left.
02:27So you're saying there's a chance.
02:28Turn around.
02:29F***ing target right.
02:31Yeah.
02:31And I know how you felt.
02:32Oh, yeah.
02:33Oh, yeah.
02:35You the rabbit.
02:36Yeah.
02:36Everybody got the gun.
02:37All right.
02:38Uh, ladies squared.
02:39Ready?
02:40Ready?
02:40Yeah.
02:41Let's do this.
02:43F***ing.
02:44We got this this time.
02:45Elizabeth, welcome back.
02:47Hi.
02:47You feel better.
02:50There's one left.
02:53Number one.
02:55Oh, f***ing.
02:56Oh, man.
02:57Damon.
02:58Come on, man.
02:58Elizabeth.
02:59Yeah.
03:00Come out here.
03:01Draw her.
03:02She's bad fast here because she's raised around here.
03:06This is her home track.
03:07Number two.
03:09Axeman and Kayla.
03:11Oh.
03:12Dang.
03:13Dang.
03:14I draw Kayla Morton, but that's rough there.
03:16I'm second in points behind Kai Kelly in the grade eight.
03:20If he goes that first round, that'll give me an opportunity to run and catch him.
03:24So, this first round hit is worth everything to me.
03:28Number three is going to be Nate Saylor and Kai Kelly.
03:31I'm going to rematch.
03:33Uh-oh.
03:34I'm feeling good coming into this race.
03:36That car was fast at the last race.
03:37It's points and a half for these next two races, and then the final race is double the points.
03:41But I think if I could just clinch one of these grade eight wins, I could seal this championship up.
03:45Which mean number fours will be Ryan Martin and Murder Nova.
03:49Ryan Martin.
03:50I drew him last week.
03:51First round also.
03:53I'd like to race him, but I'd like to do it in the finals.
03:56I need some points.
03:58He needs some points.
03:59We're just going to have to go up there, let go of the button, see how it goes.
04:03Go to the pits.
04:04Get your cars ready.
04:04Go to the pits.
04:04Get your cars ready.
04:04Go to the pits.
04:34Coming off last week, we ran really good, especially under the conditions that we were in after the swap, after hurting a blower, and just doing everything we could to make round by round.
04:48We made all the semifinals.
04:49So coming here, we took the week to freshen up the car, check everything over.
04:55You kind of never exactly know exactly what you're going to get, coming right out of the gate with a brand new fresh combination.
05:00Team made or not, on Saturday, it's Friday night, and we're after those individual points.
05:06I've got to really make a push starting tonight to, if I'm going to make a run at this deal, and see if we can get another win on Friday night.
05:14We're running the great eight last week.
05:31It was a little rough for me.
05:33It was not feeling good.
05:35I had another treatment since then.
05:38I don't feel as bad, so that's a good, that is a plus.
05:41I feel a little bit more lively than last week, so I'm ready for this weekend.
05:45Good luck, be safe.
05:50No, you didn't.
05:51You're good.
05:52Good luck, be safe.
05:54We've been having motor issues, like freaking blowing is not what we do in this camp, and my dad's been working night and day trying to figure this out.
06:02This race, we're starting off with a brand new fresh motor, rolling in for first round of grade eight.
06:09I ended up drawing Damon first round.
06:12I don't know, he made it to the semis last race.
06:14He's running good.
06:15Once again, in the right lane, driving the Pro Charge Camaro.
06:26That is going to be Damon Merchant.
06:29Damon Merchant going up against Lizzie Musey in the left lane.
06:34From here on out, the next two races are point and a half.
06:47The finals is double points.
06:48This is a perfect opportunity if you've been slacking on points, but you're still in the hunt to make up a lot of ground here.
06:56It's anybody's ballgame still.
06:58I know Kai's got a hell of a lead right now going into this weekend, but it just takes a couple of good outings.
07:05Winning a couple of races on Friday nights, he'll be right back in the ballgame.
07:08But we've got to get him out early, and we've got to occur some points real quick.
07:27And Damon Merchant takes the win there.
07:31What a drag race between both those cars.
07:33Nice pass for Damon, also for Lizzie.
07:38Slow. It was really slow.
07:43I got drugged is what I got.
07:45Good lick for us, man.
07:49We needed that one.
07:51That little test tip that we did earlier showed us that we had a little bit of issue going on.
07:58Making that lick right there, it felt like we got a handle on it because
08:02to come out here and put a win light on against her, it's saying something.
08:08Good job.
08:10I was like sitting still while you blew past me.
08:14Hey, it's all good.
08:15Good job.
08:16I was wondering if you made a good one or not because we had stumbled on this one, so I thought
08:21Really?
08:21We didn't get a chance to make the freaking one because the oil line was off.
08:26Oh, shit.
08:26Loose, yeah.
08:27Oh, I didn't know that.
08:28But you look like you made a hell of a pass.
08:30I made a good lick.
08:30Yeah.
08:31I'm pretty happy with it.
08:31Hell yeah.
08:32I need to win one here and get one away from the pass.
08:33Yeah, you do.
08:34Yeah.
08:36Good job, Damon.
08:37I'll see you later.
08:37All right.
08:40Good job, Damon.
08:41Thank you, man.
08:44Tough draw, man.
08:45Team 8 draw.
08:46Yeah, I don't like any of it.
08:47I hate that.
08:49But we've only done it the one time in the final in Bowling Green, so it's bound to happen
08:54sometime, you know?
08:55Yeah.
08:55But I know it's so fast.
08:57But we're so fast, too.
08:58We drew our teammate Axeman first round of grade 8.
09:02Not the ideal draw.
09:04One, we want both Chase Driscoll-Toon cars to go multiple rounds.
09:08But I guess the good thing is one of us is going to go on no matter what.
09:13Just the points-and-a-half thing, it just sucks for one of us to go out and one of us to move on.
09:17But it is what it is.
09:18I do feel like he has a slight advantage.
09:21He tested here a couple weeks ago.
09:23But I've been using that data, so we share.
09:26And so it should be a really good race.
09:27Kick-ass, take names.
09:28That's it.
09:30What would Andrew say?
09:32What would Andrew say?
09:33Ass-whoopings are free all day.
09:34Winning the grade 8 last week is super crucial.
09:38It boosted our confidence going into this week.
09:40And then it also allows us to be within range of winning.
09:45Maybe it has to be perfect for the next three events, but it's obtainable.
09:49So I'm really excited for the grade 8 today.
09:50See if we can stack some more points up and close that gap.
09:57That's like smooth and butter.
10:00That's fun.
10:01So going into the grade 8 here at Gallop Motorsport Park, the points move to a point and a half.
10:09If you win, you get to 15 points instead of 10.
10:12That would be amazing.
10:20I'm second in points behind Kai Kelly in the grade 8.
10:24If he goes that first round, that'll give me an opportunity to run and catch him.
10:28So this first round hit, it's worth everything to me.
10:42Alright folks, next pair here in this grade 8 over in the right lane.
10:47That is going to be Kayla Morton in the Pro Charge Mustang going up against Axeman in the left lane.
10:54Axeman backing up the game changer Mustang there.
10:57Left lane going up against Kayla in the right.
11:00Pro Charger versus Pro Charger.
11:03Here we go.
11:04Alright folks, next pair here in this grade 8.
11:31Over in the right lane, that is going to be Kayla Morton in the Pro Charge Mustang going up against Axeman in the left lane.
11:41Axeman backing up the game changer Mustang there.
11:44Left lane going up against Kayla in the right.
11:46Pro Charger versus Pro Charger.
11:49Here we go.
11:50Here we go.
11:50Here we go.
11:52Here we go.
11:54Here we go.
11:58Here we go.
12:00All right, Axeman will take the win there.
12:23Nice pass for Axeman.
12:24Lots of smoke from Kayla's car there on the top end.
12:29That was a moment before the light went green.
12:33Guessing right there, man.
12:37Guess who?
12:40That was f***ing f***ing.
12:42Second time he's done that.
12:45Well, he definitely guessed.
12:47We went up there to line up.
12:49I kind of feel like he took a shot at the tree.
12:53And I wasn't expecting that from a teammate, but all is fair in love and racing.
12:58It wouldn't have mattered anyways, even if we would have pulled off that W because the motor is very tired.
13:06I let go on that pass.
13:07We'll get it fixed tonight.
13:08Turned down for tomorrow.
13:10MBD.
13:10No big deal.
13:12Make a good hit?
13:13It's okay.
13:14Dang.
13:14There's some prawns, chooks, everything.
13:17Damn it.
13:20One parachute.
13:22Was it close?
13:23No, Larry, you guessed.
13:25I'm not guessing, I promise you.
13:27I put my life on it.
13:28I got the top end and she felt like I guessed, so I didn't actually stay to my side and let her cool off a little bit.
13:35It's not guessing, I promise you.
13:37Whew.
13:38Hey!
13:39So, we have Kai, third pair, first round.
13:49We got the left lane, which I think is probably the better of the two.
13:53The right lane's got a little shade in it, though, so the track temp on our side is going to be a little hotter.
13:57We draw Kai Kelly, first round.
13:59Honestly, right now, we need somebody that's going to go and swing for the moon and take his ass out right away
14:04so that the rest of us can get this points in half and cut his lead up.
14:07Like, I'm hoping that we get him early when he's vulnerable and we take his ass out.
14:13And this is points and a half, so if we win tonight, that's 15 points.
14:18That'll put us at 35.
14:19Then we're one grade eight away from tying him.
14:22So, we need to take him out and win this tonight.
14:26You know, he's got 50 points.
14:27We're at 20.
14:28So, my plan right now is to go out first round.
14:31We got third pair.
14:32We got the left lane, which is the better of the two.
14:34And hopefully put Kai on the trailer.
14:37It's another day in the office.
14:43Stress level was in the red.
14:46But I just got to take a deep breath and try to hold these boys off.
14:51Maybe.
14:58Hey, bro.
14:59Hey, pal.
14:59What are we going to do today?
15:01Just tell me something sweet.
15:02Something sweet?
15:03Yeah.
15:04So, maybe you put that goodness out in the world, and that goodness is going to come back to you.
15:07Good karma always comes back around.
15:09Yeah, man.
15:10Positive out, positive in.
15:12All right, man.
15:13Let's try that.
15:14Go out there and kick some ass, okay?
15:15All right, man.
15:16And be careful.
15:17All right, bud.
15:17This pair right here is going to be a good one.
15:32Over in the left lane, that's going to be Nate Saylor, Pro Charge Nova, going up against Kai Kelly in the Regal here in the right lane.
15:41And Nate Saylor takes the win.
16:11And Nate Saylor puts Kai on the trailer in the first round.
16:18That is going to help out the rest of the drivers there, that individual points championship.
16:24We got a win.
16:32I drew Nate Saylor again.
16:34Same guy who ran in the finals last week.
16:37It was pretty much the same race.
16:39He beat me right at the end, you know?
16:40So.
16:45Points drives, I need X-Man to go out.
16:47But at this point, I need everybody to go out.
16:49Sean's got 26 points.
16:51If he wins the next two of these races, he's six points ahead of me with the points and a half.
16:55Anybody pack the shoes that haven't been packing them?
16:57Like I said, we just need some luck.
16:59We need the people at the bottom.
17:00We need them to start winning.
17:01They went, like, through the willy bars.
17:04No, one of them.
17:10This ain't a good track for that shit to happen.
17:12Those damn brakes were smoking when I pulled up.
17:14The best case scenario today is if Damon Merchant could win this whole deal.
17:22That would really help me out.
17:23But it is what it is.
17:25We just got to sit back and watch because we're out.
17:28Just got beat by Nate again.
17:29First round loser.
17:30Five weeks in a row.
17:31There's one way to blow a championship.
17:35Just watch what we're doing.
17:38The car's making good passes.
17:39I don't know.
17:42They're just faster than us right now.
17:48All right, so I'm back in grade eight still.
17:51I'm sitting number seven in points.
17:53And I drew Sean last week.
17:55Knocked the tires off.
17:56Lost to him.
17:56So this week, I drew Sean again.
17:58First round.
18:00Ricky.
18:01We got a good position as far as the grade eight.
18:05We're the fourth pair.
18:07I got the right lane.
18:08He got the left.
18:08There's nobody good.
18:09There's nobody good.
18:10So really, it is what it is.
18:13Maybe I don't want to outrun my buddy.
18:14But if I have to, that's what I'm going to do.
18:18Let's get out of this oil right here.
18:19Hopefully, man, they in my lane.
18:21Whoever's laying down this oil.
18:25Honestly, this is more nerve-wracking than anything.
18:30Is coming into this, it's points and a half.
18:33Just as easily as you can climb that ladder, you can get kicked off that ladder.
18:40Have one bad weekend of the car not running good.
18:43And somebody could sneak in there and steal everything that I worked hard for all year.
18:46Unfortunately, I drove Ryan Martin.
18:52I drew him last week, first round also.
18:55And, you know, I'd like to race him, but I'd like to do it in the finals.
19:00I need some points.
19:01He needs some points.
19:03Me and Ryan have went back and forth this year.
19:05I've won a couple, he's won a couple.
19:07But honestly, I'm tired of racing him.
19:09He's got that thing figured out right now, and he's on a roll.
19:12All right, folks, this will be the last pair of the first round for the grade eight.
19:15Going to be a great one here.
19:16If I can win, I'm going to win.
19:27We're going to go up.
19:28We're going to do the same thing that we do no matter who we're racing.
19:32I'm going to go up there, and I'm going to go as fast as I possibly can in that lane and hope I take the win.
19:38Over in the right lane, that is going to be Ryan Martin.
19:42Ryan Martin in the right lane.
19:43And Murder Nova.
19:45Murder Nova in the left lane.
19:48Let's see who will go to the semifinals of the grade eight.
19:51Here we go.
20:08All right, folks, this will be the last pair of the first round for the grade eight.
20:11Going to be a great one here.
20:12Over in the right lane, that is going to be Ryan Martin.
20:17Ryan Martin in the right lane.
20:19And Murder Nova.
20:21Murder Nova in the left lane.
20:23Let's see who will go to the semifinals of the grade eight.
20:26Here we go.
20:28Here we go.
20:28Here we go.
20:28Here we go.
20:30Here we go.
20:32Here we go.
20:42And Murder Nova gets the win.
20:56Ryan Martin makes a move towards the center, has to get out of it.
21:00Hey, it's fast early.
21:03Don't do me no good if I can't make it.
21:05What happened?
21:06It's a piece of .
21:08It did not go straight again?
21:09No.
21:09We left again.
21:10It's like third, fourth time in a row.
21:12It's a tricky track right now.
21:14It was slow out of the hole.
21:16It looked like Ryan was out on me just a little bit, and then he had problems.
21:20And, you know, we made the trip, so we took the win.
21:27And it looked like he was out on me.
21:30It looked like he was out on me, and then just all of a sudden, it looked like he dumped
21:34out of it and just gone.
21:35Yeah, I know.
21:36You know?
21:37Like, he definitely out 60 foots me.
21:38We know that.
21:39And I kept on thinking, okay, all right.
21:41But I didn't know, I know my car will mile an hour a little bit more than his, but I didn't
21:46know if he was out on me far enough that I couldn't come around him.
21:49If he'd have made a full hit, I don't know.
21:51I don't know.
21:52Yeah.
21:53And it never, yeah.
21:57What's got to change?
21:59What's got to change?
22:00Uh, slow the car down a little bit, 60 foot a little bit better, uh, or hope the track comes
22:07around to us.
22:08We don't like, none of us like turning the cars down.
22:10Uh, you can walk out there and the surface looks amazing.
22:13It looks like it'll take every tune-up that we have, and it's just, it's slow out of the
22:17hole.
22:18Uh, too much wheel speed and, uh, slows the cars down.
22:22So.
22:23All right, we're gonna go ahead and get started with our grade eight semifinals drivers meeting.
22:37Folks, we started with eight drivers, the eight fastest drivers in the imitational class.
22:42You know, they battle out for $10,000 on Friday nights.
22:45Well, we started with eight, now we're down to four.
22:48Uh, my good friend Nate Saylor did the rest of the drivers a favor.
22:53Knocked out Ty Kelly in the first round.
22:56You're welcome.
22:57You're welcome.
22:58Nate Saylor.
22:59Nice job.
23:00Way to go.
23:01Also, Murder Nova, able to beat Ryan Martin in the first round, yeah!
23:06Yeah!
23:07Great job.
23:08All right, so, we're gonna go ahead and draw chips, see who's racing who here in this semifinal
23:13round.
23:14All right, you're that much closer to $10,000.
23:16So, gentlemen, go ahead, draw your chips.
23:20You taking the trash this time?
23:22Okay, I normally do, and then it screws me.
23:25So, I'll race anybody, too.
23:27All right, where are my number ones?
23:31See?
23:32Gonna be Nate Saylor versus Murder Nova.
23:35Red is right.
23:36First pair.
23:37Wow.
23:38All right, which means my second pair will be Damon Merchant versus Axeman, Larry Roach.
23:45All right, drivers, you know who you're racing.
23:48You know what you gotta do.
23:49Go back to the pits, get your cars turned around, and bring them in the staging lanes.
23:52Good luck.
23:56I cannot draw that either one of y'all would have been a better draw.
24:00Hey, can I be honest with you guys since you're standing here?
24:02For you to say that about me makes me feel pretty .
24:05You're fast as .
24:07No, no, no.
24:08He's fast as .
24:09He's too fast to be fanboying.
24:10Get over it.
24:11You're too fast to be fanboying.
24:12Damn.
24:13Get your ass back up there.
24:17Fanboying.
24:18Damn it.
24:19Damn it.
24:22Did this shock leak at all that pass?
24:23Did you put a wrench on this?
24:25Let's do that.
24:31Oh, okay.
24:32I think I have some.
24:33Small one.
24:40Yep.
24:41That last pass we made, it actually was starting to come left, starting to come left, and the car, I wasn't going to lift yet because I could see them right there.
24:48The car came down and I brought it back to the center.
24:51Every pass?
24:52Yep.
24:53Right now, until I figure out what's going on, it was loose.
24:56Pretty loose.
25:02Yep.
25:03Every pass, I'll have you do that, okay?
25:06Check this one?
25:07Check the other side just in case, Mason, since we have it out.
25:16The strut didn't matter this time because the wheels were carried for so long, so.
25:22But we're going to have to add that to our deal.
25:23I'll get a hold of Chris and find out what I need to do.
25:26If you notice, we put those weight pucks back in the front here.
25:29So we moved that weight from the trunk to the nose.
25:32We're hoping to keep that nose down just a little bit.
25:34It didn't set it down right before the finish line.
25:36Like, it was up, up, up, up, and I could feel it come down right before the finish line.
25:40I don't want it to carry it that far.
25:42Like, half that's cool, but, yeah, it's hard to steer when it's up in the air.
25:45All right.
25:48You know, the track's kind of tricky, actually.
25:50It's good early, and then bad in the middle, and then good again.
25:55So it's kind of one of those deals where we're having to change the tune-up for the length in the track, basically.
26:02You guys, we have not won a grade 8 yet, and I want one badly.
26:08I mean, don't get me wrong.
26:09I'd rather have the 40 grand than the 10, but I haven't won one of these, and I want one.
26:14And I think we have the **** to do it.
26:18So, murdering over.
26:20We race back and forth, back and forth, always in the grade 8.
26:23He's killing it this year.
26:25We run the same setup as he does, ProLine Hemis.
26:30The cars are pretty equivalent.
26:32He's got a bad-ass race car, we got a bad-ass race car.
26:35It's going to be a 200-driver game.
26:37We're going to see who wants it more.
26:44You're first pair here in the grade 8 semifinals, over in the left lane.
26:55That is going to be Nate Saylor.
26:57Nate Saylor in the left lane, going up against Murder Nova in the right lane.
27:05We draw Nate Saylor, who is arguably one of the guys who has his hot rod running faster than anybody else out here.
27:12He's been killing it lately, and the car's fast.
27:15I'm going to have to go up there, I'm going to have to do what I do, cut a good light, and hopefully get out in front of him and stay out in front of him.
27:22The last three races, it's almost like he's unbeatable.
27:27So, he's definitely found the niche that that car likes, and he's capitalizing on it.
27:34So, it's going to be a drag race, I know it is, and if we take that win, we'll be sitting in a good spot.
27:52You're first pair here in the grade 8 semifinals, over in the left lane.
27:57That is going to be Nate Saylor going up against Murder Nova in the right lane.
28:22And Nate Saylor gets the win.
28:29Nate Saylor going to the finals for the grade 8 class.
28:32Wow.
28:37I let go of the button, and I treat out of him.
28:41I'm out on him, I'm making what I feel like is a decent pass, and he drove around me.
28:46I did what I needed to do as a driver, and the car just didn't make the pass.
28:51it needed to on that surface.
28:53Dude, that was great.
28:54I can't run with that, man.
28:56There's nothing.
28:57I treed you, I left on you, and you drove around me, dude.
29:00I can't, I can't run with that, man.
29:03I just can't.
29:04Like, you made a killer pass, man.
29:06Oh, dude, it made it stupid.
29:07It pulled the tires up on the gear change and just hung them.
29:10At the beginning of the season, we sucked because we were in air.
29:14And now that the air is coming around where Pro Charger cars run, now it's going the other way.
29:18Nice job, man.
29:19Good race, brother.
29:20Right now, Axe Man's ahead of me, so that's not that big of a deal.
29:25But here comes Nate, and Nate's coming hard.
29:28With the way he's running, somebody's going to have to shut him down.
29:31It sucks, you know, because that Pro Charger's the same as the one I got on my car.
29:37Like, and if I could get down to that weight, I'd be doing it.
29:41I just can't.
29:43I did everything I needed to do, man.
29:45Treat him, I was way out on him.
29:47What lane was better, do you think?
29:50I feel more comfortable in right lane, but which lane's better?
29:58I don't see a difference.
29:59But I just, a driver always feels more comfortable in right lane because the tree's right there.
30:04Pulled Damon in chip draw.
30:05I got right lane.
30:06I kind of like it right lane.
30:07I think both lanes are similar.
30:09So, uh, he's been a tough competitor.
30:11I think he's, his record's probably better than mine against each other.
30:15I'm pretty sure he's beat me more than I've beat him.
30:19So, usually this car is as smooth as it can be.
30:22Now, at top of first gear, shaking the tires and moving around.
30:25Going against Damon, there's no margin for loss here.
30:28I cannot lose anything.
30:30That's gonna be a tough run.
30:31I hope I can at least sit out 60 him and get out on him, but that car's fast.
30:42We're no stranger to racing that cat.
30:44Him and I have went back and forth a few times this season, and, uh,
30:47you know, he's got a fast hot rod.
30:49I think here lately they've, uh, changed the motor combination in it.
30:52And the last time we raced, he got me.
31:02And Axeman takes the win.
31:06Right at the stripe in a grade eight race.
31:08So, redemption is what I'm seeking here.
31:11Word around the pit areas is he's been a son of a bitch on the, on the guessing lately.
31:16So, I'm just gonna get up there and be aggressive on the light and, uh, you know, kick his ass.
31:28All right, folks.
31:29This will be the final pair.
31:30The semi-finals for the grade eight over in the left lane.
31:34That's gonna be Damon Merchant.
31:35Damon Merchant in the left lane.
31:37Going up against Axeman.
31:39Larry Roach in the right lane.
31:41The winner will go on to face Nate Sailor in the finals for $10,000.
31:46I'm moving on to the finals for $10,000.
31:53What?
32:02What?
32:04And Axeman, Axeman gets the win there.
32:18Great pass from both cars, but Axeman takes the win.
32:21So your finals in the grade A class tonight
32:24will be Nate Saylor versus Axeman.
32:29The light turns green.
32:32I never seen him.
32:34About 150 feet or so out, I felt my car start shaking again.
32:37Oh, here we go.
32:38It's not going to make the trip.
32:39I went to let out the throttle, and all of a sudden, I felt it grab.
32:42I held it down, pulled off that win.
32:45Did you make a good hit?
32:46I was just chattering.
32:48I wanted to get it, but I mean, it's fast.
32:50Mine is the top of first.
32:51It chatted so hard, I started to lift.
32:54Oh, down low?
32:55Top of first.
32:57So about 200.
32:58Yeah.
32:59I heard you coming, and there you were.
33:01Going into the finals, that's nothing but badass.
33:04I'm gaining points on Kai, and for him to go out first round, and me to still be in here,
33:08maybe I can pull this off.
33:10But it's not done until I take out Nate, and Nate is flying.
33:14The front end down is messing this car up.
33:16Why don't we break it?
33:18I reckon he's going to tune through it and make it faster.
33:20Huh?
33:21If he gets it tuned up right, and gets through that shake, and you can keep the front end down,
33:25I can drive it, and it'll go faster.
33:27Yeah.
33:27I know what he's doing.
33:28I mean, it's going to be fast when he gets it worked out.
33:31So we're just a little bit away from what we need.
33:33Yeah, we're testing in grade eight.
33:34That's not good.
33:36Testing.
33:37Kayla and Axe both do it.
33:39It's like, right, last 200 feet, they fly.
33:43And I can't pull them off.
33:46Like, I don't know what to do.
33:47I needed that race tonight.
33:49I needed to win this deal.
33:50So not only for the money, but for the points.
33:53And just let it slip away the last 200 foot of the race there.
33:57Good job.
33:58Thanks.
34:06All right, folks.
34:07We're going to go ahead and do our grade eight final drivers meeting.
34:10We started with eight drivers in our grade eight.
34:13Two drivers remain.
34:14This race here is going to be worth $10,000.
34:18Our two drivers remaining are Nate Saylor and Axeman.
34:24The two drivers remaining.
34:26Nate Saylor, I said earlier, but you did all the guys a favor.
34:29You knocked out Kai Kelly in the first round.
34:32So did all those guys a favor there.
34:34And now Axeman, find yourself in the finals.
34:36Axeman, you're in second place.
34:37This is your chance to get those points just in time and catch up to Kai.
34:42All right.
34:43Look, we've got the coin here.
34:44We're going to go ahead and flip it for lane choice.
34:46Who's calling it?
34:48He's won so much lately.
34:51Nate's won so many rounds lately.
34:53He's been so many people on the trail.
34:54I'm going to give him lane choice.
34:56Wow.
34:57Axeman just giving Nate Saylor lane choice.
35:00Wow.
35:00Look at that.
35:02Nate, what's up with that?
35:03I don't know, but I like it.
35:05Yeah, I bet you do.
35:06What lane you taking?
35:07We'll take the left lane.
35:08All right.
35:08So Nate Saylor's taking left lane.
35:10Axeman will be in the right lane.
35:11That'll be your finals, folks, for $10,000.
35:14You earned that lane choice.
35:15Thanks, brother.
35:16Come on over here.
35:26Come on over here.
35:27Hey, come on over here.
35:28You want that?
35:29Let them be beside each other.
35:30They make me look short.
35:31They're making you look short.
35:31Come over here, bro.
35:32I'm good, man.
35:33Yeah.
35:34I'll stand right here like this.
35:36That's right.
35:36Hey, and I'll do this, too.
35:38Y'all need a box to stand on?
35:39We got a box.
35:40They stay away from me.
35:41They make me look short.
35:41Let me step forward.
35:42You're going to see your legs on TV.
35:44Get you a box.
35:46I said they make me look short.
35:47Oh, I love that.
35:48Hey, he told Nate, they make you look short, too, man.
35:50Come over here with me.
35:51Hey, because...
35:52No.
35:53Come on.
35:53Hey, it kind of makes you look short, too.
35:56I got my boots up there.
35:57I got my boots.
35:59Like, hey, I make y'all look skinny.
36:01There's that one thing y'all can say.
36:03Hey, if we step forward a little bit, it looks...
36:05Oh, yeah.
36:07No, it's rattling.
36:08One, two, shake.
36:09Oh, on top of first gear.
36:10Once it gets in second, it goes.
36:13It's going.
36:14Top of first.
36:16Like, it's slumping.
36:18I mean, I shouldn't be complaining because we're winning, but I got...
36:22Like, this car don't do that.
36:26Right.
36:27I mean, yeah.
36:27Nate's been on a killing spree.
36:29I mean, he's been slaughtering these racers.
36:32I mean, we're just running at the back, but...
36:34Like, what was that?
36:35Ohio, when it was spinning every pass?
36:38I mean, it's doing great.
36:40But to outrun Nate...
36:45Oh, it's going to have to be on point.
36:46It can't shake.
36:47It's going to have to go smooth, one inch or the other.
36:49Yeah.
36:50It's going to have to be fast.
36:52Nate's rolling.
36:52It's going to have to be fast.
36:53Yeah.
36:53All the cars we think are fast, Nate's been outrunning them.
36:56So, I mean, I got my work cut out.
36:58And with the tires shaking, man, the confidence...
37:01I need them, but in the back of my mind, it's tough.
37:04I need that thing to make a full pull and be really fast.
37:10Be safe, man.
37:10Yeah.
37:11Good luck, you guys.
37:12Good luck, man.
37:14Good luck, man.
37:14Axeman's a badass.
37:15I love him.
37:16They pit across from us all the time.
37:17Him and his wife are just super cool people.
37:20I love them both.
37:21We broke in Denver against them, and they got the win.
37:24And then we beat them in Vegas.
37:26So, like, it's one and one.
37:29How many times were you racing?
37:31Yes, I'm here.
37:33The car's fast as s***.
37:34That's why he's in the finals.
37:36These guys aren't in the finals because they're getting lucky.
37:38They're in the finals because they're doing the work.
37:40And they did it.
37:41I mean, they just did.
37:43It's a bad dude.
37:45It's a bad dude.
37:46I think we have a better hot rod than they do.
37:49And I want to go out and see it.
37:58This is the great eight finals right here, folks.
38:08$10,000 on this race right here over in the right lane.
38:13That's going to be Axeman Larry Roach going up against Nate Saylor in the left lane.
38:20This will be the final race of the night.
38:24$10,000 to win right here, right now.
38:28This will be the final race of the night.
38:58And Nate Saylor will get the win.
39:03Axeman goes red.
39:06$10,000 to Nate Saylor as Axeman leaves early, gets the red lights.
39:13So we roll in, Nate come in, shoot.
39:19I went on the floor, I turned loose that button, seen that green light.
39:23I said, oh, yeah.
39:25I looked right below and seen a red one.
39:27I said, damn.
39:27That's really what happened.
39:31You said you jumped, did you?
39:33No, I anticipated.
39:35Jumping and anticipating is two different things.
39:37I got a great eight, man.
39:41We've been waiting for this.
39:42He knew he needed it.
39:44I don't fault him for it, but I will never, you will never see me guess unless it's by accident, ever.
39:50But you lose right on the starting line.
39:52I could have spun.
39:53I could have broke something.
39:54I could have done all sorts of stuff.
39:55But the second you guess and turn on that red light, your race is over.
39:59Who beat you to the finish line?
40:00Well, my win line came on.
40:02Oh, come on, baby.
40:03I almost ran you down anyway.
40:05But no, that's when I let off.
40:06You thought you called me.
40:06Oh, okay.
40:07Now we're at 35 points and Kai is at 50.
40:11We're only 15 points down from winning this $100,000.
40:14And the next two races are point and a half and two points.
40:17We got a shot at this hundred grand.
40:19Plus, our team's kicking ass.
40:20So, man, I'm on cloud nine right now.
40:22I did not jump, man.
40:23You're getting confused.
40:24No, you didn't jump.
40:25You didn't even wait for me to stage.
40:26I didn't even anticipate.
40:27I anticipated.
40:28I anticipated.
40:28I still love you, buddy.
40:30So, Nate, coming off his second invitational win, just won his first grade eight event.
40:35That moves him from sixth place all the way up to third.
40:39Just 15 points behind Kai Kelly.
40:42He could totally win in his rookie season at Newcastle.
40:47At the beginning of the season, it looked like Kai Kelly might run away with the grade eight championship.
40:51But the drivers have got their ducks in a row, and now it is a close race.
40:57To Alabama International Dragway.
40:59How are you doing today?
41:02There's only two races left.
41:03So, if you're in first place in points, I want to lock it up, Kai.
41:07Lock it up.
41:08I've been trying.
41:09You went out first round last week.
41:10In the week before, in the week before, in the week before.
41:12Don't suck, Kai.
41:12Nate Saylor and Sean, they're two I'm really worried about.
41:15Nate could actually tie me, and Sean could get really, really close.
41:19you
