Street Outlaws- No Prep Kings - Season 6 Episode 13 - Taking Down A King
Transcript
00:00:01Last week on No Prep Kings,
00:00:03we saw a lot of trading and a lot of money flying around.
00:00:07Ooh!
00:00:09$10,000.
00:00:12And it paid off.
00:00:13Kai picked up Damon Merchant,
00:00:15who helped extend their points lead.
00:00:22Damn it!
00:00:23And Damon Merchant will take the win there.
00:00:25Whoo!
00:00:27Ryan ended up picking up Nate Saylor.
00:00:29I wasn't gonna do this, but then I heard Kai was gonna do it.
00:00:34Who won the entire event.
00:00:38Oh, and Nate Saylor!
00:00:40Makes some noise for him, folks.
00:00:42That's the type of guy Mike is.
00:00:44Sean's been trying to get Scott Taylor for several weeks,
00:00:47but Mike Murillo was not impressed with Sean's cash offer.
00:00:51How much paper is it gonna take?
00:00:53$10,000.
00:00:54That's what the goal is?
00:00:55That's what top-tier people go for.
00:00:57No!
00:00:59Damn!
00:01:00Hey!
00:01:03You gotta wonder if we're gonna see more money
00:01:05flying around the pits this week.
00:01:12Here we go!
00:01:14You see, there's a boy there, huh?
00:01:15Yeah, see, there's a man.
00:01:16He's a man.
00:01:17He's a man.
00:01:18He's a man.
00:01:19He's a man.
00:01:20Thanks.
00:01:21Appreciate it, bro.
00:01:22Appreciate you.
00:01:23Thank you very much.
00:01:24We appreciate you.
00:01:25We appreciate you.
00:01:26We appreciate you.
00:01:27Thank you very much.
00:01:28All right, Galat Motorsports Park.
00:01:29How y'all doing today?
00:01:30Y'all can do way better than that.
00:01:43I know it's Sunday, but let's try again.
00:01:44Galat Motorsports Park, how you doing today?
00:01:45All right, that was better.
00:01:46All right, y'all.
00:01:47I appreciate you coming and spending your Sunday with us today.
00:01:50The weather is, you know what?
00:01:51It could be hot, and its not hot, so I am not complaining one bit.
00:01:54All right, a little bit of wind, that's okay.
00:02:04A little chilly.
00:02:06We got a lot of racing that is going to happen next week.
00:02:15Got it faster than it is military.
00:02:19that is going to happen here today.
00:02:20You're going to love it. We're going to have a lot of fun.
00:02:25We are here at Galat Motorsports Park,
00:02:27and it is time for the Invitational Race.
00:02:29For the first time all season long,
00:02:32each round is now worth points and a half,
00:02:35which means when racer wins a round,
00:02:37they now get 15 points instead of 10.
00:02:41Team Kai is coming into the event
00:02:42sitting on top of the leaderboard,
00:02:44but it is tight at the top.
00:02:45The gap between first and fifth is only 260 points.
00:02:50There are still enough points up for grabs
00:02:52for any of the top teams to make a run
00:02:54and take over that number one spot.
00:02:57And with the big name trade that Kai and Ryan made last week,
00:03:00I bet Sean is still thinking about
00:03:01how he can get himself Scott Taylor.
00:03:07So we all know we got to do as well as we can
00:03:10with these points and a half.
00:03:11We got three races to either catch up or forget it.
00:03:14And at this point right now,
00:03:15we're getting left behind.
00:03:17Some of the teams are out of reach of this championship.
00:03:19We are not.
00:03:20Now is the time.
00:03:21So we're going to do whatever we can
00:03:23to get Scott Taylor on our team.
00:03:24Last week, they wanted 10 for just Scott,
00:03:27and it just, it wasn't feasible.
00:03:30I offered 7,500.
00:03:31I think he's going to take that offer.
00:03:33We're going to have to come up with the money.
00:03:35Luckily, my team said that they'd all pitch in,
00:03:37so it's doable now.
00:03:39You're dropping dock.
00:03:40Got to, man.
00:03:41Yeah.
00:03:41Got to.
00:03:41At this point,
00:03:42we have to make a business decision,
00:03:45and you can't think with your heart every time.
00:03:47Yep.
00:03:47You know what I mean?
00:03:50Got so much broken to pay for.
00:03:53I'll get it.
00:03:54No, and that's why I wanted to talk to you,
00:03:56because I didn't,
00:03:58I know that,
00:04:00yeah, me moving don't necessarily help you,
00:04:02but it helps you financially.
00:04:04So the trade with Scott Taylor.
00:04:08Man, that's a tough one.
00:04:10Scott wants to move on.
00:04:11You know,
00:04:11if he feels that's the direction that he needs to go
00:04:13to do better with two races left,
00:04:15I understand.
00:04:16We've blown up three motors,
00:04:18so we could actually, you know,
00:04:19use some money.
00:04:20Our resources are limited compared to,
00:04:23you know,
00:04:23some of the other ones that are out here,
00:04:24which,
00:04:25which that's nobody's fault but my own,
00:04:26but either way,
00:04:27we're not doing it for free.
00:04:29You know,
00:04:29I'm actually hoping maybe I can put Brandon
00:04:31on a good team also,
00:04:33you know,
00:04:33they can go on a winning team
00:04:34and possibly win a championship.
00:04:37This is the second week
00:04:39we got Damon on the team.
00:04:41Hi, man.
00:04:41We're glad to have you, man.
00:04:42Good job.
00:04:43Glad to be here.
00:04:44Yeah.
00:04:45Sorry we ****.
00:04:45I'm glad to have him
00:04:46at the last invitation,
00:04:47because he helped me bail you guys out.
00:04:52So it's been a long, hard road,
00:04:54but I'm feeling good coming into this race.
00:04:56Our car was fast at the last race.
00:04:57I did go to the finals, though.
00:04:58We turned our luck around,
00:04:59so I'm looking for the,
00:05:01uphill climb now,
00:05:02because we already went back to the bottom.
00:05:04Now it's time to come back up.
00:05:06It feels good to be this close to the championship.
00:05:08What sucks is I've always been number two,
00:05:10so there was no stress.
00:05:11There was nothing.
00:05:12No pressure.
00:05:13You're just chasing that number one guy.
00:05:15But now it's way worse
00:05:16being in the number one spot
00:05:17in these last couple races,
00:05:18especially knowing
00:05:19that people's going to be getting
00:05:20points in a half and double points.
00:05:22We've done good all year.
00:05:24Started off at the end of the year,
00:05:25me, David, and Lizzie,
00:05:27totting our team.
00:05:27We stayed in first.
00:05:28Then we picked up two.
00:05:29That was a big help.
00:05:31And then right here in the end,
00:05:32I think we got the most solid team
00:05:35there is here.
00:05:36As long as we can keep things together.
00:05:39You got Ryan with a lot of momentum.
00:05:42Yes.
00:05:43And his team.
00:05:44And Nate.
00:05:44And you got point and a half,
00:05:45point and a half,
00:05:46and then double points.
00:05:47We need to stop Nate Taylor.
00:05:49Yes.
00:05:50I want us to win.
00:05:51Yeah, I mean,
00:05:52that's what we're here for.
00:05:53Oh, look at this.
00:05:57He got a Scott Taylor pin on.
00:06:00It's crazy.
00:06:03I like that.
00:06:04What's up, Scotty?
00:06:05Hey, man.
00:06:05How you doing, buddy?
00:06:06Good, buddy.
00:06:06How are you doing today?
00:06:08Well, let's go ahead
00:06:09and start our captain's meeting.
00:06:10We do this before every race.
00:06:12Fine.
00:06:12It gives you your chance
00:06:14as a team captain
00:06:15to make changes
00:06:16or trades.
00:06:20Stabbed in the back.
00:06:21I lay around.
00:06:22Everybody.
00:06:23It's awesome.
00:06:24And as always,
00:06:25we start with the team
00:06:26that has the most...
00:06:29Last place.
00:06:30Yeah.
00:06:30Like sugarcoat.
00:06:31Yeah.
00:06:31Dean, any changes
00:06:33for you before this race?
00:06:36No.
00:06:36We're good.
00:06:38So no changes.
00:06:39No changes.
00:06:40Mr. Murillo.
00:06:41Something may be going on here.
00:06:42Is it going to happen?
00:06:43I don't know.
00:06:44Maybe.
00:06:44That's what we're here
00:06:44to talk about.
00:06:45What do we got to do
00:06:46to get there?
00:06:46Oh, hey!
00:06:48Oh, my God.
00:06:50Is it going to happen?
00:06:51Yeah.
00:06:51Well, I don't know.
00:06:52We need...
00:06:53Wait, wait.
00:06:53How much is there?
00:06:54Which is there?
00:06:54$7,500.
00:06:55Where's the scooter?
00:06:56That's his deal.
00:06:58That's his deal.
00:06:58I told y'all
00:06:59that's between y'all.
00:07:00I think we're giving
00:07:00like a $250.
00:07:02A $250?
00:07:03Yeah, a scooter.
00:07:04Is that the small one?
00:07:04Yeah.
00:07:05He didn't say what kind.
00:07:07No, I didn't.
00:07:07Now, see there?
00:07:08I think they come upon
00:07:09a pretty good agreement.
00:07:11Murdered over wanted
00:07:11to pay $5,000.
00:07:12Really wanted $10,000.
00:07:13They met in the middle.
00:07:14Did $7,500.
00:07:15He even got me
00:07:16to chip in a Burmax scooter.
00:07:18So everybody's
00:07:19out of pocket a little bit.
00:07:19But, hey, if I can
00:07:20go up to a team
00:07:22that's doing good
00:07:22and maybe learn something
00:07:23from my program,
00:07:25I'll be happy.
00:07:26Who are you trading for?
00:07:27I'm trading Doc.
00:07:29Doc?
00:07:29We didn't talk about that.
00:07:31I didn't hear that.
00:07:32Oh, yeah.
00:07:33No, we never talked about that.
00:07:34Doc was the guy.
00:07:35Doc was the guy.
00:07:36Now the money's stock.
00:07:38Hold up.
00:07:38This is pretty funny.
00:07:40So close.
00:07:42Now, hold on.
00:07:43There's something else
00:07:43I want to talk about.
00:07:44Oh, shit.
00:07:44I want to do, okay,
00:07:45I want nothing for Brandon,
00:07:48but I want Brandon to go also.
00:07:50Nothing for Brandon.
00:07:52Who else would you trade
00:07:54other than Doc?
00:07:55B-Rad.
00:07:56Okay, B-Rad
00:07:57and Doc
00:07:59and our deal here
00:08:00and Brandon and Scooter.
00:08:03This is interesting.
00:08:04That's a good deal.
00:08:06I wasn't expecting this at all.
00:08:08I didn't consider
00:08:09trading B-Rad yet.
00:08:13Well,
00:08:13Brandon James is already in.
00:08:15It is a no-brainer
00:08:16in my opinion.
00:08:18Sorry, B-Rad.
00:08:19I appreciate everything,
00:08:21but at this point,
00:08:22we have to have
00:08:23five people in
00:08:24at all times
00:08:25if we're going to have
00:08:26any shot
00:08:26at winning this.
00:08:28Yeah.
00:08:28Personally,
00:08:29I think it's a good deal.
00:08:30Oh, dang.
00:08:31All right, we got a deal.
00:08:32Okay, done deal.
00:08:33You got two new teammates.
00:08:34So,
00:08:34sorry, Doc.
00:08:36Doc.
00:08:36Yeah, sorry, B-Rad.
00:08:38Yeah.
00:08:38I told him
00:08:38I'd let him race
00:08:39this way in today
00:08:40before I thought
00:08:41about trading.
00:08:42To be in this series
00:08:43as long as I have been
00:08:44and knowing
00:08:45what's going on
00:08:46this year
00:08:46with the points,
00:08:47the teams,
00:08:48and the already trading
00:08:50and swapping
00:08:50of team players already,
00:08:52you have to be an idiot
00:08:53not to realize
00:08:54that at any given day
00:08:56your weakest link
00:08:57could be traded.
00:08:57I like that pin.
00:08:59That's right.
00:09:00All right, Bodie,
00:09:01you still have
00:09:02a couple guys
00:09:02on your team
00:09:03you have not sold.
00:09:04You've got...
00:09:04You've got Bowman
00:09:07and Bobby.
00:09:08No, no, no.
00:09:09Bowman and Bobby.
00:09:10Uh-uh.
00:09:11And then, uh-uh.
00:09:11Okay.
00:09:12We're good.
00:09:13Okay.
00:09:14Swanstrom.
00:09:15Uh, no, I'm good.
00:09:16Okay.
00:09:17Ryan.
00:09:18Yeah.
00:09:19No, I think we're good.
00:09:21I think I made
00:09:21a pretty big change
00:09:22last week.
00:09:22You did.
00:09:23Paid off.
00:09:23I paid off.
00:09:24Yeah.
00:09:24So, we're good.
00:09:26Dave.
00:09:26Uh, no.
00:09:27I got Kyle back,
00:09:28so I got all five in.
00:09:29We're good.
00:09:30Kyle.
00:09:32I'm good.
00:09:33Anything you'd like
00:09:33to share with the group?
00:09:34We got all five in.
00:09:35Good.
00:09:36All right.
00:09:37Points and a half.
00:09:37Points and a half.
00:09:39This is a pretty big race.
00:09:40This is the first race
00:09:41of points and a half,
00:09:42and if anybody's
00:09:44going to make a push
00:09:44to the end,
00:09:45it really doesn't matter
00:09:46who it is.
00:09:46Me, anybody that's
00:09:47not in first place,
00:09:48this is where you start.
00:09:49All right.
00:09:50Well, that's all I got, guys.
00:09:51All right.
00:09:52All right.
00:09:52In the captain's meeting,
00:09:54we saw another big trade.
00:09:56Murillo put up Scott Taylor
00:09:57and Brandon James
00:09:58in exchange for
00:09:58Doc B-Rad $7,500
00:10:00and a scooter.
00:10:02The big ticket items
00:10:03in the trade
00:10:04were very strange,
00:10:05but look,
00:10:05if these captains
00:10:06are trying to get
00:10:06their angle
00:10:07into this championship,
00:10:09this change
00:10:09could make
00:10:10a huge difference.
00:10:12Hey, we're glad
00:10:12to have you guys.
00:10:13Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:10:14Thanks.
00:10:14I'm happy to be here.
00:10:15We do still have
00:10:16a shot, though,
00:10:17especially with
00:10:18the points and a half
00:10:19today,
00:10:21next week,
00:10:22and then double.
00:10:23We got a real good shot.
00:10:25Still achievable.
00:10:25It's doable.
00:10:26We have to do well
00:10:27this weekend
00:10:28to still continue
00:10:30to have a shot.
00:10:30We need the Nates
00:10:31drawing the kies.
00:10:33Ryan, Robin, Robin.
00:10:35Yes.
00:10:35Yes.
00:10:36Stuff like that.
00:10:37I agree.
00:10:37So we need some
00:10:37of them teams
00:10:38to go out.
00:10:39So we need some luck.
00:10:40Yeah, we need some luck
00:10:41and us running good
00:10:42at the same time.
00:10:43I think all five people
00:10:43on this team
00:10:44could win at any moment.
00:10:45I think so, too.
00:10:46That's a good thing.
00:10:46One of us needs
00:10:47to win this event
00:10:48this weekend.
00:10:49It would be nice.
00:10:50For sure.
00:10:52With the addition
00:10:53of Scott and Brandon,
00:10:54Team Murder Nova
00:10:54now has all five drivers
00:10:56in the event,
00:10:57leaving Team Murillo
00:10:58with none.
00:11:00So that trade
00:11:01is already working out
00:11:02for Sean.
00:11:03The top three teams
00:11:04in points,
00:11:05Team Kai,
00:11:05Team Ryan,
00:11:06and Team Dave,
00:11:07also have all five in.
00:11:09While Disco Dean,
00:11:11Bodie,
00:11:11and Swanstrom
00:11:12each have four.
00:11:13With this event
00:11:14being points and a half,
00:11:15every driver in the field
00:11:16will earn 15 points
00:11:17just for making it
00:11:18into the first round.
00:11:20But these captains know
00:11:21they've got to move
00:11:22as many drivers
00:11:23as possible
00:11:24into the later rounds
00:11:25in order to stay
00:11:26in contention
00:11:26for the championship.
00:11:28As you can see,
00:11:29we have a group
00:11:30of drivers here
00:11:31on the starting line.
00:11:32This group of drivers
00:11:33is the 32 drivers
00:11:34that will be competing
00:11:35for $40,000 today.
00:11:38There's 32 of them.
00:11:39These drivers
00:11:40are going to each
00:11:40draw a chip
00:11:41out of the bucket.
00:11:49Ow, damn it.
00:11:50You want me to pull you out?
00:11:51Let me pull you on out.
00:11:57Round one,
00:11:58there are a couple matchups
00:11:59to keep your eye on.
00:12:01Scott Taylor's going up
00:12:01against Kyle Canyon.
00:12:03Look,
00:12:03you've got to think
00:12:04Scott is really wanting
00:12:05to prove
00:12:06that he is worth
00:12:07the money
00:12:08and the scooter
00:12:09that was put up
00:12:10to get the trade.
00:12:12Then you've got Damon
00:12:13going up against Lizzie.
00:12:14Look,
00:12:14two new teammates,
00:12:16two heavy hitters
00:12:17going up against each other.
00:12:19And then we've got
00:12:20Kai Kelly going up
00:12:21against Axeman.
00:12:22Look,
00:12:22a lot of pressure
00:12:23on this race.
00:12:24Kai Kelly trying
00:12:25to keep his team
00:12:26in first place
00:12:26and Axeman
00:12:27sitting on the
00:12:28second place team.
00:12:31All right, folks.
00:12:33Invitational first round
00:12:33starts right now.
00:12:34First pair.
00:12:35That's going to be
00:12:35Rich Bruder
00:12:36going up against
00:12:37David Gates.
00:12:40First pair out.
00:12:41All right,
00:12:41he's coming now.
00:12:42Sorry, David.
00:12:43Don't matter.
00:12:43We got it.
00:12:45Round one,
00:12:45we got David Gates.
00:12:46First round's
00:12:47a tough round
00:12:48and we've got to
00:12:48put a fast dude up in it.
00:12:49We can't take him late.
00:12:50So if we can knock him out
00:12:51on this round,
00:12:52you know,
00:12:52that'll allow us
00:12:53to get some more points
00:12:54even though it's
00:12:54one and a half points.
00:12:55So that's it.
00:12:56We got to do
00:12:56what we got to do.
00:13:00You're safe, buddy.
00:13:00Be safe, buddy.
00:13:01You too.
00:13:01You're safe.

00:13:24The goal
00:13:25when we got here
00:13:25is to go win the thing
00:13:27and after testing
00:13:27Friday night,
00:13:28I feel like we got
00:13:29the car to be here
00:13:30this weekend
00:13:30along with our team
00:13:31captain Kai Kelly
00:13:32and we know
00:13:33where we stand at now
00:13:34and the car's reacting
00:13:35to what we're doing to it
00:13:36and I think at the end
00:13:37of the night,
00:13:37I hope to be standing here
00:13:38holding that trophy
00:13:39drinking cold beer.
00:13:40All right, folks,
00:14:02the invitational first round
00:14:03starts right now.
00:14:04First pair,
00:14:05that's going to be Rich Bruder
00:14:06going up against David
00:14:07and Gates.
00:14:24And Rich Bruder
00:14:27takes the win.
00:14:30Great drag,
00:14:31Rich Bruder
00:14:32turns on the win light.
00:14:33Ours got all
00:14:36out back.
00:14:37What'd you do?
00:14:38She looked like a
00:14:39first car's out.
00:14:46Hard to be in the first
00:14:47pair's out.
00:14:50I'm about ready
00:14:51not to be any pair's out.
00:14:54All right, folks,
00:14:55next pair coming up
00:14:55right now,
00:14:56you're going to have
00:14:56Bodie going up
00:14:57against Kayla Morton.
00:14:58Okay, so we had
00:15:00some issues on Friday.
00:15:01Worked really hard
00:15:02to get it back together.
00:15:04The next three races
00:15:05are extremely important.
00:15:07Yeah, points and a half.
00:15:09Points and a half
00:15:09and then double points.
00:15:11It is invitational day.
00:15:13It's a very important day
00:15:14because we do have
00:15:15points and a half.
00:15:15You can't help
00:15:16but be a little nervous
00:15:17in these situations
00:15:18just because points and a half
00:15:19can make you or break you.
00:15:21I definitely have
00:15:21a little bubble guts today.
00:15:23So it'll be a driver's
00:15:24wheel race
00:15:25and a tuner's computer race.
00:15:27Yes, it's definitely
00:15:28a different track
00:15:29and we tend to thrive
00:15:31on off-the-trailer races
00:15:32and I like our chances here.
00:15:34Cool, let's go do it.
00:15:36We drew Bodie round one
00:15:37which is a pretty solid draw.
00:15:39Chase always tells me
00:15:40draw good before I go
00:15:42and I think we did just that.
00:15:52Team got four in, man.
00:15:54Everybody's car
00:15:55seems to be running good.
00:15:56We got some momentum going, man.
00:15:58I know I got a tough fight
00:15:59but I feel good, man.
00:16:00I got the right lane.
00:16:01I liked it.
00:16:01I wanted it so
00:16:02I'm ready to go out there
00:16:03and show what this car can do.
00:16:24And Kayla Morton will take the win there.
00:16:31Nice pass right down through there.
00:16:32Bodie, he might have had to pedal there.
00:16:36Round one is always
00:16:37the most nerve-wracking
00:16:38so I'm really glad
00:16:39to get that over with.
00:16:40We had a lot of problems
00:16:41on Friday that we had to fix
00:16:42so I'm glad she's back together
00:16:44and she's healthy
00:16:45and honestly I was a little worried
00:16:46about Bodie guessing
00:16:47but he didn't
00:16:48and yeah, on to round two
00:16:50so it's smooth sailing now.
00:16:52All right, next pair
00:16:53coming up right now
00:16:54we got Chuck Sightseger
00:16:55going up against
00:16:56your grade eight winner.
00:16:58Nate Saylor.
00:17:00Well, we finally got
00:17:02that monkey off our back.
00:17:03Yeah.
00:17:04I wanted that grade eight badly.
00:17:06Badly.
00:17:08We just got off
00:17:08the grade eight last night.
00:17:09We got our first grade eight win.
00:17:10We're super jacked about that.
00:17:12We got a badass car right now.
00:17:14This thing's flying.
00:17:15We're ready for the invitation
00:17:16today to collect some points.
00:17:17Everything should stay the same.
00:17:19We got the new pushrods in
00:17:20and we got more room
00:17:22on our table
00:17:23for another trophy
00:17:23so I really want to do that today
00:17:25and this track's fast.
00:17:28Today's point and a half date
00:17:29so with five guys going rounds
00:17:31from our team
00:17:32we can shorten that gap up
00:17:33like we can make that gap
00:17:34disappear today.
00:17:35So that's our plan.
00:17:36That's what we're going to do.
00:17:37Anything any one of these guys needs
00:17:39whatever I have is theirs.
00:17:40This team is ready
00:17:41to back each other
00:17:42and we're ready to win
00:17:43this championship.
00:17:49I had a mishap on Friday
00:17:57we torched a boater
00:17:58we broke two rods
00:17:59I made it in the invitational
00:18:00then I draw Nate Saylor
00:18:03like probably the fastest guy
00:18:05out of the parking lot
00:18:05but you can't win this invitational
00:18:07without going through the best
00:18:08so whether I race the first round
00:18:10or the last round
00:18:11you got to beat him
00:18:12in order to win this $40,000
00:18:13so hell, bring it up.
00:18:33And Nate Saylor
00:18:34will take the win there
00:18:35nice pass for Nate
00:18:37he'll move on the next round.
00:18:39That just took whatever he gave it
00:18:40so it did, didn't it?
00:18:41I was honestly afraid
00:18:46he was going to jump on me
00:18:47just because he's kind of
00:18:49known for that
00:18:49and he didn't
00:18:50he made it a fair race
00:18:51we turned on the green light
00:18:53it went right down the line
00:18:54and she's solid today
00:18:55so we got a good race car.
00:18:57Hey, hey, come win this
00:18:58go win this whole thing

00:21:55all the fast guys will roll right up front
00:21:58round one I drew Bobby Ducote
00:22:00he's a wild card
00:22:01he can be fast

00:22:04you never know what he's going to do
00:22:05so

00:22:20it cranks
00:22:21I know that much
00:22:22so
00:22:22we're about to see what the rest of it's going to do
00:22:24I'm going to try to tree them
00:22:25and hope I stay out front of them
00:22:27and get the W
00:22:27because they've got to give me some freaking points
00:22:29alright folks next pair
00:22:42that's going to be Bobby Ducote
00:22:43going up against Robin Roberts
00:22:45roll up against Bobby
00:22:59the car shook just a little bit and then hauled out the back door so I knew it was over and I never saw him
00:23:03I was the third team driver to go and the third one to get the W for team Ryan Martin we're in a great spot
00:23:10oh yeah that's going to race
00:23:12oh yeah that's going to race this thing fast
00:23:14yeah thanks
00:23:14alright folks this next pair here that's going to be Cali Mills going up against Brandon James
00:23:18go out there and quiver a little bit but you're going to have to stay with it until you you know you know when how far to take it
00:23:25alright
00:23:26okay
00:23:27okay
00:23:28alright
00:23:29I actually raced Brandon James in the grudge passes and pretty close race until I had to abort
00:23:33I know that my car is faster now than it was when we raced him so I think it should be good as long as I can do my job on the tree and not let him get out on me
00:23:39we broke a lot of things the other day I mean everything's new transmission's new third member's new so
00:23:46I think it should be good as long as I can do my job on the tree and not let him get out on me
00:23:54we broke a lot of things the other day I mean everything's new transmission's new third member's new so
00:24:09we can't really run it exactly how we would normally run it but we kind of know about where she's at so
00:24:14I'm confident going in the first round
00:24:16what a drag race there
00:24:23alright next pair that's going to be Chris Rankin going up against Jeff Lutz
00:24:31round one drivers meeting I draw Chris Rankin I've raced him many times before and I've always come out with a win so I don't plan it any different but hey he's getting better his car's fast
00:24:38he's one to watch out for I just don't know if it's going to be today
00:24:45what a drag race there
00:24:47alright next pair that's going to be Chris Rankin going up against Jeff Lutz
00:24:53round one drivers meeting I draw Chris Rankin I've raced him many times before and I've always come out with a win so I don't plan it any different but hey he's getting better his car's fast
00:25:00he's one to watch out for I just don't know if it's going to be today
00:25:15good old Lutz
00:25:17good old Lutz
00:25:18somehow we've raced him three times now in the Invitational
00:25:21hopefully third time's a charm we can get over one of them on this one and we need it
00:25:24they got a fast hot rod and they're pretty damn consistent so we're going to have a work cut out for us but
00:25:28we've got to beat the best to be the best so a lot of best guys here they've got to be beat yet need one of them
00:25:33and Jeff Lutz is out of there like a rocket ship gets the win Chris Rankin
00:25:56something break your right on the line
00:26:03so the race went for me good for Lutz got the win
00:26:08damn it man
00:26:13we'll get it apart here see what happened hopefully Lutz can go on and move on and do really well for himself
00:26:18damn
00:26:19alright Kyle Canyon going up against Scott Scooter Taylor
00:26:24everything good you think?
00:26:27we've got to shake these first round blues we're on a new team
00:26:30uh Team Murder Nova now and
00:26:32we've been stinking for about six races and
00:26:35it's time to turn that around
00:26:37a little bit of pressure
00:26:41probably be a pretty tight race with him
00:26:43yes with Scott
00:26:44we got points to make up after the last two races being gone
00:26:47making that up pretty fast was points and a half today
00:26:50I know Dave's counting on us to go rounds and he was missing us the last two races so
00:26:54we've got a good hot rod we've got a good car
00:26:56it's time to go prove it
00:26:57it's time to go prove it
00:27:27and Kyle Canyon
00:27:35gets the win
00:27:37what was that bobble bobble?
00:27:38he's just not comfortable in the car man
00:27:40been there though whenever you lose so much man and you're just not confident in the car
00:27:44I think that's the problem
00:27:45because he shouldn't have went up on the brake that early
00:27:47yeah that was weird
00:27:48it seems like no matter how much we test the first round is just killing us
00:27:55and down towards the finish line uh transmission line blows off
00:27:59thankfully you know if we're gonna look at any kind of luck at least it didn't burn me
00:28:03uh it sprayed to the right side of the car and honestly that's pretty lucky I'm not going to the hospital right now
00:28:09so I'm gonna take it as a win you know I'm healthy I can watch my friends race
00:28:13and uh we try to be the ones they're watching next week
00:28:16make a decent pass or something happened
00:28:19uh it blew a hydraulic line inside here
00:28:21I'm just happy it didn't get me it
00:28:23it like shot it burned all the carpet straight through like
00:28:26next pair
00:28:27that's gonna be Larry Larson going up against Daddy Dave
00:28:32I think I'll make the same pass that made the other night we'll be good to go
00:28:35here in Galap we drew Dave again
00:28:38we get a little chance to redeem ourselves today first round again so
00:28:42that'll that'll put a little hurting on those guys if we can take him out and with this points deal
00:28:47I think it's gonna get pretty interesting the next three races
00:28:56we got really good test passes in uh the other night
00:28:59the car's good um we freshened the motor up everything should be good to go
00:29:03I got Larry Larson again um we've met up quite a few times this season and he hasn't outran me yet
00:29:08so I want to keep that streak going and uh see if we can go into the second round
00:29:13I don't think
00:29:15I think Larry's late
00:29:18I think Larry's late
00:29:20I figured he knew we'd have his ass
00:29:25well that race was a little let's just say aggravating
00:29:26Larry if you think I jumped on you I apologize I had no intentions of guessing
00:29:30it
00:29:31the crappy part about it is if you're gonna jump admit you jump don't stand down there to lie to
00:29:35me
00:29:36I think he thinks I guessed on him
00:29:38did you
00:29:40did you
00:29:41I don't know I'm pretty sure I did not
00:29:42did I leave early was it green

00:30:14you might have left early but you didn't go red
00:30:15okay
00:30:16all right the next pair we got chuck 55 going up against
00:30:21Jim Howland
00:30:22good luck Jim
00:30:23you bet
00:30:24now we're moving into that points and a half
00:30:25in our points takes right
00:30:28now so today is a big day
00:30:30we drew our good friend chug 55
00:30:32they've had some struggles here lately
00:30:33but uh when that car makes a good rip it's usually fast
00:30:36I drew Jim Howe, and he's probably one of the five cars I wouldn't wish for in first
00:30:47round.
00:30:48But hey, eventually you're gonna have to draw somebody fast, and I think we got the car
00:30:53that can beat him.
00:30:54I'm gonna try to leave on him, and if I can leave on him, I think we gotta cover him.
00:31:06All right, the next pair, you got Chuck 55 going up against Jim Howe, and Chuck 55 with a great
00:31:34pass.
00:31:35Gets the win.
00:31:36Nice job.
00:31:37Chuck 55 moving on the next round.
00:31:41Man, that was a drag race.
00:31:45Mine tried to go right.
00:31:47I seen him starting to make a move.
00:31:49Yeah.
00:31:50And I thought, man, I just hope mine will stay hooked.
00:31:53And it did, thank goodness.
00:31:54All right, folks, next pair here in this invitational first round, gonna be a good one.
00:31:59Driving the Pro Charge Camaro, that is gonna be Damon Merchant going up against Lizzie Musee.
00:32:04Did you guys look at the air last, or no?
00:32:05I haven't lately.
00:32:06It was like 1,300 last time I worked.
00:32:07It went up.
00:32:08So today is the official invitational day.
00:32:11The rain has passed.
00:32:12We got some cloud cover.
00:32:13It's actually pretty chilly out.
00:32:14Good temps for nitrous cars.
00:32:15We like to go fast in that.
00:32:16Okay, going in.
00:32:17Love you.
00:32:18Of course.
00:32:19We go out for first round of chip draw, and I get Damon Merchant first round.
00:32:21Damon was definitely not the one I wanted to draw first round for invitational, especially
00:32:26he's on our team, and, you know, he's fast.
00:32:29It don't sound right, does it?
00:32:30Oh, I don't.
00:32:31It sounded right there.
00:32:34It didn't sound right on idle.
00:32:48Sound like a miss in a couple.
00:32:50Oh, man.
00:32:52Okay, so I got that pull.
00:32:57I sound like I'm missing a couple.
00:33:05Nah, she would never come up here hurt on purpose.
00:33:08Pat would never do that.
00:33:10She's not better now.
00:33:13Damon Merchant in the right lane.
00:33:16Lizzie over here in this left lane.
00:33:19Pat, you see the racing engines on board.
00:33:27And Damon Merchant gets her on the tree.
00:33:47Never looks back.
00:33:50The car made a phenomenal pass, so I'm super pumped about that.
00:33:57The guy's been working their ass off.
00:33:59And we're heading in the right direction right now.
00:34:01We've got a hot rod that can win this thing.
00:34:03Good? Good job on that tree.
00:34:05Did I get it?
00:34:07Yeah, you did.
00:34:09It's all good.
00:34:11Yeah, it didn't shift, so.
00:34:13It really didn't?
00:34:14No.
00:34:15He said it looks like you had an issue or something.
00:34:17Yeah.
00:34:18I don't know what the hell's going on.
00:34:20I'm not having any luck, I can tell you.
00:34:22Sometimes I'd rather be lucky any time of the day.
00:34:25I said that same thing.
00:34:26Yeah.
00:34:27Sometimes you gotta be lucky and good.
00:34:28Yeah.
00:34:29That sucks.
00:34:30We've got another freaking first round loss eating away at me
00:34:34because it's been several events in a row, so.
00:34:36And that's not typical for us.
00:34:38We'll at least go a couple of rounds, you know?
00:34:41I don't know.
00:34:42This is a little rough.
00:34:44So now, keep going.
00:34:45Thank you, ma'am.
00:34:46Next fair, that's gonna be Jimmy Taylor
00:34:49going up against Ryan Martin.
00:34:53Good luck, Clay.
00:34:54Thank you, man.
00:34:55Appreciate that.
00:34:58This is a big race.
00:34:59This is the first one at points and a half,
00:35:01so we've got three races left,
00:35:03and it goes points and a half, points and a half,
00:35:04and double points.
00:35:05This being the first points and a half,
00:35:07and us getting all good draws,
00:35:09and Kai not getting such a good draw,
00:35:11this is our opportunity to catch him.
00:35:13He's been running away with this deal this year,
00:35:15and we need to go get him,
00:35:16and this is our chance to make a big move.
00:35:18So all it's gonna take is a couple of us to get in the finals,
00:35:20which means we gotta have good cars that run good,
00:35:22and we stay away from each other.
00:35:23We're in North Carolina, getting ready to run the first round of the Invitational.
00:35:38We made it in yesterday.
00:35:40We're drawing Ryan Martin.
00:35:42First pass.
00:35:43Ryan's strong.
00:35:44He runs good.
00:35:45I think we've got something for him, though.
00:35:47We ran Friday night.
00:35:48Our car ran the three best passes it's ever ran.
00:35:50We're gonna leave it all under on the line.
00:35:53And Ryan Martin right down Broadway gets the win.
00:36:13Nice job.
00:36:14Jimmy Taylor has some issues there.
00:36:16That left lane has to get out of it.
00:36:18This is points and a half, so every one of these rounds are super crucial.
00:36:23The important thing is just to keep going and collecting points.
00:36:25My team's sitting in a pretty good spot.
00:36:27So far, four of my five guys are in.
00:36:29I got Giuseppe left, and I think he's probably gonna be in too,
00:36:32but we're sitting pretty good already.
00:36:35Good race, Jimmy.
00:36:36Good race, buddy.
00:36:37I busted rear-enter drive line.
00:36:39Did you?
00:36:40I hate to hear that.
00:36:41I don't like that we didn't get a good race.
00:36:43Thanks, man.
00:36:44Appreciate it.
00:36:45Sorry to hear that, man.
00:36:46Part of it.
00:36:47Let me know.
00:36:48Nah.
00:36:49Thanks, man.
00:36:51All right, folks.
00:36:52This next pair right here is gonna be a good one.
00:36:53That's gonna be Axeman going up against Kai Kelly.
00:36:56Let's see how it goes.
00:36:58Yeah, it sucks about Damon and Lizzie drawing each other, though.
00:37:02That's two of our consistently fast cars.
00:37:06Yeah.
00:37:07It's the first race of points and a half.
00:37:08We're hoping we can do better this week and go some rounds,
00:37:11because everybody's starting to catch us.
00:37:13Going into the day, I got five in, but the top four teams has got five in,
00:37:16so they really don't matter.
00:37:17We just, we really need to go rounds with them.
00:37:19We need to take them out, round by round, and hopefully be the last one standing.
00:37:23Round one, I drew Axeman.
00:37:37Axeman's been guessing on everybody, but I feel like me and him is good enough buddies that I think he'll give me a straight up race, so I'm gonna go up there and run my race.
00:37:44I'm not gonna guess on him.
00:37:46I'm gonna leave on green and see what happens.
00:37:48All right, folks.
00:37:49This next fair right here gonna be a good one.
00:37:50That's gonna be Axeman going up against Kyle and Kelly.
00:37:55All right, folks.
00:37:56All right, folks.
00:37:57This next fair right here gonna be a good one.
00:37:58That's gonna be Axeman going up against Kyle and Kelly.
00:38:02All right, folks.
00:38:03This next fair right here gonna be a good one.
00:38:04That's gonna be Axeman going up against Kyle and Kelly.
00:38:09Axeman's gonna get the win.
00:38:11Kyle and Kelly's car dies on the starting line.
00:38:16Axeman gets the win.
00:38:21Kyle and Kelly's car dies on the starting line.
00:38:28Wow.
00:38:29Is that a lower belt?
00:38:30Yup.
00:38:31Is that another belt?
00:38:32We do our burnouts.
00:38:33I stage.
00:38:34I get ready to leave on green, and a blower belt breaks again.
00:38:37This year's been a year of that kind of dumb ass happening.
00:38:39It's a tough loss for me today.
00:38:41Uh, it makes it aware of the rest of these teams is gonna catch us today.
00:38:44It just sucks.
00:38:45A situation.
00:38:46Nothing good comes from it, and I really don't know how to take it.
00:38:47I'm just pissed off, feeling sorry for myself, and that's about it.
00:38:48So I get worse.
00:38:49Let's go.
00:38:50Let's go.
00:38:51Yeah.
00:38:52Let's go.
00:38:53Let's go.
00:38:54I'm about to go.
00:38:55We're gonna race.
00:38:56That's a train.
00:38:57Let's go.
00:38:58Let's go.
00:38:59Let's go.
00:39:00Let's go.
00:39:01Let's go.
00:39:02I'll be able to go.
00:39:03Yeah.
00:39:04It's five minutes.
00:39:05Let's go.
00:39:06We're up.
00:39:07Let's go.
00:39:08You're up.
00:39:09and that's about it.
00:39:15All right, folks, next pair coming at you right now.
00:39:17That is gonna be Giuseppe going up against Justin Swanstrom.
00:39:23The team is in a real good position.
00:39:25We got all five drivers in.
00:39:26We got points and a half for this race.
00:39:28Feeling good about the car.
00:39:29It's right where it needs to be.
00:39:30As long as we make a nice, clean run,
00:39:32I feel like we can beat Justin on this round.
00:39:39This weekend, we're short on hands.
00:39:44My dad had some work issues come up.
00:39:46This will be my first race racing without him,
00:39:48so that definitely sucks,
00:39:50but I've called him every pass that we've made.
00:39:53He's watching it on live feed.
00:39:54He's trying to coach me through.
00:39:56I made three passes Friday night,
00:39:58and the car was steadily gradually driving left.
00:40:01We had to put some preload in the car,
00:40:03and I called him on the phone,
00:40:04and he talked me through on how to get everything ready,
00:40:06so hopefully this car will drive back straighter.
00:40:09And Seppi's gonna get the win there.
00:40:30Justin Swansham on a pass,
00:40:31but he's unglued there about the 3.30.
00:40:34You know, I went out there.
00:40:36This car out of nowhere, it just snapped sideways.
00:40:40If my dad was here,
00:40:41he probably could have read the track
00:40:43a little bit better than I did.
00:40:44You know, I tried my best,
00:40:45but it just wasn't good enough.
00:40:47Justin, good race, buddy.
00:40:50This will be the final pair for the first round.
00:40:53That is gonna be Paige Coughlin
00:40:54going up against Murder Nova.
00:40:57Hey, do you see a little starstruck
00:40:59race in Murder Nova,
00:41:00or is it an old hat at this point?
00:41:01Oh, no, it's...
00:41:02It'll be a starstruck every single time.
00:41:04You know, just because I might have
00:41:07a little fangirl moment
00:41:08doesn't mean I'm gonna go easy on him.
00:41:10This will be a great rematch.
00:41:11And we got the new motor in that car,
00:41:13so we're meeting business here.
00:41:15No easygoing for Murder Nova.
00:41:16I know what she has because it's the same thing that I have,
00:41:29and I don't know how much they're unleashing that car
00:41:32at this point,
00:41:33but I know what the car's capable of,
00:41:35and that's the only thing I can go off of,
00:41:37so I'm not gonna underestimate her.
00:41:46We made a good lick, man.
00:42:01I let go of the button.
00:42:04The car did exactly what we told it to do.
00:42:06She was right there.
00:42:07It looked like a good race,
00:42:08but we got that wind light, baby.
00:42:11You made a good one, didn't you?
00:42:12Thanks.
00:42:13We're still getting this thing figured out.
00:42:14It looked like you was right .
00:42:16As soon as I hit the chutes,
00:42:17I looked over and you was right there, so.
00:42:18I tried.
00:42:19That was long trees.
00:42:20It was, wasn't it?
00:42:21Holy smokes.
00:42:22I was like, don't you go run now.
00:42:23Don't do it.
00:42:24Good job.
00:42:25Good race.
00:42:26Good race.
00:42:27Going into round two,
00:42:28Ryan Martin has all five of his drivers still in the event.
00:42:32This really appears like Ryan's team has just got the momentum,
00:42:35and they are building on it.
00:42:37Day's team has four, Sean's team has three,
00:42:40and our number one in points, Team Kai, only has two.
00:42:43All right, here we go.
00:42:45Guys, this is your chance to make up ground on the number one team,
00:42:49which is Team Kai Kelly.
00:42:50It is one and a half times points, all right?
00:42:53So the points are getting bigger for each round, right?
00:42:55Let's go ahead and draw chips
00:42:56and see who is racing who here in this second round.
00:43:00Oh, .
00:43:02All right, guys.
00:43:04Let's start with number ones.
00:43:10First pair, Mike Bowman versus Murder Nova.
00:43:14Number two.
00:43:16Oh, yeah.
00:43:17Oh, boy.
00:43:18Gonna be Jeff Lutz versus Ryan Martin.
00:43:23Oh, teammates.
00:43:24Kyle Canyon versus Axeman.
00:43:26Callie Mills versus Daddy Dave.
00:43:29Number fives.
00:43:31Ooh.
00:43:32Clay Cole versus Robin Roberts.
00:43:35Giuseppe versus Chuck 55.
00:43:38Number seven is Rich Bruder versus Kayla Morton,
00:43:44which means my eighth and final pair.
00:43:46Oh, boy.
00:43:47Gonna be Damon Merchant versus Nate Sailor.
00:43:51That's gonna be a fast pass right there.
00:43:54Woo!
00:43:55Drivers, you know who you're racing.
00:43:57You know what you gotta do.
00:43:58Go back to the pits.
00:43:59Get your cars turned around.
00:44:00Bring them into the staging lanes.
00:44:02I wanna give someone $40,000 today.
00:44:04Let's see who it'll be.
00:44:05Let's go.
00:44:10Well, here we go.
00:44:11First pair coming at you right now in the second round.
00:44:14That's gonna be Mike Bowman going up against Murder Nova.
00:44:21It's the tough task of eating Sean right here.
00:44:24We're going in the second round.
00:44:26Who do I draw?
00:44:27Sean.
00:44:28I mean, probably one of the toughest guys here.
00:44:31So I stepped it up a little bit right here.
00:44:34Hopefully it hooks and, you know, makes the trip all the way down the racetrack
00:44:37and it cut a good light, and we'll see what we can do here.
00:44:40Hey, good luck, brother.
00:44:41Hey, good luck, man.
00:44:43Round two, I haven't raced Bowman.
00:44:46I don't know if I've raced him yet this season.
00:44:48At the beginning of the season, he was on fire.
00:44:50His car was one of the fastest on the property.
00:44:52He had a little bit of problems with it,
00:44:54and I actually think he's back now.
00:44:56He's been running good.
00:44:57He raced his way in.
00:44:58He's been taking out some big-name cars.
00:45:01And he's fast.
00:45:03We tweak the tune just a little bit off the first pass, try to go a little bit faster.
00:45:18We have to go as fast as we possibly can.
00:45:21And Mertanova takes the win with a great pass there in that left lane.
00:45:49Mike Bowman right there with him, but not enough.
00:45:52Oh, baby!
00:45:55I left on him, and I never looked back after that.
00:46:00We got the win light.
00:46:01It was a pretty close race, but on to the third round.
00:46:04Hey, man.
00:46:05Nice job, man.
00:46:06That was a good race, dude.
00:46:07Yes, it was.
00:46:08I got a little bit loose.
00:46:09Nice job, brother.
00:46:10You pull out in front of me, and you can't go around somebody.
00:46:13I know what that thing's capable of, and I know what you did early on in the season.
00:46:16So I promise you, man, I was worried.
00:46:18Yeah.
00:46:19All right, folks.
00:46:20Next pair right here, that's going to be Jeff Lutz going up against Ryan Martin.
00:46:24Good luck, homie.
00:46:25Love you, brother.
00:46:26Be safe, man.
00:46:27See you at the other end.
00:46:28All right.
00:46:29Round two, I get Ryan Martin.
00:46:30Out of everybody in that damn group, there's two people I damn want, Ryan Martin and Sean.
00:46:35So don't I get Ryan Martin.
00:46:53You know what?
00:46:54We've raced them here before, and we've beat them here before.
00:46:56So I'm going to give it hell.
00:46:58I'm going to give it hell.
00:47:23And Ryan Martin will take the win.
00:47:25That right there was a close race, folks, but Ryan Martin able to turn on that wind light
00:47:29to get the win.
00:47:30After that pass, I can say that we made all the right moves.
00:47:34That's really four straight passes in a row, so I'm excited about that.
00:47:38I think we cut a pretty good hot rod.
00:47:40The thing's running pretty good.
00:47:41We're down to eight, but it's all eight really fast cars.
00:47:44So we're going to see just how good we got it here pretty close.
00:47:48Race, man.
00:47:49Oh, yeah.
00:47:50Did you make a good pass?
00:47:51Yeah.
00:47:52Yeah.
00:47:53I think it was.
00:47:54He was right there for a little bit.
00:47:58All right.
00:47:59Next pair.
00:48:00These two drivers are teammates.
00:48:01Kyle Canyon going up against Axeman Larry Roach.
00:48:13Round two, we drew Axeman, drew our teammate.
00:48:16Bad deal.
00:48:17In the scheme of things, one of us goes on, so we get points.
00:48:19With Kai losing three drivers in the first round, we're hoping this really helps us close
00:48:23the gap.
00:48:24It guarantees another car moving on, so there's a positive there for us.
00:48:26And Kyle Canyon going to take the win there against Axeman.
00:48:36Wow.
00:48:37Kyle Canyon out of there.
00:48:38Looks like Axeman shoots did not come out, but he makes the turn, so that's good.
00:48:51That pass was good for us.
00:48:52It was picking the front tires up in the middle, and it was on a run.
00:48:55I think it would have been hard for anybody to outrun.
00:48:56So I'm on cloud nine right now.
00:48:57First part of the year, we had some good showings, and I think we're back.
00:48:58I mean, I really do.
00:48:59So I'm excited to see what this thing does the rest of the night.
00:49:00Hopefully, it's our night.
00:49:01Damn, I just my pants for you.
00:49:02Oh, almighty man.
00:49:03Hey, I don't know.
00:49:04You 60 foot is the out of me.
00:49:05What happened out there?
00:49:06He shoots what no put.
00:49:07He shoots didn't come out for me.
00:49:08He shoots didn't come out for me.
00:49:09He shoots didn't come out for me.
00:49:10He shoots didn't come out for me.
00:49:11He shoots didn't come out for me.
00:49:12He shoots the turn, so that's good.
00:49:13That pass was good for us.
00:49:14It was picking the front tires up in the middle, and it was on a run.
00:49:16I think it would have been hard for anybody to outrun.
00:49:17So I'm on cloud nine right now.
00:49:18Damn, I just my pants for you.
00:49:21Oh, almighty man.
00:49:22Hey, I don't know.
00:49:23You 60 foot is the out of me.
00:49:25What happened out there?
00:49:27He shoots what no put.
00:49:28He shoots didn't come out for me.
00:49:29Whew.
00:49:30And it was running so fast, the pressure didn't come over, and I stood on the brake.
00:49:33I seen it.
00:49:34And all of a sudden, the brakes got so hot, then it slid sideways.
00:49:36I seen it.
00:49:37Whew.
00:49:38All right, next pair.
00:49:39That is going to be Callie Mills going up against Daddy Dave Comstock.
00:49:43Tipped draw for round two.
00:49:48I drew Daddy Dave.
00:49:49I've raced Daddy Dave quite a bit.
00:49:51He usually beats me, but I have a lot more confidence in my car.
00:49:54My car's a lot faster now than when he's raced me in the past.
00:49:58Justin lost.
00:49:59Jim Howell lost.
00:50:00Anthony McKinney lost.
00:50:01So it is what it is.
00:50:02I'm just going to do my job, and hopefully I can continue on and carry the team, I'd say.
00:50:13The second round, we got Callie Mills.
00:50:18I raced with her dad, and I watched her dad growing up.
00:50:21Callie's watched me race as she grew up.
00:50:24It's kind of cool to actually race one of the guys' daughters.
00:50:27And she's doing really good.
00:50:28The car is really fast, so it should be a really, really good race.
00:50:43The car is good.
00:50:44That was a really, really fast pass.
00:50:45I got some awesome data from that one, so we're only going to go faster from here.
00:50:48But the bad part of it, going into the third round, there's no dugs.
00:51:07I mean, everybody's there for a reason.
00:51:17and everybody's fast, so let's get a good draw
00:51:20and go on to the next round.
00:51:21You need me to help you get out, Green Dad?
00:51:26There's a lot of stuff in there.
00:51:29Good job, baby.
00:51:30It was close.
00:51:31It was close.
00:51:32I was like, go, go, go.
00:51:33I pulled the chutes and it kind of went like this,
00:51:35and I was like, I was like, damn, she was right there.
00:51:37Good job.
00:51:38Yeah, I try to make sure that I get the chutes out
00:51:39and get it early.
00:51:40You know, like, Dad, I got to make sure I cut it off
00:51:43at the eighth mile, especially when she's smoking like she is.
00:51:45I'm like.
00:51:47How close was it?
00:51:48I think it was pretty close, half a car, probably.
00:51:50I mean, maybe half a car.
00:51:51It was good.
00:51:52As soon as I lifted, you shot by, I go,
00:51:53damn, she was right there.
00:51:55Good job.
00:51:55Yeah.
00:51:56Good luck.
00:51:59All right, next pair coming up right now.
00:52:01That's going to be Clay Cole going up against Robin Roberts.
00:52:04Robin's a fast guy, but we'll put something in this here
00:52:08computer and make it go a little faster.
00:52:09Yes, sir.
00:52:09Yes, sir.
00:52:10The car's gone perfectly straight.
00:52:11Now we can't have power.
00:52:13But we went into this deal first round with five
00:52:15of our teammates in the invitation room.
00:52:17We came back after the first round with only two left,
00:52:19me and Damon Merchant.
00:52:21So we're really going to have to pick up the slack,
00:52:23hopefully go some rounds, and really stand up for our team
00:52:26so we can get these points and a half today to help keep our lead
00:52:29and keep them from coming closer to it.
00:52:39Drew Clay Cole, guy has been really fast this year.
00:52:42He's done great.
00:52:43He's just coming in.
00:52:44But our car's flying.
00:52:46The conditions are perfect.
00:52:48The weather's perfect.
00:52:48The air is perfect.
00:52:49It's going to, it's going to, both cars are going to go really fast.
00:52:59Robin Roberts.
00:53:01Robin Roberts turns on.
00:53:16The win like that was another close race, folks.
00:53:21It was a drag race.
00:53:23He had just enough to inch me out down at the end.
00:53:25It was a drag race.
00:53:26He had just enough to inch me out down at the end.
00:53:28He got the win.
00:53:29Sucks for our team.
00:53:30We are not going to the next round to get any more points.
00:53:33But honestly, the most fun I've had all weekend.
00:53:36Right on.
00:53:39That's what we needed.
00:53:42Keep moving them around.
00:53:43Keep moving them around.
00:53:55All right, folks, next pair coming up right now.
00:54:11We got Giuseppe going up against Chuck 55.
00:54:17We drew Chuck 55, raced Chuck 55 at the last race,
00:54:21and we were able to get him.
00:54:22We got by.
00:54:23I know he's fast.
00:54:24He said he was making some fast runs.
00:54:26It's going to be a pretty tough round here for us right now.
00:54:39I don't like my draw real well.
00:54:41I drew Giuseppe.
00:54:42Seems like he's kind of been my kryptonite.
00:54:44But I do feel like I have a car that can outrun him.
00:54:46I feel like I can make more power than he can.
00:54:49If I can just be on my game, I think
00:54:50I'm going to pull this one off and get that monkey off my back.
00:54:54All right, folks, next pair coming up right now, we got Giuseppe going up against Chuck 55.
00:55:08five.
00:55:24Five.
00:55:26Yeah.
00:55:26And Giuseppe going to win that one.
00:55:28That one, both drivers driving those things down through there, folks.
00:55:37We left together.
00:55:39He jumps out there.
00:55:41Half track, I'm driving away from him.
00:55:42And my car's going to the left.
00:55:44I chop the throttle.
00:55:46He literally came up on me and clipped me right at the end.
00:55:50Next time I draw him, I'm going to chunk that piece of kryptonite at him when I go by him.
00:55:54He don't want to draw me next time, I'm telling you.
00:55:57Man, that was close.
00:55:58Oh, it was close.
00:55:59It was close.
00:56:00You had me.
00:56:01You had me.
00:56:03All right, folks, here we go.
00:56:05Seventh pair.
00:56:05That is going to be Rich Bruder going up against Kayla Morton.
00:56:12Round two, we drew the Bruder Brothers.
00:56:14And every race, they seem to get a little faster and faster.
00:56:17So we're going to be on our toes here, but we're ready.
00:56:19From a team aspect, we're not only looking out for Kai.
00:56:22We have to worry about Ryan because I think with his five drivers, he may have passed us.
00:56:26Down one for Ryan if we take out Bruder.
00:56:29We just got to keep picking him off, man.
00:56:41We got Kayla.
00:56:42She's been running good.
00:56:43A couple finals.
00:56:44Our car is fast.
00:56:45We're gaining points.
00:56:46All five of us are still in.
00:56:48Dave had four, so we got one more than them.
00:56:51Their team's running strong over there, so we're going to do what we have to do to get that win.
00:56:53And Kayla Morton will take the win there with that pass.
00:57:13Nice job.
00:57:13I definitely anticipated the light of Smidge.
00:57:25The deal is, is that they did it to Axeman last weekend, so I know he's capable.
00:57:29And it's just a cutthroat world out here, you know?
00:57:32It just is what it is.
00:57:33And if there's room in the tree to guess or anticipate, you've got to get them before they get you.
00:57:38And that's just how this world works out here.
00:57:40Good job.
00:57:43All right, folks.
00:57:44Last pair of the second round.
00:57:45That is going to be Nate Saylor going up against Damon Merchant.
00:57:50Somebody's going to have to knock off on Nate's train here.
00:57:54Second round here at Galat, we drew Nate.
00:57:55A little bit of a struggle at the first of the year.
00:57:57Figured it out.
00:57:59He's been on fire ever since.
00:58:00But we're not teammates anymore.
00:58:03He's moved on to Ryan's team.
00:58:04I've moved on to Kai's.
00:58:05And it's set up to be a good rivalry right here.
00:58:10You know, he's walking around with a couple of winds under his belt.
00:58:24He's chest out.
00:58:25And he's riding that wave right now.
00:58:27And it's going to be up to us right here to knock him off that pestle.
00:58:29David Merchant jumps the tree down and gets the win against Nate Saylor.
00:58:54Woo!
00:58:56As soon as I seen it illuminate, I let go of the button.
00:59:00He didn't have a chance after that.
00:59:03We really threw a tune at it that, you know, we thought would go and we thought would be
00:59:06fast.
00:59:07And we nailed it.
00:59:08I got to get back to cutting people's heads off up there.
00:59:10And that's exactly what I'm doing here today.
00:59:15Man, that race went like .
00:59:17I don't know if he guessed or didn't guess or either way.
00:59:21He jumped probably a car and a half out on me out of the hole.
00:59:24And there's just no making up that ground.
00:59:26Did yours act up?
00:59:27No.
00:59:28He just had like two cars out on me on the hole.
00:59:31Did it really?
00:59:32Yep.
00:59:32All right, folks.
00:59:44Here we go.
00:59:45Invitational round three drivers meeting coming at you right now.
00:59:48We started with 32 drivers.
00:59:50We are now down to eight.
00:59:52I will tell you there are two teams that still have three drivers standing.
00:59:58And that team is Daddy Dave with three drivers.
01:00:01And Team Ryan Martin, three drivers.
01:00:06Good job, boys.
01:00:07Let's go ahead and draw chips, see who's racing who here in this third round.
01:00:12It's my good luck.
01:00:13I got to go from the back.
01:00:14Oh, hello.
01:00:15Well, hi.
01:00:18All right, my number ones, please step forward.
01:00:22Oh, it's going to be Kayla Morton versus Murder Nova.
01:00:28I don't know.
01:00:28All right, number twos.
01:00:32Giuseppe versus Damon Merchant.
01:00:36Number threes.
01:00:38Robin Roberts versus Daddy Dave, which means my fourth and final pair will be Kyle Kenyon versus Ryan Martin.
01:00:50All right, y'all.
01:00:51Well, look, you know who you're racing, you know what you got to do.
01:00:54Go back to the pits, get your cars turned around, and bring them in the stage lanes.
01:00:57Let's do it.
01:01:00All right, here we go.
01:01:02Invitational round three.
01:01:05Coming at you right now.
01:01:07It's just crazy.
01:01:11Like, you look around, and there's just not one person that you want to draw.
01:01:15Team Dave is holding strong, though, with three players in.
01:01:18We're coming up in the underdog position.
01:01:20I really don't think anybody expected us to stay in the hunt.
01:01:22But we're making moves, baby.
01:01:24I feel great.
01:01:35I'm just worried about the points and a half, because that can either make you or break you.
01:01:40I've spent all season getting to where I want to be right now, and I'm number four.
01:01:45A couple bad weekends, man, I could have all that hard work taken away from me.
01:01:48So we're more focused, and we're trying to be more on top of our game right now than ever.
01:01:54Here we go.
01:01:55Invitational round three.
01:01:57Coming at you right now.
01:01:58Over in the left lane.
01:02:00That is going to be Kayla Morton going up against Murder Nova in the right lane.
01:02:18Oh, and Kayla Morton takes the win.
01:02:31Wow.
01:02:32Kayla Morton rolling here today, able to take out Murder Nova.
01:02:38Close.
01:02:38What a great drag race.
01:02:40It's close.
01:02:42Yes, Randy!
01:02:44What?
01:02:46That is such a close race.
01:02:48When I beat Sean like that, I always feel like I can go all the way, because he's just so fast, and it's always a neck-and-neck race, and, uh, yeah, I'm ready.
01:02:57Final four, baby, let's go.
01:02:59It was still a good race.
01:03:01Man, it was close.
01:03:03Dang, every time.
01:03:04Good job.
01:03:05Every time.
01:03:06Every time.
01:03:08All right, next pair, Giuseppe going up against Damon Merchant.
01:03:13All right, round three, we, uh, drew Damon Merchant.
01:03:22He's flying.
01:03:23My crew said they were watching him.
01:03:25He's making some fast runs.
01:03:26Probably one of the fastest cars here right now, they're saying.
01:03:29So it's going to be a tough round for us.
01:03:30I looked at the tune-up car, kind of was overpowering it there in the middle, so actually turned it down a little bit.
01:03:40Hopefully that pays off and we can make a better run.
01:03:44And we got to get him out, too.
01:03:45He's on Kai's team.
01:03:46They just got him.
01:03:47Got to try to take him out right now so we can make a move.
01:03:49We draw Giuseppe.
01:03:55I feel like they've got a lot of momentum on Ryan's team right now, and that's contagious.
01:04:01So you got two or three guys really running good.
01:04:04Those guys that's been struggling, they've got to get their act together.
01:04:07Those guys will help them get their act together.
01:04:09But Rogue's flying right now.
01:04:12We took out Lizzie.
01:04:13We took out a killer in Nate.
01:04:14And, you know, here we are against Giuseppe.
01:04:17So can't take anybody lightly at this point.
01:04:22The air is great.
01:04:23The track's great.
01:04:23Everybody's hauling ass.
01:04:24And them high horsepower Hemis right now are on the hunt.
01:04:28We're just going to have to, you know, knock them down to our level with this big block.
01:04:47Over in the right lane, that is going to be Giuseppe going up against Damon Merchant.
01:04:57Driving that pro-charged Camaro.
01:04:59And David Merchant will take the win there.
01:05:24Folks, these races are super close.
01:05:26Let go of the trans brake.
01:05:41Car was up, wheels up.
01:05:42Came down a little bit, and I could feel it slow down.
01:05:44He just flicked me for sure less than a foot.
01:05:47Car probably was spinning going through.
01:05:48I have to look at the data.
01:05:49But, yeah, man, he made a great run.
01:05:51We made a great run.
01:05:52Holy ****, what a rush, man.
01:05:58I mean, I ain't going to lie.
01:06:01When you got a captain like Ryan, it's got a ton of momentum right now.
01:06:05You got Nate coming over.
01:06:06It's got a ton of momentum.
01:06:08Racing, that **** is contagious.
01:06:11To pull up here third round with him, he ain't in third round because he's no slouch.
01:06:16I was worried about that one.
01:06:18It's a damn good feeling.
01:06:19Now we're back-to-back semifinals.
01:06:21We got to get it done this week, though.
01:06:23I mean, ****, that was close.
01:06:26I can tell.
01:06:27Can you tell or no?
01:06:28I mean, not until right there at the stripe.
01:06:30You just boom right there.
01:06:31I knew you was close.
01:06:33I couldn't see you.
01:06:33I was like, ****.
01:06:34Did you see me a little bit and reel me in or no?
01:06:37No, you didn't see me.
01:06:37I didn't see you either.
01:06:38Oh, ****.
01:06:39You want to see you?
01:06:40That was good.
01:06:40Good job.
01:06:42Y'all got a hot rod again, don't you?
01:06:43It would have been nice to take Damon out because he's on Team Kai right now, and that would have really helped us going into the next round.
01:06:51Good job getting it back together, dude.
01:06:53Yeah, yeah.
01:06:53You got a card.
01:06:56Next fair, we've got Robin Roberts going up against Daddy Dave Cobstock.
01:07:02Daddy Dave, it's going to be a good matchup.
01:07:05Third round, I draw Daddy Dave.
01:07:07Look, Dave's been inconsistent.
01:07:09He's not that fast, but he's taking big jumps.
01:07:13We just got to see how this goes.
01:07:21He's totally unpredictable.
01:07:22He's totally unpredictable.
01:07:43And Robin Roberts is going to get the win there with that pass.
01:07:47Nice job.
01:07:48Daddy Dave, just not enough.
01:07:52Robin didn't disappoint.
01:07:55Down through there, right before the stripe, I looked over, and he's right beside me.
01:07:59So it was one of those races that you had to look up to see the win light.
01:08:02And I'll take that loss every day of the week.
01:08:05That's the way.
01:08:07That's the way.
01:08:09Good run.
01:08:10Good run.
01:08:11This last pair coming up right now.
01:08:13Kyle Canyon going up against Ryan Martin.
01:08:18Going to be a good one, folks.
01:08:24This race has been pretty big for us so far.
01:08:27We're making headway.
01:08:28I think we're ahead right now in second place.
01:08:30I believe we're gaining ground on Kai's team.
01:08:35All of Kai's drivers are out except for Damon.
01:08:37Damon's the only one that's going on.
01:08:39You know, it's going to be tough.
01:08:40But I think when this is all said and done, if we can keep doing what we're doing,
01:08:43we're going to close the gap dramatically.
01:08:50We drew Ryan Martin.
01:08:52I'm excited about it.
01:08:53He's one of the biggest bears out here, if not the biggest, and I want this one.
01:08:58We're going to go out there and send it.
01:08:59This will be a big round for us if we can get past him.
01:09:20Have that guy some more!
01:09:23Get us some bull****!
01:09:27The chutes didn't come out.
01:09:28Hey, you okay?
01:09:29The chutes come out?
01:09:30Yeah.
01:09:32There's been a lot of people jump, a lot of people won that shouldn't have won,
01:09:35and people just taking shots at the trees.
01:09:38And he took a little stab at it, went red, we got the W.
01:09:41So I don't like to win like that, personally.
01:09:43But I don't like to lose like that either.
01:09:45So it is what it is.
01:09:46We'll take the win.
01:09:46Wow.
01:09:49Oh, ****.
01:09:53Man, you said it was going to be a good clean run.
01:09:58He gave it a little jump.
01:09:59You know, I had no intention of doing anything stupid up there.
01:10:01It wasn't enough.
01:10:02Yeah, I know.
01:10:04I went up on the chip and it stuttered there for a second and kind of got me off the door.
01:10:07It's all good.
01:10:08I'll get you a clean run one day.
01:10:10It's all good.
01:10:12I do not know what is going on with these parachutes.
01:10:16Going into the semifinals, two of the four racers are from Team Ryan Martin.
01:10:21That will guarantee that they pull into the second place position at the end of this race.
01:10:26Meanwhile, Damon Merchant has the entire Team Kai Kelly on his back.
01:10:30If he can win this, Team Kai Kelly stays in first.
01:10:34Now, we are down to four.
01:10:38Four drivers remain.
01:10:39They've been battling through this field.
01:10:42Well, let's go ahead and start it right now.
01:10:44Team Ryan Martin standing strong with two of the four drivers.
01:10:49Good job, Robin.
01:10:50Nice job, Ryan Martin and Robin Roberts.
01:10:52Also, Ryan, with this performance today, y'all are now in second place in the team standings.
01:10:58You have past Team Daddy Dave.
01:11:02So nobody wants to draw anybody at this point.
01:11:04Go ahead and embrace that, that you're going to get someone fast.
01:11:08Taking the last one?
01:11:09Yeah, I'll let y'all draw each other.
01:11:11They're all bad.
01:11:13All right.
01:11:14Team Ryan Martin, probably trying to stay away from each other.
01:11:18Where are my number ones?
01:11:21Oh, boy.
01:11:23Kayla Morton versus Ryan Martin,
01:11:25which means my second pair will be
01:11:29Damon Merchant versus Robin Roberts.
01:11:32All right, y'all.
01:11:32You know who you're racing.
01:11:34One more round and you're racing for $40,000.
01:11:37All right.
01:11:38Let's go back to the pits.
01:11:39Gets our cars turned around.
01:11:40See you in the staging lanes.
01:11:41Let's do it.
01:11:43Put your hands together for these drivers, folks.
01:11:44There's only four left.
01:11:45Welcome back for another episode of Track Snacks
01:11:56with your host, Disco Dean.
01:11:57We're here in Benson, North Carolina.
01:12:00Let's go see what type of snacks this track has to offer.
01:12:04Hello.
01:12:05So I'll do one carne asada, one ground beef, one chicken.
01:12:08No savoya.
01:12:09That's Spanish for onions.
01:12:10We don't do onions on anything.
01:12:11You hear popcorn?
01:12:15I hear popcorn.
01:12:16Hold on.
01:12:16They do a lot of barbecue down here.
01:12:18How many hot dogs do you think they sell at a regular event?
01:12:21Can't pass up a track corn dog.
01:12:23Yeah, I'm a sucker for popcorn, dude.
01:12:24That's true.
01:12:25Look at them fat kernels.
01:12:27Taco sauce in there.
01:12:28Yeah.
01:12:29Thank you very much.
01:12:30Ooh.
01:12:30They gave me a little limon.
01:12:32I don't know about this radish.
01:12:33That's in the onion family.
01:12:34That stuff's got to go.
01:12:36Mm.
01:12:36Ooh.
01:12:37That taco sauce ain't no joke.
01:12:39It's really good.
01:12:40That's going to cost me later today, boys.
01:12:43My own special batch of salted buttered corn, boys and girls.
01:12:47Popcorn and tacos.
01:12:48What a combination.
01:12:50Disco Dean, Stinky Pinky, we out.
01:12:54Invitational semifinals heading your way right now.
01:12:58Kayla Morton going up against Ryan Morton.
01:13:03Ready?
01:13:04I'm ready.
01:13:04All right.
01:13:04You ready?
01:13:05Yeah.
01:13:05Okay, good luck.
01:13:06You know, I don't really like this draw very much.
01:13:09I know you don't really like it either.
01:13:10Oh, no, hell no.
01:13:10I don't like it any more than you do.
01:13:11It's not really a good time.
01:13:12Yeah, I know.
01:13:14My fun meter's been a lot, you know, higher at other races.
01:13:16Yeah, right.
01:13:17All right, see you on the other side.
01:13:18Okay, good luck.
01:13:19Good luck to you.
01:13:20Semifinals, super tough, final four.
01:13:23No draw is a good draw, but we got Ryan Morton, and we're just going to go wax that ass.
01:13:29That's it.
01:13:30Man, forget making a final.
01:13:31Let's win a final.
01:13:33It is time.
01:13:34I haven't won one since the very first one, and no better time to win than now with his points
01:13:39and a half coming into play, and I think we're back to one of them feared cars.
01:13:43All right, so I'm winning the semifinals.
01:13:54We have, you know, slowly started to get back a handle on the car, coming off the win a
01:13:59couple of races ago at Maple Grove.
01:14:00We did lose to a guess last weekend, but, you know, haven't had that happen to us yet.
01:14:05That being said, I got Kayla.
01:14:06Kayla's known to guess a little bit.
01:14:08She didn't do it against Sean in the last run, but she might do it against me.
01:14:12I don't know.
01:14:14My team is in a good position right now.
01:14:16I don't know how close we are to, you know, to get towards that first place.
01:14:20Damon is holding strong for Kai's team, though, so there's that.
01:14:23But every time that me and Robin could advance and continue to advance, we gain more on Kai's
01:14:28team.
01:14:29So what we really need here is I need to take out Kayla.
01:14:32Robin needs to take out Damon.
01:14:33So, folks, this is the Invitational Semifinals right here.
01:14:38Winner of this race goes on to the finals to race for $40,000.
01:14:42Let's see who it'll be.
01:14:44Kayla Morton in the right lane.
01:14:45Ryan Martin in the left.
01:14:46Let's get it.
01:15:11Hey.
01:15:11Good job, Ryan.
01:15:20Good job, girl.
01:15:22Did you make an okay pass?
01:15:24Yeah.
01:15:24Just a close, clean race.
01:15:25It probably had me by, like, half a car.
01:15:27Just all the way down, you know?
01:15:29Appreciate you not guessing.
01:15:30No, no problem.
01:15:33Hey, I kind of don't like that one.
01:15:35I'm on the other end of it.
01:15:36I know.
01:15:36So I kind of get it, you know?
01:15:38I know.
01:15:39It sucks.
01:15:39Ryan Martin will go to the finals.
01:15:43Let's see who he'll face between Damon Merchant and Robin Roberts.
01:15:48We need it.
01:15:49Yep.
01:15:50We're racing like we need the ****, you know what I mean?
01:15:53We're out here to win.
01:15:55**** like friends.
01:15:55Nope.
01:15:56Robin's sitting over there with four motors in his trailer, and we've got our one.
01:16:01It's hard to pull the trigger and go, okay, this will be the run where we might ****
01:16:05end this **** thing, but if there's one thing I'd say about Robin, when he's on, he's on.
01:16:12Have a good run, man.
01:16:13Be safe.
01:16:13You too.
01:16:14Good luck, dude.
01:16:14So if he's in the semifinals, he's probably got a hot rod here this weekend.
01:16:19And like I said, he's one of those that has some momentum going into this weekend on Ryan's team.
01:16:25And it may be just one of them deals, me being the last guy on Kai's team, Ryan and them are making big moves,
01:16:31making a push into that second place, and they're coming.
01:16:33They got a lot of momentum.
01:16:34So if I've got to shut them down one by one, that's the plan for this weekend.
01:16:37All right, last pair here in the semifinals.
01:16:50The Invitational Class is going to be Robin Roberts in the left lane,
01:16:54going up against Damon Merchant in the right.
01:16:56I want him to drag his ass so bad.
01:17:07I want him to drag his ass so bad.
01:17:09I know.
01:17:26And Robin Roberts goes red.
01:17:40Yeah, baby.
01:17:41Gives the win to Damon Merchant.
01:17:44He took a shot at it.
01:17:46What you get for guessing?
01:17:55Did you win?
01:17:56Should have talked to your boy about that red light.
01:17:59No, did he go red?
01:18:00You get in his head.
01:18:01I didn't think, not on purpose.
01:18:02Hey, if he did it, he didn't do it on purpose.
01:18:06Did you go red?
01:18:09After all that, I screwed the pooch is what I did.
01:18:13Wasn't much of a race.
01:18:14I think all the talk and all the stuff that's going on, man, I just let go early.
01:18:18I don't know, flinch, let go, whatever it is.
01:18:21But we were early and it was done.
01:18:23You can't lie, dog.
01:18:25Hey, what?
01:18:25Oh, my God.
01:18:28Woo!
01:18:29They've been chattering like a little sewing circle about me guessing.
01:18:34And there's one thing I can do out here that's cut some heads off on a tree.
01:18:38They got in Robin's head.
01:18:40They told him I was guessing.
01:18:41And he anticipated it and went red.
01:18:44And that's what happens.
01:18:45So, let them guess if they think, if they can think I'm guessing all they want, but it's
01:18:52going to themselves.
01:18:52Did he go red?
01:18:53Yeah.
01:18:54What the are you at?
01:18:56What do you mean?
01:18:57Did you make it?
01:18:58Yeah, he just led me the half a car the whole way.
01:19:01Oh, you didn't make it to the finals?
01:19:02No.
01:19:02I'm sorry.
01:19:04I'll let you down.
01:19:05What the f***?
01:19:06I'll let you down.
01:19:06Well, I mean, yeah, they've been gaining points.
01:19:09He's very fast.
01:19:11I kind of needed you on that one.
01:19:12I know.
01:19:12So, your invitational finals will be Ryan Martin versus Damon Merchant for $40,000.
01:19:31Well, if you think either way, win or lose, we're still ahead, but not by much, like five
01:19:36points.
01:19:37If you win, though, we're ahead by, like, maybe 15 or 20.
01:19:40We trade over to Kai's team now.
01:19:43It's kind of a breath of fresh air for us, and it's starting to pay off.
01:19:46You know, we've taken down some big, big hitters today, starting with Lizzie and Nate, Giuseppe,
01:19:54Robin.
01:19:54Like, we have not had an easy road to get here, so I couldn't be more happy right now.
01:19:59Good luck.
01:19:59Thank you, ma'am.
01:20:00Good luck, babe.
01:20:01You got this.
01:20:02Thank you, mama.
01:20:03You got it.
01:20:04Ryan and them are making a big push, and we're doing everything we can to single-handedly hold
01:20:08them off.
01:20:09It's our night to win.
01:20:10It's his helmet goes on.
01:20:13It's business.
01:20:14People's champ versus the reigning champ.
01:20:17We've worked our ass off to get here, so I couldn't be more proud at the moment for
01:20:21my crew and the car.
01:20:23All right, come on.
01:20:25This is your invitational final.
01:20:32This will be the last race of the night.
01:20:34I'm excited to be racing in another finals, win or lose.
01:20:49Of course, that's not going to change me.
01:20:50We're still going to try to win it, try to collect us another victory for the season,
01:20:54to try to make up for how bad we did at the beginning of the season.
01:20:58And we got Damon, and Damon's car runs really good.
01:20:59I haven't got to race him this year, but you know what?
01:21:02I've been wanting to see how fast this car is, and this is the best way.
01:21:05Once again, this race is for $40,000.
01:21:09Pick one and ride with them, folks.
01:21:12I feel like I'm on top of the world right now.
01:21:42And I can't help compare it to a video game where you work your way through these stages
01:21:47up to the big boss.
01:21:49What a animal.
01:21:52Oh, my God.
01:21:53Ryan's the reigning champ, the captain of the team.
01:21:56How the you do that right there?
01:21:58I took out the whole team.
01:22:00I'd like to stay consistent on the light.
01:22:02The crew's got the car moving a little bit faster each round.
01:22:05It's a recipe for a championship, and that's what we're after.
01:22:08Hey, look, I don't know if you know or not,
01:22:10but you just won $40,000, my friend.
01:22:13Wow.
01:22:13And you pretty much put the entire Team Kai Kelly on your back.
01:22:18You are, I'm going to say you're the sole reason why Team Kai Kelly is still number one.
01:22:23And there you have it.
01:22:24Damon Merchant beats three-time champion Ryan Martin
01:22:27to win his second invitational race of the season.
01:22:30That keeps Team Kai Kelly in first and moves Team Ryan Martin into second.
01:22:35Best $2,500 I ever chipped in.
01:22:37But heading into the second-to-last race, things are extremely close at the top.
01:22:45There's only 70 points between the first and third-place teams.
01:22:50Next week.
01:22:51Alabama International Dragway.
01:22:53Y'all have packed this place.
01:22:54It's not a place to sit anywhere.
01:22:56Nice job.
01:22:57It's the second-to-last race of the year.
01:22:59Don't make me make the decision you make.
01:23:01I'm going.
01:23:02And the wheels are coming off.
01:23:05I'm going into the last two races, and I'm trying to give an option that we could possibly
01:23:09win.
01:23:12We're not ready to quit.
01:23:13We still got one more race that's double points and today's points and a half.
01:23:17It's anybody's game.
01:23:18You never told me that you was going to trade me.
01:23:20You kept telling me I'm safe.
01:23:21I'm safe, right?
01:23:21Last week.
01:23:22Right.
