00:00:01Kyle Kelly's team managed to hold on to their lead-in points.
00:00:04And David Murchin gets the win!
00:00:07Despite the fact that they all lost before the semifinals.
00:00:10Drag race right there.
00:00:11Trans out, boy.
00:00:13Is it moving?
00:00:14Yeah.
00:00:15Trans is done.
00:00:16Kyle Canyon is not going to make the call.
00:00:18And the same went for Daddy Day's team.
00:00:21Their last standing driver went out in round three.
00:00:24Hey, listen, there's nothing.
00:00:27It was Larry Larson from Team Disco
00:00:30and Damon Merchant from Team Bodie
00:00:33who raced in the finals.
00:00:36Damon Merchant wins his first finals this season!
00:00:42Wow!
00:00:50Damon's win pushed Team Bodie
00:00:52into a tie with Team Ryan Martin for third place.
00:00:55But unfortunately for Larry and Team Disco,
00:00:58they are still in dead last place.
00:01:05Here we go!
00:01:07Alright, Ohio, how are you doing this beautiful Saturday?
00:01:24I didn't see everybody clap or yell.
00:01:27So one more time, Ohio, how you doing?
00:01:29All right.
00:01:30All right.
00:01:31OH!
00:01:32All right, we'll keep doing that.
00:01:34Yeah.
00:01:39We're here in West Salem, Ohio for the first ever No Prep Kings race here at Dragway 42.
00:01:44And we're getting ready for the invitational event.
00:01:47As we get closer to the end of the season, these team captains are making decisions,
00:01:51trying to make changes, have had to position themselves to win this $200,000 championship prize.
00:01:57Hey, hey, hey.
00:01:58What was that?
00:02:01What happened?
00:02:02What's wrong?
00:02:03Why are you looking like this?
00:02:04What's up?
00:02:05Dropped the valve.
00:02:06Shut the .
00:02:08Three days in a row we ain't slept.
00:02:11That's a rough day.
00:02:12That's a rough couple days.
00:02:13That's a rough week.
00:02:15I mean, soon or not later, look, it's got to change.
00:02:18It's got to.
00:02:19Before the start of Race Your Way In, Disco Dean dropped Jerry Jensen down and picked Jerry Bird back up.
00:02:26And Bodie ended up dropping himself down and put Randy Williams in his place.
00:02:31But unfortunately, neither one of those racers were able to race their way in and be in the 32 car field today.
00:02:38With that being said, I'm willing to bet that the changes are not done yet.
00:02:42So I've been struggling with the fact of how that we've been doing.
00:02:47I say we, me, Birdman, and really anybody else that we get over here.
00:02:52But Kai has been trying to get you since race one.
00:02:59And the amount of guilt that I feel because we are completely blowing it for you.
00:03:05I'm trying to get you on Kai's team.
00:03:07I understand that.
00:03:08I can understand why Murillo might be thinking about trading Scott to Kai's team.
00:03:13Look, Kai and Scott are teammates from NOLA.
00:03:16And look, Mike wants to get Scott on a good team that has a chance to win the championship.
00:03:21You good?
00:03:22Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:03:23We're just running through maintenance.
00:03:24All right, good, good, good.
00:03:25All right, good, good, good.
00:03:26Come on.
00:03:33I heard some talks.
00:03:36Daddy Dave is fixing to probably be trading a Paige Coughlin for a Damon merchant.
00:03:40Like, they're finna make a super team and make a run at us.
00:03:42Like, we gotta, we really need five people making points.
00:03:46Knock, knock.
00:03:49What up, man?
00:03:50Hey, man.
00:03:51What you doing?
00:03:53Oh, man, just coming over to talk about a trade.
00:03:57This isn't a matter of me trying to get rid of Scott.
00:04:00This is more of a, we suck, holding him back.
00:04:04You asked me about it several times, about trading him.
00:04:07All year, I've been trying to get Scott Taylor back on my team just because, you know, he's one of the hearts of NOLA.
00:04:13So for me to trade as a team captain, I would need to trade for somebody that is faster than somebody on my team
00:04:19and who can fill a void for us right now.
00:04:22Because right now, we got four fast cars.
00:04:24We got me, Lizzie, David Gates, Clay Cole.
00:04:28Rankin's ended up earning us 30 points out of almost 800 points.
00:04:32So, uh, I love Rankin to death.
00:04:35He's a great guy, but, you know, business is business.
00:04:37If I could trade somebody that's more consistent and faster than him, that's what we need to do for our team to win this championship.
00:04:42Because, I mean, we're racing for $200,000.
00:04:44You know, I'd be interested, and if you don't, I understand, but I'd be interested in a Brandon and a Scott trade for a Clay and a, uh, Rankin.
00:04:53I think we're going to definitely keep Clay because he's probably doing better than anybody on our team right now.
00:04:59I thought Murillo would trade me Rankin for Scott, but Murillo only wants to trade for Clay Cole.
00:05:04I want to, I need to talk to the team about it.
00:05:06Okay.
00:05:07Obviously, I'd love to have Scott back on my team.
00:05:10I know, but I'm not straight trading Scott for Rankin.
00:05:13Yeah.
00:05:14Just so you know.
00:05:15So it had to be Scott for Clay?
00:05:16Or somebody equal to that.
00:05:18Because I can't completely cannibalize our team.
00:05:20You know, I was hoping to trade for Clay Cole, which I mistakenly got rid of earlier in the season.
00:05:25Clay has a little bit higher value right now because how well Clay has been doing.
00:05:30You know, I'm not going to just give Scott up for a nobody.
00:05:33Murillo says he's doing it because he wants Scott to be on a winning team.
00:05:37Well, what Murillo's trying to do is trade for somebody that's faster than Scott at the moment.
00:05:41All right.
00:05:42All right. Thanks, man.
00:05:43Thanks, brother.
00:05:44We'll see you later.
00:05:45Good luck to you guys today.
00:05:47All right. Hello, guys, captains.
00:05:49This is where you have a chance to make changes to your team.
00:05:52If you're not happy with how your season is going, now's the time.
00:05:56Dean, I know that you were one of those folks that said, you know, I'm going to wait until race 10.
00:06:00Yeah.
00:06:01And then really go 100%.
00:06:02The mid-season momentum shift.
00:06:04Yeah.
00:06:05That's what's happening right now.
00:06:06That's right.
00:06:07So now is the time to enact that plan.
00:06:08With that being said, Dean.
00:06:09Yes.
00:06:10Any changes?
00:06:11No.
00:06:12Dude, I've got so much faith in Daryl and Jerry Bird, and they have worked their asses off.
00:06:19They put everything they've got into it.
00:06:21And I'm not going to cut them off the team because I know sooner or later he's going to pull through.
00:06:24And the minute I trade him off to one of you guys is when he'll do his valiant effort and turn on five wind lights in a row.
00:06:30So we're going to keep the same team we got.
00:06:31All right.
00:06:32Sounds good.
00:06:33Mike Murillo.
00:06:34We got three guys in.
00:06:35Yeah.
00:06:36And not making any changes.
00:06:37Swanstrom.
00:06:38I'm good.
00:06:39I got all five in.
00:06:40Oh, look at you.
00:06:41Damn, again?
00:06:42Bode, any changes right now?
00:06:43No changes right now.
00:06:44We got three in.
00:06:45Same three we've been having all year.
00:06:46I guess we've been doing good with three, so.
00:06:47Okay.
00:06:48Ryan.
00:06:49Good?
00:06:50I got four out of five.
00:06:51We're in third place.
00:06:52Now, three out of eight teams, that's pretty good.
00:06:54But we want to win.
00:06:55I said last week, I said, I really need Chuck to make it in.
00:06:57And he didn't.
00:06:58You know, and I think I was in the heat of the moment.
00:06:59I said, I'm putting it in.
00:07:00I'm putting it in.
00:07:01I'm putting it in.
00:07:02I'm putting it in.
00:07:03I'm putting it in.
00:07:04I'm putting it in.
00:07:05I'm putting it in.
00:07:06And I don't know that that's not what I still do.
00:07:08We might make a change.
00:07:09We'll see.
00:07:10I have a theory.
00:07:11Okay.
00:07:12Maybe Jerry's struggling because he's on your team.
00:07:13Maybe Chuck's struggling because he's on my team.
00:07:15Yeah.
00:07:16They could both.
00:07:17Change of scenery.
00:07:18Hold on.
00:07:19Hold on.
00:07:20Let me think about it.
00:07:21No.
00:07:22Should we ask Jerry?
00:07:23I'll trade you somebody who's in the invitational today.
00:07:25Who?
00:07:26Who?
00:07:27Doc.
00:07:28Damn.
00:07:29For who?
00:07:30Jerry Bird.
00:07:31No.
00:07:32I got faith, man.
00:07:33I understand what he's saying, though.
00:07:34Wait a minute.
00:07:35You could have another guy in.
00:07:36You got him in right now.
00:07:37If you get him, he's in.
00:07:38I know, but then that's just kicking Jerry to the curb for a little bit.
00:07:39No, it ain't kicking him to the curb.
00:07:40I'm the curb?
00:07:41Can't do it.
00:07:42What if Jerry wants to go to the curb?
00:07:43Well, I would ask him.
00:07:44Well, he's not here.
00:07:45Where's he at?
00:07:46That's a good question.
00:07:47Yeah, get Jerry and Chuck up here to talk about that.
00:07:48So both Ryan and Sean are offering trades to Disco.
00:07:50Ryan is looking for a lot of money.
00:07:51He's looking for a lot of money.
00:07:52He's looking for a lot of money.
00:07:53He's looking for a lot of money.
00:07:54Well, he's not here.
00:07:55Where's he at?
00:07:56That's a good question.
00:07:57Yeah, get Jerry and Chuck up here to talk about that.
00:07:58So both Ryan and Sean are offering trades to Disco.
00:08:01Ryan is looking to trade Chuck for Jerry Byrd,
00:08:03even though neither one of those drivers are in the main event today.
00:08:06Meanwhile, Sean is looking to trade Doc for Jerry Byrd.
00:08:09Doc is in the Invitational, which would give Dean another driver in the field
00:08:13and take Sean down to four.
00:08:15I'm going to be up here in a minute.
00:08:16All right.
00:08:17All right.
00:08:18We are now at Dave.
00:08:19Any changes?
00:08:20All five in.
00:08:21I'm good.
00:08:22Damn.
00:08:23We're halfway through the season, and, you know, I still got my drivers.
00:08:27Just when you think you need to get rid of them, they pull something out of their ass,
00:08:31and they prove that they need to be on the team.
00:08:33And I think I pretty much decided I'm going to keep these guys for the rest of the year.
00:08:37You know, we're all doing good.
00:08:39All five of us are going in.
00:08:40We need to collect some points and take the lead back from Kai Kelly.
00:08:43Captain.
00:08:44Mike.
00:08:45Leading captain.
00:08:46Mike.
00:08:47Uh-oh.
00:08:48Here we go.
00:08:49I can't get rid of Clay Cole because him and Scott's...
00:08:50Then we ain't got nothing to talk about.
00:08:52Oh.
00:08:53What if I gave you a guaranteed $5,000 in ranking?
00:08:57$5,000?
00:08:58Sometimes.
00:08:59Or a $10,000 if I win the championship.
00:09:01Ooh.
00:09:02Or how much?
00:09:03What?
00:09:04$10,000 if we win the championship, or a guaranteed $5,000 today.
00:09:06God.
00:09:07There's no counter?
00:09:08It's just a no?
00:09:09He already knows what I want.
00:09:12Jerry's here.
00:09:13Uh, so what had happened was, it started with Ryan, uh, with Chuck.
00:09:18Yeah.
00:09:19And what we thought, well, what we were thinking was, you guys, you're struggling.
00:09:21Chuck's struggling a little bit.
00:09:22Sometimes if you put them on...
00:09:23A little switcheroo.
00:09:24You did a little switcheroo.
00:09:25Yeah.
00:09:26You know, it might be able to do better on a different team.
00:09:28Chuck might be able to do better on a different team.
00:09:29And he trying to hold you back over here.
00:09:30I said, I wouldn't do it without Jerry's consent.
00:09:32I'll do whatever Jerry wants to do.
00:09:34With that being set up, I gotta do something.
00:09:36You're sure?
00:09:37I gotta change that.
00:09:38Oh, T!
00:09:39Oh!
00:09:40T!
00:09:41T!
00:09:42T!
00:09:43T!
00:09:44T!
00:09:45T!
00:09:46T!
00:09:47I knew it!
00:09:48I need to do something different just to try to turn this thing around.
00:09:49I'm superstitious.
00:09:50I mean, it might work, it might not.
00:09:51But I'm superstitious, and I gotta try anything to try to turn it around.
00:09:54I then went to church.
00:09:55I put a new suit on.
00:09:57I put my old suit on, my shoes on, you know, when I was winning.
00:10:01So none of that worked.
00:10:02So I had to try something drastic.
00:10:04So I went up there, and I told Disco to trade me.
00:10:06And I did feel bad for doing it, because he picked me first.
00:10:09But right now, I'm going backwards, and I have to make a change.
00:10:14And that was it.
00:10:15If I do get my running right...
00:10:17Yeah, that's what we're all banking on here.
00:10:19I'm banking on that too, but that ain't happening yet.
00:10:22All right, there you go.
00:10:23Come on.
00:10:24Secondary trade.
00:10:25Chuck for Jerry Bird.
00:10:27You go to Team Ryan Martin.
00:10:28We traded Chuck for Jerry Bird.
00:10:30This was tough for me.
00:10:31Chuck and I have been buddies for a long time.
00:10:33Goes back almost 10 years ago now.
00:10:35He's been struggling, and maybe being on my team is not making him better.
00:10:40Jerry's got a really fast car.
00:10:42I think that they've been struggling, and the pressure that is added to them to make it in makes it worse.
00:10:47He was the number one pick for a reason.
00:10:49So I'm going to make sure that he understands.
00:10:51No pressure.
00:10:52If you don't make it in, you don't make it in.
00:10:53It's not the end of the deal.
00:10:54Hoping that it'll take pressure off him to make the right decisions.
00:10:57Jerry, Chuck, welcome to your new homes.
00:10:59Jerry Bird, how do you go from last-faced team to tied for third place?
00:11:04He's trying to win that championship.
00:11:05God.
00:11:06Well, is there any other movement that needs to happen here?
00:11:08Mike.
00:11:09Everybody done?
00:11:10Mike.
00:11:1110,000 a day.
00:11:12Ooh, 10,000.
00:11:1310,000 today.
00:11:14Don't do it.
00:11:16Listen, no.
00:11:17No.
00:11:18It sounded like Murillo's not going to go for your trade.
00:11:20I'm sorry, man.
00:11:21All right.
00:11:22That does it.
00:11:24Wow.
00:11:25You can tell the competition is heating up now when one captain offers $10,000 to another captain for a single racer.
00:11:33But now, after all that, we know who's racing for what team going into round one.
00:11:37Even though neither Jerry nor Chuck made it into the main event today, I can see why that trade made sense.
00:11:44We're in the last part of the season, and these captains are trying to set themselves up to get as many points as possible.
00:11:50Wow.
00:11:51That's probably the reason why Kai Kelly was willing to put up so much money for Scott Taylor.
00:11:57We're all our new guys.
00:11:59I made a bunch of trades.
00:12:00We're all our new guys.
00:12:03What was that all about?
00:12:04I got to do it on the end of it.
00:12:05Hey, .
00:12:07Well, Jerry, what happened?
00:12:09He's like, I got to do something different, dude.
00:12:10This ain't working.
00:12:11This 10 races in.
00:12:12I got to do something to switch it up.
00:12:13It ain't us that's been holding him back.
00:12:15I know.
00:12:16I know.
00:12:17I didn't want Jerry to leave inside.
00:12:19You know, he was my number one draft pick.
00:12:21I didn't want him to go anywhere.
00:12:23But I understand where him and his brother are.
00:12:25They've done everything to try to win.
00:12:28It's doing nothing from him leaving my team to going Ryan's.
00:12:32So now, we've got Chuck Seitzinger on the team.
00:12:34All right, folks.
00:12:35Again, there is 32 drivers.
00:12:37Every driver has to pull a chip out of the bucket, so there will be a brief pause as they get their chips.
00:12:42The matchups are set for round one, and there are a couple interesting draws.
00:12:57Kai Kelly ended up drawing his new teammate, Clay Cole, which means one of those drivers will go home only getting 10 points today.
00:13:04That's good news for the other teams, as this is a chance for them to gain ground.
00:13:09And there's also another matchup between Damon Merchant and Jim Howe.
00:13:13And there's no secret that those two guys do not like each other.
00:13:16There's been a lot of smack talk on the internet.
00:13:18Jim Howe seems to think that Damon Merchant is cheating, and he's been whining about it.
00:13:23So Damon Merchant is coming back with, he's not cheating.
00:13:26It's a typical he said, he said, they raced once back in New Hampshire, and Damon was able to get that win.
00:13:31But we'll see what happens here.
00:13:33Coming at you right here, and that is going to be Giuseppe going up against Brandon James.
00:13:40Can I lube this?
00:13:43Hey.
00:13:44So first pair, we drew Giuseppe.
00:13:48To be honest, it didn't matter who we drew.
00:13:50I knew that we had to go fast to be able to go rounds today.
00:13:52And at the end of the day, if I want to win one of these, I've got to beat everybody, so.
00:13:56You got the air on?
00:13:57No, I just checked the chutes.
00:14:00Make sure CO2 is good.
00:14:02I'm for sure, I'm tired of going out first round, to be honest.
00:14:05Everybody this year has gotten so much better that you can't make any mistakes.
00:14:09And that's all we've been doing is making mistakes.
00:14:11We've got to get the program together.
00:14:12So we're going to try to go some rounds, at least today, and get out of there where I don't have to worry about it anymore.
00:14:25Rattle out of the box, coming at you right here, over in the left lane.
00:14:27That is going to be Giuseppe.
00:14:29Giuseppe in the left lane, going up against Brandon James in the right.
00:14:42Rattle out of the right lane.
00:14:43Rattle out of the right lane.
00:14:44Coming at you right here, and that is going to be Giuseppe, going up against Brandon James.
00:15:01Oh, and Brandon James takes the win.
00:15:18Giuseppe out of the gas before the finish line.
00:15:21Brandon James gets the win and will move on to the next round.
00:15:24Hell yeah, baby!
00:15:25All right, folks.
00:15:26Here we go.
00:15:27Second pair.
00:15:28We've got Tony McKinney going up against Lizzie Musi.
00:15:32We got us all in?
00:15:33Yeah, yeah.
00:15:34You got us all in.
00:15:35We were already all in.
00:15:36Well, all right.
00:15:37So I did my job.
00:15:38You got us all in.
00:15:39I did my job for a change.
00:15:40So Lizzie has us right now.
00:15:42She's beat us four times in a race, so it's nerve wracking.
00:15:45And you know you're going up with somebody who's a real good competitor.
00:15:47You know, there was a bunch of things going through my head.
00:15:50My crew calmed me down.
00:15:51Let's see if we can't get this.
00:15:59Lizzie Musi made it to the finals of last night's Grade 8,
00:16:02but her last two passes have resulted in fireballs coming out of the hood on the big end.
00:16:07She's got a good crew behind her that supposedly fixed the problem,
00:16:10but this will be her first pass since that happened.
00:16:17And Tony McKinney will take the win.
00:16:41Lizzie Musi has to get out of the gas.
00:16:43All right, folks, next pair coming up,
00:16:45going to be Axman going up against Ryan Martin.
00:16:51Just take it right there and just tap it.
00:16:53You know what I mean?
00:16:54So it's Invitational Day in Ohio.
00:16:56Saturday, the big day.
00:16:58We got the great car back.
00:16:59That's the car that's won a lot of races for me.
00:17:01It ran good last night.
00:17:03Now it's about making good tune-up decisions for today.
00:17:06Go ahead.
00:17:08Yeah, just hit that.
00:17:10Yeah, that'll work.
00:17:12This track's going to be really good, but if we get past first round,
00:17:15I feel pretty good about the day.
00:17:16I haven't had a season win.
00:17:18So hopefully at the end of the day, I can be in the finals.
00:17:21What's up, baby?
00:17:22Come on, hop in.
00:17:23I believe every race I think about calling him out,
00:17:26because I'm like, I just want to race him,
00:17:28because eventually I may get him.
00:17:29Here you go.
00:17:30But it never works out for him.
00:17:32I drew one bad man, Ryan Martin.
00:17:35He has had it out for me.
00:17:37Like, he's beat me at every race I think I've ever been in.
00:17:40It's been rough.
00:17:42Hopefully we can make this time difference.
00:17:44I want some redemption on that.
00:17:45I want to get him back.
00:17:47Be safe, Ryan.
00:17:48See you, man. You too.
00:17:49Good luck, guys.
00:17:50So last night, the track seemed to be great.
00:17:54But I had abandoned three runs last night.
00:17:57Axeman, the car makes a move towards the wall,
00:17:59has to get out of it.
00:18:00This car is not liking this track.
00:18:19Ryan Martin takes the win.
00:18:23Green light dropped.
00:18:24We took off.
00:18:25Axeman jumped out on me just a little bit.
00:18:26It'll look like maybe he spun the tires or something.
00:18:28But honestly, mine made a perfect pass.
00:18:29We needed that first round victory.
00:18:31I'm pretty stoked.
00:18:32The data looks good.
00:18:33So, providing we don't have anything stupid happen,
00:18:35we got a pretty good race car this week.
00:18:37Hey.
00:18:38Good race with you, homie.
00:18:39I didn't see you.
00:18:40I said, thank God.
00:18:41When it shook, I said, no way.
00:18:42Yeah, that sucks.
00:18:43All right, folks.
00:18:44Next pair coming at you right now.
00:18:45We got Clay Cole going up against Kai Kelly.
00:18:48Kai, I hope you and Jeff got something good in that
00:18:51dang old computer there, because, uh...
00:18:53We got the same thing we used on you last time, bud.
00:18:55You're going to need it.
00:18:56That ain't going to work this time, boys.
00:18:57It ain't?
00:18:58You're going to have to get something faster.
00:18:59One of us has got to go on and win this thing.
00:19:01I know.
00:19:02That sucks, man.
00:19:03I mean, literally, you helped me work on my car all night,
00:19:05and then we draw each other.
00:19:06Now I got no choice but to outrun you.
00:19:08At the end of the day, though, man,
00:19:10we just need one of us to advance.
00:19:11That's all that matters, yeah.
00:19:12And one of us is.
00:19:13Yeah.
00:19:14I just hope it's me.
00:19:15Last night, we stayed up till almost daylight.
00:19:17Clay Cole ended up hitting the wall
00:19:18right after the finish line.
00:19:20And Clay Cole.
00:19:22Oh!
00:19:23Oh, clear the starting line.
00:19:25Clear the starting line.
00:19:26Clay Cole into the wall at the top end.
00:19:28But his car made a really good pass.
00:19:30We helped him rivet his front end back together,
00:19:32because his front end was just destroyed.
00:19:33It was terrible.
00:19:34It had a four-foot gaping hole in it.
00:19:36We got it back together, and now I got him.
00:19:38You know, that's one of the guys I didn't want first round.
00:19:41You know, I don't want Clay to think be awkward or anything.
00:19:43I know he's new to my team, but I always told my team
00:19:46to race me as hard as you can race me.
00:19:48Because if I can't beat you, that means I can't beat the next person.
00:19:51So if Clay goes out there and beats me today,
00:19:53that'll be ten points going to my team anyway,
00:19:55and I'm good with it.
00:20:06And Clay Cole takes the win, puts Kai Kelly on the trailer.
00:20:21Didn't see that coming.
00:20:22Clay Cole knocks off Kai Kelly in the first round.
00:20:27All right, so me and Clay put him in the beams.
00:20:29You know, we were side by side for probably 100 or 200 feet,
00:20:32and he pulled on me in the middle a little bit,
00:20:34and I started pulling on him on the big end.
00:20:38He beat me by, I don't know, inches, a fender.
00:20:41You can't really tell at 200 miles an hour,
00:20:42but it was a hell of a race, and he kicked my ass.
00:20:45I helped him put his car back together to roll up there and kick my ass.
00:20:48But it is what it is. I'm not mad about it.
00:20:51It was a good side-by-side race, and that's what I live for.
00:20:53And I got a teammate moving around too,
00:20:55so it could have been me, it could have been him.
00:20:57It's the same amount of points no matter what.
00:20:59Next pair, that's going to be Rich Bruder
00:21:01going up against Cali Mills.
00:21:03Battle of the blower cars right here.
00:21:06Ready to go.
00:21:08You got to win.
00:21:10I got Rich Bruder.
00:21:12I'm going to go up there and do my job on the tree.
00:21:15But if I get him on the tree, I don't think he can really run me down.
00:21:18I think that my car is running pretty good right now.
00:21:20Vegas was really rough for us. We didn't make it down.
00:21:22We got one good pass last night once we got the car figured out.
00:21:30I think if we can make that pass again today and I can be on the tree,
00:21:33then I think we'll be fine.
00:21:34I think we'll be fine.
00:22:04And Rich Bruder is going to turn on the wind light there.
00:22:17Like Cali Mills got loose, they're going to get out of it.
00:22:19He had his foot in the beam and Cali staged with his crew member's foot in the beam.
00:22:36I mean, normal racing, that's a...
00:22:39When two cars stage, you have one car that will light the top bulb
00:22:42and then the other car will light the top bulb.
00:22:44Then they will move into the next beam, which is the bottom bulb.
00:22:48Once four bulbs are lit, the cars will get on the limiters
00:22:51and wait for the green light to drop.
00:22:53All right, your foot was in the beam.
00:22:55You can't do that.
00:22:56She staged with your foot in the beam.
00:22:58So...
00:22:59So who's my foot in the beam?
00:23:00No, no, listen.
00:23:01I'm telling you your foot was in the beam.
00:23:02While she's...
00:23:03While her light is in there, while she's in, right?
00:23:05You got to look over there because you stepped in while she lit.
00:23:07Now she thinks the car is lit.
00:23:08She thinks it was the car.
00:23:09If you look at the tree, make sure...
00:23:10So, I mean, if they start bitching about it...
00:23:12They could have disqualified.
00:23:13You could have been disqualified.
00:23:14Actually, you were supposed to be out.
00:23:16If they want to with it, they may.
00:23:18They may disqualify you.
00:23:19I'm just letting you know.
00:23:20This isn't the first time we've had to deal with something like this.
00:23:22Last year, Robin Roberts and Sean had the same type of issue happen,
00:23:26and we ended up rerunning that race.
00:23:28And that's what we're talking about doing here as well.
00:23:30That's on y'all if y'all want to...
00:23:32That's on y'all if y'all want to do that.
00:23:34Yeah, it's all right.
00:23:35That's all up over there, I'm sure.
00:23:37That's on y'all.
00:23:38She can at least get a rerun problem.
00:23:40Pull that thing off.
00:23:41We got us undoing these bolts.
00:23:43We came back, looked at the car.
00:23:45We popped the burst panel on the blower.
00:23:47We couldn't make the rerun.
00:23:48We had the blower off, and I came back here,
00:23:50and it dropped the valve, so...
00:23:52Oh.
00:23:53More damage than fixing it in 15 minutes.
00:23:55Yeah.
00:23:56I was gonna...
00:23:57We're gonna...
00:23:58I'll take the loss.
00:23:59You won that, and then I'll still get him.
00:24:00Well, thank you, guys.
00:24:01So we're on to the second round.
00:24:03Not exactly how it'd like to have been in the second round.
00:24:05All right, be good.
00:24:06Yep.
00:24:07Yeah.
00:24:08That big-ass foot out.
00:24:09We're being close.
00:24:11All right, next pair.
00:24:13And that's gonna be Chuck 55 going up against Disco Dean.
00:24:17Hey.
00:24:18Hey, you want the lead blower?
00:24:21No?
00:24:22We're good right now.
00:24:32My home state of Ohio, Dragway 42 in West Salem.
00:24:35So today we have Chuck 55.
00:24:37He's gonna be out for some vengeance
00:24:39because we ran in Vandermeer,
00:24:40and he knocked the tires off instantly,
00:24:42and I got the wind light.
00:24:43So I know he's gonna be on his A-game,
00:24:44and my job is to turn the wind light on in mine lane
00:24:47for my home state while I'm here.
00:24:49Going into first round, we drew Dean,
00:25:00and I'm pretty excited about that.
00:25:02I owe him one,
00:25:03because I gave him an easy one there in Denver,
00:25:05basically giving the race away.
00:25:07I want to make him earn it if they're gonna win it.
00:25:19Yeah!
00:25:29Hey, hey, that motor.
00:25:31Get the wind.
00:25:32Get the wind.
00:25:33That was that brand new motor.
00:25:34Yeah.
00:25:35They just put it in like right they did.
00:25:37Brand new.
00:25:38Hey, that's all right.
00:25:39That's all right.
00:25:40That's points.
00:25:41All right, next pair are gonna be John Odle
00:25:43going up against Larry Larson.
00:25:46Okay, bring the one from the back.
00:25:49I'll get these.
00:25:50You just bring me that one from the back.
00:25:53So, first round drew Larry Larson.
00:25:55I don't think I raced him this year.
00:25:56I raced him a few times last year.
00:25:58We know that car's fast.
00:25:59We feel like the track will hold some power.
00:26:01We feel like we got to tune in to win it.
00:26:11It's been an odd year,
00:26:12because I struggled so bad the last two years,
00:26:14and now I'm in a position where I'm the only one
00:26:16that's really going any rounds on this team.
00:26:18But I'm okay with the draw.
00:26:20I'm gonna start this five race deal out today
00:26:22and see if we can go to the final like we did last week.
00:26:24All right, next pair.
00:26:26That is gonna be Robin Roberts.
00:26:28going up against Justin Swanstrom.
00:26:32So, Brian got one.
00:26:34Your turn and get one.
00:26:38All right, next pair, that is going to be Robin Roberts going up against Justin Swannstrom.
00:26:57So, Brian got one.
00:27:00Your turn to get one.
00:27:03And get the one for the team.
00:27:08Keep marching forward.
00:27:09That's right.
00:27:10Round one, I draw Justin Swannstrom.
00:27:12We've been buddies for a while.
00:27:13We're on the same team for a while.
00:27:14But they're early.
00:27:16Like, we were 0-4 against Justin.
00:27:18So, the last couple times, we've been able to even that up.
00:27:20So, hopefully, we're going to do that again today.
00:27:28Me and Robin have raced a lot of times over the years.
00:27:32Car's running good right now.
00:27:34We've had all these issues of backfiring and doing all that.
00:27:36I think we finally have a race car.
00:27:59And Robin Roberts is going to get there first.
00:28:01Turn on that wind light.
00:28:02That was a close one.
00:28:04We went out there.
00:28:05I cut a good light.
00:28:07I was out in front of him.
00:28:08Car went into a tire shake and the gear changed.
00:28:11We just missed the tune-up.
00:28:13I hate to go out first round like this.
00:28:16It's the fifth race in a row.
00:28:17We are completely sucking it up and s***, but we're going to figure it out.
00:28:21Yeah.
00:28:22Good rest, man.
00:28:23Congratulations.
00:28:24You too.
00:28:30Next pair, that's going to be B-Rad, Brad Eglin, going up against Kayla Morton.
00:28:35At this point, like, it's our opportunity to kind of capitalize on some things.
00:28:52Lizzie's out.
00:28:53Kai's out.
00:28:53This is our chance to start lessening that gap and moving ahead in the top eight.
00:28:58I would love the Kayla Day final.
00:29:00That would be awesome if we pull ahead against Kai Kelly's team.
00:29:03And that's the ultimate goal here is to win and to leave number one in this team race.
00:29:22Kayla Morton going to take the win there in a close drag race.
00:29:26B-Rad had a great pass in the left lane.
00:29:27Next pair, that is going to be Paige Coughlin going up against Bobby D'Cody.
00:29:44We got Bobby and, you know, he's been around with the series for a while.
00:29:48And I knew this was going to be a good lineup for us.
00:29:50And we really just needed to kind of put our braids together and just go out there and rip the band-aid off.
00:29:54First round is always the most stressful.
00:29:56I mean, at least it is for me.
00:29:57I get so nervous.
00:30:15Next pair, that is going to be Paige Coughlin.
00:30:18I'm going up against Bobby D'Cody.
00:30:36Hey, H. Coughlin.
00:30:41Sorry, eating something up.
00:30:42Damn, he left on her.
00:30:46I saw him when we left, and then he slowly backed in a way.
00:30:49So I'm like, all righty, all righty.
00:30:51Just keep focused, driving it straight, keep it straight.
00:30:53Don't forget your shoots, because I was driving it pretty far into the run.
00:30:57And, oh, my gosh.
00:30:58And just seeing that Kayla won the round before me, it just made it even much more better.
00:31:03Just like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
00:31:06You know, we were going out first round, we didn't get to raise our way in one event, and we can't have that.
00:31:12And we were hungry, but today we were starving.
00:31:14Yes!
00:31:15Bitches!
00:31:17That a girl.
00:31:18Oh, we needed that.
00:31:19Yeah, we did that bad.
00:31:20Good job, baby.
00:31:21Oh, thank you.
00:31:22You too.
00:31:23All right, next pair, that's Jim Howell going up against Damon Merchant.
00:31:27I think it's to the point now that he's, like, got himself from talking so much stuff on the internet, like, he's probably willing to blow that so much up to outrun us right now.
00:31:35So we're about to get, we're about to see everything that car has.
00:31:38Yeah.
00:31:39Lo and behold, after all the talking and everything, again, we matched up with Jim Howell in the driver's meeting, we ended up putting him out in Vegas.
00:31:46You know, he's just trying so hard to piggyback off of us doing so good this year to be relevant still.
00:31:53You know, we broke the car against him last week, but the bottom line is I've not had a chance to run him when we were healthy.
00:32:11And right now we're healthy, so if we can go up there and make a good lick, I think that I can finally shut the big block Chevrolet down.
00:32:18Yeah, Damon and I have had some internet rivalry going on, and he's got a different persona online than he does in practice.
00:32:23So, uh, me, I'm just me all the time.
00:32:26It's no secret that Jim Howell's made some enemies out here.
00:32:29Keela Morton doesn't particularly care for him just because of the Mega Cash Days issue.
00:32:33And then Damon Merchant really doesn't like him because Jim insists on calling him a cheater every chance he gets.
00:32:38But in racing, you don't have to be friends when you pull the starting line.
00:32:42All right, who's gonna go in first? Both drivers sitting outside the beach.
00:32:51See the driver wanting to go in.
00:32:54See, all right, Jim Howell goes in first. Here we go.
00:32:58Hell yeah! That's how you do it! That's the first round! That's what you do!
00:33:14Practice head!
00:33:16Son of a bitch!
00:33:19I wait till it was fully illuminated, let go of the button. By then, he was already out on me, and I couldn't reel him in.
00:33:25We made a hell of a fast pass, so he just threw this kitchen sink at it and got around us today, and he beat us.
00:33:31Hey, Jim!
00:33:33you beating up on my teammates!
00:33:36He had it coming.
00:33:38You know what's funny is they act like I'm the one doing all the talking.
00:33:42They're the ones that never shut the up about it.
00:33:45He heard what he said. We act like they're the ones talking .
00:33:49We just answer it. We don't talk it.
00:33:52There we go.
00:33:55Hey, I was standing up there screaming louder.
00:33:59All right, next pair coming at you. Got Nate Sailor going up against Scott Taylor.
00:34:07Nate, how you feel today? It's race day. It's great.
00:34:10You've been doing this for one year.
00:34:11I feel fantastic.
00:34:13You give him five more years, he won't say that.
00:34:16This is like do or die for us. We need to, we're already gonna start down because we only have three drivers in.
00:34:22So we're gonna actually step down from tied in third to fourth place in this because Ryan's team's got four drivers in.
00:34:28So like we need to get our together.
00:34:31Now it's just our turn to go out there and put some wins on there, rack up some points and try and climb up that list again.
00:34:37We could win there.
00:34:44I mean, I have a tune up in it that could go 380. No problem. It could go stupid fast. We're gonna try to win this round.
00:34:53And Nate's going! That look good. I'll tell you, that's the only one we got.
00:35:15Man, that's the only one we got.
00:35:21All right, next pair, and that is going to be Kyle Canyon
00:35:23going up against David Gates.
00:35:26Let's get out there and rip it today, man.
00:35:27Let's get something going.
00:35:28Let's get a win.
00:35:29As far as team points go, we're behind.
00:35:31Not a comfortable spot, but we got the cars.
00:35:33We got the team.
00:35:35This is our chance.
00:35:45Kyle took over the number one spot, and the team points.
00:35:49But it don't take but one race, and we can get that back.
00:35:53Kyle's team needs to go out first round,
00:35:55and then it gives us more chances for my team to go rounds
00:35:58and just keep racking up those 10 points.
00:36:13Oh, I think there.
00:36:15And that is going to be Kyle Canyon going up against David Gates.
00:36:34And David Gates gets there.
00:36:38Good job, guys.
00:36:39Good job, baby.
00:36:41Good job, guys.
00:36:42The win line, he'll move on to the second round.
00:36:44Let go of the button, about 330 feet.
00:36:47I've seen him out on me, and I was like, oh, girl, come on.
00:36:49Just be good to me just a little bit.
00:36:51Whenever I got about 450 feet, I started coming on with him,
00:36:54went around him, got the win line.
00:36:56That's a drag race right there, boys.
00:36:58That's a fast-ass car.
00:36:59I know it is.
00:37:00He's one of the best competitors I've
00:37:02ever raced with him for many years.
00:37:03Hey, getting that first-round win, that's always the best-round win to me to get past that first-round jitters.
00:37:13Now it's just to do my job, go out here and kill that tree, keep going rounds, get them points for Team Kyle Kelly and that 200,000, baby, because we work.
00:37:19All right, folks, next pair, that is going to be Joe, Dominator Woods, going up against Murder Nova.
00:37:28You're going to take your fellow 405 guy on, huh?
00:37:31,, damn it.
00:37:33Stop it.
00:37:34Sean?
00:37:34Stop it.
00:37:35Nice.
00:37:36What'd Dominator ever do to you?
00:37:38Stop it.
00:37:39Hey, he's beat me before first round.
00:37:42It's amazing winning the grade eights.
00:37:46I'm going into today's Invitational with confidence, you know?
00:37:49I got a fast car, it's been running good this weekend, and end up getting Dominator, you know?
00:37:55And as a friend and a teammate from the 405, I hate to draw him, you know?
00:38:01But I've got to go up there, I've got to do my job, and I've got to go rounds.
00:38:06We drew Murder Nova.
00:38:08He and I have raced together for what?
00:38:1020 years now?
00:38:12All I've got to do is my job, hopefully I've got a better tune-up in it than he does.
00:38:17You know he's out there to kick my ass, so that's what I've got to do to him.
00:38:31I'm not going to sleep until I get an invite win.
00:38:34It's amazing winning the grade eights, but I've got to get an Invitational, you know?
00:38:39I need to go five rounds, I need to win this.
00:38:42It's not even really about the money at this point.
00:38:44I mean, but absolutely, the money would go a long ways.
00:38:47It's about getting that win, getting that trophy, and the pride of being the few who've won one of these Invitational.
00:38:56All right, next fair, we've got Greg Chandler going up against Doc Love.
00:39:03We need to make sure that this car, nothing stupid happens against this race against Greg Chandler.
00:39:10I've got to have this win.
00:39:11I need those points.
00:39:12I need to go the next round.
00:39:13I got Greg Chandler.
00:39:14I took care of him last week and raced your way in.
00:39:15Nothing's a given.
00:39:16You know, all I got to do is do my job.
00:39:17The car's got to do its job.
00:39:18It's just got to go down the track, go down as fast as it's been going, and I'm pretty sure we can get it into the second round.
00:39:22Cool. Let's get this.
00:39:48So who you got first round?
00:39:50Doc.
00:39:51Doc.
00:39:52probably three times this year.
00:39:54Have you run him this year?
00:39:55I'm not running Doc any of you.
00:39:56Hey, I'm telling you, Doc's hitting a lick.
00:39:58You got to go A to B to beat him, right?
00:39:59Yes.
00:40:00You know, we're struggling.
00:40:01We're at the bottom of the list.
00:40:03We need to move it up.
00:40:04We ain't got the five races left.
00:40:06We really need to get some points on the board.
00:40:22Doc Love will take the win there.
00:40:26Nice job.
00:40:27Doc makes chicken ass, man.
00:40:28He got to get Doc credit.
00:40:29He's doing way better than me.
00:40:31We did swing for it, like I said.
00:40:34It just made it a little too hot.
00:40:36It rattled the tires, and he pulled away.
00:40:38There's nothing I can do.
00:40:39I just got outrun.
00:40:41Very, very impressed with me and my team.
00:40:43We did a good job, killer job.
00:40:45All right, folks.
00:40:46Jeff Lutz going up against Daddy Dave.
00:40:50I rolled the whole way up here.
00:40:52I put my driving jacket on.
00:40:53I don't have my pants.
00:40:54Amateurs.
00:40:55Ah!
00:40:56First round driver's meeting, I draw none other than Daddy Dave.
00:40:59And we're 16th pair.
00:41:01There's enough room in there.
00:41:02I could ride in there.
00:41:04Right here.
00:41:06When you're last and it's hot out, you get all the rubber.
00:41:09It starts getting real greasy.
00:41:11The track's not as optimum as it would be first through 10,
00:41:14you know?
00:41:15So I'm not a fan of being that late in the day.
00:41:20All right, folks.
00:41:21This will be the last pair of the Invitational first round over in the right lane.
00:41:29That is gonna be Jeff Lutz driving the Turbo GTO going up against Daddy Dave in the left lane.
00:41:38Dave driving the Pro Charge Audi.
00:41:40This is the second time we've paired up this season.
00:41:44And he kicked my ass the first time.
00:41:46And I'm actually looking for a little redemption and put him on a trailer first round.
00:41:50And Jeff Lutz takes the win there.
00:41:57Nice job, Jeff.
00:41:59Move on to the next round.
00:42:00First round for Team Daddy Dave was horrible.
00:42:01You know, I hurt my motor.
00:42:02Axeman hurt his.
00:42:03Kyle hurt his.
00:42:04So we have the two girls going into round two.
00:42:07Um, never thought I'd be standing on the shoulders of two girls.
00:42:08But these girls are devoted.
00:42:09Their teams are devoted.
00:42:10And hopefully they can go some rounds.
00:42:11Love you, buddy.
00:42:12Thank you, man.
00:42:13Race with Dave went exactly how I planned it to go.
00:42:14And, man, we whooped them and we whooped them in big fashion.
00:42:18All right.
00:42:19Round two.
00:42:20And you're just doing it.
00:42:21I'm sorry.
00:42:22I'm sorry.
00:42:23I'm sorry.
00:42:24Good luck.
00:42:25All right.
00:42:26Are you ready?
00:42:27OK.
00:42:28You know, we're in the next round.
00:42:29I don't have some rules.
00:42:30So you can get all the rest while we're going to play in our game.
00:42:33All right, we're ready to play as you guys.
00:42:36We're ready to play as you.
00:42:37And we're ready to play as you guys.
00:42:38We're ready to play as you guys.
00:42:39This is the best player, uh, two, one.
00:42:40One.
00:42:41All right, round two, here we come.
00:42:44We started the day with 32 drivers,
00:42:46and now we're down to 16.
00:42:48Both Sean and Justin Swanstrom's teams look great
00:42:51as they have four drivers moving on to the next round.
00:42:54But the biggest shock of the day is Kai Kelly and Lizzie Musi are out.
00:42:58That leaves a lot of room for other teams to catch up to number one.
00:43:01All right, folks, that'll do it for an invitational first round.
00:43:07All right, y'all, let's go ahead and draw chips.
00:43:10I have to kind of change it up a little bit.
00:43:14Good job, good job, good job, good job.
00:43:17Yeah, it's amazing, amazing.
00:43:19All right, all my drivers have their chips.
00:43:21Where are my number ones?
00:43:23It's gonna be Clay Cole versus Kayla Morton.
00:43:26Number twos.
00:43:27It's gonna be Brandon James versus Paige Coughlin.
00:43:31It's gonna be Clay Cole versus Kayla Morton.
00:43:34Number twos.
00:43:36It's gonna be Brandon James versus Paige Coughlin.
00:43:39Number threes.
00:43:41It's gonna be Tony McKinney versus Murder Nova.
00:43:46Yeah, John!
00:43:48Number four.
00:43:50John Odom versus Nate Saylor.
00:43:55Number fives.
00:43:57It's gonna be Chuck 55 versus Jeff Lutz.
00:44:01Number six.
00:44:02It's gonna be Robin Roberts versus Ryan Martin.
00:44:06Not ideal situation there for team Ryan Martin.
00:44:09All right, number seven.
00:44:11It's gonna be Cali Mills versus Doc Love.
00:44:16Are we going on green?
00:44:17I don't know yet.
00:44:18Okay.
00:44:19Okay, just let me know.
00:44:20Which means my eighth and final race will be Jim Howe versus David Gates.
00:44:24Jim Howe versus David Gates.
00:44:26You're safe, sir.
00:44:27I love you, baby.
00:44:28All right.
00:44:29Drivers.
00:44:30You know who you're racing.
00:44:31You know what you gotta do.
00:44:32Go back in the pits.
00:44:33Get your cars turned around.
00:44:34Bring them in the staging lanes.
00:44:35One of you is gonna win $40,000 here today.
00:44:38Here we go.
00:44:39Second round.
00:44:40Clay Cole going up against Kayla Morton.
00:44:41We really need pass this round.
00:44:42He's fast.
00:44:43He's very fast.
00:44:44Okay.
00:44:45Let's do it.
00:44:46I'm ready.
00:44:47I'll do it.
00:44:48Man, that thing is ugly.
00:44:49Yeah.
00:44:50It's like a little ugly girl.
00:44:51It used to be pretty.
00:44:53Clay Cole is an absolute bad guy.
00:44:55I'm ready.
00:44:56I'm ready.
00:44:57I'm ready.
00:44:58I'm ready.
00:44:59I'm ready.
00:45:00I'm ready.
00:45:01I'm ready.
00:45:02I'm ready.
00:45:03I'm ready.
00:45:04I'm ready.
00:45:05I'm ready.
00:45:06I'm ready.
00:45:07Clay Cole is an absolute badass.
00:45:08He took Kai out.
00:45:09He wrecked in the wall last night.
00:45:11Stayed up all night long and fixed his car.
00:45:13And it just made a hell of a pass.
00:45:14So not the ideal draw.
00:45:16We have to be on our game.
00:45:17Go up there.
00:45:18Cut a light.
00:45:19Give him a run.
00:45:20But in a team aspect, this is ideal.
00:45:22We have an opportunity to take a member of Kai Kelly's team out
00:45:25and close that gap.
00:45:37All right.
00:45:38So Kayla Morton does her burnout.
00:45:40Clay Cole tried to do his burnout.
00:45:42Something happened.
00:45:43Car dies.
00:45:54Round two, we draw chips.
00:45:55I get Kayla Morton.
00:45:56She's got a fast high rod.
00:45:58But I did beat her in Bantamere.
00:46:00So I've got a little bit of confidence going into this round.
00:46:02We're going to put a better tune up in it.
00:46:04Obviously, we went fast against Kai.
00:46:06We're just going to try to get faster.
00:46:07The track's getting better and better.
00:46:08So we're going to go up there and hopefully make a good solid lick.
00:46:28And Kayla Morton gets there first.
00:46:35Great drag race.
00:46:37Here we go, guys.
00:46:38Good job.
00:46:39Nice job.
00:46:40All right.
00:46:41Next pair.
00:46:42We've got Paige Coughlin going up against Brandon James.
00:46:45Oh, the sun.
00:46:48The sun.
00:46:50Oh.
00:46:51Oh.
00:46:52Every time.
00:46:53Every time.
00:46:54I'm glad I didn't get this one painted.
00:46:56So going up for round two, we draw Brandon James.
00:46:59You know, I've been watching Brandon.
00:47:00I mean, I think he's a great driver.
00:47:02He's got a nice car.
00:47:03But I think this is going to be another great lineup for us.
00:47:14We really need to turn on that wind light.
00:47:16I mean, me and Kayla, we've got to keep this momentum going.
00:47:18We're the only two left on the team.
00:47:19And we've got to carry that for sure.
00:47:26And Paige Coughlin takes the win.
00:47:46Nice job, Paige.
00:47:48That thing was moving.
00:47:53I mean, we have this car going faster and faster every lap.
00:47:57I'm proud of you, boo-boo.
00:47:59Now we have Team Daddy Dave going in with me and Kayla.
00:48:03We just need to keep doing it.
00:48:04Good job.
00:48:05Great race.
00:48:11This next pair, that is going to be Tony McKinney looking to take out Murder Nova.
00:48:15Okay.
00:48:22We ain't going to.
00:48:24Tony McKinney, he's a wild card.
00:48:30He's been killing it the last couple of races.
00:48:33There for a while, he couldn't do anything right.
00:48:36He couldn't even race his way in.
00:48:38And now he's been hauling ass here this weekend.
00:48:41You can't take somebody like that lightly because he's got nothing to lose.
00:48:44He's going to go over there and he's going to throw the biggest tune-up he has in the car.
00:48:49And we're not going to underestimate him.
00:49:01Second round, we got Murder Nova.
00:49:02Murder Nova is flying right now.
00:49:04We just got to take that win from him and go on to the next round.
00:49:07That's what I'm looking forward to right now.
00:49:08Getting through this round, then I don't have to race my way in.
00:49:11If I can get this one win, I'm locked in for next week.
00:49:14We're going to take the win there.
00:49:15He will move on to the third round.
00:49:16Nice job, Sean.
00:49:19Sean.
00:49:20We pulled up there.
00:49:21I felt like I chopped the chopper.
00:49:22I'm going to take the win there.
00:49:23He will move on to the third round.
00:49:40Nice job, Sean.
00:49:42Sean.
00:49:43We pulled up there.
00:49:47I felt like I chopped the tree down.
00:49:49We put the tune-up in it that the track would possibly take, and it took it.
00:49:54All we got to do is take one race at a time.
00:49:57Three left, you know.
00:50:00Let's go get this invitation to win.
00:50:02All right, next pair, it's going to be John Odom going up against Nate Sailor.
00:50:07Nate Sailor.
00:50:08Nate Sailor, here we go, baby.
00:50:10John.
00:50:11What's up?
00:50:12Back or no?
00:50:13Not on me, no.
00:50:14No, not on myself.
00:50:16I just took a thou off of him for Jim and Damon, so he's trying to get it back on me.
00:50:21Woo!
00:50:22Got Bodie for $1,000.
00:50:24But as you know, I don't bet on myself.
00:50:26I don't think that's good luck, so I'm not going to do that.
00:50:29So I'm just going to go out and see if we can get this W here.
00:50:33You know, I drew Nate Sailor.
00:50:34He's been kind of up and down.
00:50:36We feel like our car is faster, so we felt like that was a good draw for us.
00:50:40And we just hope that, you know, as long as I do my job and hit the tree right,
00:50:43we feel like we'll be successful on the other end.
00:50:53We literally need to go rounds.
00:50:55Our team is, like, they're just down to me.
00:50:57Daddy Dave's team had two in.
00:50:59Murder Nova's team had three or four in.
00:51:02Like, Ryan Martin's team had two, but they drew each other, so that's good for us.
00:51:07But, yeah, we need to go rounds to collect points or we're going to start falling down that ladder
00:51:11and just getting towards crunch time here.
00:51:13So I'm going to do everything I can to make sure we've gained some points for our team.
00:51:16And Nate Sailor.
00:51:17Let's go, Nate.
00:51:18Solace.
00:51:19Keep us in this, baby.
00:51:20Keep us in it, Nate.
00:51:21Let's go, yeah.
00:51:22Oh, man, this car is a bad bitch.
00:51:40Let's go, Nate.
00:51:41So let's keep us in this, baby.
00:51:43Keep us in it, Nate. Let's go, baby.
00:51:45Yeah.
00:51:46Oh, man, this cart is a bad bitch.
00:51:50I can feel her carrying the tires for 400 feet,
00:51:52setting her down.
00:51:53It just feels, like, amazing.
00:51:54You beat me by a lot.
00:51:56I think you got me on the tree pretty good.
00:51:57Good driving, man.
00:51:58That was good.
00:51:59Yeah, it was a good driving.
00:52:01All right, going to be a bye run for Jeff Lutz.
00:52:06Man.
00:52:08That worked out.
00:52:09That worked out for the best.
00:52:10I mean, yeah.
00:52:12If anybody, I mean, if anybody's going to get it,
00:52:15I want a team member to get it.
00:52:16I know.
00:52:16As soon as you said you were hurt, I'm like, oh, no.
00:52:19I draw Chuck 55.
00:52:20He's hurt.
00:52:21He blew it up in the first round, which is bittersweet for me.
00:52:24That means I'm going on to the third round.
00:52:26If you need anything, I got you.
00:52:28We got second round given to us.
00:52:30Jeffrey can swing for it.
00:52:32Let's see what it'll take, because whoever's left in the
00:52:35third round, they're going to be damn fast.
00:52:37So we've got to be on our game and ready for it.
00:52:42I'm bummed out for Chuck, because Chuck's a good racer,
00:52:45and his is fast.
00:52:46All right, Jeff Lutz on a pass.
00:52:51Looks like the front tire's in the air, unable to steer.
00:52:56The car went towards the wall.
00:52:57Yeah, it wasn't bad.
00:52:58I had the lift.
00:52:59It was going a little right, but I got enough data.
00:53:01That was good.
00:53:02Junior will be happy with that.
00:53:05On to the third round, boys.
00:53:07This next pair going to be a fast one, going to be Robin Roberts.
00:53:09Going up against Ryan Martin.
00:53:16Do good.
00:53:16Be safe.
00:53:17You too, buddy.
00:53:18Junior will be happy with that.
00:53:20On to the third round, boys.
00:53:23This next pair is going to be a fast one.
00:53:25It's going to be Robin Roberts going up against Ryan Martin.
00:53:31Do good. Be safe.
00:53:33What's up, buddy?
00:53:34Sucks. My own teammate.
00:53:35I've raced him three or four times this year.
00:53:37It's like, you know, some years you just draw the same dude a lot.
00:53:40For some reason, it's me and Robin.
00:53:42But I've got to race him,
00:53:44so now, unfortunately, I have to turn the team thing off
00:53:47and try to go out running.
00:53:51Like, we just must be the worst chip drivers on the whole planet.
00:53:54It's terrible odds that we end up together,
00:53:56but, you know, if you're going to race and race together
00:54:00in an event like this, if you keep winning,
00:54:02eventually you're going to meet each other.
00:54:09When you race someone like Ryan Martin,
00:54:11you just got to give the car everything.
00:54:13You got to do everything you can to beat him.
00:54:15He's in a car that's still a little bit,
00:54:17they're still working with it to get it right.
00:54:19The wires is pretty solid,
00:54:21so that should give us an advantage,
00:54:22but we're not taking anything lightly.
00:54:24We're going to roll with this thing.
00:54:25This next pair is going to be a fast one.
00:54:27It's going to be Robin Roberts.
00:54:28Going up against Ryan Martin.
00:54:29This next pair is going to be a fast one.
00:54:31It's going to be Robin Roberts.
00:54:32Going up against Ryan Martin.
00:54:34This next pair is going to be a fast one.
00:54:35This next pair is going to be a fast one.
00:54:36It's going to be Robin Roberts.
00:54:37Going up against Ryan Martin.
00:54:39This next pair going to be a fast one to be Robin Roberts going up against Brian Martin.
00:55:09All right, so Ryan Martin going to get the win.
00:55:19Robin Roberts, time's out.
00:55:22No, it wouldn't bump.
00:55:23Oh, that's good.
00:55:24Good for us.
00:55:25Bad for him.
00:55:26The car wouldn't roll.
00:55:28That's what it would, like, because you're bumping.
00:55:30Yeah, wouldn't roll.
00:55:31So, you know, we go to pull up, and Robin lights the bulb first.
00:55:36You know, we kind of sit there for a little bit, and he lights the first bulb.
00:55:38OK, no problem.
00:55:39So I went ahead and grabbed both of the next two bulbs, waiting for him to come in.
00:55:43And I wait, and I wait, and I wait, and he never comes in.
00:55:48His light goes red.
00:55:49I put it on the train's brake to take off.
00:55:53He does a thing where he bumps in.
00:55:56For Robin, unfortunately, the bump feature failed for him.
00:55:59So I got the automatic win, went and got the data.
00:56:02The pass was really good.
00:56:03We made a really good run.
00:56:06We knew he was fast, so we had it hopped up pretty good.
00:56:08So I'll be able to go pull this data and figure out what to do for round three.
00:56:12Why do you think I won't bump?
00:56:13I don't know.
00:56:14I think we've got to do things to remove variables, and that's not good for us.
00:56:17The bumping?
00:56:18Yeah.
00:56:19I'm not a fan of it.
00:56:20I know.
00:56:21All right, next pair.
00:56:23We've got Callie Mills going up against Doc Love.
00:56:27Calm down.
00:56:28Relax.
00:56:29We made it.
00:56:30I know.
00:56:31We made it.
00:56:32I drew Callie, who, as far as I can tell, has been struggling this weekend.
00:56:39I don't think she's made a good pass, or she has very few.
00:56:45Last time we raced Doc, he jumped, guessed the light, got it, and I couldn't catch him.
00:57:00He called me a sore loser, so in the driver's meeting I asked him, we shook hands, are we
00:57:05going on green?
00:57:06He shook my hand and said, I'll let you know.
00:57:09So I own one, a big one.
00:57:11I'm going to get him back this round, for sure.
00:57:14All right, Callie Mills going to get the win, Doc Love goes red.
00:57:42I really did not mean to go red.
00:57:44I really did not.
00:57:45You were good.
00:57:46And I did not mean to double bulb you either.
00:57:48I'm so sorry.
00:57:49No, you're good.
00:57:50I guess he went red.
00:57:52We went out there and still did the same old deal.
00:57:54Oh, well, we got the win.
00:57:55That's all that matters, right?
00:57:57Well, I got lucky one round, so now it's time for us to be good.
00:58:00We got lucky again.
00:58:01Yeah, you got lucky again.
00:58:03Last pair here of the invitational class, Jim Howell going up against David Gates.
00:58:08What do you think?
00:58:10I think the racetrack's very similar.
00:58:13I'm just going to work on the middle.
00:58:17Work on the middle and let the engine run better out back.
00:58:22Round two, I'm going to duck out of the 32.
00:58:24Jim Howell's fast.
00:58:25He got a badass program.
00:58:26A lot of people don't like him.
00:58:28He's got it figured out.
00:58:29He does really well.
00:58:30So we know we got our work cut out for us,
00:58:32but he also knows when he gets up against us,
00:58:34he's going to have a competitor that ain't got no quit in him.
00:58:36We're going to go out there and give him help.
00:58:45Out of Team Kyle Kelly, I'm the only one still standing there
00:58:47with only four of us in today.
00:58:49But at the end of the night, we got championship points
00:58:51towards that $200,000 and that trophy in our hand.
00:58:53What is it?
00:59:05What is it?
00:59:10What is it?
00:59:12We had an oil line fail.
00:59:23So, you know, how many licks does it take to get to the center
00:59:25of a Tootsie Pop?
00:59:26I don't know, but one less run than this is how many we need
00:59:29to put on these oil lines.
00:59:30The silver lining in this is, had this happened at 400 foot,
00:59:34500 foot, 600 foot down the racetrack,
00:59:37we would probably wreck the car.
00:59:39David Gates, nice pass there, gonna take the wind light.
01:00:06Hey, y'all got like a mop or something?
01:00:08Better it happened here than out in the middle of a racetrack.
01:00:11That would have been horrible down there.
01:00:13Round two is in the books,
01:00:15and that leaves eight drivers left in the competition,
01:00:19including two from Team Murder Nova
01:00:21and two from Team Daddy Daddy.
01:00:23Kayla Morton and Paige Coughlin
01:00:25are carrying the boys on their back this weekend
01:00:27and showing no signs of slowing down.
01:00:29And Ryan Martin's gray car is still in the event.
01:00:31It is anyone's race to win.
01:00:33All right, folks, so we're gonna go ahead and draw chips now.
01:00:39Yeah.
01:00:40There's a few people that do that.
01:00:42Nobody here.
01:00:43Explain to me why that makes sense.
01:00:44Why what makes sense?
01:00:45Bumping in with a blower card.
01:00:46They tried to get me to do that, and I was like, absolutely not.
01:00:48That's the worst part of having a turbo car.
01:00:50Why would you want to bump in?
01:00:51I don't know.
01:00:52I mean, I don't bump either, but he knows.
01:00:55All right, where are my number ones?
01:01:01All right, Nate Saylor versus Kayla Morton.
01:01:04Woo!
01:01:05All right, number two, step forward,
01:01:09gonna be David Gates versus Callie Mills.
01:01:12Be safe.
01:01:13David Gates versus Callie Mills.
01:01:15Second pair.
01:01:16Third pair.
01:01:18Oh, God.
01:01:19Paige Coughlin versus Murder Nova.
01:01:22Paige Coughlin versus Murder Nova.
01:01:23She said, oh, my God, this is so cool.
01:01:26Paige.
01:01:27Paige, why'd you go, why'd you go, oh, God.
01:01:30Yeah, she goes,
01:01:31I can't believe it.
01:01:32I'm racing Murder Nova.
01:01:34That's awesome, right?
01:01:35You're gonna have to work on that a little bit.
01:01:36That is awesome.
01:01:37All right, you know what?
01:01:38Sorry, folks, Paige Coughlin a little excited.
01:01:39She's racing Murder Nova right now.
01:01:40Yeah, that's cool.
01:01:42She's fangirling down here.
01:01:43Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:01:44You know, it's all good.
01:01:45All right, our fourth and final pair
01:01:47will be Jeff Lutz versus Ryan Martin.
01:01:50Drivers, you know who you're racing.
01:01:52You know what you gotta do.
01:01:53Go back in the pits, get your cars turned around,
01:01:55bring them into stage lanes.
01:01:56One of you is gonna win $40,000.
01:01:58Let's do it.
01:02:01Here we go.
01:02:02Nate Saylor going up against Kayla Morton.
01:02:06You got a hard one.
01:02:07I know.
01:02:08That car's hauling ass, and Sean's hauling ass, so.
01:02:11And I'm hauling ass.
01:02:12There we go.
01:02:13Yeah, I know.
01:02:14Yeah.
01:02:15At this point, we got one guy in.
01:02:17You got the gun, and it did really, really good.
01:02:19Oh, yeah.
01:02:20Did you see it carry the tires?
01:02:21It carried the tires.
01:02:22Left up out there.
01:02:23Car just working, and it's running good.
01:02:25So I was just hoping you can just carry us in there.
01:02:27Yeah.
01:02:28You got four big cheerleaders right now.
01:02:30I like it.
01:02:31Where's your pom-poms?
01:02:32They're right here.
01:02:34Right here.
01:02:35Right here.
01:02:36Yeah.
01:02:37Round three, we drew Kayla Morton.
01:02:39We feel pretty good about it.
01:02:40They were on the same setup we do.
01:02:42Tuner said he sped it up a little bit.
01:02:44I don't know how he could do that,
01:02:45because it was carrying the tires so damn far.
01:02:47But I got to trust in him to do that.
01:02:48He does that, and I can let go of a button.
01:02:50So we're going to put a hot tune up in the car,
01:02:52and let her eat.
01:03:02Here we go.
01:03:03First pair in the third round for the Invitational Class.
01:03:06Going to be a good one.
01:03:07Over in the left lane,
01:03:08that is going to be Nate Saylor.
01:03:10Nate Saylor in the left lane,
01:03:12going up against Kayla Morton in the right.
01:03:15Pro Charger on Pro Charger Crime.
01:03:17Coming at you right here.
01:03:22Here we go, Nate Saylor.
01:03:23Going up against Kayla Morton.
01:03:24Coming at you right here.
01:03:33Here we go, Nate Saylor.
01:03:35Going up against Kayla Morton.
01:03:37Coming at you right here.
01:03:52You're going to get the win.
01:03:53Kayla Morton crosses over into his lane.
01:03:54Damn that girl.
01:03:55That bitch is wheeling as hell.
01:03:56Yeah.
01:03:57That is getting it.
01:03:58Damn she had oil on her tires.
01:03:59She had oil on her tires.
01:04:00Damn.
01:04:01Yeah.
01:04:02It's going to blow on the burp panel out,
01:04:03and probably ate the blower.
01:04:04That's just a guess.
01:04:05It didn't like kicking rods out.
01:04:06It blew the burp panel out,
01:04:07and probably smoked a few pistons.
01:04:08We got a race car.
01:04:09Woo.
01:04:10Man, this round was bad ass.
01:04:11We knew they were fast.
01:04:12We raced them last night.
01:04:13We let go of the bus and drove it out.
01:04:15Yo, man.
01:04:16We got the bus and drove it out.
01:04:17Yeah we got the one.
01:04:18She's got the one.
01:04:19She's got the one on her tires.
01:04:20She had oil on her tires.
01:04:21She had oil on her tires.
01:04:22Yeah.
01:04:23It's going to blow the burnt panel out.
01:04:24Don't blow it off.
01:04:25The one on her tires.
01:04:26And the one on her tires.
01:04:27I'm going to blow on the burn panel out,
01:04:28and probably ate the blower.
01:04:29That's just a guess.
01:04:30It didn't like kick your rods out,
01:04:31it blew the burst panel out,
01:04:33and probably smoked a few pistons.
01:04:35We got a race car.
01:04:38them last night, let go of the button, and honest to God, never saw or heard her. I think the car
01:04:45wheelied almost the whole eighth mile from start to finish. Probably the fastest by far pass I've
01:04:50made in that car since I've owned it. My note says, run it on the edge. That was on the edge.
01:04:57I know. I leave Chase little sticky notes on his computer before passes, and that said run it on
01:05:02the edge. I think we just tipped the edge. Yeah, yeah, that was over the edge. Over the edge.
01:05:08Uh, the motor said she don't want no mo. All right, next pick. That is going to be
01:05:14Callie Mills going up against David Gates. Man, I feel great. I feel like we're going to the third
01:05:21round, and we need to get past it and get to the finals. Keep right on moving. I'm going to do my
01:05:31part as a driver. I'm going to do my best to cut a good light, drive it to the other end, get the
01:05:35wind light, get into that 40,000, and then points for Kyle Kelly since we're the last
01:05:39man standing. We're going to try to represent for him because he's toted us in times like
01:05:43this. So I feel like I'm going to try to tote the team at this time and keep going rounds
01:05:46and get that win tonight. And Adam's going to smoke a cigar, and we're going to drink a cold
01:05:49beer.
01:05:49I think if we can get the car to go straight, I think it definitely will win. I think they
01:06:01could win the whole race if it would just act right. But I don't know. We're going to see.
01:06:06I'm feeling good. You know, there's a reason why he's on this car. So why stop now?
01:06:11And Kelly Mills gets the win. Nice job, Kelly Mills. All right, next pair, that's going to be Paige
01:06:38Coughlin going up against Murder Nova.
01:06:43Who'd you draw? Murder Nova. Are you excited?
01:06:47I'm so strong. Like fangirl excited? Yes. No.
01:06:50We're going into round three. We drew Murder Nova, and I'm thinking to myself, oh my gosh.
01:06:57One of my favorite people to watch growing up on the show and named my first race car after him,
01:07:02and I don't even know if he knows that, but it's true. I had a little fangirl moment.
01:07:05So why don't you take it easy on Sean, because you're...
01:07:08No. You got man crutch on you?
01:07:11I just think it's so cool. Like, I never thought in a million years...
01:07:15Let's knock his head plumb off his shoulders. Let's do that.
01:07:18All right. Okay.
01:07:20I'm not going easy. I'm not scared. I'm going to give him a run for his money no matter what.
01:07:24No matter who wins, this is going to be so badass.
01:07:29Good? Yeah.
01:07:31Yeah? Yeah. I'm so excited.
01:07:33Round three, we go up. We drop Paige. She is fairly new to this. I know she can cut a light.
01:07:39I know that she's been racing for a long time, and she knows what she's doing. It's like everybody else out here, man.
01:07:45Good luck. Be safe. When the helmet goes on, though, it's game on.
01:07:49No doubt about it. No doubt about it.
01:07:50I'm ready to race.
01:07:51I believe we have passed Team Bodie, and we're right there with Ryan. We still have two in, me and Jeff, and Ryan only has himself in.
01:08:01So I think we're one round behind him, but if we can continue on, we're right there on his heels. It's been a good weekend for Team Murder Nova.
01:08:10We'll be right there.
01:08:40We knew that the track was cooling off. We knew that everything was getting better, and we put a pretty big dog tune-up in it.
01:08:47I focused on the light like usual. I let go of the button.
01:08:51I saw her right there with me for a little bit, and then after that, I didn't see her.
01:08:58Team Murder Nova has killed it this weekend. Me and Jeff are still in it. We have a chance at going to the finals together.
01:09:05Are you good? Are you good?
01:09:06That is so cool.
01:09:08Oh, my God. Thank you.
01:09:10You deserve it. You deserve it. Good job.
01:09:11So the two girls are the only ones advanced on the team today. Each up went to the third round where they both collected 30 points apiece for the team.
01:09:21So this event has proven to be crazy. There's a lot of hurt motors. A lot of people blowed up.
01:09:26A lot of teams have moved positions on the race to win the championship.
01:09:30Sean's moving up. He's going into the semifinals right now.
01:09:32The Kais Kelly team is completely out of it. So this event has been wild.
01:09:40Jeff Lutz going up against none other than Ryan Martin.
01:09:45Man, I've been watching Ryan's runs. He's running pretty good. So are we, though.
01:09:49All right. I'm going to get in. Love you, buddy.
01:09:51Be safe.
01:09:51Love you, too, man.
01:09:52Be careful.
01:09:53All right.
01:09:53Round three, I got my buddy Jeff Lutz. Jeff and I have raced quite a bit. We haven't raced in a while.
01:09:58His car looks like it has been running pretty well.
01:10:01But I did see him having to abort his last run because he went to the right.
01:10:05So when we made a really fast pass last night, we're going to take that tune up, and we're going to use that against Jeff.
01:10:27Hey, Jeff Lutz gets the win. Ryan Martin's.
01:10:31Damn.
01:10:32Shut up.
01:10:34Jeff Lutz.
01:10:35Damn.
01:10:36Rolling up or screwing something up.
01:10:39Wow.
01:10:40Who won?
01:10:41Lutz.
01:10:41Lutz won? He beat Ryan?
01:10:42Yeah.
01:10:43Whoa.
01:10:43Me and Jeff are still in it. All of my guys had a good weekend, and we're stoked.
01:10:48You know, we're coming on strong on this back half charge, and as long as we keep it up, we still got a shot at this thing.
01:10:56That was a drag race.
01:10:58Now we are down to four.
01:10:59Team Murder Nova still holding it down with two drivers left in the event.
01:11:04Sean himself and Jeff Lutz have been making some extremely fast passes.
01:11:08But those two are going to have their hands full as Nate Saylor and Callie Mills still remain as well.
01:11:14All right.
01:11:15Let's draw chips.
01:11:16See who's racing who.
01:11:17It's Callie.
01:11:19That, nope.
01:11:20Yeah, that one.
01:11:21Right there.
01:11:21All right, guys.
01:11:24Is there one left?
01:11:25Is it a one?
01:11:26No.
01:11:26All right.
01:11:29Where are my number ones?
01:11:32All right.
01:11:35Nate Saylor versus Jeff Lutz.
01:11:37This will be the first time.
01:11:38Which means my second pair will be Callie Mills versus Murder Nova.
01:11:46All right.
01:11:47Hey, hey.
01:11:48All we got to do now is not it up.
01:11:49The teammates stayed away from each other.
01:11:51Now all you got to do is not lose.
01:11:53That's right.
01:11:53And you've got your all-team final.
01:11:55All right, y'all.
01:11:56Go back to the pits.
01:11:57Get your cars turned around.
01:11:58Bring them to the stage lane.
01:11:59Look.
01:12:00Like I said, one of y'all is winning $40,000.
01:12:01You made it this far.
01:12:03You're doing a great job.
01:12:04Keep it up.
01:12:04Let's go.
01:12:05First pair coming at you right now.
01:12:10That is going to be Nate Saylor going up against Jeff Lutz.
01:12:13I mean, we're in the semifinals again.
01:12:17Two weekends in a row with Old Reliable.
01:12:21Insane motor we've had for 13 years.
01:12:23Oh, my God.
01:12:24Yeah.
01:12:25Yeah.
01:12:25Isn't that insane?
01:12:27So we have not run Nate yet, so this might be a good, yeah.
01:12:31I mean, I know Nate's fast.
01:12:33Sean said it a couple races ago.
01:12:34Man, we've got to get our together.
01:12:36Well, I promised him I was going to get my together, and we got our together, and so did he.
01:12:41So it seems like our whole team is just coming together nicely.
01:12:45Murder Nova's team is now in third place, which puts a lot of pressure on me to hold my team up, because if I can take Lutz out here and Callie can take out Murder Nova, that'll put us in the final, and both of those teams out, and will give us an opportunity to make another round.
01:13:12So we're going to do what we can do to do that.
01:13:14We're going to do what we can do to do that.
01:13:14All right, so we're here in Kai Kelly's dojo, his toter home.
01:13:32This is Kai Kelly's beautiful mother.
01:13:34I'm her favorite driver, you can ask her, and Grammy's, I'm her favorite driver, too, ain't I?
01:13:40So what we're doing here, I owe Kai Kelly some money.
01:13:42It's late in the day.
01:13:43It's already 1 o'clock, and I'm trying to pay Kai, so we're going to call Kai from his mom's phone to see if he answers.
01:13:51Because he's been avoiding some people this morning.
01:13:55Does he need to sleep in?
01:13:56Did he get drunk last night?
01:13:58Oh, he worked on Clay Cole's car, that's why he's tired.
01:14:02Watch out.
01:14:03Here he comes.
01:14:03Uh-huh.
01:14:05What did he say?
01:14:06Ah, he got to put some concealer on.
01:14:09That's why you wouldn't answer the phone.
01:14:11He better put concealer on.
01:14:13He's a little, uh, scared for us.
01:14:14All right, so we got him.
01:14:17We got him up.
01:14:18We got him up.
01:14:20Now we can square up our finances.
01:14:23Hey.
01:14:25First pair coming at you right now is going to be Nate Saylor going up against Jeff West.
01:14:44Man, we are into the finals on the Invitational here in Ohio.
01:15:05Uh, we're jacked, man.
01:15:07We've worked our asses off for this.
01:15:08Good race, brother.
01:15:09Now I know where we're at.
01:15:11Get that go straight.
01:15:13I put five pounds in the nose that time because it was wheeling the whole track,
01:15:17and I was like, oh, I'm going to tame that down.
01:15:19I think that was a mistake.
01:15:20Yeah, I had to, I had to board again.
01:15:23Good race, brother.
01:15:29You can do whatever you want, but I'm going to probably tell you what you need to do against Sean.
01:15:33What?
01:15:34He's not going to hold out.
01:15:35He wants to go in first.
01:15:37Every race he wants to go in first.
01:15:38Okay.
01:15:39But for me, I go in last.
01:15:40It doesn't bother me.
01:15:41Yeah.
01:15:42But I do know that you like to go in first, so both of y'all are going to be racing to see who can get into the balls first.
01:15:47It's going to be two races.
01:15:48Yeah.
01:15:48He's, be prepared for him to go in quick.
01:15:51Be prepared for him to do the same you're about to do.
01:15:53You're about to double ball.
01:15:54Okay.
01:15:54I think y'all are going to double ball each other, and I just don't want you or him to get caught on both of them.
01:16:00Murder Nova's definitely stepped up his game.
01:16:02He won two of the grade eights, including last night's grade eight.
01:16:04So I know that I'm definitely going to have to be on my eight game, for sure.
01:16:08Right lane's a little rough, so I'm happy that you're in the left lane.
01:16:11I've been in left lane all day.
01:16:12Nobody has went down the right lane yet.
01:16:14You get out there, probably around the 330, I just want to say, try to cut a light, get out there in front, and just stay out there.
01:16:18Because everybody in the right lane, about 330, the car's just washing out.
01:16:22Yeah.
01:16:22Callie is very, very intelligent.
01:16:25She's very capable of being able to beat anybody out here on the property.
01:16:28She says she's comfortable the way she's got it going on, so I said, go ahead and rock out with it.
01:16:31Let's see what happens.
01:16:32I hope she pulls off the win and she can go on to the finals.
01:16:43Callie Mills, I raced her one other time this season.
01:16:45She got me.
01:16:46It was a really close race, and I owe her one.
01:16:49This is my time.
01:16:50My car's running good right now.
01:16:52I'm going to put a tune-up in it that I think it's going to take to outrun her.
01:16:56We're going to go out there, we're going to let off the button, and we're going to see if it takes it.
01:17:14And Murder Nova gets the win.
01:17:17That was a race.
01:17:20Hey, that was a race.
01:17:22Damn.
01:17:23She's the quickest to go in that I've had in the past two days.
01:17:29My car kind of got out of shape just a little bit, started driving towards the wall.
01:17:33I was going to ride it to the wall before I lift it.
01:17:36I puckered up a little bit.
01:17:38I, you know, and I thought we was going to scrape the wall just a little bit.
01:17:42At the finish line, it was so close, I wasn't sure who was going to get the win like.
01:17:46Good job, buddy.
01:17:47It was so close.
01:17:48Congratulations.
01:17:48I know, I'm so proud of you.
01:17:49It was so close.
01:17:50But I wanted to say, I'm proud of you.
01:17:52You guys are killing it out there.
01:17:54You never gave up through all the years.
01:17:56I'm tired of beating my head against the wall.
01:17:58I know.
01:18:05Ready, homie?
01:18:05Yeah, brother.
01:18:08You know what's badass?
01:18:09I'm racing for Nova in the finals at the end of the weekend.
01:18:14That would be cool when being in the finals, man.
01:18:16I just, it's surreal for me.
01:18:17Look, I'm probably going to cry either way after the race.
01:18:19You might cry, too.
01:18:21Maybe we can cry together.
01:18:22Yeah, when I give you a hug at the other end, there'll be tears flowing, I promise.
01:18:25No matter what happens.
01:18:26I know.
01:18:27It's me and Nate, Sailor in the finals, and, you know, he's got the same combination as me.
01:18:32I know what the thing's capable of.
01:18:33I raced him twice last weekend.
01:18:35I won one, and he won one.
01:18:37And it was two very close races.
01:18:39So, at this point, man, whoever gets more aggressive with the tune-up is going to take this win.
01:18:44I feel something weird in my back.
01:18:47There you go.
01:18:49It don't matter who's in the other lane, really.
01:18:50We're racing the racetrack.
01:18:51I'm going to put as much power in it that the racetrack can handle.
01:18:54Sean's on a roll right now, and he's got that momentum.
01:18:57I plan on taking the wind out of his sail right quick.
01:19:03Nate is really smart.
01:19:08I'm sure he's got to tune up.
01:19:09He's been rounds already.
01:19:10He's got to tune up and go real fast.
01:19:11Because right now is the time when you want your real fast tune-up.
01:19:14Let it all hang right now.
01:19:16Break your motor.
01:19:17You hurt anything.
01:19:18You've got a whole week to fix it.
01:19:19So, I feel like today is his day.
01:19:21All right, folks, here we go.
01:19:26Invitational finals for $40,000.
01:19:30Battle of the Pro Chargers over in the left lane.
01:19:34That is going to be Nate Saylor going up against Verner Nova.
01:19:39Verner Nova looking to make it two in two days.
01:19:43He won the grade-8 half night, looking to win his very first invitational right here in Ohio.
01:19:50Yo, this is going to be a grand race.
01:19:54$40,000 to win this thing, you know, that goes a long way.
01:19:58And that will help out tremendously.
01:20:00But honestly, man, it ain't about that.
01:20:02I said I wasn't going to sleep until I win an invitational, and I'm not going to.
01:20:07I think I'm going to take the win.
01:20:20And Nate Saylor wins it all.
01:20:31Wow, what a drag race.
01:20:34It made a good trip.
01:20:36It made a good trip.
01:20:37Yeah, baby!
01:20:39Yes, yes!
01:20:40Two in a row, baby!
01:20:42Yeah!
01:20:43Booyah!
01:20:44Let's go!
01:20:45That's big right there!
01:20:47Woo!
01:20:49Oh, brother!
01:20:50It was a drag race.
01:20:52Oh, I know.
01:20:54Let go of the button.
01:20:55I can hear him over there.
01:20:57And we get to the finish line, and my car actually quits.
01:21:01It dies and noses over, and I saw my win light come on, and I about crapped my pants.
01:21:08Oh, my God!
01:21:09It's crazy to come here and win this event is, I can't even put it into words.
01:21:17It's amazing.
01:21:19I'm super grateful.
01:21:22It's crazy to think that I was sitting on my couch watching all this happen, and now we're here doing it and making history for my family.
01:21:28Hey!
01:21:31I knew it was your night, dude.
01:21:33I knew it was your night.
01:21:34Being that Nate was my number one pick, a lot of people didn't understand why.
01:21:38He wasn't a familiar face.
01:21:40A lot of people didn't know who he was, but I know Nate, man.
01:21:42He's one of my West Coast guys, and he'd get the job done, man.
01:21:46He worked so hard, and him and Damon's been carrying the team, man, and I knew it.
01:21:51He was a diamond in the rough.
01:21:52A lot of people didn't understand who he was, but like I said, after this season, everybody's going to know who he is.
01:21:56Put your hands together for Nate Sayles!
01:22:02Coming in here and winning out in the grade eight, and then coming to the finals of the game,
01:22:08my first Invitational ever.
01:22:10Nice job, baby.
01:22:11Nice job, baby.
01:22:12Good job.
01:22:13I couldn't ask for a better weekend.
01:22:16It was a big night for Team Bodie and Team Murder Nova.
01:22:19They both had drivers go far enough to the event that they passed Ryan Martin's team in points.
01:22:25Team Kai and Team Dave still lead the pack, and it's now more evident than ever that it is anyone's championship to win.
01:22:32Oh, we did it, man.
01:22:36We did it, man.
01:22:36We did it, man.
01:22:38Yeah, man.
01:22:39I knew this was your day, Nate.
01:22:43Next time on No Prep Kings.
01:22:45After dropping in the rankings.
01:22:47We dropped to number five this week, but we're ten points behind the other three that are in front of us.
01:22:52Team Ryan Martin is trying to find a way to claw their way back up.
01:22:56The car's running fantastic, just the way it should be.
01:23:00If you go up there and you're not ready to do your job flawlessly, you're going to lose.
01:23:05And with five events left, everyone is scrambling to get as many points as they can.
01:23:10It could be my sister, and I'd still want to chop her head off.
01:23:13So they can take home the $200,000 championship.
01:23:16We're running out of time, we're feeling the pressure to start doing well, and I really need to set my game up here.
