00:00:00Damon Merchant gets the win!
00:00:02Despite the fact that they all lost before the semifinals.
00:00:05Drag race right there.
00:00:07Trans out.
00:00:08Is it moving?
00:00:09Yeah.
00:00:10Trans is done.
00:00:11Kyle Canyon is not going to make the call.
00:00:13And the same went for Daddy Day's team.
00:00:16Their last standing driver went out in round three.
00:00:19I can't listen.
00:00:21There's nothing.
00:00:22It was Larry Larson from Team Disco and Damon Merchant from Team Body
00:00:28who raced in the finals.
00:00:32Damon Merchant wins his first finals this season.
00:00:38Wow!
00:00:45Damon's win pushed Team Body into a tie with Team Ryan Martin for third place.
00:00:51But unfortunately for Larry and Team Disco, they are still in dead last place.
00:00:58Here we go!
00:01:01Alright. Ohio, how are you doing this beautiful Saturday?
00:01:17I didn't see everybody clap or yell. So one more time. Ohio, how are you doing?
00:01:24Nice!
00:01:26OH!
00:01:27Alright, we'll keep doing that.
00:01:29Yeah!
00:01:34We're here in West Salem, Ohio for the first ever No Prep Kings race here at Dragway 42.
00:01:40And we're getting ready for the invitational event.
00:01:42As we get closer to the end of the season, these team captains are making decisions, trying to make changes,
00:01:47and how to position themselves to win this $200,000 championship prize.
00:01:51Hey, hey, hey! What was that?
00:01:54What happened? What's wrong?
00:01:57Why are you looking like this? What's up?
00:01:59Dropped the valve.
00:02:01Shut the .
00:02:02Three days in a row we ain't slept.
00:02:05That's a rough day. That's a rough couple days.
00:02:08That's a rough week.
00:02:09I mean, soon or not later, luck's got to change.
00:02:12It's got to.
00:02:13Before the start of Race Your Way In, Disco Dean dropped Jerry Jensen down and picked Jerry Bird back up.
00:02:20And Bodie ended up dropping himself down and put Randy Williams in his place.
00:02:26But, unfortunately, neither one of those racers were able to race their way in and be in the 32 car field today.
00:02:32With that being said, I'm willing to bet that the changes are not done yet.
00:02:37So, I've been struggling with the fact of how **** that we've been doing.
00:02:42I say we, me, Birdman, and really anybody else that we get over here, but...
00:02:47Kai has been trying to get you since race one.
00:02:53And the amount of guilt that I feel because we are **** completely blowing it for you.
00:02:59I'm trying to get you on Kai's team.
00:03:02I understand that.
00:03:04I can understand why Murillo might be thinking about trading Scott to Kai's team.
00:03:09Look, Kai and Scott are teammates from NOLA.
00:03:11And look, Mike wants to get Scott on a good team that has a chance to win the championship.
00:03:16You good?
00:03:17Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're just running through maintenance.
00:03:19All right, good, good, good.
00:03:20All right, good, good, good.
00:03:28I heard some talks.
00:03:31Daddy Dave's fixing to probably be trading a Paige Coughlin for a Damon Merchant.
00:03:35Like, they're finna make a super team and make a run at us.
00:03:37Like, we gotta, we really need five people making points.
00:03:41Knock, knock!
00:03:43Yeah.
00:03:44What up, man?
00:03:46Hey, man.
00:03:47What you doing?
00:03:48Oh, man, just coming over to talk about a trade.
00:03:53This isn't a matter of me trying to get rid of Scott.
00:03:55This is more of a, we suck, holding him back.
00:04:00You asked me about it several times, about trading him.
00:04:03All 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.
00:04:08So, for me to trade as a team captain, I would need to trade for somebody that is faster than somebody on my team and who can fill a void for us right now.
00:04:17Because right now, we got four fast cars.
00:04:19We got me, Lizzie, David Gates, Clay Cole.
00:04:22Rankin's ended up earning us 30 points out of almost 800 points.
00:04:27So, uh, I love Rankin to death.
00:04:30He's a great guy, but, you know, business is business.
00:04:32If 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.
00:04:37Because, I mean, we're racing for $200,000.
00:04:39You 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.
00:04:48I think we're going to definitely keep Clay because he's probably doing better than anybody on our team right now.
00:04:54I thought Murillo would trade me Rankin for Scott, but Murillo only wants to trade for Clay Cole.
00:04:59I wanted, I need to talk to the team about it.
00:05:01Okay.
00:05:02Obviously, I'd love to have Scott back on my team.
00:05:05I know, but I'm not straight trading Scott for Rankin.
00:05:08Yeah.
00:05:09Just so you know.
00:05:10So it had to be Scott for Clay?
00:05:11Or somebody equal to that.
00:05:13Because I can't completely cannibalize our team.
00:05:15You know, I was hoping to trade for Clay Cole, which I mistakenly got rid of earlier in the season.
00:05:20Clay has a little bit higher value right now because how well Clay has been doing.
00:05:25You know, I'm not going to just give Scott up for a nobody.
00:05:28Murillo says he's doing it because he wants Scott to be on a winning team.
00:05:32Well, what Murillo's trying to do is trade for somebody that's faster than Scott at the moment.
00:05:36All right.
00:05:37All right. Thanks, man.
00:05:38Thanks, brother.
00:05:39We'll see you later.
00:05:40Good luck to you guys today.
00:05:42All right. Hello, guys. Captains.
00:05:45This is where you have a chance to make changes to your team.
00:05:48If you're not happy with how your season is going, now's the time.
00:05:51Dean, I know that you were one of those folks that said, you know, I'm going to wait until race 10.
00:05:55Yeah.
00:05:56And then really go 100%.
00:05:58The mid-season momentum shift.
00:05:59Yeah.
00:06:00That's what's happening right now.
00:06:01That's right. So now is the time to enact that plan.
00:06:03With that being said, Dean.
00:06:04Yes.
00:06:05Any changes?
00:06:06No.
00:06:07Dude, I've got so much faith in Daryl and Jerry Bird, and they have worked their asses off.
00:06:14They put everything they've got into it.
00:06:16And I'm not going to cut them off the team because I know sooner or later he's going to pull through.
00:06:19And 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.
00:06:25So we're going to keep the same team we got.
00:06:26All right. Sounds good.
00:06:27Mike.
00:06:28Murillo.
00:06:29We got three guys in.
00:06:30Yeah.
00:06:31And not making any changes.
00:06:32Swanstrom.
00:06:33I'm good.
00:06:34I got all five in.
00:06:35I'm going to stay.
00:06:36I got all five in.
00:06:37Yeah.
00:06:38Sean.
00:06:39Yeah, I'm good. I got all five in.
00:06:40Oh, look at you.
00:06:41Damn, again?
00:06:42Bodie, 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.
00:06:47I guess we've been doing good with three, so.
00:06:49Okay.
00:06:50Ryan.
00:06:51Good?
00:06:52I got four out of five.
00:06:54We're in third place.
00:06:56Now, three out of eight teams, that's pretty good.
00:06:58But we want to win.
00:06:59I said last week, I said, I really need Chuck to make it in.
00:07:02And he didn't, you know, and I think I was in the heat of the moment.
00:07:04And I said, I'm putting him on the chopping block.
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.
00:07:14Maybe Chuck's struggling because he's on my team.
00:07:16Yeah.
00:07:17If we swap, they could both.
00:07:18Change the scenery.
00:07:19Hold on, hold 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.
00:07:26Who?
00:07:27Who?
00:07:28Doc.
00:07:29Damn.
00:07:30For who?
00:07:31I got faith, man.
00:07:32Damn.
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.
00:07:38Ten points.
00:07:39I know, but then that's just kicking Jerry to the curb for a little bit.
00:07:40No, it ain't kicking him to the curb.
00:07:42I'm the curb?
00:07:43Can't do it.
00:07:46What if Jerry wants to go to the curb?
00:07:48Well, I would ask him.
00:07:49Well, he's not here.
00:07:50Where's he at?
00:07:51That's a good question.
00:07:52Yeah, get Jerry and Chuck up here to talk about that.
00:07:54Both Ryan and Sean are offering trades to Disco.
00:07:56Ryan is looking to trade Chuck for Jerry Byrd, even though neither one of those drivers are
00:08:00in the main event today.
00:08:01Meanwhile, Sean is looking to trade Doc for Jerry Byrd.
00:08:04Doc is in the invitational, which would give Dean another driver in the field and take Sean
00:08:09down to four.
00:08:10I'm gonna be up there in a minute.
00:08:11All right.
00:08:12What are we doing?
00:08:13All right.
00:08:14We are now at Dave.
00:08:15Any changes?
00:08:16All five in.
00:08:17I'm good.
00:08:18Damn.
00:08:19Damn.
00:08:20You know, I still got my drivers.
00:08:21Just when you think you need to get rid of them, they pull something out of their ass,
00:08:25and they prove that they need to be on the team.
00:08:28And I think I pretty much decided I'm gonna keep these guys for the rest of the year.
00:08:32You know, we're all doing good.
00:08:34All five of us are going in.
00:08:35We need to collect some points and take the lead back from Kai Kelly.
00:08:38Captain.
00:08:39Mike.
00:08:40Leading captain.
00:08:41Mike.
00:08:42Uh-oh.
00:08:43Here it is.
00:08:44Oh, here we go.
00:08:45I can't get rid of Clay Cole, because him and Scott's...
00:08:46Then we ain't got nothing to talk about.
00:08:47Oh.
00:08:48What if I gave you a guaranteed $5,000 in ranking?
00:08:52$5,000?
00:08:53Sometimes.
00:08:54Or a $10,000 if I win a championship.
00:08:56Ooh.
00:08:57Or how much?
00:08:58What?
00:08:59$10,000 if we win a championship, or a guaranteed $5,000 today.
00:09:01God.
00:09:02There's no counter?
00:09:03It's just a no?
00:09:04He already knows what I want.
00:09:07Jerry's here.
00:09:08Uh, so what had happened was, it started with Ryan, uh, with Chuck.
00:09:13Yeah.
00:09:14And what we thought, well, what we were thinking was, you guys, you're struggling.
00:09:16Chuck's struggling a little bit.
00:09:17A little switcheroo.
00:09:18Sometimes if you put him on...
00:09:19A little switcheroo.
00:09:20Yeah.
00:09:21You did a little switcheroo, you know?
00:09:22He might be able to do better on a different team.
00:09:23Chuck might be able to do better on a different team.
00:09:24And he trying to hold you back over here.
00:09:25I said I wouldn't do it without Jerry's consent.
00:09:27I'll do whatever Jerry wants to do.
00:09:29With that being set up, I gotta do something.
00:09:31You're sure?
00:09:32I gotta change that.
00:09:33Oh, Z!
00:09:34Oh!
00:09:35You made it!
00:09:36You made it!
00:09:37You made it!
00:09:38I knew it!
00:09:39I need to do something different just to try to turn this thing around.
00:09:42I'm superstitious.
00:09:43I mean, it might work.
00:09:44It might not.
00:09:45But I'm superstitious.
00:09:46And I gotta try anything to try to turn it around.
00:09:49I then went to church.
00:09:50I put a new suit on.
00:09:52I put my old suit on, my shoes on, you know, when I was winning.
00:09:56So none of that worked.
00:09:57So I had to try something drastic.
00:09:59So I went up there and I told Disco to trade me.
00:10:02I did feel bad for doing it because he picked me first.
00:10:04But right now, I'm going backwards and I have to make a change.
00:10:09And that was it.
00:10:10If I do get my running right.
00:10:12Yeah.
00:10:13That's what we're all banking on.
00:10:14You know, I'm banking on that too, but that ain't happening yet.
00:10:17All right.
00:10:18There you go.
00:10:19Come on.
00:10:20Secondary trade.
00:10:21Chuck for Jerry Bird.
00:10:22You're going to Team Ryan, Martin.
00:10:24We traded Chuck for Jerry Bird.
00:10:26This was tough for me.
00:10:27Chuck and I have been buddies for a long time.
00:10:29Goes back almost 10 years ago now.
00:10:31I'm struggling and maybe being on my team is not making him better.
00:10:35Jerry's got a really fast car.
00:10:37I think that they've been struggling and the pressure that is added to them to make it in makes it worse.
00:10:42He was the number one pick for a reason.
00:10:44So I'm going to make sure that he understands.
00:10:46No pressure.
00:10:47If you don't make it in, you don't make it in.
00:10:48It's not the end of the deal.
00:10:49Hoping that it'll take pressure off him to make the right decisions.
00:10:52Jerry, Chuck, welcome to your new home.
00:10:54Jerry Bird, how do you go from last base team to tie for third place?
00:10:59He trying to win that championship.
00:11:00God.
00:11:01Well, is there any other movement that needs to happen here?
00:11:04Mike.
00:11:05Everybody done?
00:11:06Mike.
00:11:0710,000 a day.
00:11:08Ooh, 10,000.
00:11:0910,000 today.
00:11:10Don't do it.
00:11:11Listen, no.
00:11:12No.
00:11:13It sounds like Murillo is not going to go for your trade.
00:11:15I'm sorry, man.
00:11:16All right.
00:11:17I dug it.
00:11:19Wow.
00:11:20You can tell the competition is heating up now when one captain offers $10,000 to another
00:11:26captain for a single racer.
00:11:28But now, after all that, we know who's racing for what team going into round one.
00:11:32Even though neither Jerry nor Chuck made it into the main event today, I can see why that
00:11:37trade made sense.
00:11:38We're in the last part of the season, and these captains are trying to set themselves
00:11:42up to get as many points as possible.
00:11:45Wow.
00:11:46That's probably the reason why Kai Kelly was willing to put up so much money for Scott
00:11:50Taylor.
00:11:51We're all our new guys.
00:11:54I made a bunch of trades.
00:11:55We're all our new guys.
00:11:56What was that all about?
00:11:59I got to do it on the end of it.
00:12:00Hey, me.
00:12:01Well, Jerry, what about that?
00:12:04He's like, I got to do something different, dude.
00:12:05This ain't working.
00:12:06It's 10 races in.
00:12:07I got to do something to switch it up.
00:12:08It ain't us that's been holding him back.
00:12:10I know.
00:12:11I didn't want Jerry to leave inside.
00:12:14He was my number one draft pick.
00:12:16I didn't want him to go anywhere.
00:12:18But I understand where him and his brother are.
00:12:20They've done everything to try to win.
00:12:23It's doing nothing from him leaving my team to going Ryan's.
00:12:27So now we've got Chuck Seitzinger on the team.
00:12:29All right, folks.
00:12:30Again, there is 32 drivers.
00:12:32Every driver has to pull a chip out of the bucket.
00:12:34So there will be a brief pause as they get their chips.
00:12:37The matchups are set for round one, and there are a couple interesting draws.
00:12:51Kai Kelly ended up drawing his new teammate Clay Cole, which means one of those drivers
00:12:56will go home only getting 10 points today.
00:12:59That's good news for the other teams, as this is a chance for them to gain ground.
00:13:04And there's also another matchup between Damon Merchant and Jim Howe.
00:13:08And there's no secret that those two guys do not like each other.
00:13:11There's been a lot of smack talk on the internet.
00:13:13Jim Howe seems to think that Damon Merchant is cheating, and he's been whining about it.
00:13:18So Damon Merchant is coming back with, he's not cheating.
00:13:21It's a typical he said, he said.
00:13:23They raced once back in New Hampshire, and Damon was able to get that win.
00:13:27But we'll see what happens here.
00:13:30Coming at you right here, and that is going to be Giuseppe going up against Brandon James.
00:13:37Can I lube this?
00:13:40So the first pair we drew Giuseppe.
00:13:43To be honest, it didn't matter who we drew.
00:13:45I knew that we had to go fast to be able to go rounds today.
00:13:47And at the end of the day, if I want to win one of these, I've got to beat everybody, so.
00:13:51You got the air on?
00:13:52No, I just checked the chutes.
00:13:55Make sure CO2 is good.
00:13:57I'm for sure.
00:13:58I'm tired of going out first round, to be honest.
00:14:00Everybody this year has gotten so much better that you can't make any mistakes.
00:14:04And that's all we've been doing is making mistakes.
00:14:06We've got to get the program together.
00:14:07So 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.
00:14:17We're out of the box coming at you right here over in the left lane.
00:14:22That is going to be Giuseppe.
00:14:24Giuseppe in the left lane going up against Brandon James in the right.
00:14:29Okay, let's go around.
00:14:30No, no no no, no no.
00:14:31No, no no no no no no.
00:14:39I'm in the right lane.
00:14:51You're out of there.
00:14:51I'm in the right lane.
00:14:52You're coming right here.
00:14:53That is going to be Giuseppe going up against Brandon James.
00:14:54What?
00:14:55What?
00:14:56oh and brandon james takes the win giuseppe out of the gas before the finish line brandon james

00:15:41going up to somebody who's a real good competitor you know there was a bunch of things going through
00:15:45my head my crew calmed me down let's see if we can't get this
00:15:48lizzie musey made it to the finals of last night's grade eight but her last two passes
00:15:59have resulted in fireballs coming out of the hood on the big end she's got a good crew behind her
00:16:04that supposedly fixed the problem but this will be her first pass since that happened
00:16:08and tony mckinney will take the win lizzie musey has to get out of the gas
00:16:37all right folks next pair coming up gonna be ax man going up against ryan martin
00:16:43just take it right there just tap it you know what i mean
00:16:48so it's invitational day in ohio saturday the big day we got the great car back that's the car that's
00:16:55won a lot of races for me it ran good last night now it's about making good tune-up decisions for
00:17:00this track is going to be really good but if we get past first round i feel pretty good about the
00:17:11day i haven't had a season win so hopefully at the end of the day i could be in the finals
00:17:16what's up baby hop in believe i every race every race i think about calling him out because i'm
00:17:22like i just want to race him because eventually i may get him here you go and but it never works
00:17:25out for him i drew one bad man ryan martin he has had it out for me like he's in beat me at
00:17:33every race i think i've ever been at it's been rough hopefully we make this time too i want some
00:17:39redemption on that i want to get him back be safe brian see you man you too good luck guys so last
00:17:44night the track seemed to be great but i had abandoned three runs last night max man car makes
00:17:53a move towards the wall has to get out of it this car is not liking this track
00:18:09green light drop we took off axe man jumped out on me just a little bit it'll look like maybe he
00:18:22spun the tires or something but honestly mine made a perfect pass we needed that first round victory
00:18:26i'm pretty stoked the data looks good so providing we don't have anything stupid happen we got a pretty
00:18:31good race car this this week hey good race with you homie i didn't see you i said thank god when it
00:18:35shook i said no way yeah that sucks all right folks next pair coming at you right now we got
00:18:40clay cole going up against kai kelly kai i hope you and jeff got something good in that dang little
00:18:46computer there because uh we got the same thing we used on you last time you're gonna need it i
00:18:51ain't gonna work this time boys today you're gonna have to get something faster one of us has got to
00:18:55go on and win this thing i know that sucks man i mean literally you help me work on my car all night
00:19:00and then we draw each other now i got no choice but to outrun you at the end of the day though man
00:19:05we just need one of us to advance that's all that matters yeah and one of us is yeah i just hope
00:19:09it's me last night we stayed up till almost daylight clay cole ended up hitting the wall right after
00:19:13the finish line and clay cole oh hold together oh clear the starting line clear the starting line
00:19:21clay cole into the wall at the top end but his car made a really good pass we helped him rivet his
00:19:26front end back together because his front end was just destroyed it was terrible it had a four foot
00:19:30gaping hole in it we got it back together and uh now i got it you know that's one of the guys i
00:19:35didn't want first round you know i don't want clay to think be awkward or anything i know he's new to
00:19:39my team but uh always told my team to race me as hard as you can race me because if i can't beat you
00:19:45that means i can't beat the next person so if clay goes out there and beats me today that'll be 10
00:19:49points going to my team anyway i'm good with it
00:19:51and clay cole takes the win puts kai kelly on the trailer didn't see that coming clay cole
00:20:18knocks off kai kelly in the first round all right so me and clay put him in the beams
00:20:23you know we were side by side for probably 100 200 feet and he pulled on me in the middle a little
00:20:28bit and i started pulling on him on the big end
00:20:30he beat me by i don't know inches a fender you can't really tell at 200 miles an hour but it was
00:20:38a hell of a race and uh he kicked my ass i helped him put his car back together to roll up there
00:20:42and kicked my ass but it is what it is i'm not mad about it it was a good side by side race and
00:20:47that's what i live for and uh i got a teammate moving around too so it could have been me it
00:20:51could have been him it's the same amount of points no matter what next pair that's going to be rich
00:20:56brooder going up against cali mills battle of the blower cars right here ready to go you gotta win
00:21:04i got rich brooder i'm gonna go up there and do my job on the tree but if i get him on the tree i
00:21:11don't think he can really run me down i think that my car is running pretty good right now
00:21:15vegas was really rough for us we didn't make it down we got one good pass last night once we got
00:21:19the car figured out i think if we can make that pass again today and i can be on the tree then i think
00:21:29we'll be fine
00:21:59and rich brooder is going to turn on the wind light there like cali mills got loose they had to get
00:22:26out of it he had his foot in the beam and cali staged with his crew member's foot in the beam
00:22:31i mean normal racing that's a when two cars stage you have one car that will light the top bulb and
00:22:37then the other car will light the top bulb then they will move in to the next beam which is the
00:22:42bottom bulb once four bulbs are lit the cars will get on the limiters and wait for the green light to
00:22:47drop all right your foot was in the beam you can't do that she staged with your foot in the beams
00:22:53so where's my foot in the beam i'm telling you your foot was in wow she's while her light is in
00:22:59there while she's in right you got to look over there because you stepped in while she lit now she
00:23:02thinks it was the car she thinks it was the tree make sure yeah yeah so i mean if they start bitching
00:23:07about it they could have disqualified you could have been disqualified actually you were supposed to be
00:23:11out if they want to with it they may they may disqualify you just letting you know this isn't the
00:23:15first time we've had to deal with something like this last year robin roberts and sean had the same
00:23:20type of issue happen and we ended up rerunning that race and that's what we're talking about
00:23:24doing here as well that's on y'all if y'all want to that's on y'all if y'all want to do that
00:23:28yeah it's all right that's all up over there i'm sure that's on y'all she can at least get a rerun
00:23:34problem pull that thing off we got us undoing these bolts we came back looked at the car we've
00:23:40popped the burst panel on the blower we couldn't make the rerun we had the blower off and i said i came
00:23:45back here and it dropped the valve so more damage than fixing it in 15 minutes yeah i'll just go
00:23:51like we're gonna i'll take the loss you won that and then i'll still get them well thank you guys
00:23:55so we're on to the second round not exactly how it liked to have been in the second round
00:24:00all right all right next pair that's gonna be chuck 55 going up against disco dean
00:24:11hey hey you want the you want the lead blower no we're good right now
00:24:18my home state of ohio dragway 42 in west salem so today we have chuck 55 he's going to be out for
00:24:33some vengeance because we ran in bandamere and he knocked the tires off instantly and i got the wind
00:24:37light so i know he's going to be on his a game and my job is to turn the wind light on in my lane
00:24:42for my home state while i'm here
00:24:43going into uh first round with drew dean and i'm pretty excited about that i owe him one because
00:24:59i gave him an easy one there in denver basically giving them a race away i want to make them earn
00:25:03it if they're going to win it
00:25:04get the wind get the wind
00:25:28they just put it in right they did hey that's all right that's all right that's points

00:25:44i'll get these you just bring me that one from the back
00:25:47so first round drew larry larson i don't think i raced him this year i raced him a few times last
00:25:52year we know that car's fast uh we feel like the track will hold some power we feel like we got to
00:25:57tune in to winning
00:25:58it's been an odd year because i i struggled so bad the last two years and and now i'm in a position
00:26:11where i'm the only one that's really going any rounds on this team but i'm okay with the draw
00:26:15i'm just starting this five race deal out today and see if we can go to the final like we did last week
00:26:19all right next pair that is going to be robin roberts
00:26:26all right next pair that is going to be robin roberts going up against justin swanstrom
00:26:51so brian got one your turn to get one
00:26:56and uh get the one for the team
00:27:01keep marching forward that's right round one i draw justin swanstrom we've been buddies for a while
00:27:08we're on the same team for a while but they're early like we were o and four against justin so
00:27:13the last couple times we've been able to even that up so hopefully we're going to do that again today
00:27:16me and robin have raced a lot of times over the years
00:27:27car's running good right now we've had all these issues of backfiring and doing all that
00:27:31i think we finally have a race car
00:27:33we went out there and i caught a good light
00:28:01i was out in front of him car went into a tire shake and the gear change we just missed the tune
00:28:07up i hate to go out first round like this um it's the fifth race in a row uh we are completely
00:28:13sucking it up and but we're gonna figure it out yeah good rest man congratulations you too
00:28:19next pair that's gonna be brad brad eglin going up against kayla morton
00:28:30at this point like it's our opportunity to kind of capitalize on some things lizzie's out kai's out
00:28:48this is our chance to start lessening that gap and and moving ahead in the top
00:28:53eight i would love a kayla day final that would be awesome and we pull ahead against kai kelly's team
00:28:57and that's the ultimate goal here is to win and to leave number one in this team race
00:29:01next pair that is going to be paige coughlin going up against bobby decody
00:29:28we got bobby and you know he's been around with the series for a while and i knew this was going
00:29:44to be a good lineup for us and we really just needed to kind of put our braids together and
00:29:47just go out there and rip the band-aid off first round is always the most stressful
00:29:51i mean at least it is for me i get so nervous
00:29:53next pair that is going to be paige coughlin going up against bobby decody
00:30:15he left on her
00:30:16i saw him when we left and then he slowly backed in away
00:30:35I saw him when we left, and then he slowly backed in a way.
00:30:45So I'm like, all righty, all righty.
00:30:46Just keep focused, driving it straight, keep it straight.
00:30:48Don't forget your shoots, because I was driving it pretty far into the run.
00:30:52And, oh, my gosh.
00:30:54And just seeing that Kayla won the round before me,
00:30:56it just made it even much more better.
00:30:58Just like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
00:31:01You know, we were going out first round.
00:31:04We didn't get to raise our way in one event, and we can't have that.
00:31:07And we were hungry, but today we were starving.
00:31:09Yes, bitches!
00:31:12That a girl.
00:31:13Oh, we needed that.
00:31:14Yeah, we did that bad.
00:31:15Good job, baby.
00:31:16Oh, thank you.
00:31:16You too.
00:31:18All right, next pair.
00:31:19That's Jim Howell going up against Damon Merchant.
00:31:23I think it's to the point now that he's, like, got himself talking so much stuff on the Internet,
00:31:27like, he's probably willing to blow that sum of each up to outrun us right now.
00:31:30So we're about to get, we're about to see everything that car has.
00:31:34Yeah.
00:31:34Lo and behold, after all the talking and everything, again, we matched up with Jim Howell in the driver's meeting.
00:31:40We ended up putting him out in Vegas.
00:31:42You know, he's just trying so hard to piggyback off of us doing so good this year to be relevant still.
00:31:49You 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.
00:32:06And 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.
00:32:14Yeah, Damon and I have had some Internet rivalry going on, and he's got a different persona online than he does in person.
00:32:19So me, I'm just me all the time.
00:32:20It's no secret that Jim Howell's made some enemies out here.
00:32:24Kayla Morton doesn't particularly care for him just because of the mega cash days issue.
00:32:28And then Damon Merchant really doesn't like him because Jim insists on calling him a cheater every chance he gets.
00:32:34But in racing, you don't have to be friends when you pull the starting line.
00:32:42All right, who's going to go in first?
00:32:44Both drivers sitting outside the beach.
00:32:47See the driver wanting to go in.
00:32:50All right, Jim Howell goes in first.
00:32:52Here we go.
00:33:05Hell yeah!
00:33:06That's how you do it!
00:33:07That's how you do it!
00:33:07That's the first round!
00:33:08That's what you do!
00:33:10Practice head!
00:33:13Son of a bitch!
00:33:15I wait until it was fully illuminated, let go of the button.
00:33:18By then, he was already out on me, and I couldn't reel him in.
00:33:21We 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.
00:33:27Hey, Jim!
00:33:28you beating up on my teammates!
00:33:32He had it coming.
00:33:33You know what's funny is they act like I'm the one doing all the talking, and they're the ones that never shut the up about it.
00:33:40You heard what he said, and we act like they're the ones talking.
00:33:43We just answered it, we don't talk it.
00:33:46He just gave it to the up about it, and he didn't ask for it, and there we go.
00:33:50We answered it.
00:33:51Nate, I was standing up there screaming louder than that.
00:33:55The world.
00:33:57All right, next pair coming at you.
00:33:59Got Nate Saylor going up against Scott Taylor.
00:34:03Nate, how you feeling today?
00:34:04It's race day.
00:34:05You've been doing this for one year.
00:34:06I feel fan-tastic.
00:34:08He's fully .
00:34:09You give him five more years, he won't say that.
00:34:12This is like do or die for us.
00:34:14We need to, we're already going to start down because we only have three drivers in,
00:34:18so we're going to actually step down from tied in third to fourth place in this because Ryan's team's got four drivers in.
00:34:25So, like, we need to get our together.
00:34:27Now 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.
00:34:36We can win there.
00:34:41I mean, I have a tune-up in it that could go 380, no problem.
00:34:45It could go stupid fast.
00:34:47We're going to try to win this round.
00:35:06All right, next pair, and that is going to be Kyle Canyon going up against David Gates.
00:35:21Let's get out there and rip it today, man.
00:35:22Let's get something going.
00:35:23Let's get a win.
00:35:24As far as team points go, we're behind.
00:35:26Not a comfortable spot, but we got the cars, we got the team.
00:35:30This is our chance.
00:35:30Kai took over the number one spot, and the team points.
00:35:44But it don't take but one race, and we can get that back.
00:35:48Kai's team needs to go out first round, and then it gives us more chances for my team to go rounds and just keep racking up those ten points.
00:35:55All right, next pair, and that is going to be Kyle Canyon going up against David Gates.
00:36:13And David Gates gets their f***ing battles.
00:36:33Good job, guys.
00:36:34Good job, baby.
00:36:36Good job, guys.
00:36:37The win line, he'll move on to the second round.
00:36:41Woo!
00:36:41What's it going on, boss?
00:36:42Let go of the button.
00:36:45About 330 feet.
00:36:46I 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, went around him, got the win line.
00:36:56That's a drag race right there, boys.
00:36:58That's a fast-ass car.
00:37:00I know it is.
00:37:00He's one of the best competitors I've ever 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.
00:37:08Now it's just do my job, go out here and kill that tree, keep going rounds, get them points for Team Kai Kelly and that 200,000, baby, because we work.
00:37:16All right, folks, next pair.
00:37:18That is going to be Joe, Dominator Woods, going up against Murder Nova.
00:37:23You're going to take your fellow 405 guy on, huh?
00:37:27Damn it.
00:37:28Stop it.
00:37:29Shot?
00:37:30Stop it.
00:37:30Very nice.
00:37:32What Dominator ever do to you?
00:37:33Stop it.
00:37:35Hey, he's beating me before the first round.
00:37:39It's amazing winning the grade eights.
00:37:42I'm going into today's Invitational with confidence, you know?
00:37:45I got a fast car, it's been running good this weekend, and end up getting Dominator, you know?
00:37:51And as a friend and a teammate from the 405, I hate to draw him, you know?
00:37:57But I've got to go up there, I've got to do my job, and I've got to go rounds.
00:38:02We drew Murder Nova.
00:38:04He and I have raced together for, what, 20 years now?
00:38:08All I got to do is my job, hopefully I got a better tune-up in it than he does.
00:38:11You know, he's out there to kick my ass, so that's what I got to do to him.
00:38:27I'm not going to sleep until I get an invite win.
00:38:30It's amazing winning the grade eights, but I got to get an Invitational, you know?
00:38:35I need to go five rounds, I need to win this.
00:38:38It's not even really about the money at this point.
00:38:40I mean, but absolutely, the money would go a long ways.
00:38:43It's about getting that win, getting that trophy,
00:38:47and the pride of being the few who've won one of these Invitationalists.
00:38:52All right, next fair, we got Greg Chandler going up against Doc Love.
00:39:20We need to make sure that this car, nothing stupid happens against this race against Greg Chandler.
00:39:25I got to have this win, I need those points, I need to go to the next round.
00:39:29I got Greg Chandler, I took care of him last week and raced your way in.
00:39:32Nothing's a given, you know, all I got to do is do my job.
00:39:35The car's got to do its job, it's just got to go down the track,
00:39:37go down as fast as it's been going, and I'm pretty sure we can get it into the second round.
00:39:41Cool.
00:39:42Let's get this.
00:39:43So who you got first round?
00:39:45Doc.
00:39:46Doc.
00:39:46I've run him probably three times this year.
00:39:49Have you run him this year?
00:39:50I've not run Doc any of you.
00:39:51Hey, I'm telling you, Doc's hitting a lick.
00:39:53You got to go A to B to beat him, right?
00:39:55Yes.
00:39:55Oh, yeah.
00:39:56You know, we're struggling, we're at the bottom of the list,
00:39:58we need to move it up, we ain't got the five races left,
00:40:02we really need to get some points on the board.
00:40:04Doc Love will take the win there.
00:40:22Nice job.
00:40:22Doc makes chicken ass, man.
00:40:24You got to get Doc credit, he's doing way better than me.
00:40:27We did swing for it, like I said.
00:40:30It just made it a little too hot, and it rattled the tires,
00:40:32and he pulled away, there's nothing I can do.
00:40:34I just got outrun.
00:40:36Very, very impressed with me and my team.
00:40:38We did a good job, killer job.
00:40:40All right, folks, Jeff, let's go up against Daddy Dave.
00:40:46I rolled the whole way up here, I put my driving jacket on,
00:40:48I don't have my pants.
00:40:50Amateurs.
00:40:51First round driver's meeting, I draw none other than Daddy Dave.
00:40:55And we're 16th pair.
00:40:56There's enough room in there, I could ride in there.
00:40:59Right here.
00:41:01When you're last and it's hot out, you get all the rubber,
00:41:04it starts getting real greasy.
00:41:06The track's not as optimum as it would be first through 10,
00:41:10you know, so I'm not a fan of being that late in the day.
00:41:20All right, folks, this will be the last pair
00:41:22of the Invitational first round over in the right lane.
00:41:25That is going to be Jeff Lutz driving the Turbo GTO,
00:41:29going up against Daddy Dave in the left lane.
00:41:33Dave driving the Pro Charge Audi.
00:41:35This is the second time we've paired up this season
00:41:39and he kicked my ass the first time
00:41:41and I'm actually looking for a little redemption
00:41:43and putting him on a trailer first round.
00:41:45And Jeff Lutz takes the win there.
00:42:05Nice job, Jeff.
00:42:08Move on to the next round.
00:42:10First round for Team Daddy Dave was horrible.
00:42:12You know, I hurt my motor, X-Man hurt his, Kyle hurt his.
00:42:16So we have the two girls going into round two.
00:42:21Never thought I'd be standing on the shoulders of two girls,
00:42:24but these girls are devoted, their teams are devoted,
00:42:27and hopefully they can go some rounds.
00:42:28Love you, buddy.
00:42:29Thank you, man.
00:42:30Race with Dave went exactly how I planned it to go,
00:42:33and man, we whooped him and we whooped him in big fashion.
00:42:37All right, round two, here we come.
00:42:39We started the day with 32 drivers,
00:42:42and now we're down to 16.
00:42:44Both Sean and Justin Swanstrom's teams look great
00:42:47as they have four drivers moving on to the next round.
00:42:50But the biggest shock of the day
00:42:51is Kai Kelly and Lizzie Musey are out.
00:42:54That leaves a lot of room for the other teams
00:42:55to catch up to number one.
00:42:57All right, folks, that'll do it for an invitational first round.
00:43:02All right, y'all, let's go ahead and draw chips.
00:43:06It's fine.
00:43:09I have to kind of change it up a little bit.
00:43:12Good job.
00:43:12Good job.
00:43:13Good job.
00:43:13Good job.
00:43:13Good job.
00:43:15Yeah.
00:43:16Easy, lazy, lazy.
00:43:19All right, all my drivers have their chips.
00:43:23Where are my number ones?
00:43:25It's going to be Clay Cole versus Kayla Morton.
00:43:29Number twos.
00:43:30It's going to be Brandon James versus Paige Coughlin.
00:43:34Number threes.
00:43:37It's going to be Tony McKinney versus Murder Nova.
00:43:41Yeah, John!
00:43:43Number four.
00:43:46John Odom versus Nate Saylor.
00:43:50Number fives.
00:43:53It's going to be Chuck 55 versus Jeff Lutz.
00:43:56Number six.
00:43:58It's going to be Robin Roberts versus Ryan Martin.
00:44:01Not ideal situation there for Team Ryan Martin.
00:44:04All right, number seven is going to be Cali Mills versus Doc Love.
00:44:11Are we going on green?
00:44:12I don't know yet.
00:44:13Okay, okay, just let me know.
00:44:15Which means my eighth and final race will be Jim Howe versus David Gates.
00:44:20Jim Howe versus David Gates.
00:44:22You're safe, sir.
00:44:22I love you, man.
00:44:23All right, drivers.
00:44:25You know who you're racing.
00:44:26You know what you got to do.
00:44:27Go back in the pits.
00:44:28Get your cars turned around.
00:44:29Bring them in the staging lanes.
00:44:31One of you is going to win $40,000 here today.
00:44:33Here we go.
00:44:37Second round.
00:44:39Clay Cole going up against Cali Morton.
00:44:42You really need pass this round.
00:44:45He's fast.
00:44:45He's very fast.
00:44:48Okay, let's do it.
00:44:50I'm ready.
00:44:51I'll do it.
00:44:53Man, that thing is ugly.
00:44:54Yeah.
00:44:56It's like a little ugly girl.
00:44:59It used to be pretty.
00:45:01Clay Cole is an absolute badass.
00:45:03He took Kai out.
00:45:05He wrecked in the wall last night.
00:45:06Stayed up all night long and fixed his car.
00:45:08And it just made a hell of a pass.
00:45:09So not the ideal draw.
00:45:11We have to be on our game.
00:45:12Go up there.
00:45:13Cut a light.
00:45:13Give him a run.
00:45:14But in a team aspect, this is ideal.
00:45:17We have an opportunity to take a member of Kai Kelly's team out
00:45:20and close that gap.
00:45:21All right, so Cali Morton does her burn out.
00:45:36Clay Cole tried to do his burn out.
00:45:37Something happened.
00:45:38Car dies.
00:45:38Round two, we draw chips.
00:45:50I get Cali Morton.
00:45:51She's got a fast high rod.
00:45:53But I did beat her in Bantamere,
00:45:55so I've got a little bit of confidence going into this round.
00:45:58We're going to put a better tune-up in it.
00:45:59Obviously, we went fast against Kai.
00:46:01We're just going to try to get faster.
00:46:02The track's getting better and better.
00:46:03So we're going to go up there
00:46:04and hopefully make a good saw to lick.
00:46:27And Cali Morton gets the first great drag race.
00:46:32Here we go, guys.
00:46:33Good job.
00:46:34Nice job.
00:46:35All right, next pair.
00:46:37We got Paige Coughlin going up against Brandon James.
00:46:41Oh, the sun.
00:46:43The sun.
00:46:45Oh.
00:46:46Oh.
00:46:47Every time.
00:46:48Every time.
00:46:49That's where the...
00:46:49I'm glad I didn't get this one painted.
00:46:51So going up for round two, we draw Brandon James.
00:46:54You know, I've been watching Brandon.
00:46:56I mean, I think he's a great driver.
00:46:57He's got a nice car.
00:46:58But I think this is going to be another great lineup for us.
00:47:03We really need to turn on that wind light.
00:47:11I mean, me and Kayla, we got to keep this momentum going.
00:47:13We're the only two left on the team.
00:47:15And we got to carry that for sure.
00:47:17Paige Coughlin takes the win.
00:47:42Nice job, Paige.
00:47:43That thing was moving.
00:47:49I mean, we have this car going faster and faster every lap.
00:47:53Proud of you, boo-boo.
00:47:55Now we have Team Daddy Dave going in with me and Kayla.
00:47:58We just need to keep doing it.
00:48:00Good job.
00:48:01Great race.
00:48:02This next pair, that is going to be Tony McKinney looking to take out Murder Nova.
00:48:14Stay out.
00:48:15Don't.
00:48:16Okay.
00:48:18We ain't going to.
00:48:22Tony McKinney, he's a wild card.
00:48:26He's been killing it the last couple of races.
00:48:29There for a while, he couldn't do anything right.
00:48:31He couldn't even race his way in.
00:48:34And now, he's been hauling ass here this weekend.
00:48:37You can't take somebody like that lightly because he's got nothing to lose.
00:48:40He's going to go over there and he's going to throw the biggest tune-up he has in the car.
00:48:44And we're not going to underestimate him.
00:48:47Second round, we got Murder Nova.
00:48:58Murder Nova is flying right now.
00:49:00We just got to take that win from him and go on to the next round.
00:49:02That's what I'm looking forward to right now.
00:49:04Getting through this round, then I don't have to race my way in.
00:49:07If I can get this one win, I'm locked in for next week.
00:49:10Murder Nova is going to take the win there.
00:49:33He will move on to the third round.
00:49:35Nice job, Sean.
00:49:41We pulled up there.
00:49:42I felt like I chopped the tree down.
00:49:45We put the tune-up in it that a track would possibly take, and it took it.
00:49:50All we got to do is take one race at a time.
00:49:54Three left, you know.
00:49:56Let's go get this invitation to win.
00:49:58All right, next pair.
00:49:59It's going to be John Odle going up against Nate Saylor.
00:50:03Nate Saylor, here we go, baby.
00:50:05John, what's up?
00:50:07Back or no?
00:50:07Not on me, no.
00:50:09No, not on myself.
00:50:11I just took a thou off of him for Jim and Damon, so he's trying to get it back on me.
00:50:16Woo!
00:50:17Got Bodie for $1,000.
00:50:19But as you know, I don't bet on myself.
00:50:21I don't think that's good luck, so I'm not going to do that.
00:50:24So I'm just going to go out and see if we can get this W here.
00:50:28You know, I drew Nate Saylor.
00:50:29He's been kind of up and down.
00:50:31We feel like our car is faster, so we feel like that's a good draw for us.
00:50:35And we just hope that, you know, as long as I do my job and hit the tree right, we feel
00:50:39like we'll be successful on the other end.
00:50:48We literally need to go rounds.
00:50:50Our team is, like, they're just down to me.
00:50:52Uh, Daddy Dave's team had two in, uh, Murder Nova's team had three or four in, like, uh,
00:50:59Ryan Martin's team had two, but they drew each other, so that's good for us.
00:51:03Um, but yeah, we need to go rounds to collect points or we're going to start falling down
00:51:07that ladder and just getting towards crunch time here, so I'm going to do everything I
00:51:10can to make sure we've gained some points for our team.
00:51:12And Nate Saylor!
00:51:34Let's go, Nick.
00:51:36Keep us in this, baby.
00:51:38Keep us in it, Nick. Let's go, baby.
00:51:40Yeah.
00:51:41Oh, man, this car is a bad bitch.
00:51:44I can feel her carrying the tires for 400 feet,
00:51:47setting her down. It just feels, like, amazing.
00:51:49You beat me by a lot.
00:51:50I think you got me on the tree pretty good.
00:51:52Good round.
00:51:53Yeah, it was a good round.
00:51:55All right, gonna be a bye run for Jeff Lutz.
00:51:59What are you doing?
00:52:02Man, that worked out.
00:52:04That worked out for the best.
00:52:05Man, yeah.
00:52:06If anybody, I mean, if anybody's gonna get it,
00:52:09I want a team member to get it.
00:52:10I know. As soon as you said you were hurt,
00:52:12I'm like, oh, no.
00:52:13I draw Chuck 55.
00:52:15He's hurt. He blew it up in the first round,
00:52:17which is bittersweet for me.
00:52:19That means I'm going on to the third round.
00:52:21If you need anything, I got you.
00:52:23We got second round given to us.
00:52:25Jeffrey can swing for it.
00:52:27Let's see what it'll take,
00:52:28because whoever's left in the third round,
00:52:30they're going to be damn fast.
00:52:32So we got to be on our game and ready for it.
00:52:37I'm bummed out for Chuck,
00:52:38because Chuck's a good racer,
00:52:40and his is fast.
00:52:57All right, Jeff Lutz on a pass.
00:53:02Looks like the front tire's in the air,
00:53:04unable to steer.
00:53:05The car went towards the wall.
00:53:06Yeah, it wasn't bad.
00:53:07I had the lift.
00:53:08It was going a little right,
00:53:09but I got enough data.
00:53:12That was good.
00:53:14Junior will be happy with that.
00:53:16On to the third round, boys.
00:53:18This next pair is going to be a fast one.
00:53:20It's going to be Robin Roberts
00:53:21going up against Ryan Martin.
00:53:27Do good.
00:53:28Be safe.
00:53:29What's up, buddy?
00:53:30Sucks.
00:53:31My own teammate.
00:53:32I've raced him three or four times this year.
00:53:33It's like, you know,
00:53:34some years you just draw the same dude a lot
00:53:36for some reason.
00:53:37It's me and Robin.
00:53:38But I've got to race him,
00:53:40so now, unfortunately,
00:53:41I have to turn the team thing off
00:53:42and try to go outrun him.
00:53:44Like, we just must be the worst chip dryers
00:53:48on the whole planet.
00:53:49It's terrible odds that we end up together,
00:53:51but, you know,
00:53:52if you're going to race
00:53:54and race together in an event like this,
00:53:56if you keep winning,
00:53:57eventually you're going to meet each other.
00:54:04When you race someone like Ryan Martin,
00:54:06you just, you got to give the car everything.
00:54:08You got to do everything you can to beat him.
00:54:09He's in a car that's still a little bit,
00:54:11they're still working with it to get it right.
00:54:13Ours is pretty solid,
00:54:15so that should give us an advantage,
00:54:17but we're not taking anything lightly.
00:54:19We're going to roll with this thing.
00:54:20This next pair is going to be a fast one.
00:54:22It's going to be Robin Roberts,
00:54:23going up against Ryan Martin.
00:54:24This next pair is going to be a fast one.
00:54:26It's going to be Robin Roberts,
00:54:27going up against Ryan Martin.
00:54:28This next pair is going to be a fast one.
00:54:30It's going to be Robin Roberts,
00:54:31going up against Ryan Martin.
00:54:36This next pair going to be a fast one to be Robin Roberts going up against Brian Martin.
00:55:06All right, so Ryan Martin going to get the win. Robin Roberts, time's out.
00:55:16No, he didn't bump.
00:55:18No, that's good. Good for us. Bad for him.
00:55:21The car wouldn't roll.
00:55:23That's what it would, like, because you're bumping.
00:55:25Yeah, wouldn't roll.
00:55:26So, you know, we go to pull up, and Robin lights the bulb first.
00:55:31You know, we kind of sit there for a little bit. He lights the first bulb. Okay, no problem.
00:55:34So I went ahead and grabbed both of the next two bulbs, waiting for him to come in.
00:55:39And I wait, and I wait, and I wait, and he never comes in.
00:55:43His light goes red. I put it on the train's brake takeoff.
00:55:49He does a thing where he bumps in. For Robin, unfortunately, the bump feature failed for him.
00:55:55So I got the automatic win, went and got the data.
00:55:57The pass was really good. We made a really good run.
00:56:01We knew he was fast, so we had it hopped up pretty good.
00:56:03So I'll be able to go pull this data and figure out what to do for round three.
00:56:07Why do you think it won't bump?
00:56:08I don't know.
00:56:09I think we've got to do things to remove variables, and that's not good for us.
00:56:12The bumping?
00:56:13Yeah.
00:56:14I'm not a fan of it.
00:56:15I know.
00:56:18All right, next pair.
00:56:19We got Callie Mills going up against Doc Love.
00:56:23Calm down.
00:56:24Relax.
00:56:25We made it.
00:56:26I know.
00:56:27We made it.
00:56:28I drew Callie, who, as far as I can tell, has been struggling this weekend.
00:56:34I don't think she's made a good pass, or she has very few.
00:56:41Last time we raced Doc, he jumped, guessed the light, got it, and I couldn't catch him.
00:56:56He called me a sore loser, so in the driver's meeting I asked him, we shook hands, are we
00:57:00going on green?
00:57:01He shook my hand and said, I'll let you know.
00:57:04So I own one, a big one.
00:57:07I'm going to get him back this round, for sure.
00:57:09All right, Callie Mills going to get the win.
00:57:35Doc Love goes red.
00:57:36Ready?
00:57:37I really did not mean to go red.
00:57:39I really did not.
00:57:40You were good.
00:57:41And I did not mean to double-ball you either.
00:57:43I'm so sorry.
00:57:44I could have sworn.
00:57:45I guess he went red.
00:57:47We went out there and still did the same old deal.
00:57:50Oh, well, we got the win.
00:57:51That's all that matters, right?
00:57:52Well, I got lucky one round, so now it's time for us to be good.
00:57:56We got lucky again.
00:57:57Yeah, you got lucky again.
00:57:58Last pair here of the Invitational Class.
00:58:01Jim Howell going up against David Gates.
00:58:04What do you think?
00:58:05I think the racetrack's very similar.
00:58:08Just going to work on the middle.
00:58:10Work on the middle and let the engine run better out back.
00:58:17Round two, they're going to duck out of the 32.
00:58:19Jim Howell's fast.
00:58:20He got a badass program.
00:58:21A lot of people don't like him.
00:58:23He's got it figured out.
00:58:24He does really well, so we know we got our work cut out for us,
00:58:27but he also knows when he gets up against us,
00:58:29he's going to have a competitor that ain't got no quit in him.
00:58:31We're going to go out there and give him help.
00:58:40Out of Team Kai Kelly, I'm the only one still standing there
00:58:42with only four of us in today.
00:58:44But at the end of the night, we got championship points
00:58:46towards that $200,000 and that trophy in our hand.
00:58:48What is it?
00:59:01What is it?
00:59:06We had an oil line fail.
00:59:18So, you know, how many licks does it take to get to the center
00:59:20of a Tootsie Pop?
00:59:21I don't know, but one less run than this is how many we need
00:59:24to put on these oil lines.
00:59:25The silver lining in this is, had this happened at 400 foot,
00:59:29500 foot, 600 foot down the racetrack,
00:59:32we would probably wreck the car.
00:59:59David Gates, nice pass there, going to take the win light.
01:00:01Hey, y'all got like a mop or something?
01:00:03Yeah.
01:00:04Better it happened here than out in the middle of a racetrack.
01:00:06That would be horrible down there.
01:00:08Round two is in the books,
01:00:10and that leaves eight drivers left in the competition,
01:00:14including two from Team Murder Nova
01:00:16and two from Team Daddy Dave.
01:00:18Kayla Morton and Paige Kaufman are carrying the boys
01:00:20on their back this weekend and showing no signs of slowing down.
01:00:24And Ryan Martin's gray car is still in the event.
01:00:26It is anyone's race to win.
01:00:29All right, folks, so we're going to go ahead and draw chips now.
01:00:34There's a few people that do that.
01:00:37And nobody here explained to me why that makes sense.
01:00:39Why, what makes sense?
01:00:40Bumping in with a blower car.
01:00:41They tried to get me to do that, and I was like, absolutely not.
01:00:43That's the worst part of having a turbo car.
01:00:45Why would you want to bump in?
01:00:47I don't know.
01:00:48I mean, I don't bump either, but who knows?
01:00:50All right, where are my number ones?
01:00:56All right, Nate Saylor versus Kayla Morton.
01:01:02All right, number two, step forward,
01:01:04going to be David Gates versus Callie Mills.
01:01:07Second pair.
01:01:08Third pair.
01:01:09Oh, God.
01:01:10Paige Kaufman versus Murder Nova.
01:01:11Paige Kaufman versus Murder Nova.
01:01:12She said, oh, my God, this is so cool.
01:01:13That's what she just said.
01:01:14Paige, why'd you go?
01:01:15Why'd you go?
01:01:16Oh, God.
01:01:17Yeah, she goes.
01:01:18I can't believe it.
01:01:19I'm racing Murder Nova.
01:01:20That's awesome, right?
01:01:21You're going to have to work on that a little bit.
01:01:22That is awesome.
01:01:23All right, folks, Paige Kaufman a little excited.
01:01:24She's racing Murder Nova right now.
01:01:25That's cool.
01:01:26She's fangirling down here.
01:01:27You know, it's all good.
01:01:28All right, our fourth and final pair
01:01:29will be Jeff Lutz versus Ryan Martin.
01:01:31Drivers, you know who you're racing.
01:01:32You know what you got to do.
01:01:33Go back in the pits.
01:01:34Get your cars turned around.
01:01:35Bring them into staging lanes.
01:01:36One of you is going to win $40,000.
01:01:37Let's do it.
01:01:38Wow.
01:01:39Wow.
01:01:40Wow.
01:01:41Wow.
01:01:42Wow.
01:01:43Wow.
01:01:44Wow.
01:01:45Wow.
01:01:46Wow.
01:01:47Wow.
01:01:48Wow.
01:01:49Wow.
01:01:50Wow.
01:01:51Wow.
01:01:52Wow.
01:01:53Wow.
01:01:54Wow.
01:01:55Wow.
01:01:56Wow.
01:01:57Here we go.
01:01:58Nate Saylor going up against Kayla Morton.
01:02:01You got a hard one.
01:02:02Yep.
01:02:03I know.
01:02:04That car's hauling ass, and Sean's hauling ass, so.
01:02:07And I'm hauling ass.
01:02:08There we go.
01:02:09Yeah, I know.
01:02:10Yeah.
01:02:11At this point, we got one guy in.
01:02:13He got the gun.
01:02:14He looked like really, really good.
01:02:15Oh, yeah.
01:02:16Did you see it carry the tires?
01:02:17Woo!
01:02:18Car just working, and it's running good.
01:02:21So I was just hoping you could just carry us in there.
01:02:23Yeah, you got four big shenanigans right now.
01:02:25I like it.
01:02:26Where's your pom-poms?
01:02:28They're right here.
01:02:30Right here.
01:02:31Yeah.
01:02:32Round three, we drew Kayla Morton.
01:02:34We feel pretty good about it.
01:02:35They were on the same setup we do.
01:02:37Tuner said he sped it up a little bit.
01:02:39I don't know how he could do that,
01:02:40because it was carrying the tires so damn far.
01:02:42But I got to trust in him to do that.
01:02:44He does that, and I can let go of a button.
01:02:46So we're going to put a hot tune up in the car and let her eat.
01:02:58Here we go.
01:02:59First pair in the third round for the Invitational class.
01:03:01Going to be a good one.
01:03:02Over in the left lane, that is going to be Nate Saylor.
01:03:06Nate Saylor in the left lane, going up against Kayla Morton
01:03:09coming at you right here.
01:03:28Here we go.
01:03:29Nate Saylor going up against Kayla Morton.
01:03:32Coming at you right here.
01:03:39One.
01:03:40One.
01:03:42One.
01:03:43One.
01:03:45One.
01:04:03That's getting it.
01:04:04And she had oil on her tires.
01:04:06She had oil on her tires.
01:04:08It's gonna blow the burst panel out and probably ate the blower.
01:04:15That's just a guess.
01:04:17It didn't, like, kick the rods out.
01:04:19It blew the burst panel out and probably smoked a few pistons.
01:04:23We got a race car.
01:04:26Whoo!
01:04:29Man, this round was badass.
01:04:31We knew they were fast.
01:04:33We raced them last night, let go of the button,
01:04:36and honest to God, never saw or heard her.
01:04:39I think the car wheelied almost the whole eighth mile from start to finish.
01:04:43Probably the fastest by far pass I've made in that car since I've owned it.
01:04:47Uh, my note says, run it on the edge.
01:04:51That was on the edge.
01:04:52I know, I leave Chase little sticky notes on his computer before passes,
01:04:56and that said run it on the edge.
01:04:58I think we just tipped the edge.
01:04:59Yeah, yeah, that was over the edge.
01:05:01Over the edge.
01:05:03Uh, the motor said she don't want no mow.
01:05:06All right, next pick.
01:05:08That is going to be Callie Mills going up against David Gates.
01:05:12Man, I feel great.
01:05:14I feel like we're going to the third round,
01:05:16and we need to get past it and get to the finals.
01:05:20Keep right on moving.
01:05:24I'm going to do my part as a driver.
01:05:26I'm going to do my best to cut a good light,
01:05:28drive it to the other end, get the wind light,
01:05:30get into that 40,000, and then points for Kyle Kelly
01:05:33since we're the last man standing.
01:05:34We're going to try to represent for him,
01:05:35because he's toted us in times like this.
01:05:37So I feel like I'm going to try to tote the team at this time,
01:05:39and keep going around, and get that wind tonight.
01:05:41And Adam's going to smoke a cigar,
01:05:42and we're going to drink a cold beer.
01:05:44I think if we can get the car to go straight,
01:05:53I think it definitely will win.
01:05:55I think that it could win the whole race,
01:05:57if it would just act right.
01:05:58But I don't know.
01:06:00We're going to see.
01:06:01I'm feeling good.
01:06:02You know, there's a reason why he's on this car,
01:06:04so why stop now?
01:06:14And Callie Mills gets the win.
01:06:27Nice job, Callie Mills.
01:06:30All right, next pair, that's going to be Paige Coughlin,
01:06:33going up against Murder Nova.
01:06:37Who'd you draw?
01:06:39Murder Nova.
01:06:40Are you excited?
01:06:41I'm star-struck.
01:06:43Yes?
01:06:44No.
01:06:45We're going into round three.
01:06:46We drew Murder Nova, and I'm thinking to myself,
01:06:50oh my gosh.
01:06:52One of my favorite people to watch growing up on the show,
01:06:54and named my first race car after him,
01:06:57and I don't even know if he knows that, but it's true.
01:06:59I had a little fangirl moment.
01:07:00So why don't you take it easy on Sean,
01:07:02because you're .
01:07:03No.
01:07:04You got man crush on him?
01:07:05I just think it's so cool.
01:07:08Like, I never thought in a million years.
01:07:10Let's say, let's knock his head plumb off his shoulders.
01:07:12Let's do that.
01:07:13All right.
01:07:14Okay.
01:07:15I'm not going easy.
01:07:16I'm not scared.
01:07:17I'm going to give him a run for his money no matter what.
01:07:19No matter who wins, this is going to be so badass.
01:07:22Good?
01:07:23Yeah.
01:07:24Yeah.
01:07:25I'm so excited.
01:07:27Round three, we go up, we drop Paige.
01:07:29She is fairly new to this.
01:07:32I know she can cut a light.
01:07:33I know that she's been racing for a long time, and she knows what she's doing.
01:07:38It's like everybody else out here, man.
01:07:40Good luck.
01:07:41Be safe.
01:07:42When the helmet goes on though, it's .
01:07:43No doubt about it.
01:07:44No doubt about it.
01:07:45I'm ready to race.
01:07:46I believe we have passed Team Bodie, and we're right there with Ryan.
01:07:51We still have two in, me and Jeff, and Ryan only has himself in.
01:07:56So I think we're one round behind him, but if we can continue on, we're right there on his heels.
01:08:03It's been a good weekend for Team Murder Nova.
01:08:06And Murder Nova is going to take the win.
01:08:27Paige Coughlin tried the best she could.
01:08:30Car made a move towards the wall, had to get out of it.
01:08:32That's right, baby!
01:08:35We knew that the track was cooling off.
01:08:37We knew that everything was getting better, and we put a pretty big dog tune-up in it.
01:08:42I focused on the light like usual.
01:08:44I let go of the button.
01:08:46I saw her right there with me for a little bit, and then after that, I didn't see her.
01:08:53Team Murder Nova has killed it this weekend.
01:08:55Me and Jeff are still in it.
01:08:57We have a chance at going to the finals together.
01:09:00Are you good?
01:09:01Are you good?
01:09:02That is so cool.
01:09:03Good job.
01:09:04God, thank you.
01:09:05You deserve it.
01:09:06You deserve it.
01:09:07Good job.
01:09:08So the two girls are the only ones that advanced on the team today.
01:09:10Each of them went to the third round where they both collected 30 points apiece for the team.
01:09:16So this event has proven to be crazy.
01:09:19There's a lot of hurt motors.
01:09:20A lot of people blowed up.
01:09:21A lot of teams have moved positions on the race to win the championship.
01:09:25Sean's moving up.
01:09:26He's going into the semifinals right now.
01:09:28Kyle's Kelly team is completely out of it.
01:09:31So this event has been wild.
01:09:34Jeff Lutz going up against none other than Ryan Martin.
01:09:40Man, I've been watching Ryan's runs.
01:09:42He's running pretty good.
01:09:43So are we, though.
01:09:44All right.
01:09:45I'm going to get in.
01:09:46Love you, buddy.
01:09:47Be safe.
01:09:48All right.
01:09:49Round three, I got my buddy Jeff Lutz.
01:09:50Jeff and I have raced quite a bit.
01:09:52We haven't raced in a while.
01:09:53His car looks like it has been running pretty well.
01:09:56But I did see him happen to abort his last run because he went to the right.
01:10:01So we made a really fast pass last night.
01:10:03We're going to take that tune up and we're going to use that against Jeff.
01:10:22Hey, Jeff Lutz gets the win.
01:10:24Ryan Burton's .
01:10:26Damn.
01:10:27I can shut off before .
01:10:29Jeff Lutz.
01:10:30Damn.
01:10:31That is it.
01:10:32Growing up or screwing something up.
01:10:33Wow.
01:10:34Who won?
01:10:35Lutz.
01:10:36Lutz won?
01:10:37He beat Ryan?
01:10:38Yeah.
01:10:39Whoa.
01:10:40Me and Jeff are still in it.
01:10:41All of my guys had a good weekend and we're stoked.
01:10:43You know, we're coming on strong on this back half charge.
01:10:47And as long as we keep it up, we still got a shot at this thing.
01:10:51That was a drag race.
01:10:53Now we are down to four.
01:10:55Team Murder Nova still holding it down with two drivers left in the event.
01:10:59Sean himself and Jeff Lutz have been making some extremely fast passes.
01:11:03But those two are going to have their hands full as Nate Saylor and Callie Mills still remain as well.
01:11:09All right.
01:11:10Let's draw chips.
01:11:11See who's racing who.
01:11:12Miss Callie.
01:11:13That, nope.
01:11:14Yeah, that one.
01:11:15Right there.
01:11:16All right, guys.
01:11:17Is there one left?
01:11:18Is it a one?
01:11:19No.
01:11:20All right.
01:11:21Where are my number ones?
01:11:22All right.
01:11:23Nate Saylor versus Jeff Lutz.
01:11:27This will be the first time.
01:11:28Which means my second pair will be Callie Mills versus Murder Nova.
01:11:35All right.
01:11:36Hey, hey.
01:11:37All we got to do now is not it up.
01:11:38The teammates stayed away from each other.
01:11:39Now all you got to do is not lose.
01:11:40That's right.
01:11:41And you've got your all-team final.
01:11:42All right, y'all.
01:11:43Go back to the pits.
01:11:44Get your cars turned around.
01:11:45Bring them to the stage lane.
01:11:46Look.
01:11:47Like I said, one of y'all is winning 40,000.
01:11:48You made it this far.
01:11:49You're doing a great job.
01:11:50Keep it up.
01:11:51Let's go.
01:11:52First pair coming at you right now.
01:11:53That is going to be Nate Saylor going up against Jeff Lutz.
01:11:56I mean, .
01:11:57We're in the semi-finals again.
01:11:58Two weekends in a row.
01:12:00With old reliable.
01:12:03Insane motor we've had for 13 years.
01:12:05Oh, my God.
01:12:06Yeah.
01:12:07Yeah.
01:12:08Isn't that insane?
01:12:09So we have not run Nate yet, so this might be a good.
01:12:12Yeah.
01:12:13I mean, I know not enough.
01:12:14How many of you have made it this far?
01:12:15You're doing a great job.
01:12:16Keep it up.
01:12:17Let's go.
01:12:18First pair coming at you right now.
01:12:20And it's gonna be Nate Saylor going up against Jeff Lutz.
01:12:22I mean .
01:12:23We're in the semifinals again.
01:12:24Two weekends in a row.
01:12:25With old reliable.
01:12:26I mean, I know Nate's fast.
01:12:28Sean said it a couple of races ago,
01:12:29man, we got to get our together.
01:12:31Well, I promised him I was going to get my together
01:12:34and we got our together and so did he.
01:12:36So it seems like our whole team
01:12:39is just coming together nicely.
01:12:40Murder Nova's team is now in third place,
01:12:42which puts a lot of pressure on me to hold my team up
01:12:44because if I can take Lutz out here
01:12:46and Callie can take out Murder Nova,
01:12:48that'll put us in the final and both of those teams out
01:12:51and will give us an opportunity to make another round.
01:12:53We're going to do what we can do to do that.
01:13:10All right, so we're here in Kai Kelly's dojo, his toter home.
01:13:26This is Kai Kelly's beautiful mother.
01:13:28I'm her favorite driver, you can ask her,
01:13:30and Grammy's, I'm her favorite driver too, ain't I?
01:13:34So what we're doing here, I owe Kai Kelly some money.
01:13:36It's late in the day, it's already one o'clock,
01:13:38and I'm trying to pay Kai,
01:13:40so we're going to call Kai from his mom's phone
01:13:43to see if he answers.
01:13:46Because he's been avoiding some people this morning.
01:13:49Does he need to sleep in? Did he get drunk last night?
01:13:51No, he worked on Clay Cole's car.
01:13:53Oh, he worked on Clay Cole's car, that's why he's tired.
01:13:55Watch that.
01:13:56Here we go.
01:13:57Uh-huh.
01:13:59What'd he say?
01:14:01He got to put some concealer on,
01:14:03that's why you wouldn't answer the phone.
01:14:05He's back here putting concealer on.
01:14:07All right, so we got him.
01:14:11We got him up.
01:14:12We got him up.
01:14:13Now we can square up our finances.
01:14:16Hey.
01:14:19First bear coming at you right now,
01:14:21that is going to be Nate Taylor going up against Jeff Lutz.
01:14:25Let's get it, Nate.
01:14:26Woo!
01:14:27Yeah, baby.
01:14:28Let's get it, Nate.
01:14:29Woo!
01:14:30Yeah.
01:14:31Good.
01:14:32Yeah, baby.
01:14:33Awesome, man.
01:14:34Let's get some fire.
01:14:35Good job, man.
01:14:36Man, we are into the finals on the Invitational here in Ohio.
01:14:46Uh, we're jacked, man.
01:14:47We've worked our asses off for this.
01:14:48Good race, brother.
01:14:49Now I know where we're at.
01:14:51Get the go straight.
01:14:52I put five pounds in the nose that time,
01:14:53because it was really in the whole track,
01:14:54and I was like, oh, I'm going to tame that down.
01:14:56I think that was a mistake.
01:14:57Yeah, I had to, I had to aboard again.
01:14:58Good race, brother.
01:14:59Thanks, brother.
01:15:00You can do whatever you want, but I'm going to probably tell you what you need to do against Sean.
01:15:01What?
01:15:02He's not going to hold out.
01:15:03He wants to get the go straight.
01:15:04Uh, we're jacked, man.
01:15:05We've worked our asses off for this.
01:15:06Good race, brother.
01:15:07Now I know where we're at.
01:15:08Get that go straight.
01:15:09I put five pounds in the nose that time, because it was wheeling the whole track, and I was like,
01:15:12oh, I'm going to tame that down.
01:15:13I think that was a mistake.
01:15:14Yeah, I had to, I had to board again.
01:15:17Good race, brother.
01:15:18You can do whatever you want, but I'm going to probably tell you what you need to do against Sean.
01:15:28What?
01:15:29He's not going to hold out.
01:15:30He wants to go in first.
01:15:31Every race, he wants to go in first.
01:15:33Okay.
01:15:34But for me, I go in last.
01:15:35It doesn't bother me.
01:15:36Yeah.
01:15:37But I do know that you like to go in first.
01:15:38So both of y'all are going to be racing to see who can get into the ball first.
01:15:41It's going to be two races.
01:15:42Yeah.
01:15:43He's, be prepared for him to go in quick.
01:15:45Be prepared for him to do the same you're about to do.
01:15:47You're about to double ball.
01:15:48Okay.
01:15:49I 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.
01:15:54And cross.
01:15:55Murdenova has definitely stepped up his game.
01:15:56He won two of the grade eights, including last night's grade eight.
01:15:59So I know that I'm definitely going to have to be on my A game for sure.
01:16:02Right lane's a little rough.
01:16:03So I'm happy that you're in the left lane.
01:16:05I've been in left lane all day.
01:16:06Nobody has went down the right lane yet.
01:16:08You get out there probably around the 3.30.
01:16:09That's what I'm saying.
01:16:10Try to cut a light.
01:16:11Get out there in front and just stay out there.
01:16:13Everybody in the right lane by 3.30 and cars just washing out.
01:16:16Yeah.
01:16:17Callie is very, very intelligent.
01:16:19She's very capable of being able to beat anybody out here on the property.
01:16:22She says she's comfortable the way she's got it going on.
01:16:24So I said, go ahead and rock out with it.
01:16:25Let's see what happens.
01:16:26I hope she pulls off the win and she can go on to the finals.
01:16:28Callie Mills, I raced her one other time this season.
01:16:39She got me.
01:16:40It was a really close race and I owe her one.
01:16:43This is my time.
01:16:44My car's running good right now.
01:16:46I'm going to put a tune up in it that I think it's going to take to outrun her.
01:16:50We're going to go out there.
01:16:51We're going to let off the button and we're going to see if it takes it.
01:16:58And Murder Nova gets the win.
01:17:11That was a race.
01:17:13Hey, that was a race.
01:17:16Damn.
01:17:17She's the quickest to go in that I've had in the past two days.
01:17:23My car kind of got out of shape just a little bit, started driving towards the wall.
01:17:27I was going to ride it to the wall before I lift it.
01:17:30I puckered up a little bit.
01:17:32I, you know, and I thought we was going to scrape the wall just a little bit.
01:17:36At the finish line, it was so close, I wasn't sure who was going to get the win like.
01:17:40Good job, buddy.
01:17:41It was so close.
01:17:42Congratulations.
01:17:43I know, I'm so proud of you.
01:17:44It was so close.
01:17:45But I wanted to say, I'm proud of you.
01:17:47You guys are killing it out there.
01:17:48You never gave up through all the years.
01:17:50I'm tired of beating my head against the wall.
01:17:52I know.
01:17:57You ready, homie?
01:17:58Yeah, brother.
01:17:59You know what's badass?
01:18:00I'm racing for Nova in the finals that weekend.
01:18:01That would be cool with being in the finals, man.
01:18:02I just, it's surreal for me.
01:18:03Look, I'm probably going to cry either way after the race is over.
01:18:04I might cry, too.
01:18:05Maybe we can cry together.
01:18:06Yeah, when I give you a hug at the other end, there'll be tears flowing.
01:18:07I promise.
01:18:08No matter what happens.
01:18:09I know.
01:18:10It's me and Nate Sailor in the finals, and you know, he's got the same combination as me.
01:18:26I know what the thing's capable of.
01:18:27I raced him twice last weekend.
01:18:29I won one, and he won one.
01:18:31And it was two very close races.
01:18:33So at this point, man, whoever gets more aggressive with the tune-up is going to take this win.
01:18:38I feel something weird in my back.
01:18:41There you go.
01:18:42It don't matter who's in the other lane, really.
01:18:44We're racing the racetrack.
01:18:45I'm going to put as much power in it that the racetrack can handle.
01:18:48Sean's on a roll right now, and he's got that momentum.
01:18:51I plan on taking the wind out of his sail right quick.
01:18:54Let's go.
01:18:55Let's go.
01:18:56Let's go.
01:18:57Let's go.
01:18:58Let's go.
01:18:59Let's go.
01:19:00Let's go.
01:19:01Nate's really smart.
01:19:02I'm sure he got a tune-up.
01:19:03He's been rounds already.
01:19:04Got a tune-up and go real fast.
01:19:05Because right now is the time when you want your real fast tune-up.
01:19:08Let it all hang right now.
01:19:10Break your motor, you hurt anything, you got a whole week to fix it.
01:19:13So I feel like today is his day.
01:19:16All right, folks.
01:19:18Here we go.
01:19:20Invitational finals for $40,000.
01:19:24Battle of the Pro Chargers over in the left lane.
01:19:28And that is going to be Nate Saylor going up against Werner Nova.
01:19:33Werner Nova looking to make it two in two days.
01:19:37He won the grade eight half night.
01:19:39Looking to win his very first Invitational right here in Ohio.
01:19:45This is going to be a crack race.
01:19:48$40,000 to win this thing, you know, that goes a long way.
01:19:52And that will help out tremendously.
01:19:54But honestly, man, it ain't about that.
01:19:56I said I wasn't going to sleep until I win an Invitational.
01:19:59And I'm not going to.
01:20:01I think I'm going to take the win.
01:20:18And Nate Saylor wins it all.
01:20:26Wow, what a drag race.
01:20:28It made a good trip.
01:20:30It made a good trip.
01:20:31Yeah, baby!
01:20:33Yes, yes!
01:20:34Doing a row, baby!
01:20:36Yeah!
01:20:37Booyah!
01:20:38Let's go!
01:20:39That's big right there!
01:20:41Woo!
01:20:42Oh, brother!
01:20:44It was a drag race.
01:20:46Oh, I know.
01:20:48Let go of the button.
01:20:49I can hear him over there.
01:20:51And we get to the finish line, and my car actually quits.
01:20:55It dies and noses over, and I saw my wind light come on,
01:21:00and I about crapped my pants.
01:21:02Oh, my God!
01:21:05It's crazy.
01:21:07To come here and win this event is, I can't even put it into words.
01:21:11It's amazing.
01:21:13I'm super grateful.
01:21:14Woo!
01:21:16It's crazy to think that I was sitting on my couch watching all this happen,
01:21:19and now we're here doing it and making history for my family.
01:21:22Hey, hey, hey, hey!
01:21:24I knew it was your night, dude.
01:21:27I knew it was your night.
01:21:28Being that Nate was my number one pick, a lot of people didn't understand why.
01:21:32He wasn't a familiar face.
01:21:33A lot of people didn't know who he was, but I know Nate, man.
01:21:36He's one of my West Coast guys, and he'd get the job done, man.
01:21:39He worked so hard, and him and Damon have been carrying the team, man.
01:21:43And I knew it.
01:21:44He was a diamond in the rough.
01:21:45A lot of people didn't understand who he was, but like I said, after this season,
01:21:48everybody's gonna know who he is.
01:21:50Put your hands together for Nate Sales!
01:21:52Coming in here and winning out in the grade eight, and then coming to the finals of my first Invitational ever.
01:22:04Nice job, baby.
01:22:05Nice job, baby.
01:22:06Good job.
01:22:07I couldn't ask for a better weekend.
01:22:09It was a big night for Team Bodie and Team Murder Nova.
01:22:14They both had drivers go far enough into the event that they passed Ryan Martin's team endpoints.
01:22:20Team Kai and Team Dave still lead the pack, and it's now more evident than ever that it is anyone's championship to win.
01:22:29Oh, we did it, man.
01:22:30We did it, man.
01:22:31We did it, man.
01:22:32We did it, man.
01:22:33Yeah, man.
01:22:34I knew this was your .
01:22:35Nate.
01:22:36Next time on No Prep Kings.
01:22:39After dropping in the rankings...
01:22:41We dropped to number five this week, but we're ten points behind the other three that are in front of us.
01:22:46Team Ryan Martin is trying to find a way to claw their way back up.
01:22:51The car's running fantastic just the way it should be.
01:22:54If you go up there and you're not ready to do your job flawlessly, you're gonna lose.
01:22:59And with five events left, everyone is scrambling to get as many points as they can.
01:23:04It could be my sister, and I'd still want to chop her head off.
01:23:07So they can take home the $200,000 championship.
01:23:10We're running out of time.
01:23:11We're feeling the pressure to start doing well, and I really need to set my game up here.
01:23:15So you know that I'm gonna pick up and find my game up here.
