Previously on The Great Eight.

Top eight drivers heading into
contention battled it out for $10 ,000

the Great Eight Championship.

And Axeman gets the win.

Ty Kelly had a chance to take the lead
after winning his first race, but he

in the semifinals to Kayla Morton. And
Kayla Morton gets the win.

Then, when Kayla lined up for the
finals... I knew it.

Her trans break did not hold, and Axeman
won his first Grade 8 event.

All right, and Larry Roach will get the
win.

And took home $10 ,000, 10 points, and
the Grade 8 points lead. Good job

tonight, brother. Number one, baby.

Ryan Martin is still out of the Grade 8,
and new faces Nate Saylor,

Justin Swanson, and Callie Mills are
coming in looking to get their names on

leaderboard.

Callie Mills will take the win. Nice job
there.

So now, all these top drivers will race
for points towards the individual

championship and a chance to win $10
,000.

Put your hands together for the grade A
drivers.

New England Dragway, how y 'all doing
out there?

Good? Yeah!

We're here in Epping, New Hampshire at
the New England Dragway.

This track has been around since 1966
and has been the premier racing facility

in this part of the country.

Today, it's hosting the Grade 8. This is
the fourth of 14 Grade 8 events spread

across the entire country, and things
are heating up.

Here's how it works. If you win the
Grade 8, you get 10 points. Plus, you

get $10 ,000.

If you runner up, you get seven, and if
you make it to the semifinals, you will

get three.

Those points go towards an individual
championship that will be worth $100

at the end of the season. Heading into
this event, Axeman currently holds the

number one spot in that individual
championship for $100 ,000.

Right on his heels, there are five
racers tied for the second spot.

Tonight, there are three drivers here
for the first time. Callie Mills, Nate

Saylor, and Justin Swanstrom.

And a few of our top competitors, like
Ryan Martin, Axeman, and David Gates,

didn't make it in.

which means they could see their lead
drink tonight.

We're going to have a chip draw now, see
who is going to be paired up.

I'm looking forward to a good weekend.

We definitely need one after last
weekend's show.

I really need to make a show. I need to
make some points. I need to get some

distance between these guys. It's been
raining here for like two weeks, and now

the sun's out, and we're having a good
day of racing.

All right.

Where are my number ones?

Oh, Damon Merchant going up against
Justin Swanstrom, first pair.

Wow. So first round in our grade eight,
we drew Justin Swanstrom.

We knew coming into this deal, he's a
big hitter. He's been coming up through

the ranks the last few seasons, and we
knew he was going to be one of the big

contenders, you know, for the season.

Drawing him first round, he's somebody
that I'd like to see it help us back up

again.

Number two, Kai Kelly versus Giuseppe. I
hope not. Kai Kelly.

Oh, God.

We drew Kai Kelly.

We raced Kai Kelly in Virginia, and he
got us by inches. We broke a couple push

rods on that run. He's right up there. I
mean, he's got to be one of the fastest

guys here.

So we're going to, you know, evaluate
what we've got to do. We know we've got

be on our game and make a good hit right
now.

Number three, step up. Oh, battle of the
females.

Callie Mills versus Lizzie Musi.

I drew Lizzie. I've never raced Lizzie,
actually. It sucks that I drew her

because me and her are friends.

And we actually, last night, we went and
got a pedicure together and kind of,

like, relaxed a little bit before the
race.

Which means my fourth and final pair
will be Nate Saylor versus Scott Taylor.

Man, this is our first Great Eight ever.
We are super excited.

I have not raced Scott Taylor before.
This will be our first race.

Scott's a fast competitor.

He runs another Pro Charge Pro Line
Hemi. So we know we got our work cut out

us. But we think we got a good car, and
we'll try and get that win.

Racers, you know who you're racing. Go
back to the pit. Make your final

adjustments before your first test path.
And good luck.

All right, y 'all.

See ya.

You want to put some money on top of it?

How am I?

Kill me.

A thousand. Whoever goes the farthest
gets all the money. I'm out of a

I'm sort of. Okay.

You want to get in? But y 'all are
welcome to do it.

Five million, man.

Come on, man. A thousand. It's fine.

Five. You in?

It's fine.

You don't have to be in. Yeah, I don't
have to be in. I'll be out. Okay, you're

out? Can we do it after first round?

So whoever goes the farthest will get
the five grand.

Damon, are you in or no?

What did y 'all end on?

$1 ,000. Whoever goes the farthest gets
the five grand. I ain't been showing up

on Fridays. That's hard for me to say
yeah.

Been gapping everybody.

Come on. On Saturday.

Stop. Saturday's good. Friday's the new
Saturday.

You don't want in? He'll cover me.

Sure, I'll cover you. Okay, so that's
five.

All right, if I win, I owe you. If I
don't, I don't.

actually tearing the motor down because
when we started it up, the car was

smoking like a freight train.

So they've got the piston out and it's
cracked.

Saying it's my fault because I ran the
car a little bit too long in Bowling

Green against Scott Taylor.

Scott Taylor!

Taylor is your winner there.

So I've got to make sure I shut the car
off right at the eighth mile because I'm

running a little car.

Right now they're just putting all new
rods and pistons in it. You can see

you've got a little bit of wear there.
Nothing too bad.

It's cracked right there.

My job now is to clean these head
gaskets, get everything cleaned up so

go back together with the motor.

Everything's clean and ready to go.

Is this an emergency or is this just
a... No, it is an emergency.

Yeah, like we can't run it if it's
smoking like that.

It's just going to create more problems.

So eventually then you have to worry
about, you know, getting a piston or

getting a rod or window in the side of
the block. So, yeah, it's definitely,

definitely want to have it all together
before the grade eight tonight.

So that way we can run and have no
problem.

Up now, get some RPM in it and make it
some boo.

Well,

that gives us good data for Swanstrom
first round.

We haven't shown up well on Fridays yet.
The Friday gremlins for us have been a

down injector halfway down the track and
me redlining. We're trying to shake

that monkey off our back.

We're just going to have to get out
there and see if we can prove it.

We're now going to move into...

I'm just looking out there, Joe.

Doing good. We're going to see what
happens.

I finally got in the grade A, and I am
going up against Damon Merchant. I

haven't gotten to race him yet this
year. I did see him make some passes at

other events.

He's extremely fast, and he is extremely
good on the light. He wins a lot of his

races by cutting a good light.

All right, Paul, be careful out there.
Go get this one, boys.

My goal is to try to kill the tree and
try to cut a good light with him. If I

can lead with him or in front of him,
that's even better. But if I can lead

him, I do believe that my car is a
little faster and be able to pull off

win. But if I lead behind him, it's
going to be hard to try to run him down

be able to get this win off.

Here we go.

Late eighth first round coming at you
right now, folks. 10 ,000 to win this

class.

lot of people that's been saying that
Damon's been guessing the light and

jumping he's just cutting a good light
you have those people that are very very

good on the tree and you get caught
sleeping you can be the fastest guy

going home early so you have to be up on
the tree you got to make sure you get a

to b you got to make sure you give
yourself a chance to be able to get to

finish line first

And Justin Swannstrom goes red, gives
the win to Damon Merchant. So Damon

Merchant will move on to the semifinals.

Last race was my first one ever with
Justin Swannstrom.

And I don't know if a little bit of
birdie got in his head or what about the

light situation, but he took a stab at
the tree, went red, and we made a pass

right behind him.

About two seconds into the run, the car
really started shaking.

Transmission ain't up to par with what
we've been running. We've been beating

the thing.

This last five weeks have been real hard
on us, been hard on the car, and we're

starting to see signs of that.

Nonetheless, he went red, we got the W,
and it's on to the second round.

Damn it, boy, where are you going?

I let go of the button.

I hear you.

I just let go of the button early. I let
go of the button and gave the race away

right there on the start line.

Good try. Good job.

Once I seen red, I just got out of it.

I figured you was probably calling it
good.

Save it for tomorrow.

Thanks, Sam. Thanks, brother.

We're here at New England Dragway, and
next up in the grade 8 is Giuseppe

Gentile versus Kai Kelly.

So the belt's got to come out, too, and
everything?

The gear can slide off the bottom.

Oh, wow.

We're going to make some horsepower
right here, boys.

That's it.

Snap ring.

Snap ring in.

We found some material in our oil
filter. So once we got here, I decided

going to change the motor because it's
pushing the thrust out of the motor.

trying to push the crank forward for
some reason. We're having issues with

So that's what we're doing this weekend.
We swap the motor, speed up the blower,

and we'll lean on the tune -up.

Try to win.

Hey, do you want to fire it up in the
air?

Do we need to fire it?

Do you want me to jump in the air? Do we
need to fire it?

Yeah,

if you want to clear everything, just
fire at it.

Have them look underneath or something.

Just want to run it for like 10 seconds,
shut it off? Yeah, just make sure

everybody's looking. Mark, look over
there.

All of these can be beat. He's been beat
before.

We got probably one of the other faster
cars here on the property. Right now

would be a time to prove our point and
show them who's the fastest car here.

How are you going to do in the grade
eight this weekend?

I'm not even in it, but I'm freaking
three points out of the lead. What is

Axeman? He ain't in this weekend.

Yeah, he's number one. He's number one.
He got 13 points. And then me, you,

Ryan, and Guseppe got 10 points.

And you and Guseppe are in it.

So you need to stretch and get the whole
lead in that.

Yeah, it'd be cool if I could get about
10.

Yeah.

So really the only one racing a grade 8
that I'm tied for number 2 with is

Giuseppe, and I drew him. So if I can
beat Giuseppe here, I'll be tied with

Axeman for first place.

Tonight, I really hope that at the end
of the night you win the grade 8 and

you're leading by 10 points.

Absolutely. Because I want that for you.

Because next week, when I win tomorrow,
I'm going to be in the grade 8 when we

come back, and then I'm going to beat
you up. If I win the grade 8 tonight,

going to give you the back tire
tomorrow. I'm going to call you out.

That would be really dumb on your part.

Man, I can't wait until I get that good,
until I get that cocky.

Hopefully by soon. I can't wait.

He's beating me to death this year. I
figure if we do a race that he thinks he

can win, maybe I'll win it.

Yeah. That's another thing, you know,
with, like, me and Lizzie splitting up

all.

I don't know that she's not going to
want to trade, and I really don't want

trade her. I'd rather just y 'all talk
to her if she don't want to talk to me.

You know what I'm saying? That's fine.

She's a killer. I mean, she makes a
strong team. Obviously, I'm sure they

probably don't want to leave either
because they know how strong your team

Disco mentioned that he would trade
Jerry Bird for Lizzie if they wanted to,

I know why.

Lizzie's killing points, and Jerry's
still racing his way in.

Yeah. Could me and Adam fix Jerry's car?
I think so, but then we're going to

have a killer on our hands.

That's it, probably.

He's always fast when you get his car to
go.

But for now, I want to keep losing to
you. I agree.

I mean, I absolutely agree. Yeah, leave
that decision to her. Like, she broke

up. She dumped your ass. I can't say
that I blame her. Look at you. You know

what I mean?

So, she dumped you.

Yeah. So, let her make the decision. If
she wants to be trading, we'll support

her either way. I mean, I think she's a
good asset to the team. Yeah, I think

she's a good asset, and I think that
they know it, too.

So, good team.

All right, guys.

I remember Adam's beating himself up. We
went out first round last week, and

Adam slept in the trailer with no air
conditioning.

Last time I raced this epi, he was out
on me. He was probably out on me about a

half a car.

I caught him right at the finish line
and barely beat him. So his car's

definitely fast.

He's been really consistent.

The car's working good. So he's nobody
we can take for granted. We got to go

there and give him our best. We're going
to beat him.

This will work, you know. Oh, just make
a minor adjustment.

I'm trying not to.

There's a lot of weight hanging way out
there, though.

Good luck, sir. Be safe. Good luck.

Thank you.

And over in the left lane, that is going
to be Giuseppe.

And over in the right lane, that's going
to be Ty Kelly.

going to take the win. Nice job there.

Great pass.

Me and Giuseppe laid the other button.

We was pretty much side by side all the
way to about mid track.

And then my front end started coming up
a little bit and I started driving away

from him. It's always a real good race
with him as far as super fast.

It's a huge win for us because what that
does is that takes us out of second

place in the grade eight and puts us
tied for first. And it puts Giuseppe

He's one of the guys I was tied with in
second.

Best draw for us. Probably one of the
fastest cars on the premises, but we

glad to be able to draw him and beat
him. What happened, man?

You had to lift?

No, I was right there, and then, I don't
know, I was moving around, but good

race. It was a good race. I see both of
our tires.

Go, go, and you were there, and then I'm
like, damn, he's got me. I ain't

running. Actually, you pulled me in the
middle. Yeah, that's what I just told

him. You pulled me in the middle,
because I was like, oh, I got him, I got

and the thing laid over.

When I pulled the chutes, though, I
don't think I ran a roll, but, man, I

tap the brakes or nothing.

It was bloshing around. I heard
something. I heard something on my car

blah, blah, blah. I got some bump out
there. Yeah, some. It was moving around.

Good job.

That was a good race, though. No, me and
you was only two in the grade eight. I

know.

Whenever one of us won, I was like,
damn, man.

So as of right now, grade eight's over.
We're out. We've got to focus on

tomorrow, focus on the team event, and
earn some points so we can stay in that

grade eight for next week. I definitely
don't like pulling you, Debbie, if that

matters. I don't want to pull you
either. I'm like, damn it, man.

the ignition's off when you do that.

No, it wasn't off, but it was on.

So make sure it's off before you do
that.

Got a little pressure. We got
everything. It's not smoking like a

anymore, so that's good.

We're freshened up. We're ready to go.
Never been in the grade eight.

Next pair coming at you right now. Going
to be a battle of the females over in

the right lane. That's going to be
Callie Mills going up against Lizzie

the left.

I'm just going to do my thing, go out
there, hopefully be good on the tree and

do my best to get it shut down right at
the line so we don't have any carnage

tonight.

No prep is in New Hampshire. Next up,
it's Lizzie Mucey versus Callie Mills.

It's a bit overcast, and the track is
looking fast so far. So we'll see how

power these two try to put down.

Kelly Mills, congrats.

Good job.

And we both win at the same time. Oh, I
know.

I was like, well, I have a brake
pressure issue. Like, we have been

them. And I was like, hey, the brake
pressure is, like, messed up. And they

didn't drain it. Well, I didn't know. My
dad said you were having issues. So I

was like, take my time. So I was waiting
for you to. No, you're good. And then

my freaking glasses fogged up. So I just
took them off. I was like, I'm done

with this. Well, you did badass.

Good job.

Bugs look good. Car look good.

We got Scott Taylor.

So this is our individual championship
tonight. You guys know that. Like, this

is our grade 8 deal. Right.

Okay. Well, we'll pop it off and have it
ready. Yeah, let's get it popped off.

We'll get it down on the ground, put it
all back together, make sure she's

polished. I like a nice, clean car.

And then we'll be ready to roll.

Oh, yeah, boy. All right. Thanks, guys.

I'm Nate Taylor. I'm from Billings,
Montana.

I drive a 67 Nova.

It was easy to go fast last week.

This week it's going to be racing the
racetrack. It's going to be a matter of

whether you can get down from A to B and
do it as quickly as you can without

pouring the coals to it. Hopefully we
can be 1 -0 after this.

All right, I'm going to fire it up. We
got Nate Saylor, and he's new this year,

but that don't mean nothing about his
program because he's rolling.

I know he's fast. Heck, he took out Ryan
Martin last week.

Fair and old.

We're gonna throw everything we got at
it is the deal All right, we just put

right tune up in there. I'm gonna treat
him like I was running Ryan We're not

gonna leave anything on the table

Over in the left lane, that's going to
be Nate Taylor going up against Scott

Scooter Taylor in the go right.

Scott Taylor trying to get it stopped.

Definitely had something go wrong there.

Yeah.

I got up and turned on my light. He sat
there for a while and let me think about

it. Turned on that second light, and we
left with him, and Scott broke tumbles

all over the place. But if we leave with
him or on him, they're in trouble.

Did you win, Nate? Yeah. Good. Good job,
Nate.

The new guys and girls are coming
around. Looks good.

Chuck, Scotty had some problems, but
we're on to the final four of the grade

eight.

We got a hot rod.

Oh,

it could have been worse. It could have
been.

I know it toasted the drive shaft. I can
tell you all that. I got carbon from

here.

We're going to fix it.

I got another drive shaft, but I got to
build a wishbone tonight somehow.

I don't think we've got a choice if
we're going to race tomorrow. We're just

going to have to make this one work. I
don't know what else to do.

We broke the wishbone.

It's a bad deal. The wishbone keeps the
hole we're in under the car.

It feels like you're on ice when this
breaks.

I'm happy we didn't wreck the car.

We borrowed one from Brandon James.

We're trying to make this one work.

We've got a lot of season left.

We're going to get the car fixed, and
we're going to find a way to race

tomorrow.

We're going to get this grade eight
semifinals drivers meeting going here.

I said, we started with eight. We are
now down to four. This is the

Look, good news.

All of my drivers here, you're now at
least guaranteed to make three points in

this grade eight tonight. Also, good
news, Kai Kelly, no longer number two in

the individual.

You're now tied for number one. I like
it. Yeah.

Here's your chance to take the lead,
man. This is your chance. How does this

feel? It just feels awkward, man. I
don't really like this spot, you know? I

hear you, man. Anytime I think of number
one in Kai Kelly, it's awkward. It's

real awkward, man. So you're right. All
right, here we go.

All my drivers have their chips.

Where are my number one?

Ooh.

Cali Mills and Nate Saylor.

Cali Mills and Nate Saylor, which
means...

Our second pair will be Damon Merchant
versus Kai Kelly.

I feel like I've seen this race a couple
times this year, maybe a couple. How

many times have you all raced?

Three? Four.

This will be four. This will be four.
This will be four. What is your record,

Kai, against Damon?

3 -0, but we haven't both made a good
pass.

So you're saying if he makes a good
pass, he's probably going to win?

I hope not, but, I mean, I'd like to see
it.

Not win, but see you make a good pass.

He's going to have to show you what you
mean. He's trying to make a race out of

it. Okay.

All right, y 'all. You know who you're
racing.

Go back to the pits. Get your cars
turned around.

Get them in the staging lanes.

And let's give away $10 ,000 to one of
you. How's that sound? Sounds good to

All right, man. Let's go.

I'm facing Nate Saylor.

He's super fast, new guy on the block,
but he's not someone to take lightly.

Very fast car, very good driver.

Ow! Can we not? I have a headache.

So I'm going to have to do my job on the
tree, and hopefully we got a good tune

-up that will get us down the track in
front of him, because if I leave behind

him, I'm screwed.

Semifinals, we got to Cali Mills. We got
the left lane again.

We're going to put another hot rod tune
-up in this baby.

Track's getting better. It's getting
cooler. You can feel the temperature's

cooling off really quick. I honestly
don't ask the tuners here today, so I

even think about it.

I let him put what he thinks is going to
run in the car. I let go of the button,

and hopefully we got enough.

Yeah! She's ready!

All right, first pair here in the
great... semifinals over in the right

That's going to be Callie Mills.

Callie Mills over there in the Camaro
going up against Nate Saylor in the left

lane.

Up next, it's our first semifinals race
between Tally Mills and Nate Singer.

Both of these two are new to the Grade
8, and the winner moves on for a chance

at 10 points and $10 ,000.

Go into the finals.

We're in

the finals at the grade eight. Hey,
these guys, they're out here. We're

it. They're fast.

Fast, fast, fast.

And every race is so close. So hopefully
we'll have something for them in the

finals.

You know, the race didn't go as we
wanted, obviously, but it was a good

and that's what we asked for.

They're fast, and they did a great job
wheeling it. It was by inches. I was

watching the scoreboard to see whose
light came on. It was so close.

Hats off to her.

I got a good team behind me. Everybody
here is working their asses off to try

and get us in the winner's circle, and I
have no doubt that we're going to do

that. Thanks, buddy.

That was close.

Yeah.

I had to look up.

I can't believe that we're actually
going into the finals.

Well, right now you're at seven points.
You win, you're at ten. You're tied with

four other drivers for the $100 ,000.
Oh, yeah, it's a different point.

So, hey, I got the $1 ,000 right here.

I'm going to give it to Justin to hold
or what? Yeah, yeah. Because I might

leave just in case. Yeah, that's good
with me. I'll make sure, you know.

Yeah, Drew, diamond merchant.

I've already raced Damon three times,
and all three times I won, but something

happened.

Hey, Ty Kelly's going to get the win.

Hey, Ty Kelly nailed the three.

Both drivers go red.

Damon leads first.

So I'd like to do a good side -by -side
race and prove to him that my car's

faster here.

Against Bowman, you were on the chip
super short.

I'm going to get Kai at Brainerd and see
what it did.

That one was a real short one.

When we get back, we pull data, and
converter charge pressure looked really

different than before.

So we kind of think that the dump valve
may be sticking. It may not be happy.

Hey, do you have any dastic caps
available?

Yeah.

I got a cap off my belt.

Ours is acting weird.

Oh. And Joe wants to just turn it off
because he thinks it's hanging.

Yeah, if it's hanging, you want to shut
it off. Why is it weak out there?

Yeah.

Like that?

Yeah,

no problem. Okay, thank you. No problem.

I'm a bum.

That's all right.

We think the trans brake's acting up.
The dump valve and the transmission is

sticking open.

So we're just going to cap it off and
act like it ain't there. You know, see

what the car does.

When you race, Kai, you just got to kind
of swing for it. And that's kind of

been what's happening lately.

And he's fast.

Take nothing away from him. Just got to
get your together.

And we just ain't had it together since
every time we draw him for some reason.

Lo and behold, you're on Kyle Kelly
again.

At some point, I'm going to have to get
a win over that guy.

I mean, he's been my kryptonite this
season. With us doctoring up the dump

valve, you know, we can make a race out
of it and see who actually is faster.

All right, guys. Good luck, man.

We're still tied for number one. So
winning the grade eight tonight is huge.

got to beat Damon right here because $10
,000 to win and it's 10 points.

That would put me with 20 points over
accident 13.

So I'd be leading a grade 8 by a second
place finish.

I need to get one of those big jumps,
see three points at a time. They really

just don't add up.

We're good.

I feel like it might be the night.

Shakes us off our back. The curse of Kai
Kelly.

He brought from New Orleans.

He's fast.

Who? Kai. Oh, yeah.

The car's hauling ass up front, so I'm
just going to... Do whatever we can to

put his ass on the trailer.

All we're going to do is try to be on
the tree this time. Think if I can leave

the line with him, we'll have a hell of
a race and try to get this monkey off my

back of the car.

Going to the finals of the Grade 8.

Nice drag race there, but Kai Kelly able
to get the win.

With that pass right there, it makes
sure that I steal the number one spot in

the Grade 8. So that pass is huge for
us.

When me and Damon left, it felt like we
left about the same time. All the way to

about 330 feet, he was probably right
beside me or a little in front of me.

my car shifted, went to high gear, and
it went to making a move on him. So it

was definitely a good side -by -side
race. One of them deals where you're

looking up to see who won.

Tonight, we've got 11 o 'clock curfew
here, so we're going to have to finish

final of the Great Eight in the heat
tomorrow.

I think we hit it at the same time. I
was thinking, oh,

God.

That's a badass pass, man.

Thanks. That was a fun race. That was a
good race. We finally got a good race. I

know. Well, now we know. Now we know.
Good job, baby.

It did make a hell of a hit off the
line.

The car seemed like it did really good
all the way to the 500 -foot mark.

And, you know, the chatter was still
there that we were fighting earlier, but

wasn't nearly as aggressive. It was just
enough to make a move and let him come

around us. And I don't know if it's just
some curse he brought from New Orleans

with him or what, but he noses me out by
probably a bumper.

So still got that monkey on my back.
We're just going to have to go into

Saturday and see if we can catch him
there somewhere and get him out of this

deal. Finally get a race with him, and
it's just...

Mom already called me. She's like, it
was a bumper.

It went the whole way, though.

It was a good race.

Yeah, very good.

We're inching our way into this at the
top, actually.

If we came in, we'd stay there.

In New Hampshire, there's a curfew at
the track, meaning we have a hard cutoff

for racing.

We weren't able to get to the Grade 8
finals in time, so Kai and Callie will

have to race tomorrow.

If I can win right here, I can be number
one in points, grade eight.

Get a little further away from you while
you're not racing with us. Well, you're

tied with me right now. No, I'm tied
with number one, bud.

Don't get too cocky right here because
you can fuck up.

I can fuck up and still be ahead of you,
though.

No, you can't. If you lose right now,
then you're tied.

No, you're three points ahead.

Yeah. I told you I wanted you to win it.
I know. You can beat 10 points ahead of

me. Yeah.

Because you're going to need that lead
whenever we get.

It is Saturday here at New England
Dragway, and we are getting ready to see

finals from last night's grade eight,
which we weren't able to finish because

the curfew.

Ty Kelly is taking on... Callie Mills.

And look, now that the sun is out, these
drivers are going to have to figure out

a totally different type of racing
condition.

Everything good?

Yes, ma 'am.

I feel pretty confident. I think this is
definitely a good race for us.

So here we are, sunny New Hampshire.

It's getting warm out. The track's
getting hot.

And we're about to run the grade eight
finals against Kai Kelly.

You know, Justin's raced Kai a couple
times and it's been close.

So we kind of have that data from them
to know what Kai runs.

And I've kind of figured out what I've
needed to do. Like I was on the light

last night, really good yesterday.

So I just have to continue to do that
today. And I think we'll have a hard

to beat.

Give them as much pain and discomfort as
we can. Are you feeling dangerous?

Yeah, I was feeling dangerous yesterday
and today.

Are you working on your war cry?

No, I'm not doing the war cry.

No matter what you think.

That's what I worry about, man.

I think you plan and you prepare and
something stupid happens.

Don't go red. Don't suck.

Because she's making good runs. I
watched every pass she made last night.

She's not going to cut the tree down
like you did.

She's fast.

And they got it together and they worked
hard.

Did she outrun Nate Saylor?

No, she outran him.

That's scary. By pretty much the car.

That's pretty scary.

But Nate was laid on the tree.

Was he? Yeah.

As fast as these cars are now, if you
give up anything, you're whooped. You're

whooped. Only bad thing is you're racing
a final in the heat of the day.

Pretty much everything that we learned
Friday night in the grade 8, we're going

to throw all that out the window and
start back over because we've got a hot

racetrack. It's green.

So it's a tuner's game here. We know
Kelly's car has been bad fast, but we've

got a fast, hot ride too.

I feel like our tuner is more.

Conservative than theirs, though, so I
hope they don't shoot from the hip and

sticks. You know how that happens
sometimes.

Yeah. That's the problem when you're up
on top, man. Everybody shoots at you

hard. Every time it sticks.

We are now moving into the grade A final
between Callie Mills and Kai Kelly.

No matter what, we are in this.

I'm not that worried about it. I'm
feeling really confident.

If I go out there and do my job and give
Kai a good race, I'll be happy. But

I'll be extremely happy when we come out
with the win.

All right, here we go. Great eighth
final. Tenth out for the win right here.

Never good to wake up first thing in the
morning and have to race a final race

for big money. It's $10 ,000 on the
line. I've only been up for a couple

I really haven't woke up yet. I'm not a
morning person.

And here we are. We're going right into
battle, straight off the trailer for a

$10 ,000.

Ocali Mills in the left lane. Ty Kelly
in the right.

Battle of the blower cards coming at you
right now. The winner is $10 ,000 and

10 points towards the individual
championship.

Kai Kelly, $10 ,000 and 10 points in the
individual championship race.

Bro,

that was a race.

So me and Kelly let go of the button.

Side -by -side race.

She actually pulls in front of me a
little bit.

Put it into high gear and come on
around.

So far, this old Buick has won us a
bunch of races on the big end.

This thing's going to be nasty, and I
don't think nobody here can touch it.

Kelly, that was really impressive,
right?

Good job.

I think it was close.

I was looking up at the tree. I mean, at
the finish line. I didn't know who won.

Yeah, I didn't know. It was close. You
was in front of me pretty much the whole

way, and I started pulling on you on the
big end. Big end, yeah. We won our

first grade eight this year, and it's
badass.

I get nervous when I'm in the finals.

Really?

It puts me seven points ahead of
everybody. So I'm leading number one,

some space. Somebody has to finish at
least number two to catch me.

I was looking up at the scoreboard.
There was no way you could tell who won.

looked close from the starting line. She
was in front of me almost the whole

way. I bet.

Well, we know who's running just like us
now.

Everybody.

All right, that's it for the Grade 8
here at New England Dragway. Kai Kelly

his first Grade 8 win and is taking home
$10 ,000 and, more importantly, 10

points. Callie Mills came in second with
seven points, and Damon and Nate Thaler

each got three.

That puts Ty in a strong lead for the
overall Grade 8 championship and the

,000 grand prize.

Next week on The Grade 8, the top
drivers head to Oklahoma and battle for

and points towards the Grade 8
championship.

Ty Kelly, number one right now, man.

Hold it down. Don't forget, this is the
individual championship, $100 ,000 for

the person with the most points in the
Grade 8 at the end of the season.

Ty Kelly, try to hold on to his rules.

Wow,

David Merchant.

Spraying oil everywhere again.

And Justin Swannstrom, look for
redemption.

Isn't that a pretty big swing?

I mean, I think so, but it's up, I
guess.
