Last week at No Prep Kings, we saw the leaderboard get completely

shook up.

After another challenging week for Team Kai Kelly, they gave up the number one

spot. Kayla Borden gets the win. Kai Kelly up against the wall.

That could have been bad.

Meanwhile, Team Daddy Dave got 120 points and secured the number one spot.

Haley Morton led the way by going to her second finals of the year.

Keep carrying us this week.

Sometimes you just have that feeling when you let go of the button, like this

the one.

Plus, Paige Coughlin made it to the third round of her first event ever.

Paige Coughlin gets the win!

Paige has proven to be a pretty good pig.

Kai Kelly's team is now down in fourth place.

You gotta think he might be making some changes before the next race.

Here we go!

Tulsa, Raceway Park.

Home to a few of us. Your home, really, in my backyard.

Hotter than Hades.

Oh, my God. So you know the track's going to be.

Let's welcome Kyle back first.

I made it. You missed New Hampshire.

We brought Paige in to replace you.

She did amazing in New Hampshire.

As a team, we've got to make a decision because I can't have six people.

This week we're in Tulsa, Oklahoma, hometown track for me. Right now my team

sits number one in points, and I'm looking to stay there. Let her trip

she'll be on Kai's team.

What did you just say?

I said let you trip once, and you'll be on Kai's team. Damn.

Sounds like something's in the works. I don't know.

Hey, Kai has called me and texted me almost every day begging, begging.

for her he's ready to give me two for her kai has been blowing my phone up at

least five times a week trying to get kayla martin off my team he wants to

kayla for lizzie um not gonna happen ever in the lifetime okay let's do it

take number one let's leave here number one in points yes that's the most

important part no matter who's in the five leaving number one is the priority

and getting a little gap on kai a big gap big big gap we're here at

Tulsa Raceway Park for our fifth points race of the season.

How you doing, brother? How you doing, brother? Doing great, brother.

Good luck. Thank you.

And as you know, everything is about teams this year. But some teammates are

getting along better than others. For example, the teammates that used to be

engaged. I don't have to talk to her. You can talk to her.

You can tell her what our plan is, whatever.

If she feels awkward that way, I don't, it's up to her.

I basically haven't talked to him for probably since the last race.

So I don't know about the whole team situation where that stands. Is he,

trading you? I don't know. So I keep hearing rumors.

Hello. What's up? What's up?

We've had five weeks since our last race, and things have gotten a little

tense between Kai and Lizzie.

This is Jeffrey. This is Keith.

She even brought her new boyfriend, NASCAR racer Jeffrey Earnhardt, to the

And, yes, he's related to Dale.

They're pulling for you and Lizzie. They just said that. Oh, yeah? Yeah.

It seems like there's been some talks between Dave and Kai of a possible

But it's been a little confusing and hard to figure out.

So I'm going to step in, be the friendly mediator that I am, and try to get this

ironed out.

You are in a running for a championship.

Do you agree?

Yeah. So part of me would think that, you know, there's a lot of money to be

in this championship.

If you can put some differences aside, you know she's got a fast car.

Everybody knows me and Lizzie split up. She's kind of wanted to not be on my

team because it makes it feel awkward for her.

I see she's possibly got a new boyfriend all over the Internet.

I'm not mad at that dude. I'm glad for him. I wish him good luck. But she still

wants to be off the team, and the only thing is I'm not going to trade her for

somebody that sucks, you know, because Lizzie is definitely a valuable player

for your team. She does good. She wins rounds. I didn't plan on trading her at

all. Okay. You know?

Because I wasn't going to let ego affect me from winning the championship.

Yeah. But this morning, they come to me with a pretty good scenario about

trading Lizzie for X -Man.

Oh, wow. X -Man is always a big player in everything he does.

He can drive.

He's got a lot of experience. He's always got a fast time ride. I don't

he's as fast as Lizzie can go, but I feel like he's probably a little more

consistent than Lizzie is.

All right, I'll be right back, Kai.

All right, man.

As far as you're concerned right now, you're still on Team Kai. Yep.

Okay. Oh, God, I'm sweating now.

No, don't sweat.

So here we go.

Positive or negative? I had a great conversation with Kai. Oh, that's good.

was great. Okay. And it turns out you have options.

You have options. Yeah.

Kai, he gave me two options.

Two. For you. And he said he is 50 -50 on both. He does not lean in one way or

the other.

First option.

First option.

You get traded for Axeman.

You would go to Team Daddy Dave, which I don't know if you know where Team Daddy

Dave is in points right now.

But are they going to want to do that?

Yeah. Or the second option is you stay on his team and

y 'all go win a championship.

And he's perfectly fine with that as well.

All he says is that all he asks is that you just strap in your car and race your

race and get the W.

That's it.

It's hard seeing your ex and racing with your ex. Like, it's just a hard

situation. You know, we got a lot more races to go, and we're all going to get

tired. We're all going to be in the heat of the moment, and I think it's just

best for us to just kind of go our own ways. I'm surprised by the option I did

have for that. Yeah, and that was nice of him to kind of give you options.

Here we go.

My team captain, how's it going?

We're in Tulsa.

Tulsa, my Oklahoma friend.

And the slogan for this weekend is doing it for Dale. That is the slogan for

this weekend.

Here we

go. We got our

senior citizens again. Oh, technology.

Anyways, you know, in this meeting, this is where we look at possible guys that

are in the reserve pool.

This is where you make your trades, if there are any, right?

Cody, why is Doc in the reserve pool? I thought he was on your team.

We finally got my car running. So now that's going to be your pick then.

going to drop Doc into the reserve pool. Put me back in, yeah. Okay. All right.

Dean, these are your picks right here. Who? What's your name? Clay Cole. Clay

Cole. What's your name? Jimmy Taylor. Jimmy Taylor. Dean's list picks are

Taylor. All right. And who are you? Marty Robertson. Where's he at? He

out. All right.

Next up, Team Murillo.

Randy is injured.

His shoulder. He fell in Bowling Green.

Marilla, what is your choice?

Mr. Cole.

Clay Cole. All right, cool.

Perfect. Muranova. Yeah, feel good?

I mean, no, I'm going to take Doc.

Who are you dropping?

Manny. Okay.

Manny lost his ride, man.

Manny has been in every round, and he actually is second in points on my team.

He lost his ride. At that point, he's got no ride. I've got to trade him out.

Doc, come over to Team Murder Nova.

Doc doesn't even have to race his way in because Manny was already in the

Invitational. So we're good to go. We got all five cars in, including a

newcomer, Doc.

Kai, what are you doing with your team? Right now, I'm going to put Mike

Chandler in the reserves, and I don't give a fuck if I got four people.

God damn.

Booyah! What happened? Why are you mad at Mike Chandler? So your move is to

Mike Chandler and not pick nobody up. You're running with four. You dislike

that much. To make things more complicated, we're on the street is that

Chandler may or may not have made some moves on Lizzie post -breakup, and Kai

did not appreciate that.

Not only is Kai looking to trade Lizzie for Axeman, he's also looking for

someone to replace Mike Chandler. In the meantime, though, he's going to roll

with just four racers. Okay, Swanstrom.

Your turn.

There's only one person left? It's like a double -edged sword. Me and Kyle are

pretty tight.

Yeah, so are you going to pick up Mike Chandler?

I don't know what to do.

Take Mike Chandler.

I just don't want to help him. That's up to you.

And? Take Chandler for Tim Brown.

All right, so Swanstrom, you've picked up Mike Chandler, who basically tried to

steal your boy's girl.

Sorry,

Kyle. I probably ain't buddies no more. I wouldn't be buddies.

All right. So, Kai, you're trying to work a trade. Yeah.

Dave, how about Lizzie for Axeman?

What? Pretty good trade. Oh, yeah.

Wow.

Lizzie for Axeman. That is 100 % on the table.

And I will have you an answer shortly.

There's a conversation that needs to happen.

Who's the conversation with?

That would be Axeman.

Axeman helped us get to number one, and I hate to do that.

Is it a smart trade? Absolutely.

Like Lizzie, when she's on and her whole team's on, she wins.

I'm on a fence, and the wind is not blowing. So if the wind blows one way or

other, I'm going to fall to that side.

I want to make the right choice and the smart choice to win the championship.

We need to know now, right? We don't. Well, if it's now, then no.

Lizzie, it's your problem.

Raceway Park, how y 'all doing today?

Hey!

You all want to see some badass racing, is that right?

All right.

If you haven't noticed, it's very hot.

Make sure you're drinking lots of fluids today, and by fluids, I am not

predominantly talking about beer.

Oh, my God.

Race Your Way In is over, and there's been some last -minute changes before

draw. Dave dropped Dominator and picked up his original teammate, Kyle Canyon.

Then Murillo dropped newcomer Clay Cole and put Dominator back on his team.

That allowed Kai to pick up Clay and put his team back at five racers.

I thought it was already talked about. Apparently it wasn't. Lizzie and Axeman.

Nope, Dave said it's off the table. I'm not doing it.

Meanwhile, Dave is sticking to his guns on the Lizzie and Axeman trade.

Lizzie's going to stay on Kai's team, and we'll see how that pans out.

32 drivers, they're going to battle it out for $40 ,000.

The team with the most points at the end of the season will win a $200 ,000

team joint prize.

Matchups for round one are set, and there are a few races I'm keeping my eye

Lizzie is going up against Chuck from Ryan's team.

And I'm willing to bet that Lizzie's going to show that this drama is not

to affect her racing.

Team leaders Justin Swanstrom and Ryan Martin will face off, and they put $1

,000 on the side.

Finally, Kai will go up against Doc Love in the last race of the round.

Kai is looking to get a win to put the team back on track, while Doc is looking

to prove to his new team captain, Murder Nova, that he deserves to be on the

team.

We are going to go racing the invitational class, the main event, $40

win. Someone's going to get that money tonight.

Here we go.

First round invitational coming at you right now.

Well, I got Paige.

She's definitely consistent, and she's got the resources, so she's going to be

tough. You know, we drew Paige, and they got a good program.

We fell from first to fourth last race.

$200 ,000 is a lot of money to us. We want the gold medal in the team

championship, and we want to go back to the top.

We drew David Gates, first pair, right lane. I mean, that's what we wanted. But

I earned my spot here this weekend. I raced my way in. I turned on those two

wind lights, and now I get to play with the big boys. So I'm super excited.

My team's sitting at number one going into the first round. We're at 420

with all five of my teammates in.

That's 50 points first round automatically for me.

Paige got Gates.

That's the only one I have concern with.

Gates may trip on us to nothing.

So we're going to hope that happens.

Get the win in a close drag race there. Wow.

Paige Coughlin having to drive it down there.

Got a little out of shape.

Thank you.

Good race.

I feel good to get that first round behind us. They're a good team, good

competitors. She's a good driver. And they ain't going nowhere. And we're

to be here hopefully at the end of the night standing right here. My goal.

Good race.

Thank you. You too.

Thank you.

Woo.

Next pair coming at you right here, we've got B -Rad going up against

James.

Brandon James, that young man is coming along.

He's made some very good licks this weekend.

Going into the invite, every time, we've had all five people in.

Just getting people in is not cutting it.

We're sitting in sixth place right now.

We need to do more than get all five people in. We've got to go round,

otherwise we're going to look up, half the season's going to be over, and

there's no time to catch up.

We've got to get our together, get some passes made, and win some rounds.

And then James wheels up, driving that thing in the right lane.

That's why I picked that guy, man. A to B. Every time, man. Every time.

A to B, man.

We still got it.

Yes.

Yeah.

Lizzie versus Chuck Seitzinger coming up right now.

Thank you

And today's the official invitational race.

We got a new car for the rest of the season. It was in the works. In the

beginning of the season, we decided to build a new car. The reasons being is

because we want to try to get down to weight.

I'm literally 90 pounds lighter than the other car. And that is a huge jump.

She looks identical to the other car.

You won't know unless I throw the pink lights on. So there you go.

This sleeve has seen better days in life.

There has been.

like this whole trade -off between me and X -Men. I really don't care either

at this point. I just want to come out here, race, and kick ass. That's it.

So we got to be on our game. It's really hot.

That throws a curveball for everyone.

Let's do this.

Hey, Chuck will drive this.

I promise. I said, come over here if you just want to.

I'm really happy with my team. We're sitting third. We're 70 off of first

And that swing is easy to make up in one race. Hell, honestly, we could leave

this race in first place position if the cards fall right. But what needs to

happen is we all need to win.

All right, next pair coming at you right now over in the right lane. That's

going to be Chuck Seitzinger going up against Lizzie Mucey in the left lane.

Lizzie versus Chuck Seitzinger.

Coming up right now.

All

right,

next pair coming at you right now. Over in the right lane, that's going to be

Chuck Seitzinger.

Going up.

Against Lizzie. You see.

That's going to be Larry Larson going up against Kayla Morton.

The only thing I don't like about it is standing on the brakes hard enough. Man,

it's hard on carving brakes.

Oh, yeah. I don't even have to do that. Maybe I'm not that fast.

You don't weigh enough. That's the problem.

All right. Good luck. All right. Thank you. We'll do Kayla again. We had her

first round in Brainerd and ran extremely well up there.

Her wind light came on, we lost, and I think we owe her one.

Kayla drew Larry Larson.

Kayla left nice. She had kind of strapped it better.

They put her old motor back in, and that's a reliable motor.

Chase, the tuner, knows what that motor likes, don't like. So, complete

confidence that Chase is going to do what he needs to do to get Kalen out

and get the win.

Carson will take the win there.

Wow.

Two of my peoples out.

Yeah. Woo!

Paid her back for that one.

That's got to hurt for Team Daddy Dave as Kayla Morton loses in the first round

after going to the finals last week.

She will be on the bench for the rest of the day.

Up next, we've got Chuck 55 versus Callie Mills.

This is definitely my least favorite round.

Be safe, girl. Thanks, you too.

You bet.

Hey, we need to tell him to pick better.

Yes, I know.

I draw a fifth pair, left lane, and it's Callie Mills.

She's been driving ever since she's been driving junior dragsters. She's an

experienced driver.

Oh, I got 1 ,000 on this one. We need Callie to win this one.

Being team captain, it's about me stepping up and leading my team.

And when you're at the starting line, a lot of these guys are nice guys.

I'm the captain. I'm the captain.

We need the 10 points, and 10 points is 10 points. So when I saw Callie's car

throwing oil on the line, I wouldn't put him on the clock. I don't need Chuck to

worry about what they're going to think about him.

I'm cool with them thinking whatever they want to think about me. I'm the

captain. I'll put myself in that situation for Chuck.

Hey, hey, hey, I put them on the clock. I put them on the clock.

Hey, I'm here to beat y 'all.

Unfortunately, Murder Nova put us on the clock.

All right, so Callie Mills got a small leak over here. Going to put them on a

two -minute clock.

Got two minutes to get it fixed or 255 to win this race.

It's all right, it's all right, it's all right.

Anybody got a zip tie?

Zip tie.

Give me a couple zip ties.

Give me a rag and zip ties.

It's all right. Rag and zip ties. I need a couple.

They're going to wrap it all up and something on it. It's coming out of the

catch can.

40 seconds or so left to get it fixed.

We were trying to hurry, hurry, and then I heard someone yell, 40 seconds.

If Chuck 55's car was broken and he needed a little bit extra time, I

would have given him all the time that he needed to fix it.

All right, you're good.

Come on. Let's put it together. Let's go.

Let's go.

What's the time, Boosted?

About 20 seconds.

Put the front end on. Put the front end on. All right. Put the front end on.

Good? Put the front end on. It's okay. Let's go. Put the front end on. Put the

hood on. So that is going to be two minutes there. Let's go.

drove her, but I just didn't get it. I didn't know it had oil all the way out

there. I thought it was just right here. If it had oil all the way out there, we

should have stopped it. It was still leaking, too. Yeah, I moved her over.

is what it is, man. It was a good drag race. And it was a drag race.

All right, folks, the next pair coming at you right now.

We've got Mike Chandler going up against Robin Roberts.

First round, I draw Mike Chandler.

It's new. This is his first event. We're going to go show him an introduction to

how the big boys play racing.

I went ahead and picked up Mike Chandler for Tim Brown.

Hopefully, he's able to go out there and win his race.

Yeah, I'm really excited about today. I think we're going to pick up big points

for Swanstrom's team. We're going in strong. I think we're going to make some

big waves today.

All

right,

folks, the next pair coming at you right now. We've got Mike Chandler going up

against Robin Roberts.

That line's fine. There ain't nothing wrong with that.

Next pair coming up, the Rich Bruder.

He's going to face off against Scott Taylor.

I'd give up a little G -meter so it don't shake.

The G -meter won't be quite as good at 6 '3 versus 6 '5.

It's definitely tightened up.

Yeah. So first round of the Invitational, I drew the Bruder

Not exactly who I wanted to draw.

Last race, I had some issues on the starting line.

We ended up breaking the wishbone, breaking the drive shaft, and nothing to

with the Bruder brothers. All my own fault.

But he picked up the win last time, and I'm wanting to get that back.

I made minor, minor changes.

This heat, you're going to hear a lot of people talking about not making as much

boost and things like that.

We're going to have to lean on the motors even harder, so...

That's going to bring more damage and parts failures and things like that.

This team thing, to be honest with you, I love it. I love being a team leader

for the guys.

You can hit that reset button every race that you go to.

No matter how bad it was, you can start all over and hopefully start building

some momentum.

We have struggled. We have put the time in.

It's not from lack of trying, but we're going to hit that reset button and we'll

give it everything we got this weekend.

Rich Bruder takes the win. What a drag race there.

Rich Bruder moving on to the next round.

What's up, bud? Yeah, we won.

Nice. Good job. You too, buddy.

Good job.

All right, next pair coming up is going to be John Odom going up against Mike

Bowman.

You didn't know I did this, huh?

Yeah, I was rookie of the year last year, one of the best in the world.

Oh, yeah.

Listen, I've been gone for two races.

We gave Jim the car for a couple of races, and I feel great. We got back.

know, I did my first test hit yesterday, and it was epic.

So the car was probably one of the fastest passes we've made, or at least

my butt in the seat.

I know it's hot. We do good at hot tracks. My car seems to like it, so we

like we got a really good shot.

John Odom will take the win, moves on to the next round.

Mike Bowman has issues there on the starting line.

Mike has been struggling big time, so right now I think we're going to have to

make a change. Mike is just shaking, shaking, shaking.

A lot of these guys who got some fast cars, who's up and coming, I got my eye

them. Well, that didn't work.

I said, even if I got to put Mike down a week, I'll do it to help our team.

We're halfway through round one. We've already seen some big names go down.

including Scott Taylor and Kayla Martin.

Lizzie is not letting the trade talk or the drama get to her. She was able to

punch her ticket into round two.

Next, it's the battle of the captains as Justin Swanstrom faces off against Ryan

Martin. Anytime one of these races happens where the captains face off

each other, it's extremely important because the captains set the tone for

team.

I don't know. Look at all that blower stuff that we picked up in the back.

That's a great eight last night.

We had backfired the blower twice.

We have picked up a lot of stuff inside the motor. So I know we're going to get

the car back together.

But just got to go out there and do our job.

You know, Ryan was my first draw. So I said, hey, do you want to run for some

money? And he said, yeah.

So we're going to go out there and give it our best shot. Hopefully we can pull

off this win.

All right, folks. This right here is going to be a good one. We've got Justin

Swannstrom in the left lane going up against Ryan Mosley.

Not secretly struggled the first five races.

We chopped the car up a little bit, moved the motor back where it was

to be, spent some money hopefully in the right direction to try to make this

thing a lot better.

I have a lot more confidence in our ability to make good runs, and from now

that's what we need is nothing but good runs.

And Ryan Martin takes the win, moves on to the next round.

Also $1 ,000.

I went out there. I thought I cut a good light. By looking at the video, it

looks like I left on him a little bit.

I was actually out in front just a little bit of a hair. I got out there

.30, and I literally blew the converter apart inside the car. All I seen was

smoke and explosion and then fluid going everywhere.

I blew a tranny.

You blew the transmission out?

Yeah, I think it busted the converter.

Yeah,

I think it split the converter in half.

Really? Oh, dude, it's everywhere.

Inside the car. I thought it was on fire for a second, and then it went away.

And it shot it through the bottom.

Man, I think I got good luck right now.

Oh, Dad, I'm ready to load up. I feel like I'm going to get to the point where

I'm going to put it in the wall. So it's time for me to go in the trailer.

All right, folks.

We are back racing. Next pair coming at you. Greg Chandler is going up against

Bobby Ducote.

And we drawed Bobby Ducati.

I think that's a real good draw for us. I think we're pretty even and look

forward to getting it on.

I guarantee him we'll give it everything it's got.

We started thinking, it was like, you know, I think I picked the best crew,

we're out here in last place.

I mean, it's just discouraging. This is really, really hard.

This No Prep Kings is really tough.

And I think everybody is starting to feel it. Like, everybody's starting to

it.

All right, folks, this next pair here, that is Jet Blutz.

Against Daddy Dave.

It doesn't seem like anyone's made the whole trip in a race.

Okay. So, I don't want to jinx it. The tune -up you had in it last night, I

think we'll go right down there. Oh, I do too. All right. And I've got no other

than Daddy Dave.

He's one of the most fierce competitors out here.

I'll update to death, but I would love to put him on the trailer.

I didn't get to see him run last night. We ran really strong, but

unfortunately...

Last night, that's when it blew a head gasket.

It lit the motor oil on fire in the oil pan, and it blew the oil pan off the

motor.

My tests last night were phenomenal.

I have no doubt.

Jeff's struggling.

That is Jeff Lutz going up against Daddy Dave.

And Jeff Lutz going to get the win.

I pulled up, and that light turned green. I was ready.

At no point did I see him.

We got the win.

Golly! Holy!

We stayed up all night changing the motor, put the old reliable motor in for

that round.

Old Junior got this thing rolling.

Jeff Lutz got the win for Team Murder Nova after a lot of hard work.

Up next are two heavy hitters as Damon from Team Bodie goes up against Giuseppe

from Team Ryan Martin.

So here we are for the second day of Tulsa, and I draw Giuseppe. We raced him

once in Brainerd, came out on top on that deal. He seems to be running a lot

better here lately.

He's coming off a big win in epping. The car looks super fast and consistent.

Good luck, Brandon.

Thanks, man. Appreciate it.

Right now, it's a clash of the titans. I'm sure a lot of people are going to be

looking forward to, you know, taking each other out.

You're going to be the first one to win on this right lane, okay? All right.

Drew Jamin, man, just won grade eight last night, so he's got a tough draw for

us. We're going to have to look at our tune -up and try to throw something at

it, try to beat him.

We're coming off a big win with Giuseppe.

Giuseppe won his first Invitational MPK win ever.

And you know what? That's fantastic for our team. It's good for him. And it's

good momentum for our team. He's got a big race. He's got Damon Merchant.

That race is big for us as well.

So we'll see what happens.

He's on.

That old big block Chevy rolling down through there.

Woo!

Giving them big bad hemmies some fit, son.

What the f*** I'm talking about?

All right, next pair coming at you right now. Got Tony McKinney going up against

Larry Axeman Roach. This is still first round of the Invitational Class.

Tony McKinney, I mean, listen, he's a great guy. I like him. He's a real good

friend. But he hasn't been able to contribute no points to the season this

So I told him, this is your race to be able to get it figured out. If not, next

race, us as a team, we're going to have to figure it out for you.

Tony McKinney, first round. He's racing on Swanson's team.

I've been seeing Jim Howe hang out with him a whole lot, so they're saying that

hot rod's fast.

Hope this one's faster.

We're about to find out.

So the whole trade, Kyle was wanting to trade Lizzie for me.

Didn't work out.

So I deal with Dave's team, and that's a very strong team.

But he just put a lot of pressure on my shoulders.

Axman will take the win.

Woo!

Dang, that felt good.

Man.

Am I glad I didn't do that trade for Lizzie?

Absolutely. I mean, Axman's doing really good, and he's going around.

Hopefully we can keep turning it up, but there's some strong hitters here.

Hopefully I'm one of them, too.

We'll find out next round.

All right, folks, next pair.

It's going to be Kyle Kenyon going up.

against Murder Note.

Basically, this is as home track as what we get. We're in Oklahoma.

This is where our fans are, and this is where we like to show out.

And it's always the same thing here in Tulsa. The track is always iffy, and the

weather's hot.

Hey, we're three for three. We had all five in the main event, and three of

that have already raced are moving on. So it's up to me and Doc.

To finish this deal up and get all five of us to the next round.

That'd be amazing.

Kyle, we're throwing him to the wolves. He got murdered over.

I watched Sean's passes last night.

Extremely fast. Sean will make the trip and he will be fast.

But Kyle's got a lot of drive to him. He knows that this is an opportunity for

him to step up and shine.

That dedication and that determination is what's going to get him into the

winner's circle and keep him on my team.

Nice job.

What a drag race there. Kyle Fannion right there with him.

All right, folks, next pair coming at you here. That is going to be Mike

going up against Nate Saylor.

He's in deep.

He runs good.

We've been struggling again with transmission problems.

Hopefully we'll be okay, but it's just like throwing mud on the wall, seeing

what's thick.

At some point, I've got to start producing for this team.

It's just, I'm a team captain. I got to be pulling my own weight and it's not

from lack of trying. So we'll just keep on rolling.

We got Mike Murillo.

So we got right lane again, which is what we ran yesterday. So we're super

confident with that. We're going to put a good tune up in the car. I told you

I'm going to start turning some stuff up. We're going to test that here.

I'm going to see what's the handle on this track.

Taylor, right down Broadway. Great pass. Going to move on to the next round.

Good job.

All right, folks. This last pair right here is going to be Doc Love going up

against Kai Kelly.

I got a great draw.

Draw versus the opponent.

Who do I draw? Kai Kelly.

So I've got arguably the toughest racer of the group.

Welcome to the big leagues. You can't win it all if you don't beat somebody

that. I can't beat him in the first round. I can't beat him in the finals.

You know, a lot of people think, John, Doc, hell yeah, you got a good draw. But

what Doc can do is he can throw a Hail Mary because he's got nothing to lose.

he can go out there and take a big -ass guess on a tree and beat you.

People like Doc do work. They don't have nothing to lose. We got everything to

lose. My guy is tuning for the racetrack.

Doc is tuning for as much as he thinks that thing can take and not blow up and

make it to the finish line. And if it's six, you know, nine times out of ten,

your conservative tune -up's not going to beat it.

Right here, it's going to be Doc Love going up against Kai Kelly.

And Doc takes a stab on the tree, but he doesn't get there in time. Kai Kelly.

We beat Doc.

Yeah, it's like he beat me out of punching in the mouth.

Hey. Hey.

We gave you a raise. I shake your hand, but I don't agree with what you did to

me. That's it for round one, and like always, a ton of big names moving on,

including Axeman, who is the lone driver from Team Daddy Dave.

You've got to think Axeman might have a chip on his shoulder after almost

getting traded onto Kai's team.

It's up to him to keep earning points for Team Daddy Dave.

Ruin it!

All right, y 'all. We're going to go ahead and start our invitational

round two driver's meeting.

Let's go ahead and draw chips here.

All right, all my drivers have their chips.

Where are my number one drivers?

All right. Nate Saylor versus Ryan Martin.

All right. Number two, Rich Bruder and Larry Larson.

All right. Number three, B -Rad and Robin Roberts.

All right. Number four.

I can't wait for this. John Odom versus Damon Merchant. And he said he can't

wait for this race.

David Merchant said he cannot wait to put John Odom on the trailer, give him a

little pat on the face, and he said, get on out of here. Is that right? I'll say

it's for Jim. For Jim, that's right. He can join him, too, huh? We've been

dominating a lot of races, and I think it's taken a lot of people by surprise.

You know, someone's taking to social media, talking, saying that we're

Jim Howe's kind of taken to social media a lot about it.

For them to be out there saying anything about us cheating or playing the rules

or anything, I do take it personal. I'm going to take it out on them out there

on the track.

Yeah. All right. You want to do it for a thousand? Oh, side bet. Thousand.

Thousand? All right. Locked it in.

Number five.

Old man.

Axeman versus Murder Nova. Oh, that's a good one. Whoa.

All right.

Number six.

David Gates. Yeah. David Gates versus Bobby Dakota.

Number seven.

All right, drivers, go on back to your pits, get your cars turned around, bring

them in the staging lane. Let's go back to racing.

I got Nate Thaler.

Nate Thaler's already whooped me once this year, so I owe him one.

You know, his car's fast, but...

You know, I need races like this because the changes that we made on this car,

we got to know, like, how it's come around. And I think it's good, but a

like this will tell me, like, where we stack up. Good luck, man.

Good luck. You too, man.

We've raced him before.

Obviously, he's a tough competitor.

And actually, honest to God, I look up to him. I based a lot of my operation

of Ryan Martin.

We're supposed to test together, brother, not race each other. I know.

Trust me, you ain't the one I was—I mean, there wasn't— I drew my chip

you technically drew me. It was my fault? Yes. I respect it. out of him and

but i just want to put him in the trailer

here

we go invitational second round starts right here and this first race is gonna

be a good one as a team we're in pretty good shape we got three drivers in so

myself robin and brooders i sure would like to be talking about how all three

my guys won their races on the next round

Taylor in the left wing, Ryan Martin in the right.

Only one to go on to the next round.

Watch out behind you, watch out behind you!

You

okay?

I'm good. I'm good.

You all right?

I'm good.

Ryan's on the radio, says he's okay. That's good. Ryan Martin on the radio

saying he's okay.

So I do believe the wind light came on in Ryan's lane, if I'm not mistaken.

You know, the car's been doing fantastic, so it checked out.

We take off, but the car's drifting towards the left.

The car shoots back to the middle, which is exactly what I wanted it to do. I

throw the chute, got pretty sideways.

Bam, hits the wall.

I'm good.

It's okay.

Huh? I'm good.

Ripped the strut off the car. It ripped the wheel off the car. It caved in the

lower frame rail. It broke the door almost in half.

We've bent the A -pillar all the way around. It got the rear wheel.

It got the rear quarter panel.

Already broke.

Already broke, Bubba.

Uh -oh. Yeah.

Uh -oh, Ryan.

Uh -oh.

Uh -oh is right.

We're going to go get the fireball car. We're going to test it tomorrow.

Try to have it ready for boys.

Hey, Ryan, you're totally okay, right? I'm good. Good.

Tell her I'm 100 % fine.

Grayson here in this invitational second round. Larry Larson, he's going up

against Rick. Rich Bruder.

I got Rich Bruder, good friends. Haven't run him in a while.

I'm good with that. Like I said, everybody's fast, especially second

here on. Just everybody's fast. So, like racing Rich, I don't know how he's been

running. Once again, we've made some good runs. I feel like we're top five

So, we're going to go find out.

So, Coup Blower.

Our combo right here, we're down on some food that's in there. There's so much

water grains in the air, we can't spin it any harder. So it is what it is.

That's all we got.

We got some data. So if we're figuring it out, we're going to hope for the

Coming at you, we've got B -Rad, Brad Eglin, going up against Robin Roberts.

We're getting in there. I've got to take a look. Nice to meet you, man.

You're good. Be safe.

Round two, I draw B -Rad. B -Rad and I are buddies. Of course, we're not

now. We rolled there.

So he's a good competitor. He's really solid. He does consistent runs.

I don't think he's as fast as we are. We're going to see if that's true.

Having four of us make it to the next round, we caught up to Swansea. A couple

more of us do our jobs, and we're going to move from sixth place to fifth.

One race at a time, this is what we've got to do.

Great job.

He will move on to the next round. Nice job.

All right, next pair coming up right now. It's going to be John Odom going up

against Damon Merchant, looking to move on here in Tulsa.

Hey, Jim, that's a pretty good matchup for me this time of night.

I got left laying, which you know I love. So I've been wanting to raise his

for a minute.

Well, especially after all the talk. Yeah. He's not slow. Obviously, he's in

points lead because he's got a combination that, you know,

the wool over some folks he died with.

But, you know, whatever.

Jim's pretty smart when it comes to motor combinations and rules, et cetera.

And Jim feels like he's running not a big block Chevy. And he's taking the big

block Chevy deduction.

And so when you go through his motor and the way you put it together, it's not a

big block Chevy. So he should be weighing, you know, a certain weight.

not. It's not a big block Chevrolet. Yeah.

So he's, what, 100 pounds lighter?

250 pounds lighter than you are.

It's light, so it makes up ground early, fast.

Just, you know, I mean, I guess we're going to find out in a minute. Yeah.

We're going to find out in a minute.

They want to talk to us online. It's all for clout. I mean, that's what they're

here for.

We want to throw a bunch of shade our way.

The best thing we can do is try to make them look stupid out there.

I mean, what sucks is we got the right lane. We ain't been in it, and people

have been struggling.

It's our time, and I'm ready to prove it. When you start, you know, accusing

people of cheating or playing the rules in gray areas or whatever you want to

say, you know, in the end, they're trying to spread the word that we're

cheating, and we're not.

I've always ran a conventional head of big block Chevy, and we put a

together to be a lighter car that's going to be competitive throughout the

season. They've been going back and forth with that GTR.

Get up and epping, and I plan on getting up tonight.

All right, next pair coming

up right now. It's going to be John Odom going up against Damon Merchant.

Move on. Here in Tulsa.

Five of my drivers are out. We accumulated 60 points for this weekend.

We are going to be able to get Jim back at the next race. That's another big

killer we're going to be able to put back on our team.

I have a very, very established team, very fast team.

We just have a couple little hiccups right now. We're going to get over it,

I can't wait to see how we do in Idaho.

I'm telling you right now, those guys talking all online all the time and

about their own.

And not about everybody else's.

They'd be doing a lot better.

And that right there proves it.

All right, next pair coming up right now. It's going to be Axeman going up

against Murder Nova.

Murder Nova.

That dude has deft his game up so much this year.

I know what he's got. I know how fast he's been.

That's going to be tough.

He's been rolling. He has about 250 more horsepower.

So to overcome that's going to be really tough.

We're both way about the same, so this is going to be one tough race.

We've always known that the Game Changer car is fast. It just needed some time

for it to get good and for them to get it figured out, and they're starting to

figure it out.

Actually, I'm all right with racing Axeman.

Axeman's fast, and he's won a lot of races this year, but I'm fast too.

Yeah, baby.

Woo! Roll in with Sean.

Try to roll in real quick so I can get on that trans brake.

Light come on.

I can see him pull a little ahead.

I know that's him. I know that's him.

Hooked up shot right past him at the finish line.

That was a hell of a race.

I was glad to see my green light come on. Damn!

I'm getting used to that green light.

The next pair coming at you right here, that is going to be David Gates going up

against Bobby Ducote.

Check your radio.

Got me on the radio.

Doc guessed on kind. That's kind of chicken. I'm not a guesser. I want to

green and win fair and square.

And, you know, Bobby's known for guessing, and he's a friend of mine, and

still consider each other teammates no matter who we're on out here.

And I said, we ain't guessing on each other. He said, no, if you do, I'm going

to get down there at the end, and we're going to fight.

He made a good lap, and our car went towards the center line, and

it got loose, and actually I felt like I was sideways when I went through the

finish line.

I'm trying to get the chutes out, got it straightened back up, gathered it up.

This track here is kind of tricky. It's got asphalt in the center. Once you get

out of the groove and you get asphalt on one side and concrete on another, these

cars don't like it.

Bobby, I need some toilet paper.

How's their drag race at their house?

All right, next pair coming at you right now. That is going to be Jeff Lutz

going up against Kai Kelly.

Lutz has been struggling all year, but everybody knows that Jeff Lutz can put a

pass together that nobody here can whoop.

When he was over in Australia, I watched his car lay down some numbers that I've

never seen on a time ticket of my own. So I know his car is fast, and we're not

going to take him lightly.

We're going to try to go as fast as we possibly can without taking the time.

Kelly turns on that wind line. What a pass from him.

Nice job.

That was a hell of a pass.

We beat Jeff Lutz. He's been running good all day. And we made a hell of a

I think with that run there, I really don't think there's nobody here that can

touch it. But we'll find out in a little while. But beating Jeff is big.

But I'm definitely running like we need to.

All right, folks, next pair. That is going to be Chuck 55 going up against

Lizzie Mucy.

All right, Lizzie.

Let's do it.

So I end up joining Chuck. We're the last pair out.

I mean, he's got his program turned around completely.

It's like this. I feel so nasty.

Like, I can't even breathe because the air is so thick.

It's really hot.

We lose power when the air is this bad.

This is the first time being in the right lane, but I feel like both lanes

pretty equal at this track. Track is really smooth.

I don't know. Again, can't take anyone lightly.

I don't know what it is about me drawing the badass fast girls, but I did it

again. The sun's down now. The track's cooling off. We're going to put some

power to it.

And we're going to put a tune -up in, but I think we can outrun her.

All right, folks, next pair. That is going to be Chuck 55 going up against

Lindsey Mucin.

Takes the win.

Wow. They got that new car rocking and rolling over there.

We leave right close to the finish line. Me and Chuck are like door to door. And

I'm like, man, he's going to get me. Get right to the edge of the finish line.

And I just was able to nose him right at the end and got the win. I saw my win

light come on. I'm like, yeah.

That was a good race.

It was badass.

Right at the end, it was able to... He said he drove out... Yeah, yeah, right

the end.

Lizzie Musi is wasting no time getting that new car lined out. That thing is

flying, and she is moving into round three.

Her team captain and ex -fiancé is also still in the race, which means there's a

chance that there might be an awkward race between the two ex -lovers.

They want to make... Hell yeah!

He didn't say Dave, he said Damon. Oh.

All right. We're going to go ahead and get started with our third round

meeting for the invitational class.

Round two was great for my team. We've got to go rounds. That's what we need.

That's the only way you're going to win $200 ,000 is if you go in rounds.

Also, y 'all saw Ryan Martin take the win, but it was not without some

issues. Ryan, his car is damaged too far to be fixed tonight.

So whoever draws Ryan Martin's chip.

It's basically going to get a by -run into the semi -finals. Wow.

Let's go ahead and draw chips to see who's racing whom.

New car is working.

Can you just reach over?

All right,

my drivers have their chips.

Number one, step five.

step forward. It is going to be David Gates versus Robin Roberts.

Number two. Number two.

Number two.

And final pair will be Larry Larson and Axeman.

All right.

Drivers, go back to your pits. Get your cars turned around. Get them in the

staging lanes.

Let's go racing.

I'm coming at you right now. That is going to be David Gates going up against

Robin Roberts.

I had a nitrous line leaking like heck. We're trying to fix it now. They're

heating it up. All right.

Take me just a second.

Be safe, Robert. You too, buddy.

We went up here and we drew Robin Roberts. He's fast. He's been fast for a

time. And I've only raced him one time and he beat me.

But I feel like now I've got a hot rod that I can contend with him with. And

we're going to get out here and load a tune up in it. And we're going to go out

there and I'm going to cut a light on him. And hopefully at the other end,

behind me.

Team Kyle Kelly's got three in the final eight. So we're inching back up closer

to the top where we need to be.

I'm ready to go. Go out there and give it hell.

Ryan won, but he slipped over and hit the wall enough that it broke the strut

loose, so he's out.

So we're the last team, Ryan, that's in the show, and now we've got to make Ryan

proud. So in round three, I draw David Gates. Now, he's a big -inch nitrous

motor. The car is really fast, really consistent. It's Ty's old car, so this

will be no slap.

on the wind light in a great side -by -side drag race there.

Good run, Robin.

Looks like you did pretty good, too.

Yeah, we were right there together.

Next pair coming at you, and that is Damon Merchant going up against Kai

Kai, are you sick of racing Damon yet?

No, man.

It's good competition.

I don't like when he beats me, though. I'm sick of that already.

But I ain't going to let him beat me no more. Round three, I draw Damon.

It's not a draw that I want, but it is something I need to do. He's always

He's always in the final ones of us of the night. And ain't nothing like good

competition. He's a fast guy, and he's always there. So I like racing.

Everybody else is scared of drawing.

I like drawing him, because he's either going to take an ass whooping, or he's

going to get better.

We've drawn none other than Kai Kelly. We know that hot rod's fast.

We know that he's going to put more to it, especially out back. Kai's a driver,

so, you know, never know how it's going to go. We've been running good. We've

been running consistent.

It's been enough to turn on a lot of windmiles, so, you know, I'm just going

keep doing my thing, and hopefully it's going to be enough to hold him off and

go another round.

I ate that one. I missed that one. That one's a little tough to swallow.

You live and die by the light.

You're right, man. I made a good leg. Yeah, you were hauling it out. Oh,

I thought you just let out because it went rear.

No, I was going to see what it was going to do.

We ended up getting the by -run for third round. Super excited for that. We

decided to get after it a little bit more, see if the car could take any

All right, folks, so here we go. This will be the by -run. Lizzie Mucey going

get the by -run here. She pulled Ryan Marks' shift, and as you heard in the

driver's meeting, Ryan Marks unable to get the car repaired in time.

I'm feeling good. I'm feeling confident.

Everyone, my whole team's all stoked, excited.

I am because I'm a brand new car out, and we haven't been having any issues so

far. The car drives so freaking good, so I'm super excited.

All right, so Lindsay Musie with a nice bye run there. She will be in the

semifinals. All right, folks, we've got Larry Larson. He is going up against

Larry Axeman Roach.

The racers out here this year are just so tight, no matter what combination or

anything else.

So I guarantee they're going to be within a fender of each other unless

does something really silly.

Larson's not nobody.

He is not.

Thanks, man.

He's a little slow on the light, so we got to go over there and wake Axeman up

and get his ass going.

Larry switched over to a pro charger.

That thing's been rolling. Put out Caleb first round, and Caleb's really flying,

so I know that he's got potential to put me on a trailer.

Chuck's 55 and Amelia are accepting a little one. And guess what? This is

to be a gender reveal on the pass.

So, you've got Robin Roberts in the right lane representing the boy. You've

Callie Mills over in the left lane representing a girl.

So, whoever wins, that is going to be the gender of baby.

Chuck 55 and Amelia.

All right, folks. We've got Larry Lawson. He is going up against Axe Man.

Drivers meeting starts right now.

We are down to four drivers left.

I got news for y 'all. One of you is going to get $40 ,000 tonight.

All right. Well, let's draw chips.

See who's racing who.

Here we go. Drum roll.

Where are my number ones?

Robin Roberts and Kai Kelly.

Robin Roberts and Kai Kelly.

Which means my second pair will be Axeman versus Lizzie.

Oh, boy.

Oh, boy.

Drivers, get back to racing, all right? Got $40 ,000 to give away.

You got Robin?

Yeah. He beat me by three -quarters of a car.

But I slowed down 10 miles per hour out the back because I bought a converter

over him, sure.

I think you can do the same thing. He's fast. I ain't trying to blow my

converter up. But he ain't fast as you.

I ended up drawing Robin Roberts.

It didn't matter who I drew as long as I didn't draw Lizzie because we didn't

end up doing the trade. And to be honest, I don't care.

Lizzie's fast.

As long as she keeps advancing, we keep getting points for our team and we keep

catching these other teams.

Invitational semifinals, and it's a good one. Over in the right lane, we have

got Robin Roberts in that firebird, going up against Kai Kelly in the left

Winner will go on to the finals and race for $40 ,000.

This next race is going to be a good one. We have the two drivers who have

the center of all the trade discussions going to face off.

Lizzie versus Axeman. I got to think that Kai and Dave will be watching this

race closely to see who won out on the trade not happening.

Don't give me that look.

Hey, Lizzie, this is for what, team captain choice?

This is it. This is the race.

Whether they make a good decision or not.

This is the race.

The race off. The race off.

This is it.

This is it. This is how we decide.

This is how we decide, yeah. We're going to see if Dave made the right decision.

Race off it is.

If we would have traded, we would have both got the same points up to now.

So we would keep messing with each other. If we would have traded, which

going to give him the most points?

He's running good. I got to give it to him. He's definitely a man to beat.

I feel like we have a good car. I feel confident in it. Just got to do my job,

leaving the line.

All right, here is the last pair of the semifinals for the Invitational Class.

Over in the right lane, that will be Larry Axman Roach backing up the Game

Changer Mustang.

He is going up against Lizzie Mucey in the left lane. Lizzie Mucey, brand new

car, y 'all, over here in this left lane. Made it to the semifinals thus

Looking to go to the finals.

Great drag race side by side.

I go in. He goes in.

And we leave.

I saw him for a little bit. Then my car just freaking hauled at all the way to

the finish line. Got the win.

So, looks like maybe I'm the better choice of the team captain.

No, I'm kidding.

Good job.

I'll give this to you. That's all yours.

That's all yours. Thank you. Good job, guys.

What a day it has been. We started with 32.

We are now down to just two drivers.

Here we go. 40 ,000 on the line on this race right here.

It's nice when everything just molds together and works.

Testing, it definitely was worth it. All them hot, like, days, the runs that I

didn't want to make, and my dad's like, one more, one more. I'm like, putting in

the work and then seeing progress is, like, such a great feeling.

So excited that you get to see us do good, too.

This is my first final of this season, so, yeah,

I'm excited.

Be on the light. I think you'll be okay. Yeah, yeah.

Hey, we need the win.

I know. I know you know. The last race, Giuseppe wins.

This race, you win. Like, that's great for our team.

Lizzie just bumpered us out in Virginia. So the car's way faster than it was

then. Unless she's way faster than she was then, we got a good shot.

This will be the last race of the night over in the left lane. That is Robin

Roberts going up against Lindsey Mucci in the right. This is your invitational

final. $40 ,000 to the winner right here, right now.

Robin's running really good, so we've got to be on our A game. I feel

in our car.

In my crew, me, in my mindset.

We've got to keep going. I've got to push it to the end. We've got one more

go, and I want to make it happen so bad.

Congratulations to Herbert, our team.

Awesome job.

I didn't know how. I felt like a mix of emotions down there. Just everything,

just everything. Everything I've been going through, like, it's just been

It's been like a roller coaster of a season for me.

Being diagnosed with breast cancer, stage four, just everything just piling

top of me.

All those days where I get treatment and stuff like that and, you know, go

through those struggles and I'm out here and doing what I'm doing and being able

to kick ass, I don't even know what to say.

Emotional. I know when I get back, it's all going to hit me, but it hasn't hit

me yet.

Man, I can't believe she went out there and whooped Robin Roberts.

Now she just makes me look slow.

But at the end of the day, our team got another win. I feel like we're

definitely going to move out of the fourth spot on up closer to number one.

Put your hands together for Lizzie Mucin.

Nice job.

Congratulations, y 'all. Way to go. Thank you, guys. Congratulations. Nice

Thank you.

What a big statement for Lizzie Mucey tonight.

With the drama, the trade talks, and a brand new car, she never let any of it

throw her off her game. She got the win.

And after all the drama, all the movement, there was absolutely no change

team rankings this week. But with nine events left in the season, there is no

doubt that things will get shaken up.

Next week... Uh -oh, might have some trouble here for Kai Kelly in the right

lane. We're nearing the halfway point of the season, and the pressure is

building. Ty Kelly's got fuel coming out of one of the cylinders on the driver's

side of the car.

Some racers are breaking cars.

What is going on?

Just pushed me off. It blew the converter up or something.

Ryan being the racer he is, I ain't never really seen him be a guesser. I

think that I should guess against him.

He left about three cars earlier than me. And others are just breaking down.

Here you go.

Have that the whole rest of the day.
