1
00:00:01,219 --> 00:00:02,460
Beta Bear, how you doing today?

2
00:00:04,260 --> 00:00:05,880
Last week on No Prep Team.

3
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:14,280
Heading into the Invitational, Team Kai
Kelly was in first place with only a 20

4
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:17,360
-point lead over Team Daddy Dave. Who
was in second?

5
00:00:20,080 --> 00:00:22,960
So Dave Comstock, looks like the car
died after the burnout.

6
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,180
Unfortunately for Dave, his team had a
string of bad luck.

7
00:00:27,450 --> 00:00:31,270
Both he and Axeman had car problems. It
could be any of that. It's like a ghost

8
00:00:31,270 --> 00:00:32,729
tent. It could be something major.

9
00:00:32,930 --> 00:00:34,030
Yeah, we're supposed to be on the
starting line now.

10
00:00:36,110 --> 00:00:38,510
While Team Kai dominated the entire
event.

11
00:00:41,190 --> 00:00:42,370
He's having a great time.

12
00:00:42,650 --> 00:00:45,150
He is having a great time. I'm having
the most fun I've ever had in my life.

13
00:00:45,490 --> 00:00:47,850
With three of his drivers making it to
the semis.

14
00:00:50,470 --> 00:00:53,090
And Kai winning the $40 ,000 invitation.

15
00:00:59,340 --> 00:01:03,480
That gave Kai's team the strongest lead
in points they've had all year long.

16
00:01:07,500 --> 00:01:09,120
Here we go!

17
00:01:46,570 --> 00:01:47,670
210 in the afternoon.

18
00:01:49,050 --> 00:01:51,910
209. Wow. All right. In like 30 seconds.

19
00:01:52,330 --> 00:01:53,510
All right. I'll get ready, man.

20
00:01:53,750 --> 00:01:54,750
All right.

21
00:01:55,170 --> 00:01:56,170
Are you going to win?

22
00:01:56,350 --> 00:01:57,750
Yeah. Why?

23
00:01:58,450 --> 00:01:59,470
Because that's what we do.

24
00:02:04,490 --> 00:02:07,070
Las Vegas, how y 'all doing today?

25
00:02:09,370 --> 00:02:14,730
As you know, this class is a team class.

26
00:02:15,260 --> 00:02:17,100
It pays $40 ,000 to win.

27
00:02:17,540 --> 00:02:21,840
These drivers are all part of eight
different teams trying to win that

28
00:02:24,140 --> 00:02:25,140
Yeah.

29
00:02:27,540 --> 00:02:30,460
I'm excited to see the races. I've never
seen them live before, so I'm so

30
00:02:30,460 --> 00:02:34,620
excited to see that. Ryan Martin is my
favorite. He's the fastest man on the

31
00:02:34,620 --> 00:02:36,860
planet. Now, Lizzie's my favorite.

32
00:02:37,300 --> 00:02:38,980
Ty Kelly, Daddy Dave.

33
00:02:39,300 --> 00:02:41,960
The only one I wanted to see win was
Pipey Murder Nova.

34
00:02:42,180 --> 00:02:44,000
He hasn't been up in the top for a
while.

35
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,140
Had a rough season, but I hope you can
get up there.

36
00:02:47,460 --> 00:02:48,119
I agree.

37
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:49,180
Go Seattle! Go Seattle!

38
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:55,340
We are here in Las Vegas. It is the
first time ever we've been to this

39
00:02:55,460 --> 00:02:57,420
and we're getting ready for the first
round.

40
00:02:57,780 --> 00:03:02,240
Any weekend in Vegas is a good weekend,
plus coming off of Colorado, where we're

41
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:03,240
at high altitude.

42
00:03:04,140 --> 00:03:08,440
We're a little closer to sea level here,
but still between 2 ,000 and 3 ,000

43
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,700
feet. These cars are going to make a
little more power than on the side of

44
00:03:11,700 --> 00:03:14,400
mountain, but that doesn't mean tuning
will be easy.

45
00:03:15,649 --> 00:03:20,410
Kai's team has a solid lead right now
with 790 points. But, as we all know,

46
00:03:20,550 --> 00:03:22,050
anything can happen in Vegas.

47
00:03:24,670 --> 00:03:27,970
Hey, watch that trophy right there, man.
Hey, watch that trophy I let you win

48
00:03:27,970 --> 00:03:29,570
last week? Yeah. Oh, man.

49
00:03:29,870 --> 00:03:32,250
Hey, congrats later. You don't have to
rush your way in. Yeah.

50
00:03:32,810 --> 00:03:33,728
I got lucky.

51
00:03:33,730 --> 00:03:37,550
Yeah. No, you was good last week. I got
lucky, brother. I got a good team. And

52
00:03:37,550 --> 00:03:38,550
I'm on the best team here.

53
00:03:38,810 --> 00:03:39,810
Damn right.

54
00:03:39,850 --> 00:03:42,950
I can see how Ron Martin's felt for the
past three or four years.

55
00:03:43,150 --> 00:03:46,870
In the number one spot, like we are,
there's only one way to go, and that's

56
00:03:46,870 --> 00:03:50,450
down. The only time it's fun to be
number one is at the end of the season

57
00:03:50,450 --> 00:03:53,230
they're handing you that trophy and that
$200 ,000 check.

58
00:03:53,430 --> 00:03:57,650
So we're just going to keep grinding,
race hard all the way to the last race,

59
00:03:57,710 --> 00:03:58,990
and hopefully we fill the number one
spot.

60
00:03:59,530 --> 00:04:02,090
Listen, we all go two rounds today,
we're back in the lead.

61
00:04:02,730 --> 00:04:06,270
Team Daddy Dave did not have the best
event last weekend in Colorado.

62
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,940
But they have a lot of fast racers, and
they're always a threat to make a

63
00:04:10,940 --> 00:04:15,220
comeback. Kai, he's got a horseshoe up
his ass right now. His team does really

64
00:04:15,220 --> 00:04:21,060
good. But just like every team out here,
up and down, peaks and valleys. Like,

65
00:04:21,060 --> 00:04:22,780
they're at the peak right now. They're
rounding up.

66
00:04:24,100 --> 00:04:26,540
Things are going to start breaking.
Things are going to start happening, and

67
00:04:26,540 --> 00:04:29,720
they'll be on the downhill slides. Like,
you'll have to catch Kai and Lizzie on

68
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,960
a bad day to beat them. Did you realize
how much more spunky our team was when

69
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:35,060
we were number one in points?

70
00:04:36,330 --> 00:04:40,610
When we went to two, he was like... Ryan
Martin is currently sitting in third,

71
00:04:40,730 --> 00:04:44,030
and he is looking to lead his team in an
epic comeback.

72
00:04:44,930 --> 00:04:48,730
We've always said that we're just, you
know, a race swing away from being able

73
00:04:48,730 --> 00:04:49,730
to take that number one spot.

74
00:04:49,990 --> 00:04:54,090
That means Kai's team, you know, goes
out first round, all of them, which,

75
00:04:54,150 --> 00:04:56,950
again, it's going to be hard, but it's
possible. And we all advance, and a

76
00:04:56,950 --> 00:05:00,110
couple of us end up in the semifinals
and finals, and all of a sudden, that

77
00:05:00,110 --> 00:05:01,110
changes.

78
00:05:02,330 --> 00:05:05,350
I'll tell you what we need to do from
this point on. Every car right here is

79
00:05:05,350 --> 00:05:09,780
fast. We need to go right here. This is
Vegas. We need to win this race. We need

80
00:05:09,780 --> 00:05:11,060
one of our guys to win this race.

81
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,540
So my team, man, we've been kind of
disappointed.

82
00:05:14,140 --> 00:05:15,700
We started off really, really fast.

83
00:05:15,940 --> 00:05:19,380
Damon and Nathan was carrying us. They
was kicking ass, beating everybody.

84
00:05:19,700 --> 00:05:23,700
Me and Bowman and Bobby has not been
able to carry the rest of the team,

85
00:05:23,700 --> 00:05:27,200
our load, you know? So right now our
team has fell off. We moved all the way

86
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:28,200
down to fourth place.

87
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:32,100
This weekend, man, it's time to make
some changes. Tonight, we got a lot of

88
00:05:32,100 --> 00:05:33,100
pressure on our back.

89
00:05:53,359 --> 00:05:59,760
I think all of us are starting to get
things lined out, and

90
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,220
some other people are having problems.

91
00:06:03,930 --> 00:06:07,810
Now is the time. Yeah. We got my hot rod
back, so we're good. You made some good

92
00:06:07,810 --> 00:06:09,870
ones yesterday? We made a lick last
night.

93
00:06:10,370 --> 00:06:11,370
Wow.

94
00:06:11,650 --> 00:06:12,649
That was good.

95
00:06:12,650 --> 00:06:16,470
That's all we need, man. We got to go
some rounds. Yes. It's time to peak now.

96
00:06:17,810 --> 00:06:19,930
That's the way it's supposed to work.
Towards the end of the season, you're

97
00:06:19,930 --> 00:06:20,729
supposed to peak.

98
00:06:20,730 --> 00:06:26,630
Yeah. I don't think I've ever had so
much pressure on me to not go out first

99
00:06:26,630 --> 00:06:30,390
round as the day after I win my first
grade eight.

100
00:06:31,090 --> 00:06:32,890
So at this point, everybody's looking at
me.

101
00:06:33,420 --> 00:06:38,120
to do well. And on a tricky surface like
this, with how hot it is and how greasy

102
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,120
the track is, you can't mess up.

103
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:41,680
Hot and nasty, Scott.

104
00:06:43,660 --> 00:06:45,320
And it's going to start bubbling like
that.

105
00:06:48,380 --> 00:06:49,580
That's kind of leaky right there.

106
00:06:51,340 --> 00:06:54,880
Kai, you're rocking it this season, and
you have not stopped here. You have all

107
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,700
five of your drivers in the invitational
class today.

108
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:02,360
Congratulations. So, folks. Good job,
Rankin. Yeah, good job, Rankin. Chris

109
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,940
Rankin. Getting the win in Race Your Way
In, man. Congrats. That's awesome.

110
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,700
Here in Vegas, there weren't near as
many trades as in past weeks.

111
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,560
Disco Dean dropped Jerry Bird into the
reserves after his car blew up last week

112
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,260
and pulled up Jerry Jansen.

113
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,360
And Mike Murillo dropped Mike Chandler
and pulled up Dominator.

114
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:26,120
After Race Your Way In, Team Kai Kelly
and Team Daddy Dave both have five

115
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,420
in today's event. So it's going to be
interesting to see who will help or who

116
00:07:29,420 --> 00:07:30,460
will hurt their team.

117
00:07:30,910 --> 00:07:34,530
We're officially in the back half of the
season, so now is the time for each and

118
00:07:34,530 --> 00:07:37,870
every team to kick it in gear and make
moves if they want to stay in the hunt

119
00:07:37,870 --> 00:07:38,910
down the homestretch.

120
00:07:39,710 --> 00:07:42,670
All 32 drivers will draw from the
bucket.

121
00:07:42,890 --> 00:07:44,210
Come on over, guys.

122
00:07:48,110 --> 00:07:50,690
Coming around for the kill.

123
00:07:51,650 --> 00:07:53,030
That's a good draw.

124
00:07:54,190 --> 00:07:58,110
We've got some killer matchups in round
one today that will definitely send some

125
00:07:58,110 --> 00:07:59,430
heavy hitters home early.

126
00:07:59,960 --> 00:08:04,040
like Axeman from Team Daddy Dave versus
Lizzie Musi from Team Kai.

127
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,840
Then we've got David Gates, also from
Team Kai Kelly, going up against Damon

128
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,240
Merchant from Team Bone.

129
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,840
There are also three sets of teammates
who drew each other. Las Vegas is

130
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:17,420
up to be a hell of an event.

131
00:08:18,060 --> 00:08:19,060
Here we go.

132
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:20,360
Go racing, guys.

133
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:23,019
Come on.

134
00:08:23,020 --> 00:08:26,560
Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on.

135
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,940
Your first pair here. the Invitational
Class.

136
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:34,480
That is Kyle Canyon going up against
Disco D.

137
00:08:36,940 --> 00:08:38,100
Yeah, what's wrong?

138
00:08:38,780 --> 00:08:41,039
You guys don't look too pumped up.
What's going on?

139
00:08:41,260 --> 00:08:44,960
We got three out of five in. So it's me
and you and Jimmy. Yeah, no, it's all

140
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,620
good. We need to go semis or better this
weekend, get on the map, get past

141
00:08:48,620 --> 00:08:49,960
Murillo's team. You know what I mean?

142
00:08:50,220 --> 00:08:53,800
Viva Las Vegas. I draw chip number one,
Kyle Canyon.

143
00:08:54,250 --> 00:08:57,650
I kind of like being pair one, getting
it done. It's hot out here. It's

144
00:08:57,650 --> 00:09:01,310
97 to 100 degrees right now. Especially
if that sun just keeps like having no

145
00:09:01,310 --> 00:09:02,289
clouds in the sky.

146
00:09:02,290 --> 00:09:03,650
Track temperature will be 135.

147
00:09:04,410 --> 00:09:07,350
First pair down, don't have to sit in
the car a long time. Get up there, get

148
00:09:07,350 --> 00:09:10,630
done. Gives me more time to turn the car
around and make changes for second

149
00:09:10,630 --> 00:09:11,910
round if we can win this first round.

150
00:09:19,230 --> 00:09:21,130
We're coming into the second half of the
season.

151
00:09:21,430 --> 00:09:23,250
It just gets brutal from here on out.

152
00:09:24,980 --> 00:09:29,840
Last night, the track conditions were
not really that good. We had so many oil

153
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:34,680
downs, so many cleanups, so much time in
between cars going down and the track

154
00:09:34,680 --> 00:09:36,600
just goes to put it nicely.

155
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:41,760
Coming into today, the sun's out. It's
hotter than Hades. It's greasy.

156
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,060
So it's going to be really tricky for
any of the guys to get down through

157
00:09:54,730 --> 00:09:56,910
The goal today is just go around to get
wins.

158
00:09:57,230 --> 00:10:01,510
We fell down to second against Guy. We
just need to get together and just keep

159
00:10:01,510 --> 00:10:03,390
racking up points so we can get back
into number one.

160
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,300
there, but Kyle Canyon turns on the wind
light.

161
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:44,660
So we just ran disco. It wasn't our
fastest pass, but we got to win. We went

162
00:10:44,660 --> 00:10:45,519
around disco.

163
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,160
I don't know how close it was. I was
glad to get that one out of the way. I

164
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:52,220
needed it after the last two races going
out in the first round, so we're back.

165
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,060
Good job, sir. Good lap, Kyle.

166
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,880
Good job, sir. I thought I had enough. I
laid a good lap down, just wasn't

167
00:10:57,880 --> 00:10:59,600
enough. Just got my ass kicked.

168
00:11:00,180 --> 00:11:01,400
All right, next pair.

169
00:11:01,660 --> 00:11:05,200
That is going to be Paige Coughlin going
up against Robin Roberts.

170
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,000
All right, man.

171
00:11:07,780 --> 00:11:09,680
It's a whole different day than it was
yesterday.

172
00:11:10,020 --> 00:11:15,080
You go from 85 degrees in a cool track
to super slick, hot, sunny mess.

173
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,740
When we ran our test pass last night,
the track temp was 94 degrees. Right now

174
00:11:18,740 --> 00:11:19,740
it's 128.

175
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,220
Well, you know, we knew when we came to
Vegas it was going to be hot. It's

176
00:11:23,220 --> 00:11:24,220
Invitational Day.

177
00:11:24,260 --> 00:11:28,100
This is going to be a badass race,
someplace we've never been before. It'll

178
00:11:28,100 --> 00:11:31,940
be a super challenge because... This
track's going to be slick with that sun

179
00:11:31,940 --> 00:11:34,300
beating down on it. I just feel like
it's going to be a good day.

180
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,460
This is the kind of stuff where we've
been good and where the car can be good.

181
00:11:37,620 --> 00:11:41,760
It's just the struggle of, all right,
how do we get that into the car to make

182
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:42,780
do what we want it to do?

183
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:47,320
I got Paige Coughlin first round. In New
Hampshire, she beat us. Like, we just

184
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,320
made some mistakes, and she just beat
us. Good for her.

185
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,180
This round's going to be different.

186
00:11:51,580 --> 00:11:54,760
The plan going into this round is to
soften the car, make it leave right. We

187
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:56,520
move some weight back. It might stand
up.

188
00:11:57,680 --> 00:12:00,840
The goal with this run is just get that
car down and get it fast on the top end.

189
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:19,020
I drew Robin Roberts and I was like,
ooh, this should be interesting because

190
00:12:19,020 --> 00:12:22,180
was actually the first person I ever
raced in the Invitational in New

191
00:12:22,180 --> 00:12:23,180
at the end of June.

192
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,600
But, you know, we beat them before, so
I'm like, all righty, well, just keep

193
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,120
that in the back of your mind. You know
what you're doing.

194
00:12:29,460 --> 00:12:32,940
The car has been running really, really
well this weekend, and just go race your

195
00:12:32,940 --> 00:12:33,940
race.

196
00:12:57,710 --> 00:12:58,750
Good job, guys.

197
00:13:02,370 --> 00:13:03,710
So I launched with Paige.

198
00:13:05,770 --> 00:13:09,770
We're neck and neck. It was just stood
up, and it finally sits down, and we

199
00:13:09,770 --> 00:13:10,770
drove away from her.

200
00:13:11,590 --> 00:13:12,670
That's how you win a race.

201
00:13:13,410 --> 00:13:16,370
First round is always the hardest. It's
miserable. You're torn up inside.

202
00:13:16,870 --> 00:13:20,510
It's great to just get on to the second
round. Now we can go after winning this

203
00:13:20,510 --> 00:13:21,850
race. Great lap.

204
00:13:22,090 --> 00:13:23,270
You too, man. Thank you.

205
00:13:23,690 --> 00:13:26,410
These guys are just fast out here, and I
have to keep reminding myself, we're

206
00:13:26,410 --> 00:13:30,290
new. You're paying your dues. Just keep
going at it. Keep putting it back in

207
00:13:30,290 --> 00:13:31,630
line and keep racing. Don't stop.

208
00:13:31,830 --> 00:13:33,590
And we'll turn on wind lights. We will.

209
00:13:33,810 --> 00:13:34,810
It looked good.

210
00:13:35,490 --> 00:13:36,490
It was a good race.

211
00:13:36,650 --> 00:13:37,650
Yeah, you were out for a bit.

212
00:13:41,270 --> 00:13:45,630
All right, next pair. We got Doc Love
going up against Kayla Morton.

213
00:13:46,950 --> 00:13:47,950
Buckle's warm.

214
00:13:48,050 --> 00:13:48,969
Everything's warm.

215
00:13:48,970 --> 00:13:50,370
Race day, Las Vegas.

216
00:13:50,630 --> 00:13:51,630
Sunny, hot.

217
00:13:52,310 --> 00:13:54,570
Wendy, we got some wind. That helps.
Made the invitation.

218
00:13:55,210 --> 00:13:56,250
Green, green, green.

219
00:13:56,610 --> 00:13:57,890
Unfortunately, I drew Kayla.

220
00:13:58,450 --> 00:14:02,610
God willing, a little bit of luck, and
we get to win over Kayla and go on to

221
00:14:02,610 --> 00:14:03,229
second round.

222
00:14:03,230 --> 00:14:08,090
I don't think we've had a longer Friday
night at an MPK event. That was the

223
00:14:08,090 --> 00:14:10,190
longest night. It cut into my gambling
time.

224
00:14:10,730 --> 00:14:11,830
It didn't cut into mine.

225
00:14:12,150 --> 00:14:13,590
Oh, it didn't? You rallied.

226
00:14:13,870 --> 00:14:17,870
No, I rallied. You rallied. Dad's
wearing his lucky hat today. It is a

227
00:14:17,870 --> 00:14:22,250
hotter today than it was yesterday, so I
think you can probably expect to see a

228
00:14:22,250 --> 00:14:26,070
few upsets first round. This track is
really going to be tricky, but I have

229
00:14:26,070 --> 00:14:28,790
the faith in the world in Chase, and I'm
ready for first round today.

230
00:14:29,150 --> 00:14:35,190
Everybody is just getting faster. We
have to be on our A -plus game every

231
00:14:35,310 --> 00:14:38,490
Like, there's just no room for error or
slip -up here.

232
00:14:39,270 --> 00:14:42,350
Team Dave has all five cars in today.
I'm feeling really good.

233
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:43,960
I feel like a top dog here today.

234
00:14:53,340 --> 00:14:55,160
I don't think he gets enough burnout.

235
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,960
With all five in, we're automatically
ten away from Bodie.

236
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:07,820
Bodie's only got three people in.

237
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:12,420
So right now, I'm still only one round
away from passing them.

238
00:15:30,980 --> 00:15:35,720
Nice job, baby.

239
00:15:40,420 --> 00:15:42,260
Some upsets today on this racetrack.

240
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,160
We demonstrated just that.

241
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,820
We went up against Doc, feeling
confident.

242
00:15:47,100 --> 00:15:48,980
I honestly thought it was in the back.

243
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,940
The boat took off clean. I had him the
entire way, and then maybe like 500

244
00:15:57,020 --> 00:15:58,020
it just got out of control.

245
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:03,020
I mean, it just nipped me at the very
end. So an L today is better than a

246
00:16:03,020 --> 00:16:06,160
-up race car, and I think if I would
have drove it anymore, that's where we

247
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,340
would be. So we'll lick our wounds and
come back next week.

248
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:10,920
What happened, babe?

249
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,940
Oh, we just got super, and you came
around me at the very end.

250
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:18,500
High hopes for Team Heavy Metal and no
respect for the end of the season. I get

251
00:16:18,500 --> 00:16:22,120
to stay on Team Murder Nova for at least
one more race, and I got some points,

252
00:16:22,180 --> 00:16:24,140
baby. Get greasy on the big end. Yeah.

253
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,260
And, hey, it was an honor to race the
top ten.

254
00:16:28,620 --> 00:16:29,620
Thanks, man.

255
00:16:30,100 --> 00:16:31,100
Appreciate it.

256
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,380
That's a tough break for Kayla in that
race.

257
00:16:38,050 --> 00:16:41,050
She was ahead at the start, but got
loose on the big end.

258
00:16:41,590 --> 00:16:45,030
The track is tricky today, and it's
proving to be a challenge for some of

259
00:16:45,030 --> 00:16:48,490
racers. They're going to have to be
careful with how much power they put

260
00:16:48,490 --> 00:16:49,490
they want to get a win.

261
00:16:50,310 --> 00:16:51,350
All right, next pair.

262
00:16:51,990 --> 00:16:56,410
That is going to be Axeman going up
against Lizzie Musi.

263
00:16:56,670 --> 00:17:00,490
So we beat her in a grade 8. Then she
come back and smacked us around in two

264
00:17:00,490 --> 00:17:01,490
races.

265
00:17:01,850 --> 00:17:03,790
So this is tough going in here.

266
00:17:04,530 --> 00:17:06,550
It's the first time we've raced first
round, I think. Yeah.

267
00:17:07,130 --> 00:17:09,630
Either way, whoever gets the win is
going to really help the other team.

268
00:17:09,849 --> 00:17:10,849
It's hot out here.

269
00:17:10,990 --> 00:17:14,829
I'd rather help my team, but I always
feel good when I draw Lizzie. I'm like,

270
00:17:14,869 --> 00:17:16,710
yeah, we're going to get that win.

271
00:17:17,329 --> 00:17:19,230
And when I get to the finish line, I'm
like, oh, that hurts.

272
00:17:19,470 --> 00:17:22,890
Yeah. I mean, somebody keeps beating you
and beating you. It's rough.

273
00:17:24,869 --> 00:17:26,109
Let's go out there and win one. Yeah.

274
00:17:26,569 --> 00:17:27,569
We're going to give it a whirl.

275
00:17:28,490 --> 00:17:31,910
Went up here to the chip draw with Lynn
Nullyweather and Lizzie Musi.

276
00:17:32,270 --> 00:17:33,270
So this makes.

277
00:17:33,550 --> 00:17:37,230
Out of nine races, this will be the
third time we break. She put me out two

278
00:17:37,230 --> 00:17:42,250
times. So every time I pull her tip, I'm
pretty confident. I'm feeling like,

279
00:17:42,330 --> 00:17:43,690
hey, I can get this. I got this.

280
00:17:44,230 --> 00:17:47,910
But when I get to the finish line, it
doesn't work out that well beside her.

281
00:17:48,190 --> 00:17:49,430
She's been whooping me bad.

282
00:17:49,970 --> 00:17:53,470
So hopefully I can pay her back a little
on this pass here.

283
00:17:57,150 --> 00:18:00,470
I feel good. We just got to keep this
motor alive. That's the biggest thing.

284
00:18:00,750 --> 00:18:02,230
We're fighting that right now.

285
00:18:02,670 --> 00:18:05,870
We literally, we didn't make a full pass
yesterday, and we were pulling this

286
00:18:05,870 --> 00:18:06,509
thing apart.

287
00:18:06,510 --> 00:18:10,950
So when people say that nitrous cars
have it easy in the West Coast, they're

288
00:18:10,950 --> 00:18:12,330
lying. They're lying.

289
00:18:13,030 --> 00:18:18,670
So we've got to keep it together and
hopefully go some rounds today. But a

290
00:18:18,670 --> 00:18:23,690
is always on the schedule for us, so
that's what we're hoping to get. But

291
00:18:23,690 --> 00:18:26,530
taking it round by round and see where
it puts us.

292
00:18:37,740 --> 00:18:42,160
if their burnout's over in the left
lane. That is going to be Axeman going

293
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,100
against Lizzie Musi in the right.

294
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:06,360
All right, next pair.

295
00:19:07,050 --> 00:19:11,330
That is going to be Axeman going up
against Lizzie Musi.

296
00:19:24,530 --> 00:19:26,410
Axeman takes the win.

297
00:19:26,710 --> 00:19:27,710
Nice.

298
00:19:28,170 --> 00:19:29,170
Good job.

299
00:19:29,990 --> 00:19:31,390
So we roll up, did a burnout.

300
00:19:31,710 --> 00:19:32,890
We roll up to the light.

301
00:19:33,270 --> 00:19:35,450
Light come on. I let out the button.
I've never seen it.

302
00:19:36,190 --> 00:19:37,850
I knew she's got that top -end pull.

303
00:19:38,070 --> 00:19:39,070
She's got it on everybody.

304
00:19:39,330 --> 00:19:42,090
I was feeling real calm. I said, she's
going to have to really be rolling to

305
00:19:42,090 --> 00:19:46,890
come back around me. As soon as I tagged
the finish line, boom, she dashed right

306
00:19:46,890 --> 00:19:49,390
past me. I was like, man. I looked over
to see my light on.

307
00:19:49,690 --> 00:19:51,550
I was glad to get that win.

308
00:19:52,150 --> 00:19:53,150
Check her ass.

309
00:19:54,110 --> 00:19:57,330
I just hate going out first round. It
sucks. But we knew we were going to

310
00:19:57,330 --> 00:19:58,330
struggle here.

311
00:19:58,390 --> 00:20:00,230
It is what it is. It's racing.

312
00:20:00,490 --> 00:20:02,170
It happens. We're going to move on.

313
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,800
Can't wait to head back over to the east
side because that's when we're really

314
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,980
going to, that's when it's about to go
down. I promise you that.

315
00:20:09,260 --> 00:20:10,239
But we owed you one.

316
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:11,540
Hey, yeah, I know it's true, yeah.

317
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:15,120
Man, that was tough. That was tough.
Good job. Hey, good job, guys.

318
00:20:15,340 --> 00:20:16,340
Now take it all the way.

319
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:17,760
We got you now.

320
00:20:18,060 --> 00:20:19,400
There's a lot of bears out here.

321
00:20:19,700 --> 00:20:23,420
All right, next pair coming at you right
now. That's John Hoda going up against

322
00:20:23,420 --> 00:20:25,100
Jeff Lutz.

323
00:20:25,580 --> 00:20:28,180
What pair of numbers are y 'all? I'm
five, so I got to get going up there.

324
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:29,760
He's five and you're...

325
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:31,380
I'm six. I'm right behind you.

326
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:35,520
Yeah, we're heading up. Okay. We have
Callie running Rankin. We got Jim Howell

327
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:39,220
running Scott Taylor. And we got John
running Jeff Lutz. I really do feel

328
00:20:39,220 --> 00:20:43,640
are three good races, and those cars are
capable of taking those three out.

329
00:20:44,060 --> 00:20:48,700
So I'm hoping that we can get four
drivers going into second round.

330
00:20:49,060 --> 00:20:50,060
Oh.

331
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,020
Got a two -call out. The rest are going
out of the bag. Too damn hot. Let's give

332
00:20:53,020 --> 00:20:54,020
a round of applause for your locals.

333
00:20:55,140 --> 00:20:56,720
Guys sitting in the car. Yeah.

334
00:20:58,159 --> 00:21:00,240
My crew's in the car. That's how hot it
is.

335
00:21:00,940 --> 00:21:02,180
They're sucking up the AC.

336
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,560
Today's conditions are hot and greasy.

337
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:08,500
It's going to be slimy out there. I
don't know how hot it is, but it feels

338
00:21:08,500 --> 00:21:13,540
100 degrees in the shade. So we just got
to be on it. It's going to be a tuner's

339
00:21:13,540 --> 00:21:14,540
game out there today.

340
00:21:15,020 --> 00:21:18,860
Going into first round driver's meeting,
I draw John Odom. He's one of my best

341
00:21:18,860 --> 00:21:20,160
friends. I love him to death.

342
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:21,560
Love you, buddy.

343
00:21:21,940 --> 00:21:23,020
Thank you. I love you.

344
00:21:23,420 --> 00:21:24,419
So watch.

345
00:21:24,420 --> 00:21:25,219
It's safe.

346
00:21:25,220 --> 00:21:28,780
His car's fast. We're going to have our
work cut out for us. So, you know, I'm

347
00:21:28,780 --> 00:21:31,840
not going to take him lightly, and I'll
just let Jeffrey do his thing.

348
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,100
Ready? Yep. We're going to give him
everything we got.

349
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:41,760
Turbo car.

350
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:49,360
All right, next pair coming at you right
now.

351
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,860
Over the right lane, that's John Odom
going up against Jeff.

352
00:21:53,310 --> 00:21:55,170
What? In the left lane.

353
00:22:24,490 --> 00:22:25,490
Nice job, baby.

354
00:22:25,610 --> 00:22:26,610
Next round.

355
00:22:26,730 --> 00:22:27,730
He got tree.

356
00:22:29,030 --> 00:22:34,230
Tree like a... All right, next pair
coming at you right here. Jim Howell

357
00:22:34,230 --> 00:22:36,110
up against Gooter Taylor.

358
00:22:37,450 --> 00:22:38,650
That's going to be a pretty good range.

359
00:22:47,110 --> 00:22:49,990
We're in Las Vegas, and I drew Jim
Howell.

360
00:22:50,210 --> 00:22:51,550
That's going to be a tough run.

361
00:22:53,379 --> 00:22:57,340
He has struggled a little bit this year,
so I'm not gonna say that we're

362
00:22:57,340 --> 00:23:00,540
outgunned by any means I think we're
both prepared for this fight.

363
00:23:00,780 --> 00:23:02,700
I've got my list. We're gonna check it
twice.

364
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,640
We'll go through I'm gonna comment down
just a little bit early, you know in the

365
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:11,520
racetrack the track is hot Greasy early,
so that's gonna be the toughest part.

366
00:23:11,620 --> 00:23:14,860
There's gonna be a lot of cars Don't
make the trip first round. I don't want

367
00:23:14,860 --> 00:23:15,860
be one of those

368
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:37,720
Three to get it, too.

369
00:23:37,780 --> 00:23:38,780
That was a fast.

370
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:40,080
Bam.

371
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,480
Hey, I'm telling you, he's fast.

372
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:48,860
He nipped me and Vandermeer by that
much. I knew he was fast.

373
00:23:49,420 --> 00:23:52,460
All right, folks. Next pair here is
going to be a good one. That is going to

374
00:23:52,460 --> 00:23:54,960
Giuseppe going up against Ryan Martin.

375
00:23:58,080 --> 00:23:59,080
Hey, thanks,

376
00:24:00,060 --> 00:24:01,060
buddy. You guys, too.

377
00:24:01,820 --> 00:24:06,060
First round, I draw my teammate,
Giuseppe. Not at all who I wanted to

378
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,520
literally doesn't help us any. That
means one of us is not advancing. So,

379
00:24:10,580 --> 00:24:15,020
we collect the 40 points for all four of
us being in the first round, but we're

380
00:24:15,020 --> 00:24:17,000
guaranteed that one of us doesn't make
it to the next round.

381
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:21,400
So not only do you have to worry about
that when you just draw the drivers, but

382
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:25,140
now either I'm going to go out early or
he's going to go out early, and it's not

383
00:24:25,140 --> 00:24:26,660
going to be good for the team no matter
how it happens.

384
00:24:35,150 --> 00:24:38,050
As a team, we're doing pretty good.
We've got four out of the five guys.

385
00:24:38,330 --> 00:24:42,190
Chuck, unfortunately, did not make it in
due to some type of equipment failure.

386
00:24:42,710 --> 00:24:44,030
But four out of five is good.

387
00:24:45,150 --> 00:24:49,810
Unfortunately, whenever you draw your
own teammates, you have to turn off team

388
00:24:49,810 --> 00:24:54,570
for a few minutes. You pull into the
staging lanes, and Giuseppe's another

389
00:24:54,570 --> 00:24:58,610
to me. And I hate it because he's my
buddy, he's my teammate, but I've got to

390
00:24:58,610 --> 00:25:01,330
give him the best race I can give him so
that I can be the guy to advance.

391
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:26,360
It was a close drag race, folks.

392
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:31,820
All right, next pair. Got Chuck 55 going
up against Nate Saylor.

393
00:26:24,940 --> 00:26:27,880
Got Chuck 55 going up against Nate
Taylor.

394
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:43,620
And Nate Taylor takes the win. That pro
-charged Nova.

395
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:48,920
All right, next pair. That's going to be
Clay Cole going up against Bobby

396
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,020
Ducote. Everything's good. We checked
for leaks.

397
00:26:51,360 --> 00:26:52,360
Everything's good.

398
00:26:53,140 --> 00:26:54,140
We'll be ready to go.

399
00:26:55,199 --> 00:26:57,860
Plug wires, double check everything,
make sure right order. Yeah.

400
00:26:58,260 --> 00:27:01,000
I just want to make sure everything's
perfect. I don't want no little problems

401
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:02,800
here. We're going up against Bobby
Ducati.

402
00:27:03,300 --> 00:27:05,200
We can't have nothing messed up. Yeah, I
know.

403
00:27:05,580 --> 00:27:07,400
We don't need no little problems getting
us.

404
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:09,320
Can't be taken lightly.

405
00:27:09,500 --> 00:27:12,820
No, not at all. We need to make sure
this thing's a hot rod all day.

406
00:27:13,460 --> 00:27:15,980
I got Bobby Ducati. I've not raced him
yet.

407
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,640
I got a lot of respect for him. I know
he's got a fast hot rod. Last weekend,

408
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:23,180
Denver, I went to the final against Kai.
So close to getting there.

409
00:27:23,710 --> 00:27:27,430
I want it so bad this week. I'm going to
do anything I can at all costs to get

410
00:27:27,430 --> 00:27:28,690
to the final and take home the win.

411
00:27:55,690 --> 00:27:59,910
We went out about 100 foot, and it shook
the tire or something fierce.

412
00:28:01,030 --> 00:28:03,950
I had to pedal it, started going toward
the center line, had to get back out of

413
00:28:03,950 --> 00:28:05,910
it. I seen him coming up on my left. I
was like, ah!

414
00:28:06,390 --> 00:28:08,050
So I went ahead and got back in the
throttle again.

415
00:28:08,290 --> 00:28:11,810
And thankfully, we turned on the wind
light. You can't pedal either?

416
00:28:12,130 --> 00:28:13,130
Like a nitrous car?

417
00:28:13,630 --> 00:28:15,230
No. No, bro.

418
00:28:15,930 --> 00:28:16,930
I pedaled twice.

419
00:28:17,530 --> 00:28:19,690
I've never done that. I was going, what?
What is it?

420
00:28:19,950 --> 00:28:21,510
Oh. You got two?

421
00:28:23,090 --> 00:28:24,090
I took the shoes off.

422
00:28:24,410 --> 00:28:27,850
Good job, Bubba. You too, Bubba.

423
00:28:28,670 --> 00:28:32,450
All right, next pair coming at you right
now. That is going to be Tony McKinney

424
00:28:32,450 --> 00:28:34,870
going up against Justin Swannstrom.

425
00:28:35,110 --> 00:28:38,230
I just want to come over here, man. I
hate that we have to run each other. I

426
00:28:38,230 --> 00:28:41,170
just telling them about it. But I said
the good thing about it is we all agree

427
00:28:41,170 --> 00:28:44,650
to it. At least one of us goes the next
round. Right. I mean, dude, it's just

428
00:28:44,650 --> 00:28:47,070
getting to the point now. We're in the
middle of the season going into the back

429
00:28:47,070 --> 00:28:50,370
half where we're going to have to really
start focusing.

430
00:28:50,990 --> 00:28:54,630
on trying to go after that championship.
You made great passes last night.

431
00:28:55,090 --> 00:28:57,470
Whatever happens, hopefully you do go
rounds today.

432
00:28:57,670 --> 00:28:58,990
Hopefully I can win as well.

433
00:28:59,210 --> 00:29:01,070
He told me he said blow it up to win.

434
00:29:01,370 --> 00:29:02,370
Yeah.

435
00:29:02,410 --> 00:29:07,270
You don't ever want to draw your
teammate, but I drew Tony McKinney. He

436
00:29:07,270 --> 00:29:12,450
yesterday. He had two great passes, won
his race his way in, and was able to

437
00:29:12,450 --> 00:29:13,890
help us out as a team.

438
00:29:14,110 --> 00:29:16,330
If I win, it's a great deal for me.

439
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,380
ended up the last couple races, haven't
been able to make it out of first round,

440
00:29:20,460 --> 00:29:22,880
so I will be extremely happy if I can
pull this off.

441
00:29:39,380 --> 00:29:43,320
Hey, Tony McKinney going to take the
win. Justice Watson rattles tires.

442
00:29:44,060 --> 00:29:45,060
That's all it took.

443
00:29:46,230 --> 00:29:49,490
First round win, I'll take it. We have
to race our team captain. Hopefully he

444
00:29:49,490 --> 00:29:50,490
don't fire me for that one.

445
00:29:51,110 --> 00:29:55,270
But hopefully he's proud of me for
making this trip and we made our way in.

446
00:29:55,550 --> 00:29:56,870
We can go a couple more rounds.

447
00:29:57,350 --> 00:30:01,390
Goal today is to go enough rounds that
we don't have to race our way in no

448
00:30:01,950 --> 00:30:06,590
Next pair, that is going to be David
Gates going up against Damon Merchant.

449
00:30:07,230 --> 00:30:08,230
Name our name.

450
00:30:08,490 --> 00:30:09,490
Gates.

451
00:30:10,350 --> 00:30:12,330
Gates is fast. He's in distance too.

452
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:19,000
As long as we make a good, clean run, I
think we can outrun them.

453
00:30:19,380 --> 00:30:22,540
John Hill, you know, it puts a little
lump in your throat.

454
00:30:22,820 --> 00:30:25,480
Here we go. We got a hitter. We need
this one.

455
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:31,300
With Giuseppe and Kayla going out, we
got, I mean, this is a good time to gain

456
00:30:31,300 --> 00:30:35,340
points. We were hitting as good as
number two for a long time this season,

457
00:30:35,340 --> 00:30:36,340
the first half of the season.

458
00:30:36,820 --> 00:30:40,440
Since, you know, since I've started
having trouble, Nate's had some trouble,

459
00:30:40,620 --> 00:30:41,740
Bowman hasn't.

460
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,620
Exactly found his way back into
Invitational.

461
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:49,100
Bobby's been maybe around here and
there, and Bodie's had a hard time

462
00:30:49,100 --> 00:30:50,059
into Invitational.

463
00:30:50,060 --> 00:30:53,020
Got to get guys going around and getting
some more points for the team.

464
00:30:53,780 --> 00:30:55,380
Let's go, Damian. We need you, baby.

465
00:31:05,340 --> 00:31:10,180
Next pair, Damian Gates in the left
lane, going up against Damian Merchant

466
00:31:10,180 --> 00:31:11,180
the right.

467
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,080
Damon Merchant, we know he's fast.

468
00:31:13,300 --> 00:31:14,440
He's always good on the tree.

469
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:18,320
You know, lately he's been kind of doing
good and doing bad, just kind of like

470
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,520
us. We've got something to work with,
and we're going to go out here and give

471
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:22,960
hell and see what he's got.

472
00:31:47,530 --> 00:31:50,990
I let go of the button, the car started
shaking, and it spun the whole way and

473
00:31:50,990 --> 00:31:53,950
turned sideways about 150 foot and just
had to abort the run.

474
00:31:54,250 --> 00:31:55,250
Did you make a trip?

475
00:31:55,270 --> 00:31:59,130
It shook right off the hit, and I tried
to drive through it. It just stayed

476
00:31:59,130 --> 00:32:02,170
spinning, spinning, spinning. It just
pissed off.

477
00:32:02,450 --> 00:32:04,070
Yep. Once they mad, they mad.

478
00:32:05,330 --> 00:32:08,070
We're seeing a ton of drivers experience
tire shake today.

479
00:32:08,630 --> 00:32:11,590
Tire shake can be caused when a car
doesn't have enough wheel speed and the

480
00:32:11,590 --> 00:32:12,950
tires hook too much.

481
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:17,240
Everyone is out here utilizing power
management for the slick parts of the

482
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:21,300
track. But then, when they hit a part of
the track that isn't slick, they don't

483
00:32:21,300 --> 00:32:24,620
have quite enough power in the car, and
it causes the tire to shake.

484
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:29,100
With today's conditions, the tune -ups
need to be perfect. Not too fast, not

485
00:32:29,100 --> 00:32:30,100
slow.

486
00:32:30,580 --> 00:32:34,320
Next pair coming at you right now, we've
got Jimmy Taylor going up against Kai

487
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:35,320
Kelly.

488
00:32:36,220 --> 00:32:37,320
Go get him, Kai.

489
00:32:39,700 --> 00:32:41,520
Oh. What race do you got?

490
00:32:42,340 --> 00:32:43,340
Well.

491
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:44,920
Y 'all up there?

492
00:32:44,980 --> 00:32:47,560
Yeah. Today, first round, we drew Jimmy
Taylor.

493
00:32:48,220 --> 00:32:51,560
I haven't watched this car make a single
pass all year. All I've heard is people

494
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,720
walking around the racetrack talking
about the new guy, this car is so damn

495
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,740
fast. How'd you feel that CO2 bottle up?

496
00:32:58,540 --> 00:33:00,300
I was good this morning. It felt good.

497
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:01,600
Okay.

498
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,760
With all that being said, after taking
that ass woman from Murder Nova last

499
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,400
night, we're just going to fight through
this weekend. I knew there was going to

500
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:08,400
be a weekend when I sucked.

501
00:33:08,860 --> 00:33:12,500
I done just that last night in a grade
8, and we're hoping to turn things

502
00:33:12,500 --> 00:33:13,500
today.

503
00:33:15,790 --> 00:33:17,610
It don't matter, man. Everybody up
today.

504
00:33:19,430 --> 00:33:20,430
Yeah, man.

505
00:33:22,470 --> 00:33:25,730
I hear going.

506
00:33:25,970 --> 00:33:26,970
What's working?

507
00:33:27,190 --> 00:33:30,850
Obviously, last night you had to race
your way in against Paige Coughlin. It

508
00:33:30,850 --> 00:33:32,070
a tight race. What happened?

509
00:33:32,750 --> 00:33:36,650
Well, we got going toward the wall and
got the steering wheel and it just

510
00:33:36,650 --> 00:33:39,050
wouldn't turn. I told my foot to lift,
but it just didn't lift.

511
00:33:40,710 --> 00:33:43,790
Well, last night we was on our run our
way in against Paige.

512
00:33:45,610 --> 00:33:47,850
The car started going left. We was out
in front.

513
00:33:48,090 --> 00:33:50,550
I just didn't lift. I stayed in it as
long as I could.

514
00:33:56,070 --> 00:34:02,870
All right,

515
00:34:03,030 --> 00:34:06,350
clear the starting line. Clear the
starting line. Jimmy Taylor into the

516
00:34:07,190 --> 00:34:09,790
We messed the car up a little bit, but
it was all just cosmetic.

517
00:34:10,510 --> 00:34:13,330
We turned on the wind light. We made it
in the race today.

518
00:34:14,030 --> 00:34:17,270
I mean, we're just super excited to make
it in again. This is our second time

519
00:34:17,270 --> 00:34:22,230
making it in in three races. So, I mean,
we really, we've really worked hard to

520
00:34:22,230 --> 00:34:23,230
get to this point.

521
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,219
We've got Jimmy Taylor in the right lane
going up against Ty Kelly.

522
00:35:05,180 --> 00:35:12,060
And Ty Kelly wins the drag race.

523
00:35:19,310 --> 00:35:20,590
I let go of the button against Jimmy.

524
00:35:21,870 --> 00:35:25,250
He was actually out in front of me a
little bit. I seen him over there. The

525
00:35:25,250 --> 00:35:26,169
started getting upset.

526
00:35:26,170 --> 00:35:27,170
My car started getting upset.

527
00:35:27,390 --> 00:35:30,450
I just drove through it. Made it to the
finish line and got the win.

528
00:35:30,730 --> 00:35:34,230
So we just got to get this thing figured
out because we need to go fast here in

529
00:35:34,230 --> 00:35:36,310
the later rounds because there's still
some heavy hitters in.

530
00:35:36,770 --> 00:35:37,770
That was fun.

531
00:35:37,990 --> 00:35:42,110
We went everything but straight, but I
never lifted. I held it to the finish

532
00:35:42,110 --> 00:35:43,110
line and we got the win.

533
00:35:43,730 --> 00:35:44,629
Next pair.

534
00:35:44,630 --> 00:35:47,970
That is going to be Larry Larson going
up against Brandon James.

535
00:36:02,890 --> 00:36:06,250
Cars running real good this weekend.
I've tried some different stuff last

536
00:36:06,450 --> 00:36:09,390
You know, we've got so many races in a
row. I've been some things I wanted to

537
00:36:09,390 --> 00:36:11,570
test. So everything's going good so far.

538
00:36:11,950 --> 00:36:14,390
First round here at Vegas, we drew
Brandon James.

539
00:36:15,210 --> 00:36:18,390
Brandon's good. Somebody said he's
making pretty nice runs last night.

540
00:36:18,670 --> 00:36:25,370
Every car here, barring something going
wrong, all the races are within a half a

541
00:36:25,370 --> 00:36:29,570
car. I mean, anybody can win any given
day, any given path.

542
00:36:30,570 --> 00:36:32,030
It's going to be a good race.

543
00:36:46,750 --> 00:36:50,610
And Larry Larson gets the win.

544
00:36:50,990 --> 00:36:53,170
Man, five and out.

545
00:36:54,090 --> 00:36:58,390
Next pair, that's going to be Rick
Bruder.

546
00:36:58,780 --> 00:37:00,260
Going up against Daddy Dave.

547
00:37:03,740 --> 00:37:09,360
We're 14th pair out, so I don't know if
it's bad or worse. The track's hot now,

548
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:11,860
but all those cars are going down. It
might be worse, but we'll see what

549
00:37:11,860 --> 00:37:14,980
happens. Once the sun comes off the
track, it tightens up and gets better.

550
00:37:15,340 --> 00:37:16,800
Right now, there's no clouds.

551
00:37:17,060 --> 00:37:19,940
The track gets a little greasier, so
you've got to come back and make some

552
00:37:19,940 --> 00:37:20,940
chassis adjustments.

553
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,740
We did that this morning, so we're
ready.

554
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,580
Yeah, forget all that data. It's
unbelievable.

555
00:37:30,980 --> 00:37:32,300
Hey, I laughed fast. It didn't mean
nothing.

556
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:33,660
No, it's not.

557
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:38,280
Because this track is nice and cool out
and tight. Yeah. Now it's sunny and

558
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:40,600
green. Yeah. No clouds. And no wind.

559
00:37:41,260 --> 00:37:42,780
Round one, we got Broody Brothers.

560
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:48,020
It's a winnable race if I get to tune up
right and get this thing going through

561
00:37:48,020 --> 00:37:49,020
there.

562
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:56,080
He can't win races.

563
00:37:56,729 --> 00:37:59,610
If you're running four seconds or
slower, you just can't do it. You've got

564
00:37:59,610 --> 00:38:01,770
in the freeze and you've got to go down
through there to win these races.

565
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:29,200
Kennedy Dave has issues just past the 60
foot.

566
00:38:34,180 --> 00:38:39,360
Got a little aggressive with it. It
shook really bad in the middle and out

567
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,880
back, actually. So it actually went
slower than any pass I've made here in

568
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:46,880
Vegas. I'm not a really good loser, and
I'm not a good first -round loser at

569
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:49,720
all. But lately, that seems to be the
norm.

570
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:53,760
Like this thing, the chassis, something
has kicked off with this chassis, and I

571
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:54,760
can't figure it out.

572
00:38:55,360 --> 00:39:00,180
The thing's a shaking pile of... Coming
at you right now, that's going to be

573
00:39:00,180 --> 00:39:02,620
Chris Rankin going up against Caley
Mills.

574
00:39:03,860 --> 00:39:05,180
Hey, so you know we drew Caley Mills.

575
00:39:05,660 --> 00:39:09,840
I mean, I feel good about it. I think...
Yeah, I was going to buy their old

576
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:10,940
motor when we broke this one in Ohio.

577
00:39:11,220 --> 00:39:14,900
We drew Caley Mills. I honestly feel
pretty good about it. The biggest part

578
00:39:14,900 --> 00:39:18,460
it, honestly, man, at this point is get
the Ws, grab those points for the team,

579
00:39:18,580 --> 00:39:22,680
hope we keep our car together, and the
whole team comes out on top at the end.

580
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:24,000
hope it's one of us taking the W home.

581
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:37,080
Coming at you right now over in the
right lane, that's going to be Chris

582
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:38,700
going up against Callie Mills.

583
00:39:39,140 --> 00:39:43,620
Chris Rankin is in Race Your Way In.
He's actually got three passes last

584
00:39:43,700 --> 00:39:48,020
so in his passes he did pretty well. He
made it down the track, so he can use

585
00:39:48,020 --> 00:39:50,740
that data from yesterday to make a tune
-up for today.

586
00:39:51,060 --> 00:39:55,620
I didn't have that. I didn't have as
many passes as him, so I'm honestly a

587
00:39:55,620 --> 00:39:57,260
little bit worried just because of that.

588
00:40:14,570 --> 00:40:16,890
And Chris Rankin takes the win.

589
00:40:17,090 --> 00:40:23,870
All right, folks, that is going to be B
-Rad going up against Murder

590
00:40:23,870 --> 00:40:24,870
Nova.

591
00:40:33,650 --> 00:40:37,130
I draw B -Rad, and it's never fun racing
your teammates.

592
00:40:37,530 --> 00:40:42,410
It sucks, and there's a reason that I
picked B -Rad on my team, because the

593
00:40:42,410 --> 00:40:43,490
goes down every pass.

594
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:49,740
On a tricky surface like this with how
hot it is and how greasy the track is,

595
00:40:49,860 --> 00:40:54,520
you can't mess up. So you make one
little slip and he's going to be there.

596
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:58,280
pressure is higher than it normally is
for a first round.

597
00:40:58,940 --> 00:41:03,860
All right, folks, this will be the last
pair of the Invitational first round.

598
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:32,400
Round one of the Invitational here in
Vegas is done and in the books, and it

599
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:36,820
looks like these tricky track conditions
have really shaken things up. But even

600
00:41:36,820 --> 00:41:41,180
with several big names out of the event,
the round two field is still stacked.

601
00:41:41,780 --> 00:41:46,860
Kai, Ryan, and Sean each have three
drivers still in, while Dave, Bodie, and

602
00:41:46,860 --> 00:41:47,860
Swanstrom have two.

603
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:52,480
And we can't forget about Larry Larson,
the Lone Ranger, holding it down for

604
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:53,480
Team Disco.

605
00:41:54,810 --> 00:41:58,370
Luckily for all these drivers, as the
day continues to cool down, the track

606
00:41:58,370 --> 00:42:01,910
should get better and better, which
means we could see some super fast

607
00:42:03,170 --> 00:42:06,830
All right, let's go ahead and start our
round two invitational drivers meeting.

608
00:42:07,890 --> 00:42:10,590
Yeah, let's go ahead and draw chips, see
who's racing who.

609
00:42:16,050 --> 00:42:18,190
All right, all my drivers have their
chips.

610
00:42:18,990 --> 00:42:21,510
Where are my number ones?

611
00:42:22,170 --> 00:42:28,910
Kyle Canyon going up against Ryan
Martin. Nate Saylor versus Murder Nova.

612
00:42:28,990 --> 00:42:34,270
This will be a rematch from last night's
Great Eight. Another good one. Robin

613
00:42:34,270 --> 00:42:35,970
Roberts versus Axeman.

614
00:42:36,850 --> 00:42:43,590
Number four is going to be Tony McKinney
and Blake Holt.

615
00:42:43,790 --> 00:42:50,050
Doc Love versus Larry Larson. Jim Howell
versus David Merchant.

616
00:42:51,070 --> 00:42:53,750
Jim Howe versus Damon Merchant.

617
00:42:55,050 --> 00:42:57,270
Number seven.

618
00:42:58,370 --> 00:43:01,150
Rich Bruder versus Kai Kelly.

619
00:43:01,850 --> 00:43:08,590
Which means my eighth and final pair
will be Chris Rankin

620
00:43:08,590 --> 00:43:10,410
versus Jeff Lutz.

621
00:43:10,690 --> 00:43:13,050
Battle of the Turbo Cars.

622
00:43:17,150 --> 00:43:20,210
All right, drivers, go back to your
pits, get your cars turned around, bring

623
00:43:20,210 --> 00:43:22,890
them in the staging lanes. We're going
to get that much closer to see who's

624
00:43:22,890 --> 00:43:24,670
going to win $40 ,000.

625
00:43:26,670 --> 00:43:30,470
Let's see which driver will make it to
the third round of this Invitational

626
00:43:30,470 --> 00:43:31,470
Black.

627
00:43:32,250 --> 00:43:35,850
Kyle Canyon with the pro -charge Camaro
against Ryan Martin.

628
00:43:37,270 --> 00:43:38,270
Travis,

629
00:43:42,850 --> 00:43:43,850
what do you think?

630
00:43:43,930 --> 00:43:45,590
I like it, man. You like it good?

631
00:43:46,190 --> 00:43:49,670
In second round, I drew Kyle Canyon.
He's been making some waves. His car

632
00:43:49,670 --> 00:43:53,890
well. It's a copy, you know, pretty much
of my car. You know, the same combo

633
00:43:53,890 --> 00:43:57,410
that I won the championship with the
last two years. He has a good tuner.

634
00:43:57,410 --> 00:44:00,830
against a guy like that, got to be in
your A game.

635
00:44:01,190 --> 00:44:02,610
Like, should I swing out more than I am?

636
00:44:04,770 --> 00:44:09,430
We're going to step it up. The shade is
just getting on the racetrack, and that

637
00:44:09,430 --> 00:44:10,990
instantly makes for a better racetrack.

638
00:44:12,070 --> 00:44:14,390
I haven't got the race run yet. I'm
looking forward to it.

639
00:44:14,700 --> 00:44:16,400
It'd be a huge deal if I can get a win
over Ryan.

640
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:20,280
We've got to give this thing everything
it's got to get around Ryan, so I'm sure

641
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:22,740
Chase will go in there, and he usually
doesn't tell me when he turns it all the

642
00:44:22,740 --> 00:44:25,540
way up, but I'm sure he's going to go up
there and hit that up arrow as far as

643
00:44:25,540 --> 00:44:26,540
it'll go.

644
00:44:58,690 --> 00:44:59,690
We take off.

645
00:45:00,850 --> 00:45:03,150
There's a point when you let go of the
button and the car kind of settles in.

646
00:45:03,550 --> 00:45:07,490
And right when the car settled in, boom,
everything went away. I had no power.

647
00:45:07,630 --> 00:45:09,310
Watched Kyle Canyon drive out of my
life.

648
00:45:10,150 --> 00:45:12,450
He was turned off at the beginning
before I was at the 330.

649
00:45:13,870 --> 00:45:19,410
Turns out that the shaft on the blower
drive broke as soon as I let go of the

650
00:45:19,410 --> 00:45:24,250
button. So my car made it approximately
20 foot and then gave up the ghost when

651
00:45:24,250 --> 00:45:29,050
it comes to the supercharger. So after
this race was left, And I got to be the

652
00:45:29,050 --> 00:45:30,850
lights out. Ty's got to do bad.

653
00:45:31,130 --> 00:45:33,790
Some people in front of me got to do
bad. There's a lot of crazy stuff that's

654
00:45:33,790 --> 00:45:37,690
got to happen. This is 100 % season six.
It's the most challenging season that I

655
00:45:37,690 --> 00:45:38,810
have ever had in MBK.

656
00:45:41,870 --> 00:45:46,690
This next pair right here, that is going
to be Nate Saylor going up against

657
00:45:46,690 --> 00:45:47,690
Murder Nova.

658
00:45:48,730 --> 00:45:49,730
Hey, Phantom.

659
00:45:50,610 --> 00:45:51,910
Put this in.

660
00:45:52,270 --> 00:45:56,610
Round two, we go up. We draw Nate
Saylor. We know what Nate's about. We

661
00:45:56,610 --> 00:45:57,610
fast Nate is.

662
00:45:57,820 --> 00:45:59,800
We raced Nate in the finals last night
of the grade eight.

663
00:46:07,780 --> 00:46:14,720
But it's a big difference in the track
from last night to today.

664
00:46:15,620 --> 00:46:17,240
It's definitely going to be a tuners
game.

665
00:46:18,020 --> 00:46:22,100
And we're going to see if his tuner is
better than me at this point.

666
00:46:24,810 --> 00:46:27,250
I'm going to do the same thing I always
try to do. I'm going to try to leave on

667
00:46:27,250 --> 00:46:28,810
him. I'm going to try to get to the
finish line first.

668
00:46:29,030 --> 00:46:31,310
Usually he who leaves first is going to
get the win.

669
00:46:31,690 --> 00:46:34,650
And we've been on the light and we've
been rolling all weekend.

670
00:46:42,670 --> 00:46:47,550
He's running an MH7 ProLine Hemi. So are
we. He's running a ProCharger. So are

671
00:46:47,550 --> 00:46:49,490
we. He's running a Mark Mickey
transmission.

672
00:46:49,830 --> 00:46:51,710
So are we. Our setups are almost
identical.

673
00:46:52,070 --> 00:46:55,390
It's going to come down to driver and
tuner to win this race.

674
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:23,640
Redemption Day. It's a badass.

675
00:47:24,180 --> 00:47:25,480
I let go of the button.

676
00:47:26,720 --> 00:47:30,340
I could hear him, but I couldn't see
him. And last night, I could see him out

677
00:47:30,340 --> 00:47:32,200
door, so I knew we were out in front of
him.

678
00:47:34,460 --> 00:47:35,640
Man, I needed that.

679
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:37,980
Good job, man. Good job.

680
00:47:38,380 --> 00:47:39,339
Thanks, man.

681
00:47:39,340 --> 00:47:42,500
It was the opposite of what it was last
night. I think you got me about what I

682
00:47:42,500 --> 00:47:44,600
got you last night. And we just got
outran.

683
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:50,500
I didn't put enough tune up in the car.
The car was slow, and we got outran.

684
00:47:51,580 --> 00:47:53,220
Holy, we got a race car, dude.

685
00:47:53,620 --> 00:47:54,620
This thing's fast.

686
00:47:55,240 --> 00:47:59,660
Next pair, that is going to be Robin
Roberts. He is going up against Axeman.

687
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:03,320
I'm glad I got back in left lane. I
just, I don't know.

688
00:48:03,860 --> 00:48:07,600
I usually don't want left lane, but
since I made a pass in left, I just

689
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:08,680
go back to it. Feel comfortable?

690
00:48:08,980 --> 00:48:09,980
Yeah.

691
00:48:10,180 --> 00:48:11,149
Robin's no joke.

692
00:48:11,150 --> 00:48:12,250
Round two, I threw Robin Roberts.

693
00:48:12,470 --> 00:48:16,470
Robin has outran Ryan a couple times.
He's outran a lot of heavy hitters. So I

694
00:48:16,470 --> 00:48:17,550
know he's got his stuff together.

695
00:48:17,830 --> 00:48:20,350
He does have the bigger engine. That's a
couple hundred horsepower.

696
00:48:20,830 --> 00:48:22,630
So going into this, that's in my mind.

697
00:48:23,130 --> 00:48:26,790
I kind of got the lane I want. So
hopefully, we can go up there and take

698
00:48:26,790 --> 00:48:28,310
out. Tracks will cool down.

699
00:48:28,810 --> 00:48:30,430
That's going to help the car go a little
faster.

700
00:48:30,790 --> 00:48:33,490
We'll turn a little too long, change his
shift a little bit.

701
00:48:34,190 --> 00:48:35,210
Hopefully, we can pull it off.

702
00:48:44,810 --> 00:48:48,090
Just finish up the bird out. This is
going to be a good one right here over

703
00:48:48,090 --> 00:48:51,910
the right lane. That is going to be
Robin Roberts driving the Firebird.

704
00:48:52,310 --> 00:48:56,490
He is going up against Axeman over in
the left lane.

705
00:48:56,910 --> 00:49:00,590
Axeman is doing really well this year.
He's won a grade A. He always runs well.

706
00:49:00,710 --> 00:49:03,990
My goal here is to ax the Axeman. We're
going to chop him down.

707
00:49:04,210 --> 00:49:07,410
That's what we're out here for is to
keep going and win this thing.

708
00:49:29,550 --> 00:49:33,790
Nice pass there in the right lane. Takes
the win. He will move on to the third

709
00:49:33,790 --> 00:49:34,790
round.

710
00:49:35,210 --> 00:49:36,390
Coming at you right now.

711
00:49:36,590 --> 00:49:39,730
That's going to be Tony McKinney going
up against Clay Cole.

712
00:49:57,170 --> 00:49:59,010
We're happy we made it past first round.

713
00:49:59,450 --> 00:50:00,590
You know, Bruce had made a comment.

714
00:50:00,850 --> 00:50:02,790
Hey, you never see us in the second
round.

715
00:50:03,050 --> 00:50:06,450
He never sees us in the first round. So
I'm really happy to be here.

716
00:50:06,850 --> 00:50:10,690
Hopefully we can push on. I want to go
on two more rounds, three more rounds,

717
00:50:10,790 --> 00:50:13,750
get into the semis and the finals. And
if I can do that, I'll be a star.

718
00:50:33,390 --> 00:50:36,230
And Tony McKinney gets the win. Clay
Cole has an issue.

719
00:50:36,810 --> 00:50:38,050
Has to get out of it.

720
00:50:38,270 --> 00:50:39,810
Get a shot. Hell yeah.

721
00:50:43,410 --> 00:50:44,410
Woo!

722
00:50:45,270 --> 00:50:48,850
It felt good to take that win from him.
It sucks you've got to put these guys

723
00:50:48,850 --> 00:50:52,270
out. We all work really hard. But as
long as I keep going around, I'm going

724
00:50:52,270 --> 00:50:53,530
be ecstatic. That's what I'm going to
do.

725
00:50:54,990 --> 00:50:55,990
Yeah.

726
00:50:56,230 --> 00:50:57,230
Redemption Day.

727
00:50:57,750 --> 00:50:58,750
Woo!

728
00:50:59,790 --> 00:51:04,670
All right, next pair. That is going to
be Larry Larson going up against Doc

729
00:51:04,670 --> 00:51:05,670
Love.

730
00:51:07,870 --> 00:51:08,689
We're good.

731
00:51:08,690 --> 00:51:12,010
Round two, chip draw. I'm on cloud nine,
you know. I feel like we won our

732
00:51:12,010 --> 00:51:17,050
playoff, and the rest of this is just
icing on the cake, you know. Hey, do

733
00:51:17,230 --> 00:51:18,089
Go to work.

734
00:51:18,090 --> 00:51:21,330
But make no mistakes about it. You know,
everybody else had a five race that

735
00:51:21,330 --> 00:51:25,950
started over me, so I'm behind on
points. I need to go three rounds to

736
00:51:25,950 --> 00:51:28,730
spot in next week's race. Through Larry
Larson.

737
00:51:29,420 --> 00:51:34,220
Not a bunch of people are Larry Larson
fans, you know, including my team.

738
00:51:34,460 --> 00:51:39,420
So that's a matchup that I'm really
looking forward to. And I feel like we

739
00:51:39,420 --> 00:51:41,260
a Larry Larson killer tuned up in the
clock.

740
00:51:51,820 --> 00:51:57,140
All right, next pair. That is going to
be Larry Larson going up against Doc

741
00:51:57,140 --> 00:51:58,140
Love.

742
00:52:16,630 --> 00:52:20,430
job. Larry Larson will move on to the
third round.

743
00:52:21,290 --> 00:52:22,290
Two down.

744
00:52:23,190 --> 00:52:24,490
Oh boy, it feels good.

745
00:52:25,950 --> 00:52:26,950
Alright,

746
00:52:27,830 --> 00:52:29,190
next pair coming up right here.

747
00:52:29,690 --> 00:52:33,030
Jim Howell going up against Damon
Merchant.

748
00:52:34,730 --> 00:52:39,770
So you know it's probably been bugging
Howell that we beat him twice in the

749
00:52:39,770 --> 00:52:44,510
car. So it's going to be a big deal for
him to outrun us in his own car.

750
00:52:45,290 --> 00:52:49,030
Round two chip draw, we draw Jim Howe.
We raced him in Epping, raced him in

751
00:52:49,030 --> 00:52:50,370
Tulsa, beat him both times.

752
00:52:50,650 --> 00:52:53,350
I'd love to come in this a little more
confident than I have over the last few

753
00:52:53,350 --> 00:52:54,430
races, but we've been having trouble.

754
00:52:55,190 --> 00:53:00,110
He's got a hot rod over there. Those
screw blow combinations are wicked fast

755
00:53:00,110 --> 00:53:01,110
just about anything.

756
00:53:01,250 --> 00:53:02,950
I mean, he claims that this one's
faster.

757
00:53:03,250 --> 00:53:07,550
He's supposedly a self -proclaimed
better driver than Odom and everything

758
00:53:07,570 --> 00:53:10,280
but... I think he's going to come into
this with something to prove.

759
00:53:10,540 --> 00:53:14,600
So maybe going into this race, a third
time's a charm to shut him up once and

760
00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:17,840
for all. I feel like we got a really
good handle on the car. Last night made

761
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:18,658
killer pass.

762
00:53:18,660 --> 00:53:20,680
Today, first round, made a good lick.

763
00:53:20,980 --> 00:53:24,820
He's got a fast car, but I think we got
a faster car. So time to go into the

764
00:53:24,820 --> 00:53:27,900
second round and bust his ass and go on
to the third. He's wanting to bet $1

765
00:53:27,900 --> 00:53:30,900
,000. I just blew him off because we've
done that before.

766
00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:35,760
So some people do this for the racing
aspect of it. Some do it for money.

767
00:53:36,940 --> 00:53:41,100
cameras and that kind of we've proven
that that's what they're all about they

768
00:53:41,100 --> 00:53:45,300
haven't said about this in a while
though so but kicking his ass twice with

769
00:53:45,300 --> 00:53:51,500
he'll do that you know so is it true you
drew damon merchant i did oh damon yeah

770
00:53:51,500 --> 00:53:55,200
i feel like like you got it yeah you
know we don't tear anything up if our

771
00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:58,800
ignition system will stay together i
think that we can outrun him so we'll

772
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:03,820
haven't got to race damon in the camaro
and so Looking forward to it, you know

773
00:54:03,820 --> 00:54:06,440
what I'm saying? We can't be too cocky
or confident because we don't know if

774
00:54:06,440 --> 00:54:09,460
we've got a fixed race car. But if it
makes the trip and doesn't break, I feel

775
00:54:09,460 --> 00:54:12,040
pretty confident about racing him. But
one thing that people don't understand,

776
00:54:12,260 --> 00:54:13,860
Damon and I have friendly rivalry.

777
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:18,940
Like, you know, I have a problem with
the ruling on his combination.

778
00:54:19,460 --> 00:54:23,420
But nonetheless, it's there. We've got
to race with it. So it's pushed me to

779
00:54:23,420 --> 00:54:25,680
work a little harder, and we'll see how
it goes.

780
00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:29,840
I hope Damon thinks it's friendly. I
mean, we cut up a lot. Next week, I'm

781
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:31,680
probably going to sport a I Love Hot
Damon t -shirt.

782
00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:35,040
We'll see how this one goes. That orange
one might be harder to get around than

783
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:36,040
that blue one.

784
00:55:45,290 --> 00:55:47,530
Maybe we shut them up once and for all.

785
00:55:49,470 --> 00:55:54,250
We go up there, get in the beans, let go
of the button, and never seen the dude.

786
00:55:54,330 --> 00:55:56,450
I don't look back. I'm getting data for
the next round.

787
00:55:59,020 --> 00:56:02,620
We kicked his ass. He can go over there
and sign autographs or, you know, take

788
00:56:02,620 --> 00:56:05,520
pictures or whatever he wants to do. And
we're going to continue racing tonight.

789
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:11,320
All right, next pair, Rich Bruder going
up against Ty Kelly.

790
00:56:13,020 --> 00:56:15,960
So what are we going to do?

791
00:56:16,340 --> 00:56:19,460
Round two, I drew the Bruder brothers.
They're coming off a win against Dave.

792
00:56:19,740 --> 00:56:23,260
Dave starts being fast all year. So if
they outrun Dave, that means they are

793
00:56:23,260 --> 00:56:25,380
making good passes. So we can't take
them for granted.

794
00:56:26,320 --> 00:56:27,320
Yes.

795
00:56:27,740 --> 00:56:28,800
It's ready to go.

796
00:56:29,420 --> 00:56:32,300
There's a lot of knowledge and a lot of
money on that team, so all it's going to

797
00:56:32,300 --> 00:56:35,260
take is for a team like that to just
finally, all the stars line up and

798
00:56:35,260 --> 00:56:38,820
going to be bad fast, and it could be
here. He came out today, he beat Dave,

799
00:56:38,820 --> 00:56:40,000
all the signs are there.

800
00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:42,860
We need to go fast to beat this dude,
and that's exactly what we're going to

801
00:56:42,860 --> 00:56:43,860
to do.

802
00:56:49,500 --> 00:56:51,320
It was a tough draw. We got Kai Kelly.

803
00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:56,480
You know, he's the number one guy right
now, so I'm going to race my lane. We're

804
00:56:56,480 --> 00:56:57,419
going to race our car.

805
00:56:57,420 --> 00:57:00,800
We are in Vegas, so your gambling needs
some luck. Like I said, we're going up

806
00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:03,000
there with some luck and be back here
and win the second round.

807
00:57:27,340 --> 00:57:29,060
She's back, baby. She's back.

808
00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:30,280
Thank God.

809
00:57:30,820 --> 00:57:33,400
By the time he showed up to the race,
Django, eh?

810
00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:37,100
Battle of the turbo cars coming at you
right now.

811
00:57:38,860 --> 00:57:43,180
That is going to be Chris Rankin going
up against Jeff Lutz.

812
00:57:50,020 --> 00:57:51,920
We're going up against Chris Rankin.

813
00:57:52,300 --> 00:57:53,300
He's fast.

814
00:57:56,240 --> 00:57:57,240
Good friend of ours.

815
00:57:57,600 --> 00:57:58,860
He's a fellow turbo guy.

816
00:57:59,460 --> 00:58:03,200
But, you know, to be the best, you got
to beat the best.

817
00:58:03,420 --> 00:58:05,340
And you know what? He's in my way.

818
00:58:05,560 --> 00:58:10,940
We need less to win this one because
Damon and Nate is still in it.

819
00:58:12,860 --> 00:58:14,620
Junior got good data from first round.

820
00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:17,140
We're going to roll in the second round,
and we're just going to keep getting

821
00:58:17,140 --> 00:58:18,220
faster the rest of the night.

822
00:58:19,820 --> 00:58:21,380
That's our first time ever in the second
round.

823
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:23,720
Pumped up.

824
00:58:24,140 --> 00:58:26,930
VDAT. Now we're looking to move into the
third round.

825
00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:05,480
Pass right there from Jeff Lutz. Nice
job.

826
00:59:06,100 --> 00:59:08,060
Way to go, Jeffrey. Way to go!

827
00:59:09,640 --> 00:59:11,060
Round three, baby!

828
00:59:11,340 --> 00:59:15,940
It feels great getting closer to 40K,
and I'm the last guy standing from Team

829
00:59:15,940 --> 00:59:20,120
Murder Nova. You know, I need to rep my
team well, and that's my plan for the

830
00:59:20,120 --> 00:59:21,120
rest of the night.

831
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:24,000
Ty.

832
00:59:24,980 --> 00:59:27,720
Man, he just got in, man.

833
00:59:29,300 --> 00:59:31,040
Right there, boy.

834
00:59:36,620 --> 00:59:39,780
Heading into round three, there are
eight killers still in the event. And

835
00:59:39,780 --> 00:59:42,880
that the sun is down, the track is going
to be extremely good.

836
00:59:43,300 --> 00:59:47,480
All those slick, greasy spots that gave
people fits early in the rounds are now

837
00:59:47,480 --> 00:59:50,740
gone, and these drivers can really start
getting after it.

838
00:59:54,860 --> 00:59:57,000
Let's go ahead and draw chips, see who's
racing who.

839
01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:04,920
All right, all my drivers have their
chips. Where are my number?

840
01:00:05,710 --> 01:00:06,710
One.

841
01:00:07,490 --> 01:00:12,030
First pair is going to be Damon Merchant
and Kai Kelly.

842
01:00:12,710 --> 01:00:13,710
Wow.

843
01:00:14,530 --> 01:00:19,130
Number two. All right. Larry Larson
versus Kyle Canyon.

844
01:00:19,410 --> 01:00:25,850
Third pair is going to be Tony McKinney
and Jeff Lutz, which means

845
01:00:25,850 --> 01:00:32,630
our fourth and final pair will be Nate
Saylor and Robin Roberts.

846
01:00:32,990 --> 01:00:33,990
All right, y 'all.

847
01:00:34,160 --> 01:00:37,200
You know who you're racing. You know
what you got to do. Go back to the pit,

848
01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:39,880
your car turned around, and we'll see
you in the stage lane. Let's go.

849
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:42,640
All right.

850
01:00:42,880 --> 01:00:46,000
Damon Merchant going up against Kai
Kelly.

851
01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:50,160
Went up there and drew Damon, man. So
you get another chance to outrun him.

852
01:00:50,780 --> 01:00:53,160
That's good because I feel like you got
the tools to outrun him now.

853
01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:56,660
Yeah. I got my favorite lane.

854
01:00:56,940 --> 01:00:57,940
All right, Lane.

855
01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:01,720
I drew my normal first, second, and
third pair.

856
01:01:02,380 --> 01:01:03,380
That's okay.

857
01:01:04,299 --> 01:01:07,340
Good thing he used Robin Roberts and
Nate Saylor drew each other, and they

858
01:01:07,340 --> 01:01:09,060
to be the two cars that's hauling ass
today.

859
01:01:09,380 --> 01:01:12,780
We drew Damon Mercer. The last couple
races, he struggled.

860
01:01:13,220 --> 01:01:16,920
He's had some problems with some
injector drivers, and he's got it

861
01:01:16,920 --> 01:01:21,040
now, and we drew him. So I couldn't draw
him none while he was sucking. Now I've

862
01:01:21,040 --> 01:01:22,160
got to draw him when he's at his best.

863
01:01:32,430 --> 01:01:36,250
I've been having a few issues the last
two races, and he's been killing it,

864
01:01:36,290 --> 01:01:39,910
going around and, you know, took over
that number one spot and kind of ran

865
01:01:39,910 --> 01:01:43,350
with it. I think he was five or six
rounds over us coming into this deal.

866
01:01:43,630 --> 01:01:48,570
This is the perfect opportunity for me
to, like I said, bust his ass right here

867
01:01:48,570 --> 01:01:50,990
and go some rounds and catch up on some
of them points.

868
01:01:51,310 --> 01:01:55,490
All right, David Ferguson going up
against Kai Kelly.

869
01:02:38,510 --> 01:02:39,550
It blew the blower off.

870
01:02:40,510 --> 01:02:42,770
The motor just went lean, got a piston
or something.

871
01:02:43,090 --> 01:02:46,650
And that's what happens, you know, when
you're out here trying to give your

872
01:02:46,650 --> 01:02:47,650
combination all it's got.

873
01:02:47,730 --> 01:02:50,910
You was a little faster early, and I was
catching you on the big end, but it was

874
01:02:50,910 --> 01:02:52,390
walking a huge willy.

875
01:02:53,210 --> 01:02:55,530
Pretty sure you was going to beat me to
the finish line, and that happened.

876
01:02:55,870 --> 01:02:56,870
Damn.

877
01:02:57,550 --> 01:03:00,270
Yeah, that sucked. Yeah, it done that
while it was this high in the air.

878
01:03:01,410 --> 01:03:03,150
Was that one of those, like, fireball
type?

879
01:03:03,390 --> 01:03:04,390
That wasn't bad.

880
01:03:04,610 --> 01:03:06,010
Wasn't bad? It was just like a whew.

881
01:03:07,070 --> 01:03:08,038
It's like an arc.

882
01:03:08,040 --> 01:03:10,900
Yeah. No, it was a big claim. That was a
good race. Yeah.

883
01:03:11,460 --> 01:03:16,000
Team -wise, I think we'll still be
number one leaving this race. But if

884
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:19,580
and Nate do end up going to the finals
together, they're going to gain some

885
01:03:19,580 --> 01:03:22,000
points on them. Luckily, they're the
number four team and they're not the

886
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:22,759
two team.

887
01:03:22,760 --> 01:03:24,460
You owe me a blower.

888
01:03:25,560 --> 01:03:28,160
I need that. I got to win one. Y 'all
got to win.

889
01:03:30,600 --> 01:03:31,600
Two.

890
01:03:33,220 --> 01:03:35,620
Next pair, going to be Kyle Canyon.

891
01:03:36,060 --> 01:03:40,500
in the pro -charge Camaro versus Larry
Larson in the Cadillac.

892
01:03:41,240 --> 01:03:42,280
Third round chip draw.

893
01:03:42,520 --> 01:03:43,780
We drew Kyle Canyon.

894
01:03:44,180 --> 01:03:47,740
Kyle's been good. He's got Chase tuning
that thing, and he gets plenty of looks

895
01:03:47,740 --> 01:03:51,160
at the racetrack. So cross my fingers if
I can leave on him and get this thing

896
01:03:51,160 --> 01:03:52,740
to go down through there smooth. I hope
we got it.

897
01:04:01,300 --> 01:04:02,300
Trans out.

898
01:04:02,420 --> 01:04:03,640
Is it moving? Yeah.

899
01:04:04,060 --> 01:04:05,060
Trans is done.

900
01:04:11,440 --> 01:04:12,078
What about second?

901
01:04:12,080 --> 01:04:13,720
I got nothing. Nothing at all? Okay.

902
01:04:16,660 --> 01:04:19,280
Tried to put it in gear to go up to do
the burnout, and I have nothing.

903
01:04:19,520 --> 01:04:22,860
So I had the guys run back and look to
make sure the shifter linkage was still

904
01:04:22,860 --> 01:04:26,740
connected. Sometimes that comes loose.
Tried reverse, tried forward gear, all

905
01:04:26,740 --> 01:04:28,500
three forward gears, nothing.

906
01:04:28,940 --> 01:04:31,940
It has just completely lost the
transmission.

907
01:04:32,160 --> 01:04:35,260
There's no converter pressure, so it
probably destroyed the pump inside the

908
01:04:35,260 --> 01:04:36,680
transmission. It won't move.

909
01:04:40,200 --> 01:04:42,840
Shifters, Lincoln's are all good.
Everything, no forwards, no backwards,

910
01:04:42,840 --> 01:04:43,900
second, no third, no nothing.

911
01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:47,580
Transmission. Like, moves, nothing.

912
01:04:49,520 --> 01:04:52,320
All right, so it's going to be a single
here for Larry Larson.

913
01:04:52,660 --> 01:04:55,120
Kyle Canyon is not going to make the
call.

914
01:05:11,820 --> 01:05:16,480
Terry Lawson looks like he shakes a tire
there past about 150 feet. Has to get

915
01:05:16,480 --> 01:05:21,180
out of it, but it is a by run, so he
will go on to the semifinal.

916
01:05:21,980 --> 01:05:26,320
All right, third pair. It's going to be
Tony McKinney going up against Jeff

917
01:05:26,320 --> 01:05:27,320
Lutz.

918
01:05:28,580 --> 01:05:29,700
Thank you.

919
01:05:30,900 --> 01:05:31,900
Round three, baby.

920
01:05:32,380 --> 01:05:36,780
Third round driver's meeting, I draw
Tony McKinney. He's the last guy

921
01:05:36,780 --> 01:05:37,780
for Team Swanston.

922
01:05:37,960 --> 01:05:39,280
Hopefully I can take him out.

923
01:05:39,640 --> 01:05:42,960
We just keep getting faster and faster.
The air is getting better and better,

924
01:05:43,100 --> 01:05:45,560
and we're just going to keep turning it
up until we can't do it anymore.

925
01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:47,240
One round at a time.

926
01:05:47,720 --> 01:05:51,540
I'm the last man standing for Murder
Nova's team, and I got to do good.

927
01:05:52,040 --> 01:05:53,220
I got Tony McKinney.

928
01:05:55,020 --> 01:05:57,120
I need you to have to win this.

929
01:06:04,010 --> 01:06:07,090
Me and Doc both went out in the second
round, but we still got Jeff Lutz in it.

930
01:06:07,110 --> 01:06:08,110
He's holding strong.

931
01:06:08,250 --> 01:06:13,650
Right now, we're a solid one round away
from catching Team Bodie. So Jeff is

932
01:06:13,650 --> 01:06:17,310
going to have to go a couple more rounds
than each of those two. And that's all

933
01:06:17,310 --> 01:06:18,670
we got to do is put points on the board.

934
01:06:45,620 --> 01:06:49,160
Left lane, Jeff Lutz takes the win.

935
01:06:49,420 --> 01:06:50,420
Yeah.

936
01:06:51,560 --> 01:06:52,560
Hey,

937
01:06:52,900 --> 01:06:55,780
it seems like he's just so calm and
he's... Jeffrey,

938
01:06:58,460 --> 01:06:59,460
you are the man.

939
01:07:00,380 --> 01:07:02,820
I let the button go. I never seen him.

940
01:07:03,640 --> 01:07:07,600
That car's on a tear right now. To be in
the fourth round with this thing after

941
01:07:07,600 --> 01:07:10,480
the troubles we've had is just amazing.

942
01:07:11,980 --> 01:07:13,940
Finally coming together, and we're going
round.

943
01:07:14,620 --> 01:07:16,720
Holy... Good job, man. Good job, man.

944
01:07:17,740 --> 01:07:22,100
Coming at you right now, that is going
to be Robin Roberts going up against

945
01:07:22,100 --> 01:07:23,100
Saylor.

946
01:07:23,760 --> 01:07:25,440
All right, just do like you did last
time.

947
01:07:25,980 --> 01:07:30,260
You cut a great life, so just
concentrate and just do like y 'all used

948
01:07:30,520 --> 01:07:32,020
Yep. Have fun.

949
01:07:32,360 --> 01:07:33,360
Have fun, okay?

950
01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:36,740
This round, I draw Nate Saylor.

951
01:07:37,180 --> 01:07:38,800
I've never raced Nate Saylor before.

952
01:07:39,080 --> 01:07:41,340
He's new to the sport, but he's been
killing it, so...

953
01:07:41,660 --> 01:07:43,760
We're going to have to put it in it.
We're going to have to really get on

954
01:07:43,760 --> 01:07:44,759
car to go get him.

955
01:07:44,760 --> 01:07:48,820
Now that it's cool, we kind of know what
to do. This will mimic what we did in

956
01:07:48,820 --> 01:07:51,520
Tulsa, so we're going to go after him
hard. He's going to have to run hard to

957
01:07:51,520 --> 01:07:52,520
beat us.

958
01:07:56,800 --> 01:08:01,000
All right, here we go. Last pair of the
third round of the Invitational Blast

959
01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:02,000
coming at you right now.

960
01:08:02,400 --> 01:08:06,240
Over in the right lane, that is going to
be Robin Roberts in the blue fiber

961
01:08:06,240 --> 01:08:10,460
going up against Nate Saylor in the left
lane.

962
01:08:51,760 --> 01:08:53,120
I'm so jacked right now.

963
01:08:53,340 --> 01:08:57,920
We're going on to the semis. We got
ourselves a bad son of a bitch here. We

964
01:08:57,920 --> 01:08:58,898
Robin was fast.

965
01:08:58,899 --> 01:09:00,899
We knew we had to turn it up. Lee turned
it up.

966
01:09:01,100 --> 01:09:04,779
She just f***ing get. So, super excited.

967
01:09:05,060 --> 01:09:06,500
Man, that was a hell of a drag race.

968
01:09:06,840 --> 01:09:09,720
Yeah. Good job, you guys. Go ahead.

969
01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:11,000
Okay? Yeah.

970
01:09:13,720 --> 01:09:15,000
Hey, good run.

971
01:09:24,810 --> 01:09:27,569
That ain't three inches. Well, I don't
know what to tell you. That's not three

972
01:09:27,569 --> 01:09:30,950
inches. You may have noticed on the
front of some of the race cars, there

973
01:09:30,950 --> 01:09:35,189
extenders. There is a set amount of
distance that a front end can be.

974
01:09:35,510 --> 01:09:40,069
And these drivers try to get to that max
distance any way they can. Because the

975
01:09:40,069 --> 01:09:43,890
longer the front end of the car, the
sooner you trip that beam at the finish

976
01:09:43,890 --> 01:09:48,010
line. And there is also another rule
with these extenders that say they have

977
01:09:48,010 --> 01:09:52,939
be a certain distance above the surface
of the racetrack. It sounds like one of

978
01:09:52,939 --> 01:09:56,820
Robin's crew members is accusing Nate of
having an extender that is too low to

979
01:09:56,820 --> 01:09:57,820
the ground.

980
01:09:58,000 --> 01:09:59,340
What are you looking at me like that
for?

981
01:10:01,500 --> 01:10:04,000
Come here, Robin. Come look at this.
Maybe you don't know what three inches

982
01:10:04,060 --> 01:10:05,080
Come here. Come look at this.

983
01:10:08,080 --> 01:10:10,900
Look at this. This flops around like
crazy.

984
01:10:11,820 --> 01:10:13,560
There's not much I can do about it.

985
01:10:18,160 --> 01:10:21,820
They measured it when they came and
checked the car. Nobody measured that,

986
01:10:22,120 --> 01:10:25,240
That's why we put the other thing on the
bottom of it when they measured it.

987
01:10:25,560 --> 01:10:27,800
Because it was five inches. Cheat.

988
01:10:28,340 --> 01:10:30,240
Are you kidding me?

989
01:10:30,880 --> 01:10:34,720
This has been on the car since I started
all this.

990
01:10:35,120 --> 01:10:36,980
Playwright. We raced Robin Roberts.

991
01:10:37,220 --> 01:10:38,440
I drag his ass.

992
01:10:38,780 --> 01:10:42,120
Then we get to the end of the track and
everybody, oh, you're cheating, you're

993
01:10:42,120 --> 01:10:44,980
cheating. So they said the car extender
on my car is too low.

994
01:10:45,540 --> 01:10:47,060
And I said, then pay your thousand
dollars.

995
01:10:47,420 --> 01:10:48,620
You know, check it out. Measure it.

996
01:10:49,020 --> 01:10:50,020
It's not even two.

997
01:10:52,920 --> 01:10:54,480
Like I said, it's one thing to be close.

998
01:10:55,440 --> 01:10:56,500
Let's pull his car up.

999
01:10:57,840 --> 01:10:58,840
Get your thousand.

1000
01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:02,940
I will. You got your grand on you? I
said I was good for it. Then you're good

1001
01:11:02,940 --> 01:11:04,100
for it. I'm good for it. It's good.
Let's go.

1002
01:11:04,820 --> 01:11:05,820
I'm just pissed.

1003
01:11:05,840 --> 01:11:10,520
If they would have not been an ass about
it and just said, hey, guys, yours

1004
01:11:10,520 --> 01:11:11,520
isn't three inches.

1005
01:11:11,840 --> 01:11:14,800
They immediately started, I'm checking
it. You're cheating.

1006
01:11:15,340 --> 01:11:16,340
Blah, blah, blah.

1007
01:11:29,160 --> 01:11:32,900
So with two cars having the same
infraction, the winner will stand.

1008
01:11:33,580 --> 01:11:34,580
Penalty's offset.

1009
01:11:34,600 --> 01:11:36,100
Flags are picked up on the plate.

1010
01:11:36,980 --> 01:11:40,060
It's no wonder every time he goes up
there, everybody boos.

1011
01:11:40,900 --> 01:11:44,080
Give me a ball.

1012
01:11:45,420 --> 01:11:46,420
Hit it.

1013
01:11:46,680 --> 01:11:47,680
Right here in the trailer.

1014
01:11:50,040 --> 01:11:51,220
I can chip it in there.

1015
01:11:52,460 --> 01:11:56,900
All right.

1016
01:11:57,340 --> 01:11:58,340
I can do that.

1017
01:12:02,410 --> 01:12:03,670
I hit the damn thing.

1018
01:12:06,250 --> 01:12:08,030
That's the same place I hit it from.

1019
01:12:08,250 --> 01:12:09,630
Stand it up, we'll chip it in there.

1020
01:12:11,590 --> 01:12:12,590
You ready?

1021
01:12:12,870 --> 01:12:13,870
Yeah, boy.

1022
01:12:15,330 --> 01:12:17,490
I bet you I can throw it in there.

1023
01:12:17,910 --> 01:12:19,490
I bet you the back tire can't.

1024
01:12:23,090 --> 01:12:26,850
You got to get the back tire from the
garage. Hell no. What the hell's the

1025
01:12:27,370 --> 01:12:28,370
Ain't happening.

1026
01:12:33,870 --> 01:12:37,710
ahead and start our semifinals drivers
meeting for the Invitational class.

1027
01:12:37,970 --> 01:12:39,890
We're down to four drivers.

1028
01:12:40,110 --> 01:12:43,850
Let's go ahead and draw chips and see
who is racing who here.

1029
01:12:45,510 --> 01:12:46,950
There is one left.

1030
01:12:48,810 --> 01:12:52,830
All right. Where are my number ones?

1031
01:12:53,610 --> 01:13:00,370
Nate Sayre versus Damon Merchant, which
means our best friend. These

1032
01:13:00,370 --> 01:13:02,090
guys are best friends. Larry.

1033
01:13:02,350 --> 01:13:06,850
Larson versus Jeff Lutz. I'll make sure
this is free. That better be.

1034
01:13:07,070 --> 01:13:08,790
All right, guys. You know who you're
racing.

1035
01:13:09,150 --> 01:13:12,650
Go back in the pit. Get your cars up
here in the staging lanes. Hey, I got

1036
01:13:12,650 --> 01:13:16,190
for you. One of y 'all is going to win
$40 ,000 tonight. Just letting you know.

1037
01:13:16,450 --> 01:13:17,570
All right? Let's do it.

1038
01:13:20,570 --> 01:13:25,510
All right. First pair here in the
semifinals for the invitational class.

1039
01:13:25,510 --> 01:13:29,350
Nate Saylor going up against Damon
Merchant.

1040
01:13:30,450 --> 01:13:31,770
Maybe third time's a charm.

1041
01:13:32,250 --> 01:13:33,590
Hey, third time's a charm.

1042
01:13:34,410 --> 01:13:36,050
We've been in the finals twice already.

1043
01:13:36,670 --> 01:13:42,130
Going into this deal, game plan, don't
draw each other. What do we do? We draw

1044
01:13:42,130 --> 01:13:48,330
each other. So, not a good situation for
us. I mean, at least we do know that

1045
01:13:48,330 --> 01:13:51,510
one member of the team is going into the
finals.

1046
01:13:53,530 --> 01:13:57,690
Team mate or not, it is what it is, but
I'm here to win that $40 ,000.

1047
01:14:02,130 --> 01:14:05,450
This is a bad deal for our team. We
wanted to stay away from each other and

1048
01:14:05,450 --> 01:14:07,310
each other in the finals to get those
extra points.

1049
01:14:07,770 --> 01:14:11,890
Unfortunately, Damon keeps drawing me. I
drew my chip. He keeps drawing my chip.

1050
01:14:12,050 --> 01:14:15,570
But no matter what, one of us is going
on to the finals, so I've got to look at

1051
01:14:15,570 --> 01:14:16,349
it that way, too.

1052
01:14:16,350 --> 01:14:19,390
And if it's him, kudos to him. We're
going to give him everything he can

1053
01:14:45,350 --> 01:14:46,350
Nice run, brother.

1054
01:14:46,790 --> 01:14:48,870
It felt like I was a drag race.

1055
01:14:49,670 --> 01:14:50,670
It was.

1056
01:14:50,850 --> 01:14:56,510
All right, folks. Larry Larson going up
against Jeff Lutz. Two more.

1057
01:14:57,910 --> 01:14:59,030
Come on, baby.

1058
01:14:59,790 --> 01:15:00,790
Two more.

1059
01:15:01,670 --> 01:15:02,850
Semifinals drivers meeting.

1060
01:15:03,150 --> 01:15:05,310
I drew none other than Larry Larson.

1061
01:15:05,690 --> 01:15:09,990
He owes me a few because I've whooped
his ass damn near every time we've

1062
01:15:10,030 --> 01:15:12,190
But you know what? I've seen his program
lately.

1063
01:15:12,470 --> 01:15:13,610
His cars come around.

1064
01:15:14,160 --> 01:15:17,520
He's fast, so we're just going to treat
him like everybody else.

1065
01:15:17,840 --> 01:15:19,720
Get that thing off us, double check.

1066
01:15:20,180 --> 01:15:24,420
He's not my best buddy, I'll put it that
way. I just don't like the man, and

1067
01:15:24,420 --> 01:15:28,160
that's putting it nicely, and I'll leave
it at that. But there's just things

1068
01:15:28,160 --> 01:15:30,300
that I've seen him do over the years
that I don't care for.

1069
01:15:30,580 --> 01:15:31,860
I just don't like the guy.

1070
01:15:41,320 --> 01:15:44,620
Backing up that pro -charge Cadillac in
the left lane. That is Larry Larson.

1071
01:15:45,320 --> 01:15:48,280
Going up against his best friend over in
the right lane.

1072
01:15:48,880 --> 01:15:52,580
Driving the twin -turbo GTO. That is
Jeff Lutz.

1073
01:15:55,920 --> 01:16:00,580
We haven't been this far yet this year.
We struggled a little bit. We came out

1074
01:16:00,580 --> 01:16:02,000
swinging and then we fell behind.

1075
01:16:02,460 --> 01:16:04,220
So, to win this...

1076
01:16:04,540 --> 01:16:09,800
To get into the finals for the team, for
Murder Nova team, and for my team, this

1077
01:16:09,800 --> 01:16:10,800
is huge.

1078
01:16:10,840 --> 01:16:15,840
You know, we usually win one or two of
these a year. And you know what? I hope

1079
01:16:15,840 --> 01:16:16,840
we win tonight.

1080
01:16:39,500 --> 01:16:40,540
Lutz has issues.

1081
01:16:41,000 --> 01:16:42,620
Has to shut it down.

1082
01:16:42,880 --> 01:16:43,880
It shut off.

1083
01:16:44,360 --> 01:16:48,760
It looked like it shook and shut off. It
has to shut it down.

1084
01:16:49,020 --> 01:16:51,300
Hey, he's up too, man.

1085
01:16:52,560 --> 01:16:53,560
Wow.

1086
01:16:55,840 --> 01:16:56,840
Hell yeah.

1087
01:16:59,080 --> 01:17:02,100
I'm kind of struggling tonight. Been
shaking a little bit out there.

1088
01:17:02,640 --> 01:17:04,260
Changed a few things on that run.

1089
01:17:05,320 --> 01:17:09,140
Quivered just a little bit and went on
down. I don't know what happened to him.

1090
01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:11,940
We won. That's all that matters. We're
going to the final.

1091
01:17:12,500 --> 01:17:14,680
So right now I get to hang on to this
one for a while.

1092
01:17:16,620 --> 01:17:20,000
Oh, my God.

1093
01:17:21,420 --> 01:17:22,720
All right, folks.

1094
01:17:23,060 --> 01:17:27,280
Larry Larson, he is going up against
Damon Merchant.

1095
01:17:27,940 --> 01:17:31,540
We got a runner in the final. A what? A
Team Dean car in the final?

1096
01:17:41,390 --> 01:17:44,870
I gave you a lesson one time, and then
you come back and took care of it.

1097
01:17:45,890 --> 01:17:47,070
I've won a couple of these.

1098
01:17:47,450 --> 01:17:51,530
I've been in four or six finals. I don't
remember over the years. We've been

1099
01:17:51,530 --> 01:17:55,710
here before. It's just been a long time.
So just going to the final, you know,

1100
01:17:55,730 --> 01:18:00,630
it's an awesome deal. I mean, you work
and work and work, and this schedule

1101
01:18:00,630 --> 01:18:04,250
beats you down and beats you down. And
to get to the final is awesome, and to

1102
01:18:04,250 --> 01:18:05,750
run Damon, that's even better.

1103
01:18:07,590 --> 01:18:08,590
Ready?

1104
01:18:09,190 --> 01:18:10,190
Let's roll.

1105
01:18:13,040 --> 01:18:16,100
Here we go into the finals right now
with Larry Larson.

1106
01:18:16,480 --> 01:18:19,320
I know he started getting a pretty good
handle on that blower combination that

1107
01:18:19,320 --> 01:18:20,179
he went to.

1108
01:18:20,180 --> 01:18:22,500
He knows what he's doing with the race
car. He's been doing this forever.

1109
01:18:23,280 --> 01:18:25,040
I'm going to try to kill his ass on the
tree.

1110
01:18:25,740 --> 01:18:28,480
And he's going to have to run me down
and catch me.

1111
01:18:28,760 --> 01:18:29,760
Here we go.

1112
01:18:29,940 --> 01:18:33,480
Invitational finals. $40 ,000 on the
line. Bodie interested in this outcome.

1113
01:18:33,920 --> 01:18:35,900
We need this big, man. We got to catch
up.

1114
01:18:36,780 --> 01:18:39,880
You were kind of falling from grace a
little bit, man. You were falling out of

1115
01:18:39,880 --> 01:18:41,140
it. What does this do for the points?

1116
01:18:41,760 --> 01:18:43,720
His foot doesn't tie for third place.

1117
01:19:14,120 --> 01:19:20,860
Here we go, Las Vegas. This is the final
race of the night. $40 ,000

1118
01:19:20,860 --> 01:19:23,340
on one race.

1119
01:19:56,620 --> 01:19:58,660
to him and his team.

1120
01:20:00,920 --> 01:20:07,220
I feel like my thing was just like
always, cut his head off on the light. I

1121
01:20:07,220 --> 01:20:08,220
like I cut a good light.

1122
01:20:09,200 --> 01:20:14,960
Of course, he put it well. I've briefly
seen him pulled away from him and never

1123
01:20:14,960 --> 01:20:15,960
seen him again.

1124
01:20:16,000 --> 01:20:18,300
What? Are you kidding me right now?

1125
01:20:19,960 --> 01:20:21,440
Crossing that stripe is...

1126
01:20:23,040 --> 01:20:27,020
rushed with emotion and you let it out
and how you i mean they're screaming

1127
01:20:27,020 --> 01:20:30,280
an idiot and seeing stars so you know
probably not the smartest thing but you

1128
01:20:30,280 --> 01:20:35,820
cannot control that it's just it's raw
emotion coming out so it's a feeling

1129
01:20:35,820 --> 01:20:40,240
no other getting in putting ourselves
into the position and getting it done

1130
01:20:40,240 --> 01:20:45,980
uh something i'd love to get used to
finally got to figure out how fast that

1131
01:20:45,980 --> 01:20:50,660
thing is yeah good job man
congratulations

1132
01:20:51,430 --> 01:20:54,790
You know, the car's fast. It's a
different combination than anybody else

1133
01:20:54,790 --> 01:20:57,930
has got, and he's doing well with it,
and he's been in three finals. It's the

1134
01:20:57,930 --> 01:21:01,950
first one he's won, so he's working for
it, and he earned it tonight, and good

1135
01:21:01,950 --> 01:21:05,430
for him. I haven't run him all year.
I've been curious to know how fast he

1136
01:21:05,430 --> 01:21:07,790
really is, and I got a good
understanding now.

1137
01:21:37,100 --> 01:21:37,818
You're crying.

1138
01:21:37,820 --> 01:21:44,000
Hey, Damon Merchant, I'm going to say it
right now. Third time is a charm. What

1139
01:21:44,000 --> 01:21:45,000
do you think about that?

1140
01:21:45,200 --> 01:21:49,000
Absolutely. To come out here is a
struggle for us the last couple of

1141
01:21:49,180 --> 01:21:50,360
Third time was a charm, baby.

1142
01:21:50,880 --> 01:21:53,280
That's right, man. Hey, look, you earned
this.

1143
01:21:53,860 --> 01:21:58,860
You are at the top of the No Prep King
series, man, with this win. The first

1144
01:21:58,860 --> 01:22:02,080
ever event in Las Vegas. There's not a
soul on this planet.

1145
01:22:02,590 --> 01:22:06,330
that has a trophy that says it's on it.
Here you go, Damon Merchant, your champ.

1146
01:22:09,030 --> 01:22:14,090
Look, Damon Merchant is a newcomer, a
rookie this season in No Prep Kings, and

1147
01:22:14,090 --> 01:22:15,670
he is making waves.

1148
01:22:16,530 --> 01:22:20,770
However, with Damon's win, Kai Kelly was
still able to keep his team in the

1149
01:22:20,770 --> 01:22:25,190
number one spot with Team Daddy Dave
behind him in second. Team Ryan Martin

1150
01:22:25,190 --> 01:22:28,510
Team Bodie are tied for third place with
690 points.

1151
01:22:29,340 --> 01:22:33,380
We are moving into the home stretch of
this season. And look, we still have

1152
01:22:33,380 --> 01:22:35,500
points and a half and double points
ahead of us.

1153
01:22:35,720 --> 01:22:37,640
This is far from over.

1154
01:22:38,020 --> 01:22:39,160
Ohio, how you doing?

1155
01:22:39,520 --> 01:22:40,520
Next week.

1156
01:22:41,680 --> 01:22:43,500
One of us has got to go on and win this
thing.

1157
01:22:43,740 --> 01:22:45,520
All we can do is go up there and give it
our best.

1158
01:22:45,740 --> 01:22:51,200
With Team Kai and Team Dave leading the
pack, the rest of the teams are trying

1159
01:22:51,200 --> 01:22:52,240
to catch up in points.

1160
01:22:54,660 --> 01:22:58,480
So they still have a shot at that $200
,000 championship prize.

1161
01:22:58,720 --> 01:23:01,220
You know, he's out there to kick my ass,
so that's what I got to do to him.

1162
01:23:05,600 --> 01:23:08,280
I'm not going to sleep until I get an
invite win.

1163
01:23:08,620 --> 01:23:12,340
You know, I need to go five rounds. I
need to win this. Keep on sitting, Nate.

1164
01:23:12,460 --> 01:23:13,460
Let's go, baby.

1165
01:23:14,480 --> 01:23:17,360
We need to go around to collect points,
or we're going to start falling down

1166
01:23:17,360 --> 01:23:18,360
that ladder.

1167
01:23:18,520 --> 01:23:20,100
Sometimes you're the windshield,
sometimes you're the bug.

1168
01:23:20,680 --> 01:23:21,840
We've been the bug all season.

1169
01:23:22,460 --> 01:23:23,460
I know the feeling.
