Last week on No Prep Teens.

I don't have to talk to her. You can talk to her. I basically haven't talked

him. Things started off a little hectic as exes Kai and Lizzie decided maybe

they should do a trade.

I didn't plan on trading her at all. Okay.

You know, because I wasn't going to let ego affect me from winning the

championship. Yeah.

Dave considered swapping Axeman for Lizzie. That is 100 % on the table.

And we saw the most trading that we've seen all season.

These list picks are Jimmy Taylor.

All right. Take Chandler for Tim Brown.

Doc, come over to Team Murder Nova.

But in the end, Dave decided to not make the trade, and Lizzie stayed on Kai's

team. Lizzie's your problem.

Damn.

In fact, Lizzie went on to win the entire event as she beat Axeman in the

semifinals and Robin Roberts in the finals.

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

roller coaster of a season for me.

Being diagnosed with breast cancer, stage four, all those days where I get

treatment and stuff like that and, you know, go through those struggles and I'm

out here and doing what I'm doing and being able to kick ass.

I don't even know what to say.

Emotional. Got it done.

What a big statement for Lizzie Musi.

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

team rankings.

How y 'all doing today?

All right.

Well, we're back again today.

Got a lot of racing ahead of us.

32 drivers, 40 ,000 to win.

Got a little bit of cloud cover also.

That's awesome right now, yeah.

Hopefully it sticks around until the sun goes down.

Who was here last night?

Yeah. Yay, Street Outlaws.

It's neat because we get to meet all of our favorite drivers.

Awesome. Thank you so much.

Hope you have a good day.

I'd like to see Lizzie win.

Kai Kelly and Ryan Martin.

We're here at Firebird Raceway in Idaho for our sixth points race of the season.

Last week in Tulsa, the temperatures were extremely hot, over 100 degrees.

Look, it's a little cooler here, but not by much.

When it's this hot out, that means the track surface is extremely gooey.

And that usually means that racers can't put as much power down because they are

going down a surface that is like slimy rubber.

That was a big hat, man.

Why do you look like the Mario brother?

Just badass.

It's like a shade tree.

Last week, we had a bunch of trades happening amongst the team.

Now we're going to get all our captains together and see if they're going to

make any changes this week. Dean. Yeah. Are you making any moves? I've got a

complete team. I'm happy right now. Love it.

Murillo, do you have a complete team here?

No, I do not. We picked up Dominator, but now he's not here.

So you got four out of five. We're needing one. Okay, cool. We've got Jerry

Jansen. Oh.

Where are you driving, Jerry?

S10 Chevy pickup. S10.

Murillo, are you picking him up?

Yeah. All right, Jerry, go sit next to your team captain. Come on over, buddy.

Yeah, Jerry. Hell yeah. Yeah, congratulations.

Sean, got a complete team? No. Oh, who's not here? B -Rad is not here. Oh. He

didn't make it. I would like to swap Doc for B -Rad. Whoa. Whoa.

So now Doc is already in the main event now because B -Rad doesn't have to race

his way in.

Intelligent move.

So you have four in.

Yeah. Yeah. All right, Swanstrom. I'm going to put Jim in for Chandler. Okay.

Put Chandler in the reserve.

Okay.

Jim is back this weekend, so, you know, I got to put him back on my team.

Listen, he's fast. We are getting down to crunch time in the season. We're

starting to fall a little bit behind in points because we have other teams

that's getting more drivers in than we are. So I already told the team this is

crunch time. Good job. Hey, congratulations on your pickup. Thanks,

Welcome to the show. Way to go.

Some of the more complicated movement was on Team Mike Murillo.

Before Race Your Way In, Murillo dropped Dominator and picked up Jerry Jansen,

who we've seen race in the past.

We're going to take this, right, just in case?

However, Mike did not make it through Race Your Way In, so he ended up

Jerry Jansen back down and taking his spot in the race.

So we're just going to check the idle and then that's it, right?

We now know who the 32 drivers are going into the first round. And, fun fact for

you, every single team has four drivers in the event. That should give them an

equal chance to go round and gain points towards that $200 ,000 grand prize.

There's been a lot of focus on Team Daddy Dave, as they've either been tied

in sole possession of first place for the past four weeks.

With that being said, it hasn't been a total runaway with it, as there's been a

lot of competition at the top.

Event 7, we're in Boise, Idaho.

Good. Paige.

Yeah.

Man, I got to say these words, and it hurts.

But right now, you're the weak link. What is going on?

This is my first, like, actual parts malfunction of the season, you know?

happens. It does happen.

I don't take losing lightly, so I'm ready to get back in it. And nobody

Is the schedule so brutal?

Like, everybody's going to break. Yeah. Yes.

Guaranteed. I broke yesterday.

Yeah. Today, I've only got four of my five in the Invitational.

We have what we want to call a weak link, and she didn't get in the

Invitational. It's going to break, so you've got to stay on top of it, and I

think we all have a pretty good team to do so.

X -Man went to the semifinals in the Grade 8 last night, so that car is

My car is going straight.

We just need to go around today, open the gap up on Bodie's team, and go on to

the next event.

With a real comfortable cushion.

We got to go rounds today. Yes. We do.

Right now, we're in a position to go take over first place.

We're only 10 points down. With the lack of me being in for so long, those 10

points mean a lot. We've been down 10 points. So with me just being in and

making it in, that's 10 points that we've been lacking.

This is your first time in. First time in. Hell yeah.

Team's actually doing really, really good.

We got four in now. I'm one of the four, which is really good.

Damon heard his car last night.

He worked all night to get it back going. We got it.

We're like half backwards here. We're going backwards a little bit.

Like, we have tore down a little bit, and we put it back together. Now we tore

down a lot, and now we're putting it back together.

I'm thinking my team is going to do well.

I'm predicting us taking over first place this weekend.

We're going to do good.

We're going to do good. Y 'all need some time. For sure, baby.

We're almost to the halfway point of the season, and cars are starting to break.

Team Daddy Dave and Team Bodie have been at the top of the rankings all season.

But racers on both teams have had some car issues lately.

This race series is grueling, race after race. Every weekend, it eventually

takes a toll on parts, and cars are going to suffer.

But with the team structure this year, if one person is struggling, the rest of

their teammates are there to keep gaining points.

If you guys need whatever, just holler at me.

And at this point in the season, it also seems like getting a brand new person

on board could be the spark that gives the team a little more upper momentum.

So, here in Idaho, obviously, I took the big L.

Jerry, you're in.

Jimmy, you're in. You're the new guy in town. People don't know who you are, but

they're about to find out. We got four out of five in. I'm the only loser on

team. Time for you guys to make some points for us. Hopefully, it's turning

around and going in the right direction.

Yeah. Welcome to the team.

Thanks, bro. Y 'all go out there and don't step.

We got it, guys.

We'll do our part today. All the cars are going to be slower.

Don't get scared.

Cut the good lights.

Best you can.

I got four people on my team going into the main event. It's something we

haven't had all year. But we got Clay Cole.

He's a good addition to our team.

Give a little help. Got a hot rod over there. I think we can take the lead this

weekend. Yeah. With at least four people. Yep.

We've been doing pretty good with three.

Team Ryan Martin has been hovering around the middle of the pack all

which is very surprising considering he won the last three championships. He has

struggled quite a bit this season, even wrecking his car last week in round two.

The issue this year is everybody's program.

Everybody's fast. Everybody's fast. Everybody's programs came in pretty good

ways. Yours looked good. You went, you run it up at the grade eight last night.

I saw you put it on Lizzie, which.

Whoever can do that has got a car that runs good.

We're really close to being able to catch that first place position, and

the time that we need to shine.

I'm in a totally different car this week, and it's stacked up against us,

feel like if any group can move forward, it's ours.

As you see back here in the background, I've got the fireball with me this time.

I crashed the car at the last race in Tulsa.

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

lower frame rail.

It broke the door almost in half.

It's being fixed. We got all hands on deck, but we couldn't quite get it done

for this race.

The combos are very similar.

We're running the gray car at 27 .25 with the smaller blower.

This car has to run at 28 .25 with the bigger blower.

It's a little bit heavy, but that's not always a bad thing.

Some of the racetracks, the cars will run better with more weight in it.

And that's what we're banking and hoping on for this track.

There's a lot of buzz around me bringing this car back. It is the OG car. It's

what I started Street Outlaws with. It has won me my first ever championship at

MBK season three. So there's a lot of wins under this thing's belt.

I have been fortunate enough to pull off the last two wins here at Boise, Idaho,

the last two seasons.

I don't know if we can pull off a third in this car.

But we're going to absolutely try our hardest to do that.

Yeah, we do.

As you

know,

the Invitational Class is a team championship. What that means is the

the most points at the end of the season is going to win $200 ,000.

All right.

So we're going to all draw out of the bucket now.

All right, let's go, guys.

The

matchups are

set for round one, and there could be some major moves here.

We have Ryan Martin going up against David Gates.

Ryan won the Invitational the past two years at this track, and he's in a

familiar car that has gotten him a lot of wins.

This could be Ryan's opportunity to turn around his losing streak this season.

Kayla from Team Daddy Dave, who's first in points, drew Damon from Team Bodie,

who's only 10 points behind them.

This race alone could determine if we have a new number one team at the end of

the night.

Lizzie Mucey drew her former NOLA pal, Bobby Ducote.

Lizzie's coming off a huge win in Tulsa, and if she can pull off another win

like that here, it could possibly bring Team Kai Kelly back up to the top.

With every team having four drivers in the first round, this could be a huge

opportunity to gain points if they can go around today.

All right, this first pair in the first round of the Invitational. We've got

Birdman going up against Kai Kelly.

Hey, Mr. Birdman.

Hey, buddy.

Birdman is a good draw because he's been struggling with his car.

He just recently went twin turbo, so he's definitely getting a handle on the

again. But Birdman is the king of guests. And what I mean by guests, the

could be up to 60 feet before the green light comes on. So I'm worried about

racing Birdman because as fast as he is, I'd have to run a 350 at 220 miles an

hour to catch him.

I drew Kai Kelly first round, and Kai is fast. He is the fastest car, most

consistent this year.

He is hauling ass.

But, man, I tell you what, we got a hot rod, so I'm ready to rock and roll.

Birdman drew Kai first round. That is a tough draw. I mean, nobody wants to race

Kai, obviously. But anything can happen. Birdman's finally turning his game

around, and we need to prove ourselves and let's just hope that Birdman can

off a...

All right, this first pair in the first round of the Invitational. We've got

Birdman going up against Kai Kelly.

Broadway takes the win.

Hi, Kelly. Moving on to the next round.

He was in my head. I really thought he was going to guess.

He ran a straight up race. I got the win.

Can't ask for no better than that.

He's going to guess. I didn't guess. He didn't guess.

They said, go up there and run your race.

I almost guessed. Did you really? I thought you was going to. Man, I had a

rod. I wasn't going to guess. I said, I'll have to run a 350 to catch him.

All right, folks. Next pair here in this first round of the Invitational Class,

you got Jimmy Taylor.

Going up against Brandon James.

So the main thing that's going to happen this round is that heat's really going

to come in. The track temperature right there is 127, 128.

And right now we're getting to the heat of the day. So by the time you guys get

up there, there ain't no shade. It's going to be 130 degrees.

So there's going to be a lot of people overpowering the first 100 feet real

Unless you got your trash control like dead on the drive shaft, you know what I

mean? I got faith in you, though.

I'll be up there.

Good luck, bud. Thanks, man.

You got it.

Jimmy Taylor.

I'm from Clinton, Tennessee.

I drive the 67 Camaro we call Devious One.

We've worked long and hard to get to this place, and I feel like we're ready

make a good hit. And hopefully we can be a good help for the team and, you know,

get some points for them. It's all about team effort.

A little bit nervous, I ain't going to lie.

BFJ drew Jimmy Taylor, which is a good draw.

But Brandon's running great, by the way. So, I mean, really, that's a good draw

for Brandon because they don't have to lean on their stuff as hard, I don't

think.

But this is racing. I mean, this has been on paper, obviously.

I was nervous at the burnout, got through the burnout, was calm.

And then after I seen the wind light come on, I got the jitters all over

just like I just started.

Next pair coming at you right here, that is going to be Kyle Canyon going up

against Rich Bruder.

We drew the Bruder brothers.

I've never ran them. I know the course passed, but we made some good passes

night, learned some things about this track, but it got hot today. It got real

hot, so I don't know what's fixing to happen, but that track could make a big

difference here.

First round is always the hardest round. The track, you know, we raced on it

last night, but not today.

So you're going up there blind.

But you just look at it, and, you know, it's really guessing. You take a guess

and take a gamble and let it go.

This week, we're at Firebird Raceway in Boise, Idaho.

Coming into this event, again, my team's business number one, Kyle Starr.

I watched it make passes last night. That thing is fast.

So hopefully he can get us some points.

All right, folks, this next one's going to be a good one.

That's going to be David Gates going up against Ryan Martin.

The only thing that really bothers me, everybody's talking about this guessing

stuff, and it's getting into everybody's freaking mind. So I don't think Ryan,

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

that I should guess against him, Drew Ryan Martin.

You know, I feel like we're the same caliber as Ryan.

You know, may the best man win. I feel like we can go out here today on this

hot, greasy track, and I feel like we're going to have the hot rod to beat

today. I feel like I can pride it ourselves on the tree, and I want to

that mug's green and get to the other end.

What benefits can you get by watching the competition like that?

Well, you know, especially in my position, which I'm fourth or fifth, and

fourth or fifth, I can watch and see how the other guys do to figure out if we

made the right tune -up decision or not.

If their cars look fast and they go right down, it allows you to maybe

think about making a different move or whatever. But after what I just saw

there, I think we're going to stay conservative and see how it goes.

All right, folks, this next one is going to be a good one. That's going to be

David Gates going up against Ryan Martin.

And David Gates takes a stab at the tree.

Got the advantage on the tree and never looked.

Back. So you guessed.

It looks like David Gates guessed the tree, which basically means he

when the green light would come on and let go of his translate button before he

actually saw the green light.

If you time it just right, you won't go red because it takes a moment for the

car to react and gives you a huge advantage.

It's technically legal, but many racers feel like it's not sportsmanlike.

Also, now that everyone has seen him get away with it, it'll probably get in the

rest of the racers' heads.

Because if you think your opponent might get it, you're more likely to try it

yourself.

Good job. Thank you. He was upset at the end of the track.

You know, I don't want to disrespect him. He's the champ. But I'm out here to

win money. I'm trying to win $40 ,000 today and get, you know, points for our

team.

Damn, man. What the?

You laughed about it.

Three cars earlier than me.

Hey, real racing, man.

Here you go.

You can have that the whole rest of the day.

Next pair coming up, Battle of the Pro Chargers here.

That's going to be Kayla Morton going up against Damon Murchison.

I'm fixing to put this back on, start bolting it down, and we'll be ready to

rock and roll here.

We didn't get... The greatest data yesterday, things running like a pig out

here. It ran really, really good at Tulsa, obviously, and we didn't really

change anything, but something just ain't happening.

And then come to find out, we over -spun the blower.

It ate a blower, basically. We're finding these little issues and trying

them as we go.

Hopefully something cures this damn thing. Perfect.

So we draw chips and we drew Kayla.

It's not a good pick for anybody first round. She always runs good. Is this

some sort of guess or what?

But, you know, at any time, anybody can slip up. So hopefully something we do

catches. We can go some rounds today.

Damon Merchant is brand new to no prep this year. He's definitely been making a

huge statement.

He's gained a ton of points for Team Bodie.

He's taken out heavy hitters left and right.

Damon's been having some issues with his car recently.

I kept spraying oil everywhere again.

Yeah, it's just as bad as it was the other night.

But it sounds like all those issues might be behind him.

We have some mean -ass draws.

I hear Damon.

Nobody seems to be able to take Damon out. So, you know, it's my turn to give

a shot, and I think I'm up for the challenge.

Get up there. Take your cars. Let go of the brake.

I don't see her. I don't hear her. Four to five hundred feet.

I hear her. Here she comes.

Clips me right at the end.

I mean, it couldn't have been more than a fender, but that Hemi came on strong

on the big end, and we just didn't have enough in it.

That was a fantastic win.

Much needed.

All right, next pair coming at you right here. We got Justin Swanstrom.

Going up against Murder Nova.

Armstrong's in the top all the time, and there's a reason for that. His program

is solid. His car's fast, and he goes round.

So at this point, the track's pretty tricky. The sun's beating down. It's

It's going to be greasy.

And instead of racing the person, I can't worry about having to race Justin

Swanstrom. I have to worry about racing the traffic.

Right down through there. Gets the win. Nice job.

Car went out there and shook.

I tried to pedal it a couple times, but it was just in a tire shake, so I had to

get out of it. It sucks going out first round. I feel like, you know, we're just

steadily falling farther and farther behind in points. We got to get our

out of our asses and figure out what we got going on. Good luck, man. Hey, never

thought I'd say this, man. I love you, dude. I appreciate it. Good job,

Good luck, man. Thank you.

All right, next pair. That is Doc Luck against Jeff Luck.

I'm going to ask you right now. You're not going to guess on me, right? No.

Okay.

So then I'll just do my normal deal. You're the only one I've ever worried

about. I just said that. I said, I mean, Dolph's kind of known for taking a stab

at it. Nine times out of ten, it pays off.

There was a bunch of teammates that drew each other. But Sean pulled us aside

and said, just let it ride. Let's not switch.

Because if we switch, we got a better chance of two of us going out than one

us moving on.

We said we're just going to let it ride, so Doc and I are going to go head -to

-head.

This is probably, I feel like this is my race. I think this is where it's

finally all starting to come together, maybe turn around for the good.

Gets the win. Wow.

All right. Next pair coming at you here.

That's John Odom. He is going up against Bodie.

Hey, do you know why they were all cheering for Bodie? What? Because you

actually made it to a first round. That's right.

Hey, and I'm going to make it to the second round when I beat your ass.

That's right.

Okay. Let's go, baby. I'm going to bust y 'all in old mass. He ain't never had a

feel of this. I'm going to knock his ass down in his hometown. Watch this. All

his fans are going to be screaming Bodie after this.

Man, looks like Bodie loses his door out there.

We're going to have to pick that up.

Not a great start for Team Bodie, who came into Idaho in second place.

Damon Merchant went out, and now Team Captain Bodie has also lost his race.

It'll be up to Nate and Bobby to rack up points and hold their position.

All right, next pair. That is Callie Mills going up against Robin Roberts.

into this first round with Cali. We have no data, no information.

We had zero test passes last night.

One of our vendors sent us the wrong part. We put it in, totally messed the

up. We could not make a pass.

We don't even know if the car's going to fly.

We'll see how it goes.

All right, next pair. That is Callie Mills going up.

Robin Roberts.

Robin

Roberts.

Able to get there first. Wow.

Robin Roberts takes the win.

All right, next pair, battle of the teammates right here. That is going to

Mike Murillo going up against Scott Scooter -Taylor.

So we're over two.

Somehow Brandon got beat.

Brandon got beat?

Who beat who?

That guy, Jimmy Taylor.

Really? We unfortunately drew Scott this first round, but it's not going to be

an easy race for him. Absolutely we're going to try to win.

I think we're going to go some rounds this weekend, today in particular.

Scott and I racing one another. At least one of us is going to the next round

for points.

All right, next pair, battle of the teammates right here. Over in that right

lane, that is going to be Mike Murillo.

Over in the left lane, that's going to be Scott Scooter -Taylor.

Well -charged barrel backing up after the burnout.

Got Taylor.

Take home the W there against Mike Murillo. He will go on the next round.

job.

Unfortunately, I was the only one that made it through round one on Team

Murillo. That's going to keep us in seventh, if not last place.

I don't know how Disco Dean's team did, but hopefully we accumulate more points

than they do because seventh is bad, and we really don't want to go to eighth.

Sorry, Dean, but we don't want to go to eighth.

Good job, man. Good job, man.

Hate it, bro.

Did we lose a tire in the middle?

No, early.

Oh, we lost them early? Yep.

Yep, this one almost lost it in about a second.

Yeah. I just had to drive through it.

Good luck, man. Kick some ass. Thank you, buddy.

All right, next pair. We got Clay Cole going up against Larry Larson.

Now, we need to have a talk.

Is this, what's that thing?

Intervention? Intervention? I'm going to point my finger at you. Okay. I'm going

to point your finger at you. All right, I'm ready.

Get your act together.

I'm trying, Dad.

I'm trying, Dad.

We drew Clay Cole.

Don't know anything about him other than, you know, he's here and what his

combination is. So he should be fast.

Is he? I don't know.

Teammate.

We'll figure it out.

Oh, man, Gage, we're working on it, brother. We've been thrashing on it.

Yeah, we've narrowed it down to a bad ground, man. Clay Cole.

I'm from Joplin, Missouri, and I drive a 69 Chevy Camaro named Overdose.

It's a pro -charge car, pro -line Hemi in it, Mickey three -speed, 400 turbo.

It's an Overdose of power, chassis, everything.

It'll compete with anybody here at the track.

We got to go some rounds today.

Yeah, that's why I told Kyle I'm glad you're on the team because I know y 'all

working hard and you can get a badass car.

Thanks, bro. Thanks.

If you need anything, man, let us know. See you here in a little bit. Appreciate

it, brother. Yes, sir.

I just want to go rounds for my team, and it's a personal goal of mine to go

rounds at an MPK Invitational event.

All right, next pair, we got Clay Cole in the right lane, going up against

Larson in the left.

As a team, we're only 30 points away from the lead, and we've only had three

people in the Invitational all year, so we were glad to pick Clay Cole.

He's a really fast guy. Not only has he got a fast car, but he can drive. So I

think he's going to fit in real good over here at Kyle Kelly Racing.

Yeah, baby.

Yeah.

Woo.

Oh, man, I'm cloud nine, bro. I just outran Larry Larson. First time ever

up against him.

And I don't know how much we beat him by, but to me it felt like a lot. So I'm

super excited. That was awesome.

All right.

Next pair. That's going to be Giuseppe going up against Daddy Dave Comstock.

one, Invitational, I draw Josephi.

He's not one to take lightly, and probably not one I wanted to draw first

We've been having some issues with the car. We changed a lot this morning after

last night.

We went straight last night, and we come in this morning, and we changed some

things. So, we're going to hope this thing just goes straight.

Next pair, that's going to be Giuseppe. Going up against Daddy Dave Comstock.

And Daddy Dave's going to get the win. Takes a shot on the tree. Go.

It kind of scared me. I let off everything while the car takes off.

I look over, and it's not red, so I go down through there, and about 450 foot,

the car shuts off.

Go down to the big end.

Training's smoldering hot. The lines are smoking on it. I was on the training

break way too long.

It's just what you got to do, and sometimes it's just time to go, and you

of the button, and you go down through there.

All right, next pair coming at you. We got Jim Howell going up against Nate

Baylor.

So here we are, Eagle, Idaho, one of my favorite racetracks in the country.

You know, we brought the new car out. I tested it. The car tested great, and I

feel like we've got a car that can run up front, and I think we can make a

comeback like we did last year now.

We're just going to put a tune -up in the car that we know will go for these

conditions. I'm not going to get crazy. I'm not trying to set the world on fire.

We're just going to make sure we leave first and make sure that we put a path

down that will hopefully be in front of them.

All right, folks, next pair. We've got Bobby, Dakota going up against Lizzie

Musi. I texted last night to check on you because I seen you were, like, in

I was like, I wonder if she's okay. Yeah, I was so done. This last

like, has got me down so much. You just have to make sure you rest.

Everything else is going good, though, right? Yeah, everything's good. Perfect.

Your car's running good.

For a new car, I'm, like, very happy with it. Yeah, well, a Polter you want.

Okay. So we're going out for the first round of tip draw and end up getting

Bobby. Bobby's been running good. Can't take him lightly either. I raced him

this year in New Hampshire.

He kicked my ass. Car wasn't doing the greatest, so we were struggling a little

bit at that point.

But our car has been all an ass. I feel confident in it. So I was ready for

anyone in that circle to draw. Like, I was ready.

Good luck. Be safe.

I beat her in New Hampshire. The week after New Hampshire, in between here,

won. Won the first round of Lizzie Music. See how that works out for me.

We can plan on whooping that ass.

We gambled.

Loser buys dinner if each other's true.

Like I told everybody in the beginning, I didn't hate Lizzie. Me and her, I was

toxic. We just couldn't get along.

So I think me and Lizzie, not together, we can actually be friends.

We actually talked today. Everything was good. Looks like she's happy with

Jeffrey Earnhardt. And I'm doing my thing. So that's what teammates need to

though. We don't need to be fighting and arguing over personal stuff and not

talking to each other as a team trying to win this $200 ,000.

Lizzie Mucin, nice pass right down through there.

Straight as an arrow.

Bobby shakes the tire over in the right lane. Have to get out of it.

Hey, you owe me a dinner now.

Yep.

Like a steak or something.

Hey, you got a big crew. That's going to be expensive.

I know.

All right, folks. Next pair coming at you right now. We got Jerry Bird versus

Chuck 55 coming at you right here.

With you, Chuck 55, he is tough.

Got a lot of riding on this fast, man, because I got to win. I got to go

If I don't go around, I got to race my way in next race. And that sucks, man.

That's a lot of pressure on you just to try to get in that race. And if you

don't get in it, it deflates you, man. I told him, I said, man, look, let's not

be stupid or what.

Let's just try to go A to B.

I feel like I'm faster than him, but I got to go down. If I don't go down, I

don't have a chance.

Nice job, boys. Nice job, guys.

All right, next pair coming up. We got Greg Chandler going up against Axeman.

How long have you been racing?

25 years. I bet you've been 25 years.

Man, it just seems like kids.

That's all we really are. Our toys cost more.

I've raced basically my whole racing career with Greg at our local tracks.

It's going to be a pretty cool race.

Be on the other side of the country and race.

He's on a brand new car.

He said he doesn't have many test hits. That sounds like I stand a good chance

of winning. But it also makes me think he may take a shot at that tree.

Another guess on the light.

I had a feeling we were going to see more of it as the rounds went on. And

round one complete, our number one team, led by Daddy Dave, has four racers

moving into round two. But they're not alone.

And Team Kai Kelly also has four racers left in, and they're looking to earn

points and move up. Also, we've got two brand -new racers, Clay Cole and Jimmy

Taylor, both moving on to the second round. Not many people knew them at the

beginning of today, but they're trying to make the names for themselves.

It's going to be a brief pause here while our drivers draw chips.

Where are my number ones? Oh, Murder Nova.

Murder Nova against Scott Taylor.

Oh, man.

All right, number two.

David Gates versus Robin Roberts.

Oh, boy.

Robin Roberts has your chance to avenge the defeat of Ryan Martin, right? Ryan

Martin lost to David Gates in the first round. Now is your chance for some

payback. Number three.

Daddy Dave versus John Odom.

Number fours. Number fours. Oh, boy.

This is going to be Axeman versus Lizzie Houston.

Oh, man.

All right. Number five.

Number five.

Nate Saylor versus Kai Kelly.

Wow. I'm tired of that.

Number six.

We didn't know what Lizzie had because she don't stand over here.

Number seven.

Kyle Canyon and Caleb Morton, teammates, drew each other there.

Which means my eighth and final pair, and I can't get this wrong, Clay Cole

versus Jimmy Taylor.

Yeah.

All right, drivers, look. You know who you're racing. Go back to your pits, get

your car turned around, put them in the staging lane.

Let's get some racing done, all right? Let's go.

This first pair here is going to be a good one. Scott Scooter -Taylor going up

against Murder Nova.

They went right around me. Y 'all see this?

They went right around me.

You see Heather's shirt?

We know where she's at. I still love her, though.

Second round drew Murder Nova.

Me and him went back and forth, but after the Australia trip, man, he's been

great. He's been great to race with and work with.

Right here, I'm going to do everything I can do to outrun him, and he's going to

do that absolute same thing.

Round two, we go up. We drop Scott Taylor.

Scott Taylor's a tough draw. He's always a tough draw, just like Swanstrom. He

goes rounds.

He's usually in the grade eight.

He's a front runner out here at this deal, and he's nobody to play with. I

think I've ever outrun him on a track.

We're going to have to put a tune -up in the car that we think this track will

hold, and you can't look back after that. If you get outran by somebody who

faster than you and everything goes to plan, you can't be upset about that.

Going up against Robin Roberts.

Good? Yeah, sir.

We drew Robin second round.

He's beat me in Idaho here last year, first round.

He beat me two weekends ago in Tulsa. He's got a hot rod.

I know that he's got a good program. They work hard on it. He's fast. We're

going to try to speed up our run that we went earlier. It was a decent run.

We're going to try to go out there and, you know, take it down the track and try

to get the win.

This is the kind of win you want to win. When he does shenanigans against your

captain, you want to make him pay.

We're on, Rob. Good job.

All right, next pair here. Got John Odom going up against Daddy Dave.

That's right, baby.

Four for four.

All four.

Four for four.

Who's Daddy going to race?

I don't know.

Dave? Daddy Dave?

What do you think about this race?

Huh? Daddy's not going to win.

Daddy's going to win?

No. What?

You're a traitor.

So I drew Daddy Dave, second round, here at my hometown.

I haven't really paid attention, you know, how good Daddy Dave's been

but we feel like our car is on point.

It's so hot outside right now, we're kind of racing the track, not your

opponent, so...

We kind of know what it did on that super hot track on the last pass. We

adjusted a little bit for what we think to keep this going down the track and

win the race.

Last time I raced Jim, I think he beat me.

I think he beat me the last two times. So to get a little redemption would be

nice.

That's what you get when you jump the... Dave went red, yeah.

That's what happens when you get... I know everybody says, you

get the light. I don't. Like, it's just time to go.

So I let go of the button. Sure enough, we went red.

Give him the win.

It's always an honor to race you, Dave. Thanks. Thanks.

It's always an honor to race you, brother. Good job. Thank you.

All right, folks, next pair here, and that's going to be Axeman going up

Lizzie Mucey.

for this round, but it's still hot. We gotta race the racetrack, it's the

biggest thing, but the car made a really good run last pass, so we got the right

lane this time. I think both lanes are pretty much the same, but Axeman's fast,

so we can't take him lightly, so we just gotta get to the finish line first,

right? That's the goal.

In the grade 8, Axman beat Damon, so I was like, hey, that's a big deal.

I know, he must be running real fast.

Damon's been freaking killing it here lately, so he has his act together.

Great pass from her there in that right lane.

Able to beat Ashley. Nice job.

I almost didn't know who won, but it was a really badass race.

I love having races like that all day long. I'll take that any time of day.

Compared to someone like Shaken next to you, I'd rather have a badass, close

race like that.

Next pair, that is going to be Nate Saylor against Kai Kelly.

I need you to do me a favor.

I need you to kick Kai's ass, man. Get him out of there.

Because trust me when I tell you, I'm tired of getting beat by him. I called

tuner and I said, I don't give a flying rat if we blow the tires off of it.

Because I'm telling you, we're swinging for it.

We're second round. We matched up with Ty Kelly, my arch nemesis. This guy's

been dragging my ass twice now. I've turned this car up. I just got home with

tuner. I'm either going to blow the tires off of it or I'm going to beat

period. I'm tired of him dragging my ass. So we're going to fix this right

One good thing about Nate is I know he's a straight -up racer. I don't have to

worry about the guessing and all that, but at the end of the day, he's got a

really fast hot rod.

Now, I've got to depend on my guys to make my car better.

This next race could be huge.

If Kai Kelly can take out Nate Singer from Bodie's team, it could give Kai the

points his team needs.

to get ahead of Bodie King in the ring.

Kai Kelly continues rolling on there with that win.

That's a good run.

Damn good run. Kai's just fast, man. There ain't nothing you can do about

Can't be mad.

Damn good drag race.

I'm tired of losing to you. Yeah, man, that was a way better one, though. I

turned the bitch up like a... Nate's getting pretty discouraged on the big

you know? He still supports me, shakes your hand, tells you good job, but you

can tell it's wearing on him. But I know, I took beatings from Ryan Martin

year. I think he beat me 19 times in a row one time, so I know that feeling.

I know that it's going to come back around one day if Nate keeps putting his

in the beans beside me. He'll beat me. So today I won, going on to round three.

God, dude, I'm sick of it.

All right, next pair. We've got Chuck 55 going up against Jeff Lutz.

It's a shame that we had to draw our own teammates, though. Man, I know. That

sucks. It's better than one of us going on. Exactly.

Somebody's going to go on.

Whoever's on the game, whoever's got the tune figured out the best up here for

this altitude, we'll advance to the third round. I hope it's us.

But if it's not, good luck to Jeff.

We've been putting in the work.

Oh, yeah. It's not from a lack of work. Second round, I pulled my teammate,

Lutz. Lutz is a turbo car. This is kind of turbo weather right here.

He's fast.

Either one of us is going to go to the third round, which is good. Our team

needs the points.

All right, folks, next pair.

Coming at you here, you've got Kyle Canyon going up against Kayla Thornton.

Round two, we drew Kyle Canyon.

We are more than teammates. We are actual friends.

We hang out outside of racing.

We share the same tuner.

So it is a tough draw, and you just hate to do it, but once you race with these

same people over and over, it's just bound to happen.

Thank you.

Appreciate you guys.

The cars are very comparable.

They're very, very similar.

So it should be a good drag race.

All right, so Kyle, you're going to get the win there.

Oh, my God. I am so sorry, you guys.

Besides, it's just time to go.

Sometimes it's just time to go. Time to go.

All right. Looks like Kyle Canyon stopped down there on the left side of

track. I'm good.

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

Did it get fluid on the track or no?

Not that I've seen.

Ah, damn.

I went red.

Hard loss. I feel like I definitely let my team down. And I hate losing that way

because I really like to be perfect.

And I definitely was not that round.

Congratulations to Kyle. He's my teammate, so we'll be pulling for him

rest of the day.

If she's out and he can't get fixed, that's both my people out.

Last pair here in the second round of invitations is going to be Clay Cole

up against Jimmy Taylor, the two new guys.

Fuel, are we fueled up?

Still got a little heat in it.

Just enough to go. I drew Jimmy Taylor this round.

He's a friend of mine.

Jimmy's got a very similar car to ours. He's got a Pro Charge combination as

well. I believe it's a three -speed as well. So it's very comparable. So it's

going to literally come down to who's got the best tuner.

I can't tell you how good I feel right now.

Jimmy Taylor went red.

We made a good pad.

We got good data now for the left lane. So we're going to go into third round

super strong, ready to rock it.

Each round I win, I'm getting 10 more points for our team.

toward the big goal at the end of the year, plus a chance at that $40 ,000 at

the end of the night.

You're always cutting down that trail. It's like, I know I got to be fast on

this. I got to be fast.

I red -lighted that time. It felt like I was on two -step forever.

Oh, yeah.

I was like, come on, come on, come on, come on.

And it never would go. And I was like, OK, I'm letting go of the button.

That's what I did. Yeah.

Last time I done that, I stuck a tire because my converter pressure got so

So I let go of it.

Good job, brother. You too, man.

Second round definitely didn't go like I wanted it to go. I just felt like I was

on the two -step so long that I let go and turned to red.

I mean, to have an opportunity like I've had this weekend and blow it over

something that stupid, that just sucks.

Round two is in the books, and Team Kai Kelly is still standing strong as

they've got Kai, Lizzie, and Clay Cole still in the race.

Clay Cole was a last -minute pickup back in Tulsa, and look, it appears that

that is paying off.

Meanwhile, Team Daddy Dave, who started off the day in first, only has one

driver left, and that is Kyle Canyon.

It seems like Kai Kelly's team might be able to move back in to first.

Here we go. Let's go ahead and get started with our invitational round

drivers meeting.

We started with 32 drivers. We are now down to eight.

Going into round three, I still got three drivers in out of four.

Daddy Dave, he lost all but one driver.

Dave, you've got one left.

Okay.

The little team did good. We finally got a fourth person that's going down the

racetrack and got his car figured out.

Catching number one. I told everybody all we needed was a little help. Here it

is. And now it's our time to catch him and put some distance between him on

point stretch.

Well, let's draw chips, see who's racing who here in this third round.

All right.

My drivers have their chips. Where are my number ones?

Kai Kelly versus Murder Nova.

First pair in that third round. Wow.

All right. Number twos.

Number twos. It's going to be Clay Cole versus John Odom.

Number threes.

Robin Roberts versus Chuck 55.

I'm sitting there. I've seen the red and then I'm about 50 feet out and

transmission fluid everywhere. I was like, what a.

This went way bad. The second round, I had four cars left in it. I went from

four to one, and we're all on Kyle's back this round.

Didn't we talk about this? I can handle it.

It's your time to win one.

I hope it's tonight.

We were all on her back once.

Mine on Bowling Green.

So can we get this one fixed then? Yeah, there's plenty of people out of there.

I bet they're 20 minutes from having a transmission converter in it, maybe

I got plenty of guys underneath here putting a transmission in it. We'll put

converter in it, and we're going to do everything we can. We're going to make

back up here for next round and keep trying to carry the team and get some

points here.

The Invitational Round 3 starts right now.

That is going to be Murder Nova versus Kai Kelly.

You think it's showing like you do with Nate Saylor?

We're going to treat him like Nick Salem.

I mean, he's running good. I ain't going to lie. He beat Scott last round. Scott

was shaking and moving around.

Round three, I drew Murder Nova.

His car's been running fast, but, I mean, we got a hot rod this weekend.

Our car's fast, and we're very confident we can beat anybody out here.

Sean is doing amazing today.

What's that?

This is one of his favorite tracks?

Wow. Firebird Raceway, one of Murder Nova's favorite tracks.

That's why he's doing so well right there.

I mean, it kind of is, though, you know. I like it here.

I get the number one chip, second race in a row, and I draw Kai Kelly. And at

this point in time, it looks to me like he has the fastest car on the property.

He won the grade eight last night, and he's hard to beat. You know, Kai wins a

lot of rounds.

Sean's been running a lot better this year. He's come out with a new combo,

he's been struggling to make it to the third round. So this is the first time

he's ever been in the third round. I'm planning on making it not the first time

he's been to the 10 laps, but we're going to see what we can do.

All right, Kelly, we've got fuel coming out of one of the cylinders on the

driver's side of the car.

Ty Kelly got fuel coming out of one of the cylinders of the car beside the car.

It means I'll do a burnout, and right at the end of my burnout, the linkage

broke off the barrel valve, which means when I give it gas, it don't open the

barrel valve, so no fuel.

At the end of the day, about a $20 part cost us the race.

I hate to lose that way, but there's nothing we can do about a part breaking.

You know, we had a fast hot rod. We could have won this thing.

All right, folks, next pair coming at you here. We got Clay Cole going up

against John Odom.

So what do we think?

Oh, man.

I don't know. See, we got Odom.

We're going to put a good little tune -up in there. Brandon just sent it to

I'm getting it downloaded right now. As soon as I get it in here, we're going to

get it. We've got to push up.

They're already messaging us for the lane.

Give them hell. That's all we can do. That's all we can do, brother. Best man

wins. Yeah.

Who goes down? One comes back.

I got Odom for round three.

I feel good about it. The car is on a mission right now. It's running great.

Brandon's doing a great job on the keyboard, keeping this thing going down

track good and straight and fast.

We put a little more power in it. The track's coming around.

It's going to hold more power.

So we're going to go out there. We're going to give it hell.

And hopefully we come out there with the wind light on.

Round three.

Let's get her done. Get her round four, baby.

Thank you. You're helping Liz.

What is it?

Keeps Daddy safe.

Time to get in the hot box.

John Odom, he's getting better. I just talked to John.

He's getting a little frisky up there on the tree.

Hopefully he's got that dialed back a little bit. I told him, I said, man,

you've got a fast enough car, just like me. I did it a couple races ago. I went

out there, I guessed the light, I went red.

So I told him to go ahead, run his race, do what he needs to do, but try to see

green and try to go, and let's see if we can pull off these wins.

Clay Cole over here in the right lane, new to the invitational class, trying to

make it to his first semifinal.

Well, the entire team.

All right, we'll do

the next.

All right, folks. Next pair here is going to be Chuck 55 going up against

Roberts.

Sean won, so that's a good deal.

We drew Robin Roberts.

He's a heavy hitter. He's the only one left on Ryan's team.

Sean and myself are still in on our team.

I think we're pulling ahead on team points, which is good.

My car, horsepower -wise, I think we're right there together.

We've got to keep knocking off the big hitters, and that's our goal.

Round three, I draw Chuck 55.

We're great friends, but when you roll up to the line, nobody's your buddy.

Chuck's running good.

Heck, here he is in the final eight. We're usually faster.

Who knows?

Everyone out here is really good. Chuck's really good. We're just going to

and beat it.

Man, I am pumped.

Super excited and fortunate.

We're kind of getting this hot rod come around.

And so pumped that we pulled out a W on that.

You just squeezed out on me in the middle.

We got a hot rod.

Each time we're getting a little bit better, a little bit better.

I love you and do good. Go now, go win this thing. Stop screwing around.

All right.

All righty, this will be the last pair of the third round for our invitational

class. That is going to be Kyle Canyon going up against Lizzie Musi.

Round number three, we drew Kyle Canyon. I know he had some troubles the last

round against Kayla.

They said, oh, he's broke. I'm not taking anyone for granted.

I know, watch, he's going to have a...

together. He's going to pull like a nice, perfect Hail Mary run against me,

we're going to get after it.

She gets the win.

Another great side -by -side drag race for Lizzie. He was out on it. Oh, yeah.

Most everybody is, and then she turns them all on and then locks it up.

Hey, we tied for first.

Thank you.

She tied us up for first place. If she wins again next round, we'll be in first

place for good. So right now, just like last week, we're all on Lizzie's back

and cheering her on. Hope she does good.

Watch out, watch out.

Bonnie's doing work. That's all I know.

And the whole team's doing work. We got this momentum coming from Tulsa, and

let's just keep it going, keep it going.

Hard work, hard work, right?

All right. Well,

invitational class, semifinal drivers meeting is now.

Folks, at the very beginning of the day, we started with 32 drivers. We are down

to four.

And I can't tell you how happy it makes me to look right to my right and see

Murder Nova still standing here. We've said it since the beginning, one round

a time. And we've won first round and we've lost second round every time. So

get to the semifinals, it feels great. You know, I know that I have a car

competitive with anything out here, but everybody else.

has stepped their game up too. So there's a lot of fast cars here, and at

given day, any of these 32 invitational cars could have a chance at winning.

All right, let's get the chips. We've got who's racing who. Here we go.

All right, let me do my usual.

I can't really find the chip.

I'm going to let you draw.

You want to let me draw?

I'll let you draw. I'll draw then.

We'll get our two out.

All right, where are my number ones at?

Number one, Chuck 55.

And John Odom, which means the second pair will be Lizzie Busey and Murder

Nova. Oh, man.

That's going to be a great. I know he's flying, so.

Wow. All right.

Go ahead and head back to your pits. Get your cars turned around. Bring them in

the staging lanes. Here we go.

Come on. Come on.

Come on. Come on.

All right. First pair of the Invitational Semifinals coming at you

And that is John Odom going up against Chuck 55.

We've got to be up there in two minutes.

I do Chuck 55.

Now, I will say, since the start of my MPK career, every time I have raced

55, I've always beat him, starting from the very first race I ever had on my

very first weekend. So, I mean, the odds are pretty good, right? But you never

know. He's running fast.

His car is very different than it was last year, and he's in the final four,

you know that car is fast.

So we came back. We talked about it. We're going to turn it up. We feel like

track will handle it now. We'll go out and see what we do.

Last two rounds, he's been pretty lucky. Last two pairs had red light against

him, so he hadn't had to work for it too hard, but I'm going to make him work

for it.

I don't take off until I see green. So don't think there's going to be another

red light wind because I want red light.

I made a good pass against Birdman. He's like, dude.

You're never going to believe the fastest pass I've ever made in that car.

said, that's happened six times this year.

Everybody gets out. That's what they tell me.

You know what I mean?

That's just my luck. But, I mean, it is what it is. You've got to be faster than

the guy next to you.

Obviously, this year, I'm not.

I'll tell you what, though. Mike Murillo, if I get a chance at you, I may

win light this year.

If I get a chance at you, I may get a win light, dude.

I'm calling you out next week, dude.

Can I call you out next week in the race your way in?

I got something.

What?

A little girl gave me a duck.

Oh, man. She trying to say something?

All right. First pair of the Invitational Semifinals coming at you

That is John Odom going up against Chuck 55.

He throws that thing.

Woo!

Woo!

So our team really gathered up some points right now. I don't know where

going to settle out at, but I think we've probably at least gained one

maybe two.

Woo! I was right next to you. It was crazy.

Dude, love you, man.

That was a good race. So proud of you, dude. Hey. So proud of you this year. So

proud of you.

The way I see it, man, we're even now. Yes, we are.

I love you. Yeah, man.

Good job, man. Good job.

Here we go.

Lizzie Musi going up against Murder Nova.

Hey, Pat, Pat.

Hey, just to let you know, I'm going to start my car once Lizzie starts doing

her burnout.

That's fine. Okay.

Okay. I just, I'm not going to around. I just know that it doesn't take me as

long to get ready as it does y 'all. And I don't want her to change her program.

I know she doesn't for anybody, but you know what I mean? Okay.

Okay, it feels amazing. This is the first time that we've been to the third

round, let alone the fourth. You know, we've won first round and we've lost

second round every time. So to get to the semifinals, it feels great.

That's right, baby. We drew Lizzie.

She's the one to beat. She's got a brand new car. She brought the brand new car

out the first time in Tulsa and won the whole event.

And she's rolling. Her car's fast.

Beating her, it's going to take a lot. But we're going to run the lane. We're

going to put the amount of power that we think that it'll take, and hopefully

it's enough to outrun her. I trust you. I said I'm not going to do anything

crazy. No, I know. I'm just not going to do my burnout until y 'all do y 'all's.

Okay, that's fine. You're good, Sean. Good luck. Be safe.

Bye. I am the last woman standing on my team. Rolling into the semifinals, and I

drew Sean Muranova. He's got his together.

He's fast. I raced him. Last time I raced him, it was in Virginia.

All right, let's go.

Everything's just going to have to, like, be perfect.

Everything's got to work because it happens in racing.

Parts failure.

Every little stupid thing can happen. So everything's just going to have to

freaking lay perfect.

Get the win.

Wow. You're number one. You're number one.

Really? Hell yeah.

We left both at the same time.

He was right there the whole way. My car just started pulling real hard towards

the end.

I was able to get the win.

The car is all in the ass right now. It's good. It's running good. Holy.

Good job. Good job.

She out 60 -footed me. She out 660'd me. I gave it everything that I had. I made

a decent run that I can hold my head up about. And she drove away from me. It

was really close. And then she locked it up. And she just started kind of

pulling away, man. I was like, oh, no.

Attention in the stands.

Fans, I have some bad news.

That's going to put us past the curfew of midnight.

So. I hate to say it, we are done for the night. The Invitational Finals will

ran at the next race, Denver, Colorado.

Idaho, thank you so much for coming out. Don't drive home safe.

We're here in Colorado, Bandimere Speedway, and it's finally time to run

finals from last week.

We're going to see Chuck 55 going up against Lizzie Musi for $40 ,000.

This racetrack is extremely tricky. We're at an extremely high altitude,

means the cars are going to make less power, and they will be harder to tune.

In this final, Lizzie might have a slight edge, as she is a nitrous car.

The nitrous car can make its own atmosphere. It can just add more nitrous

faster, whereas the blower car, like Chuck 55, the blower car has to compress

the air.

And if the air is thin, it's much harder to do.

My dad said, oh, don't run it all the way because of the elevation.

And that's hard for me to do. If it feels good, I want to go all the way.

You don't want to burn the thing down too early.

Yeah, I know.

I guess we got to get a reading on the plugs and see, like, how everything's

running in this elevation. That's the biggest thing.

You got this.

It's easy.

Keep going what you're doing. Keep going.

Don't lift.

Yeah, that's the thing. Don't lift.

A lot of people are always throwing out here, like, oh, a nice car's got the

amends. I understand that. We can run fast.

But we've got to have our tune -up on point. Because if we don't, we do have a

fine line of nuke and a motor. And we don't want that.

I don't know. I feel confident in our tune -up. So, let's see. We've got to

for the best. That's it.

Kick some ass. All right?

Thank you.

Thank you, guys.

Everything good? Everything look good?

I'm telling you, I promise you, she's as nervous as we are.

There she goes.

I told her, I said, hey, I'm telling you right now, so far with her new car,

she's won every event she went to. Yep.

Which was Tulsa was the first event.

Right.

Idaho, on the other hand, we're fixing to break that routine.

Sure. I told her, I said, I'm going to make you work for it.

If you win, you earned it.

So with the finals being ran here in Vandermeer instead of Idaho, like we

at, the advantage is probably to her favor.

being the altitude about 5 ,000 feet higher here.

Blower cars don't like altitude.

The boost is down. The power is down.

Nitrous cars, on the other hand, it don't hurt them near as bad.

Nitrous oxide is an oxygen inhibitor, and it makes its own oxygen.

So a nitrous car is definitely to the advantage here in Colorado.

We've just got to be on our A game, tune in enough, make a good run.

And I think that'll be enough to win.

All right, folks.

Over in that left lane, that is going to be Lizzie Mucci going up against Chuck

Parker, Chuck 55 in the right lane.

I just don't think you get enough wheel speed doing a rolling burnout like that.

What do I know? He's in the final.

My third pick, Chuck Parker, he's in the finals right now, and he's fixing to

face Lizzie, and he did in Tulsa.

She actually outran him in Tulsa. He made a good path against her. He said it

was a really close race, but she outran him then.

So he knows what he's up against. His car's running pretty good today. He's

a fast car. He's got a good program, and that's the reason that I picked him, to

do things like this. And now he's in the finals, and my pick is paying out. But

Lizzie's a tough draw, and she ain't getting any slower.

to Lizzie Musi. She will be your Boise, Idaho invitational champ.

Hey, Chuck's car rolled out. Oh, man.

It just didn't make it past rolling out. No, it did not.

It was a little bit odd.

Good job, Mama.

Good job holding it. You held it. Good job.

I just won $40 ,000. See, Chuck? I knew it was going to try to hit that light.

Car hauled ass.

He stayed the whole way. Didn't see Chuck.

He must have shook, passed the finish line, car laid over, backfired, smoked,

the motor was toasted.

There you have it, folks.

Lizzie Musi, $40 ,000 richer.

Congratulations. I've got to say, like, everything that I've been going through

this year, like, with the whole breast cancer situation, I didn't know how this

year was going to play out. Honestly, it's crazy to be here, be able to win

races in a row. It's awesome.

Oh, you're doing a great job, New York.

Basically, the challenge is ahead of you. You overcame them, definitely.

Great job.

Thank you.

Lizzie Musi, folks!

That was a huge win for Lizzie and Team Kai Kelly.

With that win, they are now back at the top, sitting at number one.

Meanwhile, Team Daddy Day was able to do enough to remain in the second -place

spot, and we saw Team Murder Nova move ahead of Team Swanstrom into fifth

But as we've seen, one event can change things completely.

The season is far from over.

Next week, we're at Bandimere Speedway, which is the highest elevation we'll see

all season.

Ty's team has finally taken the lead, but is only 20 points ahead of Dave's

team.

So Dave Comstock, it's like the car died after the burnout.

Meanwhile, Ryan Martin is finally gaining some momentum.

This is my second week using the fireball for this. Today, I felt like we

finally got the car a little closer to where it needs to be.

And with only eight events left, time is running out to do what it'll take to

win the $200 ,000 championship.

Jerry Bird, lots of flames, smoke, all kinds of stuff over there in the left

lane. This weekend, we broke a rod.

You go from here one year to here like that.
