[man speaking]
[Big Chief] Previously on Street Outlaws...
We're fighting tooth and nail to represent the 405 on America's List...
I'm gonna tear his ass up.
[laughing] What do you think of that?
The small block still got it.
[Big Chief] ...and working side by side to make the whole team faster.
[Monza] Any [bleep] time you need anything, we're your guys.
[Big Chief] And we are reminded with each pass...
that every guy in this group is one of the fastest in the country.
[laughing] Oh, [bleep].
- I told you. - Holy [bleep]
- We can come back down with this thing now, right? - Yep.
We got one more ride to do?
- [Wheeler] One more. - Awesome
Hell yeah.
Well, after two nights, we sit at 2-1.
I'm really happy the way this ProCharger combination has come together.
- [Daddy Dave] Let's come down with it. - It's torqued and ready.
[Dave] We raced Lutz last week...
[starting gun fires]
And the car laid down one hell of a pass.
[Monza] That thing's [bleep] stupid, man.
Unfortunately, we got rained out and I didn't get to line up next to Chief,
but it's on the books and it's gonna happen.
So we're going through the car freshening everything up.
Nothing makes me more happier than giving Chief an I in the loser bracket.
[Wheeler] Watch your foot.
What y'all working on?
Ooh, what are you doing?
I want to see what y'all are up to.
Maintenance.
That looks like a whole rebuild, not maintenance.
It's maintenance. [laughs]
- [Damon] That's how you maintenance a Hemi? - [Dave] Yeah.
Wow, my Chevrolet ain't nothing like that.
We just change the oil and adjust rockers, like...
Wheeler, tell him the difference between his Chevrolet and this Hemi.
- A lot. - A couple numbers.
- Easy now. - [Dave laughs]
Hey, I ran one the other night and it wasn't that bad. So...
[Dave] I like having Damon around.
I've helped him out a little, seeing he's ProCharger like I am.
It's also great having some fresh blood in the group.
Oh, you raced Ryan didn't you? How'd that turn out?
Yeah, I mean, it was...
- Car? - It was about a car.
Nice.
He's a young gun and he's hungry, so it keeps us old guys on our toes
and makes us want to go faster,
but I still think we're giving him a way harder time than he's given us.
I hate losing, but we're learning,
and we're learning against the top guys. So it's pretty tough.
Well, there's one thing about being on a 405 list, or being associated with us.
We are gonna push you so hard.
Oh, I feel like I've been thrown to the wolves. That's for sure. [laughs]
-[Dave] I promise you, like, -But I...
I don't wear losing at all. I don't wear it well.
- I hate it. - [Wheeler] I don't either.
Yep, I... Uh, I can't lose too many more up here quick.
So I was fixing to race Chuck and it started raining on us,
so we didn't get to make our pass.
- Ah, it's [bleep] raining. - Yeah.
- [bleep] damn.
So he's gonna be really hard to beat.
And it's 60-foots.
- [bleep] that thing leaves. - I love 60-foot
You already race Chuck?
Very first past, that's when it stumbled.
Oh, so this will be your second pass with Chuck?
Yeah, and it's my chance for some redemption here.
And your first win.
And my first win.
You'll get it figured out.
I'm sure.
Yeah, I feel like we're right there. Just...
[Dave] I think Damon's gonna be some serious competition in the future.
He's smart, he's hungry, and he's dedicated to it,
But right now my main competition is Chief and Ryan.
It's the same story every year, and I know these guys are always trying
to push the limit on how fast we can go.
So I can't screw up even just a little bit of my program
if I want to stay on top with these guys.
So I'm gonna go
- do some service. - [Dave] You should probably go get faster somewhere.
-Make some changes, and uh, -[Dave] Go find some fastness.
Be on my way.
- [Dave] Let me know if you need anything else. - All right, thanks guys.
- [Wheeler] See you, buddy. - [Dave] No problem.
[Dave] Where were we before we were so rudely interrupted?
About to put in the last rod.
- [Dave] It's one rod, then we can... - [Wheeler] One rod.
- [Wheeler] Then we can start finishing, button it all up. - The pan and all that stuff.
Well, let's knock this one right in.
- [Wheeler] Let's get the last one done. - Get it done.
- [Dave] You good under there? - [Wheeler] Yep, waiting on you.
[Dave] Waiting on me, you're backing up.
I gotta say, these Hemis are nice to work on.
- Ready? - [Wheeler] Yep.
[Ryan] Okay, so I figured today we'd go check out the progress on the house
and the shop and stuff, since we really have not been around,
with the new combination, trying to stay on top.
- Lot of testing? - [Ryan] Yeah.
I've been going to either the race track or somewhere on the street every night
trying to make sure the car's right.
- [Cherish] Yeah. - [Ryan] So figured we'd just go over here
and just go check it out.
You wanna go check on the new house?
- Yeah, let's go check it out. - [Ryan] Go to the farm?
That's where we're going. Not really a farm, there's no animals there.
[Cherish] He calls it the farm.
[Ryan] He likes to call it the farm.
[Dax] 'Cause we're gonna get animals there soon.
- [Ryan] We are getting animals, that's right. - [laughing] Okay.
[Dax] Like, chickens and cows and stuff.
Well, I don't know about all that.
- [Cherish laughing] Oh, my. - But we're gonna do some... We're gonna get some things.
For sure.
We started building a house and the new shop on some property that I bought.
It's been a dream of mine to live where the new property is,
and in that area, I've been looking forever,
something came up for sale and I finally grabbed it.
- Yeah, but here it is. See the dirt? - [Cherish] Yeah.
So we're starting to have a spot we can actually put the house on.
Yeah, making it more level.
[Ryan] Yeah, they got the dozer out here and everything.
All my past success is what has enabled me to be able to build a house
and build a shop and do the things that I'm doing.
Let's stand where our living room might be.
- [Cherish] Ooh. - [Ryan] Yeah?
So if it's done anything, it's put more pressure on me
to keep trying to find that better combination.
It's what's motivating me right now to keep going.
You never complain, you never gripe,
you never ask why I'm out till one or two in the morning,
and I just want you to kinda understand that this is why.
Everything I do is so that we, you know, we can have this type of stuff
and give him somewhere, you know, I wanted something where he could...
He could have grass to play on, and,
-you know, -[Cherish] Yeah.
[Ryan] all that stuff. When... When I was a kid I grew up on...
Up on five acres out in the middle of nowhere in the country,
and we didn't really have any money or anything,
but it was fun because we had five acres to play on, you know?
We could ride your bike everywhere,
and that's... I want him to have the same stuff.
Anytime I'm not the best car on the road,
I feel like I'm failing not only myself,
but my family at home, my guys in the shop, and everything.
You know, me finishing fourth last year in America's List, it hurt.
I really wanted to be one of the cars at the top.
I feel like I just kind of let everybody down that was around me.
So that's kinda what's behind pushing me
to make the Fireball the undisputed fastest car in the country.
We know what we're doing, we know... We know what we've gotten ourselves into.
We know what this deal has become,
and so now, we just can't stop pushing.
Like, you know, I'm not gonna use the word gamble,
but we're doing all this because the success that we've had
and that's why we need to keep pushing.
I'm 4-0, I'm really happy with the new combination.
The things that it's done already
has been faster than my turbo stuff has been,
and that makes me know that I've made the right move.
But I knew in order for me to make a move,
I had to get out of the rut that I was in with the turbo car.
But I'm just preparing you, it ain't gonna get any easier.
And I'm not gonna push any less,
- [Ryan] and I wouldn't change it any other way. - That'll just make this
so much more rewarding at the end of it.
[Ryan] Did you see they got all the...
They cleared all those trees back behind the shop so we can get to the creek?
[Cherish] Yeah.
I never had a creek when I was little.
Hey, I lived in apartments when I was little.
- [Ryan] There you go. - [Cherish laughing]
So I'm trying to give him stuff that I never had that I wanted.
[Cherish] That's why parents work so hard
is to give the kids the life that they never had, right?
[Dax speaking]
[Ryan] Some grass?
Hopefully, in the next year we'll have some grass.
[Erin] What'd you do at school today?
[Aidan] Um...
Basically, same thing as every day.
How are your grades?
[Aidan] All As.
- Are you sure. - Positive. Checked them this morning.
But I did have a science test today,
- [Erin] Yeah? - [Aidan] and [sighs] I hate science.
[Murder Nova] What are you doing?
[Aidan] Nothing much.
- [Erin] Hey. - [kissing]
Talking about school. He had a science test today.
[Murder Nova] Ooh.
As I get older, things change in life.
Uh, it's... There's nothing like being at home.
- Do you want me to make your plate? - [Aidan] Yes, please.
[Murder Nova] I... I'm not doing real good racing right now.
The car's making really good passes,
but my win versus my loss record is definitely not showing that.
We knew were going to struggle with OG out on that road.
- [Erin] But it's what we had. - [Murder Nova sighs]
0-3 is tough to swallow.
[Aidan] Mm.
I know the OG's fast,
- and it's been fast before. - [Murder Nova] It is. No, it is fast,
but that's relative. The OG was fast five years ago
-because it was the same five years ago, -[Aidan] Yeah.
And we've upgraded and updated everything that we can, aside from what's holding us back,
the chassis.
Everybody else has updated everything and got...
newer, better, you know, nicer, lighter, faster stuff.
I'm putting faster tune-ups than I've ever had in this car,
and I'm making good passes and still getting outran.
And it's not the fact that the car is not doing
what the car's supposed to do, it is.
It's fast. It's even faster than it's ever been.
So we are stepping up. I just can't go any faster,
and we're getting fendered out by everybody.
-If I don't make the top five in the Oklahoma City list, -[Erin] Uh-huh?
I don't go back to America's Top 20.
[Erin] Oh.
That's the thing, like, that's a real thing.
Yeah.
If something happens, you have one bad season
-[Murder Nova] and you don't make it -And now you're just out.
[Murder Nova] back to that, you're just out.
But if I lost and I was in Nebraska,
and I couldn't take the time to get my head right like this,
and I was living out of a toter by myself,
[sighs] it'd be rough.
Racing here in Oklahoma, and back out at that road that I can't win on,
it's got its ups and downs.
- [Erin] You're at home. - Like, the racing part is all downs,
- but everything else is all ups. - [laughing] ...is all up.
I'm 100% race, but I'm also 100% family,
but with that being said, I have got to come up with a way to get faster.
So what do you got to do in the shop?
Fixing to head back out there?
[Murder Nova] Yeah.
Yeah.
We gotta go make that car win.
Yeah.
[laughing]
[Big Chief] Coming up...
[Jeff] Your boy's about to get [bleep] up.
[Dave laughing] Show me.
[Big Chief] When you're as fast as we are...
- Good luck, Jeff. - [Jeff] Thank you.
[Big Chief]... it doesn't take much
for it all to go wrong.
-[tires screeching] -[man screaming] No, no, no!
Started out race night two about like we did number one.
Dropped our first race against Monza.
We go in, we draw Monza and Chuck again, and, uh, we just fell short again.
The car left good.
[starting pistol fires]
Kinda got a little angry on the shift,
and then we hit that little transition that's in the road out there.
And that really pissed it off and slung us kinda into the curb.
I think we are gonna probably make a couple of little adjustments on the four-link.
The more we run on this road, we feel like we got the front half of it down.
We're just gonna apply a little more power here
and just really throw the coals to it.
At this point I'm feeling pretty frustrated
with the lack of success we've had.
I feel like my crew and I have been doing just about everything right.
We gotta get on the right track
to picking up some of these wins.
So what I think we're gonna do here...
We'll, uh, we'll jump on this and start making adjustments.
So it's race night three, and I'm done playing around.
I'm probably gonna put something pretty hot in it.
I hope the road... It's all there to take it.
Sick and tired of losing at this point, and I'm gonna just go all out from now on.
We need to also change that sniffer tube.
It caught it on the curb, and...
[Jared] I tried to beat it out before...
- [Damon] Yeah, no, you did it, yeah. - [Jared] before your racing.
But yeah it's beat up, she's beat up pretty good.
So watching it, who do you feel like's made kinda the...
The move with Monza being 4-0, Ryan being 4-0,
like who's the other cars to watch there.
I feel like Monza is the, from what I expected to see to what they're doing...
- Yeah. - Is completely opposite and they're doing a great job.
I mean, I've been impressed by them.
Ryan's the same old Ryan.
-And then Lutz didn't make it down, -[Ryan] So...
- Lutz didn't make it? - [Damon] Murder Nova didn't make it down with him,
- [Ryan] No? - And Chief red lit,
but Chief made a pretty good pass and put it on him, so...
Dave's fast.
Shawn's car's come around pretty good.
- [laughing] Yeah. - That last look he made was [bleep] salty.
- It was salty, he was driving it. - [Damon] Yeah.
- Well... - So that was pretty impressive.
I don't feel like there's any gimmes here.
There's nobody there that I'm like, okay, that's an easy win.
- [Damon] Right. - They're all have to work for it.
-And I think... I think this format -[Ryan] That's...
is kinda bringing that out in everybody.
[Ryan] Yeah, that's what's happening
[bleep] you better [bleep] step up
and have your [bleep] together real quick.
I mean, racing with these guys is the big leagues, there's no doubt about it.
There's a reason that we're here. We earned our way into this group.
Hopefully, we can just start stringing some wins together
with more data that we get.
It's just time to take that next step and go from competing
with them here and there to winning some of these.
And there's no time for taking a break.
There's no down time, it's, you're racing
or fixing.
That's where we're at.
I really hope this makes the move that we need
'cause we need to get some wins here for sure.
We'll just have to test it out and check.
- [Jared Rockhold] Yeah. - [Damon Merchant] First pair down.
[Murder Nova] Okay.
The last pass
that we made,
- you know, when Ryan beat us by half a car. - Mm-hmm.
[engines accelerating]
- [laughs] - [man] Oh, [bleep].
I told it, I told ya.
Holy [bleep].
What's the call on that deal?
[man on walkie] Left lane half a car.
- [man] Whoo! - Nice job.
Everyone's beat us by half a car
- Seems like-- - Half a car's, half a car's our thing.
And you know what to be honest with you...
I get it I should be upset, and I am upset
that we don't have any wins.
- But you cannot be upset with how the car's running. - [Phantom] No.
The car's running great.
It's running better than it ever has.
It is shaking out there a little bit.
If we can get the shake out of it, we can make up that half a car.
Probably.
[Murder Nova] Look,
I still haven't got away from the shake on this road.
So we're in the "Do or die,"
"We have to make it happen"
mind frame right now.
And since I can't bring out the new car
and I'm so damn close to winning with the OG,
I came up with a Hail Mary plan
that just might work
and put the tire shake in the rearview.
What we talked about doing with the four link
was taking the bottom two bars
going up one hole.
Well, we're out of holes.
So we'll drop the car off at Don's.
He is going to put the doublers on the rear end.
But we will get the car back from Don.
We'll move it up one hole.
And then we'll see if it don't shake.
The way my chassis was set up
I couldn't raise the four link
bar angle any more than I already had.
So we welded in what's called doublers.
And they give us more four link holes than we had before.
I think that will finally get rid of the tire shake.
So when we hit the road the next time,
all I've gotta do is put a tune-up
that I think is gonna go down this road and get my first win.
So are we gonna get to test?
- The new... Oh. - No.
-No, we 're gonna pick the car up -Okay.
- And go straight to race night. - Right on.
- I mean it can't be any worse. - No.
What are we gonna do, lose again?
It's either gonna work or it's not gonna work.
But,
we win our next two races,
we're right there in it.
We're right in the mix.
If we win one more and it's a winning streak.
[Murder Nova] We're right in the mix.
If we win one more than two
it's a winning streak.
Look, the last time we did this deal,
- we started off strong. - Real strong.
[Murder Nova] We didn't end strong.
Maybe we didn't
start strong,
but we end strong.
We got 'em right where we want 'em.
Yeah. [laughs]
Normally by half way through
we're going, "Yeah, we got 'em right where we want 'em,"
and then we slack off.
And then, and then, you know, we just
- squeak by. - Yep.
- All right. I'll let you know when Don calls. - Okay.
[Big Chief] We are back on the road for our third night of racing.
We got rained out last week.
So before we draw chips
we need to get off three races.
Chuck versus Damon, me versus Dave, and Jeff versus Shawn.
With a couple of race nights behind us,
guys are starting to get a handle on their hot rods.
[Damon] It takes about
five seconds to change that tune.
[Big Chief] But they're also seeing stuff break underneath them.
I didn't want to go test or anything 'cause I got,
I got a lot of marks on this deal.
And I ain't scared to [bleep] run
a 100 passes, but...
we're getting there.
[Big Chief] This road can handle so much power,
and we're all putting in
really hot tunes every pass.
Like the starting line felt like it was pretty good.
Like it'll come around pretty fast.
[Big Chief] But every man out here wants to go to America's List.
So we've got to work together tonight to get all our races off
so everyone has a chance to shine.
[Chuck Seitsinger] Oh.
First down.
I like it. I like the challenge.
Road will be dirty.
I hope the tune-up will be nice to me.
'Cause, man, you, I mean, Damon's is in a car
like any of us so...
If you slip up, like, you know.
So actually we got
this first one, then we're gonna have the chip draw,
and then we'll have
two more races.
So we got three hits to make tonight,
and we gotta make all three of them count.
Because 0-3, like,
I don't want to go into this deal on...
Yeah, so...
We, uh, drew Chuck,
and we're the first pair down.
[gun fires]
[Damon] Chuck and that death trap
have been a kryptonite of mine.
[engine sputtering]
Chuck, left lane, by a car.
[Damon] Raced him three times last season.
He beat me every single time.
Damon left a little early so that is a W for Chuck.
[bleep]
[gun fires]
Wow.
[Chuck] Yes [bleep].
Yes, [bleep] Damon, that's how you [bleep] drive.
[Damon] [bleep] sick of this [bleep].
And then he did it again
to start off this season.
Damon be sleeping.
I mean I like Chuck and all,
but losing to him is getting really old.
So it's about time to get some redemption on his ass.
[Jared speaking]
[Damon] Yeah, I didn't pay attention to none of that.
We're about to find out if it's fact or fiction.
[Damon] We tried to turn it into horsepower
- is that what we did? - [Jared] Right, correct.
It makes sense when you don't think about it.
[Damon] Hey, it's cool now.
Yeah, you know, [bleep]
[Chuck] Your boy's about to get [bleep] up.
- [Dave Comstock] What? - Your boy's about to get [bleep] up.
[Dave] Show me.
Hey, he said, "You're about to get [bleep] up."
- [Damon] Huh? Okay. - He said, "You about to get [bleep] up."
Oh, hot Damon, over there just...
[Chuck] I'm gonna show you something here, Dave.
[Dave] You ain't gonna show me [bleep], Chuck.
Show me what this lane will handle,
- and then I'll know what to load in mine. - Okay, okay.
I took a degree out at the back just to play it safe.
So it should still be a...
40, 41.
I don't know if it'll take those brand-new tires.
And I don't know...
I just don't know if this road will take it. We're gonna find out.
Race night number three,
road's a little bit green, it's dirty, traffic's been driving on it for a week.
I've already beaten Damon once.
So I'm gonna take a couple chances
put a little bit more power in the car in certain areas.
I wanna chance it.
Put the 24 in mine and it was sketchy as hell down there.
[Chuck] So if I have to race somebody
fast, next weekend
I'm gonna have the testing already done.
If I race you I'm gonna be all over this red button when I leave.
I'mma let go and then I'mma go... [laughs]
And when I'm out on you, I'm gonna hit it
and look back at ya.
Don't look back, you'll hear me coming.
All right, set the tires.
So I guess Damon,
he better have his [bleep] together
because this thing's gonna be wicked up.
[Damon] Chuck looks like he's over there feeling pretty confident
in his stuff.
[engine accelerating]
So that might work out well for me.
Just looking for these guys
to slip up just a little bit enough for us to get around 'em.
And if he's looking past me to the other guys?
This might be my opportunity to get a win.
- [Murder Nova] You know how loud that is, Dave? - What?
[laughing]
No.
It's a little bit quieter than yours.
[engines roaring]
[gun fires]
- Nice race. - [Big Chief] That was a good race.
Damon against the curb again.
- [Jeff Lutz] We got close again, didn't he? - [Dave] Yeah.
What's the call?
[man on walkie] Right lane by a fender.
Right lane by a fender. [bleep]
[Damon] What'd they call out?
[Ryan Martin] They, he, somebody got on the radio and said...
They said, "Right lane by a fender."
[Damon] Okay.
It looked really close from down here.
[Damon] [bleep] it was.
- It was. - He get you down here or up there?
[Damon] I think pretty much up the whole [bleep] way.
[Chuck] Hey.
- [Ryan] Good job, Chuck. - [Chuck] Hey,
[bleep] hell's an hell.
I'm like, "[bleep]," I was like, "Yeah, I hear him he's too close."
[car starting]
[engine revving]
I felt it on the plot out the back so that it wouldn't hold it.
- So and then I held it right here. So... - Yeah.
Yeah this was legit. Yeah, he was [bleep], he was [bleep] ready.
[Chuck] It held it here. It didn't held it out back.
I, I could feel it on the plot.
So I put a healthy tune in,
but it didn't hold it out back. It was... I felt it on the dot.
'Cause I mean I can feel it. Yeah.
And he was... I was like, "Oh, don't you make me."
- [all laughing] - It was already on the dots, but I still was gonna grab it.
[Damon] Chief brought us in.
[gun fires]
Hit the light, we left together.
He got out on me a little bit,
and he clipped me by a fender.
I'm down 0-4,
and I really have been
struggling to get ahead of anybody out here.
But we gotta re-asses,
look at more data and make a few little changes,
and I think we'll be out on 'em.
[Damon sighs]
Maybe a fender.
Like we were right there.
Just coming up short, man.
[engine roaring]
How bad is it?
- A little bit. - Not little...
I, I hit the button. I stabbed it.
Like we were right [bleep] there and I gained some ground, I feel like.
Mm-hmm.
[Chuck] Me and Damon race and I guarantee it.
My car was still fast even though I took
a little bit of power out of it.
[bleep] stupid fast. I mean, but, hey,
hats off to Damon.
I could hear him, I couldn't see him, but I know he was right there at my door.
How many then?
[man] Yeah, it looked good down low.
- Down low looked good. - It went straight.
Yeah, I don't, I don't,
I don't even remember what I did up top.
- I was looking at him. So... - [man] Right.
That kid is stepping up faster than anybody I've seen step up on this list.
So hats off to him, but I'm still leaving here with a win.
So 3-1.
I'm off to a good start.
Dude.
One of these days. One of these [bleep].
[Chuck] Best drag race I've had out here, No.
Dude, that was a drag race.
- Good job. - I appreciate it.
Good job. Don't [bleep] hold your head up on that.
That bitch was fast.
- What I'm talking about... - When I can see you out of my peripheral
and I can hear you right behind me.
To be honest I wasn't even looking at the finish line.
-I was like watching you and I was like... Well, -Yeah, we're...
- good job. - Hey.
- Damn good job, man. Damn good job. - Y'all did good.
Thanks, man.
I feel like we're right there so if, like, we can pull data,
kind of check out, uh, and see if it hit anything.
But I feel like the tune's right there, like...
- Yeah. - The car worked.
We're just gonna have to see if we can put anything to it anywhere,
and just try to go a little bit faster, man.
We get it cooled off.
All right.
- [Big Chief] Who's calling it, Dave? - [Dave] What?
Who's calling it?
You can call it.
- Huh? I don't care. - You can call it.
What lane you want?
- What? - [Dave] What lane you want?
[Jackie Braasch] He didn't call it.
[Big Chief] What lane do I want?
Left, I guess.
It's yours.
Okay.
[Dave] Here we are, race night three,
continuous from last week and this race with Chief is finally gonna get off.
- Good luck, brother. - [Dave] Yes.
[Big Chief] We are left.
Chief, he's gonna take the left lane.
Which I'm fine with, we've been fast on both lanes.
So we're gonna swing for this thing and see what it does.
I want to get this one over with.
I do too.
I feel good.
[thunderclap]
Yeah.
[thunder rumbling]
[Dave] I want to get this one over with.
I've been leaning on the car pretty hard the last few weeks.
When racing on this road I've got to go extremely fast to win.
But in order to go that fast,
I've got to put tune-ups in the car that are really hard on the motor.
But with the rain front rolling in,
it seems like all I gotta do is get this one hit off against Dave.
And then I might have a few days to freshen things up,
back for the rest of the season.
Everything just has to hold together for one more pass.
Who's got the radar? Like, where's the weather guy?
[man speaking]
Ugh. Just hanging out. Like a gnat at a family barbeque.
It seems like this dark cloud has been over my head.
And it happens to be rain.
It's raining now.
[Dave] Every time we go to race,
it starts sprinkling or it starts raining.
Ugh. I almost went and then I just seen it.
- Did you see that big drop? - Yeah.
- Come on. - [man] Get your ass out there.
I say, get it out.
Let's just [bleep] it. Let's just do it.
- Let's go. - Let's do it.
[Dave] I really gotta think this through.
I gotta make sure the road is dry.
Make sure it's all right
before I let go of the button on this thing.
[bleep] I'm gonna be dodging raindrops.
The rain is coming. We can see it in the distance.
But, I feel like we got enough time to get this car to the line,
take care of Chief,
and then we can load up before the rain gets here.
- Are you going over [bleep] in your head, too? - [laughing] Yes.
I am. Like, I just tore this whole car apart and put it back together that quick.
Everything's good, right? We put new rods in it.
It's full of fluid.
They ain't gonna leak now.
- [laughing] - I fixed them.
Yeah.
- We're gonna go for it. - It's hot.
Like, I calmed it down from Lutz's on the hit
in the beginning, but then it's...
It should go back.
You ready?
Pfft. I'm always ready.
It's gonna be a good year.
I'm just gonna smash people.
Every time they... Whoever parks next to me.
Except for Ryan.
- I'm gonna get him. - At least sometimes.
I'm gonna get him by the end of the year.
I don't know how, but I'm gonna get him.
[man speaking]
[Dave] Yep. Right as rain, boy.
Huh. You get it?
When you pull me to the line, this time put me close.
You know what I mean?
Closer than normal, yeah.
'Cause if this is gonna be a close race
I don't wanna [bleep] around.
- [Cassie Comstock] Okay. - [Dave] All right.
[Cassie] Good luck.
Thank you, baby. Love you.
[Big Chief] We've seen it every season between me and Dave.
We always have two of the fastest cars on the road
and we always draw each other.
[Big Chief] Over the years, we've traded spots up and down the list.
[bleep] yeah!
[man] Yeah!
There'll be more [bleep], I guarantee you.
But I'm still gonna put it on my big-ass head.
- [man] All right. - [scattered applause]
[Big Chief] He's knocked me out of multiple Cash Days in two different cars.
This is the semi-finals, to the biggest Cash Days ever.
Big Chief and Daddy Dave.
[man on radio] Daddy Dave, half a car.
- Daddy Dave! Half a car! - Daddy Dave!
[Dave] I've known Chief for a very long time.
When we pull to the line,
the friendship ends right there.
Chief is just another opponent.
And I'll beat him just like I beat everybody else.
Take that [bleep] winning pro mod and shove it [bleep].
- Shove it right [bleep] if you get the chance. - Yeah.
[Big Chief] And with each passing year, the rivalry only grows stronger.
I was born on Earth, delivered to Nebraska tonight
to hand Dave his first I.
I cannot tell you how much pleasure that's gonna give me.
Last year, I beat him in Nebraska.
And I know he's still salty about that.
- Whoo. Damn. - Son of a bitch.
[woman] Look at how late you were.
Oh. Oh, ow. Oh, turn it off.
- When they said by a couple car lengths... - Despicable.
[Big Chief] Dave won the last time so it's my turn tonight.
My plan is to nail the light and get out on him
before he knows what hit him.
- [Big Chief] Hey, if this son of a bitch goes... - [Ryan] Yeah?
[Big Chief] It's gonna be a Ryan Fireball Martin Killer.
Dang. That's a badass car.
But if it don't... [laughs]
Hey, I ain't ever seen one of these spin their tires yet.
[engine clunking]
Now, that's not what I wanted to hear at all, little buddy.
[engine turns over]
[engine starts]
[starting gun fires]
[laughing maniacally]
- Pulled all the rubber up, didn't it? - Yep.
Just smoke tires?
[man 1] Yeah.
[man 2] Is that Dave already?
[man 1] Yeah, He just turned around.
[Dave] That's not the way I wanted this pass to go.
This car has not blown the tires off once,
and this is the one pass I didn't need it to do it.
[Dave] The [bleep] was that?
[man] Looked like you was trying to go really fast.
[Dave] I was.
Ryan, what happened to that theory, buddy?
-[Ryan] You had five degrees in it -[Dave] Yeah.
[Ryan] and it smoked the tires worse than it did,
er, it didn't smoke the tires the other day.
I don't know. Made no sense to me, either.
When we talk about degrees, we're talking about ignition timing.
A one degree can be as much as 50 or 75 horsepower.
So, five degrees could be two or 300 horsepower at any given time.
I really don't know exactly what happened.
Maybe he just got a little too aggressive with the timing.
[Dave] Ryan says, "I ain't ever seen one of them spin the tires."
[Ryan] Yeah. [bleep] I shouldn't have said that.
My bad.
[Dave] Everyone's telling me I spun the tires,
but then the car lost power.
Either way, something's wrong.
And I just took an I to Chief of all people.
[Ryan] So, you have too much horsepower.
[Dave] I was trying to go really fast right there.
[Ryan] I know. I can see that. You pulled up all the rubber off our road.
So whoever's third has to go through a bald spot.
-[Dave] Nice -[Ryan] You just, you just janked them.
[Ryan] All right, go.
That's a wrap.
Daddy Dave loses to Chief.
And he, uh, pulled all the rubber off the road, so...
[Ryan] [bleep] I'd have no clue.
It had added timing.
It had five degrees... five degrees of timing in it.
I don't... Yeah. I don't know. I just don't get it.
I'm not gonna let that get in my head though.
That's way [bleep] weird.
Like, I didn't feel like... Was it spinning or was it...
I mean, did the tires smoke? So it was the tranny?
[bleep]
We need to get it fixed.
That'll be [bleep] three losses tonight.
Put the cooler on it. At least.
I did get the burn out though, right?
[bleep]
After this race, I kinda wish it would have rained.
And then we probably would have known
that something was wrong with my transmission.
That wasn't smoke, that was the [bleep] tranny.
Yeah.
[bleep] Damn it.
[Dave] About 200 foot out
we smoked the tranny, lost all power.
He's gonna take that win.
[Big Chief] Winning a race is always sweet.
And the car ran great.
But when you win because your opponent broke down,
that's not the way you want.
I'm looking forward to beating Dave in a fair race.
But in the meantime,
I hope he gets his car back on track quickly.
Good job.
One on one, we're going the same way.
I ain't taking one, you ain't taking that.
- Yeah. - You good with that?
Except for those nights.
- Well, I mean, they're not just, you gotta, you know. - Yeah.
- But I mean as far as me and you... - Oh, yeah.
As far as I'm concerned right now, we're green.
- That's real, properly good. - Yeah.
Okay, so...
Which one of y'all drove the farthest?
It doesn't matter. He can call it.
- Okay. He's calling it? - Oh. I'm calling it?
- You're letting your elders call? - Yeah, you can call.
- Is that what going on? Is it the gray hair? - Yeah. I respect my elders.
I don't know. That's what he said.
[bleep] I see one sticking out of your face.
One, not 89 million.
[both laughing]
- It's not so much here. - Okay.
- It's all here. - I just cut mine off so you can't see it.
- All right, here we go. - You ready?
- Here we go. - Heads.
Oh, let's see. Yeah, no problem.
That is a...
That is a tails.
- That was a tails. - He's gonna say, "I'm gonna let you go."
- Well, of course. - [laughing]
Of course. I'd be stupid to pick right now.
[Big Chief] It looked like we were gonna get hit with a bunch of rain,
but miraculously, it went around us,
so we keep racing.
Hey, Shawn.
I only spooled this once at the track
and it took a minute so don't, don't uh,
get on the chip. I'm gonna tell him.
- All right. To bring you in first? - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[Murder Nova] We have two turbo cars
and if you're trying to spool your car
and it doesn't spool and the guy next to you
is already spooled up, popping and banging,
it's definitely gonna cause some drama.
So, I need to not, even as he's bringing Lutz in,
I need to not spool mine up yet,
like I did against Dom.
So, Lutz coming over and letting me know
he's been having a tough time spooling the car,
is the right thing to do.
I'll give him a little extra time,
he'll spool his car, and I'll go in second.
Hey, Ryan.
Do you wanna help us?
- Yeah. - Okay.
- Sure. - Just help him bag me up or whatever.
Yeah, yeah. Where do you want me?
Okay. For sure.
I'll be right back. You bet. No problem.
[Murder Nova] Even though I wanna get this first win,
I'm definitely gonna give him
the time that he needs to spool his car.
I don't wanna win unless I earn it.
But, I've got something up my sleeve.
I made some chassis changes this past week
that should get rid of my tire shake.
If this car doesn't shake,
I'm about to get my first win.
You've got this, don't worry.
You should nail your light, you know?
Yeah. Further up. All right, let's do this [bleep].
Thank you.
[Lutz] You know, Shawn may be winless this season so far,
but he's been making some pretty good passes.
I'm not gonna take him lightly.
Chief and I have been working on my tune all season.
And I'm fixing to turn it up.
And we're gonna make a big statement against Murder Nova.
[starting gun fires]
Son of a bitch.
Get him out here.
[bleep] Lutz gets on the brakes really hard.
[bleep] and bounce it.
Every [bleep] damn race I hear.
[bleep]
What's the call on that one?
[man on radio] Standby.
- Ooh. - Oh, that was a close one.
What, you gotta go to the camera?
My eyes were closed when the light came on,
so I didn't know who left first.
But when I turned around,
it looked like Shawn went running.
Lutz definitely left on him,
but it looked like Shawn went around him.
By the time I got my sight back,
Shawn was in the bump against the curb.
And then I went to the finish line
and the shoots weren't out, I was like
I was like, "Oh, my [bleep] God."
Did you win?
- [Jeff] Who won? - We don't know.
- I, I thought I was out in front of him, but... - Ooh, he's coming in.
- [Lutz] His [bleep] dark. I can't see him. - Yeah.
- They don't know. - They're gonna feel it here in just a minute.
I think I clipped him at the end.
- They didn't call the winner yet? - [all] No.
- They don't know. - It was [bleep] close.
But I'm pretty sure I clipped him at the end.
- [Jeff] Man, I... - That's exactly what he said.
- [Jeff] I never seen ya. - That's what clipping them at the end means.
I know he didn't see me.
Otherwise, he probably would have [bleep] got back in it.
- No, I, I got back in. - I feel like everything was [bleep] like this.
And I was coming and I'm pretty sure I [bleep] went around him
- before the finish line, but... We'll see. - Okay, now...
- I feel that I clipped him right at the finish line. - [all laughing]
- Okay? - [all laughing]
- I seen his car dip... No, I really didn't. - [all laughing]
- You shake this car, let go of the button, never saw it. - No, I can't say that.
Hey, no. He was 100% out on me pretty much the whole pass.
- He left on you, to the very end. - Till the end.
I know I got him.
- [laughing] - I know.
- Shawn, I know I got you. - [Murder Nova] Okay.
- [both laughing] - Okay.
Hey, you might have.
All I know is a [bleep] great race.
- It's gonna be [bleep] close. - Every time I race you.
It gonna be a [bleep] big win, for sure.
What's the official call?
[Boosted GT on radio] Right lane by a nose, right lane by a nose.
- Whoo! - Right lane?
- Damn! - Right lane by a nose?
Damn.
Yeah, yeah.
- It is what it is. - All right. Good job, man.
Yeah. What are you gonna do?
Good job, Jeff.
- Thanks, buddy. - [Chuck] No problem.
- Yeah, I guess you don't have to rerun him. - [Jeff laughing]
- You. - [both laugh]
- You always get me started, Chuck. - [Chuck laughs]
[Murder Nova] I didn't cut the light that I wanted against Lutz.
We left pretty close together.
My car didn't shake.
And I feel like I came around him at the end.
Unfortunately, I didn't.
It is what it is, and I'm sitting at 0-4.
So, at this point, I don't know how to go faster.
If you don't know how to go fast, you can't go fast.
I literally have the fastest tune-up in the car that I've ever been.
And I'm making changes to it.
I am putting more boost in it.
And we've made all those chassis changes.
I'm probably going faster out here that I've ever been.
And these guys are still just...
They're fast.
And, and every season it gets faster.
[engine revving]
- Damn. - Oh, my God. He just rolled the [bleep] out of his car.
- [bleep], ugh. - [woman] Where's the [bleep] he moving?
All right. Who is leading in our tally marks so far?
- Ryan, you are 4-0, huh? - 4-0.
- Yeah, nice job. - Thank you, thank you.
- Monza, you? - Monza also 4-0.
Ooh, hey. Everybody clap for Monza.
My bad, I was gonna say, "When did Monza lose that I didn't see?"
Making it weird on the guys who went last time, huh?
- Yup. Trying. - There you go.
Who is second then? What would be second?
- [Big Chief] Be a... - I'm like 3-1.
- 3-1? - I'm 3-1.
3-1? Oh, there you go, Chuck.
- Good job, Chuck. - [Big Chief] Good job for all of you.
[Murder Nova] Weird.
Until you get to, you know, a least 0 for... And then no claps.
I, I really appreciate if you guys hold y'all's claps.
I'd be cool if you didn't clap for 1 and anything either.
Okay, okay.
Uh, who's the 2-2's?
Those are the guys we're really worried about, 2-2's.
Yeah.
- [Big Chief] Who's our 1 and anything? - 1-3's.
1-3's.
It's only third race night though, baby.
- That's right. - You got this. Hey.
And as usual, [bleep] tally marks don't reflect your passes.
That's right, I agree with that.
- 0-4's. - [Big Chief] 0-4's.
Got 'em right where you want them, guys.
- [laughing] - [Big Chief] You got them right where you want them.
They're never gonna see that one coming.
- Hey, I tell you what. They some fast [bleep] 0-4's. - [Big Chief] They are.
I'm getting in there early. I always get in there late...
Changing your strategy.
Oh, I got two. Should I take two?
Jeez. Yeah, hand me one.
Is there a bad one?
All right. Who's got the No. 1 chip?
- Of course, you do. - Oh, [bleep]
- Of course you do. - That's good.
- Who's on it? - Five.
Ooh, damn.
- Sorry, homie. Sorry. - What are you gonna do, man. What are you gonna do?
[Chuck] Damn.
- Who's got the No. 2 chip? - That'd be me.
- I think that says Damon. - It says, "Damn."
- Damn. - Hot Damon. No. 2.
Three's. I got the three, sorry.
I got Monza. Me and you again, pal.
And I'll give you your [bleep] lane.
Okay, four.
- That'll be me. - Who you dragging into this deal?
Hey, guys. This is gonna be the big one.
- Damn it. - Oh, it's gonna be big.
- Five. - That'd be me and Chuck.
- [Big Chief] Ooh. - [Chuck] Yes!
Why you say... You're not supposed to say, "Yes," when you get Shawn.
I wanna race Shawn. I haven't raced Shawn this season.
- It's nothing. - Yeah, that's why.
I'll trade him for Monza.
Why you want his car so bad?
- I just want to race him! He's 4-0. - That's true, he is.
I, I just wanna race fast guys.
- We're all fast, but... - I don't.
I just wanna pick on Monza.
Six. We already do six?
- No. - Uh-oh. Who's he drawing in?
- Oh, yeah. - [bleep].
All right, guys. Let's get this rolling, guys! All right, sevens.
Me and Dom.
There's a barn burner for you. Have you raced Damon before?
He was the reason...
- He was the reason you didn't go? - That I didn't go.
But he didn't go either. So not really.
- Like, nail in the coffin, type thing? - Yeah.
- But he... - Tin-tin-tin.
Damn. Oh, you put the [bleep] nail...
Yeah, he put the nail in the coffin.
- Man. Okay. So you've got some redemption here. - Yeah.
All right. Eight, right?
Yes. [bleep] yes.
[laughing]
Hey, guess what, guys?
Somebody ain't gonna be 4-0.
- I knew that was gonna happen. - [laughing] Oh!
By the end of this deal, one of those two ain't gonna [bleep] be with 0.
- Yeah, I like that. - [Big Chief] But hey.
[bleep] Yeah. Let me get some. Let me get some.
Let me get some.
I'll take it. Yeah, come on.
[all laughing]
All right. Nine.
Battle of the short guys.
- Lutz. - Oh.
[bleep]
- He called you short. - That's all right.
- Justin looks around like, "Who's he talking about?" - Yeah, I...
- [Damon] He looked right over Lutz. - Oh, yeah.
[all laughing]
- Touche. - Wow.
He's like, "I ain't being the butt of no more jokes."
Yeah, who's racing first?
- Me and Shawn. - Shawn.
What lane are you gonna give him, Ryan?
- What lane do you want? - I know which lane you don't want.
I...
Which one does he not want?
Maybe I don't want that one either. Which one does he not want?
He wants this one.
Which is the same lane that everybody [bleep] wants.
- Really? I don't think so. - I never run it.
What were you in last time?
I was left, you were right. Yeah.
I'll take that one.
- You want the right lane? - Yeah.
I mean, we can flip. And if I win, I'll take that lane.
And if you win, you can take this one.
I'll [bleep] flip for it.
If you flip, you pick where the [bleep] you are, right?
That's what I'm saying.
Who's calling it?
I called it last time.
He did call it last time. I'll call it.
Tell him you'll call it.
- I'mma call it. - [all laughing]
If, hey! If that's what you wanna do.
Oh, my God. Here we go.
- Tails! - Yeah, he called it.
- It's tails. - It's tails.
I don't have to pick. Yes.
- I'll take the right. - You [bleep] idiot.
You [bleep] idiot! All that...
They're just trying to get Dave his new transmission.
[all laughing]
[Ryan] So this is the third night I draw Shawn.
And Shawn's car, while he is 0-4 and I'm 4-0,
he's still been making good, solid passes.
- [engine revving] - Okay.
- Don't get it too hot. - I got you. I got you.
I cannot take Shawn lightly. Nobody can that's here. And we all know that.
[Ryan] No. Not loaded in.
And so, I'm gonna crank this thing up pretty good.
Uh, being 4-0 is a pretty good spot.
I feel like I need to test for some of the other faster guys.
I know I've got Chief coming down, I'm probably gonna draw him eventually.
I know I'm gonna have to race Daddy Dave again.
And everybody's got some data now.
So, I'm gonna swing at it for this one.
And just see what this car will do,
and how fast this thing will go down this road.
- We gotta try something against Ryan, right? - Yeah.
Okay.
We're out here on the third race night of the season,
and I'm still trying to figure out how to get some wins.
Look at the difference between how far it [bleep] way over here.
You know what I mean?
So I'm not even real sure if we can go off the quarter second.
[Murder Nova] We seem to have fixed our tire shake issue.
You want me to bump it up?
Nah, [bleep] that.
Let me bump it up.
But instead of getting our first win,
we lost to Lutz.
By a bumper.
So, I gotta try a few things tonight.
Get the best tune-up I can. And hopefully I can get a win.
Both guys that are [bleep] at the top of this bill.
Like Chuck's 3-1, Ryan's 4-0.
But unfortunately, I drew the fastest guy on the property tonight.
Ugh. And it sucks, man. 'Cause it's not like we're making bad passes.
No, that one was fast.
The last two has been good. It's just...
- And the one... - Everybody out here can just turn it up,
and let it [bleep] be. And they're all faster than us.
- Is he getting in already? - Yeah, he's driving in.
Oh, [bleep].
Can I see how the fast guys do it?
[Ryan] I don't know. You might see me spin the tires here in just a minute.
- Really? - [Ryan] I'm [bleep] going for it.
- You spin the tires? I haven't seen that yet. - [Ryan] I know, but...
[Ryan] I'm putting some really hot [bleep] in it
because I'm wanna know if it'll take it.
I'll see you out there, man. Good luck.
[Ryan] All right, brother. Thank you.
[engine starts]
[Ryan] Everything is going good right now, both inside the car and out of it.
But that all hinges on how well I do here on the street.
Sometimes when you win a couple of races in a row, you think "Hey, I got this."
But it made me remember there's only two of us left that are undefeated.
So, I have zero room for error.
[woman speaking]
[engine starts]
Wake up!
Scared the [bleep] out of [bleep]. I thought I got hit by a train.
[Big Chief] So loud.
You ready? Are you ready?
[starting gun fires]
Whoo.
[bleep] Shawn, why is he running out so far?
That was fast as [bleep].
Ooh, that ProCharger bad [bleep].
What's the call?
[Boosted GT on radio] Left lane by a car.
Left lane by a car.
[Big Chief] Left lane by a car.
Hey, giving him hell.
- That was fast. [bleep]. - What are you gonna do?
Holy [bleep], was that fast.
Dave you're gonna have to beat that guy somehow.
For everybody.
[Ryan] I was able to pull the win off against Shawn.
I'm 5-0.
And, and of course I love it.
Uh, the car's performing better than I ever imagined that it probably would.
Uh, it made a pretty fast pass.
I had a lot of jaws dropping when I drove back by.
And so that's kinda how you, you can always look at your buddies
and tell how fast your car went.
'Cause they're all going like "Wow," or "Eh, it's a good job."
But that, that everybody's kinda "Wow", so.
I'm pretty stoked about it.
I feel like I got a good car out here,
I feel like it's gonna be tough to beat,
and I feel like it can get faster.
[Murder Nova] Unfortunately, I'm doing everything I can possibly do with this car,
making good passes, just still getting outran.
Chief bangs the light.
The car went right down through there,
it did everything I asked of it.
Unfortunately so did Ryan's car, and it's just not enough.
I thought by putting some of the most powerful tune-ups
I've ever used in this car, it would help.
And the car's very, very consistent.
- Yeah. - And fast.
- That's a good pass. - [bleep] there, just...
Yeah.
I won a lot of big races in my day.
[indistinct shouting]
- [man 1] Oh! - [man 2] Take that money and go north.
Oh, yeah. I'm in.
[Murder Nova] Whether I was racing on the lists...
I'm gonna wear Doc out.
[laughing] I know.
[starting gun fires]
Shawn by 4-5!
- [man 1] That's that number one right there, baby. - [man 2] Whoo!
That's just rolling!
[Murder Nova] We're representing the 405 out of town.
This is gonna be a good one.
[man 1] I'm loving that Texas cash!
[man 2] There, that bitch was on a mission, baby.
It's coming down to JJ or Murder Nova!
[Murder Nova] And most of them came from behind the wheel of the OG Murder Nova.
[man in crowd] Oh, my God!
Holy [bleep]!
[man in crowd 2] Denied!
[Murder Nova] I was the one no one wanted to race.
And I know I can still be that guy.
But I've got to go back to the drawing board to find a way to get there.
- What day is it, Murder Nova? - Tuesday?
- [bleep] payday. - Oh.
- All right, here. - [crowd laughing]
- [woman in crowd cheering] - [bleeping]
I'm very happy with how the car's doing this year.
It, it's consistent, it's fast,
it's just not enough to outrun some of these other cars, especially Ryan Martin.
In the meantime, I need to lift up this team up as a whole.
So that's what I'm gonna do.
You don't do [bleep], man. That's everything I could possibly [bleep] do...
[man] Yeah.
- With this car. - Yeah.
Well.
- [Javier Canales] 5-0? - 5-0, baby.
It took it. I didn't, I was nervous it wasn't gonna take that.
Everybody asked and I was like, "Well, he just swings for it."
- Uh, did it look like it picked up down low? - Yeah. We'll see the video--
- Yeah, I would-- - Find the really far marks,
and rode, and rode, and rode both of them for a little bit,
and then it rode the right one for a ways.
- Yeah. - So I'm thinking--
It felt better but it was so hard,
it was frickin' hard to tell, you know what I mean?
- You ever see John? - No.
- Was that, well, what was the call? - A car length.
Yeah, I never saw him, I don't, it,
we didn't really talk at the end
'cause he went way far at the end, so I don't know if he's...
I hate to do that to him. [sighs]
[bleep]. Uh, it shook and was spinning pretty good out back.
Like, in high gear. It might've been,
it was probably when it shifted to second, to be honest with you.
- Not bad. - Yeah, not bad, huh. It was better out of the hole.
[Jackie] Yo. Hello.
What's that? Did you do all this?
- No. - You didn't? You did.
- [laughs] I didn't. - Oh. So Javi messed up.
- I haven't done anything. - Okay, [bleep].
- I mean, I helped you when you got back. - Here, I'll let you finish.
I got that one and I got the front. Um, I think we're good.
[Jackie] Sweet.
Who are you racing?
Uh, Don, uh, Damien. Damon?
- [laughs] - Damon, whatever.
- Dante, whatever. - [giggles]
- Dante? - Dante.
- Yup. I got left lane, so. - Sweet.
- You turn it up a little bit? - Yeah, just a tick, out of the, out of, uh...
- in the middle there. - Yeah.
[Jeff Lutz] So for the next one I drew Damon.
So every pass he's made looks super good
and it's getting faster, and that makes him super dangerous.
[Jackie] You want a 6-0 again, right?
- Yeah. - Okay.
- What did you set that front at? 30? - That's good, yeah.
Okay.
- [Jeff] All right, got it. - Sweet.
[Jeff] So I turned it up on this one and if I do it right,
I'm gonna stay in front of him and we'll get a win.
What do you think, Jackie? Roll up?
Um.
He's not in his car yet.
- Oh, he's not? Okay. - No.
- [bleep] it, roll up there. - Okay. All right.
- Good luck, Jeff. - Thank you.
[engine starts]
Man, I, I mean, I don't want to just give it all to get it out back.
- Out back's what were... - No, no.
Oh.
Did you put a degree in the back?
From our last pass?
[sniffs and clears throat]
I'm just saying get meaner with the down low.
I'd loosen it up just a touch,
especially if we're going down on RPM.
- Does that make sense? - I'm, I'm--
Do you agree with that?
No, I need you to agree with me. [laughs]
Yeah. Uh-huh.
Right.
[Damon] Got down to the driver's meeting and Lutz pulled us number two,
so we're going to have to turn the car around pretty quickly.
And I'm pretty excited about that race.
I've never got to race him before, like in Nebraska.
He's been great to us, he's a good dude.
I just wanna see how our car pairs up with his.
So from what we used the other night, like, this is kind of a step-up.
So we'll take the data from earlier, uh,
work on it a little bit, and I gotta get a win here.
More passes we make, more data we get,
and the better we're gonna get, so.
I mean, he just better not come out there and,
think this is gonna be a gimme 'cause we're 0-4 at the moment.
So.
But never raced him before, so we're about to find out.
[engine revving]
[Lutz] Look, my car is running on point this year.
I've got two wins under my belt.
I absolutely need to make a run for the top.
I don't wanna just make America's List.
I wanna go as a serious contender to win it all.
[Damon] Jeff's car got methane on my ear.
I don't like it.
[engines revving]
[starting gun fires]
[man] No, no, no!
[car screeching]
[man 1] No, no, no [bleep]!
[bleep]
[man 2] Oh, my God. No!
- [man 2] [bleep] no! - [man 3] Damn it!
[bleep]
[Big Chief] Oh, no.
- [man 1] Damn. - [Big Chief] Oh, my God.
[Big Chief] Lutz is [bleep]
He just rolled the [bleep] out of his car...
-[Big Chief] ...on the big 'un -[man 1] That's a bad one.
[bleep]
- [Big Chief] Damn. - [man 1] Look out, guys.
[Big Chief] [bleep] damn it.
He [bleep] went off there deep, too.
[man 1] Oh, this is a [bleep] one.
[Big Chief] Damn it, Jeff.
That was bad.
Oh, I needed that.
Oh, no.
What's wrong? What's wrong? What's wrong?
[bleep] Damn it.
Jeff, ugh!
It's not good.
[man 1] Oh, [bleep].
[bleep]
[Lutz] Ah, [bleep].
[Big Chief] As soon as he went to the finish line,
it made a right-hand turn.
- [medic 1] Anybody heard anything? Is he okay? - [Lutz] Oh, man.
[man 1] Yeah, [bleep]
- [medic 1] Hurtin' pretty much everywhere? - [Lutz] All over.
[medic 1] Okay.
[Lutz] Can't breathe.
[man 1] [bleep]
[medic 1] Okay. You hold still.
-[Lutz moans] -[man 2] Don't move. Don't move.
[Lutz moans]
- [Lutz grimaces] - [man 2] Don't move, don't move, Jeff.
[Lutz grimaces]
- [medic 1] Keep your head still. - [man 2] We're here, buddy.
[bleep]
- [Lutz] I can't breathe. - [man 3] Is he out?
[medic 1] Just take yours, just try to.
- [man 1] Did you call out? - [man 2] You all right, Jeff?
[bleep]
- [man 1] Huh, baby? - [man 2] Give him a second.
[man 2] Oh, my God.
- [Lutz grimaces] - [woman] Jeff.
- [medic 1] Don't put the... Just give him a second. - [man 3] Keep still.
[woman] Are you okay?
[Lutz] No. [grimaces]
Oh, [bleep].
[Lutz grimaces]
- [woman] Hey. - [man 1] Would y'all hurry up?
[man 1] [bleep]
- [man 2] Can you [bleep] up there? - [woman] Can you feel this?
[bleep]
- [woman] Stay still. - [Lutz grimaces]
[medic 1] Don't move.
[man 1] Oh, [bleep]
[woman] Just stay there.
[Lutz] Holy, [bleep].
[woman] Let him out.
[man 1] The thing is his helmet.
[medic 2] Don't worry, guys.
- [medic 1] We're gonna have to make some room. - [Lutz moans]
- [medic 1] We need to get the stretcher in here. - [bleep]
[woman] Jeff, don't move. Keep your arms up.
[man 1] Oh, they got the stretcher. What the [bleep].
- [medic 2] Lay still. - [man 2] Oh, my God.
[man 2] Oh, my God.
[bleep]
[Big Chief] No matter how many times you go through this,
it never prepares you for it.
The last thing any of us wanna see
is any of the boys laying on the ground
being taken out on a stretcher by the EMS.
- [Big Chief] Jeff, you know where you're at? - [Lutz] Yeah.
[Lutz moans in pain]
[man] [bleep]
- [medic 1] Give me your name, Jeff. - Jeff.
- [medic 1] Jeff, what? - [Lutz] Lutz.
[medic 1] Where are you hurting?
[Lutz exhales]
[Lutz] From my neck down to my ass.
- [Lutz grimaces] - [medic 2] Now, easy guys, please.
- [medic 1] You're good. - [man] [bleep]
- [bleep] Yes. - [Lutz grimaces]
[bleep]
[medic 1] Can you... once more?
[Lutz] Oh, [bleep].
- [Lutz grimaces] - If it hurts, you have to tell him.
[sniffles]
[Big Chief] Look, he drove it. [bleep]
Jeff and I have been practically inseparable since Nebraska.
And every bolt that's been changed on The Crow,
Jeff has been involved.
[Big Chief] Oh, my God.
- [medic 2] Okay. - [Lutz grimaces]
Every tune that went in the 57 was put there by me, including the pass tonight.
[man 1] Hey, is he good?
[sniffles]
[Big Chief cries]
[bleep]
[sniffles]
[Big Chief] I know anything can happen in street racing.
But it never gets easier to watch.
[indistinct chatter]
[man 2] [bleep]
- [medic 1] Get it out. - [medic 2] We'll try to get your HANS off.
[bleep]
He's [bleep] up.
[Damon] So, we're up against Lutz here...
Uh...
Chief brings us in,
and, we, uh...
And it's a drag race.
We're side by side and he just disappears.
I didn't know exactly what may have happened.
Didn't know if he...
hit the curb or what.
Um...
[clears throat]
It was just rough to see that.
[medic 1] One, two, three, roll.
[Lutz grimaces]
[man] [bleep]
[medic 1] Okay?
[medic 2] I think he's gonna roll backwards.
[medic 1] One, two, three.
[Lutz grimaces]
[medic 1] Excellent, excellent, guys.
Excellent.
[Damon] I watched, uh, Doc wreck in Nebraska.
I watched Kamikaze wreck, and it's just, it's, it's like
the more I got to know these guys...
[clears throat] And they've been, uh...
The harder it is to kind of see them out there like that.
[indistinct chatter]
[medic 1] Lift on three.
One, two, three.
Up.
[Big Chief crying]
[crying] Is he okay or what?
[indistinct radio chatter]
[Ryan Martin] Do you... Jeff, do you want us to call your...
[Ryan]... you want me to call your wife?
- [Lutz] Yeah. - [indistinct chatter]
- Jeff. Okay?
I'm gonna tell... as soon as I find somebody, I'll call 'em and tell 'em, all right?
I'm gonna drive your truck home, I'll get everything home, all right?
I got you, brother.
This is all we know. Ride or die street racing.
And we know what we signed up to do
every time we make a pass.
But the thing is, the older you get,
you never really know which race may be your last.
- Okay. - You're not gonna hurt it.
No, you ain't saving that [bleep] thing.
[Big Chief] Give me a cigarette [bleep].
- This is probably, what, 10 years now. - This is what's gonna make...
Ten years now, me and you after [bleep]
- Smoking cigarettes together. - After a crash like this,
I always find you and we smoke a [bleep] cigarette.
I think I'll have one with you, buddy.
[bleep] Gimme one.
[Chuck] Yeah, that's good enough.
Anything we can get it on a wrecker.
I think we can... they got... they got a flatbed coming.
[Chuck] Yeah, unfortunately, this car's done.
He... he bent the steering wheel and stuff, but hey, look, I mean...
- He wrecked it up good. - Where he's at, he's perfect.
- That's why it did what it's supposed to do. - And he dumped the chutes.
[Chuck] For a sec, I was like, where the [bleep] did the motor go?
It's underneath.
Obviously, all we're worried about is if Jeff is safe.
Obviously he had to be taken to the hospital, but this race night is over.
The road is covered in mud.
So we're gonna have to come back another night and see if we can get this done.
But right now, all we're worried about is making sure Jeff is safe,
getting his car back to his shop,
and then, uh, we can race another day.
[Big Chief] [bleeping]
[Big Chief] Coming up...
Ah [bleep]
[Big Chief] In the wake of a terrible wreck...
[Christine Lutz] Oh, my God.
[Big Chief] ...everything we know comes into question.
We built a good car.
[crying]
- [Lutz] We can do it again. - [Christine] How about if we just built a cruiser?
What, stop racing?
[Big Chief] In our many years racing on the streets,
damn near each one of us has had a brush with death.
- [man] [bleep] that was bad. - [siren wailing]
[man] Are you okay?
[Big Chief] But each time, we've come out the other side a stronger person.
- You all right? - Yeah.
[Big Chief] And we all bond a little bit more.
You okay?
- Yeah. - [bleep] all over your face.
That was gonna... it was... it was definitely...
after that first, it was a "Close your eyes and hold on" ride right there.
[Big Chief] Those of us who drive these cars are a special breed of human.
- [medic] Can you tell me if anything hurts? - [driver] Nothing hurts.
[Big Chief] And it takes an awful lot to keep us down.
I'm all right, you're all right. We're standing up here. All right?
Doing [bleep] we love, right?
- [all exclaiming] - Holy [bleep].
[man] Oh, no!
[driver] That was a hell of a ride.
- [imitates barking] - Okay.
- Are you polishing or what's going on there? - [imitates barking]
Okay, we're gonna put this on.
[imitates barking]
- [Javier Canales] Come on. - [Ryan] Okay, come here.
I'mma let you sit in the car.
- [laughing] - Okay. Got the steering wheel on?
- Yeah. - Okay.
- [Ryan] Okay. - [Javier] Easy on the buttons.
[Ryan] Uh, if you tell him that, he's gonna hit 'em.
That's why I don't tell him that. [laughing]
Obviously, we're all a little shaken up after watching Jeff wreck the other night,
but I'll tell you what.
Since it happened, I've been keeping my family a lot closer to me lately.
It really puts it in perspective on how important things are outside of racing.
Okay, so...
so Jeff got out of the hospital today.
Yeah. You were like the first one there, weren't you?
- Yeah, from race night, you took the truck, trailer home. - Yeah.
And Doc took me over to go see Jeff. And...
I knew like, Chris, his wife wasn't here.
She was back at home in Pennsylvania.
- Oh, Jeffrey wasn't there. - Jeffrey wasn't there. Nobody was there.
- Yeah. - Right?
- I was the one... - He had... he had you and Jackie basically helping.
- That was his crew people. - Crew. Yeah.
So nobody was there for him. Like, I didn't know how bad it was.
- It looked bad. - It looked terrible.
I didn't want him to get out of the hospital and him have nobody.
Jeff and I in the last, what, I don't know, three or four years,
have gotten real close, you know, and I don't know, it just hit me hard
when I saw him sitting there laying in the street
and screaming and, you know, and...
and I don't know how bad... I don't know if his back's broke, his neck's broke.
- Yeah. - That was the things that went through my head.
But at least when they said no broken bones,
I was able to call Chris and tell her that he didn't have any broken bones.
- And I... and I know that she wanted to hear that. You know? - Yeah.
I'll be really curious to see what Jeff decides to do moving forward.
He's a car builder by trade, so I'm sure he has other cars to work with.
But I don't know where he's gonna be at mentally
and how quickly he's gonna be ready to get back in the hot rod this season.
Which is a damn shame,
because I know how bad he wanted to go to America's List.
- But he's out of the hospital today. - That's good.
Uh, it's amazing how bad the crash was,
- And he... - And he's basically...
- No broken bones? [laughing] - No broken bones.
- So... - He was in... I mean, I know Jeff's...
- Jeff's no wuss, and he was in severe pain. - Yeah.
- I mean, other than strained muscles and... and... - Sore as [bleep], yeah.
- Sore. You know, you could see where his HANS was on him. - Yeah. Yeah.
Like, the HANS was traced around his whole neck and everything.
And he's bruised up really bad. Looks like he's had his ass kicked.
Looks like he was in a really bad bar fight.
- [exclaiming] - And he got the bad end of it.
- Yeah. - But look, for what he went through,
bouncing down the street at 160 mile an hour,
that's the best case scenario you could get.
- Yeah, to walk away, you know what I mean? - Yeah.
- Well, he didn't really walk away, but now he's walking. - Definitely didn't walk away.
- Mm-hmm. - He took a helicopter flight somewhere and then,
- and then got to walk out of the hospital. - Well, that's good, so...
He gonna get back on... in a race car again?
He ain't gonna... you know that car's done.
- Yeah, I would... I would think so after looking at it. - So...
But Jeff's got a couple cars, but the question is,
- does he get... is he done completely? - Yeah.
- You know, like... - Or how fast does he come back?
You don't know how... you don't know how Christine feels about it.
- You know, like... - Yeah.
- Does she support him coming right back or does she not? - Yeah.
Your family has to help you make that decision
on whether you come back and put yourself at risk
- like we all know we do every time. - Yeah.
It kinda makes you wonder
just how the whole aura of the whole night will be when...
- Yeah, next race night? - The next race night coming back after Jeff.
Yeah.
I guess we'll just have to show up and see
- what it's like, right? - Yeah.
Check out your new steering wheel emblem we put on there.
- Oh, yeah? Oh, I got extra stuff on my steering wheel? - [laughing]
What do you got in here?
Oh. [laughing] What is that?
That's your little slap bracelet?
Dad's gonna drive with that on his steering wheel?
- [all laughing] - [Javier] He said no.
Okay, do you wanna go ride your bike?
Okay. We're gonna go ride the bicycle. Come on, bub.
I can hold this.
- Lemme hold you and lemme hold this. - Where'd you get that from?
[Ryan, laughing] On a work table?
[laughing] Okay, what... what... what... what is that?
Yeah, yeah, he's got a mouse tail. He's got a mouse tail. [laughing]
- Okay. - It's gotta go to something.
All right, let's go get your bicycle.
I don't... why I gotta hold all this stuff?
Oh, you can't ride with all the stuff in your hand. Okay.
[chuckles]
[Christine] I don't know if I'm ready for this.
- [Lutz] You gonna make it? - [Christine] I'm gonna make it.
[both laughing]
[Lutz] I haven't seen it, so.
- [exclaiming] - [bleep]
Oh, [bleep]
[Christine sighing]
[Christine] Oh, my God.
[Lutz] To see the car in the shape that it's in is just, uh...
The first thing comes to mind is that it saved my life.
It did its job, you know?
But then, the emotion sets in that all the blood, sweat and tears
- that we put into that car... - [crying]
[Christine] Oh, [bleep].
[Lutz] And my wife, you know, she's crying.
And the picture of my dad's in there.
My dad died five years ago and I lost my mom just a little bit ago, and...
[Christine exhales]
[crying] Oh, God, Jeff.
We're so lucky. [crying]
[Lutz] And to walk away from an accident like that
with just bumps and bruises is pretty damn lucky,
and I... I feel pretty damn lucky.
I remember racing him.
And I hit the bump towards the finish line,
and it threw me right.
- [tires screeching] - [indistinct shouting]
And I woke up upside-down.
And I remember turning the cam lock on my seat belts,
I hit the roof.
- [groaning] - [door unlatching]
I don't know how I got out, but I crawled out.
[Chuck over walkie] Lutz is out of the car.
[Lutz] I heard everybody yelling and screaming,
and they were trying to get my helmet off, but I don't remember seeing one face.
- This cage saved your life. - [sighing]
Apparently, they put me in a helicopter and flew me to Tulsa,
and I woke up, and you know who was standing there? Ryan.
Oh, my God. There's nothing left.
Ryan's my best friend. You know, to wake up and have him standing there,
you know, it was just, uh, it was heartfelt.
I don't... I don't remember any of this.
This is insane.
Ryan had told me that Doc was there as well.
We're like one big family out here.
And everybody from the 405 was messaging me.
You know, my phone, I still can't keep up.
I don't know what we're gonna do, here.
I can't fix this. [sniffling]
I've crashed this car before, but nothing like this.
Losing the car, that's material things.
You know, that car's a tool.
It's a tool I use to do my job.
And you know, tools can be replaced, but friends, they can't.
And that'll stick with me for the rest of my life.
I don't even know how you come back from something like this.
Oh, my God.
Everybody's so fast now.
I know everybody out there says,
"Oh, we're as fast as the Street Outlaws."
They have no idea how fast we're going on that road we're on.
The faster we go, the more danger there is.
And it just... it keeps escalating and escalating.
And now that the America's List is on the line,
it is, uh, just a greater pressure on everybody.
And you know...
[Christine crying]
[Lutz] I never thought about, you know, almost losing my life that night.
We built a good car.
- We can do it again. - Yeah.
How about if we just built a cruiser?
What, and stop racing?
[laughing] What, are you crazy?
- [both laughing] - I'm not gonna stop racing.
- You always make me laugh. - [both laughing]
I can't stop. I mean...
I picture you in a convertible.
No, you don't. [laughing]
No, you don't. There's no way.
If I'm in a convertible, I gave up.
- And you know me. I don't give up. - I know.
- Wow. - We'll figure something out.
I'll do what I have to do. This is... this is our livelihood. I mean,
it's crazy to say it, but I race a car for a living.
We're in this deep, and it's tough.
Because there's no fixing that car.
The only choice I have is,
I have my brand new No Prep car,
and you know, I'm gonna have to call Chief and see what he thinks,
and it... it should fit the rules.
I mean, the rules that we have are steel roof and corners,
and that car is there, so um,
It's gonna take a little work.
But I'll jump in it.
I don't... I'm not afraid.
Like I said, this is my job.
And I need to do my job.
I don't think it'll be, you know,
a popular opinion of anybody that we're racing,
but, uh, it's all I got.
And if they don't like it, tough [bleep]
'cause I'm gonna bring it and they're gonna have to like it. So...
Ready or not, here we come.
[Big Chief] Next time on Street Outlaws...
- He said [bleep] that transmission. - That's what I say. [laughing]
[Big Chief] In the heat of battle...
If I make a decision for you, I'm screwing you,
and if I make a decision for you, I'm screwing you.
This is [bleep] up, Jon, I worked my ass off.
[Big Chief] Team 405 might just crumble.
Bull [bleep], Brandon.
