[Chief reading]
- I know what you're doing here. - Yeah.
But what are you doing, bro?
This is more of a quest of my own. I need to get down this street.
[engine rumbling]
- [gunshot] - [engines roaring]
He just kicked that road's ass.
If us turbo guys got a [bleep] horse, it's this one, baby.
- [laughing] - That thing is [bleep] bad.
- What's up, buddy? - You slammed the door, man.
What? I'm used to it.
- What are you doing? - Nothing.
- See what you were doing? - I'm... Nothing. Like, trying to get this thing out of here.
- [sighs] - I don't know. Thinking about this weekend.
- [laughs] What about it? - I don't know.
- Racing. - I'll jump on board, man.
- What... What are you thinking about? - Yeah?
- You got to love the road out there, right? - Yeah.
- You're glad we're on that road out there, right? - 100%.
- Attaboy. I love it too. - Yeah.
Coming into the sixth race night of the season,
I feel pretty confident I've secured my spot to go back to America's List.
- I'm 6-2 right now and... - Uh-huh.
- Ryan hasn't lost one. - Oh, yeah.
- [Chuck] Which lane you taking? - I'm gonna take this one.
Shawn's fixing to hit that Hail Mary just [clicks tongue]
[Dave] But with how competitive I am, I'm gonna take it easy.
Chief is sitting at the number five spot right now with a 3-3 record.
With only two race nights left, any of the bottom five guys
could make a run to the top and knock Chief out of the fifth spot.
I'm glad I made the switch to ProCharger and everything's working great,
but not gonna have Wheeler with me this weekend.
- [laughs] - Why are you laughing?
I... Nothing. Nothing, no 'cause...
'Cause I know that having a good crew guy means a lot.
- Like, it's a lot. - Yeah.
- Like I don't want... Yeah, no. - 'Cause what do you do?
Like, if I didn't have Phantom around, I don't know.
Anybody out there can line you up.
Anybody out there can pour your... Your juice for you.
Yeah, or they can line you up crooked.
100%. Me, Phantom, Javi, you know.
We'll jump up there and help you line up whenever.
But I'm not gonna go over and cool your car off after you make a pass.
- Yeah, no. - You know what I mean?
So, that's why we depend on these crew guys so much.
I just tried to go over my head everything that Wheeler does
between rounds and I know I got to do that.
- Yeah, but that's the fact is you don't know. Yeah. - I really don't.
- Like, I don't know what all Phantom does. - I know what needs to be done.
- No, I got a general idea of... - [Dave laughs]
Of what I would do if I had to get my car ready in between rounds
or to go race somebody.
Especially in something... Look, man. This means a lot to us.
- Like, if we don't make this, we're out. - Yeah.
I... I laugh and say I haven't won any races.
I'm not cool with it. You know what I mean?
Right now, I'm sitting at 0-8. We have two race nights left.
That will give me an opportunity
to win four races and put me at 4-8.
If I'm able to do that and a couple of guys above me lose,
there's still a chance I might be able to make it in the top five.
I got myself in this situation and I've just got to ride it out now, you know.
You will. You always do.
[Nova] It's tough not to hold out some hope.
America's List is the best of the best and that's what I've been my entire career.
If I don't make it on this list,
it's gonna be a major blow to me and who I am as a racer.
Like, I've lost some real close ones this season.
Except Ryan. I just lost.
It wasn't a... It wasn't really a close one.
- It wasn't so close. - Yeah. I mean, what do you do in the car?
When Ryan's outrunning you in the car, what do you do?
Especially when you're on a good pass.
- That's gonna take a hell of a car to beat him. - No doubt. No doubt.
- Okay. I'm gonna go get my [bleep] ready. - All right.
- I'll see ya out there. - All right, buddy.
[Jackie] So does this mean that the wing is staying?
[Chief] The wing is definitely staying.
Do you have it? Ah.
What are you doing?
Well, if you think about it, okay.
Since we put the wing on, the car is going down and it is going straighter.
And I think we can increase the angle of attack
and we can make it activate earlier.
Where now it's just trying to use this to go faster
so the middle and then maintain out the back.
After America's List, I did all this work all winter
and you know, we did a wing on the back to get more downforce.
But still yet, stuck at number five.
150 foot, there should be plenty of air going over this car to use this wing.
So when the rubber starts to go away, instead of like everybody else does.
They start pulling power out of it when it makes that transition.
If we can make this activate earlier,
we can start putting power in it at the transition.
- Nice. - Yeah.
We obviously don't want to be left out of America's List.
You know that's everything right now.
So we need to have a plan in place for what I can do to get faster
and what I can do to... To get more wins.
Woah, that might... Wow, that goes up quick.
I think we should start at 2.7.
- It wasn't even at one and you're gonna add two? No. - Exactly. Exactly.
Most people start at three.
Who's most people? Nobody has that thing.
- That's true. [laughs] - Turn it down.
Okay, we're gonna... We'll be at 2.7.
- We need a wind tunnel. Can we get a wind tunnel? - No.
- Can I get a company credit card, at least? - No.
I'm still working on the ice machine
- that you froze last winter. - [wheezing]
So, only thing I can do is try to keep optimizing my combo and make it to America's List.
But before the end of the season,
I've got a huge twist that will put the 405 to the test.
I pulled the whole motor apart again.
- Oh, good. - Band-aided it as best I can.
It ran, so hopefully we can get a few more wins in the win column.
We make it to America's List,
and then in between this and America's List,
the poor thing needs to get refreshed.
And I think next time we shouldn't go
three or four seasons before we rebuild it.
Not three or four seasons. Three or four years.
That's what I meant. What'd you say?
- Yeah. - [laughs]
[Nova] We're back on the streets of OKC
for the second to the last race night of the season
to determine who goes to represent OKC in America's Top 20.
We got three races to get done from the last race night before we draw chips.
Monza gets another crack at undefeated Ryan Martin first off the trailer.
Then, Chuck will race Jeff,
and Dominator will race Chief.
Anything can happen on these final nights on the streets,
but you can guarantee that it's gonna get intense.
[engine puttering]
Well, I don't think it is. I mean, I didn't see anything. I'm not turning it down.
[Ryan] We got cut off by curfew last night,
so Monza and I are racing first off the trailer
to make up for the race we missed.
I'm 7-0 going into this race, but Monza is not far behind me at 5-1.
I outran Monza a couple of nights ago, but if anything it gave him an idea
just what he needs to do to outrun me.
So this race is definitely not in the bag.
Dave's flipping.
[laughs]
- I don't know what that means. - I'm not sure what it means neither.
- What's up, bro? - What's happening?
How are you? You ready to [bleep] get on this road the first pair?
- He's... He's done it five times. - I know.
I was like, "You're like a veteran at this."
- You got your work cut out 'cause... - [Ryan] I know.
One time you race this car this year, this season,
you got your work cut out if you're racing that.
Yeah, but he's got some first down the road data.
- Yeah. - That don't do any good against [bleep] Ryan.
I mean [bleep] you put that [bleep] in and you'll get your ass drug.
You better [bleep] swing for it.
You are 100% correct.
[Monza] This'll be the third time we've drawn number one,
so we ought to have plenty of data for getting down this road first.
All of our number one tune-ups have been pretty conservative to make sure we go A to B.
We got Ryan first pair down, so that all goes out the window.
We fixing to turn this bitch up and swing for the fence.
Since you're on a perfect roll, we should [bleep] choice, right?
- Well, we get a car in the hit. - No, absolutely not!
Have you seen what he's been doing out here? You... Okay.
No, I'm watching his car like, leave wheels up. [imitates skidding] Yeah.
No, it's not slow. I know it's not.
- [Dave] Who's calling it? - He is.
Heads.
[Dave] Tails it is.
- [Monza] Tails it is. - Tails never fails.
[Monza] We're going over there.
[Ryan] You're going left, I'm going right. Okay.
- Yes, sir. - How long do you need?
We'll be ready when you're ready.
All I got to do is bolt the front end.
I got to change. They already got everything wrapped up.
- Okay. - Okay, good luck, guys.
All right, be safe.
-Take care -[clears throat]
- [exhaling] - Nervous?
Well [bleep] yeah.
- [all laughing] - I can tell.
[Monza] Does a bear [bleep] in the woods?
I was totally cool with those tune-ups until we got the left lane.
Now I'm like, "Man I want to change some stuff."
Baby changes. Baby steps. One thing at a time.
Whatever you're doing has been working, so why change it?
I don't know if it's fast enough to outrun Ryan,
but ain't nobody out here outrun him yet.
Now I'm nervous. We worked our ass off on this car this winter.
A big win against Ryan would prove all our hard work was worth it.
It's definitely not gonna be an easy task, but we're gonna see what happens.
It would be a big time confidence booster for this team
not only for me, but for Brandon
and that would... That would really help us out.
- Need anything, Ryan? Anything? - [Ryan] No.
[engine starts]
[engine accelerating]
[tires screech]
[engine accelerating]
[Monza] Last time we raced Ryan, we really didn't have enough power
in the car on the starting line.
So it climbed the ring gear and did a wheelie for a long way
and we don't need that to happen this time.
We need to get after it hard early and build some wheel speed.
See if we can keep the front end down,
see if we can give him a drag race.
Like, I think we're the fastest two here
and I want to show it.
Both these bitches are bad fast.
- Good luck. - You too,
- [gunshot] - [engines roaring]
[engines revving]
- [gunshot] - [engines roaring]
[bleep]
Love it. Love it.
[bleep] them ProChargers. [bleep] damn, dude.
What's the call? Nice lick.
[ma mon radio] Right lane by a car.
- A car? - Every time. A car.
- A car. - That's ol' Ryan "A car" Martin.
-[laughing] -This is [bleep] unfair. [bleep] man.
And I'm talking about you too.
- Yeah. - I'm just letting you know.
- Okay, did you get that? Okay. - Yeah.
I didn't want you to think that I'm just talking about him.
[Dave] No, no I get it.
- We're not leaving you out. - No, don't.
I want to put a ProCharger back on my car.
- Good job, Ryan. - Good job, Monza.
Good race, buddy. You make a good pass?
Yeah, I mean, I stayed on the gas. Yeah.
[Ryan] That was the fastest pass I have made.
- [Monza] Really? - [Ryan] Yeah.
I definitely stayed closer to you that time than the last race.
- [Ryan] Yeah? - It's like from 80 feet to 200,
- you pull on me and then I stay right there. - Yeah.
[Monza] And you just [bleep] 330 in like a [bleep]
I can't even believe it's taking it so.
[Ryan] I mean, look. It's 2,740 pounds
instead of 3,050 like it was last year, you know.
- I'm sitting at 3,050 right now. - Yeah, I know.
- Turbo. Gotta be turbo car stuff. - With 88's.
Yep.
To be honest with you, I think probably you and Dave's
the only ones out here that I probably can't...
And I'm not sure I can outrun Dave. Dave ain't as fast as you are.
I don't think so either, but I mean, like, he has a...
He has the same combo so you got the potential to do that.
We had the potential to go faster too,
- but we're making little bitty baby steps each pass. - For sure. Yeah.
- We're not getting stupid 'cause we're winning. - Yep.
Spun a little right here. This is where it kicked sideways a little bit.
I think everybody slides over here though.
- Huh? - [bleep] some reason everybody slides over here.
[applauding]
[Monza] Unfortunately, Ryan's win streak continues.
We did the best we could do. We hung pretty close to him for a couple hundred feet,
and then, Ryan did what he does.
We made a good pass.
Clean and we're not gonna hang our heads.
There's no shame in losing to Ryan.
I mean, there ain't anybody on this list that ain't lost to Ryan,
so we're not gonna hang our heads.
- [thudding] - You all good?
Hey, no. Yeah.
[laughing] Down low, it just wanted...
- I could see it dancing for the first time. - Yeah.
- Where'd you see that? - Ah, hell. Hell yeah.
It felt good too. It was like... It was like pulling the front wheels up.
Well, the streak continues. Hats off to Monza.
He put up a great fight. He has a really fast racecar on his hands.
After second burnout, I was a little nervous.
It was like, ah, that was kind of extra short. But I was like, [bleep] it.
- [Ryan] It looked like it moved to the center? - Just a little to the center.
- Climbed the crown a little bit. - Yeah.
Did it looked like it had a lot of wheel speed again or something?
Uh, no.
- It felt like it didn't. - Like it did or didn't?
It felt like it didn't. It felt like it was hooked up and pulling the front left.
But man, I just made one of the fastest passes I've ever made on this road
coming from first off the trailer and in the bad lane.
It's great data for me to have,
so I could not be any happier with the way this night is starting.
8-0 baby! Whoo!
- Hell yeah. - Good job.
- Who's calling it? You calling it? Ready? - Jeff.
[Jeff] Heads.
Heads. It is heads.
- [Jeff] I'm going to go down the right lane. - [Chuck] Okay.
I'm gonna change a couple things on the tune-up. I got to ice it down.
- No, no worries. Whatever you need. - Just a little bit.
- But I'll start working on it now. - All right.
[Jeff] So tonight, Chuck and I are the second pair.
This'll be my second hit on the road
in the GTO after my wreck.
First time out, it did okay.
- [gunshot] - [engines roaring]
But I was holding back.
Can't do that anymore.
- How'd it feel? - Good.
- I just... Out there, I got nervous. - Yeah.
No, I get it. Did you pull off a little?
- Oh, yeah. Way off. - I gotcha.
Yeah.
Just stick with the same program.
Pretty excited.
You know, it's pretty cool.
If the season ended right now, I wouldn't make the cut for America's List.
I got to make up ground on the guy ahead of me.
And right now, al I got is Chief and the only way to do this is win races.
[liquid splashes]
We made the adjustments we want to make, so.
Yeah, yeah. You don't want to make too many and then we added a little power.
We gave it more wheel speed with the tune-up really.
And then, I know it's just a little bit, but I want to finish this night
with a win and be 7-1.
I also don't want to be that guy
that Jeff Lutz got his first win in the GTO against Chuck.
You know? I also don't want that either, so.
I've raced Jeff before on the street, you know, in the 57.
But since that one's done, he's got his No Prep Kings car here.
So, that car is stupid fast. You know, and it's stupid light.
So does it work as good on the street? I don't know. I mean, so.
It's kind of like one of them deals
like, you can't take him lightly.
His car may be faster than Ryan's and Dave's.
You know? He's only had one pass.
And now, I'm his second pass and he learned a lot from the first pass.
So, you know.
So tonight, I get the pleasure of lining up with Jeff's brand-new car.
And I'll tell you what. The pass he made last night,
that thing is bad fast.
If he can make a full pass under power,
that thing's gonna be hard to beat.
But look, I ain't giving up now.
I've been bad fast all season, so tonight, I'm gonna step it up a notch
send Jeff Lutz packing.
You know this. You've... We've all been in the top.
- And then all of a sudden, here comes somebody else. - Yep, when you're not looking.
Somebody's gonna roll up here with a [bleep] screw blower.
- Something, something. - They're gonna smoke both of them.
Or you know, Chief will figure something out with his combo or something, you know.
- I know, but it's possible. - It is.
You cannot... You cannot...
You cannot leave any of those guys out.
[engine accelerating]
[tires screech]
[engine accelerating]
[tires screech]
- Wow! - I've been trying to lean it out,
- but I keep forgetting [bleep]. - [bleep] did that on purpose.
He did that [bleep] on purpose.
He did that just to scare the [bleep] out of me.
Nice lick, Jeffrey.
Thank you, sir.
Nice [bleep] job, baby.
- Thank you. - What's the call?
[man on radio] Right lane by car and a half.
Jeff Lutz is back, ladies and gentlemen, he is back.
What was Chuck doing? Where's he heading?
You think he crossed?
- No. - I don't think he did.
Why did it do that?
I was so focused here, never even...
I don't know what he did. What'd he do to make it move? Anybody see it?
Went over a little bit, then he came little...
It looked like it went over there.
- Although Jeff's car went... - Yes, it did, didn't it?
I couldn't tell if it was fast 'cause his wasn't doing anything.
It looked real good down low.
I can assure you it was way faster tonight than it was last night.
- In the middle, too. - In the middle, yeah.
[Chuck] They bang the light, Jeff's car takes off like a rocket.
All I see is the tail lights.
My car drives left.
I overcorrect it too hard to the right.
Jeff gets the win.
This is exactly what I didn't want to happen.
I just hope the data from this race
will help me for the next race so I can keep on winning.
Oh, [bleep]!
That wasn't the right tune up. [bleep] damn it!
[Jeff] Man, what a difference from the first to second pass,
we're more aggressive with the tune up.
And man, what a pass!
She went fast all the way through.
Down the middle, down the end, it was hauling ass.
- Oh, my God. - You're the [bleep] man, boy.
[bleep] was getting it.
I miss the '57, but if this thing gets going,
I don't know if anyone's gonna catch me.
I'm only going to get better and better with each race.
That shutdown, I pulled the chute,
[bleep] bouncing all over the place.
But it kept straight though.
Come here.
- Love you, buddy. - Love you, too.
Oh, my God! Oh, [bleep]. I needed that [bleep].
Whoo! There she is.
You killed it. You were so fast.
Thank you, Jackie.
You need help?
- Okay, you got this? - I got it.
Okay.
Yeah, I [bleep] drove hard right.
I had to slam on the brakes, keep from running into him.
I got over in his lane and I was driving around him so fast,
I had to [bleep] hit the brake step.
[bleep] damn I didn't wanna lose that.
I left when he left, and I was like,
"Man, did he jump? Or I didn't see the light."
- Yeah, it drove. It drove left big time. - It went left first.
Yeah, and I think now it has too much wheel speed because we bandaided that.
Yeah. Oh, we gotta make some changes for the next races,
but that one, we gave that one away.
Yeah, it drove left, it's still driving whatever...
Whatever's going on, it's driving left.
So that's not fixed.
[bleep] damn it!
I didn't shut it off, so it didn't record, I guess.
Mega pass and it don't even have the data.
We'll figure it out for the next one.
- Yeah. - That's all we can do.
Nice [bleep] job. Nice job. Looked amazing.
- Did it, really? - Yeah, it did.
Hey, and that's Jeffrey.
Jeffrey raised that [bleep] up like you said.
That car will take so much more.
- Just by the video after this. We'll talk. - Yep, yep.
Just by the video, we've got a lot of [bleep].
We got a lot to go.
Yep,
- Good job. - Thanks, man.
- Thank [bleep]. - Yeah, I get that.
Well, I didn't put enough power in it.
And there's a light over there. See that [bleep] light?
- Oh, yeah. - Never saw the flashlight.
I saw you [bleep] so I let go of the button.
I mean, I couldn't see. It wasn't his fault either.
When he came up with the flashlight,
I'm watching for it to come on,
I see you move out of my peripheral,
I just let go of the button. [bleep] I couldn't see it well
and then, I did put in power in it.
So it dead hooked and went a little bit left.
And then I counter steered it right, and the power came in and, like,
I was driving down the center of the road.
They said you got close to me.
- I'm like, "Oh, my God." - Not that close to you.
- I mean, yeah, from here I probably did. - From here.
And I was coming up on you
and I was like, I've crossed center.
I go, I'm gonna go and let out.
- No [bleep], you did cross. - I was behind you.
Yeah, I had one tire in your lane and one tire in my lane.
[Big Chief] Have you noticed any difference right here in the two lanes in your car?
Did you do anything RPM wise on the launch? No?
The rubber just looks better back there.
I absolutely agree.
Mine always has a little more wheel speed in this lane.
I mean, a little, you know what I mean?
- Not a lot. - But not enough to draw.
- Uh-uh. No. - Changing the launch control.
'Cause I've been going up. You know what I mean?
I've been over there the whole [bleep] time.
But I still need to... I need to go down this lane.
I need to make a trip. I need to at least attempt it. You know what I mean?
That's the way I look at it. Every time we go over here early or whatever the case is,
like, I'm always gonna pick the left,
If I got the choice, I'm always gonna go left it is what it is.
- I used to be the total opposite. - Yeah.
But I don't know.
Everything with the way my car is now,
with what the few things have changed,
it's not as hard for me to see the pillar doesn't [bleep] match.
It doesn't bug me as much to go here now.
We're flipping lanes. Switching. Good with that?
Told you I'd do it.
When I made the deal, though, I was hoping I was thinking
I was gonna get to try the right lane.
Ninth pair down, and I was gonna be [bleep] okay.
- Now that we're third pair, it's a little different. - It is a little different.
But at the same time, I'm sticking with it
because I really wanna find out what that lane's like anyway.
We are here race night six.
Chief and I have the ninth race from last race night to make up.
I raced chief first race last race night and I blew a boost clamp apart.
In all fairness to the clamp, It was just the two bolts that I didn't tighten up.
So I watched him drive away.
In Nebraska, my car was pushing [bleep] right.
Like mad. With the mickey on it, it doesn't push right.
With the [bleep] Hoosier on it, pushes me right.
I had to put a bunch of rear steering it with the Mickey.
The wheel speed, when I'm out on the pedal
doing a burnout with the Mickey...
7,500, 8,000 RPM, 200 ft.
That same throttle position with the Hoosier.
I won't make it 15 ft.
I'm not joking. I won't make it 15 ft.
So did it go today then? Good. [bleep] nice.
Man, I'm telling you, I was so...
I don't want to come out here knowing it's gonna shank.
Nice job, dog. I hope you win this thing.
I gotta be honest. I do, too.
You'll deserve it.
We have been fighting issues with the car.
We slept three hours.
We tested all day long.
I'm ready for this race.
And he's gonna be surprised.
I'm very concerned about...
the wheelie bars and the stagger in the left lane.
I just wanna make a solid pass
all the way down through there
'cause our last three have been freaking horrible.
[Chuck] You want me to tune it for you?
- [Big Chief] Yeah. Please. - I can make it go all over the road.
I usually do a pretty good job of that.
Okay.
All right. Good luck, man.
Thank you, sir.
[Nova] This is a big race for Chief.
[Big Chief] That's not the right one, is it? No.
If he loses here, he'll be three and four,
and can be passed by any of us in the bottom five.
With all of us gunning for his spot,
he can't afford to lose any races.
- Ready? - I'm ready. Let's do this.
- Good luck. Love you. - Thank you. I love you.
How are you feeling?
- I had an interesting phone call with Chief. - Okay.
We're gonna stop right now.
Man, are you messing with me?
- No. - This doesn't even sound real.
When we leave and we go as a team,
- you know, we unite. - Yep.
Kick everybody's ass.
As soon as he comes up and stops with that light we leave.
Because I did it and you, he will not leave early.
It's a steal I was just... I could have left earlier.
I mean, as soon as... Soon as he stops, they turn it on.
Good luck.
Holy [bleep].
[bleep], baby. Nice.
[bleep] lick, Dominator.
Who you got?
[man on radio] Right lane by a car.
Chief by a car.
If Dom didn't hit that curb it was [bleep] close.
Nice [bleep] job, dog.
Nice [bleep] job, man. Nice [bleep] job.
- Yeah. - [Nova] That was a helluva race.
I've honestly never seen Dominator go as fast as he did on that pass.
That's what the work is.
That's why you went to the [bleep] track.
That's why we don't get [bleep] sleep.
[Nova] We've put in so much work over the years
to make sure that this group is elite
from the bottom all the way to the top.
And this race shows that we succeeded.
Chief winning that race definitely helps his chances
of holding on to that top five spot, but nothing's secured yet.
If I went out and he loses, technically, I can catch him.
[Big Chief] Does that thing normally run 40s out here?
- No. - Huh? I didn't think so.
That's why I was like, I'm running Dom, we'll put a [bleep] 46 or 48 in.
We got that one.
Damn! I didn't know you had a 46 out here.
If Dom didn't hit that curb, it was [bleep] close.
Oh, no it was really close. I didn't see no sparks.
Did he say Dom was fast?
Where the [bleep] did he get that car?
I don't know. Dude, I almost killed you.
- You almost killed me? - Yeah.
I didn't turn your parachutes on.
- And then I like-- - What?
I ran over there to make your video, and I looked at your car
and I was like, "Oh, my God, parachutes aren't on."
And I ran over there to turn them on.
- It was so close, Chief. - You almost killed me.
- She come running across. - Oh, my God!
- When you were like spooling, I was like, "No."
That's the one pass where I was like,
look, I don't care what happens.
I usually let off a little early, throw the chutes.
I'm like, I don't care what happens this time,
I'm running all the way to the finish line.
Jeff said it's bouncy so I'll have the chute out,
but I'll still be running it just in case.
He wasn't gonna have the chutes out.
If you wouldn't have turned 'em on, I promise you, I'd be dead.
How was the bumps?
- It's bumpy. - You know. It's this car.
It's bumpy. Little wing goes like this,
it goes bump, bump, [bleep] you.
Dude, halfway down it made like a weird move.
- I was like, oh... - No, it carried good.
I was like, we'll be okay.
And then it went like this. And then Dominator goes...
I was like, what the [bleep]?
And then he was like... And he goes...
I was like, what the [bleep]? Why am I so slow?
I went to the finish line, [bleep] I sat down there and I was like,
oh, my God, did you [bleep] go around me, dude?
- No. - I said I wouldn't be pissed off
if I lost to Dominator, you know,
- But you would have. - I would have, man.
Hey, dude, he's [bleep] fast and he has no idea.
Dominator, dude. Little [bleep] road
I'm serious, he drove around me.
That's never happened. Dominator's never driven around me.
I told Dominator at the end of the race I wanted...
I was just excited if both cars are within the same finish line shot.
Only time my car and his car were ever side by side was on the [bleep] start line.
Sorry, I got out of it.
[Dominator] I so wanted to take a stab at the light, and I just can't do it.
I cannot anticipate when the light's coming on. Chief had me.
I mean, in 60 ft, he was far enough out in front of me
that I could see the front end of his car.
And then I pass it.
And in my brain, I'm going.
Yeah, here we are.
And then it starts pushing me left.
I got out of the gas, and I think they called it by a car.
You ever had Dominator drive around about half track?
I have. I did [bleep] first time.
I was joking, but yeah, dang. [bleep] rough, huh?
And a car broke, but you know, yes.
No, mine's running. Just, you know.
You don't know which Dominator you're gonna get.
It could be the one that didn't leave the line.
That was the last time.
- Was that yesterday? - Yeah, yesterday.
And then 420s.
I can't argue with it. What am I gonna say?
I said the only time our cars have ever been side by side is on the [bleep] start line.
- And then he [bleep] drives around me at 400 foot. - Yes.
Dave [bleep] kills me when Dave's flagging...
- What? - Dave goes...
Keep pulling, man, and it's... [mimics engine roaring]
- And he goes... - [all laugh]
I was in there, I was like, "Dude!"
What's really bad is I could see him in my peripheral,
but I didn't want to look at him 'cause I'm [bleep].
I'm looking and attacking him
like there's something really wrong here.
- Yeah, if you look at him, he's going [bleep] with you. - Yeah.
But since you wouldn't look, he's [bleep], hey, get a load of this guy.
Okay draw, right? All right, let's do this.
I woke up early for this [bleep].
Are you drawing?
- If Ryan draws himself... - I didn't draw myself, guys.
- Yeah, no doubt. - Monza good?
- Yep. - Ryan, good?
- Yes. - Oh!
- We good? - Oh, yeah.
- All right. - All right.
- Who's number one? - I got one and I drew Damon.
Nice. One and... Dyon.
- What? - I drew Ryan.
- No. Y'all are [bleep] up. - He said what?
He was like [bleep] you. Yeah, I drew Ryan.
I ain't gonna pick on you no more, I'll pick on Ryan.
Who's number two?
Who's two?
- Who'd you get? Who'd you get? - Daddy Dave.
Let's put our bets right now, boys and girls.
What's y'all's records? I know you're 8-0.
- What's your record? - Six and two.
- Six and two? - Yeah.
Only two people that have a tally mark on you is Ryan, right?
- Not nine wins. - Yep.
[Ryan] This is gonna be one of my toughest nights this season.
You know, first off, I got to race Monza right off the trailer.
And now, in the chip draw, I get Daddy Dave and Chuck.
But every pass I've made these last few weeks
has prepared me for the gauntlet I've gotta run tonight.
If somebody beats you two, [bleep] nice job, guys.
Yeah.
- Number three. - Yeah, that's me.
Me and Dom.
- Wow. - Yeah, yeah. Shoot.
[Nova] So finally, I draw somebody
that I have a chance at winning against,
and all I've got to do is run my race
and I'll get myself in the win columns.
I hate to assume it, but Dom is a winnable race for me.
So this losing streak is gonna come to an end tonight.
Four.
Uh-oh, here we go. Who are you dragging into this?
Me? [bleep] you trying to look at me?
Was that me?
- Oh, it was you? - [bleep]
It's a [bleep] again?
- Yeah, every night. - Every night.
- Uh, what number are we on? - Five.
- Five.
Me and Shaun.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
There you go.
[Nova] Damon's also a winnable race.
He's definitely getting faster,
but I feel like I'm a little more consistent.
After the draws of Dave and Ryan, I like my odds tonight.
- That's gonna be a good one. - Six?
Monza.
God dang!
Seven?
- All right. Darwin. - [laughs] Darwin?
- Darwin. - Darwin and Jeffrey.
Eight.
Me and the other GTO.
[bleep], man! I thought it's gonna be me.
Nine? [bleep] me up.
- Yeah. - Me and Chuck are nine.
It's the man. The man's [bleep] me Dom.
[all laugh]
Are we good?
- I don't know. I'm ready. - Right.
With two race nights left, it's all or nothing for most of us,
and with these matchups, it's bound to shake things up.
Never a dull moment in the 405.
- [Big Chief] Who's calling it? - Chucky.
- Chuck, are you sure? - Yeah, I'll call it.
- Damon. - Ready?
- I know. - I have [bleep].
Yeah, sure. I'll call it.
- Good? - Yeah. Tails.
[Big Chief] Ooh, look at that!
All right, Ryan, you gotta start out behind the puddle and give me the hit.
- Man. that's fair. - It's cool.
- Hey, Chuck, you could make that happen. - What?
- I did. - No, you can make it happen up here
without even telling him, have one of your crew guys pour the puddle
- before he goes. - He just agreed to it.
- Oh, yeah. - Yeah, okay, how about this?
No burn out.
- Chase the race. - Chuck's crew pours your puddle.
- No, he ain't gonna get a puddle. - Chase the race.
He's going to drive around him back--
[Shawn] They didn't get a burnout.
- No burnout yet. - No burnout.
[Monza] But he gets a puddle.
- [group laughs] - That's a good idea.
Then he gets the burnout.
I bet the car still don't spin.
$20 says he still don't spin the tires past this first line.
[group laughs]
[Chuck] I'll just take the left lane then and put him back in the right.
And that way he don't have to change his tune-up.
And then I'm gonna work on mine to go faster--
You're gonna go left, I'm gonna right.
Yeah, I'll go left. I'll just work on...
I'll work on trying to go faster in that lane.
Okay.
So I drew Ryan. We all know Ryan is bat fast.
That is not who I wanted to draw first.
But he just made a badass pass against Monza,
so I know I have to be on my game,
and this thing has to be turned up to the [beep] moon if I'm gonna outrun Ryan.
Yeah, I'm afraid we don't change nothing on the chassis,
you know what I mean.
At this point on the road, I feel like there's enough rubber laid down
I can make one hell of a pass.
Hey, I'm gonna guess on the flashlight.
Um...
[chuckles] Nice!
Just make sure I'm straight and all that.
I wanna stay in the rubber 'cause I put a lot of power in it.
Okay.
It shouldn't go...
It ain't gone right yet.
It's always went left, so even if you just...
Aim me a little right.
Even if you just tweaked it, I mean, just a touch, I'm okay with it, ya know.
But at this point, ya know, look, Ryan's undefeated.
- That car is dumb fast. - [Daddy Dave] Yeah.
And I'm fixing try to go faster than I'd probably ever been on this road
- and see how close I can hang to him... - Do it.
And, uh, just get data for...
He's just gonna go faster.
[beep] down there. Yeah, that's all he's gonna do is go faster.
You're exactly right.
[grunts]
It's just a race, right?
I'm not giving up.
I mean, we're gonna make a race out of it. That's for damn sure.
But damn his car is fast.
We good? Everything else is good?
Okay.
- Fuel good? - [Javier Caneles] Yeah.
- Plug wires good? - [Javier] Yeah.
Everything good?
I haven't been this nervous since we came out with the combination brand new.
You know, the pressure is on for me to stay undefeated.
And it's very difficult for me as time goes forward.
I know I've just gotta keep winning.
Just call me Mr. Right Lane.
- Mr. Right Lane. - That's how I feel like.
Just in the right lane, and the right lane, and the right lane,
And in one night, I gotta race the guys that are in second, third, and fourth place.
[Ryan Martin] Whoo, it is cold.
So I've gotta lock it in, be as focused as I can
because I know these guys are gunning to give me my first lost.
I can just feel it.
Ignition's on, pumps is on, power's on.
C02's not on, but you know how to turn it on up there.
- Make shifting. - [Ryan] Okay.
[Chuck chuckles] Hey, if this goes, it outta be pretty [beep] pretty.
[Shawn] Yeah, I'm sure. It's never not.
[Chuck] That's my plan right here.
- [laughs] - [Chuck] I'm 100% gonna guess on that [beep].
That's what I did.
[Chuck] Nobody video my back tire.
No, I'll stand in front of it.
- [Chuck] Yeah. - I'll trip and fall
in front of your tire before you leave.
Have you and Phantom got me?
'Cause Harvey can't help me.
- I gotta race Ryan. [chuckles] - Yes, absolutely.
Okay.
[shouting] Are you ready?
- [Shawn] Oh, [beep] - Wow.
- I think Ryan finished first. - Ryan got him.
- [Justin Big Chief Shearer] I think so too. - [man] Oh, yeah.
I'm gonna [beep] though.
- [Daddy Dave] Half a car. - [man] Gave him all he wanted.
- Yeah. - Yeah, he earned it. What's the call?
[man over radio] Looks like right lane by a bumper.
Right lane by a bumper.
[man] That's what I thought.
Hey, [beep] she got it.
- It's the same frame. - Like, he said he was gonna guess it.
He damn sure did. [chuckles]
- Uh, he turned it up, I mean. - 'Cause he tried to.
- Why not? - Yeah.
[Damon Merchant] One of these days Ryan will catch a nail though.
What lane do you want?
- Huh? - What lane do you want?
It don't...
Do you like dealing with that bump?
I don't think... I can lay my grass over from this one to that one.
- Makes no difference. - Ya can't see it.
And, that [beep] lane over there's fast.
Well, help me get me around once.
- Huh? - Help me get around once.
- Who you race first? - Shawn?
Are ya gonna try something?
[Chuck] [beep] How much was that for?
Half a bumper.
- [Chuck speaking] - Yeah.
Like a bumper.
He pedaled it.
[Chuck] That pass couldn't have gone better.
I pulled up next to Ryan.
We were neck and neck.
[gun fires]
I'm talking the best drag race I've had all season.
Somehow at the end, Ryan does what he always does,
nudges forward, beats me by a bumper, gets the win.
But, look, if you run neck and neck with Ryan Martin,
I'm doing something right. My car is bad fast.
Ryan walked away with the win today, but not tomorrow,
We were side by side, and he pedaled it,
and then he just shot right next to me,
like he disappeared, shot right next to me with that [beep] thing.
- [group laughs] - That's what ProChargers do.
I wanna try that same tune
- I had against Dominator that night... - Yeah.
That I hit the transbrake button 'cause it was going,
- and that's the best 60 I've had. - Let me take a look at that.
- [beep] - [Shawn] Not bad though.
She ran.
I tried, man.
He pedaled it, and it shot him forward. I don't know.
Well, we gave her hell.
[man] That's the best it's looked though.
You had enough right, right where you wanted.
- You aimed right just a little bit. - Yeah.
It went exactly where you pointed it.
- It just slowly, gradually-- - Yep.
- It went right a little bit? - Just barely.
But I really thing if you'd been straight,
it'd pass right there without running anybody else here,
except Ryan.
- Yeah, and I believe that too. - [man] Yeah.
It was fast.
And I didn't grab the scramble 'cause I honestly thought I was out on him, ya know.
Yeah, I really thought I was just, like, I had him nudged,
so I didn't grab the scramble.
- Right on, baby. Nine to none. - [Ryan chuckles]
- Was that a close one? - It was close. Was it close to the curb?
[Javier] Uh, no, not the curb.
[Ryan] Yeah, it was close [beep] to the curb.
[Ryan] Man, Chuck almost got me.
You know, I started off the night making one of the fastest passes
I've ever made in this same lane.
But this time, I don't know why. It didn't work as good.
[Javier speaking]
I don't know that it spun really I don't know what happened.
Like, I look at the drive shaft. I can't really tell.
[man imitating a chicken clucking]
[Ryan] Maybe I might've just popped it up too much, ya know.
[Ryan] Gotta dig into it and see what went wrong.
I mean, I'm still undefeated.
But these races are getting just too close for comfort.
And with Daddy Dave coming for me next,
I cannot make any mistakes.
I feel like, at some point, we can't be friends no more.
I cannot...
Oh, it was a good race. It was close as [beep].
That was a good race. I liked it.
- Yeah. - And I felt like you were like coming around me,
and then even when you pedaled it, like, nothing really changed.
- You still... - Yeah.
Kinda were coming around me, ya know.
- So, God, this thing is stupid! - No, it was--
Like, I didn't throw a Hail Mary,
but I threw something that I thought would be on the ragged edge.
- Right. - And it just went.
Yeah, I know I saw... Because you left really good.
And I seen you go [imitating a car peeling out].
And I was like, "Oh, man, I have to go catch him."
- We made a race out of it. - Yeah, I know. We did.
And I... Dude, soon as I pulled up next to you,
it started shaking [imitating machine gun firing].
- Yeah. - Then it pointed to the curb
and went over the curb.
And I was like, "Ah, dammit."
- And I pulled and smacked it again. - I heard you [beep].
- Yeah, at the very end. - Yeah.
And it was just enough.
I don't think if I didn't smack it again
- I would not have gone around you. - Yeah.
- Anyway, hey. - Hey, it was a good race. Good job.
[Daddy Dave] He's just a friendly guy.
Him so nice.
- Yeah, I know. - [Daddy Dave] Him so nice.
Ya can't get mad at him.
- [chuckles] - [Shawn] Are you close?
Yes.
- You are? - Yes.
Like close?
Like, I've ran the valves, chutes packed, engine's cooled down.
- It's getting close. - Like...
Yeah. Like, the more I stare at the computer,
the more I wanna take out of it or put in it.
- It's best to just close it. - [Shawn] Put a bunch more in it.
- Yeah, no. - [Shawn chuckles]
- [Joe "Dominator" Woods] No. - Yep.
[Daddy Dave] All right, ya ready?
[Shawn] You doing the coin toss?
[Daddy Dave] Yeah, I'll call it.
- [Daddy Dave] You call? - Oh, man.
- [Shawn] I'll call it if you want. - [Daddy Dave] Hurry up.
Tails.
[Daddy Dave] It's tails.
[Dominator] You sure?
- [Daddy Dave] Buzzed it. - Okay.
- [Daddy Dave] Come on. - I'm staring at him and he's [exhales deeply].
And then he stop, he looking, "Oh, oh."
- [Dominator laughs] - Man, you're up.
- I wanna take the right. - Really?
Yeah.
Okay.
I didn't think you was gonna do that.
Thought he was gonna take the left.
That curb don't like me over there.
- That thing was like sucking me down into it. - [exhales] It was close.
It was close. I saw that.
[Dominator] And it was ugly, and I didn't care for it.
You'd rather get sucked over towards the center
and into Shawn or into the curb?
[Shawn] These two heavyweights, man.
- [Daddy Dave laughs] - Outta anybody out here I do not want him to hit me.
- Yeah. - If any of these other guys hit me,
I think there gonna boom off of me,
and I probably [exclaims]... I might [exclaims] just a little bit, but...
I don't want him to hit me.
That things full of weight.
His is full of weight just like mine's full of weight.
All right, I'm gonna... As soon as you start
getting in the car, I'll get in.
I'm letting you roll up.
How many burnouts you doing?
The plan is one.
Okay, perfect.
- That's all ya need out there. - That's all I'm gonna do.
- Maybe two. More than likely... - [Shawn] All right, buddy.
- [Shawn] Okay. - [Daddy Dave] See ya.
He didn't make a good one last time he was in the right.
- Yeah. - We made a pretty good one last time we was in the right.
- Yeah. - Which one of those did we win though?
Oh.
[Daddy Dave] Man, that's easy answer.
[Shawn laughs] Neither one of them.
I can't remember when we lost that one race which lane we were in.
No, the one we lost.
[Shawn] You know, the race that we lost.
- Well, there's eight of them so far, so... - [Shawn] Yeah.
Hey, that's fixing to change though.
[Shawn] Well, we'll see.
I do feel like...
if I'm gonna beat somebody out here he's the only other heavyweight back half car
- that's out here. - Yeah.
So if I'm gonna get any wins, now's my time.
Right now, I don't have a single win for the season.
Uh, the OGs making really good passes.
And it's as consistent as it's ever been.
But the chassis in this car is definitely not built to run with some of these other cars.
Even though Dom's been pulling out some amazing passes,
I'm still not real sure how this is gonna go down...
especially with me being in the left lane.
But, hopefully, we can pull something together and start a trend.
[Dominator] Shane...
something's [beep] loose in the backend. I felt it shift around.
I really need this win so that I can at least be two and seven.
But it has to happen.
I mean, look, we've all had those conversations
about you're gonna take a win when you have to take a win.
And that's why we are here.
It's not to lose.
Hey, something's loose in the [beep] backend.
I just felt it [beep] squirm all over the place.
It was all over the place coming up here?
Like when I just turned here it [beep].
The wishbone... Look at the basics,
wishbone, four link, and the rollbar, you know what I mean.
Yeah, if you can roll it back, you can lay down under it.
Can we push it back?
[man] You can't be doing all this work.
- Man, he's all right. - Just wanna make sure nothing's [beep] broke.
[Big Chief] Yeah, I feel ya.
[man] No, I meant pushing it.
[Big Chief] It ain't got a wishbone in it?
[Dominator] Yeah, it does. It's on the top.
[man laughs]
[Big Chief] Huh.
Uh, drive shaft's in it.
Four link looks hooked up.
[Dominator] Am I just on crack, is it just the [beep] tire?
[Big Chief] That's a lot of...
- Oh, no, look. - [Big Chief] No, something's going on here, bro.
[Big Chief] Uh, drive shaft's in it.
Four link looks hooked up.
[Dominator] Am I just on crack, is it just the [beep] tire?
[Big Chief] That's a lot of...
- Oh, no, look. - [Big Chief] No, something's going on here, bro.
[Dominator] Yep, nope, I broke something.
- [man] Do it again. Do it again. - [man 2] Hang on.
- Oh, yeah, the [beep] wishbone. - Wishbone, gotta be wishbone.
- [Big Chief] See, I knew it was the wishbone. - [beep]
Hang on, Shawn.
- [mechanic] We can't fix it. - [Big Chief] Oh, we can't? Is it that bad?
- [mechanic] Yep. - [Big Chief] Nevermind.
- Nevermind. - [mechanic speaking]
Wait, what?
[Big Chief] Oh, [beep].
- Hey, at least you caught it. - [Dominator] Yeah.
[Big Chief] You'd died just now, bro. Nice catch.
- [man] Great catch. - [Big Chief] Nice catch. [whistles] Holy [beep].
That's the thing.
When we race this much back to back,
- those are the things we need to be checking. - Yeah.
So Dom got extremely lucky there.
The wishbone holds the rear-end straight in the car.
If he'd made a pass, he definitely would've crashed,
and maybe even crashed into me.
Racing so much back to back, the 405 has to have each other's backs
and be careful before we get up to the line.
[Shawn] What's making you stop?
I broke the [beep] wish-- The shaft of the wishbone snapped.
[Shawn] All right, man.
So I'm gonna get one win this [beep] year and it's by default.
Is that what you're saying?
You're gonna make me take
one [bleep] damn win off default?
- Well, I mean, you can wait. - [Big Chief] Give him time. Give him time, Shawn.
- Hey, [bleep]. - [Murder Nova] Damn.
If you wanna wait...
- Give him time. - [Dominator] Hey.
Hey, now, listen.
Now, you're one of the very ones that has told me many, many times...
- Yeah, no, I'll take a win... - at this point in time,
- you're gonna [bleep] take it. - At this [bleep] point, man,
I'm 0-8. I wanna be 0-10, [bleep] damn it.
- Hey. If you're gonna do it, do it right. - All right!
- Know how fast this [bleep]. - Then I see you in a couple days.
[Big Chief] There you go.
[chuckling]
- [Murder Nova] [bleep], man. - Look, hey.
I felt it.
We just had the conversation about one of us running into the other.
- I'm not doing that [bleep]. - We 100% just had that conversation.
Do I get to try something?
That's the thing. It's up to you, baby.
- What do you mean? - You could let him [bleep].
You could give him time and try something,
or you could take it from him and try something, any way you wanna do it.
I'll give him time.
[laughing] I love it.
Try the hit. Make the hit.
Now. Oh, really?
- Yeah, why not? - I still get to make a hit without taking the win?
- Yeah, why not. - [Murder Nova] Okay.
Ain't nobody up here to tell you no.
- [Murder Nova] Dom? - Yo.
So they can just put us towards the end of the line, like the end of the night.
And then, me and you can [bleep] race...
- The next night. - Because it's not gonna be tonight.
I'm good with that.
- I love you, baby. - Love you, man.
- All right. - I gotta do this.
- Shawn? - [laughing]
- Hey. - That's pretty straight up, man.
[Murder Nova] I love you, baby.
So Dom broke, and it would have been amazing to finally get that first win.
But, since I'm winless, I'm damn sure
not gonna take my first win off of failed parts.
So I'll take the free pass, get the data off of it,
and we can battle it out once Dom gets it fixed.
[bang]
Oh! [bleep].
Hey!
If you get one good pass, Dom. One.
I'm gonna go over there to your trailer and I'm gonna hang my head in the door,
and I want you to slam that bitch as hard as you can.
It just would have been bad.
All the [bleep] way around, it would have been bad.
- [Dominator] No, I'll drive it down there. - Sure?
[Dominator] Yeah, it'll drive straight.
I mean, it can't track far enough to get the tire into the quarter.
How you turn around down there?
[Dominator] I got a jack down there. I'll have to...
Hairpin it?
[Dominator] Yeah.
There it is, there it is.
Now that [bleep] it looked good down low. [bleep].
[Murder Nova] It did good out of the hole.
- Yeah. - It got out there and shook a little bit, you know, so...
Ugh. That's...
Sucky.
I don't know. It shook hard though.
[Chuck] Yeah, [bleep] Chuck. I mean, that Chuck guy...
I mean, he's gotten... You snatched him like three cars out of the hole.
Hey, I mean, what else you gotta do?
Oh, Ryan Martin over there sleeping, and Chuck did that!
- I don't think I was sleeping. - I didn't want...
- You weren't sleeping. He stole it. - I think Chuck stole it.
Hey, listen, listen.
- Listen. - But he's made it look like I was sleeping.
- Yeah, sure. - I stole more than that light in my lifetime.
But look, I didn't want Ryan to get too comfortable.
He is always used to driving around me on the big end.
For the last two years, he drives around every time, so...
You kept him honest, didn't you?
- I just wanna keep him honest, so I... - You kept him honest.
- I got out there a little bit. - I was... Hey.
- And I just wanted... - By midway, I was like, "Oh, [bleep]."
- I wanted to see if he could reel me in. - Here's my I.
- And yeah, he can. [bleep] absolutely he can. - [laughs] And he pedaled it.
Yeah, he pedaled it, and still reeled me in, and drove by me.
-And he shot me the finger that one, you know, -[laughing]
- I didn't tell anyone. - You got time to do that?
- [Chuck] Yeah, he did. - I did not.
Hell no. I got a hand on the steering wheel, one on the parachute.
Yeah. It's what he says here, but pretty sure he went...
"I got you, [bleep]."
- You calling it? - Yeah.
- Heads. - Have a... Weird.
[Daddy Dave] Tails all night.
And I have not won a coin toss yet.
You should probably put him in that right lane
'cause he's not near as fast in the right lane as he... [bleep] I'll tell.
But he moved around in the right lane, right?
- I'll take the right lane. - Okay, that's a weird...
-[Daddy Dave] I want to... [laughing] -A weird strategy, but okay.
I just want two good passes.
- Okay. - Like, I think we're the fastest two here.
Oh, your car is really fast.
You could give me my first I.
- If there's anybody that can do it... - I'm gonna try.
I know that car can.
[bleep] yeah.
- Good luck. - You too.
- Good job, guys. - How much time we need, Jav?
- Dave's trying to hire a crew, so it's gonna be a while. - [laughing]
So far tonight, Ryan's made
a killer pass and a not-so-killer pass.
But he's won both of 'em,
and it just goes to show how good Ryan Martin is.
My car's been running great all night, and it's hauling ass down the right lane.
So I stand the best chance of anyone of giving Ryan Martin his first loss.
- Fill, fuel, everything good? - Yup.
Argh!
I guarantee ya this is the moment Dave's been waiting for all season.
I was able to get him early, first rattle out of the bucket
when we first started the season,
but he's just itching to give one back to me.
CO2 is not on. Chutes are on, pumps are on, power's on.
Turn the CO2 on after the burnout.
- Okay. - Doing two burnouts.
Cables, chute cables good?
- Chute cables good. - Okay.
[engine starts]
We've both gotten really comfortable with these new combinations.
Both our cars are hauling ass.
So I bet this is gonna be a really good race.
[Murder Nova] Damn!
[bleep] stupid, dude.
Makes you think twice about running next to the car.
He's one of those drivers that turns back.
Instead of staying on this [bleep] line, like I'm telling him to do.
You don't listen.
[Murder Nova] I don't think he's checked his wheelie bars or nothing.
What happened?
[bleep] Dave, should have given me the wheelie bar wrench, huh?
- Huh? - [laughing] I had no wheelie bar wrench.
He didn't say nothing about [bleep] setting the wheelie bars or nothing.
- He just said, "Pull me up there and pour the juice." - Well, you know.
He's gonna do the stop on the starting line thing?
He just texted me, "Dave jumped."
[Big Chief] What? Did he really?
[Chuck] Yeah, he said, "Dave jumped."
- [all laughing] - Ryan [bleep] nobody.
He said, "Dave jumped."
Ryan just texted me and said, "Dave jumped."
No! I [bleep]. Dude, I don't know.
I double hit the transbrake button, [bleep]. You know what I mean?
- Like, I let off and-- - What did that mean?
[bleep], well, if you do that, it does that.
- Oh, you went to let off and said, "No," and it let... - Yes!
- Off again? I've done that before, yeah. - Exactly what I did.
- I thought you just turned it up and... - No.
- And tried to find the limit. - Absolutely not.
Oh. So, hey, you were moving, you were rolling to pull off and you went, "No."
Yeah, it's exactly what I did.
The [bleep] part is I wanted to see that race, you know what I mean?
I [bleep] blew it with the transbrake button. So stupid.
[Ryan] Man, that is not the way I wanna take my first loss.
Chief went back to bang the light...
[bang]
And at the last minute, I thought I was a little too early
so I double-tapped the transbrake button for some reason.
Upset the car, smoked the tires, and I watched Dave drive out of my life.
[Ryan] That sucks.
Stupid!
[Chuck] Hey...
[Ryan] No, I don't think it did. I did it so fast...
- [Chuck] Yeah? - I don't think it did.
I would have much rather Dave just beat me in a straight up race
than screw it up myself.
Oh, yeah, no. It stopped it. It stopped it.
[Chuck] It stopped it?
[clapping]
[Murder Nova] I mean, at some point, at some point, man,
you should have given me a wheelie bar wrench.
I never checked the [bleep] wheelie bars or nothing.
- Oh, yeah. - Yeah!
- We probably should have checked that [bleep]. - Yeah.
[Daddy Dave] My crew chief, Jason Wheeler, couldn't be here tonight,
so I asked my good buddy Shawn to line me up.
But we're not crew people,
and we both forgot to set my wheelie bars.
What happened?
Uh, I was letting go of the button, and I was like, "No, too soon!"
And I probably just barely let up, and then went back again.
He got a video. You should see the tire.
It stopped it and the car bounced.
- Good job, Dave. - You didn't seem happy.
You gave me my I.
[Daddy Dave] So when I let go of the button,
the car made a hard left, I almost crossed center, I had to get out of it.
Got back in it, pedaled it, went down through there,
and I figured Ryan Martin was right behind me.
[Ryan] [bleep] hit the transbrake twice. It was pretty ugly.
That was totally my fault.
You know how I told you... You said,
you said, "Hey, do you think we can go 10-0?"
And I said, "Man. To go 10-0, your car has to do everything right,
you gotta do everything right, the driver has to do everything right."
Well, guess who failed us?
Everything did great, but the driver screwed the tenth win up.
Ah, it's all good, man. We'll get 'em on the next one.
- 9-1. That's what... We did the same thing in Nebraska. - [laughing]
That just must be our number, 9-1.
We got no data out of this, honestly,
and we still don't know who's got the faster car.
No crew guy to even celebrate with.
I'm gonna have to wait for the light on this one because I don't know...
The flagger. You know, I don't know his routine, so...
Just want to try to cut a good light.
You're ready and just waiting on them?
You flagging?
Um...
They asked me to, yes.
Okay. I'm fine with that.
Which lane are you in?
Left lane?
[Monza] Chip draws have been tough tonight.
First draw, we get Ryan.
Second draw, we get Chief.
I mean, I don't know any worse two we could've drew.
Right now, we're a win up on Chief, but if he wins this one, he'll tie me.
We need to beat him.
There's no way we're gonna lose that lead
without going down with a fight.
I'm not gonna start it till he pulls up there.
You need some oil?
You want more oil or no?
[chuckles] Why?
- At this point we're just throwing money away. - [Jackie chuckles]
I mean, maybe it will make it last a little longer.
Don't patronize our motor, okay, Jackie?
[Jackie] Whatever.
[Justin] If you start treating it like it's family
then all of a sudden it'll start acting like family
and stealing your money and borrowing your car.
[Shawn] With this race, Chief can decide my fate for the season.
If he wins this race,
there's no possibility of me making the top five.
Uh, if I've ever rooted against my old partner,
it's right now.
Like, remember in your burnout that you're pretty right.
Like, when you back up try not to go...
Like, if you go right more you'll be on the barrier, you know?
- Yeah. Oh, yeah. It keeps [bleep] the tires. - Try not to...
- Yeah, try not to oversteer that way. - It keeps [bleep] the tires.
[Justin sighs]
- [Justin] All right. We ready? - Yeah.
- Good luck. - Thank you. Love you.
Love you.
[engine starting]
[engine revving]
[tires screeching]
[engine revving]
Jackie!
[engine revving]
- [man 1] Wow. - [man 2] Nice lick.
- Nice lick. - Oh.
- [Jeff] Chief by a car. - [man] Son of a...
He got all the M's in there, don't he?
- He sure does. - Yeah.
He packed every one of them in there.
[man on radio] Right lane, two cars.
[Dom] I feel like that was...
Well, I mean, from here it didn't look like two cars.
[Monza sighs] [bleep]
[bleep]
Ain't the way I envisioned that going.
Oh, no.
You were a little late on the light right there, but...
Could have definitely had her wicked up
from the last time we raced him, didn't he?
So, tonight was not our night.
[Monza] Dom hit the light.
Chief got a pretty good jump on me.
We were running him down.
We just ran out of real estate.
Losing twice tonight was definitely not what we wanted to do when we showed up.
That's gonna make things tough.
We're gonna go home, regroup,
and make sure this don't happen again.
Y'all were like here,
and it stayed there and he gained a little bit here
and then it stayed there and then he hit the shift
and he gained a little there.
It was... Might have been.
That was salty there, my son.
- [Jackie] It was so fast. - It was so fast. [chuckles]
- It was so fast. - With a couple S's.
- It was so fast. - [Jeff laughs]
- It was [bleep] fast. - Hey, I just want you guys to know.
- That [bleep] worked. - [Jeff] Yeah.
- Yeah, it worked great. - [Justin] That [bleep] worked and...
whatever you're doing over here...
That motor when I was turning around was only 108 degrees. Like, money.
You took off...
Your edge of your tire followed the [bleep] black marks
and when it started going left you were following the [bleep] marks.
- Dude, it worked like a charm. - You followed those marks.
- Dude, [bleep] perfect. - [Jeff] That was hard, man.
They don't ever [bleep] You know, they'll never understand our plan
- until it's over. [laughs] - [Jeff] That's right. That's right.
- That was [bleep] amazing. - [Jackie] All the way to the edge
- up until where those front tire marks are? - Beautiful.
That was beautiful.
- [bleep] - Nice job.
Make a good one?
Nice, good.
- All right, it's what I'm being told down there. - [laughs]
That's what they're...
I'm sure Brandon is giving it you.
That's what I'm getting my ass chewed out for
at the moment anyway.
Yeah, I mean, I thought I left good, but [bleep]
You were late.
There's a [bleep]. Yeah, there's a [bleep]
When you're reacting to the light and leaving good
and when you got somebody like me who as soon as
Joe starts running backwards,
I go...
[laughs]
I'm still happy. I mean I still went A to B on the gas and [bleep]...
[Chief] About half way down,
I was like I don't even know if he left.
I know he hit the tree, but I didn't know if he left
and I looked over and I can see your headlights
and I was, like, well,
he's not too far back there then we're racing.
So, it's [bleep] awesome.
I got to get faster now.
- See ya, man. - See ya.
Hey, you don't see a pair of earbuds anywhere laying around, do you?
I usually hang 'em right up here and they...
Oh, that's cool.
Mmm.
Somebody sabotaged us.
These [bleep] guys playing games, aren't they?
I'm really stoked about this race with Shawn.
Since we were young, we were going to Oklahoma City
and watching these guys street race as we were building our cars.
Uh... And Shawn has kind of always been someone
I've looked at as how I want to be dominant, confident.
Kinda says what's on his mind and how he feels about everything.
So, in competition with somebody like him,
and getting the lineup against him is gonna be a good feeling.
Come on, don't shut off.
So, even though it's mathematically impossible
for me to make the top five if I'm still racing,
I'm still dangerous.
At least it's different than it was last time.
I don't know 'cause I've tire shook it before
and it ain't never shut off.
So, tonight should be my night.
Every night out here, I've been making great, clean passes,
but I've been drawing the best of the best.
[car engine starts]
Now, I draw some winnable races
and things still don't go my way.
I did the right thing and gave Dom some time to fix his car.
Then, on my test hit, car decides to shake for the first time in weeks.
So, we go over the car the best we can,
but nothing standing out on what made it shake.
Hopefully, we can still have enough to get around Damon.
Was that a good pass?
That's [bleep] washed out and went way over.
To the left?
Yeah.
Out there.
That's why I knew something's wrong, 'cause I didn't hear nothing.
[bleep] Shaun.
He just takes it too far.
That is rolling.
Looked like left lane.
I think he got one, boss.
What's the call on that one?
Left lane by car and a half.
[bleep] Oh.
Wow.
Hey, when you do get one, you really get all of one, don't you?
- Man. - It looked good.
- All right, left lane. - Been whiffing so long, they finally got a piece of one.
The elusive 300 yard drive.
[bleep]
It's all you can do.
Yeah, that's probably the same tune up that didn't go the other night.
Oh, boy.
[beeping]
Something in here's beeping, guys.
Feel like I'm in the movie Die Hard.
Yeah, right, that went beep, beep.
I feel like here's the walkie talkie here
- with some Russian guy on it. - Did you hear the beeps?
[laughs]
[in Russian accent] You have 30 minutes to get to
other side of the bridge.
[laughs]
Oh, man.
- Good pass? - Yeah, yeah.
- That was a good pass. - It looked amazing.
Yeah. What he got out on me at the 60 foot was about it.
- Yeah. - And then I was like, "Okay,
Mike can make it up on the big end until it started shaking."
Once it starts [bleep] shaking, dude,
there's no acceleration anymore after that.
I just, I don't know.
I don't know what else to do.
I don't, I don't know.
So, I go in against Damon.
Chief bangs the light.
Damon leaves on me early and I just can't come around him.
Even if my car didn't shake...
Um, no, it didn't shake near as bad.
I'm not sure I had enough to outrun Damon.
He laid down one of the fastest passes
he's made on this road, which is what everybody seems to do
when they're racing me.
I've still got my rerun to race Dom
and until then, all I can do is hold my head up high
and try to get that first win.
Once it starts shaking, there's,
you just don't accelerate anymore. At that point,
you're just maintaining...
and maintaining ain't enough.
You know, I mean...
-Not with these cars, -No, not with these cars.
He even said I shot for it, man. I had to see if I can run with these guys.
You know?
- He did good. - Yeah.
Made a good lick.
Yeah, but this one was fast.
[sighs]
I feel like it was fast.
But, I don't know maybe I don't know what fast is anymore.
That's as fast as we can go with this car.
Like, there's literally nothing else that we can do, like...
Not until we figure out how to go fast.
- Yeah. - Like...
Yeah, this is as fast as the car's been here.
- Right, right there. - That was the fastest pass we made?
And he put [bleep] probably two cars on me.
Yeah, they called it a car and a half.
We've said it, man, on paper, on a track.
I can't run with none of these cars.
This...
the paper was right.
- Yeah. - You know?
Yeah.
Ah.
Ooh.
[bleep] that felt good.
The feeling's great. Anytime you beat somebody like Shawn,
it's a huge victory, especially for somebody like me
that's been watching him forever.
I've said it over and over.
- Told you. - You feel better that time.
[bleeping]
Good job, guys.
- Hell yeah. - Good call.
Good call.
I've been wanting that win for a long [bleep] time.
Beating OG Murder Nova on the street.
That's been my... that's...
- That's a bucket list deal. - It was.
It felt good. I did feel the bump,
the dip, I guess you'd call it a dip.
It glided over pretty good though.
Man.
- Shaky after that one. - Me too.
[bleep] man, that was a big deal.
The whole time, we've been building this car is, like, just one race I won.
One race, I want to win, it's that one and finally got it done,
so, we got the win now.
And we're three and six. I kind of feel like it kind of puts us
right, every win kinda puts us a little bit closer, a little bit closer.
But, for now, we're going to celebrate this win
and use this data to go into the next race with Lutz.
This [bleep] work off of now.
[laughs]
After the sixth race night, we're all getting a good idea
of who's going to represent the 405 and America's list.
As expected, Ryan secured his spot with a nine and one record.
And Dave is not too far behind him at seven and two.
Chuck has a six and three record which should be good enough
to make it in the top five, but it's getting a little close for comfort.
Chief's made big moves tonight winning both of his races,
and now he's tied with Monza at five and three.
This leaves Jeff Lutz and Damon in a tough spot.
That both have enough races left to make it in the top five,
but no room for error.
Dominator and I still have a re-race,
but I haven't won enough to make it into the top five.
But, I'm damn proud of everything these racers
have achieved this season.
No matter who goes to the top 20,
the rest of the country can't sleep on the 405.
- Hey, what's up? - Hey, what up.
- What are you doing? - Oh, I'm trying to straighten things up.
Kind of got a mess going on here.
- That's all I'm doing right now actually. - Really?
- What are you doing? - Well...
I'm coming over to talk to you.
I had an interesting phone call with Chief.
- Okay. - He said that, uh...
we're gonna stop right now.
And we're gonna load up and we're going to Chicago.
We're gonna race Chicago on their street.
Okay, so the tally marks and all the things
- and all that's... - On hold.
- We're on hold because we're going out of town. - Yes.
You know, when we leave and we go as a team.
You know, we unite.
- Yep. - Kick everybody's ass, so...
Okay, and Chicago is the people's, huh?
- Yes. And... - So, there's a guy named Jewson.
- Okay. - Well, he's putting this all together.
He says he's got some of the baddest [bleep] cars.
Believe it or not.
We're putting the ride off on hold because an opportunity
to race out of town has come up and we've got to go grab it.
Jewson street promoter.
Off to see Jewson Street promoter.
Winning out of town races for 405 has always been the ultimate goal.
And this one's gonna be huge because we're going to Chicago
to finish a race that we started nine years ago.
So, this is the place that Dave got hustled
into racing in, like, the rain or something.
Here's what happened.
In the driver's meeting, they negotiated to have the left lane all night.
You guys got lane choice, so whatever lane you want.
You're gonna stay in that lane the whole night.
- I'm going with right. - You're gonna take the right?
- They flipped this thing out
with [bleep] glue and tires and this fat ass guy
standing on these two tires.
And they're dragging him down the street.
They're prepping their lane, right?
And it came down to Dave and Tough...
You guys talked [bleep] on the internet. You're ready, right?
Tough versus Sonoma? 10K?
Are you good, Dave?
[engine sputtering]
It start raining, I legitimately wiped Dave's windshield off
from raindrops.
It's [bleep] raining and they agreed to race.
Dave blew the tires off and there went Tough.
[all exclaiming]
Yeah!
[all cheering]
- So, we got hustled on that. - Yeah.
But, we were in their house, their rules
and we're going back to their house again.
Yes.
I guess they have a road and it's asphalt.
That's not what we've been running on.
- That's it is what it is. - If we show up early,
- you know, we can always... - Absolutely.
Find this said road and make passes on said road.
And go, "whoops, y'all didn't want us to do that?"
- My bad. - Is that wrong?
This race will put us to the test like
none other has before, there are so many factors working against us.
They have more small tire guys than they do big tire guys,
so they got some people from Kansas.
- Man, are you messing with me? - No.
This doesn't even sound real.
So, not only do we gotta take out Chicago,
but we got to worry about the guys from Kansas City too.
And if we want to come up victorious,
- we got to stick together. - I know, you know,
we need to figure out who's gonna go to America's List,
but when it comes down to it, if we can stop for a little bit
and go maybe kind of get the group together.
- Yeah. - Hopefully go do what we used to do.
- Yeah. - Because we haven't done a lot of that.
- Yeah. - If this race is gonna be the ultimate test
on this year's mission to become a better team.
We're gonna need each and every one of us
to put a beat down on these guys
and finally put this beef between these two cities to bed.
I'm excited to race out of town.
- Yeah. - You know how we do it.
When we go out of town, we're unstoppable.
This gets us to a different road that we haven't raced on
to a different group of guys. I'm in.
- Let's do it. - Yeah.
- All right, get your [bleep] ready. - Yep.
Next time...
They already have it figured out. They're gonna steal it all from us.
Everything we've worked for this season
comes under fire.
If you're that badass, why don't you spot these small tires...
- Why do I need to spot anybody? - 'Cause you're that badass.
I'm gonna beat the [bleep] teeth out of you.
And in order to survive...
- Okay. [bleep] you. - [bleeping]
We have got to stick together...
- Yeah! - [all cheering]
- My God. - What the [bleep] is happening?
Because when we hit the road...
Look out, look out. It's on.
It's one for all and all for one.
- [all cheering] - What's up.
[whooping triumphantly]
