challenge

of ground, but he is a working pilot.

Elliot boots could do it. He's getting off to a perfect start keeping a field behind him. Elliot boots comes here to try to lead lap number one in this 45 minute final. Boots now reaches the start and finish section with an initial turn of a four 471 bits faster than rien rolk to the third Lutz from 10 to 4 defend from 13 to 5 fifth Aiden horn to six from 12 lime from 15 to 7 one One of the names we usually talk about is Dakota F. He had difficulties in qualifying. She had to come back on the last chance in qualifying to get out of the bottom

main

line.

She was able to get that victory. She started 13th on the grid. He's up to fifth place trying to be a tender here in the final as we think this is the R people with this is Spencer with boots here in front boots leading the way rivkin right in tow there are boots in front ronal ful now finds his way to the two spots rivkin goes three Dakota Fen blows a four aen horn also from the back of the grid, he started in position 12 all the way up to spot five so there's a big move here for the fan horn Brandon Rose from 14 to the top seven here in the first minute and 50 seconds in this final minute 45, we're following Rona's people here to the big pit on the step up, he's got Spencer Rivkin right behind him.

It's the x-ray conducted by David Rona of Sweden and he teamed up with Spencer Ripkin of Surprise Arizona. Rona's folks, Lee Spencer, through the back section up and over the double, do a hip hop looking clean as they come down through our start and finish area. Raa people cross the line with a 4 461 rivkin with a 461 and here comes Fen registered with a 44 458 backs it up with a flat 46 oh no check that 496 while Dakota drops a couple places we are left with our battle for second place here. Rona Hulk and rivkin Elliot boots lead here, he has built up a 3 second lead it doesn't seem like much but at this level of running in each race it is about a tenth of a second, he has built up a 3 second lead to start in full field , Rona folk, the horse born to Ripken from the 9th of the four, then it is F, followed by the horn of Juan Carlos Kass, Wiggins, Rose Bon, follows the line of Camden, Ryan Lutz Ryan.

Mayfield Frankie Kraus Jr and Mason Fuller complete their 15-car field three minutes into this 45-minute finale crossing the line 46-1 Rona Fulk with 457 starts winding it into a couple of tents here, a couple of tents There, then you know it's knock, knock. knocking on the back door but that's not going to work, we see Rona Fulk with a bubble, a kiss on the pipe. 4130 left on the race clock, that little mistake by Rona will give the boots more room and allow Ripken to close in on Joe Borse right behind him boror by simply making his exit lap there 45.8 seconds there for Joe behind from him Dakota Fen again Fen started through the climb from the

main

line B started 13th on the first lap got up over half the field sitting in P5 picks up our leader boots now making his way through that big double of air around 180 into our Rhythm Section it's a vacation six pack double double double another 1880 double more very tricky section at the top here there's a little crown at the top and it discharges just as they're trying to reduce power , now we return to our fourth place.

Racer Dakota Fen Dakota Fen driving a tlr chassis, her well-known paint scheme here, blue and orange on yellow wheels. Dakota fan working here in the big The big hole behind him will be Juan Carlos Kass followed by Joe Bores and Rose as Rona folk rivkin trying to keep Pace in front with boots Elliot from the UK 4 seconds with the leader super awesome push here from the beginning for defending himself when he left. from 13th place now to 4th plus nine positions in the first 5 minutes of the race against a group like that, not an easy task, they gathered a little and he received some gifts from the RC gods, but he still had to choose his path.

Through that Carnage B making up a second that time on Ripken, now the gap between him and the third place in front of him is 3.6. You see F coming here and jumping into the well right now, you'll see in front of him. You see rivkin weaving in and out of view entering the chicane, you see rivkin right there, rivkin all the way out by the wall using the wall here, so theota, oh man, he's doing it sideways, there Cy W goes to enter, we resume back to the front, pick up boots coming to the six pack here take the wide line, try to make the first one really difficult, get your momentum, keep your pace here, reaching the back section of the track, a little bump there in the run-up. the double put it a little sideways but somehow was able to hold the boots pushing hard up and over terrain that has handicaps, lots of nice soft traction to make the corner boots spin and rivkin your top three fans still about 3 and 1/2 seconds behind. rivkin 2.9 behind Rona Rona 6.1 behind the boots, so two of the Europeans ran one with the United Kingdom's Elliot boots David Rona of Sweden while the Elliot boots simply achieved the fastest lap of the race there 44.5 to extend their lead in 6 seconds as We follow Fend around the race track here as he reaches the starting finish line.

We will check your return time there through a strip. This time to defend his fast lap. Fender 45.1 on the 180 in the rhythm section as we return to the boots. now he takes off and goes over that double Big Air. You see him spin the wheels in the air so that the car turns on landing smoothly and easily. Here in our deadlock section there is a set of 90° corners that turn into a very treacherous S-turn. they fall into the Big Air outward gravity cavity, double smooth and easy, jump towards that outside tube to get the line for the next turn and jump up and over the hip, some of the best parts here of this form of race are the pits.

Pit stops are a crucial part here and you will have plenty of them in the form of these approximately 7 and a half minute pit stops. Some guys will be able to stretch it a little bit more, maybe eight will go, we hope to see the first round coming. very early and makes it a team effort, the pit guys must be in sync with the drivers they must communicate with, coming in at the right time, a smooth entry and exit is crucial to being able to win the DNC, yes the Pitman is also like a coach: they keep you informed of all the information about the track, the pace at which they are running, where they are on the field and whether they should drive faster or slower in many situations, are the boots those that go in front. by Rona folk and rivkin 37 and A2 minutes okay pit stops now our first is at 735 when he comes into the pits boots up and away, clean start, great pit stop there for his leader. 8C leadership gets you in and out of the pits.

Still holding on, we see Rona coming in, there's Rivkin right behind him, they're down and away and it looked like it was Fen going down the lane, there's Kass, in the way, Brandon Rose down there, away, good pit stops, the most important for your leader. although his last lap was soft, his entry was 445, his fastest lap in a race, takes the tight line through that section and sends it down the pipe over that very difficult double, now to the back section, pits so important, a lady that there could be a problem. It would be devastating to his championship chances.

Oh, a flame went out when we left the pits. I didn't understand who he was. I want to say maybe it was the horn, but I could be wrong. He's still dead. There are problems sometimes. they arrive they have a problem maybe they are almost out of fuel and they may be getting too hot they fill a tank too quickly sometimes they can go out lose lose fire and have to take it back and restart it Dakota Fen has now moved in those two places I don't think they entered the field, but he is using the track position to make passes without going through the pit lane.

We'll see if we go back a couple of laps from 47, but I don't think it's a pit. The 3550 to finish the 45 minute championship final Elliot starts in front last time with a lead of 7.8 seconds while the Cod defends with pit stops now definitively to second place from 13th on the grid an absolutely start brilliant for this Dakota fan 9 minutes 30 seconds down, if they haven't stopped yet they better get in soon, it's hard to get 10 minute race times here, we see Dakota in that second place, he was behind these guys a couple of seconds, so I have to think it's going to be a long race.

The time here he is, he hasn't pitted yet, he's done 45 46 second laps here, so Dakota is getting a long race time trying to get maybe a run time on the L Pit Stop strategy. , so crucial in these long finals if you can run longer on one tank of fuel you will make one less pit stop, that's faster on the track and you will have a better chance of staying out front. He is second right now. Let's see if Dakota gets in. Noy stays outside. Look at it. It doesn't look like he came. Ah, it seems. like he came in on the last lap with a 50.5, possibly 34 and 1/2 to go, it's the IIA boots that are in control of this one, he has a 9 second lead.

Fen is now behind rivkin as we pick up our race leader boots. Elliot has a lead of 9 seconds on rolk and 11 seconds on boots rivkin coming down the hill through our start and finish section and has to fend off one of his slowest laps of 468 now that he's got a good pass on Rifken, so what David Rona fol is second now. Dakota f goes third third 3.8 seconds behind ronal ful Elliot David Dakota Spencer Juan Carlos followed by Brandon Rose his top six good look here in the pit of despair earlier in the week very difficult section they went and did a quick prep mid day today and I fixed a couple of really bad spots, so it was a little bit easier for these guys, but there are still a lot of very treacherous spots on the track that these guys have to be aware of while maneuvering at a very high speed and backing up.

Now I'm arguing that he's doing the wall run in a tough spot because from where the drivers are, they miss the car for about half a second as they drive by and Dakota talked to us about that after his b Main and said it's a tough spot. , but there really aren't many other places to put the car right now cross the new line Fast lap for him 44.9 taking off a few more tents there in second place Rona's people go back to the boots now up front see him working on that high side there, soft easy boots, a very accomplished runner in his own right, has been doing this for a long timetime and here, with control of this land, the Nitro

challenge

, a brilliant last ride so far, here in the first 12 minutes, you have control of the boots all over the line This time for 448 last lap this 44.9 7.3 seconds to well from d David Rona here is Rona on the other side of the line his best lap 448 7.2 seconds ahead at this moment for Elliot boots on Rona folk Fen 4 seconds behind him Juan Carlos 4.2 seconds behind Fen now rivkin goes to the four as Juan Carlos loses a couple of seconds and drops to fifth CA, looking smooth and easy here on the last lap 45-1, trying to improve that, they need to stay in that 44 if they want to close this gap. to now tear up the top side of the track to our corner, jump downhill, go over that roller that gets tricky as the run wears out a bit, no slaps, crosses with a 458 Rona Fulk with a 448 Last Time by this time for 449 so rolk ducked his head now the traffic in front of our leader boots will approach some traffic here as we follow Fen here towards the six pack nice double double double around the pin that the rear section is F right now in third place, four more seconds behind your leader boots Elliot, we resume the battle here between the fourth place rider, Spencer rien, as we say he takes him off the track, Juan Carlos Kasas Carasco will take over that fourth position. now rivkin fighting Elliot boot still in front we pick up F here coming towards this difficult double you can see him reaching he couldn't get there now behind he leaves It's all about momentum in that double section trying to run When Z reaches the finish line star , we will check the gap between him and Rona right now, 6 points 3 seconds, since the fan loses two seconds. time in that turn to Rona people, Rona people, we pick him up here when he enters that double rear, he is wrong a little, but it saves him.

We see him sizing up some traffic back here as they pass through the hole in the Des Spair section jumps in comes out ahead David Rona, a world champion traveling here from Sweden, multiple European champion titles, he's one of the best in the world, he loves coming here, he has one here at the DNC before he has a big hill to climb right now. At the front, Rona, ranked fourth, got off to a good start, sitting in P2, 4.6 seconds behind the leader. A. Popular money on that negative side comes through doubles, a small wing or nose.

High there, not where you want to be, back up here while we grab Dakota Fen going into that. Rhythm section Same thing, there's a little Alto nose in that entry, but it's not too bad Dakota fan looking good with those yellow orange and blue wheels swinging towards the chassis 30 minutes left, we're 15 minutes away, time flies when you're having fun at 15 This 45 minute file is Fen Canas folk boots followed by rivkin your top five. We should have another round of pretty quick pit stops here, with the exception of maybe Fen, which lasts about 9 minutes. Yes, it will be very interesting to see when F arrives.

Upstairs there is a pit lane, they are starting to happen now lane is busy, rolk checked the pit stops. I think I think the boots did too. Traffic here so Fen sees partk and raaa leaving right behind. F here enters and exits the pits on the green, I think it was Rog, we are following F here coming out of the pits with traffic in front of him. He has third place. David Arona, fog right behind him. Remember that F hasn't pitted yet, so F is going to pit and give up. that second place for Rona fol as traffic again, okay, they give space to the leaders, that's the way to do good sportsmanship.

Here he comes, fan, we're left with the fan, is he still coming in? Oh no, he will stay there, he will definitely go. make at least one less stop than the rest of the group, fuel economy and mileage are very, very important, but Dakota has to keep the rubber on the ground, he's ahead of third place, ronaf people, oh, Rona, falls a little short there, but saves it. He hasn't been good on that one-two, we've seen a couple of mistakes when we've been attacking him in the same area over and over again so we're going to have to clean that up, the talent of these drivers is absolutely incredible, they're at Pinnacle. of this sport paid professionals travel around the world to compete in races in the four corners of the world the DNC is one of the most important here the World Championship which will be held later this year in Brazil these guys work hard and they are all going to be there for the title this is the other title that these guys want on their mantle the

dirt

Nitro challenge this is the 25th edition of this event and these guys are the best in the world Dakota begins to separate from Rona Fulk before their pits in F Last Time of 453 Rona folk 467, but the class still starts in the field and Dakota is wrong, he can't afford to just go up that place there to Rona Fork, since Charlie just said he was building that Gap that I could have. maybe he will go back and forth after his pit stop, but it's not going to happen now, as Rona's people manage, so we stay with Dakota and find out that he should arrive very soon for his fuel stop .

She should have been doing about 18 minutes when she came in. at nine the last time we were left with our defense, the Phenom as they call him should come in, no, he makes one more boot in front with a lead of 6.8 seconds. I think that was the emergency lap, so I had an emergency lap that gave it an allowed Ral of 54. People still need to pit. They are at the 18 minute mark. He's been doing nine more rounds, so he should come in this time, but it wouldn't be the first time I've made a mistake. Well, I have traffic right in front of me.

As a fan, they give him room to see Ronal Fog not far behind him, but he's going to lose contact with him during the pit stop, but again they're off-cycle here, as Dakota can run a little further. Above that double back very well that time we are going to check here we follow him, we are going to see if he is going to enter the pits. The Lane pit stops are the most exciting part of this race and Theota Fend is fine, he's up there. fuel tank down and away, looks like a crash when leaving. Pitman was not happy, he immediately dropped the headphones to apologize for the bad throw of the gun, there we will see what the difference is this time, so he was.

At almost the 19 minute mark a few seconds before, so there are still the boots, although the boots ahead now, this is a battle. Here the boots had a 51 second lap, I didn't see what happened here, but this is the battle in which the Europeans have a showdown. throw here in California ddnc maybe boots with a bug that allowed Rona folk to close it, they clashed almost at the same time so Rona Folk closed that gap but the boot says wait a second let me cluck my thoughts and start checking again. 456 to 461 The Rona people stay in touch even though the American style of racetrack is totally different from what these guys race in Europe.

In Europe, they are very compact and well maintained, sometimes they have multiple surfaces with some bricks or some stones, things like that that they love. Coming here to compete against the Americans on these big jumps, these big open up and down slopes with elevation changes, it's a big challenge for the Europeans to come here, but these guys are now showing that they have the skills to pay the bills. right now. front boots and Rona people sitting with one and two boots starting to separate a little, continually going a little faster than the Rona people in a pair.

Here, the T couple stands on the tarmac and some traffic approaches. here they are certainly calling it oh a whip, very good, except, you will see as soon as the car starts to have WR in the air, they will immediately turn the wheel to try to correct it, they will apply a little bit of throttle. gyroscopic effect get the attitude they needed to be in right boots coming here in traffic here there you go W boots try that inside line been running that one most of the time most of the other guys take a wide line the high side to a little bit softer than the bottom, but if you do the bottom with the right tempo, you get the lead to the inside and you can take that or hold those positions if you want, but it's really risky.

We've seen a lot of guys come in there and I had a really hard time on the main bottom so hopefully that works out for the boots going through that rhythm section, the holiday package and around it, he's coming up here with Ryan Lutz in a moment. Ryan Lutz sitting in tenth place. Right now we are 21 full, 24 to go in this 45 minute final, it's Rona ful Ben Canas and Brandon Rose's boots from 14th to the top five, get some Brandon getting back on the line here in the F lap times , you see that he had a 50 and then a 50 three, the start was 53, so they had an accident at the exit of the pit lane that cost him some time to defend himself, about 12 seconds behind our leader and not being able to recover more a tenth or two here and there. so start a mission right now, without leaving anything out, that mistake the defender made about four or five laps ago, is going to be very, very costly, you lose about 5 seconds in a pit stop and he can last longer of execution.

He will have one less stop, but that 5c drop can cost him a lot, something we have seen come true here in the Pro division, you can't count on mistakes from our leaders. When these guys come forward, they enter a completely new situation. The zone is like a change and the mistakes disappear, they become very consistent, they calm down and start making moves. It may seem easy when you are watching it here, but the skill of these drivers is difficult as is this race track with everyone. The ruts and the bumps that just grew throughout the laps have been done thousands upon thousands of laps on this race track here this weekend, so it's a big challenge for these guys and in this long race they appear new grooves and new potholes. learning to drive around them there so I can keep the wheels on the dirt boots that just took another hot lap on the 445 course that last time across the strip Elliot boots driving the sworks car taking a trip here from the UK TQ ​​forward here, like I said, they love coming here competing against the Americans on these very difficult lifts and big, big jumps, something they rarely see in Europe, they love it and he's proving he can absolutely do it.

It's ready to feed our The leader arrived in the 23rd minute, Mark, and there was a good start from the work team and they arrived right behind the traffic, the start is so important, oh no, oh, and it's waiting for him, very good sportsmanship, I think that was one of the difficult points to get through. The traffic is that the Rhythm Section can very easily mess up getting into some traffic there and it's kind of a catastrophe because there's not a lot of Marshall positions towards the middle, it's Elliot's boot going in and out of the hole at the moment. he has a 4.7 second lead last time, things are going to change a little here again, pit stops change everything oh we have a flame out in the back someone oh Elliot it's opening up check Behind them, someone ran with fuel or something. the back couldn't see who it was, boots now through the start finish gate crossing the line to keep the lead, was he able to make the pit stop and hold it or rul came in right behind him, it's a 3 gap seconds.

Right now that moment between the boots and Rog could have been Heckard with the flame, yes Hecker is getting weaker and harder, that's not Hecker's car, although that is a and it looks like KCK could have fact and Ricardo Bon, is Juan Carlos 230 or 2030? go 20 minutes and 30 seconds AG go Elliot followed by Rona F and Juan Carlos Kass Brandon Rose still completes his first five three-second gaps between boots and raaul little risky going down the hill last lap for boots on the pit lap of 52 This Time of 459 oh cons in the pits, difficult break there for Frankie Fingers started third overall, the young man I think is about 14 years old here with the professionals, he is doing a very good job qualifying for the championship final here being a great young man. great future for that young driver we have 20 minutes left here 25 in the books the boots are already in front 2.8 seconds ahead look at Rona's people entering the chicane that's Rona, we pick him up right there, there isn't that big of a gap between the boots and ronal F fan now a seven point, there is orange and blue for Kota Fen in this fight.

Kota Fen gets back into the mix now as he applies the pressure on the back of rolk fend has another pit stop ahead of him but it probably isn't time. Another two minutes, so Rulk hopes he can get on the field so he can stop dealing with this, but oh bobbl, a small mistake turns into several seconds of loss when Fen enters that rhythm section, latches onto the pipe and gets into the wrong lane. Allthe boots are absolutely locked. down in front, with 19 minutes on the clock, here 45 minutes, it's absolutely a grueling battle for these guys, it's cold up there in the driver's place, a little bit windy, but these treacherous conditions on this race track , the track continues to erode along the route. of these long final boots across the line that time for a 460 we'll check the Gap to Rona people here comes David Rona people across the line it's four .3 seconds the Gap then Fen behind him followed by canash and Rose come to F suffering the pr there 48-7 on that lap after that little bubble as he finds himself now working some clean traffic and Fen out of that back section, we boot back, work through the pit of despair, coming out here until the fall of the interlock. even the gravity cavity, nice interior line, I still think it's smoothing it out.

One of the favorites for this event, starting P5. Ryan Mayfield, he had a rough start and things didn't go well for him, he hasn't been able to climb. In the standings, he is champion 17th and 18th this weekend, as he won the truck division and is now sitting here in 10th place. He's the greatest champion in DNC history, but it's not going his way while he's running around. At this point, in 10th place, it looked like he was defended with a mess as Mayfield passed, but maybe there was 17 and a half minutes left. Elliot is in front. 5.4 seconds is the gap he was able to pull away from.

David Rona Fulk on the last lap, 44 laps to David's 46th lap, so there's 2 seconds to the good, he takes the lead on the line moving the S Works cheese to the front that time for 44-6, let's see what got ronal fox this time. grona Fu crossed the line 462, so two more seconds for the good for the boots, absolutely putting the hammer down trying to get away from the boots R foul in a class of its own at the moment, 44 like it was something easy to do for everyone else struggling to get in. The 45 Elliot boots push very hard here and want to make that long flight worth it and bring home the big trophy.

See him taking that tight line that used to go all the way, but now it's so bumpy that it's now nice and smooth on the inside, we see many others starting to copy that line as we're left in boots crossing the finish line. stellar now 16 1 12 minutes ago a 455 is a 7.1 second lead for the boots, that was another thing Dakota shared with us. in his main interview b is that he gets a lot of information from pit lane about where the other guys drive to see what the lap times are, they are told certain sections that they should try something different and that can really change the game here 16 minutes There's still a lot left to do in this Dakota F trying to mount a charge to attract our two best Raa doing everything he can to keep in touch with our leader.

Roots now to that inner line back off when we find I think this is rulk. and on the roller, he jumps and jumps there last time for the RONA people a little better 455, but the boots still beat him. with a 452, so even when he makes big boots, he makes it a little more, 15 minutes left and 30 seconds here in our championship final, it's the boots in front, Ral's folk fan, Kass ribin, Rose boro, followed by Lutz lime, Fuller, Mayfield Wiggins, Contra Bon and Horn ah. There it is again, Rona's people had no luck with that double butt, one more mistake, maybe the biggest one they make, a little cheetah turn, oh man, bad luck, that'll give Elliot boots more space between it and the field boots that come. through the back section on the corner table, the start and finish area goes last time by 446, this time by 45-0, starts in front now 30 minutes down, 15 to go and we go back a lap with that ronal foul accident on his 474th lap now Let's see how far the rear fender is.

This time for 5.9 seconds you go back two laps and see F at 51 six, perhaps the pit lap that would have been about the time they were due at minute 27. Mark if things develop Dakota should have one less hole, but Let's see that we have 1430 left, there are still boots in front, with a lead of 9.7 seconds, here come the boots to the star finish line, cross the star finish line, go and look. like you're in Boots you need fuel with 14 minutes to get to a good rescue pit a look from the mechanic nice soft boots don't push it go into the pits keep the lead that's what a 9 second gap will do for you Dakota F that time , 7 seconds behind Rona, we are 14 minutes from the end.

The boots go down the hill, up and over the roller to the pit of despair, the middle high side, there are flat lands at the top, going up just a little, but they didn't. the boot had a hard time on the lap it was a 463 I think this will be his exit lap after the pit stop, we'll check it out here, a little wheelie there, passing around the back, comes to the Finish Line star boots with his pit stop, this time for 516 we are going to check with Rona folk Rona folk this time for I think ronal folk also came in, they are practically on the same strategy in the pits, yes, Rona folk waiting on the other side of the line that time in 514, so almost identical survives there, Gap. 9.1 seconds with 13 minutes to go we follow Ronal Folk here on the x-ray taking a trip here with his father Pierre from Sweden R Folk looking good right now on that roller jumping to the spare pit next in line behind him , I think it's Dakota making some waves there 1.9 behind Rona ful it's Dakota behind him rovol boots Fen Juan Carlos can M Spencer rivkin your top five rulk he got on the pipe in the cross bend it looked like he was in an accident but RC God He's smiling at him and there's Rona who's just done his 44.5 fastest lap, there's a gap of 8.6 seconds between him and his leader Elliot Boots and there's Mr.

Boots Boots entering the pit right now, there's going to be a little bit of traffic. in front of it and it's scary, these guys know what to do, but if the traffic goes a little sideways, anything can happen with 12 now on a race clock, 12 minutes to go, the start is getting a little late short again, you see even the most dominant driver. On the track he still has some difficult sections where he is almost having some pretty terrible accidents, but he just got over the accident. 452 La Time Front Toe Boots The folks at Rona just did their hot lap one.

AO with a 445 comes this time with a 45. Flat recovering a couple of t 11 minutes and 40 seconds to go here we follow Rona on the left side up here, that has been his heel on this race track that second cost him a couple of crashes on the WS so far 8.4 behind the boots Pick up the boots now as you work up the right side of the track up and over that big double, smooth and easy at that moment, collecting your thoughts, hitting your marks, The car now looks much more in control than on Elliot's previous lap. He had a lead of 457 just over 8 seconds when he entered the pack of six across the initial finish line.

We've got Rona there, Rona, on the other side of the line, 7.5 Rona, making up a second on that lap with Elliot boots and you see Fen now through the six. -pack behind Rona the first three starting to move away from the field, you see a 23 second Le from the boots to Juan Carlos in fourth place 10 and 1/2 minutes to go in this 45 minute final, we have boots. Rona ful fan Kass followed by rivkin, then Joe borner followed by Rose, then there will be a big bubble there with the boots, he goes for the Wild Ride going down the corner jump, but he can hold on, we don't see Rona's people who closes 484 which cost him 3 seconds 4.3 en The gap is now going to inspire the people of Ronal, without a doubt, Pierre, his father, is in the headphones communicating with his driver telling them what happened.

This is going to reignite the fire under Rona's boots. We are now at 10 minutes. Mark, we have 10 minutes. To go, Elliot pulls out in front, pushing more traffic away from him. It was a lead of 4.3 seconds. Last time, Elliot certainly has to reestablish focus here up front. Str will close to four points, rivkin, so Al starts looking to get back to fourth place in the six-pack there you have it, rivkin, a great sport gives him a lot of room here is Rona, the people in the six-pack, the last time was 4.3 seconds. Rona, pushing hard, cleans the section of her Achilles that the double butt has been giving her. troublesome boots kiss the pipe oh best of luck land on the inside pipe Flirting with disaster here with only 9 minutes left in this 45 minute finale one more stop for F boots probably also thinking about his last pit stop rolk probably It will be right behind the boots and that will be the end of the tape.

About a lap and a half to go until Elliot. boots coming out of the pits to take a step forward very well, we are 38 seconds away from reaching his lead last time by 9.3 seconds, which is the biggest margin he has had over the center side double boots pushing hard now the greatest advantage he has had in the entire race. Long likes the sound of it crossing the line for the penultimate time. Boots now on the last lap.

We are 19 seconds ago. Ellot boots in front. He has worked very hard this weekend. One of the hardest things to do in qualifying has earned the award. pole position was achieved with brilliant driving the next most difficult thing is to convert that first qualifying place into a victory here in the Nitro dirt challenge a 9 second lead Last time half a lap left for the official UK driver an absolute victory brilliant drive here from Elliot Boots can you get it home on the last two corners to the back, double e? He has one more corner ahead and one more decision to make: will it be paper or plastic because this one is in a bag?

Elliot kick your DC champion, congratulations to Elliot, high five and hug everyone in the driver's seat, boots on the radio, that's the UK way, great charge from Dakota fend to go from 13th to third plus 10 positions for the Phenom's great journey there. Rona folk to finish second boots was on a mission in a kind of space of his own there in the lap times rivkin qualified second did not have the start he needed fell to fourth to fifth Brandon moved up with an incredible Drive 14 Ryan Lush from tenth place the grid to seventh Fuller moving from sixth to eighth Camden Line with a great race from 15 to 9 Mayfield is not the race he was looking for from fifth to 10 Wiggins eighth placed finished in 11 Berton will finish in that position 12 Frankie fingers in 13th place Aiden Horn on 14 and Juan Carlos Cañas Carrasco with some bad luck starting early Scotty is in the driver's stand and he's going to talk to our winners as we head to Scotty in the driver's stand Scotty take him Okay, we get all kinds of hugs and high fives here.

Elliot boots 45 minute drive almost perfect, absolutely brilliant job, yeah I mean it was a pretty tough 45 minutes on that track, it was for me when I walked around the track and took a break. It was the bowl section, you had to run an R line through there, so I changed it and it worked for me, but I see that David kept me honest throughout the race. He couldn't relax me because we were like Cat and Mouse would catch up to me and then I would get away from him a little bit, so I made sure we stayed clean.

It probably wasn't the fastest car on the track, but we stayed consistent until the end, absolutely, you were very consistent, especially in your pit entry and your pit times, you made sure it was very, very smooth, that's it. very important and you mentioned changing that line when entering the pits after you started doing other things. The guys started doing the same thing, yeah I started going like we would normally ride B on the way out but I made the track walk before even that seemed pretty crazy and from here you lose your car so I thought D , mix it up and, you know, it goes in and then it comes out and it worked well.

You've been doing this a lot. You have won many races. How does this rank in everything you've won in your career? I mean, yeah, it's just amazing, I mean, I haven't won this one, I got a second one once, so yeah, it's cool, we have Silver State and now we have a DNC, come on, now you have a lot of people you want to thank . who do you want to thank, yes, I mean Luigi Marco, all the guys at Works, uh, the guys at Red, you know they support me great, Nicola, who is here, you know, taking care of us with the tires, the tires were connected during the whole race, the engine was sweet, I was able to get out of this corner and clean that double like an electric car uh, which helped a lot um and you know, everyone who supports me, my fiancee at home, she may be asleep, no I know, I hope I'm awake, see that, uh, my little girl, uh.

They know I love them both and, yes, they know everyone, everyone who is hopefully watching and supporting me. I thank all my sponsors and you for making this, you know, making it possible. These are the guys behind you, they got a big hug here. Absolutely the 25th anniversary of Elliot Boots. The name goes on the trophy. Well done. Congratulations. I love it. Congratulations. You can see the excitement of these guys, Joey and Aaron, here celebrating. It's good to have Elliot here. Well done. Okay, let's bring in David Rona. people here David, way to goking, okay David, well done, it's a grueling 45 minutes, man, you went toe to toe with Elliott, take us through that race, yeah, I mean, first of all, uh, awesome , Elliott has to give up, give up.

For him, super good handling. I tried many, many last ones just to push a little harder, but the track bit you right away. He gave up like a couple seconds there, with about 10 minutes left and I thought he might know. Do two or three push laps, try to get a little closer to put even more pressure on it, but no, it stayed super consistent and, uh, it was really a battle, my car was running incredibly well, I learned a lot from last time. The night, um, wasn't so good in the Eugy main race, so we learned a lot and we brought that here for this main night, uh, and the car was amazing.

The tires are working very well, the race hot, the super soft ones and, um, the course on the engines, the same P strategy, so we were there with 5 seconds difference throughout the race, give or take five to 10, let's say , so I'm very proud anyway, since this is my second career with X-rays, you know. I haven't been able to do a lot of testing, so I've been relying on what the other guys have in the past, let's say, and I'm looking forward to being able to start driving outdoors at home, so I can get even more track time because I see that There is a lot of potential in the car and the package at the moment, so I hope we can continue working for the big one in September, but you know I am very happy with second place.

I fought hard. and uh gotta get it ready for AIT again, super awesome trip there, well you did absolutely great, do you want to say some thanks, some thanks for the support you get, yeah sure, I mean I'd like to thank everyone x - ray team Bayer, the hoodie family, you all know, making me feel welcome and supporting me with everything I needed here for the first few months, then of course coming here, especially the USA team Paulse cell ., He also rented his electronic truck. I'm here for this race, so thanks to all those guys in the x-ray pits this weekend and everyone watching from home.

I know I have a lot of followers in Europe, especially in Sweden, so thank you all for watching late. nights and uh and sharing me, so uh, thanks to all my family, girlfriend, everyone at home absolutely and finally you have to thank uh dad in the pits, uh, he was, he was on it, he did a great job, I'm sure he and Paul were on it, I don't think we definitely didn't lose time in the pits, so what we lost was on the track and that's what happened, it happened to everyone and I couldn't close it, but you know I'm going to take a second here today any day considering how it was yesterday and I'm very happy with that work, congratulations, well done, thank you.

Okay, well done, let's get Dakota. Okay, Dakota. For this guy, he had a great day, it was an incredible hill to climb, but you were able to do it coming out of the starting 13th place main B, take us through that race, yeah, definitely, definitely not starting. where we wanted um I knew going into this main was going to be a little tricky at first um I was lucky you know there were a couple of crashes and I had enough time to be able to build up and I made the right decision I was able to move uh I think I moved somewhere like the middle group after the first lap and then I picked some guys and was able to get to the top. five there quite, quite early, in the first few laps.

I had already wasted a lot of time. Elliot came to the door move and was going really fast and then stayed super consistent the entire time. I approached David a couple of times. but yeah the same thing he had, he had a lot of speed and this track guy bites you, you saw the same thing last time, try to push those two tents and that RIS level just goes up a ton so I had a few balls , but considering where we came from, you know, uh, it ended up pretty decent, take us through your pit strategy, obviously, it took longer than the other guys, tell us your thoughts on it, yeah, it's been an amazing program working with Ultimate Nitrux, um since then.

I switched so I could do the longer stops and I knew I was definitely going to need that to get to the main one and it got me a little closer, luckily it wasn't worth it but it takes a long time so I'll take it and we'll keep charging good, you made a great job this weekend, say hi to any guys you want, yeah man thanks to the whole T team, we've been working hard. weekend, uh, Mike and Chloe in the pits all weekend, sure, uh, I had the pit stops, which made sure I know what the fuel is and stuff, um, like I have to throw the wheel to get that fuel consumption, so, uh, kind of adjustment. so thanks to J Concepts, Jason and Paul, for their amazing support, Ultimate Nitrox, like I said, Nitro pro serers, pro performance.

Only everyone, He follows the support. I appreciate it incredibly, well, tremendous weekend, congratulations, great, thank you, Dakota fan, you worked very hard. three from the climb you have to take that and a huge thrill from these drivers, they've got the drivers from Europe, come here, take one, two, that's incredible and just a brilliant drive from Elliot Boots, just a brilliant , brilliant Drive, patience, methodical and him.
