## Transcript

### Start

Girl: Alright everyone, the chase for the final four continues as the field is underway at Talladega!

### Lap 46 Crash

Boy: OH A MAJOR CRASH IN TURN 3!

Dog: OHHHH MAAAAAANN, EMBER TOOK A HARD IMPACT INTO THE OUTSIDE WALL!! THAT'S GOING TO HURT REAL BAD!

Girl: D. J. Carter, April Brenda, and M. C. Constanza are also the ones collected in the wreck.

Cat: That's a total of five trucks involved.....but my gosh, Ember is the one that we are concerned about.

Mouse: These trucks haven't changed much since 1993, even with the new generation coming next year, so the chances of getting hurt in a crash are around 60%.

Boy: As you have mentioned, Cat, Ember is out of the car, badly shaken up and hurt, but Brenda appeared to have been knocked unconscious. Ember is seventh in the chase standings as of this race. Her missing the next race might be costly.

Girl: I might as well agree with you, as the red flag is now out.

(Later)

Boy: We have an update on Brenda and Ember. Both drivers are sent to the Alabama track hospital for further evaluation, we will let you know when more updates become available.

### Lap 52 Crash

Boy: ANOTHER ACCIDENT! THIS TIME IN THE BACKSTRETCH!

Girl: D. J. CARTER, HIBISCUS MARTER, MING GRACE AND HUON LIA!

Dog: D. J. Carter crashes again!

Mouse: Carter and Lia will be out of this race while Marter and Grace will continue.

### Lap 60 crash

Boy: Caution on the racetrack!

Girl: For what?

Dog: Looks like the 41 of Hermano Souza has some damage, Ari Hakulinen and Noah Maes are stuck in the grass.

Cat: I think we missed a wreck on the backstretch.

Boy: It was confirmed by our cameramen that the 41 of Souza has blown a tire and Hakulien and Maes had nowhere to go as they were entering the backstretch. Unfortunately we have no replays due to the angle, but we have at least confirmation.

Girl: All three of these trucks will not continue on in this event.

### Lap 81 Crash

Boy: Daniel Khan has taken the lead after starting 31st on the grid!

Girl: What's more ironic is the truck that he's driving has the number 34 on it. This is the team number's first race since 20-

Dog: SORRY TO INTERRUPT, BUT THERE IS ANOTHER ACCIDENT IN THE FRONTSTRETCH!

Cat: Thank goodness it was only two trucks involved, those are Kira Foster and Ivo Evers, the pole sitter unfortunately.

Mouse: Both drivers are able to continue on.

### Lap 93 Big One

Boy: Welcome back to ESPN, where unfortunately the red flag is now out for a huge mess involving several drivers.

Girl: And six of these guys are Chase drivers, who have strong runs in the going.

Dog: As stated earlier, no Chase driver has won a Talladega race ever. And it looks like no Chase driver will ever do such a thing.

Boy: Here is the list of the drivers involved in this major wreck.

Cars Involved in Lap 93 Wreck:

* Senne Thiry
* Paulo Pereira
* Ivo Evers
* Ray Banfield
* Peter Ryan
* Derek Drake
* Paavo Virta
* Gaspard Courbet
* Ben Aberbach
* Pasqual Valcareggi
* Yudai Fujita
* Benito Perez
* Andreas Knutsen
* Karol Baran
* Eli Rodrigues
* Rodney Koekemoer
* Juan Miguel Hidalgo
* Kira Foster
* Ivo Evers

Girl: That's almost 20 trucks torn up in this major wreck. It's most likely we will have a red flag due to the amount of damage.

Dog: Alright, let's take down the list and see what happened.

(Replay)

Boy: It seems to me that the 22 of Pasqual Valcareggi was trying to make it four wide in the tri-ovial, but he just clips the 20 of Senne Thiry before spinning out.

Girl: Look at all these trucks getting collected. They just had no time to react.

Dog: Did you see the 04 of Ivers go over? Seems like he got T-Boned by Karol Baran.

Cat: Andreas Knuten also goes slightly airborne for a second.

Mouse: Chase Drivers Fujita and Ryan are all collected in this.

Boy: We'll watch the perspective on one of these trucks, and that is Yudai Fujita.

(Onboard: #56 Yudai Fujita)

Boy: You can see him try to avoid all the mess........

Girl: .......until.......POW! He cannot see Baran in time and that's his day done.

(Live)

Boy: All in all, every driver involved in the wreck, except for Peter Ryan and Derek Drake are out of this race. This means only 19 trucks are left racing.

### Final Lap

Boy: ONE MORE LAP TO GO!

Girl: DANIEL HASLAN IS STILL UP FRONT! GIUSEPPE ATA IN SECOND!

Dog: WHO'S GOING TO WIN!

Cat: A REMINDER THAT NO CHASER HAS EVER WON AT TALLADEGA. AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN TODAY AS MONIKA KINLEN IS ALL THE WAY BACK IN FOURTH!

Mouse: ATA IS TAKEN FIRST FROM HASLAN!

Dog: DON'T COUNT HASLAN OUT YET AS WE ARE ENTERING TURN 3!

Boy: HASLAN IS GETTING PUSHED BY KINLEN! LUKE ASTHFORD IS ALSO IN CONTENTION AS WELL!

Girl: IN TURN FOUR!

Dog: FOUR WIDE ENTERING THE TRI-OVAL! IT'S GOING TO BE.......

Boy, Girl, Dog, Cat, Mouse and Cheese: HASLAN!!!!!!!

Boy: HASLAN OUTDUELED ATA, KINLEN AND ASTHFORD TO TAKE AN UNEXPECTED VICTORY!

Girl: By 0.0012 centimeters!

Dog: Unbelievable!

(34 Team Radio)

Daniel: THIS ONE'S FOR YOU, MR. KICKO!

Daniel's crew chief: Nice job Daniel. First win since 2018!

(Live)

Cat: Historical moment, has been denied!

Boy: Cat, stop with the puns, no one likes these puns to be broadcasted live.

Cat: Sorry, I was trying to point out the obvious.

Girl: What Cat was saying is that a Chaser almost won a Talladega race, that was with Monika Kinlen.

Dog: And yet we will have to wait until 2024 for that streak to end.

Boy: In other words, this is Hassan's second victory in his entire Truck Series career, first being in 2018 at Pocono. And as he said, Master Kicko, or Kung Fu Sock as we say it, would have been proud of Daniel.
