♪ - This is Relative Race!

And this season, we've underlined the word race in a big way.

♪ Nine days ago, it all started here at Virginia International Raceway.

♪ Now, our final two teams will have to take their racing skills to a whole new level on the largest indoor multi-level NASCAR track in the world.

Welcome to Supercharged Speedway in Montville, Connecticut.

This half-mile track is where the checkered flag will fall and one of our teams will walk away with $50,000.

♪ Nine days ago.

Who is ready to get this race started?

[cheering] A green flag dropped.

- Go!

Dan: And four new teams sped away on the journey of a lifetime.

- All right, let's get them!

- Crazy.

- Blow their doors off!

Dan: The race would throttle each competitor.

- Ooh, slow up!

- Hey, miss.

- Can you help me?

- This is not getting us where we need to go.

Dan: As every skill would be put to the test.

- All right.

- We got it, baby, we got it!

[grunting] - I hate that stupid thing!

Dan: And every emotion would be challenged.

- I think the stress of everything really got to her.

- Nine days of challenges.

This one is the worst one.

Dan: Each day, some teams inched closer to the finish line.

- Let's go, go, go!

- Ayy!

- All right!

Dan: While other teams inched closer to elimination.

- Highway six is closed.

- What?

- Oh, no!

Nicole: What time is it?

Dan: You have picked up your first strike on Relative Race.

But every team was able to grow a more complete family tree.

- JD, I'm your sister.

- Oh my gosh.

- We share the same father.

JD: I haven't, on this entire trip, allowed myself to think that this was even a possibility.

Jenn: Yeah.

- And it was incredible.

DeShae: Until you stand in front of someone who says "I'm your father," and you see the emotion, I just can't describe it.

This is something I dreamed about for so long.

So long.

And it's here.

Anitra: I felt at peace.

It's a stillness within me that I haven't felt before.

♪ - Welcome to our family, beautiful DeShae.

Anitra: When I hugged my dad, I told him that I loved him.

- You're so beautiful.

JD: I felt at peace and more complete than I knew I could feel.

DeShae: I met my mother.

Debora: I loved everything turned out so good for her, really.

Dan: However, midway through the race, on day five.

- Ready for this?

JD: Go faster.

Dan: All the teams were in an even deadlock with one strike each.

- Go, go, go!

Ray: Our mission today is to not get a strike and to get on that road.

Dan: But Teams Blue and Green pulled ahead of the pack.

It's been a really good day for Team Blue.

Anitra: Finishing first, this is as good as it gets.

Dan: As the days passed, more strikes added up.

Jenn: There's a lot on the line today.

We can't get another strike, because then we'll be out.

- Come on, y'all, let's go!

Dan: On day seven, Team Blue had immunity.

- Immunity is a gift.

Dan: Forcing Team Black into a last place finish and elimination.

Team Black, your race has ended.

But a surprise ticket allowed them to continue for one more day.

- Relative ticket.

So we can meet another relative.

Dan: By day nine, the competition was fierce.

- This is the last day.

We gotta be ready for anything.

- We woke up focused.

We're ready for it.

Dan: With Teams Red and Blue only one strike away from elimination.

- Well we gotta turn around.

DeShae: Turn, turn, turn!

- No.

Dan: They fought hard to stay in the game.

- We're going the right direction, yes?

Dan: But after a navigational mistake... Nicole: Town Hall Drive.

Ray: I hope we're not going the wrong way.

Dan: ...Team Red received their final strike of the race.

Ray: My competitive drive will always make losing hard, but these nine days have been incredible.

Team Red.

We are out.

Dan: Now, Team Green and Team Blue are headed to Connecticut, where they will face off one final time for $50,000.

For the past nine days, you've all been frantically racing across the country searching for new family.

Well, today, the racing heats up, and the stakes are higher.

You've all been successful in obtaining the ultimate prize, which is finding that new family, but today, only one of you will walk away from here with $50,000.

Are you ready?

All: Yeah!

- Good.

Before we get started, though, I wanna know, how has the journey been to this point?

DeShae, Chris, really DeShae, this was a journey mostly for you.

Were you successful in that journey?

Has it changed your life?

- This journey really has been truly life-changing.

I've been able to meet both father, mother, aunt, uncles, lots of cousins.

Found out I have two half-siblings, and I just could not have imagined it had gone any better.

Dan: And Anitra, I'm assuming the same is true for you.

- Absolutely.

I mean, I've met a sister, plenty of cousins, my father.

I've had so many questions answered.

This has been incredible, really.

Dan: Well, the journey has been amazing for us to watch as well.

So again, congratulations.

Let me tell you more about today.

[intense music] ♪ On this half- mile track, we will spread out three different challenges with five total medals handed out.

It's pretty simple.

Whoever has the most medals at the end of the day will walk away with the $50,000.

Each of these challenges is going to test your racing skills in a unique way.

And, yes, on the final challenge, you will be racing head-to-head, all around this track.

Today, we're actually racing for $50,000.

So, think about that throughout the day.

Well your first challenge of the day will take an arcade classic to new heights.

Get ready for challenge number one: Relative Race Skee-Ball.

Are you guys ready for this?

All: Yes!

- Let's do this!

♪ Dan: The teams' first challenge today is R Skee-Ball.

This will test their ability to operate and jump a high-speed remote control car.

If you've ever played skee-ball at the fair, it's the same idea.

Teams will race their cars to a ramp and launch them into the air towards targets with different point values.

The cars must land inside the targets to count.

Teammates must take turns driving.

Teams will have twelve jumps to score the most points and win the medal.

♪ All right, teams, round one.

Paul, you're gonna start.

Chris, you're gonna start.

Remember, you can only go when that light turns green.

- We're about to jump these cars into targets.

These don't look like any RC cars I've ever played with.

- Are you ready?

- We're ready.

- Ready.

- And you're waiting for the green light.

Let me tell you, it's nerve-wracking.

♪ [ding] Dan: The light went green, and boy, blue launches off in a big way!

Drops into the 50-point bucket, while Team Green came so close but bounced out.

- Go, go.

I hammered it, and flew off nowhere near where I was aiming.

Paul: I lined my car up and kept my eyes on the prize.

It feels pretty good to be up 50-0 in the first round.

♪ Dan: All right, ladies, are you ready?

- Yes!

- Round two starts on the green light.

DeShae: I'm not the best at driving these things, so we're about to find out how this is gonna work out.

- I'm nervous because I haven't driven an RC anything, let alone jumped them.

♪ Dan: Green is off, and green gets in the ramp first.

Blue, once again, dives right into the 25-point barrel.

- Dang!

- 25 points scored in this second round, and so blue is starting out strong.

Anitra: Second round, I pocket 25 points.

We're feeling good.

DeShae: If you even look at the steering, it is going off the rails.

It is so hard to keep that car in a straight line.

♪ - Gentlemen, are you ready?

- Yes, sir.

- Ready.

Dan: All right, on the green.

♪ [ding] Green gets out first, but blue lines up straighter.

Green this time drops himself into the 25-point barrel, and they picked up some big points.

♪ - Are you ready, ladies?

- Yes.

Man, this time, they just completely demolition derbied themselves out of the round.

Anitra: Round four, DeShae rams into me and we crash!

Paul: So I can see what kind of game they're playing.

- At this point, I'm realizin', the chances of me scorin' are pretty slim to none, so, I'm just gonna try and knock her off the track to make sure that she doesn't get any points.

[ding] ♪ - Ohh, yeah!

I feel like we got the hang of this now.

[ding] ♪ - Swish!

- Yoohoo!

But then... - Dan.

- Just when you thought you might be out of this race, the rules have changed.

Chris: There's a twist.

Who would've guessed?

- Shocker!

- Shocker.

- Now, for the final remaining round, your point values will be doubled.

- All right.

- 'Kay.

Paul: When we're the team ahead, I don't really want double points, 'cause that gives the other team the opportunity to catch up.

Chris: Higher point values mean only one thing: time for a comeback.

Dan: That's not the only thing that will be doubled.

Now, each of you will have your own car, and you'll all go at the same time.

[laughing] Chris: The cars have doubled, so now instead of having two cars on the ramp at one time, we have four.

Anitra: I felt like it was crowded before.

Now it's gonna be ridiculous.

♪ DeShae: When we hear the change in the game, we immediately take to a different strategy.

Anitra: Our strategy?

Same as before.

- It's all about getting in a good position, so that we can get those higher point buckets.

- We're gonna keep hittin' our sweet spot.

The only thing we're gonna worry about is scoring.

[ding] ♪ Dan: Okay, we're on now four cars launching, and they, oh, wow!

They are just bouncing off the netting, but none of them land in any of the point barrels.

Anitra: Zero points across the board is an advantage to us.

Because we're already in the lead.

[ding] Dan: They're off.

Chris: We successfully pushed Blue out of the way.

- Way to go, babe.

Chris: And I ended up scoring 25 points.

[ding] Paul: Team Green's startin' to come back.

♪ - Ugh!

- Yeah!

Paul: We just need to hold them off a few more rounds.

[ding] ♪ Team Green: Ugh!

[ding] ♪ Ohh!

- Teams, this is the final round.

Team Green, you're sitting on 110 points.

Team Blue, you have 225 points.

- At this point, their points are so much higher than ours that we have to score the highest point buckets to even have a chance at winnin' this thing.

- We're gonna hold 'em off.

This is good.

- But there are enough point values out there for Team Green to still launch themselves into victory lane.

♪ The most important round of this entire challenge will start on the green, stand by.

[ding] Anitra: Our strategy going into the last round is to beat them into the 50 and 100.

- Green, all of them go strong.

DeShae: We have no choice but to go big and outscore them on this last run.

Paul: If we all go for the same bucket, maybe we all knock each other out.

Nobody scores, we still win.

♪ [excited screaming and laughter] ♪ DeShae: We're just gonna shake that off.

They got the first medal, but we're gonna take the next ones.

- We win the first challenge on Day Ten, so we're really feeling incredible.

- Well, in the end, Team Green, you scored 135 points.

Team Blue, you picked up 225 points, and with that, the first medal of this final day.

So now, I got a question.

How well do you really know this show?

Have you seen all of the seasons?

- Yes.

- Yep.

Dan: Good.

Because your knowledge of Relative Race is about to be put to the test.

Anitra: We know past episodes and seasons of Relative Race, but we also know that Team Green knows them too.

- I am so excited that there's a trivia challenge on Day Ten, because I'm pretty much the Relative Race encyclopedia.

I know all the things about all the things, so bring it on, this medal's comin' to Team Green.

- So follow me to your second challenge: the Relative Race Race.

♪ ♪ ♪ Dan: The second challenge today is Relative Race Race, a combination of racing skills and relative race knowledge.

Four stations have been strategically positioned around the track.

To get to each station, teams must use different modes of transportation.

A shopping cart, a Zorball, a giant trike, and a scooter board.

Each station has two envelopes with Relative Race trivia questions.

The first team to arrive randomly chooses one envelope.

Answer the trivia question correctly, and you move on to the next station.

An incorrect answer sends the team back to complete the previous leg all over again.

The first team to complete all four stations and cross the finish line wins the medal.

- One challenge down, and the next one lies right in front of you.

This challenge will test you physically, as well as your knowledge of this show.

- Team Green doesn't look concerned at all going into this challenge.

I don't know what kind of preparation they've done, but they look pretty confident.

DeShae: This is right in our wheelhouse.

We studied every single episode at least twice before we came on the trip, so bring it on.

Dan: Are you ready for the Relative Race Race?

All: Yeah!

- You will load up and you will head out when I drop your flags.

♪ On your mark.

Get set.

♪ Go!

♪ - How well do they know this show?

That's what I'm interested in.

Anitra: "On Season 2 Episode 7, Kayla Williams' journey peaked when she finally met her sister, father, or uncle for the first time."

Season 2, Episode 7.

Kayla was... but I think it's her father.

- Are you sure?

- Yeah.

[buzzer] All right.

Back down the hill to the starting line.

Chris: "Who was the first Relative Race contestant to meet a parent for the first time on the show?

Kayla Williams, Team Blue, Justin Stuart, Team Green, or Joe Greer, Team Black?"

DeShae: Joe Greer, it's Joe Greer.

[ding] Both: Correct!

DeShae: The answer that we picked first was Joe Greer.

I knew that he was the first one to meet a parent.

It was very emotional, Team Black that season, and they were one of my favorites, so I knew that answer immediately.

Dan: Wow.

Chris and DeShae got the very first question correct.

DeShae: Next we're in this giant Zorball, pushin' our teammate to the next question station.

- Season 4?

- No, no.

Baby steps.

C'mon.

Don't go too fast.

♪ Hi, everybody, and welcome back to SuperCharged Speedway in Montville, Connecticut.

And joining me right now for some expert analysis of the cars and the track itself is our own SuperCharged expert and race driver, Shawn Monahan.

Shawn, thanks for joining us.

- Well, Dan, it's a pleasure to be with you today, thank you for having me part of this, uh, spectacular event.

My name's Shawn Monahan, and I've been doin' circle track racing my entire life.

I've got multiple championships, uh, many different divisions, a wide variety of motorsports in general.

So when it comes to racing, there really aren't many situations that haven't come my way.

The track here at SuperCharged is simply amazing.

This here is real racing.

They've got some really slick corners, and some really high-speed straightaways.

You've gotta know when to lift, you've gotta know when to brake, and extremely important: to hit the boost button could be a deciding factor in today's race.

The boost button on the steering wheel simply lights up after the competitor has run a few laps of good consistency.

At that point, they hit that button, take off, and you can really make some powerful moves.

Uh, you've gotta be on your toes at all times.

It could be quite entertaining.

Dan: Well, Shawn, this is the perfect venue for this final day.

So tell us about the track and the cars.

- Well, Dan, these cars can reach speeds of excess of 60 miles an hour.

Now, we probably won't see those speeds here today because this track is so tight, very slick racetrack, and for competitors who have never been on here, we're in for a special treat.

- All right, Shawn, some good stuff there, let's talk about the specifics of this event.

Teams will compete for three different medals during the race.

The fastest overall combined time as a team, that's one medal.

The second medal will be awarded to the fastest individual lap, and the third medal goes to the fastest pit time.

Now, in the pit, they'll have to change two front tires on one of their cars, however, both team members must be in the pit together to begin the pit stop.

And Shawn, what do you think is going to happen to these competitors who have never pitted a car like this in their lives?

Shawn: They better be prepared to work as a team, and not to fumble under pressure.

[engines revving] Dan: All right, our teams are at the starting position and are ready to attack this course.

How we determined the starting positions, or the pole position, is by the number of first place finishes they had throughout the course of the last nine days.

Team Green finished in first three times, however, Team Blue finished with four first place finishes, and they are starting in the pole position.

They're ready, they're revved up, and when they see that green light, they will be off.

♪ On your mark.

- First thing I do, pass Anitra.

[on radio] I passed Anitra!

DeShae: [on radio] Whoo!

- He passed me, but I could still hang with him.

[on radio] Chris just beat me.

- [on radio] What?

Chris: Okay, that's one down, one to go.

Dan: Chris!

He has overtaken Anitra and did that fairly easily.

♪ Shawn: Fifteen laps, a long ways to go, as they go through the first incline for one of the most dangerous turns on this speedway.

- Paul was out in front right now, but Chris is close behind and almost passed him in this hairpin corner.

Chris: Now I've been on a go-kart before.

All I have to do is stay confident, communicate the whole time, and we'll get it done.

[on radio] Keep it goin' babe, you're gonna catch up.

- [on radio] Whoo!

We got this.

Chris: [on radio] Yep, we got it.

- I am taking Chris's lead at this point, so I know now is my time to pass Anitra, and as soon as I saw her snake to the right I went straight around her and took the inside curve.

Shawn: DeShae has made a pass right here, she has passed Anitra.

[DeShae squealing] DeShae: And then I knew it was just pedal to the metal from there.

As long as I kept going fast and tried my best to catch up with him, I knew that we would come out ahead.

[on radio] Yeah, baby!

Chris: [on radio] Sounds like you're havin' fun.

Shawn: Well, looks like they're just barely getting the hang of it, Paul looks to be our early leader.

Paul: I knew those first few laps were critical, so I concentrated on doing everything I could to keep Chris from passing.

Anitra: [on radio] We risin' up, baby, we risin' up.

Paul: [on radio] That's right.

Chris: It's definitely our strategy to get in pit lane first, so it was the absolute most important thing that I could do to pass Paul before that pit lane opened up.

Dan: Keep in mind, our teams must complete three laps before the pit area will even open.

And Chris is side-by-side with Paul right now, they rubbed edges, this is an interesting battle right now they are literally just inches off each other.

Shawn: I really think on these first few laps Chris is just sizing up Paul and seeing exactly how he can make this pass and take off with the lead.

[suspenseful music] Chris: We were neck and neck, I keep trying to gun it passed Paul.

[metallic crash] [crash] [groans] And of course, I punched it too hard.

[crash] [groans] And I flew into that wall.

[crash] Paul: Chris wiped out behind me, now I gotta chance to break away.

[suspenseful music] Dan: Paul emerges first, Chris is behind him and Paul spins out around another hairpin corner.

Paul: But of course I spin out.

Now we're right back to battling it out side-by-side.

[suspenseful music] Anitra: [on radio] I almost spun out trying to drift.

- [on radio] Stop trying to drift.

Anitra: [on radio] [indistinct] Chris: [on radio] Don't forget your boost on that longback straightaway.

- [on radio] Yep, 'bout to be there, 'bout to boost.

Chris is telling me exactly where to boost on the track.

Chris: [on radio] Do it!

- [on radio] Boost!

[whooping] Anitra: The boost button worked really well, I used it every chance I got on the straightaway.

[engine roaring] [yelping] Dan: It loooks like Anitra is actually closing the gap between her and DeShae.

[action music] Paul: Hangin' onto that lead, I'm feeling really good right now.

- At this point, we know it's all or nothing, we've always had a plan.

Passing Anitra first, then passing Paul, get in the pit lane first, we gotta run it all the way through.

Dan: Look at Chris, hugging on Paul's tail right now.

The key again is how to approach those turns.

[tires screech] Shawn: A spinout!

Dan: And Chris has overcome Paul and taken over the lead!

- I took the turn and it felt like my back wheels spun out behind me.

Chris: Luckily, Paul hadn't quite figured it out, one of the turns he took the inside a little too fast, he stopped moving and I kept on going right around him.

[on radio] Passed.

- [on radio] Great job.

[Chris whoops] Just don't forget to tell me when we're pitting.

Dan: Pit row is now officially open, you know that they are communicating with each other saying, "Should I pit?

Do you want me to pit?

How far behind me are you?"

Chris: So here it is, fourth lap, turns ahead of Paul at this point, so I'm feelin' pretty confident that as long as I can keep it straight, I'm gonna get to pit lane first.

[on radio] How far back are you?

-[on radio] I'm close, I'm where we started.

- [on radio] I'm going into the pit, it's open.

- And in fact, Chris has come in to pit.

Remember, he cannot start anything until DeShae also comes into pit row.

DeShae: Chris beat me to pit lane but my goal is to just get there as soon as possible.

- [on radio] Okay, I'm in the pit.

- Chris is just standing by just waiting for DeShae to enter into pit row.

Shawn: I can imagine what's going on right now as he's frantically waving her in to make sure she doesn't pass him by.

- [on radio] Go go go!

- [on radio] Do I just come in, where is it?

Where do I go?

Shawn: She doesn't quite know where she is.

Dan: She slowed down.

She doesn't know where she is on the course, she slowed down thinking she was at the pit row.

DeShae: [on radio] I just keep comin' around right?

- [on radio] Go go go!

So I'm sitting in pit waiting for our pit clock to start, but it can't until DeShae gets here.

Meanwhile, she's burning time out on the track, adding time to our overall clock.

Shawn: So crucial.

Dan: That's cost her several seconds right there.

Shawn: So crucial, let's see if she's actually going to miss it, she's being very cautious.

- That's it, that's it, keep goin'.

[screaming] Dan: In this pit challenge, teams are working with a socket wrench and a floor jack.

They must jack their car up and change the front two tires on one of their vehicles as fast as they can.

The team with the fastest pit time will take this medal.

DeShae: Once we get into the pit we have to change the first two tires, we beat them once before doing that so I have no doubt we'll do it again.

Chris: Come on, get out.

- Tryin'.

Talk to me, tell me what I need to be doin'.

- Grab the other tire, oh no, grab the jack.

Just like day one challenge, we actually had really good communication.

Pump down, pump down.

There you go.

♪ - One of the three medals is the fastest overall lap, while Team Green is in the pit we're goin' for it.

- [on radio] Now you can go super fast 'cause he's not here.

Take advantage of this time.

- [on radio] Awesome!

Anitra: [on radio] All we need is one medal, baby.

One medal.

- Go ahead and put one tire on the other side.

All right, grab me the other tire.

- Here.

Chris: I start working to get a tire off, she's got the other one waiting for me in her actual hands.

I mean, it was pretty seamless.

DeShae: Good job, babe.

Come on, remember, fast.

- [on radio] Go past me if you need to.

Paul: [on radio] Give me a good lap now.

- Paul really is flying around this course.

Shawn: Paul actually took not only massive amounts of time off of his own lap time, but he turned a faster lap time than Chris.

DeShae: Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, you got this.

We got this.

- Got it, got it.

I think it was really a great pit stop, but there was one little hiccup.

[buzzer] Dan: I just heard from the pit, Team Green has failed their inspection.

All their lug nuts are too loose.

Anitra: I passed the pit, and see out of the corner of my eye that Green is having a problem with the pit inspector.

[on radio] Let's make sure we get that pit stop right they had to redo theirs just now.

DeShae: So learning from our mistakes I asked Chris just to double check the lug nuts because we cannot afford to lose any time.

[ding] Dan: Team Green has passed inspection and scrambles to get back out on the track.

- Go go go.

- [on radio] This is super fun.

[whooping] Chris: [on radio] You good?

DeShae: [on radio] Yeah I'm good.

- [on radio] All right, babe, it's just you and me in for the win.

- Chris and DeShae are out of pit row and that means that the pit area is open for Team Blue should they choose to pit on this next lap.

- [on radio] Whenever you go in your pit stop you go first.

- [on radio] That's right.

Dan: Here comes Paul into the pit row.

Anitra is right behind him.

- A major savings of time as they pull into the pit area right next to each other.

Anitra: All we need to do to win this is get one more medal, the one we feel strongly about is probably the pit stop.

Okay, that one's too tight babe.

- The bolt?

- Yes.

Paul: All right.

Dan: While Paul's doing the pit work, Chris is powering his way out here on each and every one of these turns.

Chris: Now we've got the track all to ourselves, this is my time to get that fastest lap time.

[on radio] I'm pushin' it hard now.

- [on radio] It ain't over 'till the fat lady sings, baby!

Let's do this!

- [on radio] Fifty grand here we come!

Paul: You got it?

Anitra: I can't put it on.

Trying to put it on.

- All right watch out watch out.

Let me get in there.

Dan: It looks like pit row right now, they are continuing to struggle.

- You know for the most part, Paul has done most of the work.

Paul: Get the bolt for me.

Anitra: Where is it?

- It fell right by my foot.

Chris: [on radio] They're still in the pit.

- [on radio] Awesome.

- [on radio] I'm gonna lap 'em again before they leave.

[ding] Dan: Team Blue has passed inspection.

Anitra: All right, put it back.

- I feel pretty good about our pit time.

- I felt fine about it, I mean sure it could've gone better I guess, but I think we did well.

[on radio] Okay, you go first.

- [on radio] Lapped 'em.

- [on radio] Awesome job, babe.

Dan: Paul and Anitra are a power couple, and just as we say that they are back out on the course.

Pit row is closed for the rest of this event.

[suspenseful music] Chris: Now that I see Blue Team is out of the pits I've got one more goal in mind, I'm goin' around this track faster than anybody.

Paul: With only a few laps left, we have to give it our all and sprint to the finish.

[Chris groans] Anitra: [on radio] How do you think we did on the pit stop?

- [on radio] I think we did really well.

DeShae: [on radio] How you doin' Chris?

- Feel like I'm doin' good.

Shawn: The lap times right now are extremely close between Chris and Paul, anybody's race with still about three to four laps to go.

Chris: We gotta catch 'em, we gotta catch 'em.

Paul: [on radio] Go kill this one, okay?

Kill this lap.

- Chris is coming up hard behind Anitra.

Chris: I'm right behind Anitra, though, I'm gonna pass her.

DeShae: [on radio] Get it babe!

Hey babe!

Dan: He has overtaken Anitra and so with less than two laps to go, Chris continues to push things hard.

Anitra: There was a moment towards the end of the race when I felt like my time may affect our combined time, so I wanted to check in with Paul to see if he was still okay with not winning.

[on radio] You still good if we don't win?

Paul: [on radio] Don't talk like that.

But yes, I am.

Just have fun.

Anitra: [on radio] I am.

[suspenseful music] ♪ Dan: And Chris is officially the first one to complete the Relative Race Grand Prix.

Chris: [on radio] I just finished fifteen.

[screaming] I've gone in first, now it's time for DeShae to come in and bring it on home.

DeShae: [on radio] Paul's comin' up on me.

Paul's comin' up on me.

Chris: Paul is right on her heels.

But I keep tellin' her, you better not let him pass you.

Come on, show me DeShae, don't let Paul pass you.

DeShae: [on radio] Am I behind you?

Chris: Yeah!

Right here.

DeShae: So it was good to be done, felt a sense of relief just to be done.

Chris: I don't know what the times are yet, but I know we had a blast and we did the best we possibly could.

- So yeah, we're just waiting for results now.

[whooping] Paul: [on radio] How you doin'?

- [on radio] I think they beat us on the laps too.

I keep teling myself that we only need one more medal, but I don't know.

[on radio] All we need is one medal, baby.

One medal.

- [on radio] Yes.

Dan: Paul is entering his final few turns of his final lap of the Relative Race Grand Prix, and he is pushing every single pound of power out of his car.

Paul: I crossed the finish line, and my race is over, but Anitra can still grab the fastest lap medal.

[on radio] Go get me a good lap, baby.

Go kill this one, okay?

Kill this lap.

Anitra: I am.

[suspenseful music] ♪ [clapping] DeShae: Good job Anitra.

Dan: Anitra is in and the race is over.

Paul: In the end when Anitra's pullin' in I saw a look on her face and I just wanted her to know and I wanted to make sure she knows that I'm proud of her and everything is cool.

Chris: Good job, girlie.

DeShae: Good job.

- After Blue Team finally pulls in, you know, we give them high fives, congratulate them.

But it's not an option for us not to win all three of these medals.

There's no way we could have done any better than what we did.

Now the only thing left is to walk up to the podiums and see who took it home.

Dan: What remains to be seen is who has won.

Not only the overall competition, but the single fastest lap, and the medal that will be awarded to the fastest pit time.

♪ [intense music] ♪ It has been a long, arduous ten days, and for the first nine days you overcame challenges and eluded strikes all in an effort to find family and change your lives forever.

Today you had to overcome different challenges, with the promise of $50,000 to the winner.

DeShae: The anticipation to the medals ceremony, I am a nervous wreck.

We have to take all of these medals in order to even win, and we're starting two medals down.

- I'm confident that we both did our very best today, since day one our motto has been leave it all in the field.

And today, we left it all in the field, so the chips fall where they do.

- In that first challenge, it was all about remote controls.

DeShae: Good job, babe, good job.

- In the second challenge, it was all about your knowledge of the show.

Chris: Joe Greer, correct.

- In the Grand Prix, three medals up for grabs.

Anitra: [on radio] All we need is one medal baby, one medal.

- [on radio] Awesome!

- Chris, I could not believe the focus in your eyes.

We could read it.

- [on radio] I passed Anitra!

[whooping] - What kicked in for you there?

- I knew that we were, you know, against the ropes, and the only way to win it was to take it all the way home.

You know I had a little two-seater sports car back in the day, but these were may more responsive than even that was.

- Often, the difference between winning and losing can be mere seconds, the key difference is in your pit stops.

Anitra: Okay, that one's too tight, babe.

- The bolt?

- Yeah.

- All right.

- Paul and Anitra, how did you feel you did in the pit area?

- I felt like we did pretty good for the most part, there was a point where the car slipped off of the jack for a few seconds.

But I was able to lift it up really quick and put it back on.

- Ultimately, it's all up to the time.

Now it's time to find out who won the medals and who will walk away as our new Relative Race champions.

- We see the medals on the table, all five of them in fact, and we already know that two of them aren't ours.

Dan: In our first challenge, Team Blue, you were amazing.

- Boom!

- Yeah!

- And you picked up our first medal of the day in the Relative Race skee-ball challenge.

Please come forward and receive your medal.

Congratulations, Paul.

- Thank you.

[dramatic music] We knew that the first medal was coming, but recieving it felt really good.

- In the second challenge of the day, Team Green got off to an early start.

- Go.

You got this.

[grunting] - But Team Blue never gave up.

[screaming] Congratulations on picking up another in our Relative Race Race.

Anitra come forward.

- Seeing Team Blue get their first two medals just makes you feel defeated.

Trivia challenge should have been our medal, but ultimately that simple mistake could have cost us the game.

- And it all comes down to the Relative Race Grand Prix.

In the Grand Prix, three medals are going to be awarded.

The first medal we're going to hand out is to the fastest pit time.

Our next time awarded is for the fastest overall combined time, and to the final medal, the single fastest lap of the day.

- Standing in front of Dan, I'm feeling okay.

If they can come back and sweep and get all three medals, they deserve it.

DeShae: We really pushed ourselves on this race but we know we're at a disadvantage so we're just kind of hoping for the best.

Dan: The first medal we're going to hand out is to the fastest pit time.

Team Green, you came in you worked as a team, and you seemed to get out relatively quickly.

Will that make the difference, we're about to find out.

Team Blue, you finished in four minutes and seven seconds.

- Seems kind of fast to me I guess, and honestly I don't know.

- All I know is, we didn't fail inspection, Green did, we have to win this one.

- Chris and DeShae, you finished your pit stop in two minutes and fifty-nine seconds.

Congratulations, you receive the medal for fastest pit stop of the day, please step forward.

- We got the first medal, it was such a relief.

Anitra: We were really counting on the pit stop medal, now this race can go either way.

DeShae: At that point I'm thinking we may still have a chance, so we're still in the game at this point.

Dan: Our next medal awarded is for the fastest overall combined time of your team out on the track and your pit stop.

- Unfortunately we already know how the combined time medal's gonna go.

- Team Green, you finished your fifteen laps in a time of fifty-six minutes and fifty-three seconds.

Team Blue, your combined time was sixty-three minutes and fourty-one seconds.

- We knew it was coming because we both finished last.

- Team Green please come forward and receive your medal.

- We're tied up now with Team Blue and it feels amazing, we're still in it and we just need to bring home that final medal.

Dan: We've said it multiple times throughout the day, the difference in racing is often mere seconds.

And it all comes down to who recorded the single fastest lap of the day.

Chris: I know that we had a faster pit time, we know that had a faster overall time, the thing that we don't know is how well the other team did when we were in the pit laying.

- I didn't want it to come down to the last medal, but now it all rests on a single lap.

- Chris, you recorded the fastest lap for your team, Paul, you recorded the fastest lap for your team.

The difference between the two of you was less than four seconds.

DeShae: Four seconds, makes the difference between winning and losing at this point, so it is make or break it.

- Paul, your fastest lap was ninety seconds even, and that's fast.

Chris, your fastest lap on this track today was eighty-six seconds and sixteen one hundredths of a second.

Team Green, you have picked up the third and final medal.

[crying] You are our Relative Race Champions, you have found new family and you have won $50,000, congratulations.

DeShae: I was beside myself, I didn't know what to do, I'm in complete shock.

Normally I'm loud and hollering and screaming, I couldn't even make noise.

- Congratulations you guys, congratulations.

DeShae: I'm in shock, complete shock I just covered my mouth and I just kept looking at Chris like we really did it.

I cannot believe that we pulled it off.

- This check is for $50,000, and officially crowns you the champions of Relative Race season six.

Please take your check and get on the podium.

Anitra: Throughout this competition we have been sort of head-to-head, us and Green.

But all of us were very close on a personal level, so we're happy for them, they earned it.

We love you guys.

When we started this journey we told ourselves that if we won, we'd be able to adopt a child.

But Paul and I have won, we've won family.

So much family.

And knowing that we have their support has encouraged us to move forward with the adoption process regardless of the race results.

- We've won more than anyone will ever know.

- I have to say, that winning feels good but I've met so many family members, um, we've had the best experience and that's the ultimate prize.

It's completely life changing.

- Relative Race Champions!

Congratulations everybody.
