Speaker 2 (00:36):
Todd veiling.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
Yeah via Skype. For now, we're gonna have to figure
something out. Hi there, everyone, thanks for tuning in. Todd
Bailing in beautiful, warm, sunny Phoenix, Arizona, joined by my
three partners spread out all over the great Cheese Land
of the Midwest, starting with Brian Schmidt up in Utzburg
with skins and night.

Speaker 4 (01:00):
Brian.

Speaker 5 (01:01):
Morning, we get a road course extravaganza today, two road
races in a rowan foxhing better than sitting on the
couch before we hit into the middle of March madness.

Speaker 3 (01:12):
There you go, PJ Noodleman on the other side of
the state over there in Trimplow High.

Speaker 6 (01:17):
Hi there, sunshine twenty seven on my side of the state,
and ready to watch some left and right turns today.

Speaker 4 (01:24):
Yeah, that's that kind of day.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
Our own Dan Margetta, the dangerous one himself from Saint Francis, USA.

Speaker 7 (01:31):
Hi, Dan, Hey, good morning and another pretty good day
for a road course. Data to spend your time watching that.
And at Austin at Cota, we get what a shortened course.
Now they cut about a mile off this track and
added some laps to kind of make it better for
the fan experience.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
Yeah, from three point four miles to two point four miles.
But that what they did was eliminate long straightaways, which
Kyle Busch says will lose a couple of passing zones.
It went from sixty eight laps to ninety five laps.
Stages will be at lap twenty, lap forty five. And
just to make sure the rule of the year is

(02:06):
we're not gonna stop. Wait a minute, we are going
to stop at the stage. Points right, Dan, Brian is
the one that keeps me up on all things I
need to know.

Speaker 5 (02:16):
Road course, Yep, yep, we race. We take the breaks
just like we did. I believe Road America in twenty
two or twenty three was the last time they did
not take a break or indie red. After that, they
had a couple of races there where they didn't have
any breaks and they were pretty strung out, so we
went back to the breaks.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
They are really slow at those breaks, so they can
play as many commercials as they can, and it really
you're paying for a ticket which now includes all these
built in cautions. I think if you're gonna do that,
you should stop with the lap counter. You're gonna fight
around for fifteen minutes and play commercials, Fine, we'll get
back to the race in just a couple of minutes.

(02:56):
Don't count the laps till we start racing again, and
then it'll make a lot more sense to me. We'll
be televised on Fox today. But as we have been
mentioning here, it's a great double header today, Indy cars
are going to race at Saint Petersburg that will take
the green flag at eleven thirty, also on Fox, and

(03:17):
then the green flag at the Circuit of the Americas
in Austin, Texas. Will be a two forty nine Central time,
late start, seventies five percent chance of precipitation. Looks like
an absolute perfect day for a race out there. They've
had their share of crappy weather in the past, so

(03:39):
it's great to see that they're going to get it in.

Speaker 4 (03:40):
It's going to be good.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
It's a twenty three to eleven front roll, Tyler Reddick
eighty eight point zero nine five miles per hour as
your polesitter, with Bubba Wallace right alongside. So it will
be entertainment at its finest. I see, and Dan, you're
the one that pointed this, but I had no idea.

Speaker 4 (04:01):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
Connor Zillish, who yesterday won the Exfinity race after getting
shuffled to the back, you had a penalty, had to
go to the back and came all the way to
the front to win, is the favorite to win in
his first race. Can that possibly be right?

Speaker 7 (04:16):
I don't know how they figure that out. The oddsmakers
have him set with Shane van Gisberg and it has
like five and a half to one favorites here and
the kids never won a Cup race. He's eighteen years old.
I mean, he is a phenom. I mean, I it
ever been in a Cup race. Oh. I've seen him
a couple of times now. When he first came out.
I saw him run Road America in the Transam series
and people say, hey, I gotta watch this kiddy something else.
I'm like, all right, we'll see Bud, he's you know,

(04:38):
he's won an Inxfinity starts at road courses in his
first time. The Cup's a whole different story, though, I think.
I mean, in Cup, even if you are that good
and you're good, there's somebody, somebody's gonna crash you just
because they don't want you to take in your place.
I mean there's part of that too, So you got to.

Speaker 4 (04:50):
Think of that.

Speaker 7 (04:50):
But starting fourteenth, I guess it's gonna be something to watch.
But I'm not sure i'd make him a favorite. I mean,
I don't think who's you want people to bet on.
I won't you make him a little bit more a
long shot?

Speaker 4 (04:59):
Would?

Speaker 3 (05:00):
He would think? So, Brian, where did this is Zilich
kid come from? Exactly?

Speaker 8 (05:04):
But he does a lot of INSI racing.

Speaker 5 (05:06):
I mean, he's won the twenty four hours of Daytona,
he's won the twelve hours of Seabring, he's been winning
in the trans Am series. So he's a road race
feet on, and that's his that's his bread and butter.
So last year he made that start in the at
Watkins Glenn and won his first start in an x
Finity car.

Speaker 7 (05:22):
Grew up racing gold carts in Europe and that's kind
of where when you were young, and he beat a
bunch of F one guys that are currently have one
series right now, So that's why everybody said he was
pretty decent. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (05:31):
I believe his family has ties to Wells Fargo Bank,
so I.

Speaker 4 (05:34):
Think that also helped.

Speaker 8 (05:35):
Everybody always needs to know where the cash comes from.
So there's a.

Speaker 3 (05:40):
He's eighteen, think about this. That's that's pretty damn incredible.
I guess the next question though, and I don't know
which of you can answer this. He's a road course guy.
Does this remind you of a younger version of SVG
because he's a road course guy and we're watching him
learn all the track racing at the age of thirty seven?

(06:02):
This kid is half is the age. And what does
he do on ovals? Do we know very much about it?

Speaker 7 (06:09):
I don't know if he's had many ovals starts. He's
had some track stuff, right PJ.

Speaker 6 (06:12):
Yeah, he's done some short track stuff, and he's he's
not afraid to rough people up, which it's not going
to work as well probably in cup as it does
on the short tracks.

Speaker 5 (06:25):
And maybe that's why the odds are where they're at
because everybody remembers two years ago when SPG showed up
at Chicago and won the opening race there. Albeit these
are completely different circumstances. That was a rain event on
the first time ever street circuit. This is on a
on a road course and really good conditions. So I
don't think you can really tie the two together.

Speaker 7 (06:44):
But look, last time we had an eighteen year old
making a cup debut Joey Logano like or something like
that M sliced bread.

Speaker 3 (06:56):
Well, this kid, certainly, I mean, it's kind of hard
to argue is town. But it's gonna be again a
lot like SVG. It's going to be fun to watch
his progression as he learns the oval track business. SVG
has been a pretty quick study, but at thirty seven
years old, his best days maybe behind him already. Boy,

(07:18):
it's hard to say on a rookie, isn't it. We'll
see it's all. It's fun to watch, that's for sure. Also,
before this day is over, we would like to get
everyone's take if you don't mind calling us and sharing
at four one four four two seventy nine on one
your thoughts on last week's Atlanta race that Christopher Bell

(07:41):
won because he happened to be in the right place
when the bell rang, Bell rang, Get it bell?

Speaker 4 (07:48):
Uh, I listen. Uh.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
It's not that Christopher Bell wasn't up at the front
where he needed to be at the end of the race.

Speaker 4 (07:54):
What pisses me off as NASCAR's.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
Inconsistency once again, even though half the field agreed with
the call from NASCAR and the other half is still
whining about it. But if we're gonna whine about anything,
we might as well whine about Rich Bickle's favorite race
car driver, Carson holsovar And what would really like to
hear is some thoughts on the kid. I will tell

(08:17):
you right now, it's hard to argue that there's talent there.

Speaker 4 (08:21):
There really is.

Speaker 3 (08:22):
And you know, back in the day when Kurt Busch
was coming up, how many of you remember the same
exact things being said about him.

Speaker 4 (08:32):
Ah, A, he's out of control.

Speaker 3 (08:34):
Boy, oh boy, he can't he does know when to
make a move, and he's just look at him, he
just sticks the nose in there where it doesn't belong and.

Speaker 4 (08:41):
Bah blah blah, blah blah blah, all the same things
they said about him.

Speaker 3 (08:45):
They're staying about Carson hoolsovar and we're talking about kirk Bush,
a former champion.

Speaker 9 (08:54):
As a growing manufacturing company, we needed security solutions. We

Well, it's a pretty exciting day for us at LTN,
and I have to tell you why. We are very
proud to announce that we have acquired acquired a new sponsor,
a new partner in the program. It's very it's an
honor for us to have Chimney Mechanics as a new
sponsor of the program. You may remember back in the day,

(11:27):
now this has been several years ago, but it used
to be called someone when Jasper Drangler who owns it
now his dad used to own it, was called America's
Best chimney. And I believe they were a sponsor on
Lowell Bennett's car and several other cars back in the day.
These days, and they've been supporting short track racing for

(11:50):
over forty years. Most recently they're the sponsor on Andy
Monday's car. But Chimney Mechanics installs and services would natural gas,
propane and pellet stoves and chimneys. They take care of
the entire state of Wisconsin, the up of Michigan and
northern Illinois. They repair all brands and all models of

(12:12):
fireplaces no matter where you bought it. If you make
sure you mention LTN when you're ordering custom chimney caps,
chimney liners, chimney fire repairs, water stonework, water leak repairs,
replacement dampers, new construction, insurance work. They do it all.
No job is too big or too small. Chimney Mechanics

three or check them out on Facebook.

Speaker 4 (12:48):
Jasper.

Speaker 3 (12:48):
Great to have you on board, we need it, We
love you, and welcome. It's pretty pretty cool and uh oh,
we're on Fox Sports nine twenty. There was some kind
of an issue beginning of the program. We mentioned briefly
on that portion that we're racing at Circuit of the
Americas today and that they've changed the track. It was

(13:09):
a three point four mile road course at the cut
a mile off of it, they took away long straightaways,
and according to Kyle Busch, they've lost a couple of
passing zones. That's the last thing you should do on
a road course. You need passing zones. Otherwise we're a
little more like Formula one, where they follow each other
a road all day. Well, we've had a pretty good

(13:32):
racing there so far. Connors Zillish one yesterday by the way,
a Carson Quopple. It's hard for me to believe how
good he has been right out of the gate he
has been an oval trak. Did we know he was
so good on road courses? I don't remember.

Speaker 8 (13:50):
No, probably not.

Speaker 5 (13:52):
There's some comments in there that I think it was
Matt Weaver that talked to Travis yesterday. Travis was helping
the Sun run the cars to a race. Asked him,
you know what kind of school did he go to
to become such a good road racer?

Speaker 8 (14:03):
And he goes he hasn't. He just adapted to it
that well.

Speaker 5 (14:06):
I mean, he had a couple of trans am starts,
but his trans am start two years ago road America
was very brief because he got wrecked right away in
the first lap. So it seems just pretty natural to me.

Speaker 3 (14:17):
Our cheesehead buddy, Josh Blicky had some problems with the
same idiot that ran him, that rammed him while he
was coming off the track at Daytona, remember, and that
kid came through the infield and blasted the living daylights
out of him. His name is Chris Right, And there
was an issue in yesterday's race, which I didn't see. Brian,

(14:39):
perhaps you want to fill us in on that. I
don't What was his issue, Well, it's.

Speaker 5 (14:44):
Just it's been every race, I mean every race. Chris
Wright spen the issue with him lately, and yesterday was
the same thing.

Speaker 8 (14:50):
He spun out and got it tag Josh.

Speaker 5 (14:53):
Josh was running decent at the time, but he lost
a lot of time on road course racing, you lose
a lot of time on the on the truck when
you get spun out and Dan he put a pretty
pretty pointed.

Speaker 8 (15:04):
X post up about that.

Speaker 4 (15:05):
Correct.

Speaker 7 (15:06):
Well, it's about time he kind of stands up for himself,
I thought. You know, he put basically a post out
that said day we had problems the five car. He
had an issue and got into this and we lost time.
He didn't name the kid, and the kid responded, oh,
I got loose and you finished me off. Well, okay,
game on now, buddy. You know here's what really happened.
You spun out on your own, he said, and you
kind of stepped on it and then you hit me

(15:26):
on the way by this is third week in a row.
He finished it up. I said, maybe you should go
back to IMPSA and race with the doctors and Dennis
and the l MP series or something like that. Which
thought that was great. It's about time you need to
stand up for yourself.

Speaker 3 (15:38):
With oh man, that's that's something else. Well, Chris, right,
I don't really know where the guy came from, Brian.
I guess he did run some super laid model short
track stuff, huh.

Speaker 8 (15:50):
I guess yeah. I don't know a whole lot about
him either.

Speaker 5 (15:52):
He just he seems to always have issues every time
he gets out on the track. So obviously, you know,
but you're gonna have that Nick Finity Series, and it's
it's hard to stay away from some of that stuff
when that's around you out there.

Speaker 3 (16:03):
Makes sense, all right, So let's talk a little bit
about Atlanta. First of all, I thought it was an
absolutely fantastic race until the last lap. I didn't really
like NASCAR pulling the plug so early. They should have
let him race back to the stripe. That's just me.
I'm not in a car that could have got run
over by someone. So you know, it's easy to sit

(16:23):
out here and look at it and say that, but again,
it's the inconsistency that that really is what's frustrating, that's
part of it. The race itself was really the racing unbelievable.
I mean I was blown away by how fun that
track has become after they, you know, all that complaining
we really need this old surface to chew up tires

(16:45):
and make a race with all these extra you know,
things to worry about tire where. Yeah, but oh my god,
the racing was was really really fun. So there's that.
The thing is Carson Wholest of our sure made it
interesting to watch. He's yes, he's a young, raw talent,

(17:07):
and yes he's still learning basically the NASCAR game. I
guess he must have learned that you don't bump draft
in the turns or you could take the NASCAR Cup
champion out and therefore have a lot of negative things
said about you by the on air types that we had.

Speaker 4 (17:31):
But he is fun to watch. Anybody disagree with that.

Speaker 7 (17:35):
No, I don't. I think he's got some talent. I
obviously does to be there. And he's just super aggressive
all the time, which you know, kind of like Joey
Logonald's super aggressive all the time. But you got to
be able to kind of pick and choose where you've
got to be that aggressive. You can't do it.

Speaker 6 (17:49):
You need finesse. He doesn't have finesse yet.

Speaker 5 (17:54):
That's exactly it, and you have to Yeah, and we'll
see what he will see what he does going forward
when we get to the regular ovals. You know, that
spier equipment is not stuff that normally runs up front,
So he's been in that equipment and he's been, you know,
doing better than most people do in that stuff. So
you know, he kind of feels that momentum and that
just makes you more super aggressive than what he is.

(18:15):
I mean, the kid has talent, that's that's obvious, so
he just has to harness that a little bit.

Speaker 8 (18:19):
But he's young and he's a rookie.

Speaker 4 (18:21):
You know.

Speaker 8 (18:21):
The second year, I.

Speaker 7 (18:22):
Think people have cut him a lot of breaks, and
I think that's he's gotten away with a lot of
stuff he saw on the expitt of your race sister
in the beginning. Jef Burton didn't cot him a break.
He cut him off and Burton put him in the
tires right away. So I mean that might start happening
going forward now and some more veteran guys are like, okay,
you know, we've given you a break, a break, a
break a break. Okay, strike three. Now it's time to
show you what we mean.

Speaker 3 (18:43):
See what kind of lessons you're actually learning. He did
finish second last week at Atlanta, and today he will
start forth.

Speaker 4 (18:53):
He's a second row guy at this road course.

Speaker 3 (18:56):
I don't remember if he was any kind of road
course racer whatsoever. But if you're going to get around
that quickly, I guess you are a road course racer. Right,
there's hard. It's hard to argue with.

Speaker 8 (19:06):
Yeah, it's certainly not in his background road racing.

Speaker 6 (19:09):
It wasn't group qualifying either, Todd, so we'll have to
see how it goes when there's other cars around him.

Speaker 8 (19:15):
Well, it was group qualifying though, that's yeah.

Speaker 5 (19:18):
And that's why we have Bubba Wallace in second, because
Bubba followed Tyler Reddick around the track and had a
heck of a lap. But you know that's what they
said he was. Bubba Wallace is not a road racer
at all. So they went out for the for the
qualifying session and Bubba followed Tyler Reddick around the track
and stayed as close to him as he could. Bubba
was thinking he was screwing up Tyler's lap because he
was too close. Tyler thought he messed up his lap

(19:40):
because he was going too slow. And when it turns
out those two were number one, we're one and two
at the end. So that was pretty pretty cool to
see that happen.

Speaker 7 (19:47):
And they sent Reddick out to have Riley Herps follow
him too because he needed some help.

Speaker 8 (19:52):
Yeah, it didn't didn't work so well. Riley Herbs ended
up thirty first.

Speaker 6 (19:56):
Finally, I think Carson's going to be fun and dangerous.

Speaker 4 (20:01):
Uh huh.

Speaker 3 (20:02):
By the way, Chase Elliott, who has had a pretty
damn good track record on road courses, starts third. Elliott

Speaker 3 (22:47):
Speaking of podcasts, we looked at the twenty twenty four
final numbers from Fox Sports nine twenty iHeart Milwaukee and
Madison and LTN is number two at the end of
the year for all the sports programming they have on

(23:07):
those stations. We are the number two downloaded podcast after
Wisconsin Sports. So it's you know, UW Sports is a
kind of a big deal, but we're number two, and
damn it, that's not too bad. Like the Avis of
of Fox Sports nine to twenty, it's it's a wonderful thing.
And we're pretty damn proud of that whole thing right there.
All right, So we mentioned briefly last week at Atlanta,

(23:30):
uh that the caution play came out on the last lap.
Some drivers were happy, some were not. You can pretty
much figure out who was. But the question is, was
it a good call to bring the caution out right
after they've they've been had their pants pulled down on
recent calls and they said, we're gonna we're gonna be
much better about this, and the same thing happened.

Speaker 4 (23:52):
What.

Speaker 3 (23:52):
Uh, let's see, let's let's start this with PJ because
she's usually got a pretty good take on this sort
of thing.

Speaker 6 (24:01):
You want to know my opinion on that whole thing
with the cautions. Yeah, I think it's just the same
as what everybody's saying. I'd like to see some consistency,
and they say one thing and do another.

Speaker 8 (24:11):
They be in NASCAR.

Speaker 4 (24:12):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (24:12):
It's frustrating.

Speaker 5 (24:15):
Ran yeah, I mean, and we kind of probably thought
that was gonna happen because Elton Sawyer said in the
driver's meeting before the race that they were wrong with
what they did at the Expinity race the night before
and at.

Speaker 8 (24:25):
Daytona at the end.

Speaker 5 (24:26):
But I don't know why this has to be the
issue it is. I mean, there's ways of doing things.
At the end of every stage, they let the first
ten cars go by and then they throw a caution,
you know, And there's got to be a way with
the technology we have these days, that you have a
wreck going on from tenth place on back right and
you're on the back straight away, there's no reason you

(24:47):
can't let the guys in front of that finish the race.
I mean, we're in the entertainment business here. The fans
are there to see the end of the race. If
people are watching TV to see the end of the race,
you know, the sponsors are paying big money to have
their advertising on the show.

Speaker 8 (25:02):
To see the end of the race. There's got to
be a way to make this work.

Speaker 5 (25:04):
And for them to just say, wow, we can't do
it because guys are going to blast in there. There's
got to be common sense. There's got to be a
way to work around it where the guys behind the
wreck know to slow down and the rest of the
guys finish the race. And I know they want the
consistency to be the same on lap twelve as it
is on the last slap of the race.

Speaker 8 (25:20):
That's not reality.

Speaker 5 (25:21):
I mean, we don't officiate football games the same way
in the first quarters we do the fourth quarter because
they usually play at the end of the game. They
don't do at the beginning. So for them to say
it's got to be the same across the board, that's wrong.
That's not correct. That's not how we do things around here.
So if you want your sport to climb and be
as entertaining as possible, there needs to be a way
to fix this. And you probably had another three white
finish coming that we that we were we didn't get.

Speaker 4 (25:44):
Yep, we were deprived of it.

Speaker 7 (25:45):
Dan, what do you yeah, I'd like to see him
finish at the line, because then you have a definite
finish to the race and I get that. I also
see their safety side though, too. I mean, that's what
they're looking at, and you know it's bad as you.
All it takes is one time to have it go bad,
and people are going to really come down. And everybody
still remembers how sketchy it looked with Dale Jarrett sitting
on the front stretch at New Hampshire years ago when
they all were barreling down and which kind of ended

(26:07):
the racing back to the line. I think people see that,
and I think as far as the guys in the car,
they realize that too. I agree with Brian it common
sense would say, please Uncle Berylon in there after, you know,
after the caution, if we can do this. But then again,
guys in the car, can you make everybody, you know,
not lose their their minds which seems to happen in
the car too. So I see the safety side and

(26:28):
I kind of get what they're on and I know
why they're going that way, because all it takes is
one bad deal and everything's done well.

Speaker 6 (26:35):
And with a lot of the younger drivers, you're gonna
get that bad deal because they do lose their minds.

Speaker 3 (26:40):
They do, they do, and so I mean basically what
we said from the beginning, just do the same thing
all the time. Now it's easy to say that because
every situation is different.

Speaker 4 (26:53):
We have to take everything unto consideration here and when
we make these.

Speaker 5 (26:56):
Plans, and it depends where the wreck happens, you know,
like like the dual races, when you have that coming
to the line, that was ridiculous to put the caution
out for that. You know, at Daytona, the wreck was
on the back straight away. It's a two and a
half mile track that's coming around to the checkered flag.
The safety crew can get moving back there already while
these guys are coming to the finish line. You're you're
over a mile and a half away. So at Atlanta,
I get it, it's a smaller.

Speaker 8 (27:17):
Track, but there still has there still has to be
a way to make.

Speaker 7 (27:20):
That work out farther back in the field that the
guys doesn't realize that. You know, if I'm racing for
fourteenth or fifteenth, I don't need to crash that guy
for fifteenth. Right, there's fifteenth, Okay, you know it's thirteenth
or fourteenth. It is all the same. That to me
is where you finish. I know it's more points, but
sometimes that mentality back there is I need this position
no matter what, So I'm gonna cause this wreck back
here for fifteenth and wreck to finish.

Speaker 5 (27:41):
Well, we don't need it for them to go back
to the stupid line on the back straight away, which
there's talk of that this week. They asked Elton Sawyer
about that because they went away with it because it
was too confusing. It's like, well, I don't know why
we got rid of it. Well, so so how are
you gonna do that. You're gonna cross a line that's
on the back straight away and then a wreck happens,
and then the caution comes out a certain spot, and
you're gonna go back to that line. I mean, all

(28:01):
you're going to do is make it more confusing. You know,
it's confusing enough the way it is. So that's the
one thing I'm worried about, is that they're going to
go back to something like that that that didn't didn't
last long and was confusing as all.

Speaker 3 (28:13):
Heck, Brian, I guess the real point is whatever they do,
try to do it the same every week, and then
we won't have any of this complaining about well, they
did it last week and I didn't do it this week.
And what it's all about, considered right or wrong? Do
it the same for everyone in every situation.

Speaker 5 (28:31):
And it's really only it's really only under the spotlight
at these at these plate races or these you know,
drafting tracks, right, and it just so happens we have
two of them back to back to start the season.

Speaker 8 (28:40):
So that's why you have a lot of light on this.

Speaker 5 (28:41):
This isn't going to be an issue today, It isn't
going to be an issue going forward all the way
up until we get to Talladega. So and then we
only have you know, two Talladega races and one more
Daytona race and another Atlanta race. So it's just really
brought to light right away at the beginning of the
year because this is how we start our season.

Speaker 8 (28:55):
When you have to start the season and we.

Speaker 5 (28:57):
Talk about officiating right off the bat, that's not a
good look.

Speaker 3 (29:00):
That is Hey, by the way, Brian, I know that
your favorite driver in the universe is Kyle Larson, and
I see that he has a genuine Achilles heel. He's
just not good on these tracks. And if he is,
why the hell was he not listening to his spot
or and take the leaders off by just drifting up

(29:20):
the track.

Speaker 4 (29:20):
Last week. God, that was very frustrating.

Speaker 5 (29:23):
Yeah, this is It's always been his Achille heel and
he hasn't hardly any finished a race. The fact that
he actually finished one last week was amazing in itself.
But no, and I mean, I guess if there's one
discipline that you're not going to be good at, it's
the one that involves the most luck, which is super
speedway racing. That's the one where you have the least
amount of control of what you're doing. So I guess

(29:44):
that's it. And there's a least amount of races of that.
So if there's one thing he's going to be bad at,
and that's it, I'm good with it. Because the championship
isn't determined at a super speedway.

Speaker 3 (29:52):
We're very glad you're tuned in here on the internet.
We're still trying to get it fixed with Fox Sports
nine twenty, but we've been through this before. They're doing
their best and we'll be back right after.

Matt Weaver, who we had on this program earlier in
the year, has gotten his pink slip from Sportsnot dot Com.
It's the site that he wrote for. They're citing lack
of views, lack of clicks for Matt Weaver. I just
get the odd feeling that Matt Weaver will not be

(32:24):
if he's going to be gone at all.

Speaker 4 (32:25):
It will not be long.

Speaker 3 (32:27):
He has some very loyal followers. I just can't believe that.

Speaker 6 (32:32):
I think they're probably more angry because Matt was putting
stuff out there as well on his own, and that
was getting a lot more clicks probably than the stuff
there's Sports Not.

Speaker 3 (32:45):
Well, then it won't be a big deal for Matt,
although he probably drew a paycheck from Sports Not and
he's going to have to figure his own thing out here.
But the guy's so good and he has such great
takes on things. I can't imagine he'll be gone at all. Really,
you know he'll be back. But hey, any of you
guys that get Cinemax or their Max streaming outlet, any

(33:09):
of any of.

Speaker 8 (33:10):
Us, No, I do not.

Speaker 7 (33:12):
Nope, I did, and I had a AT and T
and I went the first net and it didn't come
with it anymore.

Speaker 3 (33:18):
Well, this is a deal that they have on Max
streaming site that today you were going to have your choice,
or you can watch all four of them. I guess SVG,
Christopher Bell, Reddick, and Almondinger are all going to have
channels on Max the streaming site, so you can watch
what's going on from inside the car on those sometimes

(33:40):
those can be very entertaining, and sometimes it's like, you know,
that's nice. I'm going to watch TV and find doubt
a little closer with them. You know, it's more than
just following one car. You hear a guy talking to
his crew chief and his spot or and all that
sort of thing. But which is really cool.

Speaker 7 (33:57):
Kyle Busch's car. It's kind of interesting last week seven
and that was learned out last week.

Speaker 3 (34:03):
If you missed Kyle Busch's comments from the car referring
to young Carson Hosabar, it's worth going out of your
way to listen in. It was outstanding, What a what
a take he had on the poor young driver who
apparently is so misunderstood. But yeah, that would be worth

(34:25):
your tuning in. This is now the last year of
the contract with Circuit of the America's The contract is
done after this year. Dan, apparently we have reason to
believe they'll be back.

Speaker 7 (34:39):
Though sounds like they are. There's kind of a question
going forward because that Speedway Motorsports kind of rents the
facility and promotes the race, kind of kind of deal
on their own. This kind of took the place of
the second Texas Race. I think remember back then, so
people weren't sure what they're gonna do. For now on
it sounds like Circuit of Americas is happy with Speedway
Motorsports as far as putting on the show they put on,
and there has been some things on the internet. There
were some ticket holders had gotten renewal and notifications, so

(35:02):
that usually is a pretty good sign they're coming back.
So nothing officially announced yet, but everybody kind of was
leaning to the fact that it's coming back.

Speaker 3 (35:09):
Yeah, and it belongs. I think as road courses go,
this is one of the better ones. Now we know
what it's alike on the old course of the three
point four mile course, we won't really know how good
it will be on this two point four Are we
looking for a lot of passing or you know, is
it the bump and run kind of a track to

(35:31):
get by?

Speaker 5 (35:31):
Hard to say because that's been the problem with this
new car ever since we've come out with this new car,
the road racing has been suspect, and we thought it
was going to produce a better road racing product, and
we haven't seen it since it's come out, So I
don't know.

Speaker 8 (35:44):
Time will tell The idea.

Speaker 5 (35:45):
Is with the long straightaways with these cars, the way
they were able to shift, people didn't think you'd have
good passing zones. And you really can't compare it to
the Xfinity car because that's a completely different animal on
the road courses. So you know, we'll see today. I
really have no idea what to expect as far as
passing with this car.

Speaker 3 (36:02):
Interesting, well, it's a work in progress. We're going to
be able to see exactly where where they're going to
be able to pass. We're still talking about Daytona and
where two races removed they found NASCAR did their old
Dog and Pony show where they bring out things that
they have found during inspections and they show everyone, now

(36:23):
here's a good one. Weights were added to the hydration
system the water bottles they were hanging on the right
side of the car and they had a bunch of
lead in there. This was in the pre race inspection. Now,
how there's a certain does that effect diagonal? I hate
to get out of my comfort zone here, but there

(36:46):
has to be a certain right side weight. Is that
the way it works?

Speaker 6 (36:49):
That is the way it works, and if they removed
it for the race, then that allowed the left side
to be heavier.

Speaker 4 (36:56):
Which is a definite advantage.

Speaker 8 (36:58):
Mm hmm okay.

Speaker 3 (37:00):
Uh Todd Gilliland and Cody Ware. Gilliland, by the way,
if you haven't noticed, is uh pick picked up the
pace quite a bit and that that team seems to
be getting better.

Speaker 4 (37:12):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (37:12):
Cody Ware, Well, that's just a movable pylon on the track.
He's out there to wave, wave and say, hey, mom,
I'm a race car driver. But the fact that Gilliland's
team got busted there, that's you got to hand it
to him. It's NASCAR would do this on occasion and
bring out everything and lay it out on a table

(37:33):
and have everybody stop buying.

Speaker 4 (37:34):
Here's what we found at Daytona.

Speaker 7 (37:37):
Look at this.

Speaker 6 (37:38):
That's just blatant cheating though. I mean, that's pretty bad.

Speaker 3 (37:42):
And the penalties did I read that? I didn't think
they were that terrible?

Speaker 8 (37:47):
What was it?

Speaker 4 (37:47):
Ten points? Dan?

Speaker 7 (37:49):
Yeah, that was as big as I thought it would be.
I mean it is.

Speaker 3 (37:54):
Now and that, by the way, is completely different from
what we're going to be watching for when the nineteen
card gets there a case up in front of the
board to say that they were absolutely cheating. Uh, there're
uh they're already saying they weren't cheating at Daytona. Don't
tell us that this is this is uh, you know,

(38:15):
not anything. There's nothing we could have done to cheat
like this. Uh where is that going to go?

Speaker 7 (38:23):
I don't see him winning it. We'll see you never know.
I mean, well, it's not a Hendry car. For one
and a second, they had seemed down the most luck
on these appeals. Even if they didn't mean to do it,
those holes were modified somehow, even if it happened naturally,
and it happened, I don't know how you can you know,
I don't know if if you can say one hundred
percent they did it blatantly, and how you can say

(38:44):
hundred percent it didn't it happened naturally. And I think
you're you're probably gonna lean towards They probably did some more.
They knew what was going on.

Speaker 3 (38:51):
We'll see, yeah, and then the holes were drilled so
that the spoiler could move. I don't think there's gonna
be a good case made about that. You know, it's
pretty blatant and it's very creative. By the way, didn't
you think mm hmmm, So they're gonna they're gonna pay
and that's the way it works.

Speaker 4 (39:12):
We're very happy it tuned in.

Speaker 3 (39:14):
Tyler Reddick and Bubba Wallace have their toyotas on the

Of course, the state of Wisconsin is buzzing this week,
probably well outside of the state of Wisconsin, as Todd
Thelan confirmed in a post on Facebook that he is
selling Slinger Speedway.

Speaker 4 (46:24):
We do know who's buying it.

Speaker 3 (46:26):
They've asked us not to say anything yet, which means
we'll pretty much be reading it in the newspaper by
the time we go on the air next week. The
new owner has agreed to be on with us, hopefully
next week, because the closing is supposed to be this
week apparently, so we'll see how that goes. I have
to say, the first time I ever heard Todd Thelen's

(46:47):
name is when he showed up in a yellow number
thirty two super late Model at Slinger Speedway and raced
with us for a couple of years. Geez, that was
about the right about the turn of the millennium, wasn't it.

Speaker 7 (46:58):
Dan, Actually than the late nineties, because okay, I remember
standing on a roof of Bill Elliott and Todd rode
the wall and turns three and four, and we watched
the video back and Bill was like, man, I got
got up there. I'm like, yeah, that was my first
member of Todd Dileenlxlayer.

Speaker 4 (47:13):
Well.

Speaker 3 (47:14):
Todd went on to become the PR director at Slinger Speedway,
working directly for Wayne Rickson, who was the track owner
at the time, and Todd and I worked very well together,
and when I found out that he had bought the track,
I thought, boy, this is couldn't be better for the
future of Slinger Speedway. And I have to say, between

(47:37):
Todd and Elizabeth, they've been absolutely unbelievable to work for.
I've never been treated better in my life, no matter
what job I had, let alone a job like that.
And I guess the word I would use more than
anything else is integrity. They cared about their employees, they
care about the track, they want to make sure it

(47:58):
goes And you know, the word is it's going to
a racer. That's what what we uh, that's that's what
has got out from the beginning. So we're just gonna
hopefully have the new owner on with us next week.
Yes we do know them. Yes they raced at Slinger Speedway.
It'll be fun. If you don't know, you will find

(48:18):
out right here in the program and you'll know by
next week anyway. So, uh, it's a it's a huge
thing for Slinger to remain. You don't want to sell
it to some developer who's going to make it into
a condo. Uh, there's money in them there, condos, folks.
And it's great that this is going to remain a
racetrack and uh and for Todd and Elizabeth to have

(48:39):
brought that thing, then the Nationals back to a real
national prominence is a pretty great thing to have in
your feather in your cap. And they have certainly done that,
and I'm gonna hate not working with them. On the
other hand, you know, we turn the page and we're
going to find out just how the future goes. I
can't say for sure that I'll even be back there,

(49:02):
and I haven't talked to them about this yet. That's
coming down the line or like or like Wayne Lensing
told me when when when he bought the Dells, Yeah,
we're bringing everybody back. Everything's gonna stay the same. And
then he saw what I got paid, and he goes,
you're gonna have to cut your pay in half. Oh really,

(49:24):
you'll notice I didn't work for him very long. Uh,
So we'll see. It's it's it's good for Slinger Speedway
in the long term to have a racer taking it over.
And we'll finish with that and we'll hope that we
have that new owner on next week. We're gonna sneak
away for a break. Got a few more tidbits for

(49:45):
you When we come back.

Speaker 3 (51:56):
It's a great day of racing on Fox today, Indian
Cars at Saint Pete at eleven point thirty, followed by
the race at the Circuit of the America's That green
flag is at two forty nine Central time. Indy Cars. Yeah,
this is part of the new deal that Fox has
with Indy Cars, right, Brian.

Speaker 5 (52:16):
Yes, Yes, And if you watch any of their coverage,
it's really actually pretty good.

Speaker 8 (52:19):
They have Will Buckston, the voice of Formula One.

Speaker 5 (52:22):
If you watch Formula One, he's going to be their
anchor guy along with James Hinchcliff in the booth. Jamie
Little who was doing most of the Cup stuff. She's
on in the Pitt Road. But interesting, interesting design for
the race today. You got twenty seven cars, that's more
than they've had before. You have a couple of new
teams in the mix this year. There's a new team
called Perma Racing. They have an israel And driver Robert

(52:45):
Schwartzman in the field and Calumilott. So that's a new
team that they say is coming loaded for bear. They're
going to be strong right out of the get go.
A couple guys in different places this year. Alex Rossi,
who's been with Michael Andretti Racing for a while and
was with was with the McLaren team for a while.
He's now running for Ed Carpenter Racing. So you're gonna
you'll see some different drivers in different locations. And there's

(53:06):
three rookies starting today. You have Lewis Foster, who is
your Indie Nex champion. He's running in a full time
IndyCar this year.

Speaker 8 (53:13):
He's one of the rookies.

Speaker 5 (53:14):
He'll be starting sixteenth in the forty five car. Robert Schwartzman,
who had just mentioned before from Israel, he's one of
the rookies. And Jacob Abel who was a staple on
the Indian X program. He's also going to be a rookie.
Starts twenty fifth today. Scott McLoughlin will be your polesitter
in the Penske car, the only Penske car to make
the fast six and qualifying. So you're gonna see Will
Power starting twelfth coming through the field.

Speaker 8 (53:34):
So it should be an interesting race.

Speaker 5 (53:35):
It's on the street circuit, and of course the beautiful
scenery around Saint Petersburg with the boats and the ocean,
the Gulf of America right there, so it's a good
looking scene and often running for IndyCar. Longest offseason of
the year, if you remember, their last race was the
week after Labor Day, so.

Speaker 8 (53:51):
It's been a long time since they've been on the track.

Speaker 7 (53:53):
Last far Neck of the Woods in June, at Road
America in August at the Mile.

Speaker 8 (53:57):
Yep, yep. They'll be back.

Speaker 5 (53:58):
Only one race the Mile this coming season, and it's
going to before Labor Day weekend.

Speaker 7 (54:01):
I saw they got a sponsor for that, Yes, they do.

Speaker 5 (54:04):
We heard this week snap On is coming aboard after
Hive decided kind of late in the ballgame to pull out.
I don't know if they're pulling out completely from IndyCar
all together. I don't know if they're still doing the
Ioway races or not. I haven't heard, but yes, snap
On is going to come on board and do some
Indi Car stuff. So hopefully we'll get a little more
information Indy Car as we get closer to the to
that event this summer.

Speaker 3 (54:23):
Brian, did you say that the F one announcer is
going to be doing Indy Cars.

Speaker 5 (54:27):
One of their announcers, Yes, Will Buxton. If you've watched
F one Racing, not the main guys that are in
the booth there, but he was one of their reporters
and did a lot of their pre race stuff.

Speaker 8 (54:36):
Once you hear him.

Speaker 5 (54:36):
As soon as I turned the TV on Friday and
they started practice, I heard that voice. I'm like, boy,
I've heard that voice before. Then I saw the name
and he's a Formula one guy. Adds a little pizzazz
to the brood.

Speaker 3 (54:45):
That main guy is as spectacular. What's his name anyway,
I don't even know David Croft. I think is the
main guy for Formula one.

Speaker 4 (54:54):
Oh well, he's pretty amazing, all right.

Speaker 7 (54:56):
Change because their rights on ESPNF one, he's not going
to renew him after this year. They're not going to
have the F one right, so I can look for
more they're actually trying to get. I heard they were
trying to get like eighty one hundred dollars for it
from another network, And when they listed everybody paid, Fox
paid IndyCar like like twenty million, and the cup rights
are like one point one billion. I couldn't believe that

(55:17):
billion with a b oh my.

Speaker 4 (55:18):
Gosh, yeah, yeah I saw that.

Speaker 3 (55:21):
Yeah, that'll show you there is a little bit of
a difference in the two series.

Speaker 4 (55:25):
I suppose all right.

Speaker 3 (55:27):
Of course, nobody picked Christopher Bell last week at Atlanta.
He's one of those sneaky guys. He shows up when
it's time to show up. So I'll run out here.

Speaker 6 (55:38):
I'm sorry, peg, I said, the pay windows open, and
Christopher Bell is there.

Speaker 4 (55:42):
Yes, he is.

Speaker 3 (55:43):
All right, I'm going to take SVG today without a doubt.
It doesn't matter if the three of you agree with
me or the three of you think it's a dumb move.
I think this guy is so far superior to anybody
in the field with his ability on a road that's
a slam dunk. All right, who should we go to next?

(56:04):
Let's go Let's try Brian.

Speaker 5 (56:06):
Oh, you think he's a slam dunk. I think Tyler
Reddick is a slam dunk. That guy's won more road
course races probably in the modern era with this new
car than anybody. So he starts on the pole. He
hasn't been off to the greatest start of the season.
So I'm taking Tyler Reddick, all right.

Speaker 4 (56:20):
Uh PJ.

Speaker 6 (56:22):
I'm taking a guy who is seeming to have some
pretty good equipment now, and he's definitely pissed off. Kyle
Busch for the win today.

Speaker 8 (56:32):
That would be a fan favorite.

Speaker 3 (56:33):
He might get cheered, Yeah, he would get more cheers
like he did last week in the Infinity Race.

Speaker 7 (56:38):
All right, Danil, I'm gonna take a pick of opportunity here.
How often do you get a chance to take a
kid who's eighteen years old in his first start and
he actually has somewhat of a shot to win it.
You never get that chance to do it again. I'm
gonna take Connors as letch. It's probably not gonna happen,
but if it does, I can say I did it.

Speaker 4 (56:54):
It look like a genius.

Speaker 6 (56:57):
When of mine, this is the guy who wins every
time he goes to the casino being damned?

Speaker 3 (57:01):
Yeah, true, that true. When is the last time we
had a first time winner? I remember Jamie McMurray won
in his second race SVG probably Yeah, yeah, that's true,
isn't it Chicago Harvards like a second or third?

Speaker 7 (57:15):
Right?

Speaker 2 (57:16):
Oh? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (57:16):
He went to Atlanta, which was what was that third?

Speaker 7 (57:19):
I think second?

Speaker 3 (57:20):
Okay, yeah, so it's not unheard of, but uh yeah,
oh that's good. I forgot all about SVG. Is the
last one untilage that is a track house?

Speaker 5 (57:30):
Car, So there's history there those track house cars of
one races. It's a red Bull car. We haven't seen
red Bull in a while, so that's kind of cool.

Speaker 4 (57:38):
All right.

Speaker 3 (57:39):
When was the last time we had an eighteen year
old winner? That might be never? I don't know what.
Joey Logano was nineteen or twenty before he won, didn't
wasn't he? So yeah, that's it'll be fun to watch
and very interesting to watch.

Speaker 14 (57:55):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (57:55):
The green flag is at two forty nine today on
Fox Channel six Milwaukee, Channel forty seven in Madison, and great,
