Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:08):
The lt N Hour.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
Let's talk Nascar with your host Todd Bayling, co hosts
Brian Schmidt, PJ Newdleman, and producer Dangerous Dan Margatta. Call
the show any time at four one four four two.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
One seventy nine oh one.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
And now the creator and host of the fastest hour
in radio, Todd Bailing.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
And welcome to the program from Sunny Phoenix, Arizona. Your
host Todd Bailing, joined by my three cohorts, beginning with
Brian Schmidt in Utzburg, USA. Morning.

Speaker 4 (00:47):
Brian, good morning, Yes, made it back from the Dells
yesterday where we saw the last asphalt race of the
year in the state Wisconsin. The last dirt race of
the year maybe today weather permitting at sun Prairie, so we'll.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
See PJ Newdleman over in Trempolo, who did not make
the trip. First of all, PJ, it's great to have
you back. You've been taking care of your mom who's
had some major health issues. It's great to have you
joining us once again. It's good to hear your voice.

Speaker 5 (01:16):
Well, thank you very much. I'm still taking care of her,
but I am happy to be back.

Speaker 3 (01:20):
And Dan Margetta, who actually ran the camera at the
Dells yesterday. Among all the things he likes to do,
actually went to the Brewers game on Tuesday when he
got off the plane coming back from last week's race
in Las Vegas. But while Brewers are done, I guess
thanks a lot. If you had been there for the

(01:42):
other game, they might have won one.

Speaker 6 (01:43):
Yeah they're coolset, weren't they. I was stolen Vegas. But yeah,
we're back. Ready for another race, Ready for Talladega, a
wild card event to set another maybe another driver in
the final four, although I think if we have an
opportunity to get another point guy in this might be it.
Because Talladega such a crapshoot.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
It is it is. As we get going today, we're
going to share some bad news with you for all
of us. As you know, this is the forty first
season being continuously on the air in Milwaukee, and today's
show is not being carried on WKY nine to twenty

(02:25):
because they made an agreement with the NFL to carry
pregame programming last week and this week. Well, in that
two week stretch, lots of things have been happening at iHeart,
one of which is the Packers had their home affiliate,

(02:48):
their flagship affiliate ninety seven to three. The game has
changed formats from sports is now I guess music, Matt,
do you know that did they change some music format?

Speaker 4 (03:01):
I'm Congressman Scott Fitzgerald.

Speaker 7 (03:02):
I'm standing shoulder to shoulder with President Trump fighting to
put Americans first.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
What what too many said that dangerous illegals walk free
as police?

Speaker 4 (03:12):
Wow, it's adult contemporary, yes, adult some music? Yes music?

Speaker 3 (03:20):
Yeah, all right, Well, uh, they fired all the people
that were costing them money to put their outstanding radio
programming on about sports. And while the ship is hitting
the fan, they figured out because nine ninety seven to

(03:44):
three of the Game, as you know, are all owned
by iHeart, they figured out that LTN has got a goal.
And uh, for those who were listening two weeks ago
for the Charlotte Roval program, that was the last radio

(04:04):
show for LTN, we are now going to be internet only.
Now that doesn't affect any of you listening, because you've
been listening this way for quite a while. Anyway, there
are folks that don't and there's more than you'd probably
think that that don't carry that don't listen online. They

(04:25):
they're just older or don't have the technical expertise to
do it, and we're going to lose some long time
loyal listeners. It's the nature of the business. Do you
have any idea how how the odds are stacked against
a little the little program that could like us to

(04:48):
have been doing it for forty one years on Milwaukee radio.
Tell them, PJ, what are the odds of this happening? Ever?

Speaker 5 (04:54):
Again, Well, it's really hard for radio to survive. And
I had twenty five years in radio, and this is
just the nature of the beast these days. It's all
very corporate and they really don't care about local as
much anymore because it's big conglomerates that buy it up.

Speaker 3 (05:15):
Anyway, we just found out today and.

Speaker 4 (05:18):
Most everything is streaming, I mean the whole The guys
that were fired from my heart, like Zaban and those
guys are gone. But the rest of the group that
was on ninety seven through the game, they're not on
the air anymore, but they're still streaming their programs.

Speaker 5 (05:32):
And that's why we're going to be just fine, Todd,
because this is where this is where the future is.

Speaker 3 (05:38):
I'm an old dog and that's a new trick. There's
something about that, you know, but the good news.

Speaker 5 (05:45):
Roll over and somebody will scratch your belly, You'll be
just fine.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
The good news is that we don't have to be
confined by anything anymore. We can pretty much open it
to anything that to well, we had it that way anyway.
But we don't have to watch our language. How about that.
I know that'll probably cost us some people, because I'm
sure we'll piss somebody off just the way we talk.

(06:12):
But that's the way it goes. We're racing at Talladega today.
Let's talk about racing instead of the radio business, because
right now I'm not real thrilled with the brewers or
the radio business. Today's race will be carried on Channel
four in Milwaukee, Channel fifteen and Madison, in other words,
your local NBC affiliate. The green flag is at one

(06:34):
twenty eighth Central time. Weather is for seventies with a
diminishing chance of rain. Now this morning, supposedly it rain there,
and as the day goes on, the chances going down.
But then they don't have lights at Talladega, and then
they fiddley fuck around and they start late, and by
starting late and having you know, possible rain delays, this

(06:59):
could shorten the you know, let's let's see a little
more practical than that, and that's pretty much.

Speaker 4 (07:05):
The rain is already out of the area there, so
they're a good well on their way to track drying.
And they got three hours yet before the green flag.

Speaker 3 (07:12):
All right, very good, and it'll be will be good
to go. Last week, of course, they raced at Las Vegas. Dan,
you were there for that. Gosh, you just must have
been excited as all hell to watch Denny Hamlet win
the race.

Speaker 6 (07:26):
It kind of was. It's kind of cool to see
him in the final four. He's never won up before.
It is a great story I think, and he's the
only guy really creating waves and making a good storylines
all the way through. It'd be cool to happen right
for the finish. We'll see what happens if this is
finally the year. I thought it was pretty good race
towards the end. I mean, it really has its low
points in the beginning in the middle, but then at
the end it all kind of came together. It really

(07:48):
turned when William Byron ran into the back of ty
Ty Dylan coming in the pits. Because I thought Byron
was on his way to winning that race.

Speaker 3 (07:55):
My first impression there Dan was that the mistake was
completely on the twenty four car, But that's not exactly
what happened there because ty Dillon, his spotter's name was
Joel White, and he got fired because ty d Dillon,

(08:21):
apparently he was up in the racing lane. Is that
why you get fired?

Speaker 2 (08:25):
Why?

Speaker 3 (08:26):
I think it's easier to fire a spotter than it
is to fire a driver, even though I thought, yeah,
I don't know you guys, I thought Byron was completely
at fault, but I'm wrong, I guess.

Speaker 4 (08:39):
Well, what's being said is that ty Dylan spotter did
not tell William Byron's spotter that they were pitting, and
he was supposed to do that, and that's why he
got fired and did yeah, yeah, so it's a he said,
she said right now, So we're not we don't know,
and I you know, I don't know.

Speaker 6 (08:58):
But even if you're coming to pitt Rode a driver,
you're supposed to signal the guy's be correct.

Speaker 4 (09:02):
We we didn't do that.

Speaker 3 (09:04):
Unbelievable. Well, either way, somebody had to get fired, I guess,
and Joe White is out of a job. In the meantime,
there's been a shuffle among other spotters as they're moving
people around and getting them ready for this. We're happy
you're tuned in to this podcast. If you'd like to,

Speaker 3 (11:36):
That was a shorter break than usual, Wasn't it? Doesn't
that interesting? All right, we're back Michael McDowell. How about
that guy?

Speaker 8 (11:44):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (11:44):
Is it going to start? From the poll today? One
hundred and eighty two point four to sixty six? He
went around there at fifty two point four eight one.
You know, imagine that it takes almost a minute to
do a lap. You know, that's a big place and
a two point sixty six months. Christopher Bell starts second,
Kyle Busch third, good for him, Austin Sindric fourth, and

(12:08):
Ryan Priest fifth. The playoff drivers I mentioned Briscoe's starts second,
Christopher Bell seventh, Ryan Blaney eighth, and then we've got
William Byron thirteenth. Loganell I'm telling you that some bitch
is gonna win this thing again and make a total
joke out of it. He starts sixteenth, Hamlin starts seventeenth,

(12:30):
Larson nineteenth, and Chase Elliott. What's going on with his lap? Anyway?
Why is he twenty fifth? Anybody watch qualifying?

Speaker 6 (12:39):
You know, I really didn't because it doesn't matter where
you start here to meems yeah, he's starting to back
and still get up to the front right away. I mean,
it's such a wild card race and then to have
it set the you know, one of the final four
championship drivers is kind of strange this year, although if
you look at it, the remaining playoff guys are all good.
There's nobody really surprisingly left. I mean, if some he

(13:00):
gets in as a playoff driver, they're gonna expect them
to be there anyways, because I think all eight left
or probably your best eight guys, right, and there's nobody
out there in there still that's kind of like an outlier.

Speaker 3 (13:10):
It's we're having Joey Logano there is is kind of
like the exception to the rule. He didn't have a
really great season, and yet it doesn't matter. You know,
I always thought, and this has to take nothing away
from from Jimmy Johnson and his seven championships, but you know,

(13:31):
it was it just it wasn't his fault that his
best tracks were all at the end of the year
and pretty much that's why the guy kept winning championships.

Speaker 4 (13:42):
Well, he was he was consistent as well. Remember now
this new format here. It was before Jimmy didn't Did
he maybe win one championship in this format or none?
I don't even.

Speaker 6 (13:51):
Remember the one in the last one in twenty sixteen, okay,
in the final four, but the rest of those were
the sum of the chase format thing where you had
ten races and.

Speaker 4 (14:00):
His consistency, and he was so darn good, you know,
kind of got him. That's why he was. He was
a true champion.

Speaker 6 (14:07):
That team was good. I mean, that whole organization put
together from top to bottom that last year. Uh not
not in sixteen when they won it, but the one
before they would have been fourteen, or they were the
last one. They're five in a row. I actually spent
a lot of time on it because we knew some
people that had worked at Roush had left there and
got hired over there at the forty eight car, So
you actually kind of knew somebody, so he didn't feel

(14:29):
bad walking in the garage and hanging around. And it
was pretty wild, is watching how they all worked. That
whole team. You worked as a unit. I mean you
met I knew one guy in that team, but everybody
in that team talked to you in a group and
It wasn't like you one other places where you talk
to individual people. I mean, like four guys on this team,
and all four of them talked to you separately, and
they're all going, Oh, that guy's doing this, that guy's

(14:49):
doing this. That whole team was such a great unit.
And that was the year that I think Kenseth was
against him. And every time that race, they pitted earlier
then or down the road from what the seventeen car
was a cansel was doing. And if he took two tires,
they took two tires. If he took four tires, they
took four tires. Whatever the seventeen did, they did exactly,

(15:10):
and they didn't know what they're gonna do until they
were coming in, and I thought, wow, how can you
make a change on a fly like that? You're that
good that you can make that kind of a change.
It was, you know, watch what the seventeen does. If
he takes two, we're taking two. If he takes four,
we're taking four. They just never let what the seventeen
get an advantage on him. I was really impressed with
how well that team was run.

Speaker 3 (15:28):
It was and there was no fluke that they were
that good either, But it just kind of worked in
Jimmy Johnson's favor every year that it was actually kind
of boring, you know, Jimmy Johnson's like it's Johnson's time again,
and which, you know, you got to take your hat
off to him. Excellence isn't easy to achieve and doesn't
matter where it comes from.

Speaker 6 (15:48):
But I went to Homestead every year that year thinking,
you know, anybody but the forty again. And but after
watching all five and now knowing what I know, now
I'm kind of glad I got to see it.

Speaker 3 (15:57):
Yeah, it's pretty amazing when you think about it, but
now it's kind of like what's happened with the twenty
two car. You know. He he's the perfect poster child
for why this system works, for what NASCAR wanted it for.
You can flounder around and barely It's like the Diamondbacks

(16:19):
two years ago. Then they made it in with an
eighty two and eighty record. I think Dan didn't they
They made it into playoffs and then they went to
the World Series for crying out loud? And why is that?
Because when it was time to perform, they performed unlike
the Milwaukee Rollers. I'm sorry I shouldn't say that I

(16:40):
should say, unlike Christian Yelich, so I can't blame Logano
for doing what you're supposed to do. But you know,
on the other hand, this is why they're coming up
with this all this that it's gonna go back to

(17:01):
the old the Bob Blackford points system.

Speaker 6 (17:04):
Or something silks gonna happen. I think you're still gonna
have some kind of a playoff kind of situation. It
may not be like a one race, winner take all
type deal, and may be a combination of it maybe,
or maybe you'll have like a three race stretch or
something like that. It's gonna I think it's gonna be
a litle bit of a combination of the old system
and we have now. I don't think you can completely
back to the old system. It kind of sucks for

(17:26):
me is because we keep changing it and each year
that the championship is kind of diminished. I think you
don't remember them as much, and because there are different
ways of winning it, I wish it would, you know,
pick a format and stick with it like we had
for so many years, and it was kind of nice
to do that.

Speaker 4 (17:40):
I think how this season ends might have a bigger
bearing on it. You know, if we go, if we
go through the truck series in the Xfinity Series and
you get you know, Corey him and and uh counters
Zilli's winning those two championships and Joey Logano doesn't win
the Cup championship, I'm not so sure we're gonna see
the change then, you know, I think it's kind of

(18:01):
more of a wait and see to see what happens here.
I mean, Joey's twenty four out as you go into today,
so he's got he's got work to do, and the
track we thought he was going to make all his
grounds up last week at Vegas is coming gone and
he's still on the outside looking in. So you know,
last year that's where he got it done, and years
before that he got it done at Vegas, and he
didn't this time. So you know, all the talk of

(18:23):
Joey getting to the Final four, he's got a tall
order ahead of him to get that done.

Speaker 6 (18:27):
And you know, it could be there finally starting to
see your your viewership. You look at it, it isn't
it's not way down, but it's not not going up either.
I mean, last week didn't it did they lose to
the NHR one of these times on.

Speaker 4 (18:39):
Yeah, the caveat to that as NHRA was a network
TV and it came out right after football, So if
you were watching whatever game was on Fox that time
and you didn't turn your TV off, the NHI came on,
so the TV stayed on. So you got to put
a little asterisk next to that. I think this is
today is going to be the first Cup race on
network TV since May think about that. So, oh, you know,

(19:01):
let's see how the ratings are here. They'll in the
last three weeks when we're on network TV, and.

Speaker 6 (19:06):
You see, you think going forward to they have a
there's an opportunity there to get better because you see
F one they did a deal for next year, next
five years of Apple TV. You have to pay to
watch F one races. I don't think they're that popular
in the States that people can actually pay a streaming
service to watch the races, but we'll see they think
they are.

Speaker 4 (19:23):
I'm not gonna no, I'm not no no. And we
both watched them pretty religiously.

Speaker 3 (19:30):
You know, as we're getting ready to do a break,
it just dawns on me. We can go back to
calling ourselves, let's talk NASCAR again. We don't have to
worry about it anymore. Well, we're not on the air,
We're still LTN Incorporated. But you know we're gonna let's talk.

(19:53):

right back.

Welcome back, Nice to have you again. The number to
call if you would like to participate four one four
four two one seven nine zero one. The Dodge truck
team that's going to be a colleague deal. They didn't
even did they say how many trucks are gonna.

Speaker 1 (22:21):
Have, like four or something?

Speaker 6 (22:22):
I got five five.

Speaker 3 (22:25):
Well, they hadn't named any drivers yet, but they finally did.
They've announced their first driver. Butterbean Queen going to be
a Dodge boy. You know that's that's really a nice move.
Why wouldn't you, you know, the kids coming in, he's
pretty damn good h Dodge trucks. This they come in
together and they can maybe grow together. That's kind of

(22:46):
a nice thing. And and he's.

Speaker 6 (22:48):
Got a pretty big following. I mean, you know, he's
got you know, the whole Butterbean brand. I guess you
could say maybe it's probably kind of cool too. It's
kind of kind of like Cleadas McFarland over on.

Speaker 5 (22:58):
The waffle House has helped him that too, right, that's true.

Speaker 6 (23:01):
Yeah, I mean there's a lot of stories there and stuff.
You could really build off of I think and any
and he ran ARCA this year and won some races,
so it wasn't like he's just jumping into a truck
with really no experience.

Speaker 4 (23:11):
And the championship. He is the arcer champion this year,
and so.

Speaker 3 (23:15):
Good for him, good for College. I think it's a
nice thing for for them to get a driver that
has not doesn't have any at.

Speaker 6 (23:24):
This point, the other war drivers are going to be
you know, that's that's a pretty big truck team there.
And did you see the their alliance their technical alliance
with Childress to think of the ending because of this.
They were part of under the Children's Alliance deal, weren't they,
And now I think that's going away because of the
whole Uh Dodge or stillanis what are you gonna call it? Ram?

Speaker 3 (23:45):
Yeah, I mean.

Speaker 6 (23:46):
There's I think there's plans there to maybe move that
up into the other series in the next year or
two as well as a starting the trucks. But I
think there's could be some plans to you know, join
the Cup Series too at one point.

Speaker 3 (23:57):
Yeah, I'm sure it is. You know, this this truck thing,
it's interesting that this is how Dodge is coming in
because they're not going to be making their own engines.
They're going to have the same engines that are in
the Fords and the Chevrolets there are those ill More,
it's not going to be a Dodge that the chassis
is going. I mean, everything is going to be the
same as every other truck. They just put a Dodge

(24:18):
sticker on it, which you know is going to be
totally different, I think than the engineering involved when they
come up with their own engine for the Cup Series,
which is down the line. I mean, there's no reason
they would come back into Dodge if they didn't i
mean into the truck series, if they didn't have some
sort of long term plan to come into Cup right,
and they did announce that already, so right.

Speaker 4 (24:40):
Yeah, that makes the most sense. It's just interesting to
see how long that's going to be. You know, Colleague
breaks away from their Chevy alliance. Now, I mean, is
this just a one year thing? Is Dodge going to
be back the following year? Because you really can't go
that long in this business without having some sort of
alliance with one of the bigger teams, because you're really
going to struggle. They already struggle the way it is.

Speaker 3 (25:02):
Yeah, well, it's good. It's good for all involved, and
I you neat that old Butterbean is going to be
around full full time. There has been some driver movement.
This isn't all you know, Cup Series necessarily, except for
Justin Haley. They've announced that Justin is not going to

(25:23):
come back into the seventh car. Boy, it was such
a big deal when they got, oh, we're going to
sign Justin Haley to the seven and I thought, you know, yeah,
he's all right, but I don't know why this is
a big deal. And he certainly hasn't done squat in
that number seven car this year. The most talked about

(25:44):
name out there to take his place is going to
be Daniel Swarez, which we assume is still bringing the
money along from this mud mud slide. Slim dude found
in Mexico. What's his uh? He owns a telephone company
in Mexico. Right. What's Slim's first name? Carlos, Carlos, Carlos Slim.

(26:06):
I gotta love that name.

Speaker 6 (26:08):
Worked up with Spire, I mean, everybody thought that was
such a great organization. And he play over there and
they had already Childers over there, and they haven't really
done much now, and they got a lot of resources.
I mean there's a ton of more resources on that
team than a lot of other teams have. And it
you know, it's kind of like the the California Angels.
You know, he had all those all those great players

(26:28):
and pieces together, but you can't you can't put it
together to make it work. I mean, the best car
on that whole stable right now is the seventy seven.
They haven't won yet. He's at least somewhat running up front.
I mean the other cars aren't doing much, and they
haven't for a while. Now.

Speaker 3 (26:39):
You go back to McDonald's on the poll today, that's
that's something.

Speaker 2 (26:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (26:43):
And if we go back to April or may you know,
we all talked about any any day now, Carson Hostar
is going to get a win. I think a couple
of us even picked him. Now we fast forward all
the way to the middle to the end of October,
and he still didn't win a race. Inspire hasn't won
a race. I don't think I would have predicted that
back in April.

Speaker 5 (26:59):
Or he is pretty good at stepping on his dick.

Speaker 3 (27:02):
Yeah, there's that, you know, and that is that going
to change? No, matter where you go. The other movement,
Matt de Benedetto got fired. They're gonna put Connor Mozaic
in the number ninety nine car in the Exfinity series.
You know, I have to hand it to the Benedetto.

(27:24):
He is his own agent. It seems like he has
a great social media presence. He's a very likable guy.
He gets fans from what he how he shows up
on the internet. But the problem is it sounds a
little bit like Haley Degan. It's the same thing. She
has a great social media presence. But when at the

(27:46):
end of the day, you got to produce, the Benedetto
didn't produce at any level.

Speaker 6 (27:52):
Right. He had a shot, right, and he had his opportunities.
I really what stands out with him was when he
was driving that ninety five car he was going to
win in Bristol that year. Ryan Newman was a lap car.
He wouldn't get out of his way. Denny Hamlin was
running him down. He wouldn't move the lap car out
of the way to get by him, and he let
Hamlin come and past them. And I thought, there was
your opportunity to win this race. And if you can't
move a lap car to win your first race, it's

(28:13):
gonna you know, send you know, signals down the garaget.
Maybe this guy isn't cut off for it. Maybe he
doesn't want it bad enough, because I mean to me,
if it's my first race and I need to win
real bad and the lap car is in my way,
he's getting sense he's gonna get shoved and moved out
of the way, especially if I got to get going
because the guy behind me's coming and Denny Hamlin passed
them won that race. Matt finished second. Oh yeah, a
good story, but he should have won that deal And.

Speaker 4 (28:34):
Then he cried about it. Literally. Remember he literally had
tears rolling out his face when they were interviewing him.

Speaker 3 (28:42):
To stop me if you've heard this story before, but
isn't this a little bit like Ted Musgrave at Darlington
where he had an opportunity to win a race, but
he would have had to move, he.

Speaker 6 (28:52):
Would have had the race. Jarrett was catching them. It
was Dale Jarrett, and yeah they were side by side,
and yeah, you probably should have roughed them up a
little bit. Wouldn't not wreck him, but he probably could
have carried off the track. He raced them clean and
Nice finished second, but that was your first win and
it didn't. Remember, Jarrett said something, I want to thank
him for racing me nice, and I'm like, that's the
worst thing you can say in Victor Lane because I

(29:13):
needed that win bad. When Dale Jarrett won his first race,
remember he took Davy Allison up to the fence to
win it at Michigan in ninety one, and he said,
I hope he understands that's my first win. I'm sorry
about that, but it's my first one. I needed that,
you know.

Speaker 4 (29:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (29:24):
Yeah, And eventually it costs him. I don't know. Just
as likable a character as this, the Benedetto is. I
just don't think he has the talent to do win races.
It doesn't seem like it. I don't know much about
Connor Mosak, Brian, I know you do. He's yeah, he's.

Speaker 4 (29:43):
A trans damn guy. You're very talented. He's won several
Archer races over the year. Here, I mean, I don't
I don't know how good the Viking Motorsports number ninety
nine is, so, you know, hopping in that car, I
don't think that's going to be a permanent home for
Connor Mosak.

Speaker 6 (29:58):
But I think he brought money too. Yeah, more money
than to ben Adetta, that's for sure.

Speaker 3 (30:02):
Yeah, And we don't know what kind of money is
out there. Does the benedetto bring money makes it easier
to fire him if he doesn't? All right?

Speaker 4 (30:09):
So yeah, I don't think he does.

Speaker 3 (30:11):
All right. All right, We're going to take a break
and be back. We've got about halfway through this the

With the next check us out on Facebook.

Speaker 3 (32:06):
I'm not used to those short breaks yet. You know
that's pretty good.

Speaker 5 (32:10):
Your wife is.

Speaker 3 (32:13):
Got that out. Randall Burnett we remember him. He was
the crew chief for Rowdy and he got fired because
Rowdy is doing squat in that eight car. So we've
had this guy named Andy Street in there. It turns
out that Andy Street is a temporary because they hired

(32:35):
Jim Pullman to be the full time crew chief for
Kyle Busch next year. The guy came from Well. First
of all, he was the crew chief for Justin Allgeier.
He is the crew chief for us Justin Allgeyer, and
I guess he's going to stay in that job through
the end of the year, maybe win All Guy or
a championship since All Guy A qualified for the final

(32:58):
four yesterday. This he used to work at Childress. He
was the head of R and D over there and
he left there to be a crew chief and now
he's coming back to take over and try and turn
around the career of Kyle Busch. I say turn around
because it's very odd to have him go a year

(33:21):
or two at a time without a win. Is he
did he lose his talent. Is he losing it? I
hate to say that. I don't think so, you know,
not at all, actually, and I can't believe the guy's
not winning. So that must be that Childress's operation there
isn't all It's supposed to.

Speaker 5 (33:41):
Be qualified, all right, though he did?

Speaker 3 (33:44):
How about that? Well, well let's let's go ahead and
give that credit to Andy Street because he must have
helped because Kyle Busch qualified third today.

Speaker 6 (33:55):
Well, tru those cars have been pretty good on the drafting.
I guess can't call him play tracks and what we
call him, I mean like super speedways, super.

Speaker 3 (34:04):
Speedways, and they certainly haven't had any problems at all
in the Exfinity series. Austin Hill, specifically, my god, the
least favorite driver in that series, and he keeps That's
probably one of the reasons. You know, nobody likes a
guy that continuously wins, right, That's why d W used

(34:26):
to get he'd get out with that big ass smile
and well, anyway.

Speaker 5 (34:31):
Austin Hill, though, is a bit of a douche canoe
in his own right.

Speaker 4 (34:34):
He ever think think about him though, those points that
he lost at Indianapolis with his dumb move there knocked
him out of the last round and now he wins
a race what would have put him into the final four.
So it's like just so fitting that the karma is
just biting him big time.

Speaker 5 (34:51):
Poetic justice, we call all that.

Speaker 3 (34:54):
Carson Quopple finished second yesterday. He's not really in a
very bad position right now with one race to go
before they we find out who's there.

Speaker 4 (35:03):
There's not a lot of movement available in the Infinity
Series because you have Zilich and All Guy are advanced already.
Jesse Love is forty to the good going to Martinsville.
So you have Carson Kopple eleven to the good and
Sammy Smith eleven out as they go to Martinsville, and
then you have Brandon Jones twenty out, Sam Mayor twenty
two out, and Sheldon Creed forty one out. Looking like

(35:23):
it could be an all Chevy final four in the
Infinity Series this year.

Speaker 3 (35:27):
That Sam Mayer thing has got local interest. Of course,
Sam crashed yesterday, and pretty much you can't you can't
be crashing if you're in that trying to points your
way in and if you don't win all the time
or at least have a shot. Mayor he's a pretty
damn good driver. He's in equipment. I think that he's

(35:50):
made that equipment look better than it actually was.

Speaker 6 (35:53):
Say that you can't crash if you're going to advance,
and especially format, But then you put Talladega as a
cutoff or a race to put you in the final
where three quarters of the field crashes all the time.

Speaker 3 (36:04):
Isn't that something it's by design? And yeah, I think
it is too. And today is the day we find
out about that because it's gonna happen. Something the big
one does happen. We follow each other around, but eventually
you know there's gonna be something that's gonna hit the fan.
In the truck series, Geo Jiro won his first race,

(36:29):
which is kind of you know, Corey Heim didn't. That's
that's the big deal. Also, Luke Fenhouse damn near won
that thing. I didn't watch the race. I didn't see it.
Somebody tell me how loose it's.

Speaker 4 (36:42):
Because it was on in the middle of the afternoon
on a work day. I mean, come on, that's why
nobody saw that race.

Speaker 6 (36:47):
Luke was up the second place. I mean he was here.
He had his teammate Ben Rose in front of him.
He actually led a bunch of the race as well.
As it came down to it, it was Rhodes and
Fenhouse on the inside and the Toyota cars trucks on
the outside and no coming to the white flag, everybody's
pushing and got pushed through and Rhodes got turned and

(37:07):
it turned Luke as well. They didn't hit nothing, so
they came back and did finish, but it took him out,
and you know, Ben Roads was kind of crying on
the radio. I don't know how many times this has
to happen to me. Every time I'm leading the race
coming off the corner, I get turned and it's like,
but it's not the same guy, dude. And when it's
different guys all the time, maybe you're not coming off
the corner right or something, or you're not or you're
slow coming off the corner where everbody's pushing you out
to maybe you know, I don't drive trucks, so I

(37:28):
don't know. I can't say, but it just seems like
that that happens all the time of the different person.
Maybe you gotta be ready for it or make an
adjustment there. Because this was Luke's first race I ever
had Talladega and you know, I thought he did really well,
too bad to finished and you kidd us.

Speaker 3 (37:44):
No kidding, Well, he's got a lot to learn if
that was his first race. I think that it's coming
along pretty good, don't you.

Speaker 5 (37:53):
Well at Talladega, Yes, and I know I'm obviously a
time a Jeskey fan. But the guy got wrecked early
on and still managed to eke out third.

Speaker 6 (38:02):
Yeah, third place finish, So with the fender flapping all
over the place, I mean, he was making it. There
was funny watching that truck in the draft because all
the bear bond was coming off, so he was making
all kinds of you know waves that I have a
They were just happy to finish top ten if they
could because they were pretty much out of it for
the win. But to come on way back to third
looks well going into the normal race before the championship, right.

Speaker 4 (38:23):
Yep, still out the still out of the cutoff line.
Though unfortunately with a third place finish, he's still five below.
Really interesting setup for the trucks going to Martinsville. You
have Raja Caruth fourteen to the good. Now, remember there's
gonna be at least two that advance on points because
of the the a GEO win. Tyler Ankram is eight
to the good and Caden Honeycut is five to the good.

Speaker 5 (38:45):
That's because he picked up all those stage wins.

Speaker 4 (38:47):
Yeah yeah, t I didn't get any stage points. That
goes ashore where that hurts outside looking in tie is
five out. Lane Riggs another championship contender you would think
is six out. Hamrick is thirty two out and grand
Infinger is forty out. He's gonna need to win because
he crashed early. But boy, if it stays like this,
think about that final four, Corey him and then Caruth
Anchorm and Kateen Honeycut. I mean engrave the trophy, right,

(39:11):
I think.

Speaker 6 (39:12):
Nine eight's pretty good at Martinsville, right, pjah think about
Martinsville where you got to worry about getting running from
the back at the end of the race because there's
another one get turned around late.

Speaker 3 (39:21):
Speaking of the truck's Norm Benning, who is so old
he's actually older than I am by two months. The
bottom end of his engine just completely came apart, and
the truck filled up with flames and smoke, and he
said he was trying to hold his breath as long

(39:42):
as he could because it was so bad in there.
He did end up with some smoke inhalation. He's gonna
be okay, norm don't you think it's about time you
want to hang it up? How long you want to
do this? He was running thirty second at the time.
He must be having a hell of a good time
running third. I guess that's the way it works. We're

(40:03):
very happy you're tuned in. We're going to come back
with some results from around the world of both dirt
and the asphalt. Right after these messages.

Abrew grabbed the feature when there last night. The World

(42:26):
of Outlaws were supposed to run out LaSalle, but bad
weather hampered that event. They are going to run today.
I was going to go to that, yes, but I
kind of read the forecast and saw that that wasn't
going to be any good. Last race of the year
in the state of Wisconsin today. Greg mccinn's the promoter
over at Angel Park Speedway and SOLS Promotions co promoting
that event that was supposed to be held in June.

(42:47):
They're going to run it today. I just checked and
as of now they're still running the Greatest show on dirt,
the World of Outlaws at Angel Park Speedway today. So
if you want to see one last race in the
state of Wisconsin. Yes, it starts right around the time
the Packer Game is going on. I think the gates open,
hot laps are at five, so check it outas the
Tracker game today three point thirty. Okay, So but keep
keep keep your eyes on social media and updates to

both had problems last night. Devin Moran is your Lucas
Oil champion. That is everything for this week.

Speaker 6 (44:05):
Did go ahead and see on X person that had
when Devin Moran won the championship. But I can't believe
you hugged the trophy girl like that right infare of
his wife, his sister.

Speaker 4 (44:17):
Dude, it's his sister. Yes, that was his sister. His
sister and Bobby Pierce's fiance. Those are the two trophy
girls at Eldra. So when you see different actions by
different drivers, they all know him real well.

Speaker 3 (44:31):
A dirt trick thing. Hugging your sister like that, it's.

Speaker 5 (44:35):
A different thing. Down in Arkansas, ASA Stars National Tour
ran last Sunday, at the Winchester four hundred. The winner
was time a Jeski and a Michael hind fielded car.
It's a Hankey chassis. But Toby was there, contributed to
some of the adjustments and was even the gas man.
He's actually here, Toby is. I don't have that microphone

(44:56):
on these oftpe so you'll have to talk into here
if you want to say something. Do you want to
say something?

Speaker 4 (45:02):
No?

Oh Thickens, Yeah, pretty exciting times for them. The Alive
for five champ after last night's race was Casey Johnson.

(46:51):
He finished second in that feature. Looked like he just
decided to play big picture racing there as well. Tundra
super Late Model Champion was Jordan Duvoi and Cody King.
You can kind of partner up for the series and
run it as a tag team for events, and that's
what those boys did and they claimed the Thunder super
Late Model Championship and that's it for asphalt results.

Speaker 7 (47:13):
Ran.

Speaker 3 (47:14):
You had a little story about Penn Sowder that I
think our listeners would be very interested to hear.

Speaker 4 (47:19):
Yeah, he was racing with Gabe pretty hard. It was
about halfway through the race, just a little bit probably
before the halfway mark, and you know, Penn wasn't quite
as quick as Gabe, and Gabe was working him, working him,
working them, and I finally gave had enough and got
into him and Penn went spinning, and supposedly there was
talk that Penn was asked to tap out and he

(47:42):
said he wasn't going to do that, so that's why
they both were then sent to the back, and neither
one of them had a decent well. I think Penn
came back and finished like between twelfth and fifteenth something
like that. Gabe did not finish the race.

Speaker 6 (47:54):
Yeah, Gabe moved up and I was running pretty well.
They had other issues and had a regis.

Speaker 3 (47:57):
Yeah. Hey, speaking of Penn, he did he did all
right last week at Lacrosse too, right, PJ.

Speaker 5 (48:04):
Yes he did. I don't have those results in front
of me.

Speaker 6 (48:07):
But yeah, it's fifth, and so that thought was pretty good.
All that big money in the line and all that,
and and you know, a lot of people I think
didn't it would be a great story. But I think
a lot of people thought it was going to get claimed.
But boy, he he gave it a run, you know.
I mean he's up front all all race long and
and finished fifth place. I mean that whole race, that
story was could he win his money?

Speaker 10 (48:29):
And it was.

Speaker 6 (48:29):
It was a pretty good deal. I think that's really
good for a second year driver running a big race
like that, putting a whole deal together and finishing fifth.
That's kind of how it starts. You got to kind
of build off of that. And I was pretty impressed
with him this year, in the second year in the
super Lates. I think absolutely first year in a super
late first year in a super late yea.

Speaker 4 (48:45):
His first ever super Late model start was the Icebreaker
one hundred at the beginning of the year at Dell's.

Speaker 3 (48:51):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 4 (48:54):
Right, put it in the fence in the first lap
of practice, and ever since then he's been doing pretty good.

Speaker 3 (48:58):
He did you know what they say something about it's
hard to push or rope. Listen, the kid has the talent.
We just have to see now how Johnny, who's who's
well known for his patients, is going to mold the
young man and uh and help them, you know, having
a guy like, for instance, old man Frederickson, old man Sawder.

(49:21):
Their kids are are benefiting from their experience, and it's
h it's going to be interesting to And they're both
I think they're both about the same age, aren't they fifteenish?

Speaker 6 (49:30):
You know, sixteen?

Speaker 4 (49:31):
I mean, just to just to show Penn's age. I
was in gave Summer's trailer yesterday afternoon talking with Gabe
and his dad and and Penn was in there as well,
and they're talking about something, and they're talking about Penn
is asking, you know, can you run the higher line
here above the concrete, you know, and you know, and
then somebody laughed and said, you know, Rich Pickle may
have said that, and Penn Stter says, Rich Pickle, I've

(49:52):
never even talked to that guy. I don't even know
who he is. If he walked by me, he says,
And everybody just pauses and looks. But think about when
you're fifteen yearsyears old. He probably wouldn't. He's probably playing
in the swings in the sandbox when Rich was racing.
You know, I said, just talk to your dad. He
probably knows, definitely. He just smiles. But I mean, that's
how young some of these kids are. You know that
they don't know who these people are. It was just

(50:13):
stunning when you heard somebody say that, that's funny.

Speaker 6 (50:16):
I think it's kind of cool to see that band,
you know, the Bandoleerro class a lot of people. Sometimes
they have a bunch of them, and yeah they have
early on, they have a lot of single car spins
and they take a while. But look at what we're
getting out of that. I mean, there's people that are
coming out of that have been pretty done. Good race
car driver. Look at like Penn Sawder. Look at that
Jayden Johnson, you know, he moved up to a late
model this year won the championship at slinger So and
there's a ton of them out there, So I think

(50:37):
the future is bright that way. If we can just
you know, keep keep teaching these kids like their dads
are doing right now, I think we can have a
pretty good crap for race car drivers up here to
continue going on.

Speaker 3 (50:46):
I agree with that completely. We're gonna sneak away for
our final break. Come back with some some more thoughts

Speaker 3 (52:33):
We got a question from Joel on the Facebook page
that says, why did thy only get fifteen grand for
Winchester when it was posted for twenty thousand to win.

Speaker 5 (52:47):
Well, I'll hand that over to Toby to answer.

Speaker 3 (52:49):
Oh, I don't know if he heard the question.

Speaker 10 (52:53):
Yeah, I would just said I think they only had
a fifty another standard race only page fifteen grand, and
I think they forgot the other check. I mean, as
far as I know, it was twenty to win. They
just that's what they had there and that's what they
put out there.

Speaker 3 (53:08):
Were you at the Dell's yesterday? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (53:11):
I was with Skyler.

Speaker 3 (53:12):
Okay, how did he do? Agency? How did he do?

Speaker 10 (53:19):
I ended up tenth, We qualified seventeenth. I mean he's
he's been out of that for a while and it's
like a second time on bump stops. So and he's
the one footed driver. I mean, I mean he's got
a pile of talent. He just you know, we struggled
a little bit, but we got it. I mean at
the end you came on. So he told me, I

(53:42):
got a question, Toby.

Speaker 6 (53:43):
You guys got the Snowball, You've got the Rattler, now
the Winchester four hundred. What what race out there haven't
you guys won that? Kind of like on the list,
is there one out there that you really want to
get now.

Speaker 10 (53:54):
Well, we want to Nashville's. That's one. We haven't won
that yet. I mean, we've had we had really good
cars there. We're excited about going there. The other one
that we really want to do is the Oxford two fifty,
but their rules are a little different, so we got
to do some different stuff to our cars to go there.

Speaker 3 (54:15):
A long way to haul a race car, isn't it.

Speaker 4 (54:19):
Yeah, well, I know.

Speaker 10 (54:20):
We've been to California before and I don't think it's
that farnh.

Speaker 2 (54:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (54:24):
Yeah. Hey, since since we have you here and we're
about to make our picks for today's race, I'm going
to give you the first round draft choice. If you
would like, go ahead and pick somebody to win at
Talladega to today.

Speaker 1 (54:38):
I'll just go with Chris Busher.

Speaker 10 (54:40):
That's kind of been my guy, okay, and Mike Kerman
junior spots for him and he's going to Pensacola with us.

Speaker 3 (54:46):
So all right, well, hey, hang around for the hangover
show if you would like after the top of the hour.
You know, that'd be kind of neat to have you.
All right, all right, I'm going to Big Bubba Wallace today. Yeah, yeah,
I know, why not. He's good on these kind of tracks.
Who wants to go next? Dan or Brian?

Speaker 4 (55:08):
Go ahead, Dan?

Speaker 6 (55:09):
All right, I'll take William Byron to make up for
the move that pretty much cost him a shot at
the championship last week.

Speaker 4 (55:16):
Huh, Ran, I have him in my final four. He's
on the outside looking in and he needs to win,
and maybe I can just jinx him right out of it.
I'm gonna take Joey Logano. Boy. I hope I'm not
right because I was right last week and I don't
want to be right again.

Speaker 3 (55:31):
And PJ. I'm already writing number twelve down here.

Speaker 5 (55:35):
Very good, Thank you, Ryan, blame me.

Speaker 4 (55:38):
Yeah, he's uh, he's another one that needs to win.

Speaker 3 (55:42):
Yeah, but boy oh boy, he's sure.

Speaker 4 (55:44):
He's good at Martinsville. So he's got that in his
back pocket.

Speaker 3 (55:47):
Yeah, next week at Martinsville. To keep that in mind,
we go from Talladega, the biggest track, to Martinsville, the
smallest track, and that's gonna be another whole set of
you know, they say that's where you want to pay
guys back for when they pissed you off today at Talladega.

Speaker 6 (56:01):
So I'll tell you the way Penske's dominated Phoenix lately.
If any one of those Penske cars gets in this
week or next week, you know it's gonna be tough
to beat at Phoenix. So I mean, the rest of
the field is in their best interest to not have
a Penske car and a championship four. So we'll see
what happens. That's the way to Ford's left, right, So
I mean Ford's got their whole.

Speaker 4 (56:21):
And right now as it stands, now you got three
Toyotas and one Chevy in your final four. I mean
we have two races to go yet.

Speaker 6 (56:29):
And like Austin Cindrix said, everybody left has got a
wing man.

Speaker 4 (56:32):
Yep, think about it.

Speaker 3 (56:36):
All right, Well, there's something to think about. A couple
of notes here. Rookie Reddick, that's the that's the little
guy had his kidney removed this week. I don't know
if you've seen pictures of this kid. My god, is
he a cute little guy. And he's gone through a
lot too, but all signs are good for a long

(56:58):
completely he's gonna come up. Okay. You remember you don't
need two kidneys. One is just an expendable piece there.
And apparently they're planning. This is the way they're going
with the long term. So a little guy is his
head is kidney removement. It's looking good. Also, I don't

(57:18):
know if you guys saw this. You know they're going
to race at the Navy Base and Coronado Island in
San Diego next year and Father's Day weekend, and it's
going to be a three event race. They're going to
have trucks on Friday, Infinity Saturday, and Cup on Sunday.
And because Friday is Juneteenth Day, they're not going to

(57:43):
allow anybody on base, and you won't be able to
watch the truck race live. If you want to see
the trucks you have to stay home and watch it
on TV. First of all, I didn't realize that they
made Juneteenth on national holiday. It must that's been a
Joe Biden thing, right, I'm guessing.

Speaker 4 (58:03):
Still, we don't have time to talk about it, but
we could in the future. I mean, what is NASCAR
doing with their truck series. I mean, the last two
races in the playoffs here have been in the middle
of a workday, afternoon. The roval that was in the
afternoon before people are off work yesterday. I mean don't
we want to promote the sport. They always talk about
promoting the sport, promoting the sport. Well, don't you want
to get people there to watch it? You know, don't

(58:24):
you want to? I mean, arguably the racing and the
truck series is better than the Cup Series. But now
you don't want people to even come and watch it.
Now you're gonna do it again next year. What's going on?

Speaker 3 (58:33):
Unbelievable?

Speaker 6 (58:34):
It is they'll have a crowd there from the base, right,
it's everybody on the base and their families can go
watch the race. But the base, yeah, well, nobody else
will come in.

Speaker 4 (58:40):
But if I'm going all the way to San Diego
to watch the race, which I'm not, but if I was,
I'd want to watch all the races. Now you're gonna
tell me I can't go watch it?

Speaker 3 (58:47):
I mean, come on, unbelievable. Hey, thanks for tuning into
the program if you missed it early. Where we made
the announcement at the top of the show that this
program is no longer going to be carried on the radio.
