Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:09):
The lt at Hour.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
Let's talk Nascar with your host Todd Bayling, co hosts
Brian Schmidt, PJ Newdleman, and producer Dangerous Dan Margetta. Call
the show anytime at four one, four four two one
seventy nine oh one. And now the creator and host
of the Fastest Hour and Radio, Todd Biling.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
And welcome to the program. Nice of you to join us.
The second round of the playoffs begin today. Todd Bayling
in beautiful Linden Station, Wisconsin, joined by my three partners
who are all within shouting distance of the Mississippi River.
The Minnesota twins Bryan and Dan are somewhere in southern

(01:00):
Minnesota for some reason. Huh, eastern Minnesota. Kind of eastern.
We're Intana, Minnesota. Oh you're a date dirt late model fan.
You probably think I've heard that before. Correct, goal for
fifty used to.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
Be run here in Oatana, But we're not here to
watch a race in Ouatana. We were half hour up
the road in Elko, Minnesota for the last night's ASA
Midwest Tour event, which was the first time we both
were at that facility, and I must say, everybody told
us we're gonna love it. And I agree that is
probably one of the best short tracks I've ever seen
an asphalt short track.

Speaker 4 (01:31):
I mean, right Dan. In the racing there's as well.

Speaker 5 (01:33):
Yeah, I agree.

Speaker 6 (01:34):
A nice facility, a great facility in the racing areas
outstanding at that progressive banking. They got it figured out
right where you can have two lanes and really race good.
Is it's it's kind of like a smaller I RP.
And I think it's a little better at IRP because
that inside lane can pass and you can run the
outside and get buy somebody.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
Yeah, it kind of also compared to maybe like the
old Urwandale, you know, with the big grand stand and
just a little smaller version of it.

Speaker 4 (01:54):
But oh what a race track.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
I mean, three wide, not a whole lot of bumping
and banging if you don't need to be as there's
plenty of room and outstanding racing. This is definitely a
hidden jewel up here in Minnesota.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
And of course PJ. Noodleman over in Trumpelow, Wisconsin, just
on the other side of the Mississippi.

Speaker 7 (02:10):
Hi, PG, Hi, Hi, are you guys going to stop
at the Spam Museum on your way home?

Speaker 4 (02:16):
Where is that over in that area or does it.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
Have to do a junk mail on your computer or
some kind of meat.

Speaker 5 (02:24):
The meat product Hormel.

Speaker 6 (02:28):
Crowd sponsor of Lake Speed.

Speaker 5 (02:29):
Yeah, uh huh.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
Yeah, that's the good old days. Well, we're getting ready
to race at a flat one mile New Hampshire, just
a little bit over a one mile track.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
It is the fourth race of the playoffs of ten
did The race is on USA channel today if you
don't get cable or satellite in your sol as they say,
it is a green flag at just a little after
one o'clock hour time, which means what a day we have.
The packers are at noon, the race starts at one,

(03:07):
and the brewers who are magic number one winning the
division all start at the same time, or at least
they're at one o'clock that will start the same time
as the race. So wow, that's quite the day. This
is why you have more than one TV and picture
and picture and watching on your laptop if you've got
nothing or driving home from Minnesota, you could be doing

(03:29):
that too, and pushing buttons on radio on your radio
fine stations. There you go, Joey Logano who gets himself
into the playoffs and then kind of regroups until the
playoffs begin and then suddenly wakes up and wins. Championships

(03:50):
will start from the poll today one hundred and thirty
point six two to two miles an hour. He went
around there at twenty nine, one five nine on a
one mile track, and it really was a Penske show
at the front of the field. Logano starts from the
Paul Blaney from the outside, and Josh Barry in the
twenty one car starts third of the playoff drivers will

(04:13):
start let's see first, second, fourth, fifth, eighth, ninth, and
then fourteen and on back until you get all the
way to twenty seventh place where Chase Elliott qualified today.
What the hell is going on there? When he was
really something else? We kind of fell off the map

(04:35):
a little bit. You know, I'm not the only one
I'd noticed. It was about the time he hurt himself snowboarding,
isn't it. I mean after that, he's just never seemed
to have been the same. The segments will be at
lap seventy and one eighty five. It's a three hundred
and one lap race today and perfect weather sixties and

(04:57):
zero percent chance of rain, so we're going to get
a race in at New Hampshire today, it's it's up
there in New England. Boston is the nearest civilization you
got to this track, and so it's head to head
with the beloved New England patriots today, which aren't as
beloved as they used to be at that. Any time

(05:18):
during this program you feel like calling us and having
an opinion that you'd like to share with us, you
can do so at four one four four two one
seventy nine oh one, and we'd love to hear from you.
Any of that sort of thing is welcome over here,
even if your opinions are wrong. That's how that works.

(05:41):
This is the time of year where we're we're in
the playoffs where we've got this kind of cloud hanging
over the sport right now. We all know it. It's
coming after the season. It's going to be the lawsuit.
We're going to figure out the direction that NASCAR will
be going in for the foreseeable future, and that includes

(06:06):
whether or not we are going to completely scrap the
charter system that we have now. It was a temporary
thing that NASCAR came up with. It's all NASCAR's sandbox.
They made the rules. Everybody's playing in their sandbox and
by their rules, and then you get that kid down
the block that just doesn't want to play by the

(06:28):
rules and he's gonna make trouble and that's what. Oh.
The good news we got Michael Jordan as one of
our team owners, one of the greats of all time.
And bad news is he's suing NASCAR and it could
up end the entire sport. So when I say that,

(06:48):
I mean it because there's so much news about charters lately.
You'll remember recently there was this another little lawsuit that
was going on, our threatened lawsuit or legal action. The
lawyers got woken up and got the paychecks going again.

(07:09):
It had to do with rick Ware Racing and Legacy,
which is of course Jimmy Johnson's team. They apparently did
a verbal agreement to sell a charter at the same
time it was supposed to be leased. Dan, this is
already sneaking out of my pay grade here. Rick Ware
was the one that's leasing the charter to number sixty

(07:32):
for Ralsh freaking Keslowski Racing. Correct.

Speaker 6 (07:36):
Yeah, that's what the deal was. This year Rickware had
two charters. They run a fifty one in the old
fifteen car they leased the one that was on the
fifteen car to Ralph Fenway to run the sixty this year.
Now they in the meantime, they apparently had a disagreement
with Legacy Motorsports to sell a charter for next year
where they thought was Rick's contended it was in twenty seven.

(07:57):
Legacy Motorsports said no, we were talking twenty six. So that's
why I went to court to sue it. Well, now
they apparently had a settlement in that they kept everything confidential.
So we were trying to figure out how this worked
out because rick Ware says, I'm gonna run the fifty
one car next year as a chartered car, and Ralsh
Finley says, we're gonna lease a charter. Now, you can't
lease the same one. So they were gonna lease that

(08:17):
fifty one charter, which meant rick Ware was gonna run
the fifteen charter. Well, then where's the one that's gonna
go to Legacy coming from? That's you know, it doesn't
make sense. One plus one plus one doesn't equal two
at equals three. So that's what everybody's trying to figure out
what happened. The guessing is that they probably agreed to
twenty seven, it's probably too late in the game to
start a team for twenty twenty six. For Legacies, the
one of Rickware's charters is probably going to go to

(08:40):
Legacy Motorsports in twenty twenty seven. Now what that means
for the Rash group and that's that sixty car I
don't know. Do they keep listening one from Legacy now,
which wouldn't make sense that's Tyota and Ford, or does
rick Ware, you know, just be gone in twenty seven because.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
Rickware would probably do himself, depending of course, depending on
the results of the twenty three to eleven lawsuits there.
So there's this, like I said, there's this cloud over everything. Yeah,
and we can fight over charters if there are charters
that I'll even be in play next year.

Speaker 6 (09:13):
And I'm guessing that the deal for TJ. Pooscher to
buy the whole thing is probably out the window now too,
because that was in the middle of that.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
Now he'll probably sue too and say, hey, you're agreed
to sell it to me, Well, what are we actually selling.
Let's hope there's something to sell. I still believe and
hope that somehow the lawyers can have a little martini
someday and come up with a settlement so we can

(09:41):
make this whole thing go away. Just give them a
little more money and everybody will be happy, right, I hope.
So we're going to take a break and be right back.

Speaker 8 (09:52):

Speaker 1 (12:02):
Game Welcome back to LTN, Happy New Hampshire Day. Is
that a thing? Probably not. If you'll remember a little
while back, there was a thing about Rausch Fenway Keslowski

(12:23):
Racing when Steve Newmark quit moved on to the University
of North Carolina, going to be some kind of some
kind of I don't know what the hell is he
doing over there anyways. I don't think he's an athletic director.
I don't think he knows enough about athletics to do that.
But he did go and left the team, and there
was some talk that perhaps the president that was a

(12:48):
president of Raush Fenway Keslowski Racing. You think about that
Newmark left and it was like, who's going to replace him?
And there were some people in some circles that thought
that Kazlowski would possibly take over as president himself get
out of the six car and someone else would go
into the six and all that blah blah. Well it

(13:12):
turns out it didn't. It's not like that. Keselowski First
of all, the president his job at that place, probably
at all these places. But the president of the company,
his job is to find sponsors. Now that sounds like
a very odd thing for a president to have to do.
Seems like a president would hire a guy for that.

(13:32):
But no, this guy, Chip Bowers, was hired. Now you
say to yourself, Chip Bowers, Have I ever heard it before?
Probably not?

Speaker 7 (13:44):
He was.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
He has a resume as you might imagine. He was
the chief marketing officer for the Golden State Warriors of
the NBA. He was the president of business Operations for
the Miami Marlins. Both of those things. Does that ring
a bell? They find sponsors what they do, and recently,
most recently, he was a president of sports of a

(14:07):
agency that did sports and entertainment. The name of the
company was Elevate. So they found this guy. Are you
going to be able to find us sponsors? Oh? Hell yeah,
Well then you're hired. So Chip Bowers is the new
president of RFK Racing, which means that Kazlowski is going
to stay a driver. He wants to win. I don't

(14:29):
blame him. He's been close. He's knocking on the door.
It would really complete a pretty amazing comeback. You think
about how Rausch was on top of the world and
they kind of worked themselves downhill for a while, and
it was in great disarray. Nobody really wanted to be there.
Guys were leaving left and right. Ralsh was unhappy as

(14:52):
anybody could be. In the meantime, he's getting old. Things
aren't getting better. Keselowski comes to him and says, I
would like to you know, I guess you buy your
way into a deal like that, right, unless you're Tony Stewart.
But you know, he somehow bought his way in and
became one of the three principles over at RFK, and

(15:17):
he wants to win races. He's getting close. It's been
a pretty amazing turnaround. I think that they're in the
you know, they're competitive every week, let's put it that way,
and at sometimes more competitive than others. We've seen where
old b K has come pretty damn close to winning
a race himself, and boy does he get frustrated when

(15:41):
he thinks he's got a shot and doesn't. Hey, I
don't blame him. It's been an interesting story. How old
do we think? And I don't have the number in
front of me Keselowski's got to be early forties. I
would think, right, does that make sense right around that?
I guess that number so well, Uh, it's he's right

(16:03):
at the point where you know it's almost time to
hang it up and move on to the next phase,
which is where he's at. He's positioned himself well and
he wants to win yet and I don't blame him,
and so we'll keep an eye on that whole thing.
Chip Bowers is the new guy over there. And speaking

(16:24):
of guys that used to be good race car drivers
and then retired, we thought and are coming back for
a swan song. Casey Mears, how many races did he win?
Dan one or two? I forget just one?

Speaker 2 (16:39):
And I was there.

Speaker 6 (16:40):
I saw it. I seen And the funny story about
that is I went with on the guys I work
with at the other jab at the police department. He'd
never been to a race before. And we were there
at Charlotte that earlier that week, we were in McAllister's
Deli and Casey Mears walked in and I said, Hey,
that's the guy that's going to drive in a race
this weekend. He's like, when nobody's bothering him because he

(17:01):
doesn't win and anyone and won that race that week
on Sunday night.

Speaker 1 (17:04):
Yeah, if he won races, there'd be a lot of
people coming. Hey, aren't you Casey Mears. Uh, he's going
to compete in the last three races and car number
sixty six, which means it's back marker news basically, but
probably we'll all be there to see Casey Mer's last race.
Of course they thought that. Geez, he's been gone for

(17:26):
about seven eight years, hasn't he. Oh it's been a while. Yeah,
are a long vehicles, so oh my gosh, Josh Black,
He's driven it a bunch of times this year. He
made that Chicago race with it that was kind of
a really really big deal for them, which was kind
of cool. Yeah, well, Casey Mears wants to come back
and just drive around at the back of the field
and wave to his fans and sign autographs and be

(17:48):
happy with that, I guess, which is what you do
with these back marker cars. But he's coming back. We're
gonna see Casey Mears again this year. The other news
worthy to come out of that last couple of races
of the year. Remember when going to the Waldorf Astoria

(18:10):
in New York City was a really big deal. Nationally
televised tuxedos. Everybody came up and did a speech. In
the top ten. You had the cruise up in the balcony,
all hooting and hollering and pictures out in front of

(18:30):
the place in Times Square, and gosh, those were the
good old days.

Speaker 2 (18:36):
Get this.

Speaker 1 (18:37):
This year's NASCAR Awards banquet is going to be on
a Tuesday night after the Phoenix Race. It's going to
be at an undisclosed location in Scottsdale, Arizona, which means
the final four only are going to be invited to

(18:58):
this thing in scott which means they all have to
hang out for two more days. I just can't believe
how that has gone from a absolute must see black
tie event to an undisclosed location in Scottsdale after the
Phoenix Race. You can't leave.

Speaker 6 (19:20):
It might even be televised. Then I'm gonna watch it.
Maybe I have to watch it online or something like that.
You know why, we just meet in court in another month,
because that's where you have to be anyways, and have
the banquet there. Man, it seems that can you has
there ever been a bigger disconnect between the teams in NASCAR.
This is kind of like it shows it that your
championship should be a huge deal and it's just gonna
be kind of poop pooed off and go.

Speaker 3 (19:39):
And I wonder, I wonder if it didn't have anything
to do with TV, the fact that TV, you know,
last year we couldn't see it all. It was like delayed,
and you know, years ago it was on live, And
maybe TV just says we don't want to do nothing
with it anymore, which means they have no money to
put towards the banquet, because I'm sure TV had to
pay them something. So NASCAR goes, ah, the heck with it.
If nobody's gonna pay for it, we're not gonna We're
not gonna have a big event anymore.

Speaker 1 (20:00):
How would you like to be the guy that finished
fifth in the points that isn't even invited to the
damn banquet?

Speaker 4 (20:05):
We're happy to go home.

Speaker 1 (20:08):
Probably unbelievable, or oh how far the mighty have fallen?

Rush on tight.

Speaker 6 (22:20):
There you go.

Speaker 11 (22:21):
There's the pressure they've been waiting for that Duran Cooper
Tyro Santos for the game.

Speaker 1 (22:28):
Here's the snap placement made.

Speaker 6 (22:29):
The kicker is.

Speaker 8 (22:32):
Is fucked there.

Speaker 11 (22:33):
The packers have one.

Speaker 12 (22:35):
Beautiful the home of your Green Bay Packers and the
flagship of the Packers radio network. Oh my goodness, wow,
ninety seven to three the game.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
Well, it's always been the most fun over the years,
especially when this program started some forty one seasons ago,
that we love to talk about the silly season. That
used to be a big deal from the middle of summer.
You had guys that were you know, it was all
rumors that we didn't have a Jay Ski site where

(23:09):
you can look up and see when a guy's contract
ends with a certain car owner or any of that
sort of thing. It was all stuff that was talked about,
and I didn't even know if they A lot of
teams didn't have they had handshake deals. And well that's
of course changed with the overabundance of lawyers we have
in this country. But this this is pretty good right now.

(23:32):
What's happening with the silly season because you you have
a situation that has kind of come up. First of all,
that cloud I talked about earlier that's kind of hanging
over the sport will also will affect lots of different things,
including the silly season and whitch drivers might be moving

(23:53):
to which teams. That's all very much in the air
because we don't really know if they're going to have
the charter system them like we have now. One thing
we kind of knew is that Tyler Reddick, his contract
with twenty three to eleven states that he has to
be in a car that has a charter. Okay, Now,

(24:17):
obviously they are operating without a charter right now, which
means it's coming out of in Michael Jordan's pocket. Who's
lost more money in a casino. It's not a big deal, Okay. Well,
what would be a big deal, though, is if Tyler
Reddick became a free agent. Now there's nowhere for him
to go right now, and by the end of the season,

(24:40):
you know, if that whole thing blows up, that might
change everything also. But you know, when you have a
situation where we are, let's just say that Rick Hendrick,
who has been known to not have a great deal
of patients with teams that don't produce, and let's face fact,

(25:00):
Alex Bowman is an underachiever over there right now, he
has got rid of guys who have done better than
Alex Bowman has. So the question would be, now we
all know Bowman is a definite Hendrick kind of a guy, intelligent, likable,
clean cut, the whole business. He's a Hendrick guy except

(25:21):
for one thing. Hendrick guys win lots of races and
even though not as many cars, win as many races
as they did before. For Hendrick, we have a situation
where Alex Bowman might be on the hot seat. The
question is, and I'm going to throw it out to
my teammates here, would this be the time because Tyler

(25:44):
Reddick not being under contract right now, he's a free
agent in that forty five car? Should he should Hendrick
just swoop in and say, Reddick, we want you to
drive the forty eight car next year, no matter what.
And he could sign it. And I don't think it
would be against anything that the lawyers could sharpen her

(26:04):
claws on.

Speaker 4 (26:05):
I was Rick Hendrick gott absolutely do that for sure.

Speaker 3 (26:08):
But I mean, is there is there is there red
tape in that clause because the court isn't until the December.
I mean, how does that work?

Speaker 4 (26:15):
Does that get?

Speaker 13 (26:16):
You know?

Speaker 3 (26:16):
I mean, Dan, that's got to be a sticky situation.
You can't think of it. They're not thinking about it.

Speaker 6 (26:20):
Of course it is. It's happened in the past a
lot of times. Remember when Tyler Reddick went over to
that forty five car. He drove the eight car for Childress,
and suddenly he popped up on Denny Hamlin's podcast. Hey,
I guess I'm going to go in two years from now.
And in twenty twenty two, and in twenty four he
was in the forty five car and they forced Childers
to let him go early because the sense of keeping
the guys want to be there. Hendrick's done up. Remember

(26:40):
back when Dale Junior was looking for a place to go,
there's no room at the end, Rick said, And suddenly
we made room at the end. We'd kick Kyle Busch
out and suddenly here comes Dale Junior. So it has
happened in the past. It may be a little stickier
with the lawyers and stuff, but we got all kinds
of lawsuits not what's one more. Sometimes the way things
work like that is there a lot of behind the
scene things that we don't really see, right right, PJ.

(27:00):
You kind of have a little bit of idea about
that that there's so much stuff that has to get
tight in before we can announced somebody. But I bet
you it's going on in the background.

Speaker 5 (27:08):
Absolutely, it absolutely is. So you'll just have to be patient,
but it is fun to speculate.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
It is really look at it. I would rather have
Tyler Redick in the car myself. But it's not like
Bowman is some sort of slug either. He has shown
flashes of brilliance. Perhaps there is a chemistry problem over there.
Perhaps he's not as good as everybody thought he was.
Maybe anybody could win a couple of races for Hendrick.

(27:37):
You know, there's all these things, But putting Tyler Reddick
in one of those Hendrick cars, it seems to me
would be an upgrade of a driver. Now that's just
my opinion. How my teammates on this. You think that
would be.

Speaker 6 (27:54):
For the forty five car?

Speaker 1 (27:56):
Yeah, for Reddick to move over to the forty eight,
do you think it would be a definite upgrade?

Speaker 6 (28:00):
I well, right now, it probably was a team rise.
That forty five team was really strong last year, and
they were really under game until they got to the
championship four and he seemed to be overmatched. And ever
since that time, they really haven't been back on face,
it seems, but they've proven they could do it before.
If you just get back on the same page. I
wonder if this lawsuit is in something else that's kind
of huh out there too, hanging over, and then once
we get that result, I think he could go. I

(28:21):
think Reddick is the key. I think he could win
in any car, and so if he went to forty eight, yeah,
he'd be better.

Speaker 3 (28:27):
But on the flip side, if you look at twenty
three eleven as a whole, Bubba Wallace is running way
better than he has before. Yep, you know, And I
think that's more between the years maybe than the team's performance.
But no, I would agree. I mean, if if Reddick
were to go over there, Reddick was a Chevy guy
to start, I mean that's where he was. He was
with Junior Watersports and the Xfinity stuff for a while.
He ran for Childress in the Xfinity stuff for a while.
So it'd be cool to have him come back to

(28:48):
the Chevy camp. And I think he could produce it
with that team. I mean, think about that team, the
background of that team, the forty eight car, that's probably
the most iconic car in recent NASCAR history with all
its championships, and now it just fly around in the
back and gets bumped in the first round of the playoffs.
So if I'm Hendrick, definitely you got to do something there.
You would think if you just sit on your laurels again,
I don't know anything's gonna change.

Speaker 1 (29:09):
And as we all know where Hendrick didn't get where
he's at by being overly patient and just keep a
guy because he likes him. I think we'll like Reddick
better if Redick wins races in the meantime, and.

Speaker 6 (29:23):
Then also think of his history too. They got Kyle Larson, remember,
Ford wouldn't want him, so he swooped in and got him.
Go back to Jeff Gordon. Jeff Gordon was a Ford guy, remember,
And all of a sudden we were at the Milwaukee
while at an ASA race is a big news game
that Ralp Sheen ran over the big news. Hey, Rick
Hendrick is gonna sign Jeff Gordon right out for Ford.

Speaker 1 (29:39):
So I mean, yeah, it's happened before. In the meantime,
there's there's some turmoil in the I'll tell you what.
We'll get to that the Toyota folks. It's not just
the fact that their their team is suing NASCAR, but
there's some driver movement that kind of imminent there. The

(30:01):
way I got it figured, we're HAPPI you're tuned in
on New Hampshire Day as the second round of the
playoffs begin, We'll be back right up to these.

The Dan Patrick Show.

Speaker 15 (32:19):
Anthony Edwards, you know, when you're drafted that high, it's like, okay,
we want to see what you have. Anthony Edwards is
twenty three. So you got to be fair to the
timeline here because we were looking for the next Jeordian
for how long. Well, we're still looking for the next
Jordan Anthony Edwards. He reminds me of the Jordan.

Speaker 12 (32:34):
No, not me, not yet The Dan Patrick Show, and
and you the Dan Patrick Show. We dazed eight am
on Fox Sports nine.

Speaker 1 (32:48):
Now the other side of that, Toyota has a situation
on their hands, not only of course with the lawsuit,
but we have to find places for drivers that are
in their pipeline. And as most of these pipelines go,
you know, that's very limited the room. There's no room
at the end at this point. And we've got a

(33:10):
truck champion, a truck maybe not champion, but a guy
that's winning all the damn races in the Truck Series
and Corey Heim, who's a can't miss Cup driver. He's
in the pipeline for Toyota and they've got to find
a place for him. There are a couple of possibilities
out there. One of them might be and I'm just

(33:33):
it's just conjecture. Riley Herbst in that thirty five car
has not exactly done very much. But I guess he
does bring money, which is important. And I don't know
how much money Corey Heim has, But who would you
really rather have driving for you? A guy that can win,
a guy that can you know, pay for his ride.
There are a couple of possibilities out there, right guys.

Speaker 7 (33:55):
I mean that's been the perennial argument. Do you put
talent in or do you put money into your And
I think that that's kind of been the cancer that's
eaten away at our sport.

Speaker 3 (34:04):
Question is does Corey Heim need to go to the
Cup Series right away? I mean, do we have to
anoint him the next best thing? Because all he's done
is run trucks?

Speaker 4 (34:14):
Right Dan?

Speaker 6 (34:14):
I mean really yeah, I don't know how that's going
to translit to that he's decent in a cup right?
He had a really good race at Bristol and a
third twenty three to eleven car. I'm really surprised the
next progression is always trucks, Exfinity and then Cup. I'm
really surprised that he wouldn't go to a due Gibbs
Racing Exfinity car. I realized he probably doesn't bring the money,
and some of his other kids that are in those
cars do, but why why not? And then if the

(34:36):
natural progression would be I would put him in that
that Xpinity car Forgibbs. And when Hamlin supposedly retires after
twenty seven, well there's your driver for the eleven car.
I mean, if you worked it out that way like
it used to be. Now, you know, is Corey Haidning
that patient? He's been pretty patient already. You know, maybe
if the another opportunity came back to jump to the
Cup Series, you gotta do. But you gotta pick a
ride that you can't. You gotta get the competitive ride.
If you kind of pigeonholing yourself into a non competitive rides,

(34:58):
you never get out of that.

Speaker 3 (35:00):
That that aura, and with the and with Connor Zilich
moving up next year, the Infinity Series is wide open.
You know, so corey Heim could hop over there and
dominate that like Zilich is doing this year. I mean,
that would make the most sense instead of just but
you know, everybody wants to get to the Cup Series
right away.

Speaker 4 (35:13):
There's there's no weight anymore. And that's that's society as.

Speaker 6 (35:16):
A Whole's funny you say they're all Toyotas, but apparently
know the al Toytas don't really work together or something
like they're still kind of separate.

Speaker 1 (35:22):
You know, something just crept up on me here. Corey
Heim has been so unbelievably great in the Truck Series
this year, and he's gonna be a shoe into the
final four obviously. And I'm just going ahead of you
just a little bit here, PJ By saying yesterday in
the Truck Series, corey Heim won the race again. Tie

(35:47):
Majeski advanced, he finished fifth, and he advanced to the
next round. I just I'm telling you I can see
what's coming. Corey Heim is gonna win everything until they
get the Phoenix where Tye is fantastic and ty Majeski's
gonna beat his ass and win another championship. And can

(36:08):
you hear the whining. I can just imagine, Oh.

Speaker 4 (36:13):
There's something wrong with a system.

Speaker 1 (36:15):
Where you got a guy who wins all the races
and doesn't win the championship. That's argument.

Speaker 4 (36:19):
Yeah, go ahead, PJ.

Speaker 7 (36:20):
I was just gonna say, and don't even rule out
Lane Riggs. Okay, I mean that guy's been coming on
hot too. So I think the thing that'll get Coreyheim
if he does not get the championship is that they
will be a little too overconfident and that is what
burns you.

Speaker 3 (36:38):
And that's yeah, that's the argument with the playoff system
we have. You know, of the of the three national tours,
two of them are being absolutely dominated this year. And
that's why there's been such a cry for a different
points system, because ultimately a champion might not be the
guy who's the best Carl year.

Speaker 6 (36:53):
No, wait a minute. Back in twenty two thousand and three,
we had a guy win eight races a year in
the Cup Series, and then with Scott guy came in
and finished consistently the whole year and won the championship
and we were mad and we changed the points around.
So I mean, if we have a guy winning all
the races and now what other Wiscons's gonna come back
and they do the same thing. They said, was nothing
going to happen with the system?

Speaker 5 (37:11):
Yeah, it doesn't matter what happens. Everybody's gonna complain.

Speaker 1 (37:15):
Yeah, Yeah, there's gonna be the the that goes with everything.
In fact, this week, I believe I saw Keselowski come
out and agree with Mark Martin that this system is
flawed and we need to go back to a full
season points like we had before. And here's a here's
a driver slash car owner that's saying the same thing,

(37:36):
and you know, is there gonna be any juice behind it? Well,
what I said when we talked about this a couple
of weeks ago is it's not exactly NASCAR's call anymore.
I mean, obviously they're the ones that put out the thing,
but it's it has to do with the television needs
to compete with the NFL in the fall, and the
only way to do that is to have some kind

(37:56):
of a full playoffs, So you can really what the
emphasis on a couple of drivers, which just makes it
hilarious when in the race itself, someone other than one
of their precious playoff drivers wins the race. That just happens.

Speaker 6 (38:13):
You don't make that many calls at the fundamentals of
every other sport they cover, and they don't tell, you know,
football will have five downs because we don't like four.
We want to give another chance. They don't tell, you know,
six strikes.

Speaker 3 (38:23):
They may have pushed Baseball for the extra playoffs though,
because remember when we that I don't know what year
it was, Baseball had a whole bunch of extra games
because there's all these ties and was at eighteen maybe
the bruise met the meal that too, and then boom,
all of a sudden, we added it because they're like, well, that.

Speaker 4 (38:35):
Made for great TV the you know, the win one
in your in games or whatever. So they do a
little bit.

Speaker 3 (38:40):
But I mean NASCAR just takes the bait because I think,
as we see, they need the money. I mean, they
need every dime TV gives them, you know. I mean, heck,
we can't even like I said, we just can't. We
can't have a banquet now because TV doesn't want to
do it anymore. So I think NASCAR has so much
more at stake with TV money than any of the
other sports. The other sports kind of survive with what
they got, but there's also way more of them.

Speaker 5 (39:02):
But do they really need the money?

Speaker 7 (39:03):
I mean, we did see a little peak at the
books there that they were ready to basically.

Speaker 5 (39:07):
Run the whole show without.

Speaker 1 (39:11):
Maybe.

Speaker 7 (39:12):
Yeah, I mean, I know money rules everything and it
corrupts everything too, and I do have it.

Speaker 5 (39:16):
That's the problem.

Speaker 1 (39:18):
Yeah, you want to somehow compare it to stick and ball,
like they say, it would be a little bit like
the winningest team in all of baseball wouldn't win the
World Series?

Speaker 6 (39:32):
Pretty much? Does I remember a football team going sixteen
and oer and then losing in the Super Bowl. The
guys beat the Patriots that year.

Speaker 4 (39:39):
The Packers the number one seed how many times and
lost in the playoffs early on.

Speaker 5 (39:42):
Dude, don't even start. I'm a Viking fan over here.

Speaker 1 (39:44):
There's a there is such a thing. Let's all's let's

probably twenty twenty two. I want to see your twenty
oh yeah down there you have it up in our
neck of the woods.

Speaker 1 (46:22):
Wherever that is.

Speaker 4 (46:25):
Northeastern Wisconsin.

Speaker 7 (46:27):
That is everything this week, all right onto the asphalt
side of things. Last Sunday at Braceway Park, the National
Short Track Championship Weekend six out two Late Model Winter
was Adam Hanson Super Lates went to Gabe Summers Friday
night at Jefferson Speedway. The Wisconsin State Championship Round one
Late Model Winter Clayton Story Midwest Truck Series winner was

(46:49):
Nicholas Van yesterday and last night pe.

Speaker 6 (46:53):
Did that Dulson. That was Ty Frederickson. He transponder didn't
work out some my race pass had.

Speaker 5 (46:58):
I'm sorry, You're.

Speaker 1 (46:59):
Right, he's stunk it up, ty Ty stuck.

Speaker 7 (47:02):
He's been stinking up a lot of things, all right. Sorry, Yes,
I watched that race. I guess I should have known that. Apologies,
But let's see where was I at Arkhamnard Series? We
didn't talk about that. That was at Salem's Speedway. Your
winner was Brendan Butterbean. Queen jag Cra All Star Tour
was at Ouasso Speedway in Michigan. The winner was Brett

(47:24):
Paul Barrett Paul Hamos Jefferson Speedway. For the Wisconsin State Championship,
Round two Late Model Feature winner for the first one
was Michael Builderback in his Toby Car. Late Model Feature
winner number two Jen Ericsson in his Toby Car. Ericson
also was the overall champion for the late models. The
Midwest Truck were running again and Eugene gregorch the Third

(47:48):
picked up the win and his Toby truck. The overall
champion was Grant Greasebock. Another championship for Greasebock the ASA
Midwest Tour at Elko Speedway. Ty Fredrickson can ten ues
his domination. He picked up that win pretty important for
him and his family up there. It was in honor
of Dan Ryan who lost his life to als, and

(48:10):
that was a pretty emotional win for that whole family.
And then the late Model winner was Jacob Gady, who
which wean I'll get to you to let you kind
of share that, but he ended up picking up the
national championship then with that win, so congrats to him.

Speaker 5 (48:24):
But it was a wreck. It came across the checkers.

Speaker 6 (48:28):
Yeah, it was quite a race. And who was in
that nine car?

Speaker 12 (48:31):
Was it Anders?

Speaker 5 (48:33):
And Yeah?

Speaker 6 (48:34):
And they were, I mean they were side by side
for a good fifteen laughs and battling for the win.
And because the guy that Gaty was going against, Oud East,
had a bad night, they figured he asked if he
won this feature race and had enough points to win
the national championship, he pretty much had a lot on
the line and I think if he would have finished second,
he still would have had that, and so people are like, boy,
you're really going for this win. And in the National

(48:56):
Championship he could have backed off and either of them did.
And they were side by side coming off a turn
four Anderton kind of slipped a little bit on the inside.
Katy scored ahead at the line and took the checker flag,
but they came together and they kind of crashed into
turn one. It was pretty spectacular and I guess he's
gonna be the national champion. We'll find out for sure
on Monday when Daytona Beach does all the points calculations
that everybody they're calculators up here, says Jacob Katie is

(49:17):
gonna win that.

Speaker 5 (49:17):
Which is cool. That's his second one.

Speaker 3 (49:20):
I was sitting next to Katy Spotter during the during
the super late race, and he said the car really
wasn't damage. It's just the second race doesn't count for
a national point. So that's why he didn't. He didn't
run it, and he had to be in his super
late to start in his spot, which he was the
fast qualifier last night. So but yeah, fortunately it looked
a lot worse. But he goes he really wasn't a
whole terrible amount of damage and PG that's his.

Speaker 6 (49:40):
Second one here. You got a lot of people around
here that win national champions in that Naskcurtial, don't we Yeah?

Speaker 5 (49:45):
Which is wild?

Speaker 7 (49:46):
You think more people want to come race up here
in the Midwest, but alas there anyway, I know we
got to go to break here, but I just want
to real quick share that next Saturday, the Valley Star
three hundred. It will be at Martinsville Speedway. It's basically

The Indy Car Series. We never really understood how they
weren't getting ratings and and things weren't all that great
for IndyCar. Well, they're gonna get a little juice next
year at the spring weekend, the March Race in Phoenix.
The Indy Cars are going to be a support division.
They're going to race on the same day as the

(53:54):
Exfinity car, Chris will be called the Riley, the Riley
Autoparts car, which is you know, the bush cars. Okay,
you got that. The Indy cars are gonna race a
double header with them on Saturday before the Cup race. Oh,
how the mighty have fallen? They used to fill that
place up for Indy cars over the years, and now

(54:14):
they're gonna be a Saturday support race. Can we believe it?

Speaker 4 (54:19):
That might fill it up?

Speaker 13 (54:20):
You know?

Speaker 3 (54:20):
And this is Fox is working with them, just like
the week before when they're in Saint Petersburg. The Truck
Series will be a candidate there with them IndyCar. The
ratings didn't look good, but their ratings were way higher
than they've been in years past. We have to remember
that this year was a big increase for them on
their ratings category. Yes, And the other big news they're
racing the Road America. Date is Sunday, June twenty first.
That's a big race around here, massive crowds and Milwaukee

(54:43):
gets two races again like we did the year before,
Saturday August twenty ninth and Sunday August thirtieth, the double
head arth Milwaukee Mile Oo Iowa does not have any anymore,
so they had to have two ovals somewhere else.

Speaker 4 (54:55):
Yeah, that's gonna be big.

Speaker 6 (54:55):
I'm guessing we got the race that was I was
supposed to go to Mexico. They're trying to put through
Maxo didn't have it happen, so they're going to take
that race. They had to run somewhere. The doubleheader worked
here at the Mile two years ago, so why not
do it again.

Speaker 3 (55:06):
And we had a huge crowd this year for that race,
so fans support that event and hopefully stay Fair Park's
going to have the whole big festivitis. I mean, even
Todd enjoyed it the year before I did. Yeah, I
mean with the big festival going on in the back,
and it's this year, it's the next year. It's going
to be the week before Labor Day weekends, you don't
have to worry about you know, hopefully kids aren't in
school or any of that stuff yet. So let's pack
it up. Let's make you know, let's make any car

(55:28):
want this to be a destination race. And I think
we can do it.

Speaker 1 (55:30):
And that's really cool having a Saturday Sunday doubleheader, I think,
I mean.

Speaker 3 (55:34):
And for people coming from out of the area. It
really makes sense to come here. You know, you can
come here now and you're going to get to CC
two full races, plus the plus the indian next race.
Just it just makes sense here. And the Milwaukee Mile
has been a great venue for IndyCar the two races
they've been here. Last this past year's race was outstanding.

Speaker 1 (55:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (55:50):
The key to all that is is having that fair
open that fair area and having the vendors buy into
it and open their restaurants and bars in between where
you can watch the races and and but before the
in between the qualifying and practice, go out there and
hang out with everybody. Everybody I talked to this year
from how to stay from Indianapolis or Chicago, where we
all thought that was the coolest thing. There's nothing they
could do where they were from. They had something similar,

(56:11):
very very cool.

Speaker 1 (56:12):
All right. Yeah, another news quickly, Mark Garrow, the guy
you've known as the voice of PRN. He's been the
voice of the PRN broadcasts since Doug Rice retired last year,
but he's been in this business for forty years and
he announced he's gonna pull a plug after this year. Congratulations,
that's a.

Speaker 3 (56:30):
Thinking the voice for the NASCAR now and this is
now going to be the third unit row Two years ago,
Joel Moore no longer with MRN. The Value Ones runs
Berlin Raceway. Jeff Striegel he retired. Then you had Doug
Rice retired. Now you're got Mark Ira. I mean, all
of a sudden, boy, the voices that I grew up
and we all grew up listening to NASCAR, and they're
all gonna be gone.

Speaker 5 (56:49):
Welcome to old age, Brian.

Speaker 6 (56:53):
Aren't you going to borrow someone? Mark grow in atlantais
I'm talking about syndicating a nascarshow? And suddenly Winston come
today showed up right.

Speaker 1 (56:59):
Yeah, yep. I told him what my idea was. And
the next thing, you know, well, listen, we can't give
ourselves too much credit for his idea. All right, we
got a race today, New Hampshire. I'm gonna have PJ
start first because I already know who she's taken, Ryan Blaney.
All right, let's see, Brian, why don't you go next?

Speaker 3 (57:21):
I'm gonna just keep trying to jink some I'm taking
Joey Logano, Uh huh, Dane, I think it's gonna be
a penske Car and I can't take Joey Legone because
I said he's gonna get knocked off this round, and
darn if I took him, I'd be shooting myself on
the foots.

Speaker 6 (57:33):
I'm going with PJ. I'm a Ryan Blaney fan today.

Speaker 1 (57:36):
All right, and I believe William Byron is going to
flex the muscles and move on to the next round
because I picked them to be the champion, and the
rest of you all picked the same guy. In fact,
two of you picked him today to win to In Blainey.
So yeah, it's about time that William Byron started flexing
the old Hendrick mussels.

Speaker 5 (57:57):
There in Blaney we trust.

Speaker 1 (58:00):
Yeah, well, everybody likes Blainy.

Speaker 6 (58:03):
It's kind of st last week at Bristol when his
nephew got a hold of the radio and it was hilarious.

Speaker 1 (58:08):
It was pretty good. I saw it and I thought,
did this happen on purpose or by accident or what
is this? Because he did in the video I saw
he didn't answer the kid, which I don't know.

Speaker 5 (58:20):
Did he talk to him, he didn't want to encourage
him to continue to talk.

Speaker 1 (58:24):
That's probably a really good idea, all right, as we
mentioned ussay is where you see it today. The green
flag is at one O five and of course it's
head to head with the Green Bay Packers and the
Milwaukee Brewers. It's going to be a busy little day

for sure. Thanks so much for tuning in, and like
