butt car. I don't know everybody, everybody waiting. Everybody name

(00:22):

an unedited and no bullshit. Any want to just go
back to the pit. Well, he fucked up. Think it's
just my dad. We're talking about WRS. I don't know.
We got all these rules cudes that we see on
the tracks. I've been waiting for this home, even running.
You've been running for like five years, waiting inside of me.

(00:44):
He's blaming me. What's the media Bay range, Jackie Raine Jacket?
I raised it just like you join David's dos.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
I need it for the wind.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
You can talk to various drivers in their shop where
they cut their teeth, blood their blood and they make
their name and the sport that we love of short
track racing on a free and relax and grab a
road soda and enjoying the various drivers that we go
and eat and now on with the show. That's always
says every time. Oh, you know, we should do this,

(01:12):
we should do that. You're scared, You're scared? How are
you doing? Everybody? My name is Randy Phillips here of

so LJ Hey, how so we went to Florence. We

(01:38):
went and enjoyed the Florence four hundred this past weekend.
I enjoyed it, James, how far did you get? Well?

Speaker 2 (01:46):
All of Friday night we were good, and then sixty
laps on Saturday, and then I remember shit until I
remember watching Junior getting up the second and I got
it all excited, and then I watched him pull off
and I got I just said fuck it, and I
just left. So I guess we'll start the episode Fuck fuel.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
Pumps, Yeah, yeah, fuel pumps. There was a different person
you wanted to say fuck you too, but I don't
know who it was. You don't remember either. You were
too intoxicated. You lost everything. He lost everything Saturday and
I don't know what the fuck fuck fuel pumps. Yeah,

(02:24):
so focused one eye on the back, one eye on
the Budweiser car, let's get it. And it was really
it was really slippery on that grass. I'm not gonna lie.
I could not keep my balance, dude, could man, This
man couldn't stand up with a ship. Ay man, you

(02:47):
look you. I love you. I should have put up
the thing.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
I should waffle House because that was not enough fucking
pass brown for me.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
Yeah hash brown ball. And he was tit for the
rest of the day. So yeah, no, we went out
to Florence. We left work Friday. We both did got
here shit, canned fucking some shit to get down there
and just laugh. The thing is is, like people got
to understand, is like when you travel down here, it

(03:19):
feels like fucking forever. I felt like we were in
the car for four hours just trying to get down.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
There because it's a fucking street shot of nothing except
the sombrero.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
Yep, the big old sombrero. But we were having fun,
I mean dude, So we were on the way down,
James got pissed off, so he said, I'm gonna start
side drafting these motherfuckers. So I was like, So, I
was like, what do you mean, He's like, watch so
the first, the first, the first victim of this ship
is this person that was in the Mini Cooper. And

(03:51):
I tell you I could. I could see the headlights
coming through the passenger side window looking at me when
you side draft and quote air quotes right now, the
Berson motherfucker was shot.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
Dude, you see how quick he got back though? That
side draft works. Junior was fucking right. It works because
it makes him back the fuck off. So yeah, No,
Florence was the ride to Florence was long.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
Friday was fun, though.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
Friday was for getting half the three quarters of the
truck race and then the late Models it was good.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
Yeah, look past your fucking hood pins. That one truck
was coming to the front and then he just can't
look past his hood pins.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Did they hit each other? The caution was out for half.
The laugh just drives up the side of the guy like, yep,
you're an idiot.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
I never just ripped the whole right front right off
the fucking thing. That's that's what he did.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
Yeah, And I mean the front runners were good too.
It was a good race like they were. They were
real battling it out.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
And oh dude, that was the SoundBite we were supposed
to put on. So after I don't know who, Okay,
we can go to this who finished second? That? Oh yeah,
because he was he was talking in the in the
victory lane thing. I canna go to race monitor. We
relate to the party. We've been fucking busy ever since

(05:12):
we got back, uh buck floor, and I gotta go
to race results. But yeah, so, so the the super
trucks were eventful. That was that was for sure? Was
it Willie Granger that finished second? What was the car number?

(05:33):
Something that?

Speaker 2 (05:34):
Because I know Matt Cox won because he won almost
everything that weekend.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
It was the guy that finished second in the super
trucks that was saying all that stuff, right.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
Yeah, I think it was either second or third. But yeah,
I'm actually looking on flow to see if they put.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
It up one of the guys. Yeah, but he had
a lot to share about Dusty, that one that won
the truck raise. And Jame's like, we gotta get that
sound bite, and he was like he was a no
driving son of a bitch and anytime he tried to
make a run on him. He just blocked the shit
out you or cut your nose off or something like that.

(06:08):
And I was like, damn. I was like, they're not
They're not holding anything back. But like you were saying,
the Lemony Late Models are definitely uh, well, we didn't
see the rest of it. We were supposed to do
this at Ant's house and Aunt could have done this
for us, so I way help. But uh, the Limony

(06:30):
Late Models, they had a they had a hell of
a show. Matt Cox and Ricky Leclair Junior were battling
it out, uh for the wins for like ten fifteen laps,
which was awesome to watch. Darren Krintz Junior uh rounded
out the top three for that. But that that race

(06:52):
between him and Matt Cox and Ricky was really good.
I mean three three thirty eight thousands of a second
or something like that, whatever that decimal is. I think
that's thirty eight thousands, Yeah, yeah it is. So that
was a hell of a margin of victory right there.
And I mean, I don't Ricky doesn't have the money

(07:15):
like that he's racing against out there, especially in the
limited Late Model, so to see him like he led
a good amount of laps and then he was staying
up there for most of the race, I mean, riding
and going and just riding it out for the ninety
six lap memorial race that they were doing. Did you
find it?

Speaker 2 (07:34):
I mean I found a recap where said I was
just getting crazy at the end of the race, and
it's just guys Jocelyn three wide, two wide swapping. I
didn't see anything like dumb. Yeah, I was trying to
see if they actually what have on?

Speaker 1 (07:49):
What did we do? After that? We went home, We
went went over to Ants. Shout out to Ant for
allowing us to stay there. Uh, cricking my fucking neck.
I woke up in the morning. I slept weird. It
wasn't bad. I should I should have adjusted myself before
I went to bed, but double sweated up. Dude. It
was cold. It was really cold. It was cold. That

(08:11):
first night was cold. The second night too. I don't
remember that, so I know you were gone. I was warm.
James was somewhere. James popped open the bottle of Crown
Apple and fucking he didn't drink it. But there was
this meme that I shared, and it was like, if
if I popped this crack crack open this crown Crowned
Royal Apple. It's about eighty five out here.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
Just to let you guys know, it's cheaper just to
do it with Miller LT and you feel the same way.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
I dude, you didn't have that much. No.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
I think it's because I literally didn't eat shit besides
that waffle house.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
So did we? I don't know.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
Yeah, well, I'm also half your side, so like, I
need to eat a lot when I drink. Like usually
when I go drinking, I'm eating like a I'm eating
like a fat kid at a buffet.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
Me and Aunt were looking at each other. We already
killed the two twelves that we got, so we had
no more beer. We had those shitty fucking twisteds garbage beers.
Stop drinking them, please please stop.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
For twenty dollars for a twelve pack your fucking crack out.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
You might as well go get high noons or something
like that. Uh. But me and Aunt were looking at
each other and we're like, how many did he have?
Because we brought the bottle of whiskey, which is great.
That was awesome. Always have a bottle of whiskey for
big races. Definitely my hot tip for the day. Did
I have any of that? Dude? You you had three

(09:36):
shots of it? Okay? Were they shots or chugs? They
were shots like my swig back come back.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
Okay, there's where I fucked up. That's literally where I
fucked up.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
Right there, doesn't even know he had a whiskey.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
Well, that's where that's where the blackout comes in me
and whiskey blackout.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
You only had three fucking shots.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
Yeah, it only takes three. What I'm drinking, it only
takes three, So I don't do them at all.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
So me and I took more shots than you did
that night, and I was fifteen beers easily. I don't
know by the time. Fucking I think you just sobered
us all up, perfect glad to be of service. He
allowed us to sober up. But me and Aunt looked

(10:22):
at each other and were like, how much did he have?
I was like, dude, he didn't. He couldn't have had
that much because I had fifteen. How many did you have?
He's like, I have fucking no idea.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
I was like, damn, I think I had five for
the Green Flag.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
But it was the shots that fucked me. He's doing
shotguns in the corner so this place was packed. So
let's let's before we keep going here. Florence was fucking packed.
I mean up and down the roadway. There was even
a guy that drove over a fucking state highway sign
to park a whole marge sign. Someone parked their Toyota

(10:57):
right on top of it.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
They sold out at eleven in the fucking more. Yeah,
and we got there what two thirty three, and yeah,
we literally had to park at a cemetery across the
street and then walk in and everyone's wanting you got
your tickets already? Like no, this is our first time,
Like come on, yeah, Junior in the bud car, Yeah,
you know it's gonna be packed.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
That guy with the fucking twenty seven hard cards that
was around his neck walking out, he was pretty bummed
he didn't get his tickets in time. That's what okay,
So here's another hot tip for you guys. If you
guys go into a big show, you guys know it's
gonna be a big show, get your tickets. Go the
night before, go watch the local guys. Get your tickets

(11:38):
while you're there. That's what you did. That's what we did.
Go What was it between the two days it was
ten dollars more, it was ten and get to see
and you get to see great racing Friday night and Saturday.
So I didn't understand why like half of the people
that were walking out, It's like, how wouldn't you if
you knew it's a two day show, Why wouldn't and

(12:00):
be like, hey, we'll go Friday. Get our fucking tickets,
so we're good. Fuck. No, there's like a line outside
and they already sold out.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
Oh how about the guys jumping the fence to get in?

Speaker 1 (12:09):
They were already in. No, well I think you were out.
But they there's three of them.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
They try to jump the fence and then they're one buddy,
it's gonna sound really funny.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
No no, no, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
The only, the only, the only, the only one that
looked like he actually played on a farm couldn't jump
the fence.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
So they sat there and coached him and coached him
and coached him to climb under the fence.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
It took a lot of fucking coaching. I'll tell you what.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
Yeah, well, yeah, I don't know, I don't know what
the yeah. So yeah, no, that it was packed. It
was definitely, I mean the first night we packed. We
I mean it was packed the first night. It was good.
I mean it wasn't. I don't know where all these
cars came bro it was probably a camping section. Which
we gotta get a camper. We gotta go get a camper.

(12:58):
I know, we gotta go get one. I gotta either
find a school bus or something. Could it be way
easier if we just school buses are cheap down here too. Yeah,
but don't you have to get a CDL for those things.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
Not if it's a personal vehicle. If it's a private coach,
you don't need one. If anybody knows where there's a
school bus for sale, let us know. Uh, but we
gotta do something because I think the camping thing about it.
I mean, going to Florence, go there for the SC
four hundred, You go there for the Icebreaker.

Speaker 1 (13:27):
Icebreaker is fun. You go to Darlington, we can put
a whole roof rack right on top of it, sit
up right there, fucking do that and just like and
just have a whole fucking camper that we can drive everywhere.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
I did think about it earlier this summer, buying a
minivan and converting it in the back, just so like
when I go to all these traveling races are wheeling.
I don't have to find places to go or like hotels.
I can just sleep in the back of the van.
I just grab a fucking shout out to Andy Newsom
for showing me that he has a minivan AND's got
a bed, it's got a TV and he just travels
around and the thing to all those races that he

(14:00):
goes to.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
Oh yeah, ah shit, I've yet to meet that motherfucker.
But I met him.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
I met him at Dover, who was my camping neighbor,
and they woke us up at like sixty woke me
like six thirty in the morning because they were drinking,
and I wake up. I'm like, dude, it's the fucking racetrack.
So I don't give a ship. Oh here's a joint
perfect yep, that's how it works. I mean handy that

(14:24):
they handed me that in a fucking Miller light first
thing in the morning, Like, all right, Dover's starting off.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
Well, yeah, so I knew I met Andy. Well, I
didn't meet him yet, but I knew of here we
go with the mic. Get your ship together, this kid,
we're just gonna you can take this off if you want.
If you don't like it, dude, No, it's not that.

Speaker 2 (14:44):
It's every time there's a small piece of fuzz on it,
it tickles my fucking nose and it drives me up
a wall.

Speaker 1 (14:50):
He misses him, dude. But I knew of Andy because
of his uh his photos that he took and I
thought they were fucking bad. Yeah, he does some good photography.
Party is like a bastard, dude.

Speaker 2 (15:05):
I went to could they invited me Memorial the weekend
and go to the six hundred like they got me
an infield band and I was like, oh, well after
Bowman Gray, like I'm gonna I'm gonna send it right there,
and I did.

Speaker 1 (15:16):
Bro it was great, like middle of the middle of
the day.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
It's hottest like.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
Charlotte in the middle of the summer.

Speaker 2 (15:22):
It is probably very so outside of the track where
the fan zone is with thirty degrees cooler than the infield. Well, okay,
because of how much banking is in the dark pavement,
it just radiates a bunch of this man's in full jeans,
T shirt and everything just hops in someone's pool.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
Didn't give two ships. Yeah, I mean might as well.
It's it's it's a racing, it's NASCAR. It was camping, Yeah,
it was. We've seen some ship doing that. It was
fucking wild. I don't think we have to go travel
around and see how other places are like down here.
But I still think the Hampshire fucking puts on one

(15:58):
of the best camp in experience as you can get
party wise so far. I mean, Martinsville isn't there. I
would eat shit so hard down those hills. Oh where
the camping? All these fucking hills everywhere, like we're going
to fucking Narnia through the fucking wilderness, Like god damn,
just fucking all these fucking oh my god, roll ankles.

(16:21):
I'd have two black eyes trying to watch the Sunday
night race. Dude, I swear to God, But we gotta
go around and like do that stuff. That's definitely one thing.
But my going back to my point was like, you know,
it's a two day event. Everybody knew it was a
two day event. It's always been that, And there's the
fucking fridge again, uh making its experience, but uh, you

(16:48):
know it's a two day event. You know there's gonna
be local guys running. You can go and do that
you know what I mean, and go get your tickets early,
because I felt bad for the people that couldn't get in.
By fucking a they couldn't get in. There's no way.
There was barely any room. I mean halfway through the race,
everybody started clearing out because it started getting too cold

(17:08):
and shit like that. And but like the main grandstands
were packed, we were over in the corner because we
didn't get there early enough. I guess we should have
showed up at like one.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
I said, we should have showed up our eleven. We
should have went straight from the wall hos and just
tailgated all day.

Speaker 1 (17:22):
We should have. Yeah, what the fuck did we do?
We went back to Anston, Hey, I have to. Yeah,
so we went over to Darlington and uh we met
this guy that that does stuff there and uh we
got to meet him and talk to him, and he
was fucking cool. We used to work for Gordon and
all these people and knows a lot of knowledge. But yeah,

(17:46):
we we finally went to the Darlington Museum that's right there,
and we walked through there and stuff like that, which
they had a lot of cool shit. James met his
real dad. Yeah, but no, that's what we did after
waffle House because Ashton wanted to stop there. Ashton came
down from Connecticut to enjoy the stuff, so he had

(18:08):
a blast. I know he had.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
I got to sneak in the track, yeah, yeah, legally
sneaking the track.

Speaker 1 (18:13):
Yeah, that was pretty cool. Yeah, so I think I
think that's cool. I hope they fucking open up that
backstretch because I would love to watch a race in
the Earnhart Towers or something.

Speaker 2 (18:21):
Well, earn Art Towers, you can still do. It's just
that me and grand saying we were standing behind.

Speaker 1 (18:25):
They don't do it no more. But dude, I did
it with Dakota.

Speaker 2 (18:29):
I don't know what fucking year it was, but we
went and dude, it was sick coming out, watching them
come out of turn two, which is the high speed
coming out. Yeah, and their sideways. Oh man, I don't
know what.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
So. Yeah, there's developments going on for the backstretch there,
which I'm not a fucking fan of. Don not at all.
I don't. I don't care if there's a new guy
there or anything.

Speaker 2 (18:52):
I I just want to do you want you want
condos on the backstretch, go to go somewhere else, doesn't
over have that.

Speaker 1 (18:58):
No, it's okay. See, well we have like a that's
like a hotel and a casino. Oh that's where I
saw the ship. Well no, same with uh Charlotte. Charlotte
has it too. Yeah, well go to F one.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
I hate that shit f one, like money wise like that,
because that was the whole reason the guy said was
they wanted more money, like we'll have one. You could
do get away with that not who what? Now what
average NASCAR fans gonna be.

Speaker 1 (19:22):
Like, Yeah, I'm gonna live right here. I'm gonna be
able to afford this. No one, no one. I mean,
it's true. I think it'd be cool to watch these guys.

Speaker 2 (19:34):
We bring our own beer to the racetrack because we
don't want to spend six dollars on one. Like you're
looking at the wrong demographic of people, my guy. We're
putting fucking sandwiches and backpacks so we don't have to
buy the souvenirs. So the fucking procession stand for a
twelve dollars chicken tenders and fries.

Speaker 1 (19:51):
Oh yeah, we're gonna talk about fucking souvenirs too, motherfucker dude,
are you fucking kidding me?

Speaker 2 (19:58):
Forty five dollars for a t shir Forty eight dollars
were a fucking butt hat.

Speaker 1 (20:02):
I got one at home, probably could sell it for
fifty five. I should have fucking started telling it through
the crowd for seventy. Oh, Christine.

Speaker 2 (20:10):
The one thing that was cool though, was seeing all
the old old school bud Year you know the guy,
all the people who bought the whole.

Speaker 1 (20:16):
Fucking fire suit. Yeah, buy in the fire suit. Fuck yeah,
that's dopest shit, like the old school Budweiser jackets. Like
that was cool.

Speaker 2 (20:23):
Seeing the old nostalgic NASCAR gear. I mean, it's cool
seeing all the new stuff too, but the old stuff
always wins. They had way better designs back then.

Speaker 1 (20:33):
To my god, I wish, yeah, dude, I wish. I
wish we would have a flood of that shit come
back to the sport. I could give a fuck about
Neon colors and fucking stupid shit like that.

Speaker 2 (20:43):
I could give a shit less about how they all
look the same. Now you go to each NASCAR haller
and it's like, oh, that shirt looks exactly like the
one at the other hauler. I'd rather a different driver,
I'd rather have those I'd rather have like the disparities.

Speaker 1 (20:54):
Yeah, the nineties early two thousands bring that shit back,
but they were busy. Yeah, I don't. I want local
guys to do that shit too, because I've always been
a fan of vintage shit. I think that's always cool.
I think that was when NASCAR everybody had their own
fucking twist to ship, you know what I mean, Everybody
looked like a cookie cutter motherfucker out there. I'm for

(21:16):
that type of shit. I want vintage shit back. I mean,
Connor McDougal does that shit, biggest fan of that stuff,
and like more people need to do that, and like
we tried. We started doing that with some of our
stuff on the podcast stuff and trying to get that
get that out and stuff like that. And hopefully when
I get more settled down here, I can start doing
that shit again. But I think, I think, uh, I

(21:38):
think the vintage stuff should definitely make a way back.
But going back to our main fucking point instead of
our fucking loophole that we always go to. People could
have went Friday, enjoyed the races, got your ticket for
ten dollars more, you got two days of it. If
you got your pit band, you can go enjoy everything

(22:02):
for two days. So a lot of people missed out.
I don't know why. So next year, if we're doing
this skin next year and hopefully you do this shit
like it's like I want them to do it, they
do it, not just like Dale. Well yeah, I mean
Dale's Dale's cool to see, like obviously it's junior, but
like you know how like thunder Road they bring in

(22:23):
a new guy every year that when the NASCAR shit's
going on up there, do something like that down here.

Speaker 2 (22:32):
I don't think there's many NASCAR drivers that will bring
that many people or it sells out at eleven in
the morning though, unless it's a legend in all honesty,
well you don't have Who's who's gonna do you think
that place could sell out over Tyler Reddick showing up
as I don't think.

Speaker 1 (22:47):
So you can add more people to then just Dale.
You can have you can have Dale, Brad Keselowski, Tyler Redick.

Speaker 2 (22:54):
Yeah, but ninety five percent of them are gonna be
there for Dale.

Speaker 1 (22:57):
It doesn't matter if you're getting more bang for your
but I mean they need more seating. I mean, just
Doawn alone. There was over five thousand people there couldn't
even park in the place. We're parking on people's fucking
grave sites. For fuck's sake. Sorry dog, whoever it was.
We did not. We didn't. We didn't. No, we didn't.

(23:18):
I know, I guess, I guess I'll be the nice
We didn't. Well, we were. We were about two seconds
away from having to there's people. Maybe you could spit
and be right on someone. It wasn't a great idea
to park them over there. Definitely should pick a different
fucking spot, or go clear some more fucking land out,

(23:39):
or park them to where park them better because member
all the spots. When I saw, oh my god, there
was so much more room that they could get people in,
and Ashton tried to get a truck in. They're like,
you're not going in. I was like, oh, we're a
total driver. We gotta get the trailer so we can't
have you come in. I'm like, the fuck you mean?
You see his band?

Speaker 2 (24:00):
Come on, we gotta get our Legends car out of
the key is go to get my Legends car out
of you.

Speaker 1 (24:05):
Well, So that was another crazy thing that Friday night.
That fucking whole truck team lost fucking everything in the
parking wild not a florence of a fucking do you
know what's wild?

Speaker 2 (24:16):
I think that trailer was parked right where we were sitting,
because they looked and it was something and I had
to do I don't remember what truck it was. But
then all of a sudden just left, like midway through
the first race, and I was like, I don't know
if that's good or not.

Speaker 1 (24:28):
Nah, it looked the same, but I don't think it
was the same thing. Yeah, people were fucking parking, fucking
Mini Cooper dragsters there the fuck's going on? But but uh, yeah, no,
if it's a two days show, go Friday, go enjoy
some local guys run against each other, which was a

(24:49):
great show for what we saw, even though we got
there latest shit. And then I mean, Kilan Harvick was
running Friday night and ship like that, and like, go Friday,
get your tickets, then go the actual fucking day. Don't
wait until the day of racing. If you know a
big name is gonna be there, like Dale or something like.

Speaker 2 (25:11):
That, especially if he's in an iconic car like the
fucking bud Car. Guys, Yeah, I know, the fucking bud Car,
the most iconic car he drove. You don't think people
are gonna be lining up out the fucking door running
over street signs, You're wrong, because they're gonna.

Speaker 1 (25:24):
Yeah, he ran that scheme for fucking years. I mean,
I couldn't put a date on it, but from when
he started all the way to whenever he.

Speaker 2 (25:33):
Went to Hendrick, when he left the EI. Yeah, when
he went to Hendrick is when he didn't have it
no more. And that's when they went on like Casey
Kane and then Kevin Harvick.

Speaker 1 (25:41):
Yeah, that's right, Harvick's Good rent Uh yeah, no, what
was Yeah, No, it was.

Speaker 2 (25:48):
Because he went Yeah, because he had Budwiser, then Good
Rents and Shell. Yeah, good Wrench, Budwisers Shell. That was yeah,
something like that, Yeah, something like that. But so yeah, No,
Friday Night was good racing. I mean I enjoyed the
limited late Models. That was a great race all the
way to the end. I didn't see the Bandelaios. We
didn't see the Bandelairos or the legend scars. We saw

(26:08):
the kind of sucks. But at the same time, I
don't know how many laps they ran without under caution
compared to Green.

Speaker 1 (26:14):
I think they mostly wrecked in the practice and shit
like that and all that shit. But so Sunday rolled around.
There was no parking literally anywhere. Like we said, the
grand stands were fucking packed, which was a great fucking
thing to see. And I think more promotion needs to

(26:38):
happen with that. We need to bring we need to start,
and it doesn't have to be I mean, that's gonna
be Junior's race because he's always ran it. But like
other tracks, you can bring in people to try to
fucking get into a car of a local guy and
try to go out and run like we did back
in the nineties and shit like that in the early
two thousands. That's what we did, So they start doing

(27:00):
that more, I mean, but also like it's a big event.
But I think I think that'd be cool because it
was awesome to see that place absolutely fucking first time
being there. Place is a beautiful damn place. Uh, with
with what I heard from the locals, Zach Rice fucking
overhauled that whole fucking place when he took over, So

(27:22):
the place is awesome and stuff like that. But yeah,
so Sunday they but no, not Saturday, Saturday we did.
We did, Uh, the walk around Darlington's Museum and ship
like that. When saw the track and ship and and
met some fucking cool people, I gotta get ahold of
that guy. So yeah, we gotta, I gotta get a

(27:45):
hold of him. And then so yeah, so qualifying, right,
qualifying for everybody. Who Oh Doug Doug Barnes, he he
he nailed down the all position. Josh Berry was second.

(28:06):
I don't I don't know, I don't know what happened
to Junior s Car. He was like, what the thirtieth
guy seventh? I want to roll out? Yeah, he called that.

Speaker 2 (28:19):
He's like like fifty six or fifty third.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
At of fifty six Andy and and I listened to
the podcast and I and I and I get it.
I mean, on every track is gonna be everybody's forte
and shit like that. And I was just surprised, you
know what I mean. I was like, oh, because it
looked like it was rolling pretty good and fucking qualifying
coming out of Ford. It looked like really good. And

(28:44):
at eighteen, oh went up. I was like, Jesus fuck,
he's five tenths, six tenths off. So I was like, damn.
I was like, maybe it was that. And then the
second one wasn't any even fucking better, you know what
I mean. The first one was like eighteen to two,
and then the second one was eighteen You know. I
was like, but he had a provisional. Everybody knew he
would have a fucking provision. Yeah, he didn't even try

(29:05):
and hear his no. Well, he said in the in
his podcast that he wasn't gonna go tear up the
car if he had a certain fucking thing like that
and stuff like that. Like his podcast also called out
Race in America. Did he really Yeah, He's like, he's like,
guys need to get flow becau Flow's gun and it's
not like race in a sense. He's like, it's not

(29:28):
like Race in America where you pay a subscription and
then you gotta pay for the fucking pay per view.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
Oh so he's on my side on that. Yeah, yeah,
Race in America.

Speaker 1 (29:36):
And then he yelled about the because I posted it
on the podcast. I was like, Man, if you're getting
told fuck you by Dale Junior, I don't know if
you get over was that because of all the times
he said he was No, he's making jokes about his
qualifying that being slow. Oh and it pissed off Dale,
and I was like, damn. I was like, I don't
know if you get a DQ sticker or a fucking

(29:56):
award from pissing off Dale. At least he got mentioned.
I mean, he commented. The announcer commented on the podcast
page and he's like, he's like, I'm just trying to
get fucking the hoots and the hollers and the booze
and all that shit. He's like, as long as they're talking,
you're doing something right. And I was like, dude, me,
I have no problem with this because I I mean,

(30:17):
I didn't even hear I couldn't even hear the PA
announce so we couldn't hear him. We couldn't fucking hear him.
So so I was like, I don't know what he's
talking about and shit like that. And then uh, yeah,
he commented, and I was like, dude, this is what
this whole podcast is built off of, is just fucking
as long as you're fucking either making them laugh or
happy them off or pissing them off, you know you're

(30:39):
fucking doing something right. So but no, uh yeah, Florence
was decent. James got fucking obliterated.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
I mean absolutely I was the last thing I remember
up to like lap sixty ish. I got looked at
the board once and I remember like one to eighteen,
and I was like, oh, almost halfway Southern time. And
then and then, like I said, it was all a
blur until Junior was up in the second and I
started getting excited and remembering, and then I watched him

(31:07):
pull off and I got so mad.

Speaker 1 (31:08):
I left. James skipped over the part where he was
sleeping in turn one partially in and out. Yeah, in
and out, not off.

Speaker 2 (31:20):
You know, the drunk would want to close the eyes.
The race cars would wake me out. They'd pass, and
I'd go out and down the back stretch and I'd
feel my eyes just start to go.

Speaker 1 (31:30):
And then I'd hear him coming out of four in
my eyes and away go again. I was like, oh,
this is not good.

Speaker 2 (31:35):
And then Junior pulled off because you can't leave. I
don't care how bliterated you, I can't leave. Junior's maybe
gonna win the fucking race.

Speaker 1 (31:41):
He was close. He was giving trading and fucking run
for his money. I mean he was catching a boat
mention and trading. Lapsovich aka Casey calls Canadian brother I
just got off the phone with Casey. I was like, dude,
that guy looks just fucking like you. But he uh,
he had some good pace and he's really smart racer.

Speaker 2 (32:00):
I mean when we saw him Southern National to do
the same thing. Yeah, there was that tire conservation the hammer.

Speaker 1 (32:05):
YEP exactly, and he didn't have enough time for that place,
but he had enough time for the Florence four hundred
and he picked up the win. Josh Barry was fucking
struggling the whole feature. That's why he said he made
a pit stop and then went the card jone. Yeah,
they just went the ship. The tires went the ship. No,
don't say that. They don't get to say that. Send
an email, Send a fucking email. They know there's a problem.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
Yeah, but when you're when you're making that much money
on tires, they don't care.

Speaker 1 (32:34):
Who knows how many sets those motherfuckers.

Speaker 2 (32:36):
I know it was a four times, it was a eight.
You started on the set you qualified on and you
got one set at the halfway rate.

Speaker 1 (32:42):
Yeah I know that. Okay, so practice how many Friday?
How many how many tires do you need to have?
People start like big races? I want to find someone
that will go down there and just strike a board.

Speaker 2 (32:55):
Before the Hoosier had their shortage during COVID, they would
buy six sets of tires for Martinsville practice for the
Big Valley Star, and then you get your normal tires
for the race. But like, yeah, it's like eight. It
was like eight to ten sets of tires they'd go through.
It was fucking crazy.

Speaker 1 (33:11):
That's like y'all. I know y'all like spending the money
on tires and being fast.

Speaker 2 (33:17):
But like y'all outrageous, just soak them, telling you just
soak them, you'll get it back, It'll be all right.
Just gotta make we just gotta get them to stop
letting just letting them dope tires now, save them some money.

Speaker 1 (33:35):
They're not gonna fucking dope and tires is a band aid.
And I know a lot of people are gonna yell
at me for this.

Speaker 2 (33:43):
Yeah it's only good for five lops, but hey them
five ops.

Speaker 1 (33:47):
It's a band aid. And dude, some of the mixtures
I've seen down here already, Oh my gosh, I fucking
ran into ye I ran into a fucking jug of
that ship, opened it up. I was like, oh my
fucking God, fucking go pissed. Who fucking died in this
fucking day? Got piss best ship you can get, dog

(34:09):
that unless you're Matt Robinson the Mountain dew Dude, you stuck.

Speaker 2 (34:14):
The moment you go to a go cart track where
they do prep, that's all you smell on pit road
is just tire prep, tire warmer, like all the warm
because everyone's warming their tires to keep the prep good. Yeah,
all you smell the bacon all day. Get your fucking stone, dude.
It's fucking wild.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
It's rough, It's it's definitely fucking rough. But so yeah, No,
Sunday Sunday was good. Street Socks was a hell of
a race Betweenurday Sat damn it. Why do I keep
thinking it's Sunday because I just wanted to get the
fuck out of there. Honestly, you were fucking gone, So okay,

(34:50):
so we'll get into that. So but other than that,
we'll get into that. After this street socks were good,
Jeff Mountain. Then Ricky Leclair had to fuck battle out
in the street socks. I didn't realize on the minies.

Speaker 2 (35:03):
I didn't realize that the twenty eight and the other
Leclair car gotten a wreck on the backstretch. I saw
a video on it a little a little while ago.

Speaker 1 (35:11):
Oh yeah, yeah, they work pretty good on the backstretch,
talking about wrecks, fucking Connor Jones doing Connor Jones things
like I've always said that kid is a fucking weapon. Dude.

Speaker 2 (35:23):
I hope the winner of the fight got fifty bucks.

Speaker 1 (35:26):
It wasn't even a I don't, just Connor Jones being
fucking Connor Jones, like wreck the fuck out of Mason
das which to each the rown there. We'll leave that alone.
I mean, two of the guys that I would figure
would get into it got into it.

Speaker 2 (35:42):
Well, it's funny Connor Jones wins that Mason's racetrack and
then gets in a fight with the with Mason the
next week.

Speaker 1 (35:51):
Yeah, no, that's but I don't know, like Mason was
like he just fucking hooked me, just junked us. I
don't know fucking why he hooked us. But whatever. The
kid's got a screw loosen. That's for fun, sure, dude,
this kid's a fucking.

Speaker 2 (36:06):
We talked about this kid, so yeah, I mean, he
did good at Southern National, but yeah, other most other
times he's in someone's bumpers.

Speaker 1 (36:15):
Well, yeah, it's like, if you fucking get into him,
his fucking main goal after that is just to try
to wreck the fuck out of you. I think that's
what it is. I swear to that's why dog that
dude into the fence. Yeah for what twenty second? Yeah,
get a fucking grit like this is where this is

(36:36):
where because there's a lot of talented fucking drivers out
there that have the backing, and then there's a lot
of talented drivers out there that are more talented than
the people that have the fucking backing Tony Brettinger, and
they can't fucking get into a ride, and then fucking

(36:58):
they just do that type of ship and then it
just looks bad on the whole fucking sport. You know,
it looks bad on the team because they hired you
and that's what you do. They don't give a fuck, dude,
They don't give a shit. And I can be the
first one to fucking tell you that after being down
here for a couple months, Hey, I don't give a fuck.
As long as that fucking check clears. He can be
the guy at fucking Kmart that just came out when

(37:21):
with the winning fucking ticket, go jump in a fucking
late model wallet. In practice, absolutely put the front horns
to the fucking firewall, undo all your shit, go home
after and then to leave the team to fucking do it,
and they don't give a fuck. You'll be there next
week because guess what, you're fucking check clear for six
fucking races. So that's your spot.

Speaker 2 (37:42):
And I don't want to sponsor me because this sounds fun.

Speaker 1 (37:45):
That's fucking dog shit, it's and that's why I'll always
go and enjoy the Friday night races that are happening
before the fucking big shows because I could give a
fuck less. I could get like to each their own.
There there's some talented drivers in that fucking field that
do have the backing with a bunch of fucking people
that should just give it the fuck up, should just

(38:07):
the money, but they have, but they have the fucking
money to still show up and fucking do that fucking bullshit.
And I mean Connor Jones. He's talented, he is, but
he's a knucklehead. But when the fucking ship hits a
fucking fan, you're trying to put front horns out, don't
get it because seeing the replay of it, and then

(38:28):
like everything that happened after, he absolutely hooked the fuck
out of him. And I don't know why he he's
almost he's getting right up there with fucking van parking
meter up there, just wrecking ship. There's another fucking guy,
give it up. But fucking you got the money, so
you ain't gonna fucking do it, you know what I mean.

(38:50):
So that's my little fucking tiff on that it's just
shitty to watch because I'd rather enjoy the fucking I'd
rather enjoy the fucking Friday night guys or the Saturday
night blue collar guys fucking racing their heart outs out
there that you know, don't have a big backing or
anything like that. They have household cars, you know what

(39:10):
I mean. That they're rolling at a little enclosed trailers
and fucking I'd root for those guys every time as
you count car count over there. But that was another thing,
like they gotta make those stands like taller if we're
gonna allow stackers. Fuck, you can't see shit. You're looking
through fucking trailers looking down the.

Speaker 2 (39:29):
Backstre We got to see the front stretch turn the
entry to turn one, and then the exit of four,
and I was it.

Speaker 1 (39:34):
That was it.

Speaker 2 (39:35):
You can't even on the top, like we stood at
the top of the grand stands Friday and you can't
see the back You couldn't see.

Speaker 1 (39:40):
The backstretch see over these fucking stackers.

Speaker 2 (39:43):
Yeah, you couldn't see them over. The only thing you
can see on the backstrets when they're at the top
top was the where they would fall off the track
and almost go into the woods.

Speaker 1 (39:50):
I think that's the one good thing that happens up
north that doesn't happen down here. Two things, fucking forty
minute fucking driver intros, which is fucking ridiculous, and then
we sat there for thirty minutes just to fucking, I
don't know, talk about your day. And then the pits

(40:14):
being on the infield instead of being on the outside
of the fucking track so we can actually enjoy the shit.
Charlotte did it right. Put everybody outside, let them drive
fucking in, make sure they have a fucking road to
go all the way around, you know what I mean.
When we went to the dirt track, that's a good
fucking idea, you know what I mean. It's just hard

(40:34):
to see over those damn stackers. So we gotta do
something different at least so fucking fans that are paying
what was.

Speaker 2 (40:41):
It for the day, Mink, It was just not raised.
It was like forty bucks.

Speaker 1 (40:46):
Paying forty dollars. You ain't watch You're watching blips of
cars go down the back stretch. I mean there were
some people that I was looking at and they had
fucking flow racing on so they could see what the
fuck's going on. And then you already paid the fucking
forty to get in there. You can't see the backstretch,
So you either make the grand stands taller or dig
that fucking pit entry pit right into the ground. Because

(41:09):
please keep on digging those some bitches right in there,
because I mean that that That's one of the things
that I enjoyed that happens up north is that all
the pits are outside exactly once in a fucking blue moon,
they all but.

Speaker 2 (41:25):
Even Lee, I don't think they have big trailers in
that area where you can't see.

Speaker 1 (41:28):
No, nah, not everybody and their mother has a fucking
stacker in New Hampshire or New England or anything like that.
We welcome to the South, bubb Yeah, I mean fuck it.
They need to start accommodating for it then, because well,
I know what I think.

Speaker 2 (41:41):
When Wake County does, they're like cars to race. They
literally make everyone unload their pit box, the cars, everything
they'll need in the pits, and then they make them
drive the trailers out, parking in them, parking on the field.

Speaker 1 (41:52):
Maybe that's what they should fucking do. Maybe that's what
they should do. You don't need the damn haller there
if the fucking cars, what I mean, sometimes it's nice
having Jason's holler right there. I don't care if fucking
fans can't see over the fucking thing, then up and
out it goes. But he's not the only one. I

(42:13):
don't think he is. H No, no, no. On the
smarter North Wilkesboro was a smart idea because they were
on the back stretch at least, you know what I mean,
You could enjoy a fucking turn three four one two.
You miss a couple of things down the back, you
know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (42:30):
You really even when we were standing on the platform
like you didn't miss a lot.

Speaker 1 (42:35):
Well, we were on the fucking platform. We're the tallest
motherfucker there. That was nice other than the spotter stand.

Speaker 2 (42:40):
Yes see you guys get bring scaffolding.

Speaker 1 (42:42):
I that was That's the only shitty part about it,
is like I feel bad for these fans that pay
forty dollars and then all they're seeing is the front
stretch and blips down the back. I mean, we could,
we can call it blips if you want. But I
know North Wolkesboro sits a little bit taller than fucking
then Florence. I know that. So they gotta figure out

(43:04):
something because if they're gonna keep having stackers on that infield, dude,
they need to fucking do something that. Like what Wake
does is fucking unload the car, your box and fucking
whatever you need.

Speaker 2 (43:15):
I mean, we did a new Sumirina two when we
did the wheeling toward dude, you would unload everything six
point thirty in the morning and then they'd drive the
trailers out into the outdoor pits. So like all you
had was your you know, your your tents and your
easy ups, and you still had to take them bitches
down before the race started. You know, like the normal
what the most of the places do down here when
you have the easy ups is they make you take

(43:36):
it down when they have to use pit road. So
like yeah, I mean it's nice from a driver standpoint,
fucking or like crew fucking sucks because you gotta unload
everything and fucking find your pit stall. It's just it's
so much easier when the trailer's right there.

Speaker 1 (43:53):
Well yeah, I get that, but you can put on
it from a fucking trailer back and fucking load it
up and then fucking go mattered like half of these.
Like what people don't understand is like the NASCAR teams,
they ain't running the fucking holler to the races. Everything
else in closed trailer, in gloss trailer and a dually.
That's what they do. Every fucking team. Every fucking team

(44:16):
has one, Like if they have to go do testing,
if they're going to a fucking thing like that, it's
an enclosed trailer with no lettering and a dually. That's
all they're doing. So I get it to a point.
But if it's at a local fucking show, you know
that you can't. I mean I was reading just holler
signs the whole fucking night. I mean I saw it

(44:38):
turn three and four. We could read on the front,
read nice all night. Nice, fucking fucking all of them,
all of them. They just it just sucks and I
and I can only think that the people that were
standing on top of that, like did you see the
the crowd of people that were just right in the

(44:59):
fucking middle of the way just so they could watch
the fucking race. So that's my only takeaway from that
is like, fucking get rid of the fucking and I
love it. It's great, it's great with race teem all
that fucking shit, but you gotta let him fucking see something.
You shouldn't have people that are going to the race
having fucking flow doing it right there. And then the

(45:22):
Wi FI was it was gonna be like that at
a big race because everybody's there. So now, I mean
you also that going we also are in the middle
of fucking nowhere. Well I know that, but at the
same time, like what but like everything quit like that,
the feed on flow was went out, all that shit.
You weren't there for it, but the but the flow

(45:45):
feed went out and all that stuff. So yeah, so
James got a little bit tuned up, fucking got him
back to the house. You're steal best off.

Speaker 2 (45:55):
So I was just fifty two entries for Classic Weekend.

Speaker 1 (45:59):
This weekend for leg cars, Jesus ye, it's a big
race for him. It's their super Bowl, and there's only
twenty five late models for the Maine for the main Pride,
for the main show, wild for that big one. Yeah,
it's a decent field. Twenty five twenty five decent.

Speaker 2 (46:16):
We just had fifty six at the four hundred for
half the money.

Speaker 1 (46:20):
Yeah, I don't know. I have maybe the turnaround, I
don't know, not racing to turn around, I don't know.
You're the one that wants to continue to have fucking
haulers in the middle of fucking racetracks that can't have
seating that sits over the haulers. Pick your fucking battles here,
take them about. Pick them, Okay, least lease Hickory like

(46:43):
like least when they had Hickory, he was a hicker.
He's got big ass fucking screen. You just watch the
race right there. You can see the back shows right there,
and it's a flow feed, so you don't have to
pull out flow on the thing. You just watch it
right there. So maybe they should just all get billboards
like that, motherfucker. They're probably fucking should. In hell, I mean,
that was my only takeaway from there. But yeah, no,

(47:05):
James walked to Darlington. I got picked. So Aunt, this
is a funny thing. So it's three point thirty in
the morning, we're looking for you, okay, So Aunt, it's like,
he's got to still be in this circle. I was like, Man,
I've known I've known James a long time. That motherfucker

(47:28):
thinks he's running a five k when he's hammered. Dude,
that kid, that kid's over the railroad tracks, headed somewhere, Buddy.
I was like, he ain't in this circle. He's moving,
He's going somewhere. Four hours fucking walked four hours.

Speaker 2 (47:45):
Four hours Darlington.

Speaker 1 (47:49):
So what do you even remember it? Or no? I
remember at one point, dude, he should be a fucking Olympian.

Speaker 2 (47:57):
Dude, Dude, I remember at one point I was like, bro,
where the fuck am I? Because all I see is
a field to my left, a field to my right,
and there is absolutely no fucking light anywhere. There's no
there's nothing. Like they said they'd leave the light on
for you, they did fucking not. And then I finally

(48:19):
found the first gas station in four hours, and I
was like, all right, let's get myself a fucking mountain
due I need to get a phone charger. Because uh,
that thing's dead. I don't even know what time to
walk in there. It's four point thirty in the morning.
I'm like, oh shit, damn, okay, well the miller's gone.
Now James should be a five k Olympian. Just give

(48:42):
him a couple of fucking beers in a couple of shots.
Give me a couple beers in a couple of shots.
I'll power walk through anything.

Speaker 1 (48:51):
So yeah, Sunday was relatively quiet as shit. We stopped
by rocking Ham that's coming back. Fuck that place, I
get it, but fuck that place. I don't care. Fuck
that place. Fuck Rockingham, Fuck the owner, fuck you, fuck
me out of money. Fuck you. James used to work
there for anybody that's trying to figure out what Yeah.

Speaker 2 (49:09):
And he and he fucking he lends out the fucking
tire shot to a diesel company and goes, yeah, they're
gonna take over the grounds.

Speaker 1 (49:17):
And then you look at the three dudes of the
racing experience that.

Speaker 2 (49:19):
Worked at Caraway, worked at Myrtle Beach, worked on NASCAR teams,
worked at race tracks of driven you know, have race
and have all this experience, and they look at us
and they go, yeah, we don't have a job for you,
but you're gonna hire the random farm dude that just
drinks natty lights all day and and just cusses how
you guys suck at your job. And then you and
a funeral processor dude that was the only other dude

(49:41):
that kept the funeral guy. Yeah, a funeral guy. And
then like the farm hand, I understood, he's he's fucking
he's a brute, but he talks shit. And then they
kept the dude that never had a hard working job
in his life, and they didn't they left the three
guys that stayed the would show it first and leave
the last, because we were all out racing. That's all
we cared about, was trying to do racing. And they fucking,

(50:03):
oh no, we don't know, We don't really have a
job for you. Like you all fucking tapped, have fun
with your fucking paintball aerreening. Your monster trucks on the
front yard are ruining the grass that you guys just
had made. Hope Pitts Miller really liked fucking showing up.
And we're sitting here burning grass off the fucking cracks
of the pavement and have a dude in a truck
running Hoosier you know, the Hoosier bowling pins are down

(50:27):
the track, trying to just get some heat in the time.
Mother fucking tested for ten minutes and we spent four
hours out there. He did ten minutes. He loaded that
ship back up and he took off so fast. Oh yeah,
yeah they did. It was like one day that race
was supposed to come back. Yeah, and he tested his
ARC car. He literally used it.

Speaker 1 (50:43):
They unloaded the car and did all this shit.

Speaker 2 (50:45):
He ran five laps first time, pulled in, They made
an adjustment, ran five more laps, loaded the bitch up,
and left. Literally waste a fucking time.

Speaker 1 (50:55):
Waste.

Speaker 2 (50:55):
So yeah, fuck rocking him. You guys can go if
you want. Fuck that place.

Speaker 1 (51:01):
So Rockingham's coming back. I'm probably gonna go for the
trucks in Nickfinity. That should be a good race.

Speaker 2 (51:07):
If I see that owner, I'm gonna hit him with
that fucking rock.

Speaker 1 (51:14):
But it was cool to stop by and see like
the stuff, like to see the parking field and then
you see.

Speaker 2 (51:21):
Turn oh you might have seen the paintball field Turn
three and four. Now, oh, because that's in the park,
that's in one of the parking areas.

Speaker 1 (51:28):
Yeah, it's not that it was just open field. They
took pictures of it, put it up. There was no paintball, nothing,
no barrels still just chilling there, damn. Just just old
fucking barrels that they used to have when people used
to park out there and all that stuff. They're missing
the R on the front. They need to fix that.
The arc yeah, or is missing the oh so Rockingham. Yeah,

(51:59):
but I think it'd be cool to see that place
come back. It'll be really cool if.

Speaker 2 (52:03):
We went to a rave in the garages that they
had there.

Speaker 1 (52:06):
Is gonna go on a tangent circus. So it took
me that way back. I don't know why.

Speaker 2 (52:13):
Well, it's a I've taken that way back a couple
of times. It's a lot better. I like it way
better than the highway.

Speaker 1 (52:18):
Yeah. Well yeah, you go through a little bit. You
go through all these towns, so like that's the coolest
thing about being down here is like you go through
these small towns that just still have race and shit
all over it.

Speaker 2 (52:31):
How many driveways or backyard do you look at look
for an old trailer.

Speaker 1 (52:35):
All the time, dude, all the time, especially going through
Moorsville and stuff like that. Like going to work and stuff.
I'll slow down and just look at shit all the time,
like like it's cool because we're over by the drag
strip and being over by there, it's all farm. And
then just take a left into the performance all race cars,

(52:58):
Drag series, fucking modified teams, light model teams, NASCAR truck teams,
all this shit right there. And then like you come
out of that run plaza, donkey farm. We have fucking
cows getting out of the fucking field on the right
side today, like just in the middle of the road.
I'm like, oh, well, someone tell the farmer. But then

(53:18):
you go down the road there's there's two ARCA teams,
a fucking Mustang, fucking shit like that, and and then
you have Emmerlinks place and then green light whatever right
at the end of that place. But yeah, no, dude,
that's the greatest thing about being down here is like
everywhere you look there's racing. Even coming back from uh

(53:39):
Florence and then going through what was that Root One, Yeah,
that's the main one. Go through Root One. You go
through these small little towns before you get onto Root One,
you see racing stuff, you see fucking doors, they're still
fucking on the side of Barns and all this shit
you coming through and then you hit root one and
then you see Rockingham on your left side, and I

(54:00):
was hoping that some bitch was gonna be opened a
little bit. I wanted to go check that out. Oh
they have that gate closed. Yeah, they had the gate closed.
They had everything closed up. So that's I remember that.

Speaker 2 (54:10):
We had a couple people like, oh, we want to
check it out, and literally they looked at these guys
and straight out we'll come to an event the only
time he'll be able to look like, damn.

Speaker 1 (54:21):
Sucks. You couldn't even get to see what Little Rock is.
I don't even know where the fuck that is.

Speaker 2 (54:25):
It's a fucking like half scale Martinsville behind the racetrack.
That's where we were gonna run the Smart Tour before
we did the second cell of Boston Race because they
canceled on us because it's got fucking nothing. Literally, no,
there's just there's no grandstands. There's one set of grands
that you can fit fucking maybe fifty people on the pitch.
There's no fucking timing scoring on that then, because it

(54:46):
was made for the old Cup teams to test the Martinsville. Shit, yeah,
like feel like there wasn't there's no pit road, there's
nowhere to put fucking race cars.

Speaker 1 (54:54):
Well maybe next time I go down Route one, I'll
try to take that. Take whatever road will bring me
to that Root one. Just drive follow Root one all
the way. Literally, was that across the street? No?

Speaker 2 (55:05):
No, No, it's in the track where the backstretches of Rockingham.

Speaker 1 (55:10):
Yeah, it's a there's no road that leads out.

Speaker 2 (55:12):
It's an old where all the campers used to park
with all their hookups. Then it's the access road to
drive around the track, and then there's a little rock.

Speaker 1 (55:22):
But I's like, oh, there was no access road or
anything open, So we didn't really do that. But but
going back, like then we hopped on Route one and
we headed back towards fucking Crawley and then uh then
fucking the waters are fighting back today. Yeah, no, it's cool.

(55:44):
I love it. I love it out here. I think
it's people need to come out. If you love racing,
you need to come out here for just a vacation
or something like that. And I've yet to be a tourist,
and I've seen a lot, you know what I mean,
I've yet to go to Charlotte and go and enjoy
like the NASCAR Hall of Fame or something like that,
or or just go see all the stuff and like

(56:08):
just just working out here, you'll see enough ship to
where you're excited to be out here just by itself,
you know what I mean. And then the weather by
itself is beautiful out here. So definitely, definitely, definitely book
your Florence four hundred tickets, Like, come on down and
fucking enjoy that shit. Come to the Bash. Yeah, the

(01:02:19):
But no, we have the Bash, we have the Snowball

So yeah, we got Thanksgiving Classic this weekend Friday, Saturday,
Sunday for Southern National. They're running Bombers, Legends, charge Harders,
limited street stocks or no street stalks. They didn't have
enough people, I don't think.

Speaker 1 (01:02:41):
But they have a bunch of divisions throughout the weegin
for the limited.

Speaker 2 (01:02:45):
Yeah, well they have a bunch of divisions running caraways
running on Sunday for the original Thanksgiving Classic. I'm gonna
be working with uh Sammy Pachette again Friday and Saturday
at Southern National. Sunday at Carraway, I'll be having having
some fun getting yelled at by tech for something.

Speaker 1 (01:03:05):
You're on water detail. I'm on spoiler detail. You're on
water detail. That's off, spoilers off.

Speaker 2 (01:03:15):
Spoiler alert cars? Now, gay, can't I have a spoilers
on a race car? Whirrow wing or nerve bars? Hey man,
we're in the business agetting canceled, all right, leave it alone.

Speaker 1 (01:03:32):
You're in the fucking business and doing that. I haven't
been canceled yet, so we're doing all right anyway. Turkey
Day Classics gonna be happening up at Claremont. Hopefully the
fucking snow stays away.

Speaker 2 (01:03:43):
Brandy's too scared now. He came down here for two
months and now he doesn't want to sit in the
cold no more.

Speaker 1 (01:03:48):
There's no bonfire, there's no there's no sitt in your
car and watch. I got a two year old. I
don't care if it's me. I gotta bring a kid.
I gotta bring the boy.

Speaker 2 (01:03:58):
So it was bullshit of about that whole thing though,
because you're not gonna have the fucking beer ten open,
but you can't bring your own alcohol. That is the
dumbest ship. Do you guys want fans like you come
on like what the fuck are you doing? Let them
bring up six pack in a person or something like,
come on.

Speaker 1 (01:04:17):
They can't they have it has to be out of
the fucking thing.

Speaker 2 (01:04:21):
Okay, then open the fucking beer garden, you pansy. It
might be a little cold, the beer would be good
and the people will buy it. You're screwing yourself out
of a bunch of money if you're not bringing beer
to the racetrack.

Speaker 1 (01:04:33):
Take it from me. They allowed us to bring our
own beer. Bad idea. Everywhere everywhere. I guess we weren't
allowed to bring beer. Who says? I guess they were
advertising alf hoor as you could bring your own beer. Yeah,
who listened to that?

Speaker 2 (01:04:49):
Because every single they didn't check coolers.

Speaker 1 (01:04:52):
They didn't check yet they check tickets and hands stamps,
and that's about it. I love it down here. I
think that's awesome. I think that you should be allowed
to bring your own fucking beer. But I get the
point up there because it's different up there.

Speaker 2 (01:05:06):
Well, all right, guys, grow a set and take some
rules down from up.

Speaker 1 (01:05:08):
There, the rules and regulations all that shit. Well shit,
you don't know about that. You're trying to talk on.
Oh I don't care. I know. I'm just telling you
and I'm just telling them your beer guard, I can
tell you the same thing, like, oh we need a food.

Speaker 2 (01:05:22):
Truck, okay, then bring a beer truck, dummy.

Speaker 1 (01:05:27):
Anyway, I think. Yeah, So they advertise that four that
you can bring in your own beer. When did they
When did they advertise that? Because I don't know. I
didn't see it. I didn't see it at all. I
heard I heard it from someone else that that that
that they advertised it. I'm fucking walking through there with
two two twelve packs the fucking middle l it's the
cooler full of beer.

Speaker 2 (01:05:49):
I didn't see one person that. I didn't see one
person not have a beer in their hand. So I
don't know where they got that whole thing.

Speaker 1 (01:05:54):
Have a beer garden right there, you couldn't get to it.
Food line was long as ship. Food line was over
where we were sitting almost at some point. Oh yeah,
ye no. The food line there is always fucking crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:06:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:06:06):
When it comes to these big races like that, you
should have went there and tailgate. We gotta get a camper.
That's that's the next thing. We gotta get one. Yeah,
we gotta definitely find one. Ah, but uh yeah, so
go on, are you done? You don't me. You're tangent.
You're gonna get something in there.

Speaker 2 (01:06:24):
Fuck Clairemont for not having a beer garden.

Speaker 1 (01:06:27):
All right, I'm done. Are you done tangenting about shit? Yeah?
All right? So Turkey Day Classic, Uh, not gonna be
good without a beer, Oh my god, shut chass up.
Uh there's gonna be snow on the forecast. So hopefully
there's not, because the fucking last thing I want to
see going back up to New Hampshire is fucking snow.

(01:06:49):
That's for functure. But Turkey Day Classic at Claremont this weekend, Uh,
we'll try to be there. We'll see what the weather
looks like. I'll try to bundle up Boon as much
as he as I can. But if he's he starts
being a twat or headed home. You know what I mean.
I ain't. I ain't gonna do that. I ain't gonna
do that to a little man. Damn he's only two.
It's only two, you mean, damn no, No, it's almost

(01:07:12):
something else. Oh So Turkey Day Classic, Uh, Redge Runners,
PROVI eight, Sportsman, r he R E. Hinckley, Super Streets,
Goddamn New England, Dwarf Cars, Hudson Hippos, the Hudson Hippos return.
Hopefully they got a big fucking crowd for that, like
a big, big turnout for that stuff. Because whoever paints

(01:07:33):
their car like a beer can wins you with the
fucking beer cans. Ground Vix, Mini Stalks, pier Stocks, six Shooters,
and six and eight cylinder Enduros. November thirtieth, gates open
at nine, racing starts hit one.

Speaker 2 (01:07:48):
Oh, by the way, Jesse Jones is running the Mini
Stalks in Southern National this weekend.

Speaker 1 (01:07:52):
Oh yeah, honorable mention, Jesse Jones. So it should be
a good thing. There will be no feed for it
on race day production, So the only way you're gonna
see it is if you go. So go, No, don't go.
There's no beer. Oh my god, shut the fuck up.
And it's not alone in the properties to don't put

(01:08:14):
it in the back of the truck. You'll get in trouble.
Just trying to promote the.

Speaker 2 (01:08:23):
Race man, And I'm trying to promote that they're not
letting letting drink beer drinking race fans be beer drinking
race fan.

Speaker 1 (01:08:29):
Now what are they gonna drink water? They're gonna pregame
down the road.

Speaker 2 (01:08:33):
Oh, then we're gonna have them half in the bag
trying to drive in there. Yeah, smart, great job, guys, idiots,
it's dumb ass.

Speaker 1 (01:08:43):
Of anyways, taken a classes having in it. Claremont, make
sure you're there. Make sure you bundle up because it's
called up there. It was a nice sixty four fucking
degrees today and I don't haven't one thing to complain
about that, but bundle up. We'll be there until Boone
gets pissed off that we're there, so uh, come see us.
Will probably be in the grand stands or something like that,

(01:09:05):
and uh do that stuff. I don't even know what
episode number this is on. I guess we should start
labeling these fucking things again. But uh, thank you to
all our sponsors and our supporters and ship like that.
Thanks for Jans for going on tangents this whole fucking thing.
I'm glad you didn't die. Proud of you. You didn't die. No,

that's for sure. Thank god.

Speaker 2 (01:09:43):
No one saw how how I could not walk a
white line because it was grass, middle of the road,
grass middle room.

Speaker 1 (01:09:50):
Yeah, trying going back after I just told James, I'm
gonna come pick them up after we go and drop
everybody else off. I'm gonna come back with your car.
I'm gonna come get you. I come back and I
almost clipped his motherfucker off into fucking left field. Deep
four eighty easily would have slug the shit out of you, dude.
If I didn't jernk the fucking wheel of your car.

(01:10:12):
I was like, what the fuck was that? And then
I saw your little fucking bell bottoms you had on
for the day, and I was like, I swear to
fuck if that's James. So I go to the opposite
end of the road, so I'm facing traffic on the
opposite side and I beat the horn. You turn around,
he notices me, he goes, fuck you. I was like,

(01:10:35):
it's like, oh, okay, I told you I was going
back for you. So yeah, we had a little bit
of a tiffy. I still love you, buddy, I just
don't remember shit. I knew you were fucking out there
because you wouldn't shut the fuck up. If James doesn't

(01:10:56):
stop talking, and he can't keep his pants up. He's drunk.

Speaker 2 (01:11:02):
So well that was the sweat pants underneath they didn't.
I have that issue at work today.

Speaker 1 (01:11:07):
Every time, every time James gets ship faced. Those are
the two things that you look for other than that
toe is a little knocked out left side. So if
his eye starts going, he's going. So when he's going
on the eyes, just start focusing on everything else because
one eye on the bud car, one eye on the field.

(01:11:28):
I'm telling you, so this is the episode of focused one.
