Speaker 1 (00:08):
Anything and welcome everyone in the draft with Wilson and
was I'm Wilson here in sunny southern California. Meanwhile right
across the ear, if am here or beautiful studio by
the Bay, version two point zero. It is what mister
Scottie was what's happening in there?

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Was man, I love big marketing firms. I love them
because they send me free alcohol.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
Oh do they really?

Speaker 2 (00:33):
Oh? Yeah? Oh?

Speaker 1 (00:34):
And here I was disparaging marketing firms before we started
the show because I didn't know anybody had sent you
some free stuff. I want some free stuff.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
Had a nice marketing team said, hey, well, Seattle Cracking
they have a they have a specially blended cracking black
spice rum with some some Seattle Cracking logos on. It's
just the regular spice rum, but it's got the Cracking.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
The logo on it. Sure, of course, it's.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
Only it's only available in Washington. Amberdeen, the city in Washington.
But you're in Maryland. You want some? I'm like, well,
I certainly do.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
They were like the Aberdeens are close. Just go to
your local Aberdeen and fine one.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
Yeah, so you can get the you can get this
special crack and Spice rum with the Seattle crack and
logo at any Albertson, Walmart or Wright Aid because apparently
right Aid sales alcohol.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
Yeah, well down here they do.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
They're going bank right. They filed for bankruptcy again, so
I mean not for long. Yeah, but you were railing
against marketing friends like I stick out.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
For I know you have to. Idn't know. They gave
you some free swag. If they're giving me free swag,
I'd be on board too.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
Hell, you know, why wouldn't you be? Yeh wow.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
So they shipped that all the way across country.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
It was actually from New York. So the New York
people set me some and then I'm just like, hey,
but it's only available in Washington. I was gonna say, I.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
Can't go and get the Kraken Rum here, even though
their minor league team place here, I still can't get it.
I guess it's kind.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
Of weird that they didn't like put it in the arenas.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
Yeah, they should have had. They should have had firebirds
fire Ball.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
Oh that's a good one. Come on, man, why aren't
you on the marketing game, I.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
Should be and if that happens, they owe me.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
I don't know how much, but something if they claim
they didn't hear of the show, which, judging by the numbers,
probably right.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
Oh, come on there listening.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
You know who I think is listening? Polou Leo, Leo
the fourteenth, Leo the fourteenth. There are some people now
talking about They're all like the discourse was he Sox fan?
Was he a Cubs fan? Does? Is he going to
turn the eu Christ into a deep dish pizza bagel?

Speaker 1 (02:43):
That is?

Speaker 3 (02:45):
That is?

Speaker 1 (02:45):
Those are gonna be questions, especially the Cubs white Sox thing.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
Well, he's a white Sox fan, his brother, No way
really soundside guy, I'm sorry. No truth to the rumor
that the Eucharist is now going to be a deep
dish pizza bagel.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
Oh my gosh, that'll be awesome.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
But also a lot of people, because he went to Villanova,
they're asking what his huah wah order is. No, yeah,
because he was he lived in Delco, Delco. They have
more wah wahs than they have people, really, so it's
kind of weird there now people are asking what his
what his hogi order is?

Speaker 1 (03:20):
He said, well, you gotta have the they're the they
don't Sheets has the MTOA doesn't.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Have the mt they all have the It's all me
but it's the same thing.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
Yeah, but they just don't call it the mto like
sheets does.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
Nah. They call it just the HOGI to go, get
your HOGI to go. I half a half.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
Definitely would dig a wah wah sandwich and wa wa.
Also had those pretzels that were all in like a chain. Yeah,
and they would rip a couple off for you.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
They got pizza, now we'll.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
Have pizza wild well. I as we were talking about
before the show, I was rooting for Pizza Bala, Yeah,
to be the Pope. I wanted the Pope Pizza. Instead,
we just got a pope from the City of Deep Dish.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Pizza Pope that pulp. Man. It was one of those
things where the decision makes you your head spin a
little bit, much like the cars are spinning out in Tejas.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
Yeah. Man, So Joey Logano wins. And and this.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
Was a move, big move to get the lead too.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
It was a big move to get the lead, and
we got to talk about that. So you know, I'm
all for Michael McDowell. I was wanted him to win, Like,
if he won the race, I would have been just
as happy, right, I had no problem with Michael McDowell
winning the race. However, there are blocks and then there
are just like BS blocks. And I'm sorry Michael, but
that that was a B S block.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
Yeah. He wrote him really into them into the almost
in the infield.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
You can't run him down under the white line, dude,
And to Joey's credit, he stayed on the gas and
then somehow made that corner. I don't know how he
made the corner.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
Yeah, well, I mean it's those years and years of
doing that and then you know when the mcdalgate has
come up into the next lap, runs runs it too
hard and pumps the wall and.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
You know that's what happens. Not when I mean, that
wasn't an experienced thing, because Michael mc dawa has plenty
of experience. That is a not running at the front
very often when you're not a restrictor plate track thing.
And at that point, he was like so desperate to
keep the lead, and all he was thinking about was
the fact that he lost the lead. That when he
also then opened the door for I think it was

(05:29):
Kyle Larson. Then he was just panicking, I think, and
was like, I gotta try. I can't lose more spots,
can't lose more spots, and tried to stay tight on
the five car instead of holding his line, and that
it was all over at that point. Once the air
was off his his right side, he just spun out
just like just like we'd seen multiple people do during
that race.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
Yeah. Hell, everyone was just hitting that corner, hitting that
bump they were talking about, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
The bump on the high side and turn three. I
guess it was three between three and four. And if
you were up there and you didn't hit that bump square, man,
you're going around. I mean Kyle Busch did it when
he was like in third or fourth.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
Well, what's his name, the twenty one of.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
The Josh Berry.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
Yeah, yeah, he did it.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
It was the lead, Yeah exactly.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
And this is a race where anyway, like, honestly, there
wasn't There was only one guy who started in the
top ten who finished in the top ten. Everyone else
started from the teens and lower. Like, it's wild how
this track, this race went.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
And I think this is the perfect example of what
Richard Petty was saying during the end of their segment
at Darlington when he was like, you know, you guys
are trying, but the real action is back there in
twentieth and these guys are racing their ass off and
we're busy looking at nothing happening in the lead. This
was that race, right, two hundred and fifty four. Two

(06:52):
hundred and fifty four of two hundred and seventy one
laps were led by drivers that started seventh or better,
and the majority of those were top five drivers that
led those laps. And in the meantime, you had Tyler
Reddick who started midpack. You have Blainey's started near the back,
gone on near the back, chest staying near the back,
Ricky Stenhouse Junior near the back. Those guys were grinding

(07:14):
their way toward the front the entire day, and you know,
Kevin Harvick would mention it, or you know, clip Boyer
would mention it, but they wouldn't go back there and
focus on those drivers as they charged up through the field.
And you know, in a race where one guy moves
up through the field and then maybe gets some luck

(07:36):
on a pit stop, next thing you know, he's there. Okay,
it's understandable that they weren't following that driver the entire race.
In this case, they knew it, like they knew these
guys who were moving up consistently, and yet they wouldn't
focus in on them and check in on them multiple
times during the race and do in cars and say
how many cars they'd passed. Instead, it was all just
like those guys that were up at the front, those

(07:57):
four or five drivers up at the front, And it
was the perfect example of how the real racing was
going on back in the pack, but we didn't get
to see it if we were watching on TV.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
Well. Also, I mean even even on restarts and stuff
like that, you had you know, Boyer and what have
you saying, Hey, hey, Chris Bell's run getting run up
to the track and Eric Jones getting run up the track
and they're in a wide shot. Easy you can scan
to where they're at. Yeah, you focus on them, No,
right to the front. The direction of this broadcast is
so dumb.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
And I feel bad for leaving Eric Jones out of
that list of drivers because he did the same thing.
He looked really really good in this race until he
got into trouble eight. But he was another one of
those drivers that was consistently making their way up through
the pack.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
And was top five out of it.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
Yeah, and and they just weren't focusing on those guys
until they got there. And there was so many there
were so many storylines, and there were so many things
that happened during the race that they weren't even talking about.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
Yeah, and I mean it's it's with basically, I mean,
Chris Bell has a lot of story to him and
they know him very well. I mean it's not like,
you know, you got to find something on John Hunter
and Nimachek, Like Chris Bell's got that instant story already
in and they just don't even pan to him to
see what he's doing. And he's getting up there.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
And I'll remind everybody that, like as of what four
weeks ago, one month ago, they were basically saying Christopher
Bell should just get the trophy already.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
Yeah, they can't, which would help our show alive. We
can have an off season for.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
That exactly, And instead, like four weeks later, they're they
aren't even like paying attention to this driver.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
Not even going around to him.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
Yeah, I mean, come on, guys, seriously, you know the
other thing that I saw this week two things. I
watched a fair amount of Demi Hamlin's podcast this week
interesting and I'm not quite sure why. It was just
it came on while I was working on some other stuff,
and I was like, I'll just listen to it, and

(09:52):
and he gave he gave credit where credit was due
to Legano. He was like, you know what a lot
of people are probably gonna say, because he just showed
up at the end and he won the race, said
he backed into this win. He was like, I was
back there. I was watching him race, and I mean
that was a grind to make it through that field.
And he was moving up every every you know, restart,
he's moving up, He's making moves. He was passing guys.

(10:13):
And you know, you can't all of those guys, Blamey
and Mgano, Chastain, all of those guys. You can't just
do that with a good pit stop. It's got to
be way more than that. And they were the few
drivers that with this particular car could make up ground
and pass people on an intermedia track, which is something
we haven't seen really any track all year, is people

(10:34):
being able.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
To pass no no, And I mean they were able
to do it, but you didn't see it until it
was they were already up there.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
Yeah, that's the only time you got to see it.
But yeah. The other thing about coverage, and I don't
know if it speaks directly to coverage or not, but
the other video that I stumbled across this week was
a guy. I don't even know who this guy is.
I'm sure he's probably big on YouTube and I just
don't know, but he was at the Morgan McClure Motorsports

(11:02):
shop and he was talking to what's mcclaur's first name.
I'm searching it right now. I feel bad that I
feel bad that I don't remember his first name because
it's either like Jerry or yeah, it's Jerry, Jerry McClure. Oh,

(11:23):
I don't know. It must have been Jerry mclare. I
don't think it was Larry McLure one way or the other.
Was one of the mclaur's right and they had Sterling
Marlin's Daytona five hundred winning number four car there, the
Kodak car. That car had an interesting story. It not
only won the Daytona five hundred, but then the next
year Talladega, he wrecked it and then eventually they rebuilt

(11:46):
the car. Since it was a Daytona five hundred winning car,
they rebuilt it to spec. And then it's never been
started since it just sits there in the shop. And
so at the very end of the video they were
like trying to get Sterling Marlin to come out and
they were gonna prep and try to start it up
or whatever. But that's not the important part. The important
part is that year that he won the Daytona five

(12:07):
hundred with that car, they had debuted an X pipe
on the exhaust underneath the car, and nobody else had that,
and nobody knew what it was. All they knew is
that when Sterling got out there on the track and
the car went around at full throttle and qualifying everybody
or in practice or qualifying or whatever, everybody was like,

(12:27):
what the hell did they do? Because this car sounds
different than every other car, right, and that alone generated
this buzz. Everybody was wondering what on earth they had done.
And when they swapped out the qualifying engine for the
main engine for the race engine, like they literally put
a cover over the car so nobody could even look
through the engine bay to try to see what they

(12:49):
had underneath. The car, like what because nobody even knew
that it was just the exhaust, they thought there might
be something else going on with the headers or the
valve train or something, and it created all of this
buzz and he was talking about it, and they were
kind of going through the car. He started talking about
the other things that they would do to either cheat
or bend the rules. And he was talking about like

(13:10):
a hydraulic line that they had hidden in the in
the padding in the door that the driver could reach
over and open and close to change the vacuum and
the engine to either starve it of oil a little
bit or give it more oil. And there were like
specific reasons for this, and they don't really go into
too many of the details, but the long and short
of it was, as I'm watching this, I'm like, that's

(13:33):
part of the magic that was missing. Like these weren't
cars that were a designed on a computer and b
were engineered to the point where you had to go
everybody had to go buy the same parts and put
them together. There was like this leeway, right there was
room for creativity. And so it didn't matter if you

(13:54):
were Morgan McClure at whatever their level was or if
you were at like a Hendrick Motorsports level, if you
could outsmart the other guys, you still had a chance.
And there was so much stuff going on inside the
car that might have been in the gray area that
it created this drama where like somebody could bring something

(14:16):
in nobody had ever thought of before. And that even
happened as late as Joe Gibbs Racing. I don't know
if you remember when they instituted the ex template on
the cars, because Joe Gibbs Racing had figured out if
they just mounted the bodies a little askew that they
could get way more downforce in the corners and all
of that. You know, yes, the increase safety, and they

(14:37):
may or may not have decreased costs. I mean, that
is absolutely debatable. But when they went to the Gen
six and the Gen seven car, they subsequently eliminated pretty
much any creativity in the sport, and that kind of
reinforced the idea that it no longer was MCCA NEX,

(15:01):
you know, trying to build a hot rod in a
garage somewhere. It was you know, corporate guys all building
the same exact thing or being given the same exact
thing to go out there and run for the sponsors.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
Yeah, it's weird how it changed, how the corporate world
in capitalism ruins things. Yeah, because I mean you kill
creativity that way, and kill you kill and really, let's
be honest, you kill the essence of the sport. Yeah,
because it was always how do we get the fastest,
how do we get the you know this, that and
the other? How do we make this thing, get it
a little extra horsepower? Now you have to buy your

(15:37):
engine from NASCAR. Now everything's stock stock, Like, you can't
be you can't do anything inventive anymore. You can't do
anything creative, You can't do anything. You can't have these
stories anymore. Yeah, like, how did Joey Legana win this one? Well,
he drove faster, all right? Cool? How did how did
how did have the Morgan McClure team win that day?

(15:57):
Two one of five hundred? Let me tell you about
the time we just rechanged the pipes in the middle
of the damn ring, right exactly, you know, And it's
so like that kind of thing just shows you how
how creative and how inventive these Hillbillies were.

Speaker 1 (16:13):
Yeah, the story goes away, you know. I mean even
when it comes to like Dale Earnheart Senior and Jeff
Gordon right the East Coast, West Coast and the country
boy and Polish city slicker, like that image was mostly
crafted by Dale Earnhart Senior for both drivers, right, And
then later on you find that story behind the story

(16:34):
of yeah, we didn't hate each other, we respected each other,
and you know, Dale Senior was like, hey, if I
let's do something, it's good for the sport, and let's
play this up and have some fun with it. And
it ended up helping the sport blow up. You know,
but those stories don't exist anymore. And that's part of
what I think people are missing from the sport. And
I mean, I just had a hell of a time

(16:55):
watching that entire video and I was like, I want more.
I want more stories. I want more like talking about
different drivers and different things that happened, and different things
you tried in the car. I mean, he alluded to
the other teams and the stuff that they were trying,
and you know, Morgan McClure were trying their own things,
and I'm like, man, that is a major part of
what is missing from the sport. And you know, especially

(17:18):
if I'd rewind a couple of weeks when I was
watching Daleenhart Junior talk to Carl Edwards, and Carl was
talking about the incident with mat Kenzith at Martinsville, you know,
where he like flexed on him, acted like he was
going to punch him or whatever. He said that after
that happened, because obviously everybody saw it on camera. That
was right at the beginning of an interview for mat Kenzeth,

(17:40):
Like his phone rang and it was office depot and
they were like, if you want her name on the car,
you're not doing that anymore ever again, And he was like,
oh crap, I need to like listen up. I don't
want to lose my sponsor. And I mean, do you
think that Morgan McClure and Sterling Marlin were worried about
Kodak calling and so saying that X pighte better or

(18:01):
whatever you're do into that car to make it sound
that way better be legal, or we're pulling our name
off of it. No, they didn't know anything care. They
just wanted Sterling Marlin a victory lane with their name
on the side.

Speaker 2 (18:11):
And that's just it. Like they didn't care. They only
looked at the result. Yeah, it didn't care no matter
how it got there. They didn't care about imaging and
anything like that. That's the problem with the corporations these days. Man,
you get worried about image, and that's all this focus
and what the stockholders do. Screw it exactly. It makes
things less fun. And I also, you know, circling back
to the Earnhardt Gordon thing, the drivers these days aren't

(18:33):
creative enough to do that kind of guard.

Speaker 1 (18:34):
But they really aren't.

Speaker 2 (18:35):
Man, all they're all milk toasts or you know people.
It's there. All the people that have personalities, they kill
that personality quick. I mean, I'm sure Roger Penske really
killed Ryan Blaney's personality in a big way. I mean,
he used to do podcasts, used to be everywhere. Now
he's just not doing much of anything. Yeah, and the folk, Paul.

Speaker 1 (18:54):
And that's about it. And part of that is because
it makes so much money, they don't feel that that
urgency to try to do something extra to get a
little bit more pop, you know. And even somebody's famous
as Dale and Art Senior back then wasn't making the
money these guys are making now. And so he was like, hey,
we if we don't have any drama. It's generate a
little drama, get ourselves on TV, get ourselves mentioned, and

(19:16):
get our sponsors more invested in us.

Speaker 2 (19:19):
You gotta, you gotta, you gotta figure. It would be
interesting to see what uh Rick Hendrick would have to
say having dealt with, you know, someone like Tim Richmond,
having dealt with someone like Ricky Run Kenny Schrader, and
then you know how their personalities and how they ran
back then, and what was the change that now everyone

(19:40):
from from Jeff Gordon since has been.

Speaker 1 (19:43):
So corporate it's crazy.

Speaker 2 (19:45):
It would be a hell of a tale. And just
from a just from the insider point of view, just
like what what was the thing? Was there a conversation
with the sponsor? Was there a conversation around the garage
that flipped that switch and said, Okay, now we all
have to be corporate yes men who are getting paid
X amount of dollars and we have to stay on
the up and up, even though this sponsor will take

(20:07):
graces away for no indelible reason, despite making record profits.

Speaker 1 (20:10):
And probably the most confusing part about that is that
while that's happening, during the course of that happening, and
that sponsor influence getting stronger and stronger in that respect,
the big the sponsorship length and the number of long
time sponsors full season sponsors has dwindled almost nothing. So
you would think that if Home Depot were still in
it full season and Low's were still in full season,

(20:32):
and ups were still in it full season and FedEx
was still in a full season, that they would be
able to command that kind of control over a driver
and a team because they're funding it. But it's so
weird that the sponsor influence has grown greater and greater
over time and smashed down any kind of uniqueness and

(20:52):
individuality over time. But those sponsors are all they're all gone,
and they were replaced by sponsors who were trying to
wield a much power and they're only on the car
for one or two or five or ten races. You know,
it's weird.

Speaker 2 (21:05):
Well, it's interesting. And then Pete the listener of mine, listen,
listener of ours, listener of mine. I just talked to
him every now and again and just listen. He doesn't
say anything in return, but he sent me over something
from Sportico that got picked up later on by other
people about Texas am agreeing to pay three hundred and
three five thousand dollars this year to the Haas Factory

(21:25):
team for sponsorship in terms of you know, marketing and
everything like that. Last year they paid one hundred and
sixty thousand dollars for two races, and they've up there
spend the two hundred and seventy five thousand, so.

Speaker 1 (21:38):
You figure they'll probably get to get a couple more
races before the end of the year. I would think, oh.

Speaker 2 (21:42):
You would think so. So under the deal, Texas Am
will feature on the forty one car called Custard, the
Coke six hundred. Oh, you'll wear a fully branded Texas
A and M fire suit, and Texas Am will also
be associate sponsor for the Cup Series, appearing on the
in the front of the rear wheel wheel. Well, so,

(22:05):
and that little thing there, and then other stuff they're
gonna have, like the hospitality benefits and things like that.
So it's two hundred and twenty five thousand for primary
sponsorship in one race as well as that little sponsorship
in front of the wheel. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (22:22):
Interesting, Well opened, you know, the the other thing, and
then we'll move on. I got suggested an article on Google,
which usually those articles they suggest are kind of garbage.
But this one I caught my eye because it was
talking about IndyCar and it was somebody writing about he

(22:42):
and his son watching Indy Car. And I don't know
why this why this person decided to write this letter now,
because it's going on forever and especially in NASCAR, But
he was talking about like his son's confusion and how
if you're looking for young fans, it could create confu
usion because he watched one race and really liked a

(23:04):
particular driver, and then he watched the next race and
he couldn't figure out where his driver was because that
car was sponsored by somebody else and had a different
livery had a different color. And he was like, you know,
he said, for my kid, he's like, why why is
that like his car is read? Why is his car
not red anymore? Whatever color it was. And then the

(23:25):
stad was writing the letter, he was like, you know,
it would be like watching a football team a football
game or a baseball game, and then not every game
they come out in a different uniform, but every game,
every player comes out in a different colored uniform. And
We've talked about this so many times on the show before,

(23:47):
and I've never seen anybody else really directly mention that,
like in that kind of context of ohe I was
watching with my kid. But I mean that just reinforces
something that we've chatted about multi times on the show,
and it ties in to the lack of creativity and
the influence of sponsors and things like that. Like those
sponsors are so influential that when they pay the two,

(24:09):
even if it's just two seventy five, they expect that
car to look exactly like they're like they wanted to,
like their colors as opposed to like their logo on
a car that happens to be a color that is
super identifiable. Is that particular team in that particular driver.

Speaker 2 (24:24):
Mm hmm. Yeah. And I mean also in this day
and age where you don't, like, like we've mentioned, you
don't have one sponsor, Yeah, you don't have one sponsor
the entire year, So the car is not going to
look anywhere near the same race by race, and it's
confusing to people, and people don't know what to do
with loyalty, and it makes the T shirts all weird.
You you can't really buy a T shirt anymore that

(24:45):
has the sponsor on it. It's just a weird scenario.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
The only people that like that are the die cast manufacturers.
But then of course they have to charge four hundred
and fifty dollars for a die cast car.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
Well, well, once they get production backs exactly as posted
put their production on.

Speaker 1 (25:01):
Oh have they Yeah they're not the only ones, man, Yeah,
they're not the only ones, all right. So I said
that would be the last thing about NASCAR and not
being able to get fans to come to the race.
Although the attendants okay, the attendants was all right at Texas,
But if you looked very carefully as the cameras went by,
the attendance was okay because they blanketed off a lot

(25:25):
of seats. They had the big you know, the big
stretchy things with the ads on it, over the entire backstretch,
some of the corners, and then the low parts on
the sides of the main front stretch grand stands. So
of course, when you block off like fifty percent of
the seats, you're gonna be able to kind of make
the arrest seem full, which is what they should do.

(25:46):
I mean, we'd much rather have that than have all
the seats opening. Then just look at it. Have it
looked completely sparse, but you have to take the attendance
with a grain of salt, I think, is what I'm
trying to say there. So ratings for this one actually
were pretty good two point five to six million on
FS one. The last Texas Race, which was last April,

(26:10):
was two point three to five to nine million, so
about two hundred thousand more than that one exactly one
year ago was actually the Kansas Race, which is what
we're heading to next week. But your ago was the
same weekend that Texas was this year. That race had
two point twenty nine six million on FS one. It
was a rain the layed start, so take that into consideration.

(26:30):
But this number was still higher two hundred and sixty
four thousand more, so a little over two and a
half million on FS one. That's not bad. The I
don't know if I would say concerning part, but the
interesting part is a Formula one who was in Miami
this weekend. They did two point one million on ABC.
And I get that it's ABC's post FS one, but

(26:53):
you're talking about a sport that has been the dominant
motorsport in the United States forever against a world sport
that has just come to the US. To run multiple
rounds very recently. That's pretty close.

Speaker 2 (27:09):
Yeah, it is, but it's the new flavor, you know. Yeah,
it's one of those things where it's the flavor of
the week and you got everything going.

Speaker 1 (27:16):
And they've done a great job with marketing though.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
They have Yeah and no, they they've done a great
job with everything, and NASCAR is trying to do that.
Is there. I think their Netflix thing started off.

Speaker 1 (27:26):
Yeah, I gotta go see if you gotta pay for
that or if you can watch it. We talked about
that last week or the week before because it was free.
I'll watch it. If you gotta pay, I'm not gonna.

Speaker 2 (27:35):
Watch it, right, you know? Fine, I can't remember what
it's called.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
I got it here.

Speaker 2 (27:41):
I hang on. It's NASCAR and stunt driven NASCAR fast Track.
I don't know what.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
No, I think you're right, it's something close to that.

Speaker 2 (27:47):
It is.

Speaker 1 (27:51):
Full Speed, NASCAR Full Speed season two.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
I'm good for them.

Speaker 1 (27:59):
Learned about the series and start watching. Oh here, let
me let me clok on that link. We'll learn about
the series and start watching. This is a six minute read, everybody.
I'm not going to read it at all. To do
NASCAR Full Speed blah, blah blah among the season's highlights.
Why are you telling us the highlights? We know exactly
what happened this season? Did they tell you where? Oh

(28:20):
they've Oh boy, it opens with William Byron driving to
a sports therapy session.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
Hey, there you go.

Speaker 1 (28:28):
I make fun and that show and it could be
very very interesting. I don't know. It does appear that
Daniel Suarez is checking out a VW Bug and I
am in favor of that. I know he's a huge
vintage Volkswagen fan and I'm I'm I'm all here for it.
Oh wow. They're giving you breakdowns of every episode, like
who's featured in it and what they're kind of doing.

(28:48):
And they're appeers are going to try to make Denny
Hamlin the heel.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
I don't know, Wait, NASCAR production making the guys doing them,
I know.

Speaker 1 (28:57):
Right, I don't know who the who the face is
going to be for this whole thing.

Speaker 2 (29:02):
I don't know the first person sign the contract.

Speaker 1 (29:04):
Yeah, yeah, because it doesn't appear that like in the
first few episodes. Oh, they have Joey Logano in the
first episode, but I think based on like the photos
and how often they are, they're featuring them I think
they're positioning Ryan Blaney is the face and Denny Hamlin
is the heel.

Speaker 2 (29:22):
M ye looks like it.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
See. I don't care about a season one review. They
said they're gonna tell you where the watch it and everything. Oh,
it just says streaming on Netflix. So I'll check it
out after the show and see if it's If it's free,
it should be free. I don't think Netflix charges extra
for things, do they?

Speaker 2 (29:37):
Oh? I don't think so, unless it's a pay per
view like a USC or some Yeah.

Speaker 1 (29:41):
Yeah, So I'll watch an episode this weekend. See if
it's saying good, report back.

Speaker 2 (29:47):
Guess what, probably not gonna be spoiler, probably not gonna
be great exactly.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
William Byron still leads the points. He finished thirteenth in
this race at Texas. He's only got a thirteen point
lead now over Kyle Larson. Denny Hamlin is start he
blow up his motor. I forgot about that, dude. That
thing went up that there were like flames like shooting
out a couple of feet from underneath that thing. And
as I'm watching it, I'm like, guys, you should probably

(30:13):
tell them to get out, and they did. Fortunately, their crew,
their crew was like, yeah, you probably want to get
out of the car. But we've seen this year and
I think at the end of the last year, but
especially this year, we've seen multiple blown motors already. Yeah,
that didn't used to happen for the longest time. That
didn't happen.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
Man, No, I think that they're running the end of
life and they just NASCAR hasn't replaced because it's like, well,
these are still good, we can use them year after year. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (30:39):
Denny to mention in that show that was listening to
that that was the third time they'd use that motor
this year. Wow, And so maybe that has something to
do with it. I mean when they went to the
one engine roll, it was only one engine, of course
for an entire weekend. It didn't mean you couldn't just
use new engine every week they were, but the rate
of failure for the engines like went through the floor,

(31:00):
like it was like nothing forever. And I guess they're
like cranking down on the engine lotments and stuff, and
so people are trying to push the limits and they
blow them up. I guess I would love to see
more engines getting blown up because they're pushing the limits.
But You can only push him so far because NASCAR
then pulls the cars and dynos them and then adjusts
the tapered spacers. If you're making too much horsepower.

Speaker 2 (31:23):
It's all it's key.

Speaker 1 (31:24):
So again again no reward for creativity there. Chase Elliott
is in fourth tier, Addicks in fifth. Then you get
Bell who has already won the championship. So why are
we even talking about this? Bell, Blaney, Wallace, Logano, and
Bowman at the bottom of the top sixteen. Ricky Stenhouse

(31:44):
Junior is your fifteenth place car, so he would be
the last one in the championship. However, once again, if
we do get down to the wire and we've got
points positions available, they are only twenty points that are
still separating Cobbush in sixteenth and Ti gives all the
way down twenty second. Wow, so who knows. And we've
had seven winners so far and eleven races.

Speaker 2 (32:07):
Yeah, so there we go. By the way, you didn't
the comparison to IndyCar. Indy Cars was on Fox TV,
so that's why.

Speaker 1 (32:18):
Didn't they get close to a million?

Speaker 2 (32:20):
Nine fourteen okay, right on, which was up from seven
to sixty three last year on NBC. Oh wow, Okay,
that's a nice big bump of one hundred about one
hundred fifty thousand.

Speaker 1 (32:29):
Yeah, percentage wise, that's great, so good for them released. Yeah,
all right, so let's move on to the news. There
is a small update in the lawsuit between twenty three
eleven and FRM going up against NASCAR. A couple of
weeks ago, we talked about how they were trying they
they had subpoened some financials from Formula one and Formula

(32:51):
one I guess was a little hesitant to hand them over,
and so they were trying to get the court to
compel them to, you know, turn over the documents that
part of the lawsuit, like that request has been dropped
by twenty three eleven an FRM, leading the speculation that
they basically just sat down, talked figured out what would

(33:12):
be appropriate to turnover or what F one was willing
to turn over, because I can't imagine they would have
let it go completely without getting at least some of
the information that they were looking for. So there's that.
And what they didn't say at the time when they
were trying to get the judge to force F one
to turn over the numbers, is that they also have
made the same requests of IndyCar, the NFL, NBA, and

(33:35):
NHL that they're trying to get financials from all of them.
And so they're in the process of going through the
subpoenas and making sure that the court, you know, forces
those guys to turn over some of the some of
their documents.

Speaker 2 (33:50):
Just get it over with already.

Speaker 1 (33:52):
It's going to take all year, you know. But but
obviously that lawyer for twenty three eleven and n FRM,
who knows what he's doing, he's done this before. He's
obviously lining all of the ducks up in a row.
To compare the stick and ball sports to NASCAR, which
is what NASCAR says, they so desperately want to be
mm hmm with their commissioner and their charters and all

(34:16):
that crap.

Speaker 2 (34:17):
And these teams and everyone's part of a team, but
they're all single players.

Speaker 1 (34:21):
In their game seven moments. They're effing fake cautions.

Speaker 2 (34:25):
Everything's a game seven moments. Nothing's a game seven exactly exactly.

Speaker 1 (34:30):
NASCAR did announce that the Championship race is officially moving
from Phoenix after this year to Homestead. It'll be there
for one year, making its return after many years of
the championship being decided there after which there'll be some
sort of rotation. NASCAR won't tell us what that rotation
will be. We do know that Phoenix will be in

(34:52):
the rotation that Daytona will not. But beyond that, your
guess is as good as mine.

Speaker 2 (34:59):
Probably Texas will probably be in that mix. I would
think Charlotte maybe in that mix.

Speaker 1 (35:03):
Maybe it's it's pretty far.

Speaker 2 (35:05):
South Auto Club Atlanta maybe yeah, maybe maybe at they
they used to do that back in the nineties.

Speaker 1 (35:14):
Yeah, but see that, And that's the argument for the
old configuration in Atlanta, because that would have been a
much better track in the old configuration than the year
like it used to.

Speaker 2 (35:23):
Yeah. Well, I mean, I can't always get what you want.

Speaker 1 (35:25):
Yeah, So the weird part about this, and I told
you I think I emailed you this, but I put
it in the notes too. I was looking to see
because they announced it and then they said like in
an hour they were going to have a press conference.
And I was at like a real job so I
could try to make some money, and so I couldn't
attend virtually the press conference, and so I was searching

(35:46):
after it started, I was trying to find out if
they gave any indication what the rotation would be, and
instead I stumbled across and people and read it that
we're talking about this announcement. And it was interesting how
overwhelmingly positive people were about this change. They were saying
things like, oh, they finally listened to us. You know,

(36:09):
this is great that they're moving it out of Phoenix
and moving it to Miami. And on one hand, I
was like, Okay, I mean, it's good to get a
little bit excited about something new, because NASCAR obviously needs
some new things in the playoffs. But their level of
enthusiasm was surprising to me because for me, it's like,
we're not really doing it. We're not moving in uncharted

(36:31):
territory here. I mean, we've had many championship races in Homestead,
Like there was nothing about those Homestead races where it
was like, oh man, they should never move this race
from here, because this is amazing. Every time, it was
just an intermedia track that happened to be relatively competitive,
and yeah there was some drama here and there, but
most of that was set up by late cautions just

(36:53):
like any other track.

Speaker 2 (36:55):
Yeah, it was unbelievably flat for the longest time, and
then they put some some banging.

Speaker 1 (36:59):
In progressive banking, and but I mean, I don't see
this as being a game changer. I mean it's different,
but and it's and that's fine, but it's not like,
oh man, the playoffs sucked before, but now they're gonna
be great.

Speaker 2 (37:11):
Yeah. No, there's no that does not tip the needle
in your grand scheme of things.

Speaker 1 (37:15):
Yeah, I was. I was very confused by that.

Speaker 2 (37:17):
So it just breaks up the mundane part of Oh
the the last race of the season is always Phoenix. Yeah,
I guess you know what happens in the Super Bowl
all the time? Man, they changed Super Bowl vicinities. So
this is the second super Bowl of NASCAR, the last
race of the year. Yeah, the first first one that's
always at the same place. So it's more like the
Pro the Pro Bowl, Yeah, pretty much as far as

(37:38):
Pro Bowl at the Daytona and then now they get
the Super Bowl and the move in the different places.

Speaker 1 (37:44):
So how would you NASCAR said that Daytona is not
going to be in the rotation, but sure, how would
you feel if they started and ended the year in
Daytona every year? And and as I say that, from
on one hand, you've got the type of racing at
Daytona is just not representative of what a Cup Series

(38:08):
driver has to do to really win a championship. But
Daytona is the place that has the name recognition, And
just like everybody gets excited over the Daytona five hundred,
you could probably get them almost as excited over the
season finale being at Daytona because it's got that mystique

(38:29):
about it, just like Indy does for Indy Car.

Speaker 2 (38:34):
No, I can't. I can't bring myself to watch the
last race of the season be a toss up and
then Arsen host of ar wins the damn race. And
then because of that, because of someone getting trapped up,
like Face Brisky doesn't win his first championship because he
got caught up in somebody else's reg I'd rather I'd
rather them try to take the chance racing rather than

(38:55):
pack racing the entire time.

Speaker 1 (38:57):
Now, if what if it or what if there wasn't
a playoff system, what if it was just a straight
up point system. God love it, and and just like
the old school point system. But they ended the year
at Daytona. Because now you're probably gonna be in a
situation where more often than not, the champion is already
going to be decided. But there have been those years

(39:21):
where you come into the final race and somebody's either
got to not wreck or somebody might have to race
a little bit, right, does.

Speaker 2 (39:29):
It still that would be fine at that point?

Speaker 1 (39:31):
Okay, all right, because you could still theoretically have the
same thing happened then where you have two drivers that
are within you know, thirty five points to one another,
and one of them gets caught up in the record
because of that, they go from thirty five points up
to not winning the championship.

Speaker 2 (39:43):
If you're gonna endit a Daytona into what we're got now,
and just have they only the four cars race?

Speaker 1 (39:48):
Okay, just four cars's and no yellow flags? Right, so
green flag stops? Figure that crap out. It's aval exactly exactly,
oh man. So the All Star rules have changed.

Speaker 2 (40:07):
Like a wen it was it.

Speaker 1 (40:10):
Was like one or two weeks ago. Did they announced
the rules and they've already had and the race is
only like a week or two away and they've already
effing changed it. It's like, I think the All Star
races two, there's this weekend, then I think they go
to Charlotte and then I think they do the All
Star Race.

Speaker 2 (40:25):
I think I think it's All Star Races before Charlotte.
Oh is it historically it has been. It's coming up
effing soon, is all I know? Oh?

Speaker 1 (40:36):
Yeah, it's after Is it after Kansas? Yeah? Yes, it's
after this weekend. It's next weekend.

Speaker 2 (40:43):
Jesus.

Speaker 1 (40:44):
So So they announced the rules like two weeks ago
and then it's the races next weekend, and this week
they're changing the effing rules.

Speaker 2 (40:52):
I hate this sport. I hate this sport so much.

Speaker 1 (40:55):
So now the heat races to determine the starting order.
Instead of sixty laps, they've increase them of the seventy
five laps, right, but they're going from no mandatory caution
to a competition caution thirty laps in and I'm like,
wait a minute, So you're gonna run I can't even

(41:16):
do that math. Now you're gonna run thirty laps, then
you're gonna take a break no matter what, and you're
gonna run forty five laps. What's the point if if
if you're gonna do it that way, just do a
forty five laps, uh qualifier, Just do a forty five laps,
because if you're guaranteed to put the field right back
together again thirty laps in, then then just go from

(41:37):
there because the real race starts there.

Speaker 2 (41:40):
Yeah, I mean it's so well, it's fast card just
changing for the sake of change. Let's be honest.

Speaker 1 (41:45):
I mean, like and people are at all, but you know,
gives them a chance to like work in their car
and work on their car. No, if you're gonna do
mandatory cautions, and the same thing here applies in my
mind to stages too. If you're gonna do mandatory cautions,
then what you're saying is this race is pointless until
X number of laps at the end. Then why you're

(42:06):
doing the rest of the laps. I mean, okay, let's
have a thousand freaking lap race and put twenty five
stages in it with twenty five mandatory cautions. Well, I mean, yeah,
some stuff might happen, but the only thing that's really
going to determine the winner of the race when it
comes down to it is that last segment. So just
make the race the length of the last segment. Yeah,

(42:27):
I'm guarantee you they're doing this just to get more
commercial time in Oh, for sure. Absolutely, they just want
that commercial break in the middle of the heats. This
probably was brought to them by the network. The network
was probably like, we sold some stuff, we need some
more space, give us some more space. And they're like, Okay,
here's what we'll do.

Speaker 2 (42:46):
Give it. Give us like forty more laps.

Speaker 1 (42:48):
Yeah, and that's speculation on my part, but it's an
educated guess.

Speaker 2 (42:52):
Not long. I'm sure it's not long off of what
the actual reality is.

Speaker 1 (42:56):
Yeah, it would be the first time.

Speaker 2 (42:58):
No, absolutely, it won't be the last.

Speaker 1 (43:00):
Certainly will not be lesson. Speaking of broadcasts, the TNT
broadcast team was announced.

Speaker 2 (43:06):
They're h it's Amazon.

Speaker 1 (43:09):
It's Amazon Part two.

Speaker 2 (43:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (43:10):
The only differences, the only differences between the Amazon thing
is that with TNT you don't get Carl Edwards, which
might be a bummer. I don't know because we haven't
heard him yet. You also don't get Corey Lejoy. And
then in the pits you get Trevor Bayne and Kim
Koon instead of Danielle Trotta, who is still gonna be

(43:32):
on the Amazon broadcast, will just be hosting. And then
Alan Cavanon. I'm not familiar with Alan cavana.

Speaker 2 (43:39):
I do like the True TV alternate broadcast though.

Speaker 1 (43:42):
That's a nice Yeah, that's uh Burton and mcgreynolds, and
apparently they said they'll have some cameos from Mama Smith
in there, and uh so I'm very interested to hear
how that plays out differently than the main broadcast.

Speaker 2 (43:57):
Yeah for sure. Yeah, I just guys shooting and shooting
and breeze at that point.

Speaker 1 (44:02):
So much like every other thing we've talked about in
the show, this particular episode of the show, I'm my
opinion is split here on both TNT and Amazon right because,
as I knock my mouse over, because if I was
picking from the available options from say last year, the
past couple of years in broadcast, I think that's how

(44:23):
it would do it. Adam Alexander Daleen and her junior
Steve Latart, I think I would do it that way,
especially since TNT is going to have Jimmy McMurray and
Parker Kligerman, and I think they both do a really
good job. The only thing that disappoints me is that,
and we've talked about this before in the show with

(44:44):
the Amazon Prime Football broadcast, with their Thursday and Football broadcast,
they kind of went contrarian like. They They didn't just
recycle some people who are already working for other networks.
They brought in new and interesting and unique personalities and
put them all in a room and then magically hit
on some chemistry there. And I was hoping that we

(45:05):
would see something along those lines here, maybe not on
the broadcast booth, because again for Thursday in the football,
they play pretty straight in the broadcast booth. But I
thought they would take a few risks when it came
to everything around the broadcast booth. And I don't see
too many risks here outside of Carl Edwards. But Carl
isn't the risk. I don't think coreyle Le Joey might

(45:28):
be a little bit of a risk, but that's it.
That's all there is in terms of risky picks.

Speaker 2 (45:35):
There are a precious few people who want to do
NASCAR broadcast probably probably, and that's an NFL well, because listen,
you get forty three driver tops forty three drivers back
in the day, you know, fifty on like a Daytona
five hundred Cammick. The NFL you have fifty on a
team and there's thirty of them, So I mean there
is much more talent and much more personality to put

(45:58):
from than what you did for Nascar.

Speaker 1 (46:00):
I think my biggest concern is that NASCAR's numbers aren't
what they were a decade ago, decade and a half ago.
And for somebody who maybe watched back then and fell
out of love with it, but then they see it
on Amazon Prime and oh, I'll check it out, and
then it sounds exactly the same. Then they're gonna be like, oh,

(46:22):
this same thing that I really stopped watching, so I'm
not gonna keep watching this.

Speaker 2 (46:28):
But I mean, again, that's the broadcast in and of itself,
Like you don't have i mean, Amazon's football the same thing.
You have Joe Buck calling it or whoever's calling it, like,
you know, it's the same thing we've heard from. It's
also it's one of those things where it's kind of
pleasant too. It's nice to have some familiar faces. You
don't have to learn all these new people and their nuances,
like why is this guy so annoying? Oh it's like no, oh,

(46:48):
I know, I know Kenny Wallace and I'm gonna put
the channel just because.

Speaker 1 (46:52):
Yeah, but they get these people to come back, you're
gonna have to do something different. You know, I think
wow with that.

Speaker 2 (47:00):
I mean, giving one sport that's done anything, tried it,
tried something different and then it succeeded well.

Speaker 1 (47:05):
I mean, you know, as I talk about that Amazon
football broadcast, they've got built an audience. It's football, you know,
they already have the audience. I'm just appreciating the fact
that they're doing a different take a different angle on it.
And I think you can do that with NASCAR, but
I think you can't do that with the same old,
tired voices that everybody's already tuned out from.

Speaker 2 (47:27):
But they're the only people who want to do it.

Speaker 1 (47:29):
That's true. That that is the problem. You're right, I mean, who.

Speaker 2 (47:33):
Are they going to get YouTube people? I mean, because
that's the only other people they get kind of any traction.
We get those people, We are available, and they're not
going to call us. You've heard what we've talked about
NASCAR about.

Speaker 1 (47:46):
Hey, hey, they still let Teddy Hamlin come to the track.

Speaker 2 (47:49):
Yeah, because he actually has a name that you Yeah,
that's true. Front Row Motorsports, they're kind of just like,
maybe we'll let you in to fill out the field.

Speaker 1 (47:57):
I mean, hey, somehow Amazon convinced carlbel words to come
back to NASCAR.

Speaker 2 (48:02):
Yes, somehow, man, I don't know how they were able
to back up that much money into his driveway. That's
the weird part exactly.

Speaker 1 (48:11):
But but I mean like a Ken Trader man like
like get get a little weird, get a little creative,
and and then somebody young who has that same personality
as as like a Ken Trader, although I don't know
who that is.

Speaker 2 (48:23):
I don't think there's anybody who's like that, and I don't.

Speaker 1 (48:24):
Think there is at this point. I at this point,
it would take freaking cludus McFarland, don't.

Speaker 2 (48:31):
I don't. I don't get the gimmick.

Speaker 1 (48:33):
I don't get the gimmick either, But I would take
it because it would be different.

Speaker 2 (48:37):
Yeah, but I would, but I would turn it off.
Hold on here, okay, counterpoint to what you say, let's
do something different, right, you would poop? All right? Good point,
like the set and mass man, like, here's a guy
who tried to do something different and was universally hated.

Speaker 1 (49:00):
This is really bad.

Speaker 3 (49:02):
So that is That is why to this day I
still swear he's my Joyce kid has to be legitimately
the same, like.

Speaker 1 (49:14):
Over like rot delivery and the same cheesiness factor. Oh lord,
but hey, I would take a Ricky rock.

Speaker 2 (49:24):
Cork I would take I would okay, rock Days, I
would take.

Speaker 1 (49:30):
Him over what's his over, plaid guy. I would take
him over Religi Wood. Is what I'm is what I'm
trying to suggest, Yes.

Speaker 2 (49:41):
But again not that.

Speaker 1 (49:44):
No, Oh man.

Speaker 2 (49:47):
Something different, let him do, let him do something different,
let him do everything. Let's go to take Daniel Suarez
out with dunkin Donuts and get his sponsorship. That's right,
that was him.

Speaker 1 (49:58):
He lost an entire he was so bad. He was
such a bad broadcaster that he lost a team in
entire sponsorship.

Speaker 2 (50:07):
Hey, let's do something different. Let's lose money for.

Speaker 1 (50:09):
A team that was definitely different.

Speaker 2 (50:13):
Totally different. Man that probably lost Daniels Worth.

Speaker 1 (50:15):
His body, give it might have? Dude? Okay, all right,
all right, all right, counterpoints to your counterpoint. You go
get somebody like Travis Pastrana. He would be fun, he
would be different, he would be interesting.

Speaker 2 (50:29):
He's not flipping things, and he's not gonna want to
do that. Like he's not gonna be able to flip
a golf cart.

Speaker 1 (50:34):
Hey, if they back enough money up into that driveway.

Speaker 2 (50:37):
Even then I don't think so, dude, like that Nitro circus,
you see how much money that stuff fools in it.

Speaker 1 (50:41):
That's true, But but he's probably available, Like I don't
know if he has anything going on like right now.

Speaker 2 (50:47):
No, probably not. Well, I don't know. He seems to
keep busy.

Speaker 1 (50:51):
I almost said I would, I would accept the Tanner Faust,
but I don't know if I could go that far.

Speaker 2 (50:56):
It's not it's not let's just let's just oh man,
I agree that they tried something different and it lost
somebody a sponsorship.

Speaker 1 (51:04):
Impossible, Scott Scott Speed Yeah your nay.

Speaker 2 (51:07):
Oh boy, coaked up or not cooked up?

Speaker 1 (51:10):
Jeremy Mayfield, everybody.

Speaker 2 (51:13):
We will settle on Jeremy Mayfield on a NASCAR broadcast
building the NASCAR conspiracy. I would be fine with that.

Speaker 1 (51:21):
That would be entertaining. I'll tell you that right now.

Speaker 2 (51:24):
I will settle on that. Oh my god, you old
Jeremy Mayfield rant.

Speaker 1 (51:31):
Oh man, oh lord, it's too bad that franky moon
is Is he running a full schedule?

Speaker 2 (51:39):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (51:40):
Okay, so he couldn't do it. Yeah, at least he
has some like experience like talking.

Speaker 2 (51:47):
Well. Also, also he's gonna he's not gonna be available
because they're starting the Malcolm in the Middle reboot.

Speaker 1 (51:51):
Oh, that's right, they are.

Speaker 2 (51:52):
He's gonna have to he's gonna have to go out
for that stuff.

Speaker 1 (51:56):
Shaboozy. What about Shaboozy. He obviously is a huge Jeff
Gordon fan.

Speaker 2 (52:00):
So I know nothing about that. I know that he
stole that one song, Tipsy from Jake Kwan. Yeah, oh,
I've come on h and yeah, I don't respect them
for that. Wait, he stole the whole song or just
the tipsy part, the whole the concept.

Speaker 1 (52:17):
Yeah, yeah, no, it's all right. Sorry, everybody in the
club getting tipsy.

Speaker 2 (52:21):
It's the entire faction of both songs, and he stole it.

Speaker 1 (52:25):
That's fine, Fine, Fine, it's it's country. It's fine, It's
it's countrified. He changed the genre, the entire genre. It's fine.

Speaker 2 (52:33):
Yeah, No, I remember Cowboy Troy too. It's not. Oh,
it's not like that. Kaboozi is actually doing something that
no one's done before.

Speaker 1 (52:44):
No, no, he's not. But but Shooboozy has some other
good songs he does. I'll give him credit. Man, he's
really good. He's really good.

Speaker 2 (52:52):
I'll trust you.

Speaker 1 (52:52):
Yeah, he's he's good. He's got He's got some his
other songs aren't aren't like as blatant this, like the
Tipsy song. He's got some good stuff. He's a good performer.
He did Coachella and then he also did Stage Coach.
He was good to both of them.

Speaker 2 (53:08):
Interesting, Yeah, he does. He have a song called cash
Ules everything around men and that line.

Speaker 1 (53:15):
That would be epic, That would be man Jesse, Jesse love.
Why is there always Jesse Lovedwes.

Speaker 2 (53:26):
He loves a big guy man. People love him.

Speaker 1 (53:29):
Telling you he's gonna run some more races for RCR.
He's going to be at Kansas this weekend. He'll come
back at Richmond, both of those in the thirty three car.
He's done a couple of races this year. One in
the thirty three car at Bristo, Lee was thirty first.
Then he also ran the sixty two car for Beard
Motorsports at Texas last weekend where he was also thirty first.

Speaker 2 (53:49):
You wreck last week everyone else.

Speaker 1 (53:52):
So yeah, so a couple of thirty first place finishes
and he'll be back in the thirty three car. I
don't know why there's always news about a guy who
finishes thirtieth, but NASCAR is.

Speaker 2 (54:02):
Also to keep putting it in there.

Speaker 1 (54:04):
I guess, so when they keep making an announcement like once
a week, that's probably a pretty good marketing strategy. So
the All Star voting is going on right now, and NASCAR,
as they typically do, right in the middle of the process,
releases the top ten in no particular order, which annoys me.
If you're going to release it, just release it in order.

(54:25):
And the top ten, which is really the top like
it's not really the top ten like drivers in the
sport in terms of popularity, it's everybody beyond the twenty
some people who are already qualified for the race. The
drivers that are in the top ten in the voting
are the Dinger, Dylan Gibbs, s Fiji Shamian, Gisbergan, Noah Gregson,

(54:50):
Carson Hoosovar, Eric Jones, Michael McDowell, Ryan Priest, and Baba Wallace.

Speaker 2 (54:57):
There you go.

Speaker 1 (54:59):
I think this year, I think like, if I'm going
to vote, and you can still vote, by the way
all the way up until race weekend next week, I'll
start weekend.

Speaker 2 (55:09):
You know.

Speaker 1 (55:09):
Looking at these, I'm kind of feeling a little Carson
host of Ar right now.

Speaker 2 (55:15):
He is getting he is getting a good bump.

Speaker 1 (55:17):
He had, he had a good stretch there at Texas,
and uh and and I like, I like the fight
out of the kid.

Speaker 2 (55:26):
Yeah, I think he's got he's good. He's probably not
gonna win one of the heat races, so.

Speaker 1 (55:29):
Probably gonna yeah, probably not. So maybe maybe that's who
I will vote for.

Speaker 2 (55:33):
There, there you go.

Speaker 1 (55:34):
I think that the bubble Wallace has a good chance
of winning one of them. Todd Gibbs, if he gets
his if he gets his crap together.

Speaker 2 (55:40):
Could he's so far away, He's he's just not so close,
so close yet so far.

Speaker 1 (55:46):
He's not running all at all this year. Michael McDowell.
We saw him run pretty good at Texas. Ryan Priest,
we saw him run pretty good, uh two weekends ago,
and so yeah, so maybe those guys have a better chance.
Eric Jones would be another one that that see. That
would be more like a sympathy vote. And I don't
I don't want to see a sympathy vote person get

(56:08):
in there. I want to see a person who's running
well who just isn't already in get that vote. So
Chris No as far would be on that list. Michael McDowell.
I could see that. I would allow that. I would
allow bub Bubba Wallace for sure.

Speaker 2 (56:21):
Well, I think he gets in if he doesn't when
he must be honest.

Speaker 1 (56:25):
Yeah, so so that's interesting. I guess if you had
to vote for one of those ten guys, who do
you think you would throw in on?

Speaker 2 (56:32):
Give me give me a no Gregson? Yeah, I think Gregson.
He's a guy he doesn't get enough credit. But he
also has the little bit of a big fan base
behind him that'll that'll boost him in.

Speaker 1 (56:46):
Shocking, shockingly, neither of us said ty Dylan. No, shockingly,
ty Dylan is in the top ten.

Speaker 2 (56:53):
Well, they could. They had to fill out in the.

Speaker 1 (56:55):
Yeah, it's mostly because people confused him with Austin Dillan.

Speaker 2 (56:58):
Yeah, well I did see that Patty Moist had had
jumped in his car to see the difference. Really, and
what she what she drove versus what he do? What
they drive? Now? Oh, okay, pretty cool And I think
like she's on the side of the car for the
Mother's Day thing or something.

Speaker 1 (57:15):
That's cool if they do that.

Speaker 2 (57:17):
Yeah, how how old is she grew up here? Uh?
Probably in my sixties.

Speaker 1 (57:23):
Maybe she is sixty four. Good call, No, good call.
Sixty four years old.

Speaker 2 (57:31):
Mary Dalton Sawyer.

Speaker 1 (57:32):
I didn't know she was Mary Dalton Sawyer.

Speaker 2 (57:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (57:35):
Wow, interesting. Yeah, Robins, they kind of SHAWNA. Robinson on
the on the on the broadcast. Yeah, why not friend
of the show, SHAWNA Robinson? She was online time.

Speaker 2 (57:49):
Yeah, he was long.

Speaker 1 (57:51):
That's a really long time ago.

Speaker 2 (57:53):
Like five iterations ago.

Speaker 1 (57:55):
What about Oh Joe, somebody Joe who was in the
trucks series, the one who had her truck stolen?

Speaker 2 (58:06):
Oh, Danniford, Joe Cobb.

Speaker 1 (58:07):
Yeah, Jeffer. Maybe they can have Jeffer Joabbo on the
broadcast for Amazon. Promise you could talk about how what's
his name stolen trucks?

Speaker 2 (58:14):
Well, then why want I put it on Fox with
the trucks exactly? That's true. I would make more sense.

Speaker 1 (58:19):
Yeah, I guess it would. That's all I got out
there in sponsor news. I don't know. Oh, do we
have the vote? Do you have the Jeff Cluck vote
for the whether the race was good? That that would
be very curious. I think it might be over fifty
percent saying that they liked it. Does he do it
on the stupid Twitter?

Speaker 2 (58:41):
Uh? Yeah, I'm living it up right now.

Speaker 1 (58:44):
You'll probably get there more. For me, I've got the
slow computer. I'd be very curious. I think it's and
I actually I won't look if you can find it,
because I want to guess.

Speaker 2 (58:52):
All right, found it?

Speaker 1 (58:53):
Okay, all right, I'm gonna say that fifty fifty eight
percent said it was a race.

Speaker 2 (59:01):
Fifty eight percent, all right. I don't have how many voted,
but I do have the percentage fifty point seven. Wow, yes,
over half.

Speaker 1 (59:12):
Interesting.

Speaker 2 (59:13):
It ranks eighth of the seventeen races in the poll,
and ranks sixteenth to twenty sixth of the twenty six
Joey Logano wins. Season started with seven straight races of
sixty eight plus, including six over seventy seven. Now there
have been five straight under fifty one percent.

Speaker 1 (59:30):
That's very interesting, especially because the races leading up to
it were so miserable. I thought this, when we get
a bump, I wonder how much of that is because
people just aren't induce that Joey Logano won.

Speaker 2 (59:42):
Could be well, I you know, I think I think
it's just because the race itself was kind of like
the leaders and everything like that.

Speaker 1 (59:50):
We're just crashing out exactly, bringing and bringing a full circle,
you know. I mean, if they had done a better
job on Fox of telling that story of these drivers
coming up through the field, then I think people would
have thought of this as a good race, because these
guys fought their way to the front and then battled
it out amongst themselves.

Speaker 2 (01:00:08):
Yeah. Hey, by the way, you didn't put demos in there,
and did you? For the ratings?

Speaker 1 (01:00:13):
No, I did not, brother, Oh no, oh no.

Speaker 2 (01:00:18):
So NASCAR got two point five to six million. F
one got two point two million, which was updated by
Oh no, that's.

Speaker 1 (01:00:26):
Hey, that's very close. But boy, the demos are gonna
like destroy NASCAR.

Speaker 2 (01:00:31):
Here eight well, eighteen to forty nine demo NASCAR four
hundred and seventy thousand of the eighteen to forty nine,
eighteen to forty nine, it was the number not even
five hundred thousand and four to seven.

Speaker 1 (01:00:44):
And so two million of the two and a half million,
we're fifty years old or.

Speaker 2 (01:00:49):
Older yep, or eighteen, younger or younger than eighteen.

Speaker 1 (01:00:53):
Yeah, that was a very tiny percentage.

Speaker 2 (01:00:57):
F one of their two point two million, seven hundred
and eighty six thousand.

Speaker 1 (01:01:03):
Wow, we're eighteen to forty.

Speaker 2 (01:01:05):
Nine yeap, So three hundred and sixteen thousand more.

Speaker 1 (01:01:10):
Wow, that's crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:01:14):
Pretty wacky.

Speaker 1 (01:01:15):
That really is wow.

Speaker 2 (01:01:18):
So there you go. Also, NASCAR is talking about CW
and all their stuff whether they will do the races
from the track or remotely, will be in studio in
May remotely, and then in June they'll be back on

(01:01:40):
the road again, and the executive producer of NASCAR Productions,
Mike zay Lax, said it's basically up to CW whether
they make the call if they want to do it
remotely or if they're going to do on tracks.

Speaker 1 (01:01:52):
So wow, interesting, which.

Speaker 2 (01:01:54):
I mean I was listening to like the replay of
the Fox broadcast and it almost sounds like they were
in a remote area. They like they were in a
remote studio doing it because it's on it very you
couldn't hear the crowd noise while they were calling the race.
It was very studio sterile.

Speaker 1 (01:02:12):
So yeah, that might have just been the setup they
had there, because I mean, they were at the track.
But yeah, that's that's On one hand, it's not a
big deal because they pretty much call it off the
monitors anyway. But on the other hand, it makes it
even more likely that they're not going to focus on

(01:02:32):
those interesting battles back in the field because they can't
the commentaries don't even know what's happening at all exactly.
So that's gonna put more pressure on the directors, on
the director, yeah, and the directors to get it right,
and they already aren't.

Speaker 2 (01:02:50):
Yeah, So there you go.

Speaker 1 (01:02:55):
Let's see here. So in sponsorship news, you already talked
about the Texas A and m Carolina Handling is gonna
be on the seventy one, the Michael McDowell car at Talladega,
the second Talladega Carolina Handling. Literally, they do what their
name says. They handle stuff. They they handle Carolina, they

(01:03:16):
handle business. They got like forklifts and they got shelves
and they.

Speaker 2 (01:03:21):
Just store all your crap nice.

Speaker 1 (01:03:23):
So they they desperately need the business now because they
aren't gonna have so much crap to store anymore for
a while.

Speaker 2 (01:03:29):
No ships ain't coming in baby.

Speaker 1 (01:03:31):
Yeah. And then Morgan and Morgan back on the number eight,
the Kyle Busch car at Darlington.

Speaker 2 (01:03:37):
They he will also U Kyle Busch will be in
a new ad for Morgan and Morgan really Eric on
National TV starting next week.

Speaker 1 (01:03:45):
And Morgan had national ads, but I guess they do.

Speaker 2 (01:03:48):
You will be he will be getting I hear him
on extem all the time now, Oh really, yeah, he
will be getting that. He will be getting points for
this as well. And also was reported that another partner
of Bush Shady Rays, which is I'm wearing my Shady
Rays computer glasses right now.

Speaker 1 (01:04:05):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:04:06):
His the Kyle Busch New Customs sunglasses recently went on
sale and have doubled expectations so far from the company.
Sow a nice a nice boost for Shady Rays there,
like Shady Rays. My sunglasses are Shady Rais. They're really good,
really quality stuff. And if you ever break through the
lifetime of your of your glasses, if they break or
you lose them, they'll give you the replace to the
replace for free if they still have it in stocks.

Speaker 1 (01:04:28):
Interesting. What are these what are these screen ones you're
talking are? They're like maybe like a blue light type.

Speaker 2 (01:04:33):
Of thing, like, yeah, blue leg glasses.

Speaker 1 (01:04:35):
Oh man, I gotta I gotta check some of those out.

Speaker 2 (01:04:38):
Yeah, they're pretty nice. I mean they're always running deals.
There's a lot of YouTube channels that have promotional stuff
or you get twenty percent off and all that. So wow,
really cool situation there other sponsored news, the jgr's Xfinity
program and Chase Brisco will have a Lance sandwich crackers
on the car for Charlotte later this month. It's a

(01:05:00):
blue and yellow scheme, not too far off from what
Jeff Never Nervous Jeff Purvis drove back in the late
nineties early two thousands. Nice in the Bush series, A
nice little scheme there, and just playing black and orange
sandwich cracker on the side, the wonderful cheese and peanut
butter sandwich crackers that you could get at your school
during recess. Of course.

Speaker 1 (01:05:20):
I mean that's taken me back, dude.

Speaker 2 (01:05:22):
And buddy, take you back all the way. Also, Gamebridge Life,
they'll be running a WNBA paint scheme during the All
Star Race next week with the Indie Fuel who are
hosting the WNBA All Star Game on the hood as well.
So nice little scheme there from that. Chicago, the president

(01:05:47):
of NASCAR Chicago, when asked by local residents at the
race returning in twenty twenty six, we have those option years.
We'll have those conversations.

Speaker 1 (01:05:56):
Yeah, that means hell's naw.

Speaker 2 (01:05:58):
It's like, hey, we tried, guys, don't that's not happening. Yep,
there's that. Let's get to Kansas.

Speaker 1 (01:06:06):
Let's get the kansass. So how many cars we have here? Really?
Who are the extras?

Speaker 2 (01:06:14):
It is? It is?

Speaker 1 (01:06:16):
Oh the Jesse Love of course is look Love. And
Corey Haynes, Oh wow, does he wear his shady rays
at night?

Speaker 2 (01:06:23):
Probably? Eh?

Speaker 1 (01:06:24):
Nice?

Speaker 2 (01:06:25):
I think so, I would hope, so, I hope he
does it.

Speaker 1 (01:06:28):
Yeah, that, of course brings us to the only gud
thing on the NASCAR dot Combo Schaef subsequently ruined, and
then they made it good for a while and then
it was kind of ocre. They're getting there. It's not bad.
It's just not great, but it is. The paint scheme
preview fifty seven paint schemes they have currently listed there.
Of those, are there any that stick out to you

(01:06:49):
as being super fancy fun?

Speaker 2 (01:06:52):
Give me the number six, the Allegra car, the Allegra Yeah, like,
looks fancy looking car.

Speaker 1 (01:07:01):
I've been using some of that recently because of the allergies.

Speaker 2 (01:07:05):
Yeah, there you go see brand responsible.

Speaker 1 (01:07:07):
Yeah, not not an endorsement, just a comment. Yeah, well,
you never know unless they want to. If they want
to send some, I'll endorse it, don't care.

Speaker 2 (01:07:15):
Why do you have all those allergy pills backed up
in your driveway. Let me get the forty three Advent
Health uh nurses car there? All right? Right on?

Speaker 1 (01:07:26):
Okay, I dig it, I take that one.

Speaker 2 (01:07:28):
Uh do the do the right thing, Advent Health. We
invented health. Now you didn't, Uh the Pope new Pope did?
And then boy howdy? Uh give me the Daniel Suarez
number ninety nine choice priv I think.

Speaker 1 (01:07:46):
It's pretty good. Yeah, I think it's a pretty good one.

Speaker 2 (01:07:49):
Yeah, because and it also looks like the old uh
uh home depot car?

Speaker 1 (01:07:55):
Oh right on?

Speaker 2 (01:07:56):
Okay, all right, all right, what do you got?

Speaker 1 (01:07:58):
It does look a little bit like the home people,
doesn't it. Let me pick a truck. Let me see
if I like any of these trucks. I got two
in the Cup series. I gotta find a good truck.
There are no good trucks.

Speaker 2 (01:08:13):
Very slim pickens on the truck.

Speaker 1 (01:08:14):
Yeah, shout out slim pickens.

Speaker 2 (01:08:19):
Shout out slim chickens. Which is a chicken restaurant? Oh?
Is it really? Yeah? Oh? Nice?

Speaker 1 (01:08:24):
Do they play like old school country music in there?

Speaker 2 (01:08:27):
Uh? No, it looks very gentrified?

Speaker 1 (01:08:28):
Oh does it? Okay?

Speaker 2 (01:08:30):
Right? I heard the food was very very salty as well.

Speaker 1 (01:08:33):
Oh weird, okay, all right, strange, Um, I will go
with do Do Do Do, Do Do Do Do. All right,
I think I'm gonna do the alright, I'm gonna go

(01:08:53):
one boring one and two interesting ones. Okay, because because
initially I was like, oh, take the twenty three, but
I always take the twenty three. I always feel like
I take the twenty three paint schemes. Colomby does a
good job.

Speaker 2 (01:09:04):
They do a good job with their pay.

Speaker 1 (01:09:07):
The first one I'm gonna go with is number eleven,
the Demi Hammler Progressive Car, because as as a regular
paint scheme, I think they've done a good job with it. Yeah,
and so I think it does need to be on
my list to be recognized potentially at the end of
the year. And then man, excuse me. Then I'm going
with uh Riley Herps the tree Top car. Tree Top

(01:09:31):
What are those things?

Speaker 2 (01:09:32):
It's the juices juice.

Speaker 1 (01:09:34):
Oh yeah, they're juice. There's little bottles of juice up there.
But I'm a sucker for like a dark green car,
like a Conseco style car.

Speaker 2 (01:09:42):
And it said off white too. It's not like a
white one. It is it's like a vintagey looking way.

Speaker 1 (01:09:47):
And then that ties in with my other one because
I'm picking this one because it's a very vintage looking
scheme Cody ware the number fifty one parts plus four
I have, but it's got like a seventies type of
thing going on with it.

Speaker 2 (01:10:00):
I think that's just the parts plus color scheme doesn't help.

Speaker 1 (01:10:04):
Yeah, you know, but but it let's go on a car.
It makes it makes me feel like that car could
be like, you know, driving in the like nineteen seventy
six Daytona five hundred or something like that.

Speaker 2 (01:10:13):
Yeah, exactly, it could actually you know, end well.

Speaker 1 (01:10:16):
Plus on you know, plus on top of that, they're
pimping the gold brims, so.

Speaker 2 (01:10:19):
Yeah, absolutely, and that and that, and that car is
a three D model, which is different from the other
pictures that.

Speaker 1 (01:10:26):
Is, which is probably also partially why it's pipping the
gold rims. Yeah, I wonder if they're gonna use gold
rims in the race. Probably that'd be awesome if they did.

Speaker 2 (01:10:37):
Well, if they didn't. NASCAR at the Fox people ever
broadcast at the fifty one car. Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 1 (01:10:42):
Maybe while it's getting past, we'll see you remember when
it was like so bad ass when somebody would use
chrome rims.

Speaker 2 (01:10:47):
Yeah, and then now using chrome numbers and no one
could give it.

Speaker 1 (01:10:49):
Yeah, and then yeah, there's no variation in the rims anymore. Man,
I always loved it. And then then you had like
the ah man who was it was like the Penske
cars or something where some of them they would use
like the color coded rims to the car, so you'd
have like yellow car with yellow rims or like like
the half yellow light, like like with the fifty one car.

(01:11:10):
Right like back in the day, you could theoretically have
a situation with a fifty one car where I'm going
to back down in the fifty one where the back
rims will be white and the front rims will be
black to kind of like go with the scheme a
little bit more. Then nobody does that. Nobody does that nowadays.

Speaker 2 (01:11:29):
That cost too much.

Speaker 1 (01:11:30):
Yeah, probably probably, And there's probably like a set like
like one or two colors, and that set that's all
you can pick from.

Speaker 2 (01:11:37):
Yeah, exactly, since you got.

Speaker 1 (01:11:39):
To buy them from them all from the same place. Okay,
So a betting time, I think that I'm trying to
remember I had Tyler Reddick and this one didn't know
who did they have?

Speaker 2 (01:11:50):
You had Christopher Bell?

Speaker 1 (01:11:51):
Oh, I had Christopher Bell. That did not work out
well for.

Speaker 2 (01:11:53):
Me, finish ninth. I had Ryan Blaney finished third. That's
three weeks in a row for me.

Speaker 1 (01:11:58):
Did we push on the on the I.

Speaker 2 (01:12:00):
Bet we did put I thought that's what I thought.
Did you finished thirty seven?

Speaker 1 (01:12:04):
Yeah, which which in all honestly, he beats somebody, so
that's actually pretty good.

Speaker 2 (01:12:08):
It was Denny Hamlin because Denny Hamler gets.

Speaker 1 (01:12:10):
His engine blow up, that's right. Yeah, otherwise he would
have been dead last pretty much.

Speaker 2 (01:12:15):
Yeah, yep, yep. And fastest car Carson Joseovar finished twenty fourth.
Most laps read Kyle Larson Carson Josvar.

Speaker 1 (01:12:24):
When he was up front near the beginning of that race,
or at the beginning of that race, he was clicking
off the laps man.

Speaker 2 (01:12:30):
Yeah, he was trying to get the race finished early
before anyone could.

Speaker 1 (01:12:33):
Get exactly, like he had a date or something he
had to get to.

Speaker 2 (01:12:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:12:37):
So that brings us to I can't that means that
since I lost, I guess I get the entire field
to pick from here. Oh my goodness, who should I
go with? At can's ass speedway. He just perused the
stats very quickly here, and I think I'm trying to
think who did really well before. I'm gonna go man,

(01:13:03):
even though he hasn't one year before before, I'm gonna
go with Ryan Blaney. I think that he is a
little embarrassed by that lame choice he made late in
the race cost him really a chance to maybe win
this thing. And but he was fast, fast all day,
just like his teammate Joey Logano was. So I'm gonna

(01:13:23):
go Blaney on this one.

Speaker 2 (01:13:25):
I'm going to choose Elliott. He started off rocky, but
he's been pretty good at Kansas, all right, right on
the last few races, right on side.

Speaker 1 (01:13:33):
Bet, what do you think about Corey He Corey Haim
with his uh scotty shady race wearing a shady race
at night. I don't even know what his career stats
look like. H G, I M yeah, I think it's
eight G.

Speaker 2 (01:13:48):
I am.

Speaker 1 (01:13:49):
Isn't there a band him?

Speaker 2 (01:13:51):
No? I am A I am. They got a new
song yet, a new album out?

Speaker 1 (01:13:55):
Oh, they have a new album out?

Speaker 2 (01:13:56):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:13:56):
Right on?

Speaker 2 (01:13:58):
He has run a three times.

Speaker 1 (01:14:01):
Oh three times in the Cup series.

Speaker 2 (01:14:03):
Okay, twice for Legacy Motorsports last year and twenty six
second once for twenty three eleven, finishing twenty ninth at Nashville.

Speaker 1 (01:14:12):
And this car is owned by twenty three eleven. Oh,
it's twenty three eleven cars. Oh, let's go in Kansas.
Let's go with he's pretty good at Kansas in the

(01:14:32):
truck series. I'm gonna go twenty fifth.

Speaker 2 (01:14:39):
I'm kind of right, I'm thinking to give me you
know what, I'll be a little bit bearish on him.
I'll off have him finished thirty Okay, Okay, So about
anything over twenty seven and over?

Speaker 1 (01:14:55):
Okay, I think it's good. Over under.

Speaker 2 (01:14:57):
Thanks, Yeah, twenty seven and a half is the split
given his.

Speaker 1 (01:15:00):
Given his previous stats and the fact that he's pretty
decent at Kansas typically, then then yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:15:05):
I like that. Ye perfect.

Speaker 1 (01:15:07):
It looks like I'll probably be running the truck race too,
that might help his stats.

Speaker 2 (01:15:10):
Good. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:15:12):
All right, So there we go. You have Chase Elliott.
I'm taking Ryan Blaney in the race, and the side
bet for Corey Haim him Corey Heim. I'm taking him
to finish twenty fifth, and you've got him for twenty seventh.
If you want to find out who wins the race
rest thirtieth, Oh oh, thirtieth, my bat twenty seventh is
our breaking point? Yeah, is our break even point. So

(01:15:35):
you've got him thirtieth. I've got him twenty fifth. If
you want to find out who wins the bet, who
wins the side bet, and whether the race was any
good because it's Kansas, You're probably not gonna watch or
buy a ticket for that matter. Come back next week.
