Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Dark George this time poking like hell now coming down
and welcome everyone to in the draft with Wilson and
was I'm Wilson here in sunny southern California. Meanwhile right
across the internet from me in a beautiful studio by
the Bay, version two point zero. It is one, mister Scotti.

(00:23):
Was what's happening? There was? Man, No, that was a
boring race. It was all so so I'm it. It
was everything you could expect from Homestead, right. I will
give them credit because there were like short run cars
and long run cars kind of, but that really didn't
clear up. That didn't really show up until the final segment, right,

(00:49):
I mean it was Blaney Blaney Blaney with Bowman like
right kind of behind him, and you know, Larsen back
there a little bit. And then once Blaaney blew up,
then things got a little bit more interesting and Bubba
Wallace like jumped out. He had that short run car,
but then he made it into a semi medium run car,

(01:09):
and then it went right back to a short run
car and then uh, there you go, Bowman Bowman passes
bubbl because he's got a better long run car. Kyle Arson,
if you if you believe what they say on NASCAR
dot Com has some sort of magic voodoo running against
the wall, and then he won the race because.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
Of the voodoo voodoo that you do so well.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
Exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
Yeah, I mean you look, you look at it. I mean,
it was a prototypical intermediate race.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
It was, you know, all the action once again on
the restarts, and if you get out there in the
restarts you were good. If not, then we had to
wait until an extended run happened for anybody to make
up ground. But again only in that third segment after
Ryan Blaney had his problems.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
Yeah, exactly, And it's one of those deals where, yeah,
if Blanie doesn't blow up like he had, which by
the way, that's a bit of cause concern for his
camp about what's happened, for sure. Yeah, but if he
if he stays that, it stays in the race. Come on,
it's over. Like we're talking about how even more boring
it is.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
I agree, I agree. I mean, the only thing worth
watching was the last fifty laps because it was all
blamey up until that point. And yeah, there were some
pit cycles and that you got some other people to lead,
but but yeah, it was kind of in that respect.
It was kind of like a restrictor plate race where
only the very end was interesting, but only because the

(02:30):
fastest guy was out of it. I would like to
congratulate the seven hundred and fifty people that were in
attendance at the race.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
Amen, listen, a lot of stuff to do in Miami
in March.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
There is a lot of people being detained and taken
to two other places do so, I mean, they're probably
not zee.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
So I had to go do some math because you know,
all the all the NASCAR tracks have reduced their capacity
in the grand stand slowly over time. They haven't really
told anybody, They've just done it. And I think at
one time the grand stand, just the grand stands alone
without the infield in Miami was like sixty thousand and
sixty five. I don't know that over sixty well over fifty.

(03:17):
The best count that I could get now is about
forty six thousand people. Is what the stands hold the
grand stand holds at Miami, by my estimation, it was
half full. Like at best it was half full.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
And that's optimistic of you.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
And that means that if it were half full, think
about this for a second. There were twenty three thousand
people at the race. Like I've gone the minor league
hockey games that almost have that many people in it.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
Yeah. I mean it's one of those things where it's
just like that, what, why would Miami care when they
get F one?

Speaker 1 (03:52):
Oh yeah, for sure Miami doesn't care. But from the
NASCAR standpoint, the optics look terrible. I can't I can't
imagine what it's gonna be like when they get to
Indianapolis and they're racing at the Oval this year. I
mean because if the return, you know, that got some
people because everybody was like, oh, this is new and different.

(04:13):
I mean, if the regular crowd shows up, I mean
twenty three thousand people in a forty six thousand seat
grandstand you can kind of cover with angles and stuff
like that. There's no way if only, say thirty five
thousand people show up at Indianapolis, there's no way you're
gonna be able to cover for thirty five thousand people
in a place that seat's a quarter of a million,

(04:33):
you know.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
I mean they build too fast, You build too fast,
and this was what happens man. But also it's like Miami, like,
what is is this the usual spot for Miami. I
always thought it was later in the year.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
No, they have one early and then they have one
later on. Of obviously, they you know, used to end
the season with which Chris Myers told us about twenty
seven times that they used to end the season with.
Plus they had the voiceover guy. So champions used to
be ground here, Like who gives enough?

Speaker 2 (05:01):
Now? Yeah? I know, now we're running in mid March.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
Yeah, I know right the spin on it that they
that they did because I just tuned in like during
the pre race show and I caught it right at
like one of their promo things and they're like, oh,
it used to be the end of the world champions
were crowned, but now it's a place where you can
make the playoffs. Like yeah, like every other one of
the first thirty six races twenty six races sorry of

(05:28):
the season, Like what the hell?

Speaker 2 (05:31):
But I mean again, it goes with the promotion, like
why are you why aren't you promoting it's spring break
during that time too, so oh gotcha, people are probably
not hanging out there.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
Don't just make it be like bikini Day or something
like that. Everybody come out for that.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
And I don't know. It depends on who's out.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
There that family friendly man. Just get this thing going.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
Nah, they got to be family friendly somehow. Guys really
didn't care. They got their money already. Who cares?

Speaker 1 (05:57):
Exactly, they got some money. That's really what it all
comes down to.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
I mean, where do you put what do you do? Like,
what's the next There's no there's no other track to
put it in. There's another track to replace it.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
No, I mean not at this point, unless then.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
You give Richmond a second day back.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
Well, that would be nice with me. I wouldn't mind that.

Speaker 2 (06:15):
Oh yeah, no, I wouldn't be I'd be fine with
it too. But I mean they're not going to do that.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
No.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
It's like, how do you solve a problem like NASCAR?

Speaker 1 (06:22):
Yeah, I mean without shortening the season and then there's
only one race to go to with each track, and
then people have to come out to that race if
they want to see it. You know. That's about it.
That's about all I can think of. If you want
to get the attendance back up to the point where
people are in the stands, you can have two Daytona
races because people come to those.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
Right, Yeah, exactly, Tall is yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
But but when it comes to like these intermedia tracks,
I mean, we saw it. We saw it last week
with Vegas, we saw it this week. We'll see it
when we get the Texas. It'll be interesting to see
what Martinsville is like this weekend. But these intermedia tracks,
I mean they fill them halfway up, and they do
two races. Just do one filled the whole place up?

Speaker 2 (07:01):
Maybe maybe yeah, exactly, that's just it. But I mean
you even see Martinsville and Bristol like those like whore
those were guarantees and years later not so much. So
it's like it's like the the change, the change with
the tide, and what's the new thing. And maybe it's
just old fans either a dying off or b just
not being interested anymore because so many changes have happened

(07:22):
so quickly, not to the benefit of like the the
viewing experience. Why would you want to spend a ton
of money for such little in return? And I mean
you look at it and how much NASCAR has decline
or as yeah, I guess in decline with how much
track time they have, how much track time these drivers
go and experience, and again we harken back to our

(07:44):
time when it was the hot, the peak of NASCAR
back in the day, in the early aughts, late nineties,
early aughts, and uh, and just drivers were everywhere like
they're they're haulers. Haulers were there. It was it was
a festival, and now it's nothing like now. Now now
the race is literally just you get in, you qualify
the day before, and then you race and then that's it.

(08:04):
We're done. It's not it's not an experience anymore. It
is get our money and get the hell out.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
Yeah, it feels that way, right, And then you look
at the sports that are really really popular, and you know,
most notably in the NFL, and then of course right now,
since we're in the middle of the NCAA tournament, I
think that's a good example as well. They're both I mean,
obviously the NCAA tournament is very very short, but they're

(08:34):
both way shorter than NASCAR. I mean, NFL is half
the length of NASCAR. Now there are the playoffs and
that makes it like maybe two thirds the length, but
they condense for the regular season. They candense the excitement
down into fifty percent of the space that NASCAR occupies,

(08:54):
and that's boud enough to hold everybody's attention. And then
in the NFL, along with the main selling point of
the NCUAA tournament is the unpredictability. Like it like NCUAA
tournament happens fast and it's unpredictable. You just don't know
what's gonna happen. You've got to watch because like somebody
is gonna come out of somewhere at some point and

(09:16):
surprise everybody, shock everybody, and there are such you know,
real consequences. It's it's you know, single elimination, you know.
And so NASCAR needs to look at those things and say,
all right, these are immensely popular because they're shorter than
we are, and there are real consequences. Right, if you

(09:39):
lose this game, you're out of the playoffs. If you
win this game, you're in the playoffs. Not if you
win a race, you're in and then you know, twenty
six weeks from now, you're in, you know. And so
they've got to find a better way to capitalize on
that stuff. If they're gonna go with the gimmick, if
they're gonna do gimmicks, then I mean, like we talked
about last year at the end of the playoffs, like

(10:00):
make the make the consequences more dire or or cut
it down to the point where the car is in
And so you've got to step up if you want
to make it to the end, or just use the
stages and eliminate drivers starting the stages.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
But but the the two examples you bring up, the
and the tournament and football like NFL, what's the what's
the what's the common factor between those two?

Speaker 1 (10:25):
People watch them?

Speaker 2 (10:27):
Well, no, well, no, it's it's there's only two teams. True, true,
it's not thirty some teams. It's and I mean I
think you can you can dwindle this down to like
y F one is a little more popular with in
some circles. Is because you're cheering Ferrari. You're cheering you know,

(10:50):
Volkswagen or whomever. Like you're not cheering Front Row Motorsports,
You're not cheering Joe Gibbs Ray. Like the teams are
so much simpler to follow.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
Yeah, yeah, two two cars per team. They're supported directly
by manufacturer. In the case of the most popular team's
the most successful teams, then they're privateer teams too. But
again two cars per team. They both share the same
exact colors, the same exact livery and so it makes
it feel like even though there are more than two

(11:18):
cars out there on the track, like you show up
wearing Ferrari red, or you show up wearing you know,
Mercedes silver or or Rebel colors, exactly like, it's super identifiable,
which makes it easy to attach yourself to a brand
and to a team and to an identity. You're absolutely right.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
And that's the thing is that NASCAR doesn't do that
because NASCAR doesn't market well, right. NASCAR market NASCAR markets
the emotion and the in the outcome. They don't market
the teams or the drivers that will. They market the
outcome of the drivers and what they did, but they
don't market the drivers themselves.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
Yeah, and part of that also comes down to the
limited field in something like F one, And there may
not be consequences in terms of the playoffs, but there
are consequences in terms of who's going to be in
a car next year, you know. I mean, if you
perform poorly, you're finished, Like you're out. It doesn't even

(12:14):
matter if you're a relatively popular driver. If you're not
turning in the results that are expected of you based
on the level of team you're racing with you could
be done. And that is such a stark contrast. We're
going to talk here in the second when we get
to the NASCAR news about Austin Hill just checking in
for five races in the Cup Series, right. And while

(12:35):
that's great for Austin Hill, and it's great for ourcr
and it's great for the United Reynolds who's going to
be in the car, it's terrible for the perception and
the exclusivity of the sport because nobody just shows up
for five races and f one. It cheapens it. It
makes it seem like it's not this exclusive club of

(12:56):
the world's best drivers. It makes it seem like it's
a corporate and if you can find a sponsor, you
could be part of it. It doesn't matter if you're
talented or not. And so that mystique that Formula One
has in terms of I mean, I haven't kept up
for the past couple of years. But there was some
controversy because there was I guess, a Japanese driver that's

(13:16):
trying to get a seat right now even though the
season has already started, and he suggested he was gonna
get it. And that's all kinds of controversy that doesn't
happen in NASCAR because when Austin Hill, say, isn't gonna
run five races, you're like, oh, okay, fine, he'll show
up because they're in enough cars in the field anyway,
you know.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
M Yeah, And I mean you look at you look
at the car limits even in Rindy, Rindy in Indy,
I think it's twenty five now seven?

Speaker 1 (13:41):
Is that what it is?

Speaker 2 (13:42):
Yeah, non Indy five hundred field is twenty seven. So
it's one of those things where it's just like wow,
Like again they're making exclusive and they're not taking any
Joe Schmoe on the track. You actually have to be competitive.
And you know, NASCAR likes the money, but do you
like the money from a local car dealer ship? Like
I mean, I guess, well, I guess look at it

(14:03):
this way. Does the sanctioning body even care?

Speaker 1 (14:06):
I don't think they do. I don't think they do.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
No. Again, they get their money from elsewhere. They don't
give a crap about who who comes in and what
sponsors on the damn car unless it's conflicts with another
sponsor because the other sponsor, you know, kicked up dust.
But I mean it's it's a situation where when the
sanctioning body doesn't care, why would anyone else? Yeah, And
you get that exact situation right now with NASCAR. They

(14:29):
don't care who's in the field as long as they
as long as they have a field, and then long
they fill these races and and you know, whatever the
TV goes on as plan, but overall they don't care
who's in that field. They don't care about exclusivity. They
barely care about drivers making that they have to bribe
the drivers to make appearances. And you notice how much

(14:50):
that's gone downhill too. We don't hear about that much often.
And you had the big thing after William Byron won
and he did the little spin out in the in
the in the in the braze outfield and stuff like that.
But it's just like, but like, why why would drivers
care if the sanctioning body doesn't care? And if the
sanctioning body and the drivers don't care, why do the
fans care?

Speaker 1 (15:09):
Right?

Speaker 2 (15:10):
Yeah, So, and that's kind of where I'm at right now.
It's like it's hard to watch a NASCAR racer follow
the sport because it seems that the higher ups don't
give a damn. And if they give a damn, they
give a damn the wrong reason. They're trying to market
to outside people and bring outside people in, which is
a noble cause. But the problem is you're losing too
much of your diehards that even if you do bring

(15:31):
people in from a niche TikTok celebrity, you're not You're
not maintaining the people that were there for you know,
you know people. I'm not even saying like the old
heads that are there when you know Confederacy was cool.
I'm talking about like, you know, people like me and
and and you and and it's just like guys who
have followed it in its heyday. And just like you

(15:53):
cared about the sport, it's hard to care because no.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
One else does. Yeah, yeah, yeah it did. I there
no differences in terms of, you know, the the fact
that there are a set of drivers that are more
likely to win than everybody else. But for some reason,
I don't know why I can't put my finger on it,
although I thought about it enough I could. You probably can.
Like when it was Russy Wallace and Jeff Gordon and

(16:18):
Dale Earnhardt Senior and Mark Martin and Ricky Rudd. When
those guys were the ones fighting for the lead, like
it was easier to care about them. And I think
that part of that does go back to what you
were initially saying in terms of those drivers typically had
the same sponsors on the car, which meant they had

(16:39):
that same visual identity. And so you had this personality
of this driver attached to this visual identity of this car,
and that made you like a fan of You felt
like a fan of a team.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
You know, when Dale Earnhardt Sr. Had a special scheme,
it went people went ape shit.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it was. It was definitely the
the unique thing when any of these drivers had a
different scheme.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
Exactly like it. Like, I mean, hell, when you had
any like you said, anybody who had Rusty Wallace, He's like,
oh he's going from the blue and white to all
blue next year. Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (17:14):
People went right right right, yeah for sure.

Speaker 2 (17:17):
Like, oh my god, they're changing Mark Martin's car numbers
and the and the way it's going. Man, that looks
so awesome and modern. We're gonna go buy stuff. Yeah no,
you can't like who Hares because it's a different sponsor
every week. Yeah, for Alex Bowman, who Alex Bowman lucked
out somehow and and and got the al idea.

Speaker 1 (17:34):
And this is something that we have talked about before
in the show. But I think that it would be
very interesting to see a real study on it because
that visual identity, I mean, you can you can trace
the decline of that with the decline of attendants and
the decline of viewership in NASCAR. And and I don't
it's chicken in the egg. I don't know which came first, right,

(17:56):
I don't know if it's that home depot and Lowe's
decided the bail because they saw less and less people
coming out to the races, or if you know, less
and less people started, or less and less people were
paying attention because there was less identifiable things on track
to tie yourself to a driver. I don't know which
ones started first.

Speaker 2 (18:18):
I think what started, how it started was the tinkering
from NASCAR in the car tomorrow and getting this whole new.

Speaker 1 (18:27):
System playoff system.

Speaker 2 (18:29):
Yeah, well well and not even the playoff system. It's like,
you look at the mechanicals of it. You have to
build all new cars to do all new things. How
are you going to raise that capital? They raised this conserprise.

Speaker 1 (18:40):
Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 2 (18:41):
Sponsers like, well, we don't have that kind of we're
not we didn't budget that in Okay, well now we
got to go somehow upset those costs with something else.
Rusty Wallace had a Kodek car, that's true. Why Miller
Lite's like, eh, you know, well that actually that one
could be because the Kodak had Brendan gone, and they're like,

(19:04):
Penske's like, well, we have to we have to put
this sponsor on some car. Yeah, exactly because because after Rusty,
like Dodge or Miller Lighte was on the full of
Fried for Kurt Push and bred Dusk and such. But
still like you you have smaller teams like you have
Rouse Racing, like they had a ton of sponsors, but
then new cars come in, you know, limit limit to

(19:25):
drivers and stuff like that, those sponsors start to go
away m hm, and and teams have to fold because
they can't afford Like Robert Gates Racing, who they were
like a superstar team. Yeah, Dale Jarrett and Ricky rudd
uh in that eighty eight and twenty eight doing great
and the next thing, you know, boom, we gotta we
gotta close up shop and sell things off.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 2 (19:46):
And that all team with the tinkering of the cars
and and everything getting more expensive, so and that, and
you know, I don't know, I don't know what the
the the the actual solution is. I mean, you can,
you can we can say, you know, lessen the season,
which not again, not the worst idea. At the same time,

(20:07):
does that necessarily solve your problem with getting butts in
the seats?

Speaker 1 (20:10):
No, I don't think it. I don't don't think it
inherently does. I think that once you get the butts
in the seats, that if you have a very short season,
it'll keep those people interested. But but yeah, I think
it's a combination of things. I think that that it's
shorter season. I think it's locking the field and a
shorter field and locking that field in at the beginning,
like these are the guys that are running for the championship.

(20:33):
It's not like, you know, it's not like the NTAA
tournament starts and you get to the round of sixteen
and they're like, all right, we've got sixteen teams left.
But again, Zaga is gonna pay their way in and
they're gonna play an extra game just because and we
know they're gonna lose, but they're gonna but they're gonna
come into play because they want to be here, you know.
So just lock it into to you know, those twenty

(20:53):
four drivers or something like that, and then give them
an identifiable like like, give them a team identity. Give
those guys a team identity, and then bring all the
sponsors and funnel them through NASCAR and then NASCAR like
broker's sponsors and their names go on the side of

(21:16):
the car or else. The team is free to broker
their own sponsor deals, but they can't change the colors
of the car. They could just put the logo on
the side, you know, m M, something like that. I
don't know.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
Something has to give, Yeah, yeah, but what's that give?
And who who's the person to make that give?

Speaker 1 (21:32):
Oh my gosh, nobody at NASCAR currently. They wouldn't do that.

Speaker 2 (21:36):
No one. Yeah, they can't shake the boat like they can't.
They can't shake the boat because guess what, they're on
thin ice as it is.

Speaker 1 (21:43):
But I think you're absolutely right when it comes to
you know, team identity and and and things like that.
I think that that's that was part of the connection
with the driver and now it's not anymore. Like, if
you're a Kyle Busch fan, what jacket do you go by?
You know, what the trailer? Like, what jacket do you get?

Speaker 2 (22:02):
Like back in the day, I don't even think they
have jackets anymore.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
Yeah, they may not have jackets anymore, but back in
the day, like and I wish I knew where it was.
I wonder if it's in my parents house. But but
I have my bowling jacket because I was a Mark
Martin fan. And I have my text code jacket because
I was a Rocky rud fan, you know. And and
anybody who any NASCAR fan who saw those knew who
I was a fan of. But now if I'm wearing
a United Reynals jacket, who the f m I fan of?

Speaker 2 (22:28):
I have my my Elliott Sadler Motocraft one is in storage,
I think, so my my Kurt bo Sharpie one too. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (22:34):
Oh, your Kirk Push Sharpie one was badass nice, but
we knew. But that's the thing. You say, I saw
SHARPI and you're like, oh, kerk Push mm hmm.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
You know, I honestly want I should go to NASCAR
shop and see how how people are. If like if
people who what sponsors are prevalent on gear.

Speaker 1 (22:53):
And and it's it's probably it's not a coincidence to
Chase Elliot's most popular dry because his dad was the
most popular driver forever, and there's nobody else to cling to.
There is no Deale in her junior anymore. So it's
Chase Elliott. But I would maintain that the reason that
he keeps that popularity going is because he, more than
anybody else right now, does have that identifiable thing with

(23:16):
with you know, with with the number nine car, you know,
and to a lesser extent, Kyle Larson with the Hendrick
Cars car.

Speaker 2 (23:26):
Yeah, I found, I found, I found a wonderful shirt.
Oh a Camu Kobyashi, Oh.

Speaker 1 (23:34):
Kim kobyak Kobyashi.

Speaker 2 (23:37):
I can't remember his first name, Hey a m U
I oh.

Speaker 1 (23:41):
Yeah, Kamui Kobyashi yah, yeah, yeah Kobyashi that s car shirt.

Speaker 2 (23:46):
Yes, sir, it's on the Fanatics plate. It's on the store,
It's on the NASCAR store.

Speaker 1 (23:49):
See that's that's the problem.

Speaker 2 (23:51):
Like, like, well, here's the fun part on the front.
On the front breast right left pocket, she says sixty
seven and which was his number, and then twenty three
eleven underneath and then his name kind of winning across
the top part of the six. And on the back
it's a big sixty seven with a Toyota car on

(24:13):
it with rookie stripes. Just the back end, no front end,
so you don't Ganzy a sponsored. You see Toyota and
then his name's there and it just says Indianapolis Raceway
when he ran his first race in August of twenty
twenty three. Interesting, that's it. Interesting thirty two dollars it's years.

Speaker 1 (24:29):
Oh wow, okay, right, thirty two bucks for a T
shirt only crap.

Speaker 2 (24:33):
Dude, it's crazy. But the names, the names they have
one here.

Speaker 1 (24:37):
But god, I don't even know if you can buy
a jacket anymore, dude, No, I don't think so. Like,
as I'm searching, I see tons of Bud jackets obviously
Tale earned our Junior, DuPont M and MS like those
are all the big ones, man, But they're all gone.
Those people are all gone. There is you can get
a Chase Elliot NAPA jacket.

Speaker 2 (24:58):
So you yeah, the only one that I see through
JH Design, which is the people who make the who
made that? Or is the Interstate Batteries Kyle Busch and
it's a buck seventy Oh my gosh, really seventy bones.

Speaker 1 (25:14):
Wow, that's expensive.

Speaker 2 (25:15):
Yeah, but yeah, I mean like you can't there's probably
no new ones coming out because that's cool. Like we said,
who what sponsor? Who's gonna care?

Speaker 1 (25:25):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah, because if you were a driver or
you're running a driver's hauler, like which one do you stock?
Because you can't stock them all because you got to
keep very sizes and fifteen different sponsors and you don't
know what's going to sell them what's not. And so

(25:46):
that's probably why they carry none.

Speaker 2 (25:48):
Jh Sports jackets on eBay. They got to chase Elliot
Hooters one which is very topical. Again one hundred and
seventy bucks. Wow, a Joey Lagano for one hundred and sixties,
William Byron one for one sixty Okay, heubble Wallace McDonald's
won for one eighty.

Speaker 1 (26:05):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (26:08):
Classic Dale Senior with a good ranch. I mean you have, oh,
here we go, the Rebel Bourbon Kyle Boy. That's a
newer one.

Speaker 1 (26:14):
That is a newer one for that one either last
year or this year.

Speaker 2 (26:19):
Both you could use them. I think last year they
came in uh. In general, they have a Kyle Larson
twenty twenty, what did you win twenty two, twenty one,
twenty something? Whatever's championship jackets?

Speaker 1 (26:30):
Op there?

Speaker 2 (26:31):
Okay, all right, so they got Tim Richmond Folgers one.
Of course you have to have that, the Alex Bowman.

Speaker 1 (26:39):
One.

Speaker 2 (26:40):
Yeah, so I mean they got one, but again they're expensive,
and who would care?

Speaker 1 (26:44):
Yeah, that's the thing is, who would care.

Speaker 2 (26:46):
If I'm wearing if I'm wearing a jacket that said
Cheddars on it? What I know?

Speaker 1 (26:51):
Right?

Speaker 2 (26:52):
Hey, I didn't know we had a Cheddars in town.
You worked there.

Speaker 1 (26:54):
It doesn't have that same recognition, you know.

Speaker 2 (26:57):
Kyle Busch, Come on, guys, you Kyle Busch? Oh? So
oh will that? You know what? Such his life?

Speaker 1 (27:06):
I know? All right? So stan oh, we don't know
the ratings yet, obviously because we're recording this, by the way,
recording early in the week. Sorry about that. But according
to the grand stands, numbers were down standings in this
one after this one, William Byron Okay, so he finished
outside the top ten, he was twelve, but he finished
really well in the segment, so he got a lot

(27:27):
of bonus points and so he keeps the lead. He's
up at thirty six over race winner Kyle Larson. Alex
Bowman is thirty nine back in third, Tyler Redick is fourth,
he's fifty five out, and then your three time winner
and Christopher Bell. He's fifth in the standings. He trails
by fifty eight points. He had a bad race, one
bad race, finishes twenty ninth and he's fifty eight points behind,

(27:49):
despite the fact that he's won three of the first
six races.

Speaker 2 (27:53):
Kind of crazy.

Speaker 1 (27:53):
Explain that.

Speaker 2 (27:55):
I love that, man, I love that for Oh.

Speaker 1 (27:58):
And by the way, Ryan Blaney was lap leader. Of
course his engine blew up, so we didn't finish well.
Bubba Wallace got the fastest lap bonus. At least we
finally have somebody who ran well in the race getting
that bonus point. Yeah, because Bubby Bubba was thirty led
some laps. You know, if you would have if we
would have a caution at the end, he would have
had a shot. But he really just had a short run.

Speaker 2 (28:19):
Cars when it came down to they're they're stilling Stewart
Haas Racing. Just the logo really a year okay for
full price.

Speaker 1 (28:26):
Full price? What the hell?

Speaker 2 (28:28):
I was surprised too, who wants that crap? I can
also get a Kyle Weatherman won sixty fourth scale for
ten ninety nine, and I'm not going to get that.

Speaker 1 (28:37):
Ten ninety nine for one sixty fourth. That's like a
match box.

Speaker 2 (28:40):
I know, right, That's what I was saying.

Speaker 1 (28:41):
I have a dollar match box. Man.

Speaker 2 (28:42):
I had to see why why the hell Kyle Weatherman
has a page on here?

Speaker 1 (28:46):
Eh? Yeah, why does he? I'm wondering that myself.

Speaker 2 (28:50):
Yeah, I don't know, man, oh man, Um, all.

Speaker 1 (28:53):
Right, what else we got? Let's move on to the news.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
A bit, a bit, bit a bet.

Speaker 1 (28:59):
But the four mentioned Hooters from the Jacket conversation. Hooters has,
I guess, settled their lawsuit with Hendrick Motorsports. For those
who don't remember, Hooters last year basically bailed on Chase
Elliot mid season, actually early in the season because they
were having financial problems as a company. Hendrick Motorsports in

(29:21):
turn sued them for one point seven million dollars in
unpaid sponsorships, also wanted the interest on top of that.
In the end, they have settled for nine hundred thousand bucks.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
Mean we haven't just a moment of silence for the
Hooters for the for Hooters gone too soon?

Speaker 1 (29:45):
Yeah, I would say, are they gone gone or are
they like Benito Santaia.

Speaker 2 (29:48):
Yeah, they're they're they're they're around, but it's dying. I
think they went bankrupt. You know, some venture capitalist is
going to buy it soon.

Speaker 1 (29:57):
There is Oh wow, there there is. The closest Hooters
to me will be in Ontario, California. Oh, they are
open right now until midnight. Oh so after the show,
I could theoretically make it there, but they're pretty far away.
It's off a Milliken. That's probably a little over an hour.

Speaker 2 (30:14):
I got three close to me, Oh wow. One in
New Arc, Delaware, MM, one in Newcastle, Delaware, and one
in Beautiful Laurel, Maryland.

Speaker 1 (30:25):
Oh, they got one in Laurel. Where's the one in Laurel.

Speaker 2 (30:28):
It's off it's off Baltimore ab interesting by the products
in Green Country Club.

Speaker 1 (30:33):
That's one right.

Speaker 2 (30:36):
Hold on, I'm getting to it right now.

Speaker 1 (30:38):
It is.

Speaker 2 (30:40):
Near the Regal Town Center.

Speaker 1 (30:43):
Who knew.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
Obviously, if I'm being honest, I didn't have pinpoint. They
didn't even pimp like, hold on, where Hooters? Hooters? Where'd
you go? Hooters? Oh? No, they closed as we were
talking about this. They're gone, Yeah, they got sacked. They're
just like, nope, not anymore. Guys.

Speaker 1 (31:01):
So, Sam, do you remember the last time you went
to a Hooters?

Speaker 2 (31:08):
Yes, it was before a ballgame, an Orioles game, probably
around oh Q three, right, it is it Harbor Place?
Harbor Place had.

Speaker 1 (31:23):
The they did. You're absolutely right they did have.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
I am oh, go ahead, yeah, no, it was just
me and my buddies went there before the for the
ball game.

Speaker 1 (31:33):
I am fairly certain. I'm really racking my brain to
think of a time more recently than this. I can't.
I am fairly certain that the last time that I
went to a Hooters, because I've been to that one
in the Inner Harbor. The last time I went to

(31:55):
a Hooters was with.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
Is that? What did did Sean? Oh?

Speaker 1 (32:06):
Go go with us too.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
To Minnesota? Who to Minnesota? That would have been you
and Day, wouldn't it Me and Big Dave?

Speaker 1 (32:16):
It must have been And.

Speaker 2 (32:18):
Sean went with Nate to Texas.

Speaker 1 (32:21):
Oh okay, it must have Yeah, it must have been
me and Big Dave at the Hooters in the Mall
of America.

Speaker 2 (32:29):
Wow, that's fantastic, wonderful.

Speaker 1 (32:35):
It was either there or else because I'm sure that
we went there at the mall Mall of America, but
it was either there or else Denver for the All
Star Game, because I think that Sean made us go
to one there, but I can't remember exactly.

Speaker 2 (32:51):
Well, that was the time you almost got hit by
John Allen.

Speaker 1 (32:53):
Yeah, John almost killed me, dude.

Speaker 2 (32:55):
Yeah, no, I remember that because Johnny P was here.

Speaker 1 (32:57):
Yeah, yeah, Johnny P was there.

Speaker 2 (32:59):
By the way, the Hooters and Laurel is only two
and a half miles from Laurel Park.

Speaker 1 (33:02):
Oh oh okay, okay, right, oh man, you have to
ask Johnny P if we went to Hooters in Denver
or not, because I can't know because.

Speaker 2 (33:11):
Because because here's what happened, because that's a classic story,
because everyone thought you looked like Brett Hall.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
Yeah, that was at the Hooters. Yeah yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, okay,
then that that was the last time I went to
the Hooters.

Speaker 2 (33:21):
Then, oh that was that was because that was two
thousand and one.

Speaker 1 (33:25):
Yeah, that was two thousand and one. So I guess
me and Dave, Big Dave did go. Me and Big
Dave did go to the Mall of America because that
would have been afterwards. Yep, yep, for sure.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
Rest in peace, Hooters r I P r P both
pour your drinks out exactly. I'm glad. I'm glad Hendrick
got their money. I guess they needed I suppose.

Speaker 1 (33:45):
Well, you know I On one hand, I'm like, okay,
well it's settled. On the other hand, I'm like it's
kind of bs man. Hendrick Motorsports has a lot of money,
although if you listen to Jeff Gordon, they they definitely
don't have as much money you should think they do.

Speaker 2 (33:56):
So need some You need some Hooters boy shorts, wait
to have that? Hey, ladies custom boy shorts or fifteen right.
They also have a cancoozy that has boobs my gosh. Yeah.

a couple of Cup Series races. Best finished was fourteenth
at Daytona a couple of years ago for Beard Beard Motorsports.

he had an eighteenth at Michigan and his first ever
race that was in the thirty three for RCR in

Everything, exactly and only ten bucks, right exactly.

Speaker 2 (37:38):
You're not breaking the bank.

Speaker 1 (37:39):
Yeah, it looks like it's made of some sort of fabric.

Speaker 2 (37:41):
To it's probably that like Phamkanks, soft to the touch.
So when you take it to the bathroom.

Speaker 1 (37:49):
Did you see the back of it?

Speaker 2 (37:51):
No, I didn't know what.

Speaker 1 (37:54):
Oh, no, one, it's golf themed.

Speaker 2 (38:00):

tap that. That's good.

Speaker 1 (38:08):
Oh it's differently.

Speaker 2 (38:12):
Yeah, that's that's the good long term.

Speaker 1 (38:14):
And then let's see what the bikini one. If there's
anything on the back of the bikini one not, okay,
I know, it's just.

Speaker 2 (38:19):
A the the the the play there would have been
just put the put the throng up and then have
two more.

Speaker 1 (38:27):
Oh yeah, like the butts yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2 (38:30):
Yeah, actually it looks like neopreen.

Speaker 1 (38:32):
It does it. It's definitely like some sort of stretchy material.

Speaker 2 (38:36):
Mm hm wow.

Speaker 1 (38:40):
Only only one review for the golf themed koozy and
it is exactly what I wanted. That's from jam Jan said.

Speaker 2 (38:48):
That's exactly could beyond it could be Yeah, it could
be yond. M but my bubs like cooler, exactly what
they wanted.

Speaker 1 (38:58):
So there you go. Uh what else we got? Uh
we do have a Darling to throwback scheme from the
Wood Brothers. This is interesting. Okay. So the car itself
is different looking and I like that it is a
tribute to Jim Clark's nineteen sixty five Indianapolis five hundred
winning Lotus. Jim Clark also has the distinction of winning

(39:21):
the Formula One championship that year, the only driver to
win the Indy five hundred Andy F one Championship in
the same year. In fact, fun fact here, Jim Clark
actually skipped a grum Prix in Formula One to run
the Indy five hundred and nineteen sixty five, which he won,
and then he still won the championship despite skipping the race's.

Speaker 2 (39:45):
Aid driving right there.

Speaker 1 (39:46):
Man, I know. Let me let me see what race,
because I can't remember what grum Prix he uh he skipped,
So let me look here real quick. Jim Clark. Oh no,
oh no, it was only three years later. Apparently he
died in a race. Yeah, not good, so sixty eight

(40:09):
sixty five. In nineteen sixty five, he skipped Montreal, Ormnico. No,
he skipped Monaco. He skipped like the grandaddy of them all. Wow,
he skipped Monaco to run the Indy five hundred. Wins
the Indy five hundred that year. He there were ten races,
he ran nine, he won the He won one, two, three, four,

(40:29):
one six of those and then finished tenth at Monza
and then actually retired from both the Mexican Grand Prix
in Mexico City and the US Grand Prix at Watkins
Glen Ooh yep, yep. And he finished first that year,
the first of or the second of his two championships.

Speaker 2 (40:52):
How about that?

Speaker 1 (40:53):
Yeah? So good on him.

Speaker 2 (40:55):
Good?

Speaker 1 (40:56):
But so you might be wondering, because I sure as
hell was wondering, why would the Wood Brothers, you know,
do a tribute to Jim Clark other than you know,
unfortunately he's no longer with us because of racing accident. Well,
it turns out in that Indy five hundred, all right,
they hired the Wood Brothers NASCAR pit crew to pit

(41:17):
his Indy five hundred car because back then the Wood
Brothers were known for innovating pit stops and making him
faster and faster and faster, and so they were like,
we want the best, so we're going to go hire
these NASCAR guys. They learned how to pit an Indy car,
and so that's why they're doing the tribute. The kind
of like like backhanded part of this whole story is

(41:41):
that they brought in the Wood Brothers pit crew because
they're so good at changing tires really fast, feeling a
car really fast, and Jim Clark didn't change tires at
all during that race, so they never got to do
anything but fuel the car, which was very common back
then in the Indy five hundred. Usually the tires would
last the entire way and nobody really need to change

(42:02):
attires and so you just fueled up real quick and left.

Speaker 2 (42:06):
Uh yeah, I mean oops.

Speaker 1 (42:10):
So so yeah, they were proud of themselves. They did
the they did the paint scheme, but it's you know,
kind of a push. Whether whether they were like in
integral in the winning of the five hundred or not.
It's debates.

Speaker 2 (42:21):
Hey, listen, man, Adam Morrison has several rings from the
Lakers right. He did not play my.

Speaker 1 (42:28):
Right right exactly exactly. So you know, I mean, I
would take it if if I could be on the
pit crew and all I gotta do is some gas
and karma tire change, I'd just sit there and watch
a race and then we all get a you know,
a trophy or a ring or something. I'm down.

Speaker 2 (42:40):
Yeah, just to say I was there.

Speaker 1 (42:42):
I was there just in case, you know, I was
on standby.

Speaker 2 (42:46):
Yeah, slap a little thing on there where we go.

Speaker 1 (42:48):
I was the alternate juror.

Speaker 2 (42:52):
I would jail exactly.

Speaker 1 (42:55):
Yeah, they didn't ask me exactly. Uh. So that brings
us to sponsor news. Unless you've got anything else. There's
not a whole lot of this time.

Speaker 2 (43:04):
It's too early this week.

Speaker 1 (43:06):
But we do have some sponsor news. Right. So last
weekend at Homestead Better b E t R. Better was
on the number forty seven Rikey Stenhouse Junior Car. Another
online betting site which I don't know, man, I guess,
I guess if the check clears you got to do it,
but to me, it just feeds into the problem.

Speaker 2 (43:28):
Well yeah, but it is what it is. I mean,
it's almost like the dot coms. Yeah, like the collect
phone calls numbers back in the day too. Now now
it's like the dot coms back in the early mid
mid at and then now gam.

Speaker 1 (43:47):
Drive Value dot com speaking of dot coms, will be
on the number forty two with John Hunter Nima Check
at Nashville. That's like some like business development thing and
it's some other company that created this website just for
the thing. I don't know. It seems like a waste
of money, but whatever. Well, Black's Tire is back. They've

(44:07):
been on cars before. They're going to be on the
number sixteen car with aj Allamandinger this weekend at Martinsville.
And then my favorite is Rockingham, Like the rock Rockingham
is going to be on the number seventy one Michael
McDowell car at Martinsville. So he's gonna be a Martinsville
advertising the Rockingham Race, which seems weird and stupid, but

(44:29):
I guess it's smarter than advertising the Rockingham Race at
Rockingham when it's too late.

Speaker 2 (44:34):
To go right or on TV on TV that nobody's watching. Yeah,
so so there you go.

Speaker 1 (44:43):
And then that brings us to Martinsville, which is this weekend.
We do have an entry list, and I'm not sure
how many people are on there.

Speaker 2 (44:54):
Do we have anrew? I guess we do have an
early entry for thirty.

Speaker 1 (44:58):
Eight thirty eight Oh my gosh, who were the extra people?

Speaker 2 (45:00):
Burt Myers, Bert and the return of Casey Mears.

Speaker 1 (45:04):
Oh, that's right, Casey Meres is coming back. Oh that's awesome.

Speaker 2 (45:08):
Indeed, so yeah. Bert Myers in the team of Maravac
car have He's doing Tony Uri on the box, that's right. Yeah.
And then uh, Casey Meres in the garage sixty six
with Carl A Long in the box.

Speaker 1 (45:23):
There nice carlng is gonna pick through the thing.

Speaker 2 (45:27):
It's gonna crew it.

Speaker 1 (45:27):
Yeah wow, go figure. All right, well we'll see how
that works out for him.

Speaker 2 (45:32):
Exactly. Don't hold your breath, guys, Nope, do not do
not get ready for nothing. Well, uh, just have to
hope for the best, prepare for the worst, hope for
the best.

Speaker 1 (45:43):
Yeah. We definitely don't have a We definitely don't have
a paint skin preview for this thing outside of of course,
we know that the rock is going to be on
a car and Black's tire is going to be on
a car. I don't know if you want to pick
those as our favorites or something like that. Actually what
we should do is we should pick those after the fact,
and then then we'll just add him to the list. Yeah, yeah,
once Piinskin preview comes out. But then we get to

(46:06):
the picks, and I think that I picked somebody last
weekend that did poorly.

Speaker 2 (46:12):
You did? You picked any Hamley finished?

Speaker 1 (46:14):
That's right?

Speaker 2 (46:14):
I did?

Speaker 1 (46:15):
Hey, yeah, him was actually up there fighting for the
lead at one point. Yeah, I had it for a
couple of laps and dropped on the pace and then
oh and then the south Okay, so I wasn't sure
so I won that one? Oh that's right. Yeah, And
I can't I wasn't quite sure. I couldn't remember exactly
where you picked him and I picked him to know

(46:35):
who won the side that But I know it was
right in that middle area.

Speaker 2 (46:39):
No, wasn't. I picked Frankie Mina's finished twenty fourth. I
picked twenty fifth. Oh you did, and you picked eighteen.

Speaker 1 (46:46):
Okay, all right? I knew he was between our picks,
but I just couldn't remember where you picked him.

Speaker 2 (46:50):
Yeah, yeah, twenty five, all right, so twenty fourth isn't bad,
not bad.

Speaker 1 (46:56):
Sorry, I Frankie exactly exactly. So I guess that means
I get the entire field because I lost both beths.

Speaker 2 (47:06):
All thirty eight.

Speaker 1 (47:07):
So Martinsville, I should have picked Denny for this race instead. Martinsville, Martinsville, Martinsville, Martinsville,
let me have but Ah, I'm gonna go with Chase Elliott.

Speaker 2 (47:42):
Okay, that's good. I am gonna pick Lorg, William.

Speaker 1 (47:49):
Barron, William Byron just for reference, for everybody, Chase Elliot's
one one time here, William Byron has won twice. And
there we go, and their average finishes are almost identical.
Elliot nineteen races toll point one, Byron in fourteen races, uh,
thirteen point three. So I mean they essentially run the

(48:10):
same here.

Speaker 2 (48:11):
And they're either're gonna piastre famin there. Obviously the side
bet is Burt's Burt Bert Myers.

Speaker 1 (48:18):
Oh you don't want to go Caseaniars on this one.

Speaker 2 (48:20):
No, because Bert Myers a more interesting story, because Bert
Myers has a history with Martinsville. Oh does he he started.
He has been in the Wheeling Modified Tour back in
ninety nine.

Speaker 1 (48:34):
Ninety nine, holy crap.

Speaker 2 (48:36):
Finished twenty ninth. In two thousand, finished fourteenth, two thousand
and two, finished twenty first. Then you have to wait
until twenty twenty three before you finish twenty ninth and
then modified. If you go to two thousand and nine
in the Camping World Truck Series, you finished nineteenth at Martinsville,
But that was in two thousand and nine in the

(48:57):
truck series. Mmm, wow, oh wow, no cup starts at
all ever.

Speaker 1 (49:05):
Oh my gosh. This was his first one and he's
forty nine years old.

Speaker 1 (49:11):
But he's like tore that crap up when it comes
to modifieds man and yeah.

Speaker 2 (49:16):
Uh well, I mean twenty ninth and fourteenth highest finished fourteenth.
But he knows Martinsville when I'm getting in.

Speaker 1 (49:25):
Yeah, he has a fifth.

Speaker 2 (49:28):
Place finish in twenty ten in the modified and Martinsville.

Speaker 1 (49:33):
Yeah, let's see. Oh man, I'll oh wait, do you
want to pick first? Since I picked the driver first?

Speaker 2 (49:41):
No, I want I won this when you pick you
pick first?

Speaker 1 (49:43):
Oh man, there are thirty eight cars, period. He's got
experience here. He has his tune of your junior. But
I don't know how much he accounts for. Who's he
racing for? Like what team is he raising? A team?
Ameravt oh Man thirty seconds?

Speaker 2 (50:02):
Wow? Yeah, that's uh thirty eighth.

Speaker 1 (50:09):
I couldn't pick thirty eighth because I think that's where
Casey Mers is gonna end up.

Speaker 2 (50:12):
No, I think Kaseys is gonna have a better ride
than no Way. I don't like team and merriveth run
all season.

Speaker 1 (50:19):
No, No, I don't. I don't believe they have yet.

Speaker 2 (50:21):

your jigger Daytona? Yeah, their last race was Phoenix at
thirty eighth previous the previous race, so that was Charlotte
a thirty eighth.

Speaker 1 (50:32):
Yeah, that was Tyd Dellan in twenty twenty four. Yeah,
and then Phoenix was Oh it was Jeb. I forgot
about Jeb yeah last year. Yeah wow.

Speaker 2 (50:46):

Speaker 1 (50:48):
So that's right, it was it was the Money team
oh Man. All right, So there we go. Uh So
in the race, you've got William Byron, I have Chase Elliott.
When it comes to burn Myers, I've gotten at thirty second.
