thing why you wait so long man be down here [Music] thank you so much of a and we are live welcome in everybody to another episode of nwp uh really quick let’s just get it right off the bat our buddy and guest for tonight David land will be on later don’t worry he will be on we’ve communicated it with him uh so just pass it on uh and yes as as I’ve seen in the chat we have we guys we’ve fallen off but not as much as uh Kyle Bush no I’m sorry I had to say it if you guys watch my post race stream Kyle Bush fans were big mad because I said that Ricky did nothing wrong and I’m I’m spoiling stuff right now guys let’s get into to North wilbor uh you know what I don’t want to even start this out let’s let’s just Danny I want you to tell us about your thoughts on Joey legano basically becoming The Field’s father well it was refreshing uh honestly the whole race to see Ford just somehow look dominant in this one I think for the longest time they had Ford to top five spots the fact that it was Joe lagano uh you’re like is this uh is this the Resurgence of even Year Joey lagano that we’re just now starting to see it or is is that that weird Joy Lano where he becomes the first to do something on new things because this was the first race in a new North willsboro surface or is this just the peak of Joy Lono he never does anything more the rest of the season I don’t know what to expect to Joy Lono at this point because um he looked like him he looked like his normal self this race and it was uh it was weird to see that after the year he’s had I’m glad we’re starting off with Joey loano Jarrett because I feel like so many have glossed over the fact that he won this race and did so in dominating fashion uh this is huge a huge momentum boost couple weeks ago he admitted that the team is kind of hitting the panic button they’ve been lost turns around just a couple weeks later and gets a big fat win doesn’t help his playoff eligibility he’s still currently outside of the playoff picture but there’s plenty of time to make up those points and this win could be the first of several you never know we’ve seen team Pensky turn things around suddenly in the past usually it’s in the playoffs late in the year and whether it’s legano blay they go on a a red hot Championship run but now maybe they figured things out a bit earlier I’m excited it’s back-to-back wins for Ford if you include if you include um Darlington uh so I’m excited that as much fun as it’s been to talk about Joe Gibbs and Hendrick and their dominance you have an RFK a Pensky maybe 2311 moving into the picture that’s more interesting more potential Championship Front Runners as the years go as the year goes on you know I found it funny this week when I was um I was listening to Denny Hamlin’s podcast and once again and I’ve noticed he’s done this a lot this year uh where he’ll just say that practice doesn’t matter and he’s like practice doesn’t matter like it wouldn’t have matter Jared if we had practice because this this and this it’s it’s clear he’s talking out of the owner cap because Joey Lano had 800 laps of testing yeah and he led 199 of the 200 in the main race and I was thinking like that battle with Hamlin or one of them early in the race like maybe someone clipped him at the line I went on uh Twitter and saw that the lap he didn’t lead was because his pit stall was before the start Finish Line after one of the stages yeah yep yeah no that’s a great point though about practice legano and I think Ty Gibbs was among the others who got hundreds of test laps here earlier this spring and who won the open there’s a reason Tai Gibbs was my pick to win the open and win the All-Star Race if Kyle bus doesn’t get to him he was progress you know that practice does matter you get so little seat you get so little seat time now that you know every every session means that much more and that was clear as day for legano and Gibbs but that’s part of the reason why well this is two straight wins for Ford I’m not quite ready to say they’re back they’re interesting again but North wilksboro was a very specific track that specifically tailored to Joey loano so we’ll have to see how they perform at Charlotte can they back up uh Blay’s Koch 600 win from last year that I’m not so sure about but we’ll talk about that at the end of the show of course I thought interrupted there I’m just still so bothered by the fact that Tai Gibb seemingly had the fastest car of the weekend and would wouldn’t even take the Right Tires when it was time yeah he he pit for uh prime tires when basically everybody else did options and yeah I was questioning that as well because he was making good progress the first run of the race and stalled out and got spun from there well you know we talked about how the race finished out um and before we talk about the extracurriculars I do want to talk about what happened kind of during it and what not we’re talking tires now and Eric kind of laid us off here uh do you think that we saw a good enough improvement from these new tires these option tires or is it just sort of back to the drawing board I don’t well it is back to the drawing board in that good year can continue to get more aggressive I don’t know how much more aggressive they physically can be I mean the rubber they used on these tires is effectively the wet weather tire rubber so how much softer can they truly go I don’t even know what’s technically and scientifically possible so we’ll have to wait and see there but directionally this was good in practice under the hot sun we saw tires courting after 40 laps similar to Bristol everyone anticipated that to be the case during the race Sunday night but cooler temperatures prevented that so I do think there are so many variables Beyond just softer tires track temperature weather conditions make a huge difference but considering this was a freshly repaved RAC trck and we still saw that kind of Tire where albeit in practice is very encouraging and tells me we should try to bring this tire to Richmond an abrasive surface maybe Martinsville or even Phoenix towards the end of the year tracks that are more worn out than fresh North wilksboro so even if they don’t make any improvements to this tire if they bring that tire to some of these other short tracks this year I think the racing will be at least slightly improved what do you think Danny yeah I mean it’s a it’s a it’s a what’s the word here it’s a path in the right direction I think it’s definitely good to see like if you’re going to try this any race the Allstar race is definitely one to try it at um you know I wouldn’t necessarily want to try this at you know another short treack we’re g to go to um New Hampshire is New Hampshire Iowa New Hampshire what’s next I would count Iowa in there yeah well I yeah because I was like I believe I want to say it’s like 8/10 or like seven8 Bally a Richmond copycat if I recall yeah it’s like a it’s like a it’s a I think a little bigger it’s like halfway between Richmond and Rockingham is Progressive banking I don’t know if Rich I don’t think Richmond does but Iowa kind of does it does and I I would have to check and chat uh definitely check me if I’m wrong on this but I believe they haven’t repaved it in a while either so like am am am I mistaken or Iowa Speedway was like Rusty Wallace had a lot to do with that when it was being made essentially he took everything he loved about Richmond and told them to make that but just a little better for him and that was probably the most badass track of the Xfinity series from about like you know what like late 2000s early 2010s if you look in that era it’s like that one and Road America were the ones that always put on the best shows that and I think like when you know they go up to Canada um but okay 78 uh and no repave since 2006 says Peter it’s in their logo if you see the is logo they add like sort of a some decals to make it look like S8 I didn’t notice that until a couple years ago someone pointed it out and now I can’t unsee it I think that’s so clever I I got I’ve never seen it I need to see this yeah oh if you just Google I Speedway logo I don’t know if you’re able to where you’re at but yeah how did I never notice that yeah [Music] I’m probably just a dumbass that’s what it is because now I need someone to like someone needs to do that with every other logo turn somehow the Daytona logo into like 2.5 Tega 2.66 yeah I don’t know how that that’s a good uh exercise good activity if you can make that happen is that our meme for the night like tag us on Twitter if you can make like Daytona or Talladega with their track good luck that that sounds like a professional Photoshop job if I’ve ever heard one cuz good luck getting some of these tracks to squee into these specific numbers Circuit of the America’s is what like 4.3 I don’t know or well let’s see Martinsville is like 537 or something like that um but I I’m I’m positive with that I I’m not going to go Dale Jr side of it he was like North willsboro is the best short track that there’s ever been I’m like okay Dale like I I there’s improvements and I agree it was really damn good for a repay Bad Grandpa hold it back a little bit man uh it was a really good repave all the stuff people gave Marcus Smith and SMI they cheed out on it your predictions was that the track would come up or whatever during the weekend wasn’t that one of my predictions and a lot and I heard people talk about this week and they’re shocked it didn’t but uh the bumps were still there the character in many ways was still there tagged William Byron wrecked him he ran into some of that character on Sunday uh so as repaves go this track is about as like immediately race as it gets so you know sometimes I guess going the cheap way actually maintains some of the excitement so I good job let’s pretend SMI intentionally did it that way and we didn’t even have to hear about the totally real not a sinkhole moonshine cave this weekend yeah they didn’t they kind of dropped that storyline H yeah I mean I’ll say this like after everything that happened and again we’re just going to keep dangling this like right in front of the chat like Hey we’re going to talk about it eventually like I don’t see I don’t see why they would bring it up again um but I mean having having the fact that even the truck race without the option tires without the horsepower talk without all of the stuff the nextg is basically talking about I thought it was generally a pretty good race uh you we’ll talk I guess a little about the truck race later but I think as an overall weekend scope here the fact that they could have these guys running way on the bottom early in a run and then have to drift more up towards the top it kind of reminded me of I in little ways it kind of reminded me of like a Darlington in the sense that in Darlington you got those fresh tires you can run around the bottom or darlington’s bottom of the track and then you sort of wash more up the track as it goes Charlotte can be like that sometimes so I I do think that there’s a lot of Promise here I I’m still on the I I’m firmly now on the bus of we need wils bro to be a points race I think more cars out there would have helped with slower traffic throughout I don’t think it would have been perfect there’s the short track package has a lot I mean we’re talking very positively because last year’s race was so damn bad that it was like you were gonna have to try on purpose to make this one worse yeah I I I’ll be interested to see what they do they’re bringing it back as an All-Star Race next year I just want to see if the hype is maintained we’ve talked all the time about you know they do these big bold crazy things year one it’s exciting it’s different year two yeah still pretty good year three okay just another race and then Bristol dirt goes away and then people want to leave the Charlotte roal and so on and so on The Clash is gone The Clash Coliseum is gone so like you saw they removed the turn two grand stands they’re already taking Grand stands away from North wilksboro this year they didn’t sell out the All-Star Race weather likely played a huge Factor so I’ll keep that in mind ratings were up so you it’s not all doom and gloom but when you say make North wilksboro a points race I’m I’m okay with it just being the All-Star Race for the next year ask me again in one year and I’ll tell if it should be a points race I heard from people who were there that like the hype felt the same yes that’s what I heard too yeah the atmosphere once you got there was still really good so that’s I would say there could be more hype because people are like what’s the new surus gonna be like yeah yeah and for me like I didn’t see it on TV like I’m just going to say I didn’t see or feel that the way that I did at the track last year Fox didn’t capture and shocking well we’ll find a way to bring Fox rope them into it um but that’s something whether it’s on Fox NBC or maybe next year if it or in years to come if it’s a prime or TNT race as a points race they need to capture capture that atmosphere because that atmosphere last year I had never felt at a NASCAR race before or at least had been a long ass time since I had felt just that camaraderie that everyone being packed in like sardines like yeah it needs to be captured better um really quick before we get into the big business of the week weekend or of the the night I should say um we can do this really quick what were your thoughts on Kyle Larson um basically well he made it on time but them moving the start time for him like are you for it against it and would you do it for a points race Danny start us off well I was gonna say I’d probably be more impressed if he pulled it off this weekend but there’s some other factors in to that that may not be an issue after all we’ll talk about that more later but I I I personally wouldn’t say that’s fair to the field to push it back for a points race personally um just being the Allstar race is just for fun I’m okay with it for this one I uh I I think they they there’s like there’s precedence and I can’t recall them ever doing that for Kurt Bush when he ran a double um they definitely didn’t do it for I think Robbie Gordon did did the double um so no I would not I would not expect NASCAR to push back this race just for Kyle Larson I know Kyle Larson is a you know big Superstar right now but I would rather them not just in all fairness to past competitors and the current field uh I think they should absolutely push the time back no more than 30 minutes if you’re starting to say hey we’re gonna delay the race by 35 40 45 minutes then you’re pushing it but 30 minutes or less absolutely if it comes down to that 600 this week they should do that because Kyle Larson is the story you could see it on TV the fans at the track Kyle Larson was the most popular driver at North wilksboro ratings for Indie qualifying were up 20 30% ratings for North wilksboro were up 12 15 17% whatever it was like Kyle Larson is the show is it fair would they do this for somebody mentioned like would they do this for Justin Haley maybe maybe not it’s not fair but you know Kyle Larson is the closest thing we have right now now to a superstar race car driver in NASCAR like if they’re going to bend the rules a little bit go for it like if you asked you know if you asked Denny Hamlin hey Kyle Larson just landed but you know they’re asking if you want to wait 15 minutes for him to get to his car you just want to start the race without him I’ll bet if I’ll bet some of the drivers would say let’s start without him because that’s a free win you know but I’ll bet a lot of drivers deep down would say like no we want to race the best of the best like it like let’s wait 15 minutes like Kyle he’s here he’s on his it’s like he’s basically here like I don’t know do we really want to see Justin Aly in the five no that’s not what these 100,000 fans paid to see so you know I’m okay with 15 to 30 minute delays anything more than that sure that’s extreme but 15 to 30 minutes is reasonable because he is he is the story he is the headline and no other drivers creating headlines like he is actually that’s a terrible segue because Ricky Sten house Jr did a pretty damn good job this weekend so I stand corrected I I’ll get to that in a moment I’ll say Allstar race I don’t care like the All-Star Race has literally restarted people with backup cars because it’s just one of those races I saw people upset with it whatever I’d say the most I’d be willing to do for lson is like 10 maybe 15 here’s what I would say let me I’m sorry I’m gonna add on one thing 15 to 30 minutes but if you have to delay it at all he should have to start at the rear he doesn’t get to keep a starting spot because obvious Miss driver intros whatever he should no matter what missing the driver’s meeting yeah if he is yeah I agree with that if you missed the driver many he should have to if he is like okay if we’re talking like the time frame is you know we’re cut we’re really close to start a race and he’s like landed at the Charlotte Airport okay give him just enough time to get the helicopter over there and a golf cart you know that’s about it well we’ll talk about in a bit might not be the option of flying a helicopter in there depending on what happens we’ll get to that when it it comes but I it as much as like I I I don’t want people to bring like Oh The credibility of the sport in because they’ve moved stuff before I mean whether it be for weather which I think is a natural thing they should move to or from with whether they move it a day back all of the sudden or or whatnot like let’s not pretend NASCAR hasn’t bent their own rules to to fit storylines it was something Bill France Jr used to do all the time and it seems like people forget that with rose-colored glasses it kind of like washes that part away um but yeah I mean you can I mean there’s so much stuff that the track does already you could probably just like do one more like salute to the Troops and the fans would be like yeah baby America forace like this yeah that’s the way to mask it doubt you totally could like you know may maybe you do your like moment of silence instead of at halftime you know we’re going to move it before the race just for the hell of it um like they they could totally mask it I’m I’m not crazy about it still like like if if it’s getting though well we’re going to move the race back 10 minutes and it’s like well Kyle Larson’s stuck in traffic he’s now running on the side of the freeway to get to the track in time okay it’s like let let’s move along um but but Allstar race I don’t see why everyone was was so upset um looking at the poll because I I decided to put a poll up for the chat if he’s a little late I had that stipulation cuz if it’s like entirely late like he you know it’s about to start the race and he just landed at the airport and has to drive through traffic uh then no like sorry as much as I want to see the story happen you can’t do it so so I see my wife Claudia is in the chat she actually brought up a good question here could they ever do a driver switch mid race another driver start and he hop in late um so basically that’s like uh it’s like the Denny Hamond Eric Al marola situation from years back uh the only thing is if lson qualifies and practices and all that then if another driver starts it that got to go to the back because they didn’t do all that um so then they go to back and then they and then they get Larson into the car well they’re already still in the back then at that point uh it’d be probably better if they had someone pra someone else that in Larson practice and qualify it and then they start it um and then and then lson hops in at some point that would be that would be the better honestly it’s just the big problem for Larson is someone else starts the race Larson doesn’t get any points and while he’s leading I mean this is what whether people like it or not the Koch 600 points wise in the regular season means more than any other race because of that add stage that’s a good point and I I I don’t see them missing that I mean it’s a two-year deal also I know I know we’re going to talk about a lot of this in the second half but it I think knowing that they have another year to try the double next season will probably influence the decision if this is next year and there is no next year like for 2026 I could see this being a tougher ision but yeah right now Charlotte’s the priority so we’ll we’ll get to that we’ll get to that in the second half but 62% by the way in the poll compared to 38 no 62% said yes they should move the start if Larson is a little late not a lot 30 minutes max 15 to 30 minutes fair game anything more than that then I have maybe a slight issue for sure uh now people who had issues we kind of move into the big story of the weekend uh were the Sten houses and Kyle Bush there was there was a fight and in the words of Kevin Harvick I like fights there should be more fights they had a tough got a little dirty as Harvick would say a little dirt yeah a little dirty um a little dirty but with it I mean let’s start off with what happened on the track here so Kyle Bush washes up the track lap one Ricky Stenhouse pulls a Kyle Bush move if I had to say so by going up the middle three wide we’ve seen Kyle bus do it before I mean look at any truck race he starts like you know lower than fourth he’s going three wide on the first lap uh so Kyle bus gets up into the wall thinks from what it sounds like thinks Stenhouse gets into him and absolutely junks him going into the uh first corner I believe on the second lap takes out the 47 uh not so icy very hot under the hood vows to go after him and uh see I told you guys i’ get some kind of thing in there about that the chat yeah very smooth um and basically just I I I guess basically just vows to go after him so I’m I’m GNA pose this question to you guys and whoever wants to jump into it first go with it because I want to talk about on the track first was Kyle Bush Bush justified in any way of what he did with Sten house is there a justification no go for it Danny I’d see your strong opinion on it heck no any anyone should have took that move that stouse did that was such a huge opening they gave him right there and then Kyle just washes it up into the wall like being a shrub essentially and blame it all on Stenhouse like I like kabo she’s growing on me but come on dude that you you overreacted to a I want to say I I kept saying you overacted to racing deal honestly you just overacted to you messing up cuz he he didn’t come close to to hit him he really didn’t I I would say Stenhouse definitely squeezed him on exit I don’t think it was as bad as Bush thought it was in the moment Bush does hit the wall first and then bounce off into Stenhouse that part is checked up yeah that but that’s the thing is Stenhouse at that point had the position if anything Kyle bus yeah maybe should have lifted a little bit there it is lap one I understand he’s frustrated with Sten House’s aggression but it’s an All-Star Race hard to pass the car is hard to pass with the track is hard to pass on you left the opening you got to live with the consequences so yes that did not justify Kyo bus just blatantly spinning Ricky Stenhouse Jr he didn’t right rear Ricky Stenhouse into the outside wall In fairness Stenhouse overcorrected and nosed it into the wall Bush was just trying to hit him in the left here spin him out lazily I imagine maybe back him into the fence these cars are resilient he would have been just fine but uh it looked a lot worse than I think Kyo Bush wanted it to be I’ll give Kyle Bush that defense I suppose but still lightly getting squeezed into the wall does not justify punting the guy and completely spinning him out that’s not C you’re say yeah well that’s what so side note Kyle Bush said that as much on with Charlie Marlo today on YouTube I don’t know if you all saw that he used that exact line Bush said I just you I didn’t mean to wreck or no he didn’t even say uh that he said I just wanted to Rattle his cage and spin him out he said that so he should be getting a points penalty this week he just went on a podcast and admitted he intentionally spun out Ricky Stenhouse Jr he should be getting what did what did Hamlin get last year 25 points M Kyle bus should be handed a 25o penalty because he a pod aded what did Chas ell get for right rear hooking someone well but I know it’s a short track I know well no I’m comparing this to the Hamlin Chastain Phoenix deal because it’s also a short track and he didn’t right rear hook somebody he just rubbed somebody into the wall Kyle bus didn’t right rear hook Stenhouse he left reared him spun him out like I said was just trying to lazily spin him maybe back him into the fence it looked worse than it was I’m comping it to Hamlin chastin Hamlin got a 25o penalty for admitting it on a podcast Kyle Bush should get a 25o penalty this is also interesting because should we be doing points penalties for this race because it is a non-points race should we just be finding money that’s a good point a that is a good point okay because I’m on I’m on that side I think he should have been fined $5,000 for what he did I 5,000 wait how much $5,000 I think that’s what Kyle should have got man he had to pay more to get out of jail in Mexico okay okay okay but what he did deserves something at least not nothing I think he didn’t need $775,000 but what he did sparked this whole situation in the first place he shouldn’t have just been let off scott free no issue at all well and Stenhouse is the victim in this whole thing he’s the one with the wrecked race car he’s the one who’s trapped inside the track because it’s a giant Fishbowl and he’s the marketing Ploy now yeah and and on top of that he’s the one now who has to walk on eggshells for self- policing if we want to say it in driver’s terms Kyle Bush self- police on the track the Stenhouse family self- policed off the track and I guess we should just get on into the penalties Kyle Bush got none uh in this uh Stenhouse we said find 75k uh the crew members one was suspended four weeks the other eight I believe the one that was suspended eight I don’t know if it was Kyle Bush’s crew member but remember one of the crew members was basically just like chucking people into the crowd like freaking Sauron that guy did not get are you kidding me no he got no penalty it was a guy who had Kyle Bush in sort of like a semi headlock it looked like from the replay that guy I believe got eight weeks and and the guy who was chucking people he didn’t deserve a penalty at all in my opinion because all he all he did was he was assisting green shirt man from Nascar and getting Ricky off of Kyle I got to pick on this and uh and and so and so at that point Ricky is saying get my dad get my dad Kyle bus crew man he understands I I was paying attention to him he understands okay get Ricky off get green shirt man off and then he just sees a bunch of Kroger shirts on his truck all he’s trying to do is get him away from his equipment that’s all this man is doing he’s not trying to start nothing he just says get off my truck get off I got I got a bone to pick on on all that perp I want to finish off with the last penalty uh Stenhouse senior has been suspended indefinitely from Nascar which yeah that’s they’ll let him back in eventually but they they need some him to take some time that’s it’s a Tom it’s a Tom lagano kind of penalty like and and I’m I’ll say this NASCAR was uh consistent with it I guess is the right word I I just I’m gonna say this I like the crew guys getting penalized in fact I think all of them should get penalized and suspended you know why because they just say the hell out of the fight I’m so damn sick of this giant you know Rugby scrum every time drivers go at it with each other I’m sick of green shirt man breaking up every damn fight before the second punch I I I get it man you’re a badass and I respect that I would never want to go one-on-one against you but like come on I mean they and and to that to that note Jared you’re right they should stay out a little bit because when you get more bodies start going out like that like look we had media members around it Davey Seagal gets pushed down but one by Kyle Bush but I think he only got shut down because other crew members were getting to Ender on Kyle so we have media members who were just you know just trying to document what’s happening getting in danger now because we got so many bodies going at it the Bob meme is hilarious though poor Bob that was the first replay I saw in Twitter I just like and it’s a fight it’s it’s really shaky Bob ly I’m jealous we didn’t have one of us there just to have more of an in-person encounter and all that yeah I I I’ll tell you what I was there for that one with gson and and uh Chastain last year and it’s it it’s crazy like if you’re not 100% keyed in because I was about to key in on Larson because he was getting interviewed I believe when that started up or was about to and like I just saw it right near me like you don’t know what’s going on like you got to key in quick and know where the hell you are so it’s like a lot of these guys getting pushed down like I I understand why the faces are hilarious nobody got hurt luckily I just I am still on the the train of let these guys go at it until like a punch or two is thrown or somebody hits the ground or something get him away from each other then but it like if we’re gonna use this promote this and we’ve seen the Chastain Gregson fight and we’ve seen the 79500 and we’ve seen countless other fights promoted hell when Kevin Harvick got brought on the fox Booth they showed all the different fights he was in like if we’re going to promote this at least let him have at it let him actually fight like men and what the heck happened the boys have at anyways yeah I think that kind of got phased out like in through the 2010s I think they’re like yeah we might have overstepped a few lines when uh when Edwards now hell of Famer sent Brad kazlowski waving into the crowd yeah yeah what what did you remember most for for your Hall of Fame career well me and Brad had did some stuff back in the day he ain’t gonna kill my boy I’ll never forget that quote I so my take is I think the Stenhouse penalty like you said was consistent with previous penalties it’s steep $75,000 fine for a glancing blow doesn’t seem fair but uh it was premeditated NASCAR made it obvious last year that if you wait on somebody hours after the race and then jump them well Matt Crafton allegedly jumped Nick Sanchez we don’t have video of that of how that one got started but if you Ambush face if it’s premeditated and you throw a punch when Kyle Bush actually seemed was trying to deescalate the situation it makes it look bad and and that’s you can’t do that NASCAR’s made that clear so I was a little surprised folks like Daniel Suarez were like what they’re not letting us show our emotions it’s like boy did you see Ros Chastain get no penalty Austin Hill sent maet Snyder into next year and got no penalty if it’s Heat of the Moment you both just got out of the car you’re John on Pit Road stuff happens NASCAR is made clear do that all you want no penalty we’ll promote it but if you wait on a guy and have your crew members there putting him in a headlock yeah that’s premeditated that’s a penalty so I thought the penalty was consistent it seems like a steep penalty but you have to remember this is the Cup Series so you know while a Truck Series driver will get a $25,000 fine that’s $75,000 in Cup Series money is the way NASCAR looks at it so I didn’t have an issue with that penalty but yeah if we want to talk about Kyle Bush it opens up a can of worms you know he he admitted to intentionally spinning someone on a podcast as should something be done there but I will be clear he did not right rear I got this comment a lot in my video today he did not right rear Ricky Stenhouse so no suspension like Bubba no suspension like Elliot it was a he spun a guy out who then overcorrected and nosed it into the wall I made sure all this week when I was talking about it on Twitter to just I never I never said the the the right well if we’re talking about right hooks it’s from Ricky’s arm but there was no right hooking there was no right rearing anybody here I mean he he did he did uh you know he he wrecked them that’s all to happen yeah but I do I I one yall said it I do agree with the point that Stenhouse is really the loser in all this because you know he gets the penalty he’s now not able to retaliate on track because NASCAR is going to pull him aside and say hey don’t touch the eight car or worse is coming like this needs to be over so Stenhouse has a wrecked race car and he’s $75,000 poor and what did he get a glancing blow on Kyle Bush like that’s kind of that’s kind of disappointing for him I want to ask really quick because I’ve used this as a blanket on umbrella rule before did they use actions detrimental to stock car racing on this one or they use a different rule they have a different category it’s just like a generic behavioral like it was labeled something else but yeah no it wasn’t that it was something else purposely as gray as possible to make a ball and strike call um probably because I I just remember a couple fights like 2000s and 2010s where it’s like actions detrimental to stock car racing it’s like it’s so detrimental we’re going to put it on every Fox commercial for the Dayton a 500 even though it’s not at this track but okay they can’t even use that term anymore Danny H and Dirty Mo already copyrighted it I’m glad it’s been turned into a meme because I hated that rule so much in the 2000s and I wasn’t even watching an’ 04 so people can’t say it’s cuz Junior got penalized that’s not why I dislike the rule it’s just so purposefully vague like so many of these behavioral rules are it just it irks me man um but yeah that this is I think this is going to be the big talking point of of probably the first half of the Season at least I would think I don’t know there’s been so many damn things that have been amazing that have happened this year don’t get me wrong as much as we might have issues nitpicking here and there I think I can say for all of us we enjoyed the hell out of it yeah it’s the NASCARs on such a role that even kind of bland races have highlights when it’s all said and done and are getting on Pat McAfee show and things like that like that’s that’s the role we’re on NASCAR is just it’s such a weird company like I’m talking about more the at this point but it’s such a weird company and the fact that you know they’re going to promote this fight all over things for years to come which should they they had promoted in the past um Ryan Newman St 2500 wreck they had promoted with Ryan priest’s wreck from last year you know they’ll take these jawdropping moments and they’ll promote them like crazy yet when you know in these fights and they say no no no that was wrong put it in the commercial go ahead you’re not gonna see the NFL go use Antonio Brown running off the field like this in commercials for next seasons they should though I’d love to see that um I I think it does go back to what what you all said about the 79 Daytona 500 that is the race that put NASCAR on the map if you will and it was you know bookended by a fight a massive fight breaking out on the last lap of the Great American race so I think NASCAR is different from other sports in that respect I also think NASCAR isn’t like football where you’re not going to get a highlight reel every week of 60 yard bombs and Diving catches and you know huge sacks you know oh what a three wide move that doesn’t get shared around a lot yeah so the highlights are when something unusual or shocking or like y’all said jaw-dropping happens and in this case it’s a fight and so they’re going to promote it because they can trace it back to 1979 and say that’s who we are that’s our roote so that that’s where I think it comes from I think NASCAR you know has to maintain some sense of control you can’t have you know a team ambushing a driver after the race another driver jumping someone after the race you can’t have that you do have to draw the line somewhere um do I like that they continue to use Matt kenith wrecking Joey Lano in promotions no I think it is an egregious double standard but they’ve been doing this for a long long time so I guess I guess my long-winded take is I’m numb to it let them do what they want to do mean I’m using it I just wish theyd own it yeah so yeah that’s the way I’ve seen a few people mention this too that Ricky did go on stacking pennies of coral Joy this week and he said on there that he’s not gonna retaliate because it’s not worth it well here’s the thing to remember about stacking pennies you know it’s good good show cor Joy his team do a good job with that but it is a NASCAR owned and produced program uh Rick’s not going to go on there and say anything bad right now gotta remember that he’s also afraid of Richard Chris’s gonna kick his ass yeah he threatened to fight dirty if Ricky wrecks his car so he I’ll tell you what he’s one of the few like 70 eight-year-old men who I’d be like you know what I I think I’m not going to take him on I didn’t realize this I read somewhere today you we all know about when the hold my watch Richard childr when he you know punched Kyle Bush way back in the day I’ve read today I didn’t remember he got fined apparently $150,000 for that yeah that was in you know whatever year that was that was money 2011 money he got hit with twice the penalty Stenhouse got so you know I’m trying to like so in what other words uh it’s cheaper to punch Kyle Bush today than it was during his prime let’s just say it’s like one of the only thing that’s deflated since then all right can we take one can we take one second to talk about one more thing I want to talk about the ratings because they’re good okay I’ll shut up no go ahead I just don’t want to talk about the ratings they’re good this I thought you said don’t you want to talk about the rating no I said go ahead I want go talk Danny talk okay okay uh no I I just want to take a moment to acknowledge the fact that Kyle Bush literally said I suck too when when yelling back at Ricky St house I suck just like you do I love the arm movement too I I understand you we both suck we speak the same language now I’m only parked one hauler down from you that’s that that was the dam part of it Sho man well how about your ratings yeah well they’re good they’re good this week um so to talk about the ratings we had a 177% increase over last year with 2.57 3 million viewers 4% over 2022 and 21% of the total audience so 541 th000 was in the key demo which all for NASCAR races very good um also this is the second highest viewed Allstar race since 2017 uh again very good um and Indianapolis and Nashville were also in the top five markets which Nashville is usually close in the top 10 or around there it’s me and jar we have a million TVs on we do I I got one back there I got one right here over there um and so so a lot of crossover here now I want to talk to somebody else really quick about the second half of the ratings uh because it’s about the indie car side of it so we’re going to welcome our special guest right now David land oh he’s here that’s good timing right there how about that mut muted you are muted sir almost good enough smooth I am the master of good timing but I’m not the master of unmuting myself how we doing tonight boys pretty gooddy rocking that Pacer’s hat with pride this week I you know what look I am not a bandwagoner I might make bandwagoner guides but I’m not a bandwagoner all right they yeah it was an ugly loss ugly loss Lo but we’re we’re standing on business and understanding value with the Pacers I still think they win it in seven understanding value I’ve never heard that that’s why I’m GNA talk about my teams from now on good way to do it if that’s what we’re gonna call it then I’ve been understanding a lot of value being a Vikings fan the last 25 years I’m right there with you as a Colts fan unfortunately that’s been uh been tough since pton Manning you got a Super Bowl that’s true that’s true that is true but I mean is it really a Super Bowl when beat the Bears uh my family is all Bears fan so I’m going to just plead the fifth on that one no bears I’m just a Titans fan we were one yard short I would take anything at this point yeah you know what yeah yeah Danny that was tough but you’re a divisional rival so I have no sympathy Zer actually what’s funny is I’m the only out of division one in here because I’m Texans so we are all AFC South on board pretty much you know what we can all understand why no one likes Jacksonville right there’s no one in here understand that value we really need to set that up we need to just get the entire AFC South in here and then the loan Vikings fan being like uh water bug not taking sides um but let’s take some sides on this one we were talking David about the ratings Allstar race up 17% year-over-year uh Indie 500 qualifying up 35% year-over-year with 1.14 million viewers also the trucks uh on Saturday on FS1 also had over 600,000 viewers so really good on their part too yeah that’s good for them so uh I guess we kind of have finished up with the allar race part of it but the I think ratings wise we can talk a bit about the Kyle Larson bump on this one because I think that when you see both of those go up as majorly as they did that’s what it was so David you’re fresh on in here we’ve given a lot of art takes I want to know your take on this well it’s not surprising right like everybody knew that Kyle arson I mean I’ve seen it numbers my God that Kyle Larson interview we got on Tuesday got 100,000 views like people are interested in this right um I but I I will say this as well I think that that this month in I say month it’s been a week right but like I’m still still living in 1995 but this this week of practice for the Indie 500 has been so like headline generating you have these insane crashes that everybody’s seeing you see Kyle Larson setting really really fast times the speed are high everything is kind of set up the way and then you have you know for a lot of people the villain going into the month is team Pensky they’re doing really well people are tuning in to see if they can be knocked off their pedestal they weren’t but that’s what the race is going to be for and if yeah of course Kyle Larson has has that too but you know people might tune in for Kyle Larson and tune out immediately if they’re bored by it thank God everybody who tuned in for qualifying was entertained by what they saw and it’s crazy too because it’s single car qualifying right should be the most boring thing in the world and it’s like the most compelling thing ever when it’s the n500 it’s such a weird like contrast well there they do it so well my I was going to say kind of random personal anecdote my grandfather used to uh you know he got to a point when he was older where he had like 10 stories he would just repeat repe it every time you saw him but one of the stories he was not a race fan not even really a big sports fan but he went to the Indie 500 qualifying I think in the in the 80s I want to say and he would still talk about that with me uh you know every time I saw him that’s how what much that stood out to him was the speed of the cars the spectacle the intensity of who’s going to make it who’s not you know cars are on the hairy Edge it’s dangerous um so that that that always stood out to me as well as someone who’s not been to an Indie 500 living vicariously through that story over and over and over against it’s like I get it when I watch it on TV I get it’s different than qualifying in other Motorsports well I tell you right now I just want to hit that point real quick uh to anyone at indie car or any indie car partners we have got to find a way to get Eric to the Indie 500 next year just I want to throw that challenge out I just need to go I just need to stop being lazy oh no we’re gonna get you there we need to get you there Danny if it gets rained out till Monday me Danny and John might might get there Monday it’s a shorter drive for y’alls away that would uh that would be really cool I think it will I unfortunately I think no I said this on Eric’s show today you know noon’s not going to save us here I think it is going to run on Monday or possibly even Tuesday or possibly worst case scenario Wednesday that hasn’t happen oh well yeah yeah I mean I hope I hope it’s not Wednesday but uh yeah it’s it’s uh definitely the weatherman’s the enemy right now it’s gonna be tough if it is if it has moved to Monday and it is reasonable for me to make it I might I might would try to up and theci side to go with Jarrett uh but if not oh well I will be going by the way I will be going to Indie next month to see Caitlyn Clark oh all right our new uh our new hero our new pton Manning here in uh in Indianapolis it is exciting times there in Indi people in the background now it’s super exciting I don’t know background what are you talking about there’s someone here oh wow oh I didn’t realize that was an opening put your head down you gota there got Emerson F got Emerson f look at that value wow Val the valuator going on value is the word of the night does Chase does Chase sell those hats he’s wearing do you sell those hats uh yeah I can he can he can you have you have to stand on business and stand on Aller Jr what do we got here don’t don’t forget Mario and Drey on a scooter Mario on a scooter it’s Indie 500 we he’s got a I I have his picture right here look at this insane value that’s incredible premium sleeve what you doing David L’s Mojo Dojo Casa house has become the content Hub over here we used to joke about the the racing Cloud house he’s got it going on there tonight yeah it’s crazy now you know it’s funny that that chase chase wanted to come up a little bit early for for the 500 he’s of course I guess we should introduce Chase in case you don’t know who he is um he’s a co-host on the Speed Street podcast with Conor Daly and uh and he’s got a hotel for tomorrow night through the race but he was like I want to come up early and start making content I’m like I got a couch so that’s how that happened so yeah know Chase is a good guy so it’s uh fun to have him over here been on both ends of that well David we’re going to roll on into uh the ending of of our cup talk a little truck talk before we get into the second half of the show so really quick let’s roll into the poll I asked everyone what did you think of the 20124 uh Allstar race 15,000 of y’all voted 11% said great great they thought it was a great race 37% said good so 48% in the positive on that one 30 said average 14 said below average and 8% said straight up bad so 22% had a negative opinion of this race as for the first comment shocker shocker it’s Isaac is it positive negative meme or a mix of some of those uh he he’s probably negative I mean legano LED almost every lap that doesn’t usually bring out the happy comments um you usually get these polls out before they would had time for a five so you that’s a negative one David what do you think do I get to guess it’s negative for sure it’s always negative on the internet what do you what is this this isn’t this isn’t positivity the Internet it’s gonna be negative sometimes our top comments shock us you’d be surprised but what what was it jar what did they say so Isaac said really NASCAR this was your attempt to improve short track racing it looks exactly the same as other short track race I’ve seen this year once again it can’t be a difficult ask to at the bare minimum go to 750 horsepower and a [ __ ] race car whoa whoa whoa swear jar I’m not even kidding David for the last like month straight they have been positive the one night that you jump in here yeah there we go that we got an are you blaming me for that it’s like just pointing out the the the unfortunate timing I was waiting for there to be like an edit an edit and never edit holy crap a fight no there wasn’t there there was like a little more saying it’s the easiest solution in the damn world WTF is your problem NASCAR very opinionated I like it oh come on we’re all somewhat grown-ups in here we’re we’re might not be grown-ups up here but we’re grown-ups uh we can we can swear a little bit but that that was the poll on that side of it let’s look at some of the comments we can actually look at the top of the comments there’s probably some positive ones in here um maybe not uh the first comment and it’s like a wide margin from bocott says this race peaked on lap two that is true that’s just a factual statement I don’t almost be that as a positive statement uh Flying Pizza says I love how Goodyear tries to make a tire that wears a lot but they end up creating the most durable Tire they’ve ever made it’s it is insane it’s remarkable uh let’s see let’s go a little further down because I don’t want going crazy at this tire um hin fanatic says Stenhouse is lawyer your honor my client was simply standing on business understanding value um Jacob here says he accidentally fell asleep uh actually I had a moment like that so you know how I do the post race shows for truck exfinity and cup and I forgot which one I think it was a truck race recently and it was like really boring and like I had been up I think like 36 hours cuz I had to like go like to a different state and back and then do something else here or whatever and I fell asleep for like 30 laps and I realized I paused it and so I had to watch the race at Double speed to get caught up before the end so I could actually like talk about what I saw and I didn’t miss anything and trust me it’s the only time I’ve ever done it I probably should not be admitting this on inter safe with us yeah there is no shame every Nascar fan should admit that they sleep during races I do it was the first time I ever have without being sick like I the only other time I ever fell asleep during a race was actually halfway through a Richmond race in ‘ 06 that Junior won because I had like 1003 temperature do 20 do 2021 a race Alex Bowman one I slip for almost the entire first half of that and woke up and he’s going to win I actually have a funny story about a do race two years before when he finished second and he was going for his first win I had a college exam and I had snuck in ear earphones uh into the exam and had my hood up and listened to the race on MRN as it was going for a DOA race you risked all that for a do race I I didn’t really care about college damn I’ve I I don’t think I’ve ever fallen asleep during a race so intense back back to the comments I don’t sleep I don’t really nap I’ve never been I can’t sleep on planes I can’t sleed does it count to fall asleep like during a 24-hour race because I’ve totally done that 24hour R you’re supposed to fall asleep with TV on and wake up middle Night Watch race and then go back to sleep and wake up the morning watch more you just need a yeah that’s always like you just need a three minute alarm clock with garage 56 that’s all you need yeah what is that oh it’s a garage 56 garage6 that’s a cool like was that like a postcard or sticker cuz you were there so you saw garage I saw the garage 56 car race you heard it that’s I was at Lama actually I didn’t get that from Lama I have a friend who uh who’s a friend with the m President John dunan and he gave him one and then he gave it to me so it was really cool so that’s amazing that garage 56 has blessed your presence I know I can’t wait till the diecast comes out of that thing I’m gonna buy the heck out of that yeah I’ll tell you one really quick thing about garage 56 the I think that’s the best thing Nascar has done in years because you go to a foreign country and I’m telling you because I was there every time that car went by there was one of two reactions it was either or it was like and it was everybody and and Lama is such a like a Melting Pot of so many different cultures and so many different people coming out to that race for NASCAR to be exposed on that Global of a scale like this is what we’re about this is what we do what how awesome was that so yeah just it was awesome amazing I was I was at a wedding that week and I I’ve been to places like this meeting new people and he’s I’m the NASCAR guy and people might ask me about Daytona or whatever but I had like four different people come up to me and ask me are you watching grage 56 like are you watching this I was like yeah what let’s talk you know no I your point stands I think even here State Side so sorry jar it’s all good keep hitting my interupting the gutter no well we’re not even at the gutter comments yet boy that’s the best part um a few more here really quick before we go to the Ian the Motorsports man says better than 2023 personally I had fun watching this race Mr man says we need Rockingham back I agree um Braden says a fight for the ages uh let’s get let’s get down to the gutter comments we had uh 456 uh just keep with the 56 uh theme here 456 commenters uh so let’s get down to David we now do a thing where we have our bottom three comments and we have our G comments uh oh they’re not Bots are they uh no we make sure some people actually game the system they purposely put stuff like about Chase Elliot just to get voted down so it I have I haven’t actually vetted these yet so like I I I sort of on the show as I’m talking to you I’m like looking and I’m like all right well actually I can’t do that one so we’re just going to remove I’m realizing there’s some I can’t do so let’s see I can do the the worst one which is not that bad I can do the one there I can’t do the other one I know if I want to get kicked off YouTube I could do it but I don’t want to okay I think I should I can do this All right so the third lowest is from AET talks who says horrible race no tire wear hope you oldfashioned folk realize old tracks suck send the All-Star Race to a modern new track like Phoenix for better racing whoa Phoenix what any track in the world and you chose that one and not the Charlotte oval that we went to for years glad that it got thumbed down so much it got put in the gutter sorry a AE racing I’m sorry I forget what the name was yeah good modern day Charlotte could be with this car for the All-Star Race yeah used to be believable what bu not says in the chat uh well Danny Powers here says what happened to inverting the field take it back to Charlotte and do the race Justice that was a second Lotus comment well that one seems a little more rational so I’m surprised I’m know why mad yeah and the lowest one was from Fear butter who says uh pretty mediocre Sten house punching Kyle was the only highlight I don’t see why why did people thumb that down I I can’t disagree with them maybe that’s when the Kyle bus fans jumped in they were mad they dude they were mad Sunday night like I I called Kyle Bush on my show I started purposely doing that and it just pissed him off more and then at the end I like saw a few of them be like so I watched it and yeah he uh St house didn’t get into him I never really saw anything from uh Twitter’s favorite KY Bush fan um Dalton good I never saw anything from him I think he works for he does work for RCR now so he’s go to watch what he says yeah well that was the cup R get suspended no I don’t know the the team owner might be on his side on this one I’m just laughing if you get what if you know Ricky Stenhouse senior you know is involved in the altercation then here [Laughter] comes I want see it man I want to see it hey he’s in position it could happen he he unpr Kyle bus away from Green Shirt man that would be hilarious honestly that he would he should get a medal if that happens I love that i’ I’d be all for him man funny dude in person funny dude but really quick there was one other race uh at wilksboro that took 23 hours and that was the truck race we we could we can kind of skim through this one but there’s there’s uh a few big things to talk about here first off is that was a lake uh so it wasn’t Martinsville but Kyle Kyle Petty got his wish come true of turning a track into a bass fishing pond yeah that was insane that was three four feet of water I was ready to to hook the boat up and I’ll come race well you guys saw the crew guy who just kept diving face first into it right like like there weren’t Porta potis on that infield yeah I me think about that for a second it’s just there is at that point in that water there is fuel there is oil there is all kinds of nastiness on the ground that is like the dirtiness level of like a mid 2000s Cleveland Browns locker room I mean it’s just gross I I don’t want to know what’s in that water or what has been made from that water going through there but it was pretty damn cool to see I’ll admit as much it’s all gone the next day so I guess they must have a good drainage system there yeah they said the drainage got drainage got blocked and that’s why it filled up like a fishbowl but I don’t know it’s also an old track it might you know I I wish there was one of those people that films those satisfying videos of unclogging like a manhole to watch it go down um now got the win yeah Heim time is uh is back in progress I mean I I can’t say I’m too surprised the one who really stole the show was Butterbean I mean he Queen I didn’t realize he was basically the most going to be the most popular driver outside of Kyle lson that whole weekend like hey that short track those short track fans they are loyal I love it man exactly there need there needs to be more Olive branches to that side of the sport and he scored a top five right in his truck series debut that’s huge that’s impressive I mean he was at one point he was the fastest guy on track and he was which truck wasen again uh was he Trion I can’t remember off top of my head I believe it was the one right yeah um I was trying to look up how old he is he’s 26 wasn’t he fastest in practice at one point yeah like so he had tremendous weekend he he even got the attention of uh Brad kazlowski there while he was up on the uh stage in Media Center yeah he’s like Brad what are you looking at is he’s like sitting looking off screen he’s like yeah he kicked our ass last year I want to see what he’s doing but I gotta say this one didn’t I don’t get as much press as I wish it would have but Conor Jones the 18-year-old driver in the 66 truck um did anyone I want to first ask did anyone ever ever find out why the hell he was called to the NASCAR hauler other than just like kind of parking across the track to to you know get back moving like there was no reason given on the broadcast which I’m not shocked it’s Fox Sports One But like I didn’t even know he got called to the huler heer was it for something like they never said they never said Bob didn’t even know like no one ever said anything and you know that that Booth wasn’t going to say anything they’re just going to talk about Daniel Dy and and um that one country singer uh so the funniest part is he lost power steering and he brought it into the pits he goes guys we got to be done I don’t have power steering and This Crew guy just goes or you could be a man and drive it damn I mean I mean for real I know I know drivers you know who have driven lesser equipment that have finished races with uh without power steering Ryan Vargas has told us that he’s he’s had to finish races without power steering so fun but it it can be done driving without power steering sucks I had to do it in the middle of winter up in Illinois a couple years back and it’s awful like you you have popey arms after you’re done like it is just I I I had to drive from uh I went to school at NIU and which was about 50 miles or so maybe a little less away from where my grandparents lived and I call my grandpa as I’m driving there like hey I need to bring the car up uh it’s just not turning anymore I think the power steering’s out and I had to drive all the way up on icy back roads and by the time I get up there I’m just can we take 10 minutes before we look at it it it’s awful it sucks but you’re also a professional race car driver so that that’s that’s my take on it but wow we actually managed to get through an entire race weekend in an hour nice mean the show is going to be like an hour and a half before we’re done yeah so we should probably get into the first Super Chat stage break uh anyone want to keep time for me just let me know when I can start this up rock and roll I got you all right by the way we are less than 200 away from the 500 like goal so uh lick that like button while we’re at it there’s over 600 y’all watching so I know be a man and like leave a like on it so that you can see David L try to guess a NASCAR driver oh boy yeah I got a good one this week um so I might actually get it I’m better at the old stuff than I am at the new stuff we’ll see oh oh damn you might want to restart that really go okay I’m going okay bayy rker for the first two here five and a two uh says what what’s see what was where what was where it all went wrong for shr NASCAR choosing uh Bristol dirt over Aldora or Ford rejecting Kyle Larsson two moments that did damage I think well the Stewart side for sure both did damage I’m I’m gonna probably say the Ford rejecting Larson Stewart wise is probably the point and0 return like he I think the exit strategy started there Mak the most dramatic sense so I I’ll run with that yeah Hollywood would like that Netflix would like that uh the2 one here says Bush causes the wreck on purpose and gets nothing come on yeah because he didn’t admit it until he did on that podcast this week I’m on that I’m on that uh train Isaac the Jedi for five with the I suck as much as you quote is Kyle Bush entering the Lightning McQueen cars three McQueen is fading fast phase of his career I you can see a noticeable decline in his stats the moment NASCAR took away full practice and qualifying covid year since his numbers have gone down doesn’t make a difference his average finish was like 11th eth ninth 11th and then since then it’s like 14 14th 15th 14th 16th moment they took away practice so I know Hunter Nickson fishing for the 10 this Sunday is like Christmas Day for a racing fan I can’t wait go Larson we’ll talk about more with with the double this weekend as well as the rest of the weekend as well and what might extend into the week hopefully not uh Fred dog 81 for the five remember when people were trying to make KB a likable Underdog at Daytona who isn’t hot tempered or wrecks anyone else Ridge Farm remembers yeah Nas Carson for the five nwp north wilksboro trucks good race but runaway finish Cup replay of Jeff Burton 2000 New Hampshire awful race but an entertaining post-race fight interesting comparison I like I like the comparisons triple P productions for the five on my way to Charlotte for the Koch 600 also going to go to Arcade day and a members race at the hall of fame this week again we’ll have fun yeah cool enjoy it uh how close am I you got a minute let’s say let’s just do that yeah at Martin fan for life thank you for the 14-month member chat uh saying I’m a Ford fan but hoping Larson gets a top five in both races yeah I think he’s the one we’re all just getting behind I’ll read three more here because there’s I think three more that I can get and then save the rest for the second half uh palm tree for the five can’t wait to watch drivers do Coke and run 600 miles this weekend oh wait oh is that how it works I guess so uh Fred dog for the two uh did KB deserve a fine two for deliberately crashing well he admitted it so we’ll see yes and the last one they’re probably not going to do anything but it’s pres is there so this last one I saw we were talking we were talking about the character in the track um this was from two tough two tame the one month member chat and said William Byron ran into character for the first time I saw that one earlier I love that yeah that that made me laugh it wouldn’t let me leave a heart on it well I guess because not my channel but I was trying to leave it like a thumbs up and it wouldn’t let me but that was fun member chats but we’re going we’re going to save the the rest for the second Super Chat stage break uh but now guys I’m actually looking outside and there’s still pretty dark clouds and it’s fitting because it is the lightning round as Eric gets struck by lightning no you need to do the my lightning sound effect uh really quick really quick lightning round this week first off I want to thank the Spotify side of things for voting on their poll I asked where do you want the All-Star Race to be held next or you know just for next year um four options here the last option with 5% of the vote is Bowman Gray uh North wisborough got 19% of the vote at third Charlotte got 34% of the vote second and the winner with 42% of the vote was Rockingham um so now I’ll Think through the rest of the show what the poll for this week will be uh a few quick things here Josh biki will be in the number 19 jgr car for the Xfinity series uh for a couple races the rest of 2024 so good opportunity for him um the sports Emy for outstanding audio and sound for live sports events went to NASCAR on Fox proving that Helen Keller is the only voter yeah I saw that and I Grim it like 10 years ago yes no we’ve actively had people on this show complaining about how badad Sly Fox mixes the audio for races nowadays so that on Race broadcasts that’s brutal that is unbelievable that they won the award this year that’s disgusting I’m horrified I mean I it just proves you can’t take any of these award shows seriously never probably never could like some people get pissed off when you know their favorite movie doesn’t

get that specific energy drink of his I I’ll bring it on next time you’re on the show no no no no no no not this month not this month nope not happening ask me in June we’re having a good month boys I think I I think I actually do have a can of that in my uh fridge still hey if I come up on Monday let me uh have it for a prop you know what you absolutely can you know what how about you post about it on Twitter and tag it everybody who doesn’t like me and then you can it’ be fantastic it’ll be a hit tweet trust me I’m pretty sure we have overlap in who doesn’t like us on Twitter so I bet we do I bet all four of us do in this my goodness to be fair it wasn’t me that wanted to actually push on asking this when I told my fiance you’d be on the show she’s like tell me where I can find some of it so Amazon well we tried and Amazon declined our order no kidding yeah not like them to turn away money I know that’s crazy so I just oh what I want to surprise her one night like what what fiance wouldn’t want you’re really you’re really making me want to say it I’m just not going to careful IUS careful I know I’m flying too close to that sun right there man oh man um real quick there’s no good seg segue I have for this one next week we’ll be on Danny’s channel so we’ll bring all this over to your channel Danny on the 29th of May and we got a special guest in Jeff faviano coming on in that one and raw Gator the week after so that yeah looking forward to next week we’ll have Jeff on and uh we can talk a little bit of NASCAR gaming future we can talk about what’s going on in the in the wild and Wacky World of ocrp and all that good stuff and maybe there’ll be more news about the sexiest man alive um but that is the lightning round Eric you’re going to be struck by lightning again make a sound effect that I gotta outdo myself every time oh my God uh by the way we are less than 150 likes away from the random driver segment so come on let’s get up there we’re only let’s see 134 away you guys can do look people it is so freaking easy take your mouse and just click the button or if you’re on your phone click the button you’re on your TV it’s a little harder to figure it out but click the button Danny’s yelling at me you know who’s clicking the self-destruct button might be steuart hos uh so good segue I’m I’m getting better working on him um so there’s rumors everywhere about Stuart hos whether it’s you know a rumor of oh you know so and so drivers left out to it’s all going to go under the the rumor is a fire sale at the moment that’s the latest one the Jean hos Tony Stewart may sell all four charters for somewhere between 20 and 30 mil a piece uh thus flooding the market and also reducing the price by anywhere from 33 to 50% compared to where they are at this point um talk about value where do yeah value there’s there’s there’s see there’s more depreciating value that we can talk about there U but yeah Eric lead us off on this one I think so about a month and a half ago I heard something about Cole kuster being linked to Front Row Motorsports and at the time I thought what the what and then Michael McDow announces he’s leaving for spire and I thought oh okay I guess there’s an opening there but why wouldn’t Cole kuster just drive for Stuart hos they’re going to keep at least two charters right and their Xfinity Series team now I’ve heard and there’s rumors everywhere so take all of this with a grain of salt I heard a couple weeks back that everything’s for sale at Stuart hos to recently there’s a strong likelihood that front row effectively replaces Stuart hos as that third Ford key partner so they go from a two to potentially a fourcc car team the other two Stuart hos Charters could go elsewhere but I could see maybe a kuster going to front row if he doesn’t stay with the Xfinity series program um but it’s all up in the air and you know I think I feel for the four drivers because they don’t know what’s going on and they’re all trying to race for their jobs right now while also trying to make the playoff there’s a lot going on I think Chase Brisco will find a seat because he’s good and Ford likes him and I think Noah Gregson has enough sponsorship and potential upside that they don’t have to worry too much it’s a distra action but I don’t think they need to panic Josh Barry Ryan priest you know I’ll try to think glass half full but it might be a little trickier for those two but my reaction is wow I did when I first heard a month and a half ago that something was up with front row I had no idea that it was potentially should still say potentially going to lead to all this it’s Madness I that’s the thing is like it’s ch the thing is it’s changing every day from what I’ve heard like at least rumors I hear from people is that like this thing will be true one day and that’s well no now this has shifted a little bit here and back and forth but I mean I want I want all of us to kind of put a percentage 100% being completely sure 0% not never going to happen to this statement steuart house racing is not in NASCAR in 2025 I think 5% I think they will keep their exfinity Series team because it’s very important to Ford they might stay with Ford in some ways as like a key partner Xfinity team cuz think about OS leaves Xfinity what do they have left Ryan SE they get their cars from shr I’m pretty sure like what what am racing I suppose um so I think the exini team sticks around I think it’s I’ll give it a 40% chance they still they’re still in cup let me put it that way whoever wants to go next go for it I want I want to hear all these talk about the the chances that they are just gone from Nascar next year right I mean you can differentiate cup and XFinity I think Eric did that and I think that’s probably a good way to go about it too but go for it I will say I will say 45% chance that they are out of NASCAR entirely I feel a lot more confident and than Eric per se but there’s a chance that makes me think that hos might stick around in some capacity but I definitely think Tony wants to move on I I could see a situation where Tony sells his two charters and Jean keeps his income um but I also think there’s a chance that it just all goes away because you know that’s a partnership and Tony is most of the sponsorship right so if Tony leaves if you’re Jean shouldn’t you sell everything and just you know cut your losses at that point that’s kind of my thought process with that what was it that Barney Visser said wasn’t it Barney Visser or no maybe it was Bob leine I think it was Barney Visser said right around the time Furniture Row went out of business and shut down that you know hey we could keep this thing afloat but we can’t keep the same alliance with jgr we’re going to go from contending for championships to running 25th and I don’t really want to do that so I texted a source by the way I can I can give you some info yeah oh yeah this Source who’s pretty good uh connected to NASCAR says junk show they are all but done life support yeah that’s that’s where the rumors all gone in the last couple of weeks that’s interesting I I think I think hos what am I trying to say where was I going with that I think Gan hos is out just because if you go from four to two cars you’re likely no longer a key Ford partner um and why keep pouring money into this thing uh if you’re going to run 25th to 30th which I guess they’re basically doing now which is What’s led to this instance but you’re right David about Tony Stewart playing some role with sponsorship like that Mahindra deal with Chase Brisco who is in the commercials with it’s Tony Stewart Pro initially was a Tony Stewart sponsor yeah now they they’ll stick with Noah I think in some capacity have to stick with them uh well it depends on where he goes if he goes to if he drives the L’s car next year then maybe not but that’s just you know speculation I got a theory on Noah I don’t know if I want to save it for the pred predictions I don’t know if I want to do it now but I’m going to give my percentage really quick I think 80% chance are gone the drivers are already shopping themselves out chase brisco’s a Ford guy already connect with the Wood Brothers he can say he’s not talking to anyone he just doesn’t want to be Kirk Cousins and admit tampering um my theory on Noah Gregson is he’s going to drive the three car Fast Pro Shop sponsor I see been rumored to to maybe step aside go to the the uh ownership side of things and on top of that with that similar connection to sponsorship I think Noah Gregson could probably perform better than 31st or 32nd in points which is where Austin Dylan has been if there’s any performance aspect of the contract Austin Dylan is not meeting it that’s my I just think that RCR would be mistaken and not put Austin Hill on that three car instead but but I think that the thing with Noah Gregson is Noah greggson is proven this weekend with the fan vote like he is a popular driver I mean Alex Bowman is a popular driver and he didn’t beat Noah Gregson in the fan fo and it’s not to rub salt in the wound cuz like I I don’t have any ill will or anything against Alex Bowman but Noah Noah greggson is a very popular driver and I think that between that that side of it the the sponsorship side of it the fact he can perform better than Austin Dylan the fact that Austin Dylan probably would admit that like I just it it makes sense to me whether or not it happens I don’t know but it makes sense to me so oh at the same time uh as we’ve been talking about Kyle Bush’s decline uh would that be a lateral move or would it be going down for Gregs at this point I don’t know it probably be at least lateral I did look it up the other day and I was just confirming it Austin Dylan it’s believed his contract goes through next year which is the only reason I think he’ll see this contract through they just brought Justin Alexander out of retirement I think they’ll give them next year to try and figure it out but if next year’s a struggle I could absolutely see Austin Dylan moving upstairs I like the Bass Pro connection I don’t think Noah Gregson personality wise meshes with Richard childis whatsoever I just don’t see that working out I don’t even think he meshes with Kyle bus do they still have a good relationship didn’t things kind of end a little ugly at kbm I’m not sure that we really we said the same thing about Tony Stewart about going to Stewart hos and now he’s been one of the best for drivers this year I thought that Gregson personality wise might not mesh with some of the other drivers because you know you got you know Grassroots guys like Barry and Brisco scratched and Claw for everything and then you got this Rich West Coast kid coming in there and it’s like I could see that clashing but him and Barry were already good friends from Jer Motorsports they were teammates I mean they obviously all seem to get along well because they’ve had secret study groups without Ryan Ryan priest here remember that so priest ended up being the odd man out which I did not see coming so maybe my judge of personality is off I will concede that by the way we’re 70 likes away so we’re we’re closing in y’all yeah it’s it’s a mess at steuart hos I definitely think you know it’s highly likely everything sells that that’s that’s where all signs seem to be pointing uh the question really to me now is who buys it I think front row buys two Jerry free I think Bob poers quoted him this week Jerry freees their general manager specifically mentioned that like three Charters is where they want to be like that’s like a sweet spot for them so you know maybe that means they only buy one charter and then there’s three going out to The Ether I have no idea but I could just see them I think track house is definitely going to buy at least one I don’t know if Shane Van giz ber is ready for cup fulltime he’s 15th in exfinity points in colag equipment he’s got a couple he’s got a couple of top 10 zaye Smith will get expect B svj who texes that like I think if track house gets one charter it’s zann Smith’s if they get two they’ll put sh Shane in cup but I’m just saying like unless the price is really good I don’t know if Now’s the Time for Shane he’s only 35 like he’s got five six more years of prime racing left you don’t need to rush him into the cup series if going to run 27th every week like I don’t know if he can only truly contend at road courses and maybe super Speedways give him another year in Xfinity like he’s getting better let him let him keep working it out and you know you know uh what’s the word expand gradually track house doesn’t seem to be quite at the top of their game right now the last thing they need to do is double in size spread those resources even more thin and and go from there like I I think there’s they need to be slow and methodical the way 2311 has been I think I also think RFK is ready ready to go get another one at this point they now that both drivers have won have won a race I think uh I think Now’s the Time they could probably roll out the number 60 as their third full-time number be fitting with uh what our next segment will be with the Hall of Fame who got voted in and who’s been who was really damn good in the 60 with the xinity series yeah we can move on to that if you’d like I don’t know there’s a whole lot else to add steuart is spiraling when it happens if if if and when it happens they go they go under all Fork Charters are sold we will have a really interesting discussion about you know how we got to this point because like with Furniture Row you know they shut down a year so after winning a championship not because they weren’t competitive anymore but just because they were a victim of NASCAR’s extremely flawed business model at the time they were a Colorado based team trying to make it happen the oldfashioned way and that’s just not feasible anymore but if Stuart hos goes under this year it’s not because they’re a scrappy upstar team it’s because they just over the course of several years lost veteran drivers lost multi-million dollar sponsors Tony and Jean became disinterested blatantly disengaged been slow it’s been Kevin Harvick calling them out this week it’s been a slow burn it’s very different you know one championship team shut down because of the business steuart hos shutting down would be to me just a complete you know negative forward to writing that rise and fall I’m just saying it now for an interesting story I’ll POS a question I’ve I’ve brought this up with Richard Childers racing too were they ever that good or was it the driver that was hauling their ass up you get r one year at least for sure they had one year for sure so did Michael Walch bracing well that they were still around who knows what they could still be capable of but but I’m just I’m thinking like Kevin harvi carried them for the most part of the last decade Tony Stewart before that Newman was hit or miss there’d be one year he’d be like a 10th Place guy in points another year he’s running where Dale junr was running in the two late 2000s you know Danica Patrick is she was a waste of resources let’s just say it at this point like in stock cars yeah um I mean Eric Al I guess is consistent Clint Boer was at the end of his career but could put up a few wins here or there I would say here’s where I think we talked ear about when where did their downfall begin You could argue it was you know when when Ford when Ford that’s what I was going to get to when Ford let uh wouldn’t let Tony Stewart pursue lson I don’t know if he wins that bidding war against Hendrick Motorsports but at the time Harvick was dominating so maybe Larson does end up at Stewart hos um that could be it I would go two years earlier when they lost Kurt bus to chip kassie uh Kurt bush is a franchise player we see how 2311 values him I think that was the start you lose Harvick eventually Clint Boer reti s you know now Kevin Harvick’s gone I think that was sort of the start what happened when Rous cratered Matt kenith left Carl Edwards left the next two years later Biff said left a year after that yeah yeah like that I think that was if I recall correctly he just said he he’d just rather not be in a sport alog together if he wasn’t GNA be competitive of them but yeah and then I but he uh was he on Dale Jr download I think it was where he said that he he had the offer that kenith got he had the offer to the 20 and then the 19 that Edwards got later and said no both times to stay loyal Maniac absolute Maniac I mean and then he ends up showing up years later of kbm and then the Rando 44 and now he’s got a YouTube channel I don’t know what anymore and he showed up and just kicked a bunch of kids asses in the truck series and said all right I’m done it’s on the Hall of Fame ballot yeah well the segue that’s good say that’s good segue so we got our Hall of Fame initiates this year nominees who have now been voted in so Landmark award went to Dean sicking the Pioneer ballot Ralph Moody modern era ballot Ricky Rudd Danny do do whatever celebration you need you’ve been on the screen sorry I wasn’t prepared but yes see I thought you were gonna play aliceon chains or something but that’s good too uh and then Carl Edwards got in do we have any issues with this or do we like it no issues for me this time I think I think based on the the nominees this is fine I would have probably voted Harry Gant in over Carl Edwards um I I think you can even make a case maybe I would have voted Jeff Burton or even Jack sprag who’s a three-time truck champion in first like Carl Edwards has Hall of Fame numbers um I think was it Jim pasal is in the Nascar Hall of Fame with 25 Cup wins so that’s sort of The Benchmark and Edwards had 28 he only raced full-time for like 12 or 13 years um but it’s you also have to keep mind what these guys did outside of the race car or off the pit box how did they shape the sport Carl Edwards didn’t really shape the sport at all he retired and disappeared it’s barely been seen since then whereas Jeff Burton is the head of the driver advisory Council his son’s in the cup series uh he’s a broadcaster with NBC that’s why Dal Hart Jr is a first ballot Hall of Famer was his on track results the best it was Hall of Fame worthy but it wasn’t the best he was a first ballot Hall of Famer because he has shaped the sport unlike any other driver the past two decades so yeah when you factor that in I might have put a different driver in over Edwards this time around but if Carl wasn’t going to get in this year he was most likely GNA get in next year so I really don’t have any significant issue with the list yeah Rick Ricky R I’ve argued too many times he should have been a Hall of Famer forever ago in my opinion uh what he accomplish as a driver was good but you know he was a semi-successful owner driver as well in a sport and you know his team had a short CH had a short time in a sport um but a very memorable uh time with that tide ride let me issue a brief correction Dorito’s Mountain Dew just mentioned I I mentioned Jim pasal is in he’s not actually in the Hall of Fame but that 25 win is like the Mark it’s like if you have more than that like deal jior is 26 he’s in if you have less than that that’s like the line so if you’re over 25 Cup wins the odds are you should make it get in sorry so I got that stat slightly wrong I will admit him while he wasn’t on my initial ballot the way that Dan Danny’s been on the Ricky Rd train for years so good on you it would just always be so unfortunate because it’s like he needs to be in but then they just be like oh here’s Dale here’s Jimmy and it’s like oh Ricky you keep getting pushed back and I’m like like Ricky rdd is 67 years old and I was like I don’t want this man to be like 90 in a wheelchair before when he finally gets in yeah but I agree I do I next year Harry Gant needs to get in unless is there is there somebody we don’t know of who is GNA get put on this ballot that will be I’m just curious what card are gonna have in the Hall of Fame for Ricky rad would it be a tide ride car would it be like the 28 would it be the the 21 I mean he’s got so many different car I think it has to be the tide R right like that’s when I think of Ricky Rudd that’s the car I think right what about when he drove for child briefly could throw that one of those in there definitely not his years at Yates or year at Yates what if those are the only cars they can find there’s not many of them left after that year oh well yeah you’re right they just don’t exist but yeah he did get a few wins there um but I I’m happy that he’s in I I still I think Randy dorton should be in just because you don’t see the contributions that those away from the track make to get into the hall and unless it’s like somebody really really damn good that like everyone talks about and can be put into a Pixar movie as a character um yeah I’m looking at Cars 3 on that one uh but that that’s just me on that one I’m surprised he didn’t make it because of the Hendrick stuff that’s been going on and how that’s been a continuing storyline in their 40th anniversary I thought the politics of that would get him in uh not that he doesn’t deserve to get an off of Merit I think he should um but that’s just my uh my take on it but I’m not too upset I mean it it it does seem kind of fitting and kind of like it came together right as Edwards is at the track a lot more I mean we saw Edwards at the track at two of the races we were at last year with Nashville and Darlington so it I think we’re gonna see him again my prediction might be right that Edwards will be back at a race again this year some someone said uh gave Hendrick a break for a year Well Ricky red was a Hendrick driver even so ex by the way 30 likes away um does anyone have any other statements David leave a leave a like on this video if the if the 97 Brickyard winner should be in the Hall of Fame that’s the that’s the car I’m voting for that’s what I think of with Ricky rud so let’s get that 30 likes for the 97 Brickyard winner in the Hall of Fame everything if if you watch long enough with David land will come back to Indianapolis that would be a good that was the tide ride right that would be a good looking C put that put that in there for d everything will come home to Indie all right well let’s see uh where are we at right now are we we getting no we’re not close enough so guys how about we go into our prediction segment so we’ll kind of explain how this goes for you David so we’re we’re g to put you on the spot a little bit I love the spot oh yeah so uh for the prediction segment here the rules are as such uh each host or guest will make three Nascar or Motorsport or show related predictions though I would save any race picks for the race pick segment later on uh in the night we’ve had a few run-ins to problems on that one um we will keep track at least with the host of each right and wrong prediction every week uh because we’re the only NASCAR show dumb enough to show how wrong we are uh and we will keep our predictions kind of concise keep them like two to three years within it we’ll keep track long term but I I don’t want to be looking 10 years down the road at some prediction we made in 24 and 2034 um and now part of this too is our accountability uh segment I’ll lead us off what I got right or wrong this weekend I had one wrong prediction I said the leader of the All-Star open with tend to go would not win the open he did I Gibbs let every lap yeah it was a theme of the night yeah uh Eric oh how did I do you said that there would be a surface related caution and or red flag during the North wols Bor Allstar race weekend uh there there was stuff on the surface that caused red flags but the surface itself did not and Danny I I could almost argue no you can’t well let me just make that no I agree it’s wrong but my AR my argument was the the reason behind my argument is it’s an old track and I thought SMI would do a shoddy job repaving it um you could argue the red flag for the truck race and then the four feet of water is a result of it being an old track and them not having the proper infrastructure I guess that’s not a surface related caution so that’s fair I’m just pointing out that you know I was on the right PA I was on the right path I just love that the little sound clip here I can almost argue no you can’t you guys would’t let me argue the the the two flips at too so you can’t we argued about that for three days yeah I was gonna say we let you argue pretty long on that one we had I even had a winning po to back me up and I couldn’t argue Danny you had the best weekend nothing came off the board for you I set myself up for a slow week uh so our prediction percentage as we run I have 36.36% I’m still in the lead over Eric’s 31.25 that’s how bad we are David 30% is the leader that’s how 36 36% is that be a good batting average in baseball close you could throw a blanket over us right now Danny’s at 29.63 all right let’s uh let’s roll on into it David do you want to lead us off or do you want to go uh shot like shotgun caboose on on the I’ll lead us off I’ll lead us off let’s go all right I hate I I am I’m gonna say this with the caveat that I’m absolutely trying to jinx it but I’m looking at the weather report and my prediction is that the Indie 500 for the first time since the 1960s or actually the 1970s because it used to so a little bit of a background before I say this the Indianapolis 500 used to has always run the day before the memorial day but before 1974 Memorial Day could fall on any day of the week so the 8500 up until 1973 was run on weekdays weekends whenever that day landed so I say this with as much confidence as I have that I’m going to jinx this we are about to see the first Indie 500 since 1973 to run on a Wednesday Wednesday Wednesday wow weather report does not look good all maybe you won’t be seeing us on Monday yeah well I can I I raining if it’s raining let me got a job to get back to I can work on the road baby I mean you guys can come hang out with the media center with me it’s gonna be a really long day if that’s the case well no we can’t just walk in there we don’t we don’t have access like you do for Indy is I can get you in I can get you in I I’ve already Sweet talked all the like all of the security guards in the media center love me all I do is go these are my friends can they come up and they go don’t worry don’t worry I’ve smooz the right people okay you can try that I’m not ready to risk that that’s how this business I am and I’m ready to risk on my next prediction I don’t know which one I’m going to choose from but we’re going to figure it out right now um my prediction is this Jimmy Johnson will be involved in one of the first three yellows in the K 600 oh that’s so that’s so mean to Jimmy well he’s gonna be in one of them I might as well make you’re not wrong you’re not wrong uh my first prediction is in a similar vein as David with the uh weather prediction although I won’t go maybe quite as Extreme as him I do believe both the Indie 500 and I’ll say the Koch 600 as well will be impacted in some way shape or form by weather so I feel like I’m still separate from you guys by saying this Kyle Larson will have no issues getting from Indie to Charlotte because Indie will be forced to postpone on Sunday plenty of time ahead of the C 600 to be run on Monday all right J it’s your fault if it gets rained out because we all tried to jinx it and you didn’t I mean I still have another shot I have two other predictions I can roll out there come on come on but I don’t want to ruin my my prediction percentage you’re up so we’ll see oh shoot I’ve got I’ve got to do more than one back on the clock no okay um Kyle Larson will finish in the top 10 in the n500 so you didn’t overlap with mine I will say this I this is one of them I did um this is my prediction this is a previous prediction I wanted to hedge my bets on it so I could be that one [ __ ] to say I was right I said he’d win both of them just because if it happens I will never let anyone forget even though I don’t think that’s necessarily going to happen um my next prediction I’m going to keep going with where I was before I think Noah Gregson in the next two seasons will drive the number three car at RCR all right okay I’m a petty [ __ ] I see that uh I believe next year it will be Harry Gant and Jeff Burton getting voted into the Hall of Fame off the modern ballot I watch it’s like oh this person here was a four-time champion and this this and this is going to be on the ballot yeah they’re going to put like some mod like not like a weekly series guy again or someone we’re gonna vote for Jimmy Johnson again why the hell not Indiana basketball Superstar Caitlyn Clark will be at the Indie 500 and be showcased being there either online or on TV in some capacity good prediction good prediction the online or anything like that could that if we’re going to keep counting that as a as a as a guess that could put me my prediction of the Iowa weekend in Play Still what was your pr500 n500 has nothing to do with what happens in Iowa no no but what I’m saying is like my prediction was that I that she in some way would be a special guest at Iowa and then I immediately was told oh yeah she has a game that day well if something’s pre-recorded since we’re counting it for Indie over digital we’re counting it for mine then I’m just I want to head I want to say that now before I have to make an argument about it in a month I just specified it in my prediction you did what you will with your prediction you’ve opened the you’ve opened the it wider on now and the scope is bigger now on what could be man all right making a lot of arguments on this show to back up our loose predictions it’s fun it’s fun man it’s fun and we’re 11 likes Away by the way so is this are we on the final round then of predictions we got one more each final round oh I go first don’t I okay one more time on the spot hold my hand here guys um here’s my prediction a Chevy will win the Indie 500 and the Brickyard 400 oh oh you’re Brickyard not going okay I like it all right all right what do I want my last one to be um I’ll put it like this before Chicago yeah I think before Chicago uh Alex Bowman will have 10 or more top 10s and lead the Nascar Cup Series still in top 10 finishes there’s a lot that can happen in those races we got we got Gateway which has been weird the 600 is has been amazing but also because of that has been difficult somoma there’s a lot that could happen but I think the Alex Bowman will have double digit top 10 and still lead the Cup Series in top 10 basically by July uh I think that Kyle Larson I you know I had to work a Kyle Larson prediction in here I think Kyle Larson if if he runs the indd 500 will finish top five in both races if he doesn’t run the IND 500 this is just a wash just delete this prediction jar does not count as a wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute so would be wrong no I’m saying if he make if he runs both races he’ll make he’ll finish top five so this is a 2025 prediction to be fair you didn’t specify the year well you got to be we got to be concise we can’t just be like if it happens it’s right like it’s right or it’s wrong that’s pretty [ __ ] concise like how much right or it’s wrong Eric there’s there’s if he runs the race well if he doesn’t run the race he’s damn no not GNA finish in the top so it be wrong right no but yes it will if he runs the nd500 he’s gonna finish in the top five and the K 600 obviously finish in the top five I don’t is that is that against the rules that feels like a pretty basic prediction I think it’s making it just the easiest right or wrong I mean it’s like okay fine I I’ll make it I’ll I’ll dumb it down to a first grade level Kyle arson will finish top five in the Indie 500 and the K 600 and if he gets rained out of the Indie 500 I guess I’m wrong because he didn’t run the race that I predicted he would finish top five and I guess I’m wrong because I didn’t predict the weather properly hey I didn’t know that I didn’t know that Eric Al marolo wasn’t going to get to run a truck race but I still got zero points from not being there so you got to suffer with this one too you knew the the CH pick Kevin the page you know there’s a chance he might not race oh speaking speaking of not making it stuff I’ll go with my last one here something will happen last minute on his schedule that prevents the former president from making to Charlotte after all because he’s gonna get rained out at indeed oh no and it was beautiful rain the big beautiful rain so good oh that’s all I’m saying on that and through our long stalling conversation we have hit 500 likes so let’s do let’s do the random dag segment now before we roll on into uh this weekend um so David with this make sure you can’t see the chat they will give it away oh okay let me let me minimize the chat okay chat has been minimized all right so this is the random driver of the week segment we basically I will basically throw out Clues I have over 20 this week uh so I’ll throw out clues for a random driver you can shout out who your guest is at any point you get three guesses at that point if you get three guesses and they’re wrong you’re out uh I at the document I sent to you David at the bottom has a list of drivers we’ve had in recent weeks we’ve had okay let me yeah just SC all the way to the bottom these are the ones we used kale Gil was last week kale Gil was last week Danny got that one uh I man Zoom I don’t want I managed to stump everybody with Chad chaff in the week before uh Danny got Carson josar right Eric yeah well Brock and I helped a little bit there yes you got the assist you guys got the assist uh oh who got Curtis Turner that’s tough man I can’t remember who did that was a while ago um you really you really screwed somebody Eric got Kenny Irwin Jr and a couple weeks ago that was a that was a luck one the last the last time the guest won it was uh old John Ramos getting Jimmy Spencer so okay he did get that one yeah good for him can be yeah remember he guessed kale Gail when I said that he was like born in the 60s hey he redeemed himself a guest has also got Tony Reigns and Eric also so gave her that I have a bad habit of like thinking out loud and saying names that other people then guess and wipe out from under me because it turns out to be correct so I need to stop I need to keep my thoughts to myself Eric got from what Alexandre saying Eric got Curtis turner oh yeah see I know Cur turn a little bit all right slapshoes did a good video on him way back uh when whenever back in the day so that would that’s everything I know about Curtis Turner I learned from our boy slap otherwise I’d probably be lost all right let’s roll into to it the uh starting with our first one here this random driver was born in Glendale Arizona okay I’ve already given given it away right I there’s one yeah there’s one driver I think is from Glendale but I may beong yeah that say I was go and say Alex Bowman get it over with is that your guess yes you’re wrong my guess is Michael McDow you’re also wrong okay I just had to throw it out there I never use all three guesses go just use those easy Arizona boys right off the bat I am not ready I’m not prepared to take a guess yet although that sounds familiar I think I might but I don’t have a name on my tongue yet yeah there can’t be that many drivers from Glendale anyway go go ahead go ahead jar what’s next this random driver is one of 10 children so are we sure it’s not Michael MCD I mean Michael mcdal probably has 10 children that’s why I guess I was assuming he was probably also one of a lot of I know he’s got a lot of kids Lendale Arizona and 10 children so this is probably an older driver then for sure well this random driver’s best cup finish was at Michigan International Speedway finishing fifth is it Morgan Shepard it is not okay so everyone has one guess on this is the earliest everyone’s had one guess off the board nice it’s because Arizona if You’ said he’s from Charlotte North Carolina we would have all just skipped over it this Rand driver only made 35 Nascar Cup Series starts oh yeah now you’re now you’re not speaking that language anymore 35 and one at Michigan no finished fifth at Michigan finished fifth at Michigan okay that was and that was his best cup finish so never won a cup race oh my Lord this random driver also served in the US Navy [Music] I’m like looking at the chat seeing like if anyone hasn’t uh has gotten any yet let’s see in the Navy in the Navy my knowledge jessei is not marizona or about to say is good at Jessie Ai No I’m not GNA guess I don’t think it’s it I don’t think that’s it you wouldn’t have given us that hint so early Jesse Aji wouldn’t have finished fifth at Michigan that’s that’s a good point kale Gil this random driver was station in the Solomon Islands during World War II okay all right wow Jessie Aji okay we’re way I mean we’re way way storm Normandy boys well speaking of other Wars here this random driver was also staunchly a guest and pro against and protested against the Vietnam War what just trust me it don’t make sense as it goes this random driver began their race ing career at the age of 37 oh my God who is what what was happening it’s not Marty Robbins is it is that your guess that’s not a bad guess I’m gonna go ahead and make the guess it’s Marty Robbins you’re in with that it’s guess too I’m gonna go for it you’re right wow what you got it that’s a great you said it and the moment you said I’m like he’s right there’s that’s a when he asked him the second time are you sure I was like you got it yeah I asked that before though on people too and when they’re wrong but yeah wow good old west Western Marty Robins well I was like who who would be a hippie I’m like it’s got to be the country singer right like that’s the only one that makes sense that’s a good man I’m jealous of Michigan H God I think it was like 73 or 72 somewhere in there um oh the chat’s going crazy holy crap what was the year he uh he was Talladega where he like cheated his car up to so so he did that in 72 he he he took the uh spacer plate out of his car and then willingly pulled his car in to Pit Road admitted it to the officials and when Big Bill France confronted him on it he said quote I just wanted to see what it was like to run up front I love that I didn’t he say it was like it was worth it to see the look on you know Pearson’s face or whoever it was well Donny Allison had said in an interview that he had two goals in his career one was to Beat Bobby Allison at the Nashville Fairgrounds and the other was to say he passed Richard Petty I love that I’m trying to say there’s some other funny ones um he actually saved Richard childis in uh a race at Charlotte he was going to hit him at 160 miles an hour on the door side because his car was stalled so Marty Robins steered the car down the track and hit the inside concrete wall at 160 miles an hour that that was a good one man I’m jealous you got that one so quick David because that was I can’t I mean was just what I I mean so weird that’s weird he was also the pace car driver at the 60th Indianapolis 500 oh no no no I almost 1976 no kidding yep I actually didn’t know that you you hit me with I knew who Marty Robbins was I didn’t know he D the drove the pace car so wow there you go there you go let’s see I’m trying to see if there’s some other good ones um he won Rookie of the race in the 1971 Southern 500 he actually he was supposed to win rookie of the race at that Talladega race but he’s like yeah I cheated um let’s see I’m seeing if there’s any other because I tried to keep it vague at least like you know he actually he died less than a month after his last Cup race and so I didn’t know that the next race at the fairgrounds in 1983 it was the Marty Robbins 420 they named the race oh hell yeah he is totally a hippie then yeah oh yeah so good good job on D yeah I love I love how the guests this year have like been on a majority of the shows but are like I I I need to see the standings I’m pretty sure it’s like the lead yeah now I think literally it’s a tie I Danny Danny me and the guests are all have four correct answers but the guests have been on a few less shows so the guests probably own the tiebreaker and uh I I I got one I stumped him see I’m I’ve have already conceded defeat on this like I’m not going to stump everyone every week so the fact I got one already makes me happy yeah cuz you come up with like 40 Clues we’re going to get it well except for that one guy we’re almost always going to get it after four like 30 Clues but who who did I I stumped you on Chad chapen yeah I did not that was at the time man uh so that was fun all right nice and now the main course of the night let’s get into the Indie 500 Coke 600 preview I would say Monaco but I don’t think even our audience really wants us to talk about that sten’s going to win I don’t know Lando giving it to him or giving him a run for his money couple weeks in a row you never know don’t the oh sorry my bad yeah I okay I’m G to say this right now like a couple years ago I I tried with F1 like I appreciate it for what it is but my God the Kyle Larson thing has made me so freaking annoyed by F1 fans who like have obviously only started watching racing since Drive to survive started and it it’s the fans that are turning me off of it hold it in jar hang in there hang in there when if I ever held it in this the whole point of the show is for me to blab it and you guys you’re you’re like my therapist I come on here and blab and you’re like it’s okay Rocky take your time why why did Danny wait until an hour and a half knocking at the door and I was tired of hearing him knock I was wondering why you turned the lights on after you know because people on so I just said turn them on yeah everyone in the beginning of the show was like some mov Lighting in Danny’s office I like that okay all right let’s uh let’s go in really quick a lot of weekend notes here first off if you haven’t heard Kyle Larson is going to be attempting the double no way what I know I’m serious it’s it’s happening hopefully what car is he driving I don’t know there has been much I don’t know um does he the money in the bank is he gonna bring the Money in the Bank briefcase to driver introductions is he just gonna knock out uh Stingray Rob and take this ride imag imagine cashing in Chase Elliott in the bank with five to go and 9500 he’s going to throw the red flag himself and jump in one of the Pensky Cs and win it and steering his back on course here um real quick uh just because this is pertinent to the uh if it’s run all unscheduled time to the double uh it is rumored that the former president Donald Trump could be at the 600 uh and Bob pacus reported this he reported it right that uh there could be a no I love that David’s looking down doesn’t see I’m doing the same damn thing well yeah you gota look down when you’re doing it because like and okay anyway um even former presidents do get a no fly zone due to Secret Service who’s with every president um and that could impact how quickly Kyle Larson gets the track it’s something to watch out for uh we will go no further in than that because you come to the show to have fun um now talking about the race itself there’s some other drivers other than Kyle arson in this race like Shane Van gisbergen in the col League 16 and Jimmy Johnson is in the 84 so that should be good the 600 also is the first uh nextg race that’s not a Daytona 500 of the full 40 car field and a third straight sellout for this race as well because it probably will be up there with Kansas for race of the year uh and lower series Kyle Bush will be in the number 33 Xfinity car Chase Elliott will be in the number 17 Xfinity car for Hendrick uh and Brett Moffett will be back in the one this weekend so just for everyone to know for picks and different stuff like that uh let’s start with the truck race and move up through the weekend from there the truck race I believe I did not change the uh the name on it so I can’t well hold on I have it right here will be the North Carolina Education Lottery 200 uh it will be 134 laps 30374 is the stages 8:30 p.m. start time Eastern time uh it will be on eps1 the Fox Sports app MRN and Sirius XM radio uh the forecast at the moment is 86 with evening thunderstorms 35% chance of those Ben rhs your defending winner on that uh the Xfinity race is the BET MGM 300 200 laps 4545 110 starting at noon Central so there you go David uh and then that one will be on big fox with the driv only broadcast uh and wait a minute can they please put Adam Alexander for the truck race since Jamie little won’t be in town oh please please I beg Monitor and still do it ah uh but yeah this race will be on big fox and PRN 87 partly cloudy only a 24% chance of rain Justin Aly your defending winner uh the Sunday races we’ll skip right over Monaco because I’ll be sleeping through it the indie car race is the 1008 running of the Indie 500 correct David um I believe so there’s a possibility they will run on the road course but it’s hard to know at this time well if they’re on the oval it’ll be 200 laps um is it 12:45 Eastern Time start time or is that just what they had on the website that should be the start time it kind of varies based on the year sometimes it it starts as late as 1:30 sometimes it’s 12:45 it’s it’s just kind of dependent on TV and when NBC goes on the air and uh you’re not Bob but does the track have lights and do we have rain tires uh no and no uh however somehow impsa is going to get away with running a race at night so I don’t I don’t know how that’s going to happen but they have headlights they do they do they do have headlights in fact they’re a Peterbilt for dang sake uh this will be on big NBC and peacock uh as well as the the IMs radio network right not not any specific because I know that NASCAR that’s like the one race that’s not on MRN or PRN and Joseph New Garden is the defending winner uh I think I’ve said every time you’ve been on the show I actually ran into to him at the airport when I went to fly up to Minnesota for the Jets Vikings game in 2022 yeah I was just I he uh Joseph narden to the front to the desk and I’m like huh there he goes he’s just full legal name and everything wow um ladies and gentlemen we have a celebrity come here now the is there a Joseph New Garden celebrating a special birthday I think he was flying to England if I’m not mistaken oh uh the forecast unfortunately 76° with thunderstorms 90% chance of raining according to the National Weather Service and later in the day which might actually be before the nd500 if that comes true is the Coca-Cola 600 400 laps 100 100 100 100 is the stages 6 eastern time is the start time on big fox and PRN and that one is uh 87 degrees very and again I I have to stress very because it’s very isolated thunderstorms 30% chance of rain with the chances going down through the night Ryan blay your defending winner of that and with that before we go into our picks we need to show our pick points the chat still leads by seven over me Eric and Danny are lagging a little bit Eric’s down 27 Dan down 29 well I I’ll I’ll bring this in right now uh David as our guest you get to pick first we all have separate picks you’re basically like a cup guy coming to the xinity series you you don’t score points but you can take him away from us for positioning um and the max points by the way for Danny and Eric we can make up this week is 48 points because of the Indie 500 counting just as much as the 600 this is the biggest points week for our picks all year so we’re going to start with the truck race David who wins the truck race uh well I I’ll be honest I pulled up an entry list right before while you were saying that because I’m like oh crap I don’t know who’s in the truck race uh I am GNA go with because the pre this is totally this is not an educated pick um from the perspective of I think this guy’s good at Charlotte but I’m picking this based on the fact that the presenting sponsor of the Indianapolis 500 is gamebridge and therefore Nick Sanchez will win at Charlotte in the truck series that’s not a bad bad pick the Spire rev trucks have been pretty good at mile and a halfs this year Danny you get to pick ahead of me this week this is this is unusual I do and uh it it’s a huge weekend for this sponsor with what’s happening but hope potentially on Sunday but it’s gonna start off with a bang when Raja Karu gets hendrickcars.com a win to start off the weekend he did win Las Vegas oh that’s bold I’m actually surprised some someone went there I almost did that he was my second choice so I had Raja as my fourth choice I had Sanchez as my three but my top two are still on the board I’m so sorry chat give me Corey yep I knew go there it’s boring but God gosh he just he’s so he’s always there well I I don’t know if this guy was your second pick Eric but he is for me I’m gonna go echus for my pick no I had a weird second pick I’ll admit it nope because honey not that not quite that weird I don’t know man he was pretty good in that last race uh the mile and a half yeah there okay can’t do ekas so who you gonna go with chat I’m seeing some 98s some majes who Eric’s second pick was uh they’re not picking it it was Brett Moffett I think they’re picking maesi pick was actually Tyler anram actually now some of them are starting to I don’t know I’ve seen a lot of 98s guys yeah it’s 98 give him a jesi no I said my second pick was T Oh I thought you said theirs was I didn’t hear you right I was like I was saying mine was a weird one too okay yeah I had I had honey cut as uh my third on the list but my others got taken or I took them um all right David going to exfinity who do you got win in that one lot of cup guys on the list okay so I guess I I I know who I’m gonna pick but I’m assuming this is a Kyle Bush race yes he is in there okay are we is it William Byron or who’s is the hendri running Chase Elliot Ty Gibbs was a late ad to the ENT really yes really oh God okay well oh oh and Gregson in the 30 it’s like Rhett Jones or I don’t know who they’re affiliated with but gregson’s in it as well I’m gonna stick with my first choice and I promise I’m not picking the lowest number in each of the of the series but I think it’s going to be Cole kuster okay Pi respectable all right Danny I had originally had K cus was my number one until I took another look and realized that Kyle bus is in this race and I am G to go of Kyle Bush um because they may not be the best in cup man they build some lightning ships in that Infinity Series yeah I thought about going Kyle bus because RCR has probably been the best allaround team in xinity you put Kyle Bush in one of those rocket ships and uh he’s going to soar um but k Bush went winless in all four of his Xfinity starts last season this is his first Xfinity start of 2024 so I will go with a more proven driver Ty Gibbs he’ll drive the 20 they scratched Al roll at the last minute damn it man yeah all right well I’m going to go with the guy I think who’s been most consistent at mile and a halfs who has been the most consistent at Charlotte even with cup guys in the field I’m going to go with the seven of all guy I will give the chat Chase Elliott who it looks like yeah they pivoted quickly yeah see this the thing I don’t know why they started spamming it when when you when you pick last you might as well just like wait to see how the dice roll yeah you could spam someone early on but they’re gone by the time it’s your turn all right David who’s gonna suck in the 600 by the way we can pick the same people for suck pick and Dark Horse on that we can pick or can’t we can pick the same people so who’s gonna suck in the 600 Jimmy Johnson I know you’re going there I hate to do that my boy my boy Jimmy was so good to me when he’s in an into car but man it’s been tough It’s be a clean sweep I’m gonna go oh I’m sorry Danny yeah my mistake he may have won his first race in this one the 2017 was a long time ago Austin Dylan will suck at this one yeah that’s who I was going to go with as well as Austin Dylan he was in the mix here last year right wasn’t he charging on a late restart or was that the year before um yeah I’m going Austin Dyan Jimmy just hang it up buddy uh in the chat come back to Indie Car was he improving at all oh yeah yeah yeah I I thought his last race at Laguna sea was really good from a road course racing perspective being like a 45y old man and you know places like Iowa and Texas he was like a race winning Contender so I I right yeah I bet he would be great at Nashville if I had like a if I could somehow just put him in the Nashville finale in a gassie car I would love that that would be awesome I think that’s exactly the track You’ be good at is chat is chat saying the 50 is that himim this week no uh I some new team isn’t it Ty Dylan that’s gonna be in it yes that’s why they’re picking it they’re just picking it so that that Need for Speed doesn’t make them pick Tai Dylan yeah just give him tie Dyan that’s fine all right who’s a dark horse this weekend for the 600 we do the Indie 500 for all this but I don’t think the chat wants us to do like eight to 10 picks for one segment that’s that’s all right um I go with Chris busher okay I will go Noah Gregson I’m sorry I keep cutting you off Danny because I keep I’m used to used to be after you anyways but it’s okay dog you know what it it’s a good track for him I’ll say Bowman on this one for Underdog this driver has uh finished in the top 10 in the last two Koch 600s uh he’s LED laps as well I’m going to go Ricky Stenhouse Jr chat is going with all over the place I don’t think you can count Bubba as a a Darkhorse seeing how he’s run top five at most of the uh mile and a halfs and in the 600 lot of T and 17s which I think we both I mean buba only has two wins I would still count him as an underdog personally yeah I guess he has seven wins yeah I got if we give let’s just give him Bubba yeah it’s all over the place holy saw some brisos but yeah it didn’t matter they’re not going to pick any of these guys to win so speaking of uh picking to win hopefully this race uh is before the 600 David putting on a spot who’s gonna win at Indie so what’s funny is I’m actually not going to pick my pick I want to save that but I’m gonna try to take points away from you guys because I have a suspicion who you know oh don’t do it I have a suspicion who you guys are gonna pick no I’m not picking Larson don’t don’t worry someone can get that don’t um I’m gonna look I’m going to look at that row five I think I mentioned on Eric’s show and you know what no I’m not I thought about it for a second I almost I almost picked I’m gonna go with Rossy okay go with Rossy Danny is next that’s not my actual pick by the way stay tuned for my actual pick this this is my actual pick my number one Hometown hero back toback years for Joseph New Garden Oh first time since 01 and 02 that’s happened yeah yeah that was that was going to be my pick shoot I I feel David when I talked to you earlier today you convinced me that Pensky is the safest bet um with how difficult it’s likely going to be to work through the field and I’m trying to think of new Gard was a good pick mclin’s on the pole do I want to go with will power will power hasn’t want to race in like two years right yes but he’s been close enough to where I would feel pretty conf picking him if I were you I think he’ll finish top five at least get me some some points I’ll go willp power he’s got a cool name damn it that was my number one pick he’s got the will power to get it done that’s a solid pick I think I think Will’s one of the top three guys that can win this for sure for sure damn it well I did look at a stat at least racing reference wise at six of the last seven winners started in the top eight and the top eight is all Chevys so I should probably at that side of it too Chevy will win the Brickyard in the n500 as I said see I’m more confident when it comes to um I’m more confident when it comes to the Indie 500 than winning than the Brickyard like I I genuinely am I want I got to pull up the starting grid one more time because I’m literally I’m I’m going from that top top [Music] eight man screw you Eric you should have picked somebody else you should pick Lon I’m not gonna I’m letting you do it have the have some fun a man I I I’m I’m hedging my bets I need to hedge it on on two different ones here um I’m I’m also keeping track of who picked who I mean hasn’t Santino fuchi always finished in the top 10 David never never in his Indie 500 career has he finished outside of the top 10 it’s one of the most unbelievable stats thus far I mean he he is due uh he doesn’t like his race car as much as he likes his qualifying car but hopefully they get that out there on Friday and he can work on it but uh but Santino always figures out a way to be at the front whether he has a good car or bad car so it would not be a terrible pick I’ll roll with him I for me I’m just I’m just not wanting to finish last out of everybody I just need to be consistent on this pick the last couple years I’ve went out on a limb and it seemed good until like 50 to go every damn time I think the chat might be going mlin or there a fair amount of 17 fair amount of Larson I’m P I’m seeing a lot of Threes though yeah I would just say three 26 or 17 go chat you got three choices I wouldn’t even say a 26 I’m saying just three and 17 mainly all right poll going up now what should we uh limit limit the votes to should we say till it gets to 200 I would just literally go 10 9 876 and just click it but if it’s like super it might not even be close let’s see I know who I’m voting for try to sabotage the chat oh my God it’s close I mean it’s not like super close but it’s close yeah spener brings up a good point what if Larson doesn’t race because of rain that would be a huge blow to your point lead well you’re you’re voting for Tony Canan at that point or Nolan seagull we we our thing is if you can’t race at zero points on the we as we’ve established Jared’s rules are extraordinary so you’re not picking the car you’re pi the driver the driver oof that’s that’s rough and it’s close I mean last week I picked Al marola for a truck r that he wasn’t even in got chat there’s definitely a guarantee that the the driver of the three car is going to be the same driver there’s a chance it’s the the driver you’re voting for ain’t gonna be in the 17 but that Larson storyline man that’d be a real good one if they got it right David who is the backup do you know that uh we don’t know yet which is that’s what’s been so interesting in fact it’s since I kind of talked about Tony Canan on Eric’s Channel I guess so there are two drivers that are eligible right now to do the Indie 500 or three drivers to do the Indie 500 without doing an additional rookie test they’re Nolan seagull who failed to qualify a Benjamin Peterson who ran the last Indie Car oval race and Devon d Franchesco who ran the last Indie Car oval race Tony Canan would have to do a refresher test but as long as far unless I haven’t looked at Twitter in the last couple of hours that hasn’t been scheduled for tomorrow so it would have to be either tomorrow Friday or Saturday for him to get out on the racetrack Run 10 laps to prove that he hasn’t somehow forgotten how to drive an indie car in the last 365 days um but there are at least three drivers who are eligible who could step in if need be with Kyle Larson and Nolan seagull would potentially be the the front runner seeing as he’s been on the racetrack this month and also has some ties to McLaren owner Zack Brown he’s driven for him in sports cars with the United Autosports so if it’s not Tony Canan it’s probably going to be Nolan seagull should be Kevin Harvick for the second straight week replacing you know what Kevin Harvick and the n500 absolutely let’s make that happen let’s get him in a rookie test start him at the back let’s go let’s freaking go they they went three it was starting to go towards good choice Chad yeah you scarice into making the right call probably like people people want to see it no one has enough confidence to say Larson can win and now the last pick of the night who’s going to win the Coca-Cola six 00 you know what because he won’t be tired out from Indie because it will get rained out Kyle lson that was my number two so I will go with my number one Denny Hamlin oh my top two I get to go with my number two Tyler reck that’s my number three well I’m going to go with somebody who has shown shown a lot of pace at mile and a half has gotten better at them as the year went on and I think he needs a little bit of redemption I’ll go Mr popular Chase Elliott not bad not bad chat definitely looks like it’s leaning towards blay no I’m saying a lot of 17 f for Chris bu oh a bunch of 17s did just come in it’s probably between 12 and 17 it’s a few 24s coming in now it’s mainly 12 and 17 I those two some person some people are voting for three different car you can’t somebody voted for Jimmy I love it delusion to hell of a drug there’s gonna be a 30 it’s turned it’s definitely Chris busher now I don’t I don’t it’s almost overwhelming with busher but we’ll damn I picked him for my Dark Horse what am I doing wrong well I mean how close has he been these last few weeks he was a what what was he away again one 1,000th of a second from winning Kansas so so so let me get this right chat you’re going with the man who flipped here a couple years ago and totally had Co the week after did not get concussed to miss that next race I think we get on the poll here 69% that is overwhelming this last year he did his teammate just won wilksboro so I don’t know yeah but who wants to pick Joey I never fought I’d see a day where Chris busher overwhelmingly defeats Blain in a confidence test here that’s yeah well let’s get into the final Super Chat stage break of the night and finish this baby off I don’t want to keep us all up all night uh so let’s just roll on into that no timer on this one uh all right I got that one here Hunter nickon fishing for the five I like Kyle Bush but his arrogance and never do anything wrong attitude is frustrating at times o and the one time he’s about to admit he was wrong he gets punched in the face yeah last time he ever does that guki for the 10 not Kyle’s fault that Ricky overcorrected also watch the video and you’ll see the 47 crew members all waiting almost in a circle like they knew it was going to happen I hate sheep shots I don’t disagree with the Stenhouse over correcting I mean Bush still spun him out on purpose he that was an overreaction but Sten house wrecked worse than I think Bush thought he would uh Marky Mark for the five Kyle Bush’s face when he punched Ricky senior was almost as red as your shirt Eric that was that I I I want some like I need to get a good picture an even better one than the thumbnail of uh Stenhouse punching Bush and just like edit it to look like the uh that one panta cover of one of their albums um let’s see up where’ It Go they reset on me sorry uh Jacob thank you for the five on that one Austin thank you for the five saying David uh anytime we’ve seen someone comp uh complete the double it’s a cup guy trying it in your opinion what Indie cart guy would you like to see in the Koch 600 well um so I don’t know if it would be like I’ll get to like in a second but Marco andred on a video posted today an interview with James hinchcliff said he wanted to do it next year so let’s see if Marco andred does it next year that’d be kind of cool uh in terms of want I’d love to see Scott Dixon Do It um I think Scott mclaughin is probably the most well equipped but you I I would just love to see the best Indie Car Driver of this generation jump at a stock car and see what he can do he’s never done it he’s expressed interest in the past uh chip gassie has a relationship with uh with Justin marks that would be solid equipment you could do a project 91 then I get a Scott Dixon uh NASCAR diecast number 91 so I think we all win so yeah and maybe Conor could do it Connor Dy would be another one who could who could do it he’s got cup experience so there’s some guys who could do it I think it would be a lot of fun um and I would love to see it flow both both ways however a lot of Indie Car Guys that the problem I think that Indie Car guys have is that the Indie 500 is the bar nun biggest race for indie car drivers they don’t want to split their attention away the Koch 600’s like third or fourth on the NASCAR scale that would be like asking a NASCAR driver to do another race after the Daytona 500 it’s a little bit bit more of an ask I think it’s a good that’s a good comparison that’s a good point ant do for the five David what’s the possibility that Pensky dominates and loses it whether self-inflicted or just straight up loses it on Pace well I can say this only 21 times in the history of the Indianapolis 500 has the poll sitter won the race more often than not in fact to the tune of over 80% the indd 500 has been won by someone who is not in the fastest car in the field so so you have to look at you know recent history and yes the top eight spots has kind of dominated the the conversation of who can win and who cannot um but also the best laid plans also fall the hardest right so even if team Pensky doesn’t let a lot of the outside noise creep in and kind of affect whether or not they can control this race we’ve seen in the past Alex poow dominated this race last year got taken out in the pits by Rus VK Scott Dixon was speeding in the pits the year before uh Scott Dixon had a tire failure one year I mean there’s just so many different things I could just name a hundred different ways Scott Dixon’s lost the race in the last few years but the the the point is the fastest cars don’t always win it’s it’s a combination of the best pit crew the best team and the best driver on that day and sprinkle in a little bit of luck so you know while we’re we’re fearing a Pensky domination and it certainly could happen and it certainly has happened in the past I wouldn’t to I wouldn’t not watch the race because you’re expecting a Pensky car to win I think there’s a lot of cars can win the race but it is going to take a little bit of luck and a little bit of bad luck for team Pensky to lose it uh real quick another one here from shorty pjm for the five hyper obsessing over the Ricky Kyle fight uh and rookie Larson he put and she puts thumbs down focusing on lano’s domination and Pensky front row Sweep with a a green check mark and happy so there’s there’s some who are are just wanting to focus on Pensky dominating there are still some big Pensky fans out there so they’re I love the fact that Pensky dominated the weekend and nobody’s talking about it in any in either I mean they straight up dominated if you look at it just like off raw numbers and nobody said a damn word about it because of a fight in Kyle Larson that is like got to be that honestly after some of the uh controversy over on the Indie Car Side that might be for the best that’s like best case scenario no one’s talking about you and you’re winning everything right no pressure they’re going to win on they’re going to win like sweep both races how nobody saw this happening it’s like well kind of was obvious uh Blake for the two uh David what’s your favorite Indie paint Scheme ever oh I think I might know the answer well I certainly so I I obviously the Buddy lazir purple car right like I love that one but in terms of like an actual like paint Scheme or as we we call them in in funny car land Livery um I love the target lightning bolt scheme it’s just I mean so simple it’s a red car with a yellow uh a yellow lightning bolt on it with a black stroke but it just looks so awesome just love it one of the greatest paint schemes ever as far as I’m concerned uh let’s see Silas for the four-month member chat can’t wait to be at Indie this Sunday I again I hope it’s Sunday for you and everybody who’s there as much as I want go to that race I hope it’s wrong well we can all be there it just doesn’t mean we’re going to be there to watch a race I I still as much as much as as much as I want to be there I I I I hope I hope for your guys’ sake it runs full 500 Miles uninterrupted uh Fred dog left a couple here uh for five saying if the double double drivers had separate Indie races who would win as a good Lars got to type a little slower I think Fred dog uh as good as Larson has looked this year I think I would still choose Stuart oh okay um I don’t know man Kyle Larson is like a once in a generation talent I mean I as much as I love Stuart and I think he’s on that plane but it man I would love to see what kind of car driving I I think I think Indie Car are we taking a prime Tony Stewart and a prime Kyle yeah oh that’ be the race for freaking it would be an amazing race if they’re driving Indie Cars I think I’d go Stewart he’s got more experience well but but I think it’s also like let me let me double check on this what type of Indie Cars are we racing the modern ones or older ones that’s true that’s true too yeah so yeah would be a separate race than Indianapolis that’s a that’s a you know what one one second I’m gonna put a poll up I’m GNA put it’s a three-way tie I’m just gonna put who would win Prime Kyle arson and Prime Tony Stewart and leave that up for the rest of the stream for the chat that’s a great question because Tony Stewart is like he I mean he think people really forget how damn good Tony Stewart is like he’s he’s winning or he’s not winning in yet but like he’s racing drag racing right now he just does everything it’s crazy m I mean that I mean it’s really freaking difficult like I want to say Larson but the same time I remember Tony Stewart’s Prime too you you should have thrown AJ FY into that to really get it have but I mean dean clears both she’s the uh she’s the indor intiman let’s go to the next one for Fred dog here for the five what was your favorite favorite meme of the photo where Kyle Bush sees Stenhouse standing by the trailer mine mine was uh your mother waiting for you after curfew I I love that image I haven’t seen too many like specific memes made out of it but that image is just but strong God I mean I saw one that said your mother after you failed after she saw your failed report card I was like I I’ve had I had a concussed semester once where I could relate to that um they’re pretty good though uh Elite biscuits for the five as a massive Tony fan this whole shr stuff is devastating I love Noah and Larsson but no Stewart influence in NASCAR would be tough to swallow that is a part that I think is going to be overed a bit about it yeah it it’s not rooting for it it’s just it would be sad it’d be a colossal failure on their end and it would be disappointing for a lot of fans uh aada thank you for the 50 damn um I think this one’s aimed at you Eric it says Eric Carl left in 2017 after NASCAR screwed him Edwards was on his way to his first title until NASCAR called a phantom debris caution with 16 to go I don’t blame him for leaving and not risking his health anymore why was that aimed at me I think it was when we were talking about I think you had said that he uh oh I said yeah well I said Edwards I would I would probably wait one more year if they’re trying to say yeah they’re saying oh I don’t blame Edwards for leaving this sport I don’t blame him for retiring either I’m just saying he retired and then disappeared he’s like I think the I think that’s also you said something about the Championships to or something like yeah well he didn’t he doesn’t technically have a championship there’s a lot of drivers who’ve been you know screwed out of a champion Mark Martin You could argue Dale Jr had that fine for cursing like there have been other drivers that you know you could argue got screwed out of a championship Carl Edwards is a Hall of Famer I’m just not sure I would have put him in over Harry Gant that’s all uh Gavin here for the five here’s a bold prediction the 2024 Cup champion has not a race yet this year is a bold prediction but I I do like bold predictions um Austin blandet for the two says David how close were we to seeing Jeff Gordon run in the nd500 um well you know he’s admitted it I was actually at IRP when he did an interview and kind of talked about how in in the 80s all the stories you hear about him being shopped around kind of at the height of the Thursday night Thunder races there where the The Midgets and Sprints were know nationally televised and they would go to Indie Car teams and they would say well how much money are you bringing and that was a big fumble um Jeff there was a couple other opportunities where Jeff Gordon almost got an indie car ride although it wouldn’t have ironically led to him in the Indie 500 in about 1997 1998 uh Team cool green in the cart series he was on a short list which included Tony Stewart and Robbie Gordon for them to just throw a boatload of money at somebody to try to get get them into cart which would eventually move to the bar Formula 1 team to get an American driver in there it didn’t happen obviously but yeah I I wish Jeff Gordon would have done the Indie 500 I’m glad he gets to live vicariously through Kyle Larson for sure um but yeah I I don’t think we were ever super duper close to Jeff Gordon running the 500 but it’s definitely something I really feel like was fumbled that it never happened he looked like a dad being proud of his kid recording him on his quity I know I know I love that um Jan Nascar fan with the two here says more vague predictions tonight than the NASCAR rule book that’s pretty good um let’s see uh will Griffin for the 10 says questions for David mult there’s multiple here um I I guess maybe just answer one as we’re I’ll go quick I’ll go quick I’ll trust me I’ll go quick I heard wtr is rumored to go back to Cadillac and impsa next year have you heard anything do you think andred Global will go to Chevy 2 they’re uh they are working with Cadillac and F1 I think there’s a possibility although not like a high possibility right now that they could go to Chevy and indie car I think the the chance of them going to Chevy and indie car would be uh if Honda leaves uh from everything I have heard and at least right now I understand yes Wayne Taylor with andreti would be going to Cadillac in impsa we should really just do like a separate lightning round uh uh Super Chat segment at some point where people leave 12 different questions and we just go from there um will Griffin for another 10 here will Pensky and Pocono ever find a way back to Indie Car uh well yeah ever find a way to get indie car back to the track I should say I’ve read that wrong uh it can work with the needed upgrades to the wall and fence they could do a road course start if they were worried about turn two um they need to raise the wall in turn two strengthen the fences um and and I would love to see Indie Cars back at Pocono but they do need to make some safety upgrades the other thing that I think they need to do is go to an Indianapolis style start with uh rows of three evenly spread out um they did that and then they switched to a two row start that looked very Road Coury and it caused a lot of the problems the cars were too bunched up on the start so yes I would like to see them go back to Pocono no I don’t think it’s on the cards anytime soon uh whoer films for the five when is mtj not winning talk going to start I think we talked about it a bit throughout the season also Super Bowls Colts 2 Vikings zero Texans zero Titan zero so shocker I I didn’t know my team technically one of those was a Baltimore Super Bowl I don’t know if we count that but sure yeah you still got one that you still went to a couple of pton yeah that’s right I was thinking about the one they won I can’t try to forget the one that they didn’t uh Nas Carson left to here for five David I’ll be at the Indie 500 this weekend what time do you recommend fans get to the track if there’s nice weather for the 500 I typically say like you should be in line at 6:00 am and then says anyone going to the 2024 600 or Indie 500 I went in 2014 to the 600 and won’t again I’ve gone to every Indie 500 in person since 2011 except that year and 2020 I mean I might be going if it’s if it’s rained out um Ross crash stain for the six-month member check give me Jimmy or give me death 84 in the 84 death may come sooner and you might live a long happy and healthy life let’s hope so uh Nappa racing fan for the two Indie card of fox and ba to NBC likely and Diffy to cup I mean that seems pretty likely in all fronts 5050 5050 the uh now the I would say so from what I understand again this is what I understand uh fox has offered more money NBC has offered more Network races I’d go with the network races at this point just for the exposure so that’s what it’s coming down to it’s up to Roger to make the decision yeah oh that not be the best to make a decision then based on recent ones you said that not me I’m on the NASCAR side though so I can’t I think I have the Liberty to say a little bit of it I will not put you in that spot tonight I don’t know what you’re talking about what are you talking everything’s great everything’s negativity out okay everything’s great uh Hunter nickon fishing for the 10 prime John West Townley would smoke both Larsson and Stewart absolutely Bobby Blair for the 10 hey David I know you were a huge buddy lazir fan but who was your favorite driver throughout the late 2000s and early 2010s did you have one or is that when you became more neutral love your content I did um so I mean I became neutral when I really started to cover the racing um now I say this with the caveat that I cover a lot of these guys now and they are participating in the Indie 500 two of the three so um there is no bias towards these guys certainly not especially um but I should I I’ll tell you I don’t care um I was a Graham Ray Hall fan then Ryan Hunter Ray and then Simon pno so it was really cool like when I started covering the racing that Simon pno walked up to me in a media thing and went you’re the best I love your stuff you ask the best questions I’m like I used to have your face on a shirt dude but it was that yeah it’s cool man it was neat that’s awesome man I I love that like all of us probably have a story where we came up to somebody or or like had an awesome experience with somebody we used to root for like for the three of us I had to say I think of this show for this show in particular it’s probably when we had Mark Martin on and we’re all just sitting there like keep talking forever Mark that was a great oh dude I I still get Star Struck when I talk to guys like Scott Dixon will power they still scare the hell out of me I’m I sit there and I’m like well when me and Danny interviewed Jimmy Johnson back in uh 2020 my grandpa I was in his garage uh at the time because it had the best internet best Aesthetics everything like that and he had a camera up and I was in the middle of New England yeah that’s right and so we did the interview and me and Danny finished it up and Jimmy left and we was like yeah we did it we got it done right cuz like we didn’t want to screw it up you know it taken forever it was right before uh the Texas Race was supposed to run that ended up on a Wednesday that week didn’t his PR person also try to come in like Midway through yeah yeah um but my grandpa caught the whole thing of like us being like yes we got it done like we were just happy to get it done right because like there’s so many snags and little things because of the Texas stuff so that that was awesome uh last good times two super chats here first from Nappa 927 I’m going to say that from now on cuz it’s a little shorter for two David’s thoughts oh wait there’s three Jesus Christ guys there’s a lot uh so you’re welcome for all this money guys appreciate it well he wants to know your thoughts on the inseason tournament for Prime and TNT with NASCAR next year so I I haven’t looked into it as much as I wish I I would have I’m a little bit busy this month as you might understand I I saw the initial post and I kind of scratched my head and I said huh because I knew Denny Hamlin had kind of made the the the that put the idea out there um I mean it it is so looking at it from from my perspective as a snotty elitist purist I go oh they’re stealing the the idea from basketball um but I guess it makes sense because Amazon and Turner Sports want to make a little bit of a difference you know they want to Hype up their own kind of Championship um I I’m I’m curious to see how it plays out I think it’s going to end up with a lot of uh things in the similar vein to what we saw with Ricky Stenhouse and Kyle Bush which is there’s going to be a lot of people mad at each other because they’re going to be racing each other for a spot in the inseason tournament for 30th and Wrecking each other and so I I think there there’s certainly I think the TV company’s goingon to get what they want out of it um I’m a little bit concerned that eventually NASCAR is going to kind of evolve to having a TV championship for each of their Partners so I think you got to be careful about that but um I don’t know I mean I have an open mind I mean especially TNT does such a good job with their NBA coverage that I’m actually really excited to see what they bring to the Nascar Cup Series and especially with Dale Jr helping them out I think it’s G to be big I’m gonna bring something up this couldn’t come up naturally without somebody asking about it but now it’s here I don’t know if you guys saw it but Dale Jr is actually pushing for the winner of the inseason tournament to be given extra points and a first round Buy in the playoffs yeah I don’t like I’m not no that’s Dale Jr saying that dale dale buddy what are you doing man come on man I’m I’m I’m on that train of the come on man train uh come on man I it’s a fun idea don’t jump the shark uh GT rain for the two said pack it up David yeah Chris Chris is in my house he’s said so you’re welcome for that [Laughter] $2 man they’re paying Jarrett rent not even not you David this is back how backwards this I know what is going well he did so Chris did get this wheel for me so that’s that’s that was his payment for it’s worth a little more than $2 I guess I know if if I’m up there Monday or Tuesday I’ll I’ll buy you a soda with it how about that oh okay but I appreciate that I it’ll end up back to you probably like soda too much actually I’m right there with you so don’t don’t worry uh uh Andrew for 13mon member chat uh this one’s definitely for you David says uh when will Dan welden’s kids make it to Indie uh very soon um Sebastian is already in Formula 4 so realistically If he if he goes to every rung of the road to Indie and doesn’t skip any uh parts of the ladder we’re looking at four to five years that realistically he could be in in indie car um they’ve got the backing of the Guggenheim which are the kind of the financial uh arm behind andred they own like gainbridge and Delaware life and a lot of those things and they support the Welden so if the Welden kids want to be an indie car they will be eventually one way or the other for sure uh and then the last one is from Austin here for two says love you guys love you too buddy good to see in the chat and we’re gonna end the poll right now in a shocking maybe upset Prime Kyle arson wins at 51% to 49 on Stewart wow see I voted for Stuart as a protest vote that AJ wasn’t on there because I would have voted for AJ I probably should I probably should have I was just putting it after the Super Chat last one from Austin here says last one I promise but David does Alo come H does he get a top five or get five get get his fifth win I think he I think there is a possibility he’s got a lot of the guys from his crew his race winning crew in 2021 he’s got a brand new chassis there’s a lot of things working in Elio’s favor he’s starting a little further back than I would want him to uh on my tier list today that I put out I put him in the the top 10 so I think he’s got a good car I think I mean obviously ELO knows how to win the race right it’s an uphill battle but not an impossible battle well David uh I appreciate you coming on tonight we’ll get we’ll get through this last little bit here and uh roll out and then we can give a little like Midwestern goodbye after the show fellow fellow midwesterner here um former midwesterner um but I mean I’m pretty sure based on the chat’s reception they know but where can people find you in particular this weekend at Indianapolis I know your channel I have it linked in the description where can they find you at the track if they’re going to the 500 oh well so at the track I mean Here There and Everywhere uh I try to when people say hi to to shake their hand ask for their name say what’s up you know because there you know I wouldn’t be there if it wasn’t for the folks who watch my stuff I mean a genuinely mean that and um you know it’s it’s I don’t think there’s necessarily a designated Meetup spot I mean it’s so you know it’s so interesting because a lot of people ask me to do that and I I probably should like organize something like Bob pacis or some of the other guys do um but a lot of times like you know I I thankfully have some other guys helping me out this this month but um the rest of the year it’s mostly a oneman show most of the time so it’s kind of hard to like schedule and find a time to do it so I mean I don’t have anything specific but if you see me say hi I mean I love I love meeting everybody and uh and uh it’s always great to meet uh supporters and viewers because like like you guys all know uh we wouldn’t be where we are we wouldn’t be on this podcast if there weren’t people that are willing to watch our content support us and and and talk about us I mean I I’ll tell you this is the I guess this is the last thing if you’ve checked me out on Twitter recently I I went downtown to eat and there was a building downtown Speedway that was running our starting grid video on a loop and it’s like it was surreal it’s like on two big screens and it’s just surreal that that’s happening I mean they didn’t ask like they they just put up no it’s it’s cool like that’s they will get a cease and desist in the mail no no no no that’s a no no that’s a free bilding me money by playing my video over and over I cannot allow it that is a free billboard in downtown Speedway the weekend of the 500 I wouldn’t send them a cease and desist for any reason whatsoever uh no it’s F but that’s the kind of stuff and that that wouldn’t happen if there weren’t viewers so I mean it’s awesome so I mean I don’t there’s not a specific Meetup but if you see me say hi that’s what I’ll say awesome well David we appreciate you being on and remind everyone watching right now uh next week we’ll be on Danny B’s Channel Wednesday May 29th at 800m Eastern time and I mean hopefully the Indie 500 has run Sunday or at the latest Monday I I I want hell you guys could have me on Wednesday again just to do a post race from the indie car from the IMs Media Center at this point I mean stay after the show I might have something that that’ll peek your interest on that one real quick okay okay um there’s about to be a riot in my house so hurry up and

Stenhouse got IcyHot 🧊 🔥 with Busch.
Win Picks:
Indy 500: Scott Dixon
Truck Race: Taylor Gray
Xfinity Race: Chandler Smith
Cup Race: Ty Gibbs
1:18:03 no offense to Austin Hill and I'm not an Austin Hill hater like i dont mind the guy, but I think Gragson is a better option to put in the #3 than Austin Hill. Like most of Austins career wins in Xfinity have come at Superspeedways than other tracks. Like he runs well at other tracks but he doesn't win nearly as often on a 1.5-mile track, short track, or Road courses as he does at Superspeedways. Grayson on the other hand has won at each layout and had like 8 wins in Xfinity in 2022 and he is doing pretty decently at SHR might even be their best driver right now and SHR is on a similar level as RCR right now. So I think Gragson would be their best option to put in the 3 car.
Swear Jar alert!
A Wednesday Indy 500!!!??? Oh my!
Oh Boy, Eric dropped F Word, not the nice F Word, my friend.
Boy I didn't know something about Marty Robbins, I knew he raced in NASCAR 35 times but I had no idea he was against the Vietnam war, and yes David got it, I would not have gotten the Random Driver Of the Week Segment right this week, Boy David was pretty good this week, I enjoy his Indy 500 history segments on his channel. And I cannot wait when he appears on NWP again before the Brickyard 400.
I am glad Ricky Rudd is finally in the NASCAR Hall Of Fame for next years class, and that Tide Ride was one of the first cars I had for years, I got the 1.64, and the 1.24 car.
Atleast that was the 7.. Xfinity car….. not the 10 Cup car. T’is merely a scratch 😝😜🤪🤪🤪😜😝😝😂😅😅😂🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡
Jaret this way by far the best random driver segment lol
What happened to Darrien
Please don’t push the race back, years past we’ve been in the parking lot line until 1 AM, no need to make things more dangerous/delirious for drivers
WHERES THE MARTY ROBBINS GUY?!?!
Lmao that’s hilarious, I was just curious how easy it’d be to be in the gutter, and it appears my comment worked 😭
