S1: Episode 2 - 'I WANNA HEAR SOMETHING LOUD', Dega Recap and D...D... Dover!

Speaker 1 00:00:03 Welcome to Ray's Rowdy Racing with Caleb Conrady and Dawson Edwards. Speaker 2 00:00:14 What up y'all? It's Dawson Edwards here again with the brand new episode of Ray's Rowdy Racing, episode number two with my co-host Caleb Kahn. Ready over here. And the king degenerate Nicky T. Yeah. Nicky t We're in the most incredible, uh, Tony Stewart shirt I've ever seen right now. It's great. Uh, so this is what we had. Tala fucking Dega. Woo. Awesome week. Yeah, great weekend of racing. But before we get into all that, we're gonna talk about, um, what we did this week wrote some songs, was on the road with Mr. Tr and the, uh, trick Crew. Heck yeah. We're gonna start calling us. We Trick crew. Caleb's mom had a great idea of like a pit crew, but we're the trick crew. Yeah. Oh, I love it. So, I mean, I feel like that works pretty well. And she made me laugh too. Speaker 2 00:00:57 She was like, you should get matching t-shirts and everybody should wear 'em and they should just say trick crew across the back. And I just looked at her and I said, mom, that is a phenomenal name. Terrible idea though. Cannot do the matching. I'm not trying to wear matching sweat or t-shirts with everybody in the band, but do like the name the Trick crew. So, yeah. Yeah. The trick crew was in, uh, went to Tunica Mississippi this weekend and was supposed to go to Dallas, Texas and Gilley's. Mm-hmm. Place but didn't make it to Gilley's. Nah, man. I was looking forward to that too. Cause so was, I spent my whole life in north Texas. I've been to Fort Worth tons of times. Billy Bobs still haven't worked. Billy Bob's want to do it, but Gilley's is another one that's just super world famous. Yeah. Speaker 2 00:01:35 Dallas venue, man. It was, it was a little heartbreaking, but yes. I think it was like a fuel pump issue on the crew bus. Yeah. We get back, I get outta the shower, come back down and you'd actually text me, but I didn't see my phone. And the, the old bus just going, just trying. It's damnest to turn over and it just wouldn't do it. So wait, can you make that noise one more time for us? <laugh>, you know, so something like that. So we just sit on the bus, we sat there, it's us in the band till about two 30 in the morning. And me and Caleb were like, in my mind I said, I was like, I am either going to, we're gonna wake up in Nashville or I'm gonna wake up in Dallas. I'll set my alarm for about nine 30 and be ready for both. Speaker 2 00:02:15 I'll wake up at about seven 30 and we ain't move one inch. We're stuck sitting in Mississippi just stuck watching the Gold Strike logo on the top of this casino hotel. Just make its little glitter thing and we're just not moving. I mean, I think it was like 30 minutes after we woke up, we started going then and we hit it straight back. And then once we woke up and we were still there, I was like in like Dallas, like an eight hour drive or something. I was like, no way. We're making it this show. So just didn't make it quite to Dallas, but we got to come back for the race, which was pretty dope. Yeah. I was here for it. The Bush race, you have to watch the whole Infinity Race. Yeah. And we'll get into it here in a minute. But it was a pretty damn good race. Speaker 2 00:02:50 I enjoyed the heck out of it. So I've, I'm on one hand heartbroken we missed out on a day of work. Uh, but then again, music industry, you kinda get used to that. That's what I, if there the big jobs, if there was a weekend to miss a little bit of work do Dega was a okay weekend to I know, to do that. Could have totally made it to the race. Could have. We were like absolutely could have. We were like four hours and something from Dega. Cause I looked it up before I went to bed. I actually posted. So on Twitter, I was like, if I start walking right now, I could probably be there by Sunday morning. And it was definitely true. I mean, it was, it was just a straight shot over pretty much. Yeah. It was, it would've been great. We, uh, so normally, uh, casino shows are like kind of early cuz I mean, I feel like the casino, they want to get the people back into the casino, you know, spending money. Speaker 2 00:03:30 We didn't play till uh, nine o'clock on, uh, is that Friday night? Yeah, Friday night didn't play till nine, which is like pretty late for a casino show. Normally no joke. They're like 7, 7 38, somewhere in that area. Mm-hmm. <affirmative> and Travis's shows were two hours. Just like, that's his normal, if he's headlining, it's a two hour show. We didn't start till nine o'clock and we could tell the difference in the crowd from that. Uh, seven o'clock start till the nine o'clock start. We had some hit, some rowdy folks <laugh> man in, in this casino Saturday, uh, Friday night. It was great. I've never seen Travis go off script the way he did. Somebody, I think they yelled something to the effect of like, let me come up there and sing background vocals for you, Travis <laugh>. And he said, oh, you could sing back up. Speaker 2 00:04:14 You could sing way back up there in the rafters, man. Like yeah, it was, it was great. I've never heard him. The last time I heard him interact with somebody talking was whenever we were in Texas at an acoustic show. And so it's just deathly quiet in there. Anyway, somebody starts yelling something and he'll respond to 'em and stuff like that. But typically full band, he's got his ears in. Yeah. Crowd's so damn loud. They, he can't hear what any individual's saying unless they're right there in the front. But he heard that guy loud, clear. Yeah. We had, uh, so Travis does anymore and uh, found out this like a couple weekends ago. The reason the chair is brought out for anymore, so lemme preface this. I roll, part of my job is rolling a chair out to Travis for, to play anymore in Yeah. Speaker 2 00:04:56 He played a, a couple of acoustic songs. Yeah, a giant chair. Looks like he's like driving a 18 wheeler truck. And so I roll, it's got wheels on it and everything has its own case. So I roll that out there and he sits down and plays anymore, whatever. So I actually found out though, from Wendell this past weekend. They do that because of the, he was in the wheelchairs and the video, you know, it kind of has the same vibe, you know, whatever. They just kind of all fits. So I was like, okay, that's pretty cool. Anyway, we go out there and we do that stage manager comes out, sets the microphone up. So it's like pretty quiet. It's really quiet in that moment. That's when Travis turns around, talks onto the talk back, Hey, this is great. Need a little more this louder, you know, whatever, you know, whatever. Speaker 2 00:05:36 So he is just sitting there talking. It's, it's completely quiet and you just hear, I wanna hear something loud. And then everybody busts out laughing, <laugh>. And then we're also sitting there and this guy goes, uh, in, in my, this is my interpretation of everybody that heard it hears something else, but you get the guys like, I wanna hear something loud. Which is why I said that on the, the Instagram page. That was what that was for. Still quiet and goes, Hey Travis, I got three words for you. And I swear to God, I think he says, fuck my lie <laugh>. And I, and I'm like, oh God. And I'm looking back cause I'm looking back at the band waiting on Travis. He gives me his drink, I put it in the cup holder of the chair, the 18 wheeler chair thing. And we just sitting there like, holy shit, this is incredible, dude. Speaker 2 00:06:21 And, and it gets even better because I'm sitting there thinking, you know what, this is great content for the Razor Roddy page, but we gotta, we gotta post up some stuff about our normal job too so people kind of can see what our lives look like. Yeah. So I was thinking, you know what mom's idea that the trick crew and our um, our tour manager Scott at one point when they, they do the chair together and y'all are both just huge guys. So he gets out there and he talks about it one time and he said, man, like a fat NASCAR pit crew just getting or done changing the chair out. I always thought that was funny. So I was gonna just take a video of them putting this chair out, everything involved with it just so we could post it. And in the middle of me filming that, we caught it on video them saying, I wanna hear something loud, <laugh> hear and I hate Travis. Speaker 2 00:07:08 And I hear it while I'm filming. And I'm just, what in the world was that? Yeah. What in the hell did that guy just say? And then it dawns on me. I just got that on, on video. I have this video now. So if you want to see that, you can go to my, my personal Yeah, we got it all page I posted up there. You can tell us what you think they say. I don't know. It's so hard to hear it. I thought he said fuck my wife. Which is what I thought. We sent it in no hits. And which is we were like, that's even weirder that he said fuck my wife. You know, it's like, okay, whatever. What a, what a crazy casino y'all were at. Oh yeah. They were rowdy as hell falling over. People were falling down like, you know, dude in the front row, he's like playing the drums. Speaker 2 00:07:50 Y'all had the guy that was like swaying. He's like looking at him, you know, just, you know, got the drunk. Oh yeah. Stumbler going on. He got the look, he had the look bad and just red in the face. And of course there's this set of like six stairs. Normally there's no stairs to get up to a stage from the crowd. But at this venue for some reason there is a giant staircase and they're like taped off so you can see 'em real well. Oh yeah. It's perfect for somebody just to run to the stage. Yeah. Somebody took off running. I mean we better be paying attention cuz they had perfect access. Yeah. Directly to Travis. So we're just sitting watching. We actually, we actually have had people get on stage a few times in the year and a half. Me and Caleb have been out there. Speaker 2 00:08:27 It it happens. It's wild. Yep. Tackled a few. Yep. Try to be nice Still <laugh>. You're trespassing though. See you later. What that one girl, I'm being calm. I'm being calm. It's like I don't care if you're being calm, you're on a fucking stage. Get out. You, you're getting kicked out. I had the one woman that I kicked out in Fort Worth and she's like, I'm sorry, I'm just my, my daughter's done a whole lot of dances, dance recitals on this same stage. So it just feels like home to me. And I was like, well I don't care. I, it doesn't matter to me cuz we're renting the space right now. We're renting your home. I'm gonna need you to leave. Yeah. But it's, you try to be nice to him. But it happens. You're gonna have that. You get, you get a bunch of liquored up folks listening to Travis Trt and people get rowdy. Speaker 2 00:09:06 They do. Magic happens. They do. Uh, well anyway, uh, that's kind of how our week went, uh, our weekend. I guess we try to stay as busy as possible and it always just piles up. But yeah, like we said, we got to watch, uh, t fucking Dega this weekend. Got to watch both races start to finish. It's a rarity that we get to do that. So we'd start off talk a little bit about that. Uh, old Bush race. Yeah, the great, the Bush race. The greatest race. Just the Bush race. Big Bush guy. Bush. Bush. Big Bush guy. <laugh>. But yeah, I mean we saw one of the most incredible Xfinity races at Talladega I've seen personally in forever. Forever. It looked old school as hell. He had everything. I mean yeah. Massive for the lead pass. Yeah. Massive Rex in and out of each line. Speaker 2 00:09:57 People just switching lines like crazy, making wild blocks and moves that just three wild worked the whole time. Yeah. It's a really, really cool race to watch it. It reminded me of like a mid two thousands early two thousands cup race. Hell yeah. Oh yeah. And it was, it was a ton of fun. I mean we did see death defying stunts in the middle of it too. I mean, Blaine Perkins some nasty wrecks. Yeah. Saturday and Sunday. But yes, some nasty wrecks. Absolutely. And man, thank goodness they, they've been posting some updates about him. I saw. Like he was, I think he's good to go as of this morning. Like yeah, they were like evaluating him at a local hospital. Yeah. Around. But they said he was alert, good mood and everything. So good deal for him. I mean, watching the wreck is one thing, but knowing the repercussions of it's a whole nother Yes. Speaker 2 00:10:41 And he definitely went through a tough one. Yes. He uh, the other guy, can't think of the dude's name. He's in that blue, like 96 maybe the Buffalo Wild Wings on the hood. Tony Stewart hits the wall, just driver's side where the, the wall angles out, uh, where the um, safety people come out. You know, that's like angles out so they can get through there faster. Just nails that and ricochets off and it looked brutal. But he got out after the interview and was like, it actually looked a lot worse than it was. So that was good to hear. Yeah. And then the uh, Dexter Stacy Dexter stayed that's, that was the other guy. Okay. And not somebody I'm super familiar with, but yeah, I don't, he he was this guy wearing the penny series the pin. Yeah. He had the pint Pin, pin, whatever. Speaker 2 00:11:22 Yeah. I don't know what it's called. I'm trying to over pronunciate it. Yeah. Looks like I'm smart. But <laugh>, he had that was that guy. Yeah. Yeah. And man, good for him too, for walking away from that cuz I mean that's, it's an unavoidable thing. We're the walls of the inside or we're the inside wall. They have to let AMR safety crews out on the track so they gotta have somewhere to go and you can't have it closed off because if somebody's really in danger, you need them in there as fast as possible. So it's like how do you, you can't really fix the issue. But those little spots where the wall kind of jets jets out just a little bit. That just makes her, I mean you've seen it happen at multiple tracks. Remember I think it was Brad Klowski hit the inside wall at the Roal one year or at Charlotte or something. Speaker 2 00:11:59 And real, it just always looks so scary and violent. Yeah. And he definitely had that exact same thing go down and Yeah. Just wild. So all that to say, even though we're gonna call these big giant wrecks a super old school thing, I mean it's not without a little degree of care. Like we get it, it's a super dangerous thing, but there's a lot of people that tune in for NASCAR just to see the Rex and the violent crazy shit that goes down. And that was just a, it was a definite good example of what people tune in to watch. That's, that's what it takes to get a casual fan to turn into a long time. One, there you go. I wrote down in the notes like, there's a reason Talladega is sold out every week, every not week weekend. And they race there. There's, there's a reason and it's because the crazy shit that happens, like let's just be honest. Speaker 2 00:12:48 Yeah. It's part of it chaos. Yeah. And that's just like, there's some reason why some tracks don't have nobody in the stands, it's cuz they don't really have stuff like that. Yeah. But it's always gonna happen at Dega. It's not if it's when, so yeah, I don't know. It's part of Nas NASCAR in my opinion. It really is Big Rex. It's just gonna happen. I'm glad no one gets hurt because the safety's so big now, but just is what it is. Yeah. I mean you'd get in the car every week and you have to, you have to know you're signing up for some crazy stuff. And I think these guys know that and that's why we look up to these dudes cuz they're going out there and defying death every time they step in these cars. And it's never more evident than it is at Talladega. Speaker 2 00:13:24 Yeah. And it's super, it's always fun to watch and you cannot peel your eyes away from the screen at any point because there's always a chance something's about to go down. It's like driving on I 65 out there. You just know eventually you're gonna see some crazy stuff go down right in front of you. Yeah. I mean that's like my, that's an attraction to me for like all sports. It's like, we talked about this on the bus coming home last week. We talking about people that think they could like these dumb arguments people have about the NFL and like, you know, could the average Joe get one yard in the nfl? It's like, no, you are gonna get hit and you're gonna be broken in half cuz you're an average Joe getting hit by a monster. It's like you wanna watch someone on tv, do something that you can't do. Speaker 2 00:14:02 Like that's the, that's the draw to like professional sports in my opinion. Agreed. And like seeing a dude get in a race car and go 200 miles an hour and inch off somebody else, I'm like, yeah, I can't do that. Oh yeah. I mean's I don't, I don't wanna flip going down the back stretch at Talladega over and over and over again. So it's like Yeah. Props to you dude. You absolutely, you're a badass. You're more badass than me for sure. Yeah. I mean you've got some of these people that are just like, oh, nascar just a bunch of left turns and this and that. And I guarantee you the same person that says NASCAR's, a bunch of left turns and it's boring won't get on a rollercoaster <laugh>. Like it's, that's the thing. It's like you can't go out there and do what these guys do. Speaker 2 00:14:36 Imagine driving into a turn with a guy right in front of you, right behind you and one on each side and they're all trying to pass you and they're trying to be better than you. And you're doing this at 190 miles an hour. Yeah. For that's so crazy. For how many laps was 180? A hundred eighty eight, a hundred eighty eight, a hundred and eighty eight laps of that. I mean, that's mentally and physically exhausting. Anybody who doesn't think so, doesn't have a clue what they're talking about. Yeah. I just tell every time somebody tells me that, I'm like, all right, I'll invite you over to my house. I'll hook up NASCAR heat four, five and if you can make three laps without spending it out, I'll give, you know, like, here you go, I'll buy your beer for the night. Yeah. Like you're, you're just not they, everybody that says that they can't even get the car to go in a straight line. Speaker 2 00:15:16 So it's like you think you can do that in real life? Yeah. Get in outta here. It's 145 degrees in the cockpit in this car. You're wearing a full body fire suit and there's a good chance you're gonna need that fire suit. I mean, look at Jordan Anderson last year. Stuff happens on this racetrack. You wouldn't even be mentally or physically prepared for any of it. And Kayla's favorite part is the, uh, heart monitors at the guys. Oh man, dude, I could go on for years about how much I hate these heart monitors. I I even posted yesterday. I might as well just put a heart monitor on while I record this podcast. <laugh>. Well that's a, it does the same thing for me. I mean these guys are driving 180 miles an hour. I hope their heartbeat's up a little bit. <laugh> their heartbeat should match their speed. Speaker 2 00:15:55 <laugh>. Caleb, they've had some great analysis this other day that he's talked about. Yeah, I just don't see the need for this. Like you put a heart rate monitor on a guy in the N F L, you think it's gonna be high. Yeah, that's of course it's gonna be high <laugh> like good lord. It's the most useless, it's the most useless filler information that they've ever provided. And they talk about it 30 times a race. I'm so sick of hearing about this damn heart rate monitor. It doesn't affect me at all. But Caleb hates it. It's the tiniest little detail and I shouldn't be so dead set on nitpicking it but nascar what are we doing? I don't care man. I do not care. I care about everything else but that. But that's my, that's my two second rant. I'll go on it again at some point. Speaker 2 00:16:36 I'm sure I'm gonna bring it. They show it every week. So I mean it's a weekly thing you could talk about. Ugh, I'm just gonna bring it up every, I think my heart rate monitor would be beeping a little bit right now cause I'm kind of fired up. Oh yeah, definitely. It'd be, it'd be terrible but it'd be all right. I don't know. Mine's just high cuz I got high blood pressure. But <laugh>, it's just that, that beer man, it'll get you. It will, it will. I always get you in the end. Beer and nascar man. The two things that keep my blood pressure high on my bank account Low. Woo. That was a hell. Hell of a quote right there. Um, so y'all wanna talk about the cup race now? Yesterday's race? Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. So we Bush race was great. Yeah. I like Bush <laugh>. Speaker 2 00:17:12 I Hello Bush Warren. Bush <laugh> delicious. It's it's delicious. I like Bud Light and Bush both. Hell yeah. Hey what a like natural light. You gotta have your favorites man. Hey we love 'em all. We do love 'em all. Absolutely. So Cup race yesterday, the first, like if we broke this race up, I guess in the thirds, so the first two thirds were kind of lack luster two by two follow the leader. Not, not what Talladega is. Yeah. Like what Paxton stands in Dega. That was not it the first part of the race, but then that last third they got racy got three wide crazy people making crazy moves. That was like, you know, I, I love that. If the whole race could've been that way, there probably would've been nobody left. But still I thought the, I thought if you'd split it into thirds, a third of that race was incredible. Speaker 2 00:18:03 Two thirds not that hot. Yeah, I was actually saying the same thing. What we were watching it live, I kept turning to Dawson and saying, man, if this wasn't Talladega I wouldn't, I I would understand why someone would get bored watching this. I totally understand what's going on. I know you totally understand what's going on and why they're doing that. Yeah. Why they're being so conservative. Cuz they know they, they're driving a basically a what, a $500,000 machine around the tracker right now. Mm-hmm <affirmative>, we do something dumb in stage one. You're not gonna get points for stage one, two, or three and you're just basically junking a car for no reason. So on one hand I understand, I get it. It's the reason they went single file for all those years. Uh, nowadays it just happens to work out better to be double file. Speaker 2 00:18:45 But Denny Hamlin says it best. He said, we're just gonna get in line whatever spot we qualify in, we're just gonna find a spot in the two wide line and we're just gonna ride around like that for a while and just see what happens. And, and that's what happened. Yeah. I mean it, is it better than single file? I think so. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. At least way better than single file up against the wall like this. At least you've got a little bit of, you can see the energy in the lines. You can kind of talk about it, you can sugar pack it your way through explaining to your girlfriend what's going on. That's what I was doing yesterday cause she was asking a bunch of questions. But I mean, there's a reason I had the time to do all that and I could still know what was going on cuz nothing was going on. Speaker 2 00:19:18 Basically for the first two stages, I mean, right there at the end you see some big runs come from a couple guys that are trying, some stuff just happened to work their way to the front. Yeah. Saw a couple guys kind of switched lines from the lead. But I mean all in all, yeah. Kind of a boring first two stages. If it wasn't for Michael McDowell spinning out, we would've had a Mark Martin caution free race if it wasn't for stages. And Michael McDowell blowing a tire. Yeah, there wasn't, I don't what was the, there's there any other cautions at the beginning? Uh, no. I mean the first two stages just went. Yeah. I mean other than the two cars that spun out coming to Pit Road, which those are Oh, chase Briscoe. That was your, that was the other weird caution of him doing like slow motion burnouts. Speaker 2 00:19:57 Yeah. Let's talk about, let's talk about that for a second. This is my, were gonna bring this, this is my rant. What the hell are we doing? Well we got a car that blows the tire, can't go, can't move. Car blows a tire. The damn frame splitter, whatever you wanna call it is on the track. He comes down pit road. We had this problem a bunch at the beginning of last year. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, I don't really remember seeing it much though after the first part of the year. It happened a few times. Like Yeah. Other than infield grass situation. Yeah. Which, which could've happened. That's happened years. Like a car, you know, a race car with slicks on it. It's just hard to get going in the grass. Yeah, understandable. Yep. But these cars like blow a tire, the car sits on the ground, can't move. Speaker 2 00:20:39 What the fuck <laugh>? Yeah, I completely agree. <laugh>. So yesterday, first round of pit stops the 45, he gets to coming down pit road and I was saying like, dude, they are coming fast and he just, they just, he spins out, he hits the inside wall, hits the nose, hits the back, spins in front of his teammate and spins out in the grass. Didn't blow a tire to those. So he kept going. He actually ended up finishing like in the top 10. I think he did messed up stuff going on. But then the 14 have the uh, sorry about that little technical difficulty. Hit that with my foot <laugh>, you have the 14th, same exact thing flying down through there. He goes around everybody to miss him, but he starts spinning but he blows a tire. He doesn't hit anything but he blows a tire. Speaker 2 00:21:19 The car like, I guess it was his right front I think was blown. The back tires were fine, the car is stuck on the nose, can't go anywhere. Sue's just doing these like slow donuts and roasting the back tires off <laugh> and there's like, there's a donut mark. I mean there's just, you know, people posted pictures of it yesterday and even said in this interview like, I'm ready for the memes. Like I know it's like I, he's like, I was going so slow I could see people video and you know, on pit road like I know it's gonna be everywhere and even they know it's stupid but like, damn we got a race car and you can't go with a blown tire. It's just the most baffling thing to me. I can't wrap my mind around how stupid that is. Yep. You have one problem with this new modern cup car and you might as well just park it. Speaker 2 00:21:58 I, it just, you, you're just done. I mean you, you have a, you barely slapped the wall. They were supposed to be super tough and they're supposed to stand up to these hits. Now you're breaking tow links like they're just made outta candy canes. I mean, but then you get a situation, I I saw someone talk about this. It's like Tyler Reddick bounces the car off the wall Hard of shit. Yeah. Finishes ninth and, but it, no, he finished in 16th. I did look, I did wanted fact check us and he did finish in 16th. Either way though still he was running, he was running just fine. He was able to recover from and his nose was messed up car, but the car ran. But then you got guys that like, they touch each other. Boom. Totally sprunk. It's like, yeah. It's so confusing to me how that, how, you know, a dude can hit the wall heading on still go and then it's like you just hit him in the, just just the right way. Speaker 2 00:22:46 Yep. And it's, it's, it's like he just hit him with a damn sledgehammer and then sometimes you can actually hit him with a sledgehammer and they just shrug it off like nothing even happened. Yeah. It's weird sometimes like sometimes the hits like don't even like the car kind of like reforms itself in a way. Like mm-hmm <affirmative>, some of you guys hit the wall head on the hood doesn't even like it's been in a wreck, you know, go put that hood on another car, it looks like it'd be fine. But then yesterday Zane Smith car looks like you a bomb hit the nose. Yeah. It's so crazy to me. Every wreck looks different on these new cars in my opinion. They really do. And another thing we were gonna bring up is how those wrecks that hap Chase Briscoe's wreck, Tyler Reddick's wreck. And I believe, I can't say this with full certainty, but Michael McDowell's wreck could have all been prevented with a half hour of freaking practice. Speaker 2 00:23:31 This is Caleb's other rant he wanted to talk about. Yeah, I mean we're we, everybody has been talking about it. You had a whole bunch of people like Travis Pastrana and Co Daley at the Daytona 500 who have never, Taylor Smith have never jumped into these cars before. And we're expecting these rookies and these young guys and even some of these cut veterans who have been in it for forever. I mean we can't act like this car is old yet. It's only been through about 40 races. So they're still getting used to how this car handles what it can do. You put them out there on a, on a track to go out for a qualifying run. You got the whole track to slow down. So you don't really get an idea of what it's like to break under green to get onto pit road until you're in that situation. Speaker 2 00:24:11 And I believe with a little bit of practice, Tyler Reddick, I think he had to make like a last second move from the outside to get down there. So he was going too fast no matter what. Yeah, his was a bit more understandable. It was gonna happen regardless. Probably just should, should have stayed out. Just come in with a different group. But it is what it is. Yeah. But then you have Chase Briscoe doing the exact same thing. Michael McDowell's car, who knows if that, if that problem had happened under practice, he would've been able to fix it. I mean just shake 'em down, just run the car 30 minutes, shake 'em down. Exactly. Just get 'em out there. Just, just know what your car's gonna do. That's like asking football players to go out there and warm up without warming up and expect them not to get injured in some way. Speaker 2 00:24:48 I mean they, they haven't given their body a chance to ac acclimate to the new conditions that it's about to be under for the next hour and a half, two hours. Oh. I also think it's extremely dangerous. I don't know yesterday if there was anybody that's not been in a cup car. I, I don't, I don't think there wasn't think everybody's like, you know, been in a cup car. Yeah, I think so. The Daytona, we had multiple guys like you said that weren't in a cup car. How dangerous is it to go to a plate track for your first ever race and be an inch off of every guy around you? Like no one's gonna trust you. Everybody knows you don't know what's going on. You, you don't, you don't know what's going on. So like it's just dangerous as hell anyway. Yeah. Put 'em out there with no practice, I don't understand. Speaker 2 00:25:22 Definitely makes no sense. And they keep calling it this cost. We're trying to save the team's money and some team owners do agree with them. It does save the money. But those guys are usually the Tony Stewarts, the Joe Gibbs, the Penskes, the Hendrix, the big teams that have a ton of money, those guys don't want to go out there and waste their money. They have the best drivers, they have the best equipment. They know what they're bringing to the track. They have the best engineers building these cars so they know they're probably showing up with something good. These smaller teams that don't have as much money on one hand, is it saving them a little bit in fuel and tires? Yeah, but you know what cost a hell of a lot of money wrecking a race car in lap one because you didn't get a chance to notice that this might be wrong with the car and bring it deck down to the garage. Speaker 2 00:26:02 So now you've cost a small team, maybe you've saved them maybe upwards of 10 to 20 grand but you've cost them 500,000. I don't know. I I think every team would agree to do it because even listening to Denny, he's a team owner now. He's, he wants practice. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, he, he's a racer and a team owner. He wants practice like what really is a tank of gas and a set of tires. Like just let 'em go out there and shake it down for 30 minutes. Let these guys run in the draft a little bit. Come down pit road, do whatever. Like somebody posted yesterday when they had those two pit road wrecks, it was like, man, we used to have a session where guys could practice things like this <laugh>, it's like Yeah we used to, yeah. To not, not no mow it was an old happy hour man. Speaker 2 00:26:40 And the other, the other sets of practice. I, I mean they back in when I started watching they still had three rounds of practice at practice, which is, which is outrageous. Two happy hour. They don't need that much. Oh agree. They used to practice, they used to get the track on Thursday practice Thursday, Friday and then an hour on Saturday like plus qualifying. Like do I think they need all that? Hell no. But do they need like 30 minutes, you know? For sure every week, every track. Yeah. They need 30 minutes to run through this just to put that car through its faces a little bit. Yeah. Just like I said, shake the car down and not even, not even for the guys like you're talking about that are, they've been doing it for 20 years. Yeah. They don't need to practice but like literally just making sure the little things with the car are okay so that doesn't screw you during the race. Speaker 2 00:27:20 Yeah, that's what I, that's all I think. Yeah, we've even had situations where people have left stuff like, uh, shock stops in, uh, they get out on the track and they realize, oh crap, we never fully got this car unpacked from the hauler. And it's because of stuff like that, you don't get a chance to go out there and use it and all of a sudden here you are lap run what? Lap one realizing, oh crap, my shocks aren't even working right now cause I still got the damn stops in them. Like stuff like that. It's it, which granted that that stuff that can be avoided just by paying more attention, but practice would help eliminate a lot of these problems. If you wreck a car, drink, practice, man it sucks. Uh, there's nothing worse than wrecking a car drink practice. But I feel like if you've just given them a chance to get up to speed, long as they're careful, they're even doing practices where they split the field up in half. Speaker 2 00:28:06 So that way there's only what 20 cars at at one time that at least help. It's confusing. I don't even know. I mean at least helps clear up the track a little bit so you're not racing around God and everybody out there at the same time. But yeah, I love God and everybody same. Absolutely. We're very, we're very, uh, welcoming people in the room. So we were talking about, um, danger, Talladega being crazy. Let's talk about that Larson priest situation. Ooh, Larson's, uh, his roll bar, the top bar that like comes from the, on the passenger side. I learned last night the passenger and driver's side of these cars aren't built exactly the same. So I don't know the actually how different they are. I would assume there's probably some less roll bars, like the way this is like made, you know, on the passenger side but got hit so hard. Speaker 2 00:28:55 Um, we need everyone to go look up the Ryan Priest on board. It's all over Twitter everywhere. It's crazy. Priest is a guy who hits in passenger side door disassembles and breaks the whole entire welds come undone and everything. The bar is broken. He said the dash was all set apart and everything like the cockpit area just sounded completely destroyed. And he was like, thank God nothing hit me. If that had been a driver's side hit. I don't think Larson survives that. Uh, it's hard. Yeah. Hard to say. I I don't think a driver's side hit like that. He would, I don't think not any, I don't think anybody's surviving a driver's side hit like that. It was just brutal. I mean you're, you're, they were still coming up to speed, don't get us wrong. So they weren't even at full speed yet. And that's already what's come, what's gonna happen. Speaker 2 00:29:37 I mean yeah. If that, if that was driver's side, I don't think we would've come back from commercial on that one. That was yeah, that was brutal. That was scary. Was and then the onboard of priests, the guy, like I said, the guy that hit Larson brutal, like his, I I have it on my phone and you can zoom it down. It looks like his face hits the steering wheel, it throws his visor up. Like, I mean his head comes all the way from the back all the way to the steering wheel. I mean a lot of movement point harness to do all that. Too lot of movement. So, and you just see his, his eyes, I mean he just squints so hard and he just looks like he just got punched in the gut. Yeah. Larson's was the same way. Larson's eyes were like bloodshot red, like just, they looked like they say they're okay, but like, are they? Speaker 2 00:30:18 Hell I don't know. They yeah. Whatever crazy they say they are. Yeah, they say they are, but, but, and man hitting a car, they, I mean he's probably going 150, 160 miles an hour just dead stop. Just boom. Crazy. And it was, and you could watch the whole thing unfold. As soon as Larson hits that grass, you just see that car nose back up and all you can do is hold your breath and wait. Yeah. I said yesterday before we even saw any replays or nothing, I was like, dude, that Larson precinct made me look, it made me wanna throw up mm-hmm. <affirmative> and I didn't even know the severity of it at the time I said that. It just looked brutal. Yeah. And then like before they showed the incar onboard, they showed just the roof camera and I was like, who? Just the thud, the sound that it made was just like, it's like the air just went away and how quick it happened too. Speaker 2 00:31:01 I mean I don't even think Priest had a second to even think about letting, if he let off the throttle, it's, it's a miracle because he didn't even have enough time to think about this thing coming out. Yeah. It just clear track suddenly boom, there's a five right there just right out of his driver driver's windshield. I mean they boom, they played the uh, audio from the fives car radio and it was like, it got like scary quiet. Like somebody's like, damn it happens every race and it's just nobody says anything. Yeah. They're like, Nason doesn't make a noise. Nobody was like, Jesus is he all right? You know, like just weird eerie situation if it could have been the other way around. But he's, it's all good. So he is all good. I mean, kudos to Fox. I think they really learned a huge lesson back when there was the whole Ryan Newman incident. Speaker 2 00:31:46 Uh, I think they learned a big lesson there that it, it was a little weird cuz it was the end of the 500 checkered flag had already flown. You gotta kind of talk about your leader a little bit. Uh, but Dave started getting good about it. There's a scary luck record like that. It happened twice this weekend. One with the Blaine Perkins deal, one with the Larson deal. They cut to commercial pretty damn quick. Yeah. Check to make sure what they need to talk, if they give it three minutes to kind of gather up whatever information they can, as long as everybody's good, they'll come back and they'll just start talking about it like normal. But I will give 'em credit for not leaving somebody out there extremely injured or extremely in pain and leave 'em on TV the whole time and give 'em a little bit of a break. Speaker 2 00:32:22 So, yeah. You know what I mean? We get Fox a lot of hell on Twitter. We get that. Fox knows that Fox deserves a lot of hell first on a lot of things, but they are getting that right. They are. I do like that they are, uh, people complained about that though on Twitter. It's like, I don't know, I kind of like about everything. Make sure you like, you just make sure everybody's okay, you know, before Yeah. And then they, they did a great job. Like not showing there's no pictures, no video, no nothing of Newman Direct, which was like super scary. So Yeah, I agree. Good job Fox. Yeah, they're they're doing a good Yeah. Give 'em kudos. Good job. They get a win for today plus one point. Plus one point. Okay. Do y'all want to do, let's see here, let's talk about, uh, the side by side commercial with old, uh, winter Kyle Bush in the bubbles. Speaker 2 00:33:03 Oh, oh yeah. Uh, I mean I, we could do a little talking in leading up to this. Okay. Too. Uh, so everybody knows from last week. I'm a huge Ryan Blaney fan. Yeah, I am. I got heartbroken in 188 frames last night. Uh, we saw it come all the way down to the end. Great post you made, what was that from the pick the pictures Oh yeah. Of being watching and then just what happens when your driver doesn't win by that much? I mean we are coming up to the last restart. Um, second overtime. Everybody's about damn near outta gas. Kyle bus runs outta gas before he even does his burnout. So we were cutting it close. I knew that this was probably the one chance Blaney had to win this race. Starts it out on the front row gets going and Bubba Wallace ends up taking a lead, coming around to one to go. Speaker 2 00:33:49 We get the white flag. Bubba and Blaney are kind of doing their own little thing and Ryan's got a great run on Bubba tries to make a move down to the inside Bubba blocks. It goes all the way down and over the yellow line, which it's gonna happen. It's, it's a heat of the moment. I hate the yellow line rules so I say do whatever the hell you want to. Um, NASCAR does not agree. Uh, no they don't. And I don't agree with NASCAR and I'm just gonna have my own opinion. But finally get back up onto the track. All of a sudden Blaney ends up taking and spinning Bubba out. Not intentionally by any means just triple, triple block, triple getting, triple blocked. Eventually there's there's gonna be one that doesn't work. Yeah. And all of a sudden outta nowhere Kyle Bus missed Bubba Wallace by so close and if Bubba had just come down one second sooner or one sec, I don't know which would be better, it would've gotten him too. Speaker 2 00:34:40 But he somehow manages to take the lead right as the caution flies boom freeze frame. Kyle Busch Winter Race, Ryan Blaney finishes in second or race I genuinely thought he had in the bag that whole last overtime. But that's why we love nascar. Can't get it. It is so hard to win these races. And he has got what, 56, uh, winless streak. 56. 51 56 Race and Winless Streak. It's a tough to be a Blaney fan. It is man. It is tough life out there. But you know what, if you ain't with him at the bottom, you ain't with him at the top. So I'm sticking with it. It's still fun to watch. But yes, all this stuff happens and we're getting around to what Dawson was talking about with Bubba Wallace during Kyle Bus's Victory Lane interview whenever he is doing his burnouts and getting his speech. Speaker 2 00:35:23 So Bush wins, uh, with a brand new sponsor. McLaren Custom Grill. Shout out to them. Hell yeah. Uh, they got congratulations got so many hits on their website last night from Bush winning that their website crashed, which kudos and NASCAR fans they support. Hell yeah. The brands that, you know, people that their driver, you know, gets wins, you know, whatever. They just slap 'em up right here. Yeah. Just right behind their heads and did and just in the crashed website. So kudos to NASCAR fans for that. But so they pay all this money, you know, their driver just won the race, but we're going side by side, which I only ever recall if there's like a fight or it's gotta be something outrageous to go side or somebody legitimate or usually it's that driver that won, pushed that other guy outta the way or something. Speaker 2 00:36:08 Kyle Bus was totally innocent. Yeah. He just kind of luck bird dogged his way into this thing and then they start showing Bubba like throwing his Hans device on the ground and like, you know, just doing Bubba Wallace things that he does. But then he gets out after the, after they do his interview and he's like almost LA like, not even like mad, like not even la like not having any issue with it. He even joked was like, got dumped by the 12. Like no, just kidding. I pulled a, you know, triple block and got screwed up. But I'm just saying if I was McLaren grills I'd be so damn mad that they went side by side while my driver just won the first race in the, in the car. Yeah. I'll just be pissed. And Kyle's second win with the eight car, I mean it's Talladega, you know he is pumped up. Speaker 2 00:36:49 He hasn't won a plate track in 15. How many? 15 years? 15 years since oh eight. Yeah. Dang. That's sweet. So he fi Yeah he finally gets this damn wind he's been trying to get for so, so long. I'm pretty sure he hates plate race. He oh he, he's very vocal about not liking him, but I no talent takes no talent racer if you haven't won in 15 years, I guess I'd be mad about going back to that track too. But I mean I I'm so with you on that. It, it just didn't really make any, there was nothing going on in Bub Wallace's world that was worth giving. Yeah, he was, I want to by himself like, like I said, I can recall like if somebody was like in an altercation with somebody else like them cutting away or something. I don't have like an exact example if it's even ever happened, but he was literally just by himself like throwing shit on the ground. Speaker 2 00:37:32 Yeah. And I feel, I feel for the guy he would've led more laps than anyone else other than Blaney I believe. Um, and I don't know. He did, he did have a, Bubba Wallace had a great race. He's a, he's a plate race. He's, he's always at the front of plate tracks. Yeah. And I mean he was the car to beat. Doesn't mean he always wins though. No. And nobody ever will be able to do that other outside of Dale Earnhardt, there's nobody you can really count on to come out and win a and Austin Hill apparently Draft Kings thinks he's the plate king who plus 300 was plus 300 to win this race, which is just stupid. Dang. Did y'all bet on this one? We did, we did. Oh yeah did we definitely threw some bets down. Win lose or draw. Ah, technically a tie. Speaker 2 00:38:07 Caleb won more money. We both won two bets. A piece. Yes. Caleb won more money than me. Mine were two parlays. His was one Parlay and a and a head. I had can't remember it was a five. Yeah I had a uh, I had two parlays that hit pretty good. Uh, Briscoe over Truex, Ricky over Bubba, which is funny enough the exact same parlay that Dawson placed totally independently. We did not, we didn't talk about collaborate on that one at all. Placed the exact same parlay both of us hit it. Uh, my other one was Suarez beaten Amarillo and Haley beating Austin Hill and which is a great one. It was, it. That one just kind of worked out. We just gave Austin Hill all this credit. He does phenomenal in his 21 car in the Xfinity series. Of course he got up into the 62 and he's not a full-time cup guy. Speaker 2 00:38:46 Yeah. Just throwing that out there. He drives for beer racing for Beard Motorsport. It Yeah, it is what it is. Yeah. He's gonna come out there and get them a great result for who they are. Can't really expect 'em to win. And I know Justin Haley's pretty good at plate tracks too. Yeah. Working for colleagues. I was like, ah, I think CO's gonna do probably better than Beard Motorsports. Beard might even lose the draft <laugh>. Yeah, Caleb, Caleb asked me, he is like, can this car even like keep up with the draft? And I was like, yeah, I think so. Yeah, but I don't think he's gonna be, you know, just kicking ass and taking names. Yeah. But I think he keep up with the draft and then he ended up getting lapped so I was just dead wrong. Like yeah, I should have put the same bet down but I didn't butt, I I will say, I mean first two stages, there was not a single person that fell off the lead lap other than Michael McDowell for blowing that tire. Speaker 2 00:39:25 It was uh, it was the strangest thing. Nobody was losing the draft. Everybody was up there. 22 sped on Pit road. Not Denny. Hamlin. Not Denny. Denny didn't speed but Logano speed. But Logano did. He pulled some just, you could call it stupid or you can call it ballsy. He's get, he's coming around to get laughed and he just like, most of the time lap cars play tracks, you know, they get outta the way, get in third lane. He just says, screw y'all, I'm staying right here. I'm literally racing the 14 car, 14 cars a lap down too because of his stupid pit road deal. My car is sitting on the ground, can't move. So they have racing for the lucky dog. Lucky dog is uh, gets your lap back. First car in the lead lap. Gets the lap back. So he is racing that one guy. Speaker 2 00:40:07 He literally says screw it stays in the middle of the track. Everybody splits him four wide. Was it Cric or Blaney? Somebody hooks up with him in the back and it ends up working out for him. Yeah. Cindrich, his teammate happens to catch him as he is coming down. And I'd be scared to death, dude, if I'm crick crazy and I'm flying at 192 and this car's going 1 78. They, they set him a thing. It was like, it was like that big of a difference. Yeah, he's like one 70 something and they were in the one 90. It's like hitting somebody at speed. But if you were at standstill hitting him at like 15, 20 miles an hour, that's that's a big hit. I mean there's no way around it. Two cars hitting it, even at that slow speed is gonna cause damage at a dead standstill. Speaker 2 00:40:45 Do that 190 miles an hour now. It worked out though. So it did kudos them too. And he just happened to be right in the right position when he caught 'em. I think they were like, they could show the nose camera from Chase Briscoe's car and look at the 22 right in front of him and they ended up getting to the end of the stage and yeah, Joey guts his lap back and I can't even remember what he ended up finishing, but it was something. All right. Briscoe ended up finishing better than he did. I think Briscoe's in the top five as well. Uh oh yeah, I think there was another wreck that happened later on that says running. He got, he's the one that went off the, he hit the back of uh, Zain Smith when the three got loose, whatever that deal was. Speaker 2 00:41:18 Yeah that was, uh, Logano was in that as well. It was a whole lot of beers ago. Yes. So, um, this week's hack of the week, hack of the week. Yeah, the hack of the week. This is my favorite segment. <laugh> again, we're gonna get a, uh, I we're gonna get something. I don't know what, but something for the hack of the week. We really should and we're really gonna get these guys to sign it. Like when we go to a race like hack of the week, we're gonna get 'em to do this. But this week's hack of the week, we didn't really talk about this wreck from the Xfinity series because we wanted, or I wanted to bring it up in this point here. Mr. Daniel Hemrick. Nah, this week's hack of the week, he is in the um, coming to what, less than five to go. Speaker 2 00:41:59 I'd say it was close, it was the end of the race. He's on the outside of the track and I mean all the way to the wall outside the two cars. Sheldon Creed all the way at the bottom yellow line. This man goes from the very top, just the most aggressive move comes down and hits the two car, clips him. I don't know if he thought the two car was gonna let off. I don't know who would let off with two to go at Dega. Yeah. Clips him the most, almost his hellacious, if not more hellacious than the O two blame Perkins wreck. Dave Flip. They get him up in the fence. He's upside down. There's he's on top of cars. He doesn't flip back over about damn near the catch fence. Yeah, that's what I mean. Like he got up like that high like outta the fence and I was like, I hated that that happened and I made a post about on Twitter about this. Speaker 2 00:42:42 I hated that happened. But like what did he expect? Yeah. Coming like throwing the shittiest block I've ever seen way up there by himself too. I mean he's guy he was, yeah, he was way up there. He was, there was nobody coming up behind him to push. And I'm like, I get it. You don't wanna lose the lead. You wanna do everything that you can to stay there. But I know his spotter was screaming as hard as he could. Like I think he's there cuz the spotter is admittedly at a bad angle there looking at that turn because they're coming kind of four, they're coming straight at you. It's hard to Jay, it's hard to gauge. So that was all on he Rick just making a call. He cleared himself. Yeah. That's what they call that is whenever the spotter normally would tell you, Hey, you're clear you can come down in front of that car. Speaker 2 00:43:23 They, you're not gonna hit him. He cleared himself and decided to make this bold, brash move but did not work out. Yeah. You're coming from the top of turn four down to the bottom, you got gravity momentum and a whole bunch of dumb assery on your side when you make a move like that and a whole bunch of not letting off the gas cuz we're coming to two to go at Dega. You know what I mean? Absolutely. And so he ends up, I mean there was so many cars wrecked in that I didn't even know who was left to race The last two Riley Herbst a hell of a hit. I think he hit the 11 in that. Yeah. Some brutal hits. Like I said, the 11 gets turned upside down. I hate that, but yeah. Damn. You know it's a bad day when they go to the interviews coming outta the infield care center and they don't even have to cut the camera, they can just have 'em in a line. Speaker 2 00:44:04 Yeah. They were just coming out. Just file 'em through man. As they walk out, Hey, we got this guy, we got this guy i's like, man, that was an expensive wreck. Yeah. But half of the week, Daniel Hemrick. So we got Har Carson last week. Hemrick this week. Hey, you know what, it's not an award you want, it's an or it's a, but it is an award you earn. We should also the hard way we're also like gonna on our, uh, get everybody to sign it. Like try to drink a beer <laugh>. Yeah. Like we wanna drink, we wanna drink a beer with a hack of the week. Yeah, absolutely. Just coming out there. Here's a cold Bud Light. Yeah. Appreciate you for everything that you do to keep this interesting for us. So we talked about our bets for this week. Mm-hmm. Or no, for this past week. Speaker 2 00:44:43 This past week. I mean we placed a bunch more bets than that. These are the only two that ended up hitting, just so everybody knows the 17 and the sixth. If you took my advice, they hit Yeah. If you did 'em, if you did 'em top five. So yeah, that was the, that was your three big ones last week was, uh, Buscher, Klowski and La Ajoy. And I think Lajoie got caught up in a wreck. Did so innocent enough. You can't really blame anybody on that one, but man. But yeah, putting that money down would've won some big money. I sent you 17. Awesome. This year. I sent you a uh, tweet last night. A dude put 550 bucks. This is on draft, this is Draft King verified here. 550 bucks on Bush winning won $10,450. Dang man. He's definitely buying a McLaren Grill with that. Speaker 2 00:45:28 Oh, without a doubt. He's probably the reason the website crashed. He probably bought a few of them. He bought, he probably was trying to design one to fit in somewhere like the size of this room right here. So I was like, man, that's, that's, that's why you like as a better, you like plate racing because like put some crazy shit down and he was plus 1800 to win. And that's why we were talking about Hill, like being plus 300 to win at a plate track is just bonkers because literally anything can happen. When the odds came out for this week even, I was gonna put those, my bets down anyway. But they, the original bet was 11 plus 11, the first one plus 1100 with Blaney. Yeah. So it was like, you know, plus 1100 and back. And then I didn't see a guy get below Logano ended up taking the lead of like, you know, best odds but only went down to a thousand. Speaker 2 00:46:12 That's as low as I saw it. So that's a, that's and that is fair, that's fair on play racing track. That's fair. I'm glad that they did that because they've gotten, sometimes they can get pretty bad about saying, ah, this is like the 24 when he was going on his hot streak. I mean if you bet on him, you would barely make anything back on any of his like if you finished top five, top three. I still got him with a top three. He baed some money a couple weeks ago. So. Yeah. And I mean like you can count on him, don't get me wrong, but it's racing is a little tough to get down that low in the odd spectrum and still find value in that because anything can happen. Yeah. You can wreck out. I mean it's not like a, like a football team loses a player, they're probably still gonna be strong. Speaker 2 00:46:52 Uh, a race team loses a car and you're in 35th position. Like there's no, there's no coming back from that. You can't overcome a race. One pit road incident, speed and pin, you know, whatever. And one hack of the week coming, one hack of the week take the worst block of all time. You know, it's like, yeah. It just is what it is and boom, you just lost all that money. So I love that money. Me too. We worked hard for the money man. <laugh> still, I just wanna say I'm still up. Yeah, yeah. I won one money, so I'm still up in my NASCAR bets I thought. Yes. Or last week. And I said I haven't lost yet. I was like, man, I really just screwed myself saying that. Yeah. I'm gonna have to start betting with y'all still worked out. You should, you should. Speaker 2 00:47:27 Well have to start. I, I haven't got got like a running thing with my dad and my brother Dawson's got a running thing with his family. And then we also have our DraftKings bets on top of it. We have a, there's like a league thing you can do in DraftKings now we found. Yeah. It sounds like a lot. We have a raise rowdy racing page on DraftKings. Come on baby. Let's, yeah, we do. And it like, uh, it uh, puts me and Dawson against each other. So every time we play Sabet it tells me what he bet he placed and it tells him what bets I placed. I looked through it last week or I looked through it yesterday. Cale's only beat me once all year. So Koto, I'm taking it. He beat. I might, I don't know, did that count this week? But haven't yet. Speaker 2 00:47:59 They'll have, they'll like, it takes a minute to like get 'em to go through for some reason. We'll see you winning more money might have gave you more points I'd say. Yeah. Cuz it judges the, the quality of your is based off of how Oh, tough it like whatever your odds were, like it's a plus 300 bed. It, it's gonna give you more points for winning that than someone placing a plus 100. Yeah. And it's somehow they got an a point system on there. Yeah. But Caleb might, I might, I might have this and I might have two on the air, but then again, we're talking about quite a few races this year already, so I'm getting tail whooped. I'm trying 11. We're come back, we're 11 or 12 in and I've won 10. You've won two. Two probably. Yeah. I'm a aware of those too. Speaker 2 00:48:37 I did not realize that I'd won that many. Like I knew I was doing well. Yeah. But I didn't realize like I'd won like every one of 'em. I had a feeling hell yeah, I had a feeling that's all. We were just sitting there. It was that yesterday we was just watching the race. I was like, dude, I gotta show you this. I'm kicking your ass <laugh>. I'm absolutely kicking your ass on these points man. And Caleb's like, yeah, it is what it is. I was like, you have one win. I was like, yep. We all know where that came from. Yep. Like I said Caleb, everything hit for him at Coda. So like I love Coda. Yeah. I just got screwed on that. It's in Texas. How could I not love Coda? Yeah, I absolutely adore the place. It's a very, very cool place. Speaker 2 00:49:07 And Texas Motor Speedway Fort Worth baby. Hey big Hoss. Hey, hey, hey. All right. This week coming up we got Dover the monster mile. Dover. Dover big ass. Uh, one mile high. Banked fast as as hell. Racetrack made outta concrete, not asphalt concrete. Baby concrete. They got all the joints in there, but dump, dump, dump, dump. It's like I 10 in Louisiana. Ooh. Ah. Hey we gotta sleep through it all the time, man. Rough man. Rough roads. But either way it is a fun track. I've absolutely love this track. It's so exciting. I mean, you have a wreck, Dover, you're gonna see some crazy stuff going down. They're gonna be cars spinning out. They call it self cleaning because of the bank. The the whole track's high bank. So yeah, you go straightaways up, you're coming down. Yep. So there, there's been some over the years there've been some like Dega style big ones that have happened at Dover. Speaker 2 00:49:58 Wasn't there like a big restart wreck? Uh, Jamie, uh, Jimmy Johnson had like some big thing go down right on a restart. Wrecks like half the field. That was like one of the challenges on one of the NASCAR heat. Yes. It was driving marola through it. Yeah. And somehow trying to get through that wreck and it's like, yes, that's exactly, car's going freaking everywhere and the whole time you're, it's just a ball to the wall racetrack. I mean it's as close as you can get to super speedway racing, like flat out because there's so much banking you can really aggressively attack these corners, go low, go high. There's a whole lot of stuff that you can do to like have fun at this racetrack as a race car driver. I know a lot of 'em say it's one of their favorite tracks to go to cuz it's so crazy and it's a big elevation change. Speaker 2 00:50:38 Yeah, yeah. Yeah. It's like normally, uh, we were talking about this yesterday, I can't remember exactly the feet what it is, but you start out when you're coming down the straightaway 60 60, I wanna say 60 as well. So probably it's somewhere in that area. Dang. But there's two big hump, like I say two big humps. So though you come over a hump drive off into the corner and then you drive out and it's like, that's the elevation change. Like obviously still bank, but it's just like, man, you're boss to the walls driving into the corner at Dover. Yeah. I can't imagine just like driving in a normal passenger car over a real short hill and it kinda gets your head, it makes you feel funny. Like a little roll close. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. And it's, it's like they take you, they do that for 400 miles. Speaker 2 00:51:15 Its just four, 400 laps is a mile track. Like that's, that's a lot. I'd have to be like Noah Grason and puke after I was done. For sure. No doubt about it for sure. But it looks like a ton of fun. I mean normally it would, it seems like normally they would take like a mound of dirt and make a corner out of that instead they dug a hole and made a corner out of that. Yeah. I still different. It's hellaciously. Oh yeah. And it's gonna be a good time. I definitely think that if you think Hendrick is not gonna come out here and dominate this race, then you are just lying to yourself. Not too long ago, Hendrick got the a uh, 1, 2, 3, 4 finish. They sell a little set of die cast cars from the Yeah, the four guys. One of the coolest things that I've ever seen is that Bowman, Bowman won that. Speaker 2 00:51:55 Mm-hmm. <affirmative>. He's, he's Bowman's one there. Chase is one there twice. And uh, Larson Larson's one there, but it was in the 42. I don't think he's one there in the five. I could be wrong about that. I think that's probably gonna change this week. Don't cuss me out. I totally see that changing this week. They are, I mean, Hendrick's just hard to beat and this is a fast racetrack and they are just going to do well. They're good at it. They're just gonna do well. They're good at it On top of it. I mean this, I think a lot of people may be misled if you've been watching the last couple weeks and didn't get a chance to see much else. If you've just been watching the last couple weeks, you're gonna, ThinkHR is gonna come out and just annihilate and they've had a good couple weeks, don't get me wrong. Speaker 2 00:52:34 But I really think we're going back to true to form stuff with, with Hendrick coming back in front. Your bets are gonna be, I'll put money on Larson, he's my favorite. So putting money on Larson and he'll be like, they even for winning will be like a plus 5 56 50 somewhere in there. I'd hope so. Um, that'll be a great bet to put, uh, Bowman's odds will probably be a little lower so you could probably get good value and money with him at top five. I'm probably gonna put a Bowman top five Larson winning. I could see, I don't know about Byron. I don't know what I would do with him yet. I'd have to see what his odds are. If his odds are like something stupid, crazy like it, you know, favored probably not much value in Mr. Bowman. Yeah. To be, uh, Byron. Uh, yeah Byron. Speaker 2 00:53:17 Um, to be honest, I always have a hard time with William Byron cuz he'll go on those hot streaks and he'll be great at the beginning of the year. He's did it this year and, and last year. This year and last year. I just, I don't know what it is about William Byron that just has me shy away from him every time it comes around to betting <laugh>. There's just something about it, I guess I just don't trust him enough yet. Yeah. I mean I just, I don't have that faith in him to go out there and dominate every week. I think if you give him a damn good car, he'll go out there and run up front. And I don't, I'm not saying he's gotten lucky with his wins, he's definitely earned them, but it feels more luck driven than anything else. I So basically you hate William Byron, what he said. Speaker 2 00:53:55 I don't, I don't hate William Byron <laugh>. I just can't, I don't wanna put money behind him not putting money behind William Byron, which equals hate. So Sorry. Sorry, Willie. Be you're living such a black and white world Benjamin Bill, come here and join the grade. Uh, yeah, we can, we can liken, we can like, Hey, Mr. A short track. He's won me money, so Mr. Short track, I got that money. I'm, I'm here for you Byron. I'm here for, I keep calling Dover a short track too. It's technically not a short track. It's way too fast to be a short track. Track. It just, it it has that, it has that same magic about it, you know, just like close ass racing. It's a mile. It's just like, uh, Phoenix. I mean, and Phoenix is considered a short track, but it's like flat and not as fast, I guess. Speaker 2 00:54:32 A little more bumping and banging. Dover's just high banked as fuck. So yeah, they just let us wait. I just, it's as close. It's what they call an intermediate track and that's such a, that's such a lame term for how fucking cool this racetrack is. Yeah. <laugh>, I'm, I'm excited for Dover, so we'll see. Yeah, I don't have, I, I'll put my bets up on the, uh, when y'all teach me how to use the website. Yeah, I'll have my bets up on there. You can see what we do Exactly. Do with 'em. Yeah, I'm ready. I'm learning the day, so we'll, we'll talk about that for one second. Uh, I'm gonna do I think two things a week on the Raise Rowdy website. I'm gonna do one like this week's gonna be my introduction of like who I am a little more in depth of where I came from, you know, why I like racing, you know, stuff like that. Speaker 2 00:55:15 And then next one my bets. So I don't, I don't really know what I'm gonna do. The first one's gonna be every week. Maybe talk about last week's race. I haven't really decided what that first one's gonna be, but I'm gonna put two things up per week and one will be bets, one will be something else. Yeah. Hell, I don't know. What if y'all are still hanging out with us too? If y'all, if anybody wants to hear something, I definitely hit us up on social media, Instagram, TikTok, all those different things. We love interacting. Yeah, we got raised rowdy racing on there. Um, I think there's only one place that's different, but the handle's typically raised rowdy racing. I think on Twitter it's, uh, rz, r c Ddy racing. Brody racing's too long. It was too long, man. A big word. Yeah. A lot of words put together. Speaker 2 00:55:53 So that's the only place where it's a little different. But yeah, we uh, we would love to hear what anybody wants to hear from us. I mean, if you wanna hear something on the podcast, we're gonna post. It's like someone like Randy. Shout out Randy. Actually, he he'll be listening today. Love that Caleb said sucking hiin tit last week. Heck yeah. I want to hear like what people from the week if we said something, you know, a little too redneck, a little fucked up. It's like, hell yeah. Tell us about it. Like let's, we'll, we'll teach you, we'll post how to talk NASCAR and we'll teach you how to talk Redneck. Yeah. <laugh>. So like, I want to hear from people about that, that like, send it to us personally. Send it to us, you know, on the page, on the racing page. Mm-hmm. <affirmative>, I'm here to hear all that cool stuff. Speaker 2 00:56:29 Yeah, I think it's cool. I like it. Definitely. I want to, I wanna see what people are liking. I wanna see what the people are interested in. Me and, uh, Caleb are gonna be in Durham, North Carolina this week. We're all Durham. I don't even know where that is. Not somewhere north. It's right by Raleigh. It is by Raleigh. I think I looked that up. It's by Raleigh. And then we have two nights in Renfro Valley, Kentucky. I Absolut absolutely love that place. Is that the name of the town or the venue? Uh, the name of the town is Ren Valley Renfro. Okay. And Renfro Valley. And then we go to this like, uh, it's this crazy little setup they have there. It's like an old school town type thing. Like they have a bunch of little stalls and booths and stuff. I don't think they're open like year round, but they have events now. Speaker 2 00:57:11 And what looks like, it used to be an old church. I mean the stage is about as big as this room. It's a small stage. We're gonna have wait to set everything up. We're gonna have hell unload in, man. I'm just telling you. Thank God we just have to do it once this week for two shows. That's double. So we got a doubleheader. I'm excited. We have to raise Immortal hell after the first show. Oh yeah. Uh, last year we had a huge incident with, uh, I was not there. I was not at this show. They had an acoustic show there. Man, I don't even know how much detail he's gonna want me to go into with this, but we'll just glaze that over. We'll glaze, we'll kind of glaze over it and just say we had a damn good time last time and I hope to relive it. Speaker 2 00:57:46 We pissed off so many people and made so many new friends all at the same time. Welcome to my gray area. I live in <laugh>, but we had a great time. We stay at the hotel, it's like a walk, like a, a football field away. It's right there. So we, uh, we're just gonna have a damn good time. Go up to the Limestone Grill, shout out to them. They fed us last year and I bet they feed us again this year. But we always do two dates here. They absolutely love us. There's a guy named Rick who was a security guard and uh, I brought my girlfriend Allison there last year and we had a great time and they ended up kind of talking backstage because he's, he just is sitting back watching the backstage area, making sure nothing crazy goes down. And so him and Allison talked for quite a bit. Speaker 2 00:58:27 And so me and him ended up talking for quite a bit and he sends me, Hey man, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Can't wait to see y'all again, kind of stuff. So I'm looking forward to you see the salsa guy? No, no. That is a promoter rep. Oh, that we have, we also have, we have a salsa hook up on the road too. Send this case is a, the best salsa I've ever eaten. Yeah. I mean, I'm not, it's it's great. It's awesome. Man's name is Lee Holdman and he's got a shout out Lee. Man, shout big shout daddies. Shout out to Lee. He works for a guy named Mike on the road, uh, one of our promoters. And every time Mike's there, Lee's there. Lee is the nicest person I've ever met. He has his big daddy salsa made with like horn. It's got a little spice to it, but it's a got a little yellow sweet little sweet to it dude. Speaker 2 00:59:05 It's a little sweet. And I think there's a little brown sugar in there or something. Yeah. But hell yeah. He is working on getting this stuff to be like nationally, um, distributed, syndicated or whatever. Yeah. He's, uh, he's trying to get Meyer to pick him up. He's got a couple, uh, grocery stores and such like, like in the Fort Wayne, Northern Indiana area. I know that he's got, uh, but every time he shows up, he brings a whole 12 pack case of this stuff and gives it to us. And I managed to get away with the first case without telling anyone else in the band or anybody that I had it. So I brought home like 12 jars of this stuff <laugh>. That didn't work out very long. The second time he gave it to me in front of somebody. And so now the whole bus knows if they see Lee to come find me because he's gonna give me a case of the salsa. Dang. 12 jars of it in the case. And there's 12 people on the bus. That's it. 13 if you include trucker bus driver. But pretty much everybody gets a jar of this stuff every single time we see Lee. Well luckily we see him quite a bit. Yeah. So we stay stocked. I think we've got like two extra jars in the pantry right now. I Speaker 3 01:00:05 Keep that thing on me. Speaker 2 01:00:06 Hell yeah. We'll, we'll have to give you some. You need talk? I'm absolutely. So shout out big daddy sauce and Lee Holdman, man. You're you. One, one more shout out I want to do, if you're still listening to this, cheddar is doing free Chicken Fingers today. Actually I'm an idiot because you won't hear this till tomorrow. So the chicken fingers will be long gone by then. But something to all about in the future, something to know. I'm gonna give a little, uh, little thing here. Nugget. If Kyle Busch wins a race, CHDS 10 Nugget <laugh> <laugh>. If Kyle Busch wins a race, you can go to Cheddar's and get free Chicken Fingers. It's like the combo number eight on the menu because he's number eight. So that's a thing. And then if, if, uh, chase Elliot gets a top 10, I think you can get it's been a while.
