S2 Episode 12: Greatest Race Ever

[00:00:05] Speaker A: This is Ray's rowdy racing with Caleb Conrady and Dawson Edwards. [00:00:13] Speaker B: Good morning, beautiful people. I bring it back for you this weekend. [00:00:17] Speaker C: There it is. [00:00:19] Speaker A: I missed it. [00:00:20] Speaker B: I can say it. For a good race. [00:00:22] Speaker A: Yeah, that's great. That'll be our. [00:00:24] Speaker B: Call it. [00:00:24] Speaker C: Good. [00:00:24] Speaker B: I'll call it a great race. [00:00:26] Speaker A: That was a great race for sure. Is that going to be our new, like, letting the. Letting the people know right as the episode starts whether we liked it or not? I think so, yeah. Well, every mile and a half. Get ready every morning. [00:00:39] Speaker C: Good morning, beautiful people. [00:00:41] Speaker B: I still hated Fox, but I love the race. [00:00:44] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. Honorary hack of the week. Already getting given away in the first 36 seconds of this episode. [00:00:51] Speaker B: Yeah. Did you follow my or see my Twitter yesterday? [00:00:55] Speaker A: I saw a little bit of it. We were. I actually kind of had to ignore Twitter for a bit there. [00:01:03] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. [00:01:04] Speaker B: I guess I didn't watch Twitter originally. [00:01:06] Speaker A: Yeah, I was texting with Dawson and Steven during the. During the very beginning part of the race, but we were coming home from Indiana. I was already expecting to have to. [00:01:17] Speaker C: Watch the race on my phone. On the car ride back, we went camping with her family at Rockville, Indiana. So we were partying in a camper and had a good old time, but Southville, Indiana. [00:01:32] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:01:33] Speaker C: For real. So we were heading back from Indiana. [00:01:37] Speaker A: Last night or yesterday during the day. So I was assuming I was going. [00:01:40] Speaker C: To be watching on my phone. [00:01:42] Speaker A: So the rain delay actually kind of worked in my favor because I was able to get home. We actually parked the truck at like. [00:01:49] Speaker C: 510 our time here. [00:01:53] Speaker A: 520 somewhere around there where they had. [00:01:55] Speaker C: Just started the actual race. [00:01:57] Speaker B: After the race came on at like six ish. [00:02:00] Speaker C: 610 probably, yeah. [00:02:01] Speaker A: Well, y'all's time. It was about 05:00 our time. [00:02:04] Speaker C: Yeah. And then we just had to unload. [00:02:07] Speaker A: The truck, and as soon as we got done unloading the truck, we had to find a couple things around the house, get a few things settled away. So by the time I was actually able to start watching, I think y'all. [00:02:15] Speaker C: Were already at like lap 75 or 80. [00:02:20] Speaker A: And our Internet, of course, wasn't working, so that put me back even further. [00:02:23] Speaker C: But I ended up watching it probably about a hundred laps behind live and. [00:02:28] Speaker B: Slowly catching up, though. [00:02:30] Speaker A: Yeah, I caught up with 75 to go. [00:02:32] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:02:34] Speaker A: Which worked out just fine. So I wasn't able to watch Twitter the entire time because if I got on there, I was going to be spoiling the race, and you and Steven were texting me stuff, so I knew it was good. [00:02:43] Speaker C: I knew stuff was going on, and I just had to catch back up to it. [00:02:48] Speaker B: There's so much good to talk about that. I'm not gonna ruin this by shitting on Fox the whole time. [00:02:54] Speaker C: I just want to say the reason. [00:02:56] Speaker B: I asked about Twitter is because I. [00:02:58] Speaker C: Tweeted up until, like, into. [00:03:00] Speaker B: I think it was, like, lap 198 until, like, I started cooking supper and couldn't keep up with commercials anymore. [00:03:06] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:03:07] Speaker B: I tweeted every single laugh that there. [00:03:10] Speaker C: Was commercial every time. Commercial. [00:03:13] Speaker A: Lap so and so commercial helicopter you got going on. [00:03:17] Speaker B: It wasn't. I didn't do it in a thread. I just did it, like, every single time it happened. [00:03:21] Speaker C: So it's all, like, spread out through there. But, uh, the other week ago, so. [00:03:28] Speaker B: It was averaging, like, literally averaging, like. [00:03:30] Speaker C: Every ten laps there was a commercial. And then I can't remember if it. [00:03:35] Speaker B: Was last week before last. There was one week we were sitting here and. And I'm timing from commercial to the next commercial, and it's averaging about seven. [00:03:44] Speaker C: And a half minutes. [00:03:45] Speaker B: And then you have three minutes of commercial and then seven and a half minutes. And then three minutes of commercial. [00:03:50] Speaker C: And Lindsey. [00:03:51] Speaker B: Lindsey came over and she was, like, sitting next to me. [00:03:54] Speaker C: She's like, what are you doing? And I was like, I'm doing an experiment. And she was like, what? [00:03:59] Speaker B: And then I told her, she was like, you're fucking crazy. And I was like, yeah, I know, but this needs to be done for scientific reasons. [00:04:05] Speaker A: Dawson is documenting the commercials for science. [00:04:09] Speaker B: Science. [00:04:10] Speaker C: So dang, you're like a modern day Mythbuster. Yeah. [00:04:14] Speaker B: So I did. [00:04:15] Speaker C: I did that. [00:04:17] Speaker B: I posted that. [00:04:18] Speaker C: I did that. [00:04:18] Speaker B: And someone told me that I wasn't crazy for doing it. So I'll take that for what it's worth. But anyway, that's all the negative stuff I have to say. I want to talk about all the great things. [00:04:28] Speaker A: I just want to let every anybody listening know that Dawson will take the feeling of a random dude on Twitter giving him validation over his own wife telling him he's crazy. [00:04:38] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:04:39] Speaker A: And that is just something I'm going. [00:04:41] Speaker C: To have to remember over something over timing commercials. [00:04:46] Speaker B: Cause I. If I saw someone else timing commercials. [00:04:49] Speaker C: I'd probably call them crazy as well. [00:04:51] Speaker A: Yeah, well, you know what? You're passionate. [00:04:53] Speaker C: It's what you. [00:04:54] Speaker A: It's what you do when you're passionate. I'm going to start creating burner accounts and giving you bad life advice and. [00:05:00] Speaker C: See how much I can get you to do. [00:05:02] Speaker B: No, I don't take advice. I wasn't taking this guy's advice. I was just saying, you let it way your feelings. [00:05:08] Speaker A: So I'm gonna start. Anytime you tweet something wild and crazy, I'm gonna do it too. [00:05:12] Speaker C: Skinny, too. [00:05:13] Speaker A: Anytime y'all tweet something wild and crazy, I'm just gonna back it up. [00:05:16] Speaker C: Hell, yeah. You go, man. I'm all. [00:05:19] Speaker B: You're not crazy. [00:05:19] Speaker C: I don't care what your wife says. [00:05:21] Speaker A: It's gonna be great. [00:05:23] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:05:23] Speaker A: So get ready for that. I don't know what it's gonna be called, but we'll figure it out. Maybe it'll be the Seabel hate Christopher Bell. [00:05:29] Speaker B: Yeah. That's rough. [00:05:30] Speaker A: Yeah. The sea bell hate page is gonna start validating Dawson's feelings. Big feelings, guy. [00:05:36] Speaker B: But anyways, that race started off just. It started from lap one as a banger. I mean, the one in the five. [00:05:46] Speaker C: I was texting. [00:05:47] Speaker B: I was also texting a lot during the race. [00:05:49] Speaker C: Randy Adams. [00:05:52] Speaker B: I think I. It was, like, literally to lab, like, 82. [00:05:56] Speaker C: It felt like that they were side by side. [00:05:59] Speaker B: It was like the whole first part of the race. It felt like they were side by side the whole time. [00:06:03] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:06:04] Speaker A: Trading and then finally lead back and forth. [00:06:06] Speaker B: Yeah. Larson, he got. [00:06:08] Speaker C: When he started dropping back, was it. [00:06:11] Speaker B: Was it Hamlin that he was battling with? Larson battled two guys. One was chastain, and one was someone else. So once Chastain or whoever it was, got on pass, Larson got another battle. [00:06:21] Speaker C: And I was like, that. [00:06:22] Speaker B: That right rear is going to be. [00:06:25] Speaker C: Smoked after he's had two battles like. [00:06:27] Speaker B: This for 80 something laps. [00:06:29] Speaker C: Like, yeah, he's gonna be. He's gonna be smoked. I don't know if you saw Jamie. [00:06:36] Speaker B: Little's post on that final caution, like, the last caution before the green white checkered. [00:06:42] Speaker C: His. His right front was corded. [00:06:45] Speaker B: He did not have a right front tire anymore. [00:06:47] Speaker A: That's so wild, because he was complaining about the right rear for so long. [00:06:50] Speaker C: And then after that, it was door right front. Yep. [00:06:53] Speaker B: At the end of the race, it. [00:06:54] Speaker C: Was the right front, and it was. [00:06:57] Speaker B: It was corded really bad on the inside, and then it had, like, grooves where the. They were, like, coming out, you know, and been pulled up every, like, maybe inch or so throughout the whole entire tire. So the whole tire all the way. [00:07:09] Speaker C: Across was just ripped apart. And I was like, I mean, he. [00:07:14] Speaker B: Needed that caution so bad. [00:07:16] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:07:19] Speaker A: Oh, man. [00:07:20] Speaker C: He did. [00:07:22] Speaker B: You want to talk about the finish first or the whole get. Talk about the whole race, then the finish. [00:07:25] Speaker C: How do you want to go it? [00:07:26] Speaker A: Let's talk about the whole race and then the finish let's build up to the best part. [00:07:30] Speaker C: Okay. [00:07:31] Speaker A: Might as well. [00:07:31] Speaker B: I'm looking at Gluck's poll, when I voted, was sitting in 96%. Yes. Which is like the highest I've ever seen. [00:07:39] Speaker A: Now voted, and it's still at 96. [00:07:42] Speaker C: How can you see? [00:07:43] Speaker B: Is your phone still up? How many votes does he have on there? [00:07:45] Speaker A: Total votes? 25,703. And one response from Carson Joseph are, which made me laugh. [00:07:51] Speaker B: Yeah, he responds every week. Gives a little reason of what he did. When I saw it, I had like 21, 21,000. I saw it once and it was like 18 or 19, and that's when I voted. And then it popped up again where. [00:08:05] Speaker C: Someone, like, was commenting on it. [00:08:07] Speaker B: Yeah, it had 21,000, but that was. [00:08:10] Speaker C: Probably an hour or so ago. [00:08:12] Speaker A: I mean, I don't know what else you would have wanted. I would love to know what 4%. [00:08:16] Speaker C: Of the people had to say bad. [00:08:19] Speaker A: About it, unless they just wanted Chris Buscher to win. Maybe there was one guy of prosper. [00:08:24] Speaker C: Texas, 30,000 of them. Yes. [00:08:27] Speaker B: If you probably, if you're a Chris. [00:08:28] Speaker C: Bush or an RFK fan, it's possible. [00:08:31] Speaker B: That you voted no. [00:08:33] Speaker C: But it's not, it's not. The poll doesn't say, was the finish good? [00:08:38] Speaker B: It says, was this a good race? [00:08:40] Speaker A: Yeah, and it was a great race from race. [00:08:43] Speaker B: There was a guy on there, I don't remember his name. Michael Palmer was the one chatting back and forth with him, who is a guy that I've been following. [00:08:51] Speaker C: I feel like most people know who Michael is. [00:08:54] Speaker B: I've been following him forever. [00:08:55] Speaker C: And he commented something online, like, if. [00:09:00] Speaker B: You voted no on this, like what? Like, what else could you possibly want? [00:09:05] Speaker C: Like, what are you looking for to vote no? [00:09:08] Speaker B: And this guy commented something about, like, well, if I'm watching a movie and. [00:09:13] Speaker C: I hate the ending of the movie, I'm gonna say it's a terrible movie. [00:09:17] Speaker B: And like, I hated the movie. [00:09:19] Speaker C: And that was his reasoning. [00:09:22] Speaker B: And then they get into a whole. [00:09:24] Speaker C: Little back and forth thing, which is pretty great. And the, if you want to see. [00:09:29] Speaker B: That, you can go see it. Some funny stuff gets said, but I'm not gonna repeat it on here, but it was pretty good. And. Yeah, so I don't know. It does, but, like, that's where I was saying, like, it was, it doesn't say it was at a good finish. It was at a good race. There's been a bunch over the last. [00:09:45] Speaker C: Few years, I mean, especially with that. [00:09:49] Speaker B: Like, when we had the bog down, 550 packages, they had a green white checkered. Like, the finishes were always bangers. [00:09:55] Speaker C: Like, the race probably sucked, you know, back. [00:09:57] Speaker B: I'm talking about mile and a half, specifically back when mile and a half sucked and before. [00:10:01] Speaker C: They were incredible and everyone wants them. Uh, you know, they. [00:10:06] Speaker B: The finishes of those races were incredible. You know, you remember the year that Cole custard won at Kentucky and, like, blaney goes to the grass and, like, hitting the drainage holes and his car smoking and bottom out, and that was, like, floor. Yeah, like four wide. And I think it was like, him and Harvick. [00:10:22] Speaker A: Yeah, sir. [00:10:23] Speaker B: And someone else is in that photo. [00:10:25] Speaker A: But, uh, I remember what you're talking about. It was awesome. [00:10:28] Speaker B: That was, that was another one of. [00:10:29] Speaker C: Those, like, that race probably blew, but. [00:10:32] Speaker B: The finish was awesome, you know? [00:10:34] Speaker A: Yeah, it just. Sometimes the finish makes or breaks the race, for sure. [00:10:38] Speaker C: But I think even with the controversy. [00:10:41] Speaker A: At the end, at least for the first two minutes after the checkered flag. [00:10:45] Speaker C: Flew, when you didn't really know who won the race, I mean, yeah, even. [00:10:50] Speaker A: With all that, that was just extra drama on top of it. [00:10:53] Speaker C: I mean, I just don't see, even. [00:10:55] Speaker A: If you were a Chris Buscher fan and you lost the race by that much, that is one of those situations where you just got to sit back and say, you know what? [00:11:02] Speaker C: What, man? That was just worth it to see. [00:11:06] Speaker A: From beginning to end. I mean, you may not be happy with the way that it came to. [00:11:10] Speaker C: End, but, man, you're only mad because you were in second. [00:11:13] Speaker A: And I know that's easy to say, but, I mean, this was only mad about it because you finished just behind the leader. But the rest of it, I can't see a single thing that you could complain about that I couldn't come back. [00:11:23] Speaker C: At you with something. [00:11:25] Speaker B: I agree. We had this same exact conversation, too, about the Atlanta race. Like, the race was good, plus also had an incredible finish. [00:11:32] Speaker C: This is. [00:11:32] Speaker B: Yeah, this falls into that same category. I talked to my dad last night, and I told him, and he agreed. [00:11:40] Speaker C: In, like, modern NASCAR. [00:11:43] Speaker B: And I say modern. I'm just like, you know, in the last, like, 2025 years, whatever you want to call that, I have never seen, and we could not think of a time, and I haven't seen anybody post. [00:11:53] Speaker C: A time on the Internet yet that, like, the. The pile on, like, the scoring, the. [00:12:01] Speaker B: Way the scoring happens. Like, I have not ever seen that get flipped back. Like, usually what that pops up as. [00:12:07] Speaker C: Is the way it. [00:12:08] Speaker B: It went down. Like, that's how it. [00:12:11] Speaker C: When you. I always, like. [00:12:14] Speaker B: I mean, even as far back as you know, being a little kid, it's like, watch the finish immediately. [00:12:20] Speaker C: What you think? [00:12:21] Speaker B: I didn't even have a thought last night. It was so close. [00:12:23] Speaker C: I did not know. [00:12:24] Speaker A: I didn't either. [00:12:25] Speaker B: Same with Atlanta. Which Atlanta? I was watching it with my own eyes, like, right there in front. Obviously, I had no idea. And I also didn't have a score. I did have a pile on to look at. Thank God Atlanta still got one. [00:12:35] Speaker A: But count as days. [00:12:36] Speaker B: You can't hear, so you really don't know there. But it's like you watch the finish line and then boom, you go immediately to the top and see what the. [00:12:43] Speaker C: What the pile on the, you know, what the computer says and that's never been usually dead on. Yeah, it's. Yeah, I don't, I could not think. [00:12:53] Speaker B: Of a time or anything that had ever been changed. And when they, and then when it originally popped up, it says 0.00. And I was like, is it literally a tie? [00:13:04] Speaker A: Like, was it literally, is that possible? I mean, it was. That was completely wild. I mean, it was from the beginning of the race, you just knew it was, it had something special to it that something like that was going to happen. [00:13:16] Speaker C: Because even whenever stage one is going. [00:13:19] Speaker A: On, and you do have Larson and Chastain battling back and forth, they're just. [00:13:22] Speaker C: Passing each other back, passing each other back. And it's not three or four, it's. [00:13:27] Speaker A: Not one and two. It's all of the racetrack. [00:13:30] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:13:30] Speaker A: If they're coming off of any corner, they're probably about to make a move, about to cross each other over, about to do something. So you just knew that at some point there's probably going to be a. [00:13:38] Speaker C: Moment at the start, finish line for. [00:13:41] Speaker A: The end of this race or the end of a stage where two people were side by side because they were just side by side every minute of. [00:13:46] Speaker C: The whole dang thing. Totally. [00:13:48] Speaker B: One of my favorite things they said. [00:13:49] Speaker C: During that, that first, you know, when. [00:13:52] Speaker B: They were doing that, going back and forth, back and forth. I guess it was either that race last year or the fall race at Kansas. They broke the record for, like, most lead changes at a mile and a half. [00:14:02] Speaker A: Yeah, it's whatever. [00:14:04] Speaker B: And somebody, I came. Who in the booth, they're like, they're trying to break that record on their own, you know, by themselves. [00:14:09] Speaker C: Yeah. And I was like, I mean, every. [00:14:12] Speaker B: Single time they went across the line, it was a different guy. A different, different guy. I mean, it was awesome. And it was officially charges. [00:14:18] Speaker A: It was unofficial. It was awesome. [00:14:20] Speaker C: Yeah. It started out that way. [00:14:23] Speaker B: And then it never. It never let up. [00:14:26] Speaker C: And then the move that busher made. [00:14:30] Speaker B: Going five wide was one of the coolest. It looked like he had 200 extra horsepower. [00:14:36] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:14:36] Speaker B: And just shot down the middle of those guys like he was the farthest one back. I don't even. I don't know how it happened, but he. [00:14:42] Speaker A: Yeah, it was a magic right through. [00:14:45] Speaker B: It was bail in the Yahoo car. [00:14:47] Speaker C: And was it Chastain on the inside. [00:14:50] Speaker A: With the bush light car? Because it. [00:14:52] Speaker B: Bell and Chastain both went backwards after this, that they ran back in like. [00:14:57] Speaker A: They were leading the damn race, battling each other back and forth with the lead. And suddenly just a three wide monster comes up. One shoots them in the middle, and two go on their outsides, and it's Ty Gibbs outside, Chris Buscher in the middle. [00:15:11] Speaker C: And I don't remember, is it true. [00:15:13] Speaker A: X or Hamlin or somebody on the. [00:15:15] Speaker C: Bottom end just coming up and just swallowing them up? [00:15:19] Speaker A: So they each lose three positions right there, coming around to the other end of it, and next thing you know, they're racing back in six and seven, and they have no chance. There's no way that they're getting back. [00:15:30] Speaker C: Up to the front. [00:15:32] Speaker A: And it just blew my mind to watch that go down. That was one of the coolest moments I think I've ever seen, where the race immediately, just with the flip of a switch. [00:15:41] Speaker C: You're talking about these two guys. Boom. [00:15:43] Speaker A: Now you're talking about these three guys. [00:15:45] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:15:45] Speaker A: And never to hear from those other two guys again. [00:15:47] Speaker B: And that changed Bush's race. That move made Bush go from running in the, like, back of the top ten to. He didn't come out of the top three the rest of the race. [00:15:56] Speaker A: That was like such a king that you. If you have that opportunity, you just have to take it, no matter what. I mean, it changed the entire complexion of his race. [00:16:06] Speaker B: And so did pit road. [00:16:08] Speaker A: But that moment right there was just. [00:16:10] Speaker B: I forgot about that. I even forgot about that. Like, he did. No, he did fall back. He went back. [00:16:16] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:16:16] Speaker B: Ended up some strategy and such as the way the cautions fell and pitting. [00:16:20] Speaker C: And that. [00:16:21] Speaker B: That was also, like, what made. When I say, like, what more could you ask for? That was like, what made the race so cool, too. They ended up. You didn't know if it was going to be a fuel mileage deal. They're taking two tires, four tires. There's extra pit stops. You know, there for a second, you got the. The 19 car was going to pass Hamlin at the end Hamlin shows how dominant his car was at one point. And you're thinking, Hamlin's going to get two in a row. And, I mean, it was just. That's what I mean. [00:16:50] Speaker C: Like, the race had everything NASCAR race was. [00:16:53] Speaker B: Is just supposed to have all wrapped. [00:16:56] Speaker C: Up in a little present as one. Yeah. [00:17:00] Speaker A: It was a battle for the lead constantly. [00:17:02] Speaker C: It was pit stop strategy. [00:17:04] Speaker A: It was fuel mileage. [00:17:05] Speaker C: I mean, I can't think of a. [00:17:08] Speaker A: Single thing that was missing there except for a flip. [00:17:11] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:17:12] Speaker A: I mean, so for all the casual fans that just want to see a wreck, wasn't as many wrecks as I think they would have wanted in first two stages. [00:17:18] Speaker B: At the first two stages, there was no wrecks. But then, boom, you come out, and then it was like, after the start of third stage, it's like there's a wreck there for a minute. [00:17:25] Speaker C: Like, every second lap. [00:17:26] Speaker A: Yeah, I'll just sit here and try to justify the 4%, but really, I'm having a hard time even seeing y'all's point. Yeah, me too. [00:17:33] Speaker B: I had. [00:17:34] Speaker C: I just. [00:17:35] Speaker B: I'm gonna bring in one more negative thing here. But, like, I still hate that this. [00:17:39] Speaker C: Car that, like, you spin out and. [00:17:42] Speaker B: Don'T touch a single thing and it. [00:17:44] Speaker C: And you're done. I just. [00:17:46] Speaker B: I cannot wrap my mind around that at all. [00:17:48] Speaker A: With losing track position with. [00:17:52] Speaker B: With Joey Logano, like, those guys wrecked and then, like, meaning Joe Ligano, he. [00:17:57] Speaker C: Ran halfway decent and then ends up finishing 34th, you know, and I was just like. Because he spun out. Like, I was like, what in the world? [00:18:04] Speaker B: That doesn't make any sense to me. [00:18:06] Speaker A: Oh, he was cracking me up, too. Allison was sitting there watching with me as the. As the Logano thing was going down. Him spinning this car out and not having tires is the worst possible thing that could happen to Joey Logano. Cause he just freaks out, and you could sell whenever the wrecker's pulling up. [00:18:23] Speaker C: To go get him. He is not a fan of record drivers. [00:18:27] Speaker A: No, not at all. And I think he's more just frustrated because having a flat tire just should not relegate him to having to get towed back to the. The pit road. [00:18:34] Speaker B: That's what I. [00:18:35] Speaker A: That's exactly what he's feeling. [00:18:36] Speaker C: Yeah. As well. [00:18:38] Speaker A: But it's like, how long do you need to spin your tires down there before you're just wasting caution laps? [00:18:45] Speaker C: Yeah, it was a. [00:18:48] Speaker B: That's something I just can't. I just don't understand. I can't get into it. [00:18:52] Speaker C: But something else that I posted on Twitter, this cracked me up. [00:18:58] Speaker B: So Megan, my sister, she's, she's getting on the twitter because she wants to keep up with racing because of probably what you said last week. Like, if you don't, if you watch racing and don't have Twitter, then, like. [00:19:10] Speaker C: You know, like, you're missing out. [00:19:12] Speaker B: Basically, you're coming. [00:19:13] Speaker C: An old man getting on the Twitter. [00:19:16] Speaker B: I actually made a post yesterday during my caution thing. [00:19:21] Speaker C: Like, if you're, if you were just. [00:19:23] Speaker B: A casual fan watching on tv and you didn't have Twitter, you would miss. [00:19:28] Speaker C: You couldn't keep up. [00:19:30] Speaker B: Like, I learned so much stuff that's going on under commercial breaks by looking at Twitter and seeing what the guys are saying on the radio, what Jeff. [00:19:38] Speaker C: Gluck and Bob Pawkers is posting about with. [00:19:42] Speaker B: They were given all the updates on the Chastain and Larson battle when they. [00:19:48] Speaker C: Were under commercial every ten laps, you. [00:19:51] Speaker B: Know, because like I said, it felt like they raced side by side for freaking 80 laps. [00:19:55] Speaker A: So, yeah, if I can give them any sort of, you know, pass on it at all, it's that they couldn't have gone to commercial without missing something that went on for the pass, for the lead. So they, on one hand, they had a little bit of a pass because there was no chance they were ever not going to have a moment where they're going to miss something. But, yeah, the number of times it. [00:20:13] Speaker C: Happened, it was just, it was too damn high. [00:20:17] Speaker B: Yeah. But what made me laugh was Megan goes, Meg, I couldn't. Megan was just, like, tapping my name in on Twitter, you know, and it's. [00:20:23] Speaker C: Kind of hard to, to find, like. [00:20:25] Speaker B: If you just type in somebody's name. [00:20:26] Speaker C: Like, yeah, it can Twitter. The search bar on Twitter is, like, kind of weird. And, yeah, it is. [00:20:32] Speaker B: She's like, you're, like, you're relevant on Twitter. Like, you, you're, like, non existent. Like, I can't find you. [00:20:37] Speaker A: I was like, yeah, damn. [00:20:38] Speaker B: I don't get any. I don't get, like, you know, like I said, I'll make a post and get zero likes or something. [00:20:44] Speaker C: But I wanted to say I made a post yesterday that said they should just race kansas every spot on the. [00:20:53] Speaker B: Schedule, that they're supposed to be a road course. I got like 29 or 30 likes on it. And I was like, hell yeah, people do be agreeing. [00:21:00] Speaker C: Yes, they do. [00:21:02] Speaker B: With like seven Kansas races a year. [00:21:05] Speaker A: Hell yeah. [00:21:05] Speaker C: I'd be down for it. [00:21:07] Speaker A: I mean, just give us a bunch more mile and a halfs right now. [00:21:09] Speaker C: You know what? [00:21:10] Speaker A: I'll just take back everything I said in 2018. [00:21:13] Speaker C: Give me more. I mean, you got. [00:21:17] Speaker B: It's just that I just. [00:21:19] Speaker A: Larson even agrees with you. [00:21:20] Speaker B: Yeah, Lars, I love that Larson. And he's not the only driver that it. [00:21:23] Speaker C: Now. [00:21:23] Speaker B: He's the only guy, I feel like that said it, like, in a victory lane quote. [00:21:27] Speaker C: But there's been plenty of. Of media people and such. It's like, I want to say it was Brad Keselowski. [00:21:33] Speaker B: Maybe even, like, two years ago when this car came out, he said something. [00:21:37] Speaker C: He's like, you know, we have the. [00:21:39] Speaker B: Ability now, in 2024, to make a lot of schedule changes. And, you know, they made all these. [00:21:45] Speaker C: Schedule changes to, like, cater to the. [00:21:47] Speaker B: Other car with, like, say, road courses and short tracks. [00:21:50] Speaker C: And it's like, now we should. [00:21:52] Speaker B: We should cater towards this car and throw in all the mile and a halfs until we get the other thing figured out. [00:21:57] Speaker C: And, I mean, yeah, obviously, 96% of people agree that that is what, you. [00:22:04] Speaker B: Know, we wish could happen. It's like the roval, for example. [00:22:08] Speaker C: Like, they could just run Charlotte like. [00:22:10] Speaker B: They used to back in the day, run the Koch 600, and then the fall over races, the 400 miles race. Like, it was that way forever. [00:22:16] Speaker C: Let's go right back to it. [00:22:18] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean, they're not doing that this year. [00:22:20] Speaker C: No, they. [00:22:20] Speaker B: They brought the robo back, even though I said on this podcast that the robo was done. But it's. It is not. [00:22:26] Speaker C: The roble is in the playoffs again, lame. [00:22:29] Speaker A: So can't win them all. [00:22:31] Speaker C: Yeah, but I mean, like, the coke. [00:22:33] Speaker B: 600, and, like, we've seen Charlotte, like, charlotte in this car is a banger. [00:22:37] Speaker C: Oh, it's an absolute banger. [00:22:40] Speaker A: But that's just the benefit of having the new. The new package on this thing. I mean, it does have its. [00:22:45] Speaker C: We've said it before. [00:22:46] Speaker A: It does have its moments where it is phenomenal, and it stands out like this. [00:22:52] Speaker C: It just has so many different. [00:22:54] Speaker A: It has so many tracks that just. [00:22:55] Speaker C: Pull away from it that you can. [00:22:57] Speaker A: Be really excited for the weeks that these happen. [00:22:59] Speaker C: But then it's three to four in. [00:23:01] Speaker A: A row where you're just like, oh, golly, this package, man. I I just. I laughed so hard when Kyle, uh, when Larson got out of the car and said, I know we all bitch about the package on live tv. Just, I know we all bitch about the package, but this thing, a mile and a half, is some of the best racing I've ever been a part of. [00:23:16] Speaker C: It is. [00:23:17] Speaker B: I mean, it 100%. It 1000% is. I mean, every. Like, we've just said it, but everything. [00:23:24] Speaker C: You could imagine or want in a. [00:23:26] Speaker B: NASCAR race, this car delivers that to you on a mile and a half, and it doesn't really matter which mile and a half it is. [00:23:33] Speaker C: Like, I would pay money to see. [00:23:36] Speaker B: This car race at Chicago and Kentucky. I just wish those two cars. [00:23:40] Speaker A: Chicago mostly, but Kentucky, I'd be interested to see what it could produce there with how flat three and four always was. [00:23:47] Speaker B: Yeah, I would just love to. To see it, you know, like, I know Kentucky. [00:23:52] Speaker C: It just kind of like everything else. [00:23:54] Speaker B: The races started out at Kentucky being awesome, and they really fell off. But, you know, I also. I got to be there in Kentucky. [00:24:02] Speaker C: The race that the Bush brothers, you. [00:24:04] Speaker B: Know, beaten bang across the finish line, and, like, that was a bang. That was a banger of a race, like, all the way through. [00:24:10] Speaker C: And I. I think that was over there. Lucky. [00:24:14] Speaker B: It's sitting right up there, right dead. [00:24:16] Speaker C: In front of me. [00:24:16] Speaker A: Hell, yeah. [00:24:18] Speaker B: I. [00:24:19] Speaker C: You know, I just. [00:24:20] Speaker B: I think they ended that. I think that might have been the last race. I don't remember if they went back in. [00:24:25] Speaker C: In 2020. [00:24:26] Speaker A: I don't think so. [00:24:27] Speaker B: And then it, you know, it's gone now. Or was. I mean, the track still there and the NASCAR just doesn't race at it. [00:24:32] Speaker C: But, man, it's just. [00:24:34] Speaker B: That's kind of what I'm saying about the schedule. [00:24:36] Speaker C: I mean, I wish they could just throw in, you know, one or those. [00:24:41] Speaker B: Two and just bring it back. Take the out. Take the roval turn into the oval and then take out two road courses. [00:24:48] Speaker C: And, you know, have them, you know, Chicago and Kentucky. [00:24:52] Speaker A: It'd be awesome. [00:24:53] Speaker B: Or race for it or race at Kansas four times a year. [00:24:56] Speaker C: I don't know. Yeah. Yeah. [00:25:00] Speaker A: It was just. It would be so much fun to see something like that. [00:25:04] Speaker C: It bothers what. What depresses me, though, is, is seeing that race yesterday and knowing, like, the. [00:25:15] Speaker B: Championship race, where it all comes down. [00:25:17] Speaker C: To this one final thing. Is it a racetrack like Phoenix? [00:25:21] Speaker B: That's what just depresses me. [00:25:24] Speaker A: Depressed Dawson over here. [00:25:26] Speaker C: Yeah, it just depresses it. Just. [00:25:29] Speaker B: Just to know, for all of us to sit and know that that's what we could have. [00:25:34] Speaker C: Even if they. If they bumped it, you know, if. [00:25:37] Speaker B: Which they're saying on all the podcasts from junior to door bumper clear to Denny Hamlin to whatever, that. [00:25:43] Speaker C: That this is the last year at. [00:25:45] Speaker B: Phoenix, and they think it's going back. [00:25:46] Speaker C: To Homestead, and homestead in this car. [00:25:49] Speaker B: Puts on awesome races. [00:25:51] Speaker C: It just does. [00:25:52] Speaker A: Oh, it'll be awesome. [00:25:53] Speaker C: And I can't wait. [00:25:54] Speaker B: You know, if that happens. Then it's like we get to watch all these mile and a halfs all year and be like, you know, wow. [00:26:01] Speaker C: This is, this is where we're headed. Be incredible. Yeah. [00:26:05] Speaker A: Imagine, imagine if Ross and Kyle are in the, are in the final four and they're battling side by side like that for lap after lap after lap after lap for 80 laps at a championship race. You'd have a heart attack. You would have a heart attack and die. [00:26:22] Speaker B: Yeah, it would be, it would be incredible. It would be incredible. [00:26:27] Speaker C: And I think it has my vote. [00:26:29] Speaker B: Yeah, I just, I'm ready to see it. [00:26:31] Speaker C: And, you know, I guess you probably. [00:26:33] Speaker B: Can'T go to Kansas in November because it's probably 25 degrees. [00:26:38] Speaker C: Oh, without a doubt in November, which. [00:26:42] Speaker B: Yeah, so I get that and I. [00:26:45] Speaker C: Totally understand why, like, you know, but golly, they would just, it would just be, it'd be awesome. [00:26:52] Speaker A: But a homestead in this car would. [00:26:53] Speaker C: Still be a really fun pick. Totally. [00:26:57] Speaker B: And, I mean, it'd be the raciest racetrack that we could go to, and we haven't. [00:27:01] Speaker C: When did they. [00:27:02] Speaker B: I can't remember when they quit going to homestead. It's probably been like, what, four years. [00:27:07] Speaker A: Solid four or five years now. [00:27:08] Speaker C: Yeah, that's what I thought. So it's like, I mean, when you. [00:27:13] Speaker B: Got into racing, they were still doing homestead. Cuz I remember having the parties at your places and they were still at home. So I remember that. So I know. Yeah. And we, you know, watching Truex and Logano, and I remember those championships getting one, you know, there, and that's where it wasn't. Don't get me wrong, bad stuff would happen off pit road. [00:27:29] Speaker C: Like, I remember Hamlin put too much. [00:27:33] Speaker B: Tape on the nose and then you had the true x put the wrong tires on, stuff like that. [00:27:36] Speaker C: But, like, I also remember it was the year that Truex said, like, he. [00:27:43] Speaker B: Won the race, but he ain't gonna win the war. And then Truex came out in front of Logano on pit road. But Logano ended up capacity, you know. [00:27:51] Speaker C: Easily on the racetrack. Yeah, that was the year that, that. [00:27:54] Speaker B: Logano won the championship, whatever year that was. And it would just bring back to. [00:27:59] Speaker C: Where, like, it wouldn't be, like we. [00:28:01] Speaker B: Talked about last week, the photo finish wouldn't be the line off the end of it rope. We know we could still have a race. [00:28:07] Speaker A: Exactly. And the poll winner isn't going to have such a major advantage in the middle of a championship race. I'm all about that in a regular race, but in a championship race, I don't want you to have an advantage like that. [00:28:19] Speaker B: I still on the same train where I don't mind it because if you don't mind, you got to be the fastest there. I just hate Phoenix, and that's my biggest problem. [00:28:30] Speaker C: Like, you know, if it's. [00:28:33] Speaker B: If it's qualifying, gives you that much of advantage to have the first pit. [00:28:35] Speaker C: Stall, then put a bunch more emphasis. [00:28:38] Speaker B: On qualifying and, you know, beat the other guy, you know, is what I say. [00:28:43] Speaker C: Yeah, but I mean, that is what it is. [00:28:48] Speaker B: Like they. That goes back to what we talked about last week. They could just have a line going into turn one after they all fan. [00:28:54] Speaker C: Out and just see who makes it, you know, through turn one out the other side. [00:29:02] Speaker A: Yeah, no, it was. I just want to. I'm with you. I want to see more of these. [00:29:06] Speaker C: And speaking back towards pit roads and. [00:29:10] Speaker A: Advantages and disadvantages, I really thought the. [00:29:12] Speaker C: 17 had completely given it up whenever that whole pit sequence happened. [00:29:18] Speaker A: I mean, there was a lot of pit road mistakes. You had Larson barely able to get that tire off. You had Bush are obviously having those issues hammling those behind Austin Hill. Yeah, it was incredible on pit road. [00:29:31] Speaker B: And that wasn't like pit crew guys problems. That was just. Yeah, he got stuck and then at one point he's already out on pit road in the 41, was trying to come over. So he had to let off to get. I came if he let off or sped up, whatever he did to let. [00:29:44] Speaker A: He had to get around the 41 up and the 41 let him go. But it was after a checkup already had happened. [00:29:51] Speaker B: Yeah, speaking of the 41, I texted you about this and I did about it on Twitter. [00:29:57] Speaker C: He's boo man for that whole. [00:30:01] Speaker B: They ended up finishing in like the twenties. All of them did, except Noah. Noah got his third straight top ten finish, which is just awesome to see bonkers compared. [00:30:10] Speaker C: Compared to his teammates. [00:30:12] Speaker B: But to start the race in that first, like, stage, that 1st 80 laps or whatever it was there that I. [00:30:17] Speaker C: Keep referencing, the 41 car was 2. [00:30:22] Speaker B: Seconds off the pace from 37th. He was running dead last. [00:30:26] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:30:27] Speaker A: Just flat out, genuinely running last place. [00:30:30] Speaker B: Like nothing had happened. He was just running that bad. [00:30:34] Speaker C: And he. [00:30:34] Speaker B: He commented on the radio. I saw a post on Twitter. He said, he said, this is the worst I have ever felt the car. The worst car I've ever driven in a mile and a half track in my whole entire career. [00:30:44] Speaker C: Career. Damn. Obviously you could tell. [00:30:48] Speaker A: And that's saying something is we're talking about going from a fairly underfunded team. [00:30:53] Speaker C: That it used to be at to now being at what was within very. [00:31:00] Speaker B: Recent minutes, 20 was when they had. When freaking Kevin Harvey won ten races in one season. [00:31:05] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:31:05] Speaker A: I mean, there was. They should be one of the most. [00:31:08] Speaker C: Competitive race teams on the racetrack. [00:31:10] Speaker A: And obviously, we've documented with a lot of detail all the problems that they've had. [00:31:14] Speaker C: But to go from that other car. [00:31:17] Speaker A: That he was with, what was that JTG that he was with back in. [00:31:20] Speaker B: The day, he was the teammates with the 47 and a 37. [00:31:23] Speaker A: Yeah. And then to go into this car, and now he's running dead last or. [00:31:27] Speaker B: No priest was in the 47. Because I have. [00:31:30] Speaker C: I. I have all priest metal from Talladega, and I'm. [00:31:34] Speaker B: I feel like Priest did drop the 37 there, though, at one point. [00:31:38] Speaker A: I think maybe for a year. It's been long enough. [00:31:40] Speaker C: I don't recall exactly, but I. For those of you that don't know. [00:31:46] Speaker B: In 2019, that's how I found out about collecting sheet metal, was because I'm on pit road, and this guy walks by and Tal Dek, everybody's wrecking and crashing or whatever. [00:32:00] Speaker C: This dude's got a huge chunk of Kyle Busch's nose, and he was walking past. [00:32:05] Speaker B: My ass was like, how'd you get that? [00:32:07] Speaker C: And he was like. [00:32:08] Speaker B: He's like, dude, if you just ask them, they'll. They'll give it to you. Because they don't. [00:32:11] Speaker C: You know, like, they're. [00:32:12] Speaker B: It's wrecked. [00:32:12] Speaker C: They don't want to do it. And, uh, I walked by priest's pit box, and there's just. [00:32:19] Speaker B: They have stuff, like, just scattered everywhere. [00:32:21] Speaker C: And I. [00:32:22] Speaker B: There's a pit guy there, and I. [00:32:23] Speaker C: Said, you know, can I. I was. [00:32:25] Speaker B: Like, can I have some of this? And his exact words where? He was like, the more you take, the less of this bullshit I gotta put back on the trailer. [00:32:32] Speaker C: And I was like, you ain't got. [00:32:33] Speaker B: To tell me twice. So that was where I. [00:32:35] Speaker C: Yes, sir. [00:32:36] Speaker B: Started collecting and found out about sheet metal was from Ryan Priest. So I have a. I see the 47 on the bumper piece and that nose piece sitting right here in front of me. [00:32:45] Speaker C: So he. He was. Yeah. [00:32:46] Speaker A: You got, like, a surprising number of. [00:32:48] Speaker C: Pieces of that car. Yeah. [00:32:50] Speaker B: So this is the piece. [00:32:51] Speaker A: Isn't there one right behind you? [00:32:52] Speaker B: Yeah. Right. Right here is the piece that started at all. And then if you go on to racing warehouse, you can, like, type in a race and it'll pop up. [00:33:02] Speaker C: You know what they have? [00:33:04] Speaker B: You can just say Talladega or Atlanta or whatever. [00:33:06] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:33:07] Speaker B: And it pops up. What they have, for those of you. [00:33:09] Speaker A: That don't know, go to the racing warehouse if you like NASCAR collectibles. They've got everything from the sheet metal you're talking about to random ball caps, hero cards, pit road uniforms. I mean, road signs. [00:33:23] Speaker C: They got it all. Yeah, it's. [00:33:25] Speaker A: It's incredible. I've definitely given them lots of money over the. Over the years, and they have. [00:33:31] Speaker B: They had Ron, because all the pieces I have, it's. They're all. Other than the front bumper, it's like a bigger ish piece, but all the other pieces were, like, small pieces, you. [00:33:42] Speaker C: Know, like a piece of the fender to piece the. [00:33:44] Speaker B: A frame in a little section of the bumper. Whatever it was, it was. You topped it in. It was from Talladega that fall race. [00:33:52] Speaker C: And they had it labeled out, but it wasn't like a bundle or whatever. Yeah, and it was, say. I want to say it was only. [00:33:59] Speaker B: Like, 100, $150, but that's how I. [00:34:01] Speaker C: Got those three pieces. [00:34:03] Speaker B: And then they had the bumper piece separately because, like I said, it's a little bit bigger. [00:34:07] Speaker C: But I was like, this is cool. Like, I definitely have more pre stuff. [00:34:11] Speaker B: Than anything else because of that. I thought it was cool to. [00:34:14] Speaker A: Yeah, because getting Larson stuff requires a seven figure income. [00:34:20] Speaker B: How much do you think this Larson. [00:34:21] Speaker C: Bumper right here could go for? Oh, the. [00:34:24] Speaker A: So it's a 42 bumper, and it's. [00:34:27] Speaker C: The full bumper, isn't it? No, no, no. [00:34:29] Speaker A: It's just. Just that little piece I can't remember. [00:34:31] Speaker B: Like, the half, like. [00:34:32] Speaker C: Like. [00:34:32] Speaker B: Or maybe like a quarter. [00:34:33] Speaker A: Like a brake light, basically, with the brake light over. [00:34:36] Speaker B: Yeah, it goes over from the brake light. You can see the exhaust, the number, that part of it. [00:34:41] Speaker A: If that went up on the racing warehouse right now, especially for it being. [00:34:44] Speaker C: 42. [00:34:47] Speaker A: Some of his older stuff that's harder to find now, I'd say that piece right there is probably a $600 piece. [00:34:53] Speaker B: I bought this from the racing warehouse. [00:34:55] Speaker C: For $50, which is unbelievable. You'd never see that now, which was. [00:35:00] Speaker B: Awesome back in the day. It was. I bought. Maybe I'm a little bit before the. [00:35:04] Speaker A: Yeah, it's, like, not kidding. The Larson quarter pieces go for what some people's door number goes for. [00:35:11] Speaker B: I'm with. I think it would be very up there and in price, but I've. [00:35:15] Speaker A: I think you could get some offers at five to 600. [00:35:18] Speaker B: Totally the coolest. Just since we're on it, the coolest piece I have is. [00:35:22] Speaker C: It's this. [00:35:23] Speaker B: You can see the top right here. [00:35:25] Speaker C: I have the full Mark Martin Bumper. [00:35:28] Speaker B: When he filled in for Tony Stewart when Tony Stewart broke his back or. [00:35:32] Speaker C: No, when Tony Stewart ran the guy. [00:35:34] Speaker B: Over, he broke his back the year retired. [00:35:36] Speaker C: It is signed and it is dated and has all the certificate shit on the back. Yeah. [00:35:44] Speaker B: So I have a signed full Mark Martin bumper piece that was given to. [00:35:49] Speaker C: Me by Houston Phillips. [00:35:50] Speaker A: Yeah, that's awesome. [00:35:51] Speaker C: That is an awesome piece. [00:35:53] Speaker B: He had a friend that used to work and maybe still does work at. [00:35:57] Speaker C: Stuart Haas and they had maybe it. [00:36:03] Speaker B: Was that race or maybe whatever, but. [00:36:05] Speaker C: He gave him the, this piece and. [00:36:09] Speaker B: Houston had it down in his basement. I mean, it was dirty and covered in all kind of stuff. [00:36:13] Speaker C: And he was like, he was like, he's like, I mean, this is awesome. [00:36:17] Speaker B: And I'd love to have it, but he's like, I know you would way. [00:36:19] Speaker C: More appreciate this than I do. [00:36:22] Speaker B: It would be like, you know, probably. [00:36:23] Speaker C: On display in your house and. [00:36:24] Speaker B: Yeah, he was like, he's like, if you want it, you can have it. So he gave it to me and. [00:36:28] Speaker C: I cleaned it up and there it is. Yeah. [00:36:32] Speaker A: Dang, that's awesome. [00:36:34] Speaker C: I love that story. [00:36:35] Speaker A: Just getting good, good stuff like that given to you is just like, man, you know, you're, you know, you love something when people give you stuff from it. [00:36:42] Speaker C: Yeah, the sheet metal stuff. [00:36:43] Speaker B: We don't keep talking about it, but I mean, it's awesome. It is. It's like the coolest. [00:36:48] Speaker C: Yeah. Like, I don't wrong. [00:36:50] Speaker B: I still, I still buy diecast and. [00:36:53] Speaker C: Everything, but, like, I just didn't know. [00:36:56] Speaker B: But I didn't know that people collected sheet metal as a kid. I didn't know that was a thing. I didn't know how to find it. I didn't know that there was such thing. It's called the racing warehouse. [00:37:03] Speaker C: And then boom, 2019 happened. [00:37:06] Speaker B: And I found that out. [00:37:07] Speaker C: And then, you know, now that I have freaking like ten pieces, I got. This is Ryan Newman. I have two Ryan Newman quarter panels. [00:37:14] Speaker B: This is a 17. Fasten all that. But it was, it was from Ricky. [00:37:18] Speaker C: Stenhouse back in the day. Door panel. Got the Mark Martin. [00:37:23] Speaker B: I got a Ryan Newman be post from his 2019 season. The Ryan priest stuff. [00:37:29] Speaker C: Kyle Larson. So, yeah, I got. Definitely have most pre stuff, though. Yeah, it's just. [00:37:36] Speaker A: It's fun to get it, especially whenever you, you just have the Facebook group. [00:37:39] Speaker C: That they have and if you're in. [00:37:41] Speaker A: It, it just constantly gives you, hey, we got a deal going on here. Hey, we have an auction going on for this piece right there. [00:37:47] Speaker C: And it's everybody and is all working. [00:37:50] Speaker A: Together and talking with each other. [00:37:52] Speaker C: I mean, I actually. [00:37:53] Speaker A: One of my coolest pieces I ended up with was I saw a guy in. I don't know if it was in. [00:38:00] Speaker C: That particular group, but it was in another Facebook group. [00:38:04] Speaker A: This wasn't necessarily sheet metal, but it's a good example of how everybody kind of works together to make sure that. [00:38:09] Speaker C: Everybody gets what they want. I talked to this guy from Anderson. [00:38:13] Speaker A: South Carolina, or somewhere like that. [00:38:15] Speaker B: I think that's old Randy Adams hometown Randy Anderson, South Carolina. [00:38:19] Speaker A: It was somewhere around there, Greenville or Anderson or something in South Carolina, and. [00:38:26] Speaker C: He had posted up that he had a car. [00:38:30] Speaker A: It was Casey Kane's number five win from the brickyard 400 in 2017, which. [00:38:36] Speaker C: Is the first race I ever watched. [00:38:38] Speaker A: And it was the race version with the flag, checkered flag and everything. Well, I found him talking about him having one, so I immediately was just like, no way. I've been looking for this car forever. It can be kind of hard to find. And I. I went on there and immediately bought it, and he sent me a message back within five minutes and. And said, dude, I'm sorry, but I actually just sold it when you paid for it. [00:39:02] Speaker C: And so he sent me my money back, and I was crushed, and I. [00:39:05] Speaker A: Was like, man, that sucks. I've been looking for one of those forever. It was the first race I ever watched. [00:39:08] Speaker C: He's like, okay, give me just a few minutes. [00:39:11] Speaker A: He went on and found someone else. [00:39:14] Speaker C: That had the exact same car and. [00:39:17] Speaker A: Sent me the listing for it and. [00:39:19] Speaker C: Said, hey, I found you another one. [00:39:21] Speaker A: And, I mean, we're talking within a half hour of me paying for his and him returning it, he already had. [00:39:25] Speaker C: Found me another one and sent it over to me. And so I bought it right there. And I told him in the moment. [00:39:30] Speaker A: That he sent that over, and I was like, dude, you ever want to go to a Travis Tritz show, you just let me know, I'll get you some free tickets, because that was awesome, and that's awesome. Now I. [00:39:38] Speaker C: Now I have one. So it's. It's really neat to have stuff like that happen. [00:39:44] Speaker A: And that's the kind of community you have online. So if you're ever interested in finding. [00:39:48] Speaker C: Some good stuff, go follow some racing. Where? [00:39:52] Speaker A: Go follow the racing warehouse. [00:39:53] Speaker C: Get on their Facebook group, start doing. [00:39:55] Speaker A: Everything you can to get in that community, and you'll find some really cool deals every now and then. [00:39:59] Speaker C: It's really neat. Yeah, it really is. Yeah. [00:40:02] Speaker A: And I'm sure there's probably gonna be a few pieces of this race maybe from. Maybe from Austin Cendrick scar, if you're. [00:40:07] Speaker C: A fan of him. [00:40:10] Speaker A: With the way that his whole front end blew up. [00:40:13] Speaker C: Whenever he got wrecked out. [00:40:14] Speaker B: That was a. That was a. That was a real deal. That was a real deal wreck there. [00:40:18] Speaker C: Yeah, no, I was just that it. [00:40:21] Speaker A: Was so crazy because there was only two incidents. I remember that happened kind of getting my attention. It was that one and then the Jimmy Johnson one where Corey La Joy ran over the back of him and. [00:40:33] Speaker C: Knocked him in, which Jimmy. [00:40:34] Speaker B: Who knows? [00:40:35] Speaker C: Maybe there'll be some of their. Yeah, that. [00:40:38] Speaker A: That was a problem. But that was a. That was a wild situation where I think Jimmy's just. He's back in the old car. As soon as you see somebody spinning out, he's letting off. [00:40:48] Speaker C: But I think these guys nowadays, part. [00:40:51] Speaker A: Of the reason why that wreck even happened was because back in the day. [00:40:54] Speaker C: You, track position was important, but it. [00:40:57] Speaker A: Wasn'T like every freaking spot you can ever even come across. You got to take it all. [00:41:01] Speaker C: So I wonder if back in the. [00:41:03] Speaker A: Previous car, coil of joy would have. [00:41:04] Speaker C: Lifted or if he just genuinely didn't. [00:41:07] Speaker A: See that tire smoke. [00:41:07] Speaker C: But, Jimmy, I've looked at the Ancar ten times. I haven't seen puff smoke yet. Oh, I saw it. [00:41:17] Speaker B: It was off. [00:41:17] Speaker A: It was off in the distance. I saw at the moment that they showed the in car camera. [00:41:21] Speaker B: I need somebody to point it out. [00:41:22] Speaker C: Because I hadn't seen it. [00:41:25] Speaker A: I want to say it was Bubba Wallace's car, the teal moneyline car. [00:41:29] Speaker C: He. [00:41:30] Speaker A: He got sidestepped out trying to race somebody else. It caused a puff of smoke. And I think Jimmy saw that and. [00:41:35] Speaker C: Was just like, oh, shoot. And shut her down. [00:41:38] Speaker A: But it was a little. [00:41:40] Speaker C: It's a. [00:41:41] Speaker A: It's a. It's a hard one. I don't know if I can really say whether that was Jimmy. [00:41:44] Speaker C: I don't fault. [00:41:45] Speaker B: I don't understand because you have. [00:41:48] Speaker C: Okay, so on the broadcast, they say. [00:41:52] Speaker B: There'S a puff of smoke, then they backtrack and say they don't know if. [00:41:54] Speaker C: There'S a puff of smoke. [00:41:56] Speaker B: You have Cora Joy, who says that the Jimmy Johnson just completely let off. And then you have Jimmy Johnson's post race interview or after the wreck interview, and he just says he was letting. [00:42:05] Speaker C: Off normally to get in the corner. So I was like, I don't. [00:42:08] Speaker B: I don't know what happened. Fox doesn't have any view other than the in car view of the wreck. [00:42:13] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:42:14] Speaker C: So there's no. There's no way to, like, actually know what happened. In the, in that wreck, other than. [00:42:23] Speaker B: Just speculating like we are right now and being like, well, there might have been. [00:42:27] Speaker A: I'll put words in Jimmy Johnson's mouth right now. [00:42:30] Speaker B: I like speculating, but I also like speculating when it's like, okay, here's a clear view of the wreck. [00:42:36] Speaker C: You tell me what you saw happen. Yeah. [00:42:39] Speaker B: Not like here's a in car camera that NASCAR installs. It's not like the Fox like in car camera. It's the one that all the cars have now. [00:42:48] Speaker C: Yeah. And it's like, without those in car camera, dude. [00:42:52] Speaker B: Just this year specifically. And I'm pretty sure those in car cameras are all for, like, safety reasons and such because every car has one now. And NASCAR posts them on like, social media and they can use them for all their stuff as well. But, like, without those in car cameras, like, literally that just started in the last two years. [00:43:09] Speaker C: So, like, without those, Fox would have missed so much stuff this year. They already do miss so much. So they miss everything if it doesn't happen in the top ten, I feel like. And I think the only reason legit. [00:43:24] Speaker B: If it wouldn't have been in the bubble. [00:43:25] Speaker C: Wallace Denny Hamlin, Cendrick McDowell rec the. [00:43:30] Speaker B: Only reason there was a camera in. [00:43:31] Speaker C: That vicinity is because it was Denny Hamlin. You put that being whoever else, any. [00:43:38] Speaker B: Other driver, that's the car that's getting loose washing up the track. [00:43:41] Speaker C: I don't know if they would have had that either. [00:43:43] Speaker A: Never would have seen it. Never would even known. [00:43:46] Speaker B: They haven't shown. There's not a replay of that wreck that happened at the end and freaking. [00:43:49] Speaker C: Austin Dylan hit the wall head on. [00:43:52] Speaker A: Yeah, I didn't even know that Dawson Dylan hit the wall head on. To be perfectly, flat out honest with. [00:43:56] Speaker B: You, at the end of the race. [00:43:59] Speaker A: I didn't even know there was a wreck. [00:44:00] Speaker B: Exactly. Mike Joyce says Corey Haim is like spinning out behind them, but if you go back, you can't see it, you cannot get a clear view. But Tyler Reddick knocks the absolute shit out of the three car coming to the checkered flag. And I haven't seen how Corey Haim gets spun yet, but the three car noses it head on into the outside wall. [00:44:20] Speaker C: No one's got a video of that anywhere. [00:44:22] Speaker A: Yeah, I, unless it's a fan video. What they always do, man. That was one thing we haven't gotten down to really talking about, though, is the actual finish of the entire race. [00:44:34] Speaker C: Let's talk about it. I'm not going to lie. It could have finished under green when. [00:44:40] Speaker A: Truex was trying to pass Hamlin, or it could have done the green white checkered that we ended up actually getting. And I think you had a phenomenal end of that race both ways. [00:44:50] Speaker C: It was. [00:44:51] Speaker A: I was watching Truex come up there with, what was it, like, eight to. [00:44:55] Speaker C: Go, six to go, coming up to Denny Hamlin. [00:44:58] Speaker A: And I'm thinking the entire time, like. [00:45:00] Speaker C: Truec'S going to get him. Truex is definitely going to get him. [00:45:03] Speaker A: But once you get out in that clean air and the other guys having to chase you, it's like there was all of a sudden a rabbit in. [00:45:08] Speaker C: Front of the car in second. And I don't know. [00:45:10] Speaker A: I don't know what he had pulled. [00:45:11] Speaker C: Away, what he had not, but how. [00:45:13] Speaker B: Hard, I don't know what Jenny would. [00:45:16] Speaker C: Have, Denny would have done, but for. [00:45:18] Speaker B: 100% fact, the 19 was catching him. [00:45:21] Speaker C: At a very high rate of speed. Yeah. [00:45:23] Speaker A: And it was going to be awesome. And then boom, you get that caution. [00:45:27] Speaker C: Comes out and totally changes up the. [00:45:29] Speaker A: Race once again, where that damn strategy. [00:45:32] Speaker C: Comes around into play and it puts. [00:45:34] Speaker A: The 17 back up in the front. [00:45:36] Speaker C: And it was just the strategy element. [00:45:39] Speaker A: Added on top of the. The drama that was already going on. [00:45:42] Speaker C: With the race was huge. [00:45:45] Speaker A: I mean, it just added a whole nother layer to it. I mean, I had no clue who's going to win that race all the. [00:45:50] Speaker C: Way till the end. Yeah, I mean, that was the best. [00:45:51] Speaker B: Part was, like we said earlier, just. [00:45:53] Speaker C: Had, you know, everything. And then when. [00:45:59] Speaker B: I, like, said, I always say this, but, you know, I'm not making, I'm not making the calls on pit road. I'm not smart enough to make calls on pit road. But, like, at the end there when you have guys freaking. [00:46:09] Speaker C: Todd Dillon Gillen was running in the. [00:46:13] Speaker B: Top ten with tires that had been on his car for. Since the beginning of stage three. [00:46:19] Speaker C: Yes. Yeah. I thought they had 180 laps on them. [00:46:22] Speaker B: Was it lap 180, whatever it was. [00:46:25] Speaker A: The last time that he changed those, he had a for that. [00:46:30] Speaker C: But on his, on his, on his right sides and coming down pit road at the end, you couldn't have paid. [00:46:38] Speaker B: Me to take four tires. You know, I heard, I heard when as soon as they called vegetable to Denny Hamlin and he. The only is because of how much. [00:46:51] Speaker C: That Denny talks about hating two tires. [00:46:54] Speaker B: But they call a two tire call, and then he's like, okay, okay, well, he got it. [00:47:01] Speaker A: He literally said. [00:47:02] Speaker C: I was like, he's taking two tires. Denny gave it away. [00:47:06] Speaker B: Not a good pug. [00:47:07] Speaker A: Just gotta eat your vegetables. [00:47:09] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:47:10] Speaker B: Not a good pugger face for Denny. Cause he gave it away. [00:47:12] Speaker C: But, yeah, it was Larson and Bush. Or did they take two or four? [00:47:17] Speaker A: I'd have to go back and check it out. I couldn't tell you. [00:47:20] Speaker B: I think they took two. I think those guys in the front ended up taking two. [00:47:24] Speaker A: I don't see anybody not taking two and being that far up front. [00:47:27] Speaker B: Yeah, because I think Kez took four and he was in, like 15th, 16th. [00:47:35] Speaker C: Yeah, something like that. So that's what I'm saying. You. [00:47:37] Speaker B: I was like, you couldn't have paid me to take four tires in that. [00:47:40] Speaker A: Situation unless I was back there, like you said. [00:47:43] Speaker C: Same as Hamlin pitting at Martinsville. Yep. [00:47:46] Speaker B: You couldn't have paid me to come. [00:47:48] Speaker C: Down pit road at Martinsville. Yeah, you'd had to kept me out there. [00:47:52] Speaker A: But, I mean, that's. That was part of it. And then it. Next thing you know, it's the five and the 17 battling for the win. [00:47:58] Speaker B: And then coming in on the last lap, I was. I was like, bush is going to win this race. Bush is going to win this race. And then Larson somehow made it. [00:48:07] Speaker C: He had a car link, car width between the wall and Busher coming out of turn. [00:48:11] Speaker B: Coming out of the turn or going into the turn to make that move. [00:48:15] Speaker C: And when it stuck, I was like, he's going to have momentum, and then it, like, kind of stalls out, you. [00:48:24] Speaker B: Know, like, he kind of. He kind of. He did have the momentum, but it kind of stalls out. [00:48:29] Speaker C: And then they beat and bang across the line. And Busher, we thought one, and then. [00:48:38] Speaker B: They don't figure out the winner until. [00:48:40] Speaker C: Turn three, which was great. [00:48:42] Speaker B: I mean, it was cool. I I would have been happy with Chris Buscher winning that race. Just like, Kylos. Like, he was like, I was just fine. [00:48:49] Speaker C: Like, he's like, that was so awesome. [00:48:52] Speaker B: That was. [00:48:52] Speaker A: He had so much fun. He didn't care if he won. [00:48:55] Speaker C: Yeah. So. And, I mean, obviously, we love RFK. [00:49:01] Speaker B: Or one of our great best friends works at RFK. Like, I'm all in RFK. [00:49:05] Speaker C: I'd have been totally pumped if Bush wins that race. Yeah. [00:49:10] Speaker A: I love the fact that all the way through the post race interview to Chris, buster's sitting there saying, I mean, I've seen a photo, but I don't. [00:49:17] Speaker B: Know if I showed the photo. [00:49:19] Speaker A: I know I was loving that Brandon got some tv time last night, and he's showing him the photo, and everybody just looks pissed off, like they're not believing it. [00:49:27] Speaker C: Yeah. And it's like, man, I get it. [00:49:28] Speaker B: I get it. [00:49:29] Speaker C: Because those I'm with, whoever it was. [00:49:31] Speaker A: That said it, we need to get. [00:49:33] Speaker C: Something better to film the end of. [00:49:36] Speaker A: These races than a frame by frame of the fuzziest ghost car looking crap on the start finish line. Because you're talking about. We've had two races finished that close. [00:49:45] Speaker C: And to be perfectly honest with you. [00:49:48] Speaker A: The first time that they showed, I don't know if they had, like, a. [00:49:51] Speaker C: Different frame selected, but the first time. [00:49:54] Speaker A: They showed the finish in slow mo, I was like, that's still a tie. I still can't see who wins that race. [00:50:01] Speaker C: And I don't know if they have. [00:50:02] Speaker A: Like, two different cameras, so they get two different frames or something. [00:50:05] Speaker C: But the second one showing him actually in front is the one that finally clears it up. [00:50:10] Speaker A: But it took him a solid two minutes to find you a good photo that said, like, hey, this is exactly. [00:50:14] Speaker C: Who won the race. Yeah. [00:50:15] Speaker A: And get a better, like, high speed camera. [00:50:18] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:50:19] Speaker C: I mean, I 100% agree. [00:50:21] Speaker B: But until NASCAR showed the camera that had, like, a red line and a. [00:50:24] Speaker C: Black line on it, it was from. [00:50:26] Speaker B: Like, the inside wall, like, from, like, whatever angle. Pit road, you know, pit road, side of what things. Then you can see where the black lines are and everything. And if you take the. Your phone and, like, zoom in and, like, slide it over toward the lines, like, make sure everything's, you know, like. [00:50:41] Speaker C: In line and not off. [00:50:43] Speaker B: Did you see all the stuff about. [00:50:45] Speaker C: About the finish line being crooked? No, I didn't. [00:50:49] Speaker B: Okay. This is the most. The finish lines crooked. Dude, the finish line is crooked. There is more white paint on top of the track where Larson is than. [00:51:02] Speaker C: Where Bush was on the bottom. [00:51:03] Speaker A: Oh, gosh. [00:51:05] Speaker C: So. [00:51:05] Speaker B: So go to Jeff Gluck's page and look what. [00:51:08] Speaker C: Look at all the stuff. Look at. [00:51:10] Speaker B: RFK made a post about it, and then Jeff Gluck makes a whole video you probably can't watch right now. It's like, a minute and a half long trying to explain the situation. But then NASCAR says that the pit, that the line does not matter. [00:51:22] Speaker C: It's about a line on this, like. [00:51:24] Speaker B: Laser camera they have that, like, shoots down the thing. Okay, so then Jeff Gluck makes another post, and it's like, this yellow line that leads the pit road and then is in line with the finish line. [00:51:38] Speaker A: Yep, I see it. [00:51:39] Speaker B: Okay, the yellow. Go to my page. The yellow line that Jeff Gluck posts ain't straight either. [00:51:44] Speaker A: Oh, the one that I'm looking at, the quiet track Kansas post he had. It's pretty close up. To the top of his list. And I think he specifically took this picture along that line just to get people talking. [00:51:55] Speaker B: He does a whole thread thing about this. [00:51:58] Speaker C: Yeah, it. [00:51:58] Speaker A: It looks like a three year old drew the start finish line. It really does. [00:52:02] Speaker B: So this is my next favorite part. They gave a yellow line down pit road, and then they have a line. If it is clear enough with your eye to be like, that line is not in line with the start finish line. And what I'm saying is, like, if you take your cell phone and scoot the picture over to, like, the line on your, like, the side of your phone, that's your most, like, level piece to look at, the yellow line is. [00:52:22] Speaker C: It looks like it's a foot off. [00:52:24] Speaker B: From what the start finish line is. And then NAScaR is like, this is not. The lines don't matter. These lines couldn't even be here. It's all about this laser that goes across the racetrack. [00:52:34] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:52:35] Speaker B: That's the first time I've ever heard that. They always got something to say, always got an aunt. They have an answer for everything, which they do. Been that way forever. [00:52:44] Speaker C: But I was. [00:52:46] Speaker B: I was like, what in the hell do we got? [00:52:48] Speaker C: This? I don't know. [00:52:51] Speaker B: It was cracking me up, though, because the start finish line is not straight, is all. [00:52:56] Speaker A: Get out. [00:52:57] Speaker B: It's closer to turn four. Like, not. It's literally about foot, like, closer to turn four. That's what it looks like. [00:53:02] Speaker C: The difference is. Yeah, and it's just, like, so funny. [00:53:06] Speaker A: But I would never known. [00:53:07] Speaker C: They post the picture where the lasers are, and Larson looks like he's in front, but it also looks like, because of the way the nose of the. [00:53:20] Speaker B: Chevrolets poke out just a hair and the flat like this, it looks like that gives him an advantage. [00:53:26] Speaker A: Just sticking his tongue out at the start finish line. [00:53:29] Speaker B: I mean, pretty much, but that's what it looks like. It looks like the Chevrolet has an. [00:53:33] Speaker C: Advantage on the nose. I I just. It was, it was a tie, dude. [00:53:39] Speaker B: It was a freaking. As close to a tie as you could. [00:53:42] Speaker A: I mean, if it wasn't for electronic scoring, it would have had to have been a tie. They'd have been arguing about that for. [00:53:46] Speaker C: The rest of time trying to figure. [00:53:49] Speaker A: Out who won that race. [00:53:51] Speaker C: I was. [00:53:51] Speaker B: That was. [00:53:52] Speaker A: It was incredible. It was crazy NASCAr history, and we. [00:53:55] Speaker C: Just got to witness it. [00:53:57] Speaker A: I don't need it to be that close every week, but, damn, it was. [00:53:59] Speaker C: Kind of cool to see it. Yeah. [00:54:01] Speaker B: I can't believe we've had that. [00:54:02] Speaker C: And Atlanta. Yeah. [00:54:04] Speaker B: I just wanted to throw out here, too. I try to throw this out here as much as possible, but, like, talking about how there's more people talking about racing and such. So yesterday, I'm talking on the phone. My dad, my mom, and my sister, they're doing the fantasy thing. I'm talking on the phone with them, and I looked down in between people that had texted me about the interaction. I mean, Matt Burrell text us in a group chat. Me, you, and Steven are texting a group chat. [00:54:27] Speaker C: My dad had texted me. [00:54:29] Speaker B: Mom and Megan are texting me. And, uh, all these other people are just like, matt Haas texted me. [00:54:36] Speaker C: People were just like, dude, did you see this? [00:54:38] Speaker B: Like, what a finish. I had 32 text messages while I was, like, talking on the phone with. [00:54:43] Speaker C: Megan and mom about baby, about the. [00:54:45] Speaker B: End of the race. [00:54:46] Speaker C: Like, that's how everyone is. Just like, holy shit. [00:54:51] Speaker B: Like, I can't believe this, you know? [00:54:52] Speaker C: Yeah, absolutely. [00:54:54] Speaker B: I want to bring it up anytime I can that, like, people, you know. [00:54:57] Speaker C: Or people are watching. I mean, people are watching. I love it. I love it. [00:55:02] Speaker B: And they're letting us and, you know, know about it. [00:55:05] Speaker C: Yes, they are. [00:55:06] Speaker A: And I love every bit of it. Keep it coming. Keep it coming. Well, since we're getting on close to the end here, you got any nominations. [00:55:15] Speaker C: For your hack of the week? Of the week? I don't. [00:55:25] Speaker B: I'm trying to think, do I have any good hack of the weeks? Going with Fox is just too easy. I go with Fox every single weekend. [00:55:32] Speaker A: Yeah, that's too easy. [00:55:34] Speaker B: Trying to think if I saw anything. [00:55:37] Speaker C: That just, like, blew me away. [00:55:43] Speaker B: Randy texted me and told me that hack of the week should have been. [00:55:46] Speaker C: Busher's pit crew for fucking him at. [00:55:49] Speaker A: The very, very much. Could have been. [00:55:52] Speaker B: But it ended up working out. [00:55:54] Speaker A: Yeah, they ended up finishing second, so they were all right by the end of it. [00:55:57] Speaker B: I assume that tear off. [00:55:58] Speaker C: Blew off into the. Into the wind somewhere. They were watching for it. I don't. [00:56:04] Speaker B: I don't. I mean, Fox is my go to. That's so easy. I don't know. I don't remember. I don't know if I have anything. [00:56:09] Speaker C: Just, like, burning a hole in my pocket. My hack of the week is a. [00:56:14] Speaker A: Little bit of a. Kind of just a funny one because I'm with you. There's not very many things to really point at and say, like, that's definitely. [00:56:21] Speaker C: It, but my hack of the week. [00:56:23] Speaker A: Has definitely got to be. [00:56:25] Speaker C: Brandon sent us a post that the RFK account made on Twitter, and it was just Brad making fun of Kyle Busch very casually. [00:56:36] Speaker A: Just grabbing a pack of peanut m and Ms, pulling them out and saying. [00:56:39] Speaker C: Dang, I can finally eat these again. [00:56:44] Speaker A: I don't eat these again because they don't sponsor Kalbush anymore. [00:56:48] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:56:49] Speaker A: And it was just funny. It was like such a casual thing. And they added Kyle Busch on it and just, you know, poking fun at each other. They've always kind of given each other crap and go back to Bristol a. [00:56:58] Speaker C: Long time ago and, you know, they. [00:57:03] Speaker A: He says that, and then in the comments, a bunch of Kyle Busch fans just start coming at him. I mean, coming for the jugular, too, saying, how many wins do you have since you bought RFK? [00:57:13] Speaker C: And, oh, let's talk to you whenever. [00:57:15] Speaker A: You'Re a two time champion, Brad Keselowski. [00:57:18] Speaker C: And he's like, oh, what about the. [00:57:19] Speaker A: Miller lights that Kyle Busch can finally drink again? And it was so funny that they. [00:57:23] Speaker C: Got so butthurt for a guy that. [00:57:25] Speaker A: Used to be the Candyman. He has some awful salty fans. [00:57:28] Speaker C: That's all I know. [00:57:30] Speaker B: Salted caramel M and Ms. Yeah, he. [00:57:32] Speaker A: It was, it was just funny. So my hack of the week is overwhelmingly negative. Kyle Busch fans that just want to get offended by anything that gets said something about anybody that used to be a Joe Gibbs racing has a bunch of salty fans. [00:57:48] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah. [00:57:51] Speaker A: I mean, so those are my hack of the weeks. Negative comments about people making fun of Kyle Busch. It's hilarious. I can just tell y'all are just, y'all get beat up at the racetrack. [00:58:00] Speaker C: Every week and that's part of it. [00:58:03] Speaker A: You're just Kyle Busch fan. [00:58:04] Speaker C: I have a good one. [00:58:06] Speaker B: Everyone that said that the end of the race was on Twitter, that said the end of the race was dirty driving and they wish they could have seen the win without Larson and the 17 door slamming each other. [00:58:19] Speaker A: Oh, that was awesome. [00:58:21] Speaker B: That's my hat. Those are, people are my hack of the week. [00:58:23] Speaker C: Because if, if you do not like. [00:58:27] Speaker B: 3400 pound race cars beating and banging and rubbing fenders and all the things. [00:58:33] Speaker C: That NASCAR, there's less bumping and banging now than there's ever been, ever. Yeah. [00:58:40] Speaker B: If you don't like that, go watch the Kentucky Derby or go watch Formula one or go watch Badminton. Do something different. Don't get on there. Someone literally said like, I wish Larson. [00:58:54] Speaker C: Could have done that without hitting the 17 car. And I'm just like, what? That's, that's bad. [00:59:04] Speaker A: Take. [00:59:04] Speaker B: That's my hack. [00:59:05] Speaker C: Those are my hacks of the week. [00:59:07] Speaker B: And even Busher gets out of the car and makes posts on Twitter. He's like, that is. That is good, hard racing. Like, he literally said something about, like, beating doors is like, what racing is all about. [00:59:20] Speaker A: It is you're fighting for the damn win. [00:59:22] Speaker C: Like, that is like that would have. [00:59:26] Speaker A: Happened in any racing series. If they come off the last corner that close, there's going to be some kind of contact where they're trying to one up each other. [00:59:33] Speaker B: I mean, just think about, like, I just brought up Kentucky in 2019. The brothers beating and banging each other that race. They're beating and banging each other. I don't know if everybody remembers, but in 2020, when freaking Ryan Blaney doors. Eric Jones so hard coming to the finish line. Eric Jones hit the wall almost head on at the start finish line. [00:59:51] Speaker C: He hit him so hard, his damn front wheels came off the ground. Oh, yeah. It's like part of it. It's part of it. [00:59:56] Speaker B: Like, people are like, that is literally. [00:59:59] Speaker C: What makes NASCAR so cool and different. [01:00:04] Speaker B: Or not just NASCaR. [01:00:06] Speaker C: Any car with fenders on it is. [01:00:08] Speaker B: That's what makes it so cool and. [01:00:09] Speaker C: Different than other series. [01:00:12] Speaker B: Like, that's what it was literally born and bred on. So. [01:00:16] Speaker A: And to be honest, I don't like Larson wins that race. I think Carson Kyle Larson wins that race by way more if he doesn't beat and bang with him. [01:00:26] Speaker C: I think he actually gave himself a. [01:00:28] Speaker A: Bit of a disadvantage during him like that. [01:00:30] Speaker C: I think he had a lot more momentum. So at the end of the day. [01:00:34] Speaker A: I don't even think it's. All it did was help the finish of the race. It didn't even hurt anything. It wasn't like Chris Bush was about to get this huge run. I think he honestly evened up the. [01:00:42] Speaker C: Score by beating and banging the way he did. Yeah. So, yeah, that's my. [01:00:48] Speaker A: It was awesome. [01:00:49] Speaker B: That's. There we go. I took me. [01:00:51] Speaker A: Let's go to Kansas a lot more. We want to be back in Kansas again. [01:00:55] Speaker C: Toto, guess what we got next week, though. Darlington. [01:00:59] Speaker B: Darlington, baby. [01:01:00] Speaker C: Throw. [01:01:01] Speaker A: You want to talk about some trading paint? We're about to get some trading paint. [01:01:04] Speaker B: Another banger of a race. [01:01:06] Speaker C: Yeah, absolutely. [01:01:08] Speaker A: This season comes in waves. It's just banger after banger and then just, you know, dry track after dry track. [01:01:14] Speaker C: It just. [01:01:14] Speaker B: We went through a little part of the season. [01:01:16] Speaker C: We are. Yeah. [01:01:17] Speaker B: I had to go through a little dry spell there with some of the short tracks in Dover. You come, you have Talladega and then, you know, go to go to come here. It's like there, somebody was saying, like the month of May in NASCAR, racing is the greatest month there is because. [01:01:32] Speaker C: Like, every race is going to be incredible. So let's give the people a little. [01:01:40] Speaker B: Bit of what to look for at Darlington. [01:01:43] Speaker A: Oh, gosh, people. [01:01:46] Speaker B: Eric Jones. [01:01:47] Speaker C: I have made. I've made the. [01:01:50] Speaker B: The statement on here. Eric Jones could drive a horse and. [01:01:52] Speaker C: Buggy fast at dope at Darlington. Yeah. [01:01:57] Speaker A: So do really well there. [01:01:59] Speaker B: The only thing that scares me, though, is we know how drivers coming off back injuries driving race cars, and they do not. [01:02:08] Speaker C: They suck. [01:02:09] Speaker A: It's going to be probably the hardest. [01:02:11] Speaker C: One he's ever had. And so that's my. [01:02:16] Speaker B: Only concern about. [01:02:17] Speaker C: Eric Jones is that he's coming off a big injury. [01:02:22] Speaker B: You know, we've seen it with Bowman last year. We saw it with Denny Hammond back in the day. We seen Eric Amarola, which Eric Omaro wasn't good before his back injury. [01:02:30] Speaker C: So just gotta throw that out there. [01:02:33] Speaker A: Golly, I love it. [01:02:36] Speaker C: Well, I think you're gonna have Denny Hamlin true racing. [01:02:40] Speaker B: Kyle Larson. [01:02:42] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:02:42] Speaker A: Your typical. I mean, right now, this, this year, Hendricks and Joe Gibbs are just so far out in front of the field. [01:02:49] Speaker C: It'S gonna be one of those eight. [01:02:50] Speaker A: It just feels like every frickin time. [01:02:52] Speaker C: Totally. Here we are again. Kylerson just won. That's a Hendrick win. [01:02:57] Speaker A: Going to another track they're really good. [01:02:58] Speaker C: At just to do really good here. [01:03:02] Speaker B: The only race that a Hendrick or Gibbs car has not won this year wasn't lana with dinosaurs. [01:03:07] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:03:07] Speaker A: So, I mean, no reason to think that that trend is going to buck itself anytime soon. I'd say look for your guys that have been around for a while or your guys that are just exceptionally talented. [01:03:16] Speaker C: So you're looking at your Denny's, you're. [01:03:18] Speaker A: Looking at your true exes. Larson, for sure. Chase Elliott sometimes can do really well here. [01:03:24] Speaker C: Sometimes he does very average here. [01:03:27] Speaker A: But it's going to be one of those eight guys. [01:03:29] Speaker C: I don't. [01:03:30] Speaker A: I don't think I see Ty Gibbs getting his first win at Darlington. [01:03:32] Speaker C: I think that'd be a shocker. [01:03:34] Speaker B: Me too. [01:03:36] Speaker A: So I would avoid him, but, I mean, that still leaves you with seven really good picks. [01:03:40] Speaker C: So. [01:03:42] Speaker A: Man, it's just going to be fun. It's going to be a lot of. Lot of beating and banging and three and four and a lot of people getting squirrely and loose off of two. It's. It's just going to be a wild ride. [01:03:53] Speaker C: And I'm. [01:03:53] Speaker A: I'm always excited to go back to Darlington. You're going to have a lot of very beautiful race cars. [01:03:58] Speaker B: Darlington is a racetrack through. Since the beginning of time, through every package, through everything NASCAR has thrown at. [01:04:06] Speaker C: Darlington and these cars, Darlington always prevails. Yeah. [01:04:11] Speaker A: There's just a hard enough track. [01:04:13] Speaker C: Yeah, it's just so hard. The tires wear out. [01:04:19] Speaker B: Four tire stops every stop. Like, it's just that kind of racetrack. And it is exceptional every. [01:04:25] Speaker C: Every time. I mean, it held the closest finish. [01:04:29] Speaker B: Ever up until yesterday, for 21 or 22 years. [01:04:32] Speaker C: Yep. [01:04:33] Speaker B: 21 from zero three to 2004. [01:04:35] Speaker C: So, yeah. Yeah, they. [01:04:38] Speaker B: Darlington has stood the test of time. It's also the oldest track in NASCAR. So, yeah, it might be Martensville might be the oldest. [01:04:47] Speaker C: That might be. [01:04:48] Speaker A: Get ready to hear about the minnow pond. They're going to talk about that at. [01:04:51] Speaker C: Least four times with the egg shape of the track. [01:04:55] Speaker A: They say it every year. You're going to hear it again. [01:04:57] Speaker C: Just get ready. But, man, it's going to be a great time. [01:05:02] Speaker A: I'm really looking forward to it. [01:05:03] Speaker B: It's going to be. It's going to be a great race. [01:05:05] Speaker A: Yeah, absolutely. So if I had to make a pick, though, I think I'm going to. [01:05:10] Speaker C: Call it for a William Byron win. [01:05:14] Speaker A: I just, you know, as much as I hate to say it, and as much as those wins are usually just not the most exciting wins, he usually goes out there and dominates them, and he's just been on such a hot streak this year. [01:05:24] Speaker C: I could. [01:05:25] Speaker A: I could totally see him going back there and getting another win and getting. [01:05:27] Speaker C: Back on the lead for numbers and win in the year. So I think I'm calling this one for William Byron. Yeah, I'm still. [01:05:34] Speaker B: I'm sticking with. [01:05:35] Speaker C: I'm sticking with Larsen or Hamlin. [01:05:37] Speaker A: I could see that, too. So there's your. There's your top three. [01:05:41] Speaker B: I'm Cherry pick. I'm cherry picking. But, I mean, it's. It's very easy, but sometimes you just. [01:05:46] Speaker A: Got to do that, and then, hopefully. [01:05:48] Speaker B: Yeah, both of those guys are just exceptional at. [01:05:51] Speaker C: At Darlington, so I don't really see that changing. And they've both. [01:05:56] Speaker B: They've been exceptional at Darlington. And old cars, xfinity cars, this car. It doesn't matter. They've all won in this car at Darlington. [01:06:03] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:06:03] Speaker B: They've all led a bunch of laps. [01:06:04] Speaker C: In this car at Darlington. I don't. [01:06:06] Speaker B: Has William Byron won in this car at Darlington? I remember when Logano put him in the wall. [01:06:11] Speaker A: I don't know that he has, but I know that he always races extremely well here. Yeah. [01:06:14] Speaker B: I just. [01:06:15] Speaker A: The way that he's just getting better and better as the years ago on, I just can totally see this being. [01:06:20] Speaker C: Somewhere where he goes and just knocks off a really good win. Yeah, let's do it, though. [01:06:26] Speaker B: Let's get. [01:06:27] Speaker A: Let's do it. [01:06:28] Speaker B: Let's make it. Let's get it going. [01:06:29] Speaker A: I'm ready to have another good weekend racing. We got a couple shows with the trick crew coming up. We were off this weekend, but we're going to your hometown of Rome, Georgia, for rock the country fest. [01:06:38] Speaker C: This year or this weekend? Yep. [01:06:40] Speaker A: And I think it's Columbia, South Carolina after that. [01:06:44] Speaker C: It is. [01:06:45] Speaker A: So we had a. We had an easy two day weekend. Then we're off on Sunday, coming back home to watch the race. [01:06:50] Speaker B: My birthday is also this weekend. I turned. [01:06:52] Speaker A: Yeah, your birthday is Thursday. [01:06:54] Speaker C: Yeah. Happy birthday, Edwards. Yeah, my birthday. [01:07:00] Speaker B: So that'll be. Yeah, literally, Brandon Lee, just text me and you in this podcast while we were talking and says, wait, dawson, you got a tt show in Rome this weekend? You know it literally sitting here while we said that. It's in 1225 right now. [01:07:17] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:07:18] Speaker A: That is amazing. [01:07:19] Speaker C: Yep. [01:07:19] Speaker A: I just saw it come through. [01:07:21] Speaker B: That's hilarious. [01:07:21] Speaker A: Yeah, we do. Gonna go out there and have a damn good time. [01:07:26] Speaker B: I'm gonna say, yes, sir. We are literally talking about it right now. [01:07:31] Speaker C: There you go, man. [01:07:33] Speaker A: That's hilarious. [01:07:33] Speaker C: What. [01:07:33] Speaker A: What wild timing that was. [01:07:37] Speaker C: But yeah. [01:07:37] Speaker A: So we'll. We'll see y'all out there. If you need me, I'll probably be trying to show Dawson to the catering tent. He has a hard time of finding. [01:07:46] Speaker C: These places whenever we're at these festivals. Maybe. Maybe everything will look familiar. [01:07:52] Speaker A: Maybe. Maybe it won't. [01:07:55] Speaker C: That's so funny. Maybe it'll be the first one we did rock, so, yeah, maybe we'll have rock. It's gonna be a wild time. [01:08:04] Speaker A: I'm very much looking forward to it. [01:08:06] Speaker B: Travis and Kid Rock played a show. [01:08:07] Speaker C: Together this weekend and the Kentucky Derby, so. [01:08:11] Speaker A: Oh, dang, that have been a wild time. Kentucky Derby is turning into a redneck. [01:08:15] Speaker C: Heaven, I think Kentucky Derby's always been redneck heaven. For what? [01:08:20] Speaker A: I'm gonna go to the. I'm gonna go to redneck purgatory and just stick with Taldega, though. Yeah, they go a little faster. And there's 700 and 550 horses per car. [01:08:30] Speaker C: So that sounds like a little bit of an upgrade to me. [01:08:33] Speaker A: But anyway, I can't sit here and judge it. I don't have a hat big enough.
