• 0:00
  Happy Monday morning, everybody from Coke.
• 0:03
  OK, Check this beautiful island out.
• 0:08
  Look at that. Huh?
• 0:11
  That's nice. All right, all right, let's head
• 0:21
  on into the room here so the people on the balcony don't hear
• 0:26
  me and I don't aggravate them. It's OK for them to talk, but
• 0:31
  not me. All right, man, oh, man.
• 0:36
  I'm going to tell you what we got a lot to talk about.
• 0:40
  Let's let's close the door here. Oh, you want to see the room, do
• 0:46
  you? OK, well, Kim said don't show
• 0:51
  me. All right, so got a nice little
• 0:54
  room here. Everybody want to see the
• 0:58
  legendary room? Yeah, we got a nice little
• 1:04
  balcony room. Must be nice.
• 1:06
  I have all that NASCAR money. I can't afford the balcony room.
• 1:11
  My rooms, all I got is a porthole in the bottom.
• 1:16
  Well, you don't spend no time in your room anyway, so, hey,
• 1:20
  listen, I've heard it all. I've heard it all.
• 1:24
  People are just people. Justify everything.
• 1:26
  Well, when you get older, you like to wake up in the morning
• 1:30
  and look out, but it don't matter where you're at.
• 1:33
  It don't matter where you're at. If you're down on the damn 4th
• 1:36
  floor and you got a little port window, you're out here having a
• 1:40
  good time. So as long hey, it's like I had
• 1:45
  a buddy of mine and we had a motorcycle and I said, should I
• 1:49
  buy a Harley or a Suzuki? And he goes, brother, as long as
• 1:54
  you riding and that's the way the cruise ship is.
• 1:58
  Where's your room at? It don't matter, baby, as long
• 2:01
  as you're on the ship, OK? I got my notes.
• 2:09
  I got my notes. We're going to talk about a lot
• 2:13
  today. And I used Kim's phone.
• 2:19
  We got Keelan Harvick. We got Harvick talking about.
• 2:22
  He's the gatekeeper, but he's not the crew chief.
• 2:25
  Lando Norris outruns Max Verstappen by two points, and we
• 2:31
  got the Dome race. Let's go with Keelan Harvick
• 2:35
  first. This kid is a child, but he's
• 2:39
  already a man. Delano Harvick put a nice little
• 2:47
  short video out on Instagram and basically I think it shows.
• 2:54
  I think it shows Keelan or I it could have been the daughter,
• 2:57
  but I'm not sure. No, it was it was definitely
• 3:00
  Keelan just basically remembering these moments
• 3:03
  because he's growing up so fast. He was basically the little
• 3:06
  video was like he was a basketball player or something
• 3:08
  like that. But I I did get it.
• 3:11
  Delana was saying, man, it's going so fast.
• 3:14
  Keelan Harvick quickly becoming one of the greatest race car
• 3:18
  drivers of all time. Oh yeah.
• 3:21
  Oh yeah, I said it and he's only 13 years old.
• 3:26
  This kid is shocking the world, not America, because Kevin and
• 3:31
  Delana sent him over into Europe early in his career to learn how
• 3:36
  to drive, be a great go Kart racer.
• 3:40
  So they are. They're giving Keelan all the
• 3:43
  tools to be great. And at 13 years old, what does
• 3:48
  he do in Pensacola, FL? He wins the Snowflake.
• 3:53
  Now the Snowflake has as many entries as the Snowball Derby
• 3:58
  does. Snowflake is a tough ass, you
• 4:02
  know, sanctioning division. But he starts mid pack.
• 4:09
  And I watched, I watched it. And he came through that field
• 4:13
  so beautifully. Even Kevin Harvick, the father
• 4:17
  said, you know, he made some great moves and I kept some
• 4:20
  distance between him and cars that he needed to before he made
• 4:23
  the pass. But did this Keelan Harvick wins
• 4:27
  this race. Now it's been raining that
• 4:30
  that's another story within itself.
• 4:31
  It will not stop raining in Pensacola, FL.
• 4:35
  It's Monday and I see that Ryan Priest said, I can't stay any
• 4:41
  longer. I got to go home.
• 4:43
  So Ryan Priest is lined up for the snowball Derby, but he's
• 4:47
  been there since Wednesday and he's got to go home.
• 4:51
  So he says I'm sorry gang, I hate it for all my sponsors.
• 4:55
  So Ryan Priest withdrawals from the Snowball Derby and he goes
• 4:58
  home because it's Monday and hell, they might not get it in
• 5:02
  today. But back to Keelan.
• 5:06
  Keelan Harvick, in my mind, is showing the maturity of a 16
• 5:11
  year old. I truly think that Keelan is 3
• 5:14
  to 4 years ahead of his time. He came through that field and
• 5:18
  he won the snowflake. And guess what time they dropped
• 5:22
  the checkered flag? You got it.
• 5:25
  Now there's a little bit of a debate. 3:15 to 3:45 in the
• 5:30
  morning. Respond right here.
• 5:32
  When do you think the snowflake ended?
• 5:34
  When did Victory Lane end? We know when the green, we know
• 5:38
  when the checkered flag dropped. When did, when did Victory Lane
• 5:40
  end? Let's go with 330, everybody
• 5:43
  3:30 in the morning. But that's how bad it's been
• 5:46
  raining. They they got snowballed urban
• 5:48
  qualifying and then they ran the snowflake.
• 5:50
  So I'm just saying right now that I think Keelan Harvick is
• 5:57
  the next big thing. I want to say that I really
• 6:00
  liked what Kevin Harvick said. Kevin said I'm the gatekeeper.
• 6:06
  I think it might have been Matt Weaver, Matt Weaver's interview
• 6:09
  and Kevin and talking about do you talk to him on the radio?
• 6:11
  Are you telling him everything to do?
• 6:14
  And Kevin shoots that right down.
• 6:16
  Kevin says I don't do anything. Kevin Harvick says I am the
• 6:19
  gatekeeper, but I just, I tell my son to debrief.
• 6:24
  Oh yeah, that's European style. That's European style.
• 6:30
  You tell your 13 year old to write down what happened in the
• 6:33
  race. And so Keelan at 13 years old
• 6:38
  debriefs. I don't know if they write it
• 6:40
  with pen and pencil or they do it with a iPad or what, but
• 6:44
  Kevin reads what Keelan says on the debrief note.
• 6:50
  So when the race is over, you write everything down that
• 6:52
  happened and Kevin says I don't get involved.
• 6:56
  I don't get involved. I let the crew chief do it all.
• 7:01
  So I think that's real heartfelt and I think that's going to go a
• 7:04
  long way because when daddy's not around, you know, there,
• 7:09
  there's a lot of talk that Bob Pierce does a lot for Bobby
• 7:13
  Pierce. But I don't, I don't bite.
• 7:16
  I don't bite. I don't, I mean, I agree that
• 7:19
  Bob does a lot, but I think Bobby is, it's a good team,
• 7:23
  let's put it that way. But the bottom line is, is when
• 7:27
  Bob ends up not going on the road anymore, Bobby's going to
• 7:30
  have to do it on his own. So I think that's the same thing
• 7:34
  with Kevin's doing with Keelan is when what you know, when mom
• 7:39
  and dad, when Delaney and Kevin ain't on the road, Keelan's got
• 7:42
  turn to win all by himself. And that's what Kevin's teaching
• 7:46
  him. And I like that.
• 7:48
  I my new word is gangster. That means you're a bad ass.
• 7:52
  And Kevin and Delaney, they're they're raising Keelan gangster
• 7:58
  style, buddy, you can do it on your own.
• 7:59
  OK? Lando Norris wins the F1
• 8:03
  championship by two points. I'm going to keep this one short
• 8:07
  and sweet. Max Verstappen, one Dubai and
• 8:11
  Qatar. And I think Mark Martin has
• 8:15
  changed my mind because Lando Norris won the Formula One
• 8:20
  championship by two points. That's pretty bad ass with a
• 8:25
  normal point system. So congratulations to Lando and
• 8:30
  it just shows that a full season championship can work.
• 8:34
  OK. Oh, that's NASCAR texting me.
• 8:37
  OK, we'll see what they say. OK, the Dome race.
• 8:41
  I see some people out there trying to grade the race
• 8:44
  already. Here we are, the 9th year of the
• 8:47
  Dome race. I don't like you guys, people
• 8:51
  trying to go. Was it a good race?
• 8:52
  Was it a bad race? Just enjoy the Dome.
• 8:57
  The Dome, the Dome is a fantastic event.
• 9:00
  Oh, the the too much this, too much that.
• 9:03
  Ask yourself this, why is there 35,000 people there?
• 9:09
  So I think that's most important to remember.
• 9:11
  The Dome is a theatrical event. It's not going to be, it's not
• 9:16
  going to be Eldora, it's not going to be Knoxville, it's not
• 9:18
  going to be the world finals. It's a celebration of dirt
• 9:22
  racing. So don't don't start grading the
• 9:26
  Dome. The Dome is just a lot of fun.
• 9:29
  It is what it is. And you got to say, why is it
• 9:32
  doing so good? Why does it grow?
• 9:34
  Every year 123 late models show up.
• 9:38
  All right. I have a great, great Monday,
• 9:43
  everybody.
