  Happy Tuesday morning, everybody, and it's a big one.
• 0:05
  Today's a big day. NASCAR, in its quest to repair
• 0:13
  themselves, has let Steve Phelps go.
• 0:18
  So let's talk about it. Let's break it all down.
• 0:23
  Steve Phelps a year ago was the president.
• 0:27
  He's been the president for quite a while at NASCAR and he's
• 0:31
  been ruling the roost. Then a storm came a brewing and
• 0:36
  the lawsuit happened. Michael Jordan and Front Row
• 0:41
  Motorsports, they sued NASCAR and all the documents came out,
• 0:48
  all the emails, all the texts, and it was Steve Phelps that
• 0:56
  called the legendary car owner Richard Childress, a dumbass
• 1:01
  redneck that needs to be taken out back and flogged.
• 1:07
  Wow. Mark Martin is the one that said
• 1:10
  I don't know how NASCAR recovers from that.
• 1:14
  And I felt the same. No matter what you think of
• 1:21
  Steve Phelps, after a statement like that, the only way NASCAR
• 1:26
  can repair themselves is what happened today.
• 1:32
  As reported by Adam Stern and Bob Pockras.
• 1:38
  It will be announced today and the announcement is already out
• 1:42
  in paper form. You can see it on Bob Pockras
• 1:45
  timeline on social media. Steve Phelps is gone.
• 1:52
  Now, listen, I'm not going to sit here and you know, rah, rah.
• 1:58
  I think that's immature. I will say this, though, here's
• 2:02
  my opinion. It had to be done.
• 2:06
  It had to be done for NASCAR to move forward.
• 2:13
  There are good times ahead for NASCAR.
• 2:17
  Let me explain. I'm Privy to a lot of
• 2:21
  information. You all and all of us are going
• 2:26
  to get so much. We're going to get everything we
• 2:30
  wanted that everyone will have no choice but to love NASCAR
• 2:38
  again. Even if you try to not love
• 2:42
  NASCAR, you're not going to look good because NASCAR is going to
• 2:48
  right the ship. Right now NASCAR is on a quest
• 2:54
  to right a wrong. It has been an incredible
• 3:02
  journey and and you have to ask yourself what the hell happened
• 3:05
  to NASCAR? Were they led in the wrong
• 3:08
  direction? By who?
• 3:13
  Who led them in this wrong direction?
• 3:18
  Did the NASCAR ownership put people in charge that they
• 3:22
  trust? And the people they put in
• 3:25
  charge that they trusted, did they fail them mightily?
• 3:32
  Well, here's my opinion. My mother would say this.
• 3:37
  Do something even if it's wrong because what's going on right
• 3:42
  now is not working. So on this Tuesday, January 6th,
• 3:52
  Steve Phelps, they call him the commissioner.
• 3:55
  I think that's an odd word. I've always known him as the
• 3:58
  president. I guess, you know, Steve
• 4:02
  O'Donnell is the president right now.
• 4:04
  Steve Phelps used to be the president, so now I guess he's
• 4:08
  the commissioner. Respond right here.
• 4:12
  Let me know where I miss this. Steve Phelps used to be the
• 4:15
  president and I guess now he's a commissioner.
• 4:19
  I just, it's a new term I I've heard of.
• 4:21
  It's not that I'm dumb. I I guess I just missed the
• 4:24
  boat. So NASCAR announced on Monday
• 4:35
  that Chip Wow will work with Jeff Burton and the racing
• 4:40
  alliance in the safety area. And after that, on Monday, I
• 4:44
  said look for announcements to roll out daily, if not every
• 4:49
  other day. And I said I know a thing or
• 4:53
  two. Look for NASCAR to give you
• 4:56
  every single thing that you've asked for.
• 5:00
  Now, I don't know about the numbers moving to the middle of
• 5:03
  the door. That's kind of comedy, whether
• 5:07
  we want that or not. But Little Birdie tells me, you
• 5:11
  all and myself, I'm smiling. Everybody looks like Jim France,
• 5:19
  Lesa Kennedy and all the powers to be at NASCAR.
• 5:24
  Looks like they have finally said, how did we get ourself in
• 5:31
  this mess? Let's make it right.
• 5:35
  Let's go back to the old days. You know Mark Martin is smiling
• 5:41
  right now, don't you? By the way, the very first Mark
• 5:47
  Martin show is coming out on the Kenny Wallace Media platform.
• 5:53
  Mark Martin was very nice on Monday evening, he said.
• 5:57
  And I quote, I want to thank the Kenny Wallace Media for giving
• 6:03
  me a platform for our new show. So make sure you check Mark the
• 6:08
  Kid Martin out of Batesville, AR.
• 6:13
  Now listen, that's a lot of fun for me.
• 6:15
  When I grew up, the announcers would say, ladies and gentlemen,
• 6:20
  Mark the Kid Martin, that'll Batesville, AR and I just, I
• 6:24
  just loved it. I just ate it up.
• 6:28
  I'm telling you, Mark Martin had a lot of influence on this,
• 6:34
  little birdie tells me. There's the big three, Dale
• 6:40
  Junior, Kevin Harvick and Kenny Wallace Media.
• 6:49
  I say that humbly. Those are the three that have
• 6:54
  raced and talk about what's up with an opinion.
• 7:00
  That's key right there. So it appears to me that Mark
• 7:05
  Martin, Kevin Harvick, myself, but most of all, all of you, all
• 7:13
  of you, you fans, you chirped long enough and NASCAR is
• 7:21
  responding. So on this day, Tuesday, January
• 7:26
  6th, NASCAR let's Steve Phelps go.
• 7:31
  And don't you know, Richard Childress is probably thinking
• 7:35
  to himself, that's a good start. I'll leave you all with this.
• 7:41
  It's officially time to heal NASCAR, doing everything you've
• 7:47
  asked them. There will be the big
• 7:50
  announcement coming very soon. And I already know what it is
• 7:55
  and I'm proud to know it. But it's going to make you and
• 7:59
  everybody happy. Have a great Tuesday, everybody.
