  How about our winner, Christopher Bell?
• 0:02
  Man, what an emotional Victory Lane.
• 0:05
  This is a worldwide everybody is saying we are Charlie Kirk.
• 0:12
  As we know now, Charlie Kirk was assassinated for talking.
• 0:18
  Happy Sunday morning, everybody. Man, oh man, it is beautiful
• 0:24
  weather. However, we might be in a little
• 0:28
  drought here. I don't think it's rained in the
• 0:31
  month. That's fine with me because I
• 0:35
  know soon it's going to be 10 inches deep as snow.
• 0:39
  It's going to be snowing soon. Hell, we're already in the
• 0:42
  middle of September, but we got this little, little 90° weather
• 0:47
  in the stretch right here. It's going to be 97° today, I
• 0:51
  think. Wow.
• 0:53
  All right, it's all about the NASCAR race in Bristol, TN on
• 1:00
  Saturday. First of all, I want to thank my
• 1:03
  dear friend John Skatoni. John is a world class pilot.
• 1:09
  He doesn't fly for a living. He's got an SR22.
• 1:13
  Nice little airplane, beautiful, great avionics.
• 1:16
  Thank you so much John Skatoni. There's so much to know about
• 1:21
  him. He is just an awesome world
• 1:23
  class man. He's the one that basically took
• 1:26
  me to Europe and planned it all out.
• 1:29
  Boy he knows what he's doing. So John flew me to Bristol, TN
• 1:34
  and man the vibe down there was kicking.
• 1:37
  Boy he was big and we had an incredible trackside live.
• 1:42
  It was packed, thousands of people, we had great guests and
• 1:48
  we had a lot of fun. We really did.
• 1:50
  But because I'm a race car driver, because I'm a race car
• 1:55
  driver, I wanted to come back and finish off this two day show
• 2:02
  right here in Peevely, Missouri at Federated Auto Parts Raceway
• 2:07
  Park. I wanted to get back because I
• 2:09
  have not missed a race this year at our local racetrack.
• 2:14
  So when Trackside Live was over, jumped on a golf cart.
• 2:19
  The golf cart took me to Matt Greasy's car.
• 2:24
  Matt is the present, he runs the Nashville Superspeedway.
• 2:29
  Want to thank Matt, He was awesome.
• 2:31
  Matt, it was good to meet you. He took us straight to the
• 2:34
  airport, or as I like to say, Errol Piordo.
• 2:40
  Then we got on that airplane and we flew back to Saint Louis and
• 2:46
  we landed here at seven O 7. Got in my car run 80 mile an
• 2:51
  hour all the way to the racetrack.
• 2:55
  My my nephew. I want to thank Aaron
• 3:00
  Hollingshead. Aaron, thank you.
• 3:02
  I want to thank Roy Clark and I want to thank Larry and Ryan
• 3:07
  Hamilton. They had my car sitting there.
• 3:09
  I gave them notes what to do. I put my fire suit on it and I
• 3:14
  had 10 minutes left. Started 8th, started last in my
• 3:18
  heat race, got to 4th. There was 31 cars, they only
• 3:23
  start 22 and that transferred me to the A main.
• 3:27
  I started 16th and with three laps to go I was side by side
• 3:32
  with the leader for the win and I ended up third.
• 3:37
  Wow, I'm exhausted, just saying all that.
• 3:39
  So I ended up third. So that's why I left Bristol
• 3:43
  because I am a race car driver. That's a joke there.
• 3:49
  Hey, I really like that. I really like what Fox is doing
• 3:57
  with their NFL pre game show. Looks like they've kept Terry
• 4:01
  Bradshaw and Howie long. They're getting long and the
• 4:04
  tooth. They're getting old.
• 4:06
  But you got Michael Strahan, you got Tom Brady.
• 4:11
  And man, they got a lot of people in the center.
• 4:13
  They got a good look. The the NFL pregame on Fox is
• 4:17
  really good. I really like it.
• 4:20
  They include the fans. They're right there in Kansas
• 4:23
  City and boy, they got it going on real, really, really well
• 4:28
  done. I got brain fade.
• 4:32
  Who's the great wide receiver there that won all the games of
• 4:36
  Brady anyway? All right, let's get to Bristol.
• 4:42
  I just looked. I just looked at Jeff Glucks
• 4:46
  poll right now, right now, early on this morning, on this Sunday
• 4:52
  morning, 81% said that Bristol was a banger.
• 4:59
  Wow. Bristol was one for the ages.
• 5:02
  I followed along. I saw it all and I was there.
• 5:07
  I was there. What a vibe.
• 5:10
  That night race. You don't want to miss it.
• 5:13
  NASCAR's winning right now, everybody.
• 5:15
  They made one of the great comebacks of all time.
• 5:17
  By the way, has anybody checked on my best friend Mark Martin?
• 5:22
  Last time I saw, there was pictures of him staring at the
• 5:24
  ocean. Mark, I love you.
• 5:28
  I was talking to Ross. Chest ain't live on the set at
• 5:32
  Bristol. Ross says we need to get Mark
• 5:34
  into golfing. Mark, you think you can golf?
• 5:38
  The whole sport loves you so much.
• 5:41
  Everything's going to be just fine, buddy.
• 5:43
  They're listening to you. Mark it, it appears Reported by
• 5:47
  Adam Stern. Reported by Adam Stern last
• 5:51
  night, Saturday night, it appears they're going to meet
• 5:54
  Mark Martin halfway. Mark, they're listening to you.
• 5:58
  Looks like they're going to have a like I said yesterday, but now
• 6:00
  it's been confirmed. It's been confirmed looks like
• 6:04
  they're going to go 3 to 4 races to determine the championship
• 6:09
  next year. So they're listening to you,
• 6:11
  Mark, Mark, you might not get your 36 race playoff, but you
• 6:16
  you've made a dent. You've made a dent.
• 6:18
  They going to put you in the Hall of Fame for being an
• 6:21
  activist. Mark Martin, an activist, he's
• 6:26
  the one that pushed change the point system.
• 6:30
  Make it be 36 races. NASCAR's listening to Mark the
• 6:35
  kid Martin out of Batesville, AR Yesterday.
• 6:39
  Mark put up a picture. He was staring out at the ocean
• 6:42
  and he said sitting here trying to figure out how to get NASCAR
• 6:46
  to change the point system to 36 races.
• 6:50
  It was like a meme. I put laugh out loud.
• 6:53
  Mark, get the fuck up. Oh my God.
• 6:57
  And then we brought it up on the pre race show.
• 6:59
  We brought it up on Trackside Live and Ross Chastain, Ross
• 7:04
  said. Man, I grew up he Ross Chastain
• 7:07
  said he grew up watching Matt Martin win.
• 7:10
  Mark Martin's son, Ross Chastain said he grew up watching Matt
• 7:14
  Martin win at New Smyrna. Wanted to be like Matt Martin,
• 7:19
  Mark Martin's boy. Wow.
• 7:23
  But then. But then Ross Chastain said,
• 7:26
  Mark, we got to get you something to do.
• 7:30
  So anyway, Bristol was a banger. The sport is doing good.
• 7:34
  It's healing. And how about how about our
• 7:38
  winner, Christopher Bell? Man, what an emotional Victory
• 7:41
  Lane. This is a worldwide, everybody
• 7:46
  is saying we are Charlie Kirk. As we know now, Charlie Kirk was
• 7:52
  assassinated for talking. And I think the whole world,
• 7:55
  especially over there in Europe, you know, if you say something
• 7:59
  wrong on Twitter against something you don't believe in,
• 8:02
  they arrest you. I mean, this is going on in all
• 8:06
  the world. So anyway, really nice what
• 8:09
  Christopher Bell did, He dedicated the win to Charlie
• 8:12
  Kirk. And people are on exits and
• 8:16
  everywhere, all over the highways, all over the world, to
• 8:19
  Europe, Korea, they're all saying we are Charlie Kirk,
• 8:24
  because one should be able to talk.
• 8:27
  And if you talk, you don't want to be killed.
• 8:29
  So that was all over NASCAR. That's the reason I'm bringing
• 8:33
  up. That's what it was all about on
• 8:35
  the big screen. And So what an incredible night
• 8:41
  at Bristol. I want to thank you all so much.
• 8:44
  That's pretty much what I had to say today.
• 8:46
  I can go into details. I know.
• 8:48
  I'll leave you with this was the start of the race crazy.
• 8:53
  Oh, hell yeah. Goodyear's trying everybody.
• 8:56
  They tried to give you a tire that would fall off.
• 8:59
  Well, it it ended up cordon. People were pitting, hey, early
• 9:03
  in the race. So some guys were going 60 laps.
• 9:06
  And I know all about the tire problem, but here's here's the
• 9:10
  situation. It was a hell of a show.
• 9:13
  And that's what NASCAR always says.
• 9:16
  This show can go as big as we want it to go is how far do we
• 9:19
  want to take it. And those words are described in
• 9:22
  the the older NASCAR trailer by the great big Bill big Bill
• 9:28
  France. This show can go as far as we
• 9:30
  want. It's up to all of us to see how
• 9:33
  far we can take it. So was the tire perfect?
• 9:37
  Well, it ground down, but in the end, that tire was awesome. 3
• 9:42
  wide for the lead Keselowski knocking the hell out of sea
• 9:48
  bell, but he hit him square and didn't move him and the crowd
• 9:52
  was on their feet. And once again, Jeff Clucks poll
• 9:56
  says 81% of the people thought Bristol was unbelievable.
• 10:01
  All right, respond right here, everybody.
