- 0:20greatly exaggerated. Race fans, I know there's a
- 0:23handful of you that just can't stand to see NASCAR doing so
- 0:27good. I'm going to shock you with this
- 0:30news. I looked at it about spitting my
- 0:34coffee out. I went what announced by Bob
- 0:39Pockrass on X with a wonderful video.
- 0:45A beautiful video by 2311. Riley Herbst is the third car at
- 0:542311. I thought 2311 was shutting
- 0:59down. They don't have a charter for
- 1:02next year. How are they going to race?
- 1:07We're all learning as we go. We're all learning as we go.
- 1:12I know it's hard to believe. I know you all are going What?
- 1:15So I'm going to say it again. Say it again, Sam. 2311 Michael
- 1:22Jordan Denny Hamlin the team that is suing NASCAR that said
- 1:27we will race next year without a charter if needed.
- 1:32They just announced and with a wonderful video.
- 1:34Yes Riley Herbst that won won some races last year in the
- 1:40Xfinity series and shows a lot of talent gets the big break.
- 1:44Sponsored by Monster Energy drink Riley Herbst will be the
- 1:48third Cup car. He will join Bubba Wallace and
- 1:56respond right here. I forgot the other one I got
- 1:58brain fade. You're you'll take care of it
- 2:01for me. So it it's going to Tyler
- 2:04Reddick. There I go Riley Herpst will be
- 2:07the third Michael Jordan Denny Hamlin Carr over there
- 2:10unbelievable never saw this coming in a million years
- 2:14because the demise remember, of course Denny Hamlin was laughing
- 2:19at us all the whole time. So that bank account is big
- 2:24enough over there. And now with the Monster Energy
- 2:27drink money. So you're you're going to have
- 2:29Bubba Wallace, Tyler Reddick and Riley Herbst.
- 2:34We all are eating crow this morning.
- 2:36Even me. Even me.
- 2:39Hey, I never meant to make your daughter cry.
- 2:42I apologize a trillion times, Danny Hamlin, but I am for real.
- 2:50All right, there you go. Riley Herbst, the third.
- 2:54The third car. I know.
- 2:55I can hear you now. How can they afford to do this
- 2:59if they're suing NASCAR? Well, hell, maybe that's another
- 3:02video. I love it, though.
- 3:05I I love it. Well done, Danny Hammond, and
- 3:07well played. You are a badass.
- 3:11But boy, you've given me some great content.
- 3:14All right, the other one, the demise of NASCAR is greatly
- 3:22exaggerated. How about Brad Keselowski
- 3:26believing in Ryan Priest? Somebody said, you know, they
- 3:32announced, you know, that, hey, Ryan Priest is going to go drive
- 3:36the third Roush Fenway car. And I said well deserved.
- 3:40And somebody says, why is it well deserved?
- 3:44I said stop and think about it because Brad Keselowski believes
- 3:48in Ryan Priest. So here's the way that works.
- 3:54If you remember the way talent is judged in NASCAR or any
- 3:59racing division, you can you can be leading the race as a NASCAR
- 4:06driver and every time you you lap this driver, he's sideways
- 4:10and you can know he's driving his ass off.
- 4:12That's the way you judge talent. So Brad Keselowski, he sees Ryan
- 4:18Priest's talent 'cause he sees Ryan wiggling loose.
- 4:22He just never given up. That's why Ryan Priest is a well
- 4:27deserved driver, because Brad Kozlowski sees something in Ryan
- 4:32Priest. All right, race fans, respond
- 4:35right here. Y'all gonna have to eat crow.
- 4:38I'm eating crow. I never saw a third team
- 4:41starting up. I mean, they talked about it,
- 4:44but I never saw it coming with all this drama.
- 4:47So I don't think that. Listen, here's my opinion.
- 4:50I don't think this happens without Michael Jordan.
- 4:55I still remember seeing the movie Air AIR Air, the
- 5:00documentary on Michael Jordan at the movie theater a year ago.
- 5:04And it said Michael Jordan is sitting on his ass right now,
- 5:09collected a percentage of all those tennis shoes and he's
- 5:11making like 44 million a year. He probably having fun, race
- 5:17fans. All right, let's wrap it up real
- 5:20quick. The demise of NASCAR is greatly
- 5:23exaggerated. They just signed a $7.7 billion
- 5:28TV contract. 2311 is suing NASCAR, but they just started
- 5:33the third team with Riley Herpst.
- 5:36Roush Fenway just started the third team with Ryan Priest.
- 5:41As always, respond right here.
