  Happy Tuesday morning, everybody.

• 0:10
  It is my favorite day of the weekend because it is Tuesday.
• 0:18
  Yeah, and I'm gonna tell you who started Tuesday.
• 0:24
  Tuesday. The starter of Tuesday is right
• 0:26
  here. Hello.
• 0:30
  Tuesday. Stop.
• 0:32
  Can you say Tuesday? No, you can't say.
• 0:35
  Yeah. No, no, no, I can't.
• 0:42
  There she is in all her glory. We are down here in the
• 0:48
  Charlotte, NC area at my mama's house.
• 0:53
  And Kim, did you know Tuesday is?
• 0:56
  Did you know Tuesday was special?
• 0:59
  Did you know Tuesdays are special for me?
• 1:01
  Because when we would go to Milwaukee later that night, you
• 1:05
  would be going? Yeah.
• 1:07
  No, you say no. Well, it's time to go to Whole
• 1:15
  Chunk Casino. Yeah.
• 1:16
  Yeah. OK, enough of that.
• 1:19
  Anyway, that's who started it. There she is.
• 1:23
  Kim Wallace. We'd go to Milwaukee for the ASA
• 1:28
  race and like 9:00 that morning, I'd drop her off at her family
• 1:33
  up there, and at six that night I'd pick her up and she would
• 1:37
  say no. I said stop.
• 1:42
  OK, Shout out to everybody at the whole Chunk Casino or
• 1:47
  Pottawatomie or whoever's going through The Dells.
• 1:50
  Yeah, I'm bad. Stop it.
• 1:59
  OK, subject matter of the day, dirt racing and IndyCar.
• 2:08
  Now I want to tell everybody that I mean this with a lot of
• 2:11
  love, but I'm going to draw my observation.
• 2:19
  I'm going to do my best to explain this.
• 2:22
  You know how nobody ever likes the boss?
• 2:26
  Nobody likes the boss, nobody likes the teacher.
• 2:29
  The, the leaders are always the bad people, you know, because
• 2:32
  they're leaders, you know? But then there have been times
• 2:36
  I've watched people go, OK, you want to lead, come on, you be
• 2:40
  the leader. And they fall mightily there.
• 2:44
  There are followers and you, you put them in a situation and say
• 2:51
  hey, you know, you be the leader and they can't lead.
• 3:00
  I've been watching from afar these people talk about how
• 3:07
  great dirt racing is and how great the racing was at
• 3:10
  Goldeneyele and how the racing is just unbelievable.
• 3:18
  Then I've been watching people talk about how great IndyCar
• 3:21
  racing is, and IndyCar racing is just unbelievable.
• 3:30
  Yes, I love dirt racing more than you do.
• 3:35
  I love IndyCar racing more than you do, but this will be the
• 3:41
  first time that I cuss on purpose in a month or so.
• 3:46
  I'm going to D bullshit this right now and I mean this and
• 3:51
  I'm going to I'm going to make a point pretty soon here.
• 3:54
  Hang with me though. NASCAR is the show and nobody
• 4:00
  likes the bosses. NASCAR is the show.
• 4:04
  So I hear all my friends over there at Flo, they're just
• 4:11
  they're they're out of breath. They're out of breath about how
• 4:15
  great the racing is down at Golden Isle.
• 4:18
  And I agree, it was unbelievable.
• 4:21
  It was great, but we that's dirt racing.
• 4:25
  Dirt racing is awesome. It is one of the greatest shows
• 4:31
  in auto racing. Dirt racing.
• 4:33
  I mean the races you see at Fairbury or, or you know, I-55,
• 4:40
  Federated Auto Parts, Raceway Park, Farmer City, it just don't
• 4:46
  matter. Dirt racing is awesome, but they
• 4:51
  are always trying to, you know, when I talk to Michael Riggs,
• 4:55
  but he goes, I just want these guys, you know, to be recognized
• 4:59
  more than the Cup guys. And I'm like Michael, that
• 5:04
  there's one thing you're you're not understanding about dirt
• 5:07
  racing. Compared to NASCAR, dirt racing
• 5:11
  is dirty. And we've been through this
• 5:13
  before. And I say this with all the love
• 5:17
  in the world, dirt racing can only go so far because it is so
• 5:22
  damn dirty. You can't take, I mean, you're,
• 5:26
  we, we are going to get Eddie Petroff, we're going to get
• 5:29
  Hoker. We're going to get all these,
• 5:32
  you know, type of people that we love.
• 5:34
  We're going to get them there. But it's it's going to be hard.
• 5:39
  It's going to be very hard to get, you know, the biggest
• 5:43
  sponsors in the world to a dirt race because it's so damn dirty.
• 5:48
  I love dirt racing more than you.
• 5:50
  But until we figure out how to get dirt racing cleaned up,
• 5:55
  where the dirt don't fly and we have real restrooms, not porta
• 5:58
  potties and we're not running around like a bunch of damn
• 6:01
  rednecks until the until we figure out how to do that.
• 6:05
  I mean, that's what we talk about at these, you know,
• 6:09
  workshops. You know, whatever we're out in
• 6:12
  the Reno, NV or wherever we're at.
• 6:15
  That's all we talk about. Get the dust down at dirt
• 6:18
  tracks. I've been preaching this
• 6:19
  forever. Dirt racing is awesome.
• 6:23
  We know our place. Stay our lane.
• 6:26
  Let's keep packing the grandstands at Let's Max them
• 6:30
  out at Orlando or Orlando Eldora.
• 6:34
  Damn, I've been to Orlando lately.
• 6:35
  Let's Maxi's grandstands out at Eldora at 1820 thousand people.
• 6:40
  That's awesome. OK, I think I've made my point.
• 6:46
  I've just seen a lot of the innuendos the last three days
• 6:49
  and it was time for me to speak my piece.
• 6:52
  You've all been speaking your piece now for IndyCar.
• 6:58
  Same with all of you. We all love racing and we're all
• 7:04
  together, but NASCAR is always going to be the show.
• 7:08
  So between NASCAR and between Fox Sports, we allowed IndyCar
• 7:14
  to race on our venue, NASCAR. I have to remind a lot of people
• 7:20
  NASCAR owns Phoenix Raceway. Oh yes, NASCAR owns the
• 7:27
  racetrack. So it was NASCAR that said, OK,
• 7:31
  OK, Fox Sports, let's let IndyCar race with us and let's,
• 7:36
  let's, let's have a great time. Now I see where Kyle Larson said
• 7:41
  it would be cool. This is what Kyle Larson said It
• 7:45
  would be awesome if the Cup Series was able to go race on
• 7:50
  their venue. So what venues does IndyCar own?
• 7:55
  What race tracks do Rodger Penske own?
• 7:58
  Respond right here. Tell me what tracks IndyCar own.
• 8:05
  I know NASCAR owns all their tracks and SMI owns all their
• 8:09
  tracks. Tell me the 20 tracks that
• 8:13
  IndyCar owns, they own Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
• 8:23
  I don't know what other ones owe.
• 8:25
  But listen, we're all together. We're all together here.
• 8:29
  But as far as dirt racing and IndyCar better or, you know, I'm
• 8:36
  just getting in like this. Stay your lane, everybody.
• 8:39
  Stay your lane. Quit trying to be bigger than
• 8:42
  what you are here. I'll have fun.
• 8:46
  I'll, I'll, I'll rough myself up to make a point.
• 8:51
  I'm always going to be Rusty's little brother and I'm happy
• 8:55
  with that. Have a great Tuesday, everybody.
