- 0:00It's Monday and the stage is set.
- 0:05The NASCAR race at Martinsville is over and we've got Denny
- 0:10Hamlin, Chase Briscoe, Kyle Larson and William Byron.
- 0:18They are headed to the last NASCAR race of the year.
- 0:24Now there's a girl in this harbor town and she works leg
- 0:31and whiskey down. Lonely sailors say fetch another
- 0:37round and Brandy was her name. Na na, na, man, love that damn
- 0:45song. Love that song.
- 0:49All right, everybody, like I said, the stage is set and I say
- 0:57my choice is going to be it's going to be Danny Hamlin dueling
- 1:03it out with William Byron. Those two are going to go at it.
- 1:09But I think Danny Hamlin's going to win it all.
- 1:12I want him to win it all just because of my feelings that
- 1:17Danny's going to run a couple more years.
- 1:21His clock is ticking, and I think it'd be a great win, but I
- 1:27want to be clear about something that I think is worthy of
- 1:31saying. All that bitching, all that
- 1:39moaning all year long about points didn't even matter.
- 1:45Did not even matter. Joey Logano getting into the
- 1:51championship round a year or two ago was an anomaly.
- 1:55It was just something that rarely happened in life.
- 2:01Alex Bowman was light at the scales two or two years ago and
- 2:06that put Joey Logano in the race, putting him in the
- 2:10championship round. That was an anomaly.
- 2:12That means that was weird, that was strange.
- 2:14That never happens. It happened one time and you all
- 2:19lost your ever living minds over it and you bitched for years,
- 2:23plural. Plural.
- 2:25You bitched for years and in the end what happened and what
- 2:33NASCAR design really did happen. We got 4 drivers going to
- 2:39Phoenix that are very worthy and they are the right drivers.
- 2:43They are the winningest drivers. Denny Hamlin with six wins.
- 2:49William Byron with three wins, Kyle Larson with three wins,
- 2:54Chase Bisco with three wins. So NASCAR did not get this
- 3:02wrong. And whoever wins this
- 3:04championship is well deserved. They are deserving, but my God,
- 3:13my God, did you all get the the points changed?
- 3:16You got the points changed. But I, like I said before I
- 3:19started this little talk, what I just said was worthy of
- 3:23reminding you all. So this should be a barn burner.
- 3:30And listen, Ryan Blaney. Ryan Blaney won his championship
- 3:38and he did not win the race at Phoenix.
- 3:42So Ryan Blaney, who is not in the the final four, he can win
- 3:48Phoenix and he can keep a championship driver locked out.
- 3:52So Denny Hamlin could run second at Phoenix next week and Ryan
- 3:59Blaney win the race. Oh, yeah, the champion does not
- 4:05does not have to be the winner because it's already happened.
- 4:07If you remember, Ross Chastain won the race, said Phoenix.
- 4:14And Ryan Blaney run second or third and he was your champion.
- 4:19So we got 4 drivers that are big time winners.
- 4:23They're worthy of being at Phoenix, but they don't have to
- 4:26win Phoenix to win it all because history can very well
- 4:31repeat itself. And remember, Phoenix is a
- 4:36Penske track. So so look for Ryan Blaney to
- 4:40win next week at Phoenix and then your champion be one of our
- 4:47final four. That can happen.
- 4:51That's a scenario. But man, oh man, let's talk
- 4:56about that race at Phoenix. Holy moly, Phoenix coming up.
- 5:06People say to me, Herman, who's going to win the race?
- 5:08I said, well, you might as well go to Vegas and put your money
- 5:12on a on a roulette table because it's it could come down to a pit
- 5:17stop. Speaking of pit stops, did you
- 5:22watch the race at Martinsville yesterday?
- 5:26I mean, one of the best races at Martinsville I've seen in a long
- 5:29time. It looked like 1992 all over
- 5:32again. They were three wide.
- 5:34I'm like, whoa, they there really are three wide like real,
- 5:38not fake and not not not something that was rare.
- 5:42They went three wide a couple times.
- 5:46Tires were wearing Goodyear did a good job.
- 5:49They got it right this time. The marbles, the tire wearer, It
- 5:53was they had a marble. They were the track was dirty up
- 5:57in the high groove. So what was different at
- 6:01Martin's at this time? How did how did Goodyear get it
- 6:04right? It it it was cool out.
- 6:06It was a it was a fall day in Martinsville.
- 6:11Leaves were falling all around. Leaves are falling all around
- 6:19and I'll be on my way. I'm looking at this Martinsville
- 6:26race. It was on Free TV, it was on
- 6:28NBC. It, you know, it was free.
- 6:31It was a hell of a race. I'm looking for, you know, 2.8
- 6:36to 3 million views. It was prime time.
- 6:41It was perfect. I'm really looking forward to
- 6:43the atmosphere at Phoenix. I know it's going to be standing
- 6:46room only. Everybody likes Phoenix.
- 6:48It's got a great garage area. The fans like going down there,
- 6:52they like hanging out. They got a bar area, like a food
- 6:56area. Phoenix is a favorite and I
- 6:59really think everybody's going to be going to Phoenix more so
- 7:02because this is it. This is the last championship
- 7:07race at Phoenix. Kind of sad, kind of sad.
- 7:11Let me remind you all this is the last championship race at
- 7:16Phoenix because you all bitched and you moaned.
- 7:22We got to change the track because Penske wins every race
- 7:26in Phoenix. So NASCAR said, OK, we'll go to
- 7:30Miami Homestead. NASCAR's going to Miami
- 7:33Homestead next year to determine the champion.
- 7:38Then you bitched and moan about the points because of the unique
- 7:43circumstances of Joey Logano accidentally getting in because
- 7:47Alex Bone was the light on the scales at Charlotte.
- 7:51And they're going to change the points.
- 7:55They're changing the track. They're changing the points
- 7:58because you complain so badly now.
- 8:02Mark Martin's going to be sitting right here next week.
- 8:05Mark Martin's going to be sitting right here.
- 8:07Mark Martin going to be sitting right there next week.
- 8:11Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
- 8:14And we'll put Matt Martin, his boy, right over there.
- 8:19Rumor has it that Matt Martin bought Mark Martin a new coffee
- 8:25cup. I think you're going to like it.
- 8:27I know what it is. All right, everybody respond
- 8:34right here. I think everything's perfect
- 8:38right now. I don't think there's anything
- 8:40wrong. Not one thing wrong as far as
- 8:47Chase Elliott, as far as Chase Elliott and Ryan Blaney not
- 8:51making the championship for it's it's real sports.
- 8:58It's real sports. There's nothing you can do about
- 9:00it. They just didn't run good
- 9:02enough. They ran good, though.
- 9:06Chase Elliott and Ryan Blaney were in the top five.
- 9:08They ran good. All right, everybody, here we
- 9:13go. Respond right here.
