• 0:00
  Happy Friday morning, everybody. I-55 Federated Auto Parts
• 0:08
  Raceway Park right here in my hometown, about 10 minutes from
• 0:14
  my house. We'll have the World of Outlaw
• 0:17
  Sprint cars, the Wings Sprint cars on April 10th and 11th.
• 0:22
  Go to worldofoutlaw.com to get your tickets and come see me at
• 0:28
  my local racetrack, I-55 Federated Auto Parts Raceway
• 0:33
  Park, April 10th and 11th, the World of Outlaw Wings, Sprint
• 0:39
  cars. They really are exciting.
• 0:45
  OK everybody, a lot to talk about today.
• 0:49
  Two things. NASCAR has announced that on
• 0:54
  Monday at 3:00 Eastern Standard Time, that's Charlotte, NC.
• 1:02
  At 3:00 on Monday, NASCAR will announce the new championship
• 1:08
  format. Now I have looked at it, all you
• 1:13
  got to do is Google it. There have been 5 championship
• 1:21
  formats and some of them provided different points
• 1:26
  system. So in other words, it's like it
• 1:29
  might not have looked completely different, but they awarded
• 1:34
  points differently. So if you Google how many points
• 1:38
  formats have there been in NASCAR history, it's going to
• 1:42
  give you 5 and you're going to save yourself 5.
• 1:47
  Yeah. Because what I learned was that
• 1:50
  there were different points for some different scenarios, but
• 1:53
  they didn't look a a bunch different.
• 1:57
  So I've scrolled social media and people are different.
• 2:04
  The psychology, you know, I am a philosopher and I study people
• 2:11
  and I and I look at what makes people tick.
• 2:15
  What makes you be the way you are.
• 2:18
  So NASCAR announces it, right? Hey, this Monday, exciting news.
• 2:25
  We're going to announce the championship format.
• 2:29
  And instead of the fans saying, all right, we're looking forward
• 2:35
  to this announcement. We know it's going to be better.
• 2:38
  We know it's going to be better because Mark the kid Martin out
• 2:41
  of Batesville, AR, we all know that Mark is the boss of this
• 2:45
  deal, right? Because Mark is the one that he
• 2:49
  he is. He is the the point man.
• 2:53
  No, you all were not happy. From what I see.
• 2:56
  It's like like it appears to me you all want to be disappointed.
• 3:06
  So that that that's where I come in.
• 3:08
  What makes people want to be disappointed?
• 3:12
  Do they think they're going to win something?
• 3:14
  Do they got a bet for somebody? Respond right here.
• 3:18
  Why do you want to be disappointed when you do know
• 3:23
  NASCAR is going to do the right thing?
• 3:26
  Now, listen, I'm not going to brag.
• 3:28
  I'm not going to. I'm the man, although I am the
• 3:32
  man. I already know what they're
• 3:38
  going to announce. I know everything because I'm
• 3:42
  the greatest of all time. That's the way you all act.
• 3:47
  So sometimes some of these characters that I do, and you do
• 3:53
  know their characters when I do these characters, I meant I'm
• 3:59
  imitating you guys. So anyway, I'm looking forward
• 4:03
  to it and I can't wait for them to announce this new
• 4:07
  championship format. You will be happy.
• 4:13
  And I'm just going to leave it that because I don't want to get
• 4:15
  in trouble because I know everything because I'm the
• 4:19
  greatest. Calm down.
• 4:23
  I'm just, I'm just seeing if I can get your goat.
• 4:26
  OK, The other big one, once again, NASCAR is in repair mode.
• 4:32
  Everything is going in the right direction.
• 4:35
  We know that Steve Phelps is gone.
• 4:38
  We know they're announcing a new championship format.
• 4:41
  I mean, this is just the tip of the iceberg.
• 4:43
  The third thing they've done is the new redneck commercial.
• 4:47
  Hell yeah. So right there you got three
• 4:50
  things that NASCAR is doing to make you happy.
• 4:53
  Get back to the good old days #1 the new Hell yeah commercial.
• 4:58
  We've already talked about that #2 Phelps is gone #3 the new
• 5:03
  championship format. That's three things.
• 5:07
  And, and you know where, where are we at?
• 5:10
  It's January 9th. We're nine days into the new
• 5:14
  year and NASCAR's already announced 3 things.
• 5:18
  That's how, that's how big of a change this year is going to be.
• 5:21
  So respond right here. 3 big changes.
• 5:25
  Does that matter to you? Do you see what NASCAR's trying
• 5:29
  to do? They're trying to make a wrong a
• 5:34
  right. They're trying to make make
• 5:36
  things right. They they messed up.
• 5:38
  They messed up and they know that.
• 5:40
  But I'm excited that they're trying to make it right.
• 5:44
  Will you allow them to make it right?
• 5:46
  Are you excited? I did a coffee with Kenny about
• 5:49
  a month ago. That you don't you don't want to
• 5:53
  be nice with him, yet you're so pissed, you're so mad that do
• 5:58
  you do you want to stay mad at them because you're that mad?
• 6:02
  Respond right here. Tell me that do you want to stay
• 6:06
  mad at NASCAR 'cause you're that mad?
• 6:08
  It's like like a husband and wife.
• 6:12
  It's like you, you pissed me off so bad.
• 6:14
  I don't want to be nice to you yet.
• 6:15
  Is that the way you feel? OK, different subject.
• 6:26
  College racing, we just did a great Kenny conversation with
• 6:31
  Chris Rice. So you know Dana White, the UFC,
• 6:36
  he owns UFC, know Dana White, you know, you know the great
• 6:40
  championship fighting, cage fighting.
• 6:45
  Dana White, he's strong. He's got a big production
• 6:50
  company, so Collar Gracing and Dana White production company
• 6:55
  with Ram trucks. They are creating a reality show
• 7:01
  to find the next driver to fill one of the seats in those Ram
• 7:07
  trucks. And I and I've seen some videos.
• 7:11
  They're all over social media. I like it.
• 7:15
  I like it a lot. We've all said, all of us old
• 7:18
  people have said that's what NASCAR's missing.
• 7:21
  There's no good commercials. There's no good shows promoting
• 7:24
  the sport. Well, here we go and it looks
• 7:28
  good. It's going to air.
• 7:31
  The first episode is going to air like at 12 noon on Fox like
• 7:36
  Rabbity or TV. Then the rest will be on the
• 7:41
  Fox. Well, no, it will be on the RAM
• 7:44
  YouTube show. So that's everybody's out of
• 7:48
  YouTube. Did you know YouTube is the
• 7:50
  largest of all? It's the largest.
• 7:53
  It's easy. Everybody's on YouTube so it's
• 7:57
  easy, everybody so that that doesn't make me happy.
• 8:00
  That reminds me of the Gong Show.
• 8:03
  Isn't that where we found like a Ricky Stenhouse and some of the
• 8:07
  the NASCAR drivers at Roush Racing go back through history.
• 8:13
  Help me respond right here. What NASCAR drivers did RFK fine
• 8:19
  when it was just Roush Racing? Google that Did Roush Racing
• 8:25
  find their drivers during their gong show?
• 8:29
  That's what they called it. So I'm excited to see this.
• 8:35
  Good job, Chris Wright, good job Chris Rice and Matt Collig, Dana
• 8:41
  White Productions. It looks good, looks
• 8:43
  professional. All right, everybody, I think I
• 8:46
  think we've said enough today. Don't want to get past.
• 8:49
  I don't like getting up in the double digits.
• 8:51
  So we had 9 minutes. Thank you all so much.
