• 0:02
  Happy Monday morning everybody. It's a beautiful day here in St.
• 0:09
  Louis, MO Gonna be 86° today. It's already a warm one.
• 0:17
  Herminator got his little jacket off.
• 0:23
  John Roberts would say jacket on or jacket off.
• 0:29
  We get ready to do those shows, you know, on SPEED TV.
• 0:34
  NASCAR race day fuelled by Sunoco starts right now.
• 0:40
  That's what I would say. That was my job.
• 0:42
  And then if it was real hot, Johnny Roberts would get in to
• 0:46
  his little microphone back to our producers because we were
• 0:49
  forced to wear jackets and it'd be 100° out.
• 0:53
  Jackets on or jackets off? All right, so much to talk about
• 0:59
  that I'm trying to decide what to talk about.
• 1:03
  Do I talk about the legendary Hall of Fame baseball player
• 1:09
  Chipper Jones from the Atlanta Braves?
• 1:12
  Do I talk about Chipper Jones not liking Joey Logano?
• 1:18
  Do I talk about Chipper Jones? Literally ripping in to Joey
• 1:23
  Logano on X on the social media app X last night.
• 1:29
  So much to where Dale Junior says Oh my God.
• 1:33
  Chipper Jones, of course, my mother-in-law D she just showed
• 1:38
  me a post a fan said could you please ask Kenny to talk about
• 1:44
  his his 2nd place finish and Dale Earnhardt, Dale Earnhardt
• 1:50
  seniors last win at Talladega back in 2000.
• 1:56
  You know, there's so much to talk about Talladega, but what
• 2:03
  should you know? I don't know.
• 2:05
  I don't want to be self-serving it.
• 2:07
  I don't want to talk about me and senior again unless you
• 2:10
  force me to on this timeline. Maybe we can do that tomorrow,
• 2:14
  but I want to acknowledge the fans that want me to talk about
• 2:18
  Dale Earnhardt Senior's last one of his life and of course, Dale
• 2:23
  Senior getting into Victory Lane and Kenny Wallace this, Kenny
• 2:27
  Wallace that. I'm like, what in the world?
• 2:30
  So that's another story if you all want me to tell it to you.
• 2:34
  There's so much to the back story.
• 2:36
  There's a massive back story to that that Dale Earnhardt
• 2:40
  Senior's last win of his life and me running 2nd and of course
• 2:45
  Dale senior getting all over national TV and saying they
• 2:48
  said, Dale senior, how did you come from last starting place
• 2:52
  with tend to go and win this race and Dale senior said Kenny
• 2:57
  Wallace, if it weren't for Kenny Wallace, man, them Alabama fans,
• 3:02
  they love me after that. I like Wallace.
• 3:05
  He pushed my man, all right, But we're not going to talk about it
• 3:11
  because it was. It's something I feel like if I
• 3:13
  talk about it and tell you the whole back story, you know, some
• 3:18
  of you older people might say, I heard that damn story.
• 3:21
  Wallace bragging on himself. Wallace bragging on himself.
• 3:27
  So let's talk about Chipper Jones, all right?
• 3:32
  When you go to Talladega, it's all about the Atlanta Braves.
• 3:35
  And here's why. Because Dale Senior used to win
• 3:40
  all the time at Atlanta, well not Atlanta, the Atlanta Braves.
• 3:48
  Their hero player Chipper Jones is a big NASCAR fan.
• 3:53
  I get I guess it's true Chipper grew up outside of Daytona
• 3:57
  Beach, FL. Is that right?
• 3:59
  Did Chipper Jones grow up right outside of Daytona Beach, FL?
• 4:02
  Respond right here. Let me know if that's wrong.
• 4:05
  Is that right or wrong? Chipper Jones is a massive
• 4:11
  NASCAR fan. And I didn't know it.
• 4:13
  I did not know that. So, you know, you would you'd go
• 4:18
  to Talladega and there'd be a lot of Atlanta Braves hats.
• 4:22
  And Earnhardt, you know, he was a big Dale senior, was a big
• 4:27
  Atlanta Braves fan. He was a friend of, you know,
• 4:31
  the managerial system there at the Atlanta Braves.
• 4:34
  And so Chipper Jones last night after the race.
• 4:38
  Now listen, we going to talk about it on Herman Schrader.
• 4:41
  But the Talladega race goes clean and green got 2 cautions.
• 4:45
  We got the fiasco coming into pit Rd. and then we got the deal
• 4:50
  where who was it? It was a booster and and
• 4:54
  Christopher Bell. That's it, that's it.
• 4:57
  But Jeff Gluck already has the pole and you guys say you did
• 5:01
  not like Talla Vega. Although it will have really
• 5:05
  good ratings, it will have good TV ratings.
• 5:08
  This is one thing I learned about you all you you watch the
• 5:12
  race, so the ratings will be high.
• 5:15
  So you watch the race. So you could go to Jeff Clogs
• 5:20
  poll and say whether you liked it or didn't.
• 5:22
  So there's a difference. OK, you got to watch the race to
• 5:27
  say whether you liked it or not. You, you cannot not watch the
• 5:31
  race and not vote. So TV ratings will be up because
• 5:34
  it was a hell of a race. There were four wide saving
• 5:39
  fuel. All right, Chipper Jones, here
• 5:43
  it goes. Coming to the end of the second
• 5:46
  stage, Austin Cinderick is behind Bubba Wallace and he
• 5:52
  can't help but he he cannot help but to push Bubba Wallace to the
• 5:58
  second stage win. And here's why.
• 6:02
  So on the inside lane leading, coming to the checkered was Joey
• 6:10
  Logano. So Joey Logano and Austin
• 6:14
  Syndrich are Penske cars, their teammates.
• 6:17
  Now this is setting up for a storm.
• 6:20
  Austin Syndrich, he got no choice.
• 6:22
  He's got to stay going. So what's he going to do?
• 6:26
  Let off the damn gas, drag the brake pile the pack up?
• 6:31
  I think that's an awful risky move.
• 6:34
  So Austin Syndra going into three, he's out here, he's in
• 6:39
  the right side lane, he pushes, he goes ahead and he pushes
• 6:42
  bubble walls to the wind. Well, on the meanwhile, on the
• 6:45
  on the inside lane, Joey Logano loses the second stage and boy,
• 6:52
  he is highly pissed on his radio.
• 6:55
  He's so mad at his teammate Austin Syndragal.
• 6:58
  It's basically a way to go. Austin great in job and goes on
• 7:03
  a little bit of a he's pissed. Chipper Jones hears this.
• 7:08
  Chipper Jones, the legendary player, one of the most famous
• 7:12
  baseball players in Atlanta Braves history.
• 7:15
  He gets on X OK, now he's not paying this whole story for you.
• 7:20
  He gets on X and goes, goes on this.
• 7:24
  I mean, this is radio gold. If you're going to do a radio
• 7:26
  show, this is gold because Chipper Jones, one of the most
• 7:30
  famous athletes of all time, here's basically what he said.
• 7:35
  He said, oh, but I'm going to paraphrase this, OK, I'm going
• 7:38
  to pair. I'm not a journalist.
• 7:40
  I don't want to hear it. La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
• 7:43
  I don't want to hear it. I'm not a journalist.
• 7:45
  I run third last night at Quincy.
• 7:47
  I ride. I'm a dirt racer.
• 7:49
  I'm a redneck dirt racer. I'm going to paraphrase it,
• 7:53
  Chipper Jones says, oh, Joey Logano is only a teammate if he
• 7:59
  wins the races, and I mean goes on.
• 8:04
  And then later on, Joey Logano was found illegal.
• 8:08
  So if Joey Logano would even won the race, Joey was found illegal
• 8:11
  because a spoiler bolt a bolt in the spoiler was missing, which
• 8:17
  lets the spoiler flex. It's a rule.
• 8:21
  And and poor Ryan Priest who runs second, he he was
• 8:26
  disqualified too because he was there was some shims missing in
• 8:30
  this spoiler package. So so Ryan Priest who runs
• 8:34
  second and Joey Logano both disqualified Well after the
• 8:39
  race. Chipper Jones sees all this and
• 8:44
  keeps retweeting it, re sharing it.
• 8:47
  It's like Chipper Jones has not let off the gas.
• 8:51
  Chipper Jones does not like Joey Logano.
• 8:53
  Going to be good to see those two get together.
• 8:55
  Hash it out. But I suggest that I suspect
• 8:59
  this is where this comes from. When you play baseball, it's a
• 9:04
  team sport. You know you got it, you got to
• 9:06
  do your job. It's it's you guys against the
• 9:09
  other team. Of course you are off the bat.
• 9:11
  Sometimes you got to, you know, lay a sacrifice butt down.
• 9:15
  You know, sometimes you just want to make contact to get that
• 9:18
  runner in from 3rd. So it is a team sport.
• 9:21
  I know a lot about baseball. Don't test me, don't test me.
• 9:24
  I know everything about baseball.
• 9:29
  This goes on all night long. So much to work.
• 9:32
  Dale Junior goes, Oh my God, Chipper, you know, laughing.
• 9:38
  So we're going to see where this heads today.
• 9:42
  Chipper Jones gets on X and says Joey Logano is only a good
• 9:47
  teammate if he's the one ahead. Now listen, we can talk all
• 9:52
  about who should a trail break and this and that coming to the
• 9:55
  end of the second stage. Bottom line was I'm telling you
• 10:00
  what happened. But listen, I like Joey Logano,
• 10:04
  one of the nicest guys I've ever met.
• 10:07
  But I don't know what Joey was expected out of Austin.
• 10:12
  I'm thinking, I'm thinking, I'm thinking Joey Logano was just
• 10:15
  pissed because he thought it was going to win that second stage.
• 10:20
  But how how was Austin's Austin centered second in line?
• 10:24
  What? I mean, nobody's really wrecked
• 10:27
  out at this point. I mean, you know, we had we had
• 10:29
  the pit Rd. fiasco and stuff, but I mean, you still got 30
• 10:34
  cars in this race and Austin's right there.
• 10:36
  What's Austin going to do? Let you know trail break and
• 10:39
  slow the line down and ask back Everybody listen, you're you're
• 10:44
  you're taking a lot in your hands, causing an accident.
• 10:47
  Coming to the come to the checkered of the second stage.
• 10:51
  There's as the boys say, there's a lot of energy.
• 10:54
  We're wide open. We're pushing every We're not
• 10:56
  saving gas. We're not saving gas.
• 10:58
  Coming to the checkered flag for the second stage win and Max 10
• 11:03
  points. We're wide open.
• 11:06
  I don't think Austin Sanders going to go trail break it
• 11:10
  because he wants his teammate to win the stage.
• 11:13
  You know, it'd be trail break and then ass pack and and big
• 11:17
  wreck. I know y'all are great.
• 11:20
  I know I'm the greatest and all that shit, but you think you're
• 11:24
  going to trail break and slow that line up to let Joey win and
• 11:28
  all this is going to start wrecking back here.
• 11:32
  Chipper Jones. All right, everybody have a
• 11:39
  great, great Monday.
