  I want to pay my condolences to the Golden Boys family, the

• 0:53
  Kyle Petty said to me. He goes, you know, Herm, Freddie

• 1:03
  And I said, tell me more. Kyle Petty, He said, yeah, He
• 1:07
  said Freddie Lorenzen, his nickname was the Golden Boy.
• 1:12
  He didn't race a lot in NASCAR, but his short time in NASCAR and
• 1:17
  the time that he raced, he won more than anybody.
• 1:21
  So my prayers to the great Freddie Lorenzen the Golden Boy.
• 1:29
  That was a time in NASCAR history.
• 1:33
  I guess you could say it was golden, right?
• 1:35
  That I don't know why they gave him that Golden Boy nickname.
• 1:38
  Respond right here with why they called Freddie Lorenzen the
• 1:43
  Golden Boy. Freddie Lorenzen has died and on
• 1:48
  December 18th, 2024. All right, everybody, let's take
• 1:55
  a sip of coffee before we move on.
• 2:03
  OK, Deep breath now. We, we not going to get mad this
• 2:07

• 2:10
  Larry McReynolds. We're going to skip some words.

  We not going to get mad this morning instead of we are not

• 2:21
  morning. We're not going to get jacked up
• 2:24
  on sun Drop and start screaming. We're going to keep our voice
• 2:27
  just like this, OK? I'm not a judge.
• 2:33
  I'm not into legal verbiage. But yesterday, on December 18th,
• 2:41
  let me get it right, I got it wrote down here.
• 2:44
  Judge Kenneth D Bell said NASCAR is a monopoly.
• 2:54
  Whoa. OK, I'm going to say it one more
• 2:57
  time. I didn't say this a big time
• 3:00
  judge, like, like a big time judge Kenneth D Bell, he ruled
• 3:08
  that NASCAR is a monopoly. Now it's it's his.
• 3:16
  His ruling is shared everywhere on social media.
• 3:21
  So I don't want to hear it. I don't want to hear it, OK?
• 3:27
  That's what he said. So.
• 3:30
  So talk to him, not ME3. I'm going to say it for the
• 3:35
  third time, just for Earnhardt, Judge Kenneth D Bell.
• 3:40
  He ruled NASCAR as a monopoly. All right, now let's let's talk
• 3:48
  about it. OK, Let's talk about that.
• 3:51
  OK, Now I know I was a little bit of a smart ass right there,
• 3:55
  but see, I don't, I don't want to hear it because here's why.
• 3:59
  Now we're going to talk about it.
• 4:01
  There's a phenomenon that happened.
• 4:04
  A phenomenon means something that is like rare, like whoa,
• 4:09
  like he's a phenomenon. We didn't see him coming.
• 4:13
  Well, one thing we never saw coming was this.
• 4:19
  The fans, a lot of you, a lot of the older fans that that love
• 4:26
  NASCAR, but they hate NASCAR too because the olden days are gone.
• 4:32
  They're mad at NASCAR because they're old and NASCAR is not
• 4:37
  the way it used to be. All of you are mad at 2311 in
• 4:45
  front row that they're suing NASCAR and now they won this
• 4:50
  preliminary injunction. So this phenomenon rages.
• 4:55
  It's like, OK, this doesn't make sense.
• 4:57
  The fans, the old school fans that want to talk bad about
• 5:01
  NASCAR. It's kind of like I can talk bad
• 5:04
  about NASCAR but not you. So this phenomenon is crazy, but
• 5:11
  it it the fans will talk bad about NASCAR, the old school
• 5:15
  fans, because you're mad that the olden days are gone.
• 5:19
  Like you talk crap about NASCAR all the time, but now you're mad
• 5:24
  at 2311 and Front Row Motorsports that they sued
• 5:27
  NASCAR. OK, respond right here.
• 5:30
  Tell me why that is. You talk bad about NASCAR, but
• 5:35
  but you don't want the judge. You don't You don't want Judge
• 5:39
  Kenneth D Bell to talk bad about NASCAR.
• 5:43
  So that's a weird one. OK, let's break this down now.
• 5:48
  Hey, Herman, dumb it down so us kids that went one through 8 can
• 5:54
  understand this. All right, I'll do it.
• 5:58
  That was funny. You got to admit it.
• 6:00
  That was funny. All right, go put my coffee mug
• 6:05
  down a little bit. OK, let me dumb this down OK,
• 6:13
  2311 in front row Motorsport did not sign their charter agreement
• 6:19
  for 2025. And the reason they did not sign
• 6:24
  it is because they did not believe in the in the new
• 6:29
  charter agreement. OK, I'm not going to repeat
• 6:33
  myself. You heard what I said.
• 6:36
  Now, however, 2311, Michael Jordan, Denny Hamlin and Front
• 6:45
  Row Motorsport, they're suing NASCAR for for monopolistic
• 6:51
  practices and the judge agreed. The judge said, wow, NASCAR is a
• 6:58
  monopoly. They are the only game in town.
• 7:01
  There's no weather. There's no other place to go and
• 7:03
  do do this. You can't race on NASCAR.
• 7:07
  There's there's no other. There's no other NASCAR.
• 7:10
  Just like the judge said, read a statement, You read his
• 7:13
  statement, it's all over NASCAR. But here's what, here's where
• 7:18
  the the lawsuit, the preliminary injunction.
• 7:22
  OK, so while 2311 in front row, while they're suing NASCAR for
• 7:28
  monopolistic practices, 2311 in front row said, well, we want a
• 7:34
  preliminary injunction. We want to race in 2025 as a
• 7:40
  charter team, but we're not signing this charter agreement
• 7:44
  'cause we don't like it. We're not signing this.
• 7:46
  However, we do want to race with a charter it it's kind of like
• 7:54
  you want your cake and eat it too.
• 7:56
  So they they went to court for this, this situation.
• 8:01
  OK, Now I do want to be very clear.
• 8:05
  This was a monumental, monumental win for 2311 and
• 8:12
  Front Row Motorsport only for 2025.
• 8:15
  Now I'm going to be repeat that again.
• 8:17
  This is a victory only for 2025. Judge Kenneth D Bell said 2311
• 8:27
  and Front Row have won. They've won their preliminary
• 8:30
  injunction only for 2025. It sounds like the judge is
• 8:36
  going to give it a year and figure out this whole situation
• 8:42
  in 2026. So basically this whole deal is
• 8:46
  going to go on for a year and a half, two years as expected.
• 8:51
  OK, does everybody understand? I'm not.
• 8:54
  I'm not going to repeat it because you all tell me.
• 8:56
  I repeat myself. So I'm assuming you understood
• 8:59
  me. I'm a little bit of a smart ass
• 9:01
  this morning. OK, all right, Ain't nothing
• 9:04
  wrong with that. Just sometimes I'm a prick and I
• 9:09
  feel like that this morning, OK, now why is this a big deal if
• 9:16
  you go back? I said nobody has ever beaten
• 9:22
  NASCAR in a legal judgment ever. So this is a shocking blow and
• 9:31
  I'm going to leave you with this.
• 9:34
  Major NASCAR executive texted me and said one word on the ruling.
• 9:43
  Stunning. Do you hear what I just said?
• 9:47
  A major NASCAR executive texted me last night, on December 18th,
• 9:53
  on that Wednesday evening, and they texted me this.
• 9:58
  Stunning. People are shocked and stunned
• 10:03
  because NASCAR has never, ever lost a legal judgment court
• 10:09
  case. And if they have, respond right
• 10:12
  here. But I don't ever remember
• 10:15
  because as I've always said, NASCAR has got friends in
• 10:19
  Washington, DC. And when that, now this is my,
• 10:22
  this is my opinion. When NASCAR goes to do something
• 10:25
  big, they go to make sure they right.
• 10:28
  They they're going to make sure they're right.
• 10:31
  December 18th, 2024, NASCAR lost its first huge court case.
• 10:40
  Big one. Not a little one.
• 10:42
  Big one because 2311 in front row, they don't want anything.
• 10:49
  They don't want anything. All they want is NASCAR to come
• 10:53
  back to the bargaining table and give the teams a bigger portion.
• 10:59
  OK, NASCAR saying we did give you a bigger portion.
• 11:03
  We spent two years on this arguing with you all, we're
• 11:07
  done, take it or leave it. And that's what NASCAR said.
• 11:13
  They said take this or leave it. So a lot of the old school
• 11:17
  owners like a Richard Childress or Rick Hendrick, they got tired
• 11:21
  and they just signed it. Well, Michael Jordan, being the
• 11:25
  fighter and gamer, he is one of the greatest basketball players
• 11:29
  of all time. He said we're not signing this.
• 11:34
  And Can you believe they won? OK, well, now, I will admit
• 11:39
  everybody, on a different note, I have a little bit of a cold.
• 11:43
  I'm a little cranky. I'm a little cranky.
• 11:47
  All right, respond right here. I think I've said everything I
• 11:52
  need to say. I told you the ruling, and I
• 11:55
  told you I don't want to hear it.
• 11:57
  Go, go, go, go. Tell Kenneth D Bell he was the
• 12:01
  judge that ruled that said NASCAR is a monopoly, and I told
• 12:05
  you why it's the biggest deal in NASCAR history.
• 12:09
  I gave you my opinion. See, I just gave you my opinion.
• 12:14
  All right? It's early in the morning.
• 12:17
  It's 625 Central in Saint Louis, so it's 7/25, and all of you at
• 12:25
  Penske Racing are watching this because you guys start some
• 12:28
  stupid time in the morning so you all can get off at 2:30.
• 12:34
  I know that, I know that. Hello to all the race teams out
• 12:39
  there. I see you watching me this
• 12:41
  morning. All right, have a great Thursday
• 12:45
