  Hey, Josie. What are you doing?

  Huh. Are you crazy?

  You love me. Did Daddy put a shot collar on
• 0:10
  you? Daryl?
• 0:11
  Daryl, did you put a shot collar on you?
• 0:14
  Got to shock you. Sometimes you don't listen.
• 0:16
  She's like Kenny Wallace. She's wound tight.
• 0:18
  Sometimes you got to put a little shot collar.
• 0:20
  On me. Are you going to put a shot
• 0:21
  collar on me? They give it.
• 0:23
  Next. Daryl said if you don't drive
• 0:26
  that race car ride, put a shot collar on you.
• 0:29
  OK, so Daryl, this is Daryl Hoffman.
• 0:34
  Everybody not been bragging on him because he built my motors
• 0:37
  way back when and that's how we got our relationship.
• 0:41
  So this is a really weird deal out here.
• 0:44
  We've been coming to Lucia. How many years?
• 0:47
  Since a long time. Yeah, early 2000.
• 0:53
  We have, yeah. And So what do we call this?
• 0:57
  We just got winded out everybody, the ASOC Sprint cars,
• 1:03
  I think we're looking at like 60 to 70 mile an hour gusts.
• 1:06
  The flags are straight out. And the first two heat races,
• 1:09
  they flip Sprint cars. Nick and everybody remind me
• 1:13
  they they cancelled, they cancelled Sprint car races
• 1:16
  because of high winds. It's cold.
• 1:18
  It ain't just windy, it's cold. It's been.
• 1:22
  Oh, Josie. Jodie.
• 1:23
  What do you want? What's wrong, baby?
• 1:25
  Come here to Poppy. Yeah, she's a baby doggy.
• 1:28
  Josie seeks attention like Kenny Wallace, don't you?
• 1:32
  Yes, you do. What are you doing?
• 1:36
  Oh, what are you doing? Say hi there.
• 1:37
  Oh, look, my jacket's moving. And Josie said what the heck?
• 1:42
  OK. So anyway, the point is, they
• 1:46
  cancelled everything on this Saturday night.
• 1:49
  It's cold. It's windy.
• 1:52
  So they're saying that like Ricky Thornton hit the wall.
• 1:58
  Mitch, our neighbor, he hit the wall.
• 2:00
  Yeah, just. Drove her in there and.
• 2:02
  Couldn't turn. High winds.
• 2:03
  Winds hit. The ball and pick that thing up.
• 2:06
  Yeah, hit the fence. All right, We're going to Mosey
• 2:08

  Darren. What's going on with you?
• 2:12
  Crazy. What's going on with you?

• 2:18
  Kendall. Josey in the house.
• 2:21
  Look at Josey, Josie loves his owner.
• 2:26
  There's Mitch. I feel so bad for him.
• 2:29
  So Mitch, a good racer, he was on the front right side, went
• 2:34
  down that corner and the wind just took the card.
• 2:37
  Some like 70 mile an hour gusts. You wouldn't think it would
• 2:40
  bother an old mod, but these things are arrow and the track's
• 2:46
  fast so. Loading up.
• 2:57
  OK, This is the man that builds my shocks.
• 3:00
  This is the guy. This is the guy I was talking
• 3:02
  about the other day. Katie.

  Damn. You told me too.
• 3:09
  You said now go win a feature. So this is Ryan Rose now with
• 3:13
  Gerald, it's shocks. And you build the hell out of
• 3:16
  shocks. How long you been building
• 3:18
  shocks? There's Cal Bronson.
• 3:19
  What's he saying? I was cheering for you last
• 3:23
  night. Good job, Cal Bronson, the late
• 3:25
  model racer. We we grew up running mods
• 3:28
  together and we're good friends. OK, so anyway, wow. 10-15 years,

  I know those places. Yeah.
• 3:51
  Those are my wife's offices. My wife goes up there and
• 3:54
  supports the Indian casinos. OK, well, you got me dialed in.
• 4:00
  The car's good. And and you do You do a great
• 4:02
  job on my shocks at home, too. Then bull.
• 4:05
  Then bull rings down here. It's like flying an airplane.
• 4:10
  It's super speaking. Tried to take off here on a turn
• 4:12
  too, just like Ricky do. I know.
• 4:14
  I feel bad for him over there. Man, They got a lot of people.
• 4:18
  Look at Nick's always on the phone.
• 4:19
  Nick. Nick, why are you always on the
• 4:21
  phone? I'm doing content.
• 4:22
  What? I work hard for a living.
• 4:24
  Yeah, all. You've heard that anymore, hey?
• 4:27
  Professional mouse. Runner, both of you get
• 4:28
  together, all three of us. OK, so Nick, you got over 20
• 4:33
  cars down here. You had 17 out the top 24 last
• 4:37
  night, but you're on the phone all the time.
• 4:39
  How do you balance that? All your customers calling you,
• 4:43
  how do you do that well? I got a lot going on at home too
• 4:45
  right now with a lot of foot of snow, so kind of put mount
• 4:49
  fires. But as far as here, it's not too
• 4:50
  difficult. When everybody's down here in
• 4:52
  the Gator pond, you kind of swing around and try and help
• 4:54
  whoever I can. But yeah, it's a lot of, I got
• 4:58
  probably over 300 cars racing across the country.
• 5:00
  Obviously nobody's racing right now unless you're here.
• 5:02
  So yeah, it's good and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
• 5:06
  That's what I do for a living. So put our chassis building hat
• 5:10
  on for this week and our race for driver hat next week, next
• 5:12
  week. So before we got going in our
• 5:15
  heat race, as you said, they got what they call like a I'm going
• 5:18
  to have fun with this like a cyclonic bomb.
• 5:21
  But there's almost a foot of snow at your race shop and your
• 5:24
  brother-in-law, your sister, your wife, Lacy, what the hell
• 5:30
  is going on back there? They they're.
• 5:32
  Busy showing. You think we'd be in Saint
• 5:35
  Louis? Not We're not used to this much
• 5:38
  snow. So yeah, they're trying to load
• 5:40
  up bumpers and parts spring down here for guys that are running
• 5:43
  over. Crashing, whatever.
• 5:45
  So. Nick says it the way it is.
• 5:47
  You think I'm bad? Yeah.
• 5:49
  So, so yeah, I mean, I'm down here trying to make a living and
• 5:52
  so, you know, selling bumpers and and stuff works out.
• 5:55
  We ran out so they have to bring me stuff.
• 5:58
  Jeremy got the forklift stuff stuck.
• 6:00
  They're. Trying to bring you stuff and
• 6:02
  there's over a foot of snow, yeah.
• 6:04
  So they're coming down tomorrow to try and get us enough parts
• 6:07
  to get us through for the rest of the week.
• 6:09
  So yeah, it's going really good. We had 17 cars in the future,
• 6:13
  you know, we've been seven of the top ten both nights.
• 6:18
  Six out of. Eight.
• 6:18
  He races both nights. You know, back in the Midwest, I
• 6:24
  raced Mike Harrison a lot, and they all make fun of me because
• 6:29
  I'm an asphalt racer and I say, well, for me to run good, my
• 6:31
  cars have got a handle. And I want to thank you for
• 6:34
  making my cars handle you. You're, you're, I'm an old man
• 6:38
  now, but you, you giving me a lot of happiness down here
• 6:41
  because you you put me in a fast race car and I want everybody to
• 6:44
  know how much I appreciate you. Yeah, it's actually enjoyable
• 6:47
  for me because I've always been a driver crew chief and I'm only
• 6:50
  crew chief myself, you know, So this is the only time or the
• 6:52
  first time I've ever been able to watch a car go around
• 6:55
  racetrack and actually work on it or tell you what I feel like
• 6:59
  it needs or whatever. We can discuss that.
• 7:03
  It's kind of the first time I've ever been on this side of the
• 7:05
  fence of being just an actual crew chief and it's different
• 7:08
  for me and it's fun. So obviously we're we're
• 7:11
  competitive. We're damn near running in the
• 7:13
  top five. Every nine have a shot at
• 7:14
  winning the races. So I'm happy with it.
• 7:18
  All you can do is try and get better every time you get the
• 7:20
  race track. Nick, you're really young and I
• 7:23
  want to tell you a quick story. Winning like this, Everybody way
• 7:26
  back, the great Larry Phillips, This track used to be asphalt.
• 7:30
  Larry Phillips. I come out here and I was in
• 7:32
  NASCAR at that time. Larry looked at me, took a smoke
• 7:35
  out of his cigarette. He's like, he did something like
• 7:37
  this. Larry Phillips went like this,
• 7:39
  Herman, he's looking right at me.
• 7:41
  He's my hero. He says get in my car and run it
• 7:43
  so I can see what it's doing. And I parallel that with you
• 7:47
  right now. Sometimes you like to see your
• 7:49
  car. Yeah, and I don't get to do it
• 7:51
  very often, especially the, you know, my personal stuff, you
• 7:54
  know, you're you're used to seeing videos or whatever and
• 7:57
  that's all you can kind of go by.
• 7:58
  But actually work on the car, make an adjustment just to be
• 8:02
  able to watch you racing and see what it does on the racetrack.
• 8:05
  I think does a lot for me and it helps me with my business too,
• 8:07
  like helping these guys down the line.
• 8:10
  Any anybody else that's down here racing, just kind of tell
• 8:13
  them like, hey, this is what we adjusted in what it looked like
• 8:16
  it did and talking to. You and.
• 8:18
  Getting feedback. So it's pretty interesting to
• 8:21
  get this kind of side of the defense, but it's fine.
• 8:24
  This is, you know, what I started the chassis company for
• 8:27
  and you know, and it's worked out pretty well.
• 8:30
  All right, everybody, we did it. I'm freezing now because I was,
• 8:35
  I was going to a well digger's ass.
• 8:37
  I called her a well digger's ass.
• 8:38
  All right. Thank you, Nick.
• 8:41
  Appreciate it. Thank you, Ryan.
• 8:43
  Yes, Sir. Uh, or.
• 8:47
  Why? Did I?
• 8:48
  Think of that. That's the other one.
• 8:50
  We'll get you too. You'd never thought it, but that
• 8:58
  wind was brutal. Alright everybody, I hope you
• 9:00
  like that. Just an impromptu deal and, uh,
• 9:03
  talk to you later.
