• 0:00
  Happy Thursday morning everybody.
• 0:04
  Just a touch of business first before we get onto the subject
• 0:08
  at hand. Charlie, Marlo and myself, we
• 0:11
  wanted to try something, so we've been speeding up
• 0:14
  everything. We've done some coffee with
• 0:17
  Kenny's that were two minutes long.
• 0:19
  We've done some coffee with Kenny's that are 5 minutes long
• 0:24
  and you all started complaining that they weren't long enough.
• 0:30
  I love you guys and I appreciate your information.
• 0:34
  I saw a couple comments on social media and they said
• 0:38
  Herman, we've been paying attention.
• 0:41
  We don't like it when you speed this stuff up and it is forced.
• 0:46
  In other words, when I speed the things up, I do force it.
• 0:50
  I cut things short. Come to find out all of you and
• 0:56
  myself, we've become a team here and you can definitely tell when
• 1:00
  I tried to speed things up, 99% of these conversations they take
• 1:06
  just surprisingly they they do take over 5 minutes to get
• 1:09
  going. So I hear you all loud and clear
• 1:12
  and I'm not going to try to make things longer, but we tried to
• 1:16
  make things shorter and you all did not like it.
• 1:20
  Now, there might be some of you that like it, but for the most
• 1:23
  part I hear you. So I just wanted you to know
• 1:27
  that yes, you're right. We we were trying things over
• 1:31
  the last week. OK, so now that that's been
• 1:34
  said, let's take a drink of coffee and get to the subject at
• 1:38
  hand. NASCAR is the gift that just
• 1:46
  keeps giving me. Breaking news in the garage area
• 1:52
  again. Again.
• 1:55
  My God, I love it. Steve O'Donnell is the president
• 2:01
  of NASCAR and NASCAR called Dirty MO Media.
• 2:07
  They called Dale Junior. Yes, they did.
• 2:10
  And they said, hey, Dale Junior, can we come on your show and you
• 2:14
  let us announce the new horsepower package.
• 2:18
  So as we've always said, my friend Dale Junior is a powerful
• 2:26
  man and everybody wants to go on Junior's podcast so they can
• 2:31
  announce things. So NASCAR, NASCAR, Steve
• 2:35
  O'Donnell, the president of NASCAR, goes on Dirty MO
• 2:38
  meeting. Now I want all of you to watch
• 2:40
  it because right there you will. You will get knowledge.
• 2:44
  Knowledge is power. So let's go through it.
• 2:49
  Steve O'Donnell says we aired years ago.
• 2:54
  What that mean aired means it it it's spelled ERRED.
• 2:59
  It means we up NASCAR aired years ago.
• 3:06
  They gave up their middle class fans and they quit those race
• 3:12
  tracks. They shut Wilkesboro down.
• 3:14
  They shut rocking him down, all to go out West.
• 3:20
  And it backfired on them. And Steve O'Donnell said that he
• 3:25
  said they messed up and they're going to make it right.
• 3:30
  And Steve O'Donnell said, listen, we're back at
• 3:32
  Wilkesboro. We're back at Bowman Gray.
• 3:35
  And that's why it is OK for us to go out and run that street
• 3:40
  horse race. If you want to call it out there
• 3:43
  on the Air Force Base, it's like 3 to 1 now, right?
• 3:48
  OK, so NASCAR knows they messed up.
• 3:52
  They're apologizing you, they making it right.
• 3:54
  So let's celebrate that. Now.
• 3:56
  I know some of you are going to mother for a while just because
• 3:59
  you can, you know you're going to you're going to get mad at me
• 4:03
  and you should. NASCAR does deserve an ass
• 4:06
  chewing for a little bit. But don't make it too long,
• 4:10
  everybody. It gets exhausting.
• 4:11
  So I'm allowing you to go ahead and chew NASCAR's ass out for a
• 4:15
  while. But they admitted it right there
• 4:17
  on The Dirty MO Media podcast. Go watch it.
• 4:20
  Go watch it. Steve O'Donnell apologizes to
• 4:24
  all of you. So NASCAR said, OK, we're going
• 4:27
  to go. They're going back to
• 4:29
  Rockingham. Not Cup, but everything else.
• 4:32
  They're going back to Rockingham.
• 4:34
  They are. I mean, we're full blown at
• 4:36
  Wilkesboro points race and everything.
• 4:41
  And of course, Bowman Gray. So, so 3 to 1, going back to
• 4:47
  three of the old tracks so they can go to the road course race
• 4:51
  on the Air Force Base. OK.
• 4:54
  I wanted you to know that the next thing NASCAR said is that
• 5:01
  they're going to change the points.
• 5:04
  They're going to change the points.
• 5:06
  But like I've told you 100 times, guys, you got to let the
• 5:10
  year get over with. They're not going to change the
• 5:12
  points with four races to go in the season.
• 5:15
  They're changing the points because they hear you, they hear
• 5:20
  you. You all have made a difference.
• 5:22
  They're going to change the points.
• 5:23
  But Steve O'Donnell said we're going to change these points
• 5:26
  when the season's over. We don't want that to rule the
• 5:32
  story headline. They don't want to talk about
• 5:35
  changing the points right now and and telling you what they're
• 5:38
  going to do because they don't want it to muddy the waters.
• 5:40
  Let's let's let's crown this champion right now.
• 5:43
  We can't change the points right now.
• 5:46
  So you all spoke up. We've got all the old tracks
• 5:51
  back or changing the points and yes, now for the one you've all
• 5:58
  been waiting for, go watch it. Go watch Dale Junior because
• 6:03
  you're going to ask a question right now.
• 6:06
  They said they're going to up the horsepower.
• 6:10
  And I don't want to say this. You all, you don't know they
• 6:13
  need more horsepower, but you hear the drivers say it.
• 6:18
  That's another thing that Steve O'Donnell said.
• 6:20
  He said I wish these drivers would get behind some of the
• 6:24
  things we do because when you hear the drivers complain about
• 6:27
  horsepower, then all of you, then it gets in your head and
• 6:30
  you're like, yeah, yeah. Kozlowski said we need more
• 6:35
  horsepower. NASCAR.
• 6:37
  Yeah, I hate NASCAR. We need more.
• 6:39
  So then the drivers influence your brain.
• 6:44
  You don't know they need more horsepower just listening to the
• 6:46
  drivers, NASCAR said. Steve O'Donnell once again, I'm
• 6:52
  going to say for the 4th time, go listen.
• 6:54
  Go listen. Wednesday's Dirty MO Media,
• 6:58
  Steve O'Donnell. So he does want the drivers to
• 7:02
  get behind what they're doing, All right, They're going to add
• 7:08
  80 horsepower to the cars next year.
• 7:11
  Right now they're at 670. They're going to go to 750 now.
• 7:18
  I've already seen it. I've always said you all can't
• 7:20
  help yourself. I said, oh, as soon as they
• 7:22
  change the points and give the fans what they want, they going
• 7:24
  to bitch about something else. So here you all go.
• 7:28
  I've already seen it. That ain't enough 750.
• 7:32
  That's not enough. Well, if you listen to Steve
• 7:37
  O'Donnell, he tells you that all the motor people said let's
• 7:41
  start there. It's like when I told you all
• 7:45
  that it was the NASCAR car owners that started this Next
• 7:48
  Gen. car, but you all don't want to hear it.
• 7:51
  You all have selective hearing. It was the Cup car owners that
• 7:57
  said they wanted this Next Gen. car and this is exactly the car
• 8:00
  they wanted. That's why you hear Rodger
• 8:03
  Penske talking so positive. This is the car Rodger Penske
• 8:07
  wants because it's AV8 car from Australia.
• 8:11
  The Next Gen. car. Rodger Penske owns A-Team over
• 8:16
  there. Rodger Penske owns AV eight team
• 8:19
  from Australia. So this, this Next Gen. car is
• 8:24
  what the car owners wanted. All of them did.
• 8:27
  So now I'm reminding you all that this new 750 horsepower,
• 8:32
  this is what the motor builders wanted.
• 8:37
  So before you all start bitching, we need more
• 8:40
  horsepower. I hate NASCAR.
• 8:43
  The motor builders said that's what they want.
• 8:46
  Let's take 8080 horseback because they said they figured
• 8:51
  it out with the motor builders to go to go up to 900,000, it
• 8:55
  would cost $40 million. Now you're a smart ass.
• 9:00
  So you go. It ain't got nothing to do with
• 9:02
  the money. Hell, they waste that kind of
• 9:04
  money. Well, yeah, but let a man waste
• 9:07
  his money the way he wants to waste it, not the way you tell
• 9:10
  him to waste him. Hell, we're sitting on the couch
• 9:12
  telling him what to do. OK, that's it, everybody.
• 9:19
  Your voice has been heard. Now don't ruin it.
• 9:23
  Be happy we've gone back to three tracks and changing the
• 9:27
  points system to helping the horsepower.
• 9:30
  Have a great Thursday, everybody.
