  Happy Sunday morning, everybody. I think everybody's starting to
• 0:09
  come in the house. That's Mila.
• 0:11
  That's the grandbaby. Oh, here comes Lila and Brody
• 0:16
  and Brittany. Look at this.
• 0:20
  Look at everybody come to see Poppy.
• 0:23
  We just started coffee with Kenny.
• 0:26
  Hi, Lila. Oh my God.
• 0:29
  Oh my God. They're Grammy.
• 0:36
  Lila, where are you going? We starting coffee with Kenny.
• 0:40
  You want to be on it? Oh, she coming to see Mila.
• 0:43
  Oh, hi, Lila. Good morning.
• 0:50
  What are you doing race car driver about?
• 0:52
  To head in the shop for a few. Minutes.
• 0:54
  You going to unload that car for me?
• 0:55
  I'm going to. Unload the.
• 0:56
  Car for you. I would love you forever Well,
• 1:00
  weren't we lucky that's Brody, my son-in-law.
• 1:05
  He knows I'm going to go up to Quincy today and race and he's
• 1:10
  going to unload the car for me, put it on Jack stands, fill it
• 1:14
  full of fuel and charge the battery.
• 1:18
  And then I will go up there and I got my tires organized and
• 1:23
  I'll change the gear. I'll take your ivory spring off
• 1:26
  and I'll check the load. But Brody saves my life.
• 1:31
  For the record, he does 99.9% of all his own own work, but this
• 1:37
  is day three of prepping for a race and he's 62, so I figured
• 1:41
  I'd help him out just a little. Bit a true story.
• 1:46
  He loves me, he loves me. I think I'll shave tomorrow.
• 1:50
  Well, because we got a Herman Schrader.
• 1:54
  OK. Wow, that was wild.
• 1:58
  So I woke up in New York City in a funky, cheap hotel.
• 2:04
  She took my heart. She took my money.
• 2:07
  She must have lived me. Well, you got crazy.
• 2:10
  That's Lila. Lila's got a sister on the way.
• 2:15
  Our youngest baby, Brittany. Brittany's getting ready to
• 2:19
  have. Do you know the name of the new
• 2:21
  baby that's coming in September? What's the name of it?
• 2:24
  Can you talk? Are you full runny?
• 2:29
  It rhymes with Kenny. It's Lenny Leni.
• 2:35
  And what do you got all over your neck?
• 2:37
  Is that Taylor Swift? Oh, you love Taylor Swift.
• 2:41
  What in the world? OK, OK, everybody, sorry for the
• 2:45
  three minutes of awesomeness right there.
• 2:48
  But you caught it. You caught it.
• 2:51
  It was live. Remember Brent Musburger?
• 2:55
  You're looking live, all right. Just got out of bed about 10:21.
• 3:03
  We raced in Charleston, IL last night.
• 3:07
  So our local racetrack, they canceled because of extreme
• 3:11
  heat. Couple 3 weeks ago they ran a
• 3:14
  local race in this 100 and 515° weather with the horrible
• 3:20
  humidity index and they pulled some people out of there in the
• 3:25
  ambulance or as Earnhardt say the ambulance.
• 3:31
  So they canceled. Well when they canceled, I
• 3:35
  looked at all the tracks and 147 miles from here, 2 hours 32
• 3:41
  minutes, Charleston, IL and temperatures were way nicer up
• 3:46
  there, about 10° cooler, hardly very low humidity.
• 3:51
  So we went up there, 20 modifieds entered and 20 started
• 3:57
  the A main and we set QuickTime. I was up there about 3 years ago
• 4:05
  and we won. It's a good track.
• 4:08
  There's some good hot rods up there, Slippery racetrack.
• 4:12
  We set QuickTime on our heat and won the feature.
• 4:16
  So now we're going to Quincy, we going to finish it off.
• 4:22
  I'm a nut, OK. I looked at everything to do
• 4:31
  with NASCAR. First of all, I know that it was
• 4:38
  a good look. I saw the videos.
• 4:41
  Now I know that they took out seats down the back straight
• 4:45
  away and I guess some seats and turns 3 and four, they took them
• 4:48
  out a buddy. For as miserable as you all are,
• 4:56
  people don't go to the racetrack hating NASCAR and if they do,
• 4:59
  then they're dumb. But that that crowd on that
• 5:02
  front straight away, that was a damn good looking NASCAR crowd.
• 5:07
  And I know for a fact that when I go to this this next race at
• 5:10
  Bristol coming up, I'll be there for trackside live and we
• 5:13
  already got some great drivers to interview.
• 5:16
  The people at the racetrack are happy guys, girls, It just ain't
• 5:23
  lining up something ain't right. Need to have a professional
• 5:27
  company to do something because there's too many people at these
• 5:32
  race tracks. Remember what we said?
• 5:34
  I said to my buddy last night, old Billy Smith, I said Billy.
• 5:38
  I said, you know, NASCAR just ain't what it used to be.
• 5:42
  And Billy said it right and I want to share it with you today.
• 5:45
  He said nothing is Herman. I said, wow, I'm going to use
• 5:50
  that on coffee with Kenny tomorrow.
• 5:52
  So we don't have seats. We don't have seats like we used
• 5:56
  to have. But the seats they have sold
• 5:58
  out, what, 50,000 people, 50,000 people.
• 6:04
  That was a damn good look and a damn good race last night.
• 6:07
  I'm going to tell you what, nobody, nobody saw Austin Dillon
• 6:14
  leading 107 laps and pass them three wide off the bottom turn 2
• 6:19
  to get in the lead and just just, you know, oh, we got kids
• 6:25
  everywhere. I won three Xfinity races there.
• 6:28
  And that was my honey corner. Turn 2 on the bottom, buddy.
• 6:32
  I'd follow that yellow. I'd get down, there's Brandy.
• 6:35
  I'd get down in turn 1. I'd, I'd go down that wall and
• 6:41
  hey, come here crazy. Who loves you?
• 6:45
  Yeah, my oldest grandbaby. I can't let you go.
• 6:48
  Say hi, everybody. Poppy got about 10.
• 6:51
  And Mila and Jade Lila once in on the show, ladies and
• 6:55
  gentlemen. And let me get this.
• 6:57
  Oh, am IA lucky, man. Say hello, everybody.
• 7:03
  Say we love you. So it's Mila, Jade, Lila and
• 7:11
  Charlotte. And who do we got coming with?
• 7:15
  Jets? Not here.
• 7:17
  Jets our only boy. And in September, what what baby
• 7:20
  do we have coming? What's the name?
• 7:22
  Lenny. Lenny, Ellie and I.
• 7:26
  All right, say goodbye, everybody.
• 7:29
  So respond right here. Explain.
• 7:34
  Tell me, what is your reason of looking so good at Richmond?
• 7:39
  Why did Richmond look so good? Why was the race so good?
• 7:44
  Remember, this car is not supposed to do good on short
• 7:47
  tracks. Why was that race so good?
• 7:51
  There's a lot of crickets this morning.
• 7:52
  I scrolled everything. I scrolled everything.
• 7:56
  So hey, it's fair. You guys jump my ass.
• 7:59
  I'm jumping your ass right now. The car's horrible, but it was a
• 8:03
  hell of a race. Nobody likes NASCAR, but it was
• 8:07
  sold out and it looked good. You could see the crowd.
• 8:12
  OK, so I I told you turn 2 is my my honey hole buddy.
• 8:17
  I'd, I'd RIP and grip right there.
• 8:19
  And that's what that's what he did.
• 8:22
  That's what Austin Dillon did. And where the hell did that come
• 8:25
  from? Maybe they didn't quit working.
• 8:27
  Maybe Richard children's facing. Maybe they did not quit working
• 8:31
  and they found a little something.
• 8:34
  Now, if turn 2 is my my good corner turn threes while all
• 8:38
  hell broke loose for me all the time, because when I get down in
• 8:42
  that that that thing goes down there and then it dies.
• 8:44
  It makes that right front want to get over.
• 8:47
  You always going to get loose getting into turn 3.
• 8:50
  All hell broke loose and they had a big right there.
• 8:53
  That's why you saw Ryan Priest, you know, get loose, get up into
• 8:57
  the 45 of Reddick. Turn 3 is the corner does like
• 9:01
  that. I've always put a little an anti
• 9:03
  dive in my right front upper 8 frame for some of you racers
• 9:06
  that know what that means when we did a lot of tests in there.
• 9:09
  You know, if I run the A-frame flat, it dive over, take the
• 9:13
  front of that a frame, put some anti dive.
• 9:16
  It acts like right front spring, but it just slows that right
• 9:18
  front down. You can't can't do that on
• 9:21
  entry. All right, everybody, I think we
• 9:24
  we covered it all. We had some good surprises this
• 9:28
  morning. So Britt, come here, get shorter
• 9:32
  by your belly, turn sideways for us.
• 9:36
  Oh, look at that baby bump. Come here and put your face next
• 9:40
  to mine. This is Minnie me.
• 9:43
  That's all right. You've had enough.
• 9:46
  Brandy. You coming over?
• 9:48
  Why you wanted by the police. Say goodbye.
• 9:56
  See you at Quincy tonight. Say see you at Quincy, IL.
