  Happy Monday morning everybody. 652 in the morning 6:52 and I am
• 0:14
  out of bed. Have no idea why I got to.
• 0:19
  I got to bed at a good time last night, probably around 11.
• 0:24
  Ran Quincy, IL Run, run third. It was a good third, really good
• 0:30
  third. Man, what a race, what a race.
• 0:34
  But we'll have more to talk about that third place finish
• 0:38
  and why it was so important later in the week.
• 0:43
  Drinking coffee. I'm I'm laughing.
• 0:45
  I'm laughing about you all. All of you kill me.
• 0:54
  Come to find out, NASCAR's not too bad.
• 0:59
  NASCAR's not too bad, is it? You know what it takes to fix
• 1:04
  NASCAR? NASCAR's most popular driver,
• 1:08
  Chase Elliott winning the race. I got your ass this time.
• 1:16
  I set you up. I set you up, They said, oh man,
• 1:21
  Kansas was an unbelievable race. I said hold on now.
• 1:25
  I'm going to be bullshit right now.
• 1:28
  Was it a really good race or was it a really good race because
• 1:34
  your driver, our most popular driver, Chase Elliott, has won
• 1:38
  so many most popular driver awards.
• 1:41
  Was it because Chase won? Now I really like Chase Elliott.
• 1:47
  I like Chase Elliott a lot. I think he's a good kid.
• 1:51
  He's a man. He's level headed, super shy.
• 1:56
  He's private and races get over. He gets in his old jet just like
• 2:01
  his daddy. Well, the thing of it is, is
• 2:05
  also Bill from Dawsonville down here.
• 2:08
  And hey, Bill, how you doing? Well, the thing of it is earning
• 2:12
  a banner back at the shop. Hey, Chase, how was your day?
• 2:17
  Well, I'm really happy to win the race.
• 2:19
  Oh, we love Chase Elliott. I love Chase Elliott, but I'm
• 2:26
  going to call a little bullshit on all of you.
• 2:29
  You like Chase Elliott because of his ditty.
• 2:33
  You like Chase Elliott because of his ditty.
• 2:38
  Now here's what's what's wild about the Elliott's.
• 2:41
  Like I said, I I love Bill Elliott and I love Chase
• 2:44
  Elliott. But you know, if if I was to
• 2:49
  study what makes fans happy, like what do what do the
• 2:53
  Elliott's do that make you happy?
• 2:58
  Like I like them because they're just they're very quiet.
• 3:02
  But you know, I've hung around Bill Elliot.
• 3:04
  I've hung around Bill. Bill's a hoot.
• 3:06
  He's a good guy. He's like all huckleberry fan
• 3:09
  and everything. Well, Herman, I raced to Bill
• 3:13
  Elliot, you know, up in Cayuga, Canada, 200 lap ASA race and is
• 3:22
  my rookie rookie year. But Bill knew me.
• 3:24
  Bill Elliott knew me from when I was a crew chief in 1984.
• 3:28
  Hey, Herman, he called me Herman.
• 3:31
  But I, I moved back home and I started racing.
• 3:34
  So in 84 I'm a I'm a crew chief in cup for driver Joe Rutman,
• 3:40
  you know, and so I moved back to Saint Louis, but and I become a
• 3:44
  race car driver. So I'm up in Cayuga, Canada
• 3:47
  running ASA. Well, Bill Elliot, you know, I
• 3:50
  guess they pay him a little money.
• 3:52
  He comes up there. Well, he gets by me pretty early
• 3:55
  in the race and after the race he's like Harman, I passed you
• 3:59
  in just a little bit. I liked Bill because of his
• 4:03
  Huckleberry Finn. You know, when you when you
• 4:07
  think of Bill Elliot, you're thinking of freckles with a
• 4:10
  little toothpick. Just a Huckleberry Finn type
• 4:13
  guy. And the fans loved it.
• 4:17
  I mean, they loved it. Then over here you have, you
• 4:22
  have Dale Earnhardt, the man in black.
• 4:25
  I'll spin your ass out, I'll wreck your ass.
• 4:29
  So you had two, you had the guy in black that was the meanest
• 4:34
  son of a bitch there was on the track.
• 4:36
  Then you had Bill Elliott over here was like Huckleberry Finn,
• 4:41
  you know, the pass in the grass. All of you old people will
• 4:45
  remember that, you know, and and by the way, that was not not a
• 4:50
  pass in the grass. It was just Sam Bass, the great
• 4:54
  artist made that famous where Earnhardt goes in the grass
• 4:59
  during the All Star race to get by Earnhardt goes in the in the
• 5:03
  grass to get by Bill Elliot, but doesn't pass just comes back up
• 5:07
  on the track. But they named it the pass in
• 5:09
  the grass. But he but he he never passed
• 5:12
  Bill Elliot. But because of that painting.
• 5:15
  But anyway, you have Huckleberry Finn over here.
• 5:17
  You have Darth Vader over here. And everybody liked them both.
• 5:22
  It was almost like good versus bad.
• 5:25
  So this is what kills me and I love it.
• 5:27
  You all love Chase Elliot. But Bill, you know, I mean
• 5:31
  Chase, Chase, don't say nothing if he has a mouth full of now
• 5:38
  listen, I'm going to tell you I watched this morning.
• 5:42
  All you got to do is go on NBC Sports and they have a complete
• 5:46
  rundown after the race, all the highlights.
• 5:49
  It was an exciting race. I mean, how about Zane Smith on
• 5:53
  his side? He slides, slides and at the
• 5:55
  very end a car comes to an almost to an end and then all of
• 5:59
  a sudden out of nowhere flips like 3 times.
• 6:01
  It's like, holy, how about that poor Jackman, Denny Hamlin's
• 6:05
  Jackman? Like Denny Hamlin's going to
• 6:08
  dominate this race and the Jackman cannot get the Jack
• 6:12
  underneath the right side. I felt so bad for the guy, the
• 6:15
  camera, the guy just about. Oh, man.
• 6:19
  So that killed him. So instead of Denny leading and
• 6:22
  just gone, Denny's back to 6. Now he dominates this race.
• 6:26
  Oh, that's another reason you all like the race.
• 6:29
  You like the race because the new Darth Vader, Denny Hamlin,
• 6:33
  it was going to dominate, but the bad pit stop putting back
• 6:36
  the six. So you all need to thank the
• 6:38
  Jackman is the is the Jackman the hero?
• 6:43
  So come to find out, I watched the race.
• 6:46
  It is a good race. It is wild at the end.
• 6:51
  But here's the reason you all love the race because it was
• 6:55
  Denny Hamlin who is Darth Vader and it was Huckleberry Finn over
• 6:59
  here. Chase Elliott and Chase did a
• 7:02
  hell of a job there at the end too, coming off at turn 4.
• 7:05
  I mean, they were about wrecking each other going into 3 and 4
• 7:08
  coming to the checkered flag and and Chase done a hell of a job.
• 7:13
  But I must say Chase did run good, but he he come out of
• 7:18
  nowhere. There's no doubt about that.
• 7:20
  And the race had the right amount of wrecks.
• 7:22
  Had they wrecked their ass off going into turns one and two
• 7:25
  took out Austin Cedric? How about Kyle Busch?
• 7:29
  He gets into walls, right? Tyler comes off and rolls on the
• 7:32
  racetrack. So here's my final conclusion.
• 7:36
  It was a great race. It was a great race, but there's
• 7:43
  nothing better than our heroes, the people we like the most.
• 7:48
  And the reason everybody is, and I'm happy to see this, the
• 7:52
  reason everybody's all jacked up on on Sun Drop is because Chase
• 7:57
  Elliott won. But but respond right here.
• 8:01
  Why? Why does Chase Elliott make you
• 8:04
  all so happy? Because he's so quiet.
• 8:07
  He just don't even do anything. He just, well, I'ma get my jet
• 8:11
  and head on back to Dawsonville. Well, the thing of it is, have a
• 8:16
  great Monday, everybody.
