  Happy Wednesday morning everybody, drinking my high
• 0:07
  octane coffee fueled by Sunoco. I still love that logo, just
• 0:15
  looks so good. Some of my favorite colors.
• 0:19
  Well, I learned something. I learned that you all miss
• 0:26
  NASCAR terribly. So Kenny Schrader and myself, we
• 0:36
  did Herm and Schrader and one of the topics was there has been
• 0:42
  some big NASCAR changes, but we really didn't pay attention to
• 0:48
  it because we were watching the NASCAR championship play out the
• 0:52
  last three races or so. NASCAR came out with, you know,
• 1:00
  a new schedule and Kenny Schrader and myself on Herman
• 1:04
  Schrader, I said, you know, Schrader schedule came out, you
• 1:10
  know, during the championship chase and nobody really
• 1:13
  mentioned these big, big changes.
• 1:17
  You know #1 obviously, we're going back to Bowman Gray.
• 1:23
  Yes, going back, because NASCAR, they raced at Bowman Gray.
• 1:28
  That's where Bobby Allison got what that 85th win that was so
• 1:34
  controversial back in the day. NASCAR, hell, they ran all those
• 1:40
  little, you know, tracks like what up there at Soldiers Field
• 1:46
  did. Did NASCAR run Soldiers Field?
• 1:49
  You know where, where the, you know, the Chicago Bears were?
• 1:53
  They played football. Did NASCAR race on that race
• 1:57
  track? Respond right here?
• 2:00
  I think they did. It was amazing how, you know,
• 2:05
  all these little bull rings around, you know, the world, you
• 2:09
  know, they race on them. Now.
• 2:10
  It may not be as big as you want it to be.
• 2:12
  Might be a might be a too little of a track, but you know, NASCAR
• 2:17
  raced at Soldiers Field and if they didn't, Tom Pastone did and
• 2:22
  all the NASCAR racers did run on those tracks.
• 2:26
  So, you know, the All Star race or not the All Star race, Excuse
• 2:33
  me, I was wrong. Basically the Bud shootout is
• 2:36
  what I call it. Whatever shootout you want to
• 2:38
  call it, they change that name daily.
• 2:41
  Bud shootout, Bush clash, whatever.
• 2:45
  But you know, NASCAR announcer going back to Bowman Gray and
• 2:48
  and a lot of you were like, right, you know, it's too
• 2:51
  little, it's too small. Well, the locals love it.
• 2:54
  You know, that race is already sold out.
• 2:57
  That's another subject right there.
• 2:59
  Everybody goes, oh, Bowman Gray sold out every week.
• 3:03
  Well, if, if it's big that it's sold out every week, it's a big
• 3:06
  story that it, it's sold out. What, within minutes?
• 3:09
  How quick did Bowman Gray sell out for, for the Bud Shootout or
• 3:14
  the Bush Clash or whatever you want to call it?
• 3:16
  Respond right here. NASCAR's going in there.
• 3:20
  They're making upgrades for all the local racers.
• 3:24
  I think the man that has won 112 races there, the local racer,
• 3:30
  Bowman Gray, the winningest racer, he's got a cup ride
• 3:33
  through Rick Ware. Yeah, There you go.
• 3:36
  Kind of a little SRX, Little SRX deal right there.
• 3:40
  Right. Remember when SRX would run,
• 3:42
  they would get the the local hero a ride.
• 3:45
  My local hero deserves a ride. OK, give him one.
• 3:51
  So for the Bud shoot out at Bowman, Gray, the local racer
• 3:58
  got a ride with Rick Ware. He's going to qualify, he's
• 4:01
  going to run. You don't got to qualify.
• 4:03
  Remember, we got a charter system.
• 4:04
  There's no more. You got to qualify or you go
• 4:06
  home. He's in the race 'cause he got a
• 4:09
  charter. So he's in the race.
• 4:12
  I think that's the way it's going to work.
• 4:14
  Respond right here. Maybe he's not in the race,
• 4:16
  maybe they do got to qualify. I think they do because the
• 4:19
  track's so small. They're only going to start like
• 4:22
  22. So I, I was wrong there.
• 4:25
  They still, they can't start, they can't start the 30, however
• 4:29
  many because a track's too small.
• 4:33
  OK, Then we talked about NASCAR going to, you know, my track
• 4:41
  right here, Worldwide Technology Raceway, they changed the date.
• 4:46
  It went from June into September.
• 4:49
  So the NASCAR track is in the playoffs and that's what you
• 4:53
  fans have asked for. You said we want these NASCAR
• 4:58
  tracks to change around. We want them all different.
• 5:02
  So I think that's a good decision, right?
• 5:05
  So, so far we got good decisions.
• 5:08
  We got NASCAR coming back to that local track.
• 5:10
  Bowman Gray going to make you all happy.
• 5:13
  NASCAR too big for their britches.
• 5:15
  They need to look at the little man, bring him back to the
• 5:18
  little us little people. So they did.
• 5:22
  They come back to the littlest track There is Bowman Gray.
• 5:25
  Oh, Oh, I get it. That too little that that's too
• 5:29
  little for you. I read all your comments.
• 5:34
  I know what I'm talking about. I'm right.
• 5:38
  You miss complaining about NASCAR.
• 5:40
  That's what this coffee with Kenny's about.
• 5:43
  You love NASCAR. And what you love most about it
• 5:46
  is you like to get on social media and you like to complain.
• 5:51
  I can't believe NASCAR. NASCAR needs to come back to
• 5:55
  Daytona for the Bud Shootout. What?
• 5:59
  He never showed up there in the 1st place.
• 6:01
  So NASCAR's trying to find out what makes you happy.
• 6:05
  They went out to California three years.
• 6:08
  Nice little test that that was. That didn't hurt you because you
• 6:13
  had nothing to do with it. You just watched.
• 6:15
  That's all you did. Just like me.
• 6:17
  Didn't bother us at all because all we did was watch from our
• 6:20
  couch right here. We sitting on our couch watching
• 6:26
  the race. So don't bother us at all.
• 6:29
  But we miss, we miss NASCAR right now because we miss
• 6:33
  getting on there and complaining.
• 6:37
  Now NASCAR has made a change in the playoffs.
• 6:43
  Now they bring in the playoff in the playoff race to Saint Louis,
• 6:47
  my hometown. I think it's fantastic.
• 6:52
  Now, a lot of people going to complain.
• 6:54
  We need the last race to change all the time because Penske has
• 6:58
  won the last three races and it and if the last NASCAR race of
• 7:05
  the year is at Phoenix, then Penske's going to keep winning
• 7:09
  the championships. That's a bad argument.
• 7:14
  You know why? Because if we listen to some of
• 7:18
  you and you said I want to go back to the olden days, well,
• 7:23
  you know what? The olden days was the exact
• 7:26
  same schedule every single year. In the olden days, we ran
• 7:31
  Daytona, we went to Rockingham or Atlanta and we we ran the
• 7:36
  exact same schedule and the last race every year was the last
• 7:40
  race every year. So if we went back to the old
• 7:44
  days, your days, the last race would be that, that, that exact
• 7:50
  track every year. So you see what I'm saying?
• 7:53
  Your, your, your argument, your debate is that we need to keep
• 7:56
  moving the last race of the year.
• 7:59
  This is what you say to me. We need to, we need to move the
• 8:02
  last race of the year all the time.
• 8:05
  Well, we didn't do that back in the in your old days.
• 8:08
  Remember, you want the old schedule.
• 8:10
  Well, if we did that, I'm repeating myself right now.
• 8:12
  I know because I want to make sure driving home, if I, if we
• 8:17
  listen to you, then if we went back to the old days, the last
• 8:21
  race was the same all the time and the schedule was the same
• 8:25
  all the time. So it's really good to see
• 8:28
  NASCAR move a playoff race to my hometown, Worldwide Technology
• 8:34
  in Saint Louis, mix it up a little bit, just like you say,
• 8:37
  but the last race still going to be at Phoenix.
• 8:41
  Last but not least, we're going to Mexico City and if you look
• 8:46
  at The Dirty MO media, we put out a little one minute teaser
• 8:51
  where myself and Trader talk about NASCAR.
• 8:54
  Finally, the last schedule change, June 15th, NASCAR going
• 9:00
  down there to Hermano Rodriguez, Mexico City.
• 9:03
  NASCAR needs to go to Rockingham first.
• 9:05
  Take care of us Americans first before we go to Mexico.
• 9:11
  OK, that's a funny one, too. We've been to Mexico City a lot
• 9:17
  with the Xfinity Series. I've raced at Hermano Rodriguez.
• 9:21
  They pack them in there. Why not go somewhere worth
• 9:24
  standing room only? Pack them in there.
• 9:27
  They got horns and whistles. I mean, they the Latinos down
• 9:32
  there in Mexico City. Now, is it expensive to go down
• 9:35
  there? Yeah.
• 9:36
  Is it expensive to go from Charlotte, NC to Phoenix?
• 9:41
  Hell yeah. It's all the way across America.
• 9:44
  You know, nobody talks about that.
• 9:46
  All the teams are based in Charlotte, NC, and they travel
• 9:51
  all the way across America, all the way, all the way.
• 9:56
  That costs a lot of money, too. So I think going to Mexico
• 10:02
  City's just fine. Obviously, they're paying a lot
• 10:04
  of money to get NASCAR. Remember, I'm going to leave you
• 10:07
  with this. Everybody, other countries, they
• 10:10
  love NASCAR. People over in Australia, they
• 10:14
  buy all our race cars. Just when you get to talking
• 10:17
  down about NASCAR, go ask the other countries what they think
• 10:20
  of NASCAR. They love NASCAR, they want
• 10:23
  NASCAR. So remember what you got.
• 10:27
  You got a great show right? Now ask all the other countries,
• 10:31
  they love NASCAR. All right, everybody remember,
• 10:38
  Christmas is around the corner. Be nice, but I got to say this
• 10:44
  one thing I've learned out after looking at your comments over
• 10:47
  the last day or so. You miss complaining about
• 10:50
  NASCAR. Merry Christmas everybody.
• 10:55
  Happy New Year. Ho ho ho.
