  Happy Monday morning, everybody, Kim and I on our way to North
• 0:06
  Carolina. We just loading up.
• 0:09
  She pretty and red. Hi, baby.
• 0:12
  So, uh, yeah, we're right outside of Knoxville headed to
• 0:16
  Charlotte, NC. We got, uh, we stuck.
• 0:19
  We're not stuck in the mountains, but the fog's stuck
• 0:23
  in the mountains. I was watching some, uh,
• 0:25
  Knoxville TV outside the mountains and it's all clear,
• 0:29
  bud. Hey, this is perfect timing.
• 0:33
  As Herman the Munster would say, It's a beautiful day.
• 0:38
  OK everybody, like I said, headed on to Charlotte.
• 0:44
  We got Kim's trike up in here, got the race car in the back,
• 0:48
  and yeah, we going to drop the trike off for the Kyle Petty
• 0:53
  charity ride that starts May 1st.
• 0:56
  So we're ahead of time. And we're going to do some
• 0:58
  updates on the dirt car and get a new body put on it by Nick
• 1:02
  Hoffman. By the way, Nick Hoffman, I
• 1:05
  believe Nick is ranked #1 dirt racer in America right now.
• 1:10
  He's got like 4 out of seven wins, and he's leading the World
• 1:13
  of Outlaw Late Model points. So there's that.
• 1:18
  OK, quick little monologue. Today we are going to talk about
• 1:24
  Phoenix. There's a lot to talk about, you
• 1:27
  know. Boy right there, he was looking
• 1:28
  at me. He's smoker's cigarette.
• 1:31
  Hey, watch this. I I got my, I got my cool guy
• 1:36
  imitation. Watch this.
• 1:37
  Here we go. Ready.
• 1:47
  I'm a badass. Don't smoke, kids.
• 1:52
  It's bad for you. OK, Phoenix, man, what a
• 1:56
  weekend, huh? What a weekend.
• 1:59
  So, my, listen, we're going to have a little fun here, so go
• 2:02
  with me. You know, everybody started
• 2:06
  complaining that Penske, Penske's got a grip.
• 2:10
  Hold on, Phoenix. We've got to get rid of the
• 2:14
  racetrack because Penske is dominating.
• 2:20
  You can't make this stuff up. So IndyCar, hang with me now.
• 2:26
  Connect all the dots. The IndyCar Series has not ran
• 2:31
  Phoenix in eight years. So, you know, like I said
• 2:38
  yesterday, Fox Sports owns 1/3 of IndyCar now.
• 2:42
  So they said let's bring IndyCar to Phoenix.
• 2:48
  They're coming down with a couple laps to go and Penske's
• 2:51
  losing. Their cars are losing, but here
• 2:54
  comes Joseph Newgarden, who drives for Penske, wins the damn
• 2:58
  race. So if it's not bad enough that
• 3:02
  the Penske cars all win the NASCAR races at Phoenix with a
• 3:07
  handful to go, I think Kirkwood and then got in the wall coming
• 3:10
  off a four. And here comes Joseph Newgarden
• 3:14
  and and he wins it for Penske. Big crowd, crowds on their feet,
• 3:19
  Everybody's happy. Big crowd, NASCAR's rolling.
• 3:22
  Like I told you all last week, it it was the truth.
• 3:26
  Better get out of the way 'cause that damn NASCAR has fixed their
• 3:31
  stuff and they're rolling. So on Sunday, Ryan Blaney comes
• 3:37
  from the back two times, takes 2 tires at the end, and Ryan
• 3:42
  Bladey wins another Penske card. Shout out to Sea Bell.
• 3:47
  Christopher Bell. Oh, Christopher Bell.
• 3:50
  He should have probably won the race, but hey, it's like, hey,
• 3:54
  roll your window down. So what's that?
• 4:01
  I want you involved in the Kenny Wallace coffee with Kenny.
• 4:05
  So anyway, Chris, Christopher Bell dominates this race.
• 4:10
  But too tight. Hey, it's a chest.
• 4:12
  It ain't all about the fastest car.
• 4:14
  That's one thing I love about NASCAR racing a few all of a
• 4:17
  good few miles race because the hell I get nervous.
• 4:20
  So anyway, 2 towers by Ryan Blaney wins the race and after
• 4:27
  the race Christopher Bell says, well, that's things, but a lot
• 4:31
  of wrecks. But the wrecks were they're
• 4:35
  doing Kim. They just wrecking the hell out
• 4:36
  of them. Early in the race.
• 4:38
  It ran right front tire problems.
• 4:40
  But I noticed, honey, when I was watching, when I was on social
• 4:44
  media, Goodyear, Goodyear knew they were on the edge, 'cause if
• 4:49
  if on this. Hey, by the way, how come you're
• 4:52
  never on the social media site X me?
• 4:55
  Yeah, it doesn't. Do nothing for.
• 4:58
  Me. I only see one of your eyes.
• 4:59
  Can you turn your face like I? It doesn't.
• 5:02
  There you go. It doesn't do.
• 5:04
  Anything for? Me.
• 5:05
  You don't like X? It's a show.
• 5:06
  And oh Ken, that's the first time I've cussed in ages.
• 5:10
  I know you bring the best out of me, honey.
• 5:12
  Really. Yeah.
• 5:16
  So Goodyear told them, hey, guys, easy with that right?
• 5:21
  Front air pressure. Not everybody.
• 5:23
  See, that's the thing about those tires.
• 5:25
  Not everybody has problems. So you got to you got to play it
• 5:28
  a little conservative early, drop them air pressures later
• 5:32
  when the track gets rubber down. So they blow tires, they wreck
• 5:40
  the heck out of each other. And in the end, there's a Ryan
• 5:45
  Blaney. Now there's a method to my
• 5:47
  madness. The reason I wanted you to turn
• 5:49
  around is this. Yeah.
• 5:52
  She goes. Uh oh, I know something.
• 5:54
  Hey, can you turn the radio down?
• 5:57
  Charlie won't air this. How do I do?
• 5:59
  How do you turn the radio down? It's OK, I figured it out.
• 6:04
  Yeah. This is an easy truck as you got
• 6:06
  buttons. OK.
• 6:08
  Did you know that if there's music playing in the background,
• 6:10
  my Charlie Marlo, he he won't run it because the people
• 6:14
  playing that music, they'll get mad at us.
• 6:16
  So I'm like, you need to you need to, yeah, you need to pay
• 6:19
  US money for playing our music. Like, shut up.
• 6:22
  OK. So yesterday in Victory Lane,
• 6:25
  Ryan Blaney was very emotional because he said this is the
• 6:29
  first time I've won a NASCAR race.
• 6:32
  By the way, that was his 18th win, Cup win.
• 6:36
  Ryan Blaney got very emotional and he said this is my first win
• 6:40
  where I get to go home to my wife and child.
• 6:46
  You told me I handful of years ago I said I'm gonna quit dirt
• 6:50
  racing and you said to me you're not gonna quit dirt racing until
• 6:54
  those grandbabies see you race. Well, I knew what that meant.
• 6:58
  So I took them to Victor Lane a lot now.
• 7:01
  So tell me, what do you think, Ryan Blaney?
• 7:06
  What is that like going to Victor Lane with all your
• 7:10
  children? Well, when you're into when
• 7:13
  you're into your family like that, it means the world.
• 7:18
  Yeah, kids. Those kids are so excited.
• 7:20
  I know they've got babies, but they will be.
• 7:24
  They'll remember. That yeah, Ryan Blaney's a
• 7:27
  sweetheart. He's a good guy.
• 7:28
  Have you seen that mustache he's got?
• 7:31
  He made me laugh. He was on Dirty MO Media last
• 7:33
  Monday and they said, Ryan, how do you keep that thing cleaned
• 7:37
  up? And he goes well, we, you know,
• 7:39
  I he goes, I I take scissors, he says, but every once in a while
• 7:42
  you'll get a runaway one Hera, get down here, He says.
• 7:46
  He takes his teeth and he goes. He says, 1 gets away.
• 7:49
  I just go. All right, We did it, baby.
• 7:53
  So are you excited to what are you going to do down there in
• 7:56
  Charlotte? See all your friends.
• 7:59
