Transcript
- 0:00I have an owie on my head right there.
- 0:04But it will it will recover and we will be just fine.
- 0:11All right, everybody, Big story in the garage area.
- 0:17Sam Mayer, who drives for Haas Factory.
- 0:23We all know that is the old team that used to be Stewart Haas.
- 0:28It's now called Haas Factory. That's also where Cole Custer
- 0:34won his Xfinity championship. Cole Custer's dad runs Haas
- 0:39Factory and they have an Xfinity team.
- 0:43Sam Mayer drives the car now. The reason we're doing this this
- 0:49morning about Sam Mayer is because we have seen this movie
- 0:54before and like brother Ross, he says what's he say everybody we
- 0:59ought to make AT shirt about that.
- 1:02You have to remind people they remember what they want to So
- 1:09Sam Mayer and Jeb Burton. Jeb Burton that is that's Ward's
- 1:16boy. That's Ward's son.
- 1:18Ward Burton's son. So Jeff Burton and Sam Mayer,
- 1:23they get into it during the Xfinity race at Martinsville.
- 1:28Well, when the race was totally over, checkered flags thrown,
- 1:33races over Sam Mayer, pile drives Jeff Burton and Rexy puts
- 1:42him in the wall. So NASCAR takes action and
- 1:51literally tell Sam Mayer, you're not racing next week.
- 1:56So Sam Mayer gets suspended. You're not racing the last race
- 2:02year, you're not running Phoenix.
- 2:04So that is his suspension. And that is a big one, huge 1.
- 2:10And it is, it isn't. It is in step.
- 2:15It is a consistent suspension. You go way back and you look at
- 2:22it and you know that that's what they do nowadays.
- 2:28You can go through the race being over Bristol and whether
- 2:35it was Tony Stewart or Jeff Gordon or Matt, Ken said, you
- 2:38know, wrecking each other on pit Rd.
- 2:40And that really rared its ugly head back in the day.
- 2:45NASCAR said OK, we better get a handle on this.
- 2:49We didn't see this coming. We didn't see our drivers
- 2:52ramming their cars into each other.
- 2:55After the race is over, cars are parked on pit Rd. and drivers
- 3:01are running their cars into each other as they're parked.
- 3:05Now you can most likely YouTube that.
- 3:08That was pretty wild back in the day at Bristol.
- 3:11Tony and Jeff and Matt and all of them.
- 3:17So through the years, NASCAR said, all right, guys, we're
- 3:22we're going to lay the gauntlet down and that and they've done
- 3:24it. They've done it.
- 3:26Now let's go over. You know why we're doing this
- 3:30coffee with Kenny on Sam Mayer because I see my timeline lit
- 3:34up. All I did is I I saw they
- 3:37suspended Sam Mayer and I just put woah, WOAH.
- 3:44And I mean, the people just piled on some.
- 3:49Some were like, hey, they they had to do it.
- 3:53Other ones were like, that's bulls.
- 3:56NASCAR ought to let them do whatever they want.
- 3:59This is the word wrestling federation.
- 4:02Let them destroy each other. No rules.
- 4:07Those are the people. You got to wonder what happened
- 4:10to them when they grew up as a kid or what they do now.
- 4:16I'm going to take you through why they got why he got
- 4:19suspended. Do you remember?
- 4:25And you know, these are all perfect examples.
- 4:27Do you remember when Denny Hamlin, you know, got his
- 4:33actions detrimental show and he admitted to doing wrong on his
- 4:40actions detrimental and he would disparage NASCAR It it leaves
- 4:48NASCAR no option. You you can't you can't get on
- 4:55live radio after the race like Sam Mayer did.
- 5:00Yeah, I want to tell you something.
- 5:02Sam Mayer got his self suspended.
- 5:06I'm going to tell you exactly what Sam Mayer said.
- 5:11Sam Mayer gets on MRN radio, MRN Ranio, the Motor Racing Network.
- 5:20Sam Mayer gets on there and goes Salva dabi, salva Dabi.
- 5:24And then he goes. Sam Mayer goes, I probably
- 5:27already said too much. At that moment, Sam Mayer knew
- 5:32he suspended himself. Sam Mayer gets on radio I guess
- 5:36cuz he's a younger man and and makes a mistake and he kissed
- 5:41the snake. Now how many doctors will it
- 5:45take? Sam Mayer suspended himself on
- 5:50MRN radio after the race, said everything wrong he should have
- 5:54never said. Basically admitted to doing it
- 5:56all. So when you taunt NASCAR or
- 6:02let's say you get into a fight and you keep taunting your
- 6:05challenger and he knocks you out, then you deserved it.
- 6:09So Sam Mayer gets on MRN radio and basically says, yeah, I
- 6:13wrecked him, you know. Oh, I probably said too much
- 6:16already. Well, that my friends for all
- 6:21for for the ones of you. I say ones because, I mean,
- 6:26there are some of you, but not a lot.
- 6:30This coffee with Kenny is for you.
- 6:33You can't admit to wrongdoing. If you don't want to get
- 6:36suspended, you can't go. Yeah.
- 6:38Wrecked me after the race. I know that's wrong.
- 6:40Whoops. I probably already said too
- 6:41much. That's all there is to it,
- 6:45everybody. Sam Mayer messed up.
