  Happy, happy Thursday morning, everybody.
• 0:08
  I had to remember what day it was.
• 0:11
  So we race dirt tomorrow at Tri-City Speedway, Granite City,
• 0:17
  IL Super excited about that. And then Saturday at Kenny
• 0:21
  Schrader's I-55 Raceway, I was Herman, clean your stuff up.
• 0:29
  What's that doing there from a winter?
• 0:32
  You got a crooked gutter, all right, Subject of the day.
• 0:38
  I was riding to Mount Carmel, IL yesterday and listened to the
• 0:45
  SiriusXM, and I got to thinking about this guy this morning.
• 0:50
  He was so upset, he said where in the world did front Row
• 0:56
  Motorsports get their money to buy that that charter already,
• 1:01
  or as I call it, a franchise. So in the news yesterday, well,
• 1:06
  the demise of NASCAR was was greatly exaggerated.
• 1:10
  NASCAR's failing, Tony Stewart quit, That's four teams gone.
• 1:15
  I said, hold on. You know, I did in one of my
• 1:19
  coffee and Kenny's I said those they will sell those things so
• 1:23
  fast. You're ahead of spin.
• 1:25
  People are lined up to get in the NASCAR Cup Series.
• 1:28
  They just waiting for the right time.
• 1:31
  So yesterday it was announced that Front Row Motorsports has
• 1:34
  already bought a charter. So remember the coffee, Kenny,
• 1:39
  you know the coffee with Kenny. I did.
• 1:41
  I said well, it it begs now how much?
• 1:44
  How much are they going to pay for it?
• 1:46
  Does does the first guy, you know, pay 20 million and then
• 1:51
  the next one pay 15, then the next 1-10, you know, it was
• 1:55
  like, do you sell them all at the same time?
• 1:58
  Does Honda come in and swoop them all up So Front Row
• 2:04
  Motorsports buys one right away. Now this, this is about money.
• 2:10
  This is about money. So people get pissed off when
• 2:14
  you have money. You know, my mom had taught me
• 2:16
  years ago, don't talk about money or religion or even
• 2:20
  politics when you have money and other people don't.
• 2:25
  They want your damn money. They're like, give me your money
• 2:29
  even though they didn't earn it, they didn't work for or they're
• 2:32
  early in their life and they're roughed up.
• 2:35
  So the subject of the day is where did Front Row Motorsports
• 2:40
  get their millions of dollars because they're known as a lower
• 2:43
  tier team. How did they get their money?
• 2:48
  Well, let me aggravate you a little bit.
• 2:50
  Let me keep you on the the gutter.
• 2:54
  So have you heard Jeff Gordon? Have you heard Denny Hamlin?
• 3:00
  They say we can't make money, as Darrell Walters say.
• 3:05
  Let me explain that to you. So Rick Hendrick, one of the
• 3:09
  wealthiest men in America, because he sells a lot of cars.
• 3:14
  He's got his dealerships now his dealerships make money.
• 3:19
  However, racing doesn't. What if racing doesn't make
• 3:24
  money? How do you make money?
• 3:27
  That that's that's that's the subject at hand.
• 3:29
  I'm going to explain that you don't make money racing.
• 3:33
  What you do is love of the sport.
• 3:35
  If you ever wondered why Rodger Penske, Rick Hendrick, do you?
• 3:38
  Have you ever wondered why Jennifer and Richard Marshall
• 3:42
  with the World of Outlaws and High Limit Racing?
• 3:44
  Jennifer, she'll, she'll give a tutorial, a lesson.
• 3:48
  She'll give you a lesson because she understands money.
• 3:51
  So wealthy people in racing, they love the sport.
• 3:57
  They create all these race teams and they give all of you a job.
• 4:01
  So you're very thankful for these wealthy people having
• 4:03
  great businesses. Jennifer and Richard, they're in
• 4:09
  the oil industry. Remember, they run high limit,
• 4:12
  they run World of Outlaws, So they're in the oil industry.
• 4:16
  Rodger Penske, you know, Rick Hendrick, they sell cars.
• 4:23
  You look at, you know, let's look at, let's look at Jack
• 4:27
  Roush. What?
• 4:28
  Where the Hell's Jack Roush get all his money?
• 4:30
  Well, he, he designs things, he's a builder.
• 4:32
  He designs parts and cars for Ford Motorsport.
• 4:36
  So it's like, where's, where does Jack Roush get all his
• 4:39
  money? Well, he, he designs and makes
• 4:41
  things for Ford. He's a brilliant man.
• 4:46
  So when Jeff Gordon or like, OK, let's go with Front Row
• 4:51
  Motorsports, where do they get all their money?
• 4:53
  Well, it certainly ain't racing. The man does something else to
• 4:57
  makes that makes millions of dollars.
• 5:01
  You know, just because you got $1,000,000 don't mean you're
• 5:04
  worth $500 million. There's a big difference between
• 5:08
  having about 7 million. Some people have $7,000,000,
• 5:12
  some people have $500 million. So when Jeff Gordon and Denny
• 5:19
  Hamlin say we can't make any money racing, that's what the
• 5:24
  hell they mean. That means they can't make money
• 5:28
  in racing and their car owner and their sponsorships are
• 5:32
  making it up. Where do they get their money?
• 5:36
  Well, you look at Michael Jordan and then all the sponsors they
• 5:40
  get from Michael Jordan being Michael Jordan.
• 5:44
  Where does Joe Gibbs get all his money?
• 5:46
  Well, he's one of the most famous football coaches of all
• 5:49
  time. He's he's won the Super Bowl
• 5:52
  many times and he was able to get sponsorship through all his
• 5:55
  connections, Interstate batteries and M and Ms. and
• 5:59
  things like that. So money and greed is what this
• 6:03
  is about. Give me your money, dammit.
• 6:06
  So the man on SiriusXM, I'm going back to him.
• 6:09
  He was a little pissed. Where did where did front Row
• 6:14
  Motorsports get their money? Because he's assuming they're
• 6:17
  poor. They're not poor.
• 6:20
  They just don't have the $500 million like the Rick Hendrick
• 6:23
  or the OR the, you know, Penske and and all those high end
• 6:30
  teams. MO money gets you better
• 6:36
  engineers, better pit crew members because you can weed
• 6:40
  through them all. So when I say you can't make
• 6:44
  money racing, there's also a business model where you rotate
• 6:49
  money and you say, Herman, what the hell you talking about?
• 6:51
  Well, let's say who you work for right now, Like who do you work
• 6:56
  for, right? Do they make money or do they
• 6:58
  rotate payroll? I know people that make money
• 7:02
  and then the money they make, they give it all the employees.
• 7:05
  They it's called payroll, right? You work for a living and then
• 7:10
  all of a sudden, let's say they made $10,000 that month.
• 7:15
  Well, they made it. Now they got to give it all to
• 7:17
  you. All right?
• 7:18
  So when they make payroll, they might have made $1000.
• 7:22
  I know, hey, listen, I know what I'm talking about.
• 7:24
  Respond right here. Like subscribe.
• 7:27
  I know dirt tracks that that have employees and they go, OK,
• 7:30
  we worked our ass off all week long and we only, we only make
• 7:34
  $2700. I know a racetrack that does
• 7:37
  that. But but, but here's the problem
• 7:40
  before you start yapping that mouth, dirt tracks are only work
• 7:45
  open like 20 weeks. They start April and then they
• 7:48
  got to close down in August so that they're like the lake.
• 7:52
  You know, a lake can only open so long.
• 7:55
  So these tracks, they got to hit it while they can because they
• 7:59
  cannot operate. They cannot operate, you know,
• 8:03
  all year long. So once again, Jeff Gordon,
• 8:09
  Danny Hamlin, we can't make money in racing, right?
• 8:13
  You cannot make money in racing because it doesn't pay enough.
• 8:18
  So you got to go get sponsorship or your car owner has to make up
• 8:22
  for it. So hopefully a little business
• 8:27
  lesson this morning. We're in front row Motorsports
• 8:29
  get all our money. Well, the man's probably got a
• 8:32
  business that that's where they got the money or they went and
• 8:35
  borrowed the money because they got a sponsor that's going to
• 8:38
  start that third team. All right, listen, like
• 8:43
  subscribe right here. People been sending me their
• 8:48
  coffee cups. Remember this Sunday, Worldwide
• 8:51
  Technology Raceway, NASCAR coming to town, baby.
• 8:55
  All right, tell me how dumb I am.
