- 0:02Happy Monday morning, everybody. Man, what a happy Monday morning
- 0:09it is. A star is born.
- 0:15There was a star in the making. We knew he would be a star.
- 0:18Carson Hosavar. Hurricane Hosavar.
- 0:24Hey, I got another thing for you, too.
- 0:27The Toyotas don't have an advantage this week.
- 0:32Mile my Do you see how quick a storyline can change in NASCAR?
- 0:38Last week there was a lot of people up in arms.
- 0:42Oh my gosh, Toyota's got an advantage this week.
- 0:48It is a new world, a new beginning, a new era in NASCAR.
- 0:55Let's get right to it. I'm almost speechless.
- 0:59I have so much to say. It's unbelievable.
- 1:04But I'm going to say the the loud part right now.
- 1:08I've always said that we were lacking drivers that have
- 1:15charisma and I and I had some people respond to me.
- 1:19Oh, there's drivers out there. Look at this guy, he talks.
- 1:24I'm like, there's different speech.
- 1:26There's a big difference between talking and entertaining.
- 1:31Years ago, we had entertainers. We had Rusty and Earnhardt
- 1:35throwing water bottles at each other.
- 1:38We had drivers. You know, you had Darrell
- 1:41Waltrip creating sayings and cliches.
- 1:45You had characters. You had Sterling Marlin.
- 1:50He'd look at you and he'd say, well, all right, Sterling, how'd
- 1:53you qualify? Well, main old lady going to
- 1:55Baiting Lake, you could imitate drivers from the past.
- 2:02Carson O Savar and Cletus MacFarlane.
- 2:07What they did over the weekend is one for the ages.
- 2:13Drink a coffee and then we're going to begin.
- 2:15Everybody, where do we start? Let's start backwards.
- 2:24I get on social media this morning and you see a driver
- 2:31doing something that the drivers used to do back in the old days.
- 2:35Remember when Michael Waltrip would always just talk about his
- 2:38sponsors and everybody ate it up?
- 2:41Remember the commercial? I'm at the wrong track.
- 2:46Remember that? It created memories.
- 2:50Guess where Carson Hosovar, our new superstar, was last night?
- 2:56He won the race at Talladega, got on the jet, flew straight up
- 3:00there to Charlotte, NC, went straight to his sponsors
- 3:04restaurant Chili's with the trophy and that's nothing.
- 3:10Guess what he showed up in? That's right, a Dale Earnhardt
- 3:15senior T-shirt. He talks to talk.
- 3:20He hasn't changed. This kid, remember, bought the
- 3:25Dale Earnhardt Senior black #3 pickup truck two years ago and
- 3:29drove it to Rockingham. Remember, the very first race at
- 3:34Rockingham in 30 years was last year, Not this year.
- 3:38There he was in the infield. Carson Hosavar, Hurricane
- 3:42Hosavar. He was in the infield at
- 3:45Rockingham with the Earnhardt truck.
- 3:49You see what's going on. Not just is he entertaining us,
- 3:54but he's always been an Earnhardt senior fan.
- 3:56This is a double dose. This is a double dose of massive
- 4:01entertainment. So then when he wins the race,
- 4:06he's got it in his mind. He says, man, if I ever win a
- 4:08NASCAR race, this is what I'm going to do and here's the way
- 4:12I'm going to do it. I'm going to take my foot and
- 4:15I'm going to put it on the gas pedal.
- 4:16I'm going to have it right here. And when he won the race at
- 4:20Talladega, I'm just like you. I'm like, what the hell is he
- 4:23doing? Oh, my God.
- 4:25I said to my wife Kim, he's going to run his own car into
- 4:28the wall. And he stops it at the last
- 4:30minute. And the fans and everybody,
- 4:32we're all watching what the hell is Carson host of are doing?
- 4:36What is Hurricane host of are doing?
- 4:40And then there it was. He sits on the door of his race
- 4:46car, sits on the door, drives it, works the gas pedal.
- 4:50He's outside the race car waving to the fans.
- 4:55Oh, that's not all. Guess what social media does
- 5:00then? Social media goes.
- 5:02That's Dale senior at Richmond years ago, cleaning his
- 5:06windshield. You see what's going on here.
- 5:13I think I think Dale junior is going to be happy about this
- 5:19hurricane. Is is Dale senior entertainment
- 5:24through and through He's he's he's tugging at our
- 5:29heartstrings. He's tugging our heartstrings.
- 5:33He's got the number 3 senior pickup truck.
- 5:37He's he's sitting outside of his race car waving to the fans like
- 5:42Earnhardt did at Richmond. He's wearing the Earnhardt
- 5:45T-shirt. He's got the big glasses.
- 5:48Earnhardt Dale Senior used to wear the gargoyles.
- 5:52And last but not least, he's a little bit like Richard Petty.
- 5:56He's wearing a cowboy hat. And of course, that's all part
- 6:01of the Chili's promo, ladies and gentlemen, just what the doctor
- 6:08ordered. Now, listen, hold on.
- 6:10Oh, don't let me break my arm. I've been saying all along, we
- 6:17need somebody that's got a personality for too long.
- 6:23NASCAR back in, back when it all went down bad.
- 6:27No more cussing in NASCAR. So all the drivers took that and
- 6:31they climbed right up. I want to thank all the boys
- 6:34back at the shop, You know, all this, this, you know, just
- 6:40Gestapo like, you know, everybody marching in line.
- 6:50Hurricane Ozilar gives us what we want.
- 6:54He's the real deal. This is the beginning of a new
- 6:59era in NASCAR. You watch and I'm going to leave
- 7:02you with this. I've been behind, you know,
- 7:08Listen, I got to shove it up your ass just a little bit.
- 7:12You know the Hermit are not going to let you if you've made
- 7:14it this far. We're 7 minutes.
- 7:18Who's the one that's been telling you for the last five
- 7:20years? We need somebody with with
- 7:24spark, with energy. The drivers are too lame.
- 7:28I've been telling you that. And that's exactly what I'm
- 7:32talking about. Guys like the past.
- 7:36They're gone and everybody cleaned up too much.
- 7:41And I saw something that I really like.
- 7:43I really like Steve O'Donnell, the new president.
- 7:48NASCAR said hurricane sitting on the door is not banned.
- 7:55He can do it again. I'm I'm sure he has insurance if
- 7:59he falls out of the car. He he, he already signed that
- 8:03document saying you won't sue me.
- 8:06NASCAR likes to keep things safe.
- 8:09So when they see something bad that's going to hurt people,
- 8:12they're like, no, that's not good.
- 8:15Now hail Melon Ross. Just saying that got banned
- 8:19because that was outside the boundaries.
- 8:21You can't do that because that's that that that's like throwing a
- 8:26golf ball, OK, You got to hit it with the stick.
- 8:29See, you know that that's the way that is.
- 8:32And everybody understands that. Plus, Ross Chastain told me I
- 8:36don't ever want to do that again.
- 8:37That hurt like hell in ending Steve O'Donnell, the new
- 8:43president. NASCAR fist bumps, fist bumps,
- 8:49hurricane fist bumps. Now that, my friends, is a new
- 8:54era. NASCAR and Steve O'Donnell says
- 8:58that is not banned. You can sit on your door all you
