  Happy Monday morning, everybody. Everybody's right and
• 0:07
  everybody's wrong. Stop, children, watch that
• 0:12
  sound. Everybody, look what's going
• 0:15
  round. Never, never let singing the
• 0:22
  wrong words stay in your way. In other words, if you don't
• 0:27
  know the words, still sing. All right, everybody, here we
• 0:34
  are on this Monday morning, 28° out.
• 0:39
  But you know what they say on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,
• 0:44
  Saturday, 80°. Have you ever?
• 0:49
  And that leads me to this. That leads me to this.
• 0:54
  There it is, race fans. Been there for two months.
• 0:58
  I-55 mods gone wild. March 19th, 2020.
• 1:05
  First I've had I've had that hanging up there for seems like
• 1:12
  2 months. So they going to have to race
• 1:15
  this weekend because it's going to be 80° starting on Wednesday.
• 1:21
  All right, everybody, man, so much to say.
• 1:26
  A very exciting Sunday or yesterday in all of our racing.
• 1:36
  Seems to me like all racing's doing good.
• 1:40
  How about that IndyCar race down there in Arlington, TX?
• 1:46
  They ran the Indycars around the Texas Rangers stadium, the
• 1:51
  Dallas Cowboys stadium, Dallas Cowboy owner Jerry Jones said.
• 1:57
  We were only going to do this if it was quality.
• 2:00
  And Rodger Penske is quality. Good race.
• 2:04
  Kirkwood won. And yeah, he made it, I think a
• 2:08
  daring, outbreaking maneuver. And so that was exciting.
• 2:15
  OK, NASCAR drinking coffee. So much to say, so much to say.
• 2:32
  I think I saw yester last night, somebody said should the
• 2:39
  Chevrolets panic since only Toyotas and 1 Ford have one?
• 2:47
  Oh yeah. Oh yeah, let me.
• 2:49
  Hey, like brother Rusty says, you got to remind people they
• 2:54
  remember what they want to Ryan Blaney, he won Phoenix and that
• 3:00
  was a Ford. But yes, it is true.
• 3:03
  Toyotas are on their game and they've won every single race
• 3:07
  since. So I think Chevrolet and Ford
• 3:13
  and Toyota, this is competition. Look, here's the way it goes.
• 3:18
  It goes like this. It goes all like that and right
• 3:22
  now it's like that NASCAR official told me down there at
• 3:26
  Circuit of the America that high end NASCAR officials said
• 3:32
  Herman. We don't have mechanics anymore,
• 3:37
  we have engineers. So it's up to the engineers at
• 3:41
  Chevrolet to get those cars faster so those those Cup
• 3:47
  drivers have a better chance at being a little more competitive.
• 3:51
  But, you know, I mean, hey, Chase Elliott was in it
• 3:54
  yesterday. Chase Elliott was running 2nd
• 3:58
  and, you know, closing in on Denny Hamlin at the very end of
• 4:02
  that race. So listen, I think you're going
• 4:07
  to hear a lot about that this week.
• 4:09
  You know, is Chevrolet in trouble?
• 4:12
  No, they just got to they got to get better.
• 4:15
  Their engineers have got to find something, get their cars a
• 4:17
  little faster. It's the same thing with all
• 4:20
  automakers. You know, they listen.
• 4:22
  It's, it's just the way it is. It's, it's, it's that way every
• 4:25
  weekend. Here, let me leave you with
• 4:31
  this. It's not like the good old days
• 4:34
  where once, you know, an automaker had an advantage.
• 4:38
  They had it all year long in NASCAR.
• 4:43
  Automakers don't have an advantage because it's the
• 4:47
  that's why this Next Gen. car, it's all the same.
• 4:50
  And each engineer of each automaker just finds a little
• 4:54
  something. Just a little something could
• 4:56
  last for a month. And a month is a long time.
• 4:59
  Who knows, You know, Chevrolet's going to be back winning here in
• 5:04
  just a little bit. Or Ford.
• 5:05
  Ford's getting stronger. Chris Buscher had his best run
• 5:08
  of the year. OK, drink a coffee and then
• 5:13
  we're going to talk about Ross Chastain versus Daniel Suarez.
• 5:25
  Don't you love the media? So, you know, listen, this this
• 5:32
  is a study in psychology. The the media needs drama so
• 5:41
  they get clicks, right? That that's the way it is.
• 5:44
  But but listen, everybody in life is like that.
• 5:47
  I mean, even race car drivers, you know, why do they do media
• 5:51
  rounds to get attention to their sponsors?
• 5:54
  So everybody's the same. Everybody talks crap about each
• 5:59
  other, but in the end, everybody's the same.
• 6:03
  Everybody's promoting their product.
• 6:06
  So same thing with the media people.
• 6:08
  So here's the scenario. Daniel Suarez, or as they call
• 6:13
  him, Danny Boy and Watermelon Man, Ross Chastain, everybody
• 6:17
  got a nickname nowadays. Everybody got a nickname.
• 6:21
  They get into it. They get into it during the Cup
• 6:24
  race and they kind of do like this after the race is over, you
• 6:29
  know, and I don't know who the lady is with the big sunflower
• 6:32
  hat on. She got a big some, not a
• 6:34
  sombrero hat, but there there's some lady she she she
• 6:40
  interjected herself right in the middle and she says you boys are
• 6:43
  not going to fight. It's like it was like this nice
• 6:47
  lady. She was ready to throw down.
• 6:50
  Find me the name of the lady and respond right here.
• 6:53
  I was highly impressed. It was great.
• 6:58
  OK, so the fight, a little spat. It was a little spat.
• 7:05
  It ends and the media, you know, like this entourage of people,
• 7:10
  they go, they go running after their this is people they're
• 7:14
  running. They're running after Ross
• 7:18
  Chastain it and they want Ross to say something bad and they're
• 7:23
  like Ross, Ross, tell us what you said what happened?
• 7:28
  And Ross looks at the media and says not a chance.
• 7:32
  And the media goes, in other words, Ross talk some crap, say
• 7:39
  something bad so we can get some clicks.
• 7:43
  Now the media is mad at Ross because he didn't say nothing.
• 7:48
  It's just funny, right? He didn't say nothing bad about
• 7:52
  Daniel Suarez. Dammit.
• 7:54
  We'll make him next week. What he thinks he's going to run
• 7:57
  from us. We'll we'll get Ross Chass
• 7:59
  saying next week. We'll get him to say something.
• 8:03
  OK, look, this is kind of fun. I I get I'm going to cuss, but
• 8:08
  this is a warning. Ross Chastain, you will talk.
• 8:13
  Yes, you will. Because we need clicks.
• 8:19
  Oh, I love the media. I like him.
• 8:22
  He's really nice. I'm mad at him.
• 8:24
  He won't talk. All right, everybody have a
• 8:31
  great Monday.
