  OK, as I told you in the past, I know everything.
• 0:52
  I'm the greatest. Now remember, we're having fun.
• 0:57
  That's me imitating all of you. When you all start arguing with
• 1:00
  me, I, I keep forgetting. That's right, you know
• 1:03
  everything. You're the greatest.
• 1:07
  So remember, I know what the new championship point format is.
• 1:11
  And I've had to keep it a secret for two weeks.
• 1:15
  And I knew that Mark Martin was going to be with NASCAR for the
• 1:21
  announcement to approve it, but I didn't know Dale Junior was
• 1:27
  going to be there. So today for the announcement,
• 1:31
  Mark Martin, Dale Junior, they approve of the new championship
• 1:36
  format. So if you don't like this
• 1:39
  format, you're going to have to hate Dale Junior and you're
• 1:42
  going to have to hate Mark Martin because they are there to
• 1:46
  put their approval on it. So once and for all, everybody
• 1:52
  this long national nightmare is over.
• 1:57
  Both of them, Mark the kid Martin out of Batesville, AR and
• 2:02
  Dale Earnhardt Junior are already on social media.
• 2:07
  And it was Mark Martin that said I am at NASCAR.
• 2:12
  Mark Martin said I am at NASCAR. And Dale Junior said see you
• 2:16
  soon pal. How smart is NASCAR to do this,
• 2:23
  to get the most well respected driver and the most famous
• 2:27
  driver of them all, Dale Earnhardt Junior, to put their
• 2:31
  approval, their stamp on the new championship format.
• 2:37
  Man, oh man, Steve O'Donnell, he, he got it going on.
• 2:42
  Now I will tell you this, I'm not going to tell you the name
• 2:49
  because I like to keep my names private.
• 2:51
  They told me NASCAR told me. They flat told me to my face.
• 2:58
  Herman, we are going to get NASCAR back to where it should
• 3:02
  be. NASCAR recognizes that they
• 3:05
  messed up in the past. So take this moment as a win for
• 3:10
  you all. Don't keep fighting NASCAR.
• 3:13
  Remember what? Remember the the coffee with
• 3:16
  Kenny I made last week? Is this like a love affair for
• 3:19
  you all? Are you going to be mad at them
• 3:22
  just because? Remember it's like a husband and
• 3:25
  wife. You're just, you're just still
• 3:27
  mad. I'm not going to forgive them.
• 3:31
  However, Mark the kid Martin out of Batesville, AR the most well
• 3:37
  respected driver of all time. Remember on coffee with Kenny
• 3:43
  when Mark Martin drove up my driveway with his son Matt, I
• 3:47
  asked Mark. I said Mark.
• 3:49
  I said what does it mean to you to be the most well respected
• 3:53
  driver in NASCAR? Mark Martin responded.
• 3:57
  It's my everything. Mark Martin said.
• 3:59
  It is my championship. Mark likes being respected
• 4:04
  because he gives respect. And then they have Dale Junior
• 4:07
  there to put their approval on this announcement.
• 4:11
  You all have no choice now. I know you.
• 4:13
  I'm not telling you what to do. I'm not telling you, but you all
• 4:17
  had said Mark Martin's your man and so is Dale Junior.
• 4:21
  So be ready, everybody. 3:00 Eastern Standard Time.
• 4:24
  That's 2:00 right here in Saint Louis.
• 4:28
  All right, drink a coffee. NASCAR continues to give you all
• 4:40
  what you want. NASCAR is still in repair,
• 4:43
  repair mode. They are in damage control.
• 4:46
  They are making everything the way you want it.
• 4:50
  OK, let's go over it all. We got some big new
• 4:52
  announcements. OK, We said Steve Phelps is

• 5:27
  Now, if that's listen, if, if that's not going back to the
• 5:31
  good old days, I don't know. But listen, Miranda Lambert,
• 5:34
  she's a hell of a singer, easy on the eyes and back to the good
• 5:40
  old days. Now.
• 5:44
  Now they're drinking coffee. If that's not all, as we talked
• 5:51
  about Ram trucks with college racing along with Fox TV.
• 5:58
  Now Fox is part of this. Guess what else they announce?
• 6:04
  They announce a reality show. They are finding the last NASCAR
• 6:10
  Craftsman truck driver to plug in to one of the seats on one of
• 6:16
  those NASCAR trucks. Now why is this so meaningful?
• 6:21
  Who was the last driver to win the Gong Show?
• 6:25
  Before you were born? Before you were born, Roush
• 6:29
  Racing. Now it's RFK Roush Fenway
• 6:32
  Keselowski. What driver was part of the Gong
• 6:36
  Show and came on to be one of the greatest of all time?
• 6:42
  Respond right here. Who was it?
• 6:46
  Kurt Busch. Kurt Busch was part of the Gong
• 6:50
  show with Roush Fenway. They even brought that back for
• 6:55
  you. Ram trucks.
• 6:57
  Ram trucks, What they said, they said, listen, NASCAR, it's a lot
• 7:02
  of money. We can't just run the car around
• 7:05
  in circles. So they're going back to the
• 7:08
  good old days where there were reality shows.
• 7:10
  Remember, Remember Sweet Daddy right here?
• 7:16
  I was the one that did NASCAR 360.
• 7:19
  My God, that was unbelievable for our family.
• 7:22
  My kids couldn't go anywhere. Me and my wife, we were like
• 7:26
  rock stars. We were the ones that helped
• 7:29
  usher in FS1 and they they called it NASCAR 360 and there
• 7:37
  we were. Google it, go to YouTube.
• 7:40
  NASCAR 360. Kenny Wallace.
• 7:43
  So I would say NASCAR heard you, everybody, they listen to you.
• 7:48
  We got the NASCAR championship format today and Dale Junior and
• 7:54
  Mark Martin, they like it because it's back to what we
• 7:58
