  first responders from that horrible tragedy at that.
• 3:11
  Pains me to say this. Do you all remember when the

• 3:18
  lives during that flood? Oh, yeah.
• 3:21
  We're going to have those first responders there.

• 3:27
  the best NASCAR drivers right there, Myself and Jose, That's
• 3:30
  going to be Friday night in the amphitheater.
• 3:33
  I think we're have like 4000 people there.
• 3:37
  So we're going to interview your top NASCAR drivers.
• 3:40
  Fandango, everybody, Friday night, Saturday, you're going to
• 3:45
  see me strolling through the garage area checking out these
• 3:49
  new Cup cars. I call them new.
• 3:51
  They're new to me. Been around a couple years now,
• 3:54
  the next Gen. So I'll see you all right there
• 3:57
  at Circuit of the America. Big weekend coming up for me.
• 4:00
  Of course, I'll leave there, come home on Sunday night after
• 4:04
  the race and I'll take off and I'll see you all at the broken
• 4:08
  spoke on Tuesday, Tuesday to Friday.
• 4:12
  Whoa. That was a mouthful, everybody.
• 4:15
  But it's a big weekend coming up.
• 4:19
  OK, Big story in the garage area switching subjects.
• 4:25
  Steve O'Donnell, president of NASCAR, he came into my hometown
• 4:32
  on Monday. He was here in Saint Louis.
• 4:35
  It was the Sports Business Journal or they call it SBJ
• 4:41
  Conference, and everybody was there.
• 4:43
  Ryan McGee from ESPN, he interviewed NASCAR president
• 4:53
  Steve O'Donnell. Steve O'Donnell.
• 4:58
  I had to do Steve's mixed up. Steve O'Donnell.
• 5:05
  I was very impressed with what Steve O'Donnell had to say.
• 5:11
  He says, you know what, we went through a lot, but we come out
• 5:14
  on the other side and part of NASCAR healing and heading in
• 5:19
  the right direction is Michael Jordan.
• 5:22
  Wow. I tell you what, I read the
• 5:25
  article. I read what Steve said.
• 5:28
  That was one for the ages. Of course, he said some things
• 5:32
  that he's has said before. You know, we got it wrong, we're
• 5:37
  making it right. But another big one that I
• 5:41
  thought was pretty incredible was he said the president of
• 5:46
  Fox, which is Eric Shanks. Eric Shanks told Steve O'Donnell
• 5:51
  your job is to get NASCAR back the way it needs to be.
• 5:56
  See, it's it's no secret. Everybody you know, you don't
• 5:59
  got to respond right here and go, well, they need to get
• 6:02
  NASCAR back. They know NASCAR knows the
• 6:07
  Sports Business Journal right here in St.
• 6:10
  Louis, MO No, I'm talking about they were in real.
• 6:13
  This wasn't a newspaper, it was a conference.
• 6:15
  They all were there. So by reading this article, it
• 6:24
  made me realize something I've always known, but here it was in
• 6:28
  print that NASCAR is going to get this this deal back.
• 6:33
  And boy, they they've got a hell of a start.
• 6:35
  So I want to thank Steve O'Donnell for, you know, telling
• 6:41
  some of his secrets. Listen, a lot of presidents,
• 6:45
  they don't go, yeah, president of Fox Sports called me up and
• 6:48
  said it's it's my job to get NASCAR back.
• 6:53
  Very impressed by that. OK, everybody, I want to end
• 7:02
  like this. Sat on the couch here yesterday
• 7:07
  for a little bit talking to Kim's mom.
• 7:10
  And I said, you know, Dee, I said I was up at Mcalister's
• 7:14
  Deli and I talked. I saw, oh, here we go.
• 7:18
  I saw, I have seen two people that were 80 years old at
• 7:24
  Mcalister's Deli and they both were on their phone and they
• 7:29
  weren't talking to each other. And she goes, well, Oh my God,
• 7:34
  this is horrible. We're addicted to our phones.
• 7:36
  I'm like Dee, you know, it's, it's not horrible.
• 7:39
  It's all good. We still talk.
• 7:42
  The cell phone is now the newspaper.
• 7:47
  People find joy in it. I, I hope people will spend time
• 7:55
  talking good about others like I do.
• 7:58
  I lead by example, I read, I discuss, and then I do this
• 8:03
  little 10 minute coffee with Kenny.
• 8:06
  In the mornings I'd probably spend 30 minutes reading a
• 8:11
  newspaper. So I I observe and I see what's
• 8:14
  going on around and then on every morning I do a little
• 8:18
  coffee with Kenny. If I didn't have this phone, I
• 8:23
  wouldn't be able to do coffee with Kenny.
• 8:25
  So let's celebrate this new technology.
• 8:29
  I think it brings people a lot of joy.
• 8:31
  Like anything, social media must be handled properly.
• 8:40
  Have a great Wednesday everybody.
• 8:42
  See in Daytona Beach, Ormond Beach, see right outside of
• 8:46
  Daytona, see Ormond Beach, go see Steven and the boys this
• 8:51
  Friday. Broken spoke Southern country
• 8:54
