Jim Gardner: No. Slim Pushins: But you're on the radar now. You're one of a hundred and what? Twenty one, Jim? Jim Gardner: Thirty Like I had so many now I had to redo all the math. one thirty nine. Yeah. Slim Pushins: Really? Good. Corby Scherb: Am I a hundred and thirty second? 'Cause that'd be that'd be all right. Jim Gardner: Corby Sherb. Corby Scherb: I know that just pains you to say that name. Jim Gardner: sure it was coming in at a crystal cool Slim Pushins: Corby redraw sure. Jim Gardner: a crystal cool hundred and two on the power rankings Corby Scherb: nice, nice, nice. May maybe we can slip inside the top hundred. Jim Gardner: George Truly, me I'm in fifty seventh. After another disastrous showing at Grayson County Speedway Friday night or Saturday night. My race results look like I Corby Scherb: We're gonna talk about power rankings or are we gonna talk about Grayson? Slim Pushins: What? Corby Scherb: 'Cause we we got we got a whole bunch to to consume about Grayson. Slim Pushins: We got a half hour set aside. Jim Gardner: My power rankings results look like a Scotty Schuffer weekend scorecard. It's just minus seven, minus eight, minus fourteen, plus two. Slim Pushins: Where do you come up with the cliches? Jim Gardner: Maddening. here. We'll Slim Pushins: Which part? Jim Gardner: pull it up for everybody the entire season. no real change at the top. I'll pa I'll post this tomorrow. Slim Pushins: Doublefield Thompson. Go figure. Jim Gardner: I've been behind the last two weeks just between nationals and bunch of stuff going on. Actually get them posted. Corby Scherb: Christie was ripping, man, he could've maybe made some some moves at the front if he didn't have motor go south. Slim Pushins: He was fast. Corby Scherb: Yeah, he was going good. Jim Gardner: Yeah, he he kaboomed it pretty good. Slim Pushins: Who's Jim Gardner: It looked like Corby Scherb: Yeah, I I bet you it more like a garage door there. Jim Gardner: Yeah, Slim Pushins: Thomas Johnston up five spots. Is that Corby Scherb: Yeah. Slim Pushins: the that's looks like the big mover? Jim Gardner: Brax Yeah, Braxton Braxton got caught up in Lance's oil. Looked like he about tattooed the fence. after that. I'm sure that was Slim Pushins: They didn't seem too concerned with repairing it or covering it. Jim Gardner: No. So Yeah. Corby Scherb: Jack was taking rubber, o the oil isn't gonna d do a ton different. If anything, it's gonna cool it cool his tires off. Jim Gardner: yeah, the power rankings you know, added w I didn't post it last week, but added the race down at one five over Labor Day weekend and then added Grayson County in there. So Thomas Johnson Slim Pushins: Yeah, we've been lacking over Nationals week. Jim Gardner: Yeah, Thomas Johnson was second at 105 a couple weeks ago and Lance won it. you know, the top three are pretty solid. I don't know if anybody's gonna really move them around. but that is the power rankings. Slim Pushins: Wilson dropped one, got passed by the kid. Jim Gardner: Yeah, well, that's what happens when you win the race, man. Start winning races and moving Slim Pushins: DJ Jim Gardner: up. Slim Pushins: DJ taking a few weeks off, get ready for nationals and stuff, has slipped a couple of spots. Rickets didn't race, stayed the same. Jim Gardner: the Corby Scherb: John John showed up. He he was there Saturday night. Yep. Slim Pushins: he was there. Sorry. My bad. Jim Gardner: Yep. The interesting one, and I posted it on the the the Facebook teaser, Michael Day has had himself like a month. feel like he's been in the top three at every race in the last six weeks, including a a trip to the nationals, a main. again, he's just breaking into the top twenty five. Slim Pushins: Crash in the top twenty five. Jim Gardner: Yeah. and he's getting murdered on the on the participation metric. for missing most of the season. But really since they got their motor back felt like the first of August. they've been really, really fast. They haven't got a win but they've been up front every race it feels like feels like the last month or six weeks or so. So they've been doing a good job. But there it is. Current power rankings. So like I said, the top three, I don't think the top three are gonna move. So we'll see. Slim Pushins: Yeah, he did struggle at nationals, James. They rebuilt that motor. Michael Michael Day. Corby Scherb: Michael. Yeah, but man, Roger Oak Roger Oakes is a trooper. Yeah, no, Roger Oakes is a trooper, man. That that dude Jim Gardner: They didn't struggle on Sunday. Yeah, they didn't struggle on Sunday when they were up front. So I think they ran in the top ten. Corby Scherb: that dude he got in a sprint he got in one of one of our cars, at Hunt County, I think the first ever gobbler. he can still roll just fine in a sprint car, Roger can, so Jim Gardner: Yeah. Rogers they're sharp with it. Michael Day gets it on too and they've just been real good. real Corby Scherb: Yeah. Jim Gardner: solid. have to have to contend with I was in his heat race on Saturday and I was like, All right, you know, if we can stick with the ninety one car, we'll we're probably pretty good and and couldn't really stick with Corby Scherb: I wonder if someone I well I wonder if like someone like gave you some tips there before that heat race, you know, before you start trying to dog on me, you know, if I if I remember right if I remember right, Jim Gardner: I had it lo on lockdown. Why do you think I'm gonna doggone you? Corby Scherb: like I leaned in the car and like I I told you, I was like, you know, the top's not there, you know, it's kinda patchy, pay attention, you gotta roll from the outside of the inn, enter in three and then I hope you fight with the strength of ten grown men. Jim Gardner: When I had Kevin Fry in my ear the whole time, I didn't even listen to you. Slim Pushins: You can't talk to Jim in the car. He gets the anxiety level, he's not receptive. Corby Scherb: Now he unplugged his receiver and everything. He was now he was listening. He and he did it. He did he did really good in his heat race. avoided a lot of the carnage that was happening around him. because Braxton and Harman were going at it in that heat race, so i it was a good thing that you were you separated from that one. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Yeah, we got yeah, we got clear from them and it the car was okay. It it was I'm I'm still just f fighting it. If you had an in car shot of of me in there just swatting flies left and right, but the car actually looks okay from the outside, but really struggling. Still, so it is what it is. But let's talk about let's talk about the return of the king, Corby. Corby Scherb: King. Jim Gardner: You you great you you made your Corby Scherb: Drew really high. Jim Gardner: Tyson like return to the ring after yeah, that's been the story of twenty twenty six, rider. there's just no way of getting around it. It's not car issue, it's not anything else other than The nut behind the wheel or the nut turning the wrenches. It's just that's it's Slim Pushins: Kid had some adversity this this last weekend too. Jim Gardner: Yeah, I saw they Corby Scherb: For sure. Jim Gardner: looks like the kingpin boss just snapped out of their axle. That sucks. That's no good. Corby Scherb: I'm glad I didn't try to say that 'cause I'd have just said the front axle broke in half. The holder Slim Pushins: That's what I got out of it. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Corby Scherb: of the kingpin, that thing. Jim Gardner: Yeah. But anyway, Corby talk about the the the surprise appearance you made. You slow rolled everybody last weekend. Corby Scherb: Yeah, man. Mike Clement talked to me a little bit. actually the first time I met him was at Ardmore, I don't know, a couple of months back and he gave me that that cool little picture frame that I showed everyone of my mom's sticker and he approached me and asked me if I wanted to drive, said that he'd like it if I helped Caden a little bit, his son, who raced a couple of times this year and I was like, Yeah, man, sure. You know, let's go somewhere like Grayson, like somewhere that's kinda lacks it's been it's been a little over a year since I've been in a car. and so we we got together, I went over there, I met with him, he's great dude. good looking car, there was nothing wrong with it. He's he's the type to take it apart kinda like Jimmy, just for no reason whatsoever and put it back together. And then Jim Gardner: Yeah, that's me. That sounds about right. You gotta polish the brake rotors on it. Corby Scherb: Yeah, for sure. And we went we went up there and Jimmy drew and then it wa I don't remember who drew right in front of you, but it was two like decently low numbers and then it was me and Braxton standing together and I was like, dude, you watch, dude. It's it's a computer draw, I said guarantee you the next two are high. And sure enough, me and Braxton were the two highest at the time. Casey Merrell tried to contend with us. drew really big and Jim Gardner: I drew a forty n Slim Pushins: What is it? Jim Gardner: I drew a forty nine before you start getting Slim Pushins: Eighty five and ninety five eighty eight and ninety five. Jim Gardner: before you start getting real jealous, Corby Scherb: And Jim Gardner: I drew a forty nine before we're starting to throw Jim threw a l low Corby Scherb: No, I drew an eighty five. We we were deep. Jim Gardner: number. Corby Scherb: you you were in the top half. And I at the time, like I in my head, I was thinking we were gonna like twelve or thirteen cars, so like you you were safe and sure enough, pull up my race pass and s stacked heat race and I'm like rad. Really rad. Jim Gardner: Ha ha ha. Corby Scherb: Bolton starting up Slim Pushins: Right. Corby Scherb: front and then Debrick and John Riggets were right in front of me. And s kinda kinda got lucky, I guess. the car was really tight in hot laps and so We made some changes for the heat race and it was it was better. It was still a little bit right rear heavy. I don't know, just just just got lucky. I ain't that good of a race car driver and C's kinda parted and then Devin Debrick ended up breaking and punt trying to punch a hole through the concrete wall on the last lap, so we sleek sneaked in the redraw. Slim Pushins: Just laid the red carpet out for Corby for a redraw. Corby Scherb: Just snuck in a redraw Jim Gardner: Moses there. Corby Scherb: and it was it was cool and I I didn't know how fast we was. It was Carson in our heat race and so I pulled up lap times and we were li I I think it was like five hundred. He beat me by five hundreds on fastest lap. So we were good. I I mean I felt okay. it's still it's just it's knocking the rust off and being confident whenever you sit in the car and I said I I I've started the car one time before that, so it was cool. It was it was nice to to s sit back down and strap in and it was really cool to fill the Slim Pushins: Make the redraw. Corby Scherb: yeah, f I know that just eats Jim up that we made redraw there and go up to redraw and sure enough, picked a cool little kid all the way down at the end of the stands and him and his mom stood there and they took pictures with me and then kid pulled me a two, so I was like, Man, it's it's it's a good day. It's a really good day. So Slim Pushins: The green flag dropped and Corby Scherb: No, we actually before the green flag dropped, I got cold feet because cart was still a little bit right rear heavy in the heat race and I was I was nervous going into the feature that we were gonna be tight still and got caught with my pants down. something that Jim Gardner says to never ever ever ever do. And I knew when we pushed out for the feature we were in trouble. Big trouble. Jim Gardner: Yeah, Slim Pushins: Jim, you changed gears midway through the night. Was that the move? Jim Gardner: yeah. It so Grayson County, we've had a lot of good good success with Grayson County. And I think Corby's brother Logan has won won like six straight shows there. Justin Bates ran won there in in one of the cars we put together. LePlant Corby Scherb: Rider Laplant, you know. Jim Gardner: ran there, like we all know what Grayson County is. And I Corby Scherb: For sure. Jim Gardner: thought they did a great job. Kevin Fry's up there now. they they were organized. you know, Wes Cranville and Suzanne were were running the show with with Kevin and they were organized and had us in the driver's meeting and said, All right, here's what we're thinking about doing. you know, is that all right with you? And w and was good shape. I had a pretty aggressive game plan. You know, I had a couple of people. Corby Scherb: There was a driver's meeting? Jim Gardner: Yeah, there was. you weren't there. It's all right. and You I had a couple of people ask me who had never been there, you know, what's it like? What what are we in for? And it the closest comp is Abilene, probably, where you can just be real aggressive with it off the truck with plenty of grip. The problem is the corners are really, really tight and especially early when it's got some some moisture in it, it'll bite you. I bucked it up Corby Scherb: For sure. Jim Gardner: and had it on the bike and hot laps pretty hard the first corner. and it it caught my attention how how gripped up it can feel. It's not that it's gripped up, but but the the corners are so tight, if you're real aggressive with your right rear spacing and air pressure, it can it can bite you and and it about tipped me over in in practice. so I was afraid to tighten my car up. I actually freed my car up for the heat race a little bit and it kinda hurt me. But but then yeah, we were We you know, we should have known better, both of us, Corby and I, to to go ahead and and be overly aggressive with the cars and I chose not to. I was kinda working on a different platform thing that that Kevin Ramey had called me about after watching my car at RPM. you know, and I I was venting to him some of the frustrations I had with the balance and he gave me some stuff to to think about. So I was trying to see that through. And I didn't I wasn't aggressive enough with some other stuff on that platform that I left a lot of meat on the bone for the main event and we were on top of the racetrack. Our balance was good, but we just didn't have a lot of grip anywhere. So but it was fun. it was fun, you know, I made the redraw. I it was great to to go up into the stands and meet meet the kids and thanks to Lance Christie, he brought little flags for us all to give give give the kids. And I had a sweet little gal named Patience, the one in the blue there. She pulled my flag, she pulled my redraw, gave me a six. It's okay. Patience, you're still my Corby Scherb: Mint. Jim Gardner: still my favorite fan. So her her mom's been emailing me back and forth, sent her a sent Patience a t-shirt today. thanking her for for her help on Saturday. And I think we need to do more stuff like that. get kids involved and you know when we used to do the driver introductions with TSS and it'd be 24 drivers and at 7 p.m before heat races it was hot and it drug out a little bit but the six drivers and redraw is a good balance and and the fans up at Grayson County are just rowdy. I was telling a bunch of people Corby Scherb: For sure. Jim Gardner: last the last time I think I was there I watched Scott Sherb sign a guy's forehead with a Sharpie. you know a guy had to go to work Monday morning with with one S written across his forehead. They they love their sprint cars up there. you know, the racetracks is what it is. it's sandy, it's it's dry, it's abrasive, and the rubber's gonna come in at you know, with five to go at least. But the racing's actually pretty compelling. it was pretty racy there the first ten laps of the race. There was a lot of of of of room. So Slim Pushins: Photo photo Mike said I'll put up five hundred dollars on Saturday night if I take Jimmy Gardner's picture on the podium on Saturday night at KSP. Jim Gardner: Well well, so I appreciate that, Mike. And Claude Estes posted that he would sponsor me a hundred dollars if I won Saturday, and his money is safe. It is in a vault in Geneva, essentially, for me to get my first win. But Mike, I appreciate that that that gesture. I will not be running Saturday. I'll be down there. Tire says last time I re Slim Pushins: Jason Tyler said last time I ran Grayson we did nineteen pace laps. Corby Scherb: they're they're serious over there in Grace Grayson and Abilene fans. Yeah, Jim Gardner: Yeah. Corby Scherb: Grayson and Abilene. it's not a joke. Jim Gardner: Yeah, they they don't get to see sprint cars often and and it place was packed. there's not much to do Corby Scherb: Yeah, for sure. Jim Gardner: up here in in in Sherman, Texas on a Saturday night. So it was packed and th they really like it. But yeah, so I'm not running Kennendale this Saturday, Mike, but I appreciate the the extra the extra fuel to the fire. I don't really need it, but I appreciate it. So anyway, Grayson County was fun. I wish we'd get more races up there. I you know. Corby Scherb: It was cool, man. It was a good feature. Man, it it th the the rubber came in off the bottom. i it was it was elbows up for sure. you could be super aggressive and make people choose really well if they were gonna take you both out or they were gonna give you the spot. I I thought it was Jim Gardner: Well, I got Corby Scherb: fun. What's that? Jim Gardner: No, go ahead. Go ahead. Corby Scherb: I I th I thought it was I thought the racetrack was really good. for what it was. I did the same, you know, Carson Bolden backs up his Eagle Nebraska win with the win there. And I really don't think that Braxton was the best car on the racetrack. Braxton I mean not Braxton, I'm sorry. Carson did exactly what Carson needed to do. And he got really good restarts every time. he put in two or three really good laps and whoever was behind him I know the majority the end of it was Michael Day and Michael couldn't do anything with him, but it was an absolute war behind him. So it was it was it was good racing. Slim Pushins: Back there in the dog pound. Corby Scherb: For sure. For sure. yeah. Whenever we pushed out, f Jim Gardner: K Kurbo loves that. Corby Scherb: whenever we pushed out I saw someone Slim Pushins: For me was back there fighting for a doghouse. Corby Scherb: I saw someone Jim Gardner: Yeah. Corby Scherb: messing with their wing, they had their mechanic off and I I wanted to tell Kerbo, like, put the wing in the trunk and we'll just go to the tail even if we have to. 'cause it was gonna be slick. It was gonna be slick. That's we had the first red flag and Mike Clement and Kerbo came out there and they asked me how he was and I was like, dude, we are if the rubber don't come Jim Gardner: Ha ha. Corby Scherb: in, like there is we're done. They're we're getting swallowed right now. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Slim Pushins: Kevin, what are you what are you working on for next year? I might have missed some comments. some more Grayson? Corby Scherb: Probably more s some more grayson, I I would I would imagine. Jim Gardner: I'm I'm hoping Corby Scherb: Yeah. Jim Gardner: they get a couple more shows. Like like I said, it it's hard on tires. Abilene's hard on tires. Waco's hard on tires. The a lot of places are hard on tires. It just is what it is. It hadn't rained. We haven't had measurable rain in Grayson County in like seventy-five days. Slim Pushins: It's funny you say that. When I was pushing Corby around the chute, that that water tank that they've got is it's a it's Jim Gardner: That pond they got there is just a big hill. Slim Pushins: got about fifteen percent water left in it. Jim Gardner: Yeah. And and so we can cut some slack on the on the racetrack. You know, usually, you know, they've always had this September eleventh kind of date. you know, even when it was TSS, we've always kind of run right there around the second week of September and and I we've raced there and it's been cold. Like I've had family in town to go to a football game the next day and it's been really chilly. So, you know, this summer's just kinda killed it. but like I said, it it it Slim Pushins: What football game, Jim? Jim Gardner: when the Bengals came to play the Cowboys two years ago, I had some family come into town. So the Bengals lost that game. That's all Corby Scherb: Against Jim Gardner: I tried to forget that, but my Bengals got the win Sunday. So everything's all good, right? Slim Pushins: Jason Tyre and Justin Bates are just having their own show in the comments. Jim Gardner: Of course they are. I wouldn't even put it past them. So anyway, so I wanna try this is a f a pushing the cushion first. Corby, I just pulled my mom's Facebook Live videos. Slim Pushins: She's been waiting on this for a week. Corby Scherb: Do it. Slim Pushins: Or what, four days? Jim Gardner: Well shit. I didn't upload the first one. Slim Pushins: You're not supposed to cuss on here. Jim Gardner: Sh Corby Scherb: Supposed to bleep yourself. Jim Gardner: My bad. So hang on. I got I gotta upload it. But I kinda just I kinda just want to Slim Pushins: Yeah. Yeah, just stick with us here while Jim just dead air. Jim Gardner: because there's two of us and we're we couldn't get away from each other. I think we could do just kind of live commentary about what was going on and I don't feel like it's a huge copyright violation because it's not pulled from Kerbo's race on account. It's my mom's Facebook Live. but Slim Pushins: I couldn't even log into my own race race on account. Jim Gardner: He couldn't give it to anybody because my wife was watching it. All right. Here we go. this clip is two minutes long. There's my nephew Vinny, Vin Man. Vinny loves three things. Corby Scherb: What's up, Vinny? I had to give him knuckles, man. Wake Slim Pushins: Thirty five tries. Corby Scherb: him up. Slim Pushins: Jim, thirty five tries it took me before I could get a wave out of Vinny. Jim Gardner: Vinny Vinny loves three things playing baseball with his grandpa, Uncle Jim racing, vroom vroom, and taco casa. And so he was pumped up all day Saturday to go. Slim Pushins: Well, Slim Pushins isn't one of the three. Jim Gardner: All right, well, we're coming to green. We got Corby on the outside of the front row. Slim Pushins: Outside pole. Jim Gardner: And th this yeah, this is gonna track and follow me because it's my mom's video, but you'll get enough. So I get a pretty good launch there. I'm feeling actually pretty good about my race car early. Corby Scherb: Josh Hanna, man, outstanding run by him. Jim Gardner: He he did have a really good run. I I probably should have shut the door on him there. Slim Pushins: He was aggressive. I like it. Corby Scherb: Yep. His his wing was in the trunk. This dude was way more prepared than me and you, I promise. Jim Gardner: Yeah. So I'm I thought I was good. Now I've realized I'm struggling. I'm trying to hold keep Michael Day back there. and then I get this moving chicane in front of me, this black and orange car. There he is, chopped he chopped the shit out of me once down there in turn one. And then we go in Slim Pushins: He's just closing doors. Jim Gardner: and he just parks it down here. Braxton blows by us like we're both sitting in lazy boys. We're supposed to be teaching Braxton. And Braxton's done driven by us. Slim Pushins: Well, he was tired of the lessons. Corby Scherb: Wesley Wesley had a better plan than us. Jim Gardner: And then I got sick of your shit. And this I've Watch this clip at least 40 times. Merrill's in the fence behind us. I roll the top on Corby. And then watch this, Kerbo. Watch how much room I Slim Pushins: He was watching the show, wasn't paying attention. Jim Gardner: gave Ker Corby down there on the other end. I gave Corby like two lanes. Roll in the top. Corby Scherb: Here we go. Here we go. Slim Pushins: I all I'm watching's the infield dirt. Jim Gardner: Roll in the top. And then the yellow comes out. I think it is actually a red. And Slim Pushins: Jeb said Happy Dads is coming out with lim hard lemonade, Jim. Jim Gardner: Yeah, not till February I saw. But so anyway Slim Pushins: Really? Y'all are on the mailing list? Jim Gardner: anyway, Corby, what what how'd that feel? I I've contemplated giving you the finger as I rolled the top on you, but that might be top five favorite moment of my life. Corby Scherb: That was it was it was at that point that that Kerbo and Mike came out on the racetrack and I told that we're we're F man. Like we're we're done. Like there's no w unless rubber comes in, like we might as well just put it in the trailer. We're a big trouble. We're in big trouble. Jim Gardner: The fifty one's rolling the top on me, we're in trouble. Yeah. But did did you see how much room I gave you down there in turn one after I passed you? Corby Scherb: No, I d I don't think you gave me room. I think that in your head right then you felt like the top was better. So you felt like the top was better right then? Yeah, Jim Gardner: I give you ch a piss load of room. Look how much room I give you. Slim Pushins: Did you give it to him or were you just driving? Corby Scherb: hit the the top was better right there. and then I I mean I'm sure that Jim Gardner: Look how w look watch this, Kerbo. It it gets out of frame because my mom's not a professional videographer, but let's watch this again. First of all, Merrell's in the fence. Well how much more room do you need? You're four lanes off the bottom Corby Scherb: See so go ahead. See, you you're talking about give me all this room. Pause right here. How much room did you give me right here? How d I mean you're not giving me any room. You're not giving me any room. You're racing me hard. You're racing me hard. Slim Pushins: Corby, you came up on him too. Corby Scherb: You're you're you're racing me hard. Slim Pushins: Wha Corby, you c watch watch you come up on did you know you were coming Jim Gardner: First of all Yeah yeah Slim Pushins: up on him? Or did you just go in too hard? Corby Scherb: Yeah, I was trying to run the slider line right here. I the car hooked up a little bit right there in the middle and I'm like, Okay, the middle line works. Jimmy rips around the top and I'm like, We're okay. It's Jim Gardner: Yeah. All right, I'm gonna freeze frame it down here. Look look where I'm running down there in turn one and two. Corby Scherb: You're running the top though, that doesn't count. You're running the top, not the bottom. Jim Gardner: No, I've been rolling the bottom. Look at where I'm at, giving you all this room. And I only say that to bring this up. Corby Scherb: Alright, keep going keep going then Alright. Yeah, bring this one up. Go ahead. Jim Gardner: Here we go. So here's a restart. Here's the restart after Corby Scherb: Yeah. Jim Gardner: the red. Corby Scherb: Carson was so good on starts, man. He caught me with my pants down almost every time. Right? And I I Jim Gardner: I I know we've Corby Scherb: roll in here in the middle and I'm like, okay, man, like the middle's not bad. Rip around the outside of Jimmy, just the same as he does. And right there. Jim Gardner: Yeah, I chirped it sideways. Yeah, and then boom, chopped the shit out Slim Pushins: Close the door. Jim Gardner: of me for the second time. Can't hold the bottom. Luckily my stuff launches. Corby Scherb: No, it actually did And then roll back up the inside of you and I'm like, okay, right there in the middle. Okay, it's gonna work. We're okay. Run the exact same line right there. Yep. Jim Gardner: And then I about spin it out. No. All right. And then f I the gloves are off. Now I'll chop the shit out of you. Corby Scherb: You d but that that's that's the thing. That's what racing around a track like this is. And then what happened? Jim Gardner: And then I went in and dorked it. Yeah. Boom. Slim Pushins: Hold on. We gotta talk about that. Corby Scherb: Okay, so hold on. So hold on. So listen, listen to me before we get into that that conversation. So it it play it again. That's my line. That's my move me out of the Jim Gardner: Look, we'll just play it again. And we're gonna play it again. It's not your lie. Corby Scherb: way. I'm not saying crash me, but move me out of the way. 'Cause because we can watch later whenever Hannah chops off to the bottom when he was starting on the outside. Jim Gardner: First of all first of all, you're restarting w you're restarting on the outside. And then sure Corby Scherb: Correct. Jim Gardner: enough, boom, you're down on the tires. Chopping the shit out of me after I just gave you three lanes down there. Luckily you can't hold your wad. Yeah, Corby Scherb: A hundred percent. That's my line. That's my line. That's my line. Move me out of the way. Slim Pushins: Well he was past you, wasn't he? Jim Gardner: I didn't need to. And then I just went Corby Scherb: I can't hold my wad, at I'd back her into the fence, bud. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Right. And now now I'm the gloves are off and I'm just chopping you. Go Corby Scherb: So you chop me off and that's fine, that's fine, that's fine, that's okay. And I got another good run 'cause now I know that the middle's gonna work through three and four and we're okay. Roll in the middle and I was like, damn, I didn't Jim Gardner: Yeah. And then I just Corby Scherb: see Jimmy anymore. I hope I didn't like push him high or anything. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Slim Pushins: Look at look at Jason Tyre. I see two guys about to junk their cars racing for ninth. Jim Gardner: Look, we were having a dick measuring contest of epic proportions back there in the dog pound. Slim Pushins: Jason, you know as well as anybody, the place that they were fighting for didn't mean shit. Corby Scherb: So so Jim Gardner: Ha Corby Scherb: go to Jim Gardner: ha ha. Corby Scherb: your mom's last video and and hand go ahead. Slim Pushins: Hold on. I'm gonna hold on I w Jim Gardner: Hang on. Hang on. Corby Scherb: Go ahead. Slim Pushins: I wanna talk about Jim exiting stage left. Jim Gardner: Right. Slim Pushins: Replay that replay that again. Jim Gardner: No, I'm Corby Scherb: So Jim Gardner: not going to. Corby Scherb: in this in this moment we're gonna talk about something. If I don't even have to look at the text message, I remember it because it it's it's ingrained in my head. there was there was a comment made, something about like noodle Slim Pushins: This oughta be good. Corby Scherb: arms or right, like you're gonna be huffin' and puffin', right? Right? Pretty sure these noodle arms finish the race Jim Gardner: I did call you noodle arms. Corby Scherb: not in race shape Jim Gardner: I mean Corby Scherb: or Slim Pushins: Clement said we're our second nose wing Jim Gardner: Yeah. Slim Pushins: for the night also. Corby Scherb: We c we smashed it in a trailer before we ever unloaded. Jim Gardner: Yeah. He rolled that thing out of the trailer. Yeah. He rolled that thing out of the trailer and there was Corby Scherb: I was like this. Now we're in business. Slim Pushins: Look like it looked like Corby had already run it for a race. Jim Gardner: yeah, no I Corby Scherb: but th there was some there was a comment about noodle arms and I'm not in race shape or you know, there there was there was Jim Gardner: Well, I think that's why you didn't tighten it up enough. You were worried that your arms couldn't handle having too much grip. I wasn't gonna be Corby Scherb: mm. But Jim Gardner: worn out at all because I wasn't making any G forces in the corner. I was still on top of the racetrack, but no, I just made a made a mistake getting there into three. Slim Pushins: All right. I want to talk about that. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Slim Pushins: What can you replay it so that we can talk about it? Just That part. Jim Gardner: No. God damn it. Fine. Slim Pushins: Let's see it. Corby Scherb: I mean you want me to give you my play by play of what happened or you Slim Pushins: Go for it, Corby. Corby Scherb: roll in right here on the top and you flick Jim Gardner: What do you think happened? Corby Scherb: it waist sideways and then it hooks up and you gotta turn back left and you're cooked at that point. There's nothing you can do, especially with Grayson with how much it crowns. Jim Gardner: I gotta t I'm gonna tell you one thing. There was no Slim Pushins: So here's Jim Gardner: there was no hooking up. It was starting a rubber. Corby Scherb: Play it again. Watch the car turn back to the right. Play it again. Play it again. Jim Gardner: It's because I was standing on the gas, trying to keep it out of the fence. Corby Scherb: Play again. Play it again. You turn sideways. It hooks up. You gotta turn sideways again. You gotta make two movements. You never, Jim Gardner: This is the last time I'm playing this. Then I'm burning the tapes. Corby Scherb: ever, ever make two movements. Watch. Watch. You're gonna roll in here. You're gonna turn sideways. You're gonna turn right. You gotta turn left again. You're cooked. Watch. Bink. Right there. That's it. Just a tiny, tiny, Slim Pushins: Yeah, you did turn right. You tried to catch it. Corby Scherb: tiny bit. And that's it. That's a wrap. Jim Gardner: Well, all right. Slim Pushins: All right, so here's here's my question, Jim. And you everybody knows I'm I've never driven a race car. Jim Gardner: All right, let me delete this out of here. we're not watching that shit Corby Scherb: Delete this, I'm done with it. Jim Gardner: again. Slim Pushins: Why what what happened in the car? What was going on in the moment? Why did you climb the wall twice at a half mile an hour? At the very end of that. Jim Gardner: So The I made a mistake. I I was trying to roll the top. So in the in that first in that first clip, before that red came out, I rolled the top on Corby and then I had a really good run on Josh and the yellow came out. And I my game plan was to continue rolling the top and trying to sneak by a couple people, kind of the way Braxton did. And just kind of running it harder and harder. And I just missed it. And the way that place was, it it was kind of taken rubber, had grip, whatever you want to call it, or cleaned off, but right off the groove, it was sandy, you know, there's no grip. Period. It's it's just marbly and you're in deep trouble. the other issue I'm having, and I've had all year, and I think I've figured it out, is and this isn't an excuse, it was lack of talent that plugged me in the fence Saturday night. It wasn't anything else. this is just a PSA for it for all of our people watching. Don't run seven eighths master cylinders. and in a totally unrelated note, I've got some master cylinders for sale. But take the master take the seven eighths master cylinders out of your cars if you have them. they have killed all my brake feel. Like we had brake issues at the Kennedale to start the year, and in a haste I just took all the shit that was in the car out of the car and swapped it with other stuff that I had, and all I had was a seven eighths master cylinder instead of the standard one inch. And my brakes are incredible. except there's no like modulation to them. Like you either have no brakes or you have all the brakes you've ever wanted in your whole life. There's no 10% brake, 20%, 20% break. and so when I kind of got it up in the fluff, I stood on the brakes and it just I think it locked the rear tires up and just spun me out. and there was just no saving it. And after it turned sideways, Slim Pushins: So you were you were Jim Gardner: I'd gassed it back up trying to get it out of the you know, trying not to hit it too hard. and then it hit and kinda pulled to the right, and then I had to get back on the brakes and and kinda ran up the racetrack and and couldn't get it off. So Slim Pushins: So you were just you were as far as the brakes are concerned, you were just out of sorts? 'Cause it climbed the wall weird. It climbed Jim Gardner: A little bit. Yeah. Slim Pushins: the wall like somebody that was knocked out, but clearly like you weren't you know what I mean? Do you s you know what I'm saying? Jim Gardner: Well, you can't knock yourself out when you c crash going twenty eight miles an hour, but now like Slim Pushins: Well, it just had a weird feel to it. Jim Gardner: well I I d like I I don't know if I locked the motor up and then gassed it up or it stalled or or whatever. I I don't I I was dog cussing myself in there, so I don't even really know what happened, but it kinda sucked the right front up and then it kinda caught the wheel and Corby Scherb: Corby beat me again. Jim Gardner: yeah, that's all I was pissed about. And then it kind of rolled up on there. And then I was concerned, you know, we didn't hit very hard. And really it only damaged the rear rear bumper, but it kind of did roll up on the fence in a weird way. And it actually unscrewed my right front shock and dumped all the oil out. Slim Pushins: Really? Jim Gardner: yeah. So I was concerned that we probably had front set front suspension damage, and I was just pissed. And we could have finished the race, but there's no point to it being back. Corby Scherb: He wasn't gonna pass Corby again. Jim Gardner: Going back in the dog pound. I the only you know thought I had about getting back in the race was to go past Corby for a third time. but decided against it. Just, you know, get my pity money and get out of there. you know, so but anyway, i it it's Slim Pushins: Dylan? Jim Gardner: just it's it's been how it's gone all year. Just had really fast stuff and and pissed it away and and made made dumbass mistakes behind the wheel. and I'm not gonna sit here and Slim Pushins: During Jim Gardner: Blame the brakes, but th throw your seven eight shit out out in the trash tonight. Slim Pushins: During that red flag, were you already mad? 'Cause I was talking smack behind y'all and you d I got nothing out of you. Jim Gardner: I locked in, man. Corby Scherb: He wouldn't even he wouldn't even talk to me and I po I pulled up next to him. All Slim Pushins: Yeah, Corby said he tried to talk to you. Corby Scherb: I want Jim Gardner: Well Corby Scherb: is someone to talk to. Kerbo, I don't even want to hear it because I didn't get not Jim Gardner: You part Corby Scherb: a one head motion, not a not a nothin' from you. All I want is someone to say something to me. Slim Pushins: Corby's mad 'cause I didn't give him any signs. Jim Gardner: You p Yeah. I was kinda I I ain't a big talker. Slim Pushins: I was too busy. He's I told him, I said, Corby, I was blinded by the light. He I saw you down there bullshitting with Mike. You weren't even paying attention. Jim Gardner: Ha ha. Yeah. But anyway, Slim Pushins: Mr unapproachable. Can't bullshit Jim Gardner: Y Slim Pushins: with him. Jim Gardner: Yeah. I was locked in, man. Corby Scherb: Man, racing's tough, you know, and it was cool to have elbows up. you know, you say that you I chopped you off. Casey Merrell said it. I know Charlie Harman said it. And and you know, you know, so so watch so Hannah does that. John bumps me. So John John tries to push up the inside of me. Yep. So Hannah's going to the bottom. Slim Pushins: Yeah. Jim Gardner: Well speaking of let's come back so this is after my so this is on the restart this is on the restart hand Corby Scherb: John John tries to bump me. Here I'm gonna walk you through it. I it's my li it's his line, it's my job to push him out of the way. So I pull up next to him, he bumps me. And he continues to turn left to make sure that I was done. Lost two spots. Hannah, I'm sorry, I was pissed off about that. It was it was super rough, slick track racing, but he did what he had to do. Slim Pushins: Play that back, Jim. Corby Scherb: He did exactly what he had to do. Look, it's his line. He Yep. Jim Gardner: Let's go all let's go all the way back. Well, first of all, I don't know how Hannon Braxton Slim Pushins: He g I didn't know he got into I didn't he almost Corby Scherb: yeah. Slim Pushins: he almost ended his night with Braxton. Corby Scherb: Same. John Jim Gardner: Yeah. Corby Scherb: tried to push his way in there, so it's my job. I'm trying to move him out of the way and I slip a little bit off the bottom and I shouldn't have. And then Josh yeah, I I felt like he kinda hung a left on me. I kinda felt like he hung a left Jim Gardner: man, just wearing him out on the left side. Geez. Corby Scherb: on me. And Slim Pushins: Then Corby spent the rest of the race trying to catch him. Corby Scherb: Yeah, man, this is good for Josh, man. He he had a really good race and and he did it, you know, he did with elbows up and it's not easy. I know Casey Merrell said that I chopped him off. That's what I'm saying. You don't don't crash me, but it's my line at that point. You have to move me. Jim Gardner: So I'm out of the race. Corby Scherb: Jason Tyres Slim Pushins: Jason Tyres said, I never knew I never knew Corby Scherb: here. Come on, Jason. Come on, Jason. Slim Pushins: racetracks had assigned lines, Corby. It's racing. Corby Scherb: Come on. Yeah. Jason, how many times Jason I Jim Gardner: Corby was running like the entire track was his. Corby Scherb: now Jason I I remember a an indoor at Purcell where someone and you crashed like fifteen times before we ever got one green flag lap and it's 'cause it's the same thing. Jim Gardner: There's you moving Casey Merrell out of the way. Corby Scherb: I didn't move Casey Merrell out of the way. He even told his dad that we never touched each other. Jim Gardner: A big kabloooe from well, probably 'cause he got out of it. I'm telling you. Slim Pushins: Braxton did almost hit the wall. Replay that last part. Jim Gardner: I'm telling you, man. Corby Scherb: Yeah, well, Braxton was close. Jim Gardner: yeah, here's Corby moving Casey out of the way again. Corby Scherb: Same, so I didn't move Casey. It's I it's Slim Pushins: We'll just watch this again. Corby Scherb: it's elbows up racing. Slim Pushins: Look at Braxes. Jim Gardner: Yeah, I'll bet I'll bet Braxton's car was a handful with all that oil down. Corby Scherb: I I would not have gotten trouble from Slim Pushins: Braxton comes out of the smoke like driver intros. Corby Scherb: Danny Merrell because Danny asked Jim Gardner: Yeah. Corby Scherb: Casey, Casey came and told me, Did Corby touch you? And Casey goes, No, man, it was just hard racing. See, there's Jason Jim Gardner: Casey is being defensive, man. Corby Scherb: with damn Ray Ray. Y'all have no idea Slim Pushins: Okay. Corby Scherb: that story. No clue. Slim Pushins: Casey's on. All I'm saying is I was scared. Jim Gardner: Casey came up to me. He's like, I gotta go talk to Corby. Corby was all over the place. I was like, Yeah, I know. That's why I didn't restart the race. Get this is the only other clip I have. So luckily they go single file here so Corby doesn't bang into any more people on the restart. And I I never could find the video of you get getting crossed up in front of Casey. Corby Scherb: No, that's what he was talking about right there, where me and him got side by side. Jim Gardner: where you shoved him out of the way. You had the elbows out. Corby Scherb: And like right here, man, like he has a drive up the inside of me and it's the same, man. Like it it's my line. You gotta move me. You gotta move me. That's not d Jim Gardner: Then you chop the shit out of again, man. You got watched it. Corby Scherb: what what are you supposed to are we on the highway? You're supposed to just move out of the way? Here's the deal. Here's the deal. Go ahead. Show my Jim Gardner: Golly, man. Chop Suey. Corby Scherb: face right now. Show my face right now. Here we go. Here we go. You ready? You ready? Slim Pushins: Kill my face! Corby Scherb: I used to get livid at Chad Wilson. Livid at Chad Wilson. Telling h telling him that he was chopping me off, he was pushing me into the wall, blah, blah, blah. And Chad Wilson told me something. He said, One day you'll get tired of that. And one day you'll get tired of it. And then you it's it's my line. You have to move me. The same as Casey came down on me and I was up the inside, same as I did it to Hannah, and Hannah made sure that I didn't couldn't get by him. Go ahead, show it. Jim Gardner: Suzanne's right. My mom Debbie Herbert Corby Scherb: Six, I suck. I don't know how to race. Jim Gardner: Debbie Herbert Gardner on Facebook if you she goes live for all my Slim Pushins: Want the commentary? Jim Gardner: f for both of my fans. So Slim Pushins: For her baby boy. Jim Gardner: That's right. And so these are the last kind of clips I had. Corby Scherb: John was trying to get around Hannah and Jim Gardner: The rubber starts coming in, you could start really seeing it. Corby Scherb: Like I For sure. Jim Gardner: 'cause Braxton's still trying to make the top work and it's gone away 'cause it's rubber all over the racetrack and and then these three guys pile back into each other and then I stopped recording, off my mom's page. But anyway, I figured that would be fun since we were both in that race and kinda duking it out and you were chopping the piss out of me for Corby Scherb: We're at past quarter VM. Jim Gardner: for the first six laps that that would Corby Scherb: Here we go, Casey. Jim Gardner: do some live commentary. So I'm not running this weekend. I've got stuff to repair. I don't know. I might be done for the year. I might I got s I got some stuff to repair and and my my motors you know at a maintenance cycle, the drive line's at a maintenance cycle. I got a lot of work to do. like maybe and I got it I gotta get my midget rolling. hopefully go shake it down before Chili Bowl So that might have been my r last race. Maybe I'll run the the gobbler green Greenville in around Thanksgiving. But Corby, you when are you running again? Corby Scherb: not this weekend in Kennedale. maybe next weekend in RPM. Me and Mike talked about that one. for sure the Boyd race as of right now and the gobbler if we can make it happen, it's it's tough being Thanksgiving weekend and with the weather and everything. And I don't know if anyone on this podcast Jim Gardner: Yeah, it if it's gonna be Corby Scherb: knows, but if it's below sixty I'd just rather stay home. Jim Gardner: Yeah, if it's forty two degrees, I'm not running Slim Pushins: I'm so tired of hearing about that. Jim Gardner: the gobbler, but i if we get one of those Corby Scherb: It was beautiful this y'all are talking about it being hot and dry Saturday was gorgeous. Loved it. Summer over winter. Summer over winter. Any Jim Gardner: No, I it was fine. But Corby Scherb: day. Noodle arms survive the feature. Don't worry, Jim. Slim Pushins: Corby, are you gonna have your fan club out there at RPM? Corby Scherb: I don't I'm I don't I don't know what that means. What that you're talking about when we was going out to watch Jimmy's heat race and people were yelling? Slim Pushins: Yeah, that's exactly what I'm talking about. People whistling and stuff. Yelling your name. Corby Scherb: man, we've been in the we've been in the game for a long time. Jeffrey Harter was actually there. I grew up racing amateur stuff with him. he was out of Princeton. I think they live up towards Sherman nowadays. But yeah, I've known Jeffrey my whole life and they were up there and they commented on something or s or he sent me a message s saying that he was there. So it was cool, man. and then I had a cousin, I I believe that he would be a third cousin, walk up to me. He says he drives a tow truck there. And I didn't put it all together until then Aunt Janet posted the the picture of us and I'm like, sh I know who it is. so it's cool man, James Crompton, it was good to see you. it's it's nice sometimes just being Jim Gardner where you're quiet and you didn't grow up in the same state your whole life and everywhere you go. Slim Pushins: Is he did he just say it's nice not being recognized sometimes? Corby Scherb: Sometimes. Jim Gardner: When is this Corby Scherb: It was cool, man. It was it was it was really cool and I'm gonna say this again. Like Mike Clement, thank you so much. Casey Burton, dude, like you are a hero. You went and put decals on the car to make sure that I had numbers. Russell Shoulders was the first phone call that I made Sunday morning. of course I still picked on Jimmy the whole night and Wesley McNorton was there. The Uyghurs were there, th they were happy that I got to climb back in a car and Robert Vetter was there. It was just it man, it was cool to to climb back in a car and have some confidence. it was fun, man. It was it was beautiful to wake up Sunday morning with the old bruises on your collarbone from the straps. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Corby Scherb: it's been a while and like I said it Grayson w was a was a perfect place for that. It's kinda a little bit more lax, it's a it's a short track. I I was I was happy with the the first little outing and I can blame only myself for not going tight enough and we can make a hundred excuses or Jimmy just move me out of the way next time. Jim Gardner: I'll just roll the top on you again. It was top five racing moment of my life. I should Corby Scherb: Hey dude, you had you had one shot at it and you made it work that time, so I'll give it to you. Jim Gardner: I was just happy I cleared ya since Slim Pushins: So Carson Bolden Jim Gardner: you had to use the whole racetrack on me. Slim Pushins: Bolden pulp pulls out the win in Corby Scherb: Super cool to see. Slim Pushins: Great fashion. We after the race, Jim swallowed his pr Jim didn't want to talk to anybody at all. Jim Gardner: I was pissed. I I was lucky my nephew Vinny was there and he came down and he said, That's okay, Uncle Jim, at least you tried hard and then I had to put on a brave face for him. and Slim Pushins: He wouldn't talk to Corby, wouldn't talk to me. I didn't see him talk to anybody. His mother his mother laid Jim Gardner: Yeah, I I was I was sulking again. Slim Pushins: out the food buffet table. Jim Gardner: Yeah, I was sulking again and luckily Vinny came over with some words of encouragement. So you know, put some sp put Slim Pushins: But you sucked it up. You sucked it up and we went down and we congratulated Carson on his big nationals win. We doused him with some beverages. I don't think he was expecting it. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Slim Pushins: And we got him good. I got Mike Clement pretty good too. Jim Gardner: Well, you about ran him over 'cause Mike was following us in the in his side by side and you Slim Pushins: Mike said Mike said the Jim Gardner: and and you drive like Corby on your four wheeler where it's just you out there and threw it in reverse and I'm sitting there looking back at Mike about g have my legs crushed between the two ATVs. And Slim Pushins: Okay. Jim Gardner: and luckily he was on top of it and got Slim Pushins: Well, Jim Gardner: out of there. Slim Pushins: I had a plan in my head on how to spray Carson with the beverage that I had, and I was just gonna not open it, poke a hole in it, and when I poked a hole in it, it was the can was facing Mike as he pulled up next to me and just doused him. And then I hopped off the four wheeler and probably myself we got Mike again. He was just in the line of fire everywhere that he stood. Mike said the car was loose but the cat paws held up. Corby Scherb: That's all that we needed. We turned that we turned that girl eight grand in the feature, trying to trying to get back where I thought I needed to. Slim Pushins: Chasing Hannah. all right. Jim Gardner: Josh Jos Josh Hannah, I think finished third and that was a hell of a good run. He's a he he was really good. Corby Scherb: It did man and and like I said, I I watched the video back, Josh, and it's my Slim Pushins: Yeah, he he drove graves fast. Corby Scherb: bad. I I know that I showed you my displeasure on the racetrack and that that's on me, man, because I would have d I did do the same thing. So Jim Gardner: no he he had a good run. He's a he he's watches the show now that we're on YouTube because he's not a Facebook guy. And I I was really impressed with his his run there. So good job for all those guy. Corby Scherb: Look good, man. He had elbows up and he he he fought hard for every position he had and so cheers to him. Slim Pushins: Kevin Fry's afraid that Vinny's gonna take his job. Jim Gardner: Yeah, he's like I said, Vinny loves three things playing baseball with his grandpa, Uncle Jim racing Vrimbroom, and Taco Cassa. And so he he had his suit Slim Pushins: So Jim Gardner: on. It was a hundred degrees. He was rocking his suit, wouldn't take it off, slept in it. Slim Pushins: His sister was kicking dirt at him and he was just taking it. Just taking it like a ma s straight to the face. Jim Gardner: Yeah, Corby Scherb: He he was in the race, pulling tear offs, the whole deal. Jim Gardner: yeah. They had fun out there. He's been wearing me out all year. He'd like I'd like have my helmet in my truck and it'd be all dirty. He'd be like, Did you go racing without me, Uncle Jim? No. Why is it all dirty? well, you're a smart kid. I don't know. Slim Pushins: I finally got a wave out of him. He wouldn't wave at Corby. Corby had to go over and give him knuckles. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Slim Pushins: so before we get into into Corby's fantasy football update, you Jim, you told us some of the bar stool bets that they had and the one for the Texas Ohio State game was that if Texas beat O if Ohio State lost, he had to spend twenty four hours in a McDonald's. So I don't know where you get Jim Gardner: Mm-hmm. He did that yesterday. Slim Pushins: your info. Huh? He did? Jim Gardner: Yeah, he did yeah, he did it yesterday. He raised a bunch of money for ALS or something. but yeah. Knocking out Ma Big Macs. Slim Pushins: Just knocking out nugs. Jim Gardner: Yeah, he had like nine Big Macs, stayed in there for fifteen hours and they let him like go back and cook fries and stuff. they turned it into a big do good. Slim Pushins: That would be Corby's hell. Corby Scherb: That'd be awful. Awful. Jim Gardner: We could probably arrange that at a taco casa with Roy. The Gainesville Taco Casa. Hey I'm Slim Pushins: That's that's what we need to do. Corby stays at a Taco Casa for twenty four hours. Jim Gardner: I I'm trying to find when the Boyd race is. Corby Scherb: October second. Slim Pushins: Sometimes you just gotta ask, Jim. Jim Gardner: Well, Corby Scherb: October second. Jim Gardner: so are we sure? 'Cause it says at they got seven classes listed, not one of them says sprint cars. Says dirt wing Corby Scherb: And they're not I I see, I don't know that they have made it for sure. I know. I Jim Gardner: modified. Corby Scherb: yeah, they they said that they thought about adding another wing class. Would anyone like to see three fives? So I don't know. Slim Pushins: I thought it was said. Corby Scherb: No, I don't know that it's a for sure. I don't know. Jim Gardner: Like I'm looking at all their chat GPT made posters. October second's on there. It says Southern Wing Modifies. Corby Scherb: That's when it would be. That's when it would be though. Jim Gardner: And Tony Nicholas said, Do I see Sprint car Slim Pushins: Nichols. Jim Gardner: on October Nick Tony Nicholas? Do I see a Sprint car on October 2nd tab? And they said winged modifies. Well, if you get official confirmation from Boyd on that race before Corby sends a bunch of Sprint Car fans to To. Corby Scherb: here we go. Slim Pushins: To Boyd, all of his fan club wanting to know where he's at. Jim Gardner: To Wise County in October. Yeah. Everybody out there in their King of Kennedale shirts. Slim Pushins: Alright, Corby, are we taking the SAT? Suzan Suzanne Cranfield said Boyd is set for shore. Is that the date, Corby Scherb: Well, there we go. There we go. Jim Gardner: Okay. All right. There you have it. Slim Pushins: Suzanne? October second? Nope, not that one. Sorry. Jim Gardner: Ha ha. Slim Pushins: He was cute though, Vinny was cute. Jim Gardner: Yeah. All right. But yeah. Slim Pushins: Corby, how did how did fantasy football go? Were we taking the SAT? Corby Scherb: No, man, we were high point man this week. we beat we beat Jeff. We played Jeff this weekend and we beat we beat him really bad. Lamar Jim Gardner: Who who's on your team? Pull up your roster right now. Corby Scherb: Jackson, Ken Walker was a huge points getter this last weekend. Let's see here. I don't even barely Jim Gardner: What Corby Scherb: know how to work this. So it was Lamar Jackson, Christian McCaffrey. He did all right last weekend. Brees Hall. Devontae Adams, Slim Pushins: Tony Dorset. Corby Scherb: Mike Evans. I don't even know these guys.

Jim Gardner: okay. It's still Corby Scherb: okay. Slim Pushins: Jim, he didn't choose the Bengals kicker because Jim Gardner: JB. Slim Pushins: the Bengals are awesome. He ch he chose because he there's a good chance that they don't get into the end zone. Jim Gardner: They won they're w Slim Pushins: And he kicks Jim Gardner: They're one and One and baby. One and That's right. The NFL win is a win. Slim Pushins: They're on a one game winning streak. Corby Scherb: Yeah. We were a high point man. Lamar Jackson did really good. Brees Hall had some good points. But Ken Walker, man, Ken Walker made it happen. Jim Gardner: All right. Corp Corby, turn your phone off. Turn your phone off. Slim Pushins: here we go. Jim Gardner: Who does Kenneth Walker play for? Corby Scherb: The Chiefs. Jim Gardner: Nice. I was I was What city are the Chiefs in? Corby Scherb: Dude, y'all doubt me so much about about football. Kansas City. Slim Pushins: How did Jim Gardner: Two for two. You are a football guy. Corby Scherb: What other brain buster? Danielson? he Slim Pushins: Corby, how did how did Daniel do this weekend with when he drafted four kickers? Corby Scherb: beat OG this weekend. OG is a huge Cowboys fan and sadly the Cowboys, yeah, did did the Cowboys things and Daniel with his four kickers actually beat them. So he's not picked to win this weekend, though Daniel's not Danielson. Slim Pushins: There you go, Jim, I'm gonna give you that one. The Bengals have a better record than the Cowboys. Jim Gardner: That's right. Everybody jump on board. We're going to the Super Bowl to NLA again, just like the last time. Slim Pushins: I haven't been a Bengals fan since they guess since Icky Woods left the team. Jim Gardner: Nineteen ninety one. Slim Pushins: let's see. What else do I have on the old let's see, Corby back in the saddle, Jim got bucked out of the saddle. Corby recognized from the moment we got to the track, Bolden Winston. Jim Gardner: There you go, cool. Slim Pushins: Bar still pay off. Corby Scherb: Here we go, Slim Pushins: Yeah. Corby Scherb: this stupid ass song. Slim Pushins: I don't understand, Corby. Corby Scherb: It's terrible. I mean I dude I I like some old country like dude turn on some Dwight Yoakum some some guitars and Cadillacs. I can jam it. That Tulsa time is horrendous. Slim Pushins: That has become that has become the theme song. Corby Scherb: No it is not. Slim Pushins: I just knew Corby was gonna be pumped Corby Scherb: I would true Slim Pushins: up. We were he was back in the saddle. I start recording and I turn the camera to him and he's just disgusted with life. Corby Scherb: I would rather test the durability of my ceiling fan in the living room than listen to that stupid song. Jim Gardner: Okay. All right. We don't need that level of hyperbole. Slim Pushins: Alright, let's see, what else do I have? How about I have a note here that I didn't erase because we didn't get to it last week. The Outlaws canceled the race at Bellville because it was too fast. Is that is that the general consensus? Corby Scherb: It's not just too Jim Gardner: I I Corby Scherb: fast, it's Jim Gardner: I don't think it's that it's too fast. It's I think it's it doesn't have a fence around most of it. And there's n Slim Pushins: Yeah, but don't they race there every year? Why's this year different? Jim Gardner: they haven't run four tens there since twenty seventeen. Now they run the three sixties, they Corby Scherb: Man, it it's it's Slim Pushins: really? Jim Gardner: run the three fives, they ran Silver Crown. The midgets don't run there since since Brian Clausen got killed. the there have it has not been a four ten race since twenty seventeen is my understanding. And the drivers all Slim Pushins: All right. Jim Gardner: year I guess the drivers all year have been politicking against running there. and it sucks that it waited, you know, they waited till the week of to cancel that event. I I Corby Scherb: I I would imagine that they didn't have much much interest in like local guys and a lot of the world of outlaws stuff, you know, it it has Jim Gardner: That that could also be it. Yeah. Corby Scherb: to do with local people showing up. you know, even whenever they run Kennedell there there's five, six, seven, Jim Gardner: Yeah. Yeah, they're Corby Scherb: eight, nine, ten local guys that'll show up and man, Bell Belleville's tough. Yeah Jim Gardner: Or regional guys that travel with but like they ran last night in in Podunk, Colorado, and only had twenty three cars or whatever, and a Corby Scherb: Right. Jim Gardner: guy in a three sixty ran seventh. you know, so sometimes just the quality and the level of the show could could play a factor. but from my understanding, it it and and you know, they go to fast tracks. They they ran Bristol, they run Volusia, they run Corby Scherb: Well, hold on, let let's let's talk a little bit Jim Gardner: Eldora Corby Scherb: about that. Th there's a there's a difference in the drivers today compared to the drivers that ran Bristol too, you know. Did they I d Jim Gardner: No, they ran Bristol two years ago. Slim Pushins: Well it was Bristol was like f three or four years ago, wasn't it? Corby Scherb: three or four years ago, but then like whenever Bristol first started, like these dudes were mental. And Jim Gardner: Wait, first okay, they ran Bristol in two thousand. And then they ran it Corby Scherb: In two thousand Slim Pushins: Yeah, they covered it in dirt. It was part of that whole NASCAR dirt. Jim Gardner: They ran it. Corby Scherb: How many what's the difference in the car count? What's the difference in the car count from two thousand until what what was it? Was it twenty? Twenty two. Jim Gardner: But they only ran it. Corby Scherb: Twenty two. Jim Gardner: They ran it in twenty two. Corby Scherb: Yeah. Mr I'm not a football guy, but I know twenty two. Dude Slim Pushins: Weren't they doing like a hundred and forty miles an hour? Jim Gardner: Okay. How Corby Scherb: they're you're scootin' there. Jim Gardner: how how many guys have retired since twenty twenty two that are running the Outlaws? Slim Pushins: I'm with Jim on this one, Corby. Corby Scherb: Mm, probably not many. Jim Gardner: Yeah, exactly. So it's the same guys. It's not about the speed. Slim Pushins: Back to Slim. Jim Gardner: Let's see. Yeah. Like here, let me let me let's just go through look, I found it. Thursday, Corby Scherb: What's the car count? What's the difference? What's the Jim Gardner: April twenty eighth, two thousand twenty two. The winner was Spencer Baston, Kyle Larson, Logan Shuhart, Rico, David Grable, Carrie Madsen, Carson Masito, Donnie Schatz, Anthony Macri, Aaron Reitzel, Jacob Allen, Brock Zierfoss, Brad Sweet, Hoddenchild, Craig Kinzer, Bill Rose, McFadden. John Carney the second. Noah Gas, Jason Sides, Landon Myers, Brian Paulis, Jake Spoon. Yeah, a lot of those guys, Slim Pushins: Who? What was the last one? Jim Gardner: Jake Spoon. I think that car was maybe Slim Pushins: Well, I heard something else. Jim Gardner: a backup car to a Jason Sides car. I think that's a crew guy. so yeah, they didn't have a full field. Like they had some guys in backup cars just making two thousand dollars start money, but You sitting there saying twenty two, Corby Scherb: What was the car count? What was the total car count? Jim Gardner: twenty four. Corby Scherb: Okay, what was the car count whenever they ran at two thousand? Jim Gardner: Two thousand, we talked like Corby Scherb: When when when did they run it the first the first year? Slim Pushins: The y I don't know if you can compare those. I see where you're going with this, Corby, but I don't know if you can compare because it was it was a big thing the first time. Like there were a lot of people who came out of the woodworks. Corby Scherb: Jack Hottenchild Jack Hottenchild is a nut. Sammy Sammy Swendell. Kenzer. Jim Gardner: Yeah. They're still they they used Corby Scherb: Was car count whenever they ran it first? Jim Gardner: to run on the miles in four ten wing cars. They used to run the Corby Scherb: Yes, correct. Syracuse mile. Jim Gardner: Yeah, it was a different time, but they ran Bristol four years ago. Corby Scherb: They they different time. What are you talking about? They used to have I I understand that with how many cars? Twenty four. Jim Gardner: Yeah. There's less cars. Corby Scherb: They used to put saddlebags underneath the seat of Steve Kenzer's car. Okay? These dudes were mental. Mental. Running the Syracuse mile? That's the gnarliest thing I ever heard in a car. Slim Pushins: How how is a former flat track motorcycle rider talking about people being mental? Corby Scherb: No, hold on, hold on. Here we go. Yeah, here we go. We've talked to Russell Shoulders about this. So my dad raced quarter midgets with the Labonte the the Labonte brothers, right? Terry and Bobby, right? My dad had the choice to choose cars or motorcycles. He went the motorcycle route, right? So we fell into that line. We went motorcycle racing. In in the late seventies, through the eighties, into the early nineties, it was more dangerous to drive one of these sprint cars. Have you ever seen The chair that I'm sitting in has more support than what these guys had back then. When did when did roll when did horizontal Jim Gardner: In Corby Scherb: tube sprint cars come out, Jimmy? Slim Pushins: You should know this off the top of your head. Jim Gardner: Early nineties, late Corby Scherb: We're we're gonna get way Jim Gardner: eighties, early nineties. Fifty cars took Corby Scherb: deep on this. early nineties. Jim Gardner: the two thousand race at Bristol, fifty cars took time. Yeah. Okay. What is what Corby Scherb: Fifty cars. Next question. So you want to keep talking about Belleville? Jim Gardner: does that have to that was twenty six years ago. Corby Scherb: I understand that. That's what I'm saying. These guys nowadays don't run like they used to run. They're they're not the same breed. Jim Gardner: Yeah, I agree with that. I I mean they only run midgets on go-kart tracks now. They used to run midgets at the Springfield mile too, like and they they also killed a lot of people. Yeah. Corby Scherb: Okay. That's it. Yeah, correct. I agree. What with that was a big flip that was a big flip in turn three. Jim Gardner: But to to say to I Slim Pushins: Wait, so who won that argument? Jim, did you win it or did Noodle Arms win it? Jim Gardner: to say that the the outlaws, the guys that run that ran Bristol four years ago are afraid to run Bellville now is cra yeah. Corby Scherb: Not those guys. It's it's like I just said, it's it's the the locals that need to come in that were Jim Gardner: Yeah, it's all the locals. Yeah, it's all the Yeah. Corby Scherb: the the guys from, you know, Illinois that'll drive down there and run, you know. That's what I'm saying. I Jim Gardner: Okay. Well that's the first time you implied that. Corby Scherb: I'm talking about the the other guys, the participation. Slim Pushins: Well, we know he's not good at explaining Jim Gardner: So Slim Pushins: things. Jim Gardner: yeah, maybe the show wasn't worth it in the Outlaw's mind, and it may be cool maybe they should have had a little bit more foresight. But anyway, that's that. Corby Scherb: Different breed. It's it's safer in a sprint car. It's it's way safer. Jim Gardner: It's different. Racing's different than it used to be. Slim Pushins: Tony Nichol Decoy. Corby Scherb: The coin's cool man. The coin's really cool. I don't know about driving in a USAC car but Slim Pushins: Jim, play that trailer park race that Tony sent you. The the GoPro from the truck. Look at this. Jim Gardner: Yeah, so we this is this is the video from this is the same King they called it King of the Hill, which there's no hill, which I don't understand. but this is the same one that we watched last week from the Northeast, and Tony's Slim Pushins: With the van? Jim Gardner: a big Northeast racing guy. Yeah. But the cool part about this one was the GoPro footage on the back of the truck. So I decided to keep playing it again because this is a great perspective and a great shot. And I mean this guy in this yellow I think should have been declared the winner there. And then doing a pirouette and staying on the trailer. Slim Pushins: It was a hell of a move. Jim Gardner: Yeah. And then backing it in the fence. That didn't tickle. Slim Pushins: That trailer's never gonna be the same. Jim Gardner: That guy driving that truck drives a lot like Corby did last Saturday. He's just zigzagging all over the racetrack. Corby Scherb: Here we go. Here we go. Jim Gardner: There's Corby and Josh Hannah on the back stretch. Slim Pushins: Just T bone. All right, here comes the old triple seven. Look at that. Just straw. Jim Gardner: This is a great shot. Corby Scherb: Bickle ride. Slim Pushins: Damn it. How many times did he roll? one? Two? Three. Corby Scherb: Full three. Jim Gardner: Man, my my favorite is this guy in this plaid shirt. You'll see him pop up at the bottom center of the screen. He's just digging it. Look at his Slim Pushins: That guy? Just grillin'. Jim Gardner: Anyway, thanks Tony for s Slim Pushins: This girl, do you see that? Jim Gardner: yeah, thanks Tony for sending me that. if you have videos that catch your eye that have to do with motorsports or anything wild ass like like these, send them our way. Yeah. Slim Pushins: Anything to laugh about and talk about, send it to Jim. Send it to Jim s on Facebook so that he won't put on the podcast. Jim Gardner: Yeah. kind of last thing I got. This is coming up this weekend in Owasso, Owasso, Slim Pushins: There you go. Jim Gardner: Michigan. they built these custom rigs. The top car only can steer, the bottom car can only operate the gas and the brake. The stacker car race. Corby Scherb: Be gnarly. Slim Pushins: Corby, me and you are partners. Which one are you? Corby Scherb: You're on top. Slim Pushins: With the steering wheel. Jim Gardner: Mm-hmm. Corby Scherb: Hundred percent I I I wanna feel a little left front weight. Jim Gardner: I want to I want to talk to the engineers who have Slim Pushins: I feel like it'd be way top heavy, Corby. Corby Scherb: That's great. And if we're gonna put it on Jim Gardner: Who have Corby Scherb: the floor, we're gonna let off whenever we see God or Jim Gardner: Yeah. Corby Scherb: we see Jesus. That's the only reason. Slim Pushins: Corby, with that much Jim Gardner: So I Slim Pushins: top weight, we'd be on our side second corner. Corby Scherb: I hope so. Jim Gardner: So it's a it's a engineering feat here to to get these cars up and but those are also kind of nice junkyard cars. Like how much money are they spending on this event? Slim Pushins: I wonder if that's AI an AI picture. Jim Gardner: No, that's event s September nineteenth. I pulled this right from their promo. They're supposed to be running it No, that's Slim Pushins: Do we have any video? Dude, there's like 30 cars. Jim Gardner: that's coming up this Saturday. Slim Pushins: All right, anybody I want to put this out there, anybody that finds a video of the old double decker race, we want to see it. Cause you're right, that's those Jim Gardner: From Owaso Speedway in Michigan. Slim Pushins: are nice cars. Those are mid two thousands Ford fusions and Ford Jim Gardner: Yeah. Slim Pushins: edges and stuff. Jim Gardner: Yeah. The Cannelac minivans. Slim Pushins: Corby, I want the gas and the brake. Corby Scherb: You want me on the steering wheel? We're going straight. Slim Pushins: Yeah. I Jim Gardner: After watching last week. Slim Pushins: was gonna watch it last week. We're going straight. Jim Gardner: Corby went anyway but straight last week. Anyway, Corby Scherb: Jeb's in it. Jeb's in it right now. Jim Gardner: all right let's Slim Pushins: Fun fact, two seaters at Dallas carting complex can be one person drives and the other controls the pedals. Corby Scherb: Yep, Jim Gardner: Okay. Corby Scherb: yep, we're gonna go run this race. We're gonna do this. We're gonna get a bunch of sprint car guys together and we're gonna go do this. And whoever is running the pedals cannot see. Gotta have a dark shield on. Jim Gardner: Ha ha Corby Scherb: So the driver Slim Pushins: Wow. Corby Scherb: has to talk to you. Jim Gardner: Bolton Bolton was making Slim Pushins: Now that would be a good that would be the push and the cushion doubles race. Corby Scherb: yeah. I'm with Bolton. Bolton Jim Gardner: Bolden was making big claims about how he's unbeatable at the Dallas Cardin complex. Corby Scherb: I know, I'm with Bolden. I pick Bolden right now. Carson, if you're listening or Kara or Brian, I'm with you. I try to cut some Slim Pushins: No. Corby Scherb: weight so we'll be better off. Slim Pushins: No, absolutely not. You two are gonna be partners. Corby Scherb: me and Jim? Jim Gardner: Absolutely not. Slim Pushins: Yes. Corby Scherb: I'm running the pedals in. We're just gonna hold it on the floor. We're gonna hold it on Slim Pushins: That's why. That right there is why you two are partners. Jim Gardner: Absolutely not. I Corby Scherb: the floor. Jim Gardner: I'm glad that jackass and that factory stock parked in between us on on Saturday to give us some space. Then he just Slim Pushins: Debbie said, I want to see you and Savannah do this. I'm assuming she's talking about Jeb. Jim Gardner: yeah, that that Corby Scherb: I I Jim Gardner: before I could get a spot saved for you, that guy in a factory stock just parked right in between us. And then after after the heat races he was gone, probably because he was sick of us yelling at each other from across the way. Slim Pushins: Jeb said wouldn't matter if I was on the pedals, I'd never lift regardless in those Corby Scherb: Hundred percent. Let's go. Jim Gardner: I was at the driver's meeting that Corby wasn't at. Slim Pushins: That would end a marriage immediately. Corby Scherb: We could do we could do it's gotta be it's gotta be a male and a female in a car and whoever's on the pedals can't see. Or at least a dark shield at minimum. Jim Gardner: Ooh. Me and my wife? Corby Scherb: Yeah. We gotta do this. This'll be huge. Jim Gardner: All right. Slim Pushins: You're never ever gonna get her to do that, Jim. I know you're listening, Chelsea. Jim Gardner: I was at the I was at the driver's meeting that Corby wasn't at and I was standing next to Harmon. Corby Scherb: Was I supposed to go? I know most of the drivers that were there though. Jim Gardner: I was standing next to Harman Slim Pushins: He doesn't need to meet him. Jim Gardner: and he pulls out his phone and pulls out the heat race lineup and goes, hits me in the elbow. He's like, Don't go all Jeb Sesams on me. Corby Scherb: Hey, you know what? Jeb's on here right now listening and we talked about this on the first podcast we had and you're talking about me chopping you off. If I remember right, there was a race at Boyd that me and Jeb talked about and Jeb saw me stick my nose in there and Jeb chopped me off. It isn't it Jeb will agree with me. You gotta move me. Jim Gardner: I'm I was thankful I had a small master cylinder in my Slim Pushins: Hannah figured it out. Jim Gardner: car Corby Scherb: Hundred percent. Jim Gardner: to stand on the brakes to stop from plowing you the three times you chop me. Corby Scherb: Come on. Jim Gardner: Lock the motor up. Corby Scherb: Casey Slim Pushins: Is that what is that what you were thinking about when you were climbing the wall, Jim? Corby Scherb: Casey move me. Hannah move me. Come on, Briggs, be so smart. Use this Jim Gardner: Yeah. Corby Scherb: time. Jim Gardner: Anyway, yeah, I had good and heated up. I had Corby Scherb: Jeb's laughing, Jeb knows, Jeb remembers. Jim Gardner: I had good and heated up since Corby f turning left on me all freaking night. Anyway. let's talk Slim Pushins: I guess hey, I guess now's a good time going in getting closer to the off season and Jeb being on. We're gonna have Jeb on again. Jim, you can bow out of that episode if you'd like to so Jim Gardner: Yeah. Slim Pushins: you don't have to be a part of any conspiracy Jim Gardner: I think I'm busy that day. Slim Pushins: It's gonna be the best one. Jim Gardner: Let's talk about Kennedale Saturday. Corby Scherb: Kennedyale, man, it's big money. I know Jeb's gonna be there. I'm sure Wilson, Ricketts, Marcus, Slim Pushins: Is Jeb gonna be there? I assumed he was. Corby Scherb: Bolden, all the fast guys around here. Jim Gardner: Did I see where it's paying two grand a window? Corby Scherb: It's paying two grand, man. that that that's good money. Slim Pushins: Yeah, my notes said like seventeen fifty. I guess somebody threw in made it an even two. Jim Gardner: I think it got pumped up. let me pull Corby Scherb: Yeah. It'd be huge, man. It'll be a big deal for Kennedill this weekend. Last points night. Slim Pushins: Drivers, don't forget Oshra call a time, neither of you chose to see anything in the turn four KSP. Gave Jim a heart attack. Jim was sitting next to Savannah that time. That was Jim's l worst nightmare. Corby Scherb: So my worst nightmare. Jim Gardner: yeah. When you two you two morons banged into each other. Corby Scherb: man. That's the good th that that's Jim Gardner: bunch of jerks. Slim Pushins: Both of them just smiling like hell. Corby Scherb: that's like I told Casey Merrell, man, I love racing with people I can trust and and and be able to be aggressive and not get junked. there's there's quite a few people out there that I wouldn't do the same thing to and it's cool, it's fun. Slim Pushins: Alright, Jeb's officially in for KSP. He'll be there signing cups with his car on it. Corby Scherb: Jeb Jebby'll be there probably, you know, doing Jim Gardner: Ha ha ha. Corby Scherb: doing the goofy line in turn one again with that compression adjustable right rear shock that is a cheater shock, I think. Slim Pushins: Well Jeb's Jeb's arms are long enough. He he Corby Scherb: For sure. Slim Pushins: just reach he just reached all four corners and adjust shocks. Mid green flag. Corby Scherb: That's like Kevin Raimi. Kevin Kevin can do the same thing. Kevin can adjust his shocks on the fly. Jim Gardner: Kevin had that car that had that factory stock spring perch on the left rear shock to where he could adjust Corby Scherb: Yeah. Jim Gardner: his bump gap from the car. He's flexible. He's a Corby Scherb: For sure. Jim Gardner: big burly man, but he's he's flexible and limber. there we pulled this up.

I'm out, Jimmy's out. yeah, I maybe even some of the boys from down south. I know that you Harris brothers listen to us every now and then. Maybe y'all come up, Channing, Thomas Johnson, I don't know if any of guys are coming up, but the Harris brothers are fast there too. Jim Gardner: I'm hoping I'm hoping we get thirty Yeah, I'm hoping we get thirty thirty five cars there for that amount of money late in the season. It's getting to be Corby Scherb: For sure. Harmon, Landon Thompson, I mean John Ricketts, Jim Gardner: Yeah, you can't forget about landin' landins. Corby Scherb: you know, like th there's the the field's so deep around here that you you can't leave out anyone. Devin Diebrick has won one, he needs to back it up. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Yeah. So Slim Pushins: Landon opted not to race Grayson County. He went hunting. Corby Scherb: yeah, there's a lot of fast guys around here. I I maybe even Zimmerman Jim Gardner: Well Yeah, I'm I'm hoping it's a good show. Corby Scherb: shows up for that race. Who knows? Jim Gardner: Yeah. Speaking of Zebberman and and his team, the the De Bricks, tough break for Devin in that heat race of yours. It looked like he posted a video. Slim Pushins: You see his N car? Jim Gardner: It looked like yeah, it it he they said Corby Scherb: Looked like a steering gear locked up. Jim Gardner: yeah, and but then Slim Pushins: He bobbed and the car weaved. Jim Gardner: and and Corby Scherb: I went up to him after after the heat race and I asked him if he was all right and that's I I told him I was like something broke. Whether a tether got hung or steering rod fell off or something broke because it bounced through the same hole that he was doing every lap and I kinda felt like I might have had a run up the inside and it I mean just darted right. Jim Gardner: Yeah, and tattooed the fence Slim Pushins: He hit hard too. Jim Gardner: and he was in street clothes walking around and I was like, What the hell happened to you? And I I walked over their car, the motor was shoved forward four inches. It pulled the nuts th of the motor plate bolts out. And sure enough, sure enough, I went to do power rankings and he finished better than I did in the main event. I was like, how how'd that happen? the I Who knows that Danny got it put back together for that main event. 'cause it was tore up and and I guess did they put a new box in it? Or just run it and kind of putt-putt around. Corby Scherb: Lance Christie's gonna be there. I'm not sure. I don't know, some something something seized up in the front end, whether it was a spindle got hung. He Slim Pushins: thought he said it was a steering something or other. Corby Scherb: he he thought it was a steering gear 'cause he found some remnants in the floorboard. but it definitely hung a ride. Danny's saying Danny's saying sh Jim Gardner: Yeah. Zimmer Corby Scherb: so that means that that Devin's hands were turned to the left and I guess he got like his hands crossed up, maybe. Is that what you're trying to say, Danny? And it looked like he was turning to the left but he was actually turning to the right. Jim Gardner: Debbie said Slim Pushins: You read a you read a lot into just a couple of shushes. Jim Gardner: Yeah. I forgot the hocket is this weekend, so Zimmerman is taking his non winger up to Missouri. Corby Scherb: Cade Slim Pushins: Devin will be at KSP. Corby Scherb: McCrew will be there? Jim Gardner: I think I saw yeah, I think I saw Slim Pushins: Rebuilding the new car. New steering box. New steering box seized up. There it is. Jim Gardner: That's scary. Slim Pushins: Corby gave him one of my beers. Corby Scherb: I felt bad. Jim Gardner: There's always beer Corby Scherb: He needed one in that moment. Jim Gardner: around us. there's always sandwiches in my trailer, but there's Slim Pushins: Hey, I'm not turning wrenches. Jim Gardner: there's beers in Kerbo's truck. So I'm excited for Kennendale this weekend. It is it still gonna be hot as hell? Corby Scherb: It's supposed to cool off. It's not even supposed to break a hundred Saturday, so I'll have a hoodie. I'll have a hoodie out. Jim Gardner: What fan Slim Pushins: Damn. Danny Danny said we lost a we lost a rear brake pad and the feature going into three steering boxes locked up. Sending it off. Jim Gardner: I'll be damned only a high of ninety seven in Kennedale, Texas on Saturday. Slim Pushins: I learned a long time ago, as much as I like to argue with Corby, he keeps a pretty good eye on the weather. I have been wrong arguing Jim Gardner: Ha ha Slim Pushins: weather facts with Corby more than once. Corby Scherb: We went to Ardmore one time. We'll tell this story. We went to Ardmore and I told you and Logan, I said, Guys, it's gonna be cold today. You're like, whatever, you don't know what you're talking about. I showed up w I showed up with pants, hoodie, Slim Pushins: He was like, You're gonna need a hoodie. I was like, Why? No. Corby Scherb: everything, man. I was ready. And sure enough, Logan was walking around with unders on underneath his shorts. I said, I told y'all. I told y'all, man. It's gonna be cold.
