  Happy Tuesday morning, everybody.
• 0:06
  A little cloudy out today. Breaking news in the NASCAR
• 0:14
  garage area. And buddy, this one's juicy.
• 0:17
  Haven't heard of, haven't heard of this stuff in a long time.
• 0:20
  This is a soap opera. This one's a soap opera, as
• 0:25
  reported by Adam Stern. That's where I got it from.
• 0:30
  I read it and now I'm commenting on it, Adam Stern says.
• 0:36
  He says that NASCAR is aware that a Joe Gibbs engineer in the
• 0:47
  last year of his contract has sold some information to a team
• 0:56
  that is out of the playoffs. All right, let's break this
• 1:04
  down. I'm not going to repeat it.
• 1:07
  I'm hoping you understood that I'm going to.
• 1:09
  This is your first Test. All right.
• 1:13
  So years ago I worked for a great crew chief slash slash
• 1:22
  chassis man named Jake Elder Jake, so little bit of chassis
• 1:29
  information for $500.00 cash and, and I watched it happen.
• 1:35
  I didn't think anything of it. I thought, well, Jake J Keller
• 1:39
  made $500 and back in those days, everybody, you know, it
• 1:46
  wasn't that big of a deal. Now, you got to remember back in
• 1:48
  the 80s, there was about 70s and 80s, there was about maybe six
• 1:53
  cars that could win, you know, maybe Earnhardt, Waltrip,
• 1:58
  Allison, Petty, Pearson, Yarborough, That's about it.
• 2:04
  So although NASCAR was awesome, the competition wasn't as stiff.
• 2:11
  So, you know, you couldn't make as much money back then.
• 2:14
  So Jake Elder, I watched him and it was at Daytona, the right
• 2:18
  outside the old tunnel, some money was exchanged.
• 2:22
  So nowadays you don't tell nobody nothing because as we
• 2:27
  know, we have 18 winners right now.
• 2:30
  So when when these teams hire these engineers that they sign a
• 2:37
  big old contract, I think their word is proprietary or something
• 2:42
  like that. It's instead of just saying
• 2:44
  don't share no information, they go proprietary information.
• 2:48
  It's like, it's like when you sign a contract and you read it
• 2:51
  and they use the words they're of.
• 2:53
  Therefore, it's like, get that out of there.
• 2:56
  That's just stupid language. So Joe Gibbs engineer has been
• 3:02
  caught selling proprietary information.
• 3:06
  It means that these engineers signed a contract with Joe Gibbs
• 3:11
  that they would never breathe a word of anything.
• 3:15
  Now, what's this mean? Well, right now, until anybody
• 3:19
  does anything about it, it don't mean a hill of beans.
• 3:22
  However, it's like Days of Our Lives.
• 3:26
  It's soap opera in unless Joe Gibbs does something about it,
• 3:32
  it really don't. It really don't mean a hill of
• 3:34
  beans. But here's what I find funny.
• 3:37
  NASCAR knows about it. So I mean, is it?
• 3:44
  I don't think it's the same thing as, you know, Michigan
• 3:50
  spying on Ohio, right? I mean, they, they, they don't
• 3:54
  even make they, they got rid of that dumb deal.
• 3:56
  So the Michigan football team, you remember that documentary on
• 3:59
  Netflix? You can find it right now where
• 4:02
  you know, you you can't film even if even if you're at the
• 4:06
  game, you can't film Ohio. So, so Michigan, that guy took
• 4:10
  it upon himself to film some of what Ohio was doing.
• 4:14
  Well, this is a little bit different deal because you know,
• 4:19
  this engineer most most likely this is my opinion.
• 4:24
  This engineer most likely is pissed because he's in the last
• 4:29
  year of his contract with Gibbs, as reported by Adam Stern.
• 4:34
  And he said hell, and I'm make me some money hell.
• 4:38
  They might they might have given him 10 grand and the guy gives,
• 4:41
  you know, this team outside the playoffs a chassis setup and who
• 4:46
  is the team outside the playoffs?
• 4:47
  You know there there's not really any bad teams anymore.
• 4:51
  So anyway, let's pay attention and see where that story goes.
• 4:55
  But I thought, oh boy, this is a good one here.
• 4:58
  This is Days of Our Lives. This is soap opera.
• 5:01
  What's his name? We don't know.
• 5:03
  But we do know he works for Coach Joe Gibbs and I guess
• 5:08
  Coach Joe Gibbs or somebody told NASCAR about it.
• 5:10
  So as of right now, unless they do something about it, it's it's
• 5:16
  not breaking the law. However, we do know that the
• 5:20
  that the contracts with the teams, the engineers, that is
• 5:24
  breaking the law because they all, all the engineers sign
• 5:27
  contracts with the teams. I will not share anything with
• 5:31
  anybody. All right, I think I broke that
• 5:34
  one down long enough for you. The next on the docket, Haley
• 5:39
  Diggin. Haley Diggin finally found a
• 5:43
  home. She is going to go race Indy
• 5:47
  NXTI believe with HBM Motorsports.
• 5:53
  What is Indy NXT? Indy NXT is a feeder series to
• 6:00
  the IndyCar Series. So in other words, Haley, in
• 6:05
  NASCAR terms, Haley is going to go run the Xfinity Series
• 6:10
  basically in the IndyCar Series. So if if Haley does good in Indy
• 6:17
  NXT, her next step would be the Indy 500 and she would move up
• 6:22
  to the IndyCar Series. Now man, I've been talking a
• 6:27
  lot. What's the new Herman?
• 6:33
  Now, I think this is a great idea and here's why.
• 6:36
  Hold on. I'm going to tell you why.
• 6:39
  I don't care if you don't think it's a good idea.
• 6:42
  She don't even run in the NASCAR series and you still don't like
• 6:45
  her, simmer down people. The reason I think this is a
• 6:52
  good idea, and this is a controversial take and I know it
• 6:54
  is, they can't run into her like they did in NASCAR.
• 7:00
  There's so many jealous men that race in NASCAR that they could
• 7:05
  take the vehicle and use it like a weapon and they would just run
• 7:08
  into her and spin her out and wreck her.
• 7:11
  And it happened all the time. We watched it.
• 7:14
  So she says to hell with this NASCAR.
• 7:18
  They're not ready for a woman. NASCAR is not ready for a lady
• 7:22
  racer. I said it.
• 7:24
  I said it. So she goes over the IndyCar and
• 7:29
  if you notice, Danica Patrick had success over there.
• 7:33
  And I believe this is a better opportunity for Haley.
• 7:36
  And here's why. Because you cannot take your
• 7:41
  IndyCar and run into another competitor because it will break
• 7:45
  your own car. You see what I'm saying?
• 7:48
  In NASCAR, you can run into somebody, you can body slam, you
• 7:52
  can get away with it. In the IndyCar Series, you
• 7:56
  cannot take your car and use it as a weapon because the car
• 8:00
  break right away. Now you might be able to get
• 8:02
  away with a little bit of a body slam because you know of this,
• 8:06
  the side tub on those Indycars. But listen, I know what I said
• 8:13
  is a little controversial, but it goes back to what I said.
• 8:18
  Say, you know, say what you mean, mean what you say.
• 8:22
  So I said it all right? I just think this is a better
• 8:26
  fit for Haley because now it's car against car.
• 8:28
  It's driver against driver. It's not like, oh, I don't like
• 8:31
  a girl out running me. I'm going to wreck her because
• 8:33
  they did that all day long in NASCAR to Haley and they did it
• 8:36
  to Danica too. So it's just it's just simple.
• 8:39
  Here's a quote. NASCAR is not ready.
• 8:43
  The upper series, the NASCAR Xfinity, the NASCAR Cup Series,
• 8:48
  those guys are just not ready for a lady racer.
• 8:50
  They can't take them. They run into them, they wreck
• 8:53
  them. So congratulations to Haley
• 8:55
  Deegan. She did not fold her tent.
• 8:58
  She did not fold her tent. She's she's still racing.
• 9:02
  So congratulations, Haley. All right, all right, that was 2
• 9:07
  pieces of news today. We we talked about the soap
• 9:13
  opera, the engineers selling information to who we don't
• 9:16
  know. It was reported in NASCAR unless
• 9:20
  they do anything about it, then that's that.
• 9:23
  Hayley Deegan going to the basically IndyCar league to
• 9:28
  their feeder series called Indy NXT.
• 9:30
  All right, hey, have a great Tuesday.
• 9:35
  It's a beautiful day, said Herman Munster.
