  Happy Sunday morning, everybody. I know it's Sunday, isn't it?
• 0:09
  Is it Sunday? Last week I said happy Tuesday
• 0:17
  and it was Wednesday. Is the old man losing it?
• 0:21
  Is that what happens when you get old?
• 0:25
  All right, let's take the glasses off.
• 0:29
  I had my glasses on when I was scrolling social media looking
• 0:34
  at the news and then here. I don't need my glasses.
• 0:38
  I'm wearing 2 hundreds by the way, the great Dick Trickle, the
• 0:46
  great Dick trickle, he said, my boy, start as low as you can.
• 0:50
  So around 47 years old. I started at 120 fives 15175, so
• 0:56
  I'm at 200 right now. OK, let's get right to it this
• 1:01
  morning. First of all, I finished third
• 1:06
  last night. It was a great night for me.
• 1:10
  I drive like I'm 61 years old. I found out last night that let
• 1:17
  me see, Jim Black is 56. Schrader.
• 1:21
  Kenny Schrader loaded up. He'd loaded up somebody and I
• 1:28
  know that somebody's name got into Schrader, body slammed
• 1:33
  Schrader and it smashed Kenny Schrader's headers, and those
• 1:39
  are some expensive headers. So smashed his header shut.
• 1:43
  I guess he, I guess my, my dear friend Schrader didn't have
• 1:47
  spare headers. So he loaded up big car count
• 1:50
  last night, like 26 of our cars. I started 7th in my heat race
• 1:59
  and I won and I started third in the feature and once again I put
• 2:04
  that dumb ass M60 on and I couldn't get going.
• 2:08
  Hell, I fell all the way back to 8th.
• 2:11
  Crowd was on their feet. What's wrong with Wallace?
• 2:14
  He's 61, he's got experience. But anyway, it finally got fired
• 2:23
  and we made our way back up to 2nd and then Trev Jacoby, a
• 2:28
  young driver who's driving really good, good friend of
• 2:31
  mine. Great job by Trev.
• 2:35
  Trev's like anybody, he needs a little love when he does good.
• 2:38
  I love you Trev. And you just drove.
• 2:41
  You out drove me, buddy. You out drove me.
• 2:45
  But anyway, oh, Jim Black is a good looking older man and he's
• 2:52
  parked next to me and I said, Jim, you look good.
• 2:55
  How old are you? I'm 56.
• 2:58
  I'm like, thank God because if you were my age, I have I got to
• 3:03
  get to work. But Jim Black's 5657585966.
• 3:08
  I'm almost six years older than Jim.
• 3:11
  But I was going to say Schrader loaded up.
• 3:14
  He's he's going to be 70 here in a little bit.
• 3:16
  But anyway, I got everybody beat by at least 1015 years.
• 3:22
  So I'm I'm proud of my performance.
• 3:27
  Won the heat race and ran third in the Sonoco dirt car last
• 3:31
  night. And we we got great racers.
• 3:33
  So I'm really proud of that run. I still got it.
• 3:38
  Keep an eye on that. You got to keep an eye on that.
• 3:40
  If you ain't do no good, you just quit.
• 3:42
  But I'm still running good. OK, it's raining here but I'm
• 3:49
  headed to Quincy, IL today and weather looks good up there.
• 3:53
  I checked the weather and it says 5% chance till 11:00 today
• 3:58
  and then 00 the rest of the day. So I looked at The Weather
• 4:03
  Channel, it says after 11:00 today 0% chance.
• 4:08
  So I'm going to get up to the shop here, change the gear,
• 4:12
  going to change the left rear shock.
• 4:13
  I got to even though that that hard right rear won't fire on
• 4:17
  the starts. I think I can do a little better
• 4:18
  job with my left rear shock. OK, the big story in the garage
• 4:27
  area in NASCAR, this Catherine Legge.
• 4:32
  LEGGE Catherine is a British lady racer and she has some
• 4:40
  credentials. She is the fastest lady in an
• 4:48
  IndyCar at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and I believe
• 4:54
  there's a lot of people that admire her talent.
• 4:59
  So Catherine is very nice, very nice lady race car driver.
• 5:06
  She ran extremely well in the Xfinity race yesterday at
• 5:10
  Talladega. Eric Amarillo made a mistake,
• 5:16
  Eric. It reminds me of of Dale junior,
• 5:20
  Dale senior. It reminds me of Dale senior.
• 5:23
  Senior would say to me, Harmon, don't trust these spotters,
• 5:27
  clear yourself. So after the race, Eric Amarillo
• 5:33
  on Bob Pockras, I believe interview, he said, my spotter
• 5:37
  said clear up. He says I got up.
• 5:39
  Of course he ran right into Catherine, ran right into
• 5:43
  running in the top 10. So Catherine ran real good in
• 5:47
  the Xfinity race, but she got wrecked out by Eric Amarolo.
• 5:52
  But it Eric said it was my bad, my bad.
• 5:56
  He said, my spotter said clear and of course he went up and got
• 6:00
  wrecked. I still have a problem with
• 6:02
  these spotter. Sometimes they they, they, they
• 6:05
  want postcards to sign for the fans.
• 6:07
  Sometimes there are some of these spotters that they want
• 6:11
  postcards and they want to sign them, meaning they think they're
• 6:15
  driving the damn car. So it's a tough job, but some of
• 6:20
  them carry themselves as if they're the drivers.
• 6:23
  And I just keep my eye on them. I know they're good people.
• 6:26
  I'm not, I'm not talking bad about the spotters.
• 6:29
  I'm just saying some of them, they think they're all that.
• 6:33
  So Catherine gets wrecked out. That's not the story.
• 6:38
  The story is a couple days before that.
• 6:45
  Catherine has been saying this over the last couple weeks that
• 6:49
  she's been receiving a lot of death threats.
• 6:52
  Like what The what? So Catherine has ran a couple, a
• 7:04
  couple Cup races. No, she ran 1 Cup rice at
• 7:09
  Phoenix and she was not up to speed.
• 7:13
  She was getting lap and they ran right into her.
• 7:17
  Then she went to she went to Rockingham and she was getting
• 7:24
  lap but she was up high and another driver came in and ran
• 7:31
  right into her. So there's a lot of ways to look
• 7:35
  at this in my my opinion is this.
• 7:39
  She's a great lady. She's a good racer.
• 7:43
  I just bragged on her. However, when you come to the
• 7:49
  Truck Series, when you come to the third division down, buddy,
• 7:54
  this ain't no joke. These guys are good.
• 7:58
  These kids nowadays, they're jacked up on sun drop and I
• 8:02
  mean, they're doing jumping jacks and push ups and they're
• 8:05
  on these damn games and there's they got more than we ever
• 8:09
  dreamed of in a million years. So they're ready to go and all
• 8:13
  these young kids are good racers.
• 8:16
  Well, Catherine's a nice lady, but she's coming up some of the
• 8:19
  best. She's coming up and she's racing
• 8:21
  in the most difficult division, I would say in the world, these
• 8:25
  heavy trucks and you know, Xfinity Cup.
• 8:30
  This is no joke. I think Catherine needs to go
• 8:34
  run some full bodied stock cars a little bit.
• 8:36
  Just really do it a lot. Get in the trenches.
• 8:40
  You know, the Cars Tour is no joke.
• 8:42
  She'd probably get lapped in those two because the I went and
• 8:46
  ran Cars Tour. I qualified 21st and run 21st.
• 8:50
  I didn't get lapped, but I drove my ass off.
• 8:53
  All this racing in America is hard.
• 8:57
  These guys are no joke, so shame on all of you, whoever you are
• 9:03
  or what kind of person are you all my God, we we, you got time
• 9:08
  on your hand. You, you got that much time on
• 9:10
  your hand where you you tell somebody you're going to kill
• 9:13
  them because they caused a wreck or you didn't drive.
• 9:18
  I mean hell, you don't even race.
• 9:20
  I put myself in that position every once in a while.
• 9:22
  I think what kind of what kind of crazy people are these that
• 9:26
  want want to I'm going to kill you because some some race car
• 9:31
  driver ran into you. She don't even know you.
• 9:34
  You don't even know them. So shame on you for some of you
• 9:43
  that do these things. This is not tolerable and get
• 9:47
  off your damn phone. If you're going to be on your
• 9:50
  phone, do it like me. I'm awesome.
• 9:53
  Do you see me? I'm always complimenting
• 9:55
  everybody. That's what I do.
• 9:57
  That's all I do. I compliment people.
• 10:01
  And if I and if I talk bad about something, it's just a
• 10:04
  situation. You know what I mean?
• 10:06
  I don't. I don't.
• 10:07
  I don't get on the damn phone and go, I hope you die.
• 10:10
  I don't like you. Now.
• 10:12
  I might scold the people. I might scold the people like I
• 10:16
  did Ross Chastain and Ross came up to me at Saint Louis.
• 10:20
  He goes, Herman, I don't want you to talk about me out by the
• 10:23
  pool ever again. My message is this, be like me,
• 10:29
  be like the Herminator. Look at all my, look at all my
• 10:32
  stuff. I always tell everybody how good
• 10:34
  they are. Great job.
• 10:36
  Because in the end it's all people want you.
• 10:40
  You could win 8 championships and it's still nice to hear how
• 10:44
  good you are or you're loved. My brother Rusty, he loves, he
• 10:49
  loves being loved. All the great ones, they love
• 10:52
  being loved. So shame on you and and cut that
• 10:57
  out. That's dumb.
• 10:58
  You don't you don't get on there and tell somebody you're going
• 11:02
  to kill them or, or furthermore, you don't get on there and talk
• 11:05
  crap about them. Now, if you want to say Captain
• 11:09
  was in the way today or something like that, but you you
• 11:13
  don't. I mean, that was that was
• 11:15
  breaking news in the Rodger and Bob Pockras when he interviewed
• 11:18
  her, he was very good to her. He said Bob or he said,
• 11:22
  Catherine, you let a laugh today and she goes that don't count.
• 11:26
  I won't accept that. Is Catherine leggy?
• 11:28
  She she's got the mentality of a real racer, but she's strong.
• 11:33
  She's strong. She's going to keep racing.
• 11:36
  You guys aren't going to you guys are not going to get her.
• 11:38
  She she's that type of mentality.
• 11:40
  She's got that Danica Patrick mentality.
• 11:43
  You not going to get her. She's going to keep on going.
• 11:46
  Even if she doesn't have success.
• 11:48
  She's got great sponsorship and she's going to keep, she's going
• 11:51
  to keep up. She's going to keep going.
• 11:53
  So I'd rather be her. I'd rather be in the ring
• 11:57
  fighting than sitting on the couch talking about somebody
• 12:00
  that's actually in the ring. You're not in the ring, All
• 12:06
  right? You all deserve that ass cheer
• 12:08
  and that I just gave you. I love you.
• 12:13
  I love you. But like Brother Russ, he says
• 12:16
  sometimes you guys are thinking wrong and you're simply thinking
• 12:19
  wrong. All right, I'm going to get off
• 12:25
  the couch. I'm going to get off the couch.
• 12:31
  It's cold. It's cold outside.
• 12:34
  It's cold. I'm going to get up there and
• 12:38
  unload the car and change the gear, change the left for spring
• 12:43
  and get my stuff ready. Have a great Sunday.
