  Happy Monday morning everybody. Sure does feel good to be home.
• 0:07
  I was gone Thursday night, Friday night, Saturday night,
• 0:13
  and all day Sunday as my hero the great Dick Trickle would
• 0:19
  say. Dick Trickle would say to me.
• 0:22
  My boy, do you know why we go on vacation?
• 0:26
  I'm like no Dick, why do we go on vacation?
• 0:29
  He would simply say so we can go back home.
• 0:34
  I don't think I was on a vacation but I sure did enjoy
• 0:38
  myself. Went down to Austin, TX Circuit
• 0:44
  of the America and we did a really nice show on Friday
• 0:48
  night. It was First responders
• 0:50
  appreciation night. We had 4 great NASCAR drivers
• 0:55
  there. We put on a show and we honored
• 0:59
  our first responders, firefighters, police, EMT,
• 1:05
  emergency responders, paramedics.
• 1:10
  So it was a good time and I really enjoyed it.
• 1:13
  And then Saturday, Saturday, I was overwhelmed with gratitude.
• 1:20
  I was humbled, I was thankful Mike Hilton came and got me,
• 1:27
  Steve O'Donnell came and got me. These are all the leaders of
• 1:30
  NASCAR, Tommy Baldwin, all the crew members.
• 1:36
  Made me feel right at home, just like I was back back in the
• 1:40
  garage area. So all day Saturday we watched
• 1:44
  the O'Reilly Auto Parts race from everywhere.
• 1:47
  What a beautiful facility, the nicest Rd. course in America.
• 1:52
  I got I got to admit, because it's it's I think it's not ten
• 1:57
  years old, maybe 12 years old. It's just it's made for modern
• 2:01
  era. It got a mini Six Flags in
• 2:03
  there. They got everything going.
• 2:05
  They got roller coasters and they got a they got it all in
• 2:11
  there. You you should you should check
• 2:13
  it out. Make sure you go to Circuit of
• 2:15
  the America flying to Austin TX man, we run by the the Tesla
• 2:21
  plant Joe Rogan's down there at Austin TX.
• 2:25
  That shocked me That place is packed.
• 2:28
  You better be ready. They they're famous for BBQ
• 2:32
  every restaurant lined up around the block.
• 2:35
  But if you're patient like I got there and I started to tweak a
• 2:39
  little bit, but the lines go fast.
• 2:42
  Had good time eating tacos every morning down in the city.
• 2:47
  Nice little pop up trailers. Those are the best tackles when
• 2:51
  they're making them right in front of your face.
• 2:56
  I want to thank everybody at NASCAR for welcoming me into the
• 3:00
  garage area with open arms. Tommy Baldwin, Freddie Kraft,
• 3:05
  everybody from door bumper clear.
• 3:07
  They're just Herman walked up and down the pits.
• 3:13
  All right, that was a long monologue, but that was my
• 3:17
  weekend at Circuit of the America.
• 3:23
  OK Tyler Reddick, listen to this.
• 3:29
  In the 77 year history of NASCAR, nobody has ever done
• 3:34
  what Tyler Reddick, Michael Jordan and Carter Denny Hamlin
• 3:38
  have done. Now, Michael Jordan after the
• 3:42
  race live on Fox, Michael Jordan says all the credit goes to
• 3:46
  Denny Hamlin. Denny Hamlin was the one that
• 3:50
  said let's hire, let's get Tyler Reddick, let's get his crew
• 3:55
  chief. So Michael Jordan says I just
• 3:58
  supply the money. But it was Denny Hamlin that saw
• 4:03
  the talent. So once again, Denny Hamlin
• 4:08
  walks to walk, talks to talk. Michael Jordan gives us a behind
• 4:13
  the scenes look at who put the team together.
• 4:16
  It was Denny Hamlin. So I'd say when it's time for
• 4:19
  Denny to lay his tools down and go home, Denny will continue.
• 4:26
  He's already a car owner, but he will continue to be one of the
• 4:29
  best NASCAR car owners in NASCAR history.
• 4:32
  Because I'll share something with you that I learned in the
• 4:36
  garage area. They said, Kenny, it's sad to
• 4:40
  say we no longer have mechanics. We have engineers and that's
• 4:47
  like that at the car lots where you go and get your new car now,
• 4:53
  you don't see no greasy old mechanics anymore.
• 4:56
  They're plugging in a laptop computer.
• 4:58
  They're downloading codes to see what's wrong with your car.
• 5:02
  Same thing in NASCAR, same thing in Formula One, same thing in
• 5:07
  IndyCar. You don't see welders out, you
• 5:10
  don't see hammers anymore. You see these engineers, you
• 5:16
  don't see anybody in NASCAR welding on something, spreading
• 5:22
  bondo. It is all changed and you just
• 5:28
  can't stop change. Let's talk about all of you.
• 5:36
  I hear you. I hear you all.
• 5:40
  Sometimes it's like a damn comedy.
• 5:44
  Oh my God, 2311. They sue NASCAR and NASCAR let's
• 5:53
  them win everything. What did you make it through
• 5:58
  school? Did some of you make it through
• 6:00
  high school or did you go to the black helicopter conspiracy
• 6:07
  school? Yeah, that's it.
• 6:10
  They sue NASCAR. Now NASCAR say you get to win
• 6:12
  all the races like a Bobo. Almost cussed.
• 6:18
  Almost cussed. Let me explain to you why Tyler
• 6:23
  Reddick won three in a row. And this is the part I want
• 6:27
  Charlie to edit and use. All week at Daytona, Tyler
• 6:34
  Reddick was in the right spot at the right time.
• 6:38
  He was going to run 5th or 6th. They all wrecked and there he
• 6:41
  was. Who was going to win Daytona?
• 6:45
  Who was going to win Daytona? Respond right here.
• 6:49
  That's right, Chase Elliott. It was his race to lose there He
• 6:56
  was at the right spot at the right time.
• 6:58
  Tyler Reddick wins the Daytona 500, not even leading the race.
• 7:03
  Running 6, gets a run, wins it at the start finish line.
• 7:09
  I don't think NASCAR was going we're going to let you win this
• 7:12
  race because that was part of the lawsuit.
• 7:17
  Y'all kill me. Let's go to Atlanta the very
• 7:20
  next week. Tyler Reddick was back in 25th.
• 7:27
  He wasn't going to win the race. Tyler Reddick at Atlanta in the
• 7:32
  right spot at the right time, sitting there running behind his
• 7:36
  teammate and Bubba decides to move high and all Tyler Reddick
• 7:40
  does is go what? Tyler Reddick just holds his
• 7:43
  lane, runs the bottom, wins, wins the race with other drivers
• 7:51
  right there trying to trying to take the wind away.
• 7:55
  Hell of a race. Now we go to Circuit of America
• 8:02
  and there it is. In the 77 year history of
• 8:06
  NASCAR, Tyler Reddick truly wins the race all by himself on his
• 8:15
  own talent and he won all three races on his talent.
• 8:19
  But for your little conspiracy theory, everybody, it just
• 8:22
  doesn't hold weight because he won these races from 25th at
• 8:26
  Atlanta, came up to 3rd, put himself just sitting to run
• 8:29
  along and they moved out of the way and there he was.
• 8:36
  And I will tell you this, if you're not on the NASCAR train
• 8:40
  right now, you're going to get thrown off.
• 8:42
  It's a boulder coming down the hill, move out of the way.
• 8:45
  You getting ready to run over, you going to get run over.
• 8:48
  And here's why. Because I was at Circuit of the
• 8:51
  America and those people, they don't know nothing about you.
• 8:54
  All at home, they're there. It was a record crowd, People
• 9:00
  from 48 states in America and 10 countries across global Earth.
• 9:06
  Record crowd ratings are going good.
• 9:11
  NASCAR's back, baby. It's a glorious time.
• 9:17
  Have a great Monday everyone.
