  Happy Monday, everybody, and happy Saint Patrick's Day.

  Kim's got me beat. She's got her her shirt on.
• 0:11
  What's that say, honey? This is my lucky shirt.
• 0:15
  It says. This is my.
• 0:17
  Lucky. This is my lucky shirt.
• 0:19
  Should have wore it all week. Ain't she smart?
• 0:24
  She should have wore it at the casino.
• 0:26
  All right, we are. It's early in the morning here,
• 0:30
  738 o'clock. We are at Brendan Gone's South
• 0:35
  Point Casino. Our plane leads here at about
• 0:38
  11:30, when we get ready to roll out in about 30 minutes.
• 0:42
  But we're still on that Midwest time, so we're up and at it.
• 0:46
  All right, Yesterday's NASCAR race Sunday in Las Vegas was a
• 0:52
  really, really popular win by Josh Berry with The Wood
• 0:57
  Brothers. So what happens when somebody
• 1:01
  like that wins? NASCAR becomes more popular.
• 1:04
  Now you're going to have some people that are still going.
• 1:08
  I don't like NASCAR because my driver wrecked out is what they
• 1:12
  really mean. You know, when you hear the
• 1:14
  people go, I don't like NASCAR, that means my driver wrecked
• 1:19
  out. So you're going to see a lot of
• 1:24
  good this week from all the fans because somebody neutral 1 Dale
• 1:33
  Earnhardt Junior has been screaming from the rooftops.
• 1:37
  There is an A2 year old X text that Dale Junior put out from
• 1:44
  two years ago. It said if you want to be a
• 1:47
  championship car owner, hired Josh Berry because he's a
• 1:52
  championship owner. And if you got that, put it
• 1:55
  right here. Everybody, it's out there.
• 1:56
  It's starting to circulate throughout.
• 2:00
  But you know, the biggest supporter of Josh Berry was
• 2:05
  Rodney Childers. If you remember last year, the
• 2:10
  demise of Stewart House Racing was in the air and it just
• 2:15
  really messed that whole team up.
• 2:17
  So Rodney Childers had driver Josh Berry in pretty much his
• 2:21
  first year. So you had all that negativity
• 2:24
  around them and you know, Rodney and and Josh, they were doing
• 2:29
  good, but they just couldn't really get the ball rolling.
• 2:32
  Now in this timeline, I'm going to drop a picture.
• 2:37
  We had Josh Berry on Trackside live yesterday and I said, Josh,
• 2:42
  you said last week in Phoenix that you finally felt like a Cup
• 2:46
  driver. What did you mean by that?
• 2:50
  And he and I'm trying to get CC Marlo's on vacation right now.
• 2:54
  Hello Charlie. Hope you and your wife and
• 2:56
  children are having a good time. But when things get a little
• 3:00
  boring every once in a while, Charlie come up for for air.
• 3:03
  And we're going to try to get from PRN Live, the Performance
• 3:08
  Racing Network. We're going to try to get that
• 3:10
  little conversation that I had with Josh Berry, myself, Jose
• 3:14
  Castillo and John Roberts. We're going to try to get that
• 3:17
  where he says I just feel right now because this team is so good
• 3:22
  to me. And then he said, you know, last
• 3:23
  year at Stewart House that, you know, the negativity was in the
• 3:28
  air right at the start, you know, that the team is closing
• 3:31
  and you know, of course, Tony Stewart was it still is upset
• 3:35
  with NASCAR and he didn't like the way that NASCAR was moving.
• 3:38
  So Tony's I quit and so, so here's what you're going to see.
• 3:45
  You are going to see a mixture of positivity #1 The Wood
• 3:50
  Brothers 75 years. So they are a 75 year old team.
• 3:58
  Kim, do you think that The Wood Brothers are winning longer than
• 4:03
  Petty Enterprises right now? Do you?
• 4:08
  Do you remember on the Kyle Petty Charity ride?
• 4:10
  What were we celebrating? Was it 70?
• 4:12
  Had to be 75 years in NASCAR. Yeah.
• 4:17
  So respond right here. You got the information.
• 4:21
  Remember, Play along. I don't know it all.
• 4:23
  All I know is what's up? So are The Wood Brothers and
• 4:27
  will The Wood Brothers? Let's let's say that.
• 4:30
  Will The Wood Brothers be the longest winning running NASCAR
• 4:34
  team? I mean, Junior Johnson's gone,
• 4:37
  Bud Moore's gone. You know, I don't know if you'll
• 4:41
  ever see. I mean, what are we down to?
• 4:43
  A second or third generation of The Wood Brothers?
• 4:46
  So you're going to see a lot of positivity because of The Wood
• 4:49
  Brothers being such wonderful people and they they've given to
• 4:53
  NASCAR, they've given to this sport forever.
• 4:57
  Etzel Ford, Amanda Base basically started runs Ford.
• 5:02
  You know, the generation keeps going down, man, I've had a
• 5:06
  cold. Sorry about that.
• 5:09
  But you know, whenever the whenever The Wood Brothers get
• 5:12
  in trouble, Epsil Ford is there to save them.
• 5:15
  And now that car is based out of Penske Racing.
• 5:18
  So got to make sure we yell that out.
• 5:21
  Josh Berry's wood brother car is based at Penske racing.
• 5:25
  So that hot Rod's hauling butt right now and and Josh is always
• 5:30
  been a good driver. But let that be a lesson
• 5:32
  everybody that you just don't come in the NASCAR and win.
• 5:35
  Josh ran all time He ran. He was in Kevin Harvest car all
• 5:40
  last year. But you know, like we said, it
• 5:44
  just started faltering. The Next Gen. car was new.
• 5:47
  And so, yeah, All right. I think as little Larry Mack
• 5:51
  Reynolds say, we'd beat that like a dead horse.
• 5:54
  I think on Jeff Clucks, you know, was was Vegas a good race?
• 5:59
  I think you're going to see. I think you're going to see yes,
• 6:02
  it was even though, hey, finally not a photo finish finally and
• 6:07
  on Herman straighter, straighter said Herman.
• 6:10
  They can't all be photo finishes like we've had all year long.
• 6:14
  So this is the first time where Josh Berry won over Daniel Sores
• 6:18
  by a second. What is the 2nd 1001 That was
• 6:23
  it. So I think you're going to, I
• 6:31
  think you're going to see all positivity because Josh Berry is
• 6:35
  new and The Wood Brothers, everybody loves them.
• 6:38
  And I think even though it wasn't a photo finish, I think
• 6:40
  you're going to see this was a great race.
• 6:44
  And let's face it, if you like wrecks, they wreck their ever
• 6:47
  living ass off. Kim, did you see any of those
• 6:50
  wrecks? No, I don't watch it.
• 6:53
  You don't watch it? Why I haven't?
• 6:55
  Watched it since you left. She ain't watching.
• 6:59
  Oh, but you watch it sometime. All right, We had wheels falling
• 7:03
  off. We had a boy.
• 7:04
  How about Chase Briscoe? He's had a rough start to the
• 7:07
  year. They had a left for a wheel fall
• 7:09
  off. So you get a 2 lap penalty if
• 7:12
  you let your wheel fall off. And boy, how about Kyle Busch?
• 7:15
  He comes off at turn 2 and his damn wheel falls off at speed.
• 7:20
  We had two wheels falling off. Now there it goes to show you
• 7:24
  nobody's wheels will fall off all year long.
• 7:27
  Nobody's wheels have fallen off or fallen off.
• 7:31
  I only went one through 12. The the wheels have fall off 2
• 7:35
  cars here at Vegas. Why?
• 7:38
  Why didn't they fall off anytime this year?
• 7:40
  So that that's a that's a mystery right there.
• 7:42
  Why did since Oh by the way, since you all know everything
• 7:47
  Kim, do you know I'm a prick every once in a while.
• 7:50
  So why did the wheels fall off 2 cars at Vegas?
• 7:57
  Because the wheels have not fallen off anywhere this year.
• 8:00
  That was exciting. That was a couple of cautions.
• 8:05
  And then Christopher Bell, they're running 4 wide down the
• 8:09
  back straight away. That's another reason I think
• 8:11
  you're going to say this was a good race.
• 8:13
  They was three and four wide most of the day and then they go
• 8:16
  4 wide down that back straight away and it just doesn't work.
• 8:20
  And Christopher Bell gets or not Christopher Bell, Ryan Blaney,
• 8:25
  sorry, Ryan Blaney gets wrecked. So all right, everybody, I think
• 8:30
  I broke it down this morning. I I think what we're going to
• 8:32
  name this is a pop. You know, wasn't what NASCAR.
• 8:38
  It was a good race because of the because of Josh Berry winner
• 8:41
  that that's the headlines. It was a even though it wasn't a
• 8:43
  photo finish, it was a good race because The Wood Brothers Josh
• 8:47
  Berry is a feel good win and we had a ton of wrecks.
• 8:53
  Alright everybody, happy Saint Patrick's Day.
