  You know it's serious when I put on my daddy Allison hat.
• 0:07
  Richard Childress, one of the most famous car owners in all
• 0:11
  the world. He was Dale Earnhardt Senior's
• 0:14
  car owner. The man in black #3 he's been in
• 0:18
  NASCAR as long as any car owner there's ever been.
• 0:22
  Rodger Penske, Rick Hendrick, they all admire, they love
• 0:27
  Richard Childress. Richard Childress on this
• 0:31
  Monday, November 24th comes out with a scathing press release.
• 0:37
  And I'm just going to paraphrase it for you.
• 0:39
  I'm I'm not a journalist, OK? We're just drinking beer here
• 0:43
  together. Richard Childress says I'm so
• 0:48
  disappointed in NASCAR, Phelps and Herbst, what they said about
• 0:54
  me after all these years I put into this sport.
• 0:57
  And at the very end he said we are going to look into legal
• 1:02
  action. OK, That's whoa, that's that's
• 1:07
  when it that's when it's like, OK, the press release was
• 1:10
  reading. I you know, Richard's pissed.
• 1:12
  We all know that they're cussing each other out and all these
• 1:15
  emails came out. So for the people that don't
• 1:19
  know, Michael Jordan, 2311, the owner and Front Row Motorsports,
• 1:26
  they're suing NASCAR for monopolistic practices now for
• 1:31
  the 22nd time of the year. I want to remind everybody,
• 1:36
  Judge Bell said years ago, that's how long it's been months
• 1:42
  ago. Judge Bell said, gentlemen solve
• 1:46
  this behind closed doors because the judge knew what he was
• 1:49
  talking about. He says you're getting ready to
• 1:51
  burn the house down. Now respond right here.
• 1:54
  How many times have I said Judge Bell said, fix it by yourself,
• 1:58
  guys, you're getting ready to burn the house down.
• 2:02
  This is what Judge Bell meant. And I've been reminding
• 2:05
  everybody over and over and over, Judge Bell knew that if
• 2:10
  they didn't solve it, contracts were going to come out, emails
• 2:16
  were going to come out, and it's all coming out.
• 2:20
  And what we found out is that NASCAR executives were bad
• 2:25
  mouthing everybody and anybody and, and people in the industry
• 2:31
  were bad mouthing each other. And this is what Judge Bell
• 2:35
  meant. You're going to burn the sport
• 2:36
  down because now that's what they're doing.
• 2:39
  First of all, it was just all it was was, you know, Michael
• 2:44
  Jordan and and front row going against NASCAR.
• 2:48
  Now Richard Childress comes out with this press release.
• 2:52
  It's World News. There it is.
• 2:54
  You read it. And Richard Childress at the
• 2:56
  very end says we're going to look into legal action.
• 2:59
  It's like, OK, now we got 2 lawsuits maybe, maybe we don't
• 3:04
  know. So when Judge Bell said you're
• 3:08
  going to burn the house down, this is exactly what he meant.
• 3:17
  It's like I said on coffee with Kenny, I can't believe I'm going
• 3:20
  to say this. Steve Phelps says to Herbst we
• 3:27
  need to take Richard Schiller's Outback and flog him.
• 3:33
  Google what flog means. I truly believe in my heart of
• 3:40
  all hearts that if Steve Phelps would have said, let's take him
• 3:44
  out back and beat his ass, that would have been all right.
• 3:48
  But the word flog, Google what flog means.
• 3:52
  It's very, very derogatory. Just Google it.
• 3:55
  It means whipped, tortured. So even my my oldest daughter
• 4:01
  Brooke, when I told, you know, my kids are like, what's going
• 4:04
  on dad And I said, oh, this one executive said they need to take
• 4:08
  Richard shivers Outback and flogging my daughter Brooke went
• 4:12
  she's like 3839 years old and she's like, dad, flog is a
• 4:15
  derogatory word that's bad. That means like whipped torture
• 4:21
  could be, you know, it's just not a good word to use.
• 4:24
  So if Steve would have said we need to take rich out and beat
• 4:28
  his ass. So here we are.
• 4:33
  This is a dark day for NASCAR and it's dark because
• 4:37
  everybody's calling me right now.
• 4:40
  We've had everybody call me, and I'm not bragging on myself.
• 4:44
  I'm just saying everybody's starting to panic.
• 4:48
  Will, are we going to Daytona next year?
• 4:51
  What happens if what happens if the judge says it's monopolistic
• 4:57
  practices that I mean, in the worst scenario, you know, like
• 5:02
  Microsoft, you know, you know, you can't be the only one to
• 5:04
  make a computer. Microsoft, they were the only
• 5:08
  ones making the computer for a little bit and there was a big
• 5:12
  lawsuit and it's like, OK, other people have to make a computer.
• 5:18
  And I, I just read this from some of the other journalists in
• 5:24
  NASCAR and they said, worst scenario, NASCAR gets split up.
• 5:30
  What does that mean? How does that look?
• 5:34
  So now I'm going to give my opinion.
• 5:39
  When you look at Formula One, they're owned by Liberty Medium,
• 5:44
  all right? When you look at NASCAR, they
• 5:49
  are my life. I want you all to know how much
• 5:52
  I love NASCAR. Now I'm I'm getting ready to,
• 5:56
  I'm getting ready to say something I don't want to say,
• 5:58
  but I want you to know how much the France family means to me.
• 6:02
  I love the France family. I watched the original Big Bill
• 6:06
  on the back straightaway in a wheelchair.
• 6:10
  Towards the end of his life he had a caretaker push him in that
• 6:13
  wheelchair trying to eat a little hot dog eat.
• 6:16
  I even remember had a little mustard on him.
• 6:19
  To this day it's burnt into my brain.
• 6:21
  I'm like, and I was the only one that saw it and I'm looking, I'm
• 6:25
  like, my God, there he is. Big Bill France.
• 6:28
  Watching. It was practice at Daytona
• 6:31
  during speed weeks and the cars were coming down the back
• 6:34
  straight away. That was the day they could
• 6:38
  rule. I'll never forget his son, you
• 6:42
  know, Bill France Junior, smoking a cigar and he had a
• 6:46
  beer. Herman, you're in trouble.
• 6:52
  And then Mike Kelton called me up and said, Herman, do you want
• 6:56
  me to be the one to end your career?
• 6:59
  You're not the only one in this sport.
• 7:02
  And they fined me $10,000 for not obeying the caution flag.
• 7:06
  They threw the caution flag and I'm like, I'm not listening.
• 7:10
  And they said to me, come to the NASCAR trailer.
• 7:13
  And I and I told, I told them, you tell NASCAR you never saw
• 7:16
  me. I made it to the airport and,
• 7:20
  and Bill France, we're at the rental car handing in our keys.
• 7:24
  And he says, boy, you're in trouble.
• 7:27
  My point is this, those days are gone.
• 7:31
  There's nobody in NASCAR scaring us like Big Bill and Bill Junior
• 7:39
  and Mike Helton. They're all gone.
• 7:43
  The guys that scared us, they're gone.
• 7:47
  You know, some people can say it's a dictatorship.
• 7:50
  I'm like, that's a pretty strong word.
• 7:52
  That's kind of like Julius Caesar.
• 7:55
  But it worked because Big Bill, Bill Junior and Mike Helton,
• 8:03
  they were men and they scared the hell out of me.
• 8:06
  So here's where I'm going with this.
• 8:10
  NASCAR has got so big that is outgrown them.
• 8:16
  You look at Formula 1A Media Group owns them.
• 8:19
  Now we're dealing with $1 billion a year contracts.
• 8:27
  Is it time for NASCAR to sell to NBCI?
• 8:31
  Mean Fox bought a third of Rodger Penske's IndyCar.
• 8:37
  Rodger Penske owns IndyCar. If Fox TV can buy a third of
• 8:42
  IndyCar, if Liberty Media Group can own Formula One, has the has
• 8:51
  the sport of NASCAR got so big that it is passed NASCAR?
• 8:56
  The family hasn't passed them up.
• 9:00
  I hope not. I love Leslie Kennedy.
• 9:03
  Les. I love you, Ben.
• 9:06
  You know, you're one of my favorite.
• 9:07
  We've done Kenny conversation. I love you.
• 9:11
  I sure do. Miss Bill Junior.
• 9:14
  He was a hoot. We're playing softball together.
• 9:17
  He's smoking that cigar. The damn the boss of NASCAR,
• 9:21
  smoking a cigarette, drinking a beer, and I go where I'm sitting
• 9:24
  on the picnic bench with him. Back in the bushcraft national
• 9:27
  days. That's why it worked back then.
• 9:32
  Guys, I'm going to leave you with this.
• 9:34
  There's too much money involved now.
• 9:38
  Is it time for NASCAR to sell? I have no idea how we get out of
• 9:45
  this mess. All right, everybody respond
• 9:48
  right here. But that's my take.
• 9:51
  I feel horrible making this video, but I've been encouraged
• 9:56
  by my friends, my YouTube manager, Charlie Marlow, and
• 10:01
  I've got some pretty serious phone calls today, so I'm
• 10:05
  responding. I was going to wait for a coffee
• 10:07
  with Kenny in the morning. I feel hot.
• 10:12
  My heart's pounding. All right, I love you all.
