- 0:00Breaking news in the garage area.
- 0:03NASCAR wants to settle the lawsuit.
- 0:07NASCAR does not want to go to court anymore.
- 0:12Why? What happened?
- 0:15There's plenty statements out there by NASCAR where they're
- 0:20saying we'll see Michael Jordan in court, we're going to win
- 0:24this lawsuit, we're going to defend our turf.
- 0:27So why all of a sudden does NASCAR want to settle?
- 0:32What happened? What did they learn?
- 0:35Well, first of all, let's take a look at both parties.
- 0:39We all know that Michael Jordan is a gambler.
- 0:43That's World News. Everybody knows Michael Jordan's
- 0:46on the golf course, gambling per shot, per game.
- 0:50Michael Jordan loves the casinos.
- 0:54But what is Michael Jordan really famous for?
- 0:57What is he really good at? What is What is in Michael
- 1:01Jordan's DNA? What's in his make up?
- 1:04That's right, you can YouTube it anytime you want.
- 1:09That last second shot to win the NBA championship, to win it all.
- 1:15That's the way Michael Jordan has lived his life.
- 1:18He's a gamer. He's a risk taker.
- 1:23And for for the, for the most part, Denny Hamlin is too.
- 1:26I know Danny very well. Danny likes gambling a little
- 1:29bit. So if Michael Jordan and Denny
- 1:34Hamlin were to lose the lawsuit, all they lose is a race team.
- 1:39And yes, while that's sad employers, you know they will
- 1:45lose their jobs. But what do you got to lose,
- 1:48really? Brick and mortar, you're going
- 1:51up and down Interstate 77 right there in Charlotte, NC.
- 1:55You see a really good looking 2311 building.
- 1:58Well, they can sell that building.
- 2:01It's close to Lowe's corporate. It's a beautiful building.
- 2:05They can sell the building. They can do something with the
- 2:09cars. But what are they going to lose?
- 2:12They just they're going to be out of race and they're going to
- 2:14lose some money. Now, what about NASCAR?
- 2:21This is what you all been waiting to hear from me.
- 2:23Why does NASCAR want to settle and what did they have to lose?
- 2:29That's why NASCAR wants to settle.
- 2:32And that's why the judge six months ago said, wow, I've never
- 2:35seen a group of people. Remember when the judge said,
- 2:37I've never seen a group of people want to burn the house
- 2:40down? Well, there's a real chance that
- 2:43NASCAR could lose the lawsuit. Well, what does that mean?
- 2:48That means that if they lose the lawsuit, that the judge could
- 2:52say, OK, you got to start selling off parts of NASCAR.
- 2:58Oh, yeah, because if they lose a monopolistic lawsuit, that means
- 3:04the judge orders them now. OK, NASCAR, you got to.
- 3:07You got to sell half of NASCAR. And that, my friends, means it
- 3:13all comes crumbling down. That's why all the car owners
- 3:18said, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, let's settle this.
- 3:20Let's settle this because all the car owners got a lot
- 3:24invested. Because you look at Rodger
- 3:27Penske, he's a little different than than Michael Jordan.
- 3:30Michael Jordan's having fun. He's making 40 over $44 million
- 3:34a year off tennis shoes. Rodger Penske, Joe Gibbs, that's
- 3:40what they got is racing. See what I mean?
- 3:45So if this goes to court and it's appearing more and more
- 3:51that Michael Jordan could win the lawsuit, that means NASCAR
- 3:57cannot take a chance. And I think this is something
- 4:01they overlooked. When you look back in and hey,
- 4:05listen, it's easy to look back, but in perspective, did NASCAR
- 4:10go, what happens if we were to lose this?
- 4:12What would happen if we win it? If you win, you just win.
- 4:17But if we were to lose, brother Rusty always said to me, hope
- 4:21for the best, prepare for the worst.
- 4:24Sounds to me like NASCAR's realize they need to prepare for
- 4:27the worst. All the car owners, they got a
- 4:29lot to lose Rodger Penske. Now Rodger Penske be just fine
- 4:33without NASCAR. But Rodger Penske's got a lot of
- 4:36sponsors. Shell, remember I told you he
- 4:39had the discount tires? All Rodger Penske's sponsors go
- 4:43through his businesses, Yes. Oil takes care of the
- 4:47dealerships. Tires take care of the
- 4:49dealerships. What else does Joe Gibbs got?
- 4:53I mean, I don't know what Joe Gibbs got, but what I know is
- 4:55all he's got is racing. So, you know, you look at
- 4:58Richard Childress. What does Richard got?
- 5:01So if NASCAR were to lose the lawsuit, I mean, the whole damn
- 5:05empire comes crumbling down because the judge will tell them
- 5:11to start selling off NASCAR because it is a monopoly,
- 5:14monopolistic practice. See, if you lose a monopolistic
- 5:18practice, if you lose it, that's why you look at some of these,
- 5:23let's say Microsoft, if a company rules the world, that's
- 5:29that's illegal. You got to share the business a
- 5:32little bit. And I want to tell you another
- 5:36reason why, because nobody wants you to see how much money
- 5:41they're making. I'm going to let you in on a
- 5:44little secret. You know how everybody's
- 5:46complaining that, boy, we got to have all this to make money.
- 5:52NASCAR is A and I'm a capitalist too.
- 5:55I'm a capitalist and so is everybody.
- 5:57NASCAR, we want to win, and that's not enough.
- 6:01Winning, winning is not enough to any of us.
- 6:03We also want to put our foot on your throat.
- 6:06We will also want to choke you out.
- 6:10Yes, Sir. That's serious right there.
- 6:13Because you never let your enemy back up because they might beat
- 6:16you up. Don't ever let your enemy up.
- 6:20And that's the way everybody in NASCAR thinks.
- 6:22Yeah, they're there for you. If you get hurt and you blow a
- 6:25motor, all of a sudden this team starts helping that team.
- 6:28A lot of that's a show. Oh, look, you're down and down.
- 6:31I'm going to help you. So you don't want to open these
- 6:37books up, especially NASCAR, especially Goodyear, the fuel
- 6:42company. Everybody's making a load of
- 6:46money, but they want to make more.
- 6:49And that my friends is why Michael Jordan 2311 went after
- 6:55NASCAR in the 1st place. Because they know everybody
- 7:00knows that everybody's doing pretty damn good.
- 7:04Let's put it this way. I'll land on this note.
- 7:09I'm just a little old Kenny Wallace, nine time Xfinity
- 7:13winner TV guy. But I made so much money racing
- 7:20the NASCAR running 20th that I don't know what to do with all
- 7:23the money. So if a 20th place running
- 7:29NASCAR driver will, like myself, can do as good as I'm doing,
- 7:34what's that tell you? In the end, Michael Jordan took
- 7:41it all the way to the end. He's a gamer.
- 7:48Michael Jordan doesn't want to burn the house down.
- 7:51He just, he likes to win. NASCAR had too much to lose.
- 7:59Respond right here.
