  Happy Tuesday morning everybody from the same place as yesterday
• 0:07
  we had to broken spoke in Ormond Beach outside of Daytona and
• 0:12
  they put on one hell of a show there every night hairball they
• 0:16
  usually start about 8:10 every night.
• 0:20
  I know you all know Hairball, man, they're legendary.
• 0:24
  They they do kiss. They do what Twisted Sister and
• 0:28
  all of them. So all right, here's what's on
• 0:31
  the docket today. We're going out to triple
• 0:33
  bananas. That's out 40.
• 0:36
  You go past Volusia, by the way, who won the World Outlaw race
• 0:40
  last night? I I don't know who won Monday
• 0:44
  night. I know Sunday night David Gravel
• 0:46
  won be out. What we do is we meet here, they
• 0:51
  start opening up everything. There's Dwayne Dwayne's a bad
• 0:55
  ass. He owns some bad ass bikes that
• 0:58
  he buys from Rusty and Steve and Josh and I don't know what
• 1:01
  they're doing here. They're getting ready to start.
• 1:04
  They're rolling in early. This is where they have like
• 1:07
  paint contests, sound contests, looks like choppers, looks like
• 1:14
  they're going to have a chopper contest.
• 1:16
  The great thing about motorcycles is it's it's
• 1:19
  sometimes about the people you know you're building your
• 1:21
  motorcycle, but you meet good friends.
• 1:24
  It's like I never meant Dwayne Dwayne's a bad ass from
• 1:27
  Maryland. Look at him doing maintenance
• 1:30
  right there. Those are the new Kenny.
• 1:32
  Good morning, Dwayne. Hey, tell everybody these these
• 1:36
  are the new hot deals everybody's doing.
• 1:38
  Look at that little. I'm going to show you that right
• 1:40
  there. That's makes air, huh?
• 1:42
  Yes, Sir. That's the new Hot I.
• 1:43
  Said where you want it, turn it on.
• 1:45
  Good to go. That's bad ass, Dwayne.
• 1:48
  So how many bikes do you got from Rusty?
• 1:51
  The wife and I have 9 right now, two more being built.
• 1:54
  Holy crap, two more being built. What do you have built now?
• 1:57
  This Alltel heritage? Oh, I'm going to tell you what
• 2:00
  little local. Hoppers.
• 2:02
  So he's got a hot rod here. And then they got big front
• 2:05
  tire. So this would be called a fat, a
• 2:10
  fatty front tire. But Dwayne's from Maryland.
• 2:13
  Him and his wife have a lot of fun.
• 2:15
  And what we do is we stage right here.
• 2:18
  We start staging it. Kyle Petty said it best.
• 2:22
  It's about the people. But or they sure do make some
• 2:25
  hot rods. OK, Tomorrow I'm going to be
• 2:30
  headed out to New Smyrna Speedway for Hoosier tires.
• 2:34
  It's called the Hoosier heroes. I was in Europe or I was on a
• 2:38
  cruise when they did that at PRI.
• 2:41
  So me and somebody else, Sebastian, we're going to be out
• 2:45
  at New Smyrna tomorrow morning. Got eight in the morning.
• 2:49
  I'm like, why don't we start a little earlier?
• 2:51
  Hey, Hoosier tires, why don't we start a little bit earlier?
• 2:54
  Since I'm on vacation, I'm not a farmer.
• 2:59
  So we're going to go out there tomorrow, New Smyrna from 8:00
• 3:02
  to 12:00, and then I'll be back here.
• 3:05
  And as you can tell, we closed up, but we'll open up.
• 3:08
  So what is Hoosier Hero? Hoosier tires?
• 3:11
  I think it's people that create content and celebrate each
• 3:17
  other. You know, Hoosier, you know, we
• 3:19
  just had Iris Saunders on. And so we're going to go out
• 3:23
  there and we're going to do some, We're going to do some,
• 3:26
  you know, videos and things like that.
• 3:28
  This guy's chasing me. Leave me alone.
• 3:31
  Everywhere I walk that damn, it's like damn crazy.
• 3:34
  Leave me alone. So, all right, the other story
• 3:38
  in the garage area is NASCAR again.
• 3:42
  What is going on? I need you all to respond right
• 3:45
  here. We did a big look at this guy.
• 3:49
  He don't know what the hell he did.
• 3:50
  He's still making circles, You know, You know, I was going to
• 3:53
  say duly, but I didn't want Charlie have to beat that out.
• 3:56
  They working here. What's the story with NASCAR
• 4:00
  right now? I mean, they went to Bowman
• 4:02
  Gray, went to Daytona, went to Atlanta and now circle of the
• 4:07
  America and every race is like a photo finish or they're all on
• 4:13
  top of each other. So when we did trackside live at
• 4:17
  Texas, Danny Hamlin was getting ready to come up on stage and we
• 4:21
  was, you know, talking about to the fans.
• 4:24
  We said, why is NASCAR doing so good right now?
• 4:28
  You know, there it seems like the noise seems like the
• 4:31
  negativity is dying way down. Like some of you that do your
• 4:37
  that's just that's yours, an unhappy person.
• 4:39
  But why, why is everything doing so good in NASCAR right now?
• 4:45
  One fan that is pretty knowledgeable said that tires
• 4:48
  are better. So we asked Denny Hamlin.
• 4:51
  We said, Denny, these people love NASCAR right now.
• 4:56
  They're saying it's because the tires are falling off, they're
• 4:58
  wearing, they're wearing out. And Denny Hamlin said, well,
• 5:02
  these these tires fell off 2 to 3 seconds makes for better
• 5:06
  racing. So respond right here.
• 5:12
  Why do you think NASCAR is doing so much better right now?
• 5:15
  TV ratings up stands look good. That is the big story in the
• 5:20
  garage area right now. NASCAR's on top.
• 5:23
  Actually, I saw some of the NASCAR people on that plane I
• 5:26
  told you about and everybody's smiling right now.
• 5:29
  But we got to stay diligent. We got to stay digging.
• 5:32
  So respond right here. Is there anything, is there any
• 5:35
  particular reason why NASCAR is doing so much better right now?
• 5:41
  I don't know what it is, but we just did Herman Schrader.
• 5:43
  Look for that to come out tomorrow on Wednesday.
• 5:48
  I better get my ass out of the way.
• 5:49
  I'm getting ready to get run over.
• 5:51

• 5:53
  That's what happens. All right, well, we we go say hi

• 7:07
  very much. And we were at Sturgis and Rusty
• 7:11
  was bragging on Bruce to me says Bruce is a badass and can do
• 7:15
  anything. So Bruce, where do you, where
• 7:19
  did you learn? Like you're the guy that reminds
• 7:21
  me of like, oh, we got something wrong with the house and you're
• 7:24
  fixing the house and then all of a sudden there's something wrong
• 7:26
  with concrete and you're fixing the concrete.
• 7:28
  This is what Rusty said about you here.
• 7:31
  Where did you learn to do everything like you do?
• 7:35
  I just did it. Who taught you all those skills?
• 7:39
  Years, years of experience. You know a lot, a lot of people
• 7:43
  can't do that. A lot of people can't go wiring.
• 7:45
  And I mean, you take care of houses, don't you?
• 7:48
  There was a lot of people that taught me things through the.
• 7:51
  Years. Who's your #1 teacher?
• 7:53
  Well, in the automotive there's a guy named Dale Summers that
• 7:57
  worked for my dad. Really.
• 7:58
  Yeah. And then in the in the
• 8:00
  electrical and stuff was my father-in-law taught me all
• 8:04
  that. And then the construction stuff
• 8:07
  just kind of learned as I went. Yeah.
• 8:10
  Yeah, me, me and Rusty. We, we hire people to do.
• 8:13
  He does. He does everything.
• 8:14
  And by the way, he's being humble with Walker Evans Racing
• 8:19
