  Happy Friday morning everybody. We are racing the Sunoco Dirt
• 0:07
  car tonight in Lincoln, IL Lincoln, IL.
• 0:13
  This will be the last UMP dirt car points race of the year and
• 0:19
  boy we're pushing it close. They saying rain is moving in
• 0:23
  tomorrow so we know we're racing tonight in Lincoln, IL.
• 0:26
  I'll see you all up there and I am excited.
• 0:29
  No, no doubt about it. All right, breaking news in the
• 0:35
  garage area and it's finally really good stuff.
• 0:41
  As we've been scrolling social media over the past couple days
• 0:45
  or past couple days, man, oh man, just secretly little by
• 0:50
  little, something that's kind of flying by the radar is we have
• 0:55
  another another Cup team that is getting a charter respond right
• 1:02
  here. I'm pretty sure it's Legacy
• 1:05
  Motorsports. We were at Charlotte for the
• 1:08
  role and I think it was Eric Jones that maybe told us that.
• 1:12
  So as they would say, the demise of NASCAR is greatly
• 1:19
  exaggerated. So we have another team coming
• 1:24
  in looks like full time. So that means, what, 37 full
• 1:29
  time cars? So NASCAR's doing something
• 1:34
  right because everybody keeps signing up.
• 1:37
  They keep signing up. And that just makes me think
• 1:40
  that the future looks really good for NASCAR right now with
• 1:45
  another charter in NASCAR in the Cup Series.
• 1:51
  OK, if that's not enough, we just see that Stalantis hired
• 1:58
  Khalid to be the new Truck Series team.
• 2:02
  So not just is there another charter coming in, but we also
• 2:07
  have a new truck team coming in. So now their car counts getting
• 2:12
  bigger, just not in the Cup series but the Truck Series.
• 2:15
  And guess who's going to drive the first Dodge truck for
• 2:21
  Khalid? The the perfect driver.
• 2:24
  Old butter bean, man, he has earned it, huh?
• 2:27
  Butter bean has been announced the driver for a colleague in
• 2:33
  that new Dodge. I keep wanting to say Dodge Ram,
• 2:36
  whatever you think we'll call. I'm not calling the Stalantis
• 2:39
  Stalantis, but that's exciting. And he has earned it, man.
• 2:43
  He's won just about every ARCA race there is.
• 2:45
  And I mean, that's the gradual, you know, that's the gradual
• 2:50
  move, right? ARCA Truck Xfinity Cup.
• 2:56
  So congratulations to old butter bean butter beans going to drive
• 2:59
  that that new dodge truck and that's exciting and the listen,
• 3:05
  the the news just keeps getting better.
• 3:08
  Last night we read that Talladega looks like they're
• 3:14
  going to have a massive crowd, but the question is why?
• 3:19
  They said yesterday or over the last two days, they said the
• 3:22
  line to get into the infield at Talladega was as long as they've
• 3:27
  seen it in 20 years. They said the line all the
• 3:32
  campers right down the road out to the Interstate.
• 3:38
  Is it because the temperatures are cooling down?
• 3:41
  Is it because the the playoffs? This is it.
• 3:44
  There's only three more races left.
• 3:47
  So everybody wants to get a little bit of NASCAR before
• 3:51
  NASCAR comes to an end. Oh, that's not all.
• 3:56
  That's not all. I mean, I'm just like you.
• 3:59
  I'm like, what's going on in NASCAR?
• 4:01
  Why such good news all of a sudden?
• 4:04
  Not just that, but they announced, they announced
• 4:07
  earlier in the week. Drum roll, please.
• 4:10
  All three of the remaining NASCAR races, the Cup races are
• 4:17
  on free TVNBC. All right, man, I'll tell you
• 4:26
  what, we're going to see the ratings soar now.
• 4:29
  We're going to see I'm guessing over 2 million.
• 4:32
  We're getting 1.7 all the time. That's just nothing. 1.7 just
• 4:38
  seems like it's that every weekend.
• 4:40
  So the last three remaining Cup races on NBC and that's
• 4:46
  exciting. So super excited about all this
• 4:50
  good news and NASCAR. Let's go over it again.
• 4:54
  We've got we've got another charter, another full time racer
• 5:00
  in the Cup Series next year. Looks like it's a legacy.
• 5:02
  They haven't announced another driver.
• 5:05
  Tell me who it is. Respond right here.
• 5:09
  I think it was accidentally told to us on trackside live at the
• 5:14
  Charlotte Roll. We got that.
• 5:18
  We got butter beans driving the new Dodge truck, by the way, did
• 5:23
  you see that? Stellanta said.
• 5:25
  They're, they're investing billions of dollars over here in
• 5:30
  America rolling out that new that new truck or whatever it
• 5:34
  is. We've got a big line.
• 5:39
  NASCAR executives in Talladega are saying they haven't seen a
• 5:42
  line like this in a long time to get into the infield at
• 5:46
  Talladega. So why is that?
• 5:49
  And then, of course, the last three races are on free TVI call
• 5:56
  it an antenna TV and we know it's not free because there's no
• 5:59
  Free TV anymore. You're we're paying for it one
• 6:02
  way or the other. But all three races are on NBC.
• 6:07
  Exciting news. Who is going to win the
• 6:10
  championship? It's coming to the end here.
• 6:12
  Only three races left. Denny Hamlin is the only one
• 6:16
  locked in right now. We're going to pick 4 drivers.
• 6:20
  We're coming down the end. We got 8 drivers.
• 6:23
  Who's going to win this Talladega race?
• 6:27
  You know, Chase Elliot, he, he's not locked in.
• 6:30
  Neither is Ryan Blaney. So respond right here.

  You you might as well go to Vegas and and put your money on
• 6:39
  a roulette wheel. Who is going to win Talladega?
