  Happy Thursday morning, everybody.
• 0:06
  What do you think of my new haircut?
• 0:10
  My daughter Brandy is so good. She works at Tribe Salon up here
• 0:16
  in Arnold, MO, and she has her own little studio at the front.
• 0:22
  And I said get a little bozo looking here.
• 0:26
  And so she trimmed her down on the sides, left a little on top.
• 0:32
  That's all. Just thought I would acknowledge
• 0:35
  it. Yes, I have a haircut ready to
• 0:37
  go for one of the biggest weekends in racing.
• 0:41
  Speaking of that, I I-55 Federated Auto Parts Raceway
• 0:50
  Park this weekend right down the road from my house, the World of
• 0:55
  Outlaw Sprint Car. Oh yeah, the wings, David
• 0:58
  Gravel, all the big boys right now.
• 1:01
  Tomorrow, Friday and Saturday, get your tickets at
• 1:05
  worldofoutlaw.com and head on down there.
• 1:09
  I'll be there next week. I'll be there on April 18th.
• 1:14
  Yes, I'll be there on Saturday, April 18th with my new Mobile
• 1:18
  One race car. My design is coming out next
• 1:22
  week. I'll be sharing pictures all
• 1:25
  over the Internet. I'm headed to Willie's Dino on
• 1:28
  Thursday. Going to Dino my motor get each
• 1:32
  cylinder tuned perfectly, do the very best I can drink a coffee
• 1:42
  this week and is bigger than I thought I was strolling social
• 1:49
  media this morning kind of like reading the paper and the
• 1:53
  masters. The Masters is happening.
• 1:58
  GG's biggest time that's big. Then you got today and tomorrow
• 2:06
  right next to the Charlotte Motor Speedway, the 10 tents Rd.
• 2:09
  course. Ray Everingham has the I Rock
• 2:13
  cars and the I Rock cars are back and they're just putting on
• 2:16
  a good race. Saw a great interview on
• 2:19
  Stacking Pennies. Love that show.
• 2:23
  Corey Lajoie's asked me to come on and I just haven't made it
• 2:26
  down there yet, but we'll get there.
• 2:30
  But Ray Everingham said, listen, here's how we do that.
• 2:35
  I Rock deal at 10:10. Tens is a cool name.
• 2:40
  It's a luxury Sports Club. Got luxury amenities inside the
• 2:45
  area there so wonderful Rd. course and the I Rock car is
• 2:50
  going to be there today and tomorrow.
• 2:53
  So Schrader, he's got an I Rock car that he he's kept forever
• 2:58
  and he's sent it on down there and he's going to run it, but he
• 3:03
  don't want any upgrades, Schrader said I don't want any
• 3:05
  upgrades. I'm going to run my old I rock
• 3:07
  car just the way it is. So, but Ray Everingham owns a
• 3:12
  lot of the I Rock cars and he's putting great drivers in them.
• 3:15
  And he said, OK, here's the rules.
• 3:18
  The rules are go hard, have fun. But if you run into each other,
• 3:24
  you will not be invited back. So, so if you do run into each
• 3:29
  other and your, your, your spirit comes out, you know,
• 3:34
  you're 70 years old and you're racing another 70 year old and
• 3:39
  you get into each other, you, you can, you can say, hey, Ray
• 3:43
  Everingham, I'm really sorry, didn't mean to run in each
• 3:45
  other. Here's here's some money.
• 3:47
  My competitive fire came out of me.
• 3:50
  Maybe that'll help. But Ray Everingham says, listen,
• 3:54
  we expect you to go, but if you start running in each other,
• 3:58
  you're not invited back. So there's a little inside look
• 4:02
  on how they do these IROC cars and how they race, race these
• 4:07
  old race cars, but don't run in each other.
• 4:09
  And if you do, you're not coming back.
• 4:12
  That's a lot of pressure that'll make you think.
• 4:17
  By the way, Jeff Gordon, Bill Elliott, you name, they've all
• 4:24
  been down there testing their asses off.
• 4:26
  I told Schrader, I said Schrader.
• 4:29
  I said that enough ought to put you in the Hall of Fame.
• 4:33
  I've been trying to get Schrader in the Hall of Fame.
• 4:35
  He's won a Cup race, he's won an O'Reilly race, he's won a truck
• 4:39
  race, and he's good enough that Ray Evernam's got him in the I
• 4:43
  Rock race. Schrader's response to me was
• 4:48
  I'm just happy to be trailing along the greats, happy to be
• 4:52
  involved. So Schrader's going to, I don't
• 4:57
  look for Schrader to run real good because he's singing, you
• 5:01
  know, he's just got a stock I Rock car.
• 5:07
  OK, I don't know if that was a monologue or not.
• 5:14
  I got to go and didn't I? So I said this is a big weekend.
• 5:19
  We got the masters, We got all the racing at Bristol.
• 5:22
  We got the World of Outlaws right here at Pevely.
• 5:25
  We got the IROC race at 10:10. It's just a lot going on this
• 5:28
  week. Something I see that's been
• 5:31
  playing out that I it made me just cock my head like, oh,
• 5:37
  Louie, like Louis the legend look, then mobile ears come.
• 5:41
  I did that Lily. My ears went like this.
• 5:45
  So I see all the Formula One people F1 I put on social media.
• 5:53
  I said, isn't this something F1 fans and NASCAR fans are no
• 5:59
  different. Everybody complaints about
• 6:02
  everything. And when you, when you think
• 6:05
  somebody's got it better than you, you're like, man, they're
• 6:09
  pissed too. They're all complaining.
• 6:12
  So I, I guess where I'm going with this is we get stuck in our
• 6:17
  own little cult. You know, we're like, like this
• 6:21
  is our area. You know, you see it everywhere
• 6:25
  in life. I mean, local race tracks, they,
• 6:28
  they complain all the time. NASCAR fans, they complain all
• 6:33
  the time. Well, lo and behold, I go 7-8
• 6:38
  hours across the ocean over to Europe.
• 6:41
  I'm over there in Europe in hell.
• 6:44
  They complain all the time. I don't like Formula One.
• 6:50
  They and it's just all the time. And now the big deal over there
• 6:54
  is, you know, if you read all the articles like I do since I
• 6:59
  went over to Formula One, I, I, I don't know why.
• 7:02
  Maybe it's because I like, you know, I was at Nurburgring or
• 7:05
  whatever, and maybe they notice that I don't know how the
• 7:07
  algorithm works, but now I'm getting all these articles on X,
• 7:11
  the social media site, you know, they're reporting that Max
• 7:19
  Verstappen's crew chief or team leader or team principal,
• 7:23
  whatever. They got lots of names over
• 7:25
  there. He's leaving.
• 7:28
  Max is, you know, thinking about leaving Formula One because he
• 7:32
  don't like the hybrid cars and he's over at Nurburgering now
• 7:36
  because Max is involved in the big race at Nurburgering that
• 7:41
  there's 150 entries, it's maxed out.
• 7:44
  No more people allowed to race because we only allow 150 cars
• 7:49
  on the track at a time, 13 miles, the tracks 13 miles long.
• 7:54
  So you can easily fit 150 cars on there and at times have a
• 7:59
  break so that they're just saying they haven't maxed out in
• 8:03
  ages. And now with Max Verstappen
• 8:05
  there, it's a big deal. But a lot going on this weekend,
• 8:13
  people complaining, the people still racing, baby, I guess I'll
• 8:18
  leave it at that. Tomorrow morning we're flying
• 8:22
  out. We're headed down to Cletus's.
• 8:27
  We're going to land in Sarasota, FL Get on over there.
• 8:29
  Bradenton. I got my helmet backpacked.
• 8:32
  Going to wear my Sunoco fire suit with a plain black asphalt
• 8:38
  helmet. All asphalt.
• 8:40
  What that means is it's not a dirt helmet.
• 8:42
  No tear offs. Got the hose blower.
• 8:45
  Blow hair. You know, I don't know if I need
• 8:47
  a little air. Hey, will I keep the windows of
• 8:50
  my Crown Vic rolled up or rolled down?
• 8:53
  I think I'll keep them rolled down that way.
• 8:56
  Get some air in, and if we pop each other, don't break and
• 9:00
  shatter. Respond right here.
• 9:03
  Everybody have a great Thursday.
