"DP sports, I'm Mike Reeves after battling weather issues on Friday and Saturday. They were able to complete the masters on Sunday. Graham agar's has the story. John Robin has closed out a comfortable four shot victory at the masters to claim his second major title, adding the green jacket to his U.S. open crown became the fourth Spaniard to win at agusta, joining 70 by a sterile Jose Maria Osama and Sergio Garcia. Never thought I was going to cry by winning a golf tournament, but I got very close on that 18th hole. And a lot of it because of what it means to me and to Spanish golf. In the NHL, the Boston Bruins won 5 to three in Philadelphia to set a league record with their 63rd victory. Bruins goaltender, Jeremy swayman. It's hard to win in this league. There's a reason why this record's at 62, because not many teams can get there. So it's a special honor. The play in tournament pairings are set in the NBA in the east 7 seed Miami plays number 8 Atlanta. About number 9 Toronto meets number ten Chicago in the west, the Lakers are the 7th seed and they'll host number 8 Minnesota, LA forward LeBron James for us as good as we don't have to travel. We travel a lot the ladies. It's good that we get to stay here, but that doesn't make us be comfortable. The other Western Conference play in match up will feature number 9 New Orleans against number ten, Oklahoma City, New Orleans, head coach, Willie green knows what to expect from the thunder. You may not get as many shots as the scores are not going to be as higher. And we still have to attack, have tech mentality. On the diamond, the rays defeat Oakland 11 to nothing to improve their record to 9 and O pitcher drew Rasmussen. I think this organization has come to expect big things when it comes to the regular season and moving into the postseason. And so the start we're off to is unbelievable. Wide receiver Odell Beckham junior has agreed to a one year contract with the ravens Beckham did not play last season following ACL surgery and Christopher Bell held off Tyler Reddick to win the dirt race at Bristol Motor Speedway.

"Ryan Blaney Kyle Busch, Christopher Bell, Tyler Reddick, Ross Chastain, Martin Truex Junior, Joey Logano, William Byron, you name it. All the big names up there. You can cast a pretty wide net in this particular spot. So when you begin to try and approach the pre week numbers that were out there and you look at the favorites, you look at the value, I guess it makes the most sense to start with the man who won this race a year ago. In California native and Kyle Larson and how you feel about the way he's being priced pre week, given that the last 8 races we've seen at Auto Club speedway for Kyle Larson, he's got four top two finishes, but he does also have four finishes outside the top ten. I think if you look at last year's race, yes, he did win. And there's obviously you have to give him credit for that. But I would say he wasn't even a top 5 car. You know, I know that sometimes you alluded to earlier in the show that maybe 20% of the time I'd say maybe it's a little higher than that, that the fastest car actually wins a race. This clearly was a situation where the fastest car did not win the race. I don't even know that a top 5 car won the race. So I know that that recency bias and he won there last time and he definitely showed some speed. By the way, he showed a little speed at homestead last year. I think he clubbed the field. Is this where you're going to go about patting yourself on the back saying he was record breaking speed and that Kyle Larson, if there were no other cars on the track, would have broken every land speed record or whatever the hell else you said that was so ridiculous and erroneous? Yeah, I could keep going if you want. But either way, I still think Larsen probably should be the favorite. However, he did not show the speed last year that was a race winning car. He definitely got it done late on a couple of restarts where he fought off Daniel Suarez, which we didn't realize at the time was going to be a contender. So we may be discounting Kyle Larson a little bit, but at 6 and a half to one or 7 to one. I'd rather see him unload super fast and bed him at maybe a plus four 50 or 5 to one. And I think when you look at the way the odds makers adjusted some of the prices last season, given the uncertainty of the next gen car and the parry that we saw, we didn't see a lot of race favorites even after practice and qualifying if they had the most dominant machine through practice. They qualified on the poll go off at the odds that we grew accustomed two years ago and you kind of took me under your wing to teach me the nuances of the sport where Kevin Harvick could go off at three to two. I mean, those days I think are in the past. So to your point, Kyle Larson go out there have a great machine. I can't see a scenario where he opens up less than four and a half to one. So what's the incentive to try and run and better him at 5 and a half or 6 right now until you know exactly what he's working with? I think that's really important. I mean, anything that you're going to bet on from an outright and a matchups perspective. I guess from any perspective, you want to make sure you're going to your predicting where the market's headed because if you don't think you're beating the market now and you think you might get a better price after practicing qualifying. Well, you sure as hell shouldn't be betting him right now. And I think when there's very little downside risk, like waiting on Kyle Larson, like Kyle's not going to go off at three to one. He'd have to be a rocket to go off at three to one. And by the way, if he does, we'll go ahead and take him at three to one. But you know, I'd rather wax. All right, we're still kind of in the precinct. To articulate just yet. I mean, I'd rather wait and see him unload and feel comfortable with this car because there's a good chance you get unload and they could be off a little bit and you might see a higher price on him. You know, maybe an 8 to 9 to one, especially if you see other really competitive drivers like maybe a chase Elliott or Kyle Busch, unload super fast, put it on the pole or at least qualify well. That could boost Kyle Larson's odds up. So at this point, I'm not interested in Larsen. I do think he should be the favorite, but I think he's probably properly priced. Well, we may as well go well go from one Kyle to another. And I'm a little bit reluctant to do this because I think other than maybe Kyle Busch's wife Samantha. You've pumped up the tires on the number 8 machine for RCR more than anybody this off season. So let's see if he can live up to those expectations. But when you look at Kyle Busch, Tyler Reddick driving the same car last year, led almost half the laps and arguably had the best car on track until he got caught up in a muddled mess late. When you look at Kyle Busch shown an ability to compete through the first two races, misfortune in the Daytona 500 that we talked about at the top of the show and it was Joey Logano driving through his rear at the clash. But this is arguably been one of Kyle Busch's best tracks. We saw a little bit of movement early on pre week from 12 to one at some shops down to ten to one. What are your expectations for Kyle Busch when he gets to go racing for the first time as a member of RCR? Well, this is where you're going to have to keep me in check, Todd, because I obviously have a lot on him at 18 to one. I have a lot on his over one and a half wins. So obviously my personal bias is going to lie with Kyle. So if ever I get off on a Kyle tangent, I hope that you and all the loyal listeners out there kind of really back in and be like, well, Kyle wasn't actually that good, or he might not actually be this good this week. You know, listen, Kyle was trashed there last year, and he struggled to make finishes. I think that they were very aggressive in that 18 Toyota and they made some mistakes. I think that that's why he found himself with a lot of DNFs or a lot of poor finishes where he was maybe had a tire failure or a late spin that kind of cost him the chance to win. It wasn't for a lack of speed. Now, if you want to look at specifically Fontana, this is one of his best tracks.

"Was the winner at NASCAR dot com for about 15 minutes. Maybe even three days. I have no clue. No, it was a long time after the checkered flag. I had texted you and I'm like, are they not sure what's going on over there? Yeah, I saw you, I saw you send it, but I was knee deep in post race stuff. And then right after that. Getting in the car and I was heading back. I don't play around. But I mean, even with the photo of Joey, yeah. Yeah, that's pretty funny. That's pretty funny. Yeah. So something weird there, I don't know, aliens crash landing or something. Ross Chastain at number 9, which is not unexpected. He runs, he runs well now. He's good. Anyone stage two, so get some stage points and a playoff point to go forward with. So not bad. Hats off to number 8, Ryan Blaney. I don't understand how he finished 8th with the way that car looked. I mean, man. Yeah, I got a pretty good viral post on Twitter about it because I took a picture of the car and was like, this car somehow finished 8th, they told him 500. I talked to him about it afterwards. And he was just he was happy that he somehow finished 8th. I was expecting him to be upset when I saw the car and that he wouldn't want to talk. But no, Ryan Blaney was very excited that he finished so well. I asked him if this was something that he just now does all of a sudden because if you remember back to Daytona last year, he had the wounded car that he nursed to a playoff birth. Like dirt Bristol last year the year before he had just destroyed car finished 8th. He said, hell no, I hope this isn't something I do all the time. But very happy to finish 8th for Ryan Blaney. Well, his face is more aerodynamic. So maybe that was it. That's probably it, yeah. Makes sense. Daniel Suarez at number 7. So you got him. Didn't he spin it one time too? He is the guy and he didn't just spin. He spun late and he's the guy who caused this entire thing to end up the way it ended up. Because we had a pretty good idea how this thing was supposed to end. And then Daniel Suarez went for a spin with two laps to go. He got to AJ almond dinger leading in the closing laps had a solid car and this week we heard he has lost his beloved cat and as a cat owner. I can sympathize. Anybody owns any kind of a pet of any kind. That's a sad deal. As far as the Cup race goes, like you said, lead in the closing laps, look like he had a really legit shot at winning this thing, got caught up in that fracas that was going on. Is that even a thing? He has a thing. I think it's ruckus. Ruckus of fracas of fracas. That's a new word here though. We'll take it. We're making up new stuff here, but he got caught up in that little mainland last lap, but still finished 6th, had a really good run, and I know this guy does not like Daytona or Talladega, but to get his full-time Cup Series campaign started off on the right foot with a 6th place finish. I think that's going to really bode well for him going forward. Alex Bowman notching his 65th Daytona 500 poll and he finishes 5th. He's had the poll for every day telling 500. You see what I did there? I love it. But you know, with everything that was going on, he had some amazing avoidance on that last lap crash, by the way, to get that 5th place finish. He doesn't have much luck at these places, but I think for him to finish 5th, I think he's got to feel pretty good about that. He's probably wondering, when are they going to run one of these where it's just single car? Right? Do well. Can we just hammer those big trophies to the guy who wins the poll? Right. Well, they kind of do. Christopher Chris busher and his teammate and team owner, Brad Keselowski ran up front most of the day, but Chris actually ended up with a top 5. Yeah, Keselowski went careening through the field there and one of those crashes. So he didn't quite get there, but Chris busher did get there. And he actually scored ten stage points during the day. Like you said, Keselowski was up there throughout the whole race as well. One stage more. So a good day overall for RFK and Chris buscher brings a home and get some at least one of those cars and a good finishing position. Christopher Bell with his best career finish for the 500. And you know, he was good. All right, it's long. He led like 20 laps. He was in the mix. You didn't really see much Toyota action happening throughout the day, but Christopher Bell was the just the common denominator up there towards the front for Toyota. The Fords, my gosh, I'm having I'm at a bar, I'm having pizza. I look up at the screen and it's like Fords for the top 9 at one point. See, this is how Carrie covers the Daytona 500. Is that a bar ordering pizzas? Meanwhile, I'm traveling like 8 hours at a time to get to the damn track. I'm out there all day long. Well, I traveled. I was just up in the mountains, enjoying some

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. wins longest Daytona 500 in history
"Ricky Stenhouse junior had attempted 11 Daytona 500s before Sunday's great American race but when the caution came out and double overtime on the final lap, he just edged ahead of Joey Logano to take the win. It's been a dream for a long time and it's super, super cool for us to be here. Stenhouse said early in the race he missed direct because he was speeding on pit road and serving as penalty. Everything played out perfectly for us at the end of that. I mean, it's a Daytona 500. It's a long race. You're going to have good parts and bad parts, but we just, you know, we just kept pushing through. Logano said the caution came out just a split second too late for him to be the one that benefited as he and Stenhouse traded positions.

"Addressed this saying it's just flat out not true it's fake news so we'll see Obviously when you started testing a new car For crash testing like that. The whole point of it is to see where the weaknesses are in the car. So i wouldn't get too worried about this early on still if we're hearing these kind of Rumblings as we get towards the end of the playoffs. I'd be pretty worried about it. But they've got time to get things tweaked get things perfect. And that's the whole point of these tests at this point so i'm not worried about it at all. I mean you shouldn't be. I mean you're not gonna one right brian. I'm not a driver. So i don't i don't care. What do i care. So out of these rumors that they get bouncing around read it and alleys their places sometimes. There is some truth to them at the same time. A that's what the whole process is about is finding these weaknesses in the car. So if they're finding weaknesses in the car that's actually kind of a good thing because they can improve upon them Where if they got through some of the crash testing being weaknesses they might not touch anything or even addressing thing Which would indicate that. The car is strong and sturdy but it also indicates that maybe they just miss something and because things were going so well. They didn't think about questioning. Certain things and trying to strengthen them up. So i think of you're not gonna see a car on the track from nascar unless it's safe enough to not kill a driver in the nascar cup series. It's been since two thousand one with a dale earnhardt senior since we've seen a nascar cup series driver fatally injured in a crash so i don't think during the bins of wanting to have that happen and i don't think we're going to have that happen so i think we'll be okay.

You went from being all down on this magic mile being so excited about it with equidistant alert. While you got me back. You brought me back in. Jerry always always always this racist three hundred and one laps by the way not three hundred but three hundred and one equates to three hundred eighteen point four five eight. Miles equates okay Stages seventy five laps each and the remaining one hundred fifty one bom so three hundred one laps three we in case you didn't get it. We haven't again three three hundred one laps. Three hundred eighteen point. Four five eight miles. Did you happen to know. Did you have an brag. His lansky was the winner of this race last year. I would not have guessed that. If i if i sat there and thought about it i wouldn't have guessed it. Yeah i would have thought like hamlin or or harvard at new hampshire for the reason. Yeah and it's weird that they only have one race now but yeah. That's our while ago. Check out all the action. Sunday three pm. Eastern on nbc. Would you look at look at this. Because they don't have qualifying anymore. We actually know the top ten starting lineup. Well that's good. I like being able to give extra information on our show rights. We have it now. I prefer qualifying. But i guess we'll do it. This way I don't get this. I he just got a new contract. He's just been on fire all season. But he's dropped tenth in the starting lineup. For kyle larson. That does seem bizarre. But it's all predicated on what is finish. Was this past week. Kerry yeah whatevs christopher bell nine tyler radic. Who in all honesty. That's his spot. Not only his car number but he's pretty much always eighth. I've noticed you know somewhere between six to eight. Th every week i mean just consistently ryan blaney denny hamlin. Alex bowman our the next three on the list. And then we've got kurt busch chase elliott martin church junior and second and your pole-sitter by way of the nascar performance metric. You're gonna love this. Kerry kyle busch. Yeah i'm sorry that makes no sense. Why not kurt question. I think the difference here will be points position which is factored in and then also the fastest lap in the race would probably be the only other. Listen up nascar the way you set the field is stupid. it's dumb way gotta go to qualifying. This is absolute insanity. Man you have been fired over an almost everything in this show. There is nobody. You're not willing to fight absolutely. Why don't don't cross toby christie. No no no on your side man go for it. You do what you do. We'll get davie and here faster than you realize.

"The stages here today 14 laps 15 laps in that final stages 33 laps for a total of 62 laps. Now the fuel window that the Pentagon who you talked to. I heard 18 laps I heard 19 left and even 20 laps from some teams. They will grab their calculators and work backwards as much as they can, because we are at a road course, however. Checking in with some crew chief. Many said, You can have a plan in place, but based off what they saw in yesterday's NASCAR Xfinity Series race, you have to be flexible and ready to do anything. All strategies are up for grabs here this afternoon and part of that. Is because of the tire. Goodyear brought this weekend for the story on that. Let's go to my pit road companion people, stony. Thank you, Kenny. We have a tire here that wears out and that happened yesterday in the Xfinity Series race. These teams have six sets of Goodyear tires. One is on the race car after qualifying five sets in the box, but as we saw here This racetrack does wear out tires. So when you try to play together that fuel strategy that Kim talked about with tire management. That's the recipe you want to come up with. Just try to make your car being position at the end of this race. Run to Victory Lane. It's going to be really something to watch is very fascinating. We've seen it for the extremely series all these years. We've come up here today We get to see it for the first time since 1956 with the Cup series, we'll have it all covered down here on a beautiful 4th July Sunday here in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, is indeed temperatures right at 90 degrees, and nothing but pure Wisconsin sunshine. Think O'Reilly auto parts. For all of your car care needs get guaranteed low prices and excellent customer service from the professional parts people at O'Reilly Auto parts, So get ready for the fireworks. And Mike Bagley. I'm gonna kick it out to you in turn number five. I can tell you that, From our vantage point here, there's not a seat to be had. People are lining the fence there jammed in the grandstands, but there's a lot more. This race track and a lot of fans down there by you indeed, turn five is on fire right now, because we've got a lot of people a lot of pop up tents, lot of golf cart sat here lawn chairs. I mean, everybody has hunkered in here We are on the driver's right side of turn five across from us to drivers left, which will be to their left when they climbed the hill. Nothing but a sea of tents and fans to their right just to see if fans I mean, they said that we could teeter on six figures. As far as attendance. I say about three quarters of them are hunkered in here at this end of the race track, and it's so glad to see it so glad to have race fans back. And these Wisconsin fans and those that have joined us from points beyond They have not disappointed and they are having a blast out here in turn five. They're going to everywhere around this racetrack now for the drivers. What about it? Not since 1956. And that would think that okay, Nobody in this field has any experience here. But that is not accurate. 30 of the 40 starters have run at least one NASCAR Xfinity series race here at Road America, and of those 35 of them have actually won in the Xfinity series here. They include a J. Allmendinger, Michael McDowell. Christopher Bell, Austin Cindric and just yesterday in his first ever race here, Kyle Busch adds his name to that list, but he's going to have to. If he's going to win. He's going to have to do it from the tail end of the field. Let's go back to yesterday during practice. When Kyle put it off the racetrack he did and put it into the outside fence had to go to a backup. He did erect the primary car. He went to the backup car, starting at the back of the field. Same with Ryan priests. He went off in the kink in the same spot damaged the left side of his race car. They, too, had to go to a backup car and then in qualifying today, Bubba Wallace broke the transmission. Team had to make a change on that, so because of that, he will go to the back of the field as well. So with that we are ready to go again. 62 laps stage one will be complete. At lap number. 14 Road America in Wisconsin, ready to go for the first time in a long time. The Cup series is here. William Byron Kyle Larson, Row one, and for the start from Goldsboro, North Carolina. It's the motor racing networks Alex Hayden. It's been 23,702 days since the NASCAR Cup series last race here in Wisconsin at Road America. And that's about to change. Erin Jones, running back of the Green Bay Packers puts their green flag in the air and we're racing at Road America. William Byron. Two drivers, right tries to get away with the race lead 40 cars coming up to speed in thundering down the hill into turn number one and William Byron gets the advantage. He has the.

"Putting tournament birdie. That was great. No the birdies expected. And honestly when you want. The quality of the field will improve now at has. Because there's fedex cup points for the following year so that's helped but the best players are like. I'm not going a putting tournament. It bring you want the tournament have a little bite to it. Make these guys work. I you know so. Maybe the rocket mortgage. It's young in their history. they go. We don't want to be one of these tournaments. It's twenty four under par grow the rough but what's wrong with the winning score twelve thirteen in but but there's some trouble out there for these guys now. It's an excellent point. Definitely something to consider here for this week's tournament again. I think it is important to kind of read. What the players say about these courses as they're going through their practice rounds and all of that and i'm sure the nascar drivers will have a lot to say about road. America here up in wisconsin. That's this weekend's jockey. Made in america to fifty on the four and a half mile road. Course are four point. Oh four eight miles something like that whatever. It is up there in wisconsin. But this is a road course race. It's really interesting. We won't dive too deep into this one because then brian hasn't really had a chance to look at it. And i just kind of looked at it here this morning but this is the first cup series race or at least the top nascar level race since nineteen fifty six at road america. Only the second one time. But what's interesting about this weekend. Is that the xfinity. Series has been going there every year since two thousand and ten. Some of the younger drivers like a christopher bell at forty two one austin syndrich at forty two one who won last year at road america tyler. Rettig has a couple of top five zero. He's sixty six to one. Maybe this week you find some price. Plays out there in the cup. Series is expanding running here. Yes i would say. I don i do not see the numbers up yet for it. Unless you've got something but in the expenditure race. Keep an eye on the gibson because he's figuring this out and he's already won a road course event this year so in the expenditure i'd be taken a peak at tie. Gibbs syndrich always takes all the money as for the cup series clearly you look at elliot larson's on a tutsi roll the one guy who's very good and maybe motivated after the scary accident on the in the rain on the road. Courses don't sleep on true x. On road courses so he looks like he's what plus four fifty. I'd probably lean true exits way but elliott's a monster on road courses. Yeah i mean. That's the thing i'm gonna take some shots here and play. Christopher bell forty-one. Kurt busch at forty two one. He ran well at cinema and the most recent road course race. I'll take a piece of syndrome. Forty two one something small and radic probably and that'll be it and chase elliott probably wins it plus two fifty. Or maybe kyle larson windsor. Plus three fifty so it may all be for naught. But you know. I'm going to take some longshots here of the xfinity series guys that have run here or at least somewhat experience with the course i mean look. It's over four miles long. They're fourteen turns on this thing. Yeah it's a car race at its core in all of these guys are world-class drivers and even the guys who haven't run here. We'll figure it out. But still i'll take some shots at the guy that at least know their way around the course a little bit. Yeah the rokos events match.

"Know. it's so funny because mark echoed my good times and that's going to echo his too bad. That's exactly what i have written down in my notes right here. Kevin harvick finishing twenty second having a not great day. But then i think about the stat that you guys share during the broadcast of the fact that you know we're sixteen races in to the season and he's lead only thirty nine laps and hasn't even really sniffed a win yet the season and when you look at where. He was last season compared to where he is this season. It is very very clear that that team They need to go back. To the drawing board. Stewart haas as a whole But especially kevin harvick when you look at where. He was Last year compared to where he is this year You know certainly still in the hunt for for the championship in the points and everything like that but the fact that they don't have a win yet just is not indicative of what you expect to see from kevin harvick's so i think that that's definitely something that they need to look at. And then you know i had. I had on my notes that a few drivers that we're looking at great runs Just had that foiled for them at the end of the race from race incidents. And i have alfreido and mcdowell as As mark mentioned by christopher bell. I thought he had a pretty good ratio. He's a road course winner. This season and i was looking for him to my fantasy lineup. I was looking for him to do really well unfortunately had a late race incident and ended up finishing in the twenty somewhere so that was a bad day for them. To michael mcdowell got spun at turn ten on the last lap. He's going to have a top ten finish then he gets turned around and i think when he a. I want to say this though about kevin. Harvick's team you know his car. Got all messed up. The hood off of his crew members went and cut the hood of the car in pieces and gave it to fans. Oh that's cool up into the grandstands and handed it out to people that's making. That's making lemonade. And when you look at what happened today you know. It was not of their making granted. They weren't really contending for the win. They weren't one of those fast three drivers that we talk about You know today that that we thought for sure what's going to have a chance at the win so you look at that and you say okay yet. They definitely need to work on on some things but the fact is is that what took them out of the race today was really not of their making. So you know the other thing. I think you have to think. About what stewart. Doug ford isn't exactly set in the world on fire right now. Chevy with hendrick leading the way. In kyle larson their hot hendrick four wins in a row four for chevy in a row but joe gibbs racing hanging in there right. They've got five wins four toyota four again. They seem to be a little bit behind the eight ball. Penske is better than stewart. Haas and stewart haass's case penske has three veteran drivers. You know you have kozlowski lugano and blaney over at stewart. Haas ya got. Kevin harvick in amaral is considered a veteran custer. Sophomore season year for chase briscoe if harvick's not running well nobody's running well and right now. Ford appears to be a little bit behind the eight ball in stewart haas a little bit behind. Penske we'll dive into that a little bit more. Because i still think that's one of the mysteries that this year I'm gonna. I'm gonna give a bad time to everybody. That wasn't kyle larson again. Because i i i think. There was a point of evid ability in that race and keep restarted twenty-second at one point and we were sitting there. And he's knocking off two or three cars in a row and the next thing you know he's leading and thinking he can do that on a road. Course without the aid of caution flags or other. Weirdness you're not going to beat him and doug. It's not very long before. Were back at the road course. There's not enough time for teams to really go back and find enough to beat. Kyle larson if kyle larson goes to road. America and rolls off the truck like this. We're going to see this again. Yeah i think you know it's funny that you mentioned that doug that it's kind of call arson against the field because you're right every single driver. That was not call. Larson today had to be thinking. What the heck are they doing that. Were you know. Because he is just dominating everything and that's got to make everybody else feel just a little bit. You know small. Did you see him slip attire. Did you ever see that car out of control car went out wide even a foot. He was able to just turn hard right. Turn left and dr underneath them. Had good forward bite. I mean he never slipped. Tire never looked out of control. Any past karzi led the ray. What did he do. And it's not just winning back to back races. We see that happen a lot. It's the way carl larsson has won back to back races. He want all the stages charlotte and that race had three stage breaks so he got greedy and took everything and won the race there and here we just have to. He wins both of those and he was never really contested coming up. We will hear some audio from our winning race. Car driver kyle. Larson will also catch up with his crew. Cheat cliffs daniels right here on fast talk. Are you going forty miles an hour. This is a residential area. Sure but i'm on my lawnmower. Wait am i getting ticket.

Let's go to Brad McMillan. Thank Christopher Bells coming down Pit road IUs. No fuel pressure Right now. They try having trying to cycle through on the digital dashboard, But he's coming to a stop in his pit stall. Right now we're going to try to diagnose it. All right, so it could be a very, very short day here for Christopher Bell. If they don't get that turned around quickly as right now, Kyle Larson, pinch just a matter of three laps has pulled out to a four second lead. Mark. You and I were talking off air before we came on. There was the possibility he could go out and do the same thing that he did in the Coca Cola 600. I'm not predicting that he will. With this team is hot as they are. That's a distinct possibility. Doug, They have speed and you give Kyle Larson the front of the pack and let him have clean air. Where again As you like to say Clean air is king and he will make you pay for it and he's doing it right now. But again, we're still early. Remember, will have a competition caution on lap number 10 Stage one comes to an end at lap 20. And here we are in this race at this point, just three laps in and it will be for the next time. Bye. Let's go ahead and pick up through X again. It's kind of fun. Watching him charge up through the pack here is he had to start 19th last time around. He was scored. 13, and now he is headed back into turn 10 Rob Albright with a competition caution coming up at lap 10. He wants to pick up as many spots as they can. Now he'll run down Chris Butcher.

We'll talk about it very briefly. Right now. All three team Penske Ford Mustangs have qualified for the playoffs. Right now. Three of the four Joe Gibbs Racing Toyotas are in Christopher Bella's in True Exes in Kyle Busch is in that leaves. What has been One driver most dominant all year long yet to get in, because he's yet to score a win. Yeah, absolutely out of lost a nickel If somebody bet me that Denny Hamlin will be the last Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota to get the victory Lane here in 2021, but Alas, that's where we are right now. I said I would lose the same bet. If you talked about Hendrick Motor Sports. Three of the 400 Motor sports drivers have won already this year. The defending serious champion chase sell it. He's the one that hasn't gone to victory Lane yet for Hendrix, so between Denny Hamlin and Chase Elliott. I lost some money on that. If somebody would've bet me that they would be the last in their respective organizations to get the victory Lane right now, Chase Elliott is nine. Like Bagley, put your binoculars on the 18.

So we're gonna learn what that heat cycle met with Denny Hamlin, and I don't know that it's a mistake. I didn't have my my scanner over on their channel to hear what the conversation was, but we're going to see what happens. Denny's had an awful good race car. Remember, He's ran second most of this race to Martin Truex Jr. So he's gonna have that track position and we're gonna learn a lot. Every crew chief will be making notes to see what then. Hamlin's car does over this run absolutely will, by the way, another speeding penalty being handed out this time to Christopher Bell.

"January 2021 details the t mobile dot com Nbr 10456 80, the sports leader. Crash That's going to change the complexion of this year's running of the Daytona 504 sure, an update on the cars involved in just a moment it's growing. What we know. Is this Rusty? It happened at the front of the field running 2nd and 3rd. Eric L. Merola running second behind him. Christopher Bell on the bottom of the race track. Looks like Christopher got into the back of Eric turned Eric around and it was on. This is just a classic bump. Drafting Gone bad. Christopher Bell started bump drafting Erica Merola turned them sideways right into the wall in the whole thing started. I got tell you what I was really concerned about this guy's because everybody is so jacked up for this Daytona 500. We got a little bit rain coming. That's in their minds, and they started getting after down that back straight away and another wreck a major one in a straight away using we see these wrecks in the corners. But of late with all this bump drafting. It's been in the straightaways turning these cars loose. So right now, as it stands, we're up to what 17 cars involved in the crash starting at the end of the backstretch. Those cars Chris Buscher Martin Treks Junior Matt DiBenedetto, Jamie McMurray, Alex Bowman. Also out there. Daniel Suarez, David Ragan, Anthony Alfredo, Ryan Newman. William Byron involved. Ryan Blaney involved Kurt Busch, Eric al Merola. Tyler Reddick, Eric Jones. Those involved in the big crash headed off into turn number three. That was my favorite and my favorite and my favorite and my favorite. Yeah, you get the idea. We took out some of the sport's biggest stars in that crash way too early in the running of the Daytona 500. Now we're getting word from NASCAR that we need to bring this race to a stop on pit road. We have lightning in the area, the skies of darkened here in Daytona, and so NASCAR has instructed all of the drivers and the teams to follow the pace car that Corvette pace car onto pit road. And shut him down. And unfortunately, the crowd here is gonna have to disassemble is well seek some shelter lightning in the area within eight miles of the racetrack if we get a lightning strike We have no choice but to put it on pause and Well, this has been a grinding or halting start to the Daytona 500. No kidding, Jeff, if you just think about it, if these drivers would have been able to just hang on for another 34 minutes sweeter. Potential not torn up so many race cars. But as it stands right now, it's a mandatory 30 minute hold when there's lightning within eight miles of the racetrack, So in Marin weather delay coverage, by the way is brought to you by New Michelin endurance XT silicone wiper blades. They're real world proven for extreme weather performance lasting two times longer than other blades On Lee available at WalMart. Everybody has a radar. Anybody that is in this country can pull up a radar and see what we're dealing with here in the great state of Florida, and there is certainly weather all around the race track. There's some out into central Florida and out on to the West Coast. We do expect some of that to move this way. Our hope is because it is tremendously scattered that some of it will skirt us north some south and leave us alone. It's not raining. At Daytona do not gone would because there are certainly some cells around us. But again just as a safety precaution and when it has to be in play because you do have race fans here, and we don't want the race fan in danger, so we'll shut him down with Kevin Harvick. Christopher Bell got away unscathed. He still second Austin Dillon then Kyle Busch, Chase Elliott, Kyle Larson, Ryan Priests. Joey Logano was in it, but apparently he stayed. Was able to get through there and Joey Logano right now shows up eighth in front of Michael McDowell and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. It's tough. It really is so many race cars taken out out there and a lot of them that people had penciled in as winning the Daytona 500 today. That will not happen at all because of the big crash over there, as Mike Bagley described at the end of the Daytona super stretch headed off Into turn number three again under the red flag right now, which means all the cars that came to pit road and the teams began to try to assess the damage and work on them. They have to stop working on them because of red flags. So you cannot work on those damage Race cars while the red flag is out, Rusty, I'm gonna put you back in the driver's seat here, and you're gonna drive a number of cars during this little back and forth deal. You've had a chance to see it. Now I'm gonna put you in the driver's seat of the 20 of Christopher Bell. What happened? What was going on? Take us through it. Christopher just tried to bump draft the back Americom role. And now when I watched it and look fairly normal to me, they were pretty well in line. He didn't scrape across the bumper and turn him sideways. But when he gave that last little straight jolt, where he was just Get in line behind Eric. For some reason, it lifted Eric back of his car up just a little bit, unhooked it and it made a big time. Right hand turn. I don't think Christopher thought that he hit him. The way he hit him That would turn him. I don't think Christopher ever thought he would turn the 10 car Berekum alma role and send him into all the way. But it happened and that was part of my progressive keys. The race. I told this guy we were talking about it. I said, look. Everybody's got so much adrenaline flowing. Her body's still jacked up. They just got to stay calm. Somehow the first part of this race because we've been seeing a lot of Rex and the straightaways, and we just saw it again a little while ago. This is becoming the new norm for speedway racer where they get a little too aggressive in the straightaways, and it turns to driver upsets it they get in the wall. And I'm afraid that's going to continue. There's they learned from this, that's for sure. But I think that Christopher's gonna go back and look at it and go, man. I didn't think I hit him that hard. I didn't think I caused this. But it happened. 15 laps or complete is we sit under the red flag. The field has been whittled down drastically because of the big crash. 40 drivers started the race again. Involved in the crash. 16 drivers, Some of those were able to drive away so hopefully they'll be able to get those cars bandaged. Back up and get him back out on the racetrack. So for now, we are going to sit and wait. We're in a lightning weather delay again. No rain at the moment, but we are under the red flag. Every day. People experience mysteries that challenged.

I thought that maybe it might get a little smoky in there because they're touching the tire, but looks like the voice got it cleared away real good right now. But then, when he started, I looked like he might lose the draft a little bit, but now he's caught back up with Ross Chastain. As they come off it turned to and it looks like he's going to get back in the draft and be okay. Like back there. They work over in front of you. One driver in the middle and going back. Joey Logano. He's trying to hang on to a spot inside of the top 10. Here comes the champ to his inside Chase Elliott, that Napa auto parts Chevrolet to the inside.

There are an awful lot of Ryan Newman fans in the infield here on the inside of turn Number two. They were standing and cheering when he went to the lead last time. Bye. This time, though, it's Kevin Harvick on the point, Ryan Newman now will raise him to side by side battle with Eric Al Merola. That's for position Number two.

This is the opportunity to have a dream that gets realized. Rusty Wallace. It's one of the hardest things to do to win the Daytona 500. It is very hard. This is our Super Bowl. For all these drivers, they are all jacked up the ready to go. A lot of new teams out there. A lot of new Crew chiefs with different teams. It's going to be an interesting day. Today. We got rain all around us. Looks like we're good now, So I'm excited about that. But I'll tell you what. There's so much emphasis on this particular race at Daytona 500 because of everything we've been talking about the new teams, a new colors. But it's still our biggest race and man, I can't wait to see what's gonna happen.

Ah, lot of blue sky a little bit of cloud cover, but hopefully Alex will be in good shape to run the whole distance without.

Tyler Gibbs and Jack Irving of Toyota Racing Development's TD2 driver development program
"Now. Let's get to part two of our conversation with Tyler Gibbs and Jack Irving just this I want to give you guys a chance to put some names with some faces here people who are listening. We've mentioned Christopher Bell. You guys mentioned Harris and Burton. I was reading a motorsports analytics story today in which Jack was quoted very highly on Chandler. Smith just wanted to give you a chance to tell us a little about. Who'S IN THE LINEUP? Right now and we're the names. We should be watching it from the Toyota racing development driver program. So it's funny. I think we have some remarkable kids coming up of all different ages all different ranges But it's still development like Chandler. Smith is is a gifted driver. I mean in in we've been with Chandler for three or four years i. I don't remember how long it's been a few years. He's been fantastic. He's always been a strong late model. Racer Kinda in his family team was was quite gifted enabled to kind of compete at a very young age with some very high level guys in racing and then he transferred that into Arca adventuring end and has been fantastic and the more he matures the better. He gets Which is really exciting. He's similar to like a younger Jones in that respect where he's young and been around it and he seemed so much older in a car and so much more mature in so that is translated into the truck races he ran last year and and I have some pretty high expectations of him as he does of themselves but he's definitely one of our up and comers that is on the young side mean seventeen and still developing and then obviously there's the Raphael Lazard the neckaces that we've been with for quite a while and I think most people know of Kazan truck races now. That were pretty happy about. And then there's there's lots of kids that we actively engage with and develop in all different areas were lucky not geographically focused either because we have teams all over the place and that's helped us engage with maybe some kids we probably wouldn't necessarily always get access to so there's some good kids in California. There's kids racing for Keith in Indiana. There's just there's just a lot of strong drivers out there the thing that's so interesting though. Is that their kids and kids. You never know what's going to happen so it's still development. I mean it's it's People. WanNa say whatever they want to say about how what what it takes to make it? But they're a work ethic focused drive a passionate WanNa do it is all super important to to make it and at some point maintaining that from fourteen fifteen. Sixteen seventeen is very very difficult to do. Know we can talk about it all the time about being focused in wanting it and all that but the proof is in Monday through Friday. And how hard? They're working what they're doing and to to be on top of their game and and for whatever reason at times that lapses and you know you could take a great kid who's Fourteen Jesse. Love is a kid we've been with since he was twelve. I think thirteen stupid. How young that was East we're really excited about him and you know then. There's kids like Geo celts. Who came out of nowhere in dirt and had outlawed program in in our racing with us and pavement. That's a little bit kind of a different road that he traveled and then we have Holly Holland and Greasy Trotter. Who really come aboard and done a really good job in kind of in all of our testing have looked quite good still have a lot of development to do. You know there's there's kids we lost Based on Ford coming in that is painful to so. There's I think there's a lot of good crop of young kids coming out racing and as long as they all continue to work hard developing keep good people around him then hopefully we'll see him down the road. We really good group. We have a good team of kids. it's exciting to them kind of interact with each other watch the quote unquote older kids. Who may not actually be older but have been in higher level than others and back and forth and so he has Jackson. We're really excited about about our kids. You mentioned most of the ones I attend to hit their Jesse loved Yosemite. I think Logan. Cv also part of the lineup. I believe I mean so. Logan was Logan is not as involved now. We still are working through some things to see if there's ways to work together it's just difficult to the process is difficult and how everybody fits in where they go. I mean Logan is ridiculously talented. I mean it's it's just finding the path and making it work is always hard. You know I mean you look at the McNally Lineup or venturing lineup with I mean. You have Corey Haim and drew dollar and Michael Self Austin Hills Rachel H at hr e and in. He's ridiculously good. And He's twenty four with two kids for God's sake so I mean it's awesome right. I mean in in in in Austin Hugely Involved Maximum Laughlin with with a jury in there. There is an amazing group of kids in. What's interesting is we're kind of lucky. We have some really driven dedicated guy who want participate and show up every day. And I mean that's what's crazy about the performance central a lot of those that we talked about minus the group their local to North Carolina. Right you get into dirt kids in our dirt. Kids are Cap. GotTa be the younger kids we've ever had consistently with Daisin Ken McIntosh and Buddy I mean it. Just these they're all babies right in and so they're and they're out. There racing are trying to raise eighty times a year. I mean it's it's just an amazing amazing situation but I think we've been very lucky. I mean part of it is. I think what we've done is a little bit different and and our teams of Baden in. That's been a big part of it. That's it goes back to what I said before. The integration of the teams is pretty special and something. I think I'm probably most proud about. Is that all those teams engage in actively discuss things with each other to try to help develop the drivers.

NASCAR: 2019 Monster Energy Cup Guide
"Has been an entertaining eight races so far in the twenty one thousand nine Monster Energy Nascar Cup series playoffs. Two races to go and Phoenix plays host to the final cut off race of the year. All the drivers. Those six that we mentioned are gonNA make last last ditch efforts to make the championship race at homestead. And Moran's Woody Canes D Post and Alex Hayden are here to recap the Texas weekend and how it impacts what we'll see in the cup series this weekend in Phoenix Okay mic. Well Steve Post is here from pit road for the motor racing network. Alex Hayden is here from the booth for the motor racing network. And we're you're talking playoffs playoffs boys here. We go so after Texas things kind of got a little weirder than we expected we roll in now with two who guys locked in Kevin Harvick. Who by the way has won three straight fall raises at Texas Martin tricks junior got locked in the week before? Then you get down to the best of arrest Category Kyle Busch twenty two points to the Good Joey Logano twenty points to the Good Denny Hamlin now twenty points. Underline Blaney and Larson Twenty three points joints under the line and Chase Elliott way back seventy eight points behind the line. Let's start off with denny and Chase Steve. It wasn't a week ago that most people a lot of people were going Denny Hamlin. This really might be as year. He seems like he's peaking at the right time. One of those people was me I was I was just convinced. A one of the challenges and I think one of the challenges we've seen with Denny. Alex all up jumped out at upper case. Because you know any better than all of us denny is a the great race car driver extremely talented but one of the challenges. He's always had his in this playoffs and incomplete honesty. The question has always been his his his mental toughness. Okay and and I know a couple years ago. He lost a championship and it was like the wheels fell off from him. The wheels fell off from everything else. It didn't look like we had any of that now and it's still like the mental toughness. Is there it was just mechanical stuff. And things like that but Alex when we look at Denny. He appears on the outside that he's got everything in his life buttoned. The upper everything focused on it but right now he's got some ground to make up he does. And you know it's crazy because I'm trying to think back and I have been for about a week now for crying out out loud. Have we ever had. A playoff warner was had more twists and turns and that was just one driver but with multiple drivers. You're right what he won't get any Hamlin was the guy to beat and a lot of people already saying you know what. He's the favourite to win this twenty nineteen championship but after what we saw Texas. I think it's just a piece of humble pie. Hi for everybody that reminds us in this. Anything can usually does happen. If that unpredictable. Every single lap actually matters it's in for Denny Hamlin to to come out and have such a solid bid stage of the playoffs to have some drama now and find himself on the outside looking being in Steve to your point mental toughness. It's GonNa come into play so Dinnie at attract a one mile race track at his first Ever Cup series. Poll was right here. Sure At at at I s raceway Phoenix. Where we're going this weekend? He's got a little bit of history here he's got a little bit of comfort zone. Here doesn't matter where the start finish line is now the delay out of this race. Track is exactly the same as it's always been so denny Hamlin's gotta dig deep and he's gotta find that mental toughness right now and I think one of the things he can rest comfortably on which is really strange. Is that a week ago. He was in the same spot. Kyle Busch and Joey Logano were pretty pretty comfortable on points. And I think Denny's got a bank on. Well look what happened to me and maybe can happen one of those guys to and You know but but the reality of it is twenty points. Sounds like a lot but someone has a problem in a stage. Denting wins the stage. She's cut that in half forty point swing at forty exactly and I think that would be needs to look at. He had a forty point swing in Texas one of those guys in front. All of them could have a forty point swing and Phoenix. All right you guys were talking about the crazy. Let's get to the other half of that. Chase Elliott a playoff win to blown motors a broken axle and and a crash. Alex has anybody had crazier playoff stretch. Then Chase Elliott no next and I hate to laugh and I hate to make light of it because I mean tastes in that race. Doing all they can but they can't control mechanical failures and that to me is what separates nascar racing from other stick and ball sports. Yeah you need team effort unless it's a golf or or tennis or something of that nature but in racing you gotTa have the team you gotTa have the driver talent and the ability but you also better have some some hope. That lady looks going to be on your side because there are thousands of moving mechanical manacle parts. We're dealing with machines and sometimes things break. It doesn't matter how well they're built pieces of metal will break sometimes and chase Elliott's learning Dan. He's learning it the hard way but that doesn't mean he's out to me. That's kind of the beauty of the way we do things in nascar racing determine our champion you basically got three strikes strikes well he. He's used to be swings already. But that doesn't mean he won't hit a home run on the third pitch right so for Chase Elliott and his fans don't were you got one last shot at it come IFM raceway but boy. Oh boy he's GONNA I don't have to hit the baseball heart. He's going to have to hit it I long way. Here's crazy. Crazy to the guy crashed at the rover. And once that's my that was my thought. And after that role he he crashed anyone the race and I said this guy has momentum desk game set match. This is going to be spectacular to watch how good chase Elliott is the one thing and I chatted with chase I think it was Talladega. And he said the one thing about when you're you're behind his you know what you have to do. They go there when they roll that car off the truck into that garage area. They're going. They're just for they're not staged pointing. They're not doing this. They're not doing now. Alan Gustafson and chase Elliott know that they need to be in the lead on lap three twelve or whenever we throw the checkered flag and that's the only goal and so there is a degree agree that that does define a little bit closer what they need to do. Where when you look at the other guys? They're all within twenty three points. They could be in the middle of that race running calculators others and doing math because one of them had a bad stage or something chase Elliott. It's simple for him going to go on. Dia some woody. Let's talk about. Sim raceway specifically. You mentioned any Hamlin in his comfort level there Alex one of the things he said over the weekend I thought was really interesting. It is still the same race track. But with the way restarts there are now with the new positioning at the start. Finish line. oftentimes you're starting restarting in the turn itself. And then you're fanning out five six wide before you gotta funnel it back down again. That's going to add to the whole level of crazy there. It absolutely is and when you look at the the last handful of races that I assume raceway in Phoenix. We've had a lot of long green flag run so those restarts at the conclusion of the stages or any caution flags for that matter They're going to be absolute chaos. So I love okay. The the thinking is here because if you have the chance to be a part of the championship four on points you're going to be awfully nervous when those restarts come around if you're chase L. E.. You got nothing to lose your relaxed. Go get it but you gotta be careful all the way around this place because if you get into the fence racing a little too aggressively or balance off of another car and have time maybe cut a tire down. If you have to make an unscheduled green flag pit stop. It doesn't matter if you need points or if you need a win the bottom bottom line is chances are your race is going to be over. So there's GonNa be some puckered up race car drivers on restarts remember because nobody nobody wants to be the guy that drops lug nut on the four tire change or can't get the car review order. Have the Jack Fall off out from underneath the Jack Peg on the side of the car. Little little tiny mistakes can absolutely not happen if you're one of the championship contenders all right. Mike there you go alex and Stephen. I've just solve all the world's problems now we'll just have have to wait and see how it plays out this
