"Appeal it, come back a couple days later, so I'm going after it. Yeah, I mean, listen, I don't want to get into my defense here because it gives the prosecution time to plan for it. But I think that I have a very legitimate case in this. Obviously, you know, one of them being the word intent was taken out of the rule book. So what does it matter what I say? Obviously, he's appealing it, and what do you feel like his chances are? I think his chances are slim. Came out on his podcast and he said there was intention, he took essentially took Ross out. He was taking him with them. We should clarify though, yes, Denny's being fined for what he said. But that's also not the reason he's being fined if that makes sense. The reason is because he manipulated competition. It just happened that he admitted to the manipulation. So I don't think he wins the appeal. When you have it literally recorded that the driver came out and said, he did it on purpose. I don't know what kind of case you have. And to your point, in terms of the manipulation side of things, I think the way NASCAR has looked at this and what Elton Sawyer and others have said is that he's affecting other people. Yes. If you listen to Denny's peers, I think it was Harvey who said this past weekend. Well, it's getting to the point now where they have their thing. It affects how it didn't in this instance in Phoenix, but it could affect other people who might have the field. Well, like Bubba Wallace, when he wrecked Kyle Larson and it took out Christopher Bell and that was during the playoffs. So it certainly you have to consider the fact that there are depending on the track, 35 plus other drivers on the field that can be impacted by your decision. So I don't think he wins the appeal. Well, we'll see certainly if Denny Hamlin gets penalized for freedom of expression, he would probably argue we had another freedom of expression that was more about action speaking louder than words, I think, in the Saturday Xfinity race where Josh Williams is ordered to the garage by NASCAR and he decides to accept this directive by parking his car at the start finish line on the front stretch at land motor speedway and then walking to the pits then called to the NASCAR hauler for a long post race discussion. I should preface this by saying Dustin long's story on this on NBC sports dot com about Josh Williams getting penalized. It was not only the most read story. Most red NASCAR story on NBC sports dot com this past week, it is the most read NASCAR story by a country mile on NBC sports dot com for the month of March. Wow. So there's clearly a lot of interest in this. Oh, I don't think we've ever seen anything or haven't seen anything like this. Ever in a very, very long time. For what it's worth, it was a very viral moment. Yes. It got people's attention. And afterward, Josh Williams talked to reporters and he said, long time ago, when I was younger, I had something similar happen to me in a short drag and I stopped on the front stretch underneath the flag stand and got out and there wasn't

"Gave me just a really special race team to be able to maximize what we had here today. Fast car, great team. I know Kim you probably spent a lot of time listening to team radios in your job as a pit reporter. So what's it like hearing the spotter information going back and forth with the driver at a race like this when you have two guys who are so good and have spotters, TJ majors and coma Presley I don't want to say that they're like chatter boxes, but they give a lot of a lot of information. There's two things I think is a, I don't know how the spotters do it and then B, I don't know how the drivers do it. So a, the rhythm and the amount of information with which spotters of that caliber are giving their drivers information is wild to me. I and it has to come naturally to them or else I don't know how you study for something like that. And you get better obviously over the years, but they're phenomenal at what they do atop the roof and are able to see things in motion. And it's not only knowing your driver, but it's knowing the field and kind of predicting, in a sense, being familiar enough with other drivers to kind of know where they're going to go and what's going to happen. So I think that's a, what makes a good spot or two is not just knowing your driver, but knowing the field and being situationally aware, but then the other thing that I'm always impressed is that a driver can sit and be in the middle of a race and a pack especially doing all the things they're doing to race the car and then also taking in that information while also taking in all the information that they're seeing and feeling as a driver. I honestly always am flabbergasted when I listen to a radio at a super speedway like just the choreography of it and how the driver is processing everything but then how the spotter is giving them that information. It just made me think about when you talk about processing information, not just for the driver and spider bit for you as pit reporter. How do you do it when you're at a daytime or a Talladega and have to do on air reports, but also have to try to multitask and listen every day. I mean, it is similar to that listening to everything that's being said in your scanning, depending on the situation. At the end of a race, I'll probably usually typically lock in to one driver if I have a driver that's up front versus trying to scan as much when it's in the closing laps. Now everything gets thrown out the window if your section of pit road all four of the guys are up front and then you're just kind of like kind of trying to juggle, but it is hard, but you're looking for the things that are sellable and make for a good story. So I don't want to say all the information in the spotter is giving is throwaway information because it's not. The driver is using that. It's very crucial to the driver, but in terms of pushing the story further along for the viewer or the listener, a lot of the stuff that the spotter is saying in a sense is throw away information on a super speedway. Now, you do hear things in terms of spotters coaching drivers and certain things that they say that you do relay to your producer or the broadcast team to say, oh, this is a really good piece of information that would make the story better. But I would say, I don't know what the percentage is. There's probably it's probably 50 50 or 60 40, like 60% of the information is not going to be helpful to driving the story forward. 40% of it is in terms of what the spot are saying or a lot of times it's not even what the spotter is saying to the driver by the spider we'll talk to the crew chief too. And their conversation sometimes is more valuable than the spotter to the driver. So you're just listening to hear like if there's something specific or concrete that stands out, or maybe if you've been talking about the competition, maybe it's not as much. Yeah, specifically on a super speedway. There's much less usable information that's coming from a spotter for the broadcast on a super speedway, in my opinion, in my personal opinion than there is at other race tracks where you have to be a little more nitpicky and a little more thorough and combing through what the spot is saying to find those good nuggets because it's just so it's like a stream of consciousness. The good spotters at super speed ways that do a good job, it just is literally a stream of consciousness. It's second nature for them. So they're just, they're rarely quiet. So you really have to go through it with a fine tooth comb to figure out what's pertinent information to driving the story forward for the viewer listener. Now, that's not to say that, again, that information is not good for the driver. They need to know that stuff. But do they need to know every door bumper clear you here or every two back. But there is useful information if it is a spotter that is very skilled that almost will feed you what's going to happen next, sort of thing, or if they're telling the driver, you know. So and so is behind you, and I noticed earlier in the race they did this or that, that's the more of the kind of information that you would kind of pull from that to share with the viewer or listener. Really fascinate window in that process and you and all the other pit reporters do a really good job with being discriminating about what you tell us or what you think is the most important what you're most selective about. Tough job for you. Tough job for them and the drivers. And I don't want to disparage anyone here and you just said door bumper clear and that made me think about your spotters out here who have voices and have podcasts. So hopefully they won't take any offense to that. What I'm about to say. I'm Tyler and still clear thing up. There is side Tyler now, one back on the bottom. One bottom palette is going to pull him back. He's got a quarter. I don't have the help on exit still.

"So many memories greeting over there at the legends car and racing and having a big time and dreaming of going straight at the quarter mile and going on to the big track. That was always a dream to do it and to finally win here. Mean so much to me personally. I don't know if you feel this way, but nothing makes me feel older than Joey Logano. Two time cup champion who's what all of, I think he's 33 this year. Yeah, maybe. Talking about like this whole thing in Atlanta Motor Speedway. Yeah, definitely made me feel old, but then it was a good reminder of how many drivers cut their teeth at Atlanta on the shorter track. And then also the fact that he lived, I believe in the condos above whatever turn that is for a period of time. Definitely felt old and it was also a good reminder how long Joey has been in the sport for as young as he is. And it is brought up often I think just how early he got his start in cup racing and the fact that it took this long to recent Atlanta, but then just the trajectory of his entire career, and he's talking about a full circle race at this point. To me, that's something that Kevin Harvick or a Denny Hamlin at this point in their career if they were to have a one like that talking about full circle. I don't know that your full circle when you have, I would guess ten years still ahead of you in your career, which I would guess is at least ten years for Joey. Left racing. So yeah, I got a chuckle out of it too. Yeah, I mean, it's funny, you say it that way, because I hadn't thought about it in that perspective. But yeah, he's going to be 33 this year. I mean, he could probably what Harvick is 47. 47, you look at Jimmie Johnson, who semi retired, but back for a little bit for a handful of close to that age two, 40 8, 47 around there. So certainly. And then there were past legends that raced into their 50s, so he could make what he wants of it, but he certainly has, I would think a solid competitive ten years left in the Cup Series. Again, what makes this unique with Joey Logano is no one has started earlier, literally, and I remember the 2009 Daytona 500, he was the youngest starter in NASCAR history in the biggest race of the year. He was 18 years old. I think there were times early in his career where it certainly didn't seem as if he might not even get a chance at being a champion or being a winner in the Cup Series after a few rough early seasons at Joe Gibbs Racing. But this was another example Kim of just how sublime he is is super speedway racer. His battle with Keselowski. Two of the top 5 super speedway racers in NASCAR and producer Zach tanza already sent a really interesting note that he thought that this was another example of how Joey is like the perfect mixture of Kyle Busch's racecraft Ross Chastain's aggression, Jimmy Johnson's kind of brains and speed. Like the Joey's kind of developed into this really just prototypical race car driver. He's a bit like a Frankenstein as you pull all those pieces of the different drivers, but he's showing that he deserves to be where he is and the fact that we're talking about he still could have ten good competitive years left is attributed to those kind of facets. One of my favorite quotes in last year's series that you and I did was that with his helmet off, you know, Joey's a nice guy. He's a nice guy. But when he puts his helmet on, he's a jerk. I said that. You said that. And it hit me because it's so true. And you don't really think about it because we deal with drivers so frequently and with so much more frequency out of the race car than we do in the race car. I mean, we're not talking to them on the radio. We're listening to them. And so I don't think of Joey Logano as a jerk by any means. But then you really think about when he puts on the helmet and what he does behind the wheel and he is. He's a bit of a jerk and kind of do what does what he wants personality, but he is has crafted himself into, I don't want to say the perfect race car driver, but he has all these attributes that we singularly give to other drivers, but he has kind of collected them in this basket for himself and is a great kind of mix of everything. I'm glad you brought this up about the jerk side because Kyle Busch called Joey Logano two faced after I believe is the clash of this year. And Logano has this great SiriusXM NASCAR share, the segment that he does every week on the morning drive. Logano like gleefully sort of accepted that and said, yeah, I am too faced. And that was the point I was trying to make on race for the championship. I have to track Joey Logano is a very gregarious personality. He's very personable. Joey Logano on the

Logano passes Keselowski on last lap, gives Ford Atlanta win
"Joey Logano and Brad Keselowski battled side by side cleanly for almost 50 laps. We both know we're good at this. I feel like Brad is one of the top 5 best speedway racers on the racetrack, but Logano pulled away on the final lap for the win. I knew we were going to raise the heck out of each other and I think we both understand it. We want to win. You kind of leave the feelings at the door.

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.

And that is how the 65th great American race ended on Fox. It was a double overtime race at extended it more than 12 laps, a big wreck happened behind Stenhouse and Joey Logano that made it basically a three car finish with Christopher Bell, Annapolis native Travis Pastrana involved in that final wreck, Bubba Wallace, one of 21 drivers to grab a lead in this race, but would finish 20th, Ross Chastain, Brad Keselowski, they won prior stages to collect points in what is NASCAR Super Bowl.

We're seeing delays on the inner loop back to university boulevard traffic moving pretty well in both directions on the beltway over in prince George's county. Volume delays both directions over on the BW Parkway they do begin at four ten and Riverdale through the beltway, a better ride winter north of one 97. Southbound two 70 carrying a bit of volume coming down from urbana. It breaks up nicely after one 21 at clarksburg, no current delays in either direction over on route 15. In Virginia, we are slow on the inner loop just a minor volume delays coming down from the Georgetown pike over the American legion bridge in a Montgomery county. Once you clear the bridge, traffic opens up nicely, but on the outer loop, leaving the American legion bridge on the Virginia side, a bit of a distraction we do have a broken down tractor trailer on the right shoulder. There is a V sign board and back of it, along with a tow truck, but folks are slowing down the look, seeing what's going on, keep it moving if possible.

"I didn't see anything that really stuck out, you know? In Ross looked pretty laid back, the track House team has had so much attention on them. I think they were used to it. It was just another thing. You know, I didn't see anything particular practice. He went P one right off the bat. I mean, it shows preparation showing up, you know, just knew how to rip a lap off right away. So to go to your question, no, I didn't see anything. The one instance in which we saw championship contenders get together during this race was Ross Chastain and chase Elliott and I thought it was interesting how both reacted to it. Chase replayed it, it seemed like over and over again in the car. He was asking his team on the radio, did I do anything wrong? And then afterward, despite many questions, and much prompting, he sort of refused to take a stance on. Eventually said that he thought what Ross had done was unnecessary, but he didn't really blame him. And Chastain was very much the way Ross is all the time. Like I saw a gap, I took it and he moved down too late. Sorry, don't come across my nose when I'm trying to pass you on the inside. That's on you. How did you see that incident? So I actually think the incident itself is part of 50 50, just like the way that all designed and the restart and the dog leg and the angles, I feel like what Shakespeare is doing what everyone had done all three races all weekend. Where Ross had done was pretty normal. I think particularly maybe you could say like, hey, when he's coming across you like that, some guys would be like, hey, let's just lift here for a second. It's a better part of our. He's just sort of plowed through it. Or even tried to steer left a little bit, you know, to avoid him hitting him, but he didn't do that either. He just kind of helped his ground. That's Ross. So I could see that a little bit. I think you still would add contact, but you probably could have had a result with a 9 doesn't spin across his nose. The other thing that was interesting is how the one was there. Because how early it was in the restart. So we do a competition called NASCAR every Sunday morning before the broadcast. And there was that close call between Thai Gibbs and with Riley herbs there where he kind of went below before the line. Right. And it was sort of like judgment call and they admitted it is a judgment call and they admitted that because of how that's on an angle and it sort of awkward how that works at Phoenix where the start finish line is. It's got to be a judgment call because it can't be other places where it sort of straight and there's a line right there. And so if you go below that line that you're obviously out of balance because the other thing is that because there's a shortcut, you're supposed to reference off the cars in front of you and not break a plane to the left by before the start finish line. But because the cars are funny you could be taking the track or one car is taking the track and one's diving below the right after start finish line. It's really tough to tell. Who's breaking the rule or not? Basically going left too early. So those restarts become so important it's hard to pass at that place. I think there's something there that NASCAR maybe has to look at about that this particular chat because what we saw there is only going to get worse. If we don't do something to stop it because I wonder, I haven't replayed or looked at it. But I wonder when the one turned down, if that makes sense. Yeah, but how did he get to the night? Why was he a great restarter? He's got a crazy start on this. The next gen car though I will say this is fairly easy to put power down and get through the gears. So you know I've missed you. You know what I mean? So I'm just like the 9 already crowding to the left and he cut even lower. Like there's all this questions and I have to replay it. I mean, we probably could bring it up and I could give you a better answer on this. That was something that crossed my head of just like, huh, but why was he there? Yeah, let me look it up. Here we go. I found it. So chase Elliot's back and the third row. Ross is in the fourth row. They're both on the bottom. We start the 24 William Barnes in front of the 9. So the 9 stain in line with the 24. Okay, so Ross. All right, so he didn't go to after the line. Yeah, so no. In that case, it's 50 50 and possibly, oh, well, he does kind of go a ticket for him. It's Ross Chastain. Of course he's a little bit. He starts turning left a little bit before the line. So that's the question. And I was watching this yesterday now is thinking about it in terms of chase Elliott was saying about it. And when I went back and looked, he was the highest ranked championship car at this moment. I think he was running 5th. And I believe legato was 6th in Chastain was 8th. So I wonder, I don't know if chase Elliot had been this high in the standings at this point. And this was the beginning of the final stage. They kind of played strategy to put them in this position. I wonder if he was at that point, just set on. I've got to do everything I can to maintain position. I can't give up positions. And maybe he didn't get enough of a reminder that, hey, Ross Chastain is behind you and he might become in like a freight train on this restart and if he is, there's still a 120 laps to go, maybe don't force the issue. Yeah, no, I think that's a very valid, very valid point. And you just sort of reacted. Chase Elliott did. For chase, I wonder if he plays that and thinks, you know, I probably would just one off in the corner and fought him off through the corner. You know, instead of trying to block down the left, but I mean, it also could have been one of those things where he didn't have the fastest car. He knows he doesn't have the fastest car. He's got put in this position where if he can just stay in front of them. All his championship contenders. Maybe for some way this all works out where he's they get dirty air and king ever get by. I think this could potentially be some of the thought process of like, I've got to keep this track position, which is why you make the move down to block. Yeah, that's kind of what I was thinking. All right. So as I mentioned, we're a few days after the race. I don't want to diminish several things that occurred, of course, the tragedy involving coy Gibbs and how Christopher Bell and the Joe Gibbs Racing teams gamely race through despite that news. And of course, Kyle Busch's final start, a lot happened in this race, but a few days past it. So I wanted to spend a little bit of this podcast looking ahead and we're going to talk a little bit about 20, 23 and next gen for next season. But before we get to that Parker, I just want to put a bill on Joey Logano and winning his second championship.

"Two races if you intentionally. So when you when you penalize Bubba Wallace, it sets an example for others, right? And as far as pushing Kyle arson, I got no problem with that. I mean, whatever. Nobody got hit. Nobody got hurt. I personally don't think throwing punches. I think it's silly. I don't think we need it in our sport to be successful. I just don't think it has a place. You want to go there and push somebody and things happen, things happen. But I think there's a limit to that. But I got no problem with Bubba Wallace going and confronting him. I wasn't, you know, I haven't gone back and watched a replay. I wasn't when I was watching the whole thing. I wasn't offended by, I didn't think he did anything that was like crazy to the official. No, he just pushed his hand away when the official put his hand on him and tried to direct him toward the and even at that. That's almost like, hey man, I'm fine. Yeah. But maybe I didn't watch it at multiple times. But he needs to be held responsible, and people need drivers need to know that retaliation reaches a point where it's not acceptable. And that was not acceptable. And he'll have to whatever NASCAR decides he'll have to accept it because there's really no, listen, I appreciated him saying, you know, I lost my steering and but I don't think there's any we had data showing wide open in the gas. If you don't have steering, you're not wide open in the gas. That's an immediate response. And I'll say this too. And I've said this to you many times. I don't hold a driver responsible for what they say as soon as they get out of a race car. I don't go back and say, well, you said no, when you got that much emotion and you got that many things going on up in here. And all the effort, all the work, all the dedication, your own television, you're trying to represent your sponsors, you got all these things happening at once. I don't really care what bubble wall is it. It doesn't matter to me. I would have liked to see him show some remorse, but at the same time, I'm not going to hold that against him because it's so much emotion. It's so much emotion. And listen, good people can do wrong things. You know, it's competition and competition brings out the worst in all of us. I mean, that's why we have so many rules to be honest with you. It's because competition brings the worst out in us as crew chiefs as engineers, as team members, as drivers. It brings out the worst of us. We do things that we know are wrong. We know they're wrong. But we do them because in the interest of winning. And it's a tough situation. I think bubba has done an incredible job this year. He's brought this year, Bubba Wallace is the best he's been. He's shown what he can do in a race car. Did it again on Sunday? Yeah, one stage one. Yeah, he's becoming the driver that you want to have on your team that sponsors want to be part of. He's becoming that guy. And he's showing people what he can do. And this was a step back. He'll overcome it. He'll be fine, but it's probably gonna hurt for a little while. I want to wrap up by getting a homestead. And we mentioned chase Briscoe. He had that amazing comeback and now goes into homestead. It's a track he really likes. And on the flip side, we've got Hendrick motor sports. William Byron had a very up and down day, finishes 13th after pitting from 11th before the last restart cava strange move, but I guess it didn't hurt him too badly. He's 6 points below the cut line, but then as you mentioned Jeff, I mean, regular season champion chase Elliott just inexplicably mediocre finishes 21st loses 14 points off of his lead entering round of 8, still up by 17 points, but it seems as if he was almost telegraphing this at the roval where he didn't strike an air of confidence about the round of 8 in these next two tracks. Does he ever strike? He doesn't. He doesn't, but it felt like even this was a lot for him in terms of the Debbie downer. That's just who he is. I mean, his personality is, he's suspect that things are going to work out. I don't think he's ever going to say, yep, this is us. Denny's like, yep, this round's perfect, yep. I don't think chase Elliott's ever going to be that guy. It's just his personality. And I think that's part of what makes him great. I think that you have to recognize your strengths and weaknesses. And that attitude that Chase has brings him strength, even though it doesn't show strength, it brings him strength because it may seem work. Puts pressure on his team, keeps him hungry, right? All those things. So Mark Martin was the same way. I mean, Mark Martin was, he'd run third and world was coming. Oh, I can't drive. I forgot how to drive. I'm horrible. That kept him hungry. And so back to the way Byron thing, you know, I thought that was a strange call also that it was the driver's decision, apparently. Well, but here's but here's what I'm going to say. We talked earlier about drivers drive by field. He was feeling something and he was nervous that not only was he not going to go forward, he was going to go back. So he drove the he drove him down pit road, and we don't know what the result would have been. But it has been worse. Correct. He thought so, certainly. Right. So it's easy to say, well, he lost two spots, but he might have lost 8. Yeah. Because he was dealing with something that he was like, look, I know we're giving up track position. I know we're going to do that, but we need to do it. And I'll give this crew chief credit. There's times you got to trust your driver. There's other times you got to say, nope, we're not doing that. And here's why I need you. This is when I need you to be your best. But he trusted his driver and we don't know how that result would have ended up either way, but if William feels like that's what he needs to do, then if you can, that's what you needed it. So some questions for the Hendrick drivers to answer going into homestead. Denny Hamlin goes into homestead with a 6 point lead on the cut line in fourth and points. And as you mentioned, came into this round with a ton of swagger said all these tracks were P one for him. But he struck a little bit of a sense of concern about homestead because he said that at that recent test, he felt as if they unloaded fastest, but by the end of the second day, everybody had kind of caught up. So how do you see things unfolding for Denny Hamilton? I really saw a day at Vegas to start 31st and end up finishing top 5. How many points he gained 11 points. So in 6 points above the cut line now. Yeah, so yeah, I mean, that's a solid day. I mean, not a great day. Joey had a great day, but that's a solid day. And they got off to a slow start, qualified poorly didn't let that prevent them from doing what they needed to do. Got up front pretty quickly. You know, it's going to be interesting. I think every now and then that chase Elliott is going to be the guy that can dominate and win the championship. And then I go right back to like, I don't know. Like I just don't know. Like theme of the year, right? I don't know. But eventually, two weeks in a row qualifying poorly for Denny, they can't do that three more weeks. Now you might get by with a Phoenix because it only matters

"Looks like to be bubba hangs a left. To retaliate. And I got a problem with that. You're going. As fast as they're going and you hang a guy in the right way to quarter pound. That is exceptionally dangerous. That's racing right there, Larson's fault for sure. Text out Christopher Bell. That's exceptionally dangerous move. I just can't. I just can't. That's not right. I mean, Kyle Larson clearly messed up. It got bubba in the wall. That's all Larson, but a retaliation in the right rear quarter panel on a mile and a half race track. That is exceptionally dangerous. Tell us why you reacted that way and why what Bubba Wallace did and hitting somebody in the right rear at speed. Like why that's wrong? Well, it's an exceptionally dangerous move to catch somebody in the right recorder panel and turn them driver's side door into the wall. And not only into the wall into own coming traffic. At the speeds that they're going, that's just not an acceptable retaliation. It crosses the line of what anyone can consider to be a reasonable response. And so he exposed collars into something that Kyle Larson, Kyle Larson messed up. That wreck was Kyle Larson's fault. In my view, but he didn't deserve to be exposed to the level of danger that he was exposed to. And Christopher Bell damn sure didn't. So I've been there. And most of us, I would be willing to say as humans have been in situations where you get so mad, you lose it for a moment. I fully understand it, right? But we have to hold our drivers to a level of accord. They have to be held responsible for their actions. And it does matter. How fast you're going. It does matter what racetrack your own. It does the circumstances do matter. So it's just not a reasonable response. Kyle Larson wrecking. I mean, there's no debate in that. But the response wasn't reasonable. And it just exposed too many people to things that weren't necessary. So even though bubble was claiming that he didn't have steering, it seems fairly obvious that this seemed to be an intentional move to wreck Kyle Larson. Bubba Wallace then leaves his car, walks on a hot track approaches the number 5 Chevrolet puts his hands on Kyle Larson shoves him a few times and then refuses an official directing him toward a safety vehicle. And then also in his interview with Marty Snyder, Bubba Wallace essentially shows no remorse. So there's a lot here for NASCAR to digest as they consider how to address this. And how should NASCAR address it? Is a suspension possibly on the table here for Bubba Wallace? That's a great question. Listen, I think that I think a fine a penalty is coming. There's some sort of penalty coming. There's just no way it's not. I was shocked years ago when Carl Edwards intentionally hooked Brad Keselowski at Atlanta. NASCAR response to that was unacceptable. Yeah, that was probation for Carl Edwards, and that was it. I mean, that was ridiculous. I mean, he put him in a really, really bad spot in fans in a bad spot too. And I was shocked. And I'm not a guy that likes to go back and relive things. We did this. They did that because times change and rules change. But that was wrong. And that was a wrong approach. And I don't think NASCAR is going to make that mistake again. I don't think that with all the conversation about safety. They're not going to make that mistake again. I don't know what the penalty is going to be. I think that you can make a case that here's where I struggle with penalties. So last week, Cole Custer got penalized for doing what he was told to do. Cole Custer has no choice but to do what he was told to do. Why is that a driver penalty? Shouldn't that be an owner penalty? Someone like that should be a penalty that is a management level penalty. Bubba Wallace acted on his own. Right? That should be a driver penalty. Why should Denny Hamlin and Michael Jordan be penalized for what their driver did? I think that we need to revisit how we structure these penalties. Denny Hamlin had nothing to do with that, Rick. Like, hold the driver responsible. Michael Jordan had nothing to do with that Rick. Hold the drive responsible. So I think that we got to revisit how we look at penalties because you can penalize a team for something to driver did and the team had nothing to do with it, right? So somebody could be responsible with the same conversation with pit group penalties when a wheel gets less loose. The crew chief he's gone. What do you have to do with it, right? But they're trying to hold someone responsible to try to make people accountable. I got no problem with that, but I don't know how Michael and Denny could have handled that situation. They had nothing to do with it. So, you know, you could make an argument that a suspension is warranted. You can make an argument that a fine and points are based on previous penalties are warranted. I don't know what they're going to decide. I think it's a difficult, it's a difficult penalties are always difficult because it has to meet the crime. I always felt that Matt Kenseth got a bad deal on the Joey Logano thing from Martinsville because how the hell is he supposed to know that the penalty was going to be that big? What he did was wrong. What he did should have never happened. But how the hell is he supposed to know he's going to get penalized three races? And I remember having a conversation with Brian France about it. And I'm like, look, how is he? And he knows. No, he didn't. He has no idea. Hey, you're going to be out for two races if you intentionally. So when you when you penalize Bubba Wallace, it sets an example for others, right? And as far as pushing Kyle arson, I got no problem with that. I mean, whatever. Nobody got hit. Nobody got hurt. I personally don't think throwing punches. I think it's silly. I don't think we need it in our sport to be successful.

"He's coming the right direction. Flirting with NASCAR having to say, hey, you know what I mean? You can't do that. You're not supposed to lay back. So Joey did everything right. And at the same time caught some breaks. And he out duels, Ross Chastain, which I thought this was really cool, Jeff, and it was sort of like this masterclass battle between two of the drivers who I think right now are the best restarts and cup. But there are also probably drivers one and one a for guys who can make their cars as wide as possible and position them in exactly the right position to impede other cars, momentum. Is there anything else Chastain could have done? Because it seemed like he put his car exactly where he needed to put it and eventually Logano, who knows how to play that game, just got around him because he had fresh retires. I don't think there's anything that Ross could have done that was within a realm of reasonability. You know, like making a decision that made sense. And he could have been perhaps ridiculously aggressive on a block or something like that. He had a brief moment where he could have moved Joey, but short of those kind of things, I think Ross got everything. I think Ross did exactly what he needed to do. Clearly he needed it wanted to win that race. But he left there in good shape with points. He would have had to do something that was would have greatly risk his ability to have a good finish. So all in all, I think Ross Chastain did a hell of a job. And when I look at it, I think there's nothing reasonable he could have done different than what he did. And as good as he was at managing the race, Ross Chastain, his team might have been even better. And the one pit crew was all year. Indisputable. Yeah, oh yeah, but especially yesterday, but indisputably the best in the pits right now is the one. Well, there's always underrated people and overrated people in the sport and that his pit crew is underrated in my opinion. When you look at the stats and you look at what they've been doing all year, they've been really, really good. And it's a major advantage. We've seen, I think, listen, I think Bret Keselowski lost the championship a couple of years ago because of a pit crew. He had a real he had the best car at Phoenix in 2020. He had the best car. I know chase Elliott was really fast, but I think that he was better. And they just could not get him off pit road. And that will play a factor. If that team continue doing consistently what they've done throughout the year, that can make a major difference in advance into the next round, but then ultimately having a shot to win a championship. Track position. You know, we talk about track position how important it is. It's always been like that. The difference today is that the cars are so close in speed. And every race I watch, whether I'm at home at the track in the booth. I have time in the scoring with me. I don't watch the race, and any situation where I can't look at lap times. And it's the guy running 5th and the guy running 20th. I'm running the same speed. They run within a tenth and a half of each other. It's hard to pass. Because the competition is so tough. And getting off of pit road is a major advantage. Hard to pass. It's a testament. You kind of said it earlier. The mile and a half racing this year, even though it is difficult, even though guys do run the same speed, it seems as if and we saw it certainly with Kyle Busch, I think he went from like 26 to third in the last 40 laps recovers from losing a wheel, recovers from an early spin. Even though it's hard to pass, it seems like this car has married up really well with the mile and a half tracks. It's been great. And the drivers will talk about how this car is more sensitive than some others. But there's more passing with this car than we've seen with others. So yeah, I mean, now some of that is the tracks. Vegas is attract that's gotten wide. It's attractive. You can run the bot in the middle of the top. The second groove, I guess all over the place. That is the key. Is it if you have to have somewhere to go. If you have somewhere to go and not just follow the guy, that's when this car seems to excel. And that's something to hopefully next year. Listen, there's nothing that needs to happen to the mound half package. I mean, it's fine. You could make an argument you could take a little down force off just to make up for the down force that the teams have gained. You can make that argument. The short tracks and road courses, it would be nice to see something change going to next year because that's where the car hasn't put on as great races. Now it hasn't been like Richmond really wasn't any different Phoenix really wasn't any different, but I felt like I felt like Martinsville certainly needed some work, didn't feel like to me as many passes on the road courses. Maybe the numbers say it is. I don't know. It didn't feel like that. But the mount I have stuff has been spot on. Which is hopefully good news for NASCAR fans heading to Homestead Miami Speedway. This next weekend, and also probably good news for Ross Chastain that runner up finish he's now 18 points above the cut line, the leading driver of the 7 drivers who aren't locked in right now. His teammate Daniel Suarez also led laps. I think he and Chastain combined the lead almost a hundred laps. So really trackhouse racing, you could make a case. They might have been the best team on Sunday. What are the chances do you feel like at this point, Jeff of Ross making it to the final round, and even if he doesn't, this year for track house, I don't even know how to sort of put it in historical context for NASCAR because it's truly been like a breakthrough year that I can't remember ever seeing a team make this kind of step. Well, the other thing I want to add to that is that it felt like they were losing a little bit of ground and they seemed to have recaptured that. It felt like Ross was driving a little different too until he even was Suarez. I felt like track house had lost a little speed compared to the competition and you were thinking, okay, here comes the big teams. But you look at what they did this weekend. And you know, I would say that going to homestead, I would think if you ran well at Vegas, you have a good shot at running well at homestead as well. I really believe that. I know engineers would say nice, but some of the driving styles are the same, depending on which line you run it. And so I think Ross Chastain Joey Logano, this guy's at ran well this weekend. I think they feel pretty good going to homestead. Makes you wonder what chase Elliott and they remember, they had an interesting why I tested homestead. Right. So a lot of teams use the stuff that they learn there to try to apply this weekend and works for some and it didn't for others. So it'll be interesting to see after an industry wide test who can run away at homestead and who struggles. Certainly, it seemed as if the word coming out of that test was that the Team Penske cars were strong and Joey Logan obviously took something from that to the mile and a half track of Vegas. Ryan Blaney, his teammate, had a good day in stage one and stage two, win stage two finishes 5th in stage one, and then while running second, Rex ends up finishing 28th after leading 39 laps.

"I continue to make the same mistakes and overdrive the corners and drive into guys. I had time under caution to get reset. And we go green and I drive in somebody. It's terrible. So your thoughts, Kyle Petty on the contrite Ross Chastain and what's kind of surprised me about this is he said all this almost proactively. Yes. And that's my theory. What do you make of that? Yeah, see, that's what I love about it, because listen, I don't believe it and I don't care. Because listen, to paraphrase Justin marks, I don't see where he did anything wrong. You know what I mean? This car, we have heard from every driver, every driver, you can drive it more aggressive and you have to be aggressive. You have to be aggressive to make things happen. Let's go back. Ross Chastain has been aggressive. Since he picked watermelons for a living. You know what I mean? He is always. He has shown us he has shown us so many times on the racetrack, aggression is where he comes from. And you know, even some of the stuff, the Danny thing, yeah, he might have gotten in the corner too hard. He might have run in there and hit him. And yeah, the thing with Chase, man chase was already wanted on the radio before they ever got into each other on that one. You know what I mean? And he stuck his nose in there. But man, you got to make it happen. That was a restart. And that's when you got every driver will tell you, you have to make something happen. So I loved what Ross did, because they came to him first. Now, I would have liked to have seen it if we could run back in class. Now let's go to Ross last. Yeah. And see if it's the same Roth's GSA. Because what he basically did, watching the race yesterday with Jamie little, and that interview was disarm the entire NASCAR community. Disarmed him. He took all their weapons away. He said, it's on me. I did it. It's me. I'm aggressive. I did this. I kept trying to make myself. I mean, he was so, so humble and the way he went about it. It was perfect and I'm thinking that deserves an Academy Award. He completely owned it. Yeah, he owned it. And so for me, it was, it was perfect. And listen, and that was wrong with me to say, I don't believe it, because he probably is in some way. He probably did. But listen, dude, he's got a couple of wins under his belt. He's kicking rear end. Yeah. Sorry, man. You know that? I'm just going to say sorry if I'm him. So would have been okay, do you think if he would have just said, look, this is what I've got to do to be good in this series. Listen, if he said, I drive my guts out. Joey Logano, I drive my guts out for my team every lap. I've got to make something happen. For my team and for my organization. That's what I do. And I am tired. I've read Twitter and I should never get on Twitter and read it. And I was listening to serious radio. Well, you know, at that point in time in the race, he doesn't need to be driving that hard. He doesn't need to be that aggressive. So he gets paid for. Yeah. So what he gets paid for, man. You know, that's like saying, you know, and that movie was good, but at that one part, at one point in the movie, that guy just quit acting. You know, he just he laid down on me. You know what I'm saying? I mean, you get paid to give it a 110% or a 100%. There is no such thing as a hundred and a 100%. All the time. You know what I mean? I got that's what he does. And you got to appreciate that. And listen, Justin marks backing him up. I think that speaks volumes. Yeah, and that's where I want to go next. The guy who does sign his paychecks is Justin marks, Justin talked to dust and log of NBC sports dot com after the race. And this is what Justin Mark said. Ross, pretty hard on himself. I mean, how do you look at well, I didn't hear I didn't hear what he said, obviously. I mean, honestly. I don't think there's a single thing Ross Chastain did.

"Just our performance has gone steadily up and we've been able to improve the equipment and now here we are. In my opinion, every week we've been on a super speedway. We've been on a road course. We've been on dirt track and now 1.3 mile and every one of these we had a chance to win. And so I'm just so grateful for the chance. It's a lot of fun to be honest. This ride. When's the next race? Shinola. So we're going to skip Charlotte. We had it on our original schedule to go to Charlotte, but Chris and I chatted and Don, everyone and we looked at sort of the timing between the two. And this is us making choices with our resources. We could definitely go to Charlotte, but to have the best truck for Sonoma. It's just the timing doesn't work for us. So we'll skip the next couple and then we'll be at Sonoma, which I'd love to have the reps driving wise, but I understand for our team you it makes the most sense to just focus ahead of the place we know we can go in, which would be awesome. Hey, wine country. That's cool. Yeah. Yeah, so I'll be the family to come out. We'll do, I think we'll end up doing 12 race, 13 races this year, which is pretty cool. I got to do that Xfinity race, the 35, which was awesome for the first time in my career. I've actually been getting calls, which is cool, inquiring about my services, which is nice. So I was wondering, I mean, you did that race at Kansas last year. Did that. Nothing from that world yet. But you know, one of the series that's been hardest for me to drive in pride in the last 8 years has been Xfinity. And I've wanted to drive those cars really badly. It's just been almost impossible to get an opportunity for every reason, you know, I got this call from the 35 right before coda, and I just said yes, sure. Let's do it. I didn't even ask any questions. I was like, yeah, whatever, let's go. I was like, I'm already there. Let's do it for road course. How bad could it be? And it was awesome. They did a great job. Emerald gay motor sports. And we had a really solid day and boring some breaks, a little better breaking package. We probably could have finished the top 5 that day. And for every reason, I think that just plus how well we're running in the truck, things, the tide changes at times, and you start to people start to take notice of what you're doing. And I've been able to actually get some increase, which is cool. That's very cool. And you've actually gained enough of a fan base that you now have at Twitter follower who asks you a question every day. Do you want me to ask a while this guy? Do you know who this is? I don't know, but he's in our Discord. He's a Twitter he's awesome. He won't be to ask you if you're a 90s cartoon evil villain, where would you be based? I think that's kind of a weird question though. 90s cartoon evil villain. I mean, what even villain isn't based on a Silicon Valley in the last 30 years. So it had to be Silicon Valley.

"Season that's defined by 36 races. It's not. It's defined by getting hot at the right times and dominating when it's time to dominate. And this theme has the ability to do that. So Parker, I know you've had the number 11 team before a lot of work the pits for NASCAR and NBC. I know Danny well, you know, Gabe hartwell. And they do have a win. So they're locked in the playoffs. And look at what Logano just did at Darlington. So maybe I've already made the case for what Gabe Hart's saying, but do you agree with gay partly knowing how well you know him and Hamlin in the number 11 team? Do they kind of have that ability to think that they can flip it and turn it on? I see no reason why not. And I think they could be one of the most dangerous teams in the whole sport because if I look at a team between driver and crew chief that if you take the variable of having to build the fastest car out of the equation, what I mean by that is your engineering team and all the things you've had to have in the past and you simply say, I need a team, a driver and a crew chief and a team who are going to execute a really high level and when they're on, they're going to be on. Like really on. That's 11 team to me. And I think Chris skipper is an incredible leader. I think he's a very analytical leader. We know that from talking to spending so much time with him. He thinks about racing in a really, really calm, but analytical way. And I like, but he also has that mix of being a racer, a guy who's raced, he knows his whole life has that idea of still saying. But we're dangerous, you know? He's a super analytical guy, but he's also a racer at heart and just says, we know how to race, right? And I think you combine all those together with this car. And you saw it at Richmond. They came out of some people would say, oh, nowhere. Oh, and they won this race. That's just because that's who they are, that's how good they are. It's always Denny Hamlin's year until it's not. So we got to add that in. It's always Denny's here. He was a champion. Of course it is. I've picked him to win the championship, both of the last two years. I think I've picked up like 5 times. So he's always easier to win a championship. And yeah, I just think I agree that statement knowing him. And I know that's hard for people out there listening to sort of understand because they don't know them that well as we do and had spent time. But I look at Danny as a clutch guy who in the circle of chaos can go out there and find incredible performance and oftentimes now admitted in grave Hart told me this last year and then admitted this year in chaos sometimes he does better, which is just wild. Yeah. And then you have Gabe Hart's incredible leader, very analytical leader. Who knows and understands his driver and understands how to get the best performance out of him and how to give him a race car that he can go out there and drive. And so I think you combine all those together and you have a very dangerous team that's had some bad things happen, but I don't think they look at it as like that's their doing. If they do everything they do, they know how to do they're in a position to go win a race every week they show up. Yeah, I agree. And if they can get this pit stop thing, figured out which I had that my list of things to talk about, but this tilbury just watched motor mounts or something. And just listening to the series NASCAR radio, I don't want to talk about at least wheels. Yeah, let's go to warm and sunny Miami, which had Formula One in town at the hard rock stadium for the first time ever. We have been texting a lot about this recently. If only we could share the contents of those text conversations, probably as entertaining or more so than this conversation. But I know you are plugged into the F one world. Your general impressions Parker of how you think the inaugural Miami Grand Prix win. It seemed like there was enormous buzz throughout exactly as I expected. As I said on the wall, that kind of went viral on TikTok and such making a joke. It did get a lot of most views I'd ever had on there. I thought that this event undoubtedly would be a success, right? It's just I'm not a big fan of exclusive design events, right? I don't see the benefit in them. I don't personally want to be a part of something like that. I personally don't care to go to things like that. Miami, I had Saturday and Sunday off, could have been a chance to go see F one, which is Formula One is my favorite racing. It's the racing that it's the series that got me into motor sports. Now I've put my whole life into motor sports. So I think it's something that I feel very near and dear to my heart. I'd love to go see in person. But, you know, when I looked at how that vent was being designed in knowing the clientele and having spent a lot of time with those types of people living in New York City and that sort of thing, I just said like this isn't for me as a racer. This is not for me as a race fan. And that was very evident right. You had a ton of celebrities. You had VIP sections, a fake Marina, success, there was rolexes everywhere. Everyone was probably wearing santel perfume, and I'm sure the instagrams look great. And there was a special martinis left and right. But I sure on every metric is a success. It's just for me being a racer, a motor sports guy. I want racing to me as a niche sport. It really is. And it's a big niche, but it's a niche sport. And Formula One might be one of the biggest of that niche. But it has a responsibility to all motor sports with NASCAR and IndyCar and everyone to help grow this whole thing. Because I just think it's so funny that 5 years ago, motor sports was in a position where we thought driveless cars were coming and going to stop this all. And there's electrification coming and oh my gosh, has anyone been watching racing? Does anyone care about racing? And now they've had explosion because of this TV show. And you then build an event in a country that you so desperately wanted the attention of and you close it off. It's like what?.

"joey logano" Discussed on NASCAR on NBC
"And to accomplish that and to make it more modern or anything, right? You've built a center section that's pretty hefty. And you've got hefty clips and such, but eventually there has to be some part of this thing. It gives. So when it hits a wall, how can you fix it, right? Well, it's got to have parts that are sort of replaceable parts and then parts you consider to be like, can't replace that. That's got to be like center section stays true. And I think when you look at how they designed it, obviously, the total link is going to be the issue, right? So that's what's controlling the where that tire is pointed, or the steering arms, that sort of stuff that they have to be the weakest link because that's what's going to give. I think what's interesting is when I was watching cars over in Australia for many years, I started watching it back in the early 2000s. Love that series used to download off Torrance and they would have all these issues. With their cars where they were going to these street courses and they would hit a wall and they would break a toe link and then that car would be done. And you saw it all the time. And they had composite bodies. So it's like a similar design, similar situation. And I wondered when we were going this car, like, hey, you know, that's all fine Danny have composite bodies and everything, but we also hit the walls pretty hard. You know what I mean? And we door each other pretty hard. And the old car was very much a big solid piece, right? The rear end was one solid axle. It's just a big, solid car on the underpinnings. And I think this is just a different philosophy. So I think yes, this is adding to this issue, it will be interesting to see, NASCAR, the teams, the parts providers, how they work together to look at evaluating this and saying, all right, do we want to make this more these parts more beefy, but now they could hurt more expensive parts or maybe start to hurt this idea of this car being able to run races right after each other would be fixed very quickly or do we need to sort of keep them the same? Can we look at moving maybe the body different places? I don't know. I'm just spitting stuff out loud. But I think it'll be interesting to see what sort of path they decide to go down because the teams can't do this themselves. They have to do it with NASCAR. NASCAR direct where this goes and how this works. So we'll see. I just think it's a shame to see a stock car break something from hitting the wall. And I know before it was a problem because we had a body that would then lay on a tire and cut a tire. But we don't want to just break out of the race. That is disappointing for once again what we consider stock car racing. Can we fix some things? Maybe it's just the right side that can be beefed up or something. Can we do things that make it that it can be more durable for those types of hits and moves in that sort of thing? I mean, that is the fly in the ointment is that when they talked about next gen card to your point, the gen 6, one of the big criticisms was if you cut the fenders at all, it's going to cut the tire. We saw this rash of cut tires. So we're going to make these things more tank like. And we've seen races, I mean, Corey Lajoie finished 5th in Atlanta with a car that looked like it had been a literal war. But yet, it seems like even though the composite body is so strong, it's these parts. It's the suspension pieces that are the weak link. It's a working progress. I think there's no race car in the world that is designed to hit stuff, by the way. I just want to put that out there for everyone else listening. Now, yes, safety wise, we're designed to hit stuff. But in terms of engineering the idea, you could hit something and keep going. Very seldom is a race car ever designed in that way because it's just not the mythology of racing. You build race cars to go fast, not wreck, especially racers, right? And so this would be have to be directed by something like a sanctioned body to find a way to make this car more durable or make those decisions because race teams will not make those decisions. They would just make the fastest race car and tell you not to hit anything. So do we want to make a race car that can hit stuff and keep going? I mean, that's a tough thing. And once again, what do we consider modern day stock car racing? It has to have contact. You got composite bodies for that reason. And I'm a big proponent of race series leaning into what makes them unique and NASCAR has a very, very unique form of contact in racing that just you don't see replicating where else. And you touched on it a little bit. What's different about the next gen is the way that it's being built now is that and again, there were very good reasons for it, both competition and to your point, like cost savings. I'm talking to the man who wrote the team's burning money and wind tunnels, the whole idea of hey.
NASCAR on NBC
"joey logano" Discussed on NASCAR on NBC
"I'm like, hell, yeah, that was awesome. Cool. That doesn't NASCAR marketer. And yes. Well, and the other side of that is, where else are you going to get that in modern day top level motor sport? You're not. That exists in one place and one place only, and that is NASCAR Cup Series racing. It does not happen in Formula One. It is not going to happen in IndyCar. You can't do it either of those. Yeah, you might see the sports car GT racing, but obviously there's a little different amount of people watching between that and NASCAR. So I just think that is unique to NASCAR this trend, this precedent that's been said of allowing this aggressive driving and that sort of move until forever reason it's reprimanded, which I don't think it should be or the drivers take it in their own hands to start talking to each other or the way you race each other in those late stages could change. I think it's here to stay. So you said that it filters down from the top level to the grassroots. So William Byron 24 years old, Joey Logano going to turn, I think, 31, this is my same age. That would make you feel old. But again, three drivers that we're talking about, the two on the track in yourself, all were born 1990 or later. As you guys come up through the ranks is say William Byron was coming up through whatever bandoleros legends late models was he learning that this is kind of the way things are done. Has it already filtered down to that level a few years back, where everybody is sort of expected the racist way now when they get to cup. I think so. I think it really started when you had the win and you're in design of the playoffs. And the second you create that level of value to a win, a single win at any point in the regular season. The incentive structure is there to make to take massive lose aggressive moves that even if it's the same mentality as a short track and trucks. Hit and hope they don't get back to me. Hit this person win the race and hope that doesn't affect me later in the year or running for a championship because my chances are it won't. My chances of it going better for me or probably a lot larger than not going well for me because there's only one person that I've wronged in this. Meanwhile, I've got 38 others I race every week or 34 others are maybe you want to look at it. That I just think you've been putting this position you have to take those sorts of moves and yes, it filters all the way through. I'm sure William Byron experienced it was he got to the Xfinity series and then obviously has been experiencing cups since he's been there. And I'm glad you did bring up the center punching as you called it a Logano. I caught a lot of flak because I refer to this as a bump and run like many of us did. On Twitter, Gary, in particular, at kids 67 Y, love you, Gary. We had a back and forth last night about what constitutes a bump and run. He and some others, I'm still getting tweets about it as we speak, feel that I didn't characterize this correctly. But when I watch this move, Parker, I see, I know that maybe the result and the outcome wasn't exactly the same, but I see Bristol during the 1990s or Martinsville at any point in time. To me, the definition of a bump and run is you hit the guy from the rear, you cause him to get out of shape, slide up the track and you run past him. And in this case, yes, it was violent enough that Byron scraped the wall. He was able to keep going. He ended up finishing not in the top 5, not even in the top ten. So it didn't work out so well for him. But he did finish the race and I still maintain 1999 August Bristol, the most famous bump and run in history resulted in the other guy crashing. So I understand that maybe we need new terminology for it, but the only difference to me was it's Darlington and we don't really see this move. Have you ever seen a move like that at Darlington or for short tracks, right? You wouldn't have in the past because if you go to the gen four car, you wouldn't have been able to hit a guy like this one because the car wouldn't have allowed you to get there too. If you hit them as hard as Logano did, you'd probably pave in your front nose. You wouldn't survive the last two laps. Great point. And then you would, before you even got there, he would have gotten arrow loose, sort of thing, and you would have been able to slide under him. I think where this looks so egregiously different than what you're talking about in the 90s in the early 2000s and everything we've seen before, before this is that with this car, but the massive brakes, a composite body, the amount of speed that he was able to roll to that rear bumper and the force he was able to hit William Byron with. Without affecting his car, that's the key. His car does not look like it just hit a car ten mile an hour faster into a rear bumper. It just doesn't. So that is something entirely new for the NASCAR Cup Series that we have never seen before, right? Maybe the closest thing would have been the CO2. It's like first iteration when it was a box and that sort of thing. But this is very unique plus you have a car that possibly is more mechanically gripped up than anything we've ever had because of the tire it has, right? So people talked about at Martinsville, they couldn't move each other out of the way, because you'd hit the guy as hard as you could, and because it had so much mechanical grip, you couldn't move the car out of the way. So that's, I think, factors in as well, where you are able to hit with such force that it did what it did. And so that sort of changes it. Do drivers now learn from this move and say, wow, okay, so now you can get hit at like ten miles an hour from the guy behind. This opens up a whole nother can of worms. Does William Byron be prepared to nail the brake next time as hard as he possibly can when he gets that hit and so it's a double bad hit for the guy behind or stop his car from sliding up. I mean, there's so many things this opens up because I think this is what I talked about beginning this year and actually when this next gen carves an out where it's like changing some of the fundamentals of what we believe to be stock car racing. I think this is one of those things that sort of opens up that area where it's everything we knew in the past would either damage the car or you would have moved them aero wise and that just is not the case for this car..

Kind of walk us through all the changes with the car right. So the tapered spacer change mardi is that they went from fifty seven sixty fourth of an inch to fifty three sixty seven inch so the smaller holes mean that there's less air getting through the engine and smaller roles means less errors means a decrease in speed so speeds will drop by about seven ten miles an hour. Nascar also removed the wicker from the spoiler and a roll bar that had previously been. Optional is now mandatory at daytona and talladega as we just heard and that piece we play with joey logano when he crashed at talladega when airborne running third on the last lap of the opening stage.

Has been his crew chief Chris Capehart, Marines. Steve Post chatted with him. What's it like being two for two for the Daytona 500? It's to hear you say it. It is pretty surreal for sure, but I look forward trying to make it three for three day that let's just go kind of big picture. Broad picture. Are there differences? Are there changes in the cars? What types of new challenges will you have? Is you as you look to this weekend's race? Well, certainly. Speaking only the Daytona 500 their way less changes from 2022 2021. There was from 19 to 20. So I certainly feel you know, Mork confident about where we are and how our cars are coming Drive and perform a year removed this year head in 2021 on top of that Danny and I have in two years together to work together and kind of understand each other and what we're thinking and how aggressive to B and when you know we've we've got a lot of that under her belt. Now, So you know, I definitely have a lot more understanding what to expect. But that doesn't mean that you know you're gonna be able to execute down There is a lot of variables toe try to overcome even in the short two years. How is Denny evolved in as as he continues to fine tune his ability of his skill as a great race car driver? Yeah, that's a good question. So you know, it's it's crazy to say, but I think we have three win of the eight starts. We have three wins and, like six top fives and R and R. Speak racist together. So you know those air those air wildly overachieving numbers for anyone statistically, but, you know, I mean, it's been eight races running up doing it well, and I think that really goes to his understanding what he needs in the car and Chris Lamberts understanding what he needs in the car as a spotter father's important every week. But but certainly a plate races or superspeedways there their whole another level worth of importance, and Jenny and Chrisman worked together for a lot of years now, and they just really refined their craft, and the two of them understand what each other's thinking and that's a really big deal. Denny Hamlin's crew chief. Chris gave heart with our Steve Post. You'll hear Steve all day today on pit road and, you know, as we mentioned any handling, trying to pull off a three peat in the Daytona 500 is certainly a huge deal for him. But it would also make gave heart three for three in the Daytona 500. Denny Hamlin always done has finished Top four in the last five Super Speedway races. That's the longest streak ever as well Coming up, We'll head down on the starting grid and talk with more drivers competing in today's Daytona 500 Blue Green Vacations, the official vacation ownership provider of NASCAR invites.

Kansas Speedway Starting Lineup: October 2020 (NASCAR Cup Series)
"Series rat of eight kicks off this weekend at Kansas despite other media members thinking it's more and other weird stuff. These are the drivers that are going to battle it out for four spots over the next three races Kurt Busch Alex, Bowman Martin tricks junior joey logano chase Elliott Brad Keselowski Denny Hamlin, and Kevin Harvick bloom that is a star studded pack of drivers there for sure. So eight races will be pared down to four for Phoenix. which is going to be the round of four, which is only one race I guess but I mean look at look at that lineup, you've got one, two, three, four, five champions. You've got the guy who's the perennial second place Cinderella story that never gets it done at any Hamlin the most popular driver and Chase Elliott, and then Alex Bowman as well. The future forty-eight drivers. That's pretty cool and we've got a great mix of manufacturers. Yeah. Yeah. No joke I mean we've got a pretty good representation of everything here. We got to Chevy's two toyotas. Fords right that were at. I see in three three chevys. Sorry. Three Chevy Chevy three forwards and two Toyotas. That's pretty good. especially when you consider how few Toyotas are in the field. That's that's par for the course you're only gonNA get two of them in there but that's that's a pretty impressive field of drivers for this. Finally, all right Kansas speedway opened in two thousand and one it's bad fast on the list of top ten fastest tracks, which is a weird list. Drivers, of course, have to dodge rows and rows of corn and wheat growing right there on the racetrack in between the workers and the cracks. would. That might not be true.
