"More attention to the actual cause of the caution. Up there and dispatching our equipment, the William Byron Denny Hamlin thing we had no eyes on. We saw Danny go through the grass and by the time we got to a replay that showed the incident well enough to do anything to it, we had gone back to green, but I'm not sure that that issue is completely resolved as of yet. So we'll be looking at we'll be looking at that when we get back to back to work. But as I said, as we said, they had 8 laps under yellow to sort this out. What do you think is going on in the scoring town? No idea. No idea. And I've never been privy to set in a race and see how hectic it gets. I know it gets hectic. Listen, it's like mission control. You're trying to land a man on the moon. And you've got 40 of them on the racetrack. 38 of them been on the moon trying to find their way. So I know it's incredibly hectic. I give them that. But you know, you've got, you've put all these officials on pit road. You've put cameras on pit road. You know when there's equipment outside the box, you know when somebody's over the wall that much too quick, you know, you've got all those replays you've got all that. How could you not have this? How can you not have this? This is actually on the racing surface. You know what I mean? I mean, it's actually there. And they have an in car video. You've got all this stuff. You've got so many so many different things. So I felt like, and I said it before we started, is and I hate to say it, but this is how I feel is they were better off not to say anything. Just say we missed it, that's it. If that's what you want to say. But the explanation, it's like, you can sit there and be quiet and have people think you don't know what you're talking about, or you can start talking and remove all doubt. And they started talking, and they removed all out, that they don't know what they're talking about. You know, I mean, it was just one of those things where it's like they should have not said anything. I would have not said anything, I believe. Step away from all that, lord Byron, this felt a little bit out of character for young William. Yes. And it took me back to when he got wrecked at Darlington. I figured I bumped out a lead by Joey. It almost seemed as if he was trying to send a message not just to Denny, but maybe he did everybody like, hey, I'm tired of getting pushed around here. Even though, again, I don't think he and Denny really made contact. It almost felt as if he was kind of over identifying with what was happening. What did you make of what? So here's what I made. Here's what I took from it. I think it made me, I think what happened. Honestly, made me look at Darlington a little bit different. Because I didn't think that what he and Joey did, he getting into joy. And taking the lead. I didn't think that was a big deal. I just thought it was racing. Byron, William gets hit, and he's kind of calm when the race is all win. So yesterday, he's racing, and he doesn't get touched, but really what happened was 300 yards before they get to the end of the corner. It's when the wreck started, okay? Because Danny gasped out powered up and they just started to drift that way, drift that way. Then Danny realized they were too far out and you can see the fire come out of Denny's tailpipes as he's getting off as he checks up. Danny checks up and turns, but it's too late. That started way back over there. Yeah. You mean, people look right here, but that's not where that's not where it started. It started way back over there. What Byron was mad about there? Was he felt like Denny drove him up there? And he probably felt like he did it on purpose. You know what I mean? Whether Danny did or not. Only Denny knows that side of the story. But that's why he felt like and he felt like, I don't appreciate the way you raced me. Darlington, I go back and he was like, yeah, I raced you wrong. I'm guilty. So I'm not going to say anything. You know what I mean? And that's what I took from it a little bit was to say, maybe he did take some responsibility from what went on in his quiet way. What he's saying here is he God, this kid is so much reminds me of Jeff Gordon. Yeah. And in a lot of ways, where poking, poking, poking, he does nothing. And then you poke him one time, and it's like, oh my gosh. The Tiger comes out. It's the incredible hulk. Pretty come from. You know what I mean? I mean, so many, so many similarities on how he does things. And the way he reacted to this really surprised me. When I heard his interview, it really surprised me too because that though, William man, that's pretty good there. But I think it was. It's a broader message to say. I deserve to be here too, man. I deserve to be here. I deserve to be racing. I deserve to be where I'm at. We had fought our way back, and he felt like and he said it. That took us out of the win. That took the win away from us because it messed up our car just enough that it took the win. And I can't argue that because he had a fast car all day long. It's a great Jeff Gordon, comparison all the way down to the car number. I hadn't thought about that. It's time for a motor mounts to the race presented by eBay motors and this is where we talk about a quote from the race weekend. And this quote comes from the race winner who I did promise we get to eventually. Tyler Reddick, who now is won twice since announcing his impending departure in 2024 for 23 11 racing and now has won once since RCR announced that Kyle Busch will take his number 8 team next season for Richard Childress racing. So Tyler Reddick was asked after the race, how things are going with the number 8 crew. And Tyler said, I love my team. I've never been this close I am with this group as I have been with anyone else. And it's a type of bond and the friendship that we have that will outlive our tenure together as a driver and as a team, you know, we're already joking around about, you know, years down the road when I'm running somewhere else will probably still be doing the same things we're doing now. We'll probably still be spending spending time together hanging out, doing that sort of thing. That's just who we are. So yeah, we're making the most of this for sure. It is unfortunate that things do have to come to an end. And as it turned out, you know, it's coming to a close a little bit sooner than we all initially thought when I made my announcements, but it's the direction that our CR needs to take

"And I'm going to look at it the way Rodney and those guys look at it, then I've got to be responsible. For the failure. I have to take that burden. I have to shoulder it, okay? If I'm going to run if I'm going to cheat the system and run lighter frame rails and if you could do that again and there was times when people did that, you know, and light roll bars and stuff. And my driver gets hurt. That's back on me. It's not on NASCAR. So if I'm going to look for that three speed and a tire that I know, when it has a failure, it's going to send my driver and my car into the wall. At a 170 or 80 miles an hour, shoulder that. Shoulder that and step up and take it. You know, put on your big boy pants, take it. But don't when it happens, point, that's good your fault. That's good yours fault. They should have known we were going to do that. No. That's not good years fault. I would have been a good year all day long for that. You know what I mean? I will. That's not their job. You know what I mean? It's not. They give you what they consider. The optimum tire, the range of tire pressures that are going to work. That's why they go test. That's why they run their models just like you run your models with your simulation. They do the same stuff. And they say, here are the parameters. If you go outside those parameters, that's not their fault. I am sorry. That is not their fault. I don't know what world we live in where you can blame them. And what I do know, it's this world. Because everybody's blaming everybody. But do you understand what I'm saying? Yeah, I know what you're saying. So if I am a crew chief and Rodney is one of the smartest guys in the garage and understands that. He is, if it's a Rodney Childers, if it's Rudy, if it's Alan, whoever it may be, you know, and I'm not pitching, I'm just saying, if I'm a crew chief, and I make that call, I have to shoulder that. I have to shoulder that when my driver sets out for 6 months. That's on me. I can't put that back on Goodyear. I can't put that back on NASCAR. That's got to be back on me. So I think some of that is, you know, I understand the mentality, but at some point in time, you have to look at tire management for in the old days. Was, here's a set of tires. If I just run them as hard as I can run them, they're going to be worn out in 20 laps. All right, my job is to make them last 30 as a driver. My job is to make them last 40 as a driver. This is not Tyra management, okay? This is tire optimization. And there is a difference between that. This is not about tire management. Tire management, again, is making that tire last longer. And the last part of the run be the fastest car on the racetrack, not the first part of the run. So I look at it that way as they are just trying to optimize what they have found as a loophole. But along with that loophole, there is catastrophic failure. That's sort of what I wanted to get at was that the consequences are kind of what is an issue here, because Tyler Reddick says, hey, we knew that tire where it was going to be a problem we noticed this in practice. And we were a little bit more conservative. And Randall Burnett both said, look, if we're going to give up a little bit speed to make the tires live, we're going to do that. It would be nice, I guess, if Tyler Reddit could be rewarded for making that choice, but at the same time, a team that might have pushed it on air pressure is like the consequence isn't, hey, your tire pops and you go on the wall. Hey, you're tired, just gives up a lot more. Go a lot slower over the course of a run. But it doesn't fail. Yeah. And that's what you would. That's what you would hope. Okay, now the problem with that is, and seriously, the problem with that is, is Goodyear brings a tire that they feel will do everything that you just talked about. And the drivers crucify them in the press because it doesn't grip the racetrack. You know, it drops off too much. There's too much drop off. There's two and a half second drop off in this tire. And God forbid they actually have to drive the car because it doesn't stick and it doesn't drive the way it is. It should be. So to come with an ultra safe tire to save the crew chiefs and the save the teams from themselves, Goodyear is going to get crucified. And they will. We've seen it before, man. We have seen it a million times before. So I think you have to go Goodyear has been a protector of this sport. And I know I sound like I'm singing good years praises and everything. But I want you to think, listen, you know, when I won that race at Dover on the concrete, Goodyear had tire issues. All day long on Saturday. And you know what they did? Hey boys, we're not running those tires. It's not safe. It's not safe. Everybody send home and send in this compound. And that Sunday morning they brought in a different kind of tire, different compound attire. And we ran a race. We had a practice at morning and ran a race. And that was Goodyear raising their hand. That was Goodyear saying, this is wrong. So was it the perfect tire for that race that we ran on that Sunday? Probably wasn't. They just said, this is going to be a hard time. We know it's going to last. And that's what we had to make work. So what NASCAR has asked Goodyear to do? Is we're going to take this new car to this track, build me the optimum tire, the perfect tire. Could your attempts that? If NASCAR said, we're going to take this car and go to this racetrack. Give me a tire that will survive ten pounds of air, okay? A hundred and 40° track temperature. All right? And it's not going to wear out. And could you say, okay, here's one. You know what I mean? And we'll do that. But that's not what NASCAR asked for. NASCAR wants, you want that speed. You want that driver say, man, it feels good when I get down here, man. You just go back to the gas and all that. You don't want the bad side of it. You know what I mean? But there's got to be a, there's got to be a negative to have that type of tire. Or there's going to be a name. I won't say there's got to be. There's going to be a negative on drop off on maybe no tire wear, and listen, maybe we go back to four sets of tires in no tire where. If you want to, if we're going to limit it, you know what I mean? But at the same time, I think you're just going to get crucified. And now we're back to perception as reality. And that's what has happened in the Goodyear today. It's perception is they brought a bad tire. When in reality, they didn't bring a bad tire. The tire was used. It was used the wrong way. And I want to say this before we go before we keep hammering this is this. There were what? How many cars start to race 30, 8, 36, 36, 36, 36 cars start to race. Even though we're talking about a large percentage of 7 or 8, you know what I mean? When you talk about Christopher Bell twice for and true X and those guys. There are a lot of guys didn't have issues. Yeah, a lot of guys didn't have issues. A lot of guys that ran fast didn't have issues. Well, not just read it. Yeah, but Ryan Blaney said it too, that they looked at the tire wear after practice and said, we got to back it off a little bit. That's right. Be conservative. So a lot of guys looked at it. So you can't blame that. You got to give those guys kudos for saying, hey, yeah, we see the problem. You know what I mean?

"Able to make the right moves at the right time. To get close, you know, me and Noah being right there behind Austin and then went on to just move on the two. It was kind of perfect timing for me to get around. No, I and the two both and then get to his back bumper and make sure that anyone coming for the three is gonna have to wreck the 8. So that was what Tyler Reddick soccer. What was the roller skating thing when they roller Derby? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. It's a good way to look at it. I haven't thought about that. So the other thing is that, you know, that says to me, the Tyler Reddick has the wherewithal and the self awareness that I, even though I'm leaving Richard Childress racing, I drive for Richard Childress racing. And the respect that he showed on Sunday to help RCR get another car in the playoffs is a sign of his character. Now I know that Richard is upset because he's leaving. That's not a character flaw. It's not a character of law to make a decision that you think is in your best interest for your career. That's not a character fall. You can have a disagreement. About it. But it doesn't mean you're a bad person. And Richard's not a bad person either. I know Richard really well. Richards are really good person. But feelings get hurt. And moments like that is a good reminder that Tyler Reddick understands his place, Tyler Reddick, respects RCR, and Richard now, after all that's happened, can now look at talent Reddick in a different light. And I think that's good for the future of talent red success, assuming something crazy doesn't happen, and he doesn't leave at the end of this year. That goes a long way. To helping that team. So a lot of things happen for RCR on Sunday afternoon, not just Austin Dillon winning that race. In my opinion. And I've said to you before, I think Richard Childress, the best thing he can do for his company, is put as much effort as he can into that 8 car to win as many races as he can between now and the time Tyler Riddick leaves because all that Richard Childress is doing is recruiting the next driver. The next crew chief, the next tire changers, the next sponsors, all that stuff. That's what he's doing with that 8 car. And how do you do that, right? You win with it. And I think a lot happened on Sunday that was a really positive, very, very positive RCR. No, it's a really good point with Tyler Reddick slated to leave for 23 11 racing in the 2024 season. That clearly, as you note, surely that was recognized by Richard Childress that he is not forgotten that, hey, I'm in the Cup Series because Richard child was racing, gave me that ride after I went to this team and won the Xfinity series championship in 2019. RC is the guy who put me in the 8 car in 2020 and that's why he's going to 23 11 racing. So it meant a lot to Richard. I want to get your take on one more thing on that, Jeff. It meant a lot to Austin Dillon as well. He also didn't want to have this really interesting quote after the race in the media center. When Tyler made his decision a couple months ago, I called him and congratulated him. And for me, being a owner's son sometimes comes with caveats and I wanted to make sure that I had nothing to do with the reasons that he was leaving. And when I called him, I was like, hey man, I'm just making sure I've been a good teammate to you. And he was like, no, you've been an amazing teammate, a love working with you all soon. I love me and Alexa both really enjoy being around you guys. And I'm like, well, look, man, congratulations on your deal. Let's go try and win some races for RCR over the next year and a half. And for me, I was in none of his negotiations, talks or anything. So it was more like he's been in a way inspirational to me to pick up my game because he's got so much speed and he shows it constantly. So not only is this really good, I think you're right for the company, but the relationship between these drivers, not that we question it, but obviously it's solid. It's important. Austin is aware. He has self awareness too. That with being Richard Childress grandson, it's a different ball game, and he always has to fight and Richard always has to fight the perception of favoritism, the perception of those things. And Joe Gibbs will have to fight it with his grandson. It's natural. People are always getting this. He's getting that. And they've got to go, they got to double down to show people that we're not showing favoritism. And if you are making decisions, it's because it isn't the best interest of that car, not that driver, because he's my grandson. Difficult decisions have to be made. And you just have to make sure when you make it on them, you're making them for the right reason. It's not for family. I don't think Richard Childress is cut from that cloth.

"In time to hear the announcement yesterday. Slept all the way through victory lane. But hey, this is a caller about this is a show about collars. Let's get right to it. Tony, you're on. I guess. First time caller. My question is, I hadn't heard. I didn't know I missed the very beginning of the show. Why did childress not sign him to a multiyear deal? He signed to a one year deal. I was surprised no one had announced that what role America. I'm like, why did he not sign to a multiyear deal? No one was out of prospecting he was. He didn't think Daniel was going to slip up there and get him or something. Well, Tony, I'll say this is what Richard Childress racing did was pick up the one year option on the contract. So it was essentially a three year contract. This will be the third year next year for Tyler Redick and they picked up the contract, the option, and actually Richard Childress told myself in the athletic back in March, that that's what they were going to do. So they known since the spring that Tyler was going to be there through 2023. Now, Jeff, you can correct me if I'm wrong, but typically, again, this is one of the things that makes Denny Hamlin's move 23 11s move surprising his teams aren't always working a year and a half ahead of time and typically you wouldn't expect a team to be working on a contract extension through 2024. I think it's a good question, Tom. I think the better question is this Dustin said he signed a three year deal with a one year option. So this is the third year they picked up the 23. I think the better question though, Jeff and Parker might be why was Tyler Reddick allowed to be talking to other teams before. Next season. Well, a contract negotiation requires two parties. So not always when you sign a driver to zone or get to write it exactly the way he wants it. And the driver doesn't get to write it exactly the way he wants it. So you negotiate those things. And then everybody always think the most important part about contracts is the money. It's actually not. It's all those little details that allow you when you can talk. When you can have conversations, all those types of things. And clearly, he was we haven't heard anything otherwise. He was in his right to be talking to other teams in advance of next year. And I think one other really important part to that, guys, as you alluded to, Jeff is, you know, these are not templated contracts that come from NASCAR, right? These are the race teams and the drivers and they have their individual types of contracts and the lawyers they work with and they can be created in any way they want and sometimes have creative differences that are entirely different team to team. So it's very much an open market in that sense. And so there's no real templated form to the simple to a contract as much as there is a lot of room for creativity and a lot of room for things to be different. And so it's really hard for us on the outside to really know the particulars there. But as you alluded to, considering that no one's really brought that up, it seems like they had the ability to talk to our teams built in or just have that allowed in the way it was created. That's a great point, Parker, this is not the NFL. It's not MBA. We have no idea what their contract are, the driver, and the owner negotiate, NASCAR has nothing to do with it. There are no normal contracts, this driver, owner, everyone looks completely different. That's a great point. All right, Jay, you're on. What's up, guys? Love the show. First time caller. So I got a question about Corey Lajoie. Do you think he has a shot at a better cup ride? You know, with a generation of drivers about to retire or close to it. So 23 XI Tyler Reddick moved, Dale junior and Kelly thinking about joining the cut series. I mean, I think Corey has a chance at running better in the 48 car than Alex Bowman. That's my hot take,

"Especially 2019, Tyler Reddick goes to Xfinity as a title contender at Homestead Miami Speedway and beats what was then the big three in Xfinity Cole Custer, Jace Brisco, CRISPR bell, and that was a big moment in his career. For me, it was huge. I mean, he went, you know, he was not the guy that I was thinking would do this. On that particular day, I was pretty convinced that there was no way he would end the race with the car in one piece. And he not only beat them, he destroyed them. And you talked about it. The big three, and all three of those guys are in cup racing today. And on one of our more difficult racetracks, he did it. That really woke me up to Tyler Reddick and his ability, my biggest concern for real prior to that was, can he connect all the dots and put the whole race together? There's a lot of fast race car drivers. There's very few that can go fast and do it for 405 hundred miles. In that case, an Xfinity race shorter, but he was able to do it. The other thing that I think we can not pay attention to is that when Denny Hamlin was talking about how good Tyler Redick is, it's everywhere. He's a good plight razor. He's like a road course racer. He's a good short track racer. He's good at mount halves. And that's really important. Because what's the schedule going to be four years from now? Who knows? There's no telling. And so if you're looking to hire a young driver, you better have a guy that has proven over a period of time that he can run everywhere. I'm talking about a franchise guy. That guy, you can't have a weakness. Now, you're not going to be the best at everything, you got to continually be honing your craft. But it's easy to say, hey, we've got a lot of real course racing. Do we know that's what it's going to be 5 years from now? I mean, this schedule is never been this in the modern era has never been this flexible. He's also shown he can get better as a special road courses. So as a schedule changes, it evolves. Here's a guy you feel confident that can raise his game and match what the schedule demands. He was not a very good road racer, and he became one. Yes. And listen, I've never this is an exciting time in the sport. You got owners investing. Parker made a great point. This is how it used to be. When I was the one little time I was a hunk of modernity on the free agent market, no one said, hey, you got money? You got a sponsor? That wasn't the question. The question was, can you come and drive this damn thing? As hard as you can drive it and win races? Yeah, I can do that. You're hard. That was the deal. There was never a conversation about can you bring money? And that's where we're getting. And that's a great thing. And I know Parker, you can relate to that. I know you have some thoughts on that. I love that. That's my truck team right now. That's all I've ever asked me, which is greater than very happy with them. But no, I think, you know, just looking back, you mentioned him getting bet on road courses. There's no doubt that that occurred because, you know, just looking back at last year in the Cup Series, he was one of his prerogatives, was focusing on getting better road course racing and he did that and now got his first win on a road course, but I go all the way back to that 2018 first Xfinity series championship. I sat with Tyler and that junior motor sports team in that hall are probably midsummer. They were a bit lost. He had looked at me and said, I'm not sure if I'd figure out these cars right. It was so many questions about how to be successful in NASCAR. He went to homestead though, put on that incredible performance and from that moment onward, it became, you know, Tyler Redick,

You might have entered the wrong media availability session. Yeah, I actually, I don't think that he did. I'd like to announce to the media that today I would like to formally announce Tyler Redick is part of a future member of the 23 11 and Twitter racing family starting in 2024. So, hi, buddy. Hey. What's up? Thanks. Surprise? Surprise. Welcome to NASCAR American motor mouse. You just saw that's how the big news landed in NASCAR yesterday, Nate Ryan here with Jeff Burton, Dustin, are you in the room? What am I doing here? I'm not supposed to be here. That's the line is supposed to be here. He is in the right place. We also have Parker Kligerman joining us from Stanford a little bit here, but let's start discussing the news. I mean, your take, did you know that Tyler Reddick was going to go drive for 23 11 racing in 2024 before yesterday? Well, I'm not going to answer that question, but my first, I want to let everybody know that when I found out I was coming on the show with two writers, I downloaded the dictionary in my phone, so I would understand all the words that are going to be used today. We're ganging up on YouTube laptops versus zero. So listen. No, I did not know. And what was great about that video was urging watching the members of the media. They're all still think it's a joke. They're all like, ah, it's funny. They're like, wait a minute, this is real. I think it's a brilliant move by Denny Hamlin and his team. I think if you look at what Denny Hamlin is building there, I think he's done a great job. They're bringing in a guy that I believe is a franchise player. And if you think about Michael Jordan and one player can do a one great quarterback, one great driver can do one great player on NBA team. He can have a major impact, not just in an individual race, but in winning championships. And they believe they got their guy. And I think they did too. And I appreciate the aggressiveness. I hate it for Richard Childress racing. You guys know, I'm a huge fan of Richard Childress. I do think Richard has an opportunity here,

"In open wheel, you know, you really can't make a lot of contact with the drivers really, really sharp and really on it when it comes to the crossovers and really executing them well. In late models, I mean, you know, bump indoors is no big deal. You know, I think it's just where we were boxed in a little bit and where this move backfired on both of us is just, you know, we're still racing a stock car that's, you know, largely designed for asphalt racing and now more for road course racing and there's only so far we can turn the wheel each way and just a little bit more of counter steer to the right would have probably saved chase and it probably would have saved myself and we would have kept on going, but that was part of what made this race so exciting because us as drivers in this car really had to work hard to not overdo it because there's only so far you could turn the wheel and we're sliding the cars through the corner almost right at the edge, but I think if it was if it was under dirt cars or other types of dirt cars, this move probably wouldn't end it the way it did. It's just, it's just, you know, what we were the crazy things we were trying to do in the cars that we have on the racetrack. I think hundred sounded a little bitter right there. I think he's a Tyler Reddick fan, but I'm going to tell you. There's a lot more Tyler Reddick fans out there on the weekly basis the way you're running. Thank you for being a guest today. Thank you for coming in, taking some calls, man. And good luck the rest of the year, man. Great race yesterday, but good luck, rest of the year. Yeah, thank you guys for having me. It's great being on here and talking about last night some more. Hopefully I'm going to be in position to do that again, but make it through the final corner this time. There you go. I appreciate it. Good luck, for you. I thought the interesting part was like we had before he came on, and then you asked the question, there's a different set of rules for asphalt than dirt. As far as he sees it. We grew up on asphalt. So that's all I know. I only know the asphalt rules. Listen, I love sitting up here having an opinion. I feel all three of us have earned the right to have an opinion. But I love even more when the stars that are performing it come on here and they can agree, they can disagree and that's what makes the sport so good. We don't have to all agree on how we see it and get a little smarter when we talk to the guys involved. That was ultimately only their opinion. What really matters. What a class act to come on here and have to rehash all of this time I've done not just our questions, but then the fans won't ask their way too. I had a single problem. Back to that point. I heard they'll learn our senior tale of great Chris economaki one day until you said in that car at a 150° and you got a guy banging on your rear bumper. Don't try to guess what I'm thinking or what I'm doing in that car. And that's why you have to take yourself out of that sometimes. Because I mean, honestly, you keep wanting to say, well, what would I do? Well, I'm crazy. I would have pushed the button on the radio and yelled at someone. All right. All right, well, I.

"Of your car and your tires. So to do everything in my opinion, perfectly, and still not get the win. Is that a little more upsetting today? Well, I mean, definitely it looked like the last summer laps from outside looking in. It certainly looked like it about went perfectly, but from inside the scene of the car and this is the way our race played out. It was actually far from that. We were running third there around the time the first caution came out when cars were overheating and we were throwing a lot of mud off the racetrack onto the grills of our race cars. And from about that point on, we seemed to land on the inside line and my car was not too good on the bottom. I didn't have a lot of forward drive, but I could carry good momentum on the top side. And because of that, every time we restart on the bottom, I lost like two, three, four spots on the restarts and next thing I knew, middle stage two, I'm sitting in the 14th position and lost all my track position just because I couldn't fire on the bottom. So it was actually a very frustrating night for us. We then fortunately got the top on a few restarts and got our way back to tenth. Whenever that stage two came to an end and Randall made the great call to forgo coming in and get tires and just trying to get up front and get some track position because I guess at our car was good on the top and it was really hard to make the passes because I'd be running over the top of people in the middle of the corner almost and I couldn't really set it up to where I'd have enough momentum going down a straightaway to really make a pass. I'd have to pretty much go for a crazy slide job like chase was doing. The only two times are really past anybody throughout the night. I really had to drive it off in a third three like he did and just hope they got him outside of me lifted. So all right, so we got this last year. I know you got a lot of tweets and a lot of questions about it. It's already started up this year. What you run a million dirt races in your life. True, dirt tracks. This is a concrete track with dirt on top of it. Does the dirt react different? Does it race different? Because we keep getting well, if they want to run dirt, let them go run a real dirt race track, not a fake dirt race track. So explain to us how this race is different or the same is what eldora races or a true dirt racetrack races. Well, I mean, it's still a dirt track. I mean, it is. I mean, there's dirt on it. There's feet of dirt underneath. Underneath the top layer of dirt that we're racing on. And so to me, it is a dirt race, but it's very unique because it only is around for a couple of months out of the year. It's not like dirt tracks like eldora or dirt tracks you run, you know, on a weekly basis that have a full-time crew, if you will, working on it year, year round the clock that really know the surface, you know, the folks at Bristol Motor Speedway and the people that did the track work had a huge undertaking, trying to perfect this as quickly as they could with the limited amount of time they have. So, I mean, I think it did really well for our cars as heavy as they are, you know, Bristol is a track that's almost too big for, you know, for spring cars and light models. It's really, really fast and fun. But dirty air does seem to come into play a lot with the true dirt cars. So it ended up, it ends up working really good for us with our heavy cars. But I think there are a number of dirt tracks across the country that are stock cars that we have, you know, our next gen cars could really perform well on the car itself really surprised me with how much you could slide it around and how much grip it really had. All right, Tyler, your fans want to know and my fantasy team wants to know when you shake your crystal magic 8 ball and you look across the summer. Give me two or three tracks. I mean, you seem to be running great everywhere, and we know where you've been labeled, right? The Miami's the dirt, but I think it's a wider spectrum of tracks than that. What are the tracks you have circled that you're like, you just can't wait to get to with this new car and as good as your team is performing. Well, honestly, right now, Steve, I mean, I think it could be anywhere. And it just comes down to our preparation. The work that we put in during the week, how good, how well do our sim sessions go, you know, working on our setups, because really what we bring to the racetrack is really, you know, and what we race and unload in practice with, we're kind of locked in with that. So it's really important to have good weeks at the shop, good weeks.

"A class act. I'm on the same page with this, man. Oh. Now for the ripa from Stieglitz. So I'm going to tell you how it is as a crew guy. Before the drivers speak, I'm going to tell you as a crew guy. If my driver would have shook the hand of the guy that just wrecked me for the win, he'd be putting his own car together next week. Oh. I'm sorry. You know how hard I had to work to motivate guys to put cars together? I'm fine with an apology, but I am not okay with Tyler edick accepting it. Even if it's a bit of a show, put a show on for me. Look at Tyler Edith. Look at the crew members behind him. Nothing that crew member right there, you see a smile on his face? He ain't happy. So I appreciate I don't want to see fists. We had that a couple weeks ago. That was too much. But I'm not okay with this. I'm not looking behind this. Look at those two crew guys. They're okay with it. I mean, they were 9 and day. They sacrificed. They're away from home on Easter. To win a dirt race at Bristol. Now, I'm okay that they probably would have called them made up on Monday. They're very talented race car drivers who are going to have a lot of run ins, good and bad. And I'm okay with all that. But right then and there, I want to see Tyler Reddick to be a little more disappointed about what happened. I appreciate that he was doing some internal investigating that maybe he could have done a little bit better, but in the end, chase Briscoe took this one away. So are you okay with Chase Briscoe going there, which I think is an okay act. Rather than calling or sending a text this day and time. I appreciate you going there. You're saying and I think I agree that I would like to see a little more emotion maybe madness from Colorado. And maybe that's true. Maybe I have this pointed wrong, because I think chase Briscoe going down and admitting his fault helps a little bit, but I don't know. Man, I don't want to see, listen, KP. If you're my guy, at least act like we're back to back in this battle. I mean, you know, because that makes sense. I understand it's about the race car driver. But more than Tyler Reddick lost when that car went spinning through three and four. That makes sense. And listen, chase going down there. That's just an old school. Which that's cool. Yeah. I like that. Forget your phone. Don't FaceTime me. Don't tweet me. Don't text me. Don't call me and then talk to my kids on the phone, and then you finally get me on the phone and that's not yet. Just go talk to me. You know what I mean? And that's what guys used to do. So I do appreciate that piece of it. I might have missed out, fired up. Fired up about this one all day, but I can see your point. I see your point of view. Whenever it was live. Well, you could see those Christmas. They were not happy about the situation. Martin for one time, where I should have moved someone for the race win. It wasn't my style. I thought that I could pass it until he ran me on the wall coming out of turn four to get the checkered flag. Now I realize that good. And so but they were upset about that. So I get that and you're right. We're going to be in this together. We have to be in it together. Listen, he had a deal for 30 New Hampshire one day. A Gordon. Disagreed. And let me tell you. Who's it wrong? But if it was going to be a fight, we're all getting in the middle of it. We were all in it. Either way. All right, well, you know the good thing about this is we get some really good.

"I don't even know. I'm glad this is your segment. How drivers? And I know it pretty much goes with all competitions and athletics that you look at things differently when you're on one side. This is the other. But Kyle Busch is in a league by himself, I think, whenever it comes to this. And I have no problem with that. You know, I mean, you take them how you can get them. It's what he said. And I think as a race driver, you understand how difficult these are. Maybe not for him because you have a point now, 60 out of 6 15. That's pretty good percentage, but your thoughts on what you might have heard there. So I think if he had a chance to go back, he, well, I don't know if he would take back his comments. No, they look like coy Gibbs sitting next to him, which is he would take back his comments. Just because, listen, I didn't like what he said about Bowman backing into one, because like I said, I don't believe it will happen. So I'm not going to say that he backed into this one. He was there and he earned it. Sundays are too tough. You're not giving any of these ever. Yeah. I mean, there are too many cars, too many teams, too many drivers, and too many ways to lose one, you have to put yourself in position and I mean, listen, if he was a half a second farther back, I'm not sure if he beat Tyler right into the line. So you still control your vehicle in your results. Yeah. But, you know, I love cow, okay? 'cause it's our job easy. Yeah, 'cause he says, he says what he's thinking at that time. It's not tempered, it's not anything. And we condemn drivers for being too regimented. And then we condemn him for being unregulated and just unhinged sometimes. But what's fascinating is his reasoning for why he should have wanted to race was, he passed Kyle Larson one time. Yeah. And Kyle Larson's pretty good race car driver. So I ran up front. But he's right. He is right. It's not the greatest way to explain it, but you said it. He was running third. Listen, I want a race run in the field, okay? And you know what? I can look at the record book all day long and it doesn't say. Earnhardt and Walter up and rutman and Bodine crash. That's not what it says. It says W it says W and there's a trophy and there's a check. And I don't think you I've seen a couple of races that I said, that guy. He was a 29th place car and he wanted to race. You know what I mean? Joey Logano, his first win. Oh my gosh, I pulled my hair out. You know what I mean? I mean, I don't want to talk about it. Up in New Hampshire. Actually I don't know what I'm talking about. But you look at but you knew that was a team. That was a driver. They were going to be capable. You know, listen, we all, and Dale's right. I can twist every situation to my advantage and every situation why it's they always felt that I didn't do it. I'm just going to tip my hat to I think it was Jennifer who asked the question. It was a well pointed question in the media center. And as you said, in the NASCAR record books and every record book you found. It Kyle Busch's number 60 win. That's not going to say anything about how he came about that. And with all honesty, he's probably had a couple of taken away things that happened. I will say that. Your dad, I was talking to your dad and my dad and junior Johnson, honestly, at Hall of Fame thing one year. And they were talking about race wins and different stuff because you know how when they get together. They really love everyone. They lost. But and everyone I'm said the same thing. There's a scale. And for everyone you lose that way, you win one that way. And at the end of your career, most of the time it'll balance out, which is an interesting way and more than one driver, Hall of Fame driver thinks that way. Yeah. Okay. Well, let's get this is all about the fans, so let's go back to the phone lines. Who's there? Two thing. Hello. Hello. Hello. Oh, there you are, yes, sir. Go. Hey, go ahead. With the win last night for Kyle Busch, although he only let one lap didn't really dominate the race. Do you think it could turn around in season? And the next championship, this question. So that's an interesting point. I got asked that early today. I think today the question was, is this a spring vault for.

"Traffic. So I think if we would have got into lap traffic, we would have saw a lot more lead changes and more back and forth for the lead, at least. Hey, Christopher, now that you've been on pretty much every different type of racetrack you possibly can with this new car. Your thoughts on that, it seems like in my mind, as I've watched these races, you've been running really well in the majority of them, but now just cracking back into the top 16 of the points. Are you happy with what's been going on and are there changes you think need to be made to the car? Yeah, I mean, I think that, you know, just like the dirt track at Bristol, there are still areas that we can improve with the next gen car. The flat tire problem still hasn't been solved. So that's going to be an ongoing issue for at least a couple more races until they get an answer for it. But yeah, I mean, I think the product overall, whether we're at Las Vegas, California, Bristol dirt, or Atlanta super speedway. It's been a pretty good race. So overall, really happy with the car and I've had a ton of fun driving it. So, you know, I think there's some places that we've gone that the next gen car has been worse than the gen 6 car. And then there's other places that we've gone where the next gen car has been better. So you can chalk Bristol dirt up to probably a little bit better than the gen 6 car. Well, you know, the one beautiful thing about NASCAR, whether you like it or don't like it, is there's always another race, right? So when you're the winner, you got to forget about it quickly. If you have a bad week, you get to move on quickly. So let's look ahead. Go to Talladega, you know, one thing we talk about every time we go is it seems like it has some ebbs and flows of these organizations working together than every man for themselves and all these different things. The Toyota camp. It's the smallest camp. Is that an advantage so you can guys can stay on the same plane? Is it a disadvantage because you don't have enough cars? Because it seems like you can't have too many people invited to the dinner party. Yeah, I mean, that's a loaded question. So whenever it comes to pitch strategy, it's a disadvantage because we don't have the sheer numbers to go out and create the speed that the forward of the chevrolets do, generally. But on the flip side, it becomes a little bit easier if we can get us all on the same page to stick together. So we've been beating that drum pretty hard. The last couple of speedway races to try and get all of the Toyota cars to stick together and unite as a team. And we've done pretty well with that. Listen, this is my last question. I know Toyota's are nice, but do you live in your car? It seems like it. That's for sure. I mean, we're just we're doing this interview from your car. I'm like, this is great. We did tower Reddick one year, one time on this show,.

And by the way, cendrick finished 5th overall in his class, by the way. But yeah, he finished 5th overall in his class. So that's cool. We got in. We did.

We actually got a message from Troy Clark the RP Brian account. He's the one from across the other pond, right? He's through one of those pods, yes. Troy Clark says hello from Australia or as we call it straya. Okay, loving your work over the off season great to have some sort of normalcy in this messed up time. You probably watched my hometown of Melbourne on the news when the local government here kicked out that tennis knob divorced kick. I didn't even know how to say his name. Devos? I don't know. You could show how much I watched tennis. No Australian open for you is what he says. Is it a joke of it? I don't know. I really don't. I know there's an awesome there, isn't there? It's Novak Djokovic, right? Okay. Yeah. Right. Apart from that, not a lot has happened gone on down here as you know Larson didn't make it down here for this year's sprint car events, only residents granted entry anyhow have a great season with the pod and I hope that my man rowdy will be in the final four PS great to hear your interview with him after all the S you both have given him over the years. He sounded like he enjoyed and have a happy chat. So I well done again. Keep it up. He's talking about Kyle Busch was our encore interview last week. I totally forgot I talked to him last year. That's funny. Yeah, I do remember that, and I remember going into it, well, his PR person must not listen to the show. Right. So thank you Troy Clark for sending a Patreon message. We appreciate you down there. I think we're done now. Anybody else, you want to be included, send us, send us your thoughts. We'll include it in this Patreon section of the show.

"Spans these days is just what was I talking about? Well, I mean, prime example Clint Bowyer in the booth. That's our market here. That's what you're going to work about is people that just can't focus on something for a certain amount of time. I think this is going to be interesting. It will be interesting to see how these DJ things are in cautions turnout. It'll be interesting to see how these concerts as the race is happening turnout. But I've been intrigued. I'm intrigued by the whole thing. I'm going into it with a very open mind, and I think from a racing standpoint, the racing product will probably be pretty interesting. And I think for those that don't care about racing, that do attend will have enough big market events here in the form of music and entertainment that they will walk away going, that was pretty cool. We got to see a lot of cars crashing, and we got to see a bunch of cool music lacks. So I think you're going to see a lot of really cool stuff come out of this. All right, well, that's good. Bottom line is we've got racing starting, I think, slightly earlier, isn't it than normal? Like by a week? Yeah. And then we have a week off between, but yes. Yeah, no, I get that, but I don't remember it starting this early. There's that one. Why not? Typically they go the week after Super Bowl to start, but the Super Bowl is a week later this year because they added the extra regular season game to the schedule. So that's why NASCAR said, you know what? Let's go before them. And then let's go after them. Yeah, yeah. I'm kind of split the difference there. We still have the duels on the when is the 500 the 20th? Yeah. Yes, 20. So the duals are the 17th I'm guessing? Yes. And then is qualifying so the 13th? No, I think that's actually on Wednesday now. I think it's Wednesday. Oh, they moved 16. I believe. I think they move that last year, didn't they? I remember saying something on the show that qualifying is on Sunday and it turned out it wasn't and I felt like Monday night or something last year because they're trying prime time. It was different. I remember that. So maybe I should look at the schedule before we actually crack the mic for that show. Yeah. But I'm pretty sure it's Wednesday night, this time around. Okay. And then duels. And then 500 and then we're off to the races literally. We're literally off the races. I'm so excited. Man, 2022 is here, Carrie. This is what's all about. We have made it. We made it every year. We have a celebration about this. Because we have so much nothingness to talk about. Although this year, we were helped with a lot of news along in the way. It has actually been a pretty nice busy off season for us, which helped get us to this point. And we had a great, great bank of encore interviews. I know some fans may not like that. But I kind of like reliving those interviews. Yeah, and now it's time to dig the poll out of your teeth for a while because we've got these fresh ones coming. It's a good combination. We have something scheduled for next week, but I'm not going to say until it's actually recorded. So check your Facebook and Twitter for that. Because had you done that last week, we would have already let people down last week. Right. We were supposed to have Chris busher on the show. And 20 minutes go by and waiting for Chris, waiting for Chris 25 minutes go by. His PR person call, I have Chris for you. I'm out the door. I got to go to a doctor's appointment. Sorry. Yeah, I'm onto something else, pal. I had to turn down an interview. Yeah, that's wild. And you even like in your panic, like we're like, hey, can you handle this real quick? Right. I had another thing. Silent. We don't have time for Chris busher. Sorry about that. All right, let's hear from drivers and their thoughts on running the clash this weekend in Los Angeles.

"Any, I guess, the word I'm looking for is I'm actually a lot towards a pretty simple word, but it just longer to have my brain, but expectations. Yeah, there you go. Thank you. Expectations. That's doing a good job of not setting expectations if I can't even say the word. So I'm up to doing something right, at least. But yeah, he just can't have any, because you don't want to barricade yourself up, box yourself in. Before you really even know what this card has been raised or the door like on short track. Yeah, for sure. For sure. Now, obviously, this seems like maybe a test for something in the future. Could we see other pop up races in cities that NASCAR traditionally doesn't visit? Maybe personally I would love to see I would love to see if there's some street courses. I mean, this car and what we put it through here at the class is going to kind of give us a benchmark for that, I think. Doing the iRacing event on the streets of Chicago, that's reports with a lot of fun. That's something that I would love to see us do. And in real life, you know, it's a brand new car. And like I said, the places that we've raced that have worked for us with this last car may not work for us with this new part, or they may be working even better. It's the same thing as for nap star and the tracks and those deciding where we go race. They're going through the same process that the drivers and the teams and the fake news are. It's something totally new. You got to have an open mind about it. And you know, not be afraid to try new things. I think going through all the tough times that COVID-19 put us through, but nothing on a whole in 2020 and then shipping into what the normal became in 2021. We went through a lot of changes that a lot of us in the industry never thought would have ever been in reality. None of us would have ever thought we would just unload and go race. So even that open mind about what the potential path could be for this car is probably the best thing that we could do. As long as we can make entertaining racing, we should try and race this car as many places as we can all happen. And last question for Tyler Reddick, thank you so much for the time, but I can't believe this is a back seat question. The last question of the interview, the Daytona 500, that used to be all eyes on that, the total focus, but this year, there's so much else going on. I mean, are you even mentally prepared for the biggest race of the year? Absolutely. I'm not worried about about that in the sliders because the 500 is already sold out. There's a lot of excitement about this car, there's a lot of fans that showed up just to watch us test not even knowing that we were going to be doing any drafting. At our Daytona test. The third fans that showed up all the way out in Phoenix raceway as well. So it would be easy, certainly, to get so focused, hyper focused on the clash. But again, going in with no expectations is made that made that manageable, you know, realizing that the clash is the first race we're going to have first race with this car, but remaining really focused as well. And then our preparation for the 500. So everything that we do coming up this weekend for this race, how we prepare what we're taking. As much as we want to go into this race and win and run really well, our first our first focus our primary focus still remains on a 500 as it should. It's our biggest race. It's our first point race. You can start your off really well running last for sure. Build some momentum. But we know that winning a 500 is certainly for these first two races, at least the bigger of the two for us. So we're going to go into this class and have a lot of fun and enjoy it. All right, very cool. His name is Tyler Reddick, best of luck with the next gen car. The clash, the Daytona 520 22, thank you so much for being on the show. Absolutely. Thank you.

"Look forward to seeing you Sunday in Kansas. Sounds good. Thanks, guys. Thanks for having me. My man. What Daniels joining us and certainly that team on a roll, and I know it's got to be relaxing for them to enjoy this week. When we come back, Tyler reticle will join us here on motor mouse. What happened this weekend at Kansas Kyle? We're gonna be busy. Pre race show on Saturday, the next 50 series racing. Those are on NBC. We see us in for the Cup Series race. Big hour long pre ratio. See all that wind back there Kyle, that's gonna be, is that Kansas? You and me and DJ on the front of the grid. Hoping at the blog. It's gonna be windy. Weather looks like it's gonna be good this weekend. Can I wait to get to Kansas? I know another guy who can't wait to get to Kansas. Tyler Reddick because he has been mister playoff disrupter lately, running up front. Nearly won the race at Texas, we welcome in Tyler Reddick. And I tell you what, I wonder how you feel like the 18 has really established themselves in these playoff Tyler because week after week you guys were up there with a chance to win the race. Yeah, certainly, Marty, the last three weeks have been a lot of fun. Pretty much ever since we unfortunately missed the cut by about two points. It seems about that point on when it was very easy to give up. We haven't done that at all. We've dug down deep and we've continued to put out really, really fast Chevrolet's. And, you know, we just keep fighting. Unfortunately, not for a championship, but for own personal goals. And I mean, it doesn't get talked about that often, but still, there's huge points battle from 16th to 5th. As soon as these playoffs got rolling in his more teams, get eliminated. There's a lot of points in a lot of positions up for grabs. So I mean, if we can win a race, that'd be great. But we're also still trying to get as many points as we can. And best case, we can finish 5th. I think we're 12th right now. So we still got work to do. Tyler, I'm glad this is your background because I remember doing one of these things with you and you walked all around the house trying to find signal one time when we were doing it. We finally ended up out on the porch. That was a fantastic way. To expand on that, you have been the hot topic of conversation for the last two or three weeks. And you had some moments during the year where we said, okay, this is going to be the race. This is going to be the race. But when you start doing it every week, like you're doing it right now. Then that wins right around the corner. How close do you think you guys really are at this point in time when it gets tougher at the end of the season? And what has been the change that has brought you guys this fast this forward? Well, we just continue to work on the details as some of us that have that have the Cup Series experience knows you've got to be good everywhere. Pit road restart. You can't afford to make mistakes in any area. And while we recognize that and while something we continue to make better, still, throughout the entire year, we haven't had a race yet that was completely mistake free and in each of those words that really close like the role Texas and in some races earlier in the year. We were able to point to one or two mistakes that ultimately are the deciding factor. So we can just have one race between now and the championship forward that's being decided at Phoenix. We'll mistake free race. I think we we've now rounded our team enough and gotten better. On all fronts enough to be able to get a win. It's just can't do stuff like that. I can't be running to William Byron trying to get the perfect side draft and get loose and try and crash in front of the field. It's a little mistakes, man, but we're spending more time up front. We're getting closer. And while the mistake free race hasn't happened yet on my behalf, the team sure rallied. We've been working really hard. So Tyler, I'm going to take you out of your driver mode now you've answered those questions. I want to put you in the mode of an analyst and get the talk like we are about the Xfinity series, which are two time champion of that. When you look at this lineup and the battle that's going on right now and a number of playoffs, non playoff drivers are winning these races. What are these drivers the pressure that they're under? And what's it like going to Kansas in that situation? But it's a tough one. And in my situation, well, I think when I was with junior motor sports, it was kind of a calmer day, more straightforward, went pretty well. We got out of there without getting ourselves in trouble. I believe that race a couple of years ago, a lot of cars got collected in a lap one crash that wiped out a lot of playoff. Contenders. The time after that was the one that me and Cole Custer gotten a little pushing match like you see some kids getting it in the sandbox and the playground. We got a little shovel map, so you guys still hear me? Yeah, we got you. Go ahead. Yeah. Okay, sorry. Yeah, it's an easy place to make mistakes. Cancel the type of track where there is some tire fall off the expand cars. You have the gas. You got to really search across the racetrack. So it's an edgy place, but the cars that are going to be fast are going to be front all day long, and the guys that don't have the cars is going to be very easy to make that mistake, get in the wall and end your day, or, you know, I guess the Xfinity car just you can hit the wall it'd be fine. I've done it, but you don't want to crash. That's pretty easy to do at Kansas. I've done it a few times myself. It's edgy in that wind doesn't help, does it? I mean, it's just pushing you into the wall. That's huge. Absolutely. The wind is a big deal, especially for the rich many cars. We have someone on the line for you here. NASCAR is on the line to chat with you, Tyler. NASCAR, go ahead, you're on the line with Tyler Reddick. Hey, Tyler, thanks for taking the time. You know, you are right now driving on rails. But I feel RCR.

"Car doesn't know that another car in the fleet one last week you're dependent on that car you are dependent on. Obviously what the car can give you at what you're able to maximize out of that car. I'm a huge fan of competence. And i think rhyme lady has that who would have thought that after twenty five racist that ryan blaney would be the only driver to have two wins and kevin harvick would have none brad. Keselowski joined gone. What have one. And i think ryan blaney to talk about this morning a little bit on. Tm date. I think he gets overlooked a lot based on his demeanor. He's not an in your face kind of guy. He's not outgoing and gregarious. Yeah he's got that sly sense of humor is just a cool dude to be around. But i think ryan gets overlooked a lot if they can get the fords right over there at penske him and todd gordon. I think todd got something to prove. He's coming to the end of the crew cheating road at the end of the year. Maybe ryan blaney once the playoffs. Start at darlington. Couldn't be could be. That could be the sleeper. In this thing they could be the dark horse and maybe they can start making some strides in momentum. But i am a believer in confidence. I think ryan blaney. He's got a lot of that coming into daytona this weekend. Well what a dummy this they ended in what you're saying there Two drivers that won sixteen races between them. Last year kevin harvick nine denny hamlin seven. What are their car saying about them and their confidence at both have zero so far. I'm sorry those cars able to go toe to toe with those hendrix chevrolets. Isn't that the head scratcher who thought we'd be at the race. Twenty five guys that one half the schedule last year or half the races just about winless so far and really in the case of kevin harvick unless something happens i don't see him pulling off a win denny hamlin we all know he's great when he goes to daytona but kenny milk. A little more out of that this coming weekend and get his first win of the year. I think in order to do that. He's going to have to get through a lot of other drivers ryan. Blaney being one of them the hendrick guys being others and then there's that longshot possibility that everyone's hoping for we'll see we'll see what happens but i don't know my communist level is low in those two drivers heading into this weekend and even into the playoffs when we get going at darlington. Yeah so much to predict airbag. Now i'm gonna look at the history though the first race i have recovered at daytona. To tell these guys earlier july two thousand one one by junior the nascar. Abc guest on your siriusxm program. Today was still junior. I understand he talked about that. That's still really resonates with nascar nation. Doesn't it and it still resonates with him. We got an emotional response. And he walked us through the snapshots of his of his mind and his recollection as he was going to the end of that race and i still reflect back on that moment. You know there are. There are moments that you can list on one hand that could be considered seminal moments in this sport and in my opinion based on what we had in february of two thousand one him coming back to daytona in july of two thousand one and winning was one of those moments that gave us permission to be to be happy again and to and to celebrate little. Did we know that that emotion that dale earnhardt jr. brought us out of after february would ultimately carry us through another emotional moment in september when he wanted a tone or when he wanted to dover when we came back after the nine eleven brain. Someone's going to have their own big moment to someone's xfinity and cup at daytona. This weekend at all kicks off. Friday night seven. Pm eastern on nbc then..

"That our dear friend and colleague robin miller had passed at the age of seventy one. A man hobie dearly missed we have a nice tribute. Voiced by lee dickey. A true friend always tells you the truth. Even when it's hard to hear and robin miller was that friend to open wheel racing born in indianapolis a native hoosier robin could not wait to be part of the action. At a young age he stitched for jim. Hurtubise at the indy-500 drove usak midgets in the seventies and eighties. All while covering the racing scene as a newspaper reporter for the indianapolis star robin style was very matter of fact calling out owners and drivers alike as long as they keep treating this like a monopoly game. Nobody's going to respect them but he was always quick to sing the praises of those same people when they earned it. What a future. This kid's got pretty good way to start. is eating. Apples motor speedway career after making his mark as a writer. Robin brought his distinctive storytelling style to broadcasting flourishing at espn speed channel. And who could forget. Those grid runs with nbc sports. How is it. This guy has a job and i don't 'cause you took the by and i got a lot of debt race fans always look forward to whatever robin would say knicks whether it be on it or in his mile bag from rice magazine even if they only wanted to passionately disagree. Even if you didn't love robin you respected him. For speaking the truth he was the one who pushed us. All to make the sport he loved so much better. There's no disputing. he did. Just that as only robin miller could robin miller. I saw him this morning. This one's for you baby. We love you robin everything that you do. The motorsport hall of fame inducted day for cancer and leukemia. For lengthy tom. He survived by his sister. Diane her family and the entire motorsport community godspeed. Robin well robin miller. Certainly one of a kind. I'd take some solace in knowing just how much that that weekend the double header at indianapolis meant to him being inducted in the motorsports hall of fame when he got to spend the whole day with. Aj foyt among other legends. Mario andretti and i know how much that meant to him. On a personal side to me. When i first came on with with nbc. I didn't know much about motorsports in general and certainly didn't know much about indycar racing. He never held that against me instead. He just regaled with tales from fifty years ago from ten years ago from five years ago he never had too little time for you and his sense of humor was just off the charts. It was wicked. I never walked away from a conversation with robin without without a little chuckle. So that's he meant to me. I think what. I'll remember about him. Being at indianapolis motor speedway a couple of weekends ago. Kelly was that they had that really nice tribute forum in the media center. But i think he was more enthused. I'm sure i know he was touched by that. And that meant a lot to him. But i think what might have been. The highlight of that weekend was interviewed. Jimmy johnson and talk to about and we saw jimmy taking a salty with them there during that wonderful piece and robin asked him about the indy. Five hundred and got to talk to him about all that that is what the essence of robin miller was constantly talking to all the big names as we see. Here mario andretti. Aj foy johnny. Rutherford bobby unser and taking that information and putting breaking news out there but putting a really sharp columns. He pulled no punches. I mean again like all the faces. We decided that video. Dan gurney j. Foyt mario andretti. He didn't write. Puff pieces about these guys. That wasn't why they respected him. So much and conservative befriend. It was because of the respect they had for journalism and his opinions and the fact that he was always stay true to what he believed in and he had a huge legion of fans who read and hung on his every word. Because of that you know just to put a nascar take on this because everybody knows what a great indycar reporting was but on there forgetting two thousand and three. He broke three of the biggest stories and ask are they. Are he broke that. Rjr was leaving as the title sponsor. Broke that the southern five hundred was moving off of labor day from darlington. Fontana any broke that. Brian francis taking over at the nascar chairman and that to me spoke volumes just about the connections and the level of reporters. That robin miller had the auto racing use a giant. Yeah i think the word that you just use. Respect is something that when i every time that i saw him. That's the first thing that came to my mind. The respect that he had in the world of motor sports. And yes i know that that open-wheel and indycar was his forte. Basically but he knew so much about every single form of motor sports. He knew the people that were in there. And it didn't make any difference what your name was and how successful you were as you pointed out. He didn't mind Being that person that either ask the hard question or said the things that other people were only thinking about saying. But wouldn't dare go there. And i i had that much respect for him and which i would have known him even better but i did enjoy stories and the things that he had to talk about. And you only come across people like that every so often and still is someone that will be missed in the world of motorsports. There will never be another quite like robin miller. Thank you guys. we'll be back. Are you tired of wasting time. Making trips to the grocery store. Waiting in checkout lines and overpaying for groceries every week we thought so luckily there's a better way. Misfits market.

"Tyler. Radic is on and he breaks down some of the things. He's made mistakes on in the last few weeks. A couple of areas by the biggest one been probably the most notable here last year. Three weeks is just gotta continue to get better pit road. Charlie was very challenging. One for us is that arm really running anywhere in your lights on. But with the nature of that race and no matter of lack of comfort that i had running really really close to the served. The maximum speed limit allowed lifestyle larson. Good all night really rolling back. Really good was very often in that regard. But i was absolutely terrified. I'm being quite honest. Have penalty completely. Derail what you know could be very a very manageable and realistic our top dating with those not little crumbs left on the table but Find ways you're better it all. It's it's rolling road have been getting better. Getting monitor road getting off road getting the box getting better but rolling road work nine on then. Disappointing little minor breitbart sermon state. Long leg This month or so and one one re-start erase. Let's say. I cured the wrong lane to where the guard.

"The final lap with kerry murphy is is on tyler. Radic is coming off of a top ten finish at dover this past weekend and he tells us where the possible passing zones are at circuit of the americas coming up next on the cup series schedule. This weekend i could be wrong. Obviously i've never heard of course racer or ran very well on them. Besides the clash beginning of the year. I think you would You have some options. When you go onto this race you can kind of pick and choose between where you can make your car stronger. But it's tough because you really want to be fast if you have the track position through through the ashes at the very important part of the lap and if female nail that right it's gonna be a great lap. You miss it. You're gonna have a terrible lap. You a car. That can get through this as good. But it's really hard to pass going through that section of the race. Track the easier places to pass with the heavy braking zones obviously and some of the slower areas On the other side of the back side of the track by the carousel and that stadium section. So i think drivers will be debating with the crew chiefs in themselves. Like what. What do we do here. Do we be pretty good everywhere. We're going to give up some in the areas where it's hard to pass and and try and push to have a better car that can attack pass in those areas where i think you'll see more of that action so many unknowns for the cup series this weekend at circuit of the americas in austin texas check out all the action sunday four pm eastern on f s one

Catch Chevy for our CR tyler. Rettig straight off of what seventh-place good rundown demand by last lap. Air Jones had a problem there and was right on my tail and he was about to get that position from me but had to fight hard those last few laps and was able to close it out with some place. Finish dollar your fast all day long. And you know what? What was it about your car? Were you surprised at how good it was? And where do you think you were the strongest? And how are you able to get you know? Drive yourself up through the field. You had to pass a lot of cars all day long. Yeah I made a few mistakes on the first start and really didn't pass anybody and then after the second start that we had there I I really didn't get going at all. I was probably further back than what I started. And then all of a sudden I just start rolling the top one into pretty good runs close to the fence before it really got rub it in and we hope to make a lot of time up there but Yeah it was a tough day. I mean we just finally got tradition in the top five caught. Peace that Louis New Banner and We tried to fix that and get that off the car we had a control. Tyre and all the way back to twenty three. Start of the day add. Add to come to the front again or try to Best we got with seven so tyler junior. Now we're talking during the race about your line you and how you just mentioned it. Run highlight and wanted to a lot of people. Run the high line in the middle of the. You're running it on the exit until you actually use a lot of racetrack up kind of no man's land if if you got two or three inches too far out you're gonNA hit the wall. How are you so confident to run up there at such a young age? Well Great Valentine's in the simulator? We tire out of the tires. It Brad Miller of it actually didn't slow the car down that much and it actually felt really really good. I was really surprised that even worked in the simulator and obviously we all know de Hamlin makes a credible amount of time even more inexpensive expanding cars than than a cup car but with today star fall off that we saw that line came into play really early and I was almost scared like what Danny likes joke about is. I don't want to use it too much and show my hand but it was so Dang fast at times that it was it was it was hard not to run in it but we definitely for sure about halfway through the race made a few wrong adjustments and it allowed everybody else to catch up to us but I mean I got braces Darlington race. That long it's going to change more than I've ever experienced there an xfinity car so that was. It was definitely a challenge today.
