Motorsports Weekend Highlights
00:01:20
Speaker
Welcome everybody to another episode of Speedway Stories and Combine Conversation. It's your host Waller here tonight. How is everybody doing tonight? um We're going to do a recap kind of of the motorsports weekend of highlights from racing and stuff this weekend.
00:01:38
Speaker
And I'm going to have buddy of mine come on. We're going to talk some racing and motorsports here in a little while. um One of the big highlights this weekend was seeing Cletus McFarlane racing Saturday the Daytona 500.
00:01:52
Speaker
He's a big, avid drag racer and stuff down in Florida, known worldwide. It was pretty neat seeing and him stepping into the NASCAR world and racing.
00:02:04
Speaker
That was exciting to see. i mean, it just showed anybody can do anything. You stick your mind to and work hard for it. So, uh, But yeah, that was one of the highlights of the weekend for that side. And then the Daytona 500, Dale Jr. ah debuted his racing team for the 500. And they actually got a top 10 finish the this past Sunday, which was a big, huge accomplishment for the history that he has with that track and everything else.
00:02:36
Speaker
Of course, everybody knows his father passed away back 2001. two thousand and one At that race, why him and Waltrip ended up finishing 1-2 in that race. so It's a big feat, in my opinion, for Dale Jr. to do what he did and stuff.
00:02:55
Speaker
the Put a team together and go race in there. and Recap, another thing was there was couple weeks ago down in Florida, in that area, they did a drag and drive event called Sick Week, which is...
00:03:11
Speaker
You hit multiple tracks traveling all over, put time slips in, a bunch of hot rod enthusiasts. I had a lot of local people I knew from here in Ohio go down and was in it and stuff and enjoyed themselves.
00:03:27
Speaker
couple of them were misfortunate, had some mishaps, but they really enjoyed themselves and everything else. So.

NASCAR Season Start and Car Design Changes
00:05:00
Speaker
Night. So like I said, recap.
00:05:04
Speaker
oh Big weekend. NASCAR week started. NASCAR's kick-to-season. What's going on, man? um they ah But yeah, he is running a behind a little bit. Had some family stuff to take care of, bub.
00:05:21
Speaker
So he'll be here in a little while. But yeah, we'll It's, a
00:05:36
Speaker
hang on a minute.
00:05:56
Speaker
Give me one second, folks.
00:06:35
Speaker
yeah Yeah, with the NASCAR starting this weekend, there was a lot of excitement and everything else. And they changed the i scene. They changed the designs of the cars and everything from what they were and stuff. So it's going to be a different season. They had a car actually go airborne and flip over. So that was kind of crazy to see that happen, watching the highlights of of that and stuff. So so it was it was definitely interesting.
00:07:04
Speaker
um for them to have that. so Then there was the motocross weekend. There was a lot of big big changes. Some of the big names not racing and being out for the weekend.
00:07:20
Speaker
Won't be back actually until the outdoor series. Eli Tomek and Jet Lawrence, they both messed up their legs pretty bad. so it was It was interesting to see that.
00:07:33
Speaker
with Sexton and all those guys changing everything around and doing that stuff, so...
00:08:05
Speaker
But yeah, they it was
00:08:10
Speaker
but yeah it was interesting to see just the highlights of how the weekend went for the racing community. There's a lot. Season basically is kicking off for everybody, so it was it was definitely there it was definitely different. scene Crazy to believe NASCAR already started and and the way things are going in that aspect of everything, so.
00:08:33
Speaker
Thanks, Glick, for doing that, man. I appreciate it.
00:08:41
Speaker
But, yeah, they ah it's going to be an interesting of season, especially the way these new cars are set up and everything else. I don't know. I still say they should go back to the old ways the way it used to be, but they're trying to get new, new blood and stuff in. But me personally, i don't think the way things are going, it's not going to happen very well.
00:09:06
Speaker
But the highlight was, like I said, for the NASCAR weekend,
NASCAR's Future and Audience Engagement
00:09:09
Speaker
we'll see in Cletus McFarlane. I mean, big name in drag racing, doing down there at Freedom Factory in Florida. It, uh,
00:09:18
Speaker
He really ah stepped up his game, was doing really good until he had a mishap and got in an accident and stuff. So, I mean, hopefully there's more chances for that man to race because he was doing great. And NASCAR actually allowed him to do his YouTube channel in car while he was racing, which is unheard of and finally being allowed to do so I mean, it made it nice to see that aspect of it, guys fans.
00:09:48
Speaker
So, what's up, OG? How you doing tonight, man? ah But, yeah, they ah I really enjoyed seeing it, watching it. Finally watched it on his channel and stuff. was pretty cool to see that. so What's up, Benji?
00:10:05
Speaker
Sorry about that, man. Oh, you're all good, bud. It's all good. was just kind of recapping of what I rewatched of the NASCAR for from the weekend that I caught highlights of.
00:10:17
Speaker
Sounds like i need to go watch a couple of those highlights. Someone going airborne. Oh, man. Dude, that that was something else. But actually seeing Cletus McFarlane actually racing for ARCA over the weekend was amazing.
00:10:30
Speaker
They actually allowed him to do his YouTube channel in car camera while he was racing. I thought I was seeing something about him getting put on suspension or something. Yeah, they ended up, they got him, there's some ordeal going on His car was illegal.
00:10:49
Speaker
They found some illegal stuff with his car. So was he so there's, how many cars is there normally? um I think 43, but the race he was doing for ARCA, I think they only had like 30 cars, which is like the baby series of NASCAR, which he was racing Friday night, Friday or Saturday.
00:11:13
Speaker
Okay. And I guess he had an illegal suspension set up in a wedge in the back end of his car after the wreck they found it and everything else. so Sure. And there's going to be some hiccups from someone who knows, who's just and just trying to get into It's really cool that they're allowing him to kind of do that, which to give NASCAR credit, they have to do something, right? why We talked about this on on one of the episodes I had you up on, man.
00:11:38
Speaker
They have to bring in the people anymore. It's just a dying sport. I mean. yeah So I actually had a yeah NASCAR question for you. How many manufacturers are in the actual NASCAR series? Is it just Ford, Chevy, and Toyota?
00:11:55
Speaker
For now. Dodge announced that they're actually coming back in 2026. Very funny because ah wrote some stuff down. I was telling you. yeah And I think they should.
00:12:06
Speaker
My very first one I hear, Dodge needs to get back in it. Yep. I'm going to have a, I'm going to have two foreign cars that need to get in it. Right. What I'm going to be super controversial, but I was trying to go huge manufacturer here in the States.
00:12:23
Speaker
Can I take a guess? It it is before you tell us, uh, I think you'll, I want you to try I'm going be really hard. Would Mercedes actually be one of them?
00:12:35
Speaker
No, because I don't think they're big enough. I think they're big enough brand, but big and big enough here manufacturing in the States. I'm thinking big manufacturing here in the States. The one that's probably less controversial would be BMW.
00:12:49
Speaker
Yeah, true. you're out of They're out of South Carolina and they've got multiple manufacturing facilities and they're monstrously big. I know the one that's in South Carolina is one mile long, one mile wide.
00:13:01
Speaker
Wow. Yep. And the other one is in Alabama, and it's a huge one. Really? It's going to really controversial, but I think it brings in a foreign market that's interesting, Hyundai, or Hyundai, or however you say it.
00:13:19
Speaker
yeah that actually Yeah, because they're the next they're one of the largest here. foreign ones that i mean I mean, you've got to figure, if Toyota's got their hand in the game, why shouldn't the next biggest import really you know popular manufactured car? Why not?
00:13:35
Speaker
I get it. I i agree with you. yeah It brings in the Korean market as well. Right. and I think you to have to do something, right? and the Well, like we were talking too, I still say they need to take like the Le Mans format and kind of kind of mix it in except use the truck series, the Infinity series. You know, they can even do the Arca series. Just break it off like they do in the Le Mans like we talked when I had you a guest on the show before.
00:14:02
Speaker
yeah it will it will brought It will expand the horizon of the NASCAR market if they go to that because like you said and me and you, Jeff, were talking, they've got to do something other than just your normal plain Jane because we're a dying breed of what the old generation of NASCAR was. There's not many left anymore. And you want to bring in new people.
00:14:27
Speaker
You're going to have to do like the ideas you said, bring in the foreign aspect that actually draws more people. And I mean, Toyota
International Racing Comparisons
00:14:34
Speaker
has done pretty good with what they've done, but yeah, I'm with you. They need to bring in more of another side, at least to compete with, you know, kind of open it up more, but,
00:14:47
Speaker
As long as we've got a bunch of old heads around a NASCAR, it ain't going to happen. I hate to say it. It's kind of tough, man. It's really tough because they can bring in foreign money. They can bring in foreign viewership.
00:14:59
Speaker
They can bring in foreign people on YouTube. <unk> There's a whole lot of stuff that they could they could do differently to bring in an audience other than an American audience. it could right Everything is it's worldwide now.
00:15:13
Speaker
Yeah, so it's it's it's an they're they're honestly, in my opinion, out of all the motorsports, they're the most un they they're the only ones that have not tapped into the worldwide.
00:15:24
Speaker
I mean, look at truck and tractor pulling over in Europe. They've started their own. It's a big thing over there. um Drag racing is huge in Australia and stuff, and it's big over in Europe. I mean, it's everywhere, but like you said, NASCAR is stuck in that one-dimensional tunnel vision, and it's like they're afraid to open up opened the door up to great potentials that's been there for, what would you say, last 20 years at least, minimum, that they haven't touched, really?
00:15:56
Speaker
At least, and it was kind of controversial when Toyota came in. Oh, it was. Yeah, I remember that. so Which I don't understand, because they're they're there's a huge... mean, Toyota is...
00:16:08
Speaker
It's a monster company. Monster company. Global. They've got a huge manufacturing facility in I think it's Chicago or in the Illinois area.
00:16:19
Speaker
We have one in Marysville, Ohio that's huge. i mean It's one of bigger plants and stuff ah here in Ohio. i mean it but yeah and then The other thing is too, with Toyota, you figure they own Lexus. You figure you'd see something They tried to bring in something with that line, too, as popular as that is, instead of just straight going.
00:16:40
Speaker
They went to the Toyota Supra this year with the new versions of the cars, I guess. So that's their version of it. and said Because in the previous years, they were using the Celica as their stickers on the body of the cars. This year, it's Toyota Supra for it. so Interesting. And this is for NASCAR? Yeah.
00:17:01
Speaker
Yeah. And yeah you got and you got you can do Mazda because they're going to come out with a new supercar as well. cause Right. Well, heck, Toyota, it just... came out with, what is it, a new engine that was, well, Toyota had a four-cylinder car that was producing like 700 or 800 horsepower, a four-cylinder car.
00:17:21
Speaker
Then one of the manufacturers, ah can't remember which one it is, did some, a water engine recently. Jeff just sent me the link about that. I can't remember. Actually, hang on, I'll tell you.
00:17:33
Speaker
um But yeah, there's a there's actually a link for it and everything else that Jeff sent me, and I thought it was kind of cool. ah hang on a minute It would be cool to see Mercedes in there. They got their AMG series. They could do like a G63 AMG.
00:17:49
Speaker
Porsche came up with the hydro motor. It's a six-cylinder hydro motor is what they're working on. Dude, that'd be nasty. You Porsche and NASCAR as well because they have the Porsche Panamera. Right.
00:18:00
Speaker
Yeah, because it has to be a four-door car, right? Yeah, at least. Yeah. Okay. But my thing is with Toyota, the Celica was only a two-door car. I'm surprised they're not running the Camry.
00:18:11
Speaker
Yeah, but it's it is. They went from the Celica. Well, first year it was Camry. They went to the Celica. And they stayed with that for like the last two years. And now they're, this year they introduced the Toyota Supra in the mix now. So so what's the Mustang? so or Sorry, was so the Ford is a Mustang then?
00:18:32
Speaker
Yep, they're using the Mustang now. So they're using doors. don't know what GM's doing with theirs. So, I mean, that's the thing. I don't know if they got away from the Camaro body. i don't know what they're using because I really didn't see.
00:18:44
Speaker
But, yeah, Ford's still using the Mustang platform. Well, platform lookalike stickers, but yeah. So, I mean, if that's the case, then they could cut back on how many different teams they have or just instead of running 43, let's just run 60 and allow other manufacturers to get in.
00:19:00
Speaker
i mean, it does nothing but grow the sport and they could probably revitalize some of these older tracks that don't get used that much. Exactly. I don't know. Why not bring in like a couple road tracks like VR, which is Virginia International Raceway.
00:19:16
Speaker
There's some old tracks that are sitting around that get used a lot for WEC racing or GT racing f four right that NASCAR could get in. They'd probably have to do some upgrades to the tracks, but it's NASCAR money.
00:19:31
Speaker
Right, but that's like the thing when the guy opened the NASCAR track down in Kentucky to do the, when it was the, it's the Infinity Series. Hell, now it's turned into NASCAR pulled it out of there because they said they weren't getting enough crowds, even though they sold out every time they went to this track.
00:19:50
Speaker
And now it's a storage unit for Ford vehicles that aren't fully assembled. I don't really understand. i really don't understand NASCAR going in and out of tracks.
00:20:03
Speaker
Yeah, so I don't either. But they've they've changed. They've dropped like their playoff series, what I've looked They've changed so many tracks over the last 10 years that they've done the playoff series.
00:20:16
Speaker
They went where they weren't doing, but they had their top 10 tracks and you only went back once. Now you're going back to Homestead twice in the playoff series, which ends up.
00:20:28
Speaker
Second race of the playoffs and then the last race decides basically the championship. It used to be they picked 10 different main tracks to use and now they're like doubling up.
00:20:38
Speaker
They're using Martinsville twice. They're using Talladega twice for the playoffs and then they're using Homestead. It's like a repeat thing, but they're dividing them in between like go every two races until the final race of the year.
00:20:52
Speaker
But yeahre yeah, they've kind of got away from using multiple tracks and it's like why? It's kind of weird. It took Rockingham away for a long time.
00:21:04
Speaker
Yeah. And it's still sitting stagnant for a while. They only use it for like the ARCA races and road course races. Oh, so NASCAR went away from it again? Yeah. yeahp Have you ever been near Rockingham? drug or No, I've never been. I've seen videos of like that whole setup, the drag strip, the racetrack, everything.
00:21:26
Speaker
I've seen videos and pictures of that place. I get why they call it The Rock. I mean, it's a gorgeous place for where it's at, but it's just underutilized. Yeah, man, there's nothing there either.
00:21:38
Speaker
So where I lived in Charlotte, I owned a beach house, right? So Charlotte was here and my beach house was here. So i had to go past The Rock. you know, I, uh, cause every, all the time, i mean, i literally went past that drag that.
00:21:50
Speaker
Well, so, so the drag strip is a solid 10, 15 minutes from the the NASCAR place. Right. ah It's, it's, theres there's, there's a little bit of distance between the two, but man, there's, there's nothing there. I mean, Rockinghead or,
00:22:04
Speaker
ah that whole area, I can't even remember what it's called, because i didn't even care, there was nothing there.
Celebrities in Racing
00:22:09
Speaker
There's not that much, like, at all, like, on the way of, like, in the way of, like, hotels.
00:22:15
Speaker
Where are you staying? There's there's nothing there. if you're Exactly. well that's like Well, that's like they build up Charlotte Speedway and stuff because of the area it's built up where they've got stuff to keep the fans entertained before the races and everything.
00:22:29
Speaker
See, that's what I was reading, too. NASCAR's trying to get away from places that it's not, the towns aren't busy so business savvy with like you just described.
00:22:41
Speaker
You've got to still stay 15, 20 minutes away to go to a race, and a lot of people don't want to do that anymore. All right. let me So I lived in Charlotte. i will Here's my two cents about Charlotte Motor Speedway. Go ahead.
00:22:53
Speaker
Why is it Charlotte Motor Speedway? No clue. It's not in Charlotte. It's in Concord.
00:23:01
Speaker
Really? Why? look Look it up on the map. It's in Concord. It's not in Charlotte. Right. Huh? Yes. On Bruton Smith Boulevard is it is it is next to Concord Mills Mall, which is a great mall.
00:23:16
Speaker
they're They're right down the street from each other. It's Concord. It's not Charlotte. But yeah, they that. Well, that's that's the thing. That's I mean, there's a lot of places that are that way. It's like National Trails that consider for here in Ohio.
00:23:30
Speaker
They call it Columbus, but it's actually Heber, Ohio. It's actually in Licking County. It's actually part of like Nork and Heath around here. But they still say it's Columbus, Ohio, when it's technically a Licking County.
00:23:43
Speaker
It's in Licking County here in Ohio. I guess New York Jets, New Jersey Jets kind situation. Yeah. I don't understand how Concord is okay with that because Concord is not – and not a not bustling city. It's not a mega city like Charlotte.
00:23:58
Speaker
right but theres You're not staying in Charlotte if you go to the racetrack. You're staying in Concord. Concord is built up for that area. It's been that way ever since they've had that racetrack. It's very strange. You're minutes on good traffic.
00:24:19
Speaker
you're forty five minutes away from charlotte on shit traffic it's It's not right down the street. it's It's very funny. always thought that was that was goofy, that it was like that. so yeah yeah yeah Yeah, I'll have to watch some stuff. Did you talk about Frankie Muniz yet?
00:24:37
Speaker
No, I have not. I've been waiting for you, man. I've been waiting for you to come on. I thought that was awesome, too. I was going to bring that up, but I wanted to wait for you to be on here as well, since we were talking about it on the phone and everything else. Okay.
00:24:49
Speaker
Well, go for it. Bring it up. um Yeah. um Actually, the yeah, what we're talking about is the former star of Malcolm in the Middle, Frankie Munoz. He had a great debut, in my opinion, on this weekend.
00:25:02
Speaker
Got a top 10 finish, but there was controversy behind that top 10 finish. The guy that finished actually 10th got disqualified. Frankie actually originally finished 11th in that race.
00:25:15
Speaker
But for a big, huge star like that, like we were talking on the phone, there's been a lot of major movie stars. They love racing and they do well in it. But yeah he looked he looked really good.
00:25:28
Speaker
So, I mean, it was, I watched some highlights of that actually last night on break at work. He was doing really well. I mean, for somebody first year, first time behind the wheel like that, it was freaking amazing. so Yeah, he's he's been in the racing industry. i mean, it's got to be 15 plus years, though.
00:25:49
Speaker
Oh, yeah. he was He was doing, um when I first found out about it, about him racing, he was doing a lot of that legends racing.
00:25:59
Speaker
he he's I think he does anything that has four wheels. But, I mean, when I found realized that he was, when I discovered he actually enjoyed racing when I watched him, because he was doing that while he was doing Malcolm in the Middle.
00:26:13
Speaker
Correct. I really found out about him when he won like four or five of those legend races that it's like, holy cow, this is amazing. I love your love, the show. And then to see him succeed in the, in the racing aspect of the, of it. I mean, that was awesome.
00:26:29
Speaker
And then to see him on the big stage now. That's even sweeter. Yeah, I know. He's he's trying to get the NASCAR. but that's That's his end goal is to get the NASCAR. He'll get there. He will, right? He he will.
00:26:39
Speaker
And then you have um the guy from Grey's Anatomy who races for Porsche. And then I was telling you about that, Kiana Reeves. He races for Toyota. think it's – I can't – is it like a G – I can't remember the – G86, I think is what it's called.
00:26:55
Speaker
Yeah. yeah and So there's a lot celebrities that are into racing. Well, and besides that, Keanu Reeves is a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, just to throw that out there, too. That's the other hobby that he does is jiu-jitsu. And a hell of a gunsman.
00:27:08
Speaker
Yes, very good. i mean But, yeah, Keanu Reeves, man, he's been doing – he was actually – before he got into movies, his original plan, I watched a documentary on him.
00:27:19
Speaker
i was going to text you about it yesterday. He actually originally wanted to be a professional race car driver more than he did a movie star. I could totally see that with him always on a motorcycle and things like that.
00:27:31
Speaker
It's the same thing with like Frankie. He is super big into cars. So he's always been into cars. soon as he started making money, he did real estate investments in cars. That was kind of his thing.
00:27:43
Speaker
I don't know so much about... Robert Dempsey, I think is his name, is the guy who races for Porsche, the guy from Grey's Anatomy. i yeah yeah I don't know about his his love for cars. i mean He has to love cars, but he may love racing more than he loves cars. but i mean he I think he kind of gave up acting, for the most part, to be a racer.
00:28:05
Speaker
and He only just does acting just to kind of make money. Right, it's just to keep that passion going probably more anything. But yeah, with Frankie and Kiana, I've been more behind them than the one we were just talking about from Grey's.
00:28:19
Speaker
Because they i mean you see it all the time. the But Kiana kind of kept his quiet for a while. i mean That's like his whole entire persona. Everything is quiet. Most people don't know he's in a band.
00:28:32
Speaker
Really? I didn't even know that. Yeah, it's it's not really my style of music. But, yeah, he's he's a guitarist or a bassist. I can't remember which one it Yeah, i mean, they treat him like he's a regular dude. but Yeah, I mean, it's just the thing is when I found out him, and like i said, found that documentary and finally realized that he wanted to really be a professional race car driver.
00:28:53
Speaker
And one of his goals was actually to do the Le Mans. He's always wanted to do the Le Mans, but he's never – He said he's never worked the courage up to try to find a team because of his busy acting schedule to commit fully to it. He totally could do that, too, because they allow special projects like like Porsche will come in with like an SP4 or something. what they call it, a special project, to where they're the only ones or there's like two or three in that class. They can't actually win anything, but it's it's testing is what it is.
00:29:25
Speaker
But, I mean, i got I'd love to see him actually jump in and do something like that. I mean, that would be sick to see him behind the wheel, something like that. Sure, it'd be really cool. But, I mean, I think at this point he would have to start picking up the pace to do that because he's getting up there.
00:29:39
Speaker
Right, exactly. And at a certain point, because I think you need three drivers to do a 24-hour race yes or something like that. so Yep. it it'd be it'd be pretty tough. He would have to start pushing it The thing is is he would have to go get he would have to get two professionals to go with him because he's only allowed a certain amount of seat time right as a pro. even Even if he's going to do like an SP car, he's only allowed a certain amount of time. Isn't there like certain limits on that when they do that stuff? Correct. He only might he might be six-hour seat time
00:30:12
Speaker
ah six hour seat time or or under eight, like seven like seven hours, 59 minutes. Like you're like super strict about how how it gets
F1 Safety and Rule Changes
00:30:22
Speaker
set out. And then there might be certain like pit times he has to do.
00:30:26
Speaker
Like he might have to go in for a pit for, because so so it's different with 24 hour races. It's not, you're racing to 24, you're racing just to finish the race, but it's how many laps that car can do.
00:30:39
Speaker
in 24 hours. It's not whoever's in first place. Whoever's at the beginning does not mean that they they've completed the most amount of laps in 24 hours. Exactly. Yeah, I've i've watched 24-hour Lamont.
00:30:49
Speaker
It's amazing. Oh, it's like, oh, this team's going to dominate, and they actually end up finishing. They start out leading halfway through, and I've seen them where... They've ended up damn near dead last because they they had these issues and couldn't make the laps that they needed to make. so i yeah i mean A lot of these cars have to go in you know at a certain point of the night and change brakes. It's it's crazy like the stuff they have to do on some of these cars. I'd love to see the behind the scenes of actually what they don't televise. You know what I mean? If you watch on TV, they only show the
00:31:21
Speaker
racing part but actually see the behind the scenes of what goes on like you were saying changing the brakes and doing shit like that that'd be cool it's chaos include that i could imagine it's it's got to be chaos because you your team's knowing that you have to get certain you have to get x amount of laps and most of the time it's in the eight hundred the amount of laps you need in the 20 oh it's a lot like it's a lot lot Wow. But you got to think, you know, 20 years ago when they had this, you you might be in the five or six hundreds, but these cars are way faster, way more accurate. The suspension is better. Brakes are better. Downforce is better. So these cars are just whipping through some of these tracks in under two minutes to where before it might've been two minutes, 20 seconds to two minutes, 45 seconds.
00:32:04
Speaker
more Or even longer back like when they first started it longer, it was still, still learning. Yep. So, yeah but yeah, you're right. The technology for it's come a long way for the Le Mans. I mean, yeah.
00:32:16
Speaker
So it's it's pretty cool. It's pretty cool. So F1 has changed a couple of rules for the upcoming season. and And one of them, yeah, one of them I like right here and because it's most of the time this only gets this one specific thing only gets segregated to just a few different teams because some of these teams are just so far ahead of like the other teams.
00:32:38
Speaker
And that is getting a point for the fastest lap. So I like that they're going to do away with that. it It doesn't matter how fast you do a lap, you you can't get a point for it anymore. which I like because that keeps, because you get people like Williams and the other company that starts with K and right or something like that. they They're just not there, right?
00:32:56
Speaker
Or like Haas. Haas every once a while will get like the fastest one every once awhile but most time it's McLaren, Red Bull, or Ferrari. Right. Every single time. Those are usually always, they're they're swapping back and forth basically the whole time. so Yep.
00:33:12
Speaker
That's nice. Yeah, I like that they're doing, it they're also adding two, kgs to to a car. So they're going from 798 kgs to going to add a little bit more weight to them.
00:33:24
Speaker
And here's a rule that I like because I had a problem with this as a fan. think These races are under two hours long, but these guys are they're exposed.
00:33:36
Speaker
they're They're extreme G-forces, and this whatever element it is whatever element they get. and run if There's actually video... Not too long ago, like drivers going around turns hitting the G force when it's super hot outside and passing out behind the wheel and waking up just in time. to Yeah, it's it's oh i'm really scary.
00:33:54
Speaker
Yeah. So they actually had to start changing some of the races they're doing in the Middle East to go into the wintertime because in the summertime they were racing them. They were passing out. Yeah, because the heat and everything else. So check this out. So they're adding cooling vents, not fans, but like vents to push into the car.
00:34:10
Speaker
ah For drivers on days that's too hot, vents on cars that allow for ah extra cooling to the driver. And they can do some type of suit as well to keep the drivers cool.
00:34:24
Speaker
That would be awesome. Because at the end of the they need to. Because at the end of the day, you're going to someone that's going to pass out and they're going to die. they're they're going They're going to kill themselves or they're going to kill other people.
00:34:35
Speaker
Yeah, especially with what you said. There was actually videos of them passing out and just coming to in a turn. It is wild. Especially when they most of them bunch up in a turn and everything else.
00:34:47
Speaker
Somebody passes out. There's 10, 15 cars you're going to take out, let alone yourself. in the process from passing out. It's a done deal. They're on video. It's on video. It's on YouTube. You can check that out, man. And you see if they're driving, you know, those not, and they'll jerk up real quick. It's like, Oh my gosh, going around turns, just the G forces and overheating.
00:35:08
Speaker
And the drivers are complaining about it on the radio. and they're like, man, this is too hot. Just, you know, bla bla blah, blah, blah. Hopefully, that sounds like something Geno Thermal needs to get into with those, like your cooling shirts that you can buy. So they're doing something with them. They're going to do like whole body suits.
00:35:23
Speaker
They've got to do something and they're to start piping air in to cool these drivers down. good The other one is new drivers are going to be able to get four testing days instead of two, which I think is good. Yeah, which I think is good because you don't want a new driver to have to fill in for someone with only two testing days, you want them to have as much seat time as possible. Even if they're like an F4, F3, or F2 driver, you're going to F1, which is a step up.
00:35:50
Speaker
So want them to have be able to have a little bit more seat time. yep so why can So why can't NASCAR do shit like this? you know that's F1's actually kind of, they got their well, of course, the audience of F1 titles too. I get it.
00:36:05
Speaker
But NASCAR needs to take notes from the F1 This is how you open up your horizon on it keeping your drivers safe, bringing in more fans. I mean, they need to just kind of mirror a little bit of off of f one with the way they're setting their their programs up. i mean does does that cor do any Does NASCAR do anything out of the country?
00:36:28
Speaker
Negative. That's the problem. There you go. That's your answer right there. WEC does. GT does. ARCA does. Who does?
00:36:39
Speaker
and The ARCA program. they're They're not technically NASCAR, but they do race on a lot of the NASCAR tracks. They've got a couple races. they deal I think there's one they got this year in Saudi Arabia.
00:36:51
Speaker
that's awesome why Why is NASCAR not going to Mexico? Your guess is as good as mine. Ford is huge down there. Yeah. You'd figure they'd want to go down there, but no, they won't go down there at all.
00:37:03
Speaker
Canada? Why is NASCAR not in Canada? Yep. mean, you have Canada produced the Ford GT. Right. That's where it was manufactured. It wasn't the manufacturing area because it manufactured in Canada.
00:37:15
Speaker
So that makes no sense. I don't understand why NASCAR... is It just doesn't make sense. It don't. And i'm I've been a diehard NASCAR fan. But here lately, it's just over the years, I've got away from it because it's boring.
00:37:31
Speaker
Because they're not changing nothing. There's nothing. I'll tell you what, as someone who doesn't watch NASCAR, and I always ask a fan, what makes you want to sit around and watch NASCAR?
00:37:42
Speaker
And i ah nine times out of 10, the very first response is, I want to see a wreck. So that's telling me everybody you you're telling me the coolest thing about NASCAR is watching a wreck.
00:37:55
Speaker
There's something wrong. Yeah, and that's there's something wrong. And that's nine out of ten people, man. that theyre Literally, that is their answer. Me, it was rubbing and racing, but of course, I grew up around the local dirt tracks.
00:38:09
Speaker
Those guys were bumper to bumper. they were you know They were rubbing, and they were you know pushing their way through. They weren't causing wrecks intentionally, but they were rubbing against each other to battle position, and that's what NASCAR was when I first got into it.
00:38:25
Speaker
God rest Dale Earnhardt Sr. I mean, that man's one of the reasons I got into it, him and Petty. Those guys would bang fenders all day long just to get position. And then it got to the point now, there a while ago, it was like, oh we're going to just wreck you just to pass people now. And people's like, oh, that's the only reason I watch it. I'm like, dude, that's not the reason to watch.
00:38:47
Speaker
But they've got away from the grassroots like we've talked before. They just don't want to expand. There's so many... They want the money, but they don't want to build it to get more money. They could literally, like you said, expand out to the foreign people that's out there in the racing world.
00:39:07
Speaker
Man, they would explode if they would do that. but they Sure. But the old heads don't want to come off. They've got their mindset. Generations, we're tunnel vision. This is how it works. we're gonna We're going to change a little bit bodies with the stickers on it and do this, but we're not going to change how we promote it.
00:39:24
Speaker
not open it up to different things. I mean, until they do that, I'm with you, NASCAR is going to die before, and Formula One, Le Mans racing, stuff like that, is gonna it's going to end up taking over.
00:39:37
Speaker
I mean, literally. It is now as it is, but I mean, it's going to be bigger than what NASCAR ever was because NASCAR don't want to change. Yeah, yes it's just like I told you I was going to try to watch NASCAR.
00:39:49
Speaker
Unfortunately, i wasn't able to. you're good, man. But I'll tell you what, I go out of my way to watch Formula one Oh yeah. Like, like every Sunday like I wake up, you cause these, these races are in foreign countries. So I wake up at seven, seven 30 in the morning on a Sunday and I go to a place called apex racing labs here in the Raleigh area.
00:40:10
Speaker
And I go watch those races because I'm not paying for peacock. right and it and ah But I want the environment too. I want to be around fans that are pulling for Ferrari and, um, and, um,
00:40:24
Speaker
like McLaren and and ah Red Bull. Like I want to be somewhere. We all right. We're everything. Yeah. We're your own, a community together because it's the same thing. I get it. And I mean, that's awesome. Super fun. It's super fun.
00:40:36
Speaker
They actually had a NASCAR event, but I wasn't aware of it until too late. And i was like, Oh, like I couldn't go. But if I'm going to find out if they're still going to do that, I've got to figure out if they're still going to do it because the F1 is getting ready to start.
00:40:54
Speaker
Yeah, when's the season starts for that? At the end of the month. Is it at the end of the month? it's usually It's usually two weeks after NASCAR starts the Daytona. Yeah, so it's the end of the month, and which is crazy because I got to see what it is because I want to go to VIR because they're having a ah GT Series at VIR I want to go to. and I haven't been to VIR yet. was actually at a So this morning, so i i saw i live in Raleigh and had to drive two hours to a job site this morning.
00:41:22
Speaker
And, uh, and when I pulled up, I noticed two tire marks in this person's drive when I was at a extremely a million plus dollar home. Right. And the homeowner was kind of BS and around. I said, what kind of car do you have to leave these kinds of black marks? He's like, oh, I have a race car.
00:41:36
Speaker
And i was like, oh, okay, cool. And then he popped his garage open. He had a Dodge Red Eye in there. And it was not straight up it was like it was a straight up race car. He actually has banners on his garage wall of his car going around the car. He had three of them or two of them going around ah Charlotte Motor Speedway. He had Slick sitting in there. And he's is' like, yeah, it's got almost 900 horsepower. he's like He's like, it's barely streetable as it is.
00:42:00
Speaker
And, uh, and i was like, so you go to VR and he's like yeah, go all time. And i said, cool. I'll look out for i know exactly what his car looks like. And he's like, yeah oh I'll be awesome, man. That is sweet.
00:42:11
Speaker
Yeah. i've I've pulled up to some pretty cool stuff. i had a customer open up a garage and he had a, uh, He had a lift in his garage. It was two Ferraris, one on the bottom top and one on the bottom. is nice That's what's kind of cool about my job. I go all over the place. I fed a baby deer a bottle before. so yeah but You got all kinds of cool shit to do with your job.
00:42:32
Speaker
Yeah, it's fun. so whose's who your So we're going to with the f one we're gonna give yeah I'm picking Red Bull to win the championship this year. Who's your go-to for this year?
00:42:44
Speaker
I mean, I'm i'm going with ah what with the consistent what I follow on YouTube. Well, you've got to remember, in F1, there's two championships, right? There's the driver's championship and the team. So Red Bull won the driver last year.
00:42:57
Speaker
McLaren won the team. Okay. I'm going with Red Bulls with a clean sweep this year. Oh, yeah. don't I don't see that happening. I know, but still, I mean, what we'll see.
00:43:08
Speaker
I mean, that's the thing. that Watching the Formula Racing, I've been catching back up since I talked to you last time on the show. i been looking ah I've been following the channel on YouTube catching up on that, kind of catching up, getting some more education on it.
00:43:23
Speaker
I'm starting to really dig getting into the formula racing a little more than I am the other aspects of circle track racing. So I think it's going to be a lot closer this year between Ferrari McLaren for but team championship. Really?
00:43:38
Speaker
Yeah. but Again, because it's all about getting on the poles. If, if Max does max things and he is constantly at number one for the beginning or the end of the season, he can take the drivers.
00:43:49
Speaker
Um, but McLaren won championship last year over overall points. You got Lewis Hamilton joining Ferrari, which is really cool. Shoot, I forgot about reading the article about that. That's a big addition for Ferrari this year. Yeah, it's pretty cool because think – I think – so the only team that stayed exactly the same, the same two drivers, was ah was McLaren.
00:44:14
Speaker
Every other team has done a huge driver swap. Yeah, they've changed. I was reading articles. Yeah, that's crazy. But, yeah, adding Lewis Hamilton, though, to Ferrari, that's – That's a big step for that that team, man. It is. it's it's a good It's a good one to pick. any Of course, you know yeah Hamilton's probably towards the end of his career.
00:44:31
Speaker
Right. And to finish it out in Ferrari will be really cool. I'm happy for the guy who left Ferrari. He joined Williams. I really like to see Williams pick it up. I hope to see Haas do something.
00:44:45
Speaker
a little bit better. If they can get the net consistently, I'd like to see them in that, you know, 10 to seven range. I want them to be more consistent in the F1. that's That's been their thing is they, the inconsistency with Haas has been, has not been there. It's, it's been missing.
00:45:02
Speaker
It's tough to pull for them. but But you want to as an American team. You want to pull him. It's like, oh, my gosh. But it's still, it's just like you said. It's it's like one of those, I'm going to bite my nails off. Do I really want to pull for him? Or because of the inconsistency with him, it's good it's really hard to do that.
00:45:19
Speaker
This might be their breakout year. I mean, we'll see what happens. Because they've got, like you said, they've got two new drivers and everything for themselves too. But the one he's, where did he come from?
00:45:33
Speaker
Oh, crap. I can't remember now, but I'll have to send it to you. I guess they were looking this offseason. They were actually trying to pick up an Australian driver for that team. Haas?
00:45:45
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah, was so much driver bouncing around. But you also have to remember there's there's reserve drivers as well. Right. So could have picked that person up. i got to find the I'll find the article and I'll send it to you text message. But, yeah, I guess this guy, he was – Over there in Europe and stuff, he was like one of the top tier guys out of Australia. I mean, and they were.
00:46:07
Speaker
so he was an F2 driver. Yeah. Looking to come up anyways. Yeah. and i they were talking, there was talks with him on their thing and stuff. I don't know if they ended up actually getting them in on the team somewhere or, you know, or in the developmental part of the F1 over here, but I'm going have to find that article and I'll send it to you. But I thought that was kind of cool.
00:46:28
Speaker
Yeah, especially with the Aussies getting they're getting big into the motorsports. I mean, like I said, the drag racing side that is huge over there now. But they're but they've always been road course kind of guys and stuff yeah they're like Sydney and everything else.
00:46:43
Speaker
yeah To see them get into the motorsports over there is phenomenal. I mean, it doesn't matter what it is. It's just that's good for them. So let me bring this up because I've actually left this rule off. So there's a new wing gap flex rule, right?
00:46:56
Speaker
Okay. so So I guess there was some, I guess probably most of them were guilty of this. It's kind of creating a fake DRS so they can hit a DRS button and the wings are kind of like this and you can hit a DRS and it opens up, allows for no downforce, you're just going, right?
00:47:12
Speaker
So at a certain speed, I guess F1 finally was watching some playbacks. it was like, what's going on here? the The wings, once you got going, would kind of open up a little bit. Right. With some flex and create like a fake DRS.
00:47:25
Speaker
And they're going to make them start putting the tolerance down closer so you can't create that fake DRS. oh it like And that that that's all that goes across for all cars. so you got That might make racing a little tighter now with some of what it doing that.
00:47:39
Speaker
But, I mean, that's that's cool that they're doing this stuff to make racing more, you know, in my eyes, competitive. Sure. You know what I mean? It's going to make it more competitive taking like Team Haas, for example, you know.
00:47:53
Speaker
Yes, inconsistency, but that might give them a chance one time or two or three times against teams Ferrari teams or McLaren or Team Red Bull. you know They might actually have a chance to kind of get over that hump of inconsistency. They dominate McLaren, Red Bull, and Ferrari. They dominate every once a while Aston Martin. I'm an Aston Martin fan. like to see Aston Martin up in there. That'd be neat to see them get in the mix up there with those. It's been a little while. They got some pretty good drivers, but again, they kind of float in that
00:48:26
Speaker
top, you know, seven to to four range. Right. And then Haas is kind of in that, you know, 12 to eight. Right. just But I'd like to see them more consistently 10, like seven to 10.
00:48:41
Speaker
Right. know to to To just kind of put more pressure and maybe Haas will put more funding towards it on development. Right. But but then you've got some cars in there that are funky names. I can't remember who they are. They're almost like little symbols. And I'm just like,
00:48:54
Speaker
they're They're just, to me, that's almost – They're fillers. They're just kind of training the new drivers to come up. Right. It's like, here, we're going to train you, but Ferrari's got an opening as a reserve. I'm going to go to Ferrari and jump on the reserve where I'm going to be with an elite team or Red Bull's got a couple openings, you know.
00:49:15
Speaker
for their new developmental program. We want you drivers to come in here. You look promising, but we're going to give you that extra push. But, yeah, I mean, I get it. But, yeah, that's what I've learned over since talking to you and doing some digging. I mean, that's what I like about the F1 concept, man.
00:49:31
Speaker
They're open to anything to bring the fans in. I mean, it ain't just one-dimensional with them. They're like they are huge on fan experience, too. Yeah.
00:49:42
Speaker
It is mega. they they don't They don't try to sell out a race. They sell them out no matter where they go. They're shutting cities down.
00:49:53
Speaker
Well, they got to they had that race in Miami last year. hu um One of my friends I met through the drag strip, her and her husband got VIP tickets for Team Red Bull that she won and got to actually experience from the team side at the Miami race during the F1 race.
00:50:14
Speaker
That's insane. ah She was posting videos and stuff. I was like, that has to be a badass experience to be. Yeah, she entered some, her husband entered some random Red Bull contest online on Red Bull and won VIP tickets for the whole week.
00:50:30
Speaker
It's so funny because you know you go to like a NASCAR and you might see one one or two celebrities maybe. You go to an F1 race. She said she was in it's like being in Hollywood.
00:50:42
Speaker
Correct. She was like Holy Town. It's big, big time. It's big money. It's different money. this This is worldwide money. Right. ah yeah it's It's really cool. F1 is so much fun. in my opinion, is the Kentucky Derby.
00:50:58
Speaker
100% agree. It's ah the Kentucky Derby of racing. But every single time they race this Kentucky Derby for that specific location. Oh, Because it is the creamiest of the crop top-tier driver.
00:51:11
Speaker
And it is very few get to do it. Yeah. that and I mean, people think it's big about back to NASCAR. Oh, I made it to NASCAR.
00:51:23
Speaker
No, actually, the next step is, hell, Jeff Gordon even admitted he would have loved to have been in an F1 car. But his body, his his conditioning, he's admitted he couldn't handle the G-force of what those cars. Because was doing IndyCar, right?
00:51:38
Speaker
Yes. which is ah which Which is not far off from Right, but he and he literally said the F1 guys, is he gives them major props. The downforce is yeah way stronger.
00:51:50
Speaker
ah think the Indy car is a little faster, but the downforce on the F1 car is astronomical. Right. like It is literally sucking your body sideways when you're hitting turns because you're you're only letting off the gas.
00:52:02
Speaker
and you're downshifting with your gears. You're not really hitting brakes that much. And everything's all on your steering wheel, isn't it? And it's so lightning fast. It's like, and you're going. it's It's crazy. you can They've got videos of like a a pretty high-end race car, like a GT-style car, hitting this turns, right?
00:52:21
Speaker
right and then And then a few seconds later, it shows you how an F1 does it, and it's literally a blink of an eye. And while the GT car, you can blink you know two or three times watching it, it's one blink.
00:52:33
Speaker
but It's gone. and yeah i' mean There's no brake. There's no nothing. It's just turn. Yeah, they've got to up here at Mid-Ohio, my home track, I got the schedule.
00:52:43
Speaker
They actually have an F4 race coming to Mid-Ohio in June. Oh, that would be fun. I thought about... du If things work out, I'd need to take the kids up or something to go check out up or at the Mid-Ohio to check out. You should definitely go check that out.
00:52:59
Speaker
They don't have any F1 near me. and They do some pretty decent racing at VIR, but the closest thing I probably have to F racing would be either Ohio or Florida.
00:53:12
Speaker
Right, yeah, Florida would be the closest. Actually, Florida would be because they actually have the F1 races down there. is not a joke either,
Challenges in Racing Content Access
00:53:20
Speaker
though. No, I know. But still, but yeah, when I seen that on the schedule for June, I'm like, wait until I tell Benji about this. we're we're getting That's really cool. I'll tell you another thing. I watched, I don't know, I guess it was and so was in January, I watched Formula E, and I didn't think I was going to like it.
00:53:38
Speaker
Really? but they haven't. What's that? What's that platform like? It's a formula car, but it's electric. Nuh-uh. Seriously? Yeah, they've been out for a few years.
00:53:49
Speaker
Oh, heck, I didn't even know that. Yeah, it was I watched the race in Mexico, and that huge crowd there, the track was really cool. And, they you know, I can't remember how many laps it was. It was 50-something. The race was super competitive. And, i you know, it's not as it's not quiet.
00:54:07
Speaker
There's still noises going on with these cars. but It was really fun to watch. i'll actually watched it on Roku. I think I have Roku. I don't know what got. I've got a real deal. No, Vizio. I have Vizio. Okay. So there's whatever, but however I was able to watch it for free, and I was like, oh, man, this, you know, Formula E's on.
00:54:25
Speaker
and And, again, I think they need to, again, if you're wanting to push cars on the masses, you've got to bring in some racing for us to watch, too. Right. Because, you know, we need things to help us get used to a norm.
00:54:38
Speaker
yeah. there's a whole lot of racing and i know we've talked about this for that we just don't get on tv that we should right yeah and i mean that's the thing if it it comes back down to boil it's who's got the deeper pockets and what mainly what it is is the change it's they gotta change is what it comes to it and It's back to that. They don't want to. So we're not going to get the style racing that would actually open the doors to more people if it was actually televised.
00:55:11
Speaker
That's what I miss about speed TV. I mean, you used to get everything on there. and What a great channel, man. And they freaking murdered the damn channel. and they I mean, that was the best exposure for everything racing.
00:55:26
Speaker
It went from boats to mud buggies to formula racing to, mean, you name it, it was on there. and And it didn't matter what time of the day it was. You were watching something racing or related.
00:55:38
Speaker
And I think the thing I missed most on that channel was was trail dirt bike riding where they would ride beside each other. You would actually see the drivers kind of kick each other yeah because these trails are so tight. It was like, dude, this is in your face racing right here.
00:55:56
Speaker
like I miss that. and you see You literally see and hear nothing about Those trail racing riders, nothing. don't know the last time it's been years, 10 plus years since I heard anything about them.
00:56:08
Speaker
I know it's around, but obviously those are going to be more in foresty style. Right. they It's just not here. Well, I mean, that's the thing with speed too. You got to actually watch rally racing from overseas. Right.
00:56:21
Speaker
They actually had the rally racing. That was a big. You turn the TV on at midnight. We're over in Europe. Oh, it's the the rally 500 or whatever. I mean, sitting there get to actually watch three hours of rally racing. I mean, that was badass. Sign me up.
00:56:36
Speaker
ah Yeah. What happened to Speed TV? Because Speed TV isn't even a channel anymore, is it? No. it went I don't know what exactly happened to that channel. It just like instantly went bye-bye. Yeah.
00:56:48
Speaker
Because I think, if I remember, it used to be in the 300s on DirecTV or something like that. Either that or and when it was a Time Warner Cable, it was like 133 or something like that. It just disappeared.
00:57:01
Speaker
Yeah, it's just up and gone. they One time you've seen it, and the next it's no more. because It's very odd. and i don't I don't get the concept. and now that's kind Yeah, well, that's – and that I don't get it either because that was the only channel you had and that you could get everything racing-related. I don't understand how they can get rid of ah get rid of a station that had all that racing, but they can have seven mechanic shows on several different channels. It's like, and basically what am I missing?
00:57:37
Speaker
Right. Well, that's back to when MADtv was just starting to become big. Lucas Oil basically had their hands in it.
00:57:48
Speaker
But they still opened up the door to all kinds of motorsports for the longest time on MADtv. And speed was still going on at the time. Now it's flow racing where you got to pay $150 for a subscription just to maybe catch one kick-ass race.
00:58:06
Speaker
But you're not interested in any of the other races because they're only going to do that one race. It's just dumb. they got away from They got away from us little guys that enjoyed watching everything, basically, and said, well, if you want to do this, you're going to have to either suck it up and pay the money or go without or look it up on YouTube. yeah know I'm a huge NBA fan. Yeah.
00:58:28
Speaker
And I don't – there's – NBA sucks to watch on TV. And I don't – I hate NBA anymore. It's a joke. I don't watch it. why I used to be a season ticket holder.
00:58:39
Speaker
And it was super fun to watch in person. But on TV, it's it's impossible. And it was like, oh, well, you just you can go buy the Bally app. And I was like, okay, I'll buy the Bally app. No problem.
00:58:51
Speaker
Dude, it's like $25 a month. I'm like, if you don't lost your damn mind, I'm paying $25 a month. You might as well buy season tickets again just to go. But the problem is I don't live in the area that I used to live but umm But I'm like, I'm not paying it. But supposedly DraftKings or FanDuel or whatever bought Bally out. So now it's a little bit cheaper.
00:59:13
Speaker
But I'm just like, dude, there's no fucking way. That's still too much money. yeah i'll just I'll go buy VR and go pay the $10 to watch VR game when I want to watch a specific game.
00:59:25
Speaker
Right. i mean that Because i mean that gives me the fan experience of being at the game, and I'm not paying, but only when I want to watch a game. Yeah, exactly. Well, that's like YouTube got into the whole NFL thing. You buy the NFL ticket.
00:59:38
Speaker
They want $80 a month for that ticket. Fuck me. yeah and Yeah, I'm like, dude, this is getting out of hand with, I get the streaming aspect of things, but the prices these assholes are charging, they wonder why they don't have the sales, why are they're losing the audience, it's because you're overcharging for shit that's garbage.
01:00:00
Speaker
I guess that's kind of fun for me because I don't because i watch um international racing. Right. So I can get most of my information off of YouTube.
01:00:10
Speaker
I literally watch WEC racing every single night as I'm going to sleep because most of the races are 6, 8, 10, 24 hours long. So I just go to sleep to them every night.
01:00:24
Speaker
I watch F1 on Sundays. got your car radio to go to bed to. Yeah. Man, it's it's great. you know it's it's but I can't get it on TV here, so so my TV is YouTube.
01:00:36
Speaker
I don't watch like actually cut TV on and watch something that's in the TV. Never. I don't know the last time I've done it. oh It's YouTube. Well, and that's sad that you got it for shit like that, man. We got to go to YouTube to watch what we used to be able to watch on Speed TV, let's say.
01:00:54
Speaker
Because like I said, Speed TV, they had a lot of the overseas races. Yes, it may have been 1, 2 o'clock in the morning, but still. But that's when it was live. That's when it was airing.
01:01:05
Speaker
yeah but But that's when DirecTV and Time Warner Cable were pushing their DVRs like rather crazy too. So it's like you can't really bitch or complain about it. No. Because I don't know how many times I had my DVR full stuff.
01:01:17
Speaker
You know, i when I was working second shift, I'm like, well, I'll be in bed by the time this is on. I'll catch it when I get up in the morning. yeah record You know, oh, we're going to watch the F1 race from Germany or Mans, you know, like a Le Mans style race from over at the Autobahn or something. And like, oh, I'm going to record this because it's on speed.
01:01:34
Speaker
Set the recording, get up the next day and watch it before I go to work. yeah Maybe eventually they'll bring ah a channel back like that. I mean, it's there's no shortage of content.
01:01:45
Speaker
No. Even if they wanted to do something a little different and bring like a high end big name YouTuber on and like give them a show like once a week to do.
01:01:58
Speaker
they like It would just bring in what that YouTuber could do. I got a prime candidate. I'd volunteer for the YouTube. He just raced this last weekend, man. and and Oh, good old Cletus. He'd be perfect for doing something like that. Well, there's Cletus. I would go and I would i would throw like Shmi 150 for the European audience. I would throw him in that to bring in like car reviews, test drives, things like that. Yeah.
01:02:23
Speaker
there's There's several different YouTubers in the car and racing community that that could build that channel through their channels on YouTube and be like, hey, make sure you're tuned in to this because I'm going to be on. And it brings the audience in, and they're able to sell higher-end commercials. Right. Because at the end of the day, that's what it's all about.
01:02:40
Speaker
TV has to sell commercials. Yep. And it one for and if it wasn't for commercials, there wouldn't be no TV, honestly. But, yeah, it's just – It's just crazy the way the the way the the corporations think you know with everything. If it's not a big-name thing, like you said, they're not really they don't really give a shit anymore. and it's it's word I don't know, man. Speed TV was big, though.
01:03:06
Speaker
It was big. Yeah, but the thing is... There was T-shirts and shit on Speed TV on it. This will tell you how big what I also loved about Speed TV. My local track about 45 minutes from here was Muskingum County Speedway.
01:03:21
Speaker
They actually covered four races that year, the late model series. They were here in Ohio doing live. Tell me any other channel that would actually come to your local track.
01:03:31
Speaker
And these guys weren't really big name back in the day when they were doing this, but they did live the Lucas late model series from Muskingum Hile. And it's an eighth mile dirt track that may be seeded.
01:03:44
Speaker
1800 people total. It's content. they were They were feeding us content of all sorts of racing. They were not discriminating. They're like, hey, this is what's bringing in the most or this is not supposed to be nothing. They were just like, we're going to give you 24-hour content all the time. yeah and It was worldwide continent. yeah It was such a bummer. so so you People like us, we we lose on it.
01:04:09
Speaker
We no longer have access to that content. Yeah, because like you said, you would The way you watch most your F1 or your other you know foreign racing over there, you have to go to YouTube just to be able to watch it.
01:04:22
Speaker
Speed TV, oh, guess what? There's a Formula One race in Germany going on oh time the If I can't stay and watch it, like you said, DVR that, you were able to watch it. Yeah, so WEC races and GT races, I i watch it on YouTube.
01:04:36
Speaker
And F1 races, i have to go 25 minutes down the road and watch the races, which I don't mind. Again, that that's that's really cool. Well, you're in with people that like that stuff too, so that makes it even nicer.
01:04:48
Speaker
Any other time, if I want to watch F1, I have to pay a monthly subscription to something I don't really – I'm not going to use. The only subscription I pay for – to Discovery Plus, and that's because there's one show I'm dedicated to, and it's Gold Rush. That's it. That's the only show I'm dedicated to, and I'm willing to invest in money to be entertained.
01:05:10
Speaker
but but there's But I'm also into cooking shows. My wife and I will watch them because they're fun and competitive, and I like competitiveness. But yeah, just like i can't justify... Spending the money just so you can spend one day a week to watch what you want to watch. I get it. I understand. But but also, again, it's it's kind of cool that um I don't want to spend the money on that app so I can go and hang out with the community.
01:05:35
Speaker
Because I'm not super social. I go and I work and I come home. Right. So it's kind of like that one time me and my kid can get out. We can throw a Ferrari hat on, Ferrari shirt. I got Ferrari watch. I got Ferrari freaking shoes.
01:05:48
Speaker
And I jump in my Maserati that has a Ferrari engine. And then I go to the race. Yeah, that'd be freaking awesome. the but I wish we had something around here in my town, you know, or even close around here.
01:06:01
Speaker
i mean, just anything with the racing other than having to go, you know, to the local drag strip or the local racetrack. We have like a bar setting restaurant style setting where you can get together and throw on say a drag race, NHRA race or a dirt track race or a formula race and have them all there.
01:06:20
Speaker
But no, there, no, it's like, You've got to go elsewhere to even come close to doing something like that. i mean so So there's an app that I'm on and because I'm in a i'm in a club. it's called The app is called Meetup. You should try looking on Meetup and see what kind of groups there is around you.
01:06:38
Speaker
That's how I found found the group that I'm in. And a lot of times I don't get up with them because I, I specifically try to support this local venue, but a lot of times they go to that. So about half the time they're at the venue I go to.
01:06:51
Speaker
And it's really cool to see those guys and meet up there, but I don't go there with them every time. Cause sometimes they're like 40 minutes away. And it's like, fuck dude, I'm already getting up at seven o'clock in Right. i I'm not doing this again. I'm not committing an hour, almost an hour drive while I'm being sleepy-eyed and stuff. Right. Because sometimes it's always the best of weather, too, when I'm going. So then I just hop in the Jeep and it's like, I'm good. But you should try Meetup. And I thought about if I have to move again and I don't have a like something I'm looking for, like an F1 or something, right maybe maybe I try to start an F1 watch party group. That'd cool.
01:07:29
Speaker
Yeah. I think that's most of what Meetup is is. It's an individual starting something and then trying to build the community from there. Dude, I'm in the community. There's like 70-something people in this group I'm in. Really? and yet i there was There was three or four races to where we had at least 40 people show up.
01:07:46
Speaker
Oh, that's sweet, man. Like I said, though, for around here, the only way you do that is get it with a bunch of people, meet up at the local track or whatever if you can. Or there's times you end up by yourself and then happen to run into a few people you know.
01:08:01
Speaker
But, yeah, there ain't really much much aspect of just going to place, sit down, or Or it's like trying to get people together come to your house or something kind of deal. But that's that's like pulling teeth anymore this day and time to get, you know, the old get-togethers as we call them. Yeah, they're they're tough. You kind of need an atmosphere because what I go to Apex Racing Lab. The other place they go to is something called The Goat.
01:08:24
Speaker
And there's a bars or breweries or like pizza places. Right. yeah So, so you gotta be able to kind of have like a good central spot for everyone. mean, I don't know, whatever it is, we have a good time because the places like the place I go to, they usually, if the, if the, if the race is in Italy, they'll have like a little bit of an Italian breakfast or whatever. the next will be Mexican. Yeah. So they do things. Oh Mexican drink.
01:08:49
Speaker
or, you know, just whatever it is. And then the the the races that we have here is it usually in the afternoon or whatever. So then I can drink a cold beer because most of the these are in the morning. It's like, right i'll take I'll take a lemonade or a chocolate milk. Yeah.
01:09:02
Speaker
It's like, I'm not starting out early. ah It's super fun, man. you should You should try to see what's in your area. Check out the app Meetup. Yeah, I definitely have to that.
01:09:13
Speaker
There's some... Of course, i live and and I live in the capital city of my state, so so that's it's a little bit different. There's a little less challenges. But I lived in Charlotte, too, and I never remember ever one F1 group.
01:09:28
Speaker
Ever.
Conclusion and Upcoming Episodes
01:09:29
Speaker
No, it was all NASCAR. It was all NASCAR. But I don't even remember a NASCAR watch party. Really? Yeah, and there's nothing. Nothing was out there. You would think, you know, I mean, being one of the well-renowned What they claimed, like they said, being Charlotte Speedway, you know that was one of the big races all all through the 90s besides Talladega.
01:09:51
Speaker
Well, we're going to Charlotte next, and that was always a big hype besides Daytona and shit like that. You'd figure you would have something to that aspect. that It's crazy to think there wasn't nothing like that, though, when you were living there.
01:10:06
Speaker
Yeah, and haven't been gone that long, only two years. Yeah, you'd figure that whole time, though, and they would, especially being what they call, it's per of mark pretty much in the heart of NASCAR country, you'd figure they'd have something like that.
01:10:19
Speaker
Yeah, so so The Rock is sub two hours from Charlotte. So you got two tracks that are less than two hours right from one another.
01:10:32
Speaker
Nothing. the Wow. That's insane. but some Sometimes it's hard to see the forest from the trees, right? Right. was You're always in NASCAR. You're always in. So, again, I don't know why it's called Charlotte Motor Speedway because it's not in Charlotte. Like you said, it's not in Charlotte. And all the race teams that are in Charlotte are not in Charlotte.
01:10:51
Speaker
All their garages are in Lake Norman, Winston-Salem. In Monroe'sville. is one of the There you go. Mooresville is what's called. Mooresville. And then Concord.
01:11:03
Speaker
They're all there. They're not. No, that stuff's in Charlotte. It's 40 minutes away. Right. And I'm with you on that. Back to that. i would be pissed as a community.
01:11:15
Speaker
um they're giving the name away to Charlotte when it's actually in your town. I would kind of, I honestly, I'd be salty about that. You know, what are you going what it is. yeah what are you gonna do Well, that's kind of all I had, man.
01:11:29
Speaker
All right, well, well, I appreciate you coming on. um yeah but Just let you know, next Monday I had a guest set up. It's actually going to be kind of not the motorsports side, but I got a,
01:11:40
Speaker
Female guests coming on talking about the reptile hobby and with her and her boyfriend. They live up Michigan. They keep pretty much everything you can think of reptiles, dude. You'll have to check it out if you're not busy.
01:11:51
Speaker
They keep venomous. They've got crocodilians, and they're getting ready to open their own like mini zoo in Michigan. Interesting. so So not a petting zoo? No, it's going to be li it's gonna be like a literally a mini zoo.
01:12:05
Speaker
We may get the first looks next Monday night of how the facility's coming. We'll be the first. So, yeah. So that's going to be Monday. But, yeah, after that, every Monday is going to be – this is going to be basically the motorsports hour. so Well, we're getting into the beginning of the seasons now. That's what I said at the beginning when I come on. I was like, man, race season's starting. It's just getting warmed up. We're – And I've said about you being on here because when you got a chance, man, I'd love to have you on here as the co-host. I love having you on here. Thanks.
01:12:35
Speaker
Thanks to Glick. If he's still watching for introducing us and Jeff, man, I'm i'm glad we've become close with everything and hopefully can continue being close. Sure, man. ah down I'm down to always talking motorsports.
01:12:47
Speaker
Hell yeah. I'm all, I'm all for that. So yeah, we'll have to, uh, I'll brush up on my F1 for the year and keep getting more educated and catching some races and, And I'll shoot you some stuff and information to look at and everything yeah on the other side. And yeah we'll go from there. but We'll go from there, buddy.
01:13:05
Speaker
So, yeah yeah, I'll have to i'll have to focus in a little bit more on NASCAR because those races are a little bit more in the afternoon on Sunday. Right. Yes. Works out good. what's Works out good. As long as football is not on, I don't have anything going on. can I can always kind of turn that on.
01:13:21
Speaker
yeah um yeah yeah what do you get from me i don't I don't know almost none of the drivers at all. My thing is with NASCAR right now after this weekend, I'm looking forward more to the Friday and Saturday deals.
01:13:34
Speaker
and You know what's funny? i watched saturday I watched some of the truck racing. I was going to say, I'm i'm leaning more towards like the Infinity Series, the truck series, and now I guess they're going to do more of that ARCA series after this past weekend. It's going to be more involved during the weekends now.
01:13:53
Speaker
Sundays, the main main show with NASCAR, I kind of got out of it after basically Junior got out after he left Hendricks. And that's when I think NASCAR started kind of going downhill because they didn't have big names anymore to kind of keep the people drawn in. You didn't have your Earnhardt, your Gordons.
01:14:13
Speaker
So I've been kind of watching the little guys when i if I get a chance to watch NASCAR. i've been watching the Infinity series, truck series. That's more interesting. But this year, I think that's going to be more on my line when it comes to the NASCAR side is the Infinity and the truck and the ARCA series because it's a lot of up-and-coming stars. I'd rather support them than NASCAR itself. So what is Infinity? Is Infinity Yeah.
01:14:39
Speaker
Yes, it is actually, well, it's the old Busch Series. It's now called the Infinity Series. That's who's the sponsor of it. it's you it's just It just changed the name of the sponsor is all. But yeah, original Busch Series racing. So it's NASCAR Lite.
01:14:53
Speaker
Yes, pretty much. But yeah, other than that, um that and I'll keep up to date when, like for my local dirt track racing, drag racing scene, I'll post and talk about some of that. But Well, definitely, I'm going to get educated more on Formula 1 and start following it a hell of a lot more now because you really got me interested in that more. It's it' it's so intense. the first The first corner of F1. These guys are so fast, and it's just like there can be so much chaos happening.
01:15:28
Speaker
In like the first 20 seconds of F1. And these guys are so freaking good at what they do. There's not that much chaos. i I tell you what, I don't watch F1 for wrecks.
01:15:40
Speaker
Actually, i want I don't want to see an F1 wreck. I've seen when they had the wrecks on F1. Forget that. I don't know how those guys honestly walk away from that the way they do.
01:15:52
Speaker
Be honest. It's gnarly. It is something scary. and there's There's been a lot of deaths. Let me ask you, of so so to bring like some fans into NASCAR, why don't they not try to go back to sand racing? like Do someone with some sand back on the beach again. me yeah bring it back.
01:16:14
Speaker
I... It goes back again. i mean Even if you do like the Arca series or the Infinity series, why not do something that that brings it back to the root? I mean, there's one of them. they What race? Where is it?
01:16:27
Speaker
Because I'm probably not that interested in dirt. Because if I want to to follow watch dirt, I'll just go to a dirt track and watch it, right? They actually did the NASCAR race at Eldora. They actually did it on dirt.
01:16:38
Speaker
They're like, this is the closest you're ever going to get to the beach last year. I think it would be cool if they could just shut down Daytona Beach one time, once a year, and do an ARCA or a Bush Series race.
01:16:53
Speaker
Why can't they? They shut down Miami streets for F1. Why can't they do that for NASCAR? because ah you know what Because they're shutting it down for... No, I mean, they're shutting F1 down for more than...
01:17:05
Speaker
for Those streets for more than one night? Yeah, it's the whole week when they do the race. Correct. I don't know why they couldn't pull this off. even if they Even if they kind of change the dates a little bit to so it not be as crowded, seems like they could figure something out.
01:17:21
Speaker
Well, I mean, the thing is, they got basically leading up to Daytona, they have what they call the Daytona Speed Week. There's two weeks of Daytona Speed Week. They could do it within the first week before everybody gets there.
01:17:33
Speaker
They could draw in mega crowds early. Yeah. What about doing it what about even doing like an invitation only? You have to score this amount of points and there's 10 cards. That's it. There's no 43 cards. You're top 10.
01:17:46
Speaker
Yeah, exactly. But once again, it's because old heads don't want to change with times. I tell what, it's my I got an old head, but I like new money too. um But they don't they must not like new money. That's the problem. new money I like new money. if it's been Like me and you've agreed on, if it's going to expand something to make it better, open the door. Kick it wide open and let it go.
01:18:10
Speaker
You know what's better than $1 billion?
01:18:14
Speaker
another bill i supposed pay Another billion added to it. Yeah. it' it's It's simple math, right? Yep. just Just keep adding on top of what's already there. That's it.
01:18:27
Speaker
and it just and And it's not like they they can, if they just switch a few things. but dramatically switch them. But it's not like you need to change the whole freaking series. No. Just do some things different.
01:18:41
Speaker
Man, you've got to draw the foreign crowd. At the end of the day, this is a solid American sport, but you have to draw foreign money. At the end of the day, you have to. Hey, it's called the National Football League, and it is in United States.
01:18:54
Speaker
But how many teams have foreign owners at this point now? A couple. Damn near. I think there's like four teams now. Browns is one of them. Cleveland's one of them. Miami Dolphins. Yep. And there's one other one.
01:19:05
Speaker
Yeah. It's Jacksonville. Yeah. Jacksonville. The con family. like Yeah. it's It's foreign money. Yep. It's its same same with the NBA team. There's a couple of owners that are NBA that are foreign. Yeah.
01:19:18
Speaker
It's like you have to bring in foreign money to build sport. I will give the NFL credit. They're going to London. They're going to Mexico now. yes They're actually expanding the horizon.
01:19:31
Speaker
They're playing on legit soccer fields that they're not used to playing on, but they're expanding. Because they can bring they're bringing in a new audience to the sport. But look what basketball basketball goes all over the place, all over the world. And look what baseball does.
01:19:47
Speaker
Foreign players. Foreign players. We need to get some foreign drivers in there. Try to get some F1 drivers that have come. I know there's a couple of F1 drivers that no longer have a job, and they're not even on reserve team.
01:19:59
Speaker
shove them in a NASCAR, see what they can do. yeah Like, like get some eyes to come into NASCAR, thats but you're going to have to bring in road courses. yeah I cannot, I can only watch after three left turns, the fourth one I'm out.
01:20:13
Speaker
You know what I mean? It's like, well, that's like, give me something. Give me a snake. Well, that's like what Sears point in Chicago. I mean, that's what I love about watching those races.
01:20:23
Speaker
It makes it more. It's not so much the car. It's the driver because of the road course. Yeah, it's more of the driver than it is in this. Plus, the car's got to be set up, but it's more more of a driver's game. It's not who's the fastest.
01:20:39
Speaker
It's who can get in front and stay in front on that road course. I mean, that's what it should be. Give me a road course with some banks because NASCAR loves banks. That would be sick. That would be sick of banks, man. I'm not crazy. we don't have to do anything stupid. Just get a couple of banks in it. Maybe like, you know, like a five degree or six degree. Yeah, we don't need a style banks where it's almost 90 degree up. Yeah, I don't need anything crazy. Yeah.
01:21:07
Speaker
yeah Some elevation and some twist and turn yeah because my mind, my ADHD kicks in and I can only watch so much for so long. yeah I need something i need some something to break it up.
01:21:18
Speaker
but yeah when you' Like you said, you're constantly watching them go. One, two, when you're watching NASCAR on TV, the cameras don't help matters much when you see all those turns either. As much as they jump chasing the cars, that makes it real hard to do. Yeah.
01:21:33
Speaker
I'll tell you what, another thing I wish NASCAR would tone down, and I get it, but i wish they toned down. It's like watching an infomercial the whole entire time. yeah The 73 Pennzoil, blah, blah, blah, blah.
01:21:45
Speaker
And then they'll tell you, it's like, oh my gosh, man, and all the stickers, we can read them. They're everywhere. well yeah that And the bad part is that's on that aspect, that's actually gotten even worse over the last 10 years. It used to not be nearly that bad.
01:22:00
Speaker
I mean, the last 10 years, it's been it's basically now It's giant commercial. it's yeah It's a virtual commercial is all it is. ah they got away from That's where they also got away from the racing aspect. that's why I like to see a little less stickers and a little bit more change.
01:22:18
Speaker
You know what they ought to do? They need to take the Cars 3 movie. like where Lightning Queen back the old three movie do like go light and the go queen went back to the ah oh demolition dirt track deal and learn to race on dirt again or on sand again like you brought up.
01:22:36
Speaker
They need to go back to that. I think they they don't have to change anything dramatic. They just have to do a couple of dramatic things. Yeah. And I think it'd be fun again. If they do that, especially with your going back to the beach at least once a year, mean, man, I could just see the dollar signs now rolling in.
01:22:56
Speaker
Invitational only. Do an invitational only and you have to, you meet certain criteria and it gives people, it gives the driver something to shoot for. That and then you throw out there too, you could do with fans, you know, give them an ultimate VIP experience. We're on, we're on back on the sand here. What did you get to spend a whole day with your favorite top 10 driver all day long?
01:23:21
Speaker
You know, we could also throw in that same week, some type of, uh, boat racing. Right. The beach too. but there's There's multiple things that they could do right there. Jet ski racing and boat racing. Like they used to show on speed TV. Oh, back to speed again.
