" Are to win donated -- thanks for your time that I -- yes. Hi Dave nice failed to show again how you guys -- were we're keeping ourselves out of trouble so far want to go out into right to the big prize those top guys in the points all but locked him mark Martin's leading in wins. Which is a big help when they reset the points assuming he's in the top twelve. Right now is only a couple points to for good so who impresses you who doesn't and who's going to win the Sprint Cup."
" Well I -- this and a dozen times somebody's got to prove to me that they can beat Jimmie Johnson. If you look at the weight of 48 car his run. He always run really well on the tracks that are in the chase. And they had the experience probably he can win four in a row but I data got its going to be bring them down his neck the whole time is all smoke."
" That I gotta ask you this earlier already are we Jeremy Mayfield story got uglier and more weird this week NASCAR says mayfield again tested positive for methamphetamine. His late father's widow filed an affidavit claiming she's singing Jeremy used -- repeatedly. He again denies any Matthews claims he's been tested repeatedly the only two Jesse -- male stars and hinted that the woman who was technically his stepmother. Was paid for her testimony and had something to do whose father's death. Jerry Springer would blow all of that -- be -- her opinion."
" They've whoa what a tangled web we weave. I hat and here's here's my take. To use your phrase. You have to follow the money. In my mind and in what I'm seeing any areas I've got to ask myself why why would Jeromy if he flocked to drug test. And in in NASCAR comes to Sammy says look you flunk the test. And they have what they call road -- hears -- road map for getting back in get reinstated. He chose not to do that. In in -- only reason and only only thing that I can come up with conclusion I can come up with. He he's got to judge decide within. He say and he's -- he's passed all the other -- other than NASCAR's his career is ruined you'll never be able to grab a race car NASCAR Guillen. What would you say he would probably want he would probably want a settlement. And I believe. That he's trying to leverage all this all hiss hiss out of the story against NASCAR side of the story and maybe they won't pay him to go away. But that's only three that's only way I can make this all come together and work in my mind."
" Hey -- what when you look at it at this whole thing about Little League he's won eighteen races be seven and miserable season. I remember when -- is -- and I walked in your garage and UN almighty god Moehler earlier to talk about RPM tonight Darryl why are still race and you set out racing 'cause I make a way too much money Miller. -- do you think. That there's anything today it is he is is junior got too much money easy not hungry and have his or anything to that."
" And you don't allotted -- think athletes. For the most part there there there fragile. And in their psyche is fragile and and did that it distractions. When you get too many distractions you can't do your job. And I think I've I ask junior this. A few weeks into the season after the diabolical at the box so we headed Daytona. I see you know what I wish you would do we should put all your outside activity aside. And just gave me six weeks but nothing but focusing on drab and had 88 race car and let me see how what kind of results we get. I believe I believe his confidence is is not there. I believe that thing with Tony junior and he gets separated."
" Probably to fans probably the media. Probably always things have really really taken its toll on his ability to focus and drive the car and do the job that I think he -- do. But he's just going to. Get rid a lot of these outside activities and distractions. That the nationwide team."
" All the other things that he's into -- thinking -- all that out of the way. Let somebody else run that's out of the deal and just focus on -- and that race car and I think you might see a difference."
" They're off quickly on the Cowboys -- you -- want to become horse to death but. He keeps -- keeps women thought he keeps getting hate mail and he keeps falling in the points he's in danger of not making the top twelve is this kid. A serious championship contender at this point whose career."
" You've got to have composure and you got to be able to control your emotions you've got to be able to it to put everything else howdy man and and remember. Bet you gotta get in the top twelve. If he keeps them around he's -- going to make the chase. Once he gets in the chase he does somebody's got to get our arms around his kid. And and not when he's in the car he's a man in the car but he's young he's that he's a -- outside the morning need to work on that I think that would help him a lot."
" As -- I've been beating this drum for I don't know too long from this -- taste but. You Jimmie Johnson and Kyle Busch and and have Kasey Kahne and lowly -- and hey we do want to run the Indy 500 when I just talking we want to do it so from the speedway I'm going to try to change the date hominem I'm and a comedy these guys. If they got to run I think they did."
" You know I think they do great. I you know apparently. And I I'm never driven an IndyCar but apparently. It's a lot easier to get out of a stock car and me -- in an IndyCar and leave. Success more competitive than it is to get out and IndyCar and get into a stock car. Seemed like it it's much more difficult to go from like Dario go from. From an IndyCar just talk court and seeing them make that transition. But it does seem like people like Tony Stewart and some of those guys have been able to you know jump back and forth when she got the feel for the stock car so. They would do great and I can't imagine if I'm Tony George and my focus is on the RL. They're not gonna make that happen that would it would bring the Indy 500 back to the promise that it once had."
" Well say are well -- stopped to visit that what little he said would -- I'd like run the Indy 500 someday I think everybody would cause its historical and it's very cool. I'd like to make love to -- munch -- bunch and someday but I'd also like to stay married and I don't want Tom Brady to kick my butt. These guys are not certain -- it's one thing to talk about it it's another thing to do it but the big question barrel is. Why in the hell unless it's part of both France family gambit by the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Would they send their stars up to save the only race in America but some people still think matters more than the Daytona 500 that makes no sense timidity."
" May eighth then -- yeah. This into. Why do why does why do all of the stars of our sport go to el -- and race and get it Pittsnogle -- a -- NASCAR because they want to play like coming -- is the next right Darrel they like competition bed they'd like to race Manning and why did -- you know why don't they run in the Nationwide Series that is why they do anything that they -- if you can make all this money just Stroud and the stock car all the time why wouldn't you just do that. But everybody loves a challenge if you're competitive -- And you and you think you could get out of that they -- stock car and given that little go Kart IndyCar and be successful you -- for that to your peers not allowed to do it."
" I know you as you guys keep talking about the drivers and my kids what the answer the question is -- are going to let their guards Gutierrez and I don't think the answer is yes few you have never been better on the other showing my opinion -- hundred auto -- gone on up with a leg but it was good for us we're nutrition it to the yeah it is this -- we -- the regatta we got something -- we got to do here in the large blocks go rob but --"
