" here -- tonight so many questions so little drive somebody yeah started with a start -- traitor always a pleasure to have you back from when total. What did you think -- elevator today."
" I like it I thought it was a good race. -- read some your emails rarely bodies that he made about NASCAR screwed this sudden this but. Everybody actually use their head right up until it was time to pay. And then it turned back in the regular race but if you go to -- there there's no sense recommend lap 100 let's wait till the end when you're trying to do so it."
" Or somebody to be Brad I'm we've seen everybody get -- line at Talladega and just. Run laps but for some reason at least in body mailbox that made people crazy today. And I think it was because they connected it somehow perhaps because as Welker receiver -- on TV. -- kills drivers' meeting announcement go Barbara from the corners particularly year old new book."
" Well smaller restrictor plate we can blame manner might cure first off. NASCAR is our friend and say ours is competitor. Because they're the only ones they give us any sanity and I'll make it look like like or have we know we're doing. They tell they told the guys to not be bump draft and turns them that's fine. They still wrecked bump draft and down the straight aways that's where were they always -- it's not an indirect. Typically most time I've been in those breaks do go now I'm back straightaway fronts and tri -- whatever. If we -- gone on the back straightaway. It's a good thing they tell us that we can't bump draft to the turn and that we gotta stay in bounds no I mean."
" I didn't I didn't I don't don't what's different I mean they told you before snowball throughout the course we don't want you bump draft class right where we don't want to bump draft -- and they threaten to -- a penalty. That's not if the definition of insane is when you do the same thing over over and expecting different outcome and to me this was the same Talladega race that we've seen. For however many years I sympathize with -- his board -- to score a single file -- Melo laughs and Sweden to get a report work work matters. It's sort of solution to a."
" I don't I don't see whether solution you know -- at those tracks were. Where the cars to run 230. Well that's fine. But we can't control where they landed 203 -- So you know Ryan Newman's car if that would have been entering the tri oval and it would get turned around. It been very reminiscent of -- in whispering tested that Newton new -- you know NASCAR takes the blunt. I don't know a lot of things and it's just not their fault there. They look down over everything and then try to make it -- this sport can keep aren't don't want them even know people don't wanna think that they yeah. There aren't our sides and I noticed how he lucked out and got that fuel right there are all when yeah and everybody -- needed it but he lucked out and actually god it is word -- court -- so you know other guys. Not so much and if he if he lucked out and wins his fourth championship -- it'll be because he gained more points and everything else that was eligible and those last ten races and -- me."
" We historic first ever four straight I get it all the -- NASCAR wants that to happen that's why it's happening. I know you don't believe that I am curious where you think he ranks. It's I mean at at that point you have to look at him in New York in NASCAR history and think he's got something it's never been done."
" Looked at Lowe's team. As combination chant the whole Hendrick motor sports group everyone involved. Really right up there because he's taken nothing away from the the Pioneers of the sport but it is more competitive with more. Different teams that can win now than then -- then he used to be -- to pull off for enrolled now is really made it twenty something guys lead today I mean. It's competitive where did you first you ran Daytona. And Jimmy were asked I finished. Levinson of Daytona fast car -- very first total farm debt and -- only male only five list there okay. What are awesome I'm -- I'm sick and today in your twentieth."
" How quickly we forget NASCAR keeps cranking out these statistics people arteries is euphoric they keep cranking out those statistics or did it again this week. About how many lead changes all rusted out but the point goes that's true it is -- and not be what makes people happy but but the fact --"
" They're used to beef. Four and five cars finish on the lead lap of these races and now you don't know what's gonna -- five laps to go out he had to -- since --"
