The tale of the tape the -- K down Tony relents -- 46. And onto championships and only 55 to 65. Pretty nice days because he's eight years old -- that's right he's a fossil views and the sad but I retired I was 31. What's that TK.

I retired I was 31 now. That's right but can you are I had -- par wins as well my seven championship I wanna -- I don't know hole but I'm not sure. All right that -- got the -- thing he can't responded do you have a checking car. No I don't then I -- yours and you -- there real did you have to give you different that's for sure he was the first TK also right. The chicken car when you drove that the Kurt has that -- Montana but I have to talk room with me he said. What wouldn't I so that guy right there he he used to racing he had been hit injury and he's making -- come back now he's can't be in LA with the chicken car in the -- really will get -- all right Q do all these great test draster speed TK you're also the voice of reason for Paul Tracy sometime this therapist what else -- been done rather.

Well just did not -- And out here at the hotel California have been. To a chicken Carlo but banged myself up those ahead I broke my foot while -- confused right ankle to address my injuries from the Glen so. I'm definitely -- and right now but item that just enjoy life. And how did you break your foot. If we might ask. On on a motorcycle. You guys are writers those that have gone down in those that are going down that is fitness and that's Valentino Rossi the Jazz.

As nasty. All right so you -- out of bounds -- I don't know if you watched the Texas race less I hope we did Danica had her best races a couple of years maybe mystery she's ever driven. You north wells anybody TK what you make of jumping back and forth NASCAR in this and if she's really been in a slump until you know recently like. You know point four hours ago.

Well you I'm not close enough to really make a lot of called it's an easy thing to say that it's a lack of focus but I don't I don't think that's true anyone who knows Danica knows she's pretty intense and fiery. You know it could be she just relax a little bit -- good right now. And she might just you know run and at the pace these guys run. It is time. Tiring and you might just -- I looked around to -- like -- good right now and Canadians took a breath and that's all it takes to be about three of course that's why I don't know when he last night's run was. Was obviously just what the doctor ordered. I know Tony isn't too happy with princess sparkle pony right now but I'm. Yeah that's true and you'll probably get over that.

That scenario we're thome mean as you know it's it's still it's just racing I think. -- like you said sometimes you do expect things from people it won't happen again in the I don't know I have I have five ahead of -- you know I'm a bunch of conversations before about. What do you know she's Jews having a tough season and as a driver you know sometimes you get one on those seasons I mean your starter on the wrong foot it's. It's not about what you do how many cars you drive -- You know how many times have traveled that you know the -- I want championships. I'm thinking about and then I wanna concentrate a lot of my mowing the races for the last three years so. I think it was just it's just some momentum and she darted back and now look at the -- she had yesterday so hopefully she'll keep it concentrate and she has. I think our initial wind Greece and do. This month than nine you know I don't I don't think it's messing up with her head I just think -- this bad start and we don't have those.

Ask mr. Kendall let that TK number to her and our haven't talked earlier in Danica Patrick takes a swing you. Your response would be.

Sammy -- I -- just got to go like this and I think that bet that. It's what you do it the -- instead it well. I -- last year was in March. When she was martz and how to talk to the captain last year and near the by. You're right why he fears that Briscoe -- stop her before she -- who -- before she got there I I just want her to get up to Roger and screaming his face and Adam. Patter on the hadn't senator -- ballot have been fantastic but we never got to see that and fortunately actually it brings -- question I'd like to ask Tony you've got great rivalries. In F one right now you've always got to mean cup. Why do we not have more of those really charged rivalries in IndyCar.

Well tell me I think we do when they're not very apparent and I mean -- tradition guys are expecting us to get out of the car handling and you know. Grab each other and then you know and then take each other out if you look at their race yesterday I if I wanted to make you know a lot of enemies and I mean I could get up close to Dixon to hoots movies go to Denny can make it up I think we have that little -- we're doing and a little bit more of a quiet way we get him back -- each other inside the racetrack but. In other every right now between. The guys out there I mean if you look at it it's it's been. In -- it's not as bad as people think.

But here's the interesting thing you can see your picks this year for IndyCar races. Tony -- times that pick people zero I think Tony can on Tommy Kendall keeping TK onetime Matta fifteenth. You might say where's the -- I say towards the logic Penske Ganassi went over your race your thoughts mr. cannot. You're right I mean now right now Olympic myself that at this point you know we have a good chance but. But -- defendant I know you should be digs -- that was not a nice thing that I -- they've drama where he's right here with us. TK. Tommy Kendall I can't I can't help myself -- on TK. We couldn't help but notice. Behind you appears to be. Oakland will superstar Oriole Serbia who has been on my back the last five years to get on wind tunnel. And I understand you're the slum lord and of this -- he he lives about you and you -- in the deal cause he's out of work race there right now. And you had a pretty interesting thing to say why reasons that -- season.

Well you know I. I hear on this I erasing all the time upstairs to -- yup the winnowed to about three weeks ago is that will power and he was racing at Indian -- erasing the same time but the really doing that if someone said you need a buyer I'd at least have that was all he can afford it sniffed at it.

Survey up he's the man they.

Were actually working not been trying to encourage -- around in that cup and nationwide garages because of the race at Elkhart lake. The experience deficit that's almost like it after you download you won a race winning nationwide out for Elkhart lake.

And what that guy in the car. And and that kind of touches on one of the problems which is we're gonna get too is that. You got a guy like Serbia who hasn't been an Karl your grammar -- out arrived Ryan hunter ray who knows what's gonna happen him. And Thomas Schechter I mean he's getting to drive now because he took my countless plays another get it probably belongs in the series full time. So when you see these problems and this is why you see a guy like. Randy Bernard BC guy like -- his try to say look we can get these cars in these budget then -- three million dollars for the total of the season so we can get. A bunch more teams and these guys won't have to bring money you know get hired drivers -- Your thoughts.

My thoughts yes -- mom you know it's it's and I was kind of where my question about why we don't have the rivalries -- we have all these great rivalries but nobody knows about him what good does that do us. We need to figure out how do the 'cause. Yeah it's always going to be struggled a raise money if you don't have the eyeballs and so I know those rivalries exist I know how intense these guys are. But it's like that it's like the best kept secret nobody knows it unless you get the phone calls after the race wherever Wisconsin the other guys out what's. I do but nobody else gets that and so it's they need to figure out a way -- the not so many engaging storyline you know -- any cup race and there's so many story -- There's gonna be three guys raced around each other that got into it the last ten weeks. So anyways it's easier said than done containing costs is important but ultimately compelling product on the television. Is what's gonna drive the --

Nice I see your point Tommy and I believe that day at from a driver's prospect. But you're right I mean their -- to be more outspoken. But as you know as a driver sometimes you can't say a lot of thinks because you prevent by a sponsors and team owners in. You know people that sometimes don't don't let that happen then especially now they drift and drivers like Oreo. That still looking for a job you do something like this you lose your job and you take their right so a.

You hit the nail on the head bingo and because that's what needs to -- end out of there is a way to make it so that there isn't that it's hard it's not easy because the sponsored link is so direct. But I'll I got a question for you Tony you work believe you've committed to going to get -- and then Michael flipped it back. Towards his team -- any regrets about not joining -- the.

Not at all I think is on because I'm driving for Michael but Michael gave me my first opportunity. -- won my first championship. And is not because that team was enough to the level that you know were not yet that I was just a good them you know abandoned the ship -- have a lot of respect for him. And -- I mean I don't regret things that I that I decided to do I'm very happy. Where I'm Matt yes another -- is much races as I was but that's that's a good judge that makes me wake up in the morning. And gore come and say I need to get better.

Mr. Kendall we thank you your participation in the showed I would tell mr. conservative were still try to get him a ride we -- how it's gonna happen. That it always have players -- since he's -- willpower he should be reasonable for on the track incident there thanks TK we'll see down the road for the find chicken brother. Two guys I -- since he can't thank you.
