Cup race last Lendl EGR watch race on TV 8030 fight 51888. By fifty to fight fifty. As Kyle Busch is we heard right up the top picked up the win last night his first of the season fourth straight in the spring race. At Richmond Dillard Jr. another solid run for the 88 car finishing second Tony -- third was leading canceled -- late race phantom debris caution. Finished third Denny Hamlin and Kasey Kahne rounded up the top five. -- the top ten Jimmie Johnson and six employer and seventh Mark Martin -- Breck has less heat ninety Carl Edwards round out the top ten some of their notable names in the field -- and the eleventh. Juan Montoya quietly -- solid twelfth. Twelfth place effort. Right Newman finishing in fifteenth -- -- mending your sixteenth points leader Greg Biffle finishing eighteenth less like Kevin Harvick in nineteenth. Jeff Gordon continues to struggle this season it'll run in with Greg Biffle Kurt Busch did some damage got down a couple of laps. He wound up 23 less like one lap down Martin Truex 25. Kurt Busch finished twenty Jeff Burton 31 a disappointing night the 31 car once against that some of the notable names in the field. And Greg Biffle still leads the point after -- despite his own worst finish of the season but deal junior closing up on them now only five points back. Denny Hamlin in third nine points behind the leader. And it's Matt Kenseth Martin Truex who slipped three spots to fifth Jimmie Johnson Kevin Harvick Tony Stewart Carl Edwards and Ryan Newman. Currently the top ten in points. But out. After all the we've had a lot of Green flag racing in this season in NASCAR lots of stresses a long Green flag runs and we saw a little bit last night. NASCAR tried to fix settled there with a few of those debris cautions that it -- late in the race but not a whole lot of gonna crash in the season in the cup series. I think a lot of these guys are realizing their on budgets yet director stopping affect some. So that takes the fabric haters don't like because they that's accused employed the same time the put a lot of work and effort in the -- -- Details of these cars as far as Tony Stewart talked about the phantom cautions and that. If he had better restarts. He wouldn't be complaining this morning yes he was the one who has fought on the right panel stumble there. He's the one that controlled his own car he -- on -- point 23 times yeah I was on tires and Edwards as far as restarting to press if you told -- the leader. Which he's seeing he was in NASCAR told him and you talked and has turned Huskers have -- you -- -- the leader the fourteen was. That's that's attainable to at the end of the day a good good guy named Bobby Allison human hurt him -- he said well -- -- -- about him once the man says -- wrong. The man is always right so that this to battle you're not gonna win went down because it is their sport. So right or wrong what Aaron Kyle Busch -- out came out. Tony is much like the guy this is one I have to turn out. You know different here under the caution came out but you're here and -- three time champion. And you control that car on that track you know -- like and he spun three times so. First time OK second time third time c'mon Tony. Yet he was rough on restarts Europe and aptly write and that -- him deftly spinning it's tires and all the research including that one big one. What about eighty ago that you referenced the Carl Edwards start where. Carl got the jump on Tony partially because Tony spun it's tires but he did it before that. They tried to explain a TV you know McChrystal fully understand that I love when Darrell Waltrip and tourniquet on the debt that's that's for later this segment may be drawing the bill would there exported. They're the restart box they're leading up to the Green flag. The front row can't go until they get -- restart box and AdWords despite Stewart spinning his tires launched before they got their first strike. Secondly. If -- Carl Edwards despite your spotter tells you if you're lining up on the outside of the outside of the front row shouldn't you assume you're in second. If you have not been given the preferential inside or outside right so at one point I don't care if Santa Claus comes announces a new leader if NASCAR who controls the sport. Who is running the show says. Pay -- UC inside or outside leader what you wanna do and your on the outside I would be very very hasn't but it and that's restart situation. It's a make or break but if you have a better car in a lap or two we're gonna get the truth or find out so -- you wanna get that jumped into the alleged -- -- out there all the time. I would I would I would have been safety notice stayed behind Stewart. I know what's a hit that spot he spends his -- game over but until you to that part. It wasn't Carl's first race at Richmond last. I'm not I'm not defending NASA just trying to put the hoping together. That you control your car you know what's going on if you're not given their preferred start. Well guess what you've got to play along what's going on and I would have been -- more cautious than what he did. I know a lot of people are traded from the -- -- big controversy at that as pretty now cut cut and dry no controversy and I know god forbid a recent. But it was pretty cut dries -- you launch before they got their first line he took off regardless of what Steward did -- -- -- made it look a whole lot worse than it was polite. Carlton golf finally done and then people are turning go saying all the scoring pile on him in 99 -- top in the TV graphics it doesn't matter. It was pretty obvious that Stewart was the leader at that point he was the first one off pit road the forty get the penalty they were the only two of the cars in the lead lap. They were on the front row I'd just I can't believe -- get this upset about it EE need a mistake and I to. Scoring pylon what you see on TV that is also I reads off of the timing and scoring loops -- on the tracks -- across -- just a little bit ahead atoning. Around the track under caution I was gonna it's gonna show him as the leader right so eager to -- -- wants but it's not gonna change -- and so. -- it as far as the cautions and everything I sometimes -- okay where just show the fans something that they did that for a reason. But when it's time to restart the race you guys are professionals allegedly you should be able to maintain your own -- -- -- The adolescent re cautioned that Stewart came out and TV afterwards and and was complaining about it. Dave Moody's come out it was right where -- suppose the debris was that he was on the race and -- lastly he was on -- -- -- -- there was a piece of sheet metal he sought. So but we never saw it on TV and that's what might problems. That's because Tony's Tony Stewart says doesn't mean it is right now I know like this does giving both sides of the -- -- smoke and mirrors and the capital it just made a pretty O three over like 5188. By fifty to 550. TTP you mention it would -- The fox coverage. And people I don't have a problem these long Green flag runs it seems about right I think it's the way. Fox covers the race in this this goes to -- this goes to a point I was I was thing about this this morning after I got up. The this storytelling -- goes on during the long Green flag runs really you can lose track of the race and they're busy telling all these stories. As most of deal under rules starry starry night. And secure or you don't Greece anymore I mean it's okay sales three time winner here for you know okay great but most of its site. We got it you're in the hall of fame you can stop Acadia stop campaigning we we understand. But they they they cut all the shot experts in card here encourage their digger -- here in. They keep he can't follow what the -- going on in its I I guess it goes to fox sports fox is treating these -- cores like they're covered a baseball game of football game. And if they're two totally different beast any info on baseball. Story -- it's great because it's a game more stops and starts stops and starts at it at you know. That the whistle blows they can talk. Then that the -- -- again in the stops at our baseball there's a pitch the guy hits it did then the plea stops and they can talk in and tell stories in India when Nelson -- But NASCAR motor sports at an even hockey -- at some point there's these long stretches of action where it's uninterrupted. And they need to show what's going on and explain what's going on. And that there's so much talk right now in the sport. With these long Green flag runs on Bristol and Bruce Smith -- -- track and there's not enough crashes amount of cautions. And I think the problem is is we're just not seen enough for the racing on TV any I think if you go to the track you're not. You're not having a similar opinion about this but for the folks watching on TV. They're they're mad because there's supposedly no racing going because I just don't think fox -- owner and even ESP and attitude that we're gutsy enough. And there's blatant favoritism OK there's 43 carries it started that race OK to go back and talk about you know Casey Mears in the Geico car once while that team. Is struggling that team needs a little bit love when -- talk about a you know he's running Tony fifty qualified here -- here's reset go through the field the guys to Tommy Baldwin story's great. Star in part for awhile now is a -- legitimate team now a nation my team that's a great story he doesn't have the resources. That Hendrick has or Richard Childress says -- Penske has this is what the American this is all the guys do short track precinct. Dream about to get to that level. And also bottomed -- cancer -- but but if they get an art shows it can be done so here's here's Baldwin. And Daytona 500 crew chief when you -- He -- start my own team while you're -- mortgage is how's all that stuff prince's house he struggled now he's made it that's a story right there that he can. That's a good story and people are new teams that are coming -- they need just as much of the any more love. Then the villagers to -- -- -- Carl Roberts are all -- they're good they're funded -- are to what Jack Roush says he's not gonna go broke. With Carl Edwards in the field. If you yesterday and that is the voice of Tim pac mania is the president the stock her operation that the entire raceway park but also. Tim spent a lot of time down south working in the mastering so he's giving us his insider perspective here this morning we're gonna talk more about on -- raceway park later in the show. And your comments and questions are welcome at 8030 fight 51888. By fifty to fight fifty. Sits at that point the exact opposite that can be done to where you -- like ESPN in the nationwide races that they're paying attention to Danica and Travis Pastrana when they're running to lips down. Itself. Again they they get the story lines that they want a talent and a lot of time this has nothing to the action going on on the track and exits there. Particularly in the trying to really in the trying to -- the China real in the X -- crowd up with Travis I understand I get there. And -- -- Danica. They're trying to ruin the you know the indie crowd and the female crowd which I get that to be some point which she finishes -- first. I don't care yeah Kate Travis OK first race I -- after that but then he becomes at some point become another racer. And there's so many kids out there are guys in the Nationwide Series they're great stories to tell the people never talk about him because. Part of me thinks that the broadcasters are lazy to go around the other underground and talk to these people. Is you and I both known working -- the search -- we went from we go from one end to the other everybody everybody gets and I don't what's going on and everyone gets equal attention. Now if you win you get more of course are frightened him more but you have to tell the entire story we have 43 teams have paid the same amount of money to get in that race. Let's go to the phones bring in Don from buffalo Don you're on WG -- faster -- morning. In that -- and got him buffalo. Don Don you're on the air -- -- -- -- doing that they go about how good Michael Waltrip racing and team is doing this here. India bigots. Bad because the -- better drivers they never do you think. Equipment limit is just finally cut them up with -- everybody else other hang -- the murder of what you guys. Well right Don thinks the -- And WR talked about them homes every week on the show every every week there either put all their cars in the top ten in qualifying and he'll mark Martin's qualifying -- pole they're having a phenomenal season. I know they they brought in in the -- -- simpler this year they brought in that Scott Miller I think it was on they brought in some new people in. You know it just things are clicking for the team as you worked like a little bit. When he four years a DI when he started out. He is that team struggled and neighbors like he made the 500 and it was like emotional and then they get dean that penalty and they started out really bad yeah so in comes. Bob Kauffman. Bob -- a lot of money a lot of financial and parts he takes care of things are things that Michael set I had no idea. All the little costs like 200000 dollars in radio expenses a year for all the teams and everything requires all itself so now. Just think that adds up -- comes Bob Kauffman. He brings in the financial assets that they need to get better they got Ty Norris former GM ID act now -- Scott Miller formerly of -- CR. They bring in Martin Truex which I find funny because we were to DI together -- repeat some things. Martin said about. Michael now -- -- comport with the same point Clint -- called Michael -- of the worst driver ever NASCAR now they both work form easy to be careful what you say to people is it might end up being co worker. And now the team is showing the results it's Toyota it's -- it's everyone that they're getting better and they're getting better collectively. You know the money they're coming in with a sponsorship. It's all open in their favor. In the -- they got the spot they got five hour energy to snub their deal from the entire season -- 125 to 35 races we mention that last week. Obviously Nampa at the big big big part of this Borden in those -- theory commercial break in here and obviously two and I guess Mike kind of helps its own cause being asked by all they'll. Brilliant and so so but still the hot but the most important thing -- the on -- performance is there and an off all three these guys and even when Vickers a stepping into the 55 part two it's just. They've just been. Literally hitting on all cylinders on the race recruitment -- results and hopefully they'll. Especially -- acting wanna I wanna see him get back to victory but. He finished last year really strong and that he was one my cheeks picks for this year a whole -- to victory -- Sunnis he's someone like to see get back there. I don't cinemanow the other day and I says it's good to see -- is the two championship he's a two time. Nation -- understand that you can't forget that so you just don't lose their talent. It's it's good to see you back on our front everything scan somebody else it's good to know I can still do it I knew I could but now equipment and things coming together so. That's a good thing it's different that him and the team and and and Apatow. And Mark Martin does just these over fifty years old and he's I think that's America. Or Alter product for six years Eid Al. People have old number six I urged her to retirement and welfare roll through this 2007 I love -- -- I think though he has his Twitter account hacked by the -- epics -- its hacker handle. Mark has turned this into like a marketing thing he's got teacher now that they epics like I love mark is embraced Twitter actually use it too much -- on solemn and knowing. I I markets such a cool personality and it's great to see canceled due at this age so dislike if the people sport. Or up against the break at impact and again this year from -- terrorists -- park against him as were -- -- common DEI and other organizations that work. Enjoying his insider's perspective as well we'll get to some local -- talking to get back. And get race in that you have questions or comments. Wanna bring in the Tim in the program you can at 8030 fight 151888. Fight 52550. Miles text the show. If -- 55 if you will read the good ones on the year excellence and will be back for more on fast track here on WGR. 1127. Here on WGR Sports Radio 550 Dave Buchanan with WG -- fast track and special in studio guest and Pacman from Dunn tire raceway park. There's a race going on right now the IndyCar Series about to go Green from Brazil. On the home country of many of the drivers in the series now. Will Power on the pole for this one Dario frank TD who -- -- disappointing start his season on the -- finish better than twelfth in the three -- -- so for this year. They -- on the front row Scott Dixon in jeans and -- -- wrote to. Ryan hunter ray Graham -- on growth three Mike Connelly and -- new guard in the rookie first here -- motorsports in four and Ryan Briscoe -- -- -- Round out the top ten starters today at Brazil Will Power as the series points lead with two wins he's up 24 point lead over -- castroneves. And rookie cited national for Sam Schmidt IDD Hamilton -- were great start his year three finishes in the top sixty is third in points. And I talked about -- -- Frankie throws he's way back in thirteenth. So like he needs to step it up with you want to win the championship. But at some great young talent in the -- -- is also teams and let Tiki offered in this -- fifth in points. The more -- see in the more like. Watch him race and also has personally -- -- funny guy felt follow on Twitter to et hinged around agree driver -- Ronald. Off for injury auto sport but we are here and we're gonna talk a NASCAR in the first segment if you have your thoughts on last night's race feel freed up. Bring the show at 8030 fight 51888. By fifty to fight fifty but the real reason why we have team here in studio today is talk about. His newest endeavor in his career being the president a stock car operation that and Terry's -- park and dislike -- and you grew up at that racetrack and it's got to feel pretty cool to be in charge of it now stick it to us to some extent. It. I think quite didn't see this coming but -- there was something that you think about and you know I've started their first job ever was their country. House by sixteen your result in you paycheck was 68 dollars and twelve -- -- -- -- so they -- the -- exactly. And then you go back in your income announcer researcher under your life and so you start working there and then nine left and came back and then. As circumstance and opportunities in -- come up in -- -- the twelve years. Down south and ask currently I've done more than I thought it would met people never thought I would -- friends and accomplish things and ever thought it would but -- Back last year I was at the track a couple times and I sense something was different something was policy wrong. But something wasn't being done the way it should have been. It wasn't fun and there was a reason. For that sole -- talking Ralph -- losing CEO. We went back and forth for couple weeks -- came up with talks in some more and then the US open we can I said okay let's do it. Something just told me let's let's do it you know and I and so we started in. In September started right then and now we've made a lot of changes. Two how the races are run to the restarts and we don't turn four again restart the -- is in turn four yeah the besides we're gonna have a lot of up side by side. For all restarts. Shoot out style justice that they should be if you start three times side by side McCain to start 45 times and it's the single file. Doesn't benefit but we still have the option. If he gets out of hand -- to single file as if it's I understood it takes a six times a lap one agenda and -- know how we and I won't -- that's. But see the fans pay to currencies the race right and that they're coming to be entertained. And a third if this is an entertaining thing and if racing -- the map -- tomorrow on life would have to go on. You know I mean so you have to realize it -- -- -- options and entertainment so we've we've done that on the track I'm the one of the biggest things we've done I'm I'm very proud of just being a source of the track is. The new mean mobility. The senate handicapped we went and that was something that the plans around for a few years it was inspired our report a former racers street Starker. Got a mass here and -- to -- -- but so we still comes out to the track in turn is back on a sport stoking that. So when I saw him sitting -- in the ground level there 'cause he can get into the stands -- have never again. So Jim Lang said hey let's start so he put on FaceBook and -- New York dot com -- the -- people jumped in. We have one guy sent in 500 dollars we had but he was sending in money the cement. And we are materials donated -- guys lumbered to its discount on that other guys jumped in with the hardware. And people came in the mean mobility says you know what I'll borrow what you need. Let's finish not Tom -- they're great guy so I need to be needed to be -- artist he. As of right now the only thing that needs to be left on the put the -- together is the back railing. For people that come with people in wheelchairs and scooters. And such that they can't certainly grants as an ambulance that went on. That thing was so statistics it's just it's just amazing I mean it doesn't amaze -- but. And that's that the people of racing Rabbani of buffalo about and it's -- we cut the ribbon on that rich warns me the first guy up there. And come on and he's nervous he's going to be and he came out a few weeks ago he got very emotional we all -- and -- obviously this was so worth and so many ways. And it's just opens up a whole new door for a whole bunch people now are sitting in the grandstand. -- it's I seen the pictures on the were on the speedway FaceBook page and online little bit and yet -- feeling is it done so much gifted to get this put together yet -- -- -- -- -- out there every day -- just put it the other that this is one of the things they -- you try to do is. Because I tell people that I announce -- and that's one of the things they -- is like -- place looks like it's not a business it looks the night the ominous turn defend my employers -- bracelets -- rundown. Us in and it's been there's been some black and I've I've addressed that. And this week. Guys and -- guys and up their cleaning up. Power washing things are getting rid of progress that was coming through the some of the asphalt and other places so the efforts being made. And we're trying to put together spruce up the speed great people came to me it's okay we wanna help make the trek -- -- OK let's do it. So want to Ralph and his -- on -- -- probably -- -- still let's just do it let's put it out there are so awesome people jumped on -- they're getting on yellow -- Red paint white paint. Whatever they can do that to help out and weather has kind of stopped us and -- trying to break in the weather might -- you weeknight to weakness we're gonna get done more -- Welcome the concession stands are bored everybody -- people wanna see it put butter. So the grass is being cut things are being gone sort of that's the physical part of it right on the track we've up the purse for the streets arts. Up the first person force owners. Modified or have them three times -- -- start -- late models and one of the biggest biggest things that I've always said. Try to eliminate the reasons people don't come to -- -- -- with a paid adult ninth and for the special shows. It's only five dollars for me to fifteen years old seven under free all the time so. That eliminates that scenario at the kids coming out to come on to the races -- now they get into it. They're gonna take their parents or the parents can now say how much was for the kids or the kids are free fifteen and under. And it's you know if there's two adults with four kids fifteen under bring them. But you can't you have to have a paid adult American parents for their kids to babysit -- baby sitting out there because you do parents put in the work properly on a -- McCain don't think I want to south and that's the. You don't like -- that I got involved in this art it's like that are directly out there when they work there and I. Wound -- working there and my Brothers on an extraordinary things. NC -- out yet but that's it so you have families have been there. I've been gone for twelve years I still see some Hussein faces I see some new faces but this -- we're trying to do. The object is to get people this is that's that's slow going came back to get back to your trip. It is your -- of people -- the racers it's their track. They pay to get and they paid a race OK so it's their -- they have a say in what goes on by eliminating some of the things that we know against that that how much -- cost. And things like that that the conditions aren't good so we're trying to we're repairing stairs was some left over lumber we have. Little by little step by step you just have to show the PW trying and will be understanding of -- and so far it's been a while and the negativity factor that permeates racing in general and specialists are tracked. That's kind of simmered down me was the law before the storm I don't know you would like Toledo and I just I just want people and all the -- start and have fun and so we've got a special shows coming in. You know summer slam 100 of the ROC race in June on we have the timing Tony race you know that we change at 210 laps this year. To the numbers are 37 and 73 a former drivers and their -- who lives in a different racing accidents and we have a 370 -- 370 dollar bonus whoever's leading lap 37 -- on lap 73. 730 dollar bonus while so if you wanna -- those two laps that's 11100 hours taken on that night. And that was put out by or start our ambassador mr. how America. So he said I'll do some different this year so okay what. And he said them and that's beautiful but still so. It's just things are doing to have -- had -- the big wheels of the kids can corroboration big wheels and remove that intermission this year so kids can see that even if we have extra big wheels. You know what hey kids and you know the first drivers for the eight year old honor just to go racing now there on the racetrack it. And it's impact in the present a stock corporation's effort entire raceway park joining us your -- each year's fast tracked. -- you talk about seeing the familiar faces in the the families -- -- on the air for you can say almost generations now. -- you go about attracting the new -- and whether it's. The fan that sits on their couch and watch the cup race on -- that's never been a short trek or. Just.
