1
00:00:07,387 --> 00:00:12,267
[drums music playing]
2
00:00:13,810 --> 00:00:16,938
[tense music playing]
3
00:00:17,022 --> 00:00:19,482
You only get so many shots.
4
00:00:19,566 --> 00:00:21,651
We only get so many shots.
5
00:00:21,735 --> 00:00:24,946
We will race respectful,
but we will race hard.
6
00:00:25,030 --> 00:00:26,656
Yep.
7
00:00:26,740 --> 00:00:28,867
We'll just give you a hug, hon.
8
00:00:28,950 --> 00:00:30,368
I love you.
9
00:00:30,452 --> 00:00:32,871
Go get 'em.
Do what you know how to do.
10
00:00:32,954 --> 00:00:35,915
It's a great place.
It's where it all started.
11
00:00:35,999 --> 00:00:40,045
I'm proud of you guys,
getting yourself in this position.
12
00:00:40,128 --> 00:00:42,589
Y'all have a lot to be proud of
this season.
13
00:00:42,672 --> 00:00:46,426
-It'll be a good day. I'm excited.
-It's gonna be a good day.
14
00:00:46,509 --> 00:00:49,888
[whirring]
15
00:00:49,971 --> 00:00:52,807
-I love you. Good luck.
-Thanks.
16
00:00:52,891 --> 00:00:54,517
Be safe. I'm proud of you.
17
00:00:54,601 --> 00:00:57,103
And remember,
be Ryan Fuckin' Blaney.
18
00:00:57,187 --> 00:00:59,689
-[girl] I hope you win.
-Me too.
19
00:00:59,773 --> 00:01:03,401
[announcer] A gorgeous Fall day
in Martinsville, Virginia,
20
00:01:03,485 --> 00:01:05,195
and the fans have showed up.
21
00:01:05,278 --> 00:01:09,199
Sold-out crowd here to see this,
the elimination race.
22
00:01:09,282 --> 00:01:14,454
Only four drivers after today's race
will have a shot at the championship.
23
00:01:14,537 --> 00:01:18,792
It all comes down to 500 laps
here at Martinsville.
24
00:01:18,875 --> 00:01:21,836
[man and female announcers]
Drivers, start your engines!
25
00:01:23,213 --> 00:01:24,964
-[man 1] You all set?
-[man 2] Yes, sir.
26
00:01:25,048 --> 00:01:28,802
[man 3] Everybody have a good day.
Finish her off. I know we can do it.
27
00:01:28,885 --> 00:01:31,012
[announcer] We are under the green flag.
28
00:01:40,730 --> 00:01:44,609
[Denny] It's hard to describe
how hard it is to drive a race car.
29
00:01:45,401 --> 00:01:49,572
I might birdie a hole that
Jordan Spieth doesn't birdie
30
00:01:49,656 --> 00:01:52,826
or make a three-point shot
Michael Jordan doesn't make.
31
00:01:52,909 --> 00:01:56,329
But there's no other athlete
in any other sport
32
00:01:56,412 --> 00:02:00,375
that would ever run a lap
faster than I can run a lap.
33
00:02:00,458 --> 00:02:01,960
It's impossible.
34
00:02:03,002 --> 00:02:06,631
[man] When you put a helmet on,
it's like Superman putting on his cape.
35
00:02:06,714 --> 00:02:08,591
It's like an alter ego.
36
00:02:08,675 --> 00:02:13,179
[man 1] Driving a vehicle to its limit,
overstepping that limit...
37
00:02:14,347 --> 00:02:17,517
In that moment,
nothing else in the world matters.
38
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,980
[man 2] That excitement, that hunger
gets more intense as you go.
39
00:02:22,063 --> 00:02:23,439
[man 3] It's addictive.
40
00:02:23,523 --> 00:02:26,943
[man 4] You cross that finish line,
the checkered flag's waving.
41
00:02:27,026 --> 00:02:29,529
[man 5] When I see the driver get out
and have this genuine,
42
00:02:29,612 --> 00:02:32,031
uncontrolled emotion...
43
00:02:32,115 --> 00:02:35,910
as a fan watching,
that's the moment I'm there for.
44
00:02:36,953 --> 00:02:38,830
-[man 6] Let's go to work.
-[Bubba] Yes, sir.
45
00:02:38,913 --> 00:02:40,582
[man 7] Playoffs in NASCAR...
46
00:02:40,665 --> 00:02:42,584
[man 8] Everybody get
your shit together now.
47
00:02:42,667 --> 00:02:43,585
[man 7] Ten races...
48
00:02:43,668 --> 00:02:45,170
[man 9] All right, go kick some ass.
49
00:02:45,253 --> 00:02:46,337
[man 10] Sixteen drivers...
50
00:02:46,421 --> 00:02:49,215
[man 9] You want some, get some,
bad enough, take some, let's go.
51
00:02:49,299 --> 00:02:50,717
[man 7] Best man wins.
52
00:02:52,927 --> 00:02:55,763
How do you advance?
By kicking ass.
53
00:02:55,847 --> 00:02:58,850
[man 11] Right, Push it, push it, push it.
Checkered flag, hell yeah!
54
00:02:59,934 --> 00:03:03,062
[man 7] When you go into the playoffs,
you know the intensity's higher.
55
00:03:03,146 --> 00:03:04,898
This is your whole season,
your year.
56
00:03:04,981 --> 00:03:06,649
-Yeah!
-[man 12] Oh, my God!
57
00:03:06,733 --> 00:03:08,151
Playoffs, baby, let's go!
58
00:03:08,234 --> 00:03:09,861
I love you guys so much.
59
00:03:09,944 --> 00:03:13,031
[man 13] These guys are rock stars.
They're studs.
60
00:03:13,114 --> 00:03:14,115
They're badasses.
61
00:03:14,199 --> 00:03:17,827
-This is gonna be on Skinemax.
-Look at him sprawled out.
62
00:03:17,911 --> 00:03:19,579
[man 14] Put some clothes on.
63
00:03:23,333 --> 00:03:24,500
Oh, yes.
64
00:03:25,877 --> 00:03:27,003
Ready to turn.
65
00:03:28,171 --> 00:03:31,090
I don't even know what to say,
my damn cat's on the island.
66
00:03:33,927 --> 00:03:35,970
[man 15] If you're a race car driver,
67
00:03:36,054 --> 00:03:38,139
you have to be
absolutely crazy as hell.
68
00:03:38,223 --> 00:03:40,475
They're lunatics, all of them.
69
00:03:40,558 --> 00:03:43,353
[man 16] There is a tremendous
amount of danger involved.
70
00:03:43,436 --> 00:03:45,521
[announcer] Bangs in the wall hard.
71
00:03:45,605 --> 00:03:48,066
[man 16] This is a sport
which people have been killed.
72
00:03:48,149 --> 00:03:49,567
[announcer] Oh, my God.
73
00:03:49,651 --> 00:03:50,818
[man 17] Damn, what a wreck.
74
00:03:50,902 --> 00:03:54,739
I want you to think if I'm near you,
I'm gonna put my foot on your throat.
75
00:03:54,822 --> 00:03:56,366
I beat your favorite driver.
76
00:03:56,449 --> 00:03:58,576
They hate him. I love him.
77
00:03:58,660 --> 00:04:01,162
[man 18] I make
other drivers uncomfortable.
78
00:04:01,246 --> 00:04:02,413
Stop. Stop!
79
00:04:03,623 --> 00:04:06,334
[man 19] Every one of these guys
grew up dreaming
80
00:04:06,417 --> 00:04:08,920
of holding that Championship trophy.
81
00:04:09,003 --> 00:04:13,049
The more real it gets,
it is immense pressure.
82
00:04:13,132 --> 00:04:14,634
[man 20] Go do this. It's your night.
83
00:04:14,717 --> 00:04:16,886
[man 21] Make sure we're there at the end.
84
00:04:26,145 --> 00:04:27,939
[radio announcer]
Welcome to the Morning Drive.
85
00:04:28,022 --> 00:04:29,274
It is the last week of August.
86
00:04:29,357 --> 00:04:31,818
This is the last week
of NASCAR's regular season.
87
00:04:31,901 --> 00:04:34,404
The final regular season race
coming up Saturday
88
00:04:34,487 --> 00:04:37,824
at Daytona International Speedway,
the birthplace of the sport.
89
00:04:37,907 --> 00:04:40,076
Then it will be on
to ten weeks of playoffs
90
00:04:40,159 --> 00:04:42,412
where the biggest question will be
91
00:04:42,495 --> 00:04:46,207
could this finally be Denny Hamlin's year
to win a championship,
92
00:04:46,291 --> 00:04:48,960
one prize that's eluded him in his career?
93
00:04:49,043 --> 00:04:50,336
[Denny] Molly?
94
00:04:52,380 --> 00:04:53,464
Are you up?
95
00:04:55,133 --> 00:04:56,634
Gotta get ready for school.
96
00:05:00,138 --> 00:05:02,140
You're too big for this.
97
00:05:05,143 --> 00:05:07,312
You gonna get dressed yourself?
98
00:05:07,395 --> 00:05:09,188
I know it takes you a minute.
99
00:05:16,904 --> 00:05:22,493
[Denny] It's really difficult to play
the balance of personal life and career.
100
00:05:22,577 --> 00:05:25,663
I'm a structured person.
I'm a very scheduled person.
101
00:05:25,747 --> 00:05:27,123
When you come downstairs,
102
00:05:27,206 --> 00:05:29,334
I expect you to have
the three things done.
103
00:05:29,417 --> 00:05:32,211
Brush your hair, teeth,
and dressed for school.
104
00:05:32,295 --> 00:05:34,630
{\an8}[Jordan] Can you sit right here?
Where do you wanna sit?
105
00:05:34,714 --> 00:05:36,299
{\an8}[Molly groaning]
106
00:05:36,382 --> 00:05:37,884
[Denny] Oh, boy. Look at that.
107
00:05:39,552 --> 00:05:41,554
Well-done pancake, anyone?
108
00:05:41,637 --> 00:05:43,306
[whirring]
109
00:05:44,098 --> 00:05:49,979
Beautiful sound in the morning
of a blender grinding frozen fruits...
110
00:05:50,063 --> 00:05:52,565
-[dog barking]
-...a dog barking.
111
00:05:52,648 --> 00:05:54,525
And no one listening to orders.
112
00:05:56,361 --> 00:05:57,945
[Jordan] Y'all gotta get moving.
113
00:05:59,530 --> 00:06:00,782
[Taylor] Milo!
114
00:06:00,865 --> 00:06:02,075
[Denny] Down.
115
00:06:02,158 --> 00:06:04,494
Let's go for a ride.
Wanna go for a ride?
116
00:06:04,577 --> 00:06:05,745
-[Jordan] No.
-[Denny] Yeah.
117
00:06:05,828 --> 00:06:08,289
-[Jordan] That is a bad idea.
-[Denny] It's a great idea.
118
00:06:08,373 --> 00:06:10,750
Ready, bud?
Ready to go.
119
00:06:10,833 --> 00:06:12,001
He's ready.
120
00:06:12,085 --> 00:06:13,544
Sorry, pulling over.
121
00:06:14,712 --> 00:06:16,506
All right, Molly, you're up.
122
00:06:16,589 --> 00:06:19,967
-[Taylor] No, she's not driving.
-[Denny] Yes, I always let her drive.
123
00:06:20,051 --> 00:06:21,594
[Molly] Excuse me.
124
00:06:21,677 --> 00:06:22,720
Get ready to turn.
125
00:06:23,763 --> 00:06:26,891
[Denny] You're good, I'm not helping.
No hands, no hands.
126
00:06:26,974 --> 00:06:28,893
[Taylor] Okay, I'm getting out right here.
127
00:06:28,976 --> 00:06:31,521
-[Denny] All right, peace.
-[Molly] Peace out.
128
00:06:33,523 --> 00:06:37,485
[Denny] I would describe my racing career
as overachieving.
129
00:06:37,568 --> 00:06:40,446
I think that
it comes from the work ethic
130
00:06:40,530 --> 00:06:42,949
that my dad instilled in myself.
131
00:06:43,032 --> 00:06:46,035
When I think about
how I try to instill work ethic
132
00:06:46,119 --> 00:06:48,496
with my kids,
I want them to be successful,
133
00:06:48,579 --> 00:06:50,164
but I want 'em to be successful
134
00:06:50,248 --> 00:06:52,375
because of what they
created for themselves.
135
00:06:52,458 --> 00:06:55,294
No one's gonna give you anything.
No one gave me anything.
136
00:06:55,378 --> 00:06:59,048
I grew up with no means.
I worked my way here.
137
00:06:59,132 --> 00:07:02,635
I have a big jet,
a big house, nice shit.
138
00:07:02,718 --> 00:07:04,011
I fuckin' earned it.
139
00:07:04,095 --> 00:07:07,682
And still at age 42,
I feel I'm at the top of my game.
140
00:07:07,765 --> 00:07:10,226
[man commentator 2]
Denny Hamlin is the all-time
141
00:07:10,309 --> 00:07:13,187
winningest driver at
the Pocono Raceway.
142
00:07:13,271 --> 00:07:15,106
[crowd booing]
143
00:07:18,401 --> 00:07:22,238
{\an8}[commentator] The boos cascading down
from the Pocono race fans today.
144
00:07:22,321 --> 00:07:24,574
Denny Hamlin got his first win here.
145
00:07:24,657 --> 00:07:27,952
Win number 50 in his career here
on a monumental day.
146
00:07:28,035 --> 00:07:30,955
What does it mean to do it
with all the boos from the fans
147
00:07:31,038 --> 00:07:33,291
-at one of your favorite places?
-I love it.
148
00:07:33,374 --> 00:07:37,503
[Denny] I don't think that I show
that much humility on the outside.
149
00:07:37,587 --> 00:07:39,922
I recognize it on the inside,
150
00:07:40,006 --> 00:07:45,136
but I think people see me
as very cocky and brash.
151
00:07:45,219 --> 00:07:48,181
That's fine... That's my persona.
152
00:07:48,264 --> 00:07:50,516
I don't want my
competition thinking that,
153
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,145
"Oh, what a gee shucks nice guy."
Fuck that.
154
00:07:54,228 --> 00:07:57,440
I think the boos might be
from the contact with the 1.
155
00:07:57,523 --> 00:07:59,317
So was that straight payback?
156
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,194
What did you want me to do?
157
00:08:01,277 --> 00:08:04,322
{\an8}Every sport that has success...
is successful
158
00:08:04,405 --> 00:08:07,492
{\an8}because of unique
personalities on the field.
159
00:08:07,575 --> 00:08:10,536
What are you doing?
Seriously! You did the...
160
00:08:10,620 --> 00:08:14,123
[Dale] People that you love to hate,
people that you love to love,
161
00:08:14,207 --> 00:08:16,626
people that you relate to,
that good and bad.
162
00:08:16,709 --> 00:08:19,003
The villain and the hero.
163
00:08:19,086 --> 00:08:21,506
All the buddies know
Denny's always right.
164
00:08:21,589 --> 00:08:23,716
I'm sure he was
in the right there as well.
165
00:08:23,799 --> 00:08:26,511
[Dale] He does it his way
and doesn't care what anybody thinks.
166
00:08:26,594 --> 00:08:28,638
And for our sport to have success,
167
00:08:28,721 --> 00:08:31,015
it has to have people
like Denny Hamlin.
168
00:08:31,098 --> 00:08:34,519
[commentator] Denny Hamlin's got
the advantage. He comes to the line.
169
00:08:34,602 --> 00:08:35,895
[crew member 3]
Awesome job.
170
00:08:35,978 --> 00:08:38,022
[commentator] He sweeps at Pocono.
171
00:08:38,105 --> 00:08:40,066
[commentator 4]
Holy cow, baby. You are the best.
172
00:08:40,149 --> 00:08:41,108
[Denny] Love you, guys.
173
00:08:41,192 --> 00:08:44,862
{\an8}What he has done in his career
is absolutely incredible.
174
00:08:44,946 --> 00:08:47,156
[Denny] We got it. Yes!
175
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,826
[Shannon] He has won the Daytona 500
three times.
176
00:08:51,744 --> 00:08:55,081
Denny racing like he did
right there is just unbelievable.
177
00:08:55,164 --> 00:08:58,376
{\an8}He has 50 wins in NASCAR.
178
00:08:58,459 --> 00:08:59,877
Fifty.
179
00:08:59,961 --> 00:09:02,171
[Dale] Fifty wins is a lot.
180
00:09:02,255 --> 00:09:04,632
That to me is an elite category.
181
00:09:04,715 --> 00:09:09,428
But there's one thing missing,
a NASCAR Cup Series Championship.
182
00:09:11,055 --> 00:09:13,724
[Denny] Here we wanted to create
Victory Lanes,
183
00:09:13,808 --> 00:09:15,810
so I put a bowling alley in.
184
00:09:15,893 --> 00:09:19,355
I wanted to put together
a collage of pictures
185
00:09:19,438 --> 00:09:22,483
that were meaningful to me
in some sort of way.
186
00:09:22,567 --> 00:09:24,944
[Dale] He had so many great years
187
00:09:25,027 --> 00:09:27,363
where we were thinking,
"Man, this is the year."
188
00:09:27,446 --> 00:09:31,492
It's an unfortunate thing, right?
To be good enough and not get it.
189
00:09:31,576 --> 00:09:34,328
I think Denny, understanding his age,
190
00:09:34,412 --> 00:09:36,747
understanding where he is in his life,
191
00:09:36,831 --> 00:09:39,166
realizes, like, it's now or never.
192
00:09:39,250 --> 00:09:42,420
[Denny] Do I wanna win a championship?
A thousand percent.
193
00:09:42,503 --> 00:09:46,048
But it's not gonna define my career.
My career is defined by
194
00:09:46,132 --> 00:09:48,384
how many trophies
do I have in this house?
195
00:09:48,467 --> 00:09:50,344
Right now there's 50.
196
00:09:50,428 --> 00:09:53,931
Denny wants that championship
more than he wants oxygen.
197
00:09:59,312 --> 00:10:01,397
A little too close for comfort there.
198
00:10:04,442 --> 00:10:07,528
Hey... I'm still...
199
00:10:07,987 --> 00:10:10,406
Still. Still trying.
200
00:10:10,489 --> 00:10:14,201
[commentator 4] Let's talk about
Denny Hamlin. He's been close before,
201
00:10:14,285 --> 00:10:17,705
but he's always come up short
in his race for the championship.
202
00:10:17,788 --> 00:10:21,292
He's qualified for the playoffs,
he's taken the first step.
203
00:10:21,375 --> 00:10:25,296
But once again, he's gonna be
one of 16 drivers going for the title.
204
00:10:25,379 --> 00:10:29,008
Who's gonna be his biggest,
toughest competition this time out?
205
00:10:29,091 --> 00:10:31,719
I think William Byron
of Hendrick Motorsports.
206
00:10:31,802 --> 00:10:35,222
[whirring]
207
00:10:36,015 --> 00:10:36,932
[Erin] Cereal.
208
00:10:37,016 --> 00:10:38,517
-[William] Oh, yeah.
-[Erin] Nice.
209
00:10:38,601 --> 00:10:40,645
[William] Hey, the Fruit Loops are good.
210
00:10:41,812 --> 00:10:43,939
I don't have Fruit Loops on the bus.
211
00:10:45,691 --> 00:10:49,195
We've been in this house since
the beginning of last month,
212
00:10:49,278 --> 00:10:51,322
and I've been racing
all over the country,
213
00:10:51,405 --> 00:10:54,867
so I think I was only home
seven days in July.
214
00:10:54,950 --> 00:10:57,244
It's starting to feel
a little more like home.
215
00:10:57,328 --> 00:11:00,915
As you can see, I like sweets,
so Oreos or cookies.
216
00:11:00,998 --> 00:11:04,835
Yeah, the healthy diet's not...
not kicked in yet.
217
00:11:05,670 --> 00:11:07,421
It's never gonna kick in.
218
00:11:08,047 --> 00:11:10,007
[Erin] William's honestly the best.
219
00:11:10,091 --> 00:11:13,052
We're both kind of
goofy and young-hearted.
220
00:11:13,135 --> 00:11:17,807
We met, like all people meet these days,
through social media.
221
00:11:17,890 --> 00:11:20,726
{\an8}We've been together
almost four years.
222
00:11:20,810 --> 00:11:22,978
Look at all this stuff
that you put in here.
223
00:11:23,062 --> 00:11:25,523
-There's a couple that are still empty.
-Holy cow.
224
00:11:25,606 --> 00:11:28,317
This is first win, Daytona.
225
00:11:28,401 --> 00:11:32,613
I feel like we've approached
the whole year like it's the playoffs.
226
00:11:32,697 --> 00:11:35,616
We have five wins this year.
I'm ready to go.
227
00:11:35,700 --> 00:11:37,910
I'd rather the playoffs start tomorrow.
228
00:11:37,993 --> 00:11:41,414
We've prepared all year
for these ten races.
229
00:11:41,497 --> 00:11:42,790
Let's see what we got.
230
00:11:42,873 --> 00:11:46,502
Good job, boys, what a race car!
231
00:11:46,585 --> 00:11:47,878
Awesome job, guys.
232
00:11:47,962 --> 00:11:50,256
All the way to the line. You did it!
233
00:11:50,339 --> 00:11:53,175
Oh, yeah, baby!
Two in a row, let's go!
234
00:11:53,259 --> 00:11:56,637
Are you kidding me?
Yes! Hell yes!
235
00:11:57,847 --> 00:12:00,057
[commentator] William Byron wins
at The Glen.
236
00:12:00,141 --> 00:12:02,518
[commentator 1]
His fifth win of the season.
237
00:12:02,601 --> 00:12:04,729
[William] Woo-hoo-hoo! Nice work.
238
00:12:05,312 --> 00:12:07,898
This is the fresh trophy here.
239
00:12:08,983 --> 00:12:10,234
It's a Watkins Glen.
240
00:12:10,943 --> 00:12:16,907
[Shannon] William Byron, the iRacer
turned potential Cup Champion.
241
00:12:16,991 --> 00:12:18,784
It is a wild story.
242
00:12:18,868 --> 00:12:22,204
[Rick]
William learned to race on a computer.
243
00:12:22,288 --> 00:12:25,124
{\an8}He's very unique individual.
244
00:12:27,168 --> 00:12:30,880
[William] People always ask me,
"Oh, what is iRacing? What is sim racing?"
245
00:12:30,963 --> 00:12:34,091
I'm like, "It's pretty similar
to a flight simulator,
246
00:12:34,175 --> 00:12:37,428
like trying the techniques that
you're gonna use in the real car."
247
00:12:37,511 --> 00:12:40,973
So, you know, I think it's...
Yeah, it's pretty damn close.
248
00:12:41,056 --> 00:12:44,351
I would come home from school
and I would get straight onto iRacing
249
00:12:44,435 --> 00:12:46,312
and I'd run till ten o'clock at night.
250
00:12:46,395 --> 00:12:49,273
My parents, first, they're like,
"This is a huge distraction.
251
00:12:49,356 --> 00:12:50,900
You need to get off the computer."
252
00:12:50,983 --> 00:12:54,236
[Dana] If he ain't got his homework done,
then he couldn't iRace.
253
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,782
{\an8}We were like, "If you don't keep your
grades up, then you can't race."
254
00:12:57,865 --> 00:13:00,534
[Shannon] This isn't the traditional way
that these guys start.
255
00:13:00,618 --> 00:13:05,122
These guys start on short tracks,
starting at 5, 6, 7 years old.
256
00:13:05,206 --> 00:13:07,833
Go-karts, they're working
on the cars with their dads,
257
00:13:07,917 --> 00:13:09,668
They're spending time on the track,
258
00:13:09,752 --> 00:13:14,048
not time in their bedroom,
sitting in a gaming chair.
259
00:13:14,131 --> 00:13:18,093
[William] Racing a real car
is very physical, it's intense.
260
00:13:18,177 --> 00:13:19,261
There's danger.
261
00:13:19,345 --> 00:13:23,057
It's not easy to run on a sim,
but there's no penalty for crashing.
262
00:13:23,140 --> 00:13:25,059
Eventually, my parents were watching
263
00:13:25,142 --> 00:13:27,853
and they're like,
"Man, he's really good at this."
264
00:13:27,937 --> 00:13:29,939
[Bill] He said, "Well, I'm 13 years old,
265
00:13:30,022 --> 00:13:32,733
and if I'm ever gonna race a car,
I need to get on with it."
266
00:13:32,817 --> 00:13:37,196
{\an8}He had five pages laid out
of how he could race a legend car...
267
00:13:37,279 --> 00:13:39,657
and he'd like to go see
what that looks like.
268
00:13:39,740 --> 00:13:42,368
[William] When I first got in a race car,
269
00:13:42,451 --> 00:13:45,871
I couldn't get the thing started,
I couldn't get it up the hill.
270
00:13:45,955 --> 00:13:48,457
[Bill] So then he went to his first race,
28 cars,
271
00:13:48,541 --> 00:13:51,794
and he qualified second in his first race,
and he finished fourth.
272
00:13:51,877 --> 00:13:53,879
And then one thing led to another
273
00:13:53,963 --> 00:13:56,924
and then he raced 66 races
and won 34 of them.
274
00:13:57,925 --> 00:14:01,095
[Jeff] The first thing that blew me away
about William
275
00:14:01,178 --> 00:14:04,014
{\an8}was how little racing experience he had,
276
00:14:04,098 --> 00:14:07,393
{\an8}yet he was climbing the ladder
at such a fast rate.
277
00:14:07,476 --> 00:14:10,479
[Rick] William, when he was about
15 years old, walked up
278
00:14:10,563 --> 00:14:12,982
and said, "Hey, I'm gonna
drive for you one day."
279
00:14:13,065 --> 00:14:15,526
Well, I've heard that
a lot from different people,
280
00:14:15,609 --> 00:14:17,152
but the character of the guy
281
00:14:17,236 --> 00:14:20,364
and the ability that he showed
was just phenomenal,
282
00:14:20,447 --> 00:14:23,909
so I felt like he was really worth
taking a chance on.
283
00:14:25,452 --> 00:14:29,039
[William] We have worked so hard
to make sure that
284
00:14:29,123 --> 00:14:32,001
when we get to the Fall
that there's no gaps.
285
00:14:32,084 --> 00:14:35,129
That's a lot of fuel. I was almost out.
286
00:14:35,212 --> 00:14:39,592
If I wake up Sunday at Phoenix
and we're in the Championship 4,
287
00:14:39,675 --> 00:14:41,886
I think we could be the champion.
288
00:14:41,969 --> 00:14:44,722
I do listen to Denny's
podcast occasionally.
289
00:14:44,805 --> 00:14:47,141
[Denny] What's up, guys?
Welcome to Actions Detrimental.
290
00:14:47,224 --> 00:14:50,269
This week I wanted to hear what
he had to say about a few things.
291
00:14:50,352 --> 00:14:52,062
[Denny] Headed to Daytona this weekend.
292
00:14:52,146 --> 00:14:55,190
Make-or-break race, last race
before we get into the playoffs.
293
00:14:55,274 --> 00:14:58,944
Nice to hear the mindset
of another driver, you know.
294
00:14:59,028 --> 00:15:04,283
I think that's why I enjoy listening
to his and you learn a lot.
295
00:15:05,034 --> 00:15:09,204
[Denny] Bubble. It's all about the bubble.
This is big, huge.
296
00:15:09,288 --> 00:15:12,333
{\an8}Daytona one of the best races
that you'll see all season.
297
00:15:12,416 --> 00:15:13,792
is gonna happen this weekend.
298
00:15:13,876 --> 00:15:18,797
{\an8}We've got the 23 car, Bubba Wallace,
on the cut line, above it,
299
00:15:18,881 --> 00:15:20,424
{\an8}Ty Gibbs, below it.
300
00:15:20,507 --> 00:15:24,261
I'm in a very difficult position
when you look at the bubble,
301
00:15:24,345 --> 00:15:25,846
but I'm rooting for Bubba.
302
00:15:25,930 --> 00:15:28,432
Bubba has never been
a playoff driver.
303
00:15:28,515 --> 00:15:31,977
I want him to run whatever race
he needs to run
304
00:15:32,061 --> 00:15:34,104
to get himself in the playoffs.
305
00:15:34,188 --> 00:15:38,233
I think Bubba has paid his dues.
He's a deserving playoff driver.
306
00:15:38,943 --> 00:15:42,696
Monday's actually a team meeting
where we'll go over the weekend,
307
00:15:42,780 --> 00:15:45,491
talk about what we did good,
what we did bad.
308
00:15:45,574 --> 00:15:48,869
I'm sure given kind of
the stakes that's in front of us,
309
00:15:48,953 --> 00:15:52,039
you'll hear Daytona being
sprinkled in more often
310
00:15:52,122 --> 00:15:55,376
than it'd be if it was
any other regular season race.
311
00:15:55,459 --> 00:15:58,629
[Shannon] Denny's been with Joe Gibbs
Racing since the beginning of his career.
312
00:15:58,712 --> 00:16:01,548
Joe Gibbs has been loyal to Denny
from the very beginning.
313
00:16:01,632 --> 00:16:04,510
{\an8}[Steve] Joe Gibbs... if you're a
football fan, you know the name.
314
00:16:04,593 --> 00:16:06,136
{\an8}Won a couple of Super Bowls.
315
00:16:06,220 --> 00:16:08,097
{\an8}He moved to South,
bought a race team.
316
00:16:08,180 --> 00:16:11,725
But there's a lot of drivers in the field
who wanna secure their legacy.
317
00:16:11,809 --> 00:16:15,521
They don't wanna just be a driver,
they want to be a team owner.
318
00:16:15,604 --> 00:16:18,983
[Denny] I didn't think that owning
a racing team was the right fit
319
00:16:19,066 --> 00:16:22,236
while I was still driving,
but the stars aligned.
320
00:16:22,319 --> 00:16:25,656
[Shannon] Denny had developed
this relationship with Michael Jordan
321
00:16:25,739 --> 00:16:28,283
going to Hornets games
here in the Charlotte area.
322
00:16:28,367 --> 00:16:31,954
Denny has court-side seats,
probably sat next to Michael many times.
323
00:16:32,037 --> 00:16:33,580
{\an8}I've known Denny seven years.
324
00:16:33,664 --> 00:16:37,084
{\an8}He's gotten better.
You know, obviously, my interest
325
00:16:37,167 --> 00:16:40,129
in the sport has been there
for a long period of time
326
00:16:40,212 --> 00:16:41,880
and I love watching that.
327
00:16:41,964 --> 00:16:46,593
I set my clock every Sunday
to watch NASCAR and I pay attention.
328
00:16:46,677 --> 00:16:49,179
[Denny] He gave me his phone number
and I'm like,
329
00:16:49,263 --> 00:16:53,100
"I'm gonna just shoot my shot here and
say, 'Hey, Michael, I need a partner.'"
330
00:16:53,183 --> 00:16:55,686
So along with being
a driver in the number 11 car,
331
00:16:55,769 --> 00:17:00,232
{\an8}I also am a co-owner of 23XI Racing
with Michael Jordan.
332
00:17:00,315 --> 00:17:02,776
{\an8}Those cars are the 45 with Tyler Reddick
333
00:17:02,860 --> 00:17:05,320
and the 23 with Bubba Wallace,
334
00:17:05,404 --> 00:17:09,616
competitors each and every Sunday
that I try to go out there and beat.
335
00:17:16,915 --> 00:17:19,501
{\an8}-[Bubba] Hello, bitch.
-Great job, buddy.
336
00:17:19,585 --> 00:17:20,711
{\an8}[laughs]
337
00:17:20,794 --> 00:17:22,379
{\an8}-Great job, buddy.
-[Bubba] Thanks.
338
00:17:22,463 --> 00:17:25,716
{\an8}[Dale] Bubba Wallace, one of the drivers
trying to work his way into the playoffs.
339
00:17:25,799 --> 00:17:27,384
Daytona has been a great track for him.
340
00:17:27,468 --> 00:17:30,721
He's in good cars with a team
that's growing, they believe in him.
341
00:17:30,804 --> 00:17:34,683
I love seeing him run well,
'cause I know how badly he wants to.
342
00:17:34,767 --> 00:17:37,186
[Dave]
I can't compliment BW enough.
343
00:17:37,269 --> 00:17:40,773
{\an8}Came off of a weekend
where he wasn't happy
344
00:17:40,856 --> 00:17:44,068
{\an8}with his performance at Indy
and personal best at Watkins Glen
345
00:17:44,151 --> 00:17:46,361
and stayed in the fight all day.
He didn't back into it.
346
00:17:46,445 --> 00:17:49,490
He ran up there all day, so great job.
And, Bootie, you too.
347
00:17:49,573 --> 00:17:53,702
{\an8}I mean, the whole team, right?
Good momentum leading into Daytona.
348
00:17:53,786 --> 00:17:57,206
Bubba is currently holding
the last position for driver points.
349
00:17:57,289 --> 00:18:00,042
Definitely within our reach,
but we have our work cut out for us.
350
00:18:00,125 --> 00:18:04,088
{\an8}45, top ten, little bit less
than what we were hoping for
351
00:18:04,171 --> 00:18:08,592
but kind of...
as Denny would say, "a pedestrian day."
352
00:18:08,675 --> 00:18:10,594
Not bad, not great.
353
00:18:10,677 --> 00:18:13,972
[Dale]
Tyler Reddick is the other driver at 23XI.
354
00:18:14,056 --> 00:18:17,601
He is driving the 45 car,
which is Jordan's other number.
355
00:18:17,684 --> 00:18:20,020
[Shannon]
Iron sharpens iron and Tyler Reddick,
356
00:18:20,104 --> 00:18:23,732
who's a really talented race car driver,
357
00:18:23,816 --> 00:18:26,026
is helping to raise
that level for Bubba.
358
00:18:26,110 --> 00:18:28,070
[Ty] Let's go! We're here!
359
00:18:28,153 --> 00:18:30,656
[commentator] Tyler Reddick with the win
in Austin, Texas,
360
00:18:30,739 --> 00:18:33,033
and that locks him into a playoff spot.
361
00:18:33,117 --> 00:18:35,828
[Dale] That car's had a lot of success
with this team.
362
00:18:35,911 --> 00:18:39,164
He's got a win,
so he's locked in to the playoffs.
363
00:18:39,248 --> 00:18:41,291
[commentator 1]
That is a monster win, buddy.
364
00:18:41,375 --> 00:18:43,252
[Dale] Some of that pressure
that Bubba feels
365
00:18:43,335 --> 00:18:44,795
to make the playoffs through Daytona,
366
00:18:44,878 --> 00:18:46,547
Tyler doesn't necessarily feel.
367
00:18:46,630 --> 00:18:49,800
[Ty] I've been on that cut line a few
times where it comes down to Daytona
368
00:18:49,883 --> 00:18:52,177
whether you make it
or lose it, that's stressful,
369
00:18:52,261 --> 00:18:55,347
but our goals as a company
is to get both cars in the playoffs.
370
00:18:55,430 --> 00:18:57,808
That's something
that is very possible for both of us.
371
00:18:57,891 --> 00:19:00,727
[Steve] Having a teammate is like
playing sports against your brother.
372
00:19:00,811 --> 00:19:04,356
If you can't win, there's no one you want
to win more than your brother.
373
00:19:04,439 --> 00:19:08,193
[Denny] For Bubba going into Daytona,
he's got to either win himself,
374
00:19:08,277 --> 00:19:11,530
not have a new winner that would
essentially knock the 23 team out
375
00:19:11,613 --> 00:19:12,990
or point his way in.
376
00:19:13,073 --> 00:19:15,909
Staying up front,
getting as many points as he can.
377
00:19:15,993 --> 00:19:18,871
That way that ensures
that he is that last guy in.
378
00:19:19,997 --> 00:19:22,541
I said from the very beginning
when I started this team,
379
00:19:22,624 --> 00:19:25,043
that it was gonna take
a five-year process
380
00:19:25,127 --> 00:19:27,963
for me to build
a championship-contending team.
381
00:19:28,046 --> 00:19:31,008
We're in year
two-and-three-quarters right now.
382
00:19:33,093 --> 00:19:36,805
[Bubba] It's super special to be part of
a race team with Michael Jordan
383
00:19:36,889 --> 00:19:40,100
owning it, and having him
at the race track and being a fan.
384
00:19:40,184 --> 00:19:43,353
He's passionate about NASCAR.
He has been since he was a kid.
385
00:19:43,437 --> 00:19:45,189
He's living out his dream.
386
00:19:45,272 --> 00:19:49,610
[Shannon] For Bubba Wallace to make
the playoffs, it would mean everything.
387
00:19:49,693 --> 00:19:53,030
He knows Michael, who has
six championships, is looking down on him.
388
00:19:53,113 --> 00:19:56,491
He knows Denny, who has three
Daytona 500s, is looking down on him.
389
00:19:56,575 --> 00:19:58,452
It's go time for Bubba Wallace.
390
00:19:58,535 --> 00:20:01,747
He knows that, and making the playoffs
is the first step in that.
391
00:20:01,830 --> 00:20:04,416
[Steve] The people that try to avoid
pressure avoid being good.
392
00:20:04,499 --> 00:20:06,376
You don't think Michael Jordan
felt pressure?
393
00:20:06,460 --> 00:20:09,463
You don't think the greatest athletes
felt pressure? That's why they do it.
394
00:20:09,546 --> 00:20:11,757
If he thinks making the playoffs
is pressure,
395
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,593
whew, wait till you're one of 16.
396
00:20:14,676 --> 00:20:17,387
[Bootie]
MJ and Denny, they expect great things.
397
00:20:17,471 --> 00:20:19,973
We have great people,
we have money,
398
00:20:20,057 --> 00:20:23,018
so we are not exactly
the little engine that could.
399
00:20:23,101 --> 00:20:27,105
No, no, we're a battleship,
but we are hungry and we want it.
400
00:20:27,189 --> 00:20:29,733
{\an8}The pressure is worse on him,
401
00:20:29,816 --> 00:20:34,112
{\an8}and it's affecting him more, but he's
getting better at handling that.
402
00:20:34,196 --> 00:20:36,615
[Bubba] I've done a lot better job
of blocking out the noise
403
00:20:36,698 --> 00:20:38,408
and just going out
and racing for self.
404
00:20:38,492 --> 00:20:42,287
You have that chip on your shoulder
and I finally start to let that down
405
00:20:42,371 --> 00:20:46,375
and kind of enjoy where you're at
instead of fighting to be where you're at.
406
00:20:46,458 --> 00:20:49,920
[Denny] Bubba's confident.
He's fantastic on superspeedways.
407
00:20:50,003 --> 00:20:52,172
-[man] Absolutely.
-[Denny] He's won on a superspeedway.
408
00:20:52,256 --> 00:20:53,715
He's always in contention at Daytona.
409
00:20:53,799 --> 00:20:58,262
I do think that this is gonna be
just an absolute crash fest.
410
00:20:58,345 --> 00:21:01,640
Why is that always happening
here at Daytona? What fuels that?
411
00:21:01,723 --> 00:21:03,892
We're all running in
a tight pack together,
412
00:21:03,976 --> 00:21:06,520
so first through 20th
is one-second apart.
413
00:21:06,603 --> 00:21:09,439
You're using the car beside you,
the car behind you,
414
00:21:09,523 --> 00:21:12,025
the car in front of you
to make your car go faster.
415
00:21:12,109 --> 00:21:14,069
So it leads to mistakes.
416
00:21:14,152 --> 00:21:18,865
{\an8}This is a race where you could run
like shit all year long.
417
00:21:18,949 --> 00:21:20,325
[Denny] Save your season now.
418
00:21:20,409 --> 00:21:24,162
Right, one good race,
one good showing at Daytona
419
00:21:24,246 --> 00:21:26,748
could put you in the playoffs
and completely turn the season on.
420
00:21:26,832 --> 00:21:31,169
It changes everything.
It's gonna be fricking crazy this weekend.
421
00:21:31,253 --> 00:21:35,382
Let's get that 23 car in there,
and let's go race for a championship.
422
00:21:35,465 --> 00:21:38,468
["Walk the Line" by
Patrick McManus playing]
423
00:21:55,861 --> 00:21:58,322
[Marty] The NASCAR season
breaks down like this.
424
00:21:58,405 --> 00:22:00,157
There are 36 races.
425
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:04,202
The first 26 of those
are regular season races.
426
00:22:04,286 --> 00:22:07,789
NASCAR starts with its Super Bowl
beginning at Daytona
427
00:22:07,873 --> 00:22:11,126
in the 500 and ends at Daytona,
428
00:22:11,209 --> 00:22:15,422
and that's the final cutoff race
before the ten-race playoffs.
429
00:22:15,505 --> 00:22:18,550
When NASCAR made the decision
to move the final race
430
00:22:18,633 --> 00:22:22,054
of the regular season to Daytona,
a lot of people applauded,
431
00:22:22,137 --> 00:22:24,431
and the reason that they applauded was
432
00:22:24,514 --> 00:22:27,392
you have no idea
what the hell is about to happen.
433
00:22:27,476 --> 00:22:29,686
[Steve] This is it. A year's worth of work
434
00:22:29,770 --> 00:22:32,272
comes down to the final race
of the regular season
435
00:22:32,356 --> 00:22:35,025
and the final shot
at the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs
436
00:22:35,108 --> 00:22:37,402
for some of the biggest names
in the sport.
437
00:22:37,486 --> 00:22:41,198
[commentator] There's that one 16th spot
that is still available.
438
00:22:41,281 --> 00:22:44,201
Ty Gibbs fighting to make
his first playoffs.
439
00:22:44,284 --> 00:22:48,747
{\an8}Thirty-two points behind Bubba Wallace
just below that cutoff line.
440
00:22:54,753 --> 00:22:57,297
[Dale] So Denny's in
a unique situation as an owner.
441
00:22:57,381 --> 00:23:00,884
He has two cars out on the racetrack,
and then he drives for Joe Gibbs.
442
00:23:00,967 --> 00:23:04,388
Why that's profound is
because Ty Gibbs and Bubba,
443
00:23:04,471 --> 00:23:07,015
both of those drivers need to
get into the playoffs.
444
00:23:07,099 --> 00:23:08,683
Bubba drives Denny's car
445
00:23:08,767 --> 00:23:13,980
and Ty Gibbs is the grandson
of Joe Gibbs who is the boss.
446
00:23:14,064 --> 00:23:15,440
It isn't just any driver.
447
00:23:15,524 --> 00:23:18,485
[Steve] Daytona, Talladega,
and Atlanta are tracks where
448
00:23:18,568 --> 00:23:21,279
it is more advantageous to be in a line
449
00:23:21,363 --> 00:23:24,074
and you help each other,
you literally push each other.
450
00:23:24,157 --> 00:23:27,411
[Dale] If you've ever rode behind
an 18-wheeler on the interstate
451
00:23:27,494 --> 00:23:29,329
and you feel your car
being buffeted around
452
00:23:29,413 --> 00:23:32,707
by the wind off the back
of that tractor-trailer, that's the draft.
453
00:23:32,791 --> 00:23:36,461
In a race car, we can literally
ride inches away from each other
454
00:23:36,545 --> 00:23:40,048
bumping and pushing
and staying together in the draft
455
00:23:40,132 --> 00:23:41,925
to sort of move forward.
456
00:23:42,008 --> 00:23:45,303
Daytona...
you need a lot of friends.
457
00:23:45,387 --> 00:23:48,348
What do you do, Denny?
Do you push one of your teammates,
458
00:23:48,432 --> 00:23:51,309
or do you push one of the cars
you own to the win?
459
00:23:51,393 --> 00:23:54,020
If you're in that scenario
off of turn four, who do you help?
460
00:23:54,104 --> 00:23:57,107
What makes Denny great
is it's gonna be a selfish decision.
461
00:23:57,190 --> 00:24:00,694
[Denny] By the letter of the law,
I should be pushing Ty.
462
00:24:00,777 --> 00:24:03,280
I'm financially invested in the 23.
463
00:24:03,363 --> 00:24:06,575
I think that they know where
my allegiance would lie on this one.
464
00:24:06,658 --> 00:24:08,910
[commentator]
So in his podcast earlier this week,
465
00:24:08,994 --> 00:24:12,330
Denny said, "If it came down
to it at the end of the race,
466
00:24:12,414 --> 00:24:15,584
I would push Bubba Wallace,
not my teammate, Ty Gibbs."
467
00:24:15,667 --> 00:24:17,836
An interesting comment
from Denny Hamlin.
468
00:24:17,919 --> 00:24:20,964
Junior, you own a race car
and a race team, what would you do?
469
00:24:21,047 --> 00:24:24,551
[Dale] I'd probably push the car
that I owned to the win.
470
00:24:24,634 --> 00:24:28,388
I think the difference with me is
I wouldn't have said that publicly.
471
00:24:28,472 --> 00:24:30,056
[laughter[
472
00:24:30,140 --> 00:24:32,934
Why would you not just
keep that to yourself?
473
00:24:33,018 --> 00:24:36,021
But Denny can't tell a lie.
474
00:24:37,355 --> 00:24:38,815
Denny can't tell a lie, yeah.
475
00:24:38,899 --> 00:24:41,234
[Denny] I can tell you,
this superspeedway shit
476
00:24:41,318 --> 00:24:43,945
{\an8}was so much easier
when I could just do my own thing.
477
00:24:44,029 --> 00:24:46,573
{\an8}-Yeah, I know.
-It's such a pain in the fucking ass.
478
00:24:46,656 --> 00:24:50,035
Won a lot of ways just fucking
being selfish the whole time.
479
00:24:50,118 --> 00:24:52,204
-I know I enjoyed that, too.
-Right?
480
00:24:52,287 --> 00:24:54,664
Make what decision's right for yourself.
481
00:24:58,418 --> 00:25:01,505
{\an8}Man, must be important
if you're waiting on me.
482
00:25:01,588 --> 00:25:04,674
{\an8}[chuckles] No, I was just gonna come by
and get an update.
483
00:25:04,758 --> 00:25:06,968
{\an8}Okay. I've got a little bit for you.
484
00:25:07,052 --> 00:25:09,930
[Joe] Anybody would look at it
and say, "Wait a minute,
485
00:25:10,013 --> 00:25:13,433
you're gonna drive for a team
yet own another team.
486
00:25:13,517 --> 00:25:15,519
How's that gonna work?"
487
00:25:15,602 --> 00:25:18,396
We all looked at it and said,
"It's gonna be complicated.
488
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,190
Probably have its challenges."
489
00:25:20,273 --> 00:25:23,568
[Denny] It's the first time that
we've ever had a true conflict,
490
00:25:23,652 --> 00:25:28,323
but I just wanna make it very clear
where my allegiance lies
491
00:25:28,406 --> 00:25:30,909
and that obviously could
rub people the wrong way,
492
00:25:30,992 --> 00:25:33,036
but it's the right thing to do
493
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:36,581
if I'm gonna be a leader
of the team that I own.
494
00:25:36,665 --> 00:25:39,042
[Joe]
Denny's been here for 17 years.
495
00:25:39,125 --> 00:25:42,587
There's no way that I would
not expect him to support our...
496
00:25:42,671 --> 00:25:44,297
the place he's been, so...
497
00:25:44,381 --> 00:25:46,758
[Bubba]
Now we know where Denny stands on that.
498
00:25:46,841 --> 00:25:50,720
It's a tough spot for him, being like,
"Hey, I'm not helping out my team.
499
00:25:50,804 --> 00:25:53,181
I'm helping my team."
500
00:25:56,268 --> 00:25:59,521
{\an8}[Chris] Rudy, how are you?
Congrats on your...
501
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:02,065
{\an8}crushing again last week.
502
00:26:03,233 --> 00:26:05,986
{\an8}-It was something.
-Yeah, it was something.
503
00:26:08,738 --> 00:26:10,574
[Marty]
What made NASCAR beautiful
504
00:26:10,657 --> 00:26:14,494
in the '60s and '70s and '80s
was ingenuity.
505
00:26:14,578 --> 00:26:16,746
Yes, there was a rule book,
506
00:26:16,830 --> 00:26:21,126
but the famous crew chiefs
were able to work in the gray areas.
507
00:26:21,209 --> 00:26:24,045
"I bow this piece of
sheet metal out a little bit
508
00:26:24,129 --> 00:26:28,216
or I create this device that gives me that
aerodynamic advantage,
509
00:26:28,300 --> 00:26:30,218
and I'm gonna dare NASCAR
to catch me."
510
00:26:30,302 --> 00:26:32,304
That's not quite the case anymore
511
00:26:32,387 --> 00:26:34,889
because the race cars
they're running right now
512
00:26:34,973 --> 00:26:37,726
are designed to be very similar.
513
00:26:37,809 --> 00:26:41,438
[Steve] Some parts of the car are metal,
some are carbon fiber.
514
00:26:41,521 --> 00:26:44,274
They all expand and contract
at different temperatures.
515
00:26:44,357 --> 00:26:46,401
So I have to keep the car
as cool as I can keep it.
516
00:26:46,484 --> 00:26:47,736
When you watch inspection,
517
00:26:47,819 --> 00:26:50,363
it's like the funniest thing
in the world, the umbrellas.
518
00:26:50,447 --> 00:26:53,158
Have you seen where they walk
around holding the umbrellas?
519
00:26:53,241 --> 00:26:56,453
That's just to keep the sun
off the car 'cause the car grows.
520
00:26:56,536 --> 00:27:00,415
[Chris] Our job with the cars
is to get everything to the legal limit
521
00:27:00,498 --> 00:27:01,916
and the legal tolerance.
522
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,961
The fastest car possible
that NASCAR is okay with
523
00:27:05,045 --> 00:27:07,380
on the rules' side, that's the goal.
524
00:27:07,464 --> 00:27:09,674
Equal cars,
let the drivers be the show.
525
00:27:09,758 --> 00:27:13,637
The cars have to be the same.
It's NASCAR's way of ensuring
526
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,514
that you're watching a level
playing field of the race.
527
00:27:17,766 --> 00:27:21,061
There are tens of thousands
of nuts and bolts,
528
00:27:21,144 --> 00:27:22,979
parts and pieces, moving parts
529
00:27:23,063 --> 00:27:25,774
that goes into making this machine
perform flawlessly.
530
00:27:25,857 --> 00:27:28,568
You're talking about thousandths
of an inch everywhere,
531
00:27:28,652 --> 00:27:32,113
so it's easy to get a little nervous
about some of it.
532
00:27:32,197 --> 00:27:35,033
[Steve] Speed limit says 35,
so you're only gonna go 35?
533
00:27:35,116 --> 00:27:38,745
Now you go 40, so that's speeding.
But you don't expect to be pulled over.
534
00:27:38,828 --> 00:27:43,083
The difference between 29.0 seconds
535
00:27:43,166 --> 00:27:46,878
and 29.1 seconds might be
thickness of a credit card.
536
00:27:47,629 --> 00:27:50,674
Okay, there we go.
Hey, we did it.
537
00:27:50,757 --> 00:27:52,509
So that's it, we passed.
538
00:27:52,592 --> 00:27:56,054
Now we go back to our garage,
get this thing ready to qualify tonight.
539
00:27:56,137 --> 00:27:58,765
Starts with qualifying.
You want to get a decent starting spot
540
00:27:58,848 --> 00:28:00,433
because it is gonna be hard to pass
541
00:28:00,517 --> 00:28:02,435
at this great big
two-and-a-half mile racetrack.
542
00:28:02,519 --> 00:28:05,271
I know that sounds crazy,
but it's really hard to get an advantage.
543
00:28:05,355 --> 00:28:07,065
You wanna qualify good tonight for sure.
544
00:28:08,108 --> 00:28:10,568
Every weekend starts out with qualifying.
545
00:28:10,652 --> 00:28:14,531
Here at Daytona, you're gonna go out
and run 185 miles an hour
546
00:28:14,614 --> 00:28:17,200
and run about a 45, 50-second lap.
547
00:28:17,867 --> 00:28:20,495
[announcer] Let's ride on board
with Bubba Wallace here
548
00:28:20,578 --> 00:28:23,331
out on the racetrack on the cusp of
making his first-ever playoffs.
549
00:28:23,415 --> 00:28:26,501
[Dale] Whatever you run determines
how you will start the race
550
00:28:26,584 --> 00:28:30,505
and where you'll be placed in the field.
Fastest car gets a start on the pole.
551
00:28:30,588 --> 00:28:35,051
If you can start the race up front,
it makes your job a whole lot easier.
552
00:28:35,135 --> 00:28:38,596
[announcer] That makes things easier.
Bubba Wallace answers the call.
553
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:39,889
Qualifying fourth,
554
00:28:39,973 --> 00:28:43,059
which should make owners Denny Hamlin
and Michael Jordan happy.
555
00:28:43,143 --> 00:28:44,936
[Bubba] Don't think
there's any greater pressure
556
00:28:45,019 --> 00:28:46,521
than the pressure you put on yourself.
557
00:28:46,604 --> 00:28:49,065
I wanna win practice, win qualifying,
win the race.
558
00:28:49,149 --> 00:28:51,860
It's hard to do.
Sixteenth, last car in.
559
00:28:52,944 --> 00:28:55,363
Any new winner would bump us out.
560
00:28:55,447 --> 00:28:59,075
I try not to think about it too much.
561
00:28:59,159 --> 00:29:02,287
[commentator] And look at that,
Ty Gibbs qualifying fifth,
562
00:29:02,370 --> 00:29:06,833
so he'll start right behind Bubba tomorrow
as they vie for that final playoff spot.
563
00:29:06,916 --> 00:29:09,377
One driver left to go, Denny Hamlin,
564
00:29:09,461 --> 00:29:11,838
and that lap is not exactly
what he had in mind.
565
00:29:11,921 --> 00:29:15,091
He'll start in the middle of the pack
in the 19th position.
566
00:29:15,175 --> 00:29:17,802
I will lower my expectations accordingly.
567
00:29:17,886 --> 00:29:20,013
I was a little bumpy in qualifying.
568
00:29:20,096 --> 00:29:24,601
Didn't run quite the speed we expected,
so a little disappointing.
569
00:29:26,728 --> 00:29:33,109
{\an8}On there, during qualifying,
they showed you only half throttle
570
00:29:33,610 --> 00:29:35,904
{\an8}the whole way. Why?
571
00:29:35,987 --> 00:29:38,198
Their data must be messed up.
572
00:29:38,281 --> 00:29:40,742
It was only you
that it showed that on.
573
00:29:40,825 --> 00:29:42,452
Really?
574
00:29:42,535 --> 00:29:44,245
You gotta press on that gas.
575
00:29:44,329 --> 00:29:46,998
Mom, I was not half throttle,
I can assure you that.
576
00:29:47,081 --> 00:29:49,250
I'm right next to my other teammates.
577
00:29:49,334 --> 00:29:51,878
-Back it up.
-I'm not doubting that.
578
00:29:51,961 --> 00:29:55,048
-Can I back it up?
-[Denny] If you must.
579
00:29:55,131 --> 00:29:58,968
No. Mom,
it shows I'm in first gear.
580
00:29:59,052 --> 00:30:01,638
-Look at the gear.
-[commentator on TV] We're taking away.
581
00:30:01,721 --> 00:30:05,725
Denny Hamlin is 19th
on his qualifying run.
582
00:30:05,809 --> 00:30:07,685
[Denny] I'm slow, I don't know.
583
00:30:07,769 --> 00:30:10,688
I walk in, she says,
"I've got two questions."
584
00:30:10,772 --> 00:30:14,859
-What's the second one?
-You and everybody else.
585
00:30:18,238 --> 00:30:20,782
{\an8}[radio announcer] Welcome back to
The Morning Drive, getting ready
586
00:30:20,865 --> 00:30:24,494
for the Coke Zero Sugar 400
at Daytona International Speedway.
587
00:30:24,577 --> 00:30:27,247
Race Week going into
Daytona always special.
588
00:30:27,330 --> 00:30:29,374
Denny Hamlin's hands are full.
589
00:30:29,457 --> 00:30:32,252
He's preparing for this race
at Daytona as a driver,
590
00:30:32,335 --> 00:30:35,004
but he's also preparing
for it as an owner as well.
591
00:30:35,088 --> 00:30:37,674
[announcer] What kind of advice
can you give Bubba
592
00:30:37,757 --> 00:30:39,175
to stay above that line right there?
593
00:30:39,259 --> 00:30:41,302
[Denny] I just say trust your instincts.
594
00:30:41,386 --> 00:30:44,013
If he just does his own thing,
he's gonna be fine.
595
00:30:44,097 --> 00:30:47,225
Your number-one fan
right down there, Callie.
596
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,436
Callie wanted to know...
597
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,814
[Denny] Hold on,
I thought my number-one fan
598
00:30:52,897 --> 00:30:56,359
was the guy in the back
with the "Denny Hamlin Sucks" shirt.
599
00:30:57,652 --> 00:31:00,113
[announcer]
Everybody pretty much has a shot,
600
00:31:00,196 --> 00:31:03,283
so you know it comes down
to this right now.
601
00:31:03,366 --> 00:31:05,493
And what do you expect?
602
00:31:06,327 --> 00:31:07,704
[Denny] Mayhem.
603
00:31:07,787 --> 00:31:08,872
{\an8}-[announcer] Mayhem.
-Mayhem.
604
00:31:08,955 --> 00:31:12,500
[woman] Denny, please! Please!
605
00:31:12,584 --> 00:31:14,586
Please! Thank you.
606
00:31:14,669 --> 00:31:16,880
[Denny]
I love it. It's just really intense.
607
00:31:16,963 --> 00:31:20,341
It's a crazy racetrack,
guys pushing, shoving, wrecking.
608
00:31:20,425 --> 00:31:23,678
So, hopefully, we're not
part of the wrecking tonight.
609
00:31:23,761 --> 00:31:25,930
We want to be around
at the end to have a chance.
610
00:31:26,014 --> 00:31:28,641
-[woman] I think you got the championship.
-[Denny] I hope so.
611
00:31:28,725 --> 00:31:31,352
[William] It starts tonight.
Have a good race at Daytona
612
00:31:31,436 --> 00:31:32,979
and then get to Darlington,
613
00:31:33,062 --> 00:31:38,568
{\an8}get locked in for the playoffs
and just focus on each race.
614
00:31:38,651 --> 00:31:41,154
[crowd] Bubba!
Bubba...
615
00:31:43,323 --> 00:31:46,242
[Bubba] That was the most stressed
I've been in a long time.
616
00:31:46,326 --> 00:31:49,829
Just thinking that, "Oh, I'm gonna
get wrecked on lap one.
617
00:31:49,913 --> 00:31:53,291
Motor's gonna blow on lap five,
and there's gonna be a new winner."
618
00:31:53,374 --> 00:31:56,169
I'm not even gonna have
an opportunity to fight for it.
619
00:31:56,794 --> 00:32:01,299
[Bootie] Great job, to the road crew.
Where we qualified is excellent.
620
00:32:01,382 --> 00:32:03,509
Puts us in a great position.
621
00:32:03,593 --> 00:32:05,887
Y'all gotta feel the juice, right?
622
00:32:05,970 --> 00:32:07,263
Pretty awesome.
623
00:32:07,347 --> 00:32:08,556
Bubba's done great.
624
00:32:09,974 --> 00:32:14,687
I mean, we ain't took no shit off nobody.
We've done what we had to do.
625
00:32:14,771 --> 00:32:18,024
I'd say tonight we'd be smart,
but we need to take this.
626
00:32:18,107 --> 00:32:22,028
We're going all out. Gonna try
to stay up front, win the race.
627
00:32:22,695 --> 00:32:23,988
Let's make it happen.
628
00:32:24,864 --> 00:32:25,949
Everybody good?
629
00:32:27,241 --> 00:32:28,242
Rock and roll.
630
00:32:28,326 --> 00:32:29,160
Yep.
631
00:32:29,243 --> 00:32:32,538
[crewmember] So, you guys started it.
It's all gonna be your fault.
632
00:32:32,622 --> 00:32:35,208
-I'm getting started at 20...
-Sixteen.
633
00:32:35,291 --> 00:32:37,126
-Sixteen, is that what it was?
-Yeah.
634
00:32:39,796 --> 00:32:41,673
[announcer] If you've won
a race this season,
635
00:32:41,756 --> 00:32:44,050
then you're already
locked into the playoffs.
636
00:32:44,133 --> 00:32:47,303
Denny Hamlin, Christopher Bell,
William Byron, Tyler Reddick,
637
00:32:47,387 --> 00:32:51,557
defending champion Joey Logano,
Ryan Blaney, Chris Buescher.
638
00:32:51,641 --> 00:32:55,061
They're all in that group of
drivers that are guaranteed in.
639
00:32:55,144 --> 00:32:57,021
But it gets tricky after that.
640
00:32:57,105 --> 00:32:59,482
Remember if there's
a first-time winner tonight,
641
00:32:59,565 --> 00:33:02,694
that winner would automatically
qualify for the playoffs.
642
00:33:02,777 --> 00:33:05,655
Ty Gibbs and Bubba Wallace
are competing
643
00:33:05,738 --> 00:33:07,824
for that last spot in the playoffs.
644
00:33:07,907 --> 00:33:11,536
And if someone behind them wins,
they get booted out.
645
00:33:11,619 --> 00:33:14,122
[Marty]
Because Daytona is the birthplace
646
00:33:14,205 --> 00:33:17,125
and because there's
so much prestige and history
647
00:33:17,208 --> 00:33:21,295
that comes with winning there,
it feels different.
648
00:33:21,379 --> 00:33:24,465
[William] There's a lot of hype.
There's a lot going on.
649
00:33:24,549 --> 00:33:26,175
-This is intense.
-[Erin] It's Daytona.
650
00:33:26,259 --> 00:33:29,137
Yeah, right? I guess so.
651
00:33:29,220 --> 00:33:31,514
[Marty]
Think about what they're thinking about
652
00:33:31,597 --> 00:33:34,225
and how you can
compartmentalize that energy
653
00:33:34,308 --> 00:33:36,477
because they're all nerds.
654
00:33:36,561 --> 00:33:39,522
They can tell you they're not,
but they are.
655
00:33:39,605 --> 00:33:42,066
You know, going into the race,
656
00:33:42,150 --> 00:33:45,695
you have the opportunity
to get hurt or killed.
657
00:33:45,778 --> 00:33:48,573
They know that going in
and you do it anyway.
658
00:33:48,656 --> 00:33:51,034
Think about what a badass that is.
659
00:33:51,117 --> 00:33:56,581
[announcer]
Drivers, start your engines!
660
00:33:56,664 --> 00:34:00,334
[Marty] When you actually go to the event
and you're at the racetrack,
661
00:34:00,418 --> 00:34:02,795
the way it sounds, it is intoxicating.
662
00:34:05,631 --> 00:34:08,843
The way it smells is intoxicating.
663
00:34:08,926 --> 00:34:11,471
The people watching is intoxicating.
664
00:34:12,388 --> 00:34:16,809
The overall sensory
experience is overwhelming,
665
00:34:16,893 --> 00:34:18,853
and you suddenly get it.
666
00:34:18,936 --> 00:34:20,730
[Steve] Number of drivers out there
667
00:34:20,813 --> 00:34:23,316
with their only hope
to race for a championship
668
00:34:23,399 --> 00:34:25,193
is a win here tonight at Daytona.
669
00:34:25,276 --> 00:34:27,904
[crew member] Let's have
a good day, finish it off strong.
670
00:34:27,987 --> 00:34:30,114
[Bubba]
Hell, yeah, man. No prisoners.
671
00:34:30,198 --> 00:34:32,116
A race car at full song
672
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:35,328
is the most beautiful sound
you'll ever hear.
673
00:34:35,411 --> 00:34:37,413
[commentator]
Green flag's in the air.
674
00:34:37,497 --> 00:34:39,916
One spot available up for grabs.
675
00:34:57,308 --> 00:34:59,685
[Marty] It makes me laugh
when people feel like,
676
00:34:59,769 --> 00:35:02,980
"Oh, they're just going in circles."
But if you're a race car driver,
677
00:35:03,064 --> 00:35:05,817
first of all, you have to
be absolutely crazy as hell.
678
00:35:05,900 --> 00:35:08,778
All of them. They're lunatics.
They're different than us.
679
00:35:08,861 --> 00:35:11,447
[commentator] Hamlin and the Toyota
go to the whip
680
00:35:11,531 --> 00:35:14,033
and surge around that outside lane.
681
00:35:14,117 --> 00:35:16,702
[Marty] You have to be able
to relay real-time
682
00:35:16,786 --> 00:35:19,122
what your ass feels to the crew chief.
683
00:35:19,205 --> 00:35:21,124
[Denny] I'm getting
a little tight on the exit.
684
00:35:21,207 --> 00:35:23,376
[commentator] Denny Hamlin to the top
of the leaderboard.
685
00:35:23,459 --> 00:35:26,170
[Marty] So that he can tell
the crew what adjustment
686
00:35:26,254 --> 00:35:28,714
to make the next time
you come in on a pit stop.
687
00:35:28,798 --> 00:35:30,842
[man] Everything from that point on
was neutral
688
00:35:30,925 --> 00:35:33,010
on the middle lane
and tight on the bottom.
689
00:35:33,094 --> 00:35:35,972
Spinning around the 36,
will free up a little bit.
690
00:35:38,015 --> 00:35:40,685
[commentator] Denny Hamlin leads,
Ty Gibbs goes fourth,
691
00:35:40,768 --> 00:35:42,311
in front of Bubba Wallace, fifth.
692
00:35:42,395 --> 00:35:45,022
[Denny] What's the call here?
On strategy?
693
00:35:45,106 --> 00:35:46,482
[crew member] Four tires and fuel.
694
00:35:46,566 --> 00:35:49,443
[commentator 1] Everyone expects
to pit right here.
695
00:35:49,527 --> 00:35:52,488
[Marty]
They pit to fill up the car with gas.
696
00:35:52,572 --> 00:35:55,950
They pit to change the tires
so they have better grip.
697
00:35:57,285 --> 00:36:00,997
They pit to make adjustments
to the race car so it handles better.
698
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:04,500
[Steve] A good NASCAR pit stop
is 9.5 seconds
699
00:36:04,584 --> 00:36:08,129
for four tires
and about 14 gallons of gas.
700
00:36:08,212 --> 00:36:12,633
[Marty] If you're consistently losing
positions on pit road, no chance, man.
701
00:36:12,717 --> 00:36:14,468
These are world-class athletes now.
702
00:36:14,552 --> 00:36:16,762
These guys, they just missed the NFL.
703
00:36:17,638 --> 00:36:20,808
Saturday night under the line.
It's like playing at Clemson.
704
00:36:20,892 --> 00:36:23,686
[Marty] And even the slightest mistake
705
00:36:23,769 --> 00:36:27,690
costs you so much time
on the racetrack at full speed.
706
00:36:27,773 --> 00:36:30,234
[Chris]
Three, two, one.
707
00:36:30,318 --> 00:36:31,736
[commentator]
There is a penalty,
708
00:36:31,819 --> 00:36:35,615
Denny Hamlin's pit crew
was over the wall too soon.
709
00:36:35,698 --> 00:36:37,408
[crew member] Go, go, go.
710
00:36:37,491 --> 00:36:39,452
[crew member 1]
Over the wall too soon was
711
00:36:39,535 --> 00:36:40,953
what they got us for right there.
712
00:36:41,037 --> 00:36:42,622
[commentator]
Denny Hamlin a lap down.
713
00:36:42,705 --> 00:36:47,293
[commentator 1] Unbelievable, Denny is not
in a must-win situation,
714
00:36:47,376 --> 00:36:50,713
but maybe one of the best drivers
ever to strap in here at Daytona.
715
00:36:50,796 --> 00:36:55,426
But here comes Ty Gibbs
in the Toyota to the outside.
716
00:36:55,509 --> 00:36:57,386
[commentator 2]
Ty Gibbs will take the lead.
717
00:36:58,095 --> 00:37:01,307
[commentator 3] Ty Gibbs is 12 points
behind Bubba Wallace.
718
00:37:01,390 --> 00:37:03,893
Bubba Wallace
is all the way back at 21st.
719
00:37:05,686 --> 00:37:07,939
[commentator] This pack is virtually
sewn together.
720
00:37:08,022 --> 00:37:10,900
If someone sneezes,
the whole thing is gonna fly apart.
721
00:37:10,983 --> 00:37:13,736
[commentator 3] Oh, man, they're almost
wrecking right there.
722
00:37:13,819 --> 00:37:17,531
{\an8}[Denny] To win on a track like Daytona,
you have to survive first.
723
00:37:17,615 --> 00:37:21,244
{\an8}So my first instinct is when I see
guys bouncing off each other
724
00:37:21,327 --> 00:37:24,872
that a wreck is about to happen
and I'm about to be in the middle of it.
725
00:37:24,956 --> 00:37:27,458
I'm gonna bail. I'm gonna bail.
726
00:37:27,541 --> 00:37:30,086
[commentator] Denny's had enough.
He bailed completely out.
727
00:37:30,169 --> 00:37:31,379
Senses trouble.
728
00:37:31,462 --> 00:37:33,506
[commentator 1]
He's very proud of his Spidey sense.
729
00:37:33,589 --> 00:37:36,384
[commentator 2] Yep, he's reading the room
and he says, "imminent danger."
730
00:37:36,467 --> 00:37:39,178
[Denny] When I feel like
a wreck is about to happen,
731
00:37:39,262 --> 00:37:41,389
I get out of the hornet's nest.
732
00:37:41,472 --> 00:37:43,683
[Steve]
Side-by-side for the top lot...
733
00:37:43,766 --> 00:37:46,227
Trouble because Ty Gibbs
gets into Ryan Blaney.
734
00:37:46,310 --> 00:37:47,728
[crew member] Wrecking, wrecking.
735
00:37:48,396 --> 00:37:51,274
[commentator]
Blaney off the nose of Ty Gibbs,
736
00:37:51,357 --> 00:37:53,442
and the big one happens behind him.
737
00:37:53,526 --> 00:37:55,778
[commentator 1] It brought
so many people into it.
738
00:37:55,861 --> 00:37:57,697
Look at all these cars.
739
00:37:57,780 --> 00:38:00,700
[crew member 1]
Wreck. Middle, middle, middle.
740
00:38:03,494 --> 00:38:06,372
{\an8}[William]
I saw the 12 get hit and honestly for me,
741
00:38:06,455 --> 00:38:10,126
{\an8}I just tried to stay kind of straight
so I could make it through the wreck.
742
00:38:10,209 --> 00:38:13,004
Yeah, think I didn't
get any damage there.
743
00:38:13,087 --> 00:38:14,964
[crew member] I don't know
how we made it through.
744
00:38:15,047 --> 00:38:19,135
It was incredible, it was perfect.
That never happens for us.
745
00:38:20,261 --> 00:38:22,513
I haven't been on the positive end of that
746
00:38:22,596 --> 00:38:25,099
-too many times, that's for sure.
-No.
747
00:38:25,182 --> 00:38:26,267
[Bubba]
Is he okay?
748
00:38:26,350 --> 00:38:27,768
-[crew member] You okay?
-[Ty] Yeah.
749
00:38:28,728 --> 00:38:30,313
It fucking hurts!
750
00:38:30,396 --> 00:38:32,898
[reporter]
Unfortunately, Ty Gibbs will not make
751
00:38:32,982 --> 00:38:36,277
the NASCAR Cup Series Playoff.
His day is done early at Daytona.
752
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:37,778
[Ty] Motherfucker!
753
00:38:37,862 --> 00:38:39,405
[reporter 1]
What's your emotion?
754
00:38:39,488 --> 00:38:43,200
{\an8}I don't know. It just sucks.
Trying to rub it in?
755
00:38:43,284 --> 00:38:46,454
[commentator] Looks like Bubba Wallace
made it through the crash.
756
00:38:46,537 --> 00:38:49,665
[Bootie] Obviously there, Bubba,
the 54 was in the middle of that.
757
00:38:49,749 --> 00:38:52,293
A lot of 'em went all in,
and they ain't in the game no more.
758
00:38:52,376 --> 00:38:53,711
So that was a great job by you.
759
00:38:53,794 --> 00:38:55,755
[Bubba]
Just can't have a new winner.
760
00:38:55,838 --> 00:38:58,341
[Bootie] The only way you can get beat
is if somebody wins.
761
00:38:58,424 --> 00:38:59,842
They can't out-points you.
762
00:38:59,925 --> 00:39:03,304
[commentator] Quite a majestic sight.
We've got fireworks on the racetrack.
763
00:39:03,387 --> 00:39:05,556
We've got rockets going up
to Cape Canaveral.
764
00:39:05,639 --> 00:39:08,684
What more could we ask for here
at the world center of racing?
765
00:39:08,768 --> 00:39:11,145
[crew member] Back end of our pack
is racing each other here.
766
00:39:11,228 --> 00:39:13,606
[commentator 1] Bubba Wallace,
he's the only driver
767
00:39:13,689 --> 00:39:15,066
that can get in on points now.
768
00:39:15,149 --> 00:39:19,820
That is only if a new winner
doesn't happen tonight.
769
00:39:19,904 --> 00:39:22,740
[Bootie] We should have about 11 people
that can still win.
770
00:39:22,823 --> 00:39:24,700
That don't hurt us in the race.
771
00:39:24,784 --> 00:39:27,119
[commentator] Playoff berths are
on the line
772
00:39:27,203 --> 00:39:29,622
in the late laps here at Daytona.
773
00:39:29,705 --> 00:39:31,874
[crew member 1]
Five to go, five to go.
774
00:39:32,875 --> 00:39:34,251
[commentator]
Look out, trouble!
775
00:39:34,335 --> 00:39:35,753
One car is up and over.
776
00:39:35,836 --> 00:39:37,963
Barrel rolling down
the back straightaway.
777
00:39:38,047 --> 00:39:40,800
It is Ryan Preece end over end.
778
00:39:40,883 --> 00:39:43,010
[commentator 1]
Oh, no. Oh, my God.
779
00:39:43,094 --> 00:39:45,638
-[commentator 2] Is he okay? Shit.
-[commentator 1] Oh, my God.
780
00:39:46,055 --> 00:39:48,099
-[commentator 2] Who is that?
-[commentator 1] Preece.
781
00:39:48,516 --> 00:39:51,977
[Denny]
Damn! What a fucking wreck! Wow.
782
00:39:52,061 --> 00:39:55,022
Holy shit, I've never seen a car
get that much air before.
783
00:39:55,106 --> 00:39:57,024
These cars,
they get turned sideways,
784
00:39:57,108 --> 00:40:00,194
cross over into grass
where air is getting through.
785
00:40:00,277 --> 00:40:03,697
It picks it up, treats it
like a parachute and flips it over.
786
00:40:03,781 --> 00:40:05,908
[woman] It's on fire, it's on fire too.
787
00:40:06,492 --> 00:40:08,744
-[man] Oh, my God, get out, dude.
-[woman] He's upside down.
788
00:40:08,828 --> 00:40:12,665
Yeah, 41 took a hell of a tumble.
He's upside down and on fire.
789
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:14,208
[Bubba]
Is he all right?
790
00:40:17,044 --> 00:40:19,255
[Denny]
Golly, did he get out?
791
00:40:19,338 --> 00:40:22,383
[Chris] Yeah, he's too fucking tough
to do anything but...
792
00:40:22,466 --> 00:40:24,260
but God, I don't know how.
793
00:40:24,844 --> 00:40:27,388
[commentator]
Time to put 'em back under the green flag.
794
00:40:27,471 --> 00:40:30,224
[commentator 1]
Five miles to the playoffs for somebody.
795
00:40:30,307 --> 00:40:33,352
[Bubba] Just gotta play our cards right
and see what happens.
796
00:40:33,436 --> 00:40:37,148
[commentator] Bubba Wallace,
he is landlocked outside of the top ten.
797
00:40:37,231 --> 00:40:39,859
He has got nowhere to go.
He is stuck in 12th.
798
00:40:42,403 --> 00:40:46,157
How hard is Bubba Wallace
rooting for Chris Buescher right now?
799
00:40:46,240 --> 00:40:48,409
[commentator 2]
Chris Buescher leads off turn two.
800
00:40:48,492 --> 00:40:50,286
[commentator 1]
If Buescher hangs onto the lead,
801
00:40:50,369 --> 00:40:52,830
Bubba makes the cut
for his first playoffs.
802
00:40:52,913 --> 00:40:56,750
[commentator] Checkered flag is in the air
and Chris Buescher is going to win.
803
00:40:56,834 --> 00:40:59,336
[commentator 1] And with that,
Bubba Wallace is locked into
804
00:40:59,420 --> 00:41:01,130
-the playoffs on points.
