MRN Motorsports Monday - March 20

I urged the right. Are. It's immoral and most sports Monday deep plains but the latest news and allows the opinions direct from the guys at the track. Presented by outback steak now. This program is rated begin to guess again in May contain scenes of verbal nonsense and graphics and and again viewer discretion is advised our survival. Today's episode is brought to you by Hercules fire. Here's what he'd gain ever. And Julie Meyer probably got. A broader. Herb Pope Paul buck up. Motor sports Monday is back and it was a happy last day of winter in Phoenix 9596. Degrees. Ryan Newman breaks a 77 race winless streak of 112 race winless streak Richard Childress racing. Stays out crew chief Luke Lambert says the the last caution. Don't come and get those tires we know it's going to be a best of the finished see if you can hang on he did Ryan Newman gets the win kudos to that team for playing some strategy and get that win anyway they care. Thanks for joining us here on Monday afternoon's verbal nonsense addition of motor sports Monica. Don't forget graphic shenanigans get graphic shenanigans and now they get to turn in those sets of tires and it's all about saving money right yeah that's why they just want to save those tired really. And I think they were pro rated at the budgetary is exactly right around the budgetary thing that Richard Childress that would try to save some money. Get them tires don't use them and stay out and see what happens. I don't know if you heard about him post race because you were do are busy doing your own thing but he had a little quiver in his voice there when he talked to Ryan Newman on the radio on the cooldown lap and it was great to see understandably so a lot of emotion there and a 112 races since they've been to Victory Lane one of the storied teams in all of NASCAR history. It two races this weekend had that energy to it with just an all harboring on the victory for junior motorsports. After an eighty race drought and then Ryan Newman gets that big cardboard check into it don't know Jack Geller deposit this big center and about half. 300000 dollars us and then Ryan Newman's able to bring home a victory for Richard Childress racing after three or four year drought. Of those guys very emotional wins in both series at Phoenix international raceway with. Higher than normal temperatures we were in the mid ninety's. But again but it also dry heat right no Ellis South Florida guy was born and raised I don't mind that you're most of the humidity with a yes and and actually without the humidity too it was it wasn't bad but it creates a very warm racing surface guys are slipping and sliding around. Those Goodyear Eagles did last just good enough for two laps for Ryan Newman bring on the victory unless the brakes got too hot in the melted the beat we saw a little bit of that during the race as well but here's what Ryan Newman had to say after when. At Phoenix I can a team effort. I think Granger and caterpillar Chevrolet and critical there but it makes us practicing around a circle enough. Itself is very special. Was my wife and kids are here but just that (%expletive) him up faced. How difficult is it is a race car driver when you go through such a drought not a winning a race to to finally keep your keep your optimism up and keep your head about it. Just wonder you can do it again and it's you don't doubt yourself but Manny is getting tougher and tougher. This is this is a big day for us for the points chase everything that's a lot for our sponsors and means by morning. Ryan Newman he's been winning driver Luke Lambert the crew chief Luke. Describe that called the decision to stay out there in the last caution. Well you know we had a a great Granger Chevrolet all day which is more rugged taken off on cold air and now cold tires for whatever reason are set a dissimilar like fresh start so. Made a pretty simple call from my standpoint happier we roll the dice on it'll attract distancing Latin round of wheels off the to bring home. Cool to see our here Luke Lambert you're describing what happened first career win for him as a crew chief and now. What all kinds of emotion in Victory Lane as you mentioned at some point in time when we talk about rolling the dice if you're running around tenth eleventh and twelfth. And the race comes down to a 23 lap caution. There's nothing to gain by putting on four could tires because the guy in front of you putting on for Goodyear tires and so all you're doing his race in the same people around you with newer tires gas so boom you roll the dice you stay out on old tires you're running tenth eleventh twelfth and and now you're gonna start up front. The diversity let's say yeah let's just you have nothing else to lose and and obviously if you get my baby you've been doing all they you're gonna stay in the same spot you've been out it's the definition of insanity right eggs I do we save them all as I'm expecting different results that's exactly what those guys dealt with. They rolled the dice they had a good enough car to do it. And that's key. We've seen some guys stay out in the past with car is not good enough to do it and they end up causing Havoc amongst the top five or six enough finishing anywhere in the top ten. But Ryan Newman had the cargo and enough Chris Lambert made the decision. Luke Lambert Chris Weber to outer gap in Atlanta reliever yet moved Luke Webber made the decision Ryan Newman got up on the wheel. Held off a hard charging crowd with tires now you log some guys some ten to them yet some guys took to some guys took four deeper I was able to have a 127. Races have been to victory land it in the. Open now really good to see and we've had a lot of drama over the first few weeks of the season for sure. Big show coming up for you one motor sports Monday we have Ryan read news off to a great start at Roush Fenway racing in the Infiniti series. We'll talk with him about the Ron at Phoenix the dash for cash raced there as well and his strong start will also hear a little bit from Kyle Larson who is the new point leader. Three second place finishes how about that that's that the odds of that are astronomical that's almost a part of three straight wins to do that yes yes absolutely so we've got that a little on drug off track action we're taking a look back at Phoenix and will peek ahead at auto club speedway as we continue on motor sports Monday.

Did Ryan. Until that just doesn't go to Victory Lane. As a front a lot of dollars and nobody trying to. I know we're this close again but doesn't have enough time in the front when for the fine. Final time and again aren't out for number four not close enough along I felt Land Rover. Until the great thing Ryan Newman pulled that off he'll win the Camping World 500. That's the way of sound and on the motor racing network from Phoenix yesterday the Camping World 500 Ryan Newman gets the big victory and hey. We're sponsored by Outback Steakhouse here on motor sports Monday and since Kevin Harvick got a sixth place finish out there. That means bloom and Monday go by with any purchase or get a free bloom and onions free hand free free and be free stuff. Check out that stud Joseph Wii menu which Joey Meyer thinks is for him but it's not it's really for kids. So I've checked that out right now they got great lunch specials as well but it is bloom and Monday because of Kevin Harvick. Sixth place finish at Outback Steakhouse looking at the points you see not only did he finished second in points there in the race in my third time runner Royce finished second. Now he's the points leader we're gonna hear from Kyle Larson at depth of the race. Thought I was clear the seventeen and my spotter said clear for your quick second and I think. He maybe Joseph Miller hard and I anticipated and I had turned down and you is there and I got sideways and it killed our run off to you and allow the thirty wanna get out there isn't it weighs in at sidestep it catch him by his. Not better and I was there I guess that have lost much ground off turn two big gain enough so. This one sucks that. Yet still get it finished second. Believe we are the plane later so that's that's awesome Gaza. Gold mining and ended today. Man to come out when there's critical. So how large and about that now let's talk second play. He's right they're knocking on the adore me as you know I think it's going to be one of those deals we're. Like the champagne is on court once he gets another win. He's gonna start getting a bunch we'll see Ryan Blaine will see chased LET Kyle Larson victory in 2017. With the performance they've shown the patience they've shown the maturity. As such a young age early on in the season all while three drivers chase led a number elapsed colors was up front. Ryan Blaine ran really good yesterday until it appeared road speeding penalty you could fix those things very easily the performance of all three of those teams should allow those guys get to Victory Lane. Throughout this year. Kyle Larson leads the standings by six over Brad Kozlowski you guys had a little post race problem as we're doing the show we don't know the outcome of that yet but. That it's early in the season but that could be in flux as well yet very unusual situation for the two car ice personally don't have an idea what happened yet another crew chief was rather not to happy rather. Rather happy that. It's a way it was a happier with the not the great thing about live shows guys I have so he was not happy at all he was very upset at the post. Inspection. Fault that was found by NASCAR and at the time I will have a meeting later on try to diagnose exactly where the failure was and that. We should hear more on that through the week as we continue we're getting set they had to auto club speedway of Southern California celebrating their what about that coming when he years and it's literally one of the widest facilities we go to. Based on a track of Michigan international raceway it hasn't been repaid in 1015 years we raced from the apron analyzing the April we have grass. Two feet from the inside of our car all of into the wall like Darlington is one of the widest racing services. We've got a camera down and turn one speed radar trap that displays the speeds. Well over adamant and well over 210 miles an hour entering turn one to like it. Unbelievable. When they think and believe me you know believe you have got it there really is if you know I think that they put on the side of the road is pretty accurate after all yes that's how you get busted for speeding up don't forget NASCAR alive Mike Bagley will have that 7 o'clock on Tuesday night Ryan Newman will be among the guests on that show. And then we will move on auto club speedway Saturday extended the series from auto close BUS starts at 330 Saturday afternoon in Fontana and on Sunday. We'll have the the monster energy NASCAR cup series race starting at 230 on Sunday from auto club speedway now. Let's shift to on track off track 'cause we both have a couple of things we wanted to talk about they're for me a wanna start with on track let's start on the positive side something that I think the afternoon and one of those is the late race drama yesterday we saw Kyle Busch walking away 22 lead suddenly. The B melts on the 22 guard Joseph really Donna is on the wall we have a caution and everything's all mixed up again Ryan Newman wins. The week before that we had the issue as well with the late race situation the week before that at Atlanta. We had a late race situation where Kevin Harvick was dominating we have all kinds of drama late in these races and I think it's compelling it makes people. Watch yeah without a doubt this is the reason why their races or retire when I got the fight to go. Why would fight that never we have to we have to race the entire race and why we talk about 400 miles or 500 miles always such a long race. If yesterday's race is shortened life twenty miles we will see the end of the race playing out the way it really did. And this these are still endurance races are not sprints. They're marathons we have to run all 312. Laps. If that would have been at 300 lap race. Kyle bush walks away a winner Ryan Newman doesn't end this thing and Joel a got our doesn't wreck those all three of those things we have to run 312 to see it happen. But you have to stay at the end of the race to see the outcome. However you mentioning bill belief of those races and having to be there at the end the stage racing itself has been reduced to a whole new ball game because. You don't have the opportunity to get points for leading a lap for the most laps. Gods are now charging after these points you're seeing it more and more each week that they can get after the end of the stages the top ten guys get points stage racing its. Do you mention that because because that's my off track OK I love the state they love the great I love this schedule. Cautions that we all get the plan on and strategize over the strategic three of the crew chiefs and the driver. Elf like. Where today what I don't like my little off track has to do with the amount of time we have even under caution. Once the stage green checker is waved to we get back to green flag racing. The first stage yesterday was 75 laps we do a green flag we threw agreeing checker it was 75 laps. But then our second stage was supposed to be 75. We only ran 66 laps of that by the time we went green because the caution light because of their caution laps in the interviewing. We just need to get better at and think NASCAR might be working on it and we are there already compressed that time a little longer or better job of doing it so that weeks we have more stage racing we don't burn laps under caution because of the state. I agree with the I think though that that that will be tweaked as we go along I think the idea was to create a quarter break environment like you might see at a basketball game or a football game. I do it does go a little bit too long and I'm sure they're monitoring the animal adjusted as we go want. The racing to get to that point while I agree with you is has been very good so far and I hope that the length of time it's taking to get back to racing will be out tweaked as we go. Without a outstanding on the roof spotting yesterday for the race as we get closer we count down which I do for Brad 1098. Laps to the stage five laps this stage. You start ramping up a little bit the excitement level going towards agreeing checker is there. We didn't have that in the past and as we're looking forward absolutely we've still got a lot more to come here on motor sports Monday next. Breyer agreed joins us driving at Roush Fenway he is doing very well in the standings so Puerto start this season will recap the Phoenix dash for cash raced with him. We'll hear from just an all who won that and we'll talk a little bit more about auto club speedway it's all ahead on motor sports Monday. Noticed him on the army and this the last eight. All things you. And boom. Anyway he's our job. Oh yeah. In order to maximize the vehicle's performance and efficiency the proper adjustments need to be made based on the road ahead. That's true for both race car drivers on the track and for truck drivers hauling freight on the highway. But if you were trucks equipped with the Detroit DT twelve automated manual transmission with intelligent power train management adjustments are made automatically based on GPS during that. Maximizing performance and efficiency. Don't just want better business solutions demand that we're more demand Detroit. Dot com. We're will UV when NASCAR comes to Chicago's fastest loop four days of racing. The music come to Chicago Atlanta speedway September 14 for the seventeenth. Tickets for Sunday Chicago land 400 are available now camping spots are available and selling fast ball kids tickets like five dollars off the gold price and free on certain race to get your tickets and things like now the Chicago. It's being played dot com Chicago land speed way we'll monster energy NASCAR cup series playoff start here. White flag fifth and are dire different. Here comes just volatile lining that long line through turns one and feel like me. It's been a long Fries Belfort gossip all dire but did say he finds it always was and the other. He wins a PC. Hundred and capture of 100000 dollar NASCAR accidentally buried expert cash bonus at Phoenix. Second time just at all Dyer has gotten that big cardboard check for winning a dash for cash program however just ahead of him in the standings now. Is the driver the joins us on the gas line Ryan Reid drives the number sixteen Lilly diabetes Ford Mustang at Roush Fenway. Ryan strong start this season and eleventh place run at Phoenix but. As a whole you guys both on the extended the end and cup side at Roush Fenway. Have been running markedly better this year I'm wondering what you saw in the off season and early part of this season. That you can attribute that. Yeah I mean I think you know. Back in January and early on in February when I heard it on the creek is the media and you know I was. I was really excited and not a liberal on this and I think that we have dumped it to come mountain. You know I really have a choppy and I'm speed week it on end and you know when you know we've we've been really did you do it that. There I checked we do you know every year and I nearly went to shut down a bit even you know get into that they get into the Atlanta they get there and obviously Phoenix. You know all lit tracked. You know I think though the one you really look at. They can benchmark where you where your rat. At the organization and I think we've come out we've shown that we may progress and I think that we don't have a little to work if I'm not think that that's or word literally connected. You know we're bringing fit the template trait Paris you know I didn't and I think that I can do a little better job here and there. You know who wanna go on when mare this year. And if we didn't if we can just I'm a little bit more then we're going to be we're gonna knock on the door every week in and not just are not one limited time. Are we talking about a UN that does the year and we knew even championship. Ryan we're four races in you're coming off for Phoenix but journey have a race went from Daytona. One of the stats that we looked at earlier that really came out is lead lap finishes for 2017. Whether you're aware of or not. He had to go six races last year finished on the lead lap and now all four races are on the lead lap here in 2017. So now you ever race when we start looking towards the playoffs already even this early in the season and one of the unique things we have in 2017 of the stage races. How do you as a driver see the stage race is playing out for yourself. I mean I think obviously if you have a pure position where geared your load and are you know I knew you know you need it you didn't get up early on the U. That help you know. It's now your answer or just you know get negated Erica thanks that help in think that they the age is defeated and obviously it's huge. You shelled and you know I think. For you know fortunately it came out of the box that pretty good race car that we you know been right in either inside or writer on the top and then. You know we haven't really had to worry about they believe that you know it. There's been there's been a lot of things that are a lot better this year than than compared to what do you know we we did in the top do we if qualified in the last round of a qualifying. Every week this year you know I've been a part of though that the you know I'm over whatever it all on which you know I mean throughout you know it was like one every they're fully that you did that a couple getting a lot of it all on. We just had more speedy Ari curtain and I definitely. Like Phoenix but they cannot walk went out that the wanted you know I mean we finished eleventh. What you know and you're at a holiday at Brooke actually got traded. He says he's not like we were up and even we throw a little bit the other day and he couldn't buy on the down on it he. You know all mean oh my god you know we do know that well what we're capable of doing and you know we we have a thing but I talked and that's not at all we we did make it in a commentary in there Richard B that we. And so and obviously want to migrate to the top and they are very minimum and that but that do we think we should do it every week. Tony or Brian reader drives a Lilly diabetes Ford Mustang at Roush Fenway racing he's third in the standings just 23 out of the top spot in the NASCAR affinity series. And Ryan join mentioned that the stage racing there how did this dash for cash race at Phoenix war with having. Essentially the stages beat the heat from last year because the seem like a lot of guys like that and had something to compete for rather than just trying to protect their cars. Yes it is it would definitely. You know thought Mitt. I'm really cool bit Kennedy. Kennedy put opera and a lot of the EP or. And I think today. The debt surpassing those incitement and really tee. And they just continue to find obviously has a format that changed and as as NASCAR's you know. Of all throughout the year that it Aaron. New creative way it can either it to evolve the debt surpassed I get up and unfortunately needed to have a little better day that could be in contention that surpassed. You know it out Aaron those guys. We're really really strong. You know little bittersweet putted really cool and also will pretty dumb down the Middle East for the part of it. You. Ryan one of the unique relationships we have been racing that the team sport still gold your crew chief Mike Herman your spotter Jack Rauscher team owner. Afforded your manufactured one of the interesting things behind the scenes is your sponsoring your relationship we your sponsor to Lilly diabetes. When you came into the sport you're one of the rare opportunities as a driver to compete. At a very high level with diabetes. How have you seen the technology. With diabetes treatment with yourself is it the same as it was when you first got involved law or is you've been able to advance that as you move forward. I absolutely adamant that live all you know I mean it. As much as you see NASCAR hauler collapsed or by the year diabetes management involved. That the machine and it's it's been incredible. Just in and out of town and a diabetes. But it's been even more incredible. If I go back in and give my resurgence and look backward diabetes and reluctant fifteen years ago twenty years to get. Clear the I wouldn't be a pro Indian or are so you know just brilliant I think bolster. You know Alter although. Work and put into. Continued through deputy management people like my belt that you know don't don't want solidarity. Dictate what to do at their lives. Can go out and end it there during those days. Then it's an incredible that the watched. Obviously I would I would like this Havoc here that I had and dark and opening orbit. So then you know there's lot of people out there working really hard that. Did you have heard a lot though irk you look at those two. Do a little to do these. It's fantastic to see the working guys have done together and it just to increase awareness if nothing else. Run the sixteen bunch off to a solid start third in the standings now you have to auto club speedway this weekend another worn out racing surface there. Very high speeds what can we expect this coming weekend from the Infiniti series guys. It does it if it's not popular target on their trek ahead probably the Boettcher at an ad earlier was that on Diana. Well here and you know I think you. You know justice attracted. I voted like you do in taking Q and our other we have that doing other want the amount outlet of the back to back up that comment that. And we we had a tough are a lot here in I traveled that road he and a to produce a little bit but. I think that just a phenomenal race track and hopefully there's no replay of and in that check future and a nine inning is that it is amazing. But it's also really cool that the pumpkin ridge from me I grew up in a Bakersfield California. Only a couple of hours from there and great at Irwindale speedway there. Right right near there for years and years on. There's it's at such a fun racetrack Q3 wide. You know it at seven tapping into that at there and and then you're off the managing. Higher than and you can run the bottom. All the way you know are on the board the but the top of the fence. I think it's one of the military check to get cute and you're going to be on the mail that should do low downforce package. Then to have this political deal where you can hear your mile per hour in maternal line. It is cool led them he's been here when children are the dollar amount we don't know how that's gone. And a little bit of mine game gonna turn on your life guy won ninety something and he's he creek and up toward duke honored. They got to kind of food on the tapped it in ninety out of that you know about that you're you're really gonna play it. Man fantastic and is cool to see to it will make you do a double take even if you're just standing in the garage and see that thing. Lined up out there were Ryan congratulations on a strong start of the season. A lot of good things coming together all at once for you when your team and it's great to see in the Puerto catching up with the auto auto club speedway this weekend. They can look terrific amount. I'm a good job there you go Ryan Reid driver of the number sixteen Lilly diabetes for busting at Roush Fenway racing they really haven't going on right now kind of quietly climbed in the way out lead lap finishes can't be understated or overstated I should say because three of those races you've had top competitors with the X dating guys having cup guys against them with cup teams in cup drivers. Bracket last did you really gone up Kyle bush to name a fugue how Larson anymore and we keep going. The league finish on the lead lap for those first three and then have a good finish at Phoenix. Those are strong indicators are Roush Fenway racing it's down performance but they've been lacking in the past absolutely they have and showing up in the numbers. Particularly right now and that's the best place for to show for them. All right we're gonna take another break here a motor sports Monday but as we go we talk with Ryan Reid but just an all dire with the driver who won the big check the dash for cash money at Phoenix. Yeah every time we had a restart you know I was I was bummed on the flip side how I knew we had a really good short and car so I wasn't super disappointed because I knew our car was gonna gonna fire off strong. It ideologies on the trust and spotter. Trust and when I knew and brought there in in Lillehammer Syria and hope it is hoped that that we came out on the end and others successfully do that today. He sinks due to its Vinny Friday for sport and to win the dash for cash to be eligible not a governing in boxing and we got three more went. We're going to be on the street now I think is this team is his fired off the last two weeks with with incredible race cars and I just can't wait to get to us out when actually. Notice it economic.
