Ed Clark should be very very happy we'll talk about the scope reasonable that yes so much talked about there but first we want talk a little bit about the extent eighty race from Saturday and bring in our special guest today. He is the driver at number seven branch Chevrolet he is just an old guy or just an hour you this morning. I'm guess I'm not quite that do exist running the show us a little bit today I think. Yeah yeah I mean it's terrible I would be you know the you know it up a good you know we we had a for a couple weeks as Italy. That they kick off between seventeen eaten much. Glad we're back great outing got as probably the best part in a lot and appropriate as they are not a truck series airs Saturday night watching. What I can see our race. I am excited already used edited and Emma and court amid next few weeks. Yes Jesse talk about your disappointment yesterday I think did the biggest disappointment had to be for you you don't even know what kind of car you have because it was. It was lap three when you have to try to avoid Austin Dillon spending got into the wall and here. Your day was long after that how frustrating was that to know you never even really got a chance to get started. Well I think that that probably the most frustrating part of it is our teammates Ali Maher analyst at well at. Prairie park on Saturday. And pretty much easier to you well on average. That we would at least into more clothes right and India's knowing where their car threat and that applies now that some. You don't get to go to lab very did not hit anything more after that it didn't. Is really. It's really about because you looked at how fast we we made it art even image that it button. You know I ego can't. What could have been right but at the end of the day that we're or thought. And you 5 o'clock. Crashed every act amendment we probably could have. I actually screwed up. How misunderstood Earl little bit and so we beat you like it changes dot net that we need to get down on a lot of caution. Thought they look at you hit it well we know we learned a lot. Over the course today and we're we're in good shape pretty well we're. Just disappointed router out for. Me in my out knowing that you really are not breaking anything or anybody. Justin you've had two races and unfortunately talk about 230 place finishes but both races presented your team an opportunity to deal. With a couple of new rules we've had the stage rules as well as being able affixed to carve their road what are the adjustments you've had to make in these two racist a couple of think. With those five minute rules and the stages. Well this he did you know Daytona Talladega are attribute of the biggest challenge that you are ready. I think it's only image yet more amp up that we learn what what on how these ages are working. You know what we're seeing right now I'd be aggression and let. Me. That Matt bush people are are are now. About portraying. It is pretty incredible comes Egypt are our crashed eight twenty. For eight up thirty Ike is an idea where where things read their. You know it in Atlanta what kind of similar you know especially the cut rates that you guys at Google market strategy. It was that was playing out for the best aided covenant action. Yes I did a lot of luck at your happened to learn and understand okay. What what's best for hacker made a point guard need the tires Ernie fueled the art you know we're order relative position myself who are married to her out. In that that's probably. Mormons to for a sneak in Egypt we got a lot of rookies this year got a lot of guys. With less experience and so you're trying to you anticipate what they're gonna you're how to generation next that's probably the hardest are now until you build that. Catalog database of who doesn't like how they do it you know kind of giving an idea where everybody grabbed. And when it comes viewed it crashed image unfortunately we. We had to do it about this age are not up contest I got that got. If we had eight years I'm not sure that we get access to our. At every track that was. It's disappointing but in an Atlanta. You know one of the things that that I I've misunderstood. Wives. You know we crashed in any got our pick up my act out of every minute must be. I'd thought that the clock automatically reset it week in May not eroded at work again. And what it once you crashing you've reached him speak in your pockets. It is okay right so why do you want you. Earned our minutes are up in office he crashed yet ask Robert. But I'd sell my crew behind eight ball because. I didn't want you. Overload apartment o'clock I think it's eat you're gonna make an economic back out we got a rule we don't want ago. It was too late but make it cheap we needed to make it and they are which. You ultimately we ended up happen at very early on he brought great art art art image and so. And we. We not only did we have an issue with the car and our our our pit.

Extracted as one final shot to do it will not be able to checkered flag is not Christopher bell wins at Atlanta. Welcome back to motor sports Monday curtain backer buddy long and Mike Bagley on the call. Saturday night with the truck series race at Atlanta Christopher bell winning stage one. Winning stage tomb. And winning the race that's a clean sweep right there and that's also the trivia answer for the first question of who was the first driver to win all three stages in the race wins that Chris for bill kudos to you how many people think and that at the beginning of the season no nobody probably Kyle Busch got out early on Kyle Busch was the answer to every question yes. Don't think that's got going in and he he came to his own fate with a little bit of another tires you you have a don't but don't feel too bad our Kyle Busch gets he went on to lead win the race late in the X for any race in Atlanta. And then you guys Brad Kozlowski join Meyer going to Victory Lane in the cup race so I mean in the spirit of an Oprah Show. You know you're a winner Euro winner you're a winner. You out there are a winner Erika is at the blue men Monday Kevin Harvick happy Harvick with a top ten. In the ATL that means free bloom and onions we know Outback Steakhouse celebrate his twentieth time. Leading the most laps yes and not coming home to Victory Lane which is still get a free blooming and I know you're watching that orders number two carbon you see where Harvick ended up ninth. He restart to fourteenth might not just fourteenth. He was at the tail end of a lot he had to look past twenty cars to get tonight minimal time very very fast car the top three speed cars war before. Harvick the point portrays so it. And Brad Kozlowski in the number two and ended up working up here we are victory and speaking of Kaz while you're making your way from the roof and wanna find out how long that took in the second while you're making your way down Fred talked to everybody Victory Lane. A lot of adversity to David you just had a fast car how re able to keep bouncing back all afternoon. I just stayed on top of its and we're back to fourteenth and it was seven ego and a knew that wasn't going to be easy but you know basic complaint body go to work and want to working got everything we can get there. Gosh it adverse Gambino overcome a two way and makes it that much cooler and hours later. And now final battle Kyle Larson was incredible tell me about that I have Cairo's actor race car driver and opportunities have opened up I think our cars just to live there and Hammond. As it would take advantage of find Elaine in my car work to an end and give time now we go in the western swing where you guys have been good in the past tell me about headed out here a lot of good tracks. Yes she we love the West Coast it's been really good test what the Atlanta Phoenix probably won and lost face slash everyone at California reform last self. Over the weekend not pick up another one of their ability or enemy having just one when the season. So when new nickname for woody he's now mr. everybody at that day spoke to ever everybody he spoke to everybody but the world as we know it is upside down because Kyle Larson. Who is now a notoriously running against the wall is running on the bottom. Brad Kozlowski who is notoriously mr. catfish bottom feeder was passing him on the highlights of the world as we noted upside down in Atlanta Motor Speedway but that's what that place offered by the the paving job they have is Joey did you guys talk about that at all on the radio about lanes on that on that restart with Kyle Larson because from a television side. Both Jeff Gordon and Darrell Waltrip were amazed. Knowing how that race and run where the bottom really was the only place you can get a grip unless you had a really good run on somebody that how would go hide our cal said a race with Brad a lot. I know he's good up high I needed to go up there Brad went did you guys talk at all about where to go or was that bread just make it happen now that was browse on Brad right there we we were towards the end of the race we run enough laps he knew where he was fast I do give him lap times throughout the event. So he knew when he went up there he had speedy knew he had speed on the bottom for a number of laps but realistically on that restart the bottom lane is the place to be you can get a good run on the bottom. If you're on the outside Lanny you can clear the guy you wanna get up as high as you can slows your few options. But that middle lane really get stagnant on the front and it bottles up going into one of the few clear and get around that either on the bomber confident. Gives you a good set sail off return to you know joy at some point in time I'm gonna believe in your team. Because it seems like anytime you have adversity if I don't even think I write you off every time but if there's one team in that garage area. That seems to be able to not panic. Stay with the planning get back in the race it sure guys is that is that something that's it's Brad it's Paul is that a combination or is it. It is it from the captain Roger Penske on down because even Joey steam it seems like it time a Joel O'Donnell's team. There seems to be a pesky thing that you just never quit. Well the definitely starts at the top the calmness the level that Roger Penske gives us and then Paul exudes from beyond it and Brad not being available on the radio. And even maybe a small portion of myself being very common the radio with Brad Paul I believe it ought contribute to never forgetting. What's your goal isn't reaching for your always reaching for you're not trying to where about what's behind you we did have a tire issue early on it caught us off sequence we had to pit early. And ironically 567 laps later a lot of other guys caught on to it and we cycle back around to be in the leader ten seconds at a Kevin Harvick he was able to run us down but it was really off sequence pitting. That allowed us to get back on the train. And and caught back up to fifth or sixth there under the stage. And then be had to battle back from a crew member. Being honest enough and thing I didn't get the lug nuts tight yeah immediately after pit stops they go back behind watch video they razor anyway we have a problem. So we want penalized which was a small benefit because all the wave around were able to line up behind us we were at the tail end of the longest line. And and with Paul called Brad down pit road but the log is back on the left retiring was it would come back and for a. It won this year team that had some problems during the race we saw three Chevrolet teams with either an alternate or battery problem McMurray I think changed twice. Then you had the 31 in Newman go behind the wall and then what happened with Austin Dillon at the end of that set up the final why do you think we're starting to see this is this. Is this people trying some different things I mean there was talk about the Arce our cars. Maybe not their battery somewhere different the changed. The center of gravity but what do you think we're seeing we thought it'd Daytona to a little bit you know whenever we're trying to move forward sometimes we take step back in and Birtley electronically if we can find an all near that produces a little more power or maybe has a little less slowed we're gonna try and it is the second race of the year but we also saw numerous speeding penalty up thirteen. With eleven different drivers. Guys are always trying to push the envelope when asked what we're doing is racers if Mike and below can be pushed a little bit further than yours I'm gonna beat you. But by pushing and pushing eventually my envelope pops and then you are with your nice holiday envelope when you win the racism were always pushing on the envelopes and that's exactly with the injuries in your doing I had some people reach out to be why don't they have a speedometer now if you're going to additional that's why not have a speedometer that comes on pit road would it make a different you know the RPM gauge is actually more accurate because it's a direct connection from the engine to the transmission to their rear end. To the rear tires there's no if ands or buts it actually read they more sensitive device a more precise amount of information. When we're reading single digit revolutions per minute. We can actually measure speed intense of a mile an hour inside the race car you can't do that in your in your street car we just dollars just people push and that you got to push at the slopes and so so competitive us up and asks question we find that's. This is what you get a motor sports Monday intro piece and hard work yeah show off all right let's take another break we come back on track off tracks when my favorite segments that's coming up next a motor sports Monday. Hello this trend on the money in the last eight. I only thank you. And boom. It ruins our job. Oh. You're Smart.

Others also feel now back in Lawrence Otis Moss Monday. By the way Austin that was crew chief slugger Levy joined us in the Booth for the truck series race from Atlanta and he'll join. Mean pig crews on Wednesday on MR group called C wanna stay tuned for that it's now time. For at least my favorite segment when I'm watching the show it's on track off track. Here on motor sports Monday presented by Outback Steakhouse and we're gonna start with a guy who brought the toys today. Joey Meyer on track off track what do you have for on today on today is the simple fantastic race. Atlanta Motor Speedway puts on. Because of the aged pavement. We've heard a lot of hoopla and everybody talk about generating re paving Atlanta to try to fix some problems we'll talk about an off tracks that they junior for a couple minutes or right now Atlanta. California are the two tracks or come to mind with that age paving. Produces all the way from the bottom all the top racing. A lot of the drivers are clamoring not to re pave Atlanta including truck series champion Mac Kraft and here's what he had to say. I am we are rare yet that wouldn't say we just are quite as is when he was in the second run we just got off and we felt lost lot of caps that aren't there. And papered had a great great job and it. If anybody is listen to us Atlanta Motor Speedway please don't repay this place. And that's a sentiment joined by over fifty drivers in the garage between the countries truck series extending a series. Don't repay gave Atlanta yet I think Marcus Smith the president of Speedway Motorsports came out and said maybe we knew need to wait on this my on track has to do with two drivers age. Craig Kozlowski and that entire Penske team Penske team for not giving up I continue to write you guys off. And you always find a way to win by other one Kevin Harvick for owning up. For making mistake in saying I didn't live up to what I preach David which is let's not lose and on pit road. He's constantly on his guys about screwing up on their road. Yesterday he said that one's on me I messed up. I think that's gonna give him a better understanding now of how to win is a team and that'll only make that team better now as far as my off track Joey. It's angry NASCAR. So yesterday I'm monitoring social media and in any time somebody has an issue with our app or our website that they emails come to me. And I'm looking at around and people would say things like this. Your app is the worst app ever it's never ever works. Or we don't have the race when it and then I tellem we didn't have the race that week you know we'll get it back if being all your apps the best. Was the worst thing ever the Basque. They said the same thing about the racing I had people emailing it's going who's the worst Atlanta race ever. You guys have ruined it with the stages we being NASCAR like I controlled the rules it but the worst race ever. Joey that was every Atlanta race ever going back to the original oval configuration. If you're a true fan of NASCAR you've been watching forever. Every Atlanta races the same. It's strung out but the drivers are slipping and sliding so there's fun stuff to watch out on the racetrack then they're gonna bunch up late for caution and having fantastic finish that's. Every race every there but the fans just wanna be angry it's almost like if they were to complain about another sport like. There should only be two downs of football you're ruining it. Which nobody else does that they complain about the driver the players for the coaches but not the sport but in ours it's always a sport it's driving me crazy. Well their memories are faded. And their and their wrong to begin with because their memories we are four and five wide upside down on fire and every finished back in the fifties and sixties is simply didn't happen. Back then drivers won races by four and five laps of this place cars and people wanna talk about Harrell back of those races. We had a really believe that at Atlanta Motor Speedway if you watched the race she saw all cars sliding around a corner at a 190. Miles an hour top to bottom it anywhere between. There was a lot of physical racing going on. For the entire event. Hopefully Atlanta Motor Speedway states that yet again I thought the racing was was as good as you're gonna get at Atlanta. I think the stages at its strategy. As it made it more interest the look without the stages. We could've gone to lap 200 and something before we saw cautioned that wouldn't be good at. My off track my off track don't pay of Atlanta golf very glad I don't listen Timmy don't pay that. We're paving here for one reason and one reason only we're trying to fix a problem when it rains. And it doesn't rain every day of every year so we're solving a problem that might happen. To get rid of a problem that's going to happen we're gonna create eighteen other problem. Don't worry about the rain we get it works upping the rain problem when it rains. With sweepers to keep the racing service the way it was drivers like it crews like it TV likes it the fans in the stands love it don't repayment that let me ask you real quick joke as you've been around the sport a long time like it would put a sealer on it like they used to look at Richmond. Do you know how that would affected in the rain you see there's tend to weep a little bit more. Rather repay even the thing just to see what we used to reap we used seal Richmond and then it wore out during the race and I think that wasn't the the direction they wanted ago. I do know there's different aggregate that teams are still were Parker asphalt companies are working on but until they find that perfect solution just simply don't repaint it all right we're gonna make our final pit stop of the afternoon. We come back we will wrap up this edition of motor sports Monday. Hello this trend on the money in the last eight. I only thank you. Sonic boom. Why didn't own up. Home.

You're listening and I were Monday. Alongside two spotter Julie Meyer I'm Tony resume he had been teasing this the whole time Joey. How long did it take you to get from the route to Victory Lane did you were you able to get any beer you know what well of course I had to fly al-Qaeda no Blair had to fly held so no beard is the sunny water for myself but one of the unique things. At Atlanta Motor Speedway was the old school throwback Victory Lane Dallas formed right on the front stretch the fans were those the gates were opened the fans went out and I walked amongst the fans came downstairs got across the stands before in the picture ever taken we are able to celebrate as a team so great victory for team Penske Joel got like Ghana came over Ryan blink in the world geyser and friendliness. As a company so it really cool nothing better Victory Lane all right we head out west now for the string your baseline outlook on the flight is that for you guys we do about a four and a half hour flight will go one stop to Las Vegas Brad Kozlowski is in the in the car for Vegas and rambling is gonna run Phoenix I'm not quite sure California. But three West Coast races we've run really good we've had the potential win all three races and all that both series we're looking forward we've had two races now where the stages have been in place have we learned any strategy we learn anything more on how these might play out outlets what we've learned is there's different strategies and others there's not just one base strategy that we had the truck series with a twenty minute clock we seem to different races with three different series of six total races. With seed 28 different stages ten different stages and everyone about a different philosophies so as we move forward we can expect to see. Different things I haven't seen the odds yet at the biggest casinos but I gotta think Brad Kozlowski. The favorite going into the Las Vegas race I think we have two of the last thirty years we've on there it's a great track for him again. A place you can slip and slide around moving top to bottom a mile and a half it's not your standard mile and a half as.
