Thank you so much for joining us on this week's edition of NASCAR live last month. The NASCAR world was wrought when Carl Edwards out of the blue announced that he would not be competing in this season's events. And without a doubt he's been a fan favorite for over the past thirteen years this week we paid tribute to cousin Carl. It's a big day for Carl Edwards air it's Carl Edward. How long have you dreamed of this day and I mean really this day since it first started racing and plus that's the sad you asked us to be run an undercard will be years ago and and be standing here right. Jack has made correlate. Lovers to turn away from a million to. He continues to leave here at Charlotte Grayson for over twenty years it's been something that I wouldn't trade for anything I have no regrets it's been a blast. And Ayatollah thanks to a lot of people. CF bank left here this afternoon at Michigan International Speedway as Carl Everett looks off turn four team owners are driven world. Mike Miller Carl Edwards is the first time winner of the NASCAR craftsman truck series that crowd. Team owner Jack brown she finally maybe you've got to Victory Lane here at pocono congratulations. Thank you very much you know we're so proud of Charlotte coach kids there are no better then. On our leverage. The rams beat them the Victory Lane at heartland an apology ankles southern 500. Like this that I have at times but my. Desert amazing leader sometimes it was down slightly injured two itself. I'm back here at a viable can't work out. Mayor Bret camp wealth becomes violent night so I believe ever to win like the fact of how people really don't like. It went for the burial might not be elected that they. Jimmie Johnson comes back the bottom of Karl drive into the hardy hits both. While adding come here to run second houses. Do everything that I didn't alert the video games sometimes and sounds of the Lockheed don't. Sunset going from full time drive in the cup series and the reasons are pretty straightforward that three of them. Number one. I am truly person I'm personally satisfied. With my career Edwards gets a real good run from the inside lane meals going up and wanna Kevin Harvick can take the lead second reason. Is it. And I can get sympathy for me in the room but this is all encompassing thing you guys. We do this and it's full time and not just the physical time but I wake up more I think about race. I think battled it the best thing about factories Roberts and that's just how it is evident for forty years and I need to take that time right now. And devoted to people and things that are. That are. Important things are really passionate. The final five now the back straightaway at lap traffic when he got out Carl the preferred clients while that aren't a problem. Is on his way to check a flag and the third reason is my health. I can stand here helping it that's a testament after all the race I've done in all the students that I better start that is it true testament. Two NASCAR. To the tracks to people who built race cars to my competitors into the drivers who have come before me who we have been support if I put those three things together. I mean I mean this is is now. And that's where coach Gibbs comes in. I just one say to everybody here it was truly a surprise I think symphony Karl felt like it was very important for him it was. That's no surprise. Here comes Carl Edwards won four times noble effort I'll park it was certainly I think a shock to the entire industry but also its its us as a team Joseph Gibbs racing is shock to me wanna rights. I'd hate Illinois junior did whether that's RIL surprises like everybody else no one knew Karl is live rabbit and I don't think any of us know why he never retired and I don't know that whoever Tillis. Matt was first ever talk to and I woke him up I have talked to Carl several times and I come home sort of past history though and when it was a probably less clear than before but to look like I don't know. What part of it but. And can't go all. If you would like to know what the definition of class he is it was just displayed here at the homestead Miami speedway. When Carl Edwards went over to the crew of Joey look out of there he showed to me use his character and Miami. When everything we crash at in the race and in the heat of the moment. He was able to watch dances. I have got to step up on there and say hey it's this race they use it truly. Goss the idea that Childress said we don't stuff their your enemies and you take your money home and don't worry about them and I've learned it's just it's not like that you can you can go out and appreciate that competition and you respect wolf I have learned that from. Hi how ya gotta love those guys and girls as. The CNB. The only thing left to do the fact polish pilot works fine self wolf reforms have accomplished more than it ever. Dream of accomplishing Carl Edwards Jack browse the 2007. NASCAR Busch Series champion having guys there's nothing out of when they've got a 490 miles an hour side is next the best people in the world the best drivers the world has caught. Edwards following it has its tire tracks to bike people brake force it to the wind ending all star race at Charlotte. Really believe it's the right thing it's there it's a personal thing I feel strongly about very confident it's a no there was not one thing just isn't a series of those things over time. I'm sure it's the the right direction and a lot. I'll start at Kapalua sorry Carl Edwards winning mad at Memphis last year this what the dream is all about congratulations this is the dream. I am I can't describing my mom stand over here she's that she's only never give up your minds that my garage just wonder why I was doing all this and this was about. Wow it's safe to say that what we know. Seeing Carl Edwards on the track. Hoping makes his way back to the garage area real soon on the other side of the story. Carl's departure was an opportunity for 2016 NASCAR X thirty series champion Daniel Suarez to step up to the plate. Maher heads what he kaine talked with Daniel about this chance of a lifetime. And host Laura brings his royal opera turnover for glasses dol dot runs good no blood. Until. My of the forty global regulator anyway. 16 billion NASCAR Infiniti series championship. All this came up with with Karl saying he's not gonna come back and in seventeen and now you're in the seat have you had time yet Disco which I can't believe what's going on here. And has been a lot of going on. But. Yeah I wasn't a situation. This is stuff is stuff that's blame because. Because he's had to relive that he's not here anymore he's Zurich driver and a great person of the race sort of dwell on. And on the plane to replace it with a blaze came from this thing through. To be myself on my birthday today. They visited David Keene. I mean you know who's so. Hopefully it in the right way and due to learn estimates that. But on the other side of that equation you've been working towards this since you were what a teenager a little kid do you ever kind of pinch yourself and say this this regal. Yeah. This is this legal entity go through to. To get but yeah I've been having that situation when I won the championship men and how would you side. Was this a portrait to go up. But you know I'm I'm pretty may have been the ruins the season we're looking forward to convince you. You run have run some of the truck races with food the caution clock and all that now we've got this new format coming in. The cup series in the Infiniti series with the this segment. Strategy wise does that give you a little bit of an advantage in seeing how. I know cautious happening here how that's gonna kind of play out that's exactly right I should say he's been through. Good to play over eight years. You're not a lot of people are saying we'll warned that it would try and afterwards right through to. To make you Grayson mowing fans and history is is out of place that is going to be dosed differently in history. They're working toward people.

This is NASCAR live on the motor racing network the voice of mass. Is NASCAR live now back to Mike Bagley. Welcome back to NASCAR live another driver would gain had a chance to speak with recently was Matt cancer it's this week's NASCAR live face to face interview. So why do. And Kansas goes the way he goes up the banking I'll turn to for the final time going to be friends at 53 darlings make it true. Do with the format change segments coming up what do you think that's going to be strategy wise. Well I think he'll definitely changes hands you a little bit just because you know when those two caution flags are coming out so. You know and awarding points. For those segments certainly is it change. Your thinking depending on you know where your earnings. Another cautions fly and what's going on. Have you guys had any it's awful early and and you got as bad information a little longer any discussions with the crew chiefs about what about this what about that trying to figure it out. I have not talked days a lot of all of them and I kind of knew about the concept I guess a little while ago. The women had any real big long conversation go about like other color changes in Beirut well thought out. You know I think it's a nice mix from. Over the extreme of having it in. You win in February here in the chase pretty much in September 5 two. You know be a season long point season you know like he's being in 2003 in before. Wherever point never position matter all year but you know you never appoint specs but I think it's a really good mix that I think that. You know it's important. Every reason girls I'm anyway that's important race hard for every single position every single week in folks who want accumulate as many points as you can. Try to get more room. Most points going boils and probably member of the days back when we used to play halfway money riding Ken Harkin said that a little bit too right. Yes he added does you know it's funny oh Daytona does that per couple years sniffed him money and her for a one of the first you're not for the second year. Like they forgot to teller record about it so none of the drivers even thought about it wouldn't even known it was a lot of money it was like. You know I mean a team gets and you get some live that was like 100000 way to employer to rebels or something creek is a ton of money. And about like accidental my teammates and even knowing that pass would like to us perhaps wave like the money I mean he even know it until we talk the next week. They have a pretty is definitely got to know this and they're all gonna certainly be turning those thoughts. Last year we go through the whole low downforce thing and by the end of the year all the engineers that you guys have all the teams have now. We're able to get a big chunk of that back now they take some more over the weekend do you think it'll be a similar path this year and which it'll be the fight to try and get that. Mac well I don't know if that's true that they got that much back I mean I think there's always. You know no matter how much you have there is I was trying to get more minutes of their their jobs are heroes for your cars. Masters and just make more power turning more downforce turn give more grip you're always dreamt this up no matter how much you have. So. There's so yes I mean fights to get as much as you can. When the number of smaller of the little bits he did. Is a bigger difference of that makes us. A new when Carl Edwards said he wasn't gonna come back to race this year he said you were the first guy I talked to. I'm not gonna ask you what you thought because I know it was probably shock like everybody else but what was the first thing he said to him. Well let's look a little bit. It's me misinterpret little or put out there on a little bit so coached called and told assault on Sunday night Carl Antonio coach told us all conference call. And then I just aren't touching base of Karl on Monday as nozzles Wednesday. Discount does racism zooms up immature that is okay and he called me back on Tuesday so I knew about it. This coastal sauce on the night that Obama talked into suicide and it really learn much I don't really knowing more than what he told the written press coverage spells with a what's up the most fun thing you got to do in the off season had a good off season so far it's been nice to have nice mix of being home to the family. Skiing a few weeks goes by the rules only had so far. You know Ross got married over new years that was gonna go out there and and be part of that that's something that snuck up plumbing pretty quickly in life I wasn't really quite ready for but it was it was really use we'll really fun time down there. It's really need night for him. In amber so. You know so it's it's been Finnegan offseason has been kind of busy and away but it's been good. You got it tries to bite your tongue and not given too much advice are you gonna let it fly those type of thing though ought to give me license to everything early. Let's say prime thus putting that gave him gave him some interest in advice certainly can't repeat on the radio. Which is pretty funny. It's so he you know. Where race across all the time I was probably guys that thought I was doing really good that it took me a little while to realize that. I was pregnant too much advice and trying to help too much is irritating and so he knows it's it's hard. You know he had that was really hard. Because you don't know. Where the line is very you wanna do enough without too much is certain things that you just have to learn on your only chance we tell you have to work on your own in your member of that. We think back to Phoenix did just learn life lessons whether as the race not. Certain I was that line got to try to figure out what's I was challenges apparent in my opinion. That is Matt Kenseth and what became apparent NASCAR live face to face interview. Joey look Gado comes up next and later won't get a history lesson on the clash at Daytona. No there's really mama mommy and did the last day. All things Tampa. Boom and anyway he's our job. Oh.

Thanks for hanging out let us on this week's edition of NASCAR live. What he gave has been a busy man lately what do you also had a chance to catch it would Joey MacDonald lately Joey woody talked about. The 2017 changes and some things that Joey did and the season is here public battle for the final time. Three at all. Looking for the ticker. Don't know they're gonna have to organize a big time star did Bryant really enjoy it like out. I would not know the only chase contender coming and you never want to critics and now he's changed that what do you think about this new format now is a going to be something where you already been trying to turn the strategy possibilities over in your mind. That's a fact Gordon's or huh huh huh. Head that's done. There is going to be a lot of different strategies that this will be different and every extra. And depending on which are trying to accomplish. You know obviously we're trying to accomplish most points in and tried to win the race. But that's gonna mean different things there and race to try to position yourself the best fit to actually when the race so. Yeah I'm excited about it there's a lot of unknowns. House are gonna go over IID you know wanting it do now. It has him very exciting. And very interesting and fun to watch. How this all plays out on how. How it kind of evolves. Throughout Iraq and and it figures things out and changes things that. Or dollar a lot about each other and that than the next few weeks down. They covered a lot of drivers say is going to be cool to get to the playoffs and not have to throw away everything you've earned through the regular season are you on that that side as well. He that's. One of the big things that. That I like about it is that. It makes. Going to Texans springer going to emerge as the in the spring there on that you know Phoenix here frontman and makes that racism or. You know before. You know you win one race here in the chase okay great. And then you know it is bonus points but really to the first round of sixteen in there this is don't crash you know I mean it still is don't screw up. Now that's not necessarily the case now you every race becomes very important every race helps you get home centers for him. And that is he. Because I'd leave that everything in. Deserves particular race that means something that means a lot. And now every lap of arteries is a big deal. I'm a bit about the Ford side because now you've got rhyme lady a little closer proximity one with a wood Brothers and you guys were already affiliated. Now the whole SA Tara bush comes on about the excitement with forty having a lot more what more eyeballs and brains in the game. Yet another hot bat I think that's that's good I think everything is is growing right isn't that Ford is. Is taking me. A larger. Placement and NASCAR racing which is awesome the city. You know and they're getting some fast cars very unique if you know I've seen other wood Brothers cars are fast Renault. Passes your house Harrison and very passively to being against them funny long enough to know that. So. That you can be very interest in the Cathy how it all plays out of the things that make great you know Imus in the back him from a use the term loosely but what's the coolest thing you've got to do in the off season. I coolest thing I had the last yeah. Quite a few guys from my team are from Penske general. We will see you have to look away went bunch of players razors. And we beat up on them for a couple days you a question trails. And you know irbil involved at the it was thought that care about. No I really actually known that we didn't hit it thing. Actually Ramon my sack guy he may have comparable little flat but besides that. And he and he is okay here now they really do any damage so. That was good. But besides that everything went really well so we I make sure we did as nearly. A great after the season ended before Christmas. Is that they have some healing time. Though but we didn't need that though thank god for that her path that's. If you were always wanted to look at nobody loses and I write like your mom used to say yeah golf on the phone get tired. That's the driver of the number 22 shell Pennzoil ports for team Penske Joey like god though Joey is gonna be busy this weekend. He'll be competing Saturday night in the Advance Auto Parts clash at Daytona all race that's better around since 1979. You may not know this. But the concept originated. Without our very own Jack a route to. Jackie joins us now in this week's paid for the past. Walker put a lot of intimately Clark couldn't get it let's see what it has at the line here they come to this Bryant and lakers bigs out front water can get a big prize money outside Buddy Baker will win the bush like. It's hard to believe that the upcoming clash that kicks off the when he seventeen NASCAR season is almost forty years old. Not put that in perspective. Consider the fact the majority of drivers in this year's event where toddlers or get to be born Wendy's invitational race was conceived. Now historians will you know use the clash was the brainchild of money Roberts the newly appointed Busch beer brand manager. But there is more to the story. You see late 1977. Roberts met with Jim Foster in myself in marathon key. To explore ways to promote the re branded bush beat. Robbery to an automotive background prior to joining Anheuser-Busch. Wanted a racing presence. And at the time I was the executive producer motor racing network and Foster as the executive vice president of International Speedway corporation. Was my immediate boss. Now a deal was easily struck Busch beer sponsor them aren't broadcast. Put all three of us at that meeting wanted more. That's when Foster proposed a cash incentive for drivers that moved up in the yield the most in each race. I sent over there at the table and listened dutifully. And then decided to throw caution to the wind and that proposed mine boss. What will that give bush be right asked what you need is something that is unique to Busch beer. I then proceeded to lay out the idea to reward the pole winners from every cup race on the season. Put them all on the track for a winner take all race I said. A Roberts like the idea and the beginnings of the bush class related. But how to provide a presence being on the Busch clash was Roberts concern. But not really thinking it through I continued to just blurred out the thoughts at the top of my head I said he beach pole winner a whole beer keg system. That turned out to be the closer for the deal. That 1978. Seasons off push your presence at every NASCAR cup event. And I cannot tell you just how popular those beard gave systems beat game. As for me. Let's just say I was just happy to still have a job after overriding my boss. Where pages from the pass I'm Jack career. Thanks Jacqui I'm so glad it worked out what an exciting event that still continues to live to this very day. Coming up next we'll look back on last year's clash later Denny Hamlin stopped spy.

Welcome back to NASCAR live from last year's class a Daytona was an exciting one to refresh your memory errors Susie Armstrong with a NASCAR live race re one. Thanks Mike. Last season the Advance Auto Parts clash at Daytona took the green as the Sprint's unlimited. NASCAR filled out the 25 car field with 2015. Pole winners past winners of the event. Past Daytona 500 pole winners and 2015. Chase drivers not already qualified. NASCAR split the 75 lap race in fifteen segments. With segment one comprised of 25 laps. And segment to running for fifty circuits. Around 2.5 mile high banked tri oval as the green flew Jimmie Johnson and Brad Kozlowski squared off. On the front row yet come under way of the American ethanol green flag is displayed in a funny sixteenth season is under way with the start of the sprint unlimited as the field wound up so full sun Kozlowski took command. Accurate Pulaski begins to wind it up because topside panic brought up the topic or. I am calling the team Penske sport pilot over the first ten laps but debris on the front grill forced him out of contention. And Jamie McMurray. Nabbed the top slot but Perry like his last because last. Rodriguez got the start finish do laps later NASCAR flew the first caution of the race for Ricky stint house junior or. Save of the season Def recording sixteen belongs to Ricky stand out here. Right rear tire flat out at machine picked us car sideways midway between turns wanted to do that timely caution was a boon for the baby Kozlowski you have they had the debris that you just heard him talk about stuff. You're starting to push a little bit of water he was gonna try to get battle and get now Larson get in behind him. It make that free golf and he got freight train there so a big break remember this caution flag coming up. Mick Murray maintained the spotlight and held on to the lead until a melee unfolded. At the conclusion of say that one. Travel to the outside retaining wall through cars have tangled what sliding down onto the apron maybe you know Ryan baker rich hey our heart like her records. Dale Earnhardt junior is the other guarded ball they feel the right side door back honor guard Max player McCain. Greg Biffle got a piece of the action AJ all the bigger got a piece of the action there comes a point lawyer car all torn up in the rear end the five hour energy vision. Greg claimed seven machines in the 25 car field has raised action resumed Denny Hamlin led the pack to the greens. And held the top position for the next seven laps. As the field sorted out Kozlowski is overheating issues were a thing of the past and he reclaimed the top spot. Only to fall victim to another chunk of debris on the grill of the number two Ford. Back at Daytona the field now. 37 laps to go now Brad Kozlowski is upfront but we have seen this before Dave moody we did take a look at the grilled on that Ford. There is debris off the nose of the SKF Ford there's no doubt about it that's the bad news good news is he's got teammate Joel Donna right behind. We take it lockbox and Bryant get that off because he's got to have a problem. On lap 44 of those third yellow flew. Jerry just against the back straightaway Perry comes sliding across the act the apron of the racetrack. Did the grass and now will close to have positioned right in a heartbeat here at the end. After the Daytona super scratch under caution Kozlowski stayed out. While the rest of the field pitted for fuel and tires Brad Kozlowski opted to not come down pit road. But he was able to get that debris off the front of his Ford Fusion. Probably got up behind to face talks. Got it also off the temperature and risen too far for them so they don't anticipate that big daddy engine damage on the restart Hamlin quickly reclaimed the lead. And held the top spot until the fourth caution flew. On the left 56. Kasey Kahne getting together and quality of life right at the end prison term ever created two got together Kasey Kahne got turned across the racetrack giving AJ Allman (%expletive) And everybody behind them started to scattered. Hamlin coveted the lead as the checkers nears it with three laps to go NASCAR flew the sixth and final caution. Forcing the clash into overtime. Trouble blue letters just outside wolf Casey Mears is that it Erica apple rules meant to be applied. Truex junior threads the needle and I'll push. Just bails me out fly ball. Four cars collided big quick down the Daytona super threat. In the final scramble. Hamlin held off a strong challenge from Joel go to the finish as a crash on the final lap drops a curtain. On the invitation movement to and a half miles to go out Denny Hamlin got inside the got a lot of the outside nurse. Up right behind don't look. Don't like John gets a big job at a tournament want me well why don't Europe and all pretty much get nailed the lieutenant. Yeah that's for kids they're 345. Shots aren't big ball and did it ever wanted to. Back for a yellow flag is waving it predicts Dow to completing the final lap of this event. Denny Hamlin was the leader with a caution flag came out Rusty Wallace. They have long since passed the line of the facts right away. The first test of overtime and the beneficiary. Is Danny Hamlin he will web them but twice sixteen bit version of. All of the spread on Leavitt did ads they'd tell there raising network's live coverage of the Advance Auto Parts clash kicks off. This Saturday night at 7 PM Easter. For this race real one and I'm Susie Armstrong. Thank you says he Denny Hamlin would go on to win the Daytona 500 and most certainly be a favorite to win it again. This year what are AK set ballad Danny Hamlin to talk about 2017. Betting him like the clock back I'm. They got beat up clap our hands on an Earnhardt absolutely I think it waving crossing over too much free time and we'll put on the block I got. I ask you what was it like. Being one of the guys in that room where they came up with this whole format that was the big debate was that everybody thrown out ideas that you have these traditional white board what happened there. It there was a white Ford for sure. You have the pin. At times and then actually. It but it was is so fun to be a part of it coming. It was time consuming. But I can tell you that. He has never been a part of a group that are worked out well together and really at no point did anyone take. This is just not gonna work you know we've checked the boxes and fix a lot of things for a lot of different people with a CTV. The track drivers if he really helped. And a lot of areas that we were struggling and that's something that any change usually it helps 11 group and hurts another this this helps everyone. Was there something that you said may and we gotta have this thing came through in the end well not really but it's all about. That they got to have his great racing I think that's what our sport these morning things are racing we've had from various you know the last couple years. But to make that better. And give the fans the opportunity to it to take a break talk to their friends about what's going on yeah you have another stage coming up. I think that does this really good and allows the crew chief to really do some different strategies to. Makes this build up and I think that's the biggest thing you're gonna see is the mixing in the field after our event. Strategy wise what kinds of things we'll when talking about because I know his wheels have been spent and every guy I've talked to a few of the crew chiefs have been saying. They've been staying up burn the Midnight Oil trying to figure out how they're gonna play this. Yeah way they're set at semi tracks are so many different ways to do it I mean. It just depends on what what Latin numbers that the the stage in send. When the caution comes before that that all the strategies gonna come and play so a lot of it you're not gonna see until. You actually watch her race and see you know how all plays out but hopefully to win the race fans in the results of batteries. I know we will see it until Atlanta but now going through for lack of a better phrase that even lower downforce package Bolivia similar progression you think to last year where you guys. Fought for the year to get some of that back or will it be even more recess. I think that you know it'll be a little bit less of a change you'll we have last year they're only taken you know another half century so off the spoiler. So I don't think it will be huge change I think that rear end housing changed it will be the bigger change that we see this year. The cars will probably get really loose at the end of runs like they have been so. It's tough to say really until we get there I haven't done any testing very thing in the offseason so its own will be the first time I jump back in a car. So I'm looking forward to and see what changes do. For sure what's the most fun thing you got to do and what we loosely describe as the off season. You know I did nothing. Didn't hardly leave the house to doubts that it I'd just yet every other offseason that I had. You knee surgeries or something it recovering from something. Back injuries but this year gestures to take it easy in and spent some time at home and you know it was a good off season. That is Denny Hamlin and coming up we'll hear from Ryan Delanie later.

Rolling right along here on this week's edition NASCAR live a big surprise last year. Was the rookie performance from Ryan Blaine recently Amare as Brian Nelson was able to talk with him about his rookie season. And as expectations for his wood Brothers number 21 race team at 2070. Coming off off full time season into monster energy NASCAR cup series. Last year it was a first full time season for the wood Brothers is well in quite a while what did. What did the team learned a you know do you guys have some growing pains at all that if she kind of went through a full time season again. Yeah you know they'll always be kind of growing pains. Just. Rookie season. For me and an almost look for the wood Brothers to be in that not being full time in eight years. Asked us to do just have to jump into a 36 race schedule and the that it great job and and bonding with the no we ask you from the SE group on our team in the neighborhood group and they they really. You know worked really well together and yet matter matters you went on but so. I feel like since they got here and development. You pretty much had the same people there's a couple of changes but. I just to get them known each other and get a full year record teacher and borrowings under our belt. I feel like we have a whole. Different team kind of going into this year for the better and I think that's the chilling and a improve lessened. They always keep improving in the aircraft like we're gonna have to. We're have a lot faster start them we had at beginning of that sixty. All that momentum carrying over in the 2070 what did you feel like where that where the big building blocks. That. You were able to kind of get in place. To launch in the 27. And you know they don't respect and communication and you know work ethic and we're going to each other so I feel like. I've been notice down with my crew chiefs and a couple of engineers and really get a good language going to try to understand each other and to slow the organization on that side which I think we'll benefit you. Just a little details at cleanup and and you sit back and look at season. Are we can improve here here here and trying to work on those things really hard at the offseason trying to make better for. For the next year so that we've done that. That's kind of hard to tell without being at the racetrack you know you hope he's done it's but it's I'm excited to get its own and and Stuart teams. All the lights side you guys still have your band go. Taliban yeah we. We did a little bit of stuff master and a little bit in the off season. Lets them thus thus we did last year and alive but it's.

We when you write a song where does that come from uncle. IRS are in my life but then we just do covers of other songs people of people rittner. Covers over our bodies bans some like that but it's I'm not. About thoughtful enough to write a song I'm not emotional enough to write a song. Is it is this I've seen the videos of you guys got a cruise around and and head banging. It in the cars on the street none of the track. What kind of bands really the ones you identify with the and I always something in there have talent like that Yucca heavier metal stuff. Rock and roll music.
