There are the motor racing network present NASCAR live feed her Russian wallet. Meaning greater. A big white guy America. From NASCAR pit crews in Key West, Florida Gary's your host Mike Bagley. On that's part of the crews are we hearing Key West, Florida so glad you're. Joined us for this week's get together. While clearing he west and or is what he means at Phoenix international raceway were a big announcement was made earlier this week when he. Michael on Monday the track unveiled a 178. Million dollar modernization project called the Phoenix raceway project powered by DC solar. Much of the seating will be shifted toward what is now turn one and two with the start finish line being relocated to that side as well just before the dog legs. Pit road will also be reconfigured so pit stops happened right in front of the new seats. Phoenix raceway president Bryant's ferber says most of the war will be an effort to allow more. Fan access so everything that exists today in the infield to be completely razed and replaced with this new high energy interactive fans out. Anchored by a one of the kind garage area where fans will actually be able to enter into the garage structure you think about. Being able to visit the locker room maybe if your favorite team for the big game. Any fan would love to do that we're gonna bring that to life here Phoenix race right now. Allowing fans who are in the fans out to enter into the garage area and interact with the teams and the drivers that are their heroes. A new pedestrian tunnel connecting the infield to a redesigned to midway area elevators and escalators to get people to their individual seats. And why five route are also big parts of the project. International Speedway corporation's CEO Lisa France Kennedy said it's another step similar to the Daytona rising project. We just got after six does what weekend at Daytona and we had a chance fantasy jags at its and his team. And really different it's unfair labor integrate Rolex 24 who were emitting into the Daytona 500. But as many and you know we did our company's single largest investment here at the Daytona international speed and I am one of the highlights. I think for all of us on the team was walking hand. That first day and seeing their reactions in the fans that they knew modernization of that race track. And that's what we hope to bring here and that's what we feel like we'll be able to do with Brian and his team. OK but what about the competition on the track. Team Penske is Joey looked on those says the new location of the start finish line will have a little something extra there using high energy restarts. You know you if you guys have watched. And it NASCAR races at Phoenix before. He's he has let dive bomb move and cut off the dock like quite a bit which makes trajectory pretty interesting. With where he has served his finest now going to be place. Three Ethier passer slime it's freaking out there you want to extend the series champ Daniel Suarez this from Mexico and calls Phoenix raceway his second home. He'll step under the nineteen carded Joseph Gibbs racing in the monster energy NASCAR cup series after Carl Edwards decided to end his full time career viewed at the old one and two there and I guess size into but he doesn't see what happened coming to a second ago. You gonna maybe win that race is going to title is the project is expected to be completed in November of 2018.

He is down from the biggest stars in Nashville along with offseason racing report from the motor racing network owned and hope. We'll spotlight why would be cured it interviewed him here. You're up to speed all year long and Americans feel. Who lives. From NASCAR in the group. This is. NASCAR line. Back to Mike bag. What about the national I've run the Norwegian pearl sitting athletic Key West, Florida were headed to Nassau Bahamas tomorrow. This is the inaugural NASCAR the crews are we're have a great I wish you were here hopefully next year pop that is what this. David Reagan's coming up so as head trader Rusty Wallace and a litany of other folks so we've had a busy off season. Who dat we had a busy off season as far as race formats and you already know that gap what do you make about these erased formats. Okay. OK here's what bank. And honestly that's why I think it'll fix itself. It's not look at the sports not gonna fix itself. What we've seen over the last three or four years and last NASCAR. And and the powers that be. So wanna pick bat and tried something. Right wrong or in different. I'm not not to say it's going to be right and Michael says going to be wrong. I'm not gonna say it's not gonna change or move the needle that may do something it may do nothing. But if we continued the path we were all one. That's we're going to be I uses an in this and an outward and ran my dad's team for a while when we were up fifteen at best team fifteenth at best. A lot of times when he when he bit. Here's the deal if you're running fifteenth they're doing it and you don't make it change chances are you don't keep running fifteenth or twentieth as is the way to yes I'm sideman. And you may not like everything and I may not like the changes that I had to make a Petty Enterprises are the NASCAR had to make here we may not like everything but it's something moves it. If something moves that needle and gets more butts in the stands. And more people listen and M Arian and more people watch it on TV and that's a plus I don't care. If you're traditionalists you may not like. If you go back to 1950s. You may not like a guy beside this stuff like. The one when he grabs are south of called what what about that duel that at bat at Daytona deal. Being a points race it was a points race along time ago let's say just come full circle. That that's not anything magically news that's something they get along time ago so when you really start looking at it they had to do something I and I outlawed. And imitate some. Almost sell my hands and keep my mouth shut until it felt like I see something because you're not to watch this go under the guise. Alex Davis let us off the set and he's got some of the has question yeah I've got Dave from Illinois I don't Dave what's your question. We had. A handful of drivers retired believe I was wondering up new guys coming in or. Guys have been there for just year to as there anyone that you would think we should keep her eyes on that have exceptional talent. Exceptional talent let you know what that's that's really good. That's good quests and hat I'm gonna say this. I think chase Elliott impressed everybody last year if you hit it you're not going to be impressed I'm sought and I did not expect him to have the year and to do that thinks media. So away he was very very very impressive. To me an and I think there's a lot of gas in that group now. If I look at chase if I look at at rumbling rumbling he's the real deal real deal watch him. Bet those gas there's if you get there and you've got Austin Dillon you've got guys that have been here. And and and here's what people lose site of two as we're talking about these guys that are up and comers. There watt. Three years four years younger than Joey MacDonald who's been here forever and it's contended the champions championships the last two or three years. So you Barney got that age group with that I say it classy joints a secret. Hit it it's pronounced in the north Jolie is pronouncing without joy. Joyce JO clock I thought they want. I IP but I'm just saying it is a really healthy group aren't they're there it's the sports and a really good place when you look at. Gas to run the cup series and it's going to be our guys that are run the trucks in the serenity series and Eric Jones a Daniel Flores a gas like that. It it's an incredibly healthy place. Now let me ask you this though with these drivers starting so early. Is there shelf life going to be shorter yet guys 161718. Years old. Yet yet that's it OK here's the deal if you go back and and now we use this example if you go back and you'll get rusty up here error. Guys like that in my and Earnhardt senior in in and Taylor Bonnie guys they get a chance to cup cars until there late twenties until their late twenties they got a shot and you know what they are around until the early fifties. Start they got there twenty years went from late twenty's it was all through the thirties art their thirties and poise and hung around to the early fifties. And that's what Alison Bobby in in dining in my dad and all those guys that they started. But. 1718. Will that number skewed view. Carl Edwards numbers up 38 or 39 and that's going to be the question what's what's going to be skew. We've got locked on all behind us greater we've got a couple people that showed up here Nasrallah. Labor laden Wallace got a lot of weight down. This triggered it many a mere more importantly. And more lead than that these are Rusty Wallace and meanings raiders flags. Fully half. And I thought I was going to be the widest gap in her hole and made a lot. I think it was the last time he had very shorts audience since 190. Yeah. And I rusty as your crew's been so far. It's been real good left Chordiant does day coming down here don't know my checklist but don't pat answer okay we got and our passports. We god you know got martial art we've got all this got to us that are one thing opera got the key. She's at what set us up forget that game to me. That's not if it didn't get. I've got a hot that's normally speed weeks is that based Coke now the crews could be based all right Daytona. I think we're a great time so really the ship beautiful had a great time he was that you would at some places that I wish I did before. It wants her around to send. Blasted his great much much that's not that that's what gets caught now like lunch at the pathetic office.

While folks and asked why you do this after what you went through last year and get back in the car mean. He gets you dollars in the bank there is gonna get go that apartment got a beautiful wife he got had a life changing event the off season what's the motivation if you get mechanisms. There's a lot of different things that that motivate you back in the car you're item handle. I don't really great for the paycheck anymore. Definitely haven't. Spent all the money in that I made saved over the years so tried taker myself and put myself in the position financially for the rest of my life and I got. Opportunities business wise beyond graphic cards so. The financial side and it is anonymous remains a factor yeah. I think the fans are big parties in their support today we have been. Seeing their sport except they are about us get back in the car. That's a driving factor and you know just my own my own. Enjoy. Driving it. What I did that in the end there and how much I liked being involved in this work. It's motivating factor in the there's there's several reasons good driving back in the car and you know I trust fluids. My doctor tell me tell us how I'm feeling personally. And you can feel confident about that Susan. For the should go a couple things about the start of the season first of all they changed the name for back to the clash. Which I know you like a lot of folks like that but you're not in my fans have been asking why are you right now from a drag race car. Photo I was eligible because of past win many years ago tiger Woods Hole and how much howl we'll find your. And I just always feel I feel like fifth generation B now co winners only. Nationally only criteria beginning and how all I felt like that for very long time as soon as Alex wonderful Phoenix. My instinct and you will immediately. What's together they create and say Alex deserves to drop the clash. For me what he just did today in Phoenix and what he's done this team. At the end of the season and how excited those guys word has a great car had a chance to win that race. I feel like he deserved it more than I deserve it. And we could have put him in the five car but he didn't work within his gas he worked for us. We'll bring it to him and destined best of people that he knows and he's got around their race I think he should be with the guys they've got their win so. It was a game he would submit it didn't have perfect situation or firfer. Solution but I'm happy within time will. Probably Vietnamese government. How are actual little miss that you do live fun. But yeah I feel like getting your hole where you belong in the race and he certainly went out there and did that this past year.

That's right in there everything is at peace candidate incident between a Speedo and these night here in a lot of crap in it and I. Am not going on up there. I think it is out of I. Let's talk or shot care for just the second weir who thought they younger drivers. I had guys in the sport now 161718. Years old to that shelf life you know you guys race till you're fifty and you're still racing to this day. We ever start an earlier you think we're gonna lose them earlier what's the shelf like the drivers these station thing. I don't know I think it's got a Maltese it's got a lot to do a burnout got a lot to do that much money can't make it's like got a lot to do how comfortable they feel. In I mean yeah I would I would really really surprised that there start as early as the Carl Edwards checking out surprises Xia. You know Jeff Gordon Lehman. But you know about I talked actually texted back and what to Jeff a little while ago about that big. Race he had enough Daytona then today I mean my gosh you went to Indy prepared he got a lot of work in the point partake to in the wind it's 44 you know so. He's not a guy that had been there done that I don't what isn't ready to move onto something endeavor. Manoush start early now why are they start early because it can't mean they got the support they got their computers behind and they got a lot of technical support I guess they can do it but I want to 49 how do you Kenny Sutton. You're close to 49 right. Yeah I'm close and that's yeah a little bit more into it that yeah yeah my even my wife spree in older men but I'm not. I doubt it I don't us open coming up when I. Let's see who makes drop of my other outlets that Obama status back. Younger drivers though I must say this I this this is a part that debt concerns may have a threat animals thing is. When you started and you quickly as Stewart I was driving and down cars from rich to pay you what you need dollars and we had a time in our careers. Where you had an opportunity to learn you had a opportunity to learn to race. Would really good gas. Now these guys started eighteen or nineteen their their own end and if you're not a superstar in two years. You throats cut make throwing on the side of the road Mathers and you can't coming along yeah and that that is that is an issue because a lot of good guys. If you gave him the next few years so they may get past that point Joey look I was a perfect examples tonight who was cast out and almost was gone. Because Gibson has has given up on him and it's he took human talent and for championships. Just because you're there twenty years old yet doesn't mean he should be yeah are each are there are you are ready yet I don't you're ready yet. Alice got a question yeah we got what we're we're from my name's John I'm from Elgin South Carolina which your question. My question is without changes being made. If you guys can bring back one track to race on again for all these youngsters which one would it be and why Kenny. I mean. We get good we got good tracks. We can't we get real good tracks and similar motion how it will only lost a couple really mean anything about it. We will lost Rockingham and north looks hurled. But but you know we we we have a big national sport. We can't have all and freight contracts within a 1151001. Another you know we have we have to branch out. Rockingham was fun but let me tell you that right now. He even though there are new you run around Darlington just like those camps in 1940 something when they built the place. Yeah that's tough. I actually for me it was a book pearl. I I go back and forth I passed north what's robot twice a week at a home up the banner elk North Carolina and I don't the banner up all the time. And I got the backers maverick out candy you feel it's called highway and I don't want illegal now what fifteen I'm sorry the past 115 enough. I look up parent domain answer is to take but that place I was short track when I got they have parking for short track racing. They SA's series. And the short tracks kind of get my style pretty good so I was young guy short track races. Man I want to go to Bristol I wonder who looks broke I want to go to Martinsville tracks like that I can control but. The neat thing about what were you go flying down hill down the frustrated within you go up till now the back straightaway battered beaten banking that you really had to take your car right. You worked really really hard when you left without parole if you want to average it felt like it's short track man you've really done something so. That's the one that Imus. OK if we just don't shake it up couple Rebecca beach course that they don't pocketbook and. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know what you are rock and a lot of the debt I don't think let's go all the way back in question Rodham database and I don't know how to. Alexander. Out of a vote as did it come on now that I don't know ask that you think these guys they did it. We let's get to track. I'm off court I don't you know here's the one thing in the nmap equity this that this same thing and in Kinney said it before. These racetracks that change these same race as Darlington. Donna has been as is ninety days they don't fitness is that you got. It's not the racetracks that have changed when you talk about bring in places by. It's the technology in the cards is the way to sports approaches the drivers is so many different things that have changed. But the one thing that hasn't changed in the sport. Is the racetrack itself. Is still just to know and I still people all down my granddaddy star race in 1947484. And it wouldn't win NASCAR's starting bizarre theories where that. And all week yet all of media bus every bit for eleven with started little white line and right around us circles. And weighed in at the same might line. And you know I think government. If you people about tickets and watch it. Don't have. As how petty and Kenny shattered Jennifer thank you so much for joining us thank you rusty is gonna stick.

Florida. We issue an air hopefully next year you will be earlier in the show. When he came joined us from Phoenix and talk about the big changes coming to the tracks of events start stop drivers are out there. Get ready for a test session. What do you with all these changes coming to Phoenix what are some of the guys saying. Well Mike a couple of guys everybody was anxious to hear from were Dale Earnhardt junior after missing half of last season with those concussion symptoms and Kevin Harvick whose won here eight times but has a team switched afford to manage coming at a Tony seventeen. Harvick hasn't finished out of the top four years since Tony thirteen and says he loves the challenge of figuring out new things. Snow running down some checklist of really basic things to to try to figure out exactly. You know where we need to be what we need to do what we need to work on but the the main thing is we have a starting point now it's not like it's. There's not a lot of guessing anymore I mean you know. What's going on and where your. Corner on the racetrack is is what we needed to be doing so that we knew where to work from here so it's it's been an interesting morning just. Going through the basic stuff asked for. Earnhardt he's been eager to get back behind the wheel for the first time since early December when he ran a session at Darlington to get clearance from NASCAR to compete again we've seen that the car has really good speed. Looking at 22 and four coupled as fortitude and a thinker have been stronger in the past and will be again. But rather will I like the way the car feels that. His death Sunday didn't really take any time to get acclimated orient our adjusted and he's saying there's a couple small. New things and in and maybe on you know with the cockpit there's a dash of little things like that to get used to this is also a chance for teams to wrap their arms around the new even lower downforce package will use this year and Joey look autos crew chief Todd gore. Instead a few things are different route than that I don't think I don't think it's a major differences so while we had last year as far as balance. How one thing is who have less spoiler there's there's more breaking usage seems like he knows he's not the drag of the car pulling it down slowing down so. Bum break usage might be up a little bit but. It's beaten down seems to be decent to what we expect to come in here in just trying to work through some things in office and things for. Pick a pax better then there's Eric Jones he moved up to be a teammate with Martin Truex junior at furniture row racing after running full time in the expert of these series in 2016. Well it's a lot different. You know this is the first time the science on dirt in the the low downforce package so. Quite a bit different in general. You know a little bit more challenging overall to drive them what to what extent any cars or or what the previous package was on the cup car and drove in 2015 so. This kind of figured it out. As a group the 77 group is getting used to work what each other here today. Everybody figured out their jobs are ready figured out their place and just kind of a day of of getting everybody together figure everything out and and did a little bit more prepared. And there's another full day of testing here tomorrow we've gotten more details at MRN dot com.

In Key West, Florida Mike Bagley joined by Rusty Wallace and David Reagan and also. Co anchor just regal is in the house. Hello everybody. Take it all this and it has been quite an entertaining show got it's tough to follow the up folks that have been on this stage. Kenny trader Rusty Wallace Kyle Petty now David Reagan. I think it's been up all star lineup might well and we're about to increase the all star nature of this lineup as Tyler now. Has a question from someone in the hot tub yeah we're still over here and the hots with Diana from Tacoma Washington is here she has a question. I have an era with with that Tyson at el Dora the dirt any chance of extending your cup ever get over there to dirt track. David Hewitt devious and raced on the dirt. I think in the right situation and the right time I think so you know you never can say no. Eventually I think our sport needs to convince a few weeks and I don't think we're gonna senior races eliminated. So maybe a midweek show and a lot of times you know the TV networks in NASCAR they listen to the fans so the more that you guys skin can vocalize what you guys wanna. Wanna see what your interest in what you're gonna support we can't have a dirt race and only 101000 people are shots up. I think you'll door there might be a few other dirt tracks around the country that can support. You know twenty point out 30000 people. But. Be OK with that I. I'm not an era when the stock car Kuester analog a lot at the F fairground tracks you know whether you run the fairgrounds to the point Illinois or where they'd run Springfield Illinois or right. Big tracks like every state fairs going on those are one mile track. That real big I think it the more suited her. I've cup style car you know may then they'll Dora would be Al Gore's a great racetrack. But I can see the that the faster bigger cars were at the bigger racetracks street wedding night. Hobble about it you know I would love to see something new something different you guys are talking about road racing. Added to the playoffs hello Delta Airlines and coming Villanova at. Duck. That's where your state room is up there in the biggest took the top off their rescue but it would be I'd be for what about you I'd look it. I would like to see the all star race thrown dirt. And that is an hour and I never thought about that might we've we've got to the point with the all star race will be done just about everything to it except that. Sort of putting it down to move on to something else. I'm up to that I'll open to that might think is that it every cup race is gonna have stages this year. Well they all star race has stages for years so what's new possibly coming for the aisles are ultimately I think the best all star challenge will be. Taken to the drag strip run there one night to go to the short track dirt track of their own by then they're available for the final deal. Well we got that is sure others feeling got an all within a few hundred miles so our few hundred yards so I. Who knows you know nothingness is impossible suck. Like in with with everybody in the industry with you guys are fans. We talk a little bit you know it's a little happen. That's David Reagan and before we let you go to 72017. Not that far away Daytona what do you expect from your team this year. You know Daytona so we got. A Ford Fusion were taken at Daytona back with for a motor sports obviously. You know delegate Robert Gates Jack Roush within the poor performance group they've got our our engines being built and the Penske Fords have been really really strong on the speedway Daytona Talladega Joseph I don't know. Practice allows you've been really really fast and so I think that we've we've got a good group of forwards going to Daytona I don't know that we'll have the speed. To settlement Poehler as Sen on the front row for that the duels on Thursday night but I think we'll have a car that handles well we're. To be aggressive we're gonna try to be up there we know that this is a race. That if we play our car try to we don't have any mistakes on the road that we can have a good day and a good day for us if we can lead some laps of being intention toward the end. You know who knows what will happen but you with these stages and with some strategy toward the end. We might confront herself you know Smith in the that the front and and leading some laps toward the end of the race and so the Daytona 500 is. Such an amazing race to to to be apart. To be part of the whole speed weeks but if we can lead some laps and have a shot to win that race that would be great if we just don't want to be. Caught up in a Manson and have ID and amp for the Daytona 500 so we'll have some opportunities to lead some laps and if we can be up front. It into the race those final 1520 laps we're going to be aggressive and try to make something happen.

Back to Mike thank. Key West, Florida here on the motor racing network got our food then just regal and Rusty Wallace we've got Alex stepping up. You represented pit road I got the turns cover up that we just about got everything that Matt has its era. Well I don't know amends with Stewart right now at a general what do you think Rick they a spirited show had to act Colin Kenny and David give us some business admits that right there. I think they're they've got a lot of opinions there's no doubt about that they're ready to get the 2017. Season started there's been no. Lot of talk about the new format what people think about that some love it some don't look at some. Our guess right there at the moment thinking about what is gonna happen nobody knows. Meet personally. I help illegal in the Daytona 500 known have to be at three segment race. That is still has the real big deal to it I mean that they beat you were going to. The Daytona 500 that we're not going to a three segment race I hope which is the big Phelan I think that's what they need to. Focus on that make sure that when they go into these big events they still got that deal might out. I look at sports and I I love talking. On social media and listening to so many different opinions as especially since the announcement last week about go to the stages I think more than ever. And I'm a pit road guys I think more than ever pit stops are going to be key because strategies now gonna be out. Do you wanna try to get these bonus points at the end of statewide. 41 pitch. Five laps before they closed pit road. To make sure you have the starting spot up front on the restart efforts upper stage do so I think more than ever sat strategy going to be the biggest thing that look at or. Well if you go back Rusty Wallace there aren't awful Lotta times we start talking midway through the race about drivers walking laps. We race hard we drop the green flag and everybody's. Objective is the ball in line single file in ride through about two thirds of the Daytona 500 before we really. Cut loose there at the end of the race that is not gonna happen in this year running of the Daytona 500 yeah. Right yet that's not gonna happen all they're gonna run hard from the Guinea right to the very at all why can't I mean. Alex I mean I. We hear about this word all the time about strategy you know. Hate strategies strategy I cannot stay and strategy he knew I get harder strategy out what these guys got there. It is run hard in raced me in this race. It's like all that helped put two tires on the senate floor up and have this strategy rather than it is something that. And and have a whole bunch of scientists helped me out. Went to make the right decision. I just get so upset with that stuff sentiment folders foul. Back in the day racer I just want to see that hard core right pedal to the floor is now raison and that's why I'm hope announcing this time. So what it came time to make a decision on the radio when you're driving. And they say hey look I need to come in. Pit road into the laps but you know that your car's gonna go to other five or six laps. Out of that conversation work out I I won the conversation what I had I would got a great deal probably the race they want me to pick it up on our. Don't want to go I have to you know it's so we never conversation itself that may not lead to right we got three laps like gases that think you need to hit pit road right now. And ultimately I never go on as they should I'm not coming at. Well I've done that before I don't know how I have done that before and ran it out of fuel on the blacks yeah right. Tyler has a question yes or hanging out with Jody who is 45 minutes from Iowa's BUH yes the question for us. Higher esteem I was wondering when you're gonna get as the cup race there weren't. Oh I don't know what they're gonna have a that NASCAR folks who bought that racetrack now and I'll Brian France's and we own it so it's totally up to them. What they wanted to do it they love the track I know that and I know they've been working hard at improving things that make it better and better. But unfortunately I have hair a lot of stuff about it in the cup race there you know they. If you have a truck races and into the unity races is stuff like that it's the track still better than ever. But it's so dark comedy cup races out there right now. Ill or brilliant 36 of them up 36 cup races what about the all star race all star race is 37 the big race and they. Daytona the budget does she got to be difficult but she got. Another issue that's 38 weekend. So to add another one it's tough to what I was gonna pull off the calendar and they'd say she said you know we get one out mark the calendar we think about put Iowa in. Because a lot of the draw our point though there. Books like the technology that that turned out near the Norwegian pearl. For all of you to listen at home.
