Doug I believe your bin trumpet around the midwest all week were you right now but it. Yeah yesterday we were up again mortars being alone and I do not of the Kindle motor speedway and shame those. Where there today I'm actually garment Branson Missouri. Talking to age group. Traffic engineers that a transportation engineers association and the jury here press and so we're predicting what a. A heroin and go the whole. Point of breaks is expanding it. And getting the word out to in people that may not know about. And the breaks program the midwest Indy Kansas and Missouri out of don't think you've got a whole lot it. So we've gotten love and of course so that excitement that we've got here from the from Kansas and Missouri has been really really lucky. Super happy about in the in a deceptively can. Make a difference here did could really the word is the main thing it's like getting the word up word is. Right now there's about a thousand years ago I reared partner actually in the portable modem he would be zero vote what more. You know that you've been you've an openness in the summer and all of them straight or they'll just get the word about. And not other Peter Carter talked about scapegoat here and Umar and a wrong call or whatever race horse in the wrong quote earlier in the race. And I and John force it we talk about it so much. On this program it that just about every time that you think that you've got John force beat he's down he's he's washed up it. He has nothing left. That's what he loves it the most because he always comes out in finds a way to win and that's exactly what he did it. You thought it was so desperate that he needed to switch all of his team or not all of this teams but switched to of his main teams hill and Robert heights. And go completely different directions with them and then they come up when the race if it did there's no way that you can beat John force. And auto week to week basis this is it just does now. Well I think you know it just like we're not about last week showing a worst list. Mike now those guys just gel really well and I think you're gonna see Robert I let. I would Jimmy crack the shell that that way as well and then they have before so I think for issues you know. To mark the Medicare and they're now but ought to realize how important market that we got but it is the conduct swearing in and obviously you get this week and with. You know being low ET number one qualifier in the one admiration. Singing in the rain and all look into that he deeply cared to and you know unfortunately he's no spring chicken so well I don't know if you can begin actually decent years Albright if there was any church. I don't you most well known enough. The united no question about that and and now. He's found himself as it ends some sort of Internet legend what this whole thing if we could this whole thing is blown up. It why he's singing in the rain. What is bright sunshine out in Gainsville Florida it nobody really knows the blast him here and a couple minutes. And but now this thing is holed it blown up I read it. It what viral and people re tweet and then in FaceBook in this whole thing. I have no idea what he was thinking but if this is John force the road then Mac O right. Yeah well you know he just force get so excited. Which is amazing adept at 148 race and get excited liberation and you really does anybody you look at oak. Of course a little bit of your racism in the well limit is you. It let all the time. Unity he really get right back around or. Any and all it Egypt. He has so much enthusiasm for what he's doing and has ordered an accurate declaration. These moves easily if you Jim. You spent a lot of time with force off the track. And you're right so people would consider what he does a pull it wrong or a sham work you know age is just trying to get some attention. That couldn't be any further from the truth because it's the truth is like you said. Best just the way he is that's that's how he is 24 hours a day I mean if an 8 at 8 o'clock in the morning or 8 o'clock at night. You know we've he's just on high all the time. That's exactly right and I I've yet tell him when he gets on the sort of unsure I'm not yet on the field I think that he sure and tell myself I got and I. You know that we missed some but you know. Just what you look there's a thing of course one quick little story and I don't know until I'm sure you're out of the force. With my son John. We had this been on gosh I don't know price fifteen years ago so Jarvis maybe. Twelve or thirteen at the time we went through radiation in the article game boy game and actually racing up until he directly to the governor or not or didn't. Assemble what shall sign it unless we wouldn't order a pocket so we go there or never before leaving them going in the shop. Oil pharmaceutical click on the forest just telling the truth when women there. Force it and a just I'm conversation of my kids like they were best buddies hey we're majority club and and I were buddies and all this stuff. And when we got ready to leave I said you know month and we got to go to Costco legally force when he is attempting to do my son says. Well yeah I got one thing restaurant or okay unfortunate anything you know just creating an Israel and everything you're. John mice under and at worst. Force I don't in recent top you'll cry like he recently cardinal helped broker or so much better you know obviously my kitty would you like our younger so. He won't enforce subtler for a minute what kind of a blank look aerospace. And this show you what kind of person to enforce and force them. John let me carry the reason why I don't race. I don't director comes you're eager to that you could have already did you get a camera he didn't Eric you know and he learned. Heard two militants opened me up to my kid now that's John force on course is as good guys. Yeah and had the opportunity to talked to Courtney force on. Tuesday she was in town to promote four wide coming up at the end of April and it. What are the stories that she was talking about was that. She was designing your helmet. And John didn't want her to dishonor roll Helen because she thought it would it make it look girly. And he is he didn't want that that look out there. When she finally got done designing yet he went whoa wait a minute. I like that design error Ivins. You give me that our bureau global trade or something if he got it I mean he's even involved in. You know did the designing other helmets I mean he's right down to the it brass tax. John force racing and he's got a little bit as they have and just about everything is just an amazing individual. Serious you know he really isn't so excited for trying to get a 148 women equal winning games like 1800 Angel. So just amazing performance there are also there's you know Tony you murdered a little while since he won execution marker all or operation. You know that was that was good to Shane gray when trust that was that was a little better about little bit surprising to me. And don't get to see Ching win the race and then I don't think it was a huge surprise that they grew it in the early as an instinctive. For a start motorcycle event. There doesn't get really close to term out there aren't 109 in eater something generic term Oliveira and I think somebody's gonna get one of these. Hamels. Going to be is going to be real close.

Drag racer it's always it's stripper have to disclose problems so. Outlook important. Now you've become an Internet sensation once again. Force with the wholesaler rain deal I was talking to your PR folks here a couple of days ago they sent this thing is absolutely blown up. What the heck were you thinking if this thing is they're in the rain in Gainesville Florida under a bright blues then it's sunny skies. A won't get into the depth of it but basically. You know there's always been a cloud over a one Gainesville but it spent ten years or better. One at like 78 times I don't know and properly bad luck there over the years. That are just kind of a cloud over all of us ajar portrays have been and so many others and they are racing paternity don't. You go there you try to get motivated. And and done. You get up for the fight to go after it and out in what you do and it just. I don't know it just got left what we want to raise some. I don't know or played generated from. I got old you know followed around along so well and Fred Astaire and whatever that other guy. Gene Kelly disliking that song. But I know I just came out of nowhere. You know the end of I don't know why just Islam that's I guess all our program that's reimburse my wife. Well said there isn't so I don't whenever they don't want black shirt Vegas appeared to be here once or racist. But this was big debate to come back here it and it got personal meaning to being so many of my employees. You know. And in and it just happened. After after losing Eric metal and there are it's been ten years now and then had a better motivating factor in and still real good to be able to get into the winner's circle again. You know with that obviously. It will always be a party histories I did that had to be really really good knowing that that was back. And it's something that you know we don't talk a lot about our love for him and how we felt. Because. Our family. You know it's still hard but. You dole is small and batted step mom. These folks are great people John Matalin and end and I know how hard it is autumn and we just try to. To try to get to the race and fight the fight. And that. You know I don't release him back when OP Campanelli worked for me like my kid. Of course it John never worked over here with his bad. Obviously Jon Miller does at a very very they raced over here and and I know we're like you got to get the web but I got a great aunt are over there are. They've put it I hero card they do a great job with Pacman. There and out and a but tell Campanelli that we don't like portrait portrait of salt. They're term everybody's a big family and actually what it's all about it and we don't get went William sweet kid. Gyrate Lindbergh you know great kid opened come in and had a great job. That pressure put ought to know really drove the car before they just jumped and didn't. And then at all so. We're fortunate we did affairs which side by side race and that was what it was all about. It all live in. There's no better person I talked to about winning and winners then you John but Johnny Lindbergh hit is a guy that has. It spent a lot of time over top box called fractures open. Hour and a talk up a top alcohol funny cars in Europe and in the United States and has won just about everything in sight. So it. I don't think it's any big shock that he comes in your first time out and takes that thing to the final round the guy's a winner or winners just find out away. To get going through rounds and trying to win right. You know. Really had a good individual. Like he says he's got a lot to learn. I think it is pretty good job but would basically years ago I talked to forty years ago I shall restore to a guy in Sweden in harm's. Just it was a great diet he raced down there and and that that was about as much association however that was Sweden didn't operation Australian accomplishments but. Are what I bet this get operations. You don't I'm always looking for drivers for the future. You know I did no one can drive forever clued me. I pick our camp but who knows how long did you Eric Friesen goal went and a motor oil company just slightly larger drug lord I want. The civic contract all resigned competitive. I give governor racetrack got a Christmas tree I don't want I want so I've been fortunate. Wouldn't sponsorships together Oscar came over my daughter Britney adopt you'll. With our jobs that are at barbecues and Radek are. That national park street near what went out. With my daughter Courtney and of course Robert I would auto club. But it certainly it is a fairly interpret jocular for the future so I because. What purpose was Swedish I've I've met his mom and dad and his brother big family and we just got chuck men talked about a but upon her name in the future but the true to work harder Dolan portable play right now could be due to your shadow mode. And I even joked in the semis always going to be that great I don't know but I didn't have an opening. And it got an opportunity to go with an alleged owner Jim had but only at right there that fight like the battle so. But but I don't bear to deal. Well worth Austin talked. Jimmy peroxide. And that was part of the deal to get Jimmy back here what does. Lot of people but I just stepped up the road bigger paycheck. Well organized rejects but it was earlier about the future. Little consolation this family dog go up that opportunity. In the future I think it'll be great pressure to allow them to not make that happen. And doubt recorded at the jedi order bill. Also don't simulator. Like always gonna pay keen. I would go to our police complete restart alternate agent and put it up or put it through super cup. Alcohol. Clinic aren't put it right up to approach so. They're gonna put to get through the next couple years you still install. And out but it's great kid I've known him. Particularly but I knew that Jimmy when he was a young kitten you know so you are right John portrays him alive and well in the super dose. Couple weeks ago. You've come into the shop. And you decided that they're in they're needed to be up our crew swap in. And zippy comes over your team men Jimmy prod goes over Robert heights team and added that there's speculation all over the place through what the heck is. Forced Dylan is he's only two races there it is already swapping teams what the heck is he think it. And this guy you look like a genius force what came to this whole deal. Are no genius I think I work with all the edits and what. You know I speak to my draft and Jarrett currently a column. And and Ronnie props and then and then go to my sort of all the runs but the bears oligarchs. Recorded. Jimmy Clark caddie that I don't get it all together. We talked that's what we do that would that change would doubt it was just a simple move. To move them right then. With me. But you know we went on a road or Chevrolet and peak. We were at Phoenix which Republican up there would be and then we went we Chevrolet. Organize and Robert typical art show in in an Arab Detroit. Or Chicago Chicago Chicago and all the sudden. We come down to anybody to get back often to get off rolled in to get deep Saturday night at midnight. Got a good night's sleep bill Robert Wright to the shop early in the morning. Girls are on the way to get Erin nailed down you know that drill but right down there. And we start walking around and I don't upset you know may be portrayed as stupid we played but the truth there's a sort of pictures on the wall. And and our Gypsy at Robert Wright Jimmie brought. In the winners' work what do championships are won up to the museum there. And I'll Bergen it was just all we would Jimmy there's only with Mike Napoli Sami what would McCullough and then their job shaped women. I thought I'd I'd put it altogether wrong. I got to change. And there and out. It was like Portugal and you know what battery. They're no good and Roddick also gala to buried deport these sister actually. At that drove credit card and that's why orderly but it just an acre read write a budget line maybe a little but. I just got all emotional on the shots at boulder there I should bell what Robert I took what you think about it. Robert president. You know he's had. What are you wanna do Russia doesn't what I really wanna do so we told them everybody in the morning on Monday morning we had a lot of problems. Because. Interchange cars dedicate to roll cage device shut up higher in the new Chevrolet allows us out of Georgia fire and end the Iraq but. So yeah in the process. We also are the racial dilemma. And in HR it was an errant and then all the safety people and engineers and look at it wondered about overture martyrs web org are camp. Then end and our jobs and we had a major change and Brian Newton. So my shop that's why I get them all on TV. Of course America and they dirty and they failed. Overloaded at little wheat put it all back together swapped it right now the opening for trailers. There's Eminem wanna swap turnovers we just slot swap big jobs. Well they're different keep them work to digital striker so it was slowly began negativity. Are you at all everybody run on the shops or addiction program but the chassis shop the page shop. They all 12 o'clock and one week they put it all back together and then we got away insult wasn't very it was just couldn't. What I felt was the way it ought to be in the long picture how ought to be in the long run that just made it work no genius Serge just a lot of people agree or. And robbers Caprio I was I was low qualifier. He was number ten but he made the quickest front. I thought it was such a quick as serious regret 82 little sport I think somebody else I get ready to look at duke. You know for the record so and we got the web. And now.
