The nation presented by Hercules tires ride on our strength and let's go right to the hotline joining us now flush off the women he's mimicking the 360s race. Marks look joins a fellow mark welcome back the way notion. You're really really good mark action that we talked you'll often after this one a second time winner of the result thereof how. How to go on Saturday just also Bulger told budget cycles Bulger weakened and he's back. It's actually a really good weekend though we won two out of the three night and Marek. That's a pretty big accomplishment was pretty early caliper Carter's or there and not Saturday night was. Kind of pretty easy garden because we were locked in in the top six and didn't really have to distress or shelled out was getting qualified and like similar a lot of the other guys had to that Erica that's pretty talks might try to get calls like take Ichi two two or three each. These showed it to it's pretty tough night. Thought that you stay it was like a great way to cents in the coming years he'd see everyone's new equipment. What's going on anything. Hitting new lightning exciting needing different that you felt mideast I always thought that that was like I guess at like a preview of the years com. Not really. Now that Ed actually wanted to bring new carpet. I'm in the same exact setup I have been there in the last four year I hate that saying little. Maybe maybe that's what makes this so consistent their cause we don't we go back with the same package every time or maybe you know just different great cause of death. It it doesn't get your years seen in jumpstart and having tech where thirty got you win this year out of six races so that doesn't. Does get pushed interceding on pretty good. Marc Carroll is one of these fascinating people to me because you're based in central Pennsylvania and conventional wisdom common wisdom would be all right go run your 7089. Before term raises and move up like no one else seems to do and central Pennsylvania not so easy when you're you're run a lot of 360 some traditional sprint cars. Yeah Iran's important races. My first question is how do you determine where and where were you go what what determines what you race. Well. I mean our our. Customer bases a lot of threes sixty racers and her. So I try and concentrate more on doing a lot of the 360 stuff just so I can spend more time at racetracks that. And my customers Herat regulate on the track of their and not so I will give them better and better information on get their cards right. You know so and so forth but that stores or tens of it's just getting so expensive in our area. Two run afford ten anymore it's it's just it's just tough for me to do that mayor. A lot of family owned great cars now are not a whole lot of right to beat her as well. It just makes it that much more culture and that's a little easier for me to get a 360 ride that some analysts. Might get out Patrick Daniel from Quebec Canada but he. He gives me that Carter racing in new York and can be done. And Herman Bryant scandal my partner in business he supplied us with a 360 stops and now unfortunately I have portents. It. Mark speaking and that the chassis business housing dying in scanning through years your FaceBook page yesterday and there was a lot of cars in victory Elaine how how's the business California. That's going really well actually eight days always a real good jumpstart our business and in the wintertime Erica. Especially after this Saturday we had. I had a total of five scores down there him. Usually that's creative work urge every night show. And the final night we had were coercion and show it at three in the top fives so. I was I think that's pretty good odd comparing how many other jets into them and we're we're very small. And that it now that's for sure mark what do we when we talk about the Chelsea's them and I'll qualify this by saying I'm not error and OK amen knock on radio guy that a race car looks like a race car barely tell the difference between him. Well no I know there was we cup cars NASCAR rum cup cars and sprint cars but at first the sprinklers. When it comes to under the Chelsea business and and I don't know and asking your secrets but how how much just as their percentage difference or how much difference other. In in there and it in the chassis is as you gall in the rules a little while you do this give you a lot of weight over a little wiggle room. There's a little wiggle room there there're there are all very similar. If you look at him it's pretty hard to know the differences between all the different types of Jurassic. Companies to put duck you know it's on how they're assembled in. And what. Types into being and you know sickness Susan stokes and what place you put him in and I heard just pizza consistency of their race cars and you know I I'd. And that you know it's just a preference thing and I think this far is slight. Customer service so I think we have a lot of that compared to most. Mark pullback tear your schedule what are some of their races that I cannot highlighted on the skit an encounter for this coming season. Well I'm gonna do about nineteen when he racers and Merrick new York and possibly Canada. I was 316 and then now obviously we run Saturday locally here in Orange grove which era. I they have so those are special shows and then. You know will do some. So important stuff like tomorrow starter races here and there. And then we're gonna do. I got out a silver crown ride for this year Monday's six in the dirt races so. I don't know Malcolm lane and to the old routine. And they're based out of New York so we're gonna do that in the kind of look at older. Well that's very cool Malcolm lane that's name from empire super spends way back now that's that's that's awesome. Yeah you you you should know him in center. We sat grub black rock however not one of the producers and I and I hadn't seen knives in Malin yeah added years and years after and up very hot dogs or is radio guys doing an ego and you don't know hot dog and Fries that's our program and I nudged dollars and there's a hall of Famer right there are yes now the the actually sure where actually dropped dormant. Because of his passion for four silver crown cars intolerance that is a huge guy actually got a lot. You're assured me there's more news that bracelet I'm glad I got to chairs or double. What those cars agreement is nothing they differ from a wing sprint cars that isn't there are some similarities or how to play. It's completely different about those saying it is third or so have Ian made just roll around they can just float around the track and put all. Fuel in the back it's. It's not like you've ever driven it's it's it's a little bit slower pace you gotta you can't just go out there and you know news hammer down and go right to different kind of learned that first couple or should I hit them where most don't girlfriend knocked up last that the. Don't know wait. In the rear of that Doug it's fascinating to me because because you're right that that we've we've joked around over the course of public general public guilt thanks but when your cars silver crown cars and then. I gotta be a huge change over the course of the rapes. Pollyanna here your log in 75 gallons of fuel around behind they're Ers. You know first half of that race doesn't. You know you can you can burn it off pretty quick that just those that person up there age it's just. He really got to be patient politically it's been an out pretty quick. I can only imagine you've got all by the way the trashing you look the car's going to drastically change over the course beyond what we normally do. I have Marcus always fascinating to check with a always enjoy the opportunity to talk with a view of what's the next race. I'm not sure we are talking about maybe doing double bowl down in Texas they're from there is yet opener. I'm not sure we're going to be able to do that are not. But we'll see if not maybe the grove opener all do support and but RC it and really doesn't get started until April stores like the tree sixty steps. You know exactly great stuff. Mark Webber should talk congratulations on the win none of these where the winds I guess I should say he's back continually does with a mach one Chelsea doesn't she goes builds a great race cars and appreciate you joining us. OK and I appreciate you having me on. That is really really cool marks about joining us here at how this like a sudden later settled but when we're not you and I were talking off the year. It's like he he finally he has a new truck there that just works really well for him personally he's a world class race cars aren't out. How big are the guys shows up anywhere he can win the race plan and you know and then looked but it's the mock what chassis business for 360s you drove in New York stood up there all of our super primary yeah that's that's amazing that's good stuff. Any he's ranks until crown sports kind of neat it's added it is true outlaw he really he really truly is that's for sure win this stuff away what we come back. We're gonna have a great conversation pat Sullivan is a historian of race announcer all around good guy knows a lot about sprint cars with a nutritionist regards to win the machines. With regardless of magazine Patrick joins us next. I am pregnant then you're live in the on motor racing network but now. Only the best go three grass they're coming to a trend here you're going to lose seventy. No matter where you're at the American sports car series is. Here it's clearly CS national. Anti socialist it's. Usually those rumors there 010 yeah bring its. Zenith. In his brain for a space listen why one recent boys dot com in the full rundown. At CES freezing dot com. I'm TJ NASCAR.

Education welcome back it is MRI on when mission presented by Hercules starters right out our strength we are having a blast project marks the joining us what's about to guess what. You can coaches work out. Racetracks around the country as an announcer but also in this regard midget magazine Patrick Sullivan guards a fellow American Oriole. But don't go well steel and I'm curious did you get a. Are known don't know where it's stuff we have to do around here that's our. Right nerves are building days off it's called the summer. That's right. Yeah it thank you guys by the way I was traveling north from. Ocala it was Levi Jones uses accurately loosened the entire. Broadcasted Daytona 500 you guys did a tremendous job as always creating as story and that is certainly made the trip a lot easier. Thank you we're bridge at a very much Greg we appreciate all of our listeners and it's it's great to hear Clinton like that that there's so many areas will wanna talk about but I think congratulations are in order first off Qualls broke our whole thing that's that's putting it on. It was unbelievable really you know Bob Baker called me and I was really speechless and you know I also really happy for my life because there's a lot of sacrifices ago when you. Gerri have a normal job and then he spent a lot of weakens or racetracks and she was as emotional side I was. But I suspect Levi Jones made a comment to be on the way of on the IndyCar ride home and they really rings true yes we have during the night. Career if when I was working. Was like working with the intentions of getting into the hall of fame and has had no EU. You do the best you can that the things teacher trying to do as a as a matter prizes. Than anything else and it is sometimes those things come. But you don't expect them. And secondly I think the thing that most. It was important to say is. I'm not Tony Eliot and that gave Caroline. And not turn my call but Carl whether. I mean those are the people who really put her on the line but the racers and mechanics worked hard I'm just delighted to be a part of the sports a great honor. Pat congratulations on me as well I'd feel like it without a doubt I'm on the board of fame in very deserving. And I think that you should give yourself more credit than I thought you belong with those I just that you're maybe behind the wheel. I've bumped India attracts all over the country in different events. How did you make here you're scheduled in how many races. On average you attend a year like bumping you in India and maybe California may be flirt. Counter rallies come about in week in and. Well I take it that the peak I was passing eighty to ninety races a year. And I started in Missouri when I was teaching at what is now Missouri they universe yeah it worked for a couple of tracks there and I was. Very excited to think continuing and Tony Stewart actually helped me I'd met him announced its first use expert currently it and in Lebanon Missouri. And then I I hooked up eventually with a guy named Brad Dickerson has been by announcing partner for. 124 years and then we really collect. And so people really started like what we were doing and then. Attract an atrocious and and we worked the you know old sixteenth street speedway in Indianapolis. Tony George gases into the IndyCar. Just we did that. Some of the tracks and asked if I can do NASCAR. In Syria of course like you do that I did raceway park of course for well over twenty years so. It just sort of happened as sort of evolved that way and do quite as much as I used to. But I still do a lot bit. He just sort of happened to him in in man was that it was and it still is. It really as we those those laws are here to talk about the relive and it is a dream dream job for me and I know it is for viewers while self. I'll with with all of that and as we look at twenty solitary man and I know you just for the weekend at Ocala and also got a daughter Barbara raceway park if you don't traditional sprint cars winged sprint cars this what are some of the the things you're going to be looking for as weak as we get get rule and into the season. Well I think it's a wide open to personal it is a wide open you say it championship. It's very interesting I mean Chad base was with a new team the most successful team and he sex history that the hopper's although his infrastructure. Remain in place I think he could score. Adjusting grant who had a tremendous weekend when they teenage. Crew chief if you will and Sam McGee. He's good he's a dark horse candidate for that. Chased doctrines been knocking on the door Thomas as a role it's really wide open I think that's incredibly interesting. Can anyone not got stunning shots I mean you know Jason Johnson. One not so last year obviously he's already won this year and they just he would Tony does with the all stars in is that continues to grow. The liberal excited about that. It's really nice in Indiana also win. We have that the trade off a lot more drivers are doing both. Give a lot of our traditional guys with the wing on I think you're really helps them a lot. It'd just interest of those series I mean. Johnny Gibson came out with a group of being at this USEC races. We'd just like sprint car raised Steve and and really liked all kinds racing. You elitist colony in spring car midget magazine about having more signature events in and higher dollar campaign events that I thought was really neat article. Maybe it's Sherlund though that listeners about it. But I love the idea when you wrote about how recently you want to go to concert you study your computers if you had to get in tickets we're gonna sell out and you. You'd think that there should be that kind of demand possibly fair race maybe share a little bit of those spots I thought it was really well written. Well really interesting one of the problems we have Lou if it comes to you say. And and they know this is that a lot of other big stars. Racing every weekend Indiana. Eleven now to Bloomington speedway for for 24 years. Limited Linkin Park as city Kokomo. Tri-State to have the sort of prostate. Boris berg. Do you sex stars raced there. In so. There's always that business about you know if the circus terms and it down one time you wanna see it. And so there can be some situations there where the fans don't feel quite the urgency. To see a USEC raised because some of the drivers are very familiar to them. Rolled out last I mean one or two times here people really want us to that there's a lot of pent up demand that. Now the other side of that equation is that you know. There's less cost probably Cusack in terms of travel sector but there's fewer. Higher dollar paying events. You know how to we create interest because sprint car racing across the board. Eighties individuals. That money that is that is so. Really worth going after. Traveling for. Keeping it affordable for the fans and it is really willing great. Questions. Years ago Russia Leonard took little bit all the non wing world championship. And it really included primarily in the midwest and California. That could reach about this and signature events could we come up with some signature. High dollar events across the nation. Debt became must see events for plants destinations. That they can't the issue here in Indiana sprint week is a destination for fans the Knoxville nationals designation for it. Do we have weapons. The I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll like that of the big. The big events are a lot of fun pat I'm telling you what I'm looking at the clock and we are way over to Ireland where groused I'm.
