Kansas Speedway

And then they, they really popped.

Oh, I think when the fireworks went off and like the 85th minute, cause there was an event happening over at Kansas speedway, the crowd really got loud during the fireworks.

I don't know if it was because of the fireworks or they're trying to like be louder than the fireworks or motivate the team.

Cause you know, we're in the dying minutes there and trying to, trying to gut out a win, which, uh, you know, not, not a whole lot of those this year to gut out.

Vegas and Bristol.

If he's going to win a race this year, those two races are Kansas, right? I don't think he wins one if it doesn't happen there personally.

Yeah, I almost want to not rule out Kansas, but I think it's less likely at Kansas.

We see, you know, we always talk about the Texas fuckery.

I think Kansas has a little more fuckery than your average mile and a half, too.

I do think probably Vegas or Bristol.

And hey, you want to talk about Kyle Busch tribute schemes.

I think it's anybody's race right now.

So we talked about, we're getting ready for the Hollywood casino 400 at Kansas speedway, September 27th.

Don't forget tickets are available at Kansas speedway.com. You've had some good results at Kansas, but we know that the fluctuating weather conditions can throw you guys for a little bit of a loop.

Plus we've had another Midwest summer on that racetrack.

So yeah, what we talked about at the beginning of the, of the interview was, you know, you like this format a little bit better because it rewards consistency.

They haven't counted before, but now they are going to be

huge.

And then, you know, Lakeside Speedway, just a little ways down the road from Kansas Speedway.

These have been really great tracks for him.

Does that keep up in a couple of weeks when we get to some different tracks? He's shown the mile and a half so he can go out and win at Las Vegas and run well at Kansas and that stuff too.

I don't know.

It's interesting, but based on how he's been running lately, he certainly earned it, I guess.

And Bubba Wallace is now in the chase.

Bubba Wallace is sort of in that conversation, the fringe of where we feel comfortable sort of saying that they still have a shot, right? And then that eighth place last week at Darlington went a long way in helping that, followed up by that second place at Loudon, which was a pretty good run there.

He had a sixth place at North Wilkesboro as well earlier in the season, that ninth at Texas, the fifth at Kansas, but he always runs well at Kansas, sixth at Phoenix, right? So...

you know, he's capable of top tens.

So let's, let's talk about that then.

So the next six races, we've got worldwide technology, Bristol, Kansas, Vegas, Charlotte, and Phoenix are the next six.

Um, so you're thinking three out of those six tracks.

Three of the six.

I don't have as much confidence in Bristol.

I know he's good there.

Um, but when I look at Kansas, Las Vegas and Charlotte and Phoenix, yeah, that's, that's two wins right there.

And one of those, two of those four, uh, and then gateway would probably be my third, but

No." And the biggest thing that I miss is the unspoken words when we would race each other.

My last win at Kansas Speedway, 2022, my brother second, and there was one big slide that my brother missed on taking the lead, and now his tires are toast.

And when I caught him in the next set of corners, it was almost like he knew he was done.

"Go ahead, brother, you get him.

and the unspoken words when we would race each other, the back and forth.

I mean, my last win at Kansas Speedway, 2022, my brother's second.

And there was one big slide that my brother missed on taking the lead.

And I could see it, like that was his chance.
