Townsend BellGUEST
And you were the bad boys of IndyCar.
Townsend BellGUEST

7 MINS LATER
Robby WoodsGUEST
We're going to go short course racing.
Robby WoodsGUEST
Like I know, cause I was, I was starting to like not get in trouble, but you could tell that I was, it wouldn't have taken much for me to go down the wrong path.
Robby WoodsGUEST
They were like, my mom and my dad were like, what are we going to do with Robbie? Like, what's he going to do? You know? And, uh, I came to him.

I'm like, we're going to go build this $250,000 race truck.
Matt MartelliHOST
Well, one of the, the side stories here, right.

We're going to go down a little side trail is, uh, you know, he's talking about when he rode and all like casual, like, you know, when I rode with Robbie Gordon, right.
Matt MartelliHOST
Right.
Matt MartelliHOST
And more or less like that was in the era where Robbie was going from, hey, I'm a good racer to being a total maniac.

I mean, I used to get into arguments with people about NASCAR.
Matt MartelliHOST
They would go, who's your NASCAR guy? And I knew the first answer I was going to get was going to royally piss them off.

And then he bought Robbie Gordon's old Valvoline truck.
Jerry WelchelGUEST
And that's where it all started.
Matt MartelliHOST
Yeah, and we'll talk about the conversion of that truck because, you know, that truck's still around today.
Eddie NauGUEST
But, uh, in 94, he started Crown Office Haas with Michael Crown Office and Carl Haas.
Eddie NauGUEST
And, uh, I think our first race in 94 was in Michigan with Robbie Gordon driving 07, it was, with Ford backing due to Michael Crownface's involvement with that.
Eddie NauGUEST
And then one of the real great things with that happening is my wife was able to join me as the scorer on that 07, 37, 94, 95, 96 season until we left after 96.

That was going to be my next question.
