I think he just usually did it on that weekend because it was an available weekend most of the time.

So is that the same weekend as the Speed Weeks?

It's the

week before the 500s.

It is the same weekend as Speed Weeks.

Speed Weeks starts on like the Thursday and runs until the following Saturday.

So it does overlap it.

Okay.

It sounds like this lawsuit, just like the NASCAR 23ILM Front Row Motorsports antitrust lawsuit that finally settled in trial this January, is going to trial as well, as there is little desire to settle.

And the trial is currently scheduled to begin on February 1st, which is dangerously close to Daytona Speedweeks.

But we'll see what happens.

[laughs]

Yeah.

Yeah, true.

And, uh, they won't race again until Speedweeks at Daytona.

Yeah.

Um, did you sit up last night and watch the Grand Prix?

No, go ahead.

Well, I'm saying, and then it's Speedweeks, right? Is that-

That's right.

Yep.

We have, we've kind of become part of-

You're kicking it off.

Yeah, you're kicking off Speedweeks.

We've kind of become part of Speedweeks now.
