Tommy Kendall

We were at Road Atlanta one day, and did something else the other day, which I don't even know if I went to the thing on Friday, but there's like a wrap-up party on Fri- Saturday night.

And we ordered an Uber from the hotel, which Dave also stayed at, and, uh, we were going to the thing, and we were standing out front, and the MC for the whole event, um, for a lot of the event, and Luff too, was, um, American racing driver and celebrity Tommy Kendall, um, who I'd never met before.

Um, I've seen him on-

The TK

Oh, no, I, I did not.

Um, so we, we got super lost, and I had to, Evan, uh, was down there, and I called Evan and said, "Evan, share your location, 'cause I'm sure you're there and I'm, we're really lost." So all I can say is without Evan-

You got lost with Tommy Kendall?

... without me, Tommy Kendall never would've gotten to that party.

I think I heard somebody say this.

I, I think it might have been Tommy Kendall back in the day.

He said racing or motorsports is the only sport where talent guarantees you nothing, and that, that's really stuck with me 'cause, I mean, it's true.

If you're, if you're good at soccer, you know, it'll come out.

Do you think you were ready for that at the time? Because you came in.

I remember Tommy Kendall telling me one time, he's like, hey.

you better watch out for this guy, Townsend Bell.

He's an animal behind the wheel.

That's got to be a record for a GTO IMSA car.

model of any sort and the other headliner was the Ford Mustang Cobra SCCA Trans Am road race car that was driven to 11 Trans Am victories by that year's champion Tommy Kendall and that sold for $825,000 so Coming up next month, we will be having probably a third quarter wrap-up and then later in the year, a year-end wrap-up, which will highlight the race cars that were sold and also...

Try to get the abacus out and see.

There may not be enough comments for us to do the total for the year as we are well on our way to $3 billion for this year after some record-setting sales in California and earlier in the year.

The crews were hard at work building stages and checking the sound system, all of those things in preparation for a big show.

My thanks to the staff at the Pebble Beach Concours and to my pal Tommy Kendall, who lent us his suite for the recording session.

Tommy is one of the broadcast hosts for the Pebble Beach Concours, along with Justin Bell, and they always do a terrific job.

So thanks again, TK.

Mad props to Jeff Gordon for winning the Freedom 250 IROC exhibition.

I also thought it was really cool that guest of the show, Tommy Kendall, was there as well.

And when we had spoken to him, he had no intentions on going back to racing.

So I'm glad to see that he got back behind the wheel.
