Did you know? After hearing all week how bad Iowa was going to be because of the repaving, I have to tell you…I’ve seen worse. Hell, wait until New Hampshire next week, you’ll be begging for Iowa.
Decent passes, flat tires left and right, it wasn’t following the leader all night… and hey! Angry Ryan Blaney won a car race in 2024!
Better yet: Hooters Gianna dominated Italy while ARB dominated the NASCAR cornfields. Everyone wins! What a day.
Now, did I miss Mike Joy, Clint and Kevin during this little run? Of course. I know people love to bitch and complain about FOX’s coverage, but if you think the broadcast was the same without Dale Earnhardt Jr., you’re crazy. It was good, but it wasn’t the same. Come on. Don’t tell lies to a liar.
But we’re not here to be negative today, so let’s mix a little optimism into this weekly Meet N’ Greet and start the week off right…
… it’s a joke! We’re going to talk to Kyle Busch, and he’s literally more miserable than any driver I’ve ever seen in my entire life. Things are so bad that he even strangely left the door open for a possible Joe Gibbs Racing reunion in the future. Strange.
What other thing? I’ve got Hooters Gianna in Italy, OG NASCAR’s wife McCall Gaulding visiting Bikini Bottom (her words, not mine), everyone, and I mean everyone, hating on Ross the Boss Chastain last night, Dale Earnhardt Jr . officially killing the Wicked Witch of NASCAR last night. week And… technically this isn’t NASCAR, but you HAVE to see this accident.
Phew. Okay, I’m fine. Are you OK? Good! Let’s roll.
Four tires, enough Sunoco Racin’ fuel to get me from this Salem Hampton Inn to Scranton (Biden Country, I can’t wait!), and maybe a peace offering from Kyle to Richard Childress… Pit stop on Monday in the morning: the ‘You Built’ It, They Came edition is LIVE.
Kyle Busch wants this NASCAR season to die
Yes, I’m traveling the east coast (sort of) right now. I spent Saturday night in Georgia. I spent last night in Salem, Virginia at the nicest Hampton Inn I’ve ever seen (I can’t hide money!). We’re trying to get to Scranton today, which leaves us just five hours to Hyannis – and, in turn, Nantucket (again, I can’t hide it) – on Tuesday.
The good news is that I have an almost three-year-old traveling with us, so it has been a really peaceful, stress-free, calm, wonderful trip around the right side of this great country. Easy!
Where was I anyway? Ah yes, NASCAR.
Kyle Busch has had a terrible season. He hasn’t won a race since the Trump Administration (it’s called hyperbole, look it up), an old man beat him up a few weeks ago, somehow he’s outside the playoff bubble right now and he can’t stop. broken parts/crash on this new Next Gen POS car.
No one (other than maybe Kevin Harvick, who is retired) hates this stupid Next Gen car more than Kyle Busch. Guy despises him. He might as well have said, “This cheap car sucks and I can’t wait to leave it like Martin just did.”
Which brings me to my second point… Martin Truex Jr. announced on Friday that this season would be his last as a full-time NASCAR driver. After four consecutive years of speculation, he will finally retire. See you later, big guy.
Anyway, I say that… to say this:
Everyone was happy as a lark in Iowa!
I guess you can leave that interview with two different points of view (hey!)…
1. Kyle didn’t say anything bad or strange, he was just answering a stupid ‘media-fabricated’ question with the most unanswered answers of all time.
2. Or…Kyle is being held hostage at RCR, practically staring at the camera and BEGGING for someone to save him, and wants to get out of there as quickly as possible.
I, of course, choose… number 2! Duh. Well then:
Right now I’m in RCR, with my group of guys… with the deal I have.
Good God, Kyle. At least act like you want to be there, just for shit and concerts. If KeynoteUSA was courting me (YUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK) and my boss found out and said, ‘You know, right now I’m with OutKick with my group of guys with the contract I have in place,’ he would fire me. toward the sun so fast my head was spinning.
PS: KeynoteUSA HATES NASCAR, so that would never happen. If it’s not LeBron, Caitlin, the Cowboys, Aaron Rodgers or men pretending to be women, they don’t care.
Forward …
Well wait. If you want to weigh in on the Kyle Busch drama, feel free! Zach.Dean@OutKick.com.
Now, let’s move on… to some of last night’s best radio talk!
Hooters Gianna, Dale kills the NASCAR witch and what a quote
Wow, I don’t know, Kyle… maybe because you were in his way? Move! We have to go.
By the way, how about Denny Hamlin AND Kyle Larson sucking last night? Wild. Anyone want to guess who your points leader is right now? Someone?
Chase Damn Elliott! That’s how it is. Oh, you thought he had a bad year just because he only won one race? Think again. He is in the midst of the best season of his career, he finished third last night and hasn’t finished outside the top 20 ALL YEAR.
At the same time, he only has one win, one stage win and a measly 137 laps led. Remember when Matty Kenseth won the chip in 2003? Look for him because he may be passing by again.
Okay, a couple of quickies on the way to Scranton. First? Place this AJ Allmendinger interview in the Hall of Fame:
I mean, amazing delivery from AJ. Perfect. Stone-faced, doesn’t smile once, the perfect amount of awkward and awkward… A+ stuff.
Give that crotch hell, Tara!
Speaking of hell… The Wicked Witch of NASCAR – Teresa Earnhardt – has finally been defeated! It’s official. The paperwork is IN. It is signed, sealed and delivered:
I’ve written about this saga a dozen times by now. Seriously, this is what my life has been like for the past month. If you want a full and detailed summary, go ahead and click here. See you when you get back!
The bottom line? Dale Sr.’s wife, Teresa, has held the hostage number 8 trademark in DEI for two decades, ever since she and Junior fell out, but she did NOT renew it for next year, and Dale picked it up. . It’s yours, once again. Let’s roll.
PS: What the hell was Teresa doing with the N°8 air fresheners?
In fact, I know a guy who could use one after almost getting dirty last week…
My God. After that, you’ll be playing with the house money for the rest of your life. Do what you want. If you die, you die. You shouldn’t have gone that far anyway.
Play the lottery on the way home, go to a brothel, dress like Walter White and become a drug dealer, it doesn’t matter. You have already defeated death. You’ve won. Go live life.
And maybe visit Italy!
NASCAR’s wife McCall Gaulding visits Bikini Bottom
And remember, Ryan F–king Blaney is such an incredible thing to hear before going out and dominating a NASCAR race. What a life.
Well, that’s all for today. We continued on to New Hampshire, with a stop at Bikini Bottom along the way!
I see you there.
