3
00:00:22,606 --> 00:00:26,235
{\an8}Okay, this is Kyle
and his speech for school tomorrow.
4
00:00:26,318 --> 00:00:27,862
{\an8}Kyle Larson.
5
00:00:27,945 --> 00:00:28,946
{\an8}You're on.
6
00:00:31,365 --> 00:00:34,910
{\an8}As most of you know,
my favorite activity is go-kart racing.
7
00:00:35,911 --> 00:00:39,039
{\an8}I began practicing at the age of four
at a friend's house.
8
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,961
{\an8}My other goal for this year
is to be the champion at Chico.
9
00:00:45,212 --> 00:00:49,216
{\an8}After that, I hope to continue racing
for many years to come.
10
00:00:50,426 --> 00:00:53,679
{\an8}You better be a NASCAR driver
'cause you're made for NASCAR.
11
00:01:01,353 --> 00:01:03,189
{\an8}Sprint cars, Kyle.
12
00:01:04,106 --> 00:01:05,733
{\an8}Are you like your daddy?
13
00:01:05,816 --> 00:01:07,109
{\an8}Mm-hmm.
14
00:01:07,193 --> 00:01:08,861
{\an8}I can feel it.
15
00:01:08,944 --> 00:01:13,407
{\an8}Well, racing's literally like
everything I've ever known.
16
00:01:13,491 --> 00:01:15,409
{\an8}Kyle, are we at the races?
17
00:01:15,493 --> 00:01:16,535
{\an8}Yes, Mommy.
18
00:01:16,619 --> 00:01:18,829
{\an8}We would travel along the West coast
19
00:01:18,913 --> 00:01:23,209
{\an8}going to 50 to 60 sprint car races a year.
20
00:01:24,710 --> 00:01:26,670
This is my race track.
21
00:01:26,754 --> 00:01:29,965
{\an8}Thousands of laps probably
turned on that rug.
22
00:01:31,926 --> 00:01:33,511
{\an8}Whoa!
23
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:35,763
{\an8}Uh-oh!
24
00:01:35,846 --> 00:01:37,723
{\an8}Well, he was
definitely born into it,
25
00:01:37,807 --> 00:01:40,100
or he couldn't get away from it.
26
00:01:40,184 --> 00:01:42,311
Just because I was
such a big fan.
27
00:01:43,562 --> 00:01:46,357
{\an8}I was kinda like his hype-guy, almost.
28
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:51,237
{\an8}From California, Kyle Larson.
29
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,280
{\an8}He's like an overnight sensation.
30
00:01:53,364 --> 00:01:56,158
{\an8}Everybody is all of a sudden
saying, "Who in the heck,
31
00:01:56,242 --> 00:01:57,868
{\an8}and where did this kid come from?"
32
00:01:58,953 --> 00:02:00,955
{\an8}And even when he started racing,
33
00:02:01,038 --> 00:02:03,916
{\an8}it was like turning him loose
on the freeway.
34
00:02:03,999 --> 00:02:07,378
I never saw what was to come.
35
00:02:15,719 --> 00:02:18,013
Kyle Larson's gonna win
36
00:02:18,097 --> 00:02:19,807
in the Sprint Cup Series!
37
00:02:21,976 --> 00:02:25,938
The California Kid,
Kyle Larson going to Victory Lane.
38
00:02:26,021 --> 00:02:28,774
Kyle Larson wins a million dollars!
39
00:02:28,858 --> 00:02:30,985
Kyle Larson dominates.
40
00:02:31,068 --> 00:02:32,653
Kyle Larson is a natural.
41
00:02:32,736 --> 00:02:35,739
He can go
from a high limit sprint car on dirt
42
00:02:35,823 --> 00:02:39,076
to Blade models,
to NASCAR Cup Series.
43
00:02:43,581 --> 00:02:47,626
He's willing to take risks to go fast
and to push the limits
44
00:02:47,710 --> 00:02:50,921
knowing that there could be
a bad outcome on the other side.
45
00:02:51,005 --> 00:02:53,507
Oh, hitting into the wall,
Larson and Hamlin--
46
00:02:54,425 --> 00:02:57,219
{\an8}And-- oh!
Larson into the wall in turn two!
47
00:02:57,303 --> 00:02:58,888
{\an8}Upside down-- Oh! He's hit hard!
48
00:02:58,971 --> 00:03:00,848
{\an8}Oh! My good gosh!
49
00:03:00,931 --> 00:03:03,809
{\an8}Look at that.
He is flyin' when he comes in there.
50
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,229
Kyle was always looking
to find the next lane
51
00:03:07,313 --> 00:03:09,815
outside of the normal racing group.
52
00:03:10,316 --> 00:03:12,484
That's where all the speed is.
53
00:03:12,568 --> 00:03:14,695
How hard can you swing
and not make contact?
54
00:03:14,778 --> 00:03:16,655
So good.
55
00:03:17,865 --> 00:03:20,326
We're running out
of superlatives for this young man.
56
00:03:20,826 --> 00:03:24,705
One of the most dominant seasons
that we have seen in recent history.
57
00:03:25,873 --> 00:03:29,168
He may be the best
to ever drive a race car.
58
00:03:30,836 --> 00:03:32,504
Some more big news.
59
00:03:33,005 --> 00:03:35,966
Kyle Larson is gonna become
the fifth driver to attempt the Double.
60
00:03:36,050 --> 00:03:38,844
That means
he would race in the Indy 500
61
00:03:38,928 --> 00:03:42,723
and then NASCAR Coca-Cola 600.
That's 1,100 miles.
62
00:03:42,806 --> 00:03:45,100
It's been a dream of mine
to compete in that event.
63
00:03:45,184 --> 00:03:48,354
I feel like I'm in my prime.
I understand how tough it's gonna be.
64
00:03:48,437 --> 00:03:51,398
Now, wouldn't this be a piece of history
if Kyle Larson goes out,
65
00:03:51,482 --> 00:03:54,401
wins the Indy 500, turns around,
flies to Charlotte and wins the 600?
66
00:03:54,485 --> 00:03:57,196
That's Hall of Fame, right there.
You might as well induct him this year.
67
00:03:57,279 --> 00:03:59,698
It's an insane idea to be able to say,
68
00:03:59,782 --> 00:04:03,410
I'm gonna go drive in this new discipline,
in their biggest race.
69
00:04:05,371 --> 00:04:08,499
But maybe that's
just what makes me different, is that...
70
00:04:10,250 --> 00:04:12,461
I don't know,
I'm not scared of anything.
71
00:04:38,654 --> 00:04:41,490
{\an8}Where he is now, you can
get two wheels over that white line,
72
00:04:41,573 --> 00:04:43,867
but you can't have all four
over that first one.
73
00:04:43,951 --> 00:04:44,827
Okay.
74
00:04:48,122 --> 00:04:50,958
The Double is somethin'
that doesn't happen every year.
75
00:04:51,041 --> 00:04:54,545
{\an8}It's maybe only happened
a handful of times through history.
76
00:04:54,628 --> 00:04:58,465
{\an8}But Memorial Day weekend
is a huge race weekend,
77
00:04:58,549 --> 00:05:01,301
probably the biggest race weekend
of the year,
78
00:05:01,385 --> 00:05:03,512
where the Indy 500 kicks off
79
00:05:03,595 --> 00:05:06,140
around noon that day
here on the East coast.
80
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:11,395
And then, that evening, by 6:00,
the Coca-Cola 600 takes the green flag.
81
00:05:11,895 --> 00:05:16,358
But the Double is when somebody
attempts to do 500 miles in Indianapolis,
82
00:05:16,442 --> 00:05:19,361
hop on a helicopter, hop on an airplane,
fly to Charlotte,
83
00:05:19,445 --> 00:05:22,072
600 miles of Charlotte Motor Speedway.
84
00:05:22,156 --> 00:05:24,116
That's, that's quite a day.
85
00:05:24,199 --> 00:05:27,703
And the thing about Indy is,
there's a lot of pageantry.
86
00:05:27,786 --> 00:05:30,330
More than 100 years
this race has been happening.
87
00:05:30,414 --> 00:05:33,834
So, there's gonna be a lot of things
that are gonna consume his day and time.
88
00:05:33,917 --> 00:05:35,961
All the cameras are gonna be following.
89
00:05:36,045 --> 00:05:38,672
The fans are gonna be following,
and the hype of it.
90
00:05:38,756 --> 00:05:40,632
Excited expressions.
91
00:05:40,716 --> 00:05:43,385
Just smiles.
Smile with your eyes.
92
00:05:44,845 --> 00:05:48,599
I want to attempt it,
because not many people have.
93
00:05:48,682 --> 00:05:51,560
There's only been four other drivers
to do the Double before.
94
00:05:51,643 --> 00:05:54,855
Tony Stewart finished top ten in both.
95
00:05:54,938 --> 00:05:57,691
He's been the only one
to complete all the laps.
96
00:05:57,775 --> 00:06:00,152
I want to experience the challenge,
97
00:06:00,235 --> 00:06:04,531
what it takes mentally and physically,
and learning a new discipline.
98
00:06:05,866 --> 00:06:08,243
Good? Yeah? Feel good?
99
00:06:08,327 --> 00:06:10,621
Yeah, my head's like naturally...
100
00:06:10,704 --> 00:06:12,206
from turning left my whole life.
101
00:06:13,582 --> 00:06:16,502
It's just completely different.
What NASCAR has,
102
00:06:16,585 --> 00:06:20,589
is it looks like your every day Camaro,
maybe on steroids a little bit.
103
00:06:20,672 --> 00:06:24,676
But it's big, it's heavy, it's loud.
It's very analog.
104
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,971
Flip to an Indy car,
this is just pure out,
105
00:06:28,055 --> 00:06:31,433
how do we make
the fastest race car possible?
106
00:06:31,517 --> 00:06:32,935
This car's low to the ground,
107
00:06:33,018 --> 00:06:35,562
big, wide tires for maximum grip
108
00:06:35,646 --> 00:06:39,608
to slip stream down the straightaways
at 230, 240 miles per hour.
109
00:06:41,860 --> 00:06:46,323
{\an8}We'd probably have, you know,
a nurse already stationed on the plane.
110
00:06:46,406 --> 00:06:50,160
And I would assume on Sunday,
he'd be flying in the Gulf Stream?
111
00:06:50,244 --> 00:06:52,246
The Gulf Stream's
the fastest airplane out there.
112
00:06:52,329 --> 00:06:54,289
- So, it'll save you a couple minutes.
- Okay.
113
00:06:54,373 --> 00:06:55,624
It's here.
114
00:06:58,418 --> 00:07:01,130
{\an8}So, this is an opportunity
where Kyle is gonna be able
115
00:07:01,213 --> 00:07:03,799
{\an8}to get into one of the best teams
with Arrow McLaren
116
00:07:03,882 --> 00:07:05,801
in the Indy car series, as well as
117
00:07:05,884 --> 00:07:08,637
being one of the top stock cars
with Hendrick Motor Sports.
118
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,222
All right, whatcha got?
119
00:07:10,305 --> 00:07:12,850
So, on the wheel,
you're gonna see a display.
120
00:07:12,933 --> 00:07:14,768
Hit this button, click it.
121
00:07:14,852 --> 00:07:16,728
- This button's tighter?
- Correct.
122
00:07:16,812 --> 00:07:17,980
This is...
123
00:07:19,022 --> 00:07:20,065
Goes to eight.
124
00:07:20,149 --> 00:07:21,441
Yeah, that's fast.
125
00:07:21,525 --> 00:07:22,901
- No.
- Or that's lean?
126
00:07:22,985 --> 00:07:24,361
- One is fast.
- Okay.
127
00:07:24,444 --> 00:07:26,905
We've put together a team.
128
00:07:26,989 --> 00:07:29,867
So, in every form of racing,
if you don't have much experience,
129
00:07:29,950 --> 00:07:33,620
you always want to try
to get that experience from a driver
130
00:07:33,704 --> 00:07:36,915
that has raced in that particular event.
131
00:07:36,999 --> 00:07:41,587
Well, we get a chance to have Tony Kanaan,
who won the Indy 500
132
00:07:41,670 --> 00:07:46,008
and drove for Arrow McLaren in 2023.
133
00:07:46,091 --> 00:07:47,926
How often are you messin'
with the bar?
134
00:07:48,010 --> 00:07:49,928
during like, the qualifying lap?
135
00:07:50,012 --> 00:07:51,430
Probably every lap.
136
00:07:51,513 --> 00:07:53,223
No, that's what I'm telling you.
137
00:07:53,307 --> 00:07:55,517
- You're doing 400 things.
- Yeah.
138
00:07:55,601 --> 00:07:58,020
It's the longest lap of your life.
139
00:08:00,147 --> 00:08:01,940
Are you guys ready
for me to get in?
140
00:08:02,024 --> 00:08:03,984
Yes, we are.
Whenever you're ready.
141
00:08:04,067 --> 00:08:05,319
I'm ready.
142
00:08:07,404 --> 00:08:08,989
Let's give a couple laps.
143
00:08:09,072 --> 00:08:11,909
We'll swap over to Indy road course
144
00:08:11,992 --> 00:08:15,537
and see if you can feel the balance shift.
145
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:18,081
See you got loose there?
146
00:08:18,165 --> 00:08:20,918
And now look how much understeer
he's gonna have out of four.
147
00:08:21,001 --> 00:08:21,835
Too fast.
148
00:08:27,549 --> 00:08:30,177
It's making him have to work
a little bit.
149
00:08:30,260 --> 00:08:32,554
As soon as he said it's easy,
I'm like, okay.
150
00:08:33,055 --> 00:08:35,098
It's not gonna be easy.
151
00:08:35,182 --> 00:08:36,975
What was that last lap?
152
00:08:37,059 --> 00:08:39,102
Seventy point six-oh-one.
153
00:08:39,186 --> 00:08:40,562
I'll run a few more.
154
00:08:44,983 --> 00:08:47,236
That was a 70.2.
155
00:08:47,319 --> 00:08:50,280
Seventy point zero-nine-nine.
156
00:08:56,536 --> 00:08:57,746
Sixty-nine, eight-seven.
157
00:08:57,829 --> 00:08:59,039
Now he's having fun.
158
00:08:59,122 --> 00:09:00,374
You know what we did...
159
00:09:00,457 --> 00:09:01,959
You're such a... Yeah.
160
00:09:02,042 --> 00:09:03,835
we told him the lap time
and he hasn't come in...
161
00:09:03,919 --> 00:09:06,755
Yeah, you guys are the type. C'mon, shit.
162
00:09:11,134 --> 00:09:13,053
Do you feel like you're close to the wall?
163
00:09:13,136 --> 00:09:15,722
- Yeah.
- You look close to the wall.
164
00:09:15,806 --> 00:09:17,641
Yeah, I'm like touching it
sometimes.
165
00:09:18,392 --> 00:09:20,686
You might want to build in
some more margin.
166
00:09:20,769 --> 00:09:22,145
Yeah.
167
00:09:24,231 --> 00:09:26,900
If I had to pick one guy
who was my favorite growing up,
168
00:09:26,984 --> 00:09:28,026
it was Jeff Gordon.
169
00:09:28,110 --> 00:09:29,611
{\an8}Where's Jeff Gordon?
170
00:09:31,154 --> 00:09:32,155
{\an8}Right here.
171
00:09:37,619 --> 00:09:39,913
There's my Jeff Gordon outfit, pumped.
172
00:09:42,874 --> 00:09:44,251
Got it for my birthday.
173
00:09:44,334 --> 00:09:47,045
Went fishing
with my Jeff Gordon outfit on.
174
00:09:48,547 --> 00:09:49,631
First day of school.
175
00:09:51,174 --> 00:09:52,342
Jeff Gordon.
176
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,220
{\an8}...31-year-old...
177
00:09:55,304 --> 00:09:56,930
{\an8}I want to watch the stock cars.
178
00:09:57,014 --> 00:09:58,432
{\an8}- You want to watch stock cars?
- Yeah.
179
00:09:58,515 --> 00:09:59,391
{\an8}Me too.
180
00:10:04,771 --> 00:10:07,399
{\an8}My mom
videotaped my whole life.
181
00:10:07,482 --> 00:10:09,318
{\an8}Kyle Larson.
182
00:10:10,736 --> 00:10:14,156
{\an8}I am half-Japanese.
My mom's 100% Japanese.
183
00:10:14,239 --> 00:10:16,074
{\an8}My middle name is Miyata.
184
00:10:16,158 --> 00:10:20,245
{\an8}My mom's maiden name.
I was the last boy in the family,
185
00:10:20,329 --> 00:10:24,374
{\an8}So, to continue the name Miyata,
they gave me the middle name.
186
00:10:24,458 --> 00:10:25,834
{\an8}That was a lot of pressure.
187
00:10:25,917 --> 00:10:28,545
{\an8}Grandpa comfort you.
188
00:10:30,172 --> 00:10:33,216
{\an8}I don't know much
of my grandparents' story.
189
00:10:33,300 --> 00:10:35,552
{\an8}I know that they were
in the Internment camps.
190
00:10:35,635 --> 00:10:37,888
{\an8}You know, that was obviously a hard time.
191
00:10:37,971 --> 00:10:40,599
{\an8}I always loved going over
to my grandparents' house
192
00:10:40,682 --> 00:10:43,310
{\an8}and playing with my Grandpa Manjo.
193
00:10:43,393 --> 00:10:45,812
{\an8}He would smoke, like,
two packs of cigarettes a day,
194
00:10:45,896 --> 00:10:48,231
{\an8}drink like a 12-pack of Budweiser,
195
00:10:48,315 --> 00:10:49,775
{\an8}like every day,
196
00:10:49,858 --> 00:10:52,986
{\an8}and lived till he was like, 90.
Yeah, he was cool.
197
00:10:54,446 --> 00:10:56,573
{\an8}Are you gonna
work on the car with Daddy?
198
00:10:58,033 --> 00:11:01,745
{\an8}My parents are definitely
my biggest race fans.
199
00:11:01,828 --> 00:11:05,582
{\an8}They saw something special in me
and did everything in their power
200
00:11:05,665 --> 00:11:09,086
{\an8}to try and have me
have a successful career.
201
00:11:09,169 --> 00:11:11,797
{\an8}Start your bicycle!
202
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,091
{\an8}No, it's not a bicycle!
203
00:11:14,174 --> 00:11:15,300
{\an8}What is it?
204
00:11:15,384 --> 00:11:17,052
{\an8}It's a Indy car!
205
00:11:19,262 --> 00:11:23,475
{\an8}Like, I've understood
how big the Indy 500 is.
206
00:11:23,558 --> 00:11:25,560
{\an8}And especially how big it is
to my dad.
207
00:11:25,644 --> 00:11:27,604
I remember my dad always saying,
208
00:11:27,687 --> 00:11:30,232
like, he wants to see me race
in the Indy 500 some day.
209
00:11:41,410 --> 00:11:43,745
{\an8}Remind me, like, if I'm too tight.
210
00:11:43,829 --> 00:11:46,289
Which way would you go
with the weight jacker?
211
00:11:46,373 --> 00:11:49,418
So, this will take understeer away.
212
00:11:49,501 --> 00:11:51,628
And understeer is like, left hand?
213
00:11:51,711 --> 00:11:53,338
Yeah, tight.
214
00:11:53,422 --> 00:11:57,008
Trying to prepare him for things
that he's not used to.
215
00:11:57,092 --> 00:12:00,011
{\an8}A stock car gets a wheel
that is this big.
216
00:12:00,095 --> 00:12:03,432
{\an8}There's one button
with a radio to talk to his crew chief,
217
00:12:03,515 --> 00:12:06,351
{\an8}and that's it.
And then here, he has 18 buttons.
218
00:12:06,435 --> 00:12:08,145
Right? And the gear shifts are here.
219
00:12:08,228 --> 00:12:11,189
And you actually can make adjustments
inside the car.
220
00:12:11,273 --> 00:12:14,192
And that's the kind of stuff
that's different for him.
221
00:12:14,276 --> 00:12:15,777
How does it feel?
222
00:12:16,945 --> 00:12:19,030
I like how, where my head is at,
223
00:12:19,114 --> 00:12:21,408
but I just need
a little bit shorter straps.
224
00:12:21,491 --> 00:12:23,743
I'm just thinking
about hard impact, you know.
225
00:12:23,827 --> 00:12:26,079
- For the impact?
- Yeah.
226
00:12:26,163 --> 00:12:28,498
You're not crashing
so I don't know why you worry.
227
00:12:28,582 --> 00:12:30,959
I'm just saying, if I crash.
228
00:12:31,042 --> 00:12:33,003
Well, if you crash, if you remember,
229
00:12:33,086 --> 00:12:35,464
- if you're spinning, put your head back.
- Yeah.
230
00:12:47,225 --> 00:12:51,730
I don't think any of us race car
drivers think about the danger of it.
231
00:12:51,813 --> 00:12:55,901
I know how dangerous the Indy car
stuff on the oval can be.
232
00:12:55,984 --> 00:12:58,820
'Cause they're open wheel cars,
launching off somebody's tire,
233
00:12:58,904 --> 00:13:00,489
and gettin' in the wall.
234
00:13:00,572 --> 00:13:02,657
Or getting airborne and flipping.
235
00:13:02,741 --> 00:13:05,577
The cars kind of explode when they touch.
236
00:13:05,660 --> 00:13:08,121
So, you can't think about that stuff.
237
00:13:10,707 --> 00:13:12,459
{\an8}So, why?
238
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,297
{\an8}Because he wants to be
the best race car driver...
239
00:13:17,380 --> 00:13:18,632
period.
240
00:13:18,715 --> 00:13:20,258
Yeah, I know, I'm competitive.
241
00:13:20,342 --> 00:13:22,511
I want him to kick their asses.
242
00:13:22,594 --> 00:13:24,346
So, yeah.
243
00:13:36,149 --> 00:13:38,652
I don't really know,
like, what to expect.
244
00:13:38,735 --> 00:13:41,863
{\an8}You know, you leave the pit lane,
and then, yeah,
245
00:13:41,947 --> 00:13:43,990
{\an8}I mean, gosh,
once you hit the race track,
246
00:13:44,074 --> 00:13:46,618
{\an8}I mean, you're literally going
from like 60 miles an hour
247
00:13:46,701 --> 00:13:49,496
{\an8}to 220 in a matter of seconds.
248
00:13:49,579 --> 00:13:50,705
I mean, you have to commit.
249
00:13:50,789 --> 00:13:53,833
Kyle, go Gray 1.
You've been in Yellow map. Gray 1.
250
00:13:57,504 --> 00:13:59,798
Started to
get a little bit of understeer...
251
00:14:00,549 --> 00:14:04,094
like, I don't want to think I can
power through it, then it get loose.
252
00:14:04,177 --> 00:14:06,096
Try left on a weight jacker.
253
00:14:07,472 --> 00:14:10,642
Remember, he's going to be worrying
about four laps.
254
00:14:10,725 --> 00:14:12,894
On the weight jacker,
he wants four there.
255
00:14:12,978 --> 00:14:15,522
He needs to go to four.
Or he wants zero, he needs to go...
256
00:14:15,605 --> 00:14:17,023
- So, it's like...
- Yeah, it's a lot.
257
00:14:17,107 --> 00:14:18,650
If it confuses him, we'll lose.
258
00:14:18,733 --> 00:14:21,570
One more left on the jacker.
259
00:14:21,653 --> 00:14:23,697
Look, here he comes again.
260
00:14:33,832 --> 00:14:35,333
Wow.
261
00:14:39,004 --> 00:14:40,130
Go see Dada.
262
00:14:41,715 --> 00:14:43,466
- Oof!
- How cool is it?
263
00:14:43,550 --> 00:14:44,426
Cool!
264
00:14:52,475 --> 00:14:55,228
Tell me about your test in Phoenix.
265
00:14:55,312 --> 00:14:58,898
It's definitely sketchy going that fast,
but it was fun.
266
00:15:00,775 --> 00:15:04,738
Yeah, I'm... I feel like qualifying
will feel crazy.
267
00:15:05,655 --> 00:15:08,199
Mm-hmm.
268
00:15:08,283 --> 00:15:10,285
I mean, he's doing a lot,
269
00:15:10,368 --> 00:15:12,287
but when he's home,
he's very attentive,
270
00:15:12,370 --> 00:15:14,706
and shows me
that he's trying to balance it.
271
00:15:14,789 --> 00:15:16,458
And that's really important to me.
272
00:15:18,376 --> 00:15:21,212
When you met Kyle, what was he like?
273
00:15:21,296 --> 00:15:22,839
He was shy.
274
00:15:22,922 --> 00:15:24,883
I was shy.
275
00:15:24,966 --> 00:15:27,177
We've both come a long way,
I'd say.
276
00:15:32,599 --> 00:15:34,142
How did we meet?
277
00:15:34,225 --> 00:15:36,019
In racing. At a race track.
278
00:15:36,102 --> 00:15:37,479
'Cause my brother races.
279
00:15:38,521 --> 00:15:41,232
I started going
to our local track in Chico,
280
00:15:41,316 --> 00:15:43,693
and just spending some time there
on the weekends
281
00:15:43,777 --> 00:15:45,862
and at the big race Gold Cup.
282
00:15:45,945 --> 00:15:48,323
And it was 2011, we met.
283
00:15:48,406 --> 00:15:52,452
Your two-time Gold Cup champion,
Kyle Larson!
284
00:15:55,622 --> 00:15:59,292
I was 18 or 19 when we first met.
285
00:15:59,376 --> 00:16:03,254
It was like typical dirt racer,
but bachelor,
286
00:16:03,338 --> 00:16:07,008
sleep till noon, house a mess,
287
00:16:07,092 --> 00:16:08,927
eats out every day.
288
00:16:12,597 --> 00:16:14,015
{\an8}When I was pregnant with Owen,
289
00:16:14,099 --> 00:16:17,227
he was a bit of a surprise
early in our relationship,
290
00:16:17,310 --> 00:16:22,482
and I was a nervous wreck
for what people would think.
291
00:16:22,565 --> 00:16:25,527
And you know what?
He just was like, excited.
292
00:16:25,610 --> 00:16:28,405
And he was like, it's fine. Who cares?
293
00:16:28,488 --> 00:16:29,531
It'll be fine.
294
00:16:31,116 --> 00:16:34,077
It's definitely been a journey,
that's for sure.
295
00:16:44,838 --> 00:16:48,258
Had I not married somebody
with a racing background,
296
00:16:48,341 --> 00:16:51,052
there's no way they would be okay with it.
297
00:16:52,637 --> 00:16:54,305
She's the perfect fit for me.
298
00:16:55,223 --> 00:16:56,933
It's fun. We have fun.
299
00:16:57,016 --> 00:17:00,520
Kyle keeps me grounded,
'cause I get a little stressed out.
300
00:17:00,603 --> 00:17:02,981
Where do you get your stamina from?
301
00:17:03,064 --> 00:17:05,442
- Me?
- How do you keep going?
302
00:17:05,525 --> 00:17:06,735
I don't know.
303
00:17:06,818 --> 00:17:09,112
- He's addicted. It's like...
- It's a drug.
304
00:17:09,195 --> 00:17:10,905
Well, like, Chili Bowl, for example.
305
00:17:10,989 --> 00:17:12,657
- We were gonna be home...
- Might as well race.
306
00:17:12,741 --> 00:17:14,159
- No we weren't.
- for a whole week.
307
00:17:14,242 --> 00:17:15,118
No, we were not.
308
00:17:15,201 --> 00:17:18,788
And he decided two nights before
he wanted to race the Chili Bowl.
309
00:17:18,872 --> 00:17:21,040
You're making stuff up.
You got it so spun out.
310
00:17:21,124 --> 00:17:23,334
And you know what happened?
You flipped twice.
311
00:17:23,418 --> 00:17:24,961
First car he's passed--
312
00:17:25,044 --> 00:17:26,296
Oh, oh!
313
00:17:26,379 --> 00:17:28,798
That's not gonna
be good for either of them.
314
00:17:28,882 --> 00:17:31,259
Larson upside down
out of turn number two.
315
00:17:32,343 --> 00:17:34,179
Were you watching when he flipped?
316
00:17:34,262 --> 00:17:35,972
- Yeah.
- Mm-hmm.
317
00:17:36,055 --> 00:17:37,766
I was.
318
00:17:37,849 --> 00:17:41,811
Yeah, they don't see
what my brain has to go through.
319
00:17:44,773 --> 00:17:47,150
Oh, here he comes, here he comes.
320
00:17:47,233 --> 00:17:48,985
Ooh.
321
00:17:49,068 --> 00:17:50,487
Get out of my way.
322
00:17:50,570 --> 00:17:52,864
- Say, ooh!
- You're stressing him out.
323
00:17:52,947 --> 00:17:56,409
Oh, last lap? Last lap?
White flag fever!
324
00:17:56,493 --> 00:17:58,453
Oh!
325
00:17:58,536 --> 00:18:00,121
He's upside down.
326
00:18:00,205 --> 00:18:02,207
Say, "Yay, good job, Owen!"
327
00:18:02,290 --> 00:18:03,583
Yay!
328
00:18:11,633 --> 00:18:13,635
{\an8}Larson up top,
all the way up top, pushing.
329
00:18:13,718 --> 00:18:16,221
{\an8}He's on the outside.
He's in position, he's got it.
330
00:18:16,304 --> 00:18:19,390
Here comes Truex, they're gonna close.
Right to the two leaders.
331
00:18:19,474 --> 00:18:22,143
Coming to the line, clenched together!
332
00:18:22,227 --> 00:18:23,686
It's that close!
333
00:18:23,770 --> 00:18:26,523
It's Larson!
334
00:18:26,606 --> 00:18:28,817
Just like a horse race, by a nose.
335
00:18:28,900 --> 00:18:31,402
- I saw it.
- Zero point zero-zero.
336
00:18:35,281 --> 00:18:36,282
Yeah!
337
00:18:36,366 --> 00:18:38,368
The month of May is gonna be
great for us.
338
00:18:38,451 --> 00:18:40,537
So, hopefully
this just starts some momentum.
339
00:18:40,620 --> 00:18:43,081
Kyle Larson wins in Kansas.
340
00:18:44,082 --> 00:18:45,917
Your points leader, Kyle Larson,
341
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,045
who is now ahead in the championship
entering the month of May
342
00:18:49,128 --> 00:18:53,091
{\an8}where he is ready to do the Double,
Indy 500 and the Coke 600.
343
00:18:53,174 --> 00:18:56,761
{\an8}He's got a fast McLaren,
and he knows he can win almost any race.
344
00:18:59,764 --> 00:19:02,183
{\an8}Obviously,
try to hit your mark every time.
345
00:19:02,267 --> 00:19:03,184
{\an8}Mm-hmm.
346
00:19:03,268 --> 00:19:07,272
{\an8}And the biggest thing for you is
not to leave when they drop.
347
00:19:07,355 --> 00:19:08,398
So, they'll drop...
348
00:19:08,481 --> 00:19:10,191
- And the fuel's still gonna be in.
- Okay.
349
00:19:27,584 --> 00:19:29,168
About six inches short.
350
00:19:30,295 --> 00:19:32,672
The whole month of May,
I don't know that we'll see you.
351
00:19:32,755 --> 00:19:33,882
You'll be very busy.
352
00:19:33,965 --> 00:19:37,010
I basically be living in Indiana
for a couple weeks.
353
00:19:37,093 --> 00:19:38,595
I'll probably have my motor home there.
354
00:19:38,678 --> 00:19:40,138
With three kids and a wife?
355
00:19:40,221 --> 00:19:43,057
I know. I already tried
talking her out of like...
356
00:19:43,141 --> 00:19:45,518
We'll have the kids there the whole time.
357
00:19:47,020 --> 00:19:51,608
{\an8}We are helicopter...
It's me, you, Katelyn...
358
00:19:51,691 --> 00:19:55,570
Assuming Katelyn is good with the kids,
with the parents.
359
00:19:55,653 --> 00:19:57,864
- You just have to run this by her.
- Okay.
360
00:19:57,947 --> 00:19:59,032
She's the boss.
361
00:20:09,083 --> 00:20:12,086
Try to come in deeper,
and then, slam.
362
00:20:12,170 --> 00:20:14,464
- Sunday...
- Race day?
363
00:20:14,547 --> 00:20:17,634
Race day. Our biggest thing is,
right now,
364
00:20:17,717 --> 00:20:19,677
we've got a 4:15 out.
365
00:20:19,761 --> 00:20:23,848
We're lookin' at if they would allow you
to miss the Charlotte start,
366
00:20:23,932 --> 00:20:27,185
which I don't think they will,
because it's not a medical waiver.
367
00:20:27,268 --> 00:20:30,855
And that, you have to start every one
to get to the playoffs.
368
00:20:30,939 --> 00:20:32,649
- So...
- You just tell me where to be.
369
00:20:32,732 --> 00:20:33,858
I'll be there.
370
00:20:33,942 --> 00:20:37,654
His goal is to win NASCAR races
and win the NASCAR championship.
371
00:20:37,737 --> 00:20:40,323
That's his day job.
He can't forget that.
372
00:20:40,406 --> 00:20:42,408
By the way, can you remind him
of that constantly?
373
00:20:49,999 --> 00:20:51,376
That was a good one, Kyle.
374
00:20:51,459 --> 00:20:53,544
If you ask any Indy car driver
375
00:20:55,088 --> 00:20:58,591
what would they do to win this race,
I don't think it is all about that.
376
00:20:58,675 --> 00:21:02,470
The biggest race in the world,
the fastest.
377
00:21:02,553 --> 00:21:04,973
And if you win, it changes your life.
378
00:21:17,485 --> 00:21:19,779
{\an8}Every moment, we need to do our job.
379
00:21:19,862 --> 00:21:22,156
You're thinking 10 steps ahead,
you're too far ahead.
380
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:23,700
Make good decisions
when it happens.
381
00:21:23,783 --> 00:21:26,035
Losing four seconds under green
is way better
382
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,038
than having a big mistake
that'll just compound on itself.
383
00:21:29,122 --> 00:21:30,665
Let's keep ourselves in the game.
384
00:21:31,791 --> 00:21:35,670
Yes, the Double
can be an element of distraction.
385
00:21:35,753 --> 00:21:39,966
{\an8}But that's inspiring
that someone is gonna take those risks
386
00:21:40,049 --> 00:21:44,595
{\an8}and the challenge and the sacrifice and
everything that comes along with that,
387
00:21:44,679 --> 00:21:46,305
{\an8}to aspire for greatness.
388
00:21:48,766 --> 00:21:50,852
Still tight, #22
your push, here's your push,
389
00:21:50,935 --> 00:21:52,353
still there, clear.
390
00:21:53,980 --> 00:21:55,773
Go, go, go, go!
391
00:21:55,857 --> 00:21:58,609
For Kyle, this also
marks a huge three weeks for him
392
00:21:58,693 --> 00:22:00,445
as he gets ready to go to Indianapolis.
393
00:22:00,528 --> 00:22:03,406
Cliff Daniels told me this afternoon,
they're trying not to look ahead.
394
00:22:03,489 --> 00:22:06,367
Because if they do that,
and focus on all the external activity
395
00:22:06,451 --> 00:22:10,329
surrounding Kyle's trip to Indianapolis,
then that opens the door for mistakes.
396
00:22:11,205 --> 00:22:14,751
{\an8}This'll be Larson's seventh
stage win of the season.
397
00:22:14,834 --> 00:22:16,544
{\an8}He is on great pace.
398
00:22:17,712 --> 00:22:19,005
Here he comes.
399
00:22:19,088 --> 00:22:21,466
Your pace really isn't bad right now.
400
00:22:21,549 --> 00:22:24,343
So, whatever you're doin' to make it work,
keep doin' it.
401
00:22:24,427 --> 00:22:26,804
How many laps to go?
402
00:22:26,888 --> 00:22:28,806
Oh, he's around.
403
00:22:28,890 --> 00:22:30,183
Larson in the wall.
404
00:22:30,266 --> 00:22:32,435
Left rear flat tire.
405
00:22:32,935 --> 00:22:35,188
That will bring out
a caution that left two...
406
00:22:35,271 --> 00:22:38,816
...struck in front, right back in here...
407
00:22:38,900 --> 00:22:40,651
You see that left rear tire.
408
00:22:40,735 --> 00:22:42,820
Give me a fuckin' screwdriver, here.
409
00:22:44,822 --> 00:22:46,824
You're not gonna be able to fix that.
410
00:22:46,908 --> 00:22:48,409
I think we're done, right?
411
00:22:59,462 --> 00:23:00,963
If you haven't seen it yet.
412
00:23:01,047 --> 00:23:03,132
- How many points?
- I'm still up 30?
413
00:23:03,216 --> 00:23:04,509
Wow.
414
00:23:04,592 --> 00:23:06,427
Well, the 19 had trouble and...
415
00:23:06,511 --> 00:23:09,597
If I'd have just fuckin' finished,
I'd be up like 50-somethin'.
416
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,026
...qualifying. You could use
as many tires as you want.
417
00:23:22,110 --> 00:23:23,611
However you want. So, that's...
418
00:23:42,713 --> 00:23:46,759
I was winning a lot
from nine to fourteen.
419
00:23:46,843 --> 00:23:49,178
It's Kyle Larson, the leader...
420
00:23:49,262 --> 00:23:51,389
I just wanted to race for a living.
421
00:23:51,472 --> 00:23:55,143
So, I knew that I needed
to get out of California,
422
00:23:55,226 --> 00:23:58,062
because Jeff Gordon
kind of paved that way.
423
00:23:58,146 --> 00:24:00,648
You know, he moved
from Northern California to Indiana.
424
00:24:00,731 --> 00:24:02,483
So, that was kind of the path.
425
00:24:09,448 --> 00:24:13,411
Second year away from home,
living in Indianapolis.
426
00:24:14,328 --> 00:24:16,539
I raced like 120 times that year.
427
00:24:16,622 --> 00:24:20,668
But I will say, when I was not racing,
we were having a great time.
428
00:24:20,751 --> 00:24:22,962
Surprised, but not surprised
429
00:24:23,045 --> 00:24:25,923
that I got in trouble
for underage drinking.
430
00:24:26,007 --> 00:24:30,845
Yeah, this is my prison band.
431
00:24:30,928 --> 00:24:34,599
My face definitely looks like
my career's over, right there.
432
00:24:38,311 --> 00:24:41,272
{\an8}Eldora, 2011.
If I had to pick one night
433
00:24:41,355 --> 00:24:45,193
that really paved the path
of my career, it'd be this one.
434
00:24:45,276 --> 00:24:48,154
That is when I started meeting
with different NASCAR teams.
435
00:24:48,237 --> 00:24:51,908
and ultimately signed with Chip Ganassi
a couple months later.
436
00:24:54,327 --> 00:24:56,704
Smoke goes away on the Larson car.
437
00:24:56,787 --> 00:24:59,040
Now he's racing Jeff Gordon
for second.
438
00:24:59,123 --> 00:25:00,208
Pushin' over.
439
00:25:00,291 --> 00:25:01,959
Yeah, that was quite a move.
440
00:25:02,043 --> 00:25:03,836
Jeff Gordon thought that he had that spot.
441
00:25:04,962 --> 00:25:08,883
I go back to our relationship now,
you know, and how we laugh about it.
442
00:25:08,966 --> 00:25:12,595
How, you know, here's a guy
that you grow up admiring,
443
00:25:12,678 --> 00:25:16,641
and yet, all he wanted to do
is kick my butt on the race track.
444
00:25:17,975 --> 00:25:20,394
Kyle Larson is just not gonna give up.
445
00:25:20,478 --> 00:25:22,021
Look at Gordon.
446
00:25:23,189 --> 00:25:25,024
That means a lot, right there.
447
00:25:28,694 --> 00:25:31,197
I feel like
you're so young you don't really know,
448
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,282
like, how big of a moment
it actually is.
449
00:25:33,366 --> 00:25:35,576
As you gain more experience
and you realize,
450
00:25:35,660 --> 00:25:38,412
like, how big and
important some wins are.
451
00:25:38,496 --> 00:25:40,957
That's when I think the emotion
gets even higher.
452
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:42,625
{\an8}From the age of five,
453
00:25:42,708 --> 00:25:46,128
{\an8}Kyle Larson has only wanted
to be a race car driver.
454
00:25:46,212 --> 00:25:49,632
{\an8}And now, as he comes
to the checkered flag,
455
00:25:49,715 --> 00:25:53,010
{\an8}Kyle Larson's gonna win
in the Sprint Cup Series!
456
00:25:54,512 --> 00:25:56,764
I remember being
in Victory Lane, like,
457
00:25:56,847 --> 00:25:58,474
'cause I had, you know,
been screaming
458
00:25:58,557 --> 00:26:01,227
'cause I was so excited,
that like, finally once I stood up
459
00:26:01,310 --> 00:26:04,438
and got out of the car,
I was like, extremely light-headed.
460
00:26:04,522 --> 00:26:06,524
Kyle Larson in Victory Lane.
461
00:26:06,607 --> 00:26:10,569
Yeah, I mean, there's no real thing
that compares to your first win.
462
00:26:23,249 --> 00:26:27,712
{\an8}There's something
about Indianapolis that's just different.
463
00:26:27,795 --> 00:26:30,339
{\an8}We're gonna practice from noon to six,
464
00:26:30,423 --> 00:26:33,843
{\an8}you know, Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
465
00:26:33,926 --> 00:26:37,346
Compared to the other drivers there,
as far as experience,
466
00:26:37,430 --> 00:26:40,474
he is limited
on the amount of laps he has there.
467
00:26:40,558 --> 00:26:44,562
You know, if we have rain a couple days,
that can certainly set us behind.
468
00:26:44,645 --> 00:26:46,939
That's what concerns me the most.
469
00:27:01,037 --> 00:27:03,831
If the Indy 500
were tomorrow, would you run it?
470
00:27:05,166 --> 00:27:06,584
I don't know-- Yeah, I would--
471
00:27:06,667 --> 00:27:10,504
But no, I don't think that I would
do very good at this point, so.
472
00:27:10,588 --> 00:27:14,008
If it'd hurry up and just stop
fuckin' raining and I could get out there.
473
00:27:19,889 --> 00:27:22,016
Hey, big boy. You don't feel good?
474
00:27:22,099 --> 00:27:23,184
Yeah.
475
00:27:23,267 --> 00:27:25,644
I'm gonna take Cooper to the nurse.
476
00:27:25,728 --> 00:27:28,147
Yeah, I gotta
go get in the car here soon.
477
00:27:28,230 --> 00:27:30,232
Come on, Cooper.
You want to go see your ears?
478
00:27:30,316 --> 00:27:31,359
Check 'em?
479
00:27:33,152 --> 00:27:34,362
See you in a bit.
480
00:27:34,445 --> 00:27:37,239
It's been a fun
Indy 500 experience so far.
481
00:27:37,323 --> 00:27:38,657
A lot of nothing.
482
00:27:40,576 --> 00:27:41,786
Lot of waiting.
483
00:27:41,869 --> 00:27:44,538
Yeah, I don't know.
I just thought we'd get more laps.
484
00:27:52,129 --> 00:27:54,507
As soon as the car gets here,
you can get ready.
485
00:27:55,424 --> 00:27:56,926
How's the weather?
486
00:27:57,009 --> 00:27:59,303
Where are we? Oh, blue dot.
487
00:27:59,387 --> 00:28:01,180
What time you think
it's gonna get here?
488
00:28:01,263 --> 00:28:03,265
'Bout an hour, hour and 15 minutes.
489
00:28:12,942 --> 00:28:15,027
Oh, no, a big crash!
490
00:28:15,111 --> 00:28:18,239
That's Linus Lundqvist, into the wall.
The rookie.
491
00:28:19,448 --> 00:28:20,533
Yellow flag.
492
00:28:20,616 --> 00:28:21,784
- Uh-oh.
- Turn two.
493
00:28:21,867 --> 00:28:23,411
- Who's out?
- That's Linus.
494
00:28:23,494 --> 00:28:24,954
You joined the club now.
495
00:28:25,037 --> 00:28:27,081
The ones that haven't hit the wall.
496
00:28:28,749 --> 00:28:30,084
Mike, you good? Is the car good?
497
00:28:31,752 --> 00:28:33,754
Comin' to you spotters.
Install out.
498
00:28:38,801 --> 00:28:40,302
This is Kyle Larson.
499
00:28:40,386 --> 00:28:42,012
Everybody's keen to get out there.
500
00:28:42,096 --> 00:28:44,432
Everyone's lookin'
at the same radar that we are.
501
00:28:44,515 --> 00:28:46,100
They know that it's coming.
502
00:28:47,518 --> 00:28:49,186
Fifth gear out of turn three.
503
00:28:49,270 --> 00:28:51,939
Oh, shit, he missed one.
504
00:28:55,651 --> 00:28:57,361
Need to talk to him about the brakes.
505
00:28:57,445 --> 00:28:59,613
As much as he's hitting the brakes,
506
00:28:59,697 --> 00:29:01,365
we cannot heat up
all the uprights and shit,
507
00:29:01,449 --> 00:29:02,992
he's gonna lose speed in the race.
508
00:29:05,911 --> 00:29:09,832
He looks quite nervous, but I'm not sure
if it's the driver or the car.
509
00:29:09,915 --> 00:29:11,083
Yeah, copy.
510
00:29:13,461 --> 00:29:15,796
See how much he's struggling to understand
511
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:17,923
where do I shift, why do I lift here?
512
00:29:18,007 --> 00:29:19,508
That's the price of a rookie.
513
00:29:21,218 --> 00:29:24,054
A fast rookie. A guy that is really smart,
he's a champion.
514
00:29:24,138 --> 00:29:27,600
It's hard for him to cope that it's
not really what you want it to do
515
00:29:27,683 --> 00:29:30,102
until he understands the process.
516
00:29:30,603 --> 00:29:32,646
We are yellow flag, everyone.
517
00:29:32,730 --> 00:29:35,983
Very light moisture in turn four.
518
00:29:36,066 --> 00:29:37,693
We'll get this time trial.
519
00:29:37,776 --> 00:29:40,905
Just to give you an update, Kyle,
there's a couple more cells comin',
520
00:29:40,988 --> 00:29:43,782
so we're a little nervous.
That's what it shows.
521
00:29:43,866 --> 00:29:44,867
Okay.
522
00:29:44,950 --> 00:29:47,578
On the mark's good.
Car to the wall by an inch.
523
00:29:47,661 --> 00:29:51,207
I should've had you guys remind me
what gears and stuff you want me to be in.
524
00:29:51,290 --> 00:29:53,042
It was clash and boil,
525
00:29:53,125 --> 00:29:55,836
like I should be in sixth,
and my bad there.
526
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,007
All right, we're done here, Kyle.
527
00:30:02,468 --> 00:30:06,180
{\an8}I feel like my brake pedal
travels, like super far,
528
00:30:06,263 --> 00:30:07,890
- obviously, before it engages.
- Yeah.
529
00:30:07,973 --> 00:30:10,184
{\an8}Your brake pedal, like on the oval,
530
00:30:10,267 --> 00:30:12,228
{\an8}it's got a shit-ton of travel, or--
531
00:30:12,311 --> 00:30:13,437
{\an8}- A lot.
- Yeah.
532
00:30:13,521 --> 00:30:16,106
{\an8}- Like, inches before it...
- Like...
533
00:30:16,190 --> 00:30:18,025
{\an8}- Yeah, okay.
- And then, it just works here.
534
00:30:18,108 --> 00:30:19,026
Okay.
535
00:30:19,109 --> 00:30:20,361
- It sucks.
- Yeah, it feels...
536
00:30:20,444 --> 00:30:21,278
Horrible.
537
00:30:21,362 --> 00:30:23,739
- Qualifying, it does not work.
- Yeah.
538
00:30:23,822 --> 00:30:25,074
Which is fine. I mean,
539
00:30:25,157 --> 00:30:27,493
if you're going for the brake,
you're probably crashing anyways.
540
00:30:41,757 --> 00:30:44,260
I have a dress picked out
for Audrey today.
541
00:30:44,343 --> 00:30:47,179
They do like family pictures
after qualifying next to the car.
542
00:30:47,263 --> 00:30:49,348
So, I said to pick out something nice.
543
00:30:49,431 --> 00:30:52,142
You have to wear a dress.
We gotta take a good picture today.
544
00:30:52,226 --> 00:30:55,229
I'm not taking a picture!
545
00:30:55,312 --> 00:30:56,313
You have to.
546
00:30:56,397 --> 00:30:57,565
Well, guess what? I'm not.
547
00:30:57,648 --> 00:31:00,943
I'm not wearing something cute.
548
00:31:01,026 --> 00:31:02,152
Why?
549
00:31:02,236 --> 00:31:04,154
I don't like being cute.
550
00:31:04,238 --> 00:31:05,614
But you're so cute.
551
00:31:05,698 --> 00:31:07,199
No, I'm not! Ah!
552
00:31:11,870 --> 00:31:14,248
We'll play in a second. Can you just...
553
00:31:14,331 --> 00:31:17,209
There is nothing on Earth like qualifying
554
00:31:17,293 --> 00:31:19,420
for the Indy 500.
555
00:31:19,503 --> 00:31:22,881
Four laps,
your average speed will set the order.
556
00:31:22,965 --> 00:31:26,885
Thirty-four cars going for 33 spots.
557
00:31:29,096 --> 00:31:33,976
Qualifying day for me at this place
is the worst day of your life.
558
00:31:34,059 --> 00:31:36,895
You can't have a mishap, otherwise
you're not even starting the race
559
00:31:36,979 --> 00:31:39,023
and your day is over.
You're not coming back.
560
00:31:39,106 --> 00:31:40,608
- Good luck.
- Thanks.
561
00:31:41,775 --> 00:31:46,572
Look at this. Look at
the throng around 31-year-old American
562
00:31:47,072 --> 00:31:49,742
NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Larson,
563
00:31:49,825 --> 00:31:52,661
as his turn for qualifying
will be coming up shortly.
564
00:31:52,745 --> 00:31:56,165
Two cars after this man,
Rinus VeeKay.
565
00:31:58,792 --> 00:32:01,045
Oh, no! Rinus VeeKay!
566
00:32:01,128 --> 00:32:04,173
...on the track, hit the barrier...
567
00:32:06,383 --> 00:32:07,676
Who was that?
568
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,971
That was Veekay.
Got into the wall out of turn three.
569
00:32:11,055 --> 00:32:15,184
So, it's worth reminding,
when you see these crashes,
570
00:32:15,267 --> 00:32:19,063
these are in excess
of 200 miles an hour.
571
00:32:23,651 --> 00:32:25,361
Chris, we'll go ahead and fire up.
572
00:32:25,444 --> 00:32:26,945
Fire up, please.
573
00:32:27,988 --> 00:32:29,907
All right, Kyle, still the same plan.
574
00:32:34,912 --> 00:32:38,916
NASCAR Cup Series champion
and superstar Kyle Lawson.
575
00:32:38,999 --> 00:32:40,626
Let's go for a ride.
576
00:32:41,669 --> 00:32:43,295
Oh, and by the way,
did we mention
577
00:32:43,379 --> 00:32:45,214
that he's gonna do the All-Star race?
578
00:32:45,297 --> 00:32:48,217
He's gotta hop on a chopper,
to the plane, to the chopper,
579
00:32:48,300 --> 00:32:50,386
to the track to get into his Cup car.
580
00:32:51,887 --> 00:32:53,681
Green flag, Gray 3.
581
00:32:53,764 --> 00:32:56,809
Lap one
is the fastest for Kyle Larson.
582
00:32:56,892 --> 00:33:00,562
That is the fastest single lap speed
of the day, so far.
583
00:33:00,646 --> 00:33:03,273
As the legend Jeff Gordon watches on.
584
00:33:06,068 --> 00:33:07,444
And lap three...
585
00:33:07,528 --> 00:33:08,862
Whoa!
586
00:33:08,946 --> 00:33:10,030
He's out of it.
587
00:33:10,114 --> 00:33:12,241
Is that a drive train engine problem?
588
00:33:12,324 --> 00:33:13,575
Oh, we got an issue.
589
00:33:13,659 --> 00:33:14,618
Lift it off.
590
00:33:14,702 --> 00:33:15,619
Something happened.
591
00:33:15,703 --> 00:33:17,705
Finish the lap, man, finish the lap.
592
00:33:17,788 --> 00:33:19,206
Finish the lap.
593
00:33:19,289 --> 00:33:20,749
Oh, shit.
594
00:33:20,833 --> 00:33:23,210
Oh, you're fuckin' jokin' me!
595
00:33:24,378 --> 00:33:26,630
We need him to cross the finish.
596
00:33:26,714 --> 00:33:29,967
He didn't, he came into the warm up lane.
597
00:33:30,050 --> 00:33:33,595
Just going back to the call
from the stand to finish that lap.
598
00:33:33,679 --> 00:33:37,182
Right now, there's no time
registered for Kyle Larson.
599
00:33:37,266 --> 00:33:39,852
That was his one and only
guaranteed attempt.
600
00:33:39,935 --> 00:33:42,563
I'm a little bummed
he didn't cross the line.
601
00:33:42,646 --> 00:33:46,233
Had he even just coasted
across the line, it would count.
602
00:33:46,316 --> 00:33:49,153
So, I think we may have
to just diagnose the issue.
603
00:33:57,703 --> 00:34:01,039
Some good news
and sort of some bad news
604
00:34:01,123 --> 00:34:03,250
on the 17 car of Kyle Larson.
605
00:34:03,333 --> 00:34:05,294
There doesn't appear to be anything wrong.
606
00:34:05,377 --> 00:34:08,714
What sounds like happened was
sort of an electronic miss.
607
00:34:08,797 --> 00:34:12,342
And he felt the miss in the engine,
and he shut the car down.
608
00:34:12,426 --> 00:34:15,846
And that's something where the team
maybe feels like if he had continued,
609
00:34:15,929 --> 00:34:18,599
it may not have caused a bigger problem.
610
00:34:18,682 --> 00:34:22,186
But Larson doesn't have a time,
so he's gonna have to go back out again.
611
00:34:28,650 --> 00:34:33,071
Hey, you got about two minutes.
He's gonna put a lap down. We'll watch it.
612
00:34:34,323 --> 00:34:36,325
Hey, two minutes away.
613
00:34:36,408 --> 00:34:38,827
...this drive just happens to be...
614
00:34:38,911 --> 00:34:40,370
Young money gots to make a lap.
615
00:34:40,454 --> 00:34:41,538
All right, here we go.
616
00:34:41,622 --> 00:34:43,290
...Kyle Larson.
617
00:34:43,373 --> 00:34:45,334
All right. Go ahead
and fire him up, Chris.
618
00:34:49,630 --> 00:34:51,757
Can send him straight on track.
619
00:34:56,720 --> 00:34:59,264
Now come on.
Really need a solid run.
620
00:35:02,226 --> 00:35:05,395
So,
what an eventful day for Kyle Larson.
621
00:35:05,479 --> 00:35:07,272
This is his second attempt.
622
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,275
Let's go! Take two.
623
00:35:17,908 --> 00:35:21,245
240 miles an hour,
Jeff, into turn three.
624
00:35:21,328 --> 00:35:23,205
All right, now we're talking.
625
00:35:23,288 --> 00:35:24,748
He's got all the pace.
626
00:35:24,832 --> 00:35:26,291
Still pretty decent into three.
627
00:35:26,375 --> 00:35:28,126
That's pretty decent into three.
628
00:35:29,169 --> 00:35:30,629
Okay.
629
00:35:33,590 --> 00:35:36,426
He's so close
to the fucking concrete, man.
630
00:35:37,261 --> 00:35:41,431
Lap one, 232.95 for Kyle Larson.
631
00:35:44,017 --> 00:35:45,602
That was a damn good first lap.
632
00:35:47,104 --> 00:35:48,981
He's now at the halfway mark.
633
00:35:49,064 --> 00:35:52,734
Tony Kanaan,
Indy 500 winner himself looking on.
634
00:35:53,861 --> 00:35:55,445
Come on, boys. Good luck.
635
00:35:55,529 --> 00:35:56,446
Come on, now.
636
00:35:58,740 --> 00:36:02,494
Solid run,
and 240 again into turn three.
637
00:36:02,578 --> 00:36:05,622
As fast as we've seen anyone.
638
00:36:05,706 --> 00:36:07,124
White flag.
639
00:36:13,171 --> 00:36:16,049
It's real.
He's about to complete
640
00:36:16,133 --> 00:36:20,804
his first ever full qualifying run
for the Indy 500.
641
00:36:20,888 --> 00:36:25,017
Kyle Larson comes in sixth place!
642
00:36:25,100 --> 00:36:29,313
How 'bout that? 232.5 for Kyle Larson!
643
00:36:29,396 --> 00:36:30,522
Good job, Kyle.
644
00:36:30,606 --> 00:36:31,773
Oh, yes.
645
00:36:33,525 --> 00:36:34,401
Wow.
646
00:36:34,484 --> 00:36:35,986
Awesome.
647
00:36:38,572 --> 00:36:40,449
Man, you have a fucking fast race car.
648
00:36:40,532 --> 00:36:41,909
- Yeah.
- All right?
649
00:36:41,992 --> 00:36:43,869
Yes, we have a fast race car.
650
00:36:43,952 --> 00:36:45,287
Great job, man. I'm proud of you guys.
651
00:36:45,370 --> 00:36:46,246
Good job.
652
00:36:46,413 --> 00:36:48,457
Hey, thank you so much.
I'm proud of you.
653
00:36:48,540 --> 00:36:52,711
Dude, this is not what I signed up for.
654
00:36:52,794 --> 00:36:55,172
Audrey, Audrey. Come on, this way.
655
00:36:58,884 --> 00:37:01,720
Listen, I looked like Tom Cruise
when he was qualifying.
656
00:37:01,803 --> 00:37:03,680
{\an8}I was jumpin' on my couch.
657
00:37:03,764 --> 00:37:07,100
{\an8}I was up in the air, baby.
I was pumped up, man.
658
00:37:07,184 --> 00:37:09,853
{\an8}You know what I mean?
Because he represents
659
00:37:09,937 --> 00:37:13,565
what is NASCAR.
He represents this sport.
660
00:37:13,649 --> 00:37:16,944
To go to Indy, to do this
at Indy, on their big stage.
661
00:37:17,027 --> 00:37:19,029
That is a huge moment.
662
00:37:35,003 --> 00:37:37,547
The 108th running
of the Indianapolis 500.
663
00:37:37,631 --> 00:37:39,716
They're expecting a crowd
of 330,000 people.
664
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,386
But Indianapolis also
in the zone for storms
665
00:37:42,469 --> 00:37:45,055
that could bring tornadoes,
possibly some lightning.
666
00:37:45,138 --> 00:37:46,932
The speedway, by the way,
does not have a place
667
00:37:47,015 --> 00:37:50,310
to shelter all those people
if the weather turns dangerous.
668
00:37:51,144 --> 00:37:53,271
What's the forecast look like now?
669
00:37:53,355 --> 00:37:55,649
It still looks very bad.
670
00:37:56,483 --> 00:37:59,277
Looks like rain all day Sunday here.
671
00:37:59,361 --> 00:38:01,780
Which, that could be good
672
00:38:03,240 --> 00:38:06,702
if they don't get any track time
on Sunday.
673
00:38:07,828 --> 00:38:10,706
So, I would prefer
to race both on the same day.
674
00:38:11,206 --> 00:38:14,001
Not really. I would prefer
to just race both.
675
00:38:15,085 --> 00:38:18,130
But if it was on the same day,
it would be way cooler.
676
00:38:19,172 --> 00:38:23,844
I just hope it doesn't come down
to where I don't get to finish both races.
677
00:38:23,927 --> 00:38:24,886
You know?
678
00:38:25,971 --> 00:38:27,139
Yeah, that would suck.
679
00:38:31,518 --> 00:38:33,395
The NASCAR rule book states
680
00:38:33,478 --> 00:38:37,065
{\an8}unless otherwise authorized by NASCAR,
drivers and team owners
681
00:38:37,149 --> 00:38:40,110
{\an8}must start all championship events
of the current season
682
00:38:40,193 --> 00:38:41,820
{\an8}to be eligible for the playoffs.
683
00:38:44,865 --> 00:38:48,035
You miss a race for injury,
or any other reason,
684
00:38:48,118 --> 00:38:50,704
then NASCAR has
what they call this waiver system.
685
00:38:50,787 --> 00:38:55,083
If they give you the waiver,
you're still competing for a championship.
686
00:38:55,167 --> 00:38:59,504
But there always is that chance
in the way that rule is written
687
00:38:59,588 --> 00:39:02,257
where we don't give you the waiver.
688
00:39:03,091 --> 00:39:07,471
I think we need to have the conversation
of worst case scenario.
689
00:39:07,554 --> 00:39:09,598
- Yep.
- To me, worst case scenario is
690
00:39:09,681 --> 00:39:11,767
it's delayed, and it goes green.
691
00:39:11,850 --> 00:39:13,643
and you guys are having a phenomenal day.
692
00:39:13,727 --> 00:39:14,728
Yeah.
693
00:39:14,811 --> 00:39:19,066
Do you give up the Indy 500 top five,
whatever it may be,
694
00:39:19,149 --> 00:39:22,986
or do we have a drop dead
and get to Charlotte?
695
00:39:23,070 --> 00:39:26,198
I think for the Indy 500,
in order to win the race,
696
00:39:26,281 --> 00:39:29,034
I think you have to be in the top 10
after the last pit stop.
697
00:39:29,117 --> 00:39:31,119
But I think,
if you're outside the top 10,
698
00:39:31,203 --> 00:39:33,705
I wouldn't have a problem saying, yeah,
699
00:39:33,789 --> 00:39:36,041
we should probably send him
to the Coke 600,
700
00:39:36,124 --> 00:39:38,335
knowing
that the regular season championship
701
00:39:38,418 --> 00:39:40,754
and the Coke 600 and playoff points,
702
00:39:40,837 --> 00:39:44,716
to give that up to just finish eighth
in the Indy 500 seems foolish.
703
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:48,428
I do think that, Cliff,
you've got to find a way
704
00:39:48,512 --> 00:39:51,807
in that situation of going, all right,
705
00:39:51,890 --> 00:39:54,684
Kyle Larson's running fifth
in the Indy 500
706
00:39:54,768 --> 00:39:58,313
- and is going to miss starting my car.
- Yeah.
707
00:39:58,396 --> 00:40:00,524
But he can still get in our car
at halfway.
708
00:40:00,607 --> 00:40:02,776
- Yeah.
- We could still win the race.
709
00:40:02,859 --> 00:40:05,445
And no, we don't get the driver points
but it's not over.
710
00:40:05,529 --> 00:40:09,032
My opinion would be err toward the side
of keeping him in the Indy car.
711
00:40:09,116 --> 00:40:12,285
I mean, this guy just pulled a win
out of Kansas, out of the hat,
712
00:40:12,369 --> 00:40:16,039
when we had not a shot with 10 to go.
And had an amazing restart.
713
00:40:16,123 --> 00:40:17,582
He's gonna have a shot.
714
00:40:18,083 --> 00:40:19,918
And I hope we do not have
to make that decision.
715
00:40:20,001 --> 00:40:21,044
Yeah, of course.
716
00:40:21,128 --> 00:40:22,963
Nobody wants to have
to make that decision.
717
00:40:23,046 --> 00:40:24,256
All righty.
718
00:40:24,339 --> 00:40:26,007
- All right, thank you.
- Yep.
719
00:40:35,725 --> 00:40:37,811
Whoa!
720
00:40:41,356 --> 00:40:42,858
Whoa!
721
00:40:46,820 --> 00:40:48,280
Hey, what's goin' on?
722
00:40:49,156 --> 00:40:52,826
Yeah, I think it went well.
I mean, what came out of it was
723
00:40:52,909 --> 00:40:54,411
everything we can possibly do
724
00:40:54,494 --> 00:40:57,289
to make sure you're startin' that race
and finishin' that race.
725
00:40:57,372 --> 00:40:59,082
Especially if it's goin' well.
726
00:40:59,166 --> 00:41:01,126
We're not gonna jeopardize that.
727
00:41:01,209 --> 00:41:03,587
Well, that's good.
That's really good to hear.
728
00:41:03,670 --> 00:41:07,215
I'm happy, obviously,
but still just hope the weather,
729
00:41:07,299 --> 00:41:11,845
you know, goes, gets better
for both places.
730
00:41:11,928 --> 00:41:15,348
Or, it just continues
to get worse here in Indy,
731
00:41:15,432 --> 00:41:19,269
and then, we can get the 600 in
as scheduled on Sunday night.
732
00:41:19,352 --> 00:41:21,271
And then, come back here for Monday.
733
00:41:25,859 --> 00:41:28,028
Whoa!
734
00:41:30,238 --> 00:41:31,323
Go get it.
735
00:41:31,406 --> 00:41:33,325
Owen, do you race cars?
736
00:41:33,408 --> 00:41:36,661
Yeah. I race go-karts at Millbridge
737
00:41:36,745 --> 00:41:38,955
in North Carolina.
738
00:41:39,039 --> 00:41:41,917
What does your dad say to you
when you have a race?
739
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,502
He's not really at my races anymore.
740
00:41:47,380 --> 00:41:49,257
How 'bout... Can you say "bubble"?
741
00:41:49,341 --> 00:41:50,675
Ah!
742
00:41:50,759 --> 00:41:53,261
Ooh, that's a good one.
743
00:41:53,345 --> 00:41:54,429
Whoa!
744
00:42:05,982 --> 00:42:10,487
{\an8}I have lots of dreams and goals
and things that I want to accomplish.
745
00:42:10,570 --> 00:42:11,988
I've told Katelyn that, too.
746
00:42:12,072 --> 00:42:14,449
I think it took her a minute
to buy into it,
747
00:42:14,532 --> 00:42:17,118
you know,
me racing as often as I do.
748
00:42:17,202 --> 00:42:20,830
It's definitely a challenge
being gone as much as I am.
749
00:42:20,914 --> 00:42:22,624
I mean, I wish I could be at everything.
750
00:42:22,707 --> 00:42:26,044
I wish I could be at all of Owen's races
and Audrey's races.
751
00:42:26,127 --> 00:42:28,213
I don't know.
You know, it's hard, like...
752
00:42:29,339 --> 00:42:30,298
It's hard.
753
00:42:49,609 --> 00:42:51,611
Oh, good morning.
754
00:42:53,446 --> 00:42:55,573
Oh, hi. Good morning.
755
00:42:57,325 --> 00:42:59,119
{\an8}Wish Kyle Larson the best.
756
00:42:59,202 --> 00:43:01,830
{\an8}Hope he gets the chance
to pull off the Double.
757
00:43:03,039 --> 00:43:04,291
- Good luck, today.
- Thanks.
758
00:43:04,374 --> 00:43:06,126
- All 1,100 miles, hopefully.
- Yeah.
759
00:43:06,209 --> 00:43:08,420
Don't know if it's gonna be
all 1,100 today.
760
00:43:09,296 --> 00:43:11,965
So, when this band hits,
this is gonna be violent.
761
00:43:12,048 --> 00:43:14,009
Then, there'll just be
a bunch of rain after.
762
00:43:14,092 --> 00:43:15,719
You'll have a little bit of a clearing,
763
00:43:15,802 --> 00:43:18,471
then the more violent stuff
could continue to head our way.
764
00:43:18,555 --> 00:43:20,515
The interesting thing is,
around 8:00,
765
00:43:20,598 --> 00:43:23,435
the bottom part of that
will graze Charlotte.
766
00:43:23,518 --> 00:43:25,270
Eight or nine.
767
00:43:30,275 --> 00:43:33,320
The start of the Indianapolis 500
will be delayed.
768
00:43:33,403 --> 00:43:35,530
This storm, I just looked
and it's two hours.
769
00:43:35,613 --> 00:43:37,449
It's until 2:00. So.
770
00:43:37,532 --> 00:43:38,950
Yeah.
771
00:43:39,034 --> 00:43:42,078
That's bad. Then
I need to rain until three.
772
00:43:42,162 --> 00:43:43,413
Yes.
773
00:43:43,496 --> 00:43:47,208
Please,
exit the grandstands and seek shelter.
774
00:43:47,292 --> 00:43:51,046
Again, there's a thunderstorm
inbound toward the speedway.
775
00:43:51,129 --> 00:43:56,301
It's a severe thunderstorm warning
for this area...
776
00:44:09,314 --> 00:44:11,566
{\an8}Have you talked to your crew chief today?
777
00:44:11,649 --> 00:44:13,526
{\an8}- Cliff? Is he stressin'?
- Whoo!
778
00:44:13,610 --> 00:44:14,611
{\an8}Yeah.
779
00:44:16,071 --> 00:44:18,990
{\an8}We don't need to be writing
that he is or isn't getting a waiver
780
00:44:19,074 --> 00:44:20,909
{\an8}- until he misses the race.
- He's supposed to be here.
781
00:44:20,992 --> 00:44:22,869
{\an8}Kyle could still be here
in an hour and a half.
782
00:44:22,952 --> 00:44:24,913
If they call it right now,
he'll be here in an hour and a half.
783
00:44:24,996 --> 00:44:27,457
Cliff doesn't know right now, either,
'cause none of us do.
784
00:44:27,540 --> 00:44:29,292
- None of us do. Right.
- None of us know.
785
00:44:35,340 --> 00:44:37,842
The weather advisory
has been cleared.
786
00:44:37,926 --> 00:44:41,179
The fans have cheered.
They're starting to return to their spots
787
00:44:41,262 --> 00:44:45,266
as the track drying is happening
at a very rapid pace.
788
00:44:46,184 --> 00:44:48,937
I feel like, we're going racing here
789
00:44:49,020 --> 00:44:50,897
depending on how long it takes 'em to dry.
790
00:44:50,980 --> 00:44:52,399
I think another hour and a half.
791
00:44:52,482 --> 00:44:55,735
If that happens,
we're missin' our start at Charlotte.
792
00:44:57,570 --> 00:44:59,739
What are you tryin' to decide on?
793
00:44:59,823 --> 00:45:03,368
{\an8}I think if they start the race
by like 4:00,
794
00:45:03,451 --> 00:45:07,997
{\an8}we, uh, or 4:30,
we gotta be here to start it.
795
00:45:08,081 --> 00:45:11,459
And then, I don't think we pull him
unless there's something
796
00:45:12,460 --> 00:45:14,421
wrong, or you know,
797
00:45:15,547 --> 00:45:17,674
you know, he's two laps down,
or a lap down...
798
00:45:17,757 --> 00:45:20,301
What we want to respect
is the waiver.
799
00:45:20,385 --> 00:45:23,555
Right? We've gotta get him in that car.
800
00:45:24,722 --> 00:45:26,599
As soon as possible.
801
00:45:26,683 --> 00:45:30,770
If we get there, 100 laps to go,
we bust our ass to get there...
802
00:45:30,854 --> 00:45:31,938
Mm.
803
00:45:32,772 --> 00:45:34,482
You gotta hug the cute ones first.
804
00:45:35,733 --> 00:45:38,236
- How ya been?
- A little stressed out right now.
805
00:45:38,319 --> 00:45:40,780
So, what's the implication
if he doesn't run the Cup car?
806
00:45:40,864 --> 00:45:42,157
He loses his points.
807
00:45:42,240 --> 00:45:44,534
- Altogether for that race?
- For that race, yeah.
808
00:45:44,617 --> 00:45:46,161
But he's leading the points right now.
809
00:45:46,244 --> 00:45:47,996
If he wins regular season points,
810
00:45:48,079 --> 00:45:50,498
that's a bonus of 50 points
you take to the playoffs.
811
00:45:52,792 --> 00:45:55,378
He's gonna get there and
drive that car at some point today.
812
00:45:55,462 --> 00:45:57,630
Just, he's not gonna start it.
813
00:45:59,090 --> 00:46:01,593
{\an8}This coulda...
I don't know if I should say this,
814
00:46:01,676 --> 00:46:03,928
{\an8}but this may have been
the worst case scenario.
815
00:46:05,180 --> 00:46:06,973
{\an8}'Cause I don't think
we're going to Charlotte.
816
00:46:09,726 --> 00:46:12,312
I think everyone's stir crazy in there.
817
00:46:12,395 --> 00:46:15,106
Kyle Larson,
what's gonna happen with Larson?
818
00:46:15,190 --> 00:46:17,942
Is Larson still here
as of seven minutes ago?
819
00:46:19,027 --> 00:46:20,778
We'll figure it out, it'll be fine.
820
00:46:21,279 --> 00:46:22,739
They're dryin' the track.
821
00:46:22,822 --> 00:46:24,199
So, we're gonna race here...
822
00:46:25,241 --> 00:46:26,784
miss the start of the 600.
823
00:46:32,624 --> 00:46:33,750
We're just wingin' it.
824
00:46:33,833 --> 00:46:35,210
Yeah, we're wingin' it.
825
00:46:39,172 --> 00:46:40,173
It sucks.
826
00:46:40,256 --> 00:46:41,382
Uh-oh.
827
00:46:46,721 --> 00:46:47,931
Yes, sir.
828
00:46:48,014 --> 00:46:50,808
So, what I need is
a driver for the car at some point.
829
00:46:50,892 --> 00:46:52,810
Justin. And I will tell you now,
830
00:46:52,894 --> 00:46:54,896
{\an8}that if Justin starts the race,
831
00:46:54,979 --> 00:46:58,399
{\an8}and if Kyle can make it back,
we will swap out.
832
00:46:58,483 --> 00:47:00,610
{\an8}We understand
that Kyle doesn't get the points,
833
00:47:00,693 --> 00:47:01,778
that Justin would.
834
00:47:01,861 --> 00:47:03,821
But we would still get Kyle
back in the car
835
00:47:03,905 --> 00:47:05,865
- and let Kyle do his thing.
- Yeah.
836
00:47:24,467 --> 00:47:25,885
So fucking cute.
837
00:47:25,969 --> 00:47:27,262
Thank you.
838
00:47:33,851 --> 00:47:36,145
- Look what you got me into, boy.
- I know.
839
00:47:37,272 --> 00:47:41,150
Well, we'll get you home
quick as we can.
840
00:47:41,234 --> 00:47:44,070
If we run 10 laps before the end,
that'd be good.
841
00:47:44,153 --> 00:47:45,530
Yeah.
842
00:47:48,449 --> 00:47:51,035
You know,
when I'm standing by the car,
843
00:47:51,119 --> 00:47:54,038
like, I wasn't that happy,
even though I was tryin' to fake it.
844
00:47:54,122 --> 00:47:59,460
You know, and smile and
carry on conversations, and this and that.
845
00:47:59,544 --> 00:48:03,089
I was thinkin' about my team in Charlotte
and what they must be thinking.
846
00:48:03,172 --> 00:48:05,633
I'm imagining they're upset.
847
00:48:05,717 --> 00:48:08,177
So, that made me
feel upset about myself, too.
848
00:48:11,055 --> 00:48:14,392
To honor America,
award winning recording artist
849
00:48:14,475 --> 00:48:17,061

861
00:49:24,170 --> 00:49:26,255
The biggest unknown for Kyle Larson
862
00:49:26,339 --> 00:49:29,300
he told me his number one concern,
starts and restarts.
863
00:49:29,384 --> 00:49:32,762
As he said, there's just no way
I can simulate that anywhere
864
00:49:32,845 --> 00:49:35,515
until I do it myself.
I have a lot to learn
865
00:49:35,598 --> 00:49:37,892
through the 500 miles today,
Kevin Lee.
866
00:49:39,852 --> 00:49:43,189
Turn one, single file
as they get up to speed here.
867
00:49:43,272 --> 00:49:45,775
The greatest spectacle in racing!
868
00:49:45,858 --> 00:49:49,237
This is the Indianapolis 500!
869
00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:51,781
Get ready. Flag is green.
870
00:49:55,118 --> 00:49:57,495
Scott McLaughlin in the Yellow Submarine
871
00:49:57,578 --> 00:50:00,498
leads the field.
Will Power on the outside.
872
00:50:00,581 --> 00:50:03,418
Ferrucci's on the hunt
with the three Penskes leading.
873
00:50:03,501 --> 00:50:05,211
We've got a crash at the back.
874
00:50:05,294 --> 00:50:06,587
That's Marcus Ericsson!
875
00:50:06,671 --> 00:50:08,673
Around goes Pietro Fittipaldi!
876
00:50:10,466 --> 00:50:13,177
Brian, remind him to warm brakes restart.
877
00:50:13,261 --> 00:50:15,096
Copy. Warming brakes for restart.
878
00:50:15,179 --> 00:50:20,226
Is there like a line or a mark
where the restart zone starts and ends?
879
00:50:20,309 --> 00:50:24,313
No, sir, there's not.
It's the short shoot through turn four.
880
00:50:24,397 --> 00:50:26,274
Tyler, he's yours for the restart.
881
00:50:26,357 --> 00:50:28,443
Coming into the green here.
882
00:50:28,526 --> 00:50:30,069
All right, be ready here.
883
00:50:30,987 --> 00:50:32,655
Get ready...
884
00:50:32,739 --> 00:50:34,574
Ready...
885
00:50:35,074 --> 00:50:36,868
Pickin' up here.
886
00:50:38,870 --> 00:50:41,456
Oh, wheels spin.
He was in first gear, James.
887
00:50:41,539 --> 00:50:44,167
There's moves happening,
there's passes being made!
888
00:50:44,250 --> 00:50:47,754
It's Kyle Larson and there's contact
with Ryan Hunter-Reay!
889
00:50:47,837 --> 00:50:51,132
Hunter-Reay with the hip check to Larson.
Something went horribly wrong
890
00:50:51,215 --> 00:50:53,551
for Kyle Larson on the restart.
891
00:50:55,470 --> 00:50:57,263
Was he in the wrong gear?
892
00:50:57,346 --> 00:51:00,641
Can you talk to me and
tell me what I did wrong on that startup?
893
00:51:00,725 --> 00:51:03,853
Yes, sir. You were in first,
you clicked it twice and went to third.
894
00:51:09,817 --> 00:51:14,363
{\an8}I want to say welcome
to the 66th running of the Coca-Cola 600
895
00:51:14,447 --> 00:51:16,324
at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
896
00:51:16,407 --> 00:51:18,493
Have a good time today.
897
00:51:18,576 --> 00:51:20,328
Anybody know how he's runnin' in the 500?
898
00:51:20,411 --> 00:51:22,538
- He was running ninth, last I looked.
- Ninth?
899
00:51:22,622 --> 00:51:24,957
Fucked up on the first restart
and fell way back.
900
00:51:25,041 --> 00:51:26,459
Missed a shift, so.
901
00:51:29,337 --> 00:51:32,006
{\an8}Still you and VeeKay.
Still just you and him.
902
00:51:32,965 --> 00:51:35,051
We're clear behind him.
One back to Dixon now.
903
00:51:35,134 --> 00:51:36,093
You're clear.
904
00:51:36,177 --> 00:51:39,096
Larson is now back in the top ten.
905
00:51:39,180 --> 00:51:40,598
He is sitting eighth.
906
00:51:40,681 --> 00:51:42,475
Power open, are open.
We will check...
907
00:51:42,558 --> 00:51:44,602
Kevin,
other than one restart today,
908
00:51:44,685 --> 00:51:47,814
Kyle Larson has been so impressive
hanging in the top ten.
909
00:51:47,897 --> 00:51:51,108
He's been dealing with a bit of an issue
on entry to the corner.
910
00:51:51,192 --> 00:51:52,944
They're gonna make a wing adjustment here.
911
00:51:53,027 --> 00:51:56,155
Go, go, go, go! You're clear!
912
00:51:57,114 --> 00:51:58,324
Doin' a good job.
913
00:51:58,407 --> 00:52:01,160
You've clawed back all those positions
from that restart.
914
00:52:03,496 --> 00:52:06,332
Let's not lose sight
of the fact that Kyle Larson,
915
00:52:06,415 --> 00:52:11,045
the NASCAR Cup Series superstar
is in the top six.
916
00:52:11,128 --> 00:52:12,672
Incredible performance.
917
00:52:14,173 --> 00:52:18,052
{\an8}Kyle Larson again, is at Indy,
not here at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
918
00:52:18,135 --> 00:52:21,305
He led the points by 30
going into this race.
919
00:52:21,389 --> 00:52:23,724
He will get zero from this event.
920
00:52:25,351 --> 00:52:28,229
The Coca-Cola 600 is under way.
921
00:52:29,313 --> 00:52:31,983
{\an8}We're 13 laps
from havin' this past the halfway point,
922
00:52:32,066 --> 00:52:33,651
{\an8}making it official race.
923
00:52:33,734 --> 00:52:35,570
How 'bout Larson in sixth.
924
00:52:36,863 --> 00:52:40,783
Josef Newgarden from
Nashville, Tennessee pits for the lead.
925
00:52:40,867 --> 00:52:42,702
Hit this time, hit this time.
926
00:52:42,785 --> 00:52:45,872
Remind him about the brakes
on the back stretch.
927
00:52:45,955 --> 00:52:47,039
Brakes on the back.
928
00:52:47,123 --> 00:52:48,374
Thank you, Tony.
929
00:52:53,004 --> 00:52:56,674
Big lock up from Kyle Larson
way past the cone there.
930
00:52:56,757 --> 00:53:01,053
We've seen this before, guys,
a good 500 come unglued in the pit lane.
931
00:53:01,137 --> 00:53:05,141
You are five, four, three, two, one.
932
00:53:06,851 --> 00:53:08,728
We are making a front wing adjustment.
933
00:53:08,811 --> 00:53:11,772
No word yet if Kyle Larson
did speed on Pit Road.
934
00:53:11,856 --> 00:53:13,608
Go, go, go. Clear out.
935
00:53:13,691 --> 00:53:15,776
Kyle Larson
does indeed get a penalty here.
936
00:53:15,860 --> 00:53:17,820
He will have to come down Pit Road.
937
00:53:17,904 --> 00:53:19,947
He's gonna have to drive through
for speeding, Kevin.
938
00:53:20,031 --> 00:53:21,991
We have a drive through.
939
00:53:23,743 --> 00:53:25,161
{\an8}That just fuck our race?
940
00:53:26,245 --> 00:53:29,332
Meanwhile,
Kyle Larson will serve that drive through
941
00:53:29,415 --> 00:53:30,708
penalty coming this time.
942
00:53:30,791 --> 00:53:34,045
He's 21st at the moment.
One lap off the lead lap.
943
00:53:34,128 --> 00:53:37,173
Give me your last thoughts here
as we're 3/4 of the way...
944
00:53:56,651 --> 00:54:00,029
Tyler, let him know that Rossi
and O'Ward have a shot to win here,
945
00:54:00,112 --> 00:54:01,864
so we just need to hold our position.
946
00:54:01,948 --> 00:54:04,700
Rossi and O'Ward
have a shot to win here.
947
00:54:04,784 --> 00:54:06,702
So, hold your position.
948
00:54:14,251 --> 00:54:17,380
You're in the back.
You can't pass back there.
949
00:54:17,463 --> 00:54:20,841
I was not gonna try and
force the issue on the guy in front of me
950
00:54:20,925 --> 00:54:24,470
and cause a crash and
hurt a teammate's chance of winning.
951
00:54:24,553 --> 00:54:28,474
So, I'll just settle in here
and try to be a spectator.
952
00:54:30,768 --> 00:54:33,354
I was trying to watch the big screen
and stuff.
953
00:54:33,437 --> 00:54:36,482
You know, I'm back there
fiddlin' around in 18th.
954
00:54:37,525 --> 00:54:40,653
I could tell Pato was battling.
I was hoping he could win.
955
00:54:40,736 --> 00:54:41,946
White flag!
956
00:54:43,823 --> 00:54:45,324
Pato goes to the lane!
957
00:54:46,617 --> 00:54:49,620
Pato O'Ward to the front
off of turn two!
958
00:54:49,704 --> 00:54:50,705
Come on!
959
00:54:50,788 --> 00:54:55,084
Josef Newgarden
around the outside of Pato O'Ward!
960
00:54:55,167 --> 00:54:57,294
Oh, my goodness!
961
00:55:00,631 --> 00:55:02,508
And then,
I saw on the big screen
962
00:55:02,591 --> 00:55:06,178
that Josef was celebrating.
I was bummed for Pato.
963
00:55:08,848 --> 00:55:10,599
Hey, good job today, Kyle.
964
00:55:10,683 --> 00:55:12,935
I know it's not the result we wanted
but you did a really good job.
965
00:55:13,019 --> 00:55:16,147
You completed all the laps.
Super proud of you, of the effort.
966
00:55:16,230 --> 00:55:17,648
Yeah, I'm sorry, guys.
967
00:55:17,732 --> 00:55:19,859
Thanks for all the effort.
968
00:55:19,942 --> 00:55:22,111
Good job, buddy. Way to go.
969
00:55:22,194 --> 00:55:24,196
Good luck with the rest of your day.
970
00:55:35,791 --> 00:55:36,792
Sorry, guys.
971
00:55:36,876 --> 00:55:39,086
{\an8}Man, you were crushin' it.
972
00:55:40,337 --> 00:55:42,882
{\an8}- It was going well till then. Sorry.
- I know.
973
00:55:42,965 --> 00:55:44,341
Great run, man.
974
00:55:44,425 --> 00:55:46,177
Yeah, it sucks.
975
00:55:46,260 --> 00:55:48,804
I found out Kyle Larson's human
after all.
976
00:55:48,888 --> 00:55:50,765
Yeah.
977
00:55:50,848 --> 00:55:52,391
Yeah, I fucked that up.
978
00:56:01,609 --> 00:56:03,069
There's a big storm comin'.
979
00:56:03,152 --> 00:56:07,156
Wind gusts of 60 miles an hour
and penny-sized hail.
980
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:08,699
That's not good.
981
00:56:10,993 --> 00:56:14,288
{\an8}Justin Allgaier has done
exactly what this team needed him to do.
982
00:56:14,371 --> 00:56:17,041
{\an8}Keep that car on the lead lap,
keep us in the game
983
00:56:17,124 --> 00:56:20,127
till Kyle Larson gets here.
And he's not far away.
984
00:56:20,211 --> 00:56:22,379
You know Kyle's gonna get in this thing
985
00:56:22,463 --> 00:56:24,924
and he's just gonna blizz
right through the field.
986
00:56:25,007 --> 00:56:26,842
I'm tellin' ya, the car's that good.
987
00:56:28,886 --> 00:56:31,055
Larson comes out,
you get ready to pit the car.
988
00:56:34,975 --> 00:56:38,312
I see a helicopter coming.
There's Larson.
989
00:56:38,395 --> 00:56:41,232
Larson's landing at the track,
just so you know.
990
00:56:44,443 --> 00:56:46,612
Four tires goin' on the deck.
991
00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:54,245
We believe
that is Kyle Larson's golf cart.
992
00:56:54,328 --> 00:56:56,497
I recognize that driver's seat.
993
00:56:59,333 --> 00:57:02,336
We just had lightning.
I assume it's gonna stop raining.
994
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:04,380
There he is.
995
00:57:04,463 --> 00:57:09,510
Boy, you couldn't have timed this
any better with weather, a caution...
996
00:57:10,803 --> 00:57:13,722
Kyle's in the pit stall.
He's not suited up yet.
997
00:57:16,225 --> 00:57:17,476
We did just have lighting.
998
00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:19,895
They haven't delayed anything yet.
999
00:57:21,188 --> 00:57:23,274
I think I just heard
a lightning strike call.
1000
00:57:23,357 --> 00:57:24,775
That means these cars
will come down to Pit Road.
1001
00:57:24,859 --> 00:57:26,694
This will be a lightning call, right?
1002
00:57:26,777 --> 00:57:27,862
Yes.
1003
00:57:29,864 --> 00:57:32,867
What's up?
Good. How's it goin'?
1004
00:57:32,950 --> 00:57:34,743
- I've been better.
- Yeah.
1005
00:57:36,495 --> 00:57:37,371
For sure.
1006
00:57:40,875 --> 00:57:43,794
{\an8}Right now, we are under a lightning delay.
1007
00:57:43,878 --> 00:57:46,422
Well, lightning in the area,
1008
00:57:46,505 --> 00:57:51,218
and 249 laps complete
in the Coca-Cola 600.
1009
00:58:09,695 --> 00:58:11,655
I'm assuming that they're drying it.
1010
00:58:11,739 --> 00:58:14,909
Yeah, just whenever the track's dry,
we'll get back on.
1011
00:58:14,992 --> 00:58:17,369
Hundred and fifty laps, so...
1012
00:58:17,453 --> 00:58:19,205
More laps than I thought I'd get.
1013
00:58:21,123 --> 00:58:22,833
Just wanted to run both races.
1014
00:58:29,465 --> 00:58:32,509
Jet dryers are out in full force,
1015
00:58:32,593 --> 00:58:34,553
and they're working to get this track dry,
1016
00:58:34,637 --> 00:58:37,514
even as we still see lightning
in the distance.
1017
00:58:37,598 --> 00:58:39,183
So folks, we're not done yet.
1018
00:58:41,352 --> 00:58:44,438
Yeah, I'm not
feeling too great about the weather.
1019
00:58:44,521 --> 00:58:48,525
And then, the weather hits,
and then, I'm like, dang.
1020
00:58:48,609 --> 00:58:51,111
Like, that sucks.
1021
00:58:51,195 --> 00:58:54,323
And like, oh, they're trying to dry it.
I didn't think they'd do that.
1022
00:58:54,406 --> 00:58:58,577
Then, I'm like super excited.
Like, super happy.
1023
00:58:58,661 --> 00:59:02,748
It's like, all right, now I have
a chance to go, like, redeem myself.
1024
00:59:02,831 --> 00:59:05,542
{\an8}And I don't know,
we sat there for like an hour.
1025
00:59:05,626 --> 00:59:10,005
{\an8}Looking out, the track looked like it was
30 minutes from being ready.
1026
00:59:10,089 --> 00:59:11,590
And then, they called it.
1027
00:59:15,219 --> 00:59:16,637
So, that's it?
1028
00:59:21,350 --> 00:59:22,935
Jesse, we're done.
1029
00:59:23,018 --> 00:59:24,603
They just called it. We're done.
1030
00:59:43,038 --> 00:59:46,875
Same storm that fucked me in Indy,
fucked me in Charlotte, so.
1031
00:59:48,002 --> 00:59:50,546
Guys, I'm bummed.
1032
00:59:51,714 --> 00:59:56,343
I'm very, very thankful
for the experience.
1033
00:59:56,427 --> 01:00:01,598
Obviously, like, I mean,
it's everything about the two weeks.
1034
01:00:03,058 --> 01:00:06,353
All that was great until today.
So, just, uh...
1035
01:00:07,688 --> 01:00:10,190
- it's sad. Hey, congrats.
- Thank you.
1036
01:00:10,274 --> 01:00:13,319
Uh, yeah, it's just sad.
You know, like...
1037
01:00:14,987 --> 01:00:17,990
Just mad at myself,
mad at the situation.
1038
01:00:19,658 --> 01:00:22,494
Just, uh...
1039
01:00:22,578 --> 01:00:25,372
I don't know, man. It's sad.
1040
01:00:36,467 --> 01:00:40,346
Yeah, after they canceled the race,
1041
01:00:40,429 --> 01:00:44,558
I woke up to a tweet,
which I didn't know he was on his phone.
1042
01:00:44,641 --> 01:00:46,769
Do you want me to read it?
He just said,
1043
01:00:46,852 --> 01:00:49,730
"What I thought could be
one of the best days of my life
1044
01:00:49,813 --> 01:00:53,442
quickly turned into one of the most
disappointing ones I've ever experienced.
1045
01:00:53,525 --> 01:00:56,987
I hate it for Rick Hendrick,
Jeff Gordon, the Five Team,
1046
01:00:57,071 --> 01:01:01,116
everyone on the 17 Indy car,
my family, my friends, my fans.
1047
01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:04,286
So much time, money, and effort
went into this experience,
1048
01:01:04,370 --> 01:01:07,414
and it just kills me
to have it all end the way it did.
1049
01:01:07,498 --> 01:01:09,792
I feel like I let so many people down.
1050
01:01:09,875 --> 01:01:13,462
I hope it's not the last opportunity
I have to try the Double,
1051
01:01:13,545 --> 01:01:15,714
but if it is, I guess
it was a memorable one.
1052
01:01:15,798 --> 01:01:17,132
KL."
1053
01:01:17,216 --> 01:01:18,509
With a sad face.
1054
01:01:21,011 --> 01:01:22,721
Yeah, that was tough.
1055
01:01:22,805 --> 01:01:25,766
I don't think anything
could really help him at that moment.
1056
01:01:31,605 --> 01:01:32,773
Yeah.
1057
01:01:48,247 --> 01:01:52,251
I think I've been dwelling on it
more than like, the rest of the world has.
1058
01:01:55,003 --> 01:01:57,798
I just didn't feel like I could
make everybody happy in that moment,
1059
01:01:57,881 --> 01:01:59,758
and I like making people happy.
1060
01:01:59,842 --> 01:02:02,469
So, it had me not feeling great.
1061
01:02:04,221 --> 01:02:08,475
As we sit here,
NASCAR still has yet to make a decision
1062
01:02:08,559 --> 01:02:11,687
on whether they're going
to grant Kyle Larson a waiver.
1063
01:02:11,770 --> 01:02:14,106
Should Kyle Larson be given a waiver
1064
01:02:14,189 --> 01:02:17,067
{\an8}for missing one
of the biggest NASCAR races of the year,
1065
01:02:17,151 --> 01:02:19,653
{\an8}when he was the points leader
going into this race?
1066
01:02:19,736 --> 01:02:21,196
{\an8}Absolutely not.
1067
01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:24,074
Sorry. Larson chose,
1068
01:02:24,158 --> 01:02:28,162
he chose to not show up
to work on Sunday.
1069
01:02:30,122 --> 01:02:32,791
A little bit of a breathing exercise here.
1070
01:02:32,875 --> 01:02:35,461
See if we can reduce some
of that tension in the neck.
1071
01:02:35,544 --> 01:02:37,212
- Does that feel comfortable?
- Yeah.
1072
01:02:37,296 --> 01:02:39,506
Just close your eyes
and try to relax.
1073
01:02:44,094 --> 01:02:47,890
Kyle doesn't change, right.
He's just always level.
1074
01:02:47,973 --> 01:02:50,559
He doesn't celebrate the moment for long,
1075
01:02:50,642 --> 01:02:54,938
and he doesn't dwell on the past
or the difficult times much.
1076
01:02:55,022 --> 01:02:58,817
But that was the first time
I've ever seen Kyle truly upset.
1077
01:02:58,901 --> 01:03:01,653
and feeling the weight of,
through his eyes,
1078
01:03:01,737 --> 01:03:04,990
how he let down his team
and NASCAR.
1079
01:03:05,073 --> 01:03:07,493
That was, you know,
that was a tough moment.
1080
01:03:10,078 --> 01:03:13,540
...Kyle Larson.
Larson, here comes a slider
1081
01:03:13,624 --> 01:03:16,418
for the race lead.
Kyle Larson to the top spot...
1082
01:03:16,502 --> 01:03:18,795
...got together on turn four...
1083
01:03:18,879 --> 01:03:20,881
...laps to go...
1084
01:03:21,381 --> 01:03:24,092
Kyle Larson
at the Indy 500 last week
1085
01:03:24,176 --> 01:03:27,679
and a week later,
he's gonna come off of turn number four
1086
01:03:27,763 --> 01:03:31,975
and win a Kubota High Level sprint car
event at Lawrenceburg Speedway.
1087
01:03:33,268 --> 01:03:37,856
He always tries
to find the blame in himself first.
1088
01:03:37,940 --> 01:03:41,652
But I think that's also what helps him
get over it quickly.
1089
01:03:41,735 --> 01:03:45,572
'Cause he's always got
the next race and distraction.
1090
01:03:45,656 --> 01:03:48,700
But yeah, his schedule
definitely is really hard
1091
01:03:48,784 --> 01:03:52,996
to get him
to always be around for the kids.
1092
01:03:53,080 --> 01:03:55,832
But I also think
there's a lot of people out there that...
1093
01:03:57,292 --> 01:04:00,712
don't know us,
that in, like, 2020, when, um...
1094
01:04:01,838 --> 01:04:04,132
he made his mistake.
1095
01:04:04,216 --> 01:04:06,385
That was a big turning point in our...
1096
01:04:06,468 --> 01:04:09,012
I think, in our lives, mature-wise,
1097
01:04:09,096 --> 01:04:11,848
marriage-wise, family-wise.
1098
01:04:19,439 --> 01:04:23,443
Kyle Larson,
the 28-year-old six-time NASCAR winner
1099
01:04:23,527 --> 01:04:25,404
is one of the sport's rising stars.
1100
01:04:25,487 --> 01:04:28,198
{\an8}But Larson was heard using the N-word
1101
01:04:28,282 --> 01:04:32,035
{\an8}while speaking on headset
during a virtual racing event.
1102
01:04:32,119 --> 01:04:33,370
{\an8}You can't hear me?
1103
01:04:33,453 --> 01:04:35,163
{\an8}Hey, N*****...
1104
01:04:35,247 --> 01:04:37,457
{\an8}Kyle, you're talkin' to everyone, bud.
1105
01:04:42,337 --> 01:04:45,007
Are you okay talking
about what happened?
1106
01:04:45,090 --> 01:04:46,633
- Sure.
- Okay, so,
1107
01:04:46,717 --> 01:04:49,052
tell us what happened in 2020.
1108
01:04:49,136 --> 01:04:53,223
Uh, so, yeah, early in 2020,
um, COVID happened.
1109
01:04:53,307 --> 01:04:56,852
And um, yeah, so we,
like, the sport was kind of,
1110
01:04:56,935 --> 01:04:59,396
the world was in a weird stage,
but our sport, too.
1111
01:04:59,479 --> 01:05:02,441
And we were doin'
lots of virtual racing.
1112
01:05:02,524 --> 01:05:05,402
Just said something
really immature and stupid,
1113
01:05:05,485 --> 01:05:08,447
um, on there, uh, on the chat
1114
01:05:08,530 --> 01:05:11,408
that I didn't know was public at the time.
1115
01:05:11,491 --> 01:05:13,827
Um, which doesn't matter.
1116
01:05:13,910 --> 01:05:17,289
{\an8}An iRacing comment of Kyle Larson's
1117
01:05:17,372 --> 01:05:21,877
{\an8}has led to his being dropped
by Chip Ganassi Racing.
1118
01:05:21,960 --> 01:05:23,920
You know, last night,
I made a mistake
1119
01:05:24,004 --> 01:05:27,007
and said the word
that should never, ever be said.
1120
01:05:27,090 --> 01:05:29,760
And um, you know,
there's no excuse for that.
1121
01:05:29,843 --> 01:05:31,845
You know, I wasn't raised that way.
1122
01:05:31,928 --> 01:05:33,972
{\an8}I was disappointed in Kyle.
1123
01:05:34,056 --> 01:05:36,767
{\an8}because, you know, I'm not racist.
1124
01:05:36,850 --> 01:05:39,394
{\an8}And he's not, either.
1125
01:05:39,478 --> 01:05:44,358
{\an8}If racing with NASCAR
were to not be in your future,
1126
01:05:44,441 --> 01:05:47,110
{\an8}would that be
too steep a price to pay for you?
1127
01:05:47,194 --> 01:05:50,238
{\an8}I don't think it'd be
too steep of a price to pay.
1128
01:05:50,322 --> 01:05:52,658
{\an8}You know,
what I said was extremely hurtful.
1129
01:05:52,741 --> 01:05:55,410
{\an8}And I would fully understand
if I was never allowed
1130
01:05:55,494 --> 01:05:58,080
{\an8}to race another NASCAR race again.
1131
01:05:59,331 --> 01:06:01,625
That was hard. Yeah.
1132
01:06:02,793 --> 01:06:07,214
It was hard. I usually see him,
uh, cry happy tears.
1133
01:06:07,297 --> 01:06:08,799
But to see that...
1134
01:06:09,925 --> 01:06:13,720
in like, a different aspect,
and like, the disappointment,
1135
01:06:13,804 --> 01:06:17,891
and the instant how sorry he felt.
1136
01:06:19,810 --> 01:06:21,728
Yeah, it was hard.
1137
01:06:21,812 --> 01:06:25,232
Everything that happened,
you know, with me losing my job,
1138
01:06:25,315 --> 01:06:29,903
or sponsors, or my name,
at the time, being tainted, like...
1139
01:06:29,986 --> 01:06:32,823
yeah, I thought it was,
it was all justified.
1140
01:06:34,199 --> 01:06:35,867
Only a few years ago,
1141
01:06:35,951 --> 01:06:38,537
people thought Kyle Larson
would be the next Jeff Gordon.
1142
01:06:38,620 --> 01:06:41,081
Now, he's facing
the toughest moment of his career.
1143
01:06:44,292 --> 01:06:48,296
It was just a whirlwind.
Yeah, I mean, you're...
1144
01:06:49,089 --> 01:06:50,132
making...
1145
01:06:51,341 --> 01:06:54,761
great money, at the time,
for you know, however old I was,
1146
01:06:54,845 --> 01:06:56,805
27, or so.
1147
01:06:56,888 --> 01:07:00,517
to like, making no money.
So, it was like, "oh, shit."
1148
01:07:00,600 --> 01:07:02,853
And so, we had to sell a lot of stuff.
1149
01:07:02,936 --> 01:07:06,648
You had to quickly, you know,
figure out what I was gonna do.
1150
01:07:06,732 --> 01:07:10,110
Um, went and started racing,
1151
01:07:10,193 --> 01:07:13,280
uh, every day, basically,
in sprint cars.
1152
01:07:13,363 --> 01:07:15,657
Three months on the road.
1153
01:07:17,451 --> 01:07:18,452
Yo.
1154
01:07:24,249 --> 01:07:29,337
We had Owen, who was six,
and Audrey was two-and-a-half, or so,
1155
01:07:29,421 --> 01:07:31,006
plus the two kittens, you know,
1156
01:07:31,089 --> 01:07:33,175
driving down the road
in our motor home.
1157
01:07:33,258 --> 01:07:35,427
A man and his family.
1158
01:07:37,012 --> 01:07:38,513
We learned a lot that year.
1159
01:07:38,597 --> 01:07:42,476
We learned how to unhook the truck
and hook the truck up every time.
1160
01:07:42,559 --> 01:07:43,560
We learned how to...
1161
01:07:44,770 --> 01:07:45,771
dump the shitter.
1162
01:07:47,272 --> 01:07:50,108
I don't know.
I went from racin' on Sundays
1163
01:07:50,192 --> 01:07:52,360
to now, I'm sleepin'
in Walmart parking lots.
1164
01:07:52,444 --> 01:07:54,571
We just have like,
a nice routine, you know.
1165
01:07:54,654 --> 01:07:57,657
We're just spending
nice quality time together.
1166
01:07:59,493 --> 01:08:02,662
Katelyn was selling the merchandise
at the race tracks,
1167
01:08:02,746 --> 01:08:06,124
and I was winning
at least half the races I ran.
1168
01:08:10,462 --> 01:08:12,380
I still wish it wouldn't have happened.
1169
01:08:12,464 --> 01:08:14,716
Like, I wish I would've been more mature,
1170
01:08:14,800 --> 01:08:17,677
for it to not, you know, happen.
1171
01:08:17,761 --> 01:08:20,388
But, you know,
you can't ever take things back.
1172
01:08:20,472 --> 01:08:24,100
Just that whole six month period,
probably,
1173
01:08:24,184 --> 01:08:27,479
you know, I grew up a ton
in that, that window.
1174
01:08:36,696 --> 01:08:39,908
Again, one of the hottest topics
of the week,
1175
01:08:39,991 --> 01:08:44,454
for the past two weeks, is the fact that
Larson still has not received a waiver.
1176
01:08:44,538 --> 01:08:47,833
I don't understand how we haven't
already just given this guy a waiver.
1177
01:08:47,916 --> 01:08:49,292
{\an8}Uh, it's Kyle Larson.
1178
01:08:53,129 --> 01:08:55,006
The guy's doin' more for motor sports
than anybody else.
1179
01:08:55,090 --> 01:08:59,219
{\an8}Probably some industry angst
over, you know,
1180
01:08:59,302 --> 01:09:02,347
{\an8}when things got tough
what got prioritized.
1181
01:09:02,430 --> 01:09:05,100
{\an8}As of now, it seems as though,
1182
01:09:05,183 --> 01:09:08,228
{\an8}uh, you know, he's gonna have
to sweat it for a little bit.
1183
01:09:14,943 --> 01:09:17,529
{\an8}I think we're currently going through it.
1184
01:09:17,612 --> 01:09:22,367
He's annoyed, but is he gonna
go get fired up about it? No.
1185
01:09:22,450 --> 01:09:23,994
That is just not Kyle.
1186
01:09:24,995 --> 01:09:28,081
I think the fact
that Kyle has that zen personality,
1187
01:09:28,164 --> 01:09:29,457
you don't see it.
1188
01:09:32,002 --> 01:09:34,629
Hey. There's Owen.
1189
01:09:34,713 --> 01:09:39,759
The Owen Larson,
the son of Kyle Larson, that orange 01,
1190
01:09:39,843 --> 01:09:43,847
same thing his dad raced
when he first started racing these,
1191
01:09:43,930 --> 01:09:46,391
all a few years back
over in California.
1192
01:09:48,518 --> 01:09:50,145
Feels like one of those nights.
1193
01:09:51,897 --> 01:09:53,940
Hey, why are you
gettin' all this attitude?
1194
01:09:54,024 --> 01:09:55,442
- You just gotta--
- He's fine.
1195
01:09:55,525 --> 01:09:57,110
- He can be frustrated.
- Yeah, I know.
1196
01:09:57,193 --> 01:09:59,195
You can be frustrated,
but you gotta know that--
1197
01:09:59,279 --> 01:10:01,072
- You can't give up.
- You can't give up.
1198
01:10:01,156 --> 01:10:04,618
Like, I've seen Dad
start in the back of races,
1199
01:10:04,701 --> 01:10:06,703
spin out, like 20 laps to go...
1200
01:10:06,786 --> 01:10:09,623
And he comes through the field.
I'm not like that.
1201
01:10:09,706 --> 01:10:12,000
But how do you know if you don't try?
1202
01:10:12,083 --> 01:10:14,961
You can do it.
I'm frustrated like you, but I don't quit.
1203
01:10:15,045 --> 01:10:17,422
You know what he does?
He wants to race more,
1204
01:10:17,505 --> 01:10:18,632
so that he gets better.
1205
01:10:18,715 --> 01:10:20,050
Right?
1206
01:10:26,431 --> 01:10:30,435
I've been expressing to Kyle
that Owen really needs his dad
1207
01:10:30,518 --> 01:10:33,271
just like he needed his dad
growing up.
1208
01:10:33,355 --> 01:10:36,900
And watching his dad,
you know, work in the garage.
1209
01:10:36,983 --> 01:10:39,486
Knowing that his dad
would always be there for him
1210
01:10:39,569 --> 01:10:43,323
and the whole family.
And I said that it's really important,
1211
01:10:43,406 --> 01:10:45,116
Kyle, you to be there for him.
1212
01:10:45,200 --> 01:10:48,703
So, Kyle is definitely
trying to take more time.
1213
01:10:48,787 --> 01:10:51,164
All right, don't waste any time.
1214
01:10:51,247 --> 01:10:53,333
Tear this thing up if you have to, okay?
1215
01:11:04,135 --> 01:11:07,138
I'm Kim Coon with breaking news
from the NASCAR Cup Series.
1216
01:11:07,222 --> 01:11:10,934
NASCAR has announced
it has granted a waiver to Kyle Larson
1217
01:11:11,017 --> 01:11:15,522
for missing the Coca-Cola 600
after the driver failed to start the event
1218
01:11:15,605 --> 01:11:18,692
while running
the weather delayed Indianapolis 500.
1219
01:11:18,775 --> 01:11:20,652
Yeah, I'm appreciative of it, for sure.
1220
01:11:20,735 --> 01:11:23,071
And I look forward
to getting through this week
1221
01:11:23,154 --> 01:11:25,407
and hopefully,
just after this press conference,
1222
01:11:25,490 --> 01:11:27,200
I don't have to talk about waivers again.
1223
01:11:29,327 --> 01:11:31,579
...Kyle Larson!
1224
01:11:31,663 --> 01:11:34,249
As we are getting ready for the start
1225
01:11:34,332 --> 01:11:39,004
of the Brickyard 400
from Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
1226
01:11:43,717 --> 01:11:47,804
Kyle Larson certainly happy to
be back on the oval here in Indianpolis.
1227
01:11:47,887 --> 01:11:51,766
It almost just felt meant to be
in the way that the race played out.
1228
01:11:51,850 --> 01:11:54,728
I was just like, man.
It was just like something,
1229
01:11:54,811 --> 01:11:57,856
somebody from above was like,
it is his day.
1230
01:11:57,939 --> 01:11:59,774
For everything he went through in May,
1231
01:11:59,858 --> 01:12:03,111
he deserves to win this right here.
This team deserves to win this race.
1232
01:12:04,571 --> 01:12:09,367
Kyle Larson on lap 123,
and he has been passing several cars.
1233
01:12:09,451 --> 01:12:14,164
I found this move, I definitely say
I probably learned from Indy car stuff,
1234
01:12:14,247 --> 01:12:18,501
So, I was able to start snickering people
and tricking people,
1235
01:12:18,585 --> 01:12:20,420
really getting my way to the front.
1236
01:12:20,503 --> 01:12:22,630
Up to third for Larson.
1237
01:12:22,714 --> 01:12:25,341
But we got some late cautions...
1238
01:12:25,425 --> 01:12:29,345
Oh, we've got a caution
to come out to the aid of Kyle Busch.
1239
01:12:29,429 --> 01:12:31,848
Now, with the caution coming out,
1240
01:12:31,931 --> 01:12:33,558
there's gonna be overtime.
1241
01:12:33,641 --> 01:12:38,605
The opportunity to win
one of the crown jewels of NASCAR.
1242
01:12:38,688 --> 01:12:40,857
We lined up
for the double file restart
1243
01:12:40,940 --> 01:12:43,651
I knew Brad Keselowski
was gonna be really close on fuel
1244
01:12:43,735 --> 01:12:46,071
'cause he'd been leading
and burning the most fuel.
1245
01:12:46,154 --> 01:12:49,574
I kind of felt
like my only hope of winning
1246
01:12:49,657 --> 01:12:51,743
was to choose whatever lane he did
1247
01:12:51,826 --> 01:12:53,953
and hope he ran out of fuel under caution.
1248
01:12:54,037 --> 01:12:57,040
Like, we're coming into turn four,
I'm like, damn, he's not gonna run out.
1249
01:12:57,123 --> 01:12:59,501
So now, I'm in trouble.
All of a sudden, he pulls left.
1250
01:12:59,584 --> 01:13:01,836
And I'm like, what the heck? Okay.
1251
01:13:01,920 --> 01:13:03,505
And he's out, he's out.
1252
01:13:03,588 --> 01:13:06,382
So, the five move forward
into the front row. It's overtime.
1253
01:13:06,466 --> 01:13:09,844
Blaney on the outside,
Larson on the inside.
1254
01:13:09,928 --> 01:13:12,013
Green flag back in the air.
1255
01:13:12,097 --> 01:13:14,015
Great launch for Larson.
1256
01:13:14,099 --> 01:13:16,810
Larson easily by Blaney.
1257
01:13:16,893 --> 01:13:19,020
Now, can Larson hold off Reddick?
1258
01:13:19,104 --> 01:13:19,979
Oh!
1259
01:13:20,063 --> 01:13:23,358
Spinner on the back stretch. They stay green.
1260
01:13:23,441 --> 01:13:26,319
Larson in front. Reddick running second.
1261
01:13:26,402 --> 01:13:27,737
Larson's gonna do it.
1262
01:13:27,821 --> 01:13:30,323
Larson is gonna win
the Brickyard 400!
1263
01:13:30,406 --> 01:13:32,867
Brickyard 400, baby! Hell, yeah!
1264
01:13:48,299 --> 01:13:51,761
Did this make up for the month
of May that you had this year, Kyle,
1265
01:13:51,845 --> 01:13:53,221
when you left very disappointed?
1266
01:13:53,304 --> 01:13:54,597
It does.
1267
01:13:54,681 --> 01:13:57,267
You know, I think
everything just comes full circle,
1268
01:13:57,350 --> 01:14:00,520
and everything's meant to be.
And it's just surreal to win here.
1269
01:14:00,603 --> 01:14:02,981
And I can't wait to kiss these bricks
with my team,
1270
01:14:03,064 --> 01:14:06,151
my family, my friends, everybody.
My parents are here.
1271
01:14:09,821 --> 01:14:15,326
I would've liked to have done it in May,
but this is a nice substitute.
1272
01:14:15,410 --> 01:14:16,744
Little redemption.
1273
01:14:16,828 --> 01:14:18,329
Get it back.
1274
01:14:19,956 --> 01:14:24,127
Just gotta keep our fingers crossed
that he gets to do the 500 one more time.
1275
01:14:51,946 --> 01:14:53,990
{\an8}- Hey, man. How ya doin'?
- What's up, boss?
1276
01:14:54,073 --> 01:14:55,867
- Good to see ya.
- Nice to see you.
1277
01:14:55,950 --> 01:14:58,036
Good to see you, man.
Lookin' good.
1278
01:14:58,119 --> 01:14:59,871
We're not in trouble, are we?
1279
01:14:59,954 --> 01:15:02,165
Anytime you call a meeting,
we're not sure.
1280
01:15:02,248 --> 01:15:05,335
No, I had a couple of things
I wanted to talk to you about.
1281
01:15:05,418 --> 01:15:08,546
Listen, I've been thinkin' about it,
and, uh,
1282
01:15:08,630 --> 01:15:11,549
we didn't finish the job at Indy.
1283
01:15:11,633 --> 01:15:13,051
But I want to do it again.
1284
01:15:14,427 --> 01:15:15,929
But there's some conditions.
1285
01:15:16,012 --> 01:15:17,722
- All right.
- Okay?
1286
01:15:17,805 --> 01:15:20,308
No matter what, NASCAR is first.
1287
01:15:20,391 --> 01:15:22,185
- Mm-hmm.
- So...
1288
01:15:22,268 --> 01:15:24,812
if you're leading the race,
1289
01:15:24,896 --> 01:15:27,857
and we have a designated time
we have to leave,
1290
01:15:27,941 --> 01:15:29,359
then you gotta stop.
1291
01:15:29,442 --> 01:15:31,319
- Yep.
- Can you do that?
1292
01:15:31,402 --> 01:15:33,571
I can definitely do that.
1293
01:15:33,655 --> 01:15:36,324
Yeah, I think it's fair
to Cliff and the team, too.
1294
01:15:36,407 --> 01:15:39,118
It's just hard.
It was hard to, uh,
1295
01:15:39,202 --> 01:15:40,787
yeah, see it all kinda crumble.
1296
01:15:40,870 --> 01:15:43,081
It was such a great opportunity,
1297
01:15:43,164 --> 01:15:45,959
and we just didn't
get a chance to finish it.
1298
01:15:46,042 --> 01:15:48,503
- Yeah.
- It's a shame
1299
01:15:48,586 --> 01:15:49,963
not to finish the deal.
1300
01:15:52,507 --> 01:15:55,677
I don't know where my life
would be, you know, without Rick.
1301
01:15:55,760 --> 01:15:58,721
He was really the only one,
you know, in 2020,
1302
01:15:58,805 --> 01:16:03,351
that was willing and able
to take a chance on me.
1303
01:16:13,903 --> 01:16:18,199
{\an8}Kyle Larson, the 29 year old
from Elk Grove, California, on pole.
1304
01:16:18,283 --> 01:16:22,412
{\an8}He could be the favorite to claim
his first Cup Series championship.
1305
01:16:22,495 --> 01:16:26,165
A year and a half ago,
it would have been hard to imagine
1306
01:16:26,249 --> 01:16:28,376
Kyle Larson being in this position.
1307
01:16:28,459 --> 01:16:31,296
He was reinstated by NASCAR
for 2021,
1308
01:16:31,379 --> 01:16:34,048
and given a second chance
by Rick Hendrick.
1309
01:16:35,633 --> 01:16:39,470
I had to be careful. You know,
I wouldn't do something
1310
01:16:39,554 --> 01:16:43,057
that would hurt our company,
our name, our brand.
1311
01:16:43,141 --> 01:16:48,479
But after seeing what he was doing,
and, uh, how much...
1312
01:16:48,563 --> 01:16:52,066
I mean, he just laid his heart out
for everybody.
1313
01:16:52,150 --> 01:16:55,320
When I looked at that,
I thought, you know, hey,
1314
01:16:55,403 --> 01:16:58,781
you know, this...
Everybody deserves a second chance.
1315
01:16:58,865 --> 01:17:02,076
I think he came in wanting
to prove himself in multiple ways.
1316
01:17:02,160 --> 01:17:04,078
{\an8}You know, kind of rectifying his mistake,
1317
01:17:04,162 --> 01:17:06,873
{\an8}and wanting to showcase
his true character.
1318
01:17:06,956 --> 01:17:10,835
I don't think any of us expected
the year to turn out the way that it did.
1319
01:17:10,918 --> 01:17:15,548
Kyle Larson wins the Coca-Cola 600.
1320
01:17:15,631 --> 01:17:18,634
Kyle Larson wins Las Vegas.
1321
01:17:18,718 --> 01:17:21,137
Kyle Larson wins in Sonoma.
1322
01:17:21,220 --> 01:17:23,306
Three wins in a row.
1323
01:17:23,389 --> 01:17:25,516
Larson's gonna win in Bristol!
1324
01:17:27,602 --> 01:17:29,979
Every race I went to, I feel like he won.
1325
01:17:30,063 --> 01:17:35,443
And like, it was the amount of distance
he put between him and the competition.
1326
01:17:35,526 --> 01:17:38,404
It was like domination.
That was the best for me.
1327
01:17:39,989 --> 01:17:44,452
Little over a year prior, I didn't
think I would even be back in NASCAR.
1328
01:17:44,535 --> 01:17:48,331
And then, to have the season that we did.
Then, it come down to one race.
1329
01:17:48,414 --> 01:17:51,959
Like, it's just, I don't know,
it was really special.
1330
01:17:52,960 --> 01:17:55,380
Phoenix championship.
This must be the pit stop.
1331
01:17:55,463 --> 01:17:57,590
So, we actually came down Pit Road fourth.
1332
01:17:57,673 --> 01:18:00,676
And man, our pit crew nailed it.
1333
01:18:00,760 --> 01:18:02,762
Lawson's spot on the last stop.
1334
01:18:02,845 --> 01:18:05,098
They have been the best
throughout the playoffs.
1335
01:18:05,181 --> 01:18:07,934
Let's see if they can deliver here.
And they do!
1336
01:18:08,017 --> 01:18:11,145
Kyle Larson lead on a close drag race.
1337
01:18:11,229 --> 01:18:14,315
Gained three spots for Larson there.
Incredible.
1338
01:18:14,399 --> 01:18:18,152
That's it. The move
of the race so far. It was a lucky break.
1339
01:18:18,236 --> 01:18:21,280
Amazing pit stop, and then,
we just had that track position advantage,
1340
01:18:21,364 --> 01:18:23,449
I think for the final 30 laps.
1341
01:18:23,533 --> 01:18:25,493
Down the back stretch for the final time.
1342
01:18:25,576 --> 01:18:28,746
Kyle Larson, a year ago,
watched the race from North Carolina.
1343
01:18:28,830 --> 01:18:32,125
Today, he's a Cup Series champion!
1344
01:18:32,208 --> 01:18:34,377
Oh, my God, guys!
1345
01:18:34,460 --> 01:18:36,003
Yes!
1346
01:18:36,087 --> 01:18:38,131
Yes!
1347
01:18:38,214 --> 01:18:42,009
Pit crew, this is all on you guys.
1348
01:18:42,093 --> 01:18:44,220
Unbelievable. You guys are the best.
1349
01:18:44,303 --> 01:18:47,849
Thank you! Thanks, Cliff!
Thanks, everybody!
1350
01:18:50,184 --> 01:18:53,646
Every piece of our team
was important that day.
1351
01:18:53,729 --> 01:18:57,400
And we won. And I couldn't believe,
1352
01:18:57,483 --> 01:19:00,194
like where we had come as a family,
1353
01:19:00,278 --> 01:19:03,698
and yeah, I just remember
being overcome with emotion.
1354
01:19:06,617 --> 01:19:07,660
I see you.
1355
01:19:09,745 --> 01:19:11,539
You better be crying, boy.
1356
01:19:45,573 --> 01:19:48,493
Kyle, he mentioned
the phrase "unfinished business."
1357
01:19:48,576 --> 01:19:52,663
{\an8}You're going to do this again.
What are your goals and expectations now,
1358
01:19:52,747 --> 01:19:54,916
{\an8}knowing what you learned this last time?
1359
01:19:54,999 --> 01:19:58,586
I would say my goal's
to complete 1,100 miles.
1360
01:19:58,669 --> 01:20:00,546
Um, it was really cool
1361
01:20:00,630 --> 01:20:02,798
to do the Indy 500. But yeah,
1362
01:20:02,882 --> 01:20:05,843
to me, it's all about
getting that 1,100 miles.
1363
01:20:20,733 --> 01:20:23,861
Is there anything else different besides
these lights compared to last year?
1364
01:20:23,945 --> 01:20:24,904
No.
1365
01:20:30,243 --> 01:20:31,244
How's that feel?
1366
01:20:31,327 --> 01:20:32,912
I think everything feels normal.
1367
01:20:39,252 --> 01:20:41,754
I like it. A lot nicer than last year.
1368
01:20:41,837 --> 01:20:43,756
Yeah, no, it looks good.
1369
01:20:47,218 --> 01:20:51,347
Really, the easiest part of the decision
was the story's not finished.
1370
01:20:53,975 --> 01:20:57,812
Kyle Larson about
to become the third winningest driver
1371
01:20:57,895 --> 01:20:59,772
for Hendrick Motor Sports
1372
01:20:59,855 --> 01:21:02,775
behind Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson.
1373
01:21:02,858 --> 01:21:04,527
For his 30th career win,
1374
01:21:04,610 --> 01:21:07,697
Kyle Larson wins in Homestead.
1375
01:21:16,414 --> 01:21:18,165
- Hey, guys.
- How are you?
1376
01:21:18,249 --> 01:21:19,125
Good.
1377
01:21:19,208 --> 01:21:22,336
One of the big questions
we want to answer, button layout,
1378
01:21:22,420 --> 01:21:25,298
is deploy and manual re-jump.
1379
01:21:26,924 --> 01:21:30,219
Sure, whatever.
Just more going on now.
1380
01:21:30,303 --> 01:21:31,679
Yep.
1381
01:21:34,348 --> 01:21:37,685
Kyle Larson
dominates and wins Bristol.
1382
01:21:37,768 --> 01:21:41,564
I'll tell you what.
That five car is a rocket ship.
1383
01:21:52,575 --> 01:21:55,119
Live at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway
1384
01:21:55,202 --> 01:21:59,248
for today's Indianapolis 500 open test.
1385
01:21:59,332 --> 01:22:00,625
- Hey, how are ya?
- I'm Jeremy.
1386
01:22:00,708 --> 01:22:01,792
Jeremy? Kyle.
1387
01:22:01,876 --> 01:22:03,586
- So, you're on my team this year?
- Yep.
1388
01:22:03,669 --> 01:22:04,920
Okay, cool.
1389
01:22:13,763 --> 01:22:15,222
Aw, we crashed.
1390
01:22:19,644 --> 01:22:22,313
Welcome to the club.
1391
01:22:23,481 --> 01:22:25,399
Again, it happens.
1392
01:22:25,483 --> 01:22:27,777
I feel like shit that I fucked up.
1393
01:22:27,860 --> 01:22:29,236
Hey, better today.
1394
01:22:29,320 --> 01:22:30,946
Yes, it is the best thing to do.
1395
01:22:31,030 --> 01:22:32,114
Yeah, yeah.
1396
01:22:33,616 --> 01:22:36,077
See the rubber
comin' off that right front?
1397
01:22:36,160 --> 01:22:39,288
Here he comes off turn four.
He's gonna make it to the line.
1398
01:22:39,372 --> 01:22:42,667
Kyle Larson. He beat Christopher Bell.
1399
01:22:42,750 --> 01:22:44,877
I could do this all day, all day.
1400
01:22:44,960 --> 01:22:46,337
Kansas; check.
1401
01:22:59,934 --> 01:23:04,480
Practice here at IMS
for the 109th Indy 500 begins.
1402
01:23:07,400 --> 01:23:08,818
Oh, that was better.
1403
01:23:18,661 --> 01:23:22,498
Well, so far, the weather forecast
looks better than it did last year.
1404
01:23:22,581 --> 01:23:26,711
{\an8}So, uh, I would say, you know,
chances are definitely better.
1405
01:23:26,794 --> 01:23:28,629
{\an8}But still they're two tough races...
1406
01:23:40,975 --> 01:23:44,812
Welcome to the racing capital of the world.
1407
01:23:44,895 --> 01:23:49,817
There is nothing on Earth
like qualifying for the Indy 500.
1408
01:23:51,110 --> 01:23:55,448
Kyle Larson leading
NASCAR Cup Series in points
1409
01:23:55,531 --> 01:23:57,366
attempting to do the Double.
1410
01:24:01,871 --> 01:24:07,251
Over the line!
It is a 231.326 narrowly outside.
1411
01:24:07,334 --> 01:24:10,588
It does at least
get him out of the danger zone.
1412
01:24:11,672 --> 01:24:13,132
I gotta go to this debrief.
1413
01:24:13,215 --> 01:24:14,675
Okay. We're gonna eat dinner.
1414
01:24:16,177 --> 01:24:17,386
You're a legend, sir.
1415
01:24:17,470 --> 01:24:19,221
- I hope you win Sunday, Kyle.
- Thanks.
1416
01:24:20,931 --> 01:24:22,308
Audrey, you comin'?
1417
01:24:25,102 --> 01:24:27,563
I think there's a lot of pressure
on all of us.
1418
01:24:27,646 --> 01:24:29,565
We've been doing quite well.
1419
01:24:29,648 --> 01:24:31,942
The expectations
of everybody here is to win,
1420
01:24:32,026 --> 01:24:34,904
but don't forget about this place
1421
01:24:34,987 --> 01:24:37,281
can really take a big toll on anyone.
1422
01:25:12,107 --> 01:25:14,985
As I'm taking off,
you know, in the helicopter...
1423
01:25:17,780 --> 01:25:21,200
looking down at the track just,
you know, really disappointed.
1424
01:25:22,451 --> 01:25:25,788
Can't believe
that it's going the way that it is.
1425
01:25:36,048 --> 01:25:39,260
Kyle Larson,
he's got to head to Charlotte really soon,
1426
01:25:39,343 --> 01:25:40,845
but we've had some rain drops.
1427
01:25:40,928 --> 01:25:43,597
He has about a 40 minute window
if the race is delayed.
1428
01:25:43,681 --> 01:25:46,392
Beyond that,
he's going to have to abort.
1429
01:25:46,475 --> 01:25:49,520
Ah, damn, man,
we just cannot catch a break.
1430
01:25:49,603 --> 01:25:53,899
So you know, worst case scenario
is we can be out of here at 4:30.
1431
01:25:53,983 --> 01:25:55,484
Four-thirty is the deadline.
1432
01:25:55,568 --> 01:25:56,986
We don't want to tell people that.
1433
01:25:57,069 --> 01:25:57,945
No, no, of course.
1434
01:25:58,028 --> 01:26:02,199
So, just for your information
right now, we're about 20 minutes behind.
1435
01:26:03,284 --> 01:26:06,245
I don't know if it's
the right thing to do, Mike, but tell him.
1436
01:26:06,328 --> 01:26:08,455
- I think it completely is.
- Yeah.
1437
01:26:08,539 --> 01:26:12,001
'Cause you know he's thinkin' about it,
so, might as well help him.
1438
01:26:15,129 --> 01:26:17,256
The weather is just pissin' enough
1439
01:26:17,339 --> 01:26:19,758
that it's like, you know,
we can't start the race.
1440
01:26:19,842 --> 01:26:22,595
Now it's delayed at 45 minutes.
1441
01:26:22,678 --> 01:26:27,266
So, I'm frustrated and checkin' my watch.
'Cause I knew all along,
1442
01:26:27,349 --> 01:26:31,770
you're only gonna have like
45 minutes tops of delay.
1443
01:26:31,854 --> 01:26:34,106
I knew we were
right to the edge of it.
1444
01:26:34,940 --> 01:26:36,984
I mean, he's gonna start
no matter what,
1445
01:26:37,067 --> 01:26:39,445
it's just whether or not
we have to pull him out.
1446
01:26:39,528 --> 01:26:40,821
You know? So...
1447
01:26:42,448 --> 01:26:45,910
we just gotta get the green and go
and see what happens.
1448
01:26:54,043 --> 01:26:56,295
'Kay, Kyle, they just gave us an update.
1449
01:26:56,378 --> 01:26:59,131
It should be five minutes
till we're starting engines.
1450
01:27:00,341 --> 01:27:01,884
Let's go.
1451
01:27:01,967 --> 01:27:04,386
- He's getting a little anxious.
- Yes, he is.
1452
01:27:04,470 --> 01:27:06,013
Just have to go.
1453
01:27:06,096 --> 01:27:09,558
Drivers, start your engines!
1454
01:27:17,983 --> 01:27:21,278
'Kay, Kyle,
it's gonna be green next time by.
1455
01:27:21,362 --> 01:27:23,948
Green, green, green.
We are green.
1456
01:27:30,621 --> 01:27:31,914
Still there?
1457
01:27:33,123 --> 01:27:34,291
Clear.
1458
01:27:43,759 --> 01:27:48,389
Just, damn. Like, [scoffs] you idiot.
1459
01:27:48,472 --> 01:27:52,017
The first opportunity in the race,
you just fuck it up.
1460
01:27:52,101 --> 01:27:54,603
'Kay, Kyle, this is yellow for conditions.
1461
01:27:54,687 --> 01:27:58,399
Pits are open. Three, two, one.
1462
01:28:08,409 --> 01:28:11,161
Fire it up with the... with the hybrid.
1463
01:28:12,413 --> 01:28:16,542
P2 and then the switch above...
the switch above the brake bias.
1464
01:28:17,626 --> 01:28:19,086
This thing is in neutral.
1465
01:28:19,169 --> 01:28:22,047
There's problems
for Larson as well in the 17, the McLaren.
1466
01:28:22,131 --> 01:28:24,341
Tryin' to get that car restarted.
1467
01:28:24,425 --> 01:28:26,135
Rock the car.
1468
01:28:26,218 --> 01:28:28,262
Rock the car?
1469
01:28:29,388 --> 01:28:31,056
Kyle can you do a divert?
1470
01:28:34,685 --> 01:28:37,187
Hey, Kyle,
there on that it looked like
1471
01:28:37,271 --> 01:28:39,148
we didn't hold the throttle long enough.
1472
01:28:39,231 --> 01:28:41,692
Yeah, I think
I ended up in second gear, too,
1473
01:28:41,775 --> 01:28:45,654
'cause I heard the tone and I shifted,
but I wasn't sure it went into first.
1474
01:28:46,572 --> 01:28:48,866
And I hit it again and went into second.
1475
01:28:48,949 --> 01:28:51,285
Yep, copy that.
No worries, still a long race.
1476
01:28:51,368 --> 01:28:52,995
We're only on lap 25.
1477
01:28:57,875 --> 01:28:59,877
You know,
when you make a mistake,
1478
01:28:59,960 --> 01:29:03,255
big or small, like,
it's not good to live in that too long.
1479
01:29:03,338 --> 01:29:05,549
You just get refocused.
1480
01:29:08,552 --> 01:29:10,679
Outside... clear.
1481
01:29:11,722 --> 01:29:13,807
Brake three, brake three.
1482
01:29:13,891 --> 01:29:16,685
Outside, still there. Clear.
1483
01:29:16,769 --> 01:29:18,437
He's gone to minus 8 on the jacker.
1484
01:29:20,773 --> 01:29:23,192
Green, we are green.
1485
01:29:26,987 --> 01:29:29,239
Outside, outside, out--
1486
01:29:31,450 --> 01:29:32,701
We got a spinner.
1487
01:29:32,785 --> 01:29:33,911
Kyle Larson!
1488
01:29:33,994 --> 01:29:36,413
Larson hits Gibson.
1489
01:29:36,497 --> 01:29:39,166
I think Sting Ray Robb
was caught up in that, as well.
1490
01:29:39,249 --> 01:29:41,251
It is game over for Larson.
1491
01:29:41,335 --> 01:29:44,213
And that is the Double,
done and dusted.
1492
01:29:50,385 --> 01:29:53,680
I was just too close
to the guy in front of me.
1493
01:29:53,764 --> 01:29:57,810
{\an8}Where if I had just given
three more feet of space,
1494
01:29:57,893 --> 01:30:00,479
{\an8}you know, it probably would've been fine.
1495
01:30:03,440 --> 01:30:08,320
I had moved on enough that
I was in a fresh headspace for the 600.
1496
01:30:08,403 --> 01:30:11,448
And happy for a new opportunity
to kinda make up
1497
01:30:11,532 --> 01:30:14,409
for what was so bad at Indy.
1498
01:30:14,493 --> 01:30:19,665
Here to introduce number five,
Kyle Larson. Whoo!
1499
01:30:19,748 --> 01:30:22,709
And starting on the pole tonight...
1500
01:30:26,922 --> 01:30:28,632
Good luck, Kyle.
1501
01:30:33,387 --> 01:30:35,430
{\an8}Seriously, like, way to be a warrior.
1502
01:30:35,514 --> 01:30:37,099
{\an8}- Thank you.
- It's frickin' awesome.
1503
01:30:37,182 --> 01:30:39,393
{\an8}Yeah. You know
how many people try to do it?
1504
01:30:39,476 --> 01:30:42,855
- So, like, seriously, a lot of respect.
- Thanks.
1505
01:30:42,938 --> 01:30:44,356
Gentlemen...
1506
01:30:44,439 --> 01:30:47,860
Start your engines!
1507
01:30:51,864 --> 01:30:53,282
He's locked in.
1508
01:30:54,741 --> 01:30:56,785
Roll up along here.
1509
01:30:56,869 --> 01:30:59,037
Don't push it, don't push.
1510
01:31:00,831 --> 01:31:01,790
It's go time.
1511
01:31:03,584 --> 01:31:06,545
Look at Larson.
Straight out of that Indy car
1512
01:31:06,628 --> 01:31:08,630
right into the stock car
here at NASCAR.
1513
01:31:08,714 --> 01:31:11,133
On the throttle.
Gonna lead lap one.
1514
01:31:12,593 --> 01:31:14,052
Puts you in 19th, on the three.
1515
01:31:14,136 --> 01:31:15,888
You're now on the three.
1516
01:31:15,971 --> 01:31:17,264
Still on the three.
1517
01:31:18,223 --> 01:31:19,391
It amazes me how quickly
1518
01:31:19,474 --> 01:31:21,393
Larson gets acclimated to this stock car.
1519
01:31:21,476 --> 01:31:23,562
You know, battle for the lead on lap one.
1520
01:31:23,645 --> 01:31:25,105
He's trying to take the lead
from his teammate.
1521
01:31:25,189 --> 01:31:28,066
I've never seen
any athlete with a shorter memory
1522
01:31:28,150 --> 01:31:31,778
than Kyle Larson.
He can forget adversity like that.
1523
01:31:31,862 --> 01:31:33,906
And here he is, once again,
1524
01:31:33,989 --> 01:31:36,533
pulling with a little bit of wiggle
in front of Byron.
1525
01:31:40,662 --> 01:31:43,123
Kyle Larson continues to lead.
1526
01:31:43,207 --> 01:31:46,585
Doin' good, nice and smooth.
Coming to lap 30 at the line.
1527
01:31:53,967 --> 01:31:55,302
Just hit the wall.
1528
01:31:55,385 --> 01:31:57,763
I feel like
something's messed up but I'm not sure.
1529
01:31:57,846 --> 01:31:59,723
We don't see anything obvious.
1530
01:32:03,644 --> 01:32:06,438
There goes Kyle Larson
sliding off the corner.
1531
01:32:06,521 --> 01:32:08,106
First caution of the night.
1532
01:32:08,190 --> 01:32:09,608
Keep it straight.
1533
01:32:12,945 --> 01:32:16,823
Kyle Larson,
he spun out there on his own on lap 43
1534
01:32:16,907 --> 01:32:18,116
with a four second lead.
1535
01:32:18,200 --> 01:32:19,910
Kinda broke my heart, you know.
1536
01:32:19,993 --> 01:32:22,621
I obviously
didn't hit anything there, but...
1537
01:32:22,704 --> 01:32:25,332
I did hit the wall pretty hard.
Sorry.
1538
01:32:25,415 --> 01:32:27,000
Nothing to be sorry about, man.
1539
01:32:27,084 --> 01:32:29,753
This time, we're gonna pit,
and then may not pit again,
1540
01:32:29,836 --> 01:32:31,129
and work on the car itself.
1541
01:32:31,213 --> 01:32:32,547
Okay.
1542
01:32:34,007 --> 01:32:35,759
Get out of the fuckin' way!
1543
01:32:35,842 --> 01:32:37,344
Lookin' left, watch this guy.
1544
01:32:37,427 --> 01:32:39,888
Keep comin' along. Good.
1545
01:32:41,431 --> 01:32:44,309
We're gonna change tires
and you're gonna stay in your stall.
1546
01:32:45,477 --> 01:32:47,771
All right, swap over.
Pit crew, swap over.
1547
01:32:47,854 --> 01:32:50,482
Road crew, go.
Raise the hood if you're going to.
1548
01:32:50,565 --> 01:32:52,943
Kyle, be ready to turn the wheels.
1549
01:32:53,026 --> 01:32:54,820
- Everything from the right rear.
- Okay.
1550
01:32:56,780 --> 01:32:58,615
Nothin'? You good? Back away.
1551
01:32:58,699 --> 01:32:59,825
Should've given a tough job.
1552
01:32:59,908 --> 01:33:01,410
All right, you're good, Kyle. Go.
1553
01:33:05,747 --> 01:33:08,667
Is there anything
you want to do right now?
1554
01:33:08,750 --> 01:33:10,252
I have no idea what to do.
1555
01:33:10,335 --> 01:33:12,087
- Honestly.
- Yeah.
1556
01:33:12,170 --> 01:33:16,049
Feels like it's kinda floaty
down the straightaway.
1557
01:33:18,176 --> 01:33:23,015
When we pit, we're probably gonna make
three pit stops under this caution.
1558
01:33:24,725 --> 01:33:27,185
You're gonna stay in the stall.
We're gonna work on it.
1559
01:33:28,145 --> 01:33:29,813
Check the rear, check the rear.
1560
01:33:29,896 --> 01:33:32,065
Pace car entry to Pit Road.
1561
01:33:32,149 --> 01:33:34,735
You don't have time, you gotta go.
Pull away, pull away.
1562
01:33:34,818 --> 01:33:37,529
One outside, one outside.
1563
01:33:37,612 --> 01:33:39,239
We don't know about the rear, right?
1564
01:33:39,323 --> 01:33:41,616
We're pitting again.
1565
01:33:41,700 --> 01:33:43,076
Keep coming, keep coming.
1566
01:33:43,160 --> 01:33:44,911
They're workin' on this five car.
1567
01:33:44,995 --> 01:33:47,039
Every time they come down Pit Road,
they'll do this.
1568
01:33:47,122 --> 01:33:49,916
Tryin' to get this car
where they have a shot to win this race.
1569
01:33:50,000 --> 01:33:51,460
We're gonna pit again.
1570
01:33:51,543 --> 01:33:53,628
Don't slide 'em. Right here on the side.
1571
01:33:53,712 --> 01:33:54,880
Workin' on front tow.
1572
01:33:54,963 --> 01:33:57,090
They came down with the entire field,
1573
01:33:57,174 --> 01:33:59,426
worked on it, did not get it
where it needed to be.
1574
01:33:59,509 --> 01:34:01,970
So, the third time Kyle Larson
on Pit Road to fix that toe.
1575
01:34:02,054 --> 01:34:03,388
Clear, go, go.
1576
01:34:03,472 --> 01:34:04,639
Lights all the way here.
1577
01:34:04,723 --> 01:34:06,725
All in. Where are you? Two rounds?
1578
01:34:06,808 --> 01:34:08,727
Round and a half, probably.
1579
01:34:08,810 --> 01:34:10,937
That is so much.
1580
01:34:11,021 --> 01:34:12,481
We think we're right.
1581
01:34:12,564 --> 01:34:15,650
And we know this car is tough.
We just gotta battle our way back.
1582
01:34:15,734 --> 01:34:20,614
Outside. Bottom three.
Still bottom three. Still bottom three.
1583
01:34:20,697 --> 01:34:23,075
Before the spin,
the laptimes are there.
1584
01:34:23,158 --> 01:34:26,995
{\an8}They'll settle in. Long race.
He wants to make it a show for us tonight.
1585
01:34:27,079 --> 01:34:29,414
I see what you're fighting.
I see it.
1586
01:34:31,875 --> 01:34:34,211
Larson just got back on the lead lap.
1587
01:34:34,294 --> 01:34:36,963
Still out there, quarter.
All clear, all clear.
1588
01:34:44,721 --> 01:34:48,433
Restart here with 57 to go. Stage three.
1589
01:34:49,601 --> 01:34:52,020
You're about halfway through.
1590
01:34:52,104 --> 01:34:53,522
About half. You're good.
1591
01:34:56,900 --> 01:34:58,777
Oh, big wreck!
1592
01:34:58,860 --> 01:35:01,029
Watch it, watch it.
1593
01:35:01,113 --> 01:35:02,322
Whoa, whoa.
1594
01:35:02,406 --> 01:35:04,783
More cars getting contact there.
1595
01:35:04,866 --> 01:35:07,411
Huge crash. The five, the seven.
1596
01:35:07,494 --> 01:35:08,829
Wow.
1597
01:35:10,288 --> 01:35:13,458
I don't know
if I've got a broken suspension or a flat.
1598
01:35:13,542 --> 01:35:16,795
I think we're just gonna
go to the garage. Let's just DVP area.
1599
01:35:16,878 --> 01:35:18,088
Let's go get it rebuilt.
1600
01:35:18,171 --> 01:35:20,841
Pull to the garage straight through.
1601
01:35:32,894 --> 01:35:34,354
In our garage stall.
1602
01:35:46,950 --> 01:35:49,578
Officially done.
We're done, guys. We're done.
1603
01:36:21,985 --> 01:36:23,904
I can't believe that it's real.
1604
01:36:26,698 --> 01:36:29,743
You're just hopeful
that you're gonna wake up from some dream,
1605
01:36:29,826 --> 01:36:31,703
and you get to start the day all over.
1606
01:36:33,580 --> 01:36:36,458
I've been thinking about this
for a long time,
1607
01:36:36,541 --> 01:36:37,959
and preparing for it,
1608
01:36:38,043 --> 01:36:41,296
and I just completely
choked away the day.
1609
01:36:42,255 --> 01:36:45,717
I wouldn't say it's the worst,
you know, experience that I've had,
1610
01:36:45,800 --> 01:36:47,552
or feeling.
1611
01:36:48,512 --> 01:36:49,721
You know, I would say...
1612
01:36:51,139 --> 01:36:54,434
2020, you know,
uh, when I got in trouble,
1613
01:36:54,518 --> 01:36:58,313
that was by far the worst
I ever felt about myself.
1614
01:36:58,396 --> 01:37:00,899
I just wanted to be perfect,
you know, for everybody.
1615
01:37:00,982 --> 01:37:02,067
Um...
1616
01:37:03,193 --> 01:37:06,404
And when I say perfect,
I don't mean, like, winning, either.
1617
01:37:06,488 --> 01:37:10,325
I just, you know,
some solid finishes
1618
01:37:10,408 --> 01:37:16,039
to, you know, you know,
make everybody at Hendrick happy.
1619
01:37:16,122 --> 01:37:21,044
I wanted this, you know,
documentary to go great
1620
01:37:21,127 --> 01:37:23,046
and have a happy ending,
1621
01:37:24,172 --> 01:37:26,925
and paint this beautiful picture
and stuff.
1622
01:37:27,008 --> 01:37:30,971
So, I think, like, after not, you know,
doing a good job, it's just like, ugh.
1623
01:37:32,347 --> 01:37:33,431
You know?
1624
01:37:34,391 --> 01:37:37,519
It's just, I don't know,
just the weight and the pressure, I guess.
1625
01:38:02,794 --> 01:38:04,713
I'll try out on the bottom.
1626
01:38:04,796 --> 01:38:07,299
And like, you can run the top
behind me.
1627
01:38:07,382 --> 01:38:10,302
So, you know how the clutch feels
when you take off?
1628
01:38:10,385 --> 01:38:13,388
Like, when you take off from here
and
1629
01:38:13,471 --> 01:38:15,015
and it goes.
1630
01:38:15,098 --> 01:38:17,934
It's the same thing,
you're just going a little bit faster.
1631
01:38:18,018 --> 01:38:19,811
- Just let it go.
- Yeah.
1632
01:38:19,894 --> 01:38:21,521
We'll just keep doing starts.
1633
01:38:21,605 --> 01:38:23,064
Okay?
1634
01:38:42,042 --> 01:38:43,585
I don't mind it being a sad...
1635
01:38:45,128 --> 01:38:47,797
documentary. I think it's good.
1636
01:38:47,881 --> 01:38:49,507
I think it's good to show
1637
01:38:50,675 --> 01:38:52,719
that it's tough.
Like, what I do is tough.
1638
01:38:52,802 --> 01:38:55,388
And is not always...
It's not always perfect.
1639
01:39:22,123 --> 01:39:25,669
I wouldn't call
the whole experience a failure,
1640
01:39:25,752 --> 01:39:28,004
I get that question often.
1641
01:39:28,088 --> 01:39:32,092
Like, why would I go
risk my reputation in doing the Double
1642
01:39:32,175 --> 01:39:34,177
and failing,
if you want to call it that.
1643
01:39:35,804 --> 01:39:38,598
I mean, how many race car drivers
are there in the world?
1644
01:39:38,682 --> 01:39:42,143
And how many have had the courage
to try and do both?
1645
01:39:45,522 --> 01:39:48,525
I mean, I regret making the mistakes
that I made on the track,
1646
01:39:48,608 --> 01:39:51,736
but I don't regret anything.
1647
01:39:51,820 --> 01:39:55,281
You know, that's just kinda how
I think racers are.
1648
01:39:56,157 --> 01:39:59,577
It's like we're drug addicts, honestly.
1649
01:40:02,414 --> 01:40:06,209
You know, I think, like, why do I race
you know, as much as I do?
1650
01:40:06,292 --> 01:40:11,506
My kids are gettin' to a great age where
I don't want to miss out on everything.
1651
01:40:11,589 --> 01:40:13,883
It's hard. It's really hard.
1652
01:40:13,967 --> 01:40:16,428
But win one race, and then,
1653
01:40:17,554 --> 01:40:21,141
you just become addicted again.
It's fuckin' pumpin' in my veins.
1654
01:40:42,579 --> 01:40:46,583
{\an8}Incredible day, incredible scenes.
1655
01:40:46,666 --> 01:40:50,253
{\an8}And the 33-year-old
from Elk Grove, California
1656
01:40:50,336 --> 01:40:54,716
{\an8}Kyle Larson comes to the line
and is a two-time champion.
1657
01:40:54,799 --> 01:40:58,887
Yeah! Let's go, team! Let's go!
1658
01:40:58,970 --> 01:41:00,138
I can't believe it!
1659
01:41:00,221 --> 01:41:02,182
Way to go, champ!
1660
01:41:11,316 --> 01:41:14,861
You guys have been very vocal
about all the adversity this year.
1661
01:41:14,944 --> 01:41:17,781
Does that make championship number two
a little bit sweeter?
1662
01:41:17,864 --> 01:41:20,325
Oh, no doubt, 100%.
1663
01:41:30,335 --> 01:41:33,671
I can't believe it. I feel like
I'm in some sort of dream right now,
1664
01:41:33,755 --> 01:41:36,090
and I'm gonna wake up
and I'm gonna be upset.
1665
01:41:36,174 --> 01:41:38,593
It's okay, you can pinch yourself
because you are indeed
1666
01:41:38,676 --> 01:41:40,929
a two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion.
