through the olympics, they switch out of these suits, the new ones. went to the old ones. and they were still lousy. so it wasn t the suits. it was the skaters. the suits are kind of cool looking. they kind of look like, you know, killer whales. that is pretty cool. can we talk about nascar today? there was some breaking news. daytona 500 delayed because of bad weather. austin dylan, an up and comer, drives the number 3 car. same number driven be i the great dale earnhardt. what s wrong with someone new driving the number 3? this is disgusting. at least from the nascar standpoint. it s sacreligious. richard childress used to drive the number 3 car back in 1970s. childress is also the guy that
put ernrardt in the number 3 car. here s the problem with that. the number 3 car didn t become famous because of richard chi childress. it came famous because of dale earnhardt sr. the good news here is, at least they didn t paint the car black which is what the signature car for dale sr. it looks like it looks like president eisenhower may have gotten his wish many years after his death. the golf tournament, masters, is less than two months away. i usually go. i don t live in georgia anymore so i m going to miss it. this year the 17th hole will be missing from the famous eisenhower tree which former president eisenhower kept trying to have cut down because his wayward drives kept hitting that tree. last week, you know, that ice storm hit augusta really hard. the eisenhower tree is history. why is this a big deal? well, i ve covered several
this year pretty much worship at the feet of jimmie johnson who just won his sixth championship but if you hear the word nascar and think of a good ole boy you want to watch this. before he left for vegas, johnson stopped by our cnn studio and he revealed he s anything but a cliche. so, you finally had a little time to let this sink in. yes. you mentioned after you won that michael jordan won six title and you got a text. i sent when aim text. i said, now what? he said go get seven so it s time to go chase down seven. you are one title behind dale earnhardt sr. and richard petty. what does he make of you? i feel so fortunate to be in our sport at this time and have the opportunity to see the king and even before the race, he s one of the last people i talk to. putting the belts on, helmet on. he says, hey boy, you better enjoy it.
you are one title behind dale earnhardt sr. and richard petty. what does he make of you? i feel so fortunate to be in our sport at this time and have the opportunity to see the king and even before the race, he s one of the last people i talk to. putting the belts on, helmet on. he says, hey boy, you better enjoy it. it ll be over before you begin it. i was so nervous about the race and what could hopefully take place that my mind wasn t around enjoying the experience. you re not a typical stock car driver. you are from california. right. you don t have an accent. you re a little bit of an outsider and i think people who aren t big racing fans identify with new kid at the school. just trying to break into elite racing and how much sort of connections and with the humble beginnings i had, my parents couldn t afford my wheefour-wheel racing career. i walk around and pass out business cards and try to meet
