00:00It's Daytona, and we know what Daytona means, blocking.
00:04We saw plenty of it.
00:05We saw accidents.
00:06We saw all the big ones.
00:07Yeah, I don't want to talk about that.
00:09That's just a given at Daytona in Talladega.
00:11I want to talk about Kyle Busch.
00:13Has he forgotten how to speedway race?
00:16Why didn't God's name happen?
00:18He has control of the race on a green white checkered.
00:21He has the inside line.
00:22He gets there with his friend, Christopher Bale, who's going to help him because they
00:26were teammates at one point in time.
00:28They take the green flag.
00:29They take control of the race.
00:30They run on the bottom of the racetrack that first lap.
00:33Harrison Burton and Parker Retzlaff on the outside in that 62 car, who had the biggest
00:38influence on the outcome of the race.
00:40Yeah, I know he finished seventh, but he changed the complexion of this race.
00:44Come back around, take the white flag.
00:47They come off turn two.
00:48Kyle Busch is on the inside, and who comes up on the outside?
00:52Harrison Burton with Parker right behind him, slamming him to the front.
00:56And as soon as Harrison Burton gets to the front, what does he do?
00:59He pulls down and he blocks Kyle Busch.
01:01Has Kyle Busch never watched Joey Logano or Brad Keselowski take control of a speedway
01:06race?
01:07Does he not know what video is?
01:09Somebody needs to send him a DVR, a TiVo, whatever it is.
01:13Send him some old race footage so he understands this.
01:16Come off turn four, the 21 car of Harrison Burton goes to the inside, below the line,
01:21comes back up, below, whatever.
01:22I don't care.
01:23It doesn't make any difference.
01:24It's all legal.
01:25He takes control of the race, grabs it, wins the race, and guess what?
01:28Kyle Busch is still on the outside looking in and looking for a win in 2024, and that's
01:33all on him.
01:34That's all on him.
01:36What I do want to say, though, great race for Harrison Burton.
01:39Great first win.
01:40So many guys have won their first race with the Wood Brothers.
01:43Kyle Petty, Dale Jarrett, Trevor Bayne, Ryan Blaney, Elliott Sadler.
01:49I can go down the list.
01:50David Pearson won 43.
01:52Dan Gurney, Kel Yarbrough, and AJ Foyt all won their second race driving for the Wood
01:56Brothers.
01:57So congratulations to the Wood Brothers on their 100th win.
02:00Wood Brothers have been here a long time.
02:02They're going to be here a long time.
