Speaker 1: So my deals were three hundred, four hundred, five hundred thousand,
Speaker 1: you know, the first few years, and to be honest
Speaker 1: with you, at the end of every summer, I was
Speaker 1: broke because in our financial literacy is something that's talked
Speaker 1: about often now, but do you think late nineties, early
Speaker 1: two thousand's it wasn't talked about now. We talked about houses, cars, jewelry, women, everything,
Speaker 1: but you know, how to save what we're all working for.
Speaker 1: So um with no background. I came from food stamps
Speaker 1: and drugs, so I didn't really have any kind of
Speaker 1: representation that showed me, you know, Okay, we'll put this
Speaker 1: away and save this and do this invest this. So,
Speaker 1: like Jack said, when it came in and went out

Speaker 1: we appreciate you having us in here. So explain to
Speaker 1: us a little bit what it is. We had to
Speaker 1: duck our heads even coming in here. So what is
Speaker 1: this like a locker room? So that's our race shop
Speaker 1: on wheels. So the hall are goes to all the
Speaker 1: races and we actually have six truck drivers. Now we're surprised.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of diversity in this that people unless
Speaker 1: you're a real fan, you don't know, like, yeah, it's
Speaker 1: just kind of a like a unknown like it's it's there,
Speaker 1: it's keeply here, and it's from all over. You know,

Speaker 1: from Europe. Now, I love it that are fed up
Speaker 1: with like one stuff, sports car stuff. There's you told
Speaker 1: us a cool story if you might re sharing it
Speaker 1: about Kobe. You went to a game in Charlotte one time,
Speaker 1: and tell us a little bit about the story you're
Speaker 1: telling us before we go on camera. That's what it's
Speaker 1: like fourth quarter moments, right, That's in NASCAR. We have
Speaker 1: three stages in our race. So the final stage is
Speaker 1: the who's who. Like, that's how you win, and you
Speaker 1: have to perform when the tracks rubber it in. It's
Speaker 1: usually the slickest. At that point. You know, you're fatigued,
Speaker 1: it's been a long day, but you've got to find
Speaker 1: that fourth quarter moment. And Yeah, I was at a
Speaker 1: at a Bobcat game. I was like a decade ago.
Speaker 1: Kobe had two points on the board. I wasn't a team.
Speaker 1: I mean, we're all there, like, what the hell is
Speaker 1: going on? Maybe just had an all fight, right, So
Speaker 1: six minutes ago, I'll remember vividly he has two points.
Speaker 1: Fourth quarter, the podcasts are up by twenty. At the
Speaker 1: end of the game, Kobe's got like twenty six points
Speaker 1: and the Lakers win, and it's just like, that's that
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, Like this is this is how it works.
Speaker 1: That's really does that's the show and that's that fourth quarter. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we appreciate you. I'm glad you guys here. You're looking
Speaker 1: forward to the race tomorrow. But you know, best of
Speaker 1: luck with your health getting back and may thanks fans,

Speaker 1: have probably a big car blood there and then go
Speaker 1: back out race. I was just about yourself. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's when I go back. I I enjoyed being by
Speaker 1: myself most of the time anyways, and like that's how
Speaker 1: like all athletes are with Yeah, with as much stuff
Speaker 1: going on that you're talking about, I mean that I
Speaker 1: think that. I mean all the way the fans and
Speaker 1: the sponsors love it, but like I couldn't imagine that
Speaker 1: the NBA player, like you couldn't really have access to
Speaker 1: be right up until I drive, Like yeah, that's what. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so that's gonna Yeah, that's definitely changed for me. I
Speaker 1: feel like it's the biggest thing for me, especially in
Speaker 1: the highest level. I feel like it's just like having
Speaker 1: everybody on top of you. Like I think that's something
Speaker 1: that's definitely changed. I don't have coping with but that's
Speaker 1: like it's been I think it's said, and then you
Speaker 1: still have to meet greeds and things. But national anthem,
Speaker 1: that's finally like that's the game. Time we're locking. That's yeah,
Speaker 1: that's when I flower zone in like National anthem like
Speaker 1: kind of don't hear it. Sometimes it's just like boom.
Speaker 1: But yeah, with us NASCAR, like we're always out there
Speaker 1: with the fans or different different moments for photos and
Speaker 1: things like, which is great, not like any other sport.
Speaker 1: And that they guaranteed to come back out. So you
Speaker 1: have a lot of specie. You're got to support. I mean,
Speaker 1: you're focuses I mean all sports and support with you're
Speaker 1: focus here. But you learned that, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Took to me and she's like when I heard that,
Speaker 1: like we really had, Like you guys don't have really
Speaker 1: a lot of your own time right before the races.
Speaker 1: It's like, wow, that's interesting. Yeah, it's just compartmentalizing it
Speaker 1: up and just separating it. Yeah. I like that, Harve
Speaker 1: and talk about that in there me you'll get there
Speaker 1: with that. Come. Yeah, that's a team. George, how healing
Speaker 1: you don't want to hit it? Gotta ask you the
Speaker 1: same question. I actually actually yeah, how he's gonna getting
Speaker 1: boxes and having shoes to show up in the house
Speaker 1: all the time. Also growing up as a big guy,
Speaker 1: I mean I grew up in the city in Charlotte,
Speaker 1: so I'm I grew up with, you know, all the
Speaker 1: shoes and everything. So I was like, you know, I
Speaker 1: always want to get my hands out in Jordans and
Speaker 1: so be able to you know race, Yeah, be able to. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the coolest thing. I like a lot of a
Speaker 1: lot of support and that's it's it's super cool. I
Speaker 1: got a great collection. Now get yeah, yeah, that's gonna.
Speaker 1: It's gonna. You know, I'm really gonna work. Let's go.
Speaker 1: I want to. It's really cool. I just signed you
Speaker 1: to get back. Do I sign today? So it's anything.
Speaker 1: What's up else? How you guys doing? Good luck to
Speaker 1: that guy you shut it? Sure? Dr Man, welcome are
Speaker 1: actually we're in your thanks another goal. We appreciate you
Speaker 1: walking to us. You go by Rocco. How did you
Speaker 1: find the MASCAR Sport Career Services away Forest University Athletic Department.
Speaker 1: You know, they happened to be in North Carolina. So
Speaker 1: at the same time, I was a big dude in
Speaker 1: Winston had a lot of attention playing football. Little five
Speaker 1: ft five race car driver at Winston said, hey, dude,
Speaker 1: you know he met me like I love Wake Forest football.
Speaker 1: That's how it started because he said, when you go
Speaker 1: to the race track with me, and I said, why
Speaker 1: just come with me. I didn't know what he was
Speaker 1: talking about little Bobby canals and went to seilanm. He
Speaker 1: brought me to the race track because he was racing
Speaker 1: that night and he was planning to wreck two or
Speaker 1: three guys and he needed me to walk behind him
Speaker 1: when he goes to the hallers or when they come
Speaker 1: to him. So when he wrecked them and they came
Speaker 1: at him, whooped the whoop, and I'm standing like this,
Speaker 1: they changed their mind. Then that turned into have you
Speaker 1: ever thought about doing pit crews? Heard you? If not
Speaker 1: the one of the best in the pits. That's relatively
Speaker 1: speaking for my time. Look what I was competing against
Speaker 1: when I came in. I was four years old to
Speaker 1: fifty uh thirty seven inch VERD prime conditions. So I'm
Speaker 1: competing against guys who were MCCA next their whole life,
Speaker 1: worked on cars, smoked cigarettes, never worked out, drink all day.
Speaker 1: But they were awesome to what they did within their competition.
Speaker 1: So yes, I did have an advantage competing against guys
Speaker 1: like that, But over time we changed the game to
Speaker 1: the point where the attention to detail that I felt
Speaker 1: like I could put on performance and that I demanded
Speaker 1: not only from myself but from my teammates because you
Speaker 1: had to teach them how to be a team. And
Speaker 1: then once you get on your first team that you
Speaker 1: have a chance to win. It changes the game because
Speaker 1: anybody can pit a car when it doesn't matter, but
Speaker 1: when everything's on the line, seconds are online in positions
Speaker 1: in racing, you're not only costing your team money in status,
Speaker 1: but at the end of the day, repeated mistakes are
Speaker 1: not tolerated in this sport. You're also an on air personality.
Speaker 1: Now for NASCAR, can you talk to us about your
Speaker 1: weekly show? Yes, I have a show feed on the ground.
Speaker 1: That's how it starts off. Started from going to the
Speaker 1: race with somebody. How you got your own that's crazy, man, Well, dude,
Speaker 1: this has to be seen. Long story short, How are
Speaker 1: we going to validate what we're preaching if you don't
Speaker 1: see That's how I felt. That's what I felt with football,
Speaker 1: and this is why the show came about because nobody
Speaker 1: would believe you until they saw it, until they came
Speaker 1: to the track. Everybody who did not know NASCAR once
Speaker 1: they came to the track was a fan instantaneously. Then
Speaker 1: once they saw the pitch stop. I knew they loved it.
Speaker 1: Rockal Man, we appreciate your time. Continue to inspire. You
Speaker 1: got two new fails over here. We'll definitely be back.
Speaker 1: He's ready. Yeah, we appreciate you man. We'll definitely catch
Speaker 1: up with you again. And the pit sweez me levin
Speaker 1: ready to start start your engines. You're about to hear
Speaker 1: that in the minute. Yeah, yeah yeah. And then women
Speaker 1: in sports. You've obviously been connected to NASCAR for a
Speaker 1: long time, but obviously they're starting to have to see
Speaker 1: more representation. What does that mean to someone like yourself? Well,
Speaker 1: it's great for me to see because when I started
Speaker 1: out there weren't any track presidents that were female, and
Speaker 1: so if you don't see females and high positions, it's
Speaker 1: started to imagine what's out there. So, um, it's great
Speaker 1: for me now that I'm at Sonoma, I can show
Speaker 1: other women that there's career mode. Don't just have to
Speaker 1: be a driver either. There's lots of other things. You think, well,
Speaker 1: now what is you? I mean, you have a lot
Speaker 1: of responsibility. Can you kind of briefly break that down
Speaker 1: what that is to our fans? Sure? So, um, it's
Speaker 1: basically anything that's happening on at the track on a
Speaker 1: given weekend. So you guys are seeing the whole scope here.
Speaker 1: I mean it's getting the fans, getting the property ready,
Speaker 1: getting the fans in and out of here, the drivers,
Speaker 1: make sure the competitors are in a good spot. But
Speaker 1: it's probably two halves of the same hole. It's operations,
Speaker 1: So how does everything move and and get people in
Speaker 1: and out of here safely? And then it's marketing and
Speaker 1: selling tickets and making sure that people want to come.
Speaker 1: So so how stressful is that on a race to
Speaker 1: race basis? Are you kind of like a pro and
Speaker 1: you it's it's more turn key now or is it
Speaker 1: just still you're pulling out your hair to the last second?
Speaker 1: Is all you around? I think you're kind of pulling
Speaker 1: out your hair to as I kind of mean, you
Speaker 1: don't let anybody see that, right, You gotta sure everything
Speaker 1: looks good. But yeah, I think you're a type a.
Speaker 1: If you're in this type of business, you want to
Speaker 1: be out here, so you're always looking for ways to improve.
Speaker 1: So I come to this race and I just kind
Speaker 1: of go around and say, oh, this looks good. We
Speaker 1: should do this at our track, Like somebody doing it
Speaker 1: better because it's all about ease of the fan. They
Speaker 1: can do anything they wanted, They can spend their time
Speaker 1: and money with us, so if they do that, we
Speaker 1: want to make sure it's seemed less and fun. I mean,
Speaker 1: we're not in the business of doing anything but giving
Speaker 1: people good time. So I hear that. I'm looking forward
Speaker 1: to that. Will do a pleasure to meet you. Best
Speaker 1: of luck and thank you for having us. Absolutely yes,
Speaker 1: Las Vegas take over all the smoke NASCAR money line.
Speaker 1: Thank you very much for having us. We had a
Speaker 1: great time. Man Bula Waaa, Kurt on Races an people
Speaker 1: that came last Man definitely be back. Stay Son
