Transcript excerpt

Well everyone was asking what was gonna happen with chassis five seventy eight from San Diego this year and Best fighting to hold on to second. Oh. Big flash. Best a little bit here. Gets the inside wall. Oh, he does. Yes. It has officially made it to its final resting place here in Dale Junior's race car graveyard. It's sad to see the red white and poo dude wipe Chevy out tier, but nature's gonna make her her own here over the next few years and she'll be a part of history. There's a lot of other cars here and it's kinda cool to see it preserved and have meaning even though it's a total loss which no race team ever wants to see. This piece is definitely unique and has a cool story because it's from the naval base Coronado where we had the first ever race on an active military base.
