This is what NASCAR was really about 30 years ago. I think I missed him. Highly likely my Shelby will be going to the body shop after this race. And we have a camera in there. So, let him have it. We want to stick a camera in your car. Go for it. You can get get some action for us. Yeah. Wherever you want. Yeah, shade's much better. So, this and Matt, what are you doing here? What's up, guys? I'm Matt Tiff. So, today we're racing in the NASCAR Classic class, which is essentially NASCAR from I don't know, 1970 all the way up until now. It's a really cool deal, especially for myself being in NASCAR before. Um, so this is a 2020, I believe, a Toyota Camry. Is that right, Adrian? This is 2020. Yeah. So, um, this still has, uh, about 900 horsepower in it. So, I ran these cars in 2019. We did not have that much horsepower. So, it's a lot more fun to hop in these. What is all this in here? Left side camera up top. You know how it is these things. It's hard to see. So, [Music] you have more you have more cameras on this car than I do, and I do this for a living. What the heck is that? This is wild, man. $200 Amazon cameras. Like I said, everybody that's seen it has loved it. Weren't you driving the uh the Kurt Bush was that old Kurt Bush car with the Charger. So, the car that I have is the um it's the old Kurt Bush car uh 2006 Bush car that he won the Glenn with. And um unfortunately on Thursday, we blew the motor on lap four after a fresh rebuild. So, that was quite painful. I love hopping around between the older cars, the newer cars. They all drive so different. But, um Is it still in there? It is still up in there. Yeah. If you want to go take a You can go up on that ladder there. Um, so it's wrapped in my plaster sponsor stuff, but still the same car. Is all the Kurt Bush stuff still underneath this? Yep. It's still underneath this wrap. Yeah, it's still all under there. How do these Gen 4 cars feel compared to the the newer ones like you're in now? Yeah. So, the biggest difference is, you know, obviously this is an '06 and that's a 2020. So, like going through the S's and stuff, the biggest thing is these cars flex a Uh, so if you look at video from last year, um, or some of ours from this year, the biggest thing is you'll see them pick up and kind of hike the left front and right front as we go around, the newer cars are more rigid. Um, they got a bit more side force, but these kind of feel like animals to drive. That's easier to drive in my opinion. Um,…
