All right Ford fans, Bowyer here.
We're going to have a little fun today and talk a little
playoff action playoffs, baby.
It's playoff time!
We're going to do that with one and only Ryan Blaney.
So he's going to be in his car.
I'm going to be in this hot rod right here, and we're
going to have this interview
via sync.
I couldn't tell if this thing's running or not Blaney, I can
tell yours is running over there.
Sounds like a freight train.
I think you need to get one of them.
Mach-Es, you look good driving it.
It's got a little snap to it.
See that?
Huh?
Scratch the tires a little bit.
It's a Mustang has to do that.
I'll tell you what first thing's first.
What in the hell are you driving?
Do you realize you represent Roger Penske, the cleanest human
being I've ever seen in my life?
You realize that right?
You know, it's been a while since I've been to a car wash and haven't
been able to kind of clean it up.
You know, probably a little bad look, I got a big old crack in the
windshield and a truck's really dirty, but you know, Hey, it's got character.
Uh, that means you use it.
That is my favorite truck.
That is my go-to truck.
There's nothing better than an F250 Super Duty diesel engine.
It's tell me about it, huh?
Uh, yeah, I saw you got, you got a little higher model than me.
You got the king ranch.
I saw so well, I did it longer than you, but.
You do it another 10, 15 years, and then you can, you
can get yourself a king ranch.
Tell you what! How about that
win in Michigan, huh?
Yeah, that was special.
Um, you know, sitting here talking about Ford and everything, it's, you know, it's
huge, you know, you've been able to win up there in Michigan for Ford, and it's
just a huge deal to keep that train alive.
I think that's seven wins in a row for Ford up in Michigan.
Huge it's right there in the backyard.
That's bragging rights for everybody.
They're all the manufacturers there.
I saw Edsel was there, is there no cooler feeling than putting Edsel
Ford by the way in victory lane?
Yeah.
And Edsel was there, his sons were with him, everybody from Ford was there.
So that's just a, I mean, you know, a special moment and keep that heritage
trophy in the, in the blue oval family.
That's the, that's the cool part too.
You can't let anybody else have that one.
So you see this right here.
You see that sign right there and you left says carwash, see that
that's how you get that filthy, dirty truck of yours clean again.
So we can see through the windshield weird combination of letters.
I haven't really seen before in that order.
So it's crazy.
Literally, ladies and gentlemen, I'm buying him a car.
This is ridiculous.
Oh my God.
Clint Bowyer.
Everybody is just freaking it's unbelievable.
Look at him.
He's just, he needs to borrow my credit card because he says
it's not his ain't working.
This is what he does.
He's like, I'm gonna buy you a carwash.
Hey, come here, try this thing.
Which one did you get me?
Did you get me the deluxe?
Did you get me?
Got you.
The loaded, the deluxe package.
Ceramic coating.
Wow.
I think it's like, it comes with a year clean window.
That's what I was about to say.
It's going to last me a whole year.
Cause it should get better and better, man.
This is the nicest carwash I might've have ever been in. It's incredible.
(laughter)
It's kind of trippy in here actually.
You sound like you're in a wind tunnel.
The hell's going on.
I'm about to get out of here.
You're about to see the cleanest truck that has ever been in a Blaney garage.
Hey man, it's playoff time.
Let's talk a little playoffs.
What do you think?
What's your chances?
Can it be the year?
Oh, yeah.
Look at this thing.
Ah, man, I think it's, it's, it's going to be a really good shot at it.
How bout it? Clean?
Yeah.
Look way better.
That is the best $25 I've ever spent.
Good, good.
Uh, you know, I think we got a good shot.
Um, you know, it's just all about kind of executing, you know,
and, and just not having any big problems.
And obviously winning races is the biggest thing and in transferring to move it on.
But, uh, I think we got a good shot, just all about getting fast cars and, and
doing all our jobs to the best we can.
And it'd be nice to get Todd, you know, in his final run as a, you
know, a crew chief, uh, you know, a shot at the championship, you know,
you'd just hope to make it to the final four and have a shot at it.
And hopefully we can do that and try to get him some more
wins before he hangs it up.
We all know what the most important round is.
But what do you think the best round is for you?
Best opportunity to punch your ticket into victory lane and, and, you know,
separate yourself, um, you know, include yourself into that championship battle.
And, and that conversation? You know, Martinsville i think run really good there.
We've run second there two or three times and keep having
problems on pit road and kind of taken us out of the contention.
So I want a grandfather clock, like you got! They're old school,
you're an old school guy like me.
And I know you appreciate that.
They're so old school.
Let me tell you something about the
Grandfather clock.
Everybody wants one right?
They're so cool.
We're so excited to have one.
My God, that thing will drive you nuts.
Nothing makes you more proud and nothing will drive you more nuts.
And that thing going off at midnight, by the way, and all hours of
the day, your dog will go crazy.
Your wife will go crazy, which you don't have that yet, but you will someday.
Um, the grandfather clocks fun.
But let me tell you a little fun goes a long ways.
So you have a set up in your house to where you can hear it.
Dude you got to have that reminder.
You can't win Martinsville and not be reminded every hour on the hour.
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah. I did.
I did that.
I probably would to, I would to, well, Ryan, I believe in you.
I believe that you can get it done.
Good luck to you have fun with it by all means.
Bring a championship back home to Ford.
Alright, thanks Clint.
