Speaker 1: Missed opportunity. I love sharing conversations. Hosting them requires show prep.
My podcasting platforms feature thousands of guests. Now what you
don't have access to are my missed opportunities. The show
prep was one hundred percent completed, the conversation didn't take place.
I keep all of my notes because I believe that
our paths will one day cross again. Let me explain
missed opportunity. It's my questions and statements without their answers.
I'm leaving open enough space at the end of every question,
hoping they'll download the talk and insert their answers. Missed
opportunity is a lost piece of history, Like a message
in a bottle, it's been tossed out to see now
it's time to locate a destination. This week, we're putting
focus on my missed opportunity with NASCAR driver and champion
Parker klingermine cw I just announced its broadcast team for
the twenty twenty five NASCAR Expinity Series season. It included
veteran broadcaster Adam Alexander as lead play by play announcer,
joined by Daytona five one hundred champion Jimmy McMurray and
NASCAR driver Parker Clareman. The new season was set to
begin on February fifteenth, twenty twenty five, at Daytona's International Speedway.
The broadcast would be made available absolutely free for fans
of racing. Parker Clearman has won three races, thirty nine
top five finishes and one hundred five top ten finishes.
He's also the co host of the money Lap podcast.
Exfinity puts his focus on the younger, up and coming
drivers now. The invitation to spend some time with Parker
Klerman arrived on February third, twenty twenty five. I filled
out the required paperwork, to which they replied in less
than twenty four hours. They said I would get eighteen
minutes with Parker on February fourteenth, starting at nine forty
two am. I replied, perfect, which is my typical signature answer.
It's my way of saying, hey, it's me. Eight days later,
on February eleventh, I received word that the tour had
been canceled. We will not be rescheduling. They told me,
please let us know that you receive this my misstupper
tunity with NASCAR driver and champion Parker Klingerman. Hey coming
up next my prepared questions and comments. Hey, welcome back
to Missed Opportunity. This week my Missed Opportunity with NASCAR
driver and champion Parker Clingerman. Here are the questions and comments.
The broadcast team has been created. The number one goal
bring fans to Exfinity. NASCAR has created a season on
the CW. What is it like to be at ground
zero creating with Adam and Jamie? How do you create
vocal harmony and not walk all over each other? How
do you handle change? I mean, come on, you know
crew chiefs. Crew chiefs are always trying to reinvent the wheel?
What about you in that booth? For most drivers to
be a success story, do they really have to go
into the dirt track racing business. Being at Charlotte Motor Speedway,
Exfinity was that one thing we did every Saturday, and
we made sure our butts were in those seats. All
thirty three races are available free on the CW. This
is huge Exfinity at Daytona. I love the way that
the CW is giving you guys a lot of love
as well as attention. I'm only a few miles from
Race City, USA, you know, Mooresville, North Carolina. I mean,
we've got racing in our soul in this part of
the country. You know the sport, You've lived it, and
you love it. Exfinity has gained in popularity. Is it
the college leagues of NASCAR? So is it too early
to ask? Is there a leader that you can predict?
Or is this something that you know? It is unwritten.
You don't know what's going to happen on that track.
You hope to God that you stay safe. Now here's
one of the things that's happened in NASCAR racing. Can
the fans of this tune? You guys in inside the stands,
when did you know that it was time to put
focus on the booth telling the story as well as
experiences that you've gone through. Are there moments that you
look into the soul of a future driver and see
champions as well as great challengers? So many races are
going back to the lost tracks. Are you guys going
to be in Rockingham or North Wilkesboro this year? Will
Exfinity do dirt tracking just like NASCAR's done lately? In Tennessee?
How is racing evolving? I mean, you're on the inside, dude,
you're part of the Money Lap podcast. Let's talk about that.
I want to know what's going on, what you guys
are doing, and how do you build your performances on that.
The heartbeat is on high while watching Exfinity. The camera
angles are constantly changing and I swear to God, I
am so addicted to that. And there you have it,
another missed opportunity, a lost piece of history. You know
the questions now, so let's locate the reactions. The door
is always going to be open. If you are or
no Parker Klingerman, please reach out to me er O

brilliant
