1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 1: Missed opportunity. I love sharing conversations. Hosting them requires show prep.

2
00:00:05,799 --> 00:00:08,839
My podcasting platforms feature thousands of guests. Now what you

3
00:00:08,919 --> 00:00:12,160
don't have access to are my missed opportunities. The show

4
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:16,320
prep was one hundred percent completed, the conversation didn't take place.

5
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:18,920
I keep all of my notes because I believe that

6
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:22,000
our paths will one day cross again. Let me explain

7
00:00:22,039 --> 00:00:26,320
missed opportunity. It's my questions and statements without their answers.

8
00:00:26,879 --> 00:00:29,640
I'm leaving open enough space at the end of every question,

9
00:00:29,719 --> 00:00:33,119
hoping they'll download the talk and insert their answers. Missed

10
00:00:33,119 --> 00:00:36,159
opportunity is a lost piece of history, Like a message

11
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,399
in a bottle, it's been tossed out to see now

12
00:00:38,399 --> 00:00:41,920
it's time to locate a destination. This week, we're putting

13
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,240
focus on my missed opportunity with NASCAR driver and champion

14
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:50,439
Parker klingermine cw I just announced its broadcast team for

15
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:54,640
the twenty twenty five NASCAR Expinity Series season. It included

16
00:00:54,759 --> 00:00:58,520
veteran broadcaster Adam Alexander as lead play by play announcer,

17
00:00:58,759 --> 00:01:01,960
joined by Daytona five one hundred champion Jimmy McMurray and

18
00:01:02,119 --> 00:01:05,640
NASCAR driver Parker Clareman. The new season was set to

19
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:10,239
begin on February fifteenth, twenty twenty five, at Daytona's International Speedway.

20
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,680
The broadcast would be made available absolutely free for fans

21
00:01:13,719 --> 00:01:17,920
of racing. Parker Clearman has won three races, thirty nine

22
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,959
top five finishes and one hundred five top ten finishes.

23
00:01:21,439 --> 00:01:24,200
He's also the co host of the money Lap podcast.

24
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,000
Exfinity puts his focus on the younger, up and coming

25
00:01:28,079 --> 00:01:31,519
drivers now. The invitation to spend some time with Parker

26
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:35,079
Klerman arrived on February third, twenty twenty five. I filled

27
00:01:35,079 --> 00:01:37,799
out the required paperwork, to which they replied in less

28
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,319
than twenty four hours. They said I would get eighteen

29
00:01:40,359 --> 00:01:43,599
minutes with Parker on February fourteenth, starting at nine forty

30
00:01:43,599 --> 00:01:47,719
two am. I replied, perfect, which is my typical signature answer.

31
00:01:47,799 --> 00:01:50,840
It's my way of saying, hey, it's me. Eight days later,

32
00:01:50,879 --> 00:01:53,640
on February eleventh, I received word that the tour had

33
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,519
been canceled. We will not be rescheduling. They told me,

34
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,920
please let us know that you receive this my misstupper

35
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:04,799
tunity with NASCAR driver and champion Parker Klingerman. Hey coming

36
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:11,520
up next my prepared questions and comments. Hey, welcome back

37
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,759
to Missed Opportunity. This week my Missed Opportunity with NASCAR

38
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:19,639
driver and champion Parker Clingerman. Here are the questions and comments.

39
00:02:20,039 --> 00:02:23,159
The broadcast team has been created. The number one goal

40
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:28,199
bring fans to Exfinity. NASCAR has created a season on

41
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,800
the CW. What is it like to be at ground

42
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,960
zero creating with Adam and Jamie? How do you create

43
00:02:35,039 --> 00:02:38,759
vocal harmony and not walk all over each other? How

44
00:02:38,759 --> 00:02:41,159
do you handle change? I mean, come on, you know

45
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,280
crew chiefs. Crew chiefs are always trying to reinvent the wheel?

46
00:02:44,479 --> 00:02:47,759
What about you in that booth? For most drivers to

47
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,960
be a success story, do they really have to go

48
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,560
into the dirt track racing business. Being at Charlotte Motor Speedway,

49
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,439
Exfinity was that one thing we did every Saturday, and

50
00:02:57,479 --> 00:03:00,840
we made sure our butts were in those seats. All

51
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,840
thirty three races are available free on the CW. This

52
00:03:04,159 --> 00:03:10,120
is huge Exfinity at Daytona. I love the way that

53
00:03:10,159 --> 00:03:12,919
the CW is giving you guys a lot of love

54
00:03:13,039 --> 00:03:17,159
as well as attention. I'm only a few miles from

55
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,039
Race City, USA, you know, Mooresville, North Carolina. I mean,

56
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,240
we've got racing in our soul in this part of

57
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,199
the country. You know the sport, You've lived it, and

58
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:31,280
you love it. Exfinity has gained in popularity. Is it

59
00:03:31,319 --> 00:03:35,879
the college leagues of NASCAR? So is it too early

60
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,400
to ask? Is there a leader that you can predict?

61
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,719
Or is this something that you know? It is unwritten.

62
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,599
You don't know what's going to happen on that track.

63
00:03:42,719 --> 00:03:46,319
You hope to God that you stay safe. Now here's

64
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,879
one of the things that's happened in NASCAR racing. Can

65
00:03:48,919 --> 00:03:52,919
the fans of this tune? You guys in inside the stands,

66
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:56,560
when did you know that it was time to put

67
00:03:56,639 --> 00:03:59,240
focus on the booth telling the story as well as

68
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,840
experiences that you've gone through. Are there moments that you

69
00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:04,919
look into the soul of a future driver and see

70
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:10,400
champions as well as great challengers? So many races are

71
00:04:10,439 --> 00:04:13,240
going back to the lost tracks. Are you guys going

72
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:17,279
to be in Rockingham or North Wilkesboro this year? Will

73
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,600
Exfinity do dirt tracking just like NASCAR's done lately? In Tennessee?

74
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:28,199
How is racing evolving? I mean, you're on the inside, dude,

75
00:04:28,319 --> 00:04:31,120
you're part of the Money Lap podcast. Let's talk about that.

76
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:32,800
I want to know what's going on, what you guys

77
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,399
are doing, and how do you build your performances on that.

78
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,839
The heartbeat is on high while watching Exfinity. The camera

79
00:04:41,879 --> 00:04:44,879
angles are constantly changing and I swear to God, I

80
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,720
am so addicted to that. And there you have it,

81
00:04:49,079 --> 00:04:52,279
another missed opportunity, a lost piece of history. You know

82
00:04:52,319 --> 00:04:55,240
the questions now, so let's locate the reactions. The door

83
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,959
is always going to be open. If you are or
