Summary

Podcast at a race track! We are sitting up above the incredible temporary NASCAR track inside the LA Coliseum. 11 months out of the year this is a grass-covered football field but right now it is a tarmac short track with concrete walls, catch fences, and even rumble strips. We talk about NASCAR's move to attract new audiences; why this short track shouldn't be dismissed; why it's a great live sporting event; and Matt's introduction to Cypress Hill. Then we do a deep dive on the 911 Dakar; why it's great but most people shouldn't buy it; how country club tracks solve a problem but can create a new one; the best sporty car for arthritis; the best sound-deprivation chamber for $15k; the "end of police stops"; and more. Recorded February 1, 2023 Get your tickets at https://www.nascarclash.com or if you can’t make it to the race, be sure to tune in to the Busch Light Clash at the Coliseum on Sunday, February 5th at 8:00 PM Eastern on FOX!

0:00.0	If you really, if you spent half your year in deep snow in in Canada or Finland or whatever,
0:07.6	yeah, sure, you know, it will be really good at that stuff.
0:11.4	But if you live in the New York Tri-State area and you want to drive a 9-11 year round
0:17.2	and it snows four or five times a year and, and, you know, you're only driving on a truly
0:24.1	snow-covered road for that one day until they plow it and then it's just cold and wet.
0:30.4	Just get the regular one and put snow tires on it. Hey folks, welcome to the Smogantar podcast.
0:35.6	Oh, we have a new sponsor and it's NASCAR, the whole series. How about that? And guess what's coming up?
0:42.4	I am really excited for this because we went last year and it was awesome to the clash at the
0:49.4	Coliseum. That's right. NASCAR built a track inside the LA Coliseum. They put on a crazy show.
0:57.4	The race was really fun. It was so fun to watch in person. You could see the whole thing,
1:02.1	all the action from the stands. Plus they had, they had a half time because there's no pit entrance.
1:08.8	So they had to have a half time for the race to change all the tires on the cars, right? Because
1:13.2	there was no way for the cars to get to a pit during the race because it was, did I say, inside
1:18.4	of a football stadium. And so there was like a concert at half time. It was a really interesting
1:24.2	event and they're bringing it back this year. It was super successful. February 5th, they're
1:29.1	kicking off NASCAR's 75th anniversary season. I can't wait to see it again. They got us passes.
1:35.5	And guess what? Cypress Hill is performing. Last year was Pitbull and Ice Cube, which is cool.
1:44.9	I like Pitbull. I like Ice Cube. But I love Cypress Hill. And Cypress Hill is performing this year.
1:51.7	It is going to be awesome. They have a pre-race concert. And then the stars of the NASCAR Cup
1:57.3	series will battle it out inside the Coliseum. And then at half time, the actual pause for a
2:04.4	Wiz Khalifa concert. So you got Cypress Hill opening for NASCAR and then Wiz Khalifa at half time.
2:11.2	It's going to be awesome. It's unlike anything NASCAR has ever done. It's so cool to see those
