Very little in the world would keep me from broadcasting the Championship race from Phoenix. Well…. Apparently an emergency appendectomy has done the trick. Thank you to Saint Joseph’s hospital and everyone who helped me out.

- As I go to bed tonight I am thankful.... So very thankful that my buddy @DaleJr his wonderful bride @AmyEarnhardt and their sweet little Isla are safe. Our days here are not guaranteed. They should be cherished. I am blessed to have great family and friends and I love them all.
- I asked my daughter. Is it Thursday? Her response: “Dad we are living that stay at home life. There are only 3 day weeks. Today, tomorrow and yesterday.” Makes sense to me. 🤷🏼♂️
- Days of Thunder Update #1... 1) I have talked to a race car like that. I do think it helps. 2) Matched tires are really better. And magic sets do exist, but u don’t know when you’ll get them 3) Racing back to the yellow was even a poor idea in the movies. Solid rule change
- 5 wins, 142 starts, 74 Top 10’s What a fun ride we had. Thank you @DaleJr and congratulations on your next chapter, it’s going to be awesome!!!
- Congratulations to my buddy @dalejr on being voted into the @NASCARHall. A fierce competitor, a great teammate and now a TV analyst, you always deliver. It’s going to be exciting to watch you celebrate with your family the honor of having your name enshrined in the #NASCARHOF.
- Thinking and praying for Newman....
- Not in NASCAR pal... aluminum heads. Steel blocks. But thanks for doing your research 🙄#CouchExpert
- Proud 2 say I worked w @DaleJr he is great driver & even better person. Thx 4 being a friend. Congrats on a great career behind the wheel.
- Days of Thunder update #2 1) I thought it was sugar... It was sweet and low... & drafting has never been clearer 2) I think I had those Daytona rental cars a few years ago 🚗 💥 3) The Daytona 500 is awesome in real life and the movies.. Full movie review Monday on the DJD.
- Whether you like Harvick or not... watching him support his team this week while under scrutiny and then digging his heels in and pushing to find victory lane... that was impressive. Congrats @KevinHarvick & @RodneyChilders4 Bravo
- So happy for @HBurtonRacing … Being a part of the call and watching @JeffBurton ‘s fatherly excitement was a moment I’ll never forget.
- Just saw a video of @StenhouseJr signing for fans waiting in security line. That’s the #DAYTONA500 pole sitter. Absolute awesome move... Great example of @Nascar 👍🏼👍🏼
