MUSIC Hey everyone, welcome to the Big Machine Vodka Spite Coolers T-A2 Series Round 8 of the Trans-MT-A2 Championship from Nashville, Tennessee, music city, Scott Borscherta, the man behind the vision of this event. And as you can see, we're in a rather special place here in Nashville right by the track. It's just across the river, but Scott, we're in the Borscherta Distillery, the Big Machine Distillery for a big announcement. What's happening? Yeah, absolutely. So we're here at Big Machine on 3rd, Big Machine Distillery, 3rd Avenue, heart of Nashville, and so proud that we have our 3rd Big Machine Music City Ground free happening this weekend. And because of my injury, I'm going to join you in the booth this week. And also, I know we use an Andready often in the booth. I have an upgrade. Okay. I have the goat. The goat. I have the greatest one. I have the Andready, Mario Andre. I'm Mario, they're honoring you this year with a Borscherta Bourbon. A great honor. A great honor indeed. Yes, it's quite the tribute, obviously. I know I'm in good shape for a while now. What I love is the Andready's, whoever they are, are all still racing. You're doing two sees, I know. Marcos out there, Michael's running teams, Adams in our Championship. Do you ever watch the Trans-MT-A2 Championship in Adam? Of course. Yes, I do. And actually, it's not just the driving, I think it's quite good at announcing, actually. With the GZ? Yeah, it is. It's actually done some of you, right? Yes, it's right. So you can see that I'm watching it. Well, I know all the race fans here in Nashville that delighted for you to be here. And I know that Scott's absolutely particular people. Scott, let's turn to the racing. This track, you never knew coming in, what it was going to be like. But it's turned out to be superb. And the upgrades around the track have certainly helped as well. You were on the podium here last year. How do you see the race this year? Obviously, the man to be his great cruise. He is flying at the moment and he's already won. A street circuit in Detroit. And last year. Well, that's what I love about street circuits. You know, it's who are those guys that can bring a lot of speed, but also are super meticulous. Breaking is everything. Breaking and rolling speed here. And we had a great race last year. And to put it all together, you got to stay out the walls. There's a lot of very narrow places at this track. There are a couple of places literally where you can't get two cars. Control the aggression. Control the aggression. There it is. I'm trying to say all this stuff. He doesn't have to be where it's ladies and gentlemen. But it was funny last year. I was talking to a couple of the drivers. This was the first year, 2021. And they're complaining. Mario walks up and he goes, stop complaining. The track's perfect. Go race. Yeah, me. It's there for everyone. And actually, actually from my standpoint, you know, we talk about the bumps and all of this sort of thing. I think psychologically, I feel that that can be, if you can actually conquer that aspect of it, you feel you have an advantage. And psychologically, I think that gives you something to go for. And anybody can drive a very smooth area. Anyone can do that. So, embrace the challenges. Drive like Andruddy is what they say. Great to have Mario here. A fantastic honour from Scott Borshetter. He's joining me in the booth. But let's take a short break and when we come back, we're going big in Nashville. Join us after the break.
