Outside, door, bumper, clear the 18. Ben's car ahead here in a long time. You're going to do it. You're going to win it. Right with you. You're clear. Check the flag. You're in.

Hey, everybody. I am T.J. Major's spot of the 22 cup car loan this weekend. Same. Brett Griffin, only spotted for Clint Boyer. Saw my buddy Mike Snyder run forth in the truck race in St. Louis. Survival. That race. And then I saw Elliot Saturday.

Adler coach baseball all weekend. So a good weekend for him and Casey, welcome back. This is your second week in a row. Yeah, wow. Well, technically, I could have done it last week, but y'all are off. A new streak. So. We didn't race.

We did it the week before. I was there the week before. A week before that? I don't think you are. I don't know. I'm really going to struggle this studio session because there's a dog in here. There is. This is like a weakness of my.

There's usually two dogs in here. Now there's three. I mean, Brett, you just had to bring your dog. I know. Jovey's with me, and we bring Lela almost everywhere that Jovey goes. And this is like the key, I can't talk because I can't speak. It looks like that Gremlin. It looks like Gremlin.

Yeah. Maybe with a little more hair. We'll post a picture. Have you seen the movie Grimline yet, Jovey? It's like an albino and albino gizmo. like one? Yeah, her face. Maybe you should rename her Gremlin.

You know how to get more Laylis? Feed it meat after midnight. She'll multiply. Yeah, that's what the Gremlin's did. Yeah. Yeah, she's like an albino Gremlin. Yeah. She's so cute.

Okay, sorry. That's all right. Father's Day, man. Do you have a good Father's Day? When I got to think back. I was two weeks ago. Yeah. I know.

Yeah. We went to Charleston. I saw that. Yeah. You went to Murgle, right? I think everybody went to Charleston. I saw a bunch of people. Doug, Eddie.

Yeah, there was a bunch of people down there. Rodney Childers. Bowman was down there somewhere. Oh, cool. There was a whole bunch of people down there. So I think Caitlin was there too, wasn't she? Probably. I think so.

Oh, yeah, she was, actually. My kids had a dance recital Friday and Saturday, and on Saturday, all three of them danced. Bodie did the worm and the hip-hop routine and did some stuff in gymnastics, so, and my girls are big dancers. So as soon as they were done, and we got done with a lunch that... Can she do the worm? Can you do the worm?

Yeah, you can do the worm? What? Are you serious? So you dance too, right? Yeah. So if we move this table, you could worm right here? Well, there ain't really enough room right here. I feel like she's not that big.

There's got to be a lot of room because you do like this, you know. Well, we're done. Yeah. All right, we're going to. She can do a lot more things other than the worm that are impressive. Madeline had her dance recital on Pigeon Forge Friday morning. Yeah. So maybe we'll be doing one of your side aerial.

She does a front aerial. That breaks my back to watch it. That's impressive. Yeah, so anyway, we did the dance recital thing. As soon as it was over, we went to Myrtle Beach and had a fun few days. I went to Nashville just to listen to some music, see my buddy Kevin, me and Freddie Craft went. Freddie stayed all week. I don't know how he does that.

I saw him at the airport, TJ, and he was like, I'm never going back there ever again. Guy looked like he was dead. That's the funny thing is I saw you at the airport on my way off the plane. Yeah, and I was leaving. So you had your party? We'll party. No. No, she's in September.

Oh, okay. It's a... I still think we should send a camera. I think we should send us. I think we should send Jason. I think we should send a me. Or us. You just said you wouldn't go back.

I would go back. Well, we'll be working. We'll be working. I've had two weeks to change my mind. Okay. Yeah, so I have a bone to pick with this one because now they plan... Did you hear that they're planning a USAC midget race at the Breakyard?

Yeah, I heard that. They're building a racetrack in turn three or whatever. Yeah, they started building it, is really cool, but they had to do it on my bachelor's party weekend. What the heck is that got to do with anything? Because I get nervous when Chad's racing. You don't race the midget. But I get nervous.

You should. You should. It's a tiny little midget track. Everything's going to be okay. You're okay. He don't get it. Nothing. It's all right.

It's your party. You should go. I'm going to go party. Don't you worry. Yeah. I'm hoping they make it like earlier in the week. You know how to get rid of all them nerves? Drink more.

Hey, have you been to Big Al's right here? And Mooresville? Mm-hmm. No. Okay. So, do you like to eat nerds the candy? Yes. Okay.

I haven't eaten them in years. So they have a nerd shot that you have to go try. Maybe one day when we're done here, we'll go by the... Does it actually have nerds in it? Yeah. It's phenomenal. That's interesting. And I think it's like a really cheap...

It's probably the cheapest product. You know, like you wouldn't want to take more than one. Yeah. But anyway. You ever had one, Jason? A nerd? Shot. Shot.

Shot of nerds? Have you had a nerd? I wasn't really paying attention there. Wicked tail. Nerd shot. Nerd shot. Next time, big owls. Have you ever seen the movie?

Do you eat chicken wings, Casey? Nerds. Revenge of the nerds? Do you eat chicken wings? Yes, I do. Some girls are weird about it. Why'd you think about it? You couldn't just say yes?

Because I was thinking of the movie, the revenge of the nerds. And then you said you eat chicken wings. I was like, weird. Some girls were weird about the ball and out of food. There's a dog. I'm sorry. Do I want the world to know that I? I eat chicken wings.

Ah, I guess it's okay. Oh, I don't care about that. Like, Claudia will not eat any food that has a bone in it. Really? No. I will say that I don't like getting a... I don't know. Is it because it's like roast chicken?

It's not like... Most girls that I know... Most girls that I know won't eat a piece of meat with a bone in it. They really won't. Will you eat? No. No. See, girls are just...

Girls are just weird. But even like bone and filet. They'll eat a filet, but not a bone and filet. They'll eat chicken but not chicken wings. That does. Doesn't bother me. Okay, good. So we'll go eat chicken wings because I got good habanero chicken wings are hot.

Ooh. Do you like hot? I, no, actually. I do not like spicy at all. I have to have them like really mild. Oh, my gosh. Barbecue is good. Mm-hmm.

Barbecue. Yeah. Barbecue. You're in the sixth graders. I'll eat a buffalo wing like from like buffalo sauce. So you don't like spicy either? I'm not like a habanero spicy, but I'll eat like Frank's red. Frank's, uh.

That's not bad. Franks is really good. My opinion. Like, it's one of my favorite hot sauces. Yeah, so that's good. I don't know how we got on the subject, but. How do we get on half of the subjects? How is Sonoma?

I don't know. Hot. It was hot. Yeah. This race day was great. I'll tell you what I had a question for you, T.J. Because you're a big sim guy. Do you think we saw realistically zero wrecks yesterday?

Mm-hmm. I thought the same thing. We had no wrecks that brought out of caution. So my question to you is, did we see less wrecks? because these young guys, because here's the thing, Clint Boyer doesn't need to get on a simulator or an eye racing before he runs Sonoma. He's good there.

But are we seeing less wrecks because these young guys are spending a lot of time on eye racing and on simulators before they get out there? Do you think that's legitimate question? I think they are really, I think there was way more preparation for road courses than what there's ever been.

Ten years ago, all we did was sending a guy to the bond around school or Ronfellow's driving school, and that was all the road course. The week of the race they went. Yeah, or a week before, something like that. Like,

they go out there and run that, and that was it. You know, I did see a few guys get in trouble, and I noticed there, that, the K&N race on Saturday was stacked. It was full of young cup drivers. Yeah. Sores, Amarola, Byron.

I do think. Bowman was in that one, too, yeah. Yeah, I do think the Sim will teach you, they're more familiar with the track. They know where it's going to turn. They know what you can run an eye racing and figure out what corners you're going to be able to pass on or not. I mean, that's not that's not that hard to do.

I mean, if you get good on there and learn the track real well, you know what corners you're going to be able to attempt to do stuff at. I just saw them being really disciplined, and I saw them not making. I noticed the same thing. A lot of the mistakes. And look, restarts are restarts. Everybody's grabbing a clawing to get a spot.

But once the field gets settled in, you usually see guys get really aggressive. and the young guys especially. I didn't see them doing a lot of wheel hopping. Yeah, I just saw my very disciplined race. I was standing next to Kevin Hamlin, and I know Alex doesn't have a ton of road course experience, at least in good cars.

Right. So he caught us, and you run a lane lower into some of them passing zones until the guy is close enough to actually make the pass. You kind of protect the inside until the guy is good enough or close enough to make the pass. well Alex I expected him to kind of get there and go for it a little earlier than what you really should you know like you get it you'll get a bumper in there but you're not going to make the pass and that does nothing but so you both way down even more he was very disciplined um he waited until he got within about a car length two car lengths off the corner and if you're

too if you're that close off the corner you're going to be able to be there and the guy knows it and if he tries to block that you're both going to be in trouble and he knows it at that point so yeah and i told Kevin i said man Alex had a really really good job right there of being very disciplined. And I honestly, I didn't expect him to, I expected some of these young guys to be a lot less discipline. We have to credit their maturity to something, though, because it's not experience. And typically inexperience at a place like Sonoma leads to mistakes, leads to wrecks.

We didn't see that yesterday. And I was flying home last night. And I was like, man, TJ's a big gamer, big eye racer. I got to ask him if that he thinks maybe that's why. I think they're just more familiar and more prepared than they've ever been. And they just have the Sim world gives you so much more access to racetracks, even though it's a virtual racetrack, you just get so much more access to it. I'm not saying it makes them better at, you know, certain things.

It can speed up the learning curve. But I think it, something has happened to where, you know, I remember seeing, you know, Dale Jr. and Elliott Sadler and Matt Kenseth and all those guys go out there who went on to win cut races at Oval's. And, you know, you got to watch them at Martinsville their first time and you laughed at them. And you got to watch them at Sonoma and Watkins. been there first time when you laughed at them. And then by year two and three and four, it was like, man, these guys have figured it out.

Well, now these guys are figuring it out. Really quick. Really quick. So my question is realistically how. Because there's a reason for their maturity. Someone like Byron to go out there and qualify like he did was pretty impressive. They did it. They did the road school, didn't they?

Like right before with Tommy Jim Morris. Yeah. But still, they're not supposed to be as good as not that they were great. I thought Bowman did a phenomenal job. I thought it did it do. You're waiting on one of them to spin out and knock a tire back. None of them did. And they just never did.

Yeah. You know. Yeah. No, I definitely think there's more access. Well, Sonoma was good, man. I went to a little place called Ernie's Tin Bar at the suggestion of Billio who spots for Ty Dillon. That's his favorite place all year. That's his favorite place all year.

That's all we talked about all year. Let me tell you something. It was 98 degrees and they do not have air conditioning. So you went to a bar rather than a winery? I feel like you might have been like the only person that did that. TJ wouldn't go with me. So. You got to go as a couple.

You can't go to wineries by yourself. You like a winery. What's wrong with that? Have you been to a winery by yourself? I mean, I would go. So that's a no. I just need... Well, I'm usually with people.

Yeah. But I would go by myself. I love winery. You would just roll into a winery by yourself and be like, give me a flight of wine. Yeah, you can make friends there. You can? Oh, yeah. They're all drinking wine.

Yeah. The people that work there are usually really friendly. Amen. Amen. Good play. That may have been your best play all year. I don't know why I said it either. What flavor do you think it was?

Great. It was red. So we know that. It must have been a cab. It had to be a cab. All right. So we head into spot on, spot off. Yes.

I've got things to do. We know. The 78 team fakes pit call wins third race of the year. Spot on, spot off. Man, spot off for the two teams, including mine that got dup by it, you know. You spot off that? So, T.J. will tell you, we don't know all of these things are going on on the radio anymore because we're not allowed, even though some spotters apparently have found ways to listen to other teams. We're not supposed to listen to other teams while the race is going on. We're only supposed to be on our primary channel or our backup channel. So T.J. and I have no idea this has even happened until after the race is over and we get on Twitter, or at least I didn't. So I went back and looked at what happened and saw the play call and Cole. said pit this time and then he called it off and Rodney didn't fall for it and he did it again

and the guys jumped up on pit wall. Rodney fell for it, changed his strategy. He's got the lead. He's in command. He cost his team the win because no other cautions came out to change it. We follow the four down, which means no matter what, we're probably going to finish behind the four because if you pit behind the guy, you're probably going to run behind the guy. The three cars that were classed the field was the 78, the 4, and the 14. And Cole Pern's call, obviously with Martin's execution, his Spiter did a great job, pit crew did a good job. But Cole Pern's call, just like Bugger's call at Michigan two weeks ago,

when we won the race, it set his guy up to win, and he deserves. He's the Matt Borland right now in terms of being able to do that kind of thing. Was he behind the four when he did this? He was. So when he makes the pit call, the four guy, Audibles, makes the pit call. And then 78 goes, stay out. So what did he do exactly? We were all running pretty close.

And what was the initial? When were you pitting? We were. Middle or halfway? Right. So the question was, do you split the last stage? Or do you pit twice in it? So when he said pit, Rodney fell for it.

My guy fell for it. What lap was that around? That was around 20 laps into that run. Oh, that's a long way to go still. Oh, yeah. We're talking. Yeah, a long ways to go. So we both hit pit road.

Well, then Martin goes out and runs another 10, 12 laps, whatever it was, he and Kurt Bush did. So then when they come off pit road, they're on a lot fresher tires and are making a lot of ground. Then Martin goes and takes the lead. Their average, that run should be a lot faster. And then we have to pit again. We don't have to pit again, but we do pit again,

trying to make time up and hoping for a caution. You got fresher tires. Yeah. Still ran, you know, one, two, and three. But our one, two, and three was going to be a lot closer. And Harvick probably was going to win the race. I noticed guys that stayed out longer. Came on, you know, if you split that stage or pitted later in it,

you were better off. Yeah. So hindsight, man, like you're sitting there. And for us, I was like, man, we were a little bit better than the 78 on the long run. So if we had stayed out, we probably could have pushed him and had a chance. But by us pitting with a four, you know, our bed was kind of made. I got a spot on it just for being that aware. And it's not easy to, it's not easy to fake somebody like Rodney out.

No, it's not easy to fake anybody. No, not like we have head pump. And honestly, if you're leading the race, control. rolling it, you shouldn't pit till someone else forces you to pit. I mean, why? Why would you? Well, I think that Rodney thought this guy's going to pit. He's going to come out and be two seconds a lap faster, and it's going to put me in a pickle. But you've got two second lead on him anyway. I realize that, but I'm just telling you, I paid, Rodney said after the race, I screwed up, I changed my plan, and then he actually went to victory lane to tell him,

hey, good job, you beat me. Yeah, that's, I mean, it did. That's cool. Yeah, I mean, Rodney's a racer. Spot on for the 78's conference. spot off for what it costs SHR because boy you should have stayed out dog my man was your channel two and channel one kind of sketchy yesterday oh they were staticy I could barely hear the second spot or all sorts of stuff same man it's a little bit of a pain makes a little bit of challenge more antennas up on that hill with us every year there's more more antennas right there and they have to put them where we're standing so yeah anyway so we got we got the crew chief typically wants to speak to the driver directly he can't

there because when he keys up, the driver is in turn seven way up the hill. There's buildings between them. A lot of interference. The driver can't hear them. So they have to relay a lot of it through us on Channel 2. Well, we can't hear Channel 2 worth of crap. So it was a communication nightmare for parts of the race, not the whole race. But of course it happens at times when it's important because we're all up there talking. It makes the interference a lot more likely. And communication is keyed our job. If we can't communicate, we're worthless. And there were times when it was a challenge to say the least. It was. I thought that was interesting when you, I mean, for a road course, too, being a spotter,

I can't imagine if you guys are on like the opposite end, that must be a lot more. Luckily, we're kind of in the middle there, but I mean, it's still challenging. It's fun. I enjoy it, to be honest with you. I think Sonoma is a really cool, you know, very slow. I enjoy that road course. Very technical with the, you know, exception of the bottom of the essence. I like the elevation.

Elevation. Yeah. A couple, there's more than, there's three or four passing zones. I don't know, there's different rhythm sections. You got the S's. You got the real, you got the hairpin, you got guys that are better up the hill. Yeah. Real good road course.

Yeah, it's awesome. All right. Props to neat Ryan on this one. Six winners in 16 races, which is. You skipped one. Yeah. Stages at roadcourses. Casey. Stages at road course.

There's a dog in here, guys. You only had one week off. I'm going, uh, stage. at road courses. TJ. I've got to go spot on because we needed something to break that up

because I'm not sure I'm not sure there was going to be many yellows if we didn't have them stages. Spot off 1,000 percent. I'm not against the stages. I'm against stopping the race

because we already back everything up into windows. If you notice yesterday, all of the leaders, all of the contenders at these stages, they all pitted with two to go in the stage to set them stuff up. For the next stage,

because they said, screw the points, we want a chance to win the race, and they did that because they knew when the yellow was going to fall. He still have stages at plate races and restricted plate tracks, but don't stop the race. Give the points, give all the stuff that goes on at lap 25. Do it anyway, but let us keep going because these crew chiefs are too dang smart. We only had one caution yesterday that wasn't a stage, and it was when AJ missed his shift and blew his car up. So the reality is people knew too much. We planned too much about what was going to happen, and that's exactly what happened.

I like the stages. I do too, but don't stop. It still cycled the field, though, a little bit. You still had some guys that run a little bit older tires. We actually were on the other end of it. We gained a few spots, then we had to play defense. It's done the same thing. We're going to see the same thing in two weeks when we get back to Daytona.

The Ford's are going to pit on a certain lap. The Toyotas are going to pit on a certain lap. It's going to break up the pack. It's going to take it 12, 15 laps to get back together, all because we know exactly when the yellow is going to fly. Now you can say your course. Okay, thank you. Next.

Nate Ryan tweeted this one, six winners in 16 races, which is the fewest for Cup in 40 years. Spot on, spot off. I didn't see this coming, to be honest with you. Because last year, last year so many people were winning races that guys in the points,

like we were 10th in points and didn't make the playoff because so many guys behind us in the points won races. TJ is sitting there right now, in points. And there's not enough guys that can win to kick him out. I got to win. And he's already got a win anyway.

But last year, like you were fifth, sixth, seventh, and points you were going, oh, man, what am I going to do? Like that could put ten, like Brad Caslowski, he doesn't have a win. You know, he's high enough in points to where security-wise, he's really secure. Last year, if he, you know, has a couple three bad races, loses some points, ends up eighth or ninth. He's on the verge of not making it now because there's only been four or five winners. It sets these guys up.

I think it just speaks to who the good teams are right now. And it's very obvious who they are, and they're the ones winning all the races. Yeah, I mean, I think it's, you know, congrats to those guys that are winning the races. But definitely didn't see this many guys, you know, the lack of guys winning races this year. No, I mean, Harvick, Truex, or Clint Boyer is going to win that race yesterday, and all of them already have multiple wins. single wins, multiple wins. So it's the trend.

And when we get to Chicago, I guarantee you, you know, one of those three is going to be a contender again to win the race. It's just the way it's falling right now. And, you know, Kyle Busch was not relevant yesterday. He was fast, but he wasn't fast enough to be in contentional win. He'll be up there at Chicago. All right. Larson receives fan backlash after tweeting he wants to run full sprint cart tour before turning

40. I mean, spot on for. me. Spot on for what? For, you know, him, for him wanting to do that, first of all, that's his, that's his passion. That's where he came from. Wow. I mean, how do you, how do you hold that against the guy?

He still loves coming to the NASCAR races and running NASCAR. That was his, obviously that was his goal because he came here. Yeah. But you can't be, you can't hold, you know, this would be like Doug Jr. going back around a late model right now. Yeah. That's where his roots are. That's where he came from. It's where Tony.

I mean, Tony's back at Sprint Car Racing. I'm a huge Kyle Larson fan, a huge supporter of his. I believe his talent is gigantic. But I am spot off on this tweet because it's not about this tweet. It's about the fact that a few years ago he went and made a comment about T-shirt sales. I don't want to go sign anything in my souvenir trailer because I don't make any money off that. So here's a guy that makes millions of dollars a year and fans when I raid on him saying, you don't want to go sign an autograph at a souvenir trailer because you're not making enough money.

He's like, no, because I make more money. he's selling them myself at the dirt track. And then he says, I want to win the chili bowl over the Daytona 500. So then NASCAR fans go, well, you know what, man, what are you doing here? And now you've tweeted this. So like, I'm telling you, I don't take personal offense to this. But our fan base is sitting here watching a NASCAR driver constantly blow the horn on the open wheel stuff. And they're probably kind of going, man, why don't you just go on and go now?

And the reality is he doesn't want to go now. him and his brand team need to sit down and they need to figure out how they're going to do this messaging in a way that doesn't offend our fan base because he's done three or four things that have made our fan base mad and it's all been i would rather win the chili bowl that dates on a 500 which for our fan base we go what no way drug test this guy he can't be okay right now is making this comment you know so i just think that he is constantly uplifting the open will side and kind of maybe i don't know of being a little uppity about the NASCAR side, and I think he's got to stop. I really think he could be a top three most popular driver right now, and he's not going to be making these comments. Anything? I'm good. I know that's deep for y'all, but that's...

No, it's accurate. And again, I love the guy. I want him to race here until he is 40. And then at 40, you know, he's going to be extremely rich and go do whatever he wants to do anyway. I think you're spot on in that, like, he needs to reference it the right way. He can have his own beliefs. He just probably shouldn't, you know, say it. He's young.

He's super young, too, coming to the sport. He is great. I'll tell you that. He wins at everything. He's the man. And that's why so many people love him. That's why NASCAR gains those. But the platform that he's playing in right now,

and this is a tens of millions of dollars a year platform for him in terms of what it cost for him to be able to buckle in that seat. Like your bread's buttered on this side right now. You know, mom would say, I can't say what mom would say because my daughter's sitting beside me. I could go for some butter bread. But grandma would say don't bite the hand to feed you, you know. Yeah.

So anyway. All right. Indie tire test originally planned as All-Star Packaged Test was called off. So this is a little bit of a cluster. This was a surprise to me. This was a big cluster. So I get a phone call two weeks ago from my crew chief going, hey, you want to go test the week after Sonoma. We're going to Indy.

And I was like, absolutely not. I got a couple things going on. He's like, well, it's a tire test for good year. And I'm like, well, spotters don't have to be at tire test. And then he's texting me back and he goes, well, it's going to be the all-star package. So we're going to plate race. And I'm like, we're not going to pack race at Indy. I don't care what package you put on.

Nobody's going to pack race at a single groove, narrow racetrack like that. You got to live for the corners. You're not going to pack race. You can't go test. We're pack race. And I'm like, I can't go. And you're not going to pack race. So apparently we knew Kentucky was pushing to get this package.

Now Indy was pushing to get the package. They're going to make all the teams go test the package. And here's the thing about that. It's a really expensive science project for teams because it costs, I bet $100,000 a car to go test. What do you think? Not counting the car. Engineers, airplanes, the hotels, the tires.

It's not cheap. It's not cheap. So all these teams are going to. and you risk wrecking cars and risking inventory. And we're going to do all of this at a complete fire sale to go run one race at the end of our regular season. Come on now. It doesn't make sense. So thankfully, it sounds like the owners and drivers got together with NASCAR and said,

hey, this doesn't make fiscal sense for us to do this. So what I don't understand is, you know, a few weeks ago, NASCAR executive said, we're pushing for this to happen this year. And then this week they come out and said, yeah, we weren't ready for it to happen this year. You know, we're right on schedule to focus on next year. Well, which one was it? Because you can't say both. Like, were we working toward this year and everybody said don't or were we not?

So I'm spot on for a fact that it's canceled because I'm telling you that package of Indy would have been horrific. You know, I don't think Indy is the greatest place for it. I'm kind of disappointed spot off that we aren't going to run it again because I think there's some few tracks that could use it. It could make a real exciting race. I don't think we need to do it more than a few times there. But I don't... We've already ran it once, and it was pretty good.

It's not like it's a huge surprise now. Charlotte was a huge surprise. I don't think anybody really had any issues either. I mean, these guys are smart. They know what they're doing. It wasn't a huge curveball. It was a curve ball a little bit in the beginning, but they're smart. They know what they're doing, so...

I was kind of kind of... I'm looking forward to seeing it a few more times this year. You know, I don't think Indy's the greatest place for it. So for these tests, this one specifically, NASCAR doesn't help find anything, right? It's more just up to the teams. It's a very expensive science project for NASCAR at the team's expense. Got it. Yeah.

So when you hear the word testing, you know, we're obviously supplying the driver. We're supplying the car. We're supplying the engineers. We're supplying all the data equipment. And the equipment that goes on those tires, T.J. may remember the number I've forgotten it. Like one tire on that Ford or Chevrolet or Toyota test car is a gazillion dollars because it has so many sensors and gains all this data. And that car goes out and runs a lot slower than our cars. And that's the manufacturers carrying that burden.

But the teams and the manufacturers carry the financial burden of testing. And the reality is the teams don't really need to test. We aren't jumping up down Sango test. But Goodyear is saying help us test to make our. tire better. Well, you know what? The NFL isn't, the teams in the NFL aren't spending money to make footballs better. The football manufacturers are. So that's where

our sport gets a little tricky in terms of who's responsible for what's going to be done or not done. And we all saw a great tire at Sonoma. And we all want to see great tires everywhere. And these guys go out and when they get there, they'll run three or four different tire combos. And the drivers are steady giving feedback. It would

you'd be surprised at how many times the driver goes, we don't like this tire. And that's the tire we go back and race. I, uh, I think teams like, I think teams like crew chiefs, engineers like to go and test because they can get a lot of data from it. We would, if we were allowed, we would test a lot. We would test all the time if we were allowed. But anyway, they tell us how to spend our money in terms of real testing. But the good year testing is different because at good year testing, you don't get to go out and test your car.

You know, they basically say, all right, you go out on this tire, run 10 laps, get your car, comfortable. Then we're going to tell you how many laps to run on each tire. You go run 10 laps on this tire. You go run 20 laps on this tire. So yeah, you're adjusting on your car a little bit, but you're not doing it like you would do if it were a Penske test. It's a good year test, but you're still spending your money to be there. And there is somewhat of an advantage for the teams to go. But the reality is across the platforms, you know, Toyota shares everything. So if one Toyota goes, they all get it. You know, if obviously one Stuart Haskar goes, a lot of the Ford stuff gets translated over. for tire notes and stuff. So it helps everybody once somebody goes and tests. But the thing it also does is it makes everybody run a lot closer to the same speed. Interesting. Next one. Dirt Reeser Scott Bloomquist skips drug test and gets suspended by dirt car.

Spot on or spot off. This is a weird. This guy's a character. He is. So you heard what happened at Eldora. Yeah. So he goes out and he's really fast at El Dorah and they come to a bunch of guys and they say, hey, you guys have to drug test.

and Bloomquist goes missing and he proceeds to, and I quote, fall down and end up at the hospital. And he gets hurt really bad. And he misses the drug test. So he comes back at the last minute, the day of the dream, goes out, wears him out, wins $100,000. When he got out of the car, I was on Clint's bus watching this race. And when he got out of the car, the interviewer said, Scott, a lot of rumors are out about where you've been the last couple days, man. what are you got to say? And he's like, man, that's a miracle I'm even here.

I fell and hurt my shoulder so bad. But he skipped out on the drug test when he hurt his shoulder. So he goes out, wins his eighth dream, actually his ninth. He was found illegal at one of them. So he's won eight, $100,000 dirt races in his career. So now he comes back to the track. Well, he's obviously got a target on his back. So they come to him again and go, hey, Blumquist, you got to do the drug test.

And he says, yeah, I ain't doing it. Yeah, basically. So they suspend him. He has a reputation for pissing dirty, if you will. Got it. I mean, there's that movie, Ricky Bobby, Pissed Excellence. This guy struggles to do that. Maybe that's what he does.

I heard the first thing he asked for me, when he wants to run that truck race? He's like, all right, I'd love to do it. When you got to take a drug test? I mean, priorities. But here's the thing, he's suspended 90 days I read. So he just won $100,000. He'll go blow that over to the.

course of the next three months. So how does that work? If he just won, can't they like take the win away? Well, no. No? No. I mean, I guess they could have if he'd have done the drug test, but he wouldn't do it. Yeah.

I guess that's so weird. Go YouTube his interview because the interviewer did an awesome job going on a lot of rumors, man. What happened? He's, oh, man, I'm just lucky to be here. It's a blessing. Some miracle I can race today. Interesting. All right.

I mean, there's rumors that this guy goes missing for a month. at the time. Yeah, it's weird. He's the party guy in that series. I think he owns like four cars now. I don't know what he owns. He's the best super dirt late model racer ever.

Yeah, he's arguably the best. Yeah. Yeah. Period. Before we take a break, we lost a pretty incredible member of the racing community and want to take a moment of silence for Jason Johnson,

sprint car racer, and his family. who passed away over the weekend. This is your exalted race center update. I'm Matthew Dillner. A bluff pit stop call was the strategy that put Martin Truex Jr. in Cup Series victory lane at Sonoma Raceway. Truex led 62 laps in route to his third victory of the season. Kevin Harvick, Clinton, Boyer, Chase Elliott, and Kyle Bush rounded out the top five.

The truck series had a wild one under the lights Saturday night at Gateway Motorsports Park. On a green-white-checkered restart, Justin Halley held off a hard-charging Todd Gilliland to score his first career truck series win. The Junior Motorsports late models were in action at Carteret Speedway on Saturday. Josh Berry had the lead with 25 laps to go in the Cars Tour event when he was involved in a crash. He finished ninth, while his JRM teammate Sam Mayer gotten an early race tangle that ended his night. Both drivers will race at North Carolina's Hickory Motor Speedway this Saturday night in twin 50-lap features. This weekend, the truck, Exfinity and Cup Series will all be in action at Chicagoland Speedway for a big NASCAR trip

We'll all give these guys a few topics. I don't really think I need to explain it much more. First one, drivers, including Clint Boyer, voiced frustration around the chaos of qualifying. at Sonoma. Is this the toughest qualifying session of the year for drivers and spotters?

So far, it definitely was the toughest for me. I mean, we had a situation where the series before us oiled down the track. There was a lot of speedy dry in the S's, a lot of speedy dry in turn 10. A lot of us had the strategy to go out as soon as the track went green because the track was cool, but when they saw it was dirty, they panicked. And they saw these two slower cars go through there, and they were sideways with the roost to tell of dirt, and all the fast cars sat. So with six minutes-ish left in qualifying, 40 guys are all trying to go out there and get their laps in, and it was a cluster.

I'll give Clint that. It wasn't. Historically, in the past, the track gets faster because of the cannon rubber on the race track. The track gets faster as the session goes on. I think they're on the same tire this time. Yeah, but still. I know what you're saying. It just historically gets faster.

I didn't see it. I didn't see it being that dirty. I think, you know, I think this was one of our better qualifying sessions where guys actually got out of the way of each other coming. Most times somebody gets in your way, and it is a little bit of a cluster. So you're expecting a lot of other spotters at a place like this. There's a lot of agendas was probably the challenge for spotters because guys would leave pit road and they would run slow to seven and then take off.

Some guys would leave pit road and come back in. Some guys would leave pit road and go sit and turn seven. Some guys would go to turn seven and then take off, like after they've been sitting for a while. Then you got guys on their cool down lap. There was a lot of people doing a lot of different things in a very short time window. And I think for five or six of us, we got caught up in that. And it's why guys like Denny Hamlin and Clint Boyer and those guys, Kurt Busch, they all ran extremely well in the race. It didn't qualify well because they got – Justin Marks pulled out in front of us in the S is the fastest part of the track.

We had the poll coming out of seven until that happened. So because of just that time crunch, I think a lot of guys made poor decisions. and it makes spotters panic. Eric Omerola now has seven top tens in 16 races this year, the same number Danica had in 190 races in the number 10 car. Does this surprise you, TJ? Doesn't really necessarily surprise me. I don't think, I don't know.

I mean, I think that, obviously, Stuart Haas is arguably the best, fastest cars right now. I think Eric is there at the right time. I think, you know, when Kevin won the championship there before, he was pretty much the sole fast car. There wasn't really anyone else there. Now they've got, they've figured out how to spread it across the board more, in my opinion there. They are most, all the cars are fast. I think he's there at the right time. I'm not saying she could go in there and dominate right now, but I don't really know if it's a, you know, a fair comparison at that point.

But Eric's got a lot of experience too. So. Amarola by morning up from San Antonio. This guy's killing it. 16 races. He's accomplished what it took her 190 races to do. Jovi is a big Danica Patrick fan. And I'm sorry to say this, Jovi, but Danica could not get it done in this car, and Eric

Amarola is. Is this really killing it? He's got seven top tens and 16 races. He's had his best finish at a lot of tracks, including Sonoma and Pocono. He's not in the second half of the year with a rookie. crew chief yet where he's going to have notes. Crew chief's going to have notes. He's in a position points-wise to make the playoff.

So here's the guy that with his first season, with a team, with a rookie crew chief, I'd say he's killing it compared to what was in the car that he got in. Because here's the thing. We know this car was capable of doing what Clint and Kurt did last year, and it didn't do it. And Eric is not doing what Clint and Kevin are doing, but he's really comparable to what Kurt's doing. and we all know how good Kurt can drive a race car. I think I see Kurt competing. He's hot or cold.

But when Kurt's hot, he's running up. He's competing, leading races. And I have yet to see that from the other one yet, in my opinion. I agree. He's not consistently top five. I wouldn't say he's killing it. But he's definitely improving. And, you know, he's got more to go to impress me.

I think we said this a few weeks ago, like to go to Pocono, a place where he had struggled and run the best he. he's ever run. I said, I think I said on the show, he's probably looking at Sonoma going, oh, God, but there's hope. Well, he leaves there. Eighth place or seventh place, whatever he finished. That's almost like a win for this team to leave Sonoma. We finished that well. Yeah, Daniel, I ran him. Did you outrun Amaroli yesterday? We didn't outrun a lot. So he kicked your ass, too. We pitted early in that sequence. So Eric sucks, but you suck worse. We did yesterday.

All right. Dale Jr. will return to the track as a broadcaster for NBC at Chicago Land. How do you think he'll do in the booth? Brett. Man, I see Dale Jr. as a very methodical, deep thinker and a soundbite speaker. And what I mean by that is a guy who can give you really good content in a concise statement. And we know he's been in the booth a little bit before. We know he's worked really hard to get ready for it. I've listened to the Dell Jr. download last week, and he was speaking about how he's nervous and whatnot.

I think he's going to do amazing in the booth. I think he brings a lot of really fresh perspective. And as TJ knows, fresh is important because guys that have been out of the cars for a long time, they don't know what's important in terms of what the driver needs to look for in the seat of the car. And he knows exactly what it takes right now to run fast in these style of cars. He's going to have a lot of good insight and stories for, the fans to bring to this. So he's been studying.

He's been working hard at it. He's been doing well, and I'm looking forward to it. I think it'll be exciting for the fan base. I think everything good is going to come from it. I think that's who wins in this scenario is the fan base, because when I look at other sports and you see who the most popular athletes are in those sports, NASCAR and NBC have managed to take the most popular guy and now put him in front of you on the booth to discuss what he learned in the race car.

Here's a guy that said Daytona 500 champion, a multiple-time Xfinity Series champion. He's very relative, a lot of wins and a lot of different style of tracks. So I think ultimately who wins here is the fans. And it's fresh. Very fresh, very relative. We know what these other guys are going to say. It's been the same for years and years and years. Now this is fresh.

Like something new. So I'm looking forward to it. Off the Wall topic. Europe is experiencing a CO2, shortage that's impacting the production of beer and chicken. Oh, no. That's horrible. Who cares about the chicken?

What would you rather give up consuming for the rest of your life? I know the answer to this. Beer or chicken. Stupid question. Go ahead. You're not on this seat on this thing. It says T.J. or Brett? Yeah.

I still want to do. Jeez, oh man, Jason. TJ, are you giving up beer chicken? Oh, man. I'm giving up beer. I know it's the opposite of you. See, unexpected answer. Well, I'm not going to give you an unexpected answer.

I know what you're going to say. I'm giving up chicken. Liar. Casey, where are you giving up? Oh, gosh. I would give up beer because there's still wine. I mean, it's true. I like wine more, so.

I get it. I totally get it. Great question. Thank you. Jason, we had not. No idea what anybody is a unique question, Jason. Thank you. Ask DBC.

Europe. Don't men carry purses in Europe. Isn't the... Mers? It's a MERS. Is it called MERS? The MERS. The MERS.

And they wear, you know, I am down with a capri pants thing, though. Or a satch. I totally wear capri pants on the spotter stand. Can we make this happen? Satchel. I want to show up to the spotter stand with capri pants. I would absolutely wear them. Yeah.

And have you not seen his legs? We don't have shade. ever. It's 100 degrees and we don't have shade. Like, we can't physically bring our own shade and put it up. They make us take it down because they're afraid it's going to blow into the stands. Listen, nobody cares. You're wasting air.

I know, but I'm just telling you. It's getting a sponsor for a... It doesn't matter. I'm just telling you I'm hot. So anything I can do... I'm going to be one of them bagpiper guys and wear one of them skirts up there. I don't know how. That's interesting.

Yeah. The wind might... Something. Yeah. Anything. Stretching on. On out, Leila. Stretch it on out, girl. All right. Ask CBC.

Beasley, Randy asks, why is Cup not racing at Iowa? With all the action we saw last weekend, I would buy a ticket every year to see that race. Good question. Yeah, why not? What do you got, Leila? NASCAR owns a track. So it's coming. Yeah.

Which means some tracks losing a date because we sure as hell don't need to add another race. So the question is, who's going to lose a date? Yeah. They're going to pull it from a track that isn't ISC or SMI, a public-traded company. You know, are they going to just pull it from one of their own? Highly doubtful. I don't know. I mean, you see.

Michigan. Really? I don't know. I'm just guessing. I mean, the thing is, man, the Midwest is a great, I mean, I'm doing some work now, and I don't want to give too much information out, but doing some work now with a company. You know, I went on a farming, that farming. thing I went to.

Oh, yeah, the one out in California. LA. And we met some people. Yeah, Farmersonly.com. There's a cool paint scheme that's coming for Clint Boyer that came from that particular convention, and we're working on some other things, too. But Iowa has a huge following of farmers out there, and the farming industry is, gosh, billions and billions of dollars of equipment and seed for corn and everything else.

So I think there'd be a big opportunity for us to hit the right mind. I mean, the thing is, Michigan kind of, the big three did kind of lose its buzz. Dodge it and the Chrysler, Diamond Chrysler, whatever they're called now. They're not even in the sport. So maybe that's the play. Take a Michigan race and go to Iowa. Iowa's a hell of a lot better track. I think Michigan should be more like Homestead.

Keep working on until you get it right again. Remember what Homestead did? They did like three versions of it until they got it right. Yeah. Yeah. And it's not right right now. So anyway, all right. Cassie Labrie.

She has. Is this the one that had like 17 questions? 77 asked DBC. She was bound to get one of them. Oh my gosh. She's asking a lot. That's good. Hey, yeah. Send them.

Yeah, keep coming. What do you think of the creature you change on the 95? What will Travis Mack do now? Well, first of all, I know he's playing basketball tonight, and he better not be late. So he's on my team. Tell him. Yeah. I think he'll land somewhere soon.

I thought he was doing a great job. I noticed it was noticeable. I noticed the 95 in more positions to have a shot at a successful finish this year than I have any in a lot of years past. It was noticeable, in my opinion. Man, I want to say this. I don't know, Travis Matt. I love to meet the guy. But I think he got into a situation that he didn't realize he was getting into.

Because he left the race team with a lot of depth, a lot of resources, and any shortcomings that he may have. because he was a car guy, not an engineering guy. So what that means to me, it tells me, is when he gets where he's going, he better have a lot of depth on the engineering side. And I doubt that's likely. Certainly the 95 car doesn't have the engineering depth that Hendrick Motorsports has. So had he become a crew chief at Hendrick, I think you see the results being a lot different than what he had here.

I think he probably got to this team and was over a lot more than he thought he was going to be over in terms of accountability. and I think he probably had to decide where a lot of the budget was being spent and being allocated. And when you don't see results, then you see if a new guy comes in and spends a lot of money and the car doesn't go faster than it did last year, I think you put yourself out there. And I think he just, you know, he left. And we see this a lot of times, man. A very talented guy leaves a very big team to go to a small team that doesn't have the resources

and they don't get the results. And it's that guy's fault. well what are they going to do now well i really i actually saw a tweet or an article that that was actually statistically backed up that said you know uh Travis Travis max expectations were were were realistic but theirs weren't i would agree with that if i'm the owner and i live in dream world and and i say man i'm hiring casey cane man, I'm hiring Travis Mack to come from Hendrick. Man, I've got this RCR alliance.

I want to go contend to win races. He didn't. But what he's not realizing is neither is RCR. So maybe their expectations weren't realistic. I mean, and honestly, they were in more positions this year alone to make something happen out of, you know, at 18th place car. He was in position to make something else happen, and he was taking chances like that. And I would have kept going with it because eventually you're going to get something. Here's what I see from the outside end.

And I don't have a lot of knowledge about the situation. I'm friends with Casey Kane, but I haven't seen him a lot this year. Haven't talked to him at all about the situation. But I sit here and look at this and go, somebody is second guessing this crew chief. And then it's like it caught on. And more and more people started second guessing him, and he got fired for it. And I've seen it happen. We've all seen it happen.

We all saw the calls that he was making. But he was making calls because he wasn't scared to do it. And I was for it. So anyway. Good luck to that guy, man. He's actually a pretty talented guy. He left a really stable situation. You know, and we all want to be something in this world.

And this guy wanted to be a crew chief. I saw his tweet last night saying he went to church and realized that being a father and a husband was more important than me in crew chief. And he kind of lost perspective of that. And I think that was really cool. But all he's wanted to be his whole life has to be a crew chief. And he thought this would be a good opportunity. I thought I was too. honestly I did yeah I didn't think it was a bad one but we also didn't know T.J.

like you said, what? It wasn't a Hendrick. It wasn't a Gives. What were their expectations? Apparently they were a lot higher than what. I mean, what should their expectations be? To me, top 15. To me, if you run top 15, it's a win.

Yes. And I saw Casey in position to do that a handful of times. Yeah. So, all right. Craig, Chev, you want to answer that one? Try to pronounce it. Craig Shevelier.

No, I think it's Chevalier. Chevolier. I don't think you pronounce the R on that. Whatever. Does Stuart Haas got any benefit? He's French. French? Craig's Chevrolet is not French.

Shevillard. Great. Does Stuart Haas get any benefit out of having an F1 team, especially in the Aero Department? I would go on a limb here and say zero. Why? I don't think. I think that there may be on the parts and pieces side of it,

maybe occasionally something that falls our way. But, you know, Gene Haas runs all the F-1 stuff out of Europe. That's a really, really long ways from Charlotte, North Carolina. There's no liaison in place to work between the NASCAR team and the F-1 team to work on technology. The cars are different. The process is different. I really don't. I mean, we've seen a lot.

The worst I've ever seen Gannasi run in their existence is they went out and brought in a bunch of F1 and IndyCar. guys to run their stuff and man they went from being competitive to not competitive at all. I don't think there's a lot of correlation between open wheel stuff and what our cars do in terms of what guys bring to the tape. We've never really seen those guys. We've seen a lot of those guys come in and I'm not going to name names, but they come in out of open wheel and they're these aerodynamicists geniuses and they get here and then they

get paid all this money and then the cars that they're overseeing go slower. I don't think this is realistic. I watched, I actually watched documentary on McLaren Formula One team on the way home last night. It was on Amazon Prime video and it was a four 30-minute deals and it was about how they build their new cars each year and their launch for the 2017 season. And there is nothing. I mean, they are, they are making pieces for them car. I don't, I don't see it benefiting. There's such a different type of car and different group of guys that I don't, I mean, we, we engineer and make our own parts already.

They can move their bodies during the race. Yeah, we make enough of our parts already. We can do that like that. So I don't see this being. Now, to add on to it. I think it sounds cool. Yeah, sure. Do we think with Penske and Ganassi in Indy card, do you think they find value in it?

That's why you guys are so fast at Sonoma. It's like a road course for. Yeah, it's F1. It was all that F1 stuff. You know, obviously not. I mean, to you answer your question, I don't think it's relevant. I think it's two different styles of racing. Yeah, I don't really think it's relevant.

All right. Head into Chicago. What are you guys looking forward to most? Chicago? Deep-ditch pizza? That's a good one. Man, I don't really love that. I don't either.

Pizza or Chicago? Not the deep-dish stuff. I love Chicago downtown as long as you don't get in the part where they shoot 20 people a day. I think it's really weird. I'm used to going to Chicago as we head to the chase. Yeah. So I don't know. It's going to be hot.

It's going to be hot. High 90s. Oh, yeah. Holy. Are you serious? It'll be human. Are we day racing or night racing? We got Friday's night.

We have 14 hour days every day. I don't. It's like a two-day show. You truck racing? Friday night, yeah. Same. It's going to be long, hot days. But I think Chicago's cool, man.

I wish the track was closer to Chicago. We usually stay in a little Tinley Park area. Cool little area called Tweeter Center. They had Luke Brian there last year. I'm a big concert guy. So there's a lot going on around there, you know. The what center? Twitter?

That's that next. It's literally called the Twitter Center. That next to Do Hickey Square? Is that next to Do Hickey Square? And it was before the Twitter came out. Or do thing. What a do thing? Do Hickey.

Do funny. Do funny. Yeah, do funny. You know what a do funny is? No. We'll tell her later. I don't think I want to know. Not today.

Not on the show. Not today. You need to learn this. It's a South Carolina slow thing. So, yeah. So what happened to our chart? Our guy didn't send in our updates. Well, Cornwood is out of time.

town, so I had to manually type in the updates. Sweet, his update looks cooler than yours. I know. I mean, I kind of like the big font. So we pushed because I had Michael McDalver, Kurt Busch, Kurt one, and I had Kurt over Amadinger, Amadinger choked. Four out of the last five races, D&S for him at Sonoma. I could have swore five years ago, the media was saying he was the best road racer ever.

I don't know, didn't they? There's a lot of good road racers now. Best one ever. So. I think he is one of the best. best ever at Watkins Glen, but he's not one of the best road racers ever. Who's your pick? For Chicago? Who goes first now, Jason? Is it the fault back to? Yeah, to fall back to Pocono? Yeah. Where I lost. Yep. So now I've got to go to

Chicago. Sweet. This is going to, I love when you go first, it makes it so much easier. Of course it does. But you didn't, you didn't change the thing because now Kurt Bush says he's available. Well, I couldn't change that, but now we know. Okay. So he's going to have to send you the file. So who's on my, I can't pick AJ or? Kurt. Oh, damn. Okay. I'm going to go with Joy Lagano.

Oh, you son of a. So, TJ, don't suck. Yeah. That's right, Layla. Did not agree with that team. Don't suck this weekend. Laila giving you the business, man. I'll go Chase Elliott.

That's stout. Coming off the fourth place, running a road course that guy is. He was fast all weekend. He did a good. job out there. Honestly, all, as a whole, as a whole, that was the best I've seen Hendrik Run. Yeah. As a company.

So, yeah. Something to build off of. Yeah. For sure. For next year. Big plans this weekend, Casey? Chicago for you or now? Yeah.

I was supposed to, but we no longer need, they no longer need me. So I'm going to Carsonology's race in Macon, Illinois. Yeah. How far is that? We need to get her on here. Two and a half hours before she leaves for college. So are you flying in Chicago? I'm tweeting her.

TVD. I haven't figured it out yet. Okay, then. Well, I'm going to help with Chad and social media stuff. Okay. What? Oh, my gosh. Sorry.
