KB. Yeah, this week, TJ was actually the spotter of the 88 Cup car, the 88 Xfinity car, the 7 Xfinity car. Yes, it's true. Yeah, we'll get into that later. Yeah, I asked for one money because I did two cars. Yeah, this show's presented today by one main. Thanks for bringing this podcast to your beautiful years. And making it happen.

In the beautiful Exalted studio. Hey, somebody's been, a lot of people have been tweeting me this week saying that I say at the end of the day a lot on this podcast. Do I say that a lot? Should we, should I mark it down every time? you say it? I think it should be a drinking game. We should come back here after hours and just listen to it. And every time I say it, we take a shot. It doesn't sound, it doesn't stand out to me.

I don't think you say it a lot. I don't think you do either. Hey, you need to lean up and straighten that last pitcher up. It's crooked. It's a bit crooked. I'm a neat for you. Oh, boy. Oh, thanks.

We got new pictures up in Exalta studio. Yeah, Exaltas got this backdrop in here now for sponsoring the studio. And it's really cool. They did it in 16 different squares and it's just different pictures of, you know, Exalta, paint, Dirtymoot Radio, Dale Jr.'s body without a head on all of them. Why is our picture not up there? Well, it's a good question. I don't know.

I don't know. He doesn't even have a podcast. Have you looked in the mirror? Does he have a podcast? It doesn't matter. He has a company. We need it. We deserve a square.

There's 16 opportunities and we're not in any of them. I'm pretty good with that. I have a face for radio and I'm pretty sure you do too. My face is great. It is great. Pretty hairy today. That's good. Yeah.

You like scruff? I love scruff. I love scruff. I love beards. I like beards. I like beards. I hate kids. If you like neck hair,

TJ has the most neck hair of any human being in America. Do you need to get your hair cut? I haven't shaved that. Ever since I did that movie. Teen wolf? Yeah. Yeah. You know?

Yeah. Ever since I filmed that movie. You have a hairy chest? What did you just ask that? Do you? Do you? Do you? Do you?

Do you? He's like a gorilla. No, I'm just curious. I mean, I was just wondering. I was just wondering for extended all the way down. I don't have like a whatever you what do you call that gorilla hair no that like that whole thing isn't there a name for that like from here you know that chibaca i'm talking about i don't know me i'm gonna

start packing a razor and just shaving his neck on sundays i wouldn't mind i thought about getting it waxed but they say that why don't you just get your wife to shave your neck dude it ain't that harder get a mirror and hold it like this and another mirror think i trust her with a razor You better trust her. All right. What are you going to say, Chris? Is her last name Bobbitt? Speaking of Exalta, make sure to follow Exaltor Racing on Twitter.

Kristen, where were you at last week? Yeah, why did you miss the show? Because here's the deal. We were all sitting here at 9 o'clock getting ready to start the show.

You don't come. At 920, you still don't come. We're texting you. We're calling you. actually beginning to worry to worry legitimately worry and you know what you you gave us nothing so why don't you own up to what and why i had such a violent allergic reaction to something that um i was out to like when i text you guys at what like 945 yeah we were still yeah i was so sick that they had to you know what we were doing we were looking at accident reports to see if you were looking at

wrecked car i had like w s o c channel nine up on twitter well technically i only have to email my boss Or the human resources lady. Yeah, but it's, at some point. At some point, they dose me then with medication. I was just like, I only have to email her, but we're the people that are waiting for you. So respectful. Anyway, I passed out from just the allergic reaction. I'm glad you're alive because we didn't.

Yeah. Are we going to, what you want to talk about Richmond? Yeah. We got to do. We got to do. That's it. Richmond Recap. That's where we're at.

Is that that bullet point we're on? Yeah. We're at Richmond Recap. We ran good. We started midpack. Let's talk about Exfinity race first, man. We won. Yeah, I just...

How was that chicken biscuit? Boss Mandel won. That was great. That was awesome. Elliot came in third. Elliot was third with the one main car. It went into one. Del Jr., man, about 12.

I'm watching the heat race, and Dale Jr. is, at the end of that heat race, two tents quicker than everybody in that heat race. And I was like, man, he's got a fast car. I think he can win. And I almost tweeted it, and I was like, man, if I tweeted, I'll Gene said, I'm not going to do it. And then they dominated that race. Yeah, I knew.

once the tires wore out. And I'm not, nothing against Eric Jones and them guys, but he just has such a feel because of the cup car with the power and stuff and how to save tires and control your stuff. He just has such a good feel for that. And he's really, really, really good at doing that. So, I knew we were going to be good. It was good. And I was toggling between the two of you listening to the, it was a really, really good.

Could you tell I had a little bit of a cold? No, actually, you sounded fun. Ours was probably pretty quiet until the very, right? So, T.J. wins. I finish third. T.J. usually spots for the seven. Tim Fita was doing it this weekend. Do we know what happened on that big wreck? I just think it was a combination of three things. We were three wide. I don't think the 48 was going to make the corner completely when he got there. And I think Justin might maybe could have left a little. I think it was all three combined. I know we didn't hit the 48, but I don't think the 48 was going to make the corner without making contact. with the seven regardless. Right. And the seven pinched him a little bit, you think?

Yeah, I mean, he was trying to just make the best corner he could. It wasn't like he was, you know, hey, I'm coming down whether you're there or not. He was just trying to win the race. You think the 48 crew chief should have stayed out? You think that was a dumb call? I think that is the dumbest call that I've seen in a long time. Yeah. Sorry, I don't know who it is, but you can't stay out.

And you're already a couple tenths slower than the fast cars. Right. You're seven laps left in the race, and you're going to stay out and be half a second plus two or three tenths. you're going to be almost a second slower a lap for seven laps. Right. So goodbye. See you later. You're either going to get wrecked or you're going to finish the last car and lead laps.

Yeah, there's just no point in it. You're better off, okay, if you just have an average day, getting your tires, missing the wreck and having a good run. Yeah. That's part of it. The green-white checker, you take your chances with it. 100% agree with that. Well, yeah, because you may only have to make three-quarters of a lap, get to the overtime line.

They wreck, you win. You're lucky. Or you finish fourth. But not with seven laps to go. And I was seven to go. Not with cup drivers behind you on fresh tires. Bad, bad. Not with anybody behind you with fresh tires.

Yeah. I mean, Bad recipe. Hated that for Justin, man, because they ran really well all day. They did. We got fast cars there,

so it was a good weekend for junior motorsports minus Justin. Yeah. I really think one of us will win Talladega this weekend unless they let the 22 tandem at wheel like last time in Daytona, which was so frustrating. Yeah, it was frustrating. It's just frustrating with people tan them.

They either need to allow it or really be more. I'm going to ask about it on a spotter meeting or you want me to. Oh, it's joint, isn't it? Every time I... We have a spotter meeting at every plate race. Every time I ask a question, everybody is grubbles and stuff. I asked why we couldn't double up in turn three, what we used to do like three years ago at short track

so we can save that whole to one to go every time. And basically, I got laughed at with it. I'll ask them then. Go ahead. I'm pissed. So, and the cup race. Cup race was awesome. Yeah, I thought...

They were sailing there and use all the grooves. And you don't really have that at a night, Richmond race. No. You don't have guys just sliding, you know, going down on the corner. They were chasing it to the wall, like chasing it to the wall. Not like driving up there. They're wheeling it. Yeah, and we just made a, we got to fifth and made a wrong adjustment.

Just kind of missed the last adjustment a little bit and ended up finishing 13th maybe. It's easy to do. Yeah. But I'll tell you what, the rookies were good again. Yeah. They were both actually pretty good. I know it went long green runs, but. Blaney and Chase were both good.

Yeah. Those guys are studs. What you got for spot on, spot off? Dale Jr. wins at Richmond even without a spotter for a lap. T.J., spot on, spot off. Spot on. Spot on. I mean, heck, I was just making sure he was paying attention.

I look into turn one. I've explained this a thousand times since Sunday. But I look in to turn one to see the track clear in front of us. I look back and I see the seven passing somebody, and my instant reaction to that is, because I'm used to that car, it starts spotting it. And I see a car outside, so I'm like, outside out. And then I look up and I see the yellow card. I'm like, sorry.

Sorry, all clear. And then I got the, what? Beep. T.J. So. The funny part, though, is Dale Jr. actually turned left when T.J. started screaming outside, despite the fact he was up against the wall. Yeah. Like, it was impossible for somebody to be out there.

Nobody could even been there. Couldn't stick a sheet of paper between the car and the wall. But he still turned left, which I liked. Yeah. So that's good. It means he listens. Yeah. He's responsive.

Yeah, we trust me. Yeah. I don't know why, but yeah. You got called out so much on that. It's fine. It doesn't. Hey, it's happened. I mean, I've done it.

It happens. I'd rather that happen then and not wreck, then it happened in a wreck. Yeah. Let's put it that way. Yeah. Yeah, your brain's trained for certain things on certain days. Yeah. It's easier to do than you think.

Richmond in the daytime versus Richmond at night. Man, I say spot on. How is that spot on or spot off, Josh? Yeah. Which one are we spot on? Spot on, buddy. Richmond at night. How about Richmond at day?

How about Richmond at day? Richmond at day, spot on or spot off? Josh, are you drinking when you did this? Maybe. All right. Richmond during the daytime, I'd say spot on because we had so many grooves to race. I say spot off because it screwed up my Sunday off that we normally get.

Yeah, I read an idea on Twitter that somebody said maybe race the Xfinity race on Saturday, on Friday night maybe, and then the cup race on Saturday during the day, which I'd be all four. I know it's a quick turnaround, but I don't see why we couldn't do it. I mean, that still leaves you Sunday at home. These guys, we all get a day with our families, and you get a lot of racing. I mean, I'd love to go to two races in that sort of span, you know. It'd be awesome.

So I'm spot on for the day race, man. There's so many more grooves. Would that screw you up at all the way you're spotting if you did a, night race and then immediately go into a day race, just the way the track is? I don't even know how I'd be able to do it. It'd be so hard. I don't know. Kind of like that 24-hour race where you do the whole

thing and it turns light and it's light and dark and then light again. I don't know how we do it. Fog. Sleep. Yeah. No, it doesn't. Hurricanes. Just asking. Brave all elements. Jackasses?

I don't know how this is also atop. Let's read it first. The famous Talladega Boulevard best infield and racing, the derby? Josh, what is the derby? Kentucky Derby. We haven't been to the Kentucky Derby. We race every weekend.

Listen, I thought he was talking about something that I didn't know about in the infield. Yeah. He just had the Derby. I'm like, yeah, what's the Derby? Buddy, Josh. Should I make my hat? All right, Scratch the Derby Party then. Is Talladega the most famous and best infield in racing?

It's infamous. It might be the most famous, but I'm not sure it's the best. I mean, I like Texas and Michigan, to be honest. Even the Glenn. The Glenn's a lot. of fun. Yeah, spot on for this one, man. Talladega Boulevard inside of the

infield is phenomenal. It is. It is bands, DJs, stripper poles. Tires wrapped around a dude. Tires wrapped around dudes with no clothes on. It is comical just to go out there and walk up and down Talladega Boulevard. Josh, Josh having chicken fights in a little kitty pool. I mean, it's mud wrestling.

It's Jello wrestling. It is one of the crazy. It's like Marty Grau comes to a. NASCAR strip and people just party for three straight days. Have you been out there? It is better this weekend than in the fall. It's better this weekend and this is why. In the fall, college football is so big in the south that you don't get as rowdy of people

to come because a lot of them are at Auburn. They're at Alabama. They're at, you know, UGA, South Carolina. They're at all the SEC schools because that's the best football conference, right? Let's not even attempt to say that's not accurate. There's a Taladega has a contest this weekend for, I think it's girls in, was it mayonnaise trying to grab a banana? I'm not even kidding. It's on Twitter.

I'm not making this up. Wow. Kristen. Kristen. What? That is Kristen. Girls in mayonnaise trying to grab a banana. Do we have to cut that?

It's a thing. You just made that up. I didn't. Like, oh, I hit the food. Josh. Wow. You are flustered. She takes one week off and nothing changes.

They send email blasts out and we get them from all the tracks. I'm sure they send some blasts. Oh, yeah. Some mayonnaise blasts. All right. Our Daytona and Talladega, completely different race tracks, spot on, spot off. How is that spot on spot off? That's just a question.

Josh, I'm going to have to send you next week spot on spot on. We just need a topic. They are, uh, I don't know how to answer that. They're both spot. I love them both, so let's go spot on. I don't, I don't know how we answer this question with spot on spot off. but let me explain something to you. At Daytona, after 10 to 15 laps, your car has to handle well.

So in order for you to run 3 and 4 wide, like you have to have a really good handling car. Teams take cars with more downforce to Daytona. At Talladega, it's wider than Daytona. It's 5 lanes wide versus 2.5 or 3 like Daytona. Your car doesn't have to handle. It has more banking. So they're completely different in terms of after 15 laps, you're going to be spotting your tail off and the drivers are still driving

their tail off. They're inches apart running 200 miles an hour all day at Talladega versus Daytona where handling comes into play. Now, I will say this. At Teledega, we typically will see Denny or Dale Jr. get to the front and somehow or another manipulate the field to single file up against a wall. I'm all for it. I can't wait for it to be.

I can't wait for it to happen because I got, I'm pretty sure we can do it. We're bringing back our good car. Amelia. We fixed it. Yeah. Yeah. So she's got a really good track record. And honestly, I believe she would have had a good shot at winning the 500 had we not had got loose off of 4 because we were starting to make up ground there at the end.

So he was by himself on the outside passing cars. Right. He does that every time. He just knows how to do it. I'm not sure how. I don't either. All kinds of theories. Yeah.

But like Brett said, though, Daytona's a lot narrower, too. That's what I'm saying. It's way more narrow. Yeah. And you'll see a few guys, probably Michael Waltrip run the bottom and try to get three. Is Michael running this weekend? I think so. Oh, that's awesome.

Yeah, he's running this weekend, I believe. Really? He'll be trying. We'll all be up against the fans. There'll be one car on the bottom. It'll be Michael. About 25th place, run on the bottom. Yeah.

When you see us get single file and you're at home, here's the deal. We're going to be single file until we get closer to the pit window. When we get within eight or ten laps of the pit window, we're going to start back racing. So take a break, grab a beer, do whatever you do, and come back in a few minutes. Yeah, because it'll get back good. If the 8-8 gets up front and we get single file, that's your nap time. Yeah. So plan that.

Yeah. Great job on spot on spot on. Spot off on the spot. Spot off on the spot. Spot off of these four bullets. The best part of that segment. Josh's piss. Look at him.

His feelings are hurt. I told you all I didn't have anything yesterday. The best part. The best part of that was definitely the covered in mayonnaise trying to grab bananas. You guys ready to go into Fast Lane? What is Fast Lane? Is this where you give us this four-long, four-paragraph-long rebuttal?

I'm going to give TJ and Brett a topic to debate. they're going to alternate her response first. Each of them gets 30 seconds voice their opinion, and then if we responded first, we'll get a 30 second. Robottle. Nice. And for the topics, we'll be racing to not. Ready?

No. Can you read that again? I need some gum. I have Altoys upstairs. I bought some mayonnaise. I love mayonnaise. Dukes or Helmas, man? That's right.

We're helmonds around here. That's right. All right. Brett's going to start. I am. You sure are. We got to read the question. I'm trying to get my time.

You and Josh are not on it. today at all. It's not my job to be on it. I just show up. Apparently. Tony Stewart returns to the racetrack this past weekend in Richmond. Who's laughing? What? What do? Nothing. I'm just clearing my throat. Tony Stewart returns to the racetrack this past week in

Richmond. Upon his arrival back to racing, NASCAR fined him $35,000 for comments made about lug nuts and safety. The driver's counsel pays the fine for Tony. Really awesome, by the way, in my opinion. It is obviously not great to bash the leadership of the sport, but at what point does the governing body need to let comments slide.

Also, NASCAR sends out rule book change last night mandating all five lug nuts must be on the wheels in a word document that they showed track of change. Gosh, my God,

how much words with this. This is a word document that you just read. Okay. Sorry. Let me, let me,

you all ready? Give me 10 seconds and then then start the timer. You're about to tear my headset off with your big feet. Okay.

Holy cow. So we're going to talk about Tony coming back. We're going to talk about him getting fine and we're going to talk about this lugnote deal. And I have 30 seconds.

You have 30 seconds. Okay. It's awesome to have Tony back. He does a lot of great things for our sport. His comments about the lug nut thing was, I guess, his plea to say, save us from ourselves. Like, if you go ride a motorcycle, some states make you wear a helmet because people are too stupid to know they need to wear a helmet, right?

Some states say, hey, if you don't want to wear a helmet, want to scramble your brain on the side of the road, that's fine, right? So drivers are saying, we don't know if we should pit with a loose wheel. Whatever, dude. You have to pit if you have a loose wheel. Well, now NASCAR has intervened. So they find of $35,000 and now NASCAR has said that they actually agree with him. I'm glad Tony's back.

I love my job. I love NASCAR. I don't want to get fined. Yeah, you really, even on this podcast, like it almost makes you conscious of, man, how far can we go with our opinion? Because if we go too far, if break is fine, $35,000, y'all are never going to see me again. Because I can't pay a $35,000. That's what I'm saying, dude. They can find me $3,500 and $35.

Like, don't run me away. But at the end of the day, I just said it. At the end of the day, drink. Man, you can't find the guy and then agree with him and make a rule change. But, I mean, it is kind of cool that he's. So Tony is paying the fine himself, even though the driver's counsel told him that he was going to, or that they were going to pay it. And he's going to donate that money to autism research.

Which is great. Really awesome. Yeah. Tony Tony is Brian France should match whatever the number is

Brian France should match the donation because come on man I like it yeah listen Tony Stewart is a genuine guy and I'm glad

he spoke up and said what he felt about it and I'm glad they're making changes because of it something's poking me in the side

what is it I think that blue pill you think it's my bag I need scissors and gum now all right TJ this is going to be you're starting

oh look at this another paragraph Carl Edwards wins at Richmond after a bump and run on his teammate Kyle Busch and turn four on the final lap. Explain to us what goes through your mind as a spotter when you are coming down to the last lap and racing your teammate for the win. I don't know if you really notice card numbers at that point in time. You've got two people that want to earn races and you need to look at who the second guy is and how hard do you think he's going to try to win the race. So for me, if we were leading the race and we were coming off turn two and it was Carl or Kyle,

I would know that they're probably going to take a shot of moving you. And they're both very talented drivers, and they both know how to do it without flat out reckoning. So my advice would be to go in and get on the bottom and slow it way down, so when he hits you, you stay right in front of him or get way up out of the way and try to get a run off the corner. No matter who it is behind my driver, I'm going to inform my driver the gap,

and if I think they're close enough to take a shot. Ty Dillon the day before took a shot. He was too far back. He missed. He did. So when you see that happening in your TJ, you literally know exactly how. how big of a gap you can have or not have in order to really have a shot.

We all knew he was close enough to have a shot. If Kyle had that to do ever again, I bet he'd leave the bottom lane open and try to pinch Carl on the exit because if he leaves it open, if Carl hits him, he'll wreck him. Yeah, you got to, I would have went all the way to the high groove because Carl would have chased you up there. And if he gets into the quarter panel, he's going to wreck you. Yeah.

But if he can get to the back square of the left rear bumper, he can hit you a little bit and knock you up the tracks. Which is what he did. He did it perfect. Yeah. But I would have sounded off into the high groove there. And I honestly don't think Kyle expected that. Yeah. I don't because he drove into the corner like, man, you know, he's going to try to pass him, but he's not going to hit me.

Yeah. Well, that changed. Yeah. Brett, do you think the innovations NASCAR is made with fan experience at home with the team radio, onboard cameras, etc., have contributed to lower attendance? Man, it's so funny that this question ends up here. I got a friend of Myrtle Beach named Billy that called me yesterday. And he literally said to me, you know, I've got my HD TV, I've got the scanner, I've got my own toll. at my own refrigerator full of beer.

I don't go to any sporting events anymore because the experience for me is almost better at home than it is at the racetrack. Now, I disagree with them in racing because you can see more at the racetrack. Richmond was a great race all day long. There were battles everywhere. But yes, this certainly has an impact.

I think it definitely has a huge impact. Man, people have so much access sitting on their couches. You can get up 15 minutes for the race, prop your iPad up, put your TV on. And you can hear, see, and you got your refrigerator 15 feet away probably. And what it cost you? The subscription for the, you know, your TV and your subscription to whatever it costs. To race that.

Yeah. So I definitely think we give them the fans a lot of information and stuff on their couches, but there's still the experience at the track that you can't match. The key word with NASCAR right now is not TV ratings. It used to be. It was TV ratings, TV right now. It's consumptial. and these other tools that they're opening up and allowing fans to have access to are wonderful for fans,

and the consumptions are up across the board. But at the end of the day, I have to settle again. I would have to say you have to come to races in person to really enjoy them and appreciate them. I mean, I would rather watch football at home, but I also enjoy the game day experience. So, you know, it's a balance. Good question, Josh. Yeah. He turns it away through the show and you finally don't suck.

He doesn't know what to say. That's my goal in life. It's just not to suck. Well, you're doing pretty bad at him. T.J. Who will be the next big name crew chief in the Cup series? Oh, man. Wow.

Is Greg? Is he already too big of a deal? I think so. Not really. He's Dale June's crew chief, dude. He's only in his second year. He's still a big name. I know, but it's just because of who he's associated with.

He hasn't really, you know, Greg is smart, and he's going to be really, he's got the potential to be, you know, a Chad canal, somebody like that. He's programmed like that because he came up under Chad, he's programmed like that. So when he figures it out, he's going to be, you know, he's doing a good job now, but when he gets good, he's going to be. Yeah, I think there are two guys in my mind that I think are going to be really, really good. And they haven't had a chance yet. Kevin Meandering, who's Elliott's crew chief now in the Xfinity series. This guy is super talented, came from the same molded model that Greg Yves came through. And a guy named Dax, who is on Kevin Harvick's team.

He's his lead engineer. That is probably the most underrated, smartest dude in the garage. That's an engineer. That is not a crew chief. Yeah, I honestly like the crew chiefs that we have here at Junior Motorsports. I like the way Dale Jr. has done it in bringing engineers from high-quality cup cars. And he's given them a chance to learn the ropes here. You know, we got Jason Burdett, who was at Hendry for a long time.

We got Kevin Meandering, who was on the 88. Both of them came from 88. And we got Dave Ellens, who was on the 48 for a while. And we've got a really good fleet of young guys here that could, you know, I mean, they could break out at any point in time. The crew chief role has changed. Like the model that brings us crew chiefs has changed so much in the 17 years. I've been here.

Like, it used to be when you would get on a team, you would say, okay, that's the smart guy. Everybody else just does what they're told. And then you would occasionally say, okay, that's the smartest guy. And then there's this other guy over here that contributes a little bit. Well, then we went to an engineer, which was a big deal. And then we went to two engineers traveling. Then some teams have three engineers traveling.

So now you have multiple smart people that you're pulling from. The car chiefs now have engineering degrees. Billy Kerwood, the car chief for Greg Biffle this year, big changes there. You bring in Brian Patty, you know, super smart crew chief, Billy Kerwood, an engineer as the car chief. And then obviously, you know, Rouse has their own engineers. Like, there's so many smart people on teams now. You literally could have five crew chief capable people on one team. Yeah.

And it's like he said, the engineering role was taken before the, you know, you would have the engineers, the next guy to take charge, basically. It used to be the car chief. Used to be the car chief. Used to be the car chief. If the crew chief missed a race or had to go somewhere, the car chief stepped up. Now it's engineers. They're all on the same page and all looking at the same stuff and can call races. And it has changed a lot in the last 10 years.

The engineers, people don't realize this, the engineers set the cars up. The crew chief typically doesn't. Now, is a crew chief involved in the discussion? Yes, but the engineers are using SIM, which is a simulation program, basically a video game, to tell you how to set your car up to make it go faster around the track. The engineers are using SIM and they're using all their tools to say, this is what setup we need in the car. Does the crew chief have the final say?

Yes. But the engineer is the person who's putting it on the plate for the most part. Yeah. And, you know, like Greg's an engineer, so he fits right in there with our group. And that's one thing I like about that. And we've got that here at Geno Motorsports as well. So it's changed a lot, and it's actually kind of fun to watch too. Yeah.

Crew chief didn't have as much on their plate back in the day as they do now. Now they manage literally their entire team. You know, from even the travel stuff and the apparel and, Everything. Everything, man. I'm going through the Greg, who my second spotter is going to be at these upcoming races and stuff. Yeah.

And he lets me handle most of it who I want and stuff, which is great because he doesn't, you know, and it's my area there. Yeah. But he's still in Ray and involved with it and approves it and all. And they're involved in everything. Meeting, meeting, meetings, meetings, meetings all day. It used to be you could almost stumble into a good crew chief role and not be that great at it. Now, if you get the opportunity to be a Sprint Cup crew.

Chief, you're super talented. Dang. I didn't fall at the right time, did I? No, you did. I didn't stumble in the right direction. I don't either. What you got for the first off the wall? Brett, deflate gate is back in the news.

A federal appeals court has ordered that Brady must serve a four-game suspension imposed by the NFL. Is this a good thing or we just need to let it go? I don't know. This is so stupid. Does our courts not have anything better to do than worry about whether or not air was in a football? Listen, dude, I'm a Bill's fan. This is my 30 seconds. I don't care.

You only play them once. It's not like you. The bills, the bills. The Bills play the New England Patriots the fourth game of the year. Yeah. So there's no time Brady. So yay for the bills. The Bills won't see the postseason, so it won't matter if they play them again because they'll never see them again.

It doesn't matter. It's all about that game. It's fine. I don't even know whose turn it is. It's T.J. Listen, I'm already done with it. I've already thought it was over with and done with. I mean, the guy cheated, bust him if you didn't cheat, let him go.

Who cares? I'm done with it. But I'm glad he's not playing a bubble. Court of appeals, really? That's what we're worried about. airing a football. Well, nobody likes to play the balls. Oh, God.

Just saying, well, Tom Brady. Second off the world topic. That needs to be TJ's code for it. Just let it go. Just so you know, it's another long paragraph here. I'm sure we'll be able to decipher what's coming. Can you just hit the clip notes? Yeah.

Ecto cooler's coming back to the stores of the end of May. What is Ecto cooler? High C. That green high C back when we were younger? Yeah. I had no idea what you're talking about. You know the ectoplasm, the green ghost from Ghostbusters? Yeah, slimer.

Anyway, they're re-releasing it, but what do you guys think about the new Ghostbusters movie remake? I think it's all female cast. It is all female. I love Ghostbusters. Who you're going to call? Ghostbusters. Really wish everyone to see this dance going on here. In the neighborhood.

Who you're going to call? I like your shoulder shimmy. You do? I like the Ghostbusters, but I don't know anything about no ecto cooler. I don't have. I'm going to get you some. Yeah, I have no idea. It's not going about it.

The main question was, what are your thoughts on Hollywood remaking classic movies like Ghostbusters? I love it when they do it good. The paragraph was too long and I can't read. Yeah, but that was really short. That was a good one. Oh, that's where the question should have been. Go, T.J. I think it's great.

Remaker, man, they were awesome movies. I like the classic one still, but... What's been your favorite remake of a classic movie? Straight out of Compton? Wow. Friday. I don't know. Those aren't remakes.

Yeah, you can't remake Friday. I wouldn't, don't even know if I could watch that. Which you, you can't beat the original. No. No way. You know what was one I was disappointed with, though? Remember, they remade Red Dawn. Oh, yeah.

The original Red Dawn was good. You remember that? Uh-uh. Were the Patrick Swayze? Yeah, Patrick Swayze. They come in, took over that school, and all the kids hopped in the truck and went to the hills and fought them off and stuff. Yeah. You never saw that?

No. That's a good one. movie about World War III, basically. I didn't see that. We don't need to be talking about that again. Dirty dancing. You said Patrick Swayze, man. Nobody puts T.J. in a corner.

You're in a corner now. Yeah, you're in a corner now, actually. Once you get up and do that. We got hashtag S. Ask DBC. Hashtag. Hashtag. We have chosen the best or funniest five hashtag Sdbc questions to ask you guys.

At the end, you will choose your favorite question, and that person will receive a autographed hat by Elliot Sidel Woo. At Turf Girl 97 asks, this is my first trip to Daga. Any tips for this longtime NASCAR fan? Bring home as many beads as you can. Get them beads. What's up, man?

First trip to Talladega. Go to Talladega Boulevard. Bring a camera. Bring a camera. If it's 97, I'm not sure if that's a birth year or not. That's when she graduated high school. She's 40. Okay.

That's, that's, yeah. She's 40, right? That's either a birth year or a graduation year. Oh, no, she's definitely of age. I don't know. Man, I don't think turf is fairly news. I don't know. If I were you turf girl 97, I would take a funnel.

I would take a phone. I would make some PJ in a cooler. And I would get me a wagon. And I would put all that in the wagon. And I would walk down Talladega Boulevard. And, man, I would just have it for three days. Hey, wear some sunscreen. No shower.

I wouldn't take a shower. Don't bring some clothes that you actually care about because you're going to smell it. If you really want to fit in good, you need to put some sunblock on your back or your stomach as an 88 and let it kind of soak in and burn around it and then wipe it off. And then send us a picture.

We've seen that. They send a picture. And that'll happen a couple hundred times probably this weekend. Don't shower for three days. Don't brush your teeth. Get the real experience. You're going to smell like smoke, beer. I mean, mayonnaise,

bananas, I don't know. Pass out, but make sure it's not around an RV that has carbon monoxide. Yeah. And cheer for the 88. There's nobody else there will. Next question. Dela Dega. At Gay 4 Moleman asks, what are your feelings about the caution clock? Will this ever be used in the Cup series? I certainly hope we don't use a caution clock. I think we need these races to be organic.

We don't need them to be fixed. When we start doing caution clocks in Premier series, I have an issue with it. If we're going to do it, I certainly hope it's a much revised version of, a bigger revised version of what we're trying to do now in the truck series. I do not like the caution clock deal. I like to race. And if you're good, you're good. If you're not good, you got to struggle through it and finish it out, man. So let us race. At BN Pierce S, what is the best bump and run in NASCAR history? It's got to be, it was a bump and wreck. Yeah, it's got to be Big E. Got to be big of you reckon Lomani.

But that wasn't a bump and run. That was a bump and wreck. And I will say this. Mayfield had a really good bump and run on Dale Earnhardt at Pocono. He did. Which is harder to do than you think because at a place like Bristol, it's easy to remain close enough to a guy to have a shot at a two and a half mile racetrack track like Pocono. You don't expect that exciting of a finish.

And yet they got it. So maybe that's a really good one. Yeah, that's tough to do, especially than flat corners. Because when you hit in them flat corners, there's not a lot of banking to save you. So that's definitely a tough one. But the most famous one, it's probably got, the best one's probably got to be Bristol. Yeah, there are two things that fans were talking about on Twitter this week that I, that caught my attention. Number one was Samantha Bush said the word shit. Well, what did you want her to say? Woo, I'm so glad my husband got moved. I mean, come on.

People get a life. I mean, people that are complaining about that are obviously Kyle Bush haters. And then the flip side of that is, I see a lot of people saying, man, I can't believe he moved We're the dirty racer. Every person who says that has to be a Cowbush fan. They're Pro Cowbush. So you see Pro Cowbush say, man, Kyle Busch is a butthole. And you see all the anti-Cobush. Samantha's a butthole.

And it's like, man, either way. Either way, man, they can't win right now, you know. Yeah. I mean, he asks for some of it. I mean, you ask for some of the stuff you get when you come off turn four and you say, what time is it haters? I mean, you're going to get. T.J.

will never spot for Kyle Busch. I will go on record and say that. For a lap. Then he comes down pit road looking for a wrecker. I spotted four minutes truck race, and we actually led pretty much the whole race, and we lost the lead coming out of four to Todd Bodine on the last lap. Wow, that's not embarrassing. I don't know if I'd ever tell anyone that story.

Kyle Busch gets passed by Todd Bodine. What? What cup drivers have you spotted for that obviously in the Cup series or not? How many cup drivers have you spotted for in some series or another? currently are retired as well matter yeah whatever uh nemichick rigs boris true x kenseth del junior um sterling i don't know so at least seven yeah at least seven i mean i can try to rattle mine off obviously elliot sadler jeff burton clint boyer kevin harvick gregg biffle michael waltrup martin true x maybe maybe i may be missing one or two and i've been the only ones i've ever done in cup

or Jeff Burton, Clint Boyer, and Elliot. So, I mean, we do a lot of other guys and a lot of other series. It's fun when we do that, too. Yeah, it's kind of a break. Did I say Kevin Harvick? Yes. Yeah. I did him a truck race.

I cannot believe you lost a truck race. Casey Kane. I won with Casey Kane at Rockingham in a truck race. But you lost with Kyle Busch who wins. I'd rather win with Casey Kane. Kyle doesn't lose truck races, man. Hey, dude. It had me.

What did you think was going to add? Give it away. Just give it away. At L.M. Libra 88 asks, do you think Tony can win a race and make the chase now that he is back, or will he still struggle? Anybody can win a race. I mean, there's a lot of cars. If he, they get it right, they've got a lot of good, Harvick's fast, 41's fast. He'll bounce off them a little bit, and he'll come alive somewhere and be tough to beat and have a shot of win him. There's a major difference with Tony Stewart back this year than the Tony Stewart we've seen for the last two years. And that major difference is the 14 car is a lot faster right now. Brian Vickers went fast in it.

Ty Dillon went fast in it. Brian Vickers had a car that was capable of winning at Martinsville. So when you give Tony Stewart a fast car, he absolutely is capable of winning a race. Now, he's not going to run the entire race this weekend at Talladega. He's going to run a lap or two. And then the first caution he's going to get out and let Ty Dillon get in it, you know, because you run the risk of being in a severe crash there. Clint actually runs a carbon fiber seat at the plate tracks.

because it's a safer, more durable seat. Yeah, because the crashes at Talladega are, you know, they're high-speed, high-impact, and your car can leave the ground. So these guys are crazy. You know, I mean, when you look at race car drivers, we've been very fortunate that we've not had a lot of guys seriously injured lately, but it's still a very dangerous sport.

But Tony is not going to come back in struggle, I don't think. I think mentally and physically, he's in a lot better place than he's been the last two years, and his cars faster. The cars were faster. I think most of them got wrecked. Yeah. So hopefully they got more coming.

Yeah. You know, dang well, the biggers ain't going to go a race without trying to win. At Davy Center asked, was this the best race at Richmond that you've ever seen from the spotter stand and or the grandstands? I don't know if it was the very, very best race. I've seen some pretty good races there. They were three, four wide there a couple years ago on a restart coming, you know. But it was a good race. There was cars all over the place.

I like the speed difference from a guy, the gap. You know, you go to the corner, one guy goes the bottom, one guy goes to the top. He makes up ground in the middle, and here comes the guy back on the top. That's good racing to me. So I really enjoyed it. I'd love to race more there in the day. It was a great race. We used to put a sealer on the racetrack, and people may or may not know this.

We put a seal on the racetrack. The guys would run around the bottom. And after they'd run around the bottom for a while, they would wear the sealer out. So then they move up to the next group because it had more grip where the sealer was at. So by the end of the night race, the top groove had grip. had grip. Well, the bottom still was the shortest way around the racetrack, and guys who were handling well could still go fast. So Richmond has always produced great races when we have multiple grooves. A place like Bristol produced more exciting racing with one groove. A place like Richmond,

one group is boring. It's a snooze fest. So multiple grooves at Richmond, great race. One of the best races I've ever seen. I wouldn't say it was the best, but certainly one of the best. So what do you think the best or funniest question was? Who gets the hat? The one who got the most laughs. We'll go. I go with Turf Girl. Turf Girl 97. TJ, you still with us? What are you doing over there?

I'm looking up Twitter pictures and stuff. Yeah. Just looking up counts on here, like these favorite ones here, the people we've picked. I don't know. I kind of like, yeah, the Turf Girl is asking, that's awesome. They're going on your first race. I got to give that a winner. Yeah.

I mean, that's my pick. Maybe she'll come to. Maybe she'll find you at Talladega. Maybe she'll find us at Talladega. day three when she hadn't showered, don't want to give us a hug or something? Let's look. Turf, we'll hug it out. Girl, 97.

TJ thinks she's underage. I don't know. And we can't suggest that she drink. I think she's 19. I can't. Maybe she had a sister that was born in 97. I can't assume. Okay.

I'm not encouraging. I definitely don't know if she's old enough to drink. She's from Kentucky, though, so she probably knows how to drink. Yeah, drink it up, girl. if you're legal. If you're not, don't. If you're not, just enjoy the sites and bring your camera and video anything you see wild. Yeah.

Is there, Senator Brett? Is there anything you guys have to rant about today? I think the hardest thing to swallow this week is you take the good news of a guy of Tony Stewart's caliber coming back. At the end of the day. That's a big deal. That is a big deal. Tony Stewart at the end of the day is a big deal. So he comes back.

You have all this synergy wrapped around. that being exciting. And then you turn around and slap him with a huge fine for stating an opinion about a safety issue. And I realize safety issues are touchy. But then the thing you slapped him with, you find him and you walk away and you actually change the rule. So, man, I don't.

Sometimes we just, like, do things to. Yeah. It's like we cut our nose off to spider's face. I don't, that's not fair to say, hey, you're wrong. Wait a minute. You know, hey, you're wrong. You're paying me. Wait a minute.

We agree with you. Yeah. Okay. Maybe you get a refund. You should get 50% off. You need to get something. Oh, what's he want? It's Mike Davis.

Mike Davis. T.J.'s buddy. Daga. Let's talk about Daga for a second, just because we're going to be very important there. We are. Spotters are a huge role at Talladega. The drivers need to listen. And, you know, if you have a good repertoire with your driver, you can.

Look at you pulling out the big word. That's the biggest word he's ever used on this show. Yeah, sorry. Life. Yeah. So the driver and the spotter really need to be in sync with each other. The crew chief wants to race starts. Not that he's got an easy job, but he's pretty much done.

He'll make a couple little adjustments and pick four tires or two tires. It's basically up to the driver and the spotter to communicate well and try to get up front and hold them off. TJ's obviously a good plate spotter. Dale Jr. Always has a super fast car. Fast cars are always easier to spot than slow cars. When you take a guy, when you watch these guys qualify, and some of these guys in the back are 1.2, 1.3 seconds off the pole speed.

Can they keep up in the draft? Yes. Can they finish well? Yes. But they have to be very aggressive. A lot more aggressive than Dale Jr. does in order to stay up there. So we play a huge role in how aggressive they can be. And ultimately, whether or not they wreck.

If we mess up and they mess up with us, it's over. We can create a catastrophe there by being off by a few inches. So when these guys come off a turn two, we literally are clearing by inches. When we see them come off of four, they're coming at us. It's a weird angle, and we tend to be a little bit more conservative there. But, man, we play a huge role in this race. Yeah, and it's all, it's not right behind your car. It's what's going on behind that.

The driver has to understand what the spotter is telling him, and we're at a position the car. And it's tough to do. There's a lot of words that are being said really quick, and the driver has to process a lot of information really fast. And one thing, too, that we've not ever talked about on this show, the driver's inability to see in front of them. They can see the car right in front of them. But when you start talking two or three rows in front of that, these guys are looking through windshields.

So imagine going down to interstate and pulling up really close to an SUV, and then you can't see the next three or four cars in front of them. So if they slam on brakes, you're going to hit that SUV. We have to now spot really, really hard out the front of the car as well as the back of the car. That's not something that we used to do five years ago. Yeah, I mean, I don't plan on having any cars in our windshield. You usually don't because you're that guy that's going to qualify in the top seven and have one of those fast cars. Probably.

We have to provide a lot more information out the front, just almost as important as out the back. If you see them guys checking up, you definitely let your driver know. That way he doesn't run up on that guy and have to slow down. Then the gap gets bigger. It's way easier for you to tell him, hey, they're jamming up a little bit, and he can crack a little bit. He just kind of rolls on easily up there. Rather than running up there, whoa, whoa, then they all bump a little bit.

You guys have been doing this forever, but do you, like, races like this, do you ever get a little bit nervous? I don't. Before the Daytona 500, I get excited. Because you've waited all winter and you've really waited all year to get back to that chance. Yeah. But then when you start, you say green flag and you start rattling off three wide, you're inside, 32, plus and blah, blah, blah, you know, here we go. It's, it's, it's, you get in your rut. Now, I will say this, man, when you're up front and you say white flag, you start thinking, I can't screw this up.

Like, I have to try to win this race. What information? So your heart rate, certainly. If your heart rate doesn't go up, how does, how does it mean, if you love what you do, this is a passionate thing, you know, so, I mean, my heart rate goes up at the end of the race and a plate race only. Yeah, before the 500, I'm maybe a little bit nervous because you got, there's celebrities there. The whole off season, everyone spent so much time on their cars.

Everything's new and ready to go. You know, but once the green flag drops, you're, yeah, it's out. Yeah, it's out. But at the end, though, like, we finished second. probably four or five times as well. And we've had chances, just never could get that final push to get around somebody. Then we ended up winning. But you know what's happening at the end.

Like, we took the white flag. I mean, I'm just trying to tell him everything I can tell him where the runs are coming from. Normally there's somebody really good behind you as well. Like there's always somebody like, Danny's back there. Brad's back there. Somebody, and you're like, oh, man, Jimmy's back there. Somebody, you're like, oh, here they come. And they know how to get runs.

Yeah. You know, they know how to get runs at you. Yeah. So it's, you know, you definitely, your heart rate definitely picks up. Another aspect that's very different for us at Talladega versus anywhere else we race is we stand with the fans. That's true. So when they all stand up, clearly they've seen something exciting them. When they all stand up, their seats go, bam-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-bblah!

It sounds like a bomb's going off and you're like, you feel it. You feel the thing rumble and you're like, okay, what do they see that I don't see? It's almost like a split second of panic that comes over you going, oh my God, What are they all looking at that I'm not looking at? But it will be somebody that they love Dale Jr. or whoever is taking the lead and getting people really excited. But we literally stand with the fans. So we smell cigars, cigarettes. We see beer cans being thrown.

They're up there getting our autographs before the race. So that's a very different experience. We're usually so high and so removed from those guys. They're not an element in our world. They're a big element there. They're not a problem. And normally whenever I can tell when Dale Jr. gets angry and says something, I can see, you know, like a thousand people just go.

you know, turn around a look, and I'm like, you want to hide for a minute. But I think it's pretty cool that they can be there. And I think it makes people want to go to the track. I think they want to go more being closer. They feel like they're more involved. So I like it. And Talladega, that place is awesome. Like people that work there and stuff, they work with you.

And it's a great place. I've never had a problem going there. No, I love it. Yep. All right. So your predictions? Your prediction last week sucked. It did.

My prediction was good. It was better. Harvick, where'd he finish? Fourth? Yeah. Where did you finish? Dude, I don't even know. Maybe 9th.

Oh, he finished that good? He passed us at the end. He stayed out on two tires and went back to 20th. So Harvick beat Keselowski. Another winning week. I think we should go with just wins. Oh, now he's going to change the game, of course, because he's lost so many. We'll go from here on out.

We go from here out. Okay, let's do this. If you get a win, you get the point. Let's do this, Josh. From here on out, I think we do it. this way. Let me propose something to you. We only get to pick each driver one time from here on out.

So from now, it's basically 30 races. How many races are left? How many have we run? So there's 26 left. There's certainly 26 capable drivers. I'm not picking those guys back there. That's not fun. You got 26 weeks. So basically... Can't pick the same guy twice.

So basically, you know, if you pick Landon, I got not using top guy all the way. I got to try to pick somebody that's going to finish just barely in front of him. Right. That makes it tough. I just like wins. Why can't we just pick the winner?

If you get it right, you get the point. Because you're already so far behind us why you're trying to change the game. We'll start now. Yeah, we'll restart. So I've already won. No, we'll just add to this now. Like, you can keep your lead. You keep your lead right now.

And if we get the winners right, you just add a point. But we're not going to have anything to brag about every week. Yeah, we will. You'll brag about it. You've only picked one winner. And that was, that was, you were trying to jinx him. I picked Denny to win the 500, and you picked him. to jinx him, and so you would literally have zero right now.

Well, not really. I picked someone to win the guy right, didn't I? Jimmy or somebody? Nah, no. I'll go back and look. That dude's got a great girl. You're ofer. No, man.

That's not true. So we pick, you only pick each guy once from here on out. Who's making this chart, that dude? Josh. Have you seen his ability? Have you seen how much he likes to write? Yeah. I think we'll be fine.

All right. So, go ahead. No, I won last week. So now you're going to bank your pick off me. Yeah. Well, let's see. Let's see how strong you come right here. We're going to give shoutouts to a lot of people you've never heard of.

Oh, by the way, Mike Harmon rolled up in Eric Jones's truck last week wanting to fight. He should have hit that fat ass in the mouth. Like, dude. I think they should have hit each other. Mike Harmon is in the way every week. Oh, my gosh. He is so bad. God, he pisses me off.

Everything he does pisses me off. But I mean to get run over, though. Get run over. Get out of the way. He was low. He's four seconds off. There was three lanes on the outside of him. Not a fan of what that guy got that. And then what afterwards he runs into the Gibbs hauler?

I get. I don't know if he ran. He didn't run. He might have rolled into the Gibbs Hall. You get that right. There ain't no running going on. We saw him coming out. We were like, what are you doing in there?

I think he's sumo wrestles when he's not in the car. How does he get in and out of the car? He's huge. Manase. Yeah. Spits on it. Manase. Oh, my God.

Back to the show. I'll take Landon. Landon Castle has been called. He's a listener to Doher. Yeah, Landon is. He likes it. He likes his show. We're going to swap t-shirts here eventually.

I think I'm going to go with David Reagan. Yeah. That was my other pick. Former Talladega winner. Two-time Talladega winner. Yeah. Who spots for him? I think Toby.

I might want to change my pick. I'm just kidding. Exactly what I was thinking. Oh, man. I was hoping. I'll take Landon. I'll stick with David Reagan. I'll take Landon.

I mean, that was tandem. That was tandem racing then, so. We're saving up our big guns. Oh, you can't throw them out now. You can't pull it out now. I do think, though, Toyota's lined up at Daytona was impressive. I don't think you'll, I think that, I don't know if that will happen again. You don't think so.

I think they'll try, but I think the runs will be, Daytona's a lot easier to block and hold people off. Teledega is not quite as easy. If they're going to do that, you're going to get four or five Chevys lined up, and they're going to work just the same way. And if you leave the bottom open, they're going to drive down there. If I were in a fantasy league, I would take Matt Kenseth or Dale Jr. Absolutely. I think that's the two you've got to beat this week.

Yeah, McMurray. McMurray changes lanes a lot, which makes it risky. He does. He's a very good plate racer. But he and Trevor Bain changed lanes more than any other cars in the field. Yeah, well, Trevor Bain. Why do you think they do that? He had a lot of help changing his lane last race.

there when he got hooked. Why do you think they change lanes so much? They get bored. Just like, hey man, I'm getting out here. We get up here. Well, there are them people on 77 that just can't sit in the fast land. There's a gap, so they got to get over there and then get back over it. Yeah.

So that's just, I mean, you just, you can tell, we can probably tell you how each one of these guys goes up 77 in traffic. Yeah. Big difference spotting for Elliott and Clint. Elliot, even now, and obviously he had a lot of success at the plate tracks in Cup. Man, if I tell him to do something, he's doing it. If I tell Clinton do something for the first half of the race, Clint is riding. He is going to be in a lane and he's not doing a bunch of crazy stuff. Because every time you change lanes, that's when you risk getting wrecked.

Or giving someone else a run for making something else happen that can create something to pass you. Yeah. Yeah. One thing about Dale Jr., he'll, if he gets a run, he's passing you. He's pulling out. Josh is giving us wrap it up. If you wouldn't have had 80 word questions, we wouldn't be long. Well, let's thank Exaltta again for having the studio.

for us to come have fun in. And one main, man. Thanks again for having us. We got a bunch of one main people coming this weekend. We got 51 main people. 51 main people. Nice. A one main victory lane would be nice.

Kristen, make it happen. Make that happen. I'm going to try. Give us feedback. Rate us. Send us tweets. Holler at us anyway. Yeah.

Next week we're going to give shout-outs to the people who give us good reviews. I'm going to give shout-outs to people that called Mike Davis's 1-800 line to leave reviews about the race and just tell him that he sucks. Just see you now. Hollowie out. See you. See you guys.
