Bring home. Free light. Coming to the line. George, bumper. Clear. Hey, everybody. I am T.J. Majors, continuing the streak of attendance. T.J. Major's the feature winner last night.

Yeah. Well, the Red Sox also won last night, too. That's not a feature, really. Congratulations. on the big dub, man. That's a big deal. It is, a big deal. Now we get to focus on Homestead, really. Do you get a clock?

I hope. That would be nice. I got a clock. I gave the other one that I have to my parents. Oh, that's nice. Yeah, I gave it to them for Christmas. They deserve something for having to raise your ass. Yeah, that's a good thing.

What do your parents get? Mike Davis is in the house. Whoa. He only comes in here when we're in trouble. If we're in trouble. If T.J. wins, he comes. If I wins, he comes. Oh, he's not even here.

He's here to get something. Oh, well, just kidding. I'm Brett Griffin, Spotter, Clint Boyer, Elliot Snyder, who ran third in his old truck race this weekend. Casey's in the house. With Lola. Layla's in the house. Joey's got a teacher work day today, so she wanted to come to the podcast.

I'm like, why do you want to go to these podcasts? They're boring. She's like, no, they're not. They're fun. They're fun. They're fun. Unless you know what he talks about. Yeah, well, she lives with me.

This is accurate. Yeah, so she's fully, my children are raised in the real world. So do you have any good stories about your dad? Why don't you tell them about last night's story? What? Yeah. So I'm at the racetrack, and I get notified the most horrifying news that dad can ever be told to have a sixth grade daughter. Jovey has a boyfriend.

I vomited right on spot. I literally. A boyfriend. So what's his name? What's his name? Andrew. Andrew. I vomited right before the race.

What you said? What's the heck? What's wrong with that? She's a girl. She's going to have a boyfriend soon. It's not time. Okay. So I got home last night and I lay down all the rules.

Yeah. No texting boys ever. I've already had to do this about a month ago. Malin's like, Dad, just so you know, I got a boyfriend. I'm like, she's in second grade. And I'm like, no, she's like, I do. And you can't do anything about it. I'm like, what?

It's like, yeah, I got a boyfriend. What's his name? Maddox? All right, Maddox? Let's have a little talk. So I go to school to pick Malin up. I walk into the classroom. This little boy comes up to me and says, excuse me, sir, do you have any, do you know where any paper is?

I'm like, God, so you're a classroom. You know where the paper is. I don't know. And he runs off. I'm like, okay, whoever that kid was,

whatever that kid was, whatever. And like, 30 seconds later, this kid comes back with this number on it. It says, this is my mom's number. And,

you know, I want to have a playday with Madeline. And this other boy next one goes, oh, Maddox has a crush on Madeline.

And I'm like, oh, you're Maddox. And now you're, he's literally, he's trying to get up a date. He pulled the paper up and put it in

Madeline's backpack. He's like, this is my mom's number. At least he asks for permission. Guys are terrible. Boys are terrible. Well, you're a guy. I know. I realize that.

Oh, my gosh. I'm endorsing the statement. So, Andrew. What's he want to do? What do you mean? What's he not going to do anything? That's what he wants to do in life. What's he like?

So this is how I have. I don't know. So Bodie, my six-year-old, we went to a lacrosse game last year. And this kid named Andrew Thompson literally was spending. a ton of time with Bodie throwing the football, you know, how old are you, 12, 11? I'll be 12. She'll be 12. So he, let's just say this kid's 12.

So he's half his age. So I come home and I was like, you know, Claudia, this little kid named Andrew, and he lives in our neighborhood. I was like, man, he was so nice to Bodie. Like, it was so great to see an older kid take time to spend time with a younger kid because a lot of these older kids now don't do that. We did that growing up, but we weren't staring at our phone all day. So then months and months and months later, here we are.

The irony of me giving this. kid a compliment and now he's my sixth graders freaking boyfriend. Probably your future son-in-law. We're not going to do anything. I know. That's exactly right. I only see him at school for like 30 minutes.

That's it. Yeah. So how did he ask you to be his girlfriend? Yeah, how does this work now? On the way back from lunch. That was it. Oh, the lunch, after lunch, ask. Will you be my girlfriend?

Yeah, and I said yeah. I didn't say yes. I said yeah. That was very nice. Keep it cool. Yeah. I didn't say yes. That's awfully brave on his part.

Yeah, I give him props. I'll give him props for that too, which makes me even more pissed off. So let's move on. My blood pressure's going up. I don't like it. Martinsville, what do you guys think of it? T.J. Yeah, I like it.

I'm not complaining. Martin's will's been good to this room this year. It has the MVP, regardless for me, and I want to hear T.J's comments about this. Holy. your pit crew. Yeah, pit crew, pit stall, right out, straight out. Pit crew was really good. What pit stall did you have?

Four? Man, I'm telling you, you guys would come in. I think you came in the first stop like seventh or something. It went out second. It went out second. And I was like, holy cow. I was blown away at how much your pit crew just came through every stop. Yeah, they didn't have any.

We had no hiccups on pit road. We made it out. We didn't have to go all the way to the wall. So we were basically shorting that corner. So it was way better. I had opening in, opening out. So basically we could go straight out almost, and it was really good. I didn't think Joey had the best car all day.

There were certainly parts of the race where I thought he did. And the middle part of the race, I think we had the best car. From 130 to maybe 100 to 400 to 400, really. To 100 to go. I agree with that. 100 to go. And then it looked like the two came on, the 78 came on, the 11 had spurts of it. But it didn't matter because every freaking pit stop, guess who got the lead?

Yeah, and we were really fast in a short run. And the two of the 78 were definitely got a little bit better at the end. I think we were a third or fourth place car, which if it came down to that, that's I was going to be happy with our day. We had a solid points day. That's, you know, all you can really ask when you go to Mars. Because you don't know what's going to happen there. You don't.

And for me, it wasn't a wreck fest, which is cool for people who actually appreciate racing. We had some really good racing to finish state. just guys were side by side. They were beating and banging. Lab cars were right in the middle of it all. Lap cars were in the way, man. It was one of the better races. Now, I mean, obviously crashes are exciting.

I get that part of our fans. But one of the better overall race is definitely the best weather we've had recently at Marjol. Yeah, it was good or not being a nice day. I mean, a little bit cool. But then what people don't know is there was a chance of rain. Rain was moving into the area and it was kind of hit or miss whether it was going to hit.

and if it did hit, it probably wasn't going to end the race, but we were going to sit there for a little while. Yeah. You could see it off turn four. You could definitely see the rain. The rainbow came. I didn't see the rainbow. Double rainbow.

Yeah. Very scenic. It's very romantic, Jason. Thanks. Did you take pictures? You did take a picture. Of course. Everyone was taking pictures.

Literally like everyone as soon as they saw it and people point out there, people's not everyone. Not everyone. Literally a half the crowd was sick pictures of it. Not everyone. Did you selfie with it? No. It's very hard to selfie with it.

I wasn't in a mood for a rainbow at that point. I heard you were hungry on the radio. I was starving, dude. Man, it's kind of a weird start time. It's a 245 start. And I ate lunch at 12 like most human beings. And by the time, 6.30, 7 o'clock rolled around or whatever time was. I was absolutely starving.

Yeah, I was pretty hungry, too. Yeah. And our food truck yesterday had a lot of different stuff that I didn't want to eat. So I didn't load up for lunch either like normal. I thought the racing there was good, though. There was a lot of, it's hard to pass at a short track, and then people get a little frustrated, and they start bumping the guy a little bit. I saw a little bit of that. I saw Clint have an exciting moment with Blaney there in the beginning, or at some point near the beginning of the race.

Yeah, that was pretty early. Yeah. Might have been the only exciting thing that happened. Well. I'll tell you what was cool for me, man. I don't ever recall going to a Martinsville race and seeing the guys run some of the lanes they were running. Eric Amarola was entering, you know, kind of like in the middle. staying in the middle and then on the exit he was sliding all the way up two

car wits and then just hammering the throttle so the way the rubber laid down and a lot of guys were able to run a lot of different lines I thought that was pretty cool yeah we moved around quite a bit and it was weird how it would move to you could get up high off of four and and run that grip or you could some guys were still able to make the bottom work really well like the the the real short tracker guys were still able to to get down there and make it work some guys would drive in low let the left front side up and hook that hook their rubber where it laid down and turned back off the corner.

There was a lot of different, and it made it hard to pass too. Yeah. Like guys that got up there weren't just done, you know, they could make something happen still. So I thought that was good. It was kind of like a multi-grove Martinsville. As a team, you guys are going to go to the next two races and try to win again. I get that. But as a spotter between now and Homestead, there's really nothing else left for you to learn.

I mean, you're going to go to Texas and do your job. You're going to go to Phoenix and do your job. But there's not anything you're going to learn between now and then. So what may like, what is your mindset going into these next two? I mean, obviously, you know, the pressure's off. Like the, you can afford to have something happen and not have to panic about it. You can, you're not worried. Honestly, you can, you can probably put the pressure on some other people to, you know, look, this guy's got nothing to lose right here.

Do I let him go? And it could put us in a better spot to, you know, to get another win. so yeah and uh but it definitely it was going to be a tough a tough few races for us point-wise and I think we could have been right there I think it's I think it's gonna be a really close race for that fourth spot yeah I don't think

the guy fourth in points gets in I don't think I think the guy fourth in points is gonna be out because I think somebody gonna win I just I mean I don't know we'll see that's the beauty of it we'll see yeah play out a lot's a lot's

We've had a lot of, you know, I'm not saying, you know, people didn't think we would run good, but we've had kind of some surprise winners, you know, show up here. And it's going to be interesting. Yeah. Congratulations. Good times. Do we have to talk about the bump and run now? I'm sure we will.

Yep. Spot on, spot off. First one, Lugano's bump and run on Truex to win in advance to Miami. I'm going to give this one to you, T.J. I mean, you know my answer. I mean, it, honestly, you know, there's, you don't ever want to be on the other, the receiving end of that. It's not, it's not fun. But you got to also look at the other side of it, you know, I'm not, I'm not, Martin's probably one of the cleanest, top three cleanest drivers that I've ever seen on the racetrack.

He's very, a very clean driver. You know, but you got to look at what the, does Martin go in there and maybe bump us in the middle of three and four? I would fully expect him to. And I'm not saying he needs to get on there. wreck people or wreck whoever's in front of them, but when you're racing for a spot to race for the championship and you're not guaranteed in, and you know it's

going to be a battle, the next two races, if you don't win that race, you have to take the opportunity, you know, and I'm fine with, I'm fine with rubbing and stuff like that. If you get out of there and just wreck the guy, I'm not a huge fan of that. But I think I think you've got to look at what's at stake

here. I mean, you want to go race for a championship and it was going to be it's going to be hard. Racing where we were at to get into that final four. Like you said, that fourth spot with the buffer some of them guys already had, it's like five guys, four guys racing for five guys racing for one spot. So, you know, I'm okay with it. I thought it was a great finish.

I think Joey did it as hard as he needed to do it. And as, you know, light as you could have done without wrecking somebody. I mean, we barely had enough room to get inside of him. And that's all you really need to do. And honestly, I wasn't even sure we were going to win off the corner yet. We were side by side. The 78 starts spinning his tires, I think, and that's what gave us a little bit of a run to get by him. And the 11 almost won that race because we were both spinning our tires going to the line.

So, I mean, it was a great exciting finish either way. No matter what cars were involved, I think it was an exciting finish. And that's what short track racing is to me. Spot off for Martin Truex's decision to pass Joey Logano. So, you know, Martin caught Joey. Back in the day, man, when you were running the plate races and the shotgun was in effect, you didn't want to be leading coming to the checker flag. You wanted to be running second because that guy could shotgun the leader, take the lead, and win the race.

And as we were watching this thing play out, it was really hard for me to spot. I'm getting ready to admit that because I watched the race for the lead. The crew chief texts me today and said, hey, what did we hit with our right front? And I was like, I don't know. I didn't see it. I was watching the race for the lead. So literally I see Martin catch Lugano and then I see him get under him and he gets under him, and then he gets back in line.

And this is with five to go. Then he does it with four to go. He moves him up in one and two, gets under him a three to go. And I'm like, the best place for Martin to be right now is second place. On the last lap, the last corner, you get aggressive, you move him, you win the race. Martin took the lead coming to the white. And I was like, uh, he took the lead off of two. Off two.

And I'm like, I think he's in trouble. I think he didn't really want the lead as bad as he thinks he does. And then I'm in my mind, I'm like, he's going to go into three. He's going to have to really break-check him. Hope Lugano doesn't wreck him because now you're not playing defense. You're literally at the mercy of the guy behind you who is in a must-win situation. Because as T.J. said, points are probably not going to be enough to get you in, potentially. So now you're watching this thing play out and sure is the world.

Lugano moves him, you know, to me, I mean, dude, how can you not say Joy did the right thing? I know Martin's mad, I'd be mad. I think, you know, T.J. or Martin are buddies. Have you talked to him yet? I haven't talked to him. Have you texted? No. I mean, I would have...

What are you going to say when you talk to him? I don't know. I mean, I would expect the same thing from him. I would have expected it. Like, and I'm not saying I'd be happy about it, but, man, I know what we're all racing for. When you saw that he cleared you going down that backstretch, did you think, all right, Joey, you got to do it right here? Or did you say anything? I didn't say anything.

I mean, Joey knows what's at stake, and we've, you know, we raced all day like that. We tried to make it as hard as we could. We were racing hard for one point at times of that race. Like, you kind of got to us one time. Couldn't quite get around us. And then we ended up finding a little speed and driving back away. But you're racing for one point right now is huge. Huge.

And a race wins even bigger than that. And if you can put yourself, if you're in position with one corner left to win that race and you don't completely destroy the other guy, Martin got second, third place points still. Yeah. And Martin's got a, Martin... He's got a big buffer. Yeah. I mean...

So all Martin has to do is go and be quiet in the next two races and finish single digits and he's probably going to be locked in, basically. I'll tell you what else he's got. He's got an attitude. He's probably pissed off. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, and honestly, that's probably more.

more dangerous, you know, if he can keep that attitude, that he's, you know, the bashing going to win it out right like that? That's a good attitude to have. But, I mean, if you put the shoe on the other foot, what's Martin do if he's in that situation? If he knows he's not points, you know, doesn't have that buffer, what's Martin do? Yeah. What's anybody do? What do you do? I do the same thing. I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't have done it any differently than racing the guy side by side off the corner. I would win at all cost. That's, that's kind of my thinking on it. I would win it all costs. Especially with like what three, two races. until the final four?

Dislocks you in the championship. You know, it puts you in the double. We're not very good at Phoenix either. It puts you in the multiple-win column. I mean, for me, that is the biggest win of Joey Lugano's career. Yes, I realize he has a Daytona 500, but I'm telling you, that particular win launches him into the opportunity to be a champion. So at this moment, that's the biggest win of his career for me, because that one can make you

a champion. All right, well, that will lead into our next one. Truex says Lugano won't win the championship. Well, then maybe it's not his biggest win. Hey, spot on for what Martin's saying. I mean, the thing is, though, man, if you're going to say it, you better back it up. Don't threaten me with a good time.

So if you're going to win the World War of Wards game, world of words game, like, man, don't say it if you ain't going to do it. Now everybody's going to sit here and go, oh, when you're going to get him? and then if you don't ever get him, then, well... We'll talk. But the rest of it, the next sentence was Martin said he's just going to win it. You know what I mean? He didn't say he was going to do anything to play.

Yeah, he just said he's going to win the championship and show everybody. So he's just saying he's motivated and he's going to win it. That's the way I took it. He didn't say it like... I'm going to wreck you. He didn't say he was going to wreck him. He just said, I'm going to win it. I'm going to win it.

Well, regardless, there you go. I mean, you still got to back it up. So now, obviously, it's kind of controversial because you don't know. some people have their opinion of Martin being in the right, Joey being right? Well, that tells me right there already that, like, Martin already knows that he's pretty comfortably locked in. Like, he's got a good shot already going to home. He's already planning on being a homestead. He's counting his chickens right here.

So that's what I'm saying. Like, he knows that he's got a, we didn't have, we, you don't have that, going into that race, we didn't have this buffer. We talked about this on the last week's show. Those guys had a big lead already. And they're relaxed about it. You know what I mean? And we weren't like that. Were you?

No. We're not like that at all. We're racing our tails all. Yeah, we're racing. Probably too hard at times. Yeah. Yeah. So that just tells you that the point systems could probably use a little work still

because there's two or three of them that are still just relaxed and know they're going there. It's all great for the sport. Yeah. What a great finish. What a great little whirl words? Like, what a great situation? Does NASCAR ever kind of jump in when there's kind of like a controversy there? I don't think so.

Do they usually like just talk it out or is it they let it go and? If NASCAR does, like what they see, they call both drivers into the hauler. And there have been punches thrown in that hauler before. You know, there have been multiple drivers that have been called into the hauler to talk it out. And, I mean, it can get heated, right? I mean, because these guys are being called in because they don't like each other and they're saying things about each other. Or they're doing things on the racetrack.

And Mike Kelton's in there who is about a 9 foot 9. So scary. He's a good new, man. He's awesome. Nice, but next, like, I used to stand next to him in an elevator because he used to work at NASCAR, and I'd be like, hi, like, it's so intimidating. He's like, what was that down there? He's here. And he plays that intimidating role in.

Yeah, but he's science. You know, he walks slow and he just looks at you, and you're like, oh, hey, Mike, what's up? Hey, Mike. You know, but that's what happens. They call you in and they bust your balls and then you go on with it. I don't think this carry is over. I think there's, uh, after the next race. once you start racing, you start getting refocus on what the real goal is.

And, you know, this was, this happened last year, but last year was, last year was a little more exciting than that. You know, it actually, it actually cost somebody at two people chances at the championship because of a wreck. Yeah, Denny and Chase. Yeah. I mean, there was actually contact guys not finishing. And that, you know, that's different.

Joy used up Martin. Joy will race Martin very, very nicely for the next. next two races to try to let Martin kind of have his way and help him get a point here and do whatever he does there. If Joey Lugano sees Martin Truex in his mirror, he will get out of the way. And he should because you don't want to keep making it worse and worse and worse. And then you get to Homestead and Martin not be in and you be in. And then Martin races you like a complete butthole. He doesn't have to wreck you.

He can just hang on your door, hang on your door. And all of a sudden the guy behind you catches you and makes you all three wide and passes. Both of you. There goes your championship. So Joy Lugano is going to spend the next two weeks, if given the opportunity, trying to put a Band-Aid over the discussion. And the other two guys are loving it. Oh, yeah. Because now they're just thinking about, now I only got to beat this one guy.

Let these two guys, they're probably going to try to fuel the fire at some point. Yeah. You know, and one of them's really good at that all the time. Harvick's good at the mind games. So he'll start saying something. You know, those two guys will try to get it going or whatever. But it was an exciting race. I love short track racing, so more short tracks.

Spot on, spot off. NASCAR president Steve Phelps said he has no idea what 2020 schedule will look like, DJ. You know a lot, I think Brett's probably spot off on this because he hates the unknown. To me, this tells me they are working on stuff. To me, that's spot on. To me, they're listening. This is the opportunity that we're going to have to what we've always said is mix it up now.

Now we've got some opportunity to change some things around. Maybe now they're looking at that stuff and maybe. there will be. Okay, maybe Homestead is not going to be the final race. Maybe we're going a couple road courses in the chase. Maybe we're going to Melbourne or maybe we're going to Surface Paradise. But, you know, I'm hoping for more short tracks and a little bit more of a mixed-up chase area where it doesn't cater to certain drivers more, especially at Homestead. It's ironic that this statement comes out because we just said on the show a week or two ago that we hear 2020 is going to be a potential big shake-up as far as the schedule and race-discipline. And

race distances and all kind of stuff, right? And then he comes out with a statement that says, he's the president of NASCAR. We're 14 months away from the 2020 schedule. And he says, I don't know. How can you not know? Are you lying? He knows.

There's talks. There's conversations. But he's just obviously not ready to talk about it yet. Well, then say, man, there's a lot of opportunity for us to really get creative in 2020 and have a great schedule for fans. I don't understand. Well, maybe he said that, and then the person that wrote the article just decided to take that part. Okay, Casey, so my job is to comment on what you said, and you said NASCAR Steve President, Steve Phelps,

said he has no idea what the 2020 schedule looks like. So if you're going to put words in his mouth, put them in your statement on a little sheet of paper. I'm telling you, based on what I read, how can this guy not know what 2020 looks like? Spot off. Spot on because obviously they're looking at things and trying to make it more interesting. can't wait for it. First of all, Mr. Jason made this script.

After Brett sent us the topic. Yes. I didn't see a topic. I've seen the article to read to make you smarter. The article does, I mean, they have conversations going on. That doesn't mean they have no idea

like they're not even trying. It means they're working on it. That there's potential to go to Gateway. There's potential to go to all these other tracks. So he didn't say we have no idea. He wasn't quoted in saying on. I'm asking you. I did not read the article, so I don't know.

It might have. It was more of a, we have no idea, meaning the opportunities are endless is the way I took it. Producer Josh over here doesn't know anything either. My name's Jason. Oh, my bad. hilarious. Sorry. I forgot.

Whatever. I think 2020 will be interesting. I'm curious to see if they shorten the schedule maybe. Oh, are you hinting? No, no, not hinting. I have no idea. I am selfishly hoping because I feel like. You have no idea either.

You should go work with Steve. It's the No idea club. No idea. I have no clue what's going on there. I just am of the belief that we have an opportunity to make us. I mean, you're making a statement about 2020, which isn't that far away. It's only 40 races until we're racing in 2020. And they usually announce the schedule pretty early.

But you have an opportunity to make a statement with some positivity and some opportunistic comments. I think that's coming. And you say I have no. But I think somebody. But now you've got to overcome the no idea. So it's worded wrong. Okay, it's worded wrong. But to me, that statement that you're saying it's coming down.

It's coming at times. When Elliot Sadler is in a situation as his manager, it is my job to sit him down and say, hey, you may get asked these questions. How are we going to respond? And then we talk about those responses. He knew, somebody knew, I hope somebody downtown in that office knew that this question might come because 2020 is close. And you have an opportunity here to say something really, really good.

And you just told me that he said he has no idea. When we know that he does have an idea. So, man, give us some momentum. Give us something to eat. Give us an appetizer. Don't tell us that the kitchen's closed. Do you hungry? Still hungry?

Still hungry. What did you eat? What did you eat? Thirsty. What did you eat when I got home last night? Oh, you waited until you got home? Yeah, dog. I didn't know what I'm trying to eat better.

So I wait until I got home. I got me a salad with a, with a grilled chicken with buffalo grilled chicken. Yeah, it was awesome. I actually had a buffalo chicken rat from the fresh market. That's good. I know. I got it the other day and it was still in there.

I'm like, thank God that thing's still in there. I love fresh market. I get that pineapple chicken salad thing. Yeah. They make a lot of fresh good stuff there. It's called a fresh market. Yeah, it's fresh. This is what I deal with weekly.

Your dad. What made y'all talk about food? TJ brought it up. Amen. Well, you said you were hungry. I said, I said, We wanted an appetizer and we got to all the kitchens closed. There's just a lot of restaurants on the way to the track, and I didn't know if he stopped and gas on.

It is. It is a subway. Man, I'm trying to eat bread like that, though. My doctor told me to only eat whole grain bread, that white bread is bad for you. It's a whole wheat. If you have grains in it, it's good. I mean, I still eat it. Well, you're skinny.

I'm fat. No, you're not. Here we go. Ally Financial to sponsor Jimmy Johnson full time starting in 2019. Spot on, spot off, Brett. Spot on. We needed some good sponsorship news. You know, I mean, you got the returning champion, Martin Truex, losing a big sponsor in five-hour.

You had Jimmy Johnson seven-time champion losing a long-time sponsor with Lowe's. We need a sponsorship. And what I was told is this is a GMAC kind of company. So basically they do auto financing. We all know Rick Hendrick owns a lot of automobile dealerships, one of the more successful people in that business in America. So this is great. news for our sport. Great news for Jimmy. This gives Jimmy the opportunity to go race for two more years through 2020, which I think is what his contracts through. And I think we all want to, it's a

great story every year if Jimmy Johnson is fast, that he's going for eight, the most championships in history. Obviously, Kevin Meandering coming out of the shop to go chase that with him. Kevin, I think was in Martinsville. I think I saw him running around there. So maybe he's trying to get a head start on that relationship and seeing what he can learn. And I don't think there's ever a bad thing when you see a sponsor is being added to our sport. Yeah, I don't, it's always a good thing. Spot on for them, multi-year deal. Big, you know, big name, big car.

Everything's good about that. Should be cool. Deer issues on the way to and from Martinsville. T.J., what happened? So on the way home, apparently in the morning reporter Bob Hawkers. Yeah, Bob Hawkers hits a deer. Who has great hair. He has great hair.

I do not. I need a haircut so bad. You actually need his hair. If you ain't got a perm, your hair would look kind of like his hair. He's got that natural locks, you know, the curls and stuff. You can't, that's natural. You can't mimic that. Maybe he used some great shampoo.

We should ask him. Yeah. Anyway, Bob smokes a beer. Yeah, Bob destroys one. And then on the way home, so I'm riding with a few other guys. And the car in front of us, this deer jumps the guard rail. in the median and lands as it's landing it gets nailed and there is parts flying bumpers flying off that car steam i mean it was it looked like it looked like everybody went

out of the corner of marisle and checked up and the fifth guy in line didn't get the message and it knocked everything out of the front end so uh there's debris flying everywhere um eddie did a eddie de hunt did a did a great job of um slaloming we all just screaming or we all just watching because he had two spotters in the car with him. Check up. I was in the back seat. I looked up and by that point I thought we were, there was so much swerving. I thought we were going off road.

Like I was already getting ready to, I was hanging on because there wasn't any spot and needed to be done at that point. It was going to be to drop the window net if you're all right type deal. So we make a third. The guy got off the road. No accidents happened behind it luckily. So, but yeah, it's, it was an interesting tense moment. spot on for the driver because the worst thing you can do is swerve to miss the deer

because then you can die. If you hit the deer, you're not going to die. The deer's going to die and your car's going to be total. Shoot the deer and the deer wouldn't have been running across the road. This is why we need deer hunters, Casey. No, no. The best thing you could do after you hit a deer is jump out, cut the backstrap out, go home and fry some deer meat.

That's the best thing can happen. I'm glad you're here to support this. We definitely need hunters to take the, if you hit a deer, you're going to be on this side. If we don't do this, there's going to be so many deer. We're going to be blasting deer all the time. But Bambi, they're so cute. They're so good to eat also. That's terrible.

Give me some. We'll cook some best deer. I'm not a big hunter, but I understand that there is a need to control it. And they're not close to being endangered. So here's the reality. Deer in rut this time of year. It starts getting cooler. they start wanting to reproduce, they start chasing females, everybody gets real dumb.

Sounds like the world right now. It's like a bunch of guys at midnight, right? So let me just tell y'all, when you're driving down these roads, man, you've got to be paying attention. But don't swerve to miss the deer and run off the road and hit a tree and hit a ditch and start flipping. If you can't successfully just barely move over and miss the deer, hit the damn deer. And if you don't have insurance, get some damn insurance. It's going to be worse if you swerve off the road Running 70 miles an hour

Running, I mean 50 mile an hour If you swear off the road and you start rolling over It's going to be worse than you center punching that deer Jason, have you ever been told to hit the deer? Yeah, you know. No, we grew up where I grew up there is deer all the place So you got up here. Hit the deer.

Sorry, bud. Hope you all right. Yeah. I've seen a deer literally jump over a car. Yeah, oh yeah, they can jump. Remember the wider is better Pontiac Grand Prix that came out and they had the Richard Petty edition? Oh, yeah.

This would have probably been like 94, maybe, 95. And I was following my buddy Jason, and we're driving down the road. We've been playing basketball. And a deer came out and jumped over his car. Because deer are crazy, man. They can jump. They can run. So, man, it was just hit the deer, people.

Don't hit the deer. Don't hit the deer. Jelly told us the story. Meyer told us story last night that a deer, a car hit a deer. And it jumped, and it went through the wind. windshield and through the windshield on the way in there it ended up breaking its back. So it was sitting in the pasture seat alive.

That's when you take your knife out and you stab. No, it wasn't moving. Like it could move. Like it was just sitting there looking around. Why would you want to do that? So what you want to accomplish? So Elliot's airport is in Emporia, Virginia, and we would used to have to come in and turn all the lights on at the airport,

which the pilots can do from the cockpit. And we would circle the airport to make sure there were no deer on the runway before we would land because hitting a deer with an airplane is completely different. different than hitting it with a call. Oh, my gosh. But we would literally come through there and make sure they were no deer this time of year. You know, because the thing is, all summer, they've had all the food they wanted. Now their food supply in the woods is starting to die out.

They're coming out. They're looking for food and they're looking for some other fun things to do. And then, bam, there they are. Stay in the forest. Y'all look out for deer out there. All right, let's take a break. This is your Exaltor Race Center update. I'm Matthew Dillner.

Sunday, the Cup Series provided fans with a barn burner at Virginia's Martinsville Speedway. Martin Truex Jr. and Joey Lugano battled door to door in the last handful of laps. The two made contact on the final corner and traded pain across the finish line with Ligano taking the dramatic win. The W locks the Connecticut native into the Final Four championship weekend in Miami. Kyle Busch's fourth place effort keeps him 21 points to the good on second place Martin Shurex Jr. In the playoff standings with Kevin Harvick and third. On Saturday, Johnny Sauter got out the broom and swept the stages and took the win in the truck series race at Martinsville. The dominating victory puts the 2016 series champion into the final four in homestead.

Saddle up. This week, all three of NASCAR's Big Three series gallop into Texas Motor Speedway for a Friday, Saturday, Sunday throwdown. This has been your Exalta Race Center update.

That's a goat. No, that's bad. Not ma'am. All right. Well, on that note, an article published last week discussed that there are no female spotters. Has there been a female spotters? Has there been a female spotter before in NASCAR, and how could a female rise to the role as a cup spotter?

DJ. There's been plenty, a handful of them. There's, honestly, there's almost been one every year, except for the last couple years. There's always been, how many do you think? Maybe four or five total? Like, I mean, that's... So I saw this article about the need for no for female spotters

and the fact that there are none, and I really appreciate this lady, first of all. for looking at our profession and admiring it. I would love to meet this lady at our next race. But there are a lot of female spotters. There have been a lot of female spotters at the cup level. Fortunately, whenever you came to the racetrack, this particular lady didn't see any females.

But we've had Donna LaPage on the roof as a cup spotter. We've had Mike Garvey, who no longer runs Cup, but a very accomplished, what, ASA racer? What was he good at? Hooters Cup. Mike Harvey was ASA. Yeah, so he was really good at that. He ran some cup races with us.

He had a female spotter. Denise. Yeah, Harmon. Denise Harmon, Mike Harmon's sister. Been up there a lot. Has been up there a long time. And she's spotted multiple series and has spotted.

Julie Stefannick, who is Mike Stefano's wife, spots for him. Could you imagine spotting for your husband? He's a nine-time touring series champion. You got Bubba Pollard, his sister spots for him. There's no way in hell I would let my sister ever spot for me. Kenzie Rustin, a former driver. She has spotted for Daniel Hemrick. So while I appreciate this lady's viewpoint of the article, there have been female spotters.

Maybe just not highlighted as much. And maybe she just didn't realize that. And I hope she'll listen to this show or somebody will point her in the direction of this show or send her this particular comments so she can realize that there have been female spotters. And there still will be. And I would love to have just me up there and 39 female spotters. That would be ideal. Monster girls turned spotters.

Ding. Maybe not that. ding on that one. Me and 39 monster girls spotting. That would be the best race ever. Mom would be so mad at you. I'm just saying. She'll be on the show every week.

I don't know this, but mom don't care anymore. Yes, he does. All right, that was the end of that topic. Yeah. We need to go to next one. Oh, right. The Racing Wives TV show on CMT released a trailer this week ahead of its debut in January.

Would you let your significant other be part of the show? Who's got to go first? You, thank God. Ain't no way in hell. I would let my wife, girlfriend, I don't know, whoever. No, hell no, I wouldn't let them do this show. I don't know what we're going to gain from this, man, because based on that promo that I saw,

it's a lot of big houses and private jets. And, man, I'm telling y'all right now, that's not what this industry is for the majority of, us. We're pretty normal people. Yeah, these drivers make a lot of money and those 20, 25 guys are very wealthy. They deserve it. They're putting their life on a line. They're garnering a lot of attention for corporate partners, man. But I don't, I would never want to take, what are they trying to accomplish? What are they trying to do? Monetize, be famous, I don't know. This is a very small group. Yeah, I mean, there's nothing wrong.

That's the way they want to be. I got nothing about it. But this isn't what it's like. this isn't what it's like majority of the time. I mean, this is not, like, it's just not what it is. Um, I don't know. It's just, would you let Tamla do it? No. No. Not.

Honestly, if it was a, if it was a group of, you know, of regular, just, I wouldn't care if it was, but not, like, this isn't, this isn't, this isn't the life. This isn't what. This isn't real world for most, for 99% of garage. Yes. This isn't real world for most of us. So, but I hope that's what, it's fine for them. They enjoy it. They have a lot of fun.

Sure. But this just isn't real world. Casey Hames. Chad Boat is a race car driver. Oh, you're about to be a driver's wife. You're about to be a driver's wife. Yep. If this show came to Casey Hames and Chad Boat and they said,

don't get ahead of me right here now. You got to listen to my question. She's shaking around. They came to you and Chad, and they said, Casey, we love you. You're beautiful. You would be an awesome TV personality. And then they look at Chad and they say, Chad, will you let Casey do it? What would his answer be?

So he would because if he were to tell me, like, I can't do something. I don't think that would work out. Let me rephrase it. I would tell you no. You damn, right. I'd tell you no. I'm sorry. I would tell you no.

But that's cool, man. That's cool. There's a way that, like, you can make sure that whatever is portrayed the way it is. I mean, that's a... So you're saying it's fake? No, I'm just saying, like, you can make sure if something happens while they're filming. Well, here's the thing. You're talking about editorial rights and you're talking about quality control.

But here's the thing, Casey, like, this has to go on TV and it has to be entertaining and it has to sell. Otherwise, it flops. So there's going to be some manufactured drama here. And I don't care what they do with this show. That's not my question. My question is, if I went to you and Chad and I made this case and I said, Chad, will you let Casey do it? What would Chad's answer be?

Ugh. I think he'd let me do it, but I don't know that I would do it because I'm just like I can't. So we'll just tweet him since you don't really give us a good clear. Yeah, I don't know. I never really asked him. Okay. We'll get back to us next week. Yeah.

We'll ask. I don't know if he'd love me or not. I wouldn't let Jovi do this show if I were her dad. Racing kids. Well, I am her dad. Racing kids would get great show. No, I'm not talking about racing kids. I'm saying later in life when she marries Andrew,

and she's 40 years old and I'm 65, and they come to her and go, Jovi, you're beautiful. We want you to do this show. Dad's going to call and say, no, you're not. You're not doing this show. This isn't for you. But I could be famous.

That's exactly, that's exactly right. You could be famous. She hit the nail on the head. Yep. Yep. Did you see the tweet from Amy Earnhardt and Chrissy Newman and Lerner. and little boy and said real racing wives. Yeah.

I was like, whoa. That's going to be the drama. Whoa. Well, here's the thing. The back story is they went to a lot of these people and asked them to do it. And they declined. And a lot of people said, no. So, anyway.

We should see TJ's face right now. So thrilled. Next. Ding. Legano entered Martinsville below the cutoff line and won to secure a spot in Homestead. Who among the four drivers below the cutoff line has the best shot to win Texas in advance? You've got Kurt Busch, Elliott, Boyer, and Almerola. T.J.

Man, you know, this is a tough one because Al Marola was, he's been pretty quick lately, but short tracks are kind of his area and he didn't really, I didn't see much. yesterday. So he's not going to be my pick. I think my pick is going to be Kurt. I think Kurt Busch. I look at this as track by track. And when I look at Texas, I think that probably of this guys on the list that Chase Elliott and Amarola have been the fastest at the mile and a halfs of the four guys on this list. So, you know, Amarola went out and had Dover pretty much won until a late caution, ran really well at Chicago, ran well at Kansas, obviously. So for me, I'd say Amarola or Chase Elliott could win Texas. And then Phoenix, we all know how good Kevin Harvick is, but he's not

on this list. So I got to say being teammates with Kevin, being one of Clint's favorite tracks, that that would be a place that Clint could win. Yeah, it's just going to, I know you know which guys are going to be fast to me. Kurt's been kind of sitting there. He's been consistently fast, consistently quiet too. He's also been quiet about what he's doing next year. And at some point, Yeah. That tends to bite you in the butt. But you know what, T.J., maybe him being quiet was a better play, because if we knew what he was going to do,

it might have already screwed him up. There's something to this because if he, there's obviously some factors that are waiting to be played out here because otherwise we would have an announcement. We would know, you know, people would start, you would just know things would start falling into place. But I think Kurt, you know, was kind of out to prove something a little bit still.

So I'm wrong with Kurt. Hi, Casey. Still your show, Run. I know. What are you doing on your phone? Ordering wedding invitations? I mean, that should be.

What was it? I was making, sorry, I was making sure there was nothing you wanted to add. You just kind of like cut it off. He didn't cut it off. You were reading something on your phone. Yeah, what was that you had up there? You were asking Chad about this show.

You were asking Chad Bowd if you could be added to this show, the real racing wives starting next year. I don't know if he'd say yes or not. Season two. ask, let's text him and ask him since you're playing on your phone anyway. Yeah. Off the wall topic. He sounds like a teacher.

With Halloween this week, what are some of your favorite Halloween memories as a kid? And second question, what are you dressing up as? Well, I think we just heard that Brett's going to be Mario. Yeah, Bodie, my little boy, always gets to pick what I am. And last year, he made me be robbing. So he was the Lego Batman, which I thought he looked awesome, and I was robbing. And last night I came home, and he had bought me a, uh, the Mario and Luigi suit.

So I'm Mario and he's Luigi and he looks super cute and I look super fat. So favorite Halloween memories, man, I actually have a special needs cousin named Lydia Kiker. And Lydia was a lot older than I am. And, you know, as I kind of got to Jovey's age, 10, 11, 12 and kind of got out of Halloween, Lydia would still get really super excited even though she was older. So I would always dress up and we'd go get in my sister's car and ride around my cousin Lou and go trick-or-treating with Lydia. man that was uh that's definitely my favorite Halloween memories I'm

showing that I have a soft side right now I feel vulnerable I think the um the girls are going to be the Incredibles but I however do not have an Incredibles outfit why so I got a couple days yeah good luck

what we normally do is take Stella for a little bit and show I have to go back early obviously and then me and Malin we go to the neighborhood next door we got some friends over there and there's it's literally a house It's a block party basically in the whole development. That's fun. Yeah, it's a pretty good time.

And kids can get a lot of candy, so I'll take Malin and we'll walk the whole thing. Yeah. But it's pretty fun. Joby's Halloween, your favorite holiday? I absolutely hate Halloween. Why? Because there's no reason to celebrate it. It's terrible.

It's boring. And you just walk around the whole time. Are you not dressing up? Well, I am. I'm putting on like a Wednesday that I got last year for Christmas, and I'll be in. I'm being a deer. Do you not like candy? No, I like candy, but I don't like Halloween.

She's an old soul. It's scary. She's wimpy. I know. You sound like a grandma. She is a grandma. She's an 11-year-old grandma. I am not a grandma.

Last time I checked, I'm 11 years old. You are. Going on 65. You're 11. She's going to, so our neighborhood does it up really fun, though, right? Yeah. Our neighborhood's fun.

So last year, there's like a little haunted trail that they do, and it's in between houses, and we're walking in these two boys who were in teen. They're probably teenagers, right? But they're dressed in this really cool, leafy camo, and they're laid on the ground. I didn't see. them. And they would jump out and they would scare you. And it was a scariest thing.

It was pretty cool. I almost punched them in a mouth. Like, scared to get out of me. So, I mean, it's, uh, but our neighborhood, man, it's fun. Like, you'll go trick-or-treating and you'll get to a house and they might have wine. They'll give the kids. They'll give the kids tic-tacks or something, whatever kids eat these days. And then they'll give the adult some wine.

So I like that kind of trick-or-treat. I like that kind of trick-or-treating for sure. What are you dressing up as Jason? I don't do Halloween. I don't really like it either. Oh, gosh. Really? agrees with me.

There has to be like a college party or something. It probably is. So you're not dressing up? I don't like Halloween. You're not going to a college Halloween party? I'm not, I hate Halloween. I've never liked Halloween. You are a disgrace.

I'm sorry. You are. I've watched Focus Pocus like five times already. That might be the worst thing I've ever heard. I'm sorry. It's never been a fan. Have you not seen what these parties look like? Yeah, I've seen plenty of Snapchats this week from Halloween parties.

Yeah, so. I'll tell you next week. So, send us some pictures from my Halloween party. Geez, Jason. Go for them, apparently. You're only going to have this opportunity one time. I know, man. And it's Wednesday.

Yeah. I mean, he's still in college for what? What are you going to be, Casey? So Chad's family dresses up. They have a theme every year. Two years ago, it was superheroes, and they all dressed up in different superheroes. Last year, it was Disney characters,

and I was Jasmine and Chad was Aladdin. Okay. This year... He looks like a rug, right? Yeah. I like that. Did he have a lamp? Yes, we did have a lamp.

Did you rub it? I don't really know if I should take that appropriately. I did. I'm just saying to that. Did it give you wishes? I mean, that's what happens when you rub the lamp. Yes. A genie comes out.

Hello. It gives you three wishes. The genie is the coolest character there is in the story. This is true. We did have a lamp. This year, we are doing... our decade, we're doing decades. So each group of Chad's family has a different decade. And we are the 70s. Oh. So just stay tuned for pictures. So you are going to the Woodstock. That was the 70s, right? Yeah, peace and stuff. You're going to have bell bottoms. Yep. Yeah. So they just like,

10 of y'all get together or do y'all go somewhere? Oh, yeah. It's Chad's family. So like he has nephews that they're really small. So they love Halloween. Yeah. And so every like, I think, Chad's three sisters, they all have a different decade with their significant others and nephews. And then Chad's parents dress up. So it's like a bit like they love Halloween. They're always decorated. The neighborhood's actually pretty fun. His sisters are pretty cute.

Yeah. Soccer player. That's your sister. That's my sister. Yeah. So I have this Halloween. Did I tell you I got this? Huh.

I got this mat. This like clown that has has a hand up like this and it sucks and your window and you can't tell. And he's going like that. and he has a, his hands up here and his finger has a little like plastic point on it and it's motion censored. And when you walk in and turn the light on it goes, and it taps on the window. And, uh, yeah, it's, that's cool. So I set it up last try, I bought it off Amazon. The Tamelo, I killed you.

Yeah, oh, she was not happy. So, uh, I'm actually getting ready to set it up here real soon. You should honestly set it up at the shop or something. Like, that would be a really good prank. It has, like, you put it out. outside on a door. And seriously, it looks like you can't see. And it has like a, you can see the top of it's like draped down a little bit.

And it looks like a purse. And it's just sitting there and it's a side, like a real head. It's like, tic, tick, tick. And you're just like, oh my gosh. Yeah. I love Holly. Yeah. Love it.

I might not be alive next week. Probably not. You know what I realized is every freaking holiday that they make is made to sell candy. Of course. Valentine's Day. Let's sell some candy. Easter. Christmas is present.

Yes. Let's sell some more candy. Halloween. Let's really sell some candy. Like every freaking holiday is candy fest. Except Thanksgiving. Well, then you sell turkey. Just food. That's the only time of the year people buy turkey.

Christmas is more presents. Nobody buys a turkey all year until Thanksgiving. Everybody buys turkey. I love Thanksgiving. I don't like turkey. Really? Mm-hmm. Oh, it's so good.

Oh, Turkey is good, yeah. I used to want to have a Thanksgiving feast for my birthday. I love Thanksgiving. I love my mama's dress. My mama makes the best dress. It's so good. You're making me hungry. It's so good.

I'll be at the racetrack for Thanksgiving, so eat a corn dog again. It's usually how it works now. That's awesome. So it's similar to this. Oh, that's scary. It actually has a finger that taps on the window. Like it moves.

Until the eyes move? Or like, how does it? I don't think the eyes move. It just has a little. Motion something. Yeah, and when it hears it. Amazon Smart Plug. I thought that said something else plug for a

Keep going. This show's rolling, Casey. Okay, well, Asked VeeC. First question, A. Bower 94. Was Brad sandbagging or was Joey defending that well? Which part? This was coming to the finish, I think, when Brad caught Joey really quick and then stayed behind them. I think the 78 was a little better right then. And I think we held Brad off long enough.

And then Brad has handsful with the 78. I think the 78 was the fastest car at the very end. Yeah. Brad ran you down from a straightaway back. Oh, yeah. And then he caught you and then he couldn't do anything with you. Yeah. He even told us that it was really hard for him to pass.

And it was. I mean, that's how it is. A tire was hard. Yeah. 78 was fast at the end. And I think once he got, you know, got by Brad, it was, you know, game on with 78. So Brad obviously got one, he did pass us before that, you know, was 60, 70 to go, something like that. He passed us.

And he was gone. He was checked out. So I don't think Brad Sandbad. I think things just worked out proactively to give us an opportunity to win. Knight Farmer 111 asks, was based on the penalties that Matt Kenseth got for retaliating, is it in Martin's best interest not to retaliate? TJ?

I mean, Martin's pretty comfortably in the chase still right now. Martin goes and has two quiet weekends. Martin's racing a homestead for the championship, and I think most of us are expecting to do that, minus something crazy happening, which could happen and it could change things. But right now, the last thing Martin wants to do is to get into a battle with somebody

and take each other out of the... You don't want to... We're basically making it a two-car championship instead of a four-car championship. I don't think... Obviously, they get in people's faces right after the race and the heat of the moment stuff. You know, we went across the line side-by-side racing for the win.

I don't know how... I don't think that's something... Yeah, I mean, is he going to... Is he going to race Joey hard? And is it going to be probably in our best interest to take care of the next two weeks? Probably. But, you know, I don't see it getting into a huge, I got to wreck you now. The penalty that Matt Kenseth had handed down the two-race suspension was the dumbest penalty I've seen in NASCAR history.

I don't disagree with a penalty more than I disagree with that one. That was Matt Kenseth was mad. His day was over. His race was over. and he got the race at Kansas taken from him by Joey Lugano and Matt retaliated in a very bad way. We all agree that it was bad, but it also was great for the sport. And, I mean, that place went nuts that day when he drove him off into turn one and wrecked his race car. And then Brian France suspended Matt Kenseth for two weeks.

But guess what? We don't see that happen anymore because the guy with a torn up race car now is done. He doesn't get an opportunity to come back out there and do that because of the new rules that we have with a six-minute clock VDP, I think is what they call it. So I don't think we're going to see Martin. I don't see Martin Truex ever retaliating in a big way. I really don't. I think Martin sits on this this week, realizes it has to get back.

Martin Truex has to worry about Martin Truex. If he's worrying about Joey Legano when he gets to Texas, he won't see Homestead. He's got to worry about Martin Truex. And I think by Wednesday or Thursday this week, maybe even already has, he'll realize that. Yeah, and I mean, I disagree with the penalty on your part there. I don't think we can have guys. I'm fine with racing hard, but what stemmed that at Martinsville with Matt and Joey before was Joey was trying to pass Matt.

Matt actually ran him into the wall a couple times trying to hold him off. And what do you do if that's you? You know, Joey finally had enough of it. He ran him into the wall twice, and Matt was pretty much saying, I'm going to do whatever it takes to get this win and lock. myself in, well, we had another guy saying, you've ran me into the wall twice here. I've had position on you. You've ran me into the wall twice, and I'm not going to take it anymore. To me, they would have done the same thing to each other? Would have Matt just been like, okay,

you're going to win now. I've tried to get around. You run me into the wall. You can win. No, that's not how it goes. They're both paid to win races. And I don't mind Matt making it really difficult on Joey, setting him up the track. I don't mind him racing him hard for the next, whatever amount of races it is. But to, I don't, I don't. don't ever want to get into a part of the sport where we're just all destroying our cars taking each other out because of a because of that to me that's these guys work too many hours they work too hard on the cars and you know you never know what can happen an accident it doesn't take it doesn't take but one accident to give a guy a concussion or something they can sit they can

park him or or hurt him long term affect him long term so i don't mind him making it hard bump him shoot him up the racetrack whatever you got to do you feel but just pile of driving our cars into each other. And even at Martin, you can hit hard at Martinsville. Martin'sville, you're still going fast and they still hit hard. So to just do that and, you know, I don't agree with that. Jay Reckless asks, this is for Brett. Did you cry when you saw Timmy Hill on fire?

Timmy Hill, our guy. He tweeted me this morning. He's on the show every week. He tweeted me. He said, thanks for giving me the bottom yesterday when I caught Clint, holl. Oh, that's nice. Yeah, I think he, uh, I think we're bad. buddies, man. You know, the first thing I struggle with was watching him have that jack-off

moment with Pit Road where he had the jack under his car. Did y'all see that? I did. So I was like, man, this is great. Here's his 15 minutes of fame. And then he won up to it by catching on fire. Like when you think about these words, Timmy Hill is on fire. Literally. I'm glad he's all right. He carved out with a lot of athleticism. Oh, yeah. Like, I've never seen somebody that skinny move that fast. That was cool. He got out about as fast as winter showed up. It went from 70 to 40 in like three days. Yeah. We are glad he's okay. And I'm so sorry. I'm sure you're hearing up there. I really feel like Timmy should sit in here one time. Timmy here. We need to bring the guy in the show one day. Yeah. Sure. I'm not here next Monday. We talk about him every day, every show. This is true.

I don't know why he just keeps coming up, you know? Apparently he was thinking you for the bottom. I mean, that's nice of you to do that. The cool thing about my. Margeville, man. I headed out of the truck. Are you scared of him? Is that way you told Clint to move? Clint, let this guy go. Hey, this guy's nine laps down.

Please let him go. Clint, I don't want this guy to push me in the face. Let him go. And I guess Lloyd spots for him because Lloyd threw his hands up by me. And I'm like, who do you even spot for? And I'm thinking, I guess he spots for the 66. And I'm thinking, man, you got a clue what day it even is. Your race is complete.

Yeah. You let Timmy go on the bottom and got the, got the thank you, said no from the spotter. Yeah. That was nice. You can't absolutely hate Timmy Hill one day and be like best friends with him the next. Timmy Hill. That's not how it works. Timmy's our buddy.

Timmy Hill. He might come trigger-treating with us. You should dress up like Timmy Hill. I should, but I'm fat. It's hard to be, it's hard to pull off skinny. Yeah. There ain't really is. There ain't a skinny costume, Casey.

That's what we need to invent is a skinny costume. Then I can wear that all the time. Ooh, they make like these like little skin tight thing. Spinks. Just wear spinks. Spinks. Spinks. I'm sure that'd be comfortable.

Yeah. He spanks, all right. Anything you guys want to rant about? You on your phone over there, not paying attention. I'm sorry. Speaking of on the phone. Yeah, you're on your phone too. Yeah, but I'm paying attention.

I was paying attention. I was learning to talk. You were not paying attention. Was she paying attention? Am I in school right now? Yes. No, it's a teacher's day. You don't have school today.

It's a teacher work day. Thank you. Are you going to Texas? I'm not going to Texas. I thought it was, but I don't have to go any. anymore. Wow. Surprise.

Phoenix? Not Phoenix either. So just homestead for you. Yep. I'll have to do, we do a site checks and things for events we have coming up. But otherwise, not too bad. And they go to Miami like way early. Are you working on the banquet already too, all that stuff?

Oh, yeah. Banquet, champ tour, going to Universal Studios. Triple header weekends the rest of the year for NASCAR. So if you're a race fan, man, this is a great time. What a great time to be a sports fan. You know, baseball just ended. NBA's fired up. Hockey's fired up.

NFL's on. We've got triple duty the next three weeks. I'm curious to see what Phoenix looks like now. People should be able to quit their jobs the next three weeks and just watch sports. Take the rest of the month off. Yeah, Christmas should be now instead of in December. I know the city of Buffalo will all be off tomorrow if they'd be the Patriots tonight. But that won't happen.

Oh, yeah. Come out. Yeah. Just go ahead and retire Tom Brady so you can join right back down to the level with everybody else. Yeah, Tom Brady could be your quarterback and y'all still couldn't win. He is the biggest bandwagon guy. No, I've always liked Boston teams. I just have no association with him.

You just like them because they're good. No, my grandparents were from there raised on Boston teams. You were born when they signed Tom Brady. So you've always liked Boston teams. Yeah. Ever since. I just happened to get born in the right time. Jason is the only 20-year-old person that I know in America that's going to skip college Halloween parties.

Your assignment is to give TJ and I three really good text of your favorite Halloween costumes. They better be girls. Send them straight to us. Make sure they're all guys. Don't Snapchat. Just text them. Text them.

I'll Instagram message you. And make sure. Put in the GertMe check. We're supposed to teach Brett and teach how he's Instagram. Dillner wants them to share our stuff. Yeah, I share it. You guys are supposed to. But you can share stuff.

I don't even know if you know how to work Instagram. I don't look at Instagram. Can you teach him? No. I'm not allowed to be on Instagram. Snapchat or any social media. I just have Pinterest. That's it.

What is wrong with you? Holy cow. She is 65 years old. No, it's not my fault now. Can you admit? Are you a hovering parent? I'm a helicoptered out. No, I'm not a hovering parent.

I'm a responsible parent that realizes the dangers of social media in today's world for kids her age. Until she gets a fake one and she doesn't find your back. There's predators and, oh yeah, she knows what will happen then. This is not, uh-huh. That ain't how it happens in my house. There are predators out there and there are kids or age out there that don't have parents that have any common sense. we don't play in that little platform. It's probably on private.

Like you can have it where nobody can look at it, except for your friends who you let follow you. Guess what? Yeah. You're not getting that either. You know what you're setting yourself up for? She's going to go retaliate. There's going to come a day when she can't have all this.

She's going to be able to look at this dad. At 18, she can do whatever she wants. As long as you will have a boyfriend, that's a bad day. That's a bad day for you. It's going to be a bad day. It might. You're going zero to 100. Real quick.

Real fast. Real quick. Yeah. Chevy knows I love her and I look out for, don't I? Mm. It depends what it is. Sometimes you will and sometimes you will. Oh, interesting.

All right. It's been a good show. Congratulations to T.J. again last week's winter. Good luck in Homestead, man. I hope I get to join you. It's going to be a hard road for us. But we're up for the challenge, man. Just got to make fast cars go fast.
