Brad Kislauski stirred up controversy after turning William Byron to start the weekend in practice. Ross Chastain and Brett won Friday's Xfinity race, so we'll hear tons about that celebration. Contact between Clint Boyer and Austin Dillon triggered the infamous big one, and Justin Haley miraculously won the rain-shortened cup race.

Door bumper clear starts right now. Get ready. Be ready. Be ready. Be ready. New leader. Watch out for this guy. White flag. Black. Hello.

Clear. Bring home. Three light. Coming to the line. George. Bumper. Clear. Hey, everybody.

I am T.J. Majors. Spotter of the 22 cup car, 9-09 truck. And watch out for this guy next to me. Spotter, Brett Griffin. Spotted for race-winning Ross Chastain. and Clint Boyer, who was in position to potentially win the race up until he wasn't in contention anymore. Casey? Hi, guys.

I'm Casey. What's up? Welcome back to your third show over the year. Hey, girl. Okay. I was any wedding photos this morning? I missed two. I didn't have time because I was at the office, but don't you worry.

I thought about it. All right, there is zero doubt in my mind that it crossed your mind. I would just like to say that more people stood with me and said to keep posting Because you're hot. That's the only reason. It was all guys taking your side because you're hot. All the females were like, yeah, it's kind of dumb. I would like to call, that is such a lie.

All the females took my side. I'd like to give a shout out to Megan Craft because she had a great point when she tweeted back at you and said, what would have happened if I was wearing a bikini on my wedding day? Would you still be saying not to post any more wedding photos? I get to see all the bikini pictures from your vacation that you're still tweeting about. So I'm, yeah.

When did I post it on my vacation? When I was on vacation. Four seasons. Look at me. When I was on vacation. This is my tan line. Look at me. You guys suck.

Okay. I'm just kidding. You were on my side. You texted me on my side. I said, hey, that's cool. You should post more. Thank you. All the women.

I was trying to get inside up. And all the men took your side. I don't think that's true. That's how it happened. I saw it. I got a tally. Were you drunk when you tallied them? Probably.

Probably buzzed. All right. Well, there you go then. There you go. So how was Daytona? It was hot and it was wet. Moist, moist, moist. A lot of moist racetrack.

Extremely humid. Sounds like Florida. Yeah. Florida's a moist state. The grilled oysters and oyster pub are still very good. Don't eat seafood. The best. Who, why, how do you not eat seafood?

I'm from Buffalo. So? You all have a lake right there with fish in it. Yeah, fish. Like, that's not sea, not really. That is. It is. It's still fish.

It's not the same. That is not the same. What was the last time you had a lake Erie shrimp? You don't eat any seafood at all? No. I mean, I don't mind shrimp. Scallops? Nope.

Lobster. I'm hungry. I will eat probably shrimp and lobster. So that's shellfish. All right now. Tuna. Are we going on a line? Fish sticks.

Salmon? Fish sticks. Salmon. Fish sticks buried in ketchup. No salmon. No. Fish tis. Calapia or whatever they call that.

I don't know this for a fact, but I'm guessing that fish sticks is the equivalent to like baloney. It's all the crap off the fish that nobody wants to eat that they process together and then drop it in a friar. That was, uh, I haven't had fish sticks since I was probably, um, 10, but yeah, I mean, it says fish, so. It counts, right? What? Did y'all see that? It's not a seafood. Donor just crawled across the floor. He's a team player. He is. He's sacrificing his body for the show. He does not want to be in the shot, so he's army crawling across the floor. Yeah. Good job, donor. You're learning to walk. Good boy, buddy. You see that picture that Dillner put in the group me last week, the guy that was working behind us while we were doing the podcast?

He was really getting deep inside the car. He had the plumber dress code going. Oh. Yeah. Do you wear your plumber pants a lot? You do. I figured you did. Most guys know what plumber dress code is, right?

Wear half your cracks showing. Yeah. I would say. I don't know why I didn't just tweet the picture instead of just putting it in our group me. It's a lot. Just put it out there for everybody. That guy had a great butt. Crack is bad.

Crack is bad. I think for the sake of everyone else, he did not. Yeah. I mean, I'm with you on that one. But now Daytona was... What'd you do during the Xfinity race? I was there until it got delayed for a long time. And then just watched it on TV.

Yeah. I was going to go up to the roof and watch the beginning of it, you know, first couple stages or something, see how it went. But, you know, once again, is delayed so long. We had a couple other people riding with us too. How thrilled were you to get to get up on the morning of July 4th and fly down to Daytona just to practice? I mean, I know this stuff cycles, and I know it cycles one day every year, and, you know, it'll slide back around. Obviously,

we're not going back there in July ever, or in the upcoming schedule. I don't know if Indie will be much better. It's just different. You know, I've seen, I'm kind of torn. I'm, I'm kind of torn. like I'm kind of excited for Daytona to be a cutoff race kind of that's going to be wild it's going to be nuts um action packed tents um people are going to be there's going to be a lot of emotion that weekend yeah somebody's going to end up being really mad um no different than normal but just fourth of july and Daytona just seems to fit with me i mean it's just it's a perfect match you know it's just fun seeing all the fireworks on the beach there's tons of people there um it's just fun like i like i like we talked about on the last show. We used to have that week off before, which is probably great.

We don't anymore. But that like set up to a, you know, that led into a great Fourth of July week. But yeah, it's just cool. I mean, I like being down there during the fireworks and, but where were all these fireworks you speak of? I didn't see the track shoot any off. They shoot any off yesterday after the cup race? It was, the victory lane was inside. The lightning was the fireworks. Yeah. I don't think they were allowed to do fireworks. So the Xfinity race was called the Firecracker 250. I was driving the Victory Lane, but did they shoot fireworks then? You know what they should have done?

Light off. I don't think they shot any fireworks all weekend. They should have lit off 250,000 firecrackers. Why didn't they have a July 4th fireworks show at the racetrack or something? Because there was one two miles away on the beach. You got to give the fans a reason to want to be at the track, and our practice sessions aren't doing it. I think it's... My thing is, if we're going to go down there on July 4th, then give the fans a reason to be at the racetrack, and we didn't do that on July 4th.

I don't know. So therefore, I tell you what, fly is in on July 5th and let us to... do what we were going to do on July 4th, and we can have a night day at home. Yeah, I mean, I normally, you assumed they would be there. I don't know. If I'd have been over that schedule, it would have been different, but I'm not over the schedule. Yeah, I mean, it could have been, it was supposed to be a pretty compact schedule. We do a lot of two-day shows, and Xfinity does a lot of one-day shows, you know.

Somebody is going to complain if they shorten it up or something. Like, we don't need all that practice. We don't really use it. You're single car running. I mean, we used all of it that we could. So do you think that they? made the schedule the way it was because they were hoping fans would be at the track on July 4th? I don't know what they were thinking on July 4th, but we didn't have a band play in, we didn't

have fireworks going off, and look, if the beaches got their firework thing going off, great. Do years three hours before it. I mean, it gets darker. Two hours after, I don't care. I think there's a huge opportunity to have some sort of, they had a music festival there before, I think. Oh, for sure. Yeah. I think there was a golden opportunity there that weekend there. to have some sort of concert in the infield, if you're not going to have a lot of practice that day or you're just qualifying and racing,

why not have some concerts leading up to the race a handful of daytime concerts, then the race that night, you know? The thing is, we practiced during the day from one to five. Yeah. All right, I don't know if y'all know this, but we were planning on night racing. So we could have practiced that night from six to nine

and accomplished the same thing and had bands playing all day. but if we're going to practice one to five, give the fans something to do after that. I mean, have a party. It's July the 4th for crying out loud. People want a reason to celebrate America, and we didn't give them a reason.

That's all I'm saying. I'm surprised that you weren't complaining about the fact that Friday you didn't really have a ton going on. Friday, you know, Friday, it was a frustrating day for my race team because we had a really fast car, and we had to start 16th because we didn't get a chance to qualify because we couldn't do tech because of lightning in the area. So that, that was a really fast car.

was frustrating for me, obviously, on that front. And then Ross, obviously, you know, they were able to qualify in race. But, I mean, there again, you got fans at the track all day, and, man, there wasn't a whole lot going on. I don't know. It just seemed like Daytona was more quiet than I've ever seen it. And if it's the last July 4th race, we're potentially ever going to run there, man, celebrate how many great July 4th weekends you've had. Have every freaking July winter that's still alive down there, like, do something fun around that. And maybe it's a budget, issue. I don't know. I mean, Chip Wilde is a creative guy. You know, he did some great things at Darlington. And they just spent $400 million, I think, on that place, something crazy. Like, let's throw a

damn party. It's July the fourth people. Next time you plan it. Here's the real thing. It should be a festival. Here's the real thing. Those cup drivers on Friday, all they had to do was run one lap, which ended up getting canceled, but that's all that was on their schedule. You could have had all those guys out Thursday night somewhere and had, like TJ said, a big festival. like it could have been big. Well, Talladega does like that driver thing where they get them on that. Boulevard. Yeah, like something like that.

Yeah. They could have done something big with all those cup drivers. Because those cut drivers, they didn't have anything to do for that. I know it's hard. It's hard to get a lot of these guys to commit to stuff like that. But if there's someone that can do it, Chip would probably be a good guy to do it. I don't think we have it on the list here to talk about the lightning at all, do we? Probably.

Wow. What do you think? What are we talking about? Because I got a lot of... The 30 minute? Is that what we're talking about? Well, some of these people say it's ridiculous, you know, that we have to wait 30 minutes when there's a lightning strike.

Within eight miles, I believe, is the radius. Yes, eight miles. You know, they take a lot of backlash saying it's unsafe or it's, I don't know. People wanted to go. I don't recall a lightning policy really being in place until we had the tragedy at Pocono happened. You know, a guy was killed outside of turn three there during the middle of a terrible thunderstorm. And the reality is people are like, oh, man, I wasn't told a,

get somewhere safe. Well, duh, it's lightning. Whatever, not my problem, right? So with that said, we need a lightning policy in place, you know? But at the same time, is it eight miles? Is it 10 miles? You know, we're hearing eight miles now, right? So if it's eight miles and it's a 30-minute strike and it strikes on the edge and the

storm is going away from you, 30 minutes seems excessive. Like, can't we have, and I don't know if it's an insurance policy thing or what, but can't we have some common sense and go, hey, the storms have been away from us, this time it's only 20. Like let's be let's let's factor that into it. But I mean, look, we have to have a policy. I don't want to be on the roof with that lightning. Mike Herman really doesn't want to be on the roof without lightning.

He gets super scared. Yeah, I don't. I was getting, I had a couple tweets written that I didn't tweet at the end of it. But there was people giving backlash about saying, hey, there was, you know, that lightning was eight miles away. It's perfectly safe or it's fine. You guys can go ahead. And there never, for however many years, we didn't have a lightning policy.

There's no big deal. We're on a roof. I've got kids that I'd like to see again. I don't want a chance this to be out there. And it's not safe for the fans. So I did a little research too on Lightning, and Lightning does, can reach up to 8 to 10 miles. You know, 8 miles, I think, is kind of the cutoff

where how far it can reach. You never know where that's going to happen. Nobody has any idea where Lightning is going to strike and when. So there's the pop-up, a pop-up storm could be four miles on the track and then all of a sudden, you know, no lightning, then all of a sudden everything's great than lightning right there. It could be even close. I mean, you just can't predict this stuff. I know what you're saying about a clock, but it could, something could form right there. We got to have a policy, but I mean, look, it's just like we talked about on one of the shows last year, a couple years ago.

When things start going haywire with the weather, we typically get no information, right, in terms of, hey, this is what we're doing. This is when the next update's coming. It's more of a everybody sits around and we all just start guessing what's going to happen based on our experiences with NASCAR and with the tracks. So we know Daytona takes two hours to two and a half hours to dry. We don't know if the lightening policy is eight miles or ten miles. I don't personally care either way, but say what it is, right? If it's 30 minutes every time, say it's 30 minutes. Every time another strike hits, hey, it's another 30 minutes. Hey, it's extended. The more information you give everybody in today's world, don't work. They were doing that. confident the consumer is.

So I just think drive information, you know, it just, when it starts raining, tell us, I mean, we were sitting around there Friday night, we're like, man, are they going to call this thing? Are we going to race? Yeah. Like, say at 10 o'clock or 8 o'clock, you don't get. I'm making a, we're making a decision at 8 o'clock fans because a lot of fans leave thinking they're going to call it.

They get more people. We make our own time limits up too. We know that we know that any place, you probably say an hour, hour of 45 to be safe. to dry a track just on a great, great day, you know. But we know that once it stops raining, an hour and a half, you better be on that roof just to be ready. I left the track Friday night. I literally, I was like, man, we're right here at the end of the window

of if it doesn't stop raining, they're going to have to call this race because I don't think we'll go green much after 10 o'clock. So I packed up my little stuff off. I drove back to the beach. I got to the steak and shake right there on Nova Road. It stopped raining. And I was like, uh-oh, maybe it's going to stop raining. And then you pull up your radar on your phone, and it's just like in the last 15 minutes, everything's drying up.

So I turn back around. And that's how Daytona is, though. Like, in NASCAR's defense, it grows and then it shrinks. It'll pop up out of nowhere. It'll disappear out of nowhere. Well, my point is, if I left, how many fans left thinking we weren't going to race? A lot. Tell the people at 8 o'clock we're making a decision or something because we're losing people and fans and TV audience because, I mean, I had a friend and went to bed.

I didn't think you guys are going to race. But then people are going to complain where if it's 8.15 and it's, and it's, you guys are going to race. 815 and it clears up. People are going to complain no matter what. There's people thinking we should have sat around there later last night. There's so much more to making us sit there and wait. That's people getting hotel rooms for entire race teams that need to find hotel rooms again. Because our rooms, they got to put everybody up again.

There's so many moving pieces. It's not just, hey, quit raining. Let's race now. You have to plan ahead. We have to have somewhere to go and sleep. and we need to like especially trying to find a hotel in Daytona on July 4th weekend

there's so much more to all this and you know and Daytona is a tough track to deal with weather at I mean it's it's really hard Homestead's the same way Homestead you see storms off in the distance quite frequently there

but I thought NASCAR did a good job it'd be nice to know like you said a time limit like hey just communicate yeah hey by the way we're not going to start the race after 10 o'clock We need to be drying by 815.

If we're not, we're probably done. Unless there is a window that pops, it looks like it's, you know, get it going away quickly. Why you got to do us at 815? We're going to make a statement. Yeah. Just communicate. I mean, we're all. Well, then you know what you're waiting for.

We're spoiled because we live in this information world with social media and everything, you know, digital you can find on the worldwide web. We'll start drying. We'll start drying when it quits raining. If not, we'll make a statement at 815. We have a new regime of leadership in place. And I would love to see them communicate more when we have weather issues. And look, it's not for me. I got a private plane waiting on me to take me home.

I got a travel agent that's going to book my room. Jennifer St. Embarris, who does a phenomenal job. It's Stuart Hodge Racing. It's for the fans. Tell them what is happening. Fair. Fair. All right.

So I hear congratulations are in order for winning the Steve Sparrier football. Yeah. Go Cox. Are you excited? Now we got a football to put the helmet we've got right here. We got a South Carolina Gamecox logoed football that the main. that the man, the head ball coach, the HBC signed himself. Jason, how much do we pay for that thing?

So on Pristine Auction, the bid was actually pretty exciting. Everyone kept bidding up for, like, the whole day leading up to the end of it. So I ended up bidding 100, and no one outbid that. Yeah, it's worth a hundred. Awesome. Yeah. So I had some people tweet me, too, about pristine auction saying they got on there. They didn't realize they had as much stuff as they did.

So that's kind of cool that people were actually going and checking it out and seeing some items of their favorite sports teams. Celebrities? Yeah, celebrities. I'm pretty excited for this week's item. We are bidding on a Bradley... Casey's wedding pictures. Honestly, Jared should consider that.

But in reality, we are bidding on a Bradley Cooper signed a Starsborn photo. What's a Star's Born? Is that that movie? The movie, yeah. That's a great movie. I know. And it's Bradley Cooper. How could you ever turn that down?

He's hot. So we're going to bid $20 on it right now, and we'll update throughout the show. Dude, that's definitely worth $100. Oh, way more, honestly. Casey, I'll tell her it's like, oh, we're at 100. She's like, keep going, keep going, keep going. Yeah. Bid, bid, bid.

Don't you worry, we're going to win this thing. Good luck. Yeah. Thanks. Spot on, spot off. He's spot off. He's spot off. You like it.

Spot off you don't like it. And you say why either way. First topic. Brad Kislawski pledges I am not lifting after turning Byron in practice. What do you think? Now let T.J. go first because he's going to give you the biased version of what happened, and then I'll give you the real story. Anytime a driver backs up what he says he's going to do, I'm going to be spot on with it.

Because most of these guys, when they say they're going to do something, probably 95% of the time, they don't do it. I mean, so, you know, I hate that it was prattice, and I hate that a car got tore up. But I like when a guy stands behind his word. spot off because this is a complete debacle and the media got duped they fell for it brad caslowski wrecked william byron's car on purpose how do you wreck a car at a plate race easily you get on their left rear what did brad caslowski drew he he drove as hard as he could in that guy's left rear it wasn't like a crazy block it wasn't like brad didn't have other options back in the day Tommy ballwin Brian patty Todd parrot crew chief said i've all

work for. If that guy would have done that to their car in practice, those crew chiefs would have went down there and knocked his teeth out. So Brad was smart enough, and Brad's a very intelligent guy. He was smart enough to do this on purpose, but then had this whole PR play around it because he's a methodical thinker, you know, and he gets out of the car and he's got this whole story and the media start writing, oh, Brad Kosalski's not lifting. Like they all fell for it. He wrecked William Byron. He run over that car and tore his car up on purpose. Say what he wants to say about though I'm not lipped anymore. I literally got text from people when he got turned in the trial that said karma's a

because he got turned, you know, and then obviously Kevin Harvick didn't wreck him on purpose. Brad didn't do anything to deserve to get wrecked, but the friends of mine were like, yeah, he kind of had to eat crow right there. And look, I don't want to see Brad Kozlowski get wrecked. He's a phenomenal plate racer. He's had some bad luck for whatever reason past, you know, year or so. But I think this was, he knew he was going to tear that car up. He was mad.

He was paying him back for something else, maybe earlier in the year or whatever that had happened. But smart PR play. He should get PR guy the week. Interesting. Let's just say that the Brad got turned head on into the wall because of the same situation came up. You might be in a different stance if that's your guy

and your head on under the wall, though. I'm not for anybody getting turned head on that to the wall. That's the same situation came up. They got Brad turned head out of the wall. Where was that at? Daytona last year, that race. And it was in the race. It was in the race in turn three.

Brad lifted for a slow block that you did not sure whether to go higher. And he got turned head on under the wall. Yeah. So. In the race. In the race. Yeah. Not in practice.

No, in the race. Yeah. My point is this was practice and this was an intentional wreck. Watch how far on the left rear he gets. What do you think they'd rather have it happen in? guy came out of the second place finish for the race their skin in the game for for practice like don't tear up for never reason

but that's what I'm saying though if he does in the race that guy gets a 35th place finish now he's second you think there's something else that happened which is why he was retaliating I think I saw a replay of William Byron and wreck and Brett Kazalski somewhere on the video screen I don't I don't recall Brad and him ever having another issue I just I remember him getting wrecked last year in that race

because he lifted for a guy blocking, and the guy behind him didn't lift and drove through him. And that's why Brad got turned a head under the wall. That's why... I'm a other belief that he wrecked him on purpose and practice. I'm just saying that a guy... And then he got out and played this whole PR thing, which was good for him.

I mean, look, he... That was the only thing we had happened from the time we all got to Daytona in the Cup series until we finally took the green flag was Brad Keselowski wrecked William Byron and said he's not lifting. Yeah. And he's a tough guy and he's driving through people now. Let me, let's also say that if you're going to block at a plate track, and I mean, we'll probably get to this more later too, but you need to pick, you need to throw your block and be done with it.

And eat your medicine. You can't, you can't say, well, I'm just going to gradually kind of cover this up and I'm just going to make, you're just going to lift. It does not happen. And the end result is somebody's probably getting wrecked. If you're going to, you need to be precise and decisive on your first move. This is the move I'm making. They might get a run and go on the other side. but this is the lane I want to be in when it happens.

Ross Chastain wins the Xfinity race with Colleg, crossing the finish line. One, two, three. Technically, technically one, two. They did cross the finish line. Well, they did, yeah, technically. The way Jason has, see, this is very strategic on Jason's part, because he didn't say they officially finished one, two, three. He said they crossed the finish line.

Okay. Which is pretty impressive. That's fair. It was very impressive. They're in a fan in America, they can say that's wrong. It was very impressive. All right. What do you think, Brett? Obviously spot on. You know, Colleg Racing, a very young Xfinity Series team,

gets their first win. Their best ever finished before that was fourth in Vegas this year with Austin Dillon, which I just so happen to be on that team. He had a chance to win there. I wasn't able to pull it off. But what I'm most impressed about is, you know, they're beating teams like Penske. They're beating Joe Gibbs Racing, Stuart Haas Racing. They're beating teams that have more engineers than they even have employees. So when you take a guy like Matt Colleg and look at his success story, as a businessman and as a guy who's gotten into racing, a guy like Chris Rice, who's the president over there. Those two guys have invested a lot of time and a lot of money to build this thing up and make it a winning organization. And now they can say they're a winning organization.

And TJ and I both know it's a lot easier to sell sponsorship when you're winning races. It's a lot easier to sell sponsorship when you have drivers that are winning races. They've got Ross Chastain winning races. Justin Haley, won a race. Finish second in the race the day before. Had a Daytona win last year taken away from him. those guys are on the way up in the Xfinity series in terms of what they're able to go out and sell and look everybody here loves Ross Jastain he was just on a show a couple weeks ago he's winning in everything he drives as competitive and I mean he went out and led 49 laps in this race which is the most laps won a stage I mean it's just super super fun exciting race very exciting a lot of um a lot of blocks fast box. I think the part that was interesting

is when you think about somebody like Christopher Bell who was up there too, the fact that Collig had three cars in the top, in the mix the entire time, I mean, that made a huge difference. Well, they had the fastest one pushing all of them. Yeah, but it made a huge difference compared to somebody like Christopher or somebody else

who maybe didn't have a teammate right there with him to help them out, I guess. You know, I'm spot on. I thought it played out right. You got to have luck in these races as well. and there was some wrecks that didn't get those guys. I guess there was one AJ drove through the middle of it, didn't hit anything. Yeah, you got to avoid wrecks.

And those guys raced quite a bit as well. Race each other, which I thought was kind of fun to watch too. But they were also there to help each other when they needed to kind of. And it played out perfect. You can go back there next year and try to do the same thing. And it could go the complete opposite way, just like that, just as easy as it went. We ran for 100 laps, and TJ will appreciate this, 100 laps. right and obviously I'm spotting he's driving and we only missed what I would call two blocks all

night we missed a block in turn two on Michael inette he was had a pretty big run at us and I told Ross to get to the bottom and he said he turned and they kind of like bounce bounce and he said when it bit I was afraid he was there and I said oh he was there by the time you you bit so we missed that block and then Reddick had a tremendous run on us going into turn three with 13 to go and he drove around the outside of us and we were doing everything we could to make that car wide and he just had too freaking much momentum. If we did anything more than what we had done, we were going to get wrecks. So when you have a race that you look back on and you go, man, a hundred laps, because we're blocking every single corner almost. You go, man, we've got,

you know, maybe throwing thousands of blocks. I don't know what the numbers are, but we only missed two all night. We did pretty good. The only thing that I would argue against you there a little bit is your teammate basically, so where's Collie get their car? They get, that's an RCR car. They get their chassis from RCR and then they do get some body stuff. So that's basically an RCR car kind of. Yeah. I mean, in an RCR. It's a supplier.

RCR car on the pole for the race because they did qualify. So they had speed. Oh, yeah. So these cars weren't duds. They know what they're doing. And obviously, I don't know the colleague group at all, but obviously they're doing. 30 employees. Well, they're associating themselves.

I just placed in order for their breakfast and they asked for 40 because they have a few people coming by. It is that small. They're associating themselves, obviously, with the right teams, what they need to, to be competitive. So this isn't really, you know, they should be in that area. And they showed when it comes to a place like that, that they were going to be very competitive. And it was an entertaining race. And I thought Ross and AJ did great. I thought Justin Haley did a good job. It was exciting. I enjoyed watching it. For sure. Spot on, spot off contact between Clint Boyer and Austin Dillon triggers the big one in the cup race. And TJ, I want you to go first because I know Brett probably.

Yep. Yeah. I am spot off because it took us out, basically. Even though we didn't get to go back racing, still tore our car up pretty bad. I'm spot off because in my opinion, there was a classic restrictor plate racing mistake made. and I just talked about it a few minutes ago. You pick one lane one time, and after you decide that, that's where you stay. You can't half it and then go the other half without, you know, there's going to be repercussions to that.

And to me, in my opinion, Austin threw the block and then tried to throw a second block when there was already a nose there. And you can't do that. So I'm spot off for that. That's my opinion of how the wreck kind of started. Yeah, I'm spot off for the big wreck because we were in it. I'm obviously spot off for it because we were in the process of taking the lead when it happened. And the way things were playing out, the 11 was on the bottom. We were pushing the 3, the 1 was behind us.

We had all the momentum up top. So Austin Dillon had one opportunity to get down, which was when he cleared the 11. He didn't take that opportunity. All right. So then I literally said to Clint over the ready. as soon as you clear the 11, shoot the bottom, get to the bottom. You're probably going to know you're clear before I do. And so he, you know, wait a second and a half after I've said that.

He shoots the bottom. Well, when he shoots, it looked like to me, and I've only seen it live. I haven't seen a replay because when stuff pisses me off, I don't want to keep watching it. But when he shot the bottom, it looked like to me, it kind of gave Austin's rear of his car a little wiggle. And that's when Austin's brain went, uh-oh, he's leaving me. I got to get to the bottom and protect it. He went down and we touched. and he got off of us a little bit

and then he went down again and that's when he completely wrecked both of us and I think we were all the way to his will at that point and Andy Houston was like I think you could have gave me more room it's like dude Menard and Denny Hammond literally just had the same scenario play out 20 laps ago where the 11 was pushing the 21 up through the field

and as soon as the 11 got clear to the bottom he goes the bottom and ours done he drops like a rock so you have to pay attention to all those things the race plays out to look we can watch all the film we can watch all the replays every single time we go to these places for whatever reason they race a little bit differently and we certainly weren't ready for a day race going into the weekend you know you can watch all the night races you want well guess what we ran during the day so a lot of those things that I saw happen was what told me to tell Clint what I thought he should do he did what was best for him and the block was too

late it wrecked him it wrecked a lot of cars 20 cars I bet Justin Haley inspire mother sports win the cup race by not hitting before one to go. Spot on, spot off. Brett. Man, this is a hard one. I could talk for an hour about this, I think. Spot on for Justin Haley. A good kid.

Like I said, had one taken away from him last year at Daytona, where he really didn't have a reason to go below the yellow line, but he did. And NASCAR had to make a call, and they did, and they dequeed him. So a little bit of revenge there for him. I'd have to wonder what he's really feeling inside today, because I feel like all day yesterday, he probably just couldn't believe that he had just won a race considering he was in a back marker car probably never passed anyone all day maybe not even all year in the cup series i don't know i mean that car's not really a competitive piece of equipment but good for him where my struggle lies is you know nascar has to throw the caution because it's for the big wreck all right so then we're riding around there and they open pit road okay and then everybody pits well not kirk bush he's leading not landing castle he's running second not just and haley he's run a third but now

NASCAR typically will tune in the radios to see what we're going to do in certain situations. So I'm assuming that they were hearing chatter of the one car saying, when it's one to go, we're going to come top off. Well, they threw one to go. They knew where the storms were. They had to know where the lightning was if they got all this technology. They threw one to go. Everybody pits, but Justin Haley.

So now they probably thought William Byron was going to inherit the lead. Landon Castle and his crew chief were obviously the second worst call, because the worst call was Matt McCall and Kurt Bush not staying out. They had fuel. They just wanted to be on the same sequence as the leaders because everybody had to get to a point to stop again. But Landon Castle throws a waste away. Kurt Busch throws a race away.

Now here sits a kid in a business venture, you know, that just so happens to be a race team, Spire Motorsports. They go in, they paid millions of dollars for the 78 Charter. Said $6 million? They paid $6 million for the charter. They had a business plan that in three years, the $6 million debt would be paid off based on how much money they're going to spend on the race team and how much money they're going to gross.

So three years down the road in 2022, their $6 million debt has now been eliminated. Everything they continue to make on that car from that point forward is profit, right? That's what this team set out to do with this particular car. People have a problem with that. I saw some media people and fans having a problem with that. Look, I mean, we're still all in the racing business. They just go about it differently than some of the other owners go about it. there's not a law against what they do.

There's not a rule against what they do. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to do it. But again, I could talk for an hour because there's a lot of different stuff going on with this thing. But I'm really glad for Justin Haley. That's cool. Yeah, you know, I could be both sides. I could be spot on because they won the race. They made the right call at the right time.

And the caution was thrown for lightning at that point. So I think, I don't think the lightning strike had hit yet before they held the one to go. Tyler said that he was telling. his team how close the lightning was from where he was standing. So he was, the one car radio was reporting lightning very close to the racetrack. Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I mean, that's, I don't think they sit there and say, hey, we don't want this guy leading. Well, they don't know who's going to lead. Yeah, they don't know. They don't know. They don't make a call by who might pit and who not, who's not going to pit. They're going to make a call whenever their little, I'm guessing their

radar pops up and it shows a lightning bolt within their radius. And that's it. but you know I'm spot on for Justin for obviously missing the wreck and and you know but it it just the only said he ran 27th all day he was 27th when going into turn one so the only time I can remember anything remotely like this happening was with the same group almost the same kind of related was James Busher Chris Busher no no James Busher at Daytona There was a big wreck off of four, and he was running probably 15th. Middle of the backstretch comes off of four, and they all wrecked front of him, and he wins the race. But that's part of it there.

I mean, that's probably not going to happen anywhere else. Everything aligned correctly, and he won the race. It's a lot of variables. There's so many. So many variables. Uncontrollable. Well, it's interesting when you said, you know, NASCAR typically listens to kind of what drivers or what teams are going to do, but on TV,

they were saying, I think it was Rick Allen mentioned that, you know, the lightning strike must not have hit when NASCAR called one to go. And so they obviously then the lightning strike hit, so it was just horrible timing. But is there more strategy? Is there more to it that? Well, that point, when they give the one to go, they know what's going to play out. I mean, they've seen it. And then the lightning is so close that you don't have a choice but to throw it because of your policy, right? Yeah.

Man, Justin Haley's group made a, that's got to be the biggest upset. in sports history, I don't recall ever seeing a team that not competitive win anything. Like, this is unbelievable. This is, something like this is, it's like a way lower, like a UFC fighter, boxer, a way lower guy fighting a top rank guy. It's like T.C. beating Mike Tyson. It would be like me fighting Floyd Mayweather and him breaking his hand and can't go on and I get to win. Yeah.

I mean, it's something crazy like that. It's the biggest upset in sports history. Yeah. Again, this, this. Although I think I could win that. What was the best finish they've had all year before a win? Probably 28th, maybe. I mean, that's probably stretching it too.

I mean, these guys are, again, TJ, I think Dickerson owns a part of that company, too. Smart guys. And they brought sponsorship into the sport. I mean, they've got a plan here, but it certainly wanted to go out and win a race. Hey, good for them, though, for everything, everything. everything worked out perfectly. You couldn't plan on any of that stuff happening again like it did. Just do the simple math, right? So you know that last place is going to earn them about $4 million a year in revenue, right? So they paid six for it. They're telling you they want to pay it off in

three years. They're telling you they're going to run the company on $2 million, pay $2 million back to the bank. Obviously, I'm not including interest, duh, for all you math majors out there. But long story short, that's what they did. I mean, they took a business risk, and this payoff was not calculated. So all they're doing now is paying their loan off quicker. Yeah. Best finish was 28th at Charlotte this season. Yeah. That's, uh, there's never going to be a bigger upset than what just happened right there ever. And I don't know how, I don't think it can't, this can't happen anywhere but a plate race. A hundred percent true. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, for to a team of that caliber, because anywhere else are going to be multiple laps down,

you know, at that point in the race. Do you see the poll for how many people liked the race? No. It was like 60, 40 liked it. Yeah. But, that's also because NASCAR's hands were kind of, they were, they're mad about the rain and lightning and stuff. And again, a lot of variables. Whenever you, like, let's say this, if you do take that poll, judge it by the racing on the racetrack, not, the outcome. Not for variables that can't be controlled.

Don't say you didn't like the race because it was lightning within eight miles. That's not fair, really. The race was very exciting, like throughout, I mean. The cup race was awesome. Both of them were awesome. Yeah. I don't know how you can say it was, see, this is why. starting to see the polls are influenced by who wins the race, really.

Other variables other than just the product on the track. Yeah, and people don't judge it by, don't judge it by, you know, because of the weather, judge it by what you saw under green flag, were you on the edge of your seat? Yeah. That's what I would go with. The Xfinity race in February was horrible. You could not run the bottom.

Everybody was so loose. The top line prevailed every single time. We came back, obviously, this weekend, in the Xfinity race at night was phenomenal. You know, it just, man, you just never know what you're going to get with these plate races, but I thought the cup race yesterday was as good of a plate race as I've seen at Daytona in a very long time. Maybe since like 0405 even. Great.

I'll be talking. Good luck. Fast lane. All right. First question in fast lane. Spencer Gallagher tweeted that the draft is as exciting as the drivers are courageous. Do you agree that there needs to be an aggressive driver leading for super speedway races to be exciting? What do you think, TJ?

I don't think it has to be an aggressive driver leading. It just depends on the package. Can you get a run? It doesn't matter how aggressive the driver is. be leading and control the pack right, they got to be able to get runs on them. That's where the, that's, you know, your confidence and courage builds as your car can get runs and make moves. If your car is incapable of doing that, you're not going to have, you know, good races.

But obviously when we're with the right package, you know, those aggressive drivers, aggressive drivers are fun to watch. This tweet doesn't even make sense to me. The draft is as exciting as the drivers are courageous. If he's, I don't know, maybe he's not insinuating that the drivers have to be courageous to make it exciting. The reality is they're all already courageous and they have cahoons of steel. Like, T.J. just said, I mean, we just said, we went to the infinity race in February and they couldn't pass. They rode single file to finish the race because they couldn't make moves.

These guys are, if they have the ability to make moves based on the era and horsepower package that T. T.J. just alluded to, they're going to do it. it. Now, if he's saying that the draft is exciting because these guys are courageous, then I'll agree with him. But I don't know, that tweet could go either way. Yeah, I don't, when you're running third or fourth wide open, what are you going to be able do? If you're wide open, you're wide open. You're done, like you're stuck there. You know, and I don't, I think all these guys, you know, they're all courageous. If they can get runs, they're going to go. I mean, they need to have the ability to do that.

Yeah. ability to have them to have a run, we got no racing. Next one. Steve Phelps said NASCAR likely won't reduce the number of cup races on the 2021 schedule. Would reducing the number of races help or hurt the sport, do you think? What about Brett? I actually don't want to reduce a number of races that we run. What I would like for them to do, though, is tell me what races we're going to run and where they're at because I'm working on some sponsorship stuff and it's hard to have those conversations with teams and with sponsors when you don't know when we're going to be on what markets and how many races. And how many

races we're ultimately going to do. Let's look at this, though. You know, drivers and sponsors already have contracts in place with various teams. I can't imagine that Kyle Bush and M&Ms don't already know how much money they're spending and all that stuff. So when you go in and you reduce a number of races, wow, you put the team in a hell of a bad spot. Now they've got to go back and say M&Ms, you don't have to pay us as much money, which ultimately says we've got to do an addendum to our contract. You can really put a team in a bad position if you start taking away the number of races. I would love us to see 13 weeks, one break,

13 weeks, one break, go for 10 and be done. I don't, I like how it fluctuates a little bit. I think taking away races is a bad idea. I think running them, I think there's some things we can do in

more prime times, like we rained out of Michigan. We ran that thing at 5 o'clock and had a pretty good audience for it. Yeah. There's something to that. There's something to why we all sit down and watch Monday night football. You know, maybe a Wednesday night NASCAR, something like that. Why not? You know, I think keeping the amount of race is the same, but, you know, changing, you know, compacting the schedule.

Are you barefooted right now? I'm definitely barefooted. Don't you touch me your feet, dude. Like, I'm good with you doing anything else. Don't put your feet on your own serious. Not to disagree with you guys, but there's been a lot of talk about how expensive the sport is and how teams are struggling. So, you know, a lot of people are saying, and I actually kind of agree with this, you know, shortening the schedule makes it less expensive, more reasonable for teams.

I mean, do you see that as being kind of a good way of helping it price-wise for others? I think when you bring up what you said, I don't because I look at the race running as an opportunity to make a sell. I think within what you say, though, of what a weekend consists of, there's a lot of ways to save money. You know, just what we talked about for Daytona. You know, if we go down on Friday morning instead of Thursday morning, we could change that schedule around them, still get the practices in, still get the qualifiers in, still get the race in that night, and save the teams a lot of hotel money, a lot of rental car money,

a lot of per diem money. I mean, we're talking tens of thousands of dollars per team that we can save just on one day. So I don't really look at the number of races that we run and say, I want to save money and not run as many because I, my sales guy, I'm a marketing guy, right? I don't look at it that way. All right. Now halfway through the season and heading to another one and a half mileer at Kentucky,

grade the 2019 Cup Series Aero Package at the different types of tracks. You know, super speedways, one and a half milers, short tracks, road courses. T.J. You know, I got to give it a, I'm going to give it a B. I think it's produced some great racing. We don't have guys driving away. We don't have guys leading by six, seven seconds, and they're just gone. we've had you know the racing you know obviously it pays to be the leader but i've seen i've seen

the leader get run down pass and then passed back at a mile and a half with this package also incredible resarts man on on insane resarts way entertainment factor has to be high because of this you know package and what we're doing i think it could use a little more fine tuning but i'll go with a b super speedways and a plus one and a half milers a c because the restarts are phenomenal. Short tracks, a solid B, road course, and F, because someone had an idea to change Sonoma for the worst. And I hope we get to Watkins Glen and we put on a hell of a show

because that's a great racetrack. And you can't compare our road course package to what we just saw at Sonoma. There was way too much on throttle time. That's not on the package. That's on the layout of the road course. Yeah, I mean, one quick note about Sonoma is taking running the carousel, erased a passing zone in my opinion. At the old Sonoma,

four, you either backed four up and got a good run out or you overdrove hoping the guy doesn't get to you because four is a passing zone or you overdrove it, you know, and then the guy's got a good, the guy behind you backs him and gets a good run off and he's on you in seven.

So I think, I think Sonoma could go back to the other way, but we're trending in the right direction, in my opinion. This one is an off-the-wall question from Kayla. Good one, actually. If you were arrested with no explanation,

what was your friends and family assume you had done? Brett, your first. Probably a decent exposure. I was just about to say that. Probably I had too much patron and I got naked. Tequila makes your clothes fall off. I think. Someone said.

Is this from experience? No, I don't know. Man, that's a good question. I mean, I'm, I'm going to go ahead and assume that it's probably something really bad because I'm usually, I'm pretty quiet and don't go out a whole lot and stuff, but those are the usually the ones that you worry about. You know, it's something that big to pops up. You, you would be the king of obstruction of justice. Like, you need your own t-shirt and says, TJ, obstruction of justice. Yeah.

I'm all right with that. Yeah. Do you know that means you broke law, though? Yeah, that means I'm in trouble. Obstruction is a big word. Yeah. I've obstructed justice. Casey, what would you get arrested for?

Oh. I don't know. Maybe obstruction of justice as well. I'm not really sure. I would say shoplifting because I love shopping, but... That's funny. That's probably, actually. Oh, my gosh.

Don't get arrested. It's not fun. I don't plan on it. I got trouble once in Rock Hill. for drinking underage and that guy let me go but he gave me a ticket it was like $400 ticket

and we're talking I didn't have $400 and then I got trouble in Myrtle Beach I got in a fight No way Of course you did Yeah it's been like jail What about you Jason?

They sold t-shirts I've been in Myrtle Beach jail Do you have it? No it wasn't that great of an experience I didn't want a t-shirt to remember it Trust me I went to Merle Beach this week You get locked up?

I saw that jail. I was visiting it now. I almost got locked up in freaking Pagelan because we were throwing water balloons in high school. And my cousin, Shannon, sped up. And all of us threw water balloons at the same time. And it busted her windshield out. And so she calls her dad. Her dad comes down there and he's like, take them all to jail.

Shannon starts crying. You can't see him bread to jail? He said my cousin. That's my uncle. So you take me to jail. I was like, are you kidding me? So we had to all pay for her to get in the windshield. That's a lot of water balloons.

He was like three. I think it was a bad winchard. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. I'm telling you, though, when it hit it, it was like, Oh, I'll bet. And you were like, uh-oh.

That just got expensive. Yeah. Well, I'm a typical guy from a small town. We just know how to have fun. We don't get arrested. Clearly. Except for one time. Except for one time.

Let's hear some more about our great partner, pristineauction.com. Pristineauction.com is an online auction site with tons of cool, authentic, authentic, and affordable, a blue memorabilia. I mean, they offer numerous different types of auctions as well. Daily auctions with bids starting at just $1 and nightly and rapid fire 10-minute auctions. I mean, how about a 10-minute auction? You know at 10 minutes you're going to win it or not.

You know, I get some of my nerves is when I go out to eat and I say, I want to get a cheeseburger with no tomato at avocado. And they're like, well, that's going to be a dollar charge. I didn't ask you if you thought I had a dollar. At pristineauction.com, a dollar will actually buy you more than avocado. So go to pristineauction.com. What? And check out, they also have various NASCAR items to bid on for really low prices.

Yeah, these are some that have gone recently for some pretty low prices. So Ryan Blaney's was only $7.94. $0.94. $7.94. It's a lot of avocado. Yeah, it is a lot of that. I don't eat that anyway. But, you know, Kurt Busch signed a Tona 500 winning 11 by 14 photo, 9.45. And Brett's favorite sport women's soccer, they just won the World Cup.

And an autographed picture of Kristen Press, who scored a goal against England, went for just $27.30. I bet it's worth a little bit more now. I bet Kurt Busch photo would have sold for more if he just stayed out yesterday. Probably would have. Like, it's quick and free to register, free to bid, and you only pay when you win. As a DBC listener, enter the registration code clear. that's for you guys that can't spell clear

Yes, we got Casey. Casey's hoping it grows by one item here. Bradley Cooper's coming next week. We'll see. Yes. Ask DVC. First question is from Brendan 370 ZZ. Do you guys feel like the manufacturer alliances are hurting the Super Speedway product?

what do you think t j um yes and no it's it makes it for a um a less exciting race for the guys that are really aggressive and can um that can forth the way to the front you know that it's hard for the cream to rise to the top when you're when you're trying to stay with a with your group you know but i feel like the way this is trending is strength in numbers um and i don't see it going away but they're still super speed racing guys are going to pull each other apart with the side draft that stuff still going to happen I thought the race was still pretty exciting

even with all that in there maybe I'm wrong but I think the alliances are very important around the timing of when we're making green flag pit stops I think that you saw yesterday the Ford's pit together the Ford's came out with the lead the Chevroletes with this particular package and Toyota's got

together ran us down pretty quickly I don't think it's at all hurting the super speedway product. I think it just changes the strategy of the race. It's another element. We still have one goal, you know, and that's for our team to win the race. And then if we can't win, I certainly would much rather push a Ford to Victory Lane on Sunday than I would the other two manufacturers for obvious reasons.

So, I mean, look at what Clint and Austin Dillon and Denny Hamlin, that's who was first, second, and third yesterday when the big one happened. You had a Toyota, Chevrolet, and a Ford. So if these manufacturer alliances were us getting around out there in line and riding single file, you wouldn't have had that happen. So I can't say that Brennan and I agree with you here. Next one is from Tom Berlin 58. Which will happen first? Another low-budget cup team win or a Gamecock victory over the Tigers, Brett? I think we beat him in baseball last year. I can't remember if we beat him in basketball. We certainly didn't beat them in football. They've had two phenomenal

quarterbacks with Deshawn Watson and now this long-haired kid that looks like a girl that can throw the hell out of a football. Trevor Lawrence, I think, is his name. But apparently this guy is a Clemson fan, so I'll just answer with kiss my ass. He didn't specify football. I was thinking football, but I didn't see him too bad. Yeah, he's smart enough.

He's not smart enough to specify football. Yeah. Because he went to Clemson probably. Oh, man. One cow town. Be nice. That's what they do for fun. You go cow tipping at night.

Look, he was talking. You just talked about water balloons at a car. We went to five points at night. It was fun. Well, moving along. Next one from Ro Boykin or Rob Boykin. T.J. mentioned watching film last week. What is your typical week like?

Do spotters usually attend team meetings? T.J, I'll let you answer that one. I think every organization is different. I know a lot of spotters that go to competition meetings, they go sit in or go to their team meetings weekly. I don't have a meeting at the shop weekly that I attend. Most of my contact is with the driver, with Joey, and going over things. What we saw, me and Joey will talk once or twice a week before we get there.

We meet on Mondays a lot and sometimes go over some film stuff, talk about the last race, talk about the upcoming race, just what stood out last time. It just takes away a little bit of, it gets us more familiar with where we're going and what would just happen or anything we can work on more. That's, you know, the spotter and the drivers are more connected than anything because they're the ones talking back and forth on the radio and stuff. You know, it doesn't really concern me or Brett. I'm sure what kind of package they're going with, how the car is supposed to handle.

I like to know what we're kind of looking for a little bit, just to see Joey's comments on the car, how it's handling, because I kind of know what kind of, I know what Joey drives the best, what kind of handling car he's fastest with, but they could show me a set up sheet, and I could really have, I have no idea what most of it means nowadays, and that's up, that, you know, that's above my head on that. Yeah, team meetings, no, not really. I work directly with Clint, just as T.J. does with Joey, and I work directly with

Booga, the crew chief on, you know, strategies, fuel windows, knowing what those things are. And, you know, those things are playing out more so a lot of times during the race on Channel 2. I'm constantly telling him what I see the car doing, telling Clint, obviously, what moves need to be made there on the racetrack. But for us, I mean, that's really the two primary people we're working with. Air pressures, you know, setups, shocks, springs. None of that means anything to what, you know, we bring to the table of spotters. It's nice to know what your plan is for the weekend, though, sometimes what you're looking for in practice. It's nice to know that stuff sometimes.

But, yeah, we don't, it's not imperative for us to go and talk about, you know, setup. stuff, what made the car handle this way and stuff like that, it doesn't do us much good. Nope. Next one is for Matt Delaney 513. What kind of race should we expect at Kentucky this weekend? So far, they've seen mixed results across all races this season. How about you, Brett? Dry.

I just won't dry. And not to get freaking wrecked again. Deal. I think Kentucky is going to be interesting. It has some characteristics to it. entry to three is kind of weird there. It's kind of narrow, but you want to run the bottom, but it's hard to run the bottom.

I think guys that can turn off the wall down into three and get to the bottom are going to have a pretty good advantage to that place, air-wise, because the groove isn't as wide as I'd like to see it, Kentucky. But I don't know, we'll see. This package is surprises of places, and some places we went to, and we thought it was going to be one way, and it was a complete opposite. I'm glad it's a night race. I think that helps this package.

I've said that 100 times on here. This question is from Rational Fan 9 for Brett specifically. Where should I go for my bachelor party that is driving distance from North Carolina? Myrtle Beach, dude. That's a stupid question. Load up your buddies and go to Myrtle Beach. I don't know where you're at in North Carolina, but that's a good time. Nashville's not far.

That's where Casey went. Nashville, North Carolina is actually awesome, too. That would be my top three. Depending upon the time of year, Savannah, Georgia isn't a bad idea either. Oh, I hear that much nice. It's more like a couple's town, I feel like. You know, like it's a great adult destination, a lot of great food and bars and restaurants there. But I feel like it's more of a couple's thing.

Now. Single. I'm really surprised at you. Why, where'd you want to do you? I'm really surprised that you just didn't tell them not to get married. Misery loves company. Go ahead, bud. You have Brett's permission.

Proceed with a wedding. Please post your entire phone. photo album after a little. Yeah, highly recommended. Yeah, for the solid next 10 years of your life after your wedding, just keep Facebooking and tweeting and Instagramming your photos that everybody wants to keep seeing. We can do it together.

From your magic day. You post, I'll post. From the day that your wife and her family is going to, your future wife and her family is going to waste the most money they've ever wasted in their life for... Make sure you tag Brett. 10 hours. He clearly loves it. Of your life.

Casey, I'm sorry to point this out, but you do have your wedding video linked in your Instagram bio when my friends pointed that out. Yeah, I do. I paid good money for it. Love that video. Jason. I'm sorry. I thought it was really funny.

My friend pointed out last night. Okay. I don't understand. Are you like on a bandwagon? Are you like a bandwagon fan or something? Because you were just saying how so many people were behind me and all this earlier. He's a Kyle Busch fan. Shut up.

This is true. Just leave it at that. This is true. Not true. It is true. Your buddy Andrew told me about your t-shirts and stuff. Oh. I don't, well, that was a...

I have a whole story to explain this, but we have to get done so we can do Dillard's video. What about a rant? Anything? Coming soon. TJ? So, Brett, I have a question for you. I've been saving this. What is it?

It's a great one. I've, you know, I know you're very vocal on social media about certain things. He's got a photo ready and everything. Yeah. was great. You know, I found this, we come across this tweet that you posted in 2017. What is it? 17, how'd you find that?

From the Exfini Racing. I had help. You must have bored. So Xfinity Racing account says, you know, best out of the, bust out the watermelon, Rosh Estain gets his first career top five in fourth. Your response to this was, this guy has prob never loaded a watermelon truck in his I was wrong. And actually, I'm not wrong.

You're such a van wagon friend. Listen to me, I'm from the watermelon capital of the world, okay, first of all. Second of all, he hasn't loaded a truck. They have school buses that they load all these watermelons in. So I'm probably not wrong about this. I thought that was pretty funny that, you know, you're kind of, you're downing the guy because you were mad at him then. And now you're like best friends with him?

Now you're the leader of the Ross Chastain train. Funny how that works out. I love it. When I came up, I was like, oh, this is going to be great. Honestly, I think it just goes off of the fact that Brett has to have something to complain about, something to rant about. It could be the stupidest thing in the world, and you might hate a person one day and then be their best friend. That's what sports are. You're being, but you're biased right now because of the wedding picks.

Damn right, I am. You're biased right now. Hey, listen to me, I said on this podcast probably four years ago, I would never. Spot for AJ Amadinger. And I'm a spot for AJ Amadinger, Road America. So, like, things change in sports, man. I'll have to search that one next. You live in this world where, you know, we're happy with one another, we're mad at one another.

We go drink a beer with one another after it and you get over it. Like, I mean, that's part of sports. And it's unique to our industry because we all travel so close together. And, I mean, look, you can be mad at a guy. And the next week, the guy's sitting beside of you on an airplane. And you're like, stop a lot of a lot of a lot. See, this goes back to show you that if Brett's got you blocked on Twitter, there's still hope. No, probably not.

I blocked some idiot last night. I don't doubt that one bit. Yeah. What do you say? I don't care who wins as long as it's not a Stuart Haas racing car. I don't care who tweets me as long as it's not. Oh, yeah. They tagged me in that.

He going. Yep. Won't hear from that guy again. Somebody tag me in that. All right. Anything else? Should we do our DBC picks? Should we?

Good Lord, man. You got about eight races until the reset. I'm going to have one before the playoff even starts. This is ridiculous. You're in trouble this week, too. Kentucky. Oh, my God. I got nobody to pick from it.

The worst case scenario happened right there for me. The big rack, yeah. And we were in it. Or the car I picked was in it. You know what? I'm going to go with, oh, God,

this is terrible. He's got nobody left. I mean, you only have. I got some guns left right here. You got two guns left. Two guns. Two guns.

Yeah, three guns. Two really. Two and a half. I got. How many races are left, Jason? Eight, I believe. He's going to have a chance then.

Oh, yeah, because once we, after these next two weeks. Once Cory LaJoy and Michael McDowell go head-to-head one week for y'all, you all have a chance. I am going to go with Austin Dillon. That's a pretty good pick.

Austin Dillon, they qualify extremely well. They've had some speed, but I'll take Ryan Blaney to outrun him. Yeah, Ryan's good there. I got no. Penske's good there. Keselowski's always been. I think this is Keselowski's best track. It was before the roll change, though.

The package will change that up. Yeah. Who's overall favorite? You think Kislauski's still? No. I mean, look a minute. different race. We've had Penske and Joe Gibbs Racing

and Spire Motorsports win races this year. Hendrick. Yeah. So, like, I mean, how do you? I think Kentucky's different than Chicago and Kansas. I think it's a little different than those. It's got more bumps to me. It's got a little more characteristics to it.

It's a rough riding racetrack. It's going to be harder to just have that raw speed, like some of the, like the HMS cars have showed at a mile and a halfs now where they just have tons of speed. I don't know, we'll see. Quick, give me a movie to watch because I haven't watched them in a couple weeks. Didn't we give you like 20 options?

Yeah, they gave me some option. Which one do we want them to pick? Which ones have you not seen, Jason? I haven't seen Shaw Shank Redemption. Oh my gosh. You have to see that one. That's a really good one. It's not funny, but it's good.

I haven't seen, what was the one, Freddy said, super bad. That looked funny. Kingpin, Billy Madison, Forrest Gump, Shawshank Redemption, Super Bad. I probably just needed to watch Shawshank Redemption. Did you ever watch the Muppet movie

that Billner's suggesting? No. You didn't watch it? I didn't really know what, I forgot the name. Yeah, I'd never heard of it. Like Fragle Rock? I remember the Fragle Rock. That's funny.

All right, I'll do Shawshank Redemption. Will you say it right? Is that the one of Morgan Freeman? Shaw? It's one word. Shawshank. Shawshank. Is that Morgan Freeman in that?

Y'all know Jay Sahn. Who's Jay Sons? Shut up. Our producer, Jay Sahn. J.C. Boat. Yeah, Bob Pock Rass. Is Morgan Freeman in that movie or not?

Yes. Okay, I've seen that movie. It's a good one. I don't remember names of movies. It's just not, I don't care about the names of it. It's really good. I watched a documentary this week called the 7-5 out of New York. Dirty Police Officers.

Oh, holy. gal this guy was crazy interesting i love documentaries you gotta see the mike tyson one just don't watch the motley crew one on a commercial airplane oh yeah you said that opening scene not suitable no not all all all right well thanks for joining us the post-daytona crash fest that we had our bradley cooper bid still going strong on pristine auction
