Sit back, relax, and enjoy this episode of DBC. I'm TJ Majors. This is Brent Griffin. Get ready. Be ready, be ready.

Give me what you got here. New leader. Watch out for this guy. White flag. Recognize. Hello. Clear. Bring home.

Free light. Coming to the line. George bumper. Clear. Hey, everybody. I am T.J. Majors. Spotter of nothing this week. And almost a full studio, missing a little piece.

I'm, I guess I'm Brett Griffin in the same boat. I didn't spot anything. And with the word boat, we're actually missing a boat. We're missing Casey boat. Yeah. But we have producer Jason in the house. What's up? We have a big announcement, too.

What are you trying to say about Freddie? Is that a fat joke, Jason? Yeah. Why so early? Freddie, I put a challenge out on Twitter that if you've got 10,000 followers, you could be on the show. You're at 9822. 9,822. Should we just assume you're going to get the other 107 electoral votes, 170 electoral votes?

I think that's a safe assumption. It's been going pretty quick this week. What if we do a challenge? I'm not doing no more challenges on this show. Why? If it gets enough retweets. Let's do it. Let's do a tattoo.

No. Come on your mind. No chance. You get like Kalinoff tattoo on the inside of your leg. Oh, man. So what's up? It's Freddie Kraft. I guess the people have spoken, really.

The millions and millions of listeners that have sent in and asked me to be full-time on this deal. We sent a poll out. Have one over. And 15% of the people didn't even know who you were. That's the option I voted for. Everybody that I know voted for that option because they thought it's fun. I voted for the replaced bread option because I didn't want to. If I was going to be full time, I did not want to deal with your ass.

You're part of the 3%. Yeah. Three percent of the people of my own poll hate me. I'm pretty sure it was me, Clint, T.J. and Casey that all voted on that way. So that was good. I didn't vote. He sustained. Yeah.

I was in a bar one time in college, my senior year. and one of my best friends, Robbie Outlaw, was an econ major at Clemson. Hey, his last name's Outlaw? Yeah, yeah. That's kind of cool. He always came to Columbia because Clemson sucks so bad. He came to Columbia to hang out.

So we're in this bar hanging out. It was actually a have a nice day cafe when they first opened. They don't suck now. No. So all of these senators and congressmen, you know, obviously we're talking at the state level. After work, they would come into the bars, right? So they're in the bar.

And Robbie was all caught up in politics. And at 21, I probably didn't really care. He walks over and he's like, Mr. Bauer, would you vote on this bill? He's like, I sustained. And Rob, he's just staring at him. And the guy goes, sustain means I didn't vote. The guy goes, where I'm from, sustain means you're a .

And I was like, oh, we're getting rid of getting a fight with all of these freaking politicians. No, we're not going to win this fight. It's actually abstained. Ustained. Just for the record. I thought he said he sustained. I mean, sustain is a word, but it's not that word. Oh, he abstained.

How'd you know that? I just read it on Google. He didn't vote is what he was saying. My guy was like, well, you're here. I believe the guy's last name's outlaw. It is. So when they did like last name, he was like, Outlaw, Robbie, he's probably like, that's pretty neat. I could love attendance roll call every morning.

Yeah. Robbie Outlaw? Yeah, that's me. Dude. Right here, Outlaw. That's a pretty awesome name. That is pretty cool. Did you have kids?

Did he have any kids? Yeah, he's got two girls. I wonder what their names are. Lily Outlaw. What's the cool first name? You've got to have a cool first. That's what I was thinking. Maybe Casey needs to incorporate outlaw into the boat thing.

That's still a cool name, though. But, yeah, so did you take off? Oh, yeah. Let's talk about what happened up until we found out we weren't racing in Atlanta. You're going to be mad. So I got up at 7 o'clock. I left for the airport at 7.30. I got there at 8.05.

I got on the plane at 815 after load my luggage and doing what you do, right? You were early or late? I'm always early. Okay. So I'm there at 8.15. We're going to leave at 9. We probably got loaded a few minutes early. And off we go. Boom, we're going to Atlanta. And we're going to Atlanta to a normal scheduled weekend. We're going to practice on Friday. We're going to have two practices. We're going to be done at 630. On Saturday, we're going to qualify. And on Sunday, we're going to race per NASCAR before I took off. As we were landing, we're probably five minutes out. And one of the guys on our team gets an email. and it's from like Jay Fabian. You're not supposed to have your phone. It's supposed to be in airplane mode.

It was in airplane mode, I think. So anyway, literally it was in airplane mode. I sustained. I'm going to talk about it. Substain. So anyway, he gets this email, and it's from Jay Fabian.

And it says, the garage is closed on Friday. Yeah. On Saturday morning, you'll come in at 7 o'clock, you'll qualify at 11, you will race at 2. And he shows me this email. And he's like, this can't be right. can it? I was like, what doesn't make sense that we were going to race on Sunday, and now we're going to race on Saturday, and that the garage is closed today, obviously, something has happened.

So fast forward, we land. When we land, we all just sit there. And it's like, I'm not getting off plane because maybe the plane's going home, and we're hearing that Gibbs has turned around. By now, Freddie's texting me going, hey, we're not even coming. We're sitting on the ground in Statesville. We're not leaving. There's a truck race. There's a truck race tonight. I've got to figure out how I'm getting there. So long story short, we have. We have a lot of it. We have a I'll sit there and I'm like, man, if I get off this plane, it means I got to get up in the morning at, you know, 10 o'clock, 11 o'clock, and go work. If you get off. Yeah, if I stay on it and it goes back home, I'm going to have to get up at 3 o'clock in the morning to fly back down here to be here when the garage opens at 7.

I was like, man, I was going to get off. So Clint's on my plane, right, which is rare. His plane's in the shops, reason why. So he is just, you know Clint, right? He's wired. Yeah, he's, yeah, he's about everything. We just had breakfast, according to you. Yeah.

So we get to the hotel, and I'm standing in line to check in, and Freddie text me this. He said, O'Donnell just told, who did he tell? John Hunter? A driver. A driver. O'Donnell just told a driver that we're not racing is canceled. So I look at all my guys standing in the lobby, and I say, hey, y'all might want to hang tight. We may be getting ready to go home.

I get my key to my hotel room, and boom, that's when I got the text from my crew chief, Klaus Meyer, saying, come back to the airplane, we're going home. And then obviously still no official news, which, man, I told you it. They got to get their ducks in a row. The official news came out as we were going down the runway to take off to come back home. So you never left. I was in the same boat. See what many times we can say that today?

I was in the same boat as Freddie. We had shut the door. We were getting ready to move. And I mean, they were. What time is this? Like 930 probably? Yeah, right around there. Right around 930.

and you guys hadn't landed yet. There was planes in the air still. Yeah, because when I text you, it didn't go through. Yeah, I text co-op people didn't go through either. Hendrick plane was in the air because I text a couple of people there. They landed right in front of us. Yeah, so they shut it down.

Well, one of the crucius stands up is like, hey, did you get that, Travis, did you see that email? Branes his phone up, looks at it. Goes right to the pilots up front, and we don't, I mean, they were getting ready to release the brakes. We were getting ready to roll. Not down the runway, from the hangar.

Right. And then they shut the engine down. We all sat there for maybe 10 minutes. Travis asked us to stay put just so they could figure out what was going on, what plan was going to be. And we ended up sitting there for about 15 minutes. And they decided that this is before, like you said, they said that we weren't racing yet.

We were actually going to fly back later that night around 745 or something like that to be there for early in the morning. So we all were looking. leaving. There was a few of us that were getting ready to hop in a car and drive down to go to the truck race. So we were getting ready to leave at 1130 or so. I was going to go home, takes the stuff out of my bag, and only take an overnight bag for one night. And we were going to, we were going to drive down for the truck race. And it wasn't long after I got home that got the message, you know, the next two weeks are canceled. So, or postponed or however they want to put it.

So luckily we didn't take off. We didn't have a, would you get a nap? no oh you're nice to Clint you don't that makes to Clint and listen to me when he got back so I call him I'm like hey this thing's getting ready to get canceled he's like ah no son of a bitch you know he's just raising hell I said you were the last one on the plane this morning you we literally were sitting there waiting on you get hurry up and get to the airport because we're ready to go home and he literally got to the airport same time I did oh that's good and he didn't bring me food so I was laughing because we're there's like we said we all try to take off well then we don't

So then now they're like, all right, truck races tonight. I'm spotting a truck. T.J. spot a truck. So a couple guys are going to get in the car and go. Well, victory's like, hey, hang on here because we're going to rush the pit crews over here, get them. As soon as they get here, we're going to send a plane down there. So there was like, well, hang out. We'll all get on that plane.

So that was going to leave at noon to get us down there in time for qualifying in the race. So then it just all hell broke loose. Like having so quick. So then John Hunter's like, hey, I just got this email. from O'Donnell that the next two weeks are postponed, do not let this get on social media. And the next second I opened my phone that just said a tweet from Clint, damn it. Well, he didn't let the cat out of the bag. He just a little foreshadowing.

I said, well, I see he's still following rules as good as ever. But, yeah. I don't know what went on to make these decisions. Like, you know, maybe, I don't know the circumstances. is I know our events are a little bit different than others. We're outside. We're open air. You know, we're not big mass gatherings, I guess.

I don't know how they would. I mean, the garage area might put it massive. It's pretty big. Well, I mean, without fans. Without fans. Well, here's the thing, man. And let's talk about that for a second. Without fans, without the truck series, without the Exfinity series,

with just the officials and just the team personnel. And to some degree, some media, I'm assumed we're already there. I know Jim Utter was at least in Atlanta. I don't know if he's at the racetrack. I would imagine we're 1,000 people. Yeah, I don't know. I would say so. I mean, you got...

There's 20 people on my team. 38 teams or 40 teams or whatever, and you got what? How many per team, 12? No, more than that. You got more than 12. There's 12 under Rossi. Which they did limit who you can bring. Then you bring in seven pit crew guys.

Yeah. One PR person per team. I mean, you're still talking. Just say 20. Just say 200 people just in team personnel. Yeah. You got officials. Yeah.

And here's the thing about the officials. And I'm not saying anything bad about them, but they're coming in from all over the country. Like if we're all coming in on private planes, and I'm not saying that's any better, because if one of us has got it, we're all in jeopardy. But we're coming in on private planes. They're coming in on commercial planes literally from all over the country. Those guys don't live in Charlotte. They live wherever they want to live.

Yeah. Like they're, man, what a terrible position as a country and as a sport to even be in. And honestly, there's, you know, I was kind of looking forward to going to the race a little bit. I wanted to race. You wanted to race. I was already there. I wanted to race more than you did. Atlanta's a great racetrack.

I was looking forward to the race, but I get it. It's hard for all sports, man. There's so many moving pieces at one time. I would hate to have to try to coordinate all this. Teams, drivers, like you said, officials. You got data people, media people, TV people. There's so many moving pieces. I talked with a truck series general manager yesterday.

for a little while. And it cost him to go down there and do what they did, which was absolutely nothing. Yeah. To get to Atlanta, to unload, to check into their hotels, and to turn around and do absolutely nothing and come back home. It cost them $24,000. Yeah.

And you guys hear that number for that team, yeah. You hear 24,000, you guys, not that much money. Yeah, but it cost 20, it cost a lot of teams, $24,000. You're talking probably getting close to a million dollars by the time you do all three series because the Xfinity series was there, the truck series was there, and a lot of the cup teams went. Man, as an industry, like the way our economics is laid out, those teams can't afford to lose $25,000.

Yeah, I get, you know, I feel bad. And I think, you know, there'll be ways to, I don't know what we can do to help counteract that down the road. But this is just a, I mean, this is just a freak. It sucks. Yeah, there's nothing to anybody. None of us really kind of ready for this. I'm going to read you a tweet that Alan Copevana, whatever's name is, sent out.

Great dude. Yeah, that's the guy. You got an argument? No, I didn't get an argument. So in NASCAR, NASCAR made the- It looked like an argument to me. It looked like an argument to me. NASCAR made the decision that we were racing, right?

So then Alan tweets out, the responsibility is now on every team, every official, media member, et cetera. If you feel sick, be honest to stay home. We all owe it to each other. I hate to break it to Allen, but I felt sick. for three weeks with my sinuses. So how do I know the difference between a sinus infection and, oh, I may have the coronavirus? And I talk to a lot of drivers. I even asked Freddie this. If you woke up on Sunday morning in Atlanta and you felt like you had a cold, were you going to go to the racetrack

and do your job? T.J. Yeah, I mean, at that point. My point is that this sport, the culture of this sport is not built around people being not going to work because they're sick. I've never missed a race because I was sick. I've spotted a ton of races while I was sick. I mean, deathly sick. Oh, yeah. I did Darlington throwing up sick that one time. It's not about, it's about the decision was made that we're going to race.

You got 40 drivers. You got 40 spotters. You got 40 crew chiefs. You know, you got 80 tire changers, whatever those numbers are. You fill a responsibility to your team, to your family, to everybody to show up and do your job. So once the decision is made that we're going to race, my point on this tweet was not that, oh my God, I think I got coronavirus, I'm going to work anyway.

If I woke up and didn't feel good Sunday morning, I was still going to the racetrack. I didn't have a choice in my mind, right? Yeah. Yeah, I mean, we don't have a lot of excess. People can't just fill in either. I mean, I know that you can put somebody up there, you know, it's going to be harder. Who's going to substitute spot for Joey Lagano if we're already on a skeleton crew down there? I mean, I'm sitting there thinking about who's going to, you know, who's going to car chief?

I mean, all these guys. Who's going to spot for Bubba? Who's going to spot for Clint? I don't have another spotter on my team. that's ever spotted another race. No. Yeah. I mean, definitely.

You can't imagine this sense of responsibility that we feel on race day mornings when we don't feel. I only missed races when I was in the hospital. That's the only time I missed race. And to your point, you had days to prepare for that. I mean, we had Jeff Dickerson lined up for days to come in to substitute for you at Richmond and whatever other races you missed. I remember that time. Same thing when I had kids born. You know, there was two weekends where I knew I had to be home to have kids.

kids born. I made plans to have another spotter. But guess what? That guy was a real spotter. Yeah. It wasn't some... And you planned on it. Yeah. Yeah. And the biggest thing is I feel like you don't know. I mean, you don't even know. You could have it for a couple days in your system and you don't know until you get home on Tuesday. And now all of a sudden you're sick. And now you're all, I put people at risk last week because maybe I had it on Sunday. You know, so I, I mean, I went back and forth at your argument because I think that the both, like, I don't think that they got what you were saying. You know what I mean? Well, let's Twitter with 100 characters.

Yeah. So, you know, I mean, like, I knew what you were trying to say. Like, not that you were like, I don't give a shit. I'm sick. I'm going anyway. That's not what you were trying to say. It was, like, I don't know. What if I wake up the next day?

Like, I don't have time to repair. I don't have time to get this worked out Sunday morning if I feel. I mean, how many times do we wake up on Sunday morning and sinuses or you got a cold or more likely hungover? I woke up in Darlington that morning with a stomach bug. It ended up being just 24-hour thing. did that race, you know, I can say it now because for Dale Jr. with my head down, about three quarters of the race. Yeah.

So. But at any point did you say, man, I'm not doing this? No. No. It never crossed it. That's the point. I was trying to make. Jeff Burton texts me separately from Twitter and he's like, Brett, this is serious.

Like, I think you need to take your own sheets and on pillow cases and all this stuff to the hotel. And I'm like, Jeff, I know how serious it is. I'm telling you once I get on that airplane, I'm there to do a job. and just because I don't feel good, I don't have the, I'm not going to say, hey guys, I don't feel good. Knowing. What would I do now? Knowing right now, though, if this was happening and I didn't feel good, I would probably make more efforts to remove myself with this going on.

But on a normal weekend, you know, it's just hard, though. You don't wake up. We're not normal people. You don't wake up like on a normal weekend and be like, oh, I got, you know, I don't really feel that great. You're going anyway. I mean, I can say, though, if I woke up. Saturday morning or Sunday morning and felt like I wasn't really feeling good. You just said 10 minutes ago you would went and do your job.

But that's like I'm saying if we know there was a, if there's a national deal going on here, but if you don't feel like that, it'd be hard to, I mean, it'd be hard for you to miss it anyway. I mean, if I woke up. You'd have to be pretty bad. If I woke up and I had every damn symptom that they lived. If I woke up with a damn fever and a cough and whatever else, then, yeah, I'm going to try to do everything I can to one get tested, which you're going to have to wait anyway for a test anyway. That's my thing, too.

How are you going to know? Who's going to stand on the garage interest to go? but you got it, you need to go home. Yeah. Like, too many variables. Anyway, I didn't want to bog the whole show down about that, but I wasn't trying to be a I was just trying to say. And once again.

I was just trying to say it's impossible for 800 people to manage themselves under certain scenarios. And it goes across the board. It's not just, it's not just spotters too. The drivers have driven sick. They weren't going to wake up Saturday and not feel good and be like, I might have coronavirus test me. Yeah.

I ain't how this cold. It ain't going to happen. And that goes to the point of when it's all said and done and we're all sitting here, you know, and not racing, like, that's probably the right call. Yeah, I think they made the right call. I don't think racing was the wrong call. Just probably not racing is the right call. I think you want to go back and look, and this is, I think, across all sports, you want to go back and look and say, all right, we probably did too much rather than go back in a couple weeks.

And now everybody's sick, and you go, well, damn, we probably should have done this. You know what I mean? So just do everything you can to stop and hope for the best. There might be a good outcome to this happening with us. This might give us down the road here. We might have some, I don't have any idea or anything, but this tells my personal opinion, I think we're going to end up, like I saw a tweet,

doubling up some races, stuff like that. But I also think there's a, when we go to them places that have two races, like Michigan and stuff like that, that's a great idea. What about, you know, I think we might get some weekday races coming up? Before we get into spot-on, spot-off, let's hear some more about our presenting sponsor, OfferPad. What is OfferPad?

spot on spot off you like it spot off you don't like it and you say why either way CDC recommends in-person events with 50 or more people be postponed for eight weeks spot on spot off tj um spot on i mean safety first right now i think I think, you know, everybody just needs to take the extra precaution and be safe. And if that's what they're recommending, we don't need to, if we can prevent it, you know, if we can do a lot of prevention here, I think it would just be better for the whole country. And the quicker we do this, the quicker we'll be back racing. Brett.

I'm spot off, man. I think eight weeks is a long time. I think a lot can change in eight weeks. I like the way NASCAR did it for two weeks to start with. And I mean, when you look at scheduling, T.J. and I were just talking about this a little bit ago. man, the more races we have to make up, the harder this gets. And listen, we're a different sport.

Man, our sponsors have contracts in place where they have X amount of races they get to run. When we miss races entirely, we put teams in jeopardy. So from a contractual standpoint, from a creative standpoint, it's going to be interesting to see how these races get made up. But, man, I like the two-week-at-a-time approach right now, to be honest with you. Yeah, I mean, spot off for the amount of time, obviously. it puts a lot of strain on a lot of people in our industry that maybe independent contractors and counting on a paycheck every week. But like you said, I think I saw where IMS, Indianapolis Motor Speedway has announced

today that like this is a recommendation. This is not a law. This is not, you know, this is a recommendation for eight weeks. So there's no, there's nothing binding that they say that we have to be out for eight weeks. They, you know, the guys, the IMS said they're going to do everything they can to have the Indy 500 on time. you know, have the Grand Prix, the road course race the week before. So that's inside that eight-week period, I think, or right there on the line.

So, I mean, obviously, I think you've got to go a case-by-case basis. And like you said, the more we can cut this down, the easier it is to make it up. Yeah, man, Vegas is shutting down casinos. The MGM Mirage, they're shutting down full-blown casinos, I'm told. Yeah. I mean, you look at, this puts so many people out of work. The economic downfall of this is unbelievable. you say we're not racing, like that sounds so simple. But in reality, it means Freddie's not spotting.

It means that the fan vision guys aren't selling fan visions. The hot dog people aren't selling hot dogs. You know, good year tires aren't being worn out driven, being driven down to the racetrack on these tractor trailers. Like the fallout of this is gigantic. And when you start talking about people going two weeks without pay, man, hopefully they got a little bit saved. You start talking about two months without pay? Holy cow. Man, that's scary. I'll tell you something else that like a lot of people, then obviously you think, yeah, we make pretty decent living. But like a lot of us, I know me and you are, I'm not sure about TJ, we're 1099 contract laborers. We've got a damn, I don't know what's going to happen with the tax deadline, but in a month, we're looking

at probably a six-figure tax bill coming. You know what I mean? So obviously you got money saved up for that, but I don't know that I got money saved up for that. Plus being out of work for another two months. If you're paying six figures and taxes, you might get a lot more money. I was that's exactly what I was saying. Five figures, five figures. Five figures. But, I mean, Hey, man, I work hard. That's all them races I do at New Smyrna. That's what I was just thinking, too.

Damn. It's not going to have a half-mill on us over here. So a five-figure tax bill coming, five-figure tax bill. Damn, I was proud of you. You and Lloyd. Anyway, fuck off. No, you're right.

It's scary. It's scary times. It is. You can't find toilet paper. You can't find chicken breast. Herm, a buddy of ours that spots for a busher now. He sends me a picture of chicken breasts. Of all the things that I thought my friends would be sending me at 44 years old,

it was not a picture of a pack of raw chicken breasts. I probably sent you a breast or two, but I don't think it had anything to do with chicken. Hey, I'm spot on for all the athletes and owners and stuff, putting up money to cover these people that work at the arenas that are getting shut down and stuff for a while. I think that's really cool. Even Amy Earnhardt looking to do stuff to help the elderly. Like, I look to high-profile people in these situations can be great.

leaders and it's great to see them do that. Maybe we can get the guy that dropped out of the presidential race to chip in since he wanted to... Blumberg? He spent $500 million, or what was it? Yeah, 500 million. Yeah, if he spent 500 million on an election that he'd already dropped out of, he can maybe help some. And also help pay Freddy's taxes. Yeah, no shit. I don't think, Freddy, won't you help some? I'll tell you who started that deal, and I think it was right, like immediately was Mark Cuban. Like, the second they announced they were suspended the season, he did an interview on court, and he's like, I'm worried about it. out my people here. You know, I got to put some program in place to where I can take care of my

vendors, take care of my ushers, whatever. So I think he's got the ball rolling. And then everybody just kind of, I mean, the next one was Zion Williamson, I think, offered to pay for, for everybody in the state arena there. So, I mean, it's just awesome to see people step up. It's going to happen across the board, but it's good to see people step up. And that, honestly, that was one of my favorite things to read on Twitter the last couple days is just people stepping up being like, hey, this is a time of need. That's time to give back a little bit. And they can afford to do it. So it's good to see. I think I'm looking forward to, you know, that,

and more people doing it as well. And you doing it. Yeah, I got to, I'll step my game up. Spot on, spot off. T.J. blocks everyone in the Replacements 100 eye racing race that featured numerous NASCAR industry members. Freddie? What a .

Did you even watch it? Yeah. What did you see wrong? The same thing that the 1,200 people that like my tweet saw. There's nothing wrong with that. I'll tell you what. anything was wrong with it. Let me explain this before you get into it. I did not say anything was wrong with it. I could. I come off turn two and I qualified like fifth and I come off turn two in like third or

fourth or something and I watch the guy lead the race run the bottom line off the corner and then drift up a little bit. One guy swir from the wall down to the, I'm like, oh my gosh, this is like way crazier than I thought it was going to be. You did not have the worst block of the race. That block that Josh drew on Byron coming on the back straight away, I don't know how he didn't get wrecked. But it was just funny. Like it was a restart. I was like, it was early in the race. It was a restart. And I think you were third and maybe Byron was fifth.

And I just saw him dive, like peek out to the bottom a little bit. Oh, DJ blocked him. And I was like, this son's still blocking. Yeah, you don't want to go into turn. You know, you're going to turn three at Atlanta. You don't want somebody getting inside you before you get there. So you'll tell, I mean, I don't know if you tell Clint, like, if a guy's coming, he doesn't have a big run, but it's probably enough to like get a note,

just to be annoying, right? Yeah. So you're like, no, I'm just going to take it away a little bit. And that's all you really do. And I watch their broadcast. and it's like, oh, TJ, blocks, I'm like, dude, all the day is going like this. Just the littlest bit. I'm like, yeah, I just want to do a show of the guy.

Like, look, I'm going to the bottom. You're not getting it. I just thought it was funny. But, dude, William and Josh were. Did you see that one? That was on Twitter. I saw the, I saw the William Joshua. Yeah.

God, if I turned a wheel that hard, I wreck. So, why didn't Josh get wrecked when he made that block? It just picks them up like they're drafting? If he hit them square. Oh, if they hit, if they cross a little bit, they'll wreck. Like, if I would have hung the wheel left like that, I would erect into the inside wall myself. Like, Josh and William run a ton of races every week. So I'm going to ask a stupid question.

Y'all all ran the same setup? Yeah, it's fixed set up. Okay. Should we talk about this at all? Should I? Yeah, go ahead. People are interested. I don't know anything about it.

So we get home Friday, and I'm sitting there getting ready to feed my little girls' lunch, and I'm like, man, we ain't got any race this weekend. What are we all going to do? And I'm sitting there. I'm like, why don't we just? Get a bunch of people together that want to run it. You know, I know enough people in the industry that race, so let's just call them, see if they want to get together and run one.

And I know the guys that do the broadcast, which was the podium guys. Me and Coleman Presley actually raced in a league they had last year, and they did a great job, like short track league. We ran streetstocks at a short track. And it was really good. So I called them, and I'm like, hey, if I put a race together, can you guys broadcast it just for something to do?

And they're like, well, let me check. I think we can, though. So I'm like, all right, well, I'll start getting a list of drivers together. and also, you know Boris from JGR? Yep. He texts me. Yeah, right after I started thinking about he's like, hey, man, I was thinking about maybe we could put together a race. His name's actually not Boris.

Nobody looks like Boris because he's got curly hair like Boris. Like Boris said, yeah. And I'm like, yeah, well, I had the same idea. Let's think about a little B's like I might be able to get some of our guys to do it. So I get my little girl down for a nap and I start, I call him back. And right before I call him, Kevin Hamill had texted me, he's like, hey, we should. put a race on. We should do something. So we got three of us with like the same idea. So I call the broadcast people. They're in. I call Steve Myers at I racing. He's like, yeah,

do it. We're not doing anything this weekend. It's too quick of a notice for us to put on an official race. So I'm just going to get together a list of people. And so I start texting all the people that I know that would, you know, in the industry that would race. Next thing you know, we've got, we've got 35 guys ready to go, drivers, crew chiefs. How many can you race? however many pit stalls are at Atlanta but I thought I was going to have a hard time filling 25 people next thing you know

I'm texting people and you know people are hey this is so-and-so from this management group I'd like to get our driver in there doing it I'm like holy cow my phone went off constantly all day after that as soon as we announced it Saturday big time so we filled the field and you know had Dale Jr. committed to running it William Bowman

Bubba was in there is Dale Jr. Rusty? No, he's good. I know, but is he rusty? No, he's still good. He just got caught up in a wreck, yeah. All right. I saw he didn't have a good finish.

I was like, man, he must be, because he used to be the man on there, right? No, he's pretty good. He's not quite as good as what I am. But if you had won, I might. Let me ask you this. Was there some kind of like, it had to be some kind of reset.

So I gave everybody, I wasn't, because I had people like, I text canals. I'm like, Chad, you want to run this? Because he runs on our racing a little bit. I'm like, I might as well invite him. So Chad's like, Yeah, I'll run. Why not? Fixed setup. So I worked on a setup on Saturday and tried to send it out to as many of the guys as I could so they could go run some laps in it. And just like Atlanta in real life, there's a lot of fall off. So you set the cars up. We wanted to make a setup. I had a whole bunch of guys in there working on it. Like, oh, I think it's a little loose. Well, I think it's a little tight. Trying to find a happy medium because everybody drives different. So we got a good setup. So you set up. So you set up. It won my setup. It was one actually, Nick Odinger, one of the pro series drivers on eye racing.

helped us out with a little bit. And we pretty much just ran it. But, like, I wanted to give them guys some track time, like Chad and them guys. But it was good to see all them people show up, man. I mean, I think... I saw Bowman said he sucked at it. Yeah, he did. He didn't have a good race.

Does he not run this stuff normally? He runs dirt stuff mainly. But we had, I think, once it started kicking off, and I thought we might get a couple thousand people to watch it. But even, like, right before the race, we were... The max was almost 24,000 people at one time. I'm going to ask a really stupid question. I get the monitors.

I get the computer. I get the steering wheel. But why in the, why would you pay to have like a real seat? I don't know. I don't do that. So, I mean,

when I was in your house, I sat in your, yeah, a chair like I was just, mine was just a, mine, I just have a gaming chair. But why,

why would you have that? Well, some of these, some of these guys, it's just comfortable. Simulation, man. Simulation. It's not a real...

It's like a sports car seat most of the time. A seat ain't moving, Freddy. That's simulation. Hey, buddy. But, like, people have some serious simulators, man. I don't have... Like Josh? Like Josh, yes.

What's Josh got in that? Ten grand? Probably easy. Probably easy. But he don't have kids or... Is that five or six figures? He don't have a wife or kids, so he can do whatever he wants. And that's another thing.

Josh goes home and races... Lucky him. He races with his buddies until about... two, three in the morning every night. They run probably 15. He told me one time it was either six or 700 races a year as what he runs. That's a lot. Yeah.

Wow. That's a ton. So I knew William doesn't run quite that many, but William's really good on there as well. But the race, I think, never dropped below. We had a couple of cautions in the beginning, but it never dropped below like 21,000, 22,000 people watching it from that, from once we got rolling to the end of it. Well, I saw your Twitter finally worked again. you were promote the shit out of it. You won't promote our show, but you'll promote the...

Did I not promote the show? He sent one tweet this week. We got one tweet in three years. Seven of them yesterday for the race. One tweet for us. I sent out about four in the last two days. But, no, it ended up being a really big success, man. That's awesome.

You're going to do it again this week? I don't know. I'm not doing a race this weekend, but I think there might be... What are you doing this weekend? Well, there might be another race, but it's all... You're saying you're not going to put it together. I'm not putting a race on this weekend. Maybe the week after.

Just all it depends. I think... Too busy? No, Eye Racing is going to put together a race. They're working on putting together a race with some drivers. All-cup drivers. Steve won't let me in it because he won't let other people in it

because he's like, you guys are going to be too fast. Who's Steve? Steve Myers at Irracing. Let's tweet his number out. We'll fix that problem. I've already begged him. He won't let me do it. But I think what an idiot.

What they're planning on doing this week is going to be fun. It should be entertaining as well. So we'll see what they say. One thing that was unique to irasing, I was watching this. and like the three, probably three, four best guys were Josh, this d'b-a-old over here, Parker Kligerman and William, and Parker was fast.

And he was running like, what was he, second? He's fast, yeah. Second, and you're watching all of a sudden, looks like he blows the right front tire. It goes right in front of me. It goes, he just, you know, darts right. I'm like, so my brother, he knows more about this stuff than I do. So I'm like, damn, can you blow tires on here?

And John's like, I don't know. It looks more like maybe like something happened. Yeah, I don't know what happened. Like his steering wheel came unplugged or something like that? It was him, William, and then me, and we're going down to turn one, and all of a sudden he just turns right, and his car goes head on into the wall. He goes about down the track, and about four or five of them hit him. But to Freddie's question earlier, I had it.

You can set when you create the race. You can do one quick fix, which means if you destroy your car, you drive back to pit road, it'll repair your car completely one time. Okay. From there on out. Kevin Hamlin got to do that? All them guys did it. Multiple times for Kevin.

Kevin. But, yeah, the guys that quit and wrecked out had destroyed two cars at that point. What in the hell was Justin Allgaard doing? No, he made me mad. Did you see the end of the race? I didn't see the end, but I heard Stephen talk about it. Yeah, so I'm catching Steve and Stephan for third. I save my tires.

I ride around there, three-quarter throttle. I'm like, all right, well, the only chance I'm eyes if they wear their stuff out. So I get a terrible restart. You know, I felt like Brad a little bit. And got a bad restart. and I go from second to whatever. Where was that? Second.

You were second. I was second and ended up getting in line on like seventh. So I'm like, oh, this sucks. So I'm like, just saying my stuff. I drive back up through. I'm catching Stefan for third. And all guy comes just like, hey, you want the bottom, Stefan? He's like, yeah, I'm thinking he's going to go to the high side one or two and

and let us both buy. Oh, no, guess who had to lift off a two? And you know, this package is similar to real life. If you have to lift in this package, it's all that. Yeah. So I had to lift. And I'm like, you, I don't. of a gun.

So he was getting lapped? He's numerous lapsed. He was getting lapped for the 35th time. He was out there just rolling around. He wrecked Kevin,

Hamlin. He was out there like wrecked and wrecked again in front of Kevin. That's how Kevin Greg. Justin didn't have a good race. But I mean, I'm just

catch a step and I'm going to get to him with like a lap to go, get third. And no, I'm like, well, and I get super tight and have to lift off a turn to

it's, it's just like, like, you get in somebody's wake. It's like, you got to be real. I mean, it's just like real. I mean, I've never driven a real package like this, but it feels like it is because you have the same characteristics. But good race, good time.

I don't know, Freddie watched a broadcast of it. Apparently it was put on pretty well. Yeah, they did a really good job. They did Jacob Seamman. I've listened to a couple different things with Chili Bowl and some other stuff with him. He does announcing it Millbridge are used to. He does a really good job. I didn't know the other two guys, but they all did a really good job.

Yeah, it was fun. You should try out racing sometime. I don't have 10 grand to buy a unit. You don't need 10 grand? Just need a computer and a monitor and a steering wheel. How much is that? How much do you want to spend on it? Well, that's what you always.

You've been saying that same thing for 10 years. You tell me, you give me, you just bring me a blank check and I'll get you a good thing. Damn, what do you call it? Majeski's like, he's like one of the best ones and he runs on a damn laptop. So. Did he not run yesterday? So no, like, I went to Ty and I'm like, hey, you want to run? This is like, I'm filling the list out and I'm trying to get as many real people that are good.

Tye's like, no, I got another race. I got to run. I'm like, okay, cool. well, about an hour before the race, after everything is all done. And for the broadcast, they need a list kind of beforehand to do their work like normal broadcast. You let Tim Dugger in it, right? Of course. That's funny.

Of course. To Mike Harmon of Sim Racing. He's actually, dude, he's a street talk champion. I saw that little Twitter stuff. Yeah, he's so pumped up about that. But, no, we, uh, oh, man, I tried to get Tyler in. That Howard Long's kid in there, too, right? Yeah, Kyle.

He's a big sim racer, man. I was going to give up his shit. He's like, there's 100 lap race. It's like lap 75. Bubba's trying to pass a football player. Are you kidding? So listen to this. Bubba comes on there, and we're all in, most of us are in a chat room together,

this little voice chat thing, not in the race itself, but outside of the race. Bubba comes on and he keys up, and it sounds like his head's out the window with his mic. Like, it's 80-mile-hour wins, and he's like, can y'all hear that? And we're all like, holy cow, are you in a jet fighter? What are you doing? So y'all can talk to each other? Yeah. Yeah.

And. Can anybody else hear y'all talking to each other? If you talk in the game, you can talk in the game, too, the two separate things. But we have a separate deal, a private deal. And Bub was like, can y'all hear that? And it sounded like Ace Ventura driving with his head out the window. And he's like, yeah, I'm starting to sweat. I got to turn his fan on.

So I'm like, damn. Like, he's so, like, I don't know what this kid does, but, like, they'll play Mario car. They'll run 7,000 Mario car races on the way. It's Mario. And, like, we'll get off the plane, like, to make a stop and so. It'd be covered. Like he just, like he ran through a car wash.

And then he'll be sweating and he's racing the heck of somebody about Rex. Then down the backstretch, all you hear us because he's eating goldfish. But no, it was fun, looking to do some more things down the road. And you need to get a, you need to get a computer so you can sign on there and spot. You won't ever tell me how much money it costs. I asked, I, when we got. Way less than what you got. When we got canceled, I was looking for job opportunities.

I was asking how much spot what that pays. give you $20. Somebody DM me that they would give me $20 a spot for race. I guess if I do as many as Josh does, I gave you $21. All right. Oh, wait, by the way, the winner did get a VIP Hooters card.

Oh, cool. Yeah. Those don't work. For a year. So Josh has a Hooters card? Josh is getting a VIP Hooters card for food for a year. 50 bucks a trip or 100 bucks a trip or what? I don't know what it is.

And then we had a guy come forward and he's making a race-winning jacket and he's taking all of our cars. Our friend Brad Little had one of those at one time. What did you wear it out? We were in Fontana, and our Hooters bill was $400, and his car didn't work. Guess who had to pay a freaking tap. This guy. I got there late because I must have been doing a race to them.

Some most expensive free meal I've ever had in my life. This is the most ridiculous thing you've ever seen. When I get there, there's more food on the table. There's pounds of crab legs and, like, stuff you would never eat at Hooters. Oh. Hooters has great crab legs. I'm like, what in the hell are you guys doing? I don't matter.

It's all free. We got this VIP card. And then the bill comes out and they're like, yeah, this is no good. And Brett's like, what? Oh, I'm in trouble. Yeah. Yeah, well, anyway, it's a good time. Let's hear some more about our presenting sponsor, OfferPad.

Go visit Offerpad. com. Steve O'Donnell responds to a former truck series owner's tweet with a clown emoji. So DJ Kopp tweeted in response to Steve early last week. He said, it's like shooting darts with these guys. How many years have you been working on that package? Can't wait to see all the excuses when the new car comes out. How many times will we hear it's a learning curve or these things take time?

Then Steve responded with a clown emoji, spot on, spot off, Brett. It's like I stole Steve O'Donnell's Twitter account for a hot minute. Here's the guy with the sanctioning body calling a former owner a clown. I actually know DJ. I know his wife or fiancé. She a cop? Amanda, she's awesome. I thought it was entertaining.

I'm not sure. Hopefully it's not something that. I mean, could you imagine him calling Joe Gibbs a clown if Joe. But Joe Gibbs would have tweeted that either. Like, I mean, it's just a... No. I think Steve probably gets tired of some of the crap he has to hear. And maybe he'd had a couple cocktails and called a guy a clown.

Yeah. I mean, DJ's kind of been, he's kind of been critical of this stuff for a while now. And it's probably reached a breaking point, I guess, with Steve. And I don't think, does he still own a truck? Is he still racing? No, he sold everything. He sold everything, right? So now you're kind of like we talked about Cole Pern last week.

you're kind of throwing shots from the cheap seats now. Like, you got out. So just if you're out, that's it. Yeah. I spotted for his truck at Bristol with J.J. Yaley one time a couple years ago, maybe three years ago. But it, uh, yeah. It's probably not the best, probably not the best look for our, I don't even know

what Steve's title is, vice president or something or whatever. But he, he pays six figures in taxes. He pay six figures in taxes. Not quite three. Him and you, you and him. Me and him, we're the only ones. Yeah. You spot on or spot off?

What do you say? I'm going spot off. just because I think it looks bad. Yeah, I'm kind of agreeing with bread on it. Probably sat down. Probably here's a lot of things. I mean, I've seen some of the tweets that people send out when NASCAR made. You can't please everybody.

It's like building that setup. Half the guys are like, oh, this thing's too loose. The other half, this thing's too tight. What do you do? So you can't please everybody. And I think DJ really wanted to be a truck owner and probably just never quite got to. the backing to be really competitive like he wanted to be.

Former tire changer, sponsorship rep for Ingersaw Rann, certainly a guy who knows the sport DJ is. Yeah, but just never had the backing, never had the funds himself to build a competitive truck team. And I think it's a little bit of frustration with that. The cars are always going to evolve. I mean, every year they evolve, no matter what. I mean, it's always going to evolve.

Like, you can't, we're never going to take a car and we're going to run that car for 10 years. It's never going to happen. So I think he's just frustrated. I think they're both frustrated, in my opinion. But spot on for the clown emoji. It's a great emoji to use. All right, last topic. Clint Boyer says it sucks to have to test the next gen car.

Spot on, spot off, Freddie. Spot on. I mean, spot on for anybody that really says what they're thinking. Clint has a very large lack of filter a lot of times. But, I mean, and to Clint's point, And I think he was saying it sucks to test any car, to be honest with you, because testing is boring. You know what I mean? It's the same as any other sport.

You don't want to practice. You want to play the game. But, you know, it is what it is. You got to do it. One of Clint's points was I'm testing a car that I don't even have a contract to drive yet. I might not be racing next year, so why am I testing this car? So, you know, obviously, to his point, it sucks to have to go test, but it's kind of part of the world we live in. Brett.

Good job, Jason. No kidding. Way to do your job. You're like Casey. You're laying down on us. Oh, wait. Huh? What, guys?

Let me check my makeup. I'm spot on for anything that makes Clint Boyer have to do the same thing over and over for eight hours. And it absolutely, like the whole flight home, he's like, what are we going to do for two weeks? I can't sit home for two weeks. I'll go crazy. So to put him in a situation where for 16 hours, Monday, eight hours, Tuesday, eight hours, he was going to have to drive that car and literally do what they wanted him to do. What they'll do is they'll go out and run 10 laps.

They'll come in and make a change. They'll go run 10 laps. It is the most monotonous, boring thing you can do as a driver, do as a spotter. I didn't have to go spot it. He was going to have to drive it. I was spot on, but the whole damn thing got canceled. TJ? Yeah, I mean, testing.

It needs to be done for the new car. I mean, we got to test it. And I think they're doing a good job of getting a wide variety of drivers in there to do it. Almost everybody from each team, I think they all got shot. NASCAR, from what I'm told, NASCAR is kind of picking who they want to drive it. Is that what you're hearing to? I don't know how they did it. Because Lugano's drove it, right?

Yeah. Austin Dillon drove it. Williams drove it. Eric Jones. They've got, they're going one, they're going in manufacturer order and then switching team. So first it was Austin, then it was Joey, Eric Jones, then they went back to Chevy, Byron, now Forge Clint.

Next will be a Toyota, I'm assuming. Which, I mean, that's a good idea. At least they're splitting it up and doing that way. I'm surprised they picked Atlanta to test it. Just because Atlanta is so unique. I mean, we run a lot of mile and a halfs that are similar, like Kansas, Chicago's, et cetera. Like, I'm surprised they picked Atlanta. I'm not really surprised at it because I think it gives you, there's a lot of falloff at Atlanta,

and you want to see how these things really take, really handle after, you know, 20 laps at Atlanta, you're sliding around. Hopefully you want tires. So William, I guess, had a little issue at Fontana, and it cut the test short, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He wrapped up a two.

I mean, at the track where it wears out, too. It's not a little issue if you're wrecking. Well, I want to see these guys have to drive that car. You know what I mean? And if William, I'm sure William, I mean, he... I'm interested because, like, obviously it was harder to drive because he wrecked the car, you know, obviously. That's what I like that.

But at the same time, I heard it was quite a bit slower, like almost a second half, two seconds slower than we were the day before. So it's interesting to know what we want. Oh, yeah. I mean, I don't care how fast they're going as long as they have to drive them. You know what I mean? It's just interesting me that they could be that much slower and still have to handle. And still have to be that much harder to drive.

That's what we need, man. We need a little bit slower because these engineers and stuff, everybody's gotten so smart. We've made everything so good and so fast and grippy that it's just a slot car. So I don't care if we're going to 75 mile. You can get loose at 75 mile hour going down a dirt road down a highway, can't you? Yeah. So it doesn't really matter how fast we're going. as long as they got their hands full.

I think he still wants some speed, but as long as I drive them. I mean, I'm sure he was still doing, you know, even a second and a half slower of Fontana's fast. You're still flying down straightaway. Great news, door bumper clear fans, Xfinity is now on board with us to sponsor our fast lane segment. And to match Xfinity's fast internet will be ramping up the pace of this segment. Casey O'I will now ask the guys eight questions every week and they will have just 10 seconds to respond. No exceptions. And once those 10 seconds are up, I'll keep digging them until they will stop talking.

And I'm assuming Casey's going to be very excited to finally shut you all up from rambling on and on and on. So big, big thanks to Xfinity for making the great decision to sponsor DBC. And for this week's segment, we decided to take your asked DBC questions and implement them in the segment. You better plug your dinger in. Charge it up. We've got a new smartest sponsor in the sport. Welcome on board. Xfinity. You're on the best podcast, the best racing podcast in the world.

Somebody Xfinity made a great executive decision. Yeah, that person deserves a race. That person definitely deserves a race. Promotion. Yeah. And we also need to talk to them about Casey's work ethic a little bit. Yeah. And her love for Dunkin' Donuts.

Yeah. Pictures are included if you need them. Yeah. DJ's got a good picture of that. When you watch companies like Xfinity come in here, though, man, it's awesome because everybody needs the services that they provide in the markets where they provide them. They're out of Philadelphia. I've had the opportunity to go up to their headquarters.

Great company, great people. They love racing. And I think any time that the three of us see companies that love racing, it gets us excited. Yeah, and to see them be involved in a sport and even branch out more in a sport doing stuff like this as well. So thanks, Xfinity, and looking forward to it. Yeah, with our millions and millions of listeners, you'll get your money's worth here. You got the Xfinity series, and then you got Xfinity involved in the Cup series as a any sponsor. And now they finally got smart enough to know that they needed to be here in order

to make this thing come full circle. So thanks, Exfinity. Looking forward to it. Big things. And looking forward to selling some Xfinity Internet service. Get ready. This will be the fastest segment on the show now. Ten seconds each. So get your responses ready. There's a lot of questions here, Jason. I have a feeling this is going to make us want to go there and punch Jason in the face. Have we figured out what the penalty is if we run over this 10 seconds? There will be penalties. 10 sit-ups.

Is this a timed event? If you go over, I'm going to keep digging until you stop. So that'll be the play. I'll stop. All right. All right. Question number one from Daniel C3 underscore 88. If you guys could have spotted for any driver in the history of NASCAR, who would it be Brett?

ABCD. Kale Yarborough, Neil Bonnet, Dill Earnhardt. I don't know who D. was, but I'm going with Dill Earnhardt. David Pearson, that was my D, but I'm going to pick Deler and Hart. T.J. Oh man I would probably say

Benny Parsons I'd probably go with Delarnhart and I would go with Darrell Walter Freddie If I'm going all-time Modified guy Richie Evans being I'm a modified guy If I'm picking a cup guy I'm going Dick Trick

Question number two from Leah and 23 If you were quarantined to one tracks Infield which would it be in why Freddie Hard not to say Talladega but party of Michigan is just as good. Michigan, Michigan, Michigan.

How many times can I say it 10? 6th. Michigan, Michigan, Michigan, Michigan. Taledega, and any of these tracks, except for indie probably right now. Question number three from C-P-O-F-F-F-F-F. Will we ever see a spotter get into the NASCAR Hall of Fame? T-J.

I don't think so, no. Freddie. No, but if we did, it'd be Bob Jeffer. Brett. Freddy's right. Bob's done everything you can do in the sport. He's won everything you can win. All the big races, championships, multiple series. Bob is, his resume is very, very impressive. Question number four from Jay Schillenberg, 95.

Which free agent after this season would benefit most from moving to a new manufacturer? Brett. Ooh, that's a tough one. Larson. T.J. I got to go with Larson as well. Freddie. Make it a clean sweep.

Kyle Larson. Question number five. What happens of all of us agree? I know. We'll have to get some questions. Well, these are all just... I wouldn't a big fan of that question because I don't know. A different team, maybe not so much manufacturer.

All right. Question number five from Dan Petronus... Petronus a second. Yeah, there you go. Would you rather spot a race where your driver runs away with it and you don't have to make many tough calls or one with close racing and every time you talk, your call could cost you the race. Freddie. Winner wants the ball on his hands. I want to make the call. I just want to win. I don't care which way. It's a heck of a lot easier when you lead the whole thing and don't have to race

anybody, but it's not as gratifying as a spotter when you do that. You like to win Teledega, Daytona, these races like that because then you feel like you were really a part of it. Question number six, from Davidson to 2795. If you could add any racetrack from around the world to the NASCAR schedule, which track would it be, T.J.? I would add a street course right now. Maybe, what's the one in California? Long Beach. Long Beach, something like that.

Maybe Miami, something. I don't know. Monaco. If I'm going to add one around here, Irwin. Irwindale for Great Great Great. Monaco. It says around the world. That means we're going to Myrtle Beach.

Yeah. The dirty Myrtle. Not enough hotels. Question number seven from Summering Mike 88. If you had to be quarantined with one driver for 14 days, that's not a driver you've ever spotted for.

Who is it? Brett. Dang. That's a hard one. Danica Patrick. Boy, I don't know. None of them. Freddie.

I probably have to go my boy Clint. I'd imagine that'd be a hell of a good time. You want to sleep? No, not necessarily. I don't sleep. You're quarantined with Clint. That doesn't matter. He's got a pretty nice barn.

All right. Question number eight, the off-the-wall question from Hostler Rusty. Hostetler Rusty. Yeah, that's why Casey. Jeff Hostile. Glad she has to do that every week. If you three ran a 40-yard dash, who would win? Freddie.

I think it's obvious I would kick their ass. Brett. I ran a 4-5. You did not run a 4-5. In high school, I ran a 4-5. I was the fastest white kid. You can't run a 5-5 right now. I was the fastest white kid to go through Central High School.

What year was that? What year was that? How many years ago? T.J. weighs about 100 less pounds than me, so I'm going to guess he might edge me out-ish. I'll go with myself. Because Freddy's, let's be honest, Freddy's just too damn big.

If it was a 100-yard dash and I got this shit all moving in the same direction, I'd be pretty fast at the end of it. At the end of it. Just because you can't stop. I'm on the long run speed. You better over there in a goal post. All right, that was a good fast question segment. Thanks to Xfinity for coming on board.

What about you, Jason? I think you could outrun all of us? Yes, for sure. Jason, you can't even walk without hurt yourself. Are you kidding me? You can't even sit out without hurting yourself. I need a jogging start. I run about 10 miles every week.

I can see me blow him. both hamstrings out, but I don't know if you beat me, Jay's. You look a little goofy when you run. I can run. I run 10 miles every week. I'm trained. I'm ready. 10 miles?

10 miles? Not at once. So I don't think you could outrun. I think me and Brett could both possibly beat you in a speed race. Not you. What are you trying to say? I'm talking about Jason. Why you say you two and not me?

Well, it's obvious. I'm going to use Earl's line. You got a full-body mirror in your house? Look at you a skateboard. Yeah. I got a scoot. from Christmas, a spin scooter or whatever it is. All right, thanks, Xfinity.

They'll be back every week for the rest of the year on Fast Lane, and we'll have some more fast-paced questions like that. Man, we've got some great news here, Doorbubber Clear fans. There's a new line of Dirty Moe merchandise available now for you to buy and sport the Dirtymo brand. That's right. Go to Dirtymowmedia.com. Select the Dirtymohmedia gear tab,

and when you check out, use code DBC10, DBC10, get 10% off your order. Get your gear now. Did you get that tattoo that everybody got the brand? When that Dirty Moe came out, there was this dirty mo posse. There's all this DMPs. Like, did you get the tattoo? I did not.

I watched it. I could smell the skin burning and I'm not doing it. How many guys you think got that brand? Four or five. Yeah. Josh? Does Josh Snyder get it? Yeah, the Josh is the worst one.

Mitch Lash. Josh is the worst one because they did it once and they thought they didn't do it. So they heated it back up and they didn't. Oh, they branded him twice. Right over the old one. And you could see. smell it and it was the worst thing ever so I didn't do it. Oh, I don't blame me.

Not doing it. Ask DBC. Send in your questions 24-7 on Twitter using the hashtag AskDBC. First question from Ms. Place Delini. What is the first memory you all have of NASCAR? Brett. Jason, it would have helped if I was listening to your question. No, I'm just kidding.

I was listening. First memory I have of NASCAR, I was four years. years old. I ended up in an infield at a racetrack with a blue pickup truck, the Colwells. Peggy and Clayton Collwell took me, and I thought the 21 car driven by David Pearson was the prettiest car out there. So I picked that car. It ended up that David was from South Carolina. So I pulled for him for a long time. And then I transitioned into being an Earnhardt fan, went to all the races around Pageland, to be honest with you. I mean, we could drive to Atlanta, North Wilkesboro, Charlotte, Bristol, Richmond, Martinsville. Man, we could get to a lot of race.

tracks from there back in the day. So I was very fortunate. And, you know, when I got into college, I kind of stopped being a fan and following it as much as I was. And when I finished my business degree, I was like, man, that's car sounds like a fun place to be. You know, companies were coming in. And back then, a full sponsorship in the Cup series was around $7, $8 million. But they were putting that many more marketing dollars behind their programs. Like when you saw UPS come in and the Dell Drive the Truck campaign, like you're talking $1.50 to a $1.00. dollar the sponsorship versus what they're doing to activate it. So being a part of that on the marketing business side was certainly a lot of fun.

And man, I mean, you look at it, if people say all the time, if you find something you love, it's like you never worked a day in your life. And that was the case for a long time for me. TJ. I wasn't really big at a NASCAR until my dad took me to Watkins Glen and I think 1990. He had raised dirt tracks and won a championship at Learnerville Speedway in the mid-80s. And my grandpa had owned dirt cars. so I was more into the world of outlaw, stuff like that.

But when we went to Watkins Glen, I remember standing along the fence there, and I got up real early in the morning, and this is right where everybody's unloading. You know, the generators were out there running back then, and I went there and watched just everybody unload. And how old? That's probably 10 years old, 11 years old. And, man, it was watching them, you can't, you see the cars on TV, but when you see them in person, how bright they are,

and then you start seeing him going around the track went out from that first practice on and I was hooked on NASCAR stuff. Yeah, so like I said, my dad was racing when I grew up, so we ran local NASCAR track Riverhead Raceway. And obviously that's all I did when I was a kid. My dad won the last, Isoap Speedways, one of the famous quarter mile oval on Long Island.

I got closed down. My dad actually won the last race they ever had there. So that's when I was, I probably wouldn't even at the track. I think I was only a year or too old. So I just grew up to that And like first cup experience I actually because I was racing all the time With my dad

I never went to a cup race I think the first cup race I went to was I was spot and modified at Loudon So it was probably I was probably I don't know 18 19 years old before I went to a cup race Just because of the fact that I never You never could go like you know we're always racing somewhere

And doing something So that was my first cup experience It was pretty cool though But I've been around it since the day I was born pretty much We would race Lancaster South Carolina Chester South Carolina Friday night Saturday night And then Saturday night, as soon as the dirt race was over, the Super Dirt Late Model.

We go with Tommy Mungo, who I thought was the best race car driver ever live. We would leave there, and that's when we'd pack up and drive all night and go into these infields. And you'd wake up Sunday morning to the PA announcer, you know, and the smell. I mean, like T.J. said, looking through the fence, watching the guys work, it was like, and back then, you kids could go in the pits. I remember Neil Bonnet picking me up and taking me into the pits at Darlington as probably a 10-year-old kid. Like, that's what, that's the, that's the thing about racing is people that grow up around it, love it their whole life. You never stop loving it, you know.

All right. Next question from Ann, 1991 McKinney. What has been your favorite era of NASCAR, TJ? Um, my favorite era is probably, I mean, it's hard to beat the 70s to the 2000s was a really good time. Even after that, I mean, we had some really, you know, I don't think, and it'll give Jimmy as much credit as they as he'll ever get for being as dominant as he was for so long.

I think my favorite error is probably the 70s and 80s though because of the cars. Freddie? Yeah, same. I think that like that mid-80s, Monte Carlos were the baddest-looking race cars ever. Obviously, I was probably four or five years old when they were racing them,

but just going back and watching the old films of them and stuff like that. The guys up on the wheel, driving the hell out of them. So I just like the way them cars looked. Brett. I mean, selfishly, 2001 until 2018. And that's because 2001 is when I entered full-time, the competition side spotting.

I was still on the business side managing Elliott. He was here until 2018. So having made all the friends that I made and having all those friends around, I mean, I saw Dale Jarrett last weekend, Freddie and I did in Phoenix. Like having guys like Del Jarrett, Clint Boyer, Elliot Sadler, you know, and just that whole group of people, we were all here together. And as those guys have started retiring and doing other things, man, I miss those guys. So selfishly, that's probably my error.

I mean, you look at the cars. Those fastback cars, they ran, the big wings they ran. Like, those cars look cool. You watch them move around on the bicycle by-spot tires. Like, that's a cool look. But, I mean, look, our cars are still beautiful. They're still bright. These guys are still doing death-defying moves.

And it's still as great as it was. It's just different. Next question from Sportsball Fan 88. If you could travel back in time to attend one sporting event, what event would you choose in why? Freddie? I don't know. Probably something racing related.

Maybe like the Daytona 500s that they ran on the beach course, that would be pretty cool to go back and watch them run on the beach. You see a lot of pictures and a lot of video of it. And it's a pretty badass setting, so I'd probably pick something like that.

Brett. Oh, a guy asked a question that actually made us think and Jason brought this question on the show. Congratulations, Jason. Man, I grew up a huge Cowboys fan. It would have been cool to be there when Troy Aitman and Michael Irvin and Emmett Smith were all playing in Super Bowls. Pick a Super Bowl. I don't care.

Maybe a Mike Tyson fight. I respect the crap out of that guy as a boxer and what he did as far as working hard to be a shorter fighter that could knock out guys, you know, almost three times. Not three times of size, but they had a lot more reach on him. Huge Gamecock fan. Man, I'm such a huge sports guy. You could literally take me any of those events and I'd be fine. T.J. I would probably go back to maybe an old Bristol race back whenever it was, you know, asphalt, that too.

Just a short trek race, a Bristol, Martinsville, maybe a Charlotte race. Just seeing so many campers and stuff in the around and looked like everything was really relaxed. I think it'd be cool to walk around in that type of setting. Just check it out, see what it was like. I can't believe you didn't pick like the 1990 Super Bowl or any of that era. The night I cried. I don't want to relive that That was a good day for me, but it's got

Norwood, my hero. I don't want to relive that. I thought about it, but I don't want to relive any of them four years, even the Cowboys. Cowboys are just screw the Cowboys. Yeah, the jokes. All right, last question from Tim Allen 19. What was the most awkward date

you've ever been on? Brett. I don't think I've ever been on one. Honestly, I mean, I'll be there dated your wife? That wasn't awkward? an awkward date? Have you met me? There's nothing awkward about me.

I don't give it a shit. So, like, it is what it is. I don't know. I find it hard to believe the first line that you said to your wife wasn't something fairly awkward. No. Well, it probably was awkward.

He just didn't care. Exactly. I don't know if y'all know me, but I don't give a shit. Like, my give me a shit's really low. So, like, I don't, I've never had an awkward date. I don't think, I mean. I did go out of this chick one time named Tara Tucker.

Oh, God. She lived in Matthews. So we were at the Watermelon Festival in Pageland, and I'm clogging, right? That's what I did. I was a clogger. Speaking of awkward. And I'm standing over here on the side stage, and I'm watching this girl sing, and I'm like, man, she's kind of cute. So she comes off stage, and I'm probably 14 years old.

She comes off stage, and she looks like she's about my age. And I'm like, hey, they got helicopter rides back here for $20. You want to ride a helicopter? She's like, yeah. So we go get on this helicopter. We ride around. So I was like, hey, give me your phone number. And back then that meant your house phone number.

And when you called their house, their dad answered the phone or their mom answered the phone. That's true. The kids never answered phones. You weren't allowed to answer phones. So I went to pick her up, took her out to dinner, and the whole time I was out there, I just knew I was going to vomit. And it wasn't because I was nervous. I literally was sick. And so that may have been the most awkward thing I've ever had happened.

But I wonder what she's doing these days. Man, I hope she's good. She could sing. You could probably reach out. I'm sure you can track her down. I'll have Jason track her. Sure, MySpace tracker down. Anyway, I hope Tara's doing good.

She was a nice girl. You don't have her phone number still? Nah. No. Tera Tucker. Terri Tucker, if you're out there. She does have a cool Bronco. I did see that somewhere. What?

A Bronco. Oh, man. I bet you're clogging shoes in that Bronco were quite to sight. I love them 70s Broncos. 80s Broncos. The most famous white Bronco was one major, OJ drove. Did you see that? Did you see that?

John Elway's a second. Yeah, John Elie's the second most famous, White Bronco. Did you see him tweet that picture running from the coronavirus? Do you see that? Yeah. Oh, my gosh. Do you have one awkward date or no? Because I got one.

My wife will kill me when I tell the story. Go ahead. I'd rather you die. So we're just, I don't know, maybe a couple months into seeing each other. And I would have to go to. Megan lives in Connecticut. I lived in Long Island. So she is going to murder me, by the way.

But so I would go up to Connecticut. We ran Thompson and Stafford on Thursday and Friday night. So I'd go to Connecticut and then we'd stay at a hotel in Vernon, Connecticut, which is like kind of in the middle or closer to Stafford. And so me and Megan, she came and hung out. And I had a roommate at the time. So like going back to my hotel room wasn't an option because roommates in there. So we might have been parking the car around the back side of the hotel. just, you know, hanging out.

Whink, wink. So next thing I know, I am surrounded by the entire Vernon Police Department. We've got spotlights. I thought I robbed a bank at this point. So Megan does some kind of ninja maneuver and ends up fully dressed in the front seat. And I am in the backseat, still as fat as I am now,

like this, that's not happening, but I'm not making moves as fast. You were naked? Well, I was, no. What was that? Your do-hicky or do-hate? Do-Funny. Your Do-Funny was hanging out?

No, it wasn't out. I think I got some shorts on by this time. So, listen, this gets worse, believe it or not. They can't get any fucking worse. So the cop comes up to the window, right? So now, listen to me. I'm in the back seat, Megan's in the front seat, and the cops got the flashlight. And he shines it on Megan, shines it on me, shines it on Megan.

Back on me. Goes back to Megan. It says, ma'am, is this guy holding you against your will? I know exactly why Megan would not want you to tell that story.

Oh, my God. So what happened? It's nothing. They just, what the hell are you doing? I said, man, I got a roommate. They're like,

we'll use the damn hotel next time. I said, okay. What an idiot. But I'm telling you, there was 12 cop cars there. I thought like I had just killed somebody. And like, but it was probably,

I was in my vows of my wedding, so everybody else knows about it already. Oh, my God. But it was quite awkward when the guy says, ma'am, is this guy holding you against your will? I'm like, the fuck's that supposed to mean? God, I mean, Jesus. Megan is a lot cuter than you are.

Quite a bit, actually. That's pretty funny. TJ, top that one. I know. Nobody's topping that one. Freddie and the backseat with Doofunny hanging out and flashlights and stuff. Craig and Dayday Top Flight Security pulled you over. I'm glad you guys have me on here full time, and I will never be back.

Megan is not going to be happy about that. What a crazy girl she is. Megan. Megan. Geez. Yeah, I mean, I can't top that. My wife hated me the first night I met her, though. That's not hard to believe.

Yeah, I was... Did you block her? Yeah, that's what happened. I said no. I was like, no, no thanks. She got mad. No, I may have said a few things to her that I shouldn't have the first night. What was your go-to pick-up line?

Yeah, I'm not... I will die. one person left on the show. Me and Freddy will be gone. Bright and Casey stare off everything. Yeah, it's going to be bad. Neither is to say she hated me after the first night, so I had to go up to her the next night. And the next day when I saw her, we were all on a vacation and I saw her and I was like, oh, I don't know what.

I'm like, I got to go say sorry to her. And it was good from there, obviously. Good work. Yeah, no flashlights or cars or anything. I don't know. have a roommate. All right, Brett, is everyone getting an offer pad, DBC T-shirt? Yeah, thank you for picking questions, Jason. That didn't suck. I'm glad people sent some more in.

When you all tweet about it, we get some... Way to, like, not Amish Josh some questions this week. You're welcome, you're welcome. Yeah. And then everyone go retweet the Dirty-Mow show tweet of DBC this week, and we'll pick a random person to give them a shirt as well. Let's have fun with this part of the show right here. All right, so we are obviously missing at least two races.

let's assume that we miss three races just to be in the middle of the whole eight week thing. Instead of saying eight, instead of saying two, let's just say we miss three because after the third one, I think there's an off weekend or is there four and then an off weekend Easter. So let's make it easy.

Let's say we miss four. Let's say we miss half of what the CDC is recommending. TJ, what are you going to do to make up these four races? Run eye racing? No, I'm talking about what are you legitimately going to do to make up the race we're missing at Atlanta, the race we will miss at Texas, the race we're missing at Bristol.

No, like what should NASCAR? What should NASCAR do to make up these races? I would look at the schedule and I would try to align Atlanta, maybe with a close one. Maybe when we run like a Martinsville or something like that where we can get the trucks back, we can go do a one-day show, maybe go and do a Wednesday night, come home, get home late Wednesday, redo the trucks. They can leave Thursday night and let's go run Martinsville or something like that. I don't know.

I mean, just coordinate with the close races. What race is we miss in Bristol? We will miss Bristol. Bristol being the same deal. Texas has a fall race as well, so Texas can turn into a double header in the fall. Two races, then playoff races, right? Yeah.

So two playoff races, I don't know if that's a good idea or not, but I mean you've got to make it up. It's still going to count, you know? These are circumstances that none of us have asked for. We're just kind of put in when we deserve the, you know, give them people the shows they're supposed to have. So that's what I would do. Look for close races.

I'd run Bristol maybe on a Wednesday. They've already done some Wednesday night races there before, so I know they can do it. They've got lights. Atlanta could maybe run on a Wednesday, run in the evening, start around dinner time, run into the evening, get home, and then go from there. Freddie.

Yeah, I think right now Texas is kind of the monkey ranch in the situation where everything else is kind of local or close enough to where you might be able to pull it off in the same week if you wanted to run a Sunday and a Wednesday. obviously Texas is kind of on its own where you're not going to be able to kind of pull that off logistically. Bob Pocker's had a decent idea about, you know, shifting the All-Star race to like the Thursday before the 600, and that frees up a weekend for maybe run Atlanta. You run Atlanta in Charlotte back-to-back where it's not, you know, not a lot of travel there.

We have two off weekends in the summer where you might be able to make up a Texas race there where it's kind of won off by itself. But I like the one, the tweet we read last night about the guy talking about doubling up something. if we miss extended period of time, myth doubling up some of these races? Yeah, I mean, look, there's a few things here that they're kind of weird for us. We've got two weeks off in the summer for NBC to go cover the Olympics. Question number one is, do they even have the Olympics with this going on? Question number two is, because we're missing Fox races,

can Fox reschedule those races to be run on those two off weekends? If that's the case, I think that makes this a lot easier, right? The other thing is, the All-Star weekend, botch it. The All-Star race is kind of like the clash. It's insignificant when we're dealing with a crisis like this. Make it that. Make it be insignificant. Put that as a full race weekend.

But here's the thing that, man, as a fan I was struggling with when we were flying down there to Atlanta, we're going to race in front of nobody. We're going to win in front of nobody. Like, the celebration was going to be odd, sitting on the pole was going to be odd. Like, we're going to have 18 guys at the whole race track with something really good.

It's going to have 18 people clapping that they won. Like, man, that was going to be odd. feel weird to me. So that that was honestly the only reason I didn't want to race is because how can we do this without our fans? And I know they were going to be watching on TV, but man, they weren't even going to be allowed to camp on property. So I was, that was what was tugging in my heart the most. Obviously, I don't want anybody to get sick and us spread this thing even worse. But man, I hope that they are very strategic. And here's the other thing. When we were flying down there and they said, we're going to do all this in one day with no practice. Well, that tells you

that we know we can do that. And that's a big gain. So when you look at some of these three-day that we have and the schedules are the best they've ever been in the time that I've been here. But maybe those three-day weekends aren't three-day weekends anymore when we're doing these makeup races. We have a one-day show on a Wednesday. We have a two-day show Saturday, Sunday, like to be able to make it up and logistically, because it's going to be hard on us. It's going to be hard on the guys at the shop. It's going to be hard on the entire sport. It's going to be hard on TV. You're talking about picking up and moving everything. And like you said, Texas is kind of where you throw in the wrench and go, when are you going to do that one? The other ones are probably doable.

A lot of work, but doable. But, man, I know what you're saying. It would have been weird winning, you know, without nobody there and stuff like that. But I also think NASCAR has consolidated the schedule's enough already. I think it'd be hard. I think they've done a good job. You know, most teams are leaving out on Fridays a lot. We're supposed to be on Fridays coming up.

I think they've done a good job of consolidating the weekend. You know, into a three-day, two-day, it could be a two-day show, But to not put as much pressure on people. They make it a three-day show. Saturdays are fairly easy. But that's what you're not working these guys to death anymore. They're getting half a day at a racetrack to work out, to go hiking, do something cool. Before they didn't really have that.

So I think they've done a great job with this guy. NASCAR's made a lot of improvements over the last year and a half or so. They've made a lot of improvements to the sport and everything. What you've got to keep in mind outside of just what we do. is the hospitality piece, the leveraging the sponsorship and bringing people to the racetrack. You got to give them time. When we got the email that said the sponsors can't come to the racetrack, I wanted to cry. And Clint's like, oh, no, that's absolutely the right move.

And I'm like, Clint, I don't care if it's the right move. We're letting the people that pay our bills. We won't let them come this weekend, even though they have a hard card. Like, that's how, when it's that serious, like, wow, that was, man, there were a lot of things going on that was emotionally tough for me to stomach. But when you look at companies that have bought these hospitals and they're spending the money on the catering and spending the money to bring their guests in, just like the fans are,

they're spending their money to come. Well, companies are doing the same thing for their guests. So it costs people a lot of money when these decisions are made. And I know NASCAR do what they can to make it logistically easy as possible and economically invest on all of us. But, man, I can imagine me in that war room. They've done that a lot lately. They've made a lot of smart decisions on stuff.

So like you said, I wouldn't want to be in there making the decisions for. it but I wanted to race but I don't want to race in front of nobody yeah that was scary I just I don't know maybe I just old-fashioned or something thanks for joining us on this show this week when's our next show Jason that's a great that's a great question we'll figure it out jace before we're done unfortunately I did this two weeks in a row I just got a text um kind of named Wade Cole you guys probably never heard of him modified racer he's the guy he passed away last night an accident in his shop old guy 67 years old um he's the guy you've seen him probably a hundred times or at least probably tj has he's got the ramp

truck like he told like he would drive this thing cross country this low buck as it gets did he'd be out there's like the yellow and black number 33 car wasn't very competitive but he showed it he was at every modified race he was at every race we've had since 1985 when they started the modified tour um so it's just a pretty bad day in the modified world obviously you know that's kind of where my heart always lies and uh but that guy was just a bad been a few accidents of losses like that here recently with David Rogers and there's a lot of

men these guys are heroes to a lot of people yeah I mean they don't they don't know it I mean you've been to Myrtle Beach a bunch there used to be a guy that ran at Myrtle Beach

that we called him the chicken man you know the chicken man Oh yeah yeah He had KFC as his sponsor He used to bring KFC to the race every week And I didn't he was He's like a legend there He's been there forever

But there's a lot of local guys like that And these are definitely Tough times when you lose people like that All right well Everybody stay safe out there. If you find any chicken, ship it to my house. If you find any toilet paper, ship it to my house. I think I got 18 rolls left.

I don't know what I got left. But I only have 18 rolls left because I shop at Costco. I've not found toilet paper since the toilet paper crisis started. Megan wants me to go to the store after the show. Is that even worth my time to go to the store? No. There ain't nothing in the stores. There's a maintenance cabinet here.

I took a toilet paper. I'm just talking about for anything in general. I will tell you a trick I saw. line. Oh, God. And it works. Is this legal? Take your paper towels.

That is not. And cut them in half. No, that's a terrible idea. Oh, no, no. He's right. Yeah, that's like tree bark. Uh-uh. No, no.

No, you're doubling your amount. Take your paper towels and cut the roll in half. And then instead of you pulling off an entire sheet, you're only pulling off a half a sheet, it lasts half as long. But do not use the knife that I used to do it last night because I had paper all over my kitchen. Did you seriously do this last night? Yes, I did it. I'll send out.

I saw it. I saw people doing that. I'm using it. I don't know. But, like, my toilet, my paper towels are not quite as sensitive as my toilet paper. I don't know if I want to go down that route. Well, you got, I mean, I'd rather, I don't know. Six fingers.

Six fingers in my house. You got a garden hose, right? The three seashells from that movie. Stay safe. Keep your sense of humor. Stay away from the elderly. I haven't been able to go see my mom because of this crap. You know, I feel good, but I don't feel good.

But I just don't want to put it at risk. Yeah, of course. The elderly people scare me on this deal. the whole reason we're all doing this. Hopefully we have another show next week, and thanks to Mike Davis for opening the studio up for us. JRM has closed. A lot of race shops are completely shut down for the next 10 days that we know of as of now to try to help quarantine everybody and keep everybody safe.

So thanks you guys for listening. Appreciate you. We don't know when we'll be back, but hopefully soon. Thanks. Stay safe. Check out Dirty Mo Media on YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. Dirty Mo.
