All right, Freddy, have a challenge for you on the next page. You're going to do the intro where you're going to do the intro read. Holy cow. It's like paragraph too. Remember, you're Freddie. Okay. Hey, what's up? I'm T.J. Majors, and we're back after a wet and wild weekend at Martinsville. Today we'll discuss a massive backstretch pile-up, NASCAR testing, short track rain tires, and Rick Ware Racing drama.

This should be a fun one. Here we go. Nobody's listening. But I don't care. I'm on an episode of door bumper clear. Hey, everybody. I'm T.J. Major's spotter of the 22 car and full house. Brett Griffin, spotter of Doug Kobe's modified this past weekend in Marchville. My next race is Talladega Super Speedway up on the roof.

Somebody asked me why you were spotting. I was like, I don't know. He wants to. What's up? Freddie Craft, not 100% sober. And you look like it. What happened? Where'd you go? Yeah, what are you doing?

My biggest disappointment last night was I went to Josh Berry's house. It might have been a little late. It might have been like 1 o'clock. Jesus, that's not a little late. It's a little early. He was sleeping. At 1? Your first Xfinity went, how the fuck are you sleeping at 1 o'clock in the morning?

Well, he's not you, so. I was disappointed. You didn't even win in your drunk, so you're enough for him. Hold on. Anyway. Freddie Crafts, Spotted for Bubble Wallace, Jeb Burton, and I did a modify. Oh, Ron Silk. Nothing went well for me this weekend, so we're going to skip Martinsville.

Casey, how are you? I'm just so well. How are you? Great. How's our producer, Jason? I'm great. Brett saw me at the track. I did.

I was walking in my car when it started raining on, what night was that, Jason? Friday night. And some guy goes, hey, Jason, there's Brett. I was like, hey, what's up, guys? Jason was drinking a Bud Light, T.J. Instead of a white cloth. It was probably empty. And I was like, yeah, he's shots in that bag.

I'll take a shot with you real quick. He didn't have any many bottles. He probably saw you and grabbed someone else's can real quick. Hey, let me see that. Let me look like a man right now. Hold on. Let me hold that for a minute. I just needed proof that I don't drink white claws.

And there it is. Brett saw me in person with it. Bud Light. I was proud of you. Dead honestly doesn't mean anything, Jason, because you still drink white claws. We've seen pictures of your place. Were you wearing a Dale Jr.

Download shirt? No, I was wearing a Dale Jr. sweatshirt, but that was because it was cold, and that's the only thing I had. It was not cold. 70 degrees is not cold. The weather did suck all weekend, though. The weather was pretty bad. I mean, just... Are you shitting me?

Three nights of it. Thursday night, Friday night, Saturday night. Brett, are you allowed to comment on, like, anything? Brett's not, for one thing, Brett is not allowed to go to any race he's not supposed to go to anymore. Because he went to the modified race that he's never been to. Rained. He went to the Xfinity race that he's never been to. shouldn't have been at rained.

I didn't go Saturday night. Still rained. So might as well bring an extra pair of clothes, Talladega. Yeah. Bring a change of clothes. I will say this. Spotting a modified is really fun. I would 100%.

I've tried to tell you this for years. That's your first modified race ever? Yeah, first modified race ever. They're pretty good. I would 100% do it again. But there was a moment when I was confused because the caution came out and the crew chief said, we're going to take three tires right here. And I was like, wait, what?

The next caution, we're going to take one tire right here, and I'm like, wait, what? I am super, I can't help you guys right now. And having been a spotter and having helped with strategy and all that stuff over the years, like I literally was lost. I was out to lunch. But I will say this, if you're a good modified spotter, you could be a cup spotter because those cars are humming around the track. It's not an easy race to spot.

Like, it's hard enough for me to be able to say if you can do that, if you're good at it, Look, there's some guys that didn't appear to be too good at it. Because I saw what looked like a plane crash coming out of four at one point. But outside of that, man, if you're a good modified spotter, you need to keep your head down and keep working hard because you can make it to the Cup Series. I don't know how Freddie made it to the Cup Series. We're still trying to figure that out. I was on the edge of a decent modified spotter at one point.

I just have to say. Don't say it. You look like. Wyndham just texts me. Is Chad finally leaving? Is he coming home? Because Windham thinks... Freddie, you sound drop.

She can't even talk. Windham thinks that you're mad at Chad. One thing I didn't like about the modified spot, no, T.J, is the modified spotters, I thought it was 1987 and Winston was still our sponsor. They smoking and vaping. And I was, I mean, I just saw a chance I call a long dancer up there on that roof. I will never understand why NASCAR as a sanctioning body even allow smoking on the roof during the race.

It is, it's a distraction to people that don't smoke. And I don't want to inhale the shit. So that is the only thing that I didn't like. I don't think they do. They don't allow smoking on that? You're not supposed to smoke on them. Let me tell you something. They look like a choo-choo train up there.

I kept looking at Freddy. I was like, who the fuck-and-and-you-look-down? And you look down there, it'd be like, ate them. Puff-puff-puff-past. I'm like, geez, man. Burn them if you got them, I guess. All right, we're... We got to rush through the show because Brett's got something to do today.

I didn't bring Chick-fil-A, so we're... We're recording an hour earlier, is why I'm extra drunk. This is like the third or fourth time this year We're just moving the show to Brett's schedule Whatever Brett needs The guy don't even spot anymore I know And he's literally going to party in Nashville

That's why he's leaving Oh no he's going to work He's going to work He screwed me over on this whole deal Because we were supposed to do this after Talladega And all of a sudden he changed it on me So now I can't go to Nashville Now I've got to watch him go to Nashville

It's great So we're throwing a party in Nashville At Old Red on Friday night Of the Nashville weekend Everybody's invited It's not a private party You're such a lie. Everybody's invited.

Now, if you can't get in, I can't help it. But you're invited. They're not going to let the whole world in the bar. There is an occupancy thing per the fire marshal, right? But literally, we're going to throw a gigantic party in Nashville Friday night, and I hope y'all can make it if you're listening. A gigantic party, so what is the occupancy of the place? I don't know.

27 people. I will tell you that next Monday. I'm going to meet with a general manager this afternoon to Old Red in Nashville at 4 o'clock. And then I'll have a lot more details. I'll let you know that too But it's going to start early Like I'm going to start No, we don't need early

Because I can do the truck race No, I'm going to start at like a 6 o'clock So it's going to be So it'll be over by the time I get there No, it won't be over It'll be Josh Barry It'll be all night Yeah, I'll be sleeping

Byrd by the time I get there So speaking of Josh Barry I can't even drink I'm the host of the party I can't even drink during that That's a lot Okay Jason's going to yell at me Speaking of Josh Barry

How about that? That was awesome Yeah, it was exciting As happy as Josh Barry is I met a fan yesterday. I was way happier than Josh Barry was. You met his mom? This is a great story.

So I'm sitting in my car. I took a picture of there's a staircase right in front of me and people were coming up the staircase all day. So I said, if you guys aren't waving at me, we can't be friends. Well, when I took that picture, it was a mistake because I made a lot of friends after that. But so I see a guy behind me at the fence. He's like, Freddy. He's all right.

So I roll the window down. And the guy's like, hey, I just made 15. thousand dollars betting on Josh Barry. He bet like $300 on Josh Barry at plus $4,000. Must have been plus $5,000, yeah. And he made, he's like, I just made

$15,000. And he was planning on getting real drunk for the rest of the evening and I do not blame him. But good for Josh Barry. I don't know what Casey and Jason are working up here. What's the most money you've ever won in Vegas or won anywhere off gambling? Gambling? I mean, not really not much.

Maybe two grand. T.J. Most you've won't have gambling. Maybe a three, four hundred. That's it? Yeah, I've never gambled. He's not a gambler. I mean, I figure one of your fantasy pools, you never won one of those?

Does the stock market count? That's pretty much gambling. You ever want any money? Oh, I made $250 at the wizard slots in Kansas. The what? Wizard. That's the most of you ever won. Awesome.

Jason, have you gambled yet? No. You need to teach me the ways. I know nothing. Hey, he'll kill it. Go to Vegas. You know, you should go with Denny. To Vegas.

No, no, no. Denny spends 50 grand to make $5,000. I've gamble with Denny before. He, I mean, back in the day, when Miss Cor's Light was around and we were always out there in Vegas, that kid. Poor Rachel, Miss Coors Light. You know, she's now married to Austin. She got stuck married to Austin. Denny's sitting there playing big money and Austin sitting beside them playing $25.

And I'm like, but now Austin, the new Austin plays for a lot more than that. But the old Austin back then, and then he'd lose his money and then he'd give him a chip. And then he cash that in and get him some green and keep going. But now, hey, good for that kid, man. Sports betting's taken off. I mean, look at our sport. We've got MGM in play now. We've got Wynn and play.

Win. Had a big presence there. And wherever the hell we were, Martinsville. That was Martinsville. And I personally love sports betting. It's unfortunate that we can't do it in every state, but it's coming. I mean, Richmond just passed it. But I think there's seven states now that you can have the bed-M-G-M-A.

I don't understand why it's not legal in every state. I mean, I don't have a big gambler. I don't know the ins and outs of it. But I don't understand why you'd have to go to New Jersey to bet. There's a casino there, right? Yeah, yeah. There's sports book in Dover. But, I mean, obviously, Vegas.

But it's coming everywhere. I mean, technology is just taking it everywhere. The thing is, if you want to gamble, you're going to find a way to gamble. You know what I mean? I think it, I mean, if it's, I don't know. I think it helps our sport, you know. Doesn't it help that state as well? Oh, absolutely.

Yeah. Why wouldn't? I mean, think about the taxes. I think the problem is they don't want people to abuse it and it increase their homeless, you know, situation and it screw people's up. And I get that, man. I mean, it's hard to do for some people. I mean, if they're going to screw the lives, if they're going to do it one way or another.

Yeah, I agree with you. But I think it helps our sport because when you have fantasy players, when you have people like that. I mean, how hard do you think this guy was. cheering for Josh Barry yesterday. That guy? Oh, my God. You mean, he was probably screaming his guts out, right? Which makes it fun, man.

So I enjoy. I really only play football because it's the only thing I really know anything about. But anyway. Speaking of people celebrating, how about the signs that we were getting to? I saw a very good Joey Lugano sign. He spent the racing posted, like, all the pictures. And the Joey Lugano one was honestly, my favorite. You didn't see it?

No, I didn't see it. Hold on. Let me find it. The one with the little kid? The kid. Yeah. Some of these we did it at us. Exfini Racing did all of them.

It's in my timeline about 17 times. The perfect sign doesn't exist. Oh, there's this guy holding up his kid who's a Joy LaGano fan. No. Look at the sign. Are you drunk? Joey Lagando, is that many fans? The only Joe Ligano fan is here.

Is that the kid with a hat on, the 18 hat? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that worked out. Oh. I think Bush or Recton. on purpose. We're talking about it's balance, it's about it. We are? Yeah.

Well, let's go. Yeah. All right. First up, let's hear more about our incredible presenting sponsor, Offerpad, who, Brett, I mean, you just tweeted up a storm. Did you get any good coverage on OfferPad people going to the site? Of course I did. People love my Twitter. Most people. Some people get mad

and I don't care. No, they can't see it anymore, so you're fine. Yeah. The best is, when I retweeted something you said the other day, I can't remember what it was right now. And I got blew up. But I wish I could see that tweet, but Brett block me for... Somebody said that, yeah.

It's like, I got 10 of them. I feel like you get that a lot. I get it all the time because he's got everybody blocked. Nobody blocks more than Brett. Like, Brett block. You block more than Brett, but that's in real life, not on Twitter. So here's what happens, T.J. If you say something that I think is dumb,

walk right away. If I block you, but then I go look at everybody that click that they like the fact that you said something against me that was dumb, I block on. Let me tell you something. Brett has expanded his blocking game because now he is somehow morphed Facebook. Like there's people on Facebook. He's found a person on Facebook and then blocked them on Twitter. I'm going to do a tweet.

I want everybody who was blocked by Brett to comment on the tweet. I feel like there needs to be a support group or something because everybody will tweet us bashing you. It circles over into mine because people tweet me and go, I would respond to TJ, but he has me Blothed and I'm sitting there reading and I'm like, dude, you're not blocked. I'm reading it. You're not like, I don't, like, people just assume that I got him blocked too.

All right, well, what I was trying to get at is go to tweet, Brett, if you're not blocked, go to Brett's page and he talks all about Offerpad, make sure you go to the site, check them out. You get some Denny Hanmel and just put a post out and just say this is Brett's blocked thread and see how many people

will respond to it. Okay, done. All right. Let's hear a little bit more about our presenting sponsor, OfferPad. This is the one let's sell. Gotcha. Home selling with OfferPad is as easy as... Welcome to OfferPad. How can we help?

Spot on Spot off. NASCAR tested short check rain tires at Martinsville last week. Brett. Spot off. We should have tested them Friday night and said, Saturday night. Look, I'm a big fan of this. I don't know exactly where it goes from here.

I haven't reached out to anybody that was a part of the test to talk to them about their feedback. But the reality is if we can run in the rain at Charlotte Motor Speedway on the bankings in one and two, then we can sure run on a damp racetrack. I mean, we saw those guys pit. And I don't know exactly how this correlates to being able to race, because obviously you start the race on cold tires. But we saw those guys come down pit road in the cup race, and pit road was completely soaked.

and they didn't have any problems. Now, once they put new tires on, they were sliding all over the place. But that tire didn't have treads. So I think it's a good thing to at least try because how much time would we have made up, you know, over the weekend if we were able to race on a damp racetrack, which means after the Titans have made a pass and got all the standing water off, we could have been out there running laps. So I think it helps the TV audience.

I think it's entertaining as heck. And the people who paid and took off from work to be there, they get a chance to see racing. I know you probably didn't see this on television, but we definitely had problems getting off pit road. So obviously, if you've watched the race, pit road's tight, especially Martinsville, and you've got to throttle up, and when you throttle up, it kind of kicks the ass end around so you can get out of the pit box. Well, that wasn't happening because you would throttle up and slide and go forward.

Like, guys that should have had room to get out were getting blocked in because they didn't have grip, which obviously the tires would have helped. Didn't have that problem in stall one. How'd that work out for you? congratulations. And slide. But yeah, I mean, I wish we had them this weekend because that would have meant that we were gone three days ago. But I think, so the plan is, from what I understand, flat short tracks is the plan.

So you're looking at Richmond, Martinsville, Loudon, places like that. And I'm all for it. Let's try it. Like, who, why not? Yeah, I'm all for it. If it adds us, we probably could have kept racing. Saturday night a little bit, a little bit more. I mean, we tried racing in the rain with slicks,

so I don't know why we wouldn't do it with Treadit Tigers. I will say, I mean, honestly, NASCAR did a great job getting the track drive, and it was still that light missed off, but the track was good, I thought. All weekend, we were, we did a modified race, and, like, they did a great, like, the second it stopped raining in the modified race,

we were going back to the roof, yeah, like to spot again. Yeah, I thought, I thought, but they did a good job doing that. When we went to the roof on Saturday, I was like, I got out of the car and I was like, there's no way. And we get up there and they're like, put the drivers in, let's go. And I'm like, well, I guess we're going.

So, yeah, I don't know. And that confused me, T.J. I got to be, because, I mean, obviously, I've always been under the impression that NASCAR would only start a race with the intention of running the full thing that night. And it was obvious we weren't running a full thing that night. Yeah, I don't, you never know, though, because that stuff was, it was the stuff that wasn't really on the radar.

And I don't know. I think you... Let me tell you what was on the radar. A monsoon coming right at Martinsville. That was my biggest issue was... Yeah. You know that majority of your sport is probably driving back to North Carolina that night.

Like, I drove home in a monsoon. Yeah, it was pretty bad on the way home that night. Because we got 40 lapsing. Like, was it worth it? Like, what happens if... You know, it just wasn't worth it The weather I drove home in was definitely not worth the 40 laps that we got in that night. Yeah, I think you got to make an effort at it, though.

And what if you never know when it's going to break up? So you got to put the effort into it. I was pretty sure it wasn't going to break up. Well, I'm just saying you got to... Three quarters of the state was covered in green. When you have... When you got that many people there and that type of an event going on, you can't just call on... You know how many fans would be like...

Oh, you just can't do it. There was a window, because if it were the not rain, I bet you now. Guess what? It did not rain. Yeah, but you don't know that. Oh, yeah. Drunk or sober, you still can't predict the weather. I was pretty sure. I was pretty sure it was going to rain.

It changes so much. You can't call until it's actually late or like it's at the track. So has NASCAR mentioned or do you guys think this is something that will be implemented this year? Yeah, 100%. I don't think Richmond. I don't think Richmond is to be ready, but I think Loudon will be the first one they're ready for. I wonder how wet or how heavy of a rain that will go in. I think they kind of...

I hope you guys go in a monsoon. No. Fred's like rain. Doing the rain dance on the side. I'm praying for rain in New Hampshire. You know where it's going to rain. You keep talking shit. It's going to be walking in the glint.

But I... It don't happen there probably. Yeah. We're running it there. I spotted for Elliot. Remember we did that race in the rain? I couldn't see you shit there. But it was...

Yeah. I don't know. Spot on spot off. Contact between Kyle Busch and Chris Busher triggers There's a 15-car backstretch pile-up. Freddy. Look like an arker wreck. It did.

Like, it was a parking lot back there. What do you mean? Griffin Funeral Home 500. It was pretty interesting. They all, it was weird. Like, God, we were in front of it. It just looked like, it was weird. Did you see it?

It was a weird-looking wreck. It was like they got wheels locked or something. Synchronized spinning. You don't ever see that apart. They made contact off of two. and then all of a sudden both of them just instantly spun out. Like a movie. Like they planned it. I don't think.

I mean, I looked back, and we were in middle of three and four. I was like, holy cow, like this is going to be big. I said, there's a yellow's out. There's a huge wreck off the two. I just said there's a parker lot of the backstretch. Just get ready to stop. I think it's intentional. I think Busher wrecked him in a part-purpose.

He just didn't mean to wreck himself because they had hit before that and Busher kind of pinched him down. And when they touched, it was like they got stuck and off they went spinning. holy cow i don't think you're right i think you're trying to pinch him they just kept piling in it's look it's no different than what harvick did to bubba early in the race bubba got inside of harvick harvick got mad when they came off the corner harvick came out on bubba's right front either a trying to knock his fender in or b trying to give him a flat tire and bubba dang near wrecked it cocked him 20 degrees sideways this looked like the same kind of thing but when they touched and hit it actually took them both to the left

and then holy cow some of those guys are still piling in after that right i won't i won't give bubba's quote for that moment, but it'll be on radioactive, I can almost guarantee it. I really, I don't think he meant to wreck on purpose, but I do think he meant to, he was trying to crowd him, but who wouldn't at that point? I think he meant to knock him sideways or get him off the store. Guy hit you into the corner, you're not going to give him any room on exit. I definitely don't think he meant to. Bushers usually a pretty clean driver.

Yeah. At some point, you've had enough. So I actually was glad he did it. And not against Kyle Bush specifically, but at some point, you've got to stand up and say, I'm not putting up with this crap because this sport. will run you out of here if you let people run over you. And literally, I mean, it killed a bunch of race cars. Daniel Suarez throws his water at William Byron after being shoved out of the groove.

And Swarze says, I race people the same way they race me. He will have one coming. TJ, spot on, spot off. I mean, spot off because they were coming to the red flag. You could just walk over to his car and threw him in or something. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. Portover's dash.

It's electronic. Maybe it'll go out. I don't know. We touched on this last year. I don't know if anybody's aware, but nothing is ever Daniel Suarez's fault. This whole deal was the crew chief's fault, the spotter's fault. It was William Byron's fault.

It was everybody's fault, but Daniel Swarer. I mean, he did get sent. The best thing that happened in this wreck was, I told you this yesterday we were in the roof. So, Daniel is driving by. Daniel pulls his two ice bags out of his fire suit, and he throws him at William. And Bubba's right behind William.

He goes, if I was to him, I would have probably used those two icebags to try to put that fucking fire out. Yeah. That was a decent-sized fire. They just let it burn. Like, they were not, there was nobody inside. The things burned into the ground. They're like, ah, it'll be all right.

Branding was on point for camping world, though. Yeah, I'm sure. I am spot off for the fact that William Byer didn't wreck him. He moved him. Moved. People get moved in short tracks all the time. And if you're in the way, and I'm faster than you are, at some point, I'm going to knock you out of the way so I can go on about my business. That's what happened.

Now, Daniel later got in the wreck, but that was nothing. The next lap. That was nothing of Williams doing. William just sent him up into marbles. Yeah. William sent him all the way to the wall. I mean, he did ship him pretty good. It wasn't no bump and run.

That was like, I'm sending you to the wall and that's it. One thing we do know is he ain't afraid to throw fists. Daniel Swear his will swing at you. Yeah, and this is something that William Byron had a good car. And, yeah, Daniel, honestly, Daniel recovered well yesterday. I looked down there at one point, he was coming down pit road under green and lost two laps, I think. Yeah. So good recovery for him, but I don't, I think he's not happy, you know.

He's never happy. Well, I don't, I mean. I wouldn't be happy if I was him either. This is, he feels like William Byron started, this is what put him into position to get wrecked. Is my chair shrinking? Maybe we should do some shirts called the Mad Amigo. The Mad Amigo.

We already wears that mask that has like Yeah, that's from that movie Coco or something. It's the Day of the Dead. Day of the Dead, yeah. Dios and something. It's not necessarily from Coco, but. Well, that's where, I mean, that's what it's like. That's how you know you have kids. I'm pretty sure that's where

it like his mask is coming from. Okay. Well, I didn't know that they exist until that movie. Oh, I was there. I went to Mexico for it. Don't do it again. Spot on, spot off. Joey Logano gives Martin Trex Jr. his spot back after nearly turning him around with 100 laps to go. TJ? I don't necessarily know that we gave Martin a spot back.

We were just lower on the straightaway. And I think Martin was upset, but we were inside of Martin going into three. And Martin kept crowding down, crowding down. and we hit him a little bit in the quarter panel and he went up the racetrack a little bit and then two or three there was someone else involved in there too maybe the nine?

No idea. Larson. Okay, it was Larson. And then they get all jacked up off the corner and then we come off really low because one of them is really slow in the middle and it's just Martin'sville short tracking. It's never Daniel Sores's fault

and according to T.J., it's never Joey. Never Joey Lugado knocked a living out of Martin Truex Jr. got mad and Joey let him go. And I actually tweeted, holy cow, I'm surprised, Joey let this guy go. That was T.J's idea. And it was because... How do you knock somebody? It was because he let him go because he knew Martin was mad and he didn't want to ruin his day. It was smart. Joy Ligano race with a brain. I don't know how you say. I didn't see any of this. I don't know. If a guy's inside and a guy comes on here, that's not, that's... said he hit us with his left

rear quarter panel? I guess. Is that what he? Joy Lugano let him get back in. Are you spot on, spot on? He did because he knocked crap out of the game. I'm curious on how you think. we went in there and knocked him out of the way. I'm sure Jason will have a video for him. I think your chair is shrinking. That's the only thing is shrinking on him. This is weird. I think I'm moving.

You're definitely moving. Something's moving. This next guy, Casey, if you will continue to run the show. Hang on, I almost grip my headset on. We're losing a spotter. I got a slow leak I can't James Davidson

What an idiot James Davidson says Rick Ware Why are you laughing so? Can pull it together Sorry James Davidson says Rick Ware

Get your thing son Effing I know but he won't let me curse You say effing Oh my God Get your effing son under control he is mentally ill he shouldn't be out here what is going on after multiple incidents between the 15 and 51 in the cup race and that's because jason wrote it that way

because he doesn't want me to curse case you should have put effing crazy i don't know you're fin crazy that's a new shirt fing crazy phing g is not a word this is what happened can i say that again because no go go go let's just keep it thing no fin no we're not doing it again. You're fing nuts. How many times yesterday did the caution come out because of a car in the 50-somethings? Or the 15. A lot.

It seemed like every 10 laps watching on TV. They wrecked each other. Like, how badder is getting where the Rickware cars wrecked each other? That's when stuff's getting good when the 50s are hitting scenes. I can't, I cannot say that I disagree with James Davidson. but it was, I mean, what a joke. What happened right there, but he took, I, I was, I kind of caught it as. Is it bad?

Yeah, he tried to wreck him for two lapses. And then he finally, you know, you know what wreck it was. It was the, like, it was Friday night when they wrecked, uh, or Saturday night, whatever day. Um, there was a car parked against the wall off of a four. That was that wrecked. Oh, that was, yeah. They wrecked each other. Like, so early, too.

Yeah, like, it was like lap 30. Oh, boy. Well, Freddie. 50 somethings. So spot on. Spot on. Just keep wrecking each other and get your asses out of the race so we don't have to deal with your rest of the night. I am willing to bet that T.J. Majors makes more spotting a race than those guys make driving those race.

100%. I mean, some of them don't make money. And I'm not just saying T.J. alone because I think probably half the roof makes more. But I'm willing to bet that as a spotter, T.J. makes more than those drivers. Do you think the sun make? anything for driving a lot of these guys don't make anybody. He makes himself looking at an idiot.

You are making some friends. He's going to race the N-500 now. Oh, man. I mean, I'm just making a statement. I mean, I sent out a tweet yesterday that I can't believe some of these drivers continue to get in these cars. And who was top of...

Who were you talking about? Who was top of mind, believe it or not, when I said that? was John Hunter Nemechek because I watched a guy that I think's a pretty good driver you know he wasn't in a race put himself in a bad situation but what I looked at I was like

but you know how I think I think different and everybody I'm well aware but the light that goes off in my head is not somebody in this race it was why did Bobby Lebon get in that 96 car he was a champion he'd won all these races why would you do that to yourself

and then but the real light that went off in my head was like John Hunter Nemech is the smartest guy in this race and he's not even in this race because he got out of a car that's not any good and went and got in a car to run well and market himself so I was watching all these things go down so then all these names just start running through my head I'm like John Hunter Bobby the Bonnie you know list goes on along like why do that to yourself Terry the Monty that is getting us the late in his career why do that to

yourself I'm too competitive to go do that plus when you look at guys Ross Chastain came to mind why would you get in Johnny Davis's car to run 20th in an expendity race in Turn around next day getting a car that runs 30th. Like, you're a better race car driver than that. Figure it out, find a way. Do what Josh Barry just did. Like, I don't know. I just, so many names are going through my head.

I was like, why would you do? Why would you go out here and be miserable? Didn't James drive a Gibbs Xfinity car at a road course a couple times? I think he did. I think like mid, uh, maybe mid Ohio or another one up some, I remember him. Road America. Yeah, man, I think rode a, uh, it was a couple of them. But they made the announcement, this guy's not going to run Indy car anymore.

He's going to focus on. in his cup career. Well, if you're going to do that, I'm going to tell you something. It ain't going to happen at Rick Ware. You don't think he's going to be able to do it in the 15 or 51 or whatever the hell. He won't finish on the lead lap. You remember the Indy race? He ran the Indy 500 last year.

His was the car that caught on fire in the beginning of the race with the hub or whatever in the right front. So obviously what are you saying is he makes bad decisions? I think that was a Rick Ware car, I think. It was actually a Rick Ware car. Yeah, yeah, it was. James Davidson. Here's a news slash.

Get the fuck away from Rick Ware. Bad idea. Geez, oh man Well, spot on... Good thing Freddie's not flying today. It wouldn't let him. Good thing he's not spotting today. Or going to the track.

Spot on, spot off. Jab Burton sent to the rear for naught. Choosing his restart lane fast enough in the Xfinity Series race. Freddy, you clearly have an opinion. No. What happened? Well, this was a simple case of

they had their minds made up that they wanted to penalize somebody, and we got the penalty. So it is what it is. There was the first restart of the night got waved off because the choose rule got backed up and guys weren't choosing. So that pissed NASCAR off. It was literally the entire top 20. Yeah, the whole field did it.

So then everybody got a warning the first time. Second restart got waved off again, and they picked out like, I think it was like 10, nine, there's like five or six guys. They picked out. So then for whatever reason, they were kind of keyed up on us. I told Jeb, Jeb was close. He stayed closed up. And there was a little bit of gap when I think the 18 was in front of us, Daniel Hemrick.

He chose, like what happens is you roll up to the choose cone. You're kind of going slow because you're waiting to hear what lane you're going to pick. When I say or Brad or T.J. says, all right, go top. You pick your lane and you throttle up to that lane. Well, when Daniel Hembrick throttled up away from us, it created a, a three-car gap maybe. 300 feet. Yeah, well, they told me it was 300 feet.

That's the length of a football field. That is literally the length of the front stretch of the margin. I went, I asked Tim Berman, who was the race director at the time. I said, you know, what happened there? Because there was a rain delay. We were going back to our cars. And he said, oh, you guys had 200 feet. You had 300 feet in front of you one restart and then 200 the next restart.

And I'm like, well, I'm thinking of my head. I'm like, doing math. I'm like, that's like 70 yards. There's no way to get in your head. No, in my head. I'm so smart, TJ. You don't understand. used the data.

Just 210 feet. Really close. I was close, all right? Really close. So I was like, that's a lot. Like there's at least half the front straightaway. I'm like, no, I don't think. I mean, that is.

I don't think that we had a 70-yard gap in front of us. But whatever, like I said, they had their minds made up. They wanted to make an example of somebody and it was us, unfortunately. And I should thank them because it kind of helped us get track position for later. The main reason I'm spot off on this is, is this a rule? No. that if you're not closed up enough, you get black flagged at the choose cone rule. And then if it is a rule, what is closed up enough?

And if this isn't a rule and you made it up on the fly and you penalize the 10 and the 61 for not being closed up, for something that's not a rule, that's where I have a problem. And I say this so many times. We have too many rules in this sport. But this rule needs to be in place if it's going to be a rule. Don't make up something like this on the fly and send two guys to the back. Because in that particular restart that Freddie's talking about, the minute Freddie said take the bottom.

Jeb went to the bottom. If there was too much of a delay or too much of a gap, it sure's hell wasn't 200 feet. You got to tell them teams, hey, this is a penalizing offense. I'm not aware of that. If these other two brilliant spotters are, then maybe they're just more than there and I am. There's no rule.

Clint would, you might as well. I mean, you would have been in the back every week last year. Clint just go ahead and line up in the back. So he doesn't worry. Yeah, Clint needs at least 300 feet. Because he always had a gap. I'm, it's, I'm spot on and spot off for it. You can't be both.

Imagine that. I've got to be because I'm spot on because, so I'm watching, I saw that, I'm watching SMT during the, and I saw the field, like the pace car, the first car is three quarter way down the backstress and the end of the field just off where I'm like, oh, this is going to be good here. They were, it was terrible, like the way to get lined up. But we've also talked about fixes for this. We had on the show, year one.

For years. We've talked about a fix for this. so you know there is and honestly i don't know why it you're adding 40 seconds to maybe something like that i don't even know how long a pace lap is there but can't be long but any short track's short so i'm spot on for them kind of making because it was getting kind of carried away i'm spot off for you know somebody having to deal somebody actually happened to get a penalty for it because it is race changing but sometimes like freddie said that put you on the opposite in you know what i mean and you survived that part to get to where you ended up.

We were fired. But the thing that bothers me about the whole thing is they minimize the effort that we put into choosing a lane. Like they're like, what's your problem, guys? There's only two lanes to pick from, pick one. Like, okay, that's not the way this works. Well, yeah. And there's a lot. Listen, man, we science this stuff out.

Yeah, I've got pages of data for what lane works. Exactly. We've science this stuff out to where. And it's all so fluid. It takes a couple seconds to, you know, and it happens quick, man. Pace laps aren't like, it isn't like take a break, you know, get a drink. It's like, okay, now you're seventh. You got six cars in front of you.

If this guy chooses this, how many, you need to go here. There's a lot more to it now, so, and that adds up to it. Do you like the choose rule? I do, but I also don't think there, when you take it from a local Saturday Night short track, you're a race, you're talking. A lot of these places that choose have 18 cars. you're not lining up 36 cars at a short track at caraway and trying to get them all line in one lap we've got double the amount sometimes triple the amount of cars they're

doing the choose thing with look at beaum and gray how many modifies they get there 20 maybe yeah and after and half of their what is there 15 really they're 15 competitive ones five kind of hang around the back so you're really doing a third of the cars it really matter where they're going to line up the rest of the guys just kind of pick whatever is open so and this is there's a lot at stake. So, you know, it's going to take a little bit, actually. And we've talked about it. Just two to go, doubling up this time.

Save yourself. Give the guys a whole lap to do it. We talked about that before there was even a choose cone. Like, just double up, get the lap cars out of there, double up two to go. All right, you're coming back to one to go. One thing that messes this up as well is it gives you an extra lap. We kind of gained on this. The 12 got a penalty really late.

In the middle of the choose. I'm hollering at Joey where he was just going across it and they're like, I'm like, go to the bottom, he's got a penalty able to go the bottom. I'm like hollering at Joey to go to the bottom. You weren't up there, obviously. We are literally, the first three cars had already chosen. And they go, I saw it.

So the 12 dragged his gun out of the box. And I was talking about it to wheels. I'm like, damn, I guess 12's not getting a penalty here. Like he just literally just drove over his hose and dragged it out of the box. I guess he's not getting a penalty. He got away with one. We go to the front street. edge and we got like three cars into the shoes.

They go, uh, 12, 12 to the rear. 12 is in the middle. He chose the bottom and I'm like, go take the bottom. Yeah. Because there's one less car on the bottom now. You can't have that. That should have been, all right, hold on. We're going to wave this off.

We've got to reset this. 100%. Because that was a, that was a monumental screw up. Somebody was on the bad end of that. I don't know who it was. I was on the good end of it, but I mean, I was too, but somebody that, that chose right in front of us might have chose the lane they didn't they would have went I literally picked the bottom only because the 12 was on the bottom it's not fair to that guy um honestly well we were the

next car behind the 12 so it didn't you know but somebody got the bad end of it yeah for sure my favorite topic of the year probably adam sturm tweeted that NASCAR is working to open its infield backup to guests starting next month at darlington spot on spot off brett Casey wants to get to the driver's wives back in the garage I actually want to get the people in the garage

that pay the bills which are our sponsors I am so excited that NASCAR is implementing this policy that's going to put our people who pay the bills not the cheerleaders

the fucking people that pay the bills back in the garage cheerleaders can watch from outside people that pay the bills need to be inside spot on Adam Stern about women and men

like paying the bills what's wrong with you I said industry members. There's a lot of women who are executives who pay the bills in NASCAR. Stop talking. I literally hate you. You didn't even bring Chick-fil-A this morning. Spot on.

This is a huge step in the right direction for us in all seriousness. We need our sponsors and our VIP guests back inside. And I go for my second vaccine on Wednesday. And this is hopefully enough notice to get everybody an opportunity to get that vaccine and get them back in the garage where they belong. If we can all go sit in a suite together, then we can dang sure stand outside together. If we could ride on an airplane together.

I'm about to do that in a minute. So that's the deal? They got to have vaccine to get in the garage? I think that's what's going to happen. I don't know exactly what the tweet said. I just saw some people talking about it. And I think if you've been vaccinated and you can prove it or you can show up and have a negative COVID test on site,

I think you should be allowed to. I mean, the Yankees did it. Yeah, I think that's the way the baseball is going. Oh, my gosh. You see that Texas Rangers game? Yeah, slam packed. 100% capacity. No, it was like 110% capacity.

But listen, NASCAR has done, we were the first sport maybe to get back. Oh, we were the first sport back. Yeah, we were. And we have not had any hiccups at all. We've had a couple instances where there's been, you know, some things happened. But, I mean, it was handled and it did nothing happen from them. Like, it didn't carry over. It didn't lead to anything else.

So NASCAR, everything they've put in place to get us back. and be safe with it has been great. So it's great to hear they're slowly expanding and doing things like this. And, you know, there's some people in the suites already. And this is the next step. So this is big for sponsors, man. This is huge for sponsors. It's a weird spot, right?

Because the sponsors pay a lot of money to be on the race car. They pay for the access. They pay for the driver to come and sign autographs and to be able to come to their suite or go out to their mobile marketing display. They're not getting any of those things right now, and they don't understand all the time that the NASCAR garage access isn't something that teams pay for.

So when all this goes down and the sponsors say, well, I want some of my money back. It's like, well, our costs are still the exact same. We don't pay less money to NASCAR just because you can't come in the garage. We still have our tire bill. We still have our hauler going up and out of the road. We still have our employees.

we still have to buy all these things and we're still racing 500 miles on Sunday. Those costs didn't change. So this is why it's important, man, is because those sponsors are paying for all those things and they're getting one small piece of it, which is their logo on a race car. So this is a huge step in the right direction

for all our sponsors that are out there, no matter what level you're at. If you're a track sponsor, a race team sponsor, a NASCAR sponsor, huge step, Freddie. I agree. I think what will be interesting, though, is there's a lot of corporate policies around, like, you know, bringing people to track, providing tickets. It can be a liability if something were to happen.

So I'm curious to see how sponsors approach it, especially as they plan for 2020 budgets, which I know a lot of us already are. So should be interesting. This is like a huge reset for everything, too. Yeah. Like now to get back in, you're not just going to, all right, yeah, you know, you four can go, bring your family. Now it's going to be, okay, well, we're bringing these executives. And it's been a huge reset for almost everything, I think. NASCAR named a new CMO last week, and I think you say the word reset.

I am sitting here as a marketer and a sales guy in the sport, and I want to know what their rollout plan is now that we do get, quote, a reset. Like, how do you go and re-engage our fan base? Because look, man, I'm telling you right now, yesterday watching that race on television got on my nerves, because they would zoom in so tight and they would only show one car on the screen or two cars on the screen.

And I compare it to, if I watched a football game on TV, they don't zoom in on just the quarterback every single play and then hand off the ball and then stay on the runoffback. You get to see everything that's going on. And so when I go to the racetrack, it's a hell of a lot better experience than watching on TV. We are the only sport, in my opinion,

that being at the sporting event is better than watching on TV in today's world. And the reason TV in today's world has gotten so good is the freaking graphics. the television, the cameras, the fact that you don't have to wait in line to pee, you don't have to wait in line to get a beer. But at the racetrack, you can see so much more than television is offering you. So what is NASCAR going to do to make all these people feel confident,

hey, we got this, we've got the experience, because right now there's not a lot there to do. Why? Because there's not a lot of people there. You can't, as a company, say, I'm going to spend millions of dollars if you're pit boss grills to come out here and set up this gigantic marketing display, and the governor of Virginia let a thousand people come to the racetrack. So I'm really excited to see what the CMO and the new leadership in the marketing department comes out and says, hey, we need a post-COVID plan and this is what it is. Do you think, so I know what you think because we've talked about this, but campers, you know, we've talked about the fact that it's all one day shows now.

Is this going to hurt, like, why would you go to the racetrack now if you're only going to see a race on Sunday? That's what we were talking about. And if I'm NASCAR, I'm working. about that because when you get the Phoenix and we look off the back of the roof, it's campers from miles. I mean, it's bigger than probably most towns in the state of Arizona outside of Phoenix. And so how do we attract those people if we're doing a one-day cup show? I'm worried about that. If you're doing one-day shows, you have no, there's no reason why you can't put more series there. I think NASCAR did a great job a few years ago of making, like, or at least the tracks of making

it more of an experience where they have concerts on like Friday nights after the race. They did a lot more to really fill up the. weekend and make it work while. I would do concerts in the evening. And I think I think I see that coming back like safely eventually, but also I mean think about some of the tracks that are in pretty cool towns and pretty cool areas like Sonoma. Lots of races and concerts. It's expensive right now because gas prices are going through the roof. It's expensive to bring a camper, an RV to a racetrack. Now think about it. Are they going to go Friday and Saturday to watch a truck in Exfinity race? I don't know. I don't think.

think so. I don't think my family would have growing up. We went on Friday to watch practice and qualifying for the cup cars. We went on Saturday to watch Happy Hour for the cup cars. Oh, it just so happened there was a Bush race that was going to break out. We went on Sunday, obviously, for the Cup race. We went to see Del Earnhardt. We went to see Neil Bonnet. We went to see the Cup guys. We didn't go to see the Bush Series drivers that were coming up through the ranks. Nothing against them. It just wasn't what drew us there. So I mean, I think Freddie's got a good point. Yeah, but a lot of people came because they had garage passes. where they had access to the fan walk.

There's a lot more to it. And I think TJ has a good point, too. I will be the happiest person in the world if they one day have a super cross race, like they did Atlanta and Mother Speedway and a NASCAR race the same weekend. I would love to get to that point or bringing another series in to TJ's point.

There's still no other sport that has the culture that we have. I mean, I've camped on infields my entire life, and I'm telling you, you can leave your lounge chairs out, you can leave your coolers out, you can leave your food out. Nobody's going to touch a dang thing. Our fans are such honest people, and they're there for a good time. Most of them bring their families. It is truly an amazing event.

But post-COVID, how do we make them feel comfortable and how do we make it attractive to them? Because everything has changed for every sport in this country. To me, they're there because they're race fans, so give them racing. If they're one-day shows, bring the K&N series in there a day before. Modified. Bring the Modified. Run the K&Ns on Friday.

Run Xfinity on. that truck, whatever. Bring race cars. Race cars attract people. So with that said, we've all seen our grandstands before COVID got here, right? And we've all seen that they weren't for the most part sold out. So if we do that, TJ, and I buy a cup ticket that cost $130, should that ticket get me in all weekend? Yeah.

I mean, you should get a weekend ticket for all the races. I wasn't a big fan of yesterday. Like half the race, half the Xfinity race yesterday was spent on the big Jumbo Tron telling everybody that had to get out. Like, I wasn't a fan of that. But you had to do it, though, because if you don't, it's not that they didn't want to let him in there. Normally, they do let him in there for free. Yeah, they have to go to.

And if you have a cup ticket, and you can't get in because Freddy's in there with an Xfinity ticket. But if you had a cup, I would imagine that I would say, what do you think, half the people there, at least half the people, had a ticket to both races. Like, you would think that you're not going to just go to the Xfinity race. Everybody there is to see the cup race. So you're more than likely there for both races. But now you've got to get up, move your all stuff, get out. It was like herding cattle out the gate. It was a show to watch.

But I'm just saying if you have a ticket to both races, you should be able to go, hey, I've got a ticket for the cup race too. Don't kick me out. Freddie is saying is if you had a cup ticket and an exfinity ticket, they kicked you out after the Xfinity race, they made you come back in. Freddie thinks that's dumb. But I mean, here's what I think is just odd.

this is on the government, this sitting on NASCAR. I'm in a suite on Friday night. Guess what? I guess how many people were in that suite? However many people had a chair. For every chair, there was a human in there. But then you go outside and they're spread out and there's doors. It makes no freaking sense what we're doing.

But anyway, I just want to see a huge rollout of what we're going to do to make this go back to where we were pre-COVID because the world has freaking changed by a lot.

Hey, Freddy, just letting you know we got the beige GMC out in the parking lot in case you want to have Bubba come out and hit us like you said everything else on the track. All right, we're sitting here for about the next 20 minutes or so in case you want to come out and hit us like you hit everything else.

He is not lying. Freddie, when you were spotting where you guys is drunk as you are right now. No, I was fairly sober yesterday. Andrew, that was the most clever one we've got you. That's pretty good. We looked like one of us was drunk. I think it might have been him. Hi, it's Julie from Sydney, Australia.

unannounced just play it because that lady deserves to be heard del Jr. deserves to hear that yeah next one is from Caleb nobody's listening but I don't care I'm on an episode of door vaude. Well, T.J. He's going to block and Freddy's going to suck Danny Hamlin off and Brett. He's always mad,

but who cares? He's just a baseball dad. We can't keep donkey in line because the owner is on his mind. I hope Casey's doing well, causing husbands in love with Christopher Bell. Well, the guy's sucking, so does this show, so I'm going to

listen to the deal. Oh, my God. That's really good. That's the best one yet. That is really good. We have a new winner for reaction theater. I'm still partial to Peyton, but. That Gild of Dilders ass was still my favorite.

But that's pretty good. I know. I do find myself sometimes singing that darn Blake Shelton intro, though. I've caught myself singing it all the time. And I feel like an idiot when I do it. Well, you are. Well, you are. I'm like, as soon as I see Jason walk in here, that song pops

in my head. Get out of... Yeah, I mean... Baseball, Dad, we had a... I had a good weekend. You didn't have such a good weekend yesterday, but that was fun. Yeah, we kicked tail on Saturday, and we got our tail kicked on Sunday. It's all right. That's our first tournament of the weekend. We were the number one seed going into Sunday. We just didn't hit the ball.

But that's all right. Bodie had a new strategy yesterday, though. He was playing left center field for the first half of the game, and he would just let the ball roll by him. That way, they'd let send the guy to second, and then he picked the ball up and throw the kid out a second. He was baited him. I was like, Bodie, great. strategy today. Let the ball go right between your legs and throw them all out a second. I mean, he was like three for four doing it. And I was like, man, we got to work on this.

But he's kind of new, new er to the outfield. He'll get it. The ball jumps around on that uneven, uneven grass, you know. Yeah, bounce. It was fun. It was fun. Saturday was fun. To leave an audio message 24-7, go to anchor.fm backslash door bumper clear and click the message icon. We'll play the best ones each week on the show. Yeah, thanks for the song, Caleb. That was great. Yeah. It was a good job. Yeah.

Opera pad. Question of the week. Freddie, since you are sober, do you have a man cave in your home? If so, what's in it, and where is it located? John's room. It's John's room. John took over my man cave. No man cave.

I'm in the process of maybe building one, but John did take it over for irasings. Does that mean you're sealing off the garage? No, the garage is still... Parkable? It's still parkable, but it's still parkable, but it's... It's usually the party room, but when everybody comes over. I think you've got to make the garage a man cave or make your dining room a man cave. The front room is going to be the plan.

What's the holdup? John. John took it over. It's his eye racing room. Sounds like it's a man cave already because I don't see Megan in there. So no man cave, but we're working on it. I've got a man cave slash office. And if you guys watch me and Freddie and Hannah do the broadcast last year when

we were doing the iraicing stuff. That was from my quote man cave. I just got a lot of cool memorabilia from the years in there. A lot of racing stuff, a lot of non-racing stuff. Big ass bear. There's big black bear in there. There's another big black bear coming that's a lot bigger than the one that's in there. A couple deer heads.

So that's definitely my go-to place to get away from everybody else. It's getting on my nerves in my house, which is frequent these days. No, that's the exact opposite. You're getting on their nerves. Yeah. Honestly, that's what they get rid of you. It's my favorite room to watch TV in because I can go in there and turn the TV up as loud as I want to

and nobody's fussing about it. I don't really have a man cave. My office, maybe. The man cave that I, when we moved into this house, I thought was going to be upstairs in slash playroom now, which it has a plastic slide in there that Freddie would not fit through. A couch, toys, dollhouse.

Kids take over every room. That's what Chad's man. Cave has become. He has an irising sig and now a rig and now it's the playroom. Where's the Christopher Belshireen room? Anyways. Well, congratulations, Casey. I got a role because I got to get to Nashville, but congratulations on making up a word today. Fing, F-I-N-G will be added to the dictionary.

It's my mistake for- And I have to give you an award for it because I have to leave. What an idiot! It's honestly because I forgot to read the show sheet before I got here. I'm really sorry. I thought it was Jason trying to tell me not to curse. But you can curse. Your face, whenever he said wives in the garage, you were cussing without cussing. Especially because I'm so mad today since we had another rain out and Chad's still not home. I think he's on his way.

Wyndham texted me that he were getting on a plane. He better be on his way home. All right. Hey, Brett. What's up? Get the fuck out of you. I'm out. You boys have fun.

Who's your pick? Well, he picks last. I pick last. Yeah, y'all too. So let's do it now. Who goes first? TJ. TJ go.

Shoot, man, you can't. Where are we going? Where are we even going? Richmond. Why is Xfinity Series not at Bristol, not at Richmond? I know they're not at Bristol because of the freaking dirt, but come on, man. These are two awesome racetracks. The Xfinity Series needs to be at these places.

Try to buy you some time. I know. I don't want to pick the guy that I want to pick because they've been way off this year. Yeah, a guy I want to pick is already been picked. I'm going to roll with Kyle Busch. You, that's who I was going to pick. Yeah. Point.

My day just got better. Mark Tan Truax. Quinn Huff, what? Mark Truex, a short track ace lately. Guy couldn't win a short track to save his life. Now he won tomorrow. Now that named a track after him.

Man, I'm going to have to be careful here because I don't, I want you guys go head to head. I don't know that I have anybody even good enough to run with those two that you picked. And T.J. stole my pick. So I'm going to go with. Winhoff. Yep.

It's Houth. Remember, we've already got trouble for that. Yeah, I was going to say, what? What are you? I'm going to load up on the blocking machine. Mr. Joy. Oh, nice. Good luck. Hey, have fun. Y'all have fun. I'll have a beer for you guys in Nashville tonight.

Don't have any for me. I've had enough. See y'all. Thank God that a-h-h-h-h-h-h-h out of here. Yeah. It's time for us to get our favorite X-Finity X-Fi more than fast moments from the week. Whether you're behind the wheel or online, speed isn't the only thing you need. So, Freddie, what were your more-than-fast moments this week? I got to say my more than fast moment was old Josh Barry putting the bumper to tie Gibbs. I had looked up and I thought there was going to be some fireworks because this was probably one of Josh's last opportunities or best opportunity to win a race. And he got it done.

So kudos to him. Put the bumper to the guy, get out front and control the race. Yeah, I got to go with my more than fast moment. It's going to be Matt D. Benedetto finishing P12 after multiple incidents. trips down pit road, missed the big wreck. When he missed the wreck, I actually seen him crashing into the wall and the outside going by the 47 and still rolls home with the P12. So good job, Matt. That's my more than fast moment of the week.

We like it fast here on Doorpiper Clear, but what we really like is being more than fast. Thankfully, there's always tons of action for our Xfinity X-Fi. More than fast moments.

It's time for Fast Lane, our weekly segment where we expose the intelligence levels of our panel of spotters by having them compete in a speed trivia contest. Should ask us Brett questions. Yeah, Brett didn't get his, he gets a zero. Done.

I bet we can get all right. Friday, you're first. Go ahead. First one, how many laps did Bubba Wallace lead on Sunday? 23. Name one of two drivers who scored their best Career Cup series finish on Sunday. No idea What fast food restaurant

Does Brett think has the best French fries? McDonald's Who was the first European to study these stars through a telescope? Degama. What? How many centimeters

is it equal to one decimeter? Centimeters? 10. Yeah. Wow. That was such a guess. It was going to be 10, 100, or a thousand. You picked 10.

So both James Davidson and Josh Lickie scored their best career cup finishes. Are you being? I was supposed to guess that? Yep. And Galileo was the first one to see the stars to the telescope. All right. That was very impressive three out of six.

T.J. tried to beat that. Good luck. TJ, first one. We led four laps. T.J. How many laps did Jimmy look on a league? No. I don't know.

How many caution laps were run in the Cup series race? Oh, 75. Which fast food restaurant does Freddie think has the best French dress? Cookout. It's a good home, man. Who invented the law of gravity? I quit. What?

How many degrees does the Earth turn in 24 hours? 360. All right. Got me out. Damn it. Oh, yeah. I didn't know that. Ligano led six laps.

You're pretty on it when you're not over. 102 caution laps, and Freddie thinks checkers has the. has the best six. You got the question, right? Checkers has the best french fries by far. I don't remember. I haven't had checkers and they got the best french fries. They still have those?

Yeah. I haven't seen one. Hey, what's up, DBC fans? If you haven't heard about Anchor, it's the easiest way to make a podcast. Let us explain. Well, first of all, Freddie, the best part is it's free.

I know Brett already said me. Jason, honestly, you should share the one idiot thing because you also made the typo on the show sheet. Oh, no. I didn't make up a word, though. I just said it was on the show sheet. I trusted you. I put it like that every time we have to What was that? Ron Burgundy?

I just read what's on a telepractor. That is what happens when I'm not sleeping and don't read the shushie. But you're going to bring him breakfast. I didn't sleep either. I'm not going to bring him breakfast. You said you're going to bring him Chick-fil-A. Chad? No, I'm going to make breakfast.

All right, one idiot. TJ, who you got? You. It was already taken. Yeah, that's true. You know, I got to give it to the guy that was going to put the fire out. and pulls the hose out of the back of the truck. And it's not long enough to get to the fire.

I mean, not that I know he was trying to get there, but, like, it wasn't enough. I think we've all been in a situation when your hose is not long enough. He came up short right there. You know what I'm talking about? In the back of the truck, there's, like, a reel with a fire hose on it. He yanks it and it comes out.

and he goes right there and it's still hooked around the back of the truck and he's got about another 20 feet to go like I feel so bad for some of those guys because if they make a mistake like the camera's always on them boman burn one guy to the ground you remember that one oh that was the worst I felt so bad and they're just doing their job no yeah those guys are really good um that was a probably one of the bigger fires that we've had in a lot like well the problem was they let it burn for about 10 minutes before they got I actually was getting ready to head down the elevator with some marshmallows. No, that was a pretty decent-sized fire. I don't know if they saw the fire, the quick. And I don't know.

It was just tough to see there, too. It was a shadow right there. I don't know. I don't know. Whoever decided we should try to race on Saturday was probably an idiot. I mean, you're making tons of friends this episode, so feel free to just keep James Davidson, his comments are an idiot. But is he right?

Yeah, he's right because Cody Ware is an idiot. Everybody's an idiot. I'm an idiot because I stayed out too late last night. Josh Barry, what an idiot. Josh Barry passed out last night too early. That's an idiot. You know what? I'm changing my what an idiot.

To who? To you. Because, number one, you're probably going to have 17 calls this week. Number two, we're all leaving the race. track and we're all carrying a pretty decent rate of speed. That cop. And we all get in the right lane for a reason. And here comes Freddie in the fast lane.

Motoring by everybody. And we're all like, uh, Freddy, yo. I saw him. Eventually. But I got track position. And then you had to blow that out. I forget who was, I don't know who was in front of me. But I flash my light.

There was a car like five car links out in front of me. And I flashed my lights to get. Lambert over because I thought Lambert wanted to go over. So I flashed my lights and moved Lambert over. And the poor guy in front of me, I think, he stopped and moved over. I was like, oh. Freddy lost about eight mile an hour whenever he, that guy moved

and he saw the reflective stickers on the back of that car. And then he, like, then he slowed down to almost a speed limit. And then he, like, crept up to about... Then he crept up to about six over and kind of phoned it out a little bit. And he was still gaining on him. That cop got off the next exit.

I know. The green flag was back out. So I was worried that the cop, got off the exit and I thought he was going to get right back on just to check and I was like we're all done right here. But yeah, Freddie runs up on a cop. There was so many warning signs of phrase like, hey guys. Well, when the guy moved over, I felt obligated to go around him. Like, I felt bad that I flash the lights at him. Yeah, you kind of got to make your move at that point. Eat the ticket. The race after the race. Oh, the race after the race. It was definitely a race after We're going to have a track blocking incident in that little weaving section.

Somebody's going to get in somebody's quarter paneling. 15 part pile up down 85. No, it's going to be in that section about 6, 7 miles up road from the track where it's windy through that wooded area. It's too wide through there. It's already iffy. Freddie, since we have you at such a fine moment in time for your mindset. Anything else you want to rant about, anything you want to say. Oh, I'm good.

I'm good. Wyndham's texting me again. What does he got to say? We're texting back and forth, don't we're. He said he can't wait to listen. Thank you, as always, for listening, and to our presenting sponsor Offerpad. Don't forget to tweet, comma, comment, like, share. She wants punctuation, folks.

Like, we need punctuation. Every time you say a sentence, say period. I literally can't talk, so I'm going to close out the show. Which one of us is drunking you? I can't remember. I wish. And also, did it? Did you know that I think they named streets after Brett too?

Yeah, one way. Yeah. Like school on Sunday. No class. Have a great week, guys. All right. We'll talk to you after Richmond. Word.
