Outside, door, bumper, clear the 18th.
Starting point is 00:01:14 Best car I had here in a long time. You're going to do it. You're going to win it. Right with you. You're clear. Check the flag. You win. Do you want inside information?
Starting point is 00:01:32 You will not be able to repeat it to your kids, but you will learn and you will laugh. Door, bumper, clear is on. Hey, everybody. I'm T.J. Majors. Spiter the 88 Cup car, 7 Xfinity and the 29 truck. And joining me today. Brett Griffin, spotter for Clint Boyer, the Sprint Cup series, Elliot Sadler in the Xfinity series.
Starting point is 00:01:55 And our beautiful co-host today is going to be none other than producer Josh. Josh. Hey, guys. So Kristen has not only forfeited her perfect attendance award by missing her second show. Yeah. She's forfeited her annual salary from the first. the show. She won't get paid a dime from here on out. Yeah, I think we take it all from her. She gets paid? Yeah, she gets paid like 500 bucks a show. What are they paying you?
Starting point is 00:02:23 Jack. Attention? Not even that. You're getting paid some attention? Uh, maybe. Yeah. Thanks to Maine for bringing this to you guys today. T.J. Are you, uh, are you feeling good, man? You had an off weekend. Yeah, I'm pretty good. I think we went to the same place different times. Yeah, yeah. Charleston. Yeah, normally that's the first off weekend I've taken missing an Xfinity race and a truck race. I normally go to all the non-companion. So if that's the first weekend in I don't even know how many years that I've actually taken off and wanted a family vacation during the summer. And we went to Charleston for the weekend and it was fun. Had a good time.
Starting point is 00:03:01 Really nice place to go laid back. Yeah. I mean, your little girl's how old now, three? Six. Six. Yeah. So, man, you got to take some time. There's so much fun to take at that age.
Starting point is 00:03:11 She took her to the beach on Friday and hung around Charleston, man. She had a blast. I mean, I've never. It's really gratifying to take a six-year-old on vacation during the summer. And all our friends at school were, the reason I did it is because all our friends at school, when they did a, what are you doing this summer? Everyone is going, I'm going to the beach. We're going to the beach.
Starting point is 00:03:30 We're going to the beach. I'm looking forward to going to the beach. Yeah. And I'm like, I have no plans to take my little girl to the beach. So I'm like, I've got to do this. I feel like a loser. Yeah, all these kids are going to the beach, and I'm not taking. her to the beach.
Starting point is 00:03:42 I haven't been to Charleston beaches in a while. Yeah. Do they have like those awesome shops down there, like wings and the Eagles? Nothing like Marble Beach. That's unfortunate. Nothing like Myrtle Beach. So Madeline didn't get a hermit crab. No, no.
Starting point is 00:03:58 Two days later. Yeah. She did, I stayed at her friend's house that lived just outside of Charleston for two nights. Then we stayed in Charleston on Saturday night. And they have, there was more frogs. There was probably 15 frogs on its front porch. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:15 It was weird, man. We stayed at the Isle of Palms and went over to Sullivan's Island. Went to Charleston for a day, but I'll be honest with me, man. Charleston is an adult playground. It is not a great place for a kid when it's 145 degrees. Good rooftop bars. Yeah. All that, yeah, I saw that bar.
Starting point is 00:04:29 Yeah. I did see that bar. There's tons of great bars there, great restaurants. But it's not a kid's playground. It's an adult playground. It's okay at night walking around a little bit, but there's just not a lot of, like, you're right. The work old town. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:42 We took her on the carriage deal, and she loved all that and stuff. So about an hour ride? How long was carriage ride? Yeah, it was like an hour. Yeah. Yeah, but Friday. Did a horse stick of a shit while you were. No.
Starting point is 00:04:52 Friday was brutally hot. It was miserable. It was hot. Yeah. We went to the beach that day. But it was only 80 degrees on Friday on Thursday. No, yeah, Saturday it was only like 80 degrees. It was nice, man.
Starting point is 00:05:04 Guess what, guys, it was hot in Iowa as well. Yeah, I feel bad for you. Where are you going this weekend? Yeah, where are you going this weekend? again, Josh. I'm actually not going anywhere this weekend. Sonoma probably nice and cold. It's going to be a hundred out there. Oh, I'm sorry, you have to go out the wine country. Yeah. Holy cow.
Starting point is 00:05:18 Twelve hours of flying. One hundred degree heat. Yeah. But yes, we have two things going for us. We have the easiest schedule. It is. Oh, we have four hours of practice Friday. We have an hour of work Saturday. We have that much? So as spotters like, this is a dream schedule. Yeah, I didn't realize we had that much Fridays on Friday. Now I'm dreading Friday. But we don't start to 12. So we can sleep in like 9, 30 or 10. Yeah, that's pretty good.
Starting point is 00:05:46 I mean, it is an easy schedule. Sonoma is just an easy. It's not where we spot from is not really. It's perfect, kind of. And they've just kind of recently put up a little stand there and stuff. Yeah. We all just sit on the side of that hill. The only thing bad about Sonoma is you wake up at 4 a.m. every day.
Starting point is 00:06:03 And you're like, it's 4 o'clock in the morning. And you don't go back to sleep either. No, you can't. And at 7 o'clock at night when you're trying to eat. dinner, whatever, your face is falling in your plate. You're following your pie. Duh. Yeah. So, but I like going out there, though. It's not bad.
Starting point is 00:06:18 Now. So, uh, from the Exalted studio, what do we have on tap today? Well, we'll move into, uh, some spot on, spot off. We didn't talk about Iowa. Oh, yeah, BS session. I thought Iowa. I didn't get to watch the whole race. I watched a little bit of it. I watched all of it.
Starting point is 00:06:35 Your, uh, your friend Justin Algeyer definitely helped Sam Hornish win the race. Did he? He hit him in the ass. And when he hit him in the ass, he knocked his right rear quarter panel out. And there's no telling how much down force he gave him. So the right rear quarter panels knocked out, which looks like a pretty big air advantage.
Starting point is 00:06:51 And then the left side skirt of that 18 car, if you watch the race, it looked like to me, it was flared out about two inches further than anybody else. I did actually see that. That's the first thing that caught my eye, common eye of turn four. Yes. I could see it sticking out. Yeah. They caught my eye.
Starting point is 00:07:05 I'm sitting here watching this race. I'm like, this isn't even going to be fair for the rest of the race because the 18 has a gigantic arrow advantage. And he dominated the race as a result. Sam's a talented race car driver. That's a fast car. Don't get me wrong. But those two arrow advantages, I was like, man, this isn't even going to be a level playing
Starting point is 00:07:21 Phil for the rest of the day. And it wasn't. Yeah. He seemed to be pretty dominant. Yeah. So if you don't know what we're talking about and you're a hardcore fan, which we know all you guys are, you tube the race, pause it when you see the 18 come out of four. You'll see the left side skirt right in front of the left rear tire.
Starting point is 00:07:39 It's just flared out, and that gives these guys a lot of assistance through the corners, believe it or not. It's down for us. It keeps that corner planted wherever, you know, it's just air pushing down on the car, so it keeps the car into the track more. You always hear these guys from practice say the car doesn't feel like it's in the racetrack. That helps give that feeling. Yeah, for sure. You want any down force you can get. And the difference is Justin hitting Sam on pit road was not a crew-assisted altered body change.
Starting point is 00:08:05 That was just a racing incident. So NASCAR let him keep that at air. advantage for the rest of the race. And there's no way you could probably hit it again like that and bend it the same way. No way. You probably mess it up the opposite way. I'm surprised it didn't knock a hole in Justin's nose because he hit him pretty hard. If it flared the other. And there were times when
Starting point is 00:08:21 I mean that 18 car was four and five seconds out in front of the field. I mean it was just unfair. I mean it was he had a huge advantage and it showed up. So a good race though. It was cool. Yeah. You know Sam's actually, it's good to see Sam come back and do that. You know Sam every
Starting point is 00:08:37 time we go out to eat around here you go to somewhere like uh what's that place duckworths or whatever yeah he's always in there with his kids and stuff he's a he's a he's a good dude good great dude i love yeah yeah we're doing something different today too we're doing uh some live call ins man yeah this is going to be different i got to say this about live call ends i occasionally listen to serious radio and they have some of the biggest morons call into their show that makes it good though i've listened to it it makes it It's funny for a while, but after about 15 minutes, I'm like, I can't take any more of the stupidness. I got to turn the channel.
Starting point is 00:09:12 So I hope that Josh has selected three really good candidates for our call-ins today. One can only hope. So this is on Josh. Everything's on me. Blame producer Josh hashtag. Jeff. Hello. Jeff.
Starting point is 00:09:38 Hello. Are you, we wake you up? No. Are you sure? Took you long time to answer. You're brushing your teeth? Hey, I'm at work. Oh, you are?
Starting point is 00:09:48 Well, this is TJ and Brett. And Josh. We are doing our live... What is doing? We're doing our live calling for the podcast, and you have been selected as a question, which is what if NASCAR inverted pit selection last qualified gets first pit selection?
Starting point is 00:10:06 What do you think, Brett? Jeff, man, you just broke our caller virginity. That's kind of a big deal for Doorbumper Clear. Yeah, from work. How's that feel for you? Pretty awesome. All right, man, so your question, what if NASCAR had a pit selection
Starting point is 00:10:22 and the person who qualified last got the first pit selection? You got any kids, Jeff? I do. I got two kids. All right, how old are they? Four. How old are you say?
Starting point is 00:10:32 What and four? Eight and four. Eight and four. So let's fast forward and say they're 18 and 14 and they just took the SAT, and their SAT score is high enough to get them in the Harvard. but because of that, we're going to invert SAT scores and we're going to put them into your local community college.
Starting point is 00:10:50 I don't think it's fair, man. I think our pit selection should be given kind of the way it's given, man. What do you think? Well, I just always get kind of annoyed with a guy in the first selection, you know, get that first pit stop or the first pit there, and then they just like take off right away without, having any competition trying to get past. I just thought maybe this would even out a little bit.
Starting point is 00:11:18 So you get tired of the pole sitter kicking everybody's ass on pit road, basically. That's kind of the why you want to get the pole. That's why you try for it. You get that little bit of advantage on race there. I get it, but I'm just trying to, you know, if Junior keeps qualifying 25th, I'm just trying to give him every little advantage. So this is really about Dell Jr. sucking and qualifying. Well, exactly.
Starting point is 00:11:38 I mean, aren't we here to talk about helping Del Jr. win all the time? Listen, qualifying is great to be fast in, but it doesn't pay. And you're right, every little bit helps on race day, but if you get in there and you get out and you have a fast car, you're more likely going to be the car to beat still. I get it. But, yeah, I would hate to, I would hate for those guys. On the pit crews, see if they can help their driver get up. All right, so picture this.
Starting point is 00:12:05 We invert qualifying. Mike Harmon picks stall number one. That's going to be good. and Dale Jr. has stall number two. We're coming out of our stall, and he is going in. How is that going to work out? You're going to tell you the right front fender slam off the 88 car. I mean, I would much rather...
Starting point is 00:12:22 I get it, but I'm just trying to even out the plane to feel a little bit. I like where you're going with this, Jeff. Here's the thing, man. Back in the day, I don't know how long you've been a NASCAR fan, but back in the day, the NASCAR Winston Cup champion got the first pit stall all year. That was a gigantic advantage, and it was a gigantic advantage, and it was something that you could kind of say they earned by winning the championship. But I think NASCAR made a really good move by saying the guy who sits on the pole gets that first pit stall.
Starting point is 00:12:48 Because as TJ alluded to, I think it's like a $10,000 bonus to the race team and it's that first pit stall. Otherwise, man, there's not a lot of incentive to qualify well other than track position in that first pit stall. So I think it's a good little kicker. Yeah, it's always good to have that first stahl. I agree with you. I just thought maybe it would just give just a little bit more wrinkle into how pit stops are handled. and maybe the strategy of qualifying. We got like five more minutes, man.
Starting point is 00:13:14 Is there any other rules you can come up with that could really help Del Jr.? You know, and kind of screw everybody else over for the rest of the year? Yeah, please. Give him 50 more horsepower. Yeah, okay, I'll take it. We only let that happen at Daytona and Talladega. So, man, just be patient. We only got two weeks until we get back to Daytona.
Starting point is 00:13:30 I'll do my binoculars out. What kind of job do you have, Jeff? I work in the IT department at an insurance company in Des Moines. Oh, nice. Des Moines. Dude, I love that town. Did you go to the race? Unfortunately, I can this weekend, but I will be going to the one in the end of July.
Starting point is 00:13:49 Nice. Maybe you'll see Josh there. You can find Josh down there. He'll be the guy standing behind the one main box looking really tall and not doing anything. So there's two places in Des Moines that I love. One of them is some burger place. It's got like a bunch of monsters in it. Do you know what I'm talking about?
Starting point is 00:14:05 Zombie burger? Yeah, man, that's really cool. My other place is it's a bar called the High Life. What about El Bates shop? Have you ever been in there? No, I'll have to check that one out next time. It's right next to highlight. It has like 150 craft beers on tap.
Starting point is 00:14:19 Is that the one that has all the pictures of the old wrestlers, or is that a different one? It might be. I haven't been in there for a while. Jeff, is that the one that is the 150 craft beers from Iowa? Yes. Well, there's that, and there's also the, I can't look at the name of it. But, yeah, it's just El Bage Shepard. I just had a lot of the
Starting point is 00:14:42 lot of beers on tap and it's not necessarily from Iowa. That's cool, man. Yeah. Well, I appreciate the calling, man, and sticking with us here and hopefully you don't get any trouble
Starting point is 00:14:55 for calling from work or us calling you to work. Yeah. I'm just taking an early break. Yeah, I was going to say, man, you could just screw up some computers. You guys get to drink beer during your break? Or you're a beer-free break zone? How's that work? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:10 That doesn't work too well. All right, man. Have a good day, Jeff. Yeah, I appreciate you calling. Thanks for doing this. It's pretty awesome. Heck yeah, Jeff. See, you do.
Starting point is 00:15:18 See, man. So our first guy to ever get on this show, ironically, wants a rule change just for Dell Jr. Yeah, I mean, you know, I don't even, I mean, we don't qualify last. We're usually mid-pack. But this guy's basically saying I'm a Dale Jr. fan. Y'all don't qualify good enough to get a good pit stall. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:39 So I want a rule change to help Dale Jr. Are you okay with this biased stuff? I don't want that rule to help. I want something else. I don't want that. That's not enough to help us. Oh, man. All right, who we call on?
Starting point is 00:15:52 Andrew Garrett's. Andrew Garrett's. A lot of editing in this one. Hello. Andrew. How you doing? It's Brett and TJ, man. What's up?
Starting point is 00:16:06 Not too much. Nick meet you guys. Hey, what's up, man? Where are you at? Where's 705 area code at? It's Peterborough, Ontario, just northeast of Toronto. Oh, yeah. Oh, Canada?
Starting point is 00:16:17 Worldwide. I am. I've raced up there before. We've said we're worldwide. We're just proving it. Yeah, we are international. Yeah. Where'd you race up here, T.J.?
Starting point is 00:16:25 Uh, Peterborough. That was either Mossport or Cayuga or somewhere else right in that area. So Mossport is just out here, road course, and oval. Yeah, the Oval is down near Hamilton. Yeah, the Oval. The Oval's not really an oval, though. It's partly square, if I remember right. It was weird.
Starting point is 00:16:42 Yeah. Yeah, it is. The one corner is like a square. So, yeah. Well, that's how the Canadians. Ashweacon. Oshwegan. Oshwegan is closer to Windsor or...
Starting point is 00:16:55 There's another track further north than that. Then it was at a horse race track that I've been to up there. Oh, Coorset down. That's actually 10 minutes down the road from me. That's where it was. It's Coraa. That's what it was. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:08 Yeah, that one's definitely square. The QEW highway is pretty scary when you're, pulling a trailer. That it is, yes. It's pretty scary. There's people doing about 95 or 100 on it. You're pulling a trailer and they're blowing by you. Canadians or get after it up there.
Starting point is 00:17:22 I love Canada. Yeah. There's a couple little places right by Mossport to visit that you would probably love, Brett. Yeah, I like to go to Canada at a party more than I do. Well, it's a good shoe show. Good shoe show. It's a shoe show, yeah. The drug rates at Mossport's a couple years old, now Canadian tire or whatever it's called.
Starting point is 00:17:40 It was a blast. a couple years ago. Yeah, I've raced Mossport before. That was actually where I ran my first race ever. That made me start
Starting point is 00:17:48 23rd because I had never raced anything before. And I finished 8th. It was a lot of fun. So, but apparently you want to know about a flamethrower.
Starting point is 00:17:56 What do you got, Andrew, for a question? All right. Well, I love following Clint on Twitter lately, and I want to know, mainly for Brack, I'm assuming you hang out with him.
Starting point is 00:18:06 Has Clint ever let you play with the flame thrower that he has? Man, I'll be honest with you. I'm a little bit more afraid of fire than the Clint is he has not let me play with the flamethrower but I've seen
Starting point is 00:18:17 him build a lot of fires and man I don't there's no doubt this guy loves an explosion and loves fire he's got like backhose and stuff at his house just so that he can build big fires with a bunch of trees he knocks down man he's kind of crazy Flamethrower sounds
Starting point is 00:18:33 like it's a lot of fun I'm not sure what I would do with one but I want one I don't know if I I'm trying to convince my wife that she should get me one. Oh, man. She says I remind her a lot of Clint because I've got the same hyper fidgety, can't stop doing stuff. ADD?
Starting point is 00:18:52 But haven't contradicting yet. So, man, I'd just do it and ask for forgiveness later. Heck yeah. I mean, just do it. Are you working right now? Yeah, I just snuck away from my desk. Oh, perfect. See, you're making money.
Starting point is 00:19:05 Go do it. Go do it. Buy her something nice. Get her a spa day or something and buy a flame to her. Are they Are flamethrowers legal? 100%? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:19:17 What do you buy them? I've never even seen them in a store or anything. Amazon? I don't think you can buy them in like a gas store. Yeah. Where do you buy a flamethrower? Careful Googling that. Make sure you don't get yourself in trouble.
Starting point is 00:19:27 Have you looked them up? No, I have not. I see like where do you even go to buy one? How do you drive out of the house? They could be back in a little bit of go buy a flamethrower. Yeah. What do you go to Lowe's or something? I mean,
Starting point is 00:19:38 yeah. Now I'm going to have to tweet it, Clint. Find out where you go. I saw Clint blow up a ditch one time that was about a mile long. And I mean, he's just an idiot when it comes to fire, man. He's crazy. Fire is a lot of fun if you're doing it right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:54 If you're doing it right. If you're doing it right. I mean, when I was like seven years old, I let my mom's curtains on fire. I don't recommend doing that. That's probably not going to end well. No, man. That did not end well. That's not doing it right.
Starting point is 00:20:07 What were you thinking? Fire. What's Clint thinking when he's blowing up a ditch? He's not thinking I'm going to burn my house down. Well, I didn't know. He bought the property, so he keeps a fire away from the house. There's the key. You see, maybe I just needed to have a flame thrower that I wouldn't have been in the house.
Starting point is 00:20:25 There's a good story with Elliot and Clint and Blake Shelton and a buddy of ours named Kevin Kennedy that manages Blake. They were all turkey hunting out in Oklahoma. And Clint proceeds to build a fire, and he just keeps building a fire. Fire, fire, fire. Next thing you know, it's time to go turkey hunting, and they're too sleepy, quote, sleepy to go turkey hunting. So I think fire sometimes gets the best of them. Fire is a lot of fun, man. Me and my buddy used to light bottle rockets off in my bedroom.
Starting point is 00:20:56 In your bedroom? Yeah, TJ, you got issues. It was bad. I know, man. Does Madeline know about all this? No, and she never will. The fact that you were still alive today. I know, man.
Starting point is 00:21:07 Listen, dude, we would light them off and just. run and dive under cover or something to see where they ended up. I hope she's listening out here. I told you. She's up there. That's why I told you all he doesn't need to reproduce. This is. That was all in the past, man.
Starting point is 00:21:18 I wouldn't. I'd probably still do it now. It's pretty fun. All right, Andrew. Thanks for the question, man. Appreciate you letting us give me a shout. Nope. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:27 If I ever, Hey, TJ, before you go, have the door bumper clear T-shirt's gone for sale or did I miss that? Well, they're about 30 feet away from me in the June Motor Resource Retail store here, but my website should be up in the next day or so. Okay. All right. Cool. All right, buddy. Thank you, man.
Starting point is 00:21:43 Thanks a lot, guys. That was a good call. Canada. Canada. I love Canada. Yeah. Anything goes up there. I don't care. No.
Starting point is 00:21:53 I like Canada, just not the French part of Canada. Wow. You don't speak French? No. Like Montreal? You don't like Montreal? They speak English, though. They do.
Starting point is 00:22:04 They speak English until they find out you're American, and then they start speaking French. I don't have an issue with that. Why don't you just learn French? Let's flip them off. Why don't you learn French, man? You'd be set then. So we got one more called Billy Bradley. Billy Bradley.
Starting point is 00:22:20 He tweets a lot. He does. He's with, uh, he has great tweets. He is associated. He's associated with, uh, what's, uh, sloppy yellow guy. Slop of yellow. Yeah. So, uh, do you think this is a, do you think Mike Davis is a conspirator in this collar?
Starting point is 00:22:37 There is a chance Mike Davis has some work into this one. one, so we probably need to be pretty careful. Be on our toes. Yeah. Yeah, Billy might be interesting. Billy Bradley. That sounds like a good, like a horse jockey. Billy Bradley?
Starting point is 00:22:52 Or maybe a baseball player. Yeah. I don't know. He looks kind of big to be a horse jockey. He looks like a bigger dude. Could be a wrestler. Well, if he isn't he like Dato, he's a little bit. It's Dato's brother, I think, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:23:04 Oh, it is? I think so, or something like that. I mean, yeah, he's definitely too big. 276 area code, isn't that Tennessee? Where's that at? I don't know. No? Speaking of wrestling, though,
Starting point is 00:23:18 Jel C, LeBron get off the plane yesterday wearing an Ultimate Warrior shirt. I liked it. No, I didn't see that. Yeah, they wore an ultimate shirt. So all those guys win the championship, they go to Vegas. They party.
Starting point is 00:23:28 I mean, they party, right? Yeah. But LeBron obviously wasn't in the club, right? Yeah, I guarantee he did not go to the club. I mean, he wasn't in the club. If he's in the club, somebody's going to have video of him in the club. Unless he's like in a private area.
Starting point is 00:23:44 I don't know, man. I've been in that club. There's no super private area. He had to be there or somewhere in the area. I'm sure he was in a suite. But I guess he was like, no, man, I'm not going to the club. He might have been having a private party. He might have, I mean.
Starting point is 00:23:58 I mean, they might have had people around there telling people not to video and stuff. The only people that did video were the team guys that were allowed. Because there is video of J.R. Smith. Getting down. Yeah. When he poured that bottle of champagne on that waitress. Oh, yeah. That was awesome.
Starting point is 00:24:13 I think they had that planned because all the wait. They 100% had it played. Yeah, because all the waitress had on calves deal. Yeah, and you see that they had a cake made like an NBA, the championship trophy. Yeah. They certainly didn't pull that off in two hours. I mean, that's cool they did that, though. I mean, why not?
Starting point is 00:24:31 That's brave. Because in our sport, that would almost be superstitious for you're not going to win it. Right. To say, hey, if we win it, make the cake. get the reservation, get the waitresses and hot. Maybe it was done behind the scenes and they didn't tell any of the players. They lined it up. That would have been a pretty cool move.
Starting point is 00:24:50 Yeah. Like don't tell anybody that's what the plan is. Because you know if you win the championship out there and you're on the way home you're going over Vegas. Right. Why not stop? Yeah. You know?
Starting point is 00:24:59 Yeah. I mean, it was awesome. I just wonder why LeBron. I will say, though, I mean, even in our sport, like if you're in contention to win the championship in Miami, your folks are already planning something. That's not exactly true. If you're in the Cup Series deal and you're in contention to win,
Starting point is 00:25:17 the championship party location is predetermined regardless of who wins. So it's not like Jimmy goes, okay, I want to go here. And Dale Jr. goes, okay, I want to go there. It is a predetermined party location. Now, who you invite can be up to you. NASCAR party is predetermined. That is the championship party. But the team party, like right after the race or whatever,
Starting point is 00:25:38 that just kind of goes. kind of goes. It's kind of by the flow because when we won the 500, we didn't. No. The only person they had an idea that when he had to be out by a certain time was, was Dale Jr. If that, you know, that's already, you know that if you win the 500, you're out the next morning early.
Starting point is 00:25:56 You're going to, you're doing breakfast and you're going to New York. The rest of us were scrambling. I will say that Brad's championship party was not predetermined by NASCAR. Right. That was done by him. Brian. Middle light. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:09 Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that's cool they did. I thought the game was great, by the way, too. Awesome game. I kind of wanted to keep going. Game seven. Can they keep playing?
Starting point is 00:26:19 Great series. Back and forth. I mean, LeBron, didn't he break a record for the first player to every lead every single category? Like steals, blocks, rebounds, points, assist. He let it all. Yeah. That's insane. Everyone, people were mad that he's, you know, being a little selfish.
Starting point is 00:26:39 with it, but man, everywhere that guy goes, he goes to the championship. He goes to the finals, everywhere he goes. And to come back to Cleveland and take them to the finals, two years in a row and win it the second year against the Golden State team that honestly, I didn't think the Cavaliers had a chance,
Starting point is 00:26:55 to be honest with you. Well, when it was three to one, nobody did. Yeah. And to come back from that, and he averaged like 40 points a game almost per game. Yeah. I mean, that's unreal, man.
Starting point is 00:27:07 I told you, he's basketball, Jesus, when you picked the Warriors to win it all. I didn't think Steph Curry could miss. Man, he sucked last game. He was cold. Yeah, that one shot, he just at the backboard. Yeah. But then he comes back and nails this one from four feet, five feet beyond the three-point line.
Starting point is 00:27:26 He does not even look into the basket before he shoots sometimes. Yeah. He just throwing it up. Kyrie was on fire too. Yeah, that was a great series, man. Guy stepped up. You know, that dunk I thought, I almost wanted LeBron to make that big dunk. the end because that would have been like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:41 That was huge. Yeah, that was awesome. But it was a good series. Let's call Billy and let T.J. give him some crap. All right. Are you calling 1-800match.com over there or what? Kristen, Kristen Ming. Oh.
Starting point is 00:27:54 And I'm sad to get it again. This is perfect. Hello. Hey, hey, Billy, what's up? It's T.J. and Brett. Hey, what's going on, buddy? Hey, nice ringtone, man. Do you think we'd call back and just let it play for a little bit?
Starting point is 00:28:08 Who, what was that? What was it? I'm not sure which one was flying. It's some country song. It sounded redneck, whatever it was. Yeah, that's probably the truth. Are you calling from Texas or where are you at? No, I'm from Bristol, Virginia.
Starting point is 00:28:27 I'm friends with Dan to... Okay. I thought you were his brother or something. You're just claiming him as a friend? We had the same IQ level, I would say. But I would say if you ever Cone to Bristol, you probably wouldn't want to come eat with us either.
Starting point is 00:28:45 What do you have? I mean, you got squirrels and stuff on the menu? Yeah, squirrels, rabbits. About anything we can bomb. Wow. All right. So, what's your first question there? You wanted to know about being up on the spotter stand.
Starting point is 00:29:01 Is there a role that you cannot take any shading device? And if not, why do we not have? That was about, you know, I know a match car, like to make the rules, but is that a rule that you can't take anything up there for it? No, it's just very inconvenient. A lot of the spotter stands aren't big enough to support something we could put up. Some of us, I actually have a chair, and Kevin Hamlin actually has one too
Starting point is 00:29:26 that has a little roof that folds up over it. So on the real hot days, but it has to be a track that has a big enough spotter stand that you can actually put it up. Because a lot of these places, like you go to Michigan, it's a really good spotter stand but it's just a fence with a rail it has a place where you can put your elbows and stuff and it's got
Starting point is 00:29:46 power outlets up there and stuff but there's nothing behind you. You have about three foot behind you and there's another fence so there's not really room to put a chair and there's not really room to put anything else up you know and if we did put something up which we have talked about a couple times you know
Starting point is 00:30:02 we thought about a few was thought about getting together and bringing it easy up to some of these places like Kentucky or something we have to have some where to strap it to, like a fence or something, to be sure that it doesn't fly off the roof, because that would be bad. You know, if we ever did anything, we would have to make sure it was strapped down good. And it's hard to get it. Safety concern on that.
Starting point is 00:30:21 Yeah, and it's hard for some of us. We can't just, I can't just throw an easy up on my back every week when I walk to the roof. You know, it's got to be something planned that two couple people go and grab it and bring it up, and it's going to have to go in a hauler or somebody at a motorhome or something. It's going to have to travel somewhere. So, um, we have some eight to 12 hour days up there, man. It, uh, it's brutal. It is.
Starting point is 00:30:43 Yes, it does. They've made a lot of major, yeah, they made a lot of major improvements to these places, but they definitely ain't given shade. If it was just a rule that you wasn't allowed for a safety reason, you know, for the fans. Um, I don't know if there's, I have never seen a rule about it where we can't do it, but I just think we're just, we're at the mercy of the track. Yeah, we're just kind of so usually.
Starting point is 00:31:07 to it now anyway. I mean, we probably, you know, I think at Kentucky or somewhere like that, we might, because there is a fence right there, and we can bring a couple of ratchet straps and strap it to the fence and be safe with it and stuff. But you're right. Some of these places, it does get brutally hot, and you do look for any little
Starting point is 00:31:22 bit of shade. When we go to Kentucky, there is a there is a TV stand up there that a guy stands on for one of the TV cameras, and we all try to fight for underneath it, but there's this one guy that shows up with this little bitty camera that
Starting point is 00:31:38 doesn't even, I don't think any of his stuff is for any big time TV stuff either. He's got one of his little camcorders. And he posts up under the shade and sits there in the shade all weekend and basically takes a lot of that room up because he doesn't want to be in the sun. So I would love for them
Starting point is 00:31:55 to get rid of that underneath there. Yeah. What else you got? You got another question for Brent? My phone is cutting out or? Well, you are in Bristol, Virginia. Signals probably pretty low there. And we do.
Starting point is 00:32:10 Well, you've got a question for Brett? Yeah, I do. Brett, you know, talk about, you know, you guys have one of the longest seasons as far as starts in February and goes all the way to November. Would there be a track that you considered to drop to get it to a 30-rate schedule? Billy, man, I'm glad I got you on this show because you make me sound less country right now. man listen i told us you you spotted for elliott tj you spotted for sterling so i'm sure somewhere right in the middle there yeah i can understand you better i can understand sterling already heck yeah man i'm just glad you're on here you make me sound like a presidential candidate all of a sudden but to your point man we do have a long
Starting point is 00:33:00 schedule what could we do to make it a 30 race schedule here's the reality of that question is as long as is willing to pay NASCAR a pile of money, and by pile, I mean hundreds of millions of dollars. They're not going to shorten our race schedule. But let's speak to your question just theoretically. What would I do to get to a 30 race schedule? Would I drop? What track would I drop? I wouldn't drop any, man.
Starting point is 00:33:23 I would go to some of these tracks once, though. I really feel like our schedule should only go to Daytona and Charlotte twice. I feel like everywhere else we need to go once, and we need to take those other dates, additional dates and we need to build new facilities in new markets and give us an opportunity to get in front of new fans. I'm a huge believer that we have a lot of race fans in Canada. We actually had a guy on earlier that spoke to that point and rattled off 20 tracks in his area. Not many American fans can even do that.
Starting point is 00:33:54 So I'm a big fan believing we need to be in the Montreal market. We need to be in Toronto. You know, we need to be in British Columbia. We need to be in what's that town on the west side over there near Whistler? Vancouver. You know, there's just a bunch of really cool Canadian towns I think we could go to, and also some here in America too.
Starting point is 00:34:15 Right. I totally agree with you on the two tracks. I mean, I live five miles from Bristol, and it wouldn't hurt me that they'd done away with the spring race. Of course, you know, I'm going to go to be there, but it wouldn't hurt me to lose that race.
Starting point is 00:34:32 Yeah, I mean, I think from the local, man, what's happened is before the economy, economy took a crap. People were traveling from all 50 states and tons of different countries just to come to a race. Well, everybody kind of got tight with their dollar and they started picking and choosing which races are going to come to, which put the tracks in a position to have to market themselves to the local fan, which is about a 200-mile radius. A four-hour drive is what people are going to be willing to come to. You take a place like Bristol, it is a tremendous
Starting point is 00:35:01 facility, but it's in a really rural part of America. You know, let's face it, if you start talking about a three-hour drive, man, it's really hard to get from Charlotte to there, Raleigh to there, you know, Nashville to there. So you've really decreased the amount of local people that you're able to get. So I think once a year also helps some of that attendance issue that some of these tracks are having because so many of our tracks are in rural areas. Yes, and the hotels, motels and all that situation, they put a strain on it too by a limit and, you know.
Starting point is 00:35:33 Look at Darlington. Three, four nights. Yeah, look at Darlington, it sells out. Look at Watkins Glen, it sells out with a tremendous infill presence. You know, you start looking at some of these tracks that only get one date, and they do really well from an attendance standpoint. Yeah, man, that's why the attendance is so much more as a night race in Bristol. Yeah, because that's the one the local crowd's going to pick. If you had one race to pick, that's going to be it. That's it, man. Well, we appreciate you letting us call you, man.
Starting point is 00:36:04 We hope all's good and give our buddy sloppy yellow a hard time Next time you talk to him Hold things down there in Bristol We'll have something deep Yeah, some wild game probably Cold beer and raccoon Yeah
Starting point is 00:36:17 We'll get you some wine or something Yeah I'm about like a T-bone or something man I'm not I'm not into that squirrel and stuff you guys Get him a T-bonne and some Zima I don't know what the fans there My man talked to too many I don't know any other race team
Starting point is 00:36:33 But does it don't let Mike Davis hear that of yeah we don't we don't you know Mike's just a you know he's like a fly in the wall in here he's probably listening right now trying to we we kind of thought this might be some sort of prank call with uh being associated with dado or something there
Starting point is 00:36:51 you never really know what you're going to get with him especially if Mike Davis gets involved so but uh yeah man I appreciate to call in on the plane and he told me he asked you gonna call us yeah I'll give it try Yeah, heck, thanks for calling, man. I appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:37:06 Maybe we'll catch up with you later this season. All right, thank you, buddy. See you, man. Okay, Billy Bradley is certainly not a horse jockey. No, man, Billy Bradley, I think he's about six, four. He's wearing a tank top. Yeah, it'd be. Probably some jorts.
Starting point is 00:37:24 Yeah, probably some jorts. Drinking a can beer right now. There's a good chance. A mullet. He think he's got a mullet? A can of PBR probably in his hand right now. Maybe an MGD. Yeah, it could be.
Starting point is 00:37:36 Yeah. Maybe. He may have those lines shaved in the side of his head and have them all. Josh, you should do lines on the side of your head. I don't think so. Yeah, I can do it. I actually can do it. I can give a fade.
Starting point is 00:37:48 Yeah. When's the last time you've fully shaved? Over a year. His beard? Yeah. Okay. All right. We're going to move into some spot-on, spot-off.
Starting point is 00:38:08 Let's see how good Josh does this. Can you do it, Kristen's voice? Yeah. Rebottle and all that. Okay, guys. All right. Spot-on, spot-off. Xfinity racing on a Sunday slash Father's Day.
Starting point is 00:38:22 Go ahead. I think Xfinity racing on a Sunday is awesome. I don't have an issue with that. I really feel like, though, it was Father's Day. I'm a huge, obviously, lover of racing, and I struggled to find the time to watch the race because of activities with the kids. Now, I did block off 130 to 3.30 to make it happen. But, man, it just goes back to, I saw a really slim audience there in Iowa,
Starting point is 00:38:47 and that's traditionally a place that sells a lot of tickets. And I feel like because you're making someone pick between their family and a sport they love, they almost on that particular day, the dads feel like they got to do the right thing and pick their family. So, you know, I, again, experience. Finity racing on a Sunday, I'm all for it. Any kind of racing on Father's Day, we don't race on Mother's Day. So what's the difference?
Starting point is 00:39:12 Yeah, I'll go spot off. I think they should have ran Saturday night and been home. You know, those guys don't have quite the grueling schedule that the Cup Series have, but, you know, they should have the opportunity to come home and spend the day with their dads and stuff like that. You know, they're just as important as the mom. So, you know, they talked a lot this past weekend about, you know, the possibility of doing a double header on Saturday. What are your guys' thoughts on doing a double header?
Starting point is 00:39:41 With trucks and Xfinney or a cup? With trucks and Xfinity. Personally, I would have just ran. Normally in the past, it was a K&N race Thursday night, truck race Friday night, and Exfini race Saturday night. I think they should just stick with the Saturday night and stuff.
Starting point is 00:39:56 I mean, it's not a long, grueling race. It's a short track race. Get people out. You're not there for six hours. You go. You drive out a few hours for the race. Hang out a little bit. Watch the race, you come home.
Starting point is 00:40:06 Atlanta did the truck and Xfinity doubleheader. I really like that concept because I think it's a really fun day for race fans. Almost if you're a college football fan, you can't wait until Saturday to pack all your racing in. I think that's a tremendous idea. The problem here is, though, the sport of NASCAR, in my opinion, in this particular instance, isn't being led by NASCAR. It's being led by Fox. It's being led by TV.
Starting point is 00:40:30 It's being led by the opportunity to get ratings. They're picking the best day. and the best time to get those ratings because that allows them to sell ads. Yeah. And to go off on a complete tangent from spot on, spot off, every time in Iowa that these guys went to commercial. The trucks wrecked, the Xfinity cars wrecked. I don't think I saw one live wreck the entire day, the entire weekend. Like, it's really weird because at no point, here's what's exciting about racing.
Starting point is 00:41:00 Restarts, the start, the finish, and the wrecks. at no point during a football game do you miss a touchdown. So how do we not miss Rex? What do we do? Because it's a problem. Yeah, I think we would, you're just going to. You got to ride it out. You got to ride it out until the time comes, man.
Starting point is 00:41:19 And you never know, Rex, you can't tell when they're going to happen. No. You cannot tell the tires getting ready to blow or something. So I think they need to be time better as well. And people shouldn't be missing the action. That's it. You're missing the action. You should not be missing the action.
Starting point is 00:41:34 You're not going to miss LeBron doing a two-handed dunk at any point during that basketball game. I would have been disappointed to come back and they were already playing and there was a score change and a lead change or something. I'd have been like, you know, what the heck, Randy? Well, I mean, it's a little different too because most other sports are not all sports, but they have timeouts and we don't really have timeouts. And we don't really have timeouts. We're in a different, they have timeouts and they also have TV timeouts. Right. So we're in a different deal.
Starting point is 00:42:01 And, you know, when you. MF the caution clock, which we all kind of do. That's basically a TV timeout. It's basically a TV timeout. Now, 20 minutes isn't long enough for me because it eliminates the opportunity for a green flag pit cycle. So clearly that number isn't correct. So it's almost like if we're going to have a TV time out, don't even tell us what the time is.
Starting point is 00:42:20 Just throw it in there and do it whenever and say, hey, guys, we're taking TV. But my point is, missing Rex as a fan sucks because you're following on Twitter and you see caution and you're like, oh, my God, was my guy in it? And then you're relying on, you know, Josh to do his job on Twitter for one main racing to tell us because you get lost, man. You're sitting home. You don't know what's going on. Yeah. So do you like the split screen they do?
Starting point is 00:42:42 I do in Indy. I love it. Because, I mean, here's the thing, too. If you do the split screen, they can come back quicker. Right. And then go back to the ads during the pit stop cycle. So I don't know, man. I know we went off on a tangent there.
Starting point is 00:42:56 But that got on my nerves this weekend. All right. Spot on, spot off. Sam Hornish Jr. leads 183 of 250 laps at Iowa and pulls off the wind. Spot on, man. Dude, did what he had to do. You had the best car and showed it.
Starting point is 00:43:11 Yeah, definitely spot on for Sam. You know, spot off for the entertainment factor. Yeah. You know, Elliot had a really fast car. I think he peaked around third a couple of times. Restarts where we're kicking his butt pretty good. He'd end up fifth or six after, you know, some restart things. You never know if they're on the splitter or loose or whatever.
Starting point is 00:43:26 But I think from second on back was a good race. Spot on for Sam, man. great racer, Indy 500 champion, IRL champion, struggled a lot in stock cars, wrecked a lot in stock cars. Cool to see a guy like that win. Yeah. All right, spot on, spot off. JRM finishes 5, 6 and 7th.
Starting point is 00:43:46 Fifth, 6 and 7th. 5, 6 and 7th? 5, 6 and 7. Don't even start with your camera. Spot off, man. I think that's probably one of our worst showings for the year. And I think the good news is that's bothering us. You know, I think a year ago, this organization would have been pretty happy with three cars in the top seven.
Starting point is 00:44:09 Now I think we've raised the bars of company. Yeah, I feel like we've shown, they showed a little bit of speed and practice. You know, I don't think I think we've gained in other areas this year, a mile and a half. So I think we've gained. A ton. I think maybe we have kind of stayed the same at the short. track still, maybe. We usually have a little bit more speed of the short tracks than that, but that's still a solid showing to come out of their fifth, sixth, and seventh.
Starting point is 00:44:36 I don't think there's anything to be ashamed about, you know, especially Sam had such a dominant car. You know, that's really, he just whipped everybody, so, yeah. I think that's a pretty solid showing. Who's, who's, who's ranting today? Well, you're ranting. What's your rant? You're to Iowa. What's your rant? Something had to make you mad. Nothing really made me mad at Iowa. You have to get mad. Why?
Starting point is 00:45:01 Do you never get mad at anything? No, I get mad at stuff all the time. Okay, what did you get mad at Iowa? What's the last thing you got mad at? Probably when you picked on him by his tattoo. That was a while ago. He had to be mad after that. Yeah, I'm still mad about that.
Starting point is 00:45:16 You should be. And you should be mad about five, six, and seventh. I got a rant. Oh, that's a good. I got a real issue with some stuff going on in social media. And I guess it's somewhat NASCAR relevant. So Mike Wallace and his daughter are allegedly attacked at a concert, okay? And then they take to social media to try to bring these guys to justice. Okay, first of all, I will say this.
Starting point is 00:45:43 There's three sides to the story. There's the Wallace side. There's the Lucas side. And then there's the truth. Okay. We don't necessarily know the truth. And I'm not going to say that we know anywhere near the truth. But the reality is Mike Wallace got the shit kicked out of him. And when you look at that, You say, all right, guys are guys. They're going to fight. Whatever's going to happen. There's going to happen. Here's my issue that I have.
Starting point is 00:46:06 If a girl, truly, his daughter, laid on top of an unconscious man and these three guys continue to kick her, these guys need to go to prison. Like, we as a society have become way too relaxed and letting males hit females. And if you're a guy listening to this show and you want to hit a girl, please tweet me. I will send you my cell phone number. I will come and meet you and you can hit me instead. And if you're a girl listening to this show and you're getting hit by a guy, leave him. He's a piece of shit. If he treats his mom poorly, his sister poorly, or he's hitting you, leave because he's never going to treat you the way you need to be treated.
Starting point is 00:46:41 So I sit there and watched all this play out on social media and I saw these fans completely attack this company. That's not what my comments are about. We should never be hitting a female as a society. It's a shame. Yeah, my, you know, whether who started, it doesn't even matter who started it. There's a point when the fight's over. The guy's laying down. There's three of you, one of him, two of him, or whatever.
Starting point is 00:47:05 The dude's laying down. You've proved you're bigger, stronger, whatever. You're drunk. Go home. You don't need to continue to kick the guy in the face. Look at it. Look at him, man. That's not just to win the fight and leave thing.
Starting point is 00:47:16 That's a beat down. That's a crime, man. That's a crime. It's excessive. He's defenseless at that point. You need to realize that and go. on from it and I don't know man they need to you know whether who's so or not that's that's too far that's too far they need to be they need to be punished I'm from a small town people fight it is what it is
Starting point is 00:47:42 it's always going to be that way you know but can't can't hit girls can't guys should never be hitting girls it's it's a shame did you get any fights growing up in pageland yes I probably lost way more than I won but I did get in some in pagell and other town too. Ch y'all fight in New York? My school was really small. We didn't have very many at all, really. 75 people was my graduating class.
Starting point is 00:48:08 We were 140. I was over 500. Yeah, so we all basically knew each other. Maybe one time a year would all there be a good one that you went down to the basketball court. There must not have been enough girls there to cause a fight because that's usually in my school. What started was a girl? There is half and half, but like once a year we would have a good basketball court. fight where two everybody
Starting point is 00:48:29 would hear about it throughout school and two guys are good down there and meet the basketball court and swing it a little bit and then everybody go home but to the point TJ made I mean it wasn't a five on one a three on one I mean no it's like I don't like you you don't like me you're not gonna win three on one no I mean
Starting point is 00:48:45 it's that's just a show off thing the when you win a three on one that's just a that's just a show off ridiculous thing it's not even a honestly it's not even a fight it's not fair no especially when the girls laying on her dad.
Starting point is 00:48:59 I mean, that's ridiculous, man. Have a little bit of respect, okay? You just beat him up. Yeah. So anyway, Sonoma. TJ, what was her last race that? I don't remember where we were.
Starting point is 00:49:11 Michigan. I had Matt. He beat Biffle. So I pulled out an A guy. You've had a, you've had a lot of, I had a couple weeks. A lot of, like, less than 30 to go help. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:24 I mean, Dover, there. I mean, less than, I had you, all the way till 30 to go. No doubt. So let's see here. Sonoma. I got to pull up who's even in this race, because I feel like I don't know what you're going to do right here.
Starting point is 00:49:38 I already know what's going to happen. What's going to happen? One of us is going to have Almondinger for this race and one of us is going to have an Almondinger for the Glenn. Hala? I mean, that's the only way to do it. It's the only race you want to pick the guy. I know.
Starting point is 00:49:52 That's what I'm saying. I mean, so I don't, I mean, it's the only, Who do you pick against him, though? I don't know. That's what I'm saying. There's not really a good. AJ kind of stands out right now at the road courses.
Starting point is 00:50:06 I mean, I know these other guys are good, but AJ, we've kind of lost the ringer, the road course guy in our field. AJ's kind of the last one. He's the only, this is, yeah, I mean, if Juan Pablo were still here, there's two races you're going to pick Juan Pablo. Marcus. Marcus. Marcus.
Starting point is 00:50:21 There's two races. We're going to burn up AJ Amandinger right here on these races. And the Glenn in here is going to be AJ. It's going to be it. So I'm going to wait until Waukins Glen, I think, to pick him. But it might not be my pick then. Yeah. So I almost have to take him now.
Starting point is 00:50:42 It's hard to know when to play defense, you know. And right now you're on offense because you're picking first. So really, I just got to go AJ right here. He's committed AJ Amadinger. Well, it might not be my pick at the Glenn. Then if you – Hey, if I lose the week before, I'm taking him there. I know, exactly.
Starting point is 00:50:56 Then he's not there for you to pick. Exactly. So I got to take him now. I will give this to you, man. Very smart play. I hope that... You're basically going to have to concede this and hope he has bad luck this weekend. I hope his transmission guy and his gear guy and they all really do their job well, you know, for your sake.
Starting point is 00:51:14 Because for my sake, I'm going to go with a dark horse guy. I'm going to go with Paul Menard Nation, the empire. and just let that solid stone face intimidate AJ all weekend and basically beat him. The only chance you have this happening is if AJ has bad luck and something breaks. Like there is no way. No. Paul's going to outdrive. There's no way.
Starting point is 00:51:39 But Paul's going to stay on the track. He's going to finish on the lead lap. Yeah. He's a safe driver. AJ is going to drive like a dingling at some point and miss a shift and blow up a motor. Like I'm relying. I don't know though. He won the glint.
Starting point is 00:51:53 He did. His last road course was victorious. Yes. So maybe he's learned. He did. I'm banking on that. I just screwed up. I should have took Jamie McMurray.
Starting point is 00:52:01 But I'm going to live with my pick. And best of luck. Hey, there's no doubt. T.J. has an A-level guy here and I got a C-plus level guy. We can't use the other A-level guys for this place. Can't. You can't do it. No.
Starting point is 00:52:14 So, and these are. Which is Kyle, Kurt, Jimmy, Harvick. Those guys are fast. But these are. Typically Clint, you know, a little bit of unpredictability there. I feel like I can gain on you. now because the odds are in my favor this weekend. And then when we go to the Glan,
Starting point is 00:52:29 you're going to obviously have A.J., because I won't be able to pick him. Unless. But you win a week before. Yeah, but I still can't pick him. Then you lose a week before, I'm sorry. I still can't pick him. Oh, no, because you're out of him.
Starting point is 00:52:40 Yes. Yeah. So you're going to have AJ at the Gland. Maybe that's a push. But these races are the only thing that we have against her is if the caution comes out. Yeah. And you've already passed our offensive. finish line and my guy's on the back side of the track.
Starting point is 00:52:55 Yeah. I'm going to the front. Yeah. It's cycling that way. That's how Kyle wants Sonoma last year. He got two cautious. These are two back-to-back wildcard weekends for us. Not us as in me and TJ. Us is in road course and then a plate race. Road course has produced great racing now. Oh, I love
Starting point is 00:53:11 them, man. These guys are good road course racers too. And the fuel strategy is fun. Yes. Oh, is there a guy on the tires? Pit, pit, pit, pit, pit. I mean, that's legitimately. Kyle Bush was not going to win Sonoma. No. He was running, you know, he was ways behind us, and we were actually pretty competitive. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:29 But we were past start, finish line. We were past pit road entry, and he wasn't. There was a guy on the backside of the track that went off, put it. Kyle hits pit road right before the car comes out, cycles him to the front. And Kyle Busch is obviously no slouch. You give Kyle Busch to lead. Anywhere. It's going to be hard to pass the guy.
Starting point is 00:53:46 Anywhere. So, and we actually came back up through with some tires late in the race, and we're pretty competitive. It's just, we just had to use a little bit too much of them up. I think we got to the top four or five-ish. We were right there. But it's good, man. There's pit strategy.
Starting point is 00:54:02 Cars going off, and you really have to pay attention to the spot or where those cars go off. If he stopped and if he's going to keep rolling. Because you can make a huge impact on the rest of your race. And they made it harder for us because it used to be when you ran off. You buried your car in dirt. We knew the caution was going to come out. We could say pit. Now you see the guy run off.
Starting point is 00:54:21 It's on asphalt. You don't know if he's going to. gonna get going. Yeah, or, you know, a lot of times, if you see a guy hit the tires, those tires out there just eat race cars. So, yeah. They're not dangerous. No.
Starting point is 00:54:32 It's like a safer barrier, but they shreds them. They shred the cars and they fling them around a little bit more. Yeah. With a safer barrier, they kind of hit and come to a stop. With tires, it kind of rebounds them back out. It can be a little bit, but there's no real tires that close. I mean, we put Matt the tires there a couple years ago, and it was pretty big, He didn't, it wasn't hurt at all, but it looked way worse than what it was.
Starting point is 00:54:56 Yeah. So, but it's a, it's one of my favorite places to go. I'm looking forward to going there. Yeah, watch turn four, watch turn seven, watch turn 11. That's where all the accidents happen. This is one of Clint's better tracks. He's won there, ran third there last year. It's a big test for Harry Scott Motorsports to see how far they've come in a year to be able
Starting point is 00:55:16 to put a good car under him to find out if he's able to run. Because if he's able to run top 10, top five, it says a lot for their company. So you're predicting top 10? Yeah, yeah, top 10. I mean, to your point, you've got to have the right strategy. Yeah, I mean, it could be, you could be a seven. Clint's a top five driver at this racetrack. You could be a seventh-place car and end up 20th if you're not on the right side of the strategy there.
Starting point is 00:55:39 Yeah, it's all matters when the yellows come out. Clint's certainly a top five guy at this place. Statistically, we'll back that up. Being fast doesn't hurt, and that's always in the, like, AJ, that'll be one of AJ's advantages. He'll be really fast. Really fast. But like before, if the top's eight, 10 cars are past pit road entry and the caution comes out, and it's close to a window, he's going to restart eighth or ninth or probably 10th, maybe. You know, you never know where you're going to come out.
Starting point is 00:56:03 And then he's got a knife all the way back through them guys. For sure. He'll be fine, man. I hope you guys tune in. Yeah. We'll have a lot to talk about next week. So thanks for doing the live call-ins. Maybe Kristen will join us next week.
Starting point is 00:56:15 Yeah, maybe. Maybe. I think she's getting her nails done. I think so. That's what I heard. You know, she's got a gluten allergy, though. Maybe she was drinking beer for breakfast and something happened. Yeah, maybe.
