Outside, door, bumper, clear of the 18th. 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? 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. Major, spotter of the 88 cup car, 7X-Finity and the 29 truck. And alongside of me today is Brett Griffin.

Freshly home from Kentucky Speedway. Spotted for Clint Boyer, Elliot Sadler, and we actually are all here today. We're all here. Kristen didn't make any poor life choices over the weekend. No bad food. No bad food porn. This is...

I feel like food porn is like the downfall of Kristen Bauer. I should just stop eating altogether. Yeah. And drinking. Happy belated and happy. lady birthday. Thank you. Yeah. Yes. Nothing like spending it in a Kentucky hotel. Oh, God. Man, let's just talk about Kentucky. Let's do it.

What do you think about that place, T.J. Where? Kentucky. Kentucky. Where? What's your favorite part of Kentucky? Leaving? I knew that was coming. Here's my struggle. Like you have, you have the Kentucky Derby. So much pride. You have Kentucky basketball. So much pride. You have the Louisville Sugger, his made in Kentucky so much pride. And then you have this place called Kentucky Speedway. And I swear to God, it's got to be the worst sport venue in America.

In terms of amenities, cleanliness, and just things that people as fans would actually enjoy. Yeah, it's fairly poorly taken care of when we're not there. Like, it really is. It's like they don't, I had to watch a friend of mine, a fellow spotter, climb the stairs. And Chris Osborne, who we had to have. the show, the elevator broke probably five times the first day we were there. Yeah. It should not do that.

It needs to be operational, what, three days a year? Yeah. Yeah. And so I watched him climb these stairs. And, you know, and I offered to carry his backpack and everything for him. But he refused because that's the, you know, that's the way he is. But, I mean, we got up there and he was not happy. You could tell he was in pain, you know, hurting because, I mean, he's still going through.

He's still healing. Still rehabbing. Yeah. Yeah. And it should not... This is a... I mean, this is a... supposed to be a big sports facility.

I mean, the stuff like that shouldn't be happening. It has a Sprint Cup series race. So apparently a kid got stuck on the elevator on Wednesday before we got there for like 30 minutes. And he came off. They finally got him off and he was just like soaked and mad. Like, I would be... It was 95 and 95% human. Yeah, so it's not like this race snuck up on them. You know, it's not like this race snuck up on them and it just showed up. They have plenty of time. And granted, the escalators didn't break that I know of. I honestly only went through the tunnel a couple times. Yeah, me too. But, you know, there's no excuse for the things not working. And it still can be pressure washed. It still can be clean. You know, there's just so many things that facility needs from an operational standpoint to be deserving of what it has.

Yeah, I mean, I give them credit for making the, I thought the track raced good before. Yeah. It was just too, it was really bumpy on the front stretch. That could have been, you know, they could have worked on just that. But I thought the corners had character and now. And I did actually enjoy watching the drivers have to drive their tails off because they were having to really drive it. And I enjoy those type of races because you can, they get loose. They mess up by themselves.

And that's how you passers or, that's how people make passes and stuff. and I thought the racing was actually... Yeah, so what was the general consensus of the repave? I don't think a lot of the drivers were fans with because they had their hands full the whole time. I've noticed every time the drivers have their hands full a lot, they don't, you know, a lot of times they're not... I mean, they were getting loose into the corner

and chasing up for the wall. And that, I mean, I don't... Not that I want to see guys wreck or anything, but I like seeing them have their hands full and have to struggle and stuff because that creates runs, guys can pass. Guys, if you mess up a little bit, here comes a guy with the run. You know, it's not just almost wide open rolling around the bottom, boring, you know?

I mean, when Kyle Bush during practice got it completely sideways. Oh, yeah. Both ways. I thought he was about to put it in a wall. That was probably one of the best saves I've ever seen, too. Yeah. It was amazing. Yeah. But, I mean, I personally liked watching the race because I knew every corner, I knew three and four, every lap could have had possibility of some good action.

Yeah. I think, you know, my driver's quotes, one of them said, man, for this to be a repave, it still has a couple big bumps in it. And another driver said, for this to be a repave, it's the worst repave I've ever seen. My personal opinion, watching the race is, yes, they were driving their tails off, but when you have a repave, it is a one groove racetrack, and one group racetracks are not entertaining. We had a couple good restarts. The truck race was probably the best race.

Obviously, the cup race in it with some drama, with, you know, fuel mileage. You know, the Xfinity race, Kyle dominated. It was interesting. The restart was interesting at the end, but after that race didn't look very as good to me. They could all stay about two, three car lengths apart, and the guy in second, it looked like there was a little bit of a draft kind of. Yeah. The guy in second could always get a little bit of a run on the guy.

They kind of hang with him, which was cool, but it makes for a pretty boring, you know, it makes for a pretty boring race, especially when they can't really get to each other in the corner. they just get a little bit too tight and then, you know, they get that run again. They get gone. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, look at how fast second and third were in the truck race compared to buyer and a leader.

I mean, John Hunter was way faster, but once you get there, there's nothing you can do unless that guy screws up. And that guy can't screw up, but. Yeah. It seemed like the trucks and the affinity cars didn't nearly struggle as much as the cup cars did. No. The Xfinity side, you really had to have the bottom on restarts. And we had a restart where we restarted sixth.

We got to fourth coming off a two. going into turn three, we're too wide, getting ready to take third. The key to taking third there means two things. Number one, if the yellow doesn't come out, you can run third versus fourth, but if the yellow does come out, you have the bottom and ultimately have a chance to win the race. So we're going in there too wide. Guess who's there waiting on us on the bottom, right? Smack dab in the middle of the groove.

Who? Mike Harmon. So we catch him. We have to stop. Now we lose third. We end up coming off fourth, which you say, okay, we only lost one position. It's upsetting, but it's not that upsetting. Then when the yellow comes out, it's very upsetting because your chance to win the race is now gone.

We ended up running six. But when you have a preferred groove like that and somebody's in the way that is much slower, it makes it tough. And I think we're going to talk about some more of that later. What did you guys think of the four practices and the garage being over at 92 hours? The RCR cars blew up, right, X-Finity? One of them did. 33 did. Yeah, the other one did too.

Did he? Yeah, I think so. The two or somebody did. Oh, the two did. The 33 hit the wall. Yeah, 33 hit the wall. He knocked a deck lid off his car. Yeah.

The two blew up. Yeah. The two blew up. And then three hit the wall in qualifying. That's what I'm thinking. Yeah. Yeah. So, RCR, I mean, let's give those guys credit. This is the best and most competitive RCR has been in a while in the Xcandy series.

They were faster. You know, they seemed to bridge the gap. I still think JGR had the fastest cars. We had the second fastest cars, J.R.M did. And RCR had really closed the gaps, I'm honest. But it's hard to say if that's going to stay that way because it is a repave. Yeah, we need a, we need a couple winners on that track to really, you know what I wish they would do? I wish they would just come out there and put a whole line of cones around the bottom groove.

And you Clint actually made the comment. So what they did before we got there is they rolled it in. They literally take, you know, trucks and they haul a 40-foot thing around that puts rubber on the track, right? So what Clint said was they should have done that out of the groove Because we're gonna run our end the groove And because what would happen is we would go in in the groove And when you got out of the groove you were wrecking So what he was suggesting next time Yeah, that's kind of what I meant

You just run it in higher Yeah Because you know they're gonna come in there and run the bottom That way there's That way the outside is there Yeah And it's fast, it's good And then you know obviously at the weekend

We'll run the bottom in as well And they'll both be competitive at that point Yeah So yeah What else we got here? You want to head into spot on, spot off? Let's kick it. Yeah.

Kick it. John West had a concussion. From kicking his own ass. No way. What's it from, though? Who knows, man? Well, I mean, he wrecks every single week. So you don't think this is from a wrecked?

I don't know. Probably brushing his teeth that morning. I don't know. I mean, he's still the only guy I've ever seen the body slamming. himself. So there is potential of that cost of it. He did a DDT though. I mean it was to himself. To himself. True. But yeah. I mean, that's impressive. That's that's hard to do. I thought it was impossible. Could you imagine baselining him for a concussion test? He had to start at like five years old. Oh. Jeez. So I'm guessing that's going to be a spot?

I don't even know. I mean, it's probably not the first one. I mean, we're going to have to come up with a verb, John Wessing. You know? The wreck that he was in was... Chicken Manning? Yeah. The wreck we had was hard. That wrecked he was in was hard.

I mean, don't give me wrong. The one he calls himself or the one that... Yeah, at the end. Yeah, the one before the whatever you want to call that. Yeah. The one when he wrecked himself was hard. Yeah. Intentionally wrecked himself.

Yeah. And intentionally DDTed himself. This guy. I don't even know what to say to this guy. I mean, he didn't get hit by any fist or anything, so that wasn't a problem. Nah. You know what that reminds me of? He's like that me, myself and Irene guy.

He's just starting hitting himself. Yeah. Spot on, spot off. Gallagher Rex and takes out Kyle. Man, I say spot off on this deal because I actually thought Kyle was three wide and maybe he didn't know it, came down a little bit. Josh and I were texting back and forth a little bit

while this was going on and he was in Surfside drinking 22-ounce beers looking at girls in bikinis. But, man, I haven't seen a replay of this. I felt like this was maybe Kyle's fault. Yeah, I haven't seen a replay of it, and I thought they were three wide. They were definitely three wide. Looking at three wide, into turn three, it looks like the middle groove, it really loses a lot of air. Yeah.

Because that's where the 21 in the cup race had a problem, too, and he's not normally like that either. No. So it looks like a- He snapped sideways. Yeah, it looks like that might have been, I don't know. You know, Kyle's not going to give much room anyway. Yeah, what I was telling Brett is when they interviewed Kyle coming out of the infill care center, You could tell he wasn't saying what he was feeling.

He was being very sarcastic. Sarcastic. Yeah. Which was good because he wasn't. Kyle also had, I think, a different spotter that night. And different spotters said different things, different ways. I don't think Herschman did, Kyle, because Herschman has a full-time truck deal with that Byron kid that's running for a championship.

So I think Kyle may have had a subspoter. I apologize that we don't have more facts on this. But what I saw on TV was Kyle screwed up. Yeah, that's what it would look like to me too We need homework from now and Josh, send us links with videos Yeah, we need links with videos Anything else? You want coffee when you get in here? Please do I don't drink coffee

Chick-fil-A I hate Chick-fil-A. With the fruit cup for her home girl Because she can't have anything for gluten girl Gluten Girl over here Spot on, spot off the Xfinity race starting at 845 PM Spot off and go to the next one Geez, oh man Got to the hotel like almost midnight

But here's my two issues with this start time. Number one, Kentucky. Number one, it's late Saturday night. Your fan base, this is Xfinity series. It's not the Cup series. This is a hardcore fan base. We have proven your hardcore fans are 50 plus years old, right? They're going to bed.

And we also have proven, via marketing releases and press releases, that NASCAR wants to attract younger fans. Well, my 9-year-old is also going to bed. So, yeah, we have the central time and Pacific time and all that stuff, but our hardcore audience is still in the East Coast. It is absurd to race that lake. That is a long day, too, for everyone involved. Yeah, it's a very, especially if you go to the roof and stand up there and do all the series.

Yeah, I did a poll, and I don't have it right in front of me, but 60 plus percent of people the last time I looked said that was too late. It was absurd. Yeah. Spot on, spot off. Car catching fire at Kentucky Speedway. Yeah That wasn't even

In the race Yeah I mean Spot off I guess for me You gotta be somewhat You gotta be somewhat What I'm not looking for you? Did it just like combust?

Is that what happened? You gotta be dumb I don't want to lit up fire You gotta be not dumb You really have to I mean I understand if you want to go and drink And have it but if I don't know even how it started I don't think they were at least

I know it started in the cab there was a grill at the back window. Well, they said that wasn't the reason. It started in the cab. I bet you that helped. They said the fire started in the cab, though. Is what I read. Yeah.

And then what the grill acted as an accelerant? Well, it had a propane bottle on us, of course. But that would have blown the grill off the truck. No, those things aren't made to, like, blow up. No. No one got hurt, right? Not that I know of. Spot on for me being distracted for the 30 minutes.

Yeah, luckily we were under yellow. So it's like, what's that fire? I was like, I don't know. He's like, Brett, we're coming to the green. I'm like, I'm still looking at this fire. Yeah, we were all watching it. And it was a big fire. Did you imagine having that car next to it?

Someone out to leave? So some guy thought it was okay to go get something off the back of the truck during the fire. And this thing burned for 15 minutes before fire trucks got there. People were there. Police were there. Security was there. They're keeping people back. Here comes this guy runs up to the back of the truck, tries to grab something.

I don't know what it was. The cops grabbed him and faceplant him and handcuff him. If he didn't have a concussion, I'll kiss John Wes's ass. I mean, they body slam this dude. They coughed him. Yeah. They had him down and cuffed. He was trying to get his grill, man.

The grill's expensive. Yeah. Brand new Z-71 pickup trucks burnt to the ground. The poor people around them, too. Oh, yeah. That's the most. They said they had to pull the dude from the truck in the front. Well, that's not true.

I actually followed up with a friend. So there was nobody in it? Nobody was in it. So where did it say it started? They didn't say where it started. No, I didn't get that much. I just know that it was big. Yeah, it was rolling.

Imagine this. I go, oh, there's a fire in a parking lot. And your friends start tweeting you from home. Wait, it's at your truck on time. I mean, the helicopter shots were good. Yeah. Imagine having that car next to it. They had the whole glass roof and stuff.

And it was actually on fire partly too. Oh, yeah. Imagine coming out after the race. Oh, how mad. You'd be like, Oh, man, let's go beat traffic. Hashtag Uber. Oh, my gosh.

Jesus Christ. You guys want to head into Fastlane? Let's do Fastlane. Do we have a choice? No, you don't. Okay. All right, so if you haven't listened to the podcast before, I'm going to give TJ and Brett a topic to debate, and I'm going to alternate who responds first.

They each get 30 seconds, and then whoever responded first gets a 30-second rebuttal. Four of the topics will be racing, and then we'll have some non-racing topics. First one, Brett, you're up. Hi. Kislauski has won back-to-back weekends in the Spring Cup series and four wins in 2016. With the way the Fords are running right now, is BK the top contender for the Cup championship? Man, he's certainly fast. There's no doubt Brad and his team are back-clicking on all four cylinders.

Last year, our eight cylinders in this series. Last year, Joy Lugano was kicking Brad's butt pretty good. This year, it seems like there's been a little bit of a role reversal. I still don't think he's the favorite at this point to win the championship, just from my standpoint. Yeah, you know, and I really thought about this until right now, but I think he, when he did he win the championship, this is about the time that he got hot. It was Pocono when they caught the caution and the,

it started raining in the tunnel turn. He had pit road cycle, so the lead, holds him off and goes on to win a handful of races. So he's starting to get hot at the right time. So to me, he's probably, right now to me, would be the favorite. I think when we look at the 10 races that composed the championship, ship. There's a lot of mile and a half tracks in there. And I realize he just won at a mile and a half track, but it was a fuel-mage race. The 78, the four, some of those guys certainly have a lot more speed of mile and a half than those guys have. So that's why I'm saying he's not the favorite for me. T.J., do you all have a better idea than the caution clock in the truck series? Yeah, just race. Just race. And if the caution comes out, we slow down. No, I, you know, I don't mind the caution clock. It kind of puts a little bit of strategy into it. You know, but some guys, because sometimes it's really close to a fuel window.

I think that's kind of cool when it gets close to a fuel window and some guys might have to pit right before it if they don't come down. It kind of cycles the field around a little bit and makes it interesting. We're trying to break up the monotony. That's what this thing is intended to do. If we want to do that, put smaller fuel cells in these cars. Run 12, 13, 14, 14 gallon fuel cells instead of 20 plus gallon fuel cells. That way the timing will work out to where every 20 or so minutes,

we're going to have a different set of events take place. Right now, we don't have that. So if that's what we're trying to get to, there's a more organic way to get to it than a clock that somebody hits a button and the yellow light comes on. Yeah, so far I've been fairly impressed with it how it works in the truck series. I'm not 100% sure it would work moving up.

That's why they're doing it in the show. Yeah, I like the idea when you get to the Cup series, you know, the fastest car is your race, man. If the college comes out, somebody wrecks, caution comes out. Kyle Bush completely dominated the Xfinity race on Friday. Friday night. He lapped the field all the way up to the 11th before NASCAR threw a caution. Do other drivers, especially the younger ones, benefit from having Kyle out there?

Or do they get irritated when he races in Xfinity and truck? Brett? I think he needs to stay out of the truck series. I really do. I don't see a lot of benefit for anyone when a guy of his caliber and the caliber of equipment that he's in is out there. And look, let's be honest. In the Xfinity series, he's in the best equipment right now. His teammates, when he's running first, they're running second and third for the most part. So I think it's good for that series. You know, it's just for the Xfinity, yes, for the trucks, no. Yeah, I don't think he's, you know, if he was taking a B grade car or a C grade car

and running up front with it and running with them guys around him. Right now he's just, I don't think they'll learn anything from other than he can hold his truck wide open and they can't, basically. I mean, that's not really teaching a lot of them guys anything. Yeah. I don't think just with the equipment that he's in, he's teaching them guys anything, but, you know, his car is a lot better. You know, he's still a great, one of the best talents we have in this series as any of them, but I don't know.

I think if you're an Xfinity driver, you've already kind of made your way through trucks, and you've already kind of said, hey, I deserve a shot when you get to this series. You need to be able to race against veterans like Casey Kane, Kevin Harvick, you know, Brad Caslowski, Joey Lagano, Kyle Busch, all those guys are running. running and they're running because they have a sponsor. They're running because they bring something to the table for their teams and their partners. So it's absolutely a good thing when he's in the Xfinity series. Four of the five rookie of the year contenders ended up wrecking at Kentucky. We obviously know they are talented drivers is figuring out the repave to blame. T.J.

I don't think figuring out the repaves to blame. I just think they are more likely to put their cars in riskier positions because they don't know the difference yet. And I think that was part of what happened at Kentucky. They just don't have the experience a lot of the other guys have and they're willing to step over the line to make up spots and it bit them there. They all unloaded and practiced very fast. And they did that because they don't know any better. They got into the race.

They're still very fast and they wrecked because they haven't put their cars in those positions on repaved racetracks before in a cup car. So yes, the repave is to blame. When you look back, you know, Blaney's move getting into three. if he lifts and gives a guy, guys on both sides of them a little more room and he just falls in line. That doesn't happen. Well, he thought he could be aggressive like he can on other tracks and he couldn't. Yeah, they're just, they don't know and they're just way more likely to put their selves out there and riskier positions.

You know, a lot of these other guys, they creep up on it. You know, you've got guys like Chase and Ryan, they come out there and they start off up there because they don't know. They get real close to the line. They haven't wrecked enough yet to know the limits. So, yeah, I mean, it's fun to watch and fun to have, so. Ding, ding, ding. There you go. Geez, we got it.

The off-the-wall topic. Tim Duncan retired from the NBA yesterday. In your opinion, will Tim go down in the books that's one of the best to ever play the game? Brett. Yes, and here's the cool part about it. This guy played 19 seasons and said very, very gracefully and humbly, I'm done, I'm retiring. And here's a guy that came in from, I think, another country, right? Went to Wake Forest is a complete badass in college.

Gozen has this long NBA career. Doesn't look for the height. Doesn't change teams. Doesn't do some of these selfish things that people do to gain more publicity. He's absolutely one of the best. Yeah, he's been, he's got the most 50 plus win seasons maybe that I saw than anybody. Wow. Yeah, I think he's only had one that was under 50.

So he's been there through, you know, the whole time in San Antonio. he's been an icon there and probably be in the Hall of Fame. Absolutely, probably. Oh, 1,000 percent he's in the Hall of Fame. He's a first-year Hall of Fame guy. I mean, here's just a guy that when you look back at his career, you never go, wow, look how much attention he drew to himself. You look at Dennis Robbins, you know, who he played with.

You look at LeBron James, who he played with. Like, those guys, they like the attention. They like the show. I mean, LeBron's pre-game show to me is entertaining. I don't hate on a player like that, but Tim is a very humble player in the league. Very good role model. Yeah.

I mean, never gets in trouble. Yeah. Never gets in, you never see him argue, like. I think he's from a different country. I don't think he's from a different country. Oh. Where do he come from? I don't know.

Florida. How old is he 70? Is he 72 yet? I mean, a guy's been playing my whole wife. He's 40. Kentucky. He was born in the Virgin Islands. Well, he's not from a, I go, do we own that, right?

Yeah, the U.S. We've talked about the Virgin Islands before. Four. Is he from the U.S. Virgin Islands? Yes. Or the British Virgin Islands? The U.S. Virgin Islands.

Well, he's not from here. He's not from Moresville. Right. So I got that part right. You got that crap. Yeah. Well, he's never gets in trouble man, never argues of somebody. He's a big car guy, too.

He's actually been to the racetrack some and did some car shows on TV. I didn't know. He'd been to the track. Seven footer? Yeah, he's big. I remember going to Wake basketball games when I was a kid and him and him and Randolph Childress. Yeah.

They were killing. Yeah. Wow, man. Thanks for a good off-the-wall topic, Josh. I like it. Yeah. Talk about something I know something about. Hashtag, AskDBC.

You know something about everything. No. Not when you start talking about movies and stuff. Because he's never seen Indiana Jones. Any of them. It still baffles me. I'm sorry. Oh, that's right.

Geez, oh, man. Any of them. Any of them. Have you seen Finding Dory? No, not yet, but I'm going to. Because I think Illand is a generous as funny as hell. She's so funny. Yeah, you really need to.

to see Indiana Jones. Finding Nemo was one of the best movies ever. I love that movie. You're going to take your kids? They've already been. They've just going to go by yourself. They've gone. Yeah, they've already been.

Yeah, they, I haven't been home. I wasn't home whenever Madeline went. I'm supposed to be in India right now testing, but that kind of got messed up, so I'm not an idiot. I'm not glad you're here. I haven't been home in a month. TJ knows how that goes. Your clothes look clean.

You don't see. Yeah. They are clean. It's a brand new shirt? No. He just bought it on the way here. I've got Kristen's hair on it. I'm going to have a hard time explaining that when I get home.

This black hair on a white shirt. Nobody in my house has a black hair. You sure they ain't one of mics? Look a little long. Might be one of those goatee hairs. Oh, man. All right. So Josh is Josh.

Joshi has chosen the Pest Your Funniest Five. Hashtag Ask DBC Questions. So at the end, we will choose their favorite question. Hala. At SVT, Cobra John. Drivers get ready for races by quote-unquote watching film. Do they have access to anything beyond the TV broadcast? Kristen, do you watch any film on your birthday?

Any good films? No. No? Nothing. Is there? Nothing? Are you sure business? These guys do have resources beyond film.

Since we've gone to EFI, they're able to look at throttle traces and how much breaks these guys are using. And they have team debriefing meetings. So, man, yeah, the resources now. or somewhat endless, right? Yeah, they have a lot of info to go over. And usually the engineers put it together in a file. Yeah, something they can easily see. And visually, they show them, you know, graphs and charts and track diagrams.

This guy's lifting here. This guy's rolling back into it here. Talk about dark fish, too, man, because I'm not sure everybody knows what that is. Explain what it is and how drivers use it. Basically, they record your lap, and they record another driver's lap, and they overlay it over each other.

can see exactly where he's beating you or you're losing ground or gaining ground on him. So if you drive into a corner five car lanes deeper than the pulse hitter and they overlay your lap, you'll see his car go way behind you. But when you get to the middle of the corner, he's back in the throttle and driving by you and you'll see the difference. It's like what we saw in Olympics when I was a kid with snow skiers. You know, the fastest guy would go down the mountain and then they overlay the ghost skier with the current skier. That's what these guys are doing. It's just like, you know, the first version of this, right?

Uh-uh. Mario Kart. Mario Kart did it? Oh, with it goes, Mario. Yeah. That's exactly what it is. Yeah. For sure.

A little bit, yeah. Drop some knowledge on you all right there. At Martha Lemieux, I don't know, 36 asks. How many times did you have to call for help with the elevator at Kentucky? Martholomew? Is that like Bartholomew? You said Martha Lemieux. It's Martha Lemieux.

Make me alone. Sorry. How many times did you have to call for help? I never, I avoided it. Honestly. You took the stairs every time? I took the stairs down every time, walked him once when it was broke, and I wouldn't get on it if there was more than like six people on the elevator

because it had been breaking off and on, and I was not getting stuck. Did it have an elevator operator? So the, you know, what's funny is a few of us, I didn't do it, but a few of the spotters were tweeting like, maybe Kentucky Speedway can call Otis the elevator company and get a sponsorship from them or something. Look, I mean, put a banner up, get an elevator. I mean, and Otis replied. They're like, we're on it.

So they had a rep there. DM us for more details. We're giving you the details now, asshole. The elevator won't work. That guy was actually there. The very first time I got to the elevator, there was a guy in an Oda shirt there waiting. Basically for it to break because he knew it was going to.

And it would break and he'd swap a part out. And he'd go on and break again, swap another part. Why not just? They need a Sherry Berry. Why does it keep breaking? What parts are they putting on that thing? Who sang that song, Rick and Ball? Miley Cyrus.

Yes, Cyrus. Let her sing it live right there How's it go? Sing it If I know how it went I'd sing it You know how it goes No I can't I can't get it right now Says Wrecking Ball

My favorite song that she sang was like Climing Ball So you know that song but not Wreckingball Such a touching song, The Climb. You don't remember all them gift files or Jif files That were she goes It's very inspiration She'd swing by and the Wrecking Ball

And go back and forth Oh, gosh, man, where you live? You hum it. You're in a closet all the time. Humb it, man. He's coming out. Humming, and I'll do the words. I came in like a wreck.

I couldn't get it. Yes. You got it now? Now I got it. You know, I don't know the words? You got little girls. So Maloney, you know what she tells me? We're listening to that.

She likes that song. She goes, Daddy, you know I like this song? I'm like, oh, no, no. Please don't let me something bad. She goes, she goes, because it says, I will always want you. And I'm like, oh, you know how to, you want a toy, don't you? I thought you were going to say something about twerking right there. No.

Oh, my gosh. Your little girls dance, too, man. My hips don't move like hers already. Yeah, I know. At Skyote Bill asked Brett, you repeatedly tell Elliot to be smart if you don't remind him. Does he tend to do stupid stuff? Man, yeah. I mean, why wouldn't I say yeah?

No, Elliot, being smart means a lot of different things. You know, in a plate race, it means don't block to it. aggressively if we don't have to. This weekend it was let's not hit a lap card that's in the way on the bottom. This next weekend. This next weekend is going to be when that 74 is 15 car lanes in front of you. Yeah.

Be smart here. I can't believe we're even relevant in this conversation. That's good. I promise you that you're going to say it, man. Loudon. Oh, you know how Loudon is trying to hold the bottom sometimes? Oh, yeah. It ain't going to be nothing to go.

See, and here's my problem. I spot like I talk. Like, I don't put this effort into being politically correct and making sure I have this cool sounding accent that some of these guys do. Some of these guys actually have a cool posture when they hit their button. Like, we're not going to name names. But, like, I don't give a . Really. You know, I just kind of.

Who has a posture when they push the button? Oh, look around, bro. I don't watch it that much. Just can you not? You know, Tiger Woods and some of those guys. Can you give me some initials? Now, they have these, you know, moves, and all of a sudden it's like, they push their button.

They're nodding their heads. They're looking over the rail. And then they, oh, get it to release. And it's like, dude, we're spotting. Why are you this much physically into it? Sit on a cooler. Oh, you're talking about spotters. Prop your chin on the fence and spot.

Yeah. Yeah, I'm talking about spotters. I never even really noticed any of that. But anyway, I'm pretty candid and unfiltered. Come on. I really just, without naming names, who is it? I just don't think of it. At Hensley underscore Daniel asks,

who is the most famous person you have met through racing. Ooh, that's a tough one. Kristen, you go first than this one. Bradley Cooper. Who's that? Josh. Josh is like, I just don't care.

I only like Bradley Cooper because he's an Eagles fan. And he's hot. Is he hot? He's mildly attractive. I guess 50 cents. Fitty. Fitty. Everybody in the club getting tips.

See, I know that song. Go ahead. I don't know. Probably Peyton Manny. That's a big one. I gotta go with Bon Jovi. You met Bon Jovi? I'm a Bon Jovi fan, man.

Dude. About after all that Bill's debacle deal. I met Bon Jovi. He was like, hey man, I'm Johnny, and I was like, uh, I'm, uh, I'm Brett. And holy shit, you're Johnny Bon Jovi. Elliot's in the background. Be smart, Brett. Yeah, be smart, man.

Don't tackle this guy. You have a tomato sauce product. Actually, Kelly Pickler. She was really nice. She's not that famous. It says who's the most, it don't say who's the nicest famous person you've met. She drank Jack Daniels on the rocks. That's hard.

It's hard. But she's not the most famous person you've met through racing. Yeah. Dude, you've met race car driver. Cole Witt is more famous than Kelly Bickler. No, he's not. Come on. God.

You can't say Kelly Bickler. I would, another one would probably be maybe ludicrous. Ludicrous. Luda. Yeah, I mean, back in the day, he was pretty popular. He's got a song that he's got. Yeah, move. Get out the way.

He's got a few of them, man. He's got a line that I think's awesome. Welcome to Atlanta. Sweat pants, hair tied, something chilling with no makeup on. That's when you're the prettiest. I hope that you don't take it wrong. That's my favorite ludic. I thought that was going to turn into the, up on the roof, roof.

He had a lot of good songs. So when he was there, he came to Daytona, and he sat on the pit boss, and I think I told it before, but Ryan Newman. Yeah. Ryan Newman flips over on the front stretch, and I thought you don't say flipped him off. No. Ryan Newman crashed on the front stretch and hits the grass starts rolling, and I thought he didn't know what he was scared. He was? Like he's going to flip over here.

He was just like, oh my, he's witnessed a wreck right in front of him. It was pretty close, and he stared at that car. He looked over me and he goes. man is that beep, beep, okay? You know,

is that you know, I was like, I mean, I saw him get out and man, he looked like, I think that might have been

his last race. I don't know. Yeah. He was scared, though. We were supposed to have Cuba, Coopo Gooting Jr.

On our pit box at Daytona. Now I think Luda's hanging out with like Marco Andretti and really?

Hamilton, Lewis Hamilton. Yeah, they were all overseas somewhere. So he's like a big race fan? Yeah. He actually,

uh, I think he came to the Dell Jr's 30th birthday party. Yeah, that didn't end well for me. Who wasn't at that party? I crashed in the middle of that party. Like, in the middle. Like, I had a John Westmore by myself. Slick dance floor.

Concussion. Bobby Brown, patting leather shoes on. It did not end well. I don't, I remember it, but I don't remember it. That makes any sense. It ended with, let's go. You're done. And I was like, I am done.

Be smart. Del Jets bartending. I mean. That's funny. Alvis was there, Alice impersonator. Yeah. Pretty fun. Luda's in the corner.

He's chilling. Luda. He is not big as Casey Kane, though. He's little. Little dude. Skinny little dude. Yeah, he's not that that big. But he's pretty famous.

He's famous. He's famous. He's more famous now. I don't know if he's more famous. He's more famous now for his movies than he is for... Fast and Furious, right? Yeah. See, I watch Fast and Furious.

Man. Wow. Get it. Surprised, actually. This is the question of the week right here. At Jsteen 2-234 asks. Which single driver should Kristen Bauer start dating? Don't be a homewrecker.

Don't be a home wrecker. Thanks for the caveat. Is there a reputation around here? I'm trying to see if I got six bucks. We're going to send this dude a hat. Here, keep the chain. Send that dude a hat. If it will send one.

That guy deserves a hat. Now, if she can't be a homewrecker and sleep with a married guy, T.J., who do you think? As I prefer not to. Thank you. Who do you think is, uh, is, uh, Is he single? Who do you think? No, we were talking about which driver, which single driver should she start dating?

Yeah, that's what I was saying. Is he single? Who? Mike Harmon? They said driver. He does drive. Not rider. He does drive.

They didn't say successful driver. We're using that term loosely. Driver. Let me think for a minute. All right. So I'm going to get aggressive since TJ's five time. Oh, aggressive. Good.

Get aggressive. I think we have to do a couple matchmaking questions first. Do you want to be a cougar? Do you want someone your age? Do you want an older guy who's going to take care of you? So basically we're looking at a Ryan Blaney versus a Casey Kane, which he's not really single. Or we're going to like a Tony Stewart guy. So we need to know younger, closer to your age, or older.

What do you want to want? You. Yeah. Nothing. Yeah. Younger, older. I don't have a preference on age. Okay, so it's wide open on age.

Morgan Shepherd, if he's single- Probably has to be taller. Yes, she doesn't like... My height or taller, yeah. How tall are you with those shoes? Well, that rolls out, everybody in the field. How tall are you with no shoes on? 5-10.

Damn, how tall are you... Do you normally wear... 6-2 with these heels. Do you normally wear heels? No, I mean, on... Like, when I have to dress up, yeah, but I have a huge sneaker collection. I just wear combers or vans everywhere.

So you rock 5-11 on a pretty normal day. But you're 5-10 naked, 5-11 with clothes on. Yes. Yes. Okay. So, I mean, does this guy need to be taller than you when you're naked or when you have clothes on?

There's a difference. Yeah. Without any shoes, he can be my height. Okay, so, but when you go out, you know you're going to put heels on. Okay, so naked 5-10. Dude. Okay. Then I'll say this, a guy that doesn't mind that I'm a little taller than him.

Okay. So he has to be confident in his height. A little? Tougher than you. How many, I mean, I hate to drag this out, but how many drivers are even 5-10? None? They're single. Not only 5758.

You are. You are going to come up with it. We are going to figure this out. We got to do one suggestion. Josh, you got any suggestions? We've had 24 hours to think about this. They have to be attractive, too. No, they don't.

Yes, they do. Not at that point. Attractive comes from the end. Haven't you read those books? What about chicken man? Chicken man? And he's got a rigid jaw line. What does that mean?

Is he single? If he were married, would he remember that he's married? You guys both got some medical issues. He's got concussions, you got gluten stuff going on. Yeah. Y'all can hang out in the hospital. Yeah, take trips to the hospital and stuff. Yeah.

I like Zach's piece. Okay, so the other end of spectrum, maybe Spencer Gallagher. I mean, yeah. Do you like the clumsy funny type? I don't know whose dad's got more money. The dad that owns Allegiant Air or the dad that owns Zaxby's. I don't know. That's a tough one.

Why don't you just put fried chicken on an airplane and marry both of us? Done. Polygamy. I'm open to it. Polygamy. I get bored. Yeah. That's a weird deal.

Probably anybody want more wife than one. Like two wives. Are you shh-k-me? Two wives? Three wives? Why? Yeah. You want two wives?

No, I don't know. I don't. I want two wives. One's plenty. Like when you're younger, you were perfectly happy with your wife. Yeah. When you're younger. I can't handle another one.

I mean, when you're younger, two, three girlfriends is kind of fun. But two or three wives? Are you kidding me? You imagine all of them on the same menstrual cycle? What's wrong with you? You just stay away for her. Don't even come home for a week. What's wrong is I'm married.

I have one. I know what it would be like most of all that. I just got mine empty the dishwasher. Things are going. Things are looking up. So Jay Steen gets the hat. He has to. Great.

That's a great question. Yeah. We like talking about your personal life on here. We don't understand why you don't. For the millions. Yeah. For the millions. I have no personal life.

Canada. I travel every weekend. I think we should maybe. I think. Yeah. What are the odds that, you know, maybe we can make a cardboard cut out of you and give it away as a prize. Oh my God.

We'll do a go-fund me because that'll be about $8,000. You know what I'm thinking? What's that baseball movie where they take the piece off every week? They win? Oh, Major League. I think. So who you guys got for New Hampshire? I got a pee.

We're going to take a break. I don't think I can hold it. You don't... I'm having so much fun in here. While Brett Peas... Exalta has given their website exulta racing.com a fresh coat of paint to get all of the latest news, photos, and the schedule for Dales Exulta number 88 Chevrolete head over to exaltterracing.com where you can find photo galleries, schedules, and all the race reports your heart desires.

Fresh coat of paint. I like how they worded that. New Hampshire predictions. No, no, no, no. Let's talk about Kentucky predictions. And who won? Because it was not T.J. Major. Gretzky.

Hala. Branging it. My man, my man, Austin, Dillon. I don't think he ran top 20 all day, but he'd be Ryan Blaney somehow. Yeah, yeah. You know, that was a... It's all that he had to do. There was a...

I feel like Ryan Blaney was a good pick, too, there. Solid pick. There's not many places. You know, that's one of the places Pense cars usually run good at, obviously. So I was pretty disappointed to see that happen. But we will gather our composure and move to the next one.

Yeah. So what is the next? The next one's New Hampshire. Yeah. It's a flat one-mile track, built more for IndyCar modified style racing. TJ, how do you go with a sprint cup driver here. What are you looking for?

Let's see. I need that list. They should put me like on, they should put me a TJ on serious XM during a truck race and just let us call it like we won't. That would be amazing. Like uncensored, just call it. Yeah. I'd listen.

Let's see this list here. Yeah, that one dude's got a good list. Yeah, he's good at it. Look, here's the list right here. Josh printed it for us one time when we were in the cool kid club. Yeah, but they run out of color and they ink thing. That was like $6 a week and we couldn't afford that. So the blues are still available for me.

I love any windows. Oh, man. Wow. T.J., you can't take forever again. You take forever. Listen, every time. And I'm very impatient. Just pick one.

You're going to lose anyway. The score is 11 to 7. So at this point, my math is telling me that we get to Richmond and I'm ahead by 11, I can't lose. So I'm going to continue to be aggressive. Listen, I'm going to go with Clint. Clint Boyer in New Hampshire. 10 4. Clint has a

really good record at New Hampshire. If you don't mind, Josh, I'd kind of like to see my list too. Clint's teammates, Michael Annette, those guys are Am I in the red? Man, I'm going to get aggressive right here. Who's T. Dillon? Tide Dillon?

He's going to with Clint. I think Clint's going to have a good weekend, man, so I think I got a pony up here. I'm going to... I'm saving my heavy hitters for the end of the year here. Yeah, for when I'm 11 ahead and it ain't going to matter. Yeah, we'll see.

I'm going to go with none other than the driver of the number 31, Caterpillar Chevrolet, Mr. Jeff Burton, just kidding. Ryan Newman. Ryan Newman looks like Shrek. If you took him and Robbie Riser and you made those two guys have a baby online with however y'all do that Photoshop and stuff, I swear to God it would look like Shrek.

Should we do that? Because Robbie has like the Shrek head and Ryan has like the no-neck because he's just big tough guy. have a neck. So like, if you put them two guys together, made babies, that kid would look like Shrek for Pamela Green. Anyway, Ryan Newman. So.

I hate to pull against my guy this week, though. So I hope T.J. actually wins this one. And, uh, when's the mud wrestling match? What mud wrestling? With you and Mike. So, so let's. So it's rant time and I wonder what we can ran about. So let's, you guys got anything?

You got any rants? You want me to go? Anyone have a specific topic or person? I don't ever get to go, so. So, so that I don't look like a biased asshole. Kristen. How do you define competing? Seriously.

Just in life, how do you define competing? People, I don't know. You do know. You're an intelligent girl. How do you define competing? When you have people or like in athletics or what, just in general? Yeah, in general. We're competing in spelling bee or we're competing at golf.

You're people who are of the relatively same talent skill level working to try and beat each other. Beat each other. How would you, T.J., define racing? You go out there and you try to beat the other guy who's trying to beat you. Josh, when is the last time you saw Mike Harmon compete and race? Compete and race.

Are we going with our definition? I've seen him ride around at racetrack a lot here recently. Yeah. Compete is relatively... So those weren't my opinions. were y'all's opinions. So, okay, I have a lot of the same opinions. So here's what I respect

about Mike Harmon. He works hard every week. He trains hard every week. He shows up at the racetrack every week. He attempts to make these races every week. And he makes most of them. And when he does make them, that's where I begin to have a problem because Josh is a big golfer. Josh, is there a rule against talking in someone's back swing during golf? Yes. No, there's not. There's no rule. It is literally a game of etiquette. There is a gentleman's agreement that you don't do that. In Racing, the same gentleman's agreement exists when you're racing around the racetrack. You always let the leaders have an opportunity to race without impeding and changing the outcome of the race. That's what happened for me on Friday night in Kentucky is we were competing for the win.

We're sitting there. This is not that part of the show. We're sitting there advancing to third when we run across a lap car in the groove. And I think TJ will agree. This was a single groove racetrack. And Mike was in the way. and it pissed me off because I'm in the heat of the moment. I'm trying to win the race.

And I go down there and basically ask his spotter, man, what is he doing? And of course I was animated and a lot more passionate than I am right now because I was mad. And so I guess he went back and told Mike that I was mad. Well, then Mike's like, man, I'm going to kick your ass. Well, whether or not he could kick my ass, I don't know. But if he's still going to be in the way, that's all for not. The bigger problem is these lap cars, and it's not just him.

It's week in and week out there in the way. but we saw the 97 car who TJ and I both had a problem with early in the race. I went to his spotter, Dick Coleman, and said, hey, man, get him to move up, get him to get out of the only fast way around the racetrack. He did it. The spotter did it. The driver did it. The rest of the night you had no problem.

So all you're really asking for is the guys that aren't competing, that aren't really racing, is to be considerate. And I think that's what it boiled down to. Yeah, but if they do that, then we don't have these conversations. We don't have rants, man. Yeah, I don't, you know, Mike, there's places that he, you know, I know he's out there making a living doing it. I respect that. There's places that, like, Michigan to me was really, really bad.

You know, you go into the corner, you have to adjust to, you have to be able to hold a line at some point. We can't keep avoiding you. Not to mention at some point, it could cause a wreck and somebody could get hurt. So, you know, I don't want to see that happen. And he doesn't need to tear up a car. Yeah. So, but, you know, if you got a lift. two car lane sooner to hold the bottom, do it.

I think in our whole thing, too, is the guys that are out there competing, they respect Mike's position on being a slower lap car. They don't want to tear up his car because they know he's still racing a Dodge, and I don't think Dodgers are even produced anymore. So they're racing him with respect in the sense that they're not wrecking him. I know Eric Jones wrecked him somewhere earlier this year, and Mike charged in his truck on a fight. Well, he wanted to fight because his livelihood just got destroyed.

Well, in my opinion, my livelihood got destroyed the other night, in terms of me being able to win that race. So you've got to be courteous. You know, it goes back to the etiquette gentleman's agreement and can you do it or not do it. And in my opinion, he wasn't doing it the other night. I pointed it out and now he wants to fight, which. He sent you the address. Yeah.

Yeah, I've never proactively sought a fight. And unfortunately, my to-do list is pretty long at this point and he's not on it. I just hope he stays out of the way the rest of the year. Simple. I thought that address was to Lancaster's or something. Meat for some barbecue. Yeah. Maybe I'll need to talk it out over a turkey leg or something.

Yeah, I've lost 40 pounds. I'm not going back to that. Turkey leg. Turkey's good for you. Yeah, you need to update your LinkedIn picture. I've never been on LinkedIn but once. Well, it was like 40 pounds ago. I know.

Sring me. Like that Photoshop thing, just suck the fat. You know they suck the fat out of American Trainer in one of her videos, and she got mad and made them put it back on. Like, it was this big deal. deal. So just suck the fat out of me. I won't care.

Make me look like 165. Yeah. Fix the gap. You look great. Whiting my teeth. Make me look pretty. All right. So I guess we better get out of here.

We'd like to thank the vultures are circling. Exalta. The other podcast. Exalta. And one main for letting us come in here and do this stuff and have a good time. Give us some feedback. Leave a review. Leave a review.
