We'll talk the Wild End of the World's 600, Chris Busher flipping, the Indy 500, some F1, Noah Gregson and Jeff Burton, plus more. Let's get it started. We did the best in the booth. Stump in the Monday to tell you the truth. Giving the thinnies and breaking the rules.

Good call to the holler to bring it to you. Casey, you pretty, Freddie, you fat. TJ, you suck. Breaking so bad. Jason is pacing. I'm facing kind of plate in this racing. He's going to go mad Looking for Freddy, he's killing the bottle

Casey is making messers like a taut The tweet something stupid then don't even bother The Brett's gonna block you like tj is a spotter I see them online though ff in the chat Tell Rick where to stay off the track All of the podcasts are living in fear This isn't the download, it's door bumper clear Nah don't get it twisted baby

This isn't the download nah This is door bumper Clear clear clear clear There you go, I like it Hey everybody I'm Tj Major's Sparta the Six Cup car, the one truck in a 68 Xfinity this weekend. I also had an

Arka car that caught on fire. Hey, on fire's good. I'm pretty sure. Every Arka car caught on fire this week. I think Arka's on fire, actually. Brett Griffin Spotter for Colleg Racing fresh off of a 900 plus mile weekend for me. I'm exhausted.

Me and Freddie can't say the same about the mileage here. I wish I could. What's up? Freddie Crafts, Spotter for Bubba Wallace. Derek Krauss, Lann & Castle this week. Fresh off a game seven win in Raleigh, North Carolina last night. Does that why your voice sounds like that? I'm a little hoarse this morning.

The eyes are a little bit more closed than usual. But yeah, we went up there last night. I had a hell of a time. What's up, Casey? Hello, everyone. Casey Boat here. And physically he's here. Everything else, I'm not really sure.

He might still be at the track in Indy. Yeah, Jason Schultz, Directorate Content, Jardimo Media here. So, Jason, how was Indy? Indy was great. We went to St. Elmo's to start off the weekend. That may have been the best meal

in my life. It was very good. Hold on a second. By the way, did you say the cocktail sauce was not hot? Did you get the wrong one? It was hot,

but it wasn't as hot as Dillner, like, brought it up as like, it's going to be the hot thing you're tasting. Well, Dillner also can, like, keep talking. Let's just be cool. And so, like, we ate it at first,

like you felt it. You're like, oh, and then it goes away really soon. Would you get for food? What do you get for food? We got a filet mignon. how he pronounced it. Filet mignon.

Valette mignon. I had a glass of wine and that was great. I never had wine. You never have wine. Mascado, I think it was called. That is not even wine. You know what? That's two guys that I've seen drink glasses of wine.

Last Monday night I went to a charity event. It was Ryan Blaney's charity event. We had a top golf and everyone's having a beer and one of our friends comes walking by holding a glass of wine. I don't want to say any names, but like, Jake Backer. Oh, Jake. Yes. So distinguished he is.

Yes. Did he have his pinky up? He would set the glass down because I kept trying to take a picture of him so he wouldn't carry it around. I was very concerned about Schultz yesterday because we were trying to figure out if we can record the show and he would not answer us. I was like, did he get trampled in the snake fit? Well, you also sent it on Sunday morning when you hear he already posted that he

had chugged a beer at like six in the morning. Started off the Indy 500 by chugging beer and then Where was that content? I wanted to see that on social media. That was on there. That was 6.30 in the morning. Brett wasn't up yet. He probably had just gone to bed.

Jason cracked open this beer. He stuck a straw in and said, guys, I'm drinking at 6.30. Well, we also have, we were in the media ceremony had to be kind of professional at a certain point. Just kind of. But I think if I would go to Indy next year again, we're just going to full out.

We just went to turn three where to snake pit is, a bunch of college tailgates. There's no race going on over there. It's just party, party, party. That sounds awesome. I think that we should do a BC30. 9 version. I think that Jason at a midget race could do really well because you don't have to be

classy there. No. I think I'm going with you to Indy next year. That's why I was texting you last night. So are you foreshadowing? I'm going to do the double. You foreshadowing? I think I'm going to do the Indy 500.

Oh, man. Justin Haley's going to race Indy 500. That would be awesome if Justin wants to race in the media center, Jason, where they like, are you Jason Schultz, director of content? No, that was not it. Do people recognize you? There actually, we went one fan from Austin. who was in town for the race.

He's actually coming to Charlotte to visit for a little bit now. But he was very cool. And it was very fun to be around. Marty Smith was there, a lot of the NASCAR people there. It's funny how many NASCAR reporters are at the Indy 500 these days. Oh, yeah. Speaking of NASCAR reporters,

yeah, he was there. He had a great conversation with him. Did you guys see Bob get dunked in a dunk tank? Did you see the videos of it? It was pretty, did nobody dunk you? Well, so Bob came up to me and said, I don't understand how TJ doesn't get dunked.

He's like, no dunking, no opinion. I see somehow Brad got hitting a head with a ball. Like, how did that happen? Like, did you see that? No, but that's amazing. Somebody hitting Brad with the ball. That's like that's not that. Jesus.

Um, no. I was the first one of the don't tank. Uh, very, didn't want to do it. And the water ridiculously cold, like filled up with the garden hose. And I'm sitting there and I, there is about 15 people, uh, there, or 15, team ball thrown and every time they would wind up and throw it closed my eyes thinking that was going to be it. Every single one of them missed. So our our team, our competition director, Jeremy Thompson's in there after me and I went inside total tool bag move on my part, but it's all for

charity. So I donated $20 a charity and I went out and handed 20 tickets out to people. And he must have got done like 10 times. So I felt really bad. And then I had to leave for the racetrack. But apparently Bob got dunked in many times. That's good. So, yeah. Well, now that we've covered Jason's big weekend, how about y'all's big weekend? We started the Indy, the 500, then y'all did the sweet experience at Charlotte.

Sweet experience was awesome, man. Great group of people, you know, 60 plus folks that were there to have a dang good time. And, man, did they get their money's worth? A six-hour race. more than, yeah. I mean, it was like every hundred miles equated to an hour. They got their monies worth before the race even started.

I know. Let's be honest. Because Mike Davis came in there and hugged them all. Mike Davis made me tell the damn Columbia story in there. What? Oh, yeah. He told the Columbia story. He did tell the Columbia story.

Oh, I had to leave. No. So, no word to the wise. If you ever want to hear the Columbia story, just buy a ticket to the dirty moe experience. If somebody was in the suite at this time, please let me know. It is a pay-per-view story. It was a pay-per-view story.

And you have to be there to hear it. What's not fair? TJ, was it worth the money? It's worth the money every time. The visuals you get of Freddie going through this, not only just Freddie, but loved ones in Freddy's life, struggling.

The struggle was real. The struggle. The struggle was real. I mean, it's high, as lows. It's kind of like, it's a long story. Yeah, but there's like, like, oh,

Ooh, like, oh, is it good? How was it going to be? I was literally there. It must have been, what, five minutes after I left? That's just rude. Well, you shouldn't have left. It was like five o'clock. I was like right before we went out.

All right. Why'd you leave? I mean. Well, I had a job to do. So I've never seen so much bush light get drank in one place. I mean, my goodness. That was a bushlight kind of crowd. So before I left, I was like, Shana, they need more beer and we need more ice and we need both

of those like yesterday. Well, then we had. She was so ready for me to go to the real. I got an old man fireball there. He's like, I already took a shot of a fireball. Everybody that comes to a sweet experience gets a fireball shot, right? It's just part of tradition. So I'm like, hey, has anybody took the shot yet?

And this awesome couple was like, yeah, we took ours. I'm like, way to go, way to rally. Word. We're still waiting to hear if he saw the whole race. Oh, he made it. I went back in there after I finally blew up. And yeah, they were still there. They were still pounding bush lights.

Did none of us finish the 600? None of us finished the 600. I should have. I should have. I should have. If your damn front bumper wasn't shoved me into that 12's door, I probably would have finished. I was getting help from behind. Well, it was so cool meeting everybody there.

What a great group of people. And I hear we might have another one coming up. Bristol. Tickets are going on sale very soon. I have a funny. And it's not a dirt race. There's one of the couples that was in there, they looked at Mike and they're like, the guy says, you should do Bristol.

And Mike's like, we are doing Bristol. And he's like, all right. Yes. and his wife just looks at him, she's like, are you fucking me? Yeah. We're doing this again. There was another couple that the guy was like,

I brought it up, you know, they had some special occasions like, what do you think about doing this? And she was like, oh, okay. And she's all about it. Bristol's the bomb. Yeah. There ain't a better player.

The night race at Bristol? If you said pick one racetrack that you got to race out every week the rest of your career, you got to race every week, I'd say Bristol. It's awesome. I love that place. And you know what?

They got a shop tour as part of the deal in Charlotte. Mike Davis shut them around Junior Motorsports. I think for Bristol they should do a tour around Michael Waltrip Brewery. Maybe we can arrange that. Maybe we can. Right. We'll do that one. We'll do that one.

Maybe they can get Steve and Stefan to sing karaoke in there while they're doing the shop tours. Yeah. Stefan is a karaoke ace. They did schedule the shop tour for an awkward. time though for some reason. They scheduled the shop tour smack dab in the middle of the Xfinity series. Are you getting a hint of the one idiot for this week?

No, no, no. Mike Davis came off the lake, though, to give this shop tour. Oh, and that awesome, both that he's got. That's really cool. He's down in the lake yesterday. Doug said he saw him rolling out there on your boat. Yeah, awesome. Really good.

Keep it clean. Keep it clean for me, Mike. Freddy, how is your team's clock management on Sunday? So, awkward time out. Yeah, not good. We just continue to figure out ways we can up over this year, apparently. Listen, I sat on here a couple weeks ago.

Like, number one job is know the rules, and we just overlooked a pretty big one. We got a little bit... When Blaney spun out, we got hit from behind. We ended running the back of TJ. Got spun. Well aware of that. Very minimal damage on the right front.

And came in, put a piece of barabond on it. We're car's good to go. Just throw that wherever you want, Chase. Are you okay? Holy cow. And we had a great plan. We pit. There was three or four to go in the stage.

We pit, put tires on. We're just going to ride around. We told Bubba, ride around half throttle. We're going to stay out at the stage break and we'll be leading or probably in the top five. And that's what we did. We rode around half throttle, not even attempted, just trying to stand a lead lap for three laps. And for some reason, NASCAR said all. cars have made minimum speed at lap 199 and then at lap 200 they said the 23 has not made minimum speed

and unfortunately the rule is you have three laps we were on the DVP clock for for the being in the incident and the rule is you have three laps to make minimum speed to clear it and we didn't we were we were kind of going the long game and and saving tire and we we up pretty bad um it's unfortunate we had a very fast race car we in that wreck. Bubba had spawned earlier, but the car was still fine. We were going to be in good shape for the rest of the way. And we, we royally, royally screwed up. So it's unfortunate. Obviously, not going to happen again, but you know, there's nothing you can do about it. I felt terrible for Bubba because obviously

this, like I said earlier on the show, like he's driving the best he's ever driven in his life and bad things continue to happen for some reason. So hopefully we can, we can do better this week and we'll be back. But that one, that was pretty embarrassing. Your boss there had a pretty solid weekend, though. So has he... I think he's still on the lake. I had to guess.

Has he won every crown jewel race? He has now. Has he won the Brickyard? He hasn't won the Brickyard. Is the Brickyard a crown jewel? I mean, it's considered a crown jewel, but... Is it now? I don't think it is now.

No, not now. I don't think it is now. Now. I wouldn't have thought it was before. I will tell you this. It probably is for, like, Briscoe. because he That's his hometown.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It probably used for them. Like a, like what people in general would consider a crown jewel. No, it just doesn't have the, doesn't have the, I don't know, yeah, that it used to have. And we're not even running the brickyard. I think there's only three, maybe four crown jewels, in my opinion. You got Daytona 500, Coke 600, Southern 500, and maybe the Bristol night race is a big one for some people. But I think there's really only three in my book.

But that's still, though. I mean, that's like, yeah. I think there's three. I mean, Bristol, it's on the edge, but I don't think it is considered one. But, you know, the Southern 500 or, yeah, I think there's three. I'm going three. So he's one of them all? Yeah.

Currently, does that help you talk yourself into voting him into the Hall of Fame? I refuse to discuss this. Maybe that might be why I asked you first, but, you know, I do think that that's something worth, like when you look back on people. in this sport right now who are Hall of Fame worthy. I feel like Denny's probably... There's a handful out there. Yeah, there's a lot of really good drivers still. Denny's resume obviously doesn't lack wins in all series.

I don't think he's got a lot of truck starts. I don't think he's really run. I still think he's got truck wins. I think he won Martinsville and one of Kyle's trucks. Yeah, he might have won there. I mean, I don't know if he's really running a mile and a half. I don't remember Denny doing any big track stuff, just short track stuff and trucks.

yeah, his resume definitely doesn't lack the wins. I mean, it's only lacking one thing, and we all know what that is to me. Yeah, championship. Yeah, and that doesn't really define whether we've got guys that are eligible for the Hall of Fame or in the Hall of Fame that haven't won championships either, but that's, if you look at Denny Stats

and take the name off of it, you would say, I mean, to me, that's like you would think he would have won a championship. Even if you look at the brickyard, right? And you say the brickyard is still a crown jewel race. He was going to win it last year. Chase Briscoe punted him on the last lap. Well, don't run Chase off the tracks. See you later.

But Denny Hamlin, the brickyard oval was on his bucket list as a must-win race in his career. I've talked to him about it. And for him not to have won that before we shipped to the road course, I think it's going to haunt him personally. It might be back. Who knows? He's one of those bucket list guys, you know. But I definitely think he's won. In today's world, he's won them all, the crown jewel races.

There's only three. There's not even a fourth race in my mind that should be put into the argument. And here we are. What's odd is we got these crown jewel races. And then this morning they announced that Phoenix is our championship weekend again in 2023. T.J. You want to go to Phoenix again for championship? Let's say this before we get into this.

What are my choices? Let's say this. What's the worst race we've been to all? year. Because there's only two bad ones in my mind. There's Texas and Phoenix. Yeah, Texas was... I think Texas was worse than Phoenix.

I think Texas was really bad. Texas was hands down worse than Phoenix. But those are literally the only two races that have been bad. Martinsville was pretty bad. Martinsville was going to be my next because I went to Martinsville thinking Martinsville, this is going to be awesome. And we got there and I was like,

oh, this, like, I never would have expected that of Martin'sville. Not a bit. So it's surprising to me, but I don't know. I mean, I can't get on board with Phoenix. I think there's a lot of factors that. What are they? The 10 wide restart, aren't they so exciting?

No, but there's a lot of factors on the back end, like sponsor markets and TV and logistics to the rest of the season. You never know like what the rest of the season will look like. So we can go run LA and the next week ish run. Daytona, those logistics can be overcome. It wasn't a week. The Xenity series can run Charlotte today, but run Portland, Oregon a week from today. I'm not. I'm not buying into logistics.

They're not. There are a lot of factors that I think logistics is BS. Okay. I'll agree with you on the TV thing. But TV, does TV really care where we are? I doubt it. I doubt it. Because they're going to get their viewers, I might of where we are, right?

So what are the, what are? if you're talking about this, what are the realistic options for the championship race? Well, NASCAR owns the date. It has to be a NASCAR track. Well, it has to be, I'm talking like weather-wise. What are the realistic possibilities for the championship race? Daytona. And we've got the season kind of ending a couple weeks sooner than we used to, right?

So we're late October, early November. I mean, that snows in Texas in November. I went and ran a race allowed New Hampshire on the weekend of Thanksgiving. And it wasn't brutal. I mean, obviously it can be cold. But look, man, what does it matter if it's cold? The cars don't know it's cold. I just don't think, I mean, if you're going to...

If you're going to travel for a championship weekend, you're thinking sun, you're thinking nice weather. I mean, just I'm saying. I'm not buying that. I'm just saying. Because people, Green Bay, football fans, they still go when it's snowing. We run Martinsville the week before.

Is it freezing there in my imagination? New England Patriots, Jason's favorite team. If you're cold, I'm definitely. Jason's going to go to the game if it's cold. I don't buy it in a minute. We got to have great weather. Crap. I agree.

Listen, Portland, Oregon and November, no, I don't want to go there because it's probably going to be rainy. I think there's realistically only four, three, four tracks to really choose from for the championship. I think there's tons of weather-wise. There's only enough to choose from what NASCAR owns because they're not going to put it at an S-M-I track. You tell me. I don't know the ends up to that. I'm just saying weather-wise, looking at tracks.

So you're looking at Phoenix, Homestead, Daytona. Fontana Charlotte, Atlanta, Texas we could keep going. Not if it's going to be NASCAR. I'm not talking about weather. Just in general. But if you were in their shoes,

you wouldn't want to move a championship race away from their track either. If I were in their shoes, I would move the championship weekend every single year to a new market because it's worth doing that for the sport. We got to talk about the health of the sport. And running this race in Phoenix,

It's just bad. Every single year. I said it when it was at Homestead every year. Like, I love Homestead racetrack. But running it there every single year, look, who's going to be better at Phoenix? Who's going to be better at Phoenix in the Infinity Series? Justin Al-Gai or Jeff Burton?

Justin Al-Gar. Okay, so let's keep taking it to his best track for that guy to have a chance when championship. Well, I think that's going to be the whole schedule. Okay, well, who's going to be better? Justin Al-Gyre at Phoenix or Daniel Hemrick? Justin Al-A-Gar. Yeah, pretty much. Let me help you make up your mind.

It's arguably equal to Dover on Justin's track list. Who's going to be better if we go to Homestead every single weekend? Oh, Kyle Larson. Yep, just so happens. He's the best. I mean, Tyler Redick, Kyle Larson. Stop taking it to the same damn place every single year. It ain't that hard.

I don't know. They listen to everything that we say on the show and they make great adjustments and they're not listening to us on this. You mentioned Tyler Redick. Did you see Tyler Reddick's pass coming to the checker flag? Did anybody see that? pass in the grass. Oh, really?

Three wide through the grass. He passed Stenhouse and somebody else. You mean the turf? Three wide and the turf. Passing the turf. He had a big run of, a big head of steam coming off a four and just bailed off. He said, I already wrecked the underbody with a flat tire,

so I was just going for it. I just called for it. He's a wheel, man. So before we dive into the show, I know we got a lot to talk about. Shout out to Tommy Ball and Haley Deegan and her good friend Jeff Burton the last three weeks coming on. It's just us three today.

That's us. Tommy Baldwin had another win. Hello. Yeah. Well, you're not at the table. You're at the bar. You and just leave. You and Justin?

You're going to call him, Justin. My name's Tyler. Tyler. Tyler. Yeah. Tall Tyler. I just call you tall Tyler from now. I see where we stand on this team.

Anyways. Thank you to Bojangles for breakfast. Oh, thanks to Bonejangles. Yeah, I did have a biscuit this morning. Thank goodness. Freddie needed that biscuit. This show is definitely not going to make it without Freddie having a Bojang Biscuit this morning. They look, they're so good, Casey, even he ate some.

I did, and it was very good. I might go have another one for lunch. It's why I keep coming back. Honestly, I mean, oh good. That's it. So not me. So if we just stop getting biscuits, T.J. won't come back. Sorry, Bojangles. Take a week off. It's not going to do it. Can't do it. All right.

If you want to move to or within either of those great places, do it with OfferPad. When I asked where you heard about OfferPad, select the NASCAR option so they know we sent you. Spot on, spot on. It goes like this. Spot on means you agree. I'm spot on. Are you joking me? He's lost his mind.

Oh, and by the way, no one ever seems to agree. And then spot off means you disagree. Spot off. Here we fucking go. This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. But if you're T.J. Um, uh, uh, there's only one correct answer. I don't know.

It's time for spot on, spot off. Spot on, spot off. First topic. Chase Briscoe's move on Kyle Larson with two laps to go as he attempted to take the lead but spun. T.J. Spot off. You know, Chase has been in these situations a few times now

where he's been in contention late to make a late pass and really those are the moments. You make that pass on Kyle Larson, you moved up a level, in my opinion. And I know he was trying super hard and honestly he was doing a fantastic job of getting closer and closer and maybe even having attempt at passing Kyle Larson then is big but you know he got closer to Tyler at uh at the bristle dirt race um you know these are the chances but you know good for him that he keeps showing up in

these these races where he's you know um has a shot of winning it so i think uh spot off for for for wrecking because I think he's going to put on a hell of a show with Kyle and I wanted to see it continue, but make a stick. Yeah, most improved team and driver for me this year. Probably is, Chase Brisco goes into conversation because last year, he struggled to stay on the lead lap. I mean, he struggled to get top 12, top 15 finishes. And this year, he's got a win under his belt. He's had a couple more he's been in contention to do. I'll be honest with you.

He started at Coke 600. he was terrible. He was running like 28th. Wasn't a factor. Next thing you know, a lot of guys have crashes. And then with 15-9 to go, he is running down the best race car driver in the world. And when he gets there, he chokes, which is unfortunate. But he's a great race car driver, and he's proving to be so. I think when you look at Stuart Haas racing as a whole right now, there's two guys that are possibly in trouble.

one wants to retire and one may be pushed out. So Chase is in a, I mean, we talked about it with Trackhouse. Like I wouldn't want to be teammates to Ross Chastain right now. A guy's sitting a world on fire. Let a ton of lapses to Coke 600. Daniel Suarez raised his hand this week and said, hey, I'm as good as he is. Watch me run fast. And he did for a lot of Coke 600.

But like when you look at Stuart Haas as a whole, you know, Kevin Harvick's, he's 46 years old. How much long is he going to race? Right? And you got these other three guys there. And Eric Cameron rolls out, said he's retirement. retiring, which I heard he may not be, but he tweeted that was his last Coke 600. So you got to think he is. You can't Tom Brady this. Yeah. You can. Mark Martin did it for 30 years.

Brett, what are you hearing? Alabama, the music group. They did it. They had a retirement tour for 30 years. Actually, you've done the same, so. But you've retired like three times. I know. I'm thinking about doing it again, but you actually retired during the Coke 600. But you look at Stuart House as a whole, like Chase Briscoe has raised his hand and said, I'm fast. I'm here. I'm here. I'm not going anywhere. I deserve to be here. I'm a winner. I'm in the playoff.

But in that moment, TJ's right. You got a chance to make yourself go to the next level and you missed it. Where what I think Chase would like to have back was about three or four last before this, he passed Kyle. He got clear in one and two. Oh, he didn't take it. And that's all.

If he just changes lanes with Kyle right there, even if he moves up and lets Kyle cross him over, just the idea of swapping lanes probably wins you the race. And he didn't get. didn't take the opportunity to get up in front of him. You could hear it on the broadcast. Joey Campbell, his spotters telling him, take it, take it, take it, take it.

And he didn't, for whatever reason. But yeah, this deal here, you could see he was way better than him on entry. Larson was getting free on entry, and Chase got attacked the corner a lot harder. And he just, you know, he took his shot and it didn't work out for him, unfortunately. But like he said, Chase is unbelievably talented race car driver. There's a couple guys we've seen this year. Ross, Chase, a couple of Reddick is one that, you know, hasn't got any luck on his side. but this car just lends itself to their driving style

and, and, you know, Chase has got a win already and he's going to win more because he puts himself in position like that. But, you know, at the same time, this is kind of Bristol 2.0 all over again.

Like, maybe it's better off. I mean, I think he came back and finished top five, right? Like, yeah. So I don't know how hell he got back up there. I think you ran top five. I did because there was a gigantic wreck

off a turn four. I mean, I mean, Denny did what Denny does. I don't know if this is another. Yeah, what was talking about Austin, yeah. Denny did what Denny does.

And he puts himself right there. He might not be leading every race, but he's won two Daytona 500s because he was there. Just right there, waiting for something to happen. He won. He did the same thing here and took advantage of it and won the race. So I think that's, obviously, you don't get to that point without putting together a really good race.

I think it's the top 10 team right now. When they click on all cylinders. The 11? I think, no, Chase. I think Chase of this team, they're top 10 team right now when they click on all cylinders. And they're in a Ford, which let's be honest, you're not at an advantage if you're in a Ford right.

now. Austin Dillon's team response to him going for the win that caused a big rig coming to the white flag. Jason, you want to read that? The team said on the radio, you gave it a hell of a shot and you did what you needed to do. Brett, spot on, spot off. Man, I thought he was going to win the race.

The run that he had, the position he was in, the angle that his car was pointing at coming off of four, it was obviously he had the most speed and what, look like the most grip. And I don't know if he cleared himself up into that traffic or if Denny looking inside of him spooked him or Brandon Manesh gave him information that the 11 is looking low. Because Denny was probably the smartest guy in all this, right? He goes into three. He doesn't drive in like an animal.

He sets himself up for a powerful exit, which he got. But even then, I think Austin around the start finish line are certainly getting into one is going to clear at least one of those guys on his outside, if not. both. Then Denny's on his inside. It's super easy to stop that guy's momentum that's on the inside. And Austin Dylan will win his second Coke 600. I mean, we just talked about choking with Briscoe. I think Austin Dylan choked. And that's unfortunate because I thought the move that I saw, the momentum that he had, the way he was pointed coming off turn four, I thought he had at one. But then Denny getting inside of him completely made him lose his mind.

I thought Danny, I thought Danny made a mistake. I was home watching this last restart. And the top four guys took two tires. Danny was the first one on four off pit road. And he fifth. And I said, in my opinion, I think you've got to take the top here because if you, if you assume that the top four are going to line up in the top four positions and you've got your choice inside or outside in row three, I'm like, I think you've got to take the top because it gives you options of, you know, you can move up, you know, get to the outside of the guy in front of you or at least, at the very least, have a big run down the backstretch to, you know, be maneuverable. You pick the bottom, you kind of get boxed in by whatever's going on in front

of you. And, and Austin was the one that took the top of row three. And he had the big momentum coming out of backstretch and just overshot his entry to three. Like he just like just like kind of like holy shit. There's my hole. I got to go for it right now where like you said, Danny, Danny did the right thing and kind of just backed his entry up and carry the momentum off of four to put him as. I think Danny was going to get clear of them all anyway.

I think Danny was going to get clear by the start finish line even if they didn't wreck. But because of Austin just bombing it into three and really giving himself no chance to get through the middle of the corner. Yeah. I think I like, I still like, the bottom on that just because the guys were slide job in each other and pinching each other up if they get stacked up. I think there's

more of a chance of them getting stacked up on the high side up front than there is on the bottom right there because only two of them in front of you, they don't really stack hard on the bottom. When you're back, when you're back six, seven, eight rows from there on out, the bottom stacks. Like we were? Yeah, it stacks really bad. Four wide, all for four to win the Coke 600. What more could you ask for?

Well, Denny, like, Denny did what he, the right move. I mean, okay, Austin's driving in here until he sees Elvis, which he jokes. it in there when we all saw him carry that speed were like, whoa, like we all like holy cow, he's going for it. There's zero chance Danny's going to match that. So what Denny did is just lift like you should have

get a good runoff and I don't like I don't know what Austin was looking at there but if he stays down in front of Danny and Denny shoves him down the front stretch, Austin probably clears everybody as well and it goes on and wins. After the snooze fest that was Texas which we called an all-star race. We were worried about this.

How's dumb would we look to not move the All-Star race back to Charlotte? Oh, man. This was, I mean, this race had everything. You had guys reckon, one thing that when I think of Charlotte, I think of guys losing it into the corner because they're on the edge. And I saw that. The guys were wheeling the heck out of them. When you see Kyle Larson have to back the corner because he's so loose and guys getting to him on entry, that's big to me. I mean, we saw three of them spin out.

You know, Kyle Larson spun out off a four. Chase spun out off a four, we spun out off of four. Like, guys, and Bubba's like, I just shipped it to the bottom one time to try to run hard. And he goes, I lost it. How many guys just he slide in front of us out of four? Oh, yeah. And when you see these guys that are sliding, these guys that are sliding are good race car drivers. So that's how on edge these things are.

Look at Kyle there in one and two getting in a dirty air. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, these are good race car drivers. One thing about this car is, is when it starts spinning out on exit, it doesn't, it seems like they can catch it. It seems like they are able to catch the cars a lot quicker. Are they stopped quick? Last year's body, if Kyle Larson hits the wall like he did, one or two, it's destroyed.

This year's body. Like he literally lost it, hit it, flushed it, and then he'd right back, he was back, right back running fast as a leader. Freddie sledgehammered us into the 12 and he kept on going. So, I mean, I got out of scratch. They're tough. I didn't keep on going very long. Continuing on the next-gen car topic, first time flipping a next-gen-gen car back over

takes five minutes after Chris Busher said he was okay. Spot on, spot off, Freddie. I mean, this deal looked like a movie stunt. Like, he spins out, you know, Suarez clears himself off of four on the 14 where he's not clear, gets himself rigged. And, you know, he's spinning down a French restaurant. And I forget who it was.

I think it was Gillian. I felt like he was blocked. Somebody was right in front of him and they kind of darted to the left of the last second. Gillilin went right and that was a bad idea. So he knocked the 99 back into the 7th. and the 17 is just innocently sliding through the infield and I'm watching on team.

There's a reason the 17 was sliding by the way. What do you mean? Oh, he got sledgehammered. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. By him. The 21. That's rare that he runs into a wreck. The funny part is there's like three lanes clear on the outside.

So 17 is now just innocently sliding through the infield and I'm like, he'll be fine. Because talk about this also. That AstroTurf saved probably three or four race cars on Sunday because we slid through there, Chase slid through there. Larson was through there. Like, everybody was fine. But this,

Chase throttled up. Chase throttled up and it was like jumping through. And all of a sudden the 17 is like somebody hit a button and the thing just starts flipping over. Obviously, we go back and look at it. He took a flush shot to the right wheel, right front wheel and it tucked under the car. And that's what kind of propelled it to start flipping over.

But I didn't really have an issue with the, I've seen a lot of people complaining about how long it took. I think that they communicated with Chris. Chris told him he's fine. so then they took their time to do the right thing and get everything flipped over. So you weren't going to risk any further damage to the car or any injury to Chris by flipping it over. Obviously, I think it could go faster if it needs to. Yeah.

Dude, let me embrace it. I might take more of it. Let's hold you upside down for five minutes to see if you can do it. Yeah. I mean, obviously it wasn't fun, but I didn't think there was a need to rush. You know, and I think that they, if the thing's on fire or Chris is hurt, they can obviously do it a lot faster. So I didn't have an issue with how long it took for the fact that they, I felt like they knew Chris was okay. and it wasn't going to be a big deal.

Anything else to add there, TJ? You were about to talk. I just think it needs to be faster than that. Like, you go to these midget races and things like that. That car is rolled back over within 15. Well, I mean, the midger race is a little bit smaller. I get it. I know that.

I don't think you can say that. You know what I mean. Let's be honest. If you had got one, if you pick Chris Bushers race team and you said, hey guys, go out into the turf and flip that car over. is it going to take five minutes? Then why the f*** did we wait five minutes to flip this guy over? This is ridiculous.

I do agree with you. Hey, listen, I'm watching this wreck play out and I'm like, holy cow, did he hit a drainage ditch? Like what made him fly up into the air? But like Freddie said, the right front and the suspension gave way while he was sliding and it catapulted him up into the air. But once he lands upside down and in Casey's question, should it take five minutes? The answer is absolutely not. We get to Daytona every year we have a spotters meeting and they tell us if your driver flips over and the car is not on fire, have him sit tight because he's going to be safer if we come to the vehicle, we flip it in its upright position and they exit the car versus them undoing their six point hardest, falling on their head.

Who knows what's in there that has moved around during this wreck? They're going to be safer to sit tight. Who the fuck wants to sit tight in an upside down car for five minutes? Dang sure not me. it's not on fire, right? But what happens if it catch on fire? Like to ask a guy to remain calm again, if you'd have asked his team of 10 to 12 human beings

to walk out to pit road, they could have flipped that vehicle over in a matter of 20, 30 seconds. So we got to do something about that. It hit harder during that flip than it was going to, when it lands back down. Absolutely. This is ridiculous.

When this car was being produced when they were running all these tests, were there any tests around a wreck such as this? Oh, they never tested. I remember, I think it was Daytona test, they were like, if anybody wrecks, uh, sit, you know, leave your car out there so we can figure out how to tow it.

You know, so like, go leading into the year, they didn't even know how to tow a wrecked race car at this point. Now they've, they've gotten a lot better. That still takes five minutes. Whoa. It's gotten better than it was the first race. It's kind of way better. Oh, they tow them things over there.

Like, uh, it's ridiculous. Yeah. The upside down part, like, the driver's okay. You got to get that thing back over quick. Absolutely. Absolutely. I agree. Well, it's great that this was the first time after how many races have we had. So. I wouldn't have guess Charlotte

been the first try. Not at all. That's a freak wreck too. We saw Harrison flip so easily in Daytona that I was worried

about this car getting upside down frequently. So for us to be this many races in and do I have run another plate race obviously at Talladega.

And as many wrecks as we had in this car. A lot of wrecks. This car's done his job. And look, I'm not MFN the safety crew. I like to say

but at the end of the day we can't have our fans deserve better. Like, flip the freaking car over. Let's go back racing. We don't need to be sitting there for five minutes. Well, I don't think that's their priority. I think it's making sure that the guy in the car is okay. The guy in the car said he's fine. Flip the car over. Let's go. Well, you don't know what could happen when they do flip it. It's already been destroyed. When they flip it back over. It flipped five and a half times before he stopped on the car. If there was something that could have moved around that could cause

damage, you don't know. They were probably trying to just be careful. All right. Well, they suck. Well, you suck. Oh, you're going to catch hell the rest of this show. You better be ready. It's coming. You better be ready. I'm literally trying to prove a point. You're getting ready to prove it.

It's coming. Spot on, spot off. Indy car red flags the Indy 500 to set up a two-lap green flag finish. P4 finisher Felix Rosenquist says, Jason, you want to read that? He said, I just think now Indy car is at a level where the racing is so good because the field is so tight but I don't really think you need to add artificial ingredients. Freddie, spot on, spot off. I don't know that I've ever watched the Indy car race

where I thought the racing was so good. Listen, I think if you have, Indy 500 is a rare race where I think you need to respect the distance of the race. It doesn't need to be a green white checker or add laps at Indy 500. But if you have an opportunity where you're going to run out five or six caution laps to end the race, don't do that.

Like throw the red flag, give the fans a two-lap shoot out, whatever it's going to be for the Indy 5. 500. Obviously, you know, the, ended under caution, right? I think they wrecked

down the backstretched or something like that. Stay direct. So, you know, I'm fine with not extending the race, but if you're just going to sit there and ride around

for six laps and that's going to end the race, don't do that. Like, throw the red flag, give your fans a green flag finish or at least an attempt at a green flag finish. I love the end of 500.

I love that 300,000. People were there to watch this race. I think it is the most beautiful racetrack on our schedule right now in terms of how it's kept up. Golf course. The amenities, the beautification of it.

Like it's just the pageantry of it. Everything of it, everything about Indianapolis Motor Speedway is phenomenal. Right. But I also think that races need to end under green flag conditions. Like we've left the culture of letting races end under yellow for whatever reason, right? And obviously, entertainment is a big part of racing. Racing is a big part of why we watch.

But I don't hate the fact that we do green white checkers. NASCAR anymore. You know, when we first made the change, I was like, man, we're abandoning tradition. Well, these fans deserve 300,000 plus in a tittance, deserve to see a race to the end. So the fact that Indy car tried to give them that, I'm all for it. Spot on. Yeah, I'm spot on as well. I don't want to, the whole ending in that race just, it's going to end on a bad note if you ride around for five laps under yellow. It's just going to ruin it. We're watching these guys race, and I want to see it. I mean, that's what I want to see. The guy earned it. And heck we saw there were side by side of the one like oh who you know on the edge of your seat watching

any 500 that's the way it should be i don't agree with running five laps under yellow ending it that way you know if the caution comes out and they're coming and taking the white it's over it's over to me like you know if they're on the last lap i agree uh like nascar once you take the white the race is complete otherwise we could run endless i think arca tried that for a while they did they did try it unlimited green white checkers great idea there was like four cars that finished a race. Six cars in lead lap. Yeah.

Five. So yeah, I don't, I'm, I don't like any, that's too many laps under yellow. So I was, I was super excited that, that race was exciting. I mean, Jimmy got up there. How about Jimmy leading, you know, he was rookie of the race as well. So very competitive all the month in May. Awesome to see that. And I got to see the end of the 8500, you know, under green essentially until the last

lap wreck. So I thought it was awesome. the information I saw last night that the purse of the race was insane. The winner took home over $3 million. A Jimmy Johnson rookie of the race, $257,000. Like, I remember when we used to publish purses, and I was a big fan of it, just because I love economics and business.

And look, we know what all these NBA and NFL guys, like, why not share what our guys are making? But, like, I thought it was awesome to see their purse was up. And holy cow, could you imagine when the Indy 5003 million? Shultz, were you coherent enough to have an opinion on this? I was very coherent. I'm glad they did it because I remember in 2020, Osato won.

They had a wreck, and of course, that was a lot of damage on the pit road. They probably couldn't have fixed it in time, but I was so glad they finished under green. The crowd, Jeff Gluck mentioned this on his podcast. The crowd roared when they saw the red flag come out. And 10 years ago, IndyCar fans probably wouldn't have reacted like that.

Yeah. Just a little, I saw this thing post. Least-washed game in the least-washed NFL game this season, last season was 5.86 million. The most watched NBA game in that season was 5.75 million. Yeah. So that's huge difference. Yeah.

Big difference. That's, you know, I don't know. It's big to have an event and with some drama, I guess. That's their biggest race of the year. You don't want to end up on cost. And we got to see it. The guy that was leading one, I mean, it was, I thought it was great. You think Jimmy runs it again?

I mean... I would hope not. I would hope so. Man, I noticed Jimmy liking it more and more. Like he seems to be settling and he took last year we thought it was going to be all.

I'm just going to try this and be done. And the dude's been competitive this year. So... Look at his qualifying run. It is not going to be... It is not going to surprise me if Jimmy Johnson does this again. And Danmere wins it.

Or wins it. I will not. be surprised. I see him winning a race at least one point if he keeps going. He said in our next level interview with Andrew Curlin that he's willing to run Indycarp to five years maybe. Wow. Good for him. Somebody's having fun.

I mean, you look at the schedule. It's perfect. They don't race every single weekend like we do. I mean, you look at our schedule. We start in February. We go to November. We race on a major holidays. You know, Easter and July 4th, Mother's Day, right? You get one weekend off in June. And then you

look at what he's doing in Indygar. What are they running 25 races? I think it's less. It's like 2018 or 20. The schedule's awesome. Yeah. Like it's perfect. 200 lap races or 200 mile or something. That's a 500 mile or and some solid racetrack. Yeah. Yeah. Some solid markets. I mean,

I'd rather be, you want St. Peter, you want Loud in New Hampshire. Here's a good segue to the next topic. How about a time limit? I love time limit races now. Like, let's, let's, we need that after this six hour fias. Yeah. Let's go time limit races. That's next, Casey.

Moving on to another big race that happened on Sunday. Formula One decides on rolling starts in Monaco despite dry conditions after red flags, citing rain impacting start lights and consideration about inconsistent grip levels due to the drying track. T.J, our F1 expert, spot on, spot off. By expert, we mean that you didn't want to watch it. I'm spot off because I was fully expecting them to start that thing. standing start because that's that's the challenge right um brett thinks it's easy to take off and go straight and stuff um sounds easy which was awesome that Jeff called you out on that um but uh no

it like it was so weird because they were nobody knew what they were going to do and they was like well this the commentators were confused as well like are i don't know what we're doing here there's a time limit we're supposed to start here but it started there i don't know what the deal was for that. I heard the commentators were just bashing race control, like openly on ESPN where it was awesome. Yeah, they were, it's just weird because nobody really knew

what was going on, what kind of start we were going to get. I mean, it's F1, you roll up there and if it's not, I get it. Like, I do agree with delaying the start a little bit because they showed some of the water running down that track on the curbs and stuff, and I don't think it was completely safe. But again, Was the Infinity Series safe the year A.J. Amandinger wanted in the flood?

No, Jesus. Yeah. Let's be honest. It's a street course. It's like NASCAR's control booth, race control booth, and F-1's control booth are like against each other to see who can do the dummy shit every week. It's like, oh, watch this.

Hold on my beer. We're going to do this. We're going to make this rule up. We're going to throw a caution for this. We're going to let this one in that fall down. We're going to let this guy finish the race with us winning that fall down. We're going to let him win a million dollars. Let's just keep changing the rules, people.

I hope that we get a chance to have. you, at least you Brett, maybe Freddie, because you sometimes go into race control and watch them manage your race. Give me the headset and give me the button and everybody else leave the room. I can do it. I don't need everybody.

That's a bad idea. Okay. Is there normal deal that they start, like a rolling start when it's raining? I don't understand. In my few years of watching, I don't remember that being a rule. Yeah, I don't think so.

I think it's at their discretion. I guess that's why everybody was confused. I have no idea. I went to Saeed Saturday night. and I was a little late dead enough. I was texting with a prominent crew chief in the Cup Series garage. He wasn't a crew chief this week.

Well, he wasn't a crew chief. He was a crew chief, but he wasn't. He wasn't there. He wasn't on the car. He wasn't there. He was not there. He went on a pit box. But he and I were literally going back and forth about,

man, which, like, this race control thing between NASCAR and F1 is comical. Like, we've got to get it together, people. And we can and we will. I just love, I want us, like, I want us to have the same. access the F1 has where we can get on the radio and just talk to race control. Whoa.

Yeah, they got. I'd be like, hey, Berman, uh, I don't appreciate that you just park my for riding around saving tires. And that is exactly why they don't. Moving on. Jeb Burton and tell, Jeb Burton tells Noah Glaxen, I'll wreck the dog F out of you. And then tweets, the only reason he's in the car is because of the check. I've been in the same stuff and outran him almost every race.

go look at the stats. First off, what is dog F? Second off, spot on, spot off. Brett. Marat the dog food out of you, Brett. I think this is great entertainment. I like Jeff Burton. Not Jeff.

I like Jeff too. I like Ward. I like all the Burns. I like him. I like Harrison. They got a big family. I'm a big fan of the Burton families, right? Jeb is way, way, way out of his element.

Jeff Jeff. Jeb had a rough week on Twitter. Well, you got this deal where you're walking and you're having a confrontation slash conversation with Noah Glaxen. And I think that's fine, right? What is Jeb mad at? Is he mad because Noah Glaxen outran him on seven cylinders while Jeb had eight? Apparently, they got near each other and one of them pushed another one down the straightaway and slide drop. I don't even. Noah put a slide job on Jeb, got clear in four, which Noah was,

We just talked about Noah, one of the most impressive things was Noah finishing fourth on seven cylinders. He was hauling ass through the corner and then would give up a little bit about halfway down a straightaway. And so he was sliding in front of guys and then taking off. And I guess, Jeb, they weren't even on the same lap. Jeb was a lap down. Noah was in the top 10, top five. I don't know where he was running the time. But like, I don't get it.

So Jeb just shoves them all the way down into turn one. And that's what they were arguing about. And to Jeb's credit, Jeb said that Noah was the one that you used. the word dog first and and Jeb threw it back at him but yeah this this deal.

I don't like the fact that they're using dogs in the negative manage. I'm sorry. I mean, they I'm not going to go there. You already did. Here's the here's where Jeb's downfall is on all this.

All right. He's racing he's racing. He's having an okay day. He's racing a guy that's down a cylinder that oh by the way he's driving by him and he clear. Here's him and then Jeb hits him in the butt.

I still don't understand what Jeb's mad at. But then he gets on Twitter and he proceeds to say that he's better than Noah Gregson head-to-head in junior motorsports equipment. TJ, do you think that's true? I have not compared to stats. Do you think that Jeff Burton... Off the top of my head, I don't believe the stats are better or that way. Okay, well, they're not.

I didn't look them up, but they ran 11 races together as teammates. And Jeb beat Noah head-to-head in three of the 11. okay one of one or two of those no are wrecked out so one don't speak facts about stats if you don't know the stats but number two like don't go at race fans like it listen we have a awesome group of race fans that are on social media we have a small group of darts we know what that is it's a dumbass race fan but jab called the majority of race fans most of you most of you are stupid is what he said Well, I'm going to tell you now who's stupid. The guy who just called most of the race fans stupid.

Yeah, I'm spot off because that's not a good play. Greg, I'm going to call out the guy that told me this. Greg Zipadelli told me when I went to Stewart House Racing. Oh, by the way, I've been in trouble for my Twitter. I've been called to the office by race teams. I've been called to the NASCAR hauler. We can't promote tweets. So I speak from experience when I say this.

Greg Zipadelli told me, do not tweet anything. until the race has been over for at least 15 minutes. I want you to give yourself a cool-down period. If you get wrecked, I want you to give yourself a cool-down period of 15 minutes before you get on social media. And I was like, nah, I like to get on there and just be mad. But I took his advice, and I think Jeb needs to hear that advice. But Jeb gets on there and he tweets all this dumb shit. And then to make it right, he's going to go on there and just start like, I'm going to do a giveaway.

Look at me. I'm on the lake with my hot wife. It's like, bro, what you just did, you just threw up and it's still laying in the carpet. Nobody's cleaned it up yet. The fact that you over here doing these other things, it ain't going to make it all go away. We talked about who's the nut puncher guy? What's his name? Daniel Dye.

Okay, we talked about that guy saying dumb shit after the fact. Like you don't have the ability to have composure while you're upset and while they're filming you at the racetrack. But it's your Twitter. And this is not 15 minutes after the race. These are coming out hours after the race. Listen, I don't care. Like, if you want to do whatever you want to do, Noah Gragson, listen, I like to give Noah a lot of shit too.

But like, once you call, most of you race fans are too stupid to understand, I was like, oh, that is a bad idea. Who's a better race car driver, T.J. Noah Gragson or Jed Burton? Right now, I mean, I got to go with Noah. I just don't think I'd be picking this fight on social media. I don't, you probably can't say. Like you said, you can't.

I don't let me and Brett talk about this a lot. Don't ask a question that you don't already know the answer to. Like if you can't say go out there, oh, look at the stats. And you're like, okay, hold on. Well, let's look at the stats. Like, that's not going to work. Racingreference.com is a valuable resource. It is a very, very valuable website to a lot of people.

Yeah. And yeah, I mean, you can't say nut puncher on you. Well, you've said it three times. Twice. Nug cracker. Yeah. Nutcracker is that there? Nutcracker.

Yeah, I don't really know what the whole thing even started with. Was it really worth it? I mean... No, that's the other thing. Like, what? And second of all, you know, I know... I don't think Jeb had a particularly bad day either. I think he was running the top 12.

Yeah, I mean, and he was digging up by the wall and restarts and stuff. I mean, I don't know. I think he's overachieving in the equipment that he's in. I think he's running about where I ran last year with college. He's running about 12th every week. And you know what? 12th to get you. It'll get you a sponsor.

It'll help you keep a sponsor. sponsor. It'll get you in the playoff. It'll get you in the postseason. It'll put you in position three or four times a year to win a race. But imagine that one of them times showing up in the playoffs. You get into the playoffs. You win one of them races

and you advance. Next thing you know, you go from being a 12th place guy. You're a top A guy now. You're racing at a whole different ballpark there. So I just don't even know if this is completely necessary. I've enjoyed it. I've enjoyed it. I have to. I don't know why somebody wants to wreck the dog food out of somebody else.

house. The dog food? I don't think that's what they said. Well, what does he use that? Looking on to this upcoming weekend, the Cup series is to race at Gateway for the first time this weekend and the Xfinity series will race at Portland. Pretty cool to see Spot on, spot off, Freddie. Yeah, interesting to see Gateway. I've heard some stories about the spotter stand there. I'm interested to see what that looks like when we get there. I think, I think Gateway will put on a pretty good race. It's hard to say. I've heard they're going to be shifting again this week throughout, you know, the Sims and some of the guys that have been there. Yeah, you shift there every time we went there. Trucks even shift. Really? Oh yeah. So we'll definitely be shifting.

100% this week. Maybe twice. A lot. Portland, I don't know anything about Portland. It's not on my radar. It's the other side of the world for me, essentially. Brett, I know you got some insight on the area and I know you've got some sponsored activations out there this week. So, man, I'm always spot on when we go to new markets. I love Oregon, the state. I've never spent a lot of time in Portland. I love St. Louis. I'm looking forward to going this weekend.

I think it's awesome that the cup cars are... Look, man, the Bush Series, Bush Beer is out of St. Louis. So Budweiser. So to take us there, I think, is... I hated to see it ever leave. But anyway, I'm all for open markets. Turn 1 looks freaking sketch. It is sketch.

Getting into St. Louis. And you don't run the bottom, so that leaves... You know what that leaves? Opportunity. Slide jobs. opportunity. So I'm all four new markets. I am spot off for Portland for the Xfinity series.

And maybe our marketing professional, that's kind of like a consultant, right? You don't really know what they do, but that's their title. Maybe our marketing professional, Casey Boat, can lend some insight as to why we're going to Portland. But let's just look at it from a cost perspective. I bought two plane tickets for my team to go to Portland for the event. It was $1,200 per plane ticket. All right.

There's about 12 people on each team. it's about $8,000 in diesel fuel to go from Charlotte, North Carolina to Portland, Oregon and back. So by the time you've traveled your team, your Xfinity Series team to Portland, Oregon, you're about $35,000 in. That's a lot of money to an Xfinity Series team. I don't think a lot of Xfinity Series teams could sustain that every single weekend. So I don't know why we're taking the lower series to the most expensive spot in America right now to run this race. So I hope that it's a good race. I hope that the sponsorship activations are going to be worth it because the expense is significant for those guys.

I think you've got 10 to 12 teams that can honestly afford it and the rest of it. You know, when you look at it as an industry, you're saying, hey, you guys are going to lose money this weekend. Because if you finish 10th-ish in the Xfinity series, you're going to make about 30 grand. Well, that doesn't even pay your travel. We all know that there's about a dozen teams that have sponsorship. ship. We also know there's about a dozen that do not. So they're going to have to write a really big check to go out there and ride around this road course, TJ. Yeah, I'm spot off. I'm spot off because there's no, they don't run another race out there, right? They come back

and then go to Nashville. They might be off next week. They're off. Yeah, they're off. They don't go to Sonoma, though, do they? No. Yeah. So that's what I'm saying, though. If you're going to do West Coast, do it in a swing, you know, if you're going to run out there, make it worth it to you're running two, three races so you don't have to come back. But there, I would, you can't tell me that race is going to do better than a fairgrounds race, you know, or a, um, North Wilkesboro, Burroughsboro, Hickory. I don't care where you go. South Boston, Myrtle Beach, if it was still there.

How many racetracks do you think they're going to drive by on the way to Portland? A couple. Yeah, I mean, even. Two. Even past like Pike's Peak. I mean, there's some other racetracks on the way out there that, there are, I don't know. Let's go all the way to Portland and run a road course is a little...

I just hope... I hope NASCAR makes it right for these lower budget teams because that's a big... It might be a great race. I mean, it probably will be. Do you think this is a trial run for a cup race next year? I hope not because the area in which the track is at doesn't sound like it deserves it, to be very honest with you. I mean, we just talked about indie and how pretty it is and awesome it is.

I don't think that... And I'm going to reserve judgment until I see pictures because I've never been to this particular track, but from what I've heard Too much camping for you. I heard there's a lot of camping in the area and it's permanent camping. So I don't think that we need to be taking

our Premier Series. I don't think we need to be taking our Premier Series to less than premier facilities. Sorry. Yeah. Hey Door Bumper Clear fans. This is Mike Davis with Dirty Mo Media and I want to give you five reasons

Oh, T.J.'s cool, and Freddy kisses. Hamlin's ass, every chance he gets. A.C. He's beautiful. never ever paints her but briscoe forgot that he had breaks now the pasta's getting high and it's going to hell It's time for reaction theater

Chase Briscoe had to f*** up which should have been a classic battle to the finish one of the two best cars Instead we had someone totally undeserving Back into the damn wind Is that the end of his call? Yeah Is he talking about Denny?

He did. Denny's great. And it showed. How about Danny? Danny looked like a million dollars at six o'clock in the morning yesterday. He looked pretty rough. Did you see him getting out of his boat? Probably because he hadn't been to sleep here.

He's got his jacket, his suit. How about this? I didn't know this. And maybe this has gone on forever. And I just didn't know it. But did you know they do like a winner's toast in the Speedway Club? Yes. Yeah.

Like, what time was that? It's a crown in the morning. race. I know, but like, what the hell time do they go up there? Like, it's a couple hours after. Yeah, because you do the media thing, media center, all the way to go up there. Who the hell is hanging around for that? Oh, my God. I mean, we're just slamming beers when we went up there. Yeah, dude, I mean, I'd love to go do it. It was fun, isn't it? Anything, any race that has a special, unique event like that afterwards, I think it's pretty badass. Yeah. Ken took us to the Speedway Club for dinner. Ken did take us. I was a smart aleck and said it was Marcus Smith because Marcus Smith's...

You're ruining my segment. Stop. He's a big fan of our show. You're ruining. You're ruining it. Just chill. Did Racky Stenhouse, Jr., just now say that Kevin Harvick doesn't know what he's doing anymore? All right, Cody Ware, calm down with the comments.

I'm pretty sure Kevin Harvick knows what he's doing. That's the wrong guy to piss off. I don't know who rolled that last one, but they need to kick his ass. Holy cow, that guy's higher than a kite. He's had a good weekend. He's had a good weekend. That Ricky was taking shot to Kevin. Do you all know how to see this?

What happened? Do you all know who Ricky Stenhouse's manager is? Well, wait, first of all, what happened? It's Kevin Harvick Incorporated. You don't MF your own manager. What happened on the trail? Oh, yeah. I don't have no idea.

Anybody know? Harvick hit the wall. Harvick blamed it on Ricky. He drove up beside a Ricky and was making some inappropriate gestures. Number one, you're number ones? Yeah, you're number one in my heart and Ricky proceeded to say that Harvick can't drive anymore.

He's just mad because he can't drive anymore. Hey, I don't know why the guy had to bring Cody Ware into it, but Cody, quiet night ends up top 20 again. Be it all three of us. If you just stop, just have a nice quiet night and you'll get good finish. It beat all three of us. Yeah, that's a good run. I mean, that's great for them.

The six-minute restart rule is ridiculous. Chase, wrecked, had flat whatever made it to pit road come in did some more work brad kazowski was still under the six minute window came in had some more work but you cannot say six minutes because they didn't make minimum speed when your first lap on a restart ends in a caution within the first 12 drivers nobody had a chance to hit minimum speed except the first 12 drivers it's ridiculous it's too much fireball I don't know if he's referring to us, but we had ample opportunity to make minimum Yeah, you had laps.

We chose not to. We had four laps. Well, I know who drank for 600 miles. It was the last two dollars. Hey, them last fly by when you're drinking, man. Those laps, none of them laps flew by on Sunday. I looked up at one point. I was like, oh, good.

There's only 380 laps to go in this summer of. Matt told Braddy's like, hey, there's only a hundred. And he's like, wait a minute, I'm at $2,88. I'm like, sorry, I didn't mean to get you excited. Chor bumper clear. I'm here at the Indian. 500 the 5d service. Is this Jason?

Just proving that we can have service on a racetrack and ask us to get their together. In this sense, that is living proof right here in person. The service was incredible. I had full service all day long at the Indy 500, 300,000 people there

and we could post anything all day long. What's funny when we go back to Indy with 10,000 people there, we won't have service. Like, I won't understand it, I don't think. Well, I actually talked to Mike Davis about this after I blew up. Well, you're uninformed already. And I went down there and he was like, man, I can't post content from our suite.

And I was like, welcome to what I'm about every week. Mike. Like, we have this awesome experience going on and we can't share it with the rest of the world because your phone don't work. But in Annapolis Motor Speedway, with a partnership with Verizon. I don't have Verizon though, which is funny. Yeah, but still, like if the Verizon thing helps, I just think that it says it's possible. So tracks make it happen. Well, would you just look at how good the racing was at Charlotte Motor Speedway?

Could you just imagine if we'd actually had the All-Star race where it was supposed to be at Charlotte, at home, like it's always been, until they decided to go all over the frickin' place? I don't know how he fixed that problem, though, because SMI's got the All-Star date. They moved the Texas State Dakota. They moved the All-Star race to Texas to try to make it up. I just think that we need to have a meeting of the minds and everybody figure out the business side of this thing and every track gets one date. We don't have many tracks that deserve two dates. Our crown jewel places do. I think, yeah, I think that Charlotte, nothing used to beat that All-Star two weeks in Charlotte.

I know the racing wasn't. This race was good, but I'm going to race. And the way the All-Star race goes now, you could come up with a format that could put these guys with a 10-lapse shootout at the end. I'm here for it. The racing was so bad at Charlotte that we started running the road course. The first few routes of the race. The roval would not exist if every race of Charlotte was like it was for the Coke 600. But that also shows that this car, we've got to work some things out with it because the races we expected to be really good.

Some of them weren't quite as good. But some of the places we didn't, I wasn't sure on Charlotte. I'm sure on it now. I loved it. Love the race. I thought it was awesome. And the only thing that would have made it better to me is to have the All-Star race the weekend before I and Saturday night.

Yeah, unfortunately, I'm pretty sure I saw where there's ticket sales for the 20-23 All-Star race at Texas Motor Speedway. But, I mean, I don't think that can still change. I think I saw somebody make a comment on that. Like, there weren't, it wasn't set in stone until it still are a date change at a certain point in time. I hope so. Yeah, I mean, All-Star Weeks in Charlotte, man, the area just, the atmosphere in the whole

area for those two weeks, man, is phenomenal. I can't even imagine those dudes going for a. million dollars right there. At Texas it was I mean, dude, they ran side, I was trying to figure out which lanes were going to be good. I looked up at the front of the field. They were side by side for the lead for laps. And I'm like, well, that's screwing on my lane choice thing right here because I don't know what to pick yet. So, great race. Would I love to see him do a million there.

Brett, T.J., Freddie, and of course the saint that keeps it all together. Casey, hey, appreciate your time. We were at the ultimate experience. I just I can't believe how great the whole experience was with you guys, how real you were in person and the amount of time that you spent with everybody, just answering questions and just hanging out with us until it was time for you to go do your real job. And I want to thank Mike Davis, Steve is Stefan, for the time that they spent with us,

giving us a private tour, JR Motorsports, where the downloads take place. And Matthew Dillner, just a great, great guy to hang out with. Anyway, I appreciate it. it and don't forget the Columbia story. Thanks and hope to see you guys again. Son of a bit. That guy, I'll never forget the Columbia story.

You know, you really screwed up by even mentioning that story in the beginning because we've all got stories like the Columbia story similar. Nah. Nah. Well, we might not have been... There are nothing like his Columbia story. But we've witnessed other stories very similar to that. On movies.

No, no, no, no, man. Dude. Well, you set that off week in Daytona. Don't tell me you haven't seen some... You were in a tabloid. Okay? I didn't go to Banamaw City. I was not in the tabloid with you idiots.

I wasn't there either. Okay, now I need to hear this story. We've both been to Daytona. We've both been to Daytona on the off week. You're not. The tabloid story almost got me fired, and I wasn't even there. I never seen anything like that. Tell me, tell me, you've never been on any of them, have you?

Tabloids not. I've got to tell them this story. So my buddy, I'm going to tell you. I'm not going to say his name. He lives in the state of Virginia. Okay, he told his old lady that he was going to Daytona for a test session. Okay. Lots of current. Lots of current down there. That's what he was going to Florida for. Let's be clear. This is not your buddy from Virginia that everybody thinks it is. No, it's not. It's not. It's not early. It's not early. Okay. So these guys were nowhere near Daytona Beach, Florida. They were in Panama City,

Florida. And the tabloids get a hold of it. And they fabricate this big story. And they put it out. Well, guess what he does? He goes around to every food line and every gas station and every freaking grocery store in the entire county and buys up all tabloids so his wife doesn't see the story. He had a lot of influence. He was sending people that worked for him out to clean stores. He was like, you guys go out and buy every one of those freaking tabloids because I was not in Panama City. I was in Dayton Beach, Florida. So yes, T.J, we do have some. similar stories, but they still don't match Freddie. Well, I didn't even know what happened. Did his wife find out?

No. Of course not. It was a big deal, and it did get, like, fixed. Like, it was blown out of proportion. I wasn't there on that trip either, thank God. But we've... Sounds fun. Listen, that off week in Daytona, man.

The off week leading into the July race of Daytona is arguably one of my favorite weekends in the summer. You know, you might not remember who was behind the whole. Panama city idea. It was James Fitch. You guys should come down here, come to my condo and party for a week. Yeah, have a great time. Yeah.

And I was like, Elliot, I can't go. Like, I got too much work to do. And thank God I didn't go. Listen. That all week, blown out of proportion of it. Most good stories start with James Fitch. What's going on, guys? My Exfinity More Than Fast Moment is going to go to Jason Schultz for cracking open

that first beer at 6.30 in the morning on 500 day. Yeah, that's a lot of good content, Jason. Keep it up. I would give you credit, except for the fact that I know that was probably the only beer you drank that. Yeah, but we drank 1.6.30, we would probably finish drinking them at like 11.30 night before. So, you know, it was a good, uh, good. I'd give you credit to recovery. If you actually put out the better content.

Jason, you go to the beaver? No, we didn't go there. Why don't you go out? You go out? No one was interested in. I was like, yeah, let's go. And I was like, yeah, where'd you go? Where'd you go?

We had a lot of good food places. St. Elmo's. We hit a lot of good restaurants. That was good then. What else is there? I don't know where else we go there. Aaron is pretty much it. We went to Fogo that one night. My dad had a heart attack in the middle of dinner and that was exciting. I'm sorry I'm laughing because his dad legitimately had a heart attack in room for his dinner. We're in the middle of dinner. I'm like, I got a text bread. I'm like, hey, you got to cover this bill. I got to get out of here. There's like the group of ten of us. I'm like, I got to go.

Son of a B. You were going to buy, weren't you? No, that bad night. But I don't know where else we go there. I don't forget. Muggin' Bun. Mugin' Bunn's good. Hey, guys. This is Jason Schultz.

You remember me? The marketing director, media, vice president of DBC, or something like that. Anyway, guys, this woke up. I'm in the, still in the snake's pit up here in Indianapolis. I think I had about 13 or 16 white claws last night and chased them down with some natty light.

And I don't feel so good, guys. I just, I woke up, somebody put a beach towel over me, and I was under a lawn chair. And I don't think I'm going to make it in. Someone is tattooed a couple of good year tires around my nipples, and they keep coming by and twisting my nipples, saying they're trying to tighten up the lug nut. So it's pretty bad. And guys, I'm just sitting here waiting on my Uber to give me back to North Carolina. So I won't be in today tell Brett he's in charge. Hopefully, I'll see you next week.

You realize how sun burnt Jason would be if he got left outside. He'd be like me. It looked like you. So I look over at Brett. This is great. So middle of the Xfinity race, I look over and it's 8,000 degrees outside. The sun's beating on us.

And Brett's got his sleeves rolled up. And I'm like, what in the hell are you doing? And he's, I'm fine. So then we go to Ken's dinner at the Speedway Club there and I sit next to Brett. And I'm just,

his right arm is five shades darker than his left arm. It was bright red. It was as red as it could possibly be. It was bright red. I'm like, That was a good idea rolling your sleeves up, dumbass. Nice work. I love that some tracks take like amazing care of us

and some act like we don't even exist. I'm up there and I run out of water as hot as 40 hills. I'm texting people in sweets going, will you please bring me a water? I'm about to die. Some of the tracks are awesome. Give us coolers of water and some don't care. One time we had a party and I went down to the pool the next morning.

It was like lunchtime and I had to wake Ben Gable up. And he had been laying in there with no shirt on. all. So bad. Dude, I felt so bad for him. He was literally the color of your phone case. My brother's got the worst sunburn story ever. He passed out, blacked out on the beach in Georgia, face down.

Columbia? New Georgia. And he passed out face down and sunburned, like second degree sunburned the bottom of his feet. How does that work? That's fun to walk. He's also the only human being I've ever known to personally throw up in the ocean. There's an entire world around us. but let's go in the ocean because we're hung over to throw up.

There's four of us. It was me, you, Doug, and John. Yeah. So, like,

we're out there just kind of floating in the ocean. Just waiting in the water. And John all of a sudden, like, just goes, like, drifting off by himself, like a quarter mile to our left.

And I'm like, what the hell is he doing? So now he's behind me. I can't see him. And Brett's like, John's puking in the fucking ocean. He's his shoulder deep water puking. Kids are swimming?

He's spooking. He's puking. And it's like eye level with him. Like, It's a radio sound. He's close to ending it. What an idiot. God, man.

All right. On that note, to leave an audio message 24-7, go to anchor. dot FM slash dormoper clear. You'll see the message icon. Jason will keep picking the best ones and play them on the show. Offer pad. Question of the week. Time for the offer pad question of the week.

If you could move into one of your friend's homes, which friend would it be and why? all of you will probably say Denny. Yeah, I'm going to Danny's house. I say it all the time. I'm going to move in there and see how long it takes them to find me. It's only like 13,000 square feet or something. Honestly, I could live in it. It's more 30,000 square feet.

I could live in just the basketball court area and that would be bigger than my house. I'd hope so. I mean, Jesus, she's live in his closet probably and be fine. It's 30,000 square feet. It looks like a Hampton Inn sitting on top of that hill. I think so it's funny thing, you know, talking about moving. for some odd reason Claudia, Brett's wife

is trying to get me to move closer to Brett and I don't think she really wants to sign up for that. She just knows we're going to move in together and why I'm going to move out I'm moving in with you. I got to go with my buddy, Scott Joy. He lives in Merle's Inlet, South Carolina.

Like the Tiki Bar? He lives in Merle's Inlet, South Carolina and he's got the prettiest view of the inlet, Merle's Inlet there overlooking Atlantic and, man, it's just gorgeous. That's where I will go there. When we go next week, we got to go see him.

I love. You guys are going next week? Two weeks whenever the off weekend is. Oh yeah. Yeah, we're going on Myrtle Beach.

Can we do like an off location trip, DBC trip? Merdo Beach, Murdo Beach. DJ. Hush. I think I'm going to go with a buddy of mine.

His name's Chris Brandt. I don't know if you know. He used to be, he was in the X games. First got to do a backflip on a snowmobile. He's got a... Unless he's an idiot. He probably was, yeah.

He's got a great-looking, place out in the middle of nowhere with lots of snowmobile trail riding area. It just looks really. What state are we in? Man. He doesn't know where he lives. I want to see where it's a great story.

I'm assuming we can't buy it if we don't know where it's at. No, you don't. Well, let's see. We're at snowmobile, so it's got to be somewhere warm. It's, it's, it's, it's Daytona. It's definitely Florida. Maybe South Texas. Phoenix, maybe. Pretty, where are you moving to, did you say?

No, I didn't say. I don't know. The Denny's house. Yeah, Denny's house. Yeah, I'll go to Denny's house. Yeah, I don't want to live in Lake Norman. I do. I don't live somewhere else.

I like it. I'll take, you know where I'll go? I'll go to damn Dib's house on the Ozarks. I like that place. Oh, I don't, that's where I threw up. I don't want to go back here. So a friend of ours is. a driver, a well-accompanced driver

that may have driven for Abraham, Red Bull, and Hendrick. He went to the Ozarks for a week. He spent one night and bought himself a commercial plane ticket home the next day and left. He said, fuck this place, you guys gonna have it, I'm leaving. And he left, and his own private jet was

sitting there, but he flew commercial home. It flew commercial to the next race, and all his buddies took his plane there. So the Ozarks is rough on a man's liver, AJ. It's ridiculous. It's terrible. thank God we only went for what we were only there for like two or three days I know sage beach is rough on a man it's Colorado by the way but yeah the uh the lake of

the Ozarks first of all it's not a freaking lake it's rough it's when you get up in the middle it's a river it is a freaking rough river Clint's like take these jeskeys go for a ride okay well you feel like you're jumping through the damn ocean out there and then you it doesn't sit well when you're you know and then you get back we get back to this house and I'm like like we went back to Clint's and drank more and then we went back to this house we were staying at and I couldn't take it anymore. I threw up over the railing. You know, John threw up in the ocean. I think part of it might have hit the Ozarks. Why are we talking about throwing up this whole show? Go get a cash offer on your home today with our presenting sponsor, offerpad.com.

Time for us to get into our favorite X-Fi more than fast moments from the week. whether you're behind the wheel or online speed isn't the only thing you need. So I want to know what were your more than fast moments this week from Charlotte. Brett. My X-Finity X-5 more than fast moment Casey is hands down, Kyle Larson. I've never seen anybody go to the back as many times as he did and end up right back in the front. It was crazy. Like he would get a penalty.

He would do something crazy. He would hit the wall. And it didn't matter. Next thing you know would tend to go. he's still up there leading the race contending for the win right up until he got rigged. And then he did it again last night at a sprint car race. Three pit road penalties, a spin, hit the wall, on fire. Credit to Cliff Daniels, he had the best motivational speech about halfway through that race I've ever heard.

But my Xfinity X-5, more than fast moment, has to go to somebody in the Xfinity race, which was Noah Gregson. You know, you hear like one thing that we, like that happens us on a week the basis is you'll hear the sound of an engine pitch change. Somebody dropped a cylinder or had some kind of issue. So I noticed it when he was running up front still. I think he was like running second or third. I'm like, oh damn, the nine just dropped a cylinder.

I was like, his day is done. He went to the back. And he had pit, went to the back. And he was hanging out back there. And next thing you know, he figured out what the hell he was doing with seven cylinders and just started hauling ass through the corner and keeping that thing wound up. So my X-Finity X-5 more than the fast moment has to go to Noah Grexon, top five finish on seven cylinders.

impressive. Yeah, that's a Noah's a good example right there for your day is not over. Even in a Xfinity race, you would think your day's over at that point. No, it's not over. So that's a really good choice.

My Xfinity X-Fi moment is going to go to Freddie's car for hitting me again. No, I'm just kidding. My X-Finity X-5 more than fast moment, you know, it's got to be deady to me, surviving that race,

being in the right position again, Denny shows why he's in contention at the end of a lot of races like I talked about because, okay, I've got a fifth place car and now I'm going to run fifth. Well, guess what? The top four just wrecked and guess who's leading? So, and he got to enjoy a late toast in the Speedway Club. So it's hard not to give it to, you know, Denny for using, this is the veteran coming out in him. He's going to chip his way back in this and he's absolutely 100% of championship.

I thought he made a very big mistake on the last restart by letting Kyle get the, to his right rear quarter panel. That's like, we always talk about spot and protect your right rear. And Kyle was behind him on the restart and got clear because Ross had a bunch of damage. And he drove right to Danny's quarter. And I'm like, oh, man, I think he just lost the race right here.

But he fought back on the bottom. Kyle got loose and one and two coming to the checker. But I was like, oh, no, he might have just screwed up right here.

Brett, who's this week's one idiot. Man, I hate to do this to my boy. You're going to do it again. I hate to do this to my team. Jet Burton certainly deserves every honorable mention that there could possibly be out there for his Twitter this past week. But I have to give it the 2311.

You can't, I mean, you look at the race. Harrison Burton was eight tenths off pretty much for the entire race, and he finished 11th, right? Bubba Wallace would have had a chance to win the Coke 600 had he executed the end of that stage at minimum speed. So I hate to give it to the 2311 guys,

but man, they, they deserve it. They screwed Bubba. And Bubba screwed himself, but they, they took themselves out of, out of a 600-mile race just by not executing.

That sucks. We definitely deserve it. My one idiot has to go to, whoever thought it was a good idea to schedule a 7 o'clock practice on Saturday night. Like, I mean,

not for nothing, but we only have one-off weekend. And now here we are, at home where you can spend some time with your family and there's no reason I think that we couldn't have practiced at 10 or 11 o'clock Saturday morning and been done with the Xfinity or A set whatever time it was 3.34 o'clock and you've got all of Saturday night to go home and spend time with your family and or go to the local NASCAR short track Bowman Gray Stadium which a lot of people normally do on this weekend which you eliminated that option by running

this practice at 7 and qualifying at 8 or whatever time it was. So I didn't understand that scheduling at all. Like it just, it didn't make a lot of sense to me. There was, you know, ample opportunity for us to run a 20 minute practice and, and whatever, or 40 minutes, I guess, when you consider both rounds. But yeah, I didn't understand that. Being at home and having to run, we ended the Xfinity race at 3 o'clock, 3.30 probably. Oh, yeah. For sure. And then had to sit around for four hours, three and a half hours waiting for a 20 minute practice, essentially. T.J. who there's a lot to pick from this week you know

Freddie for wrecking the dog food out of me there's I mean that was a come on I know it wasn't your fault but you know I'm going to give it to Brett all right I'll take it because you know what I'm going to bring up I do I'm going to see this as you bring it up

yep that's exactly it I know what else you're pointing at right there, but you thank the wrong guy on Twitter. And, you know, that's a guy does something nice for everybody. We all get to have a nice dinner since we're not at home with our families. Freddie wanted to be out there tanning the chesticles on the boat or whatever he was going to do. Chesticles? My chesticles.

But yeah, I got to give it to Brett for tweeting out false information. and, yeah. Yeah, tell us. So Brett, so believe it or not, I know this is going to be hard for people to understand. Brett was being a wise ass. I know that. I know. Shocker.

And Ken was nice enough to buy us lunch, dinner, whatever you want to call it. And I'm talking everybody. 40 spotters. $3,000. That's a Speedway club. Yeah. Big deal. And Brett said, I think it would be funny if we just tweet out a picture.

of all 40 of us idiots sitting here and say, thanks Marcus for lunch. So Brett was being a little facetious. Just getting, trying to get a look. Yes, I know that. No, I'm not trying to get a look. It wasn't about me at all, I promise. Well, he was being himself.

I'm sorry. You know what Brett says I'm not trying to be a d'b, but. One thing, the Speedway Club, next time, please, please, please, please have the guy's shrimp. Two things. Have the guy's shrimp cocktail.

and don't throw the guy out of the Speedway Club immediately after he finishes the dessert. Please have the guy shrimp. There's people trying to eat their dessert on the way out because as soon as they were like, okay, you guys got to go. They get out. You only spent $3,000 get out of here. Why were you kicked out? Time limit, I guess.

I don't know what happened. Does it be a fun race? Yeah, they were like, hey, this is vastly advertised distance. You got to get the hell out of here. I knew when I read it, but I just thought it was funny. And I'm not, I'm really not going to try to miss a chance to call bread an idiot. I appreciate it. I deserve it.

If you just pick Kyle Larson every week like you have the last couple weeks,

maybe you'll win a couple of weeks. Please do it again in Chad's midget this week. Thank you. Brett and T.J are, or Brett and Jason are tied for the lead with four wins. Freddie has three and then T. And then T. T.J. and myself have two. Let's make picks for Gateway.

Brett. Man, I've almost run out of all my horses here. How many races do we have left? I think that was 15, I want to say. Wow. We reset for the playoffs. Yes. Right?

Complete reset. So I get to pick first, but I don't have anybody worth a crap left. So that's awesome. I'm going to swing for the fence because it's a track that nobody really has an experience at, obviously in these cars, nobody does, but I'm going to go Cal Bush. Maybe that's who I was going to pick, but I'll go Chase Briscoe. That was my second guy I was looking at.

But Ford scares me right now. Ready. I will take Christopher Bell. E.J. William Byron. He let me down last week. So it's a rebound. Welcome to the story of my life with picks, dude.

I am hoping 2311 can redeem themselves, and I'm going to pick Bubba. Bubba Wallace, let's go. Bubba's got a win there. Yeah, I know. That's why I picked him. All right, well, moving on to Gateway, what do you guys think you can expect from the race this weekend?

I know you probably don't have much to go off of. A lot of heat. Oh, my God, it's probably going to be hot. What's the temperature? I don't even want to know. I'm so scared to look. Where's the track at? What city is it?

Oh, Siri. St. Louis? What's the weather going to be like in St. Louis? It's in Illinois. It is going to be hot. It's 88 today in east St. Louis. That's actually I think where the racetracks at.

It's not going to be bad guys. It's only going to be in the 80s. 82. It's right across the river. It's in Illinois. You leave St. Louis across the river. It's right there on the left. It is.

It's going to be 82 on Sunday. So not hot. Not terrible. What about Saturday? 82. It's going to be beautiful. It's not terrible. That's nice.

Trucks are there. not having a lot to go off of as far as research goes when you guys prepare for this race. What's your team doing to get ready? Sim, Sim, Sim, Sim, Sim. Most of these drivers, believe it or not, are probably a run Gateway by handful of times in lower series. So it's not a new track.

I was looking up with results like Bell, Redick, Briscoe. Having seen the facility, turn one looks sketch. Other than that, I think these guys will doubt. So turn one is one of those corners where you don't run the bottom because it's such a tight corner. and so you've got to run up and kind of diamonded it, but it leaves the bottom open, but if you run down low,

you can't make the exit. We've had limited practice at a lot of places this weekend. We're going. We've got 50 minutes. 50 minutes instead of 20 minutes. When we went to Charlotte this past weekend to race, nobody had run more than 30 laps going into the Coke 600, 30 consecutive laps,

which is why we saw those left rear tire issues. So, Jason, I circled a few tracks on the schedule that I, I thought we kind of knew what was going to happen. And we kind of did, right? Texas was one of them. Phoenix was one of them. I go into Gateway having no idea what's going to happen. And not knowing what's going to happen has produced a lot of good racing at places like Fontana, like Coke 600 this past weekend at Charlotte.

So I'm very curious as to what happens. But the unknowns are usually a good thing. Yeah. I'm looking forward to it. I think it's going to be a – it's been a good racetrack for racing. I think it's going to be – one thing that I'm worried about is maybe for – Freddie remembers this is if we have green flag pit stops, the access road in three and four is kind of by itself.

And there's dirt grass between it in the apron. Actually, there's no apron in three and four really. So you're basically up against. I've never been there. So there's turn three and four is right up against the grass. Basically, there's no apron. Pit road. It's like homestead about, you know, how if he, where else?

What track used to have that, the deal where if you got on pit road to you, you slid through the grass back up on on the track? Homestead had that. Okay. So it's like Homestead then. Yeah, you're right. If you get on there hot, which these guys probably don't have a ton of experience

doing Green flag pit stops at Gateway. I don't know if any of them do really. Could be interesting. We saw no green flag cycles during the Coke 600. Got close. No cycles. I'll tell you what.

We were firing tires on that thing early in the race. Oh, yeah. I was like every 15 laps would seem like the booty's like, eventually I'm going to have to leave you out because we cannot just continue to put tires on every 15. We probably would have put moron if you were going to dog food us. I mean. No, I'm excited.

Listen, the city of St. Louis is pumped to get a cup race. And I think that's what's cool about going to new markets is you literally excite the entire area and the people in the area. They're going to come, even if they're not big race fans, just because it's going to be the place to be in St. Louis on that weekend.

Does this give Iowa, Nashville Fairgrounds, hope? I think the Fairgrounds has hope. Obviously, Dale Jr., Marcus Smith, are heavily involved in that one. and Iowa is owned by NASCAR. There's no reason the Cup Series should not go to Iowa one time.

One time. Even if you go once and close it. There's been great races there. It's multi-grove, bumpy racetracks. You've got three racetracks sitting empty right now. Kentucky, Chicago Land, and Iowa. And of those three, I would pick Iowa every single time. I love Des Moines.

I love the state of Iowa. That's funny. I really thought you're a Kentucky type guy. Big Kentucky guy. I thought you really love that. I love Kentucky. I love bourbon. I wish they would blow that race track up with dynamite. Or F-16s.

All right, you can watch DVC on TV. MavTV 7 p.m. Eastern this week and then full version can be found on MavTV plus. Check out Dreadmill Media.
