Producer Jason Schultz references an article about NASCAR changing its procedure on throwing cautions and T.J. explains why they should have thrown the caution for the damaged No. 6 car.Kyle Busch made comments over the radio about his car not handling well in traffic after being unable to pass Chase Elliott for the lead.

Also, they talk about Busch still not having a contract for next year.Bubba Wallace showed his frustration with angry comments over his radio after he had to return to pit road to tighten a loose wheel. Freddie talks about how he’s never seen his driver this animated before and why it’s justified based on their speed that’s continuously negated by pit crew blunders.Finally, Adam Stern tweeted about NASCAR being close to announcing a street race in Chicago for next year and that they are willing to drop a road course. The crew talks about why the track configuration doesn’t need to be overly complicated and which road course event it should replace.In Reaction Theatre, fans call about NASCAR not throwing a caution because Chase Elliott was leading, potential loose wheel penalty alternatives, and a song about the last episode's scheduled guest canceling last minute.      Thank you to our presenting sponsor Offerpad and partners Xfinity and RacingUSA.com for making this show possible.

Door bumper clear presented by Offerpad is back and alive after a late night at Nashville. I'm Brett Griffin, and today we'll talk about the Toyota's pitting late and not recovering. No caution for Brad Kislauski in the wall, bubble Wallace's pit crew, a Chicago street race, and much more. Hey, let's get started. Nobody's listening, but I don't care. I'm on an episode of Door Bumper Clear. Hey, everybody, I'm T.J. Majors. A weekend, I had the one truck, 68 experience.

car and the sixth cup car and I'm not reading my sheet. That's a lot of cars and a truck. Brett Griffin's Spiter for Colleg Racing endured the Nashville weekend. The heat. Always fun to go to Nashville. One of my favorite cities in America, if not my favorite. Hey, what's up, Freddie Crafts, Spotter for Bubba Wallace, Derek Krauss, Lannett Castle. I don't know who put the schedule out, but going to Nashville the week after vacation was a terrible

idea. My God. I just need to get to my house and see my couch. again. Judging by some of your pictures, I think it was a great idea. Oh my goodness. But yeah,

it was an eventful night to say the least. What's up, Casey? Hey, everyone. Casey Boat here. Of course, we have our lovely producer, Jason. Producer Jason Schultz driver

of the number 35. Sprint car. Sprint car. I got my own shirt now. Congrats on. I'm making the feature last weekend. I think today, Jason, you should change shirts

and wear that shirt and be in our group photo. so that everyone can see. Why are you not wearing it already? You're driving skills. You already put one shirt on for the day. I've been paid for this branding today. I'll be paid for that branding another day.

Freddie's lying about the whole vacation backing up to Nashville. What he really means to say is he was a Megan for 20 straight days and he's about to kill her. Somebody's getting killed. I saw them both on Saturday night and they were sitting at the at Legends and they were both of the table and they looked like they weren't even together. They were just looking at music, like not even staring at each. other. Megan does that a lot.

We go on public. She does that often. When we go out of public, she tries to get away from me. I know how to get out of it if you need to. Yeah. I'm sure I can figure out away. Start like seven midget teams. No problem.

Maybe I'm not going to be here. Anyways. Speaking of a T-shirts, Jason, I do have to thank Kerry. I think I have to thank them. Carrie and Drew Thorne sent me a very nice shirt from the seven-line army. How big is the New York Mets? Hold that up. What is that number on there, Fray?

There's maybe a couple more exes on here that needs to be. Oh, how you have? Are you a 4X now? I'm on my way. I mean, if I keep trending this same direction, I'll be a 4X soon. Not yet, but I will still, I'll find a place for it and hopefully never grow into it. But I will definitely find a place for it. So, Freddie opened that up.

And he looked at it and was like, oh, this is pretty cool. And then he saw the size of it. He's like, this is a little insulting. But here's the thing. Freddy doesn't like tank tops. This is the perfect shirt to cut the sleeves off of it. And then you got a lake shirt. shirt. I just give it a Megan, and she can get like a dress. She wears it like a dress. She can wear

as a dress. I mean, you did just pay for a nice vacation for her, right? Yeah, I really, at the least she could do. Oh, please. Before you get yourself in more trouble, I'm good. I'd like to give you all some credit for being here this morning after maybe going to sleep at like five in the morning. Late night last night? I was about 4.45. I got home about 3.15 and I've started watching this damn Harry Potter mess because my kids are on me about watching Harry Potter. And their movies are like 18 hours each. Like you don't just turn on a movie and watch it on a plane ride home from Nashville. It's a two and a half, two hour 45 minute ordeal.

Let me break this down for you guys. So we're in the condo in Myrtle Beach. And I don't know if they have a Harry Potter channel, but there was one in our condo. And Brett did nothing but bitch about it. He's like, who the fuck is watching is Harry Potter shit all got all day? I mean, what this? And then the kids are like, Dad, you got to. start watching these movies. They're great. They're amazing. And now how many movies are in

are you now? I'm nine hours in and I've watched one movie. I've seen the first one and the second one and it was 5 a.m. in the morning when I finished the second one this morning. I have no idea what happened. So that's why you're watching Harry Potter. So I got to go back and watch Freakor. Are they going to watch them? Yes, you need to watch them. They're all really good. They're great. Yes, they're great. I'm on the last episode of Ozark. Oh, I hate that show. Hate it. That's pretty, that's miserable. It is the most. Why? depressing show you could ever watch. Why is it depressing?

Because everybody dies. Oh, you just ruined the whole damn thing for T.J. No, that's what you get. My favorite part of Ozark was when the blonde-headed mean attorney lady died. Yeah, you should be, you get to that part. Keep doing spoilers out to people. He's already seen that part. The blonde-haired, what?

Which one is that? The mean, the lawyers, like the cartel lawyer. Well, as we get into. TJ pays no attention when he watches. He shows. He just puts a new blood. There's been so much death already in that show. I don't even know.

As we get into Nashville, which I think was a pretty solid race. Freddie, um... Which race? All of them. Freddie, have you been hired as Bubba's pit crew yet? Uh, no. Listen, they don't want me doing it.

I can promise you that much. Yeah, I don't mean, we talk, I thought we'll talk about it later in the show, but... Yeah, you're way out of line here, Casey. It's, uh, it's, it's, it's, It is what it is. You know, we'll talk about it later. Did you anything fun in Nashville over the weekend?

Nope. Okay. You are lying your ass off. He is 100% all right. I went. We had a party at the Wild Horse Saloon, which is just behind Broadway. I mean, literally a half a block. That place is massive.

It is three stories. Like, it is the line dancing. Got to be the line dancing capital of the state of Tennessee. Did you clog or whatever you did? It was 100 degrees in there. I would have died. But it's a cool ball. There's so many cool bars in Nashville.

Here's a great story that comes out in Nashville, and I will leave one of the names out to protect the innocent. But one of the spotters was maybe going out to have some drinks with his team and had a bunch of drinks, did not decide to eat dinner at any point in the evening, and was pretty intoxicated. And mind you, it was 300 degrees that day. So he was supposed to meet up with a different spotter that night,

and, you know, didn't, I guess. So they go down to the one spotter, goes down to the, McReynolds was the one he was supposed to meet up with. So he goes down to talk to McReynolds and he's like, hey, Brandon, what'd you do last night? You know, I thought we were going to hang out. What'd you do? And Brandon said, well, I hung out with you. He said, no, no, what?

He said, yeah, we were together most of the night last night. He's like, you don't remember that? He's like, no. Did somebody clone you? No, I swear to God, it wasn't me. But I thought that was hysteria. That's a Nashville story. I've ever heard one.

Like, what did you do last night? Well, I was, I was with you, most of the night, actually. That's great.

I go to Nashville probably 15 to 20 days a year. I mean, it's just, I got a lot of work around there to do. And there's a hell of a lot of fun to be had. I've never seen it as crowded and it's fun and as busy as I was this weekend. Those, you know,

those bachelor parties that get on those bicycles where you face each other. And you just pale your little ass off. You drive around. And you drink and you listen to loud music. Like, I bet there were 40 or 50 of those things in town. Does anybody else think that's a terrible idea? I mean, that's got to be miserable,

especially when it's 100 degrees outside. I mean, maybe I'm just my inner 4x talking. But I'm going to not talk because that was me. Did you do it? So anyways, did you enjoy riding around on a bench pedaling your ass off drinking? On my bachelor's party, yes.

When was it? Oh. Like a month. I don't. Was it like, Oh, September. See, so it wasn't a thousand degrees. I mean, it's probably a little hot.

Well, if you start early, like I saw some when I was leaving for the track at 8 in the morning. So if you start early, like, that's a great idea. I'll bet there's some good dancing videos of her from that trip. Anyways, how else was Nashville besides all the fun on Broadway? I mean, Murphy'sboro was happening. Is that where you were? Yeah. Yeah.

definitely. I mean, it's nice town, whatever. Bad, like a, like a Birkdale. I'm assuming you never ventured down to town at all. No, uh, Herm took me to some hole in the wall place to eat on Saturday and then I went back and watched. He's about the king of hole in the wall places.

Oh, yeah. I'm like, what? We got a chop house over here and he's like, oh, yeah, last year I got in the chop house and got hemmed up by somebody for the whole dinner I didn't like it, so I'm going to go to this other place. I just want to get us a race actually in Nashville. at the fairgrounds versus nothing wrong with Lebanon.

I mean, it's nowhere near Nashville, but it'd be nice to actually be in Nashville. On Saturday or Saturday night. And I would like it to be, if it's going to be in the end of June, it would be nice if it was a night race because my God. Yeah. When you look at sports as a whole, the environment and the synergy around the sport and it being a sellout and being a pack house, as part of it makes it awesome. And I'm telling you right now, TV, the track, and now, NASCAR should not ask our fans to come out to an event where it's 100 plus degrees and spend your hard-earned money.

I mean, if you're a family of four, you're talking about hotels where three, four hundred bucks a night, tickets are, I'm sure, 150 bucks a piece. Like, you're talking, you're asking me to spend three grand to come out there and burn the up all day. Buy your own drinks. I mean, it's literally, I saw people walking in, Jason, with a clear backpacks full of waters. I'm talking 12, 15 waters. I did the same thing in my spotter bag.

I didn't have a cooler because I thought there'd be a cooler on the roof on Saturday. There wasn't. I don't care how many waters you got. When it's 110 degrees outside, guess what temperature they turn? 110 degrees. Yeah. So there is no way. I'm sorry.

Like, listen, I'm all frustration in Nashville. I don't love that racetrack. I don't love the concrete mile and a half. But at the end of the day, NASCAR, the track, and TV cannot ask anyone to go out there and sit. and that God forbidding heat. I, yeah, and I want to give a shout out to everybody who waited out that lightning strike delay because, I mean, there were people sitting in the stairwells.

But that's when it got nice. It was beautiful out after the storm. You could actually sit outside and enjoy being at a function. Saturday and Sunday were freaking miserable. It was really, really hot. And, you know, that's part of our job. What we signed up for is to be up there in the elements. but there are, there's two race tracks that stand out to me right now

that we can only carry so much stuff. And most of us bring little coolers, but, you know, there's some tracks, most notably to me, is Phoenix and Kansas, who constantly restock coolers on the roof with ice and water, knowing how hot it can be and how long you're up on the roof. So thank you, Kansas and Phoenix. A few years ago for tweeting at Chicago.

It was 116 heat index. I got in trouble for tweeting. I remember how hot it was. It would be really nice to have coolers full of water on the still on the roof for us because apparently people got offended that I was hot as hell and dehydrating. I mean, we had a spotter this weekend. I mean, TJ and I were a part of helping him. I mean, he was in trouble.

He had changed colors. He was leaning up against an air condition thing. I thought he was going to go down. I was really nervous. A bunch of us chipped in, cooled him down, got a medic up there to fix him. But even in that situation, like we don't. have the means to have anything up there to cool ourselves down if the track doesn't provide it. So it's just unfortunate that these tracks, look, they could provide shade.

They could put, they could put some freaking poles up and put a big piece of cloth up and provide us with some shade. They don't want to do that. They don't care. That's fine. Like T.J said, we signed up for this. But we do need to be able to have freaking cold drinks up there. And there is a way to fix that.

Put a freaking cooler. Yeah, I even, I mean, I'll bet if we all chipped in, everyone would chip in to, we had to. You know what I mean? I mean, I will give him, I don't know how much credit, but they did try to provide drinks, but the same thing, they put them in a bucket with ice that was melted

and they were hot or room temperature by 50 laps into the race. I actually kind of like the racetrack. It's very challenging for the drivers. It's slick. Guys, you know, you see guys lose. I saw plenty of guys go up the racetrack, lose, tight, all sorts of handling issues,

which I like. But when we have the lightning delay, there's nowhere. Like, there's nowhere for us. Okay, where's that at? Yeah, and I could not find anywhere to get out of the rain or anything like that. And, you know, the first lightning deal there, there's nowhere to go. I got a really good chuckle out of everybody seek shelter. Drivers stay close.

What? Yeah. Which one? Because I don't think they could do both right now. I mean, that's another thing. You got drivers that are in the car probably what, 130 degrees. degrees, you know, 120, 130 degrees in the car. And you're telling them, oh, you, like, wouldn't you say, like, hey, guys, get to your

damn buses, get in the AC, hang out. They all have golf carts. It's not like it's going to take them an hour and get back to their car. It wasn't far either. The RV lot was not far. It's going to be a two-minute drive back to the track. Like, let them go to their damn bus and get out of the elements for a little while and cool down.

But, yeah, I didn't understand that much at all. I still think Bruton Smith, God rest of soul. Obviously, lost his life this past week, 95 years old, legend in the sport in the Hall of Fame. Best quote he ever said, we work for the fans, then act like it. Yeah. Act like it.

If the fans are your, that's truly who you care about the most, especially the ones that are spending money to be at your facility, then act like it. 100%. I've never, I did witness something that I've never witnessed before is when you park in the parking lot,

you had to park a certain direction. Yeah, that was very, very... That parking attendant must have been gone when I parked. Yeah, they were very, very, It was very strict to start and then it got loosened out. So a couple pull in on what day we get there on Friday. And you park, usually you park your car according to where the sun's at if you're going to be in it for a little bit because you don't want the sun beating on you. Well, that wasn't allowed.

I mean, you just had to park aiming towards the racetrack and deal with it. Well, the duty you parked my car wasn't wearing shoes. Yeah. So I'm not really sure what. You're at a lot? No. What did you find a value? In the same lot as you.

Oh, dude, I'm not going to lie. It's 100 degrees outside, and this dude walked by me, and earlier I saw him in flip-flops. He walked by me, and he was barefoot on that stuff. I don't know how. Like, I have no idea how. It was like walking across coals, and this dude just walking around in it.

Living in his best life. Yeah. I actually gave that dude of water on Friday. Did anybody watch the SRX race? I watched it, because I didn't see it, but I saw Tony Stewart try to choke Bernie Francis out on pit roads. I didn't understand what it was going. vintage Tony was out.

It was actually very entertaining. I seen an interview where he, like, won the race, but he was pissed off at everybody. He wanted to kill everybody. It sounded like. After the heat race, he wanted to throw down. He was really mad. He did one of those classic, you know, everyone was driving like, and they, I mean, he's a veteran racer.

Some of these younger guys aren't, they're going to be more aggressive. They want to get up there and make stuff happen. But Tony, uh, Tony got angry. Did you see, did you see a re? I saw the one replayer. where he grabbed that one, that Ernie Francis by the... Did you see his interview? No. Oh, they interviewed him and he was just like,

everyone's driving like idiots, a bunch of dumbasses, things like that. Big meeting on next week. We're going to have a meeting after the meeting. Well, I mean, I think he, then, like, so then you're like, they interview Ernie and Ernie's like, yeah, I'm not backing down. I mean, I came here to race and I didn't do anything I think was crazy, but I'm not, I'm not backing down. I'm like, okay.

So then like... It's kind of like a senior PGA event, right? You got a bunch of old guys that are very accomplished racers. Yeah. And then you throw in a couple hot shoes that are young guys. But at the end of the day, when they put their helmets on, they're race car drivers. Yeah. They forget about the guys and gals that have got to fix these cars.

Like five minutes after that, though, they show Tony and Ernie and they're laughing with each other and stuff. Like, I'm like, wait a minute. I thought we were going to see these guys go at it. Tony's left-handed, too. You got to watch him. He don't mind throwing fists. Michael got really mad.

You see Michael. I've heard Michael in Hunter. He got a note or something. Yeah, but I don't, like, if you watch the replay of the rack, you know, Michael's kind of crowd him a little bit on the axe and he bumps him. and then Michael chops him into the corner, like, and he was still there. So it's not like the guy drove in there, you know, Corey LaJoy Deep and sent him. Not like, you don't want Michael Autrop, man.

He didn't drive it in like, who the hell got Bowman yesterday? That's Corey. Yeah. Yeah. And that's why, you know, and I don't know, he said he, Uncle Mike's going to have a talk with him. That's what he told or said something like that. It's pretty funny, though. Entertaining race.

Oh, yeah. like to thank Bojangles for my biscuit and Freddy's biscuit. And Brett's biscuit. Thanks for my biscuit. I'm not going to have any more ever again, probably now that I see the size in this t-shirt. Well, you need to keep eating so you can wear your shirt. Before we go, we have to shout out winning car owners here. Chad and Casey won last night with Jade Avedesian.

If I'm not, that's the first female to win a national midget race, right? They won an extreme outlaw race, which is the new midget series for the World of Outlaws Group. So that's awesome. Jade is super, super talented, has a lot of speed and is learning to race. She's had struggles. She's had some pretty wild wrecks this year, but she is super talented. And once she gets everything figured out, she's going to be forced to be wrecking with for sure. That's cool. Did you go celebrate last night? What did you contribute to that?

I was curious. I knew that. I contributed coming back from my race early, so Chad could make sure he goes to his race. Basically nothing. Basically absolutely nothing. I provided moral support. That's why he's gone all the time. I've seen her drive a few times.

She's impressive. She's how old? 15. 15 years old. 15 years old. That's insane. She's awesome. And you know it was a good one when Chad tried in victory lanes.

That's good. That's because he was coming home. For the record, he full. The race is over. He came home and went straight to the shop. So, yes, you're probably accurate. I think I've seen where they did they wreck it and flea fixed it or something. Like, they wrecked the hell out of the car.

I see a picture of flea. Unfortunately, it's been, it was, when Jade said it in their interviews, she, there were a lot of wrecks this week. So you're kind of like the team mom for this team, I'm guessing, right? Because you're, it's all kids. No, because I don't provide snacks or anything. So when they win like that, like, what do you do to show your gratitude? I'm curious. let them come back.

What am I supposed to do? Is there something I'm supposed to do? I mean, you give you give all the Xfinity teams when they win and they're not even your kids. So I'm just curious what you do for your people. Bojangles. You give Bojangles to all the Xfinity teams when they win. So you do nothing for your people when they win.

Well, I stay married to Chad while he runs 90 races a year. I have some thank you notes in the back of my truck. I watched Chloe so I can race. I stayed married to. had that was it. No, when I'm at the track, I provide them with meals and. That's funny. We didn't get anything from you.

Did you get anything from Casey this weekend? Are you my husband? We got invited into a suite. Yeah, exactly. So at least invite them into a suite. Is there a suite at a Jacksonville Speedway? Probably not. Probably not.

Hey, Jason, did you watch the race this week by any chance? Sunday. Yeah, Sunday. I've seen a lot of complaints about pre-race and post-race. Was it not on TV? It's on Peacock, which is an interesting development. I didn't know if that was a fact because we were off NBC and was post-race and it was midnight. The pre-race was on peacock regardless because there was some other track and field maybe something on NBC.

Then post-race, I assume it was going to be on peacock regardless. But we'll see how that develops. That's interesting. I've seen a lot of people not very happy about that. that. Everything is going to streaming. Regardless, I think at this point, we're going to get used to it, but people are going to complain about it because NASCAR people aren't. Peacock wants to make money. So the only way you're going to make money is by putting

stuff on your service that people want to watch. It makes sense, but it's going to be, that's not something NASCAR fans are used to. Well, I mean, look, we talked about this. At least there was a post race. We talked about this years ago on this show that everything is going to streaming. And the reason I was privy to make that comment was because I was with Blake Shelton. was in some meetings and it's obvious that everything is going to streaming. So everything.

I mean, we've said that on the show. So if you're a long time listener, you're not surprised by this. But if you're Peacock, your number one objective is to sell more subscriptions. Well, how are you going to do that? You're going to put content that people are willing to pay for onto your streaming platform. And if you're a diehard fan, you're going to pay $5 or $10 a month to go get it. But at least there is a poster race. I mean, they're providing, they're providing content that people want to see.

That's why I love TV, man. Is it like 4.99 a month? Yeah, there's something like that. Then there's like a $10 option. So you're, we saw the whole first half of the year, people did nothing but because there wasn't enough post race. Are you not willing to pay a dollar a week or, you know, a dollar a week to watch the post race?

And I personally pay, I personally pay for Peacock because it is a great streaming service. So, um, I know. My son's streaming service for his baseball is 30. $3.99 a month. That's $360 a year. And if you want to watch it, guess what? You're going to pay for it. And if you don't want to watch it, then shut the fuck up.

Yeah, I don't, I don't see the reason. Sorry, Jason. I mean, but I'm serious. Like, you can't complain. There's not enough content. And then when the content's offered, you say, well, I'm not paying for it. It's no different than when Jeff Gluck went to work for the athletic. And people like, I'm not paying for read his articles.

Okay, well, then don't. Yeah. Because the people that are going to, you know. more content than you're going to get it. That's how the guy makes a living. Do you not want to support his living? Do you like his material? NBC. People are greedy. They even had a post race for for Xfinity series. Now, like, I mean, they are doing what fans are asking. They're providing the content that they want. I think that's great because then you get to know these young guys a little bit more. Let's push them.

And I laughed. We were sitting at the beach and it was the off weekend. The truck race was getting ready to start. We had just talked about this with Burton on here. what was a baseball game or something was running long and it was on FS1 and the heat races were supposed to be on FS1 and just like we suspected everybody starts blowing it's the ninth inning of a two run baseball game

and they're like get this shit off my TV where's the heat races because they started them on FS2 or something like that and I'm like you don't you don't get it like you want NASCAR to run into whatever behind that you know after NASCAR whether it's a hockey game or whatever else but you know you want your stuff to start right on time you don't get it both ways

so I mean give them credit for finding a way to make it work. Even if you don't have that part, but they're making it work. You wouldn't want them, you know, we had a long red flag. Are we just supposed to can the rest of the race, not let you see it? No. There's other things on too. I have to, I don't know, Jason, if you saw this, I have to give a shout out to NBC too for like their coverage during the delays, as well as being able to explain some of what was going on, such as when Bush's tire came off. They provided the graphic that really helps fans see what went wrong. What did they show this? I think it. There's nuts comes loose and the tire comes off.

I think it was Weaver that I read this morning. Aside from the Peacock complaints, I saw a lot of positivity about the coverage. And I think Weaver was one of them that said like some of the graphics are way better. Obviously, I'm assuming they're not cartoon characters like Fox was. But yeah, that's good to hear that at least the coverage was good.

And then listen, like Brett said, this is where we're going with peacocks. Honestly, one of my favorite was parts of this was when Kyle was trying to get, after Chase. I think it was towards the end of the race and they proved that. What do you mean get after? What's that mean? Trying to catch up to Chase

and they provided the data from or data whoever you want to say it from Kyle's car to show what was going on in his car as he was getting closer, how they were comparing it to Chase's car. So it was they did a great job explaining especially the fans who don't watch all the time.

Here's my thing about pregame, pre race, pre whatever. How many options do you have for NFL on Sunday morning to watch pregame shows? There's CBS, there's ESPN, there's NFL network. A ton of them. It's all over the place. NFL network, all of them. This opens up, the streaming opportunity opens up for other people to be able to offer

some sort of pre-race experience, whether it's from their living room or from the racetrack or whatever. I realize that Fox and NBC have all these exclusives, but what's going to stop us, Dirtymo media, from sitting in this studio and streaming our own pre-race show, 30 minutes before on the dirty mode media platform, right, that you pay $2.99 a month. So, like, I think people are missing the boat. And I went back forth yesterday with some folks. Like, Netflix went out of business.

Netflix boom because Blockbuster wasn't willing to change their model. Kodak cameras. Yeah, they came back for a hot minute because of some rap song, but they're dead. Like, when you look at business models, if you don't change, you go out of business. So what the NBC's doing, the power of the peacock, it's pretty brilliant. It makes sense, but my problem is that it's like NASCAR needs as much advertisement promotion as possible. You want to reach as many people as possible. And I understand why they're streaming the pre-race shows.

But the NFL doesn't stream. They're very accessible to millions of people. I think NASCAR needs more accessible content, needs to reach more people, to bring more people in. So they will eventually pay for that streaming service because they're already invested. Yeah, I think you're 100% right. And I think what you're saying, NFL's going to go to that. It's going to happen. It's just we're doing it first.

And why wouldn't you, if you're NBC, why wouldn't you use NASCAR as the pilot for that? No different than when you launched NBC Sports Network, which, oh, by the way, it's gone, right? But when you go try new things, you have to have somebody to try them with. I mean, you're starting to see this, I think, with the NFL already. Aren't they going to have a Thursday night game on Amazon Prime? Like, now you've got a game. Like, they're putting the game on a streaming service. They've been on Amazon Prime already.

Yeah, but they're having like an ex-I think this is an exclusive, like, I'm pretty sure it's exclusive of Amazon Prime game. Please tell me it's not the first game of the year. I think it's like the Thursday night game. I don't know. I think first night is on NBC. Yeah. But I mean, you see stuff going in this direction.

And they're stack in their broadcast lineup, which makes people want to pay for us. So that might be another perk of streaming. If you put a really good crew together, people are going to want to pay to hear their analysis. All right.

So many awesome things to do there.

If you're interested in moving to Music City area, Offerpad can make that happen. And asked where you heard about OfferPad, select the NASCAR option so they know we sent you. Spot on, spot off. 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. Um, uh, uh, uh, there's only one correct answer. I don't know.

It's time for spot on, spot off. First topic, the top running Toyota's pit during the final caution and don't get back up front while Chase Elliott stays out to win at Nashville. Spot on, spot off, Brett. Obviously a mistake by these crew chiefs. I think they thought more guys behind them would come and you think you're going to drag guys with you to pit road. And when the first guy to pit comes off pit road 11th with, you know,

four or five laps to go or whatever, up being like you got you got no chance to come back and win the race unless you keep getting caution after caution after he starts chase elliott man shout out to him uh i thought it was going to be the toyota show you know you look at sonoma and i realize it's a road course but toyotas were horrible i know you guys talked about it uh with our secret guest john hunter nemochek who was wearing camo couple of weeks couldn't even see him couldn't even see him on here here just like he didn't see hosovar the other night when he chopped across his nose yeah yes but toyota's suck at sonoma like

Like they were horrible. I mean, I got to the airport and saw some of their drivers, and they were head down and shaking their head. Like, they were baffled. And then you come back this weekend, and they completely dominated. The finishing results don't show that. Obviously, Kurt had a decent finish. Christopher Bell still snuck in a top 10.

But to have cars like Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch had and then to take yourself out of contention to win, ouch. That's going to be a hard one to swallow. Freddie. Yeah, I mean, spot off. There's 26 cars in a lead lap at that point. You've got to imagine that 8 to 10 of them are going to stay out, especially the guys at the very back that are decent.

We were running 24th. We said if we can get in the top 10, we're going to stay out. We restarted 10th, finished 12th. But, you know, and I think that I think there was a mistake made by one of them. You know, Martin, I believe, was told, if you go back and listen to the radio, if you can get the front row, stay out. and he had the front row and followed the 11 and 18 down pit road

unfortunately for them and then you just listen if you can think if you're thinking that 8 to 10 cars are going to stay out there you're not winning the race with four laps to go from 9th 10th 11th wherever you're going to restart it's not happening

not with this package not with this car there wasn't enough tire fall off to make that big a difference so I just think it was a mistake on their part like Brett said obviously you're thinking is hopefully if I pit from second I drag you know everybody but four or five cars down here and I can restart

the top three rows and he'll have a shot at it. But you just open yourself up to, you know, everything can go wrong. Look at the day. You know, Danny got back through the pack, just being super aggressive. He got back to sixth because he's great. But, I mean, you guys know where Martin and Kyle finished?

Martin was behind me. Martin and Kyle finished 21st and 22nd. And they had the two of the three fastest cars of the day there. So, I mean, just a mistake on their part. You know, and like I said, maybe a bigger mistake by just, you know, coming down pit road when you're probably told to stay out there. But just a unfortunate deal for them guys.

But yeah, you just get balanced. When you put yourself in jeopardy of, you know, if you go back there and restart 12, 13th, everybody's on kill mode for three laps and you're going to end up, you know, somebody's getting wrecked back there. And we saw that obviously. Yeah, I felt that obviously. Yeah.

Spot off. But I think what happened is it got colder. It cooled off a lot. lot, the sun went down, and we've seen cars, the raw speed cars that are super fast when it's gripped up, showed up more. And I think they saw that, and I think they might have thought the only chance they had of beating the nine at that point was to try to get an advantage on them. And I think that's why those guys pitted, because it was obvious, Larson was not very good early in the day. He was making a lot of ground there at night. And, I mean, he was working his way

back up there pretty decently, I thought. So, you know, and Ross as well, those, the, basically the Chevy's, the Hendrick cars are raw speed gripped up. We, we were very fast. And all weekend. Yeah. And, you know, we noticeably lost an advantage

as it cooled down, you know, the bottom group became more dominant. We lost her a little bit too. And we were, I mean, we were driving by people all race long until the end there when Bubba could tell, you know, Bubba's like, we've lost our advantage. He said, you know, we, we, had a big advantage to start the race and we've lost our advantage now. And the nine driving from back to the front, I mean, you could tell he was, he was fast,

but we were good when it was hot and slick. When it, when it cooled off and took all the rubber off the track, we weren't nearly as good. We were probably 14th place, 13th, 4th in place car at that point. I think the biggest thing we're missing here is Denny Hamlin doesn't have an opportunity realistically to go finish top 10 in points and get a lot of bonus points as, as regular season comes to an end. If you're second in points, you get 10 bonus points for the playoffs.

So he's not in a position to go get those. So I think what he and Gabe Harder thinking is, we're not going to beat the nine right here. He's too dang good. He's got control of the restart. He's got lane choice. We're not going to beat him on a quick shootout. And we don't have anything to lose because all we care about is playoff points.

We're not going to get more by staying out. Let's try to win the race. And I think when he did that, it maybe screwed some people's thought process up. there are guys out there that do need to worry about points, even though they already have wins because we all know those guys get paid points if they're in the top 10 when regular season ends. You're not worried about points. I'm not worried about points. Freddie ain't worried about points. But when you look at the decision that was made, it's like, man, I think the 11 was win or quit,

and when he made his call, it kind of screwed things up. I think that I saw an interview where Denny said, I don't know if it was Bob or Jordan or somebody, but he said we're from here on out we're throwing Hail Mary's to the playoffs like trying for wins because you know that's you're just going for those playoff bonus points now for the wins and yeah i mean i i understand that but i think that the more realistic quote unquote hail mary is restart on the front row with chase and try to outrun them because like i said if you're if you're damn eighth you're just not going to be able to get there i don't think i mean and he got there i mean he started 12th and got to sixth but but like you said i don't think they i don't think they thought that many

people. Yeah, but with 26 cars in the lead lap, you got to know there's a bunch that are going to stay out. I mean, you just saw it. You just saw it on that. I stayed out. We got caught on that caution because of so many guys, the whole back half of the field ran long on that one caution, just trying for hoping for a miracle and they got it. That was awesome.

Yeah. And now you give these guys another chance at a miracle by throwing a caution with five to go or whatever it was. And all right, here, like if all these guys pit, we're staying out, we're going to restarting the top 10, 12, and hope we can hang. Everybody that was back there running, you know, 20. 20th around there, why not try it? You know, I'm around 24th.

If we restarting the top 10, I'm not going to go back to 24th and 4 laps. I think we were around 15th, but when that all, on that last restart, we were choosing from 6th or 7th. Yeah. And when we went in turn 1, we went all the way to the 3rd lane because we were kind of the buffer car. We were right there at it. And we went to the 3rd lane and so did Kyle.

And when Kyle got right to us, I thought he was going to wreck us because you could tell he was trying to go, but there was just no, there wasn't a lane. Yeah. And when he didn't, he didn't wreck us, we went down into three and four, and obviously somebody, I'm not sure who got into the 41.

41's in the middle, I think. I would tell you, but I can't. Who wasn't it you? No, it wasn't it? Had to be Denny. He had to be. He won't tell you it is. All right. I thought it was a great move of whoever did it.

Denny, if he hits the 41, 41 comes up and hits us and destroys our car. So, um, well, it was just a few weeks ago that, that guy you can't talk about was saying that's just not a very smart decision. But, you know,

at the end, it's free for all. I mean, you're everyone, no one's going to lift at that point. You're going to fill every hole. Did you guys see Kyle on the last lap? Somebody said he was wall riding.

He went through one and two. Oh, dude. Dude, he went through one and two and ran like the high lane like, like, like, then I'm like,

okay. So then he goes into three and four and he just tries to do it again. And he gets into the wall. in the middle and he just stays in it. He stays on the wall a whole way around the corner. Yeah. Like a video game. It did.

It was like Darlington with Larson. We just stayed in it. You know, we talked about these things being gripped up. Did anybody, I don't know if a lot of people saw. I don't know if TV showed it. But Danny put the bumper to Ross coming to the, coming to the checker. And Ross didn't move. Like, he drove into one and pushed him all the way through one and two.

And Ross barely budged. Like they just drove off of two and Ross drove away from again. It looked like Daniel Suarez had not. no idea how to get around that racetrack. And he was still hauling ass all day yesterday. That's how good track house cars are. Like, I would watch him pick up a throttle and shoot up the track. Like, he looked like he literally did not know how to get around this race track.

He would drive in three carlings too deep. And you'd be like, oh, we're going to make it. We're going to beat him down this day. And then he'd get that thing turn. He'd be like, son of a gun. Like, if you just... Well, that's what the guy, like, the drivers talked about that, too. That's a big deal with the shifting is like you can mess up and just drop a gear and kind

of take off where, you know, years past, it was, you know, you couldn't do that. Because if you made a mistake, you're just, you've killed all your momentum for the next straightaway. Yeah. Now you just drop a gear and take off again and there's no effect really. Speaking of moves like that, did you see, was it the Briscoe block Ross there near the beginning into one? Yeah, that's their old Ross Chats ain't don't give a to her coming back. Yeah, like, and there's two things. Like, first of all, why make that move for that spot that early in a race?

You're forcing something. You're putting something in a bad spot. It was a solid battle. I mean, they were only like 27th, I think. Something like that. Yeah, really good. Really solid battle. I mean, it was going to pay off if you could get the lead right then for sure.

But yeah, I mean, you're going three wide to the bot. Forcing things, just that's not, to me, that's not a championship ready person yet. You're going to make a mistake and it's going to cost you. And your car is super fast. And he's lucky he didn't because he was when they, he, you know, he knocked chase up into whoever was, Ty Dillon, I think. And Ross was right behind them. They could have easily collected them and took him out of the race. You know, just like that.

But yeah, I'm surprised. Not really. You alluded to this a little bit earlier, but no caution for Brat Kislauski and Cole Custer in the wall on the final restart after NASCAR announced a change in the process of calling cautions. Jason, you want to read? So since the all-star race, NASCAR said there's been an increase in communication between the race director, the senior vice president of competition, the series director, and racing control on calling the cautions. If there is a serious accident that requires immediate caution to be called,

the race director has the power to do so. but when it comes to a key juncture in the race, the increased communication between the three officials and race controls viewed as helping with the consistency and accuracy and caution calls. Brett, spot on, spot off. So what were these three people doing when that tire was rolling around a racetrack off Chris Buster's car?

Were they texting each other and asking, hey, should we throw this caution? Look, I'm going to actually defer this to my good friend, T.J. Majors, you were in this caution. Oh, you actually weren't in the caution. You were in the wreck. Who's in the wreck? He was in a question.

Should it have brought out of caution? I mean. This is a yes or no answer. I believe it should have. I believe it should have. Why? If that wreck happens at a different point, I don't care if it's the end of the race or not.

My guy barely had any steering. It was probably, I mean, I'm telling him to get under the apron. He is fighting it to get down there. I mean, I don't know if you saw how bad a thing. It would like literally veer one way or the other. And I didn't want to stop because it's, I didn't want to ruin the race

if they were going to keep it green. And I'm sitting there telling me to get low. Before they're even saying, tell the six to get, I mean, I was hollering him way before that. You're clear low, get to the apron down here.

You know, when you can here, get down to the flat. And, you know, I know if that wreck happens in the middle part of a race or something. I feel like a caution comes out.

But, um, you know, I, because we were still moving, I understand, you know, at the end there,

why, you know, it's, look people I didn't see the race for the lead I was more worried about keeping Brad down on the apron I didn't know what was going on but to me in the middle part of the race if I I think that's a caution if you think it's a caution then I'm on your side and I'm spot off that there was no caution because the wreck that I saw the wreck that I spotted my driver through I was waiting to say caution is out yellow yellow yellow and I did not do that because they keep going and

And the hard part for us, as spotters when that happens is we're wondering whether or not our NASCAR channel is working. So now we're taking our eyes off of the racing and we're looking at the flag stand. And that guy's standing there with a yellow in his hand just dying to throw it, but nobody's telling him to throw it. So it's as a spotter, you don't know when they're going to throw it and when they're not, Freddie. Yeah.

I mean, listen, in my, in 100% honesty, I don't think that that needed to be a caution. But I promise you one thing, we've seen a lot less be thrown, you know, a caution be thrown for a lot less than that. So, you know, listen, that description, I didn't know that description because you didn't put in the notes until, you know, you just read it. But that pisses me off even more. Like, so you don't, why do you have a race director if the race director has to rely on the series vice president and whoever else to call the cautions? Like, why does the situation matter when you throw a caution? It's a fucking caution flag. it's a safety device, not an entertainment device.

Like, this is ridiculous. Why are you, he has to, he has the ability to throw the caution immediately if he wants to, but if it's a race altering situation, he has to talk to somebody else? No, that's not the way this fucking works. Like, I don't get it. Like, it's either a caution or it's not a caution. It's not a caution because this guy's leading or we're in the middle of a pit cycle. It's a caution or it's not a caution.

And we just want consistency. As spotters, like Brett said, we have no, idea when they're going to throw the yellow and when they're not going to throw the yellow. Chris Bisher was out there and he wrecked. And I said, all right, watch 17. He doesn't have a right rear tire. Where do you think that tires at?

That's what I said to the brother. I know. And it killed us. It was going down the front stretch. So then we clear him. And we're driving off now 10 seconds later into one. And Haley keys up. He's like, what in the fuck are they doing up there?

And I'm like, they don't see this tire rolling out of the front stretch at the rest of the world's seats. And bless their hearts, right? I know race control is difficult, but at the end of the day, I am with you on this one, Freddie. You can't have time to have a committee caution. Like, what is the key?

If I slap you on this shoulder, I slap you on that shoulder. You throw it if you hadn't already thrown it. Like, we don't have time for all that. We had, you look at Saturday, I think it was a 31, but I could be wrong.

The 31 spins out off a two and is sitting broadside in the middle of the racetrack. Wow, for seconds. For half a lap, it seemed like. And I don't know if anybody didn't see it. If they were sitting there waiting on them to get going what they were doing there. The turn two

spotter official, I heard them call it in two times and they just, you know, they don't explain nothing. They're not like, hey, by the way, there's a car sitting over and turn two sideways. They just, this turn two guy goes, turn two. Yeah, look here. Turn two. Like, look over here and I look over there and there's literally a car sitting sideways in the middle of race track. It was. And we ran

a half a lap before the deal with the yellow flag. The leaders were running to one, I think, when they threw the yellow. They were because we were probably 12th or 13th and I'm like, look, I got one sitting on the track off of two. Maybe they were having a meeting. Keep digging. Keep going. keep going until I tell you, I'm probably going to be a caution. Maybe they saw them and they turned around. They were talking about it, like discussing, hey, she think we should, what do you think

about that one over there? Like, I don't get it. You have a race director. I don't, I can't, I'm wrong, but I cannot imagine David Hoots back in the day was turning around and asking somebody if he should throw the yellow flag. Like, I don't get it. I don't understand. I'm not playing devil's advocate because I completely understand your point.

And I know some of the people who make, this is going to be good. Who make those decisions. This will be record breaking. All I'm saying, well, because I'm friends with a lot of those people. So, you know, I have to watch me. I like all of them. I do think. When's the last time you went to dinner with any of them?

I do think that they listen to the show and they hear you guys complaining about calls that are cautions and not cautions. And so they're trying to come up with a strategy. Not saying it's right, but they're at least doing something rather than hearing you guys talk about the fact that they called a caution when they shouldn't have called a caution. Well, the strategy is not, let's have a meeting about it. I'm not saying. I'm not saying the strategy is right. I am just explaining the fact. that like I understand that they're trying to do their best and they're probably going to change it again and they're probably listening to the show and Brett I know what you're thinking in your head.

I'm just saying that they listen and I just wonder. They are at least trying to make a change and they are probably going to change it again. I just wonder which one of the people after they listen to this show is going to have to go to the bathroom. We got all lipstick off their ass that you're putting on there. Fuck you. Spot on, spot off. Kyle Bush says I want to remind everyone.

These are the biggest pieces of in fucking traffic when he caught but couldn't pass Elliot late in the race. I am spot off because you drove from the back to the front and had a... From dead last. Yeah. Started dead last. You passed a lot of cars. I would like to invite you into our world at times and see what you...

I mean, Kyle's had one of the best cars. His entire career. The guy has never driven a piece of shit in his entire life. He did, but then he got, no, the exfitting car that he had. Still. Still, he's one of the best there is out there. He finds his way to the front. I realize you're mad because you...

You're doing a good job, Jason. He didn't win, but, you know, it's... You still put on a hell of a show from the back to the front, so. I think that the best personality in our sport and for our sport is Kyle Bush. Yeah. He's one of the best friends. race car drivers. You just said it. He's one of the best guys to give you good quotes. He's one of the best guys that's going to tell you what he thinks. Dude, Walrode-Lest. At that moment in time, he thought his

car was the biggest piece of fucking shit out there. So I'll give him props for telling everybody that. I mean, the thing is what is said over the radio, and I've gotten in trouble and called to all for this, too, but like what is set over the radio, we're in the middle of a game, people. We're in the middle of a competition, and we don't always have the ability to stop and think, oh, what I'm about to say, a bunch of people are going to listen and a bunch of people are going to tweet it and a bunch of people are going to want to talk about it. That is the privilege of being a NASCAR fan, is you get to hear what's inside of the huddle. You get to hear what's being said after the play's called.

You get access to freaking everything that the driver is going to say, and the spotter and the crew chief to each other. And so I think, like, people just need to be thankful for that. We're going to talk about that here in a second. People truly need to be thankful for that, though. Yeah, we don't get to, you know, NFL players aren't miced up live so you can hear them. I wish they were.

I mean, some of them are, but I mean. But what you say are, we can't, we can't pay. We can't pay to hear it at that point in time or go to there and put a headset on. And I want to listen to, you know, I want to listen to Wes Welker, light up Bernard Pollard the whole time. You know, you can do that. So I just don't think that we should ever catch any criticism from anybody

unless it's our boss on our team for what we say over our radio. Because my radio is provided to me to do a job and a service to my team. I don't give it who's listening. I don't give it to anybody listening. For all I care, none of y'all can listen. It don't change my job. So like people what they hear over the radio,

they should either clap about it, laugh about it, Or if you don't like it, turn the radio off. It is freaking one of the coolest things about our sports. So I think Kyle Bush, I'm spot on for what he said. I'm spot on for everything Kyle Bush is doing right now other than when we heard his film. He's just being Kyle. That's just Kyle being Kyle, which is great. It is.

So, yeah. Freddie? I just earlier said that he's never driven a piece of shit in his life. And we talked about earlier. It was just a product of the damn sun going down and the nine getting faster. Like, how many times? I bet he passed a nine two or three times. during the race.

I mean, his car drove to the front and drove off. Your car was... You were dominating the race. Your car was not bad. Yeah. It wasn't... I mean, look, that's the thing

about rain delays. It's not the first time something like this has happened where the tracks cooled off and other cars become good. Cowbush is a free agent, right? There's two or three teams looking at him.

Is he still? I guess. Is he? Because I thought that they were getting close. I mean, close isn't signed. I think they were close a few months ago.

I'm going to say. Yeah. I just, I just, now that they've re-signed Martin, does that mean, like, are there- There's a T and Martin.

Martin. How do you say that? Martin? Don't mess with me today. Oh, oh, wow. We just get going. Honest God, though,

like if you're Cal Bush and you're looking at all these offers on your table, right? Let's, let's just say one of them is Stuart Haas racing. Allegedly. Well, you're not going to get

in a four car, most likely. That's Kevin Harvix. So are you going to go getting the 41 or the 10 if you're accomplished and you're complaining about it?

how bad your car is. You're already complaining about how bad the 18 is. Well, you see what the 41 does every week. Yeah. Like, you want to go get in that car? Like, okay, you don't want to go there. Where are you going to go? I mean, maybe he wants to drive one of them track house cars.

So they're going to add a car. They're going to have three charters. I mean, I mean, who else you're going to get? I don't know. What team would excite Kyle Bush right now to leave? He'll get him chasing for him. He can't. There's nobody in the world I think he would leave Joe.

Like, if he voluntarily, like, had a deal with Joe Gibbs and anywhere else, there's no way you leave Joe Gibbs racing. I mean, that just means you're also leaving Toyota and look at everything Toyota does. Other manufacturers have money. I mean, I agree, but... They have a lot of money. They spend a lot of money.

Well, talk about being completely transparent. Moving on to the next topic. Spot on, spot off. Bubba Wallace says to crew chief, booty barker, leave me the fuck alone, dude. Don't talk to me the whole fucking race after having to tighten a loose wheel. Freddie.

Listen, this wasn't directed at Booty. I mean, it was said to Booty, but this was just frustration boiling over. This year has been whatever can go wrong. There's only two people that talk to Bubba. It's real wrong. So who is it directed to? This is directed to the entire team.

This is directed to the pit crew. This is shut the fuck up. I don't want to talk anymore. It's just a direct statement, blanket statement to everybody. booty because there's only two people to talk to him. Whoever the f*** is. I don't know, but listen, I don't blame him. You know, this is

shut up. When's the last time you heard a front tire change or key up and be like, what's up, Baba? Car high. I just kidding. I almost got choked. I mean, I don't know what anybody expected him to say at this point in the night. He's just mad. Like, he's just

irate, not mad. Not mad. Mad's not even the word anymore. It's just, it's, it's, it's ridiculous at this point. I don't even know what to say anymore. Like I don't even know what to say to them. Like in the 12, 13 years that I've been working with them, I could usually kind of skit something like to kind of get them back off the ledge

and been back and I don't, I'm speechless at this point. Like I don't know what to say. Being on the team, have you heard of any conversations, any potential changes or things that they're trying to do the. No, I'm sure they're working behind the scenes to get the best available guys in the best positions for us. But, you know, it is what it is. It's, and it's probably,

I'd have to go back in camp, but we're probably on our seventh or eighth tire falling off or loose wheel of the season. Where do your pit crews come from? JGR. Who do you think's going to get better pit crews? JGR or 23-11? Obviously, J-G-R.

You know, it's, we're, you know, we're essentially the, if I had to guess, we are having, we're the sixth Toyota team. So we probably have the sixth pick crew. Which is still talented guys. Oh yeah. It's not bad. There's nothing wrong. It's just, you know, it's, it's experienced guys. You know, it's experience. It's not talent. It's experience. And the guys I would assume on our team are less experienced than some of the guys on the four JGR cars. And it's it shows. It shows, you know, and it's, it's unfortunate. And we talked about,

you know, this is not new. Loose wheels are not new. But the problem, the penalty for a loose wheel is much more substantial than it has been in the past. So, you know, if you had a loose wheel in the past, we would leave pit road. We'd run 10 laps, come down pit road. and have, oh, you got to come in, tighten the wheel up, whatever. But, you know, it's just, you know, it's not many. So now they fall off. So this is your seventh or eighth loose wheel. That's almost an entire season off for the crew chief.

Yeah, I mean, luckily only one of them is falling off. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. But, you know, it's, but we've had to pit or come back to pit road or been under green. And I don't even know how Bubba can tell because a lot of, it doesn't seem like most of guys, like they lose the wheel. He's probably got to feel for it. He's probably got, unfortunately, he's got a lot of experience. and he's got a feel for it. But, you know, like I've seen a lot of people, you know, he had two comments yesterday

on the radio. And listen, we talked about this. You weren't here last week. I think it was Harvick. That was, was, was, was missing John Hunter. Guys handle things differently. You know, some guys will, you know, try to rally the troops. Some guys will just Harvick wanted to fire.

What do you call him a bunch of wankers or something a couple weeks ago. So, listen, guys do things differently? Do I agree with, you know, MF and the guy? and telling everybody shut the hell up, no. But that's kind of the way Bubba's been his whole career. Like he expects, if I hold him to a certain standard, he's going to hold me to a certain standard. And, you know, listen, you come off and off week.

You come to practice, you're hauling ass. It's hot. It's hot as it. But, I mean, like, he was all, he was, like, leading up to the week, I could tell leading up to Sonoma, he was just ready. He, like, he needed an off week to kind of reset and get his mind back where it needed to be.

And we got through Sonoma, blew up. you know, that was it, whatever, it is what it is. Come back the first race. Vacation early. First race and, you know, you come out of the gates, you're hauling ass, fast car and practice. He's upbeat. Best mindset I've seen from all year going into the race.

He screws up and qualifying. He gets loose, almost wrecks, qualifies 30th. Drive. Watched it. Drives right to seventh place in the first stage, finish the seventh, so we know the car is just as good as it was on Friday. And we come down pit road and now we're back in the pack again. later in the race we get caught by a caution we're running we drive back to ninth after the wheel

it's about to fall off get a caught pit under green and the caution falls right after we pit and we get trapped the lap down back to 23rd so listen i mean you can say what you want about the kid and and how he acts and how he talks to the guys but at this point i don't really blame him anymore he's no worse than some others if your pit crew can't execute in this day and age you're screwed you have no shot you have there's no shot and and i'm on a team i mean i'm i'm i'm i'm I'll talk about my team. We've had two wheels fall off. Crew Chief's been gone for eight weeks.

His first week back was yesterday, and we had another loose wheel. And it was going to potentially fall off. And we stopped on pit road, and that was a disaster. You can't just scream stop when you can't see your car and know what's going on around you, but we stop on pit road.

And then it's like, well, what are you going to do now? Like, you still got to come back to the, it's going to fall off before you get back to the pit box. But if you do not have a pit crew that can execute eight to 12, could stops a race, you're not going to win. And I don't know why any of us would ever pitch short on a green flag cycle when we're not running in the top three or four and could maintain the lead lap after a pit cycle

because it seems like every green flag pit cycle, a wheel is going to go rolling around the racetrack. Yeah. There's been a lot of cautions this year. But you know, you don't want to really be spot on for hearing that stuff, but there's been worse said. and then he's not the only driver to ever lose, you know, get frustrated during the race.

This is where composure is important. Mental fortitude is important. He drove a good race. And he's got to just, yeah, he's got to be the leader here. He's got to keep it together. I mean, the thing is, you have super fast cars with those things.

You should be winning polls and winning races. And he's not. And I get the frustration, but doing this is not going to help your race team. It just hurts even worse when you have such a good car and you're, you know, you have a fast car and then it happens. these things always seem to happen.

Like Sonoma, we got a bit by a caution from, guess what? A wheel falling off. Sonoma is one of the places where you don't want to pit early. Or, you know, you don't want to pit late because you got to be ahead of the cycle. Absolutely. So we were on the other side of it there. But, yeah, I don't know.

I mean. I think people forget these guys are in there by themselves. They got their helmet on. They're hot. They're working their tail off. I have stood in the pit box on the PR side of the store. sport 20 plus years ago. And when the driver loses his mind like this, the morale of that pit box, it's like you

stick a freaking pin and a blimp. And a blimp just goes flying out of the air and it crashes to the ground. Like it just completely destroys the synergy of the team. So it's, it's, look, it's tough. You've got to be mature in those situations. And there are guys like Jimmy Johnson that always are. And there are guys like Kyle Bush that really never are. So what I think, like when you said in the pit box area, what it's like, you know, you got a

lot of fans at home that now have access through their phones and they're they're tuned in you know if they're it gets to be a late race and they feel like you got to keep you got to be the leader like you said you got to keep keep that person sitting there keep your people engaged because honestly I know you know he he I thought Bubba drove a great race I thought he passed a lot of cars I thought he made a lot of good moves and and put himself in a good spot many times so it's just it's so much different in our sport because if you're the quarterback, you say it in the huddle, nobody gets offended. And if you're the coach of the baseball and you go out to the mound, you bring the infield in and talk to everybody, nobody gets offended and butt hurt. But in our sport, I'm telling you,

that whole pit box gets butt hurt. Yeah. And the thing to remember is like, you know, this is not a solitary incident. You know what I mean? This ain't the first time it's happened. And I think that plays, you know, if this is just a random, we're having a decent year and they randomly leave a wheel loose, you don't get this reaction. But I mean, I mean, we, we are probably in a position to have seven to eight top tens this year and mistakes on pit road or, or, you know, bad calls by us at Charlotte by getting them put out of the race. You know, stuff like that just piles up to where you're, you finally just reached your breaking point. You know, I've never, like I said, I've been with Bubba forever. The 13 years now, whatever it is, never in my life have I heard him talk to anybody on the radio the way he talked last night.

And it's just, that's it. Like I'm back, you know, I'm back. I'm in this right spread of mine. We're going to attack the second half of the year. My car is hauling ass. And the wind just gets taken out of your sales all over again twice, you know. And it's just like, holy shit, what do I have to do, you know, to get a break in this deal? And it's coming.

You know, we have enough speed that we're going to be fine. It's just, you know, you got to stick it out. But like, it's just frustrating to see all the people try to jump on them when it's like, you know, being part of it, I know that this is not, this is uncommon for Bubba. He's not, this is not normal Bubba. It's just him finally reaching a breaking point of, I've had enough of this. You left Pitt Road at practice on Friday, and you passed four cars in the first five laps. And I'm not talking about going three-watt. I'm talking about these cars are 10, 12 car links apart, gap like we normally are.

And good cars. Yes. One of them was Denny Hamlin, who, oh, by the way, sat on the pole and had a chance to win the race yesterday. Like, your cars have been the fastest for Bubba Wallace. He's ever driven in his career, so the frustration's got to be high. but man you got to pick it up today and be a leader and put the team back together because you guys can still win a race before this playoff no easily i mean we have the speed it's just putting it together but like you said it's putting it together it's a lot of putting it together it's 10 12 pit stops whatever it's going to be and it's you know it's just not right right now but hopefully we get it straightened out well switching gears according to adam stern NASCAR is getting closer to announcing a street race in chicago for next year's and is willing to drop a current road course. Rhode America does not have a deal for 2023 yet, which is interesting.

Spot on, spot off, TJ. You know, I don't want to add another road course to schedule. I don't think at this point, but replacing one maybe. I've always kind of wanted to see a street course, but I don't know. I was more thinking like a Long Beach or something like that. But who knows, Chicago could be, I like Chicago. It's a great city.

So, I don't know. Which road course would you drop? That's, I'm just, I'm not, I haven't been a big fan of the Coda track, but. I don't see that living. It's not, it's not a popular opinion by any means. I don't think in this sport, but I think the track to drop is Road America. I know, I know Brett's one of Brett's favorite places to go, one of Brett's favorite race tracks, but.

Especially July 4th weekend. Yeah, July 4th. fourth weekend. But listen, the place is what? I don't know, it's with 57 miles long or something like that.

It feels like, um, as a, from a spotter standpoint, we're all spotters. We, that's the place we do the least amount of spotting.

We spot what, two corners. We're not going to do any more in a street course. Well, you don't know. You don't know what it's going to be laid out like. Well, how are you going to see more corners than that?

You're not going to see more than one or two corners. Well, you don't know. You can stand on top of the Sears Point Tower and you won't see any race in Chicago. Okay. well, I'm just telling you, I do two corners.

That's the least amount of work I do. You have a caution flag at Road America. It takes three days to make a lap around that place. I do agree with, you know, I listened to Dale last week, and he talked a little bit about this, and that was one of the points he made about, you know, and it's true. We've got it on here before.

If they have a caution flag at Road America, it's a 10, 15 minute caution flag at least. Ridiculous. At least. And that's too long. For TV, that's too long for anything. And if we're going to go in the route of a, Street course. Dale brought up a great point of make it. You can make it. It's a street course.

You can make it whatever the hell you want. It doesn't have to be a 25 turn road course. It can be a three-turn short track road course. You know, something that's not super technical that can be really exciting for the fans. And that's what I'm talking about. You can be in a position where you can see a majority of the racetrack if it's a shorter street course that provides more action than a track that's literally how long is Road America? Four miles, something like that over four miles. Yeah. You know, so I don't know. If you're getting rid of, I don't not, by no means, do I want to add an eighth road course to the schedule.

Dear God, please don't let that happen. But I'd be okay with Rhode America going away. I'd be okay with Indianapolis Motor Speedway going away, even though it's probably one of the nicest facilities we go to. It's just not a place I think NASCAR really lends itself to. But yeah, I don't know where else you'd get rid of. I am on the fence with this because I agree with everything you guys are. understand, but as a traditionalist, there are two weekends in my mind that are important on the calendar, and it's where do we race July 4th, and it was always Daytona, and the story around that,

to me, was special, and Labor Day weekend was always Darlington. We screwed up, and we moved Darlington to Fontana, and that ended up coming back to Darlington, right? So when I look at us moving that July 4th race, wherever it was going to land, to me, needed to be iconic, and it needed to be something that we're selling a story of. And when I go to Road America this weekend and there's 100,000 plus fans there, we hear people b-hipping and whining about attendance. I think it's like 200,000. You won't have an attendance problem this weekend.

And I'm a huge fan of us racing in various parts of the country from a geographic perspective. And again, it goes back to me of some of these racetracks that have two dates, don't need them. Pull off. You guys say don't add another road course. Well, man, I would much rather go to another road course. course, and I would go back and watch that Richmond race. Like, that Richmond race was boring and it sucked. So I want to see, if we're going to do it great, man, Chicago is a massive market.

Would you have it on July 4th weekend, though? I mean, there's more shootings in Chicago on a Saturday than any city in America. Is that where you want to support July 4th? Or? I'm sorry, I don't. I mean, like, I hate to be anti-Chicago because I like downtown Chicago. I like certain part where Gibson Steakhouse is at. I love that area.

But man, when you get over there by where the White Sox, White Sox play baseball, it's freaking dangerous. I used to live there. Or how hot it is on July 4th, where Rhode America is much more trees. It's just, it's more of an environment that's conducive to July 4th. The weird thing about our sport is we'll have a racetrack close to a city. And we don't get a lot of support from an attendance standpoint. But if we build a racetrack in the middle of nowhere, like Watkins Glen, like Road America,

man, people come by the droves and spend all weekend out there. So I'm not anti-road street course, but I kind of am because if it's anything like any street course I've ever seen, you can't pass. It's going to be very difficult to pass, and that's what our sports build around. So I'm on the fence. I personally think if you're going to take a road course off, take the roval off because it's already running to track the scada and Oval, and that's where he should be now anyway. We literally created a roval because racing on the other. oval sucked. Well, racing at Charlotte's past time was pretty dang good. So put it back on the oval and figure out the calendar and add it that way. Why can't we put that cut through

in America? You can make these caution shorter at all these race trail. Like, you know, you go to the bottom of the hill there. I don't think you, I don't think that you can compromise a distance of the race. Can you, can you take the pace car and speed it up 40 miles an hour? That you could do. I mean, that's what I think you have to run. I think. I think, you have to run the full race track. You have to run the advertised distance. You have to run the race track. But you can speed the pace car.

I get what you're saying. So we'll get a text from Kip in a few hours. We want Kip with all ass. I don't like I, you're not running the full distance under green though. Like what's the difference if you're cutting off part of the yellow? You're still running the full distance. But there's no racing.

It doesn't matter. You're running. You're advertised distance of the race. If you cut two miles off for five laps, that's, you know, now you've got 10 miles less. You're cutting off, you're knocking. I think you have to run the... Two yellows is there almost 30 minutes worth of time.

Speed the pace car up. Do the same thing. I just cut the track off. You're not racing anyway. I mean, look, there's beautiful road courses all across this country. VIR in Danville, Virginia is freaking gorgeous. Like, if we're going to have a floating road course, I'm not going to be against that, but I'm against getting a fan base excited.

And what is exciting? It's 150, 200,000 people coming out. Why would you not go back to where you? you're getting support because you're not getting that many people at very many tracks anywhere. Who? How many people are Sonoma? Let me ask you this,

because this is probably what the entire decision comes down to. Who owns Rhode America? Like who? It's an independent. It's an independent track. So there's no SMI. There's no NASCAR in law. There's probably your answer.

So I realize that. But at the end of the day, like I said, you got hundreds of thousands of people. I don't disagree with you. I'm talking just on a racing standpoint. Financially. That's one of my least favorite places to go. I mean, the area is beautiful. Everything's with the fan base was amazing there last year,

but I think the race is good there. From a spotting's perspective, I just, spotting is definitely difficult there, but I like tracks that actually wear out. And that's one of the places that I think you, that you can, you can have comers and goers by guys and how to take care of their stuff,

just like Sonoma. I think Sonoma's in the same ballpark there. You see guys that, that fade pretty hard after 50s, 15 lap 12 15 laps and you got guys that can move forward so and I think if you can get into a run like that that road America brings that same type to the table that just sucks that you could put three sonomas in that track what if that road courses you all spotted from that dangling the thing on the crane that was at the pj a golf event where they're eating food but y'all are

standing up a floating platform in the air somebody I think Kazim tweeted that to us I think that's a good idea yeah I'm out yeah I don't like I hate height like climbing. I had a buddy of my Chris Trader was with me this week and he's like, I don't like heights. I'm going on the roof. I was like to be honest with you. I don't like heights either.

But like you're standing on a roof. It's not like I can stand on the roof and look over the side all day long. But if you ask me to go up five rungs on a ladder, I'm going to be. Or one of them scissors lifts. If you get way up there, I want to be up there. No, I don't want to be up there. I'm out.

No. Breaking new spotters are afraid of heights. Yeah. Don't tell anybody. Doorbub, Clear fans. We want to give you five reasons why racing USA. is our favorite store for NASCAR merchandise.

will be on my bad side. His cars held together with Doug Tave and Home. Reaction Feeter starts now. Five minutes into the NBC broadcast, and I can already tell that this is going to be a better half of the year. And I'm going to tell you why. Because I don't have to look at those ugly, trash-ass, god-awful caricatures of the drivers.

It is absolutely hideous, and I'm so glad NBC is not doing that. Who likes those characters? I mean, who decided that deal? But we're riding it. I mean, we're on like year three of those things. Yeah, we're still doing. The NFL does it, and it's like, it doesn't really matter for them.

They can do whatever they want, but it's like, we don't have to do the same thing. This is ridiculous. NBC was a more overall professional broadcasts I felt, and it educated the fans on the, what was happening more so than I have felt like I would be watching Fox. Instead of all these suspensions for a tire coming off the car, why not just park the car for the race?

Tire comes off, you're done. I bet that would sting more than, losing a crew chief that can still be a crew chief that's not out the track I wouldn't say he's not at the track yeah he's probably still there somewhere um well essentially if your wheel falls off

it's very rare anybody really ever comes back from that anyway so you're going to have a bad day but there needs to be a penalty moving forward I still think that a points penalty is an escalating point penalty is the only way to really yeah make this hurt I think you parked the car parked a car. I mean, if you lose a wheel, you're probably wrecked or you probably damage something and you're probably going to run in the last 10 spots of the race anyway. So it's essentially parked itself and then you have no penalty going forward. No, that's not going to work. And sponsors will piss because they're not on track. So you need to have an escalating penalty every time this happens. Well, I guess if your name's Chase Elliott, you get to just ride around with wrecked cars on the track going 25 miles an hour.

I'm sure T.J. loved to see that one. Yeah, anybody else, there had been a caution immediately, but not with Chase. Not surprised, Daskar. You make another goof mistake. I was waiting for that. Do you think if the 18 was leading, they'd throw yellow right there? I don't know. He doesn't want to answer it. Okay, T.J.

I mean, I don't know. It's midnight. It's late. I'm sure network's jumping up and down. Like, I just think there's a lot of variables That the committee had to discuss As, as TJ was sliding And wrecking. Oh, boy. I was creeping around.

You know, at this, there was, there were some moments when the card, I was literally, I was worried about it going back, like, to the track, like, Because it was making some weird, like. He was, he was in the grass at one point, that of action it looked like.

Well, that's because I'm like, the field's coming, make sure you get really low, And the thing, I'm telling you, the thing would go like eight feet to the left. That's because he was trying to spin out, T.J. Oh, no. No. I don't think that's happening there.

It was pretty rough. The sanctioning body has been an absolute joke. And between the 17, losing a will, the will crossing the start finish line, right under the flag stand, the caution not coming out 20 seconds after lost the will, to the dagon six. knocking the wall down and parking on the middle of the back stretch. He drove by. I saw the 17 getting the fence off of four,

and he drove by, and I was like, oh, he doesn't have a right where a wheel. I wonder where it's at. I said, I want the tires. You saw the spark. You saw the spark. I said, oh, there's no wheel. I said, Bubba, there's got to be a tire on the racetrack somewhere.

I don't know where it's at because it was up against the wall on the front stretch. And it was probably hard for the flagman to see it at that point. But we have 47 cameras. We have damn corner spotters everywhere. like somebody should have seen this damn tire running damn 200 miles an hour down the front straightaway. They have every camera angle in the NASCAR

control tower and there was a replay of the tire rolling down the racetrack on the front stretch so it definitely was visible via a camera. It wasn't completely missed. John Hunter, you're a have you afraid of DBC you were supposed to bring

the glasses so Freddie Craft can see what other promises have you broke? I I would hate to wager. You know that you're a if you're afraid of T.J. Majors. Jesus. I don't think he's afraid of me.

He's afraid of Freddy. That guy sounds like a folklore. Poet. Oh, boy. Well, you know, it came back to bite him because we talk about, you know, come on DBC and you win. He was in position to win Knoxville that weekend,

and he didn't. So that was a direct result of not showing up here. So it's unfortunate for him. but missed opportunity. Who was that guy, Jason? We don't say names. Yeah, I don't know. A guy can go screw himself too.

Why, he said he's afraid of you. On that note, to leave an audio message 24-7, you can go to anchor.fm. slash door bubble clear and click the message icon.

Does your family decorate your home for holidays like the 4th of July? Ready? No. No. The only, Megan put some stuff out. I don't know. what the hell she's got going on. There's usually some fall stuff around the house when fall rolls

around maybe Thanksgiving time. She'll put some stuff out Christmas, but there's no, there's no Fourth of July decorations at my house. I mean, not that I don't want them. That's her department. Freddie hates America. I hate America. That could be a whole other discussion this week. But yeah, no, there's no, she's in charge of the decorations and she does whatever the hell she wants. And I'm good with it. I have a funny decoration story. So there's a, our mantle, Megan bought these giant letters. And it's a F and an M. And every time Brett comes to my house, he takes the little N sign down and Shane moves the M to the other side of the F. So my, and it takes Megan two days to realize that my mantle says MF. That's pretty good. That's good.

I am a huge July 4th fan. I grew up, Myrtle Beach, Ocean Lakes, doing. all the things. Cut off short, sleeveless tops. Absolutely. So we decorate our house. We decorate our golf card. We even decorate our dogs. You put lights on your golf cart?

There is a July 4th dog parade in my neighborhood this year. Are you serious? It's on July 3rd, which is idiotic. But nonetheless, yes, we'll take some pictures. And I will say this about your dogs. Be very conscious of how hot it is outside. If you're walking your dog on the freaking asphalt or sidewalk, realize that their feet may be burning and get them in the grass

because I saw an idiot on Twitter with his German Shepherd literally dancing because the feet were so freaking hot. People are so stupid. I don't know why some of these people are allowed to reproduce. But anyway, yes, we decorate everything for July 4th.

It's an amazing holiday and I can't wait. I don't think they reproduce dogs. I just guessing. I don't know. I mean, it's possible. I guess anything. Everything's possible. DJ.

Christmas, Easter a little bit. Fall maybe. nothing more substantial. I have an American flag outside my house all the time. So I always think that's a good gesture. We do have it. We have a mission flown American flag for Megan's cousin. That's a, I don't know if I'm a lot to say where he's at.

But he sent us a mission flown flags. We have that in our house all the time. But I'm back to love in America. Okay, good. Jason, are you having a... We had a... Do we have a mission? Where's our flag?

Oh, it's over there? Displayed on the case. I forget who gave that to us. but I remember that. Actually, that was in Nashville. Last year, I think I got that. Go get a cash offer on your home today with our presenting sponsor, Offerpad.com.

Are you having a 4th of July America Party? Beach. You're going to the beach? Which beach? You go to Suck Bang Blow while you were in Merle's Island last week? Oh, what's that? You've never been to Suck Bang Blow?

What? You were in Merle's Inlet, right? I've never heard of a place. Let me ask you a question. What about Jason tells you that he has ever been to Suck Bang Blow? Is that a name of a place? Yes, it's a bar.

Jason, now you got to at least know what to his. Okay, well, tell me where are you at Merle-Zan-Ler because I don't want to go there. We just went to dinner and then. Do you have liked a little walk by the crink? He watched DBC. Yeah, DBC was on at a bar outside in Merle's inland. I was like, wow. If you ever got a camera on yourself, you could have like point yourself out to everybody.

I know. I was like, I don't think I'm going to be on camera, but like, you know, this is my show. Hey, guys, that's on camera last week. You could have just done a selfie. I was trying to show off. And I never came out. Wasn't that a game? Suck bang blah?

Yeah. I've been a fun game if it was. I don't, I'm not sure what the rules would be there, but I'm not sure I want to know. I don't want to play with you two idiots, but I do want to play. Well. Every time, it's a Billy O that went there all the time, right? I think it was. It's big during bike week.

Yeah. But it's still a cool bar anytime. You would fit right in, Jason. I've got a tattoo now. I'm edgy. Oh my. gosh. Jesus.

Look at my tattoo on my white claw guys. Hey, now you can't, listen, I've got photographic evidence. You can't talk shit about no celtzers anymore. I drink everything. That's true. I don't care. We got downstairs that night and there was just a smorgasbord of anything you could think of the drink. People were dropping off bottles of flavored vodka.

I don't know what the hell we drank that night. But yeah, I've seen bread drinking it truly and I just wanted to take a picture for Jason. We need some more bourbon. bourbon we haven't had any we don't need I promise you we don't need any more bourbon we haven't had any good we'd like some more bourbon yeah we do not need any more the stuff that I've taken home that people say like yeah actually kind of fun

we put that bucket of fireball that nicely's race league sent me last week that we put that to good use how do you how can someone say you don't like fireball you don't like it yeah I mean listen I'm getting to the point where I don't like it so I mean I'm gonna have to I gotta put I gotta put a statement out here for DBC fans when I run into you a bar if you want to buy me a shot please not not fireball because that's all it shows up every time now we're right here you can just keep fireball coming from me I'm fine I mean I mean I don't know what to get but my goodness

my sister Jesus destroys fireball like I she's in fireball addict now I uh I came home last night and I said I was gonna take a shot out of a shot glass and there was no fire ball we had. And I just gave you like 10 mini bottles. She drank them all. I had to pour freaking out of tequila. Yeah, but I was gone for five or six days. She goes out of garage.

She starts working and she hits her a fireball. Fireball is the key to those. We hung out last night. Moments. I'm telling you last time I was like. I got to hear more about this story after the show. I can't wait. Last time I had four, I think it was four, I don't, it was four or five.

And it was all Regan Smith's fall. I don't know to name names, but, um, Regan Smith, let me put this out there. For anybody that doesn't know, Regan Smith is, I'm sorry, Jason, is the biggest on the planet. Because what Regan Smith does, and it's genius move, and I wish I had thought about it, but what Regan does is he does not, you don't do a shot with Regan. He, when he's like, all right, guys, I'm going to take off. I'll see you later. And then he, before, as he catches out his tab, he goes and says, bring them guys 10 shots of something. And the shots show up and he's already gone. And you're like, what, that son of a bitch, you did it again. Like, so,

That's not what he did to me that night. That night, yeah, he just probably hammered down. Yeah, I ended up on a piano. The first time I ever had Fireball, we were at STK in Las Vegas, and we were in one of those back rooms. And suck my and bucks. This is a difference. Are you getting a few stories mixed up?

There was about 15 of us around this table, and two bottles of Fireball showed up. Bottles. I'm talking about big bottles. And I was like, what is that? Because I'd never heard a Fireball at the time. And we proceeded to pass the bottles around the table. table until they were empty. And I was like, this is awful. Like this, we're going to, we're going to die.

We eat an amazing dinner. We get finished. And guess what shows up? Two more bottles of fireball. Heck yeah. I threw up for two days. I was sick as a dog for two days. They leave my room in Vegas for two days. But after that, I'm immune to it. I'm good. We celebrated a Cinco de Mayo with a certain driver. Well, this driver, believe it or not, the driver that we celebrated with, was the same one. Was the same one I was with in Vegas when I got introduced to it. Jesus. Yeah. Austin and Denny were like,

Fireball, fireball. It's rough on you if you have too much. So if Denny ever comes on DBC, we can get about a fireball and pass it around. He's supposed to. Yeah. Yeah. We got to get him signed up.

Be great, man. Future Hall of Fame. That's right. Go ahead and just block off that Thursday for a trip to him. I want to put him right beside a T. That's what I want to do. No, he'll be right next, TJ. Yeah.

They could share a stool if he'll. I'll share a headset even. well neither both of our heads are too big for that so Dennis can sit right next to me Denny Dennis you see his new commercial Danny I don't know he's bust like I forget what the hell commercials even for but he's he's what you call him up to fix your electronics and he just throws him out the window and beats him all to hell

I don't even know what he does I think I drew the line of the commercials when he was washing a car with no shirt on so remember that nice PJs Danny yeah So when I told you whenever we bought our first late model trailer, he met, we bought it from, might have been his, his place, his family's place up there. And he comes out to meet me. And he's got his work shirt on and it says, Dennis. And I'm like, Dennis. And he's like, yeah, he just turned his head and like, but yeah. Old school story. Oh, yeah.

Well, it's time for us to get to our favorite X-Finity X-Fi more than fast moments. from the week, whether you're behind the wheel or online speed isn't the only thing you need. So what were your favorite more than fast moments this week? Starting with Brett. My Xfinity X-5 more than fast moment goes to Bubba Wallace because I've never seen anybody stopped faster than he stopped when he was told to stop. He stopped so fast he got hit in ass by old Tyler Reddick. So congratulations on, I guess, being fast at stopping.

Freddie. I'll give my Xfinity X-5 more than fast moment to one of my buddies, old Ryan Preece, jumps back in the truck randomly for, I don't know, the second or third time this year goes out and wins a race. I think he's got two wins and eight starts now. You know, this is what he does.

He gets in good stuff and runs good in it. I think he's doing a better job promoting himself this year, running well in all these Xfinity and truck races versus running mid to back of the pack and the cup race in the 47 car, 37, whatever when he was driving. But yeah, I think he's having a, this is a, maybe a career-changing year for him. TJ.

Yeah, I'll go my X-Finity X-5, more than fast moment. I'm going to get with Justin Olegire. He was just dominating on Saturday. And typical Justin at a concrete track like Doverish,

dominated, kind of maybe made up for Dover a little bit, which I'm still a little salty at. We'll never make up for that. That's true. That's a great point, man. Like, when you look at JRM right now, I think they've got the best car

and Exfinity Series. Their cars are turning unbelievably well through the corner. I agree. Obviously, winning a lot of races. I personally thought when Dave Ellen's left to go cup racing with Eric Jones, it would be a huge get for Eric Jones and a huge loss for our friends down the street of junior motorsports. And to be quite honest with you, bringing in Luke Lambert was obviously a brilliant

move. They're better than they were. They're better than they've been recently. I mean, they've obviously got some championships, a lot of wins to their credit. But I think they're right back top team. and I'm saying a lot against Joe Gibbs Racing who has a lot of resources. Dave's also continued success in my opinion with Eric over there too though. Oh, for sure.

No, I'm not saying. I just thought when Dave walked out the door, they would slip a little bit. And they actually have it. They've actually gone up. I think they started off the year, you know, good, but now they're in, you know, I think the 54 had a little more speed or they were more equal at the beginning of the year. But now I feel like they're the best cars. they've gotten better and better.

So, yeah, they've done a good job. Yeah, I mean, it was cool to see, you know, Josh Perry get wins, right, coming up. I mean, because he's a true short track guy that's made it. He's not a guy that's a grassroots guy. He's not a guy that walked in with a big pocketbook. You know what I mean? Like, he's a guy that's made it.

But, I mean, Sam Mayer, he's fast. I mean, he freaking almost wrecked Ty Gibbs again this week. If he would stop speeding on Pitt Road every week. He's every week. Like, and multiple times a week sometimes. Like at some point, do you not look at yourself and be like that was really dumb of me to throw

all that track position away or maybe he just likes passing everybody I don't know I don't know why you get so grew we talked about greed a minute ago like why are you so greedy on pit road that you're willing to screw yourself over there's a choose cone you're gonna choose the lane you want and go back to work unless you want to pass everybody again like there's been

races where he's had multiple multiple penalties in one race like chill out man I don't even I wouldn't even put his lights I'd I'd be changing his numbers and or lights in the car to match. Like, yeah, okay, you're all green here. And that's like four mile an hour under because he's probably going to still speed.

You know, so. And like you said, we saw the latest installment of Sam Mayer and Ty Gibbs again this week. And I thought Ty got out of the car and handled it much better. Well, he tried to handle it on the racetrack, but missed it. Yeah. Oh, yeah. He tried to right hook him. Oh, 100%.

But I thought when he got out of the car, he took the right, the high road of, you know, they kind of baited him into, you know, oh, the one got in you again. he's like, well, what can I say? You know, I did the same thing to the 39. So, you know, that's, that's, that's maturing for Ty because that is actually correct. You know, yeah, you know, but like there's, it's very easy to go, ah, it's ridiculous. I'm going to get his ass again next time, whatever. But, you know, like, I like Ty.

Sam was a little nicer. A really talented race car driver. And I think I like that little fiery attitude. It's just, yeah, he has that moments of immaturity on the radio or on the racetrack where, you're like, damn, and I wish he didn't do that. But I ran into them guys Saturday night a little bit, him and all. and I was busting their chops about getting run over by Sam again. Is that why your lipstick's on Ty?

No. Yeah. More lipstick. So one thing I noticed too is Sam was a little nicer though because when he hit Ty, he actually hit him again and straightening him back out. Which was, Ty was wrecking. And then Sam hits him again. They hit again.

He straights him back. I mean, it was kind of cool that those guys, I mean, hell of a job driving it. You know, wrecking and then getting hit again and saving it. So very exciting to watch those guys. race, though. Here on Doorbup, are clear being more than fast as a way of life.

I would say he's going to be Xfinity again next year I would think I don't there's nowhere to go unless they get rid of Bell or Kyle Kyle's not leaving but I don't know

Yeah there has to be a legit spot for him to go Yeah I mean the only I think your only options are if there's enough money to bring a third team to 2311 or or Kyle leaves. I don't see them getting rid of Bell now for Ty Gibbs. I think he's already set. I thought

I heard he was already. A driver is going to have to quit or leave for this to probably happen. That's, I mean, obviously, that's, yeah. The press release from Joe Gibbs Racing regarding Martin Truex's return to Joe Gibbs Racing. Marron? He said, I'm coming back. I'm coming back. Like, that is the best press release ever written. That's all he said. I mean, that's all he needed to say. I thought Dale, Dale was talking about. that on there. I've listened to the live show coming home last night and Dale's like, he said that's the most Martin

press release ever. He's like, because he's like, you text Martin all the time and you get one word answers. He's like, if you ask me a question, you get a one word response. He's like, so nothing surprised me about I'm coming back. Is the press release? When you pass Martin the airport, he'll look up. It's up.

Gone. That's it. Yeah. You text Martin. You literally, if you text Martin, hey, you know, during the pandemic, we would run on eye racing with him and stuff quite a bit. Martin, you want to race tonight? Yeah. It's just, that's Martin.

I'm glad for him to come back, though. What an idiot, man. All right, time for what an idiot. And I have a feeling there are quite a few candidates. Casey, you want a start? Yeah, I mean, you signed yourself up for this one. Me? I mean...

You said you had an idiot this week. I did, actually. Whoever decided to steal our golf cart and get drunk and take. get for a joy ride. You left some more lights in the Let me ask you a question. Sorry about that. Who, damn it, Jason. If it was a white claw, you'd be number one suspect. Um, who is the idiot here? Because something tells me they didn't hotwire your golf cart. Well, it, well, first off, the keys are universal. So you can use like any key or as I've learned, you can literally just push it out of neutral. Um, but it was not

me personally driving the cart. It was not my cart personally. It was another team member that I'm not going to call out. Because I think it's genius to steal a golf cart, especially around there. I mean, I have had multiple golf cart stolen, specifically always in Kansas. And I once found it, or multiple times found it in the campgrounds with beer. Somebody had a damn good time. Yeah. Why wouldn't you steal it? You know how to fix this. It's 100 degrees. Hell of why that fix this, right? Thank you because I had to get to the track really early on Sunday and go look for it. You know how to fix this, right?

Just leave the key in it and put an air tag in it. They actually come with locks. Do you ever see those when you rent your golf carts? Again, I was not driving the cart. It was not my cart. An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure. And when I've had my cart stolen, they've used, like, the locks were chopped off. So whatever Bubba said, like, don't talk to me.

There. Anyways. If you cut a lock off a golf cart, you're trying way too hard. That's a just enjoy right around. That's a guy that's wearing a 4x t-shirt. If you think we're getting stolen now, you just wait until we go to Chicago Street race. Oh, whether our other one of the eight candidates.

Chicago makes Oakland look like a freaking... Oh, God, don't compare it to that. That's bad. I've got a good little list here. Oh, that's good. I mean. Please share. I couldn't think of any.

There's a list here. I know the 22 may come up on your list. like. Which one? Truck. He's always, he's permanently on my list. Well,

it's a different guy now. I know. Well, so the 22 would be on my list. I'll just start with him. He's an idiot because he drove through us on the, near the end of the race on the front stretch and didn't even really try to pass. Just drove straight through us.

Haley's actually having a good race. Probably going to finish right around top 10 and just wrecks us straight up. Who's driving this thing? This week it was Max Gutierrez. Yeah. And then after. Yeah. Whoa.

problem with this, you just destroyed a few trucks or whatever, or at least one, the one. And you get out, oh, yeah, everyone's like, hey, good job, man, great, right. I mean, you just, okay. So would it, that there was no. When he turned you, we had a bit, we had this big run on the top of the restart. We're hauling ass to the top. And I'm like, oh, keep going.

Yeah, we, we barely got like, like, we barely got, like, three rows of cars and then there's a car parked in front of us. So, like, but that's total truck racing right there. I mean, there, but then to say, there's no. hey I'm sorry I just misjudge a little bit it's like whoa you lifted okay now you're an idiot but I got to give a

some credit to the the owner I guess Austin two weeks in a row that truck has run it was leading Knoxville and questioned him I wasn't there and it was quite got jumped to the restarted got a penalty and it was fast it was fast I mean Max was doing a great job

He was making pass. He was making tough passes. And most time, you know how aerosensitive that track is. He was making tough passes. Like, he's doing well with it. So good to see them, you know, it running good and, you know, Austin putting somebody in there. And I saw Austin, I think he had a kid, didn't he? He had a kid.

And then he won a modified race somewhere. Oh, really? Yeah. I think he won like a dirt modified or MCA modified or whatever they are. So my other, he did. down the list here. The 91 truck. We are...

Who drives that? That's Colby Howard. Yes. So we are running 16th and the 61 and the 91 and the 91 are behind us about 6-7 car lengths. We're coming to the green checker at the end of the stage one. The 91 barrels it off into three trying to slide job the guy for 17th place and wrecks himself. That is not. not very smart.

That would be my X-Finity X-Fi slow moment of the race. Yeah, that's an idiot. Freddie. Freddy's an idiot. Your truck team. Freddie. You get in all this. Didn't they have?

I don't know what you're talking about. Yeah. Were you not going to make weight or something? I guess they really were worried about it. What happened? I heard they had some improperly mounted. ballast. It wasn't really mounted to anything.

I cannot confirm or deny any of that. Well, not the first time. I think it's you because this is not the first time. This is maybe the second time the same exact penalties happened to one of my teams. The last time one of Freddie's teams got caught with improperly mounted weight, where was it? Remember? I don't remember where it was. Where was it? No, I'm just saying where was the

weight. Oh. I assume in a frame rail. Oh, no. Oh, no. It's in a driver helmet. Did they do that again? It's not the same team. I don't know. I think it's ready. How do you think you're going to hide weight in a driver helmet? That is pretty dumb.

How many do you got? I mean, if I go to the next one, it might not go good. So we're just going to. Is it me? Because you know of our conversation? Casey,

you're just too pretty to be what an idiot. Thank you. Right. Your idiots were exclusive to the truck series. I'll skip ahead quickly to the Xfinity series. Riley Herps, under the first pit stop, drove in on the door of the 18 car

and absolutely cleaned out one of the Joe Gibbs Racing Pickree guys. I saw that. And literally, I mean, once again, we speak about awareness. Like, I was watching this happen live, and I'm thinking to myself, he's going to hit the crew guy because the crew guy is obviously trying to run around the front of the 18 car. You can't be on them tight. Riley is on his door as if they're freaking, he's sidetracking him at Daytona.

I was like, this guy's going to get smoked and he got smoked. But I'll fast forward. And I was, my crew chief is Co. What an idiot. Freddy's crew chief, booty is full-blown. what an idiot because crew chiefs cannot tell drivers what to do and they cannot see the car and do not know the context of which you're racing. When Bubba left pit road allegedly with a loose wheel and booty hollered stop, Bubba stopped,

and now you end up with two problems. You got a loose wheel and a wrecked race car. Well, you got an either. It said stop and it did stop. And you completely totaled, not total, but you definitely screwed up Tyler Reddick's nose. So I just asked that all you crew chiefs, don't tell the driver what to do if you can't see them. I'm all for you helping us out.

But if you don't see what's going on, you can't start barking out orders. And Tyler can barely sit over the wheel. I text you on the day. Typical Tyler, Derek's like he was trying to blame it on himself. He was like, he's like,

oh, he's like, I look down to adjust my breakback to where I had him and I never saw him. And it's like, it's not your fault. The guy stopped in front of you. So when we were on pit road, we did the same thing.

We had left and we went about seven or eight pit boxes and Trent screamed, stop. And I'm like, oh no don't stop because the drivers are looking down at their lights they're looking at their mirrors they're looking at guys pulling out of pit boxes there's a lot of things going on the last thing they expect to see is a car parked in the middle of pit road when everybody else is running 45 miles an hour so i know crew chiefs are awesome very smart guys and want to help but you can't just holler stop you know a real quick story on this you remember daytona probably my first or second year of spotting i think elli was lead to in one of the duels or something and Sterling was running second well there was a wreck and we were coming down

the front stretch and Elliot must saw some debris or something and started slowing down well Sterling wasn't he was looking at his gauges or whatever because this way he told me after he and he ran into Elliot remember that yeah and you know but Elliot saw something and just started checking up and which yeah you're gonna if you see something

you're gonna slow down but like if the guy behind you is just not looking right when you start doing that that's what happens so and I'm pretty sure we wrecked you down to the inside. I didn't look down at my device to no lap times yesterday. I'm telling you, I didn't look down five times. But one of the times I look down, I'm trying to figure out, all right, where do we need to be running?

We're on the backstretch. Like, it shouldn't be nothing going on. The freaking 77 grenades. And I look back up and I'm like, oh, no. And Justin is coming, wide-ass open into three. Everybody else has already seen the smoke. And I'm like, check up. Like, it just when you take your eyes off that racetrack as a driver or a spot,

or bam something happens and you're in trouble. I saw a Ray one a half out. We were running, we were going into three right behind. I was like, run up, run up, run up. And look, I mean, they all did. They, they know. But it's still when you see it, you're like, if you're not looking at it. When you're startled, it's, when you're not looking at it and then you look back up and you see it.

Oh, yeah. Hoosier one idiot. You got me any? Yeah. It's going to take this week off. Well, obviously, I think you have to always, we can beat this horse to death on here. The late start times in the summertime. time is just going to put us in the same position we had yesterday multiple times.

Luckily, that place has lights so we could stay till midnight to finish the race. The JGR pitch strategy there, or kind of any of them guys, but namely the first three or four guys that, you know, pit and didn't get back to the front with the best three cars on the racetrack most of the night. And then maybe me for trying to drive my car back to the Moxie on Saturday night, I literally was a point one mile from my hotel. How long you think it took me to get to my hotel? 28 minutes. It was about 26.

Like, I can see my hotel and I did not move for 26 minutes because I was, I booked too close to Broadway. Like, you can walk home from any bar on Broadway, crawl probably to the moxie, but you do I don't want to drive there ever. But that town was crazy this weekend. Oh, it was nuts. Hands down, crazy crazy. I do wish the racetrack, like obviously Nashville, Nashville had gay pride going on downtown. I really wish the racetrack would have embraced that. did something with it.

Like, because we obviously see more corporations, more sports doing things like that. Like, I would have loved to seeing the track figure out a way to make that fun for our fans that were there for the race because there were a lot of people in town for the race, man. It looks like there's as many cars in the parking lot as there are people when you look off the roof sometimes. But that place was packed yesterday. Dude, you could hear them. Like, you could hear the crowd whenever at certain moments.

Like, when they refired the motors, even when after that delay, you could, you could hear them. Yeah. When Chase took the lead, all four, they went crazy. Thought they're going to tear the grandstands. Sound like old Dale back in the day. Speaking of good races at the end, did you watch the Outlaw race Saturday night? Who, $100,000 pass, boy. I seen Ricky yesterday.

I seen Ricky. I was like, well, that hell of a corner, huh? Like, you see, you probably didn't see it. Ricky's car, Sheldon Hodd and John. He came from not even in the picture in like three laps, blew around the outside of all these guys. He's literally not even in the picture. And taking the white going into one, you don't see him.

There's two cars racing each other on the bottom, and by the time they leave turn two, he's leading. Like just shipped it to the top and $100,000 pass. So, and that's, I mean, that's Sheldon. If you know anything about dirt racing, that's, he's kind of wrecker or checker. And he's fast, man. I think he's probably the closest to,

he's probably second of points if I had to guess. And that's awesome. Trucks are off this week. Trucks are off. Expendi cup and Road America. Yep. July 4th weekend. SRX has a bunch of race cars to repair

to get ready for their third race to the year. I don't think a lot of people realize. You know, the people were like, I've seen some comments. Like, what do you expect your short track racing? You know, you're going to see, yeah, but they got a, they've, one team essentially gets 15 cars ready for next week. You know, it's not like they all go to their individual shops and fix these things.

No, Ryan McKinney and his guys at fear racing, like they're going to be working on the road. I don't, do they, I doubt they come back here. I guess they can come home. But, you know, they tore up so many they might have to. Yeah, here it is. You see that? No, watch this. Look at the gate.

Oh, the gate flew open. Is that Houston's? I think so. It looks like it. T.J.'s got a video up. How about if that's, if that is from this weekend, Houston Speedway is where they ran. That's, I don't know what they called it,

but it was a $100,000 race. That looked to me like it was gravel in the Houston's car. It was gravel. The city's people that own the track, only on that car. Yeah, he does run that fancy. And then he hit the gate. So that's interesting.

Oh, well, I think it should be a great weekend at Rhode America. What can fans expect? How about we talk about the fact You're getting ready to buy us all dinner this year That's why I wanted to kick Skip over DBC picks I suppose we will

Not skip DBC picks TJ congratulations You won this week with Kurt Busch Brett still leads in the standings With five wins Jason and Freddie are second with four TJ third with three And I'm last which I don't know why

I clearly jinx every driver I select let's make picks for Road America. Jason, you are first. AJ Almondinger. Dinger. But you won't make fun of him? I just made fun of him. I will take McDowell.

Ready. Wow. I don't know anybody left. I'll take Austin Cindrick. Right. I don't know. Y'all just keep taking all my drivers. Literally, only three guys I was looking at.

And all three of them are gone. Why not go with the guy who won the last road course that we did? A guy who was faced with pressure. Pressure was knocking on the door and he won it. He opened the door. I'm going to take Daniel Schwarz. E.J. Mori, wear a big ass sombrero if he wins next week.

I think he tries too hard this race and gets caught up in a little something. So I'm going to go with... You were going to pick him if I did. Don't try to make me feel bad now. Shut up. It's in the past. I'm talking about old shit. I am going to go with the guy that dog them the whole race at the end there.

I'm going to go with Chris Busher. Speaking of, oh, who's got a pick? Oh, you guys last pick? Yeah. Speaking of dogs, did you see old jab dog? What do you say? wrecked the dog. He did.

Jason's lists of curse words to think of that was pretty long this week. Why is that? I had a little rated this week. It's like, does anybody, make a shirt of that? I don't know. I know some people that could. Yeah, I mean, I will wreck the dog food out of you. Dog food.

I think Rhode America is going to be fun. You got a lot of guys that have to win, and you still got a lot of guys that need points. There's several wild card races left before we get to the cutoff in Daytona, and we all know Daytona's a freaking wild card. So I expect pressure to be high on a lot of guys this week. 12 winners. It's a lot.

That is a lot. We could see 14 easily. Easily. Easily 14. Well, I mean, easily. You got two plate races essentially coming up. That's 14 right there. And you got Bubba who's fast.

I mean, you could see Fat, I don't think. Truex. Blaney. Truex hadn't won yet. Wow. He's been close, though, this race. Bell, Bell's been fast. Well, Bell had a chance yesterday to win until BJ McLeod screwed him on Pit Road.

And then that was over. We sat through this whole rain delay that takes forever. And then they opened pit road with a quickie yellow. Quickie. So all the freaking cars can pit at the same freaking time, and it creates havoc on pit road. Bell gets caught up in it. And then we still run three or four more laps after that before we get one to go.

So was it avoidable? No, because it was a quick yellow. But anyway. All right. Well, thank you to everyone who came up and said hi at the track this weekend. I am off to Port City for another million-degree race. Do something nice for your team this week. They won.
