Bubble Wallace looking for his second career win. Gregson, coming out of turn number four in the race. Bumper. Welcome to Door Bumper Clear, presented by Offerpad. I'm Brett Griffin. We've got a winning edition of the show today. Thanks, Noah. With special guest, Xfinity race winner, Noah Grexon, and Cup race winner, Brady Craft.

Noah gets out of here. We're trying to do a read. We'll talk to air races, drivers on the bubble, heading to Bristol. Al Bush's next team, and more. Let's kick it. The best in the booth. Stumber the Monday, they tell you the truth. Giving the Finney's and breaking the rules.

Good call to the holler to bring it to you. Casey, you pretty. Freddy, you fat. TJ, you suck. Brett ain't so bad. Jason is pacing how to play in this racing. If someone don't crash and he's going to go mad. Looking for Freddy, he's killing the bottle. Casey is making mess with a taut.

The tweet something stupid then don't even bother. Brett's going block you like TJ is his spot. I see them online though FF in the chat. Tell Rick where to stay off the track. All of the podcast are living in. Fair, this isn't the download. This door bumper clear. Nah, don't get it twisted, baby.

This isn't the download. Nah. This is door bumper. Clear, clear, clear. There you go. I like it. Hey, everybody. I'm T.J. Majors.

It's part of the six cup car, the six-eighths-fina car, and the one pickup truck. Oh, that's good. Brett Griffin. No notes. Spotter Colleg Racing. But this show isn't about me. This show is about winners. I got a winner on my right, winter on my left.

But first, the man of the hour, too sweet to be sour. possibly still buzzed. Did you think about, did you think that up? That's what I thought about that all night. Well, Bubba called me all night. He called me three in the morning. Oh, no, he could not have called you three in the morning. He went to bed at two o'clock.

He just told me. So Freddie Kraft is in the house. Yo, what's up? Freddie Crass, Potter for Bubble Wallace, Landon Castle, and the no driving Derek Krauss. Who's more drunk, Derek on his 21st or you right now? Derek on his 21st was definitely. He blew a motor.

I have not blown him over yet. And he brought his family. I mean, he brings his family out for 21st birthday. Wasn't his grandpa there? No, no, his grandpa called him.

Oh, and he answered. That's right. I'm going to go outside. So, yeah, he was, that was fun.

But what's up, Casey? Hey, guys, I'm not even going to intro myself because I feel like this might be the longest show ever. So I'm going to kick it off to you,

Jason. Hey, Jason Shell's producer at EBC here. I brought Jason, I brought Jason a white claw. I brought, I know Noah doesn't drink beer. He might partake in a seltzer once

in a while. He quit drinking. He's on the wagon. I'm trying to quit. So the man to my right, Noah Gragson, back-to-back winners last two weeks. Gregson. Will you please get that?

It's got an A in it. It doesn't matter. How did you let people call you the wrong name for like five years and then all of a sudden you just decided like, you don't care anymore? What do you say when you've had Darlington? What's the town that you don't speed through? You don't.

Thank you. So before we get into this, wait a minute. What is it called? MacB. I want to know. I want to know what went through your brain when you walked into your house and you saw all those little cups of glitter and balloons. Yeah, so Dave Ellens was my crew chief for the past three years and now he's over with Eric Jones.

So they won Darlington last week in the Southern 500. So I teepied their house. A toilet paper in this guy's house. And then it rained all that. The rain was the issue. The rain was the issue. So they have to have it like professionally power washed and pressure washed. So Dave gave his wife Ashley a budget on what they could spend to get me back.

And it was just north of $300. And like I walked in, I saw a bunch of balloons. And I thought that my two roommates were the ones who did it. The culprits, they weren't. And they weren't. I was like, what is wrong with you guys? You think I'm going to like this? and like, like, thought they did it.

And I'm like, there were jello shot cups with glitter. And they were. A millions of them. Like probably 500. All up the stairs. All down the hallway. I mean, I couldn't even, it was like walking on a landmine. And you're like, tippy towing.

And I was like, they did this to like celebrate. Like I was going to like this maze that I had, I just got done with 300. and 98.5 miles at Kansas, and I'm worn out and tired. And it's Sunday night. And they think I'm going to like this. And then it turns out it wasn't them. And I was like, okay, that's pretty funny.

So there's just glitter everywhere. What they wanted him to do is just trip on one of them and just spill glitter. You still got it on you? Everywhere. Did it work? Yeah, I went to work out this morning. And we were stretching on the yoga mat and there's just glitter everywhere. How long did it take to pick up all those little bit of

glasses. He has not done it yet, I assume. No, I got help. Yeah. You saw the video? I saw the video. Did you? I haven't seen the video.

I think you should tweet the video later, but this is one of the best pranks I've ever seen. Like, you can't imagine, Jason. You walk into Noah's house. Oh, they're spread out. And I thought it was gelo shots. I thought it was jealous shots too because it was dark. I'm like, damn, that's a lot of jello shots.

Oh, that's annoying. Look at this. Oh, my God. If you're not one of those over. Look, all down the stairs. All down the stairs. That's pretty good. I'm impressed that you did not more over.

And then the balloons in the room, they've got glitter in them too, right? Like a quarter of them have glitter. So it's like brushing roulette on if you want to pop them. Some have glitter and most of them don't. How many people did it take to clean that all that? I was still working on it. They're not done yet.

Oh man. Well, look, thanks for coming on. I've been after you for probably a solid year. And you finally made the deal. Yeah. That you'd come on. You got mad at us at one point because you said we were talking about you. They always talk. We all the time. Everyone. You know how many people just this weekend in Kansas came up to me and said, like, can you please tell your guys to stop talking to shit? So I give Noah props for coming on the show so you can talk to his face. Noah asked me one time. He said, when will you stop talking about me? And I said, as soon as you, as soon as you stop doing dumb like it's like biased. It's not even factual.

This is a completely There's no, this is unbiased podcast. That's how we make a living. Bias. Yeah, I don't know. This isn't a factual show,

honestly. But now that you came on we'll be unbiased towards you so you'll be good. You can do a couple of, you can do a couple dumb things. We won't call it out. I like to apologize in advance to Kristen

and you're, and Brandon, your entire team because they all were very mad that you're coming on the show. I think Brandon. is having a panic attack. For the next hour and a half, he's like, oh my God.

And he probably should. We've been rehearsing, like, talking every day for the last two weeks on, all right, if you get a question asked like this, how do you respond? So you don't get put in a bad spot and they don't try to cancel you. What was his advice? Because he has won to talk. He said fireball. Brandon said fireball.

That's all Brandon ever says. I don't know. We were just like, he's like, don't let those three morons bait you into the same. Something. Who was he talking about Casey and Jason and TJ? Yeah, right? I think we should all send Brandon a random text at different times today and be like, holy cow, I can't believe.

We should just put the bottle of fireball in front of Owen and send Brandon a text and he will have a heart attack. Like, this is a problem. That's the problem right there. Brandon will have a heart attack. Brandon is the king of fireball. Brandon's got a problem with fireball. And karaoke. He is the king of karaoke, too.

He is the king of karaoke. He actually should have not tried to been a race car driver. He should have tried to try to be a race car driver. He should have tried to be a singer. Larry McReynolds should not have sent his son Brandon to driving school. He should have sent him to guitar school. He can sing. He can sing.

He does pretty good. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know if I'm just drunk and Syedis when he starts saying. He's probably good compared to us, but is he good compared to all? He's not good. He's just getting compared to us.

The first year we went to Nashville, he was on stage at Tutsis more than the performers were. He was paying $100. $100 a song. It was more than that. Of course they were letting it on stage. Oh, man. All right. So, Noah, 10 wins total in your career, five this year.

You're on fire. Yeah, it's been going good. It's been going good. I've been really happy with where we're at as a team. And we just been progressing each and every year. I think that's the main thing looking back. And still feel like we have some good racetracks coming up, Homestead, Vegas, Martinsville.

I feel like those are good tracks for us. So definitely a record year thus far. And really the main goal was playoff point, stage wins, race wins, and just try to get yourself in the position best position for Phoenix late in the year. So we see, you bring up Homestead, which is a great point because you haul ass at Homestead. You hauled ass this week. You never won there, though. I know, you never won there.

But like, so we always talk about, and we see it year and year out, Kyle Larson, Christopher Bell, Reddick. those guys with dirt backgrounds are the ones that usually are able to hustle the wall No Christopher can't Well Christopher does struggle sometimes

But like where Like where does that come from from you Because like there's no There's no obviously there's no dirt background And you're in your past Like how did like you just seem to excel At places where we get on the wall and just haul ass Well it goes back to 2019

And Dave Ellens And We went to Vegas Kansas Darlington, Chicago, Homestead, and all those places just worked on, Fontana, worked on running the wall. Those are a throwaway races, and we knew if we could get to Homestead, that's where we were going to, like, that's where the race is won. So we also did a two-day test at Darlington, did a two-day test at Homestead. Homestead, I ran two laps on the bottom and 398 on the top over the course of two days.

And just trying to get into a rhythm and get that feel, it takes a long time. But yeah, I'd say Redick and Larson, Larson, I spent a lot of time in the Sim with him getting feedback and just asking him questions and Josh Wise. So there's been a couple of people who have helped me out and then just repetition laps and laps and laps. on the wall. There's nothing better in my opinion than running right up and skimming the fence. I mean, you can feel it when you're just scuffing the decal off the side and not even scuffing the body. You're just

scuffing, I mean, that much. Yeah, it's a pretty satisfying feeling. So, I ain't a lie to you, when Dave Ellen's left JRM, I thought J.R.M would not be as good as they are. I thought he was a brainchild over there. Obviously, very talented guy. I just won a Southern 500 with Eric Jones. You and Luke Lambert? Man, are y'all clicking like crazy or what?

Yeah, yeah. Dave and I were like super tight and I was kind of bummed to see him go and then I didn't know who my crew chief was going to be for this year really till I think I met Luke like December 7th or something like it was it was pretty late and just clicked with them immediately we met at Field of Greens at Ross's place and got a salad and talked and he was kind of seemed like a brother I never knew, you know. And we just have been having the most fun that, you know, I've ever had in racing and have a good connection. And I feel like we're on the same page. I think the crew chief driver connection is so key. And I really enjoy Luke and his family and really our whole team right now.

But, yeah, I was definitely bummed out to see Dave leave. But I'm glad that we got Luke too. Well, Dave just won a race. that's where you're headed in a cup car next year. That has to be exciting too because obviously you want to get in a position where you can keep winning. Yeah, I think it's really good

that he's crew chief and Eric Jones. I'm not sure who my crew chief's going to be over there next year, but... Are you sure? No, I've... Like, I'm serious. December, you want to meet him in December? Yeah, December 7th.

December 7th, want to grab a house. 1135. If you guys don't know, he's there. Bob Pokkers is going to be in the window. Pokrass. Pocker ass. Bob. But would you ask me?

The 43-1. Obviously, no driver wants to go to Cup knowing they can't win. So now you know that team can win. Yeah, I think I remember what I was saying. With Dave being the crew chief for Eric, it's good. Like, we tested Martinsville. And I was able to talk to Eric and Dave could help you that middleman on, hey, this is what he means and this is what he means and help both of us.

And I feel like my communication is pretty good with Eric Ardia. I really look up to him. I think he's a great race car driver and really, like, told him, like, hey, if we can be attached to the hip and, you know, work together as best as possible, we've got to be one team with two cars. And, you know, that's how that organization's run with, you know, really leading with Morrie Gallagher and Mike Beam and the Petty family. and they just got a lot of good people.

So it was really cool to see them win at Darlington. I mean, that's a pretty tough race track. Very tough. Eric's really good there as it is. Definitely one of his best tracks. Yeah, he's had some good stats. I was looking back at his stats and everything over the past. It's a second win there.

Five or six years, yeah. So, no, that was good to see, and they want to keep building growing, and we all have to work together. I think it's really cool because Dave is, obviously, I feel like I did, like, know was Dave's kid. You know what I mean? to me. And the first person, like, Dave came to me and was like, hey, I need to find a good spotter for, like the first thing that most people do, like, if they're looking for a spotter, they'll go to other spotters and talk about who's going to spot. And Dave was like the first one. He's like, hey, we need to find Noah a spotter. And I'm like, let's not even even if you're, you're not even if you're not even though he's not even though he's, like, you can tell he's always looking out for you. Definitely. I think he was, you know, a big part of me going over to Petty GMS and them willing to take the risk to hire me because of Dave's word, they really trust Dave and that relationship.

Yeah, I mean, he does a good job, but, you know, I don't think without Dave I'd even have really the opportunity to go drive for them. So you're running a cup car part-time this year for colleague. much does that help you get ready for next year? Because if you don't do that, in my mind, you may tell me I'm crazy, you're a year behind. Now you're not a year behind. Do you feel good about what you've been doing this year to help you get ready for next year to know at least what the car feels like? Yeah, it's big to go into next year, at least knowing, hey, this is how these things drive or this is how they're supposed to feel and get some time on the real racetrack, you know, before we do off-season simulator test and whatnot and know what feels right

and what's wrong. What you don't know, you don't know. So I think this year definitely a really valuable experience with both Colleg and Beard Motorsports. And it's, they're challenging cars. I mean, the arrow and Xfinity, I feel like no matter where I line up on a restart, I can make forward progress and get a row or two. The cup cars, I'm just trying to figure out, like, hey, if I position my car to the left, what's it going to do? If I'm squared up behind somebody, what's it going to do? If I'm positioned myself to the right, you get looser, and I'm still trying to learn that, and how far away from guys I need to run.

And it's been a big learning curve. I feel like the arrow side of things are the biggest challenge. But, I mean, Michigan, we had a really good run. We got up to third for like 300 feet and went south back to fifth again. But ran fifth for a long time. So that gave me, I had no confidence in the Cup Series until that Michigan race. And I was like, well, yeah, I mean, like any Cup guy that comes and runs Xfinity, I feel like I can beat them.

But when I go and run the Cup car, I don't have any confidence racing against those guys. So this learning will help for next year. I mean, it's a, it's a huge leap, like huge. And you're talking probably two to three years you'll finally get, I think, I mean, you're going to have it right off the bat, you know, the team you're at and having decent speed. But it's, you got to give yourself time and don't, you know, just stay after it like you're going to do. Yeah, it's going to be a challenge. Which car, I don't want to say it's more fun to drive, but which car is more fun to drive?

Because you can, you can manipulate people. like well you can get you can get you can get them loose you can move around a lot more they're up on the track there's more wiggling and when the cup cars wiggle they're gone oh i i got to bite my tongue because i almost is the first time i don't do it yeah you can say it you can't you guys it's just a podcast we can cut it out if you probably won't if you can say it you can say it we'll cut it out if you don't i'm just going to say i i really really enjoy racing the exfinity car we say the experience like the only car i really enjoy driving we say it all the time it's best race the weekend in terms of racing, right?

But the problem is there's 16 cars maybe that can win. When you look at Cup, obviously there's 21 winners so far this year. So there's going to be 30 guys that can win. There's 18. No, there's 21. You got two duels with the winners.

Okay. And you also got an all-star race. Blaney. So Blaney's win doesn't count. Jimmy Johnson's last win. So Blaney's win doesn't count. That counts too. The clash.

Blaney's win don't count because his fucking window net was down. He won a million dollars. Okay, 18-1 winners, whatever you guys want to say. Who the hell won the duels? You're racing, to your point about how hard it is in Cup. You're racing a lot more people.

Yeah, we won't, we won one of the duels, man. But he's a race winner. That don't count anymore. That don't count. Hey, one of the new thing about the new guys, you can put your own winning it up. And win a million dollars. And win a million.

Saying, it's pretty cool. You only got to latch one side of it. All right, my last thing before we dive in the spot on spot off and take a shot of fireball to celebrate is I want to talk. about your fan base. I see probably as much NG merchandise and Noah Grags of merchandise that is not related to a race team. It's actually related to your brand. I probably see as much of that

as any other driver in a garage. That's really cool. Like you build a really good fan base around yourself. How did you figure out how to do that? You do it by yourself. Yeah, I mean, I've had help on, you know, printing the T-shirts and the designs and stuff. but actually promoting it and like I try to come up with all the designs. I don't know how to work the keyboard, but I'll tell all my ideas, I guess. But really it just comes from me being a fan of the sport and me being a fan of the drivers. And I was racing a legend car in 2013 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway after the Cup race on the quarter mile. And Casey Kane, we had pit passes.

And it actually turns out Hollywood Armstrong, the guy who drives says, truck. Oh yeah. He was working for... Is he a truck driver now? Yeah, he was working for Oakley and BK racing and Zane Smith had a deal with Oakley and we got pit passes through them for the NASCAR stuff and at the time I had no clue on like I thought Hollywood was like Mike Elton or something

like he got us these passes. He'll tell you that he's Michael man. So we're, I mean we're like 13, 14 and we would walk on to the right on pit road and stuff, and they'd be like, you can't come out here. No, no, no. Hollywood got us the passes. We're good. You know Hollywood.

We're good. Just the gatework. Now I know. And I'm like, God, what we're doing? But I met Casey Kane and got an autograph from him and just him taking the time out. I remember that feeling. So if I can do that to others now that I'm in that position, I, you know, I became a fan of his and, you know, supported him.

And it's cool to see doing that now. People support and support myself. So I just appreciate everybody's, you know, another one. That's why they're in there, bro. I think there's still another white cloud now if you want one. No. There's 10 of them in there. Dude, it's 10 o'clock.

It's 11 o'clock. You won the race. Yeah. Oh, I got to be out of here at 11.10. Can you something? Yeah. He's full of shit. If you ever believe any Noah says...

But I appreciate everything that the fans, like, they support me a lot. They do, man. Like, it's almost like you've got your own little niche with what you've got for a fan base. And I think it's really cool. The, the, uh, I know we, we share mutual friends with the Black Flag podcast idiots. Like, complete idiots. And they are, they are, I mean, they may be the presidents of the Noah Gregson fan club. Yeah, they're pretty good.

Um, But look, man, I grew up in an air in the sport, 99 to 2005, where me and Elliot would leave his bus after happy hour and go out and infield and drink a beer with the people. Like, you're not afraid to do that. A lot of people are afraid to do that. You're not. You're not afraid to get out there amongst the fans. You don't care if you're on social media. Like, that's kind of a rarity these days.

I've never seen Chase Elliott out there. No. You don't see Bubba Wallace out there. we saw him like he's thinking of a reason just because he's biased bubba has been out there nobody has been on nobody goes in the infield but nothing like no nobody goes in the infield right now more than noagrax yeah fair is that a good or i agree with that i mean it depends who you as if it's good or bad right i mean elli used to put on the damnedest outfits like he'd put on a cowboy hat he'd put in those fake buck teeth and he'd damn wear cut off jean shorts and cowboy boots but out in the

and Phil we'd go. And he'd have fun out there for a couple of hours. We'd go back to the bus. Because to your point, he was that person, you know, as a 20-year-old. He was a fan of the sport and he appreciated the fan base. And I think, I listen, man, if there's not a lot of things that I'm proud of you about, I'm damn sure proud of you about that. Because you're a man of the people when you do that.

I don't know. I need your approval. That's a good thing. No, the way I look at it is like, I mean, I feel like some of these guys like take it way too serious all the time. I think there's a time and a place to be engaged and turned on. And I think you can also enjoy yourself and enjoy, you know, time outside of the race car and have fun.

And, um, yeah, I just, the way I think about it is I try and have as much fun as possible. Once I put my helmet on, it's time to go to work. Yeah, you flip the switch. Throughout the week, um, that's where you prepare. I mean, yeah, we're, working out 7 a.m. and you guys are always trying to give me to go to big big alas but there's a lot of dedication a lot of preparation that goes in throughout the week so the way I look at it is there's nothing to be nervous

about on the weekends like go have fun enjoy yourself because if this is my last race this past weekend or next weekend I want to have fun and and enjoy myself and enjoy the opportunity because I don't think you can take this this for granted 20 years will go by so fast or however long and you take it too serious you'll miss it all i saw rickie rudd on dale jr's twitter this week or today this morning's birthday 66 years old to your point like it seems like he was just here racing with us and owning the tin car and running the tide ride and yeah 20 years you're right man 20 years will will 100% fly by so kessie i know in Vegas and 13 that seems like yesterday to us i mean he's talking about running legend's car

you guys ran out on the back straight away yeah on the last last last last Brad won. Nine years ago, he's racing Legends cars. Mountain Dew car. It's insane. You can go from Legends cars to a full-time cup ride

in nine years. That's fast. I started racing when I was 13. No one in my family ever race, so... And 13's old. What got you? It is old.

What got you into it? I love the X games and dirt biking, mountain biking, snowboarding, skateboarding, all that action sports, anything where I could go

in the neighborhood and build a jump. you used to have those plastic jumps that like 1080 or 900 ramps that you get from, I don't know, one of the sporting goods stores or whatnot. And I just loved it. Like I'd have road rash all over my body from wrecking my bike or, you know, whatnot. And a guy who worked with my dad, his kids raced and my dad and him started talking. And my dad knew that I wanted to race something, just never.

really had the opportunity or knew anyone. And then we went out to the Bullring in Las Vegas right outside the big track. It's a small three-eighth paved asphalt track and tested a bandalero and I had a smile on my face. That's awesome. And then did a year of bandaleros, two years of legend cars with a couple of late model starts. And then they weren't getting a lot of late models on the West Coast at that time, 2015. We weren't 2014, 2015. They were getting like eight cars, eight late models. So So the guy who was doing all my legend car and late model stuff, Dustin and Ash, he worked for Gene Price Motorsports with Greg Persley in the Canaan days for Craig Persley and Dylan Klausnowski. So it was, he worked for them and the two team owners were going to buy the team, or the two

crew chiefs were going to buy the team from the team owner, the team owner wanted to get out Gene price. And so they bought it and they needed another driver. weren't sure how I was going to do if I was ready for it and probably wasn't, but finished like third in the first race and then won our third race at Tucson. And that's when you were racing against guys like David Mayhew and Brandon McReynolds, Ryan Partridge, like guys who were like men, you know. And I was kind of the youngest guy out there.

But it was, I'd say 2015 was the last like real year. there was men racing in the Arc Arcaiocan series. Yeah. Yeah, it's been a while. That Arca deal. Oh, my goodness. It's terrible. Let's just be honest.

I thought it would get better when they kind of merge the series, but has now. Sorry, Jason. It's too confusing. Like, they had five cars and lead lap again. Like, we can't have a race for five cars and lead lap. I'm sorry. It's like just. Here's what I hope happens.

And y'all are going to think I'm crazy. I walk through the garage after the Xfinity race. I had a run inside. Freddy was with me. And I literally, I literally thought that they were driving experience cars. Because the majority of cars that I saw just didn't look like the craftsmanship that I've come to appreciate and what a race car is. Right. So to your point, like you got the Venturini's of the world that are out there that are racers and they're doing it the right way.

But, man, I've heard that we're going to see an electric car race at L.A. I've heard we're going to see a 30-minute electric car race. I wouldn't be mad if the ArcA series went away and became an electric car series because right now it's it's I look I enjoy watching racing when I'm spot on our race hell no I'm out but I wouldn't mind seeing it transform into something that's relevant because right now it's becoming irrelevant it's yeah I don't have anything nice to say about it so I'm gonna just well that's where I'm at on it before you get too many beers in we've only been on the show for 10 minutes are you serious it's only been 10 minutes It feels a lot longer. Don't worry. That's how much fun you're having. Time flies when you're having fun. We do this for two hours.

Freddie, give us a quick 30 second summary of yesterday's race that let you. I think you can have as much time as you want. You won. It's quick. We kicked their ass. I mean, that's all we,

I mean, that was it. That's all there was. Do you want to skip just the after party part? After party was fun. It was good. No, the race was like the one thing about,

The thing I took away from yesterday's race was the confidence Bubba had. We knew we were really fast the first race of Kansas. Obviously, Kurt won our car was just as good. We had that issue. That was where we had the loose wheel. We stopped coming off pit road and wrecked Tyler. But Bubba's confidence was all day. He literally said, in the middle of the race, he's like,

I just need to bust this bubble to get from seventh to fifth. And once I get to fifth, I'm going to get the lead. And when I get the lead, this race is over. And I was like, okay. Like, if he feel that, all right. He knew it was driving that good. Yeah, like, he just knew it. And then obviously, we got the lead.

The race was over. Like, obviously, we could have caught a caution and some stuff could have went down differently. But, like, when we got the lead, I noticed, like, the 48 checked out and our lap times kind of match each other. But then, like, lap 15 to 20, I was like, oh, we are hawking this motherfucker down. Like, we, he's in trouble. Can you say motherfucker on here? Hey, do you have to write it down? I was listening to it.

right down like full notes. It's short actually for how long we're on the show. I apologize. You just cut that whole sentence out of Wanda. You mother. Jason gets really pissed off. He's got to beep himself. Random fiss.

At this point. A random. You got a, you got a slip a random fucking. He'd be like, oh, that dirty moat media signs. And he'll miss an edit and it'll end up on the show. And people are like, yeah, there's a fucking the show. Hey, I got a question, though.

Like, I've listened to a couple. Why do they hate you on this thing? Like, those people who call in. Why do they hate you? TJ sucks. Well, who did I work with? Before that. He's not going to put it on himself.

Joe, yeah. I was like, I don't know who you work with. Well, before I started working by, I worked with a yellow car. Oh, Ligano? Yeah, everybody hates you. I was just guilty with, by association with that. So, but yeah, he was. I don't know, because they, like, calling.

Hey, he sucks. Freddie. Brett, what's going on? TJ, you suck? I'm like, why do they hate him? I went from, I went from, I went from my, trying to hype them because their heads are too big. I want some not better than not being doing anything wrong when I work with Dell Jr.

to, um, yeah, pretty much the most hated guy. Yeah. Yeah. And it just followed him. And now you try to block Boba from winning yesterday.

Son of him. I was screaming at him. I never heard you. I was screaming at one time. I'm like, because you weren't looking when I was screaming. The funniest part about the whole thing was so I am, Chris Lambert,

that spots for Danny. Denny that's on the podcast. with us a couple years ago, last year, I guess it was. Yeah, thank you. I was, I would look, I'd lean back and yell at T.J. I'm like, get the fuck out of the way. And Lambert would go, stay the in the way. Here's what they don't know is Lambert was at Hooters.

You were at Hooters. Y'all ran one and two. The first race you ever won in the Cup series, me and you were at Hooters literally until they kicked us out of the place. And it was a monsoon. And it was a monsoon. And we had to walk back in the rain. and I literally rung my underwear out

and put my shoes on the freak and it was the middle of summer and I had to turn the heat on to drive my shoes. I think Hooters is his go-to spot. I got news for you. We're going to find a hooters in every town we go to.

Wherever, where we are. There's a really good one in Bristol, John City. We're going to be there Saturday. Friday night. We'll be there. Yeah, but now it was, I mean, that was,

obviously Talladega was awesome, but there's an asterix because it was raining and yada, yada. Yesterday was just a we were the best car I mean Talladega you were sitting duck

took to lead sitting duck we get a lot Noah's not going to appreciate this statement I give you I give you more credit for the Talladega win

than I give Bubba and I don't mean that a bad way Bubba's driving a race car but spotters and drivers working together like I'm not saying you were 51% of the reason you won but oh yeah spotters at a speedway

or like everything but this one this win at Kansas is on Bubba yeah It's not on Freddie because we have the cameras in the car, so you don't really need a spot. Not even need us. Especially when you're going forward the entire time. When you're hauling ass, like, it's way easier to spot a fast race car.

Yeah. You are a prototype. If you're moving forward all day long, like, clear. Good job. Yeah. You know, like keep driving away from these sons of s' shit, I guess. I don't know. It's like going to Daytona with a 24-hour race.

If you do a prototype, it's easiest can be all day. Four wide your second. Three wide. Lear High. Are you telling me that's not, that's hard? I mean, that was that part. That was me. When Ross, when we were back there, we were all around each other all day. When Ross decided he was going to run us into Harvick, that was a little bit challenging. Well, when Denny decided he was going to crowd Brad up the track. The Ross Chastain, is it? We talk about this at all or no. Brett said we kind of talk about it, but if you want to talk about it. We can't talk about it. No,

you can talk about it. The Ross Chastain, don't give a, two or made a stop yesterday. Did it? Oh, yeah. He literally, we were three wide. for like three laps and he just decided off of four that we were all good and he was going to come off the bottom and I literally run us right across damn Dr. I told Fido what happened. I asked Fido what happened. I said I'm telling you man, Ross didn't act like he was three wide

right there. Is that what I didn't know, I didn't see what happened with here we're taking his victory shot we got to get his show going. We're running late. I don't know if he's going to do one. No, you're not doing one? Do half of one. He's got to do one. Come on man. He's got to prove himself. I don't drink normally but I'll do one because Fray one. T. T.J. never does him. T. T. J. is going to do it. Freddie won, man.

This is to celebrate your victory. Just smell it. No, dude. Smell it. Don't smell it if canny. Here's a friddy's victory. These are nice glasses. Cheers.

They look nice glasses. Jason, I'll give you this shot glass. Ah. All right. You want this? Hold on. Put that. Get a smell like fireball.

Yeah. Hey, we got a Bristol sweet experience this Saturday. Oh, yeah. Are you all excited for that? You leaving us here? I was going to drink more of it. Ben, want to get the fireball off table. Brett, we have another sweet Saturday.

night race. I'll tell you what. I'm pumped up. We got 70 folks coming for the Bristol Suite experience. I'm going to be in there for a couple hours before the race starts. We're doing a big Q&A before the race starts. Man, I'm pumped up. Here's the thing, man.

Bristol is one of those places that when you pull up to the parking lot and you can see the racetrack, you literally get excited. Like your insides are like, man, I'm at Bristol Motor Speedway. I'm excited. that have never been, you don't know what you're missing. But of all the places we go to race, Bristol is, hey, it's not my favorite race of the year because I'm still a Daytona 500 lover, but it is my favorite racetrack that we go to all year. I don't like it covered in dirt.

I like it the way we're going to see it this weekend. And I'm pumped up for these folks that are coming to be a part of the dirty mummy experience. They're going to have an awesome time. Bristol, I'll go on a limb and say Bristol has the best sweets in the sport. Like the view, like there's no obstruct. Seamless glass. Seamless glass. Have you been to the Portland Suites?

Portland. I didn't know that has. It's out there. Into the tent. Well, stay tuned to Dirty Mail Media for behind the scenes content. I think Jason will be there too, right? Jayce, you going? I'm going.

Casey, you're coming? This one also sold out. I was not invited. In like 24 hours. It's a big deal. This one was sold out in Westboro. It was the hottest ticket in NASCAR. Holy cow. How about that, too? I know. I can't wait to talk about it.

Oh, don't you worry. it's on the list. All right, let's hear a little bit more about our incredible presenting sponsor, OfferPad. Are you looking to sell your home or know someone who is?

When asked what 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.J.

Um, uh, uh, there's only one correct answer. I don't know. It's time for spot on, spot off. First off, Saturday's Expendity Series race restarts and finishes with two to go in stage two, despite drivers saying it's raining. He's almost as bad as Clint Boyer. So Brett, spot on, spot off. Rain short. Look, man, here's the thing.

We saw the radar We knew the rain was coming It was not as intense as it was in Daytona And this sounds crazy But we can see the rain coming from up top Like we know When it's a big cell I mean we're freaking hundreds of feet off the ground

It was close enough Saturday Where I was really pissed off on that 51 spun out Me too NASCAR did Who do you spot for? The 68 Chris Wright maybe.

Chris Wright. Is Chris right? Chris did a good, that was his first exfinity race at a novel like other than darling table. You should laugh. Noah is literally dipping biscuits

into gravy right. That was you supposed to do, right? He pulled out of a trash can. Well, I like his style. Cut that out. I mean, come on, Casey.

Yeah, but it was in the plastic bag still. All right, spot on, spot off. We love Bojangles biscuits. Those are Bojangles biscuits. This show is off the tracks right now. Casey, I'm spot on. NASCAR manages a situation properly.

I apologize to the spotter to my left, Charlie Brown, because he reported... Dude, this is awesome. He came down there. He was trying to drag this thing up for you. He reported, but we weren't going to get to halfway. So Charlie Brown, you know, tells a nice car official it's raining down the back. And it was... Who is he spotting for?

I don't know. Basset. But I called him, I called him a mother-b-h. And I could hear him... I was 12 people away from Brett, and I can hear him screaming at this guy. I actually heard it, too. It was loud enough for I was like, I literally said,

you stupid motherfucker. It's not raining hard enough to not go back green. That's what I said to him. I wanted to run it out under caution. I'm owning what I did. I apologize. I'm throwing to Brownlow and I'm pointing to the windshield.

The funniest thing was, so we're all trying to get to halfway, right? So NASCAR goes, spotters, ask your driver if the track's okay. There's, how many cars are your experience here? 36.

30 something. 36, 35 spotters were going. Go green. And Tyler, and Tyler Mon went like this. No good. No, we're not going green. Backhanded. He's like, I want to run four more laps under yellow and throw the checker.

Hey, that was a pretty start through the middle. Oh, it was awesome. Was it? Yeah, it was. I tried to get back. Oh, it was great restart. I think we weren't close enough to halfway. We had to go green.

We needed. We did not. No, we had to. We weren't going to get halfway. I just, I mean, it started right at the cost. They shouldn't have thrown the first ring caution. No. Well, Clements never should have thawtered up when he got off the racetrack.

Is that what he did? I don't know, but I'm going to look for sure. Dude, it's not Clement's fault, dude. Like, you guys, you're not factual. He had a flat tire. Yeah, but he hit the wall already and went straight down the racetrack. You're not going to share that biscuit, are you? I actually did offer all right.

He offered you biscuits. No one doesn't share his biscuits. Spot on, right? Everyone says spot on. Moving on. I don't have a note, so I don't even know what we're. Do you want a bite? Oh, my.

Casey, come get a biscuit. I'm good. I'm good. I'm good. I'm good. 15 points separate 10 through 15th on the playoff grid, heading into the Bristol elimination race. Spot on, spot off, Freddie.

What was the question? We're sharing gravy over here. I apologize. Something about 10 through 15th. The points is, is it close? 15 points. 10 through 15th on the playoff grid heading into the Bristol

elimination race. Wait a minute. Freddie will drink behind me in a bar but he will not bite behind me on a biscuit. Look at that I bit this biscuit. He doesn't know where your mouth has been. That's savage, Freddie. All right, so the playoff grid is Daniel Soros.

Sorry, no, it's in your life. Grut me. Soares is 10th plus six. Reddick's 11th plus two. Sindrick 12th plus two. Kyle Busch, first one out. 13th minus two. Dylan, Austin Dylan.

14th minus 3, Chase Briscoe 14th or 15th minus 9 and Harvick's last minus 35. This is the best thing that could have in the Cup series. I think the biggest takeaway from this is the fact that two non-playoff drivers, the 45s in the owner's championship obviously, but two non-playoff drivers won the first two races. So I think going to Bristol is Bell the only one that's potentially locked in? Like, yeah. So, I mean, anything can happen at Bristol, obviously. We've seen that before.

but this might turn into the Kyle this is this is Kyle listen Kyle I thought obviously we won the race so I'm pretty happy about that but like I thought the 18 and the 19 were the two fastest cars yesterday

like I thought they were hauling ass and I'm like they're gonna they're gonna they're gonna they got set back a couple times and came back to the field I think 19 came back and ended up fifth or something yeah he did um but I'm like these guys are fast and then Kyle just like just made a mistake like spun out

Ragged off for. I think he was, hit the grass. He's probably thinking about his RCR contract. He's always struggling to Kansas turn for you. Oh,

yeah. Hasn't he? He's put out there a lot, hasn't he? It just, he's had this issue, like last year in the playoffs, same thing,

just making mistakes. But listen, I picked him. Like, when we talk about first four out, like Kyle's just hit or miss. Like,

super hit or miss going to be, he's going to win the rates or he's going to finish 35th. Like that, those are, those are the two options. Um,

so, listen, I mean, he can go out there Saturday and dominate this race. He could leave 495 of the lap. Yeah, he could go and dominate this race, and it wouldn't surprise me one bit. But just spot on because it just brings more drama to this cutoff race. And they did a great job laying the schedule out of these cutoff races are just to promote excitement.

And it's going to be a hell of a show Saturday night. I'm spot on for how close it is. It makes exciting. There's going to be a lot of people doing math the entire race. And I won't be one of them. but this is the type of scenario that I really believe Kyle ends up thriving him. I think Kyle comes out and he's really good at Bristol already and he's going to be a force. I think him and Martin, I know Martin's not in the playoffs, but I think him and Martin come out.

Kyle will be really tough. Tyler Reddick, Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick all have enough speed and deserve to be in the next round and they all might not. And I think that's a shame, but that's why this playoff, makes it exciting, right? So, I mean, Kevin Harvick and Kyle Busch are two of the best to ever race at Bristol Motor Speedway. And Kevin Harvick is in a must-win situation. Kyle Busch is not.

Kyle Busch needs a couple good stages, and guess what? He puts himself in position and Daniel Suarez doesn't get stage points. Daniel Suarez is out of the playoffs in that scenario, right? So this is why the playoff is exciting. But, man, that's three guys that I didn't have going out in the first round. to maybe own out. Listen, you talk about Harvick should have won this race last year. And this is the race where Chase Elliott,

Chris Elliott, you know, they got together. Chase came out and blocked them long enough for Larson to get around them. But Harvick can easily, just like we talk about Kyle going out of there and dominating his race, Harvard could do the same thing. Noah, what do you think? You're awfully quiet over there. I don't know how to do this. Do it.

Spot on, spot off. It's playoff points. As far as like how close things are going into the elimination race. It's exciting. do you approach this is a driver? It's going to be what it's going to be. So, I don't know. Solid input. How do you, your analysis is amazing. I'm not a what if guy. How do you, what do you do? What do you do if you're the driver and you're in your Kevin Hartman?

I will say one thing. It's Kevin's got to win, obviously. It's tough with it. I mean, we were in a situation last year at Martinsville where we were in a must-win scenario. and it's doable, but it's definitely tough, especially with the question mark of this next young car, in my opinion, it's, well, they haven't been to Bristol in this next young car. Right. Are we going to be shifting? Are we not?

You know, there's a lot of unknowns. Valid point. I think at the same time, it's tough to be in the mentalhood space for Kyle Busch as well in going through contract negotiations. You can't put your full focus and, into the racing. You're still taking a little bit of energy throughout the week and putting it aside for your contract

and getting your life situated for the next year, however long. So I know in the past, when I haven't had a deal signed, you kind of, you don't sleep as good. You don't spend as much time throughout the week, just solely focused on racing. And it's a tough position to be in. I don't have any doubts against Kyle, but just being in that position before a couple

times, I know that it's not any fun. And I don't think for myself personally, I'm, I race at 100% potential when I'm in those positions. Spot on. Yeah. So Kyle Busch is reportedly going to race for Richard Children's next year. Spot on, spot off. No, are you spot on for this too?

Let them announce their deal on their own. well the problem is it's early out like yeah but the announcement before the announcement is like you're you're not wrong i know but i've been in the position where people have leaked jim mutter and those guys will leak your stuff and it's not cool but how do they get it like here's the problem like because of you you guys you too we don't have mouse over here we don't ever we don't ever ever we don't ever we don't in them rooms and they say they don't i don't have a phone tap is a game of telephone And, well, like, Danny, Danny literally said, like, when they did the deal with Tyler, it was, I forget what he said, like, eight or nine minutes. Like, they, they, Tyler went and told his team.

45. And the rap guy from, or the rap guy for 2311, somebody from RCR texts him, hey, congrats to getting Tyler. So it was 10 minutes. Like, it's just a random guy, two random guys texting each other. And that's how stuff gets out. But listen. Here, here's what it says. It says Kyle Busch is reportedly going to RCR.

We did not report that. 30-mo Media. You actually didn't even, you didn't think he was going to. I said, oh, hold on a minute. You said 20%. I think Chevrolet holds the lead with this kid. At 50% that week, my math wasn't good. It was 50, 30 and 30.

I also said two weeks ago that RCR was desperate to get him in my mind. Because you can't lose a guy as talented as Tyler Reddick and go get, I don't mean anything against this. You can't lose Tyler Redick and go get Ty Dillon. You have got to replace an A driver with an A driver. Do we agree with that? Do you agree with that, Noah? Put you on spot.

Do you agree with that? Yeah. Yeah. Thank you. So I think Richard Childress looks like a genius. Because the perception was you wouldn't sign Tyler Redick. The reality was it wasn't in perception. You wouldn't sign Tyler Reddick to a long term deal, which he asked for.

Okay. So he left. But now what are you going to do? Well, in order to save your race team, you better go get an A guy. Do you best available guy? Here's what happens. You put Kyle Busch in this car, and when Kyle Busch runs 12th in this car, do you think it's the car or Kyle Busch?

The car. The car. You don't have to wonder, is it the driver or the car? And as a guy who's been in the sport a long time, been in a lot of meetings, when you start wondering if it's the driver, the race team flounders terribly. You're not going to have that with Kyle Bush there. But I'm going to tell you something. Tyler Redick right now is the only RCR car and affiliate car in the Cup series that runs top seven every single week.

The rest of those cars are not that fast. So is it Tyler Reddick or is it his car or is it both? We're about to find out. I think this is a brilliant move by Richard Childress. He should have ponied up and kept the guy he had. He did not. He screwed that up in my mind. Richard Childress is probably,

he is a lot more wealthier than I am. He's a lot smarter than I am. But at the end of the day... Were you going to say he was probably more wealthier than you? No, I was. But then I realized what I was talking about. I wasn't sure if he was going to say smarter or wealthy. He had to do this.

Had to. He had to hit a home run on his hire. And could he afford to wait a year? Right. So Tyler, Tyler obviously is under contract next year. But can you afford to wait a year and go after that Christopher Bell? That Christopher Bell, the guys that were going to come up in 2023 to drive for you in 2024 are now not available.

I said on this show six weeks ago, Freddie asked me some hypothetical question about would you hire Zane Smith or John Hunter Neimanchet to drive your cup car? And I said, Noah Gregson. You missed that. You must miss that episode. So my point is, home run hire for RCR right here. So do we know where Reddick's going then? Well, that's... I think when one domino falls,

the rest are going to fall quickly after. It just takes that first one. Listen, this is not me knowing anything about 2311, inside info. You would think Danny's going to do whatever it takes. Just hit that, whatever you want to do, Jason.

But here's the thing. I'm going to ask Noah this question, because you've seen how this works. Toyota could have afforded to keep Kyle Bush. Like, if you're a race fan and you're mad that Kyle Busch, your favorite driver, you're an M&M, Skittles, Starburst-loving, human, as am I? If you're mad he's leaving Joe Gibbs racing, it's Toyota's fault.

Because Toyota can afford to put Kyle Busch wherever they want to put him. Obviously, it's an allocation of $12 plus million, but guess who can afford that? Toyota can afford it. So if you're mad, Kyle Bush is leaving Joe Gibbs Racing, you shouldn't be. Because here's the, I think this, KBM. What happens to KBM? Richard Childers knows how to run a truck team. I mean, I remember walking through,

like to Noah's point earlier, I was a kid walking through a damn trade show somewhere, and Jay Sauter was signing autographs. I mean, he knows how to run truck teams. He knows. I'm pretty sure they're going to be cutting their bodies off. A lot more to how that place is run and who owns what in that place.

I mean, I noticed. I noticed 2311 hired Eric's Phillips Is he going over there? I heard he was leaving So 2311 Eric Phillips who was Walt Tom Rasker

No he was a Kyle guy Forever He was at he was at KBM forever Went and did some crew chief In the Xfinity series at JGR He crew chief in the first Three Exfinity races Yeah

And then now he's I just saw yesterday Denny announced that They've hired Eric Phillips So he was a car chief On He was car chief for Denny For a while

But, you know, I don't know what role. I'm assuming he's going to be some kind of competition director or shop foreman or something. But just like you, so that's a, that could be a sign of KBM. Who knows what's up at KBM? I honestly think that. I think the truck team was a lot of the holdup. I think it's the biggest conversation with Kyle,

because he's got so much. That's a lot of money. That is a lot of money for Kyle. Toyota essentially funded that KBM truck team. If he's going to RCR, if he announces that he is, do you think they're okay with him running Toyota trucks? No, no chance. Either the KBM shuts down or they're going to be Chevrolet next year.

That's, that's, there was, those are the only two options. I don't know if I see Kyle shutting it down. No, it's not going to shut down. He's already said he wants to keep it open. Yeah. Because he wants to have somewhere for Brexton to go. And he wants to race against Brexton probably in a truck or in a truck series. That'd be cool.

That'd be pretty cool. ever happened, by the way. Moving on to the topic of the week last week, the all-star race is moving to North Worksboro in 2023, and Fox wants to move it to different locations to keep it fresh and exciting. Noah, spot on, spot off. Spot on, but I think it has to be the right tracks. It has to be Texas. Texas. Yeah, I mean, you have to look at, and I don't know if it's just short tracks. Like, I don't know if Martinsville's answer. I mean, we saw how The Touchville was a really good race

for the cup cars this last time. I love grassroots. Yeah, I mean, I think we'll see. What was your favorite track growing up to race at? Like late models. Winchester was pretty cool. Take it there. Take it to short tracks.

I love grassroots. Yeah, Tucson. Yeah, I'm actually all four going to places like that. They could talk about moving this around. This ain't leaving Northwood's for a while. I mean, Fox can say whatever the hell they want. This race is going to be in North Wilkesboro for the next. Look at your future.

I know. He had that, didn't he? We're losing him. Me and TJ just so happened to be on a text thread a week ago, TJ. A little over. Yeah. A little over a week ago when things started happening, and I got really excited about it.

I mean, North Wilkesboro was hands down my favorite chart. Well, the text started from an iPad because you can tell by the address, you know, so he's sitting on his couch. Yeah. And really promoting this. Do you want to say who this is? No, absolutely not. It's pretty easy to figure out who the,

it's T.J.'s daddy. T.J. stands for Thanks, Jr. There wasn't, there was a, I'm not naming names. Me, T.J. and an anonymous source were having a text conversation, and you could tell that things were in motion. Oh, yeah. And T.J. and I, man, I got excited because, Northwoodsboro, like I said, my favorite track growing up.

It's in the heart of NASCAR country. You should have been there that night. You see it felt what it felt like. I was in Iowa or it would have been. Dude, it was amazing. This is going to make some people upset. But I feel like we've alienated some of our hardcore fans and we've been chasing a ghost. Like we want this West Coast fan and we want this fan that loves TikTok.

Well, your phone don't work at a racetrack. So you ain't going to get the TikTok fan. So when I look at this, man, is we went back to our roots. We went back to short track racing. we went back to a place with worn out asphalt where tires are going to wear out guys are going to have to manage their stuff and people like Dale Jr. who appreciate the history of the sport are going to go nuts over this. Yeah.

Oh, it was, I'm telling you, I can't even imagine what a cup race would be like there with the NASCAR stars and stuff like that. I saw what it was like with a late model race. And to have that atmosphere back there, I'm pumped for it. Like, I think it's going to be an incredible event. I know people are worried about traffic, but I'm not worried about traffic. Like, that's just part of the thing. I'm going to tell you what they've got to be worried about is ticket sales,

because they're going to sell this race out in 30 minutes. Oh, I don't think it's going to take 30 minutes. So where are you going to put this and how are you going to arrange this for 20-ish thousand people to be able to buy the minute they release it? And they'll take any seat you got. They've already, they've already screwed this up. Let's be on the web. website crashed.

The first idea of what, I don't even know what, it was like $25 to Speedway Children's charity. They should have set $1,000. And if you donated $25 bucks, you became a priority list member. They should have said $1,000. If they'd have sold out the full $20,000 a lot, my day to raise the half million dollars for charity, and I'm all about their charity because I've done stuff for their charity in the past,

the Children's Speedway charities. Me too this year. I wrote America. But I'm telling you right now, when they turn this website on and say, tickets go on sell at 10 o'clock, they're going to sell 20. We've not had this demand for a ticket in 15 years. Years. This is going to be. It's insane.

This is going to be amazing. I cannot wait for this. But you better have your shit together because the minute you say it's going live, it's sold out. Yeah. And I think it's great. I mean, I do. I think it's awesome. I'm worried about the short track package is not great right now, obviously.

Like we've seen that every short track. But yeah, 100% Harvick said give them a thousand horsepower and let them rip. But like we don't have a short track that it wears out like North Wilkesburg does either. So I think that'll that'll help. Like yeah, like and don't just give them if we run 300 laps, don't give them 10 sets of tires. Give them like three. Yeah. So if you do have a question,

it's that way you got some guys that are 12th or 15th, they're going to pit. Yeah. And guess what? They're going to be probably leading here shortly, but it's the risk. Like that was, that's something that I've always really enjoyed.

I have never been excited about an All-Star Open. Oh, this is crazy. I do not like that race. I think it's a joke. And I hate to say that, but I hate that race. The All-Star Open at North Wilkesboro is going to be phenomenal. Yeah.

And I've heard. there's going to be other series there too. I wasn't on that text thread. I've heard late models too. I'm sure they'll be. Would you rather see us, I won't know what to weigh in on this, would you rather see us show up and run

Cup cars or late model cars with these guys driving? Lean models. Wouldn't that be insane? Oh, that lay model race is badass. Let one company build 20 late models and let them go race. Like SRX does?

It'd be, not the same format. I love SRX. I love SRX. I love the drivers in SRX. I love the feel of S-R-X. I hate those race cars. They're way too tight.

It looks stupid. It's a demolition derby race. I'm not a fan of those race. Since this race, we've heard more cup guys chime in and say, I'll run, I'll run, and I'll run. I mean, you had Harvey, you had Danny, you had Del Jr. saying he'd run again. Corey. Corey. Rodney.

McCall. Yeah. I mean, this has brought a lot back. Yeah. So, and I'm all for running. It's so nostalgic. And I hate that word, but in this sense, it's the best word to use. While we're talking 20, 20,

three schedule. I know, I feel like the number one. Probably could finally release it. Yeah, number one tweet question. I'm seeing Bob answer is, um, when is the schedule going to be released? I was thinking that look like. Do you guys, have you heard any rumors? Do you know? It should like normally. That was it. That was the last time. That was the last time under the fall. So it's going to come out this week and there's really not going to be, I don't think he might know more than me, but there's not going to be much difference. And the, my only, my only issue is we still only have one off

week. Oh, I heard that too. Do we only have one off week? Yeah. The tentative schedule I got has one off week. It says Richmond or Kansas, one of them could lose a date. But, I mean, this is my question, right? Which one would you rather lose a date?

Obviously, Richmond. Take us to Homestead every week. I have a hard time believing that we're not going to go to Texas Motor Speedway twice. It's such a big market. It's such a big state. lot of corporate partners. I mean, Casey, you know how important big markets are to sponsors. It's hard to believe we're not going to go to Dallas, Texas, Fort Worth area twice. What's the irony in the fact that Marcus bought North Wilkesboro to move the date to Texas?

Yep. And now we're flip-flopping back and taking the date from Texas to move back to North Wilkesboro. Whoa, you think. Well, yeah, we move the All-Star. We've took the All-Star race from Texas back to North Wilkesboro. I don't know what they're going to add in there. Hey, that's big for this area, too, don't forget. Huge. Because that's still local. I mean, it's an hour away.

Not even an hour. The mayor of North Wilkesburg is those dales some money. I promise you. I promise you right now. Every Airbnb, every hotel. I've already heard all the hotels are sold out. Anything that you could rent within, which, look, people are going to say, where should I stay? It's Hickory.

It's Boone. Here? It's statesful. It's Moresville. It's, uh, what's that little town where Joel's from? Dobson. Dobson. But Mount Erie, Mount Airy is an awesome area.

like we're going to flood these small towns with a bunch of people and a bunch of money like they've not seen in 20 years. That's awesome. Yeah, I'm telling you, those people that live all that, you didn't weren't up there, but there's all them little houses when you're driving in the back way there. Those people are going to, I mean, they're going to let people park in their yards. Thousands of dollars. Yeah, it's awesome. Good for them. Yeah, I'm excited. Spot on, spot off. Kevin Harvick sounds off on safety and says, so badass. He is. He is. He is. He's been on his Twitter password.

He's the man. He was, he was. What did you say? He was on a mission. Oh, yeah. We were at the 1948 thing that, like, drivers being in the deal. And he came up to me. He's like, hey, you're going to finish all the laps today?

And, like, ironically, he didn't. We did all the one. But I was like, dude, like, I love what you've been saying about the safety. Because, like, I took a hard hit at Tintanah this year. And we're out somewhere else. Franch Rich, and then Atlanta took a hard hit, and it's to the point where, like, I'll go take and risk whatever it is

with not even the thought of wrecking in an Xfinity car. I'll go for the move. I'll go when AJ's coming with 10-mile-on-hour run and throw a block. The cup car, you race at 90% because the hits are so hard. And, I mean, after that Atlanta wreck, it makes you race a lot more cautious but at the same time

it took me three weeks to your Atlanta wreck was one of the hardest wrecks I've seen in years like it I mean that was a shot and that was before we that you were one of the first ones that was a like super hard mine mine and Ross's

Rossett Fontana was pretty big but and he hurt him I moved he was hurt I talked to him in there I don't know if I could I moved seven inches in the belt. Wow. And I was as tight as I could get on my head hit the steering wheel.

Wow. What did Harvick say on that? So Harvick had tweeted or actually said this in the media. The whole safety thing is really second fill right now. And then he says teams should be in charge of fixing issues with a car because we would have never had more than two fires of the whole field because all the smart people live in the teams. So I'm going to ask you this question, Noah. It's September. We knew the drivers were concerned going in. into the off season about the safety of the car. We knew NASCAR had put some things out there about the data, the data.

But at the end of the day, why are we just now hearing this from the drivers? Like, are they... Because there's a driver group, me, they talk to each other, right? I think you're hearing it publicly, but, like, I've said it since the Daytona 500. I mean, rode in the ambulance with Todd Gillen. When he wrecked, we wrecked 10 laps to go. And we were like, holy... hurt to wreck.

Went to Atlanta. Fifth week of the year. Wrecked one there. Big one. It's like, man, I don't want to take the risk of potentially wrecking just to get another spot for 14th at a super speedway. Is it worth it? Yeah.

Kurt. I've talked to Kurt. I think, you know, talking to Kurt after his Atlanta wreck, the first Atlanta. A lot of these guys, I think, are talking privately. but it's just coming because everyone's over it. I mean, they're just over it. And they hurt too much, but every NASCAR is in a box because, I mean, this car is supposed to come out in 2021.

Yeah, right? Right. COVID hit. It didn't. And they're squeezing it out. They could barely get it out for 2022. So what do they do to make it better for you guys? To make it not as rigid. What do you do? I don't know. I don't, I'm not an expert.

I drive them. I think, I think you, I think you see. stuff come out now because we saw with Denny at Daytona. A lot of guys they don't know because they haven't took a hit. Danny took a big hit in Daytona and he's like holy, okay. Now I know

what the hell they're talking about. Like he had to take the XVinity race all the next week. He's like a lot of these guys don't know the situation because they haven't had a hard wreck. And when they have a hard wreck, they're like, okay, oh wow. Now I know what these other guys have been saying that you know and

and then now like the guys obviously everybody can't be critical of NASCAR. Like they're not going to come out and just, but like you've got the Harvicks of the world, the Kiles, the Denny's. They're going to finally. They're respected enough. Yeah.

They know that their opinion carries weight. And like we, this is where we're at now. Like, you know, these guys are finally going, listen, we are not going to risk like Noah said. You can't run the car.

You can't be as aggressive as you should be because you're worried in the back of your mind. like I can't wreck this thing. I don't know, you know, whatever. But it's... For me personally, I... Yesterday, if I would have known at the beginning of the year

how these things were to wreck, I wouldn't have signed up to race any races from Darlington until the end of the season, just because I want to be ready for the Xfinity car. Yesterday in the cup car,

I didn't even try to make forward progress on the restarts. And I just tried to maintain and not to keep, get wrecked and then wherever I shuffle out, shuffle out. Big picture racing. Yeah. I mean, I want to be ready to go for Saturdays.

And I feel like if I try to race the cup cars, you know, to the full potential, there's a possibility of it stepping out and you reckon and you're scrambled eggs. You don't know. Yeah. Yeah.

Way to go! The data tells me that Bubba still sucks. Freddy, you can't see shit. I just want to say, I'm not drunk. My great grandma could outrun him and she's 90-8. Reaction theater rolls in three, two, one. Hell of a job, 2311, and Bubba Wallace? Bubba owned the last 100 miles of that race.

If 2311 doesn't have to replace the motor on that 45 car after Bubba lit them up on the start-finish line to celebrate, I guarantee they're going to need to worry about Freddie blowing a motor tonight. No blow motors last night. Yet. What's the last time you blew a motor? I'm curious. I blew one Saturday night. I didn't think you'd tell everybody.

Listen. No way. Listen. Oh yeah. Hooters. Hooters. So this is not my, no one goes,

this is not my fault, though. How? So we were. You're roof? No. I'll tell the story right now. So we ran it. We were at Hooters.

And apparently we were a lot closer to Lincoln, Nebraska than I ever thought we were. because every person in the bar was a Nebraska fan. And there was a group of guys next to us that were the drunken individuals there. And they decided they were going to cheer for Georgia Southern just to fuck with all the Nebraska fans. So every time Georgia Southern got a first down, a touchdown,

they did Irish car bombs. So I was like, I'm in. Let's do a couple of years. It was 45 to 40. Georgia Southern beat. Will Daly is having a party somewhere right now. Yeah. He's having a party somewhere in Statesboro right now because of Georgia Southern. But these guys are messing with them. So they're doing shots of Irish car bombs.

So Irish car bomb. So I'm Irish car bomb, yada, yada, yada, yada. Having a couple of them. Well, next thing, I know I do an Irish car bomb and I'm like, oh, that wasn't what I thought it was. That's Guinness and stuff, right? It's Guinness and Bailey's, I think, usually. And this one was Guinness and Jameson. And I was like, well, they made him with Jameson. Yeah, but like it's supposed to be like split, I think. Like it's supposed to be. Oh, it was no Bayleys?

There was no bailies. Oh, that's tough. And like, I was, I've done a fair share of drinking in my day. But like, when you get surprised with something that you like, like, like, if you drink a, pick up a water and think it's a water and you drink a Sprite, like, no good. You're going to. Oh, what the hell. It takes you. It takes you for a ride.

Like, whoa. And I, I was like, uh, nope, that's not going to sit. Well, I'm going to go throw up right now. Like, it was not a like, oh my God, I'm going to puke. It was like, I have to get this. out of my body because so Saturday night blew a motor but last night did not blow a motor and it's probably been

quite a while since I've blown a motor with the exception of Saturday night yeah dude you are a dirt bag man at Hooters Hooters and then he was staying at the Great Wolf Lodge with kids everywhere I'm staying there doing the YNCA and the Macarena when you're trying to check in

I walk in so I got back I probably got back at midnight on Saturday night and they had like the lockdown time is like 11 o'clock at the Great Wolf Lodge apparently. And I like how to use my key to get in. And the key, the Great Wolf Lodge is a wristband. It's so like I'm not wearing the wristband. I just have it in my pocket. I like I like get in. See you the water part. I'm going to the elevator. Like I walked by the desk. It's I'm the only one in the place. Walk by the desk and the lady's like, sir, sir, where are you going? And I'm like, I was thinking. I was about going to my room. Like, where the

fuck do you think I'm going? Like, I was like, ah, this, it's awkward enough that I'm in this hotel with like any cat ears and stuff. You check in, they're like, sir, are there any kids with you? You're like, no, it's just me. Not creepy at all.

Keep an eye on the fat ball headed guy. He may be up to something. I need an unlimited past. We just, we just, sir, I was going. I'm selling candy. When I, I landed, uh, Friday morning, it was like 9.30, 10 o'clock. I went there and they're like, oh, yeah, we can't

check you in yet. Do you want to use the water water park? And I'm like, I'm going to pass. I'm going to go to the racetrack. Thanks. You know what? I just picture. You've seen that funny meme that's out lately where that big dude jumps on that water side and goes way up to it. That could be. What do you try to say? That could be you, honestly.

That guy's a lot bigger than I am. I didn't say he wasn't. Are these short conversations between calls? Yeah, let's do that. God damn, you know what old Bubba did? He slammed that skittie pedal down and let that Toyota eat like my mother-law, the buffet line. He drove that 4 to 5 like Jordan. I'll just come back to her, taking all the names of beating all their asses.

He didn't come to Kansas, baby, to run second playoffs. Never heard of that dumb b***. He was just coming for those tick of flags and slept that tobacco out of those rednecks mouse. Yee-how. That's pretty good. Love it. Hey, who do they, are they calling you? Yeah.

They call in their voicemails. Did you get the one? There's one where I'm on it. Did you get that one? Oh, I don't know if we. Ben, did you hear that one? Whose phone is it on? Somebody's like, Freddie, I'm on reaction.

They're calling to like a service. Yeah, they call to a service and leave with the day. I just, I should have been like, Ben, pick this one. Anchor FM or is it still anchor? Don't tell this idiot. Anchor.com. Anchor.f.m. We'll have a call for him every week now.

We'll play it. Congrats on the dub, Freddy. That's awesome. I'm drinking a beer for you right now. Jason, I mean Reddick. Sorry about your flat tire. Yes, I did mean to say Reddick this time. And I am the one who mistaken Reddick for Jason. Oh, that's the guy. Back in May.

No shame. I've been drinking since noon. I was probably cross-time. I saw y'all. Happy my family and friends got to enjoy me being Idiot of the Week. And just let me know where to enter my shipping address for the Idiot of the Week Award. so I can put it up on my wall. Can't wait to join Rick Ware Racing and that wind called. Oh, that was

classic. We didn't go to Danny's this weekend, but it was, that was, when that guy, the look on his face when Tyler said, yeah, so in qualifying, I ran the top and he's like, Qualifying, what the hell's he talking about? Is that not Jason Schultz? And I was like, no, that is not Jason Schultz. Close.

Paul Tyler. Paul Tyler. Yeah, I just got a question for no. Just wondering if you ever figured out what Jab meant by beating the dog Goddia. And also, did he ever deliver on that promise of said dog beating? You know we've used that saying on the show a lot, but we've changed the dog food. Yeah, we've changed the dog food.

No, but they are starting to get carburetors from JRM for the 27 car because he's cleaned them off the top of the middle. like three weeks in a row. So you're saying he's right the dog food out of the car. I wouldn't give him too many without making sure they pay for him because they're a little behind over there. Yeah. Ouch.

It's only the truth. I honestly don't even like see. The only time I've seen Jeb was when we were passing him for the lucky dog on seven cylinders. Charlotte. Charlotte. Yeah. That's what I was, right?

That was a dog food. This is why people love this show. This is shit right here. This is it. Hey, let me, let's go back. That race, seven cylinders was incredible. Like, where did you finish third or fourth or fourth? Fourth, yeah.

You beat me. He beat everybody but two guys. We were on seven cylinders. And then they were like trying to check one of the spark plugs. And then we were on six cylinders for the second stage. And then we got a caution and then put it back out, it was, and ran on seven cylinders, got the lucky dog. Now, through some, what I thought was one of some of my most clean racing, sliders on Jeb, and they were pretty fast on the straightways. We were good through the corner running the fence, and I did like a slide job and stuff.

And like, I think through the corner, like up against the fence, I was like 10 miles an hour faster. than anyone like we were hauling ass. We just didn't have the speed down the straightaway. So I'd throw a, dude, like a fat slider on him. Like, getting a three every time. And like, like, it wasn't dirty at all. Like, there's some way. He didn't use them up.

Yeah, like, I was like clear. You were clear. Yeah. Could you imagine being in a car that's not damaged and on eight cylinders and a guy that is on six cylinders passing you? He'd be mad. Dude. So he like jacks me up like after the second time.

He pushed you all the way down. I'm like pushing me. And I'm like full crambers. on the second, like, kink down the front shirtway to the right, because he has me, like, jacked up, like, wrecking. Did you flip him off? And, uh, yeah, I'm, like, flipping him off, like, crank to the left. And I'm like, dude, like, come on.

So I go up to him after. I'm like, what the, what the, you got to do that? I'm like, what the fuck's wrong with you? I think you had, like, two in there, so don't worry. Have I said it already? No, you're good. Now it was the first one, I think. And so I'm like, what's the deal?

and he's like, you race me dirty, you're taking away all my, you're taking away my line, I had a lift because of you, you about to run me in the fence. Just like, just straight up like South Boston. That was a great, no, Jim Berner. And so like, and then someone caught the best one line. Dude, I'm on seven cylinders. So am I. He tried to tell me he was on seven cylinders and so, yeah, it's a little drug out.

His seven cylinders is a lot faster on the straightaway. Yeah, for now. Good impersonation, by the way. That was a great. Can you say, I'll wreck the dog? I'll wreck the dog. I'll wreck the dog. out of you. That needs to be people's ringtimes.

Was that close? That's something like them? Yeah. Identical. We do impressions of like... Ben. Bord and stuff like that, too. Bartender Ben. All right. All right. All right. We'll want to stop Bill. and I'm glad that you found my lap because I've got something to say. Piano player. I've got a mistake for the haters. The nasty haters. I thought there was going to be more lyrics to that. I did like. We've never had a piano player on the show.

He was so well put together. Was that Elton John, you think? Yeah, probably. He's a big, he's a big friend. He's a big guy. Elton John called him. That's nice. All right.

We're here to tell you about the most honest, unfiltered, and informative IndyCar podcast on the market, Speed Street.

Dirty Mo Media's newest show is available now on all major podcasting platforms. And be sure to give us a follow on Twitter and Instagram at Speed Street Pod. This first question is for Noah. I can't wait. Let's see if he hears it. It is time for the AskDBC Offerpad question of the week. Send in your questions on Twitter each week using hashtag AskDBC and we'll pick the best ones. This first one is from Mike Star 14.

Why does Noah throw up after every race? Noah, do you have an answer to this? You're talking about me throwing up, but who does you throw up every week? Yeah, I know. He also wins. I think I have like a medical condition. So it's Freddie. So I actually had a friend of mine in the medical industry send me a message.

Yeah. And they said if you chew gum, it will make you not throw up. Really? Because you're holding your breath and it's making your something to something another happen. I'm not a medical guy. Yeah. No shit. I played one twice.

I have like bad heartburn. So you need some juicy for it. You got like acid reflux? Yeah, bad acid reflex and like indigestion or whatever. The funniest thing that happened last week was Alfredo saying that he ran the back of so-and-so because he was dry heaving. And somebody tweeted, they're like, well, Noah throws up every week and he still wins. What's your excuse?

Yeah, I don't know. Like, it really started happening. It was actually Darlington of 2020. That first race back after quarantine, we drank like a case of white claw every day. Allegedly. Allegedly. We had nothing to do, so we would just go hang out

at a different person's house every day and play beer pong and drink a whole case of white claw. And I don't know if the seltzers burned a hole in my stomach, but I haven't been the same. I know what that's like. Jason, you peeped in the truck series. Jason needs another white girl. I did.

Yeah, I think that's from holding my breath. And I remember in Martinsville the first time. What? I don't want to know. The Martinsville, I remember your first win in Martinsville you threw up, like, behind the soft wall or something. That's from like holding my breath and doing big ass for a house. Can you chew gum and drive a race car at the same time?

I don't mean talent-wise. I mean, like, if you're worried about choking on the gum if you wreck. No. Okay, well, let's try that. Let's get a juicy food deal. I used to run, eating a lollipop, pulling a scissors. Like, not afraid of. And gum.

You're not supposed to run holding scissors. We need to get Brandon McRennels and get us a chewing gum deal. Yeah. That would be pretty cool. We need a chewing gum deal.

Now that Brandon... Let's see if it works. Because if it works, just think of all the people that wouldn't puke when they get nervous. You get double bubble and have to unpack and do one every 13 seconds. Hey,

listen, man. I want to see him do big league chew. Oh, so good. It is good. That would be badass. Or it's either that or the one in the roll where you can just pull off and rip it off,

you know, in the car. You could get a roll up there. The tape. Bubble tape. Bubble tape. Oh, dude, I've eaten that whole. Oh, yeah.

The whole thing that I have. No doubt you have. Have you ever done that? No. Not at once. I mean. Dude, it is so much gum. You just like it.

So Big League Chew has like great flavor, all sorts of stuff. The gray one's really good. The gray's my favorite. Yeah. So you. Chew me a deal. It's coming. Can you get it in?

Let's move on to the next one, which is from Zoom Buck 80. What's the worst hangover you've ever had, Freddy? one specifically is for you. Columbia. Go ahead. Next. Can you go into more detail? You went to Columbia two weeks ago. I did.

I made it. I made it. I survived Columbia. I will go back. But that was... That's why it because you got there. The city, not the country. My 21st birthday, I pulled the toilet out of the floor.

And it was a flood. And I was really sick for two days. My 30th birthday probably beat Columbia. Me and Rob, Brett knows what my best friend Rob. He, we, we drank a lot. And I have a picture of me passed out on a pool table. And I don't really remember a lot of it.

So that was probably my worst hangover. Hangovers do hurt worse as you get older. The good thing that Brett saw me, which I'm following this, this method today is you cannot be hungover and drunk at the same time. So if you just stay drunk, you can't get hung over. And then just weed yourself off. So,

slowly. A bunch of water, go to bed early. You come right back later. Noah, TJ, any hangover stories? No one doesn't drink.

You just said you drink a case of white cloths of day. That was 2020. Those were a virgin white cloths. I don't, man, there's so, I would say some of the worst hangovers were, where whenever Red Bulls start coming out

and we start mixing it and you just drink Red Bull and vodka like all that. Well, the worst part about Red Bull and vodka or Red Bull and whatever was like you'd be, fased and then you couldn't go to sleep and you're just like it's so bad. You try to lay down and you're like I can't on sleep. Congrats to who are you giving it to.

Which everyone, hey, you know who was at the racetrack this week? Michael Annette. Brandon DeCock was at the racetrack. I didn't get the chance to see him. Michael was there? Michael is listening.

He listens to DVC all the time. So Michael, love you, buddy. Good seeing you. Yeah. Did he have the beard going on? No, he had no beard, but he has a mullet now. He looked really good. Nice.

That's awesome. Somebody sent me a picture and I'm like, I don't know who that is. And they're like, oh, that's a net. And I was like, okay, good, good. Because he, but he had the long, scraggly beard. He didn't look like him. Because he's never had his hair long. That's a hockey type guy right there.

Oh, that's a hockey guy. He looked Almish. The picture I got it was in that damn. It was in the muff class of group. And I was like, who is that? And they're like, oh, that's a net. And I was like, okay. Okay.

No, he looks like the same. Now he's back with long hair. I wish I would have saw him. Who's the other guy? What? Oh, Decoq? He sends a guy that sends a question. He sends questions every week and his name is Brandon DeCock.

So, Freddie laughs every week. You have to, the guy's name is DeCock. You can not laugh at it. I'm sorry. Make me a 12 year old. I apologize. That's pretty hard. But it's B.

DeCock is his Twitter handle. So is he's still going to win the Coff Pack? Let's give him. I wonder if he's been on a cockaboose. Oh, there we go. You missed it last week. Can we please keep this show going? All right, we got to keep going.

I saw about cocky and the cockaboos. The only reason you like Columbia again is because you didn't get there early enough to make it a bad truth. That's probably true. All right, Mike, you are the winner of this week's offer pack correction of the week. It's time for us to get to our favorite Expinity X-Fi more than fast moments from this 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?

TJ, you go first. Ooh, some good ones this week. Man, I got to just give it to that winner that Arker race. No, I'm just kidding. Oh, Corey Heim, great job, buddy. You know, I'll let, Fred, do you want to take yourself? Do you want me to give it to Bubba? No, I'm not taking myself, so you can give it to Bubba.

I'm going to give it to Bubba. I don't know how you can't hear because Bubba drove up there past, you know, drove from the mid-pack back up to the front and got to lead and checked out, man. So it's a statement win for Bubba. He's earned it and deserved it. So I'm going to go ahead and give Bubba my X-Finity X-5 more than fast moment. I'll give mine to Noah. He was kind enough to come on the show.

He got his fifth win of the year. Give you a biscuit. Fifth win of the year. Shared his biscuits and gravy. 10th of his career. 10xfinity wins is a big freaking deal. I never thought there'd be a day. I see he even know his biscuits.

I didn't either. He makes damn good biscuits. Good job. but man I don't know how you don't have Noah Gregson is the favorite to win the championship right now. It's him or Algar in my mind and I know Ty Gibbs is fast. I still think

he's probably in the fastest car but J.R.M.'s on fire. Algar is tough at Phoenix, man. That's the thing. You're going to have to settle up and lean on him for some information. I was going to give it to Noah because that restart was fairly sexy. I'll give you that.

I will give it to John Hunter. that the end of that truck race played out like it really couldn't have played out a lot better host of ours on a completely different strategy trying to save fuel trying to make it to the end eight tenths a lap slower he was just he had he had to be because he when he pitted he's probably saving fuel i was probably he was probably five laps short at least because we talked about doing and we didn't do it and and and i was surprised he made it as long as he did really it's a good thing you ran out before he got back to the line so he used it all Yeah.

Yeah. Like that was, that was, I mean, that was their only hope. Like, they weren't going to point their way in. They got closer than I thought because Eccas was making some mistakes.

But, you know, they, they, that was their shot and they came up one lap short, essentially. So, but I'll give it to John Hunter.

That would, chasing a guy down like that's not easy, especially going through traffic and, and, you know, trying to just haul ass. So I'll give it to John Hunter for making a last lap pass for the win, the truck race on Friday night.

Noah, do you have a more than, moment. He's going to get himself. I am giving it to myself, but it's not from Saturday. It is from Sunday. If you go look, I know you guys aren't really factual. You just go off. We just like to give you a factual stat is the number 16 car was the fastest on pit road entry and getting got you got to the line. So by a half a second. Wow. So that was a mistake on your part. You probably blew the entry and just luckily got slowed down the time. That's pretty good.

Half a second is a ton. Yeah. That's a lot. I had that thing all sideways and I almost wrecked the shit out of it. Like I said, it was... What was freeing any doing? Was it counting you down? I thought I was speeding.

Did you? Yeah. You're just waiting. So, like, talk about a driver state. So you do that, right? You go to the first section. You get your pit stop. When you leave Fed Road, are you just sitting there waiting for the key up?

Yeah, you're going to have to come back to me. 16. So you gained a half a second on entry, but your roll time, you probably gave it all back. Well, no. No matter. Win's a win. It's a win. It's a win. We got one penny right there. Stack and pennies. Stack of pennies. But that was cool. I saw that this morning. Thought it was a typo, to be honest. But it worked out. So that was, that was, that was, that was, might not mean anything to anyone else. I mean, that's, honestly, that, Bubba made up a lot of time, I think, on exit up the road.

And you might be able to talk about this. I swear this was the fastest. Kansas is a different kind of exit because it kind of crowns. It's like usually you want to get. Off camber. Yeah, it's off camera. So you usually want to get to the line, like leaving. Uh-huh.

But this one, you kind of want to short it, right? Yeah. Distances like you. Because like it kind of the camp, the way the racetrack is, it kind of leads you back out to the line. So you kind of want to shortchange it and then cut as much off because if you go out there, you're going to end up either blowing the blend line or or wrecking or spinning out.

I was 32nd on exit, but my entry was good. Good. Here on Doorbubbub Clear, being more than fast as a way of life.

Oh, man, I hate to go here, but I'm going to go here. If you did not want Bubba Wallace to win yesterday, I'm totally fine with that. Because I grew up almost despising Rusty Wallace. I didn't want that guy to win no matter what. But if you didn't want Bubba to win because he's black, you're a piece of shit and you need to go somewhere else.

I saw a lot of tweets yesterday from prominent people on Twitter and from people that are just losers. And I'm like, man, you guys need to check yourself. So I am going to give my what an idiot to everybody who hated on Bubba Wallace for winning based on the color of his skin. That's who gets my what an idiot. Because that ain't no room for that. right now.

I never mean for. I had a laugh at all the, I mean, why see it every week? I mean, it's Bubba can tweet that he's giving somebody a million dollars and somebody's going to tweet out and then he's a scum back for not give him two million.

I'll take a million. But like the people that were the train was yesterday, Kurt gave us his car so we could win. I'm like, it's the same car we ran the last time. We were there. Like, whatever. I don't really, I don't know. Go ahead, TJ, because I got to think about what an idiot.

It's probably myself. thrown up on Saturday night. Oh, man. Caught me off guard here. I was daydreaming there for a second. Obviously. Yeah. Never done this show before.

My one idiot is TJ for not getting the fuck out of my way. That's my wood. So Freddie's standing not near me, but I see him looking at me like, well, you tell him to get out of my way because TJ's too down for me. Next thing you know, Freddie did his signature move. He'd come around and he put his hands right front of TJ's eyes as Brad was going into three. I was like, see, but the thing about it is, we were on the bottom and three. the whole time you ran the top.

I just needed the top of both lanes. You had four lanes. You should have used them. I mean, hey, you know what? I learned from you at Richmond. Yeah. Noah, do you have an idiot for the week?

No, I don't. I try and stay positive. I like it. That's a lie. I don't like to talk like these guys on people. I feel like everybody's trying their best and sometimes they make mistakes.

So I do not have a, what an idiot. I like it. Thank you, Casey. I don't like, I think the rest in that Alabama game were idiots. A couple plays. That's safety. Was that not a safety? Or they had the over.

The quarterback got tackled in the end zone, and they called it roughing the passer, targeting all sorts of stuff. There's everything but a safety. Yes, it was ridiculous. But, yeah, I don't know if I have a big one this week. Well, you already said it. I actually do have one.

Oh, let's go. The staff at the casino and in the restaurants. I just want everybody to be happy. What do you think? I mean, I knew when I saw the look on your face when we saw you in there, you're like, you got reservations? We're like, yeah, you're like, must be nice.

So you won the race, but you couldn't give the table. There's like 15 open tables of 25 tables and 15 of them are open and they're like, no, we ain't got room. It's going to be an hour and 45. You won the race? Every single, that is a shit. You didn't tell them.

You should have told them. Excuse me, do you know who I am? No. Do you know who I am? But, like, it's like, holy shit. Like they had like three people working. And I get like, it's not really the people working's fault. But it's John Papa Georgio.

Nick Mac, Nick Papa Georgia. Nick Papa Georgia. Noah never seen that movie out here. He's too young. All right. Let's move on to DVC picks. Race winner Freddie also won DBC at Kansas with Denny. I thought I had Kyle Busch all day yesterday.

So I'm proud I took Danny. Brett leads the standings with eight. Jason's in second with seven. Freddy's and third with six. T.J's in fourth. with five. I'm in last with three. If I would have listened to Reddick, I would have one. If you would have listened to me,

I told you who to pick. Okay, whatever. I mean, I basically had that. Let's make picks for Bristol. Brett, you get to go first. Everybody that I've picked so far in the playoffs is wrecked. So I have to go with a guy who doesn't care about stage points. All he cares about winning the race.

Kevin Harvey. Happy. Happy how old is it. We start to play off. Kevin Happy Hobbick is my guy. So I called in reinforcements because everybody tweeted that me. Who did you call? I should have listened to Reddick and then Reddit texted me saying you should have listened to me. So I asked him who to pick this week.

He picked himself? He either said Chase or Logano and I kind of want to save Chase for later. I'm really sorry. You suck. You don't need to save anybody. You're probably going to win. You got three ways. You got to say.

Honey, I don't know if you're last. see your last. Why don't you do us all favor and leave the good guys? Fine. Fine. You know what? Why you pick Cody Ware? I'm going to pick Chase. I'm going to pick Chase. And Tyler has already said, I said I might as well start to go fund me for this dinner that I'm going to have to pay for.

Tyler said he would chip in for dinner if he'll pay. Don't you love Epic? I love Epic. So it's fine. I'll lose. Tyler's going to help me out with dinner and he'll join us. He's got to come to dinner. I'll pick Chase.

He said he's coming to dinner. So I pick Chase. Why don't you pick like Smithley or Cody Ware or something? Yeah. Yeah. I'm going to get shot. I'll pick Chase. Jason, who you got?

Kyle Bush. I'll take Kyle Larson. Oh, you son of a. Freddie. I don't know who I'm going to take. I was going to take Larson right there. Blocking you still. Yeah, still blocking me.

I will take Christopher Bell. Solid pick. Noah, who you picking a winner race? Cup race. Ty Dillon. Who are you paying the win in the Exfinity race? No, not me. No.

Do you guys have Expendity? No, we don't have an Xfinity. Yeah, we just figured me that. Exfinity? I mean, I think. You say not you? You don't like Bristol? No, I'm horrible there.

I don't know. Sam Mere probably. No. You think? He's good there. Like, he's actually pretty good there. Hey, Jason, before we leave, we got to give a shout out to DeRosa.

Because I ran into him at Big Al's about, I don't know, a month or two ago. And he listens every week. I know he's a big supporter of you, Noah. So we got to give him a shout out. I mean, this dude is awesome. He is one of my favorite people. I mean, I don't know you want to talk about him at all. But shout out to him, because I know he's going to listen, especially because we have Noah.

And so I just had to give him a shout out. Well, thank you also, Freddie, for actually showing up and only having three beers during the course of the show. I mean, it's only. Other words, congratulations she means. Yeah. Appreciate it. Hey, big shout out of Noah's coming on. I've been after him for a while.
