The following is a production of Dirty Mo Media. No good. By one. Don't ever drive, man. It'll come to you. You're a fucking idiot if you think that's right. Like that just because T.J. planned it that way. Ball three, one of the eight.

Outback. You come in top here. You come and keep up. Bottle three. Model three, wax. It's hard to get lost. I mean, seriously. Might be the dumbest thing you've ever said.

Door. Bopper. Clear. Clear. Clear. Hey, everybody. I'm T.J. Major.

the six cup car this weekend. Also, I had the 41 truck and the 88 cup car. 88 cup car. Now, the 80, yeah, it's lack of sleep. You're off a good start today. It's not Freddie Curtis. I spotted for Bob Wallace. I don't know who else I spotted for this weekend.

I know the feeling. I was still in Nashville. It's early morning. TJ took 30 minutes to get his Zoom set up. So we're doing pretty good so far. Hey, guys, Kesey Boat here. I am, I would think, maybe in a little bit better mood than the other two. But I'm glad we made it.

Brett, Brett, Brett, Brett, of course. Everybody's doing good. We're just not cool enough for him again today. Didn't show up. So, you know, wherever you are, Brett, we miss you. Maybe. Oh, you don't. Not, not in this tone.

Anyways, we are back from Nashville with, after a race that might have taken about six hours to finish. But at the end, Joey Lugano gets the win, finally locks themselves in the playoffs. And I want to know what you wrote. Great, grand, fantastic.

Is the sarcasm? What do you think, Casey? If you remember, I was pretty close to the cut line. Well, you never know. Over Zoom, it's hard to tell your facial expressions. I mean,

You should have known that by the point standings. Yeah. How in the world did he, I mean, was he just slow? How did he save so much fuel to make it to the end, unlike the others? That's what Gabehart said. Gayard said he saved it because he was S-O-L-E-S-L-E-Slow. And I don't know how he did it. Is that how you spell slow?

No, that's how Gabe Hart spelled his tweet out. Oh, that's awesome. I don't know. What a disaster. What a disaster of a race. I mean, I know the whole race, but the finish. Yeah, I mean, it got really messy. For some reason, it got, we couldn't go green.

And it was, I don't know why. I know we go back to the old saying that cautions, breed cautions, but oh my gosh, it was just people running over each other every restart. So, yeah, I mean, we went, we were three laps down and we were one more from being in the lead lap. I would say, would you get a top 10 out of that probably? Almost. We made a lot of spots up.

I think we got back to 25th because of this guy's reckoned. So I don't know why just the way is you got to slow it. down so much for turn one that it just gives everybody opportunity to get there. You know what I mean? Like you have to, it's a big short track. So when you got to use, when you got to slow down that much for the corner and people can get to you, it makes, it makes all that possible. Yeah. I mean, you look at the end of the race and I haven't gone back and look, TJ, you could probably look at S&T.

But the caution that came out for Austin Cindrick sounded like him and Noah Gregson running into each other back there racing for God. knows what probably 30th. And that brings out the yellow. We're all already pushing the fuel windows. Like we had to pit on that first caution because we were going to run out at the checker flag essentially. But it's just, you know, that goes on back there and you don't, you're, you ruin the race for, I mean, you ruin their race, you know, Cindrick and cracks or whatever the hell they're doing

back there. You've got so many guys that were running the top five at that point. Ty Gibbs gets wrecked. Denny's got a pit for fuel. You know, Ross gets wrecked. All these guys that were in the top five are going to have good days. Their days are rude now because these idiots in the back are running over each other and have no regards for anybody else on the racetrack, essentially.

You know, but it's just then what happens is everybody's pushing a fuel window. So now, you know, you have another wreck on a restart. Well, now there's guys running out on restarts twice, two restarts in a row. The guy directly in front of us ran out of fuel. So now we were in really prime position, I thought, to maybe win the race even. and, you know, Larson runs out. We're restarting sixth on fresh tires. Everybody else, we got a little buffer to the guys on tires,

or fresh right sides anyway. And I'm like, man, we're actually in pretty good shape here. Like, we might have shut up this. Larson runs out. And, like, two guys get, you know, three or four guys go by us. And I'm like, damn, all right, we get back up there to about sixth again, sixth eighth, and Chase runs out directly in front of us and drags us back. And that's how Reddick got around us.

And it's just, you know, once you get to that point where guys just run, everybody's willing. they're not going to pit. You know, they're just going to risk it. And that's why their cautions kept coming out is because guys are running out of fuel and scatters on restarts. So it was just, it was just, I mean, what we end up running like 30 extra laps? It was pretty. Yeah.

That and whatever guys that were getting, having to pit for fuel or, you know, get sent to the back to have fast cars, they are definitely in a hurry to get back towards the front as quick as they came. and they're not lifting for basically anything. So it's like throwing gasoline on a fire at that point. Everything's all, you got guys trying to save. You got guys on new tires that are 100% go now, and they're behind them. And then, you know, as slow as we got to go, not that it's slow, but, you know,

we all can't make turn one without lifting. So they just drive in there, until the other guy breaks and they use them as a break. Obviously, it's not something that NASCAR can necessarily mandate. I think if you were in their shoes, would you guys have tried to risk it, like a Dennyham one, Kyle Larson and at the front run out? Or is there something that they've done wrong?

I mean, I can't imagine NASCAR can really say much at this point either. No, there's nothing NASCAR to do about it. And you saw, you know, eventually you got to throw the towel and gave all, you know, I think that, you know, they were, they were close to make it to the end on fuel. And I think that Gavehart, I think, said somewhere I saw where he said he had one green, white checker in them. I think they did maybe two. And then they just, you know, they didn't want to get their car wrecked. At that point, you think the more guys are going to run out, which they did.

So it's just, you know, it's just the, it's, you know, what it all costs, like we always say. And that's what you put your stuff. And these guys are just willing to risk it and hope they got one more lap of fuel in them. agreed. Well, something else I want to cover before we had in the spot-on, spot-off, I noticed on the broadcast they were talking a little bit more around how NASCAR is being more strict around pit stops and pit road in general. And I know there was, at one point, Austin Sindrick got penalized for a fan that was on the pit wall, and it seemed like it was providing an advantage

towards the car. What do you guys think of that? Is that fair? I just happened coming out of the red flag, I assume. I did. I don't know what the hell happened. I heard him get a penalty for,

I heard him get a penalty for whatever. I don't even know what they worded it as. But yeah, I don't, there was just fan pointing at his car. It was a fan sitting on pit wall and I guess it looked like it was trying to cool down the car,

which NASCAR was. wasn't too fond of. We don't, like, our teams don't make many mistakes. And if they were doing, if there was a fan pointing at the car, it was for a reason, probably. I don't know. It seems a little tickey tack, but I'm sure they have, where I haven't, I don't know what the wording is. Bob can call me tonight and tell me what the wording is on the, on the rules about fans pointing towards cars during rain delays.

But, yeah, I mean, that seems a little tiki tack. their penalty calls this week were interesting to me. You know, you've got Lane Riggs gets the first rough riding penalty I've seen in a long time during the race. And I, you know, that was a direct result of how long that had been going on for, I think. Me and T.J. were standing next to each other getting a kick out of him and Stephen Parsons, just trying to absolutely wreck each other for like six laps, it seemed like. But, yeah, I don't know. Like, you see that penalty for reckless driving,

and then Carson Hossamar goes and hooks somebody down the back straightaway under the yellow, and that's not a penalty. So I don't know. I'll talk about that one soon, don't you worry. I don't know. I don't get it. TJ, what do you think about that one? Yeah, I mean, I guess with you, I guess they were watching the same thing.

Me and Freddie were watching the whole time, because I don't know if you just look down and see it happen right then. I don't know. I don't know if they just saw it then or they watched the whole time and thought it was a little too far because those guys were leaning on each other pretty hard.

You know, and sometimes, I mean, I don't think Stefan was trying to lean on lane as hard as he was, but at these tracks like this, when you get on there and you lay on a guy's door as hard as he was, the guy's going to get loose and he's going to hit you. you're, when you get out of there and do that,

the guy has no control over his truck at that point when they get that close. And you make your own luck in that scenario. And, you know, even if the role's reversed, if Stefan gets on Lane's door that type, Lane's going to get loose and he's going to need a little room to correct his truck. So I don't know, you know, it's kind of self-inflicted whenever Lane goes on there and gets that close to him and Stefan's got to save his. truck and you know the whole excuse well if you're so loose don't drive down there well the only reason

he got that loose is because you're on his door that type and you don't if you want to get yourself wrecked that's the way to do it um you know you don't have to be you know i mean they were literally rubbing and at the bottom like there's no room to do anything um so but then just to come back and and wreck a guy's truck um because you know that happened i don't know if like I guess they're trying to, you know, send a message that's not acceptable. Interesting. All right. Well, let's kick off spot on spot off, shall we?

Let's. We shall. Spot on, spot off. Spot off. Spot off. Spot off. Spot off. It was super fun yesterday to ride around, Mairn.

I am spot off. Damn. Where did he come from? We saw a total of five. overtime attempts at Nashville, which was a new Cup series record. With how much carnage we saw, NASCAR should limit the number of overtime attempts. Spot on, spot on.

Pretty. This is not, this is never a popular answer with our crowd. I don't know why we have green white checkers. Don't do it. I don't know why we have green white checkers, period. If the race is 300 laps, it should end at lap 300. That's just, I mean, I don't know. That's the way it's always went.

you know the yellow came out it's over i get it it's not the most entertaining finish but then you end up with if you don't do that you end up with what we had last night we're just millions and millions of dollars of got torn up because we can't figure out how to restart without running each other over um so i mean i i i don't know i'm just me being my typical old man yelling from the yelling at the sky uh traditionalist but if the race 300 laps it's that's it's it's it's if you maybe one attempt at a green white checker. But this is what happens when you have unlimited attempts. We just unlimited, we just have unlimited wrecks running each other over.

So that's where I, that's kind of where I've always been about it. And that's where I'm still at. So to save yourself a few tweets from people who will argue against ending under yellow, I mean, you'd be fine just ending in the yellow. What would yourself be? Yeah, it's the Daytona 500. It's not the Daytona 512 or whatever we end up racing. Indy 500, you know, they're throwing red flags to make sure they get a one-lap shootout in for the Indy 500,

lap 200 or whatever, you know, it is. So, yeah, I don't, it's not popular. By no means, it's not, and it's not exciting. It's not the most entertaining way to do it, but respect the distance of the race. T.J. Yeah, I see both sides of it. I just know it's never going to go back to the, It's never going to go back to the where it ends like that.

So in my opinion, I think that it should be unlimited, but this is the Cup series. And these guys are supposed to be able to take care of each other enough and have a great race back to the line. You know, and that's what this is built for because, you know, the fans want to see that great finish with the top two guys. like we saw at the end there. But the problem is, you know, like last night, the guy in 18th and 19th were wrecking each other and taken away from that finish. So, yeah, I understand the end on the lap, you know,

the distance of the race, but I also think that, you know, the Cup series should be unlimited. 131 laps last night. 31 extra laps. That's got to be a record. It's got to be a record. It's 31 laps and probably, I wonder how many millions.

I wonder we eclips the 31 million mark. So take away all of the green white checkered attempts and they ended it under the first yellow. Do you think fans would have thought it was a good race from that point on before it? I mean, I don't know who thinks. that, you know, again, it's, it's, there's a fine line between entertaining and good, I think. And that might have been entertaining to watch at the end, but it was pretty embarrassing for

where I was standing. Um, you know, it's, we can't, it's amazing that we can't, these are supposed to be the best drivers, you know, the best drivers in the, in the country. And, and we can't get, and we can't get two laps in for, for five tries. Um, it was, it was, it was, it was not our, not one of our finer moments. There, before that, you know, the race, I thought, was okay. You know, it wasn't, it wasn't great. It was kind of hard to pass. But there was room to move around and find some speed somewhere.

But, you know, it was just, I was, I had a bad day, so I'm maybe on a bad movie. Nobody noticed. I have no idea. DJ, do you think it would be considered a good race without all those freeway checker attempts? Um, I thought it was a good race, you know, before that. and I do think it got, I mean, it got carried away. There's no doubt about it at the end. When you, you know, it's okay to go in there and maybe have a guy overdrive the first little bit

and maybe hit a guy a little bit, but when they're just driving over each other like they were, you know, in the second half there, second half of the field, it's not, that's taking away from it. I mean, when you're not, you shouldn't have to look at the, watch the leaders race and then look back here to see the, the, guy in the back of spinning down through the grass. You know, if they're, you know, if they're going to get together, it should be what, the top two, three or four or whatever, coming to the start, finish line, you know, but it did get a little, it got carried away at the end for sure. Next topic.

In the second overtime attempt, Kyle Larson turned Ross Chastain, sending him to the wall and directly in front of Kyle Busch. Bush was passed by nearly the entire field since he had to come to. to almost a full stop to avoid the contact. NASCAR then gives Bush back his fourth place spots in that third. It's overtime attempt. Spot on, spot off, T.J. I don't, this happened twice last night that I saw cars.

I didn't see the eight wreck or getting involved in it. I don't know. Did you see? How involved was he in the wreck, Freddie? He was, he was directly behind Ross. It was Ross's Rick, right? Yeah. It was one of them deals where Ross spun up the hill in front of him,

and Kyle basically came to a crawl to stay out of it. He was in the wreck. He was on DVP. If that counts. Yeah, I mean. How can you be on DVP and not the wreck is beyond me? But they, I mean, even if, you know, even if a guy runs into your bumper when you're selling down for rec,

you're on DVP, though. So, you know, I can understand. And I can understand Kyle more because Kyle is just missing the wreck. And if he gets bumped from behind, you know, I don't feel like there should be a penalty for a guy that's if you're doing what you should be doing to miss a wreck because later in the race, and we'll talk about it later, it's going to come up in a segment. Kyle was doing the right thing. Now, the other one was the nine. And he like he was the reason for the caution. He is literally doom bugging down through the front grass, the front stretch grass there.

And I don't know how you give them. I mean, he came out pretty much at the back of the field and the one. And that's where he should be. He was the reason for the caution at that point. And I just don't know how you look at a guy spinning out through the grass and he gets it straight. And he, you know, and you throw the gosh for him and he comes out, like, I don't know how that happens. I got a kick out of that one because. the nine you know he was he rightfully so for him you know the nine tries he's immediately driving

back up to where he feels like he should be and the tower is like nope now get no stop the nine where is he going get back here you know get back there where you belong and then uh correction nine you're good behind so and so here he goes passing 10 15 cars again uh yeah i don't know i hate what's it interesting him spinning out in the corner and going down spinning down through the grass. You know, if he starts spinning out when he's leading the race and he saves it and they throw the caution for it, you know, does he just get to drive back up to the lead if he's leading? I mean, where does this end? You go where you blend. You go where you blend, but I didn't realize that counted for the grass. You know what I mean? Like, I thought the blend was like where you come back up

on the racetrack and get in line. It seemed like they put him wherever he continued to, you know, he kept his pace up through the grass as he's bouncing down the front straightaway. It seemed like He got credit for being down there. Like, you know, that's where it's... Yeah, that's... He's out of balance wrecking to me at that point. So where he blends to me, which was pretty much at the back, is where he should have been scored at that point in time.

I don't know... I don't know how that one worked out. The deal with the eight, we got a text, the three of us from a former series official. And he had the... He was thinking of all my lines. He's like, I almost really hope the eight would have won last night so that they would have had to explain like, this guy's in this wreck.

You gave him all these spots back. And now it turns out he wins the race. You know, the world probably would have burned at that point. But it was, it was just, it was not that hour. I mean, it was actually an hour, I think, right? I mean, when that green white checkers start, it seemed like took forever. And that was, that was one of the more embarrassed. hours of my spotting career, it seemed like.

All right. Back on this topic, because I feel like we could go for a while on it. Carson Ossivar got into the back of and turned Harrison Burden around under caution, but was not penalized by NASCAR. He should have received the same penalty as Lane Briggs during the truck race when he was parked for two laps for dumping step in persons for reckless driving. spot on spot off Freddie

I honestly think the penalties should be worse you know like this is what guys get suspended for right hooking people you know under green

I couldn't believe that there was nothing you know I just I see you see and we talk about this Dale's talked about this with caution flags

different race directors call things differently different series directors call things differently but I mean you just right turned the guy under yellow, like in front of half the field.

I don't know what the hell led up to it. I thought I saw like a big block on the backstretch from Harrison. It's, yeah, Harrison over the radio said that he blocked him on the backstretch in that way. Yeah, I saw like, you know, Harrison, they got up there messing with each other. Harrison, I think break checked him a little bit. But at the end of the day, this guy turned somebody under yellow. And not only did they not give him, you know, not there was no penalty, none. It never even got mentioned on the radio.

So I don't know. I don't know. I don't get it. I'm going to be nice. I need that picture. Jay sent me last week with the chalkboard. Is this something that could potentially come up on the Pouncey Report? I think that comes out on Tuesdays?

Maybe. I don't know. But, again, I don't know why you don't do it in the moment. You know, it's right there. There's a replay of it. They showed it on the big screen. I assume they showed it on television. You've got it right then and there.

The guy, right hooks the guy under yellow. Nothing. I don't, I don't know. T.J. Yeah, this is two weeks in a row that, you know, he was, he's been so on a such a good path, you know, has had a lot of speed. And, you know, coming into the Cup series, he was arguably the top spider car for a while, you know. He had a lot of speed, was looking good. And then, you know, last week at Loudoun gets a left rear flat and brings the caution out at the end of the race there for himself.

It goes on in a three, just throttles up, start spinning out, immediately spikes a brakes to get a caution to save himself. And then this week, you know, the 21 did throw a big block on him. But, I mean, Denny threw a big block on Bubba. and you know which I think it probably costs Bubba more than it costs you know Carson at the time as well but I don't I don't know all that aside the caution comes out and one car goes up to another car and just turns him on the straightaway and he could have taken out he could have taken out other cars with him he could have turned him into the wall I don't know I don't know how this is acceptable well I guess we'll find out on that tells your report um Moving on, Denny Hamlin and Kyle Larson battled on track at the end of stage two, and Hamlin voiced his displeasure with Larson on his radio. After the race, Larson had this to say. Yeah, he was just upset with the way I was racing him at the end of the second stage.

But it's racing. Denny says that there's not a rivalry between you guys. Do you agree with that statement? I don't know. I mean, I wouldn't agree or disagree. It comes and goes. I feel like, you know, we race well together at times, and there's times where I feel like he races me, you know, not the fairest, and I'm sure he feels the same way. So, yeah, I mean, it's not an ongoing rivalry, but, you know, there's definitely, you know, weeks and stretches where it, you know, compiles. But, yeah, hopefully we can move on from it soon and, yeah, I can get a little bit of respect from him. I don't know. Kind of seems a little bit like a rivalry. But I kind of agree with Kyle, though. It kind of plays out during the race.

I don't think they start out each race with, you know, I can't wait to hurt his race today. I think when it naturally forms on the track, they just race each other really hard. And, you know, sometimes one of them pushes a little bit too hard and there's contact. But that's just good, hard racing between two guys that are really good to me. Yeah.

I mean, it's, I don't think it's a rivalry, but these just happen to be probably the two championship favorites. I think if you, if you had to set the odds somewhere right now, they're the, they're the, seem like the two fastest guys every week and week out. They're always in the front. They're always racing each other. Oh, and they're also very good at putting you in a bad position. So when they do it to each other, you know, it's, it's, you know, frick and fricking frack.

They're going at it. I don't know. mean, they're going to race each other hard. They're always going to race each other hard, and then they're both going to be annoyed by it. So I don't think either one of them's 100% guilty, and I don't think either one of them's 100% idiot. They might be 100% idiots. I don't know, but innocent.

But yeah, they're just, you know, they're both very good at putting you in a bad spot in the cleanest way they can do it. It seems like, like, you know, TJ said we had a pretty big run on Danny, and he just kind continue to move up until we were you know we he threw like a really late block and took our air off our nose and you know it's well it is what it is i mean i don't blame them this is the way you got to race now um but yeah they're they're both very bad part of the corner yeah yeah for sure it's a really bad part of the corner so yeah and listen they're both really good to what they do and they know exactly where to put you they were you're in a disadvantage and they're in an advantage

so when they do it to each other that it's you know it's almost like uh reverse psychology you're you're I think three moves ahead because you know this guy's going to put you in a bad spot and how are you going to combat it. And it's just, you know, sometimes they cross a little bit of a line. But, I mean, I don't think that they by any means can't stand each other or some kind of rivalry. It's just two really fast race cars that are going to find themselves a lot every week. As he gets closer to the playoffs and really the championship, is there something that maybe the teams should enforce to ensure that they're, you know, be smart rather than trying to No, I've seen one, I've seen one, I think it was Gabe Hart, a quote from Gabehart again, that was like, you know, quit the grab ass and we're going to win the race, you know, like stop around, you know, you got the best car, you're going to win the right. Denny, I thought Denny was probably the best car. Bell was obviously really good.

But, you know, it's just, you know, all right, that's it. Knock it off. Don't, you know, I think, I don't know if he actually ran into him or not, but I've seen him go up there and, you know, swore at him or something after the stage. is over. So just like I said, it's not going to end by any means. This is going to continue for probably a long time. All right. Well, Bronsieke a quick break. We come back. We'll head into

I'm sorry. The green-white checkers has to go. Oh, the fans can't see a racing and yellow. We gotta keep this going. Drivers could clean up their act, and maybe things can improve. The green-white checkers has to go. That wasn't me. Seemed pretty. I thought that was... He still... He still watched, though. He didn't have a choice for the cost of his marriage.

Guys, what the fuck was that? I've been sitting here, drink, I drink like a 12 pack of beer at this point, sponsored by Bush Light, if I might add. But what the fuck was that? And Lugano gets to win? Why the fuck this? I don't want Lugano to win. Get him the fucking out of here.

What a nightmare of a finish. Everybody's running out of gas. It's just a fucking nightmare, guys. Have a great day. I'm going to go drink another 12-pack. I didn't want Lugano no one either. You really got to appreciate

how good Lugano is at saying stuff. He saves enough fuel to win the race and he saves his heroin somehow. I don't know how, but he was able to do that too. That's tough. Chase Briscoe, we told we got delayed in three hours it seemed like last night. He was going to come on today.

I was going to get asking about that. Like, are you going to go? knowing you're going to go like the shave it off route and then just rock the ball or you're going to go to lagano route and grow some new hair uh but yeah poor joey wow what a race you know gas prices are too high when you have that many millionaires sweating making life decisions at the pump and man i think denny hamlet has never wished that that toyota of his was an actual Prius more in his life traitor always said I don't know how you run out of gas

they give it to you for free that's actually accurate well I've started like a NASCAR years ago back when real men drove the race cars they're all these ducks being kids

they're all idiots they want to wreck each other all the damn time and none of them are man enough to get out and fight and here we go we got the double

douche bag Wednesday tonight I wish somebody to hit him between his damn eyes

fucking Joey like gone all the piece of crap anyway I like there back in the day

when Erhard and Del Jare Terry Laboney those guys you know back when the real men raced

um she's absolutely ridiculous it's the way these guys race anymore it's constantly spinning each other

out running each other high None of them are man enough to get up. Probably going for another camera and cry about it's all they do. He just, he didn't seem like a Logano fan. I don't like, I just, I was getting that impression. Yeah, hello, is this Mr. Hosevar?

Mr. Carson Hosevar. Listen, buddy, this is Billy from the Nashville County Fairgrounds. I'm looking for somebody to drive my demolition derby car for those. upcoming fair, and I've seen the way you've been running people over all year long, and really your whole career, I figured you'd be great at the derby and thing, man. I'm not really sure you're too good at this NASCAR stuff, just because the point ain't to hit people, buddy. But anyway, man, just give me a call back, buddy.

Yeah, I mean, he probably would get into a derby. Poor Carson. I felt like we were turning a corner with Carson. I felt like got in the Cup series. he was starting to get run good, get people's respect. And now, like you said, DJ, this is back-to-back weeks where it's like we're back to square one. It's all about him. It's it.

Oh, my God. I'm so glad that NBC is featuring the six team on the broadcast because, TJ, oh, my God, you look so hot. And that cool shirt makes me want to give you that hawk to us. Jesus. Newfavor. Hey, tell Tamil to stop calling the hotline, please. Next call, please. Jay, you could have probably done a better job at these calls.

No, this is perfect. I was not a fan so far. Okay, in the moment reaction, showing this race during the Ringoet is infinitely better than showing last year's race or last week's race, this is how it should be every time there's a rain delay. Well, what did they do?

They showed the first stage, first in up to the red flag during their delay. I don't have a problem with that either way. No, I thought like it was almost smart to keep the consistent. And then they had to shift to USA because of the Olympics. But, I mean, that's, I feel like that's fair.

Hey, Ty Gibbs, you got a new sponsor. He got you. Ha, ha, ha, ha, go seven. That was a weird deal. I don't want to ever accuse our buddy Justin to doing something dirty, but they were having an issue right around then on the radio with, like, volts. I sound like he was maybe having a battery go bad or something. He was worried about his bolts and probably needed a caution, and then he got a caution. So that was interesting.

The timing of it was very coincidental. I don't have that at times. Those are some solid calls. It's safe to say that everyone is Team Freddy at the moment, so I can't wait to say. I didn't, there didn't seem to be many Lugano fans in reaction theater this week. I don't know. The Blaney fans show up, the Blaney fans show up usually, but I guess they're not, they only have love for one guy in their heart over there.

Seems like it. All right, we'll keep those calls coming. Just use our number 704802-9572. Consumer Cellular is the official wireless partner, Brad Keselowski, RFK Racing, and the number six car.

Should NASCAR be less stringent on what brings out a caution with each subsequent overtime attempt? T.J. I felt like they were consistent. If somebody, there was a a wreck there was a caution so uh and you know you know all race long i feel like it was the same even even with the um there was a couple cars that spun down through the grass in the front stretch that

probably didn't need a caution um but you know it's not like one got and one didn't so i think it was just how the race was called and i felt like it was called you know we probably didn't probably didn't have to have them, but it was consistent. I've said this a thousand times on here, and I'll just say, he'll die on. A caution is a caution, whether it's lap 1, whether it's lap 500, whether it's a fifth cycle, whether if it's a caution, it's a caution. You can't, you should not call anything differently based on the circumstances. It's a, it's a caution flag for a reason.

If there's something out of the track that warrants people, it puts people a danger or is a dangerous situation, throw the yellow. It's not an entertainment flag. It's not, you know, oh, we need to re-rack everybody here and try this again. Uh, I, you know, one restart. I think it was the second or last one because Logano was leading. Like, we were a quarter of a straightaway from the white flag and we threw a yellow for a guy on a wreck that was in like last plates, it seemed like, but, you know, a caution is a caution. That's the way it always should be. And I'm never going to change my mind on that. This next one is from Tom. Do any other great drivers mess up as much as Kyle Larson.

He's a generational talent, but man, he seems to do it quite a bit. Freddy. Man, there's one other guy that I think of when I said, I've said this on here before, who is one of the nicest guys in the garage and one of the most talented guys in the garage. But Bell makes a lot of mistakes also. Bell, you know, Bell had, I thought, maybe the best car yesterday, him and the 11 were the two best. going into the race. And then I looked at me,

like I didn't go back and look at it, but it looked like he was, you know, they lose track position, petting and now he's mid-packed and, and ends up spone out. And it looked to me, like he just got,

he was in middle of three, right, T.J. And, and lost it. He was a metal, yeah. And, you know, that doesn't happen.

That kind of happens, I don't want to say a lot, but it happens more than it should, it seems like. But, you know, Larsen, same thing. You know, you get so focused on, look to me,

like that deal, he was so focused on pushing Danny down in a one that he just got arrow tight and lost the nose and it just kind of went up and clipped Ross and ruined his day but yeah those are the two ones that you know they're just all out all the time

TJ yeah I mean that's just how that's how they race that's how that's that's just how those guys are every driver has different characteristics on how they drive and, you know, some guys are really good at running really fast laps and other guys are really good

in long run stuff when tires fall off. And then, and just like qualifying too, you got guys that are really good at qualifying. You got guys that, you know, like when Matt Kenseth won a championship, Fredo,

if I remember this, I think his average qualifying position was like in the mid-20s, but he won numerous races that year because he just wasn't very good at qualifying. So, but he was a great race driver. He was able to put races together and utilize the strengths. But yeah, those guys, um, they definitely make a lot of mistakes, but they're definitely exciting. I mean, they're super fast. They're on the edge. And, uh, it's what makes, you know, racing exciting. One question I had on that one. So when a driver runs out of the fuel, is there like, there's like a light that comes on, right? A few drivers mentioned it right before.

Yeah, you're low fuel light comes on in Casey. So, Larson mentioned What? Casey, he's kidding. There's no lie. Well, no. Larson mentioned that his car

typically would, he would receive a notification when he's low, and he didn't receive any notifications, which is why when he restarted, he didn't know how like he was out. Does that? Does that?

I don't, did they really get a note? I don't, do they get notification? There's a light. on. I feel like it said, they said it on the broadcast. They definitely heard, like, he said it on the broadcast. So I wasn't sure. That's why he said that he didn't know, have any warning. I always, DJ, I always, I mean, I don't, maybe I'm behind the times. I always thought our notification is when it stumbles. You bet. I think they get a, I think, I think, I think there's a fuel pressure warning when it's really close, you know. Yeah. I'm guessing that's probably what it is.

I don't, I'm not 100% sure on what indications they get. I know at the end of run sometimes whenever, we're close, it'll be, you know, we'll tell them, you know, it's on you when you know. So obviously there's some sort of, there's some sort of indication because you're not going to run until the driver stumbles. You're going to come. There has to be some sort of, I think it's a trigger of like when it gets really close and you better come that lap.

So I think that's what we're looking at. Learn something to her today. I could be completely wrong. They might have a low fuel pressure or a low fuel light. I don't know. He definitely said it on the broadcast that he did not receive any warning, which he expected to. And somebody else mentioned it as well.

This next one is from Murray. Congrats, T.J. for making the broadcast yesterday. How much of a difference did your cool shirt make? and where can I buy one? T.J.'s famous. Well, I mean, big surprise here. I think Freddie gets to be, I think Freddie is going to fill that camera up next week. Is that right, Freddie?

I have no idea. I don't know. I think Netflix told me that. So, I don't know. You know. It was, uh, the thing you ever said, DJ. Brett's not even hear the compliment. I learned it from Kevin.

I learned it from Kevin Hamlin. But, uh, yeah, uh, it was a huge difference. Um, and it was a huge difference. And, you know, I think, uh, it was brought up a lot this weekend. Um, probably had probably had way more attention than what it needed to have. But, you know, like, so after Texas last year, whenever, we sat there and baked in the 100 degree heat, you know, I started looking at researching ways that we could find, because we have no shade. Every track but one, is that right, Freddie?

Yeah. Every track but one, we pretty much have no shade. And you just, it is what it is. You just sit up there and bake. We're all used to it for, you know, but there's rare circumstances. You know, we've all learned that the roof at Nashville is one of the worst and hottest roofs there is. It's probably the hottest roof we go to and looking at it. But Texas last year, 100 degrees, we're up there 10 o'clock in the morning, maybe 9 o'clock in the morning all day.

And, you know, you're just trying to keep it so you're not, you don't wear yourself out. It's just baking in the sun. I mean, you go out to the beach all day. You sit in the shade. Imagine going out to the beach all day and just sitting in the sun and you can't move. And you're just there all day. And you can't get in the water. There's no, I mean, you can't.

there's just nothing else to do. So I started researching ways to, you know, try to stay cooler and came across these, these sharks that a guy makes and a company makes, and they just plug into a little cooler that you keep ice in. It just circulates the ice water through it, and it makes a big difference. And, you know, me and Herm, I was glad we had them this weekend.

Herm told me after, you know, Saturday night, we get back to the hotel. and normally after a long day like that, Herm, uh, Herm's up there and age a little bit. So he, uh, he likes to get back to the hotel and he, uh, probably kicked, probably throws on murder she wrote and goes to sleep, you know, and, uh, he's going to kill me for this. But now, Herm, uh, Herm said that's the best he's felt after a Saturday,

you know, a long day on the roof on Saturday. And I was the same way. I mean, you don't feel as drained. You don't feel, um, it's wore out. And when the race started yesterday, I noticed after like the first stage, I'm sitting there. Normally we're just dripping in sweat. You're just, you're dying. And I mean, I was, I was cool.

I was like, not, I want to say I was cold, but, you know, you just felt good. And that's what the purpose of it was, you know, for is so you're focusing on the race and what your, what your job is instead of just, I mean, there's times up there, Freddie, and you can probably match for this where you're just. just so hot. You're just, sometimes you're just like, good Lord. You're just, it's hot. So found a way to do that. And I found a company. I think it's, you can look it up. It's Paragon proinck.com. If you want to check them out, they make really good products. And we're going to continue to try to work on this and make it, you know, continue to evolve it. And maybe, you know, if it's going to be 90 plus, I'll probably use it. So really, really glad to have it. And and looking forward to using it down the road as well.

So are you going to put Paragon on your shirt and say, like, you get... Sponsor, Sponsor, plug. Use TJ for 20% off. You're next order. Freddie, if you want to place it, go for it. It's probably very little chance I ever wear one. And it's great, you know, I just don't feel like carrying their extra shit on the roof with me. But listen, it was somebody shot it with an infrared gun.

There was 168 degrees on the roof. Like DJ said, the walls are black, the ground's black. It was, it's, it's hot. You know, and credit, I will say credit to National Super Speedway, SMI people. They, they had coolers full of ice and water and then another cooler full of ice and towels for us to kind of soak ourselves with. So I can't, I can't make my own cool shirt. I just douse myself in ice cold water every, every chance I got. Yeah, well, hey, this, you guys all, and I bring my own cooler, my, I've got a little backpack cooler that I bring.

They brought these, these, what do you guys? call it sweat towels or whatever, uh, that you dip in the water like you said and you put it on your neck. It's also the cooler that has the water they're bringing up there. No, there was there was different floors this week. Nah.

Yeah. Dude, you guys were all, you guys are all going back there and dipping those rags in the cooler with the water after you've already been sweating on them. Not the one. There was two different coolers. I didn't, I mean, I went to the one with the rags in it and there was no water in that cooler.

It was just rags. and then there was a cooler for water. But I get what you're saying. Like, a lot of times them guys do that, like, they'll go back and dump their sweaty-ass towels in the water cooler. And you're like, you're ringing it out, dipping it in there, getting it wet again. And you just had a line to do that. You guys are all going to the same one. That's disgusting.

That sounds great. Hey, listen, whatever it takes to stay cool. Yeah, I mean, it's better than falling out. Yeah. All right. Well, don't forget sending your questions. on X each week using hashtag AskDBC. We're going to take a quick break when we come back.

It is time or what an idiot. Summer's finally here when I'm thinking of summer plans. It's hanging out by the pool, barbecuing on the grill are best of all sports.

All right, DJ, feel free to kick things off. You, that's your intro. Do you not like that? What? I mean, she tells me breaking that you started talking. Yeah, you were the, I mean, obviously. Hey, it was your, TJ's, let's go. All right.

So, you know, the first one I'm going to go with is, is pock rass for grilling Brad about the cool shirt. It must have been a slow news day for Bob. But, you know, and, you know, trying to figure out how it was expensed. I mean, dang, Bob. I mean, I'm right here. now or something? I know. Geez, Bob.

You know, between that and it's hard for me not to go two in a row on Hosevar again, but that's, you just can't be, you can't write hook people under caution. You sped up to get to him, you bumped him, and then you hooked him. I don't, like,

last week you're spending out to bring a caution out for yourself. Quit. Yeah. I had to, one, the first one's Brett. Poor Brett got thrown under the bus this week about. Clint Boyer saying he's never seen SMT data from his spotter before.

I thought it's pretty comical. I'm really, I was actually shocked to hear that Brett hadn't been pouring over hours and hours of SMT data and relaying that information to Clint. I figured that's what he was doing at home all the time. But apparently not, I guess. But I think my one idiot has to go to. the poor 74 Xfinity team that showed up to Nashville and failed tech three times and got a DNQ because they couldn't get their hard to go through tech.

I don't know. That can't happen. You know, you spend all the time and money to come here in the race and don't even get a chance to go on the racetrack and try to qualify it. So unfortunate for them, but I think that's where I'm going to have to let my award sit for now. All right. Well, I feel like Brett gets an honorable mention for anything, so I'll call him my one-knit for missing the show. I think he's flying right now.

I don't even know where. He's going to Rochester for something. God only knows what. Oh, that's right. He did say something about that. Again, like I told you, I never saw him the whole weekend, DJ. You said I was going to go out the last time. Yeah, I mean, I'm, I didn't, I mean, I thought I would have crossed past him at some point.

Where? Yeah, we never saw him. You don't go to bars, so wouldn't you? Brett B. T.J. was never going to see it because Brett would, well,

yeah, I mean, they don't, they don't line up. TJ will go to bars and Bray won't go to the race track. So,

I mean, yeah, that, that's actually very true. We did run into one of our buddies there, Bernard Pollard. Oh,

that's awesome. Yeah, it sounds good to see him. In the Allies suite, he's still trying to hit me. Yeah, we, I thought he was going to hit me.

Shout out to a, buddy Tim Dugger for coming and bringing the rain again. He played the pre-race concert and left and flew to Munich, apparently. And every week he shows up, it rings. He came to Wilkesboro. He was in town for the Wilkesboro week. He was playing a couple shows. And I don't think he played the whole time he was there.

He was supposed to play like three shows, a couple somewhere at a Walmart or something, and then play at Wilkesboro. And I don't think he played the whole time he was there because it rained every day. So, yeah, shout out to him. I did hear one thing, TJ, newsworthy. I think we're going to run option tires at Richmond. I heard they're going to have, I don't know if Jordan might have talked about this last night on the tear down.

But the sounds like we're going to kind of run with at Wilkesboro. There's going to be maybe two sets, I heard, of option tire, which is softer compound. So maybe that might work out well. And I think if it works there, there's no reason why they won't do it at a place like maybe Martin'sville. Why don't we just run the option tire all the time? I don't, you know, they're still probably not ready to commit to it, I assume.

But at least, listen, maybe it'll, the problem is the crew cheese are smart enough that I think we'll all probably end up on the option tire at the same time like we saw at Wilkesboro. But who knows, maybe it'll, maybe it'll produce some good racing and some varying strategies. But I heard that yesterday,

heard the schedule's coming out. Next week after Chicago. I heard you may see the schedule maybe on Tuesday or Wednesday of that week. No surprises. Bowman Gray, Clash, the playoff races we talked about. I heard Mexico City's not done, but it's close to done. So that might be the only hang up, but I assume we're going to go there. It'll probably get done.

You want to fight each other the weekend before? Yeah, let's just throw punches. Me and you, we'll start a go fund me to pay for the fines, and then we'll get a week off. That'll be perfect. I'm sure Brett won't be on the... I can't remember what the hell else. Oh, 21's got a driver.

Oh. Yeah. Oh, yeah. 21's got a driver. Provide some hints. Stuart Hoskyi, which I think everybody knows that Stuart Hosk guys are the ones looking.

I don't know how many hints I can give. Is it one without money or one with money? Without money. Interesting. Yeah. Well, I guess we'll find out soon. I'm sure Brett is already volunteering to go to Mexico. Yeah, I don't be interesting to see.

We're going to, I can't wait to see Brett in Chicago this week. I see all the fans gather around him. Shout out. I know. Shout out to our friend Spotter, Julie. Got us hooked up with some tickets to the Cubs game on Friday. So we'll be there. I think, I think, believe it or not, Casey, I think T.

J might even hang out with us. like it's a possibility tj's going to leave his hotel room and like going out in public i mean i don't think he i think he leaves his hotel room i think he just only goes to the track yeah that's it pretty i don't i don't know if you've ever figured this out yet but i stay in a hell away from you and brett i know we've talked about this whenever i'm at the track not friday you're coming with oh that's awesome that's because my dad's going home i mean i got a chaperone so yeah yeah Well, Brett, I'm looking forward to Chicago, though. Yeah.

Looking forward to Brett getting to Chicago and actually coming back. And, you know, I think last year for everything that was thrown at that race, it ended up being a really cool event. And I hope, you know, looking ahead this week, I hope all them concerts get to happen for people. And it has the atmosphere that it started with because in the beginning of the weekend, last year, the atmosphere was incredible. and it was really cool and I don't think it got to finish the fair shake that it deserved and I think if you're in the area

it's going to be a cool it's going to be a cool event to go and check out there's lots to do there's plenty of places to stay and it's going to be an entertaining race these guys most of them are not street course racers and there's going to be some mistakes and I do think they're going to start figuring it out more and more.

The more times we go somewhere, the better these guys are going to be. But the race is still going to be good. I think, you know, the weekend's just shaping up to be really eventful and fun. Yeah, you know, I looked the other day and I think the weather looks better, obviously much better. Like you said, it'll be interesting to see how it goes. But I'm looking forward to it. It's not supposed to be a thousand degrees, which is going to be nice for a change. And God, let's just pray for a note.

rain. I'm so tired of rain. Freddie, from your schedule rumors, have you, did they confirm Chicago's coming back? Or is that? I don't know if it's confirmed, but I think they still have a year left on their agreement. So I think there's at least three years. I think there was, I think we have at least one more year.

So hopefully they have good show this week. And, you know, we can go back. I mean, we can hopefully go back. The city of Chicago is awesome. You know, the downtown there, we stay. We walk back and forth to the track every day. It's like a mile. Yeah, the access was really, like everything was, I don't think it could have been any simpler than it was.

You know, laid out, the truck drivers all getting in, the us getting into the track, getting back afterwards. I don't think anything, I don't think it could have been any simpler. I did hear that one thing that we probably should have thrown in the What an Idiot part. was whoever last night, whoever closed the gate that we all go through to leave. Did you hear about that? It was open when I went through. Yeah,

they closed it, not long after. We got, so they waved us through there, which this is how they told, they let the team got, the team people leave a certain, you know,

a different route and you have to have, you know, a parking pass or a credential or whatever. And last year, that's how it, everybody did it. Well, this year, that's how it started whenever we got there. But apparently they closed it not long after we went through and said, you know,

no, not anymore. So that's not the deal. No, everyone leaves from the garage. It was unexpected. And I don't know why because Freddie can vouch for this. You get on that road. They got it set up for traffic just to go that way. like they have the road blocked at certain areas so people can't go back that way and they have it set up for leaving that way.

So I don't know, I don't know who made the call to close that gate, but that was probably a really bad call. Not ideal. Moving on, congratulations to Freddie. You won at Nashville. And we are going to take picks for Chicago. I get to go first. My guy ran out of gas and won. Yeah, I don't really know how this happened.

Did you pick? What? You did? No, I had Bowman. Yeah. You wanted it. I took it before you. Who did I pick?

Oh, that's right. You did. I had it set on that. Yeah. Well, I'll take SBG for Chicago. Oh, wow. Didn't see that one coming. I mean, if I finished last, I get the pick where I want.

All right, so Brett's, Brett's first choice was SVG. So his second choice is McDowell, just going to McDonald. T.J. I am going to go with, uh, man, Tyler Reddick. Ready? Lay up, Freddie, you got no choice. I'm going to, I'm going to, it's a half a layup. Todd Gillen.

Justin Haley. Justin He was bad at Lesser G for the win last year. Yeah, but that, yeah, I mean, Justin's going to be good at a Justin's good road course racer. So that's a, not a bad choice, but he's had speed here lately where he's, he's becoming a, he's becoming a valid option. You know what I mean? Like for a normal pick. You know, kind of like I talked about on here last week, you know, you get to the point of the year where you get a little more desperate and maybe push some limits to try to find a little more. speed and you see they you know they incurred a penalty this week and and they I don't know

they didn't seem to have the same speed in the race that they had you know the weeks previous maybe coincidence maybe not but we'll you know who knows we'll see them moving forward well hopefully hopefully he goes I hope they cheat their asses off this week whatever they got to do it did last week it worked out so well I also want to give a shout out to Zine Smith with his second place run. Super strong. I know I feel like we give him a hard time a little bit on the show. He's had some

bad luck, but glad to see that team up there and hopefully that helps confidence-wise too. You know, at the end of the day, people can be mad that Joey won that race, but Joey obviously didn't have race-winning speed

to, you know, the whole race. But so they played their strategy for that scenario and it worked out, you know, and same thing with Zane and Brisco. Briscoe was, in the first part of that race, he was so far back. I mean, there's no way he was going to be up there.

Next thing you know, he's racing for the, he's racing Joey for the win. So, you know, good job to those guys for getting, sticking out that strategy. And, you know, it's, I know they didn't straight up. None of them guys were probably going to be would have been, probably top five-ish. But none of those guys were going to run top five, probably not even top ten,

without this playing out. But good job to them. That's what you have to do sometimes. It's not always the fastest car doesn't always win. Yeah, I thought Paul called a great race yesterday for them because we're obviously, you know, we're racing them for the playoffs at a time. And, you know, I'm kind of hyper-focused on what they're doing as well as us. They ran really long that first stage, then put two tires on to get some track position.

And I mean, I felt like they were, every time that they was a chance to come down at road, they came out with track position. Whether there was no tires, two tires. He didn't have the speed to always hold on to it. But, you know, it put them in position there for the end. But, yeah, it was, they did a good job. And they were there to win, you know, they were in the right spot. Okay.

I thought Tyler's moves at the end to try to pass Denny or, sorry, Joey, were a little, they were a little too easy for Joey to handle. I think, you know, I think Tyler just committing to the high side made it real easy for Joey to enter in the middle and wash up one lane and there's no way Tyler was going to be able to do anything.

I think, I think looking back on it, I think there's different approaches that Tyler would probably take to make another run at Joey or at least make him cover more of the racetrack. You know what I mean? Like, he kind of went in there and committed to one lane and, you know, I've worked with Joey.

Joey's going to block that and have that. I mean, Joey could do that with his eyes closed. Yeah. Like, if you, I think you know this as well as I do. Like, everybody asks how you prepare for these races. The best thing you do preparing-wise is knowing the tendencies of the guys you're racing. And if I'm Coleman in that situation, you know Tyler wants the top. You know, that's just what he prefers.

That's how he got there. Yeah, you've got to kind of do the unexpected. You've got to change your game plan up because these guys know what you want and kind of where you want to be. So they're going to take that away. And you've got to counteract that with, you know, kind of trying to catch them off guard or do something a little bit more unexpected. But yeah, I didn't get to watch it because we were side by side the last lap. But, you know, it seemed like on the replays just, you know, he kind of committed to the top and it didn't work. Yeah, I guess a little Netflix needed a few more hours of video.

you would have got it. Megan has a one idiot this week. She just told me from behind the scenes here. Garrett Smithley. We went out last night and ran into Garrett. And when I ran into Garrett, he was wearing a hoodie and jeans. Did he fall over? Because you're a lot bigger than him.

No. He had a fucking hoodie on. It's 100,000 degrees here. And he's wearing a hoodie and jeans. I was like, I was like, get away from me. I can't even look at you. So that's Meg's giving out honorary wooded idiots now this week as well. What is that? Why would you do that?

I don't know. I was like, what is wrong with you? What are you doing? Why would you do that? I think he said he was cold. I don't know. Listen, there was, I had, if I got ready early enough, I was going to show up here with it with like a tobogging hat on and like a jacket saying I was still cold from yesterday wearing my shirt. I was going to do that. But if I had probably, if I, if I, I, I, I'd say 400 times I got to ask this week. Do you go to a cool shirt? Where's your cool shirt?

How's your cool shirt? I told Cliff, I ran into a cliff in the garage and he's like, where's your cool shirt? And I'm like, Cliff, if you could imagine how many times somebody has asked me that, he's like, I take mine back then. He's like, I don't want to be like everybody else. So it was just nonstop all weekend long. I appreciate you, idiots, put us in that position.

You can thank Bob. Think Bob for that. Yep, Bob. Bob. I love him, yeah. Anyways, thank you all for listening. If you're in Chicago,

Safe 4th of July. Don't. Don't hold the fireworks and throw them. Please. There's videos that come out every year of people doing that. And I've never done that. But don't ever do that. I have that plan at the moment.

So it should be a fun. Don't. Yeah, be safe and enjoy the Fourth of July.
