You're win. Hey, everybody. I'm TjMajor, Spot of the 88 cup of car, seven Exfini. Exfittity. I do that. I do that see if you pay attention. And Xfinity and the 29 pickup truck. Brett Griffin's spotter for Clint Boyer and Elliot Sadler,

both coming off of top tens at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. How are you this morning? KB. Not a spotter. Oh, you are a spotter. You spot all kinds of things. I do. Like my crew shirts.

You got them and a backpack. People spot you. Yeah, they can't help a spotter. It's because my shoe game's strong at track. Shoe game. I'm going to credit it to the shoe game, the height, the hair, the tattoos, the pretty face. Running up and down pit road 47 times during a race. And the stretching before the race is on it.

Everybody's like, who's Elliot's a PR girl? I'm like, that's not his PR girl. Well, who's she? I can't tell you. Is that the girl in your podcast? I'm like, damn, no wonder you say she's hot. It's like, yeah. That's her.

I tell everyone it's my sister. They know instantly by height it's not. That's funny. That is funny. You guys are back from Vegas, fresh. Yes, what did you do, man? I heard you guys had an awesome hotel right on the strip. We did.

45 minutes away. Lake Mead or whatever that is. I don't even know what that is. It was a resort, right? Sure. It was a standalone resort. Loeb said that you guys had like three restaurants. It wasn't terrible.

It was nice. It was just a drive. Literally, I thought we were driving into the desert. There was at one point. You weren't driving in the desert. You couldn't see anything. I told Tyler, if we stop here and we get dropped on this earth right here, I don't know which way to walk.

Like you couldn't see anything. You followed the power lines. There were none. to the Hoover Dam and then jump. There's no restaurants. There's no gambling. It's like Hendrickson timeout in Las Vegas. Yeah, we didn't.

I mean, it was nice. I mean, I don't do a whole lot anyway. Did you have good meals at your resort? I don't know. I never ate there. There wasn't any food. By the time we get out of the track, I normally stop. We eat on the way back to the track because we get out so late half the time

that by the time you go back shower at 8 o'clock almost. Frequent listener Brad Little of Door Bumper Clear, case can't bus driver. I texted him, I was like, hey man, how's your place? He said, I haven't been with him 30 miles of the strip. It's terrible. It sucks. I was like, that's funny.

That's one way to keep you guys focused, though. How'd that work out for you? I was focused. Yeah. Justin had a hell of a run on Saturday, man. Yeah, that's the first time I finished on the lead lap in the XFidity. This year. The Xenity.

And, yeah. So it was a successful weekend for me. I was super pumped because I got to go home to a happy engineer. That's good. He was fast, man. I mean, he's definitely the best car in shit. We were really good last week. Obviously, all our cars had speed in Daytona.

I feel like we'll come back in Phoenix. I mean, when you take a new Arrow package, you look at guys like Penske who weren't that good last year, now they are. I mean, just some teams of that quicker than others. I think we were pretty good at Phoenix last year. Yeah. I think Justin was really good.

Yeah, he's good at short tracks, man. He's one of the better. Oh, that's where we passed Kyle for the lead on the outside. Then he went down to turn one and just run into us and not just up the racetrack. Yeah. So maybe we should have hit him. The face.

He got hitting the face leader. Oh, yeah. Cup race was crazy. Yeah. Yeah, I thought the race was good. Yeah. I thought the race was good. I thought the stages really added to the pit strategy, you know?

I mean, you had. Yeah. Nobody peeled off this week, though, like, because you go a lap down. Yeah. So you couldn't really do it here. You had Legano stay out, which didn't work out. You had McMurray get two tires, which for him did work out because he actually ended up getting bonus points. I think he finished top five in that segment.

And then you saw other people's things. stay out. Obviously, didn't see what happened earlier when you stay out. Right, right. So. The 41 stayed out the second segment, somebody else.

It didn't end well for them. But nonetheless, man, I mean, it created what they want, which is some change. No, that's good. Those guys were close to the segment,

and they could have possibly, with the right restart, things get bothered up. They get away just a little bit. They might, who knows, man, it's worth a shot. One thing I think it does for guys

who typically run 20th to 25th is the segments save their ass. They make it so they don't get lapped so quickly because it's hard to get lapped. When you look at an infinity race, you know, the first segment was, what, 40 laps, it's hard to get. If you get a lap to 40 laps, you pretty much suck. So this segment stuff, stage stuff, whatever they're calling it. I do think it benefits some of the teams that aren't necessarily up to speed.

And on any given day, that can be a good team, you know. I mean, hopefully it's not ever us. That segment saved Kyle's rear end because he was actually a lap down. and there was actually caution before the end of the segment, but what it did was it gave Kyle the Lucky Dog with the caution, and then with the segment ending four laps later, all he did was take the Lucky Dog, and then he pitted with everyone else a few four laps later.

And he got all that track position right back. He didn't have to go through all the lap cars at all. Because after that pit stop, after the segment end, he lined up with all the guys he was racing. I think it was a good race. I think it was a good crowd. I tweeted this morning. you could possibly want.

You have the two giving the lead away. You have Truex win in the race. You have, you know, Kyle and Lugano wrecking each other. And then you have a fight, right? I mean, that's like a short track Saturday night race at Bowman Gray with five to go. Not every time do you get that on a mile and a half. So I think if you didn't think that's exciting, then I'm sure there's some ice skating or something on another channel, soccer, curling, something that would probably peak your

institute you. Yeah, a ballet, maybe. Maybe. Yeah, I don't know, horseback riding. Those guys. Yeah, those guys playing chess on TV. That gets me going. That gets me pumped.

Especially when they smash an alarm clock. And those idiots that have those remote control robots fighting. Wow. Well, they build their robots, and then they fight each other. Yeah, what's wrong with that? You're in love with a nerd, Kristen, but I don't think he's that nerdy. It's like UFC for nerds, man. He's not like bad nerdy.

It's UFC for nerds. Yeah. Yes. That's exactly what their tagline should be. What's wrong? What about the drone racing? I haven't seen that yet. I have heard about it.

It's intense. Is it? Yeah. Not really. I would like to fly one of them. You know those things? Clint's got a badass drone. Well, those ones are tiny compared to like regular drones.

Yeah, but they're all carbon fiber. Guys make their own chassis and stuff for them. It's like RC car racing. Oh, yeah. It's just like that. Guys make their own chassisies and all that form. and stuff so at the end of them they fly them just like balls to the wall into a net yeah yeah they did just kill it into a net yeah what did y'all doing in Vegas fun eating wear good uh yeah yeah we

went down to Fremont street on thursday night yeah um triple george grill vintage los vegas fremont street Allen actually used to live there he worked for chrysler so he knows the manager of new york new york new york and caesers is Alan really like 45 years old this looks 28 He's 36. Oh, my gosh. No, but anyway, so he took me to all the places that he used to go to when he lived there, so not the tourist places. Yeah.

Yeah. Where'd y'all stay? We were at the Mandalay Bay. Yeah, that's nice. It is nice. It's a lot nice from where Hendrik was at. Well, we could see the strip. It was nice.

Maybe next time Stephen will get your room with you. Maybe. Maybe. But then it'll probably build me for it. Yeah, probably. Josh, you didn't have a roommate, right? He could have stayed with you. Josh stays out late, John.

I don't know if you can deal with. Josh runs hard. Rumor has it. Josh used to work for Miller Corr, so he has. Yeah, he's got the, yeah, he's in shape for it. You can't do that if you're not in shape. Yeah, Josh is well-trained to run hard. We stayed at Cosmopolitan, man.

That place is awesome. Oh, I love it. That's next to the. Are you up or down? I actually want some money. I did too. My buddy Freddie, my buddy Freddy Craft stayed with us. He spots for Orlando Castle.

And we slept in different rooms together. What? And it just means we didn't share. room. I've never played gamble with this guy. When you never gamble with a guy playing crapsure, a little bit hesitant. And this ass-assi proceeds to roll

five times in a row. He makes the points. Boom, boom, boom. So, I mean, he likes. How much did he win? He won, like, three, four hundred bucks. And he was betting small, and I won about the same. But it was, it was really fun, man.

He had a good time. So I'm up, Josh. Josh was up, too. Yep. What did you play? Crap said, are you? Yeah. How much you win?

I think I left with like 150. That's good. Walked up. What are you playing, $10? Yeah. $10 tables. I totally thought you were going to tell me you were up about a grand or something. Just play the hard ways?

No. I always put five on the hard ways. I just did the pass line, paid, and played six and eight. Yeah. We had a good roller, though. He rolled for about 15 minutes, solid. That's good. He kept hitting points.

He made hard numbers? To be honest, I don't want to go. Probably did. Always play the hard ways. Man's the best odds on the table. Did you have, did you go out with any friends? Uh-huh. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. Like who? Uh, buddies that worked for Millicores. No women. So you got free. Free beer. He's on the deal. Oh, man.

You know what? You know what? Everywhere else, it was $10 beer night, so. Oh, man. I went to, I went to, I was really not looking for anything crazy. You know, Thursday night. I had a really late morning Friday, so I go to Gillies. It sucked.

Then I went to Senior Frogs that sucked. Then I found a really good live country band on MGM Mirage at the bar called Losers. So I just hung there. Fitting. Just kidding. It was fun, man. I had a good time. I love Vegas.

Vegas is a good time. But after day three, I'm over it. The secondhand smoke of kill you. Not an issue at the resort. No, because y'all didn't have anybody there with you. Not an issue at the resort. All right, we're going into spot on, spot off. You guys ready?

No. There's nothing to talk about. Spot on, spot off. Cars could be quieter. Spot off. They're race cars. They're supposed to be loud. The millennials are going to ruin the world.

Spot off, man. They want to add mufflers? They want to add mufflers. I mean, how's you going to do it? What's the problem? Electric? What is the problem? The cars are too loud and people want to socialize. So what do you do at a rock concert for three hours?

What are the movies? Yeah. You're going for two hours. You're going and realizing, like, the first time you go, the first time the bass hits it when you're in a move, you're like, oh, that's loud. You know, it's all like, get over it. It's part of the experience. It's part of what exemplifies the speed. I mean, if those things are coming by sounding like crap, I don't know.

Man. Yeah. Yeah. Right. So I went to MotoGP and when I worked for mobile and it's amazing listening to those motorcycles go around. And then the last class is the E class. electric. All you hear is the wind going through.

It's miserable. The tires. And you're like, this isn't. Yeah, it's terrible. It's strange. Michael Walter was the first person I heard bring this up a couple years ago. And I know he took it to the brass and clearly they've been sitting on it for a while. I know that our fan base is saying hell no to this.

And again, we're changing. I don't even know why we call it NASCAR anymore. It's like we need a whole new name for this thing. But, man, we don't need to be worried about how loud the cars are. If they're too loud for you, wear earplugs. You have scanners. You can go to the bathroom and take a break. Just, yeah.

Yeah, I don't think it's part of the hype. That's part of the sport, man. That's why you're saying when you're walking along the fence there in the front stretch and the cars are out there going around, the first time your car goes by, you know, with all due respect, I'm going to play the complete devil's advocate for a minute. If these same people age group-wise, they want to attract so they can socialize,

why don't they go watch these people in public? because these people are five people sitting at a table in a restaurant and all on their cell phones, texting each other and playing on social media. Worry about getting your damn Wi-Fi working at the racetrack. Don't worry about the sound of the cars. These people don't talk to each other anyway. They text each other. This is one of the dumbest things I've seen.

That's even attempt to consider in a long time. Spot on, spot off. Kyle connects on Joey Lugano. Brawl ensues. I got spot on, man. I got spot on for a lot of reasons. The main one is Kyle got wrecked and he was mad. And if you look at Joey's history, it's an issue with Tony Stewart who swung at him.

It's an issue with Kevin Harvick, who was going to swing at him, had two guys not get in between him. It's an issue with Ryan Newman. You know, it's an issue now with Kyle Busch. It was a big issue with Denny Hamill. I don't know if he swung at him, but I think they grappled a little bit. Like, you just keep seeing this thing happen and eventually Kyle gets so mad that he swings at him. Now, here's what I'm impressed about. He ain't taking crap.

He went in there and said, hey, I'm going to man up. I'm going to pop you. Now, this is not Kyle's way. Kyle Busch got attacked in the Xfinity garage. I don't remember where we were by Richard Childress. Richard Childress attacked this guy. Kyle Busch never even attempted to defend himself. And he said afterwards, I'm not ever going to fight.

Well, he's mad and he's going to fight. Now, I appreciate that. but I grew up in a really small town where you didn't take any shit. And if somebody messed with it, you popped him in the mouth. So spot on for me. I'll go spot on. I don't mind. I don't mind the guy going down there if he's mad.

I don't really, I don't think the circumstances for fighting right there were really good circumstances to fight. I think if Kyle has done way more than that to people. and if he wants that, if he thinks a little wreck for fourth place like that, it's not like he just drove in there and hit him. First of all, Kyle ran him low into the corner when he swirred around to miss the two. The two.

Kyle's bed was made when you were blocked him behind the two already. So what would have happened if Joey didn't move down right there? Kyle either runs into the back of the two, then what? They're supposed to run up and punch him? All he hooks Joey in the right rear and wrecks all three of them. And then what are they supposed to do? Run down there and punch Kyle? Yeah.

So when you run a guy low like that, If that's me and the guy runs you low, they're both just trying to get to the finish line. The car wiggled, he came up to a racetrack a little bit, and he didn't just drive in there. He drove it in there until it didn't stick. He drove it in there. It's dark, but then it was just a little bit too much.

I mean, he didn't just drive in there and just push right up the racetrack in. Kyle does run him down, then Kyle gives him room. It's not like he was trying to hold it tight. But, I mean, I don't fault a guy for trying to race. They're coming back to the... They're a race. They're racing. They're racing.

And, you know, the reason I say this is because, you know, I've been leading a race, before and Kyle has cleaned us out and nothing ensued after that for the race win. And if you're going to fight and be such a little baby and I've seen Kyle wreck guys like Brad when Kyle came across Brad's nose at Bristol on the backstretched, that's not that's not Brad's fault. And then Brad gets, you know, he comes off a four and Kyle just wrecks him. I mean, what kind of guy is this? This is a guy that doesn't, I don't even think he knows what he's going to do next. And, you know, that's my only, I don't mind two guys. If you're mad good down there and show the guy you're mad. But it better be a better reason than that, I feel.

These two guys stripped down naked, turned backwards. I don't know if you could tell them apart. They're both really skinny, taller guys to be race car. I was pretty chubby now. Yeah, I did notice that in the picture. But, I mean, they're slim fast. There's all kinds of ways to fix that. But if you strip these guys down and turn them around backwards,

like you could literally say, hey, they're in the same weight class. They got the same reach. Monsters is all about edginess. These tracks are all about promotions, man. I think somebody should pony up 100 grand and say, hey, let them wear headgear, let them put on boxing gloves, let them go out for five minutes. This will be a hell of a TV show.

So what do you think about Joey's response in the interview after the fight, though? What do you say? I don't know. He has that dumb ass shit and grin on his face where he thinks, he's like Teflon. Nothing bothers him. He acted like nothing occurred. And I do agree with you, TJ, that I don't think it was.

I don't think Kyle hit him. I'm not even sure Kyle connected. I don't think he connected. I don't think he was going over like five. Josh a message just find out if he connected, but I never saw Josh. Well, I watched that. I replayed it probably 15 times. I replayed it 15 times and it looked like he connected.

But I mean, Joey's interview, his face wasn't even red. Uh-uh. There was nothing. Like either Kyle has the weakest punch or Joey has the best chan of anybody in the garage. He had like four guys in front of him. My only outcry from all of this that happened is NASCAR leave this alone. Well, you saw Steve O'Donnell's comments today, right? Yeah, but that means they'll do the opposite.

Like, let this lie, man. you royally screwed up the Matt Kansas Joy Lugano thing. We need a rivalry. We don't have a rivalry right now. This sport was built on rivalries. This is a chance for these two guys to grow to hate each other, which only makes the fans benefit.

I hope they wreck the hell out of each other again this week. Man, I mean, like, it's great for TV. And just leave it along. I'm going to tell you what, if that's the way Kyle's going to be, he's going to go down there one time to the wrong guy. well I hope that what I hope out of this is if Kyle's gonna man up

and this is the way Kyle's gonna act when this happens again I don't care who it is if it's a big dude Kyle better go out there swinging otherwise he's gonna be caught I'm gonna go Mark Martin on him well that's the day man like they're you know you see these guys

and some of them look tough and some of them don't it's just like real life Ricky Rudd was a badass and he was only about five six so I mean so does it change is if like Kyle went up to Joey because they're You know,

doors open. If it's Ryan Newman, does he go hit Ryan Newman? That's what I'm saying. I hope this does. And flip it around, is he going to be mad when Ryan Newman comes and hits him? Yeah.

Like, if you're going to be a tough guy, be a tough guy. Don't back down after this. You're setting the tone right here. You don't be a sissy. If Ryan Newman connects on Kyle Busch, he's done. No neck Newman.

There you go. Yeah, I mean, Ryan Newman is like a fullback of the drivers. He looks like Shrek. Yeah, he doesn't have a neck. No. It was funny watching Kyle's PR guy, Bill Janitz. He took off.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Did you see the PR people on Twitter? So Bill Janitz is B. Janitz with a Z 18 on Twitter. And the other PR people were posting like gifts of, you know. Like Muppets running? Forest Gump running and Muppet running. So when you guys watch the video, there's two things that really stand out for me.

The first one is at the end of the fight, Joy Lugano elbows his own PR person and his right rib cage, trying to get his PR person to let him go. That was funny. He's elbowing his own guy. The second thing was, before the fight starts, watch the guy in the gray shirt carrying the plastic bag full of water bottles, trailing Kyle. That's his PR guy.

The minute Kyle swings, Bill Janet, his asses and elbows going the other way. He took off, yeah. Digging. The third, Denny Hamlin, just standing there at the fight. Just watching it with like no facial expression. I didn't see that. Not helping, not leaving, just standing there. Watch it again.

He's just like, dude. Kyle walks right by him. He just, he just, he just, like, didn't even try to help Kyle.

Get nailed by six dudes. Stay there watching. I'm not going to lie. I mean, like, give Kyle credit for, hey, he was mad he went in there

and showed the guy what he was going to do. But, you know, I'm not for, I'm not, here's what mama said. At least tell your guys when you got out of the car.

Hey, follow me. Mama said, if you think you're going to get in the fight, you make sure you hit him first. Because if he hits you first, you might not be able to, hit him back.

So, but that's the way we grew up. Everybody, you know, oh, these got somebody tweeting me, these guys need to talk this over before they start swinging. Man, will you shut up? If they toss, this is a grown-ass man's sport. If they talk, they're not going to fight. This is a grown-ass man sport. These are all grown-ass men.

If they want to act like that, let them act like that. I stayed on the roof of Walkins Glen a couple years ago when I saw, you know, race was over. I was going to run and put my side. I look down there and I see where he can get out. He's walking out. I'm like, oh, yeah, wait a minute. I'm going to stay up here for me. minute.

Pull out your binoculars. This is not too me in playing checkers. You know, you pansy asses. Like, what do you think they're going to do? Knock, knock, knock on the holladour. Excuse me. Can I come in and have a conversation? I'd like to clarify what happened.

Did you tell me why you hit me? No. Howdy-how does it goes? Most of the time, it's all call them this week. Yeah, I mean. I'll call them. Hey, guys. We're only three races in.

And these guys are already kicking each other's ass. Right? We're back to boys. How about it. And the races have been good. And Bob Packers, you need to suspend Kyle Busch for a week?

No, you don't. You need him to be, that's where you screwed up the Mackins a thing. You need him to come back next week and let them go at it again. They're going to qualify right beside of each other. Bob also uses his,

the fight from Texas with his pitcher in it as his background. Right. Hey, man, if you're against it, don't use it. Yeah.

Come on, man. Come on, Bob. I did say this, though, if you're going to suspend anybody, which I hope they don't. Leave him a lonely cup. These guys both run Xfinity. They'll both run a truck race or two.

Tell them they can't run the next six that they had on their schedule. Good. I'm happy about that. Because here's a reality. They don't make a lot of money doing that. Pisses fans off when they do it anyway. Opens the door for other guys to come in there. It opens the door for TJ Majors to get his shot.

Kevin Hamm's coming back with me. We're going to two-car team. And so just leave it alone. Yeah. Spot on, spot off. CMS road course. I have to go spot off on this. I'm with you.

It's not a true. true road course. If we're going to run a road course, let's run Indy. Let's run Indianapolis road course. I mean, that's a true road course. There's no really elevation change, but it's a good road course. It's got the curve. It's got the runoffs. It's got the places. I don't know. This could be, I'm sure it'll be exciting and interesting, but I don't know how good the race will be. I'm spot off because Charlotte is our home track for all teams. NASCAR is built on ovals. I am 100% all for a road course being in the the chase. I really am, which is what this came. Once again, NBC said, we want a road course in the chase.

So this was the schedule's response to that. Now, to TJ's point, if we're going to put one in the chase, put a road course in the chase. Due to one in Indianapolis where F1 ran, you know, go to Montreal. I realize it can be cold up there that time of year. I don't care. There's one in Austin, Texas. Guess what? It's beautiful. Austin. Austin and be good. We have, go to Mid Ohio. Mid Ohio. Road America. Yeah, we have all these true road courses, but the problem is, SMI, and I see on all those dates. So to the point of the whole indie thing, we obviously can't get enough fans in there to watch an Oval.

So let's try the road course thing. Let's do something. I'm totally 100% spot off on this. Spot on, spot off Vegas triple header in 2018. I'm spot on, man. Times two. I'm spot on. What do you mean triple header?

All three series will be there? Both times. Oh, my God. Don't you read the news? Where have you been? I do, but I didn't. I think, I didn't know all three series were going to be. Your buddy Alex Bowman, it made fun of Spotters,

doesn't realize how many hours you're going to be on the roof that weekend. That's too many hours on the roof. So it's triple header for the spring, triple header for the fall, the truck race that used to be with us in New Hampshire, and the Xfinity race that was in Kentucky, that all moves to the fall race in Vegas. I'm actually for this. Even, but we can't be doing the, each series does not need.

40 hours of practice. Yeah, man, does not need it. Here's why I'm for it. I think it's a better market than Kentucky for the Exfinite. series. If I'm a sponsor, I'd much rather be in Vegas than Sparta. Kentucky. Trucks, same deal.

Man, they're out there on a stand-alone with Indy car or whatever that is. That ain't working. Yeah, bring them over to our deal. That would be fine. Yeah, be way better. Man, weather's good. It'll be 150 degrees if we go back out there in September. So, man, we need some shade.

You get on that? Well, we can probably start tweeting about it now. Maybe when they're sure it or something will happen. Yeah. You guys are getting an elevator. At Kentucky? Right? Yeah, apparently.

We weren't supposed to tell anybody. It's not really for us, but it doesn't even go all the way to the roof. It's baby steps. I'll take it. I'm just glad when it works. I'm not going to lie, though, if they could put one of them like, you know those things they put up at the parks? They put, they. A mister?

No, not a mister. They put, it's them like triangular shadow things where they were for shade, you know? Yeah. If they could put a couple of those up, it would be awesome. Awesome. Everything you want is in Vegas. Good food, good shows, good hotels unless you stay where TJ did. Shoe shows, a racetrack. Craps.

What the hell else do you want? Go to Vegas twice. It's a great idea. In a Ferris wheel that I've yet to see turned on. It's just for sure. Have you ever seen it move? You have. How's my face wear you when you're like?

It runs from 2 a.m. to 5 a.m. Josh has seen it. Josh is going, this thing's moving. It goes very, very slow. That's because they put people on. Another person has to get off. It takes you like an hour to get around it. I'm out.

It's like a 20-minute ride, I think, but some of them have bars in there. I don't like. All you can drink for 20 minutes. Oh, really? I don't like feeling like I'm suspended in air. So you've never done the New York, New York roller coaster? Yeah, that's bad. I'm on or something.

I'm not hanging. Like that, Ferrisville thing, you're hanging. I don't like that. I rode that right. Soaring at Disney? Never again. How about a heart attack? That ride is awesome.

If I'd had a panic button to hit, I'd have stopped the whole ride and been like, sorry, you 1,500 people that are on here, but I'm out. Terrible. 1,500 people on one ride? My 4-year-old rode three times in a row, and I didn't. I was like, I'm getting off. I'm out. Spot on, spot off.

43 on Pit Road. Did you see that, DJ? Holy moron. Go around another time. Don't wreck us all on pit road because you can't see your pit road. box and you drive by it. God, did you see it? Come back around.

Did you see it? Okay. So let me set the stage. We're all pitting. He's probably running about 20th. He's pitting in pit stall number four. So he's extremely close to pit exit. He misses his pit stall by a pit stall and a half.

So what does he do? He stops in the middle of pit road. Well, because he's 20th, now everyone is exiting their pit box and attempting to exit pit road. Here sits the 43 ball in the middle of the racetrack. And he just starts backing up, and he proceeds to back up. And he was pitted right in front of us, proceeds to back up. So now he's blocked me in, Eric Jones in, and got us all screwed up. And then he tries to pull in his pit stall, which again, he's caddy cornered, got us completely all blocked in.

We lost response over it. And NASCAR didn't do anything. And here's my, dumb factor of 100. Okay, let's get that out of the way. But crew guys are jumping over the wall in front of these vehicles. And here is this moron. He's putting all of these crew guys that are in these first five pit stalls at risk because he's stupid and they didn't penalize him. That should have been a two, three, four lap penalty.

What's insane. Is there a rule? There's obviously not, and there needs to be. And here's the other thing. Once he's missed his pit box, he's going to come out last anyway. Just go around, go around, and then pit, and then you come out last anyway. So you're not losing anything by actually being one, considerate, and two, realizing that you're going to put these crew guys on my safe. Had he pit before? I will. You will lose a little bit because by the time you come back. background you're going to be coming you're going to be going to be behind all the lap down cars and you're probably not going to beat all of them back out at that point is gray gauding but well at the

worst case scenario that kid needs to stop eating donuts by the way he drives like an idiot go ahead if you are going there's a direct correlation between donuts and idiots he had crispy cream at least just sit there and don't move yeah don't back up yeah just stop we can go around you if you're stop but when you start backing up that causes a lot of problems does his crew chief not count him down like mendering those for elli yeah we yeah we're yeah but Yeah, but the Cuban Missile didn't hear it. Have you ever been, have you ever went down pit road, though, and all the signs and everything's moving and stuff?

No. It's pretty chaotic. It's intense. There's a lot going on there. But again, just don't stop. Don't back up. Go on or just stop. Don't back up.

He ended up finishing 14th in that race, and he could have easily. Why didn't someone kick his ass? I don't know. He could have easily ended up with a DNF or a red turn up race car just by being stupid. Yeah. or it had been on a five-minute clock with somebody else that piled into them. Did you race around Cole Whitt or Gray Gauding at all yesterday? Like lapping them?

The only guy, I remember, yeah, but the only guy that I remember. They'll point the bottom going, hey, you go low and you'll go low, and then they'll just right on your right rear. It won't let you clear them coming off the corner. It's like, what are y'all doing? We're on a lead lab. What race are y'all even in? Are you kidding?

Are you talking about the guy that, you know, tried to start on the front row of the Xenity Championship race? Cole Whit. Yeah, I mean, will you expect what? I should not be. Can we petition? Why are you surprised? I should not be surprised. Yeah, we're not surprised at all.

Yeah. Yeah. All right. The other guy, I mean. Oh, Goulding? Yeah. That's Kevin Hamill's boy. It is.

I go way back. On that note, we're going to take a... Gray Galding's dad threatened to whip Kevin's ass. Yeah. Over something that Kevin tweeted. What was that about five years ago? It was a while ago. Kevin Tisk.

Yeah. Kevin's been in a lot of turmoil. Poor guy. Let's take a break. And while we're on break, let's say a quick prayer for them. At one main financial, we believe in the importance of community.

We're going to go into Fast Lane. I'm going to give TJ and Brett a topic to debate, alternating who responds first. TJ's actually going to go first, and they will get 30 seconds to voice their opinion, and whoever responded first will get a 30-second rebuttal. Kristen, you're very intelligent girl. What is the whole Ostomama-lika thing? Am I doing that right? It's Catholic.

I don't know. What is that? I thought Catholics were Protestants. Uh-uh. Protestant? No. They believe in Jesus. They all believe in Jesus.

Jesus. That's Protestant, right? I thought it was Osse Le Vista. I don't know what it is. That's a movie. That's Arnold. Well, some of our Catholic listeners tweet me while Ashtamama Lake remains. Am I saying it right? I'm not Catholic.

They're Protestant. No, they're not. Is that a lake? What are they? Like, there's Protestant, Methodist, Presbyterian. That's all Protestant. If you believe in Jesus, you're Protestant. I don't know the different sects.

Yeah, we're not supposed to talk politics and religion. We're not talking. I'm not debating that. He just wants to know what the motion is. But I do think that if you believe in God, Jesus, you're Protestant. I think you have that wrong. Let's make a wager. You're wrong, and I'm right.

What can you, what can you shoot that can give you a gluten epipen fit? Tequila. Shout of tequila on this bet. The Catholics are Protestants. As are Presbyterians and Methodist and Baptist. Oh, God, I can't wait to win this and drink and watch you drink some hot. What tequila are we drinking? Quervo Silver.

Okay. All right, TJ, you're going first. You ready, homie? I've been ready. We mentioned this last year, but just briefly, the Xfinity series could run restrictor plates at Indies. What are your thoughts? Amish Josh says we shouldn't run there anyway.

Yeah, I think we should just run the little track in India where the racing was good, and it was exciting. I think you got short track drivers that could go there and shine and make it a better race. This is a great stage. It's Indianapolis Motor Speedway, but no one cares. So I agree with Josh. we actually don't need to run there every year.

We need to run there, I think, every once in four years. They're trying to make the rules package similar to IndyCar, because IndyCar can run around there wide open, and you see what a great race that is. They're trying to make it where Xfinity can, but our cars don't turn left at wide open at 175, 180 miles an hour. So what they're trying to do is kind of a 2.0 version of what they did there last year with a cup cars, and to be quite honestly, it didn't work.

Yeah, I don't. That track just isn't built for them cars. It's not. Cup cars, I don't even think it's really. built for the cup cars, but at least there's the horsepower there, and you can, you know, there's a little more maneuverability with that. But the extended cars,

we need to run shorter tracks with them. We need to go to the little track. You look at, I don't know our time's up, but you look at Daytona, 100,000 people. You look at Atlanta, big crowd, Vegas, big crowd. When you are in the situation that we're in, where we're bringing in, because sponsors want to go to Indie

because it's Indianapolis, right? And you get there, and there's not a big fan contingency present. It's hard to say we're a big deal when there's nobody there to watch us do what we do. So for whatever reason, I think that tracks run this course for us on a yearly basis. We kind of touched on this already with spot on, spot off, but fights on pit road after the race, how should they be handled? Boys have that it.

Brett. And I'm off for the fights on pit road, you know, driver to driver, crew got a crew guy. I don't think a crew guy needs to be punching or kicking or choking a driver. A guy that makes $100,000 a year can't go but one. slamming on an athlete that makes 12 million. I mean, these are the guys that people watch on TV. They're the guys that people, you know, come to the racetrack to watch. So crew guys need to stay out of it until there's the point where they're just actually, you know,

making the fight not get any worse. Yeah, you know, I used to be more on that side of it as well. But, you know, it's not fair for, you know, it wouldn't be right for, you know, a guy like Ryan Newman or somebody or a bigger dude to come down there every week and just build a whale on some other, you know, some smaller guy. So, I mean, I don't agree with all the pit crew guys, but if there's a couple road crew guys there or whatever, I'm not sitting there, they shouldn't be whaling on, but they should be stopping it. But, you know, if a big dude goes out there and picks on a little guy or whatever, just because he thinks he can or whatever.

I'm with you. I think what happened between Lugano and Kyle was fine. I think based on the replays I saw, I think the crew guys handled it fine. What I don't want to see is a crew guy hitting a driver. That's not good. Las Vegas gets two, all three series weekends next year. Does the banquet stay in Vegas? If not, where does it go?

T.J. You know, I would love to see the banquet in Charlotte. It would make it much more adequate and easier to attend for all of us. It'd be, I just think it'd be great to have it in Charlotte, your home place. I'm okay with the banquet being wherever we finish the race. I think we have a major time lapse that is not good for our sport. from the time the champion is crowned on a Sunday night till two weeks later we have a banquet.

And no other sport do you see that. I think Monday night needs to be the banquet for all three series at wherever we're ending. If we're in Miami, do it there. If we're ending in Vegas, do it there. If we're ending somewhere else, come to Charlotte and do it Monday night. But I'm cool with Charlotte,

but also I'm just not cool with how long we wait to do it. Yeah, I would rather knock it out as well. It's so hard we don't have much of an offseason and it'd be nice to be able to get it knocked out and get started. You know, it gives you a little more time. for your family and stuff in the month of December with Christmas and everything and even Thanksgiving.

It's just a momentum of it. I mean, think about yesterday's race. If it ends, if that's the championship race, right? And it ends. You got all this cool stuff to talk about. Truex is one. He's still on a high. You know, these two guys have just fought. They've got to sit at the same table together. Like, we need

to be able to take advantage of that. We don't need to wait for a two-week loll and everybody kind of get over it, you know? The Roush cars seem to have improved power and speed in 2017. Is this just an early assumption or does it stay all year? And I don't know. They're way faster in Xfinity than they were last year. Consistently running top 10 with both Bubba and Ryan Reed. I think it comes down to they got rid of Robbie Riser and that guy was an old school racer had been there for 20 plus years and I think because

they moved him to the side that guys like Brian Patty and and the other management, Kevin kid and those guys, I think they're doing their job without having to hear what how the race racing was in 1989. Well, towards the mid part of last year, they started finding a little something as well. You know, they were getting the backs down to them cars. They were sparking. You knew when they went into the corner that they were getting, there were sparks, would always come out of those two cars.

So, you know, even all three cars last year. So they've been, they've been creeping up on something and it's definitely, definitely showing. I think they realize the importance of running in the top ten in all their series. in order to survive. They were on their way out. So I think it's a good thing for the sport. We need Rouse Racing to be here. I mean, 10 years ago, they had five cars in the chase out of 10.

It's a big deal. Fast forward 10 years. They've only got four cars left between the top two series. So good change for them. The off-the-wall topic, March Madness is finally among us. So who's your pick? Taking home the NCAA championship. You know, I was really disappointed to see Syracuse not getting invited into the tournament.

Oh, they didn't even get invited? NIT, man. So, damn. Yeah, so I'll go with the Tar Heels this year. They've got a really good, complete team,

so I'll pull for them. I'm a Tar Hill fan. I really am. But I'm a Gamecock fan first. Yeah, we know. So I'm going to say the ass kicking chickens go all the way to the championship game and upset the world.

Okay. Go Cox. Wager. No. Want to bet? Yeah, I was, So did you see what Beheim said about playing the tournament, the ACC tournament in Greensboro the whole time? Yeah.

Now, did you see who Syracuse plays in the NIT? Uh-uh. UNC. Greensboro. Right there. Yeah. They don't play in Greensboro, but they play Greensboro, but it's just kind of funny. It worked out like that. That is funny.

All right. We're going into hashtag SDBC. So producer, Josh, why do I do that every time in this one? I don't know. Has chosen a few hashtag Asked BBC questions. So also, if you ever have any questions for us and you want them answered on the podcast by Brett and T.J. Be sure to tweet at us with that hashtag.

At Cornwitt asks. Stealing from recent Aryan Foster tweet, what's the largest animal you could kill barehanded? What? Wow. It's a fun question. What is this? Look at your face.

I've got my client to go with a cat, but it has really sharp claws. I don't like to get scratched. I don't like cats in general. I mean, I can easily say, well, I could kill a dog, but I'd never kill a dog because I love dogs. I hate cats, especially inside cats. That's the largest animal you could kill, though? No, I'm just thinking that may be the only one I want to kill.

What is the larger? They go into your house, and they have this little sandbox. And they sh-de-pins in it. And then when they're done doing that, they walk in it. And then, next thing you know, oh, the cats in the kitchen counter, see if you can get it off a couch. I hate those damn animals. They're terrible. I hate when you look into a house and it smells like that.

It goes in that sandbox is because you put one in there. Well, don't have a cat, is my point. You can, there are such things. I've seen them. They're indoor, outdoor cats easily. Let's say we did that. Then when they smell another cat outside that they can't go visit with, they spray. And have you ever seen how nasty that is?

Aren't you supposed to get them? They race their tail. I'm not like a fog, a mist of just pissed. I'm not a cat person. I'm not a huge cat person. It's a complete mist of piss coming out of their butt. I'm going with cat. And I know that doesn't make me sound tough,

but I just have a lot of aggression towards cats. I think you'd have a lot of people who agreed with that. I'm not a cat person, but I know they kill a lot of snakes and mice and stuff. Not if they're inside. Well, I don't know. I'm a fan of outdoor cats then. Farrell, outdoor cats.

What are you killing with your bear hands? The largest animal. I'm trying to figure out here, like, I'm going big. Like, I'm thinking like. A bear. No, I'm not fighting a bear. Couldn't kill a 40-pound bear. I'm thinking like a koala or something.

Why would you kill a koala? They're wrong. Half the time. That's a sloth. Well, I'll tell a sloth then. Sid, the sloth is going down. You know, koalas, like, koalas have this problem. It's...

Were they high all the time? No, they have a syphilis problem. It's not like the sexual syphilis, but, like, they do. So don't touch them. They also sleep with 17 hours. They just, see? I don't know to humans, but to each other there. What does syphilis do?

I'm not sure. It's something like they've gunking their eyes and like. That ain't about to do with syphilis. It is. It's not a sexual strain of syphilis. On your penis. And then it goes, and then it goes to your brain.

Maybe I'm thinking of paint. Hey, did y'all see that, uh, that YouTube video that was, it was like a couple months ago where that kangaroo, a kangaroo was attacking some dude's dog. Yeah, and he punched it. And the guy went out there and just straight clocked. I'm not sure that. I'm not sure that wasn't fixed.

I don't know, man, because there's a kangaroo would kick the out of you. Oh, it's chlamydia. Oh, well. The coral population is threatened by a terrible and widespread outbreak of chlamydia. Damn, those things. The koalas. Dirty little. What is chlamydia?

What is chlamydia? All right, we've taken a wrong turn on. Okay. Thanks for bringing up STDs. So I'll kill a sloth. I mean, a sloth ain't going to. At 231, Matthew asks, if your drivers are in a fight after the race and you were there, would you jump in and help out?

I would try to stop it. And if anybody hit me, I'd hit him back. I don't know. It depends on, yeah. I mean, it depends on who the guy fighting is. If it's somebody you might respect, I'm not going to lie. I mean, if Kyle came in there swinging at Dale Jr. and he even got close to hitting me, I'm probably going to hit him.

I'll pull Kurt Busch off somebody one time. Yep. Oh, yeah. Too bad one, Kyle. Did you get an elbow to the face? No, I mean, I politely grabbed him and said, hey, man, we're not in a good situation. I think when he leave and he turned around and looked at me with a really red face, and I was like, if you hit me, I'm going to hit you back.

And then we walked off very calmly. Like, I'm just trying to help. I'm a fight diffuser, unless I'm mad. And I'm not. But I'm not, I see a fight going on. I have we need to diffuse this situation. It ain't good. At Sheath 88 asks, who do you think is the most punchable guy in NASCAR?

Dale Jr. says you have the most punchable face. Well, he changed that yesterday. So what? He said TJ has a much. Well, he was mad. He said he doesn't hate him. He just looks at his face. So he said this because he's mad because I give him.

some trouble about their podcast once in a while. And so they fired it up. Then they do like live broadcast deal. They put away. Obviously he comes in here and does like two episodes. And we get a bigger studio, so I'm all for it. You know, we're reaping the benefits of this. So, but yeah, he's mad because I chime in every now and then.

And let's be honest. I mean, Tyler Oversree is not the funniest guy. And to get Dale Jr. going, he needs some help. So, I don't know. But, yeah, so I- I listened to their first podcast. Have you listened to one yet? Well, I fell asleep.

Yeah. I got like, man, my favorite part of Dale Jr.'s thing that he's done that I've listened to was his Nail Bonnet story. That was a good story. Yeah, he's got a lot of good stories. That's what I want to hear. I don't, a lot of it almost seemed, and we do all this ad-lib, despite what you people at home thing.

This is a candid, this is a candid. Basically. I mean, we talked about chlamydia a minute ago. On koala. I felt like his podcast was really scripted, and he's almost putting too much thought into it. I know he's a methodical guy, except for when he has a private conversation with Alex Bowman, who Bowman decides to make that public. But nonetheless, the Neil Bonnet story is what I want to hear.

The tweak that he just sent out this week about him and Tony Stewart got in a fight one time in an Ascar hauler. I want to hear that, you know. And that's the other thing about fighting. Jeff Gordon punched Mike Bliss at the airport one time. Nobody ever knew about that because it wasn't in public. Oh, yeah. Oh, you, Montana, Montana, Montoya, and Newman got into it in an askerholic. When it's not on pit road, nothing has ever heard of it.

But when it's on pit road, it's, oh, we've got to suspend people and find them. Anyway, punchable face. I don't think you have a punchable face, T.J. I honestly, when I first heard that question, which was a couple weeks ago now, I guess, or a week or so ago, it was, I mean, it's hard not to be Kyle to me. I've wanted to hit him ever since Richmond. So, Kristen, there has to be a driver that you think you can kick his ass. Look at her, she kicked most of the ass.

It doesn't mean you don't like him. But which driver, if you said, you know what, I really think I kick his ass, it would it be? All the above? Baby Bowman. Really? Yeah. I'll take him. You got him.

You're about the same size. He's taller than you. Well, if you got your shoes on. Yeah, I'm going to wear my. What happens if Kyle tries to fight you? I'm way more. I think I could take him. Punchable face, man, Josh, you got anybody.

He's a hell of a race car driver, but he doesn't seem very like. Josh, you got to pick somebody. Just pick Justin, because Justin will just not fight you and smile. Punchable guy in Maskar. There's got to be. Oh, I know who he'd pick. Yes. Who is that guy that Josh sees that just every time he walks by just wants to hit him?

You do know. No, no. Who is it, Josh? I think I've come up about it. I can't say it. Tom out. Kristen, can you tell us who the guy is? No.

Why? I can tell you offline. Off the line. Off the line. Share a gram. It doesn't even have to be a driver. Oh, I know. It can be media.

Oh, I'm definitely not driver. There's not a driver that I just want to go knock out at this moment. There's not a media person I've ever wanted to knock out. Ooh, I got mine. Any of the damn yellow shirts at Indianapolis with their whistles. You just want to take their whistles. and strangle them. Yeah, they're in the running for this.

I agree. They're punchable guys in NASCAR. Just line them up, just punch them. Yeah, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da. Yeah. All 700 of them. I'm going to keep mind of myself. I think it's best for me retaining.

For me retaining my head hard card, I think I probably need to just. Oh, yeah. Okay. Well, we'll leave that, that there then. At Hachoo Hunigan asks, best gift you've ever gotten from a driver, if any at all. L-O-L dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot. I don't know. What's the best gift you've ever got from a driver?

I'm going to say three things. Can I guess what one of them is? You will guess it right. Number one, when I bought my house 15 years ago, Elliot gave me a really nice hot tub as a housewarming gift. That's a hell of a houseworming gift. It was. It was very nice.

Did you guys get together? No one ever got chlamydia in the hot tub. Let's get that out of the way. Didn't invite a quorum. Number two. I moved into my new house over the winter, and Clint Boyer sent me a brand new Trager grill. I love the grill. So those are my two favorite things that are materialistic, I guess.

My favorite emotional thing that I got, I actually got last year from Elliot, we won Darlington. That's my guess. Which is my home track, and he sent me a full-size replica of that win. And it was Help a Hero, which I'm a big military supporter. and so that's I know that's three things but in terms of tangible things and then I'd realize a trophy's tangible too but it wasn't about that you know what I mean T.J. I've now bought you three minutes to come up. Oh man man you got it's been nice to you it's because I'm more than a good spotter jeez man uh even good spotters aren't that good I've gotten I'm not going to let it go

I've got a I've got a few trophies I'll beat him up for you I've gotten a couple trophies, too. I think one was a replica of the Dover trophy. I didn't know I was getting it, and then it showed up. That's cool. Miles the monster? Yeah. So it was when I was working on Brad.

Something we had always joked. We had always talked about, like, if you could, hey man, if we could win any trophies, which ones do you want to win? Yeah. Like, man, Dover would be an awesome trophy to have. Yeah. And so he bought an exact replica of the big one that we won and brought it over. and is like, here, man, this one's for you. So I thought that was pretty cool.

What's the coolest thing Dale Jr. gave you? Other than a plane seat every week. I was going to say a ride every week. We get birthday cards from Dale. Oh, yeah? Yeah. And gift certificates for your birthday.

To Whiskey River. What's that? I didn't get a gift certificate. Oh, you didn't? I'm trying to think, man. What's the coolest thing you've ever given a driver? I bet I'm going to win this one out of all 40 spotters. Nobody will touch.

this. Can't touch this. What's the cool thing that I have ever given? Yeah. Well, I did find his, I did give DelGiorior's A.C. Delco helmet from the championship.

That's a open face helmet. Yeah. So I gave that to him. Where'd you find that at? Well, it was. Still it from Teresa or you have to know. She made the freaking crew. So these guys won a lot of races at the E.I. She found

all the crew suits. And she sent them all the note and said, Yeah, buy it. This is a true story. Teresa Earnhardt last year said, hey, Jay Gwarnary, you were on the team at DEI that won the Daytona 500.

Before I put your fire suit on eBay, would you like to buy it? Anyway. Full cost. What does it matter? She needed money. I mean, come on now. Basically, I moved out of a house

that a guy that lived in before me that worked for him. And the guy took all the stuff and left what he didn't want, whatever. So when I moved out, I just grabbed everything in there, and this thing is in a dupel bag, and I was kind of waiting for the right moment to give it to them.

So I thought I was, I thought I'd give it back to him. You might win. I gave Ellie to sign B'Njave guitar. Oh, that's cool. eBay? No, Bon Jovi. So Ellie and I ended up, he's going to kill me if I tell the story, but I'm going to tell it anyway.

We went to a Bon Jovi concert. I reached out to a girl I knew that knew some people at management. Ends up, they're like, man, there's a couple guys in a band that are actually fans in NASCAR. We'll hook you up. We get there. They put us on the front row. There's 300 blondes that were not like us.

And then there was us. And we were in seats that they literally put right there just for us. It's crazy. Well, I looked all over during the middle of the show, and Elliot has got his shirt off. And he's shaking it over his head. Like a helicopter? Yeah.

So we went to Bon Jovi shows three nights in a row. We followed them around on tour. We finally on Thursday night ended up in Indianapolis, which is where the race was as well. So long story short, we got to know some of the band guys met Bon Jovi, met the drummer. What's the hot guitar player there? Richie Sambora, the people go crazy over. Tico's the drummer.

So they don't get to know them guys, so I put in a request going, hey, man, can I get a Bon Jovi guitar sign? That's pretty cool. Yeah. Did Elliot take his shirt off when you presented him with a signed guitar? No. He gets mad when I tell the story. What a d-a-old. Maybe we shouldn't tell it.

A rant's going to be Elliot. I'm flipping out on you in about 12 hours. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. That was the last question. So what are we into next? We're into the rant, homies. What did Mike Joyce say, Josh?

Can we play that audio? Yeah. So we have this exciting, I mean, I think the point of our sport, the big play to Monster was we're going to be edgy. We want to attract this 18 to 35-year-old male. You know, our sponsor is going to help us do things we've never done. And our executives have said this publicly for months. So we have this exciting ending to a race.

We have this crazy finish where Martin wins. Then we proceed to have a wreck. Then we proceed to have a fight. And then Mike Joey keys it up with, what did he say, Josh? And there's trouble on pit road. Yeah, that was it. The most monotone definition of 18 guys fighting at one time you could possibly give. So if we're going for that edginess, I mean, I hate to even say this.

you got these 60-year-old guys in the booth who aren't edgy you got jeff gordon who's recently out of a car not sure how he's going to necessarily handle it and then the reality is the mike joys of the world have to set this up for this to get wild these guys got to get wild in the booth like they got to lose their minds are fighting on pit road and and it just man i want to see i mean even looking at the last few laps like i feel like we got to look at some different ways to cover the sport because if you watch the races from the 70s and 80s, you can see the speed on the racetrack. Now we zoom in so tight on the cars,

you can't even tell how fast they're going. Like when Kyle and Ligano are catching the two who's clearly slower, you can't tell how rapidly they're catching them because the camera's in so tight. Back off some of these camera shots. Every driver needs a helmet cam on. We've got to change the way we're covering this thing to grow again. I don't think we're dying anymore.

I don't think we're declining anymore. It would be a better choice of words. But to grow again, we got to cover the sport differently. And we got to look at instances like this where they're fighting and we're not excited. Instances where last year, Nemechek is wrecking Cole Custer. And they're like, they're scared to death to say anything bad about them. Like, they're driving like idiots. Like, you got to, you got to own that.

I don't know. That's my rant for the week. That's a good one. My next one. So go, T.J. Are you done? Yeah. Damn.

I was giving you time to get your. pick right how i was just looking up twitter stuff here um i guess my rant is if you're gonna uh hit on earlier but if you're going to do this you better can you better be consistent with doing this you know what i mean if you're going to run down there and hit a guy you better run down there and hit the next guy too that's what i hope for yeah is that a rant does it matter yeah you were i can't well there was a fight it sounds like you're asleep there was a fight oh oh look who won last week the DBC picks. Yeah, my guy was hanging out there.

G spotter one last this weekend. He's hot. G spotter, two in a row. Where was a... Should be three in a row, fell he wouldn't have a wreck. The 20 and the 24 were pretty close there at the end. Ninth and third. Well, you went through the wreck.

Chase was actually falling back before that. Okay, so he would have been 10th and 4th? It had been probably 9th and probably 6th or 7th or something. Chase was falling back. He wasn't nearly as good at the end of the thought he was. You get to go first. I'll take Harvick. Harvick.

Man, ponied up. Who won the last Phoenix race, Josh? Keselowski? No, Joey. Oh, God. But it was all mess. Joey's got a target on his bat. Hey, I can't blame you for taking Harvick.

That's a big pick. I think Ford won the first race. Ford runs one second race. Ford was going to win the third race. So I'm going to stay that trend and go with Keselowski. I hope he's good there. I haven't even looked at notes. Is he good there?

Not like the four and the other guys. He actually struggled there, I think, the last race there. Did he? I'll give you a chance tied up. I'll burn a bullet. This resets at the chase, though, you said, so that's why I'm picking the four. Well, the driver's reset. The count doesn't reset.

No, yeah, the driver's reset. So I can, you know, if it's my pick and hard, you know, I might be able to. Absolutely. Here's the thing that gives you a big advantage. Kevin Harvick tested Phoenix. And he's pissed. And they've never tested Phoenix. And he's had a lot of speed last two weeks.

But they've never, they've just always been good at Phoenix. But they got to go tests. Yeah, yeah. Why that tire blow? Five of the last seven. I don't know. I talked to Fidoa last night, Tim Fidoa, who spots for him. And they truly think they ran over something.

It was near the end of a run, though. Oh, not really. Yeah, it was. Wasn't that far in. I mean, it's probably 30 lap, 40 laps in. It wasn't like 60. And he was also running high. He was one of the first cars run the high.

high side. Yeah, he could have shaved it off. And where he blew it wasn't typically where you blow it either. Thank God he didn't blow again in a one. Yeah. I hate to see a guy. I hate to see anybody blow right front. It scares a hell out of me.

Yeah, blowing right front is no fun. Because you hear a boom and then within a second they're smashing a wall. Yeah, well, hopefully it's not a boom and then like three seconds, then a boom. Yeah. It's usually not good at that point. So. Off to Phoenix. Yeah.

I hope you get to stay in Phoenix. I don't They get you in Flagstaff as week No kidding Yeah Tijuana Yeah we're We're staying right up the road

And Glendale The Grand Canyon We got tents at the base We're going to camp it Yeah Ride mules back and forth to the track We're going to mule it up Get on in there

You know we're going to leave It about one in the morning To get in town Yeah It's the biggest Race team in NASCAR That's how they roll Listen, that place we stayed at was nice.

But it was just a little out of it. I mean, hey, if it was, I'm all for it. If it was, you know, more cheaper for the team, whatever, it didn't really cost us. It probably saved us money off. It's more cheaper. Can you say more cheaper or? That's expensive. That's like the word.

The word drives me the most nuts is when people say littler. Littleer. Littleer. You know, I'll tell you one thing that drove me nuts. It said on the radio one time, he says, it happens some of the time all the time. I'm like, what hell is that? Which one is it? It's either all the time or it's not all the time.

Yeah, 60% of the time it works every time. Yeah. I hate when people say, and some people say it to me now all the time that know I hate it. It's the same, but like different. Yeah, it's the same only different. What? What is and it ain't?

One of our PR reps says, yeah, no. A lot. Yeah, no. Is that the one you want to punch? Will has that? Will has the most annoying one. Will? Will?

say, Yes. No, he'll nod his head the opposite. It's like, Jesus Christ, Will. Will has a month off.

I miss him already. So a lot of guys don't take their motorhomes out west because of the cost. So Will's off, Vegas, Phoenix, Fontana, and then there's a week off for Xfinity. So for a month, this guy's sitting on his ass.

So we'll see him in Texas. Is that what's after? Where do we go after Fontana, T.J. Marginville? Yeah. We run short tracks. You guys are Martinsville.

So we go Martinsville, Bristol or Martinsville or whatever. I thought two in a row. It's out there back to back. It's Martinsville Easter. Martinsville, Week Off. We get a week off. We get a week off. Well, it's Bristol.

After Texas? Wow. Okay. I really feel like. After Texas? I wish our week off was after Daytona. I feel like those three winners reserved more time. You've said that before.

To be able to just enjoy it and promote it. I missed the week off in July. Oh, I did too. right in Daytona. We used to go down there and rent a house. I know, that's true. It was fun. Tabloid Central.

I only did it one year. I about that. Tabloid Central was Panama City. Yeah, I know. Skip that trip. That was the next year after the Daytona deal. It was crazy. Good times.

All right. Great talk. One main financial, thank you for bringing this podcast full of. And Exalta for sponsoring the Exalta Studios in Junior Motorsports. Dirty Moor Radio. Yeah. Thanks, everybody. Is this our longest show ever, Josh?

Yeah. Is Natalie going to kill us? We're at an hour and 14 minutes. We're really sorry we took up this much of you guys' time. Maybe y'allon break it off in the segments. Sorry. Hala. One, two, segment.

Bye. Hey, Mike. So as we're sitting here in the newly renovated Exalta Studio, let's talk Exalta. First of all, this studio is awesome. Is it not? Oh, my gosh. It's huge. I love it.

It's amazing. Yeah, we are very appreciative of that. But Exaltas is everywhere. I mean, we just left Daytona. Thousands of people went into their seats through the Exaltta engine. I'm myself. I'm going to brag a little bit here, but I actually watched the duels from the Exalta suite. It was fabulous. You know, Exaltta is a co-primary on Dale Jr's car. That car, you will never miss it. It is so bright, colorful. It's amazing. And it's going to run at Phoenix. But yeah,

Exalta is everywhere. They are really big supporters of our digital platform and our race teams. We didn't even mention the fact that Exaltza is going to be sponsoring William Byron. That announcement came out this week. And they have a brand new building that they just built right next to Hendrick motorsports. I've had the privilege to see the outside. Now I'm really excited to go and take a tour of the inside. It's absolutely incredible just what they've been doing. Totally. So we appreciate Exalta. How can we follow them on social?
