Check the flag, you win. Hey, everybody, I'm PJ Major, as part of the 88 cup car, the 7-extinity car, and the 29 truck. And ever before, have you precursored your intro with the words dry-humping like you just did? If only Josh could record what happens before you do that intro. He could. He just doesn't. Which is probably for the best. Brett Griffin Spotter, Elliot Sadler, Clip Boyer last weekend, Todd Gilliland in his truck debut.

Which didn't go very well. It went great right up until the concrete. Something broke. And as always. Hey guys, it's KB and T.J. just said that riding the elliptical is like dry humping running. It's a dry humping of running. Dry humping of running. Gross.

So all you elliptical people out there with your headphones on listening to us, get off the dry humper and go get on the wet humper. What's the wet humper, T.J.? The treadmill? Apparently running in the rain, I don't know. Well, nobody wants to dry on. Nobody wants to run either. Oh, gross.

They all are crazy. Hey, y'all, we're in the Exalted Studios here in the video radio. On the hills of the one main financial 200. Right. Glad that's over. Yeah. We didn't win, but our sponsor was. I was happy.

We were fast, too. We got in the wrong lane on the restart. That's a bad deal when you get the wrong lane there. It's tough. We were three rows ahead of the nine. We go into turn one, and he's a row and maybe a row and a half ahead of us. Like, that's how much ground we lost because one person can't shift gears and go. Yeah, the inside, if anybody messes up on the inside row, the inside guy,

if he's a little too generous to the guy on the outside, it just screws the whole row. Yeah, we were toast. But one main car was fast. It was a great weekend. We had probably three, four thousand. and one main financial people there, which was fun. I thought we had 5,500. Well, we probably did.

I was being conservative. There was a lot of one main people. Yeah. I actually, in our suite before the race, had three different people come up to me, Matt Tom Cobby and one of them, and said he listens to the podcast every week. He's a cool dude.

So for a moment, I'm like, oh, shit. These guys are actually listening to this show. We might need to clean it up. And then I was like, well, he said he liked it. He's a cool dude, though. I play golf with him and Elliot at the charity golf tournament. last year. Yeah, he's awesome dude.

Yeah. So we'll just keep on keeping on, I guess. Yeah, what else can you do? We just keep advice of people not to dry hump on this show. That's right. Let's keep dry humping. Let's dry hump the hell out of this show. Do you want any money in the casino?

I never even went to the casino. Shocker. I did. You won money? We won 57 bucks on the ponies on Friday night. Yeah. Thursday night. Yeah.

My pony. That was fun. That was fun. That's fun. Thursday night. I heard some J.R. and people had fun Thursday night at casino. Yeah, there was a...

I was in bed by 11. Just want to put that out there, but some of my cohorts were at it. Josh apparently has a story. He's over there laughing. Go ahead, Josh. Josh was just his normal, Josh. It's the same as every time I go to Dover,

I end up and fire an ice because there's nothing else to do in that town. No. Tell us some good rumors. There aren't really any good rumors. I will say this. There are some cohorts as, Kristen said that we're not feeling well

Was it a guy that says Coming to you, Spotter? Giggles? So the coming to you, Spotter guy apparently listens to our show. Some of our great guys on the one team before the practice started were laughing and saying,

hey, Brett, we're going to call you Brett from now on. So no more going to you, Mother. See, if I had heard that, though, I would keep calling you, Spiter. Just in spite. Yeah, so people in Baltimore, Maryland listen, Wilmington, Delaware, and even people in this race shop listening to this show, T.J. That was hilarious.

They should. I think they're a little scared of you, maybe. But, you know, I mean, we've all done it. Thursday night is the night to blow a motor. We should, you know. Right? You can't blow a motor Friday night and I have to work all day, Saturday. What time did your roommate get back?

2 a.m. 2 a.m. Josh is fine. I couldn't tell anything. Josh is a professional, though. Yeah, he is. Josh and I went and rode around the golf cart to do a bunch of run-dears, and he seemed fine with me. Josh is drunk right now.

I mean, it is Monday. To be fair, Josh used to work for Miller Corr, so. He's a trooper. I saw Josh in the casino on one night, and I said, hey, man, I got a confession. I was pretty hung over on that Memorial Day show we did. He said, Brett, I got a confession. I'm hung over every show that we do. It's Monday.

I was like, man, I don't, you know, somebody said, how'd the show going? I was like, I don't even remember. I don't know what I said. We may all get fired. We should have given you a shot of hot vodka, just hair of the dog. Oh. Something. Anyway, man.

Crazy weekend, off to Pocono this week. I felt great. Yeah. Madden hung over. I didn't even, honestly, we didn't come up until Friday morning. That's nice. And that Friday was so long after that truck race and everything. We didn't get to the hotel until 8.

The hotel. So, yeah. Went to bed. It was nice to get out of the Exfini race a little early. I will say this, you know, the Dover piece. Hopefully it's not in here anywhere in Josh's show. But the truck race was a lot of caution's hard to pass. Xfinity race, a lot of caution is really hard to pass.

The cup race was freaking entertaining, man. I think they were all kind of entertaining. Guys were struggling to fight grip, and I like seeing that. I think the races are good when guys are struggling with their cars and stuff. Like Ben Rhodes, we got out front of that truck race. Earlier in that race, he was in the back. They couldn't go anywhere. You get him out front, he's driving away.

So, I don't know, I thought the cup race was definitely entertaining. Awesome. Probably the best cup race I've ever seen. there. I think a lot of it was because of everyone was fighting their cars. Like, if you went too hard down to the corner, it was so hard to run the same lap twice. I was really upset with the stage lengths in the Xfinity. Yeah, they weren't. And then the truck race, I mean, the truck race was 4590. They're too short. And then you got a 110 run to finish. You know, Exfinity was the opposite. We only had an 80 lap run to finish where you didn't have to pit. That made no sense to me.

You can't have to pit the last. You got a freaking pit the last deal. Yeah, you can't have a final stage and not have to pit. I didn't think we were going to get through the first stage with, you know, a caution every three laps. So when you don't have a call, when you don't have to pit in the final stage, there's no, there's no strategy at all. Well, the fuel window is out of the equation. Yeah, that's the whole thing.

Nobody's going to short pit. Nobody's doing anything. It's come on out, guys, line up when the first guy, you know, where you're running is where you're going to finish. Yeah. It also opens a big opportunity for teams that are already locked in the playoff. If you throw a yellow, you know, 10, 15 laps before. that stage ends.

They'll come get four, and then they'll either A stay out or B, they'll just come get two and inherit the lead. So I'm not a fan of putting these stages and laying them out to where there's no fuel windows

that open up in that last run. Of any series. The stages, the cautious rate before the end of the stage are starting to, I can't figure out if I like them or I hate them. Because everyone from eighth on back pits

and then they stay out at the end. So basically you either have to put yourself in position for the next stage, you know, at the end of it or whatever, and sacrifice this one. Like Blaney should have won Texas. Yeah. But because he stayed out to get them stage points, he had to pay. He was 20th, and he couldn't get back up through.

Yeah, yeah. I'll tell you who was fast in the Xfinity race. Bubba. Oh, and he got out. Dude, he's driving with some. He was coming. And he's driving with like, hey, I'm going to take this and you're going to give it to me. And that's it.

And I'm going. And he was racing with guys that I know have a lot faster cars than him. I mean, he smoked Blaney. Yeah, he was, Bubba was driving his tail off, man. Yeah. Bubba Blaney. I was very impressed. I think that's somewhere he, I think that's somewhere he likes to go and race.

Yeah. And you can see it in his driving, too. Yeah, I'd say there in Charlotte are probably two of his better tracks. Definitely, yeah. I mean, some guys that just fits her driving style. I think it fits Jimmy's pretty well. Yeah, you think? Yeah.

Wonder. I think it fits Jimmy's just fine. Who was it a few weeks? weeks ago was just so worried about Jimmy driving through too many pit boxes. Was that Natalie? Put that in that show? Maybe. I mean, what? This is Jimmy Johnson, people. How many wins is he got? What's he got 83 wins?

The dude just started at Dover? He started in the back. Like, he couldn't even, didn't you have to qualify. It started in the back. Won the race. And then he was eighth, like on lap eight. Yeah. It was. Yeah. I think he just like appeared in front of us. I think he's going to turn out to be pretty good of this deal. Yeah, I'm, you know, I'm not going to lie.

I don't think number eight, number eight is getting clearer and clearer for Jimmy Johnson. Yeah. So, yeah. You guys ready to go into this phone? How old is Jimmy, 41? I think he's younger. I don't think he's that old, really. Yeah, I think he's like 39 or 40.

I mean, his beard's that old looking, but. Yeah, he's got some grain there, just for men. 41. 41? Really? Get you something. 1975. It looks 32.

75. That was a great year. Pala? 75. That's me. 75. Look at this. You're 41.

42. Birthday was two weeks ago. Thanks for the cake. Oh, we should have had some cake. Oh, man, I suck. Happy birthday. Presidents. Did you put it on Facebook?

That's the only way I remember anyone's. Tequila shots. Thanks for the happy. We could have made a happy birthday. We'll have a belated birthday cake. Did I put it on Facebook? No, some people don't. put it on there because they don't want people to know it's the birthday.

I put it because I want all 800 people that I've not seen in the last 27 years to tell me happy birthday. That's the only reason I signed up for Facebook. Did you not, do you have your birthday on Twitter? I'm like, who the fuck is this? Do you have your birthday on Twitter? Somebody told some people like Clinton. If you have it on Twitter, then it puts balloons on your profile that day and everything.

Oh, Blake Shelton wished me happy birthday on Twitter, so you know how that ended. No, yeah, blew my timeline up with a bunch of people. I love you, Blake. Oh, my God, Blake. Come to my house, sing my wedding. Yeah. God, bless. Nothing to do with you.

Nothing to do with you. Nothing to do with you. Thanks for all the mentions, guys. So great. Poor Brett. It's real special. But you got a birthday. That's better than getting a happy birthday for me.

I was, I was not a birthday. Say it's your birthday. I was not a birthday, too. But not really. I was not a birthday person until I went to Garth Brooks concert. in Vegas, he did an acoustic deal at the win. And he basically said, without your birthday, all the other days of your life aren't possible.

So appreciate it. That is so dumb. That's true. It's so literal and true. Right. It's so deep. It's dumb. Just celebrate your birthday.

If I was an employer, which I am, I hope my people that work for me on. If I was an employer. I would give everybody their birthday off. It's your personal holiday. It is Kentucky Race Day. It's your fun with that. I won't be there. It's your personal holiday.

Last year, I celebrated mine by myself in our hotel in Kentucky, and I ate a salad from Wendy's. Why did you do that? That is pathetic. The garage closed at like 9 o'clock last year. That's the worst birthday I've ever heard. I've won't pathetic loser. Kristen. You couldn't even get a massage.

Did you find an elliptical? Yeah. Couldn't get dry-holmed? I think that hotel was so bad. I didn't even have a fitness room. Yeah. All right. Didn't have an elliptical?

You guys ready to go to spot on, spot off? I think we're having more fun of this. Yeah. I got diamonds on my birthday last year. A diamond? No, diamond earrings. I got silly string from you back. Silly string.

Yeah, we silly string, Josh, remember? Oh, yeah. It gets stuck in your beard. Yeah. I think when's Josh's birthday? April 9th. You missed it. Damn.

I think we did a show on my birthday. actually. May 22nd. And I totally forgot about you. I don't only just make up for, we'll make up for Josh's one day here soon. We'll have all of our birthdays together and one day during a podcast.

Man, I think we should. I'll bring in gluten-free, dairy-free cake and it'll taste like garbage. I think we rent some entertainers and bring him in here for Josh just to make up for missing his birthday. Like male entertainers? Yeah, sure.

Whatever Josh wants. A man with a red face and a thong on does not interest me in the least. But you're not Josh. You all are, I'm out. All right, we're going in his spot-on, spot-off. Y'all ready?

Let's do it. Brett, the NFL says no to the Philadelphia Eagles paint scheme for Dale Earnhardt, Jr. How does this happen? Spot off, man. Dale Jr. is one of the biggest athletes in the country. It's his retirement year. Hendrick Motorsports has been a dynasty within NASCAR. I'm really convinced, and I think the paint scheme had something to do with teachers.

Yep. Is that right? So NFL kiss our ass. Like, how can this happen? Spot off. How can the Eagles own their property and basically lend it out and then the NFL come in and go, well, you can't do that with your own thing? That's weird.

I was really surprised to hear that. I just don't understand why they would say no to cross-sport marketing. I know. Stupid. The world's most recognizable driver. I mean, I'll go spot on because the Eagles are like the armpit of the NFC. Oh, shut up. That's the armpit of the NFC East right there.

Okay, Buffalo Bills fan. I don't care what you say. No, this is how big of a deal of Dale Jr. is, though. This happens, and the whole NASCAR Motorsports media spin it as, well, thank God. Dale Jr. doesn't have to run. Eagles paint scheme. He's Redskins fan. Like, they don't like the Redskins either.

They don't even address the marketing aspects of it for everybody or the sponsorship efforts. And the fact that this thing was announced and then unfortunately unannounced, but spot off, man, NFL. These guys wear helmets. I mean, Bobby Labani wore helmets back in the day. I don't understand the fact that we've had people like, who do we have? We've had football players. We had, like, who was it, Julian Edelman at Loudon?

We had him there. We had Roger Stalbach, Troy Aitman, his owners. Sue comes to a handful of races. He was a Sonoma last year. Maybe another one, too. Yeah. We got NFL players coming to our races. Greg Olson come see you on the roof every week.

Greg Olson's... Not every week, every Charlotte. Greg Olson's awesome. His brother, he needs some help, but Greg Olson... Greg Olson's brother likes to have a good time. If he comes, he can be wearing orange. That's true. Oh, jumpsuit, got it.

I just... I don't understand why you would say no to it, though, but I mean, the Eagles do suck, so... You suck. It wasn't the Eagles, it was the NFL, it was the commissioner. Who cares? So don't blame it on the Eagles, or I'll come over there and fight you with my fist. With your eagle. Your face.

Just don't bring your elliptical. Fan arrested for climbing. turn four fence at Dover this weekend. He was drunk. Spot on, spot off. D. Runk. I got to go spot off, man. That's dangerous.

Did you just almost lose your head? This cord's like, this cord's like three foot long, man. And I'm sitting over here in the corner. So that's, I don't know what, who sits there and says, hey, let's climb the fence, man. That'll be awesome. I mean, go down in the front row and take your clothes off or something. Get off the fence. I don't do that.

I don't know. The fact that it's happened twice. I don't understand. If you look down there, there's security guards all over the place, and some guy casually climbs a fence in front of them. What do they do? But no one notices until he's on the top of it. He's on the top of it.

He wasn't on top. He was doing pull-ups from the other side of the damn thing. This guy managed to climb and get to the edge. On the flat part. I don't know how the fence didn't somewhat start to collapse. I don't know how we didn't go under yellow. None of us saw it, which obviously we're doing our job. We're not looking for people climbing fence.

is by any means, but how does this happen? I mean, like, Richmond, to me, looked like... That guy had a cooler up there. I mean, like a dumb drunk guy's going up there to have fun, which I later met his dog. That guy really wanted a better seat. He was up there to drink. This guy, to the extent to which he did it, he looked like an idiot. Like, I mean, he could have died.

Imagine this guy falling in a car. That's what I was being. That would have been brutal. Dude, there would have been a freaking handland in Maryland somewhere. Like, you can't... We would have got splattered on the roof. I hope this dude goes to jail for... He's being sentenced this morning, I think.

Yeah. I bet he'd get 60 days or something. They were going to... They're setting the bond this morning or something and then they're going to... I think he'll get a court date later or something, I'm sure. That's ridiculous. Our judicial system would never hand down a penalty that quickly, KV. We have to stretch it.

It'll be two years at least. Spot on, spot off. Elliot Sadler holds points lead for the 10th consecutive week. Spot on, man. We're just doing it. A lot of people, I just... Jim Utter actually had Justin Algar taking the points lead because Justin's statistics at Dover compared to Elliot's.

That was a really good track for Elliott last year, a really good track for him this year. Unfortunately, like we talked about, extremely hard to pass, got the wrong lane, burner stuff up, finished seventh and did manage to beat Justin by probably three, four spots. Yeah, we finished right behind you in a couple different segments, stages anyway. It was close, but, you know, I...

You looked really loose to me. Yeah, we were... Both days, Saturday and Sunday. We were pretty bad. You know, I got a spot on for Elliot for having, you know, starting off the year good. If you start the year off good, it's a lot easier to maintain that it is to make up ground. But, you know, I'm pretty happy and satisfied with Justin and Jason and all the guys. Satisfied?

Your grasp of the English language. I'm very satisfied with the work that J.R. Motorsports has put in and Jason and M. over there to make up. Because we had a really. You dug out of a hole. We had a bad hole to dig out of. Justin has dug out of a hole. And I also feel like Justin's strengths to me the past year and a half have been short tracks, flat tracks, and then also Homestead. I mean, he had one of his better runs a year of Homestead.

So we all knew he was going to recover. I mean, he's too good of a race car driver. We're too good of a company. But he has recovered in an amazing style to come from literally 30th and points to second. After Atlanta, we were in trouble. Yeah. But, you know, to get a win and make up a lot of that ground, what are we like? like 14, 15 points back or something.

Can't be many. I think you're 12. Yeah, somewhere, I mean, to be that close after that start, it's pretty good. I think Justin's actually re kind of finding himself a little bit too here. I think he's found a good home. And, you know, he's always, always positive on the radio. He's a great guy. Yeah, and he's, you know, I think.

Y'all got to get him a bigger hat, though. The hat that he wears is like squeezing his brain. When he takes it off, there's like, there's this hat ring around his eyebrows. And I'm like, man, that's going to squish his. I will say that dash for cash hat that they gave him in wherever we want it was exceptionally large for his head. But yeah, no, spot on for Junior Motorsports too, man, for being in this position. Are we one, two, and three still? Where's Michael out?

Nine. Ninth. I'm not going to lie. I'm not going to lie. How many transfer? Eight? Twelve. Twelve.

Twelve. Twelve. Twelve. Yeah, yeah. So he's not going to lie. Michael's actually quietly doing. What he needs to do. He's doing exactly what he needs to do.

Without Charlotte, he's probably actually... Where would he be without Charlotte, you think? He was going to have four back-to-back times. He'd be six or... I mean, honestly, that's... I feel like that's pretty good for him. He's getting his confidence back with that and keep chipping away at it.

So first-time crew chief... I mean, this is his first-time crew chiefing, right? Yeah, it's a first-time crew chief, and a lot of those guys... It's a brand-new team. Yeah. Still working out the kinks and everything. There's a lot of questions, too, right now around Roush,

and if they're going to continue to run the six full-time. after this weekend. So obviously that could play a role into Michael's ability to move up in the points. Also a lot of rumor that Bubba may end up in a cup car even as soon as this weekend. If that happens, it's a big deal for Bubba. That would be massive news.

Yeah, and Bubba, honestly, Bubba's probably deserving of a cup race now. He's been running an Xfinity for a while. I'm surprised someone hasn't already put him in a cup car. Well, he's been under contract with Rauch. And, you know, this honestly, this might be one door closes more open for Bubba here. So this might be a blessing for him and he might find a new home.

You never know. I always thought Toyota was crazy for letting him go because here he sits in the trucks. He won four races that year, had a phenomenal year. And then the following year, he literally all that Toyota was able to put on the plate for him was a part-time Xfinity gig at Roush, I mean at Gibbs. And it was going to be like eight to ten races. So he was going to go from a full-time truck ride to a very limited skis. schedule in Xfinity and kind of stub his toe a little bit, and Ford stepped up and said,

hey, we want him and have taken him in. So hopefully Ford's about to open some more doors for him, as T.J. said, as summer closing, because I agree with T.J. He is very deserving of a cup ride. And some of these tracks that he tends to run well on like Dover and Charlotte can lend yourself to being better in a cup car than an Xfinity car. I mean, those are places where guys like Jimmy Johnson run better. So higher horsepower machines sometimes prevail for a guy's driving style. Well, yeah, you never know.

I think it'll work out better for him. So I don't know. I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do. Still your show, David. Jordan Dahl, my sponsor for Armor, he just said, a question to enhance the fan experience, can we put a number banner in front of the spotters so we know who is who.

So when they screw up, we can throw things at them. Jordan. I thought we were friends, man. Spot on, spot off. Junior Motorsports holds two spots in the dash for cash at Dover and William Byron wins. Baby Driver. $100,000.

That's got to be the most money he's ever won, right? I'd assume so. Let's just hope that he had a driver contract where he got some of it. I hope. I hope he got a lot of it. Crickets. I haven't seen his driver contract. I haven't either.

The rule of thumb is the driver gets half, right? So when you fancy Justin Algar, $100,000, Justin doesn't get it all, people. Rule of thumb is, rule of thumbs half. I mean, obviously that rule of thumb can go to 40. You can go to 60 depending on. I mean, Jimmy Johnson probably gets a little more than 50 when he wins a $1 million. I think the more experienced the driver, the more money they probably get on their contracts.

You know, these young guys probably don't have very good. They don't have contracts built for that. But as you get older and more experience, you get more benefits and more perks like that. William can now afford to go buy that new hoverboard. He's been hired. Yeah. William can now buy that Xbox 360. He's been desiring.

He's been wanting the OSXXX-B. He's so cute. He might even get him an eye racing machine now. He has one. I can't afford one of those things. His sister's mad because he's taken over the entire living room with it. Yeah. Well, maybe now he can get his own apartment.

I met his mom and sister here for a fan day. They were super nice. They were super nice. Great family. I met his dad just real briefly at the Hendrick deal in December. Really? Big Bill? Yeah.

And he was into the music. I heard his name when he was running late models here. Didn't follow him, didn't know him, heard his name. And then when he got the trucks, I was like, holy cow, this kid can flat do it because there's two kinds of ways to want to race. You can inherit the lead and win or you can go pass for the lead and win. And this is one of those guys that can pass for the lead and win. And when you look at the superstars in the sport and the Cup Series, that's what they're able to do. It's really easy to be running third and first and second have an issue and you inherit the lead and you maintain it.

It's really hard to be running third and go past second, pass first, take the win away from them to bring it to your first. yourself. So super impressed with that guy. Yeah, I think it's been a little bit of a learning curve. I think it's a little harder than what he had in the truck series to do now. It's not as easy because that truck he was in was exceptionally good. But I think he's doing well with it. He's not wrecking every week. He's finishing races.

Obviously, he's winning Dash for Cash stuff. He's impressive. And I owe Earl pricking Long Island ice tea because. Wow, that's expensive. He beat me. I know. Better than that crap. You're drinking out of that.

That is. That's like baby. This is this is pureed kale, blueberries with some almond milk. And baby diaper. Cyan pepper. It looks like a baby diaper. It's just a cup of health right there. It is.

Speaking of baby diapers. Speaking of that, we're going to take a break. One main financial is the largest consumer finance company in the United States. And it dates back over 100 years.

I'm going to give TJ and Brett a topic to debate, and I'm going to alternate who responds first. Brett is going to go first. Each of them will get 30 seconds to voice their opinion on my question, and then whoever responded first will get a 30-second rebuttal. Y'all ready?

Our brakes need to be longer. Dang. Do you have to pee? No. You always have to pee. You gave me like eight seconds there. I'm good. Not only did Jimmy Johnson tie Kale Yarborough for sixth place on the all-time wins list.

He tied Richard Petty and Daryl Walter for accumulating 11 wins at one racetrack. Will Jimmy break the record and win Dover for a 12th time, Brett? You got to say yesterday's race was won in a large part because of Chad Canals. Chad Canals had the strategy to stay out, long pit everybody, all of the guys. Five guys in front of Jimmy had pitted. Jimmy inherited the lead. He comes back down pit road to get four tires, manages to have a wonderful restart.

The answer is yes, he can win over a 12th time. Wow. That thing is turned. Holy shit. It wasn't bad, am I? It just knocked me out. Mike Tyson. Jesus, Ross Chastain.

Make sure you guys are awake. Go ahead, T.J. You now have 30 seconds. That thing knocked the thoughts out of my head. It doesn't take much. Jimmy can win everywhere. Jimmy could win Pocono. He can win the next five races for, he's that type of guy.

So Jimmy gets on a hot streak, and I feel like he's been fairly successful this year already. So he had, he did me want Charlotte. I mean, a week ago, he almost won Charlotte as well. He came up three-quarters of a lap short. But Jimmy, I mean, we need to enjoy what Jimmy Johnson is doing right now, because there's a good chance that it's probably never going to be repeated. Kenny went for a 12th time. Yeah, he doesn't win for the 11th.

11th time if he's not a badass on a restart. Kyle Larson, I saw people on Twitter saying NASCAR calls Kyle Larson the win. No, Kyle Larson got beat by Jimmy Johnson. Jimmy Johnson caused Kyle Larson the win. Kyle slowed the restart down too much, and then when he went, he spun his tires. He should have been going faster. He should have left the restart zone early instead of late. Jimmy took it from him, man.

That's one of them deals like we were just talking about. If you can take it, you're the man. You can't go late on a final restart. You notice, Kyle, what I like about Kyle Larson's research and is the fact that he starts him like a sprint car race kind of. You ever see what he does? He doesn't slow the field down hardly ever. When he gets close, when he gets about 10 carlings from the line,

he slowly picks up his speed and takes off. And everybody behind him has a nice smooth restart. We don't play these games or everybody's running into each other. Mark Keselowski does. Or Kevin or Kyle. They all slow them way down. But what he did is did something what he's not used to doing, and he cost himself.

If he would roll up to that line and took off when he got to it, hit it when to turn one on the outside of Jimmy and pinched Jimmy down and beat him off the corner. Yeah. But instead, he gave Jimmy opportunity. And if you give Jimmy, he's only won seven championships. All you fans that are but hurt, go back and watch the final restart.

Jimmy took it. Kyle messed up just a little bit. And got another second. Todd. Tilly. Triedillan caused a wreck on the overtime finish. NASCAR determined the leader was past the overtime line. Is the overtime line a good thing on green-white checker finishes?

My turn? Yep. I think, you know, I'd like to see these races end under green, but that race, Jimmy Johnson, was into turn three already. He was going to win the race. Kyle was not going to get back to him. I don't mind going away from this role, but I don't think we need to do it at bigger tracks.

Like, I would hate to do this Talladegger Daytona, where you run until the end and somebody wins. But like Arka, Arka doesn't have a, One cool thing about Arca is they'd never finish under yellow. So you're guaranteed, you're guaranteed a green finish. Is the overtime line a good thing on green white checker finish? Absolutely not. Yesterday, the race was determined by a half a mile.

That's not okay. We need to, at minimum, come back to the white. I personally think we need to go back to the green white checker thing. The reason this rule exists is guys like Dale Jr., which I get, we're jumping up and down screaming because of what happened to Austin Dillon that Daytona two years ago when NBC had their first race on television. So I just think we jipped the fans and to some degree we just screw up the race at the end. Is Kyle Larson the new, oh wait?

Yeah, thanks. Thanks. I mean, that's enough about it. Will you get off your damn phone and be a part of the show? That's enough about it anyway. Stop looking at the ellipticals. I'll give you mine. I think I would like to see these guys race it out.

You know, it's racing. I mean, that's some of the best part of the race is seeing the end. and who's going to win. It's the overtime sudden death of hockey. Yeah, somebody has to win, and it shouldn't be because they come across the line slow. Is Kyle Larson the new Kyle Busch, minus winning Dover and Cup? He essentially dominated Saturday and Sunday. Brett?

Man, I got to say he's not the new Kyle Bush because his persona is a lot different than what Kyle brings to interviews and to TV. I mean, let's all be very honest. Kyle is a character, and when he's in character, he's a very arrogant guy. I think Kyle Larson is a very humble and gracious guy, but the performance here being insinuated in this question, the answer is yes, this guy is the next Kyle Bush right now. I don't know if he is quite yet. He hasn't shown me enough on all types of tracks yet. Kyle's won on basically every type of track. Road course is everything Kyle's been successful at when I don't think Kyle Larson is very far from being that. But on the track wise, you know, as far as personality-wise, he's the opposite to the spectrum.

But he's got a little bit more to show me, but he's trending in that direction. Very close to dominating main period. Very close to winning six cup races this year. Obviously, has won three Xfinity races. Hope he's enjoying that because NASCAR's getting ready to come down. I don't think you see a cup driver in a dash for cash race next year. I like it. We'll see.

Kyle Busch left pit road on Sunday when all of all the This is a paragraph. You better get your breath right. Kyle Bush left pit road on Sunday when all of a sudden the left rear tire came off the car. NASCAR official said it is possible Kyle Busch's team could receive lenient punishment for having a tire fall off after a pit stop.

The rule book calls for a stiff penalty including a four-race suspension for the crew chief, tire changer, and carrier. What do you think the punishment will and should be for the 18 team? TJ. So this happened in the truck race as well. It happened to the truck that I was spotting or the Brad, right?

With Brad's truck. The left front of the left front came off. It's basically the same point as Kyle's, and then we had it happen again with the left rear on Sunday. I don't know if that's, I don't see, I don't know why this would be a suspension for people. It's just a mistake. You're not trying to gain.

I mean, the wheel obviously, the tire never got put on correctly or whatever. You're going to come back down and fix it. It's not like finishing a million dollar race and having 18 lug nuts on your car. The crew chiefsie. doesn't change the tire. Therefore, he should not be under penalty for anything.

In this situation, the jack either broke or the jack man screwed up, and when the jack drops, the driver leaves, the lug nuts weren't on, therefore the tire fell off. However, if this is how it's written in the rule book, enforce it the way it's written. This is where NASCAR gets into themselves into trouble. There shouldn't be a gray area with a freaking rule. The rule is the rule.

Yeah, I don't... If you make the roll stand by it, if they got it for, why are we even discussing it? It's supposed to be four rages, make it four races and be done with it. I don't know why, if it's not four races, and why do we have the rule? We should just get rid of it. The off-the-wall topic, NHRA funny car driver, Courtney Forst,

daughter of NHRA legend John Forst. Did you see this? I would know. It's big. Oh, I mean, it was like, everybody before you just pause the show and go Google, Courtney Force blows up. Yeah.

She crossed the finish line over 331 miles per hour when her car exploded. Luckily, she walked away with no injuries. As fathers of daughters, would you let them race if they wanted to? Ooh. Who. Man. Good thing is, her husband won yesterday. Who thought this one up?

That's not her husband or dad. This is Josh's best question. No. What's his face? Graham Ray Hall. Yeah, Graham. He won yesterday. Graham won both days.

Oh, they're married? Yep, they got married two years ago. Oh, there's some freaking racing legacy. I bet their babies will be worth some money. Holy shit. I told you. That's a girl in that car. It literally looked like a F-16 dropped a bomb on that car.

Man, I don't know. What the hell happened? It blow up. Yeah, I mean. It blowed up. I don't know, man. First of all, Jovey's too timid to race. Keeley is crazy enough to race.

and I mean, I'm going to let my kids pursue whatever they want to do. So I guess the answer is yes. But, I mean, when you see a car that you know is capable of running. Sorry, press the wrong, Josh. What was that? What are you watching, Josh? It's all these buttons. You see a car running 330 miles an hour and it blow up.

It's scary. Look at her afterwards, though. Just smiling, talking, laughing. So that's not a bad rat. It looks way worse than what it is. I mean, that body is nothing but carbon fiber. Yeah, that body is. off anyway.

That's so scary to see. Yeah, she's kind of cute. Yeah, she's just super pretty. I like blondes. Anyway, I think... Madeline's into dancing, and I'm perfectly fine with that. I think that'll keep her away from racing, so... And, you know, like Brett said, though, you're going to let them do what they want.

That's what their desire is. Let them do. She's almost naked. This Courtney Forced Body video, this is way better. Why are you waiting for a hit play? There we go. Hang on. Sorry, I didn't mean interrupt.

Yeah, keep going. Again, don't hit. Don't stop it. Okay. Wait a minute. Skip into it a little bit. Let's get to the good stuff. There she is.

Is she naked in a desert? Oh, my God, she is. Brett, I'm going to dry hope you. That's an awful big tire she's sitting on. Look at this. She's crazy. No wonder she does this stuff. It's for the body issue for, is it Sports Illustrated?

Yeah, it's way that away. Get that back over here. of her. Is she naked? Yeah, I think so. Is that okay? I mean, I'm not getting... Would you feel awkward if you were naked and a bunch of people are taking your picture? Like this? It depends on how much they paid me. Dude, they wouldn't pay you shit.

Oh my God. Would you do that? I mean, would you get in a car that'd run 330 miles an hour potentially do that? Or body painting? Would you do body painting in front of other people? No. Why? I have... I do. No. I have a little bit of self-respect. What about you, Josh?

I was about to ask you what language you were saying. I wanted to say something that wouldn't offend anyone, but what do I care? I have too much self-respect, put it all out there. Yeah. So you wouldn't take pictures naked sitting on a drag race and tire in the desert? No, there's only one person that's supposed to see me naked. Yeah. It's out of respect to him.

Anyway, we wanted to ask cash. Travis Campbell. Asked. producer Amish Josh has chosen a few questions to ask the guys here. Are you all ready? At NASCAR guru. How does that $100,000 get divided up? All driver or driver team owner?

Just curious. You kind of already answered. We just told you, man. Based on contracts, you know, owners are going to get some. Why are you sweating so much? Because that drink he was drinking. Did the elliptical right before we got here. Yeah.

It depends on contracts, NASCAR guru. You know, sometimes the team is always going to get some and the driver is always going to get some. It depends on how that contract should. Spiter ain't going to get known. Nern. I get some if Elliot wins money, though. He's kind enough to say, here you go, homie. At Tams tweets us. How do you listen to four radios?

I don't. TJ listens to three. Yeah, I have Channel 1, Channel 2, and then NASCAR. I don't scan myself or do anything. You just get used to it. It's honestly, when you scan yourself, you get really comfortable with hearing it, and you know your radios are working,

but if you take that away, it's weird signing. You have to get used to it again. Yeah, channel one is us talking to the driver. Channel two is us, us being spotters, talking to the crew chief. NASCAR is our third radio. They tell us a lot of the occurrences within the race when the yellows are out, when we're going green, when pit roads are open, when T.J. speeds on pit road. And then the fourth radio is just used to listen to ourselves, which is something that kind of came into the industry as a result of some pilots like Danny Culler being a spotter.

He was actually the Lernern Hart Spotter. And pilots, when they are sitting in the cockpit talking, they have the same headsets that you and I have right now. They talk and they can hear themselves. So when you take that away and they're keying up a button and they're talking, they can't hear themselves. They freaked out. But what it did for us spotters that weren't pilots is it gave us an insurance policy to know if our cord's going bad or if we've got an issue when we key up and start talking, we're the first ones to hear the problem and we know we have to adjust our equipment. So that fourth radio is kind of like an insurance policy. At Improv QS, remember when NASCAR had 43 cars racing and 43 entries?

Now we can't get a full 40 car field. What happened? I mean, the economy is the first thing you can say there. I don't think the field's terrible now. It's obviously not the best it's ever been, but you're more on the economics, Brett. When they put the franchise piece in play, we said on the show, this was a race to 36, and that's what it did. I mean, we took 43 plus entries.

I mean, I remember going to Indy, going to Daytona, and having 55, 60 cars showing up to make a 43 car field. But when they did this franchise system and they put these, you know, 36 cars or whatever, they're falling under the franchise piece. They're getting a big portion of the TV money. You know, you used to go to Daytona and run last and win $70,000. And now if you go to Daytona and you're not a franchise guy and you run last, you win $20,000. Well, guess what? That doesn't pay your travel.

That doesn't pay your tires. So we're in a race, we said this on the show, to become a 36 car field. We actually have the full field in NASCAR's eyes as 36 cars. They're giving you four free enterprise spots for you to show up and say, I want a race and have an opportunity to do it. At Anthony underscore Barbone asks, is the racing now the best it has ever been in the sports history, in your opinion? I think the race is great right now.

The cars, they can get closer to each other than they could before. They're sliding around a lot more. The drivers are having more handling issues. They're getting away from being stuck to the ground. I know we're still stuck to the ground pretty good, but we're kind of trending in the direction where they're not now. And I mean, I thought the race has been good. I think our racing, I think the cars are certainly good.

I still believe the key to us putting on the best race possible falls on good to your shoulders. When I look back at the 70s and 80s when I think the racing was good, we were able to see the cars moving around a lot. At Dover, I was able to see those guys were going over bumps and loose into one, and the car was getting to them and making them loose off of two. Good Year controls that. If they bring a tire with a lot of grip that doesn't fall off on lap times, we're going to see a boring race.

If they bring a tire that allows us to lose grip, lap times fall way off, we're going to see a better race. But, I mean, you know, people were jumping up and down about how the racing was in the 90s and how it was the best ever and how they built sport on it. I remember going to Dover and coming home and seven cars. We're on the lead lap. So you look at yesterday, you know, we had 20 plus cars on the lead lap at the end of that race. I mean, I think NASCAR's done a lot of good things. I still think these cars are a little bit too slammed on the ground.

We're creating a lot of downforce. But overall, I think people need to realize that a lot of the product falls on good year. And what a great freaking monopoly they got. So I liked the fact that some guys, if you stretch it too far, you had a tire problem. I want to bring back having a guy have to manage his tires a little bit. I want a guy that sits about there in six or seven for 40, 50 laps. And then, you know, you're down to the last 20 or 30. And here comes this guy, knifing up through there because he was a little bit better at saving his tires.

Then you've got two guys, one a little bit slower, one a little bit faster, duking it out. you know, and that's what I want to see. So I like to see a little bit of tire management play. I know what not. There was a tiny bit of it dover. A couple guys had right front problems. And I like having. We've never had to worry about that.

New tires have to mean something. When we see guys, you know, when races on 30 lap tires who elected to stay out, I'm not a fan of that. I mean, to TJ's point, here's what Goodyear has. Goodyear has a monopoly on our sport because they're the only tire provider. So we're all going to ultimately run what they bring. What they're up against is, well, the good thing for them is they're selling us tires at $20,000 per team per weekend. But what they're up against is the PR side of it.

They don't want fans to watch on TV and see Goodyear tires fail. So therefore, they're tasked with building a tire that puts on a good show yet doesn't fail. And there are teams who can make the tire fail. You know, when we saw the tires fail yesterday, it doesn't mean that was on Goodyear. It could have mean too much camber. There's a lot of things it can mean. When he says too much camber, camber is basically speed. Yes.

When you can put camber in a car, it basically makes it turn better and it's speed, but it wears the hell out of the tire. Which is good. Which is good. It's a risk. It's not Goodyear's fault that you ran too much. Yeah. That's why you make runs in practice and you should make a fuel run and take a look at your wares and see if you can run that far. Yeah.

And it's a risk. It's a gamble. I always thought Jimmy Eledge, which is Carson Eledge's dad, was one of the better crew chiefs at really searching for and finding that edge on Canber and getting the car to turn. And he'd wear you out if he ever hit that mark. But he also wasn't afraid to maybe overstep it and blow some right front tires at places. But, you know, Goodyear is basically drawing the line now on where that is. And they put minimum air pressures to protect teams from themselves.

You can't go below these marks. Or if you do, you know, we're going to come and get you. And NASCAR is going to penalize you. And there was a point where NASCAR would roam up and out pit road checking those air pressures. when they have to start protecting us from ourselves, it's not for us. It's for their PR of blowing tires. Well, the worst part about it is Kyle has a tire problem,

gets out and just bashes Goodyear right away. And then you get other people that get out and they're like, they know, they understand it, but you don't want bad publicity with it. No, you don't. That's what happens. So it's going to happen when guys blow tires. No way is Kyle ever blowing a right front tire not blaming Goodyear. No, ever.

So do you guys have anything to rant about that? today? You know, I really enjoyed the run of races that we've had, which started at 1.15 p.m. on Sundays. I think they're great for the East Coast audience. I also think if I wake up on the West Coast at 10 a.m., it's good for me to be able to, because those people don't go to church. I mean. West Coast doesn't go to church.

No, I got a lot of friends out there. I got family out there. Like, we get up on the East Coast on Sunday morning. We go to church. We go to Grandma's for lunch. to a Golden Corral Buffet, and then we watch the damn race, right? West Coast people can get up, roll out of bed, drink a Bloody Mary, they can watch race. Dover marked the last cup race that will be run before 3 p.m. Eastern time until early September.

That I'm not a fan of, because I think we really have, our audience is still southeast, It's still East. It's still East Coast. It's still blue collar. And we're going to give those guys to Sunday afternoon to get something else to do to not tune in. So I would love to see real data, not made up data, real data on why in the hell we do that. Because I'm a fan of, I'd run these races at 1230. Yeah, the early, 1230 to 1 is the perfect start time.

I agree with that. And then, you know, that's perfect time. People are getting done with lunch. They want to come watch the race a little while, take a nap a little bit. And look at our stands, man. You put yourself in this position, okay? I'm going to go to Pocono. The race is going to start at 3.15.

It's going to start at 315. It's going to be over at 715. I got to go all the way home and then get up for work Monday morning. Imagine if you get a rain shower. No. Hey, if we get a rain shower at 2.30 on Sunday, this Pocono race will never happen. Yeah. And they don't have lights.

But, I mean, just looking at the... It takes forever to dry. What I was talking about... about it was TV audience initially. Now what I'm about is the people in the stands. I could drive from right here to Darlington, watch the race, come

home and go to work if it starts at 1 o'clock. You start making that thing end at 7, 8, 9 o'clock, and now I'm going to get home at midnight at 1 o'clock. I'm going to say, you know what, I'm going to stay home watching on TV. Like, we need to get help these tracks, put butts back in seats, and we're not doing that with these late start times. It's easier to get up early than it is to go late than it is to go late. People are more likely going to get up at 5 a.m. than they are getting home at 5 a.m. go to work.

Yeah, because you wake up and you feel good and let's face it, man, race fans like to have a good time. So they're going to go tailgate all day. They're worn out. That's half the day is way over with it at 3 o'clock. So all of June, all of July, and all of August, our races are starting after 3 p.m. Nothing before 3 p.m. on a Sunday. Not a fan. You know, clearly smarter people are making decisions, but, man, I'm not a fan. I'm glad I won't see my family. Boy, you got lucky yesterday on these DBC picks.

You got lucky with Hamlin at Kansas. So T.J. is still losing to Brett 8 to 5, but he did win this weekend. He beat me by one spot. One spot. One spot. Jones got in a wreck. Kyle's tire falls off. Kyle then has another pit issue. You had to come in with loose wheel or something.

I can't believe I lost. Kyle Busch to Eric Jones. We're going into Pocono. Who you got? Pocono. I don't even know who's left. Amarola is probably not a good pick. week, is he? Yeah, you should probably go with him.

I hope he's doing well, by the way. I mean, I haven't heard a lot of talk about his recovery the last couple weeks. Clearly, it was a big story for a while, but, I mean, as hard as that guy hit, I hope he's doing well. That's a serious deal. I'm going to go with the number 41 Haas Automation Ford of Mr. Kurt Busch, back-to-back Bush for me. All right.

I'll go with Chase Elliott. Oh, strong. Chase and Chase. What do y'all call Chase? Chase. Race and Chase from the same place? There you go. There he is.

You know Chase actually had Kurt beat the last time there. He did. He did. But he took the bait. Kurt gave him. Yeah, he did. I was out in the motor home lot after the one main financial 200, and Chase and Ryan were out there throwing a baseball. Chase's got a nice little toss.

Yeah. He's a big Braves fan. Ryan needs to work on his form a little bit. He doesn't really rear back all the way. He's kind of one of those half-cock guys and kind of, he doesn't really care. You don't need to work on his form. Still has great hair. Chase is a big baseball fan, though, so.

Is he? A huge race fan. Just because you're a fan doesn't make you good at it. Huh? Are you sure? I'm a fan of a lot of things I'm not good at. Dry hoping. I'm actually pretty good on the Olympic.

All right. We got your picks in for Pocono. We're headed to Pocono. If you guys are at Pocono Raceway this Friday, come on out to the Junior Nation Infield Block Party. It's free. All of our drivers are going to be there from seven to eight doing hilarious things on stage, and I'm going to be given away a bunch of free stuff.

I got a question about the block party. What does that mean? That means in the infield stage at Pocono. Where's that at? Right by that. It's in the main road. Yeah, it's right there by the intersection. It's in between the Xfinity and Cup garages.

It's free to get in there if you have a ticket. A donation of 10 bucks. If you don't have a ticket, and it goes to the firefighters of Pocono. And this is Friday evening. Friday evening, 7 to 8. Elliot Sadler, William Byron, Michael Annette, and Justin O'Gar will be there. Oh, wow. The guy who just won $100,000 is buying beer for all of us, even though he's not.

So, yeah, Oscar Blues will be there, sampling beer. You can buy beer. Underage people can buy beer for other people that are over 21, right? They just can't buy for themselves. And there's bands, there's bands and fireworks and all that stuff. So come on out. It'll be fun. We'll all be there.

Yeah. Are you going to be there? I will be there. Yeah, what are you doing with a sheet of paper right now? I'm going to beat you with it. Poconos fun. I do got to say. say I got a tweet, and I wish I had time to pull up a picture of it. It was from a race fan,

and they said that they went to a one main financial and got a loan because of our show. No way. Yes. That's awesome. I just feel like that at some point, here it is. I'll let you read it because you have a much better radio voice than I do. At AMA Hark, got an ad from One Main Racing today, called them about a loan. It's 100% because of Spotter Brett, T. J. Major's Kristen Bauer on door bumper clear, holla. Yeah. That's badass. This probably...

There was no mention of producer Amish Josh. No. It really hurts my feelings. You know what? One main is a fantastic company, and I'm not saying that because they're my sponsor. I got to hang out with the entire executive and investor team this weekend, and every time I'm with them, they are just phenomenal people. And Amanda just proved that our show is getting return on this sponsorship.

We probably all just got raises. Did. Blink, Blame. Yeah. Sweet. You don't get paid to do this? It's my salary. You and Josh don't get anything extra for this?

I get a pat on the back when people are having. Damn, TJ, I feel bad for it. I don't. It gives them something to do. Whatever. We'll take you out of dinner sometime. You had you had advice to a prom. You've had plenty of payment.

Yeah, that's what I want. That's a good payment. Yeah, you had choice. Give me the cash. You had options. Good Lord. All right, everybody, thanks to One Man Financial and Exaltia. This went off the rails.

It always does. It always. Listen to us. Give us some feedback. Let us know what you think. Get to us on Twitter or Facebook. Thanks for listening. Bye.
