to get started. This is Dale Jr. And you're listening to Dirty Moe Radio. Outside, door, bumper, clear of the 18th. Best car I had here in a long time. You're going to do it. You're going to win it. Right with you.

You're clear. Check the flag. You're win. Hey, everybody. I am T.J. Major. Spotter of the 88 Cup car, the 7xinity car of the 29 winning truck, usually when I'm not there. Brett Griffin, Spotter, Clint Boyer, Elliot, Souser.

Adler, this weekend, just Clint Boyer, man, we're road racing. Spinney guys are in Iowa. Yeah, you guys are ditching me, and I have to go to Iowa by myself. This is BS. You want to go to Sanoma? That's right. I really like Fat Cat, and I haven't seen him in a long time. So you made fun of me all weekend, so we're broke up anyway.

Well, if you show up to the racetrack without your hard card and your spotter bag, there's a problem. That was not good. That's like a bad dream. You only need two things at the racetrack as a spotter. a credential to get you where you want to go. Your radio. And a radio to be able to talk to people. And I get there and I got neither.

And so I walk in the NASCAR truck, and I don't even know if we can tell this story, but I'm going to tell it anyway. I walk in the NASCAR truck and I'm like, hey, guys, by the way, we land at 940, right behind Dell Jr. and T.J., got to be there at 11. And long story short, Clint's plane broke. And my spotter bag was on his airplane. Well, his airplane was in Wichita, Kansas. I wasn't in Wichita, Kansas.

So I get to the racetrack. I go into the NASCAR hauler and I'm like, hey, I need to get a paper pass to go in the garage to get a spotter pass to be able to get to the roof to do my job. They said, that's going to be $330. That's ridiculous. I was like, are you sh**ing me? I don't have $330. And I was like, I just need a pass. And they were like, that's going to be $330.

I was like, I'm not working a day. I'm getting ready to call and sick because I don't have $330. They ended up working the system a little bit and I got to pass for a fraction of that cost. That's ridiculous on so many levels because people know who you are. You're not trying to like... Screw anybody.

Right. You're just like, I need to go do my job. I forgot it. I think there's a way that you should be able to look up and see that you have one. They did. And their whole thing was you lost your hard card is $330. I said, oh no.

I know exactly where my heart card is. It's in my spotter bag in Wichita, Kansas, which will be here when the plane is fixed. It's still $330. I guess what's happened is crew guys were taking advantage maybe of that system. But nonetheless, I was like, I don't have $330. So now what are we going to do? I just need a little bitty sticker to get to the roof.

Yeah, I don't know why there shouldn't. There's got to be, people have got to know that sometimes freak stuff happens. You walk out, leave your hard card on your dress or something. It shouldn't cost you $300 to leave your hard card. Yeah, no. Normally you can get it within a day or two. or something. For sure.

Yeah, we went to Lake of the Ozarks all week and had an absolute blast. One of my favorite places ago, T.J's been before. And Clint's plane left to go get worked done on it, which we didn't even know was going to happen. Otherwise, I would have kept my spotter back with me. And so your communication is key text. Yeah, that's what I told you. Communication is still key to life.

His pilot didn't communicate that the plane was freaking leaving where we were. And then, of course, just like anything else, it goes in the shop. Well, of course, they find things wrong. It doesn't get out on time. We end up chartering another plane. It was a complete I kind of blame the pilots on this a little bit. Me too.

Because almost every time we get off the airplane and we pack up or whatever they're like, all right, they check and make sure every bag is picked up and you don't forget anything. They've come running under the plane before with a phone or something. Hey, somebody forgot this.

Yeah. I mean, who, I don't know. To me, to me the pilots were sleeping on that one. So what, racing electronics then hooked you up with more radius? Racing electronics, literally. John Lebec just flat out. hook me up with everything. It was like I didn't even forget my spotter bag other than the fact that I forgot my

spotter bag. And you didn't have your snacks. Yeah. I will say racing electronics has always been like that. Anytime they've always taken care of the spotters. That's their business, obviously, too, the team of spotters. Awesome. They are very good about.

My boss man, Justin, coming through with the radio read. With a print-up stuff. Thank you so much. What's up? I've always had a saying that a lack of planning on your part does not constitute a crisis on mine and I was in full-bone crisis mode with 45 minutes to get everything right. That's like wake it up and looking at your clock and practice starts in 30 minutes. Yeah.

And you know you're not going to make it or something or it's bad. It was weird coming through the garage this weekend and I ran into both Hamlin and T.J. And I was very startled because I haven't seen them in the garage in like. We had breaks though. Yeah, but I was like, what are you doing down here? I had breaks. I saw you strolling. I never know what you're doing in there.

Yeah, we're normally on the roof from. like eight until five or six o'clock at night on Friday. So maybe if you came to the roof and strolled around there, you'd see it. You should come visit us. I should come visit on the roof? Yeah. Yeah. Because I'm doing my job.

Where's the good roof she should visit? Kentucky. No. Jokes. Jokes. So let's talk about the roof for a second. Michigan this week puts coolers on the roof with some waters and ice in them. How nice is that?

That's multiple times a year of tracks have done this. I'm hoping maybe not to name any tracks, but Kentucky, if you could do this, it would be awesome. Kentucky Speedway has the most, you know how you get to school and somebody wins that most improved award? And in order to win that, you kind of had to suck to start with because if you're already good and you get great, you're not going to win it. But if you suck and you get good, you can win most improved. Kentucky Speedway has an opportunity this year to win most improved. Should we tag them in this podcast? Absolutely.

Yeah. Who sends out these podcast tweets anyway? They don't even tag us and we're in the fucking show. The roof isn't even that big there. The roof's not even that big. There's only a little bit of shade. And normally... What's the best spotter stand?

I mean, Daytona's pretty... Yeah, Daytona. Phoenix is actually very well done. They bring up buckets. They cut off the bottom of 55-gallon drums like plastic barrels and fill them with ice constantly throughout the day. We don't need... We don't need you to buy drinks for us. or whatever.

So I should come to Daytona? Yeah. It's nice. You got to come up there and say, are you coming to Daytona early? It's actually just a good view, too. When are you coming to Daytona only? I love Daytona, but it is hot as hell.

It is hot as 40 hells. Another thing about Kentucky is there's only one spot of shade. And normally, and it's right under where this camera is. Everyone's hovering there. No, we can't even get under there because there's this little chubby dude to get there before everybody that sets up a camera. He is, man. And he hogs this whole space.

He sits in this lawn. chair and has this camera that doesn't even move and he just sits there. What an idiot. You know what I'm talking about. Exactly. And he takes up the whole area under there. And I'm like, dude, it's 200 degrees. You mind giving him it out.

No. No. I'm in a shade. Yeah, I'm in a shade. It's what TJ call him a chubby dude? Well, he is. There's this chubby dude. I don't know.

We keep talking about roofs. I got a question. There's this drug that we've all heard of. Why do they call them roofies when you want them to be on the floor? Why wouldn't you call it a floory? You stole that. I did. I don't understand it, though.

I don't know. Josh, look it up. Why are they called roofies? I'm not looking at that. Have you ever taken a roofie? No, I've never done drugs. Jal see the picture Josh put in our group me yesterday of Zima? Or Zima's making like a major comeback?

For the summer. So Millicor brought them back for the summer for a limited time. Oh, they own that? Well, yeah, they own the... I think they had... I think they were producing them over in Europe. Okay. And then they brought them back for...

a limited time here in the summer. And they're actually, so Will, my roommate and I were at Davidson Beveridge Company yesterday, and there were two Zimas left in the cooler. Nistalgia. It was awful. It was? It tasted so bad. I got a fine one.

Elliot tells the story about how he has no idea how he got any girls in high school or college because he liked Zimas and he looked like such a tool drinking him. Yeah. It's like I love the taste of me. You gotta love the fact that we're talking about drinking Zima's in high school. That's legal. Yeah. Zima's at Cisco, the preferred drink for underage drinkers.

Are you sh-me? They both went away. I went to this 10th grade party. Had some Mike's hard lemonade. It honestly tastes like Sprite, but with a ton of carbonate. What was the other? There was Zima, Mites Hard Lemonade. What was the other one?

Smir-off ice. Oh, yeah. That was like lemonade. What was that thing if you like clank someone's beer with it? You had to like chug it. Yeah. Or is that any beer? That's any beer, but like if you got iced.

Oh, the ice. Surprise somebody with us. I'm already all, but like Boone's Farm. Oh, Boone's Farm. Two bucks chutz. Cisco. That was the underage drinker's choice, I guess. Boons Farm was disgusting.

It was kind of a jerk. It's a jerk move to do that to somebody's in beer, by the way. Oh, yeah. Because that ruins a whole beer. Yeah. I'm going to tell you what I do. Whoever does it to me, I put my thumb over the top and I spray it all over them. I'm like, go ahead.

I'm going to get another beer. If you want to do that again, you can smell more like beer. So, we, uh... So, TJ, you didn't brush your hair this morning. I did with my fingers. You fingered your hair? Look at your hair. Is it bad?

It just looks like you woke up. Only thing about TJ is it's just his neck hair. I'm actually going to try to get my hair cut this one. He needs to get that shit lazered. No way. It doesn't hurt. Yeah, okay. lasered. You can get like your legs.

You can get like your legs, but that did not answer the question. Arm pits? So we just left Michigan where it was hotter than the ninth level of hell. I am trying not to me. You shut up. It was not hot at all at Michigan. Oh, it's gross. It was not. It was very moist. It was so humid. It just hung in the air. Kristen's hair on race day looked amazing. It was huge. The hottest part was there in McSfinney race when the sun came out and it raised up like 20 degrees. That was bad.

That was bad. Raining on your armpits, your lasered armpits. Oh, man. Okay. You guys are ridiculous. You brought it up. So we're going to go into spot-on, spot off because it talks about Michigan. All right, ready?

Spot on, spot off. Brett, you're going first. The debris caution on lap 181 in the cup race. Spot off, period. I mean, this thing had a lot of things wrong with it. Tony Stewart pointed it out on Twitter. pointed it out, I was told on his video, post-race video, which I think is cool, that he does that.

Number one, where is the debris? Number two, it's irrelevant. Number three, why did it take them five laps to pick it up? Like, what happened for five laps? I mean, we had a multi-car wreck that we cleaned up in three laps. So to the point to a lot of guys who have a lot more sway in their opinion than I do, like, what was the point of all these stage racing? I honestly think we had such a phenomenal ending to the Xfinity race with that late race restart.

The Cup race, it was impossible to pass. Probably the worst race track, worst tire combination we've had in my life. And I think they were just trying to make it a good show. Apparently you forgot about Indy and that tire that blew out every 10 laps. Well, that was more entertaining than this. Yeah. So I'll go spot off as well. We race with a cowboy hat.

on the racetrack for a numerous. My, Del Jr. tried to hit it. He tried to move it down the track one time. I can see him doing that. He literally, I don't know how he didn't hit it. And he went by and it didn't even move. He didn't move. So we kept racing.

And we got a, we're not, now we have debris cautions and we have stages. So before we, these stages are supposed to help with this stuff. I mean, unless there's a big chunk of matter. I don't land in the racetrack. I don't care about a piece of debris laying up by the wall. Like, we always get debris cautions for the wrong reasons, it appears to me. My question, though, is why five laps? What were they doing for five laps?

Have you not watched some of the safety people before? YouTube the videos. They trip all. They were tripping for five lapses. I don't know why. A caution should not take more than three laps for debris. You get the leader behind the pace car. You open pit road the first time lead lap cars.

You open pit road the second time for the lap down cars. One to go to line. Yeah. And then you race. So next. Spot on, spot off. Denny's excessive burnout after the Xfinity win. He won by 0.012 seconds.

Spot off. I mean, have you not won before? Geez. I was just annoyed in general. Yeah, I mean, I'm glad. Kristen was not annoyed. Kristen was pissed. I have never seen a cup driver do an excessive burnout in an Xfinity win.

This guy, at Denny Hamlin, I think a lot of him. He's super talented. He's got a Daytona 500 win. He beat a rookie in the Xfinity race, and he did a burnout for a complete mile blowing out the quarter pounds of this car. Like, what in the world? We got to stop this.

I mean, number one, we got a first time winner last week that barely spun his tires leaving a pit stop. Right. And doesn't do this crazy celebration. honestly a very traditional um i don't even know what parade lap kind of yeah like like man this is great i'm really enjoying this i don't need to do some long burnout and blow the cordial panels off my car i'm really going to i'm going to high-five everyone down to front stretch and appreciate this you know and um i don't know i mean let's talk about celebrations a minute okay when you won back in the

day you couldn't celebrate in terms of blowing motors blowing rear quarter panels, blowing out crushed panels, because you might want to race that car next week. You might want to use that motor again. Back in the day, they had to. Resources were so limited when you won the race, man, you politely won the race. And now I'm all for a dude to celebrate,

and especially his first win, second win, big wins, you know, Coke 600s, Daytona 500s. But for Denny, a guy who's won a ton of cup races, and obviously a ton of extended race, it's a very accomplished racer to go out and do this excessive burnout, just tells us they're hiding something. Something. Yeah, I mean, and Denny's won way bigger races than this. This isn't, this wasn't Michigan Xfinity race. Come on. I mean, barely be a rookie. Yeah. I mean, I think you can.

Yeah. Freddie Kraft was spotting for William Byron because our friend Earl had someone in his family pass away. And so Freddie was doing Bubba Wallace full time in Xfinity. So this was Freddie's first race with William Byron first race, obviously with J.R.M. And he lost by a foot. He's never won an Xfinity race. I was wanting to see William win the race, but also for Freddie, man. I was like, man, this is going to be cool. And when he took such a big lead, I was like, he's got it. And then, God.

Yeah. He didn't get it. He overdrove three. Yeah. That was heartbreaking. Yeah. Honestly, that was the best thing that could have happened to William Byron right there. And way he handled it.

Oh, my. How classic. William's, he's got a bright future. I'm looking forward to, uh, it's cool because William's kind of like a, He's a mixture between, like, how he handles things like that. He reminds me a little bit of, like, Dale Jr. And, like, Jimmy Johnson kind of at the same time. Yeah.

He's a good mixture. If you were going to handpick a guy to go in 88, would you handpick him? Or would you say he needs another year? I definitely, I'm always for the two-year plan on Xfinity. I think you need to go to these places twice before you get stepped up there too early. You know, unless you go and get in the best equipment. We work for Ryan Blaney. what's he out year two

well he run you know he run the truck deal then you run a limited Xfinity limited cup yeah but here's the deal with the Xfinity stuff they sandwiched him between two cup guys one is a champion so when you can go to the racetrack every week and you've got a champion and another guy that's championship caliber

if you're switching off with them you're in good stuff right you're getting good info it's not you all year giving the same info I think that's definitely a I think that helped him honestly. Yeah. No pressures of winning a championship. Learn as much as you can from these guys.

Yeah. And they're going to fine-to in that car, too. And I think Ryan did a great job in that, but, you know. Williams is a very smooth race car driver. He's very smooth. He's made a few, uh, he's made a few rookie mistakes, but nothing huge. Nothing crazy. Yeah.

No. Super smooth. Oh, sorry. Spot on, spot off. Jimmy Johnson signs three-year extension with Hendrick and Lowe's Home Improvement. Is he going to win 11 champions for 10? Geez. I mean, it's very possible.

11. So if he goes to 2020, what's they get him? Three more years after this? Yeah. Yep. I mean, that's so 11. He's 42, Josh. How old is Jimmy?

42. 42. Getting her done. Two wins this year? Mm-hmm. Yep. Probably. I mean, he's the only Hendrick guy to win,

which is hard to believe, considering how dominant Hendrick's been in years past. There's a lot of really good guys that had won yet. Spot on, man. Jimmy Johnson, Lowe's. The Lowe's announced an extension to match this or just Jimmy? I thought it was just Hendrick. Jimmy's won so much damn money.

He probably doesn't even need a sponsor. They can just be like, no, he's going to sponsor himself. Yeah. Loz extended. Jimmy Johnson driving the Jimmy Johnson 48 car. Yeah. You got a, I mean, Pinsall did a seven-year extension with Lugano this year, I think. Longest one I've certainly ever heard of in my career.

It's good to see these guys getting re-signed, man. It's a big deal. Yeah, I agree. That's honestly. I hope Jimmy wins two or three more championships just to prove his legacy and how lucky we are to watch him race. Yeah, I mean, my only struggle with Jimmy Johnson's legacy

is why is he not our Tiger Woods? Like, what, and it's too late now on the PR side. Like Tiger Woods at its greatest or Tiger Woods now? No, no. Tiger Woods is his greatest. Not, I don't know where I'm at Tiger Woods with flat tires.

I think he's too neat and too too perfect. Yeah, but he's not. I mean, he doesn't... He's not. Jimmy's not walking out of shoe shows. But, I mean, he's falling off of golf carts. That was way back in the day.

But that's when you needed him to be the guy. But he wasn't the guy then. The PR team back then failed miserably. This guy should have been painted as this guy's going to be. I mean, Joy Lugano got here as sliced bread. The best thing since sliced bread, Mark Martin called him. And he had that PR buzz. Jimmy Johnson gets here.

There's no. PR buzz even after three championships. Jimmy's PR buzz was the turn one wreck at Watkins Glen in the bush car. Yeah. But honestly, Jimmy didn't have a lot of success then, so there wasn't anything to pump up. Yeah, but he had success when he got here. He definitely. And it, I just don't understand where from a branding standpoint, his brand to me is awesome,

but from the team standpoint, like, this guy should have been Tiger Woods. Somebody missed it somewhere. Because Dale Jr.'s Tiger Woods for a lot of right reasons. But this guy should have been. been Tiger Woods Jr. I think it's cool they have it. They do it in their different ways, though. Like, Del Jr. is like that because of what he is to everybody, how he handles every situation,

not because he wins every week on the racetrack. But still, Del Jr.'s persona and personality is everywhere in our sport. Jimmy's is not. It's very suppressed. To me, Jimmy wins. You know, Jimmy's always more on the racetrack, but Del Jr. wins away from the racetrack more than anyone else. Yeah.

I mean, he's funny. I mean, I'm glad he's on social media stuff now. I mean, Jeff Gordon. Dude, same deal. You know, California boy, gone indie racing, you know, going on Open Will racing. He was Tiger in the 90s there for a while. He was a media darling. And Jimmy could have been too, but somebody missed it somewhere.

I don't think Jimmy never really had any good, you know, Jeff would get in some fights every now and then, too. Jimmy never really had that. He was like Josh said, he was just too perfect all the time. Jeff Gordon took us to Hollywood. He took us to New York. He took us mainstream. He also took you to the Walt Phoenix. He took me to Walt Phoenix.

But I mean, he had, what an idiot. But he had some fire, you know what I mean? He did. He did. He did. He never makes the wrong decision to get in a bad situation. Yeah. When Jimmy wrecks, he wrecks by himself and then it saves it. In practice.

And then he wins a racing a backup. And then so in these other guys, they get in altercations on the racetrack. Jimmy's just, he seems to always afford that. Jimmy wins a championship two years ago and does a complete reenactment of the hangover with two of his buddies. He's Kyle, this tire guy, and Earl of Spotter. That should have been on TMZ or something. I just don't understand why the media didn't gravitate toward him because this guy is, I mean. Honestly, if you know Jimmy, he's a fun guy.

Yeah. But he's just the media is so he's so perfect in everybody's eyes. Yeah. So I don't know. I never, I loved a snowsky and I had never drank before or during snow skiing. Really? No, because I loved it. And I was all like I got to be.

you know, Bode Miller or whatever. And we, I happen to be in Snowmass and Aspen when Jimmy and them were out there. And they were all out of bed and take patrol shots and hit the slopes. And I was like, holy, I'm going to hit a treat. Some of the best days. But to T.J.'s point, he's a fun dude. I just understand why he didn't. Great dude.

Become more of a media darling, you know. Some of the best days were when Jimmy Elledge and Jimmy Johnson lived next to each other, that was a bad. Big combo. That was a bad combo. But you could literally. Shane was like, we're getting married, we're leaving the lake. When one would have a party, it was a two-house party.

You just walked back and forth between the two houses. Hornaday raised him guys, man. And he's, I mean, Hornaday raised Harvick. He raised Jimmy. That's one thing that I wish I was here for more was some of Hornaday stuff, because I've always heard great, fun things about him. Yeah, there's probably skeletons under his house. Crazy.

Yeah. Spot on, spot off. Hornish back in the 22 for both Iowa and mid-term. Ohio. You know, I've got to go spot off. This is an opportunity for a young up-and-comer to take the reins here and show some talent and show some promise. This is a rookie's chance to shine in the Xfinity Series when you take all the Cup guys out, basically. And now, you know, this is the chance to put, like, Roush has that Majeski kid running at Memphis, or, not Memphis, Iowa.

Yeah. So that's... Tomajski. They're giving this kid a chance to shine right here. And this kid's a short track racer and probably going to be pretty good. So, you know, nothing against Sam Hornish, Indy 500 winner, accomplished racer himself,

mainly in indie cars, struggling on the cup side. But, you know, to me, this is where I bring some kid in that's been running some marker or something or doing something, you know, just an up-and-coming guy and you plug him into these races.

I don't understand the whole Ford relationship. at this point with Bubba Wallace. You know, here's a guy that's locked into the playoff in Xfinity if he just runs the rest of the races. Here's a guy that could get into this 22 car this weekend and potentially win at Iowa. He's not a road racer. So you can have him in Sonoma.

You can let him practice in Sonoma, let him do whatever. But this is a guy that I would have flown in for the race at Iowa and put him in a Ford and give him an opportunity. He's never been in equipment that can win weekend. and week out. This is an opportunity for Ford to place him in equipment that we know can win and they didn't. So I'm with

DJ on this man. I don't understand this Hornish move. Obviously he's going to go run well. Old Hornish would wreck it. New Hornish may not. I mean I'm not going to lie. If I'm Penske, I am calling somebody like I'm going to go get the kid that's got the hot shoe now in the truck series. I'm going to go put Briscoe

in that race. He just ran Gateway. I almost won it. Almost won Texas a week before. There's a lot of choices that makes sense. I mean, I'm going to go get Brisco or somebody like that to run this race. Yeah. All right, we're going to take a break. One Man Financial is hosting a contest, the race to Whiskey River sweepstakes.

Rebuttal. Let's just get Josh to do to sound like that.

Josh, that's fast pissing. That's not fast pussing. That's champagne. Oh, according to this thing. Champagne, not fast lane. You know what would be awesome? If Josh just randomly pushed

sound bites throughout the show over there, you know, when he didn't like something, I would be over there like, yeah. You should just do that. Oh, no, that. That dying guy. That's what Josh sounded like last week when he rolled his ankle of basketball.

That's what I looked like a leg of Ozarks. Josh refused to wear his walking boot at the racetrack. Why? Josh, Josh, you got hurt? Yeah. Wow. Oh, he did. Oh, he didn't talk about it.

It was close to tears. I felt bad. Did you land on somebody's ankle? Yeah, rolled his ankle. Or you landed on foot. Yeah, basically we were going up for a rebound. Who were you going against? False man.

Del Jr.? Listen, I'm not going to lie. You tried to kill Del Jr.? You asked. You tried to, no, I didn't try to do anything. I tried to get the ball. I came down on my ankle the wrong way. Josh, you could hold your hand up and he can't even touch the top of your hand.

Listen, I'm not going to lie. Del Jr. was guarding him, and I was playing point guard. I took every chance. I would just tell him down there to Josh. You know, I wanted to see what was going to happen. And two out of like the three times, Del Jr. It was the funniest shit ever seen, man. I had to help him up twice.

And then Del Jr. hurt Josh. And then Josh went up for a rebound, and I'm guessing he came down. I mean, honestly, I don't know if I'm not sure why you jump because have you ever seen him jump? Neither have I. No joke, though. He sent me a picture of his foot and it was gnarly. So I sent him to my sister-in-law who's a foot and ankle surgeon.

Yeah. And she straight up put him in a boot. And he refused to her. Yeah, so. It's too terrible. The boot, though, is huge. He looks like the Terminator one. I looked like a freaking Megatron over there.

Transformer. Like you're wearing a ski boot. Make sure you get there a little early on it so we can hit you with that needle. That's funny. We got Josh has to ice up, son. All right. Fast lane. First question, Brett's first.

Kyle Bush spun on lap one of the Xfinity series race on Saturday. Then he drove way too fast down pit road, clearly breaking the speed limit of pit road. He did get a penalty for speeding and entering pit road when it was closed. Both penalties put him at the tail end. Should the penalty have been more severe for the excessive speed? This is the most excessive speed I've ever seen on pit road. Straight up, the most excessive I've ever seen coming barely. I'm going to guess he was running 150 miles.

I told our guys to watch out because I was so afraid of something, a right rear going flat or something, him spinning right there. I mean, it could have happened. I saw David Hoots, who calls our races the next day, and I said, David, if I wrecked today, can I run 200 miles an hour down pit road into my pit box to save time to fix my car? And he said, I wouldn't try it. This has to be dealt with.

Josh, I haven't any got to talk about it. They talked about it. Hey, man, 30 seconds. It's not two minutes. Give me seven more. they literally didn't do anything to him. Tail end of the longest line is not okay. Gigantic fail on the race director's part for not penalizing that.

We've penalized people for speeding up five-mile-hour to beat the pace car, and we've held them for one lap. You're letting a guy that continuously gets away with stuff that, you know, to me, life lessons that should have been taught a long time ago. He's never been reprimanded enough for what he does. Wait a minute. So, T.J. let his team know. that Kyle was coming barely down and you didn't let us know.

Coming to you, Spars. Sorry. Come to you, guys. What's out, guys? What's out, crew guys? Really sorry, guys. You're okay, crew guys. Coming to you, pick crew.

There has to be, they should have held him five laps. They should have parked him. This was, I've never seen anything this success. One lap is not enough, in my opinion right there. No. It was going to get one lap back. It was crazy. Yeah.

What if one, like, what if our, like, our gas man was out there blowing off the? No, I mean, what if the left front? front blows and it hooks him into the wall. He wrecked. He had damage. He could have got a flat tire. It's possible to happen. I know Kyle's going to sit there and say, hey, it was safe. I didn't feel anything, but you never know. Hey.

So the quote is, I actually screenshot it and stuff. So after the race in a poker story, he goes, this is quoted from Kyle. The car was the biggest piece of out there, and I made something happen with it, Bush said. That's what happens when you put a driver like me out there. is so arrogant. He is so in love with himself. So that does

if you don't drive like that, you don't have damage to have to dig out of that hole. So, you know, you probably don't know this. Did you know that Kyle Bush's spotter decided to go down and tell Joey Meyer that that was their fault? Yeah. No. I didn't know

that. That wasn't. Yeah. So, Joe, the 22 was there. Joey Meyer. later. Joey Meyer tweeted later that night is like it's bad day when you know when someone comes out. It's your fault. Like I'm trying to figure out Kyle in Kyle's eyes he said Brad should have been more patient. Kyle would have done the exact same thing. Yeah. When has Kyle Busch ever not taking a run that he had? I like Herschman but he's drinking a f*** cool late if he believes that. That's ridiculous, man.

I enjoyed how loud the cheers were when he spun. Yeah. Dude, I'm going to tell you all what. That when he passed, when Blaney passed, Cobbush at Pogana, that place erupted. I couldn't hear it. Maybe his quote is just playing a villain and he's not really that arrogant. Yeah. I will say this. I could actually hear the crowd when William was passing for the lead and stuff as well.

That's awesome. Yeah, that was pretty cool to hear. But anyway, back to the bonehead. Yeah, that's a little arrogant and stuff too. What a b-ha-ha-ha. Yeah. Which was your favorite win of Father's Day weekend? Nemech, Denny, or Larson?

And T.J. You know, I've watched John Hunter drive the last several months, and he's been driving very desperately, and he's been making bad decisions. But I'm glad to see a truck like that get a win. I like seeing guys underfunded equipment make waves and make it happen. And it was cool to see him and his dad in Victory Lane. So hopefully this can help them keep rolling for the rest of the season. I mean, three different scenarios, two different scenarios. Denny and Larson both have kids.

It's cool they won on Father's Day weekend, but I think it is cooler that Nemech won. Here's the thing, though, they're almost out of money. There was a lot of talk that they wouldn't even be able to run this race. So for them to get there, be able to win, obviously win enough money to get to go to the next couple. Like, I mean, we're to a point in the sport where guys that are extremely talented, like Bubba Wallace, like John Hunter and Nemichick, don't have the funding to race. That needs to be a topic of conversation to generate some potential sponsorship.

for these guys because that's a big deal. Yeah, and, you know, it's good to see he won the first stage, too, and you can see it in his driving. I'm hoping this, I feel like he's been driving too hard. When he wasn't driving that hard, he was finishing, you know, second, third, fourth, fifth, blah. I mean, he was running good. And he's not in the greatest stuff. Let's be honest.

Now at Texas, he's hard in guys' doors, and they're coming up the track and wrecking him. You're making your own luck when you do that to somebody. So hopefully this relieves a little bit of that pressure, and he can go out there and knock out. some more top fives. The first road course race of this year is coming up in Sonoma. Will we see a new winner come this weekend? Another new winner, Brett.

I got to say, yeah. I mean, this is one of those wild card weekends. I mean, you look at guys, Clint Boyer, Jamie McMurray, A.J. Amandinger. There's a lot of guys that are capable, Kyle Bush, that are very capable of winning that haven't won this year. And this is probably there, they're called a victory lane, I think. Yeah. whoever is in turn 9 when the coach comes out for a shop rag is going to probably win the race.

So keep that in mind. Shop rag. Whoever is in turn 9. There's a cigarette. Yep. Put it out. That's how Kyle Bush won this race a couple of years ago. He's in turn 9.

There's a literally a rag laying fart on the racetrack. Put it out. He pits. He hits pit road as soon as he crosses the line. If he cycles to the lead. And you put Kyle Busch in the lead. Unless he blocks twice, you're not going to get it back. No.

I'm a hard answer. I don't have a rebuttal. Martin Truex Jr. and Kyle Larson are neck to neck in the point standings. Kyle leads by five. Larson has three stage wins and 13 playoff points, while Truex has 10 stage wins and 20 playoff points. Jesus. Please explain to the listeners how important these stage wins and playoff points are.

Do we have to call Martin Truex a starter? Instead of the closer. You know, they call Harvard the closer? Is Martin Truex the starter? Because he wins stage after stage after stage. You know, I don't really know how these playoff points are going to pay off at the end. They're going to be a big deal. I mean, it's going to be a big deal.

But I don't think we're going to see how big of a deal it really is until we wipe the slate clean. They get that points sitting there. Then it's going to be, you know, then it's going to be a bigger deal. So these 20 playoff points that Truex has accumulated, they go on top. top of his points. So we reset the points, then he's plus 20. So he is basically going to have one race that he could sit out. That's how many points he's going to have by the time this playoff thing gets here. He may have enough stage points to take him all the way through to Homestead. I mean, that's what everybody is racing so hard for in these stages. Finishing second

through 10th gets you regular season points, but winning these stages gets you playoff points. These two guys are almost going to have a buy in the first round because of these playoff points. That's a big deal. Yeah, that is. I mean, You're right. It could carry it through at least a handful of races. He can start it off and afford to have some bad luck. Yeah. So, and no one true X's luck, he probably will.

So he's probably. Yeah. And here's my, and I mean, here's my two, just to elaborate. Like when you're racing right now, you're racing 39 individuals on the racetrack, if we have a full field. When you start the playoff, you're not racing that many people. You're racing 15 guys. So to have that big of a points cushion to a guy like, just say,

who's won, Blaney, who won, right? I mean, he has some points, but, like, that big cushion is going to carry him a long, long way, especially when you look at dudes that may not win at all to get in. They may not have, you could start with zero playoff points. Yeah, I mean, Elliott's crew chief made the decision this weekend in Michigan to sort of take that playoff point. Big gamble. Absolutely, because that playoff point is a big deal.

I mean, us, the seven probably has the most. What do you got? Probably seven or eight playoff points in Xfinity. I really don't know. You get five for winning a race, one for winning the stage. Elliot's got three stage points. They're a big deal, period. The off-the-wall topic, Mayweather and McGregor are scheduled to fight on August 26th.

The odds are heavy on Mayweather since this is traditional boxing. If McGregor pulls out the upset, do you think there's going to be a rematch? No, there's no rematch here. I mean, the gambling is like Mayweather minus 750. That means you got to bet $750 to win $100. McGregor was like plus 580, so if you bet 100 and he wins, you win $580 plus your hundred back. This is, I don't even understand why this is a big deal when the odds in Vegas are that big. I read something online that.

You know who's going to win at that point. Yeah, I read something online that McGregor's trainer knocked him out, like they were doing the whole sparring thing and his trainer, because they'd slap the piss out of each other, that they were doing this deal. his trainer knocked him out. Like, if he's that soft, Mayweather will kill him. Mayweather is not going to lose this fight. No. He's already, so if he wins this fight, he become, the only reason Mayweather is fighting this fight, in my opinion, is that he is going to break a record by doing it.

He's 14 and 0 right now. If he... Mayweather's the first guy to make it rain. He definitely is made a rain. But if he wins this next fight, he becomes 15 and 0, and he's the only guy to ever do that. so and he's already trademarked it. All right.

We're going into hashtag AskDBC where producer Amish Josh has chosen a few questions. Would you let me whether hit you one time? Just pow! Would you let him just not you? But would you let him hit you? I mean, a jab or us? Like for money?

I mean, maybe a jab. Money, no. Jab? I mean, we talk a fist or glove? Glove. I'd probably let him jab me once. If I get a hit him back, I'd do it. He's a little bit.

He's a little bitty, dude. He ain't biggest case of King. I was in a club called Jet. Yeah, but he's a little bit of him. Oh, muscle. Case King's muscle, what are you trying to say, man? I don't think Floyd's that strong. I saw him in a club one time.

He's about 5-5, 110 pounds. He was in jet, and he had a, God, almighty, the biggest security guards in America with him. But he made it rain. He can't defend himself. He don't have to. He's a freaking worth hundreds of millions of dollars. He lives in Vegas.

Does he really? Oh, yeah. Floyd's main thing is his speed and quickness and stuff. You can't hit him. No, you can't hit him. When's the last time you've seen Floyd get real hurt? They don't hit him. No.

He literally sits there and waits for you to make the mistake and just takes advantage over it the whole time. You swing, he twirks. It's crazy. His fights are the worst fights to watch because he doesn't fight. That Pacchio fight. He didn't even swing at Pacchio any one. Yeah.

Anyway, sorry, Chris. At Lacey Bazna asked, with Xfinity Drivers only winning two of the 13 races, do you all think there will be another cup driver rule change next year? I've already said it on here. Yeah, we won't see any. I think we'll see some in Exfinity. I don't think we'll see any in Trupp, but I definitely think that there's,

I don't think we'll see any in DASH for Cash. I think we got another rule change common, Lacey. I am all for this, by the way, as well. I'm excited to, I think something needs to be done to where we get these full fields of kids in there and stuff instead of. Kids and Elliot. He ain't a kid. Well, I mean, Algar and a kid.

Regular. Regular. I mean, Algar has been a cup driver. I don't mind those guys. cup driver. I mean, I don't mind a veteran being in there that's running the whole series. Right, that's declared. Yeah, like that's declared for that series.

First, just cherry picking. Yeah. At Hey, Jason Schultz asks, what's the next step for the cup cars arrow package in 2018 to produce better racing? Michigan wasn't very entertaining. Is there like a love sign on y'all's paper? It's a W. I thought it was like a rock out. Rock out.

Oh, I thought it was like, woo. He was editing. Raise your lighters. Instead of wasting more. What's the question? change your handle to hey Brett Griffin Hey Spotted Brett. Hey Brett. Hey, Brett. What's the next step for Cupcars? Aero package. Hey, Potter. In 2018.

I was entertained by Michigan. Were you drunk? Yeah, that was the... Oh, no, yeah, I was asleep. I was talking about the Xfinity race. Oh, yeah. Even the Xfinity race. It was entertaining because guys were up out of the group, but that's not Michigan. That's not the track that we're used to having. There was one lane, and you had to pray that you didn't get loose or somebody got you lose. It's the widest racing groove. The

widest racing surface with the most narrow racing groove. That used to be, it was like Rockingham on steroids. You could run anywhere. It produced a great race. It was like a bigger Atlanta. Honestly, it was cool because there was some bumps on the bottom, and I stick or tires. You get your car handling real good. You get down there. And then

as the race went on, you moved up and up and up. And then the guys that were really good could still run the middle. If you're listening to this podcast, take what I'm about to say and send it to Atlanta Motor Speedway. this is why you don't repave racetracks that are great. Atlanta is great. If they repave it, it'll be just like Michigan.

They will ruin it. Do not pave freaking racetracks. Stop it. You're ruining them. We should have it as VHT, the groove yesterday. And then they ran that tire monster around there for two weeks. In the groove. That didn't do anything.

In the groove. Didn't do anything. Yeah, I didn't do it. Well, yeah, running it. Idiots. Running the tire monster in the groove does. That's stupid. That's the most pointless thing I ever heard.

Yeah. That's like VHT and the groove. Why would you do that? Yeah. They're running the tire monster at some other tracks we're rolling up on, too. I'm not going to say because Kentucky might get mad. But they're trying some things. I mean, maybe VHT was the answer for this weekend because that track sucked.

The tire sucked. Everything about it sucked. I'm not sure. You'd go out there on 20-lap tires and run your fastest lap of the race. You know how much VHT that would be a play in Michigan? Normal. That's a lot of VHT. But it's not normal to run that fast on lap 20.

Like, come on. We took, we contemplated us taking left sides for fun. Yeah. I mean, there really wasn't that huge, that big of a gain. We ran our best lap in practice like on 25 lap tires. Who does that? That's not, that's not normal. That's not okay.

That's, we got, we need some. All right, guy, we're running a long run here. Save your tires. Come into a good year. At Lil' Sprinkle 67S, how would it be handled if a spotter lost radio contact with their driver like Blaney did with his crew? I mean, not, I can park you. Not hearing the driver is okay.

Fine. But the driver not hearing the spotter or the crew chief, that's more of an issue than I think. As long as they can hear us to keep them safe, hey, cautions out, there's a deer in the track. There's, you know, something. Deer? You know, anything. A cowboy hat. Fox?

Yeah, fox, anything. A fart. Yes. What is it with you today? At R. Smith 168 asks Junior Motorsports has four cars. Three drivers were cup regulars. Why is J.R.M more attractive than a cup ride?

How does J.R.M. Help develop them. Kristen, why don't you answer this? I'm not answering this. I mean, J.R.M. is almost a complete package, man. Let me tell you something about drivers here, R. Smith, 168. They want to go fast. So they want to go to where they think they can get in fast cars.

For sponsors, they want to go where they can also go fast and have marketability. You can't get much more market. than having Dale Earnhardt Jr. As your owner. And you can't get much faster than we are because we're first, second, third, and the old points. That's why we want to be here, our smit. What the smit, dude?

Best company ever. I smit my pants. You are ridiculous. JRM set the bar, especially like on this side of things, too, as far as social media stuff, they have kind of raised the bar. They're the pioneer. They got this. Yeah, honestly, this podcast is probably pioneering a lot of things.

It's not even they. It's we. We have this podcast. I mean, we are breaking news. We've been doing, we've been doing podcasts here for how many years is we've been doing podcast? We've been doing it's like four years, five years. The digital and social platforms here are bigger than, in my opinion, every cup team.

You know, you're probably not necessarily going to rank bigger than Hendrick because of the numbers, but we're doing things here that nobody else is doing. They're imitating us. R. Smith, you're insulting us by even asking us why would we want to be here. We're attractive. Look at us being attractive. Look at this studio, man. Damn.

Have you seen T.J. And you're asking, why is J.R.M. more attractive? T.J. is here. Yeah. I've been doing this podcast for a long time. If you just saw Kristen's shirt at that Whiskey River podcast, you know why people want to come here to work. Jesus. Not how I dress that work.

We serve. Do you remember that? We didn't even take a picture to go to that thing. We suck. My favorite part about that whole night is the fact that I poured my fireball shot in Cleans and he didn't even know it. Oh, he knew it the next morning. Let me just tell you. He drank the whole thing and he like had to swallow twice because it was, he's like, oh, I'm like, oh, damn.

Oh, crazy. Good times. So do you guys have anything you want to rant about today? I'm frustrated about one thing. Yeah, I got. You go first. I'm frustrated about this whole stage deal where we were told that we're not going to. going to do this again and we did it again.

You can't throw the caution, not in the stage. And you basically threw the caution with three to go. You opened a pit road. That's doing nothing but feeding the guys from 9th, 10th on back. Like, here you guys go. We're going to swap the field. Here's a freebie. That's not fair.

They didn't earn that position. So, wow. This is twice this has happened now like this. If you're not sure you can't open pit road, don't open it, man. Well, you're running is where you're running. You've earned that spot. So that's, I was really, I was pretty pissed about it. It helped T.J. get some regular season points because T.J. was running like eight.

And then they opened pit road and we end up not going back green, which is what T.J. is fussing about, which I completely get. I mean, we both did the same thing. When you saw them, when you're, you're counting the laps in your head, I mean, that's part of our job is to say, okay, it's three laps until the segment's over. We open pit road, we go one to go. When you miss that one to go, the only way we could have done it, the Xfinity race in stage two was to literally have a one lap stage end under green and they elected not to do that which was may or may not have been right the call i don't know but i'd rather

done that than it's just it's just confusing like it's it's hard to manage it and it's in a tj's point you gave the cup drivers a free pass because they don't need points so they're going to pit they're going to get tires and then and they're going to get fuel and then when you actually go back to to a normal cycle, they're not going to pit, they're going to be leaders. They're going to have the advantage. And you put them out there. So, I mean, it's weird. My struggle was, and we see it at Bristol, which I was kind of okay with because it

was a short track, but at Michigan, if you drew the bottom lane on a restart, you were screwed. Yeah. And when our tires, and I mean, we're talking about a two-mile racetrack, the six lanes wide, you ought to be able to run the damn bottom. You can't run the bottom because of the tire. So my rant is where you finish or where you end up after a restart should not be determined solely on the line that you're in because that's luck. I mean, we were seventh.

Clint's driving his butt off trying to get a good finish, ends up wrecking himself trying too hard, which I'd rather have a guy that tries too hard than not try hard enough. But we can't have the lane that you're in on a restart dictate the outcome of where you end up. And that's what we've got going on right now with some of these packages. Yeah, I didn't like that race at all. It's frustrating. I mean, you're sitting there fifth and you literally are coming to the green thinking, I'm screwed.

There's no way I'm going to come off a turn two any better than eighth or night because you'd go into one wide open, you get the center one or two, and all of a sudden that outside lane was just soom, zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom, and it's like, man, those guys didn't earn the right to be that much better than us just because of the draw of the lane. That's frustrating. How do you fix it? I mean, we just need a better racing surface.

There's not much. I mean, if it tracks a little bit wider, you might be able to get away from each other. It's wide. No, I mean, the groove is a little bit wider. You can get away from each other a little bit more. Yeah. I mean, obviously, the tire was so hard.

It didn't take much to get out of shape. You know, it didn't take much. The inside lane would literally go on the turn one, and everybody would have to lift. Everybody, yeah. And everybody just roll around the outside of them. So one time we actually restarted on the bottom. We went to the bottom and got,

put somebody three, wide. It actually worked out because we basically forced the other two up out of the way. It got real tight with them and we were able to clear him. But other than that, if it was too wide into one, the outside lane just rolled. I saw Dale Jr. a few times up in the gray and I thought he was wrecking. I mean, he made some good saves.

Where'd you end up? Ninth. That's solid. Top ten. Top ten. Yeah. I pulled a T.J. I outran him all day and I lost to him at the end. I know. It'd be nine to six me if I didn't do that all year. So we're off to Sonoma and I know that TJ thinks that I'm going to pick AJ Amundinger right now.

No, AJ's better tracks the Glen. So I'm going to not pick AJ Amundinger right now. Where's our list? We don't have a list? It's on the back page. I thought they closed it. So Sonoma. I mean, you're going to get AJ at the Glen then probably, but.

Well, I don't know that because if I know. What is the week before the Glenn? That's the determining factor. So I'd have to lose out. one on purpose to get him. That's the push. So I'm going to go with the McDonald's McFlurry, Jamie McMurray. That's who I got.

Jamie McMurray. Yes. Man. Jamie, that's a... Jamie's going to qualify well there. He's a good qualifier at the Wine Country Sonoma. Wine. Yeah, I will take...

Jamie doesn't drink, so that's another... He doesn't? That's another solid pick. He had two beers with me on Memorial Day, and I couldn't believe it. Is that just a personal choice? Yeah. I mean, he used to be fun. God. I'll never forget this.

I'm not going to say who it was, but there was an old couple I was hanging out with, and the gentleman looked at the lady, and he said, they're married. He said, you used to be a good-looking woman. And I was like, whoa, she's going to kill you tonight in your sleep. That's mean. You used to be a good-looking woman. My poor lady. He's the same guy, though, he'll be eating a bone and ribby and say,

I don't know why, I can't lose no weight. What an idiot. Who would marry that guy? Man, I'm going to... You're going to die when I tell you who it is. T.J. I tried to buy some time. A driver.

I bought him three minutes right there. I mean, I've been waiting for y'all to get over with this. So I'm thinking that that's what I was going to go with. I'm going to go Michael McDowell. Solid pick. Road course racer. And the Sonoma isn't quite the speed as Watkins Glen. So...

It's more technical. And that 95 car has been Has this beat. Dude, I looked up in all the children's cars yesterday were 22 to 28. Yeah, it was a team photo. Perfect. Perfect photo op.

That's what I told Coleman, the 37 and 47 to ride right next to I'm like, man, y'all got. And the 13 and the 3 and the 31 and the 27. There was a blanket over the RCR. I almost thought there was some fuel miles stuff going on that I didn't know about because they were all riding around back here. Tracking.

Yeah. Single foul. I saw Austin saving fuel and practice. Hey, what's going on in Iowa? Anything good for one main or anything? Actually, Elliot's driving the Chevrolet accessories Camaro this weekend. That's awesome. So can I get some?

Chevrolet accessories? Yeah. Yeah. Hey, thanks for the Oscar Blue shout out. Last night. You drinking some beer last night when everyone else was at the airport. Did you see that? Yeah.

Yeah, so we had friends that were stuck at the airport at three in the morning, so I just stayed up. Yeah. I had a couple beers with them. We tried to land and couldn't land and had the circle for a while because this storm It just got to the edge of the airport. We were going down and we were probably... Oh, that's never good on a plane.

No. Going down. And we took back up. Yeah. I saw a lot of DBC fans at Michigan. I signed an autograph and I got two pictures. Yeah, nice. One guy called me Karen, and then he came back and apologized for calling me Karen.

They didn't tweet it? He did. Oh, you didn't retweet it? I did. Oh, I didn't see it. You can pull off a Karen. Yeah. I like Karen.

You look like Karen. No. Okay. You don't like Karen? No. What would your name be if you could pick any name? I like my name. Karen.

Kristen. Stop saying it. Do you like Kristen or KB better? Stop doing that. KB's fine. KB. Now, why? You think that's hot?

No, it's what I've been called since middle school. Really? You like Cowbush? Tough. Oh. I had it first. Same initials. I'm the original KB.

Or Bauer, because I played sports all through high school and college. Bauer. Bauer. You didn't have any other nicknames in high school? Nothing. Uh-oh. KB or Bauer? My first boss at NASCAR called me killer.

Killer. Really, we need to go find an ex-boyfriend of high school, be like, hey, what was her high school? Like legs or something? Legs. Why would you say that? Her legs aren't but like six foot long? You're gotten a phone call from Monroe, North Carolina.

Oh, that's, do y'all get phone calls from these people? Yeah, and then you have to. They're like, oh, I need, you're calling about an extended warranty for your 1992 suburban. Dude, it's 2020. I don't have that suburban. What are you talking about? Do you all get that? I don't answer those calls.

I don't answer if I don't know who it is. But do you get the warranty calls or you don't own a car? Do you rent? No, I don't. I don't answer them, so I don't know. I always plug it into that number. It tells you this person trying to sell me this. Yep.

Yeah. That's a good app. All right. So we'd like to thank Exalta. And thanks to One Main. And we'll see y'all next week after Sonoma and Iowa. Bring us some red wine from Iowa. Red, red wine.

I'll bring you some Napa Valley wine. You know UB40, the band was named for the unemployment document in Europe that they had to fill out because they were unemployed when they started out to the band? A pop-up video. Okay, I'm leaving. All right. See you. See you. Bye.
