Outside, door, bumper, clear 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 win. Hey, everybody. I'm T.J. Majors.

Spotted the 88 Cup of Car, at 7XFinity and the 29 truck. Enjoying me today with a do-futty. I can't talk. You go there. Hey, guys, it's KB and next to me with a face brighter than a tomato. Tomato. It's Brett Griffin, Spotter of the number one X-Finity car,

Kelly Tiddler. And this show so far. Clip Boyer in the Cubs series. This show has ended before it started. Little do they know. Brett was enlightening us on what his grandmother used words for parts of their bodies. Oh, I just spilled my water on me. That's your sweat.

Did it get on your dooflony? We had some weird sayings in South Carolina. And my mother, my grandmother on my mother's side of the family was quite a hoot. If you were a boy, what'd you have? He had a do funny. I can't believe you guys have never heard that. That's not a thing. That is not a thing at all.

And if you were a girl? I can't tell you. I'm not calling out the girl part on this show. I let my mom tweet it. Well, Brett, you called it a monkey. Oh. I didn't call it a monkey. My grandmother called it a monkey.

And what did she say when it got hot? Y'all are terrible. So today's show is brought to you by one main financial. Baby powder. This will be the final show of the season. We're going to be shut down after this one probably. Yes, yes. So I got to tell you all this story.

before we get rolling into this. Any funny, you see this picture, okay? Looks like dog food. This is on my counter as soon as you walk in my garage door. So you walk in my garage door and there's this bowl of stuff, right? So I get this text this weekend from Claudia and it says, Dave has been eating dog treats every time he comes over to our house. He thought they were snacks. He was steady eating them tonight and I did a double take and I said, hey, Dave,

Those are dog treats. And he said, oh, my God. And then he started itching himself and started telling dog jokes. And he told us that one time when you were grilling out, he ate the whole bowl. So I'm like, this guy's coming over here. Yes, this guy's coming over to my house and eating all my dog treats. So we're laughing. So then I text Dave, and I was like, hey, man, Claudia just told me you were over at my house eating all of our dog treats.

And you know what? Dave texted me back. He's like, I just got finished dry humping my wife's leg and shit in the woods. Oh, my God. He really didn't know that they were dog treats when he was eating them. He said it tasted like shredded wheat. That's special. He ate the whole bowl one time.

That's disgusting. He was my buddy from Long Island, New York, and we hang out and cook out and goof off all the time. And can you believe he's eating dog treats? Nasty. I cried. I literally was sitting there watching college football and tears were running down my face as I was reading this. Was that really dog treats? Yes.

It looks like cookie crisps. It's not cookie cream. crisp. It's dog treats. Oh, awesome. Yeah. Dave. Is Dave growing a tail? Look at him.

I'm special. He's sick. Oh, man. It's crazy, man. I feel bad for your dog, man. Your dog's getting shafted. I know. He's deeped all the treats. Poor, poor Dave.

What's Josh doing? Look how tall Josh is. Is he trying to kill a spider? What's he doing? They're trying to get the speaker to work, I think, in the store. Is there a bird's nest up there? Birds nests. So, we just got back from Kansas.

I love Kansas. It was windy as a. as a holy moly man. It was windy. I broke my brush. It's the Midwest of my hair. That's why the Wizard of Oz was from there, right? Supposed to be windy.

Yeah, supposed to be windy. It's tornado alley. It's where Toto's from. Well, it was super windy. It was even windier when you were on a golf cart. So I saw that you got flowers over the weekend. I did. Clint's calling.

Should we answer that? Yes. No, we're not answering that. Let's answer it. What did you get flowers for? Just because he's a sweetie pie. Yeah. He's a very thoughtful person.

Yeah. Yeah, he is. Is he in the dog house? Mm-mm. Just out of nowhere? Yeah. What's he want? What's he doing when he gets in the dog house?

Yeah. What's he want? He's never been in the dog house. No? No. Never. No. He's so funny because he looks angry.

He looks mean. What a dwee. But he's such a, he's a good guy. I found the one here in the industry. Just one. Just one. What is that anyway? It's my buddy Dave.

It's his bar at his house. Just one. You want to come over for just one? And it turns out of me just one treat, Dave. Dog treat Dave. Dog treat Dave. Dog treat Dave. That's his new nickname.

Dave, just one. Oh, man. Does he sit? Does he shake? Apparently, he's in the woods. It drives his wife's leg. Okay, let's go on here. Okay, we just got back from Kansas.

Focus. I'll tell you what. Let's talk about it. T.J., were you downwind from Josh yesterday? I was towards turn once. I didn't have that problem with him. I looked over at Brett one time. He looked like he was going to throw up.

I went and stood by TJ. He did step back and I was like, what are you doing? I look over there and Josh is smiling. I was going to take. I had a little energy shape. Oh, Josh Williams? Josh Williams is smiling. He had ate entirely too many beans with his barbecue.

I mean, I'm telling you, I was having a hard time concentrating. I'm like, I'm like, I'm saying four wide and I'm tasting just, I'm like, God. I'm not supposed to concentrate. Do you have to say taste? Dude, it was thick. It was bad. This was up on the spotter stand? Yes, an open air.

Just imagine around an airplane home. You all eating all the briskin in Kansas? I didn't eat anything. Oh, my gosh, man. Downwind from Josh Williams. Josh, do you have any other sounds we could use for Josh Williams? I don't know. I'm going to have to look at this thing.

I like how TJ calls out his initials. Josh Williams. Do you have any other? Well, she said it first. Yeah, I think, I guess Blaney had a good run yesterday. Blaney did have a good run. Josh had the runs after the fact, but Blaney went from like 40th to like 20th in like 10 laps. Caust him to come out and I'd be like, Josh, please, man.

Go, please. You're killing me. It's bad enough up here. Yeah, that's a tough situation. Did he check his pants afterwards? Hopefully he threw him out. I don't know if you can wash them. I don't know if you can wash it out of that.

them. That's gross. It was horrendous. Yeah. Josh, remember when Josh came on here? Will you hear when he did? No, he's filling in for me. He came in and said, uh, he goes to the cookout spends like $17 on himself. Yeah.

And like everything there costs the dollar. Yeah. He says he did he do exactly what he ordered too. Like $17. It's like a pattern. Yes. And, uh, but, um, he's funny. He is funny.

He just bought a house. Did you know that? Oh, did he? He's moving out of Del Jr.'s place. He's moving out of that house and moving up the street. Oh, I. So, yeah. Yeah, big time.

So Josh lives in his shack. He does live in a shack. But as soon as you walk in it, you're like, man, it's really nice in here. It's actually not bad. But from outside, it looks like. Oh, it looks terrible from outside. Yeah, it looks like a rundown meth house. He lives on the property?

Yeah. It's, well, it's kind of not really on the property. It's off Weather's Creek or whatever. The next road. But it literally from the road, it looks like shack. You're like, I ain't going in here. It's a little two-bedroom, a little dining room. You all came in and it's done up like a little Miami condo.

And you're like, what the other? It's not bad inside. It's pretty nice. Probably stinks. CJ probably paid for a remodel. Remember that time you remodeled your bathroom and then moved out? Yeah, that was sucked. That one sucked.

That was sucked. He remodeled his rental house thinking that he's going to potentially buy it. I saw that bathroom too. You looked at a house. You almost moved into it. Yeah. T.J remodels it and then they kick him out. How much it cost you?

I bought a house from. Oh, it was ridiculous. Let's tell. Let's tell the true story. How much did it cost you? I went into it thinking. I was splitting it because I didn't know in the house. And I was like, yeah, whatever, we'll split it.

I'm like, cool. All right. I'm like, I'm going on, like, I must spend like a couple grand on this. I think we told this story before on the show. Contractors are shady. They're the guys that would be like, oh, nope, I can do it for that. Yeah, yeah. Then, like, you know, they're working for a month and like, oh, by the way, now I went

from, you know, four grand total. Now it's going to be seven. So, yeah. So, um, that's bad. Yeah. I don't trust contractors now. And I don't know moving out. I end up buying a house whenever they.

the government had that first-time homebuyers deal when they gave you the basically a down payment on a house. Right. So I moved out. You lost your remodel. I lost my remodel. So, Dowell Jr., if you would love to pay me for that, I would like that. If you'd like to pay me back for that.

Y'all arguing this morning on Twitter, he said he was in a great mood yesterday morning. And as soon as he heard T.J. talk, it ruined it. So let me tell you what happened. I had, like, a cable or a radio would go bad or something. And it's not, like, when that happens, it's not a comfortable feeling. It's alarming. So he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's. like, yeah, I was out here. I can't hear. We passed the 19 car and I cleared him and he didn't,

he never heard me. He's like, oh, and he comes on the radio and he goes, spot the race, T.J. And I'm like, tell what he's talking about? Like, I cleared you by that car. And then I'm realized I'm like, I keyed up again. He's like, oh, I hear static. So he's already lying to the public because he's yelling to me because he can't hear me. So I change radios and down the back stretch. I'm like, all right, you got me now? And he keys up so fast that I can't tell what he says. I asked Greg on too. I'm like, Greg, did you hear what he said? No, I didn't hear him. Sit down the front dress.

I'm like, all right, man, just making sure you got me. We shot the phone. Just leave me the phone. And I'm like, okay then. All right. So under caution, I tell him, like, look, you know, whenever I change radios, I need to make sure you can hear me. Like, and it's important that you hear me because it's mandatory, you know, and he's like,

oh, yeah, whatever. And I'm like, okay, well, next time I'll assume all my stuff's perfect, then you can hear me, and you can just go about your business. Like, okay, smart ass. I'm like, well, and next time my list was, well, I'd rather be a smart ass and an ass. Yeah. So I didn't say that, but I wanted to. So T.J. is one of the few that doesn't listen to himself.

So I have a radio, and this came from a lot of pilots that started spotting. I have a radio that when I key up and start talking, I hear myself in the other ear. So we're able to hear that crackle and that static. And to T.J's point this time, the inability to communicate. So T.J. does it the all way, which is the way we used to do it, 10, 15 years ago. And it just, once you get used to listening to yourself, you can't go away from it because when you key up and you don't hear yourself talk, it freaks you out.

So my suggestion is, before you get to Ligano next year, you have them buy you a new radio. See, I used to scam myself. And then I got really used to it. And then when they took the digals away, thanks. They, uh, see, I used to scam myself with the digital. What a dick. I used to scan myself with the digital, and then I got used to not scanning myself. And I never had a problem.

You know really quick if you have an issue. Like, people let you know really fast. And I can switch that. I have a second radio that I can switch to the channel that I'm on to spot if I have to. But, you know, you just want, you never like your stuff to go bad. I'm surprised your stuff doesn't go bad. More than it does. Mine never goes bad.

I keep my mangled up in my spotter back. When you're static, it hurts my ears. You should see how Brett puts his radio. radio is away. It literally is open up the backpack, stuffing in however it fits, and go. I'm the type that I pack myself up like OCD type. Is your anal or attentive? I don't have whatever. I don't have issues.

My cords are great. So I don't know what the issue. I think it's a radio. It's got a new cord on it from a couple weeks ago. Yeah. So, but I don't know. But yeah, he was a little angry. If we don't hear you on the radio, Shannon I'll blow you up over text.

Okay. Thanks. So Dell Jr. tweets up this morning. It won't go through because signal to race. I don't have service. I guess he's feeling froggy this morning still. So he wanted to get up and tweet at it.

So I decided to let him know about his restarts as well. Yeah, I saw you imply that he doesn't get good restarts. Well, not when your three car lines back. When we get to the line, I mean, geez. Okay. Oh, we, we are starting out. I heard Justin tell you that. Justin?

Elgar. Oh, yeah. He's like, that's making us slower. And it really wasn't, but I didn't, I wasn't in a position to argue at that point in time. We were. That was the meanest thing he's ever said to you. I was scanning. all during that one.

When a car's on the outside of you, you want to sew it down. It doesn't make you slower, but you got to sew, in the experience series, you got to sew them down. Hey, Justin listens to this podcast because he got mad at me one time, so be careful what you said. Hey, man, we were having a, we were having a problem with our motor. Alan started listening to it too. Yeah. We had a, I don't know, I didn't talk to Jason yet today, but I think he sounded like a header.

We had a hole in a header or something like that. It was costing us a little horse part into the straightaway. But, you know, the experience cars are so close. you got to use the air big time at a place like that. When a car's run on the outside and you're trying to race them, they're going to stay way away from you. You know, on the front stretch on the high side. In my opinion, you need to be, when he gets that run and he gets to your quarter pound,

you need to be up there sewing him down. And I was telling Justin, like, slow him down if you want to race him. We need to slow him down. And he said it was making us slower. But, you know, it's just, we were getting past at that point in time. But we ended up finishing solid still. Yeah, you did. Yeah, Elliot hollered at me to start the race, and I still don't know what he was fussing about.

What's it with these? You got to tell me something sooner. I'm like, 10-4. Yeah. I have no idea. I was skinning then, too. I have no idea what he's bisoned about. You've got to let me know.

Must be something in the water in Kansas for these drivers, man, Jesus. I'm doing all I can up here, dog. This is all you. I may not be the best spot of it, but I'm the best one you got, you know. You're what I got right now. Sometimes, they do fuss at us and we're like, uh, I don't. Yeah. I don't know what you're mad at.

I thought I did really good right there. So wait a minute. You're yelling to me because you can't hear me, and then you're going to bash me for hearing me. Okay. Oh, I was such a thankless job. They get bipolar when they put the helmets on. They do. They do.

They absolutely do. He mentioned that last night. I was like, I don't know what it is. When you put that helmet on, you get real mad real quick. I said, maybe you should try a headset. Yeah. Michael Autropie, he had a funny line. He said, you know, I'm the only guy.

I know that can ride in a carpool lane by myself. I don't get it. Multiple personalities. Yeah. Got it. Yeah. Good job. Okay.

All right, we're going into spot on, spot off because... Why are you dressed up today? It's just, it's comfy. It's Monday. I wish I could wear that, actually. This dress? What? I mean, it'd be a little big on me up top.

No, it's, it stretches, though. It would be super comfortable. It's so comfortable. It's like wearing pajamas. We need to be able to spot in those. You want to wear a dress? If we say we feel like a woman, can you spot in that? I just want to wear shorts.

You can't wear shorts, but if you're a, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you might be able to wear this. Maybe. Can you wear a dress on the spotter stand? I don't know. It's a good question. I feel like if people are looking up there. Why don't you stay for a Sunday race and find out?

We'd wear, we'd wear underwear. Oh, good, good. Thanks for clarifying that. You were talking about people looking up our dress. In all honesty, we should be allowed to wear shorts. We should be able to wear shorts. If you can wear like khakis or something decent looking, we should go to wear. Do you know why they tell us we can't wear shorts?

Tell me. Because you're white-ass legs. Because they're, they don't want. us on TV with shorts on. Why? I don't understand. Why show us then? Don't put the cameras up there.

And when they do show you on that spotter cam, you can't tell. I can never find you to. I always wear it like that. You can't see, you see figures, but you don't see that close. I barely serve with the rail, so you probably can't. You see T.J. For a head. Oh, you see his eyes and a headset.

Oh, man. All right. Spot on, spot off. Brett, the big one at Kansas. Man, spot off because I got in it. I look up and Eric Jones is turned 45 degrees to the right. He's gotten loose and overcorrected. And he's shooting back up the racetrack to the wall.

And you know it's going to be big. And I like two rows behind it. Obviously, we couldn't stay high. We were going to pile drive everybody. I scream go low. Clint goes low. Suarez shoots back across the racetrack. And we ass pack him.

And it messed up our day. We had a fast car. And two days in a row, wrecked. One day came back to finish second. that day, 19th, so spot off that sucked.

You made it through, right? Yeah, we've made it through somehow. I'll go spot off as well, and I don't know,

man, that, to me, I'm spot off because I, there's a, there's an issue here that I think,

and, you know, I don't know if he's trying too hard or, or what here. You know, I expect some

rookie mistakes, and that's fine, but, um, when you're racing around all these guys that are, that are,

racing for a championship, I don't, I think you're trying too hard at that point. When you drive over, when you get over your head like that, I mean, you're on some of the owner tires out there. You aren't on new tires. So I'm spot off because you need to know the scenario more and know your limits more. You know, it's just my opinion on it. There's a lot of people with a lot on the line and he took a lot away from them is what T.J. is implying.

I thought it was crazy, though. They were going 204 miles an hour. Yeah. At Kansas. spot on spot off on 204 miles an hour spot on man that's cool if you're going 204 down the straightaway and you have to slow down to 150 160 in the corner you're going to put on a good race you're going to be able to pass and you're going to have multiple grooves and that's what we had is a good racetrack that's what we had yesterday it's a great even exfinity cars is fun like you can move around

it when the expedit cars run the wall that can make it happen yeah that's a good racetrack when the straightaway speeds are high and the corner speeds are low it increases the for passing because it means they're off the gas on the brake making the car turn back on the gas whoever's back to the gas quicker wins like that creates passing that's that's what we saw and the exfinity series is close to not being good because in the beginning so much in the beginning of new tires they are it's basically who's got the fastest car wide open you know and it's just like the 20 car obviously has the most speed I'm you could probably take the top 15 guys in the Xenian series and they could run the same exact time in that 20 car holding a wide open like that.

Yeah. To me, but after 15 laps or so, you know, when the tires wear out, things get a lot more interesting. Right. That's when you see better race. Yeah. And I, you know, it's a good race like that, in my opinion. Great. Spot on, spot off.

Truex black flagged on early race restart. TJ. This was big. The only reason I will say spot on is because I was told I wasn't there that it was brought up in the driver's meeting. And when they bring it up and they, in this, I actually have a video from men. that I saved and I was curious about it because the guy in the outside can't change lanes but if the guy on the inside can go all the way to the apron that's changed in three lanes or two lanes

himself you're gaining an advantage by doing this and I questioned it then I didn't know they were going to say anything about it but you know if they said something in the driver's meeting about it which David Hoots come on the radio and said it was addressed in the driver's meeting he said that over the radio did you hear I did hear so if he if they actually addressed it in the drivers meeting and these drivers made the mistake of still doing it, then that's on them. I am spot off, and the reason I'm spot off is because prior to yesterday, none of us had ever heard of this. So you're implementing yet another new rule, and you're implementing it at a time where

a lot's on the line for a lot of guys. Truex went below the white line. He was on the bottom lane. The rule is you can't change lanes. So now he's on the super bottom lane and he's disqualified. We didn't know that white line. on the apron is a boundary for restarts until yesterday. The spotters were not aware.

Were you aware? I had no idea. I had no idea. Some of the drivers may or may not have known. If you're going to bring something like that up in a driver's meeting, you can't do it in a video. You've got to raise your hand and say, hey, guys, listen, there's a new rule this week. This is what we're doing.

I don't think that's the way it went down based on the guys that I talked to going, wait, what? This is a rule. And I think that Harvick actually followed Truex down there. and they didn't black flag him. So it's still inconsistent, right? And then once it's happened and True X is penalized and you're listening to this whole thing go down on the radio, it's like, okay, now here's the new rule. We can't go below the white line on a restart if we're in the bottom lane until we get to start finish.

That's fine. But your drivers and your spotters have to know the rules. If we don't, how can we help help their guy not get in trouble? Yeah. It was frustrating. That's ridiculous. I don't understand how one gets it when the other car behind them did the same exact thing and didn't get it.

I do not. I don't agree with that. You know, but if they did say something in the driver's meeting about it and say to watch for it, that's on them, in my opinion. But how does one guy do it and not get a penalty? It's still, you know, one guy doing get a penalty and the other guy behind him do the same exact thing.

We need that communication as well because we can remind our guys. We spend a lot of our time reminding our guys not. to do things that are not permitted. You know what I mean? So this is from May. I remember, because I brought it up, this is, yeah, this is replay of the race from May. Yep.

They take the green, the first two cars go to the bottom. Yep. And they're all below the white line pushing. Again, it was allowed. Before the start finish line. Before start finish. And it was not a penalty. Now all of a sudden it is, I mean,

you guys have a mandatory spotter meeting, right? Yes, only at the plate tracks. Yeah, at the plate tracks. Yeah. So you don't have a meeting every week, like the driver, crew chief meeting. No.

No. Do you get a handout like the driver crew chief handout? There's not enough info. So how are they communicating to you? They're expecting the driver and the crew chief to communicate with the spotter about rule changes? Usually when there's something like that, they would tell us. Usually,

we have to check in 30 minutes prior to the start of the race on the roof. So for a 2 p.m. start, typically around 1.30, they're going to hold a meeting and go, hey guys, new rule this week. Pay attention to this. Remind your guys, we didn't get any communication on it. That's a... Now, and what they're going to say is, well, it's up your driver and crew chief to tell you that.

but, hey, half of them obviously didn't listen, you know? And you say, well, shame on them. Well, you know what? I went to class a lot of times, and I didn't pay attention. So, I mean, it happens. I will say the reason why I think some of it might get over a lot. Because when you go to that, and I've been to a couple of drivers meetings, it's more of a-

It's the same stuff. And it's more of a show. Like, we got this person here, this person here, this person here. Yeah. And nobody's really even paying attention. The driver's meeting has become more of a marketing tool than it is a competition tool. So when a competition matter is important, it has to be brought to special attention. It can't just be thrown into that same boring video that they watch.

It's not boring. It's boring after you watched it for 10 years. You know what I mean? It's not boring if you've never seen it. But having watched it all year, 32 races in, guess what they're in there doing? They're checking their text messages and playing on Twitter because they've heard this same speech over and over. Yeah, that's a valid statement. spot on spot off Kyle Larson eliminated from playoffs after a blown engine

oh man you know I got I got to go spot off because that was a title contender right there that's the guy that had speed that had enough speed to win a championship so you know I got to go I got to go spot off in that aspect I mean I look at the top four guys and I think Larson is one of the top four guys that was one of the top four that can can make it a homestead and that can win homestead and become a chance champion. And I usually don't do this, but, and I saw TJ do it as well. When this happened, I walked down to his spotter Derek and I was like, hey, man, I'm sorry. Like, you guys have done everything right. You're, you know, just it sucks, but you got another shot. Y'all

both real young and it is what it is. But I mean, when you look at just the fact that a mechanical failure cost him a shot of the championship, the same thing later in the season happened to William Byron last year. You know, he's sitting there. He is going to be the truck champion if he doesn't blow up a Phoenix because he goes to homestead and beats all the guys that were eligible. It's just part of the sport. It's part of the process, the mechanical aspect. The reason our races are so long is because initially it was let's see who can build a car that will even make it 500 miles. And go fast, too.

And now the thing is we can all pretty much do that. But at the end of the day, man, it's still just small parts and pieces that can have big implications if they fail. We blew up in 2014 in Chicago, first race of the chase. Yeah. That pretty much ruined it from that on. You know, like you said, though, I think Kyle handed it really well. I read a Twitter tweet that he put out that, you know, he's like, look, I'm 25 years old. There's going to be a lot more chances at this.

Yeah. And he's done fairly well. He's arguably the most talented race car driver right now sitting in a seat. I think he's the most versatile. You could probably put Kyle in an indie car right now. He'd be fast. He's a modern day Tony Stewart. Yeah.

Tony was that way. He's like a young Tony. Yeah. Yeah. But, I mean, when you look at what he's doing, because he's not in, and I'm not taking a shot at Ganesi, because their cars are a lot faster than they've been. But he's not in these Gibbs cars.

He's not in Stuart House cars. I mean, Gannasi's made a big jump in performance. Could you imagine if he was in the 77 or so? I mean, you look at the jump in performance. They've made this organization, which is a big jump, but then you look at how much better even he is than that. Man, that kid's on it. Spot on, spot off.

Matt Kenseth is parked after having too many men over the wall under the five-minute clock. What a heartbreaker. He's pretty much, all he's got to do is. just get back out there and finish and he's transferring, right? And he doesn't. But we know the rules. I mean, and the thing is you say,

well, it's one guy too many. Did you hear him afterwards, though, where he said he doesn't know the rules anymore because they change so frequently? Well, this rule hasn't changed. You know, what we know is six people are allowed to go over the wall to work on the car.

The seventh person is allowed over the wall as long as he or she only services the driver, which means cleans their windshield, gives them a water, you know, gives them a Snickers bar, or whatever the driver wants. And the reason this rule is in place is because of all these body modifications

that these teams were making under yellow, NASCAR couldn't police it. There's too many bodies and too many places doing too many things. And yesterday, when I saw the 48 getting that wreck and shoot down through the grass, he comes into work on it. And I was like, oh, Canows is going to trick this thing up

because you can now say, we were involved in an accident. You have the ability to make more modifications. So this rule is put in place this was a huge mistake on the crew guys part, the crew chiefs part, and what really happens is you have to go through scenarios because when we wreck, it used to be, and TJ can speak to this too,

our crew guys at the racetrack used to also be on the pit crew. So when the car got tore up, those guys on the pit crew could fix the car. Now they can't. They're athletes. They train all week to change tires, to carry tires to jack cars. And when the car's torn up,

those guys don't know anything about that race car. So people like the car chief have to go over. People like the underneath guys, the suspension guys have to go over. Well, when they have to go over, they have to take somebody's place. Well, obviously here, pit crew guys went over and somebody to work on the car went over. And you know what? You're out. Yeah, I kind of put it on the crew and the crew chief knowing who was supposed to go over the wall at that point in time.

I know when we have damage, we count. We know. We know what we got to do. And you make sure you got the right guys. and it just sucks that it was such a crucial point in time for Matt to have this happen, but, you know, that's what they chose, and they've held people to account of it before, and they should now. Yeah.

Matt's comments are actually okay, in my opinion, because he's pissed off, you know, but this rule, we didn't just start this. This started over the winter. We heard about it. We saw him kick people out in Daytona, and it's like, okay, that's how it is. And they broke the rule. I didn't hear his. comments.

The crew chief is ultimately responsible for who's going on the field. It's just like in football. If you got too many men on the field, you know, a player wasn't paying attention and a coach wasn't paying attention. And they'd call the right play. Most of the time now, when you have damage like this, you come down, the pit crew goes over the wall first and changes the tires, you know, depending on how bad it is. And then you clearance, then they come back over the wall and then you send the workers over.

You send the guys over that work on the car to clearance everything and do that. Matt said, I don't know what any of the rules are. Seems like we get a lot of change of stuff that kind of gets, you know, change so often. I honestly can't keep up with it. My head kind of spins from putting lug nuts out of pit boxes to one too many guys over the wall. You're not allowed to race anymore. I just don't get it to be honest with you.

I'm really, I really don't have a lot of good things to say right now. I'm more than disappointed. And then he goes and thanks to Walton. And he's racing for his livelihood. You know, he doesn't know if he's got a job next year. He's obviously out of the championship conversation. Obviously winning a championship might help him land a superior ride. Absolutely.

Maybe somebody comes on board and says, hey, Matt, we want to sponsor you in this car. I mean, our crew chief communication when the car is torn up, it's Josh, you stay back. Kristen, you get a helmet, you go over. Yeah, you've got to account for those six people. It's just the way it is. Yeah. Spot on, spot off. Christopher Bell wins his first career NASCAR Xfinity Series race.

You know, spot on for Christopher Bell. He laid around there in about third, fourth, fifth the entire race. And honestly, I think the 20 was saving a little fuel. but I think they pulled the reins a little bit too much on him. And, you know, Christopher Robilley pounced. And I honestly don't think he wins this race. If Eric Jones plays his cards a little bit better there, I think he crosses him over and wins the race.

But he didn't. So, you know, congrats to Christopher Bell. He didn't wreck a guy. He didn't hit a guy. He tried a sprint car move that worked. Christopher Bell did everything right. And that's why he won the race. And he beat a guy Eric Jones, who was kind of his protege.

I mean, he's the guy that's ahead of him that paid the same way that Christopher Bell's coming up. through, go through KBM, go to JGR. You know, this guy's running full time next year. He's going to be a championship contender in those Gibbs cars. But he did every single thing right. Eric Jones did two things wrong. Number one, he let him get up and get down.

He should have to TJ's point, cross him over. Number two, if he's going to cut you off that late, hit him square in the ass. He'll send him out through the infield and you still win the race. Yeah. If you don't like the way he raced you, don't get out. Don't get out. Don't get out and be all panties a lot over it. So this is pretty common with him.

And, you know, when you get out, how about saying? Don't powder your monkey in public. We don't want to hear it. That's not a saying. He gets out. He gets out and then just totally blames Christopher Bell for wrecking him. Like, totally blames him. Like, I'm sitting there thinking, like...

First thing I tell you in driver's ed is if you hit a car in the ass, it's your fault. Yeah. He hit Christopher Bell square in the ass. Yes. If you, if you, it's how it is right now. If you hit a car in the ass, I don't care if you stop for a snail. Yeah. You're at fault.

Snail. Who's stopping for snail? Okay. Stop for. a fire, whatever. Same thing. Same thing.

You hit him in the ass. It's your fault. Don't get out. And this has been common with him since the truck days. You know, had an alternator go bad and Texas got out

and stormed into the truck, wouldn't do an interview. How about thanking your guys for working all week real hard? You made a mistake. We'll go get them next week. Here's what I'd like to see. I'd like to see us

and we'll never have this ability. But I'd love to hit a button and they say, okay, guess what, Trevor Bain? You get to drive that car this weekend. Guess what Eric Jones? You get to go drive Trevor. Baines.

You'll find out how good everybody is. Fast cars go fast. Eric Jones has never not been in a fast car. So he's in his interview. He's like, we finally had a fast enough car. I'm like, are you kidding me? You've been in the best car all year, bud. Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.

The kids got loads of talent, man. Loads. And, you know, a little bit of, I don't know what you would say. I don't know if he wants to be like Kyle Bush and can't pull off that persona. Or if he just needs to go to Media Darling school. But. Media darling. He needs some help, man.

Well, he got rid of the mullet. Whoever manages him, like, they need to try to help mold this guy. He's fairly funny, like on Twitter and stuff. He can be, like, I'm telling you, he can be an A-level guy off the track. Absolutely. On the track. He could be both. But you also can screw it up.

You can. All right, 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. T.J., I did not know that, but I did know that if you're, were in need of a loan and your finances have taken a turn, one main can help. So race down to the closest one main branch and get back on track. You know that with more than 1,700 locations, there is bound to be one near you.

If you love Dale Jr., then Exaltor Racing is your go-to social media account on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. It brings you Insiders info all weekend long on the 88 team. It's at Exaltza Racing, a must follow for any Dale Jr. fan. All right, we are going into Fast Lane. Today, Brett, you guys are going to debate topics and crap,

and I'm going to give you 30 seconds to talk about it. Ready? Josh have the dinger? Ding, dang. Yeah, you got the do funny. You got that do funny ready, Josh? I got it. Brett, you are going first.

I can't believe this show. One car per organization will be able to test homestead this week. Should it be open to any team? We shouldn't be testing. homestead at all. It's the last race of the year. Four teams are racing for a championship in all three series. So if you're a truck team and you have a cup affiliate, the cup team goes down there and test, the truck team can learn from it. If you're a truck team and you don't have a cup affiliate, you don't get any of that data. There's no reason that we should be testing homestead this late

in the season with championship implications on the line and pretty much knowing which guys are ultimately going to race for them. I'm not in support of this. Don't test it all. Yeah, I would Did we wake you? No. I just don't think we should be testing there either. I want to argue, but I can't really argue it. To me, it's just we don't need to go there. Like it's, like you said, we got our stuff figured out now.

Everyone's ready. Like, let's just go race. Let's finish this thing out. It's probably going to rain, too. Testing, and I have to go to this test, by the way, but testing is a very expensive science project for race teams on NASCAR's behalf. We're going to homestead. to do Goodyear's job, to do NASCAR's job.

And guess what? They don't pay our travel. They don't pay for our cars to be built. If we go down there and tear up a race car, it's a half million dollars junked. We're going down there to be a science experiment for the racetrack. And, man, this, I do not obviously support this test. You obviously do not. Why are y'all testing there?

For the Stewart Haas. I know. So how do they decide who goes? Do you know? Management picks. And, you know, I think it has a lot to do with. the four team is obviously in contention. They don't want to wear those guys out.

They don't want to take a car. They want to focus on getting that car better at the shop and not taking all the... Because you're talking, you're going to take your 10 best guys out of the shop and take them to a two-day test. Versus being able to be home and work on your Phoenix car, work on your Texas car. You know? I would take my A car still. I would take... You know what you're going to unload with.

You know already how you're going to unload. But you know how close these cars are. I mean, they can do all kinds of stuff. I would still. I mean, this is, if you're running for a championship at this point of time, you almost want to go, in my opinion. I don't think anybody goes. I don't know that any of the guys will go. Yeah, I don't know.

I mean, we'll see. I'll tell you, I'll tweet who's down there. Tweet, tweet. NASCAR will reportedly mandate a standard pit gun for all teams in 2018. Will this positively or negatively impact competition on pit road? T.J. I think this is going to even the playing field out a lot more. Obviously, there's, it's been known fact that JGR's had some pit guns that have been better.

The magic guns. yeah, that have been faster. Now, you know, I don't, this is going to be a learning curve for these guys. These guys are, they're hanging in them lug knots. It's just so fast with them guns. And the guns are spinning at such a high RPM. They just touch that lugnone. That thing spins so fast, it spins itself tight.

So this is going to be interesting on how they, do they have to stay on it longer? I mean, there's a lot of, a lot of ifs here, question marks. Staying on it longer can be a good thing. Make sure you get them good and tight. The JGR guys, MWR guys back in the day, They put a lot, I mean, we're talking millions of dollars into these pit guns. And you look at this and you go, yeah, we need to mandate it so teams aren't doing that. You can't dictate how teams are going to spend money.

They're finding speed. The purpose of racing is to be as fast as you can possibly be. So once again, we're intervening on pioneering and being innovative. And I don't, I'm not a fan of that. The only reason I'm okay with is because I think this is the wrong area to spend millions of dollars. I mean, millions of dollars on a pit gun is ridiculous to me. You know, you're already paying these guys a lot of money for their speed already. They just give them the magic gun or whatever.

I'm willing to bet Truex has won his million dollars back already this year. Maybe. But this is just an area that I feel like that we don't need to be spending that much money on. Qualifying results from Kansas determine Martinsville pit selections. Do you think this is fair or should pit stalls be determined differently, Brett? We're doing this. I mean, let's set the kind of. I'll text up for this before you start my 30 seconds, Josh.

So on Sunday at Martinsville, we're qualifying at noon, and we're racing at 3 o'clock. So what teams and NASCAR are saying is you don't have time to qualify for an hour, then pick your pits, and then set your pit up and be ready to go by 3 o'clock. So we're going to go back to the previous weeks qualifying, and that's going to set how you pick pit road. That's what we've been doing all year in the Xfinity series. I actually... Are we starting the 30 seconds? You can start the 30 seconds, Josh.

Dang. I do not think this is okay because Martin Truex sat on the pole at Kansas and will now have the number one pit stall in Martinsville. The only way to earn that pit stall, in my opinion, is to sit on the poll at Martinsville. We don't need to. I mean, we used to see the champion, the Winston Cup champion, get the first pit stall selection every week. That was part of the deal.

They realized it was a huge advantage. look it away. This is, this is, I'm not a fan of this. I'm not a fan of it either. The tracks are two different type. You have guys, this, Martinsville is a track for some teams to come alive and say, look, we got a better shot here. We're not racing, you know, we got a way better shot here. I guarantee guys like Ricky Sandhound, Scott, they're going to Mars. We're like, yeah, man, you know, we're going to get them this weekend because they got, they're going to be better there. Their cars are not, are more up to, you know, par with what's fast. So I don't feel like it's fair. give a guy the best pit stall selection for a track that's completely different than that.

Martinsville is not arrow dependent. Kansas was. Martinsville is mechanical grip dependent. Martinsville is driver-based. The driver can make up a little more ground. A guy like Chris Busher can take a 25th place car and run 17th with it. So qualifying should not be thrown out of the window. He ran six yesterday.

If we need to do it based on practice speeds, there are ways to fix this. Yeah, I don't know why you can't just do, you know, the first practice on Friday. will also be your qualifying session. Right. You know, or also set to qualifying the pit stall selection. Right.

I don't care. I mean, I'd rather do that. There's ways to give fast cars an opportunity to pick the pits. Or your best lap average between two sessions, you know, to your two best laps average.

There's something we could do. Something like that, but you can't give the guy. Marchuex does not deserve that first pit stall. I don't agree. I mean, I agree with you that it does not. I mean, it's totally different track.

Yeah. If he goes and blows it up and qualifying or crashes, he's got the best freaking pit stall. If he goes and qualifies first, I'll agree with you then. But, I mean, right now it's not fair. And it'll be, that first pit stall will be worth 15 to 20 spots that day.

Because you're talking a lot of pit stops at a short track every time it's going to be worth two, three spots. Yeah, it's big because you go straight out. Straight out. The round of eight begins at Martinsville, which drivers will make the championship for, T.J. You know, it's going to be hard to go with the experience. First of all, speeds are going to be in it. So Truex is obviously, I don't, I mean, Mark could take a race off already and still be at Homestead. You know, Kyle, I think, has the experience to still make it in.

My wild cards are going to be the next two. You know, I still think Brad somehow finds his way in. He knows what he's got to do, and he's a very calculated guy. And then the next one, man, it's toss up. I got to go with, you know, I'm going to go with Chase. I think the sleeper, a Cinderella in this whole thing is Blaney. he's not going to be in my pick to make it, but I think he's the sleeper. You know, I think the other thing that surprises me a little bit is there's only two Chevroles

in this thing. You know, Jimmy kind of snuck his way in there at the end, but I got to go with Truex, Bush, Harvick, and you got to count Jimmy Johnson in there at this point. That's a tough group right there. It is, man. I mean, Hamlin's a guy that you're looking at. Keselowski, I mean, but. You know what I think's cool as we look down here, and, you know,

all last year we talked about Blaney and Elliott being in there, And now here they are eight more, and they're already up there. We're geniuses. You guys are so sorry. We told you guys how good these two guys were going to be. The off-the-wall topic, Cardinals quarterback, Drew Stanton, lost a bet and had to dress like Supergirl during warm-ups. What's the most embarrassing thing you've had to do after losing a bet? I don't gamble.

Well, there's that. Brett gambles all the time, so I'm sure he's lost some pretty good bets. I don't think I've ever had doing anything stupid like this. Yeah, you just bet money. Yeah, I don't bet wearing. Well, me and Freddie were watching football on Thursday night, and this guy catches the ball, and he, you know, he catches the ball. Freddy's going, and I didn't a catch.

I was like, it's a catch. It ain't a catch. I said, I bet you a hundred bucks is a catch. He goes, all right, I throw my hundred bucks on a bar. He throws his hundred bucks on a bar. They come on TV, and they go, it's rule to catch. I was like, thanks, Freddie. So, I mean, yeah, I do like gambling a little bit.

I need to drink with you all. Not drink. I'm going to drink some water and win some money. I'll gamble with you any time you want, dog. I don't think I've ever won't have lost a bet and had to do something stupid. No, I've never. Josh.

I mean, I'm not going to do a bet that says I got to wear a Clemson jersey. I'm not going to do a bet that says I got to get a Clemson tattoo. Man, you really hate some Clemson. I have integrity when it can. I'm not doing anything orange ever. So I'm not going to make a bet that's going to make me look that stupid. You know what I mean? Yeah.

So did you like, did you like St. Climson and Louis Syracuse? Are you going to take a bet that says you got to wear a Georgia jersey? jersey. No. I ain't wearing a Georgia jersey for $10,000. I'd wear it for $10,000. Yeah.

All right. We're going into hashtag SDBC. Y'all ready? At dudeup daddy 3 asks, do you think NASCAR will ever do anything about the tire blowouts during the victory burnout? Dude up Daddy 3. TJ gets fired up on this one. Well, do you think about that this morning? Well, I mean, I'm going to come on, man.

So we're sitting under the red flag there, and Dell Jr. is just looking at other people's cars and stuff. and he's talking about quarter panels and stuff. And some of them are vastly different looking. And they're manipulating this after the race. So you can't really check them what they're doing. So, I mean, you've won seven times this year now. Okay, I'm severely happy when Martin wins. I love seeing Martin win.

But we're like we got to stop this tire blowing stuff to fix. You're doing it to destroy it to hurt the car to get through tech. So I don't know. I think if you blow the tire out, you're done. Let's just grade Martin True X's burnout. He just won a race two races ago. It locked him into the next round. He's got a ton of stage points.

He's now won another race that he didn't even need to win to be locked into the next round. So it's not like he was sitting there on the outside looking in. Yeah, it came back from two penalties. I mean, pretty solid day for Martin. You also look at this car and you go, man, surely this guy doesn't want to tear up a good car doing a burnout. That's how it used to be. when you had a car, you didn't want to mess it up. You didn't want to mess it up.

No. But now you look at it and you're like, man, a burnout to me is celebration. And it should 100% be permitted. But to purposefully sit here and blow your tires is excessive. And it does have a lot of things that it allows you to hide in the tech line. And if it's excessive, there needs to be something that happens to you. I don't know what that something is. If it's a fine, if it's a sit-out the whole next week's practice,

if it's, you know, lose 100 points, if it's you got to kiss a donkey on the ass. I don't know, but there's got to be something that happens. Got to wear a Clemson jersey. I mean, whatever it is. Whatever it takes. Yeah, I mean, it just needs to go away. Nees to quit.

At Hornick Jay asks, I've always wondered how crew members don't get injured from the lug nuts on pit road. It seems like they would also cut the tires. They do get injured from lug nuts on pit road. You know, we got buddies that listen. I have a buddy named Lee that usually listens to the show. He's a tire changer for True X.

and lug nuts light these guys up. Mike Lingerfeld, I mean, they get hit in the face. They get hit in the body, and it creates big bruises and dents. And, man, it tears them up, you know. So it's a softball legend right there walking around. Sunny. Sunny in the house. These guys, like hockey players.

Some of them lose teeth because of it. So, I mean, they do. You just don't really see it a whole lot. I'll never forget. I was at Darlington or somewhere, and all of a sudden, these guys were in these tied uniforms, jump over the wall, and they're all wearing. wearing helmets. And I was like, man, that's pretty smart. These guys, this is the only pit crew on pit road. Cal Wells came in from IndyCar, and in

IndyCar, they were already wearing helmets. I was like, man, that's pretty smart to put helmets on those guys because there's a lot of stuff going on. And then that was my phone. And then it's like NASCAR sees it and goes, well, hell everybody should wear helmets. And this is one of the reasons. These nug-lug nuts, I'll never forget, man. Dude, you'll hear him hit a pit box. And it'll sound like a 12-gauge. shot up. I mean, those lug nuts are coming off those spinning tires at 100 miles an hour. And they're hot. And they're hot.

Yeah, I would not want to take a lug nut to the face. To any part of the body. At Davy Center, asks, since Martinsville has a 3 p.m. start time, what are the chances lights come into play, and if they do, will it affect anything? It'll be red at it, I believe. Like, if we have any red flags, we're going to probably need them.

We're starting at 3.30. Sunset's at 630. We're 100% going. under the lights, man, this thing's going to end. And the best thing about it ending under the lights at Martinsville, unlike a place like Charlotte or downforce track, it's not going to change the racing. It's not going to make it single file where only one group is fast right around the bottom because the grip's different.

This being a short track, man, it's going to just make it have that Saturday night local short track feel. I think it's going to be great. The only thing that would make it better is it was Saturday night. I agree with you. Then we could have Sunday off. That's right. At three go fast turn left asks.

Road trip into Martinsville this week from Canada. What's your ultimate road trip song? I mean, you're going to need a lot of road trip songs for that drive. Bro. Bro. You need a whole playlist. Shoot, I don't even know. Podcasts.

Brett would repeat Michael Jackson the whole time. Or Beebbs. Or Justin Bieber. Can you imagine driving here from Canada? No. No. No, it depends on what part of Canada. I mean, if you come down from Niagara Falls, that area is not too bad.

but anywhere else. Maybe it'll be pretty because the leaves are changing. If you're coming from like Saskatchewan. If you were coming from anywhere north of Toronto or further than Toronto, it's going to be a long way. Whiskey bent and hail bound, little Hank Williams Jr. Are you just looking at your Spotify?

I'm looking at my playlist. Man, it's hard to beat. Man in the mirror by Michael Jackson. You know. Like, that song just does it for me. Life is a highway. Oh, man. Living on a prayer.

You want to make a change. So do you guys have anything to rant about? Hello. Hello. Check one. You know, I do have a little bit of a rant this week. Oh. You know, my rant is...

You had to make Madeline's lunch this morning. No, I do it a lot, so I'm pretty used to. But I wasn't expecting it this morning after getting home later. Temple is being lazy as hell. Yeah, what the hell, man? Man, there's nothing worse than a lazy woman on a Monday morning. after we've been gone working all weekend. Yeah, that's right.

You're going to get your ass chewed out. No, your day. Okay, I'm going to stop. I've been gone for four days, woman, and now you want me to get up and make these kids lunch? Yeah, and find the books. I saw your kids picture of, what is it, wacky sock and hair day? Wacky sock, yeah, I made them breakfast. So my rant begins with the, you know, and I don't mind leaving messages open on Twitter and stuff,

because it's fun interacting with people. You know, I like hearing what people's take. Even the trolls. Even the trolls. But when you come at me and tell me you're disappointed in me and you're disappointed in me and what I'm doing with what I'm going to do next without knowing, you don't know these people.

You don't know, like, you don't know what these guys are like away from the racetrack or what they do. You know, once you get to know most of these guys, they're pretty fun to hang out with. You had some bad feedback on Twitter from going to Ligano. Well, people just come at me and tell me like, oh, well, I'm very disappointing. Don't tell me you're disappointed me when you have no idea about. How about this?

You aren't trying to make them not be disappointed. You don't give a shit. Wow, I'm just saying. Who cares if people are disappointed? My point is like, don't judge. Did you wake up this morning like, man, I really hope I'll make these Twitter follows. Happy as hell today. I don't want people to judge these guys.

I think sometimes some of these drivers get judged before people even know them. I think that's true for anyone anywhere. Well, anywhere, but... This just goes back to that Michael Jackson song, Man in the Mirror. You're going to make a change. Oh, my God. And it's got to start with you. That's going to start with the mirror.

Whoever sent you that message needs to listen to this song. We're going to get sued for licensing rights or something. I'm tight with Michael's people. Listen. See, if that guy listened to that song, he wouldn't have sent TJ that... A tweet. So if we all listen to a little bit more MJ, I'll be a little nicer.

A little MJ and a little country. If these terrorist people listen to country music, they wouldn't blow stuff up. They would be at so much better peace. They just want to drink a beer and hang out on their porch with their dog. So what you're saying is you want to be a diplomat. Yes. I'll just. With Michael Jackson.

You're just going to use Michael Jackson songs. If we piped country music into Pakistan, those people will become better people. I just feel like that would. So in your meeting with what's his name over there in North Korea? You're just going to bring. You're going to bring a Michael Jackson CD and play it for him. If we take that little rocket man and we brought him on this podcast, first of all, if he dressed real stupid, had that shit haircut, I'd be like, hey, bro.

I cut my own hair. I cut my own hair. He does. He puts a bowl on his head and he comes around it. Sit down. I'm going to fix your hair. Kim Jong-un. First and foremost, we're going to fix his hair and his dressing.

But the second thing is, we're going to expose these people to a music. culture that is just friendly. What would be the first song you would play for him? Obviously, man in the air. For Jim Kong Lange? What's his name? Kemp John Hockey.

You know what, man, a little Randy Travis deeper than the holler? My love is deeper than the holler. If he doesn't speak English, though. That song, you feel good about yourself. He's going to need a North Korean

translator. Well, we can sing a North Korean. How's that great? Like, what's the closest? Oh, yeah, da-da-da-d-dun. Holla? They still say holla

because they don't have a symbol for holla. What's that a rapper guy that looked like him? From a couple of years. Oh, that guy's a god. Or William hung? No. God, it's sang that song that we all did a dance to.

Yes. Oh. Gangdom style. Gangom style. That was the worst song ever. That guy hates America. And yet Americans gave us. him all this money and attention. He hates America.

His name was Cy, P-S-Y. Oh, yeah, that's right. Yeah. If I saw one more person attempt to do that dance in a dumb video. I can teach you how to do it. I'm good. I can. Can you do it? Can you do it? Yeah, I can do it. Let's see it. I can do any dance. I can do the dance. Oh, my God. Oh, geez. Are there's pants linen? I don't know. Those are from the outlet. That's from my Oakley outlet. Oet. Anyway. Anyway, so Brett again, well, he won.

Did he see Picks? Sorry. He won this week. It's not getting close, bruce. You can win out and only tie. You picked Denny. So Brett is still winning 18 to 14. Here's the bad news.

We are going into Martinsville. The bad news is TJ cannot win. He can only tie. That's fine. It's 18 to 14. I damn it had you yesterday. What is the bet anyway? I think the loser has to buy everybody breakfast.

Oh, right. Why is it always breakfast with you people? You know, how many times? I bought breakfast already. Yeah, you used to bring breakfast every day. Yeah. But then let's go. Let's make him buy something else.

Yeah, no. Yeah, not happening. Make him go to, hey, did you hear that? Shooting at Big Ows or something? Huh? Yeah, I was going to say to make him buy drinks at Big Alas. I took Kristen to Big Alas once. Thank God they didn't shoot at us.

That's where we have our business meetings at the bar. Oh, boy. We like to schedule them at about 3 o'clock. That way we can get out of work early. And then about 308 will pop. Pop a cold one. It's a good time. That's the best thing about working at junior motorsports.

When you win, they let you drink beer at work. Beer toast. That's those are fun. Except William gets milk or a juice box. Milk and cookies too. Actually, TJ brings me a juice box, too. Is he 19? He's 19, yeah.

He's 19. Wow. How about that? You're 19 years old. Going on a cup car. How many exfinity races is here? Three. Three exfinity races.

You're going into the playoff. You're sitting really pretty. You need a couple more good races. You're going to Hendrick Motorsports to get in a 24 car. And of the three that you won, you won Daytona and Indy. And you're in college. And when you land at the FBO, your rental car is never there.

So much cooler. Unless you go to Chicago and you have five rental cars. But could you imagine being William Byron right now? Good looking kid, great hair, well-spoken. Cacky. In college. What are you trying to say? And rich.

What are you trying to say? He's good. I'm just saying I like to be William Byron. right now. He's got it going right now. We need to bring that kid on the show. We need to be sweet. We need to, yeah, but we need to change it a little bit of that. He's very calm.

Yeah. Dave said it's one of the calmest people he's ever heard in the car. Yeah. That's cruechiefe. That's actually a very... It's calmer than Elliot. It doesn't happen a lot nowadays. These drivers are...

There's no way on God's Green Earth. These are the same tires. I just laughed because he said God's Green Earth while he was mad. Hey, Elliot listens to this podcast, too, Kristen. That's right. Don't... I get a free pass. You do.

I think Elliot stays pretty calm most of the time. He has a few moments here and there, but he's very communicative. He doesn't rage like some of these guys. He doesn't scream, leave it up alone. Yeah. Blake Dale Jr. Yeah, basically. I got a no better than that, Brett.

I'm like, 10 floor, man. Spot the race. Man, I thought I did great right there. Damn it. Spot the race, TJ. Leave it up. All righty then. You got it, man.

Whatever you say. Martinsville, here we come. I got a pick. Let's go. I got Harvick. Oh, Kevin Harvick. Yeah, that guy's pretty good. Happy Harvick. Man, I hate to bust your bubble.

Are you going to pick Timmy Hill? Timmy Hill. Damn, I've already used Kevin Hamlin. Kevin Hamlin? I've already used Denny Hamlin. Yep, that was going to be my pick too, but I used him last weekend. What an idiot. Yeah, that was.

Both of us weren't thinking about. Yeah, you used Denny and Loudon. Man. That was the second best one to use Denny. And he just used Kevin. the hitman Harvick I mean you can't

literally not a thing you can't even use Clint you can't use Clint Clint's pretty good there too Clint's good there I haven't used Harvick can we pick the same guy I'm just kidding

Joey Gase would love it if you picked him man he's not even in a cup car is he I could remember that time Matt Kenseth got mad at your future employer

Joy Lagano at Martinsville I do I think you should pick Cole quit what why am I saying what way

man man i'm in a fine here because i walked in this room planning on picking danny hamlin well well you so so since i can't pick him i'm going to pick jimmy johnson jimmy johnson jimmy johnson jimmy johnson jimmy jonson jimmy do funny jonson jimmy do funny johnson it's so stupid i had somebody either told me don't be a do funny head brett So somebody either told me or tweeted me this week, they love the show because they like your laugh. My laugh's annoying. And it was a girl. Oh.

Oh, great guy. We're getting fan mail at 30 mile now. Brett did get fan mail. This is the second time this year I've got fan mail. Mr. Brett Griffin, and they spelled your name correctly. Yep. Second time I've got fan mail. Appreciate all you fans out there.

All two of you. The last person sent me a sunscreen. case that was a flask. What? Yeah. It's like they knew I liked to drink. And that you were pale as... It was a sunscreen.

Oh, what was it? It was a... It looked like sunscreen, but it was a flask. Oh. So then I start Googling these things because I'm kind of amazed by it, and I find a tampon one that can be used as a flask. Um, that's weird. Do you know about these things?

No. I know about flask. I have a lot of those. I know some people in college they used to like take binoculars in, but the binoculars, you unscrew where you look through the eyes. And it's like two spots for whiskey or whatever. That could be used as a weapon now. Binoculars, those are heavy. So you have to go and look at these cool flask.

But anyway, the last person sent me a flask. This person sent me a letter. Please stop doing the podcast. Look, sunscreen flask. 899 for a sunscreen flask. Oh, that's awesome. It looks exactly like sunscreen. Yeah. So we're rolling right into a college game or NFL game or NASCAR race.

That's pretty neat idea. Not that we would suggest you do that. Never. Plus, you can take a liquor into a NASCAR race. You can't? Yeah. Yeah. Look, not a liquor bottle.

Well. Because you can't bring bottles. And I don't know any liquor that's in plastic. Can you bring in a baby bottle? I know some liquor that's in plastic. Yeah, Lord Calvert. Old English. What was the first shot you ever took?

Oh. How did I? The first of my brother ever took was not. 99 bananas. I was in high school. I was too. We would go by, we had a bootleger name Joe Bens, and you would go to Joe Bens. How do you remember this?

And you'd buy Lord Calvert, and you'd chase it with Mountain Dew. Oh, God. God, I couldn't do that now. No. I think, uh, there wasn't anything to do in Pageland. You got to realize. Yeah, I know. We'd drive through there on the way to Darlington.

I don't even remember. I don't either. Yeah, I think mine was whiskey, but I don't know. I think my one was whiskey, but I don't know. I think my one was whiskey, too. Actually, my grandma made me drink Rock and Rye when I'd have a cold. She'd take a big tablespoon and put sugar in it and then pour Rock and Rye in it. The hell's Rock and Rye?

It's a nasty-ass whiskey, but it was supposed to make you stop coughing. See, that's an old Southern remedy. Because it passed you out. Well, he's done coughing because he's unconscious. Drink it. Drink it. Franks more. All right.

You guys have fun of Martinsville. You got to go to work. Yeah, I got stuff for your clients. You work from home? I got a two-for with Brett. Brett, door bumper clear, and then Brett, business manager for his client, one-main financial. Can you believe that? Xfinity should be racing Martinsville this weekend.

Eh, I'm good. It'd be a great race. One day show. I got some laundry to do. One day show. Do you not like great racing? I would love great. I would rather go to Martinsville, though, than, like, mid-Ohio.
