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 win. Hey everybody, I'm T.J. Majors. Spotter of the 88 cup car, the 7xfinity car, and the 29 truck, and full house today. Brett Griffin, spotter for a Clint Boyer, Elliott Sadler, back truck racing this weekend with Mike Snyder in Texas. Hey, guys, it's KB. I'm not a spotter. I just play one on TV. What are you? TJ's now a cyclist. I'm a cyclist. TJ, I'm so proud of you. Welcome to the club.

Yeah. Thanks. I think you're a follow. I think you're just doing it to be cool. I don't know if you don't actually put that stuff on to be cool. There's no... I rode one of Pocono, that thing on my ass was so uncomfortable. The bike seats, I feel like I needed one of them big ones with the three springs underneath. Yeah. Like, one of them...

Beach bike. Yes. Like, why can't you use that? Banana bike? I mean, you're sitting on it. Why can't you use one of those seats? Why do you have to have that tiny little seat? Who'd you ride with?

Delgineeringer Skyspeed. Yeah. Yeah. It was good. It was a good ride. It was my first one. And, you know, Do you, mooch your bike off of? I borrowed one from Scott.

Scott's like a professional. He could ride 75 miles probably. And he goes and runs all these races and stuff too. Like, he's a beast. So we take off and he's like, man, where were all you guys when I was racing? I was still cycling back then. Now you guys think it's cool. And I'm like, where were you then?

But Scott's a machine at him. And he was good coach, too. I mean, he helped me get started and what I needed to get. and stuff. He's been a great influence. Did you buy you some clip-in shoes? I had to, yeah. I'll tell you what.

Are they expensive? Yeah, more than what you think. I'll tell you this. When you come to a stop sign, you better know that you need to get out before you get there because you'll be like, oh, stop.

Did you practice a little bit, clipping in and out? Yeah, I did a little bit. But, I mean, you don't, it's something that you're so used to rolling up to a stop sign and just putting your foot down or whatever. It's hooked in there.

We were at Kansas a few weeks ago. and I came up on the track in McMurray and Chase Elliott, and I love them getting ready to cross the road on their bikes. Oh, yeah. Chase Elliott went to pedal, and he wasn't clipped in, and he thought he was. Dude, he hammered his shin. I know that hurt.

Because it hurts to hit your shin. Yeah. One of the worst pains ever is walking into a trailer hitch on the back of a truck that you don't see, and it hits you right below the knee or something. It'll make you fall down. Yeah, it should be illegal to leave a trailer hitch. Just in the back hooked up and just not even toeing or anything. Yeah.

Did you have to go up on Friday to Martinsville? I did not go on Friday. Friday was my second day at home with a baby girl. That's good. I love that schedule. I don't have a truck on Friday either. I did, yeah, this two-day weekend schedule is. Yeah.

I tell you what, I'm looking forward to them. I mean, not only is it a little bit more time at home, but just I think it's better for the fans. Sunday seemed like a fun race day to me. I agree. There was a lot going on. It was all meaningful. But there was a little bit of downtime, but there was stuff going on for. a lot of people like guys setting up the pit stalls and

driver's meetings and stuff but it felt kind of weird to qualify and then wait for three hours but I understand that you have to have a little bit of a gap because if somebody does have a problem in qualifying you got to give them time to get something prepared you know and ready so yeah Jimmy obviously spun out had to go to the rear after making some adjustments yeah I don't think anybody wrecks more in practice and are qualifying than Jimmy Johnson Jimmy is the best guy

at spinning out and not hitting anything. He spun out twice at Kansas. He spun out three times in the last two weeks and is really yet to hit anything. Yeah, yeah. And he spends out in places that you're supposed to hit stuff. And he never, he never terraces. I mean, once in a while, but I'm going to sit, Jimmy.

He's even good at spinning out that guy. He is good at, yeah. He's good at everything. He's probably 10 times at that. He's the greatest. The greatest. He's awesome. Yeah.

Martinsville was fun. Apparently, Josh doesn't know a lot about it. Did you notice that the front... Did you watch race? Yeah. Okay. Kristen didn't watch the race. Josh watched the race.

Did you notice that the front stretch wasn't lit up last night? Yeah, it was darker than what I thought it was going to be. Like the backstretch was great, but the front stretch, the lights weren't tall enough. When they started wrecking across the finish line, all I saw was sparks and flames and stuff, and they were bright. Yeah. So it was enough to race still, but it wasn't what we were used to. And I think if we go there and do that a few more times, we're going to be used to it. Did you know?

I noticed that, I mean, it seemed like to me that, you know, the restarts obviously were exciting. But beyond that, it was hard to pass unless a guy was really aggressive in those first 20 laps and burn up his right rear. And if he did, then you could jockey with him. But if you did, man, it was pretty hard to pass. It was definitely hard to pass. But to me, it's always like that there. A guy, it depends on how aggressive the guy you're trying to pass wants to be. You're kind of at his mercy.

If he wants to be real hard to pass, he pinches you. you down and it kind of forces you to rough them up a little bit, which is the great part about short track racing. A lot of these guys, you know, and you can do it right. You can go in there and say, hey, guy, I'm here. You can hit him bump them a few times and it just disturbs them a little bit. And, um, right now I was like trying to pass a kidney stone yesterday. We race Ryan quite a bit there for a while and he was he was tough to pass. He was very tough to pass. He was very tough to pass. Yes. That's, that's the product of short track racing. Now, he, the leaders ran him down.

He was racing with a couple other cars. Leaders ran him down, Chase ran around and had a hard time getting by him again. Yes. And you know, but that's Ryan, I mean,

that's how Ryan races, and there's nothing wrong with that. But that's, uh, to me, that's a good short track racing. You know, you're at the mercy and,

you know, when Ryan's going to stop racing that hard? When these guys start rolling in there and saying, you know, I'm not dealing with this today. Right. You're going up the racetrack. Yeah.

You know, hit me back. I mean, if you want to do that, they're, I think once people start not taking it, then you won't see it as much. But, I mean, it's a good short track racing. Blaney and Harvick got into it.

They did. And it looked to me kind of like Blaney checked up in the center. And that's easy to do there if you overroll the center. And Harvick nailed him in the ass. And so then Harvick got under him, and Blaney doored him, knocked Harvick's right front in. And I was like, man, you know, if they aren't both Ford teammates, Harvick wrecks that guy. because Harvick is a guy that you don't typically play that game with. Yeah, but I don't know, man.

I mean, you're to the point. You're to the point now where you can't really, I think if it's the spring race, he might have. I think right now it's not really the time you want to push somebody like that. You know, you push somebody out and they don't have anything to lose after that. Yeah. You got a lot to lose after it. So I watched Harvick wear his bumper out for 30 laps because we weren't,

we were not too far behind it there when that was going on. And he wore his bumper out. for a long time. And Blaney wasn't doing anything wrong. He's just running his race. I mean, and finally, Harvey hit him pretty hard one time. And I saw Blaney and said,

he'd get right back in the throttle. He kind of lifted for a second, let Kevin run back into him again. Then the 17 drove around, Kevin, at that point. But, I mean, that's just, that's short track race, and I love it. I mean, to me, when you got guys

that are willing to battle for position, that's battle for position the right way. How about Trevor Bain takes a 30th place race car and finish the sixth. He drove, he was flying at the end. He was flying. I mean, this guy is getting lapped and he's wrecking every corner and you see him shoot up the racetrack and then you see the rundown and you're like, Trevor Bain, six.

Yep. Yep. 17, first accident of the race. Yeah. Ends up back up there. Yeah. He ends up 10. Yeah.

I mean, that's just. That's short track racing. You can't do that at a mile and a half. It's so hard to do it a mile and a half. I mean, you can, but it's a lot harder to do. Yeah. But, yeah, I love short tracks. wish we had a whole bunch more.

I know, man. You know, you gotta wonder what these owners were thinking. I guess they were thinking we can pack 150,000 people into a mile and a half track back in the day. And now it's like, we got too many mile and a halves. We need to. I would rather. We need short tracks. I would rather sell out short tracks for two years in advance, like a Lambo or something like that in football,

then go to these bigger tracks. And, you know, I mean, I like mile and a half racing too, but it's just separates so much. It's more about car. It's more about car than it is about, you know, technique and skill. I mean, you take a truck to Kansas. You hold it wide open. It's not, you know, it's not that hard. If you're a race fan, that race should be one of the top three on your bucket list.

The fall Martinsville race has to be a top three race based on what we saw last night. Even the spring was good. Based on what we've seen years ago. I mean, the Ligano-O-Kinza thing, same thing. You know, like, there's a lot of excitement there. Martinsville Market is a is a stay in Greensboro stay in Winston

don't stay in Martinsville I don't know if you can't stay in Martinsville It's only place to stay in Martinsville It's only 35, 40 minutes to Greensboro phenomenal hotels there A bunch of them Don't stay in Martinsville and definitely buy tickets to this race I used to stay in Winston well

Yeah I used to stay in Winston's sale I just don't know I just don't see why we don't go to more of these 45 minutes Jeff Gluck's poll this morning was 88% of the respondents said it was a great race. See, I don't, this, like, he's been doing these polls for quite a while now.

Yeah. And every time we run a short track or a road course, they get the highest ratings. Yeah. They're the best ratings. And I don't, like, that's what our sport started with, too. We need to have more short tracks. I mean, we got short tracks that are ready for this. So, South Boston, you know, I don't, and I don't really believe, I'm not sure that we need

safer barriers in South Boston. It's pretty small. You know, I don't think it's a safer barrier issue there. I'm not sure it's got a pit road as well we used to race there yeah I mean I never spotted a race there I spotted late models I've never spotted a late models I've never spotted a yeah I've never spotted a spinning race there anything like that but we used to race there yeah I don't know why I mean that would Matt how much fun would it be knowing that we're going to south Boston next week yeah that'd be awesome dude I would I could not wait another Saturday night race at South Boston it's Sunday to make a

Sunday afternoon I don't care these the in all fairness these four final tracks are pretty darn good. They're not bad. Martinsville, Phoenix, Texas, Homestead. I mean, those are four pretty darn good racetracks. As long as Texas doesn't get into that PJ1 deal that SMI tracks have been doing. Please, dear God, don't do that.

I really do not like that stuff. Now we're bringing God into it. I hate when they spray that stuff on the track. Oh, stupid. Nozzles break, everything happens. Oh, yeah. Are we supposed to be doing something with a points thing on here? No, or is it just here as a reference point?

It's just a reference. Got it. If you'd read your group, me. After you don't watch the race, you would be up to speed. I don't read it. Your personality and give a fuck this morning is about as high as Josh is usually as. It's an accurate statement. Josh is in the corner smiling and ready to do this show.

Yeah, he's like perked up. I watched my Eagles go 7 and 1 yesterday. And then I went to the Renaissance Fair with my. You couldn't watch the race? It was on one of our other TVs, but we went to the Renaissance. So what wins play? Good. He is phenomenal.

Yeah. We're going to the Super Bowl. Oh. Called it. Did you get a tattoo? Danny Jr. even said we're going to the Super Bowl. No, Carson once is freaking awesome. Wow.

Out of a shot playing. He's probably going to get hurt next week now. Listen, after years of disappointment with the Philadelphia Eagles, I'm taking this. But also, I have not enough coffee, and I'm kind of like just tired. I'm blah. It's a little premature to be saying the Super Bowl. I'm just saying. Yeah.

Coming from a Bill's fan. They say Tollet Bowl. That's where you might be here. That's what Pitt plays in. bowl game. All right, we're going in a spot-on, spot-off. Brett, you're going first. Okay.

Denny wrecks Chase and takes out half the field coming to the finish. Well, this is two different things. Denny wrecks Chase, you aren't going to like this, but spot on for Denny. Denny's trying to lock himself in the homestead. I don't think he intentionally wrecked him. I think he meant to move him. However, he didn't move him. He wrecked him.

So spot on for Denny. Unfortunately, that sucks for Chase. Taking out half the field. coming to the finish dude, spot the off. What were you doing? He comes off a four. We actually were the ones that made contact with him at that point because he had raced us in a very similar manner early in the race. And T.J. and I were just talking about this, not about Clint and Denny, but about Dale Jr. and Jimmy. So we're literally, he's barely on our inside bumper. And Clint's coming down thinking Denny's going to give it to him. Denny doesn't give it to him.

He shoots us up the racetrack. We lose three spots. Very similar thing. Here we are going into turn three. Denny's pinching now Clint, Clint's like, I ain't giving it to you, sends him up the racetrack. Then Denny comes off four and hangs the left and literally wrecked 18 cars. Spot off for causing that big wreck. You know, I got to go spot off because he wrecked chase. He didn't move him. He wrecked him. You know, I don't know what his intent was.

He can say it wasn't mean to wreck him, but you did. So, you know, spot off for that. You know, Denny's a great short track driver. He knows. What about Chase, what about Chase racing Kesslowski the way that he did and ultimately moving Kesslowski? I mean, that's not, I mean, what's wrong with that? I'm just asking you. I don't, you know, that's what Chase thought he had to do to win the race, you know, and he didn't run down there.

He gave Brad a chance to get rolling again and get straightened out. I mean, maybe that comes back to Haun him next time he races Brad or, you know, whatever. But if Denny did what he thought he had to do to win the race. Well, it was during the swing ruining somebody's race. You know, Chase didn't ruin Brad's race. He just took basically the win from him. I mean, he didn't wreck him. He took away his free ticket to Homestead.

It took his way his free ticket, but he didn't give him a DNF, basically. Yeah, but he could have. I mean, it could have, but he didn't. So, you know, and coming to the checker, we don't, we didn't need to wreck that many cars coming across the line. I mean, that's ridiculous. I couldn't believe it. When he hung a left into Blaney, and, I mean, at that point,

it's like, Denny's what went through his mind was, I'm going so much slower than everybody behind me. If I just hang a left, everybody's going to have to slow down and it's going to minimize my positions being lost. And Martinsville's a lot wider than you think it is. The reality is entry of the corner, it's not wide. But on the straightaways, it's five lanes wide. And holy shit, they were five lanes wide reckoned coming to the checker flag.

Where did Clint finish? Third. Nice, buddy. Yeah, yeah. Adele was 11th? Oh, does she surprise on this show? Nice. Third, yeah.

No, it's just. Shot. Congrats. Spot on, spot off. The angry fan approaches Denny Hamlin on pit road post race. It's very angry. What an idiot. I don't mind fans having opinions.

I don't mind a fan telling a guy, you know, hey, I don't like you. You right? I don't, I do have a problem with getting physical. I have a problem with that. But if you want to tell, you know, you bring. bringing this up on yourself when you do things like he did. You just cleaned a guy out that could have won the race. I mean, you wrecked him.

So I'm not saying that guy, that fan has a right to go there and make contact with Danny or anything like that, but he has an opinion. And if you're, that's a short track, I mean, he has, his, his voice can be heard. I've, I've gotten older. You have. And as I've gotten older, I didn't used to appreciate other people's wisdom. I thought I was already smart enough. But I realize now that I'm not.

So when I sat down with Greg Zipadelli last year to talk about everything in terms of coming to Stuart Hoss Racing, he gave me some advice. Oh, boy. And he said, don't tweet anything 15 minutes after the race. Because if you're pissed off about something, it'll give you an opportunity to calm down. And I was like, how had you not learned that prior to that conversation last year? Well, it wasn't necessarily that I didn't know that. It's just that nobody had ever brought to my attention that perhaps 15 minutes will make a world of difference in my decision-making ability. So this particular fan, it's a privilege that he's where he's at.

He is on pit road after a race. You do not buy a ticket for that. We all know that. You are given a credential via the track, via a sponsor, via a team, or via a driver. Or he simply jumped security. And I have a hard time believing a dude that weighs 300. and it looks like a burly redneck, okay? I have a hard time believing that he snuck through that little narrow-ass tunnel

that we all enter the racetrack. So it is number one a privilege that he's there. Number two, at no point in any other sporting world, am I going to have an opportunity to go cuss out Peyton Manning for intentionally clipping someone on an interception return, or go attack a pitcher because he beamed a baseball player on purpose, or hit a soccer player with a 10-gauge shotgun because he kicked the ball into the wrong goal.

At no point, listen to me. That really escalated. I'm pissed off about this. This is at the venue, okay? To T.J's point, if you see Clint Boyer three days later, again, we've passed that window of you have an opportunity to calm down. If you see somebody away from the venue, you think? So my whole perspective of this is, number one, you probably shouldn't be there if that's how you're going to act.

Number two, you should not be able to get close to an athlete in an aggressive manner. And people say, well, you didn't hit him. Oh, he took three people to restrain this guy. It was five. They should have paced him and kicked him in the back of the head to come a fat ass down. I don't have patience for this. I'm friends with some professional wrestlers. Not like the kind that were the onesies, the kinds that were like, like,

Speedos. It's the Super Jams. And you're like Jeff Jared. Okay. If a fan attempts to get in the ring, the wrestlers beat the living shit out of that fan because they don't know what that guy is coming to do to them. This is a very similar situation.

This is in our office. You imagine being in your office in an accounting world and in-walk somebody that's mad about an invoice you may start trying to beat your ass. That is not the place for that. If you want to, T.J.'s point after the fact, you know, walk through an autograph line and go, man, I don't appreciate how that.

you wrecked Chase. I'm going to swing at you. Like, then it's, it is what it is, but not there. See, I don't, that happens at football games all the time. Does I take the place to the rant at the end of the show? They can't get to the players. No, I'm throwing from the top of the stands to the tunnel. What I'm saying is, like, I don't mind the talking, but the physical part, I don't,

I don't agree with it all. I don't mind the talking. Like, if you're within it, like, those guys walk into the tunnels, those football players get that cool. By the way, he shouldn't, it wasn't even on, like, it was on the track. It wasn't even on pit road. Like he was over the wall He was on pit road

Yeah I thought it was pit road They should have Goldberged him I'm telling you they should took this dude down Chicken winged him Pulled that pretty ass hair he is And yeah I don't like the physical part of it But if you

I don't mind a guy You know if you being passionate And saying hey I don't appreciate you You know your dirty driver or whatever When you I've crossed the front stretch of Martinsville After Jimmy's won a few times They go back into the infield

I've caught when Jeff won And those people in the stands, they're sitting there doing that the whole time. I don't know if you've ever heard them or whatever, but it's pretty rough in the bottom row. We've had instances where spotters coming from a spotter stand across the racetrack were verbally harassed. We've had an instance where an NASCAR official was knocked out. I've been called a B.

Trying to get people away from Elliot. Because Dale Jr. didn't win the race. True story. This is a whole different world. You are a female. It could have been a PR girl. It could have been a crew guy. Everybody with ultimately FedEx on their chest could have been a target of this idiot.

Who, if he comes in here, Matt, TJ, I'm going to need some help. He's a big boy. That's scary, though, because... Josh is up first. Josh is by the door. We're good. I've been in many instances where people, where you're trying to keep people... You're not trying to keep fans away from the drivers, but, like, if they're doing media,

you're trying to create a space and you don't want them there, and then they end up, like, berating you and calling you names because they're drunk after the race. You're heartless. Yeah. I've been called it several times. Because that's way out of balance. I'm here to do my job. You're here to be a fan.

How about you enjoy it? When you put that look on your face, you can, you can look kind of. Hey, part of my job is to make sure my team is safe and they're not being, you don't need 15 people trying to grab Elliot's butt for God's sake. I mean, this, you know, people last night on Twitter were comparing it to the guy climbing the fence at Richmond. That guy climbing the fence at Richmond put himself in danger. Just wanted a better seat. What an idiot. Because I thought that was...

Didn't he get arrested? Arrested. Went to jail for 30 days and banned from that property the rest of his life. Now, I'm not saying ban this guy from anything. I'm just saying we can't set a precedence where this is remotely tolerated. I got you. You want to have to deal with that on pit road? No.

I don't either. I mean, literally, because PR people have to deal with that, marketing people have to deal with that. A big jack man, if he's standing beside Denny and here, something he don't like, that guy's going to get his fat ass beat. Because he's Jackman or like muscle milk ads. Muscle milk ads. He's some big boys. Man panties.

Heartless. Spot on, spot off. Joey Legano blows a tire late Koskislauski, the victory. Can you talk about this, T.J.? I don't know. I mean. Lugano with nine laps to go has a tire rub that we all know is going to blow. his teammate has a 10 car length lead.

Lugano and his crew chief selfishly stay out. They blow a tire, ultimately causing and triggering this wreck fest that ensued after the fact in which Brad was moved out of the lead and went to tent. Chase was wrecked. Kyle Busch knocks in, you know, this fender on Ligano's car to start all this crap. So what Kyle Busch did to Lugano started it, and then Ligano, crew chief telling him to stay out, it's going to go away, cost the two a free pass. What's going to go away?

The tire? The tire rub. He basically said the tire rub will go away, stay out there, and it didn't go away. Roger Penske, I don't know where he was, but he had to be having a hissy fit because everybody on the roof, T.J. will agree with it on this point. Everybody on the roof knew that tire was going to blow up. It did not look good. If you were spotting that race, what would you have done?

That race right there, I would have probably suggested. to pit. Just because of the circumstances, nothing to really gain on your end, everything to lose for your teammate up there that, you know, I probably would have pitted there. Spring race, I probably stay out. Yep. Spring race, I stay out for sure. Who cares? Yeah, I mean, you spin out, you don't go a lap down, you did anything. Yeah. But right there under them circumstances, I probably knowing my teammates leading and it's coming down to the end, I probably try to get off the racetrack. We have something we say a lot in racing and it's big picture. And I mean,

that was terrible big picture racing for Pinsky as a company. Yeah. To me that starts. Who's 22 crew chief? Todd Gordon. Okay. But to me, you know, you,

you got to come to it. Like, the driver really can't tell about it's rubbing. You know, the driver can't. He's got a left side mirror. Yeah, but you can't really tell. But he can't see everything. You don't know how the severity of it.

So I think as a company, you got a, they got, they got ways to communicate with each other. They got to be talking with each other. you know, like the two needs to slide, hey, you know, just so you know, don't, we were trying to make it here. It was could be homestead. So I said it on my channel, too, to bugger.

I said the 22 is going to blow a tire, cost this two car the win. I cannot believe he is not pitting. And he kept going, and he kept going, and he did. Yeah. I mean, I personally think. And that started all this wrecking. Like if that doesn't happen. Well, the 66 started all the wrecking.

Yeah. How many 66es were in that race? We pass one like every three laps. Yeah, but I mean, at least he was on the bottom and out of the way. It's like he was waiting for the 24-hour fuel mileage race to start, and he was going to win that damn thing. You know what I liked about him? You know what I liked about him is every time he caught him?

He was on the bottom, and you never had to catch him off the corner on the high side and slow down. Like, once you cleared him, you came down and you carried on. He never cost anybody's positions. Have you known Carl alone? A long time. Joe hand alone. Spot on, spot off. Kevin Harvick, Jabs, Ryan Blaney post race.

TJ You know Do you see these? So my spot off on it is going to be That you jabbed them when you were walking away You know you were kind of like Oh, I'm going to hit run Like if you're going to jab a guy, stand in there

You know what I mean? Like Yeah I mean you pushed you pushed Brad into a fight before You're going to jab a guy That was great You're going to jab a guy and run You volunteered Brad to get his ass beat

Yeah And that one. Hey, you're voluntled right here to go get punched. Well, I'm saying is if you're going to jab a guy, stand in there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The, uh...

What is it? Nothing. The funny thing about it is, like, if T.J. and I are having words and it's friendly banter. Like normal. Then I'm going to punch him in the arm. I'm going to slap him on the arm. Like, there's two things I'm not going to do to a guy. I'm not going to hit his head because if you hit my head, I'm going to hit you in the mouth.

and I'm not going to hit you in the ribs because if you hit me the ribs, I'm going to hit you in the mouth. And Harvick's punch was like a quick rib shot. And then Blaney had an even harder punch a jab back at Harvick. But to TJ's point, they're both walking off. So you don't know what the context of the conversation was. And I can't tell if Harvick's hands closed or open.

You know, like there's a few things I couldn't tell in that. But it certainly looked like... Also junk, right? You're not supposed to hit each other in the junk. You don't hit each other. You never hit each other in a junk, even in a fight. Junk's off limits. The Dufonny's off.

Anti-Dufonny punching. But, I mean, it was, look, man, this is all, all this stuff we're talking about is entertaining. And it's great for our sport. It's not great for Chase Elliott fans. It's not great for Brad Caslowski fans. But for the sport in general. That's a good weekend. It's a wonderful weekend.

I mean, in general, that's what short track does, man. It brings everybody to get. You can't get away from each other there. You know, you get somebody. lose at Texas or cans or something, you get away. That's hard for them to get back to you. You run into a guy at Martinsville, he's still going to be there.

You know, you can't just get away. Or the place is so small, you're probably going to see him at some point again here in the next 100 laps. Like you were saying, the Kenseth and Lugano thing was a perfect example of that. Yeah, yeah. Spot on, spot off.

Bubba Wallace officially to the 43 and 2018, Brett. Well, we knew this was coming, and I don't know that we, I think we did tell everybody. by, didn't we? I don't know. You probably did. We told him that Bubble would be full-time and we had heard him to the 43. So, I mean, I think it's wonderful for the sport.

You know, I just drove by Richard Petty Motorsports and there were only 15 cars in the parking lot. And that tells us that they're not going to operate the way that they're operating now. All signs point them moving their operations to welcome North Carolina. Their building's up for lease. Yeah, 86,000 square foot. And it looks like they got about. about about 200,000 square foot per person in there right now based on the car count. So they got plenty of workspace up the hill.

You know, it's a tough time of the year to see some of those things happen, but you have to hope that, you know, where the negatives are there with folks losing their job, that whatever's going to happen on the other side of this thing, that it's going to be good for the sport and good for RPM. I don't know what they're what they got coming up, but I mean, obviously, you know, a little bit, but what we think is going to happen, but it might be better for them. I think I'm glad for Bubba. I think he auditioned well in that car.

I agree. And I think he can race with these caliber of drivers. I think it's going to be a, I think it's a breath of fresh air for. A brush of fresh air. Yeah. I think it's a breath of fresh air for Bubba in that team. Press to fresh air. Easy, job.

Easy. I think, I think, man, Bubba ran five spots better than I thought he would when he got in the 43. Yeah, and he raced fine, like he raced well. And I'll tell you what else. He has, I don't know that he has this level of talent because we've yet to see him in this grade of equipment, but he has the aggressiveness that Blaney has, that Chase has. He's a guy that'll get in there and get after it. And those guys are ultimately who put on a show. That's what we need.

Yeah. We don't see a show if these guys are all riding helicopters together and their kids are playing together and they're all going cycling together. Like, when you have that relationship, it changes how you compete. I don't care what anybody tells you. Now, there's certain times, Daytona 500, yes. Yesterday's race coming with 10 to go. Yes, you sit it all aside. You don't care if you never speak to each other again.

But at midways through the race, T.J. knows this. I mean, it's hard when you have that relationship. These guys are going to race their asses off. You can't come here and try to be friends with everybody. You've got to be aggressive. They're all talented. I don't think, I definitely think it changes when you know all these people real well and, you know, you race them differently. You know, back in the day, these guys,

hang out during the week that much. They came together, a race track on the weekends, and if you were in the way, you got moved. Yeah. You know, and that's how they raced. Yeah.

So. 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 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. There's actually one really close to us where we're at right now. So find your closest one main at 1Mainfinancial.com. Lending made personal. 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 Exaltor Racing, a must follow for any Dale Jr. fan. All right, we're going into FastLand. I'm going to give TJ and Brett a topic to debate, and they are going to alternate who responds first, and it doesn't really matter. Dinger works. Because no one adheres to the 30 seconds. That's not true.

We don't even have a timer anymore. Yeah, we do. Josh is timing it. Yeah, I don't ever use it because y'all do you count 1001? No. When I hit you at 30 seconds, you're like, Josh, I wasn't finished yet. Damn it.

All right, TJ, you're going first. Martinsville again produced some of the best racing of the season. Do you think NASCAR will ever ever ever? more short tracks to the schedule schedule i really don't know if they're ever going to um it brett knows more about this than i do see that's not me i'm talking who is who's holding my breads but so um i hope they do because we see the we see what happens when we do run these places uh it's great racing i think if you run more short tracks you get more you're going to get more cars during the break

Kristen was complaining about someone breathing heavily on the microphones so we found who it was we're trying to establish who that was we figured out who it was do you think NASCAR will add more short tracks to the schedule no I don't

ISC and SMI control all these dates they build all these big tracks I'm sorry but I don't I don't see it happening yeah I just I mean maybe maybe these polls will

and you know the fans speaking out can push it that direction eventually. So I don't know. We keep trying. Yeah. We're trying, man. Do you guys say hashtag or pounce? Stop breathing like a psychopath.

Let me move your mic so you can hear me. We need a sponsorship of breathe right strips. We need some tails pale L in here. Stop. Whoever is Darth Vader is a microphone. These fans have learned so much already today. They've learned about bicycling. They learn about cycling.

Bicycling? Yeah, bicycling. All right. Seven playoff races are in the books. Was Martinsville the best playoff race yet, Brett? I got to say, yeah. I mean, I don't think it was the best race from start to finish, but I definitely think in terms of what you take away from that,

you had the two that was going to win, the 24 that was going to win, the 11 that was going to win, the 18 that ultimately did win. Four different guys were going to win in nine laps. That is exciting. Yes, it was the best one yet. We needed a few more. Much exciting. Yeah, I was the, how was it not?

I mean, we had guys that were good in the short run, guys were good in the long run, guys running into each other, guys fighting. Yeah, do funny in each other. That's not a verb. Do funny. How do you spell that? I don't know. I don't know.

You spoke do funny. So. Dude, we'll tweak me all kind of stuff last week about that. that that much. I saw do funny. My 88 pretzel is live. Oh, wow. Congratulations. Thank you. I don't know what that means. It's a pretzel shaped in the 88. They're selling at Texas Motor Speedway this weekend. Oh, tell us about that. It's called the junior 88 pretzel. Do I get one? You want me to bring you one? Yeah. I'll bring them up to the spotter stand. Yeah. Yeah. Tell us about what Texas depreciation while we've got this. Appreciation. Oh, I'm so excited. So on Saturday,

you can buy a ticket to come see all of our drivers, Elliot, Justin, Michael, and William, plus TJ and Brett are going to be doing a Q&A at the Junior Nation Appreciation Party on Saturday. We're doing a Q&A. Yeah, you two are together. And then Elliot, William, Justin. Is that on my schedule? Good Lord. Hopefully Shane will put it on there.

Can we say the F word during this Q&A? You're putting us first. Oh, yeah. You guys are the big draw. People are going to leave when we're done. We should be in. So like the tent, you can go there. You can't start with the main attraction.

There's media, there's giveaways, free stuff. We appreciate you coming. Yes. Appreciateiation. We appreciate you. Can you believe that, though? You're going to put us first. People are going to walk out and drive and be like, man, where everybody go?

I'm so excited. Yeah, so go to Texas Minterspeedway.com and buy your tickets to the Junior Nation Appreciation Party. Get a pretzel. And you get a free ticket to the Xfinity race. You can go into the... Are you going to be there? Fans going to get to meet you? Yeah.

Oh, yeah. Why don't we just all do a Q&A? All four of us. Yeah, why don't? All right. Josh, you in? Sure. Kristen, you should definitely be in, Kristen.

Hello, everyone. I'll do it in a British accent. What the least you cheered up. Are you going to wear one of them one-piece things? Oh. Rompter? Rompter. Yeah, romper.

RCR hired Andy Petrie as a competition advisor last week. Who is the most influential former competitor, a team member currently working with a cup organization. T.J. Majors. Do you think Andy's ever wore a romper? I hope not. Andy's a good dude. Andy is a good dude.

The most influential, I mean, I don't know. I mean, a lot of these teams hire these well-established, you know, guys that have been in the sport for a long time. They hire them to help competition side of things now. And, you know, Brett knows more about this than I do. How do I know more? Well, you know more of them. He started a little earlier than I did. This is a homecoming.

Andy Petrie was a crew chief at RCR. He and Del Earnhardt had some success together. Obviously, there's some potential expansion going on with RPM coming over there. So you may need a guy to facilitate. However, they already have Eric Warren. They already have Mike Dillon. They already have Sammy Johns. At some point, you need guys that make race cars go faster.

Andy's been removed a long time. I'm not sure he's the guy to make that happen. But maybe they need management. Maybe they need something else on the infrastructure and he's the guy. You know, most influential former competitor with a cup organization. I mean, this is more of a marketing play, but our PMR is he already has them. I think Dale Edmund is probably the biggest former competitor name still on Pit Road, as is Leonard Wood with the Wood Brothers.

Now, that's not saying they're not with their current organization. Obviously, they've been with them before. But, man, I'm big fans of those two guys. Yeah, and those guys are there in the morning until night, too. Isn't that how a job works? Well, did you just fart? Josh, you're breathing heavy, you're farting. It's Monday, man.

Oh, my gosh. It's Monday, man. It's playing in the shop. It's like, what are you doing in there? All right. Screw that one. Oh, my gosh. Which playoff contender is most likely to win at Texas in advance to homestead?

True X-Harvick, Hamlin Blaney, Johnson, Elliott, or Kisalowski. Right. Great, Josh. Here's what we know. we know that Kyle Bush is locked in. We also know that Martin Truex is pretty much locked in. He's got a huge point cushion. How many points was it?

67. 67. He could sit out this race and still leave with the point league. And he guessed what he's not going to do. He's not going to sit it out. So he's pretty much locked in. Only two other guys right here have a chance to go. And they're probably going to need to win.

The problem is they're going to have to outrun Martin Truex. and they're going to have to outrun Kyle Larson to do that. So I don't know, Jimmy Johnson's in trouble. You're at Martinsville a place where grab grip, not grip. Grap. Grap. Grap. Damn it, my time's up.

That was scintillating. You know, I got 30 more seconds. It's hard to go against Martin at the mile and a half. Their cars are just so fast there. but also these guys are good at Texas. Everyone on this list right here is really good at Texas. Blaney was really faster in the spring. Danny will be quick.

Jimmy is like the master of Texas. When you said they'll all be quick, you kind of encompass them all. You don't have to individually. Well, I am going to go with, you know, Truex is going to be my top pick to win. But it's hard to go against, you know, Brad will be fast too, I believe. Yeah, I mean, answer the question. I guess True X is the guy that you have to say is going to win.

But I feel like Chase Elliott has had a lot of momentum. You know, Dover, he was really fast, mile and a halfs earlier this year. He was really fast. So if it's not True X, I've got to say Elliot. Yeah. The off-the-wall topic. Halloween is tomorrow. What is the worst costume you've ever seen?

Thank God we told all these people that Jason Schultz. It's Halloween's tomorrow. Jason? Jason. Jason, Jason, get some grab. What is the worst costume you've ever seen? Jason, taking a grab. A pregnant nun.

A pregnant nun? I was a pregnant nun one time. Oh, God. I didn't really intend to be a pregnant nun when I got the nun outfit, but I was so fat I looked pregnant. I was a nun with a goatee and a baby. Gross. T. What do you think nuns do for fun?

Nothing that we do? Nothing? Nothing? We just went in for jokes. It's stupid. I'm such a dad joke. I saw this group of people and they had all made little, there was probably six or eight of them, and they were two by two, and they were all on like roller coaster like then.

They were walking in it, and they were all doing, they were all going aside at the same time. It was pretty entertaining. I don't know about the worst one. I mean, I'm pretty none. That's pretty bad. That's pretty bad. That was me. Yeah.

Well, you are special. Yeah, I'm special. What's the best costume you ever seen? Me? Yeah. I don't. Best. I don't know.

Who are you going to be tomorrow? What are you going to be? Since tomorrow is Halloween, what are you going to be? I don't make these questions up. I'm asking you a question. Nothing. I don't really dress up. Do you suck?

Do you trick or treat? We give out candy. I'm going to be Robin from Batman and Robin. Who's Batman? Pregnant. Bowdy. Robin. I'm not as fat as I watch this.

You're going to be pregnant or why this. He's really tight green pants, though, and they kind of make certain body parts look funny. The middle of your junk. I'm not real sure what to do about that aspect of my costume. Did you just make it do funny? Wear a skirt. Should I get a sock or something? It's awkward for me, so I don't want it to be awkward for everybody.

Kids don't notice that stuff. We do. Adults. I'm going to see adults, too. I wouldn't use too many socks. I don't want to be. I'm not going to be the only adult bear. Oh, God.

Daddy, Brett, you working out? Shows. Explosion. Thank God we have any of those. Hashtag Ask DBC. At J. Steen 2034 asks the coldest race you have ever spotted, which is worse? Heat or cold? Heat for me.

But anyway. Hell no. Cold sucks, because when you get cold, it's hard to come back. When you get cold, you just put on extra layers. When you get hot, you can only take off so many clothes. Oh, my gosh, is that him? That's Bodie. Oh, no, he's a Lego.

Yeah, he's a Lego Batman. It's cute. So last year he made me be a minion, and I like an idiot. A pregnant minion? I don't look pretty in yellow. And this head sock thing that I had to wear, look like it was a condom that I just stretched out to fit big enough to go over my head. It was freaking, I honestly, I felt.

You're ruining minions for me right now. Like that makes you a good dad that you dress like a minion because Bodie wanted you to. I know. This year he wants me to be robin. Did you sock it last year or not? No, dude. Those pants weren't awkward like these green robin pants, you know? What are the girls?

I can't wait for this picture. Jovey is going to be one of those candy corn things. And Keeley's going to be a vampire. Which is their personality. Like literally candy corn, Miss Sweet and Innocent, and Vampire Miss Hellion. It'll be fun. What was the question y'all just talked about? What's worse?

The coldest race you've ever spotted. I hate anything over 90 degrees. Me too. I'm really white. I turn two colors. White or red. I don't do the brown thing well. I hate heat.

I'm out. Yesterday to me, you put on wind pants and a wind jacket. So it's different. If you go stand on the end where I'm at, it's windy. I went to the other end where Joey was in it. There is nothing. Christy a river.

I don't like cold Yourself No, it wasn't like that But it's just cold wind Oh, I love it You're from upstate New York It doesn't mean Just because you're from upstate New York

Doesn't mean you stand in the cold It's all up in his face right now You don't stand in the cold for fun I'm not a damn askimo I do deer hunt and snowsky Love it Snowmobile I died doing that last year

Kristen did you like Daytona sad No I didn't We named the tracks 95 degrees and 98% Pure humidity. Is that a passport? Yeah. Oh, he's Canadian.

Yeah. You want to talk about cold. This guy's from Canada. Hey, I've been to Whistler, Canada. I've been to Toronto. I've been to, uh... Toronto. I went to somewhere else up there.

Windsor? Windsor? Yeah. Toronto. I can't spreek Canadian though, bro. Sprick. I only got English. Eh.

Hey? Hey. I can't do the A really well, though. Hey? Eh. I love Canada. Those people are crazy as hell. They party.

at Veyoida 31 asks How can NASCAR better use young talent like Blaney and Elliot To get interest up these dudes are very very marketable Run short tracks They were pretty exciting last night I don't I don't know I mean it has to be organic

I think they've been trying to market them I think this is why I mean let me just break down what I think Chase Elliott is the legacy guy His dad won the Winston million His dad won Big races. His dad was a champion. So he has a huge fan base just from that.

Dave Blaney was here, but he didn't have that legacy Bill Elliott had. However, his son, Ryan Blaney, has been willing to do anything and everything that NASCAR asked him to do. From a social perspective, digital perspective, he's got his own podcast. Like, he's marketing. He is investing in marketing himself. Everything that he's doing off the track, I think he's doing really well. It's why we talked about it last week. You look at Eric Jones.

he's not really doing anything. And then you look at Ryan Brayney. You know what? And you're like, wow. Honestly, that's the only thing that I can remember Eric Jones doing all year that was kind of, you know, funny was the haircut thing. Relevant off the track. Yeah. Was he cut a thing hair?

Whoopi. When's the last time you cut your hair, Josh? Like two weeks ago. If you cutting your hair, the only things get you news, you're not doing the right things from a marketing perspective out of your race car. Yeah. And you always see, I mean, there. You always see Blaney, Chase, Bubba, all them guys together doing fun things. Doing stupid.

Like when Blaney and them, they road trip from Vegas or whatever to California or whatever and videoed the whole thing, basically. That was funny. I thought that was good. I mean, Bubba did a really fun video about Domino's and playing golf. I think, you know, Elliot Sadler is a guy who gets the marketing aspect of sports. So he's always been a guy that we've had a lot of opportunity to do fun stuff with, whether it was Stack or two when they were here or it was Tyler.

or Bass Pro Shops, like sponsors gravitate to personality. And if you can't market your personality, you probably won't get sponsors in today's world. So I think Blaine is doing it right. And I think Chase Elliott literally just is following the path. You know, he's not going to be that guy doing all these things Blaine's doing. But he's a fun dude. I mean, let's face it, man. When Dell Jr. is not most popular driver, who do you think it's going to be?

I think it's going to be Chase Elliott. His dad won it forever. I think it's going to be Ray Block Jr. No. Scooby Steve. Scoob a Steve. At Junior Money 28 Ask, Temper's Flairing and Rivalries are what our sport needs,

but does it matter what mainstream media perceives of it? That's an interesting question. Hmm. Silence. I mean, man. Man. Let's talk about mainstream media. News media.

All they want to talk about is Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton and Russia. And I'm sick of hearing it. Uh-oh. So on the sports side, And Rocket Man. You know, unfortunately, NASCAR has fallen victim to allowing some aspects of social media and the news media and our sports media to dictate decisions that they're making. There were times yesterday when NASCAR officials were calling out, hey, there's debris on the track and NASCAR didn't throw the yellow. Drivers weren't asking for it.

The NASCAR officials are telling us there's debris on the track and they weren't throwing it. And the reason they didn't throw that yellow is because of the scrutiny they've been under on social media, via the media, via the drivers. They have to run their own sport. We don't need to let the media. Do you think the NFL is out there caring what people put on Twitter about them with a first down call or whatever call? Like, I'm sure they see it and they manage it, but they're not changing their whole policy over it. Like we can't be reactive to Twitter, Facebook, Facebook, MySpace, Facebook, whatever else is out there. And the media, man, the media just want to get clicks.

Click bait. They want somebody to read their stuff, you know? Did you guys see that Dustin Long story about the Amish guy? Mm-hmm. That was a phenomenal read. And now I tweeted about it because my family's Pennsylvania Dutch. That was cool. That guy had a picture of riding in a horse and carriage.

And then TV yesterday did a big thing on it. How cool is that to his mom and dad get to watch that? Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. They don't have TVs. What? They're Amish. Shut up. And he's been excommunicated from the Amish.

They said like for 17 years he didn't have electricity or anything. When you leave the Amish community. I'm kidding. I knew that. God, I hate you. He needs to meet producer Amish, Josh. But I will say this. Like that is an American dream story.

Like here's this dude that snuck out of his house. Listen to races on the radio. Got caught, got in trouble. At 17 years old said, hey, mom and dad, I'm going to join NASCAR. He got on his bicycle road 20 miles and he's out. Like, dude. I mean, he left everything to go chase a dream. That's amazing.

If you haven't read that story, Dustin Long Road. That's a movie quality there. I agree. Let's do a movie on this guy. What was his name? Ruben. We can't go with that. We got to have a better name than Rubin.

Roy Monston. The main character can't be Rubin. Roy Monson. Oh, God, I love Kingpin. He has, like. He had like eight or nine brothers and sisters. Yes, they're Amish. They got to work, man.

What does that mean? What's an Amish that to do with that? You got to have families that don't use birth control. You got to have families that do work at the farm. They'll build a whole house in like a day. Yeah, something like that. You know what I want that guy, though? I would love for him.

I wonder, I would love to be Amish next year for Halloween. Because those guys wear them like perfectly pressed shirts with the trousers and suspenders and those cute hats. Like if you shave Josh's mustache right now. He would look just like an Amish dude. Hence the producer Amish Josh. At Travis C. Under Quarry asks. Josh is the biggest Amish person ever if he was Amish.

Where is the best place to get a first tattoo and should it be the DBC logo? Talk about poor decision making. Yeah. Most bad. Hey, this is your boy, Travis, though. It is. He turned you down. I get my tattoos in Asheville at a place called Hot Stuff Tattoo and Chris Roberts is a phenomenal tattoo artist.

Hot stuff, baby. This is a name. I want to get some hot stuff. Most good stories start with bad decisions, Travis. So you don't know that song? Oh, I do. You sound exactly like whatever name is. I was my falsetto voice.

It's very good. I'm impressed. Where's the best place to get a first tattoo? Do you mean on your body or on a studio? Tramp stamp. I think you should put an M on each ass cheek and bend over to say, mom. You're so stupid. You do a handstand and say, wow.

You're so dumb. It's disgusting. What is this? Who even asked us this question? If you're going to ask your boy, Travis. If you ask a stupid question, you get a stupid answer. I thought it was funny when Steve-O from Jackass got your name tattooed on his ass so he could tell people I have your name. I have your name.

Yeah. My ass. Brett already ranted for 10 months. Oh, it's great. That was a great show. The second one made me puke a few times though. When that dude sweated on that treadmill like eight pounds. of sweat and then he drank it.

I was... You remember that, T.J.? Yeah, it's disgusting, man. Oh, no, no. You stopped the sweat. Like, there was sweat everywhere. And it funneled into this, too. And that dude snorted wasabi.

He snorted a lot of asabi. Could you imagine snorting a wasabi? No, it hurts. My glasses will blow out of my eyeballs. So the sweat ran down across the You're actually going to make her throw up. If she throws up, I'll be I'll kill her. Oh, you got to do funny sweat.

Dude. Like, jackass is awesome. Okay. Okay. Can you just pick a driver to win next? Remember that one where they had that guy that gave me? Stop it. That stuff with gas and they had a funnel to the other guy's mouth or whatever.

She's going to be pissed at you. She just took her headset off everybody. She's not funny. Oh. If she had a baseball bat right now, she would hit you. Me and T.J. are both red from laughing at you. In her eyes or water. Look at him.

When he drank it. Oh, body sweat. Will you just pick your picks for Texas so I can get the hell out of here? You know how salty that will be? I'm going to. Do your dogs like lick y'all when y'all come in from work? You'll notice, TJ. Like, when you get back from cycling, your dogs are going on hill.

Yeah. I mean, yeah. That's not funny. Don't you notice that with your dogs after you work out? They're like, Man, you good. You taste good. All right, you morons, pick. T.J. won again this week with Kevin Harbick.

He's on fire. But Brett is still winning, obviously, 1815. This basically shows that neither one of us really know what's going to happen. No. Just get lucky as hell. I'm going to go with the guy that I think can challenge the guy that T.J. is probably going to pick. I'm going with Mr. Kyle the show Larson. So I think I've already used him.

You have. So that I'm going to go with. Kennington. Oh. Who was a kid in a 51 yesterday? I've never even heard of him. Weatherman. I'm going to go with...

Oh, yeah. Long Duck, Don. Martin. Truax, Jr. That's who I thought he'd pick. I think we got the best team. Did you see Ryan Truax make T-shirts that said Ryan Truaxe and crossed out the junior? That's hilarious.

So I looked at the rundown last for this, or the Spring Texas race, because that was the first time with the new format or layout. Right. And the Lugano's show. be quick. Yeah. Blaney should be quick. Well, here's the thing about Forge,

man. They took back some horsepower from us from early in the season. So we haven't been quite as good as we were a mile and a half as a result. Yeah, I mean, that's going to matter a little bit there.

Yeah. But I think those, I think they'll still be fast. Yeah. I agree. So Harvick will be good. But the thing is, man,
