and you're listening to Dirty Moe Radio. Outside, door, bumper, clear of the 18th, best car I had here in a long time. You're going to do it. You're going to win it. Right with you. You're clear. Check the flag. You're win. Oh, yeah. Hey, everybody. I am T.J. Majors. Spot of the 88 Cup car, the 7xfinity and the 29 truck. It's a fruit cup over here.

Hey, guys, it's KB. It's sitting next to me. I can't see him because he's in camo. Kristen is wearing a pair of brass knuckles on this show. She is. And it has a cross. I'm scared of her right now. I just updated this thing on my phone. I don't even know if I know how to work with my camera.

I have to take a picture of your knuckles. Is that a Harry Potter ring? No, it's just a cross. It's if you get out of line and I'm going to imprint it into your skin. You better get me like a nice little cheap Christmas gift. Okay. I bought you a wand. Do you want some Dale Jr. diecast?

How many of them? Yeah, that wand was legit. I know. We have it on our mantle. See, it's nice. There were a bunch of free gifts at the Texas appreciation tour stop that you guys could have had some goodies, some flags. You guys missed it because you were doing cup practice.

Oh, we were working. Can you turn me up a little bit? What number? Can you turn her up? Turn. She wants to get turt. And then Texas, when you couldn't come to the party, they're like, can they come to Trackside Live?

And I was like, also practicing. I love Trackside Lives. Yeah, they asked you guys to do it, but I had to define before you. He's got that hot Amy Long. I think Blaney might be macking on her. You're out. You had a chance. Yeah, you're done.

You're out. I can't blame her. She's hot. Swinging a miss. All these short guys keep getting all these hot girls. Blaney's not really short. He's shorter than she is, I bet. Well, we can't judge everybody off Kristen.

I mean, I'm a little tall. Yeah. All right, guys, you just got back from Texas. We did. You did. Why are we staticky? Is anybody else here not static? Yeah, I do.

I don't know how to fix it. It's not my-in-the-new iOS update. Watch. You're DMing. I'm pissed off. Brett is complaining about the new Apple iOS update, and I am too, because every time I type an I, it turns into a capital A and a question mark. Yeah, what is the deal with that? It is pissing me off.

It pisses me off, too. And I went to Apple support. I tweeted Apple support, and there are a bunch of more. morons. You'd think for being Apple employee. Well, it's a bot probably. But anyway, it still does it. So if I'm tweeting.

Any time you do a new. And it says a with a question mark, it's, you talk to a computer and got mad. Basically, anytime you do a new update, it's just. I like the new emojis. Some are cool. Yeah, but I'd like to be able to type with that looking like, oh, okay. Well, that's delightful. Oh.

Happy, happy Monday. Hey, I'd like to tell a story this morning. Oh, okay. I got a text from someone that works at Junior Motorsports this morning, and I said, Hey, KB, are you at work yet? And I said, yeah, bud, I'm here. I've been here since seven. He's like, all right, I'm coming to your office.

Comes into my office says, hey, I need your makeup. So I open up my makeup, and he says, no, I'm going to need you to do the makeup for me. It has a massive hickie on his neck, which I had to use my concealer and then blend with bronzer. This only works if you tell us who it is. I can't tell you who it is. Okay, initials will work. Josh, it's your neck. Literally the first time I've ever had someone ask me to...

So tell him to go get him a toothbrush. I was like... And get him some toothpaste and brush the hell out of it. Is that what takes care of it? I was like, what are you 14? Who gets hickies anymore? This gentleman is over the age of 25. Well, at least tell us how old he is.

He's at least older than 28, 27, 208. I said, yeah, I said, you don't even have a girlfriend anymore. You guys broke up like three weeks ago. He's like, yeah. need a girlfriend for a hickie? I was like, oh, yeah. So he's single, so we can easily talk about him.

He's a massive hickie. Should we get him in here and interview him? Thanks to my makeup skills, he no longer looks like he has it. He needs a toothbrush. What about a collared shirt? How does that work? He works in the shop. He's not going to wear a collared shirt.

Josh, I'm not a scientist. I'm just telling you a here. Is that the page in South Carolina way of getting rid of a hickie? Yep. What am I sitting there? Better have another girl really put her mouth back on and blow really hard. Oh, righty then. Okay.

It pushes the blood back in. Yeah. Pushes the blood back. But who is giving anyone Hickees anymore? That's not like grow up. It's not a thing. I wonder if it ended. What's wrong with Hickees?

You think it ended there? No, I don't know. Knowing this guy. If it had been a non-visible spot, would it have been submissible. It's right here. Oh, you mean like, oh, sure. What if it had been on his rib cage? Will you've been okay with it?

Yeah. Sure. But I don't want to see. Stern. You know, the thing about physical. Fisible Hickey just screams redneck trash. Yep. I'm sorry.

I'm from page-lin and I'm telling you that. I can't wait to tell you who it is after the podcast. The girl or the guy? The guy, I don't know who the girl is. Is it the guy who holds up the airplanes? Bubbles. Bubbles. Giggles.

Giggles. Go ahead. Giggles. Go to you, Hockey. He's a nice kid. He's funny. He always makes me laugh. Tyler.

Holly is not giving Tyler a hecky. Who is it? What's a car? Come to your, Spotter. Give us a car number. Just give us a car number. Coming to you,

Spotter. It's giggles. I called it from the... How about... There's 200 people in here and I call who had a hickie. Because... That kid is never coming back to Kristen for anything.

Chris has just dined him out. Listen, my guys know that I will help take care of mistakes that they're having a gig. How about I called who it was? He's so funny. Like, yeah, we're just... just Netflix. Can we just have them come in here?

Like, let's talk to him about this. God, I'm going to give him a hard time on the radio Friday. Why don't we just get him in here and talk to him about it? He makes me laugh. So hard. Do not say that to him. Why? We're saying it now.

It's about to go live. Is he out to the millions of podcasts? Let's get him in here. No. Let's get him in here. He's like, I would have died. We would like to talk to you about something. He's so funny.

Are you working on a muffler? I am very flattered, though, that they come to me for these situations. Yeah. His skin's also a little darker than mine, so I was like, you know, this isn't going to, like, my concealer is just going to make this worse. But I buffed it in there with some bronzer. So, guys, he needs a toothbrush and some toothpaste. Yeah, let's see if I can see him from this window right now. He makes me laugh just by laughing.

I've had to have makeup before for black eyes, but never hickeys. Black eyes. Because you're the one giving the hickeys, right? Hala. All right. All right. All right. All right.

So. What happened in Texas? Well, maybe Giggles should tell us. Yeah. That was probably in Moreswell. Probably was. Maybe. Morseville has a lot of really dirty people.

And I don't mean dirty as in like they don't take baths. I mean like dirty isn't. Like sexual. Just this is like a, I mean. What you mean? Like whips and chains? I mean, Dale Jr. called it dirty Morseville. He has dirty Mo posse.

He has dirty Moe media. Like it literally is just a dirty town. Dirty Myrtle, you know? Like it's a hurdle. It's just dirty. Dirty, dirty. What makes a town dirty, KB? I don't know.

I mean, I'm kind of trying to figure this out. What makes it the dirty mo? I don't know. Dirty moe means a dirty moorsal. I didn't get no description of it. For example, Kristen refuses to go to the Walmart and Morse. She will not go. You ever been there like two in the morning?

No. Awesome. I also like some of the bars around here gross me out. Why is that? Sidelines? Scores. Big owls? I don't mind big owls.

I love. What about scores? No. Have you been to scores? No. I can't go in anywhere you can smoke. You can't even go into scores? Have you never been in a scores?

I've never been in scores. Me neither. It's a shoe show. We're going to have to do the mobile podcast. You know what, guys? I have never been there either. All four of us. I really haven't.

I find that hard to believe that you've never been in there. I've been to the uptown cabaret at time. Well, that's just lunch with a view. We can all go catch lung cancer of scores after work and see the shoe show. You know what, though? They do have downtown that shoe show. They have a really good primary buffet for lunch for like $14.95. In the building?

They've got a really good breakfast buffet as well. So do you mean... 3 a.m. in the morning. Are you talking like get your plate of food, sit down and watch the show? Yeah. You get an entire plate of bacon down there. Like 2 a.m. at Masters downtown, they bring out like Waffle House, man. It's bacon eggs, cheese, hash brown.

Freddie Kraft had a bachelor party there last year. They fed us, man. That was awesome. It was like that. We all spent about two grand apiece and we got free bacon. There was a place just like that in Montreal. Oh, God. Interesting.

Montreal. Good times. Well, this podcast is officially gone downhill. Yeah. Thanks to T.J. Majors for purchasing Chick-fil-A breakfast this morning. Yes, I did buy Chick-fil-A. What the hell was that? It was a deflating balloon.

Oh, it sounded like a dragster. I keep looking for a giggle. Are you finally thanked? Would you stop screwing with that? Transferring. Can we talk about taxes for God's? It was really windy. We genuinely apologize to the eight people who were going to come watch TJ and I do the Q&A.

It was 200. But there was actually a lot of people there. Texas. So what's happened lately is these tracks send us schedules, and KB can understand what we're stressing here is we can't plan anything without a schedule. And for some reason, NASCAR thinks it's top secret to hold these schedules until a month prior to the race. Well, when we're actually trying to plan stuff for sponsors, we need schedules earlier. So we get with the tracks, the tracks send us the schedules. And then lately, NASCAR's been going in and fine-tuning them and changing them.

And with this particular schedule, they changed it. None of us even really looked at it. No, they didn't know. I had no idea the schedule was changed. I looked at it and I go, Shana, hey, they've moved our cup practice around. TJ and I can't make it. So we apologize for not making it. That's all right.

Yeah. We had some DBC fans there. Yeah. Kristen and I got a picture with him. They were sad that you weren't showing up. He was the first one there, him and his mom. Wow. That's cool.

Shout out to him. They were very nice. Nice. That's cool. He went up to his mom and he's like, I told you, I think it's KB and Josh. And we're like literally setting up like signs. So when you said he went up to his mom, how old is this guy? He's 18, 19, maybe.

Yeah, somewhere there. Yeah. Just look for the jolly green giant Josh. His mom said that as soon as they saw that come out that all the drivers and Brett and T. T.J. were going to do an appearance that he made his mom by them that second. That's awesome. And then he was devastated because Brett and T. Yeah, man, I'm sorry.

I get devastated if I don't get to see Brent and TJ too. That wasn't our plan. Yeah, we were a schedule change. We were looking, I was going to crowd serve, probably. I hope he was strong. Hope his mom's got some good arms. I will say when I was there for Williams' appearance, they brought in the Texas Motor Speedway girls. They are smoking.

The no limit. No limits. I may have seen them. I wonder where they recruited those girls from. I don't know that Morsville. They're not from dirty mow. No, they're not from Morrisville. I don't know, man.

My boy hats and tight leather tops. Montreal. I wonder if it's leather or pleather. I don't care. Yeah, I'm wondering who cares. Texas are probably leather. They don't care about like, who cares? Peta.

What do you think this couch is made out of? Leather. Yeah. It's comfy. Not pleather. Not pleather. Doesn't pleather like squeak? All right, we're going into Texas.

Let's do something about this. So we had a race this weekend. There was a race in Texas. Harvick wins. We got another free blue and onion. Another first time mile and a half winter that blows the quarter panels off a car. Another one.

Can you believe all the first time winners we've had this year? Another one. It's exciting. How much more, how many more times do we have to mention on this show that they need to start saying, do not destroy your car after the race? I think the good news for Homestead is these teams have to, to submit their cars prior to even leaving Charlotte to the R&D Center to have them approved to get on the track, the championship four, right? But what fans need to realize is these cars move, these bodies twist, things happen during the race.

So when you're the champion, here's the reality of this thing, T.J. It's too late this year. When you're crowned the champion at Homestead, I would burn my car to the damn ground. I would go beyond blowing the quarter panels out of it. Talking like donut. Oh, hit the wall. Why wouldn't you at this point? I mean, here's the reality, man.

You're in a championship hunt in Xfinity series. I'm in the championship hunting Xfinity series. Unfortunately, we're both not in the Cup series. But if you're the driver, why wouldn't you burn it down? Don't take the chance. I'd burn it down. Don't take a chance. You don't want a cucumber finish.

No. Don't take the chance. So, yeah. I don't know. It's too late. set the rule now i get about a foot and a half in the wall go ahead get a little run nose into the wall burn out some more burn up till i hear it pop in the back back up you know get out p p p p b b b t q p p b b b t q p b bc p b b t q p it's too late it's too late right i mean

at this point it's too late yeah i agree that it's too late this year maybe after this year start saying you know you know altering the car it's not your first win Like, you know, that kid in the truck at Martinsville? I'd have been, I don't even, he was so happy he won. That was true raw emotion. He threw up. Did y'all see he threw up? Yeah, I saw him.

Noah Gragson won the race and went and there's a picture of him. There's a picture of him vomiting. Yes, but Kyle was rubbing his back, so it's okay. Oh, my God. But that's raw emotion. If I'm throwing up, don't touch me. I'm going to tell you right now. I mean, I don't want nobody touch me if I'm puking.

How many cup wins is hard. Hold your hair back. How many cup wins? Probably 40. I mean, ish. I mean, you know how hard that is to accomplish and what kind of feat that is? I mean, he's no rookie to victory lane. I just think, I mean, I hear you, but I think we're too far gone for this year.

Oh, it should have been done way before this. I don't think it's something. I mean, you can't set up a rule, you know, two weeks left in the season. I mean, you can. Well, they do. I know, but. I'm not really worried about Phoenix as much either because that's a big short track. Yeah.

But when we get to Homestead, that stuff needs to be right. Yeah. Anyway, what else we got? Anyway. Anyway, we're going into the spot-on, spot-off. Why? We haven't even talked about. Oh, God. We haven't talked about. We're going to talk about Texas in spot-on, spot-off.

Great pass by Harvick though to the race. That's the first one on spot-on, spot-off, you idiot. My bad. Let's go to spot-on, spot-off. Oh, God. This show. Sorry. What an idiot.

T.J. Spot-on, spot-off. Kevin Harvick wins after passing Truex late. spot on for the pass spot off for the burnout who that guy is that giggles that's Dustin Lee oh that's not giggles

that is our videographer does he need makeup he does all the jrm 360s perhaps if he would follow giggles around we would have some really good video Dustin fun fact about him he has he has worked on like one tree hill and like all these cool movies

and shows over look at him right right is that a hickey he's super talented I like Dustin Yay, Dustin. Hey, we have a reality show idea. We'll run by you later.

Yeah. He's coming back. We'll do it off property so we don't have to pay royalties to 30 mows. Oh, man. Brett, spot on, spot off. Kevin passing trucks. Spot on for what was a pretty boring race. You know, like we're going entirely too fast for Kevin to run him down.

And the only thing that really made this race exciting for. for me was lap cars because Truex has a huge lead. He doesn't manage these lap cars well at all. And Kevin, when Truex catches lap cars, man, holy cow, here comes Kevin. And he kept mowing him down. And then when he got to him in one, he got him really loose. And he got him so loose, they both got way out of the throttle. And it almost looked like it scared Martin.

And Kevin just drove around his outside. So spot on for a pass for the lead. spot on for NASCAR not throwing the yellow, despite the fact that the Pace card driver unsolicited called in a piece of debris in the groove in turn one with about 10 laps to go, which would have set us up. I had my hand on a button for a restart. So last year at Homestead, Carl Edwards has it won.

We have a debris caution in which I don't know where the debris was or what happened there. But in this situation, Brett Bowdine. It was shiny in the parking lot and it wasn't moving. Brett Bowdine. Redbow 9. The guy that drives a pace car says, Tower, there's something in the groove in turn 1,

and it's not moving. And we just kept going. And that created a pass for the lead under Green, which made Kevin Harvick punch his ticket. And now he's three of the final four. Earned it. Earned it. Can I add a spot off real quick?

I know what you're going to do. Scooby Steve. No. Oh, my bad. Night racing in Texas for the Xfinity Series. Spot off. Why? Dude, it was terrible.

Long, long-ass day. Terrible. Okay. It's a terrible race. You know, the reality, I mean, we talked about it here. It was boring. The faster you go through the center of the corner, the harder it is to pass. And those trucks on Friday night were wide open in three and four, barely out of the gas, I wanted to.

Same for the Xfinity series. It was a plate race. It's a fight race. It's a fall of the leader parade. And for us not to have that, these guys have to, you know, slow down to make the corner. And when you have that much grip, that's not going to have. I will say that. The truck race was kind of entertaining to me.

We had a couple passes on the outside and the one like solder pad. That was pretty interesting. It was like a plate race. So when you come off the corner, you hug the bottom in the dog leg track. That's weird. Yeah, very weird. Spot on, spot off. Johnson finishes 27th, three laps down.

Brett. Man, they're struggling. You know, they struggle to get on the racetrack on Friday with what appear to be a mechanical issue. I think it was fuel-related. And then, you know, they qualified decent. and from the time they dropped a green flag, the two, the 18 and the 48 immediately were dropping. You know, two and 18 obviously made contact and had an issue, but Jimmy was just flat out slow all day. And that's certainly not typical for him and the 48 team.

I mean, these guys are a dynasty within themselves even. And to see them struggle like they're struggling super shocked. I mean, he obviously has to win Phoenix to even have a chance at number eight. Which he could do. They don't have the speed, man. They just, the only car this fast right now at Hendrick Motorsports is the 24. The other three are just not. They don't have that dominant speed.

I was, Jimmy was one of my people that I contemplated on picking Texas to win Texas. He usually runs really well there. He finds his way to the front, and they were just off. They had a bad day. He's got a lot of cowboy hats. He has a lot of cowboy hats, and he's really good there. I was surprised Kevin had never won a cup race there. I didn't know that.

I didn't know. I wrote Tim Fiedel gave me a ride home last night, the winning spotter, former Bush Series standout. Remember he had that haircut sponsor and he drove that purple car? Hot Tamales. Yeah, he had cool hair too. Tim the body.

Timmy gave me a ride home and he said, man, Kevin, I never won there. That made that even more special. And I was, oh, that's cool. Spot on, spot off. Matt Kansas stepping away after 2017, TJ. I'm spot off because Matt's a highly talented. driver. And he is probably, you know, I hate to see someone so talented as him not have a ride.

You know, and it kind of sucks to see someone like Matt who's still fast and really good. But spot on to someone else getting a chance. You know, a younger guy moot coming in, maybe create some more fans, maybe some, you know, hopefully the Matt Kenseth fans. can pick someone similar to Matt and continue to support him. Yeah, I'm a T.J. Wholeheartedly on that spot off because Matt can still get the job done. I realize he's 45 years old.

But here's a guy that doesn't want to be done. And it's like we've talked about on the show before, the sport usually quits you before you get a chance to quit it. And that literally, based upon his quotes, is what seems to be happening. You know, based on things that we heard during the summer, I think he was in serious consideration to be at Hendrick Motorsports and to do a one-year deal to literally be a placeholder for William Byron. And then William Byron sets the world on fire, wins four races in the Xfinity Series.

And Rick Hendrick goes, hey, the kid's ready now. We just got to figure out how to make it work. And I think when they made that work, that really limited Matt's opportunity. You know, what I think is probably a little funnier about it, though, is Matt apparently made a comment over the radio at Martinsville when Eric Jones wrecked for a third week in a row and said, I can't believe that's the kid they've hired to replace me. So, you know, I watched Matt race extremely hard yesterday and be competitive.

And he's going, he can obviously go out with his head hell high. Here's a guy this won multiple Daytona 500s. He's won a championship at Raus. 38 races, something like that? All their years of existence only have two championships. So despite their success, he's one of two champions to be there. So a big name that once again, man, we're in this three to four year window and all these big names are packing their bags and walking out the door, that's the hardest part for me to swallow.

Just like Wadale Jr., you know, I was here when they got here. So it's hard to see him. It's hard to read 18-year career and they're walking away. I'm like, God, I've been here for all of them. Sometimes change is good, though. Yeah. So, you know, hopefully Matt's probably going to race. I think Matt's probably going to have race some more because he didn't say he was retiring,

just said he was stepping away. Well, I think he's not saying retiring because he doesn't want to. to do it. You know, Dale Jr. wants this chapter of his life to close. Matt wants to keep racing. Matt wants to keep racing and unfortunately that opportunity doesn't seem to be there. Brendan gone and Ross Chastain called to the holler after a fight following the Xfinity race. I wasn't there. I was there. Kristen says she witnessed and stuff. I was walking past them when, so they parked the cars so close to each other at the entrance of the Xfinity garage. And so you couldn't get through. We couldn't even get our generators through. And you have Brendan gone basically up

over one of the cars screaming, F you mother, F, F, or F, F. Like, at Ross, and Ross is just walking straight through the garage. It was great. It sounded like a chick fight, though. So let me tell you what happened after that. Were there any punches through? Oh, yeah. I don't think Brendan could get around.

Like, he, I think he went after him in a golf cart or something. You didn't see it all. Uh-uh. That's all I saw was that because I had to get back to our haulers. Okay, so this is the same Ross Chastain. Watermelon King of the South. that punched Jeremy Clements. Oh, that was great.

Josh was there for that. So what you saw started it. Now, what ends up happening is they finally get close enough to each other, and Brendan proceeds to tackle him. Oh, amazing. And throw multiple haymakers, none of which apparently landed based upon the photograph that I saw. So, and then Brendan's all freaked out.

Oh, man, I hope nobody saw that. You dumb ass, yes, somebody saw it. He's retiring. What does he care? be coming off the top rope throwing haymakers. People are going to see you, bud. What an idiot. I do not condone violence, but the

yelling is funny. Here's the thing, man. Like, this is part of sports. You know, every sport has corals. Every sport has fights. I mean, I saw. Quarles? Quarle.

Corals. Like, corals. Like, coral down in the water. I thought we were scuba steve in this stuff. Corals with a cuba steve. Q-U-A-R-E-L-L-S. Oh, okay. Yes, I can spell.

I apologize my southern accent. Corals. I apologize, my southern accent can't say the word correctly. But we saw A.J. Green yesterday in a football field just taking, put the guy in a chokehold and slamming backwards. I mean, I'm sorry, people, but we pour our hearts and souls into this. People are going to fight. Don't judge. You go to hockey games to watch fights.

So I'm sorry, but if you get in a fight, don't be all on. I mean, you get in a fight. Yeah, you did. If you threw a punch, you meant to be in a fight. This happens at short tracks a lot throughout the year. You just don't hear about it. Now, I'm fine with two guys confronting each other, but, you know, when they start using cars and stuff, that's, I've seen a lot of videos. That's ridiculous.

But, you know, two guys are mad at each other, and one guy proceeded to be madder than the other. Are they going to get suspended? No. Green and Ramsey. They shouldn't be suspended. Oh, those two might. No, Green and Ramsey. All those other, yeah.

The football players might. They were ejected, right? I bet Green's suspended. Uh, maybe. Derry and Grubb. name crew chief for William Byron in 2018. I was surprised by this. I'm not going to lie.

I was really surprised by this. Darian is the now if he's active, the third winning his crew chief in the sport, which speaks to how accomplished he is. He won a championship with Tony Stewart and then was forced out of Stuart Haas Racing. After winning a championship, went back to Hendrick, which is where he came from. Obviously, a very smart guy. The five car has run eight spots better. It's run a little better.

They just got shot in the arm. I mean, Casey was fairly quick yesterday. He's been fast. It's run better with with Dary and his crew chief. But I was really surprised, and I think this opens the door for a plan that's probably coming that none of us really know about yet because there's a couple guys at Junior Motorsports

that are ready to beat cup crew chiefs and to not move those guys up to fill this slot. kind of makes me go, hmm. Interesting for sure. There's a lot of dominoes following different directions. That was,

you know, T-MAC wants the crew chief now, so he's leaving, you know, to go try a crew chief role. He's skipping the Xenia series. He's going to cup racing, so. Yeah. With a team that's going to be,

you know, have a great driver in Casey Kane. He's going to the 95 car, but not a lot of resources. Leaning on a technical alliance with Childress, who, let's face it, is struggling.

They're still making a lot of, of personnel changes. Everybody's realigning earlier this year the normal, it seems like. All right, right before we go into a break, we just wanted to have a moment of silence for those that were killed and injured down in Texas this past weekend.

Fast Lane. Rebottle. Let's go. Hey, next year, TJ and I need to do multiple reads. Now the static's gone from static to a bass guitar. It like zapped my brain. Because, you know, when I re-listen to our shows,

T.J. and I have to read faster. It sounds like we're talking. Speaking of shows, I met Datto as I was walking out right before saw Brendan Gond's screaming at Ross Chastain, and he introduced himself to me. He's super normal. Like, I don't know what I was expecting, but he came up and shook my hand and said, hey, KB, I'm Dato, nice to meet you. And he's like, normal, like. He's a successful business guy. Yeah. He's a redneck. I just didn't expect it. He's also a lot taller than I thought. He's a very passionate race fan. He's a pretty big dude. I think he has a gym. Yeah. Yeah. He's a cool dude. It was nice to meet him. Yeah, I wouldn't want to piss him off.

Or Brendan. Who wins in a foot race, Brett or Brendan? That's not even close. I'm just kidding. I can run backwards and beat back. Who wins in a handmaker contest? I know who wins that one too. I got me in that one too. Fast lane. Brett, you're going first.

You ready? I'm ready. Spinning-lapped cars brought out four of eight cautions on Sunday. Regan Smith suggested parking cars once they are five laps down. Would you like to see this happen? You know, some short tracks, they have a three spin in your out roll. And, you know, yesterday I think it was probably one of the things, one of the factors that was keeping the race exciting. Because without Scoob, Steve, wrecking every time he went through, turn one and two, 40 miles an

hour off the pace, we perhaps would have had a little more, uh, less excitement. So I think it's fine, you know, if I don't know, whatever, who cares? Yeah, that, that car, the 51 car, single-handedly, um, it kept the race interesting. All the snapschats I was getting yesterday from Josh were just photos of scuba Steve spinning. Yeah, that's all that really happened. Like, hey, it's like a Saturday. Lannon, you racked Landon once. Yeah. I didn't wreck anybody. I didn't wreck anybody.

It was a calculated risk that was miscalculated there. The track is so wide in a turn one. He literally wrecked into one and never hit anything. How the hell does that happen? Well, it's because we hit him in the trial level because he... I know, but still. It's like we were coming running a 190 and he was running 170 and then it's... That's crazy he didn't hit nothing, though.

Sent him. It's like he was drifting. He did slide forever. Yeah. He tweeted after the race, I think. Thanks for making the track wider. So in a competitive race, it gets on my nerves when non-competitive cars consistently wrecked. But this wasn't one of those competitive races.

You know, this was a ride-around race. So I think those cautions helped it for the fans. And I don't think that's always the case. But in this particular race, I felt like it was. Now, however, I'm going to say this, the 78. girl on Saturday. Angela Ruch. Angela Ruck.

Angela. Cope. Let me tell you. Angela. Get off. Why are you doing this to yourself, honey? Like, there has got to be something else you can do with your time. How do you really feel?

I'm telling you how I feel. But Kansas, she was in the pit stall next to the one. She wrecked twice. She was in the way during two of our pit stops. She wrecked twice again. and she's so far off the pace, it's dangerous. I walked down to the official, and I said, Mike Harmon.

Who'd take her? Mike Harmon. He'd lap her. I said, will you please call the tower and inform them that we have playoff implications on the line, and she's not at minimum speed. Can you please consider black flagging her? Oh, by the way, she's just wrecked to even running that slow. It's just, there has to be something better you can do with your time.

Hey, by the way, I think it's the cord to the dinger that's, um, making static, so no more dinger in the show. I think it's your DM box going off over there. Yeah. The Xfinity series will use the Indy Arrow package at Pocono, Michigan, and Indy in 2018. Do you think they should try the package at mile and a half tracks to improve racing, TJ? I'm all for, I still think, uh, I will do it like that. I still think the, uh, the mile and a halfs aren't as good of a race as I think they still could be for the Xfinity cars. I think they could be better still. I don't know. I'm willing to give it a try. That's so lame.

It's the lowest dinger we've ever had. Is that better? Man, it just comes down to tires. You know, it comes down to making a tire that will not allow these crazy fast speeds to be sustained over the entire course of a 60 lap run. If the tire wears out, the times are going to fall off. The drivers need to be using brake in order to make

these cars turn. And if we're running wide open, it's a slot car race. That's what the truck race was at Texas. I'm not a fan of that. I'm not a fan of this question. I'm not a fan of this idea. You know, just make the car slow down to make the corner. I think there could be a good combination of arrow and tires that could work out good.

Dang. Hey, so Adam Stern just tweeted that with Las Vegas Motor Speedway having a second race next year, they are making upgrades, which includes Social and digitally wired areas for all ticketed fans because it's important for all of these properties to come online. I agree. Finally. I agree.

Good work, Kevin Camper. Nice work. Thanks for listening. J.R.M. Cars currently hold three of the championship four spots heading to Phoenix this weekend. Which four drivers will make the Xfinity Series Final Four? The pointer listed there for your reference. Let's say this instead because this question is whatever. So, T.J. Here's the reality.

You're fast. I'm fast. William Byron is fast. If the three of us have a typical race weekend, the three of us are going to advance into this championship. Who is the one guy that you don't want to have to race in this championship outside of our organization? Coalcaster. You know, outside of the organization, the one car that I don't want to probably race, for some reason, the car that has a lot of speed and could potentially be a factor, in my opinion, is the 48.

I don't want to race him. Yeah. I don't want to race him because I think his mentality in this playoff has been amazing. He's raced extremely smart. He's raced out of character for himself. He's raced. I stand beside his spotter Tyler Green a lot, and I'm like, hey, man, tell the student not to be an idiot right here.

He's been smart, so that scares me. That if he makes it to Miami, he's going to be like, oh, I'm in Miami. Watch this. And he's been. And he's going to come strong. He scares me. The bowl. But probably the speed guy that scares me is cold custer.

The double zero. Because, man, they found something in the past few weeks. Driver-wise, Daniel Hemrick would scare me the most. But I don't think he's in contention at this point. Speed and driver-wise is cold custer. But driver mentality-wise, the guy I'd really like to see in it. And you're going to think I'm crazy. I would rather race Matt Tift over any of them.

because I know he's in a fast car. He's so clean. Yeah. In my opinion, he's such a good. He's a very safe driver. Yeah. He's in a very fast car. He's in the fastest car maybe out of all eight of us,

but he's the guy that I would say, we got you. Anyway. One spot in the Cup Series Championship four remains. Who will claim it at Phoenix? TJ. You know, I've got to say that I think Brad's, let's see, so we have Martin Kevin

Toyota Ford Kyle Toyota okay so Kyle and Martin are locked in as is Harvick and Harvick is

so we've got one spot and right now Brad has a little cushion over the 11 it's going to be Brad is a very smart and calculated driver with no trouble

Brad's in without getting wrecked Brad's in without getting wrecked or um heaven a so we gotta pause the show for a second Josh

Josh give him your headset yeah so we have a question for you yeah have you ever looked at this wait hold on you ever looked at this sign on the wall if anyone hasn't heard on the radio this is this is what Brett hears every practice can you say

coming to you spotter yeah yeah coming to you spotter so what color is that sign orange can you move your hand we're trying to see you oh I see it Oh, come on. This is why you brought me in here? No, we just wanted you to do the impression.

So here's what happened to. KB sits down and KB tells this story on this podcast about an employee here. Now, there's 200 employees in this shop, bro. There's 200 employees here. She tells this story. No name. I give no name. About a guy that walks in who comes to work with a hickie and I said, hey, it's bubbles.

It's like, I mean giggles. It's giggles. And she looks at me and she's like, holy cow, I guess it right. Right. How did you know? I don't know. It's my voice, isn't it? Yeah. I was like, it's, it's hard tempting this voice. I mean, heard on the radio all the time. So, dude, how do you get a hicky? Yeah. Well, what were you doing when she was doing?

Younger women, that's what happens. What were you thinking when she was down there? I was like, hey, I was like, hey, you need to calm that down. Because I can't be having this. And then, I wake up this morning. T.J. guys, why wasn't he wearing a colored shirt? I'm like, what?

I didn't even notice it until someone in the shop said something to me. They were like, hey, you need to cover that thing up. And I was like, oh, God. So I'm walking around and holding my neck the whole time. Wait until I get to work. texting Kristen, hey, I know you got some makeup. That's awesome. You need to go get a turtleneck of belt right out of the street.

Is that the only one? That's the only one. It's visible. Did she stop there? Oh, I'm not commenting anymore. My stomach hurts. Well, we just wanted to give you a quick interview and congratulate you on your accomplishment. Oh, thank you.

Yeah. Come to a weekend. Yeah. So what age group we're talking about here? Early 20s. Jeez. Damn. How old are you?

29. Nice. Perfect. I almost got his age. I said 28. Yeah. Was it in Moresville? Yeah.

I told you the girls here. Sidelines. I told you they're dirty. Scores. Iron Thunder Girl. God, that's a redneck place. Second, we do have one other questions. Have you ever been to scores?

Yes. Who hasn't? No one in this room. You guys haven't been to scores? No, I don't like secondhand smoke. It's not the only thing. second hand you get now. Get the hell out of here.

Where you get us fired. Thanks for coming on. We might have to add him again sometime. Next time you have a problem. Just come on the show first. You guys love to see you, brother. So we can't get Alan in here, but we say one word to get Jeffrey in and he's like your 15 seconds later. My stomach hurts.

He's so funny. Oh my gosh, man. Oh, man. I think I'm sweating. He's owning it. Like, I get credit. I'm glad for him. That's not the only thing secondhand.

That was great. You'll get it scores. Used pair of shoes. We're going to hell. The show is going. Oh, God. It's hot. Only two more weekends.

We're going to lights off, Jobs. I'm dying. Okay. What are you doing the weekend after Homestead? You want to go scores? We'll go pick up. I'll go. I'll bring you, I'll bring you an oxygen mask.

You can wear it. What's the first day that y'all are closed for the holidays? We'll go that night before. Yeah. We'll just all throw a big party. 24th. Oh, gosh. One spot in the Cup Series championship for remains.

My stomach hurts. Who will claim it at Phoenix? Brett, you didn't answer. Oh, it's my turn. Yeah, it's your turn. Yeah. If points come into play, it's going to be Keselowski. If having to win the race comes into play, I got to go with Denny Hamlin.

I mean, I think that there are very few guys in this garage that can turn it up a notch. Like, they're all racing as hard as they can race. But there's a few guys that when it's all on the line, it seems like they can turn it up a notch. And I think if anybody can turn it up a little bit, it's going to be Hamill. We know how fast Toyotas are, and it's all hands on deck. So I think it's down between them too, but, man, you've got to think planet safe points probably is going to be the thing. Because you still got to outrun those other three guys that are so damn fast, the 18, the 4, and the 78. You know, I mean, Harvick was Mr. Phoenix until this year.

Last, last two or three times we've been there, you know, he struggled. But before that, he won like 27 in a row or something. You know, it throws a huge kink in this plan is if the 21, the 24, or the 48 come out of there with a trophy. Right. Come swinging. That could be big. Yeah. They got to.

Yep. The off-the-wall topic. Now that it's November, the debate. I think we had the off-the-wall topic already. God. He's hilarious. That was funny. Now that it's November, the debate on Christmas music begins.

How early before the 25th of December should Christmas music begin playing? Now. Yeah, you have your tree up, don't you? Silent night. That's way early. Holy night. I'm a Thanksgiving. As soon as Thanksgiving is over, Christmas starts.

As soon as, yeah, as soon as Thanksgiving or no, as soon as Halloween's over, Danny Jr. has Christmas music playing in the shop because I can hear it up in the office. Yeah, he loves it. You need that. He has his tree up already, too. You should. You need to enjoy this. season tis reason for season tis reason it's 75 degrees out today it is hot i'll give me that's a good

point that might be the best point you've ever made on this show saying it is all right we're going into hashtag ask dbc remember you can always send us your questions during the week or the weekend at any point in half tuesday on twitter tbby keith please gentlemen you're such a redneck this is this is oh my god See, it's never too early for that. Look how I made y'all smile. T.J. is not smiling. Don't know to no more.

I was just thinking about all the kids that used to rearrange Frosty's decorations. What are you? You're talking about the carrot? This is such a non-racing show today. Oh, my. At J.G. Laughton Ask, is there something? Is there something specific Stuart Hauss has gained on the Twitter? I was talking about the rocks.

Is there something's good. Okay, I got to read this again. Is there something specific to our highest gain on the O's? Speed, man. Yeah, just turning the corners and carrying speed doing it. When you look at Ford's in general, the two fastest week in and week out are kind of that two car and the four car. And those are the guys that are up there. Tending Blaney's had a lot of speed.

You know, like with the 14, we can come really strong and be really fast one. week and the next week we miss it. Like this week we were a 10th of 12 place car before we had the gear burn up. I mean, I think with Stuart Haas, it's just a matter of you. I made a manufacturer change and it's taken some time to really adapt and be able to find, you know, what that speed means. But we're finding it as an organization for sure at the right time. Kurt Busch on the pole. Kevin Harvick wins the race. Stuart Haas showing a lot of speed this weekend. And here's the thing about Texas, man. That's the last mile and a half before the championship mile and a half. Two completely different racetracks, but a big confidence boost.

Yeah. Rodney and Kevin always seem to, when they're pushed to into a corner, they seem to always find success. So. Yeah, Rodney's a smart dude. He is. At E. Clessstone 15S. How does your job as a spotter change when there is an interim crew chief?

Acklestone. Bernie? Is this guy run F1? F1 guy here? Come on. You know, it really doesn't change the way we do our job. It just changed the way. It changes the way the communication flows because, you know, we put a guy Boswell in place this weekend,

who was a longtime junior motorsports guy and certainly a very smart dude, but he's having to work through a process to make a call during the race that he's not necessarily used to. So it just slows everything down from the communication of what's going on on the pit box to the driver, back to the pit box, back to engineering. There's a lot going on that people don't realize. I mean, even people back at the shop have the ability to have it. influence on the calls that are made during these races. So when you put an interim crew chief in place, it just takes a little bit more time to make those decisions. And sometimes it'll bite you in the ass.

Yeah, I agree. We dealt with it last year at Homestead. Yes, we did. Kevin was suspended, and the guy that took Kevin's place was certainly capable of crew chiefing and doing a good job, but it slowed everything down and it just wasn't the same. I mean, it's just like if you're a quarterback and you get a new center, it's going to change the way you get the ball, you know? You good, T.J.

Ready. At Tux won us. Wouldn't it be better racing if they take the banking out of the turns on mile and a half tracks? No. Have you seen New Hampshire? Have you seen Milwaukee? No, our cars require banking to help them turn. You know, these aren't indie cars with a lot of turn and even more downforce than we have.

I understand what you're shooting for here, but, man, what do you think, T.J. I think the cars that are fast in a mile and a half are still going to be fast. No matter of banking or not, they're going to be fast. Yeah, fast cars go fast. Yep. At Hornick, J.S. How are the bodies for 2018 going to change the racing next year? I mean, the only body I know about coming out next year is the Chevy knows, right?

Yeah, that's a big deal. It looks just like the Toyota knows. I think a year after that's the Ford. I'm not real sure. I don't really know. I think they're up for then. I'm not sure, but it's going to be different. I think I've seen the Chevy car look.

phenomenal. It looks great. Yeah. Yeah. You know, I think that's going to matter. They could be strong next year. Yeah, I think it's a big help for Chevy. I mean, we're looking at realistically a championship that's not going to have a Chevrolet in it. And I don't know the last time we've had that conversation where Chevrolet wasn't in a position to win a championship. But unless Chase Elliott or Jimmy Johnson pulled off a miracle at Phoenix, you're looking at a Toyota versus Ford, you know, lineup in Miami.

So Chevrolet obviously realizes they're behind the ball. They're doing more in the Xfinity series with teams like Junior Motorsports and spending more time there on wind tunnels and stuff because they're realizing, you know, helping your situation in every series can ultimately help you in Cup. And obviously this new nose is going to be a big change for them. Their best championship contender this year was Kyle Larson. And he's no longer eligible in his wreck three weeks in a row.

And, you know, that level of frustration can carry over into a lot of. a different ways to. Yeah. Matt, you know, I wonder what that new nose is going to do for that car. I mean, he may set the world on fire.

He might. All right, this is the time where you rant. Do you have anything? I think I've ran it enough. Yeah. I'm ready to go home. I'm out.

Yeah. Thanks for joining us again. Yeah, thanks to one main for sponsoring the podcast at ZELTA. Yeah. There's only two left. Man, can still tie.

I mean, you know how Brett is winning 18 to 16. Going into Phoenix. I know. Who you guys got. Oh, I got to go first. Because you lost. You picked Kyle Larson.

I know, man. So the question becomes who do I want to have on deck? For Homestead. For Homestead. You know, do you want to... So you're going to throw this race. Well, it just comes... He can't lose.

I can't lose. I can only tie. I mean, tie is still sucks. Yeah. Both losers then. I think this guy has a lot to prove, and I think he's fast. I'm going with... I'm just going to go ahead and tell you, dude,

I've been on fire right here. Yeah, you have. I'm impressed. Too bad you waited so long. Too bad it's luck. I'm going to go with Keselowski. Keselowski. Okay, I've already used him up, so...

You know what? It scares me. This pick scares me, but he runs good there. You got to win, bro. Backs against corn. Oh, boy. Well, that was great. How'd you run there in the spring?

me did you wreck bro i don't know dude i didn't know what i did last yesterday i don't know how i got home last night i'm gonna i wasn't with a hickie guy he got home by fedewa i did tim feetwa brought me home i'm gonna go out on a limb here and try to make it um this is gonna be a this is going to be a very this is a very long yeah you're taking freaking forever can you guess who i'm gonna pick i'm gonna go with a angela rock i'm going er jones eric jones eric jones eric jones eric the mullet jones Not a thing.
