You're win. Oh, yeah. Hey, everybody. I'm QJ. Major's, part of the 22-cup car, the 60 last week, Accinity car, and the 25 truck. Brett Griffin, Spotter, Clint Boyer, Elliot Snyder, thanks for One May, Financial to bring in this podcast. guys today we uh we had a chance to win and our lovely co-host is back week three three in a row hey guys you have kacey uh work in marketing not as exciting as these guys you're pretty exciting

thanks i've seen you be exciting yeah you got fired up a minute ago i know i know what can get you wound up here well it's just keep my mind it's fine what you doing in legas uh went out too early where'd you stay the south point south point never stayed there before in my life. Will you ever say there again? Honestly, it's not a bad hotel. I mean, it's not some, you know, 60th

floor, um, nice. I was on a 66th floor. See, it wasn't quite that. I was nervous. You'd have to put two of these on top of each other. Um, but, you know, it's not a bad hotel. But the, um,

the amount of secondhand smoke that I inhaled, it was pretty bad. So everywhere. You know how it is when you walk through the lobby and you walk through the lobby there. And it's actually a pretty cool. I was actually looking forward to staying there to see some of the events they have going there. They have a lot of events going.

They have bull riding. A lot of rodeos. Yeah. They had a bull riding deal there. There's a big bowling alley thing in there. So it's got a lot of things to do. And there's a lot of, and honestly, I probably ate there for half the price of anywhere you probably ate. It was still good too.

Right. It was fine. Yeah. I mean, they have a, what was it? A steak and shake in there. They have a, there's just all sorts of stuff in there. But I really kind of enjoyed the, it was like a, sort of a normal hotel still, not the whole parking to park and park and deck, try to walk, you know, find an elevator to get out there, get to the casino, go up there, whatever. It was all right.

Yeah. Tuesday. I stayed at Cosmo. Nice. High Roller. That's a fun place. You know, it's hard to be Cosmo. They got that STK steakhouse in there, which is probably my favorite restaurant in Vegas

because they play jamming music the whole time you're eating. You know, it's a cool scene. I've been dying to ask any stories. You've had a lot of time off while you're there. I mean, you left for L.A. on like Tuesday. I did. Clinton and I saw that. Oh, yeah.

It's cool like contractors. So, man, these farmers are. They're crazy. Exactly. I mean, they're wild. Did you see Dustin Lynch? I did see him. Justin Lynch.

He's not very big. He's a little bitty dude. So we went to Supercross, me and Natalie, and he was there, too. And I almost texted. I was like, hey, your guy, Justin. So you didn't go to Vegas? No. We had a lot of fun.

Supercross is awesome. It's still my favorite sport without. Do you have any stories? Natalie? No, not really. We did like a day trip. Whatever initially came to? of your mind right there is what we need to know.

I'm trying to think. I think I need more coffee to remember. It honestly, like, it was pretty low-key. We did, like, we ran to the huge van, thanks to Natalie. And 12 of us, 12 of us drove to Atlanta, went to Supercross, drove back dead the next day. You didn't spend the night? No. It was my, this is the first weekend I was home, and I wanted to sleep in my own bed.

Oh, who does that? Me. You're in Atlanta. I paid for a nice bed I want to live there Have fun in Atlanta I was just there the weekend before Nothing changed I mean if you know something's getting over that late

You might just want to stay and get up and drive back in the morning It wasn't that late I don't know It was fine Did you sleep in your bed last night? Yeah Well I mean you were going to the next night I like to make the most of it You realize you're going to sleep in that bed

For like the next 12 years or something Before you get into it right Is it 12 years? I don't know I'll pick fun of it I don't know any day. Well, either way, it was a lot of fun. Supercross is still so cool.

If you guys get a chance to do. If you haven't seen it live, it's one of the better live events, I agree. Even the TV coverage is pretty good. It's fun. It's way better live, though. They're kind of pre-race show with all the pyro and the intros where the guys come out and ride their bikes. And Clint and Clint knows it into the first corner there. That's pretty interesting, too.

I was there live for that. Yeah, that was awesome. That would be a lot of fun. How was your, you had an exciting truck race, didn't you? Man, we had a fast truck. I know. We finished fifth in the first stage, second and the second stage, lost about 27 spots on pit road, eventually got a little bit of a wreck when Infinger made it four wide going

into one at the last second. We missed the issue, you know, but the problem is the 24 truck hung a right and came up and hit us in the door. And man, it's just, it's heartbreaking, you know. Then you have a pit stop under green and you let a tire roll. out and you lose a whole extra lap there. So we had a top three truck. I'm not saying we were going to beat Kyle Busch,

but we certainly were going to contend to run top three or top four. But impressed with how much speed they've got. I thought the 52 did a good job holding off Kyle. Yeah. And then he held off Kyle in that stage, which I was pretty impressed with. He was actually pretty fast too. That's the stage we finished second two.

We got Kyle right at the end there. Yeah. And then I know people were a little mad at the way your guy raced. It was like a mini plate race. It was definitely like a plate race, you know? You could get a run, but your guy was fighting a stand in the one down, right? Because if you go two down, no, we were already two down, we were fighting not to go three down. So when you're sitting there, two down.

I thought you were one down going two down. No, when you're sitting there and you're two down and everybody still has to pit, you know you're going to get at least one lap back, which will put you one down and give you a chance to race for a lucky dog. If you go three down, it's over. The whole race is over. So, you know, Mayats up there race and trying not to go three down. And we caught a slower truck who I think was a Frenchman that didn't speak a lot of English. And apparently, you know, when we made it three wide with him, I guess he came down and hit Brett Moffitt.

But yeah, well, apparently it costs the whole lap truck thing kind of cost Brett the lead, I think, didn't it? Yep. Yeah, I didn't see it happen. It was kind of like they split where he had nowhere to go. But, I mean, it's a tough deal. I would love to see. your reaction to that if Elliott had caught two guys. I can say that.

I don't spot a lot of truck races, and I'm doing it full time this year to help mine out. But, you know, there are complete idiots out there. Norm Benning should not be out there. So there was three lap trucks. You'll catch them. And so here's a deal. The first two that you catch are running low.

Then the last one, which was Norm's dumb ass, was running high. So you come through there, and you're running 40 miles an hour faster than they are. It's like NASCAR said, okay, it's a truck series. There is no minimum speed. Then with three to go, they say, hey, let's park the six. He's not making minimum speed. I'm like, dude, it's too late. We've been out here doing this all night. But it is the most annoying thing as a racer to be out there. And the thing is, people say, well, they've got every right to be out there. They do. But they need to be very aware of what's going on. So they don't, because to me, the driver looks like an idiot and the spotter looks like an idiot. And I would

not spot for a driver that doesn't listen and is in the way because I'm not going to look like an idiot. It's not going to happen. The problem with those three trucks is they stayed about six, seven car lengths apart the whole time, too. So they were, like, tied to each other. They couldn't get it. So when you caught them, it was like you had to zigzag through them, and they never came further than that. Like, we passed them, I think, three, four times the exact same way. They were the same distance apart.

And it's weird because, like, just get away from each other. We'll be fine. But you're, like, zigzagging through them. If you're going to run the top, you run the top. If you're going to run the bottom, you run the bottom. So many of these guys, I mean, when we caught the guy that, They ultimately cut Brett's tire down. What a cool first name, by the way.

He was running right in the middle of the racetrack. Get out of the way. Do you not know the leaders are coming? And I honestly don't think he did. I mean, the spotter that he had is a veteran spotter. But again, this guy spoke very little English and obviously can't drive. Yeah, it's exciting. It does make it exciting.

It was an awesome race. I will say that. Yeah. All right. Shall we head in the spot-on, spot off? Let's do it. Harvick goes back to back. spot on, spot off.

You know, spot on for him, in my opinion. They found a little something. I think this is something that people do once in a while. You'll see cars go on a pretty good little run here for a little bit, but, you know, I worry about the time of the year that he's doing this. He's kind of hot at the wrong time, in my opinion. Yeah, it's great for them. Okay, you're locked in the playoffs, but we're going to catch up.

We're going to catch up to that. Or they're going to find what you're doing, and you're not going to have it. So, you know, but spot on for him for winning with fast cars. A lot of times that's been a lot of people have trouble doing that. When you have a car that dominant, it's really easy to make a mistake. Yeah, spot on for Harvick. And here's why I'm more spot on than some of the points T.J. made.

Atlanta is its own animal. It's a very slick racetrack. We lose a lot of time, you know, while we're out there running in terms of lap times. We'll fall off three or four seconds. Vegas is a very difficult mile and a half. It's very fast, very bumpy and one and two. So for him to go out and dominate for the second week in a row at a track that's nothing like the first track. And oh, by the way, we're going to Phoenix where he's won like seven of the last 10 races or something crazy statistically.

So this guy's going for three in a row, and I can't imagine a lot of guys have ever done that in their career. I think Kevin was more of a threat at the old Atlanta, in my opinion, more of a short track. He was really good there, but he's certainly going to be a factor in him. but I think they have found something a little bit that works, and, you know, they're making it work right now. Yeah. Him and Rodney have that capability to do that once in a while. And to TJ's point, you know, he's peaking at the wrong time.

I got to disagree with that because I think we saw last year Martin be very consistent all year. We saw him rack up all these stage points, all these stage wins. You know, winning the race is five more points. So Harvick's going to be at a position by July where he's already locked in the championship, just like Martin was last year. So then it gives you a lot of confidence, a lot of momentum. And you know what you're working toward. You know, right now he's working toward winning Phoenix.

But if he goes out and wins Phoenix, it's like, okay, we can go ahead and really start focusing on our championship 10 race run. Yeah, I don't. The only thing against that is we're very rarely to see a guy dominate the season and then dominate the playoffs. It doesn't happen every year. So it would be interesting to see. I feel like Larson, too, last year was on a hot stretch for a while.

He started off, the beginning of the first. of the year he couldn't do anything wrong right and then as the playoffs got closer to started he just became less of a factor in my opinion you know larsson's always fast he always puts on a good show but the majority of races he seems to win are those late race showdowns where we got 10-15 laps on a late race restart so you know our races aren't really built around that model especially these cup races i mean you look at the weekend the truck race was exciting the infinity race was exciting the cup race wasn't really that exciting you know it's still the biggest names in most of other sports out there racing for the win, but these guys are not racing at the same level

with the same package as those other guys. So, you know, to Larson's point, I'm a huge Kyle Larson fan. I think he's one of the best drivers in the sport. But I also think the majority of his wins come in those late-race shootout situations, not really going out and doing what Kevin did. Kevin's led as many laps by himself as the rest of the field has put together in three races. Yeah.

Considering one of them was a plate race, that's a pretty impressive stat. So there's no doubt who has the most speed right now, and it's at 14. A late race restart with Harvick and Larsson on the front row. It would be hard for me to go against Larson. I agree with you. I mean, I think the two best in the business that restarts right now are Kyle's, Kyle Larson, Kyle Busch. And when you give those guys an opportunity to win from those front two rows with 10 or 12 laps to go,

they're extremely difficult to beat. Next up, one Chevy in the top 10. This is big. I mean, I don't know how you spot off this. When you come out with a new car, it's got to be. better. Yeah. And it looks like they're struggling with it right now.

So, you know, I was really excited for them to see, you know, the car looks great, in my opinion, looks great. And it was, I felt like they needed a shot in the arm. And I thought this might be it, but they're struggling. Yeah, I mean, when you look at Chevrolet, you have two guys that legitimately ran in the top ten all day. One of them was Chase Elliott, taking out in the wreck. The other one was obviously Kyle Larson, who last year finished second at Vegas.

This year ran third. and you say, man, what's going on with Chevy? Because we all know Jimmy Johnson. The guy that I've been most shocked at, though, is William Byron. He's been more than two laps down in those first two races. That's not something I expected out of him or that team. You know, obviously, he's new to Cup cars. They got this new nose.

There's a lot of variables in place, but I really didn't see him coming in and struggling. You know, Alex Bowman hadn't been in a car full time in a long time, and he's been a few spots better than Byron. I didn't see that coming and be in the case. So, I mean, it's not the end of the world for Chevy. We know they've got some good teams. And I think the big question mark here is, what does RCR really bring into the table? You know, yeah, they went out and ran the Daytona 500, won the Daytona 500.

But realistically right now, Kyle Larson and Chase Elliott are the only two carrying the Chevy torch. Lapped cars affect outcome of truck and exfinity race. Spot on, spot off. You know, I'll go spot off because if you're a lot of. in that position like Brett Moffat is to potentially go two in a row for a truck that nobody would ever expect to be really doing that. The guy pulled out a winner at Atlanta, and he's carrying that momentum onto Las Vegas, and this is a smaller team. So for them to have that opportunity, and, you know, I would personally be, I would personally be pretty mad if it was my truck that got,

you know, you caught lap trucks like that, especially multiple laps down. You know, I mean, it's obviously probably not your night at that point. So I would personally be, pretty mad at it. You know, there's a, that your, their days are going to come. Like, your time's going to come, and you don't want to come into that situation and catch somebody like that. So, spot off. Every week they have a rookie meeting.

And every week, they have a driver's meeting. So NASCAR has two opportunities to speak to drivers. This is the footage that needs to be shown. I mean, we saw it happen again on Saturday. I saw Blaney trying to take the lead, and he ran up on a lap car, and it made. him lose half the straightaway because the guy was literally in the racing preferred racing groove and in the way so you know the spotters for the most part are good spotters there are a few guys in trucks and exfinity that

don't do cup cars that don't have the level experience that tj and i have but there are also drivers out there with the same thing so i look at nascar and i say you can come in here and make this a lot better for all of us number one enforce the minimum speed number two talk to these drivers they should have called that driver to the truck immediately and said hey, you just screwed up our whole race. You just caused Brett Moth of the wind. What are you doing? And I think when you get those guys in that metal mindset,

are they in a fast truck? No, they're not. But there's still a way to stay out of the way and go about your business. That's just how I think it is. Next up. Casey, next. Sorry, I thought you were going to talk.

You're opening your mouth. Kyle Bush flips off teammate Brandon Jones in Exfinity Race. I think we all know why he flipped him off. It's because he sucked. Kyle Busch is out there. an Xfinity race, and he cannot run top 10. He's just won the truck race. He's used to winning all these Xfinity races, and he gets in the car.

I've not seen him be this bad in a race since he drove his own equipment in the 54 car when KBM had a, I think it was a nationwide series team then, obviously Xfinity series team now. So the first thing is he's mad. You know, I don't know what Brandon Jones did to make him flip him off, but for me, I'm always spot on anytime somebody flips anybody off. I love that. I mean, I think it's exciting that he's.

did it, but I saw those two hit going into one one time as well. Did anybody else see that? No. They hit door to door on the entry to one. And Kyle thought he had a flat tire. I saw the spotter waving there for a lap. He didn't pit, so he didn't cut a tire. But welcome to reality, man.

I mean, welcome to what we all deal with every week, you know, when you don't have, this is what racing is like when you don't have the most superior car or something every race. So, you know, Kyle Busch's career has never seen a struggle in terms of equipment, being in equipment that's not great, right? He started at Raus and trucks when Raus had the best trucks out there. And where did he move to?

Hendrick. Guess what Hendrik had? Great stuff. Guess where he went from there? Gibbs, once again, great stuff. The only time he's ever stumbled as a race car driver in NASCAR is when he had his own team and he was trying to run Bush Series, Nationwide Series. And he cut that out.

And he struggled, so what do he do? He stopped doing it, you know? So, I mean, I think for him, and I get it, but for him, I think that's the first realization of a struggle that he's had in years. What it could be like. I mean, that's honestly, that's what, I mean, a lot of our races are like that. You run anywhere from, you know, third to tenth or whatever, and it's a battle. Yeah. And that's what he had to do that race.

And, you know, to be that mad to flip somebody off, I mean, I don't expect to last. No. But that's, you know, what it could be. So ride the way, enjoy it. I got to grade out the truck race and Xfinity race this weekend as both being A's. You know, they both put on a great show. I mean, the top seven in the Xfinity race are running right there within a half straight away at one another.

I mean, I was very impressed with how well that track led us race. You know what I mean? Sometimes I guess we don't go out there enough for you to always be fresh in your mind. Now we're going to go twice a year. We'll know more about Vegas. It'll make the race even better. But it put on a good show. The second groove and third groove and third groove in three and four is now manageable.

Yeah. It's now, like, it's a great track. You can run somebody down and run the bottom. Then you can move up a lane. You don't lose any time to the middle of the corner, and you gain off the straightaway. Yeah. So there's a constant chest match going on of, okay, you run this guy down,

and then you move up a lane, he moves up a lane, and then you move down a lane. There's a constant chest match going on. And then you've got guys like Larson, it'll just completely run up by the wall and get a huge run. Yeah. I mean, from a spectator, it was so cool watching them go four wide, three wide. Yeah, everyone, you just, and that's a lot. Vegas is moving its way up the ranks on my track list because of the way we can race there now.

You can get runs on the straightaway. You can draft a little bit. You can side draft. You can, you know, try to make your car truck work on the bottom and make some time up. But it's becoming one of my favorite racetracks to race. I think the studio is honed. We keep hearing singing. I know. I'm wondering where it's coming from and they should probably do a duet with you guys.

I kind of spot the guy. He's working on Justin's car. He is just having a great Monday. Is he? Is it Bubbles? We got our buddy Bubbles out there somewhere. Giggles. His name's Giggles. Giggles. Bubbles is from the trailer park boys. Yeah, Giggles. We got to get giggles back on the show. Y'all know what happened. Giggles got. He got a hickie one time and we brought him in here to talk about it. He came in here and he had to come in early and get some. women to put some makeup on his neck.

I think I listened to this episode. Do we need to bring him back and see if he's had any updates lately? We got to bring him back. All right. We can work on me. Because I saw him at Daytona. And he was like, when am I coming back on the show?

I'm like, as soon as you get some more hickies. I'm sure he's working on it. He is having an awesome Monday. Do you know anybody that's ever had more than one hickie at a time? Like there's, like there's like, there's like a hickie.

There's like a hickie. And then there's like trailer park hickies if you got more than one. Like a hickie's kind of like, Oh, that guy, I obviously got one, you know. Yeah, but two? Have you ever known anybody with two visible hickies? Visible, probably. I mean, I think I've seen it before.

I can't remember exactly when. Because that's like trailer part. That's a good night. That's a lot going on there. Three hickies, you probably didn't even remember it. I mean, if you get more than one in a visible area. We need a hickie meter. We'll work on that for giggle.

Let's talk about the poll last week. Why would a person let somebody do more than one, like in a visible area? Do you know you're getting a hickie? Yeah, you'd think you'd. Yeah, I would think you. I would be like, oh, wait, stop. So you know you're getting a hickie? I would assume so, you do.

Have you ever had a hickie? I mean, I probably did, but like years ago. I don't remember. I don't know. I don't know. Where was your hikki? Wait a minute. You're old?

I feel old. Where was your hiky at? It would have been in, like, high school if I did. You had a hickie in high. Oh, my gosh. Okay, we are way off track here. Who is this hostess? I don't know.

Hostess with a mostus. I said probably. Holy cow. I don't know. I don't remember. Welcome to the stage. Geez, that was. Are you kidding me?

All right, next up. I was definitely talking like after high school here. I was too. No, I don't know. I was so long ago. I don't know. My dad would have high-fied me or been mad. I don't know.

Do you wear a turtleneck during the summer? Were you covering it up? I honestly could not remember, and I'm regretting seeing anything now. I think she knows. I honestly cannot. I would tell you. I really have no clue. What year did you graduate high school?

Twenty-two-two-two-eight. Two thousand-eight. Wow. Are you a millennial? No, I thought they said that was like a 95 to like a... Yeah, my sister's are millennial. What are you? I don't know.

Post-millennial? We're like the out. Siders. We are like the only generation that I keep reading about. I kind of feel like we are. Yeah. The lonely generation. I can read about a lonely generation.

I don't. But you got Hickey, so you can't be that long. I don't know. So now you're denying. I have no clue. I feel like I might have, but I might not have. I have no clue. Where Higgies not very, you know, attractive in Pagelon?

Dude, everybody had Hickees. It was like, hey man, you're going to see you Hickie. All right. Let's want to what a Hickeys and do funnies This weekend at the track. Why we, Bob? What's he got to do with Hickies?

I bet Bob Pockers has never had a Hickey. Oh, what? Let's call and ask him. Let's text him. Let's not. He looks like a real reserve guy. I think he listens to the show, so he doesn't. I know, Bob, yeah.

He just doesn't, you know, he's got a great sense of humor, first of all, when he lets it out of the bag. But he just looks like a reserve guy that he'd be like, stop sucking on my neck. Stop it. I don't want to hear. Hickey. I got to be at the track at 5 a.m.

The Rennie Center doesn't open until 7, but I still got to be there at 5. I don't know. I tell you. I have nothing to say here. Okay. So Bob Hawkeret's ranked bell number one as a prospect. So Bob Parker said an awesome article, and he said, hey, here are the top 20 guys that I think are the next big prospects for Cup. And Bob was sucking air.

Pick Christopher Bell. He actually did a really good job. He did a good. I read this article. It was really good. Yeah, Christopher Bell was number one. I don't know how you disagree with that. I really don't.

I think the only way you can counteract that is find somebody, and it's hard to find these people that's performing, maybe not winning races, but performing in lesser equipment. Yeah. Like you take somebody that's running that third, fourth, fifth that you might not notice. Expect, yeah. Like, how does a...

Daniel Hemrick. I mean, that's the guy that you are just saying to me. That's who you're building the argument for is... Because you look at Christopher... Here's the thing. The word prospect means the one most likely to succeed if we give them an opportunity, right? The most likely to reach their potential. Or if they had a draft, he would get picked.

Yeah. Christopher Bell came up through this same model that Eric Jones did, that Suarez did. He's got a lot of Toyota backing. So from a resource standpoint, I don't think he can dispute Christopher Bell. But the argument you're making of who's doing more with less, we said it on the show. I said it on the show last year. Daniel Hemrick is the best driver at RCR right now. He went out and he ran top seven all day in that car in Vegas.

Ty Dillon, he didn't run top 14. So I think to your point, what you're making is who's doing more or less, it's a guy like Daniel Hemmer. Yeah, and Daniel has, he has started late-mile racing, worked his way up to the trucks, got a truck ride, moot turned that into Exfinity ride. It's been fun watching, you know, I remember three or four years ago reading, you know, these Matt Weaverwood post short track stuff. Daner Hemrick was winning a lot of races. Yeah. And he doesn't, from what I know, he doesn't come from, he comes from a local family here. Yeah.

And just racer, you know, and doesn't, didn't come from a huge backing. but made it work. John Hunter and Nemechek's done a lot with a little. John Hunter and Neimancheck has done a lot. And I think, yeah, he's too low on this list, way too low. He's impressed me as well. He's fast and he gets it done. I mean, he actually looked pretty good.

I had to look twice since he was in that 42 car in the Xenarieree. In the practice, I was like, who's in that car? He's up riding the fence. I'm like, yeah, I can't drive for him to be moved up the ring. Sheldon Creed never heard of him. Awesome Cendrick. Hey, stop wrecking. And guess who made the bottom of the list, T.J.

Your favorite. Natalie, Graham. Hey, Natalie. I bet Natalie's how to hickey. Yeah, that's what I was going to ask you. Yeah, she's definitely had a hickie. I don't, I think this list should be different by what you've raced. I was just about to say, like, Gilliland, like, I feel like for him, I mean, he's still moving up.

Like, Bell is pretty. Gilhan's not number two. I promise you. And I'm not... Not to say that he's good. I mean, he's good, but I think that he saw his time to... But he's not done enough to be top two. He can't even run a full season yet.

I don't think Custer's three either, in my opinion. I think, honestly, I thought Priest did good with what he had. It'd be Bell, Priest, Hemrick, Redick, I think, would be... He's creeping his way up the list here. He's doing a fine job, so... The good news is, I mean, this is a... healthy list of young talent. Yeah.

And, you know, a lot of these guys are going to get an opportunity to make it to cut. Will Rogers. I think these, I mean, these are the young guns in the future. Who is? Will Rogers. I think that these people will be on track. I think he's that guy from a TV show, wasn't he? Mr. Rogers.

That's what I was thinking. Mr. Rogers' Neighborhead. From way back way. Bob, call us. Tell us your Hickie story. But in the meantime, we got to take a break. Great job, Bob. I think this is a great list.

I agree. We're taking a break. We believe in the importance of community. That means partnering with our neighbors to reach common goals, lending a hand when it matters most, and commitment to our neighborhoods. Community isn't just where you are. It's where you make a difference.

and I didn't say which side I was on. I just said when you take care of your own kids, still disagree with it. Is it babysitting? It is babysitting. 90% of the people said it's called parenting, not babysitting. It's the same thing. Still watching a kid. I'm just telling y'all, 90% of the people agreed with me that you don't babysit your own kids.

So you're home with your kids. Somebody's like, hey, let's go over here. What do you? Man, I'm babysitting. I'm hanging out with Bodie. I'm babysitting. Me and Bodey's playing PlayStation. What's the difference?

You don't call it babysitting. But they get the idea. That's the difference. 90% of the people, when you are caring for your own kids, are you babysitting them? Question mark. 1,158 votes. 89% said no. So I'm sitting at home.

So 11% of single people like Casey who don't have kids and Jason and Natalie agree with you. But the rest of us have kids. So like I'm sitting at home on my couch. I got Stella. Yeah. So, junior calls. Hey, let's go over here. Man, I'm babysitting.

He's going to understand that much more than he's going to say, hey, man. I've got Stella with me. What's the difference? You're not babysitting her. You can't babysitting your own kid. You're totally babysitting. What is the difference between babysitting? 89% of people think y'all are crazy.

Well. What's there between babysitting and watching your own kid? What's the difference? There is none. Babysitting sounds temporary. Like, I get a babysitter for tonight. Oh, you cannot be on his side. She is temporary until my wife gets home.

Here is my only argument that I will attempt to make to make you two realize you're wrong. When you babysit, what do you do? You get paid. You get paid to babysit. When you have your own kid or you're getting paid? I mean, no, you're paying. You're paid. You're basically, you're already making payments.

If I get a babysitter, that babysitter requires a fee, an hourly fee, a daily fee. when I, quote, babysit my own kid, am I getting paid? No. I mean, I get that it's parenting, but it's the same thing. Like, if you are a parent, it's your babysitting, your child. It's a reference. Sometimes you have family members that babysit for free. Yeah, stepdads.

Daddy-in-law's. Grandparents. I wonder if he's out of hickie. My father-in-law babysitting right now. That's what I mean. The old father-in-law. He's getting paid right. He's not getting paid right now.

I don't think so. Oh, so you too cheap to pay him to babysit. Well, he shouldn't have to. He wants to spend time with his... It actually, I'm telling you, it works out good. He lives to spend time with her. So, and he doesn't... This is like his morning with her that he gets, and he loves it.

Yeah. Heats it up. All right. Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt fast line, but I just wanted to say I was right. Is your dinger working over there? We got the real one back. I like it. That's loud.

And you got the vomit one? Way to put in the extra time. Probably. Do you see people tweeting wanting the vomit thing back? Yeah. All right, let's go. Jesus, that's loud. I was old.

Yeah, that is. We needed that when we started talking about hickies. All right, here we go. We're back and headed into Fast Lane. We've been back. We've been back this whole time talking about babysitting. Whatever. We are not discussing this again.

Your job is to keep this show on track. What are you talking about? Let's go. Okay. I'll say it. I'll say it. No, don't say it. All right.

Quick rundown. I'll give these guys three topics pertaining to racing. and one that is off the wall. They each have 30 seconds to speak their mind. First one, Jimmy Johnson's car chief was ejected on race day after the 48 failed inspection three times. What do you think of this new rule? Honestly, kicking the car chief out right before the race

doesn't have a big impact anymore because the car chief's job is to get the car prep for the race and get it through inspection. Obviously, they're at this point struggling to get it through inspection, but kicking him out, he's not going to serve a major role from that point forward anyway. So, you know, Jimmy was sent to the rear. Obviously, they can do a lot of different things with a lot of different penalties. But if you want to take somebody out that's important, take out the crew chief.

Take out a tire changer. Take out a Jackman. Yeah, there's, if you're going to, it doesn't make that big of a difference. I mean, unless you get a little bit of damage. But most of the time, the damage you get now, you know right away if you're going to fix that in five minutes. If you got any suspension damage or anything like that, you're pretty much done. So, you know, you're not really doing a whole lot by that at that point of the time. If it happens earlier in the weekend, I think Truex's got it kicked out of Atlanta a day earlier.

They did, yeah. But at the race day right before the race, nah. He's the little guy. He's the hardworking blue-collar guy that started as a mechanic, has worked his way up, and here he is just trying to do his job. And for whatever reason, the car is not passing. He didn't come up with a setup. The engineer did.

The crew chief did. He's just doing his job, presenting the car for inspection, pass or fail, kicking the guy out. I just don't think he's the guy. I don't get it. A car chief is the guy that goes, that the crew chief and them go to with the setup. They expect this car chief guy to put the setup in the car.

All the other mechanics out there are working under this guy. If they have a problem, they go to the car chief. The car chief then handles it right there or goes to the crew chief. So when you're going through inspection, the car chief's the one the officials all go to with the papers, with problems and stuff like that. That's his job to make sure all that happens efficiently. And that way the crew chief and the engineers can stay in the holler and work on the setup and do things like that. It's become so specialized. The car chief today, 20 years ago, was the crew chief.

Now the crew chiefs don't touch the car. You know, they literally, they have all these people that are hands-on that are doing all that. The engineers, there's two engineers in every team at least sitting in the lounge, and they're coming up with the setups. They're running the sim. They're telling you what you're going to try to race that particular day. So the car chief, to pull him out right before the race, like he wasn't going to do anything during the race anyway, but watch. No, and it used to be, once you got the car chief, the next step for you was crew chief.

Yes. Now that's kind of changed. Now, if they were to eject the crew chief out, the next got to step in there is probably going to be an engineer. Yeah. So, and that's kind of how it's evolved. And sometimes that can bite you. Sometimes these car chiefs a lot of times are the racers. They're the guys that grew up around cars, been around racing.

They started sweeping floors, got to be an underneath guy, moved up to a front end mechanic. Yeah. Then became the car chief. Learn how to build shocks. They can do it all. They can do it all. You could probably take some of these engineers out of there, and they don't know how to.

They don't. They don't know how to fix anything. Yeah. Not manually. They do on their computer. Yeah. But they can tell you if it's probably going to drive the splitter or not. You know what I mean?

They know that it's completely different now, but it's just kind of way the sports is involved. We saw Casey Kane's, you know, current crew chief. He was a car chief on the 88 car. You don't see that a lot anymore. It's very rare. Typically, you see TJ's point, that career path, taking you more through engineering. Yeah. All right.

We went over way, way over 30 seconds. That's all right. We're educated. We're edgimication. Yeah. Should BK racing be allowed to continue to retain their charter while in bankruptcy? T.J. You know, I'm not as big on the financial side and charter side.

Brett knows a lot more about this stuff than I do. I don't know the current situation, whether as long as I guess they're paying their bills and they can pay their bills to get to the race track, as long as the people are getting paid still, I guess, the workers. I know they owe some, I'm guessing they owe some people some money somewhere. Yeah. But that, you know, this doesn't always end bad. I've seen teams get to this point before and rebound and, you know, come back. We see a lot of businesses going to bankruptcy,

and while in bankruptcy, they get to continue. Where I think we as a sport differ is we know that BK racing did some things toward the end of the last year that screwed a lot of people over. And I think as a franchise of NASCAR, which is ultimately what their charter gives them, There needs to be some morality clauses in there that says if you're not meeting A, B, and C, requirements, we're going to take your charter if you're not paying your spotter, which they weren't. If you're not paying these people, we're not going to let you play in this pool and have this charter. We're, oh, by the way, we just found out via a lawsuit.

They're guaranteed $3 million in winnings. So give that to somebody more worthy. Yeah, I don't know if I'm necessarily a fan of this whole charter deal anyway. I think the run of the show, how it used to be, you show up, you qualify, and you race. If you're fast enough, you race. You know, I don't think there was a problem with that. And the way the car count is, I mean, who cares if we have five more cars show up? Why don't know, let's race them?

Yeah. You know, let's race them. I don't, what's the big deal? I mean, if you have, you know, three more car show up, just give them five, 10 grand to show up to race. I mean, yeah. But you have to race. You got a race. Got a race.

Can't start a park. Yeah. This will be the last Phoenix race on the current layout before the start-finish line moves to the dog leg in November. Will this help or hurt the racing in Phoenix? Man, I think it makes the restarts. If we get a late race restart, well, you know, a green-white checker or a five-to-go restart,

I definitely think we're going to see a more exciting ending because we see those guys come off the top of the banking in one and two now and dive all the way to the very. bottom. So if that start finish line runs from that inside wall all the way to the outside wall and the dog leg, we could see four wide finishes. And for us, the spotters, it's hard for us to tell who's where. We would have a hard time calling who would win in that situation. So I think short in the race shootout, it definitely could make it more exciting. I don't think this layout change is good for Phoenix at all. We've had side-by-side finishes there. Turn three and four is just slow enough to

where if you can get to somebody, you can move them a little bit and make for a good finish. Now, think about this, though. This might take a couple more seconds, but we're going to... Oh, you only got 30. Listen. I'll cut you off. Where is the restart box going to be? Right.

It's going to... In the middle of the corner. Yeah. So this doesn't really make a whole lot of sense to me. We're going to now going to be restarting in the middle of the corner. As soon as we get to that start finish line, we're all hanging a left, cutting the dog leg. I mean, this is going to be crazy. The question is, is it going to be exciting.

It's going to be exciting. The answer is, yeah, it will be exciting. Well, three and four, or one and two on the other end is going to be exciting. The first time I showed up at Phoenix after they reconfigure the track, I was like, what is that back there with all that banking and a dog leg? It almost looks like a video game, like a track that somebody just invented on a computer. And now we see why. There's been a lot of money.

I just hope they have Wi-Fi and my cell phone works. It went from a short track to a mini mile and a half. Yeah. I mean. Yeah. I agree. Off the wall topic, what animal does? Do you think outnumbered people in Denmark?

I don't know where Denmark is. Europe somewhere. What animals do they have? Is that near Tennessee? Normal animals. Denmark. I've got a sound effect that I could use as a hint if you'd like that. Cat.

What do you think outnumbers people in Denmark? Let's let them guess first. All right. Europe. TJ, you're first. Cats, sure. If I had that wrong button, I'd hit that right now. The cat's not an animal like that.

I think he's talking about like an animal, right? Like livestock. Oh, okay. Cow. Wrong. Probably like sheep or goats or something. Hope. What about a horse?

What is it, Mr. Denmark? Here's the hint. Donkey? A pig? Pig. Did they have a donkey? Did not sound like a donkey? Do you need to refresh your animals?

So there's more pigs than people in Denmark? Yep. That's weird. So do they have more bacon? They said they have high quality bacon. What's that? I thought Smith had high quality bacon. I only eat Smithfield bacon, original.

I tear that stuff up. I only eat crispy bacon. It's the best kind. Crispy? Yeah, I like it crispy. I like my flimsy. I like it. I don't want anything burnt.

I didn't say burn it. I want a steak medium well. Jeez, just ruined it. I don't like it burnt. You cannot order a steak over medium. If you do, you're ruining it. I like it when you pick it up. Stay straight.

The bacon. Bacon. I won't mind where you pick it up and it does like this. Yeah, I can't dip that in the ketchup. It's harder to dip that. My bacon's like this. You can't dip that in the ketchup is easy. I don't want to dip it like this.

Yeah. I got to scoop it. I got to scoop ketchup with it. Bacon? Yeah. Dude, you're a weird eater. That's like too great. I knew you are a weird eater, but it's getting even more weird.

Really? Whatever. Yeah. I'll say it. All right. Do you eat bacon, Casey? I do eat bacon. I do eat bacon.

All right, let's have them to ask DBCC. Producer Jason chose a few Asked BBC questions to ask the guys First one Here we go Ask at Chase Smith Chass Smith

She asks how bad does NASCAR need more short track racing Well Chad We need a lot more Chas Chas Yeah Chaz We need short tracks are awesome

Yeah I don't know how you I think everybody jumps up and down and screams we need more short tracks, but realistically, what are we going to do about it? Because we have so many wonderful short tracks in this country that with a few upgrades, we could make them raceable, right? But the problem is the majority of the schedule is dictated by two publicly held companies, SMI and ISC. So if they aren't going to invest in that short track product and take dates away from their larger facilities, what are the odds that really happens? When you look at

Martinsville, you say, okay, we can build seats here. We can build 60,000 seats. But the model, when we were in our growth stage in the late 90s, early 2000s, the model was, let's get as many people to track as we can. Well, how do we do that? We build a bigger track. So Bristol is an exception to the rule in terms of what they've been able to create there for seating.

I think seating kind of drove the model toward these bigger tracks when now we're all looking, and it's Drivers. It's Del Jr. I mean, it's a lot of people jumping up. It's Jeff Gordon saying, I want to, come back and run one more race. I want to do a truck race at Martinsville. That's because short track racing is how we all grew up. It's what we think is fun. But realistically, T.J., are we going to see more short tracks? Realistically, it's probably not in the cards, but it just

opens the door up for, and I really give it to Martin'sville doing a great job. They put lights in. Five years ago, everyone would have been like, yeah, it's never happening. They're putting lights in. They're making it a, you know, I could eventually see it as going there on a Saturday night show, which I think would be awesome. I agree. Um, you know, we go, like, I can't even tell you how happy I'd be. If there was a, they said, oh, by the way, we're going to redo Myrtle Beach and we're going to go run there. Holy cow.

That would be awesome. I wish our all-star event would look at that and say, okay, let's go to South Boston. Let's go to Moose Weeks. Let's go to Irwindale. Like, I realize that's a long ways from home. But let's pick some of these short tracks, upgrade them a little bit. We can pay for it by going one time. They don't, they don't have that much stuff to be done.

But, I mean, you look at Rockingham, who went in and redid their deal, and we went and race trucks there a few years. Financially, they couldn't survive. So it's almost like the Cup series has to frequent the track in order for it to be able to sustain, you know, just operations. It's kind of a, it's kind of crazy. It would do what I think would happen as well is if we could, if we could take these races, take an exfiny race, take a cup race, and let's go run Myrtle Beach once or

twice a year. It would, in my opinion, it would boost the short track racing community. I think it would boost a lot of things. I think you would see, we always talk about this, you would see a late model guy that wins there a lot. He'd go put an expedient car together. And he'd go run with it and probably run pretty dang good too. Yeah.

You know, or there's guys on this list that could do that. This is where teams go find guys, though. Yeah. If you own an expedited car and it's a decent car or whatever, and it's part-time, you know, you just pick drivers here now, you're going to go find a local short track guy that's really good at that track, and you're going to put him in a car. Yeah.

So, I mean, it's, and that used to happen. a lot. A lot. So I think it would open the door for that stuff. And then it'd be Ryan Priest, you know, would love this too. He'd like to be in, that's what he grew up around. So I just think you'd get a lot more short track guys, opportunities, and to move up and make names for themselves that don't have a lot of money and stuff. It'd be really cool if it was like an exhibition race.

Like one of those for the fans where you do it may not count for points like the first year. Yeah. Everyone come out and do it even make of it. I don't know if anybody would go to an exhibition race. It'd be fun, though. Yeah. All right. Copeland, Zach asks, why don't tracks have roofed or sheltered spotter stands to protect you and equipment from weather elements?

Saw equipment hooked to fence in 50 mile an hour winds. Copeland, Zach, you're hired. NASCAR is creating a position to you called Spotter Operations. And all we want is two things, three things. Parking pass I don't even I didn't care about a pass as much as an area to park

bathroom And the ability to not cook like bacon Yeah You'd be crispy bacon I'll tell you man It was so windy on Friday Like you would be standing there You'd go

It was like Jeez man Like how am I supposed to deal You would look toward turn wonder In the truck race And it will blow sand in your eyes You know Because it's dusty out there

Anyway right I mean you would literally feel sand hitting your face, your eyes are water. And it's like you were on a jet ski running 50 miles an hour, but you weren't moving. I don't mind it being windy, but when it's moving you, when you're taking steps because it's so I went down to the second, the next level down when they said we could because it's less windy. Yeah, for practice.

I did everything down there until Sunday. Yeah. Oh, you did the races? Oh, I didn't do the races down there. It's, and the thing is, like when we split up like that, if I need T. T.J. to tell him something, I can't find him. That's why they try to keep us in one place, but they did give us permission to go down a level, but I don't know it was during the race.

Also, you'll get out there. When we go back to Vegas, you'll be able to smell our skin burning. We're going to be out there in early September. It's going to be hot. It's going to be hot. And it cannot be that hard to put some simple roof. Shade. Some simple roof on these spotter stands.

You know, I mean, honestly, with all the sun stuff out now, and we all wear sunblock and everything we can, and we wear sleeves, everything you can to protect yourself. But, I mean, if you're a protection. If you're spending billions and millions of dollars to redo something. Spending $400 million at Daytona, you could have put a little roof. What is, what's $2,500? I know.

You know what I mean? Like, really, what is it? Yeah. And you know how you're, whatever. We need Lowe's or Ace Hardware or Home Depot or somebody to step up. Something. Something. Like 6 or 8, 4x, 4s, and some plywood, some nails.

Liberty Mutual sponsors the spotter stand sometimes. Maybe they'll build us a little thingy. and put their you know they could put their banner on the roof of the aiming up and they get all the yeah all the branding good gear branding on top all right we'll talk to the tracks when we do it yeah good luck that's where it's gonna go

all right zoom buck 80 asks with no poll award sponsor does the poll winner get anything other than first pick at pit stalls and starting first should they get a playoff point for winning the poll zoom buck how many questions are you going to ask with your one question Wow. I think they're pretty solid questions, though. I agree.

No poll award sponsor. We don't have a poll award sponsor? No. So right now they just put a backdrop up with the series sponsor, and that's basically what you get. Well, that's fine with me anyway. I mean, it didn't make much. It wasn't any different when Corr's Light sponsor. I think Cialis should come do that sponsorship.

Or the poll? Yeah. I think that's a good. They're hard to get. They got that Mike Dickie guy. He could come. announce it. All right.

We'll see Alice if you're listening. Come do it. Why wouldn't you? I don't guess they get any bonus anymore, right? They used to get $10,000. I think you used to get funding, and Corsola used to get free beer. I used to work on that account. You got $10,000, right?

I think it was $10,000, but it would also, there was one, last year it would go towards a charity. I think in addition, I'm not positive. Okay. Which was actually pretty cool. So we don't know if these guys get any money or not. I bet they don't because that would mean the NASCAR's got to pay it out. The pit stall preference and the starting position is all the incentive we need to try to qualify good.

I mean, you want to start the best you can. The further you start towards the front, the easier race starts from the very first lap. Yeah. So I do miss us getting a point for leading a lap. I always thought that was incentive to shake up some strategy during long green flag. runs and make people stay out during cautions. Stay out of lap, then pit. I felt like those points were certainly not easily earned, but you could gamble to get them.

And it was risk versus reward. I do miss that. I definitely don't think winning the poll should be a playoff point. No, that's a little extreme. All right. Next up, I think is our fan call. Should we call Kathy Oaks? Let's do it.

This is Kathy. Hey, Kathy. How are you? Good. This is TJ Majors with my lovely co-host, Brett Griffin and Casey here. How are you today? Good morning. I am great.

Thank you. So you supposedly have a good question for us today. Well, I don't know if it's good or not. I guess Jason thought it was good. Jason. We'll be the judge of that, don't worry. Natalie and I agree on it. So far, everybody he's picked.

To ask questions is asked about 10 questions. You got plenty of time here. We got all more. morning, ask as many as you want. Okay, so. Where are you at in Atlanta? Is that where you're at, Georgia? Yep, I just actually just moved here from Phoenix.

You guys are headed to Phoenix, and that's probably the first time I haven't gone to a race in Phoenix in 15 years. Which one do you like better, Phoenix or Atlanta? Bristol. Neither. That's funny. I went to the Xfinity race two weeks ago here in Atlanta. because I thought the Sunday race is going to get rained out,

and it obviously didn't end up. But I probably like Phoenix. I don't know. Phoenix is unique. Yeah. Hmm. Cool. Wow.

What you got? What's your question? So I'm assuming that you, T.J., and for sure, Brett, did not watch the Oscars last night. So I'm wondering if you had your choice, would you rather watch the Oscars or get a root canal? Oh. I mean, absolutely probably. I've never had a root canal. What's that like?

It's bad. I had one one time. And they got it numb me enough and it hurt. Yeah. So I've watched a bunch of liberals. It's humans giving little humans awards for being humans. I'm serious. Kathy, do you know if the Oscars are a bunch of liberals?

All of them, 100%. I'm going on Route Canal. I'm out. I knew that one. I could call that one. Yeah. What is the Oscars anyway? Is that the movie awards?

I love that we never know about anything around here. Is it? Is that where they? give the movie like this is the best movie of this year blah blah blah great actor yeah yeah it was last night so who who knocked it out of the park anybody i don't know i didn't watch it's a don't know is leonardo de caprio up for anything i like that guy i was thinking like him or matt damon or something about Vince vaughn i like him uh he hasn't really done here's my thing about all those people in hollywood is they come out and condemn everything they condemn guns they condemn uh everything

and then they go and they make all these movies about everything they're condemning and i'm like hey, if you really are so against assaulting women, why are you making a movie where you're assaulting women? If you hate guns. You have a great point. If you're making, if you hate guns, why the hell are you on TV shooting up everything? Hypocrits drive me nuts. One, Arder bodyguards last night probably had guns too.

Of course they did. Thought you didn't watch. So probably. Just checking. So what dentist am I using? Well, I just moved to Atlanta. I have a good one in Phoenix. Well, he's heading there this week.

I'm getting there. So are you at work right now? I am. Oh, we are too. You guys sound like you might be having a little bit more fun at work than me. Well, there's a guy in the shop out here that keeps singing that's having way too much fun for a Monday. His Monday is pretty solid. Yeah, and he's going to be in the background of the show probably a little bit every now and then.

And definitely, it sounds like somebody in the shower. So anyway, are you going any more races this year? Yep, I'm going to Richmond in April and maybe Phoenix in November. You're really close to Talladega. Yeah, you're right on the road from Talladega. I went to Talladega last fall for the first time. It was awesome. So what tracks have you not been to?

Because it sounds like you frequent the racetrack. You know, actually, I went to Dover when I was little. My dad was in the Air Force, so we were at Dover Air Force Base. I went there once. Really just Phoenix. Talladega, Atlanta, Bristol. That's it. Well, you're close to Charlotte now, too.

Yeah. Yep. Yep, absolutely. The roval should be a good one. You're probably, how far is she from Michigan? That place is a party. It's probably 10 hours, eight hours? It's probably every bit of, it's five plus like eight or nine.

Is it? Yeah. That's a long way. Yeah, that's pretty far. You might want to fly. Yeah. Hey, do you drink wine? Of course.

You got to go to Sonoma. Oh, yeah. That's a good one. Yeah, absolutely. Sonoma's a good race. It's a good track. The area is awesome. They have great race.

Or Texas. Do you say you went to Texas yet? Nope, have not been to Texas. That's another one. They have a really good Mexican restaurant. That's the worst race you can go to. But the atmosphere is nice. What about Miami?

I mean, I have to fly, but I don't think I'm that far from Miami. Miami's awesome. I love it. Last race, it's pretty good. It's great weather. Usually a lot of options. You can go south to the Keys. You can go north to South Beach.

You can. I mean, great places to stay. That racetrack is probably the best mile and a half that we have other than Atlanta. Yeah, it's up there. Great race track. Obviously, a lot on the line. I mean, I'd go to it. I would pay to go to Miami. Yeah, I'd go there. Yeah. The racing will definitely be a thing. Yeah, I'd definitely move to the right part of the country to be around lots of tracks. Oh, yeah. You got a lot more, a lot more opportunity around here. Well, thanks for submitting a question and don't work too hard down there. Yeah. And the 404. Yeah, don't work too hard. Remember Rubin Stoddard, that American Idol guy? He will that 404. Oh, yeah, yeah. I forgot about that.

I don't watch TV. Yeah. Well, it was nice to meet you. Yeah, it was nice talking to you. Thanks for the question. And keep listening. Have a good day. You too.

That's pretty cool. She was nice. She was nice. So far, we've called two chicks. Yeah. We're sending in the best questions. I mean, we need these guys to step it up. Yeah, they really need to keep up the street.

They're probably scared we're going to call them and give them. You care for what you wish. for. Anyways, what do we want to rant about today? I don't have any rants. I mean, I think I just ran it about liberals. You did. I got yelled at.

I struggled with them people sometimes. You got yelled at? Would you get yelled at for? I got yelled at about another spotter for racing. Who? Oh. I don't want to use names, but. Who yelled at?

This is coming from somebody that, a guy that would race everybody in the Xenia series hard. He's in the Cup series now, but he would race everybody super hard. and now you got these kids, you know, they're learning, and they have to learn it somewhere. So if you're in- You've got to tell us who the driver is or something. When you get to the Xfinney series and the truck series,

they're going to do that stuff. You're going to, I get it sometimes. If you saw a draft or race somebody too hard and you wreck them, there's no sense in that. What series was this that you got to go to that? The Xfinney race. Yeah. So. So when you get.

You were doing Cindric this weekend? I did. Yeah. And he honestly, awesome. I thought drove a. good race. He made a mistake there and got loose, but he's learning. He's still new. He's learning about the sport. I think Awesome was driving

a good race. Late race restart, we finished 7th. Otherwise, we're probably going to be around 10th, which is we were just trying to finish a race. So when you, so basically like, no, no, no, no, which spotter came down there and yelled at you. I can't talk about it. Oh, my

I'm just saying it. Does it happen a lot? Like, if your driver is struggling. Big boy panties on and tell us who it was. Tell us who the driver was. No, it's irrelevant. No, we'll be fair. We'll be fair. All right.

We're not being fair. We've been fair on this show. We're the most honest podcast. We're called the most honest podcast. He gave a few hints. Well, who was it then? Will you make your pick? You're the loser here.

Who was it? I can't tell you. DBC picks. Go. I sense foul play in this. Well, it was. Yeah. Cornwit accidentally mis-corrected it.

Do we need to go back and check the last couple years of this to redo the results here? This is the first time I've noticed. Yeah, he screwed this up. Kyle Busch. TJ actually won this week. T.J. won. He, our friend. He submitted a good question, too.

I don't remember what his question was. Yeah, I can save it for next week. Yeah. So, I lost. I finished third and I lost. That kind of sucks. They used to want for the fence, too. Kevin Harbock.

Damn, really? Yeah. All right. Well. So, Casey, what you've been up to is going to take him a while to do somebody. No. voices here and they're both crazy yeah it's either Stenhouse or Eric Jones Eric Jones ran fourth there last year didn't he he ran top ten both races last year I

believe or right around there yeah so you know what I'm probably not ten houses house is rolling I'm probably not gonna pick Eric Jones again the rest of the year so I'll go ahead and take Eric Jones since he's I mean you're going with the number one seed so swinging scare go to church flat voice all right well I think we should end the show now before we start ranting about anything else. You're going to Phoenix, Casey? I am not going to Phoenix. Do you get paid full-time to work part-time?

I have a lot of office work. We have a lot of event planning to do. I'm going to as a coin for Chad's race. Oh, that's awesome. Yeah, I'm driving. I know. How far? Oh, I found that last night, 11 hours.

Wait a minute. This dude goes and does all this stuff for an engagement, and you're driving. He can't put you on a plane. I mean, he could. I could. As big as that ring is, he needs a private plane. That's what I'm saying, man. He should be worrying about paying jet fuel, not airline tickets.

But have you seen where DeCoyne is located? Can't get there? There is nowhere. The one thing I'm looking forward to you is we pass by where Superman is like, lives or based out of, and there's a huge statue of Superman. Like Dean, whatever. Clark Kent. Yeah, but what's the actor's name?

Clark Kent. No. No, the actor that plays a lot. him. Superman's real. Yeah, I know, sure. Okay.

Well, I'm excited to see the statue. You're talking about the guy that got hurt on the horse? What? Black hair guy. Yeah, it was. Well, they all have black hair. Yeah. I really gave it away.

Do you remember the guy, the actor? I'm not a big super hero person. He don't listen to country music. He don't listen to. He don't listen to. Remember they did like the older version and then the newer one? It was like Dean Kane or something like that's who it was. Yeah.

I don't think it was him. I do. Look. Yeah. it'll be a long drive. So that's where this guy lived? I guess that's where he was based out of. Like in the story, he was from this small town in Illinois.

Okay. What's that noise? I don't know. We had this. The soundware was great this morning. Yes, it was. Yeah. I did a great job of that.

Props to everyone. All right. Off to Phoenix. It's a long flight. Is it longer than Vegas? Same. That's what I think. It's usually right around the same.

I flew with Clint, L.A. to that farmer thing y'all were making fun of. We stopped for fuel twice. It took eight hours to get there. I was about ready to jump out of that plane. That's him, dude, Dean Kane. Oh, yeah, that's not the original guy. The original person.

Yeah, that's not the real. I thought that is the original. No, there's an older one. Really? The real Superman wasn't that guy. Um, are you going to hike, Camelback? Hike. What?

I don't hike. Oh, come on. That's like the one thing you have to do in Phoenix. And the mall. The mall there is really nice. I can't wait to go to the mall. I don't go to malls. Well, I might do that whenever I go to the Phoenix.

Which mall? Scottsdale. Yeah. I love Scottsdale. Have you been to City Hall for dinner? Where? City Hall? No. Oh.

House Brassels. Mission? Oh, the best foods. The rusty spur is where everybody has to go, though. That's the little country hole in the wall. Jason, you know. know any songs they don't play that broke country okay they play real country okay yeah these are cowboys they're called the psychedelic hillbillies or something interesting they're awesome all right well

you make sure you go i can't go we stay in uh where do we stay avondale avondale am i saying right do you stay by stadium yeah yeah me too what is it called it's avondale avondale avondale that area is nice that's where it is cool it's a nice area if you're going to stay somewhere out there that's not a bad area no no It's fun. It's easy to get to. It's 15-minute ride to the track. That's it. That's what I suggest for fans when they're picking a track is pick something that's got everything.

And you can do more while you're there. Well, yeah, there's everything there. You know what I mean? And when I say everybody needs to go to Bristol once they do. But good luck, getting a hotel that's affordable. You know, good luck. Flying into somewhere that's easy to get there. Like, you know, when I look at a Phoenix, I'm like, man, you land 20 minutes from the track.

All the great hotels are right there at the track. You want to drive a little further. Scottsdale's there. There's just so many places that we go that are a little bit more desolate. And I'm like, man, that's a pain in the butt to get there, you know. And if you. And let's face it, you go to Loudoun, New Hampshire. The only thing you allow in New Hampshire is the racetrack.

You're an hour to anything remotely fun. And Auto Club is kind of the same way. I struggle with all the time. A lot of times, you don't have to go anywhere, though, because there's always something on the track there. But my thing is, if I'm going to go to a Loudon, or I'm going to go to a Pocono, or I'm going to go to a Michigan, a Watkins Glen, those places that are desolate, which are all fun, get you an RV and either camp on the infield or the outfield, and you'll have a tremendous family. I will say those tracks do a really good job of like, because there is nothing around it,

they have concerts and camping. You guys used to do something in Pocono. Yeah. I mean, the track does a really great job. Those are the ones if you're going to go, get you an RV. Call 1,800 RV for rent. Talladega is the same way. land wherever you, if you're going to land in Boston and go to New Hampshire,

just get an RV. 1-800 RV won't work. Why don't we get us an RV deal? Because 1-800 RV doesn't know what's the number? What's the number? I said RV for a minute. I think it's like 1-800 go RVing or something like that. Well, it's called in. The DBC.

We can wrap it in the world. What about camping world? Can we work with camping world? Can you drive a motor home? How will be if you drive a motorhome? 25. And I'm out. What?

No, you don't. You got to be 25 to rent a car, dude. They're not going to rent him a motorhome. at 19 years old. He's not 19 anymore. He's right. Get it right. When do you turn 21?

He just turned 20. I got a year. We'll put in your name. He can drive it. This could be fun. Thanks for listening. Yeah. Thank you,
