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'm T.J. Majors, spotter of the 22-cup car. I had the 12-exfinity car last week, and the 25 trucks been off. Brett Griffin's spotter for Elliott Sadler-Clyclimp Boyer, Mike Snyder. Hey, guys. You have Casey. How many shows in a row is this?

You've made it. I mean, I can't see the theme for other people in this ring. She's already broke Kristen's record, but I think she did that week two when she made it a two in a row. Like, streaks are good. Keep it up. I'm on a roll. Don't mess this up. I'm trying to get an A in this class.

Jason, you don't. One of you on spring break? You already had spring break. Spring break is when I went to Miami. That was way back when. Oh, wow. That was early. Semester ends in like a month, so.

Oh, that's true. It's over. Your spring break is probably halfway through the semester, not really in the spring. So what are you going to do? Spring sucks anyway right now. After your semester? I've got the internship at the Speedway until the end of Coke. And then I'll be around here this summer.

Just partying? Yeah, partying all. Yeah, partying all. Can I go back to that? You'll be on the lake with tube socks. Would you go back to college? I mean, maybe like the spring break in the summer parts, but not. That's not the college part.

Did you graduate college? I did. I went to college. I went to UCF in Orlando. That's like the biggest college in America. It is. Yeah. It's like 70,000 students. I made a new friend every day. Oh, interesting. The school is really big. What kind of friends?

Yeah. I mean, you guys always have to make it in a friend. I just want to know what kind of friends you made. Like new friends. Like I was on a sorority. So do you still talk to anybody from there? Like a lot. Which sorority? Alpha Z Delta.

I don't think we had that one. No. It's a northeastern kind of thing. Yeah? Yeah. I think AD Pye and Zeta were probably our two hot ones. There's a couple that weren't hot. I won't say which ones they were.

I think it varies by school. One of them is three triangles. I don't know what that meant. Triedelt. Yeah, Tridelt after 12. There was old saying about that. Well. I don't know if I want to know that.

I went to a community college and stayed at home, so. I didn't get the call. College experience? No, not. Honestly, I left after two years anyway to go racing. I was amazing at college at the life, not really the class. Yeah, I was going to say, what did you get it? I made a 3-7, then I made a 3-4, then I made a 0.9, and they sent me a letter and said,

hey, we're kicking you out if you do this again. And we're pulling your financial aid if you do it again. Hell no, I didn't do it again. I would get kicked out. What happened was I changed majors. And I didn't. 0.9. How do you even do that?

I think you get, like, points for going to class. I'm going to tell you how you do it. You make a B, a D, and two Fs, and take 12 hours. That's where it's the Van Wilder. I know. But I just quit going to my, like, I had some calculus, discrete calculus, computer science. I was like, man, I ain't studying this hard. This is ridiculous.

I want to have fun while. What was your major? Business. When I switched. Oh, yeah. I started in business and then quickly, that changed. What you changed to? Nursing.

Hospitality. Hospitality. Yeah. That's a major? Yes, it's so broad that you can do whatever you want. What? Like HRTA? Like hospitality, retail, something, something?

No, it was like hospitality management where you can basically learn how to run events. What are you going to do with that? What I do right now? I find that that's really a college course. Oh, yeah, it's amazing. I feel like you could get a hospitality for dummies book and be done in a day. Yeah, it's so easy. I'm not going to lie.

It was really straightforward. I mean, I did really well. I had a full-time job by that point. I didn't really care what I graduated with. I could have graduated with like nutrition and then fine. I mean, well, I care. You got that big old diamond and you can just sell it and retire. Well, I'm not selling this thing any time soon.

But retiring sounds great. So you say. She's got a long-term plan. I had a friend that she's telling me about she had her. Who, what's her name? No, I'm not saying names here. She had her like evaluation for work. and it just surrounding me of this. He's like, so what do you want to accomplish

like in the next year? Where do you see yourself? And she's like, honestly, I see myself as a stay-at-home wife. I should say this to my boss. Do we know this woman? I don't know her. Well, we could, there's one way to find out. I don't think you know her.

She doesn't work in racing. I don't like, we just don't know people out of racing or what? She from this area? No, she's not. I feel like, I feel like we know her. She's not letting us know. I hate when people do that. I'm doing it for that reason.

We're telling stories on this show, and you're screwing the whole story up without a name. Yeah. Give us a name. Yeah. Her name was Stacy. She hot? Stacy's mom.

Stacy's mom has got it going on. They used to say that about my mom all the time. Your mom's hot? Just pretty. Let me see a picture. Oh, yeah. Oh, we're not doing this. Is your mom, Stacy?

No. No. Surely Stacy. wouldn't name their daughter Casey. No. Stacy and Casey. I don't think that's really. That would be horrible.

That would be a little. What's your mom's name? Gail. Gail. Gail. Gail. What the Gail? Does she listen to our podcast?

I don't know. It's a good question. I'm sure she listens. Well, I'm sure she'll say. Get your voice real deep in stuff. Okay, she is. Hey, Gail. She's going to text me like, you are off this podcast now.

So, Gail, you're the caller of the week. Yes. Call Gail today. Oh, God. You should surprise call your mom. Oh, we should. Yeah. She's fun or not?

She's fun. Gail. Give me a fun meter rating. Gail, your daughter's been arrested. See what she says. Oh, my gosh. That would be the worst. Why not?

Let's do it. Let's do it at the end of the show. We'll call it. You know how to call somebody? She won't answer during the day unless I like text her because she works. Okay. She teaches. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. So she doesn't really have like. She don't really have like. She don't really. work. So can you ask her like, say, Mom, when are you not busy? I have a problem. Okay. I'll ask her for next. Then we can have like, you know, a time in there. What great does she teach? She actually teaches, um, adults, like anybody from over the age of like 18 that come to the U.S. and don't speak English. She teaches them English. She does. Yeah. And she doesn't

teach, she doesn't speak Spanish. So what, what, she doesn't speak Spanish. No. But she can teach people English and she can't That's what they want to do. Like, they try to hire people that don't speak Spanish so that they force them to speak English. Oh, they can't, there's the barrier there where they can't help them more so they learn it. Yeah. Interesting. Yeah. Anyways, we're off topic here.

How is Texas? That's perfect. It was cold. Yeah. Frozen. You look like you're still shaking, Brett. I'll tell you. Well, I went yesterday and did that trackside live show with Amy Long.

Have you known Amy Long? I have. Oh, yeah? Long time. She literally was quivering. I felt so bad for her. I got text her after. I was like, can I bring you a jacket?

Was she wearing a jacket? Yeah, but she was literally her inside. She was quivering while she was talking. And I was like, man, I feel so bad. Because the day before we were all quivering. Yeah, it was bad. Saturday was brutal. I was the coldest that I've been that I can remember.

And it didn't like just start right in the morning there. It was cold in the morning. But as the day went on, you got colder and colder and colder. and colder. And by, we didn't get out of it until after five. And there was a missed.

Like it was a missed too. It made it even colder. Yeah. So it was bad. Like, I'm not even, I'm not even sure, you know,

I kind of question the practice. I think someone like, maybe David Reagan or somebody tweeted out, you know, if it's under 40, we probably shouldn't even, you know,

it's not worth hitting the racetrack. But, you know, we did get some practice in. The times were fast, real fast. I'm not really sure. You know,

but people learned a lot about their cars or whatever. I'm sure it benefits some people and stuff, you know. And honestly, we probably needed a little bit of race practice since everyone did qualify and trim. And we did a lot of race trim on Friday. Did you? We only made one qualifying run at the end.

Yeah. So, you know, we did a lot of race trim stuff. But the top 10 cars in practice went faster than the pole speed the day before. That's how fast the racetrack was up on. Yeah, it was fast. Wow. And that's because of the...

That's because it's. Cold. Cold means grip. You know, so when this asphalt gets hot, and this asphalt gets hot, you know, just like when you're at Myrtle Beach and you walk down the street, you can see the oles and everything coming out. That's that. That's it gets slit, right? Say oils. Oles.

Oil. I think it's so funny. We've never said oil. That's how you're supposed to say. What's how it's spelled? You got your essential oils? Spelled oil. Get your essential oils there?

No, it's all. Oil. It's not oil. Isn't it spelled? Yeah. Thank you. I have a feel weird saying that oil. How do you say soil?

Soul? Did you just soil your pants? Anyway, motor runs better. There's more grip. You go faster. Motors like cold air. Got it. So they produce a lot of horsepower.

Yeah. Yesterday's race reminded me a lot of an indie car race, the way just the racing went. It was fast. Yeah. A lot of momentum stuff too. If you got held up a little bit, the guy behind you would have a big run on you. Kind of like an Indy car type deal. Yeah.

And the expediting race was real similar to the same way. If you got passed by somebody or got hung on the outside, it seemed to carry. That run, you seemed to keep you slowed down. It was hard to get your momentum back up. So, but it was definitely. His race was entertaining. It was okay. I mean, it was long, but there was.

It is long. Jesus. The reason it's entertaining is because the guys were on. the edge. They were fighting their cars. They're loose. Like, I saw Clint, I saw Clint catch his a bunch. He was screaming loose. And, you know, when you guys were riding behind us there, I really, every time he get within about five car lanes, they'd go off down into one and go sailing up the racetrack. And I knew, I knew even if he got beside us, it was going to probably be really hard. He was passing lap cars and going up the racetrack. Like, he had his hands full.

Yeah. But a lot of guys did. And it makes it, um, those guys were working yesterday. Those drivers were working. Yeah. They were fast. Yeah. Nice. Well, shall we head into Spot On, Spot Off? Do you want to talk about your Sunday? It was a mix between the Masters and NASCAR. And you don't even know who won the Masters. I just forgot his name. I watched it. I was forced to watch it.

It was so boring. You're forced to watch golf? Yes. Marriage sounds fun. Well, I mean, he doesn't watch it normally. Usually we're watching NASCAR or I'm at the track. But because he races next weekend and I'm gone next weekend, he's like, let's hang out together. And I was like, okay, let's do something fun. And he's like, let's watch the Masters. And I was like, hmm.

I wish she doesn't even know who won. I forgot his name. Who won? I don't watch it. Jason, you're sitting behind a computer. I'll look it up. Thank you. Be a good producer guy.

Yeah, you're supposed to have these like stacked. It was someone random. Here's a job tip. When we start talking about something that we don't know. Get the info. You start getting the info. That way, you chimes. And you look really smart when you talk.

If you listen to yourself speak, I mean, how is he supposed to keep track of you guys? Patrick Reed. There you go. Patrick Reed. Perfect. Who the **** is that? Exactly. It's his, uh, wait.

His first major win, like his in 17 starts. First golf match. I was never heard of that guy. Ryan Reed's dad. Yeah. What's his name? Patrick Reed. Wow.

So Jason, when we talk about the Bristol weather, like, later on, you better have, like, the average temperature of Bristol for like the next five. years or something. 25 degrees. And rain. So that's like Derek Cope winning in the Daytona 500. No, I don't think he's that bad.

I think this guy, I don't think this guy, he's a pro, man. Derek Cope was a pro. He's going to Daytona 500. I mean, he's obviously good if he's in the math. Yeah, I don't,

like this isn't fall in his lap. He played well the whole time. You know, the 500 kind of fell in Derek's lab, but similar, but I can't wait to see. I don't know. I struggle with this because, why would there be like a NASCAR race at the time of the Masters?

Like I can't wait to see comparison for rating. I mean, our schedule comes out. We don't. We already are announced 2019, by the way. I know. If you, he hasn't changed. If you put like Texas as a night race, that way it doesn't interfere with the Masters. What are you thinking about our schedule?

So you want to run that, you want to run, we can't run that race Saturday night or whatever. Like Saturday night would not have happened. Do you see how much stuff was on TV Saturday night? Indie cars. cross. There was, I mean, World of Outlaws was going. I'm watching all three. Yeah. So we, I mean, it just is what it is. Sometimes we're going to conflict with stuff.

I'm curious. You see that guy on Thursday hit the ball in the water like four or five times straight? Yeah, that straight up was happy. Is this true? I heard the rumor that some guy got a hole in one and he was celebrating, popped his ankle out, and had to pop it back in place. Yeah. Who does that? That guy.

Apparently that guy. Celebrated too hard. Yeah, I'll celebrate it. Sorry for partying. Sorry for partying. Are you sober yet? Yeah. It's been a few weeks.

That's for my last appearance here. If any of it, I was hammered. Froze it out of you over the weekend. Yeah. All right, spot on, spot off. Tire issues on Sunday. Spot on, spot off. I mean, I don't, the most of the tire problems that I saw were self-induced.

There was a lot of tire wear. People knew it. And everyone knows you can, camber in the car is speed most of the time, and you can get air pressure a lot. You can get carried away with it. And some people, you know, I don't know for sure, but they might have been too aggressive, too aggressive camber, too aggressive tire pressure-wise.

Just trying to get that speed, and it might have bit them. Yeah, I mean, I think when we see good racing, we typically see tire problems a lot of times. But typically that's when we have tire fall off. Yesterday we didn't have tire fall off. These guys were just hauling the mail throughout the run. It's crazy a lot of times. And, I mean, Kyle Busch had a time where his right front was chunked.

He wasn't going to make it the whole run if it had kept going, and we not had a caution there. So, I mean, I don't want to see these guys blowing right fronts and hitting the wall at 200 miles an hour because they can get hurt. I mean, Truex hit hard. Larson hit a ton. You don't want to see your athletes, you know, put in that position because of a tire failure. But a lot of times that tire failure is only,

on the team because they're being aggressive with cambers and aggressive with setups. So it's a pretty fine balance. Good Year has a really hard job. Our speeds are so fast right now. It's hard to build a sidewall and a tire and a tire that'll, you know, maintain those speeds at places where there's so much grip. When we go to Atlanta, it's fine because the tire wears out. The asphalt eats the tire, a place like Texas.

They're putting rubber down, just trying to make it a good surface. So I don't think tire issues are bad for. for the sport as long as they're not good year driven as long as they're more set up driven yeah i don't know that um for fact that you know but there wasn't like a ton of tire failures there was a few but they were fast cars yeah so to me that leads that leads me to believe that they're just trying to get they're trying to win they're trying to have a fastest car and they might have went a little bit too far yeah nascar says post-race harvick should have received the uncontrolled tire penalty this was kind of a big deal yeah there's a picture on

I don't, this all blew up, man. You know, I see so many times that we see things happen during a race, and NASCAR comes out, an official comes out, a high-ranking official comes out, and makes a statement that is almost oblivious to the facts around what they're speaking to. And you literally are sitting there going, man, I was in the game. I saw how this played out. I can't believe, you know, like Pocono one time. We had 17 cars in one pit run that got caught speeding.

Remember that? Yeah. And NASCAR's going, we don't have a problem in the segment five. It's you guys. And I'm like, 17 people don't speed. No. You know what I mean? So you see those kind of things happen and you're like, okay, we see them happen.

And then we have to correct the problem as a team. We have to drop our RPM down, you know, a couple hundred RPM to compensate for it. And then we see something like this happened where the president of NASCAR stands up and basically says his official was wrong for doing a fist bump. Now, NASCAR said they missed the call. and that's obviously them stepping up to the plate saying they missed the call. But you know what in all sports calls are missed? Balls and strikes, touchdown passes, you know, whatever it may be. Calls are missed.

It's just part of any game. For them to say they missed the call, I think it's a good thing for him to not back up his employee. Because the official fist bumped a crew guy, right? So the crew guy and the official, I guarantee you they know each other. We're a really small sport. We all travel together. So we don't know what that dialogue was like. was like, hey, Casey, thanks for the explanation.

Fist bump. Hey, Casey, if we do that again, are we going to get a penalty? Yada, yada, yada. We don't know what their dialogue was before they fist bump. People go, it looks really bad. This official had no say in a penalty. The penalty comes out of a trailer. The trailer radios, the tower.

The tower radios the official. The official tells the crew, and guess what? The crew's already listening to NASCAR anyway. They hear it at the same time. So the fist bump of the official, the media people are blowing this so far out of hand. I've had an fish will come up being on the roof before and go, hey, Brett, you did this, this and this wrong, this is a penalty.

And I'll say, hey, man, thanks for the heads up, fist bump. Like, that gesture to me was blown way out of proportion last night by some idiots on the Twitter. But Twitter. You know, there's, I don't, I'm not 100% sure in how you, you don't, I mean, I don't know how you miss it that bad. But, you know, and the good thing about it is they came out and made a statement saying, hey, we missed this, but they're not hiding it.

So the fist bump thing's probably blown out of proportion a little bit, as you said. But those guys probably know each other. That guy, that official could be working, you know, anybody else's pit next week, and he's going to know them guys as well. Like I said, you don't know what that, what was going on. That guy might have said, thanks, you know. But I do. It doesn't, for somebody that doesn't know, it doesn't look good for.

It looks like they're giving it. Like, if you just come in and see that, if you just sit down, I saw that, and, you know, they're like, oh, well, the four should add a penalty. And then it looks really weird. It looks really bad. But, you know, it's just hard to, you know. The optics of it are so bad. But at the same time, these people that are saying it was so bad, no better.

You know what I mean? I mean, this Broomberg guy, whoever I got retweeted last night, I don't think he knows better. I don't, I don't know. But some of these other folks that I saw tweeting about it saying it's bad, it looks bad, but it's not bad. They don't have the context of beforehand. Right. Or afterhand. or the dialogue or the relationship.

I mean, you know, it's completely different than a stick and ball deal and the way those things operate. And TJ and I haven't had the opportunity to go into the NASCAR truck to see how they even call these things. I know that Jason Brownlow and we know people that go into that trailer and are sitting there looking at these monitors and they're watching it in fast-paced time and making these calls and they're watching multiple cars. They have X amount of cars they're responsible for. We don't understand all that because we've never sat in that trailer. You know, I miss a clear every now and then. I drive my guy into a wreck every now. And that's the human element of it.

So the fact that they missed it, I'm not overly surprised at it. You know, the fact that the crew guy and an official fist bumping is, I mean, what if they had hugged? Then what does that mean? What if he'd grab the guy's ass? What if they just shook hands? Like, what if they'd have waved at each other, like, real friendly? You know what I mean? Like, at what point?

Is there a, like, what are you supposed to flip each other off and walk off? Like, I mean, Cheddar, the car chief on the four, pulled up his fist bump, and the guy didn't leave him hanging is the way I literally look at that. You know, not? I don't, I don't really think this call changed the outcome of the race. I don't think it did. At what point in the race was this? I'm sorry. It's pretty late.

Okay. It's pretty late. But, you know, like, it could have changed Blaney's. Yeah. You know, that changed his race pretty big. Yeah. For a while, too. So, but, you know, they.

admitted it. I mean, you just pick up and move on. I mean, that's it's it. Yeah. All right. Well, you said your piece on this one, piano version of the national anthem. Was that a remix version of the national anthem? I didn't hear it. I wasn't watching it. It was a little different. It was a little different. You're not contributing to the show and you're not searching. I went back to look for a video of it by Ncini. I'm so sorry. You don't TiVo the race or anything? I don't have cable or anything. Remember that? The hipsters don't do cable. What?

What did you do yesterday? The auto fare at Charlotte Motors Bay. Oh, wow. Work, key work. That sounds really fun. You worked it? Yep. Oh, you're doing a little internship.

Yeah. They pay you? You get paid? Stipens. Who? Stipend. It's basically a payment. Is it a blow dart?

What? Stipend. Just like money, like they pay you at the end. I don't know the exact definition. It's just like a compensation, but it's not like your salary. So what if you were for like three months? We're like, yeah, we don't think you did a good job, see it. You're fired.

I think I'm good I think he'll be okay the national anthem was horrendous I've never heard a national anthem that bad in all my life and this guy sits down with this piano I was like man this is going to be really nice what about the NBA all-star game and then I was like but wait a minute we're in Texas

why are we listening to a piano like we should be listening to some badass country guys and then this guy starts playing this awful rendition of the national anthem because for me that's a song you don't change you don't add your own flavor I mean, that's written for freedom and, you know, everything this country stands for. And this guy just slaughtered this song.

Wait, what was the All-Star game? Who was that? Who's saying that? Remember that? It wasn't Fergie was. The NBA All-Star game. Was it Furgy? It was someone, yeah. It was Fergie or somebody just like that. There's somebody big.

Yeah. They butchered it. It'll be pretty popular. It's like when Roseanne Barr sang at that time. I grabbed a crotch and spit. And everybody's like, whoa, this is the national anthem. I miss that one. And I think that's my point.

It's the national anthem. Don't make it your own. It is interesting how tracks try to kind of compete with everybody else about like. Well, it's hard. They want to do something different. Yeah. You know, and I don't know. Would you be opposed to having Bristol Driver intro be a little bit longer?

It started a little bit earlier. It'd be a little bit longer and play like a few extra seconds of the songs or whatever. I feel like they're cut short. My issue with the Bristol intro is the music isn't loud enough. It's hard for me to tell sometimes. What? I can hear it. Where are you at?

Well, I'm usually right. Oh, you're right by the stage. Okay. But everybody in the Coliseum can hear it. I'm in the Coliseum, but I can't hear it. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. You're right by the stage, and there's probably a speaker right there. So you want it to be longer so that they can do more dancing?

I don't want to see dancing, but I just want the song to go a little bit longer. They just don't need to introduce themselves. Like they don't need to walk out there and be like, hi, I'm Brett Griffin. Like somebody else insane. I'm driving for this guy. Yeah, I'll be, I'd like you guys have a great Sunday. And then they all come up there and say the same thing. Like, let a freaking good announcer do the intro, do the walkout music.

Like, get the buffer guy to announce them and play their song when he walks out. I like that idea. Get TJ to announce it. Yeah, sure. It's fun. You know what I mean? Who was it with the anthem? I forget.

Yeah, it was for you. Yeah, y'all welcome. All right. Stenhouse crashes primary car in practice in three of the last four races. Man, talk about digging your team in a hole. I mean, I just, you know, a couple of them were probably, or all of them were probably good cars. That's tough. That's really tough scenario to put yourself in.

And he's got, I don't know what the deal is, is just trying too hard or what the deal is. but you know, you got to get through practice to race. And then, you know, to win the race, you got to finish the race. So, you know, luckily, you know, for them, they ran okay. He was actually doing exactly what he needed to do after crashing that car on Friday. He was running a great race. Then I think he hit the wall again off a turn two. And it's like you're running, he was running top 12 easy all day.

I think he was going to run anywhere between 8th and 12th. And after crashing your primary in practice and, and, you know, just surviving that race, you know, a good late restart or something, he finished a sixth. That's a shot in the honor of them guys who've worked super hard to last few weeks or, you know, last month. They've had a pretty hectic month. And it's not just the crew guys there. It's the guys in a shop, too. They're having to get another car ready, you know, but, you know, it makes it worthwhile when you can come out of there with a result still.

And, you know, okay, look, well, something does happen in practice. We can come out here and roll out and finish top 10 still. and race. So, you know, I think he really needed to come out of there with that top 10. I don't think they finished the race. I think he went behind the wall. He did with like 10 to go. Yeah, I was close.

There was a saying when Stephen Wallace was here that if you wanted Stephen Wallace to race his primary, you let him practice in his backup car because we knew he was going to wreck it. And he would wreck his backup primary car every single week and then bring the backup out. So I hate to tell Brian Patty the strategy, but he may have to. to start letting Ricky practice the backup car. That way they can race their primary. TJ's point is literally spot on. You're working your guys to death at the shop, at the track. I mean, it's hard. And you're putting yourself behind because you know that's not. I mean, the backup cars aren't backup cars anymore. You know, they're just basically the next car up.

His might be. It's a substitute car. It's the one coming off the bench. But you just hate to see that team, And, you know, Ricky finished 18 laps down at Martinsville, I believe it was, and he looked like he gave zero craps about trying to race. Like, you know, they got to change their mentality as a race team. They got to change it fast. Well, Bristol is a good spot. He's been successful at Bristol here lately. So this is a big weekend for him to come in there and, you know, get momentum back on their side. I heard this, and I can't confirm it, but I heard over the radio that Ricky said, hey, loosen me up.

and the comment was made over the radio, hey, we don't want you to loosen you up and wreck this thing. And he's like, oh, I can wreck it tight just as good as I can't lose. And he wrecked it. Well, hopefully, you know, stricter played teased pretty well last year. So hopefully. Ricky's a will, man. Ricky gets after it.

He drives really hard. And maybe he just needs to take 5% off during practice. Something after, I mean, he drove Talladega in Daytona last year really well. I almost feel like he came into Daytona, expecting to just outdrive everybody and race like that again, and it did not work out. And, you know, you can't just come in there and there was no sense in doing some of the things that were happening. And it just kind of snowballed downhill on them. But, you know, bristle's been a good track for him.

You know, so hopefully I'm sure he wants to get back on track. And I'm sure those guys would love to come out of there with the top five or top ten. The good news is we don't have, and I mean, the bad news is he's wrecked at short tracks. I mean, you're talking Phoenix, you're talking Martinsville, you're talking wherever, right? But when you look at what's coming up, we don't have a mile and a half is coming up for a while, and that's kind of in Ricky Stenhouse's wheelhouse. He runs good at short tracks, and he runs good at restrictor plate races. He runs good when the grue is moving here.

Yeah, he runs good when the grue is move around. Yeah. All right, this could be interesting. Restrictor plates rumored for All-Star race. Spot on, spot off. This is going to happen. They're going to put restrictor plates on these cars for the All-Star race. Like, you got confirmation.

They're going to knock, they're going to knock like 250 horsepower off. We're going to run the, I think we're basically running the Xfinity package from Indy and Michigan last year, or wherever we ran those packages. It was, I think it was Indy and Michigan, yeah. So I was told top speed is going to be around 170 miles an hour. I ran that at a dash car there. Yeah. So I don't, I don't know what they're trying to look.

It's going to look weird. Let me just tell you this. if they're trying to accomplish pack racing at mile and a halfs, you're getting ready to see a bunch of guys retire. Everybody over 35 years old is going to go, hey, I'm done. I've made my money. I've had my fun. I'm not pack racing every week.

I'm out. Do you think that's really, like, I think it could just be for a show, like, to make it different, right? It's a science experiment is my opinion, and if it goes well, and if it's entertaining, then they'll go back and consider. adding it. I'm not sure it'll be this year, but they're doing it. They're not doing it just to make it entertaining. I might be okay with it if it's just the also race. It's a separate race. You know, it should be, I would like to see these guys all, without going to Talladega or Daytona, I want

to see these guys race hard. I don't want to see the guy that, you know, that has the best car all year going there and just dominate the All-Star race too. I want to see these guys line up and close to equal cars and race it out. I'm okay with that. kind of like an I-Rock race. I think that'd be kind of... I think that's kind of cool. And if you can... You know, if you can do that

and somehow make it exciting, that might... That might give the All-SAR race a bit of a bump here, knowing that, okay, who's somebody in the Osr race that you wouldn't necessarily expect to be there? You know? Like, say, uh, who's in it?

Would it, would, like, a busher or somebody be in it this year? No, yeah. Yeah. Because he won last year. So, I was 16. Oh, so you wouldn't be it? So, depending on when he won. But I mean, there's going to be some guys.

I mean, say, say, but here's the thing. Does Busher deserve to run up front in an all-star race? Say, wins the open. Awesome, good for him. Yeah, but does he deserve to run up front because of a rule change? I mean, I think it's acceptable for the all-star race. I think you give the, to me, you're going to earn it. This isn't about the best guy with the best car all year long.

It's not the fastest guy. This is going to, I want to see these guys lines. up and know, well, man, I got to beat this guy straight up now. Like more driver versus driver rather than, you know, you could take most of these guys in the ostracists. You put them in the best car, they're probably going to win. I'm just, they're good, you know? The scientific part of my brain says add 300 horsepower.

Like Texas yesterday, we watched those guys run around there almost wide open. And that means, A, they're not lifting for the corner. B, they're not using much break. And C, they're in the gas 90% of the lap. So if you make them stop to make the corner, you go back to what racing was about, which is handling and man and machine. Like running wide open is a slot car race. That's not a NASCAR race.

That's not what this product derived from. So I just hope that this thing that's being put on the table, and they've not announced it yet, I don't think, but this thing that's been put on a table, I just hope it's not a big science experiment that goes extremely well because, again, I don't think a lot of our big name guys are going to stick around. I'm okay if it goes well and it stays at the All-Star race. Yeah.

I'll be down with that. I mean, I'm all four lining the All-Star, lining them racers up and letting them figure it out driver to driver like that. But I don't want a pack race every week like that. But, you know, I think we could afford to slow the cars down. But the problem is everybody's gotten so good that we can run these tracks wide open if we do. Yeah. And we didn't used to be able to do that.

Used to, we've creeped up a little bit, mile an hour every year, a little bit, a little bit, a little bit. And now everybody's gotten so good that if we saw them down, they're just going to roam wide open. You look at yesterday's race. We had two wrecks on restarts. Those were big wrecks. They took out a lot of cars, took out a lot of good cars. And later in the race, you're looking at the top 15 and you're like, man, there's cars in this top 15 that hadn't been up here all year. And it's because so many cars were torn up.

And I don't want that to become something that's free. one at these mile and a halfs. That needs to be, that whole strategy of plate racing needs to be at plate tracks, not at mile and a halfs. If the mile and a halfs are so bad, blow them up, build short tracks. You know, like if that's your problem is,

our mile and a half racing ain't good enough, well then stop. You got a big-ass racetrack, build a short track in the middle of it, and let's go racing again. Yeah, we could put a lot of variations of short tracks and put stadiums around them and make it exciting.

Yeah. You can take Charlotte right now, build a damn racetrack around a garage. You know what I mean? Come through the trial, we'll loop behind the garage, come right back through the trial. I mean, there are better solutions than this, in my opinion.

I'm Natalie Safer. Both Cup and Exfinity competed at Texas Motor Speedway over the weekend. On Sunday, Kyle Bush won the O'Reilly Out of Parts 500, making it his first cup race win of the season over Kevin Harvick. Bush still maintains the points leave. It was a dominating Saturday for the Blaney family. Ryan Blaney won the My Berriatic Solutions 300 NASCAR. Xfinity series race, while his dad, Dave Blaney, former NASCAR driver, won a sprint car race

at Port Royal Speedway later that day. Junior Motorsports drivers, Elliot Sadler, finished 8th, Michael Annette 15th, Tyler Reddick 23rd, and Justin Algear 35th. Junior Motorsports late models were scheduled to compete at Wake County Speedway, but Mother Nature had other plans. The race is rescheduled to August 25th.

Cool. Well, we're back. Let's head into Fastlane. I'll give these guys 30 seconds to answer questions and let's see if they actually make it. Was Texas the first cup race of the year? You can't read. Wow. You're wasting our time.

I heard there was like a time crunch and then I just kind of rolled it. UCF education. On the hospitality right there. Was Texas the best cup race of the year so far, T.J. No, I don't believe. Texas was the best cup race of the year so far. It was probably the fastest minus the plate track. But, you know, it was a good race, in my opinion.

There was a lot of the drivers were driving the cars, and the drivers had their hands full. They had to be, you know, strategic and precise a lot of times. And if you messed up, you lost a couple spots. But it was a good race, but not the best race. Martinsville was the best race. You're welcome. I wonder why.

DJ, who was your favorite? What was your favorite? You know, I don't know. I like tracks that move around. I think Fontana was a fun weekend. You know, I like Martinsville. I think Martin'sville was a good race. You had a guy.

You know, Kyle was right there, pressure in Clinton the whole time. Clint slipped up a little bit. And, you know, there's drama. There was drama to it, and it was exciting. And I think all the right things happened at Martinsville, too. You know, just a feel-good weekend, too. But I think there's been a handful of good races this year. Four team had pit gun issues on Sunday,

and both Harvick and Rodney Childers bashed the guns post-race. What can be done to prevent these issues? Brett. give the teams back their guns. Let us build our own like we were doing anyway. You know, I have an issue when NASCAR tries to tell us how we're going to spend our money. And just let us spend our money how we want. You know, this is like a parent making a crazy rule in the house for the kid to protect the kid.

When the kid's not a kid, the kid's a 25-year-old needs to get out of the day. I'm a damn house and go get a job. You know what I mean? Like, this is one of those things that just drives me nuts because I'm having to buy something from a supplier, and it's not functioning properly. and it's hurting my finishing position. It's hurting my purse where I'm making money. It's hurting my sponsorship sales department.

Why would NASCAR want this liability? I am, you know, I don't like the failures, but I think it's a trial and air deal still right now. I think we're going to, I think they're going to get better at it. To me, it's the same thing as buying your tires from Goodyear. Sometimes you get one that has a hole in it. You know, it comes apart, and it's not nothing that anybody's doing on purpose.

I think the guns will get better. from what it cost before. I don't know the exact cost between what people were spending on it, but it's in the millions compared to what we're probably, it's probably millions of dollars worth of difference in what we're spending on pit guns now. And to me, that's worth it. So number one, we can't build our own tires. So we can't really compare tires to pit guns.

Number two, the money was already spent on the pit guns that we had developed. So basically, they said, your money you spent on those pit guns, you can throw that in the trash. it worked for you for a couple years, but that product that you made so wonderful, I'm sorry, but we're trashing it, and here's some really shitty guns for $1,200 race. It's, they've got to get more consistent or they've got to give this back to the teams. I think this is so cool. Fans now vote on the introduction song, each driver walks out to at Bristol.

What would you guys pick for your driver, TJ? Oh, there's so many to pick from. I don't know. I'd have to think about this for a minute. You know what you'd pick right away? Man, I don't. I don't either. I didn't see this question.

I should have read it. Clint said there are two kinds of music, country and Western. That's what he lives by. So you have to give that guy a country song. Can somebody vote to have him like metal come out to like some rock song? Oh, if he came out to like rap or something, he would. and come out. Like, that's just not who he is.

And I mean, I appreciate that about him. Yeah. Blake Shelton's got a song out called Doing It to Country songs. You ever heard it? No, I haven't. Keep doing it. To Country's songs. I keep doing it.

To Country's songs. It's a good song. I'm going to find it. We're racing. That's probably why I'd have him come out. Brett, we race that night. We don't. We race that night.

I don't think they mean like. It's a race. I don't think they mean that kind of do. wouldn't it? I don't know what kind of doing you're talking about. I never know with you people. Y'all got dirty minds. So I would probably have to, since it's Bristol, it's kind of hectic. You know, I'm not 100% sure that, you know, what type of music Joey listens to. I would have to. He probably listens to like Frank Sinatra. He probably listens to that dude that played that piano yesterday. I think we would come out to something that maybe some ludicrous or something like that.

All right. Back of the word. You know, get out the way. That's a pretty good one. Yeah. I mean, it's Bristol. You got guys that are going to be in the groove and they're not going to move. So I'm kind of thinking like, you know, you need to get out the way. Yeah.

Say it. Can we say? No, no, we're not going to say that. No. What? Doing it, doing it. Doing it. So we were real quick off topic here.

We were riding under yellow yesterday. And I was telling Joey the lineup. And I told him who was in the outside of him, like the 42, the 18, he's like, oh, the door riders. And he's like, that could be a band, couldn't it? And I was sitting there thinking like, wow, yeah, we rode some doors here too. And he's like, I guess I'd be in that band, wouldn't I? So I asked him, I'm like, wouldn't you be the lead singer?

And he was laughing. That was kind of funny. That's funny. All right. Off the Wall topic, the Masters Post-Ritch. Which you don't know who won? We do now. Who was it?

Reed. What's Reed? Patrick? Is that? Yeah. I'm lucky. I forgot that. I'm so lucky.

Well, now I'm thinking Chad Reed, Ryan Reed, Patrick, at you, terrific. All right. You're so lucky. The Masters post strict rules for fans in attendance. Which is most likely to get you thrown out. What are the strict rules? Basically, you can't bring alcohol, you can't bring coolers, you can't tailgate,

you can't have flags or signs out. I don't want to go to this thing. Cell phones, no cameras, no yelling. What? This sounds like a lot of them. What's what you mean? This whole thing can go to that. We should just talk about that list.

Did you see that list? Oh, yeah. Of what you can and can't say? Yeah. Can you look it up real quick and just read us some? It's really funny. You can and can't say lists? There's like, there's like things you can't say on it.

They printed out a whole list of words that you can't yell. This sounds like a really fun place to go. I can't wait to go to the Masters. Wait. Wait. You really can't bring cell phones? Yeah, no phones, no social media. Why?

They're weird. Yeah. Doing it. Doing it. We got to get to the... We got to get to the course. When it gets to the course, I'll play it. All right.

Hang on a second. I got the list up here. Okay. Can you just read it? Yeah. Dilly, dully, baba booey, mashed potatoes. That wasn't it? We can't say mashed potatoes.

Nope. You, duh, man. I love Martha Burke. What? Sweat the leg, Johnny. Sweet delay, Johnny. Anika Sorumston loves trapeze. Free meek.

Free mech. This is not even English. Dinklage for president to infinity and beyond. Did they learn this for McPherson? Jimmy Carter eats peanuts. Hey, security, can you pick me out of the sea of people? RIP, Harambe, nobody eats the whiz. Brandles, my daddy.

Bikini wax. Drive at Miss Daisy. Rock and roll. Oh, Blank band should be in the Rock Roll Hall of Fame. Can you hear me now? Hashtag. That's it. Doing it to country songs.

So is like, are we talking racing? Yeah. That's exactly what we're talking about. We're doing it tonight. Racing in Bristol to country song. That's what it is. All right. Need to speed it up a little bit, though.

Blake to play that. Side note, do you think they, like, I hope people actually said all of these things just despite. Yeah. So I think Dilly Dilly got more popular. What does that mean? That's like the Bud Light. Yeah, it's like, remember back in the day we're like, what's up? This is like the new one.

Oh, interesting. I mean, that's kind of such a random list, too. I know. Let's see what's going to get me kicked off. Alcohol. You can't drink. I'm out. No coolers.

I'm out again. Tailgating. Yep, kicked out. No flags or signs. I don't do that. No cell phone. That ain't a bad thing. No cameras.

Why can't I have a camera? No pictures. No social media. Digital and social must be horrible. Why would you not want people? I guess because... Distraction. I guess because, yeah, I mean, the clicks, some of them don't turn.

Yeah. So, and I could see where, I mean, if you're playing the Masters and you're golfing, you dang sure you don't want to hear that. If I'm golfing, I'm drinking. Because I'm horrible to golf. Well, you're not at the Masters then. There's a little trick you can do to your golf club. You go out and you get you some Vaseline or chapstick or something,

some nice lube like that, and you take it and you rub it on the head of the club and then when you hit the club it goes and it hits the ball straight it takes all the spin off the ball so if you have a really bad hook or slice don't let your buddy see you do it and don't leave too much on your fingers because you'll look really weird when you scratch parts of your body

but you take that lasoline and you put it on the club and you completely become a better golfer it's got to be legal probably there's no way that's too clearly clearly legal he didn't say anything about lasaline in his rules right there but Jimmy Carter is peanuts

Yeah, I can't say that. What is that? What is that? I mean. He's from Georgia, I guess, but that's the thing. Oh, who's Jimmy Carter? I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. Good Lord.

All right. He was a president in the 70s. He did so many wonderful things for this country. History lesson right here. That was sarcasm, actually. Let's head into Ask DBC. People need to submit more questions for DBC. I saw a bunch of questions.

A few good ones. It's a lot about cold weather. Well, that's the first one. Cornwit asks, how different would Kyle Busch's career have looked if he'd never left HMS? Whoa, he didn't leave. And how much of a fire was lit under him by being dropped by them? Okay, Cornwick, you just asked if he'd never left, and then you see him was dropped. I rearranged the question a little bit, so he did.

Well, you screwed that up. Why are you being so rude? Because he's 20 years old, and he needs to learn how real world. He already has an internship. I don't teach him. We're going to teach him on this show. But they're not paying him. He's going to grow up.

Whatever word of you. We're not doing participation trophies on this show. stipend? Yeah. They're not going to bring those words up again because I don't know what they mean. T.J. If Kyle Bush didn't get fired from Hendrick, would his career be the same better, worse? What do you got?

I think Kyle would have been on the same path no matter what. He was, he was, uh, He's talented, man. I think, you know, you put him in Hendrick cars, you know, we're still top-notch at that point. So, you know, they were probably the best cars then. I think he would have almost the same exact Kyle Busch. I think it would have just been fun to watch Jimmy Johnson

and Kyle Busch race in the same equipment because they truly are two of the greatest stock car drivers to ever live. When I watched, you know, Jeff Gordon win races and Jimmy comes in, and all of a sudden, Jeff Gordon can't run with Jimmy Johnson. And I watched him hire Dale Jr. And I'm thinking, Dale Jr.'s going to get over here and set the world on fire, and he didn't. And then I watched him hire Casey Kane, who I thought was going to get over there and set the world on fire, and he didn't. Did they win races?

Did they make the playoffs? Were they consistent? Absolutely. But they weren't Jimmy Johnson. I think it would have been fun to see Kyle and Jimmy in the same stuff because it's fun to watch Kyle and Carl and Matt and, you know, Denny, when they were all over there in the same stuff. You know, it's a little bit bigger of a gap when you look at Suarez and what they got going on now. But I think that would have been the fun part.

I think he's still going to win races, and I think he's still going to win championships. And I think he would win even more championships if he would just mentally get a little bit tougher, like where Jimmy is. Jimmy's an amazing guy when you look at the mental aspect of the sport. Kyle gets rattled and gets into stuff that he probably doesn't need to be. You know, it's just extracurricular stuff. You don't see Jimmy doing any of that, you know, and that's, um, Kyle has the ability to drive anything. He's amazing.

Yeah. Yeah. Did Gordon win? That's an interesting Twitter handle. Who was the best up-and-coming driver that made it to cuff and fall out? Ooh, there's a bunch of them, man. I got to say Casey Atwood. Because he came in with a lot of hype.

And then when Ray got the Dodge deal and left Hendrick Motorsports as a crew chief, and started his own race team, and Dodge gave him all the backing, literally all the financial backing he need to go out and build a successful Cup program. Had Bill Elliott, had Casey Atwood, and we all thought Casey. Casey Atwood drove the number 27 Castro car. I don't know if I said that word to your liking or not. But he went out and drove that car and he drove it well and it wasn't a great team.

So we thought when he got to Cup in a great situation, he would do well and he didn't. But you know what we see so many times in this sport? And I think this guy had a little bit of it going on. When the driver makes it to cup, his dad will not get away from him and give him an opportunity to be his own guy, be his own driver. But the dads are so invested in their son's careers because they're with them, literally their whole lives. But when you get to the cup level, you can't have your dad getting on the radio.

You can't have your dad in the holler all the time. Like, it's just the synergy of the sport at the cup level doesn't support that. And I think Casey was one of those guys that his dad was probably a little bit too much involved. And I think it distracted him. And I think there were personality issues. But, I mean, that's probably my guess. Yeah, that's a good one. I'm trying to think of, you know, there's, I mean, there's a bunch of.

There's Leffler. Yeah, I mean, he. There's Leffler. There's Reitz Ornson. I mean, I look at somebody that still races now. And not that he's flopped, really, but, and the dude's a wheelman. Like, JJ Yaleie. Yeah.

Dude won seven. That's a good one. Seven Silver Crown Championships. I mean, seven. He's like a legend in that stuff. Yeah. You know, and just, I know it's a different type of car and stuff, but, I mean, people don't know that part of JJ, and he's, I mean, they don't know.

But to win a championship in that stuff, and it was tough then, too. I mean, he beat a lot of good people. And he got in the 18 car. You know, Reed Sorensen got into a Gamassie car. I mean, I hate to say. the word flopped here. Yeah, these aren't really flopped because they made careers. They just weren't successful.

And you thought they were going to be. Well, I mean, you thought they were going to come in and have a 10-year career and win races, and they didn't make it. Yeah, I wouldn't say, I don't think flop's the right word. I think just wasn't as successful as everybody thought. Didn't meet expectations. If you get to the point where you're going to the Cup series, you've been pretty successful already.

You've already been successful with something and shown some talent. So, you know, I don't think flop is a very good word for that. Meg Nilsson asks, in honor of National SAT Test Day, oh, I hated that day. On April 10th, what was your favorite subject or who was your favorite teacher and why? So two-part question. Should you take the SAT? Yes. You know, the score is all screwed up now.

Yeah, it's different, right? Like I think 1400 or 1600. It's 1,600 was the most you could make when I took it. I think it's 2,400 now. Yeah, it's 2400. Yeah, it was like writing or something. But you got like 400 points for signing your name. You obviously got that wrong.

I'm pretty sure I was around 12. 12? Yeah. Out of 14 or whatever it was. Yeah, I think it was around 14. I made a thousand something, like 1,080. Yeah. I did really, really good at math and I didn't do well at English.

I'm really, I think I was, I'm really thinking I was in 11-hunter's like right under 12. I wonder why. That's not bad. That's really good. I was horrible at test-taking. My best teacher was my second grade teacher, Ms. Curley. She was so sweet. My worst teacher was my sixth grade teacher, Ms. Perkins.

She was mean and she didn't shave her legs. And that freaked me out. Brett. She would wear pantyhose and have hair sticking out of her. Put that too funny away. She had a panty hair sticking out of her legs. And then I had this one teacher that didn't shave her armpits in college. Why are you showing us your leg?

Because I'm showing you all what hair looks like on legs. Imagine me wearing panty hose. But then I had this one teacher in college didn't shave her arms. and she would literally wear a shirt. You could see her armpit. I'm like, lady, that's nasty. I feel so bad for these teachers that had you in school. Got Willie Nelson going on under your damn arm.

Were you a horrible student? I was a wonderful student. I was a teacher pet. You know how likable I am, though. I'll go up by a social society's teacher in pretty much 9th through 12th grade. He was a race fan, so we talked racing a lot, and his name was Mr. Dixon. He was an awesome teacher. Did you ever make a...

Well, I got busted. I would get busted because the Duel was used to run on Thursday. He busted me listening to him. I brought my Walkman in. Yeah. And I'd hide that on my shirt and stuff. He's like, what is that? What's a Walkman?

Exactly. So, you know, you'd run that. It's our version of an iPod. Yeah. What was the first thing to come out, a little bitty one? Mini. The iPod mini. Nano.

Oh, no. No, the nano. The iPod was first. The big old heavy metal was. Yeah, they were heavy. Yeah, they were heavy. Yeah. You could circle your thumb.

Oh, the shuffle was one. And then the other one started coming out. But, yeah, you would, a Walkman, yeah, would have an FM radio and AM on it. And you could, you ran the cable up under your shirt. He busted me listening to it. Literally in the middle class, and I'm not looking. I'm just kind of sitting. I got my hand over my ear, you know, and I got the little earpiece in.

And he's just talking away. He was like, he just looked at me out. I know he was like, you're listening. to the races, aren't you? I'm like, me? No. And it's kind of a joke. It really wasn't funny then, but, you know, we still talk about it.

Whenever I message him or we talk about it, we always talk about that. So I thought that, you know, that's something. Social Studies. What exactly? Who came up with that name, social studies? Isn't it like history? Yes, it's history. Yes, it's.

Well, it's social. You sound like a pilot, isn't it like history or something? Oh, gosh. We got seven minutes. Seven minutes. All right. Limit. Okay.

Well, we might as well take all of this to rant. Are you guys excited for Dash for Cash to come back? Yes. I'm pissed off. I'm not in it. I finished fifth on that. So who is the Dash for Cash guys this week? Custer.

Christopher Bell. It's not pre-sizzen. He's not full-time. Yeah, he's not full-time. I thought that too, but he's in it. He's in it. I don't understand. They're like they're...

He's not running all the races. I think he's declared full-time Xfinity Point. even though he's not running all the races. That's not fair. Yeah, I heard that too, and it was kind of messed up. That's stupid. And then hemrack, right? Yep.

So, yeah, that's not right. If Brian Priest is eligible, that's stupid. Somebody missed a rule there. Yeah, I don't. You should attempt all the races. You've got to be a full-time guy. I mean, yeah, I don't know. I mean, these guys, I don't know, whatever.

TJ's not in the race. He's like, whatever. Yeah. I mean, to me, it should be the guys that were running all year. It should have been Matt Tiff. I mean, that guy's running all year. Yeah. Honestly, it should be if Matt Tiff was the next extended again.

We're not mad at you. You didn't make the rule. We're just saying the rule stupid. I'm thinking about why. I don't, yeah, I didn't really think about it. Because somebody's stupid. That's why. Oh, man.

Why is Ryan Priest eligible for Dash for Cash? Because somebody's stupid. That's how. When I first heard him, I was like, God, that can be right. We're getting right. Everybody get out. All right.

Picks. I got, you got to go first. I do. You know what I'm going with. No. Wait a minute. Actually, hang out. I might change it now.

You got to go. Let me see what you got already. We got to 40. They can back off. Well, they knew that you guys can talk forever, so. Oh, man, we've used a lot of heavy hitters. We have. I think you should pick Trevor Bain.

Yeah, okay. I'll tell you what. I'll take Sennhouse. You take Bain. That's a good. good, me. They both run good there. Nah. Let's do it. I'll take Stenhouse. You take it. No, I got Stenhouse.

Yeah. I lost last week, so I got to screw somebody out of a pick. Pick somebody. I'll take Stenhouse. You're going to take Stenhouse. He ain't going to finish on the race this year? Man, I've already used Larson. That sucks. You've used everybody good. Yeah, your strategy was not great this year. I'm a two-time winner.

So my. Eric Jones, Eric Jones, Eric Jones. I thought you picked him. Did you not? Nope. T.J. I have. TJ did. We're off to Bristol. You driving or fine? I'm driving.

Yeah. Friday morning. It is nice. Yeah. You want a ride except like 7.30 Friday morning? Be there. I'll probably be there. Probably watching the Masters.
