Jason, are you sick? I'm a little bit sick. you got. Just a cold. It's a great week with all-star racing and everything. I'll be working all weekend. Still six. You need on a body condom or something, dude.

I don't want to catch this. A what? A body condom. I should have my own bubble over here. Have you ever seen that show the Naked Gun? The movie The Naked Gun? No. The old school movie, yeah.

That's like a put it on your watch list, you kiddos. Naked Gun is funny. Have you watched any of the movies we've put on your watch list? Not yet. What do you do? He was busy. The semester just ended. He was just on Twitter being promoted for like all the work he's doing.

I think he's pretty busy. A little busy. It's work. I know. That should be partially work. The semester descended, so I'll have some time to catch up on some movies. You make straight a ace? I did.

I gave you a shout out, man. I'm proud of you. Thank you, Brett. You made a 4-0? Yeah. Second time. If you had two of my semester together, I made a 4-0 once. That's 4-0.

I don't remember ever making a 4-0. I blew a 4.0 one. I feel like that is not something you should be promoted. Oh, God. Well, he went driving. 4.0 is good. That's really good. TJ, that's perfect.

What do you think Josh got? Negative four? Oh, yeah. I wonder how he graduated. Did he? Maybe he didn't. Just a good chance he didn't. How'd you get sick?

I don't know. Scores? I don't think you haven't been to a strip club yet, right? Should that be our 100th episode? Yeah. We got to wait. We'd have to sneak him in. Still got a year.

No, you said 18, right? Yeah, it's 18. Did you get in? No. No, you can get in. You get in at 18? Yeah, you just can't drink. You can't if you take many bottles with you.

I mean, to each their own, you do. I've never done anything like that. But we need, so you leave for Kentucky in a little bit. Man, what? We're testing Kentucky tomorrow. My race team is leaving at noon today. I'm the complete opposite. I'm leaving at 9 o'clock tonight.

Yeah, I'm still working on that, but whatever. Hey, late, one day late, happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there. Yeah. I think that it would be idiotic of us, not to mention that, considering that women do all the work in this world. This is true. It's true. It's pretty. This is true.

Yeah. This is true. Being a stay-at-home parent every now and then babysitting your own kid, I've realized how hard it is to take care of kids. You probably have. So, you know, this is, yeah, so moms, you know, it's amazing what you guys do with kids and stuff. The fact that you carry that thing in your body for nine months. Oh. It's amazing.

And then, like, my niece just had a baby. Her name's Natalie, and she popped out. And I'm like, what? Wait, what? How did this happen? You have kids. I feel like this is the first time. Pop out.

You mean it came out and pop out. Just like show up. Yeah. You know. Yeah, but still, that thing's just crammed in there, man. Yeah, it is. I mean, when we, when Tamil was painted with Malin, she, like, cracked one of her ribs. Yeah.

Her foot was, like, up there kicking her and stuff. I couldn't have. imagine that. Could you? No. It's like an alien thing, man. It's weird. Oh, it's moving.

Alien thing? Yeah. Jevi was being born and the doctor's like, you know, her head's going through the birth canal. Come feel it. I'm like, no, I'm not feeling that. Well, yeah, come feel it. I'm like, no. How do you feel that?

I don't want to feel it. How do you feel in the birth? No, she was outside of her doing this stuff. Oh, you can tell. I don't know what to do with my hands. Remember that in that movie? I'm like, oh, no, I'm pretty good. Just see back there.

Yeah. I'm going to take another Xanax and I'll see you guys a couple hours. Did you not watch? Did you not watch any of yours? What do you mean watch? Watch. Watch it. Like watch watch watch it.

Hell no, I ain't watching that. Are you kidding me? He's just like, oh, I've watched all of them. I did. I watched both. I don't want to know. Yeah. Just changed the subject now.

Yeah. Brett, you ran a 5K. I did. I ran a 5K. We, uh... You just got back from running. You're still sweating. I know, I'm sweating.

There were eight of us that did it. Seven of us were spotters. The other guy was Brad Little, who we've talked about on the show a lot. He's a bus driver for Denny Hamlin now. We have two fatal injuries. Freddie Kraft blew out his ankle in his knee. Herschman blew out both knees. I finished in 30 minutes, 20 seconds, which was, I'm sorry, 30 19, which was 20 seconds off my goal. I wanted to be sub 30, but there was two big ass heels that nobody told us about. I think Tyler Green ran at the fastest in like 24 something. He ran good. He weighs 160 pounds. I weigh 20, and I'm 42.

And he's about 10 years younger. He's more than 10. I'm 42. He's got to be 26, 27. Yeah. But I was happy, man. It was fun. It was a really cool.

My first little race doing. You should have seen those guys come to the roof. The guy, the Herschman. He was a wheelchair. Bad grandpa. He came up very limp and like, he was bad. It's real bad. It was really rough.

Well, they have 5Ks all the time at tracks now. You can start doing one. So then Blake Shelton tries to be a and tweets out the picture. of our group picture, making fun of my headband that I have on. But then outside of that, he creates all these text threads with common friends that we have. And he's putting me in, like, gifts with Richard Simmons, and he's doing all these other things, and he's calling me all these inappropriate names. And so I thought it was over.

And then yesterday, he started it all over again with the same people. He just said he can't let it go. But it was really fun. I think TJ needs to, we're going to do another one. We're going to do it in Kentucky. Yeah, right. Okay. It's called the ice cream run.

So you run 5K and then you get free ice cream. I'm not big on ice cream. You can keep it. You need something else. You can keep it and the 5K. There's another one called the sweaty baller in Daytona. It's a four-mileer on the beach. Oh, yeah.

The two hottest races of the year you've mentioned. That's what you pick. That's at 7 a.m. Why can't you do one in like Michigan or something like that? So me and Jason Jarrett, who are both older than T.J. And heavier than T.J. We're going to do it. So I think you should do it with us.

Yeah, probably. Not. I'll probably wait for you at the end. We'll have a cheerleader section Oh, y'all are lame And y'all are skinny, just do it You're too creepy looking to run with If I can do this, anybody can do this

There's like a... I need a bar crawl. That's what I was just about to say Isn't there one where you run like a mile And you get a beer? They do want in Charlotte like that Yeah In Noda or whatever

I feel like that could be a fun time That's definitely something I could get into Yeah, we should look that up The problem is these 5Ks are on race day though Yeah, that's... We got done there like you guys want a protein drink. I'm like, I want a beer. I'm like, but I can't because I got a race in eight hours.

Yeah. So, man, Herschman. He looked bad. Herschman's in a mess. I just texted him this morning. I'm like, dude, are you any better? And he's like, not really. So he's like, I think I got Bursitis.

I'm like, you got Burs something. You bursted something. Bursitis. What is that? Bursitis. I don't know, but it looks bad. It looks painful. Oh, yeah.

What is your like, I mean, you run a lot. So do you have like a, are you training for these things? No, I just run to run. So I can eat and drink whatever I want and not get fatter. But now I'm going to try to do a little better because I see that I finished ninth out of 29 people in my age group. That's really good. So I don't feel awful about it, you know. I was like 99th out of 300 people total.

But when the pregnant chick passed me, I'm not going to lie, I was like, I heard something coming. And it's not like a cheetah. You know, I was like, damn, I'm getting called. Somebody's catching me. She comes by me. I'm like, damn, she's pregnant. And then I was like, she's real pregnant. Like, she's not like a little pregnant.

She was at least five months. I'm not sure I want to do this now. I know. This is making me look horrible. She went right. So then I was like, man, I got to keep up with a pregnant lady. Like, this is embarrassing. Oh, God.

How about died? Literally. Like, I lost my breath. I was like, so I had to slow down and I just had to regroup. I think that's why I didn't run it under sub 30 because I got caught up racing a pregnant you. You're doing a very bad job. from promoting this.

I know. You should be talking about how great it is. I think we're talking about Bursitis, almost dying, passed by a pregnant woman. Real pregnant.

Anything else? Real pregnant. You mean the kid was probably running too? Yeah, the kid was in there. The visual I just got. The kid was on a little treadmill inside of her fueling it.

Yeah, you know how telling me ribs she had broke after that deal. Oh, gosh. It was, it was fun. Did we race? Yeah.

It was a few days ago now. It was like a 230 lap. Not great racing. You ran out of gas on Friday night, too. Yeah. So did I. Yeah. The truck race was, man, I'm telling you, the truck racing is pretty phenomenal.

I mean, those guys are three and four up there. I'm hoping. I'm hoping this is similar to what the All-Star race turns out to be. Yeah. Even though I know it's a different racetrack and the racetrack's been repaved, so it's probably going to add into it a little bit. Yeah. And if they drag the race track,

racetrack. Please don't drag the groove. I've heard they've done better at that from the Charlotte test our Exfinity guys did. Please don't drag the very bottom where the cars run all the time. Right. Drag. Spend like an eighth of the time on the bottoms. The higher you go up, spend more time.

How can they not have common sense and do that? Well, most people don't have common sense. Yeah. Look at Jason. Yeah. Poor kid. Look at Herschman. Jason, are you street smart in addition to this book smart thing?

Absolutely. I would say... He is book smart 100%. Look at him. Both. Combination of both. Yeah, I know. That's badass.

It's hard to be both. It is. I would say a little bit of both. Yeah. I mean, I got a lot of smart people I know. And they're not really smart. He hasn't been in a position. I know.

They're really smart. The true test is when you get put in a spot to make a bad decision. Do you make the bad decision? I do. I love it. It's so fun. You know, the best story, you start with bad decisions. Yeah, you've said that a couple times.

Yeah, they do. I mean, it's about true. Yeah, I love them. I'm so sorry. It's all right. What kind of bad stories you have? She crashed a golf cart at Dover. What?

Did you crash the golf cart? Tell us about this. I did? You put on your Insta story? Oh, I broke it. Yeah. Thank goodness I had already gotten off. I mean, you gave a 100-yard ride.

Okay. Seriously, you guys are the worst. It was like 300 feet and you acted like I was about to kill you while driving this golf cart. Apparently you were. No. You crashed a little bit later. I broke the steering wheel. Oh, is that awful?

When you hit? No, I was turning. How hard were you holding it when you hit? Well, I was racing. I was somewhat racing. You're sweating, man. I'm hot. You are sweating.

You're pushing water. I ran three lines. Well, he just ran. That don't matter. I mean, he's working out. He's a controlled environment. Every guy listener that we have on the show is going to Nashville the weekend after Labor Day in hopes of buying y'all some shots. I mean, by all means, I just don't want to pay for anything.

I'm going to call the bar and just buy you around. Over the bomb. TJ's tight ass is not going to buy you a shirt. That's true. You wouldn't even give you a t-shirt. He just said that's true. I'm going to have Brett's credit card and we're going to call the bar. Can you just put our dad, just close the tab for us, just pay for it?

Yeah, probably not. Why not? Probably not. I'd like to have our Bachelorette party we can sponsor. This is possible. How about like you do a day, Brett, you do a day? How about a round? How about a day?

You just said there's going to be 20 people. The only way this gets sponsored if it gets filmed. Oh, well. Yeah. Parts of it can be filmed. Is it possible? All of it needs to be filmed. If you want a sponsor, there has to be filmed.

Well, we'll wear shirts or something. That's not going to be any fun. We've already lost our sponsorship. Yep, I was going to say, well, that's a, that's where. I just pulled mine. It's out. That's the beginning of the show. Anyway.

All right. Shall we head into spot-on, spot-off? Yeah, let's do. Spot-on, spot-off. Blaney Larson Crash while battling in top five with 20 to go. I mean, I hate the fact that they got into each other, but I'm going spot on. You know, Blaney is racing hard.

He didn't do anything wrong, in my opinion. He got up there and just misjudge a little bit, and the second time that he hit him wasn't intentional. It was just how the cars hit and where they were on the racetrack. kind of swung them back up into them again. But, you know, we need some rivalries and stuff like that. But, you know, I hate it that they got together like that and both took them out.

I mean, Larson was able to rebound, but it really hurt Blaney's race. And, you know, I didn't like that part of it. Dear Ryan Blaney, you were my pick last weekend. All you had to do was outrun Denny Hamlin, which you were easily doing. And you managed to screw that up. I think T.J. is spot on for his side on it. I mean, obviously he's a Penske guy, so TJ can't go against him. But he was racing extremely hard at that point in the race.

I think they probably thought, based on the long green flag runs, that whoever prevailed with the lead there was going to be able to get to the top and not let the other people behind them get to their right rear, force them to go underneath them, keep them freed up, which would make it extremely difficult to pass. And I think by doing that, Blaney was doing everything he possibly could to get the lead back from the fastest car in the race. Blaney led, Harvick led, and when Larson got the lead, it was almost lights out.

So I think Blaney realized for him to win the race, he needed to get the lead there, and he did everything he could, and he wrecked himself, and he wrecked Larson. Larson came back, as we all know, to a top five finish. I think he ended up running third or fourth. But it's really unfortunate for Blaney because now not only did he not win the race, he didn't even finish the race. So he gave up a lot of points. I mean, I don't know if I can go online and say this on the record.

But anyway, if I were a NASCAR fan, I could gravitate toward a guy like Ryan Blaney because he's a common guy. You know, I mean, I realize he's a NASCAR legacy guy, you know, but I've always tried not to pull for the favorite, you know, which in our world today is Chase Elliott. And you don't know, I don't ever try to pull for Cinderella because Cinderella usually sucks and doesn't win races. This guy is, you know, a good kid, fun kid, knows how to have a good time, doesn't mind going out drinking a beer, doesn't mind going out and trying to win the race. So spot on for the show that these two young guys finally put on. We've been hearing about these young guys, and they finally showed up. Ryan's about it as normal of an everyday guy. You could, you know, and he, I mean, he's just normal.

He's a good dude. I really, I think Ryan is. I mean, on the track, he's doing really well, but also from a, what are you doing? I'm waving at Kathy. You have, like, the worst ADD. You can't sit. That was the worst wave, too. That was like parade wave.

That was a parade wave. I think he's also, I mean, he's so close to win. Like, it is so close. Who? Ryan, he's already won. I know, but this year. Yeah, he'll get, he's fast. He'll win some races.

Yeah, he's up there. Sorry, I'll try to prove a point. I'm, jeez. I'm not mad at you. T.J.'s, I want to be so aggressive towards you. All right. Chase Elliott and Stenhouse run into each other post race. Spot on, spot off.

Man, uh, I guess Chase is just mad because Ricky slid up in front of him. And I'll be very honest with you. I watched the replay. And Ricky, had I been driving the nine car, would have been head on into a wall somewhere. Because at that point in the race, you don't let that guy in. Ricky, was he clear? Yes, Chase had a huge run coming at him. And when you make a block that late and the guy behind you has that much momentum,

you're taking your fate and you're putting it in someone else's hand. Ricky actually should have hug Chase. When Chase come over there mad, he should have hugged him and said, hey man, I love you. Thanks for not wrecking me. I know you should have. And instead, I don't know what the verbal exchange was, but Chase should have been mad, but at the same time, Chase probably shouldn't have cut him a break because I've seen guys come through here, like Johnny Benson that had a lot of talent, but they were too nice. And when these guys are too nice, they don't usually become stellar winners and stellar drivers. Here's a guy with

eight second place finishes in the past couple years, needs to break through with a win, but you don't want to be Mr. Com all the time. Sometimes you've got to be Ricky Rudd and be like, Hey, dude, get the hell out of my way. I think Chase should have sent him. Did you see the replay? I didn't see the replay, but... He chopped him, dude, super-duper late. I bet Chase was running 15 miles an hour faster than he was.

Yeah, that's... I don't know, man. You're taking a big risk when you do that. Larson did something... He did that to us earlier in a race. But he did a slide job. He did it us, too. But, hey, it was early.

Early. Not early, but it was midpoint. It wasn't worth... It's not worth sending them. No. No. I mean, honestly, I was pretty impressed that he made the corner still. Jason's got a really good topic here.

And I think T.J. Aaron and I are overlooking it because we're talking about the scenario that led into it. Running into each other post race. Let me tell you guys something. These crew guys have a lot of hours in these cars. These body hangers have a lot of hours in these cars. These crew chiefs have a lot of hours in the wind tunnel. Now you're going to choose after the race to tear these cars up. Come on, man.

Like, if you do that, you almost should have to be the one to fix it yourself. because here's two guys they're going to get out of this car. They're going to go to their motorhome. They're going to take a shower, and they're going to get on a private jet, and they're going to fly home. In the meantime, these crew guys have to clean these things up. They got to get them loaded. They got to get them back to the shop.

Now they've got to hang a new right side on them. If you're going to hit each other, do it during the race. I don't agree with all this after race crap running each other. If you're going to hit each other after the race, don't do it with cars. Yeah, I mean, parked by him, go talk. Spot off on hitting each other post race via via via. nickel. Yep. Matt Kenseth to the rescue for Roush, spot on, spot off.

Boy. He definitely didn't come to the rescue. Back to reality. I think the biggest thing to say here is Trevor Blank-Bain showed a lot of maturity over the weekend, and he probably looked the best he's looked all year, and he wasn't even in his fire suit. And that is because that car ran so poorly. It was in the mid-20s in practice.

It didn't even get a chance to qualify. It went out and got lapped in the first 30 laps before the competition caution. He got the lucky dog. He got lapped again in the first stage. He finished two or three laps down. Trevor Bain ran better at Dover than Matt Kenseth ran in this car at Kansas. So now I think we see a big shift in focus. It's let's look at the engineering on the six.

Let's look at the crew chief on the six. Let's look at the way they're hanging the bodies on the six. We know it's not the drive. driver now. We thought, and I can tell you, man, I've been, TJ can tell you this. I've been on teams where the crew chief and the crew wonders if the driver can still drive. And they wonder if the driver still wants to drive. And then you take a guy like Trevor out who, let's all be honest, has probably had a lot of questions hanging over his head for the last two years. And you put a top 10 guy in, Matt Kenseth won 30 plus races, champion, you know, rookie of the year. He's a stellar

guy. And he can't even stay on the lead lap. He can't even run in the top 20. it's not your driver now, guys, so now what are you going to do? Yeah, I mean, I agree. I still think putting Matt in the car is going to benefit because Matt's going to help. I think he has the ability to help that program get back to, you know, find speed and get to where they're more competitive. But definitely, definitely, I feel like, I almost feel like Trevor would have ran a better race. That track probably fit. I didn't think we would be saying this.

I think that track fit Trevor's driving style more as far as running up against the wall and stuff. I don't really look at Matt as being a guy that runs up by the wall a lot. Trevor, I think, can do it. I think Trevor's decent at it. So, yeah, I was definitely interesting to see how that played out. Ricky ran 16th, you know, and certainly didn't have a great showing, but that's 10 spots better than Matt ran all night. You know, this car is, I just think you just saw the shift from, is it our driver? Is it our driver? Is it our driver? Uh-oh. It may not be our driver. It's probably our cars. Because

fast cars go fast. Matt Kenseth obviously got in the car. He couldn't make but two laps at the time and practice. I mean, I'm sitting up there watching it as a fan and as a guy who appreciates Matt Kenseth's talent. And as a guy who also thought, we're getting ready to see how good this team is. And I think they showed us. They have a lot of work to go back and do. And here's the thing, too. I mean, the Ford camps in general, you know, all four Stuart Hoskers are in the top ten. The Penske cars are in the top ten. So it's not a Ford problem. It's a Rouse problem.

Reports say NASCAR is interested in selling 40% of his steak. I'm spot on for what appears to be happening here. But if I'm going to come in, and when I got here, you know, and I've been doing this for 20 years, I read an article in Forbes magazine after I've been here a little while, and it said NASCAR's reported net worthers around $26 billion. Okay, well, let's assume that hasn't gone down. let's assume it's gone up 10%. If there were $30 billion and you're looking to sell

40% and you say, okay, that's $12 billion. Are you going to come in and pay $12 billion and not on majority stake and not on controlling interest and not on the board of directors? Like you've got to be looking at a pretty serious return. You've got to be a pretty large private equity firm with a really large portfolio.

We're talking $100 billion to make that worth your investment and your risk to come in when you see the TV numbers and you see the attendance numbers. And I'm going to be honest with you. I could be entirely wrong when I make this assumption. But when we did this TV deal, it was a 10-year deal. It was big money to NASCAR. And it took all of our races off a network.

And it took a lot of the races off a network. And it put the majority of them on cable. How do you expect your sport to trend upwards when you just put it on a smaller stage? So when I see attendance numbers, and I see viewership numbers. I think it's because of the TV deal. And I say, wow, less eyeballs are watching us on race day because less people have cable than they have networks.

So I really feel like the overall, and I know that wasn't a question, but I feel like the downward slide that we're kind of on from a viewership standpoint is backed into the TV deal. And I wonder why we aren't looking at maybe reversing that with these networks because these networks also aren't recouping their investment because they're not selling the ads for the numbers that they want it because the viewership isn't there. If you put us back on network TV, I think it fixes a lot of our problems. But if I'm looking at spending $12 billion to buy something or even $12 to buy something at 40%,

I want majority say in it, you know? There has to be more to it, honestly. I feel like there's some facts that we're not getting yet. I mean, yeah. What are they? You know, I look at his opportunity. you know, they've said that they're not leaving. So I think it, I look at the opportunity to bring something else in there

and maybe make changes or whatever that are going to be different and better. You know, I think there's a lot of room to grow, and I think there's a lot of, you know, positives that can come out of it. So I'm looking, you know, I'm interested in seeing how it plays out there, but I don't, I'm not necessarily against it or, you know, have anything negative say for it. I think the room to grow is there now, though. Well, I think, I mean, look at all the changes they're making ARCA and how they might sell

sponsorship moving forward after 2019. But what is the room to grow? The room to grow was RTA, you know, the teams getting together and forming an alliance and saying, hey, we want more say, we want more power. And the reality is, if race cars don't show up, we don't have anything to watch. So the owners were trying to get leverage. Well, then the NASCAR said, oh, you want leverage, watch this. We'll do a multi-year deal with all our tracks, which we've never done before.

We'll do two and three years out on the schedule, two and three years out on the money. So now the team owners are going, well, we weren't going to get any of that. So the revenue sharing that you are seeking to get his team owners was shot. But when you talk about the opportunity, I think T.J., what he's probably saying the opportunity is, is maybe we look at a shorter schedule. Maybe we look at shorter races. Maybe we look at going to more short tracks. That opportunity is already there.

Like, we don't need a new owner to come in and a new, you know, capital investment group to come in and give billions of dollars for that. opportunity to be there. It's already there. I don't think we have to wait on new ownership for opportunity. You know, what we've changed over and over has been things within the model. It's not been things that are big picture things. It's been, you know, points and as stages and its rules and its spoilers and splitters and it's, it's all that stuff. And that's not the thing that changes the fan experience. It's just like EFI years ago. We spent millions and millions of dollars to go from carburetors to EFI. Well, that didn't change the experience for the fan other than the smell. You know, they used to smell it more with the carburetors.

Now you don't. And it didn't change what they see on the product. You just cost the teams millions of dollars for no changing the fan experience. So the opportunity side that TJ is speaking to, what are we waiting on? I think we're just waiting on, you know, I think if you bring a group in or somebody that has ideas. Me and you have ideas. Or more assets. I mean, you don't know who's.

We're not going to buy. We're not going to be able to buy it. They should buy us. They should pay us to come in and give ideas. I'm waiting for the phone to ring. I just buzzed. Yeah. Gotta go, guys.

Just got called in. Wow, it should be interesting. I think this goes back to something that we talked about the other day that Jason was dinging me on. Like Dale Earnhardt, here was a guy with a big voice. And we saw other guys come through and they didn't, Jeff Gordon, like, where's he at? Is he in these meetings? Is he trying to help guide the ship? Like, I don't know.

It's weird. We all want it to succeed. We all want it to do well. We all love it. I'm telling you, the on-track product in these three series. right now is as best it's been since I've been here. The races are great. Agreed.

TJ, are we doing this fan day thing again where we're going to come out and do this live show? Apparently we are. Friday, May 25th. Jason said it's around 1130. That's it. Junior Motorsports. TJ and I are now the main attraction since Del Jr. retired.

Unless Casey brings her hot sister Nikki. That's our special guest. TBD. Yeah. I've got one of those little pools you can bring from Walmart that you can get a water hose and run like water in it. A kitty pool? Yeah.

I think we should all sit around on that and do it live from a little kitty pool. On the stage, we'll just put a pool out. Because it was hot here last year. It was hot. I'm open to that. Yeah. You're open to that? You know wearing like bikinis and stuff?

Yeah, I'll wear one. That's exactly what I was hoping for. Yes. Fan Day, May 25th Junior Motorsports. Are we giving out anything, Jason? We might. We'll have to ask Mike Davis. Oh, Mr. I'm a free budget guy.

That's probably not happening. What can you steal, Jason? Anything in the gift shop? We have a whole gift store of stuff right here. Sure. Fan day, come see us. Yeah, it should be fun. It was a fun time last year.

Is Dale Jr. going to come out again? Yeah, his show is recording after ours. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. We should actually, he should be before. Guys, make sure you. So we're like the opening act. Yeah, make sure you stick around for his.

Don't leave when we're done, please. Make it. Well, that's what happened. That's probably, yeah, yeah. Don't leave when we're done, make him feel bad. Yeah. All right, let's take a break. This is your Exaltor Race Center update and on Casey Hames.

Kansas Speedway was off the epicenter of the NASCAR road this weekend as both the truck and Cup Series hit the 1.5 mile over. In trucks, Noah Gregson rebounded from his Dover mistake and drove to his first win of the season at Kansas, becoming the series fifth different winner of 2018. The Cup cars took Kansas by storm on Saturday night and once again, Kevin Harvitt came out on top. past Defending Cup Series champion Martin Truex Jr. on the next to last lap to notch his series leading fifth victory of the season. Truex took second, followed by Joey Logano, Kyle Larson, and Denny Hamlin rounding out the top five. The junior motorsports late model team tested at First of the Motor Speedway. J.R.M drivers Josh Barry and Sam Mayer ran in the top three

on the speed charts in preparation for this Saturday's short track U.S. Nationals Cars Tour event at Bristol. This has been your Exaltor Race Center update.

They each have 30 seconds to respond. First one. What was that? Let's go. Okay. Kevin Harvick has now won five of the first 12 races. Which driver would you pick to replicate the same performance if it couldn't be your driver? I mean, I think the smart choice here is Chase Elliott.

I mean, we all want the needle moved. And I was watching golf yesterday because Tiger Woods was in the top 10 and he moved into the top three and he's birdie and holes. And I don't watch golf, I think it's the most boring sport in the world to watch. And so I think if we could get our main guy, you know, here's a guy. who's run second eight times, I think we said earlier. He needs to be winning races. If he can win five of the first 12, I bet we got a buzz going on around here. Since you chose, I'll choose Ryan Blaney.

He's been so close many times as well. Good for the sport, too, when he does well. And he handles that stuff really well, too. I think Ryan is a down-and-earth guy. We'll talk to anybody. Normals can be. Like him a lot. He's a good friend, so I'll choose Blaney.

If I weren't going to choose Chase Elliott, based on the fan vote thread that I read the other day, somebody sent out, who are you voting for? And it was a lot of Chase Elliott. And it was a little bit of Matt Dippenandetto, if I'm saying his name wrong. I apologize, but I would change my last name if it was a person. But my other guy would be Bubba Wallace. I think he's getting a lot of traction. I'm seeing our fan base in the stands being more diverse than they've ever been.

I'm seeing more diversity in the garage. Freddie Kraft, who spots for Bubba is a friend of mine. He's had a lot of diversity folks reach out to him wanting to meet Bubba. So, like, I think Bubba would be my next guy. And he's not going to win five races with Petty. Let's be honest. But he'd be cool to see. Bubba's a good fun dude, man.

Really is. Yeah. DBC broke the news on the All-Star Race Rules Package with Restrictor plates and Big Spoilers. What should fans expect during Saturday night's race? T.J. Well, Brett broke the news. So blame Brett. Hashtag blame Brett.

I hope. hope, you know, I hope it's a lot like the truck series. I hope we can draft. I hope we can make it a good competitive race. You know, I want to, it'd be cool to have to go there and spot it like a plate race. I hate to say that, but I think that'd be pretty awesome. Yeah, I mean, I think that NASCAR's trying to get the cars closer, you know, for whatever reason, we've seen the pass in the grass in the past, and we've seen a lot of really close racing to end the All-Star race, but the last 10 years hadn't produced that. But that short segment, I think, is one of the reasons why 10 laps sitting a lot.

The car with the freshest tires and the lead usually drives away. I think you're going to see 33 second lap times, 170 miles an hour, wide open through the center of the corner. If we see a lot of grip, I think we see a lot of side-by-side racing. But if we don't see a lot of grip and the speeds are still too high or maximum grip, we need to see the grip fall off a little bit, is what I'm trying to tell you. Because if the grip's the same, they're going to go to the top and they're going to haul butt around that racetrack like a slot car.

So we don't know what we're going to see. We're going with four different setups with the Hoss cars in practice to see which way we need to train. Hey, hey, hey, geez. Sorry, I got excited. Man, yeah, I hope the tires wear out big. We're not going to be going very fast at all. But we got to wear them tires. There has to be some benefit or, you know, some sort of, you know, going away, speed, you know, of handling issue.

So please wear the tires out. 20 cars wide open. Hammer down. Get some. I cannot wait to watch this one. Where are you going to watch from? TVD. Maybe.

Maybe. Maybe. Why wouldn't you have an all-star party? Yeah. The kiddie pool. Have a party and I'll come when it's over. When it's over? Maybe.

I might be there. Nikki, yeah. Why would you go to the track? Why would you not want to go? I'd want to go and see this. Charlotte has done two things this year to make it to attract fans too. What are they done? Well, they've made this different role package to make the All-Star Race

kind of unknown exciting. And they've put a lot of work into that road course. I mean, that's going to be interesting. Yeah. It seems like guys are having a hard time, you know, controlling, having a lot of grip there and running that track. So that might make it exciting. Yeah.

I think it should be fun to go and watch. Hey, they're trying to make it exciting for the fans, and I can appreciate that. Absolutely. I think you should have a party. You should have a party. Yep, you should. I'm going with that.

Consider it. Deal. You guys have to come after, though. Listen, I'm down. Oh, man, we should have done a contest. A prize winner could have went and party with you. I can't sleep after races anyway. You get too jacked up.

We can do a Coke 600 party. I've got to work for that. That's too long. Yeah, but afterwards. After, exactly. Memorial Day weekend? Are we taping Monday after Coke 600? Tuesday.

Yeah. Boat Day. I won't be there, so have a foot. Where are you going to be? I'm going to win a midget week, Chad. You skip more shows than anybody I've ever met. Let's go. Oh, please.

Midget Week. What is your favorite? My bad. Tell us how you really feel. What is your favorite All-Star Race memory? What exactly do you mean by Midget Week? I knew this is going to come up. It's six nights of racing in seven days in Indiana.

You know, Chad races a Midget Sprint car? Oh. Yeah, not what you're probably thinking. I was thinking like, you know, Miami. I forget it. Just go. I don't know where your head was out for that one. We're going to continue on.

We're going to continue on. We're going to continue on. That's the Austin Powers music. Oh, it's a race memory. My favorite all-star race memory, man, I'll be honest with you. I really just loved the special paint schemes that guys did for so many years. And then we changed the model and we started satisfaction. saturating the sport with special paint schemes all the time, you know.

And I've seen a lot of sponsors do a lot of great things. You know, with Citgo Petroleum, we did the Muscular District Association paint scheme on Labor Day weekend to support the Jerry Lewis Telethon because MDA was one of their big things. So, but just back then, man, you know, Del Earnhardt was what always run the special paint scheme, the silver car or the Bass Pro car. And it was cool to see those paintouts, you know. I think, um, I do. missed the fat, I do miss

the consistency of the same car. Like you knew when you saw that Rainbow 24, it was Jeff

Gordon, no matter what. And that's the car you went to see all the time. And then when you got to

the Austin race, it's like, oh, what car is it going to be in? What car is going to be in? And then it was

like, bam, there it is. And it was special. That car instantly became something you remembered. I do miss that,

but I don't really know if I have a favorite All-Star race memory that I've ever been involved in. I've never won it. So yeah, I've never wanted either

I'll say this though And certainly at the time wasn't my favorite memory We started an all-star race And it started raining And they took the green flag And they went into one and everybody wrecked Half the car's wrecked Jeff Gordon being one of them

And we didn't wreck We were starting far enough back that we didn't get in the wreck Because you're screaming they're wrecking And so we were backing down And he went in and brought out a backup car And they fixed the backer backup car. NASCAR gave everybody two hours to get their backup cars ready. And they unloaded them and they all, it was all hands on.

You know, every team member from every organization was just helping everybody out. And they got that car out there and Jeff Gordon went on the All-Star race, won a million bucks in a backup car. And looking back at that, extremely impressive because I know now how hard they work on this race and how innovative people try to be. When you look at that T-Rex car, when you look at some of the cars that Greg Zippaelli bought, you know, brought with Tony Stewart, they're very innovative. If they try things they wouldn't otherwise try,

and I know we're going to run over here on this time, but TJ can tell you we saw Sam Hornish come around there in the number 77 Penske car years ago, and I thought he was wrecking. There was that much skew in his car. His right rear was stuck out two foot compared to his right front, and that's because they were trying things in the rear end to get the suspension out,

and when that right rear steps out, it creates more side force and downforce, and it makes the car go faster. And I literally, when he came off a turn four, keyed up my mic to say, the 77's already wrecking because Sam did wreck a lot. He wasn't wrecking. They had that much skew in the car.

He went on to win, the open, transferred into the All-Star, had a fast All-Star, something happened there. But that's when we almost started seeing that whole trend towards skew in the car, skew in the car. And then NASCAR went, we got to get skew out of the car. And teams kept figuring out new ways to get skew in the car. So I think the All-Star race has been very innovative as far as rules go. I think it's really cool.

And I don't know if they still do this, but this is the one race where they incorporate teams. drivers. Supreme Court strikes down federal anti-sports gambling law. If states go ahead to allow betting on sports. Yeah. Remember that thing we just said?

T.J's got breaking news on his phone. Like, this is what we need. We need betting at the racetrack. Awesome. These states need to open up betting windows. Why not? They need to. Why not?

You'll have some fun. Casey, what were you saying? Breaking on DVC? Betting windows. Well, that was actually ESPN that broke that. Whatever. Close enough. We're going to break the fact that we're

We're going to open a bedding window. Ourself. We're going to have a camper. Pop up. Pop up. Camper. Jason's going to run it. We're going to have a little pool that we talked about.

Kiddy pool. Yeah. Done. What I was saying was they incorporate the teams, which is the one track or the one race that they don't usually do that into intros. And everything else that they do, it kind of is like a team effort more so. I mean, it is every weekend. But they highlight the teams a lot, which is cool. I think they.

introduce their own people sometimes. So they, or they don't include the other ones. So they introduced the picker guys. What about the guys that are working on the car every week all week? I don't know how that works. I feel like it varies, though. Those guys are the ones that are, they're the ones turning the wrenches every week, you know, and they're the ones on the cars, you know, and these picker guys are,

our pickers, awesome and stuff. But, you know, these, what about the guys turning the wrenches and stuff? Yeah, I feel like the driver, yeah, I agree. with you, man. I think the driver intro portion in general at the All-Star is the best of anywhere. But it makes me say, why isn't it that good everywhere? Yeah. It almost needs to be that good everywhere.

And the TJ's point, like, take a few guys every week and highlight him. Here's Clint Boyer, along with his interior guy and his shot guy and his lead engineer. Like, you could bring him out as a band almost. Well, and that's the same thing in general. Like NBC does the All-Star pit crew deal, which I feel like it should be everybody.

I mean, the engineers, the guys that are at the track and at the shop every weekend. It's another topic. I mean, it's just crazy. And clearly I can only speak to the social media stuff that we're all tagged in. But it's pretty surprising to me the amount of people that tweet TJ and I that say, you know, my favorite driver retired and I listen to you guys now. And so I think that that doesn't say anything great about me or TJ. It just still says that people in sports gravitate to personalities. and entertainment.

And they are listening to me and TJ for a reason. And that's because our personality is available on things like this show, things like Twitter. And if they like that, they're going to gravitate toward it. So the same thing could exist for other people. And when you broaden that human interest story, you broaden your fan base. Just makes sense. We've got a lot of cool guys on the 22 team itself. Like, there's some really good guys.

You got Raymond Fox on there. What a great story that guy is. He is. Really good. His dad, you know, was buddies with Robert Yates, built engines. and was Robert Yates' godson and worked at Robert Yates racing forever and was a crew chief. He's a racer, too, man. He's a good dude, man.

I like him. Awesome guy. Yeah. But again, I mean, those are the kind of guys that have gotten lost in the shuffle and his dad's in the Hall of Fame. Yeah. You know, and here's a legacy guy that's kind of lost. Anyways, either way, all series should be cool.

Yeah. It's always fun because it's about the fans. It's about the local Charlotte area. I'm looking really forward to this one with the rolls and stuff. I think it's going to be fun. It's a home race. It's crazy. Off the wall topic.

A Texas man was sentenced to 50 years in jail for stealing $1.2 million worth of fajitas. Shut up. What would you want to steal $1.2 million of? Oh, God. Are you kidding? I don't even know what to say about this. For me, it's Miguelo Ultra. Yeah.

Stella. Stella. Yeah, sure. Yeah, sure. That's why I named my daughter that. I don't know. We need to go with something more expensive, though. I was thinking of blocks of gold or something that way gets some bay.

50 years of jail for fajitas. Is this real? It's real. ABC News. How does he still 50? How do you steal that many? But how do you, I don't understand, like, is it just, he just grabbed fajitas and they were worth one? You were selling them?

I don't know. It didn't specify, but over the course like 10 years. What is the goal for this? That's 100,000. That's over $100,000 dollars of fajitas a year. I mean, maybe he was reselling it. That's a lot of fajitas, man. Wow.

Oh, gosh. Wow. How do you even steal that many fajitas? You could eat a fajita every other day and still not spend $100,000 on fajitas, I feel like. Does he, like, resell it in his food truck or something? I don't know. What would you steal, Jason? Probably like pencils.

Number two pencils. Yeah, exactly. I'd steal, like, a bunch of cool video cameras to do some video stuff. No, what you need to steal is a VHS player. Are you going to a midget week with Casey with your video cameras? He needs to steal some of these movies we talked about, watch them. What would you steal? Oh, I want, you know, diamonds would be so great.

Oh, my gosh. Can I get some like diamonds? I'm just kidding. I have no clue. Chick-fil-A and resell it for less money. There's a chick fill. Resell it for less money. What do you think?

Nicky was still. Soccer balls or something? I don't know. She's a soccer player. Yeah. Oh, yeah. You've been stalking your Instagram, so. I have it.

You should know that. You looked it up. You said you followed her. He doesn't even have an Instagram, but followed her. I just did. She's got 2,000 followers. That's a lot. She's popular.

Oh, really? Yeah. Like that up. No. You were the one told me how to find her. I never got to that point yet. Oh, God. Skip it time.

Yep. All right. Five minutes. Listen to Ask TVC. Thank you, Jason, for coming up with some solid questions off Twitter, and thank you for those that asked. At PETM podcast asks, wreck damage aside,

is Larson's run some vindication for Chevy, or does that lay out at Kansas just offer a unique opportunity for a driver with Kyle's skill set and desire to ride the cushion? Wow. That was a handful. These 240 character rules now. So basically he's saying was Larson's fast run vindication for Chevrolet based on how non-competitive for wins they've been? Or because of his experience with, you know, riding the cushioned on a track.

Yeah. I think a track like that fits Kyle Larson's driving style to a T. You know, I watched the World of Outlaw race last night. He ran it like he ran Kansas. Yeah. You know, so I think there are certain tracks where I can just, we can tell you. when Kyle Larson is going to be super fast and hard to beat. When the groove moves up, good luck beating Kyle Larson.

I want to know more about this rear window thing before I can honestly answer this question because I saw some photos after the race and his rear window was dipped a lot, which creates a pretty big downforce advantage back there. Yeah, the spoiler. You know, his claim after the race was that it happened after Blaney ran on his side. I have a hard time believing that if I hit T.J. in the knee, it's going to make his eye black and blue because the proximity of one another are not very close of one another. You know, they hit us with a fine last week over a window brace thing. We passed

laser inspection, but they said our window brace wasn't rigid enough or a broke or something, so they fined us $50,000 in 20 points, even though we passed the laser test. Now, that laser test is supposed to be your, you know, are you legal or illegal? So this car clearly wouldn't pass a laser test. And they took it back to R&D, which they wouldn't normally do a fourth place car either. So they didn't like something that they said. You're talking about the Cupside? Yeah. What about the Xfinity deal?

Justin O'Gyar pounded the fence off a four. I mean, pounded it coming into the checker flag. And I don't know what the infraction was, but that was, that hit right there to me could have moved body parts and panels and stuff and shifted stuff over. How did he hit the fence or did we just hit him? No, he hit the wall. Did he? Yeah. Coming to the checker last week?

Someone hit the wall. Yeah. He did. I think it was kind of a little bit of both. Justin hit the wall hard. Yeah, yeah, he did. I was trying to win. I wasn't paying attention to.

He hit the wall really hard and then got an infraction after the race. I don't know what it was, but that... They're supposed to take that into consideration. Right front to a left rear wheel contact and the guy blows a tire. I'm sorry, that probably doesn't, in my opinion, have a lot to do with the window. People know where speed is. Come on. I mean, it's...

Everyone wants it at his Dow Force, like you were saying. Yeah. I mean, not to not answer your question, man, but I think Kyle is, to TJ's point, really good. I think he would have ran good there regardless. I think so, too, you know, and I think that at the same time, we see that Chevrolet has some work to do.

Edger Wood asks, Are you sick of seeing side-drafting mishaps? Edger Wood. I think that's... Man, I'll say this. You know, the kids that have come along are doing it on. my racing.

Edgar. It could be Edgar. I'm really sorry. It's not Edgar. It's edger. It could be either way. How do you know? It could be how Edgar is spelled.

Maybe it's Edgar. This is my other Twitter account that I used that nobody knows this means. He asked questions from him. You have the last question. I send questions to hashtag Ask DBC. I think the side drafting mishaps are out of control, but I think that it's just the evolution of racing. and these kids are watching these veterans do it and do it so well.

And so they've started trying to simulate it. And then the truck series, if you don't do it, you're not even competitive. So they're starting it in the truck series because they're able to create so much drag on the guy that they're racing and hold them down. And so I think it's just every series that they get up, they've got more and more practice with it, and they're doing it more and more and when they misjudge it, it's creating Rex like Gregson called when he. calls when he race solder, like Blaney calls when he race Larson.

Like, I think it's just the way that the driver evolution has come. I don't, I'm not really sick of it. It's part of racing that makes these guys close. It makes them get close to race. Imagine if you could just stay 10 crawlings away from each other and pass a guy, that'd be boring as can be. So I think it's good. Yeah.

Our big boss just walked in. He did. Did he flip a saucer? Give us a piece of a look. He looked well rested. Yeah. He'd been changing diapers. all night.

He's been babysitting. That's right. You know, I was tell Junior if he still thinks it's babysitting. Yeah. Meg Nilsen asked, with prom season

wrapping up, do you any of you have crazy prom stories you can share? Nope. Do you? Oh. Do you, Jason?

I went to prom two years ago, but nothing crazy. Yeah, anything interesting? Yeah, what did you do? Do you wild? Yeah, it was crazy. You play Scrabble. I actually got really sick

the night of prom just from like. Oh, you were nervous. No, just after. Did you have a date? Did you ask somebody? I asked her in like December. How did you ask her?

I made a sign. She was a big fan of One Direction. This was two years ago. And so I found this really creative sign online and then made it. And she loved it. No, no, no, no. Exactly what the design said. I remember it.

Oh, you do too. You know. TJ, in his defense, like the whole prom thing now is how are you going to ask and how are you going to put it on social? And, like, they're being judged on how they ask these girls to the prom. That's a big part of it. I'd be like, yo, you want to go? All right, cool. Yeah.

This is so lame. This culture of these millennials. Are you a millennial or what are you? I don't know. Like, in between, like, the not yet a millennial, but, like, still with the next generation. It still counts, I guess. Have we named y'all yet? No, I don't think so.

Are you going to think of one? Yeah, I got one in mine. Man, we actually just told the story yesterday at my mom's house. We went home for Mother's Day. And my mom wasn't home for my senior prom. My mom was at the beach. She had a small craft business. She ran there.

So the after prom party was at my house. And we had, you know, seven or eight couples that came. Well, my buddy, Mark Tucker, Watermelon brought a girl from Hartville, South Carolina. And she was drinking vodka like it was water. And I was like, have you ever drank vodka before? She's like, no. And I'm like, you need to slow down.

This isn't going to end up here. So we went to dinner. And we went, you know, responsibly. We went to the prom, which was at our school. very small school, 140 people graduated, went to the little dance thing, did our thing, came home to the after prom party at my house. That's where we started having some cocktails.

And I was like, Mark, this chick's going to get sick in my house, and I ain't cleaning it up. And so she goes in my bathroom, and she goes out. Crawl in and wake this chick up. She starts throwing up everywhere. And I'm like, tucks, that was what we called him. And I was like, man, you got to get this chick out of here. She wasn't from Pageland anyway.

We're all a bunch of rednecks. You know, we all hung out together every weekend. But man, that was probably, I'm really glad my mom's here in the story. This girl listened to the podcast. I'm really sorry. Her name was Becky. Yeah, that's what she did. Yeah.

Her name was Becky something. She was super cute. Stop locking the door when you go in the bathroom. Geez. Yeah. You're going to pass out. Just, God, Lord. I mean, look, we've all been young and fun and dumb.

And I don't know. Some of us are smart about it. Some of us are. I don't have any crazy problems. I mean, I don't think an 18-year-old enough. to get too crazy, are you? I don't know. I mean, you're 18s.

Somebody told me the other day, drinking age, should be 18. And I was like, you're crazy. And I started thinking about it. And I was like, well, it is in Canada. It almost would help it because it's so far away when you're 18 that you do it because it's so far away. Yeah.

You can't do it responsibly because you're like, ooh, let's party. We're not supposed to be doing this. I don't know. Well, yeah, that's probably more like what it is. Yeah. No, nothing, TJ? No, I went to probably three proms, maybe.

You didn't drink, Gear Cup, too, classy. Not really. Yeah. I got to go to the junior prom, I think. Is that what it is? The younger one? There's two proms, right? We only had a senior prom, but you could get asked to see me.

Yeah, I got a girl asked me to go with her to the junior prom. I was a senior. She cute. She's all right, yeah. Did you ask you any creatively? I'll stay out all night? I just went wherever she went to all their friends. Just stay out all night?

Yeah. No. The answer. Nope. I did, but no. So when we got home Saturday night after Kansas, it was prom night here. And I couldn't go sleep. At five in the morning, kids were still coming and going at my neighbor's house.

Wow. Man, go to bed. What are y'all doing at five in the morning? Yeah. I was probably out that late. We all got hotels. That's how we did it. Yeah.

You think you, I had a, my graduation. Let us get hotels at that age. There wasn't a hotel close to us. You think you had a small class. I graduated of 75 people. Yeah, we were 140. Wow. Yeah.

I had way more. Yeah, it's, I had 1,500. Well, I knew every kid in every grade. We don't do DBC picks for All-Star race. Last year you picked, does anyone for fun if you want to do that? I included the list of All-Star guys. So I'll go with a, it's, it's just for fun. I mean, it's for fun.

why wouldn't you pick? You can go for whoever you want. All right. Go ahead, loser. Plate racing machines. I'll go with, I'll go with TJ. I'll give him some street cred here. See if Lugano can get a win.

I'll go, I'll go Brad. Pitsky's so good at our other plate stuff. You have to wonder what they're going to be able to translate into it. He's been quick lately and just hasn't had a result. I feel like he's getting ready to break through. So, yeah. All right, anything we want to rant about? I don't think we have time to rant.

No, we're getting kicked out. Adele Jr's here. Yeah. Got it. When your big boss gets here, you get the hell out. Okay, well, you guys come up with some fun ideas for a hundredth episode next week. Yeah. My fun idea is Jason brings Chick-fil-A.

I don't have any money to bring Chick-fil-A. He's in college, so... Not anymore. You said he just graduated or whatever, didn't you? I finished my sophomore year. Oh, my bad. So, like halfway. Still broke.

Yep. All right. Well, thank you guys. Thank you, One Mean. Exalta. All right. Have a great week. I guess we'll go hungry.

I brought Dunkin' Donuts. For whoever tweeted out something about like, Jason stuck his hands in. He's got a freaking hepatitis C or something. He's gone on. He's over there. I'm not touching anything that's been touched by somebody that has chlamydia or whatever he's got. I'm out.
