This is Dale Jr. And you're listening to Dirty Moe Radio. This tire always makes me nervous. This is, I think, the same tire that we had a problem with that the test a year ago in Kansas. The Dell Jr. download starts now. With Mike Davis, I'm Taylor Zarzer and Mike. There's some frustration right now. A lot of bad luck.

Obviously, more than anything, it's not, they have speed. Yeah. You know, I mean, that's not the problem. but a lot of frustration right now among junior nation because when you go out there and you feel like you have a car that can win the race and Lord knows they had a car that could have won the race yesterday and you finished back in the pack both times they were in Michigan that happened let 34 laps the first Michigan race finished 37th led 20 laps yesterday finished 36 how's that for you if that's not a kick in the you know what and what's amazing is is this has happened four or five times this

year. I mean, you think about Charlotte where they had a pretty good car. You know, you think about both of these races, either engine failure or tire failure. And again, I know that Hendrik has the best of the best in everything. I imagine there's going to be some frustrating times this week in the shop. Yeah. And you know what? I know there's a lot of people that probably expect us to sit there and make excuses and, you know, and say the PR thing because I'm a PR guy, but don't think for a second that I didn't sulk yesterday. I certainly sulked. I mean, you and I were texting back and forth. That was frustrating. And I don't even know what to liken that type of disappointment to. I don't, you know, I don't know. But when you know that you're so good and then have something

happened to you, that is just so demoralizing. And it took me about an hour after the race just to even collect my thoughts. But when I did Taylor, and when the reason kind of set in, here's where we know, as long as we're racing, and as long as we're pushing the limits on. all the equipment. And as long as we put air in rubber, this stuff's going to happen. Nobody is immune to it. We're all susceptible to it. And a good example of that is Jimmy Johnson, as great as a year as he's had. He has been bitten by these freaky little things as well, even yesterday. So I think the good teams, and this is the voice of reason coming in, the good teams know that that's going to happen through 36 races and they've got to overcome it. They've got to endure it.

That's a good team. There's no question. There's adversity going on. Junior's drop from 6th to 7th in the points. He's 20 points in front of 11th place. He was Casey Kane, who of course holds that first wildcard spot with a couple of wins. Juniors lost 38 points to 11th place in two weeks. We'll hear his post-race comments in just a moment. A lot of people are frustrated, but it was good to hear the confidence in his voice. You'll hear that coming up.

And Bob Pockris talks about the point situation, Sporting News Racing Reporter, who probably could buy Hawaii with his frequent flyer miles. He will join us to talk about the point situation. tires and the chase coming up. Let's hear some clips here, Dustin. Let's, early cautions here, clip one, junior climb to third place by the time the third caution flew on lap 13. There was a lot of wall contact, but it was the 14 and 36 car, 36 car.

I said that last lap you ran, it was driving a solid race there, man, doing a good job. Stevie needed a mountain do or something there at the beginning. I almost thought that what's somebody done with Stevie? He's too quiet. I don't understand. Junior's even like, hey, I can't hear you, man. I mean, what's up? Yeah, you're doing great.

Yeah, Ken, I got to say some things about the tires here in just a moment. You know what? I got to say it right now. Okay. There's nothing to say. Dale, Dale, I'm going to say this several times today. Dale Jr. is a good wheel man. Steve Lutart's a great crew chief.

You could argue the 88 crew is the best crew in NASCAR. You honestly could. In 2013, who's had a better season? than Junior's pit crew this year. They've been phenomenal. It's been great. And this is not an engine problem here. I know we've had engine problems this year,

but it's got to be a terrible feeling to know that you think there's a real chance you might have a right tire problem going into the race. You do a lot of things to try to prevent it, and it still happens. And the response you get is, well, you can't have a tight race car. Do you want to win?

Right. You have to have a tight race car to try to win at Michigan. You have to have it dialed up. You can't have a loose free race car. You know, at Michigan, if you want to go 200 plus miles per hour, the response that you get from the tire people is, well, don't build a tight race car. Would you like to finish 29th and just drive around?

Is that what they said? Basically. I actually, I didn't know that. I was wondering if Goodyear had a response. In fact, I was going to ask that to Bob Pockrest said. Their response was is you can't be too tight. Well, oh, okay. You know what?

We'll just drive around. I mean, come on, man. How many teams had tire failures yesterday? Oh, many. Three or four? Oh, yeah. Yeah. You know, I don't think anything you said is, I mean, hey, that's a natural reaction.

And I think everybody's entitled to feel that way. I don't know how I feel about that yet. You know what? When I don't know what to feel, I call people that, do know what they're talking about because I never do. And I did call our tire guy Rob Lopes this morning. People know him as tire guy 88 on Twitter. Yeah.

And I said, you know, Rob, I'm trying to make sense of this. You know, what do I do? And he said that, you know, basically junior's comments, which we'll hear in a bit, you know, the team did do, take some extra measures to cool that right front tire. They changed the ducting in it. But that being said, this is something to remember. Taylor. We don't know yet, or we may never know, what exactly caused that tire to go down. It could have been something he ran over. It could have been something that a part on the car that

broke that caused it to go down. Dale Jr. said, you know, how he diagnosed it, or he said that there was a slow leak, and as soon as he hit the brake, you know, the splitter may hit it. We don't know. So it's, to blame Goodyear without knowing exactly what caused it. Well, this is what Pockris wrote yesterday. Okay. Good Year officials said the drivers and teams that blew right front tires were all complaining of tight race cars and likely just punished them to the point of failure. Well, yeah. That doesn't go down easy. I disagree.

I disagree with that. I think that the 88 team, I can only speak for the 88 team. I think they took whatever precautionary measures they could take. Right. And still had it happen. And Jr. is not happening. That's why I said what I just said. Yeah.

All right. Let's go. What's funny is that that clip had nothing to do with tires. That was just a caution. No, no, no. There's just things building up. Okay. Let's go on the next clip.

And we'll hear the next clip and I'll probably say something that has nothing to do with Dale Jr. taking the lead on lap 54. Well, this was a significant moment in our race. Let's hear it. One of the highlights. Let's hear it. Stay away from her here. She's outside by herself.

There's no pressure in your mirror there. All right, there you go. Taking the lead there. And there's a lot of people that were pumped, obviously at that point. Yeah. I don't, again, I don't know if. Steve, he needed an energy drink yesterday if he was concerned about what was about to happen because it happened to a bunch of different people yesterday, what that is.

But you could sort of hear now looking back, maybe I'm being a conspiracy theorist here, Mike. But it sort of sounded like there was some caution with Dale Jr. and especially with Steve during the race before all this happened. I could see where you would say that, although it was still very early. so it wasn't time to do cartwheels yet. But it was just, I mean, it was nice to see Dale Jr. take the lead and keep the lead. I mean, this was his fourth straight race that he's led laps at Michigan.

Yeah. You know, I think we all get caught up in celebrating a little too early. Yeah, and you're right about the speed. I mean, the speed-wise, I mean, my gosh, they had a bad, fast race car. If they were in the top line on a restart, they checked out. I kept tabs on that, by the way. You know, you know, when he was starting, starting on the outside row.

Let's see what I have. He gained six spots. Now, when he was on the inside row is a different story. I think the other thing maybe Steve was afraid of in his communication with Dale Jr. is when Jr. was going to ask where Jimmy Johnson was on the track. Oh, yeah. And Steve's going to say, well about that. He's in the garage with engine problems because you knew it was coming.

And eventually it did. Okay, Dale Jr. is in seventh place when his right front tire blue on lap 3, 134. I guess if we have to play it, Dustin. Stay high there. Right front looking, Stevie here. Stay high there. Cautons out. Two four cars come by here at speed here. The coffin is out. You're clear low. You're clear low. You're getting on the lamp.

10 for you. Let's do that. Be careful jumping out, guys. Jack, get up. Clay, time of what you got. Oh, that's frustrating to hear, in it? Yeah, it is. You know, one of our callers mentioned the irony and the fact that we had a tire failure after the, for the first time all day, we actually put four tires on. because he took two tires on, what was he, what lap 43, two tires, right sides only on lap 72, not until after the halfway point of the race, lap 107 did they finally put on four tires,

and then 20-some-odd laps later, he blows the right front. All these people, and when I say all these people, I mean probably over 100 that are blaming me for picking Dale Jr. to win the race and blaming me for the right front tire problems. That is totally fine. Seriously, you keep it coming. If it makes you feel better to blame me for picking the guy that had the fastest car yesterday in Michigan, if that makes you feel better, then seriously, bring it. I mean, this guy Andy tweets me at Mike Davis 88, Ask Old Taylor Z Radio. If he still feels like burning up our points over 11th was a good idea.

Another person, Patty says, Taylor, you are in trouble, jinks. I mean, it goes on and on and on all these people that say either they're mad at me for wanting to go. go for wins or be too aggressive or they're mad at me for picking Dale Jr. to win yesterday in Michigan. If it makes you feel better, then that's totally fine. If you think that I'm the reason they didn't win the race yesterday instead of a good year, then, hey, listen, if that makes you feel better, then I'm all, bring it all to me every week. I can take it. So you're saying, just clarify, if it makes us feel better, we can blame you. Absolutely. Okay, I'm blaming. Okay, do it. Seriously. Dustin, here, here, Dustin, let me give you this. Let me give this essay. You want to blame me? I was going to say, I mean, you can. Everybody else is. I mean, I wasn't in Michigan. I was in Charlotte, North Carolina yesterday. But if it makes you feel better, that's fine. In all seriousness, before we hear Dale Jr. in his post-race audio here, I'm always going to pick the guy that I think is going to win the race. I'm not a superstitious person. I know that there are plenty of people in Junior Nation that are.

But it is frustrating, especially when you feel like you had the best car. And here is Dale Jr. After the race talking about it. This tire always makes me nervous. This is, I think, the same tire that we had a problem with that the test a year ago in Kansas. And every time I'm on this tire, I just really feel nervous and just don't trust what's going on with it. But, yeah, we were looking at our tents yesterday. He felt comfortable out what we were doing.

We actually put additional cooling on the tire this morning that we didn't have all weekend to be on the safe side. We're not actually, we're not, we're doing as much cooling as anybody. We're not running more camber than other people. You know, it's just, you know, it's a Russian roulette out there, spending on, you get a, you get a, right for a tire to just don't want to last. That's just the way it goes, I guess. I don't know. But we had trouble last, our company had trouble last time with this tire at this race and we, we paid close attention to it all weekend. and we felt like we were extra careful. I know they won't put the responsibility on ourselves,

but we did everything we thought we could do to ensure this kind of thing wouldn't happen today. And it's just unfortunate that we have this kind of bad luck, but we'll be all right, we'll run good and keep running good, let three races go up. We run like we're supposed to, and like we've been running, we'll be fine. Yeah, it was down on the splitter getting in the corner,

kind of slowed down pretty good, and then started getting close to the wall and he's been a little braking and it blew the tire out. But it had a slow leak and I don't know, you know, we put that a lot of problems with this particular tire. It's getting frustrating. Guys in worse positions than us and we ain't got to run, not run just one guy, there's a lot of guys

and all of them got to have clean races just like we do. So I think we'll be all right. You know, we're not an 11th place team. You know, we're a top five team. We're consistent, more consistent than most. And, you know, we just got to shake this luck, whatever's going on. And it's just something different every time. But, you know, we've got good speed.

And, you know, we just got to keep her head up and keep working hard. And things will be all right. That's a great perspective. Absolutely. Right there from Dale Earnard, Jr. And again, going back to what I was saying about the tire earlier, I think if you really pay attention to what he says right there. Oh, yeah, he doesn't mince words.

I think it goes back to what I was saying. Yeah. I mean, it is a really frustrating feeling to know that you have done everything in your power to prevent something from happening in someone else that puts the tire on your car. Yeah. Has some problems. It'd be nice to know going back to Michigan in the future that whoever puts the tire on, you know, requires you to reach a car.

run a certain tire, et cetera, can go to bed at night saying, you know what, I've provided the field with a tire that's not going to fail. That'd be a good feeling. But again, I go back to what I said. Yeah, that would be a great feeling if it was that easy. But as long as we're putting air and rubber, you're never going to have 100% assurance that that will ever happen. You're going to have tire failures. I just feel like it's gotten worse for the whole field the last few times they've run at Michigan. Well, especially in 2013. Both races.

I'm trying to think back. If we had a tire failure, I know we've had six races where we've finished several laps down, multiple laps down. I know we had the motor issues. Let's see. Texas was not that problem. Charlotte, Michigan, Wachins, Glenn, and Michigan. So this is really our first tire failure. No, but for Dale Jr. it is.

I understand what you're saying. I'm saying in Michigan through two races, you've had several guys, I mean, a handful of guys. No, no, I understand. In fact, you know what, let's ask Pockris about this. It is Junior Nation's favorite snack, Dale Jr. Potato Chips. If you haven't had them, do yourself a favor. Go to Dale Jr. Foods.com and find out where you can buy them or place an order online. You'll not regret it.

That's Dale Jr. Potato Chips at Dale Jr. Foods.com. Let's speed dial. Let's talk to Bob Pockris, NASCAR reporter for sporting news. As somebody that has been in the media center many, many times, I can tell you that no one is more committed. the finding answers on anything they think that their audience is interested in than this guy. I mean that. I agree. I agree.

It's unbelievable his commitment, his dedication to his work, and we're glad to have him here on the Dale Jr. download. Bob, your thoughts on Dale Jr.'s day yesterday. I know you talked to him. We just played the clips after the race yesterday. I know you were standing there. Your thoughts. And, you know, it was one of those days in recent years.

you know, he's a great deal of confidence, but he knew that that was a tire that he did not have any confidence, not the... Hey, Bob, did you talk to Goodyear or anybody with Goodyear after the race? Did they have any comments? Like near the end of the race of the, and they felt like, but they did say that they're caught. But then Dale Jr. says that his team, and can't speak for all the teams, but his team went and took extra precautions during the entire week. weekend to make sure that the tire, which they didn't have a lot of faith in already, was going to hold up. And I know I talked to our tire guy that said that they changed the ducting to get an extra duct on there to cool that tire, to keep that temperature down. So, you know, do you

think this really was a tight condition issue or is there really, you know, a temperature issue? That's a good question. I don't know. I don't know. I mean, there were enough guys who had problems that you think, well, maybe it was a temperature issue. And typically, they get fixed for the next time around. Right. And they didn't have it for their debut in a couple of weeks that they feel is in the sense of the ability to kind of being able to punt. Yeah, and that's good news.

At least that they're trying to work through it. They're trying to make it where people can get through the race. And you brought up a good point about the issues that Hendrick has had in both races at Michigan this year, whether it be Jimmy or Casey or Dale Jr., Jeff Gordon's issues were different than Dale Jr. or Jimmy or Casey's. But then you see, you know, what, Kyle Bush tweets after the race. He says, rough day, I'd say, knew this was going to be a tough day. I mean, he knew going in that it was going to be a tough day, and he had some similar problems. Has it gotten worse, Bob, with the tire issues at Michigan in the last year or two?

Big issue. And now you've got this news that, you know, this kind of Michigan. repay that still these guys are going to take what they've learned this year probably apply it to next year and you know I believe that new Atlanta's actually giving teams the four hours of practice on Thursday that's right in order to get a handle on it that's that's a great point Bob and I didn't even think about that but that's right the teams are going to have extra practice time on Thursday four hours you know kind of like an early test before that weekend starts we could talk about tires this whole time in fact I was even going to ask you how the tires on your rental car held up you know going from the track to the air

report. But honestly, we've got to move on because the chase has just now gotten really interesting. If it wasn't already interesting, the race to get into the chase, especially from Dale Jr's perspective. He has lost, Bob, 38 points. I don't think he would use interesting as the word. That's right. That's right. But he's lost 38 points to 11th place in the last two weeks. And all while running pretty good. I mean, Watkins-Glanny was even holding his own. You know, and as he said, making moves and, you know, passing people. And then, of course, yesterday at Michigan. He was doing quite well. So if you're

Junior Nation, Bob, you know, how concerned are you? The team is running well, but they've got this monkey on their back they can't seem to shake. If you're a junior fan, I think you're still feel pretty good because he's pretty good at Atlanta. He's been pretty good at Richmond. He's pretty

good at. I mean, these are not. Right. And, you know, the fact that all of them are going to have great you know, I think, or your perpendicular to him and you're going to tee bone or you have a tire failure. I think, you know, the history of Dale Jr. this season is, you know, and if he does that even just to, I think he's going to be.

I'm not going to panic. This team is not going to panic. I think they're probably in a lot of ease to them and Brad Keselowski's team. Last thing for you, Bob, I would argue that the pageantry, the atmosphere in Thunder Valley before they drop the flag is as a. as good as there is in sports. And I'm fortunate to cover a lot of different things. But at the August night race, the atmosphere there at Bristol Motor Speedway,

the pre-race show, everything, the driver introductions, all the songs, everything, people booing Kyle Bush and him loving it. I mean, all the different things that go on are awesome. Your thoughts on that and also your thoughts on the track now, because in the last 10 years, there's been a lot of people that don't feel. it's as strong as it once was? Well, I mean, for an atmosphere is a little, you know, again, the driver, if you really had to wreck somebody to win, who would you rack?

And make them answer it or something to even juice it up a little bit. You know, what happens? I'm going to gesture at who this time. Well, you don't have Tony in the race. That's right. Yeah, Tony's not in the race. But, yeah, Martin's throwing a helmet. That's right.

I mean, the thing is that Mark Martin's so strong if he threw a helmet and he probably breaks somebody's windshield. That's true. So that might be, that might not be a good thing. Anyway, so yeah, it's been 20 cautions. I like for there to be a little bit. I can't wait to see you there, Bob. We encourage everybody to reach out to Bob and follow him on Twitter as well. NASCAR Reporter for Sporting News, Bob, thank you so much.

Thank you, guys. This next part is going to be Kill, Taylor. Is that what this next part is? Or they could have your back as far as what you're saying so far on this podcast. I have a feeling they're going to kind of be with you on that. I'm going to start a hashtag blame Taylor. Oh, really? Yeah.

Will it be as good as blame JJ? Let's go to reaction theater. Let's hear it. Well, get the bleeping button ready because this is going to be a bleeping rant. I'm so sick and effing tired that every time junior's having a good race, something goes to shit in a handbasket. I know it ain't nobody's fault that a f***in tire blue. But, gosh, if this team didn't have bad luck, it wouldn't have any luck at all.

and the dude look on Junior's face when they showed him in the garage in the car, it was just heartbreaking. Nobody should have to go through this shit every race. I don't know what the hell they need to turn their look around, but somebody better figure out something. I am running out of voodoo fucking doll. I thought things went to hell in a handbasket. I didn't know they went to that in a handbasket.

I don't know. I know this is just audio, so we can't fail. but I sense tears in that call. Do you remember how good things were in March? You remember that? I remember the scenes. Yeah. So long ago.

Next. Man, he had such a comfortable cushion at 11 place, huh? Taylor Zarzer. Man, this is just so fucking awesome. Can I ask this question? How did me saying that influence what happened in the race? Hey, you can't argue with stats. You can't argue with stats.

Seriously, how did my opinions influence what happened on the track? We've lost 38 points. No, no, you're not listening to me. Answer my question. How did what I said influence what happened on the track? It's just in the air. I don't know. We don't know.

We don't know. Yeah. That's ridiculous. I love going for wins. Sorry. Next. In the grand words of whoever the heck first said, it happens. I guess we'll put the car back.

together and see what happens in Bristol and try to get those points back. And for Elliott Sadler, hope you feel good, hope you think you're even now, because now you have no reason to touch the seven car. Go Regan Smith, go Del Jr. Nationwide, Nationwide Series race. Yeah, that's right. Man, that's getting really a heated battle down the stretch. Yeah.

Thank God we've got the road courses out of the way because that's not Regan's cup of tea. No, it's not. And everybody's talking about Dylan, you know, not racing Tony's car. That really impacted the nationwide chase. So we got a lot of drama with that. Bristol will be fun Friday night. Next. Well, I tell you right now, I'm no quasi-datto, but I am quasi-pissed,

and I'm pissed at a fucking tire because I'm proud of the team. I'm proud of it's hard. Junior did great, and it was a fucking tire. I went to the gym. I didn't run. I went to the gym and I did squat. How about that, quasi? Go junior.

I like that. People are going to get in really good shape here. Every time they get angry. I went for a run too. You did? Yeah. I went and mowed my grass. Does that count?

Sort of. Next. You did a really good job with that. You did. That tested every, any skill I ever had on sensor beeps. I had to use it on Tim Brock right there. Well, QCB has to bleep the Diamond's Direct Wireline on my show. Yeah.

And you did a much better job than he does. We almost lose our FCC license every time he tried to, but you did a really, I was really impressed there. Next. What in the hell is going on. For once race, we finally get Jimmy Johnson's engine, and then we get his freaking blowing out tires. I can't stand it. I just want us to win a dang race before the chase starts.

Get together, Jr. And LaCarte, get your head in the game. I think that they both have their head in the game. But I'm with him on the part of wanting to win a race before the chase starts. Hearing that collar makes me want you to do your impersonation of the quarterback in varsity blues. I don't want your life. I don't want your life. I'm so glad that those commercials are over with.

Man, that guy's career is really take James Vanderbeak or whatever his name is. It's really taking off, hadn't it? Yeah, he's missing Dawson's Creek. Yeah, Varsity Blues Dawson's Creek and now he's doing commercials. I don't want your life. Next. It comes a point when you guys got to stop blaming these bad finishes on bad luck. Y'all need to take accountability for this.

T.J. Major, Mike Hogue, Mike Davis, Steve LaT. Bart Dale Jr. y'all need to take accountability for this. Everybody wants A-Rod and stick accountability. Well, Dale Jr., you're trying to take some accountability. It's not bad luck. You run under the damn wall. Keep it out the wall. Then you wouldn't have this issue problem.

Oh, okay. Wow. I noticed how he didn't put me in there. I know. What's on that? Yeah, because I'm the one person in the free world associated with this podcast. It's not, well, it was because there was a rabbit's foot that was in the car. Or you didn't wear the same shirt I wore yesterday.

Then why am I in there? Because you do the same damn thing. Yeah, but I shouldn't be. Are you not superstitious? Yeah. Yeah. I'm not superstitious at all. Yeah.

You know what I am? I'm an Alabama football fan. I know on Saturday that I got the best damn team in the world that's going to be playing football on Saturdays. I don't, well, if there's a cloud here or if I wear this or whether, no, no, no, I'm better than you. You know why? Why?

Because they don't have green in their uniform. Oh, is that what it is? and they don't eat peanuts. Stop with the superstition stuff. Just go off there and win. Listen, that's the frustrating thing, is I thought they had a car yesterday could win, and someone else, not associated with the 88,

impacted their day. Shouldn't I be the one that's upset about that call? You're the one that's vocal. Come on. You had one break there. Be happy. Next. Fucking, motherfuckin' fucking good year.

Fucking last night, ding. How many things I didn't change last night? Who the fuck care of this? about left side what about right side you put bicycle tires on the left side it doesn't even matter right side at least junior didn't spin himself out like Kyle Busch yeah right yeah but wasn't Kyle's a tire factor as well yes yeah yeah that's what he said yeah so we can put bicycle tires noted that's awesome I'd like to see that yeah what you put on the left side stevie Schwinn next spring race mission

I worked the night before. Got up because Ginger was leading. I only watched him blow his motor as soon as I woke up. Worked last night. Got up today. Ginger was leading.

Then he blows a tire. It's my fault, Junior Nation. I did it. I'm sleeping through Michigan races from now on. I might even sleep through next week's race, even though that's going to be kind of hard because I'm going to be there. There we are.

Accountability. Yeah, yeah. Oh, well. Wernie wasn't even at the track. It's all his fault. Next. Rocket. Got it looked good up front.

Good to see. Job well done, Steve LaTart. But how about good year? Get their shit together. Amen. And bring a tire to Michigan so people can race on it. Amen. I got my cancousies in from Steve LaTart this week.

I put them all to good use Because this run is kicking my I bet it is I don't ever say his name right Quasi Dadoe whatever I just call him Dan the junior fan But we're on the same page with that call right there Yeah yeah
