How's it going TJ? It's going well. Alright man. This episode is presented by Arby's don't forget about Arby's new meat and three bucks You get more meal for your money at Arby's we have the meats so
Let's see Carstor We ran Florence this past weekend on Friday night. It was 94 degrees. It was hot. It was hot um I ran a pro late model for the first time had a blast There was uh You know flarts is a track that I ran many many times back in the 90s know it well I only had Newport scheduled on my Calendar to go race later this year and I was talking to Amy. I said man Kind of want to run it another race want to run a race more than that Can't figure out where I want to go what I want to do so Called Tony junior. I texted him. I said man you want to go racing He said yeah, where I said Florence is coming in two weeks. You think you got something you put together fast enough He goes no problem. I'll call you back Monday Called me in a couple days. I got it all organized He um he's got cars going everywhere. He's got cars on the west coast. He's got um
Cars racing uh down in Nalabama and so forth Uh, he's got this new gms chassis that he's been working on and spencer davis is a driver that they spend a lot of time with Trying to improve the chassis and so forth to make it good for customers But it's a new program and Tony jenner has been working on it for a couple maybe almost two years When he started building the very first chassis started sending me text messages saying man need to get you in one of these one day And I like the way Tony jenner builds these chassis because All these new all these chassis builders and In the short track racing on the pavement side or dropping the door bars getting to wait down And a lot of it's a little bit egregious And he's got the door bars up in the right place. It's safe chassis So I was excited about the idea maybe running it one day. So he got a car together We went up to Test on Monday. It was super damn hot and um
Cardrow pretty similar to the late model stock to be honest with you. It was so hot really didn't do um Everybody's like oh man the pro is going to be so different. It wasn't it wanted to turn different. Of course blunts is worn out slick small flat So for the people the pros are the pro is a little bit a little bit faster car pro is a left handed chassis It's all set straight rail the right side frame rail is the straight as hell from the back bumper all the way to the nose and a late model stock car is a chassis that's um Kind of similar to the truck or a rally series. It is not offset It's got the frame rails way out to the body and all that stuff And um it shouldn't be all set you shouldn't be building it all said anyways. I'll say that but um Anyways, uh the pro is you know a left handed offset a little more left side weight It does everything better better brakes More weight on the left side turns different turns better runs you know runs about three tents faster probably at some race tracks
Maybe a little bit more than the then the late model stock I like the late model stock because it's It's um similarities to what I was going to try to race as I grew up right my dad's like you know, we're not gonna When I started racing back when I was 16 dad's like you're not gonna drive A left handed offset car in the NASCAR series so don't drive it now drive this late model stock It's like it's got the trailer arms and all the same suspension steering and all that that you're gonna race in the A rally and cup series if you ever get there So run this car and so That's why I went in that direction dad kind of steered us there But um, so I never ran offset cars at all when I was younger We um You know, we got together and got it got it uh got it organized Tony junior and his guys were amazing um Cori LaJoy has been working on a new carbon seat carbon seats are kind of all the rage now in short track racing
You know hinders been building the carbon seat forever, but it's massive Super safe, but it's super super big and hard to get into a short track car and so There's different companies that have been working on these carbon fiber seats Cori LaJoy has been trying to build one as well And I've been talking to him and watching the progress and so he finally has one put together ready and we threw it in his car and I got an insert for it And we all hustled in a couple of days to get the headrest and everything right and uh It was also the seat the way it mounts the belts the way everything's incorporated together Um, it just all was easy and comfortable And so um That was really nice. Just want to shout out Cori because he hustled to get to seed and and he's been working I know he's been working really really hard to get this carbon seat Right and he's you know still got some improvements to make but I think the seats race ready as it is
um And so anyhow We go to the racetrack and we were fast we ran First second or third in every practice there were about six sessions on Thursday and then a couple more on Friday. Yeah, you like your practice. Well um we only actually ran I'd say 40 laps total and all of that But um, you know we go out run a couple laps. Yeah, it feels good. All right come back in sitting while Said a while and wait. It was nice. Tony junior news had a practice I don't think I practiced on tires older than 10 laps all weekend. So we had good speed and the car was driving good um Then we qualified We ran a 59 I think the pole was a 53 and we were fifth So it's a little disappointed that we didn't do a better job of qualifying because I think the car had to It's close field it was race starts and we Just kind of kept the rear tires on it and as some other guy started to struggle with balance
We were able to move by for you and get up to second. Kaden honeycutt was um Leading the race. Kaden has won six pro late model races now this year. Yeah, it's a car store a lot. Yeah, super good hard to beat um I could match him I'd run a little better him one lap. He'd do he'd do a little better me the next And then with about 10 laps to go I was about three seconds back maybe a little less, but I wasn't gonna catch him So I started trying to save my tires just in case we got like a green white checkered by by chance That my tires would be happy. I had him pretty pissed off With about 10 laps to go because I was pushing it as hard as I could to try to catch him and I thought man, I'm not gonna do that He's running he's he's pretty much matching my times And um, so I kind of calmed down a little bit to get some temperature out of the tire and Hope hope for a late yellow boot we didn't get one I think if I could have gotten the outside on a restart I don't know whether he would have given me that I'm not sure it might have been a pretty solid
I don't think he would have I don't know, but we might have had a chance um I was a little tight so I wouldn't have wanted to start on the bottom. Yeah, he would easily beat me um, but uh Anyhow, I ran second and I had a lot of fun And so uh the late model stocks then got underway and Kaden Koppel won that race for junior motor sports and Carson Brown who is now Going up into the Riley series for rc r Next year ran second. So uh a lot of heavy hitters in that field. We had Conner's illits driving my car and he ran sixth SVG ran 13th and It was great race. I was really happy The whole weekend was low on drama and it was really really hot everybody had a lot of grace and The fans did the best they could Uh to to to to weather the the heat
And it was it was it's good man very very happy. I think I will I'm still slated to run new port in my late model stock. I think I'm I've got some work to do to get that car right and ready uh Talk to Tony jr this morning We're already uh to to go run some more races with them whenever we get the opportunity I don't know where of course if I'm gonna race I want to race in the cars tour Because I want to help my tour but um race with junior and gms with a pro uh We might end up somewhere else that's not cars tour related at some point So can't all be cars tour races, but um harvick's got some stuff happening on the west coast it'd be interesting to go do So we'll just kind of see um, but that's a new kind of that's a brand new little avenue that I have Would you go to the west coast? Brand new little outlet. Would you go west coast and run? Yeah, why not harvick wants me to go And it's we have the cars tour out there. Yeah, and they run some cool tracks dude
When he ran Colorado and he ran the top that's the that's the track that I was thinking of I said I saw that I needed to go do that that looks kind of fun. I like running the top at places So Anyhow shout out to gms mori sent me a text I saw people are like what the hell why the black 23? I'm like this is a Spencer Gallagher throwback buddy I saw Spencer Gallagher. He was at the race all weekend. Remember Spencer Gallagher folks Well race car driver. All right. Just checking. I don't know if your generation remembers Um, what's my generation one below me, I suppose if not two Definitely. That was two. Yeah. Well Spencer flew he's out west and he flew in and hung out with us all weekend. It was awesome Tony junior and gms all his guys are great. I just want to give them a thank you When's the last time you ran in a race in a car that wasn't one of your like your numbers. I
well My I'm pretty naive at times. So I was like man, let's go race junior. He's like all right Well, you won't on it. I said don't do don't ask me put ever put whatever you won't on it What's a god on it leave it like it is and he took took a picture of the car and he goes here It is I said don't change the thing don't put my name on it And in my mind, I'm like man, I'm gonna slip in here have a race and Yeah, that's gonna one one's gonna know But that any how it worked out but um We had fun. I think Tony junior had some folks, you know, he takes his race car to the racetrack to try to sell new chassis He had some people come up to him like oh man What's what's this calls how much is this calls, you know, he can sell you a roller for his cheap is I think 45 grand And there's other there's other kits and things that they add to it in terms of like the wiring and anything electricals and other six grand and stuff like that
So you can get this car in multiple different phases um And and Race ready so it's obviously got speed so oh yeah So it's um, it's a lot of fun Tony senior there was not there. He was with Spencer Davis racing in mobile People are gonna want to know was Tony senior there two beers two beer was there Kevin Pennell. We've had him on the show Um, it was awesome. So hopefully we'll get chance to do that again Two beers got some baseball cards. He's gonna sell me. Oh really? Yeah, it's got a couple of complete sets I'm gonna go over to his house and pick them up The um The other thing that I wanted to say is What this is a this is a shift to just a quick um The car's tour is badass comment So in the car's tour there's a lot of great racing series out there
But this is what I love about the car's tour and this is why you ought to To Appreciate the car's tour as well We have the floatium and it's basically a $10,000 Reward That can be won by any team or or or or a few teams that are in competition for it think about think of it as like the no bull five Or the Winston million Well, it's the floatium and it's $10,000 and it's every three races So every three races a pro team and a late model stock team have a chance at winning $10,000 and And All seriousness like I I really appreciate it when the person that wins the floatium isn't necessarily the race winner because The race winner is going to get his purse of seven to ten thousand dollars depending on the race And then you want somebody else to win the floatium And that's what happened this weekend We had two people win the race Kaden honeycutt and Kaden quapo
Well, they were not eligible for the floatium because they hadn't ran well enough in the pre-season previous two weeks and so Lee pulliams team and I think butterbeam who finished fifth in a late model sock won the $10,000 So they came there raced and brought home an extra 10 grand for running fifth and then lapsavitch Trayton lapse of it to ran third in the pro their team won the $10,000 floatium in the pro nice bonus that Couldn't have went any better. That's exactly how you want it to go You have Keen parts or Corvette parts you guys remember Tom Keen. Mm-hmm. He gives away a free set of tires every single week to a race team And we draw from the back of the field so it's always somebody who had a rough night the week before So they're kind of getting a little bit of a bump. It's a free set of tires. That's like 860 bucks That's a nice bonus. It is boy. So I kind of gonna buy your race tires. You'd be happy to race all the time
so um You know, there's a lot of great things going on in the car's tour that is helping a lot of our race teams save a little money Get through the weekend on a little bit better uh financial outcome I just wanted to give that um That note to the car's tour super awesome, but we're gonna move on All right y'all this dirty air segment is brought you by our friends at Bass Pro Shops Visit Bass Pro Shops today America's best outdoor retailer. I wear my Bass Pro Shops t-shirt And So um show and my appreciation for Johnny Morse and his crew, but we're gonna move on to the uh Race weekend at Darlington Um for the O'Reilly race I'm just gonna say that yes, it's disappointing the seven and the one ran as well as they did and then they faded late in the race I've had that happen at Darlington. It is what it is I'm pretty proud of both those teams for being speedy and competitive
They got a lot of great stage points to be able to lessen the blow as terms of the overall result Uh, told them before the race We're not gonna win the championship today, but we can lose it Well, we got out of there without losing the championship And we got some vital stage points to offset like I said that that end result Sammy Smith run awesome got a great result And um really upset about how uh You know, we gave Rajah kind of a faulty race car Rajah showed speed drove up through their late in the race Had him looked like what he's gonna get a really really good result And um and the car we had a mechanical issue with the car all night long And that's frustrating Happens, but damn it. It shouldn't I know it does happen. We've had it happen before But it shouldn't happen so There'll be unfortunately A little more attention to detail I guess this week but um Anyways, that's just one of them things it is it sucks, but um anyhow we we move on to the next one and we give it you know we go forward
but On the cup side You know, I watched the race. I thought it was an entertaining race at Darlington um What do you think about going into the shoes? I think slap shoes said Slap He said uh Darlington so bad acid even makes the next gen look good I thought that was funny listen. I like in the next gen's Got it's good good things and bad things, but I thought that was an accurate Uh comment um Before like so we rained out practicing qualifying yep and we set the grid by At metric do you agree with how we set how they set the race because it's different than how you qualify Because in qualifying all the chase guys go out last But if you if it rains out qualifying they just do it by the regular metric You know what I mean? What would you prefer? I think it's fine how that I think you just qualify where the metric puts you and go anyway
I think they how it was before was fine. I prefer random qualifying draw, but I Think um I would just qualify by the metric and not put everybody at the end or last I know they're trying to even things up, but like scg went to run the car store this weekend and he asked how we did qualifying and they said random draw and he goes cool And I thought Yeah, it is It is I agree you don't like random draw for qualifying we've been over this I don't you don't like random no why So unfair, huh? I you know what I like this is what I like so I Wish that I wish there was a way to do it with with qualifying or practice speeds But then you're gonna have all of the teams like doing everything they can to go out there and blast off a lap Right to give themselves the best
Opportunity to to yeah, yeah, for sure and so that's why we don't do it that way, but you would prefer to To have some kind of a like all right, man, let's go out and practice because that's that's another way that some some some deals do it um, I think that's kind of how we did it I think actually that's kind of how we actually did it in the car store this weekend was based off of practice times my thing with that is If I'm out there and I'm trying to achieve something in practice. I don't even know how I do it in the car's tour But we were sitting in the we were sitting on a plane in some I asked or SG asked how we did and I think Zillich told him that we draw random and he goes cool man that that's awesome I think maybe they were had a little joke about how they do it in the car in the cup series And so I think cup drivers might prefer the randomness of a pill draw I think cup drivers we're not you know none of us are drivers in the cup series The only thing that I would say is
You know You get you don't want to go out into top 10 you don't want to go out in the top eight you don't want to be early And if you're freaking leading the points your I don't mean we'll just if you're leading the points It's in the chase and you've actually draw the one pill holy s*** dude Yeah, that's trouble But at some point earlier knew you probably drew the 25 pill and had a better you know what I mean like I suppose I think it's how I think I don't love the right. I don't love the idea of random draw But I think it should be You know, it should be maybe the maybe the way there maybe the how they're How they're doing this sort of metric is a bit too come Confusing it could be a little simpler Yeah, I I wouldn't prove the metric, but I don't want to get rid of it. Yeah, what about last you what about last weeks results Just the result that's how that's why that's kind of how it was honest a little bit But obviously it wasn't exactly how it was because priests
What do you start third or fourth about your position in points? Well, that's what I was gonna say random draw if it rains out you line it up by points No, no qualify by point like qualify invert the points and qualify that way guy that's last in points goes out first God is first in points goes out last. I'm okay with that. Yeah, see I don't I still thank you're super simple Yep, I still think you're Making it hard because right now the metric makes it hard for Anybody once you have a if you have a bad race like one guy has a bad race and then you know Um two bad races in a row you're like dropping way down to points and then you don't want One better do better do better Got me what if it's not self inflicted stuff. Sorry No, I just think we're trying to we're trying to you're trying to even it out every week and make it level You're not trying to just give everybody a chance you're gonna ribbon. Yep. Well, that's why you do it by random everyone's on the same playing field
No, that's crazy. That's too much. How's that crazy? It's what we did for how many years that you never complained about it once I mean they changed the whole career you did it they changed it. I they changed it for a reason. I guess I mean they changed a lot of things for reasons that it all works. I Kind of look. I mean they put they always used to put the Um Remember the guys that were kind of um the open teams. They used to make them go last. Yeah or make them go first whichever was the most detrimental So I don't know I for those guy that stuff I agree with make those cars go together. Yeah, but the guys that run the whole grind. I mean Well, you're trying to be fair to everybody you can't put these these open teams in the bad spot run the whole year Run better in a race The Irina family is always trusted bass pro shops for our outdoor adventures and that's something that hasn't changed even today I grew up shopping there and now I enjoy bringing my family along as we gear up for our time in the outdoors together

So Jeff Burton on spire They don't seem to care said Burton. They seem to be okay with it But hey, and maybe that's right. I don't know. He's got a long-term contract. They believe in him I'm not gonna question Jeff Dixon and the ownership You would have to think at some point they would say look enough's enough But to this point publicly anyway, they don't seem to care a whole lot about you know what what what what's happened on the race track or off the race track
Um, I think Denny said that they're an unserious He said there's no adults in the room in there and I'm serious team. They're an unserious team um Brack is lasky post race after an incident with Carson says his day is coming and it's coming hard watch out Carson Carson Hosepore gets out of the car and says I don't know what happened. He's spun Um, and to the comment that Brad made uh Hosepore says I'll tighten my belts and now a cell t-shirt So let's say tighten your belt. Yeah, there's things about this. I like there's things about this. I wish we're a little different I love the selling t-shirts. I love the smart-ass comments. I love the showmanship. I love That you know, we got guys that get out and Or smart asses where you like them or not whether they annoy you get on your skin I don't give a fuck. I think it's good. I'll and I know Brad it sucks for Brad and Brad said what he said In frustration, but when he drivers frustrated every now and then when he drivers getting out going
I'm mad. He's got one coming. That's that's some bad. That's that's good Um The one thing though is You know Did Carson make a mistake? Did Carson? Do that on purpose? Did wait, I don't even need to watch it. I've seen it over and over Did he get loose? Did he get tight? Did he What happened? Right when we're none of us know And That's the one thing that's missing that I wish was there so like when he gets interviewed after the race I wish he said man, I fucked up or You know y'all didn't I did not that he's not gonna if he did it on purpose, right? He's not gonna I don't want him to say I did it on purpose But he might say y'all didn't see what happened to that before When he did XYZ You know, I just need something right of I would just like to know like all right man. What was going on?
You know and in in most cases people give you that information You know what I mean most most cases drivers will say yeah Um You know, Brad either man I fucked up or Brad drives me like Or something to give you some idea of maybe his His disposition But we didn't get that and So that's you know, that's the kind of the one thing I wish Carson would have done is after the race kind of I don't think he wants to tell you what he did I know and then that's that's that there's not a lot of guys I can't I can't remember many Uh racers that don't get out and give you some sort of emotion around it or Reasoning behind some why and I think that's the problem at least with this instance is now you've got like a lot of people are mad that like you come off and just And their mind you're acting like you're condescending and just like laughing about it and not saying like I messed up
Or this happened and it's like you know at what point like do you change this because it's I don't think you messed up. I think you knew what he was doing. What did you think you did? Well, you think he ran he think he just was like I'm well clipping Uh, I think he was okay with contact because that was the third time he knew he wasn't gonna pass us We're getting near the end. We're just maintaining trying to get to the end of the deal there Uh, we had a bad pitch sequence. We went from ninth to the mid teens there. So Um, and he that was the third attempt of him diving to the bottom not clearing us the first time he stayed real low And was like okay, that's not gonna work Second time he kind of went Three quarter of the way. I was like, yeah, okay, I'm still gonna be a tough pass The last time when we hit was whenever he was just like I'm just gonna I'm never gonna make this pass without some sort of Mix up here. He had to he was gonna have to stop our momentum And that's the only way you could do it like that wasn't just the first time I went in there I got loose and got into him that was the third time. I got you
So he knew like when you're going in there. He just said losses patients I think he just was okay. He knew he wasn't gonna pass us and he was like I need to go and I'm gonna just I'm gonna use somebody up and I don't care. Yeah, because there's never a Man, I didn't mean to get into him. Sorry about that. There's never any of that And that's my issue with it and this is like to me. This is the fourth time that he's Her the car that I least worked for his day like four time that I can remember um And it's just I don't I don't I don't get it like there's never you want it like you said you want to You want to look at a video somebody be like yeah, man. I've got in their heart I didn't mean to get into him like you want something to be like yeah, okay. We just got messed up, but there's never There's never any of that to me reading through the comments and listening to the Interviews and so forth it seems like that Host of R is a bit over All of the Analyst or or all of the
Weekly Why to do this why to do that? He seems to be like This is annoying right um And I think too he said in some comments about his cars not being quite good enough is he you know, is he kind of like You know, where's our speed? Where we were Earlier in the year we were this now where we're not I'm not Maybe he's not quite as confident or he's a little He's had a kind of a they've they had a little bit of a rough run to the end of the the regular season He said you know, hey, I think there was some comments where he was like well, you know, we might we're trying We're in the we're in the chase. We got it. We had a little window of like where we could just Can go outside the box a bit and just kind of do whatever It didn't end the way they wanted in a lot of those races late in the late in the regular season and Now the chase is here and and he said hey our cars
aren't quite as fast Is maybe I'd want and they you know as he gets out there in the race he gained a lot of spots early in the race but I don't know you know, I'm kind of trying you know, there's not he doesn't give you a lot of I My thing is like if you're mad about What people are saying they're always asking like I don't know if he is I mean doesn't really tell you Yeah, I don't know we're just trying to guess at this point But like at what point though Does the stop of the series and then that is bright and these other drivers gonna have to just make him pay for it man I Mean as a driver how many times is a guy I have to mess with you until you've had enough? I mean not many times I just if you're gonna say it go do it. That's my thing. That was Brad. You've said it like yeah I mean I the I'm not picking on Brad But I'm just saying how many times if we heard drivers say man It's gonna come back on him. This is gonna. He's it's gonna be rough on him down the road
This is the theme well, it's not yet there's hasn't been a result for it hasn't yet been rough on him yet He hasn't had anyone teach him this lesson that they're all thinking they're gonna teach him What do you think teaches him a lesson one one bad raise broken to link or to like wait till you're a Multiple DNS Brad does something to you when you're racing for a win and you have to pass Brad and bag goes you know up Not today buddy. Yeah, it's gonna be when he's gotta be up front. Yeah, I mean I agreed taking him out when he's running 20 if they're 20 It doesn't really now accomplish much. No Does it add fuel to it but when you get out and You kind of make a mockery of it and say you know for the next six hours. You know what I mean? Does that not make it look worse for him? You know what I mean Travis. Oh, I think I think a lot of fans see it and hate it What did I say he the next six hours the shirt's gonna be discounted by six percent. Oh, yeah Yeah, and like I think that's the problem is The fans love that and so he's gonna plan to it but like
He's also got to think about the driving side of things like that's probably not a good That's probably not a good Move down the road. I mean you're just why what depends if if no one pays him back then well if no one ever pays him back But like eventually Eventually someone's going to that has to you can't just keep doing it. Well, that's just a I that's a I don't think that's gonna happen. He has Um He's kind of been given I think a little bit of the playbook on How to Yeah, how to like turn everything into a t-shirt I agree not Literally but like metaphorically he's kind of been given his playbook and And he's not gonna let off the gas on that he's gonna keep Do in his thing like when he gets out of the car He's gonna do what he thinks he needs to do to sort of stir the pot. He he doesn't want to
He doesn't want to sit down with Brad and talk it out. He doesn't want to Get with Cory Hyman go man. Let's find some common ground He doesn't I've had conversations with him. He's like I like these rivalries. I want these rivalries I won't I won't this sort of I want to battle these guys and so That's He you know, I think he really enjoys it and to Jeff Burton's point clearly Spire in Digger Center okay with it. Whereas like when Ross was doing this Justin Marx was saying that things need to change like Well, I think that's the interesting part so Just in March you know that they ran into Rick Hendrick's car Rick Hendrick went to Justin Marx and said hey where I'll share the lay here Get your boys in line just in Marx goes man. I better you know Rick Hendrick told me to get my Together it's important for my company. I will go over here and tell my guys. I'm gonna relay that information right or wrong
That's what happened Dickerson and Rick talk every day Jeff Dickerson and Rick Hendrick are in direct communication I you you know damn well that Rick has shared his advice And it's really you know whether Dickerson goes yeah, I think that's probably important to tell my guys to make some adjustments or Rick I'm just gonna let this kind of ride itself out um I'm sure there's a lot of different opinions You know when it when it comes to like how Rick feels how Jeff Gordon feels how all these different influential people feel um About what's going on on the race track and author's track and You know as long as he's not running into a team Chevy car I think everything's Not that plot problematic, right?
That's what happened. That's the difference between track Alson What happened in the past But I don't know man. I mean I'm again. I like a lot of what I see. I like that it's start You know there's we got it we need It is the rivalry I don't mean entertainment. Yeah, we need the rivalries the entertainment of it. We do for sure We need and he's providing it Man if he's if hard if you pulled host of our just out of the field entirely man, I don't know that I like it as much As him involved in it And I don't know that I'm I don't have any when you say that are you talking about I don't have anything I don't have anything that I would tell him to do differently other than I would love to know if he if he's up or did he do that on purpose and I don't think he's gonna Tell us that I could probably call him and have that conversation with him privately but You wouldn't tell him to do anything differently
What would you want him to do different have run ins with like 25 drivers Dale like I feel like I'm not asking you to not like Be a little edgy with your racing and stuff, but like if this was your driver you'd be speaking to him. It's got a calm down Because you don't want but I mean he ain't my driver He's not my driver saying if he was he's not I don't know about that But you said you wouldn't tell him like oh We got tell it I get coming up here again. He'll be back in the spotlight here soon. Who You see how we go there the or rally race. I mean You wouldn't tell him to change one thing Didn't you once call him and tell him if you want to race my cars you can't be reckoned Well, he's not I mean there's no plans for him to drive No, but he's if he was going to drive my car tomorrow. I would say you can't do that In my car. I think we've actually been in this I mean if he was going to drive my car I would say dude don't go run into anybody. I don't need that it's not good for my company
Okay, in the middle. Okay. That's you. Yes, but he's not driving my car And Caster Dale's okay with it. Yes, car owners. No Dale does not race fan me Lobs it with it. Yeah, unless I mean absolutely if he ran into Josh Barry. I'd have a different opinion Can I be honest? No, I won't be to lie If he ran into Blaney I'd be like Planey go kick his ass. Okay, who else? Who else can Ross can Carson not run into I mean If he ran and I would say you know I have guys out there that I'm really really good friends with And I would rather him not ruin their day If look, I mean, I don't know how to put this. I don't know how to put this in the words But I mean if he if it was a indirect car that he ran into and did that too we would be having a whole different conversation today I'll feel saying to me
And we would we would be expecting some change Whether we were in the we're not in like if he ran into an HMS car And did that Instead of Brad We would all be sitting here assuming that there's going to be a conversation. There's going to be a change there's going to be some some Understanding right going forward, but it wasn't and it wasn't It was a brat. It was back as last key. It's just RFK. So you're there like Anything is always cutting me more polar opposite or Couldn't be more unrelated. You know, it could it's not a team Chevy car. It's not a car that anybody in If you know in Horses or inner circle or his outer circle get it just about It's the same thing and it fits for the whole series is that it's a lot of fun to watch until it's the car you work That's right and we all feel that way about everything. It's exactly. I'm okay with it as long as it don't happen to my guy It's not me. It's fine. Yeah, so in anything. Yeah, yeah, so I mean I'm Brad Kislowski
I would say is a good friend of mine and But we're all big boys and he puts you know he puts that driver suit on he knows he signed up for whatever He knows what he's getting himself into and if he thinks this he needs to go handle this he will handle it um And if I were Brad I would absolutely Want some redemption or a get back you know um So We'll just have to see how it plays out but I mean Look our sport needs These interactions this it needs this whatever you want to call it drama entertainment controversy Whatever you want to call it needs it and and he's delivering it. I wish there were There I say four or five more yeah, host of ours in the field. Yeah Maybe if there were more of them we wouldn't be complaining as much. Well, wouldn't always be just one guy It wouldn't always be Carson Carson Carson. I know yeah
So if it's three or four race sometimes let's get a good let's get about three or four more out there. We'd be Would be entertaining this would be a three hour show damn right Yeah, it'd be awesome Yeah, I do I do think there's a little bit of uh, I love Uh, not to cut you off teaching But we get Denny hamlin Coming on his podcast and saying they're an unserious organization now that is a Denny hamlin is really sharp And he knows how to dig and he knows how to really get you get you good and He saves he's he's he's not a person that throws jabs Out there often, but that was a That's that that gets that's gonna get under their skin like he's he said that And makes you think twice about what you're yeah like portraying here if if If somebody said that junior murder sports was an unserious business like I would be
pissed Like that especially with somebody with that you would respect that it's I mean, that's really a dig And this is one car owner to another Right Yeah, it is yeah, wow we what who do We got Denny hamlin going at him man what What are we complaining about here Well, I think on track Yeah, but if he doesn't do it then Denny doesn't say this then we don't then they're just talking about Springs and shocks and packages and Well Denny's probably whether the next gen cars good and traffic and all this are horse Denny's gonna be talking about how he parked in front of McDowell and McDowell wouldn't have in any of it Yeah, golly what the hell is Matt what was going on McDowell? He was wild man Denny through a jab McDowell through an uppercut he just Hold up in front of him No, I would have done the same thing. Yeah, I would have pulled that move. I mean, that's how you pass That's better than Clear, I think yeah, we watched the replay. Yeah, and McDowell just said I'm not lifting
Absent of host of what happened there that McDowell had a couple Remember three wide off the corner. Are you any rectified? Oh, that was pretty bad. I was watching that happen. That was pretty rough I think that was just that in those those moments happened and when they you get three wide off the four at darlinson It is sketchy. Yeah, and you these guys are so close to each other You miss judge by a foot someone's getting racked. Yeah, so I don't I think that was just a clear miss judgment I think throttle up into Denny was don't do that. I didn't appreciate that wait a minute, but I mean you say I don't appreciate it, but like it wasn't like he Chopped his nose off like he was clear. He was pretty tight, but I mean it was that's it wasn't that tight I had seen it done on a hundred times that race already. Yeah, so I mean just I was really surprised he was a lot more clear than host I was real surprised that McDowell got into him like that I was to it's now I think McDowell was surprised that Denny hit the wall. Yeah Like I think McDowell thought man, I'm gonna just show him
You know, maybe McDowell sitting there going I'm old Show him down the straightaway. I don't know what the hell, but McDowell probably was like whole I think he was yeah and Danny Bob, Danny Bob, but a little bit like he didn't have the pace like I think they're 60 40 blame Well, I'm just saying I don't make dials not doing that every single week. He's not no he didn't have this track record of Being a guy that does those kind of things so I think when he when it happened he was kind of like These cars don't really mean to do that These cars don't run against offense quite as well as like the cars when you drove there and you see they turned down a lot off the wall like and When Danny got up there and that high stuff and he got hit a little bit They just they just kind of well even when braggat put up there They kind of shot down and I think the same kind of thing was happened to Danny a little bit Yeah, that was something that was a that was a wild turn of events and It erased a bit of Danny's advantage in terms of the points because you come come out there with a with a difficult result
Which look I'm not pulling against Danny um Actually think we all picked him to win the championship, but I do want the championship battle to be interesting and fun I do not want somebody to lock up this championship Arace early or Him for bed to races early because we will never hear the So oh my god When racing through life staying informed helps you stay on track and as a leader in the g.lp one space Ozympic is making moves with the bold way forward the ozympic pill call 133 ozympic or visit ozympic.com to view the medication guide and before the next turning your treatment journey As your doctor if ozympic Simiglutide tablets four and nine milligrams are right for you This episode is sponsored by better help if you could wake up tomorrow and be better at one thing What would that be and why maybe it's keeping a plan alive putting your phone down a little more and being present Playing with your kids shopping less handling stress a little better

Didn't see that happen You didn't I mean not not the second Not for more. He was at the second. Yeah. Well, I mean we've seen he's speed. I know but we've seen when I think we're all like
Terrible at math because we've all seen How winds are vaulting people forward in the point. Yeah, we saw with Lagana. We even know But we see it and we go every time we still see it we go damn me, you know gain to bunch You know, we know what they're gonna get if they win But we still look at the points and go wow didn't anticipate him Moving forward that much or gaining that much or I think I think the problem is that we don't we forget that most likely if a driver wins He's probably up there the entire race. So he's getting the stage once we like that too I just think that the way NASCAR did the points this year We've it's this it's a really really cool hybrid of it is I like it full season points and winning matters The most consistency is huge consistency is important but gosh if you can win a race That really gives you a big gain and so they did a really good job of weighing the the win the points that you get for winning So Joey had a really good month, right?
And then he went from what about right near the cutoff to He was below the cutoff. Yes, like 60 points at one point and jumped all the way to like 10 to 9 Same thing with being inconsistent. We went from like eighth into points to below the cutoff With a three or four straight bad races. Yeah, and that's what hurts. Yep. So it's a great point system now Chris Christopher Bell with all the race tracks that are coming up Hell man, he's gonna be he's a threat I was a little bit surprised that you know, I know brisco had the fuel issue ran out of gas cost himself a lot of track position had to race hard all night long to gather all that stuff back up um But and the Toyota's back it we're back it not really a mile and a half But we're back at a big track where we're start where we can kind of see whether the strut changes that NASCAR made earlier in the mid minute Matter it seems like the Toyota's are still strong There was a time though where the fours were good shavies were good blah blah blah But Toyota still look like
The better team or you know, because you had you had parts of the race where it was 2311 up front dominating Then you had parts of the race where Joe gives racing was up front dominating the five got pretty strong for it But the Toyota's still look better um Has that gap closed a little bit we'll see as we get through the next several weeks Um right now Denny hamlin leads Christopher Bell by 12 points Ryan Blaney is 16 points back from the lead Tyler reddick 24 chase brisco 37 and tie Gibbs 39 Larson legano chase Elliott all those guys and seven through night got their work cut out for them to be able to jump up into this battle between All these Toyota's in the lone Ford of Ryan Blaney And uh Josh Barry reeled off another top 10 finish It hasn't happened. It is it has it hasn't happened with the wood brothers. I think he's got five in a row
I think it hasn't happened since 76 is a five or six oh six six seven row. It hasn't happened since 76 and 76 yes impressive um And they weren't even running full season then the last time they were running full season was with Marvin Pantch in the 60s and they did it They had six top 10 in a row They weren't running full time with Pearson in 76 But they still got six top 10s in a row with impressive It is uh Josh is up to 25th in point. I was gonna say he's he's climbing. Yeah, like he was mired back in the hall He was way back But he's jumped a few dudes um Can't you keep it rolling Be interested to see thank you Johnny Morris and Bass Pro Shop for bringing us this weekly dirty air segment and Get over to Bass Pro shops for all of your Your needs for the great outdoors whether it's hunting camping whatever it may be

Hey Hey, everybody is del junior uh here at the del junior download um For ass junior in the arby studio And with my friend tj majors. I'm pulling up my my chat right here and we're live So see everybody kind of trickling in here To be a part of this and um, there's old tj So i'm gonna grab a pack of cards for tj from the high gear box. This is an old high gear. These are pretty fun. Yeah So um some people like us ripping cards some people do not do some people hate it some people hate it But we're not we won't talk about we're just gonna rip them name talk about it So for all those folks out there that hate it you want to know something else that got people pissed off Yesterday me and Amy we went down to the beach uh we got a house in south karmina We went down there to hang out for a couple days and They've been all summer they've been paving the road
Out of the all i didn't know paving the road next to the house and They've been working on this thing forever It It's been they just it's been a lot of s*** going on out there on the street And my house is right on the road. I mean, it's literally right on the street and The return for my air conditioner duck because we got this filter time subscription out there So I don't go out to this house all the time. I'm out there as much as possible I get so i get ever feel to sent to it every three months and every now and then It's backing up. So I got a couple of filters downstairs. I got a couple over here a couple over there But I'm not gonna pause my subscription. We got him we we'll see we'll still keep it coming And so I've got some stuff stored away So right before I left I was like man, I'm gonna change my air filters for I leave because I don't know if I come back in a week or Three months or six months. I don't know I'm gonna change these filters
So I opened up the return and this return is right next to the door and which is literally 60 feet from the street So it's all right there and it was black like carbon black and I was like holy mackerel. I've never seen this filter this dirty before I've seen dirty filters But usually it's like dust bunnies and it's gray dust and it's cracked you know when you don't change them for a long long time They can get pretty bad this thing was charcoal colored truly and But I took it out and I was like dang Amy look at this and she took a picture of it. I put a new filter in And she and I put I held the carbon filter right next to it or not the carbon filter I heard I held the dirty filter next to it and was like just take a picture of the two things She's she sent it to me and then I posted it. I said hey change my filters. Wow look at this You know, thank thanks thanks thanks to my subscription with filter time I can have you ever seen a filter this dirty and people were like that's a carbon filter
That's not a dirty filter. That's a carbon filter. I'm like it's not I put the damn thing in and it was just like this filter right next to it and people were not Some people said it was AI It was so funny But there were a lot of people that were like no, that's a carbon filter. You don't even know You don't even know your filters. You only know your own filter Like you have a filter company and don't even know what a carbon filter is and I'm like I promise you man and I even called Blake my partner filter time and I was like hey, dude. I was like Did you say that filter? He's like yeah, I was like I don't get a carbon filters He's like we don't even sell him like we we used to sell carbon filters We don't sell them no more. I was like I didn't think so. I was like I didn't think you'd slip one into my order or something accidentally And he's like no Type of filter yeah The hidden notice I know and I was like man. I don't know how it got that color. I really don't I can only assume that it was it was drawing in all this because they were they grow they could they ground the street up
Oh, yeah, you know, and then it was dirt forever And then they came in and paved the new street and somehow or another That return being right next to the door It was bringing that I mean, I don't know it's crazy. It's crazy. You just don't know What them filters are doing? Yeah, we're working all the time And even the back filter normally like I've got one filter that's always way dirtier than the rest of the house Because it's right in the hall traffic and everything so we're always walking through there and in and out of the door and all that And so it gets dirtier than any of the other ones and Some of them and they they look brand new like I'll this one will be dirty This one upstairs or this one over here's done look dirty at all. They're not carbon So anyways, it was um, I was it was entertaining. I think I hate that construction. That's the Well, they're done. Yeah, good because I went over the handlebars of that scooter because Oh, you did you ate it. Yeah, that was well
Yeah, so that was fun yesterday trying to go to every comment going that's not it's not a carbon filter. I promise you I put it in Um, but we had fun with that I'm trying to think of what else might have happened to you ask me a question Uh, did you tell the folks who this is sponsored by oh this is sponsored by extended um They're waving the red flag on internet price hikes and raising the green flag for savings You can get the speed reliable Wi-Fi that you need locked in at one price for five years No surprises no late yellows. It's a straight shot to victory lane It's vanity With qualifying canceled on Saturday. Why not have qualifying on Sunday? Is that an option? Why not have qualifying on Sunday before like before the race Um Well, they got a tech I don't I don't think you can do it. Yeah, I don't think you can fit it in the morning. I don't think you could everything's already set
Yeah, there's just I don't know I'm sure there's a reason there's all kinds of going on in the morning like just because just because there's not cars on the track Doesn't mean there's not like the tracks got things going on Drivers drivers are here and there sponsor appearances lots of going on whatever. I don't you know there's just stuff happening People I've learned that through racing with the car store Um People are like man why can't you have a one-day show? Why can't we show up at three o'clock and practice and then rate qualifying race? It's like when are we taking like tech takes Two three four hours if you got 60 race cars at the race track It's like when are we gonna tech do you want to have tech you want everybody just to be cheating like hell? Um, I think if you schedule ahead of time we've done it in one day You can if it's scheduled like that to start. Yeah, but you're gonna have everybody's ass there freaking seven o'clock in the morning You're gonna start in the morning till midnight. Yeah, I agree Uh next question It's fan will know when kids get in trouble. They know it's serious when their mom breaks out the middle name
uh What did you hear from your mom when you were in trouble? well I um I don't I don't think I never was in trouble with mom What'd your dad say um Dale junior TJ did you get all right, it was middle name. Yeah middle name if you heard the middle name you Dale is my middle name. That's why someone was asking what would yeah If I heard the middle name you no one called me Ralph my entire life until Amy So when the girls are bad does Amy use middle names She does Yeah, I think I've heard her I think Yeah, I always knew as bad because I got the first and middle name and no last name. That's when I knew I was Yeah, I was never in trouble with my mother We're so we were really we were very similar um And so
We're kind of always I don't know man she said I was a good kid. I didn't Raise hail in the crib wouldn't hard to deal with You know you get if you have a couple of kids you'll have one that's sleeps great Always quiet not a lot of screaming then you have the other one will be just Man all the time just crying all the time fussing all the time fussing about everything so um I think Kelly was the one that fussed I was the good one Your mom was very laid back to like Easygoing yeah, she but yeah To the chat We already talked about hosts of our so you guys can check that in the show and also of our talking the front of the show Dale mentioned talked about our just car too so we did we talked about cars tour in the front of the show But we had a lot of fun. I just want to reiterate that we had a blast on the cars tour and Florence One thing that we didn't talk about in the Ovarali race. What do you make of Cory Day and William Swallich?
I didn't actually see what happened But Cory Day ended up finishing good and Cory Day gave a very matter of fact Interview after the race so we kind of have an understanding of how he felt about it um And they talked and I guess Swallich was like you know Swallich's unhappy is going to wreck him or something like that to that effect Sounds like we could have a little rivalry going. I'm here for it. I mean the cut that's yeah, we'll see how it goes Uh Something that Chad don't know what their handle is once know what was your favorite cartoon growing up Oh Damn man, I don't know Favorite cartoon it I don't know that I had a top of the line You have a couple that you number one at the Flintstones now man now
I watched I watched wrestling Like cartoons were just thing that came on before Saturday morning wrestling Where I got to see Magnum TA dusty roads those two guys Over my shoulder and rick flair All those guys come on and do some promos They were gonna wrestle some on set on Saturday morning. They were gonna get on it was gonna Come on at like nine or eleven o'clock Um, Trice didn't like me watching wrestling cuz she said it made me hyper And so I had to go in my sister's room and and watch it and They were you were gonna see a lot of great promos. They were gonna wrestle some scrub guy I'm beating real quick and then do some promos man's awesome. Did it make you hyper? Yeah, I mean I've wrestled with the Had this giant pillow Or something or I'd get a pill off the couch and I'd sue Plex it and wrestle and body slam it after wrestling was over you
No during the show you like on the couch you do like the moves that they do I'm making the moves here's a frog splash and that was two that was me being too hyper I always had on the remote control like ESPN as the previous channel And then watch wrestling and parents come around hit the previous channel like up just watch and sports here We made our belts We would so I would go up I would go up to my buddy's house and we had Belts that we made out of paper everybody had like we had the television.

Yeah, there was a big battleship And a friend of mine had it and I was very I had all those toys now We worked a lot. Yeah I'm trying to pull it up about this person's question What's your thoughts on the celebrity death match episode with Dale versus Jeff? Did you ever watch that? I thought it was awesome celebrity death match back in the day on MTV. It's kind of funny. Yeah, and so when they they could you know they were gonna put anybody on their

I've had an amazing revelation recently. What's going on Dale? Well, Arby's uh, they got me rethinking the meaning of the word nugget I do love some nuggets. Yeah a lot of chicken nuggets out there are made with mystery meat and their You know pressed or formed in the silly little shapes But Arby's is saying we deserve more so they're shaking it up a little bit Or should I say they're they're staking it up They're staking up the nugget game with their new steak nuggets Cut from 100% steak. I love Arby's steak nuggets because they're juicy they're full of flavor their tender and obviously they're packed with protein you you can get 30 grams of
Protein in the nine piece. That's a healthy snag right there. It's perfect. They're also introducing a brand new Horsi Ranch sauce all right, so this combines Arby's famous horsey sauce with creamy ranch So imagine that steak nuggets dipped in Horsi ranch. It's a perfect flavor combination and you got to try it for yourself And it doesn't stop there You got to try the bowls Arby's steak and potato bowls has steak nuggets over chopped potato cakes Her butter and melted cheese man, that sounds perfect The steak and Mac bowl has nuggets over white cheddar Mac and crispy onions makes me want to go out right now and order up All of these off of the menu you just can't get a nugget like this anywhere else You all need to go to Arby's ASAP and try them for yourself before they sell out available for a limited time at participating locations While supplies last prices may vary get your steak nuggets delivered or at an Arby's near you today

Oh brought you by fan dual Coming out of Darlington and going into St. Louis You know, I think that the favorite for the race is probably Denny Denny super strong at St. Louis
The last couple of trips there seems like he's always ran really well and the Toyota's Seemed to still have if you're going off with just Darlington still seem to have A good advantage, but this track is somewhat similar to Other flat tracks like Phoenix like New Hampshire. So maybe what we see I don't feel like Denny is the top I know well, I feel like he is would we see a Blaney would we see a Josh Barry would we see the forwards get up there and mix it up a little bit Josh Barry could you have number Seven of the top 10 streak. It's possible. I think I think Joey Blaney Cinder's got to win here. Yeah, so it's gonna be hard to not think those cars will be fast. Yeah, I think so too I would I would think that Denny probably still leaves St. Louis with the points lead Without having trouble. Yes, I would say I think he has probably you know Top 10 easy top easy top 10s in each stage maybe top fives as well
And I think comes out of there with a top five finish if not a win For Denny. I just feel like he's gonna be the favorite. I think If you don't if you'd have another Chris for a battle like this past week and I think that leads gone Okay, ah I think Denny will finish good enough to maintain it. Yeah, can a non chase driver win This weekend, I don't I don't feel confident Outside of maybe Josh Barry Yeah, because there's just something like right now. He's just on a tear I mean Josh Barry to me is just you know Gonna But he's not gonna do anything to jeopardize a chase driver. No, no, no So there's a couple things about that I've washed Josh do here recently and He's aggressive when he needs to be his cars are good and he can race guys aggressively And he's also been smart I mean, you don't have six top 10s in a row. I think Josh Barry absolutely can go in there and get another top 10
I just don't think that You know the chase when the chase rolls around the playoffs roll around all through the last several years The those guys that are competing for that high Stakes and high reward just get better It's weird somehow they run fast. You'll see It won't be uncommon. I guess this weekend and going forward to see You know all 16 of them in the top 20 or if not in the top 16 Oh, I have one that has a bad some any issue or something mechanical failure or something but The pace picks up somehow. What about a Ryan Prius? I Don't know why I'm I mean, you know, I think about New Hampshire and and maybe the similarities between the two tracks And I think that Ryan Prius is really really strong at the flatter tracks like New Hampshire because of his modified heritage and background Can you go in there and and throw a top 10 down? I mean, I don't think it's out of the question. Yeah
Thanks to you I mean, I don't I think Ryan the fours thanks get around good the fours fed speed there. I think I think Blaney is gonna be Probably the car to beat in my opinion. I think Blaney will be tough to beat I do think Cintricle hang around between fifth and tenth somewhere in there. I think Joey I think Joey will manage Three to three to six somewhere third to six somewhere there possibly win if he gets a good track position to end yeah I also think that I Do think Chris and I think the RFK cars could quietly be settling somewhere in the same area, but I you know they same guy I don't know about like redic. I don't I don't know you know, what are those cars gonna do this week? That's my question is cars like that, but I think Larsson will be fast What What do you got as the favorites Travis? I think you gotta go the Toyota's And that's the hard part like if you're looking for top 10s is like well J. Jarz got four
So there's four spots. I think you're gonna be taking up like it's to me. This is one of the most even playing field tracks You know across the board as far as like where there's not just like one dominant You know what I mean? Yeah, like yeah the playing feels definitely more level here And you have you can have break issues here get too low on air like there's a lot of variables. They can happen here. Yeah, I'll be interesting And this is kind of where you'll start to see people You know and the chase you they're fall back and kind of realize they They now they got to go from broke going forward or they're driving side like okay, I can just keep chipping away. Yeah, like I think um way you're barren You know this past weekend You We We said and I think a lot of other people off In other areas of the industry said that you could have some oligons in this, but I don't think you can have that type of result so I think Unfortunately for biron and biron fans out there that his opportunity to try to go run for this championship is over
In one week. What if he wins the next two He's gonna have to and I just don't see it happening. I know I'm saying but we also didn't see the gano win Not straight to TJ. I'm just saying you really want to go out there and a Universe somewhere. I don't I think he's had he could be he could win but biron has shown nothing this year. Yeah, I mean say he's gonna win Tuner. Oh, he's got to beat there's six Toyota's in his way That's the problem. It's like if you're eating one wall of Toyota. Yeah. Yeah, it's not like I agree with that I mean you got to there's so many good cars, so but All right, well, I think for me, I like Obviously, I think the Toyota's are strong This would be a great track for him wouldn't be proud of sees Some of the pinski cars up there running well Mixing it in in the top 10 I do like priests because I just feel like this is a this is short track tendencies It's type of racetrack that I think he's comfortable with
So he ran 10th this past weekend could see him do another top 10 finish. So what about a parlay for top 10s between priests and another top 10 for Josh Berry That'd be my top 10 parlay to try to really make a make a little chunk change. So make you pretty penny. Yeah, it should Josh is gonna run top 10 you could have bet that this weekend And probably done pretty well All right That's the dirty Modo segment is brought to you by fandoole the premier gaming destination United States All right, everybody I appreciate y'all tuning in for the Dale junior download today tomorrow big show Got some great guests coming on don't want to give it away.
