Majors and Freddie Kraft discuss their casino experiences, running into Kyle Larson, and the biggest jackpot Brett has ever won.

The guys explain why the start was just a racing incident and discuss why Wallace’s actions were unacceptable. Plus, Wallace’s spotter Freddie shares his point of view from the accident. Next, Ross Chastain and Chase Briscoe weren’t able to hold on to the win and clinch their spot in the Championship 4 as Joey Logano passed them late. The spotters applaud Briscoe for his recovery after a rough first half of the race and react to Chastain losing the win late and what his moves say about his mindset in the playoffs. Kurt Busch announced his retirement and that Tyler Reddick will replace him in the No. 45 car next year. They discuss how Busch’s concussion was bigger than anybody expected and how big of an asset he has been for 23XI Racing this year. NASCAR penalized Cole Custer for race manipulation at Charlotte Motor Speedway. The table explains why they should have taken action for Chase Elliott at Bristol last year if using the same logic and predict there will be more manipulation at this upcoming Martinsville playoff cutoff race. Finally, Dodge has reportedly pulled out of talks to rejoin NASCAR. The guys reveal what team they were potentially looking to join and why NASCAR lowering the horsepower is not attracting more manufacturers.

272 - Charlotte ROVAL: Cardboard Changes Everything

The Door Bump Clear crew is back from Charlotte Motor Speedway ROVAL weekend after two playoff cutoff races. Brett Griffin, T.J. Majors and Freddie Kraft talk about the difficulty drivers had passing on Sunday, the drivers safety meeting with NASCAR, the DBC trackside live show on Saturday, and fellow podcast host Conor Daly’s Cup debut. First in Spot On, Spot Off, the guys discuss NASCAR throwing a caution for a sign on the track late in the race. Brett expresses his displeasure for NASCAR allowing signage like that on the track and explains why game seven moments shouldn’t be decided like this. Chase Elliott and AJ Allmendinger lote the lead on the second-to-last restart costing them both the win. The guys applaud both drivers’ aggressive moves but question if Allmendinger should have raced Elliott cleaner because he’s a playoff driver. Next, Cole Custer threw a block down the backstretch allowing teammate Chase Briscoe to gain positions on the final lap. They explain why Briscoe was going to make an aggressive move either way and react to NASCAR investigating if Custer’s block was intentionally helping him. William Byron’s penalty for spinning Denny Hamlin out under caution during the Texas race was reversed. The spotters explain how the appeal process works and why the hearing should have taken place sooner. Plus, hear how it ultimately impacted the Round of 12 playoff elimiations. NASCAR president, Steve Phelps, said penalizing Kevin Harvick was not punitive after his outspoken comments about the Next Gen car. The guys explain why NASCAR needs to be more transparent about their random inspection picking process. Plus, they share insight about what changes could be made for next year to the back of the car and how industry members need to be more appreciated by the sanctioning body. Finally, NASCAR responds to teams asking for a fairer profit split by proposing a small increase in revenue but also dramatic cost-cutting measures. Brett explains how large the TV contract affects the sport’s revenue and discusses the decrease in drivers’ base salaries over the past 10 years. In Reaction Theatre, fans call in about the Xfinity Series driver aggression, Kyle Larson getting eliminated from the playoffs and the caution caused by the sign. The guys make their Championship 4 predictions later in the show. Plus, a special Cup Series driver guest calls in and tells us which fan base is his favorite and who he thinks makes it to Phoenix.

First, they discuss Martin Truex Jr.’s decision to take two tires during the last pit stop which cost him the win and placed the No. 19 team on the playoff cutoff line.

257 - Nashville: Breaking Point

Door Bumper Clear returns from a trip to Music City at Nashville Superspeedway to break down the first of a 20 race stretch to end the season. Brett Griffin, T.J. Majors and Freddie Kraft first talk about their adventures in downtown Nashville this past weekend. As NBC now takes over as NASCAR’s broadcast partner, the crew discusses the rise of streaming platforms as Peacock hosted both the pre-race and post-race shows. To start Spot On, Spot Off, the guys dive into the top running Toyotas electing to pit during the final caution and getting beat by Chase Elliott who stayed out. Although they demonstrated speed improvement from Sonoma, Freddie explains why he thinks the Toyota's did not have the raw speed to stay out on old tires. Next, the spotters talk about NASCAR not throwing a caution for Brad Keselowski limping around the race track after making contact with Cole Custer on the final restart. Producer Jason Schultz references an article about NASCAR changing its procedure on throwing cautions and T.J. explains why they should have thrown the caution for the damaged No. 6 car. Kyle Busch made comments over the radio about his car not handling well in traffic after being unable to pass Chase Elliott for the lead. T.J. and Freddie explain why it became increasingly difficult to pass as the race went on compared to when he stormed through the field early. Brett acknowledges he appreciates the entertaining quotes Busch provides and shares how he feels about team radios being public during races. Also, they talk about Busch still not having a contract for next year. Bubba Wallace showed his frustration with angry comments over his radio after he had to return to pit road to tighten a loose wheel. Freddie talks about how he’s never seen his driver this animated before and why it’s justified based on their speed that’s continuously negated by pit crew blunders. Finally, Adam Stern tweeted about NASCAR being close to announcing a street race in Chicago for next year and that they are willing to drop a road course. The crew talks about why the track configuration doesn’t need to be overly complicated and which road course event it should replace. In Reaction Theatre, fans call about NASCAR not throwing a caution because Chase Elliott was leading, potential loose wheel penalty alternatives, and a song about the last episode's scheduled guest canceling last minute.       Thank you to our presenting sponsor Offerpad and partners Xfinity and RacingUSA.com for making this show possible.
