Description

Door Bumper Clear is back from an eventful weekend at Auto Club Speedway. Brett Griffin is caught in a feud between T.J. Majors and Freddie Kraft due to their drivers, Bubba Wallace and Brad Keselowski, making contact during the race. Hear what the crew has to say about cars not being able to drive on flat tires and why it’s putting spotters in a difficult position. Co-host Casey Boat and producer Jason Schultz chime in to talk about the upcoming Dirty Mo Media Ultimate Las Vegas Experience.
In Spot On, Spot Off, the crew talks about Denny Hamlin deleting a tweet criticizing Saturday at Auto Club Speedway and the guys debate whether or not it was a black eye on the sport.
They continue their discussion about the Next Gen car’s flat tire issues. TJ explains how towing the cars back to the pits damages a team’s race in more ways than one. Brett adds that NASCAR knew about this issue for months since it was problematic during off-season testing, yet they still don't have a solution.
A flat tire and avoidable contact with William Byron ended Tyler Reddick’s dominant day. The crew discusses who deserves the blame and why they have to put it on one of their co-workers.
Freddie explains what led Bubba Wallace to make contact with Brad Keselowski, and TJ offers insight into the incident, surprisingly, without the use of data. Then, Brett explains how dirty air did not seem to be a problem on Sunday.
Teammate turmoil surfaces at the end of the race between Chase Elliott and Kyle Larson. Another spotter is put on the hot seat by Brett and he explains how his lack of experience played into that.
It didn’t take long for TJ to bring up data, as he explains why he believes Chase Elliott's late race spin was not intentional. Freddie begs to differ and explains what tells the real story.
Will Auto Club’s fan turnout and exciting racing be enough to hold off its short-track conversion plans? Brett reminds everyone what it's really about.
NASCAR handed out its first penalties under the Next Gen era to Kaulig Racing and the Money Team for wheels falling off at Daytona. Brett explains how Kaulig Racing is going to appeal the penalty and questions how other teams are not penalized for other modifications.
Finally, hear DBC’s newest song in Reaction Theatre before the gang gets ready to head to Las Vegas and hear what they have in store for Alex and Jason's first trips to Sin City.
