Place
Indianapolis Motor Speedway
Indianapolis Motor Speedway is a major racing track in the U.S. It’s most famous for the Indy 500, and it’s known for being fast and high-profile in motorsports.
Car
Xfinity cars
“Xfinity cars” are the race cars used in NASCAR’s Xfinity Series, which is like the step just below NASCAR’s top level. They’re real race cars designed for track driving, not normal street cars.
Term
right seat
In racing, the “right seat” is the passenger spot next to the driver. It’s where a guest sits while the driver does the driving.
Term
road course
A road course is a track with lots of turns, more like driving on real roads than a big oval loop. Race driving there is harder because you’re constantly changing direction and speed.
Place
Talladega
Talladega is another top NASCAR oval track known for very fast, tightly grouped racing. When cars are packed together, a risky move can work—or it can lead to penalties that hurt your chances.
Place
Daytona
Daytona is a famous NASCAR oval track where cars race at very high speed. Because it’s an oval with lots of drafting, where you position your car and how you follow the rules can strongly affect who wins.
Term
double yellow line penalty
On NASCAR tracks, there are special painted lines that drivers are required to stay within. If you cross the “double yellow line,” NASCAR can penalize you because it can mean you’re taking a shortcut or gaining an unfair advantage.
Term
throw a block
“Throw a block” is NASCAR slang for a defensive move where a driver positions the car to prevent an opponent from completing a pass. It’s especially relevant late in a race when the trailing driver is trying to make an aggressive move and the leader is trying to deny the lane.
Term
darty
“Darty” means the car feels kind of shaky and hard to keep straight. It often happens when the tires don’t have as much grip as they need.
Term
split second decisions
In racing, a “split second decision” is when a driver has to react almost instantly. That quick choice can be the difference between a clean move and a crash.
Car
Toyota Cars
Term
three wide
“Three wide” is when three cars are next to each other at the same time. It’s exciting, but it’s also risky because there’s less space to avoid mistakes.
Term
bottom lane
The “bottom lane” is the lower line near the inside of the track. Depending on tire grip and conditions, it might be faster—or it might fall behind the outside line.
Term
top lane
The “top lane” is the higher racing line near the outside of the track. Sometimes it’s faster because the cars keep more speed through the turn.
Topic
Atlanta
They’re talking about a NASCAR race at Atlanta Motor Speedway. It’s a track where races can get wild late, so it’s notable when there aren’t more crashes.
Concept
chase is getting tight
They’re talking about the championship race in NASCAR. “Getting tight” means the top drivers are close in points, so results can quickly change who’s leading the title fight.
Term
added bonus points
NASCAR gives extra points for certain achievements during a race. The host is saying those extra points can make a big difference in who’s winning the season standings.
Term
stage points
NASCAR races are split into stages. Drivers can earn points for how they do in each stage, not just for the final finish.
Term
stages
In NASCAR, a race is broken into sections called stages. Drivers can earn points at the end of each section, so it affects the championship even if you don’t win the whole race.
Place
Sonoma
Sonoma refers to Sonoma Raceway in California, a road-course venue on the NASCAR schedule. Because it’s a different kind of track than many ovals, stage results and bonus points can have a big impact on how the championship shakes out.
Person
Tony Stewart
Tony Stewart is a famous NASCAR driver. The host is using his 2011 season as an example of what it looks like when someone wins a bunch of races and suddenly becomes a championship threat.
Concept
chase cutoff
The chase cutoff is the “line” in the standings that decides who makes it into the final playoff part of the season. If you’re near it, every race can be make-or-break.
Car
Dodge Charger
The Dodge Charger is a large car made by Dodge. It’s usually built for comfortable everyday driving, and some versions are made to go fast. In the podcast, it’s mentioned as “a charger,” meaning the car itself.
Car
Luma Craft race cars
Luma Craft is a company that makes vehicles for off-road desert use. Here, they’re talking about dune driving—like the kind of racing and fun people do in sand dunes.
Term
sand cars
“Sand cars” are off-road vehicles built for driving on sand. They’re set up to get traction and handle the rough conditions of dunes.
Topic
Glamis
Glamis is a popular desert dune area where people go off-roading. It’s especially known for sand-car and dune-buggy fans.
Car
Rolls-Royce Phantom
The Rolls-Royce Phantom is a very expensive luxury car. It’s designed to be comfortable and quiet, and it’s also known for being extremely large. The podcast is mentioning how big it is—so big it may not fit easily in a parking spot.
Car
Ford F
The Ford F-100 is an older pickup truck model from Ford. It’s known for its classic 1950s styling, including a more rounded, chunky look. The podcast is referencing the kind of F-100 design the speaker has always liked.
Car
F-150
The Ford F-150 is a popular full-size pickup truck. Here, they’re talking about an F-150 that had a special exhaust setup coming out the side, which usually means it’s been modified or has a more serious engine than you’d expect.
Term
supercharged
“Supercharged” means the engine has a device that pushes extra air into it. More air usually means more power, so the car can feel faster than you’d expect.
Concept
sleeper trucks
A “sleeper” is something that looks ordinary, but it’s actually fast or powerful. In this case, the truck looks normal, but it has performance mods or a stronger engine.
Car
F-150 Raptor
The F-150 is Ford’s pickup truck. Depending on the version, some F-150s can be very powerful. In the podcast, it’s brought up in a comparison about how much power you get for the money.

This is the most fun I've had in this chair in the last hour and a half.
I don't know if we've ever argued.
Did I piss you off over the weekend or?
I'm still sour that I was the best man at your win.
Who was your best man Dale?
TJ.
TJ.
You don't need a cool best for that race.
What are you thinking?
Get him TJ.
Hell way it's starting to show.
Alright then.
Fellas welcome into this episode of the Dale Jr. download.
It's NoGreggsN and we have Chase Briscoe.
We're hosting today.
We have never done this before so I don't know what we're going to talk about.
It's going to be off the rails.
We're supposed to say this episode is presented by Arby's.
Don't forget about Arby's new meat and three box.
Get more meal free money at Arby's.
We have the meats.
You also have free bird.
I got the free bird.
Cheers y'all.
Here.
Get the little.
That's so crispy.
Pretty good.
I'll decked out in the Bass Pro Shops today.
Oh we're all in.
I was trying to find a let's just hit every sponsor play we can here at the beginning.
I was trying to find my Texcon cut stone hat sponsored the cars tour.
He's been trying to get Dale to wear the hat on the show ever since he sponsored the cars
tour.
So I was trying to find the hat day to wear it.
So this is closest is probably going to get so shout out to Evan.
Shout out.
Shout out to Tex.
What is it?
Tex.
Texcon cut stone.
All your limestone needs.
Yeah.
Well I don't need any limestone but.
No we're going to do your pool.
Oh yeah yeah I do actually need limestone.
Yeah we got you dialed in.
All right what are we supposed to talk about here.
Let's uh what did you think of the Lana race the other day.
Your car had some speed there at the beginning.
It was it was a rocket ship.
Yeah with no gas in it.
It was a rocket ship with no gas in it.
They had the parachute out.
Unfortunately it did it was uh I mean the 66th drove away from us unfortunately that
was uh that really sucked.
It was definitely a weird Atlanta race I would say.
It was super weird at the beginning.
The beginning was very interesting.
We were all spread out.
Normally we're all packed up.
How would you think did you think the track changed at all after the rain.
I did think it it changed.
Um it honestly I don't you know the sun went down right the moon came out it did feel like
the waxing crescent was there but it was.
You know I got a bone to pick because I don't know if I'm a believer in it anymore.
For how gripped up it was I guess Sunday night.
It hasn't worked for me at all this year.
The waxing crescent.
It's been off for me too.
I've been having more grip on the waning gibbous so I don't know if there's been a gravity
change this year or what but.
Yeah it might be like Chinese New Year or like year of the.
Year of the dragon.
Yeah waning gibbous.
You're the waning gibbous dragon.
That does check out actually.
Dragons but it definitely did pick up grip.
It was like a totally different race.
Could you stay with the pack the second half.
Yeah we did make a lot of adjustments there the first pit stop that helped and then the
second pit stop helped and we were three laps down unfortunately so.
Yeah you called it.
You picked right behind us in the pits.
I was worried about it and you said you're having an opening in and we definitely had
an opening in.
I was joking before so you went fishing.
Yeah I went fishing.
Did you catch anything.
Chase called me.
I caught one.
Okay so Chase called me.
One little bluegill.
Man there's this pond.
It was it's got 14 pounders and they shocked it.
Tell the whole story.
All right so we got this buddy his name is Barrett and we've been able to go to the racetrack.
He comes to the races.
He knows some people down in the south.
He lives in Georgia so he's like hey I got this buddy who has a buddy and he's got this
like killer.
I think it was like an eight acre lake pond.
He's like they shocked this thing so when they shock it there's like this electrode thing
they can do.
They ride this boat over the whole lake or whatever and all the fish will float to the
surface.
They taze them.
Yeah taze them.
Taze crazy on the fish.
Yeah so you can see what's in your pond or lake and so apparently when they did this
back and I think it was March they had seven bass that were over 14 and a half pounds which
is just insane.
So we were itching to go as soon as qualifying got done Saturday we drove an hour to this
guy's place.
We get there and it's beautiful.
It's got aerators everywhere, feeders everywhere and we're like this is it.
Like we're all going to catch new personal records.
And so Cliffy one of our crew guys he cast literally first cast catches a bass.
Within like the first five casts he catches three and like we're not even fishing yet.
You guys are going nuts.
Yeah and we're like oh my gosh.
Fishing out in Missouri.
Yeah pretty much and we're like this is going to be it.
That was the only three fish we caught that day.
Three fish for the next three hours and just didn't have any luck whatsoever.
They went back the next morning I did not and they caught a 5.7 pounder which is still
a great bass but it was not a 14 pounder.
So it was so hot.
I think they're capping on it.
I don't know.
It definitely looked like it had all the potential in the world but we did we did not catch any.
What did you do Saturday night?
Me I just went to team dinner and watched a couple of the fights the first two.
The last one wasn't even a fight.
And then I was already laying in bed.
I was tired.
Well it was a long day the next morning.
Pretty yeah I mean the next morning is the night races are cool.
You just have nothing to do.
But you don't have anything to do.
Until three o'clock.
And I stay in a hotel so we.
Yeah check out by 11.
You got to check out so I went to Dick's Sporting Goods got a Theragun.
I've been having some really bad like shin splints in my right leg for whatever reason.
Have you been wearing your sock?
Well I have been.
I know it doesn't really show on the racetrack but I actually have.
Did you wear your left sock last week?
Yeah I'm dyslexic so I must have got it mixed up.
But I've been having some really bad shin splints in my right shin.
It's kind of self diagnosed.
I don't know if it's actually a shin splint but whatever the muscle is right next to my
I'm kind of feeling my shin right now.
The muscle to the right of my shin in between my shin and my calf is really really tender
and sore right now.
That's your shinbula.
The shinbula?
Yeah.
What did you exactly do to hurt your shin?
What physical activity?
I've been whooped that throttle too much in and out of it.
Too much this year.
I haven't been just pedaled to the metal I guess.
I don't know.
It just started hurting the other day and I just been toughening it out.
I don't need to go see a doctor by any means but I definitely would like to see it go away
by the end of the day because it's pretty.
By the end of the day?
I would hope so yeah.
Don't pull on the Gregor.
Have you ever broken any bones?
I've broken my finger.
Which one?
Oh didn't you?
My middle finger.
When did you break that?
It was like 22 or 23.
Yeah dirt late model.
Yeah bulls gap broke that thing.
Then I had to run with the cast.
Yeah what races did you run with it?
Martinsville, Talladega, Bristol.
I don't remember the other one.
I went like three top fives in a row though so I should have broke more fingers.
Yeah you're on the bell.
Bell's copying you.
Yeah I know.
Big shout out Christopher Bell.
We got off.
You know my relationship with Christopher and Chase.
And Chase.
You know they started out rocky but we squashed the beef.
I actually didn't know why we had beef.
You didn't realize you had beef with Christopher.
I knew why I had beef with you because you wrecked me in the first couple races we ever
ran.
But you know what all bad things come to an end and look at us now.
Look at us now.
We're as thick as thieves.
Ricky and Cal.
Yeah I'm definitely probably Ricky with the Kevin Magnus and stuff.
Oh yeah you really were.
I still can't believe you didn't throw a punch.
Dude I went to dinner before.
I know.
And you were talking about fighting people and you were like I'll take on anybody.
I was but I'm trying to get a job next year.
That checks out.
I thought Kevin Magnus had your week in the knee.
There's a lot more consequences than just the monetary fine if I were to do that.
That was probably a good decision.
I'm proud of you.
But can we talk about.
Did you drop anything?
I don't know but I guess we'll never know unless.
We can do a round too.
Set it up.
All right.
And the best.
The best is the DMs from.
Yeah what's F1 like bad Twitter like.
Oh dude they come out of the woodworks and it's always guys with like zero post and they're
just Europeans and they're like you fat f*** wanker you suck at driving.
I'm like.
That sounds like my crew chief.
If we both if I ran with him for 30th then we both kind of suck right.
If he was running around me.
Yeah.
Don't we both kind of suck.
Yeah.
That would check out.
You know.
But that was when he hit me going into the corner that was a 14 G hit.
So what I don't what even happened.
I saw like some clips online but I don't really understand why it escalated to that.
Well I was just I just get frustrated when they barreled off the inside.
There's nothing worse at the road courses on lap two.
It's like we can all do that.
But you know what I'm over it now.
Yeah.
It was frustrating.
Probably more frustrated our overall situation this year and how tough it's been on the
racetrack just every week.
But at the same time you know I let my frustrations get the best of me and we'll move on.
Yeah.
That is what it is.
It's a new day.
Sun will rise.
New day.
So you didn't have a good day.
I didn't have a good day.
But the round I beat you and I got straight away by the 66 beat me.
The rain delay though was fun.
We got to you know after the rain delay.
We're all talking but yeah during the rain delay.
Can you believe who we have been.
Can you.
Oh my gosh.
I thought that Twitter was completely full but so Chase and I were hanging out during
the rain delay.
Yeah.
And how long was it.
Two hours.
We were playing college football on the Xbox.
Yeah.
And then.
Chase beat me.
Two games.
I beat him once.
Yeah.
And then we are to see if it was raining.
We go outside and carry Earnhardt and Figgy.
And I could not believe how tall.
It was crazy.
Figgy was.
So I met Figgy one time when I would have been 2016 doing the arka stuff.
I want to say Bobby Dale was running the arca race and I just like literally met him.
I didn't really truthfully even know who it was.
But yeah then the other day I saw Kerry and yeah I was crazy how much taller Figgy is.
I know.
Dale short.
Kerry is kind of I guess in the middle.
Oh Kerry is not that tall.
But you always used to.
I never met Dale senior but you always used to hear about how big of a stature that guy
had.
Dale senior.
Well he was bigger than life.
You know.
And he talked to everybody.
Man back when I was in the sport we were in Daytona for two weeks and Dale came up and
he had that big old paw.
That's what everybody says.
You know that big paw.
He would make this can look like it was six ounces.
Yeah.
I mean you just hear he was bigger than life and what would you say is probably Figgy
was probably 62
How tall are you.
I'm six foot and he's a touch taller than me.
Yeah because I'm only 53 so.
It looks like you're 53 right now.
Yeah this chair is broken.
They gave me a faulty chair.
We did not give you a faulty chair.
On the show.
Jamie pull that up.
Anyways it was.
Figgy's hands though.
That'd be a great time to raise your chair up.
When he shook my hand he had those contractor hands.
Yeah he's building those.
He's building those with Kerry's.
Kerry that's pretty cool.
I don't know why he never really came around but nice guy.
He was super nice.
Yeah.
Didn't look anything like Dale though.
No.
Nothing like Dale.
The curly hair.
I can't believe it.
He doesn't need a haircut.
He does need a haircut.
Yeah.
I can't say anything like that.
Cool to be able to meet Figgy.
Obviously we know Kerry really well.
I was surprised you never met Figgy when you raced here.
He just never came around here.
Like people talk about it here at Junior Motorsports like all the time.
And I guess it just wasn't really a huge topic.
Like it was just Dale's half brother.
Yeah.
You know but it was fun racing here at Junior Motorsports.
It brings back a lot of memories coming back to the shop and it's been cool to see their
success since I've been here.
They've been ripping.
Definitely been ripping by far the best in the O'Reilly series in my opinion.
So it's been cool to watch.
This place holds a really special part of my heart.
I'll come over here.
Do you ever come here to hang out?
Yeah.
I'll come over here every once in a while and come see.
You know a lot of my old team still works here or some of the guys still work here and
I know a lot of guys in the shop are still kind of the same.
So they did get a dyno here.
They got a dino.
Junior Motorsports.
So I actually live on the other side of I-77.
So you can hear it when they're around.
Dude I hear it.
They're ripping at like 7 a.m. on a Thursday.
And I'm like.
But I don't mind it.
I got these birds in my backyard.
What kind of birds?
Loud.
Loud birds.
Like a crow.
No they're just like little yappers.
They're little Chihuahua birds.
Like you?
Yeah.
Just like me.
All bark.
You know.
And so these things start up.
I s*** you not at 5.30 in the morning.
Which I get up at 6.
But they just chirp and they chirp.
I gotta silence them somehow.
Scare them away.
So then I went to South Carolina the other day.
And I got a bunch of Roman candles and fireworks and stuff.
Yeah.
And maybe a couple big bangs will scare them.
That might do it.
The blow dart gun could always work.
Yeah.
We are a big blow dart gun family.
I got a blow dart gun now.
Briscoe and I.
Yeah.
Well I guess because of Rusty.
That's a Rusty.
Yeah.
Can we talk about Rusty Rush?
Let's talk about Rusty.
Rusty Rush is he was a spawn.
Well let's go way back.
He started sponsoring Tony Stewart.
Tony Stewart.
Then he went to Claire.
Then myself.
Then you.
And me.
And he still never won a single race.
He's been on.
He's probably up to 150 now.
Yeah.
Where he's been like the whole primary.
Never won a race.
Never won.
Which is sad.
It is sad.
And Rusty's an awesome guy.
His buddies.
All his buddies are awesome.
The best.
The race track.
I mean there's just a good group of guys and he's kind of become like a I wouldn't say
like a grandpa to me.
Uncle.
Yeah.
He's Uncle Rusty.
And just a great dude.
He's very, very generous.
So yeah.
It's hard to not have a good time with Rusty.
Oh yeah.
It's impossible to have a good time.
Have you guys ever met Rusty?
Nope.
No.
Oh you're missing out.
So anyways Rusty's got this blow dart gun that he takes everywhere with him.
You could be downtown Dallas.
You could be downtown LA.
You could be downtown anywhere.
And he'll have this blow dart gun with him at all times in his vehicle.
And he's like Chris Kyle the sniper with this thing.
It's unbelievable.
He could like if I put this can on its side and told him to shoot through this hole from
like 20 yards out he could smoke it first try.
So anyways when we go hunting with Rusty you know the blow dart is a thing where we
go shoot rabbits or whatever with this blow dart.
So Noah bought a blow dart gun and I now have the same.
Is Brooks, does he know how to do?
He doesn't have enough lung behind him to really get that dart rippin.
He's got a little bit of lung because he can talk.
Yeah.
Alright.
So Noah calls me the other day.
And he's FaceTies me from picking up these fireworks.
And so for any of those that have kind of followed along with us after winning Chicago
I bought Brooks a drum set.
Yeah.
How did that come about?
So back in, it was probably February.
It was right around the date, 10 to 500.
He loves Forrest Frank the Christian singer and he watches his YouTube videos of like
in the morning like we'll just have music on right.
And so he always sees the drums getting played and guitar and stuff.
And so he saw the drums.
He's like, I want to play those.
And as a nightmare, yeah, you're like, we don't need a drum set.
So I just pushed it off.
I was like, well, when I win a race, you can get a drum set.
You should have said when Noah wins.
Yeah.
Yeah.
If I was thinking I was saying, when Noah wins a race, you can get a drum set.
It would have been 30 years from now.
But, uh, facts.
Anyways, we win Chicago or back up like a month and a half.
We go to Forrest Frank concert and he gets to meet Malachi the drummer and Malachi gave
him his drumsticks.
So then he was like really all in on this drum set thing.
So we went to Chicago land last week and I FaceTime him in Victor Lane.
And the first thing Brooke says is daddy, I get my drum set.
So he hasn't forgotten.
Yeah, has not forgotten.
So I obviously had to go get this drum set.
So we buy one off of Amazon and, you know, set it all up and it is just as loud as loud
can be.
Right.
So anyways, that's giving you the backstory.
Close or the twins room to right across the hallway.
So and they're super, they're they're nap and he'll be playing this thing like Brennan
on stepbrothers.
And well, the first thing he said when, when I FaceTime you was, did you touch my drum
set?
Yeah, he pointed out and said, don't touch my drum set.
So anyways, no calls and Brooks, I taught him or he figured out, you know, you can hit
to the drums and assemble and it's like the joke thing, like, you know, whatever.
And so he asked Noah, he's like, hey, Noah, you want to hear a joke?
He said, he said, knock, knock.
I said, who's there?
He said, what do you say, a gorilla?
Yeah, I think a gorilla.
He said a gorilla.
I said, gorilla who?
He said, a gorilla drove this truck and then he was when he was driving the truck, he had
a moose in the back and when the moose was in the back, he was driving the truck and
then he when he was driving the truck, he was driving the truck and and then he and
then the moose was in the truck in the back and and then Chase says quite the punchline
and I lost it and he's just going and going and going.
It was at least a minute.
Terrible joke.
I didn't get the joke.
Yeah.
Must have been in the person type thing.
Yeah.
And then the best part is the funniest part is he goes.
But it's like.
Yeah, it does not sound right at all.
And then so five minutes later, you know, you hang up or whatever.
And I go down to talk to Marissa and Brooks is down there and I was like, you should have
just heard this joke.
He said, well, it wasn't really a joke.
It was more story.
And so I'm telling Marissa and I go into the same thing.
You know, there was a moose and all this stuff and I was like, yeah, there was a whale
in the back of the truck bed and Brooks like loses his mind.
Like I'm talking to start screaming.
He's like, no, no.
And I'm like, what is going on?
I didn't say a whale.
I didn't say it was a whale.

I could remember the 37 animals that you said.
I was like, no, it's not on that truck, but they gorilla driving.

What are we supposed to talk about Travis?
We got Blaney here now.
Oh, we do?
What's happening?
How long have you been on here?
I've been waiting around here for about 15 minutes.
It's all right though.
I was enjoying your joke.
We're just trying to understand.
Yeah, if you ever need a joke, feel free to take it because it's a good one.
Hey buddy.
Strong set.
You better win and you won.
So congratulations.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
So congratulations.
I appreciate that.
Have you rode that wild hog yet?
Yeah, he's ripping around the track.
I saw it.
Were you ripping as fast as it looked like in that video?
No, I wasn't going that fast.
Did you take it up on the banking?
Yeah.
What was that like?
It was fun.
It was easy.
It was fun.
Sign that thing up in the saddlebag Daytona race.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't have the stones for that.
Must hash in the wind.
Yeah.
It was flapping a pretty good bit too.
Do you have a leather vest that you wear?
This leather chaps.
Yeah.
Strictly leather chaps and no pants.
Yeah.
Well, congratulations.
How'd your race go?
I saw you at times.
You went by really, really fast.
Rip the vinyl right off the rest of the start.
You went by me twice in the first 60 laps.
Really, really fast.
So I didn't see you for very long, but yeah.
Great job.
Great job.
I appreciate it.
Thanks.
Yeah, Noah.
It didn't look like you had a very fun day.
I apologize for you not having a good day.
It looked like no fun.
Chase, you ended up not having to finish either.
I still beat you.
No, I beat you.
Yeah.
Dude, we're three laps down.
I somehow got back on the lead lap.
I don't know how.
Nice.
Nice.
Just riding through it.
Yeah.
But no, I mean, it was a good weekend.
Couldn't really ask for a better weekend.
I was on the pole and won both stages and, you know, it was,
it was able to end up winning the race and never know how the ending of those
things go.
We just got fortunate with a couple, you know, good runs there and some good
help at the end and was able to just sneak it through.
So, you know, pretty cool, pretty cool weekend.
And, you know, like I said, couldn't really ask for more.
Hey, you had more.
You did not get the fastest lap.
That's true.
Yeah.
Cody Ware took it from me.
I saw that.
I don't know if I would have had it anyway.
I think I was high up on the fastest lap train.
But, but yeah, hey, I'm happy for Cody, man.
Hey, kid, get that.
Get that PR lap.
Yeah.
That's good.
Hey, is your pool, is it finished?
I know there's some complications on the building timeline on that.
Yeah.
It's good.
It's done now.
It was just delayed by about six months, I feel like.
But it's fortunately been good and we've been needed it.
It's been freaking 98 degrees here in North Carolina, you know.
For the last couple of weeks, but fortunately the pool is it is done.
We've been able to utilize it.
Did you tear it up after the race?
What was the post race?
Did you guys stay down there?
Did you fly back?
What all did you do?
You didn't go to bed until like four or five in the morning.
Monday morning.
I walked in my door at six a.m.
And so Gianna was not in town.
She was on vacation with some girlfriends of hers.
And so my mother-in-law was had my son through the weekend.
So she was at the house.
So I laid down in bed about six 15.
I woke up about nine 30 and went down and got Charlie.
And then my mother-in-law went home and then I, Gianna got home last night.
So I, I was just dadding it up.
Single dad in it up all day yesterday.
Yeah.
I had the twins by myself since, since the race.
It's hard work.
It is.
I appreciate.
And you had, you had double trouble.
So you had, you know, twice as much responsibility as I had, but yeah,
I just hung out with Charlie all day yesterday.
And so I didn't really, didn't really do much for the celebration side of it.
Besides take a couple laps around the racetrack.
Oh my Harley.
Hey, we were talking about it earlier.
You used to live at Dale's place.
Did you ever get to hang out with Figgy much at all?
I can't.
I'm not sure.
He lives in Winston Salem.
So you probably never met him.
No, I don't remember.
I was at Dale's house a good bit, you know, when I was living over there,
but I don't, I don't think I ever did.
Great guy.
How about you have the filming of NASCAR versus Navy.
We had a great time doing that.
Hey, I was glad I'm climbing on that table made the.
Yeah, man.
We had a blast doing that.
Like, yeah, we were out there.
So, you know, for the folks who watched that.
So myself, Noah Chase, you came the next day.
Yeah, I had a test.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So you tested Vegas, C.
Bell host of our zillage.
So we all flew out there after Vegas.
Filmed that thing for like two and a half days.
And man, we had a, we had a ball.
I mean, just being able to hang around the base,
messing around.
I can't believe.
I don't know if y'all think this.
I can't believe they let us do what we did on the base.
Like I.
Shut down runways.
Like letting us do all this stuff.
I couldn't, I couldn't believe it, but it turned out,
it turned out really good.
How about you almost beat that fighter jet?
You almost beat it.
Yeah, you're so.
Man, I was, I was trying to.
It was super loud.
You know, he and I were both maxed out down the runway and,
and then he just looked over at me and,
and decided to actually put throttle to it and then took off into the sky.
So I was open.
Maybe they would hook a chain up to the car and then I could take off with them.
To be like Santa sleigh over here.
Yeah, but no, man, it was, it was badass.
Your favorite part for me, I ride home.
Yeah.
Yeah, it was, I would say the plane ride home was probably my favorite part of that
whole trip too.
Yeah, not to get home.
We know that Christopher Bell's favorite part was to get home.
Ours was the conversations that we had.
Dude, I tell you, you get six degenerate race car drivers in a
plane together for four and a half hours.
There's a lot of good conversations that we had and we learned a lot.
It was kind of, we learned a lot.
I will say that.
I think we squashed a lot of beefs.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What was it like with host of our who we know is kind of the,
we don't talk about what went on.
It's kind of a, you had to be there.
That's a, it's a, it's in the tube.
It's in the, the plane type scenario, but we, we had a great time.
Like you said, we squashed and beefs all around.
We had some fun conversations and I think we, we,
we learned some stuff.
Yeah.
So, and we got some,
I will say one of the things we did talk about is Coles Wendell is
playing at Red Rocks in September.
And we were talking about trying to, I think that's a week of gateway.
We were talking about trying to, maybe I'll go out there.
I've been practicing the harmonica and Cole promised me.
No, I should have brought it.
I got the video on my phone. If we can play it, can we play it Travis?
I've been practicing harmonica.
Cole said that I can play piano man at Red Rocks on stage with my harmonica.
But if we can't get flights out there, would it be possible?
Are you, if you're interested in going, would you want to ride me and you out on
the new motorcycle?
Oh, maybe.
I look like Lloyd out there.
Yeah, that's the old harmonica.
Yeah, play that again.
Jamie, play that again.
Dude, that was, that's not, that was the real intro to the animal.
Yeah.
Pretty good man.
He's really windy.
I think you, I think you should do it.
Are you going to do it?
Yeah.
Are you going to go out there?
Are you going to go play in front of thousands of people at Red Rocks, your harmonica?
Yeah.
I mean, no, no stage is too bright for me.
It's a bright stage out there.
You know, it's what I know that we got to go up on stage with Cole at country,
Carolina Country Music Festival, and they have the whole crowd lit up,
but there's not too many lights when you're on the stage.
So I felt in my element out there, you know.
Oh, good.
It felt good.
Good.
I think you should do it.
If we can go out there and yeah, maybe we can, we can tandem bike it out there.
You can ride on the back.
Maybe I'll get a side car.
Can we get a side car?
A side car, yeah.
We could get dual side cars.
Yeah.
Like a training wheels.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Heck yeah.
That'd be good.
I wouldn't have to put my feet down when we stop in a lighter.
It's going to be nice.
You should trade your new motorcycle in for a trike.
A trike.
Harley.
Yeah.
A canam.
Yeah.
One of those spiders.
Ryan, speaking of ride alongs, you got your new show on the gas.
What's that like taking Chateau Chasinco and others along?
Yeah.
Yeah, man.
That was a lot of fun.
We told that last month at Indianapolis Motor Speedway and ironically enough, that show
just came out, you know, a week or two ago.
And that scheme, the body armor scheme, they were a big part of that show happening was
the scheme that we won at Lannair.
And the cars were wrapped like that scheme.
So that was pretty fun.
But now we took Chateau Chasinco out.
His episode airs this week.
We had Keegan-Michael Key from Key and Peel-On.
He was a fantastic guest.
He was our first episode.
And Weston Chaplin, he's one of our guests too.
And that was fun.
You know, those cars, I had an idea for this show like two years ago.
You know, there's Richard Petty experience, you know, ride around stuff, but those cars
are old and they don't really give you the full experience of what we go through.
And so these cars are old Xfinity cars that we has laying around and they pretty much
just put a right seat in them.
I mean, so they are fully, you know, pretty new.
Yeah, full blown race cars.
And so we had two cars out there.
So we took them around the big track and then we take them around the road course, in a
road course car.
And, man, I ripped around there pretty hard and gave these guys the full deal.
I made Keegan throw up.
He gagged pretty hard in the race car, which would have been a bad day, but it was good,
man.
I just wanted to give athletes and celebrities, you know, the closest thing that we do from
week to week, because it's hard to experience that.
You have no idea what it's like.
What do you think scared them more, the oval getting close to the wall with them being
on the right side of the car or the road course, just jumping curbs?
Yeah, well, I told them, I said, it's going to be two completely different experiences.
You know, I mean, the oval is intimidating because, you know, the straightaway speed and
the corner entry speed and then obviously getting close to the wall and they're way
closer to the wall than I am.
Right.
Sitting right seat there right next to it.
And then the road course, I think the road course was a little bit more eye opening because
you have the big decels right in the braking zone and half.
How fun is it when you're doing the two seater deal and you hit the break and you just see
them absolutely check the right front air fresher.
Yeah.
And I wouldn't tell them like, hey, big braking zone coming up.
So just to see their whole body like ragdoll forward.
It's so funny.
It's like the funniest thing.
Yeah.
Where are you at right now?
Obviously your house.
I live in my house.
Yeah.
I like what you've done with the suits and stuff.
Do you, is that your room office or?
It's a, we built onto our house a few years ago.
This is like a little bar.
So like in front of me, this bar set up and help us.
Let's see the place.
Let's see the place.
Let me flip my camera around for you.
How do I do this?
What up dirty mo cribs?
We got Ryan Blaney here.
Get it into her.
Heck, I can't, I don't know how to flip it around.
But here we go.
We got some checks up there.
Yeah.
Some checks.
Let me get some.
Oh, that's legit.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So there's a, yeah, there's some late model checks, the all star race check.
I got my turkey over there and then you have some fire suits and some, some cool little
art pieces over there.
So is that your championship suit?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Championship suit for 23.
So then a big team photo.
What's the holy grail in the collection?
Man, probably that million dollar check.
Yeah.
The suit's cool.
I'd say the coolest helmet I have.
I have a lot of neat ones, but this one is one of my grandfather's last helmets that
he ever wore.
I thought that was a cool find.
And then I have, you know, some, a lot of other drivers helmets from Jimmy's last year,
Tony Stewart's last year, some of my dads.
Hey, he got a Tony Stewart helmet.
Yeah.
Must be nice.
Well, you weren't in it that year that he retired.
No, but you know, that's the Tony story.
So I traded, I did it like a, I was a diehard Tony fan, obviously.
And I did this like Home Depot throwback helmet and, you know, it was like, it had like part
of the USAC midget triple crown deal on there had his cup, the Indy car, like it tied into
his whole career.
So I ran it at the Darlington throwback, gave it to Tony.
And have you been to Tony's house before?
No.
So there's helmets everywhere.
Like I'm talking what 500 probably helmets.
So I gave him the helmet and, you know, I remember going there after I gave him the helmet like
six months later and I'm like, I can't wait to see where it's at in the collection.
And so I go down there.
It's not in there anywhere.
And I'm like, dude, what the heck?
So kind of find out.
It's like, I guess in his bedroom or on the kitchen counter, like it's like really special
to him.
But anyways, he told me that he was going to give me a helmet.
So this was like four years ago now.
And so Noah is what we were hunting with Rusty.
We're hunting.
And we're coming back home.
We're waiting on the airplane.
And Tony's like, Hey, I'll bring you that helmet, Noah, to Daytona and we'll swap it out.
Yeah.
I said, I said, Hey, if you're giving out helmets, I said, I'll gladly take one finally.
And he said, Yeah, absolutely.
I'll bring you one to Daytona too.
So we get to Daytona 500 a month later and we're in this group chat and he says, he
sends in the group chat.
Hey, no, I got your helmet here.
If you want to come get it.
It's so javin them.
Left and right.
So I texted him.
I was like, Hey, so you bring my helmet and he goes, I wanted to put more thought into
it and really make it special.
So I don't have one for you this week.
I'm pretty confident that he just totally forgot.
Yeah.
So I texted Noah randomly like last week.
I said, I still got a Tony helmet.
So finally send me a helmet.
Yeah.
Yeah, I want one pretty bad.
Start up, start a petition.
You know, Tony did something really cool.
His last year was it 15.
I think his last year was 15 or 16.
And so every week he had a new helmet.
Every single race.
And then all the cup drivers, he would lay him out like here, you know, which one do you
want?
I did the same thing for Tony and homestead.
I special helmet like usack wins, Indy car, NASCAR, all his stuff.
And like a collage of stuff gave him that one.
And then I walked into his bus and there was like six helmets laying out there.
He's like, I picked which one you want.
And, you know, I ran here at this race to sell my friend this race this year.
So that was a really cool thing that he did.
Kind of for the garage, you know, that year of all the competitors that he was running
against that he had a different helmet for every single race.
So that was that was kind of anything I thought he did.
I can't imagine what that would be like.
Sorry.
It's pretty cool.
Isn't it right?
Isn't it pretty cool?
It's really bad that he hasn't given you one because you drove the 14.
You took over the car for him.
And yeah, man, that's that's cold.
No, it's great.
It's definitely a highlight and a talking piece when people come over to my house.
I'm sure it's the same for Ryan.
Yeah, show off our Tony Stewart helmets.
It's I can't speak for Ryan, but I'm very grateful for that.
That's cool.
In front of Tony's helmet, we have a picture together, you know, that he sigh.
It's cool.
You know, so if you get one, I got the picture.
I got everything ready.
I just don't have the helmet.
Maybe one day, hopefully he'll see this.
What's a rare suit that you have though?
I have a Danica suit.
Nice.
Yeah, they were at Stuart Haas.
They're just going to throw it away.
And I was like, I'll gladly take this.
I don't know.
That's good.
That's cool.
Yeah, I don't I don't really have other suits.
It's always like I'm always just trading helmets.
I haven't really had the worst when you go and you do something and you like,
we'll meet a NFL player and they'll give him like a cruise shirt or you give us
a suit and make a t-shirt.
Yeah, t-shirt.
Yeah, a t-shirt jersey.
It looks like it's bad, but it's a t-shirt and you're like, man, not an image.
I don't even trade.
It's never.
At least you could at wear that t-shirt.
You know, I'm not going to wear jersey.
I always feel bad doing the cruise shirt thing.
Yeah, the cruise shirt because they don't know any different sometimes.
Yeah, but exactly though.
They don't know the difference.
So we do when we get that t-shirt.
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah.
Well, how the heck did you all commandeer this show today?
I mean, gosh, we got.
They needed us.
Would you come do this?
We're pay you.
And I was like, yeah, absolutely.
Oh, well, that makes it easier.
Yeah.
Are you getting paid to do this today?
No.
No.
It's DAP.
You guys get DAP.
Oh, I took the $30,000 check.
Me too.
Yeah.
And DAP points.
Yeah, we're double dipping.
Ryan was our first choice, but the show we requested for, he was busy.
So that's all right.
I had to find other people.
All right, that's true.
Yeah.
Little Dale.
Well, thanks for having me guys.
Yeah.
I appreciate it.
All right.
You guys have a great rest of your day.
We go have a whiskey in a pouch.
We're trying to get figgy to call in.
Hi, y'all.
This is Drogman Tiff Davis.
Our new weekly podcast is out now on Dirty Moe Rodeo's YouTube channel
and podcast platforms with new episodes every Thursday.
Leave us a comment and a review and come see what this cowboy life is all about.
Hope y'all come and check us out.
Till next time.
Adios.
All right.
Thanks, Ryan Blaney for joining us.
Obviously, cool to always have the winner on here.
I always enjoyed listening to those.
So I guess let's get back to the Atlanta race.
What, uh, there's a lot of controversy there at the end.
Let's see what else do we have?
Oh, no help for hosts of art.
The end.
What'd you think of the Bubba penalty?
I thought that it was probably a little bit of
championship?
I?
I?
I?
I?
I?
I?
I?
I?
I?
I?
I?
I?
I?
I?
I?
I?
I?
I?
I?
I?
I?
I?
I?
I?
I?
I?
I?
by like they improved it. Yeah, like if that's not a penalty and you wanted to say be on the bottom
coming to off a turn four, you just go down the back stretch of Daytona and Talladega and get inside
the guy and they're just moving back up. Now you'd be on the inside. So yeah, I thought that it was
the right penalty. It's hard though because it is a great area a lot of the time, but I thought that
one was was right. I mean, it's not the first time we've seen it. It's probably not the the last time
we're ever going to see a double yellow line penalty. It seems like it happens every
every couple of years. Yeah. Yeah. I thought I was I was okay with that penalty. I thought it was
the right call. Is it worth it though for Bubba to like if you're trying to make the move and if
you can pull it off like but then you're trying to win the race. So I mean, I don't think is when
you turn really aggressively to the right, it sits on the left rear and you'll spin out. So
it's not like it was just a situational thing in my opinion. Yeah. I mean, I think obviously when he
made the move, he didn't think he was going to go below the line, but when you're making that move,
especially at the end and you know, given the fact that you know, it's host far and Blaney,
it's coming down to the checkered, like whatever you do has to be extremely aggressive and you
have to catch them off guard because they're going to try to throw a block. So I think that's why
I think that's why Bubba waited till the absolute last second. You know, he turned off really
aggressively. I think he just didn't realize how far left he got. It gets really darty when you're
like that too. So also he's trying to get as far away from whoever that was. Yeah. So he doesn't get
signed draft. Yeah. You're trying to make the move super fast, but to where you just barely
pull off their left rear at the last second slows them down. And yeah, it was just one of those things
where I think if you could do it over again, he probably would have done something different,
but at the time it's a split second decision. You're trying to win the race. It's hard to,
yeah, you're just going through your instinct and what your gut tells you to do.
See, what else do we have? Blaney absolutely dominated. I did think that I was surprised
that he was able to hang on. So I felt like the Penske cars were all very trimmed out. You had
Legano, Qualify up front, Blaney up front, Cindercup front, and Legano, when he lost his track
position and even Cinderc like I thought they were just very pedestrian and normal where Blaney
was able to still carve up through there. I thought the nighttime definitely helped them
maintain. I thought if it would have stayed hot and slick, our Toyota cars would have been really
good. At the end, no help for Hosevar. What do you think of that? Be careful. You don't want to get
booted at Driver Intro's next week. I mean, I didn't entirely watch it. It's like, I've been more
focused on how we can get our ship turned around, but definitely an exciting finish. Three wide coming
to the line was big. The top side always rolls. Yeah, the top always prevails. So
Ty Gibbs is going to help Bubba no matter what, trying to push her way up there.
Like I was saying, it's kind of once again a situational deal where they're coming down. I don't,
if there's somebody else right behind them, probably pushing Hosevar teammate or something.
Yeah, I felt like there at the end, it wasn't that nobody necessarily wanted to help them. It's just
the middle, he was by himself. The bottom lane kind of had a little bit of momentum at the time,
but everybody's going to feed to the top lane. I mean, if you watch the race, you just see how
much momentum the top lane carries. So I thought that's significant. Yeah, it's huge. I thought
where Hosevar lost the race was coming to take the white flag. I don't know how he did it, but he
had like a 10 car length lead and got out way too far. Yeah, just got him out way too far.
And I was surprised that he was even able to make it stay side by side with the run that
those guys behind him had being that far ahead. So yeah, I thought it was a great finish. Obviously,
I feel like Atlanta never disappoints. It's always a good race and very chaotic. I was amazed that
there wasn't more wrecks. I think I was really the only guy that DNF because of a wreck. So yeah,
I thought there would have been way bigger wrecks. The chase is getting tight.
Back to the host of our stuff though. What do you make of everything like before the race?
He's basically saying like, if you want to war out there, bring it. Like,
do you think that's smart for him to say the things that he's been saying recently and then
go out there and race and where you might need help? I don't know. I mean, I think that everybody
kind of makes their own bed, right? And I think, you know, Carson is going to race extremely hard
on the racetrack. So everybody kind of knows that going into it. So I don't feel like what he says
is, I mean, we already like, we already know that. Yeah, there's some guys that race extremely hard.
There's other guys that, you know, aren't going to battle you as hard. And, you know, I know that
every time I get by Carson, like it's going to be a hard race, which truthfully, I enjoy. I hate when
people complain about hard racing. So yeah, I don't think what he says is wrong. I feel like it's
on brand for how he races on the racetrack. So yeah, I didn't, I don't see anything wrong with that.
Gotcha.
The chase though, getting tight. Thought Redick was gone. Nobody's going to catch him. Then I
thought Denny was going to easily win the regular season. Now it looks like, well, we got Blaney's
only 65 back. I think it's been pretty, it's amazing to me how big a win actually is now
with the added bonus points. It is a lot. It's a lot of points. It makes a huge difference.
You can't have a bad week or an off week. I mean, you might be able to have one or two, but
you have to be getting stage points, winning races. I mean, but at the same time, and look at
the points that Denny's been able to overcome. Redick over the past eight races.
Yeah, it's your overall average, obviously, right over 26 races, but winning, I mean,
I'm a perfect example. I go from 108 points back of, I think, fifth, winning at Chicago,
and now I'm only 40 back, and then now I'm back to 10.
I know, we lost two spots, dude.
Yeah, I know. I went, I've just been a yo-yo in the point standings all year long. So bad
points day for me. Not what we were wanting on the 19 car for sure, but...
Where do you think you can get to by the day of the regular season?
I think, let's see, fifth, 181. I mean, I think fifth is still definitely possible. I'm only 60
points out, but if I just run 10th the other night, which I felt like I could have easily done,
you know, I'd all of a sudden, I go from being 249 back to call it 211 back. So that puts me
seventh in points and only call it 15 points behind Larson and another 15 behind Chase. So
I think I can still get to fifth, but I'm going to have to get a lot of stage points and hopefully
win a race or two and hope that those guys don't win a race. That's the thing. If they win a race,
it makes it really hard. You know, Atlanta was a huge turning point for us, I would say, as far
as the points go, just because it's another mall again that we've used and we've already used too
many. So it's really going to come down to Indianapolis and Daytona. I feel like are the two where
like we have to just hope that we maximize those because the short tracks, I feel like it's hard
to separate ourselves, but you know, Indy should be a great track for the Toyotas and then Daytona,
you just got to hope that you have a good result and not get crashed. And if we do that,
I think we could get to fifth. At the worst case, I hope we can get to sixth.
Larsen reckoned the other night definitely at least kept us in the ballgame.
I think one of the goals when they created the chase was they wanted the wins.
The, you know, the great finishes to feel great and bad races to feel even worse. Do you feel like
after a race, you're either happier or more mad than you were in previous years?
Yes. Is it the same?
1000%
Every race really matters.
It definitely every race matters. Every stage matters. You know, for me, you know, even Sonoma,
right? Like I ran second and I was mad that I didn't win because those 15 bonus points would
have made a big difference. But from an overall point standpoint, in the past, if I would have
ran second at Sonoma, if I'd already won a race, it meant nothing. I mean, from a point standpoint
and championship standpoint, you were really only racing for wins and that's it. And then
same vice versa, like if Atlanta, if I would have crashed and I'd already won a race, like
does it really matter that much? Not really. Where now it, I mean, it stings really, really bad.
So yeah, I think the points are awesome how they have it now. I'm excited for the chase to start
because if you have somebody that does a, you know, Tony Stewart 2011 run where they can go win four
or five races, like you can come from anywhere on the points. Like I'm looking at, you know,
William Byron, he's 12th in points right now. If he could get hot and win four or five races,
like he could be a legitimate chance to win the championship where I feel like in the past,
it would have been really hard to do that if you didn't have the 15 extra bonus points for a win.
Yeah, that reset last year. Because if you had a great three run stretch, but you don't win,
you just go back to the place you had. Did nothing. Yeah. I love the points now.
What do you think about at the bottom? Who can make it get in? And right now Eric Jones is at
the cutoff. Yeah, it's going to be interesting because I don't think the four has a great
we were talking about it this week. I'm very on the phone. You're like, if I could win the next
seven races in every stage, could I make? I was like, I think you would be well in the top 10 if
you did that. So good luck. There's a chance. Hopefully you do it. Tell me there's a chance.
If history repeats itself, it's not looking great. I feel like the chase cutoff though is going to be
just so interesting because you're going to a lot of short tracks. So you know,
Logano is going to be good. Ryan Prey should be good because Alaska should be good. I feel like
Ross should be pretty good too. You know, I think SVG probably struggles a little bit more on the
short tracks than the mile and a half stuff. So yeah, I just feel like the cut line is going to get
extremely just intense. You know, the air Jones is another one where you just don't really ever
know what legacy I feel like you're going to get. Like some weeks they're top 10 super fast and
other weeks they're seems like the bigger tracks, they've been better. Yeah, halfs Michigan. They've
been good. Like Indy, they'll probably be pretty solid. Yeah, they should be good there. I think
that's the good thing for if I'm a Logano fan. It's no secret that the Pinsky cars have struggled
on the mile and a half and really outside of Indy, you don't have anything that's not a short track.
So the Logano should be able to gain a ton of points over the next couple of weeks.
And even Indy, Pinsky was extremely fast last year. You go to Daytona, the Pinsky cars are going
to be good. So yeah, if I'm one of those guys above, right above the cut line, I would be nervous
for sure. Just given who's all behind me because RFK is going to run good at the short tracks.
You know, Pinsky is going to run good. And that's really what the rest of the regular
season is outside of Indian Daytona is just short tracks. So yeah, the points are going to swing
a lot, I feel like. Hey, this is Dale Hart Jr. And for all the latest Dale Jr. download gear,

Hi everybody, welcome to another installment of Ask Jr. presented by Xfinity. Xfinity is waving
the red flag on internet price hikes and raising the green flag for savings. Now you get the speed
and reliable Wi-Fi you need locked in at one price for five years. No surprises, no late yellows,
just a straight shot to victory lane. And just like that folks, we've got a winner. Xfinity,
imagine that. All right guys, so we asked the fans for some questions and I can only imagine.
Surprise, surprise. The first question they want to know, what was it like meeting the Costco guys?
Who are these guys? I called you literally, I think last night, I'm like, I have no idea who
these guys are. They're just influencers I guess. And they just go to Costco and you said
and they just steal bread. Well yeah, I don't even really know. Would you know better? I assumed you
knew. I mean, that was just aura farming everywhere we go. You know, you got to do some of this
stay relevant these days, you know. So yeah, there's AJ, Big Justice, they're cool. So I
originally met the Rizzler down in Daytona, big Rizzler fan. Really cool kid. What did he say?
You got to tighten up the cheeks? So yeah, he said, he said, you got to raise your eyebrows,
close your mouth and suck your cheeks in. That's it. Rizz face. I think you nailed it.
How'd I look? You look great. Just like the Rizzler. Just like him. If I didn't know any
better, I think the Rizzler is sitting here beside me. And then I filmed this, I guess, NASCAR film
that they were going to do for promotion. It didn't end up going out, but I met the Costco guys and
then they came to the race and people love them and they're yelling, that's five big booms.
So what is a big boom? Why five?
I'm going to be straight up. I don't know five big booms. Boom! That's what they do.
Yeah, either way, they're just, their fan favorites have been in the past and
yeah, it's cool to have them out there. Alrighty. Alrighty. That's the big boom.
That's the big boom. Next question I want to know, what are you guys' top five candy bars?
Top five candy bars? You like candies? I like candy, but I wouldn't say candy bars per se.
Oh, you're getting me on that.
I don't know. Top five? Chase is actually a big candy bar guy. We were in Las Vegas doing some
race promotion this year at Las Vegas Motor Speedway before the race weekend and we decided to
drive down together to Phoenix, right before the Phoenix race and he goes in the gas station
and gets a Hershey's Bar, plain Hershey's Bar. Apparently it's wild work. That's foul to me.
Just a plain Hershey bar was pretty hot out driving to the desert and he had left it up on the dash
and it melted in a minute and a half. It literally melted in a minute and a half.
And now it's all twisted up. It looked like super jagged and stuff. It looked like crumbled
up piece of paper basically. Pretty much, yeah. And then I said, well put it in front of the AC
and let it cool off so it hardens like that. And then I drove later throughout the weekend
and in the passenger seat there's just crumbs of Hershey's Bar everywhere. It just melted.
It was so bad. It made it such a mess. To the passenger seat everywhere. And so
top five candy bars. Or what's one of your favorites? All right, I don't like Hershey bars,
but... Like there's no way you're going into a gas station. That's your first pick. My first
type of bar. My first pick is not a candy bar, but if we're just talking candy,
it's probably the trolley sour gummy worms. Those things. Have you guys ever had trolley eggs?
No, I haven't. You know the gummy worm trolley? Yeah.
They're eggs and it's like a gummy worm inside, but it's got a hard shell in there. Little eggs.
Dude, I used to get them all the time as a kid. I would walk to the gas station. Or I had this
little chopper bicycle. Oh, I had one of those too. With ape hangers. Yeah. Dude, I used to ride that
in California all the time, man. I bought it. I saved up my money. They have a little weed eater
motor on it. No. Do you remember like the little mini crotch rockets that have a good
eating motor? Yeah, those were sick. I always wanted one of those so badly. I just saw a dude on one
the other day in Greenville, South Carolina. Shout out Greenville Pickens, of course. Yeah,
we got to save Greenville Pickens. We got to save it. We got to save Greenville Pickens. Shout out
NASCAR will. They have Mountain Dew trolley. Look at that. Yeah, trolley eggs. Yeah, yeah.
Trolley sour bright eggs. Those were fire. You guys ever have shockers back in the day? Oh, yeah.
Those were fires. Well, I used to get those out of the treasure box. I was in
the treasure box. Yeah, that's the treasure at school. Well, it was actually a and speaking
of school, I didn't realize you went to military school. Yeah, I did. had some learning
challenges as well. On top of some some behavioral corrections that I needed as a younger, younger
preteen younger that just I was a handful as a kid. Really? I would have never, never
guessed that. I thought I was a pretty good kid, but what's military school like? It was cool. So,
I went to this place called Army Navy Academy in California and it was interesting. I was probably
one of the best behave kids there. There's no way. I'm dead ass. I swear.
And like, dude, I was class president seventh and eighth grade. Got everybody to vote for you.
Yeah, I was I was offered a player of the year in 2013. What did you run on? What was your stance?
For what? Trolley eggs for everybody. Yeah, like to be a person. What was your campaign? So fat.
Well, I was just like, I guess a role model for the other other kids in my grade, you know, and
I was a leader for them and for our class. It really didn't mean I was gonna say where'd you
lead them to the playground? No, we didn't have playground. It was not at military school. But
you know, when you got there, you had two options. You could either do the right thing and you get
rewarded for that. So they have merits and you gotta go to the treasure box. No, this is before
that. I'll get to the treasure box story. So you had merits and demerits. And if you got like one
demerit, it was like 30 minutes of marching around a rectangle in the middle of the school,
basically. And the dorms were on campus. But if you got merits, like if you did, they do room
inspection, they do also if your uniform looks good, you had ways to earn merits as well. So I
didn't really have to march too much. I did get a lot of merits and you could go into town on
Thursdays. But if you got like 40 merits, they were somewhat difficult to earn. You would be able
to go into town on Tuesday. So we'd go get a burrito or something. The food was absolutely
inedible in the cafeteria there. So I went there as a fat ass little 11 or 12 year old.
No trolley eggs in your backpack. No trolley eggs whatsoever. They did have a student store.
And I would get like that's a Hershey bar out. No, no, I would they would have like ramen and
they would have fugls was another hit. Some kids would get like seaweed chips, which I thought was
really gross. But they had a little bit of everything you could get a chocolate milk if you
wanted to picture you with bugles all over your fingers. Yeah, playing Xbox. Yeah, this like
yeah, just spam and a yeah. I mean, there's just this one good so we I snuck my PlayStation
into military school. Alright, the backstory on this. Okay, so just muggle that thing in there.
So we had so there's two guys to a room. And you had your bunk bed and underneath you had a desk.
And then your closet area. It was really small. I mean, dorm room. Yeah, exactly like a dorm room.
And so we I bought this like kind of chair like this would be like more like an office chair,
because it was just like a wooden chair in there. And I took the box of the office chair
and I cut holes in it. And I hid my PlayStation in there. And I had a TV that I told them that
I would like a little monitor. And dude, we rigged this thing up. It was badass. Well,
I can't imagine when you are for room inspection. Oh, dude, I had this thing so hidden in there.
Like I was it awesome. Well, this other kid, Ryan, that was from Vegas, he went to the
same school, his parents had had enough of him as well. He ended up telling so they had like
older classmates like the seniors, we were in seventh, it was seventh through 12th grade. And
he told like the we were an echo company. So the leader of echo company, his name was Monsavis.
He was he was a senior at the school. And for some reason, Ryan told Monsavis that he had a
PlayStation. Like, yeah, I think he was trying to buddy up with them. And he was like, Hey, man,
if you ever want to like, come play PlayStation with us, like come to our room, I have one. He's
like, Yeah, if you want to keep that here, you owe me $100 a week. So Ryan, yeah. And so Ryan got
scammed out of $100 a week and none of us else did. But we used to play all sorts of stuff. I got a
a racing sim like a Logitech. You had that there too? Yeah, dude, I had all this stuff so hidden.
And I was one of the better kids because you know, when you get there, you have the opportunity,
it's a fork in the road, you can do the right thing and you get rewarded, you can do the wrong
thing. And you're going to be marching around that square. So all in all, there was like,
clearly you're doing the right thing smuggling in PlayStation and yeah,
I don't think we had DoorDash as a kid. I just want to I can just picture you in your room,
like before you're going there, just like tucking this thing into your backpack.
No, I waited a couple months. I didn't know what I was getting into. When I first got there,
I basically went with just me and my cell phone and I had a charger as well. And then when I got
done there after two years, the amount of like just that we had in there, I mean,
PlayStations and racing steering wheels and you said it was a small room. I'm trying to picture
how you fit all this in there and hide it. You got to get creative, man. You got to get creative.
Apparently so. It was, I mean, we didn't have that much stuff, but you know, we decorate for,
you know, Christmas, hang up lights and stuff. And do we had our whole room decked out? I won,
not only was I a class president, I had a lot of achievements at that school.
I don't want to say I'm like the guy they still talk about there as a seventh and eighth grader,
but you're in the ring of honor. I would say I didn't have like a lot of achievements there between
I won Best Room for the Christmas Light of PlayStations in there.
Yeah, who voted on that? You and Ryan?
All the adults, like the supervisors. They're like, oh, all the kids go to
the room. Yeah, everybody loves those rooms. It must be really nice. Let's vote him.
Yeah. And so, I mean, dude, some of these kids wouldn't do laundry and they just,
I mean, when you're a 12 year old kid, you're starting to hit puberty and it just is stank.
They just stink. They're not wearing deodorant. It was just an absolute nightmare. I looked like
a Ferrari in that thing. Like I had my stuff together in there. Some of these kids were
disasters. You talk to anybody that you went to school with there?
Yeah. So my roommate Tristan Fleming, after San Diego, we drove up to Newport and I met up with
him and got to see him. So that was really cool. He owns a Luma Craft race cars, which they do a lot
of like, sand cars for Glamis and the dunes and stuff. So he's been building those, which is
really cool. And yeah, I still keep up with him. I keep up with a couple guys from there,
a couple teachers as well. Shout out Ashley Walker. Actually, Miss Walker to me, Ashley Walker to all
you guys. She was my eighth grade English teacher. You know how you always have that one teacher
throughout grade school that really stands out? I don't want to say she went above and beyond,
but she was really good at her job. She did go above and beyond actually. But the other teachers
just didn't take it as serious as Miss Walker did. And she was more of a mentor and a life coach
and really cared for us students. So big shout out to her, Mr. Sugovia. He's really cool. I know
Tristan still talks to him. I'm basically saying stuff that you don't understand because you didn't
go there. But all in all, it was... I don't know if I could find this in the candy bars or how we
got here, but... Because I would go to the student store and I would buy different stuff. I would
get beef jerky. That was a jackalings was really good back in the day. Have you ever had a California
burrito? No. So a California burrito has carne asada in it. You got cheese. You got guac,
sour cream. I would tell them, you know what? Hold the guac. Yeah. Just hold the guac.
And the place we went is called Sessies. They're closed down now. But that place was good in
Carlsbad. There was knockout pizza and knockout burger. Those were kind of the highlights. But
you got sour cream, cheese, carne asada, guacamole. But you also have french fries in the burrito. And
the french fries were a game changer. It's really good in a tortilla, of course. But really, really
good burritos. The Mexican food in California is way better than the Mexican food here in North Carolina.
I'm just going to try steers back. I don't know how we got from candy bars to California burritos.
Anyways, the best part is the memories that I made from military school and the friendships that I
made. And I did learn a lot. I mean, I would fly by myself at like 11 years old. I was an
unaccompanied minor adult. You had the little necklace on? No, I didn't even have to wear that
because I was so self-sufficient. It's pretty legit. Like, I never had to get like escorted or
anything. Like, I would just do it all by myself. We'd get this thing called a Super Shuttle.
And we'd shuttle from the school down to the San Diego airport. I would fly back to Vegas. I
started racing bandoleros, seventh grade spring break year. Started racing bandoleros. And that's
how I kind of got into racing. And then people would tease me a little bit in school, calling me
the Mario Kart kid and stuff. You sure did. Making fun of me, but asking me for autographs,
just making fun of me. But now they're worth like, a little bit.
At $4. No, they're like 35 cents on eBay, my autograph. But I was thinking about shipping
their 4.35. Oh, yeah. Yeah, the shipping and handling cost. But you know what?
All in all, I enjoyed it. The worst part was having to do like the parades at the end of the year.
And we'd be in this hot wool coat with these white pants. Dude, I'm telling you.
Flipping your wind raffler. I looked speccy, bro. Yeah. No, I wasn't in
Honor Guard or whatever it was called where they would spin it. But I was the guide on. So I'd hold
the flag and I'd be with like, I'd be the one out front carrying the flag. We need to have you do that
on a race. No, it's not. You guys don't have the discipline to be able to organize that. Well,
teach us. It would just be too much, man. You guys don't have the discipline in life for all that.
But that would suck having to stand there for like three hours in the heat at the end of the year.
One time I just straight out hit the deck. You flopped out. I flopped out. Yeah. Because when
you're standing there, you have your knees straight, you know, when you're standing there. So they
would always tell you like kind of bend your knees a little bit so you can get blood flow. Well,
kids would start flopping out at like the one hour mark. And these things were like three hours long.
And you just and we had these these big bucket hats. It kind of looked like a cam Newton hat with
like this like pom pom on the front of it. Looks like a unicorn. Dude, it was goofy. Look up.
Jamie, pull that up. Pull up Army Navy Academy. I just can't picture you standing still for three
hours. Dude, it was it took everything in me, man. I was so bored. I would like I would just like
I would love to know the doctor. You're not okay. Maybe
I'm not really seeing it.
Yeah, right there. Yeah. No, in the middle. Yeah, those see the pom poms and stuff. Yeah,
do those coats were so hot. Do you have a picture of this anywhere? I have it. That's what we took
my school picture that everybody's been teasing me about. But you know, that's a that's a part of
my life. That's a chapter in my life that I'm grateful for because I learned a lot about myself.
I can't imagine if you didn't have that discipline instilled in you. Yeah, look at that today.
Dude, that's sick. We had to wear the gloves. You still have the sword. Yeah, you should know that
was just a photo lot, man. I think if you're a senior, you got the sword. But you see those
those cords on my forget what they're called, but around my shoulders. Yeah, those are also
more achievements that I got. So no big deal. Just light work. You know, you are just a normal day.
You kind of carried a little bit of you're kind of splashing on them when you have those those
cords on your shoulder. Bring that thing back. All right, next question. People want to know,
and you mentioned this earlier, what's dad life with when it's just you and the twins?
Well, the last two days have been the first time it's ever been just me and the twins.
Normally, you know, bricks is there too, if Marissa goes and does something. So it was,
it was interesting, like being able to see just the twins because normally bricks is there too.
So they're kind of all three interacting and just watching the twins interact. It was a wild
experience for me, truthfully, because I've never, I've never seen just them together, you know, for,
you know, more than a couple, you know, 30 minutes or whatever. We were together for a day and a half,
and it was just them. So just getting to see them interact and play with each other. It was
very eye-opening. But yeah, twin life is no joke. I was talking to J.P. Morris yesterday. I was like,
how's dad life with two now? He's like, man, it's hard. And he's like, but I have no idea. Like,
you guys went from one to three. We just went one to two. And one to three is definitely a big jump.
It's crazy having twins. Just how different they are personality wise. We have boy girl,
twins, and the boy and the girl could not be more polar opposite. And so it's just crazy to see,
like, their development. And then just how they are personality wise. You're a twin too. Yeah,
shout out twins. Are you and your sister like that? Yeah, I would say we're quite a bit opposite.
But we do have like a lot in common as well. We kind of look alike. I've never met her, I don't
think. Riley told me she is just like you personality wise. And I cannot fathom that.
Yeah, we butt heads quite a bit. Unfortunately, she got a military school or now?
No, no, it's all boy school. You know what was crazy getting back onto military school
is the kids there. Like, you know how I told you like I was one of the better kids. I'll just
like tell you I wasn't like, I would go to the skate park as a kid, like quite a bit. But I
would like wear a helmet. I was like a good kid at the skate park. I don't wear wrist guards or
anything. But like, there should have worn shin guards. It's probably got to be kids like doing
like bad stuff like spray paint and like using narcotics. I was never in there. I was just there
for the love of love skating. Yeah, you know, I wanted to be the next Tony Hawk. I used to have
a stuffed animal that I named Tony because I like Tony Hawk. No, it was actually a Webkin's. It was
a monkey. Dude, Webkin's used to remember. So far that Club Penguin. Yeah, I like 30 Puffles,
but I had the two story house where it's just a step. You go to the, what was it the dojo or
whatever? Yeah, dude just hitting on like chicks talking to you're like, Hey, you're like, you're
like, at military school. Just anyway, some of these kids when I got to military school, it was
kind of like going to the skate park. I was one of the good kids and there's there's kids like
they would do crazy stuff. They would like a lot of kids smoke cigarettes there and like seventh grade.
I'd never seen anything like this. Like because I was just there at the skate park for the love
of the game. I didn't hang out in the corner with the guys doing narcotics, but the kids would smoke
cigarettes and the way they would be able to smoke the cigarettes at school, they would go in the shower
and turn the like the shower heat all the way up. So and they would they would smoke cigarettes in
there. That's for the love of the game. I mean, I got a lot of stories about military school. I'm
not going to necessarily share them right now. But maybe one day when we start our podcast that
I'll be able to share them. Yeah, be good. Yeah. Alright, what you got next Travis? Next question
is what's a guilty pleasure song that you like to listen to? A guilty pleasure song. Yeah. What? A song?
Yeah. Like a guilty pleasure song? Like, like is there a song that like you like
that no one else's likes but you like and you put on the car when you're alone or whatever?
Bro, who asked a guilty pleasure song? Why don't you just say your favorite song?
Nope, because there's some that like you're embarrassed to play it, but you love it. No,
I don't get embarrassed. Beethoven's symphony. No, Carmen's sweets to symphony, symphony or whatever.
However you say that word, that's a really good song. No, Jamie, pull that up. Carmen to Carmen
sweets. Number two, please. We can't listen to it. So I can't pull it up because a copyright. Yeah.
I don't know what a guilty pleasure song. Yeah, I never heard that. Like I know a guilty pleasure
snack. Like I've been macking sometimes like a snow cone lately, just going from like pelicans,
snowballs, you know, they have really nice, nice snow cone ice. It's like snow, not just ice chips.
Yeah, there's nothing worse than a bad snow cone. And the ice cream guy, or gal has been coming,
Cool Cat's ice cream. Oh yeah, she's been rolling through the hood lately with the with the noise
thing playing the speaker. Dude, you ever get a little melody with the birds? You ever get the ice cream?
But that's a guilty pleasure, like a dessert's like a guilty pleasure where you're like,
I know this isn't good for me, but I'm still doing it. Yeah, I've never done that with a song.
Me either. So that's why I got a I kind of got mixed up when you said it would be tough.
Can we just do favorite song? Is that okay? Do a favorite song?
Favorite song. My favorite song personally is The Mockingbird and the crow by Hardy. That's a good
song. I feel like one of my I'm not a word listener guy or Mockingbird. I'm definitely
a crow guy. Yeah, I figured. But they're not 5 30 in the morning. No. I would say my song.
I've always enjoyed Motley crew. So like wild side. Have you seen the dirt? Yeah, just so good.
It is good. Or like take me to the top. Yeah, I feel like something Motley crew is something
that I probably don't listen to it all the time. But when I do, I'm like, Oh yeah, this is a good
song. It is it gets you hyped, you know, does it's normally my Bristol walk out is normally
a Motley crew song of some sort. Mine is Mockingbird and the crow. Three minutes 25 seconds in.
It says, let's hear it. Do this, do that, do this, unclench your fist. You're too proud. You're too
loud or too proud. It won't work. We'll tell that to 25,000 red necks with my dumb face on their
t shirt. Because like my whole career, I've I've been a little bit different in outgoing compared
to most guys in the garage. And though I said, Hey, man, you basically don't do this, don't do that.
And I feel like I have good support from the fans. Yeah, I'm very grateful. And it's been pretty cool.
You know, so fan favorite. I fan vote winner. What four years in a row. Yeah, we'll call it three
and a half unofficial fourth in a row. Yeah, chase back to the music. Do you get to play your own
music or is Brooks and the twins have like their all the kid music playing at the house? Brooks
like my truck. Yeah, Brooks. Brooks likes Hardy. So he'll listen to know that one word. Oh yeah,
Braille and I think it's who says that it's like you can touch. Yeah, he likes that song. So Brooks
has a little playlist and it's a good playlist that I listen to. And the twins like we listened to
a lot of force Frank. So that that's a top one for us. And then Brooks listens to he lists force
Frank should have been a cowboy hunting fish and loving every day. Country girl shake it for me.
Five o'clock somewhere. Chattahoochee. And there's one other song that's like his playlist. And so
it's pretty good little playlist that's normally going on. Nice. Oh, I like Meek Mill as well. Meek
Mill. That's your guilty Philly anthem. It should be a national anthem. Like if we came up with a
like a side a side piece song for the national anthem. I think I'd be so good. Yeah, just like a
kind of more God bless America. I think it should be Dreams of Nightmare by Meek Mill. That is also
one of my favorite songs. It gets me hyped up. I really enjoy it. Really? No, I think it was to it.
You have. Yes, you've heard this. Phantom so big it can't even fit in the parking spot.
I don't know. Maybe I have. I don't say a word. I don't say a word. You don't sound like I'm sure
how it sounds, but my my my maybach music. I have no idea. Keep going. No, I do. I do really enjoy
that song. I used to pray for times like this, you know, so it's it's good. You know, that's a great
song. 21 Savage is also great. Do you like 21? I've heard of 21 21 21. I've heard of him. 21 is
great. Sunday Best is a great song. Who sings it? I don't know. I'm not great with like faces and names.
Not that the singer is kind of like a radio person, like, you know, their voice more than
but I'm not like if you ask me who's in that movie or who sings this song, I'm really bad at that.
That's that's actually one of my things you gotta work on. Yeah, one of my weaknesses
I'm very vulnerable about and I'm willing to talk about it. Well, denial is the first step. So
I'm open about it. Like, I don't have a problem with that. But at the same time, it is something
that I've been really working on lately. Just grinding through Spotify or what? No, I'm not a
Spotify guy. And this is going to be a hot take. But I'm an Apple music guy. And I'm a sound I'm a
SoundCloud guy. You know, I've been getting into is the mixes. Like, like big booty mix and stuff is
really fire. You ever listen to those? It's like where they remix all the songs together. Yeah,
they like mash them. Yeah, we listen to it on the way to Phoenix. Pretty fire.
And it's like uplifting. You know, good about that. I'm a Pandora guy. I'm Pandora.
People hate on Pandora. It's perfect. It's like a radio. You just need more than six skips. I feel
like if you're gonna listen to it for a while, well, buddy, you can afford pretty good money.
You can. Yeah, it drives me nuts. I paid 899 the other night for Paramount Plus and just watch
Conor McGregor fight for five seconds. But you can afford to just get the I don't listen to it
enough though to justify the spin. Dude, it's like five bucks. What is Pandora Plus or whatever
they call it? Pandora premium. Dude, I used to listen to this one station in high school
in photography class. $120 a year chase. That's a little much. You can.
That's why you're gonna tell yourself this next win. You're gonna treat yourself with premium Pandora.
All right, bricks. No more instruments. We're getting Pandora premium. Dude, I got some
stupid as radio stations on Pandora. Now that I'm scrolling through them all.
Oh, I used to listen to Coldplay Radio. That's what it was. Coldplay. I used to love Coldplay Radio.
And then they would have like other songs on there that you I like finding music on Pandora.
Because like a song will come up and you're like, this is a great song. And then I'll put it to my
Apple music. I've got a little bit of beef with Pandora when I've used it. I joke with Marissa
all the time. You can be on any radio station. It can be a Christian one. It can be rock and roll.
It can be like Jack Jams. A Morgan Walton song is going to be in the first three. No,
for us. I don't know. Every single time I listen to different. I don't have any channel.
I don't have any of those. I don't have any of those.
Mine are different. Mine's like 21 Savage. You can also pick like if you're on a station,
do you want just that artist or if you want because. Well, that's just that's the premium.
Yeah, I don't have that option on next win chase. Basic Pandora. All right, you guys want to hear my
my recent radio stations. Sublime Radio, Jack Johnson Radio, Heading South Radio.
21 Savage Chief Keefe Radio, Post Malone 90s alternative radio. Zach Bryant radio trap
rap trap rap's fire Green Day. Green Day kind of gets over shadow blink 182 radio gunna radio
skizzy Mars radio. Then if I'm like is he Mars? Bro, they're good. He's good. Johnny Cash.
But I've been playing a lot of harmonica lately. So I've been listening to songs and like,
yeah, skizzy is awesome. I like skizzy Mars. I've never heard of him a day in my life.
Sorry to build a playlist for chase. Oh, I'll build you. You want what kind of vibe do you want?
No, you just build it. Just build it and surprise me. Yeah, no,
no, skizzy though, because I don't know. No, skizzy is good, dude. If you got a heater from
skizzy, you can put it on there. Yeah, he doesn't have many, but I got some good like
SoundCloud links. I'll send you. Okay. I think that might be a good spot in this segment.
Why? No, we need more questions. Yeah, give us give us at least one more one more question here.
What was your first big purchase? That's a good one. I know mine.
Mine was when I went cup racing. I'd always loved like the 1950s Ford F 100s, like with just
the huge fenders and everything. So when I went cup racing, my rookie year, I went and bought a
1956 Ford F 100 and I barely drive it. I don't know why. I know. Having multiple cars is not.
Yeah, you can't. You only drive one at once. Yeah, and then you're just going to drive the
reliable one. Yeah, like the battery is always dead on it. Like the air conditioning doesn't
really work in it. It's hot. Yeah. So it's like, it has to be a 75 and sunny day for you to be like,
I'll take that day out. And then you're driving and you're like, man, I hope the brakes work.
I hope the steering doesn't fall apart on this thing. That's how I feel too. On Sundays.
Um, my first big purchase. Now I'm feeling insecure after hearing Jesus.
Yeah, I wouldn't say like I, um, I splashed too much.
I remember being here at Junior Matters Sports and I told myself when I was racing here,
next race I win, I'm going to get a pair of chunky dunk shoes and they're like $1,200.
They're my favorite pair of shoes. So we're kind of in different tax brackets on our purchases.
After that, that's what came to mind before you answered. And then now that you answered,
I'm feeling a little self-conscious about my decision to say the shoes. So
to a lot of our pair of shoes, there's a lot. Yeah, I know. He wouldn't even buy Pandora premium.
I know, but he'll buy an expensive vehicle and put zero down at 9% interest.
No, that got paid off right away. What other purchases I know? Let's see if we can help you
out here. I don't own a house. I've just been trying to stack my paper lately, you know, so.
So you're renting? Yeah, I've always rented. I didn't know that. Yeah, I probably, I mean,
looking back, I probably should have like tried to buy something back in the day, but
I'm building a place right now, but I would say
you bought a lot of golf clubs. How many golf clubs do you think you own?
Because then they ain't cheap. Yeah, I probably have like 15 putters.
Yeah, and different drivers. They're not cheap either. Like that's kind of, I enjoy that. Like,
how many head covers you think you have? I got a lot of head, I'm a head cover. Fnatic. Fiend.
I like them. I like the head covers, man. It's kind of like a helmet, like painting a helmet.
I think I've probably went golfing with you 30, call it 30 to 40 times. All 30 to 40 times,
you bought a head cover wherever we play. Yeah, it's a good way to remember where you're at.
It's a good way to show your personality on the course. We were at Wayne County's Finest in
Michigan and you even, I think it was Wayne County. I don't know where we were at. Jackson
County's Finest. Yeah, this place. The grass is actually pretty nice up there though. The fairway
in the green was all the same. How about that stretch you went on where you're like four,
five parts in a row? Yeah, that was crazy. I normally shoot maybe one part in three rounds.
Yes. It was electric. He was playing so good. So envious. I think it cost what,
$12 to play 18 there? Yeah, it was cheap. It was nice. It's hard to do in this world these days.
The head cover costs more than the round of golf. Yeah, it's just inflation.
Just inflation, you know, but man, big purchase. I bet your golf clubs cost more than the F100 did.
I mean, how nice is the F100? We can't trust it to break or anything. So
it's less than 35 grand. There's no way I have 35 grand in golf clubs.
Just one putter is like 1500 and you have 30. What? Where are you buying golf clubs?
No. Yeah, you do. I think I got scammed. Okay. I bought a circle tee.
You're about to start back pedaling all the way back to that wall. No, I'm not. I bought a circle tee
off this website. I thought something was fishy because it's only like 350 bucks.
And it came. Just 350 bucks? Yeah, for a circle tee. I don't know. I thought I was getting such a
good deal, but I'm pretty sure it's fake because it doesn't look real. Well, I would say probably
check out like just the quality looks like. Shout out, Scotty Cameron. I was able to. So the,
so I had a guy who worked on my car in the Canaan series out west. His name is Denny Moyer. His
daughter is Scotty Cameron's executive assistant. So when we were in San Diego, they're right up the
road from San Diego. We got to go to where they build all the putters and it was really cool to
see all that. So I would say, sorry, I'm kind of taking my time on this on a big purchase.
I did buy, I went to this autograph session last year in Kansas and I was sitting there and there
was a single cab F-150. I was just about to say you got like seven vehicles and
I was sitting there and they had these exhaust pipes that came out the side. So I'm like,
that's not normal. That's got to be something special. So I said, what is this thing? And the
guy's like, man, I'm doing an autograph session there. Unpaid just for the love of the game.
Ended up having to pay to go to the autograph session because I'm like, fire this thing up. I
want to hear how this sounds. He's like, oh, it's a 50 supercharged. I didn't know what sleeper trucks
are, but now I do. And he fired it up and then he's like, you got to go drive around. So I'm
driving out of this thing down these streets in Kansas and Duluth can't not Duluth. I forget the
name of the town. I was by Kansas. And I'm ripping it up through these streets, dude, driving out
of this thing. It's got like 100 miles on it. So it's definitely not broken in and just rod
checking it. Yeah. And I'm like, this thing's pretty cool. And it was like half the price of a
Raptor R for like 700 horsepower. I was like, can't be that. So I ended up getting it right there on
the spot. Yeah, you don't make a rational, irrational purchases at all. I don't. Yeah, that was like,
that was like the only time I've really like splashed. Okay, you know, yeah. I don't know about
that. But you tell yourself whatever you want. Yeah, I'm pretty modest. I feel like gambling.
I'm from Vegas. Like, I don't go there to make money. I'll go there. I'll take 200, 300 bucks out,
play with that all night. Yeah. You know, sometimes it goes quick. Sometimes it's like how Dover was
where you can spend it quick. And then it's like, where did that go? Yeah, but you had fun and you
tried your best. Yeah. I think that's a good spot. Alrighty. Speaking of helmets, I did you want to do
a helmet trade? Are we doing this on this part? Yeah, let's do it. Alright. I haven't wrote anything
on mine. But you want to go get yours real quick? Yeah. Or are we getting up and doing pull that helmet
up? No, the other the white one. Alright. Thank you. Yeah, it's sitting right here. Yeah, I'm prepared.
So I had asked Chase, I've done a couple of helmet trades with my good friends like Tony Riley,
Tony Stewart. Who else have I done a home trade Travis Pastrana? That's a sick one. Zane, Todd,
and now to do a help. I've never swapped helmets. I've given a helmet to Tony, but I never got one
back. So it wasn't a full swap. So this is your first one? That's my first swap. Yeah, that's the
first one. Well, here's a helmet that I've been wearing this year. And I wanted to give it to you.
And we become really good friends throughout the years. I haven't wrote anything on it yet.
That's a sick one too. Little chrome, little chrome piece, Austin Poland. We're both getting our
helmets painted by Austin Poland now. So yeah, the chrome dome is sick. It got chipped on the back,
so it has a little bit of character. It's alright. I just saw that this week and I was like,
that's why I'm getting that one. What? No, I think it's kind of cool. It is cool. It's like
character. I like the character on it, but I still need to write something. All I have is a
ballpoint right here. Oh, let's not do a ballpoint pen on it. What should I write? You can wait if
you want to write something. Yeah, I'll probably wait. Jamie, hold that, Sharpie. I'll probably wait.
So this is actually the helmet that was the last year at SHR, the Mahindra tractors one. So this
would have been a teammate helmet to yours. That was the year I did a lot of sprint car racing and
dirt racing with Mahindra. So I told him to put dirt and all kinds of stuff on it. But yeah,
this will be the only helmet outside of Tony Stewart that I've ever given away.
Well, you're not giving it away. You're trading. I'm trading it. Yeah, at least getting one back.
I gave one away to Tony. Yeah, the allotment count is still the same. Yeah. So there you go.
Let's go. I think it's cool. The helmets I've always really been into helmet art.
I got some chip on the back of mine too for you. Oh yeah, you do. I think it's cool with like the
really chip. That's probably from getting out. Yeah, hitting it on the little latch. Yeah.
But super cool. Let's see what you said. Noah, you are a piece of
shit. He didn't write that. You do have some trash. That's the worst hand ride
together. No, we may have not. I am very dyslexic. Can we get back? I never finished that story.
I'm very dyslexic in the treasure box. We'll get to that later. Either way, I've had a big learning
disability and dyslexia and reading comprehension kind of my whole career and life. And so just
bear with me. I've gotten better at it, but that's another thing I'm very vulnerable about that I'm
willing to express. Noah, we may not have started out on the best terms, but
you want me to decipher it for you? Yeah. Can you read it? Yeah. All right, Noah,
we may have not started out on the best terms, but proud and happy to call you one of my best
friends today. Keep being you and I signed it. Let's go. Actually, if I'm fact, I have a helmet
with Chase's picture on it that I run in the Cup Series this year. Oh yeah, yeah. Yeah. So
Chase has become a great friend of mine. His family is awesome and glad to call you buddy.
So thank you. I'm looking at this now, hosting the Dell Junior Download. I know. All right, guys.

This is a job for Indeed Sponsored Jobs. Getting back to where I was talking about like the treasure
box. So I had to go to this, I don't want to call it an after-school program, but I struggled with
reading comprehension as a kid. I really didn't like reading very much and I'm dyslexic so reading
was very hard for me and I was always like so screwed when they would like popcorn me, you
know popcorn? Oh yeah, you'd read a paragraph. That was the worst. And then they'd be like popcorn,
I want Noah to read next. Were you acting like you were asleep or like f***ing out? No, popcorn was
the worst. Would you ever like and I would like try and go to the bathroom. I wasn't really a big
bathroom trip taker during class. When we were reading. If you know like okay I'm gonna be 10th
in line, what am I gonna have to read? I would pre-read.
You have to read before it gets to you. Dude, it literally would be like the dog what was and I'd
read really quiet and be really at the time I was very insecure about it. Now that I'm an adult
and there's more things that matter in life than being a good reader, I do read books to the now.
Really? Yeah. What's the last book you read? It was called, was it with me and Las Vegas in the
second grade class? It was Brooks's book. No, it's not. Buster goes to Victor Lake. I've been reading
Not Today by Mike Avila. I've never heard of it. Well you should download. Jamie order them one
from Amazon please. Order them a book. An audio book doesn't count as reading. It's not an audio
book, it's paperback. I don't even do Kindle or nothing. All right. Or anything. That's not a
proper grammar. I really liked Math as a kid. I was a math guy. I was very good at math.
Nine times nine. 49. Oh, 81 dude. Nailed it. So good at math. Jamie cut that out.
Not even close. What do you mean one thing if you're like 72 I would have maybe got it.
No, I'm scatterbrained right now. Give me another one. Give me a time stable.
Back to the paperback. I'm not like what is it 12 divided by 62
seven times four. 28. Yeah, seven times six. I always struggled with this one. 42. I was getting
there but I always struggled with six plus seven. And I always struggled with that's not a 67
joke. That's not I struggled with that and I struggled with five plus seven 12. I know for some
reason I always have to be like seven. I could whatever reason I wish I could go back in time
and pay money to watch you take a test. We should send Noah back to seventh grade.
Well you would get a show are you smarter than a fifth grade. No you would actually get a lot of
bang for your buck because you would get a long performance out of me because
I was able to get extra time during my test. Oh yeah. You know what's all right. We're just
completely going off the road. Okay so anyways real quick. Now I'm going to ask you what's the
one thing in school that you did that nobody would know about unless you just went to school with you
like whether it was a play or performance or no I wasn't a theater guy. I was well like sometimes
you have to take classes that like you're forced to take and you'd have to you know do like a
yeah I was really good at drawing. I always liked drawing and like doing artwork and stuff. I think
that's why I like helmet paint and stuff. I really enjoyed drawing but I would say something that not
a lot of people know is that Riley and I in fifth grade we had to take band class or choir. I was in
band and well there's actually two things. There's we had to do band class and I played the trombone
and Riley played the saxophone. I could see Riley being a sax guy. Yeah I don't I don't really like
the I don't really like the the woodwinds because you have to like get the reed wet and I don't like
you know when you eat a popsicle and you bite like I don't like biting it. Yeah yeah it drives me nuts.
So I didn't I didn't really like that so that's why I chose the trombone but if we would this is
actually probably goes hand to hand on one of the small reasons why I got departed to military
school. We would take our trombones home and we would in our saxophones and we would we would
play them as loud as we could in the house like the drum set. Yeah that's me right now. And we'd be
like no we got to practice you know but yeah it was it was you know school was
tough. I would say I was one of the like I did well in school when I was homeschooled and stuff but
when I was there I just I didn't apply myself like I would be doing my homework for the next class
you know the class before and I didn't apply myself I would say that I do have some
knowledge in a sense. Ballin' knowledge or yeah I got I'm I would say more street smarts than anything
but I retain your math is great. I can retain. No dude I have one slip up man. I have one slip up.
So you're a good artist. Yeah I like drawing. I was terrible. I was so bad like the worst. I mean
you saw my handwriting it's terrible right. Like if I ever have kids I'm just gonna struggle when
they come home with like hopefully they get my genetics and can bring home good art because
if they bring so bad some like bad art home I'm gonna it's got to be tough like you got to hang it
up on the fridge. Yeah mine was so bad but funny enough so third grade we had this thing. It was
like the Indiana conservation something you had like it was like you you're forced to do it you had
to draw some like picture of nature right and I had not done it at all. You struggled with landscape
yeah so that for my mom gets all these stencils does this whole thing. Well I win my class
then I win the grade. I won the whole school then I won the county one. This thing goes to
Washington D.C. for like nationals. I did not do any of it. My mom stenciled the whole thing
and I had to get up on stage to talk about like my inspiration about how I drew this and all this
stuff and yeah I won the state of Indiana like art competition. I couldn't draw anything. It was
terrible but yeah that's that's my mom's a great artist with stencils yeah. See I'm more of a free
hand guy. Yeah I can't I can't draw. Ladies and gentlemen let's get to the next part of the show.
Dirty Modo this segment of Dirty Modo is brought to you by Fandle. Obviously got a big weekend ahead
of going to North Wilkesboro. I don't think there's been a points race there since what 96.
It's been a while. Were you even alive in 96. No that's wild. I wasn't even a twinkle.
Yeah I was alive last time they they ran a North Wilkesboro points race but 450 laps
a lot of laps. I feel like this might be the most physical race of the entire season. Yeah I
was I thought it was gonna be 350 and then we started looking at it a couple weeks ago and I was
like oh man and then you look at the weather. It's gonna be like 97 on Saturday. The second stage I
think stage one ends at lap 80 second stage ends at lap 260. It is a long stage. Yeah I think it's
so North Wilkesboro to me I don't know if you feel this way. I feel like at the all-star race it
always feels so physically demanding compared to like a Bristol or Martinsville because you're
just ripping around there like there's no straight away. Normally like you have at least a little bit
of straight away to relax circle and yeah and especially when we started running the top like
you're just ripping like I have so much there is a lot of like like you do feel like you get
you're just pinned on the right side the whole time. So it's going to be I think pretty physically
demanding. It's gonna be hot. slick. Tires will hopefully wear out. Obviously the
Toyota has been pretty dominant all season long. I don't know if that'll be the case. Truthfully it
Wilkesboro. I hope it is. Cap. Cap. I hope it's I hope it'll be good. I hope the Toyota's dominate.
I mean we'll be good. I mean I definitely think we'll be good but I don't think that we will have
the advantage of downforce like we would at another racetrack. Like I think the Pinsky cars
will be really good. Yeah it'll even out. Yeah I think that everybody like the whole field is
going to be pretty good. You're not going to have this huge spread in in the field like we would at
you know if we were going to Chicago land or Kansas or Vegas or something like that.
So yeah it'll be interesting how that plays out in season tournament. We got a Todd Gillin the
Gila goat the pickle boy the god the Todd father going up in said city chase Elliott. I feel like
this is literally Max Holloway versus Conor McGregor like that's how I felt. So at Atlanta I was up
against Chase and we go out on the dude they were so loud when you guys were walking out. Oh my gosh
so I'm standing up there. They have like you know the tail of the tape essentially and I'm
I'm up there. You know like I never really get loud cheers. I have a couple people yelling my
you know cousins and aunt and uncles up there and I'm staying out there and then they announced
Chase Elliott and he comes out and stands up there and I literally felt like that's probably
what Max Holloway felt like against McGregor. The whole place just wants him to win. They could
care less that you're even there. Yeah it was a very unique thing to be a part of.
Speaking of driver intros and cheers on the truck ride around we get in the back of those
picker trucks they drive us around. A lot of the fans I think thought I was Zane so they were
a good week to F you and flipping me off and saying F you Zane and I'm like doggy's
please back there. He's in the it was the best ride around I've ever had. I was up there with
Chase and the whole place is screaming. Have you ever had any screaming my name but it was really
for the other chase. What have I ever had any awkward ride arounds whether it be a guy that you
particularly don't get along with or I would say awkward ones but my favorite interaction I've had
was with Joey Logano. We were at Richmond and at Richmond they like I mean you're literally from
me to you to the fans right like they would stop because they were all turning them around so you're
just sitting there like with nowhere to go up in turn one. Yeah and this fan is literally from me to
you absolutely dog cussing Logano and I'm just standing there like watching it all happen and
Joey just keeps looking ahead like because he can't really like you know banter back and forth with
him as much and he has nowhere to go and this guy is just giving him an earful and that was like
the first time I'd ever seen a fan just absolutely rip somebody and it was probably my favorite
experience it was pretty fun to watch but anyways yeah in season tournament Todd versus Chase I
could see Todd sneaking it out. I could too. Like Todd is always fast on the short tracks.
It's definitely a long race yeah it's a lot of attrition you can we can have another upset you
yeah I could see Todd sneaking through there. He's the modern day Ty Dillon.
Kind of yeah it's Martinsville tire Todd rips it more as far as being in a similar position. Yeah
yeah he's the underdog. I love he said modern day like Ty Dillon didn't pull off last year.
Yeah modern day. Yeah it is modern day technically. The other one Christopher Bell versus Ryan Blaney
that's going to be an awesome matchup. Christopher won there in the all-star race Blaney is always
extremely fast on the short tracks so yeah I don't know that's a hard one to go with I feel like
because it could go either way it's just going to come down to you know who executes truthfully
better because I feel like they're both going to be up front and in the mix who you got in that one.
Made me to read you the two names again. Christopher Bell versus Ryan Blaney one plus one what's that
equal 21 I would say I don't know Blaney give me Blaney he's on a hot street momentum has been key
for me in my career and writing that good momentum I feel like he can back it up obviously it's not
good for you based off of chicagoland you won the race you finished last this past weekend so here's
a wild stat for you I've won six cup races right four of those the next week has been Atlanta
oh I want to say three just a nightmare I want to say three out of those four I finished dead last
literally 36th I guess this week I wasn't dead last I beat BJ but yeah not uh not up there on the
stat sheet kind of wild stat calm what you want folks but you can't calm broke no BJ is the man
BJ is the best BJ is one of the coolest living the American dream oh yeah all right well I'll

like um comment uh speaking of comments share positive comments only please no you guys can
comment whatever you want but for the ones who comment negatively they don't really come to the
races for whatever reason because not that many people are staying on business tentos down when
they get there they definitely do when they're like it's one in a blue moon that somebody will
actually stand on business get I get a lot of hate on social media people talking they don't
come to the races or they just don't stay on business tentos down it's definitely different
when you're online versus in person I will agree with that it's pretty for whatever reason I mean
I'm not asking to be hated on it just the people that do hate on me they never like I mean I love
I wouldn't say I love I respect when somebody's yelling stuff at me in a negative way because
it's like damn respect that guy's I personally I mean I'm not asking to get hundreds of them but I'd
love the negative comments because half the time they're truthfully hilarious well they are and and
like I don't ever the information is like halfway right but halfway wrong and the wrong part is like
so like just yeah so often left field yeah but the part that's a little bit and then they'll start
and then fans will start like defending and then they're getting into beefs and then you're just
going to spirals quit it's so funny it is funny I enjoy a good negative comment I sometimes used
to save them and then I would like go back and hit them back with it like four months removed

About this episode
Noah Gragson and Chase Briscoe join Dale Jr. for a wide-ranging chat that blends Atlanta race reflections with off-track stories. They describe a start that felt like “a rocket ship with no gas in it,” then talk about how pit-stop adjustments changed the grip and even helped them get back on the lead lap. Between NASCAR talk, there’s plenty of humor—meeting Figgy Earnhardt, fishing tales, and even helmet swaps—plus a look at how bonus points tighten the championship chase.
