"It probably only breaks when it's going fast. When it's going slow it probably works fine." Go back and watch the replay. Watch him driving back to pit road. That rear end was ALL over the place when he was trying to get back, and you could literally see the right rear wheel flopping left and right as he came up onto the banking. When a toe link breaks in these new IRS setups, the wheel attached to it is free to move throughout its entire range of toe adjustment, and will be influenced by whether you're on or off throttle. It's literally the same torque-steer effect you'll see on a FWD car, but on the rear and with absolutely no way for the driver to control it. *In my opinion, as someone with no dog in the fight (neither an Elliott fan NOR a Larson fan),* I don't believe he initiated the spin on purpose. I believe that the toe link was damaged when he hit the wall, broke a few laps later, and caused the spin. AT THE SAME TIME, I don't think Elliott did anything to try and stop it. Once the spin started, I think he let it go, matted the throttle to keep it off the wall, and then held it down out of frustration. Larson fucked up, and Elliott got pissed (IMO rightfully so. He had overcome multiple nearly-day-ending problems through the race, worked his way back up to fight for the lead, and then got taken out by his own teammate throwing a bad block. I know I would be pissed, and I'm sure a lot of you would be too). Larson apologized and took responsibility, Elliott needs to man up and move on. Teams can't afford grudges during normal years, let alone during this parts shortage.

This guy said he knows he did it on purpose because he was able to drive it into the pits. I see cars with only three wheels drive into the pits last week. This guy is supposed to be a professional spotter wow. You better go ahead and make that house payment.

“Real act of a champion right there.” Brett, probably

Kyle didn’t solely blame the spotter. He said it was a little bit of both. He said Tyler Monn could’ve helped and that he himself should’ve been more aware.

Isn’t TJ the only one who’s actually sat in a race car before?

Freddie needs to worry more about his 20 th place driver.

Love this podcast and I really do hope it’s around for a long time!

He had the same spin earlier in the race when the same part broke the first time. Only thing intentional was staying on the track knowing that a spin was likely.

Brett is the Skip Bayless of NASCAR

Brett is insufferable sometimes man. Guy is calling Chase out after he literally had the same exact issue and it took about 9 pit stops to fix before getting his laps back. He announced it and everything lmao. What a joke too comparing the situation to Harvick where he didn’t even spin out lmao. He got wrecked

I find it odd that after Chase helped Lawson out last year with a win…the #5 car pulls some shenanigans….just saying

I actually own a gen 4 Monte Carlo and I'll tell you that just moving around in the driveway is hard, I can't tell how far away my other cars are or the fence, I can't even imagine being completely strapped in at 190mph trying to judge a distance

mark my words.....the remarks made on this show today will not age well.

Teammates are very important to Kyle. He would never do anything like that on purpose. Kyle is not a fighter by any means but stood up to Sammy Swindell at the Chili Bowl several years ago over Sammy messing with one of Kyle’s teammates.

Chase and Kevin was a thing that happened over the course of a entire year. Chase said Harvick cut his tires by crossing him multiple times thorugh out the year. Eventually you have to show people you not to be. messed with. When Dale Earnhardt Sr. Crashed guys people loved it . But people knew with him you were going to race him fair.

“Kyle doesn’t have a spotter for 30 races a year”…. I race on dirt myself with no spotter, and I am sure that is much different then a 2 mile oval on asphalt. I totally think this was a racing incident, and I’m a Chase fan.

Well someone in this video knows all about spinning on purpose.

I need full episodes where I can watch y’all! And I need an unfiltered version 😂😂😂

He didn’t do it on the purpose. The rear end link broke. Independent rear end suspension linkage broke so it was like on ice the rear end going one way and the front end the other.

Love how they are saying chase spun on purpose and if u go back and watch a clip when he is driving around back to his pit stall and the back of the car is bouncing all over the place and then spent a significant time on pit road. Correction it was a toe link in the rear end not a steering component.

Glad this all happened. I like story lines. Makes the sport fun to watch.

A good solution is to stop having a caution for every spin. Give them a chance to gather it up.

l think chase is getting tired of playing 2nd fiddle to Larson. Both are great drivers but Kye has a little more expensive.

Everyone knows Hendrick squashed that argument that night,, I'm excited for that 8 and 3 car this year

They did say that at Fontana the spotters do have poor viewing of the track.

Gotta love rivalries

Thanks for your hard work! 🙏 🇺🇸

WHERE IS DBC VIA IHEART RADIO APP?! I’m missing my favorite content

I am also sick of Chase trying to alter races. People said I was just whining as a Harvick guy but here it is again.

I'm thinking he meant he was gonna finish the race and wasn't gonna pull out early because a teammate is leading.

I don't remember Larson specifically calling out his spotter.

anyone know what happened with kyle at Daytona with his spotter?

These spotters just wish they had a driver like larson

Chase did not spin himself out. Listen to the track data. Data dosent lie

So your own driver has spun on purpose before??? HMMMMM Freddy.

If you look at the wheels of Chase Elliott’s front end when he’s spinning they don’t turn in the spin even though you can see him turning the wheel.

Did they had a meeting yet?

I love the take of a champion changing race outcomes. If any Toyota/Penske/Haas driver did that they'd be getting booed for a while

No name racer kid starts in a poorer (middle class) family. Another kid gets pandered to his whole life, his dad is a former cup driver, and he has all the tools. The rich kid has success at the top. "no name kid" gets a shot with the same team and absolutely dominates. Makes the rich kid look mediocre. Rich kid gets upset.

My motorhome was at the Apex of turns 1 and 2, for a solid 8 laps we all could see Chase running the bottom absolutely struggling to keep that car straight around the corner, it was only a matter of time before he pushed it just a little too hard. But I also never heard that radio communication about not caring who's in front.

Bubbas spotter needs to look at him and the way bubbles drives.

The only one of these guys I can even tolerate is TJ, the other two are intolerable. I think they’re jealous most of the time, or either drunk.

I don't even know who the guy on the right is, but he has a clear bias against Chase Elliot. I'm not even a fan of Chase myself but you can clearly tell when this guy is starting to reach. Chase hit the wall multiple times that day. He was able to get back up there after those wall taps. He tapped it again when Kyle threw that maneuver. Chase has no reason to believe the car will suddenly spin out. It's the last 5 laps or so and this guy just demands Chase to give up because he tapped a wall? And so what if he drove it to pit lane? You can drive a lot of cars in a straight line and down a small turn even when they're dealing with destroyed suspension. I'd say the guy on the right needs to stop having a vendetta against someone just because they're popular. There's genuinely no reason to be reacting the way he is.

The car is much harder to drive. This is great for the sport. Track position is everything. May have hit a seem and moved up a line into chase or was thinking he would fall in line to catch the leader. After Larson ditched chase in the 500 and wrecks make it look worse but thankfully no team orders on who is supposed to win.

u guys are right

imagine; the spotter saying outside as opposed to outside , fast

Finally someone says something about Chase. If only it was a problem when he literally changed the outcome at Bristol

You hear his spotter say 9 outside outside outside but he didn't know he was there

this is nothing new at Hendrick. i remember when JJ and Jeff got into eachother several times in their careers, often one right after the other

MR.H.WILL GET EVERYONE OVER THIS HE AIN'T GONNA TAKE SIDES.BOTH ARE GREAT AND HE DAMN SHO AIN'T GONNA FIRE EITHER ONE OF EM.

I'm a Chase Elliott fan, and that last line about Chase being better was spot on.

I still yet to hear anybody explain what would be the point of Chase spinning on purpose

The bottom line is Chase will definitely wreck Kyle before the end of the season

5:35 which driver was this?

Breaking rear toe links like crazy

The first thing I thought of was Chase spun out in purpose. But after he was headed to the pits that 9 was fish tailing all over at pit road speed. Seemed like something broke or maybe he broke it. Haha.

The camera showed that Chase turned the steering wheel a hard left going down the back stretch

He deserves to be !!! Larson is so entitled

Larson is better than most drivers. The accident happend super quick. Elliott needs to chill...also Elliott should be fine for trying to take out the leader.

This is a completely different car. Last year, Kyle's wins were not close. The Gen-6 was very dirty air handling issues. The Mickey Mouse Ears is a well-known Chad Knaus and Jimmy Johnson meeting with Rick Hendrick. Trust me, I think the issue is over. If it isn't it will be.

Sure looked like Elliott spun himself

I mean don't every decision anyone makes out there change the outcomes of races? He helped Larson win by stopping Harvick from winning, that was to stop harvick, he didn't do anything to cause harm to Larson at Auto Club he just let him know hey man I was there.

It's kinda like the Clint bowyer deal that time.

i like larson a lot but it seemed like larson is letting that championship go to his head and putting blame on others

He meant I'm not coming in to pit no matter who is leading.

Brett you need to worry about getting your car in position rather than a champion who actually has a shot at a win

Lol Freddie, you can't say anything, about intentional spins. I guess you forgot about bubbas intentional spin at Texas in 2019 that screwed larson.

Like Jr said. If you r not cheering. Your not trying hard enough. I don't like Chase much. But he is a racer. Respect.

Completely agree with Brett.

Chase Elliot fans just butthurt he's no longer top dog at HMS. Plus if any other driver spun on purpose that could have possibly altered the outcome Chase Elliot fans would be throwing a fit per the norm.

Why is it different when Kyle Busch does it or when Bubba does it

Do these guys ever publicly apologize after they are proved wrong? I mean if they are gonna publicly criticize or call out someone, If they were men they would.

Brett looking for a job at Hendrix. He ain't got a dog in this fight my ass.

Very good points all around. Sounds like they need some practice together on some internet racing. Teammates is a bad deal for the whole organization

Wish Brett can “just be better” and shut his mouth more then he runs it

Bet he's just as "angry" at Keselowski.

if anyone's looking for a spotter in cup, ring me up!

It’s when you go from top dog which Chase was two second on the totem pole is the problem I think Larson is only getting started he’s finally in good equipment and he is a champion his first year there just my thoughts

Is that the girl that’s on the Dale Jr podcast now?

Kyle Larson has a win, Alex Bowman has a win , now we will see Chase Elliot get his win , and William Byron get his win.

Look let Mr Hendricks handle the situation.

He didn’t do it on purpose. The same part broke that broke the first time he hit the wall. Dale knows this. Too bad he’s not there to tell you your wrong.

This is a terrible view coming from spotters. They know that when cars hit the wall it breaks parts and as a result makes the car harder to drive. Imagine trying to drive your car down the interstate with a wheel pinned inward or outward to the body. He had to come down pit road twice to have the problem fixed. Come on guys do better.

These chicks are hilarious!

Larson did not put the whole blame on his spotter, he said it was the both of them. Where Tyler could've gave him the heads up about Chase, while he himself should've been more aware rather than just focusing on the Joey. However, with Joey's history, can you really blame the spotter for worrying about Joey in a side by side going in to a corner scenario? Lol

'I'm mad because the guy IN FRONT of me moved to a line I didn't want him to be on'.. Typical millennial behavior.

What in the hell is wrong with saying you screwed up on television ? You guys are nuts !

New drivers need to grow up. Jeff Gordon rule - just know you got one coming. No apologies, no kumbaya. You wrecked me and I owe you one.

Elliot better shut his face,,, not like they gonna bounce, Larson outta, HRC...

Omg it's a racing incident. He just lucky he finally caught the 5 car, which has the same equipment and puts it on the little Golden boy chase every race.

I remember being baked af a few weeks Ago thinking that this year those two are gonna end up hating each other.. god I love pot I was so right

Chase since his championship has become an Danny Busch Brad Joey Kevin all in.

Chase is just butthurt that someone else came it to Hendrick and is outshining him. He feels entitled since he’s the sports most popular driver. I don’t like it one bit, Chase HAS to do better.

Don’t worry Freddie, Bubba makes so many bone headed mistakes on his own you won’t be needing to take any blame.

Nope I can't agree. I'm not even a Chase Elliot fan but telling drivers to clean themselves up even more than what the Corporations have already done is only going to further make the sport boring. Rivalries, cheating, fighting, and racing is what makes it fun, otherwise all the critics that say nascar is nothing but left turns would be proven correct. The drivers must have their own personalities, character, and freedom to act out as they want. When Kyle Busch retires, Nascar will lose excitement, even when he cleaned his act up some - it lost some excitement. Love them or hate them it doesn't matter whichever driver you choose, as long as you have emotions to them then you are getting true enjoyment of the sport. Without their personalities it might as well be self driven electric cars out there going in circles. Otherwise, what would your topic have been for this video?

Yep, Chase Elliott fan here. Nope, I don't think he can do no wrong. I've gotten upset with him more than a few times when he's done something really stupid. Even yelled at him when he's went to the lower Series and I thought he was going to wreck some of the regular guys just to try and win a race. But Brett and Freddie are wrong on this one. And I can't believe I'm saying this "again" but TJ is right. And we all know when TJ recites his data facts he's never wrong 😉. It's also getting really old that people say NASCAR looks the other way because Chase is the "golden boy". It didn't work for Dale Jr, Jeff Gordon, Dale Sr and it it doesn't work for Chase either.

Interesting Monday debriefing so to say.

How many times have I heard drivers say there arn't any partners on the last lap,grow up Chase

They racing boys.

I don’t think chase did it intentionally if I was going to crash myself intentionally why wait till I’m a lap down?
