Just black flag Carson instead of throwing a caution.

Dale always brings insight no else has.

You know that state trooper that everyone on the interstate is following right at the speed limit? That’s Dale Jr to Brett

Keep that tire and bring more of them! The best racing I have seen in years!

If Hocevar was THAT egregious, NASCAR should’ve black flagged him and mandated him to the pits instead of throwing a caution. Shows him he’s gotta get his ass off the track without punishing everyone else

this will be the most watched Door Bumper Clear so far

The last cycle was crazy, there was so much going you could barely keep up. Watching Denny and Martin go through the field was amazing! It reminded me of an old game called Digital Derby that I had.

This makes me so happy , Jr , you found your booth 😂Thx guys ! TJ , quit getting under my skin . Opinions are like assholes , every body has one🤘🏻🏁

Wow, Dale Jr. Baby faced. Wth.... This is going to be a good show! Ding!

Best Bristol race I’ve seen in a while! Great tire wear and good racing!

I really like Freddie's passion and competiveness. I can relate

Tyler should be on more

You can’t compare a spring race to a fall race! Also THIS IS THE FIRST SPRING RACE AT BRISTOL WITH THIS CAR!!!! Maybe the reson had something to do with it, maybe the cold track did. Proves that there isn’t enough actual on track testing in multiple environments! BTW, this was a Great race!!!!

Jr should be on this podcast most often, this is great lol

I absolutely loved that race yesterday. That was so much fun to watch. Take that tire to Phoenix in November. Phoenix may actually be fun to watch if they did. Finally a good short track race wirh this car. It just proved what fans and everyone else has been yelling for the last couple of years

Dale needs to pop in more often.

This tire and package on the car makes Bristol look like a good place for the clash

I had to watch this episode for sure just to getta laugh & hear about yesterdays race 😂

Best podcast in the sport. Hands down

Awesome dam race. Been watching since 94 and thought that was the best Bristol race I have ever seen. Crazy the track never took rubber. next Gen car has never been raced at Bristol in March unless it was dirt. Think outdoor temp had something to do with it as well as the resin. Also this was already the same tire compound that was run last fall Bristol, only 2 differences. Resin/temperature. Pj1 in the fall, warmer temps, resin this spring, temps in the 60s.

CAN SOMEONE EDIT THIS WHOLE EPISODE INTO ONE THAT HIS VIDEO FLASHBACKS!?!? This is the best episode I ever heard ❤ Tyler Reddick is a REAL 1️⃣ blue jacket in his future. Dale Jr. is so freaking intelligent when he talks about the sport I learn so much!! & Freddie Kraft is such a badass. I listen to him every week spotting Bubba on the nascar app scanner !! Freddie’s voice in the podcast always makes me feel safe😊 but his laugh is contagious 😂😂😂😂😂 🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁 definitely best Actions Detrimental for me this week! This show is poppin!! Denny better step his game up. 😅

Somebody tell these guys that this was the same tire from the Bristol race last fall.

I live in Dallas Texas but I sure remember watching The Glory Days on TV and have always wanted to go to a night race at Bristol. After yesterday's race, I immediately booked a ticket to the night race this year. The way to make people come back to races is to give the racers challenges to solve. If you take away all the challenge nobody's going to care about going to the race. Since I have family in Atlanta I also have a reason to maybe go to the Atlanta race next time as well. It's not that fans don't have the disposable income. NASCAR just hasn't been given us to a reason to go. I really hope they embrace the drama that's created by annoying things for the racers to have to deal with. It's what makes being a fan fun. I'm just one guy look into add two more races to my calendar this year now. But there are hundreds of thousands of people like me that could go to more races if you give me a reason. You can generate more attendance by making the racing more entertaining and less cookie cutter. It really is that simple. The formula is simple. Give me something entertaining to watch, and all your fans will come to more races.

Fall Bristol race is going to be so interesting to see what changes drivers make. Playoff drivers will especially be gearing up. Really looking forward to it.

Denny mentioned about the temperature of the track being less than 70 degrees to probably why the track didn't rubber up

Been waiting on this episode all day longggg 🎉

I love the new paint schemes/wraps. Even college football changes uniforms nearly every game.

Loved watching the race on Sunday where the driver made a HUGE difference behind the wheel in the way they attacked the track/saved their stuff. Best case situation, to me at least, give the drivers 750 hp w/a tire that can go 70-90 laps & go test at Bristol & Dover. Get your concrete combination semi-set & put the drivers in a great spot to decide the races & not allow the cars to dictate so much of the outcome.

We love you Dale!!!

I watched NASCAR for 15-20 years growing up until the playoff format came about and that chased my dumb, stubborn ass off for years. Don't know what it was that made me want to get back into it this year out of all the years but I couldn't have picked a better time to do it. The racing is so good and between DBC, Dale Jr Download and Denny's podcast, I've got the bug so bad I want to watch the Cup, Xfinity, Trucks and even ARCA cars as much as possible, I even had to buy myself a wheel to keep myself entertained during the week. Whatever NASCAR put in my water, please keep it coming!

Reddick is the most relatable, likeable driver. Always love hearing from him.

This was one best shows guys. Great job, loved it.

First 2 races this year the drivers were saving fuel and Sunday they were in tire saving mode. Crazy season so far.

This was a real fun episode!

This was a great episode!

my favorite podcast each week!

Spot on Brett. We stopped going because prices are high and we get too little on track product. Period

Rough Sunday Brett? Pounding the water to ya!!!! Love the show folks! 🍻

46:35 750hp with that tire at Bristol. Yes we need this.

Thanks for stopping by Drew Carey 😊

Tyler is already preparing for life after Nascar! He will be very adept at it!

This episode was great

when they made multi compound tires 5 years ago and made outside of the tread tougher. Maybe they can do that to this tire.

jr should be on every episode,

Take that tire to every short track…. That was awesome…. the track was cold ….. Bristol fall was in September that’s like 20° difference..

Carson doing Carson things. Kid will never change

I was working for Goodyear racing tire (Comp Tire West) during that Indy tire fiasco. NASCAR had to throw cautions or someone was going to get hurt or die. Like Jr said, the tires literally were done after 11 (basically 40 corners) laps. This was also during the inner liner days and for some reason the inner liners were not allowing drivers to save the car once the tire went. I have never worked harder than that Sunday.

the resin might have made the right side tires do all the work. 2 tire pit stops was not terrible. the way the corners looked with the tires dribbling is really tough on the right sides.

Goodyear still says it's the same right side tire that ran last fall at Bristol. Hopefully they do thorough failure analysis on the compound to see if some of the variables were at different places within the spercification compared to last fall.

Tyler Reddick Is Awesome

28:26 honestly for a 500 lap race, having to put every 50-60 laps kept the race exciting. Maybe even better than stage cautions do!🧐

Denny is the man !

It was fun watching a race with so many lead changes. A bit chaotic, ya.

These were the same tires as last Fall the difference was the track was significantly colder than last Fall.

Seeing Junior clean shaven is wild

Could watch Brett giggle forever.

Brought along the Lucky Leprechaun

Freddie is completely correct with his argument about the caution. All he needed to add was that when the yellow is out, NASCAR can just penalize the hell out of the guilty party (Hocevar this time). That way, safety is prioritized while the behavior is not incentivized.

Go! Kyle busch

Kevin & Clint is a great addition to the #FOX booth ! You can tell their friends , pretty awesome 🤘🏻🏁

The lighting is making Dale's glasses look like sunglasses. Kinda makes him look like DB Cooper lol

I’m surprised that the weather hasn’t been a bigger piece of the conversation.. I think the only place I’ve really heard talk about the weather/temperature as a factor is Denny’s podcast. Everyone’s talking about the tire (same as fall), resin/pj1, etc, but it seems like being sub 65 degrees makes a big difference on if the concrete rubbers ups. Maybe I’m wrong, but the way I see it you could test as much as you want, but the weather is not a constant factor/fixed variable.

Everyone has been saying tires for years and now NASCAR has the evidence to prove it. I would still say they need to narrow them, but this is a great start

I think they missed a big part of the tire wear conversation and that was the air/track temp was way down..

There are some pretty significant differences between Indy and Bristol. Key among them in this case, the extra 2 miles and 100 MPH at Indy. The Indy "bad tire" race was terrible. Yesterday at Bristol was AMAZING. Totally disagree with TJ on the Carson Hocevar caution/lack of situation. The fear that these cars running 115 hitting a car running 35 is any more dangerous that Ryan Blaney getting right reared into the wall at 195 seems a little nuts to me. They didn't need to throw a caution for Carson Hocevar. They need to park his ass for intended race manipulation.

Dale takes over nascar in 2030 and the sport takes off. He is just head and shoulders above everyone elses thinking wow

Hey Freddie, how fast was Hocevar going? Never have to guess your thoughts. Things are so black & white for you. Love it.

To your point, today's drinking game phrase is "To your point"

Ratings are up because it's on Fox and not FS1. Put it back on FS1 and watch the ratings drop like a rock

I sold my RV last year because there is no reason to go to the races anymore. Lomg ago my season tickets to Bristol were treasured. But been many years since I have gone.

Freddie Kraft in a ND hat. Hell yes!

I feel like for driver identification, the only thing that should change with Sponsorship from week to week is the hood. The rest of the car should look the same!

Hocevar posted on X he forgot what side he had pitted on and freaked out which is why he went 35 and hit the fence and tried to get to the bottom

Freddie is 100% correct period. If NASCAR cares about safety, they should throw a caution at any dangerous point. There should be a consistent threshold and it shouldn't be thrown under that threshold and it shouldn't remain green above that threshold. Penalizing an intentional cause of a caution by parking a car for multiple laps is a good solution as a deterrent.

Brett looking like he has a couple sagging jugs on display with the water bottles in front of him 😂

Dale Jr spinning himself out to get a caution comes to mind

great race! change nothing. they'll all learn form the 1st one and the next one will be different.

Lots of passing, It was more like I don't have any tires left so Im just going to have to coast around here and let others cars run in to me.

The quietest I have ever seen Brett.

Better than the download

If someone ran into Carson and someone got injured they'd be having a very different conversation about that

they need a way to collect the marbles better like truck pulling a hot lint roller to pick em up like a hot tire does.

TJ Majors-- It just sucks when a good joke, "bring a softer tire"....

Larson doesn't get that pit penalty, he had something for them but i think he was a second place car. Still would have made it more interesting to see him push Denny and Martin harder

Freddy needs to listen to Bubba again.

During Dale Jr time in Nascar they would throw water bottles out the window for cautions, So sorry Dale you're point is mute

2024. Year of the Exciting Races. Except Phoenix.

That green flag run was the most exciting racing I've seen in years.

Have Cleetus McFarland show up with his crew and have them do shows Friday and Saturday

They say that this was the same tire from the fall race. That being said, some though the chemical put on the inside line cause the issues. That being said, some said that there was more wear on the outside groove. Some said that there were some drivers had the actual tire from the fall race and some had a new tire that supposedly matched exactly that from the fall race. I follow Ty Gibbs in car radio, they seemed to think that as the track cooled tire wear was getting better to their great demise. I was hoping Goodyear went out and ran tests the same night. We may never know.

Bout time they did some bumping and runin! Tyler better win at cota or hes off the podcast.

More Narrow wheel&tire i been saying it i will keep saying it. Less contact patch less grip. Make the drivers work

Nobody is talking about horsepower, nice move NASCAR

👍🏻

With tire wear back we can get rid of stage racing.

Was there a minimum speed for Bristol?

i gotta give credit where credit is due nascar did a damn good job and not getting caution happy with the crazy going on that race.. great race control that race. normally they suck! imo. fred needs to chill on those cautions.

Concrete is for sidewalks and Dirt is for potatoes. Asphalt is for racing.

soon Nascar will have judges to call stuff real time. They need it soon.

IT BRITOL BABEHHH
