Love It or Hate It, Should Austin Dillon Care? Door Bumper Clear Weighs In 

Brett can never stop himself from having just the cringiest goddamn takes on the show.

“GIVE HIM THE PIZZA” 😂😂😂😂😂 I fucking died.

Dillon shouldn't be in the playoffs!!

You don't need Nascar to officiate this stuff because the Ultimate problem is Win-And-You're-In. You wanna fix it? Only take the top 16 in points regardless of wins. You know, since Nascar will not do away with the playoff system.

Well boys, obviously the "line" is when you intentionally wreck 3 cars on the last lap for the win, and clearly he only wrecked 2.

Simple solution is to DQ Dillon and award the win to the 2nd place car at the time of caution. That is the most fair outcome.

11:39 lol I feel like a dive bomb from 3 or 4 car lengths back is “reckless driving”

Haven't seen anything that crossed the line MORE than this since RB Billy Cole pulled a pistol & shot 3 defenders on his way to the end zone to score the winning touchdown for the Los Angeles Stallions......

Here we find a complete lack of: sportsmanship, integrity, respect, maturity, class, and intelligence.

Austin won his daytona 500 same way, right hooking the 10

Win-and-in has been the biggest detriment to legitimacy since the current playoff system began. We have to end it

1995 Bristol Night Race ... Dale Sr. got penalized and given a BLACK FLAG, and sent to the BACK of the field because of what Nascar considered "More than an incidental contact" after he spun Rusty Wallace. So anyone saying Dale Sr. always got away with it, no, back then Nascar had a spine and gave penalties.

When it happened, my first thought was that Wrecky did it on purpose.

Bump people, don't kamikaze them. 😂

Want to fix it? Do away with the "win and you're in" championship and go back to a season long championship.

He should be suspended for hooking Denny they suspended Bubba and Elliott for right hooking a car

They can leave Austin with the win but take away the playoff birth. In 2017 Joey Logano failed post race inspection at Richmond. They let him keep the win but it was encumbered. He lost all play off points and the win did not count for a playoff birth. He didn't make the chase that year. They also took all of Kevin Harvick's playoff points for failing post race inspection at Las Vegas in 2018 too.

These guys defending someone for right hooking another driver for a win is fucking disgusting.

Y’all aren’t wrong. Those two(Hamlin and Logano) are my least favorite drivers. I don’t like wrecking to win though. I enjoy clean racing. I watch all different forms of racing. NASCAR being one of them.

NASCAR took the win from Ricky Rudd at Sonoma in 1991 and gave it to Davey Allison after Rudd tagged Allison in a racing incident. The exact same thing that happened at sonama 5000 times

What if one of the drivers had gotten hurt? Then what?

Time for Nascar to start hiring Arkansas state troopers. No one does high-speed pit maneuvers better.

Nah theres no Honor in what Dillon did, thats the rule he broke. Even though its not a technical rule, Nascar needs to treat this like he broke a major rule.

This whole thing is due to GWC's and "win and you're in"

Spot On - Wrecky caused caution on purpose!

Here’s my thing. Idc about Logano. He’s done this to everyone from Matt Kenseth to Mark Martin to William Byron. But Hamlin definitely took a hard lick.

If it's OK for Dillon then it better be OK for everyone. Getting back to the good ol days

you either have rules or not. choose one and let's go racing

It’s not who did this when, it seems like every dam week this happens. I don’t care about your grandpa’s NASCAR & how it’s always been done. Can’t we have a race finish clean? It’s getting old. Probably why the ratings are so bad. The racing sucks. It’s not racing, it’s wrecking every dam week

I’m sorry but Brett comes across like a silly goose in most of this episode

I have a hard time believing Brett actually believes half the BS that comes out of his mouth. It's like he's trying to be controversial with everything he says.

Keep points, heavy monetary fine, heavier point fine, win DOE NOT qualify you for playoffs.

That move by Austin was absolutely terrible. He's a likable guy, but that should have never happened.

Wreckie Spinouts strikes again!

Well, the problem with the whole thing is he actually was a dominant car and he led a lot of laps and then right at the very end it’s all gonna get taken away from them like you guys have said 100 times NASCAR has created this monster and now they gotta live with it

"But what would be the merit of my victory?" "What would be the honor in that medal?" "What would my mother think of that?" "What would my Grand Parents think of Me"

Denny today said spotters need to STFU 🤣

Old days Austin wins the race under yellow and no controversy. Green, white, checker and playoffs have destroyed millions of dollars of cars and changed the record books so bad you can’t compare drivers from one era to the next. NASCAR has changed scoring and rules as much as congress and things just get whacker after each change.

Just got off work lets goo got something to listen to on my way home thanks guys!

Thank you Freddie…I have been saying this all day…the local short tracks have no problem officiating aggressive driving yet all the brains and technology at the top level and we can’t seem to define the line a officiate as such.

we are so back

FUNNY PLOT TWIST: Imagine Austin Dillon's car fails inspection and he is stripped of win like Denny :)

I think the question they should ask is...what if their driver was in Dillon's shoes? What if Bubba wrecked two guys to win a race and get in? What if Brad did? What would their opinion be? Because if it's any different than their opinion now, they hold a double standard.

Nascar absolutely created this monster and now it's out of the cage.

This is nonsense. Nascar can take the win away. Of course they can do this and they should. No, they have to.

Change the win and your in. Hell go back to the old points system.

Nobody has been more flagrant in a cheap move to win a race in years. It wasn't pushing someone up the track, it wasn't using someone up along the fence. It was a dive bomb wreck job from far away and he would not have made the turn without wrecking Logano. So if it is OK for him then it is OK for everyone, even in the playoffs.

It is not the job of a spotter to instruct, entice or encourage a driver to wreck anybody, ever. Full stop.

Get rid of overtime restarts

B.S. Brett. That isn't racing, regardless of who was involved.

The Darlington with joey and byron isn't close to similar stupid to keep bringing it up

Finally got around to watching this episode. Made it through the first 13 minutes and these guys nailed it. Sharp fellows.

Freddie spot on

Surely Austin's win should be encumbered at the very least

If NASCAR does nothing short of 100 point penalty in playoffs, if it’s not a penalty that realistically eliminates Austin’s chances of getting in the round of 12, then I guarantee you whoever is leading the white flag lap at Phoenix better damn well have a 10 second lead on second place. You have now established what kind of racing is allowed for the win.

"Outside of hitting a baseball, there's no tougher job in sports than being a driver in the NASCAR Cup Series." I've been an avid NASCAR fan for 25 years, and I'm calling BS on that statement by Brett. Yes, there are a lot of variables that drivers have to deal with, some of which are out of their control. But being a Cup driver fails in comparison with being an NFL QB. The QB has to memorize an entire play book, watch hundreds of hours of film with his coaches, build chemistry with his receivers, learn how to read defenses pre-snap, tell his offensive linemen who and how to block on certain plays, call audibles when needed, and generally has a maximum amount of 5 seconds per play to make a decision with the football, whether it involves handing it off to the running back, or throwing it as deep as 60 yards down the field, all the while being in peak physical condition (especially with your throwing mechanics). That doesn't even include variables such as weather, receivers not getting open or catching the football, offensive linemen allowing 300+ pound defensive lineman to break into the pocket, or dealing with nagging injuries. This isn't meant to be a slight against NASCAR drivers either, as they are skilled athletes in their own right. But playing quarterback in the NFL is by far the most difficult job in professional team sports.

The 3 car right hooked the 11 car, he should be suspended for a race. And I am NOT a fan of Hamlin.

Don’t let Austin qualify for the first two playoff races. He starts in the very back. Along with last in pit choice.

"The Rock"! Hell yeah! I'll be there, only about two hours from home! Took my daughter to her first NASCAR race there, the last truck race there. My wife and I went to the second to last cup race there. Love the track!

It's funny listening to them tiptoe around the only true fix: vacate the win. It's gonna happen one day.

Bubba had the best interview afterwards.

Logano cheated on the restart. None of this happens if NASCAR regulates the restart properly.

I don’t think Justin Haley is leaving RWR. Justin has said he’s happy driving for them and he’s dedicated to building a winning program in the 51. i think RFK wants Haley in the 51 for now. Remember Brad K had a lot to do with Haley coming to that team. i’d say Brad has a plan for Justin‘s future also

Do you think NASCAR would have done something if it was Bubba Wallace taking out Larson and Elliott

So much better listening on youtube...less ads!

Nascar is the WWE of motorsport now

These things can't happen. That's why NASCAR is not a sport. Even for the entertainment segment, this was bad. If they think they are on the Entertainment business, good. They will have to find new fans everytime a new generation gets tired of this and realizes that is BS. Well if they do on the first place. How is that even entertaining? Then you don't like racing. Racing was what we had on the first 398 laps. Minus the 2 staged cautions. That is bs too. You have to set a precedent right now. NASCAR changed the rules middle season before, they can do whenever they want. - I agree with Brett, people shouldn't be mad at AD, should be mad at NASCAR they created this. Exactly on point. I mean is not like the drivers head a gun pointed to their head but if you don't do it, the results don't come, sponsors go away, money from playoffs go away and you get fired. So... are you gonna loose your job, your dream of life job because of what people is gonna say on social media? No! Do it and move on. - But i also agree with Freddie: you can't have this. The guy launches himself, because the car is way too strong, wreck the #22, comes down to block, because he has a HUGE rearview camera, misses the timing right rear hook the #11 for the win and nothing happens? - It was bad when NASCAR was created, was bad when Dale Sr. did to Labonte because if you look he came from a very far back too, It was bad when Newman did to Larson, Harvick to Bush, Logano to Kenseth, Edwards to Bush and so many other moments. Yes, NASCAR should have the bump and run, the rubbing is racing but the final laps of Richmond is not acceptable. - #3 should be penalized with 100k, 50k for the spotter, 100k for Childress and loose the win and the playoff spot. Nothing against none of the individuals too just to set a precedent right now - #22 should be penalized with 100k and loose his playoff eligibility. Coming with a wrecked car on a pit road full of families and officials park in front of #3 family, crew do a high rev/burnout it's really bad. Actually is worse. - NASCAR should remove the playoff, stages, finish under yellow, like we used to until 2004. And completely redo the pit road safety. - Otherwise, just quit calling NASCAR and called "Death Race". That would be entertaining for a lot more people and you can make a lot more money. Isn't that the goal after all?

I’m not of a fan of the 11 or 22. Ricky Rudd was black flagged for spinning the 28 very similar to the 3&22. Several drivers have been suspended for Right rear hooking people. I say let the win stand but not towards the playoffs. He’s 32nd in the points he’s not gonna go past first rd anyhow. Nascar has to make this hurt period. I’m an RCR fan and think Dillon deserves harsh punishment, but money fine and take the automatic playoff berth away.

What AD did should be the tipping point for NASCAR and the points system. Win and in has to go. Go to top 16 in points for playoffs wins only counts for playoff points. In this scenario AD keeps the win but isn’t playoff eligible.

Curious how sore Brett is from sitting on that fence

I’ve been waiting for this ALLLLL DAYYYY

He hooked Denny in the right rear where is the penalty???? Bubba , Chase and the others got penalized.

They should take the win, take trophy, take money and he should be dropped to last of lead lap for the race. plus win and your in should go away. Make the points count.

That SMT data make it quite clear. "Wreck Him" and Dillon turns the wheel to the left and mashes the gas.

God I’ve never got so much enjoyment in watching Freddy eatting sour grapes. His love obsession Denny got got and his driver Is crying because he wants to be gifted a playoff spot. Earn it Bubba go out drive someone for the first time ever.

You can’t say that Joey wouldn’t have messed with him. He has done it multiple times in the past and I don’t see that changing now

"That's ludacrous" Comment that aged like fine milk

Officials need to officiate, just like Denny said. I say go back to the previous lap if a yellow comes out. No more timing loops or visual. If you cause a caution with your last lap desperation move, you don't get the win anyways.

The rule change should be if the idots in the back cause cautions an scew guys out of wins

One of nascar’s biggest problem is having all or nothing penalties. There need to be 5 second grid penalties. Not win or DQ

Austin did a Chastain move.

Austin Dillon’s DGAF tour 😂😂

Here the thing about the Hamlin hit. It’s a second after the Logano run, and I think Dillon was catching his car, at the instance 11 came across his nose… Not looking at data, in realtime, it didn’t totally look intentional…

This is equivalent to the Spingate remember the Itchy elbow or sprained elbow. Where it interferes with the playoff qualifying as well. And they added Gordon in as a conditional bonus cus there was international manipulation. NASCAR has to do something similar.

I think AD was trying to door whoever he thought was next to him. He didn't realize how much faster Denny was coming and right reared him. Doesn't make it right, but it wasn't a total right rear like Bubba or Chase.

Points leader leading with one less race ran is crazy

“What would happen if the roles were reversed? Pop-Pop would go punch somebody?” Absolute GOLD!

Its been done before,and it creates drama for everyone to talk about so these people can have pod cast. Nascar is loving it 😊

Suspend him for 1st playoff race.

Spinhouse tried to ruin RCR’s night. Austin wasn’t having it

We can call that move Austin made the Grandson Grand Slam.

SPINHOUSE ALWAYS RUNS OUT OF TALENT

Rumor has it, Brett crawled in a cried in an RCR hauler when he heard of the playoff eligibility voided

Brett is right. Unless Nascar wants to establish F1 style realtime review by race stewards for every questionable bump and spin then this will happen from time to time. Nobody wants that -So no penalty.

You can argue all you want about the end of the race but you can not argue about the extremely dangerous childish crap that Lagano pulled on pit road. $50,000 fine is laughable for putting people in danger.

I did not like the move because it is not racing but if you are going to do it he could not have done it to two better people. I see no difference between this and the nonsense at Bowman Gray. However, it is difficult to hear Denny who wrecks people often say this was over the line.

Rule change 2025

It won’t work TJ, going with the softer tire. Here’s what will happen. Car will drive to the front, use up tires and then aero block the car behind, then car behind wears out tires trying to pass and never makes the pass. Same old racing. You’re thinking softer tire with the OLD car. Not softer tire with the NEW car. Because the NextGen car is aero sensitive in both downforce and side force, it makes passing more difficult. Making a softer tire will help, but not as much as you would think. I think the tire option is the way to go. I think more options teams have, the more strategy, etc. But at the end of the day, it’s always going to come back to driver talent and crew chiefs looking for that edge. Always. I like NASCAR giving the teams more options because they’ve taken away so much grey area and “innovation”.

I want the old Ross Chastain back. He need to be doing stuff like this.

Denny moved up the track and AD was coming down because Denny gunned it in case the yellow came out. Watch it in slow motion. It makes more sense. This is MJ and Denny playing their hands as owner/driver. It’s double standard bullshit like always.
