Podcast appearances and mentions of Alex Bowman

The following program, Door Bumper Clear, was recorded on Thursday morning, May 21st, at JR Motorsports Fan Day. As the old saying goes, we saved the best for last. And as the last group to hit the Arby's stage at JRM Fan Day, DBC did not disappoint — or follow the rules for that matter. Jordan Bianchi shares his thoughts and findings on some silly season speculations affecting drivers like Alex Bowman, Connor Zilisch, and a new name making its name around the garage, Chris Buescher. After previewing the weekend ahead for the Coca-Cola 600, the gang gets into Spot On, Spot Off, where they debate: Should Kevin Harvick have been a unanimous Hall of Famer? Is the 600 the most valuable race on the schedule? Lastly, we go into the audience for some LIVE Ask DBC questions, where the Project 91 x San Diego x Kevin Magnnusen rumors came up, as well as a possible charter sale and more All-Star race debating ensues.

Denny Hamlin captured his 61st NASCAR Cup Series victory in Las Vegas, but the big story of the week was Daniel Suarez and Ross Chastain's confrontational spillover on pit road. Motorsports reporter Jeff Gluck dove into the story with both feet, interviewing Daniel on SiriuxSM and then inviting Ricky Stenhouse Jr., the honorary last driver to throw a punch and pay for it, to the Gluckcast to discuss the topic at large. Jeff also chats with Justin Allgaier on the heels of the news that Alex Bowman will be missing the next three races due to lingering affects of vertigo. Justin has been tabbed as the substitute for the 48, and will be juggling getting the car back into points contention along with his day job, driving the JR Motorsports number-7 and leading the O'Reilly Series points.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Denny Hamlin is back after his 60th career Cup Series victory for another episode of Actions Detrimental. He's joined by co-host Jared Allen and producer Travis Rockhold to break down the events from his milestone win in Las Vegas.  Denny opens up about why he was unsure of himself going into the race,  his emotions after winning, and his appreciation for the fans. Plus, what advantage does he gain by locking himself into the Champ 4. Not only do they discuss what got the No. 11 team locked into the Champ 4, they also talk about what might keep other Playoff drivers out of it.From Ryan Blaney's early exit after a left-front tire failure sent him into the wall to William Byron's late-race collision with Ty Dillon and his near miss with Ty Gibbs, Denny covers it all — from the drama and the strategy to what's next heading into Phoenix.Real fans wear Dirty Mo.

Bob Pockrass of Fox Sports joins Freddie Kraft, Tommy Baldwin, and Karsyn Elledge in the Door Bumper Clear studio this week! Bob helps break down Austin Dillon's triumphant win at Richmond Raceway, which not only serves as redemption from his controversial win last year but also punches his ticket to the NASCAR Playoffs. Alex Bowman might have finished second, but his frustration with lap traffic hit a breaking point after his Chevrolet teammates failed to assist. The crew also debates whether NASCAR should have issued teams another set of tires and if that would have spiced up the pit strategy for some teams. Plus, we can't have Bob on and not talk about the latest Silly Season rumors inside the garage.   Want more DBC? Check out and subscribe to the new DBC YouTube channel!
