The DBC gang is back in studio after a LONG wreck-filled Cup Race in the Irish Hills of Michigan, this time with a pair of 23XI Racing teammates in Bubba Wallace and Riley Herbst. The episode starts with a recap of both drivers' weekends, followed by some high praise for Riley Herbst from Bubba Wallace for the teammate he's been. The group talks about Cleetus McFarland's performance in the ARCA and Trucks race, the difference between racing both vehicles, and what Ford seems to be missing from a lackluster performance in their own backyard. Plus, Bubba Wallace opens up about what it's like to race around Carson Hocevar, his post-race conversation with The Hurricane that had social media buzzing, and how there's a difference between racing hard and racing stupid. The group debates if Denny Hamlin will retire at the end of next season, their Mt. Rushmore of NASCAR drivers, who is at fault for the massive wreck on the restart of the Cup race, and much more. As always, Reaction Theatre brings the laughs, followed by S*** Show HOF and Ask DBC. Plus, Freddie shouts out all of the weekend winners from around the country. Want more DBC?

Recorded: May 27th 2026 | Welcome to the first episode of Racin' With The Boys. For the first episode, we thought we'd give you guys two of the top drivers in NASCAR, Ryan Blaney and Bubba Wallace. The guys start off the show about asking Bubba what it is like driving for one of the GOAT's in all of sports, Michael Jordan. Bubba and Blaney get into what is like driving for two of the premier teams in the sport in 23XI and Team Penske. Bubba gets into how cool it is to be driving the 23 car for Michael Jordan and how it can be difficult at times racing against the other owner of the team, Denny Hamlin. Bubba and Ryan are really good friends and talk what it was like coming up through the ranks of NASCAR together and racing each other when they were kids. The guys get into what race preparation looks like each week and how much actually goes into getting ready for every week. Ryan gives his thought on how the new NASCAR playoff, "The Chase", is better than the previous playoff format as it rewards consistency rather luck. Will and Taylor then have some fun with the guys asking what they get their crew members each year for Christmas, let's just say, the boys need to get better at gift giving. Bubba has a wild take by saying "Talladega Nights" is a terrible movie and thinks it paints all the drivers as dumb rednecks. The boys then end the pod talking about how tough it was losing Kyle Busch suddenly. Each of them pay their respects and say how much he meant to them and how it still doesn't feel real. All in all, this is a fun listen and shows off how much of dudes both Ryand and Bubba are.

The always wound-up Kenny Wallace is in studio today with a laugh that can be heard from zip codes away. That's right, DBC is back in studio on Monday after one of the most unique ‘All-Star' races NASCAR has ever seen – and Chase Elliott did not. Kenny gives his honest thoughts on the state of NASCAR, the problems they face, and how COVID changed a lot for the sport. The gang dives into Natalie Decker's viral radio clip, Kyle Busch's very suggestive 69th win, and how Rajah Caruth can make it up to Jesse Love after some hard racing in Dover. Plus, the great NASCAR Hall of Fame debate takes up a good chunk of the show, as the gang debates who belongs in The Hall. Want more DBC? Check out and subscribe to the new DBC YouTube channel!

Wipe the mud off your boots and come on in, Watkins Glen campers. We've got a packed episode of DBC this week with TWO guests in the house – Truck Series winner Kaden Honeycutt, and NASCAR Hall of Famer Kurt Busch. After a wet n' wild weekend up north at Watkins Glen, the gang breaks down all of the chaos and controversy from the Truck race – including a penalty to Freddie's team that NASCAR rescinded just a little too late. Oops. Kurt Busch opens up about his view of the Preece/Gibbs and Kyle Busch/Nemecheck incident at Texas, and why he's not afraid to say NASCAR got it wrong. He also dives into plenty of stories from his racing career about penalties, rivalries, and the lessons that helped shape him as the years went on. Kaden Honeycutt gets signed up for beer shotgunning school, and talks his amazing weekend winning ARCA, Trucks, and both CARS Tour races at Ace Speedway.

Attention Door Bumper Clear listeners, please buckle up for the ride you are about to experience -- Noah Gragson & Chase Briscoe have entered the studio, and the episode you are about to enjoy has clear chaos warnings directly ahead! In all seriousness, although this episode starts off the rails and never comes back, the Door Bumper Clear crew opens up the show and discusses everything from the ups and downs of the race weekend at Talladega to The Big One that took out Bubba Wallace. The topics we cover in Spot On, Spot Off are: - Carson Hocevar's all-time celebration - Did the stage changes provide the Superspeedway racing we want? - A pair of JR Motorsports cars get impeding penalties - Where Cleetus went wrong (and right!) In Reaction Theatre, a fan loses his train of thought, and Hocevar fans have a new catchphrase for their love life. A familiar face shows up in the S*** Show Hall of Fame nominees list, and Ask DBC takes us inside the rivalry between Noah and Chase's son, Brooks. Then things start to pick up around DBC picks, where Noah and Chase quiz Freddie on his knowledge of the moon's effects on grip. This leads to Noah Grason calling Riley Herbst, Josh Berry, and Austin Dillon to prove his point about the waxing crescent moon. All we know is, we'll be keeping a much closer eye on qualifying this weekend for the No. 4 and No. 19 than we originally would have otherwise. This is one of Door Bumper Clear's most hilarious shows to date, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Don't forget to get your merch at shop.dirtymomedia.com AND come see us at Fan Day on May 21st at JR Motorsports for a live show that day. Want more DBC?

At risk of sounding like the well-overdone phrase from the Wizard of Oz, we're not in Kansas anymore — and the Door Bumper Clear crew probably couldn't be more glad about that. Freddie has read all of your tweets and messages, so he finally got his team owner to join the show! Sam Hunt, the owner of Dean Thompson & Harrison Burton's NOAPS ride, comes in to tell his story of going from driver to owner, how that transition happened, and what the day-to-day of his job looks like. After hearing from Sam, he joins in with the gang in reacting to the big moments from the race weekend at Kansas, including: Carson Kvapil's big flip, Corey Day's misstep & Cody Ware's race-changing spin out. In Spot On, Spot Off, we cover: - Denny Hamlin & Kyle Busch's back and forth stemming from Action Detrimental - The 11's lane choice for the final restart - Austin Hill's comments about the incident with Jesse Love - Is Ford falling behind? Our race fans teed off on the field in Reaction Theatre, although there was a common theme amongst them all... In S*** Show Hall of Fame, Bowman Gray rears its ugly head for the first time this season, and we don't expect it to be the last time this year. During Ask DBC, Sam Hunt answers questions about his moments that make him take it all in and what band tee he would wear if he could only wear one. And last but not least, everyone goes around and makes their picks for Talladega, shouts out their weekend winners, and teases a possible guest that Tommy might miss next week — stay tuned!

The boys are back and wasting no time — this episode kicks off mid-conversation about Tropic Thunder and somehow spirals into a full debate on Druski doing white face, blackface in comedy, and whether any of it would fly today. From there they get into the Bubba Wallace noose situation, Jussie Smollett's wild story, and what went down when Black Twitter decided Houston was the spring break destination of the year. Russell gives a firsthand account of watching his city get absolutely taken over, and it's exactly as chaotic as you'd expect. Things shift gears into some lighter territory — Maxx drops that he ran a 6:09 mile out of nowhere, the crew debates who's met the most famous celebrity, and Joe tells the story of moving into his new house with an unfortunate bumper sticker still on his truck. There's also a whole breakdown of the Linus Tech Tips private jet controversy, fake wealthy influencers, Justin Bieber's bizarre Coachella performance, and a heated argument about whether Brad Pitt or Arnold Schwarzenegger is more recognizable globally. The back half gets surprisingly real when Shawley reveals he's having a boy, which opens up a genuine conversation about absent fathers, generational curses, and what each of them wants to do differently for their own kids. It's one of those episodes where you think it's just gonna be jokes and somehow you end up genuinely feeling something. Oh, and Shawley closes it out by describing in graphic detail where exactly he's chafing from his 10-mile treadmill runs. Classic.
In the second hour, Sam and Greg talk about all things NASCAR. Bubba Wallace going into his 300th race?! In the second segment, the guys discuss the Braves hot start.

In the opening segment, or B.S. as we like to call it, we cover tons of ground, including the cause for Luke Baldwin's unfortunate wreck, Bubba Wallace's detrimental crash, and why the world of ARCA was buzzing this week. In Spot On, Spot Off, the topics we brought to the table were: - Was Alan Gustafson's call luck or strategy (or maybe even a little of both) - The package at Martinsville and the racing product - Jesse Love & Rajah Caruth's well-handled post-race conversation - The NASCAR Hall Of Fame Nominees List In Reaction Theatre, we hear from the Chasesexuals, try to pronounce SVG's full name, and get a not-so-nice Easter message for Denny Hamlin.

Denny Hamlin and Jared Allen sit down to unpack a frustrating day at Martinsville Speedway, where Denny came up just short, and walk through exactly how it slipped away. From a loose wheel in the final run to a tough restart that put him behind the eight ball, plus a pivotal moment battling Ryan Blaney that may have changed everything, nothing is off the table. Meanwhile, Chase Elliott ends up in victory lane for Hendrick Motorsports and Chevy, and the guys dig into whether his aggressive third-and-fifteen strategy call is getting the credit it deserves. They also get into the bigger conversations from the weekend, including the Bubba Wallace and Carson Hocevar incident, ongoing frustration with caution lengths and TV breaks, and Justin Allgaier's O'Reilly Auto Parts win. Things heat up in a Hall of Fame debate as Denny makes the case that lower series success shouldn't automatically punch a ticket to NASCAR's highest honor, while Jared pushes back with a more balanced take. And in true Martinsville fashion, the weekend also somehow included 46,000 hot dogs being eaten by fans. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
