Summary

Door Bumper Clear returns from a drama-filled All-Star Race weekend from Texas Motor Speedway and are joined by former NASCAR Cup Series driver and NBC broadcaster Jeff Burton. He discusses his role with Brett Griffin, T.J. Majors and Freddie Kraft in creating the newly formed driver council and the importance of drivers having a voice in discussions between NASCAR and team owners. Plus, "The Mayor" weighs in on other hot topics including the current style of racing, respect issues, TV broadcasts, and more. To start Spot On, Spot Off; NASCAR threw a caution on the white flag lap of the All-Star Race for Ricky Stenhouse Jr. hitting the wall. They crew questions the need for the caution to begin with and why the trend of inconsistent race control decisions continues. Next, Burton talks about why NASCAR shouldn’t have the All-Star Race at Texas Motor Speedway and shares his idea to rotate local short-track venues for the event. Ryan Blaney won the million-dollar prize on the final restart without a fully fastened window net and wasn't penalized. The gang discusses why NASCAR should have black-flagged him and questions why they waited so long to call one to go for the restart given the circumstances. Also, hear what NASCAR Senior Vice President of Competition, Scott Miller, had to say about the late-race caution and Blaney's window net. Runner-up Denny Hamlin weighed in on Blaney in a post-race interview calling for NASCAR to have more consistent rule enforcement and the safety hazard the final restart created. The guys explain the need for the officials to air on the side of safety and compare how NASCAR has handled similar situations. Kyle Busch’s tire issue caused him to abruptly slow on the frontstretch, resulting in Ross Chastain plowing into him. The spotters talk about the difficulties of spotting in today’s racing and where the blame falls for the accident. The guys give their input on the All-Star qualifying format that included a pit road competition. They debate how the pit crews could be better utilized and suggest reverting back to the old style of qualifying with no pit road speed limits. Lastly, Denny Hamlin made bold claims to the Sports Business Journal about wanting change in the sport and Burton gives insight to the tension about the idea of change in the industry. Later, hear fans’ disgruntled reaction to the All-Star Race in Reaction Theatre, why Clint Bowyer has the best pool, and what Burton thinks about the loose wheel issues facing the Cup Series. Thank you to our presenting sponsor Offerpad and partners Xfinity and RacingUSA.com for making this show possible.
