Hey, what's up everybody? Welcome back to door bumper clear, the final time this year, the Christmas Christmas episode we had this elaborate episode planned

out where we were going to have a bunch of fun today and then our families fucked it all up

that's because you are in charge well well the the wives got off the hook because mine might not

been feeling so great so I didn't I didn't bother asking Beth and get yelled at by her the second half of the goof troop fucked up they're one of them supposed to come back from the snowball

in time never made it after he said he would so i'm going to have to ban luke baldwin from the show for a while

maybe till next christmas we'll give him a chance again um but thomas how are you today i'm doing well

how is your how's your off season been? Okay? I mean, off season. Well, I have an off season. I said, I said, I said him a text from Key West. How's it going? He said, I'm on the floor scrubbing, scrubbing floor. I was cleaning my floors on my knees. Yeah. How are you doing? Carson, how are you doing? I'm good. Just getting ready for the next cars tour season. The person that probably wants this off season, maybe to last a longer, or maybe not. Maybe he's ready to get back going, but he's had the most to celebrate at the table. The year 2025 Xfinity Series champion. Is it Xfinity or Riley? He's the X, he's the Xfinity champion. Okay. Right? Correct.

Jesse Love. How are you, sir? I've been good. I've been a little bit busier than I probably anticipated and have a lot of trips plan and got one trip playing with Tommy. So I'm looking forward to that. But yeah, I've definitely been pretty busy. Haven't really had much time to like just you know sit on the couch per se how was so break down

obviously phoenix we'll go through that uh but i mean winning the championship but how i mean

did you go into that race like feeling like you were the going to be as dominant as you were after

practice well after practice yeah i mean for sure i thought i'd be probably more dominant uh than we actually were after practice uh i think after practice, yeah. I mean, for sure. I thought I'd be probably more dominant than we actually were after practice. I feel like after practice, we probably had a 10th and a half on the field per se. So, yeah, I was definitely feeling really good about it. I felt really good about the whole week. Phoenix is a place that I've been to enough to where I really have a good understanding of it. And I kind of need that. I'm kind of one of

those drivers that needs a little bit of a notebook and something to build off of. But yeah, practice was

very promising. Yeah, I mean, I remember watching practice and I was, you know, you kind of just

scan the timing charts of seeing who's on what lap on tires and what their pace is. And I felt like

everybody else is pretty close.

You know, I'm looking at Connor.

I'm looking at the seven and they're within a tenth of each other.

And I'm like, oh, that's pretty good.

And then I look at Jesse and Jesse's like two tens to tenth and a half better.

I'm like, wait a minute.

Like, is my shit fucked up?

Is he on a different lap than everybody else on tires that I'm not paying attention to. But yeah, it looked like to me, you were, as long as we had long runs like we typically do there, you were going to be the guy to beat. That's what you look for every time like you're done with practice. You always look at that sheet. There's always the graph that he's talking about. It's like a dot chart graph. Probably not the actual word for it. But the dot, yeah, the old dot chart, right? And anyway, you look at that graph and you just hope that you're like one line below everybody else. And very rare is typically it's always Justin that like finds himself in that elite group in practice. But yeah, it was definitely good to be the one that stuck out there. It was huge confidence boost. Stockman probably wasn't excited at all, I would assume. Oh, he was pumped up.
