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. Thanks for listening! Don't forget to hit up shop.dirtymomedia.com for DBC's merch.
