Door Bumper Clear

It’s Door Bumper Clear’s 400th episode! So, we had to go big with our guest, and there’s no one bigger than Randy LaJoie, a.k.a. “Big Rand.” He joins DBC to talk about Phoenix, his racing seats, and the crazy stories from his racing past.

To open the show, Randy takes us down memory lane with stories about racing Dale Earnhardt, the race car he still hates, and how he got into making life-saving seats. Then the gang dives into the race in Phoenix, where horsepower, tire pressure, and Ryan Blaney’s comeback became some of the biggest storylines of the day.

In Spot On, Spot Off, the topics they tee off on include:

• A crew chief’s aggressive tire pressure play after Stage 1

• Ty Gibbs’ post-race comments about being with “the right guys”

• Cleetus McFarland’s breaking O’Reilly Auto Parts Series news

• The reality of Chase Briscoe making the playoffs from 32nd in points

We then hear from you guys in Reaction Theatre, where the toasters were put away, and the race fans were out to play. S*** Show Hall of Fame didn’t disappoint, with Oscar Piastri, Dirt Crown Vics, and an unfortunate cameraman leading the way among the nominees.

To wrap up the show, Randy LaJoie tells the insane story of his scary Daytona flip and shares his best Buckshot Jones memories. After that, the crew makes their picks for Vegas and shouts out their Weekend Winners.

Here’s to another 400 episodes. Thank you for all the listens!

Door Bumper Clear is back and ready to recap the race at Circuit Of The Americas, and this time they are joined by a fresh face to the show and NOAPS series - Brent Crews!

The 17-year-old racing phenom joins Freddie Kraft, Tommy Baldwin & Karsyn Elledge to discuss his debut and recap the race weekend. We open up learning about Brent's background, how he discovered racing, and how he felt battling against Shane van Gisbergen in his debut.

In Spot On, Spot Off, the gang covers:

Tyler Reddick's historic win, but will he make history with a Championship?

Tire packs vs. track limits at COTA

Corey Day's dust-up with Connor Zilisch and what it looks like for him to move forward

Should the truck series return to St. Petersburg in 2027?

Reaction Theatre & S*** Show Hall of Fame have a common theme, and that would be Karsyn Elledge handling business in the CARS Tour victory lane, as well as Eli Tomac chipping his tooth on his trophy - yes, that is a real sentence. The crew dives into Ask DBC, where we ask Brent about Flo's 20 Under 20 ranking, driver inspiration, and IndyCar x NASCAR crossover events.

And that's a wrap for this week! We will see you guys after the race in Phoenix.

The gang is back after a race weekend that was turbulent both on track and in the atmosphere, so warm up those bathtubs, Blaney fans! Ryan joins us to talk Atlanta, farm animals, and everything in between.

In the opening segment, Freddie Kraft discusses his call at the end of the race when Bubba Wallace found himself in the lead. And it isn't really an episode of Door Bumper Clear if Tommy Baldwin doesn't bring up Carson Hocevar, but he might not have the reaction you expect after the 77's chaotic series of events. We celebrate Sheldon Creed's much-awaited win and then move on to Spot On, Spot Off, where the crew covers:

Atlanta's place as the most entertaining racetrack

Who wins first, Hocevar or Zilisch?

Austin Hill's comments on Chastain's last lap move

Shortened races could be the move?

In Reaction Theatre, you knew we were going to hear from Rowdy fans after his win in the Truck series, but we weren't expecting to learn as much as we did about llamas. The fans lead us right into S***show Hall of Fame, and Sam Mayer, if you are reading this, yes, you made the show two weeks in a row.

We round out the show with DBC Picks, Weekend Winners & Ask DBC, where we get the lowdown on Ryan Blaney's moustache care tips & ask if he ever actually called into the show last year. We hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as we enjoyed making it!

If you were expecting Door Bumper Clear to lay up to start the year, think again...
The NASCAR world is bursting at the seams with storylines following the Daytona 500 weekend, so you know Freddie, Tommy & Karsyn will have plenty to dive into. They are joined by, as Freddie puts it, one of DBC's "sons", Connor Zilisch!
Connor recaps his race & the gang talks about Tyler Reddick's win leading up to a locked and loaded Spot On, Spot Off segment, where they cover:
- The last lap wreck and NASCAR holding off on throwing the caution.
- Comparing the plate race fuel saving strategies to past styles of superspeedway racing.
- How the NOAPS field couldn't best Austin Hill ... again! 
- Plus, an all-time rant about followers vs. talent and the barrier to entry for racing in NASCAR.
After that, we head into a 'rowdy' Reaction Theatre segment where the fans made us laugh, blush, and question their morals. However, the real fireworks start when we get to the S*** Show Hall of Fame nominees, where we discuss the viral wreck that occurred in Saturday night's race, a car hitting a Kangaroo, and an Olympic athlete with a broken heart. We rounded the show out with Ask DBC & DBC Picks, so now it's time to get ready to head to Atlanta (isn't Austin Hill really good there, too? Oh brother...)

Freddie Kraft, Tommy Baldwin, and Karsyn Elledge are back for another season of Door Bumper Clear, and they’re kicking off 2026 with a bang. Veteran motorsports journalist Bob Pockrass joins the crew to break down everything happening in the NASCAR world right now.
They dive into the return of the Chase format and debate whether NASCAR made the right call bringing it back. The RAM reality TV show is heating up, and Bob provides an update on Brad Keselowski after his offseason leg injury.
In Spot On / Spot Off, we debate:
Should the Clash return to Daytona?
Is Hendrick Motorsports the title favorite?
Which Open cars make the Daytona 500?
Who will be the most improved driver in 2026?
Plus, a hilarious Reaction Theatre, listener questions in #AskDBC, and Tommy pays his debt in DBC Picks—whether he realizes it or not.
Buckle up. It’s officially race season.
