The gang is all back from the West Coast swing, though we are still down Freddie while he rests his vocal cords up — and this week we invited Mr. Smile himself, Chris Rice, CEO of Kaulig Racing, to join us!

We start off by getting background on Chris, the time he spent working with Tommy Baldwin, and everything that Kaulig Racing currently has going on. After that, they dish about Sonoma and the races that took place there over the weekend, which was AJ Allmendinger's 500th Career Cup start.

But before we got into Spot On, Spot Off, we had to ask him about the elephant in the room — the rumor of Dodge going Cup racing in 2027.

The topics the Door Bumper Clear crew debated this week included:

• Will SVG make the 2026 Chase?
• More Hocevar drama...
• Connor Zilisch's move to stay out for Stage 2 in the O'Reilly Race
• NASCAR's newest change with the foam inserts coming out of the Cup cars' bumpers
• Should Chicagoland be on the 2027 schedule?

To close out the show, we had a fan call in blaming Hocevar for his relationship status, we ask Chris about his passionate personality, and we rattle off the winners from around the racing world.

We may be missing Freddie as he is on vocal rest, but we replaced him with TWO beasts of the industry -- Ray Evernham & Bozi Tatarevic!

Tommy starts us off how only he can, and it doesn't take long for us to get knee-deep in all things San Diego. The crew discusses the racing that happened over the weekend, from Tyler Reif coming so close to Sam Mayer's massive hit.

In Spot On, Spot Off, the topics were:

- Was San Diego better than Chicago and Mexico City?

- Could Corey Heim have been a playoff contender this year in Cup?

- Discussing Taylor Gray's move on Carson Kvapil

- Jimmie Johnson's comments on the lack of respect in the Truck Series

As usual, we get to hear from our fans, and one of them *allegedly* used their one phone call from jail to join the show. After that, we hear from NASCAR's Jerry Kaproth on everything that went into making the race at San Diego happen — and how Ty Gibbs almost blew the surprise.

In Ask DBC, we ask Bozi to power rank pit crews and Ray Evernham about when he knew Jeff Gordon was a future G.O.A.T.

They round it all out with DBC Picks and weekend winners, which didn't hit the same without Freddie — so he needs to come back soon!

Fresh off a tripleheader weekend of ARCA, Trucks, and Cup at The Tricky Triangle, DBC is back in the studio – once again praising the domination of Denny Hamlin and the No. 11 after his third straight win from the pole.

On this episode, Chris Lambert – spotter for the No. 11 of Denny Hamlin – joins the show as a guest to talk about what’s made the No. 11 team so strong in 2026, his journey into spotting at NASCAR’s top level, and his thoughts on all the hot topics from this past weekend.

Also, the group notes that NASCAR had tech trailers parked at the track in Pocono – front and center - but the No. 11 and No. 45 were not taken for testing.

Plus, Jimmie Johnson does a drunk interview at Le Mans, Legacy is starting to contend for wins, and everyone has plenty of questions about how this weekend will go in San Diego.

Everything wraps up with Reaction Theatre, S*** Show HOF, and Ask DBC.
