Five To Go

Doug and Dan take a long look at Bill Elliott's return to NASCAR and how some small time drivers did very well in the Xfinity and Truck Series road course races this weekend. They also explore teammates tussling and Dan really explains why Darlington is such a hard track. Then Ricky Stenhouse Jr. joins to talk about his John Deere throwback scheme and how having rotating teammates can be tough.

The full gang is back and dives deep into Kurt Busch silly season rumors and his Bristol win, the many foibles of Kyle Busch at Bristol, the sunset of Kasey Kahne's and Elliott Sadler's careers, the Wickens terrible IndyCar crash, and a great Bobby Allison story.

Doug and Dan talk more about Dan's induction into the Georgia Racing Hall of Fame and dog Eric for having to skip the show again. They also dive deep on some Silly Season rumors and what NASCAR's mid-season dyno and wind tunnel tests mean. David Ragan then calls in to talk about which Bristol surface is the best, the Braves, and where he puts his racing memorabilia.

With Eric away in Michigan, Doug and Dan do the first-ever live remote of the Five to Go podcast live from the Georgia Racing Hall of Fame inductions. Dan is among the five entering and he shares some story from his racing past. NASCAR Hall of Famer Rex White and several others join to mark the day. BONUS: Clint Bowyer spends ten good minutes on the phone from Michigan.

The boys give their initial reactions on Chase Elliott's first win, including his Uncle Dan's being part of the greeting party when he landed in Dawsonville that night. They also cover the ramifications of the Brian France arrest and how the networks can cover it better. And Twitter's @DrunkenBrianF joins not to make light of the headline, but to analyze what it means and why he goes to the trouble of running a parody account.
