The NASCAR family lost a member of its Mount Rushmore this week — Kyle Busch passed away at the age of 41. And while it may seem like no words can explain the grief the entire racing community feels, we invited his longtime spotter, Tony Hirschman, to the Door Bumper Clear table to share fond memories and mourn along our side.

Also joining us is the newest phenom to hit the booth, Eric Brennan, who was the first to address the television airwaves after Rowdy's passing.

We open up with Tony, Eric, Freddie Kraft, Tommy Baldwin, and Karsyn Elledge all describing the past few days and remembering the kind of person, father, and racer Kyle Busch was to all of us.

After that, we get onto the racing this weekend — or lack thereof, thanks to Mother Nature's weather patterns. 

In Spot On, Spot Off, the crew covers:

-  Should Kyle Busch be instantly added to the NASCAR Hall of Fame?

- The full circle moment of the Coca-Cola 600 trophy returning to Spire Motorsports, which was formerly Kyle Busch Motorsports

- Questionable weather calls for the O'Reilly Series race

- And whether or not the truck race could have gone one more lap

In Reaction Theatre, fans called in to share memories of meeting Rowdy and lift our spirits with some jokes along the way. In Ask DBC, we ask the spotters how difficult it is to tell the red, white, and blue paint schemes apart on Memorial Day Weekend. And in DBC Picks, the gang chooses their top dogs for Nashville.

This might not have been the most fun show to tape, but it was important for all of us to get together and honor Kyle Busch's life. Our thoughts and prayers are with Samantha, Brexton, Lennix, Kurt, and the entire Busch family as they go through this tragic time.
