@megankraft13
ass. It’s fun to have fun. 🤙🏻
Special shoutout to
@CoreyLaJoie
. He truly is one the best guys down in that garage. We ran outta fuel into 3 and he pulled up behind us and pushed us all the way back to pit road, saving our race. Thanks brother, we owe you one. 👍🏻👍🏻
I’m simply overwhelmed by the support you all have shown my family throughout this difficult time.
I wish I was in Richmond with my
@23XIRacing
family, but today this family needs me more.
But I’ll be tuned in watching every lap cheering my brother Bubba on.
Let’s go to work!
I’ll stand behind, next to, or in front of Bubba if need be, till the day I die. He’s not my driver, he’s my family. I like to think that whole garage is family. When you threaten one of us, you threaten all of us.
Only one way to shut up the haters today, eyes on the prize 🏁
No distractions. Can’t fix stupid. We’re still going 🏆 hunting tomorrow. Nobody id rather go to battle with then
@BubbaWallace
and the
@RPMotorsports
boys!
What might have been if we just had a little more fuel. Damn proud of
@BubbaWallace
today, best plate race we’ve ever had together, just didn’t get the results we deserved. So much emotion around today I’m glad we kept that 43 car around the front most of the race. 🤙🏻
Here is the Kevin Hamlin video I referenced on the podcast this week.
I hope they got permission to buzz the tower.
So badass, almost needed a pre race pit stop. 💩
“Freddie great job, love ya bro” -BW
After thinking about it all flight, that’s the only “W” I’ll ever need. Win or lose, good day or bad. It always love.
I’m gonna go to battle with
@BubbaWallace
every week for a long time to come. And I wouldn’t have it any other way. 👊🏻
Relieved to know this was a huge misunderstanding, and there is no one in our garage area that did something like what most people originally thought happened. Doesn’t change a thing about the amazing sights we saw yesterday. Hopefully we continue to move forward from here.
Stole Kevin Hamlin’s video for those of you asking for the spotters POV on the
#Thunderbirds
buzzing the spotter stand.
Feels like you can reach out and high five the guy as it’s happening. Badass.

And people are really trying to say he didn’t deserve to be a First Ballot HOF’er?!? 🤨
Congrats Dale Jr! 👍🏻
Boo’d at intros week in, week out. Receives more hate on social media than prob every other driver combined, ok maybe not KB lol.
Yet what is the first thing he wants to do as soon as the rain comes?
Bring all the hate you want in the replies, but that’s why I love the kid. 👊🏻
Proud of
@BubbaWallace
as always.
This season is the best I’ve seen him drive in the 12+ years we’ve been working together. One day it’ll all come together. Congrats to our
@23XIRacing
teammates. 🏁👍🏻
Unfortunately lately all the highs seem to come with some lows.
Just after the race Tommy Baldwin announced that he’s battling cancer. Tommy isn’t like a second dad to us, he IS a second dad. I would never be where I am without Tommy.
I have no doubt he’ll beat its ass. 💪🏻
Listen, yes I lost a lot of respect for McDowell last night. But he’s not “trash” “always in the way” or many other ugly comments I read. Not sure what the hell that was about, but I’m sure he knows it was dumb. But again doesn’t mean we need to be hateful towards him. Be better.
Been a roller coaster of emotions the last couple of days. Got to hug a good friend on probably the best day of his life. And then the next day hug my best friend on probably the worst day of his.
But I’ll always be there for them, cause I know they’ll be there when I need them.
Certainly not a great ending, but another year is in the books with
@BubbaWallace
.
Lots of up and downs all season long but not sure anything will ever compare to this moment in 2021.
But happy to say I’ll be back with BW once again next year to try and top it.
Let’s Go! 🤙🏻
Just got home from NY.
Cant thank everyone at
@23XIRacing
,
@KauligRacing
&
@youngsmtrsports
for allowing me to take the time to be with my family.
But TK is probably still mad I skipped Richmond. So tomorrow I’m gonna head to Michigan to do what he taught me to love.
Race.
There will always be someone out there hoping you fail. Work harder every day to piss that person off.
Today starts year 10 in the Cup Series, and Year 14 with
@BubbaWallace
Let’s go to work! 🤙🏻
What a night. Felt like we passed 600 cars last night.
@BubbaWallace
’s restarts at the end were phenomenal. Kept the top 5 streak alive.
Oh and those of you defending Chase, Ha! 😂 I’ll save my opinion for DBC today.
Let’s go all the way out to LA for the clash cause it’s a huge market and we hope to attract new fans.
Now for fun, let’s lock them outta a big portion of the event.
By my count Ive gone into battle with
@BubbaWallace
almost 250 times over the last 10 years. I’m so proud to see the man he’s become, and how’s he stepped up in these troubling times. Can’t wait to go to battle with him again, on or off the track.
We’re all behind ya brother 👊🏻
Good news, I’m awake and on my way to the studio to record DBC. One of my co-host wrecked half the field, and the other set a record for blocking penalties in a single race 😂
Oh it’s gonna be a fun show.
“I didn’t have it in me to do a teammate restart there…”
But I did have it in me to lie and tell them I would. Chicken shit move. Jake Finch deserved better after his performance tonight.
@FreddieKraft
I heard you on the 45 scanner after Bubba Broke. Being that it was a road course I’m taking you jumped on as another set of eyes? Great team work all around.
Damn this place broke my heart two nights in row. Never been so upset to finish 5th. But lucky to work guys like
@BubbaWallace
and
@AJDinger
and at least have a shot at them.
We’ll be back to try again another day. 🤙🏻
Hug your loved ones a little tighter today. Brad Campbell was a good dude and a member of our spotting family. Unfortunately he lost his life in a car crash on his way to the plane last week. He’s got a much better view now, keep an eye on us all bud.
Rest In Peace.
Sorry folks no DBC this week. My mom said if we didn’t have anything nice to say, we shouldn’t say anything at all. We would never want to upset anyone on the track or in the hauler. But to be honest if you read this far, you’ll know we are actually just recording tomorrow. 🤷🏻♂️
Absolutely breaks my heart to hear that Julie Stefanik will not be allowed to speak on Mike’s behalf at the upcoming HOF Induction Ceremonies.
She wrote a beautiful speech and just because it won’t be heard, doesn’t mean we cannot try and share it with as many people as possible
Im gonna win DBC picks tomorrow night with this hot rod. Love Martinsville, love short track racing. And stand behind my driver, the statement
#BlackLivesMatters
.
Let’s roll 🤙🏻
Pretty disappointed that
@NoahGragson
continues to forget DBC when he’s thanking people in Victory Lane.
He said I’m coming on the show next time I win. He hasn’t lost since. You’re welcome.
Gonna lose about week worth of sleep over that one. Frustrating to be so close at every damn plate race. We’ll be back again and better next time.
I’m just thankful that BW is ok, cause that was as hard as I’ve ever seen him hit.
I don’t understand why people see the words “Black Lives Matter”, and instantly see “ONLY Black Lives Matter.” It’s a very close minded approach.
I firmly believe everyone in this world knows that ALL lives matter. And I don’t think the BLM movement is trying to diminish that.
Nothing was taken out of context. He got called out for a poor choice of words. He regrets what he said and is attempting to walk it back, which is completely understandable.
I still don’t think he understands that the average fan has little to no access to the drivers.
Joey Logano says his commentary about NASCAR fans being spoiled with access perks was taken out of context; felt his character was attacked on Door, Bumper, Clear.
Brett Griffin says the door is open for him to come on the show and talk about it.
So proud of
@BubbaWallace
.
He stepped up his performance this year, and stepped up for what he believes is right. Both of which attracted plenty of attention and sponsor dollars. The love and support will always drown out the hate.
And leads now to this amazing opportunity. 👊🏻
Tonight, I’m excited to announce MJ and I are starting a new, single car
@NASCAR
Cup Series team for 2021. Deciding on a driver was easy - it had to be

.
The ole 43 was ROLLING today. Had some really bad breaks that coincided with some really good brakes to save us from going laps down. Was fun watching
@BubbaWallace
put on a show driving by cars all day long. Runs like today are why you keep digging thru all the struggles. 🤙🏻
Tomorrow is bring your annoying little brother to work day. 😂
Looking forward to having

Stop dragging Corey Heim for not admitting he retaliated on purpose. Of course he did, but he has to lie to all of us in fear of what penalties may come if he’s honest.
I hate it too.
I’ve never gone to a race pulling for another driver to win more then I am for
@ChaseBriscoe5
today. What a heartbreaking story to read yesterday. I know a 🏁 won’t make it all go away, but I just hope they have a reason to smile today. Good luck bud.
Knock, knock.

Somehow I’m heartbroken and happy at the same time. Hurts to come that close to the Daytona 500. But I’m so happy for one of my best friends Doug Campbell get his first Cup win in the biggest of them all.
We’ll be back to get ours another day!
Finally a “clean” race (dumbass still scraped the wall 🙄) today. Stayed on the lead lap all day, and put ourselves in position for
@MikeCWheeler
to make a great call to stay out. Earned us an extra 7-8 spots.
Proud of
@BubbaWallace
and the boys, P11 and something to build on 🤙🏻
Really solid day to finish out our 3 years
@RPMotorsports
. From top to bottom it was a great place to work. Loved having JB on the box this year, he’s our favorite 106 year old.
Proud of
@BubbaWallace
. 2020 was a crazy year, he stood tall and rose about the hate!
Onto ‘21 🤙🏻
Thank you
@KurtBusch
.
Just like every team you’ve worked with in the past, you’ve made
@23XIRacing
better.
Thanks to your experience and leadership I feel like Bubba, and our entire team have taken a huge step forward this season.
Congrats on an incredible career.
