Was Homestead The Best Playoff Race Ever? Door Bumper Clear Reacts

Freddie Kraft, TJ Majors, Brett Griffin, and Casey Boat are back from the NASCAR Cup Series race in Miami to recap possibly the best Playoff race ever. We’re also joined by a special guest, PRN broadcasting legend Doug Rice, who shares iconic racing stories and favorite memories from the broadcast booth over the years. The DBC crew discusses some of the hot topics of the weekend: Was Denny Hamlin’s reaction justified after his driver, Tyler Reddick, clinched a spot in the Championship 4, leaving Hamlin on the outside looking in? Was Ryan Blaney’s decision not to block on the final lap the worst mistake of his career? Can Kyle Larson turn things around this weekend at Martinsville, or will one of his Hendrick Motorsports teammates play spoiler?
