  • Corey day complaint

    Hey fellas, i am a short track racer in Jersey and the only reason i would give merit to day’s complaint is that a wreck as severe as leaving the track like his was, even though nobody was injured, it shines a bad light on the track itself that a race car left broke out of the confines of the track. Otherwise, Day shouldn’t be complaining about the clip being shared when the streamer plasters it all over their media. Love the show, keep up the good work.

  • Large is annoying

    The most annoying show to listen to. Leave the nascar content to the professionals. Large is so unprofessional but should have been expected given it’s a barstool podcast.

  • Audio Quality Stinks

    I tried to listen to the latest episode and needed to delete it from my iPhone. The audio quality sucked. Time to stop hacking into your neighbors WiFi and buy your own bandwidth.
