Ricky and Andy discuss the 1983 Daytona Speedweeks including the Busch Clash, the Twin 125s, and the Daytona 500

We're finally back and this week we discuss the fall 1986 race at Bristol. Even though there's not much excitement on the track there's plenty to talk about.

In this episode the idiots discuss the 1986 Bud at the Glen and the Champion Spark Plug 400 from Michigan. Aside of deep diving each race some of the other topics discussed:

* Jack Arute questioning Buddy Baker being a crew chief and starting the sentence, "Will you be as bad of a crew chief...."
* Exactly WHAT did Tim Richmond point to in his victory lane interview at Watkins Glen?
* Andy questions whether he had a small stroke due to the confusion of the Indycar cut in during the Michigan NASCAR race.
* Harry Hyde is about to whip an official at Michigan. Where's the ABC announcer to get to the bottom of things?
* Bill Elliott "side drafting" a kiss from his wife in victory lane at Michigan
