Christmas Show with Jesse Love: Gabehart Leaving, Trial Update, & Joey’s New Look

Christmas Show with Jesse Love: Gabehart Leaving, Trial Update, & Joey’s New Look

Author: Dirty Mo Media, SiriusXM December 10, 2025 Duration: 1:18:57
Door Bumper Clear is back for our annual Christmas show. On today’s episode, Freddie, Tommy, and Karsyn are joined by the newly crowned Xfinity Series Champion Jesse Love. Jesse talks about how life as a Champion humbles you quickly, especially when you go on vacation with the Baldwin family. He also shares what it’s like racing against some of your best friends and how that dynamic will change with newcomer Brent Crews this season. In Spot on, Spot Off, Freddie discusses how big a loss Chris Gabehart leaving Joe Gibbs Racing is, Tommy breaks down his experience owning a chartered team in NASCAR, and Karsyn gets on Tommy for thinking Joey Logano’s new look was AI. Plus, we hear from the fans in Reaction Theatre, and Freddie has a surprise for the crew at the end!

For a decade, Door Bumper Clear has been the insider’s pit road, a place where the polish of the TV broadcast gives way to the gritty, real conversations that happen behind the hauler. This isn't a narrated highlight reel. Hosted by veteran NASCAR spotters and crew chiefs Freddie Kraft and Tommy Baldwin, alongside the sharp perspective of motorsports journalist Karsyn Elledge, the podcast operates on a foundation of deep, lived-in experience. Their dynamic is less like a formal panel and more like overhearing a brutally honest debrief among friends who’ve spent their lives in the trenches of the sport. You’ll hear them break down the weekend’s racing with a focus on strategy, team communications, and the split-second decisions that never make the air. The analysis here comes from the very people who call the shots and guide the cars, offering context you simply can’t get anywhere else. It’s that specific viewpoint-through the headsets of spotters and the clipboards of crew chiefs-that defines every episode. Produced by Dirty Mo Media in association with SiriusXM, the show thrives on its unfiltered, often humorous, and always passionate take on the NASCAR circus. Tune in for the raw energy, the arguments, the laughter, and the kind of shop-talk that reveals how the sport truly operates at ground level. Listening to this podcast feels like getting a backstage pass to the real conversations that shape race day.
