NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace's spotter Freddie Kraft commented on the recent exit of veteran spotters Brett Griffin and TJ Majors from Dirty Mo Media's Door Bumper Clear podcast. The pair was replaced by 58-year-old former NASCAR team owner Tommy Baldwin and Kelley Earnhardt's daughter Karsyn Elledge.
Kraft had posted the change to the podcast's lineup earlier, after which track announcer William Richard inquired about the reasons behind the departures of Griffin and Majors.
"@FreddieKraft I know there are things you probably can't address, but I think I speak for everyone when I say that we still sorta want to know what happened. Why did Brett & TJ have or choose to leave? Hopefully this can be addressed," he asked.
Bubba Wallace's spotter responded by saying that it was 'not his place' to speak for them.
"Only they can speak to why they are no longer on the show. I wouldn’t want to speak for either of them. Not my place," Kraft wrote.
