Bubba Wallace had the speed to win at Phoenix, but a costly pit-road mistake left him with another missed opportunity. Corey LaJoie and Ryan “Skip” Flores break down what’s holding Bubba back, Kyle Larson’s championship lead shrinking from 49 points to just five, and a NASCAR Cup Series title fight that suddenly looks wide open. With Christopher Bell closing in and Tyler Reddick back in Victory Lane, who has the advantage heading to Talladega?
What comes next for Brad Keselowski? Corey and Skip discuss his future behind the wheel, the business of driver contracts and whether his championship window is still open. From RFK Racing’s hoodie debate to the difference between paying for past success and future performance, the guys give their perspective on the difficult decisions facing veteran drivers and race teams.
Skip also explains why Phoenix is so difficult for pit crews, how low ride heights turn routine tire changes into trouble, and what separated the No. 19 crew as this week’s Pit Boss of the Week. Plus, Riley Herbst’s clash with Michael McDowell, SVG’s reaction to the chaos, Jesse Love’s dominant O’Reilly Series performance, Sheldon Creed’s championship setback, and the Truck Series battle between Kaden Honeycutt and Layne Riggs.
The guys celebrate champions across racing, including Rico Abreu, Patrick Emerling, Jake Crum, Caden Kvapil and Mason Walters, before wrapping up with racing memes and reactions to Ron Capps’ wild Funny Car explosion.
