NASCAR’s New Energy: Points Battles, Courtroom Drama & Rising Stars

Описание: NASCAR feels different — and after two race weekends, we break down exactly why.






This week, we recap a wild tripleheader at EchoPark Speedway, from Kyle Busch’s Truck Series dominance to Sheldon Creed’s long-awaited breakthrough in the O’Reilly Series, and Tyler Reddick’s double-overtime Cup Series statement. We dive into the storylines, strategy calls, and moments that shaped the weekend.






Then we zoom out.






With NASCAR back to a season-long Chase-style points format, does the championship already feel more meaningful? Is consistency the new superpower? We share our take on how the energy has shifted across the garage.






It also wouldn't be St. Pete weekend if we didn't throw out our 2026 IndyCar season team predictions. Follow us along the journey with competition breakdowns following pre-season testing sessions.






In news, we unpack the lawsuit filed by Joe Gibbs Racing against former competition director Chris Gabehart — what we know, what it could mean, and why motorsports can’t seem to stay out of court lately.






Plus, Keelan Harvick signs with Toyota Racing Development. What does this move say about NASCAR’s next generation and the future of driver pipelines?






And to close the show, we go deep into racing history with the story of Ralph Mulford — the 1911 AAA champion who might have been the true first winner of the Indianapolis 500 — and explore how one scoring decision could have altered motorsports history forever.






It’s race results, championship perspective, controversy, development news, and a deep dive into the roots of American racing — all in one episode.






If you love motorsports stories beyond the box score, this one’s for you.
