Amazingly, the DBC crew survived Vegas and is back in studio to recap the first race of the Round of 8. Regan Smith jumps into the fire in replacement of Brett Griffin, who is still in Vegas, to chat with Freddie Kraft, TJ Majors and Casey Boat. The group recapped an eventful live show at Westgate, Kyle Larson’s superstar status as a global driver and Ryan Blaney’s DQ that has him in a must win going into the final two races of the round. 

In Spot On Spot Off, Dale Jr says “you can’t just run well and advance” in the Round of 8, saying a flawless performance is required to advance into the Championship 4, Christopher Bell feels like he missed his best shot to make the Championship 4 and NASCAR penalizes multiple drivers on hanging back on the restart.

Plus, the group fields Reaction Theatre from distraught race fans, Vegas attendees and TV viewers who aren’t thrilled about a particular commercial.
