The Championship 4 field is set! Freddie Kraft, Brett Griffin, TJ Majors, and Casey Boat welcome in Jeff Gluck from The Athletic to break down the penultimate weekend of the NASCAR season from Martinsville. 

With a full season almost under wraps, the group discusses the biggest surprises of the year, the remaining open seats still up for grabs, Sammy Smith’s strong words against teammate John Hunter Nemechek, and Jeff Gluck’s fashion makeover for the 2024 Daytona 500.

In Spot On Spot Off, was Richard Childress in the wrong by saying “nobody is as stupid as Sheldon Creed?” Does Denny Hamlin rebound from another heartbreaking departure from the Playoffs? Will there be a first time champion crowned at Phoenix?

Plus, the group previews the 2024 rookie of the year race, Jeff Gluck shares the one driver he has yet to have on the 12 questions podcast, and the table comes to agreement on an almost unanimous “What an idiot” award winner.
