NASCAR put on a SHOW at Daytona that included flips, fires, and Harrison Burton (No, seriously HARRISON BURTON) crossing the finish line first and punching his ticket to the playoffs. Your favorite co-hosts are here to brake down all the action that led to just six cars finishing on the lead lap including Michael McDowell and Josh Berry flipping, Daniel Suarez catching fire, and Brad Keselowski even got a rare restart penalty.

Well, we anticipated typing a lot of different names as the winner from NASCAR's trip to the historic short track at Richmond, but Austin Dillon was simply not on our list.

Through frustration and a lot of choice words, your favorite co-hosts brake down all of the action from an (almost) caution-less race including the soft tire options, the 99 team gambling and winning on strategy, and what Austin Dillon's dive bomb means for the rest of the playoff picture.
