This week on Bringing the Heat with Trey Lyle, Ty Dillon joins Danny Peters from the summer Sonoma race weekend. While the two talk about things like the World Cup and racing crown victorias with Cleetus McFarland, Dillon also gives his perspective of the reason why he has so much gratitude to be able to be a driver in the NASCAR Cup Series.
After the interview, Peters joins Lyle to review the hottest topics of the week. That includes the CARS Tour adding Speedway Motorsports to the series ownership. Peters says it is an opportunity to add further legitimacy to a series that has really grown in the last few years. Lyle throws in some of the tracks he would like to see the CARS Tour visit with the announcement of this partnership.
A new addition to NASCAR leadership hints that leaders are exploring further races outside of the United States. Peters believes NASCAR should find a way to put together an oval race in Europe to truly introduce the NASCAR flare into motorsports culture across the pond.
In a Wednesday announcement, NASCAR also shared an update to the superspeedway package that will appear at Daytona. Lyle and Peters hope the changes will truly make a difference to remove the fuel-saving gridlock and improve the racing at the superspeedways.
In this week’s soundbite, Bubba Wallace reacts to his penalty on the last lap, and he discusses the contact with Ty Gibbs that sent the No. 23 spinning through the frontstretch grass. Peters and Lyle debate whether or not the out of bounds rule has room to be adjusted or changed at superspeedways to be more lenient on the final lap.
