It’s time to crown a champion, and Bringing the Heat With Trey Lyle is here to reflect on how we got here. Instead of an interview, Caleb Barnes joins Lyle to look at each of the four drivers who will vie for the title at Phoenix Raceway and what the drivers did this season to put themselves in championship position.

Barnes and Lyle still take time to discuss the hottest topics of the week. That includes more lawsuit discussions, after the 2025 charter agreement was made a public record.

The 23XI/FRM NASCAR Lawsuit Tornado Headed Straight at UsMichael Jordan, his 23XI Racing team and Front Row Motorsports are a little over a month away from a trial that could change NASCAR forever.

The soundbite of the week comes from Martinsville Speedway NASCAR Cup Series winner William Byron, who gives insight on his mindset entering the race and making the final move on Ryan Blaney. Barnes and Lyle break down why the most recent victory for the No. 24 could just be the driver’s best performance so far.
