Doug, Eric, and Dan breakdown a strange, strung out Sonoma Cup race, examine what to look for in a TV racing commentator, and debate whether taking Chastain's win away was the right move.

The whole gang convenes to talk about the good and bad of Monday's Michigan Cup race, what Greg Biffle's NGOTS win means for the rest of KBM, the Ross Chastain points switch, and the fury over Sebastian Vettel's win being taken away.

With the full gang back, Yahoo! Sports' Jay Busbee joins the discussion on the Coca-Cola 600, driver endurance, career longevity, and a crash so bad it destroyed a rear end gear.
