Five To Go

Doug, Dan, and Devin return after a few weeks away to discuss the news of owners considering exhibition races and how that plays into the rights negotiations. They also talk about driver moves in Xfinity and Trucks (including what to expect from Hailie Deegan) and which series puts on the best on-track product. The crew also muses about Garage 56 and the advantage it could bring to Hendrick. And they share which driver could set off the entire Silly Season before the regular season starts.

Doug, Dan, and Devin take deep dives on the legacy of Brian France, the SHR Preece replacement of Custer, Gibbs driving the 54 car, and 2022 driver surprises.

Doug, Dan, and Devin discuss teammate behavior after Verstappen's F1 slight and they rate their most and least interesting Cup Series Silly Season moves. Then they each get introspective on what has changed in NASCAR in Dan's 50+ years, Doug's 20+ years, and Devin's five+ years participating in and following and covering it.

Doug, Dan, and Devin reflect on the loss of Coy Gibbs and the immediate effect on JGR this past weekend and in the near future. They also size up Logano's championship run, the efforts of the other three Championship Four at Phoenix, and some interesting stats from the 2022 Cup season. They also discuss Ty Gibbs' and Zane Smith's championship runs and Jimmie Johnson's return to NASCAR.

Doug, Dan, and Devin try to process just how clutch Christopher Bell has been and how that sets him up against Elliott, Logano, and Chastain for Phoenix. They also breakdown both the sheer disbelief of Ross Chastain's last lap video game passes, including concerns about the move and the evolution of driver ethics. Then they discuss Ty Gibbs' move on Brandon Jones and what that says for his reputation and future.

Doug and Devin discuss what unfolded at Homestead-Miami Speedway and which Playoff drivers seemed flat. They also discuss the Playoffs for Xfinity and Camping World Truck Series. And they also talk about the inflated optimism and short memories over Chase Elliott's points situation. Dan and Doug talk about the message sent with the Wallace suspension, the scare for the No. 19 crew, and the cloud surrounding Tony Stewart, who makes his NHRA debut this weekend.

The crew discusses Devin's trips to Indy, Chicago street course, and Lambeau and some ties of each to NASCAR. The guys break down the Vegas storylines, including all the different ways the Wallace-Larson clash could break. They also talk about some SHR Silly Season news and pay homage to Kurt Busch.

Back from being at the Roval in Charlotte, Devin and Doug discuss what they heard from drivers and saw on the track...and the adjectives describing two very different parts of the Cup race. Dan also digs into the mechanics on the Gen-7 car and the financial grievances the owners aired. The crew discusses whether going public is ultimately what is best for the sport, too.

"Bud's Garage" host Bud Hughes joins Doug, Dan, and Devin to talk Petit Le Mans. Then Devin gives his view from the stands for the Chase Elliott Talladega win and on what he thought of the racing. They also discuss the big Cup Series safety controversy, how the Byron penalty appeal will go, and how unpredictable the Charlotte Roval will be.

Doug, Dan, and Devin discuss how well Tyler Reddick is running compared to Kyle Busch in light of Silly Season, the numerous reasons and possible fixes for the tire failures, how NASCAR should officiate William Byron, the amazing heater Noah Gragson is on, and this weekend's Motul Petit Le Mans and Talladega races.
