It was a monumental weekend in Las Vegas! Kevin Harvick, Kaitlyn Vincie, and Mamba Smith recap Denny Hamlin’s emotional victory, which not only secured his spot in the Championship 4, but also marked his 60th career Cup win, tying him with Harvick on the all-time list. The crew breaks down what this win means for Joe Gibbs Racing, and how it shakes up the Round of 8. Then, the team reacts to NASCAR’s massive horsepower announcement, increasing output to 750 horsepower on select tracks next season. Harvick and Kaitlyn share why they’ve been pushing for this change — but explain why they’re skeptical it will make a huge difference right away. Plus, Mamba brings the week’s best social media moments in Social Sips, and in Last Call, the crew grades Hamlin’s burnout and makes their Talladega predictions.
