Mash The Gas

The crew is back to break down all of the action from the Würth 400 at Texas Motor Speedway—and it delivered in a big way. Chase Elliott grabs his second win of the season, holding off a hard-charging Denny Hamlin in front of the first Texas sellout crowd in over 15 years.

That packed house sparks a real debate: does Texas deserve a second race again? And if so… does a track like Kansas lose one with attendance concerns? The crew digs into it.

It wasn’t just the finish—this race was chaos from start to finish. Pit road turned into a war zone, highlighted by Joey Logano slamming into the back of Cole Custer, ending his day early. Trouble didn’t stop there—cars were spinning everywhere, especially off Turn 4. Todd Gilliland gets loose and collects race leader Christopher Bell, while Kyle Larson backs it into the fence solo in Turn 2.

Texas proved once again it’s one of the toughest tracks to tame—and Elliott showed up with elite speed when it mattered most.

The crew also tackles the controversy: was Kyle Busch’s retaliation on John Hunter Nemechek penalty-worthy? You know we’ve got takes.

Plus:

• 🔥 Who’s hot and who’s not
• 📊 Points battle breakdown—can Tyler Reddick hold the advantage all the way to Homestead-Miami?
• 🏁 Watkins Glen preview—our second road course of the year
• 🎯 Expert picks, fantasy strategy, and race analysis

This is Mash the Gas—the standard for NASCAR coverage.

We start with the headline moment: Carson Hocevar gets his FIRST career win in the NASCAR Cup Series—and delivers an all-time celebration that instantly goes down in NASCAR history. Sitting on the door, one foot in the car, riding the frontstretch while waving to fans… then sending it into the wall for a burnout. It was raw, it was reckless, and it was unforgettable.

But the story goes deeper than the celebration.

The crew breaks down exactly how Hocevar pulled it off at Talladega race weekend—from positioning to timing to surviving the chaos that defined this race.

And yes… “The Big One” showed up in a big way.

A massive wreck wiped out over half the field, completely reshaping the race and forcing teams into survival mode. Jeff, Kevin, and Sky dissect:

•  What triggered the wreck and who it impacted most 
•  Pit road mistakes that cost drivers big 
•  The ongoing fuel-saving debate—and why the current stage lengths still aren’t fixing the problem 

Kevin brings a bold solution to eliminate fuel saving altogether, and the crew goes all-in debating whether NASCAR needs a fundamental change to how these races are run.

Plus, one of the most unexpected storylines of the weekend:

Cleetus McFarland nearly pulls off a win in the ARCA race, proving he’s more than just a content creator—while also bringing a massive new audience into the sport. The crew breaks down what his presence means for NASCAR moving forward.

We also cover:

•  Updated point standings—who’s rising, who’s falling 
•  Drivers trending up (and those in trouble) 
•  Expert picks, strategy, and fantasy insight 

Then it’s full focus on Würth 400 at Texas Motor Speedway, where Jeff will be on-site representing the show and bringing you boots-on-the-ground coverage.

And we don’t shy away from the headlines—responding directly to Stephen A. Smith and his recent criticism of NASCAR with the perspective only this show can deliver.

From Talladega chaos to Texas preview, from viral moments to real analysis—this episode has everything.

This is Mash the Gas—the standard for NASCAR coverage.

After covering the NASCAR Cup Series up close, they dive into a race that had everything—long green-flag runs, strategy battles, and a late caution that flipped the script and sent it to overtime.

Tyler Reddick continues his unreal 2026 campaign, stealing the win after leading just 10 laps. That marks FIVE wins in the first nine races—something only four drivers in NASCAR history have ever accomplished. With the victory, Reddick stretches his dominance to a massive 105-point lead over the field.

The episode breaks down:

• How the late-race caution changed everything
• Reddick’s elite execution and championship trajectory
• The impact of extended green-flag runs on strategy

Kevin, Sky, and Jeff are back to break down all the action from Darlington in another can’t-miss episode of Mash the Gas! 🏁🔥

Tyler Reddick continues his dominant 2026 campaign, capturing his FOURTH win of the season at the Goodyear 400 🚀—becoming just the third driver in NASCAR history to win 4 of the first 6 races. And it wasn’t easy… battling through a cool suit failure AND a mid-race battery change ⚡, Reddick drove through the field in gritty, throwback fashion to park it in victory lane.

RFK Racing showed serious speed all day 💨, while Ryan Blaney fought through adversity yet again—dealing with loose lug nut issues for the SECOND straight race 🔧 and still bringing it home in P3. Grit meets consistency.

We also dive into the 750 horsepower package 🏎️ and how it’s impacting competition across the field—who it benefits, who it hurts, and what it means moving forward.

Big question marks surrounding Alex Bowman 🤕 as he continues recovering from vertigo—will his future with Hendrick Motorsports be in jeopardy?

And what’s going on with Kyle Busch? 😬 The struggles with RCR continue… we break down what could be next for Rowdy and where he might land if things don’t turn around.

Next up: Martinsville Speedway—the iconic “paperclip” 🧷 and home of the legendary $2 hot dogs 🌭. Have YOU ever had one?!

NASCAR Sky and Kevin Batstone hold it down this week as Jeff Davis sits out, breaking down a historic weekend at the DuraMAX Texas Grand Prix Powered by RelaDyne at Circuit of the Americas 🏁

It was a record-setting performance from Tyler Reddick, who becomes the first driver in NASCAR history to win the first three races of a season 🏆🔥. 23XI Racing is absolutely on fire in 2026, and Reddick had to earn this one the hard way — holding off one of the greatest road course racers in the sport, Shane van Gisbergen, in a high-pressure showdown late 🏎️💨.

We break down all the on-track action, including heartbreak for Connor Zilisch 💔 and a tough outing for Ross Chastain 😬. From bold strategy calls to late-race execution, we analyze how it unfolded corner by corner 📊🧠.

After two superspeedways and a road course, the series now shifts to the desert at Phoenix Raceway 🌞🏜️ — the one-mile oval where last year Denny Hamlin dominated the race, but Kyle Larson walked away with the championship 🏁🏆. Can Reddick make it four in a row? 👀🔥

We also dive into the current situation with Spire Motorsports, give our fantasy picks 🎯, and deliver full race analytics and expert breakdowns you won’t get anywhere else.

Strap in. The 2026 season is heating up fast. Mash the Gas. 🚦🔥

#NASCAR #NASCARCupSeries #MashTheGas #AutoTrader400 #EchoParkSpeedway #TylerReddick #COTA #HendrickMotorsports #JoeGibbsRacing #Motorsports #NASCARPodcast #StockCarRacing

The gang is BACK and breaking down all the action from the AutoTrader 400 at EchoPark Speedway — and things got wild in Atlanta.

Tyler Reddick just made a serious early-season statement 🚨 He becomes only the sixth driver to win the first two races of a NASCAR Cup Series season — the last to pull that off? Matt Kenseth back in 2009.

Oh… and he did it after ripping the right-front fender off his car earlier in the race. Damage? Yes. Denied? Absolutely not. 💪

We break down:
 🏎️ How Reddick overcame adversity and closed like a champion
 💥 Carson Hocevar sending it three-wide where there wasn’t a hole — collecting Christopher Bell in the process… how long can you race that aggressively before it bites back?
 🤔 What’s next for Alex Bowman at Hendrick Motorsports amid contract uncertainty
 ⚖️ The lawsuit drama between Joe Gibbs Racing and Chris Gabehart
 📊 Early championship momentum shifts

Then it’s time to turn right AND left 🌎 as NASCAR heads to Circuit of the Americas in Austin. Will we see a new face in Victory Lane? Or will the road course ringers remind everyone who runs the show? 🏆

Bold takes. Race-winning strategy. A little controversy. A lot of horsepower.

We’ve got all your NASCAR action covered this week on Mash the Gas.
