Mash The Gas

The team is back to break down all the action from the Tricky Triangle — Pocono Raceway in Long Pond, Pennsylvania! Chase Briscoe pulls off a masterclass in fuel conservation to hold off Denny Hamlin and capture his first win with Joe Gibbs Racing. That makes 11 different winners so far this season… could we see more than 16 before the playoffs?

We dive into Brad Keselowski’s decision to pit when pit road was closed — a move that sent him to the tail end of the longest line, but still didn’t stop him from grinding out a Top 10. Plus, we're giving props to Amazon Prime’s NASCAR coverage and looking ahead to the next stretch on TNT as the in-season bracket challenge rolls on.

Get ready for a Saturday night showdown in Atlanta — we’re talking who’s hot, who’s not, and who we think is headed to Victory Lane.

Kevin, Sky, and Jeff unpack all the wild moments: from tire strategy madness with rain and dry switches, to Kyle Larson rallying back from a wreck to set the fastest lap of the race. The Stenhouse-Hocevar feud continues to heat up, and we dive into what’s fueling the tension.

Plus, get the inside scoop on the logistical ballet of moving NASCAR's massive operation across the border and back — from hauler travel times and customs delays to flights and equipment handling.

The trio is back to break down all the action from the FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan! Denny Hamlin led just five laps, but strategic fuel management — and a close call with his gas man on pit road — earned him the win. Hometown favorite Carson Hocevar was once again in contention until a heartbreaking left rear tire blowout ended his day late in the race.

With only 11 races left before the playoffs, we dive into the current standings and take a hard look at the four upcoming road courses that could shake things up. We also preview this weekend’s historic trip south of the border to the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico City. At 7,200 feet of elevation, we explore how altitude will impact fuel-to-air ratios, tire pressures, and driver endurance. Some crew members are already preparing in Aspen to acclimate.

Plus, we look ahead to the upcoming In-Season Challenge, deliver expert analysis, fantasy insights, and give you our official race picks. All that and more on this week’s Mash the Gas

The trio is back to break down all the action from a packed All-Star weekend at the legendary North Wilkesboro Speedway! From the Friday night Cars Tour to the Truck Series showdown on Saturday, and a dramatic Sunday double-header featuring the All-Star Open and the main event, we’ve got it all covered.

We dive into Carson Hocevar’s win in the Open, John Hunter Nemechek joining him in transfer, and Noah Gragson securing the fan vote. But the big buzz? The promoter’s caution—with Michael Waltrip literally dropping the yellow flag on the track. Was it a bold move or a bust? The team debates its impact and whether it added to the spectacle.

With Christopher Bell taking home the All-Star $1,000,000 and Michael McDowell’s crew winning the Pit Crew Challenge, North Wilkesboro delivered a weekend of throwback racing and modern excitement. Could this iconic short track become a points-paying race in the future?
