Mash The Gas

Jeff, Kevin, and Sky are back in the driver’s seat to break down all the action from Throwback Weekend at the Goodyear 400 in Darlington! William Byron put on a clinic, leading over 240 laps, but a late-race caution—triggered by Kyle Larson spinning in the exact same spot he did on lap 4—shook things up in the closing laps.

Ryan Blaney looked poised to take the checkered flag until that caution opened the door for Denny Hamlin, whose elite pit crew and flawless restart sealed his second win in a row.

The crew also debates whether Throwback Weekend has lost its shine, dives into who's heating up (and who's not), and looks ahead to Bristol and the upcoming slate of tracks. Plus, get your fantasy picks, bold predictions, and the trademark Mash the Gas banter.

Start your engines and hit play—this one's loaded.
