This week, the gang unpacks JGR's trauma dump of an Xfinity line up announcement, why none of us care about mufflers, and the pure joy enduced by watching the hotly anticipated debut of "Cocaine With Kenny". Also, Truelove goes to the forbidden museum and Brien and Rob's favorite YouTuber goes scorched earth on NASCAR's ass.

Brien's all healed up now, and the gang gathers at Applebee's after a week off to celebrate. Over a hot dish of artichoke dip, the gang reluctantly discusses the Las Vegas GP, pays homage the legacy of Ken Squier, and then watches Stroker Ace to varying degrees of appreciation.

This week we are joined by our good buddy Mike Humphrey, who joined Truelove at Martinsville for a weekend of NASCAR racing, beer drinking, and hot dog guzzling (combined they fell just short of 30 consumed).

Also, the gang discusses Mike Dillon crushing it at pickleball, child diecast collectors, recovering post-puke, the enduring legacy of Alan Kulwicki, and of course, big time NASCAR playoff racing.

Also, the gang discusses the NASCAR playoff situation, doing drugs with Kenny Wallace, and dying in your racing battle jacket.

We're back on schedule, folks!

This week Rob pays a visit to Hendrick Motorsports before getting sucked into the vortex of the Thirsty Beaver Saloon, Truelove finds very little to enjoy about the South Point 400, and Brien dredges the very bottom of the internet for this week's Video of the Week.

Also, the gang discusses the finer points of a big playoff weekend in Las Vegas (particularly NASCAR's very big whoopsie in the tech shed), the return of Scott Bloomquist and his wild ass back catalog of merchandise, and the loss of yet another storied race track for the sake of building a giant warehouse.

RIP FREDDIE SMITH.

This week Rob calls in from a van, Truelove is probably still hungover, and Brien dies. Before Brien crosses the Rainbow Bridge, the gang discusses their respective weekends in Charlotte, Oswego, and Thompson, how to get thrown completely out of modified racing, and the deeply missed Chris Economaki.
