Everyone this week has problems with the way NASCAR calls cautions and the way that NASCAR uses rain tires, and the way that Hamlin runs his restarts... well the Chain Gang is here with some answers that you just won't hear on all those other podcasts out there. Let's goooooooooooooo!
William Byron became the first multrace winner for the 3rd season in a row at COTA. And while that may be commendable, the Chain Gang has many other topics to attend to in this week's episode including a shoutout for MTJ now leading the points while not leading in any other major category of the standings!
Spring Bristol was NASCARs first ever March race in the new car and boy did it deliver in the most unexpected way possible! The tires got ground to the cords in 40 laps and left us all wondering what would happen next!
After the race, Jeff Gluck spun up yet another Bristol rap so Hoppy was forced to respond with one of his own. The Chain Gang is ready to break it all down this week so let's gooooo!
Bell came with a chip on his shoulder after wrecking out of the championship race in Phoenix last fall. He drove his Yota to the lead and never looked back and even though it wasn't a tight finish, it was a good race by Phoenix standards... at least it was according to the Chain Gang!
Larson had a perfect points day in Vegas but almost lost to Reddick at the end. We analyze this run along with several others from the race day. Hoppy also questions the assumption that many drivers, such as Chase Elliott, will win this year. Let's ride with the Chain Gang!
Was HOTlanta spring '24 the best finish in NASCAR history? The Chain Gang attacks this question like a pitbull with an attitude problem and then we turn our focus to what this win means for the driver of the 99 car and his hopes to keep his seat from getting too hot this year. Let's goooooo!
We might have ended under caution with Byron leading only 4 laps but there's a lot more to this Daytona 500 story. Let's figure out how to fix this racing and why Brad K is always at the scene of the crime?
We traveled into the Future for the Clash of 2024 by having it a day early!
Denny got it done. Ross spun. Logano and Gibbs had heated little boy words! All this and more when the Chain Gang saddles up to share their toughts and make our picks for the DAYTONA 500!!
And what a NASCAR season 2023 was!? Hoppy, Checky, and Willy have grades to hand out, predictions to track, and one more good race poll to guess! We've got stats to back up our points and, when we don't, we blame Willy. Let's go!!!
