This week on Podracing, Neil Paine and Tyler Lauletta recap an all-time Roval finish, where Ross Chastain tried to video-game his way into advancing (again) — and ended up crossing the line in reverse as Joey Logano slipped through the chaos. We break down Paul Wolfe’s pit-call of the year, Denny Hamlin’s galaxy-brain playoff calculus (or lack thereof), and why the field may live to regret letting Joey's title hopes live. Then it’s time to update the playoff odds and power-rank who's due for a good weekend at Las Vegas as the Round of 8 begins. Plus: We make our betting picks, and both podcasters continue their seesaw chase for the one-and-done contest lead.
