1 hour 15 minutes

Today's Guest: Brenden "Butterbean" Queen

In this episode, we dive into the recent Cup Series race at Martinsville, analyzing Denny Hamlin's dominant performance and discussing tire wear and track conditions. We dive DEEP into trying to understand the core issue that is plaguing the NASCAR lower series ranks; lack of respect. We try to solve it and even bring in short track racing star Brenden "Butterbean" Queen to see his take on it, and to hear about his future plans in motorsports as he prepares to climb the NASCAR ranks. Finally we close out the conversation discussing open wheel racing, with Yuki Tsunoda taking over the 2nd seat for the Japan GP and our very own Josh Mendoza is going boots on the ground to investigate what makes the Long Beach GP so legendary. That and more on this weeks episode of the Money Lap!
