Sam Hunt joins Corey LaJoie, Skip Flores and Stacking Pennies for an honest look at what it really takes to own and operate a NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series team.

Sam talks about building Sam Hunt Racing from almost nothing, the financial pressure of keeping a race team alive, employing

roughly 30 people, developing drivers who eventually move on to bigger opportunities, and the moments when he has wondered whether the team could keep going.

The guys also dig into the future of the O’Reilly Series car, why independent teams are fighting an uphill battle, what a new car could mean for SHR, and why some of the best racing in NASCAR can also be one of the hardest businesses to make work.

Plus, Skip is spending NASCAR’s off-week at the Knoxville Nationals before heading back home to race at Bowman Gray, the guys debate why racers can never actually take a weekend off, break down Iowa, name the Pit Boss of the Week, and ask the important question: would any of them actually climb into a 410 sprint car?

Corey Heim joins Corey LaJoie for a special edition of Stacking Pennies to talk about how life has changed after winning at San Diego and the Brickyard, why waiting for the right Cup opportunity mattered, and what it takes to prepare on a part-time schedule.

Heim breaks down his Indy qualifying lap, the final restarts, working with Bootie Barker, and why the people and organization around a young driver can matter more than simply moving up as fast as possible.

The two Coreys also debate whether Heim should keep the No. 67, compare Late Model, Truck and Cup cars, talk short-track racing, development paths, the Next Gen car, and what Heim wants people to say he proved during this part-time chapter of his career.

Corey and Ryan (live from New Jersey) recap the Brickyard 400 and the trucks at IRP, then dig into Jimmie Johnson's "a NASCAR race is good for a nap" comment and whether our races are actually too long. They get into Alex Bowman's retirement and the future of the No. 48, whether drivers should keep their numbers team-to-team, the $3-5M reality of a full-time Xfinity ride, burnouts on the bricks, Ty Dillon's $1M In-Season Challenge, and a wild-clip reaction run featuring vintage motordromes and a very confused elephant.

NASCAR fans say they want old-school short-track racing, and North Wilkesboro gave them exactly that. Corey LaJoie and Ryan Flores break down the fan reaction, why only a handful of cars finishing on the lead lap is nothing new, and whether this was the kind of NASCAR race everyone has been asking for.

The guys also explain why Shane van Gisbergen is becoming a serious problem on ovals. SVG is already learning how to manipulate tire temperature, adjust the balance of his car through driving style, and use Truck Series starts to speed up his Cup development.

Plus, Joey Logano and the 22 team get the win, Ryan Blaney continues his charge, the NASCAR playoff bubble gets tighter, Hendrick suffers a rough day on pit road, and the RFK drivers take their prank war to another level.

Rajah Caruth joins Corey and Ryan fresh off Chicagoland to talk about his first full O'Reilly Auto Parts Series season — splitting the year between the JR Motorsports No. 88 and the Jordan Anderson Racing No. 32. He gets honest about the grind of the split schedule after three years in trucks, navigating his run-ins with Jesse Love while training alongside him in the Chevy program, and what it'll take to point his way into the playoffs.

Then the guys dive into the Cup side: the SVG drama and the unwritten rules of retaliation, a tightening playoff cut line with two champions on the outside, and the case for moving the 4th of July race back to Daytona. They close it out with fan questions and reactions to some of the internet's finest racing clips.
