Brad Keselowski took the victory in the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway. It’s Keselowski’s 28th career victory and Keselowski wins the first race with NASCAR’s new rule package. 

Martin Truex Jr finished 2nd, Kurt Busch, Kevin Harvick and Clint Bowyer rounded out the top 5. 

We’ll give our thoughts on the race and the new rule package and take some phone calls at 917-889-8280

Denny Hamlin took the checkered flag in the 61st Daytona 500 on Sunday. It was the second 500 of his career and it came after a wreck filled final 10 laps that saw the race extend into overtime. Hamlin was able to hold off teammate Kyle Busch for the victory. We'll discuss the 500 and give our thoughts of the race on Sunday. 

The race was clouded in controversy after Joey Logano confronted Michael McDowell on pit road after the race. Logano felt McDowell could have done more to help his fellow Ford companion and McDowell felt that he should do whatever it takes to win the race. We'll discuss which side we are on and if Logano had a right to be upset. 

Also, Chase Elliott and Aric Almirola had an interesting restart that resulted in a couple of cars ending up three wide. NASCAR allowed the restart to stay and claimed that it was a clean restart. We'll give our thoughts on the confusion and discuss whether or not NASCAR got the call right. 

Plus we'll dive into a little more detail about the rest of speedweeks and preview this weekend's racing at Atlanta Motor Speedway. We'll take phone calls from listeners - 917-889-8280!

If I were to ask you who has the most starts in the Daytona 500, who would you say? Few would say Dave Marcis, but that is in fact, the answer

Dave Marcis was a NASCAR competitor for almost four decades. During his career Marcis  ran in 32 consecutive Daytona 500s, a NASCAR record. He also holds the record for most Daytona 500 starts of all-time, with 33 starts in the big race. Marcis’ run is something we may never see again in NASCAR and Clayton Caldwell discusses the reasons for Marcis’ longevity and why his record may never be broken.

Sometimes the race to make the race is better than the actual race itself. On the 2019 Daytona 500 entry list there are 42 cars entered, which means two cars will go home. There is a possibility we could see two additional teams added to the list to make four cars going home and 44 entered all together. 

Clayton Caldwell dives into the Daytona 500 entry list and what it takes to make the Daytona 500. Some fans can be confused by the procedure on how to make the race because it's changed quite a bit over the years. Clayton breaks down the rules and talks about each non-chartered "open" teams and their changes at making the 61st Great American Race.

NASCAR announced rule and procedure changes for the 2019 season and we're going to talk about it. 

The sanctioning body will no longer penalize cars after a teardown at the NASCAR R&D Center but instead will do post-race inspection at the track and penalize cars who fail post-race inspection, including taking the win away. A disqualified winner will be put into last place and the second place car will be declared the winner, if they past inspection. It's a monumental change and we're gonna talk about it. 

Also we discuss the news that NASCAR is keeping their qualifying format of group qualifying despite the draft being a major factor. There were rumors throughtout the off-season that NASCAR might change the format back to single car runs but Scott Miller said they're in show business. It makes for an interesting qualifying format but not the most fair format. We'll discusss that as well. 

And we'll preview this weekend's Advanced Auto Parts Clash at Daytona & Daytona 500 Qualifying. 917-889-8280 is the number to join the show!

After a major turnover in 2018 Hendrick Motorsports comes into the 2019 season with little turnover but still there are some changes to help the team improve on a season that saw only one team from the organization go to victory lane. What will their 2019 season look like? We'll predict it.
