Joey Logano won the Hellmans 500 at Talladega Superspeedway. It was Logano's 16th career NASCAR Sprint Cup Series victory and the victory made Logano advance to the Round 3 of the Chase for the Sprint Cup along with 7 other drivers.
We will discuss the Chase and who will think will advance into the Championship Round as there are just 4 races to go in the 2016 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season. We will also discuss the dismal of Chase Elliott, Brad Keselowski, Martin Truex Jr and Austin Dillon from the Chase and what they could have done differently to advance.
Also Joe Gibbs Racing drivers are creating headlines after admitting to 'sandbagging' at Talladega Superspeedway this weekend. Three of the four drivers hung around in the back end of the field collecting points and avoiding the wrecks. We'll discuss the strategy and whether or not that was morally right.
Also teammates Kurt Busch and Kevin Harvick had a fight on pit road. Apparently a miscommunication between Harvick and Busch on the final restart resulted in Busch hitting Harvick's car on the cool down lap. We'll discuss whether this is 'just racing' or whether or not NASCAR or Stewart Haas Racing should take action.
Also we'll discuss the racing at Talladega. There's been a lot of talk about a boring race at Talladega. What does NASCAR need to do to make the racing at plate tracks more exciting?
And NASCAR confiscated a part from Furniture Row Racing's No. 78 team on Friday before qualifying. The team had the incorrect bolt on the car. NASCAR said there would be no points penalty for the infraction? Is that the right call?
