This week on Off the Chain, it’s Hoppy Mellow and Checky Swags holding down the fort while Willy T-Bone disappears somewhere west of the Mississippi, probably double-fisting Busch Lights.
The Chain Gang dives headfirst into a wild Las Vegas weekend that had it all... Denny Hamlin’s emotional 60th career win, William Byron’s kamikaze collision with Ty Dillon, and one of the most electric Stage 3 finishes in recent memory.
Hoppy rants about Jeff Gluck’s “Winston Cup standings” blasphemy, Checky breaks down Denny’s zen-master transformation, and the duo somehow pivot from playoff math to a Family Dollar gunfight over a NASCAR T-shirt. You can’t make this stuff up.
We debate whether Denny’s finally entering his championship era or setting up the most gut-wrenching collapse of his career, roast Joey Logano’s playoff luck, and somehow end up pitching a new playoff format NASCAR should probably steal. It’s unfiltered, unhinged, and unapologetically Off the Chain... where the beer’s flat, the takes are spicy, and no one’s waving anyone into pit road.
