The Teardown

Going into the Chase, it was appearing to be "Denny Hamlin's year" once again. But after four monster performances by Kyle Larson and the 5-team, we are left with many questions about Denny and Toyota Racing as a whole. Motorsports reporter Jeff Gluck is here to answer those questions this week on the Gluckcast by sitting down with crew chief of the Joe Gibbs Racing 11-team, Chris Gayle. Jeff also dives into the big news break this week that Brad Keselowski will be leaving RFK Racing after this season. He chats with fellow reporter John Newby about the shocking development and who he thinks will emerge as champion after the next six weeks.
