This week on Mast Cast, Rick and Ricky Mast break down an exciting weekend of racing at Texas Motor Speedway, including Chase Elliott’s impressive victory over Denny Hamlin and why the No. 9 team might be quietly becoming one of the toughest teams in the garage. The guys also dive into NASCAR’s penalties for Ryan Preece, the on-track run-ins involving Kyle Busch, Ty Gibbs, and John Hunter Nemechek, plus the old-school mentality of “protecting your territory” as a race car driver.The conversation also takes a surprising detour into the Met Gala after Carson Hocevar made headlines with his appearance there, sparking a debate about NASCAR stars crossing into mainstream pop culture. Then, ahead of this weekend’s race at Watkins Glen International, Rick shares firsthand memories from his terrifying 1993 crash at The Glen, the evolution of NASCAR safety, and what it was really like racing road courses in the early days of his Cup career.Plus: George Strait concerts, NASCAR point standings surprises, the Kyle Petty Charity Ride Across America, and plenty of classic Mast family storytelling along the way. #mastcast #rickmast #nascar #chaseelliott #ryanpreece #kylebusch
