On the NASCAR side, Shane Van Gisbergen opened a can on the field yet again to win his fourth race of 2025 at Watkins Glen. The Kiwi ace adds to his playoff point tally and provides himself additional cushion through the early rounds of the playoffs.

Anytime motorsports take place at Texas Motor Speedway, expect Phil and Josh to let you know their thoughts. In this case, why any racing takes place at that dump. Like certain people's facilities, this track is godawful and shouldn't have any part in determining champions in any series outside the Bass masters. Three pseudo demolition derbies took place across the major NASCAR series, with Joey Logano, Kyle Larson (subbing for Connor Zilisch) and Corey Heim win in Cup, XFinity and Trucks.

Formula 1 raced at the Dolphins' stadium parking lot Grand Prix after announcing a 16-year extension for nobodies benefit.

Phil is competing as an Am in the ApexOne GT3 Endurance race at Catalunya, so he gives his thoughts on ACC and his feelings going into the event. Can Phil come through with a victory? Someone who many thought would have a victory at Augusta long before Sunday was Rory McIlroy. The Northern Irishman made it unnecessarily interesting throughout the final round, but held on in the first hole of the playoff to make history. Phil was focused on the Masters because it has always been his favorite golf tournament of the year, while Rory's win also was a happy result.

The GSP Roundup covered F2/F3/F1 Academy, IMSA, MotoGP/Moto2, Supercars, Formula E, WSBK, WEC and Anthony Wayne Stewart's first career Top Fuel win at Las Vegas in the Four Wide Nationals, with Austin Prock (Funny Car) and Dallas Glenn (Pro Stock) taking the Wally's in their respective classes.

In NASCAR at Watkins Glen, Christopher Buescher took the win after overtaking SVG on the final lap, marking his first victory in road racing in the Cup Series. Many drivers competing for points faced challenges, but some managed to improve their standings. There are other important stories and points updates to consider as we head to Bristol. Connor Zilisch dominated his XFinity debut, becoming the second youngest driver to win in the series. Late-race chaos influenced the points race as we approach the regular season finale at Bristol. We also have news on a strong rookie class for 2025 and CW's upcoming broadcasts.  

At the Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix, Oscar Piastri overtook Charl Eclair early on and went on to secure a strong second win in his F1 career. Woody finished third, benefiting from crashes involving Checo Perez and Carlos Sainz on the last lap. Fish Lips and LH faced difficulties throughout the weekend. We’ll also cover other significant stories and points updates as we head to the Singapore Grand Prix this weekend.  

In NFL Week 2, we have fantasy updates and a GSP roundup. F2 raced in Baku last week, and this week it's F1 Academy. The WEC was in Fuji last week, and IMSA is at Indy this week. NHRA raced at Maple Grove last week and is heading to Charlotte this week.

We’ll preview the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix and the NASCAR tripleheader at Bristol, discussing who might be eliminated from the playoffs in both the Cup and XFinity series.  

Don’t miss Josh’s Sim Segment, and that wraps up our show!

So, NASCAR’s Cup & XFinity were at Darlington this week. Big news: Chase Briscoe snagged the Southern 500 win and punched his playoff ticket, knocking out Kyle Busch in the process! Tyler Reddick wasn’t feeling too hot with a stomach bug but still managed to win the regular season by just a point over Larson. We’ll also chat about some other key players from the race and who's in or out for Atlanta. Plus, we got the points heading into Atlanta. Oh, and Christopher Bell took the XFinity race at Darlington - we’ll break down key players and the points update for the XFinity guys too as we head to Atlanta.

Now, onto the IndyCar Doubleheader at Milwaukee—Pato O’Ward took home the win on Saturday and Scott McLaughlin on Sunday! Meanwhile, Alex Palou is heading to Nashville with a 33-point lead over Whinge Power. There were some issues for Palou, Power, and a bunch of others throughout the weekend. We'll cover points as we gear up for the Nashville finale.

In F1, the Italian Grand Prix was a blast! Charl Eclair pulled off the win with a one-stop strategy, leaving the McLaren's behind. Piastri zipped past Norris on Lap 1 and kept his spot—was he supposed to let off at the end? Fish Lips didn't have a great weekend but still holds a solid 70-point lead. Mercedes basically had a weekend to forget. We'll hit on other key storylines, including the silly season, and get you the points as we head to Baku.

We’ll also do a quick NFL 2024 Season Preview for our teams and fantasy picks, GSP Roundup, F2/F3 at Monza, NHRA US Nationals, MotoGP/Moto2 at Aragon last week and Misano this week, Indy NXT at Milwaukee, WEC at CoTA, WRC Rally Greece, and WSBK at Magny-Cours. Finally, we’ll look forward to the NASCAR Cup and XFinity at Atlanta with some previews, picks, and the Tate Fogleman Algorithm. Don't miss Josh’s Sim Segment, either! Let’s wrap it up!

We discuss some key moments from the races, including multiple cars flipping over, and how NASCAR seems to struggle with handling such incidents. There's also a brief recap of what happened at Michigan International Speedway and updates on points as we head to Darlington.  

In the Xfinity series, Ryan Truex scored his second win of 2024 while driving for Toyota. We’re still piecing together exactly what happened during that race. In the Truck series, Layne Riggs finally claimed his first victory, though he dislocated his shoulder in the celebration, which his father, Scott, witnessed live. Early leaders included Eckes, Majeski, and Heim before Riggs took the lead. We also look at the points heading to Bristol for the second playoff race in the round of 8.  

Moving on to IndyCar, the last week featured races in Portland and Gateway. Penske Racing was on fire with Josef Newgarden winning at Gateway and Will Power succeeding in Portland. Alex Palou continued to show consistency, while Scott McLaughlin had a more challenging race. We provide updates on other key players and points as we go into Milwaukee for a doubleheader.  

In Formula 1 news, Lando Norris struggled at the start once again but ultimately celebrated a win, marking McLaren's rise above Red Bull and Aston Martin. Charles Leclerc rounded out the podium, but Carlos Sainz had a tough weekend. Mercedes faced some difficulties, with George Russell dropping out of contention and Lewis Hamilton receiving a questionable penalty yet recovering to finish eighth. Questions loom around Logan Sargeant’s future in F1 and who might step in next, along with updates as we head to Monza.  

In our GSP Roundup, we highlight the F2 and F1 Academy races at Zandvoort last week, with the F2 and F3 season finale coming up at Monza this week. There was also IMSA GT racing at VIR last week and WEC action at Circuit of the Americas this week. Indy NXT was in Portland last week and will be in Milwaukee this week. MotoGP and Moto2 raced at Aragon, while NHRA took part in the US Nationals.  

Looking ahead, we preview the Formula 1 Italian Grand Prix and make our picks for the races. We also preview the IndyCar doubleheader at Milwaukee Mile, along with picks for the NASCAR Cup and Xfinity races at Darlington, discussing who might secure spots in the Cup playoffs.  

Finally, we wrap up the show with Josh’s Sim Segment before closing out the episode.

In this episode, we dive into NASCAR as the Cup and Truck series race at Richmond. Bald Spot Dillon makes an impressive move, driving over Pizza Face and Two In The Stink to sneak into the playoffs. We discuss tire options and strategies, the constant ups and downs in NASCAR, and share updates on the Silly Season. Ty Majeski celebrates his second win in a row as the regular season wraps up, while Eckes claims the regular season championship and Heim also shines. We'll explore who made the playoffs and who didn't.

We also chat about our thoughts on our teams after Week 1 of the NFL preseason. Don’t miss our preview of the FallBrawl, a roundup of the latest in motorsports like the Knoxville Nationals, WSBK in Portugal, MotoGP/Moto2 in Austria, Supercars in Tasmania, NHRA at Brainerd, and Indy NXT at Gateway. Plus, we give a sneak peek and our predictions for the IndyCar and NASCAR Cup & XFinity races at Michigan. Josh has a segment on simulations, and then we wrap up the show!

First up, let's chat about the NASCAR Cup season so far. Who's in the running for the championship? Anyone lurking in the background? We’ll also cover some disappointments and key storylines outside the usual chatter. 

We'll dive into the silly season updates with Monterrier at WGI and LaJoie's finally wrapped up. 

Then, we’re shifting gears to the NFL – we’ll cover our teams and get into some fantasy football talk. 

Don’t miss the GSP roundup where we’ll hit up IMSA at Road America, MotoGP/Moto2 at the British Grand Prix, WRC Rally Finland, and WSBK in Portugal. Plus, we’ll check in on the Knoxville Nationals and the NASCAR Cup and Trucks at Richmond – it’s the last regular season event for the Truck Series! Who's looking good on points and who seriously needs a win? 

The Cup Series is back after the Olympic break as we gear up for the playoffs – we’ll preview both races and make our picks. 

And of course, we’ll wrap things up with Josh’s Sim Segment before closing out the show. Let’s get into it!

Fish Lips took his annual engine penalties and started 11th after taking pole.  However, his move through the field wasn't as easy as many thought it would be (including us). FL finished 5th but didn't lose many points to title rival Lando Norris. Pit strategies played their part with Lewis going for two while Russell went for one.  Major silly season news items regarding Carlos Sainz's move to Williams and Sergio Perez somehow still having a job were topics to cover. 

Phil and Josh started their 2024 NFL Season discussion with updates on their favorite teams, with more coverage and discussions as the guys get ready for Fantasy Football and more. The GSP Roundup covered F2/F3, NHRA with Anthony Wayne Stewart making a final while Jack Beckman is the replacement for John Force for the remainder of 2024, MotoGP/Moto2, WRC, IMSA and WEC. Josh lets us know what's going on in iRacing and gaming in the Sim Segment before the socials are mentioned. 

Phil goes after William Byron after he called Chase Briscoe a squirrel while fellow young guns John Hunter Nemechek and Carson Hocevar caused massive incidents of their own. Fuel mileage was the name of the game with YRB in position to win and sweep the season for Penske in the big races while former teammate Brad Keselowski tried to harken back to the old days with his fuel saving. 

Riley Herbst drifted through Turn 4 on the final lap of the XFinity race to win for the second time in his career. Stewart-Haas had the best race cars at the track in the precursor to the Brickyard 400. Ty Majeski gets his first win of 2024 in the Truck Series and repeats at IRP while Corey Heim throws a *&^%$ fit at championship rival Christian Eckes.

IndyCar saw Colton Herta destroy the field throughout the entire weekend at Toronto. Andretti Global took a 1-2 finish while Alex Palou started deep in the field and still finished fourth. A massive turn one wreck with ARCA brakes action destroyed multiple cars including the McLaren of Pato O'Ward and Root Beer Float Head.

Speaking of McLaren, Oscar Piastri became a first-time winner in Formula 1 at the Hungarian Grand Prix after plenty of assistance from the pit wall to convince teammate Lando Norris to move over after McLaren screwed up the strategy. Fish Lips was definitely in a mood after completing a sim race earlier that morning and lost out on the final podium place to Sir Lewis Hamilton. Ferrari wasn't as fast as the top three teams but salvaged their day along with poor qualifying efforts by Perez and Russell ending up with points.  

The Roundup covers F2/F3, NHRA, WSBK, Supercars, WRC and Formula E before the guys preview the Belgian Grand Prix for Formula 1 and make their picks. Josh lets us know his exploits on iRacing and gaming in the Sim Segment before calling it a night. 

Cole Custer has been close all year, but finally came through with his first XFinity win of the season and solidified his points lead in the process.  On the heels of likely being called back to Cup, Custer battled with Justin Allgaier and Byron to get the victory. Corey Heim held off Christian Eckes to win his fifth Truck race of 2024, continuing the trend between the two best drivers and teams in the series.  The guys look at the races and recap the points heading to Indy.

A goofy repave, extreme heat and super hard tires made the IndyCar doubleheader at Iowa a procession.  Penske drivers Scott McLaughlin and William Power took the wins while Iowa dominator Josef Newgarden had a rare mis-step at one of his best tracks.  Alex Palou crashed in race one but recovered in race two to maintain his points lead heading to Toronto. For the GSP Roundup, Phil looks at WEC, IMSA, WSBK, Extreme E, F2/F3, Supercars, WRC, NHRA, and Formula E's season finale.  

Previews and Picks are next with the Hungarian Grand Prix for F1, IndyCars at Toronto and the NASCAR tripleheader at Indy culminating with the 30th anniversary edition of the Brickyard 400.  Josh lets us know all things going on in iRacing with his Sim Segment prior to saying see ya later!

Pato O'Ward took his first win on track in two years after a spirited battle with defending series champion Alex Palou to win the Honda Grand Prix at Mid-Ohio.  In the debut of the hybrids, the race ran green from start to finish and only one person DNF'ed.  That person was six-time Mid-Ohio winner and series champion Scott Dixon, who lost plenty of ground to Palou with the hybrid issues he and the No. 9 team faced.  Scotty Mac and the Thirsty Three's finished in third but plenty of silly season stuff happening along with a points recap heading to Iowa. 

NASCAR made their second trip to the Streets of Chicago, with the Cup Series racing in the rain for the second consecutive year.  Shane Van Gisbergen was the overwhelming favorite going in and definitely had a car to repeat.  However, horrible conditions and Chase Briscoe having no brakes sent SVG into the fence and out of the race. Plenty of argy bargy went on including eventual winner Alex Bowman cleaning out Darrell Wallace, Jr.

Bubba showed his displeasure after the race and paid the price on a day that Toyota seemed to have the handle, with teammate Tyler Reddick possibly throwing away victory with a mistake on the last lap. The guys get into the horrendous management of the race itself along with starting it so late that it put the race into torrential rain. Teams finally were able to choose what tires to run and NASCAR actually made it a timed race after long delays.  Points are reviewed with another new winner heading to Pocono.  

SVG held off Kyle Larson to win his third consecutive XFinity road course race, which was the first dry race on the streets of Chicago. The battle between Van Gisbergen, Larson and Keebler Gibbs was the main storyline in a race that definitely featured a lot of carnage. Phil and Josh review the points heading to Pocono. 

A busy GSP Roundup covers F2/F3, MotoGP/Moto2, Indy NXT, WEC, IMSA, WSBK and Extreme E before the guys come back to preview the Iowa IndyCar doubleheader and make their picks. They also make their picks for the Pocono NASCAR tripleheader before Josh's Sim Segment and calling it a day. 

Tire fall off was minimal but rubber laid down on the track, with the rain delay making the race worthwhile. Briscoe was officially introduced as the driver of the Bass Pro Shops Toyota in the Cup Series earlier in the week.  On the XFinity side, John Hunter Nemechek led a JGR 1-2 finish with Keebler Gibbs and Cole Custer being the other standouts on a boiling hot day. Christian Eckes led every lap of the Truck Series race to build his case as the top contender over Corey Heim for the Truck Series title. 

Formula 1 brought out an old story but with a different opponent at Austria.  Fish Lips proved once again that he cannot race wheel-to-wheel with someone who may be as fast or faster after moving more than Floyd Mayweather on his "friend" Lando Norris and knocking both of them out of contention.  Phil lets loose on FL since he and his team won't take any accountability.  He still finished fifth and got the fastest lap while Lando and McLaren chose to retire the car.  The drivers who picked up the scraps were Woody Russell for his second career win, Oscar Piastri who probably will wonder if his lap hadn't been deleted in qualifying along with Carlos Sainz the driver for Ferrari. 

The GSP Roundup covers F2, F3, MotoGP, Moto2, NHRA and an update on John Force, Formula E and Robert Wickens getting behind the wheel of an open-wheel car for the first time since his accident at Pocono, WRC Rally Poland and sadness in the leadup, Supercars and Indy NXT before the guys come back to preview and make picks for the F1 British Grand Prix.  IndyCar comes back to start the hybrid era at Mid-Ohio and the insanity that is NASCAR on a street course returns in Chicago for Cup & XFinity.  Josh lets us know all things going on iRacing in his Sim Segment prior to the promotions.

On the NASCAR side, Christopher Bell dominated at New Hampshire and also spilled the beans on Chase Briscoe being the replacement for the retiring Martin Truex, Jr. at the No.19 car in the Cup series.  Bell was fast in the dry and the wet, but his future teammate Briscoe and current teammate Josh Berry used the rain to get podium finishes on a day where Briscoe was about to go a lap down in the first segment.  Bell passed teammate Sheldon Creed on the last lap to win the XFinity race and go 4/4 at The Magic Mile in the series.  Creed joins Dale Jarrett and Daniel Hemric for the most runner-ups prior to a first win in series history. 

Fish Lips continues his reign on F1 with a win at the spot of his first victory in Catalunya. Woody Russell beat FL and his buddy and polesitter Lando Norris off the line to lead, but the other two passed and went off in the distance. Sir Lewis Hamilton earned his first podium since Mexico last fall. Tire choices and pit stops played a key role in the result at a track that is brutal for overtaking.

The GSP Roundup covers IMSA, Indy NXT, F2, F3, F1 Academy, NHRA, MotoGP, Moto2, WRC and Formula E before Phil and Josh preview the Austrian Grand Prix for F1 and the NASCAR tripleheader at Nashville. Josh lets us know about his karting exploits in the Sim/Karting segment prior to promotions.

In terms of family and home tracks, nobody has more than Martin Truex, Jr. who announced his full-time retirement from Cup racing after this season.  Phil and Josh talk about what MTJ has meant to the sport and his rise to champion driver after a slow start to his career.  They also go over who is in play for that car.  On the XFinity side, Sam Mayer takes another victory at the expense of Riley Herbst.

Phil gets some golf talk into the show with Rory McIlroy's collapse at the US Open and Bryson DeChambeau following in the footsteps of fellow SMU alum Payne Stewart as a US Open champion at Pinehurst No. 2 and continues his Captain America arc. The GSP Roundup recaps the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Supercars at Darwin, WSBK at Misano and previews the Six Hours at The Glen for IMSA, Indy NXT at Laguna Seca for a doubleheader, F2/F3/F1 Academy at Barcelona and the NHRA Virginia Nationals. 

Phil and Josh come back together to preview the Spanish Grand Prix and make their picks for who may finish behind Fish Lips.  IndyCar goes to Laguna Seca and the guys make their picks for that event along with Cup & XFinity at New Hampshire.  Josh lets us know all things going on in iRacing in the Sim Segment before the close.

NASCAR Cup and XFinity raced at Snoreoma for Faux's last race of 2024. Kyle Larson was the dominant presence and earned another road course victory with better tires at the end.  Martin Truex, Jr. is left wondering when that win will come but earned solid points. Some destruction took place because they brought stage breaks back, but the final stage was pretty tame.

For all of the XFinity teams, Shane Van Gisbergen is definitely making things difficult on road courses with his supreme talent.  His restart move on Bobby Hill allowed the Kiwi to win two consecutive races and solidify his spot in the XFinity playoffs.  However, the post race celebration may have been one of the greatest things ever.  

Fish Lips won the Canadian Grand Prix but it wasn't a straightforward event with the emergence of Lando Norris continuing to cause the one car trouble. Woody Russell rounded out the podium after starting on pole.  Sir Lewis Hamilton's last year in silver and black continues to confound many with all of the issues he's facing on his side of the garage.  His future employer definitely had a weekend to forget.

The GSP Roundup covers Indy NXT, NHRA, the 24 Hours of Le Mans, V8 Supercars and WSBK before Phil and Josh preview the NBC opener at Iowa Speedway.  They provide their thoughts of no Junebug on the broadcasts but the fact that NBC actually tries.  Also, they discuss the paving of two grooves in the turns and if that will cause one-groove racing.  Both make their picks for the Cup and XFinity races before Josh's Sim Segment and Show Close.  

Issues throughout the field and eight cautions in the first 73 laps marred what basically became a survival test. Augustin Canapino and the Argentinian fanbase are out of order after threatening Theo Pourchaire.  When the drivers are wishing and hoping to go back to Belle Isle, the track is bad.  

NASCAR Cup and Trucks were at Gateway while the XFinity drivers were at Portland for road course action.  Austin Cindric was the beneficiary of issues for both Christopher Bell and teammate Ryan Blaney, taking his first win since winning the 2022 Daytona 500.  This was not a great day for the points contenders in general, but there's still plenty of races left. 

Stewart-Haas Racing will cease to exist at the end of 2024, after Tony and Gene made that announcement to the team after the 600.  Phil and Josh give their thoughts at the end of this organization along with where some of the key people will go.  With Snoreoma upcoming, that will be Faux last telecast of 2024.  Other than Harvick and Mike Joy, is there anything redeeming? 

Shane Van Gisbergen became a NASCAR XFinity winner at Portland, passing dominant presence Justin Allgaier late in the race.  All three Kaulig cars finished in the top 10, and SVG locks himself into the playoffs.  Another person who is locked into the playoffs is Corey Heim after a fourth win of the Truck Series regular season.  Outside of Heim, Ty Majeski, Christian Eckes and Nick Sanchez stand as the only drivers that might have a chance at Phoenix. 

The GSP Roundup will recap IMSA at Detroit, NHRA at Epping, MotoGP/Moto2 at Mugello along with major rider news and WRC Rally Italy before previewing Indy NXT at Road America.  Phil and Josh make their picks and discuss the F1 Canadian Grand Prix, NASCAR Cup and XFinity at Snoreoma and IndyCar at Road America.  Josh lets us know his exploits in iRacing on his Sim Segment prior to show close. 

Newgarden becomes the first repeat winner since Helio Castro-Neves in 2001-02 while Chevy dominated the oval portion of the month at Indy with Penske, McLaren and others like Conor Daly, SRR, RBFH, etc. Kyle Larson stayed to race Indy even with a rain delay and finished 18th, but he ran way better than that for the majority of the race.  Scott Dixon, Alex Palou and Kyle Kirkwood picked up the pieces for Honda after a brutal couple of weeks as the IndyCar teams head off to the streets of Detroit.

While Larson was racing at Indy, the Coca-Cola 600 started at Charlotte and raced through halfway and nearly three stages before Yung Money flew back and arrived at the track.  In the end, NASCAR waited a few hours to call the race and declare Christopher Bell the winner in what ended up as the Coca-Cola 373.5.  Social media and fans were angry after numerous clips and pictures showed a drying or dry track, the delay in calling the race and the disappointment in not seeing Larson get into a fast car that Justin Allgaier had driven to 13th. 

On the XFinity side, William Clyde Elliott II took the win for Hendrick and the 17 car in what was a Cup benefit like the old days.  Allgaier won both stages for a second consecutive race, but got wrecked on a restart in the third stage.  JRM still faired pretty well in spite of Allgaier's misfortune. Nick Sanchez used track position and good timing to hold off a hard charging Corey Heim for his second win of the 2024 Truck Series season.  Heim would later be disqualified for three loose lugnuts, after dominating the majority of the race.  

Formula 1 held their annual procession at Monaco, with Charl Eclair becoming the first driver from Monaco to win in the 93-year history of the event.  Josh watched the regular broadcast while Phil enjoyed the kids broadcast.  Fish Lips actually struggled and finished sixth.  All of the top-10 in the starting order finished exactly where they started. The only major issue was a crash involving Sergio Perez and the two Haas cars.

The GSP Roundup looks at F2/F3 at Monaco, MotoGP/Moto2, Formula E, NHRA, IMSA and Indy NXT before Josh and Phil come back to preview and make picks for Cup/Trucks at Gateway along with XFinity at Portland.  They also preview and make picks for the IndyCar Detroit Grand Prix.  Josh provides plenty of insight into his trevails during the iRacing Coke 600 along with Indy 500 prep in his Sim Segment prior to Show Close.

On the flip side, Grahayame Raehaul almost went home for a second consecutive year while Marcus Ericsson made the last row shootout somewhat interesting with his multiple mishaps but the format needs to be adjusted. The guys go over all of this plus Kyle Larson's chances from the 5th starting position.  With only three cars in the Top 12, does Honda have the power to battle Chevy?  Scott Dixon is chasing an elusive second Indy 500 win, but has his worst starting position (21st) of his illustrious career.  

At North Wilkesboro, Joey Logano dominated from pole for his second All-Star Race win.  However, the story was Oh, Richard nailing Kyle Busch with a right cross after KyBu turned Stenhouse into the wall two laps into the main event.  Keebler Gibbs, DWJ and Gagson advanced through the Open race. Phil and Josh go over the race itself with the addition of the option tire, the post-race shenanigans and what to take from the event as they move to the Coca-Cola 600. 

The Truck Series race was delayed due to apocalyptic rains that flooded the track, but Corey Heim ended up in his usual spot up front for his third win of 2024.  Brendan "Butterbean" Queen along with former CARS Tour driver Layne Riggs were the standouts behind Heim, while Tyler Ankrum and Ty Majeski won the stages.  The guys go over all of this and the points heading to Charlotte.

Formula 1 was the usual winner, but Fish Lips didn't have it as easy as he usually does.  Lando Norris got to his buddy and made FL earn the win at Imola, while Charles Leclerc gave Ferrari a home podium. Oscar Piastri arguably had the fastest car behind FL, but held Kevin Magnussen up in qualifying and copped a five-place grid penalty.  Having to come up through traffic at a circuit which is virtually impossible to pass on relegated the McLaren driver.  Sir Lewis Hamilton finished sixth but the same issues arise for Mercedes in qualifying and pit stops while Carlos Sainz continues to get the short end as he battles Leclerc at Ferrari. 

For the GSP Roundup, Phil goes over F2/F3 at Imola, Supercars Perth Supersprint, NHRA Route 66 Nationals in Chicago, MotoGP/Moto2 in Catalunya, and Formula E's doubleheader in Shanghai before the previews.  Phil and Josh preview and make their picks for Monaco, Charlotte and Indy before Josh's Sim Segment and Show Close.

The Throwback Weekend at Darlington saw Brad Keselowski return to victory lane for the first time since 2021, his first win as an owner/driver, and so many other firsts during the Badyear 400.  Tyler Reddick yeeted Christopher Buescher and cost them both a chance at victory. The Fords have actually started to show fight after a brutal beginning of the 2024 season.  

Justin Allgaier went out at a difficult racetrack and dominated for his second win of 2024 in the XFinity Series while Ross Chastain practiced his Gallagher routine winning for Niece in the Truck Series.  In other NASCAR News, the Cup Series will have an in-season tournament next year as part of the TNT/Amazon package.  The idea originated by Dennis Hamlin will exist starting with the Coca-Cola 600, which Dale, Jr. will be calling.  What do the guys think about this addition?

For the GSP Roundup, Phil covers IMSA, WEC, MotoGP/Moto2, Formula E, WRC, Indy NXT, V8 Supercars and F2/F3 before previewing the San Marino Grand Prix for Formula 1.  Can Lando Norris make it two in a row or will Fish Lips go back to domination? Phil and Josh make their picks for the pole, front row and who will go home from Indy 500 qualifying before previewing the newly paved North Wilkesboro Speedway for the Cup All Star Race and Truck Series.  The guys make their picks for winners, advancers, wild cards, etc. before Josh's Sim Segment and Show Close.

Norris held off his buddy Fish Lips and Charl Eclair for his maiden F1 win after a timely VSC and solid pace gave the McLaren track position.  Norris held FL off on a restart and never looked back while Ferrari messed themselves up and Lewis Hamilton battled for a sixth place finish.  Logan Sargeant got yeeted by Kevin Magnussen, who was on a mission to hit everything on or at the Miami Dolphins parking lot. 

The GSP Roundup covers F1 Academy, Smoke winning in a Top Alcohol Dragster and almost winning a hooligan race at IRP, MotoGP/Moto2, IMSA, WEC, Formula E, WRC and Indy NXT before the guys get back and preview the IMS Road Course race for IndyCar and make their picks.  Phil and Josh attempt to go through the throwbacks that were actually shown (not many at all) for the Darlington tripleheader while previewing and making picks for each race prior to Josh's Sim Segment and Show Close.

Josef Newgarden definitely took a lot of hits with his press conference and Tim Cindric's lame excuse too regarding the cheating scandal.  In lighter news, Georgina the mannequin dropped off the bridge and got run over by debutant Luca Ghiotto in the process.  The guys go over all of this along with the firing of David Malukas at Arrow McLaren after never racing for the team.  

NASCAR raced at Dover for their only time of 2024 with the rivalry of Hamlin and Larson coming through.  Larson had the faster car, but Dennis played the aero blocking game and held the Hendrick driver off.  The Joe Gibbs Racing weekend started with Ryan Truex winning his second straight XFinity race at The Monster Mile after a great battle with Carson Kvapil.  

Phil and Josh review their teams NFL Draft hauls along with other key players picked who could make an immediate impact in the league.  For the GSP Roundup, Phil looks at NHRA, MotoGP/Moto2, Formula E, Indy NXT, AMA Supercross and F1 Academy.  The guys get back to preview the F1 Grand Prix of Miami and NASCAR Cup and Trucks at Kansas prior to Josh's Sim Segment and Show Close.

Jesse Love has been on the cusp of victory lane all season in the XFinity Series but he finally closed the deal with his first win at Talladega.  The assist went to all of the midfielders working for themselves at the end while Love had to battle with fuel mileage and not having a teammate to help after Hank Hill and Kligerman wrecked late in the race.  JRM's sketchy plate race tactics never came to the fore after they watched multiple cars get destroyed.  

At Long Beach, Scott Dixon once again showed why he is a GOAT.  On an epic fuel save mission, the six-time champion held off Josef Newgarden for his second win on the streets.  The drivers (including Newgarden) who went with the prime strategy were left to wonder and JNew wanted Colton herta to get a penalty for aggressive driving.  The starts/restarts at Long Beach have always been a problem and this weekend didn't quell any concerns.  

Fish Lips won everything at Gyna, but the greater storylines were home country hero Zhou and Sir Lewis Hamilton, scoring a second in the sprint and scored points in the race after an abominable qualifying.  Toto continues to talk out of his behind regarding the LH situation while Norris lays down for his buddy Fish Lips.  

The GSP Roundup is busy this week with IMSA, WEC, Supercars, WSBK, WRC, NHRA, MotoGP/Moto2, Formula E and Indy NXT before Phil and Josh return to preview and make picks for IndyCar at Barber.  NASCAR Cup and XFinity come to the Northeast for their sole visit to Dover, so the guys make their predictions for the weekend accordingly.  Josh lets us know all things going on in the world of iRacing and gaming in his Sim Segment prior to show close.

In the world of NASCAR, William Clyde Elliott ends his second longest winless streak of his career and gets Hooters their first victory since the late Alan Kulwicki in 1992 at Texas.  Teammate William Byron got the assist after cleaning Ross Chastain out on the final lap.  Plenty of wrecks, a lack of passing and virtually no tire fall off were other key storylines heading into Talladega.  

The XFinity Series had the best product per usual, with the added bonus of a photo finish.  Sam Mayer's brutal start to 2024 came around after holding Ryan Seig off at the line for his first win of 2024.  Teammate Justin Allgaier continues to show pace and dominate races, but cannot close.  Kyle Busch wins his second Truck race of 2024, holding off former protege Corey Heim to earn the victory. 

This week's GSP Roundup looks at MotoGP/Moto2 at CoTA, Formula E in Misano, Supercars in New Zealand, WRC Rally Croatia, IMSA at Long Beach, WEC in Imola, WSBK in Assen and NHRA Four Wide in Vegas.  Phil and Josh return to preview the first Formula 1 race in Gyna since 2019.  The guys look at who will finish behind Fish Lips and other key stories heading to Shanghai. 

IndyCar races a major with the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach and the crew gives their prognostications for the winner and podium.  NASCAR leaves the Texas dump to race at another demo derby called Talladega.  The Tate Fogleman Algorithm joins Phil and Josh to make picks and bold predictions before Josh's Sim Segment and Show Close.

Another person who loves Martinsville is Aric Almirola and he showed that with help from teammate Sheldon Creed's argy bargy in the XFinity Series.  Christian Eckes took his second win of 2024 after he and points leader Ty Majeski dominated the Truck Series race.  Phil and Josh cover both events and give a points update.  Formula 1 continues to be the same garbage, even if Daniel Ricciardo and Alex Albon crashed out of the Japanese Grand Prix to setup a restart.  

The GSP Roundup recaps the NHRA Arizona Nationals, previews MotoGP/Moto2 at CoTA for the Grand Prix of the Americas, Formula E in Misano and defending Supercars champion Brodie Kostecki returning to Erebus Motorsports and losing his main backer Peter Adderton in the process.  Phil and Josh preview The Masters tournament and discuss what to expect from Eldrick.  NASCAR's top three series race at the Texas dump, so Phil and Josh preview and make picks for each race.  Josh lets us know all things going on in iRacing in his Sim Segment prior to the show close.

However, two cautions played a role in the final result: the drive out of the groove for Kyle Busch during a cycle of pit stops, and the caution with two to go between Larson and Darrell Wallace, Jr. which set up the GWC for Hamlin to pounce after his team provided a great pit stop.  The guys go over all of this and the continued issues with the short track package, while covering MTJ's list of people he was angry at. 

On the XFinity side, Chandler Smith is really good at Richmond.  He won over teammate Aric Almirola (who won both stages) in a Gibbs benefit, which the guys said would happen.  The bigger stories were the debut of Late Model standout Bubba Pollard for JRM and the wreck between Joey Gase and former GSP guest Dawson Cram.  Cram finished Gase off into Turn 1, and the car owner decided to rip his bumper cover off and attempt to throw it in the window of the JD Motorsports driver's car.  Both have made merch off the incident but it was an expensive day for Gase.

The GSP Roundup covers WRC and Formula E, while Liberty Media acquires Dorna Sport (the group that runs MotoGP and WSBK) and an NHRA Arizona Nationals preview with my respect and credit to Matt Hagan being discussed.  Phil and Josh return to preview Fish Lips getting back to the top step at the Japanese Grand Prix and who will finish behind him before previewing and making picks for all three major NASCAR series at Martinsville.  Josh lets us know all things going on in iRacing and gaming in his Sim Segment prior to the Show Close.

A generally uncompelling weekend at the Thermal Club saw a usual result, with defending series champion Alex Palou win pole and dominate the main event to win his Chip Ganassi team $500,000.  The other standout was former 10 car driver Felix Rosenqvist, who's new home at Meyer-Shank suits him well.  Phil and Josh look at the race, what can be changed and who made/missed the show. 

Circuit of the Americas hosted NASCAR and saw William Byron become the first repeat winner of 2024 in dominant fashion.  Track limits played a part along with pit road penalties in a race that generally lacked any drama.  The new "short track" package continues to suck in actually allowing cars to pass and provide more driveability.  Hendrick and Toyota continue to lead while Ford struggles. Chris Bell made a list of enemies, including former teammate Kyle Busch. 

On the XFinity side, Yung Money benefitted from Bobby Hill parking his car in front of SVG on the final lap of the race, costing both a chance at victory.  Sam Mayer finally gets a decent result and there was a mixed bag among the contenders.  For the Truck Series, Corey Heim barely had any resistance on his way to his first win of 2024.  The revelation was Conor Zilisch, who made his debut and qualified on pole.  After a tough start, the Trackhouse development driver moved his way back into the top five at the end of the race.  On the flip side, Marco Andretti's rear end fell out of his Roper Racing truck.  

The GSP Roundup covers F2/F3, Supercars, MotoGP/Moto2, WSBK, NHRA, WRC and Formula E before leading into previews and picks for the Easter weekend races at Richmond for NASCAR Cup and XFinity.  Josh lets us know about everything going on in iRacing on his Sim Segment before the Show Close.

Christian Eckes earned his first victory of 2024 and the first for McAnally/Hilgeman Racing after Spire had dominated the early Truck Series races.  One of the main stories was Stewball going after Nick Sanchez postrace in an otherwise tame Truck event.  Phil and Josh go into the NFL Free Agency frenzy for their teams and across the league.  Who got better through this cycle and who is in trouble?

NASCAR Cup and XFinity raced at the Phoenix dump and it was a Toyota benefit in Cup and XFinity (to a degree).  Christopher Bell took the lead over the final green flag run to earn his first win of 2024.  The race and strategy flipped on a Dennis Hamlin spin around 100 to go.  Chandler Smith was the beneficiary of a BadYear tire failure for Justin Allgaier with four laps to go, taking his first win for JGR at one of their best XFinity tracks. Phil and Josh review both along with the Cup rules changes before looking at Bristol.

F1 was the usual with Fish Lips and Checo finishing 1-2.  Charl Eclair earned the final podium spot while his teammate Carlos Sainz had to bow out due to appendicitis.  F2 driver Ollie Bearman took over on Saturday and drove masterfully to earn points on debut.  Mercedes continues to suck, Ferrari has some pace and Red Fool has drama but the racing doesn't really provide any.

The GSP Roundup covers F2 and F1 Academy at Saudi, the NHRA Gatornationals and what Anthony Wayne did on debut, Indy NXT at St. Pete, the Daytona 200, Supercross at Indy and a preview of the 12 Hours of Sebring plus the news of Chip Ganassi Racing and Cadillac splitting after 2024.  

NASCAR Cup and Trucks will race on the concrete at Bristol in the spring for the first time since 2020, so Phil and Josh preview the races and make their picks prior to Josh's Sim Segment and Show Close.

The major story from the weekend was Rajah Carruth's maiden Truck Series victory, proving Hendrick has made a great investment in the Washington, D.C. product.  Ty Majeski won both stages and the race was clean for what the series has put out there in recent events.  

Fish Lips led a Red Fool 1-2 with Checo Perez behind with the Smooth Operator taking the last place on the podium.  The top five teams almost finished in order.  Mercedes continues to do a terrible job and Lewis Hamilton struggled throughout the weekend to a seventh.  Karen Horner was "cleared," but it shows yet another example of the lack of transparency and truly investigating improprieties like what Ben Sulayem does regularly. 

A busy GSP Roundup covers WEC at Qatar, F2 & F3 at Bahrain with F2 at Saudi, the Daytona Supercross, MotoGP Qatar GP, NHRA Gatornationals, Indy NXT at St. Pete, F1 Academy at Saudi and the Daytona 200.

After two drafting races, the NASCAR teams move to their first cookie cutter at Las Vegas.  The guys preview each race and make their picks for the weekend prior to Josh's Sim Segment and Show Close. 

The XFinity race was live during the show so the guys gave their live announcing and analyst chops some work in-between the reviews of William Byron winning the Daytona 500 under caution and Nick Sanchez getting his first Truck Series win through carnage.  Phil and Josh give their thoughts on the racing, the lack of respect and quality of the product and what the wins mean for Byron, Sanchez and Hill.  

The GSP Roundup covered ARCA, Supercross, WRC, Extreme E, MotoGP, Bathurst 12 Hours for GT3 cars and the Bathurst 500 season opener for the Supercars along with the Le Mans Entry List.  Phil and Josh get back in to cover F1 testing at Bahrain and what to take away from the tests leading into the season opening race.

However, the biggest news story of the week came from Sir Lewis Hamilton, who announced he will move from Mercedes to Ferrari in 2025 along with becoming an ambassador for the brand.  Phil and Josh get into what that move means for Lewis, F1 and motorsports in general.  On the flip side, Andretti Global was denied by FOM.  Phil and Josh gave their scathing views of the decision and what it says about a group that seemingly wants to be in the United States, but not have an actual American team.

At the Busch Light Clash, Hamlin wins in what was a Toyota benefit for the most part.  After a tame first half of the race, the second half definitely had more action but the Gibbs domination stood.  The weather concerns cancelled the heats and sent some good drivers home before the main event itself.  The guys go over all the main players and key storylines as the NASCAR teams head to Daytona.

Phil and Josh break down the Super Bowl LVIII matchup between San Francisco and Kansas City with what we should be looking for from both teams as they play in a rematch of the game four years ago.  Phil and Josh make their picks and MVP candidates along with X-Factors on both sides.

At the Rolex 24, the Penske Porsche's stood above the rest to take their first Rolex win in 58 years.  The Whelen Engineering Cadillac team was the key foil for what became a Porsche benefit in the GTP category.  Phil and Josh look at the overall battle along with the winners in LMP2, GTD Pro and GTD plus other storylines that came from the great race.  

For the motorsports update, Phil looks at Formula E at Saudi, SuperMotocross, Rally Monte Carlo and other major news stories before the guys preview the Busch Light Clash at the Coliseum.  Phil and Josh make their predictions and picks prior to Josh's Sim Segment and Show Close. 

Phil definitely was not happy with how the 49ers played and said as such with a tough Lions team heading to Santa Clara.  However, the real MVP of the league showed out with two TD's and Brock the "Game Manager" seemingly put the 49ers in position to win. 

The Bills defense and Josh Allen cannot fade Kermit the Frog in the playoffs...and add a famous singer to the mix too.  For the annointed MVP of the season, his Ravens needed to make adjustments before throttling down on the presumptive ROTY in CJ Stroud and the Houston Texans. Detroit used their insane home field advantage and strong play from everywhere to advance to their first NFC title game in a long time. 

For the Motorsports Update, Phil recaps the Dakar Rally where an American couple had a lot to celebrate.  It was also a great race for women and a rally legend.  SuperMotocross, other key news items and previews of Formula E in Saudi and the Rolex 24 at Daytona also get done. 

Phil and Josh preview and make their picks for who will advance to the Super Bowl before Josh takes over for the Sim Segment and Show Close.

Jacksonville's epic collapse and the lack of accountability between coaches and execs drove Josh and Phil even added more fuel to said fire!  Phil didn't like the 49ers losing to the Rams, but they are still the one seed in the NFC playoffs without any additional injuries.  The guys go through all the games, the coaches who were fired on Black Monday and who could replace them. 

Phil and Josh preview and make picks for Super Wild Card Weekend prior to the 2024 debut of Josh's Sim Segment prior to Show Close.

NFL Week 15 saw varying results for Phil and Josh related to their actual teams, while Phil begrudgingly had to give credit to Josh for his victory in the quarterfinals of the FallBrawl league.  However, Phil still has two chances at fantasy football glory in 2023.  They also talk about the playoff situation with three weeks remaining in the regular season.

Josh gives us his last Sim Segment of 2023 before we go off for a needed break and wish everyone Happy Holidays.  

IndyCar continues to stub their toes with the hybrid system being delayed till after the Indianapolis 500.  Also, Honda came out and threatened to leave the series after 32 years if costs aren't brought down and a third manufacturer comes in to lighten the supply load. 

The guys go over the constant losses IndyCar seems to have while they have the best racing product in major US motorsports and why this is a long time trend.  If Honda leaves, where does the Penske group go for additional manufacturers since many OEM's are in IMSA/WEC?

The crew goes over major news stories in the world of motorsports before recapping NFL Week 14 for their real and fantasy squads.  Phil and Josh are facing each other in the quarterfinals of the FallBrawl league after battling back from difficulties earlier in the season.  Josh lets us know everything going on in gaming in his Sim Segment prior to the Show Close.

John Hunter Nemechek was dominant like in Trucks but could not close the deal in the playoffs while Austin Hill showed that he was a whiny, spoiled choker who isn't a good teammate.  JRM saw Justin Allgaier fall short yet again for an elusive title while Sam Mayer had a breakout campaign.  The guys look at Kaulig Racing falling off and early favorites for 2024.

On the Truck Series side, Ben Rhodes by virtually any measure wasn't a championship driver.  However, he was in the right place at the right time to close the deal and become a two-time series champion.  Grant Enfinger was in position to give GMS a walk-off title but Corey Heim and Carson Hocevar decided to destroy each other.  Will Heim's reaction to Hocevar's driving sully the quality of driving he showed through the majority of the season? 

Hocevar broke out in 2023 but his judgement and driving standards were questionable at best.  Will he get the same treatment like mentor Ross Chastain or will being a full-time Cup Series driver make him change?  Finally, with the death of Kyle Busch Motorsports and GMS Racing, how healthy is the Truck Series?

The crew goes over what they were thankful for in the 2023 motorsports year before Josh's Sim Segment and Show Close.

The recently completed Cup Series season provided plenty of ebbs and flows but the biggest surprise after a down year for the blue oval brigade was Penske's Ryan Blaney winning twice in the playoffs and finishing second to earn his first Cup Series title.  The guys discuss what it means for YRB as a driver and the sport itself with one of the most popular drivers taking the hardware.  On the flip side, William Byron had a career year with Hendrick having 50% representation in the Final Four.  However, neither Byron or Kyle Larson left with the title. 

Outside of Hendrick, Joe Gibbs Racing was the other dominant team with Martin Truex, Jr. winning the regular season title and promptly dropping anchor once the playoffs began.  Dennis Hamlin let everyone know that this was his season but per usual, he leaves without the elusive championship.  Christopher Bell continues to show his clutch gene with another great playoff performance and Final 4 berth while Keebler Gibbs won ROTY going away.

Young guns Kyle Kirkwood and Christian Lundgaard took their maiden IndyCar victories at Long Beach and Toronto respectively while the next generation of drivers made their presence felt throughout the entire season.  Marcus Ericsson earned the victory at St. Pete to start the 2023 season and came really close to repeating at Indy but became the story of the 2023 silly season by making the move from Ganassi to Andretti.  Phil and Josh go through all the changes coming to the 2024 grid.

Marcus Armstrong earned the ROTY award for Ganassi defeating Augustin Canapino while the other rookies left a lot to be desired.  The guys go over what stood out and what needs to change in 2024 while also covering the addition of hybridization to IndyCar next season.  Phil and Josh sat on opposite ends of the results in the 49ers/Jaguars matchup, with Josh expressing his displeasure at his team's performance and their long-term viability in 2023.  Fantasy teams also got their look during the football segment.

After two runner-up finishes at Homestead, Cole Custer broke through to win at Phoenix and get his first XFinity title to salvage a brutal year for Stewart-Haas Racing.  Custer won in overtime over Sheldon Creed and championship contender Justin Allgaier.  Sam Mayer finished fifth while John Hunter Nemechek's great season ended with a brutal 28th place finish. 

Ben Rhodes was the last man standing after a chaotic and frankly pathetic Truck Series finale at Phoenix to become a two-time series champion.  Carson Hocevar dumped Corey Heim and the Tricon driver came back to clean Hocevar out.  That incident brought out a yellow which likely cost Grant Enfinger the championship in the final race for GMS Racing.  Kyle Busch Motorsports also ran their last Truck race after years of success.  The guys give their thoughts on what transpired and the viability of the series in general. 

The Brazilian Grand Prix saw Fish Lips dominate and pass his BFF Lando Norris early.  Aston Martin came back from hibernation while Mercedes possibly had their worst race in the last 10 years at Sao Paulo on the heels of winning the pole and race last year.  On the NFL beat, both Phil and Josh's teams are on bye but plenty took place with the injury bug rearing its ugly head.  Fantasy teams are definitely being affected by said injuries.  The guys preview the Jaguars/49ers match-up and Chase Young's debut in the burgundy and gold. 

A brief GSP Roundup covers the WEC finale at Bahrain along with the post-season test along with previews of MotoGP/Moto2 at Malaysia and NHRA season finale at Pomona before Josh's Sim Segment and Show Close.

A controversial and ridiculous XFinity Series race saw RCR teammates Austin Hill and Sheldon Creed use each other up and end up on the wrong side of the cut, while Justin Allgaier took advantage to win and earn his spot in the Final 4.  Phil and Josh get into the race and the aftermath with key players from the organization looking terrible.  John Hunter Nemechek advanced earlier in the race but the last lap incident saw Cole Custer reverse his way into the fourth spot.

Fish Lips took his record breaking 16th win of the season by 15 seconds over Sir Lewis Hamilton and polesitter Charles Leclerc at the GP of Mexico.  Verstappen has won 31 races in the last two seasons and utilized a banzai maneuver by teammate Sergio Perez on Lap One to take the lead.  The fans decided to go nuclear on Leclerc for no reason.  Kevin Magnussen brought out a red flag with a massive shunt and Lando Norris went from tailback to finish fifth.

On the football beat, Phil is frustrated with the 49ers after they go into their bye on the heels of three consecutive losses.  Bad tackling, coaching calls, the injuries of Trent Williams and Deebo Samuel and Brock Purdy making poor decisions for the first time as 49ers starter.  On the flip side, Josh's Jaguars enter their bye on a five game winning streak and come back with a home game versus the 49ers.  Fantasy fortunes are mixed. 

The GSP Roundup looks at MotoGP/Moto2, Supercars, WSBK, NHRA, WRC, WEC and the news of Aric Almirola leaving the SHR 10 car for 2024...what should we expect from that organization after a brutal 2023?  The guys preview, make picks and give the final four order for all three major NASCAR series at Phoenix before Josh's Sim Segment and Show Close.

In spite of this, the guys get into the triple-header at Homestead and Christopher Bell coming in clutch to advance into the Final 4 in Cup.  Bell benefited from the error by Kyle Larson entering pit road behind Ryan Blaney, leaving Larson on the hook and Blaney having to fight back.  Denny Hamlin, Martin Truex, Jr. and Christopher Buescher are all looking up after a rough outing in Miami. 

Sam Mayer chose a great time for his first oval win in the XFinity Series, holding off Riley Herbst to lock himself into the Final 4.  Cole Custer won the pole, led the most laps and won a stage to solidify his position heading to Martinsville.  Sheldon Creed and Chandler Smith are in must-win situations at Martinsville after another difficult day.  Dale Earnhardt, Jr. made his second start of 2023 and finished 5th riding the boards. 

Carson Hocevar's career season continues with a fourth Truck Series victory and clinching a spot in the Final 4, holding off defending series champion (and future teammate) Zane Smith.  Grant Enfinger and Ben Rhodes raced their way through on points. Smith's Front Row Motorsports Ford was disqualified after post-race inspection, eliminating the Huntington Beach, CA driver for the first time in his Truck Series career from a Final 4 appearance.  Joining him were pole-sitter Nick Sanchez (who tied Rhodes on points), Christian Eckes and Ty Majeski. 

The US Grand Prix at CoTA had plenty of fans in attendance and action throughout the event, but the usual result took place.  Fish Lips took his 50th career win and 15th of 2023. Sir Lewis Hamilton got as close as he has to a 104th victory in 2023 but was disqualified along with pole-sitter Charles Leclerc due to plank wear. Lando Norris rounded out the podium on the road but the Smooth Operator ended up on the third step.  Behind that chaos was Logan Sargeant, who became the first American to earn a point in F1 since Michael Andretti at the 1993 Italian Grand Prix.

On the XFinity side, Riley Herbst earned his first career win at home in a Stewart-Haas benefit.  Cole Custer and Chandler Smith led along with Herbst while the championship four will have two drivers advance on points at a minimum heading to Homestead.

For NFL Week Six, Phil deals with San Francisco's first loss of 2023 along with a 1-3 fantasy week.  Josh attended the Jaguars game and watched his team win over former starting QB Gardner Minshew, while Trevor Lawrence avoided serious injury on a terrible late game play call.  The guys look at other key results and player injuries leading to Week Seven.

Numerous yellows and wrecked race cars made up the majority of the day.  This would also be the case for the XFinity Series, where John Hunter Nemechek won for the seventh time in 2023.  Justin Allgaier won both stages and Custer continues his consistency.  Josh Berry, Sam Mayer and Jeb Burton are in trouble leading into the Roval.

Formula 1 raced at Suzuka with the usual result up front, but the McLaren duo of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri taking a double podium finish.  The Australian rookie became the first rookie to score a podium since 2017, but the inter team battles for Ferrari, Mercedes and Alpine provided the drama. 

IndyCar announced their 2024 schedule, so Phil and Josh give their thoughts on the Milwaukee Mile's return with a Labor Day weekend doubleheader and the other changes coming along for the 17-race slate.  The guys also speak about the demise of TMS after 26 years hosting American Open Wheel Racing.

Justin Allgaier held off Daniel Hemric to start his XFinity playoff with a win while Dale Earnhardt, Jr. returned and led before catching fire!  Outside of those two, the rest of JR Motorsports had a rough evening and other teammates definitely left Bristol in a bad mood.  Corey Heim advanced to Phoenix with his victory at Bristol for the Truck Series while Christian Eckes and Zane Smith also featured as the series goes to Talladega.  

The guys spend time to acknowledge Sherry Pollex and her untimely passing after a long battle with ovarian cancer and the input from someone who has been a virus in motorsports with Miss hUMMer.  Zane Smith announced he will be driving for Trackhouse Racing in the Cup Series starting in 2024 through a partnership with Spire Motorsports after the team principles bought Live Fast Racing's charter for $40 million.   

On a rare weekend where Formula 1 fans were spared from seeing and hearing Fish Lips dominate (even when he did break rules and not pay for those transgressions), Carlos Sainz proved why he's a smooth operator with a pole and a second career F1 victory at Singapore.  Lando Norris and Lewis Hamilton rounded out the podium after George Russell bungled the finish taking a possible win and ending up in the wall.  The guys go over other key battles and points before the series moves to Suzuka in Japan.

After the interview, the trio discussed Tyler Reddick's shocking move to 23XI for 2024.  What does this mean for him, 23XI, RCR and who's in play to replace him at RCR?  Could Dale, Jr. and JRM come into Cup?  New Hampshire saw Christopher Bell win his second career Cup Series race and become the 14th different winner in 2022.  The guys go over other key stories like Martin Truex, Jr. and Kevin Harvick who dominated the race along with some drivers that had strong runs but have struggled so far in 2022.  Clyde continues to finish up front and add to his points lead with a solid chance to win the Regular Season title.

On the XFinity side, JRM continues their domination with Justin Allgaier winning at NHMS for the first time but solidifying his shot for an elusive first title.  Ty Gibbs was the other dominant figure but had mechanical issues while Landon Cassill had a career day ruined by a post-race penalty.  The finishing order was definitely random with all the attrition that took place.

Phil, Josh and Joe previewed the triple header at Pocono Raceway this coming weekend along with picks.  Zane Smith essentially needs to start on Saturday to win the Regular Season title and earn another 15 playoff points while all the regulars are looking for one more win before moving to IRP for the playoff opener next week. 

Can Matt Crafton make the playoffs or will the three-time series champion miss out due to an outside driver winning?  In XFinity and Cup, both races could play a big role in the points battles and possibly another winner making the cutoff more interesting. 

NASCAR Cup and XFinity raced at Atlanta with two Georgia drivers getting wins: William Clyde Elliott II gets his league leading third win of 2022 while Ross Chastain takes plenty of headlines making contact with two Gibbs drivers.  Phil compares Chastain to one of his early favorite drivers - Ernie Irvan.

NASCAR Cup and XFinity ran at Road America which saw Beau Reddick's dad beat William Clyde Elliott II in a largely uneventful, processional Cup race.  In the XFinity race, Ty Gibbs passed defending Cup champion Kyle Larson late but the story was Noah Gragson and his intentional hook of Sage Karam down the back straight, causing a massive pileup.  Phil was not happy and expressed as such for his second rant of the show. 

Scott McLaughlin won his second IndyCar race at Mid-Ohio (mistakenly said 3rd on the show) in an eventful race for the Andretti Autosport teams along with other Chevy powered efforts that had mechanical problems including pole-sitter Pato O'Ward.  Alex Palou continues to linger in his title defense while Will Power had an enormous recovery to finish on the podium and cut his deficit to points leader and Indy 500 winner Marcus Ericcson in the points.

At Belle Isle, Will Power avenged the loss from 2021 with a resounding victory this year and a swim in the fountain.  Strategy was huge in a race that surprisingly went caution free and affected many people including teammate Josef Newgarden.  Power had to hold off the motivated Alexander Rossi who was chasing his first win in three years.

At the Coca-Cola 600, Denny Hamlin started on pole and won the race.  However, it was not straightforward.  The Trackhouse duo of Ross Chastain and Daniel Suarez had the dominant cars but late cautions and multiple incidents left the supposed final battle between defending series champion Kyle Larson and Chase Briscoe but the SHR driver spun with a couple laps remaining.  This likely was the best 600 in decades and brought on by the introduction of the Gen 7 car but the issue flipping Chris Buescher over and extracting him are an alarm.

Adding to the domination was Verstappen and Red Bull who maximized their points haul throughout the weekend at Imola to cut Charles Leclerc's lead nearly in half as they move to Miami in a couple weeks.  The racing wasn't spectacular but the conditions definitely made it difficult for all the drivers - including Lewis Hamilton who had one of the worst weekends of his legendary career.

The emergence of Chase Briscoe, Austin Cindric and Sheldon Creed (among others) proves there's a base of talent but the old adage of Supply and Demand is a question...does Matt Kaulig hold the key to this? 

Super Teams in Trucks exist just like the other two series but can anyone infiltrate the GMS/ThorSport/KBM mix in 2021?  Phil and Josh go into John Hunter Nemechek taking a deal to run the 4 Truck for Kyle Busch and what that means short/long term for him and the 38 Cup team along with other silly season stuff. 

MotoGP ended their 2020 season with Miguel Olivera taking a home victory at the Portuguese Grand Prix on the Tech 3 KTM in dominant fashion while new MotoGP champion Joan Mir had a nightmare race.  With the return of Marc Marquez and multiple changes abound on the grid, what should be expected in 2021? 

Formula 1 goes to Bahrain with the focus on the midfield battle since Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes locked up their respective titles in recent weeks.  What should fans be looking for during this three-week season ending stretch in the Middle East? 

Phil and Josh discuss what they are thankful for during this Thanksgiving week at a time and year that has been weird, distressing and frankly insane.  They play each other in the FallBrawl league so previews of that along with Josh going off script and ranting on Shad Khan (worth the listen just for that) along with other football talk too before Josh discussed his exploits in the iRacing Freedom 100. 

Stroll got the pole and had issues that possibly cost him his first win along with Ferrari actually running well in a mixed condition lottery of a race due to hard tires, cold temps and an atrocious resurfacing decision by the Istanbul Park track owners.

Fellow GOAT status driver Scott Dixon took down his sixth IndyCar title at St. Petersburg even with Josef Newgarden winning the race.  Plenty of carnage and craziness took place which the guys went over.  NASCAR ran at Texas with all three series and had plenty of crashing, mist and fuel mileage.

Phil and Josh preview the IndyCar championship decider at St. Petersburg and whether Scott Dixon or Josef Newgarden will add to their championship tallies.  Keys for both are discussed along with other people who could stand in the way.  Formula 1 goes to Portugal for the first time since Jacques Villeneuve won in 1996 at Estoril with Lewis Hamilton trying to get win 92 and stand alone at the winningest F1 driver ever.  NASCAR races at Texas and its not going to be good...but we made picks anyway.
