Who's Up, Who's Down?

In this week's episode, Neil and Tyler break down the excellent strategic racing at Nashville -- even if it wasn't a great Sunday for brake-rotors. We once again give flowers to SVG and Denny, two of our favorites, before moving on to Neil's NASCAR column on driver stock-watch for the past month: who is trending up or down and why? Finally, we look ahead to the Temple of Speed that is Michigan, with our one-and-done and betting picks. Denny has ascended to the default-favorite status that Larson used to have, but maybe this (of all races) is the moment for a Ford or Chevy to break up Toyota's streak at the American manufacturers' home race.

Thank You, Rowdy

After a week of tragedy, Podracing is back to reflect on the life and legacy of Kyle Busch, both on and off the track. We talk about his titanic resume as a driver, but also break down Neil's story on the incredible spread of Kyle Busch Motorsports drivers throughout the Cup series, where they've made up roughly one-third of Cup starts and nearly half of all wins in recent years (even if we exclude Kyle himself). We also recap a rain-soaked but well-deserved win for Daniel Suárez, and look ahead to the unique track that is Nashville.

How To Be Underrated

Neil and Tyler are coming off the All-Star Race with a new appreciation of both Dover and Denny Hamlin -- we break down Denny's (basically) wire-to-wire win at one of the most skillful tracks on the circuit, and what that means about him as a title candidate. Then we pivot to Neil's column about the Six Types of Underrated NASCAR Drivers -- who fits in each archetype? Finally, we look ahead to the marathon Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte, where we might see Denny win again if he can survive the grueling test, and where Katherine Legge is trying to pull off a historic Indy 500/Coke 600 Double.

SVG SZN

Podracing's Official Patron Saint, Shane van Gisbergen, is back! Neil and Tyler break down SVG's unbelievable comeback drive at Watkins Glen, going from 24th to 1st place in the span of 17 laps, and why the multi-way drama between a hunting van Gisbergen, a desperate Connor Zilisch and a leading Ty Gibbs was peak NASCAR road-racing. Then we zoom out to ask what the stats say SVG needs to do to make The Chase, where he currently has slightly above 50% odds. And finally, we look ahead to the All-Star Race at Dover, a high-skill and high-tire-wear track that should showcase NASCAR's best.

Chase's Chase For The Chase

Podracing's streak of picking winners came to a close in the Lone Star State-- although Kyle Busch was one of the main characters Sunday -- but that didn't stop Neil and Tyler from analyzing all things Texas, including Chase Elliott's win and the bumpy pavement at the track. And in fact, our driver focus segment is on Elliott as well, and whether his ability to mix wins with never having a bad day can carry him to a title. Then we look ahead to The Glen, where we get ready to Go Bowling with our one-and-done and betting picks. Finally, Neil pays tribute to a racing legend we lost this week.
