Parker and Landon discuss the Penultimate Xfinity Race, with teammates clashing, plus PK's insider view at RCR. The tire wear over the weekend, and Hamlin on the wrong side again. Plus much more!
Parker and Landon dive into the Xfinity chaos at Martinsville - turns out nice guys finish first when teammates Creed and Hill turned the short track into a game of bumper cars. Speaking of short tracks, the Cup playoffs saw Denny's championship hopes go up in smoke after getting schooled by Blaney's short track mastery. The dynamic duo review their less-than-stellar championship picks, with Parker striking out and Landon barely hanging on. Shifting gears to F1, they debate whether Fernando Alonso has the Red Bull swagger to replace Perez. Plus the Aussie Supercars put on a classic duel that shows our beloved NextGen still has some work to do in the tire department. Fan questions cover how the new Xfinity rear ends changed the racing dynamic and whether Zane Smith's funky Homestead windshield was an intentional trick gone too far.
