Brent Crews: Quit Day One. Now a NASCAR Prospect

Bubba Wallace had the speed to win at Phoenix, but a costly pit-road mistake left him with another missed opportunity. Corey LaJoie and Ryan “Skip” Flores break down what’s holding Bubba back, Kyle Larson’s championship lead shrinking from 49 points to just five, and a NASCAR Cup Series title fight that suddenly looks wide open. With Christopher Bell closing in and Tyler Reddick back in Victory Lane, who has the advantage heading to Talladega? What comes next for Brad Keselowski? Corey and Skip discuss his future behind the wheel, the business of driver contracts and whether his championship window is still open. From RFK Racing’s hoodie debate to the difference between paying for past success and future performance, the guys give their perspective on the difficult decisions facing veteran drivers and race teams. Skip also explains why Phoenix is so difficult for pit crews, how low ride heights turn routine tire changes into trouble, and what separated the No. 19 crew as this week’s Pit Boss of the Week. Plus, Riley Herbst’s clash with Michael McDowell, SVG’s reaction to the chaos, Jesse Love’s dominant O’Reilly Series performance, Sheldon Creed’s championship setback, and the Truck Series battle between Kaden Honeycutt and Layne Riggs. The guys celebrate champions across racing, including Rico Abreu, Patrick Emerling, Jake Crum, Caden Kvapil and Mason Walters, before wrapping up with racing memes and reactions to Ron Capps’ wild Funny Car explosion.

Corey LaJoie and Ryan Flores break down a wild weekend of motorsports, starting with the fights and chaos at Martinsville, including the confrontation involving Corey Heim after the ValleyStar Credit Union 300. How far is too far when tempers boil over at the racetrack, and when should drivers and crews just walk away? Then it's on to Kansas, where Kyle Larson put together a dominant NASCAR Cup Series performance, leading 235 of 267 laps and scoring a maximum-points day. Corey and Ryan explain how Larson and the No. 5 team pulled it off, why Chase Briscoe briefly looked capable of stealing the win, and why Austin Cindric may have had one of the best cars in the field. Ryan also goes deep on pit road to explain why the pit-stop time you see on TV doesn't always tell the whole story. They break down rolling time, driver responsibility entering and exiting the box, the No. 45 team's pit-road problems, and the tiny details that can completely change a race. Plus, Corey recaps his top-10 Truck Series run at Kansas and the massive rain delay, the guys react to teammate-on-teammate chaos in F1, hand out Pit Boss of the Week, and look ahead to Las Vegas.

Joey Logano joins Corey LaJoie and Ryan “Skip” Flores fresh off his Bristol win to break down the Ryan Blaney vs. Carson Hocevar fight, revisit his own NASCAR confrontations, and explain why he wants championship No. 4 “for the haters.” The three-time NASCAR Cup Series champion opens up about the immediate regret that follows a pit-road confrontation, what he learned from run-ins with Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin, and Tony Stewart, and how relationships in the garage affect the way drivers race each other. Joey explains why he gave Christopher Bell a break at Bristol, how he capitalized on the late-race chaos to win, and why collecting trophies matters more to him than being liked. Then, Joey takes us inside the No. 22 team’s turnaround with Paul Wolfe, the confidence swings that come with chasing a championship, and why he believes he can outsmart faster drivers. He also gives his honest take on NASCAR’s championship points system, why he preferred the previous playoff format, and what matching Jeff Gordon’s four titles would mean to him. Plus, embracing the boos, Corey and Joey’s traffic-stop stories, Skip’s Pit Boss of the Week, and racing clips and memes covering everything from a three-wheeled dirt modified to why old race cars sounded better.
