It was a tough week at the track for Denny, but you'd never guess it from where he sits in the standings.Gateway put a lot on him, and the conditions certainly didn't make it any easier.

He walks through why, and doesn't hold back when it comes to who he thinks was actually in the wrong.The guys also dig into everything else from Sunday, including why there were so many cautions, what's behind the brake issues several teams dealt with, and Denny reviewing his contact with Larson on a restart. He walks through what he saw in the moment, then realizes his read on it might have changed after watching it back.And even after two tougher weeks on the track, Denny's still leading the Chase standings.

The Daytona regular-season finale left Denny Hamlin with a scoring dispute, a broken camera, and a front-row seat to one of the most brutal single-lap swings of the season. On this episode of Actions Detrimental, Denny breaks down the timing discrepancy he believes affected the official scoring. He pulls up his own in-car footage showing a green light on track when NASCAR's timestamp says the caution had already come out, and explains why he believes there's a sync issue between the trackside lights, NASCAR's data, and what shows up on the TV broadcast. He also talks about racing most of Daytona without a usable rear camera. Denny estimates it cost him roughly 30% of what he needs to race competitively at a superspeedway, and explains why not being able to see behind him made him much more hesitant to make aggressive moves throughout the race. Then there's the wild final lap. Ryan Preece put together what Denny calls one of the most impressive superspeedway runs of his Cup career to lock into the playoffs, while SVG spun through the grass almost at the exact same time and lost a spot he'd held for months. Denny breaks down how it all unfolded and just how quickly everything changed. He also weighs in on NASCAR's new superspeedway aero package, a rare mid-season rule change, including why some drivers pushed back on it and why others liked it. Denny shares his own idea for fixing the stage-length issue that led to so much fuel-saving frustration, plus a Chase points rule he thinks unfairly limits how high a driver can finish if they miss the playoffs. And with the ten-race Chase about to begin, Denny gives an honest look at what it's actually like to carry the “favorite” label when everyone expects you to win. Plus, the Jimmie Johnson throwback paint scheme reveal, the multi-car wreck that shaped the final laps, and the story of how Denny's team nearly ended up at the wrong airport to pick him up.

Recorded: August 4th 2026 | Welcome back ot another episode of Racin’ With The Boys. This week we are joined by the owner of trackhouse Racing Justin Marks, and his driver Ross Chastain. The guys start off the episode with the beginning of Justin and Ross’s relationship and how Ross basically took Justin’s job in the truck series. Ross then gets into the crazy story of his main sponsors when he was coming up through the ranks ended up getting raided by the FBI in a billion dollar Ponzi scheme. Then the guys get into how Justin started Trackhouse Racing and his vision in trying to approach creating a racing team in a different way. Rather than being a side business, he wanted to make it into something where people can root for a whole team rather than just specific drivers. Justin gets into how he knew he wanted Ross to be one of his drivers and Ross talks about whether or not he thought about possibly joining a different team. Ross then gets into what has been coined as the “Hail Melon”, the viral moment of him wall riding to get into the Championship 4 at Martinsville. He gets into what his mindset was when he made the crazy decision, something that if you haven’t seen, you need to pause this and go check it out. Finally the guys end the show talking about what real “speed” in in NASCAR and how to find those tenths of a second in their cars. Also the struggle that goes into finding that speed and what all goes into that process. Will and Taylor then ask what is would cost for the boys to sponsor one of the Trackhouse cars for a race, there may be a race where you see a “The Boys” sticker on a car.

Let's get ready to DIRTY THIRTY! Your week's been too squeaky clean — you need a dose of Dale discussing The Chase field, Door Bumper Clear commenting on Carson Hocevar, and a story about one of Dale Earnhardt's commercial props that Dale Jr. still has. We open up with Dale Jr. talking us through why he thinks The Chase field is too large and should be trimmed down to 12 ... heck, maybe even 10 drivers! Next up, Denny Hamlin had a tough day in Iowa because his brakes were basically useless. He discusses his conversations with NASCAR and the penalty they pondered creating if he went too far with his antics. Then, in Door Bumper Clear, the gang highlights the comments Carson Hocevar made about the sport "being on a ventilator" and why they simply disagree with him. Our guest on the Dale Jr. Download was Ken Ragan this week, and he had a front row seat to Richard Petty's 200th win -- literally! Last but definitely not least, Amy can't believe it when Dale Jr. reveals he still has a rather unusual item you wouldn't expect the Intimidator to have owned. All this fun in only 30 minutes?

This week on Bringing the Heat With Trey Lyle, Caleb Barnes joins Lyle to focus on the biggest takeaways from the race at Iowa Speedway and talk the hottest topics of the week so far. One driver who has been a not-so-hot topic is Tyler Reddick, after a mistake took the No. 45 out of contention in the opening laps over the weekend. While Barnes believes the panic level is pretty high for the team, these next few races are key for Reddick to regroup and try to rebuild some confidence before the start of the Chase. With just three races left before the cutoff, Barnes and Lyle debate the drivers with the most to lose — or gain — when it comes to qualifying for the field of 16 drivers. That includes some concern about Shane van Gisbergen, along with some hope for some of the Ford drivers to use their short track speed to close on the cut line. Is Corey Heim vs. Carson Hocevar the Next Great NASCAR Rivalry?It might be a little too early to say yes. This week, fans found out that Corey Heim will not be eligible to compete for Rookie of the Year in 2027 due to a new regulation NASCAR is putting in place to determine who can qualify for the award. Barnes believes it's an unnecessary addition, while Lyle wonders if the Cup Series will even have anyone else available to run for 2027 Rookie of the Year. This week's news also brings a number of schedule announcements, including the return of the All Star Race to North Wilkesboro Speedway. While Barnes is sad to see the points race taken away, he thinks it's an opportunity to go to work on the short track package. Meanwhile, Lyle shares his excitement that the O'Reilly Auto Parts Series is returning to the historic venue in 2027. This week's soundbite comes from Christopher Bell, who reiterates some of his frustration with finishing in the runner-up spot yet again.

Door Bumper Clear is back with Freddie Kraft, Tommy Baldwin, Karsyn Elledge and Spire Motorsports crew chief Kevin “Bono” Manion to break down another busy week as NASCAR returns to Iowa. The crew digs into the Iowa race weekend, including the strategy, passing, and how difficult it was to get around the leader in the Cup race. They also get into NASCAR's new stage caution rule, why Freddie thinks NASCAR may have fixed the wrong problem, and the bigger issue of how long stage cautions have become. Tommy and Bono sound off on the Truck Series, from inspection and body rules to the potential move to single-lug wheels and the cost of constantly changing the rules. Plus, the crew debates NASCAR's upcoming schedule, the way races are being announced, Carson Hocevar's take on the current state of NASCAR, and whether the sport is really “on a ventilator.” And, of course, there's plenty of racing stories, arguments, laughs and classic Door Bumper Clear chaos along the way.

With no race this weekend and Denny Hamlin on vacation, Todd Gilliland and Connor Zilisch step in to keep the show going. Todd just won the in-season tournament, and apparently everyone already has their hand out. Spoiler: he doesn't keep all of it. Off the track, Todd is an avid fisherman who would rather not actually touch the fish, and he wastes no time calling out Denny on both his fishing skills and his takes on the tournament. Connor opens up about the challenges of his rookie Cup Series season, breaking down the biggest adjustments going from O'Reilly to Cup and why the added practice NASCAR is rolling out can't come soon enough. The guys also debate whether NASCAR should rethink how qualifying order is decided. From there, Connor shares what it's actually like spending time with SVG, Todd gives a behind-the-scenes look at life at Frat (Front Row Motorsports), and the guys weigh in on whether Carson Hocevar should expect any grace from the field going forward. Other topics include: who would win in a boxing match between Zane Smith and Carson Hocevar, what an SVG vs. Austin Hill fight would look like, whether it's better to call or text a driver after wrecking them, who's in the dog pound, who's headed to the loser's dinner, which driver might be into conspiracies, and which one won't stop talking after a few drinks. Oh, and Connor thinks Todd might be going through a midlife crisis. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
