Kyle Larson had about as perfect a day as you can have at Kansas, and suddenly everyone wants to hand him the championship. Denny Hamlin isn't ready to do that.With six races left and Denny sitting 26 points back, he explains why he's not panicking. Nobody keeps putting up a 2-point average finish forever, and one bad pit stop, restart or wreck can change the whole picture. Denny, Travis and Jared get into it over who's actually still alive in the Chase, where the cutoff really is, and whether Vegas, Charlotte, Phoenix, Talladega, Martinsville and Homestead give Denny enough time to make a run.Denny also breaks down how Larson won Kansas, including the last-second dive to pit road that kept Chase Briscoe from getting ahead of him, the restart lane Denny would choose, and why the 11 had more of a balance problem than a speed problemPlus, Denny has some strong words for the team that jumped Corey Heim at Martinsville and says they shouldn't be allowed in pit lane for at least a year.Also on this episode: why Ryan Blaney started 25th, Joey Logano's Chase run taking a hit from a tire cord, Austin Cindric finally winning Denny over, the Carson Hocevar restart wreck, Kaden Honeycutt's rain-delayed Truck Series win, the time NASCAR let drivers qualify whenever they wanted, and a text about a Vegas slot machine that just keeps paying out.

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.Subscribe to Stacking Pennies for more racing stories, garage insight, and conversations from inside the world of motorsports.Follow: @_stackingpennies @coreylajoie @skipflores#NASCAR #KyleLarson #StackingPennies #CoreyLaJoie #NASCARCupSeries #Motorsports #KansasSpeedwaySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ryan Blaney doesn't really fight. He'll lose his mind on the radio, climb out of the car, and be completely calm two seconds later. So, when he handed his phone to a crew member, said "hold this," and walked across pit road toward Carson Hocevar after Bristol, everyone was caught off guard. Blaney included.On this episode of Actions Detrimental, Denny Hamlin and Jared sit down with Blaney just days after the incident to get the real story straight from him. Blaney explains that he wasn't looking for a fight. He wanted a stern conversation. Then everything went sideways in about five seconds.He breaks down getting hit twice in the same spot on his cheek, going to the ground, and somehow ending up right back in the middle of it. Denny and Blaney also get into the crew members who jumped in to break it up, including the horse-collar that sent Blaney down, and whether NASCAR's rule for breaking up fights needs to change.Plus, Blaney talks about the on-track battle that started it all, where he stands in the playoffs after three rough races, and why Team Penske always seems to find another gear when the weather gets cold.If you want to hear Blaney tell his side of the Bristol fight, this is the episode.

The day the Wood Brothers let Josh Berry go, two people texted him. One was Joey Logano. The other was Riley Herbst, who had gotten “the worst call in all of motorsports” himself just two months earlier. Riley just wanted Josh to know that it gets better. And it did.Josh went on the best stretch the Wood Brothers had seen since 1976, only to have his future questioned as soon as the results started to slip. Then, despite all of that, he ended up getting a call from Jimmie Johnson and a spot at Legacy Motor Club.On this episode of the Dale Jr. Download, Jimmie Johnson joins Dale to talk about his two newest drivers, Riley Herbst and Josh Berry, and how Legacy's 2027 lineup came together.Jimmie explains why Josh's hot streak wasn't what made the decision for him, and why three years of data ultimately made the case.

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.

He also opens up about the years of betting on himself, the career moments that could have sent him back home to Connecticut, the people who helped keep his Cup dream alive, and what winning with Derrick Finley, Brad Keselowski, his family, and the entire RFK group meant to him.Plus, Corey and Ryan talk about RFK's rise, Ford's late-season speed, how simulation tools shape modern race cars, the confidence battle every Cup driver faces, and what Preece believes the No. 60 can accomplish in the Chase. They also build their dream plot for the new Days of Thunder, celebrate grassroots and short-track racing, check in with Ryan Flores from Italy, and react to the week's wildest racing memes.Subscribe to Stacking Pennies for more conversations from inside the world of racing.Follow: @_stackingpennies @coreylajoie @skipflores #NASCAR #RyanPreece #Daytona #RFKRacing #StackingPenniesSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Before social media algorithms knew everything about you, the internet was a simpler place. A lawless, dial-up wasteland where your email address was probably something like BongRipper69@hotmail.com and one accidental click on Rotten.com could permanently alter the trajectory of your childhood.So naturally, The Rizzuto Show is going back.This episode starts with more nostalgia for the early internet and one of its most infamous destinations: Rotten.com. Back then, you couldn't just stumble across every horrifying thing imaginable while casually scrolling your phone. No, sir. You had to work for your trauma. You had to hear about Rotten.com from somebody, type it into the family computer, click something you absolutely shouldn't have clicked, and then wait patiently while your dial-up connection loaded your lifelong regret one horrifying line at a time.Was Rotten.com disgusting? Absolutely.Does the crew still seem weirdly sad that it's gone?Also absolutely.Then we move from internet trauma to another relic of the '90s and early 2000s: Hotmail.A poll says 18% of people are apparently still rocking a Hotmail address, which leads to an important discovery: Hotmail never completely disappeared. Microsoft eventually transitioned the service into Outlook, meaning technically some of us may still be living inside the Hotmail universe.We're all dorks. Fantastic.The crew remembers the era when nobody used their actual name for an email address. Instead, we created identities that looked like rejected Xbox gamertags: random nicknames, 420s, 69s and enough questionable innuendo to make applying for a respectable adult job years later slightly complicated.And then there are the complaint emails.Apparently nothing tells the show exactly what demographic they're dealing with faster than receiving an angry message from an account created during the Clinton administration.Welcome to daily comedy, where your email provider is now apparently enough information for us to profile you.But nostalgia eventually gives way to competition as Match Up With Moon returns with Rafe versus Moon, and that's when everybody's remaining intelligence begins leaking out of the studio.Round one starts innocently enough.What's Beantown?Boston. Easy.Which amendment gave women the right to vote?The 19th. Look at us go.Who was Wendell the cereal mascot?Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Somehow we still know this information despite forgetting why we walked into rooms.Then comes the question that starts breaking brains:What does the “com” in .com actually stand for?Rafe goes with “communication.” King Scott thinks “company.” Moon correctly lands on commercial, because apparently after decades of typing web addresses, one person in the room finally bothered to understand what any of it means.The trivia chaos continues with questions about Heineken, the 2006 St. Louis Cardinals and one of the most important cereal discoveries of our time: Cap'n Crunch apparently has an actual name.Horatio Crunch.Good for Horatio. Glad somebody finally gave the Captain the respect he deserves.Round two somehow gets worse.Which country contains more than half of the world's natural lakes? What's the only internal human organ capable of regenerating itself? Who originally hosted America's Got Talent? Which fast-food chain helped introduce Tater Tots?And then Rizz makes Moon and Rafe physically write down how many zeros are in a quadrillion.Moon arrives at 15.Rafe ALSO WRITES DOWN 15 ZEROS……and then says 16 out loud.That is the kind of unforced error this daily comedy show was built upon.Nothing quite compares to successfully solving a problem and then personally changing your own correct answer into the wrong one.The crew wraps things up by guessing attendance at the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series race at Worldwide Technology Raceway. Moon guesses 39,000. Rafe throws out 80,000. The actual answer lands between them at 57,000, giving everyone one final opportunity to demonstrate that estimating crowd sizes is basically just guessing jelly beans in a jar for adults.So today's episode has everything you could possibly need: Rotten.com nostalgia, Hotmail archaeology, terrible email addresses, Cinnamon Toast Crunch lore, Tater Tot history, St. Louis Cardinals trivia, NASCAR math and grown men discovering what “dot com” means approximately three decades after the internet became popular.We used to think the early internet was making us smarter.Turns out we were mostly waiting 12 minutes for a picture to load.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Farm4Profit heads to Iowa Speedway for the Iowa Corn 350 powered by Ethanol with Craig Floss, CEO of Iowa Corn, and Eric Petersen, President of Iowa Speedway, to talk NASCAR, ethanol, corn demand, and what's ahead for racing in Iowa. The conversation dives into why Iowa Corn continues to invest in NASCAR as a way to promote ethanol beyond the farm audience. NASCAR has raced on E15 since 2011, providing a high-performance example of ethanol in action while helping Iowa Corn reach consumers and build demand for one of Iowa farmers' biggest products. Craig shares the bigger picture for ethanol, including growing exports to countries around the world, opportunities in Southeast Asia, and the continued push for greater access to E15 and eventually higher ethanol blends. The group also discusses Iowa Corn's work around high-ethanol farm equipment and why creating additional ethanol demand could have a meaningful impact on corn markets and farm profitability. Eric gives listeners a look behind the scenes at Iowa Speedway, including three consecutive NASCAR sellouts, plans for a complete track repave, and the exciting news that NASCAR will return to Iowa over Independence Day weekend in 2027. He explains what goes into rebuilding a racing surface and the massive amount of work required to turn a facility with only nine full-time employees into a major NASCAR venue. From international ethanol markets to 700-horsepower race cars, this episode shows how Iowa Corn is using motorsports to connect farmers with consumers, demonstrate ethanol performance, and ultimately create more demand for corn. As Craig puts it, no matter which driver takes the checkered flag, ethanol and Iowa corn farmers win every race. Want Farm4Profit Merch?

Mark Martin's story of resilience, raw talent, and unmatched car knowledge defined the modern era of NASCAR drivers... and today, he sits down with fellow NASCAR Hall of Famer Dale Earnhardt Jr. to discuss it all! Mark details key moments that defined his career, especially turning down the Ranier Racing No. 28 car ahead of the 1982 season. From there, Mark discusses his long and complicated relationship with Jack Roush. Mark feared Jack, but a trip to a test track and an unauthorized plane landing helped Mark realize the true level of their relationship. In that same trip, Mark and his team got reckless and totaled a group of rental cars — and somehow, the story never got out. And Jack? He was none the wiser. Racing back in the '80s and '90s brought its own slew of challenges, and Mark details several such moments, including subbing out of the car at Pocono mid-race due to heat exhaustion. On top of that, Mark raced with a hand-operated clutch in his late model just weeks after suffering a vicious crash. After discussing Mark's new book, he and Dale Jr. discuss the current state of NASCAR racing, namely the points format that Mark spearheaded as part of NASCAR's Playoff Committee. Plus, Mark shares his potentially radical idea to fix racing with the Next Gen car. All of this packed into another can't miss episode of The Dale Jr. Download!
