Neil Paine and Tyler Lauletta break down Austin Dillon’s actual, legitimate playoff-clinching win at Richmond — ya gotta give the guy his flowers. Then we dig into the newly released 2026 Cup Series schedule, including big upgrades to the In-Season Challenge track lineup next year. Plus, with Daytona looming as a win-or-go-home elimination race, we talk about who the real superspeedway specialists are — and why the track’s “total chaos” reputation might be a little overstated. And finally, one-and-done and betting picks, where Neil’s best week of the year came riding with… Austin Dillon. Go figure.
