The MTG crew is back to dive into all the action from the Bass Pro Shops Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway! 🏁

Christopher Bell may have only led 12 laps, but his smart tire strategy carried him to victory while others struggled with right-side tire failures 🔥. With 14 cautions slowing the race for nearly two hours — a Bristol rarity — tire wear became the story of the night.

We break down:

• 🚨 The four drivers eliminated as the playoff grid shrinks from 16 ➝ 12
• 🔧 How strategy and survival played a bigger role than speed
• 🏆 NASCAR’s decision to move the awards banquet to Scottsdale, AZ after Phoenix
• 🔮 Our predictions for who’s at risk after the Round of 12
• 🗓️ A look ahead to New Hampshire Motor Speedway — Kevin’s first trip back home in nearly 20 years!

Plus: expert fantasy picks, race predictions, and all the bold takes you’ve come to expect from your MTG crew.

⚠️ No episode next week as Kevin enjoys Loudon and some vacation time — but we’ll be back after Kansas to get you ready for the Roval cutoff race.
