| Chase Briscoe DOMINATES Vegas! | Mash The Gas | 06 oct. 2026 | 00:32:34 | |
CHASE BRISCOE WINS LAS VEGAS! š°š Briscoe dominates the South Point 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, leading 175 of 267 laps and sweeping both stages as the 2026 NASCAR Chase reaches the halfway point. NASCARSky, Kevin Batstone & Jeff Davis are back on Mash The Gas Podcast breaking down Briscoe's huge win, Kyle Larson's championship recovery, Denny Hamlin's costly spin, Christopher Bell losing power steering, the latest Brad Keselowski/RFK Racing news and the updated NASCAR Chase standings. Plus, we're getting you ready for a long-awaited return: THE CHARLOTTE MOTOR SPEEDWAY OVAL IS BACK! Chase Briscoe and the No. 19 Joe Gibbs Racing team were FAST. š Wins the South Point 400 Briscoe held off Kyle Larson for the victory and leaves Las Vegas 84 points behind Larson with five races remaining. Is the No. 19 officially back in the championship conversation? š KYLE LARSON SAVES HIS DAY This is how championships are won. Larson struggled with handling, endured a lengthy pit stop, lost a lap and finished Stage 1 outside the points. Somehow, the No. 5 fought all the way back to P2. Larson then had a wild final lap involving the outside wall and Tyler Reddick, but still walked away from Vegas with an enormous points day. Larson didn't win ā but he extended his championship lead. š NASCAR CHASE STANDINGS With FIVE RACES REMAINING: š Kyle Larson ā Leader Five races down. Five to go. We're breaking down who's gaining momentum, who's losing ground and who still has a legitimate path to the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series Championship. š CHRISTOPHER BELL LOSES POWER STEERING Christopher Bell was positioned for a huge points day before the No. 20 developed a power-steering problem. Bell battled through roughly the second half of the race without power steering and ultimately finished 23rd. Instead of gaining ground, Bell leaves Vegas 55 points behind Larson. How costly could this mechanical failure become? šØ DENNY HAMLIN SPINS Denny Hamlin entered Vegas 26 points behind Larson and leaves 40 back. Hamlin started from the pole but spun while running near the front, costing the No. 11 valuable track position and points before eventually finishing 16th. Meanwhile, Larson recovered to second. That's another major championship swing between NASCAR's top two Chase contenders. š° BRAD KESELOWSKI & RFK RACING We're also breaking down the major news that Brad Keselowski will leave the No. 6 RFK Racing Ford after the 2026 season. What comes next for Keselowski? Who takes over the No. 6? And what does this mean for RFK Racing in 2027? šļø THIS WEEK ON MASH THE GAS š Chase Briscoe WINS Las Vegas šļø NEXT: CHARLOTTE ā THE OVAL IS BACK! For the first time since 2017, NASCAR's fall Cup Series race at Charlotte Motor Speedway returns to the traditional 1.5-mile oval. After eight seasons on the Charlotte Roval, the Bank of America 400 returns to the oval with only FIVE races remaining in The Chase. Kevin, Jeff & Sky break down: šļø Charlotte Motor Speedway Vegas punished championship contenders. Larson survived. Briscoe dominated. Now the Charlotte oval is BACK. š WHO YA GOT AT CHARLOTTE? š Like Mash The Gas Podcast ā weekly NASCAR coverage all the way to the championship. š§ Stream Mash The Gas everywhere: Spotify š https://open.spotify.com/show/5q7HqM7zPjzZ8OjU6FEXzA

| Kyle Larson DOMINATES Kansas! | Mash The Gas | 29 sept. 2026 | 00:35:58 | |
Jeff, Sky & Kevin are back on Mash The Gas Podcast breaking down everything from the NASCAR Cup Series Hollywood Casino 400 at Kansas Speedway as the championship battle enters its final six races. Kyle Larson didn't just win Kansas ā the No. 5 delivered one of the most dominant performances of the NASCAR season, scoring the maximum 76 points and extending his Chase lead over Denny Hamlin to 26 points. We're breaking down all the action from Kansas, the updated NASCAR Chase standings, championship contenders, possible NASCAR offseason rule changes and everything you need to know before the Cup Series heads to Las Vegas Motor Speedway for the South Point 400. š KYLE LARSON DOMINATES KANSAS This was a statement performance from Kyle Larson and the No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet. Larson led a Kansas-record 235 of 267 laps, won Stage 1 and Stage 2, earned the fastest-lap bonus and collected the maximum 76 points available. But it wasn't completely effortless. Chase Briscoe tracked Larson down late and briefly took control before Larson retook the lead with seven laps remaining and drove away to Victory Lane. It's Larson's second win in the first four races of The Chase, following his Gateway victory. After going 51 Cup Series races without a win, Larson has now won two of the last three races. The No. 5 is getting hot at exactly the right time. š NASCAR CHASE STANDINGS ā LARSON EXTENDS HIS LEAD Kyle Larson entered Kansas with only a one-point advantage over Denny Hamlin. He leaves with a 26-point championship lead. š Kyle Larson ā Leader With only SIX RACES REMAINING in the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series season, every stage point, pit stop and finishing position becomes increasingly important. We're taking a deep dive into the NASCAR points standings, recent performance, momentum and analytics to determine who has the speed to start cutting into Larson's advantage. š„ KANSAS SPEEDWAY STORYLINES There was plenty happening behind the dominant No. 5. Austin Cindric finished P2, while Denny Hamlin finished P3 and continued to keep Larson within reach in the championship battle. Chase Briscoe mounted a serious late challenge for the victory before Larson ultimately reclaimed the lead. We're breaking down the biggest Kansas storylines, including: š„ The drivers who gained momentum Kansas gave us plenty to discuss ā even with Larson controlling most of the afternoon. š§ POSSIBLE NASCAR OFFSEASON RULE CHANGES We're also looking beyond the 2026 season. What could NASCAR change during the offseason? We're discussing potential 2027 NASCAR rules and procedural changes, including qualifying procedures, competition decisions and other areas NASCAR could evaluate before next season. What works? What needs improvement? And what changes could improve the NASCAR Cup Series racing product in 2027? Kevin, Jeff & Sky give their thoughts on what they'd keep, what they'd change and what NASCAR should be evaluating during the offseason. šļø THIS WEEK ON MASH THE GAS š Kyle Larson WINS the Hollywood Casino 400 š° NEXT STOP: LAS VEGAS MOTOR SPEEDWAY! The 2026 NASCAR Chase heads west to Las Vegas Motor Speedway for the South Point 400. After Larson's dominant Kansas performance, the biggest question heading into Las Vegas is obvious: CAN ANYBODY SLOW DOWN KYLE LARSON? Larson has won two of the last three races and now holds a 26-point advantage over Denny Hamlin. Christopher Bell, Joey Logano, Ryan Blaney, Ty Gibbs and the rest of the Chase contenders are running out of opportunities to close the gap. We're getting you ready for Las Vegas with: š° South Point 400 preview Four Chase races down. Six races to go. Larson has control ā but Vegas is next. š WHO YA GOT AT LAS VEGAS? š Like the episode Mash The Gas Podcast ā weekly NASCAR coverage all the way to the championship. š§ Stream Mash The Gas everywhere: Spotify š https://open.spotify.com/show/5q7HqM7zPjzZ8OjU6FEXzA

| Logano WINS Bristol! Blaney vs. Hocevar | Mash The Gas | 22 sept. 2026 | 00:34:18 | |
JOEY LOGANO WINS THE BASS PRO SHOPS NIGHT RACE AT BRISTOL MOTOR SPEEDWAY! šš Ryan Blaney and Carson Hocevar steal the spotlight after a controversial late-race wreck and post-race altercation, while Kyle Larson takes over the NASCAR Chase points lead with only seven races remaining. Kevin, Jeff & Sky are back on Mash The Gas to break down everything from an absolutely wild 2026 NASCAR Cup Series Bass Pro Shops Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway. From Joey Logano's huge Bristol victory to Ryan Blaney's incredible drive, the Blaney-Hocevar controversy, Kyle Larson becoming the new championship leader, Kyle Busch tributes and a rapidly tightening NASCAR Chase ā we're going deep into one of the biggest races of the season. Plus, we're getting you ready for the Hollywood Casino 400 at Kansas Speedway with NASCAR analytics, Fantasy NASCAR picks, expert predictions and much more! š JOEY LOGANO WINS BRISTOL! Don't let everything else that happened Saturday night overshadow what Joey Logano accomplished. Logano put the No. 22 Team Penske Ford in Victory Lane under the lights at Bristol, scoring his third NASCAR Cup Series victory of 2026 and 40th career Cup win. And the timing couldn't have been better. Logano leaves Bristol third in The Chase and only 16 POINTS behind new championship leader Kyle Larson. With seven races remaining, the three-time NASCAR Cup Series champion has put himself directly into the heart of another championship battle. š„ RYAN BLANEY vs. CARSON HOCEVAR This might be the biggest NASCAR story coming out of Bristol. Ryan Blaney had an incredible race. The No. 12 Team Penske Ford led a race-high 202 laps, won Stage 2 and fought his way through the field multiple times during the night. Blaney had to come from the back TWICE and still managed to put himself back in contention for the victory. Then everything changed. While battling late in the race, contact between Blaney and Carson Hocevar sent Blaney hard into the wall, ending an incredible run and leaving him with a 33rd-place finish. Was Blaney wrecked? Was Hocevar justified in holding his ground? Could either driver have handled the situation differently? We're breaking down the incident from every angle ā and then discussing what happened after the checkered flag, when the frustration spilled onto pit road and the two drivers became involved in a physical confrontation. The Blaney-Hocevar rivalry might only be getting started. š KYLE LARSON TAKES THE CHASE LEAD We officially have a NEW NASCAR Chase points leader. After snapping his 51-race winless streak at Gateway, Kyle Larson followed it up with a P2 finish at Bristol and leaves Thunder Valley on top of the championship standings. And this battle is getting incredibly tight: š Kyle Larson ā Points Leader Meanwhile, Blaney's Bristol disaster drops him 52 points behind Larson. There are now only SEVEN RACES REMAINING in the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series season. We're dissecting the NASCAR standings, stage points, momentum, recent performance and the numbers behind the championship battle. Who is getting hot at exactly the right time? Who is starting to lose ground? And who has the speed to stay in this championship fight all the way to the finale? š KYLE BUSCH TRIBUTES AT BRISTOL Bristol weekend wasn't only about the championship battle. There were also plenty of Kyle Busch tributes as NASCAR celebrated one of the defining drivers of his generation at a track where Rowdy created countless memorable moments. We're talking about the tributes, the Bristol memories and Kyle Busch's impact on NASCAR. š DEEP-DIVE NASCAR ANALYTICS We're going beyond the finishing order. This week's Mash The Gas dives into the stats, trends and analytics behind Bristol and the championship battle. Track position. Laps led. Stage points. Recent performance. Momentum. Championship points. We're looking at the numbers that matter as the NASCAR Chase enters its final seven races. šļø THIS WEEK ON MASH THE GAS š Joey Logano WINS the Bristol Night Race š» NEXT STOP: KANSAS SPEEDWAY! The 2026 NASCAR Chase rolls into Kansas Speedway for the Hollywood Casino 400 on Sunday, September 27. And with the championship standings this tight, Kansas could change everything. Larson leads Hamlin by ONE POINT. Logano is only 16 back. Bell is only 17 back. And after what happened at Bristol, Blaney suddenly has serious ground to make up. Kevin, Jeff & Sky break down the drivers to watch at Kansas, recent Kansas Speedway performance, track trends, strategy, statistical advantages and potential sleepers.

| Kyle Larson WINS Gateway! | Mash The Gas | 15 sept. 2026 | 00:34:27 | |
KYLE LARSON IS BACK IN VICTORY LANE! š After a 51-race winless streak, Larson survives one of the wildest races of the 2026 NASCAR season to win the Enjoy Illinois 300 at World Wide Technology Raceway ā scoring career Cup Series win No. 33 and tying NASCAR legend Fireball Roberts on the all-time wins list. This week on Mash The Gas, we're breaking down EVERYTHING from an absolutely chaotic afternoon in St. Louis: a record 18 cautions, exploding brake rotors, two red flags, double overtime, pit-road madness and major implications for the NASCAR Chase. And after surviving Gateway, there are only EIGHT RACES LEFT to decide the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series champion. š LARSON FINALLY BREAKS THROUGH The monkey is officially off Kyle Larson's back. After 51 consecutive NASCAR Cup Series races without a victory, Larson put the No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet back in Victory Lane when it mattered most. Larson survived restart after restart and ultimately held off Alex Bowman and Joey Logano in double overtime to score his first victory of 2026. The win is the 33rd of Larson's Cup Series career, tying the legendary Fireball Roberts on NASCAR's all-time wins list. More importantly for the championship battle, Larson just made a MASSIVE move in The Chase. šØ 18 CAUTIONS?! GATEWAY TURNS INTO CHAOS This race had just about everything. 18 caution flags ā a Gateway track record. Two red flags. Double overtime. 87 laps run under caution. Multiple Chase contenders involved in incidents. And then there were the brakes. Brake rotors became one of the biggest stories of the weekend, with catastrophic failures affecting multiple cars. Ryan Blaney's right-front rotor exploded through the hood while he was running sixth, and the brake carnage continued throughout the afternoon. We break down what happened, why Gateway is so demanding on NASCAR's braking systems and how the failures completely changed the complexion of the race. š„ LOGANO WAS FAST ā REALLY FAST Joey Logano came to St. Louis with SPEED. Logano laid down an incredible 32.817-second qualifying lap, becoming the only driver in the field to break the 33-second mark and beating Kyle Larson for the pole by 0.276 seconds. That speed carried directly into Sunday. Logano dominated Stage 1, scored major stage points and led a race-high 96 laps. The No. 22 was repeatedly in position to win before Larson ultimately took control late. Logano still brought it home P3, extending his streak to five consecutive top-five finishes in five Cup starts at Gateway. Is the three-time champion starting to heat up at exactly the right time? š EIGHT RACES LEFT ā THE CHASE IS TIGHTENING Things just got VERY interesting. Denny Hamlin still leads the NASCAR Chase, but Kyle Larson is now only NINE POINTS behind him. Christopher Bell sits just 18 points back, while Ryan Blaney is 33 behind the leader. Further down the standings, several championship contenders are already staring at triple-digit deficits. Two races into the 10-race Chase, we're dissecting the entire points situation: Who has momentum? Who survived Gateway? Who lost a massive opportunity? And which drivers are already reaching the point where they need something BIG to happen? With eight races remaining, every stage point, pit stop, mechanical failure and finishing position matters. š THIS WEEK ON MASH THE GAS š Kyle Larson ends his 51-race winless streak š NEXT STOP: BRISTOL UNDER THE LIGHTS! It doesn't get much better than this. The NASCAR Cup Series heads to Bristol Motor Speedway Saturday night for the Bass Pro Shops Night Race ā 500 laps around the Last Great Colosseum and the third race of the 2026 NASCAR Chase. Larson enters Bristol only nine points behind Hamlin, and Bristol happens to be one of Larson's strongest tracks. Christopher Bell is also the defending winner of the Bristol Night Race, while Ty Gibbs won at Bristol earlier this season. We're breaking down the drivers to watch, track position, strategy, championship implications, Fantasy NASCAR advice, expert picks and our predictions for who conquers Bristol under the lights. Two Chase races down. Eight to go. Larson is back. And the championship fight is officially tightening up. š WHO YA GOT AT BRISTOL? š Like the episode Mash The Gas Podcast ā weekly NASCAR coverage all the way to the championship. š§ Stream Mash The Gas everywhere: Spotify š https://open.spotify.com/show/5q7HqM7zPjzZ8OjU6FEXzA

| Christopher Bell FINALLY WINS! Southern 500 Chaos + NASCAR Chase Heats Up | Mash The Gas | 08 sept. 2026 | 00:31:45 | |
CHRISTOPHER BELL FINALLY GETS IT DONE! š After seven runner-up finishes and a 33-race winless streak, Bell breaks through with his first NASCAR Cup Series victory of 2026, winning the Cook Out Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway to open The Chase. This week on Mash The Gas, we're breaking down everything from a wild night at the Track Too Tough to Tame, the shakeup in the NASCAR Chase standings, Brad Keselowski and Carson Hocevar, pit-road problems throughout the field, who's heating up at exactly the right time and much more. š BELL FINALLY BREAKS THROUGH After coming painfully close seven different times this season, Christopher Bell finally turned a runner-up-filled year into a trip to Victory Lane ā and he couldn't have picked a much bigger race to do it. Bell captured the Cook Out Southern 500, snapping a 33-race winless streak and earning his first victory of the 2026 season. And suddenly, the championship picture looks very different. Bell has climbed to within just 12 points of Denny Hamlin for the overall Chase points lead. With nine races remaining, is Bell becoming the driver to beat for the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series Championship? š„ KESELOWSKI & HOCEVAR We're breaking down all the action involving Brad Keselowski and Carson Hocevar at Darlington. What happened? Who deserves the blame? And could what happened at the Lady in Black carry over as The Chase continues? š§ PIT ROAD PROBLEMS & DARLINGTON CHAOS Darlington once again proved that surviving the Southern 500 requires much more than just a fast race car. Pit-road mistakes, strategy, track position and execution played major roles throughout the night. We break down the teams that capitalized, the drivers who lost valuable positions and how those mistakes could become increasingly costly during the championship fight. š THE CHASE IS HEATING UP One race down. Nine to go. Denny Hamlin still owns the championship points lead, but Christopher Bell is suddenly just 12 points back. We're diving into the updated Chase standings, who's gaining momentum, who's already feeling the pressure and which teams look capable of making a serious run at the championship. Who is HOT, who is NOT, and whose championship hopes took a hit at Darlington? š THIS WEEK ON MASH THE GAS: š Christopher Bell FINALLY wins in 2026 š„ NEXT STOP: ST. LOUIS! The Chase rolls on as the NASCAR Cup Series heads to World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway outside St. Louis. With Bell suddenly breathing down Hamlin's neck and only nine races remaining in the championship battle, every stage point, pit stop and finishing position becomes increasingly important. We're breaking down Gateway, the drivers to watch, fantasy NASCAR advice, expert picks and predictions, and who we think will leave St. Louis with the victory. Bell finally got the monkey off his back. Now the question is: Was Darlington just the breakthrough, or the beginning of a championship run? š WHO YA GOT AT GATEWAY? š Like the episode Mash The Gas Podcast ā weekly NASCAR coverage all the way to the championship. š§ Stream Mash The Gas everywhere: Spotify š https://open.spotify.com/show/5q7HqM7zPjzZ8OjU6FEXzA

| Ryan Preece WINS Daytona! The Chase Is Set + Southern 500 Preview | Mash The Gas | 01 sept. 2026 | 00:31:51 | |
RYAN PREECE WINS DAYTONA! š The NASCAR Cup Series regular season delivered one final dose of Daytona chaos as Ryan Preece captured his first career points-paying Cup Series victory in the Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona International Speedway ā and secured the 16th and final spot in the 2026 NASCAR Chase. This week on Mash The Gas, we break down everything from a wild Saturday night at Daytona, set the field for the return of The Chase, catch up on New Hampshire and get you ready for the Cook Out Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway. And we have somebody who experienced Daytona firsthand ā NASCARSky was at Daytona International Speedway all weekend long! If Sky sounds a little different this week, you'll quickly understand why. Her voice is absolutely cooked after a weekend of fan excitement, cheering and yelling at the World Center of Racing. She gives us her perspective from the track and what it was like being there for NASCAR's dramatic regular-season finale. š RYAN PREECE GETS IT DONE AT DAYTONA What a night for Ryan Preece and RFK Racing. Preece entered Daytona 31 points behind Shane van Gisbergen for the final Chase position and nearly saw his hopes disappear after being involved in an incident at the end of Stage 1. Instead, the No. 60 team repaired the car, Preece fought his way back through the field and put himself in position when it mattered most. Then came the final lap. Zane Smith was leading when contact from Tyler Reddick sent Smith spinning and triggered a massive multicar crash on the backstretch. Preece avoided the carnage and was ahead of Daniel SuĆ”rez when NASCAR displayed the caution, giving Preece his first career points-paying NASCAR Cup Series victory. Preece ultimately finished the regular season 17 points ahead of SVG, completing an incredible turnaround to grab the final Chase position. š THE 2026 NASCAR CHASE FIELD IS SET Twenty-six races are complete, and now the championship fight begins. Denny Hamlin enters The Chase as the No. 1 seed, followed by Ryan Blaney, Tyler Reddick, Ty Gibbs and Chase Briscoe. Christopher Bell, Kyle Larson, Chase Elliott, Joey Logano, Chris Buescher, Daniel SuĆ”rez, Carson Hocevar, William Byron, Bubba Wallace, Austin Cindric and Ryan Preece complete the 16-driver field fighting for the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series Championship. We break down the points, championship favorites, drivers with work to do and who we believe could make some serious noise over the final 10 races. š¦ CATCHING UP ON NEW HAMPSHIRE Kevin is back from his New England vacation, and we're also explaining why there wasn't a Mash The Gas episode last Monday. That means we've got some catching up to do from New Hampshire Motor Speedway, where Ryan Blaney went back-to-back at Loudon, scoring his third victory of 2026 and the 20th NASCAR Cup Series win of his career. We'll hit the biggest New Hampshire storylines before turning our attention back to Daytona and the championship battle ahead. š„ THE CHASE BEGINS AT DARLINGTON There couldn't be a more appropriate place to begin the championship fight. The NASCAR Cup Series heads to Darlington Raceway for the Cook Out Southern 500 and the first race of the 10-race Chase for the NASCAR Cup Series Championship. The Southern 500 goes green Sunday, September 6 at 5 p.m. ET, with the championship contenders facing one of the toughest races of the entire season at the legendary Track Too Tough to Tame. š THIS WEEK ON MASH THE GAS: š Ryan Preece's first NASCAR Cup Series points win The regular season is over.

Ty Gibbs is back in Victory Lane! This week on Mash The Gas, we break down Gibbsā second NASCAR Cup Series win of 2026 after holding off Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Christopher Bell in the Iowa Corn 350 at Iowa Speedway. Bell comes home second yet again, adding another runner-up finish to his 2026 season. How many more times can the No. 20 get this close before finally breaking through? Denny Hamlin delivered one of the drives of the day, overcoming a deep starting position and brake issues to charge into the Top 5. Meanwhile, it was heartbreak for Tyler Reddick after a Lap 4 crash ended his day early and dealt a major blow to his points advantage. Then we tackle one of the biggest debates coming out of Iowa: Should Iowa Speedway be repaved?

If a caution comes out with 10 laps or fewer remaining in Stage 1 or Stage 2, NASCAR can now declare the stage complete and use that caution as the stage break. Is it a smart procedural change or another complication NASCAR didnāt need? Plus, we discuss the latest surrounding the 2027 NASCAR schedule and what we want to see as NASCAR continues shaping the future of the Cup Series. Finally, itās time to look ahead to the Cook Out 400 at Richmond Raceway!

The MTG crew is back as we break down one of the most debated races of the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series seasonāthe Window World 450 at North Wilkesboro Speedway, the first NASCAR Cup Series points race at the historic short track since Jeff Gordon won there in 1996. Joey Logano reminded the garage why the No. 22 team is never out of the championship conversation, absolutely dominating the field by leading a career-high 323 of 450 laps to score his first victory of the 2026 season, snap a lengthy winless streak, and position himself into The Chase. Team Penske officially has all of the momentum heading into the stretch run.Ā But was the racing good enough? With only six cars finishing on the lead lap, long green-flag runs, and the race ending in under three hours, NASCAR fans are split. Did North Wilkesboro deliver the old-school short-track racing we've been asking for, or should the sport rethink this event as a points race? We're debating whether this iconic venue deserves a permanent place on the championship schedule or if it's better suited as the home of the All-Star Race. š„ This week on Mash The Gas: š Joey Logano's dominant drive and what it means for the championship picture. š Is North Wilkesboro officially backāor did the racing miss the mark? š„ Alex Bowman vs. Tyler Reddick entering pit road.

Jeff, Kevin, and Sky are back behind the mics one last time this season to break down NASCAR Championship Weekend! The 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season ends with Kyle Larson taking home his second championship ā despite not leading a single lap at Phoenix.
