Podcast: Recapping a wild weekend in NHRA, NASCAR, college baseball

AFP auto racing reporter Rod Mullins spent the weekend in Bristol at the Super Grip NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals, and takes us inside the action at Bristol Dragway.

Rod and AFP editor Chris Graham also recap the NASCAR Cup Series race at Sonoma, which was won by Kyle Larson, with Martin Truex Jr. running out of gas within sight of the finish line before he could finish as the runner-up.

Wrapping things up, the guys preview the 2024 College World Series, with a focus on the local teams – UVA, North Carolina, Tennessee and Kentucky.

There are two stories to follow right now with UVA Basketball – the season, which is now down to whatever happens in the ACC Tournament, and the coach search, which is at the end stages on a different time frame.

Today’s podcast tries to dive into both.

I start with a look ahead to Wednesday’s second-round ACC Tournament 8-9 game between UVA and Georgia Tech.

Then we shift to the latest in the coach search, which has had a ton of developments in just the past couple of days.

The UVA Basketball team hosts NC State on New Year’s Eve in the ACC home opener for the ‘Hoos, with a lot on the line, including, apparently, the job prospects of interim head coach Ron Sanchez.

I’m overstating that, as I discuss in this podcast – the writing is on the wall as far as the coaching search is concerned.

We go into that, and also get into the weeds on the odd story coming out of Tallahassee regarding a suit filed against FSU Basketball coach Leonard Hamilton over NIL payments.

There was enough of a break in the torrential rain to allow for the running of the 2024 Daytona 500 on Monday, with William Byron taking the #24 Chevrolet to the checkered flag in the NASCAR season opener.

Rod Mullins joins AFP editor Chris Graham to break down how it happened.

We also discuss the ongoing review of fuel strategies by NASCAR, and the dispute between the team owners and the France family over how the billions that the business generates should be divided up.

Ross Chastain wrecked Kyle Larson, again, but what else is new?

Denny Hamlin bumped and passed Kyle Larson on the final lap of Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series race in Kansas.

There was a post-race fight, but interesting enough, it didn't involve Hamlin and Larson.

AEW continues to struggle in the ratings, averaging 594,000 viewers for its two-hour “Dynamite” on Wednesday.

The show had more ups than downs, though.

I talked with Ray Petree, our resident AEW beat writer here at AFP, to review the show.

We also discussed the controversy that has arisen backstage with Toni Storm making her return on Friday’s “Rampage,” and the lingering issue with the contract status of Ray Fenix.
