Hosts: Krista Voda, Kyle Petty & Dale Jarrett from the Charlotte Studio.

On Sunday at Dover, Stewart-Haas Racing was on the verge of having one of its greatest days as a company - until everything went wrong in the final 80 laps. How is SHR putting Dover behind them and focusing on next weekend at Talladega? Dillon Welch is at the team’s headquarters in Kannapolis, North Carolina to find out, and he’s got interviews with Aric Almirola and the team’s XFINITY Series playoff hopeful, Cole Custer.
Late-race restarts have not always gone well for Chase Elliott. But on Sunday, he nailed two of them in crunch time on his way to victory. We’ll break down how Elliott’s progressed in the ‘restart arts,’ which could make the difference in his pursuit of the championship!
Team Penske had a ho-hum day at Dover, but are coming to Talladega, where they’ve excelled in recent years. At such a chaotic and unpredictable track, how have the Penske drivers become steady front-runners?
And it’s been a newsy Tuesday in the NASCAR world, as one veteran driver is forced to say goodbye and a rising star is getting a new crew chief. We’ll have the latest on Kasey Kahne and Daniel Suarez.
