Daniel gives great analysis on a race he didn't watch. JK, but he did just get back from vacation. So he gives a statistical analysis on the past race from Texas. But he also uses this episode to totally throw the red flags up on Chase Elliott. However, he gives good reasoning why we shouldn't totally give up on him. Larson tightens Byron's point lead. And heading into Kansas, we have some interesting betting lines to examine. We will most likely have other beat 23XI Racing this week, but who else is an under-the-radar threat? Daniel closes the episode wishing he was going to be getting some Kansas BBQ.
