· Kevin Harvick and the #4 team's major penalties from Texas are still reverberating. No longer in the Championship 4, Harvick holds the final spot by only a few points. But with the Playoffs heading to Phoenix, he's coming to his best track - and a 10th win in the desert would send him to Miami. Today, we'll focus on Harvick and the Bottom 4 - Kurt Busch, Chase Elliott, Aric Almirola, and Clint Bowyer - as they head for the biggest race of the season!

· SiriusXM's Pete Pistone joins the show with his thoughts on the Harvick penalties, including how they're being perceived beyond the NASCAR world. Teams constantly pushing the limits to gain performance is a fact of life in the garage. But when a team crosses the line, does that tradition end up hurting the sport's image?

· Already in the Championship 4 with a win at Martinsville, Joey Logano and the #22 Team Penske crew are having to balance preparations between this weekend and the finale in Miami. Crew chief Todd Gordon shares how they're doing it in an interview with Marty Snider. Plus: How has the continuity of the #22 pit crew and road crew helped Logano contend for a title once again?

· The XFINITY Series is heading for its own Playoff elimination race on Saturday at Phoenix, where Elliott Sadler hopes to lock into the Championship 4. No matter what, Sadler faces the final two races of his career as a full-time driver. Can the 43-year-old veteran earn an opportunity that few athletes receive - to go out as a champion?

Hosts: Carolyn Manno, Parker Kligerman & Kyle Petty in the Stamford Studio.

Kelli Stavast is crisscrossing Charlotte to see where several of the top Playoff teams stand as they look toward next weekend's race at Texas. Here's what to expect on Kelli's Shop Tour:

Kyle Busch and the #18 team are sitting in good shape after a Top-5 finish at Martinsville. Kelli talks with the team's crew chief, Adam Stevens, to see why they're confident of even more success in Texas.

Kelli also goes one-on-one with Mike Bugarewicz, crew chief for the #14 team of Clint Bowyer. After a promising day at Martinsville went south with a late-race spin, how does the #14 team plan to rally and score a win to reach the Championship race?

Another Playoff driver in trouble is Chase Elliott, who's gone from hottest driver in the sport to facing elimination in just one week. Kelli checks in with the 9 team, which still has optimism for the rest of the Round of 8 - and they have good reason for it!

Also on today's show:

The sights and sounds from Joey Logano’s thrilling victory in Scan All Martinsville

A preview of the upcoming XFINITY Series Playoff race at Texas

And with Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers set to face off this weekend on Sunday Night Football, we’ll ponder over who can lay claim to being NASCAR’s G.O.A.T.

A bump and run on the final lap sent Joey Logano to the Championship race in Miami and left defending champion Martin Truex Jr. fuming! While the NASCAR world continues to digest Sunday’s finish at Martinsville, our Kelli Stavast is at Team Penske to get Logano’s reaction one day later. Meanwhile, after another near-miss this season, will Truex finally be driven to retaliate? Or is payback simply not in his DNA?

Kyle Petty and Nate Ryan will go ‘On The Clock’ to size up the other 6 Playoff contenders’ day at Martinsville. Who’s still in good shape to make Miami and who’s already facing a must-win situation for the next 2 weeks?

Plus: Jimmie Johnson’s new era in 2019 will include a new sponsor! We’ll have more on Ally Financial’s full-season partnership with the #48 team for 2019 and 2020.
