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.

What’s in the package? Let’s find out…

NASCAR has announced its 2019 rules package for the Monster Energy Cup Series, which seeks to give fans more side-by-side racing to enjoy. Hall of Famer Dale Jarrett, Jeff Burton and Steve Letarte are all here to give their insights. Could this be a game-changer for the sport?

Stewart-Haas Racing had a great weekend on the ROVAL. Along with getting all four of its drivers into the MENCS Playoff Round of 12, SHR also scored an XFINITY Series win, courtesy of part-timer Chase Briscoe.

Hosts: Carolyn Manno & Dale Jarrett from the Stamford Studio. Steve Letarte from the Charlotte Studio.

The inaugural Monster Energy Cup Series Playoff race on the new Charlotte ROVAL lived up to the hype and delivered a finish that will be remembered for years to come. Today, we’ll go deeper into what led up to that finish, from the ill-fated restart crash with 6 laps to go all the way to the checkered flag. How did Aric Almirola and Kyle Larson secure the last two spots in the Round of 12? And how did Jimmie Johnson get eliminated from title contention?

Playoff rookie Alex Bowman and Clint Bowyer were both able to make the cut on Sunday with Top-5 finishes. How did a late-race pit call make the difference for Bowman? And can Bowyer start a dark horse run to the championship in the next round?

History wasn’t just made on the ROVAL this past weekend. On Saturday night in Meridian, Idaho, 17-year-old Hailie Deegan became the first female winner in the history of the NASCAR K&N Pro Series. The off-road racing champion and daughter of action sports icon Brian Deegan joins us to talk about her big win, as well as her family’s support of her NASCAR dream.
