Hosts: Carolyn Manno & Dale Jarrett in the Stamford Studio. Steve Letarte & Nate Ryan at Burton’s Garage.

· Martin Truex Jr. dominated the mile-and-a-half tracks on his way to the championship last season. In 2018, he’s again part of the title picture - but by winning at different kinds of tracks. After triumphs earlier this season on the 2-mile oval at Fontana and the 2.5-mile ‘Tricky Triangle’ at Pocono, Truex scored a road course victory Sunday at Sonoma. Does this make him the title contender everyone should fear? Plus: Our resident crew chief, Steve Letarte, breaks down the ‘fake’ pit call from Truex’s crew chief, Cole Pearn, that loomed large in the end.

· With 10 races left in the regular season, only 6 drivers have won a race to lock in playoff spots - meaning that racing for points will take on even more importance! We’ll focus on four winless drivers that failed to take the checkered flag Sunday, but had a good points haul that could make the difference between racing for a championship and racing for pride.

· And now, it’s our turn! As NASCAR shifts to NBC and NBCSN, we’ll have a preview of what to expect when we head to Chicagoland this coming weekend.

· Fresh off Father’s Day last Sunday, today’s My Home Track shows what one dad did to deserve this year’s “Father of the Year” mug.
