As NASCAR AMERICA gathers around the Big Oak Table in Charlotte, our crew chief Steve Letarte will discuss the mentality it takes to make tough calls under pressure.

- The debate continues over the aero package used in last month’s All-Star Race. While fans enjoyed the closer racing that it produced, Brad Keselowski made his case at Michigan that the package would take drivers out of the equation and ultimately hurt the sport. Were Keselowski’s comments right or wrong?
