Victory Lane

He then chats with Chase Briscoe (26:30) about sprint car racing, getting started in stock cars, the crazy story of him almost quitting, driving for his childhood idol Tony Stewart, his new nickname (see episode title) and much more. To close, he hits on Lug Nuts of the Week and tells you why Jimmie Johnson may be the most under appreciated athlete of this generation.

Finally, he previews Texas and Irwindale before hitting on Lug Nuts of the Week, including NASCAR’s tweak to qualifying.
