Darlington Throwback or Throw Away

Get ready for Episode 122 of the Race Car Spelled Backwards podcast, where we’re diving headfirst into the chaos and snooze of NASCAR’s latest Darlington dud! This week, we unpack Denny Hamlin’s pit crew pulling off a clutch performance to snag back-to-back wins, while the race itself left us begging for excitement.

We’ve got plenty to rant about: Was Brad Keselowski’s lug nut caution a head-scratcher? Why did Kyle Larson bookend the chaos with the first and last cautions? And what’s the deal with Ryan Blaney’s pit crew woes—can they catch a break?

We’ll also weigh in on Throwback Weekend’s future, share our unfiltered (and not exactly glowing) take on the Gen 7 NASCAR car, and lament the Fox booth’s ongoing slide into mediocrity. Plus, Lamar Jackson somehow makes an appearance in the NASCAR world, more lawsuits spice things up, and a whole lot more awaits.

Buckle up for a wild ride of opinions, hot takes, and NASCAR shenanigans—this episode’s got it all!
