Welcome back to another episode of 1st Gear with Tanner, and Erik! In this weeks episode we cover Tanners epic race weekend, and his first podium finish of the season with many more to come! Shoutout to our great friends at Wulff Media Group, our partnership has gotten much stronger over the past 6 months, and we have some really cool stuff in the works (more to come on this in future episodes).

The big discussion this week was about the quality of racing the Nex Gen car has produced, and the potential dangers of continuing to run this car. At Talladega this past week Kyle Larson got extremely lucky that Ryan Preece happened to hit the passenger side of the car during a wild wreck. Not a fault of either driver just typical superspeedway racing. You'll have to look up the wreck on Nascar's youtube page to see the damage to Kyles car.

There was a lot of hype with this car, and it has yet to live up to the noise. Hindered with safety issues, and much more we have to ask is this really worth it? The on track product is what puts the fans in the stands and to be quite honest this car isn't good. We've discussed it on the show for a while now, but after seeing Kyle's door bars break during his accident this week Nascar needs to step up and figure this out so drivers don't get hurt or worse.

As always we appreciate everyone listening and we don't run ads so please share the show if you got something good out of it!

Thank you!
