    Jul 1 2025

    This week on Mash the Gas, Jeff and Kevin go old-school duo as NASCARSky sits out due to technical issues. The guys break down all the action from the Quaker State 400 under the lights at EchoPark Speedway, where Chase Elliott thrilled the hometown crowd with his first win of the year — and second career victory at Atlanta.

    It wasn’t all smooth sailing though — the Big One struck early, wiping out key contenders and blowing up plenty of mid-season brackets.

    🔥 In this episode:

    • Elliott’s big night in front of the home fans
    • Major wrecks shake up the playoff picture
    • State of speedway racing: is the pack racing era still good for the sport?
    • Is Chicago's street race on the chopping block? Rumors swirl about a San Diego swap in 2026
    • Just 4 playoff spots remain — could we see more than 16 winners?
    • Fantasy picks, bold predictions, and your weekly NASCAR fix

    Strap in — it’s another fast-paced ride with Mash the Gas!

  • The Great American Getaway 400 Presented By VisitPA.com | Pocono | Mash The Gas Podcast
    Jun 24 2025

    The team is back to break down all the action from the Tricky Triangle — Pocono Raceway in Long Pond, Pennsylvania! Chase Briscoe pulls off a masterclass in fuel conservation to hold off Denny Hamlin and capture his first win with Joe Gibbs Racing. That makes 11 different winners so far this season… could we see more than 16 before the playoffs?

    We dive into Brad Keselowski’s decision to pit when pit road was closed — a move that sent him to the tail end of the longest line, but still didn’t stop him from grinding out a Top 10. Plus, we're giving props to Amazon Prime’s NASCAR coverage and looking ahead to the next stretch on TNT as the in-season bracket challenge rolls on.

    Get ready for a Saturday night showdown in Atlanta — we’re talking who’s hot, who’s not, and who we think is headed to Victory Lane.

  • Viva Mexico 250 | Mash The Gas Podcast | Mexico City
    Jun 17 2025

    The crew is back to break down all the thrills, chaos, and strategy from the Viva Mexico 250 at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez! Shane van Gisbergen shook off pre-race illness to dominate the field, leading 60 laps and cruising to a 16-second win over Christopher Bell — officially locking himself into the NASCAR playoffs.

    Kevin, Sky, and Jeff unpack all the wild moments: from tire strategy madness with rain and dry switches, to Kyle Larson rallying back from a wreck to set the fastest lap of the race. The Stenhouse-Hocevar feud continues to heat up, and we dive into what’s fueling the tension.

    Plus, get the inside scoop on the logistical ballet of moving NASCAR's massive operation across the border and back — from hauler travel times and customs delays to flights and equipment handling.

    All that and a look ahead to Pocono Raceway — the Tricky Triangle awaits. Buckle up!

  • Firekeepers Casino 400 | Michigan | Mash The Gas Podcast
    Jun 10 2025

    The trio is back to break down all the action from the FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan! Denny Hamlin led just five laps, but strategic fuel management — and a close call with his gas man on pit road — earned him the win. Hometown favorite Carson Hocevar was once again in contention until a heartbreaking left rear tire blowout ended his day late in the race.

    With only 11 races left before the playoffs, we dive into the current standings and take a hard look at the four upcoming road courses that could shake things up. We also preview this weekend’s historic trip south of the border to the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico City. At 7,200 feet of elevation, we explore how altitude will impact fuel-to-air ratios, tire pressures, and driver endurance. Some crew members are already preparing in Aspen to acclimate.

    Plus, we look ahead to the upcoming In-Season Challenge, deliver expert analysis, fantasy insights, and give you our official race picks. All that and more on this week’s Mash the Gas

  • Coca-Cola 600 | Charlotte | Mash The Gas Podcast
    May 27 2025

    The Mash the Gas crew is back to break down all the action from the Coca-Cola 600! Ross Chastain stole the spotlight, storming from a P40 start in a backup car to claim his first win of 2025. William Byron gave it a run but came up just short, while Denny Hamlin’s fueling issues cost him big.

    We dive into Brad Keselowski finally landing a solid finish, share our thoughts on Amazon Prime Video’s race coverage, and get geared up for the upcoming weekend in Nashville. All that plus bold takes, laughs, and everything in between—it’s another wide-open episode of Mash the Gas!

  • NASCAR All-Star Race | North Wilkesboro | Mash The Gas Podcast
    May 20 2025

    The trio is back to break down all the action from a packed All-Star weekend at the legendary North Wilkesboro Speedway! From the Friday night Cars Tour to the Truck Series showdown on Saturday, and a dramatic Sunday double-header featuring the All-Star Open and the main event, we’ve got it all covered.

    We dive into Carson Hocevar’s win in the Open, John Hunter Nemechek joining him in transfer, and Noah Gragson securing the fan vote. But the big buzz? The promoter’s caution—with Michael Waltrip literally dropping the yellow flag on the track. Was it a bold move or a bust? The team debates its impact and whether it added to the spectacle.

    With Christopher Bell taking home the All-Star $1,000,000 and Michael McDowell’s crew winning the Pit Crew Challenge, North Wilkesboro delivered a weekend of throwback racing and modern excitement. Could this iconic short track become a points-paying race in the future?

    We also look ahead to one of the biggest motorsports weekends of the year—Memorial Day weekend—with Kyle Larson set to attempt The Double at the Indy 500 and Coca-Cola 600. We share our picks for who’s looking fast heading into Charlotte and reflect on the patriotic spirit of the holiday weekend.

    Buckle up—it’s another wide-open episode of Mash the Gas!
