It's Talladega week. Mitch and Patrick break down all the action from the fastest superspeedway in NASCAR. They explain how Carson Hocevar has turned the Truck Series into a circus, why Hallie Deegan doesn't deserve an Xfinity ride, and why AJ Allmendinger needs a 30 for 30 episode.

They also discuss if it was a good race at Talladega, Chase Elliot's winning move, drivers being terrified of concussions, and who is in trouble heading into the Roval. Are too many flaws being exposed in the next-gen car? Has it been good or bad for the sport? They make their predictions for who wins in Charlotte and who gets knocked out before the round of eight.

Finally, Mitch explains why one racing series is just as dysfunctional as NASCAR but doesn't get as much grief.
