This week on The Final Lap Weekly, Kerry Murphy and Toby Christie break down a wild weekend at Talladega Superspeedway, where Chase Briscoe scored his first-ever superspeedway win to lock into the NASCAR Championship 4 — joining Denny Hamlin in the title fight.
The guys look ahead to Martinsville Speedway, the last chance for playoff contenders like Ryan Blaney, Joey Logano, Chase Elliott, and William Byron to keep their championship hopes alive. With a razor-thin points battle and tempers sure to flare, it’s shaping up to be one of the most intense cutoff races yet.
