This week on The Final Lap Weekly, Kerry Murphy and Toby Christie break down a thrilling weekend at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, where Denny Hamlin scored his 60th career NASCAR Cup Series victory, tying Kevin Harvick on the all-time wins list and locking in his spot for the Championship 4 at Phoenix Raceway.
The guys dive into the fallout for Ryan Blaney, Chase Elliott, and William Byron, plus what Hamlin’s emotional win means for his playoff run and legacy. Toby also relives his perfect fantasy NASCAR lineup (yes, every top-five finisher), while Rowdy Dragon joins in with fantasy picks for Talladega Superspeedway, NASCAR’s ultimate wildcard.
Then, they shift gears to breaking news, NASCAR’s confirmed horsepower increase for short tracks and road courses next season, and the debut of iRacing’s new NASCAR 25 console game with detailed driver ratings. They also touch on Frankie Muniz’s return to racing, full broadcast coverage for all three Talladega races, and new Peacock streaming access for NASCAR fans.
It’s a loaded episode packed with insight, humor, and everything a NASCAR fan needs to know heading into Talladega!
