The Final Lap Podcast: Penalties Handed Out, Penalties Rescinded; Can Bell Win Three in a Row?

Hosts Kerry Murphey and Toby Christie have a lot to talk about in the wake of a ziggy-zaggy weekend at Circuit of the Americas. Christopher Bell finds himself on a two-race winning streak after snatching the lead from a hungry Kyle Busch late in the race. With him heading into a race he won a season ago at Phoenix Raceway, can Bell score a third straight win?

And what could be potentially fueling this incredible start to the season for the driver and his No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing team? Kerry and Toby discuss all options.

Additionally, Austin Cindric was handed a 50-point penalty and $50,000 fine for his actions in intentionally crashing Ty Dillon early in Sunday’s race. Should he have been suspended? Or did NASCAR make the right call?

Also, the guys talk about a two-race suspension for Kyle Larson’s pit crew members for a detached wheel at COTA, and the insanely rare news of a penalty being rescinded by the National Motorsports Appeals panel as Chase Briscoe and his team officially have more NASCAR Cup Series points than you, me, and everyone else in the world following the decision by the appeals panel on Wednesday.

Along with fantasy racing expert Rowdy Dragon, Toby and Kerry preview this weekend’s action at Phoenix Raceway, and they give the latest on the lawsuit between NASCAR, 23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports, which saw a new layer added on Wednesday when NASCAR countersued the race teams along with Curtis Polk.
