Denny Hamlin and his co-host Jared Allen are joined by NBC’s Steve Letarte to recap the NASCAR Championship weekend. Before getting to the races, Denny talks about blowing a lead in golf against Michael Jordan.

In the Xfinity Series, Justin Allgaier finally got the monkey off his back and won his first championship. But it wasn’t easy thanks to a crash in practice, a restart penalty, and a speeding penalty.

In the Cup Series, it was Joey Logano collecting his third championship. When it comes to the current Playoff format, the 22 team has written the book on how to succeed. The only car that could hang with Logano was his teammate Ryan Blaney, who ran out of laps to try and pass Logano.

Team Penske has won the last 3 championships and it has left HMS, JGR, and others wondering what they have to do to find speed at Phoenix.

The guys take a look at the current Playoff and discuss changes that could be made to make it better. Letarte gives out his ideal Playoff format.

Plus, what happened with the pace car on Sunday and NASCAR says goodbye to Martin Truex Jr. racing full-time. And, how did Denny get sued as a 11-year-old riding a bike?

Denny Hamlin dives deep into the controversy surrounding Martinsville with co-host Jared Allen. After 27 minutes of debating, NASCAR made the decision to remove Christopher Bell from the Championship 4, replacing him with William Byron. Denny agrees they ultimately made the right call.

But the drama didn't stop there—talk of race manipulation stirred up due to manufacturer alliances and the Playoff format. Denny breaks down the dynamics between JGR, 23XI, and the Chevy teams, exploring how alliances impact on-track decisions and contribute to tension in the Playoff structure. He also explains why banning point discussions over in-car audio won’t solve the issue, and shares his thoughts on how the current Playoff format hinders the rise of true superstars in the sport.

As for his own Playoff hopes, Denny reflects on coming up short this season but remains confident about future championship opportunities. Meanwhile, Ryan Blaney secured a dramatic walk-off win at Martinsville, earning his spot in the Championship 4 for the second year in a row.

Amidst all this, Goodyear’s new tires made their debut, and Denny gives his thumbs up on the performance improvements. To wrap things up, the guys preview their Championship 4 favorites and recap the intense weekend in the Truck and Xfinity Series races from Martinsville.

Plus, was the strategy by the 45 team a gusty call or the only option they had?

Was Kyle Larson’s move late in the race a smart move (33:40)?

NASCAR is now headed to Martinsville for the final race of the Round of 8 (46:00). With a new tire this weekend, expectations are unknown, but one thing is clear for Denny: He wants to win.

Denny reflects on his own performance after a solid qualifying position of 4th turned into a challenging race day (12:00), and why the two-tire stop worked for Martin Truex Jr. but not for him (18:20).

What exactly happened on Denny’s pit stops and did him stopping short in the box cause their problems (22:10)?

Tyler Reddick went airborne after getting in a wreck with Chase Elliott and others. But, who was to blame for the wreck (24:15)?

Denny Hamlin and Jared Allen react to the breaking news that Alex Bowman has been disqualified for his car failing to meet the minimum weight and won’t be advancing in the playoffs. The guys discuss how this could happen and the benefits of having a lighter car.

Kyle Larson won his second playoff race this year and once again in dominating fashion.

Things looked bad for Denny when Tyler Reddick hit him in stage 1. Just how worried was Denny that his chances of advancing could be gone? And, he explains what he was thinking as Kyle Busch put pressure on him at the end of the race.

Reddick put on a show at the end, coming from the back to avoid elimination.

The round of eight is a star-studded cast and Denny believes that’s what fans want to see. Jared puts Denny on the spot asking him to name the four drivers who will advance.

Track limits was a big topic going into Sunday’s race and apparently drivers weren’t 100% of the rule. And did NASCAR give William Byron a pass right after punishing Bubba Wallace?

On Saturday, Parker Kligerman thought he had a walk-off win but a last second caution ruined his plans. The call was the right call, but how they got to the call is something that needs to be looked at.
