Episode Synopsis

NASCAR is stepping up its game for the championship weekend at Phoenix Raceway, with intense pre-race inspections and post-race engine teardowns for the top three series. The Cup Series champion's engine inspection could last up to four hours, while the Truck and Xfinity races' inspections will continue into the next morning. NASCAR has also expanded its remote race control center and increased staff to ensure thorough monitoring of each race. Despite these changes, pre-race routines remain the same, and the celebration after the races will be filled with champagne and grape juice for younger drivers. Officials also discussed hot topics like Sam Mayer's suspension and the introduction of a fresh tire for the Cup finale.The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered. Hosted on Acast.
