🔥 RACE CHAT LIVE is shifting into Chase mode! Ryan Sieg finally breaks through for his first O’Reilly Auto Parts Series win, while Ryan Preece delivers a career-defining Daytona victory to grab the 16th and final Chase seed. Denny Hamlin enters the postseason as regular-season champion, and Shane van Gisbergen gives it everything he has—but comes up just short of making the 2026 Chase field. We’re breaking down the final regular-season shakeup, the pressure-packed points battle, and what it all means heading into NASCAR’s biggest stretch.[nascar +2]
Under the Hood
Silly Season is turning up fast. John Hunter Nemechek appears set to move on from Legacy Motor Club after 2026, with Josh Berry emerging as a reported favorite for the opening. We’ll also talk Carl Edwards’ return to the Truck Series in the No. 25, plus the star-studded CARS Tour action at Florence Motor Speedway featuring SVG, Connor Zilisch, and Dale Jr.[nytimes +1]
We’ll debate the championship favorites, ask whether FloRacing is becoming too expensive for race fans, and jump into this week’s hottest garage drama: Ryan Blaney vs. Ricky Stenhouse Jr., along with the fan-fueled battle between Jimmie Johnson and Carson Hocevar supporters.
The Road Ahead
The postseason begins at Darlington Raceway with the legendary Cook Out Southern 500—501 miles at the Lady in Black, where the track is too tough to tame and every mistake can change a championship. Hamlin arrives as the No. 1 seed, Preece begins as the No. 16 seed, and the 10-race run to the 2026 title officially gets underway.[motorsport +1]
As always, we’ve got Standouts, Shoutouts & Shoutdowns, your chance to sound off on whether the Chase field should be smaller, and Taz’s Weekly NASCAR Team Rankings to close out the show.
New winners. Playoff heartbreak. Silly Season smoke. Darlington pressure. Let’s roll, baby—this is RACE CHAT LIVE!

Here's something absolutely mind-blowing: Jimmie Johnson and Corey Heim scored their first NASCAR Cup Series victories in their 13th career start, and followed it up with their second 35 days later.

Over 2800 have been run (2,845 to be exact), car number 67 was winless through the first 2,839 races.

Over the last 6 races the number 67 now has 2 wins.

Heim reached 2 career wins faster than any other driver in the modern era (1972 to present). Breaking Jimmie Johnson’s record of 16 races.

AJ Foyt achieved 2 wins in 14 races to begin his cup career (1963-1965).

The only other drivers to do this faster were within the first 2 years of NASCAR’s existence
