About this episode

Dale Jr. and the crew recap Phoenix with just three races left in the championship battle. They get into Kyle Larson’s struggles, Christopher Bell closing in on the points lead, and the incidents between Riley Herbst and Michael McDowell, along with Zane Smith and Carson Hocevar. Dale explains why he believes NASCAR needs to draw a line when it comes to post-race contact, especially when drivers are hitting each other at 130 mph.
