Stacking Pennies with Corey LaJoie

Connor Zilisch joins Corey LaJoie and Ryan Flores on Stacking Pennies to talk about one of the biggest weeks of his young career.
Zilisch opens up about the decision to join Hendrick Motorsports, the first call from Rick Hendrick, and the difficult conversations with Justin Marks as he prepares to eventually leave Trackhouse. He explains why the decision kept him up at night, what Hendrick sees in him, and why he knows the expectations change when he gets behind the wheel of the No. 48.
The guys also get into the reality of Zilisch's first Cup season, sitting 34th in points, learning how massive the jump is from the O'Reilly Series to Cup, finding confidence through bad Sundays, and what he still needs to improve before making the move to Hendrick.
Plus, Connor breaks down racing on wet tires at Loudon, his run-in with Carson Hocevar, his relationship with Shane van Gisbergen, NASCAR driver numbers, Red Bull adventures, racing Scott Speed's Mount Washington hill climb on iRacing, Mario Kart battles on the team plane, and whether Red Bull could ever convince him to go 400 mph.
Corey and Skip also break down the 88 pit crew, pit-road mistakes from Loudon, the wild racing clips and crashes from around motorsports, and this week's Pit Boss of the Week.

Sam Hunt joins Corey LaJoie, Skip Flores and Stacking Pennies for an honest look at what it really takes to own and operate a NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series team.
Sam talks about building Sam Hunt Racing from almost nothing, the financial pressure of keeping a race team alive, employing
roughly 30 people, developing drivers who eventually move on to bigger opportunities, and the moments when he has wondered whether the team could keep going.
The guys also dig into the future of the O’Reilly Series car, why independent teams are fighting an uphill battle, what a new car could mean for SHR, and why some of the best racing in NASCAR can also be one of the hardest businesses to make work.
Plus, Skip is spending NASCAR’s off-week at the Knoxville Nationals before heading back home to race at Bowman Gray, the guys debate why racers can never actually take a weekend off, break down Iowa, name the Pit Boss of the Week, and ask the important question: would any of them actually climb into a 410 sprint car?

Corey Heim joins Corey LaJoie for a special edition of Stacking Pennies to talk about how life has changed after winning at San Diego and the Brickyard, why waiting for the right Cup opportunity mattered, and what it takes to prepare on a part-time schedule.
Heim breaks down his Indy qualifying lap, the final restarts, working with Bootie Barker, and why the people and organization around a young driver can matter more than simply moving up as fast as possible.
The two Coreys also debate whether Heim should keep the No. 67, compare Late Model, Truck and Cup cars, talk short-track racing, development paths, the Next Gen car, and what Heim wants people to say he proved during this part-time chapter of his career.
Drop a comment: Should Corey Heim keep the No. 67?
