Ryan Preece joins Corey LaJoie fresh off the biggest win of his career: a dramatic Daytona Hail Mary that delivered his first points-paying NASCAR Cup Series victory and punched the No. 60 RFK Racing team into the Chase.

Plus, Corey and Ryan talk about RFK’s rise, Ford’s late-season speed, how simulation tools shape modern race cars, the confidence battle every Cup driver faces, and what Preece believes the No. 60 can accomplish in the Chase.

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?
