S4E30: Is Talladega Where the Championship is Decided? Meeting Christian Horner
Parker and Landon break down the weekend at Phoenix, and decide who they think the favorite will be to win it all in the 3 NASCAR series.
RSS Feed Talladega could turn the championship fights upside down: one contender’s win might create a 40–60-point swing, while a wreck could erase weeks of progress. Parker Kligerman and Landon Cassill unpack the stakes across NASCAR’s Cup, O’Reilly and Truck Series, including Jesse Love’s sudden 36-point lead and why stage points may matter more than ever. They also share Landon’s encounter with Christian Horner, debate whether Formula 1’s boom is really lifting other series, and imagine Phoenix without its dogleg. Plus: picks for Talladega and COTA—and the very real possibility of Tony Stewart winning the Truck race.
