Mike, Nate and Amanda have returned after an exciting weekend at Talladega where Kyle Larson wins his third race of the Chase. There were questions post race if Larson, Chastain, Hocevar or Hill would get penalized for going below the double yellow lines. People also questioned if the Chevy's lifted at the end of the race to let Larson win. What many people don't know is that during the first stage the field had failed to meet minimum speed for a few laps because they were fuel saving and NASCAR had to tell them to pick up the pace or face a penalty.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
