The Great Attrition

Episode 259: The first episode of All Turns No Brakes dropped on May 6, 2016, with Tam and Rene serving their unique take on NASCAR. A few years later, “Front Row Kenny” joined the podcast as a guest and eventually became a full-time host. It’s been one hell of a ride, but sometimes good things come to an end, and this podcast is one of them.   The crew is going on a hiatus from the podcast. As this era ends, we’ll discuss our favorite podcast memories, and a special guest will drop in for our final episode.   The decision was difficult, but we are thankful for each of you as friends of the show. Until next time!   Show notes: Visit AllTurnsNoBrakes.com/   Connect with us: Website: AllTurnsNoBrakes.com Shop: AllTurnsNoBrakes.com/shop Twitter/Instagram/Facebook: All Turns No Brakes @TurnsNoBrakes  Tam @iamSincerelyTam Rene @itsReneGarcia  Kenny @FrontRowKenny  

It's the end of the road in the NASCAR Cup Series as a champion was crowned on Sunday at Phoneix Raceway. Joey "Sliced Bread" Logano got it done and captured his second NASCAR Cup Series championship. Championship weekend was wild as we crowned an Xfinity & Camping World truck series champion in the desert. Joey Logano sliced his way through the competition all weekend long and seemed the most confident going into the weekend. Rene and Kenny will talk about what they thought of the championship weekend. They'll also give their thought on the 2022 season one last time. We want to say thank you to all those who listened this season! It's a pleasure to have great friends on the show!

Episode 257, Was it Mario Kart at Martinsville or should we call it Melon Kart since Ross Chastain stole the show to make his way into the Championship 4. Among the noise, Christopher Bell won the race and will race for a title but the move Chastain made went viral and easily became one of the greatest moves of all time. Rene and Kenny will give their thoughts on the race and the move itself. And of lastly, the final predictions of the 2022 season will be done for this weekend's finale at Phoenix Raceway.

It was a dominant day in Dade County for the No.5 crew as Kyle Larson won Sunday's race at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Hendrick's day of dominance won't win them a Cup Series title but now a chance to win Hendrick's 15th owner's title in two weeks. Briar Starr a journalist from Kickin the Tires joined this week to talk about all the action at Homestead!  Kenny and Briar will talk about their championship favorites as the season comes to a close. Then the two will give their predictions for this weekend’s race at Martinsville Speedway.

74 years later and the chaos continues in the world of NASCAR. Sunday's race at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway went down on the wire between Ross Chastain and Joey Logano. Joey got the best of the "Watermelon Man" as he took the checkered flag and became the first of four drivers to punch their ticket to the NASCAR Championship race. However, that wasn't the biggest topic of conversation, Bubba and Larson tangled and had a bit of a shoving moment. Kenny and Rene will talk about the incident and some of NASCAR's inconsistent moments from 2022 and in the past.  Then the duo will give their predictions for this weekend’s race at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

It was a siren last week, now the bell is rung on the Round of 12 with Christopher Bell taking home the win at the Charlotte Motor Speedway Roval.

The siren sounded off again in Dawsonville after Chase Elliott won at Talladega Superspeedway Sunday. Chase became the first playoff driver to win during the Playoff as the Round of 12 nearly came to a close. For once we didn't have the "Big One" at Talladega and, of course, many drivers have sounded off about safety before this race. Kenny will also talk about his thoughts on what some fans think the industry is like as an employee. Kenny will also talk about who they think will advance to the next round of the playoffs. Then of course the duo will give their predictions for this weekend’s race at Charlotte Motor Speedway Roval

Eagles that fly in the sky are graceful but it was not so elegant for the Goodyear Eagles at Texas Motor Speedway.

Attrition was the name of the game at the "Last Great Coliseum" and once again the first round of the Playoffs was spoiled by a non-playoff driver. Chris Buscher picked up his second career win and the first for Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing. Of course, things couldn't be normal at Bristol after many drivers suffered from power steering, tire, and a variety of other issues. This led to many drivers being vocal about the quality of the Next Gen car. Kenny and Rene will discuss all the chaos that ended the first round. They'll also talk about the biggest move in silly season 2022. Lastly, the duo will give their picks for this weekend's race at Texas. 

The only time a spoiler alert is okay is in the world of NASCAR apparently as the first two races of the Playoffs have been spoiled once again. Bubba Wallace captured his second career win at Kansas on Sunday after holding off co-owner Denny Hamlin and Christopher Bell. Rene and Kenny will discuss the craziness at Kansas as many Playoff drivers were affected by different circumstances on track at Kansas.
