The MTG crew is back to dive into all the action from the Bass Pro Shops Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway! 🏁
Christopher Bell may have only led 12 laps, but his smart tire strategy carried him to victory while others struggled with right-side tire failures 🔥. With 14 cautions slowing the race for nearly two hours — a Bristol rarity — tire wear became the story of the night.
We break down:
- 🚨 The four drivers eliminated as the playoff grid shrinks from 16 ➝ 12
- 🔧 How strategy and survival played a bigger role than speed
- 🏆 NASCAR’s decision to move the awards banquet to Scottsdale, AZ after Phoenix
- 🔮 Our predictions for who’s at risk after the Round of 12
- 🗓️ A look ahead to New Hampshire Motor Speedway — Kevin’s first trip back home in nearly 20 years!
Plus: expert fantasy picks, race predictions, and all the bold takes you’ve come to expect from your MTG crew.
⚠️ No episode next week as Kevin enjoys Loudon and some vacation time — but we’ll be back after Kansas to get you ready for the Roval cutoff race.
👉 Tune in, fuel up, and Mash The Gas with us!

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
