The trio is back to break down all the action from a packed All-Star weekend at the legendary North Wilkesboro Speedway! From the Friday night Cars Tour to the Truck Series showdown on Saturday, and a dramatic Sunday double-header featuring the All-Star Open and the main event, we’ve got it all covered.
We dive into Carson Hocevar’s win in the Open, John Hunter Nemechek joining him in transfer, and Noah Gragson securing the fan vote. But the big buzz? The promoter’s caution—with Michael Waltrip literally dropping the yellow flag on the track. Was it a bold move or a bust? The team debates its impact and whether it added to the spectacle.
With Christopher Bell taking home the All-Star $1,000,000 and Michael McDowell’s crew winning the Pit Crew Challenge, North Wilkesboro delivered a weekend of throwback racing and modern excitement. Could this iconic short track become a points-paying race in the future?
We also look ahead to one of the biggest motorsports weekends of the year—Memorial Day weekend—with Kyle Larson set to attempt The Double at the Indy 500 and Coca-Cola 600. We share our picks for who’s looking fast heading into Charlotte and reflect on the patriotic spirit of the holiday weekend.
Buckle up—it’s another wide-open episode of Mash the Gas!
