After a wild 500 miles, and a shocking winner in Darlington to open the 2022 Playoffs, Chris and Ian discuss the prospects of some drivers that suddenly find themselves on the bubble heading into the second race of the Round of 16. Is Kevin Harvick in trouble after flaming out in stage 3? Are we buying Kyle Busch’s speed despite a blown engine ruining his day? And should we be considering a new Championship favorite following Chase Elliot’s tough afternoon with the Lady in Black?
We answer all of these questions, and preview our next leg of the playoffs taking place Sunday at Kansas Motor Speedway. After a dominant display from Toyota here in the spring, the guys have some decisions to make at the top of the odds board. Is this going to be another week of JGR dominance? Or can another manufacturer take control of this grid and stake their claim as the team to beat in 2022?
