NASCAR Sky and Kevin Batstone hold it down this week as Jeff Davis sits out, breaking down a historic weekend at the DuraMAX Texas Grand Prix Powered by RelaDyne at Circuit of the Americas 🏁
It was a record-setting performance from Tyler Reddick, who becomes the first driver in NASCAR history to win the first three races of a season 🏆🔥. 23XI Racing is absolutely on fire in 2026, and Reddick had to earn this one the hard way — holding off one of the greatest road course racers in the sport, Shane van Gisbergen, in a high-pressure showdown late 🏎️💨.
We break down all the on-track action, including heartbreak for Connor Zilisch 💔 and a tough outing for Ross Chastain 😬. From bold strategy calls to late-race execution, we analyze how it unfolded corner by corner 📊🧠.
After two superspeedways and a road course, the series now shifts to the desert at Phoenix Raceway 🌞🏜️ — the one-mile oval where last year Denny Hamlin dominated the race, but Kyle Larson walked away with the championship 🏁🏆. Can Reddick make it four in a row? 👀🔥
We also dive into the current situation with Spire Motorsports, give our fantasy picks 🎯, and deliver full race analytics and expert breakdowns you won’t get anywhere else.
Strap in. The 2026 season is heating up fast. Mash the Gas. 🚦🔥
