As summer winds down and Labor Day weekend arrives, NASCAR action is just heating up! The Cup and Truck Series kick off their playoffs at Darlington, where the Southern 500 stands tall as one of the sport's crown jewels and a true end-of-summer tradition. Over on the West Coast, the Xfinity Series takes on the Portland road course, while the ARCA Menards Series goes dirt racing at the historic DuQuoin State Fairgrounds.
We'll break down the big storylines:
ARCA: A three-way battle brews between Brent Crews, Max Reaves, and Brenden Queen.
Xfinity: Connor Zilisch continues to fight through his collarbone injury—can he still dominate?
Trucks: The playoffs begin—can Corey Heim make it three wins in a row?
Cup: After Chase Briscoe's upset last year at Darlington, which playoff driver will strike first in the Southern 500?
Plus: Yellow Flag / Green Flag, Discussions with Dave, an interview with Daniel Hemric, Fast Davey's Bets, predictions for Gateway, and so much more on this week's Splash of Gas!
