We’re kicking things off with a Richmond NASCAR Weekend Recap that had no shortage of drama:

Austin Dillon pulls off redemption at Richmond, locking in his sixth career Cup win and becoming the first back-to-back Cook Out 400 winner in 15 years! He led 107 laps and held off both Ryan Blaney and a hard-charging Alex Bowman. Meanwhile, Bubba Wallace looked like the car to beat—dominating Stage 2 until a late race pit stop destroyed their momentum. We discuss the implications the win has on the playoffs, and our honest thoughts about AD.

Corey Heim once again proved why he’s the championship favorite. He not only captured the win, but beat the more dominant truck of Majeski due to some untimely contact with his teammate, Matt Crafton.

Then we flip the script and look ahead with our NASCAR Daytona Race Preview 🏁. Superspeedways mean chaos, and Daytona never disappoints in that realm. We’re breaking down the playoff picture, the dark horses who could shake things up, and preparing the fans for the fuel strategy. Whose bold moves will pay off when every lap feels like overtime?

Tune in as we debate, analyze, and maybe even argue a little over what’s coming next. Daytona is always wild... so let's try not to crash out.

In this episode of the Four Wide Podcast, the crew recaps a headline-making weekend in NASCAR. Bubba Wallace captured a historic victory at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. He survived two overtime restarts, unpredictable weather, and late-race pressure by Kyle Larson to secure his third career Cup Series win and punch his ticket to the playoffs.

Meanwhile, in the Xfinity Series, Austin Hill stirred up controversy after making contact with Aric Almirola late in the race, triggering a wreck that ultimately led to a MAJOR blow to his playoff run.

This week, we break down all the twists from Dover — Denny Hamlin grabs another win, but it’s Chase Elliott who dominated the stat sheet with 238 laps led, only to lose it all after a controversial two-tire call on the final pit stop. We dive into how that decision could affect his playoff momentum and what Ty Dillon’s underdog P20 means as he sneaks into the In-Season Challenge finale. It might not look flashy, but it’s a massive moment for him and Legacy MC. Then we turn our eyes to Indy, where the Brickyard returns to the oval with $1 million on the line for two finalists, while the rest of the field battles for one of NASCAR’s most prestigious crown jewels. Buckle up — it’s Four Wide time.

This week on the Four Wide Podcast, we break down all the action from a wild weekend in wine country. The Xfinity Series saw 18-year-old Connor Zilisch steal the spotlight, fending off road-course ace Shane van Gisbergen in an electric final-lap duel. It was Zilisch’s third win of the season — and easily his most impressive yet — as he led the most laps and proved he’s here to stay.

Then in Sunday’s Cup Series race, SVG reminded everyone why he’s the new king of the twisties. He dominated from the pole, led 97 of 110 laps, and held off both Chase Briscoe and a hard-charging Chase Elliott through multiple late-race restarts. With another road-course win in the books, SVG is officially a force to be reckoned with heading toward the playoffs.

We break down the strategy calls, the battles up front, and what these results mean for the postseason picture. Plus, we talk about the rise of young talent in Xfinity, Hendrick’s weekend rebound, and how road racing is shaking up the NASCAR landscape.

Tune in as we go four wide through the hills of Sonoma!

Shane van Gisbergen makes history: he becomes the first driver since Kyle Busch (2016) to sweep both Xfinity and Cup races from the pole—leading 27 of 50 laps in Xfinity, then 26 of 75 in Cup at Chicago.

He also passes Marcos Ambrose to become the winningest foreign-born driver in NASCAR Cup history.

Bonus stat: SVG is the first rookie since Denny Hamlin (2006) to score two Cup wins in a rookie season, with one already at Mexico City.

We break down:

• His dominant performance in Chicago, overcoming heat, cautions, and a late crash drama.
• How Xfinity playoffs are shaking up, with Zilisch giving SVG a scare before the pass with two to go.
• Cup standings drama—Byron’s DNF opens the door for Elliott while road-ringers rise.
• And, a quick look at Sonoma’s Wine Country showdown—SVG’s form and who’s ready to challenge.

Atlanta was wild this weekend. Joey Logano grabbed the Busch Light Pole Award with a blazing 30.979-second lap at 178.96 mph, marking his third career pole at Atlanta—but that wasn’t the headline.

Chase Elliott stole the show in the Quaker State 400, leading 41 laps and edging out Brad Keselowski by just 0.168 seconds to score his first win of the 2025 season and the 20th of his Cup career. It was an intense race with 46 lead changes among 13 drivers, 10 cautions for 68 laps, and an average speed of 111.79 mph.

That win snapped a 44-race winless streak for Elliott and made a big splash in the playoff picture—he now has five playoff points and sits fifth in the standings, just 37 points behind William Byron. And it’s not like he came out of nowhere—Elliott had already put up 13 top-5s and finished top-20 in all 17 races leading into Atlanta. This just solidified his status as a real threat.

We also hit the latest in the Truck and Xfinity Series, highlight some rising stars and first-time winners, and break down how celebrity ownership and ongoing charter talks are shaping the sport.

To wrap it all up, we look ahead to the Chicago Street Course—its unique layout, the chaos weather could bring, and a few predictions as the playoff pressure continues to rise.
