The crew is back to break down all of the action from the Würth 400 at Texas Motor Speedway—and it delivered in a big way. Chase Elliott grabs his second win of the season, holding off a hard-charging Denny Hamlin in front of the first Texas sellout crowd in over 15 years.

That packed house sparks a real debate: does Texas deserve a second race again? And if so… does a track like Kansas lose one with attendance concerns? The crew digs into it.

It wasn’t just the finish—this race was chaos from start to finish. Pit road turned into a war zone, highlighted by Joey Logano slamming into the back of Cole Custer, ending his day early. Trouble didn’t stop there—cars were spinning everywhere, especially off Turn 4. Todd Gilliland gets loose and collects race leader Christopher Bell, while Kyle Larson backs it into the fence solo in Turn 2.

Texas proved once again it’s one of the toughest tracks to tame—and Elliott showed up with elite speed when it mattered most.

The crew also tackles the controversy: was Kyle Busch’s retaliation on John Hunter Nemechek penalty-worthy? You know we’ve got takes.
