This week on Mash the Gas, Jeff and Kevin go old-school duo as NASCARSky sits out due to technical issues. The guys break down all the action from the Quaker State 400 under the lights at EchoPark Speedway, where Chase Elliott thrilled the hometown crowd with his first win of the year — and second career victory at Atlanta.

It wasn’t all smooth sailing though — the Big One struck early, wiping out key contenders and blowing up plenty of mid-season brackets.

🔥 In this episode:

• Elliott’s big night in front of the home fans
• Major wrecks shake up the playoff picture
• State of speedway racing: is the pack racing era still good for the sport?
• Is Chicago's street race on the chopping block? Rumors swirl about a San Diego swap in 2026
• Just 4 playoff spots remain — could we see more than 16 winners?
• Fantasy picks, bold predictions, and your weekly NASCAR fix

Strap in — it’s another fast-paced ride with Mash the Gas!
