On this week’s Garage Talk, we recap our iRacing Bristol Motor Speedway Multi-Class racing, Max Verstappen’s legendary drive in the rains of Brazil, and OEM controversy plus a wall ride at Martinsville!
iRacing Multi-Class Racing, F1 Brazil Rain, NASCAR Martinsville Drama
The Wednesday Night Dash season came to a close this week with our annual end-of-season multi-class fun race. Mini Stocks, Legends, and Tour Modifieds on the same track led to a lot of chaos, but a lot of fun! We discuss.
Next up with Formula 1, Max Verstappen had a drive for the ages in Sao Paulo with a double podium for Alpine?! Lance Stroll beaches himself after an accident on the formation lap. Has Lewis Hamilton mentally checked out from Mercedes?
Next, we move on to NASCAR and look at the mess of a finish at Martinsville. Chevy reps manipulating the outcome of the race having Chastain and Dillon blocking for William Byron? Bubba Wallace faking a problem so Christopher Bell could gain the necessary spots. A wall ride for Bell leading to a penalty? We try to break down what we can.
Finally, we give our predictions for the Championship 4 this weekend at Phoenix and D.J. shares his strategy to help his kid meet Kyle Larson this weekend.
