  • Xfinity 500 | Martinsville | Mash The Gas Podcast
    Nov 5 2024

    Welcome back to another episode of Mash the Gas, your go-to podcast for everything NASCAR Cup Series racing! In this action-packed episode, we're breaking down the Xfinity 500 at Martinsville Speedway, the high-stakes cutoff race that set the stage for the NASCAR championship. Ryan Blaney managed to pull off another Martinsville miracle, punching his ticket to Phoenix for a second consecutive year. Now, with the final four set—Blaney, Joey Logano, Tyler Reddick, and William Byron—there’s plenty to discuss!

    Was there controversy at the end of the race? Did Chevrolets intentionally hold up the field to help Byron advance? Plus, Christopher Bell made waves with a controversial "hail melon" move, but was it fair play, especially after NASCAR banned the maneuver following Ross Chastain's infamous 2022 move?

    Tune in for Jeff and Kevin's deep dive into all the numbers, strategy, and drama as we gear up for the NASCAR Cup Series Championship in Phoenix. Don’t miss it!
