All right, everybody. Welcome back to another edition of the Teardown. My name is Jeff

Gluck, and I'm along with my co-worker Jordan Bianchi. We are motorsports writers for the athletic, and we've just been watching the motorsports

Christmas weekend, which is usually a Christmas day, but got extended this year.

And in fact, it's still going on as we speak, as the Xfinity race is in its second half.

As we were recording this, we didn't feel like waiting until that was over to record this will maybe be going long enough that the results

will be done by the end of this who knows but Jordan it's been a very long weekend we already did

myself and Nate Ryan did the Indy 500 version of this podcast because obviously

they were on different days this year.

So if you're interested in hearing about the Indy 500, that is in the tear down feed.

Just one episode back.

Check that out if you want.

This one is going to be all about the Coca-Cola 600.

You are there, Jordan.

How are you doing?

I'm well. That was a heck of a race.

That was a really good 600-mile race at Charlotte. And we've had two of them in a row now after a stretch where there was a lot of questions like, is this race necessary? Why is this this is so long

and excessive? Like this is back-to-back years where this race has delivered that

was pretty cool to see so this race was almost five hours long and yet i thought it was

way more watchable than some of the shorter five you know there's a then some six hundreds that aren't even you know four hours

there was one year i think maybe the one that uh true x dominated or something like that i can't

392 laps at a 400 yeah i mean that race i that could have been two hours and it still would have been less entertaining than this, five-hour race.

So there was a lot of cautions, obviously, 16 cautions, and a lot of lead changes, 31 lead changes, which was the same amount as last year.
