All right, everybody, welcome back to another edition of The Teardown.

My name is Jeff Buck, and'm along with my co-worker

Jordan Yankee. We are writers for the athletic. And this is the first of our off-season episodes.

We're going to be trying to come to you regularly in the off-season and make sure to keep you

company. I know a lot of the other NASCAR podcasts are going on a hiatus.

Not as much to talk about understandable, but we feel like we can come up with some content today

and through this offseason to keep things going. So we'll try to do that. And the topic for

today's episode, our first one since last week's episode was Steve O'Donnell, which was

really exciting to have him on after the championship race. We're going to do the five best races of

the season. Now, Jordan and I each made our picks. We have not discussed our picks with each

other, not the races or the order of them or anything like that.

And we also picked our worst race of the season, our single worst race.

And so we'll talk about that as well.

But first of all, let's welcome in Jordan Bianchi.

Jordan, how are you doing?

I'm doing well.

It kind of dawned on me this morning.

We don't have a race this weekend, which just feels very weird.

I can't believe the season is over.

I know.

It's really, it really is odd because I believe we did an episode at least once a week,

every single week, all season, including all of the pro-racing, pro-Iracing invitational series or whatever it was called during that whole hiatus, we kept up the episodes.
