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

My name is Jeff Buck, and I'm along with my co-worker, Jordan Bianchi.

We are motorsports writers here at the athletic, and we are back together, at least virtually,

because last week we had two separate podcasts.

We split up to talk about the Indy 500 and the Coke Coal 600.

But Jordan, we are back together again

and we've watched the Sonoma race how you doing I'm doing great it is wonderful to be reunited

with you it is always great to see your smiling face virtually oh okay well I don't know about

that uh I don't know to take that seriously or not.

Never know with you.

But I am happy to be smiling to talk about the Sonoma race because I think there's a,

it was interesting today.

You know, I think there's some certain races where you could have a car dominate,

sort of like the Coke 600 last week, where you're like, oh,

geez, you know, this, I, this isn't such a great race. But today you had a car dominate. And I

thought that it was actually entertaining because the, he was being repeatedly challenged over

and over again. And Kyle Larson had to, you know, he, oh, he's restarting 21st.

Wow, look at him drive up through the field.

That's, to me, that's interesting, you know.

Or look, he's going to have to hold off these late race restarts over and over again.

That's interesting.

So I thought that we saw somebody be challenged.
