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

My name is Jeff Luck.

I'm along with Jordan Bianchi, who is at Talladega Super Speedway.

We are writers here at The Athletic.

And Jordan, I tell you what, I just to set the tone, I mean, look, if you're somebody who's listening to this and you're in a good mood and you don't want salty Jeff here to ruin it, maybe skip this episode because I have a headache.

I really do have a headache after what we saw at Talladega.

But first of all, how are you doing, Jordan?

How was the race there today?

It was an entertaining race, gave us lots of talk about.

It was a very typical Talladega playoff race, lots of wrecks, lots of playoff hopes dash,

lots of guys going into the final race of round two, basically in a must-win mode.

It was everything that you expect out of Tal'Daga and then some.

And I am just here with my feet up, ready for salty Jeff.

Look, we have to talk about how this race finished first.

We can talk about the rest of it.

But look, okay, here's what always sets me off more than anything.

I'm always like a rule follower, okay?

I like the rules.

If you tell me what the rules are and what the interpretation of those rules are,

that's how I want the rules to be enforced.

Not just in NASCAR, in life in general.

This is just like, I, I've sort of structured this way.
