Summary

After Tyler Reddick's fourth win through six races of the NASCAR Cup Series season, Motorsports reporter Jeff Gluck sits down to discuss the Good Race Poll results, race winners overcoming obstacles, and the Hall of Fame debate that has taken gripped the NASCAR media landscape over the last several days. Jeff welcomes NASCAR Cup Series driver Zane Smith onto the show and, despite issues with his webcam, discussed his season so far and the up-and-down nature of his career journey in stock car racing. With Martinsville headlining the weekend, short track ace Ryan Preece joined Jeff to discuss his success in the Next Gen car at the famous half-mile and a potential new nickname should he capture the victory. The talk of the O'Reilly Auto Parts Series garage has been Parker Retzlaff who joined the show to chat about the family he's found at Viking Motorsports and how he managed his career, including a stint in the Coca Cola iRacing Series. Plus, Gluck gives his thoughts on a recent tangle between four time Formula 1 champion Max Verstappen and a fellow reporter at the Japan GP.

The following is a production of the Gluckcast.

0:41.4

This is episode six.

0:42.6

We're coming off the first three real races of the season.

0:47.8

And, you know, there hasn't been like a ton of crazy, juicy storylines, but we've actually

0:53.2

seen some real racing. That's been a lot of fun.

0:57.2

You know, it could have been worse, by the way, if people, if there hadn't been significant

1:01.0

setbacks for probably the fastest car in each race. Phoenix, Ryan Blaney had to overcome two of his

1:07.2

pit crew's mistakes to drive back up through the field. Vegas, Denny Hamlin had to overcome a pit road speeding penalty to win.

1:14.0

Darlington, Tyler Redick had to overcome his electrical issue.

1:17.4

Arguably, the fastest car wins all three of those races, but they could have led far more

1:20.9

of the race than they did.

1:22.1

So I think for the good race poll to be 85, 62, 77, the last three weeks. It's reflective of the fan base being in a

1:31.7

pretty good mood overall. They are liking the point system. They like the softer tires. They like

1:37.0

the 750 package so far. But that might only go so far before people get cranky because it's time for some short tracks

1:45.9

and people have lots of expectations for the short tracks.

1:51.1

You know, you have Martinsville coming up and the Easter off week.

1:53.8

Well, Rockingham will be in business, but Easter off week for a cup, then Bristol.

1:58.1

And, you know, if you get to the two short tracks and they're deemed as, oh, the

2:01.4

fastest car just dominated and all that stuff, then the patients potentially could run out,

2:07.6

especially in, you know, the last couple weeks, the biggest storyline's been whether

2:11.2

Ross Chastain and Daniel Suarez are mad at each other. So you need something to happen on the track.

2:18.8

And I think we'll get it the next couple weeks for sure.
