The Teardown

Texas Motor Speedway kept us on our heels all weekend. After all the calamity that saw Chase Elliott capitalize and bring home his second win of the season, motorsports reporters Jeff Gluck and Jordan Bianchi took to the airwaves LIVE to unpack the action and storylines.

Denny Hamlin captured his 61st NASCAR Cup Series victory in Las Vegas, but the big story of the week was Daniel Suarez and Ross Chastain's confrontational spillover on pit road. Motorsports reporter Jeff Gluck dove into the story with both feet, interviewing Daniel on SiriuxSM and then inviting Ricky Stenhouse Jr., the honorary last driver to throw a punch and pay for it, to the Gluckcast to discuss the topic at large. Jeff also chats with Justin Allgaier on the heels of the news that Alex Bowman will be missing the next three races due to lingering affects of vertigo. Justin has been tabbed as the substitute for the 48, and will be juggling getting the car back into contention along with his day job, driving the JR Motorsports number-7 and leading the O'Reilly Series points.

As NASCAR moves on from Phoenix to Las Vegas, motorsports reporter Jeff Gluck sits down with two drivers who find themselves at opposite ends of the new points format: Chase Briscoe and Shane Van Gisbergen. They both discuss how their teams are strategizing for the new format, including having an average point total goal for each week to help keep them above the Chase cut-off line. Jeff also chats with reporter Bob Pockrass to learn more about the upcoming IndyCar Series events in Arlington and Washington D.C.

Motorsports has always thrived off of the personalities of its competitors. On this episode of the Gluckcast, motorsports journalist Jeff Gluck takes a peek under the helmet and helps paint a picture of some of the most compelling driver-related stories in the sport today. On the heels of a grueling afternoon at COTA that saw him pass out from heat exhaustion, AJ Allmendinger chats with Jeff about his grit and fortitude, and not wanting to give up despite a cool shirt failure during the race. Ty Dillon joins the show to help listeners understand why Richard Childress Racing is taking a chance on the unproven talent of Cleetus McFarland. IndyCar driver and personality Conor Daly calls in to chat about the star power of Pato O'Ward and how it's helping the series rise to new popularity on an international scale. Finally, legendary film director John Dahl joins the show to talk about the importance of the NASCAR Full Speed series and how it helps to humanize drivers to race fans and viewers.

Atlanta this past weekend was exhilarating, and Jeff Gluck is here to put a bow on it. He sits down with the major news makers of the week, including Carson Hocevar who found himself in the headlines again despite coming up short in the Cup race and Rajah Caruth, who is quietly putting together an excellent O'Reilly Series season. Jeff also chats with young phenom Brent Crews ahead of his O'Reilly Series debut and the man who makes the exciting calls for the series, commentator Adam Alexander. Plus, Jeff reacts to the NASCAR All-Star race format and looks ahead to COTA and St. Pete.

The Gluckcast is officially here! Longtime motorsports journalist Jeff Gluck debuts his new mid-week talk show, which will cover the latest storylines and opinions as well as interviews with current newsmakers in the industry. In the first episode, Jeff ties up loose ends from Daytona, chatting with Dale Earnhardt Jr. about his latest viral video clip and debating Freddie Kraft about Cleetus McFarland's NASCAR Truck debut. He also catches up with Riley Herbst and unpacks the chaotic finish of the Great American Race. Finally, Jeff sits down with NASCAR Race Director Tim Bermann to discuss the consistency in the calls throughout the Daytona weekend and how the booth held the yellows to allow the races to play out.

Our resident NASCAR reporters Jeff Gluck and Jordan Bianchi were back at NASCAR media day to do the unthinkable: interview the entire Cup garage in one sitting. After nearly seven straight hours of interviews, we're bringing your our favorite moments of the day including Erik Jones hunting for mountain lions, Ryan Blaney's llama and Joey Logano's new look.

Through a massive snow storm and an unexpected burst of sleet, NASCAR was finally able to complete the Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium. Our resident NASCAR reporters Jeff Gluck and Jordan Bianchi were on the scene in Winston Salem, North Carolina, and they reported for another edition of the Teardown to unpack the action and debate the future of the event.
