Dalton May be Back but Bristol Is Not

Trey Lyle

On this week’s Happy Hour, hosts Trey Lyle, Michael Massie and Dalton Hopkins are joined by SiriusXM NASCAR Radio’s Davey Segal to talk about the dud of a Bristol Night Race that happened on Saturday night (Sept. 21).

Why was the tire wear not as severe as it was in the spring? Is Goodyear totally at fault for this past weekend at Bristol, or is there a deeper underlying problem? The quartet discuss what went wrong.

The guys also dive into Martin Truex Jr.‘s and Ty Gibbs‘ early eliminations from the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs. Why has Truex struggled in his final full-time season after being one of the best in the series last year?

The NASCAR Xfinity Series begins its playoffs this coming weekend at Kansas Speedway. The gang each give their predictions on who in NXS will make the Championship 4 and who will be the champion.

The guys then take a deeper look at the trade between Justin Haley and Corey LaJoie. Who was the winner in the trade? What does it mean for both drivers’ futures?

In honor of that trade, the quartet rattle off what would be some fun hypothetical trades to see in NASCAR in the bonus segment.
