Daytona CHAOS: Blaney Wins a Thriller, Playoffs Locked & Is Connor Zilisch the Next Jeff Gordon?

Kevin Harvick, Kaitlyn Vincie, and Mamba Smith break down all the action from an unforgettable Daytona weekend, where Ryan Blaney scored a thrilling win that shook up the NASCAR Playoff picture. The crew discusses how Alex Bowman and Tyler Reddick barely made the cut, while Brad Keselowski and Kyle Busch fell short of the postseason. They also talk about rising star Connor Zilisch, who will race full-time in the NASCAR Cup Series next year, and debate just how good he can be at the sport’s highest level. Then, the focus shifts to the Playoffs, starting with the Round of 16 at Darlington, as Kevin explains what makes the track such a challenge and who could make an early statement. Mamba shares this week’s best fan reactions in Social Sips, and the show wraps up in Last Call with Blaney’s burnout grades and Darlington race predictions.
