Author: FOX Sports February 24, 2026 Duration: 57:54
Kevin Harvick, Kaitlyn Vincie, and Mamba Smith break down a chaotic Atlanta Motor Speedway weekend on this episode of Kevin Harvick’s Happy Hour, starting with Tyler Reddick’s incredible comeback victory that makes him the first driver since 2009 to win the season’s first two NASCAR Cup Series races. The crew analyzes how Reddick and 23XI Racing backed up their Daytona 500 statement, Michael Jordan’s presence and pride at the track, Bubba Wallace’s strong points day, and Carson Hocevar’s aggressive overtime drive, while also diving into major incidents involving Kyle Larson, Kyle Busch, Austin Cindric, Denny Hamlin, and others in a caution-filled final stage. They examine Trackhouse Racing’s impressive pace, pit strategy decisions, and what Atlanta revealed about the new points format before shifting to the breaking news of Joe Gibbs Racing filing a federal lawsuit against former competition director Chris Gabehart and what that could mean competitively across the garage.
