There are two races left in the NASCAR season, but time may be running out for championship competitors as Kyle Larson has taken a huge points lead after his upset victory at Talladega. Motorsports reporter Jeff Gluck is back with a new episode of the Gluckcast that looks into the points scenarios heading into Martinsville. He sits down with Larson's spotter Tyler Monn to discuss their heroic drive to the front in the last corner to capture the Talladega victory and the controversial double yellow line rule. Jeff also chats with another big winner from Talladega, Sammy Smith who captured both the Truck and O'Reilly Series races. Finally, Jeff takes a look at another major points championship that might be decided early, the Formula One World Championship, as he talks with his co-writer from the Athletic Madeline Coleman to get the scoop.
