It’s time to kick off the NASCAR Chase, and who better to get us ready than our resident NASCAR reporters Jeff Gluck and Jordan Bianchi. They sit down with each of the 16 Chase contenders ahead of this weekend’s Southern 500 and get the low down on each drivers’ feelings towards the new (old) format and what differing strategies they’ll follow over the next ten weeks. Listeners are in store to learn a lot, from how many points each driver is aiming to average to what tracks are considered the biggest wildcards. They’ll also get some off track information, such as what Austin Cindric thinks of Jordan’s pen, Ryan Blaney’s baby buggy report and which restaurant Daniel Suarez thinks has surprisingly good tres leches cake.
