NASCAR Will Get to Live Pit Stop in The Rain, Just Be Patient

Dale Jr. is back, and there’s plenty to unpack after a badass race at New Hampshire. Dale and TJ break down NASCAR’s continued experiment with rain tires, whether the sport is ready for live pit stops in the rain, and why safety has to come before strategy.

Plus, Dale weighs in on Carson Hocevar and Connor Zilisch, Josh Berry and Bubba Wallace’s on-track battle, Noah Gragson’s recent turnaround, and whether NASCAR should bring back the iconic yellow rookie stripes.

The crew also digs into Connor Zilisch’s future with Hendrick Motorsports, Austin Hill’s move to Richard Childress Racing, and what the driver shuffle means for the rest of the NASCAR field.

Then, Dale gets some big news from Lee Pulliam, who reveals his opportunity to run full-time in the O’Reilly Series in 2027 after years of grinding his way back toward the driver’s seat.
