Debating NASCAR's Playoffs with Steve Le...

Dirty Mo Media, SiriusXM
About this episode

Denny Hamlin and his co-host Jared Allen are joined by NBC’s Steve Letarte to recap the NASCAR Championship weekend. Before getting to the races, Denny talks about blowing a lead in golf against Michael Jordan. 

In the Xfinity Series, Justin Allgaier finally got the monkey off his back and won his first championship. But it wasn’t easy thanks to a crash in practice, a restart penalty, and a speeding penalty.

In the Cup Series, it was Joey Logano collecting his third championship. When it comes to the current Playoff format, the 22 team has written the book on how to succeed. The only car that could hang with Logano was his teammate Ryan Blaney, who ran out of laps to try and pass Logano.

Team Penske has won the last 3 championships and it has left HMS, JGR, and others wondering what they have to do to find speed at Phoenix.

The guys take a look at the current Playoff and discuss changes that could be made to make it better. Letarte gives out his ideal Playoff format.

Plus, what happened with the pace car on Sunday and NASCAR says goodbye to Martin Truex Jr. racing full-time. And, how did Denny get sued as a 11-year-old riding a bike?
