  Arch Madness

  Sep 13, 20261h 10m

  The streak is over and the Chase for the championship is on! Kyle Larson's 51-race winless streak came to an end at World Wide Technology Raceway, and he also catapulted his way into the championship conversation, jumping up to second in points. Motorsports reporters Jeff Gluck and Jordan Bianchi were on the case in St. Louis, and they took to the airwaves after the race to chat about the attrition filled day that plagued nearly every Chase contender and what it means for the points battle heading to Bristol.

  Does Spire Care?

  Sep 10, 20261h 3m

  The (Christopher) Bell may have sounded at Darlington, but the story was once again the Hurricane. Motorsports reporter Jeff Gluck is back with a new edition of the Gluckcast, where he dives in head first to the latest Carson Hocevar drama, brought on by his on-track contact with Brad Keselowski. He sets out to debunk the latest narrative that "Spire Motorsports doesn't care" about Carson's behavior, and who better to chat with than team owner Jeff Dickerson. The interview covers Jeff's reaction to Carson's aggressive driving and response, as well as how the team deals with the drama internally. Jeff also sits down with fellow reporter Chris Gollon who got this week's clip that shook the world, Brad Keselowski's post race interview where he said "Carson's day is coming and it's coming hard".
