• After weeks of debate and discussion, Kyle Larson has finally gotten his waiver, and NASCAR didn’t make a decision that would put a significant asterix placed next to the 2024 champion. Do you think this rule will be changed next off-season?
• Martin Truex Jr has been flirting with retirement for years now, and just like years prior, we have the same discussion; what if Martin Truex Jr retires?

• It’s almost common to see two cars that have the same exact sponsor in at least a few NASCAR races a year, and oftentimes this year, the driver that had the same exact sponsor as Martin Truex Jr was Noah Gragson, and he is currently looking for a new job. Do you think Noah Gregson could be the driver for the 19-car?
