The #1 NASCAR content creator on YouTube, Eric Estepp hosts Out of the Groove, a daily talk show covering news and trending topics in the NASCAR fan community.

IndyCar just proved that fans will show up even when the championship is already decided, while NASCAR insists its playoff system is the only way to keep people watching. At the same time, Spire’s billionaire owner Dan Towriss has publicly called out NASCAR, questioning whether he can even trust the people running the sport. Add in leaked texts, secret contingency plans, and a looming trial that could change everything, and suddenly the whole industry feels like it’s about to crack wide open.

  • What did IndyCar’s finale reveal about the myth behind NASCAR’s playoff system?
  • Why is Spire’s deep-pocketed owner suddenly speaking out against NASCAR leadership?
  • What secret plan did NASCAR have ready if teams ever chose to boycott?
  • Could this case force NASCAR to settle before December, or will they risk total exposure?

The tension keeps rising, and this latest twist feels like a turning point. When powerful new investors start asking whether they can trust the sanctioning body, it’s not just bad optics — it’s a sign that the foundation itself might be shaking. The question now is whether NASCAR listens before it’s too late.
