The NASCAR Cup Series race in Mexico City delivered surprises on track and stirred up controversy off it. Shane van Gisbergen dominated the event, but his place in the playoffs has reignited long-standing frustrations with NASCAR’s “win and you’re in” format. Meanwhile, Chase Elliott is adding another Xfinity start to his schedule as speculation swirls around his long-term pairing with Alan Gustafson. Power rankings also got a shake-up as some familiar names slide while others surge — and yes, Bubba’s back in the top 10.
This week’s episode of Out of the Groove digs into all the tension, trends, and turning points in the NASCAR garage. From throwback driver-crew chief duos to a global star racing legends cars 24 hours after a Cup win, the sport is anything but quiet right now. But the big question is whether the rules reward the right drivers? Let us know in the comments what you think of SVG’s playoff spot and who’s got real title potential as we head toward the dog days of summer.
