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.

NASCAR Cup Series clashed at Bowman Stadium for the first time since 1971, which gave us some of what we expected and some stuff we’ve missed. Catch up on everything with Eric Estepp on Out Of The Groove. 

  • On Sunday night, we had all of the aspects of short track racing we missed in the Gen Seven era: cars sliding around, bump and runs, in even an outside groove forming. Did the on-track product of The Clash make you hopeful for the short track racing of 2025?
  • Last night, we were treated to another classic battle between Chase Elliott and Denny Hamlin. In the first half, Chase Elliot did not have the long-run speed to compete with Denny Hamlin, but whatever changes or adjustments were made in the break helped Elliot have the speed to beat Denny Hamlin. Do you enjoy watching races where the crew chief has such an impact?
  • This race scored a decent 85 on the Groovy Gauge this week, an exceptional score for the expectations coming into this weekend. What did you think of the race? What score would you give it?
