In today’s episode, we’re diving into Brad Keselowski’s tease about exciting RFK Racing announcements, the potential changes to NASCAR’s playoff format, and a deep dive into the sport’s growing TV ratings. As the offseason kicks off, we’re in for some big moves and discussions. So, whether you’re a diehard NASCAR fan or just keeping up with the latest, stick around as we break down everything you need to know!

  • Keselowski hinted at major announcements coming soon from RFK Racing. Ryan Preece is expected to join as a driver, potentially in a third car, and Kroger could become a key sponsor. Speculation also surrounds RFK acquiring a third charter. What are your thoughts on Ryan Preece joining RFK Racing? Can he elevate the team?
  • NASCAR officials have acknowledged the possibility of tweaking the playoff format, with open discussions about making changes. Fans have expressed concerns about the current system, especially after Joey Logano’s championship win, and NASCAR executives have shown they are open to adjustments. Do you think NASCAR should change the playoff format? What tweaks would you suggest to improve it?
  • Despite weather disruptions, NASCAR’s TV ratings have shown a small increase, with the 2024 season averaging a slight uptick in viewers. However, changes in media distribution (with Amazon Prime and TNT joining the broadcast next year) could impact accessibility and viewership. With new broadcast changes coming in 2025, how do you think streaming and cable will affect the NASCAR fan experience?
