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.

Austin Hill flips off fans, NASCAR says no penalty, and the debate explodes. The antitrust lawsuit still hasn’t been settled, and tensions are rising with the trial just weeks away. Meanwhile, Zane Smith finally finds some stability, and Brennan Poole stops by to talk Martinsville chaos, Groovy Hollow, and the Halloween spirit on and off track.

  • NASCAR decided not to fine Austin Hill for his post-race gesture toward fans, raising questions about consistency and image across major sports.
  • The long-running antitrust lawsuit between NASCAR and the teams remains unresolved, with heated statements and a December 1 trial date looming.
  • Front Row Motorsports gives Zane Smith a multi-year extension, but what happens if the team loses its charters in court?
  • Brennan Poole joins the show to discuss his Halloween-themed ride, Alpha Prime’s strong season, and what to expect from the Martinsville mayhem ahead.

This episode hits everything from legal drama to short-track chaos, from sour candy to real-world stakes. Austin Hill’s middle finger might have been harmless fun, but the ongoing lawsuit could change NASCAR’s structure forever. Plus, Poole’s insights remind us why Martinsville in October always delivers madness. Don’t miss this one – it’s got all the flavor of a Toxic Waste sour race week.
