114 - Kansas

Atop The Pit Box ·

2026/04/24

We're a little late getting this one out — apologies for the delay — but Josh and Norton are back to recap what turned out to be a two-part Kansas recording after some brutal connection issues forced them to restart mid-episode.

Josh makes him the Fantasy Winner while Norton gives the nod to

Atop The Pit Box ·

2026/03/24

Josh and Justin recap a solid-but-not-spectacular Darlington race — they compare it to a "6 or 7 out of 10" and debate whether consistent good racing is better than the boom-bust cycle of duds and classics. On the fantasy side, Brad Keselowski steals the show as the clear Fantasy Winner, with two stage wins and a P2 finish pushing him to 4th in the driver standings — all with a broken femur. Tyler Reddick wins for the fourth time and is somehow sitting at negative fantasy points on the
