Undefeated Reddick STUNS NASCAR, Hocevar Feuds Grow & JGR Drops Legal Bombshell

The 2026 NASCAR season is already WILD — and we’re only getting started.

On this episode of The Final Lap Weekly, we break down Tyler Reddick’s unbelievable start to the season — driving for Michael Jordan and going UNDEFEATED in 2026 with back-to-back wins at Daytona AND Atlanta. Is this the beginning of a historic run?

Meanwhile, Carson Hocevar is making headlines… but not the good kind. Is he building a reputation as NASCAR’s newest villain? We discuss the on-track drama and why drivers aren’t exactly lining up to be his friend.

And it gets even bigger — Joe Gibbs Racing has filed a massive lawsuit against a former competition director. What does this mean for JGR, the garage, and the future of team politics?

Plus… the NASCAR All-Star Race format. We’re saying what everyone else is thinking — it’s ridiculous (and not in a good way). Does NASCAR need a total reset?

And of course, Rowdy Dragon is back with his Fantasy NASCAR picks for COTA (Circuit of the Americas) — the road course chaos is coming, and you’ll want these picks before setting your lineup.

NASCAR news, race recaps, hot takes, garage drama, and fantasy strategy — it’s all here.

Hosted by Kerry Murphey and Toby Christie.
