We are headed to the penultimate race of the season and many of the favorites have not yet locked themselves in to the final round of the playoffs.

We've got a show for you today where we talk about all things that happened in Vegas (troubles for many playoff contenders, poor pit stop performances, etc.), as well as look forward to the upcoming race at Homestead.

A devastated Evan and an elated Korey try to put on a show with a missing Donnie.

Evan and Korey discuss all things Talladega and share their picks for Charlotte. As the season winds down, the drama picks up!

Welcome to your favourite weekly NASCAR podcast, Before the Green.

This weeks topics:

• Charters, charters, charters. It was a topic that wasn’t supposed to spill over into the playoffs, but here we are.

• Denny Hamlin’s poor result: Was it poor strategy or a slow car?

• Some drivers had a great day in Atlanta, other drivers struggled for the entirety of the race. Can those drivers who made gains maintain them?

• Team Penske made a huge statement, but do they think they can keep it up?

And, as always:

• The hosts make their picks for the upcoming race

Welcome to your favourite weekly NASCAR podcast, Before the Green.

This week, the guys have quite a few topics to discuss:

• Chase Briscoe's win in the Southern 500 is a significant achievement, but did it raise expectations for his future performance in better equipment.

• The regular season championship is won by Tyler Reddick, but does the fact Kyle Larson was only one point behind after missing a race water it down a bit?

• There is a difference of opinion on whether Kyle Busch can still win a race in the playoffs, with one host believing he can’t get it done.

• The debate over the playoff system continues, with Donnie criticizing Kyle Petty for dismissing Chris Buescher's comments about the system.

• The guys discuss the pros and cons of having Darlington as a cutoff race instead of Daytona, with some preferring Darlington for its crown jewel status and intense racing.

• The inclusion of certain drivers in the playoffs can be seen as a storyline, but it may not necessarily be exciting for fans

• There is a balance to be found between drama and pure racing in NASCAR, but it seems that NASCAR is leaning towards the drama

And, as always: The hosts make their picks for the upcoming race
