The trio is back to break down all the action from the FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan! Denny Hamlin led just five laps, but strategic fuel management — and a close call with his gas man on pit road — earned him the win. Hometown favorite Carson Hocevar was once again in contention until a heartbreaking left rear tire blowout ended his day late in the race.

With only 11 races left before the playoffs, we dive into the current standings and take a hard look at the four upcoming road courses that could shake things up. We also preview this weekend’s historic trip south of the border to the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico City. At 7,200 feet of elevation, we explore how altitude will impact fuel-to-air ratios, tire pressures, and driver endurance. Some crew members are already preparing in Aspen to acclimate.

Plus, we look ahead to the upcoming In-Season Challenge, deliver expert analysis, fantasy insights, and give you our official race picks. All that and more on this week’s Mash the Gas
