The Teardown

Did any of us see this coming after the way the regular season played out? After four races in the Chase, it is once again Kyle Larson in victory lane, extending his points lead over Denny Hamlin at Kansas. Not only that, but the Toyotas seem to have taken a step back in speed, allowing Hendrick Motorsports and Penske to close the gap. Our motorsports reporters Jeff Gluck and Jordan Bianchi were on the case in Kansas, and they took to the airwaves after the checkered flag flew to unpack Kyle Larson's dominant victory and give an updated look at the current points standings.
