57 - Putting the Fun Back in NASCAR

Redhead Racing Radio

Fresh back from Phoenix Raceway, Andrew Kurland joins Jason Schultz to react to championship race weekend and the end of an unprecedented 2020 NASCAR season.

Andrew talks about his experience returning to a race track for the first time since March, why it was hard being there and how witnessing Phoenix's first time hosting the championship races felt different.

He and Jason explain why the weekend just didn't feel like it normally does with titles on the line and why they miss Homestead-Miami.

NASCAR crowned three champions under the age of 25 this season, in a significant step towards seeing the younger generation of racers start to emerge as superstars. Jason and Andrew debate the importance of seeing younger drivers start succeeding more and how the sport is handling its 'personality rebuild.'

Steve O'Donnell said NASCAR is trying to put the fun back in the sport. They react to that comment and share what they hope it means for racing moving forward.

Andrew talked to Jimmie Johnson on Sunday, hours before the last race of his full-time NASCAR career. He shares what they discussed and the end of the Jimmie Johnson era.

As the guys wrap their fourth season of podcasting together, they share their wishes for the 2021 NASCAR season.
