NASCAR’s new podcast takes you inside the sport like never before. Mike Forde, Managing Director Racing Communication, Amanda Ellis, Sr. Director Racing Communications & Nate Ryan, NASCAR.com Journalist offer fans a closer look at what happens behind the scenes, from rule changes to officiating decisions, logistics, and broadcasting. The goal is to provide fans with insights into the organizational side of sport and highlight the often unseen but crucial aspects that make race weekends possible. We also will have interviews with insiders, executives, journalists, and more.
Hot off the press is the news that Austin Hill will serve a one-race suspension for the upcoming race in Iowa. Mike and Amanda explain how the decision was made to give out the suspension, and how the control tower determined to park Hill for five laps during the race. Nate asks Mike to explain how the random selection works for inspection each week, along with any changes surrounding the current playoff format heading into the 2026 season.
