Short Tracks are Still Being Boring, and Zilisch Signs Really Early

Joey Logano is on a hot streak, but Short Tracks…not so much. We talk about another lackluster track-position race, discuss how many cars should REALLY be in the Chase, and debate Conor Zilisch signing over a year in advance with Hendrick. Plus – the Paint Scheme Preview and Picks for New Hampshire.

– Richmond Ratings – up…but from what?
– The Chase – are the top-16 already set?
– There should only be 10 teams in the Chase
– NASCAR News:
– Conor Zilisch signs over a year in advance with Hendrick – we talk about the positives and negatives

– Sponsor News
– New Hampshire – our Paint Scheme Preview and Picks
