And Then There Were Four

In this week’s Podracing, Tyler Lauletta and Neil Paine break down William Byron’s masterclass at Martinsville, where he put together one of the clutchest performances in playoff history to seal a Championship 4 spot — and send Ryan Blaney packing in the process. We also recap Christopher Bell’s quiet elimination, thanks in large part to Kyle Larson’s efficient drive into the final round. Then we preview the 2025 season finale at Phoenix, with case-for/case-against breakdowns on all four title contenders — Denny Hamlin, Chase Briscoe, Larson and Byron — and what makes each storyline compelling (or tragic) depending on what happens Sunday. Finally, we make our last betting and one-and-done picks of the year, with the championship on the line both for the drivers… and for us.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
