2026 is starting off with a bang as NASCAR announced it's new championship format ahead of the racing season. Our resident NASCAR reporters Jeff Gluck and Jordan Bianchi were live on the scene as a press conference was held featuring Dale Earnhardt Jr., Mark Martin, Steve O'Donnell and others to introduce a ten-race Chase for the Championship-style points format. The guys react to the news and welcome Mark Martin onto the show to talk about how this change came to be and what fans can look forward this year.
