The Christopher Bell Curve

from Podracing

In this week’s Podracing, Tyler Lauletta and I break down Chase Briscoe’s thrilling Talladega win to clinch a spot in the Championship 4 — and what it means for the “Briscoe Truthers” (aka us) who’ve been shouting his name for months. We marvel at a surprisingly clean superspeedway finish, shout out some model-backed longshots who delivered big (Todd Gilliland! Cole Custer! Zane Smith!), and dissect Kyle Larson’s surprising out-of-gas moment at the end. Then we preview the playoff picture heading into Martinsville — where Christopher Bell and Larson are safe, but only if no one below the cutline wins — and why the final Round of 8 spot might hinge on stage points, tiebreakers and the most literal (Christopher) Bell Curve of all. Finally, we make our betting and one-and-done picks for the Paperclip, where our “save the stars” strategy has left us with too many options and not enough races left to use them in.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
