On this episode of Talking in Circles we dive into the NASCAR Hall of Fame debate. Should the O'Reilly Auto Parts & Truck Series drivers be in the NASCAR Hall of Fame? Should there be a different process for those drivers?

We also look at the current nominees for the NASCAR Hall of Fame and give our picks on who should make the Hall this year, in addition to who just missed the cut in our eyes.

Then we talk about the safety of the Gen7 car and Daniel Dye being reinstated by NASCAR but not returning to Kaulig Racing or RAM.

We also dove into the Stage Break debate and the interesting teams missing from the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts race from Rockingham this weekend. Is this a bad sign and a sign of things to come?

Tyler Reddick wins again at Darlington Raceway, his 4th win in 6 races in 2026. It's been an impressive run. We break down the entire weekend from Darlington, including folks who ran really well and we talk about the drivers and teams that struggled at the track too tough to tame.

We also discuss Fox pretty much botching Alumni weekend and how poor their coverage has been the last couple of years in addition to whether or not the race was over hyped.

We also play a game in which we give one word for a certain drivers point standing. One driver got the word "Fireable" tied to his point position.

Denny Hamlin won the Pennzoil 400 from Las Vegas Motor Speedway. I break down the entire event, looking at who had a good day and who really struggled on the first 1.5 mile track of the season.

Then I take a dive into the point standings where I look at who is in early trouble and who I expect to stay and or move up.

I also look back at the O'Reilly Auto Parts Series event from Vegas in which Kyle Larson found a way to get a victory.

Then we look at Daniel Dye's remarks that got him suspended from Kaulig Racing and look at the Alex Bowman situation including a scenario which could come to light if this situation continues through the summer.
