Josh and Sam are back to break down everything from the racing weekend starting with Joey Logano's win in the opening race of the NASCAR playoffs, why Penske seems to work at the highest level once the playoffs start, issues for other playoff drivers, and more. Next we discuss if Kimi Antonelli is ready for Mercedes, before breaking down the CEO of IndyCar's comments about the sports past, a possible international series, and a new street circuit. Finally we make our predictions for F1 at Baku, NASCAR at Watkins Glen, and IndyCar's finale at Nashville. Thanks for listening!

Josh and Sam are back together for the first time in two weeks to discuss an action packed weekend of racing! First we discuss Charles Leclerc's home win for Ferrari at Monza, along with McLaren's shocking team orders and strategy decisions that could cost them a championship, George Russell's recent struggles, and our personal podiums. Next we break down Chase Briscoe's win at the Southern 500, Kyle Busch's heartbreaking two weeks, our picks for the first round of the NASCAR Playoffs, and which drivers we were shocked to see both in and out of the playoffs. Finally, we discuss Pato O' Ward and Scott McLaughlin's wins in IndyCar's return to the Milwaukee Mile, if Will Power cost himself a championship in Milwaukee, and how Alex Palou separates himself from the rest of the IndyCar grid. Thanks for listening!

It's just Sam this week at The Final Lap, but Josh and I will be reunited soon. In the meantime, I discuss Lando Norris and McLaren's statement win in Max Verstappen's backyard, Harrison Burton's emotional and shocking win at Daytona, and Will Power's dominance in Portland.
