👋 Hey Motorheads,

We don't know about you, but the Lucky Dog surely needed a couple of days to stop thinking about the wild finish at Richmond. And the moment we finally got over Austin Dillon's shady on-track antics, NASCAR came down on RCR with their swift hammer of justice, which opened a whole new can of worms.

But before NASCAR penalized the #3 team, a lot happened. And by that, we mean a lot of big names in the sport, including Dale Earnhardt Jr, give their views on the murky race finish. Taking to Dillon on his podcast, Junior didn't hesitate to put across his unfiltered thoughts. And while he was at it, he even bashed the absurd comparison that was going around between his dad and Austin Dillon.

As we talk a little more about Dillon's actions and their consequences, we'll also look into the feud between Chase Elliott and Martin Truex Jr, which got completely overshadowed by the RCR drama.

So let's dive in!
