Checkers, Wreckers and What the Heckers is your weekly pit stop for all things NASCAR—hosted by country music artist, content creator, and die-hard NASCAR super-fan Chad Bearden; Haas Factory Team VIP Coordinator (and owner of the best hair in NASCAR) Rick Kojan; and the fastest man in North Carolina, Hendrick Motorsports’ own “Demon Deacon” Chris Justice. From photo finishes to full-blown wrecks, they break down the best, worst, and most shocking moments from each week on the track with humor, passion, and behind-the-scenes insight you won’t find anywhere else. Buckle up.
It all comes down to one final weekend in the desert! The guys break down championship weekend from Phoenix, including the biggest storylines from the Truck, Xfinity, and Cup finales. Chad, Rick, and Chris debate NASCAR’s new rules allowing Cup drivers to run more lower-series races, and discuss whether a 14% drop in viewership should have the sport concerned.
Then it’s time for Checkers, Wreckers & Heckers—as each host hands out their end-of-season awards across all three series—and the always-chaotic Call Your Shot, where the crew makes their “Way Too Early” picks for the 2026 champions.
