Episode 72: Pocono – Eating My Words
This week on Checkers, Wreckers and What the Heckers, the guys return from Pocono with plenty to discuss—and a few predictions they'd like to take back.
Chad, Rick, and Chris break down all the action from the Tricky Triangle, including Denny Hamlin adding another victory to his impressive Pocono résumé, the biggest surprises of the weekend, and the moments that left fans scratching their heads. Along the way, the hosts revisit some pre-race opinions that didn't exactly survive the weekend, leading to this week's theme: Eating My Words.
In Three Wide, the crew discusses Jesse Love officially being named the future driver of the legendary Wood Brothers Racing No. 21 Ford and what the pairing could mean for both sides moving forward. They also examine TNT's addition of seven-time NASCAR Cup Series Champion Jimmie Johnson to its In-Season Challenge coverage alongside longtime friend Marty Smith and what that means for NASCAR broadcasts going forward.
Plus, it's another round of Checkers, Wreckers and What the Heckers as the guys hand out praise, criticism, and confusion from both the O'Reilly Series and Cup Series weekends. Then it's time to Call Your Shot as the hosts make their picks for NASCAR's upcoming trip to San Diego and debate who has the best chance to find victory lane.
Who impressed? Who disappointed? And whose predictions ended up looking the worst after Pocono?
