A new episode of "Hauler Talk" has just dropped. A few takeaways: -- NASCAR is saying that to get penalized for going below the double yellow line, a car must have the whole tire down there AND improve the position AND not be forced down there. So three things. -- In Kyle Larson's case, he didn't go below the yellow line (was on it), so it's a moot point. -- Austin Hill would likely have been black-flagged if he hadn't already finished as the last car on the lead lap. He was not forced below the line by Larson in Turn 2, NASCAR felt; Hill went down there himself AND improved his position. But they didn't call anything because the penalty would have put him right where he was. -- Ross Chastain and Carson Hocevar went below the line but were not penalized because they were forced below the line by Todd Gilliland, NASCAR felt. -- NASCAR looked at penalizing Gilliland but it was inconclusive whether he forced them down there on purpose, so they didn't make a call (but they could have and it was close, apparently).

Millions of us heard Bubba say what he said bc NBC played his radio. Freddie sounds silly denying it. Interesting his co-hosts who I assume watched the race didn’t correct him 🤷‍♀️

BREAKING: Paris, France, right now.

A WILD last lap at Talladega. Sammy Smith gets it done at the line for a NASCAR Truck Series victory!

.@USANetwork got a 0.72 rating and 1.294 million viewers for Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series Freeway Insurance 500 @PhoenixRaceway. ➡️ There's no direct comp to last year since Phoenix was the 2025 championship, but the 33rd points race last year (Vegas) got a 0.84 + 1.7 million.

Do you think cutting the dogleg should be off limits at PHX? #NASCAR
