After a chaotic Cook Out Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway, Erik Jones emerged a surprise winner of the NASCAR Cup Series’ 2022 playoff opener.
Frontstretch’s Adam Cheek and Jared Haas discuss everything that went down in South Carolina on Sunday night (Sept. 4), from Jones’ win and the potential for other playoff spoilers to what it means for Petty GMS Motorsports as the team heads into 2023. The duo also break down the multitude of issues that postseason drivers faced, from Kevin Harvick‘s fire to Kyle Busch‘s blown engine, and how that bodes for NASCAR in the wake of the Lady in Black.
