On this week’s episode of the Happy Hour podcast, Trey Lyle, Michael Massie and Dalton Hopkins are joined by Jayski.com’s Dustin Albino to talk about the wild NASCAR Xfinity Series finish at Road America.

Plus, they give their reactions to the Xfinity Series’ broadcast deal with the CW starting in 2025 and give a breakdown of all the 2024 Silly Season rumors.
