Happy Hour: What We Wish Happened in NASCAR in 2024

On this week’s Happy Hour, hosts Trey Lyle, Michael Massie and Caleb Barnes are joined by Frontstretch‘s Anthony Damcott to talk about the things they wish had happened so far in the 2024 NASCAR season.

What if Kyle Larson had been able to complete the Memorial Day Weekend 1,100 miles? What if teams like Trackhouse Racing and Legacy Motor Club were as good this year as they were in 2022? What if there were more first-time winners across the three national series in NASCAR? What if Frankie Muniz got better opportunities in the NASCAR Xfinity and Craftsman Truck series.

The guy dive into how different the season could’ve been had any of those things happened in this special off-week edition of the podcast.
