Happy Hour: The Best NASCAR Playoff Race Ever?

On this Halloween edition of Frontstretch Happy Hour, hosts Trey Lyle, Dalton Hopkins, and Michael Massie are joined by host of Above The Yellow Line and reporter for Racing America Taylor Kitchen.

The quartet discuss whether or not the NASCAR Cup Series race at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Sunday (Oct. 27) was the best playoff race ever. They each throw in which races they consider contenders for that title.

In honor of the Dale Earnhardt Jr./Budweiser merchandise selling over six figures, the hosts each show off their favorites from their diecast collections.
