On this week’s episode of Frontstretch Happy Hour, Tom Bowles fills in for Dalton Hopkins alongside regular hosts Bryan Nolen and Michael Massie, while Holly Cain, Senior Writer for the NASCAR Wire Service, joins as the guest.
This week’s show is all about remembering Kyle Busch, as the panel shares their favorite memories of the two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion. They also get into how the sport comes together in times of loss like this, and they try to figure where does NASCAR go from here.
