https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-wvk6j-126259f

Phil and Josh return for E121 of the GSP to discuss all things motorsports and sports.  Phil leads off with hockey talk since the Colorado Avalanche hoisted the Stanley Cup for the first time in 21 years and is still taking it all in. 

Afterwards, the guys get into William Clyde Elliott II’s second win of 2022 at Nashville and all the other pertinent details from the event.  The Toyota’s dominated and Bubba Wallace’s pit crew screwed up again but a Hendrick Chevy ended up on top with the current overall points leader adding needed playoff points to his tally.  Phil and Josh also discuss the ridiculousness of a 5p start and how the race took over seven hours to complete due to lightning, rain and other issues.

They also cover Justin Allgaier’s win in XFinity and the continued domination by JR Motorsports in the series along with some of the other key topics as both series go to Road America this weekend.  The Roundup covers SRX at South Boston (last week) and Stafford (this week), IMSA at Watkins Glen for the Six Hours and Robbie Wickens returning to victory lane, MotoGP/Moto2 at Assen, NHRA in Norwalk, the Goodwood Festival of Speed, the 100th Pikes Peak Hill Climb, Formula E at Marrakesh and talk about the Gen 3 car and F2/F3/W Series returning at Silverstone. 

Phil and Josh preview the British Grand Prix for Formula 1, IndyCar at Mid-Ohio, and NASCAR Cup/XFinity at Road America for this Independence Day weekend before Josh’s Sim Segment and Show Close.
