Jake Garcia won the UNOH 250 at Bristol for his first NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series victory, in his 94th start, and not one of the ten Chase drivers finished better than sixth.

Dylan "Mamba" Smith hosts a new panel for the second Truck Series show: Heather DeBeaux, Regan Smith, who drove the No. 25 Ram in the race, and Harrison Burton, joining from London. They work through Layne Riggs' loose wheel, Bayley Currey's second place in his first start of the year, the Chase standings with Riggs three points clear of Kaden Honeycutt, and what a first win does to a driver. Then the Kansas picks: Giovanni Ruggiero, Layne Riggs, Kaden Honeycutt and, once his feed came back, Christian Eckes.
