The news of the week is that NASCAR is considering using the current O'Reilly Auto Parts Series as a series to feature an EV CUV series. While talks are very preliminary, it got a lot of press because of the drastic changes that would be made.

We discuss that, plus the 'feud' between Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin. Who is in the right, who is in the wrong?

Also, has the racing changed with the new championship format?

Finally we talk about Talladega & the fuel savings. Will changing the stage lengths work?

On this episode of Talking in Circles we dive into the NASCAR Hall of Fame debate. Should the O'Reilly Auto Parts & Truck Series drivers be in the NASCAR Hall of Fame? Should there be a different process for those drivers?

We also look at the current nominees for the NASCAR Hall of Fame and give our picks on who should make the Hall this year, in addition to who just missed the cut in our eyes.

Then we talk about the safety of the Gen7 car and Daniel Dye being reinstated by NASCAR but not returning to Kaulig Racing or RAM.

We also dove into the Stage Break debate and the interesting teams missing from the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts race from Rockingham this weekend. Is this a bad sign and a sign of things to come?

Tyler Reddick wins again at Darlington Raceway, his 4th win in 6 races in 2026. It's been an impressive run. We break down the entire weekend from Darlington, including folks who ran really well and we talk about the drivers and teams that struggled at the track too tough to tame.

We also discuss Fox pretty much botching Alumni weekend and how poor their coverage has been the last couple of years in addition to whether or not the race was over hyped.

We also play a game in which we give one word for a certain drivers point standing. One driver got the word "Fireable" tied to his point position.
