Inside The Garage: Where There's Beef, There's Fire In Cup Series

Drama’s heating up in the NASCAR garage — officials held private hauler meetings after recent retaliations, but drivers are publicly confused about inconsistent penalties.
Rivalries to watch: Shane van Gisbergen vs. Austin Hill and Zane Smith vs. Carson Hocevar remain tense and could produce some popcorn moments.
Lighter/feel‑good notes: Ryan Blaney won a rain‑delayed, late‑night Atlanta race (and cracked a funny postrace line), and a public memorial for Kyle Busch is set for Oct. 9 at Charlotte.
