Welcome back to another episode of Mash the Gas! NASCARSky, Kevin, and Jeff are here to break down all the action from the Straight Talk Wireless 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway. It was a relief that the race went off as planned despite the nearby wildfires, but once the green flag dropped, it was game on.

We dive into Ryan Blaney’s heartbreak, blowing his second motor of the season after dominating with 124 laps led. Alex Bowman’s costly mistake let teammate Kyle Larson slip by for his first Cup Series win of 2025. We also analyze the overall race product, discuss more pit road issues, and debate Fox Sports’ ongoing broadcast struggles across NASCAR and IndyCar.

Looking ahead, we preview the upcoming Cookout 400 at Martinsville Speedway, famous for its $2 concession stand hot dogs. NASCAR is making key changes to the short track package, including a softer left-side tire—will it finally improve the racing? We’ve got all the insider analysis and predictions on who’s going to be fast this weekend.
