Fuel saving, cut line conversations, and Shane van Gisbergen putting on another road course masterclass. This week on Action Detrimental, the guys break down Ross Chastain running out of gas late, why Watkins Glen was still a solid points day, and how frustrating it can be to save fuel instead of driving all out. Plus, they dive into NASCAR’s road course coverage issues and why fans at home are missing too much of the action during some of the biggest moments of the race. They also debate whether a road course belongs in the playoffs, if anyone can eventually challenge SVG on these tracks, and why Connor Zilisch might be the next guy up. Add in the Ryan Preece penalty controversy, Kaden Honeycutt’s first Truck Series win, and a look ahead to All-Star Weekend, and there is plenty to unpack in this one. Let us know in the comments if you think NASCAR should keep a road course in the playoffs! _________________________________________________ Watch and listen to new episodes of Actions Detrimental every Monday during the NASCAR Cup season & check us out on Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok for all the best moments from the show. . .

If the shoe was on the other foot he would be saying there should be more road course races 😅
Lmfao the Road Courses are def necessary. Cant help that the other drivers arent on SVG level at all 😂😂.
Tires mattered, talent mattered, strategy mattered.
Svg doesn’t have any problems passing cars going to the front
Road courses are great drivers talent shows especially when all the cars are identical svg put on a clinic 😂😂😂
problem? The race was great. Don't call it a problem because you guys can't beat the guy who knows what he's doing
Road course racing can't be that boring, look at F1 it's the biggest racing series in the world and they do nothing but road courses. I know people will think I'm dumb but the chicago street race is what got me back into nascar.
Did not know NASCAR had superchargers - the whining is unbearable.
I clicked this just to see denny cry about road courses because he's shit at them LOL
I loved the Watkins Glen race!! Still think Sonoma should be in May and Glen in August though.
The road courses are awesome. On TV too.
Really Denny? Just because you aren't strong at road courses doesn't mean it's car's fault or everything else's fault. Take your own advice and have a little accountability. SVG had no problem at all coming up through the field
You're gonna have to take all the road courses off the schedule because every single one of you could cheat and still wouldn't beat SVG.
I love road races. I just like the variety and like that nascar guys are good at everything.
Next gen on road courses are good, it’s just the drivers suck!
Come on! Waa, waa, waa.
No passing ?? SVG passed nearly the whole field in less than 20 laps including you !
If it's a next gen problem, why hasn't Denny won't a road course race in 10 years?
Maybe Denny should bow out on the show every time they have a road course because his bias toward them doesn't help the show become interesting. His constant putting down of the road courses makes a show unwatchable. He should excuse himself out whenever there was a show the week after a road course..
I actually enjoyed the race I'm not sure if I can agree with Denny because just because he was around people that were not passing each other doesn't mean other people weren't passing. what I saw was a lot of good passing and people racing hard. That last stint were SVG came up through the field was fun to watch. I don't care if the broadcast booth didn't cover it correctly according to them, I was enjoying watching it. Just my take you may disagree
