## Resource

Full Credit to the News takes a deep dive into the Matt Payne's blocked NASCAR deal. The Grove Racing star was forced to turn down a NASCAR Cup Series start in an RCR Chevrolet after it was blocked by his Ford-shod Supercars team. A predictable outcome, sure, but also the latest twist in the Payne/Grove/GM love triangle that is underpinning the silly season. What does it mean? What did Payne do on his recent trip to the US? And who is in Grove's sights as a replacement? Andrew van Leeuwen and Stefan Bartholomaeus unpack it all. They also discuss the latest news out of Adelaide regarding MotoGP and the Grand Final and F1's bizarre engine outcomes. A speedcafe.com podcast
