## Resource

It is crunch time for all 3 of NASCAR's top series as the Chase nears. We begin the show with a brand new NASCAR Live Backtrax highlighting the Cook Out 400 from Richmond. Ryan Preece then stops by to discuss his now, uphill battle to make the chase. We take a look at the truck series bubble before their regular season finale at New Hampshire. Finally, we flashback to one of the more unique races in NASCAR history, the 2001 New Hampshire 300.
