This week on Below the Yellow Line, Sal and Buddy break down Hamlin’s third straight win after another dominant performance at Pocono. With the No. 11 team now within striking distance of Tyler Reddick in the standings, the guys debate whether this is finally Denny’s year—and Buddy is ready to put the championship prediction on the record. The episode also dives into Pocono’s never-ending turn-count debate, Christopher Bell battling through injury, Prime’s brutally honest fuel-strategy coverage, and an O’Reilly Auto Parts Series race that spent nearly as much time under caution as it did under green. Justin Allgaier continues to put belt to ass, Anthony Alfredo earns an Italian-American attaboy, and Corey Day’s rough afternoon sends Buddy scrambling for his crow receipt. Plus, Eric Jones climbs into the Chase picture, Legacy Motor Club continues to show real progress, the guys question Amazon’s terrifying AI puppets, and Buddy pulls within one point in **Who’s Finishing Last** after Casey Mears’ rough Pocono outing. Sal and Buddy also preview NASCAR’s highly anticipated trip to Naval Base Coronado, make their last-place picks, and debate just how badly SVG might beat the field on the new street course. And in the Italian Goodbye, both hosts celebrate championship weekends of their own before Buddy unloads on fans demanding Chicagoland’s return without actually buying tickets.
