Bryan Nolen

Frontstretch podcast host and content creator Bryan Nolen joined The Fast Lane with Ed Lane on Thursday, August 20 to discuss: If national political elections could impact a NASCAR street race in Washington (just like Chicago and similar to San Diego). Why he’s looking forward to the IndyCar race in the district but not necessarily the political content surrounding it.

This week on Bringing the Heat With Trey Lyle, USA Sports producer Rene Hatlelid joins Lyle ahead of NASCAR’s final network transition of the year. This year, on-screen branding will look a little different, as it will switch from showing ‘NBC Sports’ to ‘USA Sports’ for each of the final 14 races of the 2026 season. According to Hatlelid, “the only thing that changed is the logo on our shirts.” Hatlelid was also a part of the Amazon Prime broadcasts earlier this season.

On this week’s episode of Frontstretch Happy Hour, hosts Bryan Nolen, Michael Massie and Dalton Hopkins are joined by NASCAR.com’s nascarcasm a.k.a David Vrabel. The four guys dive into how Corey Heim‘s two NASCAR Cup Series wins this season have impacted The Chase picture in that it has kept other drivers from getting points. They also discuss whether or not the young 23XI Racing driver is already a superstar or not.
