  John Hunter Nemechek Wants to Prove Them Wrong, Larson’s Win & Gateway Chaos | Stacking Pennies

  Sep 14, 20261h 24m

  John Hunter Nemechek wants to prove them wrong. After learning he won’t return to Legacy Motor Club in 2027, he joins Corey LaJoie and Ryan “Skip” Flores for an honest conversation about losing a NASCAR Cup Series ride, the shock of getting the news, and his determination to win again. His message about the next chapter: “I’m bound and determined to make them regret their decision.” John Hunter opens up about why the results don’t always tell the full story, what he learned building race cars with his dad, and how finding the right people can change a career. With his next opportunity still uncertain, he explains why winning in Trucks or the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series could be the way forward, why he believes he belongs on Sundays, and what becoming “Joey Logano 2.0” would mean to him. Corey and Skip bring their own experiences with losing jobs and starting over to a conversation about confidence, perspective, and falling back in love with racing. Plus, the guys unpack a chaotic Gateway weekend: Kyle Larson’s victory, Hendrick Motorsports finishing 1–2–4, aggressive Cup restarts, brake-rotor failures, and the championship pressure building around Denny Hamlin. They also debate Corey Day and William Sawalich’s escalating feud and its consequences for the O’Reilly points battle. Rear tire changer Bryan Backus joins the show with his firsthand account of Saturday’s pit-road crash, explaining how he was struck and why watching the replay changed his perspective.
