On this episode of Speed with Harvick and Buxton, fueled by POET, Kevin and Will start at Watkins Glen, where Shane van Gisbergen put on an absolute clinic, erasing a massive 30-second deficit in the closing stages to carve through 23 cars in just 17 laps. Kevin Harvick takes us "Under the Hood" to analyze how SVG managed to find grip where no one else could, securing his seventh career Cup victory and further cementing his status as the undisputed king of the road courses. But the dominance didn't stop there; we also look at Connor Zilisch’s nail-biting win in the O’Reilly series and Kaden Honeycutt’s logic-defying four-win weekend across three different series, a feat that left the entire paddock shaking their heads.The conversation shifts from the asphalt to the dirt as we celebrate Kasey Kahne’s emotional return to victory lane in the World of Outlaws—his first driver win in nearly 30 years—and Ken Roczen’s inspiring Supercross title, a triumph nearly a decade in the making following his career-threatening injuries. Meanwhile, in the world of open-wheel, Will Buxton sounds off in "Buxton’s Breakdown," defending Alexander Rossi’s frustrations over INDYCAR’s caution calls at the Sonsio GP, where Christian Lundgaard captured a career-defining win for McLaren. We also take a global look at the shifting landscape of Formula 1, discussing the newly announced 2027 engine regulations designed to move away from "battery-style" racing and back toward raw internal combustion power.As we move through the field, we check in on MotoGP’s French thriller, BMW’s historic WEC win at Spa, and a chaotic WRC finish in Portugal before turning the show over to you. We dive into the Racing Line to answer your voicemails about which manufacturers should enter the sport and where in the world we’d host the ultimate NASCAR/Indy/F1 triple-header. After reviewing some heart-stopping "over the wall" wrecks in our Replay Review, we set our sights on the horizon. We close out the show with the Final Lap, previewing the million-dollar chaos of the NASCAR All-Star Race at the Monster Mile in Dover and the iconic Indianapolis 500.
