Michigan ended with one of the biggest hits of the year — Christopher Bell and Chase Elliott went hard into the wall battling late — and now the big question is what Bell’s status looks like heading into Pocono.

On this episode of Frontstretch Happy Hour, we break down the Michigan wreck fallout, what we know right now about Bell’s injury situation, and what it means if the driver of the No. 20 can’t go this weekend.

Then we zoom out: is the regular-season championship turning into a true two-horse race, and who’s got the edge as we hit the summer stretch?

We’ll also talk about Connor Zilisch’s brutal rookie season — what’s going wrong, what’s fixable, and how long the patience clock really is in 2026.

And finally: Ford stinks right now. It’s been a rough year in Cup, and they’ve been basically nonexistent in NOAPS — so what’s the problem, what’s the solution, and how quickly can they realistically turn it around?
