Shane van Gisbergen keeps winning, Joey Logano keeps reminding everyone why he’s the defending NASCAR Cup Series champion, and NASCAR is making another major superspeedway rules change. There’s a lot to unpack this week on Frontstretch Happy Hour.

Joining Bryan Nolen, Thomas Dunn, and Dalton Hopkins is Peter Stratta, one of the fastest-growing voices covering NASCAR, to break down the biggest storylines heading into the weekend.

First, we ask whether we've overlooked Joey Logano. Is this latest run simply a hot streak, or should he once again be considered one of the favorites to win the championship?

Then we tackle one of the biggest narratives of the season: Has Shane van Gisbergen finally shed the "road course ringer" label? After proving he can contend on ovals, is it time to start viewing SVG as a complete NASCAR Cup Series driver?

We'll also look at North Wilkesboro's incredible comeback. With its revival now complete, which historic speedway deserves NASCAR's attention next? Rockingham? Nashville Fairgrounds? Somewhere else?

Finally, NASCAR has adjusted its superspeedway rules package ahead of this weekend. What changes are being made, why now, and how could they affect the racing at Daytona- and Talladega-style tracks moving forward?

JOIN THE CONVERSATION LIVE:
Is Joey Logano back to championship form? Has SVG silenced the doubters? Which track deserves NASCAR's next revival?
