## Caption

This week on Frontstretch Happy Hour, we're diving into one of the biggest stories in NASCAR. Corey Heim has won two NASCAR Cup Series races, but because of his part-time status, those victories have dramatically reshaped the Owners' Championship instead of the drivers' standings. We'll examine how those lost owners' points could impact the charter battle, the teams fighting to stay above the cut line, and why Heim's success may have ripple effects throughout the garage for the rest of the season.

Then we shift the focus to Corey Heim the driver. At just 24 years old, has he already crossed the line from rising star to bona fide NASCAR superstar? Where does he rank among the sport's elite, and is a full-time championship run inevitable?

Next, we tackle one of the hottest debates coming out of Indianapolis. After celebrations crossed the Yard of Bricks, NASCAR reminded competitors that the historic start/finish line is off limits. Is this simply respecting one of motorsports' most iconic landmarks, or is it an outdated tradition that fans and drivers shouldn't have to worry about?

Finally, it's the last off-weekend of the NASCAR season, making it the perfect time to hand out our midseason report cards. Who has exceeded expectations? Which teams desperately needed the break? And who is poised for a second-half surge toward the playoffs?

Joining Bryan Nolen, Michael Massie, and Dalton Hopkins this week is NASCARCASM, bringing his unique perspective on the biggest stories in the sport.
