Rockingham Recap: Interviews with Christian Eckes and Parker Eatmon
First and foremost, we hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend spent with friends and family, celebrating the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! While the Cup Series took the weekend off, there was still plenty of racing action to dive into. The Trucks, ARCA East, and the O’Reilly Series all headed to Rockingham in North Carolina for a packed schedule. After last year’s Truck race came down to fuel strategy, all eyes were on whether Tyler Ankrum could return to victory lane at “The Rock,” or if Corey Heim could steal the spotlight back in a TRICON ride. ARCA East got things rolling Saturday morning, featuring a fun storyline with Cletus McFarland and Squirrel McNutt in the field. But when it came to the win, expectations pointed once again toward Max Reaves and Carson Brown—with Tristen McKee looking to shake things up. In the O’Reilly Series, the spotlight was firmly on Cletus as he made his debut in the No. 33 for Richard Childress, bringing plenty of buzz—and criticism—about his rapid rise through the ranks. Meanwhile, Justin Allgaier and defending Rockingham winner Sammy Smith aimed to keep JRM’s dominance rolling, with challengers like Taylor Gray and Austin Hill ready to play spoiler. Plus, we’ve got interviews with Parker Eatmon and Christian Eckes, our Yellow Flag/Green Flag segment, discussions with Dave, Paint Scheme of the Week, NASCAR History Time, Fast Davey Bets, and predictions heading into Bristol, baby!

Snowball Derby Recap: Interview with Chase Pinsonneault
Snowball Derby week did not disappoint — even with Mother Nature throwing a wrench into the schedule! Weather shuffled the plans, shortened practice sessions, and led to some late nights, but in the end, all the racing got in and it was well worth it.

Then Sunday turned the spotlight to the main event — the 2025 Snowball Derby, 300 laps with everything on the line. Ryan Preece, Kyle Busch, Stephen Nasse, Dawson Sutton, Derek Thorn, Bubba Pollard, Chase Pinsonneault, defending winner Kaden Honeycutt, and many more were ready to put it all on the line at Five Flags Speedway. Discussions with Dave breaks down all the action from Pensacola — and there was plenty to unpack — along with the latest NASCAR news. Plus: Paint Scheme of the Week, Yellow Flag / Green Flag, NASCAR History Time, and interviews with Chase Pinsonneault, and much more. All that and more on this action-packed episode of Splash of Gas!!

We’ve rolled into Week 3 of the NASCAR offseason, but the racing world clearly didn’t get the memo — because the action is full throttle. In fact, there’s so much going on that we’re dropping TWO episodes this week!

And the entry list wasn’t just stacked with short-track stars: Carson Kvapil, Matt Gould, Austin Green, and Keelan Harvick — son of NASCAR champion Kevin Harvick — all suited up as well. But that’s just the warm-up. We’re digging into a fresh batch of offseason storylines in Discussions with Dave, including: What exactly is going on between Steve Phelps and Richard Childress? We’ve also got Yellow Flag / Green Flag, NASCAR History Time, Paint Scheme of the Week, a recap of the top moments from the 2025 Cup season, and an interview with this year’s South Carolina 400 winner, Caden Kvapil.
