NASCAR on NBC analyst Kyle Petty on whether the reconfiguration of Atlanta Motor Speedway passed the test, whether NASCAR driver opinions should matter or if they should 'shut up and drive'; why Atlanta is more mentally exhausting now than Daytona and Talladega; how William Byron as the future and anchor of Hendrick Motorsports; Jimmie Johnson's career-best sixth in IndyCar and if he now could win the Indy 500.
