    Ty Gibbs is officially a two-time NASCAR Cup Series winner! Gibbs conquered Iowa Speedway to score the second victory of his Cup Series career, and Kerry Murphey and Toby Christie are breaking down everything from a wild weekend in Iowa on this edition of The Final Lap Weekly.

We dig into the controversy surrounding NASCAR allegedly threatening to create a “made-up rule” to prevent the change and what that could mean for teams trying to improve their cars. The NASCAR Cup Series point standings are getting shaken up, and one of the biggest stories is Tyler Reddick’s sudden plunge down the standings. How much trouble is he really in as the season heats up? Then we turn our attention to Richmond for a complete weekend preview. Who should thrive at the Short Track, which teams need a huge result, and could we see another surprise winner?
