5:22A reporter explains the severe brake trouble affecting Rhodes' truck.
9:27McKee takes the lead after a restart, battling Riggs and Honeycutt.

17:09The late restart sets up the deciding battle; the result comes at 19:09.

Layne Riggs wins both stages, Ben Rhodes has brake trouble, and Chandler Smith saves his decisive move for the closing laps. NASCAR's most-watched new upload packs plenty into the penultimate Truck Series race of the season.

The Black's Tire 200 highlights follow Riggs from the early lead through a night repeatedly interrupted by cautions. Tristan McKee takes a turn at the front, a front-straightaway wreck brings out the red flag, and Smith finally gets ahead on a late restart. For a race billed around Kaden Honeycutt and Riggs' championship prospects, the victory belongs to someone else.

The video has drawn roughly a quarter-million views and carries the channel's strongest momentum right now. Viewers are talking about McKee's run, the length of the stage break and what the result means for Riggs heading toward the finale. That last question gives the highlights something beyond the usual replay value: every lost position matters to the championship picture.

NASCAR posted fifteen uploads across the week. Martinsville also supplied O'Reilly Auto Parts Series highlights featuring Jesse Love, Justin Allgaier and Carson Kvapil, while Talladega returned in "behind the scenes of the big one at talladega".

Across the channel, weekly viewing added about ten million views, though the current daily pace is less than half its usual level. Subscribers were unchanged over the week. Among its motorsport neighbors, FORMULA 1 and MotoGP had larger weekly viewing totals, while NASCAR's total was above those of Oracle Red Bull Racing, McLaren and FortNine. On NASCAR's own channel, the Truck Series' stop-start Martinsville evening is the main attraction.

Understand his teammate wanted to win, but Layne needed this win to close the gap. 20 points enough for Layne to get the championship next week?
