Full Credit to the Noise

Full Credit to the News puts NASCAR's relaxed take on fighting and swearing under the microscope.
NASCAR has made headlines in the last week thanks to the pit road fight between Ryan Blaney and Carson Hocevar.
A now-confirmed lack of sanctions for the drivers involved, paired with NASCAR's wild swear jar promotion, has highlighted the category's entertainment-first focus.
Is it the right message to be sending to fans? And should Supercars think about taking a leaf out of NASCAR's book when it comes to letting drivers show their passion?
Andrew van Leeuwen and Stefan Bartholomaeus take a deep dive into the matter on this week's Full Credit to the News podcast.
They also look at Oscar Piastri's disappointing F1 season to date and offer some insights into the F1 silly season – and whether Jack Doohan is truly in the mix at Haas.
There's listener questions from the FCTTN discord and much more.

Full Credit to the Noise is here to tackle the biggest stories in world motorsport, from wild scenes in NASCAR, the emotional crowning of a new Aussie world champion in Austria and much more.

Last weekend provided plenty low action around the globe, starting with a record-breaking Shannons SpeedSeries round in Sydney.

That all seemed pretty tame compared to Bristol, though, where Ryan Blaney and Carson Hocevar got into a full-blown punch-on after clashing in the race.

Were the wild scenes damaging to NASCAR's image? Or the type of blockbuster action that other series shouldn't be scared of promoting?

Meanwhile, Australia's newest two-wheeled world champion was crowned in Austria in emotional circumstances while Pedro Acosta finally scored a MotoGP win.

Former Legend and AVL discuss all of that and much more, including playing Unders or Overs and Credit or Shredit, in the latest Full Credit to the Noise.

Is it a good move for Monaco?

Is the AGP date set in stone?

And have ticket prices got out of control?

Full Credit to the Noise tackles the big storylines from The Bend to Madrid and much, much more.

From parity to a wet and wild race there were no shortage of talking points out of the Supercars enduro opener at The Bend.

How did the parity storm play out?

How did Toyota grab victory from seemingly nowhere?

And should we see more of Greg Murphy on our TV screens?

But for every action-packed weekend there is a complete lack of action, or whatever the saying is, as evidenced by the debut of Madring on the F1 calendar.

There was bad luck for Lando, another Kimi Antonelli masterclass but to see any of it you had to stay awake.

Former Legend and AVL take a light-hearted look at everything that happened from Tailem Bend to Madrid and much, much more.

It was a wet and wild day at The Bend that provided a spectacular race and an unexpected winner. How did it play out? Our daily podcast has it all covered.

What was forecast to be a small shower at midday turned into a deluge that turned The Bend 500 into an epic race.

Some co-drivers shone in the dark wintry conditions at the start and others didn't.

In the end, Walkinshaw TWG Racing burst from the clouds to turn what had been a quiet weekend into a one-three result in the first enduro of the season.

Elsewhere there was a mysterious lack of speed from the pole-sitting DJR Mustang, a double disqualification for BRT (after another Richie Stanaway wet weather masterclass) and heaps of other fascinating talking points.

Andrew van Leeuwen and Stefan Bartholomaeus unpack it all in the Sunday edition of the daily podcast.
