I can’t see how that could be. Bubba got clipped by his teammate and hit the wall hard. Wasn’t blocking anyone.

Larson blocked a little bit, but nothing really bad.

This just seems to be how super speedway races end now.

Which I think stinks! If you want to see a "demo derby", or the guys want to have a "demo derby" you/they should go to your county fair.........

I really like Reddick and Chasten. Totally different personalities.

Hamlin better hope that one race win is good enough to get in the playoffs. They do not look good this year.

Well.. yeah.. When you've only got 20 cars left.. Excitement is hard to come by. Yes, exaggeration, but not by much.

The whole race was.. Eh. Seems there were only a couple of passes for the lead. The outside lane would build, get there, then fall back.



Hamlin.. Look.. Not overly worried.. That team has the ability to throw a switch and turn everything around. Their teammates are running good.. So, it wouldn't surprise me, like last year, for him to win his way into the final 4.

Thank you. I guess I missed that when they announced why they were shortening it.

With pack racing, wrecks are just a part of it. We all know that most fans (non-hard core fans) want this type of racing.

With the current version of the NextGen car, had it NOT been pack racing, it would have been a line of cars that couldn't pass.

Well this is going to be interesting to see what NASCAR does on this.


For reference we all know what happened to Larson for using the "Nword" in a generic way. Here Hamlin actually directed his derogatory remark (meme) directly at Larson who is part asian.

This is going to be very interesting to see if NASCAR is consistent or will they have a double standard.
If they are consistent.... things just went from bad to worse for Hamlin.

I get the feeling Kyle is just dismayed that sponsors aren't knocking down the doors to sponsor Kyle Busch.

This must be some conjured up drama. For petes sake, Kyle is one of the all time best NASCAR drivers. He's a great spokesperson for his sponsors.

I know Kyle has been saying that he doesn't know his future past this season. He has also said that there is no other team he would fit in to.

M&M's dropping out of NASCAR is a big deal, but I'm certain a major sponsor would love to be on the 18 if KB is driving it.
