He’s great on the road courses.

He’s great on the road courses.

He absolutely is. But he's a 1 trick pony.

He won't make it past the first round.

Really should require the guy to still be in the Top 16 in points to make the playoffs no matter how many wins they have.

I figure guys that make the playoffs that are actually one of the top drivers will gladly take several guys outside the Top 20 winning a race and make the playoffs to make it easier to at least make the 2nd round.

Gragson having a tough go.

I mean, that's not necessarily a "bad" %

Am I a bad person for secretly liking fuel mileage races?

 

[CagleMtnVol]

Saw on X they are shortening the race.

I've not seen why? Weather?

 

[95 Vol Alum]

Amazon needs to be better. Usually watch on Sunday night. Their replay is 3 hours of rain delay coverage and no race.

I think it’s okay time to time. But this new gen car has turned almost every race into fuel mileage.

Gibbs, Bowman, Cindric.

Bubba with 6 DNFs on the season yet tied for top team finishes let’s you know the pace is there.

Bowman has 8 Top 10's so he's still having a very good year.

Cindric is either running good (Top 10-15) or bad (25-30)

Ty was better last year than this year. I don't think he's a great driver and in the car for one reason (I assume you can guess it)

Gibbs has to be the biggest gap vs expectations. Hocevar not leading Spire also surprising.

Rooting against Ty Gibbs and watching him struggle has been really satisfying these last several seasons.

 

[rocktopper16]

Atlanta is insane now.

 

[rocktopper16]

Hocevar might get it done tonight. Chase running good too!

 

[knoxvol52]

That a boy Chase... The only time this season I don't pick Chase to win he won.

 

[Orange Maniac]

I think every driver I picked was involved in a crash. Crazy. Chase had a heck of a drive at the end.

 

[95 Vol Alum]

Haha

Ty Dillon — Finished a season-best eighth and provided the biggest upset of the In-Season Challenge. As the No. 32 seed, he eliminated No. 1 seed Denny Hamlin and said on TNT after the race: “All you Denny fans out there, I just knocked your favorite driver out.”

Why are we in Chicago for the 4th?

 

[Nerd-Vol]

Why are we in Chicago for the 4th?

1. It’s an awesome course, seeing the city skyline is fantastic.

2. Daytona gets an extra tourism weekend by not having the 400 be on the 4th of July weekend.

I only learned a few years ago that the firecracker 400 was on the 4th regardless of when it was. Apparently they would run it early(11am) in the day so you could still go to the beach.
