I’m so happy for lajoie really rooting for him this weekend!!!!
Yeah I was bummed that chase did that but after reading that Corey will drive the 9 I’m actually excited.
I really wasn’t sure Nascar would be brave enough to suspend Elliott, but it’s good to see them uphold their rules and apply them equally
Lol it’s a perceived notion that they wouldn’t.
It’s funny they keep digging themselves a hole Nascar needs Elliott Elliot doesn’t need nascar
EQUALLY? Denny ran the 9 into the well right. As the rule states both are in violation of the rule. They both should be parked….
@Christopher kasebier nascar don’t need Elliott, he’s living on his daddy’s name
@S.W.E. Racing
Dude, don’t be dumb. There’s a difference. Hamlin accidentally squeezed Elliot. Elliot did it on purpose.
Opens YouTube …
Eric immediately “we’ve been trying to reach you about your cars extended warranty”
This is great
Corey LaJoie needs a solid top 10 finish out of this opportunity. It’ll be great for him to show what he can do with tier 1 equipment.
Hailey Deegan did awesome in her one Xfinity ride this year. Corey can kick butt with Hedrick tech on the set up
Or he can get a win to get in the playoffs
@MegaMr46 Naw it won’t count because it’s not in his car number. It would put Hendricks in the playoffs not spire
@John Snowit would put the 9 and Lajoie in the playoffs. There are two playoffs. And in the ultimate turn of irony, that could be the move that would keep the 7 out of the championship hunt.
If he wins in the 9 car, he will be in the playoffs driving the 7. The car number only matters when it comes to the owners championship. Also if he wins in the 9, the 9 team WILL NOT be in the playoffs. It’s only if the DRIVER who won is driving that car. A playoff eligible driver could drive a different car every week through the playoffs with a different number every week
How do you think Corey LaJoie will do at Gateway this weekend?
Amazing hopefully. He deserves it
Solid top 20
Top 20 probably
13th
At least Lajoie is getting this opportunity in competitive equipment and should use this as an audition maybe for the 10 if Almirola retires.
Don’t think it will matter. That car has not been terribly fast.
@Easy E Network as a diehard Chase fan, I have a sneaky suspicion that it is less on the car, and more on Chase being slightly rusty/risk averse after coming back from the broken leg. He finished 2nd at auto club, so that car is definitely still one of the fastest
That would be an awesome paring, especially if Smithfield stays with the 10
I think I heard that LaJoie has a multi year contract. Not sure when Almirola is going to leave, but I do hope when that happens and Lajoie does good in the 9, that SHR will at least consider him for the 10.
@Marco Strange ah we have seen that contracts being in place don’t mean much if the other team is willing or whatever to buy out the contract
This chain reaction of events from Chase’s suspension is crazy
If Xfinity wasn’t out on the left coast this weekend, Berry would be in the 9, so this is a great opportunity for LaJoie to drive a top tier car.
@Gary Jackson left coast? Never heard it called that before
A week or more without Ross Chastain getting in trouble.
Cry harder.
I love Ross! Ross is his own person! You be you Ross and @#$% everyone else!
The amount of mental gymnastics nascar/chase fans put on display on twitter to justify why this incident is different than the bubba/larson incident was truly astounding.
YouTube – Blaze Alexander…That’s the first thing that came to my mind. That is why Chase was suspended.
The only thing different is he didnt get out and assault a guy half his size.
The optics on Bubba’s was way worse IMO. But totally agree that Chase had to sit
Good time to be a LaJoie fan, hope he does well!
Wow, it will be interesting to see how Corey does in the 9. I hope he does really well!
This is going to be the most important race of Corey’s career. The car and team are more than capable of winning. We will see if Corey really is capable too.
Not as capable as the 5 and 24 but yes hope he does well
If NASCAR suspended every driver that wrecked another driver, there would be half a dozen substitute drivers in every race. I’ve been a NASCAR fan since the days of Harry Gant and it is pitiful to see how attitudes have shifted towards making racing the equivalent of touch football. You are an example of that.
@Buddy Deal I agree. There going to start having to suspend a lot of drivers now since their putting their selves in a box with this suspension but I bet they just pick and choose who they want to suspend as always in each situation.
@Buddy Deal ohhh I miss those days of racing, But time marches on and it seems everyone wants drivers to have a safe space around them at all times
@Buddy Deal and how many times should Denny have been suspended…when he does it to someone its oppsss or its just racing…or payback….chase gives payback and denny cries foul
Is it just me? Does Denny ever make a week without being part of the story.
Why is that important here? He could have been killed hitting the way that way. It has happened before. Let’s stay focused.
Just want to thank you for all the videos you put out. They’re all a great way to stay in the loop for NASCAR stuff, especially without having to read webpages with a million ads. Keep up the good work!
Way to go Chase…good for you!!
Eric, just gotta say man you do an awesome job of wrapping this pieces up well and framing them nicely. As a non-american trying to follow the NASCAR series you make it sooo much easier with getting everything out quickly and in such easily watchable format. Thanks man!
Dennis Hamlin always runs ‘his line’ on every track, and if he wrecks someone doing that…thats racing. When someone is running ‘their line’ in front of Dennis, he thinks its perfectly fine to punt them, and hes done it numerous times.
