Darlington rolling right into Kansas is an amazing stretch of the schedule.
Plus Bristol after… (the real Bristol) -might be the best 3 week stretch of the year !
Agreed!
@Young Sinatra Too bad bristol will probably be mediocre because next gen car.
Agreed I love the new Kansas drives with all the line’s you can run
I think the 45 is going to win Kansas or the 17
Bells Crew still having issues even after the swap is very very concerning, Going from a bottom 20 crew, to a top 3 crew and still having slow stops, and mistakes could be a sign of maybe a bigger issue with that team.
Jgr pit crews seem to always suck when it counts
This race has proved it I think that rfk has the potential to put 2 cars in the round of 8 and maybe 1 in the championship race
To me it proved the potential is there for 2 rfk cars in the final 4 and 2 HMS
Also I hope Carson Hocevar is the surprise choice for Kaulig after tonight
Quick turn around for a video, impressive as always. Wish Byron could’ve made the last lap pass for 3rd but it’s not a bad start. Love the content brother <3
Yeah he didnt force the issue there. No point of racing # 17 hard and possibly wrecking, loosing points. He ran a smart race. He is a clean racer in my opinion.
My first ever nascar race I got to attend as a life Long fan man you weren’t kidding what a experience it was!
Congrats! Glad you enjoyed it! My first cup race was in 1998 and man the fan experience then was so different then it is now. But the racing is still racing and that’s the whole point!
Awesome to see people still excited for their first race!
Harvick needs a win!
Carson Hocevar seems to have some genuine raw talent. As long as he continues to drive cleanly, no doubt he’ll be a fantastic driver in the future.
Hocevar is an absolute shoe. Pit crew was on fire as well
He will be in the 31 maybe next year not the 42 cause of the car switch
@Mystic Hoboit’s a racing term that means talented
Not to mention Hocevar finished ahead of All 4 JGR cars
That bonehead move of Reddick is up there with Martin at Bristol a lap too early. Absolutely asinine to think that you can downshift, (Jimmy) jam on the brakes – in the racing line exiting a corner, and turn left with less than 200 yards and make it to pit road…. PROPS to Newman for not running over Reddick, because I would’ve!
Almost as bone head as the blocks thrown by the 48. If I was Daniel I’d bust his nose for him.
Somebody did that a few years ago in a previous Southern 500 and wrecked a few guys in the top 10. I forget who it was but it was dumb that night too.
Brakes, learn to spell
This is what I’d like to call a “night” and “day” race. The metaphor fits perfectly the bouts of calm and chaos, tenseness and normalness. Poor Harvick deserved no less than a top 5.
To bad Harvick has the worst crew chief in the garage
@ThatOneRacingNerd that was on Reddick
Good to see Newman is still hard to pass ❤
Lol. Who let that geriatric back on track? Honest question.
I wanted to see him punch Reddick for stopping in the groove.
Me too
It’s fun to watch him in the 51
It’s great being a 5 fan. He races so hard and makes you so nervous. The king of the high line. We love a close finish, but most of Larson’s wins are completely undeniable by the time he crosses the finish line.
I was kind of freaking out too.
Love larson cuz he’s a beast
Man, that camera on the back of Reddick’s car. The one facing forward, showing him chasing Larson those last laps, both just inches off the wall, was F’n sick. God, I love Darlington. The Southern 500 is such an awesome race
It was slowing him down I kept saying lol
Me too the southern 500 is an awesome race
The camera also showed that butiful paint scheme
Reddick shouldn’t have been battling anybody after the brain dead move he made…should have been at the back of the pack….if you do something this stupid and cause a caution you should go to the back…Nascar needs to look at this rule
Bubba just has to start confident and not be so hard on himself, he did an amazing job of keeping his head down and grinding to finish just outside the top 5. I’m so happy to see him perform so well and I have full confidence he will get out of this round. Go get ‘em bw!!
Both 23XI Racing cars were the only Toyotas inside the Top 10… Really inside the Top 15
I’m so excited for Kansas. Easily his best track and going in with a lot of momentum.
I think if he doesn’t win at Kansas he’s going to be out the next week after that at Bristol
He’s heading into honestly his best weekend, so he needs to put the pressure off of him.
fun fact: Carson Hocevar finished ahead of ALL of the JGR drivers
crazy.
Yeah. He will be at Kansas and Bristol. Hopefully, he will run good.
That was a good run for Carson hocevar 17th and in the lead lap that maybe the best finish for the 42 all year.
@DC322500 laps at Bristol will be a true test
I felt really bad for Harvick, who was making a masterful drive. Reddick made a dumb move, and Harvick got penalized for it.
I’m wondering if harvick was looking at his dash and Rodney was maybe talking to the crew how soon does nascar tell them if they didn’t make pit road?
Considering the pass they gave to Brad K last week, they should have given Harvick a pass as well. Reddick should have been the one penalized.
I wonder if harvick has these things called eyes. If not maybe he should get some because that could help him get better at seeing a car spinning and still continue to go down pit road. And why would Reddick get penalized for trying to get to pit road?
@jackcrat clearly you don’t understand pit entry, harvicks last look at the track was in turn 3. He was beyond committed he had 3 options. Do what he did, run through pit lane and pit from about 12th or have a commitment line violation.
Reddick caused a wreck and I really think it’s time that nascar starts sending everyone involved in a wreck to the rear after the caution. He didn’t deserve a 2nd place race after ruining 2 others
RFK has really really impressed me especially Chris Buescher
I thought he was going to overtake Reddick during the last 10 laps of the race but finished P3.
@DC322 I thought so too but with it being hard to pass he was stuck, either race clean or take him out to pass, hopefully nascar will make adjustments to make the cars easier to pass
I feel Kevin’s team also had other chances to limit the damage by not pitting on one of those late race cautions and regaining track position, but for some reason chose to pit every time, staying back in the 20s.
Congrats to Kyle Larson and the 5 team on winning a crazy Southern 500. One down and nine to go off to Kansas. Groovy gage 80%.
Happy Ross turned the day around from bad to really good. Just need more of this 🙂
