Buescher also had another fire on pit road. Had 1 last year too on the Indy RC. Buescher has been the best driver in the cup series the past month.

The race was not terrible, but not too exciting. Dirty air, can’t pass. ☠️ Kansas will hopefully be a much more exciting race. I’m not a Hendrick Motorsports fan, but congrats to Larson.

Darlington was overall better last year & overall disappointing this year.

The problem isn’t horsepower but HOW the downforce is produced. The rear diffuser is causing a ton of dirty air at ovals less than 1.5 miles and the road courses. Also the cars are stuck to the ground which makes it worse.

Lack of horsepower in these cars is definitely a problem but so are other things

Very long race, grueling race for many, glad Larson won, maybe I wanted him to be able to crush Hamlin .

Thank you for not posting a picture of the winner and this was an exciting snooze fest of a race meaning great moments with some stretched out boring periods. The race is to long in my opinion

Darlington always seems to bring out the worst of playoff drivers. They always struggle the most.

Harvick’s team could be heard last second telling Harvick to go through the pit road and not pit after calling him in. It was too late though and Harvick didn’t hear them until he had already stopped.

Harvick is a 22 year veteran. There is no reason for him to have to be told by somebody else what the rules are. I’m just a fan watching on TV and I knew it was wrong.

@Paul DayI don’t think he saw the red light. That’s the only explanation I can come up with. You’re right, he shouldn’t have had to been told not to pit, but I honestly think he was unsure on if the pit road light had turned red before he got there. Not having the awareness to know it had turned red was unacceptable as a 22 year veteran racer in Cup. You’re right about that. It’s a shame that happened. I’m a Larson fan, but wanted to see Harvick win this one.

“We Won It, We Won It, We Won It”! The southern 500 is my Daytona 500 every year my favorite track; now both my favorite drivers Carl Edwards and Kyle Larson have both won the southern 500 cant more be more ecstatic.
