PERFECT RACE!
This was one of the sickest NASCAR races in a while. Definitely loved this one. I’ll remember this.
The way the crowd cheered you thought Elliott was side by side with Harvick
i was there, we all wanted harvick to get his last win so bad, yet we were still rlly happy blaney got it. plus elliot and larson wrecking got us excited too
Chase is 3rd best driver at Hendrick behind both Kyle Larson and William Byron.
Best finish I’ve seen in a while
Honestly a great race in my opinion. Big wrecks, good racing, and good finish. 10/10
so thats what it takes to make good racing- big wrecks……….
@Mike WalkerNobody watches Nascar to see people racing. We want drivers kill each other
That talladega finish was insane!!!!! My heart was beating like hell
Hell yeah Blaney! Go win this championship
Not going to happen.
He’s like my wife, he dont have what it takes.
@Hill Billyhahahaha
I really like Blaney. But dang, it would have been awesome to see Harvick win one last time at Talladega.
Harvick just got a DQ so it would still go to Blaney.
@rush2207 why was he DQ’d?
@C Del from what I saw his windscreen wasnt fastened properly.
First time Harvick comes out on the losing end of a photo finish. He usually wins them! And Pennzoil no less, the sponsor he carried to victory in two of those finishes at Daytona and Talladega.
Even if Kevin would’ve won nascar would taken the win from him becuase he just got DQ , for his window ; regardless whether it was official counted down by nascar or not ; I still consider his 2nd place a 2nd place finish and one of his best ones lol , plus wouldn’t have mattered if his finish counted , because he’s been out of the chase anyways
@Jesus Leon Oh no…this retirement tour is not going all that well. He is slow at Bristol and then suffers a heavy loss as his car gets DQ’d. At first I didn’t believe SHR is wasting Harvick’s final year, but now I believe they are.
@Evan Williams They are , honestly SHR has been a total crap show , if honestly they don’t do better by after 2024 , I feel they’ll need to do a manufacture change , and / or aric almirola retires this season or after 2024 or when he decides sell his charter ; SHR was a dominating team when they had chevy but obviously they were sourcing everything from HMS hendrick motorsports , Kevin knows SHR is not doing as good with ford ; probably why kevin harvick at this point he doesn’t really care much on how his end note final races and finishing his season is
@Evan Williams wouldn’t be surprised if kevin harvick as soon he’s retired his fleet personal vehicles he’ll switch to chevy lol , after all I can see him more of a GM person , he’s only ford because of Tony Stewart back in 2016 / 2017 making the agreement with ford to switch over ; other than that Kevin is a GM person , plus I feel that if kasey kahne yrs back in 2017 wasn’t with Hendrick Motorsports more than likely potentially kevin would’ve taken his seat , and also since he did race for JR Motorsports in xfinity series races yrs back when SHR was still chevy at the time and obviously both SHR and JR Motorsports had alliances with hendrick motorsports since theyre both Chevy teams at the time ( JR Motorsports obviously still is while SHR isn’t )
Honestly I’m a hendrick motorsports person myself , I’m a chase elliott fan
But I honestly wanted so bad to see Kevin harvick win this race , only because it’s major race
( I personally wanted to see him win daytona, which he didn’t finish a best finish there few weeks ago and Talladega , which at least I’ll give him credit finishing his 2nd place finish close finish , despite his own team screwing him over and officially getting him DQ , but it wouldn’t matter the DQ since he’s been out of the chase and it wouldn’t had benefitted him in any way the DQ , in my book he still finished a solid 2nd place regardless of the official standings ) im kinda glad honestly he didn’t win the race though tbh lol , that’s why im content with how he finished neck to neck with Ryan Blaney
It’s all bad that kevin is having his last year the crappiest year of his career smh , and honestly he even knows it and at this point he just doesn’t care about it sadly
Also part of the major flaws I also can see is tht Tony isn’t putting much priority on his nascar team and putting more emphasis on nhra , since he does race in nhra now , and is more focused in nhra , and another reason why SHR this year and past season are doing bad as a team , and basically Team Penske and RFK coming up now are the leading ford teams winning , even FRM front row motorsports is doing probably better than SHR , Riley herbst is racing part time from Front row Motorsports and Talladega race he didn’t do too bad , as well michael mcdowell win
Great move by Blaney!
Man, Blaney made a beautiful move in the backstraight
Blaney is a very underrated “plate” track driver. He sure does know how to make a finish exciting !
he really is. i went to the atlanta race the first time they converted it to be a superspeedway and he and elliott were the two guys that were noticibly making moves that just looked wild in the turns
Fr whenever I’m watching a plate race I always see him up front but he never seems to win
@Isaac Brenner He actually has 3 Dega wins and 1 Daytona
@Vladimir Blarp Ik he’s won but like the past few years he’s always challenging he is a top 5 plate racer in the cup series
career day for Riley Herbst. very impressive run
Never heard of him, who???
Hell yeah Blaney! Picked him to win after his finish last week, round of 8 lets gooo! Awesome finish!
Congratulations to Ryan Blaney on winning at Talladega. What a fantastic race and a photo finish.
Three times in this track that 12 car won on the photo finish was unbelievable.
One of the most electric crowds at the end of the race in a long time, really wish harvick won it lol
AMAZING RACING, AMAZING FINISH, AND OUTSTANDING COVERAGE NBC! THE CROWD, THE ENGINES, THE CAMERAS, AND THAT CALL! WOW!
