What storylines do you see from Vegas that can continue on through the season?
Chase Elliot is a fraud
Ross working his way through the field for a top 5 after getting kicked to the rear for a penalty.
It’s gonna be interesting to see if Gragson can keep performances like his one at Vegas up. It’s promising at the very least.
Man… I sure hope he can.
I definitely think he’s a much better race car driver than most people consider him to be. Could be an awesome year
I’m intrigued to see how Spire does the rest of the season after their great performance this weekend.
Let’s not forget Briscoe was up there as well and qualified sixth. And that Gregson was second fastest in practice. We didn’t see any of that mile and a half for SHR last year. Not even with Harvick.
I agree, it’s a good sign. Now they have to focus on lineup stability and not risk losing Briscoe to rival teams
@@camillaquelladegliaggettiv4303 i highly doubt as long as tony owns the team that briscoe would ever leave. Tony was his idol growing up and now he gets to drive the car ge rooted for. I think it would take tony selling for briscoe to leave
@@ThatTruckerCarGuy Briscoe is still a race car driver. He may be driving for his idol but if the car sucks he won’t be staying
Lajoie racking up another solid top 40! In all seriousness he looked “racy” but Lajoie has run bad for soooo long and he hasn’t won anything since ARCA. I’m going to have to see Corey actually do something and finish before I believe it.
Yeah until he actually does something, I don’t want to hear about him. He should be on the hot seat this year.
NASCAR needs Gragson’s personality
So the fans can boo him like they do Bubba Wallace, Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin, and every driver with even a hint of flavor in personality? Yeah, that’ll go real well
No NASCAR doesn’t need him. He needs NASCAR to stay out of trouble just like his dad.
@@S.K.R.E.Inc. Exactly. NASCAR fans are just like WWE fans. Want to piss them off? Give them exactly what they want.
@@S.K.R.E.Inc.it’s horrible honestly. But then half the crowd wears Chase Elliott shirts and that dudes got the personality of a wet blanket.
Pretty ok race. I mean larson had the dominant car and the only One who had pace to keep up was Reddick. Bummer that Reddick finished 2nd but he’ll win one of the RC’S or Kansas. I mean. Even with the Field at COTA Wrecking each other he somehow someway survived and Won last season.
As a chevy fan. Im happy to see the Bowties go 3 for 3 to Kick off 2024. But the same time I’ve seen everyone seem to worry about The 48 and 9 while the 24 and 5 are up front and fans asking why does HMS focus on Larson and Byron this this and that yadi yadi yada. I mean to Be fair. Elliott at Vegas is Hit and miss Plus He usually tends to Start his seasons relatively slow. It’s always been that way ever since he started winning. While Larson Byron and Bowman usually win Mega early in the season. But when the months of April May June come by that’s when Elliott starts going. If we get to those months and nothing changes then its the time to Push the Panic button and start being concerned
never thought i’d see the day where a nascar youtuber gave austin dillon some sort of respect
Unfortunately, that was bound to happen sometime
I couldn’t believe it
Corey Lajoie had The Best Non-Superspeedway performance of his career before it went to s**t at the end
Idk why so many people ignore Chastain. He’s probably the most motivated driver out there and desperate for a championship, and I think he’s shown that he’ll be there in the end yet again. But for some reason we’re talking about how good Gragson did of all people
They’re all Hendrick drones, whatever they say, they follow. Especially after their rant at Darlington last year. Chastain has the potential, it was shown at Phoenix last year where he was refusing to give up the lead to anyone, we need more of that
@@S.K.R.E.Inc. Chastain has shown championship potential every race this year. He’s been so entertaining to watch
People ignore Chastain because people don’t like his driving style which is the only reason.
@@runrafarunthebestintheworld he drives just like Dale did
Pretty sure Spire is just getting more support all around. Hendrick and Trackhouse both have interests there, so it makes sense that they likely got some upgrades.
If Nascar is to see a Netflix effect it will be seen in increased views and subs to NASCAR YouTubers
Gibbs was one person not mentioned in this video and he raced amazingly. Got held up in the pits and still got a top 5 finish. He’s almost guaranteed a playoff spot at this point
He’s definitely a guaranteed/near guaranteed for the playoffs. I don’t root for him but the talent is there. Anyone that watches can see it. I don’t care about whether he was spoiled. I care about what I see on the track.
I actually expect him to get a win this year and it wouldn’t surprise me if he snuck in another.
In regards to SHR, Briscoe was also in the mix, sometimes even in the top three most of the day. Not sure if a ln incorrect adjustment was made after the last round of pit stops or what happened but then he kind of dropped like a rock, but again a vast majority of the day he was a real contender. Definitely bodes well for SHR if they can keep showing up with good speed.
I’ve come around to Gragson. I originally thought he was annoying but I think he’s just one of those airy goofy fun loving types. I won’t say I’m a fan but I am rooting for him to have a good return. He did more in Vegas than he did all last season combined.
It’s amazing how many competitive teams there are this year. Any given week it feels like you can’t count out half the field.
bro bubba was fast at vegas until he had a pit road issue with a tire, dont do my boy dirty
