Flirting With Disaster… Again | NASCAR Chicago Street Race Review & Analysis
67 comments
Kyle Busch finished P9…. his first top 10 since Kansas on May 5. My life is officially complete
Huge
Congrats man hope he can turn things around.
@@EricEstepphey
@@EricEstepp what race do you think would Kyle Busch would win this year
Not a big KB fan, but happy for his better finish. Would love to see him win one. I think his biggest problem this year has been RCR. He is a primo racer.
Chaotic but glad for bowman
Tyler Reddick needs to calm down
I feel he’s trying way too hard
Kinda like when Larson was at Ganassi
Agreed
And it doesn’t help that 23XI kinda sucks strategy wise
Larson still tries too hard. Look at what he just did in this race.
You mean Larson in general.
But yeah Reddick had plenty of time imo.
@@CVTaxias a Larson fan it’s sad and true.
Let’s also not ignore him smashing the barrels going on pit road and 75 other mistakes the last few years.
I aged 50 years after this race.
The Briscoe hate train is now at its highest after what happened
Dude I’m quite the opposite of a briscoe fan but loved seeing him take SVG out. Made it a lot more fun!
Such a shame a good team like the 19 will get this piece of s**t of a driver. From my favorite number for the driver to ignored and will finish midpack all weeks….
Did Briscoe do it intentionally?
love seeing people get on here bitching about how drivers can’t drive they had to something in racing some where to prove they could win to get to cup put everyone in equal cars like iroc. then you will see different guys win. 8:00
As soon as Larson and SVG were out I went to sleep. 6:30 am disappointment was not what I needed after the British GP
Yep, no reason to watch after that. NBC and NASCAR should be embarrassed, didn’t learn anything after last year.
All of Hendrick in the playoffs must be a huge relief for that organization
It’s that way every year. Usually by the first month of the season. Nascar guarantees it.
@@dmoran1093Chase Elliott didn’t make it last season as a driver either
@@dmoran1093 Only injury prevented it. Hard to drive one of the four fastest cars with a broken back.
NICE TRY DENNY ROCK WILL STILL POO ON YOUR PHONE
If they go back next year they desperately need to move up the start time.
NBC wanted to show the INDY race from 2:00 to 4:00.
@@GrandpaShark because that is much better race than this
@@charlieboyd4431it wasn’t I’m glad o’ward won but let’s be honest Indycar needs to bring back a few more ovals!
At this point. Do a Saturday race in the event of weather conditions. I’d rather see that and maybe lose a few viewers than chance it for the 3rd year in a row.
Nascar is just the weather channel at this point with how many times Mother Nature loves to follow them
Has NBC even gone one race this season without pulling up the radar at some point? I’m serious! They may as well have it on the broadcast 24/7 at this rate even when the sky looks absolutely perfect, just in case…
I haven’t watch the actual weather channel in 8 years I probably tune into it this coming weekend if Pocono is have chances for rain.
Shoutout to the #31 team. Despite Hemric being pretty underwhelming, his crew chief has put him in a respectful finishing position multiple times this year solely based on strategy.
That guy deserves a promotion to a better organization because he’s making lemonade out of his lemons
@@DepravedCoTApologist Fr tho, like Hemric will be running 27th or something, and then he’ll pull some strategy to get him finishing in the top 15
Hemric is the definition of mid
Fck the chiefs
The Street Course is like watching the Turkey Derby at Wall Stadium were those drivers Drive like they never been in a car before. Chase Briscoe and Josh Berry are good drivers but they should’ve just parked their cars for how many times they drove into the tire barrier.
Hey!! NJ guy here. My nephews race there
Major shoutouts to McDowell on this day, although I’d wager he was being a debbie downer in the post-race interviews, call it a hunch
Starts off terrible, pits first fearing the wet conditions to lose all track position (and I think he went a lap down at one point), all while his teammate Gilliland was hanging around in the Top 5. But after that 2nd stage ended it became a damn rocket ship, going from 26th to 5th with the race being shortened would be crazy at a Superspeedway, but he did it at this pretty tightly packed street course
Bubba has been taken out while running in the top 10 a total of 5-6 times this season no joke.
yeah dude can’t seem to catch a break this season
Same thing for truex man
Damn right and it’s sooooo annoying however as a bubba fan I would like to thank you for paying attention and seeing what’s actually going on with him it’s not him it’s bad luck it’s nascar it happens it’s normal and it sucks
@@BlACKCOFFEE2988 yeah but then there’s Richmond where he crashes out kyle or talladega where he takes out multiple Toyota teammates because he doesn’t know how to bump. It’s not just “wow Bubba unlucky.” It’s a combination of Bubba wrecking people AND him being in the middle of the pack where accidents happen.
If he was better in the car, he’d be where Reddick is in the front. However, his race is what is landing him in that 23 car instead of a better driver. So instead of them grabbing a driver that can take that top 10 car to a top 10 position, they have a top 30 driver taking a top 10 car to a 17th position.
Bubba looked for a pass on the outside. IN THE RAIN ! Yet Bowman still took the lick. Proud of Alex! And once again its poor Bubba.
And we all know Bubba won’t be punished
People don’t give Suarez the credit he deserves, like bro was running top 10, got involved in Bowman’s bs with Bubba, fell down to 38th and he still finished 11th.
Without all his trouble he could’ve finished well indeed the top 5
Same for bubba they both got screwed out of top 5’s yes I said it
Yeah after he dumped Elliott like a chump.
Suarez is garbage. I am not sure how you can defend his average finish in races. He shouldn’t be in that car. There are other more qualified drivers that could do much better.
NASCAR and NBC know there are no lights. NASCAR has to agree with the start time. It’s so stupid to have the race start that late especially with a track without lights.
You don’t disagree with your money hand on the start time
Bowman was much more deserving of the win than most people are giving him credit for. Dude had the second best average running position throughout the race, only beat by Ty Gibbs, and never dropped below 14th in the race (best “lowest position” of any driver in the field). Definite top 5 car but people will see how quickly Reddick caught up to him and not pay attention to the absolutely MASSIVE difference in tires the likes of which we’ve probably never seen on a road course before in cup.
In the threat of rain they should start out on rain tires. And run em till the course is dry. This switching from slicks to weather tires is b.s. let the team decide when to run em
@@PitbullN.C. the teams had the option to start on either tire at the beginning and was even given a free pace lap to decide.
Alex Bowman is underrated.
Great analysis. I appreciate comments like this.
People need to put respect on his name
So many people have called for SVG to get more experience on ovals in Xfinity before transitioning to Cup.. Yet he’s still able to pass guys and consistently finish in the top 15 on ovals without crashing and taking people out.. Unlike these so called best drivers in the world who can’t keep their car underneath them when the roads wet. Now ya’ll gonna cry.. ‘they have no experience in the wet” Well now you know what SVG is up against and the stella job he’s doing with no experience on ovals, but he’s doing a much better job than these top tier cup guys by not crashing, not taking others out and finishing races.
SVG’s been about as expected on ovals but let’s not act like he hasn’t made mistakes either. Wasn’t that long ago Iowa gave him fits. So just take a chill pill
Not sure if your American or not but I’d encourage you to check out different types of short track racing, most top level talent is priced out of NASCAR now a days.
Dirt sprint cars and late models have a really high level of talent at the national scene, as do pavement modifieds. Flo racing and World of Outlaws yt pages are a good place to start
Check out professional dirt track racing like the other guy said. NASCAR has been losing out on most top drivers for awhile now
I agree. He sits around learning for 2 stages then starts letting it all hang out in third stage and passes a bunch of cars.
He proves these guys aren’t that good
