I was recording the last two laps, almost tears in my eyes thinking I was about to capture his first win of the season… only for the end of the recording to be of the floor of the grandstands and me cursing the universe out. I wanted to be happy for Burton, but I was too deep in my mourning of KFB’s close win.

You mean a race where they were just driving around double file for 150 laps (because nobody can make a change to the car or drive a line to get out ahead) then everyone makes YOLO moves because the manipulated championship structure does not reward someone who might be ok finishing 3rd or 4th or in the top 10? so they wreck just about every single race?

@nathanakers45 August 25, 2024 at 11:29 am

You’re right, Jeff rarely ever commentates on Harrison on screen. Even after the win he said very little, so to see that big physical celebration as Harrison crossed the line was very cool.

3 races of the year! Harrison doesn’t deserve a spot in the playoffs, but that was so cool to see him win, and Jeff celebrating with him and the Wood Brothers’ getting their 100th win. Leigh Diffey had the call of the year. Shades of 1993 when Ned called his son home in the 500 and DW calling his brother home in 2001. Family means everything.

Gotta commend Eric on the video for how well edited it is and how quickly he was able to get it out.

Don’t think anyone’s really hating on Burton or Wood Brothers. We all dislike the ‘Win & You’re In’ system.

The fact that there’s a legitimate chance that a driver could finish 2nd EVERY race in the season and not make the playoffs because in 26 races we potentially had 16 different winners and a few of them might have been guys who have been on average finishing 25th, just got super lucky with a bunch of wrecks.

The ’30th or Higher in Points’ rule is a band-aid but if you want the best drivers, best teams competing for the title? The ‘Win & You’re In’ system needs to go.

The problem is NOT that Harrison is in 34th and won and made the playoffs, it’s that there’s even a playoff system so that this can happen. Instead of Harrison getting all the attention for his win, we now have to discuss this stupid system that lets almost half the field get in. It’s a farce, but almost no one has the backbone to say so! Congrats to the Wood brothers on 100 wins.
