To be fair Preece recently has consistently been running top 15 except for Kansas

Yeah he has 4 top 20s in a row

lot of his results were getting caught up in wrecks and some mechanical failure

Hendricks fan?

@Mtk Macktheking absolutely not. Being a Hendrick fan is probably awesome right now unless Elliott is your favorite driver

Suarez is a real disappointment to me so far this year, i really thought he’d be enjoying his breakout season

id replace him as a driver and amirola needs to retire as well

Alan Canela Flores June 16, 2023 at 9:21 pm

There have been races he’s been in the top 10 but bad luck or driver mistakes have taken him down, I still have hopes for the remaining half of the season, at least a win in a road course or a superspeedway

Suarez is the definition of a mid driver. Does OK. Hard to replace without spending big $$$$$

He really is though that 51/15 when he’s driving it has pretty consistently finished on the lead lap in so many races this year.

Rick is buying the flip engines from RFK while operating out of their shop now. That alone seems to have been a massive improvement for their running order and qualifying speed.

I really hope people did not bully Ross into becoming more calm on the track. Watching him be so chaotic and reckless is honestly so fun to watch and we have needed a driver like that who is different from everyone else for so long. Everyone whines about “no personality” in the sport but when we finally get it, they complain and it want it gone. Ross Chastain got here and runs up front because of his extreme aggression and imo he shouldn’t calm down at all. Idc how stupid it can get at times. It also helped lead to the iconic hail melon

Reply
BikeScout22 June 16, 2023 at 7:11 pm

Your right. It’s what makes Chastain special

I'm in your closet June 16, 2023 at 7:23 pm

The main problem is you don’t wanna make too many enemies, otherwise no one will give you a chance to win

Reply
fallenfetus June 16, 2023 at 7:30 pm

On the contrary, I’d argue it’s his personality that rubs people the wrong way. His constant apologies and promises to cut down on his mistakes after wrecking someone keep me, at least, from liking him. I’m sure I’m not the only one. If he embraced the villain role I think he’d have a larger fanbase.

W to RCR and Busch

It’s also probably a W to JGR, we can’t act like Gibbs isn’t in the midst of maybe the best rookie season in over a decade and the rest of the team isn’t absolutely crushing it

A comment from Kyles Sonoma win this year comes to mind every time I see Kyle doing well.

It was “Joe Gibbs punching air.” And the mental image is perfect.
Kyle knows he’s replaceable now, it’s humbled him a little and a blow to his ego. This is not a man who will take a blow to said ego laying down.

Even if he doesn’t get the championship, I want to see that 5 win season just to make Joe Gibbs sweat

As an Erik Jones fan, this season has been painful. Legacy Moter Club seems like that whole organization is cursed.

I’d like to challenge the Almirola is “not as committed” line. He did just beat Larson in the Xfinity race, which seems mightily committed. SHR equipment is simply trash.

I’m a Truex and Blaney fan who during the clash made a bet Busch was winning the championship, This could be a very interesting playoff for me

Hi, resident Justin Haley fan here!
Would like it to be known that we have had top 20 speed almost every weekend this year. However, pit road has been HORRENDOUS for us this year, many bad pit calls as well as just slow pit stops. Kaulig’s program is building and while the finishes haven’t shown it we’ve had a damn good season so far!

Eric Estepp June 16, 2023 at 8:48 pm

Good to know! Thanks for the comment.

Joseph Barnes June 16, 2023 at 8:13 pm

Most of Larson’s issues have been of Chastain’s doing.

Reply
Travis June 16, 2023 at 11:24 pm

Except for the gateway, he had a tire go flat on him while battling for the win. And Sonoma, what did happen to him cause he was not even mentioned or even a factor in that race

Reply
Branden Curtin June 16, 2023 at 11:29 pm

Dover yes, but mostly on larson and team. Mistakes like hitting wall or speeding on pit road. I believe Daytona is somewhat on him. I don’t know what the deal with Auto Club, Nascar or team? I kind of think team. Some on Denny Hamlin for that wreck. He was terrible after running into preece at Bristol dirt. I’m more mad at Denny.

Branden Curtin June 16, 2023 at 11:31 pm

⁠@Travis ran in top 15 but I believe fell off last laps

@Branden Curtin don’t forget Talladega & Darlington. Aric blowing a tire in Atlanta while Larson was in 2nd.

Being totally honest i would not be shocked if we saw Ricky Stenhouse make the round of 8 or even the final 4 with how consistent he is compared to the top guys i think if he makes it past the round of 16 he’ll make the round of 8

John June 16, 2023 at 8:57 pm

The talk that Justin Marks had with Chastain did the team/driver no favors.

I had Justin Haley as an upset pick for the playoffs this year, but so far I’ve been way off. Thanks to Stenhouse for blowing it up immediately.

Reply
MyDogFulton June 16, 2023 at 9:46 pm

Stenhouse is having a great year. I hope Legacy and Saurez can turn their seasons around.

Reply
JJ June 17, 2023 at 12:17 am

Hot take but if Gilliland was in the 38 the whole year he’d be a sneaky playoff contender.
And FRM as a whole is a good pit crew away from being yearly playoff contenders. Imagine mcdowell had Blake Harris still, I think there’s a good chance he’d make the playoffs. McDowell honestly should have won Sonoma he had the speed to keep up with Truex
