LET F******** GOOOOKOKOOOOOOOOOK

 

[BobbyFord]

This car sucks. Plate race on a 1.5 is shameful.

 

[Naitch]

No idea what Ross was doing there.

 

[jaqua19]

You've seen me say it before. Larson may be the most talented, may have won more races than anyone these last 4 years and is generally the driver and team to beat...

But all things equal, whole package, NO ONE in the sport is better than Logano when he's locked in.

In a stock car? At their best? Give me Logano over EVERYONE else in this sport since 2000 outside of Gordon, Johnson, and Stewart.

That's right. He's better than KB too.

 

[BobbyFord]

They just need to figure out how to get pack racing on the road courses.

This race would suck regardless of the car. Remember, the track was built explicitly for pack racing.

 

[StandOnIt]

Heh, heh, heh. Looked like Wallace wrecked himself.

It’s starting to wear out enough that they can’t follow each other closely anymore. They’re aero blocking on a drafting track. By next year this place is going to be like the 550 package from 2020-2021

This race was mostly good pack racing. No idea why some of you have a Pavlovian hate for pack racing. It’s a style of racing.

Some watch so they can complain.

 

[jaqua19]

Can we all laugh at Denny Hamlin's ultra consecutive strategy to give up stage points.... Only to wreck and finish 24th?

…and they burned down Auto Club Speedway.

Dennis is a moron so not surprising.

 

[jaqua19]

Dennis is a moron so not surprising.

He's not a moron.

He just thinks he's too clever, and thinks he needs to be clever when he doesn't.

Denny is one of the best superspeedway racers of all time.

And he didn't race at all. Curious what @Revman has to say about this.

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

Thankfully the race ended with just enough time for me to watch Caitlin Clark deliver a dagger.

She's a stone cold badass

 

[jaqua19]

Larson is going to win one of the next two races.

 

[antman12]

Larsons the biggest loser today.

 

[SeventyGTX]

I f****** hate this racetrack

I don't like any track where they have to rely on others to go fast.

Didn’t he win the 500 by hanging out in the back all race?

She got ice water for veins.

Kyle Busch 16th in points before the carnival fudge up finishes in 7th.

Excellent pack track race, excellent playoff race. Full drama in the ATL today!

 

[Naitch]

He's not a moron.

The second point doesn’t disprove the first point. Dennis is a top tier driver and one of the best in the field today and would likely be a multiple time champion if not for his mental limitations. The guy gets into his own head too much.

[Hawaii808]

<—— look at my guy sneaking into the top 10

…aaaaah nevermind

[Nitro Dude]

Banner gets the bonehead award for sure!

And the most tv coverage. I wonder how much extra they paid for that.

If Roger were 20 years younger I’d beg him to buy out the France’s and run NASCAR

Many IndyCar fans are willing to discuss Roger's ownership with you.

 

[jaqua19]

Larsons the biggest loser today.

Shocking he's still 15 to the good.

I don't like any track where they have to rely on others to go fast.

Yeah. But that doesn't matter today.

I didn't say it did. You missunderstood me - I was somewhat agreeing with you.

I'm saying he's way too good of a drafting racer to have to think this hard about strategy

Penske started reducing his footprint in Nascar from way back when he sold them California Speedway.

Nah. He hasn’t done a great job with Indy to be honest

Couldn’t be worse than the France family.

Burning up green flag laps for a sign on the track.

Options were? Just leave it and hope it didn't get stuck over somebody's windshield? You saw the bumper cover on the roof yesterday right?
