That would be so delicious, and a Kenseth moment for sure. The Chase/Playoffs are a product of people being bored with Kenseth's title, so maybe the change we need will come from the points leader missing the playoffs. We can only hope.
Someone slap the jukebox, it's skipping again.
That's a rookie call.
Same thing can be said of you and some other 9 fans that think the world and NASCAR are against your driver and you........over and over and over and over.......
Absolutely. Actually he is in the top 5 of the best drivers out there today, being aggressive with this car is a necessity. Darlington is a tough place and when you put that many cars going into the corners at this track that practically funnels to one groove this stuff will happen and before anyone says "well you just let off and let them go" you just guaranteed a loss of multiple positions and killed your track position. Truex and Chastain are fantastic drivers but when you are in a position to keep yourself in the top 5 or take the lead you cant let up.
It's not any different than the long list of folks that think NASCAR shows favoritism towards him, over and over and over again. We all exist in the same threads.
Maybe you are not one of the worst offenders. But there are some 9 fans that act as if the spirit world, NASCAR, God, Hendrick, Gustaffson, pit crew, NBC/Fox, and every NASCAR fan is working against Chase and his fans.
Uh, no.
And Ross ran him into it before that. It’s why Ross asked “are we even?” Ross wouldn’t ask that if he ain’t do something already.
I seriously doubt that.
Not from NASCAR, but his legacy would get a ding. Who'd want the discussion about your exit from the sport to be about how you wrecked someone out of a championship?
I think Harvick, Joey, Busch and Elliot would get payback. Not Kenseth Logano payback but I truly believe those drivers would give it back to him if he crossed the line with those them. Joey has said previously if you cross the line with him he’ll retaliate (Byron last year). And one thing I like about Elliot is if somebody wrongs him he seems to take a shot right back at the person as soon as he can then moves on from it. Doesn’t let it fester like some of these guys.
I said that watching live. He knew he was borked, so he made damn sure the 1 didn't keep going too. He stayed in the gas long after they left the wall too, pushing the 1 make a quarter mile (it felt like) while he had him t-boned. I'd love to see that throttle trace.
Listen to Justin Marks on Dave Moody's Sirius show this afternoon. He certainly had lost the "Trackhouse won't back down" bravado. If you really listened to what Dave and Justin both said (without directly saying), I think that Mr. Hendrick and Chevy brass have stepped in. Moody even asked Justin about Mr. H, Cliff Daniels, and some others have said in the media last night and then started asking Marks about Chevy support and not angering HMS or RCR.
Larson flatted a couple of Ross's tires doing that.
Kenseth-Logano, anyone?
Pretty sure Toyota would find room for Trackhouse if the opportunity came along.
Agreed. Ford needs another crown jewel with Penske and RFK as well. The other OEMs would probably be right there to swoop them up, but it would be fun watching Trackhouse have to sit in the corner and suck a la Legacy for a season and a half.

As payback for the restart before that
They only have to give him a hard time on the very last race to make sure he doesn't win a championship. In reality, just make sure another of the final 4 crosses the line ahead of him on the last lap and that can be done with no penalty by just running a 4 wide road block.
Looked that way to me. I just think he wanted to make sure Ross was out, and it worked.
I knew the chap would be heavy, since Ross and the Jockey went into turns 1 and 2 hard for the win. Like Reddick said on Sirius today, “whoever came out of that turn in front would win”. He didn’t impale Ross. He commented on how it could have happened on the earlier restart when Jockey banged into Ross and put him into the wall. It’s two hard charging drivers going for a win.
Hendrick was a complete jacka$$ for making his snide whining comments. Now it becomes clear he is threatening to imperil the supply of HMS support to Trackhouse (at least the way Marks made it sound and per everyone else’s similar perceptions captured here). How the harry is THAT copacetic NASCAR? The jockey has wrecked plenty of people on his way to wins or attempts. So has Logano, so has KDB, so have most strong drivers.
Ross is getting much better. He was way too aggressive early and during the first stage of his time with the #1 last year. He races hard, and drivers are using this against him to always point and say ”nah nah na nah nah”
And Ross ran him into the fence a restart prior. Larson's was retaliation for an earlier incident.
Yeah, I don't see much deliberate payback. I think Larson dooring him was his attempt at payback.
