Congrats to Joey on the W. That was a great finish. Just good, clean, hard racing.
As has already been said, props to Ross Chastain on that interview. He made mistakes and owned up to it. That doesn't happen very often. Good on him.
My man Hamslice's calm reaction was a pleasant surprise, too. I'm sure Jamie telling him that Ross took responsibility for his mistakes probably helped in that regard.
Ross should keep his head up. He clearly has the talent to compete in this series. Like Denny said, all these guys have been the n00b at some point. He'll learn and grow from this moving forward.

Good interview by Kyle B.
The pit crew wasn’t there on those last two restarts.

But they gained him a lot of spots to put him in position

I wonder in JGR misses Jones yet? He's doing a lot with a whole lot less

He had probably the 4th best car after the 12, 22 and 19.
KB was once good enough to hold on for 2 laps with a 4th place car.

This car is a POS. No horsepower, porcelain suspension, no notes.

No notes is the best part of it all.
Car certainly needs improvement, but its a hell of a lot better the past few seasons.

The toe-link is designed to fail first.
Much easier and much less expensive to replace than anything else back there.
2019 was awesome. I doubt we’ll ever get back there.

I'll just deal with the teething issues.
Removing the diffuser for short tracks would be interesting prospect.

yes but make it a quick change unit, like having a flat tire.

The rear toe link is designed to fail…and it does.

It's not a third member anymore, be pretty stupid to let a small collision to damage the transaxle.

Erik Jones is a hell of a wheel man. Just carrying GMS-Petty, he’s in playoff position I think the last I checked my nascar app.

I’m biased, but I think it’s pretty apparent JGR and TRD kept the wrong one.
Just pointing out facts.

Pretty much a sideways move if comparing Jones to Bell IMO. Bell is in 10th and Jones is in 15th. Jones is car handicapped. JGR supposedly big on development doesn't let the drivers hang around long enough to see if they are going to work out or not. I think Bell will get better, this is his best year in cup so far.

Not to me, I'm glad Jones escaped the loony bin myself

Nothing against Bell, but money gets the ride not talent

Bell is damn good too. He’s run very very well this year, and going to win multiple races during this season I’d bet

The sponsors Bell has all preceded him at Gibbs, maybe I missed it but what sponsors did Bell bring with him to JGR?
Well that would be an effortless task.
