Is this the first race with Hardee's on the #23?

Yeap.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

We usually brought our own food. If we were coming from home, we'd make our own sandwiches. If we were staying in a hotel, we'd pick up Subway.

I only know them as Carl's Jr. one of my other alternate main sponsors.

 

[Spotter22]

I haven't been there (yet). If it's a thick slab, I'll pass. I'm not that big a fan of bologna.

Its thick lol

 

[Turtle84]

Hamlin is putting it on em'

Looks like Blaney has it hooked up and moving into the top5

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Larson up 7 spots on fresh tires.

Yeah we would do the same, we used to pick up a bucket of chicken from KFC in Conway on the way to Darlington

 

[Spotter22]

Larson up 7 spots on fresh tires.

Should we start talking about the race instead of food?

 

[Charlie Spencer]

KFC in Conway

At 501 and 378, by the bridge to the power plant? Been there many times in the '70s and '80s on the way to the beach.

Lost 9th to Berry, who looks like the best Ford outside of Blaney

Denny's up front.

 

[jaqua19]

I'm feeling a Denny, Ty and Blaney show down

 

[jaqua19]

Denny on the pole here is really tough to beat. Untouchable. Blaney is the only other guy who seems to be routinely as good.

 

[Brentford]

Denny's up front.

Denny’s… it’s always open!

I don't like saying it but Gibbs is going to win one this year.

 

[Michfan]

I hate stage racing

 

[Turtle84]

Baby Gibbs holding ground in 2nd. Kid's a talent.

I hate stage BREAKS.

Went to Richmond one time with a bucket of KFC. Was just me. Sat in the stands and someone behind me asked for a piece and gave me a couple beers. Turns out it was David Ragan's family.

Whether it was Richmond or Dover, it was always like a big family in the stands at the track.

 

[Turtle84]

The Colonel lived so we could Chicken

Denny Hamlin has been delivering a mid-90s Rusty Wallace/Robin Pemberton short track asswhooping today.

I remember back at a Truck race I went to in the early 2000s, i was still a kid then lol, the people behind us let me listen to their scanner for a bit. Was very cool.

SVG having a nice day

 

[LukeWatts05]

Lot of 3 wide moves today. Great mid pack racing

The two most painful experiences in sports:

Being an Amber Glenn fan in 2026.
Being a Josh Berry fan in 2026.

 

[jaqua19]

Josh Berry is a hack lol

Id argue the 2025 playoff experience for the 21 was worse.

Jags haven't kicked off yet.

I just hope that he isn't connected to evil Gibbs family that was involved with the origins of the Discocaust .

#DamnBeeGee's.

Your face is a hack.

They were just trying to stay alive!

This was how Darlington went down for me:

Two of my favorite bands were playing at different venues. I chose to stay home and watch the Southern 500.

Before the first lap of that race was complete, I had already turned the TV off and decided to make trips to both bars.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Jags haven't kicked off yet.

The Jags have William Trevor Lawrence. If he wasn't there, it would be oh so bad.

 

[LukeWatts05]

The 8 is up a ton of spots. Guess he made some good adjustments.

 

[LibertyU24]

All the changes, yet Martinsville stays the same.

 

[jaqua19]

I think Blaney may be better than Denny tbh.

 

[Turtle84]

Heading for a Hamlin Blaney showdown

 

[HoneyBadger]

All the changes, yet Martinsville stays the same.

The best race at Martinsville takes place in late September.
