Would Nascar officials police that though? Usually if there’s a scuffle nascar folks are the first ones intervening

Whoops. I'm a knucklehead and didn't read the full quote and thought it was about something else he recently said.

My bad.

Carson Hocevar eviscerates Mexico City NASCAR race weekend: 'Such a sh*thole'

Carson Hocevar seemed to have a lot of issues with the NASCAR Cup Series race at Mexico City weekend.

Decent apology, including the shout-out to Stenhouse. If he wrote it himself, he could actually be maturing. A lot of us forget that we were pretty ignorant at that age too.

Like D Jr. said, Larson shouldn’t have gotten any points for fastest lap in this clown, circus format.

Yeah - I think that horse has been beaten to death. This format is just a stupid joke. Credit to the 5 bunch for finding a way to exploit it though. Also - no disrespect to SVG as he's probably the best road racer I've ever seen but he's not good enough elsewhere to be a playoff driver but then this format comes along and welcome to the playoffs. Chase drove one of his best races of the year and it feels empty and hollow to me since all that matters is winning and he got no playoff points. No one out there had a shot at SVG.

Yep, it's a gimmick rule but we can't fault a team for taking advantage of it when possible. I never thought much of the old 'point for leading a lap'. I thought it encourage too much staying out under caution. If revived (and there's no sign of it), it should be a point for leading a lap under green only, not yellows.

SVG was hired by Trackhouse to get his car in the Chase each year and help them collect a bigger chunk of the team money by doing what he did in Mexico City. That's how the sport is structured so that's what you're gonna get.

Big bucks for teams that hit the jackpot. They say Burton's win last year that put the Wood Brothers in the playoffs was worth over 3 million spread out over three years.

Formula for winning that award......Box 1: Personality, Box 2: Talent.....Chasey is running out of boxes. Enter Noah Gragson.....Box 1, no Box 2. Winner.

JHN has no bidnis in a Cup car.

He continues to improve.

He has his moments, but I honestly think Legacy as a whole is getting there week by week. Does he have his moments where he's a dart with no feathers, yeah.

However, most of the season he's been quietly putting together consistent performances. I was worried about him, but I think he's getting it.

Okay, Rev, "He's fourth in points with 32 chartered drivers behind him, including all but one Toyota driver?"
