Christ on a cracker

What a ****** up day for the 48. Shoulda had this race won.

He's locked in, don't worry.lol

I wonder if Rick could pull something off to make Alex his "fifth car".

Like a Truex type of role with maybe HScott, which I think he's shutting down, or talk to Levine Family Racing to get Alex into a second car. They lost funding with Thrivent Financial leaving McDowell next year as a sponsor. The guy certainly has talent, he just needs a sponsor to get off the ground. Honestly, that's the issue as always... Money.

Honestly, I would rather see Rick send Kasey off to a satellite team and put Bowman in the 5 car.

Can't wait to hear who Austin Dillon blamed for that

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Even the pit strategy is sponsored?

Oh jesus mary

 

[DSquad48]

He's locked in, don't worry.lol

Wins are still nice

 

[Kiante]

So much of the "revenge" on Harvick this weekend, eh?

 

[jws926]

Can't wait to hear who Austin Dillon blamed for that

No doubt it will be Harvick

 

[RowdyBusch]

All these wrecks from a bogus debris caution

 

[lisa]

I'm sorry but whatever Dale Jr's ex crew chief name is, really gets on my nerves. He doesn't shut up.

Letarte

and I've got a hella headache, so forgive me for bitching.

NBC desperatley looking for another Kenseth/Logano moment

 

[Racer1930]

...and while all this is going on...Clint Boyer is hatching a plan

Letarte

I didn't dislike him as a crew chief, but I'm already tired of him in the booth.

Sadly Harvick is getting revenge on himself by not being in the lead today.

 

[RowdyBusch]

Wow.. A real caution!

Only happened because they bunched them up for "debris"

 

[ChexOrWrex]

OHBOY NASCAR NONSTOP UNDER CAUTION YEEHAWW

*Fingers crossed for Monster Energy sponsorship*

 

[DSquad48]

Really hope Alex can pull this off

That outback steak looks delicious, mmmmmm

 

[ChexOrWrex]

In b4 Bowman win before Elliott

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Letarte does tend to get excited and talk too fast. On Twitter, he's even said that he needs to work on that.

 

[DSquad48]

In b4 Bowman win before Elliott

Right? Chase is my boy but a Bowman win would be amazing

 

[jws926]

That outback steak looks delicious, mmmmmm

Dont be fooled, ate there a couple of months ago and probably one of the worst steaks I have had.

 

[DSquad48]

Brilliant insight by NBC. The only reason the 48 crew is repairing the car is because JJ is being a hard ass...

 

[jws926]

Everyone abroad the Bowman hype train , seats are filling up fast

Serious note, yes, I too would sort of like to see Bowman win today too

 

[DSquad48]

Dont be fooled, ate there a couple of months ago and probably one of the worst steaks I have had.

No doubt. I wouldn't get anything but maybe a burger from a chain restaurant like that.

A tweet to Dale Jr. ---
Dylan LaFave‏@BodinLa
@DaleJr @AlexBRacing now you know how we feel for you every weekend!!!

Dale's response--

Dale Earnhardt Jr. ‏@DaleJr 21m21 minutes ago
I just realized that. I have a new level of appreciation for @NASCAR fans. This is gut wrenching.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. ‏@DaleJr 25m25 minutes ago

It's phenomenal. Im nervous as hell for him.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

This weeks 30 lap caution brought to you by brian france 180 proof

 

[DSquad48]

Everyone abroad the Bowman hype train , seats are filling up fast

Serious note, yes, I too would sort of like to see Bowman win today too

Hard to hate on a first time winner

 

[blanston]

Yep. Very subpar.

 

[jws926]

Hard to hate on a first time winner

Agree, I very much love seeing first time winners.

 

[Pat]

Letarte does tend to get excited and talk too fast. On Twitter, he's even said that he needs to work on that.

He also starts pitching his voice higher and higher. It is annoying.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Are we setting up for a logano v kenseth win & in situation in the final laps?

Haaaaaaa

 

[RowdyBusch]

Jaques debris has been kind to Kyle today, he would be back in 12th half a lap behind right now.

 

[jws926]

Im guessing the last round of pit stops, the 18 team put some NOS energy drink in the car

 

[Kiante]

Serious note, yes, I too would sort of like to see Bowman win today too

Been talking up about him for the longest, I still remember he raced for RAB Racing and finished extremely well compared to larger teams a couple of years back. They were a really small team for him to finish top 10 in points.

 

[jws926]

OH please Matt, dont wreck JoLo, that would help Kyle make into the final four

 

[Michfan]

20 gets by the 22 and the 18 is coming

 

[Racer1930]

....and somewhere in Tennessee D.W. is thinking "I think I would pit for four fresh Goodyears about now"

 

[ChexOrWrex]

If anyone is dumbfounded as to why ratings are plummeting, this is a primary reason.
