Haley?

Buescher at Pocono, Haley wasn't an official rookie last year

Yeah of official rookies it has to be that. Cause we’ve had 3 since 09. Just Buescher was the only one running for rookie of the year when he won.

Trevor Bayne is the other by the way. But like Haley wasn’t an official rookie.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Good question. Logano was '09, I'm struggling to think of a rookie that has won since

I thought Joey was a rookie in 08? Haley might be it

Harv is so good

That's gotta be it. He was part time, but still a rookie

I think it was Buescher. Bayne and Haley weren’t officially rookies when they won. “Pre-rookies” if you will.

Was Buescher a rookie in '16?

According to a list I found. It has him listed as a rookie winner in 16. So yes. It it also has Trevor mentioned in 11.

It came out in 17. So any since won’t be on the list.

Nice recovery by Chase. Would love for him to win this.

Tony was still there in '08.

So I guess it was Bayne or Buescher (or both). They should have told us

Is the body damage helping the 2?

could be a small amount of beneficial damage, he was fastest on lap averages in practice though. His left side did look a little parachuted to me but not by much. fair game tire clearance.

 

[jaqua19]

The closer is the fastest car on the track. Mr Harvick. As if we expected anything else.

I hope this race is better from the stands...

I’m not getting my hopes up. Getting back into contention is the first step, masterfully done.

Passing the top 10 cars this late into the race when everyone is tuned the fastest and there’s really only 1 groove is a totally different monster.

All races are better from the stands.

Erik Jones has not had a good start to the season

 

[HoneyBadger]

This is so much fun.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Need one more caution soon

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Are we gonna get green flag pit stops?

D’Hondt just said it’s not rubbing. Chase just said it got tight

 

[jaqua19]

Not gonna happen without a yellow

Not gonna happen at all imo without a bit of luck/pit road luck. Harv is dialed in, Phoenix. Tough to beat him here when you and he are even on the stop watch.

Please prevent the 22 from winning.

Almirola needs to grow a pair and he would have a better day

Or the 22 and 4 do the Lord’s work and take each other out

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Harvick taking Joey to school on that one. Stalking Joey with a faster car and waiting until hitting lappers to make the pass and pick him.

 

[Joker]

Are you ****** kidding me? Harv had this!

 

[StandOnIt]

Perfect..sorry Jones Tire time

 

[Turtle84]

Dang I like that Interstate Batteries paint scheme tho

I actually need them to either lose or gain one here so if they wanna screw up that's not so bad. Cannot start on the inside here
