Blaney speeding on pit road…big mistake in crunch time.

I don’t see Trackhouse dumping Suarez. It’s more likely they expand for Smith.

Very possible.

I was just being a smart*ss cus I wanna see Zane in a good ride.

 

[FLRacingFan]

About 40 more races till Zanes driving that 99.

Definitely feels like he needs to regain form next year with Shane and Zane contracted now. Trackhouse have seemed lost much of this year, but he’s still too far off from Ross.

Shane needs to prove he can drive ovals at a competitive level before we talk about him replacing Suarez.

The pressures certainly on for him..

If Shane proves to have a bigger competitive advantage on road courses I don’t think it matters as much as people think. Not with win-and-in.

Factor the matter is Suarez has had three years and is going to finish about 20th or worse in two of them so far.

With all the trouble the other playoff guys have had, Bubba finishing in the top 5 is huge here.

Hocevar just got a big piece of the wall.

Learning experience. That’s a terrible aero spot with this car

 

[FLRacingFan]

SHR have all four cars within the top 15 or so on an intermediate for what feels like the first time all season.

 

[Efisher131]

NASCAR should offer a playoff point for most laps led

 

[jaqua19]

Larson is as curious as ive ever heard him about tirewear, and what they find after "cutting" into them.

A bit interesting.

He’s nervous. Look at his career history. He should be

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Was at that 200th win at Darlington, Wild this could be #300

 

[Blaze]

Imagine if they didn’t get that win with Bodine and HMS shut down. How different NASCAR would be.

RWR caution

His career history is he wins races

 

[Charlie Spencer]

RW(sb)R double-header.

 

[Naitch]

Bubba is going to get screwed by his lack of playoff points. You HAVE to win stages in the regular season and/or finish in the top 10 in points.

 

[jws926]

RWSBR caution x2

 

[nascarwoman]

Another restart.

 

[Efisher131]

He should have like 40 wins but he chokes or something happens. And this RWSBR caution might be what happens today.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Wonder if some guys towards the rear come down to take an extra set here. About 30 laps on these.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Glad I'm not a CC.

I would want tires. You’re not catching the 5 without going off strategy from him.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Not wild about pitting here

No reason to stay out if Larson did. Not going to win doing what he's doing.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Not who I expected to come down, tbh.

Lots of guys who stayed out they have to work through now, with not much time to do so.

 

[Spotter22]

Jones wtf man!

 

[Speedbowl14]

I don't think pitting is the move here. Tires have meant about as much as ice cubes in the Arctic Circle.

Larson has been a rocket ship. You’re not catching him doing what he does. If you want to win the race, you have to go off strategy.

 

[Conover]

Can’t believe Jones pitted running 2nd, AND can’t believe they took 4 tires. Tires are not helping you jump 15 spots here in a handful of laps….

The gerbils are going to wear out Bubba, they do it every year to the last place "cut line" driver. Truth be told Wallace doesn't have a prayer of winning the Championship.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

I could stand to see Harv come through here throwing elbows.

 

[Naitch]

Actually never mind…

A lot more guys stayed out than I thought.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

No fault of Bubba's!!!!
