Exactly what it was. Doing what he could to get the best finish he could.

Which is what you're supposed to do

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

That was a fun race listening on radio. Can’t wait to go back and watch what I missed on DVR

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Just reporting what I heard on radio.

That wasn't the only criticism posted here over the last couple of laps.

 

[Spotter22]

You needed to off strategy to catch the 5 and Jones was far enough up in the field that they had no way of knowing how many would stay out. They also had no way of knowing that Larson would put himself in the fence.

Staying out was the no win situation, given the information available at the time.

Pitting was a " no win situation" my friend. Track position was king.

It's absolutely insane.

But Seriously Wallace didn't have any thing for Larson. Larson could have waited, he did that to himself.

Byron won a race on my Birthday last month. And now he wins just two days after my car gets stolen! Always comes in clutch when I need/want it the most!

Whenever you have a major life event during race season let me know and I'll put it all on Byron

Just kidding, hope everything turns out ok

I'm just reporting what I saw on the onboard cam. Dude was aimlessly all over the race track. Nothing like what happened with Larson like some want to say.

 

[Spotter22]

I'm so sick of Byron lucking into ****** wins.

Switching this **** off. What a joke.

See ya next weekend!

Bubba, how did you lose that one???

He almost wrecked himself off of the nose of the 24 into turn 3 on the restart lap, and his momentum was shot from there.

That wasn't the only criticism posted here over the last couple of laps.

I did think he saw what happened to Larson and tried to repeat it. I can’t tell if you’re pointing at me. I didn’t see what he did to the 9 because tv didn’t catch it.

There’s a certain segment of the fanbase that will always criticize Bubba. The guy could race like Mark Martin and people would attack him for “not caring enough.”

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

This year watching Brad has been the most fun I’ve had as a fan of his in years but Matt McCall’s strategy calls this year have been frustrating. No benefit to making that pit stop

he was a featherless dart and blamed the 14 in interview. It is what it is.

At some point, it's not luck.

William Byron is one of the most talented drivers I've ever watched. When he ran Late Models, he was better than Chase Elliott in the races I saw them compete head-to-head in.

And the NextGen car is designed to emulate the type of racing you'd see on iRacing. Which, because of his background, benefits William Byron more than literally any other driver in the history of the sport.

He's not winning because of luck. He's winning because he's the most consistent driver since Mark Martin, he puts himself in position, and he's the king of close-quarters racing and shootouts.

At this point, he's the best driver in NASCAR.

He supposed to be happy?

 

[Turtle84]

WILD last 50 laps. Time to go get some oxygen then re-watch it again lol

 

[34R7H130UND]

Bubba needs some anti-depressants. Dude did good.

 

[Nitro Dude]

The Kid and the Watermelon Man... and HMS number 300.

Lets leave out the part where he said he(14) did what he’s supposed to do.

Could have gone without seeing Rick Hendrick wearing the big hat

 

[The Nature Boy]

Bubba would be a championship contender if he could get out of his own head. The guy is incredibly talented.

I feel for the man tbh. I understand how it is. You come so close to doing something, then make a mistake. **** sucks.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Those big hats are really stupid. But golly that’s a hard hit for Larson, I hope he doesn’t have concussion symptoms as the week goes on

I'm not a huge fan, but like him and today he won on my birtday.

Good race, honestly.

Last caution killed it, but he said it best himself earlier this week. That's the rollercoaster of anxiety, it will have the highest of highs. Sometimes the lows are just as bad, depending on the person, the floor will be different.

Good win for Willy B, Chastain needed a shot in the foot as well. Bubba did great, can't get it right all the time. Re-rack them for the next few weeks and get the most out of it.

 

[AdoubleU24]

I don't buy it.

Talladega

If Larson gets caught up next week I promise you some others around him in points will too. Then just go have a solid run at the Roval which he should do.

I don't wanna see this phoning it in stuff just to have you back on here in a few weeks when he inevitably makes the final 4 lol.

3 wide at Texas for the win. What is this world coming too lol. Hell of a race!

Sure. I could say he's due for a good finish at Talladega.

But I'm just gutted dude. Every time Larson has controlled a race in the third stage, and checked out, a backmarker yellow comes out, and then this happens.

It's just been the season. We'll see.

I didn't watch the post race and I am devastated thinking about missing the part when they shoot the toy cap guns in victory lane.

 

[Nitro Dude]

I just finished watching the Larson crash and that was just good hard racing. I didn't see Bubba do anything wrong.

Big time facts, big time.

Larson even said the back end just went around with no warning.

Those things are just embarrassing. I know they are a sponsor, but even I don't need the money enough to be caught dead in one of those stupid things.

 

[Magicmiler]

Yeah. Happy he didn't wreck.

 

[Formerjackman]

The more he puts himself in those situations, the better he will become at getting the results he wants. The more you run up at the very front, the more good things happen to you. Ask William Byron.
