Xfinity RACE thread --- Daytona

[SlicedBread22]

His car was junked. The front end had bear bond for days.

I missed most of the race other than that final stint.. just looked like he didn't even try

He did what he could, honestly.

Briscoe got hoed in the points standings.

 

[machinistman3]

Good for Dinger as well. He drove a good race.

Well, Haley just admitted he didn’t go for it so as to not potentially cost Kaulig Racing the win. Big picture thinking I guess?

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Miss the Dinger running week in and week out

 

[Spotter22]

So happy for Matt Kaulig, when owners are going out he comes in with a bang!

 

[Michfan]

Put this guy in a big time ride

 

[Kiante]

Chip Ganassi better tighten up or he's going to lose out on Ross.

Better start now hunting for sponsorship. Also, kudos to Chris Rice for shouting out Koch and Truex for their contributions to the team as well. Really classy interview.

 

[Spotter22]

I said it earlier this year, Chip, either run 3 cars next year or thank Kurt Busch for a job well done and put this kid in his cup ride.He's a winner, he has "it". You cant deny "it" and you cant find "it" that often.

 

[DUN24]

That was badass. Boss move by Kaulig. Great runs by all three drivers. AJ was a man on a mission at the end.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Ross Chastain is the real deal. Ganassi should put him in the 42 next year.

He'll win over 20 races if he gets the opportunity.

And I completely forget about race was on tonight

Just incredible. If Ross so much as sniffs a chance, he seizes it with both hands.

#10 of AJ Allmindinger DQ’d after post race inspection

 

[Kiante]

I'd still keep Kurt in the 1, but that's just me. Kurt still has Monster behind him as well, he's not going anywhere next season.

I'm sick of rain delays and 4 am race starts.

Why don’t you take 20% off there, chief.

 

[JerryF]

Like Chastain, but hate all this blocking. If he keeps it up, I think he pays big time for it.

So lets see .... Chastain goes up to his car owner and sponsors and says "I'm not going to block in this race!" Would that be a good career move?

nobody mentioned Jeff Green finishing 7th...????

Hey, anyone looking in the mirror and seeing those beady eyes would move over and let him by!

Great result for sure, would love to see him run full races at all the tracks.
I hope he'll be back next season after his rotator cuff surgery in two weeks.

Stephen Leicht in fifth is awesome as well, first Top 10/Top 5 in NASCAR for him in ten years.

Yes, rain delays do suck , I understand.
