Just waiting on them to catch traffic and then for Gragson’s “hold my beer” send it moment.

 

[Kiante]

Haley might throw this away.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Burton has this barring a major goof or traffic problem now.

 

[2 Sweet]

Is it that hard to just call the race as it happens without constantly trying to predict what the drivers are thinking and analyze things that may or may not happen? This booth wears me out

 

[Kiante]

Take that back, Haley has a nice cushion now between himself and 12th.

As much as his announcing annoys me, I feel for Jeff Burton right now as a father. I would want to be “Dad” right now, not do my job.

White Flag

 

[Kiante]

Burton gets it.

Sorry, I'm listening to MRN. I needed to walk the pups.

 

[antman12]

Breaking your dads record for Youngest driver to win at said track is pretty badass.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

No Kim

 

[Turtle84]

Harrison on a roll lately if this stays green, developing well on a tough track.

No kidding way too much Dr Phil

 

[Old Kid]

Harrison finishes the job!

 

[FLRacingFan]

Well done, Harrison. Closing out the season well.

Pretty deserving final four, which is what you always want to see. A combined 20 wins among them.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Back-to-back wins for Harrison!
He's gonna be right in the mix for the championship in 2021.

 

[2 Sweet]

I don't like Harrison.

Maybe because he drives for JGR, maybe because his dad annoys the hell out of me, IDK really. I don't have a good reason but I'm not a fan

I know NBC pays the money, but NASCAR really needs to figure this out the next time the negotiate tv deals. NBC does not treat this sport with any real legitimacy the way they constantly bump them.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Really loved the 30 seconds of post-race

 

[Tony_K]

That's it? Big deal about making the final 4 and don't talk to anyone. Wow.

 

[StandOnIt]

yeah I like all four and they deserve a shot at it.

 

[StandOnIt]

I bet they didn't lose any commercials

 

[LJ7201]

That Rick Allen "IT'S YOU" call was hilarious

Thank God, I was in a big hurry to get to my local news.
(Do I need to post the sarcasm smilie?)

They said old people can't live without local news.
(And that's right, grandpa hasn't missed them in years.)

Maybe I'm not so old after all then because I never fail to miss the idiotic talking heads that masquerade as newscasters these days.

You don't even watch the weather forecast?

 

[Old Kid]

No and surprisingly I don't watch The Weather Channel either...

I really paid attention to him last week and today and I think he is a smart driver.
One step ahead of what his father was. Toyota has to many good young drivers in the pipeline. Bell better be looking out or he could be the next family member.

after they have invested gazillions in Bell? Makes perfect sense

 

[StandOnIt]

I don't doubt it one bit

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

I don't doubt it one bit

Translation: I would have dumped him without a thought.

How much did they invest in Jones? A lot

My bold prediction is Hamlin retires next year to focus on team ownership and Harrison goes to the 11

How much sponsorship does he have?
Could be one of the others if they have a lot of sponsor dollars.
