Dang. Not sure the yellow was needed.

Ugh! Two races, both ending under caution.

What did I say?
Another plate race, another Kaulig win.
Hope Briscoe goes after Gragson.

I'm this case, I guess it was justified. There was a second group like 10 seconds behind and the wrecked cars were all over the track.

Justin Haley wins under caution. Least surprising outcome ever.
Good race though.

Why? Briscoe did his job as the leader and blocked everything. Blocking comes with the risk of being moved. He then blocked Gragson again and got moved again.
Brentford
Team Owner
Agreed. No reason why Gragson should just accept the blocks.

I mean if you block it’s going to happen.

Exactly, can't be mad about the hard racing.
It was what it was, but Haley is one hell of a plate racer.

Blame that on the drivers. Decide to play follow the leader for 30 laps. Have no idea how the car will race when actually pushing, make moves way too late and wreck each other. Happens all the way from trucks to the cup series.
The racing style of waiting until the final few laps is anticlimactic and not to mention stupid dangerous.

They could have got slowed down in time tbh. At least I think so. Oh well tho

The dominating car/truck in both races got taken out when it came down to it. I knew Gragson wasn't going to take any sheet but Briscoe wouldn't back off. Good stuff

I don’t blame them for waiting to go for it, you can’t win it early but you sure as hell can lose it early.

He was the only one willing to dive down and make moves toward the front and it paid off. If more drivers had the gonads to do the same, maybe they’d win.

Haley seems to have this super speedway thing figured out

Probably wont get to that point overall, but he has definitely proven himself as far as plate racing goes.

He’s the best superspeedway driver out there right now. And has a lot of luck at these places too which matters.

Brad Daugherty was speaking the truth right there, Briscoe was more concerned about getting back at Gragson and left the door wide open for Haley. If Briscoe blocks Haley, more than likely he would have won.

What are you talking about? There are some yeawho's that watch the whole damn race so they can bitch.

and everybody and their little dog knew Gragson wasn't going to back off either

and he shouldn't have to back off either(I'm not saying you think he should back off)
