There were many times where it felt like Larson was about to pull it off, but nothing has happened. Maybe 2016.
 
Maybe after all the big-name drivers retire because they're the only ones who have a legitimate shot at winning anymore. Only once or twice will someone not part of a major team be able to win a race in a season.

If you don't drive for Hendrick, Penske, Gibbs, or Stewart-Haas, good luck. This year, only Martin Truex, Jr. managed to eke out a win not being part of one of those teams.

While doing better then the actual RCR cars. I think though its a case of it being ALL that team and the Driver/Crew Chief Pairing that just hits off on something.
 
Speaking of Larson, rumor has it he was supposedly Stewart's first choice to take over the #14, but there were issues with Kyle's contract at Ganassi.

Then MWR announced it was closing up shop and Bowyer became available.
 
*massive spoiler alert* Jimmie Johnson will win tomorrow at his personal playground. :sly: *end massive spoiler alert*

Honestly, I'll be very surprised if anyone else than JJ or a JGR car wins tomorrow.

And we still have the trucks tonight at Las Vegas. Crafton just got the pole and Erik Jones comes to this race with the lead in the points standings.

Picks?

Starting grid.
 
Oh whoops, sorry if I spoiled the result for you or anyone else that didn't see it. :guilty:

In this case, its fine. I don't see any indication that it'll be re-aired so a Spoiler here isn't the worst thing.

Crap, I completely forgot :lol:
 
And freaking huge hit for Austin Theriault right now. Tyler Redick lost it on 4, came down on the track and hit Austin, who them went straight on the outside wall at full speed. He hit the concrete wall right after the finish of the safer barrier.

Gosh, that hurt.

EDIT: AND JWT TOOK THE LEAD FROM CRAFTON BEFORE THE CAUTION. WHAT IS GOING ON?
 
That's Austin.

I know, just a unsettling sight for me given what happened at Pocono and of course at Vegas in 2011. Just have come to associate it as bad news. I know it sounds stupid but until then, I had never watched a fatal crash live and that shook me up. Then Pocono just brought that all back.

I heard JWT finally won something.
A. Will demons start crawling out of my TV?
B. Will the sun shine tomorrow?
C. Vids or it didn't happen lol
 
Pastor Maldonado had won a Formula 1 race. John Wes Townley just won a Truck race.

Ricky Stenhouse may actually find Cup victory lane someday. :odd:

Well, Saturday alone has been quite the anomaly. Maybe tomorrow it'll happen.
