Hell, even as a fan I didn't think I'd say this, but he has a real shot at this championship.

He definitely does if he keeps driving like that throughout the rest of the season.

NBC needed something to say was close so they showed the finish for Third. INB4 Fox News thinks thats the finish.

Joey gets a top 5 with the AARP crew all around him. This one was a real joke. Biff and Smoke top 5 and Ogre and Crashhouse in the top 10

I would like to think there's some English here somewhere.

Not a big sample size by any means, but Bowman shown with the drive he had before the blowout that he has serious potential in equipment that isn't mediocre at best.

I was hoping Tony would do his post race interview with his Boston accent.

I think Tony can crack the top 20 in points at this rate.

Holy crap Harvick is PISSED at his team

What else is new?

 

[trobes29]

Kyle Petty's gonna end up hurting himself with that lobster...

I flipped to iRacing after Tony got interviewed, what happened?

He basically criticized his pit crew and said there's no way they're gonna win a championship if stuff on pit road like today keeps going on.

 

[Blood Eagle]

Harvick has been doing this for years. Sometimes he has a point but sometimes he can't accept defeat. No matter if he has the best crew on pit road, he'll still bitch. Hate the dude personally.

[Nico_Ble99]

Poor Kyle

 

[Cale]

Wishful thinking. He's 150 points out.

Well. Can't really blame him. His pit crew has been crappy as long as I can remember.

 

[RACECAR]

Thing is, hasn't he done that to literally every crew he has had? (RCR, KHI, JRM, SHR)

 

[Johnny1996]

Random thought: If Tony shows up at the Outlaws race on Tuesday I should tell him "Hey Smoke, you know I'm still waiting for you to bust Joey's ass right" just to see what he says.

 

[GTFan24]

well then...

 

[nascarfan1400]

well then...

Wait does that mean Tony won?

 

[catamount39]

Can Tony win then please?

 

[nascarfan1400]

My question is, did he get hit by someone or someone hit him, or did he really "cheat?"

 

[GTFan24]

Can Tony win then please?

Nascar is too "quintessential" to do that

 

[nascarfan1400]

Well how does it work in the past? I don't think they stripped wins, have they? They just penalised the winner like 50 points. But what would that do, seeing that that means nothing with the "win and you're in" deal.

 

[Leadfoot530]

I've never really understood post race inspection. Yeah, the team may pull some bodywork away that NASCAR doesn't like or something that they can see from their pit cameras, but it's a moving car; parts are bound to move and come loose. If it passes pre-race inspection, unless the team did something, how does it not pass post-race inspection?

As much as I root for JGR, just give Tony his 50th win, NASCAR!

They'll do that, NASCAR doesn't strip wins.

Tony wouldn't want his 50th win to come like this either. Ideally, he'd probably like it next week at Indy or to win the Championship at Homestead

In general post race inspection is stupid. (all series/championships/disciplines)

If he didn't have a win yet it would be quintessential to let him in
