"That's life, sometimes 🤬 happens"-Sebastian Vettel

Seriously though, we could rant on and on about NASCAR's inability to draw a crowd on a saturday night in July, but I think enough's been said there

 

[AMPMROCKETFANN]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Tire down on the 88!!

EDIT: Sorry about the double post

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

Well, there's still Talladega...

 

[AMPMROCKETFANN]

He's also still running. There is still hope


EDIT: Bubba is right in there! Oh yeah

EDIT 2: Big crash. Bubba missed it by inches, Larson in it; Snafu by NBC team

 

[MustangRyan]

Well, there's still Talladega...

That won't help him make the playoffs, though.

 

[Dolph Drago]

Thanks for showing us who finished 6-10th in stage 2 before going to commercial, NBC...

 

[AMPMROCKETFANN]

Another crash. Elliot's in it and he is out. So is Bayne

 

[Dolph Drago]

Can't believe Jr. still has a shot.

Edit: Nevermind. Caught up in a biggish one.

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

That won't help him make the playoffs, though.

Getting in would only be symbolic.

And as I typed that, Junior is pretty much done. Thanks, Harvick.

 

[MustangRyan]

It's amazing that more cars didn't get caught up in that wreck. The track was totally blocked with sideways cars.

 

[GTFan24]

HOLY ****!

 

[LumpiestFish]

Kurt Busch took a brutal hit. Lucky Larson's car wasn't turned backward because then it would've definitely turned over.

 

[Dolph Drago]

Hard hit for Kurt. Glad the safer barriers are there.

It's been a heck of a race late aside from that.

 

[Leadfoot530]

Not the first time Larson's been airbourne at Daytona...as they bring up the replay from 2013.

Kurt took a big hit. Glad to see everybody's unscathed, in terms of injuries, at least.

 

[LumpiestFish]

It's still astonishing whenever they replay Dillons wreck from a couple years ago.

 

[Dolph Drago]

There are a lot of guys with a chance for their first win right now. Should be interesting.

 

[Leadfoot530]

Back to racing...

...and nope...

 

[LumpiestFish]

So can someone fill me in with the difference between the 'Overtime' and the old GWC finishes?

They only have to get to a certain point of the track during the first green flag lap for it to be official if there is a caution and there's no limits on attempts.

 

[Leadfoot530]

Wut...

 

[jamesst99]

That sucked.

 

[LumpiestFish]

Well that was an incredibly underwhelming finish. Who would've thought Stenhouse Jr would have two wins this year though.

 

[AMPMROCKETFANN]

Stenhouse wins this, the internet flips it's stuff again and please for the love of the gods someone give Bubba a ride.

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

Wreckhouse wins twice in one year?

 

[GTFan24]

RICKYYYYYYYYYYY

 

[Leadfoot530]

Well, we needed a replacement for someone who can only win on plate tracks.

I think we know who it is.

What happened between the #18 and #24 towards the end there?

 

[Adamgp]

I enjoyed what I saw of the race.

Of course Ricky won, I left him on the bench for my fantasy team.

 

[Dolph Drago]

It's too bad the side by side finish for 2nd wasn't for the lead instead. Oh well, congrats to Ricky on another plate win.

 

[BKGlover]

I was busy with the G1 US special, was the race worth watching?

If you like seeing different drivers up front. It was pretty exciting near the end.
