You LOVE to see it!

I’m not surprised, it’s been packed all weekend, even Thursday was rather busy. They even sold out the at track parking and have been shuttling people in from the nearby fairgrounds.

Thankfully I’m a camper and don’t have to leave until tomorrow.
 
I love Road America so I’ll be checking this race out.
 
Did anyone see how Nascar handed Chase this win? I missed it.

It wasn't exactly the spectacle I was hoping for.

It was when they said Truex was speeding while going 10 mph slower than the limit.
 
Excellence by the #9 team today! I feel better about the playoffs now.

They waited until he took the lead before they called it for rain.
 
The twitter banter after the race has been interesting... some fans seem to think Chase can only win at road courses and forget that he swept the final two oVaLs of last season. The Playoffs will be interesting this year and I expect the #9 to turn up 🔥 🔥 🔥

Can we even still call them "boats" next year?

Why? His number is 9.

Bill uses that number, granted the numbers on the SRX cars are so small they really don't matter, they rely more on car colors and names to identify drivers.

Chase might run the #94 for his SRX appearance.

Both him and Bill ran that number to honor Casey Elliott throughout their careers.
 
Brett Griffin from DBC doesn't believe Kurt nor Ross will be in the second trackhouse car next year, if that's the case then who?

Ryan Newman? Almost has to be Kurt Busch though. What other veteran driver's are there? They'll gain that Ganassi tech team, but they really aren't that much better than the guys Trackhouse have running their cars now, so they'd still need some mid-level or better driver. Would a DiBenedetto be a step up over Ross? I'm not sure. Would Matt be available (with Keselowski leaving the Penske group)?

Trackhouse seems to have a serious benefactor, so maybe buying out a driver currently under contract? If I was them, I'd throw my money at Kurt. Just as a stable (well as stable as a Busch family member can be) placeholder.

The first track specifically configured for low hp/high downforce racing.

Which indicates high downforce is here to stay. Which makes me incredibly sad.

Quite a few drivers, including Denny Hamlin, who is in a racing weekly show I attend, are saying that this track repave could be a dart throw. SMI didn't do a good job with Texas, Kentucky or Bristol and in order to ensure a good race like the track owners want, they will need an excess of grip.
 
Chase is on pole for this weekend's race! That makes me feel much better heading into Atlanta.
 
Watching my first truck race in a while, when and why did Thorsport go back to Toyota?
 
Race was fun until the final stage. Then it’s just been caution after caution after caution.

Edit: I wish we could just end races under yellow again.

Sooo... How many cautions do the drivers want??

Drivers: Yes... 🙄🙄
 
How many wrecks does it take to reach the finish of this truck race in the dirt? The world may never know...
