Yeah deserved winner. Kinda boring but there was some good strategy if that's your thing, I guess not bad but the least exciting of the three this weekend for me. The xfinity restart at the end was great and it was fun to see if Hocevar could move up through the trucks.

It's been so long since there has been real strategy used in a race because of the stage breaks it was fun to watch in my opinion. Most stages are like 1 stop regardless of tire wear so to actually get teams going 2 stop vs 1 stop and having the tires actually fall off and the fact that the stages went green all the way actually made it interesting. I feel like the most strategy we see now is like last week at Pocono, flip your track position by pitting with 3 to go if you don't need stage points. You don't exactly need Fatback Mcswain on the box to make those calls, the stages dictate the strategy.

E: I should have prefaced that by saying I'm one of those nerds that will like watch F1 intently to see if Ocon can undercut Gasly for 8th place in a race where every other position is spread out by 5 to 30 seconds.

I hope it’s indefinite

Lots of unskillful moves from this dude: trying to punch Ross (while several laps down lol), the dumbass haircut, inability to drive in the rain, causing that giant wreck fest at Road America last year

Yeah I think Legacy was like oh good an opportunity to get this guy out now and start preparing for next year, later bro. I didn't see the thing he liked or retweeted or whatever it was but assuming it was in pretty poor taste and probably against some sort of morality clause in his contract. It just baffles me how many public figure type people will go out of their way to be assholes, and let everyone know about it, and expect nothing to come of it.

Huge for that team to do it back to back, nevermind from a short track to a superspeedway. Plus 3 weeks ago they were maybe/hopefully pointing into one of the last playoff spots to now potential playoff contender. If they can orchestrate some stage wins or maybe somehow another win while the team is hot he'll be in the mix. Always love a good underdog and even though it would make Jack Roush happy at least we can say he had to partner with a baseball team and another driver to make his team even half relevant again.

Never expected the 34 to dominate the day like that. I'm not a McDowell fan but happy to see an underdog team put together a total race like that, fun to see.

Funny how the 24, that is completely safe on making the playoffs, couldn't pass tech and got a bunch of penalties. Almost like they cheated the gently caress out of that car to see what they could get away with on cheating up the 9 car for next weekend. I'll be shocked if the 9 doesn't win next week.

The site is just embedding their YouTube channel, you can use any YouTube app and see them all.

If anyone hasn't seen it or doesn't remember it you should definitely watch the 2011 Southern 500. It's in my personal top 5 races and is just fantastically entertaining from start to finish.

Posted in Discord, but there's an Autoweek story out where Smoke says his vision for SRX is an 8-10 race schedule with around 20 cars. He also apparently let slip they want to run a Winter schedule, possibly in the Southern Hemisphere.

If they can't pull that off and seeing they've already leaned into the Thursday Night Thunder theme, Winter Heat in the Southwest/Florida, anyone?
