I have seen the pit road accident that killed a crew member. Which made a lot of all these crew rules. Like the helmets.

I've seen the replay of Bill Elliott's crew member getting killed. Speed limits on pit road were a good call.

The Brickyard usually isn't this much a war of attrition.

Field keeps on getting smaller.

I hope he's not hurt, but I definitely hope he got the wind knocked out of him. Maybe Ryan Newman can go do a slow donut right in front of the ambulance.

Real bad day for Gibbs and Hendrick.

I wouldn’t have believed you if you told me the Cup race at the Brickyard would have far more torn up cars than the Busch Series race at a road course that has never been ran in any NASCAR series before

Seems to me there was another race at Indy where there was a blown tire about every 20 laps or so. The race was unwatchable for all the cautions that day.

Now the ending to that Busch race was great. I do find myself rooting harder for some Busch drivers then I do for the Cup drivers now a days.

I haven’t ever had a favorite Busch driver. I liked Reddick, and he’s now my number 2 in the Cup Series, but I’ve been pulling for the Kaulig Racing team this year(Haley, Chastain and Allmendinger)

But I was kayaking down the river and fishing with some buddies pretty much all day Saturday, so I didn’t catch the Busch race

Haley, Briscoe, Jeb Burton, and of course Jeffrey Earnhardt. I find myself pulling for those four.

Since I hadn't really watched the sport for 3 or 4 years I don't have a fav in Cup. I root a little for Harvick, but doesn't bother me if he wrecks. I have found the last few Busch races that I am watching closely at the end and rooting for one of those four to pull it out. Jeb most of all.

Jimmie Johnson has been cleared to race on Sunday, and the Cup Series will be taking on the Daytona road course in August. They're gonna do the 400 at Daytona in August as well, but pretty cool.

Since Jimmie Johnson's testing positive for Covid and missing his first race ever, he has since been re-tested and it came back negative indicating the first test was a false positive. This bullshit is now ruined a starting streak by Jimmie with a false positive as he did not and has not exhibit(ed) any symptoms and missed a race for nothing. This craziness has got to stop.

Noah Gragson is a douchebag, but it looked like he had the upper hand in the scrap.

JR Motorsports has no team aspect. They have 4 drivers in the field, and the top 3 drivers have been wrecking each other season

I think NASCAR nailed the short track package this season, but the intermediate package needs to be scrapped.

It helps my two favorite drivers, but it's annoying that a back of the back car rides around with a tire rub for several laps and then finally has the tire blow during a round a green flag pit stops that completely flips the running order.

Both Harvick and Reddick were running around 20th, but they'll be somewhere in the top 12 now, so that's good, but I really don't like it when a guy making laps in 35th makes an impact on the finish of the race.

Before the crybaby brigade comes in blaming Brad for that, Jimmie blocked late, and when you block late, you get spun. Same thing happened to Jimmie at Talladega.
