My boy Eric Jones finished 11th at the Roval. Missed another top ten by a couple of feet.

 

[Retroram52]

Another top-10 finish for E. Jones in Las Vegas. This time an 8th place finish!

Bubba had a tantrum and knocked out a playoff contender who wasn't even involved. Wonder if there will be a fine.

Love the Avi, Fish with the Labs and those handwritten cardboard signs. LOL!

Needs to be a hefty one. Wonder if Gibbs is gonna say something and demand something be done.

That's what makes it interesting what with all the tie ins between Joe Gibb and Jordan/Hamlin team.
The retaliation hit was blatant and obvious. The original scuffle on the track, both cars could have continued I think, and it didn't look like something Larson did on purpose.

When I saw Bubba trying to get Larson to fight him my racist white mind immediately thought "I wonder if he's holding a grudge over Larson saying the N word when he didn't know everyone could hear it", the one he served a year suspension for which I thought was ridiculous.

Larson is as much a minority as Bubba is.

Taking Bell out and not giving a shit is what got me about the whole deal. It hurts Toyota just as much as they ended up losing 2 cars over some senseless bullshit. But Wallace is a poster child for NASCAR so I guess he gets the pass.

Looking at replays it does look like Larson ran up the track but not enough to make contact and run Wallace into the wall. He also stated his brakes were gone after the contact with the wall which caused the contact with Larson.

I'm shocked, I didn't think they had the balls.

Should have been more considering what all he did. Retaliation at 150MPH. Walking down the track. And pushing a NASCAR official. He got off light and should be happy with that.

Somebody needs to clock this guy and put him to sleep for a couple of hours. I am sick of seeing this racist asshole use the skin color/race card issue as a way to get NASCAR to bend over backwards. He did this shit when he was with Petty and now that Gibbs is behind him, he thinks he is some sort of symbol that deserves some sort of respect that is only in his mind.

Kyle Petty is spot on and has it right.

Good Busch race yesterday (or whatever the hell they call it now).
Then Ty Gibbs once again proved he's the biggest douchebag in motor racing. Already locked into the championship race and wrecks his own team mate knocking him out of the championship.
Not only turned the entire nascar garage against himself but invoked Jesus name while doing so.

I didn't need another reason to root against Joe Gibbs Racing but here we are.

His interviews were bad after that. First off saying that is the same thing that happened to me here in the spring. No in the spring he was racing in a pack and got knocked up the track and then started a melee on pit road. Secondly when he is in Victory circle and trying to talk, the crowd chanting "Thank You Grandpa." Was a classic. Lastly his comment when asked about the fans booing him of "The people wrongly hated Jesus at first too." Did he really just compare himself to Jesus?

Brandon Jones interview when asked how he feels about being a part of Joe Gibbs Racing, " I will be glad to be a part of JRM next year. I expect there will be some respect there."

Odds that Ty Gibbs gets booted in the championship race are pretty high right now I'd say.

I'll laugh.

I'll laugh even harder if it is from another Gibbs car

Jeemie Johnson wants to buy a stake in Petty-GMS Racing. It will probably be approved and that team with Erik Jones Noah Gragson taking over the 42 car will become even more formidable!

7-time NASCAR champ Jimmie Johnson acquires ownership stake in Petty GMS Racing

Johnson will also run part-time in 2023 and attempt to qualify for the 2023 Daytona 500. He hasn't raced in NASCAR since 2020.

[Schmoopy1000]

So what happened for Austin Hill to sucker punch another driver after the race.
Might be the best punch I've seen in Nascar.

 

[Retroram52]

It is a done deal. Jeemie Johnson is now a part owner of Petty-GMS Racing.

Jimmie Johnson returning to NASCAR with part ownership of Richard Petty's Cup team

Jimmie Johnson will return to racing in NASCAR in the 2023 season in an ownership agreement with Petty GMS Racing that includes chairman Richard Petty.
