It’s racing, great finish. You gotta do what you gotta do to win.......

But if Anderson goes and blindsides Effinger in victory lane I’d be ok with it

Give a finish like that in the 500 and I'll be happy. That reminded me of Darlington a few years ago.

I totally agree, Enfinger was not wrong for doing it. I’m just saying, if I am Anderson himself, I would be mad. Mad at myself and mad about getting door jammed.

I hate to agree with Joey, but had he waited just a second longer to make that move he would have possibly won.


After his interview I’ve become a fan of Anderson.

Really like him. He’s out there on his own dime and running for the win at Daytona. That’s pretty awesome.

Ross Chastain DNQ'd for the Xfinity Series race because the Kaulig Racing cars had totally screwed up left front brake hubs, resulting in slow qualifying speeds. AJ Allmendinger, also driving for Kaulig, also missed the race. Only one Kaulig racing car, their main car #11, got in.

Ross will race, however, as Jeff Green will give up his Sieg Racing seat in the #38 car and let Ross drive the #38.

Pretty strange deal.

That happens more often than you realize, especially at Daytona and the first few races of the season. Chastain will be in his car but running Green’s car number. There is a program in Nascar called the ABC program where if you sign up to run the the entire schedule you get paid more than if you only run a partial schedule. I qualified for the Busch race at Richmond in 95 but got run into coming on pit road in the final practice. It tore up the car pretty good and I didn’t have a backup car. I sold my starting spot to one of the team’s that failed to qualify for $50k. They had to run my number and start at the rear but their driver got the driver points. And I had enough money to get home....

If you’ve ever looked at the drivers positions and earnings after a race, some drivers will make way more money than certain drivers that finish ahead of them because of the ABC program. At least that’s how it used to work.

I didn’t know most of the younger drivers running the truck race last night. I know Tyler Ankrum because a friend of mine from Hueytown that worked with me for several years, Blake Bainbridge works for DGR Crossley now as a crew chief. Grant Enfinger is from Mobile and I’ve known him for a few years. The drivers keep getting younger and younger. I don’t know much about the Anderson kid but I was pulling for him on the last lap last night. He may never get an opportunity like that again.

The way they were talking to Green, they were talking about his body size compared to Ross and seat size, so it sounded like Ross would be getting in Green’s car. But you could be correct.

Alright, it looks like Ross is in Green’s actual #38, which has been re-wrapped to put Ross’ paint scheme on it. Still #38.

LOL whenever NASCAR can't find a grand marshal for a race, you can count on them turning to to Richard Petty to do it.

Make Corey LaJoie's grandfather the permanent grand marshal.

Kind of interesting how the Xfinity cars have such small spoilers and the Cup cars look they have a damn 2 foot tall blade mounted on the back.

A lot of good cars just crashed with under 10 laps to go.

It’s a long shot, but I hope something can happen for Brandon Brown to steal the W here.

So why did they wait to throw the yellow? There seems no rhyme or reason to throw it

I mean it wasn’t up front but still
