I’d be glad to see Hendrick bring back the 5 and stop using 88. For me, the use of 88 by Hendrick doesn’t make sense for anyone but Dale Jr.

Agreed. 5 is one of Rick's original numbers.

5 needs to be back on the track.... I wouldn’t have had a problem with 24 & 48 leaving the track if it meant 25 coming back. Plus Hendrick has used 57 in nationwide before.

Who's ready for the Harvick/Hamlin show the next two weeks?

So the final 4 is gonna be Harvick, Hamlin, Truex and Keselowski if I had to guess. Want to see Chase win in, though.

Logano drove his arse off today holding off Harvick. I think Chase has an uphill battle now. Looking like Harvick, Hamlin, Joey, Keslowski.

Truex's best track is Martinsville in two weeks.

Lots of NASCAR news breaking today.

Chase Briscoe to the 14
Erik Jones to the 43
Kyle Larson reinstated
Corey LaJoie getting named at Spire this week.
Justin Haley staying in Xfinity with Kaulig.
Wouldn’t be surprised to see AJ Allmendinger be his full time teammate.

I would have been cool with AJ in the 43.

Larson will be driving the 5 next year IMO.

Yeah, now that he isn’t going to Stewart-Haas, that’s the only logical landing spot with any big team. Makes sense since Hendrick has remained very quiet about their fourth driver for next season.

So it will be
Larson
Elliot
Byron
Bowmann

Are all 4 going to be there for multiple years?

I think Bowman is a free agent in 2022? Thought I heard that.

He is. Keselowski is also a free agent next year. For whatever reason I can’t see him at Penske when the new car comes out. I see him at Hendrick or he starts his own team.

Erik Jones will be announced to the 43 today.

Some of what I read...
Crew chief is staying with RPM and not going with Bubba to 23XI (MJ's team). Very possible Stanley/Dewalt follow him. Contract for them is up at JGR and Rheem will fill the gaps.

Multi year deal too... that's interesting.

Would also make sense due to Dewalt/Stanley having a previous relationship with RPM when Marcus Ambrose was driving there.

Supposedly Lajoie and Spire will be announced this week. Lajoie is also working on Xfinity races too. DBC believes Anthony Alfredo has a shot at a Kaulig car.

File this one under news we saw coming a mile away:

Denny Hamlin and Michael Jordan's team will be called 23XI Racing. Using the number... wait for it....

23.

In all seriousness, this is great for NASCAR.

Martin Truex Jr.’s chances of going to the final 4 just took a significant hit. From NASCAR:

“NEWS: NASCAR confiscates spoiler of the No. 19 car following pre-race inspection failure at @TXMotorSpeedway.

The car will lose 20 owner and driver points and start at the rear of the field today. Crew chief James Small will also be ejected.”

When will these crew chiefs learn not to frick with the spoiler?

Rodney Childers did the same thing at Texas last year and the win was taken away from Harvick.
