Yup, they “share” information as team Chevy. Ross has made too many enemies and no amount of I’m sorry will fix it, only on track actions. He has cost teams millions of dollars in wrecked cars not counting lost positions and wins. Trackhouse needed to have talked to him but its evident they don’t care. They soon might though.




It's really stupid when you think about it. He's wrecking all these Chevy cars and it just adds up to stupid. Chastain better get it fixed.

Wow I did not realize Bubba is 15th in points. He’s strung together a couple of good finishes

I think I saw that he had finished 12th or better in 5 of the last 6 races.

Kyle Busch says he’s no longer making calls to teams trying to land an Indianapolis 500 ride in future years. Busch: “I don’t know if it will ever happen.”

No surprise that there could be some track repair work needed here at North Wilkesboro with areas recently sealed and patched. They made repairs to this area and track activity had resumed.

Well, it seems after Rick H spoke Trackhouse got the message. My guess is their own repair bill is adding up. Will it resinate with Ross though? He has lots of playbacks coming:



SiriusXM NASCAR Radio (Ch. 90)
@SiriusXMNASCAR

While @JustinMarksTH belief in @RossChastain’s talent remains unchanged, he says this latest incident at Darlington is cause for concern.

“He’s got some things he’s got to clean up. We, today, started a process of more aggressively handling that.”

Link to twitter video recording of Justin Marks explaining it. He seems rattled a bit and “had some calls”. At least its a start.

How I think that conversation went.

Mr H: "How you like them engines we've been supplying?"

JM: "They're great, our guys have been rockets all year."

Mr H: "If you want to keep those rockets talk to your boy about keeping my cars clean. If you won't keep him from wrecking then you might see those rockets take a step back so you aren't around any of my cars. Understood?"

JM: "Yes sir. Understood."

Yup!

In addition Rick closed with:

“Oh, and one last thing. I sent a bill for the damage your guy caused to my cars this week. Be glad it wasn’t for the season to date. And if my guys do some paybacks thats on the house, Trackhouse I mean”.

Justin reply:

“Um, yes Mr H, we’ll take care and pay it”.

I believe he will eventually get a shot at running the Indy 500.

Melt.

He's right in this case, whether you dislike him or not.

When I see a Folgers paint job I think Tim Richmond.

Not Mark Martin.

Penalties from last week:

Bob Pockrass
@bobpockrass

Tyler Reddick is penalized 10 points for ballast not secured inside a ballast container at Darlington (which was the issue in tech that got crew chief Billy Scott ejected). No fines nor supension.

And as expected, two Erik Jones crew members suspended two races for wheel coming off -- Nate McBride-jack and Adam Riley-rear tire changer.
