NASCAR Xfinity
@NASCAR_Xfinity

Here is the photo NASCAR competition officials used to determine the winner.

The tower utilizes frame-by-frame video that syncs the time of caution with the time stamp of the video. This is the frame at the time of the final caution of the race



Jeffrey Earnhardt's spotter weighs in.

“Parker can’t drive a 10 penny nail into a snowman’s arse if the snowman was on fire!!! Dip shite!!!”

Some words were exchanged between Jeffrey Earnhardt and Parker Kligerman.

Earnhardt wasn't happy that he got put in the wall. Started near the 48 hauler and moved to the 44 garage stall.

Awesome car from bigmchnracing
- still so proud of these guys for the speed we showed in qualifying.

Stage 1 was solid but after spinning Sheldon like a dufus and clearing myself into JEarnhardt1 (finally saw replay) - turned into a sloppy night for me.

I’ll be better

Great video from Bob Pockrass and FOX about things you might not know about the Dale Earnhardt’s 1998 Daytona 500 win (especially if you’ve never listed to Larry McReynolds on Dale Jr.’s podcast).

Elliot's Napa paint scheme is just iconic to me and I can't figure out why it feels that way.

It's obvious that the sport has passed Petty by. His teams haven't done shite in a very long time.

He took what was left of my beloved Robert Yates Motorsports and ran it into the dirt.

I've never been a JJ fan but he seems to be smart enough to realize the direction of the team was not good. There is a recent history of "racers" turning out good products/teams.

Smoke's team is arguably the best in the business right now.

Jr's teams are competitive.

Kez has Roush pointed in the right direction.

Denny's team is competitive.

Richard needs to sign postcards and enjoy the ride.

JJ being around HMS for so many years, he has seen efficient operations. He knows sponsorship = money and money = hiring top people in industry. As he ramps up the incoming dollars they’ll start to improve. Being a 7 time champ will get him in many closed doors of corporate America.

Richard will always have his place in Nascar lore but he needs to let JJ have some leeway. I think he wasn’t upset from my reading rather seeing someone else make decisions is hard for him after so many decades. And thats all he was saying.

This is nothing new for Richard. He’s always had kind of a control freak nature. I’m stuck in COVID isolation (hopefully just one more day) and have been watching racing videos on YouTube, and in the great Petty Blue documentary Kyle mentioned that the first time Richard was supposed to turn Petty Enterprises over to him, it was just a matter of weeks before Richard didn’t like what he was doing and took it back.

Also, watching some Scene Vault Podcasts, I can’t remember who it was that said Richard had to know about every molecule on his car, even down to the number of coats of wax on it … which made for some uncomfortable moments when the host brought that up when he was talking to Maurice’s three sons about what happened at Charlotte in 1983.

Didn't Junior run a similar paint scheme as a. tribute to Buddy Baker?

found it:

I don’t if it would work for safety purposes but how badass would it be to have a throwback exhibition race with cars like this. Well it's a way better idea than a race on a football field with 300 cautions right?

I always thought they should do this for the All-Star Race.

I hope the serial downvoter is hydrated, has rested his downvoting finger, and has his phone all charged up. It’s going to be a long, marathon of a day for him.

I’m sure they’re up for the challenge.

Is rowdy in the 8 car a little weird for anyone else?

It’s definitely different, but I think it’ll be fun seeing him elevate that team.

My winner for today, for some reason I’m going with Tyler Reddick. Think it’ll be a new winner.
