NBC completely fricked over anyone not watching live. I get why but still.

I thought they’d switch to Lester Holt and they switched to the local affiliates weekend coverage.

A damn joke.

Apparently Blaney melted down on the radio, accused NASCAR of favoring “their F-ing golden boy.”

I’m so glad Rick Allen is out of the booth after today.

So evidently some cars ran out on white flag lap under yellow. But they never showed it

That's a pretty damning remark, and I'm sure Blaney isn't the only one in the garage thinking this.

The race should not go green if the control car pulls off. Blaney has a point about Larson being gifted the lead right there.

Wave off and re-choose. 2nd place now becomes control car. Simple. But leave it to nascar to frick it up.

We have clown officiating to go with a clown car. That wrecked car was going nowhere. Too many times the officiating at the end is different as during. Same with penalties on exiting pits.

I think the officials forgot race was moved off NBC and wanted to end it, not aware it was on USA. And I hate anything on main TV channels strictly because they cut in all the time for events. Our local weather cut in all the time but channels like USA don’t.

It's not just Larson y'all. I've been watching this shite for 40 years. It's ALL of the Hendrick drivers and it's been happening for 30 years at least.

It's fricking pathetic that they orchestrate finishes like this instead of letting drivers decide it on the track. The fist fricking caution from Busch shouldn't have been thrown and Blaney and Kez should have been allowed to duke it out.

Did something just happen to Mr. Hendrick?

Edit: may have just rushed to help him up.

I thin its possible they radioed Blaney, or should have. But it looked like both left same time confused who was in control. I agree reset the front 2, but they likely thought gas becomes an issue and if they extend a lap more cars start running out.

Cluster all the way around by officials.

Of course, thats why Chase got a questionable drive thru penalty.

Its incompetence. The finish was flat out stupidity by clown officials. It wasn't Larson it was money men who did not want to extend race.

Thats a max of 10 seconds for him to process that.

And that’s saying nascar is proactive in doing so. Rarely do they think forward.

And if other cars start running out oh well. The leader running out and 15th running out have massively different consequences.
