It’s the accent isn’t it? Maybe it’s because I watch all kinds that I’m indifferent on who calls nascar. As long as they’re good, idgaf where they come from.

Diffey is as solid a lead guy as there is right now. Though Adam Alexander is great as a nascar lead as well.

Jamie little is a pit reporter. Please keep her where she’s good. She’s just like Jerry punch. Great on pit road. Awkward af in the booth.

This season is over. Toyota got what they wanted in backroom deal.

1. Wins for 23X
2. Title in waiting for Hamlin

The rest are just playing for 2nd and below.

Listened on MRN as am on a trip. Sounds like Alan screwed Chase again. And HMS is really behind whatever advantage Nascar gave Toyota.

Points, 3 left to cut off top 16. Once chase starts there are no cut lines. Best points in last 10 races.

At this point, it's not just Toyota, but JGR specifically. Reddick has fallen off. Blaney's speed is somewhat track specific and Hendrick is just arse.

I think the chase will end up 1-4 JGR.

Vegas with 2 dates again next year.

When can we give them one date on the big track and one on the bullring ?

Points as they stand. Honestly not a big diff between 5 or so positions up/down. Even 60 points is nothing because once chase starts points are not reset again. You have 10 races to get most points from where you start.

Come on SVG.

Trackhouse just doesn’t need to step on their dicks this weekend. Shane ran well at all 3 remaining regular season races last year. Don’t pull an Iowa.

5 of the top 6 are Toyota. I wish I was a fly on the wall in the secret backroom meeting. Wanna know exactly what they were given

All JGR cars and one of the three full time 23XI cars in the top six. The fourth 23XI car has two wins on the season though. The elephant in the room is well you know.

But if this isn’t in your face, I don’t know what is?

Especially since some of those drivers were basically backmarkers prior to this year. And with all that advantage Bubba still struggles to make the chase, just like every year

The real story will be if another “can’t miss” prospect comes along, will MJ push bubba out?

Right now there isn’t that prospect, nor is there anyone in the garage that would be considered a clear upgrade that 23xi could realistically sign. (In their eyes).

But I do expect bubba to be the defacto 3rd wheel.

Reddick, Heim, bubba is actually a pretty solid lineup all things considered.
