JHN was a wreck waiting for a race to happen. So many wrecks and bad driving. I swear the backmarkers do it to get sponsors on TV. Especially late in races when drama is higher to see who wins. I hope Berry can improve the team its a tall task (if he gets seat)

JHN has talent. But my god is his racecraft awful. Stellantis should kick the tires.

I mean why not go have fun? There’s no championship to chase (which I don’t think he was expecting to win anyway).

I predict Jones will still perform the best at Legacy followed by Berry and Herbst.

Jones is a chase contender.
Berry could be a chase contender.
Herbst will not be a chase contender.

Jayski used to absolutely be the go to for NASCAR news. He got big time and was bought out by ESPN (if memory serves) and it went downhill after that; especially on the "insider" news.

The family has since bought the site back from ESPN but it's a shell of what it once was back in the hayday.

I read on the Twatters that JHN and JJ had a pretty serious falling out after the race the other night, which was kind of the last straw.

I've NEVER been a JJ fan but I do like that he's now more directly involved with the day to day at Legacy and seems serious about making them more competitive.

Time for predictions going into the chase:
Trucks: Layne Riggs
NOAPS: Justin Allgaier
Cup: Hamlin followed by Blaney and Briscoe.

Trucks: Riggs
O Reilly: Kvapil
Cup: Blaney

Kvapil has shown a lot of form lately. And Allgaier can be mistake prone.

I picked Blaney before season started. Not backing off now.

I don’t see anyone beating Riggs.

I don’t see the love for Hocevar

He actually has a personality, unlike a lot of drivers these days. He’s fun and engaged with the fans. He races hard and is willing to push it to try to improve his position.
