The odds that almost all the Looney Toons drivers had terrible races two years in a row is pretty wild.

Wouldn’t be shocked if Zane didn’t race this weekend. Especially if he has a concussion. Layne Riggs makes cup debut?

I was watching @SamanthaBusch’s Instagram story about coming to Bristol this weekend, and in it she talks about how @TyGibbs has been like a big brother to Brexton, has picked him up to take him to lunch and breakfast and has gone out karting with him. She says Brexton came home one day and told her “We talked about our dads.” Powerful stuff, but good on Ty for playing such an important role for Brexton and makes it even more fitting that he’ll be driving the M&M’s scheme on Saturday night.

Good truck race. Riggs, Honeycutt, and Chandler Smith all had troubles so the top four was Garcia, Currey, Friesen, Haley. The first chase driver finished in sixth so it was an unexpected finishing order.

Heck of an apology by Jesse Love towards the 7 team and his team as well. It takes a real man to admit to your mistake. Mad respect to him.

Still sucks Allgaier didn’t win, but all in all he had a great points day.

Carson Kvapil had some horrible Justin Allgaier luck today.

Holy shite that was a damn good fricking race. Had it all. Tires going bad to sliding cars yet not wrecking. So much action on that last 13 laps before the GWC caution. This car can race. So many emotions for several drivers on moves they made and shouldn't have. Great post race interviews.

Love this NOAP series!

It really is some can’t miss racing every single week. The points are pretty tight among Creed, Allgaier, Kvapil, and Love. It’s honestly anyone’s championship.

There were so many saves from contact. I really enjoyed the honest answers from Love and Gray. Love regrets sliding Algier. Gray regrets sliding Love (said they are best friends). Algier interview was great too.

If Cup can ever get this type car we’d have something. My guess is in Cup they would take less risks if same type car. NOAP is younger drivers wanting to prove themself (thus they take more risks and create action) but have less experience.

Did you see that stat the CW put up that had top 10s and wins in the regular season compared to the postseason for JRM? I’d like to see that again, but basically JRM is lights out during the regular season but falters bigly in the postseason. Night and day difference.

Creed was handed the race with all the late race and OT shenanigans. He’s MIA from the top 5 the entire race, shows up at the end and wins the dang thing. That guy has been stupid lucky in the first three races.

I can’t believe we’ll have to wait another two weeks for some on track NOAPS action.

Yes, Creed is not a driver I care for. He wrecked his own teammate a few years ago and cost him a title, it was in the last race last lap. And he’s caused so many other high level wrecks. He has been lucky, hust hung around and waited for others to screw up. His team gambled on tires a pit stop prior and those tires win him the race.

And JGR does mess up just look at that bad call last year that cost Denny the title. I still think Nascar gave them something start if year and then took it away a month ago. Because they had such an advantage they never worked on tweaking car during season. Other teams worked arse off trying to find something to compete so when Nascar modified undercarriage rule those other teams also had the small gains they made during season which Toyota didn’t work on. Which put other teams ahead of them.

But there are still Toyotas in top of standings and Nascar will make sure a Toyota wins cup, that was the backroom deal.
