NASCAR 2023

Joey made a bit of a rookie move there to try and block the third row run. Race ruined. The restarts are going to be messy.

Nowso

sick of super speedways atm

Charlie-Bravo

These restarts are crazy. Didn't take much to wreck a good few of them.

Jaysis, Preece hitting Larson was heavy.

This race is currently under way (5pm start).

Delighted for Martin Truex to end his winless streak. I hope Harvick can do it too before he retires.

I used to like Chastain but he's doing that crap to other drivers too often.. He was responsible for ruining Larson's day by making a ridiculous, aggressive move on Brennan Poole. He came across the radio afterwards saying he didn't mean it but it was clear he did.

It's time NASCAR started penalising him for these moves.

Charlie-Bravo

The FS team played the hilarious 'thanks Ross' clip after that. Shame for Larson and Poole. NASCAR need to penaliZe these moves!

Hamlin a good winner

Chastain the Big looser again

Crazy race, would have loved if Byron had won it coming from two laps down.

Byron and Truex unlucky taking the gamble on having a fresh set of stickers and it goes green the whole way to the end after all the cautions.

Nowso

the xfinity at darlington was a good watch , how many mistakes does Kyle Larsson keep making - lucky to get back up

Nowso

Byron Making the best of carnage caused again by Chastain - its getting just stupid with Chastain at this stage

eagle eye

I'm delighted Chastain got taken out, love the way Larson kept driving.

Did you see the restart where he went before Larson despite being the second car? I don't know why Nascar didn't penalise him for that.

I think Chastain made use of the flag waver rule , Larson was holding back and in that situation once the start line flag is waved Chastain can pass Larson.

Another pit lane penalty for Kyle Busch,

Carl Edwards making it very clear that he will make a comeback if he is still competitive, Carl suggesting that a few runs in s simulator will allow him to determine his competiveness.

#10 SHR needs a driver for '24

Nowso

enjoyed Larrson winning the trucks done it simple and cut out his usual mistakes . Chastain seen him coming in much newer tyers and got himself out of the way lol

Surely the track should have layed a bit better to come back on nascar after 26 year

eagle eye

And Larson won the All-Star race too, his third win in the last five.

Nowso

He is the fastest by a long way - they even managed to mess up the starting strategy go back to near the back and come through to win easy

And he deserved it after what he did to Chastain the week before. 😁

Nowso

Cup race on fox at 8 and stage 2 and 3 of xfinity on fs2 after that - weather permitting

eagle eye

I'd never have picked Blaney to win that. He's done very little all year and then turns up in one of the big races of the year.

Bell was very unlucky.

eagle eye

Berry looking good in the Xfinity.

Nowso

a long day - Blaney done well . its amazing how bad Larsson is at the start of these races ,

xfinity - Allgair who made his usual big mistake in the Pits and still manages to win half coasting home , it was a bit of strange race

The amount of serious fixes to Larson's car was crazy. I'm wondering if his trip to Indianapolis hampered their pre-race prep.

Despite getting into it late on I never felt he had enough to win it. I think at best he was finishing no higher than third.

They've had the best long run car for quite a few races now, amazing how they didn't have it right for such a huge race.

Delighted for Algaier to finally get a win.

Charlie-Bravo

Chase Elliott is suspended for one race for intentionally wrecking Denny Hamlin. Gragson to drive the #9.

How does this happen when Chastain gets a free pass regularly?

Charlie-Bravo

Good question. Do they have a license points system in NASCAR?

Nowso

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120664413#Comment_120664413

good for him to get a chance over berry who got all the other drives

Nowso

chase has not been back right since the injury anyway, but the road tracks would have suited him better

Infoanon

Key difference - Elliot intentionally wrecked Hamlin , similar to Bubba suspension last year.

Left hooking a car into the wall on a super speedway is pure stupidity.

Corey la Joie is the #9 driver this week moving across from Spire ie a Chevy inspired try out, Hosavar will drive the #7. Josh Berry is unavailable this weekend.

The other major story is Chase Briscoe and his team being caught with a counterfeit part , a huge fine and deduction of points and playoff points makes it close to impossible for Briscoe to win this year championship.

In better news for SHR Josh Berry looks certain to sign.

eagle eye

Are you saying Chastain has never intentionally wrecked anyone? You are deluded if you think that.

He didn't left hook him into the wall. He did hit him and it did look intentional but there's always a question when a driver hits the wall about how much control he has in the aftermath.
