Was pulling for Byron or Súarez at the end, but what a great run for Kennedy!

I thought Erik Jones impressed me last year, but I think William Byron is catching up with him quickly. I don't doubt his boss will be trying a few of those higher lines Saturday night. KB's definetly got an eye for talent.

That was some language Gallagher shouted out in Victory Lane

To follow up on the Blaney VT car, Annett will be running a Tennessee car this week as well

I missed it. Was it any good?

Byron will be driving for JR Motorsports next year. Link here.

 

[Dylan]

That's awesome!

Guess there is no room at the already crowded Gibbs development team. Though its gonna be weird seeing Liberty University on a car campaigned by Dale Earnhardt Jr.

He already drove a late model for JRM

And drove for Harry Scott's K&N team (which is a Hendrick supported team).

[Dylan]

So does that mean he'll be driving this livery for more than just the Darlington race?

"Gibbs said for now it's a one-race deal, but JGR is honored to work with the brand that has been a part of racing for decades -- including being the detergent that goes in the Air Titans when they wash the tracks."

Ricky Craven wore it best.

Will Tide be taking over after Dollar General leaves after 2016?

 

[MustangRyan]

Will Tide be taking over after Dollar General leaves after 2016?

If it means more of this car, I certainly hope so!

Word is Mobil 1

Gotta love the Tide Ride. 👍

Probably means Elliott Sadler will be shown the door

My guess is that if he has an impressive 2017 or 18 season, he might replace Kahne in the #5.

I was always partial to Ricky Rudd's #10 Tide Ford. Rudd is one of the most under-appreciated Sprint Cup drivers ever.

This. Rudd over Craven any day.

From a driver's standpoint, it's not even a debate. He was one of my favorite drivers when I started watching NASCAR.

I just think that the Tide paint scheme looked best in Craven's Pontiac.

Kenseth's looks as good as it could be on the Camry body... but it would look so much better on today's Ford.

Re: Craven, I think a lot of people really underrate him though. Not taking anything away from Rudd, but one has to consider that Craven spent almost two years out of racing because of various injuries, came back and won twice (in rather epic fashion, I must say) driving for a team that didn't produce anything without him at the wheel.

Everyone will remember his Darlington win but his actual first victory was pretty exciting as well.



Factoid only I remember. Craven could've also won at Michigan that same year but rain thwarted his chances:

And people say NASCAR is just full throttle and turn left sometimes. That was GREAT.
