Live look at the gasman of the 41

Austin acting on his crew chief's suggestion would definitely cement him in the column of drivers I like
Harvick's no angel, but if Dillon takes him out for THAT wreck, where you can hear him back out of the gas, that's BS.

Edit: Y'all are worried about that? Bit NNW? OK. Bit SE? Ehh. That little spit? pft.....

Watch it actually rain cats.

EDIT 2: AHH, YA 🤬 PANZIES!!! THAT'S A LIGHT SHOWER, GO LOOK AT THE FOOTAGE FROM THE JUNE INDY RACE, THAT WAS HEAVY RAIN!!! 🤬!

Loosing track, pace car coming in.

Sounds like Edwards w/ the win.

Well...🤬! What the 🤬 Mother Nature! What the 🤬 did we do exactly to piss you off juuuust enough for you to stick you middle finger in our eye ALL 🤬 YEAR!!! 🤬!
 
If Gibbs can get the #11 and #18 in the final four along with the #19, I think they've got a great chance for the title. Those two have been the strongest cars in JGR all season long with Edwards right behind them. Just get those guy in, and the #48 may have a run for his money.
 
Is Harvick going to choke at Phoenix? He has to be the prohibitive favorite there. I just want the 20 to get through to the finale.
 
*Thank you maintenance, I was reaching critical levels of rage*

I don't see more than 2 Gibbs cars in. Edwards might take next week off, but Kyle and Matt need to beat out Joey and hope that the 4 and 41 don't win. Unless JGR can get everything back in line, I think Kyle getting in may be enough of a challenge.
 
I'll be honest. I though for sure Edwards was done after Martinsville. Didn't believe they had enough speed to fight for the win. However, I say that he'll be the worst of the four at Homestead.

As for the last two that will advance, tough call. Harvick would've been an easy choice if it wasn't for the Dillon incident. Plus, the remaining competitors do really well at Phoenix as well, save for possibly Kenseth.
 
I'm content with my thought that Edwards probably would have won if it went the full distance. NASCAR did the right thing. I know there is a lot of angry people out there about it but the race was already delayed 5 or 6 hours, they made it pretty far past halfway and local time was after 10 pm. Add 3 hours to dry just for 40 laps and maybe even less depending when it would have went green. Nobody likes rain shortened races but it was the right call.

There really wasn't a 3-4 hour window even if they waited until today. Been raining all day in Fort Worth according to fans who live in the area
 
I think Harvick is a dick and I remember his first race and victory while everyone was still teay eyed over Dale Earnhardt's death. I don't think he'd be anyone if it weren't for him taking Dale's place at RCR after he died.

He has tons of taken in the trucks and Busch Series. He was definetly thrown in earlier than he should have been but RCR had no choice. Kevin really wasnt competitive until like 05-06. 2003 he was solid though.

I wonder if Dale Sr. was still alive, would RCR have expanded to a four car team in 2002, or would Kevin take over for Skinner, or would he take Dale Sr.'s ride once he hung it up.

That being said, Harvick has shown that he will do anything to get to the final four. I'm definitely gonna be watching to see if anything goes down between him and Dillon.

Let's be real, if Dale were alive today, he would be retired since about 2010 or 2011. Both due to age, and likely due to the fact that he would probably dislike the COT platform. So Harvick's ascent would have been delayed by roughly 3-6 years, and would definitely have been an extra car
