Hey there’s a lot more Cavaliers and Sunfires on the roads still than Celicas. The Goody’s Dash series cars were also 4 cylinder, so it made a bit more sense. When the series started compact cars were still RWD so they could still use the stock bodies like Pintos and Monzas. the last two are the Sunfire and Celica from near the end of the series.

Remember the Xfinity series was 6 cylinder powered until the late 80’s/early 90’s, in that case the Supra would be more appropriate.

All of the above cars had better proportions than whatever happened to the Supra

That hood just took a beating.

Good accident to show for promotional purposes at the expense of the teams and drivers. People love wrecks.

 

[AnthonyD1993]

Looked like that was a side draft gone bad.

Stenhouse causing 2 huge crashes within a half hour period.

Looks like Stenhouse forgot how to turn left in the middle of a corner.

 

[AnthonyD1993]

Slightly off topic- It seems odd as hell to me to hear Mike Tirico's voice at a NASCAR race. I've just gotten too used to him calling the NFL games for years.

 

[NotThePrez]

Moves support from Byron to Bowman.

Edit: Truex is charging hard to catch back up to the field.

 

[Blood Eagle]

17 goes around and the crowd goes nuts.

17 goes around and the crowd goes nuts.

On one hand, the 17 has been running really good. On the other, he pretty much caused the two biggest wrecks of the night. So, mixed feelings.

In other news, Kasey Khane is currently running in 3rd, will be 2nd once Jimmie serves his penalty.

BUBBA RUNNIN 4TH OOHHHH YYYEEAAAAJHHH BABBYYY

Tonight basically proves that much like in Pro Wrestling, if a driver is a big enough draw for the fans and/or is getting a big marketing push from NASCAR, they can get away with anything.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. needs to be suspended for his actions on-track tonight.

 

[NotThePrez]

Stenhouse blows his tire! His car is all torn up.

 

[AMPMROCKETFANN]

How convenient for everyone except Kasey Kahne. Also, expert driving by Bubba

 

[Dylan]

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. needs to be suspended for his actions on-track tonight.

In all fairness, that first crash only happened because of how big of a push he gave to Keselowski. And the second one happened cause he got tight in the middle of the corner. It even showed him putting more wheel in it in order to not hit Kyle. The only questionable thing he did was come down and bang doors with Almirola, which eventually led to Ricky's tire exploding.

"They're coming up to speed together"

Yes, that's usually what happens when they come to a green flag. Thanks for the insight NBC.

 

[NotThePrez]

It never ceases to amaze me how Harvick will seemingly come up out of nowhere late in a race to take the lead.

 

[AMPMROCKETFANN]

This is gonna be crash madness. Not a knock on NASCAR or plate racing, but with this many good drivers so close together, stuff is gonna go down

Called it. 🤬🤬🤬🤬

EDIT:: Wallace and Johnson in it. 🤬🤬🤬

 

[NotThePrez]

Aaaand they wreck right before the white flag. This race will never freaking end.

 

[Blood Eagle]

This is a frustrating race. Plate racing is trash.

 

[NotThePrez]

Red Flag. Will the race be called?

Edit: It just dawned on me that we're in a red flag with 3 to go during a 2nd overtime finish. This is actually kinda silly now.

 

[Dylan]

Red Flag. Will the race be called?

No. They'll rerack em' and try it again.

 

[LumpiestFish]

Red Flag. Will the race be called?

They’ve said they’re just going to overtime again. I’m hoping Erik Jones or Kahne now, hardly anyone left.

 

[AMPMROCKETFANN]

This is a frustrating race. Plate racing is trash.

Agreed on the first.

 

[Northstar]

There isn't a single member of the new NBC commentary team that doesn't make me want to jab a knife into my ears (I didn't watch last week so this is my first time hearing them).

Jeff Burton has an annoying voice, Dale has issues not messing up and Rick just sucks.

 

[Dylan]

DiBenedetto is restarting 5th!

 

[Dylan]

ERIK JONES WINS IT!!!

 

[LumpiestFish]

Good stuff Erik Jones!

 

[NotThePrez]

ERIK JONES GETS IT!!! And my roomates are pissed at my screaming.
