There were some fisticuffs between Burton and Gragson after tonight's race. It seems pretty easy for guys on the bottom to get loose, at least in the Busc...Xfinity cars. We'll see about the Cup boys Sunday.

Almirola’s been driving like his job is in jeopardy lately so maybe he’s not as secure with his Smithfield funding as everyone thinks

He’s lucking out on the draw lately as well. Top 5 starts like all the time. Better than he can qualify regularly.

Exciting finish, congrats to Custer.
Just wish I could sync the commentary and the video on the NASCAR website.

Great finish to a bad race (just like last year). Kentucky is absolutely the worst track on the schedule (with or without this package) but the finishes make sure everyone forgets about the actual racing.
Great job by Cold Custard always having his car in the exact right position at every moment of the last 2 laps. His season is the same story as the race itself, great result in a bad season for him.

Interesting....almost sounds like a stock car equivalent to Robby Gordon’s Stadium Super Trucks. Or the short track IROC (though road courses seem like a possibility)

The way they describe it in the linked article, that sounds like it's tailored specifically to be summer filler for network TV. Might be entertaining as a novelty I guess, but given how CBS has developed a habit of mangling everything they touch the last few years, I'd say keep your expectations tempered.

Tony Stewart's new auto racing league sounds like it might be a good idea. However, reality has a way of kicking new ideas in the head. But I surely will watch while it lasts!

These two all-star schemes don’t look terrible since they’ve obviously been designed around the number placement, but it seems like a large chunk of the teams are just racing their regular schemes with the number moved and sponsor slapped on the door. And it doesn’t look good.

Number placement is fine, it's just different.

I don't really mind the number being moved like that either, so long as some effort is made to accommodate the change in layout. To be honest, considering a lot of schemes normally have the spot just in front of the rear wheel as dead space or partially filled with small decals you can't see very clearly, this actually looks a bit cleaner and more efficient. And hey, the larger space for a primary sponsor might actually attract more companies to come in an advertise, which NASCAR sorely needs these days.

CashApp has signed a multi-year partnership as the primary sponsor for RPM. They'll be present on the 43 car for 5 events this year, including the Southern 500 and the Bristol Night Race.
Not the prettiest race car in the world if I'm honest, but it's good to see Bubba and the 43 team landing a primary sponsor, especially one that's completely new to the sport.

I thought the race should have been longer and the final stage being 15 laps doesn’t really allow enough time to formulate anything. It’s literally like 4 minutes of racing.

That race wasn’t good. The FOX coverage was even worse than usual, and I don’t know why the track didn’t develop two grooves, whether the segments were too short to lay rubber down or they needed other cars on track (practice or preliminary races). But whatever it was it was a perfect storm to produce the first bad Bristol race in a very long time.
Also this race showed how much we miss having slow cars on track for the fast cars to pass

Race was fine. Needed to be longer. Only got about 40ish minutes of actual racing. Underglow would have been cooler if it was in more places than just the back, and if the teams could choose the colors. Choose line should stay, but the picking of lines should be televised every time.
And the numbers belong in the middle of the doors.

The lane choice for everyone was a nice gimmick. The underglow would have been better had they gone by teams, not manufacturers (also, the 4 drivers who advanced from the Open and didn't have the light is a weak excuse). None of the cars looked good with the numbers near the rear tire. Finally (and I'll get a lot of flack for this), the fact that 30,000 people were in the stands and it didn't look like they were properly distanced is an extremely poor look during a pandemic. Especially jarring when you see all of them crowd the fence to congratulate Elliott.
