They do owe him for the BS “wet track” caution which cost him the win at Daytona to be fair.

Chase will get plenty of wins in his career but damn NASCAR really puts him in the position a lot. I liked the race overall but NASCAR has a boner for the 9.

It was a good race, but the inexperience of the drivers was very apparent. A part of me wonders if perhaps some of the issues would have been at least partially resolved by NASCAR enforcing track limits and driving standards.
Also, top 5 for Allmendinger and Kaulig!
Yes, it happens, even in series that do it regularly.

I wonder if the stage racing getting removed in rain events MIGHT have prevented those types of accidents. There wouldn't have been those bunched up restarts.It was a good race, but the inexperience of the drivers was very apparent.

Well that was crazy - kind of the NASCAR equivalent of the 2019 F1 German Grand Prix where the rain made for an insane race. Was nice to see Wallace running so high for a bit, even if it did ultimately end in disaster. Being a Haas fan, I'm still waiting for Harvick to get a win this season. Can't really claim to know much at all about NASCAR as it's my first season watching it but Kyle Busch is really impressing me thus far. Looking forward to NASCAR races as much as the F1 these days!

Never could stand Harvick. But for once he is right. That race was an utter joke as was the winner. But NASCAR seen their opportunity to get their golden boy a win and took it. #WWEonWheels

Agree with Harvick re the safety issues, the lack of visibility was insane.

Oh come on, really? How can you say that with the dreadful conditions on the track? It was done in the interest of safety and Elliot just happened to be leading at the time. NASCAR didn't give the race to him intentionally, that's ridiculous.

I wished I remembered to watch much more of NASCAR's races at Circuit of the Americas. Otherwise, it was a great weekend. Maybe what I was most surprised about is that NASCAR ran the full COTA layout. I thought maybe NASCAR would run an abbreviated layout. On top of that, racing in the rain was commendable. Because I grew up in racing as a road racing fan, I appreciated and admired NASCAR taking on a modern Grand Prix course and even in the rain. Stock cars were not meant to be road racing masters, but still giving it a shot and racing competitively is worth my respect. If I had to grade the whole handling of the races, I'd give it A- or an A.
Fabulous weekend in Austin! After many attempts to bring a proper circuit to the Houston/Galveston area, I've slowly begun to adopt COTA as my "home" track, though Austin is about three to four hours drive west of Houston.

I'm still amazed at Kurt's avoidance of his brother and Dillon at the hairpin. How did he pull that off?

Seemed 40% luck and 60% talent to me. Was pretty crazy to watch.

Just started watching the race. Happy to see Bubba hovering around 10th-11th place, hoping he can keep it consistent tonight. Chevys are looking pretty strong indeed. Might be too early to call, but so far Larson seems like the favorite to win, though any of the Top-3 Hendrick cars could take it.

They finally figured out the non simetrical Chevy body. Huge flair on the driver rear wheel well compared to the Ford and Toyota. Only took like 4 years.

I'm disappointed with tonight's race, so what exactly does this package achieve, given Larson won with 10 seconds over second? It gives the illusion of closer racing because of more chaotic restarts, but passing is twice as hard as it was before. What's the point?
