New Ford trucks front end for next season.

 

[ICEYOU3]

Ford's designs just don't translate that well to NASCAR's body requirements like the other two manufacturers do.

Funny. I think it's the better looking one. Personal preference I guess.

Kinda scared to see how the new Tundra is gonna look. The grill on the new one is MASSIVE.

Yes.

 

[ICEYOU3]

It honestly doesn't look all that bad in its nascar form.

 

[Dylan]

Not as horrible as I thought it would be, but not great.

Edit: looks a bit better here.

Daniel Hemric will take over for Haley in Kaulig's #11. I feel like next year will either be the year he finally breaks through or cements his status as "close but just not good enough". As a Kaulig fan I certainly hope it's the former.

Hemric joins Kaulig for 2022 Xfinity Series

Daniel Hemric will move to Kaulig Racing next season and drive the organization’s No. 11 Chevrolet in the Xfinity Series. “The belief that Matt Kaulig and Chris Rice have in me to come drive their …

I'm guessing Nemechek and Gibbs fill the now-vacant full-time seats at Gibbs.

Edit: Berry put on a clinic during that final stage, JR Motorsports is going to be very tough to beat next year.

Pretty good race so far. Except for the Joey Gase crash.

 

[Dylan]

Pain. Byron starts the first round with a tire issue ending his night, and now starts the second round with another tire issue.

 

[Northstar]

Denny wins another round opener, really hope he finally gets a championship.

Pretty good race so far. Except for the Joey Gase crash.

Joey Gase has been released from hospital.

 

[yellosnake]

Always liked Joey Gase and the cause he supports. Organ donation is a very worthy cause and needs more awareness.

Dang that kinda sucks. Xfinity at Mid-Ohio was always good.

Edit: Just found the schedules. At least Mid-Ohio gets trucks.

Looks like it’s supposed to rain today. Might not get the whole race in.

It's a good thing they have and can afford lights at Talladega!

Hello rain.

Race has been rescheduled for 1PM eastern tomorrow. Will air on NBCSN.

 

[Northstar]

Postponed to tomorrow, not sure why they didn't just run 2 laps behind the pace car and call it good like the pinnacle of motorsports does.
