Fair point now that you mention it, I can't remember any Whelen cars that didn't have the 31.

They are sponsoring Dillon this weekend, but that's the only time I know of.

 

[RACECAR]

Well, there's the first one for me

Joey Hand makes debut at Charlotte Roval

Rick Ware Racing has enlisted the services of road-course racing ace Joey Hand to drive its #52 Rick Ware Racing

Joey Hand to be in the # 52 Rick Ware Cup car today. 👍

Another new Cup team, granted this one isn't a surprise since they announced it awhile back and we were just waiting on details.

GMS will run full time with Ty in the #94. Wouldn't be my first choice, but there's certainly worse options.

Also, RWR has formed an alliance with SHR and Roush-Yates, hopefully this, along with the rumor of them cutting back a car or two, is a sign the team is actually going to start trying.

I wonder if this will narrow down their manufacturer for next year to Chevy or Ford.

Ty was the best they could do? I feel like someone like Brett Moffitt could have been a better choice. Also when did GMS start aligning with Childress?

Ty may not be the fastest, but he finishes races, which is rather helpful when you're a new team.

On talent alone perhaps, but race seats have never been purely about talent.

The fact Brett has been through so many teams also seems to hint that there's more to the issue than just money.

Also when did GMS start aligning with Childress?

Since now. If you want to make it as a small Cup team you pretty much have to have an alliance with one of the super teams, especially with a completely new car and rumored lack of practice next year.

Which makes perfect sense that they took Dillon as that would nearly guarantee an ECR Engine (unless Ty is on Richard's least favorite grandchild list for some reason).

Harvick exacts revenge on Elliott and spins him into the wall.

 

[Northstar]

You would think Hendrick teams would be smart enough to not blatantly say they plan on wrecking someone over a widely accessible radio channel.

Also, A.J. is done.

Slight difference between this and Logano/Kenseth in 2015? Elliott is (for now) still in contention.

 

[Northstar]

NASCAR is such a 🤬 joke.

 

[MrT17]

Kevin Harvick doesn't worth spit, what an a-hole

 

[Blood Eagle]

They would have black flagged any other car a long time ago. Just enjoy the show now.

 

[Dennisch]

Good job Kevin. Didn't even need a Chase kiss to do it.

 

[Panoz]

Harvick failed so hard, it's hilarious.

 

[MrT17]

Karma!!!

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

Harvick failed so hard, it's hilarious.

 

[Northstar]

Karma would be both those idiots missing the cut. Chase needs to go directly to race control after the race and kiss the feet of whoever decided to not black flag him.

 

[Blood Eagle]

Only bad part was 2 guys who wanted to kill each other could have taken 2 guys out who weren’t a part of it and ruined their days.

 

[Blitz24]

Larson wins the Roval.
Hamlin, Larson, Logano, Blaney, Ky. Busch, Elliott, Keselowski and Truex Jr. advance.

Harvick, Bell, Byron and Bowman are eliminated.

Larson up 60 or so points for the round of 8.

 

[Adamgp]

Chase should have been black flagged for the half-assed repair job, but other than that, a decent race.

 

[ICEYOU3]

I especially liked how Chase wished the #4 team a happy off-season and a Merry Christmas, so classy of him... lol

Chase would be wise to let things go at this point.

[Blitz24]

Once Chase got back into the race, the payback potential was there, but it was minimized because he didn't need to start pushing his luck.

Piss off the guy with nothing to lose anymore. What’s the worst that can happen?

 

[Dylan]

Byron is out which makes me sad. He should have won this race. But he didn’t so it is what it is
