What about the 41?

As long as Haas continues funding his ride personally, I don't see him leaving. Maybe RCR in 2024, but that's probably unlikely.

There's a rumor making the rounds that Custer may be moving to Rick Ware Racing.

And somehow Cody Ware ends up at JGR 🤣

Nepotism, even though Custer's performance since last year has been less than impressive given who he races for.

 

[Dylan]

So maybe he’s not coming back next year?

 

[Northstar]

I’m not sure when they started doing it, but I’m happy to see NASCAR has taken up the idea of moving the timing line for qualifying to shortly before pit entry.

 

[ICEYOU3]

Happy to see Chase on the pole, I smell a 5th win tomorrow.

 

[ICEYOU3]

No luck for that #17 car this year! What an xfinity series race!

 

[Blitz24]

I hear he's also going to McLaren.

Indycar: There's a chance of rain. Let's move up the race start by 30 minutes to be safe. Rain does eventually hit late, but the track is dried fairly quickly and the race finishes at a decent time.

NASCAR: Let's schedule a race after 3:00 at a track with no lights. But hey, we have rain tires in the case of inclement weather since this is a road course. Start time comes and goes, nothing is happening...

 

[Dennisch]

They're getting ready to go. Drivers to their cars.

2000's: Rain incomming, delay delay delay!
2020's: Lightning one state over, delay delay delay!

Looks like NASCAR has opted to use single file restarts for the race. nice

 

[Dylan]

First wet weather race for the Next Gen car. Either gonna be really fun or complete chaos. No in between.

 

[Suzuki-Cara]

My bet's on a JGR or affiliated driver completely missing the inner loop opening lap

 

[ICEYOU3]

It appears to be quite dark out there.

 

[Veinz]

I have to go in for night shift in an hour, now I want to call in.

F1 fans have infiltrated the NASCAR reddit today. The whole sub is being inundated with questions like:

- If Kimi wins today, is he in the playoffs?

- Why does NASCAR not enforce track limits?

- Why does NASCAR not penalize cars that make contact with each other?

It’s quite a hoot 😂

 

[Northstar]

- Why does NASCAR not enforce track limits?

- Why does NASCAR not penalize cars that make contact with each other?

To be fair, I’ve been a NASCAR fan for 20 years and I ask those questions as well.

 

[ICEYOU3]

They pulled the cars on to pitroad, forget this I'm getting back on Gran Turismo.

Be sure to watch the weather radar so you can make the right tire choice in the pits.

It's bugged right now. Next patch should fix it.

 

[Tornado]

lmao what happens if Kimi wins this and qualifies for the playoffs after entering only one race

 

[Adamgp]

I don't see Kimi winning today, but I believe you have to be a full-time Cup driver to qualify for the playoffs.

 

[Dylan]

lmao what happens if Kimi wins this and qualifies for the playoffs after entering only one race

Need to attempt every race of regular season (unless given a waiver by NASCAR) and be at least top 30 in points to eligible for a playoff spot.

Ask Justin Haley a couple years ago. Or AJ Allmendinger earlier in the year when Chastain dumped him.

 

[Blitz24]

Larson win clinches a spot for Busch provided he can start Darlington. If he can't, then Blaney is in a good spot.

 

[Dylan]

Kyle Larson holds off the Dinger two days in a row to sweep Watkins Glen.

 

[Adamgp]

Pretty good race once it finally got started.

 

[ICEYOU3]

Good race, I'm sure Chase is saving bumps specifically for Larson in the post season.
