Well this result sucks.

 

[RACECAR]

Might be the most booed Xfinity Champion in a long time.

Has Kyle Busch even had THIS much hate? I remember the boos from winning races but from what I keep hearing, sounds like this kid might've taken the crown in a single season.

Seeing this kid get the chip makes Noah's comments this week all the more richer lol. On to tomorrow! #9in22

Seeing Troll Gibbs win just sucks. I think back to the last true "family owns the team so I'm guaranteed a spot" champion in Austin Dillon.

Austin took a lot of heat for his situation and for winning, but he handled himself with so much more class tham Gibbs has. He also didn't simply wreck people to get through. I think had he done it RCR would have sat him down for it. Doubt Gibbs is getting the same back room corrections.

To be honest, I don't think so. Not even Lewis Hamilton in F1 came close in my opinion.

I wonder how it'll be when he gets to race in the Cup Series next season.

 

[ICEYOU3]

Happy Raceday folks! Number nine will take it today!

 

[Nico_Ble99]

Imagine Chastain Hail Melon-ing it to clinch the Championship.

Jokes aside, I think it'll be a close fight between the #9 and #22.

I'm confident Elliott has the car to beat the other three, I just hope his pitcrew ACTUALLY shows up today (which they haven't been doing recently).

Kyle Busch DID have this much hate. Jeff Gordon was pelted with beer cans after winning Talladega. Ty Gibbs will keep receiving this reception until he races cleanly.

Fair enough. But did KB actually revice this amount of hate that quickly?

I think the hatred started escalating quickly when he tapped and spun Dale Jr. at Richmond in 2008.

 

[Dylan]

No Steve Letarte in the booth today.

 

[Blitz24]

Looks like nobody from the Gibbs family will be at the race today due to a family emergency. There is no indication yet on who the replacement driver will be.

Sounds like Hemric if he can fit in the seat.

I do wonder what the emergency is?

Hemric will be the driver of the 23.

Sadly Coy Gibbs passed away.

 

[Dolph Drago]

Sadly Coy Gibbs passed away.

No matter how much anyone may hate Ty right now, this is absolutely terrible news to hear.

 

[Dylan]

Sadly Coy Gibbs passed away.

I can’t even begin to imagine what Ty Gibbs must be going thru right now. Truly awful news to hear.

 

[ICEYOU3]

Indeed, I wonder how the 20 team will respond.

 

[Dylan]

Halfway in stage 2 and nobody seems to have anything for Joey Logano.

 

[ICEYOU3]

A little baffled, the 9 team looks so strong in practice. Maybe they're waiting for for the track temps to change?

 

[girabyt3]

Sadly Coy Gibbs passed away.

My condolences to Ty, Joe Gibbs and their family... Ty must feel like Michael Waltrip felt in Daytona 2001...

 

[Nico_Ble99]

Oh oh...

 

[Dylan]

CHASE ELLIOTT SPINS AND HITS THE INSIDE WALL!

 

[Blitz24]

Chase Elliott spins and may have broken the toe link.

Update: Toe link is bent. The car still looks very good but there are obviously pressure points that could easily end a day. Elliott spun off the nose of Chastain.

 

[Dylan]

Looked like Chastain and Elliott and both wanted to go left, but Elliott wanted to go left a little more and he turned himself over the nose of Ross.

 

[Nico_Ble99]

That'll be it for Chase. Down by two laps now.

 

[girabyt3]

Racing incident... Chastain went for the gap and Chase went down to block...

 

[Blitz24]

That'll be it for Chase. Down by two laps now.

Might have spoken too soon. Looks like they somehow fixed it. He's only 1 lap down and there is a lot of time left.
