Wow!!! What a finish! Congrats to Suarez. It's been a long time coming for him to get another win.
On a different note, was anyone else annoyed by the camera work during the crashes? It felt like every time someone had an issue, they would zoom in on that car and completely miss the rest of the crash that was happening around them. It used to be they would pan out to catch all the chaos.

That was one of the best races I've ever seen. It had everything from start to finish.

Suarez, Blaney, and Busch were all smashing the throttle so hard on that finish, I’m surprised they didn’t have to be pulled out of their cars with broken right feet.
Seriously though, amazing finish. Has there ever been a three-wide photo finish before?

Granted it was enough to see who came in third, but that is not a half car length.

Next time i hear someone complain about the door numbers being pushed forward, I'm gonna just ask them what they notice about the 73 car in this picture.

The Sports Business Journal is saying NASCAR is looking at Dodger Stadium for next year's Southern California race. The story says it's unclear whether it would be in the parking lot (like F1 was in south Florida) or in the stadium (like the Clash was in the Coliseum), but I strongly suspect it would be the former based both on the small size and overall configuration of Dodger Stadium (the Coliseum track wouldn't fit, and there appears to be no semi-sized connection to the outside) and the shorter time available to restore the field. Looking at Google Maps, there appears to be room to create a half-to-3/4-mile track with a proper pit road and inside-the-track hauler parking in the parking lot using lots 2 and 3 and parts of lots 4 and F if they don't want to do a street-type circuit.

MBM Motorsports is also (allegedly) back in Cup, with Timmy Hill at COTA. MBM's last Cup race was the spring 2022 Talladega race, and Hill's only attempt in a NextGen car was a failed 2022 Daytona 500 attempt in the MBM #66 (qualified 42nd of 42, finished 20th/last of the runners, 4 laps down in Duel 2).

Kobayashi won't be in the #67, but the #50 at COTA. 23XI will be running that number, with The Money Team's blessing, 3 times this season with 3 different drivers to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Mobil 1. Presumably, it will officially be the #150 team, the first time in quite a while we've seen a 3-digit team in Cup, and a bit longer since said 3-digit team shared the on-car digit(s) with another team in the same season.
