Make it two wins in The Chase for Kyle Larson. All the momentum is with the No. 5 team through the first four races.

Rumblings of this were discussed on the teardown. Attendance has not been good recently and it’s hard to go against the Chiefs, maybe move the race out of the chase?

Unstoppable force vs immovable object: Even year Logano vs Chase Jimmie/Chad 2.0 with Larson/Cliff. Who gets the last laugh?

50 Upvotes

Still two flat tracks and three 1.5ers. Larson prolly has a slight advantage but then there’s Talladega which by his history is nearly guaranteed to be a P30 or worse.

Maybe it’s all a red herring for Hamlin to finally pop his cherry? Perhaps Bell or Blaney go on a Linsanity run and steal it? I love the Chase compared to the “storylines” the playoffs produced.

Earlier in the year my job caused me to miss out on a lot of quality family time. I decided to try and make it up with my ten year old son by getting us track passes and showing up earlier in the day for the Kansas race. He brought some of his favorite cards from his personal collection in hopes of getting something signed and overall the day was a major hit. Thank you to nascar and the drivers who made his day. I will forever be grateful for the core memory that was made for him.

First NASCAR race ever.Connor Zilisch signed my forehead and then local Fox 4 interviewed me on TV.

I went to my very first NASCAR race weekend, bought some merch, and had the chance to get some autographs. I figured, why not get one on my forehead just for the love of the game.

I walked up to Connor Zilisch, asked him if he'd sign my forehead, and he said, "Hell yeah."

Shortly after, the local news crew from Fox 4 came around interviewing fans before the race. They saw the autograph on my forehead and interviewed me about it.https://fox4kc.com/sports/nascar/nascar-fans-pack-into-kansas-speedway-for-hollywood-casino-400/

It was my first race ever, and I really, and I mean really, enjoyed it a 10/10 experience.

Best stretch of Austin Cindric’s career?

32 Upvotes

Cindric finished 2nd on Sunday, but he’s had a good Chase so far.

Darlington — 13
Gateway — 10
Bristol — 11
Kansas — 2

Before the Chase

Richmond — 3
New Hampshire — 12
Daytona — 6

8.4 average finish the last 7 races. Perhaps he’s figuring it out. Been consistent every week of late.

What was Toyota doing with the splitter

28 Upvotes

After nascar stepped in and made teams reinforce Le with he splitters, Toyota seems to have come back to the field a bit. Any word on how they were manipulating them? Just curious. After the changes some teams(23xl) seem way off, Gibbs seems to be a little off from what they were.
