NASCAR Weekend @ Chicagoland

It's time for the first race of the latest edition of the Chase for the Sprint Cup. Who will be the strongest in the opening three races? Which four drivers will be eliminated after Dover? Can NASCAR get the diehards to care?

Kyle Busch was fastest in first practice and will start on the pole after qualifying was rained out. Also, Joey Gase is hopelessly slow.

There's also the Nationwide and Truck races, but nobody cares about that.

Trucks are postponed...

I care about Trucks more than Cup.

Watch Almirola pull a David Reutimann and pass Jeff Gordon for the win.

And news is out Marcos Ambrose isn't coming back to NASCAR after this season.

Brian Scott wins NW Pole, Blaney starts 2nd

Actual game > Post-race interviews that aren't important. I can understand why they cut so quickly.

Kyle Busch 67
Mark Martin 49
Kevin Harvick 44
Carl Edwards 38
Jack Ingram 31

Top 5 NW Winners (0 Cup Championships)

Only Champions in top 10 is Brad and Kenseth

Bubba Wallace has a tire pop as he's sliding into his pit box due to said tire going down/having no tread.

First time, I think I ever saw something in that type of nature.

GG Ray Black Jr?

Todd Shafer, go home, your drunk.

Only lead lap car that didn't pit was Austin Dillon who was 6th but behind all the lapped trucks

Then why does kyle get a wave-around then?



EDIT : and the 03 who has 0 speed cost the 20 the win...

Because the leader at the time of the restart (Aillon) was behind the lapped trucks (including Kyusch).

Quiet dinner tonight for Ricky and Danica

OMG DANICA AND STENHOUSE ALL OVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!

Keselowski moves on!!!
Great run for Larson, but Kes had the car, only got back in traffic because of a loose wheel...

Also... Logano? Did you blew up?

I wanted Larson to win, but Brad was too damn fast, which I am okay with.

He got some trash on his grill with like 5 to go.

Helluva run by Kez, Larson, Gordon and Harvick. I thought it was a pretty good race overall. I'll give it a 7.0/10.

I'd give it a 7.8/10. The top five finishers couldn't be any better for me. My Homestead predicted four plus the kid who's rapidly becoming my favorite driver in 3rd.

Alright race. Very slow start but a decent 2nd half makes up for it.

That 2 team is on a killing spree this year and it doesn't seem like it's stopping anytime soon, Larson with another great run a proving he's worth all the hype.

I really hate that Almirola had the engine go, That team got out of the gate better than expected and were looking for a monster points day. Sadly it all went wrong.

Yeah Denny ran over I think a windshield tear off coming out of turn 2 and and it landed right on Joey's grill.
