We had 4 clown shows a year with daytona and Talledega. Then we brought in Bristol dirt. Now we will have 2 more with Atlanta. Indy Road course turned into a clown show with a track mishap. Any road course will be a clown show with rain (COTA last year).
To be honest this is the first year in MANY years that I’ve been excited for NASCAR every single week and it’s the same with everyone I talk to. I’m glad they’re switching things up and making it interesting again. Do I think they should keep adding super speedways? Absolutely not. But the new Atlanta is really cool and that is the kind of exciting racing that will fill the stands and keep the sport around.
Great race. Marcus is a genius. Keep pissing them off Marcus. If they can’t handle it, they can stay home. Hundreds just like them that would love to have the shot.
The only thing more offensive than trying to build Daytona conditions on a 1.5 was the fact they took so many breaks on green flags right after taking none for 15 minutes of yellows
A hard hit after running second for so many laps at the end of a race, he catches his breath by simply bending over Random guy on Reddit sitting on his ass at home:”Wallace is unbelievably dramatic”
They also need to work together and organize better. Years past you would see drivers make moves on the leaders together and you never see that anymore. They just scramble and completely ruin their momentum.
The part that puzzles me is why they don't get some coordination ahead of time in all these manufacters meetings. Like, on 5 all Fords drop to the bottom. Okay, sure it can't be that simple, but surely the odds of getting one of your cars in victory lane is higher if you don't go with the "let's all go nuts on the last lap" strategy.
That was like a gen6 plate race. They were single file for the majority of the last few laps and then they all went for it and wrecked on the last lap.
I don’t get why people disliked it so much, wrecks are part of racing what are they supposed to do anytime someone crashes just stop the race? It was a race it’s over get over it.
If you enjoyed that, I’m happy for you. However I really hope that this doesn’t happen to every 1.5 mile track. It was close to impossible to pass on the bottom unless you had a run from the top lane off of the other corner and the racing resulted to 90% luck and 10% skill.
Chastain had to make a move, he waited too late though, everyone (other than Byron, obviously) did. Bell and Chase both tried, no one had the balls to go with them.
Credit to Chase for trying. Wonder when the rest of the idiots will learn you will not win waiting to make your move with 2 laps or less. For a sport that is starting to rely on analytics, they sure do ignore the biggest one - you will not win from 5th on back waiting to make a move.
ughhhhh, literally the one person in the lead pack i didn't wanna see win. as much as the whole team order shit can be annoying, im okay with it if it means that drivers can actually work together on the final laps and not hang each other out to dry

Just finished race via DVR. Absolutely loved it! Predicted Chastain a week ago for the win. Came damn close.
Checkers or wreckers! I dindn’t watch it all but it was pretty good for atlanta.

What a garbage race. Worst so far of Next Gen by far.
nah it was a great race u trippin
Better than Phx. That race sucked.
Maybe the 'worst' of the short-so-far Next Gen season but naww it wasn't too bad lol
Wallace is unbelievably dramatic.
A hard hit after running second for so many laps at the end of a race, he catches his breath by simply bending over Random guy on Reddit sitting on his ass at home:”Wallace is unbelievably dramatic”
Driver is winded after a huge hit
Well...if we're stuck with this track and format for the time being, at least shorten the race to 400 miles.
I bought tickets, I went ahead and took off work till Tuesday just in case
This Atlanta repave was quite entertaining, Chastain is going to win a race this year
[удалено]
He’s fine. Wind knocked out of him
He looked ok, but he's gonna feel that for the next few days for sure. 2 hard hits into the SAFER
Kurt and Trackhouse in the top 5, hell yeah, let's go!
I thought that was a great race! Good racing and a lot of excitement. So glad Nascar didn't throw the caution too early at the end.
Ross is so close 😫
It's coming
He looks good in that car.
Damn yall trying real hard to be Debby downers in here, so glad I barely checked the thread lol
You missed a lot of misery!
Nothing beats watching people cross the line backwards, upside down or airborne
Wait did they DQ Bell? Even though Chastain pushed him below the line?
Chastain didn't force him down, might want to watch it again
He now finishes last car on the lead lap
bell ruined his chance to win just to finish at the end of the lead lap
When are these idiots going to learn not to wait til the last lap to make a move

Seriously. If you’re not second, or maybe third, you’re not even going to have a chance.
So what caused all the wrecks? The pavement, the banking, the turns, or the tires?
Format .
Tires, but it could be set up because it was only Chevy drivers.
I would say it was the banking, coming off it into the transition into the tri-oval
Way better than Atlanta in recent years... not the best race, but fun and entertaining
Because the car was shit!
Very hard hit for Bubba.
NASCAR is the WWE of racing
Has been for a while
Second week in a row Suarez drove straight through some for like 8th.
Daniel with the second highest points earned today 👏🏽
Goddamn it. Even good days are ruined by something.
Well, Bell did go below the line. Can’t really question that
Oh shoot. Chastain does get second
I meant Chastain not Bubba with the move on the backstretch.
COREY LAJOIE TOP 5
StackingPennies!
Ty nascar for actually making the call
JGR and the terrible awful good for nothing day.
Bubba got loose and stacked the outside lane. Tough stuff
Bubba ran out of talent at the end.
That was like Superspeedway racing on crack. Don’t make every 1.5 miler like this but geez that was exciting
Ty Gibbs rubbing his little hands together
LFGGGGGGGG LAJOIE 5TH
They DQ’d Bell?
That was like a gen6 plate race. They were single file for the majority of the last few laps and then they all went for it and wrecked on the last lap.
Poor Kaulig, but WHERE DID KURT COME FROM FOR A FOURTH PLACE?
I know I’m supposed to feel good for/about Ross but I just can’t bring myself to
I've always been more of a results person than a storyline guy
NASCAR app is so trash. Finishing order is all fucked up.
Haha man seems like their decades long struggle with the website might be extending to the app?
Kurt Busch with another out of nowhere top 5?
That's Kurt being Kurt.
Damn, Chastain really said “Maybe second” about Bell’s questionable white line crossing
And he was right
Chastain and company have been bringing in the last few weeks!
Fuckin bulldoze that track. Terrible racing. Good for Byron at least I guess. Glad it seems everyone is ok after that wreck
They did bulldoze it. They have a pretty good track now. Watch the replay
They were timid as hell, didn’t even challenge Byron. Most boring driver brought it home
Meh race. Open up the enginee and end this drafting package
It will still be a drafting package dude lol. They will just hit eachother harder
I don’t get why people disliked it so much, wrecks are part of racing what are they supposed to do anytime someone crashes just stop the race? It was a race it’s over get over it.
Everybody who was just chilling in the outside lane instead of following Chase or Bell etc on the bottom at various times was stupid
12 had an easy chance to go in front of the 20 with like 3 to go. Wish he would have.
This would be cool if it was the all star race, but that's about it.
Four hours to end up with that nonsense for a finish? Why don’t we just save everyone the torn up race cars and have a Yahtzee tournament on pit road?
I mean, the guy that won was near the front all day
Nobody: Not a single soul:
“Maybe second” lol
Well all of that sucked.
Looks like a bomb's going off over in turn three!
Trackhouse with 2 top 5s. That's tremendous
Are we counting wins here as superspeedway wins when counting records? Seems complicated
They just drove around single file the last 10 laps and gave away the win to Byron. No one even contested him wtf
Yep they all think they can win on the last lap but they always wreck when they try
Welcome to SS racing the last five years.
I mean...Chase pulled out to try something, and you saw what happened to him.
Biffle higher than Harvick
Wow, this track really is racing like a superspeedway.
If you enjoyed that, I’m happy for you. However I really hope that this doesn’t happen to every 1.5 mile track. It was close to impossible to pass on the bottom unless you had a run from the top lane off of the other corner and the racing resulted to 90% luck and 10% skill.
Hopefully it's the only 1.5 mile like this on the schedule. I think it raced better than Daytona in my opinion though
You know for a fact the next SMI track to get a repave is getting this same treatment
I've never seen drivers fight so hard to lose. They all just handed it to Byron.
That's what happened every plate race though.
Say what you will about the rest of the race. That last lap was pretty damn amazing.
Kurt Busch sneaks another top 5.
well to be fair, Kiekhaefer owned like 15 cars..........
Being a Mark Martin fan prepared me for the disappointment of being a Blaney fan.
Blaney is the anti-Kevin Harvick.
Yep. I know he is strong on Super Speedways. But I am starting to think he lacks a killer instinct.
It’s one in the same
The ultimate gimmicky race
LETS GO
Why do people wreck just to wreck. The 17 tore up 4-5 cars at the line with no chance to win
Fox better not overshadow that wreck and show us replays
Not gonna happen. Especially if Bubba is potentially hurt
Awesome race. I kind of wanted to see Suarez win.
Bell should get penalized for that pass, I think Lajoie just got a top 5 finish
Axalta like: 😮💨
Chastain has really showed up the last few weeks. This man has came to play with the big boys.
Still bad crash angles
Chastain had to make a move, he waited too late though, everyone (other than Byron, obviously) did. Bell and Chase both tried, no one had the balls to go with them.
How the fuck did Kurt end up 4th lol that was amazing!
Glad we can see a bigoted university in victory lane! Wohooo
Huh? What am i missing here.
Glad Willy B won, shame its the fuckers from Liberty sponsoring
How appropriate that in Jeff's return to the booth, the 24 pulls into victory circle
Rigged!!!!
Credit to Chase for trying. Wonder when the rest of the idiots will learn you will not win waiting to make your move with 2 laps or less. For a sport that is starting to rely on analytics, they sure do ignore the biggest one - you will not win from 5th on back waiting to make a move.
Gimmicky sport. 6 demo derbys a year because fans jerk off over crashing to the finish. Im gonna be sticking to F1 and Indycar mostly this year
Enjoy your money fueled, political F1 racing bud. See ya
Imagine thinking anyone cares.
won’t miss your cryin ass. Bye
Okay bye have fun
Happy for good guy WEEYUM “Willy B” BARN tho
How did he get his start again?
Pain after having my entire flair in the top 6
Well I mean, do we need 6 superspeedway races a year? Mmmm I don't think so, did I enjoy the race? Uh, I'm sorry but yeah lol
Congrats to Corey lajoie on a 6th place finish
Goddamn that's awesome
Bell 100% with an illegal pass.
He definitely forgot you couldn't go beneath the white line
WHYYYY DID FREDDIE TELL HIM TO CATCH THE 12 NOW LOOK WHAT HAPPENED
We'll find out this week
Maybe an unpopular opinion but I like new Atlanta better than old Atlanta.
As proven by Fontana the car sucked ass.
With the way it ran the past few years, that's like saying you prefer to be shot in the foot rather than the knee. Still sucks.
Great finish, they actually made the last 10 laps without wrecking till the end
That is a no from me dawg
A little anti climactic. Everyone worked against each other at the end. Also pretty sure Bell should be black flagged
[удалено]
Just like yesterday. Blue ball finish
Happy for Byron. I hate this shitwhow
Would have loved a Bubba win today... Gutted for him, he's almost there. This season has been interesting for him.
Every Hendrick car has won this year except the 9.
Just wait till next week
What a race! I'm not sure why this sub is hating it so much.
If you can’t understand why full throttle racing is disliked then you won’t understand why people dislike this race.
Global supply of salt is low, so they want to do their part to replenish it.
There wasn't much racing, just a lot of riding and being stuck without options.
Great day for Trackhouse
Waiting doesn't work.
I have genuinely no clue how Kurt came in 4th but wow what a finish overall, loved it
He was sandbagging until the last lap apparently.
Top 10 Finishers:
You don't have enough time to wait until the white flag like you do at the big bois.
ok call bell for going below the yellow pls pls pls pls pls pls pls
Was hoping Ross would pull it off
[удалено]
If Bell didn’t black flag himself he could have given the push to Chastain
Youth wins the weekend
COMMERCIAL BREAKS
Where's the beef?
Corey finishes 6th! Outstanding!
Blaney hit Wallace way to hard in turn 1. Ruined Briscoe's day too.
Well that was a bit anticlimactic. Byron barely had to do anything. Oh well perfect ending for a meh race.
ughhhhh, literally the one person in the lead pack i didn't wanna see win. as much as the whole team order shit can be annoying, im okay with it if it means that drivers can actually work together on the final laps and not hang each other out to dry
Can’t wait to vote No later
Nice finish for Bubba
You ever seen an asshole? If not you should install a mirror in your house.
No one wanted to push anybody, so made it easy for Byron
Kurt Busch yet again ends up top 5
Ross Chastain fucks up the status quo to ensure a Hendrick win. Lmao. Hendrick MVP goes to the 1, hands down.
Shout out to Bell going below the line, joke of a driver
Got shoved down there. Get bent.
Lajoie top 10👍👍👍
