If they rig anything for Chase, I hope they change this to a night race next year…it was way too hot, especially since you can’t bring in coolers. It was my 13 year old daughter’s first race and she really enjoyed it.
So I watch the race on YT TV and they had it listed as an episode of Law and Order called "Privilege" and if that doesn't sum up the lack of caution call idk what does
His crew is complete dogshit. Pit - wheel isn't tight enough, come back in. Still under caution, comes back around for pit#2...they screw around and goes a lap down.
My friend, Ricky Stenhouse was out of the groove in texas and that got called a caution. Sure it may have been the worst caution I've ever seen, but when a car is going well below minimum speed bellowing smoke from both wheel wells that is always a yellow flag
Look, I love the “NASCAR is rigged for Chase” conspiracy theories as much as the next tin foil hat wearing man, but honestly, we didn’t need it. Kez was down on the apron and of no risk to the rest of the field.
They also didn’t throw the yellow for Blaney until his horizontal car was sliding down the banking. If Blaney had corrected it after he hit the wall, I think they would’ve stayed green.
Not only did Kyle Busch pit and lose track position, but he only took 2 tires so he was not only behind a shit ton of cars, but he was also at a disadvantage to every other driver that pit. And it’s not like he would’ve lost any track position to the other pitters at all by taking 4
I feel like it’s more: they look to the sky “atta boy redneck Jesus” crack open a cold one take a few sips then fall back asleep to the sounds of Jeff Foxworthy
Cannot believe how many teams pitted there and threw away good finishes despite seeing all night now huge track position was with minimal tire wear to boot. Just for example, the 23 stayed out and went from 23rd to finishing 12th after restarting 10th. Meanwhile the 18/11/19 went from 2/3/4 to finishing 6th/21st/23rd.
I'm conflicted. Brad drove right by pit road when he very clearly should have gotten off track, but regardless that was a clear safety issue to have him puttering around disabled like that and exact reason you have a yellow flag.
yeah the intentionally being an obstacle on track is getting egregious. I'm of the opinion that a caution should be called, but a veteran like Keselowski should know better than that.
In the criminal justice system, gas guzzling based offenses are considered especially heinous. In New York City, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Sports Utility Vehicle. These are their stories
Blown engines frequently put down oil on the track. I have no issue with that caution. A car parked on the backstretch with the entire pack of cars going 150+ by him was a straight up safety issue.
The most likely answer is NASCAR threw the no call for the same TV time reason we often see with these races that go long. I don’t get the Chase tinfoil hat agenda when they literally threw a dumb caution that screwed him right before this
I don't care what there reason was, it was inconsistent bullshit as always. Car stopped on the apron is okay and totally safe because oh boy its getting late and we are sleepy?
Not every half spin is a caution. This sub bitches when they do throw yellows for almost nothing. Brad was on the access road when Chase caught him. Guess just depends who hates the leader tbh.
I mean, we don’t get a post race on FOX either and the pre race is laughable more often than not. Do I need to remind you about the Chastain watermelon seed skit?
Another caution wouldn’t have done anything. Kurt Busch had nothing for Chase. The Toyota’s should’ve all stayed out and gained up on him for the restart.
I can not believe that JGR dominated that race just to decide at the end, let’s all pit so we can not have a single top 5. Not just about the win but huge points implications. KB came in around 20 points back of Chase. Finishing 2nd is whatever. That pit stop just doubled their deficit now. I don’t get it.
I can't believe no one at gibbs thought other cars would stay out. If kb stays out you have the best restarter in history on the front row, then you got the rest with fresh tires. I'm afraid the win and your in gets lost on teams who are already in. It's like they forget there are 20 other teams needing wins.
Nascar has made some questionable safety calls this year. There are wrecks where you can see how it plays out and then there are wrecks where being safe is better than being sorry. Nascar is lucky they ain't sorry tonight.
That wasn't even the first caution in this race that was manipulated to benefit the 9 car, they waited until he and the Gibbs cars were back on the lead lap to throw the yellow for the 17's tire bouncing down the track
Totally incorrect and if you go back and watch Denny driving down pit road you'll see on the ticker it flips the 18 and 9 back to the lead lap well before Buescher is ever shown.
Post Race Thread is up!
why can i never find the stream links under comments. what am doing wrong? plz help ty
Anyone know what jets flew over during the pre-race?
If they rig anything for Chase, I hope they change this to a night race next year…it was way too hot, especially since you can’t bring in coolers. It was my 13 year old daughter’s first race and she really enjoyed it.
Exactly what I said! The heat was miserable all day until the storm rolled in
That Kes wreck was a suspicious no call, but in no way did that no call result in anything close to the race being rigged for Chase Elliott.
Especially when 2 of those 4 JGR cars finished in the 20s.
...right? He had the fastest car for the last 40 or 50 laps.
I don't think they rigged it for Chase, I think they wanted to be done. It's after midnight on the east coast and people got the ol' 9-5 tomorrow.
Then why didn’t they just move the race to tomorrow? Prime time nascar has almost always been a hit
please tell me there’s somewhere i can find ross’s full rain delay interview.
I'm so excited for a real post race! Oh wait it's on peacock just like the prerace meaning good fucking luck getting people to watch it
It’s literally 4.99 a month. I’ll gladly pay that to get to see some action in victory lane and some drivers interviews.
Anyone got a post-race stream?
Law and Order SUV: where all the detectives are forced to drive the pimped out Escalade I made in Need For Speed Underground as a middle schooler
Post race on peacock - ok
Yeah that's about right.
So I watch the race on YT TV and they had it listed as an episode of Law and Order called "Privilege" and if that doesn't sum up the lack of caution call idk what does
I can't believe kurt got 2nd lol
That no call on the caution was super sus.
Eh, they wanted to finish the race and the outcome probably doesn't change much.
You're telling me she didn't know she was poking a dead body?

Excited for an actual post race show
Is there an actual post race show on Peacock. I have no idea how to find anything on here.
You have to scroll over to sports category
It's the race broadcast on peacock
Bubba drove his ass off. I thought Kansas was gonna be his best race. I think he passed the field 3 times today
His crew is complete dogshit. Pit - wheel isn't tight enough, come back in. Still under caution, comes back around for pit#2...they screw around and goes a lap down.
Dude fuck peacock. Put the shit on normal tv
People here trying to find controversy when there isn't any.
My friend, Ricky Stenhouse was out of the groove in texas and that got called a caution. Sure it may have been the worst caution I've ever seen, but when a car is going well below minimum speed bellowing smoke from both wheel wells that is always a yellow flag
Instead of that long exist segment they could have interviewed another driver or two...
Look, I love the “NASCAR is rigged for Chase” conspiracy theories as much as the next tin foil hat wearing man, but honestly, we didn’t need it. Kez was down on the apron and of no risk to the rest of the field.
sure brad wasn’t a risk to the field, but the field was a risk to brad.
They also didn’t throw the yellow for Blaney until his horizontal car was sliding down the banking. If Blaney had corrected it after he hit the wall, I think they would’ve stayed green.
Dude they threw the caution for the 77 earlier and he never hit the wall
Not only did Kyle Busch pit and lose track position, but he only took 2 tires so he was not only behind a shit ton of cars, but he was also at a disadvantage to every other driver that pit. And it’s not like he would’ve lost any track position to the other pitters at all by taking 4
Dude has the best pit crew in the sport, he was the first guy down pit road, and he wants two? Just an insanely foolish decision all around.
To all the people saying they would have thrown it if it wasn't chase, I present to you the 2020 Daytona 500
This isn't about facts and logic, it's just the typical anti-Chase circlejerk
Wait holdup I thought they already switched to peacock
If I had a nickel for everytime Chase won at a concrete track that was delayed I'd have 10 cents. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird it happened twice.
I get it’s late… but can we get a Kurt Busch interview? God damn.
No kidding. And I'm not coughing up the $5/month so I can watch pre/post-race coverage.
Did they add the lights under the cars in that NASCAR end of broadcast promo? I don’t remember seeing them at all during Fox’s run.
Ppl get mad when nascar calls yellows at the end to stack the field. They dont call it today: rigged
It’s about consistency.
Folks just want consistency
Another day, another reason to hate Elliott
Rent free 🧂
[удалено]
Agreed
After all the bullshit Bubba ended up 12th. Not too bad considering
Good try, Kurt. Truly appreciate the effort
man fuck peacock
When NASCAR throws the caution for something like that at the end y’all bitch, now they don’t throw it and y’all are still bitching? I don’t get it.
Its the truth, if that wasn't chase people would complain about them throwing the caution, it's a lose lose
Most people just want consistency from one race to another.
It never ends
Well can’t stay mad forever, decent race.
Residents of Dawsonville after being woken up by a random siren at midnight
I feel like it’s more: they look to the sky “atta boy redneck Jesus” crack open a cold one take a few sips then fall back asleep to the sounds of Jeff Foxworthy
After a night like that, P12 is solid for bubba. Could’ve been a lot worse
Cannot believe how many teams pitted there and threw away good finishes despite seeing all night now huge track position was with minimal tire wear to boot. Just for example, the 23 stayed out and went from 23rd to finishing 12th after restarting 10th. Meanwhile the 18/11/19 went from 2/3/4 to finishing 6th/21st/23rd.
For real, the moment Chase stayed out and the JGR cars pit, the race was over unless Chase royally screwed up.
With wins in the bank the 11 and the 18 made sense, only chance they had to win. 19 should've stayed out.
Congrats to Chase. He was the best driver out there today and deserves the win
Best driver is a stretch. There wasn’t really a best driver I don’t think. The Gibbs guys and Chase kinda just traded around.
Brad purposely stayed slow trying to draw the caution
I'm conflicted. Brad drove right by pit road when he very clearly should have gotten off track, but regardless that was a clear safety issue to have him puttering around disabled like that and exact reason you have a yellow flag.
yeah the intentionally being an obstacle on track is getting egregious. I'm of the opinion that a caution should be called, but a veteran like Keselowski should know better than that.
Nascar needs to black flag and penalize that garbage. Kyle Bush pulls that trash too
Brad was trying to get down. Not enough time to pull all the way down without looking stupid
In the criminal justice system, gas guzzling based offenses are considered especially heinous. In New York City, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Sports Utility Vehicle. These are their stories
Very fucking nice.
Y’all were super happy when they threw that caution super quickly for a car that blew up, made it back to pit road,
Blown engines frequently put down oil on the track. I have no issue with that caution. A car parked on the backstretch with the entire pack of cars going 150+ by him was a straight up safety issue.
Isn’t it always a caution to make sure there’s no oil?
Because a car expiring an engine and potentially dropping fluids on the track isnt a bullshit reason to call a caution?
Law and order: suv
Anyone know if race had commercials with peacock premiums?
It did
I switched to Hulu because while they only showed some commercials, they showed a blank screen during the side-by-side with no racing visible.
Yes
Chase looks old man
DBC will have plenty to talk about tomorrow right?
Wishful thinking that they record tomorrow!
There was no way kurt could keep up. I don’t understand the call. Why would denny take anything with less than ten to go in 2nd?!
The most likely answer is NASCAR threw the no call for the same TV time reason we often see with these races that go long. I don’t get the Chase tinfoil hat agenda when they literally threw a dumb caution that screwed him right before this
Yeah it's almost like people forget they've been trying for 7hrs to finish this race.
I don't care what there reason was, it was inconsistent bullshit as always. Car stopped on the apron is okay and totally safe because oh boy its getting late and we are sleepy?
Not every half spin is a caution. This sub bitches when they do throw yellows for almost nothing. Brad was on the access road when Chase caught him. Guess just depends who hates the leader tbh.
it is kinda hilarious that he’s the most popular driver.
Chase hates winning on Fox
When we have a near unanimous decision that not throwing a caution was the wrong call on
They really can’t just show more post race?
It’s on Peacock
NASCAR awesome consistency with the yellows!
JGR really fucked that up
Oh yeah lol
Perfect way to end the night: lots of bitching and a Rick Allen flub.
No pre race.
They are doing post race on Peacock
I mean, we don’t get a post race on FOX either and the pre race is laughable more often than not. Do I need to remind you about the Chastain watermelon seed skit?
Should’ve been a yellow, but nothing we can do. Oh well.
Another caution wouldn’t have done anything. Kurt Busch had nothing for Chase. The Toyota’s should’ve all stayed out and gained up on him for the restart.
Chase winning and the lack of caution are seperate issues.
It doesn’t matter. You still throw it. Consistency my man. It’s all about consistency.
The image of Brad in the grass is still sending me lmao
How is that not a caution? Oh wait…
im salty af
I don’t blame Rick for that slip. Most people know about SUVs over SVUs.
Post race on peacock…. Really NBC??
Who was the moving chicane that blocked KB at the top and sent him back to 20th?
Logano
Logano possibly
We did it fuckers! We made it through the 7hrs of Nashville!
I can not believe that JGR dominated that race just to decide at the end, let’s all pit so we can not have a single top 5. Not just about the win but huge points implications. KB came in around 20 points back of Chase. Finishing 2nd is whatever. That pit stop just doubled their deficit now. I don’t get it.
I can't believe no one at gibbs thought other cars would stay out. If kb stays out you have the best restarter in history on the front row, then you got the rest with fresh tires. I'm afraid the win and your in gets lost on teams who are already in. It's like they forget there are 20 other teams needing wins.
Kyle Busch lost his shot at the regular season championship tonight. All due to one of the dumbest pit calls I've ever seen.
Points don’t matter. I’m glad Kyle pitted. He wasn’t winning. He took a chance. It was awful but atleast he tried.
Lol Law and Order SUV
What happened to kyle? He was in 2nd then i dozed off
Law and Order: Sport Utility Vehicles
disappointed. no words, hopefully we don’t race here next year
Nah. They're gonna have to come back & promote the heck out of Tootsie's again.
“Law and Order SUV”😂😂😂 -Rick Allen never disappoints
Law and order suv?
No pre race, and now no post race. Great job NBC
It’s on peacock (post race)
The 11, 18 and 19 were completely insane to pit
Law and Order SUV: Special Unit Victims.
Nascar is gonna mess around with these yellows one day and seriously injure someone
That's my concern.
I'm pretty sure that loose tire made it an entire corner Before they threw the yellow
I’d watch an episode of L&O: SUV
Miss Sam Bass now... Is it a really a Nashville trophy if its not a painted guitar by Sam Bass?
Great win by Chase. Too bad it’ll be clouded in controversy. Regardless, I feel he had the best car in the last stage.
What controversy? Rain? Lightning? Dumb pit calls? Or was it just the best car at the end of the race actually won?
I'm pissed at how NASCAR handled everything, but that doesn't mean chase didn't earn the win
Controversy? What controversy?
Law and Order SUV is my favorite crossover.
Law and Order: SUV?
CHASE
I’m shocked that wasn’t a caution to be honest also props to Wallace staying out and gaining 11 places
“Law and Order SVU already in progress” isn’t something I ever expected to hear during a cup Race
Law and Order: SUV
Jesus Christ. The yellow comes out, Chase Elliott wins.
Law & order SUV
3rd …. I’ll take it…
They got Law and Order SUVs now?
How many layers of tearoffs are there on the windshield there?
“well at least JGR will finish pretty good”
No clue how that’s not a caution lmao. Most will say it’s bc it’s chase.
Hard to argue that especially after the Roval last fall
Is there really any other excuse?
RICK SAID LAW AND ORDER SUV LMAOOOOOOOOOO
Law and order suv
ross managed a top 5 i’ll fucking take it
BUT HE DOESNT HAVE ANY FRIENDS!!!
Gibbs two weeks in a row getting burned by pit strategy.
The Chase Elliott special. Win because the entire series is rigged in your favor
lol ok
Don’t take this the wrong way but you have the iq of a spoon
Cope
Nascar has made some questionable safety calls this year. There are wrecks where you can see how it plays out and then there are wrecks where being safe is better than being sorry. Nascar is lucky they ain't sorry tonight.
If anyone thinks that’s legitimate win you’re delusional. Should have been a caution.
How is it not a legitimate win?
you're just sad that Kyle's washed lol. not Elliott's fault he decided to pit.
That wasn't even the first caution in this race that was manipulated to benefit the 9 car, they waited until he and the Gibbs cars were back on the lead lap to throw the yellow for the 17's tire bouncing down the track
Totally incorrect and if you go back and watch Denny driving down pit road you'll see on the ticker it flips the 18 and 9 back to the lead lap well before Buescher is ever shown.
Yeah they held the caution for the 9 car twice in this last 40 minutes or so.
Law and Order SUV
I feel like that was a “let’s just finish this race” no caution instead of “look who is leading” caution. Still bad either way
Exactly. People just love to hate Chase
LAW AND ORDER SUV
That's also better than driver interviews. Remember that.
One day, and I'm gonna hate when it happens, but them not throwing a caution like they just did is gonna lead to someone getting seriously hurt.
what if brad was hurt?
Kinda want Johnson to come back and race in the new car... Felt like his last year was robbed with how bad Hendrick was his last couple years
big chase fan but what in the fuck
So 12th is cool I guess
Well, you can always count on nascar to continue to be inconsistent with their calls. Especially when Sweet Baby Chase is out front.
Awful call by the 18
Law & Order SUV
Honk honk
