congrats to Truex .... now they can get back to real racing

[Cowboy Gun Fan]

Truex is sure on a mission.

Good day for Matt DiBenedetto in 4th. His career best.

Kyle took second and actually acted Magnanimous congratulating Truax. Maturing I guess.

he has matured a bit and I credit his wife for that .... I tend to believe he doesn't want to be called in (again) by Joe Gibbs for a lecture on being a team member

Chicagoland Speedway .... Camping World 400 .... Sunday, 3 p.m. ET ..... NBCSN

[JEBar]

congrats to Bowman and the 88 team for taking his first win at Chicagoland .... good to see the 42 come in 2nd and the 48 have a good day finishing 4th

[cooperhawk]

Long delay bug a good race in the end.

[JEBar]

agree on it turning out to be a good race .... lots of passing in the field with little for the lead .... when crew chiefs tried to keep their cars on the track longer, tire failures played a big part .... Harvick was the class of the field through the first couple of stages .... good to see the 48 run in the top 5 most of the race, much of that time in the top 3 .... Hendrick's teams looked the best I've seen them this season

Looks like it will be a couple of years before DJR/Penske supercar driver Scott McLaughlin makes a appearance in Nascar.
He resigned last week for a undisclosed period but thought to be only one year.
Mclaughlin has always said he isnt interested in winning multiple Aus championships and would love a shot at Nascar. Penske have said he is a prime candidate but would have to work his way up like Ambrose did. He has a American fiancee who would no doubt be keen to return home. Still only 26 so has a bit of time, with a race win points lead in the championship will no doubt make a 100% attack at the Bathurst 1000 this year which is the only thing not achieved in his supercar career.
I really hope he makes the switch in 2021, honestly think he would be at least as good as Ambrose on road courses and better on ovals.

Forgot all about it, may be raining here some today so I'll watch a little.
Heard that the Xfinity race was a wreck fest.

Justin Haley wins the shortened Daytona race.
Only his third start.
Finished second in the Xfinty race Friday night behind his team mate.

[cooperhawk]

Yeah, Kinda backed into that one. Good kid though, he'll do fine.

[Cowboy Gun Fan]

Sure was a goofy week-end. Many are complaining about this and that.

My opinion?

That's Racin'.

GREEN FLAG

[JEBar]

congrats to Kurt Busch for taking his Chevy to the checker ....

[Vaquero]

Those last couple of laps were fun to watch.
Was just glad that the 22 got shuffled back.

RP

[JEBar]

agree .... the last couple of laps were throwbacks to the racing that founded NASCAR .... if they truly want to fill the stands, they need to bring that level of racing back into the sport for more than a few laps a race
