Re: 2025 NASCAR
I sure did miss it, but what a wild finish. Bubba leading on a GWC, his owner Denny Hamlin runs up along side of him, puts him in the wall and mean while Chase Elliott flies by and wins the race. Bubba finishes 5th and gives a nice hand gesture (not really) to not only his boss, but his car owner.

Re: 2025 NASCAR
Another road course and a 5th consecutive win for SVG on the road courses.
Chastain tried for another miracle to advance with a dive bomb move in the last chicane from a 1/4 mile back. Didnt come off and he spun himself and Hamlin, both drivers selecting reverse and driving from the chicane to the finish line backwards.
Suerez obviously isnt happy about being dropped, while SVG let Ross past at the end of the first stage so he could score an additional stage point Suerez refused to overtake Lagano for 3 laps despite being on fresh tires and 4 seconds a lap faster. The 1 point he would have taken off Lagano would have meant there would have been no need for the last chicane dive bomb. Still Chastain really has no one but himself to blame, totally missed the pit lane exit early in the race costing him 17 positions on track and then latter selected the wrong gear leaving pit lane leading to a drive through penalty for speeding and another 20 or spots on track.

Re: 2025 NASCAR
last race in the round of 8 this weekend at Martinsville, Hamlin and Briscoe have locked themselves in with wins so will be plenty of desperate drivers.
Something looks to have clicked for SVG on ovals, qualified just outside the top 10 at Las Vegas and ran inside the top 10 most of the race until a wreck took him out. Talladega he qualified back in P31 drove up inside the top 10 in half a dozen laps, ran there until hitting a patch of water entering pit lane, spun and dropped a lap. Got back on the lead lap and drove up inside the top 10 again running near the front until a late race pit speeding penalty saw him have to start from the back with about 30 laps to go. Drove back inside the top 10 again, had a big run coming to the line but nowhere to go, had to lift and got swallowed by the pack and finished P11.
Since being eliminated from the playoffs he has had top 10 pace on every oval they have been to, in a pre race interview at Talladega he said his plan for the race was to run the whole race near the front. Comfortable running in the pack now but thought he is lacking experience running near the front and needs to learn how to race near the front on ovals. Certainly looked like he is rapidly learning that as well, still making a few mistakes but the pace seems to be there.
I would have to say it has been a very successful rookie season, 5 wins and now showing top 10 pace on ovals consistently, sort of gets lost with him being so dominant on road courses but no other rookie in history has ever won more than 3 races in a season. He still hasnt made 50 cup starts and already has 6 wins to his name, drivers like Blaney, Elliott and Larson all took more race starts to get their first win than SVG has had so far. Almost scarry to think where he might be in 12 months time given his progression.
