Having a day off in the middle of the week is weird. I’ve thought it was Saturday all day and checked for when the Xfinity race starts twice.

An old ad from 1984 Dale Earnhardt and Ricky Rudd. Wrangler wanted Earnhardt’s mustache shaved for it… he doesn’t look right, at all lmao.

I bet that back then Dale Sr. could walk around in public, airports and restaurants without the mustache and not be recognized. lol

Hailie Deegan getting replaced by Joey Logano for this weekend.... I really don't know what to think. Hailie has talent. Shes won races in the K&N and did well in SRX but it really hasn't translated well in NASCAR. I really have wanted to see her do well. So this sucks. Like, I still hope that she somehow stays in NASCAR in the future...whether she stays at AM Racing or goes elsewhere.

She's just not good enough to compete in NASCAR. I was rooting for her, but at this point, she's just not that good. She's had access to good equipment because of her popularity, but she just can't do it. I'm sure some truck team will take her back next season because she'll win the Most Popular Driver like she did every year she was there.

AM Racing said they replaced her this weekend to get a better idea of why the team is struggling. I think it's pretty evident what they think the problem is.

SVG has the lead over Larson.

Larson and SVG are going to wreck each other by the end of this. Race just started and they are racing like it's 5 laps to go. lol

There's contact!

Shane van Gisbergen wins the Xfinity race at Chicago~!!!

 

[Hidden Blaze]

He’s just to damn good!

It really feels like SVG is on another level at Chicago and the rest were doing all that they could to hold him back. lol
