Sorry 4th that I haven't been chatting with you or watching the race. I was over my brother's house hanging out with him and his family watching football.

The red flag is out as the race is going to overtime.

Christopher Bell's in 2nd right now. He needs to win this race to advance to the next round, or be eliminated from the playoffs.

 

[Doom]

Holy shit! Christopher Bell wins the race to advance to the next round! Well done #20!

Chase got fucked today

 

[Doom]

I'm pretty shocked that Larson's out of the playoffs after finishing 35th.

It's no worry at all Doom. I was mostly multi-tasking anyways, although it was a pretty fun race. Good on Christopher Bell for winning it.

Bummer. With Kurt being out due to concussion, I think it's the right move to step away, so he can get healthy and possibly return in 2024. I wish for him the best in recovery.

[Stellar]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I was looking forward to Kyle Busch and Tyler Reddick being teammates for a year. That would have been interesting.

 

[Stellar]

Edit: Opps. Doom beat me to it. Here is the video of the announcement anyway. lol His voice cracked at one point.

Came across this...




Not surprised for a few reasons but it still sucks for the guy. I am not going to pretend to always have been a huge Kurt Busch fan (I disliked him in the past) but it sucks for an injury to force someone to step away from what they enjoy. Hopefully Kurt is able to race in NASCAR again eventually.

 

[Stellar]

Not thrilled at all after the finish of that Xfinity Series race. If Allmendinger misses the final 4 because of 2 loose wheels I wont be a happy camper.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

I doubt he misses. He’ll be doing good the next two weeks.

 

[Stellar]

Gragson up there close to the wall was entertaining though.
