2nd place atm certainly ain't used to that

Bubba Wallace doesn't think Larson should get a waiver for the playoffs after missing the 600. Fun little side storyline to follow.

He'd feel different if it was him too bad he's never gonna be in that position

Talking to a guy on BR, he pointed out that if Bubba would be +40 right now if Larson doesn't get a waiver. +21 and near the cutline if he does. Makes sense as to why he has a problem with a waiver.

To need one? As he’s won races and has been running a lot better this season, if you mean needing one because of running the Indy 500, that can be said for 98% of the field.

Elliot saying his toe link is knocked way out of line. Impressive that he's running sixth, but that's gonna be hard to battle all day.

I can't wait until NBC takes over for the season. Outside of enjoying Harvick, this Fox broadcast is just awful. Bowyer says there's a car in the wall and the camera can't find it until it's dead stopped.

I can't consider 2 wins in 4yrs top tier just way overhyped and a mediocre driver at best.

Was pretty unanimous he was a douchebag before 2020 but since then too many fans are scared of a label if they dare say anything against him.

we'll just have to agree to disagree, and leave it at that. I also didn't even say he was top tier, just that he's running better this season than he had been, and very well could make the playoffs this season. I also don't even see him as a douchebag, he's done some stupid shit, but most drivers have.

Busch getting pissy bit him in the ass there.

I'm not sure what happened to McDowell today. It's like once he got into some dirty air he just had absolutely nothing in that car.

WOOOOOOW

So get this... I had Cindric in my fantasy lineup and switched him out for Brad K. THEN I thought like "that probably was a mistake" and I was too late to put Cindric back in the lineup. So of course Cindric wins. Congrats to him by the way.

Meanwhile with the garage swap... I swapped Kyle Busch in because he is good at that track and before I knew it the wreck with Larson happened and stage 2 was over. So I was stuck with him instead of McDowell.

In the past i have debated whether to continue with the fantasy thing. Mostly have kept going because I somehow got the lead even though during one race I had Byron in the garage while he won the race and I still managed to have the most points that week. I hate the garage part of it because that requires me to watch the race live and be available at a certain point of the race in case I need to swap out drivers.

As for the race ending... I was confused because I was getting ready to leave and Blaney was clearly in the lead....went back to the TV to watch and Cindric had won. I was like "what happened?". Literally was a last minute thing. I feel bad for Blaney.

The garage thing has been a thorn in my side this year lol. I get it.

I had Austin in my garage, taking out Bowman would’ve been a wonderful choice lmao
