The Official 2024 NASCAR Playoffs Discussion Thread

Just a couple little things I've read/heard in the last bit. Gragson to JGR (if Truex retires) seems a bit unlikely, as Noah and Ty Gibbs don't get along, not even a little bit. Some people in Gragson's camp believe that Joe Gibbs (because of Ty) pushed Toyota to get rid of Gragson. Josh Berry is probably going to need to find a team that has sponsorship in place, as it looks more and more like he's not bringing much (if any) sponsorship money to the table. What he does have going for him is Rodney Childers, who reportedly loves working with him.

HA! Was just coming to share that. Makes sense. He's having his best season to date.

Kyle Busch wrecked during tire testing at Indy. What a horrible stretch he's having.

HA! Was just coming to share that. Makes sense. He's having his best season to date.

He’s definitely outperforming the equipment as well.

 

[Tommy Bedlam]

Yep. I also didn't realize how young he is. Fourth youngest full-time driver in the Cup Series.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Wow. Yeah I didn’t realize that either.

still remember that time his dad won in the at the time Busch Series, and I had zero idea what he fucking looked like lmao. Was one of those “there just there.” names. But he ran one hell of a race that night. Felt like I was watching an ARCA race because I legit didn’t know who he was.

being reported that FRM paid between 20 and 25 million for the third charter from SHR. Last year, Spire paid 40 million for one.

Xfinity Series race this evening... which I am glad that it will be this evening instead of at 3pm because ill probably be gone at that time.

Another road course race with SVG and Allmendinger... but also Ty Gibbs and Boris Said and Boris is racing for Hendrick. So hopefully he doesn't wreck again like he did in practice, which he was really hard on himself about.

I just hope that no one drinks every time "wine country" is said this weekend. Adam Alexander especially leans on that way too much. lol

Allmendinger will be in the cup race tomorrow. As will Will Brown for RCR, who is 3rd in practice. Had no clue who he was until just now. He races in Australia and appears to do very well over there.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

I sadly probably won’t get to see it tonight given the time it’s on, cause I like watching with my dad and I’m not sure if it will be over by the time he would have to leave for work. So, that sucks. But oh well.

 

[Tommy Bedlam]

I'm hoping to catch part of tonight's race. These road courses have grown on me so much.

Nothing we didn't know in this article really, but still a good read https://www.jayski.com/2024/06/08/d...in-cup-charter-under-the-right-circumstances/
