The Official 2024 NASCAR Regular Season Discussion Thread

Apparently Noah Gragson is rumored to go to the #42 Petty GMS cup ride next year. Not really thrilled if that happens. A guy that is fun to watch in the Xfinity series going to a middle of the pack car in the cup series. I know that Erik Jones is performing better than last year in the 43 but still, who knows if the 42 can even be on that level.

Tbh I think with how more even the car is now, a great driver in the car can do it wonders. A lot of them mid pack teams from before this season have sone really great this season. Jones like you already said. Michael McDowell another one who has really improved with the car. So I feel Noah could easily jump in there and really make the 42 car go to the front

Yeah, maybe. It's hard for me to phase out how poorly that 42 car was for years in the past and so I am sour on Petty's teams. Granted, Petty GMS could be more GMS than Petty in performance and so it's not fair for me to compare it to past years (plus the new cars) but I just want to see Noah be in a fast ride. That 42 car is a bit of an unknown because Ty Dillon isn't exactly great on the track. lol Getting Noah is a smart move for them for sure and they probably see the success that Trackhouse has had with two solid drivers and that motivates them to push even more.

Speaking of Noah Gragson.... qualified 1st for the Xfinity Series race today. lol

Yeah no offense to Ty Gibbs but how things ended up sucked.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Fucking rain

Kevin Harvick wins at the Michigan International Speedway!!!

That snaps his 65-race winless streak.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Was hoping for Bubba, but happy for Harvick

Bubba had a helluva race. He made no mistakes and ends up finishing runner-up.

He did great no doubt.

For Harvick, that was a must-win situation to avoid being under that red line.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Bubba going to get him one here in a few weeks, I really believe. 4 straight top 10s, 2 straight top 5s. Slowly coming together

Cool win for Harvick. I was conflicted on that last restart between Harvick and Bubba Wallace. lol Now MTJ is outside of the top 16 for playoffs. Harvick better buy Logano some Busch beer for holding off Bubba Wallace for so long. Really sucks what happened between Chastain and Bell. For once it wasn't Chastains doing.

Listening to Bubba Wallace post race... man, he totally put it all on himself. Really want to see him win before the playoffs start.
