Wanted MTJ to win this but as the race went on he wasn't up at the front like he was before. So that's a bummer. Happy for Blaney though.

 

[Doom]

I've enjoyed watching the race with you guys!

What a points battle between Stellar and Tommy. Stellar had three more points over Tommy 253-250. I had 222 points,

 

[Tommy Bedlam]

Stellar is fucking dialed in this year.

JD Motorsports, a team that's been part of the Xfinity series since 1983 looks to be shutting down or at least scaling back. Mass layoffs and they've filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Sad news for a team that's been around for so long.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Damn. That definitely sucks. Teams been around since before I was born.

I even drove for them on one of the Heat Games before I was offered a better ride haha.

 

[Tommy Bedlam]

HAHA same! When teams that have been around longer than I've been alive, you know they're old lol

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Yea, I just turned 33 last Saturday myself so they had been around already like 8 years before I was born lol.

 

[Tommy Bedlam]

Happy belated birthday, bro! I'm 36 myself.

[Tommy Bedlam]

Oh that's interesting!

Updated standings after the Pocono race. Chastain taking really helped Bubba out a lot. Still won't be shocked to see some winless drivers break through in the next 5 races.
