That’ll be interesting, hopefully she will be better than Danica Patrick was. Looking forward to seeing her.

They really rushed Danica so quickly. It’s honestly sad. If she stayed in Nationwide a few more seasons, I believe she would’ve been better off. So I’m hoping they don’t rush Hailie to Cup as well. Let these drivers learn and grow and figure these things out.

Oh absolutely, they 100% just wanted to capitalize on Patrick’s name value. From what I’ve seen of Deegan, she seems very talented and if allowed to grow naturally she could be a huge star.

I also believe if she stayed in Indy Car, she would’ve got more than her 1 win in Japan. But it is what it is.

but yeah, Hailie is pretty decent. Has had a hard time in Trucks, but maybe she’ll do better with the Cars, she did win a few in the I think West Series but she didn’t win in Arca but was upfront a few times. So stock cars seem to maybe be her thing. I look forward to seeing how she does at Vegas.

Yeah, I always felt like Danica got an unfair shake. Due to her being popular she was rushed up to the cup series and she got a lot of negativity her way when in reality it's hard for any racer from a different sport to find success in NASCAR. Danica really needed to stay in the Nationwide series longer. With Hailie I am hopeful that she stays in the trucks for at least another year just to get more experience. Hailie got her best finish in the Trucks at Talladega with 6th place.

Awesome news about Allmendinger. Now I just need to hear that Parker Kligerman has a full time ride for next year and ill be gravy. Give him a ride you cowards! Come on Kaulig! You gave Cassill and Jeb Burton a shot...why not Kligerman?

Allmendinger wins again at the ROVAL!! That battle against Gibbs at the last few restarts was interesting. The ROVAL is Dingers House! Gragson quietly finishing third.

Maybe Allmendinger will sweep the weekend. Starting 7th tomorrow. Logano looks to have a fast car.

Nick Sanchez wins the 2022 ARCA Menards Series title! Congratulations!

Got this on in the background at the moment. I didn't know it was a road course this weekend, these are fun.

 

[Marty McFourth]

AJ Allmendinger having an awesome race so far by looks of it. He's way ahead of Reddick.

 

[Marty McFourth]

Fun Stage 2. Ross Chastain takes it!

 

[Marty McFourth]

Man all the contact. These road courses can be crazy.
