The only reason I'll remember this race is that Clint Bowyer, for the last 45 laps of the race have NO power steering. And STILL got a Top 10 finish!! That's why you saw him come out of the car pouring with sweat and fatigue. What a race this was for Clint

A lot of people are not financially stable this period and it's not easy, I always advise people, don't just waste your stimulus checks or salary, invest it in something that will yield more, even if it is a part of it. We can't keep relying on a paycheck that is already half-spent before we even receive it, there are investment opportunities that have helped a lot of people especially in the financial market. Having different streams of income is essential in this pandemic, especially now most of us have to earn and work from home. I've made impressive progress so far this year and it has helped me sort out a lot of bills and I do that through a registered investment company.

Fun Fact: This is the first time since 2017 that 2 Hendrick cars or just more than one chevy has made the Round of 8, which was Elliott and Johnson in '17. And another Fun Fact: Alex Bowman was the first driver in the 88 car to make the Round of 8, Dale Jr didn't make in '14 nor '15, he was eliminated in the Round of 12 in both those years and failed to make the playoffs in '16 and '17, the furthest Bowman has made the playoffs was the Round of 12 in '18 and '19 until today, Congrats to my future favorite driver to watch in the cup series in 2021.
It said after the race that Clint Bowyer drove without power steering towards the end of the race so him taking a car that was supposed to be in the garage to a Top 10 is a testament to how great of a driver he really is.
I told my dad "Looks like Martin Truex is going for another top 4 finish." As soon as I finished that sentence he spun on the chicane and fell back to 7th. "I guess I shouldn't have said anything."
The most NOT fan friendly driver in NASCAR. On a brighter note when he exited the 18 a group of chocolate M&Ms were seen bending over for their tradition butt kick from the former champ.
Eric, although I'm not as plugged in making sure I catch every race because of you I've enjoyed staying informed with all the current news. You do a fabulous job and have been trying to catch every video you make.
This race will be talked about because the defending cup series championship got eliminated even tho it was Elliotts 4th straight win on a road course and it was NASCARs first race since like the 1950s on a wet track and they used rain tires
@BRADY KIM I don't watch F1 because i don't like road courses. I watch Nascar because i like to see racing on Ovals. So I'll be switching off when Nascar are racing on road courses. Plenty more will be too. They must be adding more road courses to suit Chase Elliott.
Goose at the start, everyone was on rain tires. He drove up through the field. Then, pit for slicks...,which were really challenging to be on at first until the track dried a bit. Then he drove up through the field again because his team made the best call. Ty showed that he is capable of being an absolute wheelman
Only 10 drivers in NASCAR history have won four or more road course races. Elliott has now won four in a ROW. And five overall, which moves him into a tie for fifth all time. Via Jeff Gluck
This feels like the most stacked round of eight in a while, 8 drivers that could definetly win phoenix are in contention and I could see a universe where three winners knock either Hamlin, Harvick or both drivers out. This is just stacked top to bottom and I only wish playoff points weren't a think now because they make it slightly less interesting with two spots so ahead of everyone
Eric I love your videos!! I really wish you would mention Christopher Bell though 😩 He worked so hard today and was racing up in top 2 and then ended up finishing in 24 but he is so good and had such a good save when he was spinning!!
Ever changing Final 4 Prediction in no particular order: Kevin Harvick, Denny Hamlin, Brad Keslowski, Joey Logano. Hasnt changed from what I had since the Daytona 500, but it is what it is.
Did NBC cover a race yesterday? I thought it was an infomercial, discussing everything but a race. You mean you wanted pit stops, off pit road order, pit stop times, tire changes, fuel status, Who stayed out????? They preempt the local news for the NFL, not Nascar. I guess NBC doesn't feel that way. They are making money. Fan experience is not considered. Nascar hasn't challenged the coverage. It's time to yank NBC's and Nascar's chain.
Seeing Kyle Busch eliminated so early brings me so much satisfaction you have no idea. Never liked him and 2020 has been the alternative Nascar universe of the 18's demise I always wanted to see. Kurt Busch still being in the playoffs is just the extra cherry on the top as well and he got a win to get there which Kyle has failed to do.
Overall, this year’s Cup Series Charlotte Roval race is pretty good, but the Xfinity Charlotte Roval race is way better in my opinion. I like the idea of racing in the rain even though there wasn’t that much rain on Sunday whereas Saturday had a lot of rain. Chase Elliott once again dominates the Road Course races such as Watkins Glen, the Daytona Road Course, and the Charlotte Roval! He’s the true Road Course champion of the year! But anyways, I can’t wait for Kansas next Sunday! We’re almost nearing the end of the NASCAR Cup Series season for this year.
I just love my Chase. He is just a wonderful person. He makes me smile. Loves the way he shifts gears. Reminds me of myself along time ago. Keep going Chase! Angels with you!
Id honestly give the race a 85.41%. To me, I honestly though there would be a surprise winner or a spin on the final lap like lastnights Xfinity race with Noah.
He could break it. I’m more pointing out how NASCAR and NBC are calling it a record when it isn’t. Dale Jr was even talking about how he was tied with Jeff while showing a graphic showing Jeff having 6.
NBC , NASCAR, weather channel all said there would be heavy rain and it would be a crazy action but it never happened so fans were disappointed...I think if It had rain like the Xfinity race everyone would be happy.
3rd/2nd/8th/3rd/22nd/4th Those are Erik Jones last 6 finishes and he is so close to a win. Erik Jones is a year younger then Bell and deserves to be in a good ride in the cup series. So much potential there! What people don’t talk about is, Erik is one of the best super speedway and road course drivers. He has shown to be very good at Bristol and a lot of mile and a half tracks. If he can bring that all together consistently he will be a future great I truly believe that.
The addition of more road courses to compliment the latest gen cars' capabilities has me excited about NASCAR's future. I'd rather attend the ROVAL race next year if my other option was Bristol-dirt.
I don't know that any track can take the place of Watkins Glen but I do love The Roval. Especially considering my guy has become a road course master. 😂
Honestly, at this point, I'd say anyone but Harvick would be a dark horse pick this year. That being said, given that Harvick doesn't have some problem that messes him up at Phoenix, I think the most likely driver to pull off the upset should they make it to the championship 4 would be Logano, followed by Elliott.
@@ashenwolf98 Harvick is certainly the favorite with him having the best year since 98 Gordon but I wouldn't really call Hamlin a dark horse. He does have 7 wins this year. Logano has pulled the upset off before beating out the entire big 3 in 2018 which was awesome because I was sick of the media saying big 3 nonstop. I'd give Bowman a shot at the upset too if he can somehow find his way into the F4.
The weather also said it was supposed to start raining at 9 AM here in WV and rain all day and it didn't even start sprinkling until at least 4 PM. Never did really "rain".
@@joshraheim_18 nope. I hate nasty car. Im waiting for it to go bankrupt. But Elliott is not a challenge to be in the 4. But you go ahead and waste your time. He is not going to be able to beat the best of the best. And he is not one of them
Overall I think it was a good race. I also have to say having never been a fan of Kyle Busch I thought his post-race interview was one of the best of his career considering the race that he had. Maybe it just shows that he was already resigned to being out in this round so he had already prepared himself emotionally. I will be in Texas in two weeks which will be my first time at that track so I hope the racing is good there but I am not holding my breath.
I thought this race was awesome and I didn’t really have high expectations for the rain tires I just love the race track and love that tires are super important
Some more really needs to be said about Erik Jones in the playoffs. He has really made a strong case as to why he deserves to stay in a top competitive ride
Nick Ellis I did the math and if Cole Custer and Austin Dillon didn’t win Jones would have made the playoffs. Jones would have made it to the round of 12, and miss the round of 8 by 8 points. So if two underdogs didn’t win, then Jones would have had a better playoffs than Kyle Busch.
Both races were good. I really enjoyed the Xfinity race more though, the rain made it very entertaining. I feel bad for fans without cable or satellite because once again NBC switched channels near the end. Luckily i didn't DVR, i watched live and switched to see the whole race. Does NBC stand for Not Bringing Conclusion or Not Broadcasting Conclusion???
nah he's been good on Rovals, not as good on proper road courses, like sonoma, so I think he will struggle next year at actual tracks like COTA, road america
I think on racedays starting on rain tires they need to keep the race going get rid of the stages on rain days let them race,also I think one of the reasons Kyle Busch stayed out was that possible next rain ban that was on the way,the announcers never gave an update with 10 to go ...
The only reason I'll remember this race is that Clint Bowyer, for the last 45 laps of the race have NO power steering. And STILL got a Top 10 finish!! That's why you saw him come out of the car pouring with sweat and fatigue.
What a race this was for Clint

Nick Ellis I did the math and if Cole Custer and Austin Dillon didn’t win Jones would have made the playoffs. Jones would have made it to the round of 12, and miss the round of 8 by 8 points. So if two underdogs didn’t win, then Jones would have had a better playoffs than Kyle Busch.
Both races were good. I really enjoyed the Xfinity race more though, the rain made it very entertaining. I feel bad for fans without cable or satellite because once again NBC switched channels near the end. Luckily i didn't DVR, i watched live and switched to see the whole race. Does NBC stand for Not Bringing Conclusion or Not Broadcasting Conclusion???
Chase Elliott is to Road courses what the Earnhardt’s were to plate tracks. Seriously, what a road course king he’s become.
nah he's been good on Rovals, not as good on proper road courses, like sonoma, so I think he will struggle next year at actual tracks like COTA, road america
@@saintsfan270 he has two wins at Watkins Glen, was running top 3 at Sonoma before an engine issue. He’s good on “real” road courses as well.
Definitely be up there. Probably a 99in my opinion just because we got to see Ty Dillon runing up there early on in the race.
And if Bowyer had power steering the last 30+ laps.
Chase Elliot chasing history during the chase.
hey Eric I think I heard somewhere that Chevrolet at least the big Chevrolet teams finally got together and are under one single engine builder now
7:56 "Made contact" as in dumped the 3 into the chicane.
Good review
Eric you should create a Out of The Groove Playlist.
This race was so much better than yesterday's cup "race".
My first ever nascar race was the Monsoon 400
I think on racedays starting on rain tires they need to keep the race going get rid of the stages on rain days let them race,also I think one of the reasons Kyle Busch stayed out was that possible next rain ban that was on the way,the announcers never gave an update with 10 to go ...
