The changing of channels is more enraging than how the race ended.
Watching the NASCAR race on NBC, don’t count on seeing the end of a race. Many times since NBC has broadcasting NASCAR if they run past the allotted time the put it on to a BS cable channel that everyone watching the FREE OVER THE AIR NBC TV CAN’T SEE. THE NBA & NFL has in the contract to show the entire thing. I’m guessing NASCAR didn’t have the balls to ask for that in the contracts. (pun intended) Will they start the Olympics on NBC and dump them to a cable channel for the finish so they can keep their start times that are printed? Have you watched NBC dump any golf, hockey, or anything but NASCAR? I watched the Indy 500 on NBC, with the rain delay to THE END.
I'm not saying NASCAR insiders don't work hard, but they do realize that regular folks work 5 days a week for 50 weeks per year, if you're lucky and actually get paid vacation. I never feel bad for athletes with demanding schedules.
Fact
This, right here.
Absolutely. No sympathy at all. Don’t like it go get a job in construction.
Especially in the sports of NFL, NBA, MLB
They play half the time of a nascar schedule, and get waaay overpaid to play a ball game. Drivers only wish they had it that good as the premadonna entitled others. At least drivers don’t promote the thug culture that harms society and youth. I quit watching g those a long time ago. I like ppl and sports that support America and appreciate the fans!!
@@JSkunk3223 yeah but they also train a lot and the physical work and risk of damaging yourself beyond repair is big.
Not arguing but they don’t have a walk in the park.
But yeah, it sucks because to be a #1 these days you need to be born into a family that’s wealthy enough to cover your ass and expenses so you can focus and train.
Not 100% but almost always it’s the case.
If your not home and you are taping the race it does piss you off because you have no idea they are changing the station😢.
I was in the clover field, filling feeders, cutting brush. I recorded it and added 3 hours for whatever reason. I got to the red flag. I was pissed
Either show the entire race or don't show any of it. I'm so fed up I'm ready to quit watching. Fox was just as bad or worse.
Wait until five races are on Amazon next season!!
If it was a NFL game they are not changing channels period.
It's about to train me to just give up and watch highlight shows and recaps such as this.
Blaney had the opportunity to choose the inside lane behind Keselowski before Larson did. He wasn't required to take the outside. Why is it NASCAR's responsibility to wave off the start so one guy can change his mind??
Damn, that's a good point.
Damn, that's a very stupid point. No body, including aarontalks culture knew Brad was pitting at the restart.
@@charlesrussell6201 What?? EVERYBODY in the race knew Brad was way past his fuel window. Larson and Daniels discussed laying back a bit on the start because the #6 would pit or sputter on the restart. Since the Choose Rule was enacted there has never been a start waved off so they could change their minds and rechoose.
He didn't line up behind Brad because he knew he was going to run out of gas.
Imagine the clusterfuck if they tried to reset the field with drivers low on fuel runnin about 2,000 caution laps at low speed
How many thousands would be tore up on another overtime restart with 1/3 field running out of gas? Certain tracks they do hold the yellow, I believe it just depends on situation and size of the track.
This doesn’t justify the shortcut NASCAR took. And that’s what it was. A shortcut. Professionalism has left the chat.
@DaveGme yah I mean idk if nascar ever had professionalism tbh. They've been applying rules inconsistently for decades and ever since they implemented the chase its veen moving away from what it should be ever since
The only way it could work out is if they allowed only the two lead cars to change position by control car preference and then it would still take a lap.
NASCAR creates their own problems with making things up on the fly. If a guy is low on fuel make him pit. The same rules need to be applied for each race. But then the current NASCAR template is no where near what your daddy drove in.
Great interview with the crew chief! Thanks for having him on the show!
Mike Davis is bad ass. He's been around the sport for a long time. He asked extremely interesting questions and recall a lot of situations that Dale forgets about. And Mike also knows most of the guests on a personal level. Dale and Mike are a great team. Miss you Mike!!!
Bring back Mike!! I’d rather listen to fingernails on a chalkboard than Andrew! Guy seems like a annoying fanboy.
The show sucks without Mike, I can’t hardly watch it anymore
@@BillyCorvetteI rarely do anymore. I used to watch every upload before Mike quit.
The youngsters are definitely making Mike look better. 🙂
I don’t mind Dalton I think his name is but Andrew comes off completely clueless and lost half the time.
It would be great if you could do a weekly series with Cliff Daniels. I've been impressed every time I've heard him talk on shows or even in post race press conferences. I know they are busy, but would be great to have a weekly podcasts providing the perspective of the crew chief on the previous week and what goes into getting ready for a race.
I would say Ryan Blaney is quite 'animated' during a race. :D
He’s my favorite to listen to on the radio.
That's the most honest explanation I've heard about the restart..thank you Jr ❤
Cliff was amazing, no one is better than JR at interviews.
Larson didn’t go over the line. He was deliberate about not crossing the line based on his understanding of the rules.
I wasn't home, so I recorded it and completely missed the end because the stream didn't know to change to another station.
"Everything in the past was perfect" This but unironically. Shorter schedule was better. No stage racing was better. More horsepower in the engines was better. No playoffs was better. No overtime was better. More mechanical grip was better. Less a of a Hendrick dominance of the sport was better. I could keep going. Nascar was the best from 1975-2003
It's a race, and if you saw the last 10 laps, the fastest car won. I can appreciate Blanely's complaint but the fastest car won.
Loved this episode, hearing more details about your weekend and connections with the huge NASCAR family!
Is Mike Davis ever going to make an appearance on the show as a guest?
Let's fkn hope not
i hope so. i really miss his inputs and the atmosphere with him n jr
The duality of man

I'll pass on Davis. Has nothing to do with my opinion but did anyone else notice friction building between Jr. and Davis towards the end of last year?
Itd be sick if he was a permanent guest, almost like a co-host and then andrew did his own show and they hired some guy from Flo Racing, like a generic name such as Matthew 😂😎
My thought is, if Brad had pitted the lap before, then Ryan would have been able to choose the inside, he only took the outside because Brad chose the inside. So Larson got a bit of an advantage being on the inside.
That’s just luck
Every car in the field has luck every race, it may be good luck or it may be bad luck.
It’s not Larson’s fault that Kesowlowski gambled and lost, and lost on bad luck in timing. It’s also not his fault that nascars rule is the line moves up.
Brad could’ve pitted on the previous lap but he had made his bed, trying to make it, unfortunately something happened on that last caution lap for Brad to go to pits as field was coming to the green.
Situational awareness…. Everybody listens to each others radios. If Blaney was smart he’d have lined up inside second row. It still puts the best car of Larson then maybe outside front row. The best car at the end of the race won. Blaney’s team kinda screwed him maybe not giving him better info. It’s not Brad’s fault he’s trying to win the race.
@@lilmouth31 I won't disagree with that assessment.
@@jamesprice4476 Larson jumped the start. NASCAR admitted he jumped a few days later.
@@charlesrussell6201
Official report I seen showed restarted at about same time and blaney spun a little
Fox nascar daily show and happy harvick show
I always love hearing from Cliff. What an interesting guy.
I agree. Kyle is a racer, he just says " idk, i just went faster than everyone else" Cliff is the brains and larsen just gets it done
Jr and your guys tonight were really the best. Such a great and open discussion like you weren’t hiding anything. Keep up the good work man I love it and what’s with this two weeks off just because it’s NBC’s time they have the racing that’s crazy.
I was watching the race on NBC. there was a wreck, the race wasn't over! What happened to the race? Where did it go, I couldn't find the end of it!
They switched to USA
Watching the NASCAR race on NBC, don’t count on seeing the end of a race. Many times since NBC has broadcasting NASCAR if they run past the allotted time the put it on to a BS cable channel that everyone watching the FREE OVER THE AIR NBC TV CAN’T SEE.

Agree with Dale 110% on the call not to throw the caution. Don't know why no one is talking about where the car that causes the caution is. When the car spinning is in the back of the field and has no impact on the leaders or the race, the caution should not be thrown. If it's a short track, the spinning car likely has a direct impact on the leaders or at least someone in touch with the leaders. In this case it was an irrelevant car and therefore shouldn't interrupt the story of the race at that point.
Enjoyed the Cliff Langley chat- I went to bed too and watched Monday on Flo replay.
Man never heard Chase f bomb that bad.
Brad leaving right before restart was bang bang but if it were delayed it would've been a cluster f
Huge intimidator fan! Smoke fan! Huge Larson fan! Larson was driving with purpose, could tell he wanted redemption, could tell he wanted it to win it.
Great video! However, that was GREAT when the caution waved. We were sooo mad when the channel moved!
I saw larson spin in Texas while seeing Dale Jr.'s
last race because of retirement, and from then on, I knew he'd be great. Happy he's at Hendrick.
So even IF Preece gets rolling they were gonna just let him limp down the narrow backstretch at 30mph with two flat tires while the pack blasts by him at 185mph racing to the finish?
Yes. Always have
Yes, that's nothing new. As long as they are on apron or as close to grass as possible. It's just like cars slowing down on apron to go to pits or exiting pots in apron getting up to speed.
Yes? Thats always been the case.
Why would nascar give it to Hendrick at Penske's track?
Why not?They give to Hendrick at everyones tracks including their own.
@@stevemcentee2880 I'm just joking like above all the conspiracy bs that they would do that considering Blaney (A Penske car) had a shot to win.
That's how they rig it. Penske won't make a sketchy call that might infringe himself. He will wait and go behind the scenes to pull strings later. Remember Ford wasn't dog meat last year, and then they won both Xfinity and cup championships.
Penske also runs Chevys in Indy car so if he's personally friends with Rick Hendrick, which he is, he might as well give it to him.
@@RUclipsAuditor1 Someone didn't watch the 2023 Indy 500.....
Another caution would have only led to the squirrels destroying race cars
Play me is just like any of us that get upset in the car and let some expletives fly. But he makes a conscious effort to press the button to broadcast and he knows where that goes
LOL Jr went from "no way in hell!" To "I guess you've got a point" in like 1 second on the Preece caution deal.
I think Larson would have won either way. He had fresher tires & was cruising the whole race. He earned it. Would have loved a Blaney win, but Larson overcame a lot and it was his day…again. So much talent.
23rd to 1st
@@claychamlee884 Didn’t he have a penalty so he had to pass even more cars aside from not starting in the very front? It seems like he was always coming from the back & one of the only cars to do a lot of passing. Plus he had taken 4 tires & Blaney none. I’m just happy Blaney didn’t run out of fuel.
@@kristenwhite2701no penalty. Loose rear wheel. Had to come back in, and started in the back
@@cliff4695 I wonder how many cars he passed in total.
He didn’t have that much fresher tires. Only reason he was passing bc leaders were saving fuel
Junior woke up on the wrong side of the bed today. 😅
Its sad the Xfinity races are more exciting to watch then these new cars that the cup has.
2 of the closest finishes ever on cup this year btw
@@NASCARDAWGYT The way it is it should, some tracks they cant even pass, its one lane dominant. The cup serious this year is all about fuel mileage and not actual racing, half throttle around a track for most of the race? non sense.
@@ronhill1563 Bristol, Atlanta, Darlington, Kansas, had some of the best racing I’ve seen without any of that. The only reason you think fuel mileage is a problem everywhere is we went to the two tracks that fuel mileage is biggest at.
@@NASCARDAWGYT Don't talk to me about it, go talk to the drivers that say they cant pass when they get a run and come up behind the other car which turns it into a half throttle fuel mileage race, all tracks should be exciting not just some. I was merely saying the Xfinity cars are more exciting, easier to pass on any track.
Didnt know,blany called Larson the Golden boy,and a sob,glad i watched your podcast, go kyle go 😊
He is right. Line moves up good race and the fastest car won. Blaney has never cried this much 😂😂.
Im with Jr. I didnt think anything of the whole finish, from Brad running out all the way to taking the yellow and checkers. It was just a normal ending to a race, and everyone FREAKED OUT.
Was the right call of the race. BK got out of the way to not cause a bunch of torn up cars. RB was late to understand the situation. I’ve seen this ending more than once over my 40yra of watching. They were at the end of the restart zone almost tied. Blanket did not have the car to win anyways. Nobody was catching KL
Andrew had the receipts on the seatbelt situation!!! I couldn't stop laughing!!! Freaking HILARIOUS!!!!
Hi Dale Jr.!! - Lifelong fan
Me too😂
Lots of peculiar ends to this years races. Agree.
Love you love show but tell me where was all the fans? Can’t believe it was that empty
Jr your a badass keep pushing brother love your content
We were racing at Langley on Saturday also, thanks for the Pic after your race and being so gracious with fans.
OMG.. I have so many issues, lol... Kyle's tires were ON the line, NOT over. Denny himself said that Kyle and Ryan took off at the same time, which means Kyle did NOT jump the restart.... besides NASCAR has always been consistently inconsistent.... Denny at Pocono ring a bell anyone?? Denny jumping the start at Nashville?? I also think it is extremely disrespectful to Kyle to imply that NASCAR "gave" him the race.
Also, name another major sports league that there are NOT controversial calls?? I don't like the inconsistencies either, but do you really want NASCAR calling even more penalties? To me, this is what it comes down to...if they threw the caution and Preece started moving, people would be mad at that..."NASCAR manipulated the ending" can go either way. I also think if a person's driver wins, the fan is fine with it! Lol... I've been there and I agree!
💯
Of course Denny (after the race was over) didn't have a problem knowing what line not to cross, he wasn't the one getting a penalty.
he should get a penalty for wrecking kyle busch
Agree he is a jerk
@@Crussell04 Kyle wrecked himself. He went for a move that didn't work, Denny was unaffected and Kyle ended up in the wall.
Always love Jr’s relaxed vibe. My feeling is if they throw the caution and 6-8 more cars run out of gas. Same fans would be mad that they didn’t just let them finish.
The Cindric spin at Nashville is different because there is traffic all around the track. At Indy, they were all in a group just after the restart. That's a bad example as are any similar to it. It is true that sometimes they're trigger happy and other times they seem to want to wait. Now, it's not the same situation every time so we have to have some leeway on how we judge it, but generally speaking, I want NASCAR to give drivers every chance to get out of the way so they don't have to throw a caution and I don't want cautions thrown becuse someone is out of the groove or just brushes the wall. Indy, to me, was a toss up. They gave Preece every chance to move and he couldn't; they waited as long as they could, which I liked, but once they got to turn one, and into the short chute, they had to throw it. That wasn't the case when they were back in turn 4.
Is Chase Nascar’s poster child for rules for the, but not for anyone else? On track retaliation, parked for a week, swing wide..black flag. Thanks for the share DJ.
Maybe its cuz im a fan but i can't tell you how many bs cautions ive seen come out while Harvick was in the last lap or 2 and had the win all but wrapped up. 2-3 sec leads sometimes.
Chevy and Toyota teams definitely get cautions thrown to give them a chance to win if any ford is leading the race. Several bs cautions thrown to restack the field and give them a chance to win the races. It's clear to any fan of a Ford team.
Perhaps NASCAR should consider building cars that can get rolling again when they have a flat tire....🤔
If they had put the yellow flag out to restack the field, how many cars would have run out of fuel, causing more wrecks on the restarts and the race outcome would have been changed for several drivers. While they were sputtering down the track, Larson would still have driven off and won.
Ryan Blaney reminds me of the rich spoiled kid. I remember a 'friend' I had as a kid who was super spoiled and had everything and he would throw the biggest tantrums if something didn't go his way. Like in little league he was Called out and threw a tantrum no one could forget. He couldn't control his self any time he was upset. We'll that is exactly who Blaney reminds me of
Man, Cliff Daniels gives great, insightful interview. On this pod he was great, and he had one on the broadcast that was unusually good for a crew chief mid-race.
Good show this week. Having watched every episode this season, as a fan of DJD, I still miss Mike Davis being on the show. He just added something that's missing. My 2 cents.
I enjoyed T J as co host few weeks ago. Still miss Mike. Show not as good without Mike
What would have happened if Blaney, as soon as Keselowski pulls down, pulls down to put Larson behind him in the bottom lane before the restart zone. I guess there may have been a changing lanes penalty before the end of the restart zone and after the choose, but it would have more pushed the issue.
NASCAR needs to eliminate the rule where cars move up in line if someone drops out. Just stay put. Don’t complicate things. I’m with Blaney on this one. Disappointed in Jr’s reaction but he’s still my guy. Wasn’t expecting much of a response because of his alliance with Hendrick.
As much as I sympathize with Blaney on the outside, it's still better to be on the outside and be the control car, than be on the outside AND NOT be the control car, which was the case if Brad was still on track
I am a Blaney fan and I can see both sides. I can definitely understand why Blaney feels he got screwed by the situation and Larson benefited greatly from the situation, and as a fan of his, I felt pissed off as well seeing the win slip away because of things out of his control. Plus the chaos of the timing right as they’re coming to the green definitely impacted the control car part of it and it seems like Larson either went first or they went around the same moment, and I bet neither guy knew 100% who was control car.
I also agree that I don’t think NASCAR or Keselowski technically did anything wrong and the rules were followed. I don’t think anything else could have been done and it was handled properly in my mind. It was just a super unfortunate timing for Blaney and went against him since the inside line is so much better.
Last thing, Blaney and I (as a fan) can be annoyed at keselowski and NASCAR for the situation, even if they did nothing wrong. Both things are allowed to be true. Blaney got screwed by the situation but that doesn’t mean there’s some conspiracy going on
My only problem is did nascar not call a caution on 2 laps to go, to prevent teams from running out of fuel.
I’m a Larson fan and although I’m glad nascar didn’t call a caution, nascar shouldn’t do that. They knew Preece wasn’t gonna make it before the white flag.
Teams put themselves in that situation and NASCAR shouldn’t be helping no team on the track. If that’s why they didn’t, to prevent several teams from having a bad day, then that’s not fair.
I agree with the DBC guys, a caution is a caution - if the 41's spin would have immediately brought out a caution on lap 30 it should have been called in OT.
What does the olyimpics in Paris have to do with the nascar schedule????
going on a sprintcar road trip for 2 week no time for the olyimpics
The Olympics are on NBC.. NBC has the rights to NASCAR. For the rest of the year. So, the teams get a 2 week break.. Which, in my opinion is needed! It's a grueling schedule
TV and money.
If you paid attention you'd know.... Google exists
Excatly
My first NASCAR race was at the Brickyard in 1996. It is a historic track and it was packed back then, but it is a hard track to watch a race at. Walking through the museum after the race to allow the traffic to clear was fun, and we still had to wait for traffic. Went for a couple years, but enjoyed races better at tracks like Michigan, Kansas and Iowa Speedway.
Bristol night and martinsville my 2 favs … in person.. charlotte also fun
I dont feel bad for Blaney at all. He knew how the race was going, He knew Larson was there and passing everyone on the bottom. 2nd place in that race, no matter what, should have picked the bottom, no question. And then he doesn't learn and proves it by going high again on the start, and what happened?
I guess Blaney thought he had to take the outside. But he could've took the bottom behind Brad but he chose the top.
Damn good thing Kelley is in charge!
The problem is that DEI now doesn't mean Dale Earnhardt Incorporated.
That’s all I think about every time I hear someone say DEI lol
Underrated comment✊🏾
DEI hasn't meant Dale Earnhardt Inc since 2008. It's been more years since than they were in the cup series altogether. Junior is gonna be older than Dad this year. It's time to move on, brother.
@@theacgkid Dale Sr had 3 wives .. so all of them ?
How many times has a caution been thrown while Kyle Larson has been leading versus Denny Hamlin?
So I was a bit worried to hear that Mike Davis was not going to be on the show this year and was still skeptical after the first few episodes but I think you guys have the flow going and the seatbelt discussion was hilarious. Dale ,Andrew, Dalton and crew keep it up!! Oh and 8,208 emails….
Jr….you have alot of common sense……pleasure to listen.
I loved listening to you when you got mad in the car it was the best ever
I like the new pod format. Good work.
I wish that Jr was broadcasting instead of letard telling everybody about he's career and what he would do. Jr is humble like all broadcasters should be
Mike Davis Monthly needs to happen! He surely has the time to join the show just one time per month 😁
The main issue with the switch to USA was due to people who recorded the race ended up missing the end. Especially when these races end during dinner time! If they would start these races earlier it would solve a lot of issues including weather.
@DirtyMomedia, where do i find the videos for DJD reloaded on RUclips?? Only found 14 episosodes on the podcast section and not current episodes.
People love complaining that's all.
Exactly!
you never complain ? 🤔 ok
@@mrwinston_thepug Tru
Ain't that what the announciators now call "story lines"? 🙂
Most people don't cry every week like you fools do.........@@mrwinston_thepug
Way more interesting hearing from Cliff Daniels after a strategy win than having to hear Kyle Larson inevitably defend himself from jumping that start.
Is it possible for the track to get at least the possibility that when the rubber gets worked in to the track and the chance of being able to actually pass a car at least have a chance for the car to find enough grip to make a pass or get loose in the turn so at least there's a possibility to get by a car for the lead. Cars were able to pass further back in line. I don't know if it's true but on Denny's show he said that there was not a pass for the lead on the track the entire race. Either way if I got the chance to attend the brickyard 400 I will have an experience of my lifetime. What was really sad is that the Xfinity series race was way more entertaining
- The biggest problem is the "Overtime" rule on the first place. It shouldn't exist. You have a scheduled distance and you run that distance. Brad Keselowski should have been the winner.
- I might be wrong, i don't have the data, but that restart i don't think Larson jumped the start. When NASCAR released the data from Richmond this year, it was proved that Denny didn't jumped the start. Would be good to see now.
- I think NASCAR handled the final yellow flag well in a good way. In previous race people complained that we had too many overtimes, now that they made a sensible decision people complained too. And i agree with Dale, it was mostly because of the size of the track and how the cars race there. If it was a super speedway with everyone bunched up they probably would have call differently... or not. Denny won a race in Pocono in this same way so i don't think they are taking favorites to the #5 car.
AMEN Brother
Agreed. Reddick is my guy now that Harvick is retired, so I wish he coulda won but the final yellow was the correct call
@rainiernqc Nascar F***Ed it up Everyone saw it so Keep covering for biased people (Golden Boy)and you finish off Cup racing!! Nascar FO!!!
I think people are upset because it’s inconsistent. It was very timed with the white flag.
I’ve only been a recent NASCAR fan because I’m more of an open wheel guy, so I can’t throw my 2¢ in, just from fans and my friends.
I think people are allowed to be upset at that because it’s happened before and the inconsistencies seem to benefit some drivers. The proof I’ve seen seems to validate that outrage.
I agree, they should just say "we tried overtime and it isn't working" and go back to running a distance. People wouldn't be as mad if someone like Josh Berry beat Todd Gilliland. Just imagine if the 23 won instead. Consistently running to a flag is the easiest way!
Nascar over the radios should tell the group who is the control car and let who is decide what lane he wants. Done soon so no running out of gas is not an issue. Or tough luck as teams need to get it together.
NASCAR made the correct decision on the first overtime restart! This is the way it has been done in the past!
Great interview! Crew chief was really informative. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Blaney could have chosen to line up behind Brad.
I don't mind them not restarting, but if I don't think the line should move up if a car runs out of gas or something. They should start where they're supposed to start. That doesn't blame Brad or anything, but if drivers can't change positions under yellow under normal circumstances, I don't think they should be able to change positions if someone runs out.
No matter what it was a fair start in my eyes. Blaney was just a victim of circumstance which I know all loo well.
The segment with Cliff reminded me how much better DJD is with good co-host. Put the producers back in the control closet and bring back Mike
I'm pretty sure NBC put up graphics for several minutes as to the channel the race was moving to.
First, the Xfinity race was the best race of the weekend. Second, yes they should of called the caution in turn 4. Third, I agree with Jr. By then I didn't care, I slept through the second stage and missed nothing, by the end I just wanted it over
I think Larson chose to start behind brad because he assumed Brad was going to pull of the track. Smart on his teams part .Blaney got to choose his spot knowing the same thing . Too bad !
I almost guarantee this had a part in it. Brad had gone soooooo long on that tank of gas. You had to assume it was coming at some point, either works to your benefit or Brad doesn't get off the line cause he's out of gas and it ruins it for Larson too. People just want to believe it's fixed because HMS is a better run team, ask Kevin Harvick about the difference. Unfortunately for everyone else, Larson is one of, if not THE best driver on the track every Sunday. It just is what it is.
Some people don’t have a brain. Larson had no choice in choosing the inside or outside as he was not the leader. Keselowski was leading and had lane choice on restart. Reason Ryan blanket was upset was because the control car pulled off the track right before green. I would have been upset about that but it’s racing
@@nickmartin1692don't think you understand the rules on choosing
What if a spot is missing in a front row the lane couldn't be filled up. So the leader can have the advantage switching lanes immidiately. No jump start confusion either.
I love the stories about cheating, pushing the limits of the rules for the pure-hearted, in sports. I’d love to hear about the electronics every car have that are tuned to NASCAR and any role they may play in the Numbers.
I get what dale is saying. But the yellow would of definitely changed the outcome, not just the leader. Positions are important now more than ever for points.
A race is a race whether it changes anything or not. Would they like to avoid it yes! But sometimes ya just gotta do it.
He had plenty of gas, he wasn't losing that race sorry. People just want to hate him cause he wins too much, just like Gordon in the 90s. The dude is just better. If you don't see that, you're not watching really.
@@shanedelgado666 I dont hate Larson in the least. In fact I like both Larson and Blaney even though Blaney drives a Ford
@@richardforbes943 oh I was speaking to the OP. But that is interesting actually lol
@@shanedelgado666 Huge Dale Jr fan! Met him a few times at fan appreciation days in Daytona. But yeah since Dale stopped full time..having a real hard time narrowing down to one driver...lmao
I was under the impression from the restart rule no car can gain any advantage in the restart box coming to green flag until the control line and should of been pinged for a jump restart maybe as it did seem unfair to Blaney with Larson restart from 3rd to first before the start/finish control race line
It's a massive advantage to go above the line on pit out. The penalties were fair and the lack of consistency lies in the fact multiple violations went unenforced while the most popular driver's did. That contrast leads to this controversy and that's just silly.
And just like that, we’re going back to the road course.
I recorded the race. Watched it at night after a party. Damn end went to USA and I missed it! That’s a problem…
Me too had to watch the end on cell phone
I mean they told you where it was going so blame yourself for being ignorant and cry more
@@truckercowboyed2638 He said he recorded it. It doesn't do him any good how many times they announced it if he's not watching it live. I was in the same boat. I had to watch the end on You Tube in the highlights.
Watching Kyle go through the traffic, reminded me of Dale Sr at Talladega.
Facts!!!
Other cars were running low on gas. Kinda easy to pass cars running half throttle. 😉
@@keithspillmannegative much,?
@@jmom4life864Facts are negative?
@@keithspillman discounting his abilities to just low fuel from the other drivers at half throttle, sounds negative
The field was back under yellow, beforee Turn 1. On the next restart, Blamey stumbles, allowing Reddik to get under him. Blaney forgot all about that stuff, and chooses the crybaby rout/ Stupid!
Blaneys an entitled punk..got ballz insinuating anyone else is worse..love to see him get outta his car and back up his mouth just once..I mean hes gunna "kill" everyone on the radio..hes as skinny as Larson so I dont know who he thinks hes gunna "kill"!!
I love the hats you wear.
