Good for Daniel. It's about time. Guy has tons of talent and just hasn't been able to break through. Here's to hoping for many more wins to come.

Agreed completely Labonte.

Am I missing something? He’s a civilian.

Great, great win for Suarez! Seems like a really nice person and well deserved win.

NASCAR needs to do something about these single lug nuts. I mentioned this after Denny's penalty and now with Chase Elliott. This sucks.

Glad to see another first time winner, but outside of that the race SUCKED. Was there even one lead change under a green flag?
Truck race wasn't any better than the Cup race. I just wish that they wouldn't let Cup drivers compete in the lower levels. If they do, then I think they shouldn't be scored.

According to the commentators, the NextGen re-design should fit perfectly with road courses.

I'm pretty sure that Suarez would agree.

I'm sure, because no one could pass once you got clean air. Sure didn't make the racing fun to watch.

Bruton Smith passed away at age 95.

i think he had ceded much of the control of SMI over to his son Marcus.. But still.. One of the originals gone.

Labonte18 · 07-05-2022, 12:47 PM

And another first time winner.. I still don't think we get 16 winners. But.. 8 weeks to get 4 more. It's possible.

I just.. Who's left that could win?

Blaney and Truex are the two most probable, which really doesn't change anything.

Bell and Harvick are possible.. But I'd put McDowell ahead of them, seeing as we have 2 more road courses.

m1a1mg · 07-08-2022, 06:02 AM

Atlanta, Daytona, and possibly Michigan are wild cards. Dillon, Stenhouse, Wallace......could win one of those.

Harvick runs near the front, but never wins. I don't get it. Bell is too good not to win. Agree completely on Truex and Blaney.
