I honestly had forgotten i drafted him so when I went to look at my roster, and I saw him i was like

On break about 15 minutes in good so far.

Truck race was interesting. It was indeed yet again HEIM TIME! He didn't get it easily though. Several cup regulars were in that race also. Including Hurricane Hocevar. O'Reilly series race should be interesting. Larson, Bell and Chastain are in that one. Larson filling in for Bowman.

Ugh. Well that was boring. I love how they are like "See! Cup drivers lost to an O'Reilly Series regular" when in my head I am like "Allgaier should be in the cup series because his experience and talent is at that level. He has been in NASCAR longer than all of those cup drivers who are in that race".

Good for Brandon Jones though for getting second place. Carson Kvapil getting 5th is a great way of trying to maximize his opportunities with him jumping between a couple of rides this year. Corey Day getting 6th, good finish for him.

Truck race was more interesting. Hopefully the cup series race tomorrow will be fun.

I mean, the Cup races Justin been in really ain't been to great for him. I got no issue with him staying there, he can be a lifer.

Well to me if I am negative of a Kyle Bush, Larson, or whoever coming down to the lower series and winning races, it's only consistent to use that same energy on someone who has far more experience than the rest in that series. Same issue that I had with Matt Crafton in Trucks before he stopped being able to win races. Only driver that could beat him was Kyle Busch for the longest or whoever else from the cup series.

Justin A. could do better in cup once he gets used to the cup car more. Like today he will be in the 48 for Bowman. I get why he doesn't want to go to the cup series (the ride that he had before going to JRM) but to me it still sucks to watch him have this advantage in the O'Reilly series over the rest of the regulars and that gets completely ignored by the commentators. If he continues to substitute for Bowman I hope that he does well. Speeding on pit road hurt him last week.

Gonna be wild if 23/11 would have won 5 of first 6 races today.

Keselowski wins Stage 1.

 

[Doom]

Tyler Reddick gets his 4th win of the season!

 

[Doom]

BK finishes runner-up.

 

[Stellar]

I was so bummed when Brad K. didn't win. Happy for Reddick, but man.... seeing Keselowski up front for a large amount of the race felt like old times and then he was a sitting duck to Reddick with fresher tires.

Reddicks got something going this year. Even during that race when he had issues he still pushed through it to win.

 

[Blazehausen]

Huge mess

 

[Doom]

I just tune in to the race.

Huge mess

I agree. That's a messy restart.
