Hocevar doing a little burnout at victory lane and that lady shaking her head.

The woman must be a Hamlin fan.

Funny enough my Cousin earlier this week saying he don't think he will ever win a race.

Definitely wasn't triggered by him. I call him out when he does something. That was just some bad pushes.

Don’t even think it was a bad push. Think it was just the result of bump drafting.

That could be it also. Like no one's at fault. Just how Talladega is sometimes.

Yeah I was listening to Harvick recently (I think it was on his Happy Hour show) talking about how sketchy it can be in those cars to draft because they can get out of control fast if bumped at a very vulnerable time and none of them could have known or controlled whether Bubba was secure to get bump drafted or not. It really takes a lot of assuming or hoping that everything will be fine when doing it. We can second guess everything but we aren't the ones in those cars doing it in real time, only having seconds to make a decision. So I try not to be instantly super critical of things like that.

The Biffle home burglary update is crazy and sad at the same time. Sounds like there was this grand planned out thing against him. I hope that the police get everyone who was in on it.

Yep. Saw a thing last year where if the pushing car is 2" or more off of center on a bump draft, it can send the car being bumped into a tailspin. At 190 MPH, it's pretty much impossible to ensure that you're less than 2" off of center. With how the aero designs are on these things, bump drafting is ALWAYS gonna lead to wrecks. It's just part of the equation.

Breaking News for a possibility next year.... Stewart AND Harvick possibly running the same truck race.

The stars at night are big and bright.... Truck race in Texas starting soon.
