I'm not getting my hopes up. 

They are in their cars! I’m never going to watch this whole thing. I’m an old man! I wanted a tomorrow race

[Meacon Keaton]

I'll stay up and be miserable in the morning. And if Kyle Busch or Joey Logano win, I'll be miserable tonight too!

I wish Keselowski had some sort of a personality, because his cars always have some of the prettiest paint schemes. 

[Draevyn]

The damn clock was Martin’s enemy here. There was no way he was getting his car back on.

[Meacon Keaton]

What a fucking finish! Keselowski's back end exploded, and he gets brownie points from me for wrecking Logano! And apparently McDowell won (lol?).

[The Buscher]

That was a friggin nasty wreck at the end.  Exciting way to finish.

Jesus, and now it dawned on me that no matter what he does the rest of the year, Michael McDowell is going to be taking one of the playoff spots.

The one question that I had is whether or not he runs enough races to be part of the playoffs. I can't remember if Front Row is a full time car or not.

I believe so. I think he ran all 36 last year.

They’ve added a temporary light for the road course this weekend. They were saying on the Door, Bumper, Clear podcast that there were spots in the infield during the Clash that the spotters just couldn’t see. Bubba’s spotter even flat out said he was on his own in that section because it looked pitch black from atop the grandstands. I’m glad they’re addressing that. They also poured concrete around the bus stop. Drivers complained that the dirt from around there flew up on the track and it noticeably caused a lot of spin outs. I’m glad they’re addressing these issues. Nothing more frustrating than a driver ruining his and others day because the S-turn is covered in mud.

That said, Bristol dirt track is going to be an absolute shit show and I can’t wait.  

[Meacon Keaton]

Michael McDowell thought he was still in the 500 and refused to slow down going into turn one.  

And Kyle Busch’s car is already jacked up. You hate to see it.  

[Meacon Keaton]

Chase’s dominance aside, which I don’t mind since it’s Chase, this has been a fun and rather quick race.

[Meacon Keaton]

Baby Byron with the win! Let’s go!

[Meacon Keaton]

I like that they’ve been using Cup drivers to do commentary for the trucks and Xfinity races. And I’ll even admit that I enjoyed Kurt Busch at Homestead for the Xfinity race last week, but I’m not going to watch and listen to friggin Joey Logano this weekend.

[Draevyn]

As much as I dislike Logano the driver, he's actually a very good commentator.

[Meacon Keaton]

I don’t care if he’s the next Howard Cosell, he’s a douche who I want to punch every time I hear him speak.

For the two of you that stumble in here outside of the Daytona 500, cheer for William Byron today. If he wins, Forky is going to give me $20.

There were some worrisome moments but I get to keep my $20. 😛 

I actually forgot about saying that until I just read this. Haha

No win, but he looked good again and I'll take a Top-8. Good last couple finishes for my baby boy after a rough first two races.

[Meacon Keaton]

So after betting on Chase to win the last...two? three?...weeks, I'm betting on him today. He's as sure a bet as it comes, I think, considering he beat everyone in the championship race by like two hours.

He's done well at coming up from the back. He definitely has a car that can pull it off it seems.
