absolutely brilliant move, and something only someone who grew up playing racing video games would ever think about doing. i wonder if that will start a trend for martinsville. any race from now on, the guy in 2nd knows he can gun it into the wall to make a pass for the lead if he's within like a second and a half of first. i can see nascar passing a rule against it.

    Obviously one of the greatest moves in NASCAR history. If Chastain wins the title next week, he and that move will become legendary. It was also great for the sport as it got everyone's attention in a big way. This was the first Martinsville October race that I have missed in a few years and I am sad that I did. I will be back next year. Amazing weekend for the sport.

    Turn one is where it's at. We were maybe 2/3 up on turn one the last time we went and my god. You see everything. The chaos exiting the pits.

    Ty Gibbs is so unlikable. He'll play the villain role well.

    He’ll instantly be in contention with Logano as my least favorite driver once he becomes a full-timer in Cup.

    Totally expect Slowy to win his second championship tomorrow.

    Unimaginable loss for the Gibbs family today. Thoughts are with them. Agreed with everyone about Ty and his attitude as a 20 year old kid. Didn’t want him to win as a result. That said, none of the matters in the grand scheme of life and I am saddened that his father passed away last night. Joe Gibbs has now lost both of his sons in the past few years.

    Happy for Joey Lagano. Never a huge fan of his, but he really deserved it this year and especially this weekend. A lot of drivers like Joey, Kyle B and others have started to really mature and become more likable. So that is good.

    I fucking hated Kyle Busch. Booing him was the best. But his wife's story with IVF and then him overcoming that injury to actually win the whole damn thing actually made me respect him and maybe even kind of like him. But the fuck I'll ever like Joey Lagano. Dude sucks.

    yeah, I didn't say I liked him, just that he is getting more likable. He was really nice to my uncle who did all the windows in his house for him. That said, Brad K and Joey Lagano are the two drivers I have hated the most in my 30+ years of watching NASCAR so I feel you on that. Joey is just starting to turn the corner for me. I still can't stand Brad K at all though.

    Our fantasy league auto-renewed on DriverGroupGame. The formatting is much different this year, and everyone apparently has to update their account password when they sign in for this season.

    https://drivergroupgame.com/league/ants-marching/home

    For anyone interested, let me know if you need more info to sign up.

    I was utterly shocked when that news broke last night. I’m sure they’ll give him a waiver for the playoffs. Doesn’t seem to take much, although I think there should be less consideration given when an injury takes place away from the track.

    He’ll be able to hit the slopes again this weekend now that he’s been suspended one race for right hooking Hamlin into the wall yesterday.

    I was at the Darlington Race and the Coke 600 this weekend. It has been a fun two races in three weeks, although the Coke 600 was a marathon with the weather. Both races were fantastic experiences for me though. The Next Gen car runs amazing on those size tracks and we got great racing.

    As for Chase Elliot....

    I consider myself a Chase fan, but really, I like most of the drivers well enough. One of my favorite parts of being a motorsports fan is that I don't have a team or driver I live or die with. I do wear a Chase hat at races these days though. With that said, he absolutely hooked Hamlin there. I was sitting high up right at the entrance to turn 1 and it was clear as day that he turned left into Hamlin. 1 race suspension is appropriate for that action.

    Hamlin was driving like a prick leading up to that moment for sure though. However, you don't put a driver's life at risk with retaliation. A lot of people are probably too young to remember some of the deaths in stock car racing at tracks like Charlotte, but I remember Blaise Alexander being killed there in 2001 in a similar impact after crashing with K. Earnhardt. It is a very dangerous section of those shaped tracks and you shouldn't be messing around like that there.

    Safety has come a long way since that time, but the Next Gen car is a step backwards with safety so the risk is not worth it for just losing your temper. Chase could have waited to turn him on the back stretch for example. Hamlin can be a prick, but no one deserves to be put in that situation.

    I get what youre saying but wheres the consistency? I honestly am not even sure Elliott turned into him on purpose. The in car footage shows it happening so fast.

    Hamlin wrecked Chastain earlier this year and he got a slap on the wrist. He even admitted doing it! lol.

    Nascar likes to pick and choose and turn the blind eye in many instances.

    And this one wasnt anywhere near the severity or risk that Edwards and keselowski did to eachother in 2009 at dega and 2010 at atlanta. Both were upside down and almost into the stands in both instances.

    The steering data left no doubt that it was intentional, and intentional right hooks that send someone head first into the wall will consistently lead to suspensions from here on out. Thankfully the safety of the Next Gen car has improved dramatically since last season.

    I know our fantasy league isn't as competitive as it once was, but despite you guys appearing to set your lineups, I'm one race away from sweeping the entire 13-race summer segment and have already won 19/25 races for the year.

    Daytona itself is going to stop me before the two of you do.

    I do actively set my line up and hit up Racing Reference every Friday but you are just running away with it! Maybe EPL fantasy will be closer.

    It’s just one of those years where I’m watching 90% of the races, tracking practice charts, mapping my starts, reading expert advice, etc. I tend to care about the group game every 2-3 years, and the fact that I’m in 9th place and 99th percentile in the giant DGG league speaks volumes for that.

    Fantasy Live is still the superior game.

    BLANEY!!!

    I didn’t think he’d ever do it. I knew he’d have a long career with an occasional win, but I didn’t consider him to be championship caliber. Happy to be wrong!

    I actually met Joey Logano last week at SEMA, and after building up enough rapport with him, I told him I thought he was a piece of shit [lied by qualifying that with “on the track”], but that I’d be rooting hard for his boss.

    Very happy for Blaney! I was at his Charlotte and Martinsville wins this year so I was definitely pulling for him. Especially with Chase and Truex out. I liked all 4 of the final 4 so I would have been happy with any of them, but Blaney was my pick this year!

    The only time I'd ever cheer for Matt Kenseth is when he turned him at Martinsville. Just seems like the worst dude.

    Duels tonight, and our Driver Group Game league auto-renewed for the year.

    https://drivergroupgame.com

    I can provide info on how to join for anyone who's never played before, but it looks like they're requiring a $5 donation again this year.

    7-Time will need to race his way in. Would be pretty wild if he fails to qualify.
