I feel Hamlin finally got his car fixed after that fake caution. He was able to make up some positions on the restart then hold his position for the rest of the stage. I feel if he didn’t get taken out he would have stayed in the top 15 at least
People say Nascar is a humbling sport, somebody needs to tell Kyle Larson that lol. He does this time n time again, knows they have the best car but over drives it, putting themselves in bad spots trying to make bold moves to get back to the lead….. But wreck themselves in the process.
I notice the audio from Fox is particularly grating to me, and often I opt to just turn the broadcast down to an almost inaudible level. I didn’t have to do that yesterday!!
Always pick NBC over Fox kids 😉
I thought Kyle Busch chastising his Pit Crew was business as usual for Kyle Busch. Just listen to his best of Radioactive.
I wonder if Josh Berry’s past affiliation with Bass Pro Shops could open the door for him and Rodney Childers to go to Gibbs? Also it’s starting to feel like Kyle Busch and RCR is going to end up having a sour ending. Which could even make RCR even less desirable for any future free agents to consider them
Where was your boy , bubba thugga ??
NBC great, Race enjoyable, Eric the BEST
I love nbc ❤
Eric, what are you on. Throw those gummies away, 80 on your grovey gage, WOW! I'll give this race 60 on my gauge. Poor tires and parts ruined this potentially great race.
3 wide is no big deal at Iowa !! Hell they were running 3 4 &5 wide at times in both races
FORD wins again!!
Busch needs out.
Not short track fan but that was a solid race. 150-160 on straight aways, 120 on curves. Thats funs
Remember when fans thought Fox Sports were better than NBC Sports showing NASCAR.
Lmao,I was spot on of your groovy gauge number.
Yep,80 percent was a good number,if not under rated.
LMC is really taking a step back even more this year. I thought last year was bad, but this year is just terrible. They’re not getting any help from Gibbs or any of the actual Toyota teams. They think they can just build this up by themselves without any help or power from TRD partners. I get it all cost money but why come to Toyota if you’re not going to have an alliance with JRG or 23, like you have to align yourself with good power house organizations, in order to be successful. But then again that’s something that petty has never really done, even back in the old days he wasn’t really closely aligned with Penske even in his Chevy days he wasn’t even closely aligned with Hendrick. The point is you wanna make this team more successful you have to have a good partners and although they have the sponsorship this year, they’re losing a ton of money by finishing poorly. Like they are so bad right now, even spire is better
I have a couple things to say, this may be a long comment so just fair warning in advance haha. But even as a pretty big Larson fan, ( i will get to him in a moment ) I want tot ale a sec to talk about Chase Elliott. He is having an incredibly consistent season, probably the most consistent season in this next gen era. He has like what 7 top 5’s and probably around 10+ top 10’s. Even with him only winning one stage and one race, the fact he is leading the regular season standings is shocking in no way. If I remember we are like 17 races into the season, and the fact he has never finished lowers then 20th so far is absurd. Not a Elliott fan in the slightest but, props to him.
My tv never pixilated. i saw cars mid pack racing and saw replays of accidents and saves. I just dont know what to say except go NBC/USA.
God if only NBC could just cover the entire season
I hate to say it but Daniel suarez is a denny hamlin hack he's a hack that was totally on purpose no matter what any hatter says suarez 2 wins 8 years with great equipment hat was a your not going to pass me turn right move theres been 3 wide all day and no wrecks suarez he's a hack and I'm Mexican and he is horse shi* won't be surprised if he's let go at end of his contract he's only in nascar because of his heritage just like wallace!!!
What's going on with Legacy Motor Club, i think JHN has wrecked all of the primary cars, so they're down to b and c level cars now.
Alex Bowman is going to Top 10 his way to the round of 8 isn't he?
It took me years to find a driver after kenseth and now I go for Bell lol Eric jones ruined his retirement stole his ride
Bell was real fast on the last run if he had more laps he was closing in fast he went from 7 seconds behind to 4 in about 30 laps
But Larson crashed himself
i was at Iowa, Larson was in his own zipcode, 2 tire call only worked because of suarez wrecked Larson. on another note, this is the top series of NASCAR, if you can't run three wide on a track like Iowa, you shouldn't be in the top series. unfortunately Nascar is all about who can get sponsors instead of talent….
Larson got into Suarez a couple of times earlier in the race, Suarez got mad and wrecked him, cause drivers are babys these days, you barley bump them, or used to be rubbings racing, now days you rub me, I wreck you. Look at the whole season how many drivers got right reared for no good reason.
Great job Ricky Stenhouse!
How about Chase Elliott's comments?! He said "Glad to see Blaney get the win if he didn't". Maybe overthinking this but is Chase not happy at Hendricks?
I'm giving it a 90 because my driver won. Also I love Steve Letarte!
Don't agree that Larson was the fastest by along shot. Blaney out ran him plain and simple. Also you talk all this stuff but what race car team have you ever help on , I mean bombers, late model,stock. I've at least have been involved with a arca team. And I'm no expert for sure but been racing for 40 plus years with my friends. Bashams and Kimmel
I disagree with you on race coverage. USA network was certainly not better than FS1, and there seemed to be just as many commercials. The commercial side by side with the race doesn't do a thing for me. Might as well just go to commercial. That's my feedback for you. I may be in the minority but that's how I feel. One more thing, you can't beat Jamie Little's style and ponytail!! Kevin in Maine
Good top ten for Bowman?? That’s it??? Goes from 33rd to 8th and he gets one sentence in recognition? I hate how Bowman never gets the recognition he deserves.
I find the discourse between Fox and NBC funny sometimes. I see comments hating Bowyer and Burton, I see people that hate Letarte and love Jammie Little. I saw someone say last night that the commercials on NBC were even worse than Fox! How can you say that with all the side by sides tonight but Fox missed the fireworks at st louis and went full screen commercials with less than 10 laps left in a race?

I don't think Iowa should stay on the schedule.
Hear me out, this date becomes a 'free agent'
Every year its somewhere random/special. places like a Rockingham, North Wilkburro, Iowa, Chicagoland, Kentucky, maybe Road America, just keep it changing, High Plains Raceway in Colorado, and any other tracks that don't regularly have a date.
need to get back to Saturday night races, Monday mornings are tough…
Could you explain how Truix Jr’s playoff position point is +122? I see the other points values are based on the overall season point standing differences.
I thought the Iowa race was Very entertaining and loved all the passing… 90% on the Groovey Gauge for me…😃
Larsons car was clearly the better car before him being put in Denny Hamlin on to next week I suppose still a strong #5 team
Sunday was my first in person Cup race and I am so happy with how everything turned out. It was a great experience, if they keep this track on schedule I’ll be a repeat goer.
Amazing to me that Briscoe is even in the conversation for the 19. Where was he this whole race😂 Berry has shown he is so much better than Briscoe
As far as it goes with Larson, even the greatest homerun hitters still strike out once in a while.
Good Riddance NASCAR On Fox. They suck. Therefore they are.
Don't expect me enjoy the rest of the Dad's Day. So. Keep your blessings.
Your mannerisms towards Busch are Ill hearted… I feel all that needs to stop !!
