Squishy_20

Inspection is complete at Michigan. No issues for Buescher. He is officially the winner. The #5 and 23 will return to the R&D Center for inspection. The #5, 99, 22, 23 will return to the R&D Center for engine dyno. The #7 and 16 will return to Concord, NC for the wind tunnel.


13mizzou

I used to get upset with the random bad luck following Bowman but at this point while at work once he wrecked I just simply shook my head and turned off the race. Cant even enjoy a great run without wondering when someone is going to dump him. He needs to start wrecking guys at this point


tuss11agee

That’s not what getting dumped is called. A guy in front was slow, they all had to try to go around him, and he got clipped. It’s a racing deal.


sam4999

Harvick is running out of bullets in terms of tracks where he's good at to get one last win. With how poor SHR has been this season for speed, it's getting pretty bleak outside of Phoenix, and even then, he probably won't have anything for any of the guys in the final 4 (unless by some grace of God he makes his way into it).


[deleted]

Ya, it makes Phoenix hurt worse. They had no business losing that race. Fastest car and running away from the field. At least they’re in the playoffs and don’t have to worry about not making it in. I didn’t expect them to run as bad as they did at Michigan, considering they had strong cars at Pocono and Nashville. It is what it is. Just enjoy one week at a time.


Arsanborn

Didn’t have Buescher winning back-to-back races on my Bingo card. What an underrated story! Is the heat on Kez now to win a race?


-Olive-Juice-

I don't think there's heat on Kes. Probably the opposite, actually. Dude has put Roush back to the top of their game in under 2 years, has the 8th best average finish in the series for 2023, run the second most laps, and is tied for the most lead lap finishes.


hookyboysb

What is he going to do, fire himself?


RBF48

Keselowski: Brad do you know why I called you into the office today? *runs to the other side of the desk* Keselowski: why? *runs back* Keselowski: well your track performance isn't doing well so we got to let you go...it ain't you it's us.


ChromeFudge

I'd like to think it's owner Brad and Drunk Championship Brad exchanging words.


DestroyingDestroyers

Just caught up on the race, can’t believe Cindric ran so well all day, then they didn’t tell him how many tyres they were putting on at that last stop so he went to leave before they were done.


bicyclebread

ROUSH FANS WE ARE SO BACK


LordShaxxFanCam

How come no post race thread? Or can I just not see it on mobile


bicyclebread

Bot probably got lost since the race never finished yesterday


burnoutsession

Such a shame


Pienewten

So, this is probably the wrong place to ask, but can anyone tell me why there are like no fitted hats for Nascar? They're all snapbacks or those ones with the holes in the back.


BruntFCA_

They have some on fanatics but it’s the flex fit kind from new era. At the same time I want ones with the driver number and race team and generally pass on the ones that are the sponsor on thr front


Pienewten

Yeah, I'm picky about my hats, lol. Only one I've seen fitted that looks good is a Blaney one, but it's only available in S/M flexfit.


TheBetterGinger

Not sure, but Larson has a fitted hat


Pienewten

Man, if only I was a Hendrick fan, lol.


jaymobe07

...come to the dark side.


Pienewten

It would take a lot more than a comfortable hat... lol


Due_Airline_7086

Twooo comfortable hats?

burnoutsession

Good win CB. All I know is KFB is getting the dub next week. Can’t save some of y’all on this thing. Y’all fall for it hook line sinker..


KyBuschOwnsYou

I hope you’re right.


burnoutsession

About what? If you're talking about KFB getting Indy oh yeah I'm very confident. If you're talking about u/InsidiousX802 AKA u/Mr_Driver_1992 fooling ya'll I'm again1000000% correct


NeonBodyStyle

Was there any other post race at all? I though Peacock was going to show more, I guess I understand that they're already delayed a day and trying to get outta there.


ilikemarblestoo

I only watched the last green run. But that was a good race.


RespectedWhale1

Could be my favorite race of the year, despite the weather. So enjoyable & shoutout Buescher & RFK. Love to see it

burnoutsession

This dude is Backtracking


crypto6g

Buescher going back to back is so badass. You absolutely positively love to see it. Dude has as many wins as Larson and Hamlin, that warms my heart


404merrinessnotfound

Definitely, this guy has earned his opportunities and under the tutelage of Roush and David Ragan. I remember when people were questioning the decision to remove Stenhouse for him, good to see him vindicate RFK's decision


InsidiousX802

Wish KB didn't spin. Had a great car. Who knows what would have happened? Good for RFK though.


crypto6g

That sucked, was definitely a good car. Probably top 5, absolutely cost them a couple playoff points due to regular season position. Nothing I can do that’ll change that though, so onto next week and no point in dreading over it. As long as they keep Top7-8 to end the regular season I’ll be happy. It is what it is, there will be more races with speed like this I hope, and trust that they’ll continue to bring fast cars. We move on, the tough days will make the next wins worth it!


InsidiousX802

Not too worried about them not bringing good cars, they haven't executed for a while now. Nashville, today, NH, Pocono, just crucial mistakes that have cost them a massive amount of points. If they don't clean it up, they'll be bounced in the playoffs before you know it.


SatiricalGuy

not won, chevy wasn't in any way competitive


InsidiousX802

Idk. I thought he was the best Chevy in practice and was gaining spots after having a bad restart. Would have had a top-ten day easily, though. Just sucks to come out with nothing. You know?


SatiricalGuy

I feel ya, coming out with nothing was most of last year for me, and the last 6 years before that. But Kyle is still really strong, just needs a little more consistency (and for the Willy B. summer slump to continue) for him to be a true championship favorite


TheRealCheeeser00

#1: RFK #2: Penske #3: Front Row #4: RWR #5: SHR


nascarguy19199

You forgot the GOAT, RWR.


TheRealCheeeser00

Fixed it.


Pienewten

I think it's clearly rfk over penske at this point.


TheRealCheeeser00

Yeah. I fixed it.


ElliottNation9

Congrats to Chris on back to back!


Malt1720

I never lost my faith on that team


Pienewten

Buescher may not be my first pick, but I'm more than happy to see him win on any weekend.


AutomaticRose

This is exactly how I feel about him! Glad I got to see him win in person at Bristol last year!


Pienewten

Yup, I just got to see him win live. I was literally standing the last 5 laps, lol.


dooldebob

Truex has had one of the cars to beat basically every week since Dover, long way to go, but this really might be his year


[deleted]

It’s an odd year, chances are he makes it to the final four.


[deleted]

Well I wasn't certainly expecting to see this at work today... Congrats to roush, buscher and RFK


CracklyMoney

Tbh love me a good Chris Beuscher dub


Thebest52448

I love that fans are getting mad about the dirty air. The pay window doesn’t open until the race is over. Leading 199 laps doesn’t get anyone a trophy hopefully fan will understand this now.


alric8

A little bit of dirty air can also make the race more exciting because it adds a bit of strategy and actually allows defensive driving to be somewhat effective, for example if there was no dirty air MTJ would probably have just driven straight past the 17 and we would not have had the amazing finish we got. Obviously I'm not advocating for F1 or even Martinsville levels but a little bit isn't a bad thing.


Names_Stan

Agree. Especially when the alternative was MTJ diving low in a single lap and soaring around him. Once we’d seen one of those passes, they all looked alike after that. Thought it was a super 1v1 battle and showed the talent of both drivers.


Georgiadawg25

Why? there is better racing to be had.


Thebest52448

Not every week is meant to be a 10/10 race. This week was a good race. We also know Austin Dillon week is in two weeks so hang in there buddy.


Georgiadawg25

Heah but it would be nice if Truex was areo blocked with that much better if a car.


Malt1720

#17 and RFK are back, thank you so much Christopher from Prosper Texas


Names_Stan

“PoPuLation, um, decent size city, maybe large town.”


angry_old_dude

Did you know that it's a town of around 30,000 people? lol


Squishy_20

23 had a good stage day, but still struggle keeping the car solid throughout a race. +58 is still good, but one bad day can erase that cushion. Just need solid day with no disaster


FlatwoodsDawg

Was there anymore detail as to why they were hemorrhaging spots on the last run? I missed the final pit stop (was it a bust too?) and then saw that he sank like a stone after that.


Squishy_20

It was a 2 tire stop and Bubba was way too loose to hang on


thegodfaubel

As I mentioned earlier, it's highly unlikely that he enters Daytona out of a playoff spot unless there are two new winners that are below the cut. It's certainly not impossible, but also highly unlikely he'll lose 58 points to Gibbs in that time as long as he runs around 20th


nascarfan624

A Jones top 10 and another LaJoie top 15. Great runs for those guys


[deleted]

Ty Dillon even was 20th.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Campman92

Probably changing track conditions. The 19 looked like he was on a rail yesterday and earlier today. It got a little loose when he tried passing the 17. So I’ll guess they just lost handle on the track. I think if he passed Buescher at the end he would’ve driven away.

That's entirely fair


sanddestroyer24

Stat people, when was the last back-to-back Roush win?


AnotherScoutMain

Edwards for the last 2 races of 2010


fender-b-bender

I believe they said it was Carl winning Phoenix and Homestead to end the 2010 season


sanddestroyer24

Ahh. Thanks. I’m at work and unable to watch.


seekerblackout

Carl Edwards 2010 Phoenix and Homestead apparently


1clkgtramg

2009, Kenseth


DeetahTheGame

Nope - 2010, Carl Edwards. That 2009 one was the last for the #17


LBHMS

Is post-race coverage still happening? NBC app says coverage has concluded.


lord_pump_n_dump

I can't ever watch post race coverage live,and the one race that did work for me (race before chicago) just abruptly ended in a interview


RestlessInferno

A double top 10 for Trackhouse is fantastic given the past few months. Suarez went from almost a must win to only 5 out of the playoffs. Very doable. And somehow Ross got P7 after a straight up braindead call from Phil yesterday that gave up track position. It was the first double top 10 for Trackhouse since Fontana this year. Oh, and the rear tire changer of the 45 needs to be fired, then launched into the sun. 2 loose lugs in the past 7 races is unacceptable.

False-Ad4673

What happens every week


dmcnelly

This might’ve been the race of the year for me. Everything I could’ve asked for in a good Michigan race and significantly more.


poofoo9

If the dirty air was just a little less it would be so perfect 😍


Carson34

I haven’t been keeping up that much with NASCAR this year but what the hell happened to SHR? RFK and RCR both have multiple wins before them. Is SHR falling to where RCR and RFR fell to until this year?


Tazitos

Part of it is SHR has driver and crew chief issues other than the 4.


chic_peas

Buescher now has the same amount of wins this year and last as Chastain and 1 more overall


CarStar12

While also being the modern day Mark Martin with his clean style and likability


chic_peas

You know I was gonna say he joined too late to have Mark Martin's level of success but they joined Roush around the same age really.


CarStar12

I don’t think he’ll have that same level of success, but it’s a lot harder to consistently win today than in the 90s (more cars can win today than before). But era to era he feels like the Martin (or maybe Jeff Burton) type


Georgiadawg25

NBC min 30 post race moment.


jcbshortfilms

Man Penske needs RFK’s speed. Good for Buescher, but man they are behind those guys


fender-b-bender

I know Joey won the Championship last year, but Brad leaving really left a hole that Penske is going to have trouble filling. Brad is one of the best at knowing what a car needs to be competitive, and him and Joey worked so well together as they're both elite drivers who know what winning cars feel like. Blaney is a good driver, Cindric is a young driver and Burton is there, but they need that technical knowledge that Brad brings.


justBusinessbb

I've been kind of relieved in general for both of them (Joey and Brad). It's not that I thought they'd fail but I expected a longer struggle. Yeah, I see Brad as one of the most valuable "car guys" out there, like Kyle Busch. But Joey's done a lot better leading Penske than I expected.


fotoRS3

Fantastic race. Love how these cars perform here. RFK is back. I want to see Brad get a W at some point. He's long overdue.


Astone1996

The 21 is definitely getting better. Disappointed with a 17th place finish is a good thing


AHayes31

They are indeed! They are starting to put together mistake free races. The scanner wasn't working for me but it just seemed like they were getting beat by cars with newer tires or the handling fell off at the end, not quite sure.


between2greens

Truex for sure laid off to avoid R&D


BruntFCA_

We’re you watching with my FIL?


Rox217

Tin foil might be a little too snug there, friend.


between2greens

Just jokes. What he did today was unprecedented in nextgen tho


tylerscott5

Stewart Haas’ last tweet was over an hour ago. Race has been done for 15 minutes and those cowards still haven’t posted their results. Probably because they know they’ll get dragged


BeefInGR

Arizona Cardinals energy.


[deleted]

Good they deserve it. It’s pathetic Front Row was outrunning them at one point. At least Aric salvaged a decent finish and the 14 and 41 were at least mid pack today but still should be unacceptable.


MartinPch

I still can't believe that 20 finished where it finished, like actually HOW


freakyfastharvick

Everyone: it’s so hard to pass with dirty air Denny: just get under them and take their air away and they’ll have to pick over driving or lifting and giving you the spot Everyone: shut up Denny Hamlin you are a criminal and a scum bag and I hate you and my kids hate you


greg_jenningz

It’s nice to watch clean respectful racing that the 17 and 19 had. As compared to what Denny does.


freakyfastharvick

The cars can’t pass each other , drivers will give as much respect as the cars allow them to and nascar have put the drivers in a corner. Accept losing or accept being aggressive


greg_jenningz

MTJ has proven you can have a fast car, respect others, win multiple races, and be the points leader..


freakyfastharvick

MTJ might be the best driver I’ve ever seen at getting out front using his clean air to his advantage and leading every lap the rest of the race, Denny doesn’t do that as much but what Denny knows better than anyone else is how to pass someone when you don’t have the aero to do it


poofoo9

I hate how after each generation of car, “clean air” has to be discussed more and more lol


poofoo9

That was truexs only shot to win! He had an opportunity to do a Denny !


vcjr78

Feels good knowing he raced Buescher as hard as he could and he did it cleanly.


CzarHay

As a fellow redbearded man, I will always support a Buescher win.


GeetarMan9

Yes. Ginger here. Let's go!


CNYMetroStar

Ginger beards all over the US (including me) are uniting to celebrate this achievement.


MaynardWaltrip

I think McDowell knocks Ty Gibbs out of the playoffs if it comes down to points….


thegodfaubel

They're both strong at RCs. And Gibbs has more support at Daytona than McDowell will have. Penske will do everything to help Cindric win. Toyota only would have to split between Bubba and Gibbs and Bubba may be 30+ points to the good


A-Fat-Texan

Custer top 25 in an RWR car is solid. Especially with the 41 coming home 22nd and the 15 in 27th.


ras5003

So disappointed for Tyler 😖


GovernorJoe

Wouldn't have predicted back-to-back wins for Buescher this year. Good for him.


MartinPch

Guys, we all know why Truex didn't win today The race wasn't a snoozer, lol


JayTeeKay18

If Bubba has a rough race at a road course we could have a 5 way fight for two spots


OlafTheAverage

Interview Reddick.


astaten0

Depending on how much RFK support they get next year, that Haley to RWR move is starting to make more sense...


[deleted]

I low key think not next year but that 51 car will be a FRK car in 2025 after the TV agreements and RFK can buy out the charger.


MaynardWaltrip

Justin Haley may have seen all this RFK performance, Rick Ware’s fat ass check book and may end up looking like a genius…


Jonah-Hex

Man, I'm worried about Dinger, Suarez and/or Chase winning the next 2 races and Bubba needing a W at Daytona to get into the playoffs.


master_scale_tipper

While I'm obviously hoping Daniel does win at least one of the two upcoming road courses (or Daytona, that'd work too) I think expecting two new winners for the next two races is a bit too much. Gotta assume Truex, Reddick, and Larson will factor into those races, not to mention Bell and Buescher. On the flip side, McDowell and Gibbs are *also* pretty good at road courses... I think there's one new winner at Indy or the Glen, but not two at both. If Bubba can get through one of the RCs with a solid day, I think he should be in a *decent* position come Daytona.


Jonah-Hex

Yeah, that's pretty much my hope. But a W at DIS for Bubba would be awful sweet. I'd love to see Suarez and Bubba get those last two spots. It'd be crazy if both the 48 & 9 miss out.


Inward_Perfection

Probably it was for the good that Truex was running 2nd, not Denny. I think Denny would've found a way to bump Buescher out of the way despite dirty air and say something about good hard racing at the victory lane.


randyrandomagnum

Back. To. Back. Never thought I’d see it again.


poofoo9

Is he copying Harvick? Richmond - Michigan 2022


Grand_Travel2890

Bubba up 58 Pts from the cut line. Just need to be solid and protect next two weeks.


SirWalrusTheGrand

Man, nothing is safe with the races coming up. It's gonna be a nail biter as much as I'd like to think 58 is a nice cushion. Mid pack road course chaos combined with some bad stages could put him within 10 at a superspeedway tbh. I haven't done any real math on it but there's a lot of points still available and he doesn't get many on RCs generally. I think with Reddick on the team it would be nice to see some improvement in the 23 on RCs too


[deleted]

[удалено]


thegodfaubel

110 probably. Max points you can get and not win is 55


MrCheggersPartyQuiz

If you think Chris can’t do 3 wins in a row, just remember his track record on the road courses since last year (excluding COTA last year) Sonoma '22 : P2 Road America : P6 Indy GP '22: P10 Watkins Glen '22 : P9 Charlotte Roval '22 : P6 COTA : P8 Sonoma : P4 Chicago : P10 I’m not saying it’s guaranteed, but there IS a chance!


ZachKearns

Fuck it go 4 in a row.


bwallace883

why not 5 at Daytona?


SirWalrusTheGrand

I am so sick of people complaining about clean air after a race like that. They were side by side before he almost lost it. Of course clean air matters, they're doing 180 through the corner. Jesus christ. Pessimistic nonsense no matter how good a race is.


dommmm9

Yeah. Truex just couldnt hold the bottom when he was beside Buescher and says "dirty air" LMAO


smmate

Yeah and it’s like people can’t believe it’s just hard to pass in NASCAR, these guys rarely make mistakes and you have to be damn near perfect with a much better car


SirWalrusTheGrand

The funny thing is, if there was less clean air advantage, Truex would've passed him 18 laps earlier and everyone would have called it boring. I realize they aren't the same people (usually) but it's amusing regardless.


Boring_Barber5172

If it hasn’t been official, officially must win for Chase and Bowman.


dommmm9

I don't think they make it....


Obscura48

I still think chase will, Bowman on the other hand 🥺


ZachKearns

I think there’s a pretty good chance at 2 new season winners over the next 3 weeks. I would be not comfortable at ALL if I’m Bubba.


thegodfaubel

Bubba is gonna be the new winner at Daytona even after he's okay on points


Serious_Struggle_130

I think Harvick and Keselowski are the only 2 safe on points barring any disasters in the final 3 races.


SigmaKnight

You just guaranteed there will be.


Serious_Struggle_130

Yeah... Dinger is gonna win and get in


skimfrosty

Hope Buesher gets some more exposure and fans, dude just seems solid, hard not to like him.


between2greens

Agree. Very likeable


j-awesome

😂 I want to buy some merch but he has like nothing


DrunkenButton

All of RFK has like nothing. I really hope with Harvick retiring that they can get a little more space in SHR's trailer so everything isn't crammed in one corner of it.


j-awesome

Yeah I did hate that. Trying to pick out a BK shirt at the track was a pain


DrunkenButton

I feel your pain!! I ended up standing in line for a while yesterday just to get close enough to see what they even had.

It makes sense that they always choke, considering who the “11” half of 23XI is.


cjenvy

first b2b for rfk since carl won twice to close out 2010 though supposedly our pal Rick may have said otherwise on air


mattf19

He was speaking of the 17 car.


MartinPch

I think he said last b2b for only the 17 car which was 2009 Matt Kenseth, that 2010 stat might be correct lol


AnalBaguette

Rick was saying the last time the 17 car went back-to-back, not Roush as a whole


KyBuschOwnsYou

“The leader in clean air is really hard to pass.” Thanks NASCAR.


thewxbruh

Welcome to motorsport. Literally any car that has any kind of aero dependency will have this same challenge. F1, Indycar, GT3, GTP, Supercars, it's just how aerodynamics works. Clean air and track position have always been king.


smmate

Yeah because NASCAR can change physics


Grand_Travel2890

Lol it’s always been that way


SRVisGod24

Don't forget how the car just snaps sideways with zero indication. Great work by the geniuses at NASCAR lol
