Live Blogging Nationwide Series From Daytona (7:30PM ET ESPN)
It's rainy in Daytona, but the Nationwide Series is scheduled to run shortly after 8PM.
Nicole Briscoe is in the Infield Pit Studio with Dale Jarrett and Brad Daugherty. These three might see some serious on-air time if the weather situation continues.
Supporting the efforts on pit road are Dr. Jerry Punch, Dave Burns, Shannon Spake and Mike Massaro. It will be Allen Bestwick, Jarrett and Andy Petree in the TV booth once things get rolling.
ESPN is looking for a barn burner tonight. Dale Earnhardt Jr. is in the #3 vintage Wrangler car and there are a ton of Sprint Cup Series drivers crossing-over to race.
The network is ready to begin Sprint Cup Series coverage in just a couple of weeks with this entire TV team. This race will be a great dress rehearsal for The Brickyard.

Thanks for taking the time out of your holiday weekend to stop by The Daly Planet.
Well JD, we can't even get ESPN on DirecTV tonight, it's pouring here in Houston (well all week) and we've got satellite fade. Hope the race goes on though.
ReplyDeleteHappy Race Night Planeteers :)
ReplyDeleteWe're getting some nice well needed rain here in DFW :)
It'll be interesting to see who is left tonight from what I see 20ish teams still planning to S&P. Hope a good safe race is had for all :) <3
Hey all! Hear it's still wet.
ReplyDeleteVicky, Houston has rain fade like no other city I have ever lived in!
I loved that opening! Sent chills!
ReplyDeleteThat was the best opening for any sport on ant network that I have seen in years. Gonna be a fun one tonight sports fans...
ReplyDeleteagree Mike! That was awesome <3 Daytona...let's ride!
ReplyDeleteHi all - Looks dry for now at the track.Its so nice NNS has no vuvuzelas!
ReplyDeleteGymmie - Your well-needed rain will be upon us here shortly.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't help but notice that some of the usual S&P contingent isn't here tonight. Do we have a chance at seeing a mostly full field for most of the race?
Negative, several will start and park. I expect 49, 28, 43, 89 without any doubt. There are about 7 or 8 more what if's.
ReplyDeleteMV feel free to help me out!
This telecast is sizzling so far!
ReplyDeleteDavid, I was holding out a little hope that if a team sprung for the R&D on the new car, they could run a few extra laps. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteGlad to share Dave :)
ReplyDelete<3 the Mustang! Such a purdy car :)
This is a milestone night for this series. So far, ESPN is up to the task!
ReplyDelete@David - I don't know. Any other race, I could think of a few teams that are secure enough in the top-30 that they could park early to save their "new" car for later in the season.
ReplyDeleteHowever, a lot of teams that could park either have new sponsors or have a driver behind the wheel that I don't think is there to S&P.
Even the #28 has a few new sponsors on the car, so it may go the distance, or at least try to.
Dave, you'd like to think that but with the history of Daytona, some teams only have one single car here and they have to get to Michigan in 5 or 6 weeks. Can't afford to trash a car right now if your one of them. Steve Wallace has said they are in their Michigan car now since they crashed yesterday.
ReplyDeleteIt's not very often I enjoy a prerace show anymore but this has been darn good!
ReplyDeleteI really like Nicole & Dale on the pre race tonight.
ReplyDeleteAnd as usual, Brad brings nothing to the table...:(
ReplyDeleteThe Nascar move of the year award goes to the executives at ESPN for moving Jerry Punch back where he belongs. Still the best in the business on pit road!
ReplyDeleteWe may luck out though Dave, aside from the 49 and 43 as well as the 73 and 89 the others may actually try to run. 27, 28 are questionable. 04 and 01 should try to run. 05 has sponsor, they should run as well as 07.
ReplyDelete10 should run but we'll see. Morgan barely made it to Daytona in time. Got a rare break from the powers that be to be able to attempt.
But, I expect to see some cars fall off the draft early on purpose to avoid getting caught up in a wreck. 28 has stated this is their only car so they are being conservative. Only ran 2 laps all weekend and had issues in tech. Not admitting they are S&P so we'll see.
Solid pre-race so far.
My sleeper is Shelby Howard guys. He was fast in Talladega and is fast so far this weekend.
Hang in there, PammH. Two weeks to Ricky Craven.
ReplyDeleteJD, Mike put ESPN on non-HD so it doesn't fade as much. Seems like we'll be able to watch the race. Hope our David Starr stays out the whole race too.
ReplyDeleteIs it just me or does it seem like the content is much better during the shorter prerace shows? It seems that they just use quality pieces rather than using fluff to fill the time. All prerace shows need to be 30 minutes or less!
ReplyDeleteMarty Smith did a great job with the Earnhardt piece. I just wish ESPN hadn't already run it 27 times this week.
ReplyDelete@Brad--yes it does seem that way. When they have less time they fill it with CONTENT when they have more time they stretch it out to what ends up being a hot mess of very little content and lots of fluff :(
ReplyDeleteMissed most of that segment with AB and the Dodge folks. Penske has a long history in designing its own chassis though in other motorsports ventures.
ReplyDeleteShalom and amen . . . memories of the Rev. Hal Marchman
ReplyDeleteWow, I have my Sirius radio on, but no sound. They run the line-up & it's giving me chills to the the number 3 in the 3 spot...
ReplyDeleteGood anthem and start your engines. Have a safe race everyone! Go Parker & David!
ReplyDeleteMan, these guys are hitting out of the park tonight.
ReplyDeleteHope the race is good on the track.
3 chances at a green flag start?!?!? Why why why is he even there ???
ReplyDeleteBrad D needs to just be an owner period.
ReplyDeleteMW55 too.
Don't forget about the free scanners tonight on NASCAR.com
Shalom and amen indeed!
ReplyDeleteGentlemen start your engines.
Let's get it on.
Go #3, please.
That command excluded Jennifer Jo Cobb.
ReplyDeleteDavid, you're forgetting Phil Parsons, too.
ReplyDeleteThey really need to give up on this in car reporter thing. It seldom works right.
ReplyDeletePhil just needs to stop being an owner LOL
ReplyDeleteWhat's the over/under on start-n-parks. Many teams don't have another new car.
ReplyDeleteI don't get why Chevy is so stupid about not using the Camaro for racing.
ReplyDeleteNO rain here in the Puget Sound ... Ha Ha Ha
ReplyDeleteThanks JD. My son just saw that you tweeted 2 of my comments from here. He thought that was the coolest thing. Granted he's only 13 but I will take what I can get.
ReplyDeletei can understand from a competitive aspect why Chevy has not run the Camaro. Logically you'd figure with that indent the Dodge and Mustang would be horrible, the Camaro has a similar design so why run it? Plus GM is not willing to badge the Camaro race car with a b-pillar since the street version does not have one.
ReplyDeleteI'm saying 5 start and parks for over/under
ReplyDelete@Sally - I don't get it, either. But it will be intersting to see if the old "win on Sunday, sell on Monday" mantra comes back into play for the Mustang and Challenger.
ReplyDeleteLOL @ Brad Coleman behind Punch
ReplyDeleteAnd they're (KRKO-AM) tape delaying the Coke Zero 400 and airing it Sunday at 9am ...
ReplyDeleteWhat good does it do to tape delay an auto race on radio ?!?!?
Brad, ESPN loves it when we pass comments along like that.
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking the time to offer them.
WOW! A Days of Thunder reference by someone that was in the movie. Go Jerry!!
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing 12 S&Ps. We have at least 5 or 6 with the old car.
ReplyDeleteThose cars just looked dang good on that wide shot! These cots look like racecars. Nice
ReplyDeleteWhat do Mike Joy and Allen Bestwick have in common? Among other things . . .. they always mention when people hail from New England, or elsewhere in Modified country
ReplyDeleteJunior tried like hell to lead lap 3 in the 3
ReplyDeleteNo plates on these cars, only the tapered spacer. Should make for a good racey race. Much like Trucks are here.
ReplyDeleteBestwick doing an excellent job thus far. Good camera work as well
Nice to see someone actually drafting with Junior. Hasn't happened as much as it used to.
ReplyDeleteAlthough, remembering Kyle during practice, I'm not sure I'd want to be racing around him.
ReplyDeleteteam cars. not what baker curb wanted to see there.
ReplyDeleteKez pipped Jr at the line on lap 6 per the camera. Kez has led all laps so far.
ReplyDeleteNeed a better replay for sure!
ReplyDelete@David - Team cars only in NASCAR's eyes. The #27 is run by Jennifer's Truck team and the #43 is a Chevrolet, so the owner points were probably "rented" by another team (possibly Shepherd who also ran Chapman in the last race).
ReplyDeleteYet another wreck that they miss ... cause they were watching JuneBug ...
ReplyDeleteHate that for Jen :( She's so nice and chats with us on Twitter :)
ReplyDeleteToo bad for Jennifer Jo, bad Jalapenos!
ReplyDeletestill not what they wanted to see in owners points lol.
ReplyDeleteWow they used a full screen tech center under caution! Great call!
49 off
ReplyDelete@Gymmie - Jennifer might run Chicagoland too as the #27 team, her Truck team has been preparing an "old-style" car for her in addition to this "new" car. Have you checked the pictures on her crew chief's page?
ReplyDeleteLight FUN booth. For real, not the make believe FOX one...
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised that the seats are as empty as they are, and that Earnhardt Nation didn't show up in droves for this historic drive. What does that say about the state of Nascar in general?
ReplyDelete49 back in the race.
ReplyDelete56 appears to be off now.
Major kudos to Jennifer for her honesty. Very refreshing
ReplyDeleteFYI Daytona Track pres said the superstretch is CLOSED for this weekend. Only sold tickets on front stretch
ReplyDeleteGood to see Jennifer's OK, but sad to hear her team might not be able to run the other 3 COT races she had planned.
ReplyDeleteSo if no one has driven behind the 27 car, is that because she's always in the back?
ReplyDelete@Martin--yes I have seen the pictures! I hate that too for her :(. Wish I had money to help her she tries so hard! That's a fan car I'd get behind!
ReplyDeleteThanks ESPN,for the driver interviews from outside the medical center.
ReplyDeleteTeams ran limited laps due to financial limitations so there were some people that ran totally in the dark. Cobb was one of them sadly.
ReplyDeleteDid Mr. Jesus just start and park?
ReplyDeleteSuper of ESPN to interview Cobb and Champman.
ReplyDeleteYeah JD, looks that way.
ReplyDeleteAlthough they may neither finish well nor get much TV time, it's cool to see Sacks and Schrader in this event, bridging the gap between old and new.
ReplyDeleteWill someone tell Shannon to MOVE away from where she is??
ReplyDeleteThere's all kinds of background noise that's annoying!!!
Nice solid coverage so far. hope it stays that way all night!
ReplyDeleteYes JD it seems Mr. Jesus did indeed S&P :(
ReplyDeleteYes it was very nice of them to talk to Jenn and Johnny :(
Wow, impressive by the Penske teammates!
ReplyDeleteClose call for Justin and a great catch by ESPN!!! Impressive work all the way around by TV and the drivers!!
Cobb is on Twitter and has a big Facebook fan page.
ReplyDeleteShe is a business person and really works a hard deal.
Wonder when she will show up on SPEED's "Race Hub?"
Hey, this is actually......FUN!
ReplyDeleteMaybe part of the fun is that with the new car, no one knows what to expect....so, anyone really CAN win the race tonight. Unusual uncertainly, and not just waiting for the 'Big One'?
ReplyDeleteOK this is killing us here ( Ford retirees) that Charger looks really good. Mustang looks good too. But that Charger...
ReplyDeleteBig time fun indeed. It's an all out race. Whoo hoo!
ReplyDeleteGreat coverage, cool images, this is what it's supposed to be like. Thanks ESPN
ReplyDeleteChallenger =) No Chargers in this race
ReplyDelete@Jojaye - Challenger
ReplyDeleteMcClure was a moving chicane the first time he got lapped, wondering if he's going to be as dangerous to pass this time around.
ReplyDeleteWe're about halfway, with only 2 S&Ps?
ReplyDeleteThis is what Nascar, ESPN and the Nationwide Series needed after a few lackluster events. This has been great so far!
ReplyDeleteThanks guys Hubby corrected me the minute he saw it. Hangs head blushing.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could stay up for all of this. Furpal died this wk & I haven't been getting alot of sleep. Taping the race, but luv listening to jr on trackpass! And the broadcast has been excellent also...will finish it in the morn.
ReplyDeleteThey've missed the last two leader changes ...
ReplyDeleteGo to commercial and it's Bowyer / Harvick ... come back and it's Kyle / Joey .... talk about & show Carl ... then it's Gator / Brad ...
Can't get a report from pit road to confirm if there's a specific reason Edwards dropped to the back?
ReplyDeleteLooks like Bob Pockrass' prediction of 20+ S&P cars never came true. Wonder where he got that impression.
ReplyDeleteJust got a tweet from Nicole Briscoe in ESPN's infield studio.
ReplyDeleteShe and Brad are digging the racing just like us.
Man, she has come a long way from the freaking SPEED Report with Barbie and Ken!!
Jo, we're Ford peeps! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see these cars on a short track! If NASCAR was looking for something to spice this series up, mission accomplished.
ReplyDeleteSince when is the Impala a "pony car"?... Come on, Brad, get your head out of your...
ReplyDelete@RWar24 - was listening to Carl and he said it was too crazy up front with a crash due any minute so he decided to play it safe for awhile. Said he'd be up front at the end.
ReplyDeleteDaly Planet Editor said...
ReplyDeleteJo, we're Ford peeps! LOL!

Cool Keep buying Fords & our pension keeps coming. LOL Besides I know the real name is "those bleeping Dodges" look Bleeping good LOL
This is too funny from Twitter:
ReplyDeleteDWaltrip: rain all around but none here at the track,vortex ?I'm just sayn' !!!
SBNation's Jeff Gluck: DUDE...GET OFF THE VORTEX THING!!!
I love the front ends on these cars. It's amazing how not having the splitter braces can really improve the overal look.
ReplyDeleteThanks Gluck!
ReplyDeleteKyle's radio said radar clear to the end
It's a thrill just to be able to tell the difference between the cars from a distance.
ReplyDeleteI agree, RWar24
ReplyDeleteJD, I used to not like Gluck, but he's grown on me. Love that kind of talk from him.
I predict the next caution will be because of Bayne. He's sooo loose and is about to wreck coming off 4 every time.
@Patrick - Logano has been really loose quite a few times too.
ReplyDelete@RWar24 - they do look much better - shame the Cup cars don't look this good!
ReplyDeleteGot a little white noise or some sorta hum on my DISH Network System a little while ago, but it's gone now. Good race so far, caution should be comin' up, it usually happens.
ReplyDeletetalk of debris on the officials radio.
ReplyDeletecaution out for debris
ReplyDeleteAll this fun!!
ReplyDeleteAnd NO Rusty
caution. debris backstretch 3/4 down on the yellow line.
ReplyDeleteScaks was 12th before the caution,... team rolled a tire across pit road.
ReplyDeleteGlad they showd the debris - if only for a moment.
ReplyDeleteJust curious with Rusty off tonight, have they ever put Tim Brewer in the pit studio?
ReplyDeleteMrs Briscoe -
ReplyDeleteIt's Hal - luh - pain - yo
anon @ 9:34,
ReplyDeletedon't even joke about that. there's less opportunity to show off the manicure, anyway.
I'm sorry, but I cant shake the image of Jeff Dunham's Jalapeno-On-A-Stick.
ReplyDeleteBe hard to put 'recorded earlier' tim brewer in the pit studio. ha ha
ReplyDeleteMan, this has been fun. Hope they keep it clean and not make it a wreckfest.
ReplyDeleteyou and me both OKC Dave
ReplyDeleteover/under on # of caution flags in the last 25 laps. I say 2. Hopefully not but it should get wild!
ReplyDelete3 yellers
ReplyDeleteThe Harvick connection to the 3 is worth repeating as well.
ReplyDeleteDave in OKC,
ReplyDeleteI should have said, 'i keeel you' silence!
2 cautions + 2 G-W-C!
ReplyDelete73 to the garage. can't lose anymore positions.
ReplyDeletePatrick- If we end up with more than one GWC, then keel me! :)
ReplyDeleteLOL @ 12
ReplyDeleteRare misstep by Bestwick, said Allgaier and Keselowski started on the front row.
ReplyDeletehelluva save by lil gator
ReplyDeleteTouh break for Allgaier.
ReplyDeleteGreat save by Justin & good camera shot to catch it! Nice
ReplyDeleteNow is not the time to be cramming in commercial breaks!!
ReplyDelete@JD--yes I'd love to see Jennifer on the Hub! I think she should get lots of props! Great convos on Twitter & Crew Chief Steve is wonderful in sharing the Pick 'em Ups pictures with us!
ReplyDeleteI <3 Gluck <3
And no Captain Obvious in the Pit Studio!
@Charlie--LOL!
JD, are we running early? seems commercial laden all the sudden. may just be me.
ReplyDelete@David
ReplyDeleteand side-by-side Sunday on ABC
Brad,
ReplyDeleteThis is not the producer's call, he has to pay the bills and there is someone in the TV truck that makes sure he does.
Killing the program's momentum.
Forgot ALL about this race (I said i was not into NASCAR anymore and this proved it! Missed the 3 celebration)
ReplyDeleteBut Just turned on BSPN 15 minutes ago and it's nothing but BUMPER CAM MANIA.
Shame. Somethings never change.
Sophia
(Blogger suddenly making me log in constantly last few weeks or hassle)
Sacks back up to 11th!
ReplyDeleteThere have been almost no in-cars used in this race.
ReplyDeleteWe have been talking about that since the start.
Thanks for joining us...
Both JR Motorsports cars running 11,12. Guess Sacks remembers how to do restrictor plate tracks. Good for him.
ReplyDelete8 to go , let's keep it on track.
ReplyDeletecant believe that they have stayed green. Who you got at the end? Jr and Harvick or Busch and Logano? could get crazy.
ReplyDeleteEver since the new look of the Daly Planet I have had to log in each time. It use to remember.
ReplyDeleteSurprised no Nascar caution yet with just 7 to go.
more talk of debris. this time below the yellow line.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
ReplyDeleteHere's GWC #1
ReplyDeleteMayehm doming at daytona.
ReplyDeleteMenard takes care of the NASCAR caution.
ReplyDeleteNo question about this debris caution.
ReplyDeleteYeah can't say I will make a huge effort to catch the IRL series until they get the new engine and car.
ReplyDeleteside by side is nice but its also the 4th.
tomorrow night will work for me.
Great...this is just LOVELY.
I still hate the style of bumper cam they use. I despise these new onboards with a passion
@brad - Don't forget Keselowski, he's going to be a factor.
ReplyDeleteKyle overrides his crew chief. Should be interesting post-race if it doesn't pay off.
ReplyDeleteOK. GWC. No team mates or manufacturer ties in the front 2 rows. this could get dicey! Hope every body make the checkered unhurt.
ReplyDeleteESPN scheduled until 10:30PM tonight for the race telecast.
ReplyDeleteRatcliff called 4 tires late
ReplyDeleteSacks stayed out and runs 6th.
ReplyDeleteCharlie
ReplyDeleteI keep a small blog, same design I've always had there, & have to log in CONSTANTLY lately there, too, in recent weeks. Behind the scenes tweak at Blogspot. Not JD's new design. :)
Still too many bumper cams for me in 15 minutes. Shame about a real caution. GWC could be serious mileage issue. Glad they got the race in & rain stayed away!
Love Jrs car paint scheme. We need more EASY to read, nice schemes...
Logano never even tried. Sad sad sad!
ReplyDeleteWOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! jr won! I am SO HAPPY FOR HIM.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm...and it was Tony Jr. Very interesting.
:)
Got some daggone good NASCAR TV tonight, no matter who won!
ReplyDeleteNice telecast!
Congratulations Jr, Cousin Tony, TJ and everyone <3 #3
ReplyDeleteyes, yes, yes . . .
ReplyDeletegood telecast. nice race. Good for Jr and Tony and the 88 cup crew. Good night for Nascar and ESPN!
ReplyDeletePolish Victory Lap?
ReplyDeleteGood telecast Espn.
ReplyDeleteVery well done. One suggestion, have Dr. Punch handle victory lane for this one.
ReplyDeletewhen will we see the wreck and the incident on pit road???
ReplyDeleteIt would be a shame to drop the ball after a such a great broadcast to this point.
Woohoo! Juuuuunnnior!
Good race coverage by ESPN tonight, I'm so happy for the Jr's the crew & their fans. Just a good race - nice job
ReplyDeleteSeeing that #3 up front at Daytona...brings back memories. Sniff.
ReplyDeleteAB got to call Jr winning the 400 after Big E died too. real emotion in the booth was nice to hear.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great night for Allen Bestwick to be in the booth. He was there for that memorable call in the 2001 Pepsi 400 when Dale Jr. won, and he had another memorable call tonight at Daytona! Nice job AB!
ReplyDeleteThe script was written and the winner was determined when the announcement was made that Jr. was going to drive the #3 one last time. Professional wrestling is less predictable.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Jerry Punch should have done the interview.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great night for Allen Bestwick to be in the booth. He was there for that memorable call in the 2001 Pepsi 400 when Dale Jr. won, and he had another memorable call tonight at Daytona! Nice job AB!
ReplyDeleteThat was wicked wreck & no caution? Still happy Jr won & GReAT to see this boy SMILE after a WIN!!??
ReplyDeleteWow, so emotional...reporter asked how does it FEEL question...come on. Sheesh. Let him go.
FABULOUS T SHIRT!!
@Suckered again
ReplyDeleteAre you serious right now?
I like Dave but that was a moment for Dr. Punch. The RC interview should be good.
ReplyDeleteI won't call it a fix, but man the fact that no one really made a serious move there the entire last 30 laps was pretty bad. Pretty good race until that next to last caution. Kyle even called it on his radio, caution waved right after he was passed while ESPN was at commercial.
ReplyDeleteToyota is getting a raw deal on the engine rule though because the Chevy's have the R07 and should be running the same spacer as Toyota.
Its cool for Jr, just wish we weren't robbed of that killer run Keselowski had coming!
Solid job most of the night by ESPN, commercials were really crammed in there but other than that cant complain
Agree with you, Suckered Again. I wanted Jr. to win. But if they're going to fix a race for him, they ought to be less obvious. To have him win at Daytona after his Daddy got killed, then he wins again in the 3 in memory of his Daddy... Geez.
ReplyDeleteKenn
I agree Jerry Punch DESERVED the Jr interview & would've done a better job. I hope this race helped heal some wounds but I can see while some are skeptical of the outcome..and I'm a Jr fan! :)
ReplyDeleteHow in heaven's name do you fix a race like that?
ReplyDeleteThis I have to hear....
You can't fix races at Daytona sheesh. People just don't know a good driver when they see one. Just like NASCAR fixed the races when Jeff Gordon won his 4 championships eh?
ReplyDeleteIm sure all the competitors tonight said "Yeah lets let the #3 car win cause we feel bad" COME ON!
Anyways.....good broadcast by ESPN. Commercials kinda backloaded at the end there.
It will be very interesting to see how tonight carries over to the Cup side for Junior.
ReplyDeleteFor the love of everything sacred. I know there are haters out there but fixed races? really???
ReplyDeletethe only fix is what was rumored after his win right after his dad's death..that his engine was allowed extra horsepower.. not sure in this case..but that other win he could pass people without anyones help..
ReplyDeletePlate races are actually easy to "fix" because it's as simple as putting a bigger plate under the hood.
ReplyDeleteNot saying that's what happened but I am saying if you were going to that is how to do it.
Don't blame NASCAR for the "fix". Blame Joey for not having the attachments to pass. Experience will teach him that you got to stick your neck out there if you want to pass anyone at Daytona.
ReplyDeleteFixed?!? These guys would slam their mother into a wall to win a race to the bathroom!
ReplyDeleteProbably believe in black helicopters too
David,
ReplyDeleteDid you really just say that?
Always conspiracy theorists out there. Afriad to face the facts.
ReplyDeleteDavid,
ReplyDeletePlates aren't run on the Nationwide cars remember ;)
JD, again not saying it is what happened here tonight but if your going to do it thats exactly how. Hell you don't even have to make the plate bigger just having someone hold it in their hands with some rubbing compound around the edges is an advantage right there. Thus why teams don't put their own plates on anymore.
ReplyDeleteI think it was a legit win tonight I was just playing the devil's advocate card.
Joey flat didnt take a chance and gave Jr that win. Then Harvick pushed him for 25 laps.
Id be curious if that is the R07 or SB2
I suppose they must have paid off Harvick to spin his tires and then say so in an interview to make it look good right?? This is insane. What does anybody have to gain by making sure Jr wins a nationwide race? Don't you think they might break that long dry spell in the cup series. Unbelievable.
ReplyDelete
