Blaney spins on lap 318. With the pis stops during the yellow, Truex caught speeding.

Elliott has a flat and hit the wall. Larson is the only Hendrick car still competitive.

1st win of the year for Hamlin. I don't know how Larson didn't wreck about 18 times in the last 5 laps.

Gibbs might be wishing the twerp actually went to 23XI after that race and the "S" interview.

I didn't bother with his interview. The the way he flew through the pits on the way to his hauler and almost ran over fans told me it wouldn't be good.

Final iFL results on Tuesday, although I'm pretty sure it won't change.

Looked to me Shrubby came down on Dillon. I suppose Shrubby expected him to give way because "I'm Kyle Busch". Like the crowds reaction..

Hamlin is a Gibbs driver and runs upfront. KB2 is a Gibbs diver and runs mid pack or wrecks most of this year.

The team approach and the cars is probably pretty equal. Sims would provide some differential in set up based on drivers preferences.

The one variable would be the driver, or the driver / team relationship.

I think KB2 is a great driver, but ever since the practice sessions stopped for the most part he has lost his edge imo

He did fly thru a few cones. Pocket change for the hot head...

I'm not as concerned about the cones as much as the people who had to get out of his way. He got close to some of them. I guess it's OK that he missed all of them. Why not suspend him for a few races?

No doubt. It just showed how he didn't care what happened going to his hauler. He should be suspended. But, he's TWT....🙄 Bad for business.....

Foxes Bob Pockrass has been defending TWT and said TWT shouldn't be fined for running over some cones that are used to direct cars over the last timing loop so cars get credit for finished laps. What has he been drinking? The cones are for blocking, not directing when the space between the cones is much less than the width of a car. Look how close they are. I marked them with the red lines;
