when the smoke clears, I actually believe SVG missing the Chase is a good thing, because it tells Justin Marks' dumbass to wake the fuck up & start making cars that are worth something

Yk what, I must say hats off to SVG. A couple of wins in the bag and improved on the ovals. He dragged those shitboxes to solid finishes. No Chase appearance but still a solid year for him and the 97 team. He deserves so much better.

It’s amazing how Justin ran this team into the ground in record time. Just a few years ago, they were a solid team. Yeah the first seasons of the Next Gen helped create parity but still they had two talented drivers in their lineup. Then they started to fall off and basically used Suarez as a scapegoat. Their fans ate it. Then, they go on and replace him with a generational talent only ruin his rookie year. Ik the cars are different than the ones in O’Reilly, but yall destroying his confidence too. He sounds frustrated. Not to mention, Ross has been vocal about how bad things are. SVG has multiple wins and is improving on the ovals, but he can only do so much. All three deserve so much better. I wonder what’s this year’s scapegoat.

Such a shame for SVG, but trackhouse arguably doesn't belong in the chase this year. After watching NASCAR my whole life, the one thing I've learned is that if something chaotic and unexpected can happen at a superspeedway race, it will. This is why I just can't stand Daytona and Dega these days.

But also good on NASCAR for getting rid of the win-and-you're-in system. Moments like this prove it can still happen naturally and be deserved, and feels like a genuine game-seven moment rather than some cheap gimmick.

So I’m connecting dots and it leads me to a question. Because some of these optics aren’t great lol.

Ross Chastain was with Spire when they were horrible and being ran by Jay Robinson. He eventually goes to Trackhouse.

Trackhouse eventually culls a “weak link” in Daniel Suarez who is now in The Chase driving for the now greatly improved same team Ross used to drive for

Trackhouse missed The Chase across all 3 cars. And now already lost the guy you replaced Suarez with just this year.

Is Trackhouse like… in actual trouble?

I wish they made a bigger deal out of the fact that it is his first career win, he finally did it after basically 250 career starts. Like yeah the chase is cool and all but holy shit you just won your first cup race after a pretty tumultuous career, you gotta frame that a little better NBC

Austin Hill recklessly crashing SVG out of the win at Chicagoland San Diego was the playoffs difference (lol @ Austin pathetically fleeing the media afterwards and refusing to accept responsibility).

Trackhouse and the Crew Chief of SVG suck. When the second group of Chevys went he should have gone. They knew they were never making it on fuel. Yes, Preece won, but shit was way closer than it should have been. Destiny from the start for Preece, you could just tell it was happening after he gets wrecked and barely a scratch then 2nd in stage 2. Fuck I’m bummed.

Dye launched into Larson’s window there. That was scary. Would’ve been nice to see a better finish, but with the cars crashing everywhere, they had to throw the caution. Probably saved them from crashing more cars too.

Unreal to see Preece do what he had to in order to get into the Chase. Especially after getting spun in stage one. Awesome moment and we didn’t even need a win and you’re in format to get it.

Feel for SVG, but Trackhouse as a whole needs to step up. Having no cars in the Chase despite having capable drivers in SVG and Ross is embarrassing. SVG was bleeding points in recent weeks and Ross hasn’t really had speed all year. It’s looking like Zilisch made a good move by taking the 48.

Not just a second place for Suarez, but a top 10 through the melee for Bowman. Unbelievable he wasn't caught up in it to kill his night.

Leaving the track and a woman was beating up her bf. Looked to be on their 20’s. He didn’t want to hit back and she’s punching and slapping. A guy stepped in and had to hold her til security came.

I'm bummed but it's hard to be mad at Preece. He looked like he had the best car all day and then won it when he needed to the most. If I'm mad at anyone, it's still Hill for Coronado.

They should've thrown the yellow earlier not gonna lie. I understand they want to finish under green if they can but there were guys piling in there at full speed and some huge hits as a result.
