When I made it as a cup driver, I didn’t think one of the highlights of my career would be pushing Cleetus McFarland, BK & CB to 159 mph in crown vics at DEGA! Most American thing I’ve done. Like a bald eagle. 🦅🇺🇸

@brettmorse_ And by that I mean Greg should be on the box 😂

@brettmorse_ The worst part is Greg Ives is still around…

Will never forgive Michael McDowell for tricking Rick Hendrick into thinking Blake Harris was a good crew chief

You know how DW is going to get this race started.

Be like Biff. @RFKracing honors Greg Biffle with tribute schemes at @TooToughToTame.

Back then and right now? Racers are built different. And winning never gets old.

Blessed beyond words. We welcomed Cameron Jade into the world on 3/19! Becks is already loving his little sister!

Alex Bowman has plenty of support helping him through his latest setback, including his three teammates. While they can’t do much, making sure Bowman hears from them is important. “It’s a really scary thing, honestly.” racer.com/2026/03/17/hen…

"That's my boy!" ❤️

@TheMikeBagley @PPistone Drivers consider the Brickyard 400 a crown jewel. Media consider the Brickyard 400 a crown jewel. NASCAR considers the Brickyard 400 a crown jewel. Why is it that a lot of fans don’t? For the record I do, and I’ve been to 14 of them. #TMDNASCAR

The whole idea was Biff/Cleetus putting together a plan to have Cleetus run the Daytona 500 one day. Regardless of your opinion, Cleetus has been outspoken since his first ARCA race of that goal. People seem to be caught off guard, but Cleet/Biff put together this plan together.

@stephen_stumpf Same!

@KevinFowlerJr I did see that, so I’m glad that was acknowledged.

40 minutes later and we’ve only seen lap times on one graphic that was on screen for 5 seconds.

@DaleJr @TravisRockhold Teams be like “I can avoid this but imol just risk it”

@TravisRockhold Teams know how to avoid, im just saying

Love how we are already having tire issues

@ChrisLTX @jeff_gluck I had it briefly, and the eyes thing freaked me out. Like no control over them at all.

@KevinFowlerJr @jeff_gluck It is horrible. So many think it’s just being dizzy. It’s so much more than that.

Alex Bowman has vertigo and will not race at Phoenix, per Hendrick Motorsports. Reserve driver Anthony Alfredo, who does all the sim testing each week, will be in the No. 48 car.

Alex Bowman will miss Phoenix after being diagnosed with vertigo this week. "We’ll continue to support Alex and look forward to his return as soon as he’s medically cleared." hendrickmotorsports.com/news/2026/marc…

@PPistone @DaleJr Great, glad to hear. I only caught the last 30 mins today and it seemed like it was all one sided “how could NASCAR let this happen” If Dale says this deal with benefit him more as a race car driver than anything he could do running ARCA races, then I’ll take his advice.

@KevinFowlerJr @DaleJr And all points we brought up on the show today - but the question remains even with that in the mix along with just 6 national series starts is that enough to be approved to run in NASCAR’s number 2 division?

To me @DaleJr so far has been the only one that has actually provided some real insight to the Cleetus situation. Everybody just sees that he’s approved and gets all up in arms, but Dale talked about how just by signing this deal with RCR, he’s going to be able to get in the SIM and learn way more than he would driving a full Arca season. To me, it’s not about just him running an O’Reilly series race. It’s about him being self-aware that he needs to improve and finding ways to do so. During that conversation, he said that they were able to overlay his SIM with Jesse Love’s SIM and he could see the difference in what Jesse was doing and make adjustments and immediately he shaved two tenths off his lap time. It’s not gonna happen right away, but if his goal is to improve as a race car driver in NASCAR, the only way he is going to do that is to keep learning. He also said he’s purchasing a late model stock car so that he can get laps in at his own track because he understands that he doesn’t have enough seat time to learn the race craft like he needs to. @TheMikeBagley @PPistone #TMDNASCAR

@nascarcasm This is probably the most real and honest take tbh 😂

Cleetus is a phenomenon that brings tons of eyeballs. Therefore I have no problem with him getting a few starts. But whether he gets finishes well that's up to him I guess.
