@daletanhardt My opinion the event doesnt end until the winner hoists the trophy. It was an absolute travesty when we get no post race coverage, Now that we get post race coverage back, but only a snippet of victory lane in a side by side or background prevents any & all emotional connection

Maybe a cold take here. I dunno But this should put the nail in the coffin on frontstretch interviews. Denny should’ve been able to soak in that entire moment in AND out of the car. Maybe he did. But the reporter & camera guys waiting there for him is so forced

@AlextheAdm1ral Is this race too long? 🤣🤣

This should make everybody good on gas. Man we got a wreckfest today

@AlextheAdm1ral Ya I can think of that sharp of a bend in those steel bars of the safer barrier

Don't think I've ever seen a safer barrier get damaged that badly before

@AlextheAdm1ral Crazy he got that car around back into the pits. Hope his noggin is okay

Man Reddick took some hard hits

@DCONN24 William Elliot? Thought it was Clyde

Yeah they should start calling them William Elliott, James Hamlin, and Darrell Wallace Jr huh

@shortshiftpod Really praying the home teams lose

god I fucking hate both of these teams so much.

@NoahGragson @GoldenKnights @rileyherbst We need more hockey & nascar crossover

We here @GoldenKnights @rileyherbst

@MambaSmith34 Aslong as the Racing is good. Green to checkers is fine. Don't get me wrong, carnage & accidents can be a nice spectacle. But if that's the sole reason to watch. Then that's the wrong "fan" to keep happy. We watch for the Race!

If you get rid of stages and races start going green to checkers because there’s less attrition then ever before people will lose interest. I’d rather stage cautions than mystery yellows for nothing or drivers throwing roll bar padding out the window.

This is a meme. Make me proud. @Fat_Electrician

@STaranto92 2019 aswell. They handed him the championship at the end of the year. But he was a Major team player there for the 11, after J.D's passing. handing them the 500 on that final restart.

Kyle Busch will go down as arguably the greatest driver to have never won the Daytona 500. I have a special connection to that 2023 race, which was the closest he ever came to winning it. 2023 marked my first time reporting on location from the Daytona 500 as a member of the media. It also came three weeks after the passing of my Grandpa Taranto, who I was very close to. It was an emotional time for me on that front, and I had his prayer card up in the press box with me during the race and as things played out over the closing laps. I remember being up in my seat those final laps during the race between the RCR and RFK cars, thinking vividly that I was about to be a direct witness to something very special and one of those great moments in Daytona 500 history. It wasn't to be. (and that spin by the 99 didn't need to be a caution either. Come on.) I guess in retrospect it's of some comfort that Kyle was leading the Daytona 500 at Lap 200, but the record doesn't give him credit for that, nor others who have endured leading Lap 200 of the Daytona 500 but not winning the race. One year later during Media Day, I asked him about how frustrating that was when I put it in those terms. "Where does that rank on the pain scale?" "High." "Gotcha." "High, yeah. 'Cause I don't have the trophy or the ring, so it just means I coulda, shoulda, woulda if it was prior to 2005. So that sucks, but it is what it is. "I guess 2005, I knew the rules coming in anyways. That's when I first started in the Daytona 500 was 2005. It happens." The next year I went with a slightly different angle, asking if Daytona's repave in 2011 and the muting of variables like character in the track, handling, etc. had made the Daytona 500 a more difficult race to win. Kyle proceeded to give a very detailed and thorough answer about what it was like to race the old Daytona and drive through the bumps/beyond the limits of the tire, while also pointing out certain areas of the current Daytona that were becoming trouble spots. I listened to this back today as well as the followup I asked and I just love the exchange. It feels like I did my job asking Kyle informed questions and he obliged in giving informed answers.

@AlextheAdm1ral Practice speeds. Simply to abolish the ridiculous split practice groups

This is also why I'm not a fan of the metric. Once we get proper race weekends again I'd like to set by practice speed, but until then, lineup by points was a really good way to do things. I remember Clint Bowyer got trapped in 15-20th no mans land by the metric in 2020

@dennyhamlin @AlextheAdm1ral Totally understand the TV money helps everything run, archaic as it is. But what other major sport directly stops play, burn time off the clock, for ads to run?

@AlextheAdm1ral 4 hours of racing is too long. 4 hours of anything is too long. Stages are needed for TV.

Gtfo Denny. Want shorter races? Eliminate stages. Still not short enough? Buschwhack

@BBNDi9 Yup. Without the rain / rain from last weekend as well, should have only been a footnote. Not THE story This is where nascar media can be a bit too narrow minded & lazy at finding stories. Just another area of improvement after the removal of playoffs.

“There was basically nothing to complain about during the race, so let’s create something to complain about by conveniently ignoring the rain delay and focusing on when the race ended”

@AustinKonenski Definitely 1 too many questions marks lol

@RedneckJedi01 I don’t know if the podium presentation or Chase Elliott’s mysterious disqualification has me more baffled.

Hopefully we can bully them into a change because this is absurd. I don’t bet on any sports, but this feels like a blatant robbery to me…Unless someone in that world understands better, lol.

@ChampagneRacin Hamlin is incredibly lucky to have always been in upper tier equipment Granted he still has to perform. & help build/ hold their performance levels. Harvick to me could finish better than a car is worth. Hamlin by now could but overall at a smaller gap to the cars speed

WHO’S THE BETTER DRIVER?

@ChilledChaos Naw, brilliant as always

Also sorry for pulling a marvel at the end 😅

Thank you for being a part of my life for so long :) This weekend was something special <3
