I would be remiss if I didn't mention that Saturday was my grandparents' wedding anniversary. Grandma Taranto also enjoyed Ginger Ale. Each time I visit now I drink one and leave the bottle.
My family has been my rock this weekend. This is always a big time of year for us because there's so many family anniversaries and milestones around Memorial Day. Representing them is one of the responsibilities I have felt deeply.

Was telling RJ this story yesterday: My Grandpa Taranto would've been 101 on Monday. He was a big Ginger Ale drinker. Just kind of enjoyed it. I honor Grandpa by drinking a Ginger Ale each year on his birthday (5/25) and the anniversary of his passing (1/29) Given that, it's fun for me to see a Ginger Ale car out there.

@IsraelGerman From what I remember learning Spanish I think stuff like that is interchangeable and you can drop things like "el", "la", "los", "las", etc.
I realize I do not know the most about it but I know about the festivities and I also know that Mexico is a very Catholic country.
English
@STaranto92 Hey Steven, the right way we call the festivity here in Mexico is "Día de Muertos", just like that. Thank you for bringing that up at the post-race press conference.

Something that makes Daniel Suarez a fitting winner to the first race after Kyle Busch's passing: In Mexican culture, there is great reverence for the deceased. They are very family-oriented people, and Suarez gets to have his family with him each Coke 600 week.
"Kyle, he wasn't my family. But he was someone that gave me a hand when I needed it most. And it wasn't just a hand. It was a hand of a legend, it was a hand of somebody with so much experience. So for that I will be forever grateful. Forever grateful.
"Kyle was one of the few drivers out there that I never had an issue with. We always got along amazing. One time he got in trouble in Cancun, he called me, Samantha called me. I mean, some of you guys know what happened there. And then after the race in Mexico City, we partied together, he came to my party.
"I just love the guy. He was an amazing person. And for me, one of my goals this weekend is for people to understand these stories of him. Because a lot of people didn't know who he was as a person. Many people, fans, they knew him as a racing driver.
"But the person, the person that is behind the firesuit, behind that helmet - that's what counts the most. That family man. Every time that you talk to Kyle about Brexton, his eyes light up. He was a family man. And because of that, this race is so special. All the combination of these things.
"And I want to make sure that the focus and the most important thing about this victory is not Spire Motorsports, it's not Daniel Suarez - it's Kyle Busch. Because he was a very, very important piece for me to be here and for Spire Motorsports to be where it is right now."

@SteelHorseLive I know. I just figured I'd tack something on since apparently I have to spell it out for some people.

@STaranto92 You did nothing wrong. Some people just have no friends in real life and spend way too much time being mad at the world on Twitter

Memorial Day in Concord, North Carolina. It is now quiet in the area leading up to Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Along the side of Bruton Smith Blvd, Kyle Busch is honored on the sign outside of Sonny's BBQ.

@theherosinger Thank you. I appreciate what you and others have said about my work this weekend but it has been the furthest thing from easy.
English
@STaranto92 Man, this got me. Just beautiful.
I have really appreciated your coverage this weekend. Thank you so much.

"He will wipe away every tear from their eyes,
and death shall be no more,
neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore,
for the former things have passed away.”

Managed to grab this on video from driver intros yesterday.
Daniel Suarez pointing to his Kyle Busch hat and then pointing to the heavens. Just like he did after winning the Coke 600.
English
Of all the wonderful things that happened after the finish yesterday, the whole Media Center bursting into a knowing laughter when Daniel Suarez remembered getting a call about Kyle Busch's *ahem* mishap in Cancun is going to be a favorite of mine.

34-9-7=18 All of the winning numbers from Charlotte weekend.
How precious is that?
“God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, Though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.”
Psalm 46:1-3
All Glory to God.

Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together. In Jesus Christ, this humanity in its grandeur becomes the Way, the Truth and the Life, opening the path for each of us to grow toward fullness. #MagnificaHumanitas

One of the more striking scenes I captured yesterday: A NASCAR official rendering a hand salute during the Lap 8 tribute to Kyle Busch

Bubba Wallace was also one of the drivers who came over to congratulate and share a hug with Daniel Suarez

The race is over. Daniel Suarez wins the Coca-Cola 600 and the celebration begins Suarez and team extremely emotional. Kyle Larson and Michael McDowell come to congratulate him

Shane van Gisbergen just misses out on a Top 10, finishing 11th in the Coke 600. Maybe the most complete race he's had on an oval.
SVG also had a Top 15 in last year's 600, finishing 14th. Seems like he has a real handle on racing at Charlotte

Daniel Suarez climbs out in Victory Lane. A little gaffe as his Kyle Busch hat actually fell off his first attempt to climb out
Should also be noted that Suarez has now moved to 10th in the Cup points standings.

There is a Kyle Busch Motorsports decal on Daniel Suarez's car. The Spire Motorsports race shop is the old KBM shop. Another trophy is going to the place that Kyle brought so many of them to.
