@ThattvGal97 @beyoncegarden Stop believing everything the media is telling you. The folks that do that, white or not, make up such a small percentage of the population, and you’d be hard pressed to even run into someone like that. Those kind of people won’t even be near these events anyway. You’re fine.

@beyoncegarden I always wanted to attend one, but I’m scared of alllll those white people. I like them but I must stay cautious around them 😭😭😭 I gotta find me a nice group of people

OH THEY ATE THAT SO BAD OMFG😭😭😭

@driver84and26 @BooCarlisle @KauligRacing @LandonHuffman @RamTrucks @Brentcrews Not when you have contracts in place and sponsors specific to those contracts. If it were a Toyota seat, it wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility. But you can’t jump from one manufacturer to the next when you’re signed on to race for them. That’s breach of contract.

@SCarson53 @BooCarlisle @KauligRacing @LandonHuffman @RamTrucks @Brentcrews Nah, everyone is on the table when there's money involved.

Hey @KauligRacing, here’s the replacement driver the #10 needs… @LandonHuffman

@driver84and26 @BooCarlisle @KauligRacing @LandonHuffman @RamTrucks @Brentcrews Crews is a Toyota driver. So that’s off the table.

@BooCarlisle @KauligRacing @LandonHuffman I'f i'm @ramtrucks @Brentcrews is my only call and I make it happen.

@CurtReimer1 @BooCarlisle @KauligRacing @LandonHuffman 3rd overall.

@BooCarlisle @KauligRacing @LandonHuffman How did he do in the test?

@12JimHenry @Wonderful_Chip The only short track series’ that run that much power are sprint cars. Late models and Modifieds, both asphalt and dirt, run right around 600 or lower depending on the rules restrictions.

NASCAR went from 550hp, to 550/750, to 670, to 670/750.. The trend here is obvious, so why just the incremental HP increases? Let these things rip and racing will be back to what it should be.

@tyfitz11 @jeff_gluck @CBellRacing @KellyCrandall 750hp engine package at all tracks under 1.5 miles, and all road courses. Up from the 670hp engine that has been run at all tracks beforehand. Bristol, Darlington, and Dover will no longer have the intermediate package.

@jeff_gluck @CBellRacing @KellyCrandall I thought it wasn’t increased HP at short tracks?

On the horsepower conversation, @CBellRacing responds to a question from @KellyCrandall by saying: "I can promise you if we're feeling it at Phoenix, just wait til we get to Martinsville and Richmond and on top of that, Darlington. ... I love where we're headed. I always think we could use more. Hopefully this is an indication we're turning the right knob. The sky's the limit. If we continue to add horsepower, we're gonna get right to where we need to be."

@PaulyWit @CouchRacerShop Handle better, no. More forgiving, yes.

@CouchRacerShop Wait, so you are saying that these cars handle better than the Cup cars? And are more forgiving to drive?

Best asphalt series in the world. What a save my Clements after the 1 got his left rear. We need these cars on Sunday.

@noemission @cgtwts You can test it for yourself. I rotate through all three constantly, and Google Maps comes out as the most convenient and consistent for me. I guess you can consider me elderly then at 30. I’d rather keep my eyes on the road at all times.

@SCarson53 @cgtwts This is frankly untrue lol and spoken directions are for the elderly I’d rather kms

Google Maps just set Apple Maps back another 5 years.

@CarnerEvan @noemission @cgtwts Yes, it does. Most of the alerts are shared now between Waze and Google Maps. There’s still some specific alerts for both, but the police alerts come across on both.

@SCarson53 @noemission @cgtwts Wait google gives cop alerts and whatnot now? I dont use the talking, I usually just look down at the map cuz I don’t like it when it interrupts my music, but I’d switch to google if they have this and the alerts now

@noemission @cgtwts Waze has been ass for a while now. Google Maps has the alerts integrated into it now, and much better spoken navigation directions IMO. Waze waits until the last possible second to give you a direction, and is terrible when it comes to quickly re-routing. No reason to use it now.

@cgtwts Yall are too fucking loose with superlatives Jesus Christ everyone uses Waze anyway

@Pigeongamer3 @jeff_gluck Homestead is still a better track and race than Phoenix usually. But this just shows that the upped horsepower and softer tires are having a positive impact on what is normally an uninteresting race.

@jeff_gluck We should never have taken the finale away from here 🤦‍♂️

Was Phoenix a good race? 85.1% of you said Yes. -- Best Phoenix race in six years. Ranks No. 3 of 21 Phoenix races in the poll (only 2020 spring race at 89.4% and 2017 fall race at 88% were higher). -- Best Next Gen race at Phoenix (out of nine). Notably, only one other Next Gen race at Phoenix has scored over 70% (last spring's crazy alternate tire race, 77.7%). -- Ranks No. 9 of 19 Ryan Blaney wins in the poll. Nine of his wins are over 85% and only five of his wins are below 70% (but he also won the worst race in poll history, the Texas All-Star Race at 11%).

@FreddieKraft I was genuinely impressed with Crews and the way he carried himself. Was a great episode to listen to.

Love to see replies like this one. I like to think DBC is show where the guests can come in and let their hair down, and have a little fun. And hopefully make some new fans along the way. Speaking of having fun, just wait till you see who’s coming next week.

@CKGould25 @ndegroot89 Take the tin foil hat off. It’s baking your brain.

@ndegroot89 Pretty hard to doubt when they just come off a court case with #NASCAR

Bell wins three races in a row in 2025 🦗 Larson wins three races in a row in 2021 🦗 Reddick wins first three races of 2026 😡 "IT'S A CONSPIRACY!!!" Why are some people like this? #NASCAR

@flpms @mtrantalainen @TowryPeyton You’re trying to compare a 3400lb stock car with minimal downforce and grip to a lightweight open wheel car with 4x the downforce and mechanical grip. They’re built for completely different types of racing. Of course one is going to be faster than the other.

@mtrantalainen @TowryPeyton I take the first time lap I found Knowing they use a short version, make me laugh more

F1 fans: “BUT THE TRACK LIMITS!” Meanwhile NASCAR:

@LetsGoCle @jeff_gluck @NASCAR @markmartin Regular season champ gets a 25 point head start over 2nd. It’s not like we’re wiping the slate clean and everybody is starting even.

@jeff_gluck This guy's apparently had the greatest start to a season in #NASCAR history but just remember all of this will be wiped out after race #26 and the lead he's EARNED is wiped away. This is why the @NASCAR Chase is still an awful format @markmartin.

According to the scoring monitor, Tyler Reddick has a 70-point lead over Bubba Wallace in the standings. Elliott -72 Blaney -86 SVG -96 Logano -96 Suarez -99 Allmendinger -100 McDowell -103 Hocevar -104 Buescher -105 Keselowski -108 Byron -110 Smith -111 Larson -113 Preece -118

@SinkingTitanic6 @jeff_gluck He was one of the standout road racers before SVG came in to the series. Now everyone else has another level they need to step up to.

@jeff_gluck Probably figuring if it blows it blows, Larsons not really a Road course master so his chances of a good day if he starts in the back are low. So risk is worth it…

The computer showed some abnormal readings related to Kyle Larson’s engine when it was fired up this morning. The team spoke to NASCAR about what data it could access. NASCAR’s rule is if they plug in, team goes to the rear. Ultimately the team decided not to do that. They are heading to the grid and will start the race.

@GrnWhtChckrd @STaranto92 Difference is Hocevar has the talent and speed to be a front-runner in Cup. Day is nowhere near that yet in the O’Reilly series.

@STaranto92 Hocevar does the same thing in Cup and everyone thinks he’s bringing new energy to the sport. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Connor Zilisch just got sent around and has a lot of damage. Not happy at all with Corey Day on his radio "Fucking Corey Day is a HACK. Absolute hack."

@MurphMan919 @Canes @LenovoCenter Those seats are likely bought by STM’s that either couldn’t make it to the game, and/or couldn’t sell them third party. Attendance figures only count amount of tickets sold, and not actual attendance through the doors.

@Canes @LenovoCenter Quite a bit during play from the looks of it from the 300. Should allow us to come down after the the first period.

This is why the @LenovoCenter is called the Loudest House 👏

@BAKER_XC_RACING @jeff_gluck The rule is after they cross the restart line, they can change lanes. It’s no longer the S/F line.

@jeff_gluck How many people changed lanes before the line? Green should have been held and retry it again. Now everyone has lost their mind

Hahahaha SVG from P6 to P1??? Are you serious!?

@JasonAAversano @hugee_caniac94 @jeff_gluck Bullshit. Love some road course racing. Especially when there’s battles going on through the field.

@hugee_caniac94 @jeff_gluck Race will be like taking a nap (we all will be)

The red hot Tyler Reddick wins the NASCAR Cup Series pole at COTA again -- it's his third in six attempts here (second year in a row). Ross Chastain outside front row. SVG: P13 Zilisch: P25
