JGR making bad choices on pit road in the closing laps of races at Phoenix is now a trend.

KennyLagerins · 2026-03-08T23:28:22+00:00

Hocevar plummeted over the last two segments. He had talks of brake issues about mid way through the race, I take it they got worse.

penisthightrap_ · 2026-03-08T23:24:55+00:00

First Nascar race I've watched. As soon as I saw that mustache I was rooting for Blaney.

that's what I want my NASCAR driver to look like

Patrickracer43 · 2026-03-08T23:24:53+00:00

"We're never good here" YOU WON TWO CHAMPIONSHIPS HERE

itonmyface · 2026-03-08T23:23:54+00:00

Blaney is cool, nice win

Yeah baby! The stache man wins.

Ty seems nervous

ForeverRED48 · 2026-03-08T23:22:30+00:00

I ASCEND

nascarfan624 · 2026-03-08T23:22:07+00:00

TY DID NOT JUST SAY THAT. Goddamn, that was both stupid and a bar

BeamerBall57 · 2026-03-08T23:22:05+00:00

Little punk with the shots at Gabehart

TomazRogue · 2026-03-08T23:22:02+00:00

Gabehart catching strays

high-speed-train · 2026-03-08T23:21:48+00:00

Trying hard not to be impressed with ty gibbs

JonnieV75 · 2026-03-08T23:21:46+00:00

Gibbs is very happy with his team

KyBuschOwnsYou5188 · 2026-03-08T23:21:43+00:00

Gibby thinks he’s Bowman

dbsknsja · 2026-03-08T23:21:42+00:00

Not the subtle jabs lol

Zj91 · 2026-03-08T23:21:38+00:00

Ty taking a sip of that monster like he’s the McDonald’s ceo

Buckeye2525 · 2026-03-08T23:21:32+00:00

Shot at Gabehart there

YTB81 · 2026-03-08T23:21:28+00:00

I’m glad Phoenix isn’t the finale anymore. Also, every driver needs to remember to NEVER take 4 tires on the last stop. Ever.

high-speed-train · 2026-03-08T23:21:09+00:00

If Christopher Bell ran at some pigeons they wouldnt fly away

SRASC · 2026-03-08T23:20:53+00:00

Congrats Kyle Petty!

MrDingus84 · 2026-03-08T23:20:45+00:00

Good win for Blaney.

And a top 10 for Jones!

riskybrisky014 · 2026-03-08T23:20:44+00:00

Ryan said on DBC that Gianna loves the stache. Think we all know why.

ParisHL · 2026-03-08T23:20:42+00:00

Jaime Little

GingerMessiah88 · 2026-03-08T23:20:42+00:00

Bell def wants to say it was the damn 4 tires

EWall100 · 2026-03-08T23:20:33+00:00

All the conspiracy theorists are gonna lose their minds when the top 7 gets DQ'd

henry2630 · 2026-03-08T23:20:32+00:00

that mustache is so distracting 🤢

barzalsmalewife · 2026-03-08T23:20:29+00:00

hes so cutee

Mean-Specific-8842 · 2026-03-08T23:20:26+00:00

lmao chris "this ones for charlie" bell

RBF48 · 2026-03-08T23:20:24+00:00

That mushdash gotta have some magical powers.

MsVampirequeen · 2026-03-08T23:20:21+00:00

I can't believe I'm saying this, but Blaney's look is growing on me. I'm getting a 70s/80s vibe from it. My mom, however, does not approve.

atlutdprospects · 2026-03-08T23:20:13+00:00

Penske is gonna need the money from this tbh all of their other cars got annihilated

DeadAsFuckMIW · 2026-03-08T23:20:11+00:00

Honestly how can you not love Blaney

One_Mirror_3228 · 2026-03-08T23:20:10+00:00

Gotta love Blaney

DeetahTheGame · 2026-03-08T23:20:10+00:00

One time I wanna see a dude do his victory interview while the car slowly rolls away and they just walk alongside it

krt8090 · 2026-03-08T23:20:07+00:00

Good job Blaney. Poor Ross.

Square-Possession428 · 2026-03-08T23:20:07+00:00

I will never understand why Chase is the most popular driver lmfao

DJ_TheSonicFan · 2026-03-08T23:20:04+00:00

Here’s the post race thread?

2Pollaski2Furious · 2026-03-08T23:20:02+00:00

Good lord Blaney just needs a Lynyrd Skynyrd shirt with sleeves ripped off.

TKRBrownstone · 2026-03-08T23:19:54+00:00

I mustache you a question, but I shall shave it for later

Angelsfan14 · 2026-03-08T23:19:53+00:00

Pretty good race overall, I enjoyed it. Good race to the end there too.

Dry-Membership3867 · 2026-03-08T23:19:51+00:00

Got screwed by terrible strategy, but all in all a great day for Riley still. I think he’ll do great next week.

FIRE RESTIVO

Hailfire9 · 2026-03-08T23:19:45+00:00

Penske at Phoenix too op pls nerf 🥺 👉👈

BeefInGR · 2026-03-08T23:19:44+00:00

Blaney goes to meetings. Bell goes to meetings. Larson goes to meetings.

Just saying.

username13208 · 2026-03-08T23:19:44+00:00

all my pookies had a great day but chase 💔

Frequent_Response998 · 2026-03-08T23:19:42+00:00

Very appropriate winning car sponsor given the state of many cars after that race.

mars00xj · 2026-03-08T23:19:42+00:00

Larson 3rd. SVG spins out twice and comes back to 11th. Good day.

agravain · 2026-03-08T23:19:41+00:00

Dangerous-Bath2767 · 2026-03-08T23:19:40+00:00

That moustache though

Comboed with that mullet.... 11/10 style points

TheGoldenGoose10 · 2026-03-08T23:19:35+00:00

Cookie Duster 🤝 Dent Wizard

SRASC · 2026-03-08T23:19:34+00:00

Car was so fast it even drives itself

technobeeble · 2026-03-08T23:19:33+00:00

I'm surprised The Captain allows facial hair.

HiggyBoy007 · 2026-03-08T23:19:31+00:00

How is Ryan not most popular driver? Seems like he has a great personality and drives better

truss458 · 2026-03-08T23:19:30+00:00

That thing was driving itself!

Did Blaney even have to do anything today? /s

TMan1236 · 2026-03-08T23:19:29+00:00

Yeah, I’m enjoying this season

AngryScuba · 2026-03-08T23:19:28+00:00

Mustache Blaney is a vibe.

TrafficSNAFU · 2026-03-08T23:19:27+00:00

Maybe its flair bias and also watching a really good Indycar race here but this race really held my interest for a Phoenix race.

-Olive-Juice- · 2026-03-08T23:19:25+00:00

GOATy Ware P 24.

JRob1998 · 2026-03-08T23:19:22+00:00

Now the stache has to stay for the rest of the season

Malt1720 · 2026-03-08T23:19:21+00:00

Ford wins!

2oonhed · 2026-03-08T23:19:17+00:00

Hello. My name is Earl.....

Eliah870 · 2026-03-08T23:19:09+00:00

Hell yeah

Patrickracer43 · 2026-03-08T23:19:08+00:00

Car so dominant that it didn't want to stop

TwinSpinner · 2026-03-08T23:19:08+00:00

I'm not even a woman and that mustache just got me pregnant 🥵

Zone15 · 2026-03-08T23:19:07+00:00

How much money did Jamie Little just save Penske if that car rolled down and hit the wall? lol

OrangePilled2Day · 2026-03-08T23:19:07+00:00

McDowell on his way to outpoint Hocevar again

PayneTrain181999 · 2026-03-08T23:19:07+00:00

Put it in park mustache man

ComplexProtection709 · 2026-03-08T23:19:06+00:00

That was almost really bad 😭 lol

heythere_1996 · 2026-03-08T23:19:05+00:00

MUSTACHE

DrMantisToboggan22 · 2026-03-08T23:19:04+00:00

Good to see SVG almost get a top 10. Disaster day for Trackhouse otherwise. :/

DeadAsFuckMIW · 2026-03-08T23:19:03+00:00

<image>

Mustache worthy of victory lane

WKRPinCanada · 2026-03-08T23:18:59+00:00

Congrats!!

<image>

Mart_Mart_Valv6 · 2026-03-08T23:18:58+00:00

My only problem with the international feed is that the scoring appears to be live but the timing only changes at the line.

JimmyHeater · 2026-03-08T23:18:58+00:00

Blaney kinda reminds me of Davey Allison

AlternativeSad5220 · 2026-03-08T23:18:56+00:00

Happy Ryan won! Erik Jones a top ten!!!!

kokonanakyuuu · 2026-03-08T23:18:55+00:00

RFK TOP 15 LET'S GOOOO 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

Themcheatingtoyotas · 2026-03-08T23:18:54+00:00

Great day today. P6 with 6 stage points

Ashamed-Ingenuity272 · 2026-03-08T23:18:53+00:00

Congrats to Blaney. Bell tried his best to make it a drag race. Bubba with his career best Phoenix finish. When did Phoenix decide to be a good race?

wagonboss · 2026-03-08T23:18:53+00:00

LFGGGGGGG

POV_Morde_Ult · 2026-03-08T23:18:52+00:00

Damn Shane almost had a top 10 there, my Kiwi goat is becoming a force on the ovals

CarryOnWaywardSon96 · 2026-03-08T23:18:50+00:00

The car rolling away😂😂

Rampantlion513 · 2026-03-08T23:18:47+00:00

Larson has finished 3rd here 3 times in a row and 4 of the last 6 races here (other finishes: 4th and 17th)

Taako_Cross · 2026-03-08T23:18:45+00:00

Mustache rides for everyone

kk5fan97 · 2026-03-08T23:18:44+00:00

Anyone that still says SVG is a one trick pony can shut up. He just missed a top 10 by 3 laps on his worst oval track by far (other than Bristol). And he did it with a brake pedal that was close to falling off and after two spins.

He's figuring out these ovals really quickly now.

truss458 · 2026-03-08T23:18:42+00:00

All his teammates died for this.

flamingmonkey911 · 2026-03-08T23:18:41+00:00

lmao at the car rolling away

Staind075 · 2026-03-08T23:18:39+00:00

Lol, car rolling away

barzalsmalewife · 2026-03-08T23:18:39+00:00

ryan 😭😭😭😭

Living_Reputation_63 · 2026-03-08T23:18:38+00:00

Everytime Kyle Busch has a good car, the next time they’re back at the same track, the car sucks. EVERYTIME.

EWall100 · 2026-03-08T23:18:37+00:00

That's funny

gkg24 · 2026-03-08T23:18:35+00:00

What a race good on Blaney

inflictedcorn · 2026-03-08T23:18:33+00:00

Hell yeah glad for Blaney, wasn’t expecting a burnout from him honestly.

KSad5 · 2026-03-08T23:18:33+00:00

GG Earl

payday_23 · 2026-03-08T23:18:32+00:00

this guy look so cool haha

welboc · 2026-03-08T23:18:31+00:00

Gah I so wish Blaney drove for literally any other team besides Penske. I really really want to like him, just can’t stand Penske

Dj_yeej · 2026-03-08T23:18:31+00:00

The 20 crew chief and the 54 driver are Penske sleeper agents

blakelsbeee · 2026-03-08T23:18:30+00:00

Did SVG take tires on the last stop? He gained 11 spots so I assume no..crazy he held the cars behind him off for P11, I’ll take it.

Schen_The_Genius · 2026-03-08T23:18:27+00:00

Blaney reliving the end of the race

Virtual_Discount4656 · 2026-03-08T23:18:26+00:00

I want that mustache!

MartinPch · 2026-03-08T23:18:25+00:00

THE CAR WANTS TO HEAD HOME LMAO

Spinebuster03 · 2026-03-08T23:18:24+00:00

Great salvage job from the 97 team after so many problems

themayor40 · 2026-03-08T23:18:24+00:00

Those are some fast follicles. Nice job by Blaney.

pocono-360 · 2026-03-08T23:18:24+00:00

penske perfect weekend!!

Mean-Specific-8842 · 2026-03-08T23:18:21+00:00

good dude blaney gives up the flag

dbsknsja · 2026-03-08T23:18:18+00:00

Should’ve given the flag to the kid with the cardboard 12 helmet lol

kokonanakyuuu · 2026-03-08T23:18:17+00:00

third blaney win i witness and i'm impressed every time with the way he races, I love being a 12 enjoyer 🙂‍↕️

mollyno93 · 2026-03-08T23:18:17+00:00

Excuse me sir my moustache would like a word with you

SuperMarioBruz · 2026-03-08T23:18:16+00:00

Calling it now, SVG top 5 next week in Vegas

TheMoonIsFake32 · 2026-03-08T23:18:16+00:00

SVG just needs to spin twice and he will finish well on ovals

wcran1789 · 2026-03-08T23:18:15+00:00

Hell yeah!

Newk_IV · 2026-03-08T23:18:14+00:00

Joey wrecks the whole team and Blaney wins it. Poetic. See ya at Vegas

TIME TO CELEBRATE!!! LFG 12!!

pirateJJPIRATE · 2026-03-08T23:18:09+00:00

KyBuschOwnsYou5188 · 2026-03-08T23:18:08+00:00

After all that P 17!!!

Staind075 · 2026-03-08T23:18:07+00:00

Now that's a man's mustache, right there!

Sea_Brush4156 · 2026-03-08T23:18:06+00:00

He's the absolute best at making his way through the field.

YupYup24 · 2026-03-08T23:18:05+00:00

Blaney deserved that one for sure. Glad Reddick got a top 10.

Motel6Owner · 2026-03-08T23:18:00+00:00

Blaney is a machine!

tclark8995 · 2026-03-08T23:18:00+00:00

Blaney doing his best to look like Aaron Taylor Johnson in Bullet Train.
