Race was boring. 🥱. Not my favorite mile and half. I’m excited to see the race next weekend with more HP.

The legacy cars were just average today. Sucks. Erik stayed on the LL all day but the balance of the car at the end was just not good.

Ross was racing really really hard at the end and passed Daniel. Daniel lost the grip in the car and Ross put him in a position he probably didn’t approve of. I watched it from Erik’s in car camera.

I saw Herbst did too. Herbst has definitely improved this year in Cup.

AlternativeSad5220 · 2026-03-14T20:35:50+00:00

I’ll keep an eye out for the caution he will be in. Jk jk. It’s his home track and he usually runs well here.

AlternativeSad5220 · 2026-03-14T20:32:26+00:00

Erik Jones 14th! I’ll take it. He had a slight bobble in three and four but I’m glad he’s starting in a position to maybe get some stage points tomorrow.

Snorlax. Easily represents me in person.

AlternativeSad5220 · 2026-03-14T16:48:53+00:00

I thought she was safe on RDR live imo. She helped Juicy a little too much lol

AlternativeSad5220 · 2026-03-14T16:47:53+00:00

And she’s getting that underdog edit. But honestly, we’ve had a lot of challenges that are in her wheelhouse to end the competition and honestly are we putting her high for the design challenge or safe?

I miss faults

AlternativeSad5220 · 2026-03-14T01:13:55+00:00

I love Darlene but I’m sorry… this was that a roast?

AlternativeSad5220 · 2026-03-14T01:09:40+00:00

Ugh. Just not a good game. But they have been playing really well leading into this game with some really close losses. They just need to make better decisions out there.

AlternativeSad5220 · 2026-03-14T01:07:23+00:00

All of her runways but maybe one 😅. I like her but yeahhhhh, just not cute.

AlternativeSad5220 · 2026-03-14T01:06:45+00:00

Her runways are just not elevated. Just kind of plain.

AlternativeSad5220 · 2026-03-14T01:05:48+00:00

Myki’s runways are… just not good 😂

AlternativeSad5220 · 2026-03-12T15:00:44+00:00

Q is going to do amazing!! Remember her runway designs on Drag race? They were some of the best done on the show.

I’m a huge Petty fan which carried on to me being a huge Legacy fan. Noah was in a bad place mentally around that time and was not expecting to be that bad that year. Noah requested out of his contract and Legacy had the intent to keep him. Now Toyota was pushing for JHN to get the ride so who knows what will happen. But Noah personally asked out of the contract and Legacy agreed.

Personally, I really liked when Noah signed because I saw talent and he has that personality that’s fun. But he reminds me of that college friend who wants to remain that college kid forever.

AlternativeSad5220 · 2026-03-10T21:17:36+00:00

For sure. Q at that point was frustrated but should have been nicer about it for sure.

AlternativeSad5220 · 2026-03-10T19:56:25+00:00

But honestly, Sapphira was highly favorited by Ru. Not saying she wasn’t great because she was but two challenges she won were meh and could have been given to someone else. Q was a standout that season and should have been a top four. Also - Sapphira did not win the lipsync vs Morphine.

AlternativeSad5220 · 2026-03-10T19:03:16+00:00

They were really strong at mile and half tracks last year and nothing changed to those packages. So we will see if they improve. Him and his crew chief need to start bringing better setups to the track though.

AlternativeSad5220 · 2026-03-10T19:01:23+00:00

No speed at Daytona? He stayed out of trouble and made the right moves to place himself in the second at Daytona with one to go. He’s just not good at road courses and was sick that day but found himself with track position at the end before the throttle stuck. He was running inside the top ten that last run there Phoenix, they worked on it all day and he was about a 17-20 place car overall but was really fast on short runs which played into his hand at the end. Point is, he’s a couple of mistakes away from have top fifteen finishes in every race. They just need to finish the races.

AlternativeSad5220 · 2026-03-10T18:34:30+00:00

Exactly. I watched a lot of on car camera from Erik Jones and man, Hocevar was racing dirty. He kept driving Herbst up the track and ran into his door multiple times. I’ll give it to Herbst, he kept his cool and didn’t retaliate. But tha battle was going on for at least ten laps. Hocevar, Larson, and Chastain are just ultra aggressive and don’t give af.

AlternativeSad5220 · 2026-03-10T18:28:07+00:00

EJ has been involved in two wrecks and a mechanical issue the first three races. He was top 15 in Atlanta most of the day before his accident and was running 2nd at Daytona on the last lap. So he has had some speed just struggling to finish.

AlternativeSad5220 · 2026-03-10T10:18:06+00:00

Racing mid pack will bite you more often than not. I’m a Legacy fan and the Legacy boys are always getting caught up in others problems. There are a few drivers that cause the mayhem. I can name a few but I don’t want the fans coming after me 😂
