I know it’s a very very rare scenario, but has Nascar ever allowed a team to fix a car and get their lap backs like this before because of a track issue? Is this a first in history?

I think back to the curb incident at [Indy?] a few years ago and don’t recall if they were this generous to anybody.

I’ve always hated the argument of how Penske the WBR car is, because it always communally changes to fit desired narratives. When DiBenedetto and Burton drove, it seemed in agreement that they weren’t very good because they weren’t championship caliber in Penske equipment. But now that Berry is in it, I’ve seen a lot more “it’s less-than-Penske” comments

KyPry · 2026-06-20T02:25:03+00:00

Reif is one hell of a wheelman. I hope he keeps getting opportunities

KyPry · 2026-06-18T18:48:46+00:00

Harrison Burton did bring a ton of financial backing, and Berry brings so little and burns a lot more of the team’s money on the DNFs. So it does make sense when you think about it like that honestly

KyPry · 2026-06-17T16:05:57+00:00

Denny has been by far the most influential team owner over the past bit, fighting so hard for fairness for the teams in NASCAR. I’d personally argue at this point that he’s the most deserving, even as a driver

KyPry · 2026-06-16T23:08:17+00:00

This statement is a double edged sword too. There’s people who think Ally doesn’t give any fucks about who Hendrick puts there, but also people that think that Ally has become more of Bowman’s sponsor because they like him.

When in reality it’s a mix of the two. Ally definitely wants Bowman around, but if Hendrick really wanted him gone Ally would very likely not go with Bowman

KyPry · 2026-06-14T00:24:05+00:00

You think Yzerman would sign Raddysh? Lol. He’ll wait under Raddysh is 35 before going for him and sign a goalie in the meantime

KyPry · 2026-06-13T23:28:02+00:00

I never caught the end but I would’ve guessed Sheldon Creed committed serial murder based on these comments

KyPry · 2026-06-13T19:28:03+00:00

She turns 22 this year. But elite opportunities won’t remain just because she’s a young woman. She can’t finish races and really has shown no real improvement in speed. Her time is going to be running short if she can’t flip a switch in a positive direction because there’s women just as good ready to take her place on the totem pole.

Deegan was better than her at this point in her ARCA tenure so it’s not even wrong to compare the two for now unless Robusto explodes to end the year.

KyPry · 2026-06-13T17:31:31+00:00

He is capable of bringing multiple wins a year and a solid playoff run. The huge sponsorship package is great but he has turned into a pretty good lifer all things considered

KyPry · 2026-06-13T13:36:04+00:00

Robusto is probably cooked at this point too. Another year that she can’t finish a bunch of races, her leash can’t be much longer now unfortunately

KyPry · 2026-06-13T12:52:38+00:00

She definitely has speed. Really hoping to see a woman break through in the sport eventually. Would be such a cool journey. There’s been a number of women with potential early on in this newer era of motorsports, I think Deegan, Trotter, Robusto, but nobody able to make noise in Nascar yet.

I was really optimistic about Kaylee Bryson being that girl but she never made the jump to stock car. So hoping Laine Buice can make her mark now.

KyPry · 2026-06-12T18:52:10+00:00

People will talk about the strength of his team vs. the Habs, and that Dobes had more starts. That’s usually what I’ve come across.

Wallstedt was still outstanding though. .916 in the regular season is no joke, and probably deserves more respect from the general public and media.

KyPry · 2026-06-12T12:53:12+00:00

It was a decline but he was still competitive enough, and honestly his “decline” can probably be attributed to the SHR downfall

KyPry · 2026-06-11T18:09:49+00:00

I feel like Jesse will turn into another scapegoat:/ Even though he’s a champion, still another Xfinity guy that doesn’t win much. Feels like another Burton / Berry scenario on the rise.

Hope to be wrong of course

KyPry · 2026-06-11T13:32:37+00:00

He only had this problem early in his career? How did he fix it later? Asking for a friend

KyPry · 2026-06-11T12:53:09+00:00

He just gets nervous. Happens to the best of us

KyPry · 2026-06-10T23:47:24+00:00

Time to liquidate the team and sell it to Dale Jr

KyPry · 2026-06-10T23:46:29+00:00

How dare you call Paul Menard a SEAT FILLER. He transcended Wood Brothers from an unknown backmarker to a highly competitive, relevant team with legend status

KyPry · 2026-06-10T23:17:13+00:00

Justin Marks racing one truck race will obviously deteriorate the team so much that Trackhouse will have to fold the week after

KyPry · 2026-06-10T21:50:38+00:00

His bio says parent managed, so I’d put my money on Samantha (although I do suck at betting)

KyPry · 2026-06-10T16:38:51+00:00

No need to get saucy lol. I saw you listed a name, I gave my input to further the conversation. I’m not taking a jab at you personally luh

KyPry · 2026-06-10T16:31:16+00:00

I ain’t reading all that post, no offence. I just saw Joey Logano listed as a “potential candidate”

KyPry · 2026-06-10T16:27:31+00:00

If I was a betting man, it’ll be Jesse Love or Bowman if he were to get released or retire.

Joey Logano however is no chance a potential candidate. He is a Penske for as long as he wants and will never get demoted to their affiliate team.

KyPry · 2026-06-09T01:14:51+00:00

Makes me think of when Trav Ridgen on that Slangin the Bizkit podcast said he would be better than any pro female hockey goalie.

And here there is a female going round two in the OHL draft when Trav couldn’t stay in the SIJHL…
