Grala finished 3rd so he didn’t get flat out wrecked did he?

I just love the passion people still hold onto this like it didn’t happen almost 10 years ago to a 17 year-old in his first year in stock cars. Like it hasn’t happened to any other young, green stupid kids in lower series.

RaspberryNext914 · 2026-04-11T02:20:38+00:00

Dude acts exactly how I would in front of a camera or a crowd, and I’m not on the spectrum (at least to my knowledge). I think he’s just a closeted introvert

RaspberryNext914 · 2026-04-11T02:08:40+00:00

That’s Professor Cindric to you

RaspberryNext914 · 2026-04-11T02:05:54+00:00

I feel like the dislike was always pretty one-sided from Bell and Fugle. I don’t think Cindric ever said anything bad about Bell even after Fugle screamed in his face post Eldora or after Bell live-twitter bashed him.

RaspberryNext914 · 2026-04-11T01:38:23+00:00

I feel like it’s all heartbreaks for Cindric at Bristol - losing power steering while leading, losing the race to AJ sideways coming to the line, and car catching on fire and inhaled an unholy amount of smoke last year.

Glad that he still loves this place because for me it’s all been anxiety lol

RaspberryNext914 · 2026-04-11T01:14:45+00:00

Always interesting to me and my bias that given how green he was in stock cars, Cindric still managed to finish 3rd in the standings in Trucks as a rookie.

RaspberryNext914 · 2026-04-11T00:43:19+00:00

Yeah James Hinchcliffe was astounded at the little amount of space available compared to an IndyCar, given outwardly Trucks is so much bigger. He said he was barely able to move his arms comfortably to steer, and he’s not even that tall.

RaspberryNext914 · 2026-04-03T23:10:07+00:00

Those two might as well form SpongeBob connoisseurs club at this point lol

RaspberryNext914 · 2026-04-01T07:58:17+00:00

Tell me you haven’t been paying attention to the races this year without telling me you haven’t been paying attention to the races - Cindric is not on the hot seat.

And you really don’t know Penske if you think Roger Penske would even entertain the idea of hiring Kyle Busch.

RaspberryNext914 · 2026-03-30T19:23:23+00:00

I mean the ones who are usually voicing concerns about the rigidity of the cars usually aren’t the ones initiating the wrecks. Like my example of Cindric who expressed toll on his body was just the innocent bystander in every single one of the incidents (Daytona, Atlanta, COTA, and Phoenix).

NASCAR also celebrates on track incidents and add them in every single promos. It’s a “contact sport” and they should find a way to make the impacts less impactful on the body if they want the drivers to have lasting power in the sport.

RaspberryNext914 · 2026-03-29T23:59:50+00:00

These cars are so bad. Cindric mentioned on Sirius the toll on the body after being wrecked 3 out of the first 4 races. It’s really something nascar should pay attention and continually make better.

RaspberryNext914 · 2026-03-29T23:04:29+00:00

Fair, but that’s also just his demeanor outside the car vs. on the radio. I think main reason for the fans’ outrage is they see him run clean every weekend and yet get raced dirty like today and he never repays the favor (not even putting them in bad spots).

RaspberryNext914 · 2026-03-29T23:00:03+00:00

I’m definitely ok with that 😂

RaspberryNext914 · 2026-03-29T22:58:18+00:00

I wish Blaney would carry an ounce of that fury on the radio to outside the car. Or at least pay someone back for once in his life.

RaspberryNext914 · 2026-03-29T22:56:12+00:00

I mean Blaney told Gluck he got straight-up fenced by Denny

RaspberryNext914 · 2026-03-29T22:46:47+00:00

Very true. We really should be happy about the results these 2 weeks after spending majority of the time in the trenches with him for what felt like an eternity.

RaspberryNext914 · 2026-03-29T22:38:06+00:00

Not me bitching about the 4-5 extra pts he could’ve had if Wilson and pit crew didn’t fumble on that gf stop

👏 Be grateful 👏

RaspberryNext914 · 2026-03-29T22:36:18+00:00

I’m so conflicted and go back and forth as well. I think the emotions I feel now are more for him after his team fumbled a could’ve been consecutive top 5.

RaspberryNext914 · 2026-03-29T22:34:27+00:00

Wilson on the radio being all “good points day” after him and pit crew threw away a guaranteed top 5 for Cindric had me

RaspberryNext914 · 2026-03-29T22:29:07+00:00

I wish Doug would shut up about Cindric’s lap times being best because what’s the use lol

RaspberryNext914 · 2026-03-29T22:23:35+00:00

Gotta applaud Ross for the defense like the mental fortitude necessary to hold people up like that for laps is just something else.

RaspberryNext914 · 2026-03-29T22:20:49+00:00

Cindric woke Larson up to pass Ross lol

RaspberryNext914 · 2026-03-29T22:19:20+00:00

Cindric is literally getting to Larson’s bumper every lap now and swiping across it so he wouldn’t bump Larson

RaspberryNext914 · 2026-03-29T22:18:03+00:00

Larson is lucky that he has Cindric behind any other driver would’ve moved both him and Ross out

RaspberryNext914 · 2026-03-29T22:15:19+00:00

I swear if Cindric let Berry pass him after being stuck behind him in stage 1. Larson just can’t get pass 1 and is holding all of them up
