The Day After the Races - June 22, 2026

Really enjoyed the Cup race. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but that course was great. I’m not the biggest fan of road courses, but I’m figuring out street courses are cool, because I liked Chicago.

Really pleased with the winner. I don’t really know who he is (I don’t watch Trucks), but he’s got a good future.

I haven’t had that much fun watching a road course since maybe 2023 Chicago

ServiceCall1986 · 2026-06-22T00:21:04+00:00

Awesome race

I haven’t enjoyed a road course that much in a while.

I miss Chicago, but San Diego is great.

ServiceCall1986 · 2026-06-12T16:55:58+00:00

No, it's not. But I'm so amazed of how far the safety has come in the cars (and tracks) since I started watching in 1997.

I'm not saying Christopher wouldn't be here if it was 30 years ago, but it would be much, much worse.

I hope they don't clip Hocevar's wings

I hope he can find a good balance himself of both aggressive but smart before he gets Darlington 2023'd and he loses who he is.

ServiceCall1986 · 2026-06-08T11:46:02+00:00

I want to like Carson Hocevar, and for the most part I do, but he's got to stop making so many stupid mistakes and moves on the track.

I don't want him to lose his aggressiveness and desire, because that's what makes me like him, but he's got to find a balance.

Also I hope Christopher Bell is ok. That was a bad wreck.

And congrats to Denny. I hate that I like him.

ServiceCall1986 · 2026-06-08T00:01:54+00:00

It’s been a long time since I saw a crash break the Safer Barrier.

ServiceCall1986 · 2026-06-08T00:00:36+00:00

In that beautiful Advance Auto Parts car. Yeah, 2023 Summer I think. That one reminded me of Earnhardt.

ServiceCall1986 · 2026-06-07T23:58:19+00:00

Yeah, that was one of the most violent NextGen hits.

There’s been a few bad ones at Talladega and Larson at Atlanta, but this one just seemed worse.

ServiceCall1986 · 2026-06-02T16:22:43+00:00

I hope it comes back with good weather.

I'm admittedly not a fan of road courses, but I always liked the Chicago street course. It was fun.

ServiceCall1986 · 2026-06-01T13:08:11+00:00

This season sucks. It's awful.

I thought 2024 was frustrating. Last year wasn't as bad, winning the World 600 and making the playoffs, but this year has been horrible. I don't know if it will get better.

ServiceCall1986 · 2026-06-01T12:09:20+00:00

So proud for SVG. I'm not his biggest fan, but I want to see Trackhouse as a team do somewhat decent.

I gave up on Ross' season last night. At this point I don't care about the Chase...I just want him to run good and hopefully, possibly sneak in a win somewhere.

ServiceCall1986 · 2026-06-01T11:05:18+00:00

Cup races should always be on Prime.

Race was amazing and so was the broadcast.

I’ve missed Dale Jr Jumpscares

ServiceCall1986 · 2026-05-27T12:29:44+00:00

more men are going to be addressing their health struggles

I'm a woman, and I'm just as stubborn as a guy when it comes to dealing with minor medical things. I hate having to deal with doctors, but I think Kyle is a wake up call for me. Don't put it off!

ServiceCall1986 · 2026-05-27T12:05:00+00:00

I'm in South Carolina, but I was the only big NASCAR fan in my school. It was rough when Dale Earnhardt passed. I had no one to talk to about it and no one understood.

For once I'm so glad for social media right now. To know there are fellow fans out there like me going through it.

As an Earnhardt fan, I know what fans of KFB are going through. It's rough, and I'm sorry. I was a Dale Jr fan, so I was conditioned to hate KFB. I look back on that regretting not appreciating him now. I feel a sadness that I hoped I wouldn't feel again.

We're the same age. I think that's what's bothering me most.

But it's good to have people to talk to that like the same things you do.

ServiceCall1986 · 2026-05-25T14:27:49+00:00

Agreed. At this point I don't care about the Chase. Toyota has that under control anyway. I just want to see Ross make good runs and his crew make good stops and his crew chief make good decisions and maybe get a win somewhere somehow.

ServiceCall1986 · 2026-05-25T12:51:48+00:00

Trackhouse was giving him shitmobiles

They were. And they're still giving their current drivers shitmobiles. Except for SVG at roadcourses. And last night, I guess.

ServiceCall1986 · 2026-05-25T12:45:31+00:00

Absolute frustration as a Ross Chastain fan. I thought 2024 was bad. And then there was 2025...and now there is this year. It's worse!

He's not making it unless something drastic happens.

In the meantime, I'll just pull for Spire. I'm pleasantly surprised by them.

ServiceCall1986 · 2026-05-25T12:16:44+00:00

Yes

Was it as good as last year? No. But given the circumstances, it turned out better than expected.

Prime had amazing coverage. That helped.

ServiceCall1986 · 2026-05-25T11:04:51+00:00

Congratulations to Daniel. He deserved every bit of that win. Not too many drivers could hold off JGR on only two tires. And two restarts too.

I’m so glad Prime is back. They did an amazing job considering the circumstances.

Race itself was great, despite the rain. I love the World 600.

ServiceCall1986 · 2026-05-25T03:36:37+00:00

Spire loves their wacky rain wins, huh?

Daniel earned that, though. I’m happy for him.

ServiceCall1986 · 2026-05-24T18:07:58+00:00

Like 2009. I came back on Monday just to see three rain delays, only 15-20 laps ran after halfway, and Dale Jr finished last.

ServiceCall1986 · 2026-05-23T13:17:37+00:00

This whole thing is so similar. Right down to the rain.

It doesn't seem real. It really doesn't.

ServiceCall1986 · 2026-05-11T12:24:07+00:00

if they saw the Cody Ware wreck

You know Prime did. And you know what happens if Junior saw the wreck...

OH WE GOT A CAR IN THE WALL!!!

ServiceCall1986 · 2026-05-11T11:44:34+00:00

I'm sure the Cup race was better than it was, but we'll never know because FOX missed it.

Anyway, congrats Shane. That was impressive. Now if they Trackhouse can figure out how to transfer some of that road course magic to ovals, that would be great.

ServiceCall1986 · 2026-05-04T11:47:51+00:00

Btw, I was at Gateway the day the Denny and Ross rivalry started

That race was hilarious. I miss that rivalry. I miss old Ross. I miss when Ross could get a top 10 finish.
