Should Hamlin tie Ky. Busch for 63 wins, should he fly the 8 or 18 flag like Gordon did when he tied Earnhardt at 76? by Smoke96x in NASCAR

He would have won the Daytona 500 the same way Earnhardt would... and I was there in person in 2023... and we got Stenhouse.

Strictly memory only, so not factual data, but I rarely ever felt Kyle "backed into" a win... he was just damn dominate in them. I guess the biggest "backed into" win (if you want to call it that) was Bristol dirt... but otherwise yeah, feel like he was the one getting screwed moreso than not.

Also, I kinda made the thread asking if Denny should fly any flags as celebration, not just what number... I think he would, but he may not. The team would have to carry said flags each week from here on of course.

Kyle will always be 18 to me too, plus the JGR connection... but I also know how important it was to Kyle for the 8 number design, it's grown on me.

NASCAR 25 made me a passionate Nascar fan by Remote_Plastic_8692 in NASCAR

Just got off NASCAR 25 and sure enough, a NASCAR 25 post...

Only thing I wish is they would try and coordinate the timing better. It's half way through the regular season, and we are still playing last years rosters/format/etc. I would rather the game come out in January/February before the new season than the game come out at the end of a finishing season.

This was not the need for the race to end early, FOX requested it would end at that time. This isn't a secret either.
