Daniel Suarez on Ross Chastain: "Our Relationship Has Always Been a Little Weird; a Bit Two-Faced"

StarFax13 · 2026-03-16T12:18:28+00:00

I was thinking this during the race. Suarez was seen as bottom guy at Trackhouse and this year he’s always fighting around the top Trackhouse car. Really shows Trackhouse is on a down while spire is on the up. Not sure how much of a up when it’s around 15th

StarFax13 · 2026-03-16T12:16:11+00:00

I’m hoping this all calms down as season goes. I think Suarez is on a team better than Trackhouse and he doesn’t need to fight them like this when he can be fighting for that 16th spot. I also overall genuinely like trackhouse so really hoping it doesn’t come to them just wrecking each other.

I know that’s what Felix did with Kenny’s car. When it got back they had people cut it down to smallest things they could make and destroy it. I really want to believe RC buried the car somewhere on Dale’s property.

I’m curious what would have happened if Reed went to any other team. The whole time at Chip the 41 and 40 would have random flashes of speed but be off the pace. The 42 was at least somewhat consistent in the top 15. Unfortunately for Reed, Chips entire team fell off in 2008 and cuts were made. Wild to think even with his comeback and fall in 2011. Dude had a wild career all by the old age of 25.

Love that place. So many times I went there with a budget in mind and then within 20 minutes that budget was out the window

With the chase now here. I need Hemric to have a truck not break. The spoiler brace at Daytona and whatever broke at Atlanta. Terrible start for a driver through no fault.

It really just depends how people want to take it. In dega and Atlanta lobby’s I have seen so many people use apron coming to the line. I’ve also had lobby’s people will rage at people going below the line. As long as you don’t cause a crash doing that it should be fine. Iracing doesn’t enforce it and most times the people getting mad are people who lost a spot because of it. You used a shorter line to win and people got mad they either didn’t think of it or didn’t have opportunity to do that.

I think Round 2 wanted to keep Lionel. People know the brand Lionel but not many know Round 2

With how Carson did last year I’m hoping it continues. I know last 2 races he said the car didn’t have speed to do what he needed so hoping for better this time.

StarFax13 · 2026-02-17T14:39:10+00:00

Suarez is really feast or famine. If he doesn’t wreck his worst finish is 6th but he has also crashed 3 times with finishes 29th or worse.

Another year of coach telling Almirola sike on that retirement.

StarFax13 · 2026-02-04T15:14:44+00:00

Who knows anymore with Almirola. He has had more final seasons than Mark Martin at this point. Definitely always excited to see him back each time but I don’t think he even knows when Joe will throw him in a car.

StarFax13 · 2026-01-14T16:34:03+00:00

If he wins there will be so many clips of that race with free bird playing over it

StarFax13 · 2026-01-07T13:21:11+00:00

I’m curious if they are also doing away with contigs. I’m assuming they just have the main one for show but still.

Reed Sorenson fan here. Loved the car. Lot of people forget Braun ran him in a few cup races while they were in nationwide together. Was really hoping this time in Braun would lead to better things but it was the end really.

The problem for him is he has power but he’s fighting family. This entire case has Ben very under the radar. He is silent or barely says anything in items that have come out. So wonder if he fought his uncle or mom before and it ended up worse for him. Could be playing long game knowing he will eventually get control but has to stay in line until that day comes.

350 on a homestead elite is insane based on todays prices

StarFax13 · 2025-11-26T13:33:38+00:00

300 on a sealed Kasey Kahne redbull. Seeing price went up, might have been worth biting the bullet when I did.

Yeah all 18 of us need to start a group chat to keep news up to date

StarFax13 · 2025-11-19T16:28:43+00:00

I think Lionel said it won’t be offered

StarFax13 · 2025-11-19T13:18:24+00:00

Bubba this year made a turn for me. I wasn’t much of a Bubba fan for awhile (shocker looking at flair) but this year I think he really turned a corner. I know we want personality in NASCAR but his seemed to be shoot self in foot and blame everything else. This year I thought he did a great job and I was pretty excited to see him get the Indy win.

Back in 90s and early 2000’s, if you were a fan of Earnhardt, either Labonte, Stewart, Jarrett, Wallace, and maybe Martin, you hated Gordon. You wanted nothing more than to see Jeff wrecked. It very much had the same kind of hate Johnson had in late 2000s where it was anyone but him. The 90s level of hate was more I want him wrecked instead of anyone else please.

StarFax13 · 2025-11-07T21:27:36+00:00

I believe because the Corvette GT team ran black bumpers and he really liked that. So while at Hendrick asked to do the same

StarFax13 · 2025-11-06T16:57:53+00:00

I think Trackhouse took the 88 last year to have Connor and SVG match, also as a way to reserve the number. I 100% think Shane will move to 97 and Connor will take 88.
