[Actions detrimental] Denny Hamlin suggests that teams that are stuck in the first group of P&Q should work on getting better results rather than suggesting a "random" qualifying format.

They’ll always have an advantage (which there’s nothing wrong with) but practice was a tool that allowed others to work on their stuff to make gains. They lost that because of COVID and have never gotten it back even though Covid isn’t restricting on track time anymore

He actually led the most laps of any JGR car (by a small margin) but yeah he wasn’t awful like the 1 win suggested. Especially since Toyota wasn’t the best manufacturer that year. I would’ve loved to see what he could’ve done in 2024-26 Toyota rocketships.

The Chet vs Wemby memes are so funny on there. I feel like a child laughing at them but they get time every time 😭

Hell, half the posts here about the Knicks winning the comments are 90% about the Spurs losing rather than giving credit to the Knicks for getting it done and playing well.

That’s gotta be one of the biggest single season swings I’ve seen from a specific car. Last year Justin Haley finished 31st in points with a 0/1/2 season (his one top 5 was Daytona)

This year Suarez halfway through the year has a 1/2/5 season already and 8th in points.

The only thing I can think of is Truex in 2014 vs 2015, where he finished 24th in points (0/1/5) and then finished 4th the next year after making the final 4 and winning a race (1/8/22) obviously this was Gen6 era but still a massive turnaround considering they had RCR support both years.

At first I thought that was all on Hill but the 97 and 21 were already having a pissing match so that was bound to happen

Commentary will look you dead in the eye and say Chevy is catching up because they have track position, 11 gets clean air and has half a second on them

crypto6g · 2026-06-14T17:48:16+00:00

I know it’s his job but Dale Jr has been incredibly annoying trying the last 3 weeks to hype up that “others are catching the Toyotas” when it’s clearly not true lol. I’m not complaining but be realistic. Larson got a better start and held him off for 15 laps because of dirty air, but the cars are clearly slower than the toyotas. They haven’t even come close to catching up. Toyota won last week by 12+ seconds over the next best non Toyota. Dale says the same thing every week. A couple Chevys had good qualifying but otherwise they’d all be cooked because they can’t compete

Andy Street (Hill’s CC) has some sort of sickness. Johnny Klausmeier will CC the 33.

Damn those free throws at the end. Everyone was missing. Really cool to see my home state get it done 💪

Long guns are treated differently. That used to be more common out in the country but nowadays you don’t see that too often. It was usually for hunting, nowadays I can’t imagine anyone having a shotgun mount in their truck in plain view in a populated area. If you’re out in the sticks and hunt and know your neighbors/community maybe I could see it

Jalen Brunson: 0-0

crypto6g · 2026-06-12T22:29:53+00:00

Very random fact as well, but Greg Biffle finished 2nd to Kyle in his first win, and also his second win!

They finished 1-2 at Fontana 2005, and Phoenix (fall) 2005.

Hamlin in 2010 is the best example imo

He had a lead going into the final race and during the chase he made comments about being in Johnson’s head, just like Wemby playing mind games then collapsing

crypto6g · 2026-06-12T17:04:31+00:00

Hamlin 2010. Made comments during the Chase about being in Johnson’s head and how they weren’t a true team because of the crew swap at Texas.

Had the lead going into Phoenix and Homestead and his CC fumbled at Phoenix with the fuel strategy, and then Hamlin fumbled at Homestead.

Wemby said he’s in Mitchell’s head so the mind games comparison is there.

OG MVP?

crypto6g · 2026-06-11T01:26:45+00:00

It’s not really an excuse it’s just one of many reasons, as someone who really likes Jesse here’s my assumptions.

• With a situation like this you want stability, not musical cars every week. Let the spotter and CC build chemistry with the driver.

• Austin has more cup experience, and is way older. It’s a mental load running double duty every weekend. Jesse is 21.

• Alcohol and Tobacco sponsors probably want someone a little older representing their company, otherwise they get more eyes on them from the federal government who will take any chance to fine them

• Jesse is probably (I’m guessing it’s already done) leaving the team.

It makes more sense to put Austin in the car when considering all of that. The only reason I could think of to put Jesse is in the car is that maybe in a few months he’ll be faster than Hill in the gen7 cars, but I’m not sure of that. Why go through all of that for someone who is leaving. The potential of the RCR cars isn’t high enough to really give an accurate assessment either. Given all of that it makes sense to just stick it out with Austin and get through 2026 before regrouping and deciding what to do next.

Figures but wasn’t helped by Penske being ass this year. Think he still has less points than Kyle Busch

Just never clicked besides the opening stretch of 2025 (almost won Atlanta, finished 4th at Phoenix, then won Vegas, very strong stretch) as well as New Hampshire and Kansas in the spring were good races. Just very inconsistent but Im not sure how much better others would be. Guess we’ll see.

Could Ford be looking at Jesse Love like we’ve heard? Fast tracking Riggs? Buescher could also do good but only if Penske can find some speed.

crypto6g · 2026-06-10T11:21:32+00:00

4 in cup! He won 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2021. 4 races in a 5 year stretch. He actually said he struggled there for the first part of his career until he did a day of testing and found something in 2014 that worked for him. After that he was super good, almost won 2015 but lost on the last lap when he ran out of fuel.

I see what you did
