2021 NASCAR Big 3

Was it just me who laughed very very hard and loud when the Clown Prince Harvick wrecked himself? He should leave that nice young Elliott boy alone and pick on someone his own age.

I know the Stewart Haas cars have sucked all season, but Harvick looks like a man whose excellent driving skills have deserted. Bit like JJ after that Pocono shunt. Time for the retirement home?

Exciting race at Texas so far, a lot better than I expected. Final(?) restart coming up. I hope Larson wins it.

Edit - Attaboy Larson!

Definitely one of the best races of the season, Texas usually puts on a good show. Just shows you don't need all those gimmicks to make a good show. Well done Larson, he's definitely getting better all the time

Great finish in the xfinity race, congrats to Gragson. One helluva burnout as well

I'm shocked, Kyle Busch might be insensitive??

While talking to reporters on pit road about his last-lap battle with Brad Keselowski for a playoff transfer spot, Busch described it as “just fricking r*******, man.”

Is redneck now a slur?

It is increasingly considered an offensive term, yes.

I read a report Kyle had used the "r word". Heck, I racked my brains. I racked them some more. I asked google for curse words beginning with r. Then I found a video of Kyle's interview on Youtube.... so he can't say "retard". What the actual f$%÷ is wrong with the woke wierdos that seem to be calling the shots in the US? No doubt he would have been in trouble if he'd said stupid or dumb. Are there any words in the English language people can use without some damn cry babies taking offense? Sheesh. It's a darn good job I don't drive a racecar for a living otherwise I'd no doubt have been tarred, feathered and banished to spend eternity with Beelzebub. Safer for Kyle and anyone else to just stick with "I'm just here so I don't get fined".

While I'm ranting how come little 12 year old Denny hasn't been on the naughty step of the NASCAR bus? The same whiny little brat who did the same 5h1tty dump on Chase Elliot a few years ago... if you can't take it, don't give it! I hope someone dumps Hamlin hard in the wall at Phoenix. I hope Larson takes the Championship, but Chase and Truex Jr are both good guys in my book - if not as deserving as Larson. Anyone but Hamlin, please...

I think it's a bit too much storm in the teacup. I've heard worse. Maybe it wasn't the smartest thing to say, so I can understand them giving him a quiet word about it. But NASCAR seems to be very picky on what people can say. The thing is though, we enjoy drivers speaking their mind, within reason obviously. I think there has been an overreaction. It's a shame really. Punish those who overstep the mark obviously, but don't lose your rag over a little thing someone said

As I said NASCAR seems to pick and choose what can and can't be said, without very good logic. There was nothing wrong with a bit of needle between Hamlin and Elliot and no one complained, so everything is ok. Let's just hope for a better race next time. It's hard to predict who will be champion. Just a shame the series seems to hit the self destruct button too often

Cause he doesn't run his mouth like an idiot. And obviously you are not well versed at all with it but you haven't been able to use that to describe anyone in YEARS. It's not a new thing for the US dude, find another something to get indignant about but that ship has sailed and come back for more words.

Dale Jr. got the chance to try the new car at Bowman Gray and has posted a video where he talks about it. I think it's a pretty good video if you're curious about the changes, how it handles and so on:

Cheers for the link, well worth a listen. I watched a video of Jr running the car and thought the soundtrack from that engine/ exhaust was awesome.

Apparently nascar has it fixed, the guys running for the title are 1-4 with 80 to go. Elliot and Larson seem to be the 2 to beat

[tux]

Not at all dodgy that the 4 drivers for the championship are running 1-4...

Happened multiple times in the race too.

I believe they get to restart at the front as well. And previous comment was purely tongue in cheek.

The Cup line around Phoenix is just odd
