Things got a bit chaotic before Denny Hamlin could enter victory lane tonight. This night ends with a literal bang. #CocaCola600 pic.twitter.com/QsUJjmash2

Yes it was. I don't need 600 miles every week, but I'm good with what I saw last night. I also have been a season ticket holder their for a long time and I can't remember a car barrel rolling before on the front stretch.

Damned if I didn't fall a sleep and missed the final segment (100 laps)…. Watched highlights and have to say: how in the hell did Kyle Larson get competitive at the end? His night sucked while I was awake.

That guy surprised me with what he did as well.

I know it was partly caution-induced, but the lead changes and position swaps thru the field are what people want to see, and had clearly been missing from the 1.5 mile speedways over the past half dozen+ years. Sunday was more like the earlier vintages of the all-star race, just played out over 600 laps.

And someone on here suggested the new guy to get behind that is not just a bought up clone is Ross Chastain...well, I think I'm on board.

Chastain has been the hottest driver on the circuit of late.

I don't know how the technology of it works, but this new car has certainly made for a more balanced result. Sometimes the crafty veterans like Hamlin / Busch are going to hang around and still win, but pretty much all the top 20-25 drivers have a shot at every race, not just the 4 restrictor track races.

I won't get into details…too long to type, but this new car is amazing. I've seen this car three times in person and it's really cool sounding and looks good. But if you have time one day read up on the car.

Haha...that was me. I literally texted him and his manager on group thread we're on Sunday night and joking said "This Chastain &%*@er...every time I turn on the race" It's been crazy to watch how competitive he's been every single race it seems.

I like Chastain! He brings a grittiness to NASCAR we need. Too many of the top drivers (even though I pull for a few) are stale. We need drivers that don't mind mixing it up.

BTW, the Austin Dillon move late in the race was awesome to see…

That's a good looking car. Man, I wish RCR would win a few races this year.

Full day for sure. Not sure how feel about Portland. Didn't see any of it yesterday. Looks like smoking ribs and watching racing today.

Car looks good. I'm surprised that they haven't yet. I'm a Ford guy but with the way Chevy has run, kinda surprised.

Rain run today. Interesting. Grooved tires and wipers on a road course.

I'm not a fan of racing anything in the rain, but that's me. This race has been boring…IMO

I just turned to that channel. Have been watching the women's US Open golf tournamet @ PIne Needles.

I'm not a fan of road courses, but this rain running is interesting.

Hamlin's an ass!

We agree! I hope the favor is returned in the playoffs and cause him to miss advancing

Not a 11 fan but the 1 was making no friends. The 1 even admitted that he messed up. You know you are making bad decisions when you can get the 11 and 9 working together. I think that the 1 had 11,9,19 all mad at him. But I will say for Hamlin either wreck the 1 or move on….either way funny to watch…lol

You have to admit, Chastain's post race interview was very admirable... Ross is slowly becoming one of my favorite drivers.

he did for sure...and I have no issue with Hamlin seeking payback 1 time. But how many times did he slow down the 1 even though Hamlin was no longer a factor. So I just hope when he's needing a good finish to advance in the POs, Chastain returns the favor and purposefully slows him down.

**I will say, Hamlin's interview, he at least acknowledged it was just part of the learning process and that they'd all been thru it.

***Also, it is great for the broadcast to have that type of stuff going on. I just don't like Hamlin (nor the Bushes, not Lagano, nor Harvick, nor Kes lol)
