The 75 isn't entered prolly cause it's just far away and the 83 IDK. I know the 04 wasn't planning on racing this weekend due to damage at Kentucky but last second they fixed it and entered 3.

Man I'm been unlucky this year for most races this year. 7. JSPorts posted: 07.14.2020 - 12:01 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Seems like lots of fans have had conflicts this year.

You have a problem with Kyle, so I assume you didn't like Homestead. So therefore a run of 2 races comes to an end. What a run. Also I heavily disagree that those 2 races were any good. Pocono had way too many caution laps and was on by an xfinity driver driving for KBM (I would assume you don't like that) and Kentucky was a bad race too. It was a 1 lane race that was called official after 71 laps, 25 of which were under caution 12.

Raphael Lessard slips to 14th, still looking for that first top 10 of the season. Austin Hill has finished in the top 10 in every race so far this season, but that streak will end tonight due to engine trouble. 47.

He's really trying hard and can run in the Top 10, but really struggles later kn in the races. That guy really has potential but the lack of practice is hurting him. He had a good race regardless.

Sector posted: 07.19.2020 - 3:16 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) This is certainly a hurtful moment for Kyle Busch. Once before has a driver won two national NASCAR races in the same day; Kyle did it himself back in 2009 at Fontana in both the Xfinity and Truck series. He took the checkered flag in the Xfinity series race at Texas earlier in the day, but would be disqualified. Even with this win, it wasn't enough for him to accomplish two wins in a single day. 76. Mannoroth posted: 07.20.2020 - 11:22 am Rate this comment: (0) (1) 75. Well, he already had that achievement, so it doesn't hurt that much. If he has never done it before, it would be much worse. It's always better to have something only once than not at all. 77.

I get the covid part but NASCAR that was bad move. Eddie Gossage your better than that too. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Post a comment:* Your comment may not appear immediately - all comments must be approved by the moderator.
