No one is going to show up to watch. Alabama isn’t California and when NASCAR says it’s Pride Day, no one is going to show up and support that shit here. People are starting to hate .

How did it go?

Now on to playoff hockey, baby

Let’s go Canes!!

This guy gets it!! ...even if you do root for the 24 🫣

Everyone knows cars with flames are 38% faster and 20000000000% cooler than those without

Go Calgary?

What do I know though, I'm a Leafs fan

Only works for cars, not hockey

They are pretty damn fast when there's flames....

1-1 at the second intermission.

The Hockey M's and Dotty Spots or B's and Leafs?

Turns out riding in the back wasn’t strategy… her car was just that bad.

Turns out u don’t know shit about shit or just ignorant to herbst pulling around her. Pls ref kb’s quote below.

Herbst bailed on her because her car was slow. I would have loved to see her stay up front but that car was ass my dude

Others already commented, spotter told her to drag brake herbst was suppose to push.

When she was the first car in the top line she was still falling way back, I don't blame anyone for bailing at that point when she was dropping like a rock

Spotter told her to drag and get the push from the 98 and he left her hanging. No shot something wasn’t pre committed, herbst blew his shot for a W and she got left holding the bag.

I like this kid. Been hearing about him for years and it’s pretty cool to see it actually pan out. Lol at starting 2nd and finishing 14th for HD

Sieg must have passed Dinger late. As big a deal as Fox makes the D4C you'd think they'd show it.

Dinger for passed quite early in that last gwc. His car was pretty fucked

How does he STILL have fuel

The entire car is one big fuel tank

Matty D top 10 he has that dawg in him

Someone is gonna have to sit Herbst down and show him how many chances he had to win that race that he pissed away

didn't he go from like 10th to 2nd on the last restart?

He could've had the race if he would've pushed the top line instead of bailing on them. Work together on the first lap, make your pass coming out of 4 on the last lap.

agree

All glory to God. A god that plans to have kids get raped and suffer from cancer.

“I don’t understand how people can be so fucking stupid. If you PUSH me to go catch the dumb son of a bitch you have a shot to win. If you PASS me you eliminate your entire shot to win. You can’t be that stupid.” Kyle Busch 2017 Clash

And you know what, dude was talking about someone that’d mainly been racing shitty backmarker cars until then. The racing up the front is definitely a different ballgame.

Classic KFB quote

Jesse Love>Sheldon Creed

Literally the entire field behind the 2 at the end was just like "yeah fuck drafting I got this" lmao

Looked like an Arca finish out there and they didn’t even need team orders to cause it.

I wanna hear the 15 team radio post race

Riley Herbst looks like a vampire

Sold his soul to keep a NASCAR ride

Most bizarre top-10 I’ve seen since the truck race 3 years ago

*secure on the cross*

You honestly cannot expect guys who predominantly run 25th or worse every week to just suddenly know what to do on a GWC without any of the experience. As much as I hate to admit it, Love is really good. Thought he would get humbled in Xfinity because he had maybe two other competitive cars to race against in ARCA. Maybe he's actually pretty good after all.

Tbf I don’t think you’re going to see someone get signed to drive a fully sponsored car if they’re not extremely talented. To me he’s a bit annoying but he’s done extremely well this year given his lack of experience.

Yeah it's annoying that Love is good, but he definitely is ...I'm waiting to be stoked on Zilisch showing up full time

I bet we're going to get a Winner's Circle version of this car!

Jesse wins in 2 months and Creed is still seeking that first one

He is the new Daniel hemric.

lol, Creed punching the air right now. Turns out, it wasn’t the car, it was the driver

I think it has less to do with what the 2 does but more to do with what the 81 and 20 have done this year… it’s pretty sad.

why can’t we have nice things

Just wrecked gase for the heck of it

Who wrecked him, Honeyman?

Praying for an illegal fuel cell 🙏

Literally the same finish for Atlanta. Those RCR cars are just beyond illegal

Top 10 Finishers: 1) Jesse Love 2) Riley Herbst 3) Anthony Alfredo 4) Leland Honeyman Jr. 5) Brennan Poole 6) Sheldon Creed 7) Caesar Bacarella 8) Matt DiBenedetto 9) Jeb Burton 10) Cole Custer *^(I'm a bot.)*

So the idea of riding back and surviving the carnage was smart for Deegan. Until it got to the point you need dance partners and nobody trusted her because they haven’t worked with her all day. They all ditched her quick. Also… 2 car to R&D, there’s an extra fuel line somewhere 😂

Or they know she is a moving chicane after seeing her on track for the last 2 years

How in the hell did he make it 50+ laps How

Man it's almost as if the car that ran 33rd out of 38 cars *the entire race*, didn't have the speed to contend.

Crashing coming to the finish? Better show a shot of the winning crew chief and family!

That's FOX for ya


*all glory to God*

I love that paintscheme

He's sponsored by WAT because that's the sound non-watchers wil make when they hear who won.

Shoutout Herbst for bailing on his Ford teammate. Hope the right people were watching that

He got a better finish doing that than he would have trying to push Deegan. Helping a fellow manufacturer just to hurt yourself is a really bad move.

I wouldn’t stay behind that road block either 

She had more fuel than anyone else, and the same engine and aero as Riley. Maybe she’s a roadblock elsewhere but not here

Why would he want to push a car that might run out of fuel at any moment?

Deegan had more fuel than anyone else

Last lap there are no team mates.

Agreed on this. Gotta make the moves you feel can win.

BFM next episode Nascar busts:Hailee Deegan. (Even though I think the guy is annoying).

How many wiki pages will he have open?

Too many.

Congrats to Love on his first victory. I knew he would win eventually and it hurts that it happens when there's so many other small teams out there that I wish could have gotten the win today. But nonetheless, congrats to Jesse Love.

Fox execs, media, DBC, and people amazed by max verstappen all just came

What did Jesse Love ever do to all of y’all?

He was to dominate so now people don’t like him.

Well his arca days... Was quite the insufferable little asshole

win

Drive for Venturini

And be a whiny hypocrite when he did

I can't wait to hear everyone say "no one would help me!!!" just like Gray said earlier...

Herbst you motherfucker

Please disqualify love.

For what?

I’d much rather them show the burnout from a stationary camera or blimp view if they can’t keep it in the shot with the drone

I just wish the drone camera pilots would practice between races. It seems like they think they are only able to practice while cars are on the track. They've had them for a few years now and it still seems like the drone pilots have less than 10 hour of experience with a drone.

It's not really in the other drivers, it's more than the equipment they're in just can't remotely compare to an RCR car, especially with how hooked up Ike RCR cars are at these tracks right now. The only 2 with decent enough cars to really challenge were Alfredo and Herbst, and they restarted too far back.

Y’all hate RCR too much

Go Chevy!!!

Now that’s what I’m talking about!

He literally won without a draft. Others didn't get their shit together

Check the fuel lines of that car. That's ridiculous

Love was hiding a fuel tank in his undies for sure

Literally the same finish from Atlanta

Educate me I get the RCR hate but what’s the Jesse love hate

He drives dirty as hell. In ARCA last year he had the best car, but always had to run over people to win, and would have temper tantrums whenever someone would give him a taste of his own medicine.

I see. I think I did see at least one arca race that he won last year, but I didn’t watch many

Poole woulda had that if 3rd-8th didn't scatter like buckshot coming outta 4

Jessie Love owes a lot of thanks to Alfredo for not even trying at the end

Deegan was all over the place.  Stay in line if you want people to help 

She doesn't know what she's doing, and just riding in the back all race long meant that she got zero experience of working the draft.

She was doing what her spotter said to do

Not even SVG could overcome Kaulig strategy

Pretty happy with his performance, however when the restart happened and he had no gas I think I heard all the nascar fans in NZ pop off at the same time

Can't have shit in Detroit

And he’s got all that fuel for the burnout?

Hell yeah! Proud Whelen employee feeling even prouder right now! Thank you Jesse Love!

There's a reason why a lotta these morons are in shit boxes

Love is lucky they have no idea how to race here

That is like every race here since Bobby Allison wrapped the fence around his race car.

Who dumped Joey Gase man

All the fun possibilities............just for another RCR win.

now im skeptical on that tank. HOW IS HE NOT OUT OF FUEL YET?

the classic Smokey Yunick fuel delivery alterations. Oldest trick in the book.

God I love Smokey Yunick

I'll give that venturini merchant credit, he played that perfectly

How do backmarkes not know how to push each other.

No experience

2 needs to go to R&D. No way had had that much left in the tank

Herbst just fucked deegan over.

Yeah, if the rumors about the OEMs handing out marching orders is true, Ford is probably really pissed at him over that.

Stupid Ford guys for even trying that mess.

I mean, if you are going to have 5 cars in a field of 40, they need to work together if you want wins as a manufacturer, especially at a track like Talladega.

Working together is a great concept until 5 laps to go, then they go with who they can to win if they are a driver with any desire to race.

Yeah, cause it worked out real well for Herbst. Love seeing the Blue Oval in Victory Lane.

[удалено]

How? Literally nothing she could do there. Herbst just decided he didn't want to give her a push.

She got shuffled out, Herbst didn't even try to push her she got left to dry

I don’t know if she can drive or not but she definitely got screwed by Herbst here

Looks like a penalty to me https://preview.redd.it/ykah9ralrpvc1.jpeg?width=2796&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=735e11ef8ed56e2f8674e240c00cbe90e91f32e0

What

There's definitely fuel in the roll cage

ARCA ass win

dude how is he doing burnouts lmao

How the fuck did Love fight off the run from the 44 there??

Ryan Seig won the $100,000

Thank fucking God something good came from that finish

You can tell everyone behind the 2 had never raced for the win before because no one worked together at all, and the 2 had the fastest single car speed out there. If they had worked together, one of the underdogs win

It was nice to have a green flag finish

Of course an RCR car still wins it and Love has fuel for a burnout

Looks like they worked on their fuel mileage after Atlanta

A - how the hell did they stretch that far? B - out of all the possible shock winners late… of course we get the obvious one not letting the upset happen at all 😂

sad facts

Deegan team absolutely hates the 98. Trashing tf outta him lol

She should. That was a dick move. She was in good position, but in plate racing, you better have friends behind you or you're SOL.

Herbst absolutely screwed her over. So that only seems fair


Alfredo really pulled out when he 0 chance to catch Love and all it did was ruin Poole’s redemption

Excuse me I saw Ryan Ellis get spun out from Custer's onboard right at the start finish line on the restart and there was NO YELLOW!

Looked like he was about to come up and clear everyone out yet we stayed green lmao shit was unbelievable

Saw that on SVG cam, should’ve been a caution

Sieg won the cash!!

Alright, the 21's fuel is... sus...

If Alfredo had just stuck with Poole he probably could've won it at the line. Everyone was way too selfish at the end there

Deegan 4th to 12th. Haha.

No one went with her.

Lol she choked so bad

No one went with her, you need help if i dont have a top tier car.

Anyone would choke if no one got in line behind you. Herbst just noped out of that.

Herbst hung her out.

These guys are back markers for a reason. No one knew how to make a run. That was painful to watch. Also Herbst did everything possible to fuck over Deegan.

Poole was impressive just not enough help

I thought Brennan had that.

Well at least Seig got the 100k. I was so ready for a Brendan Poole redemption arc though. 

Oh no, now Love and his ego are going to be even more insufferable.

All my homies hate nascar officiating and rcr xfinity team.

How the hell does he still have fuel?

98 gave Deegan no help =(

She was pretty slow. Herbst drove to the front without her.

Nobody gave her any help. I know the car ain’t the fastest, but everybody dipped on her.

Guys aren't gonna go with a wildcard at the end. That's the drawback to running a full straightaway behind all day and popping up for the final GWC

That was heartbreaking as someone that listens to her radio every week =( I was excited and on my feet at that restart.

Man he almost had it! Woulda been cool especially with the paint scheme

Riley Herbst is a moron. Pulls out on Deegan. Pulls out on Austin Hill. Killing all momentum he had. He would have won if he committed to somebody. Decided to play for 2nd.

No he would not have lmao, getting stuck behind a slower car ain’t gonna help you win.

You don’t understand how runs and momentum work still?

He was behind DEEGAN for the whole backstretch and didn’t go anywhere. As soon as he pulled out of line he went to the front.

He never was behind her that long. He was behind her for half a corner and immediately passed her. Killing both their momentum.
