Why hello world! Appreciate everyone checking in. I’m a-ok, just a little bloody and bruised but you’ll get that in big time auto racin’ 🤷🏻♂️ I got hit by somebody as soon as the punch connected. My view:
NEWS: It’s @KevinMagnussen for San Diego!
The former @F1 and current @FIAWEC driver will make his @NASCAR debut driving the @Qualcomm Chevy.

I absolutely love the fire out of DH after this dub. 45 years young, just won it like the wily vet he is but had some vigor like a youngster.

@dennyhamlin Got excited and gave DH an extra win lol. This was win No. 2 of the year for him and No. 1 at Nashville.
Wild night for the No. 11. Pole to last back to the lead, then found himself fighting back for it late.
Denny bros gonna light up Broadway tonight. Be safe everyone 🍻
🏁 WHAT A FINISH FOR THE WIN!
@dennyhamlin gets it done late! First win for Toyota at Nashville and third of the season for him.
Big crash across the line with Reddick and Elliott. Major damage.
Bell: "That was on me." P2 finish.
JGR-1-2-3, Stenhouse P4 (‼️)
4-lap shootout when we go green.
Bell-Briscoe-Hamlin-Elliott the top 4. SVG lurking in 6th, Gibbs 7th, Jones 8th, Smith took 2 tires and is P9.
Buckle up! #NASCAR
So much for that battle for the lead...Bell catches and gets by Smith relatively easily with 13 to go, about how Adam Stevens predicted.
Smith staying out trying to hold onto a solid finish...and now a CAUTION! Buescher in the wall.
.@ZaneSmith has lowkey been solid at @NashvilleSuperS in his career. Two 4th's and a 2nd in his Truck career and finished 2nd for Spire in 2024 and 13th last year for @Team_FRM. Plus a great run last weekend in the 600. #NASCAR
25 laps to go - Smith leads and is trying to stretch it. Blaney pits and has given up on that strategy.
Bell is P4 and 12 seconds back, but closing at a rapid, rapid pace.
Can he get there in time and can Smith stretch it for a huge upset win?
Adam Stevens tells Bell that they'll catch Smith and Blaney with about 10-15 laps to go. No. 20 is pushing hard and the No.'s 38 and 12 are saving trying to make it.
Smith told "I like that right there" re: his pace and it's right on the number.
Order before pit stops: 20-19-11
Order after pit stops: 20-19-11
JGR comes out 16-17-18 with 38 to go...as the No. 38 car tries to stretch it to the end on fuel from 4th.
.@ZaneSmith trying to stretch it to the end on fuel from 11th. He and Blaney pitted on Lap 217. Down in 19th, @rileyherbst pitted 2 laps later than them on Lap 219.
@SportsonPrime burn bar showing the No. 38 saving big time as the leaders approach pit stops.
Hard, respectful racing between three @JoeGibbsRacing teammates for the lead. Hamlin, Briscoe and Bell under a blanket as the No. 20 gets by with 55 to go.
One more pit stop likely for the leaders here at @NashvilleSuperS.
🤬 "F*ck him, man!" @JHNemechek says of @CarsonHocevar as they spin down the frontstretch. Replay shows the No. 42 was off the throttle in Turns 3 and 4. Also getting a piece was @ToddGilliland_.
🎧 "It's pretty clear he wrecked me intentionally after seeing that replay, so turnabout is fair play."
Brad @keselowski to @Tbayne6 on the @austindillon3 incident 👀
⚠️ Caution for another incident. Wallace, Bowman and Byron got a piece, too. Bubba said "I got no brakes" and then came back down the track and had no control.
Buescher got hit in the middle of the corner by Hocevar and a chain reaction followed. Yellow No. 9.
I *think* he was talking about SVG. Overheard him saying "what does he want me to do?" and spotter @Joshtwilliams said he's "just relaying the message, you know where I stand." Williams also used to spot for Blaney. #NASCAR
"Go tell him, it's twice. If he misses the bottom again and slams on the brakes and just comes back down, the next one I'm not lifting. ... That's f***ing bush league. You can only expect me to lift so many times."
Ryan Blaney, upset at an unidentified driver
💥 "The 3 just wrecked you on purpose. He's mad from earlier." - @tjmajors tells Brad @keselowski (who says "it wasn't our fault" lol)
@AustinCindric got a piece of it, too.
🗣️ "Just unbelievable. Can't believe I did that shit," @CoreyHeim_ says of the contact with @ToddGilliland_ that triggered that wreck and subsequent caution.
