Great for NASCAR to have a first-time winner -- Kiwi SVG -- in his first race? YES.
Does it make NASCAR look easy compared to V8 Supercars? Well, on a wet street course, maybe.
Helps to have a winning team like @TeamTrackhouse#garage91#NASCARChicago
Bad weather but plenty of action in #NASCARChicagoStreetRace as a result. If it holds attention of curious newbie TV race watchers in Chicago area, could make for interesting ratings.
@MattYocum An interesting look back, including interviews. Over time, Petty acknowledged he didn't think this move was cool at all. But all's fair. Only way Petty could have won was with a draft. No draft needed in Chicago!
@RandyLHallman@RTDSports Outstanding op. piece, if not classic. Missed some of the ugliness (thankfully) due to meeting some deadlines before leaving for Le Mans. Will do Test Day (first time new Hypercars on circuit) for AW before retreating to Paris, then ATL. Leaving race coverage to younger studs.
Biggest potential story today -- Johnson bringing The King back to Victory Lane at #Daytona 500-- one day after news hits about dethroning him on decision making at Legacy Motor Club.
The fact that a small handful of NASCAR drivers want NASCAR to create yet another new rule outlawing one of the most incredible last-lap moves in the history of the sport β one that had every fan on their feet and cheering β is beyond baffling to me.
Sometimes it isn't over even when it is over. Champ @MarcoAndretti headed for thumb surgery after SRX finale injury. OK, but @josefnewgarden must pass physical Thurs. to race Indy after collapsing following Iowa. @dennyhamlin@KyleBusch DQ'd from 1-2. @chaseelliott wins Pocono.
Strictly the view from here on contact with @dennyhamlin on restart. @RossChastain again insisted on pushing the issue with a car that couldn't cover his ambitions. "I'll give you just enough room to wreck yourself." -- Kyle Petty.
@RossChastain running first at @PoconoRaceway with @dennyhamlin a close second. With 27 laps to go, payback time? Needs a caution due to being short on fuel.
