Excellent read from @TannerSmithPBP about Daniel Suárez and the Spire Motorsports No. 7.

they also both got their start in one-offs at Gateway before being a pseudo-sub (Smith for Todd at FRM, Carson for Noah at LMC) for other drivers prior to their full-time careers

This is how I learned both Hocevar and Smith competed in their 100th Cup race last weekend

Here's a comparison of each of their stats so far:

Many people who attended last Sunday's #NASCAR Cup Series race @ChicagolndSpdwy battled issues with traffic en route to the 1.5-mile track in Joliet.

For any people complaining about driver appearances being cancelled, i was at Denny Hamlins at 4 pm one hour before the news on Kyle. He seemed noticeably upset and not his usual self. Now imagine trying to do autographs and act normal all weekend.

[Jeff Gluck @jeff_gluck]

Hey everyone. I know you're hurting. Wanted to share what I just wrote about Kyle Busch. https://t.co/tNgNwBZlGb

[Jay Money @insiderJmoney]

RIP Kyle Busch

[Pit Box Press @PitBoxPress]

We are beyond heartbroken to hear of the passing of Kyle Busch. He will forever be a legend in this sport. Our thoughts go out to his friends, family, and fans during this extremely difficult time.

[Carson Hocevar @CarsonHocevar]

every day is a privilege and today is a truly sad reminder of that.

this little boy in this picture hated you on sunday’s. but he loved to hate you, and you made it very difficult to hate and not become a fan when your passion for racing showed, when you would show up to his home town to race at his home tracks. he will be forever grateful for that.

from a fan, to a hater, to a competitor, to a teammate, and to even maybe a friend. i share that story because this little kid in the picture was not anywhere near the true number that you impacted for the better just through racing.

you will be deeply missed. both on the race track, but certainly off.

RIP. 🕊️

Happy race day, everyone!

While you watch #Indy500 qualifying and prepare for today’s #NASCAR All-Star Race at Dover, take a look at my latest for @GridNetworkTV where I look into the IndyCar career of Scott McLaughlin and assess whether a move to NASCAR would work for 2027

[GRID Network @GridNetworkTV]

Despite his success in @IndyCar, @TannerSmithPBP believes that @smclaughlin93 should switch to @NASCAR in 2027!

See why Tanner thinks a change might not be so bad for the @Team_Penske driver.

@MatthewBreault7 @GridNetworkTV @IndyCar @smclaughlin93 @NASCAR @Team_Penske @BubbaWallace @shanevg97 I’m not sure it’s about convincing Scott if Roger has already greenlit the idea. I think convincing Roger is the hard part
