BACK WHEN MARTINSVILLE WAS GOOD: In 2009, then rookie Joey Logano intentionally crashed Matt Kenseth as retaliation for getting into him on a restart. Logano was trying to be the first rookie to ever win the title, but he was suspended for the rest of the season, ending his hopes

Today Tyler Reddick is driving a throwback to Kurtis-Kyle (Kurt) Busch’s final win at LVMS. Only a few weeks after that victory, Busch endured a massive flip at Richmond, where the future hall of famer was forced to retire due to the complications. KFB is in all out hearts today

Yesterday, Jimmie Johnson flipped for the second time this season in the NCTS race at Phoenix. It was the 4th flip of his Nascar career and the first flip ever at Phoenix. Jimmie Johnson’s rough luck continues as he searches for his first win and playoff appearance since 2017

Great opportunity for Alfredo, without a doubt the most talented driver to ever drive the Hendrick 48 car

Alex Bowman will not race this weekend at Phoenix. Anthony Alfredo will be in the car. Bowman diagnosed with vertigo. @NASCARONFOX

Not only is Tyler Reddick the 1st to win the 1st 3 races of the year, he’s the first driver in nascar history to:

-Win 3 races at COTA & win 3 straight races at COTA
-Win the Daytona 500 & COTA in the same season
-Win a race while a lap down
-Win 2 races in a row from the pole

@carobooloo @tylerthecreator @Jordan_Bianchi @redbull @GilletteStadium @mackhollins @rileyherbst @J_Allgaier @roadamerica @DCSolar @UKFootball He’ll get his flowers eventually, still think him winning the truck race in 2021 might be his most impressive accomplishment there

Rare serious post from Rashod. My brother and I joking with each other was one of the reasons I made this account. Yesterday, his dog Champion, named after Nascar Champion Kyle Busch, unexpectedly passed away. RIP to a true champion

There has not been a flip at a road course in Nascar since Clint Bowyer in 2009, where he turned over after getting clobbered by Jeff Gordon. Will we see the streak broken at COTA this weekend?

[Rashod Flute, Ph.D. @FluteRashod]

@GOWENYT Arguably the greatest moment for the number 3 car in nascar history

[Rashod Flute, Ph.D. @FluteRashod]

@jeff_gluck I voted no because nascar let some random lap car with damage interfere with tin finish

Jimmie Johnson’s Daytona 500 stats this Decade:

2020-Crash
2021-DNQ
2022-DNQ
2023-Crash
2024-Finished 4 laps down
2025-Doesn’t count b/c everyone crashed on the final lap
2026-Crash

[Rashod Flute, Ph.D. @FluteRashod]

Should NASCAR have thrown the caution of the final lap of the Daytona 500? Jimmie Johnson ended up rolling over for the 3rd time in his career in the crash, but race officials let the rest of the field race to the checkered

@vldr0001 @25YearsAgoLive @Rdnascarcrashes Scott Stapp was inspired by Dales radio for the lyrics

@25YearsAgoLive @Rdnascarcrashes His radio is terrifying to listen to
