Noah Gragson being the driver that crashed here last year the most but being the only SHR driver not to crash this year is peak character development

Good !

So many people have called for SVG to get more experience on ovals in Xfinity before transitioning to Cup.. Yet he's still able to pass guys and consistently finish in the top 15 on ovals without crashing and taking people out.. Unlike these so called best drivers in the world who can't keep their car underneath them when the roads wet. Now ya'll gonna cry.. 'they have no experience in the wet" Well now you know what SVG is up against and the stella job he's doing with no experience on ovals, but he's doing a much better job than these top tier cup guys by not crashing, not taking others out and finishing races. Edit: Oh btw.. How good is street racing hey! So entertaining 👍

It looks like he was thinking he could either take out the car in front like Briscoe, and himself, or he could just take himself out. And he made the decision to take himself out.

Year two of a 'what would have happened if.' Weather has been ridiculous. I don't want races decided on tire choices that decide SUCH differences in speed.

I know that this race is fundamentally a shot NASCAR is taking at bringing in F1 fans, but if the racing is consistently this entertaining, I’m 100% okay with the pandering. This was a banger of a race.
