Kansas: Larson Says, “Hold My Beer!” & The Return of Joel Edmonds

[@BootieScootRacingLLC]

“If my dog can help me get some ass , I’m in!”😂😂😂😂

[@RobBehling]

Joel Edmonds would be a great addition on a regular basis. Honest candid and hilarious!

[@1KYLEM1]

Banger of an episode !! I agree with Joel so much on the 30 week schedule. less comp with football,10 race playoff, Each track 1 time except Daytona for the cutoff

[@taylorbertrim7625]

The stage 1 battle between the #5 and #1 was a lot of fun to watch too.

[@eriklatham9384]

Yeah can’t believe they don’t mention it. Thought that was the best racing of the whole race. Definitely best first stage of the year.They clearly are not the biggest fan of Ross after proved Brett, TJ, and Freddie wrong a couple years ago after coming on the show.

[@haydendecker6766]

Really the stage 1 battle between the #9 and #10 was better.

[@jonludens4180]

Kansas was my first in-person NASCAR race, and even with the weather, the experience was all that I could have hoped for. From the placement of the merchandise vendors to the seating and the food in the Highline Club and the fan walk (which I didn't get to participate in as I was securing rain gear for my family), NASCAR did an outstanding job! My only complaint with NASCAR is they needed to communicate to the fans during the rain delays about what their thoughts are. We couldn't even get information from officials walking through the stands about what was going on until they announced drivers to the cars. I feel a lot more fans would have hung around for the race if they would have known something, anything, as we were all looking at the same radar picture and never thought that thing was going to get run on Sunday! One of the best things that we did was rent scanners. Now, I know that some drivers and their spotters like to communicate more than others, but one of the most enjoyable things I will remember is listening to TJ talk Brad through the race. The amount of information he gave him was outstanding and helped me understand what goes on in the car and on the track. The only way it could have been a better day was a win for Denny (Denny Is Great!) and TJ's car finishing in the top three. Unfortunately, Busch had to spin out and screw everything up. Keep up the great work and God Bless!

I think Joel needs to be on way more often. Maybe permanently. 😂😂

Really appreciate every show you guys do! Great insights and great laughs!! 😂 Joel is an awesome addition everytime too! Cheers, from Australia

[@ericmicke4130]

Heeeeyyy i was one of those fans at New Hampshire in 2001. Also to add to this part I caught a few races on TV and really liked the black and purple/pink and the number 99 and how it all looked together. So i was immediately invested as a kid in Jeff Burton.

[@chrisw443]

The shade for suarez still being engaged was hilarious. That got me laughing hard. Piss or get off the pot! Atlanta was awesome. But we gotta cut the fuel saving crap. This race is gonna go down in history!

I grew up 4 miles from MIS my dad worked there for first 2 years when MIS opened. I was 3-4 years old my dad took me to track where Jeep tested the Jeeps in the infield from 1970 - 1994-5. I have been a lifelong fan ever since.

Was there and tempted to go home when rain came and freezing. But I'm glad I stayed!

[@ashadkc9]

I took my wife back home (30 mins away) because she had to work in the morning. I made it back to my seats about 2 minutes before the green. I have NEVER seen a track dry that fast!

While Noah Gragson hasn’t won a race in the Cup Series, he has had 6 top tens this year. Better than how he was in 2023.

[@DewkChronic]

Buesher had so much pressure on him from his 17 team to all of FORD and NASCAR.

[@miketaylor3210]

Listening on the radio that was brutal. Chris’ team is being interviewed and you can hear the cheers from the team and then his crew chief says “we may not have won” that’s tough. Great race!

These dam commercials are ridiculous they go to commercials at the worst time an why can they not have a side by side every commercialsl break

[@joecapobianco647]

Think this is bad....just wait till the "network swap-over".

[@dustinpopdan1683]

💯 percent agree with Brett even denny said on his podcast this may be the last year for throw back weekend due to the cars not having the same sponsor thru out the year.. made a really good point if you gave the team more money instead of chasing the sponsor it's back in the driver's hand making them ironically branded and easier to pull for a constant driver week to week causing rivals between fan bases and drivering sales up tickets and everything.. nascar needs to find a way to get back to connecting with the fans and drivers

[@jorgejefferson8251]

Do you think any of the drivers racing towards the finish line were thinking I'll let up off the gas right at the line? No they were mashing that pedal through the firewall. NASCAR used the technology for a reason, unless you want them to go back to the way they figured out Lee Petty's photo finish win way way back in the day.

[@kevinfowlerjr]

Alex Bowman and ALLY are tied together. His car is consistently the same. Love that!

[@howardstrickler9760]

Casey the ever professional, Thank GOD she is there to keep you all in line

[@tylercobler4462]

I'll say it for the 500th time, if you want a game 7 moment but still want a legitimate champion then take the top 26 points days for each driver and use it to calculate the final points. The last 10 weeks would be constant storylines and scenarios up until the last race, stage, lap. It could even lead to a moment where they have to win to win the championship. One bad race in a 3 race championship segment would still lead to dominate driver not winning

[@achillesdur]

talking about race tracks to bring back. nascar destroyed california right after it showed it gives some of the best races. unfortunately we will never get a crowd out here to fill the seats, EVEN with them supposedly turning it into a short track. our locals don't even show to our local short tracks

Dad who is 70 and watched I guess as long as it's been televised but says the stages ruined nascar and doesn't watch anymore except occasionally flipping over for 10 min. Nascar needs to turn itself back 20years

[@chadwill3637]

There are tons of high speed cameras out there that NASCAR could use to show a clearer image for the "photo finish". But realistically, they should either figure out a way to get the transponder more forward, or have multiple, but yes they need a way to make these close finishes more transparent to the TV audience.

Nope

I fell in love with NASCAR when DW drove the Tide Ride--at first because I thought the car paint job was gorgeous. Love everything about this show, except the folks walking around behind the curtain. Edit: I'm wrong, it's a reflection on the driver suit display.

Why don't they have a line on the wall? Like a clear line that is placed right where the scoring loop is. And then a camera that is in the wall like a pilon camera.

When it comes to pits early or late its a under cut, or an over cut.
