I feel so bad for Busch to be honest. I don't know what woke up in that guy in the last few races, but he's put in some insane performances. It sucks he couldn't make the playoffs, but I'd be surprised if he doesn't get a win at some point in the postseason.

[@reno145]

He can win them all as far as I am concerned since it won’t give him another title.

I do like him better than the British guy they have commentating the F1 races. I end up turning down the volume half the time listening to that guy.

[@lecturehc]

He sounds like a good commentator, and I ain't surprised to encounter an aussie even in Nascar, given how much Australians like their stock car racing. But that said, Australian is my least favourite English accent so I can't really get into the spirit with an aussie commentator. But that's just me. I otherwise really like Australians and their culture in general, just not the accent. But having also said that, are the rest of the commentators exciting and captivating instead? Naaah, not by a long shot. Nothing's been the same since the days of McReynolds and Waltrip, those guys were the real deal. Nascar was a southern thang and had to have stayed that way. Oh well...

A great move by NBC to have Leigh Diffey as the commentator for NASCAR races, but I have a question: will he also be on the IMSA races?

[@UNHchabo]

Good question. There's *technically* no conflict for the remaining two races of the season, they just might not be easy weekends for Diff to do both. The Indy 6 Hour is the day after the Bristol Night Race, and then Petit Le Mans happens the day before the Roval race. So in both weekends he'd only have like 14 hours of time off between them.

[@bugglebegger143]

[@djrollerx81]

I have hated Kyle Busch every moment of his career. But for some reason I was cheering him to win this one. Dude has been down hard this year. They say you either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain. But Kyle has lived long enough as the villain to finally become a hero. In his youth, he would have dove deep and wrecked Briscoe for the win, but he took 2nd place like a man. Props to him.

[@CoreyCaudle-mp7zn]

Was there last night first time at Darlington. So much fun so worth the drive.

[@Floboyzlad17]

Leigh makes these moments 100x better, he makes every race feel huge

[@justinbreedlove8835]

I grew up. Hating NASCAR my uncle was a fabricator for trophy trucks but also helped building NASCAR chassis. Every time I was there it was always NASCAR on TV and I just hated it. But when I got a little bit older I grew up as a Kyle Busch fan. I'm just so happy for him to see what he's doing without being on a number one team and still pulling off these top finishes starting in the back and always coming up to almost win it's also nice to see him not get booed every race

[@nascarcomparisons]

This is probably the most justified and understandable reason I have seen for someone to hate NASCAR. For most people who hate it, it's always the same bs and not even justified. I hope Kyle Busch can break through and get a win this season and many more in the future to push himself further up the all time wins list.

I don't understand why the regular season points championship wasn't focused on more. NBC barely mentioning it. Cutting away to show positions of cut off cars that weren't going to even matter. Like, you have an extremely close season long points battle and you keep flipping over to show the 23 and the 17 float between the top 5 and the top 20. Meanwhile, actual drama and your game seven moment is happening right there...organically. And coverage is focusing all of their sound and fury on a cut off line that just sort of fizzled into nothing. Gibbs riding around on the tail of the lead lap (all he needed to do). Treux pretty well locked in after an early accident. And a lukewarm back and forth between the 23 and 17 that turned out to be for nothing. NBC, pretending it is interesting does not make it interesting. Could they not see that Larson had narrowed the gap to around eight points and was about seven positions faster? That it was going to be real close? I literally had to Google who had won the regular season points title before NBC even mentioned it. Why are we using this ridiculous points format? It's like this every year. They always have all this build up to the last race and the cut off races...and they are always hot garbage. And meanwhile the answer to everything is right in front of their faces. You have a 1 point championship race.

[@bugglebegger143]

the regular season points matter to the true fans. that said, I agree with your deeper point which is the commentary could inform the viewers more about the details of the competition (kind of more like f1) and also just generally treat it slightly more seriously

Not a Briscoe fan but good for him and that team. I was hoping for a miracle resurrection when Kyle went to RCR but the parity now with these box cars is just ridiculous. You almost "HAVE" to be in a Hendrick Chevy to make the slightest gains. And the way you have to change your driving style for that car just killed my man's star power along with a few others. "Maybe" just maybe RCR has finally hit on something. I sure hope so for Kyle's sake. I sure wouldn't mind him taking Truex's place to wind down his career after doing so much for Toyota.
