It's funny how all the drivers have to look way up at Eric when he talks to them😂

[@CameronStearns-gz4xz]

That’s what I was thinking 😂😂😂

[@drdogbarker3830]

Thanks for noticing that. it definitely made the video more fun to watch.😂😂😂

[@bonesdoes6142]

I appreciate you referencing the scoring pylon 😂

[@ryanmorrissey2612]

Boy that scoring pylon really came in handy there! 😅

[@timberace77]

Shout out to the Pylon!

[@Untoastedbagel1271]

The unsung hero of every race weekend

[@jamescarter6975]

SHR has surprised me so far this season , for the good . Noah is running better than I expected.

[@aaronarmstrong9776]

I don't think Gragson or Preece have got to really show what they got

[@mandude03VideosYT]

​@@aaronarmstrong9776 Preece no, Gragson absolutely has

[@DriftlessWarrior]

I expect a win from Noah soon! 👊💯🔥

[@keithsibley8270]

I wouldn't be surprise if Noah win a race this year

[@SpeedGoat18]

Yep, Noah's gonna be just fine. He's finally getting a fighting chance after the Dumpster fire that was Legacy!..He's always been one hell of a driver and great with the fans!..His new focus is extremely evident now!

[@naparacingfan9275]

Gragson is becoming a serious playoff contender even with the Atlanta penalty. May get a win this season and is leading the charge for SHR right now.

[@bighand1530]

I would be up for Noah Gragson winning.

[@kadinsmith5182]

Gragson and Briscoe are proving to be a formidable force. Briscoe holding solidly in the 12 position in the playoff standings and Noah inching his way closer to the top16 aswell.

[@DriftlessWarrior]

@@bighand1530 Totally!!!

[@grayson1126]

I really didn’t see this in him after last year but it’s good to see him do it, especially for a team thats needed some life

[@MANlNBIACK]

He’s the real goat 🐐

[@drumsofberk]

Nice pylon in the back there XD

[@joshbarnes151]

Eric… great job with putting the scoring pylon in the shot. Love your attention to detail.

[@Itsgamingtime11-co5kp]

Hey Eric!! Have fun at Kansas tomorrow!

[@HonoraryBoomer]

I FOUND ERIC! 🎉🎉🎉🥳 Best birthday ever!

[@Itsgamingtime11-co5kp]

Nice job!!

[@GuacamoleMuckbang]

Man that 30 foot tall scoring pylon is an eyesore. They should put a 35 inch flat screen tv there instead.

[@RacingGuy2448]

The drivers may need to carry around step stools to make sure they can see somewhat eye to eye with Eric when he interviews them

[@TheCloudCreation]

Well right as you finished the video, C Bell has another reason to be confident starting the race tomorrow on the pole. Hopefully this is a sign of things turning around for him.

[@calebjohnson561]

Stenhouse said "you know" about a thousand times in that clip

[@benjaminhughes2089]

So, I may have been watching the Pylon more than you, Eric, for most of the show. 😂

[@LouisJanYoung]

Love the at track reporting! Keep going to more races!

[@4_14_fan]

Noah Gragson holding the top spot for a while during this video was pretty cool, I'm hopeful for him today

[@davideneix9702]

Nice to see you getting face time with the drivers, Eric. Keep up the great content and work!

[@monsterouseggman627]

Bubba has won here before and Christopher nabbed the pole so they are definitely going to change their bad luck around tomorrow 🏁

[@marcusvillarreal]

I hope so too

[@twoblacklabs904]

Bubby needs a win badly. I’m pretty sure the Toyotas will be very strong.

[@marcusvillarreal]

@@twoblacklabs904 Yes plus Bell is on the pole for tomorrow's race

[@cloud1173]

Hey if you look at lap averages from practice, you will see that the top three from last weeks Dover race are the same for this weeks lap averages. Would not be surprised if they are top three in this Kansas race.

[@marcusvillarreal]

@@cloud1173 hope so too

[@rowdybusch2332]

Go rowdy go Bubba

[@Landmasters]

Next week if possible -Check with McDowell and ask if the Ford partnership is pressuring him and the team to be more aggressive versus playing it safer like the past few years -Gragson on how different things are at SHR versus LMC last year, taking over for Almirola, massive rebound -Hocevar shocking everyone with his performance in that 77 after how rough that team struggled last year with Ty Dillon -Zane Smith on what is to be done with that 71 team, after pulling out a Top 10 in the 38 last year with the Coca Cola 600, talks with Trackhouse

[@428eliminator3]

Ricky sounds like a boy whistling while walking through a cemetery at night, pretending he's not afraid.

[@tripp6661]

Love the pylon reference 😂😂

[@kevinm5327]

Eric, hope to see you at the race!

[@drumsofberk]

Well timed video to see who qualified where for the Top 10

[@gr8aquino]

SHR has crazy talent & great equipment even with the Ford struggles. There’s NOTHING surprising about any of their driver’s seasons so far. Victories & titles are expected at SHR each season.

[@terrigoggin4443]

I love Eric!! He is one of a kind!!!

[@seen48]

Super impressed with the SHR teams this year. Amazed and happy that Ty Gibbs has been so mature since his very first race. Really hope the 47 team gets some sponsors lined up and for some multiple year deals maybe…writing this post race and Bubba got caught up in some things, and it was the best finish in the history of NASCAR! I won’t spoil it if you have not seen it yet.

[@SergeantMassonFan]

Stewart Haas Racing Is Awesome

[@leerjet31]

Noah will be the stand out for SHR for years to come

[@MANlNBIACK]

I’m so happy for Gragson. As a Gragson fan boy this is refreshing. Finally got some momentum. Now he needs the SHR of old now. However like I said give it time.

[@MagnusOpite34]

Damn I didn’t know you were here at the track. Hope to run into you tomorrow Estepp. Been watching your KZbin for years man. Keep up the great work

[@jackthegamer180]

glad JTG extended their contract with stenhouse

[@johnhaas2523]

Might be a different name next year with Brad and Jordan Smith

[@big3dp588]

Yup eric

[@dougbrooks7681]

I think you Eric would be a great Fox sport s announcer

[@kdrewmorris]

I really think Almirola was a negative for SHR's competitiveness. Sure, he brought in some good $$ with Smithfield, but SHR improving the culture/teamwork while losing Harvick seems to me that Almirola wasn't bringing a ton to the table

[@ShanGamer1981]

Amirola was ok but noah is gonna win in the future

[@DriftlessWarrior]

@@ShanGamer1981 That is a given. ;)

[@SergeantMassonFan]

Almirola Was Terrible

[@IceCar420]

I watched this after the Kansas race and it's easy to see both Gregson and Briscoe are the best drivers over at SHR and the happiness definitely helps. I Don't know if it was Harvick, Bowyer, or someone else but they said how Gregson is looking like the driver he was at JRM. How his team has noted how happy and fun to be around. Going into 2024 I would of gave Gregson the same results as the 10 the last few years and it's been anything but.

[@Carsboy95]

stenhouse not answering questions about Kroger tells me that Kroger is leaving jtg

[@PinMonkey1960]

He basically said he can’t. Drama queens find that hard

[@bobaboey7073]

Great content as usual

[@bearmarsh6579]

Congrats...Ricky Stenhouse Jr on your extension.

Gotta love a good scoring pylon you can just turn around and look at

[@DewkChronic]

Go Eric Man

[@redknightsr69]

Damn that scoring pylon is handsome

[@bamaboy21958]

Tony says NO charters are for sale….. period! We’ll see

[@Itsgamingtime11-co5kp]

If they do sell, I bet it’ll be The 41 car

[@Farkle_8000]

That's what Chip Ganassi said but then Trackhouse knocked on their door with an offer they couldn't refuse

[@johnhaas2523]

Well Tony might be selling none and Gene sell the 41 and the 10 and Tony have his 2 cars the 4 and 14 since them are the cars he owns

[@Itsgamingtime11-co5kp]

@@johnhaas2523 they wouldn’t give up the 10 because Gragson is doing arguably the best out of all SHR cars

[@DriftlessWarrior]

@@Itsgamingtime11-co5kp And bringing sponsors.

[@scrick7112]

Ricky says they want to focus on running well. What does that mean?

[@Oliverandsteven223]

SHR rankings: 1. Gragson................Briscoe......Berry............................................................................Preece

[@AmericanPoliceCams]

If SHR would switch Custer and preece, they'd be way better off right now. Preece has had a couple of chances in cup and has never won. Custer was there for 3 years and at least has a win by out driving truex at Kentucky

[@kylebuschfanroadto]

Fair but it was the 550 Package era

[@darthhull85]

He won but largely he ran like Preece does. They both aren’t going to be cup stars.

[@DriftlessWarrior]

Really on the fence on this one. All I can say is that I like both drivers and want them to be successful.

[@AmericanPoliceCams]

@@DriftlessWarrior same here but Custer deserves a fair shake. Preece has had a few chances and done nothing in cup.

[@AmericanPoliceCams]

@@darthhull85 I think Custer could be. When he started they were changing the car to this car and you have to give them a chance to learn the cars cause their so different. Preece has driven every cup car almost lol and ran the same. Custer is a flat out get it gut and this car fits him so well I think.

[@rattlejuggalo13]

What's that TALL thing behind you? Is THAT one of those ELUSIVE scoring pylons that I've ben hearing about? LOL

[@ShanGamer1981]

I see kroger jumping ship on the 47

[@timothyfundin8933]

Briscoe in a Cummins hat... SHR switching to Dodge confirmed?!?

[@johnhaas2523]

Dodge isn't returning How f****** uneducated are you

[@RileyHerbst98]

The Bots are coming towards Eric for no reason 😢

[@Itsgamingtime11-co5kp]

Can we talk about NOAH FREAKING GRAGSON beating Larson in qualifying!? Also yes, I think right now, SHR is one of the best Ford teams, aside from Penske with Ryan Blaney

[@brandondavis8790]

It's not shr as a whole just Gragson and Briscoe while berry and Preece are mediocre week after week

[@leejefferson5373]

⁠@@brandondavis8790Berry is usually better at the short tracks, so hes kinda defendable, but yeah Preece and the 41 are definition of mediocre.

​​@@johnhaas2523He isn't wrong though shr will only get only on average 1-3 wins from here on out per year as long as they keep performing the way they are so no it's not a joke but it's funny how you call every prediction people make for the future a joke or call them a clown like bro your nobody's boss around here let people have their own prediction this isn't the get down and suck on John Haas dick comments section and call him King it's called a fucking comments section on a KZbinr video covering a motorsport get that through your stupid head and realize that
