Leigh Diffey was fantastic. He did amazing research, sounded like he knew what he was doing, and that guy could make professional sweater knitting sound exciting.

[@BigPapi76]

Diffey was very good and enthusiastic. Liked him doing IndyCar and wish he was still with them as well.

[@drewcook851]

These guys saying that they are okay with what happened with the 62 would have been the first to complain if the 42 or the 10 pushed the 1 to a win

[@paulkribbs1701]

Somebod6 said SVG has been recently running the #888 overseas so that's why the #88 relates to him,also

[@frankly88]

no he use to race for triple eight race engineering. That team has historically used car numbers #88 #888 and then added #97 when shane joined in supercars But when he raced over seas for their AMG endurance GT team where they have pro/am drivers in the car he was racing the number #888 but that was over 2years ago

[@skeleguns10oooooo10]

I think it’s time to just remove the fact that wins will lock in. Now have to be in the top 16 in points to get in.

[@coreymoore01]

I could see Ryan Truex getting a chance with 23X down the road.

[@pjacquesracing]

Even though it was slightly different circumstances, the last "non superspeedway/drafting track" flip, was Chris Buescher at Charlotte in 2022.

[@SergeantMassonFan]

Ryan Truex Is Awesome

[@ericmicke4130]

Now I just want JGR to put Ryan full time in Xfinity and have Martin run some races for them so we can get them in equal equipment racing each other. Do this at Dover and New Hampshire, their home tracks. There's plenty of reason to hate the player 2 weeks ago. But now? Absolutely not. Harrison got the job done. He deserves what he gets because that's the system they race under. As fans we have the right to discuss whether it SHOULD be the system and that's what's happening. Unfortunately for Harrison and Wood Brothers it just makes it hard to truly give the love the moment deserves when you're aware of the glaring light it shines on the credibility of the playogfs.

[@chriswilgus4752]

I'd like to know everyone's view on restart issues. Brad kesoloeski got ripped on that issue last Saturday. The restart zone is not good for racing

I still think. First 10 winners your in. Last 6 spots are for the highest pointed drivers. Or it could be 8 in 8. If you are not one of the first winners to get in and get a win. You need more points to get in the top 6 or 8 in points.

[@daniel-K-L]

As far as the Playoffs go, there's no difference than most sports. Take the NFL as a comparison, if you win your Division as a 7 and 9, or 10 team, then you get a Wild Card spot, that's what the 21 did. They grabbed a wild card spot. It is what it is!

[@7sins435]

not only is burton dead last in points among full time drivers but Bubba & Chastain which may miss the playoffs have over DOUBLE the points as Burton.

NASCAR is the only series with a , "Playoff" that's not auto racing if a guy runs consistently the entire season well then he deserves it. This WWF shit is ridiculous and that's why we won't have NASCAR in a few years

You are 100% correct, nascar is not a game.

I’m sorry but changing and tweaking the playoff is like two people argue about whether a house should be made of wood or brick and I’m telling them the house has a foundation built on quicksand. No matter what you use, it isn’t gonna work. We need to go back to a season end championship. Plain and simple

I'm an oddball out in the Leigh Diffey debate. I think his voice and accent is better suited for F1, IMSA or INDY, but I realize being southern, I am biased and networks probably have to consider a more "national appeal".

[@terks43]

The "playoffs" shouldn't exist at all. 36 races. Whomever is the best over 36 races should win the championship.

[@RFHDixie]

Spot off. What happens if a driver wins the Daytona 500 and then does horrendous the rest of the year. Can still be locked in for a win and go to the playoffs. To put some restrictions on it about what position you have to be in points just because it happened at this point in the season doesnt carry water in a bucket.

I can’t believe people are saying Harrison “deserved” that win, what a bunch of bull! He was lucky to be in the right place at the right time. NASCAR needs to apply the “win your in” AFTER the playoffs start so you have a competitive field. Harrison won’t make it pass the first round. 😠

[@hunternixonfishing2500]

If they didn’t change it after the 2020 season and the farce that was they won’t do it now this is what nascar wants

[@mlstrib]

The ackshual* problematic system here y'all daggumit is full contact racing. It's unsafe and expensive and stupid. Stages, The Chase, Green/ White/Checkers will all work better if full contact racing is adequately discouraged and officiated. NASCAR's choice is, do they install instant officiating as a race-by-race and game-by-game intrical part of the sport? Full contact racing is NASCARS identity, I get it, and it creates much of the engagement that pays the bills now, but if NASCAR chooses yes on big boy officiating, 'racing refs/umpires/officiating crews' would also make decisions that drive engagement and content. Maybe more content and engagement. I think more. The NFL, all major sports.. own their choice to aggressively and regularly officiate, its part of the game and they use this to their advantage. No reason NASCAR cannot do this too. I dare to say NASCAR drivers gain more credibility and become more highly skilled when they're scrutinized and heavily officiated and have to drive more precisely. I think this is great for the sport. Pull the damn trigger NASCAR.

[@TomLehockySVK]

There is NO legitimacy with a play-off system. You can win 35 races, but if in the 36.th a different driver finishes ahead of that driver, then those 35 wins meant nothing.

[@korbinsworld24]

NASCAR could run a street race in the city of Toronto, Indy runs the street course every year instead of Montreal road course

[@cseabrook3]

You guys just fucking did it to my phone ffs 😂

[@e4300]

This video explains the obvious. Nascar isn't about real hard racing, it's about following team orders. Ross, Kyle, Bubba already had plenty of opportunities to win and get in the chase. These people complaining are childish. The 62 car had zero chance to get behind the 8 car. 62 wanted to finish as good as possible. You guys should listen to team radios, Way more radio talk to take it easy and lay low as opposed to telling the driver to run hard and don't let up. In all reality it's not hard racing.

[@TonyKiv]

Freddie said it perfectly at the 44 min mark. Parker is supposed to race 100% of HIS ability to get himself the best position possible. If he doesn't and backs off because of some stupid team orders then that is against the integrity of the sport. Then we became the same as F1 and their bs team orders. Great win Harrison, great job pushing him Parker. Awesome show once again!

[@coreymoore01]

While RCR might not like what Parker did - I guarantee you other teams took notice and he earned their respect.

[@chrebetcrunch]

Under the old rules Burton would have to be at least 30th in points, but NASCAR changed that, which enable the worst full time driver in NASCAR to get in the playoffs. No driver has been worse than Burton over the last three years, and he was 34th in points, but look at what NASCAR did.
