When he dominated more than half of the race in Martinsville, he just led a handful of laps in Darlington, until the last pit of the race resolved beyond the race leaders. Number 11 Team is one of the fastest on Pit Road, which uses an interesting back and forth with jack to move around the car.

Lost: Larsen rotates twice and leaves empty handed

Between the warnings and slow pits stops of the sick time, Blane found himself fighting himself through the ground for the race. He finally gained an edge with less than five time to go for the first time, but suddenly cautious again removed his hopes. He lost several spots on Pit Road and finally managed the fifth.

Losers: hate ‘throbac weekend’

Chase Elliot was one of the more vocal drivers later this week, but when it comes to the concept of throbac weekend, it was not the only one. The consensus between some drivers is that it has run its course and should be overcome. Although it is true that only half of the cup series participated and some sponsors are finding them in the way to participate, much higher than the ‘throbac weekend’ paint plans. It is about respecting the history of the game and whether three or 30 teams participate, it does not change how important it is. Neser Hall of Famer Carl Edwards The green flag was waved, Richard and Kyle Petty joined the broadcast booths to share the stories and the historic race cars were paraded around the track. This is a great tradition and should continue. Yes, most clear throbac thoughts have been made for death, but still, teams like Wood Brothers were coming with unique ideas. And as long as it continues to honor the past actively, the throbac weekend has a place in the naskar.
