The entire

garage just pushed the No. 43 car to the front of the grid in solidarity with
@BubbaWallace
before today's race.
Bubba is in tears and being hugged by each driver, one by one.

@Blaney
is now standing next to Bubba for the national anthem.
The rest of the entire garage is still behind the No. 43 car on pit road, standing as a collective unit.
The
#NASCAR
family. What a scene.
My god there is so much going on here:
• The actual bump & run for the win
• The post-race swerving
• The burnout right in Love’s FACE
• Love confronting Smith
• Then being PICKED UP and taken away

The No. 5 pit crew who nailed that final pit stop

:
Front changer: Donnie Tassler
Rear changer: Calvin Teague
Tire carrier: RJ Barnette
Jackman: Brandon Johnson
Fuelman: Brandon Harder
Unofficial time of the pit stop (via

These 4 powerful images are what I think I'll wind up taking away from this 2020

season.
Lotta ups and downs throughout, but getting the full schedule in amid the pandemic shouldn't be understated. Huge accomplishment.
Not cool man. That’s hella dangerous, straight up disrespectful and has no place in professional sports. Glad

@BubbaWallace
with some reflection on his IG story after the 2023 season ⬇️
🗣️ “To my peeps out there staring at a blank wall, I’m with you. Tomorrow is another day. Another opportunity. Keep after it.”
I hadn't seen the in-car footage of
@Alex_Bowman
in the driver seat following his Texas wreck. This is while sitting in his pit stall for repairs.
@NASCARonNBC
just showed it on Countdown to Green on NBC.
Clearly in visible pain. Tough to watch.
Ryan
@Blaney
said his dad, Dave, was in the grandstands at Atlanta today, which is also the 20-year anniversary of what was his best shot at winning a Cup Series race before a loose wheel ruined his day.
Ryan said he'd get one back for him, and he delivered. Pretty cool.

💭 "We are legit leading laps in this race. I would have never thought. The 'ole Hellman's Chevrolet is good!"

Three straight top 10 finishes to open up the year. He had ZERO back-to-back top 10's in his 13 years and 350+ races prior to 2021.

was shook that the media was talking to him for so long post-race. He thinks he’s boring.
💭 “You got the most popular kid in school (Elliott), baby Jesus (Byron) and Kyle Larson, the best race car driver of our generation. I wouldn’t wanna talk to me either.” 😂

Cup Series schedule will consist of races on:
• Short tracks
• Intermediates
• Superspeedways
• 2-mile ovals
• A damn triangle
• A dirt track
• Road courses
• A street course

A look at the special M&M’s pace car that’ll lead the field this weekend. Still hard to believe this is their last race with
@JoeGibbsRacing
and the No. 18.
Kyle Busch seemed annoyed at the $50K bounty placed on him.
When asked what he'd get if he wins the races: "I don't know. probably nothing. As usual. Sounds like life."
"Put money on a bounty on somebody and there's bad things that tend to happen."

@KevinHarvick
on shortening races:
💭 "I don't think any of us want to race 500 miles anyway [...] they, to me, seem like a thing of the past."
On stages on road courses: "We need to figure out how to not throw cautions. We have enough natural cautions that come with it." 👏🏼
An emotional

to his driver

over the radio post-race: "I appreciate it Alex. 5 years ago I lost my mom."
💭 "It's been a heck of a journey, Greg. I appreciate all your hard work. Redemption here to win today."

@tydillon
is kinda mad he didn't get a stage interview from NBC so he's doing one on his own radio.
Just thanked Bob Germain, his family and GoPro for letting him run in the rain late last night 😂
.
@KyleBusch
on doubleheaders:
💭 "We don't need to go to any race track more than once. Spread the wealth. That's my opinion."
He likes Dover giving up a date to Nashville, calls not going to Chicagoland "dumb" and not a fan of not going to Kentucky, either.
🗣 "I've done it before. I'm a hypocrite." -

The defending Cup champ says his feelings on
@RossChastain
's Hail Melon are unchanged. Calls it "badass" & he commends Ross for having the balls to do it, but says it's "unfair" and "takes no skill" to race like that.
The Noose Hate Crime Act of 2011: Amends the federal criminal code to impose a fine and/or prison term of up to two years on anyone who, with intent to harass or intimidate any person because of that person's race, religion, or national origin, displays a noose in public.

Doesn't make any sense economically for two Monster cars in the exact same Xfinity Series race at Martinsville.

Burped into the mic, making car noises and is in his full 2021 glory. It’s phenomenal.

@KevinHarvick
will make his 750th consecutive Cup start 🤯
He'll become the 3rd driver in NCS history to reach the mark (Jeff Gordon, 797 & Ricky Rudd, 788).
Come Sunday, it'll be 7,623 days since he missed a Cup race (April 2, 2002 at Martinsville).

on himself: “I’m a dick all the time. You know how I roll. What you see is what you get. If I don’t like you, I’m not going to talk to you.” 😂
And funny (yet brutally honest) exchange on
@PardonMyTake
from the champ on why most seem to dislike
@joeylogano
:
💭 "I don't even know what to say between crappy parts, tires exploding & all the bullshit we're dealing with, it's a joke."
🗣 "There's a lot of people who make a lot of money to do this and get this stuff right. That's all I'm gonna say about it."

Seriously can’t believe we got ALL 500 laps in. Didn’t think we’d get any.
Thanks for playing along nicely this time, Mother Nature. It’s appreciated 😁

Cup Series debut for
@TeamTrackhouse
in the No. 91 this summer at Watkins Glen.
💭 “I wasn’t looking to race again, but Justin came to my home in Switzerland and convinced me how serious he was about putting together a top-notch program."
Larson couldn’t go any higher or leave JHN any more room. He literally hit the wall coming off Turn 4 and the No. 20 was there when the No. 10 bounced off.
Nobody’s fault. Damn good racing for the win.
