Byron wins Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway after Chastain wreck
"Opportunity knocked and William Byron kicked the door down, taking advantage of a late race kerfuffle between leader Ross Chastain and Kyle Larson as they battled over the same real estate on the track and both crashed, bringing out the caution. Baron surged ahead on the restart, driving away from Kevin Harvick to win the NASCAR Cup Series race at Darlington Raceway. Harvick overcame a difficult running car to finish second, admitting that he didn't have enough speed to pass Byron on the final restart, finishing third was chase Elliott. I'm Jerry Jordan.

"Really good run that we can look at as far as the top finish because he hasn't really contended for many wins to this point. So I think that he saw the opportunity was right there in front of and then but it's great that we do hear him it's just that you have to understand it and put in perspective when we were talking to Julian because he didn't win again. Yeah, I got to take it with a grain of salt, which is much like my final question to you. Who's in your fantasy lineup for Talladega? I don't. This is when we get in this. And there's a lot of fun amongst us at NBC to see who does well. And pick that right lineup. But I look at this as a week to save the ones that I want to have every other week. But you look back and you think about it, it's pretty much a crapshoot anyway, but you look at people that have a good opportunity. I mean, you take someone like Corey Lajoie, Michael McDowell, you can make a lineup that you wouldn't have a lot of other places, even though they're very good race drivers, but you might not use them somewhere else, but you take that that there's a good chance that they, if they don't win, they can come out of there with a top ten finish. And you get points and you save some of your other top tier drivers for another day. All right, there you go. The Jarrett and associates perspective on Talladega, which we always appreciate. No money, bad on this week's race. No money battle this week. Yes. That's right. Take that advice as well from Jared and associates. Always love having you on the podcast DJ. Thanks for being here. Absolutely. Thank you, Nate. We appreciate Dale Jarrett for joining us on the NASCAR NBC podcast. Thanks to motor sports manager, Emily convoy, senior associate producer Aaron feldstein, and production assistant Zack tanza ready for recording this episode,

"I don't even know if you have a championship for at this point or have contenders for it. But are both of those guys still drivers, Belle and Byron that you would probably put as maybe favorites for making Phoenix at this point? Yeah, you know, when you look at it and I'll say right at this point in time, it's certainly Christopher Bell. You know, he made it there last year. And I think that he's capable of each and every week. You have to put Byron there simply because of, you know, winning a couple of races at this point and the strength of Hendrick motor sports that literally gives seems to give him an opportunity to win weekend and week out. Whatever type of racetrack that we may be on. So you have to give strong consideration there and if I were going to throw in another one, it would help but be Kyle Larson, but from that point on, gosh, I'm not sure that I think all four sponsor wide open, but Larsen is certainly to me making himself the favorite right now. But I would almost put Tyler Redick in there right now. We keep talking about Reddick and bail kind of being the face of the sport moving forward, the young guys that are that are there. And I can put, you know, I can add Byron in on that also. So these are three drivers that we expect to start racing for championships in that final race and this could be that year. You mentioned that you talked to some of the drivers DJ last week at the NBC sports NASCAR and NBC production days. Pre suppressed you. Bell had some interesting comments. Anything else that you took away from anybody that you spoke with in Charlotte last week? Nothing out of the norm from the drivers that spoke with or either listened in on interviews that they were doing and things that they had to say. I'm just always amazed at the conference and Joey Logano that he has in his race team and his self. And how they finished second in that race yesterday. I'm not sure, but that's what makes them championship contender if you're in and year out and a two time champion now of the sport. And they just don't give up and keep battling and finding a way to put their driver up there and then Joey Logano is just a bulldog. He gets it done, man. You know, he's just impressive. And then to listen to Kevin Harvick, talk about his last year and what this means to him and how he would like to go out. He's been impressive to this point as far as showing more speed and being up front more. And I think that we're only going to see that get better. So most of the other drivers that I listened and talked with had gathered them normal things to say, but those are the ones that kind of stood out. I agree with you. I mean, Logano keeps showing why he's the defending series champion, and a two time champion. And his kerchief Paul Wolfe, obviously made the shrewd strategy call that kept him out there at the end of the race at Martinsville and helped him get that second place finish, but I want to end their DJ because Logano was one of a few who also had a lot of comments about the racing at Martinsville. There's a new loan down force rules package this year that NASCAR has implemented on the shorter tracks like Martinsville Richmond Phoenix that is intended to produce more passing. But we heard some complaints from drivers who are unhappy about, I think, shifting to something that works them a little bit. I think the tires, they don't feel like are wearing enough. They don't feel like there's enough horsepower. And we heard Denny Hamlin and Logano were two of the more outspoken drivers. And Denny Hamlin says, and we got these cup cars and somehow, don't fall off a half a second and 80 laps, so it's just until we until we get lapped on variation,

Larson keeps Hendrick, Chevrolet in NASCAR driver's seat
"Count Russian picked up his first win of the NASCAR season holding off teammate and replacement driver Josh berry at Richmond Raceway. I felt like my race cars were really fast. All year long, so I knew we were going to have many opportunities to win. Martin took advantage of a late race spin by William Barnes, who led the most laps on the day, but it was very carrying out the Cinderella story as he subs for an injured chase Elliott. This stuff's hard, you know what I mean? These guys are so good. This is the best of the best. And you know, I don't think a lot of them have made it very easy for me coming in here, filling in for the 9. The Rookie driver has less than a handful of starts in the NASCAR Cup Series, and now he's runner up in Richmond, Jerry Jordan, Richmond, Virginia

"For Kevin Harvick. I know he's got three sets of three, right? That's crazy. Well, this was attractive for a long time. Everybody would like max out with three wins. I think they'll junior had three Kyle Busch has three. I think Harvick had three for a while, and then it was Jimmy Johnson had three. It was like everybody had three at this racetrack for a long time. It was like, man, everybody has three wins. Then Kevin just took off and it was like, okay, well, different stratosphere at this point. He did and he's got some momentum this year, so I wouldn't count him out this weekend. Yeah, no, for sure, for sure. He's been kind of there. You know what I mean? It's one of those things where I feel good about where he's at right now. The last couple of years of Stewart Haas racing was kind of one of those. I don't know, man. At this point in the year, but they've come out decent. So I feel like he's in a pretty good spot to succeed. Right. So you mentioned, we have an X Factor this weekend. We just don't know what to expect with the new rules in play. At the short track. The short short track. But yeah, so that's the thing. And I saw Denny Hamlin's quotes about it. He's excited. He has no clue. He feels like it could lead to a very exciting race with so many teams not knowing what to expect, not having a setup book, ready to roll for this thing. So it could be a situation where somebody totally knew hits on something or off the truck. And goes and succeeds. We could see a Michael McDowell win who knows. That would be cool. He's a hometown guy. Yeah. Yeah, totally. There's a lot of things to play. Anything can happen. And it's one of those things where until you actually see a few laps on the track with these cars, one, you're not going to know how well the cars are going to handle. And two, you're not going to have a good gauge on who has at least found speed off the truck. So it's a wide open field this weekend going to Phoenix. Definitely, definitely. Well, why don't we get some expertise in terms of, by the way, expertise? I feel bad for rowdy this week, because my gosh. Well,

"That's what he set up in the booth when he was doing the X feddy race. Yeah, yeah. I've got a funny story for you after we're off the air here. Remind me to tell you. Not related with Phoenix. Not for our listeners. It might get on the listener at some point, but this is off air for now. Wow, you got people throwing things at their audio devices now. They're like, no. What do you got, Toby? So besides Kevin Harvick, who do we got, that's pretty decent that we got to Kyle Busch has three wins, right? Yeah, Kyle Busch is good there, typically the Hendrick cars are pretty good there that ein car has been good there with Chase Elliott. He's not going to be there though, so maybe Josh Barry can sneak up there and surprise in his second start in the next gen car. Alex Bowman, that's his home track. He's good there. Yeah, Hamlin. I mean, there's lots of guys who've shown the ability to get it done here at Phoenix. So this is kind of a wide open thing, especially with the new package. We've got the new aerodynamic package. Where it's going to take away 30 to 40% of the down force. NASCAR says 30, I've heard Denny Hamlin say up to 40% down force will be removed. This is big. So we really don't know what we're going to see. But I do think with guys like Denny Hamlin, who were able to take care of their tires usually with a car that has less down force, they're going to be kind of slinging it out and burning those tires off. I think a Denny Hamlin could be a smart play this week. Logano has the most recent win there and he's got three in his back pocket two. Yeah. Yeah. It looks insane, by the way. Looking at a list of drivers with wins. It looks insane. You got two, three, 9,

"Okay. Hopefully. Amazing. I mean, I pulled it from TV. So you never know. That's a good point. That is a good point. Yeah, you've got to be careful with those. So second year in a row that William Byron has an early season win. Is he going to be out to lunch the rest of the summer now? I really don't think so, man. I mean, he this was a statement win for him. I mean, he was good all day long, had the fastest lap of the race by over a tenth of a second, which does not happen. In the next gen car. That does not happen. Joseph shrigley from toba Christa dot com actually looked up because he had a long stretch in the race where he had the lead and just did not relinquish it. Joseph got to thinking, what's the biggest longest lead somebody has had in the next gen car? Well, 217 and a half miles uninterrupted at the lead for William Byron on Sunday at Vegas is the most since the adaptation of the next gen car. Second most was Kyle Larson last year at homestead, where he led a 130.5 miles straight. 217 is a little bit more than 130. Yeah, that's a lot. What a dominant performance. Way of Byron had a really, really dominant performance in Sunday's race at Vegas. And man, I don't know, I feel you're wondering if he's going to be out to lunch because that's what happened kind of last year. You got that early man. He was an afterthought kind of after that. But I don't know, man. I really feel like he's got the confidence going. Like he was even close to the Daytona 500 win there. He was in the mix and the closing laps for the weird crazy stuff started happening. I just, I feel confident in him. I think this is the year he takes that extra step because the last couple of years it was like, okay, he was the guy that was outside the playoffs or right at the Virgil playoffs and then he was the guy that was winning races all of a sudden. I think he's the guy that wins races and looks like a championship threat. Like a legit championship threat. I have a question. So here in the early part of the season, we're seeing racetracks that we're going to see at the latter part of the season or the playoffs. And you always hear guys drivers crew chiefs, whatever. They always say, hey, you know, we got to take away something where we can learn for the playoffs. But you know this sport so much changes and happens between now and November that I just don't see that, especially with this car. Especially when you look at how this race played out in the spring last year, and then once we got later on the year, you just don't see the same results. You know what I mean? There's so much to change. We've never seen a dominant performance to this level in the next gen car. All year last year, we didn't have somebody run away like this. So it's one of those things where we won't really know. It's one of those things where you can guess and I still think Kyle Busch is my favorite to win the championship. Because I like how that teams come out strong this year. Like how you work that in, you almost forgot about them. He slapped the wall like two or three

"With Laura saint LA Bowman. Of course, totally understandable, given that Josh Barry had never driven a next gen car before in a Cup race. This was his debut at next gen, so finishing 29th, you know, like you said, he's just trying to move the ball forward, just keep the seat warm. And we learned today that Hendricks have to decide tomorrow on who's racing Phoenix because they have to put the seat in the car when it goes out the Phoenix. But I want to go back to what you said Kyle, about how it might be different for drivers today because we've seen this recently in 8 years ago, Kyle Busch broke his leg and had a foot problem after that Daytona Xfinity rec, he missed three months and he comes back and wins the championship in 15. I don't know how much sim work maybe played into that, but that's certainly I think a good kind of parallel to what chase Elliott's probably I mean it's pretty much the same generation even though a different car do you think that maybe bodes well for chase? Oh, definitely, definitely. Because we know, listen, we know how severe Kyle's injuries were. His injuries were to his lower legs and his ankles were, those were bad, bad injuries. Chase's injuries are to his lower leg. It's not into his foot. It's not into his feet. It's not into multiple bones. At least that's not been the report. It just seems to be the tibia, I guess. It's what they're talking. Now, I don't know how severe that is. Again, but it seems to be a little bit more concentrated in one area than what Kyle Busch's were. So I do think bodes well. For chase Elliott, to miss X number of races and be able to come back and get in that car and be able to go out. And listen, and we know he can go and win races, just like we knew Kyle Busch could. We're not talking about and I'm not this is not a criticism on any other team. But we're not talking about a Michael McDowell. We're not talking about an Eric Jones. We're not talking about some of these teams that can win races and have one races, but they're specific races. They don't contend week in and week out. We're talking about a Hendrick car and a driver that wins weekend or can contend weekend and week out. And even if you only give him 6 shots that went in the race, he's got a shot at all 6 of those, not like some other teams that just have a shot at one. I understand what you're saying too about the waiver. And I totally think, you know, 5 times most popular driver, they've given a waiver to virtually everyone who's ever applied for a waiver. I fully expect that they're going to regret this request from Hendrick motor sports for a waiver. And I'm with you. Like, I don't want to come off like Joe fan on SiriusXM NASCAR radio saying that these guys should be told what to do with every minute of their lives because they make millions of dollars driving a cup car. But I am curious Kyle, what do you think? This is what struck me about the chase Elliott news. So this injury happens Friday morning. And it happens in Colorado. Several hundred miles away from where Chase Elliott is practicing and qualifying a cup car the next day at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. So do you have any issue at all with the optics of that? I know that these guys should be allowed to live their lives, their professional athletes, and they have a lot of people depending on them, but on the other hand, they need the stress relief. They need to figure out how to maintain that mental physical health balance, but the fact that he's doing this and then we know he's flying like that night. Again, all the way to Vegas to do his primary job. Is there anything about that that might make you turn your head? Nah. No. Listen, and I know. Let me say this to you, Nate. Optics, and that's a great point. And that's a great point. The optics may not be good. You know what I mean? A completely understand what you're saying. But at the same time, at the same time, you know, it's Kyle Petty. And let's just put me. So Kyle Petty races at California motor speedway and you know, you do this. You do that whatever and I'm riding my motorcycle to the racetrack and I hit a slick spot and I go down and I break my leg. What the heck? You know what? That's what I do. I ride motorcycles. Tony Stewart, in between California and Phoenix, Tony's out in the desert, running one of his doom buggies or something. And he rolls it over and hurts his back or whatever. You know, my point is this. My point is this. It could have happened on Monday. It could happen on Tuesday. It just so happened to happen on Friday. You know what I mean? And that's where the optics, I agree with you. I agree totally, but it could have happened any day. It could have happened any day along that week. Did you expect him, and do we as race fans expect him to get back in his cocoon and go over to Vegas and just set in a hotel room and don't do anything because I don't want you to get hurt. I want you to get hurt. So you can't do it that way either. And again, again, again, again again. With the optics be the same, would we be having the same conversation if Kyle Larson had flown to Northern California and run a sprint car race and flipped it on Friday night, knowing he had to be in Vegas on Saturday to qualify his car. Would we be saying the same thing? And according to serious radio, race fans would say, thumbs up, dude. That's good. You know what I mean? We love Cal Larson. But it's different because it's snowboarding, it's different because of some of the subsets. So it's a perception. You know what I mean? The perception is, you know, it's snowboarding versus being in a race car when you get hurt. So

"Friday that chase Elliott has suffered a broken leg and a snowboarding accident was replaced by Josh Barry at this race. He's going to be out indefinitely. We think it's for sure going to be several weeks. What's your initial reaction to chase Elliott's injury and being out of the Cup Series for a while? You know, I don't know. And honestly, honestly, and listen, I've listened to I've listened to going to bike week and then riding back from bike week. I listened to serious radio a lot. And serious written NASCAR on Sirius. And I am fascinated at the thought process of a lot of fans. I mean, it's just, it blows me away, man. It's like, yeah, he doesn't need to be don't give him a waiver. He doesn't need to come back and be in the playoffs. That's not fair, man. If you get hurt driving a race car, it's okay to get away. If you get hurt snowboard and no. You know, you don't get to. You know, and it's just, so what's up, man? I mean, that's crazy. I look at it this way. And listen, you're talking to a guy that my whole career I rode motorcycles everywhere. Yeah, you know what I mean? And did all this stuff. So you drive a race car and that is your life. You know, I mean, that's what you do. But that's not necessarily your whole life. You know what I mean? You got to be able to step out of that sometimes. And you know, we praise, God bless the NASCAR fans. We praise Kyle Busch and Kyle Larson and all these guys that go out and raise 6 nights a week and wing sprint cars and go karts and midgets and whatever they want to race. But, you know, God forbid you can't go snowboarding and get hurt. You just can't do that people. I don't know. We all been, but Jesus can't do that. So I look at it as, yes, he should get a waiver. You know what I mean? Will he come back? How quick will he come back? We don't know the extent of the injury. You know, obviously, I had a compound fracture of my left femur. I was out for an extended period of time. His dad broke his leg. He was out for weeks. Daryl Waltrip broke his leg. We know that this is not something that you're going to jump back in the car in the next week and a half and especially just if we go by the amount of time a two or three hour surgery. Obviously this was a little bit more intense than just, hey, I twisted my ankle. I got to wear a cast for 6 weeks. It's a little bit more intense than that. And so I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn last night, so I don't know his medical condition. So I will say that. But the point is, I don't care how you're hurt or what happens. That's what the medical waivers for. Medical labor is for an injury and illness, a death in the family. Whatever it may be, man. That's what it's for. So I look at it more as how will that affect the team? How will that and you know, we're talking about Rudy and we're talking about talking about William and those guys. Josh, they're not going to just plug Josh in or whoever, and they're not going to just, those guys are not going to move the ball forward. Those are placeholders. That's all. That's all you're there to do. All Josh is there to do. Okay? Get in that car and drive to the best of his ability, not put it in the wall, not put it in a wreck, run as many laps as he can, and keep that 9 car in contention point wise and keep moving it forward. Keep moving it forward. That didn't work out for you today. But that's your job as a relief driver. That's just an unstated rule that that's your job. Don't go in the race. You don't have to be a hero. Just go do this. So how would the loss of chase affect these guys moving forward? Moving the ball. Now, in this day and time, maybe not as much as we think. Because even when the broke leg, you can set the simulator. Even with a broke loser, you can go through the data. You can go and you can break down a race and you can begin to move and maybe this makes this a better team long term because Chase has the opportunity to just be there mentally and not so much physically. Maybe he's has an opportunity to lead in God and put them in a different position later on. So I don't look at all things that happen. There's a story Chinese farmer. I don't know if you've ever heard it. And I'm not going to tell it here, but it's all about looking at it, it's a story about a Chinese farmer. And the point is, it's all about looking at anything that happens, whether it's tragic, whether it's whether it's joyous, but making a difference. You look at it and you say, okay? Maybe good, maybe bad. Let's just see how it works out. And that's kind of the way I look at Chase Elliott. Maybe bad in the moment, but long term, it may not be as bad as what we think it is. Casey Ross, or somewhat? Yeah. That's probably not what the Chinese farmer said, but somewhat of the same, the universe does what it does, and we just live in it and deal. And that's right. And we live in it, and we deal, and it's how we react to it. We make this a positive. You know what I mean? Are we just going to be woe is me? You know what I mean? And I probably shouldn't have said that because Chase is always what was me. You know what I mean? 'cause he's our own self. So maybe it's not case for us for a for him. Maybe this is a bad eeyore moment for him. But it's the same time. I do believe I do believe, you know, if I've got a driver, I know this. At the time I drove, if I had broken my leg and couldn't get in a race car for 6 months, but I had the opportunity to set my button to simulate her, I would have been in a simulator. I would have been in a, in the sim, trying to figure out how to make this car better for Kenny Wallace, who relief drove for us. And Bobby hill, and for different guys that drove for us, trying to make the team better. And I think Chase is a team player and that organization. I think that's what he'll do. I should mention reference Josh. That's Josh berry, who filled in for chase Elliott today. I didn't mention that he finishes 29th. Wow, Hendrick goes one, two, three, with Laura saint LA Bowman. Of course, totally understandable, given that Josh Barry had never driven a next gen car before in a Cup race. This was his debut at next gen, so finishing 29th,

"Our NASCAR NBC analyst Kyle Petty. We're going to talk about the race today at Las Vegas Motor Speedway for those of you watching the video version of this podcast. You can see that I am not my normal location in Charlotte. I am in an undisclosed location on the Florida Gulf Coast, south of St. Petersburg, where today's IndyCar season opener happens. So I am going to be relying on Kyle Petty to tell me a lot about tell us both a lot about both me and the listeners about this NASCAR Cup Series race day a bit Las Vegas Kyle. I saw about 5 minutes of this race. I'm going to be totally honest. So I know you watched it. I know William Byron won, let's just start your general thoughts about what we saw today at Las Vegas. The Chevys were strong, man. I mean, I was really surprised. I'm going to say this. I think when they drop the green flag, you know, it was William Byron's race for segment second segment. He and Kyle Larson, the Toyota's were better than what I thought they were going to be. I had kind of followed this weekend, I ended up going to bike week and Daytona, but I kind of followed and called a couple of people and stayed in touch and seeing what was going on. I think the Toyota's kind of struggled. And the short practice qualify on whatever. And Joey was good. And most of the time, you know, enjoy Logano sets on the fall. That's a sign, man. That's like the old Mac Ken's syndrome. When he qualifies in the top 5 or 6, he's going to be hard to guard. But watching the race, it was the wind affected the race. You know, and you know, they talked about it today and you hear it so much with these cars. You know, a 170, 80 miles an hour wind gust from 20 to 35 miles an hour. Listen, it's like airplane turbulence. Everybody wants to say, oh, it's like driving down the interstate. You pass fascinating. It's not, dude. It's like you're coming in on a jet airliner and you're landing and you get caught in a crosswind and there's a gust of wind. It upsets the car that much. So it was a basic, for me it was a typical Las Vegas race. You run it until the last 5 or ten lamps, I think they've had multiple cautions over the years in the last 5 or ten laps. You get a caution. And then it's a different race. You know, if we hadn't had the last caution Kyle Larson wins the race, and he and William Byron arguably, the two best cars. So it was just a typical race. I didn't, there was nothing special to me. I'm sorry. I will say that this, I kind of consider this the first race of the season because it is a mile and a half. It's more in the Wheelhouse of what we're going to see all year. So I would take some notes on that and say, okay, this was a pretty decent race for just about every team out there, had at least one car that ran pretty good. All right, yeah, I definitely want to get a little bit deeper into that now that we've got a few races under the Cup Series belt here. We can kind of digest a little bit about what we think we've learned. And I also feel a little bit better that I wasn't the only one who was playing hooky this weekend in Florida that you got the bike week in Daytona. That's great. I, of course, was working. I mean, you were probably working too. Oh, you're saying I've been working. What are you talking about? I always bike week before we go back to Vegas. Tell me a little more about what make weeks like. All right, so by quick was great. I went down for an event called sons of speed. That a guy named Billy lane puts on Billie lane's a custom bike builder. And it's vintage motorcycle racing and you some murder. And let me take, they raced bikes. That were, they came off the assembly line for Harley-Davidson in 1909, 1909. So when I say vintage bikes, these bikes are a hundred plus years old, some of them were. For somebody who loves motorcycles, it would be like going back to Daytona and watching them run super birds. It would be like going to the beach and watching them run Hudson hornets. It was that kind of event. So for me, I was down there working it. I did some broadcasting for it and some. Yeah, some streaming for it and stuff. But it was a lot of fun. Listen, it's going to be a bit that I try to get to every year because I think it's grown first year. They had ten bikes this year. They had like 62 bikes. They've got big sponsors, northern tool and equipment. I mean, they've got a lot of people that have kind of bought into this over the last four or 5 years. So this is something that was really cool. It really was for me. That is cool. That's cool. I'm glad you got down there. And sorry to make the improper assumption. You're always working. So working something. And I know you're really enjoying it as well. So that's cool. And I hope to get the bike week someday too. Obviously, we had the Supercross race on peacock on Saturday night at Daytona national speedway. That's one of The Crown jewels of the circuit and I guess sort of like maybe one of the signature events that bike week certainly. Hope I get to see that someday. But as I mentioned, I was in St. Petersburg for the IndyCar season opener. I appreciate your summation. I also got some great notes from our producer Zach, Tanzania. So he's prepared me well. But I did see, as I mentioned, some of the race and I saw the most important part, which of course was, as you mentioned, Kyle, the final restart, where it's in overtime, and Kyle Larson has the lead when the yellow flies with a few laps to go. He loses the lead in the pits to William Byron and actually Martin Truex Junior takes the lead because he stays out while these other cars pit. William Byron wins the race, which is, I guess, good because he had the best car, led the most laps, but it was in doubt again until this final overtime restart. I guess my question for you, Kyle is, did it surprise you? I know this is an age old question, especially for somebody who's been around NASCAR's entire life like you, but why don't more guys just stay out when they know there are only two laps to go, provide there's not another overtime finish. Why don't you know there's only two laps left. Why didn't more guys stay out like Truex did? Yeah, and I'm always fascinated by that. Okay, I'm running tenth. I'm going to finish tenth.

"chase elliott" Discussed on NASCAR on NBC
"So you go to California with something that you believe in and you're going to stick you're going to stick with it most likely or some people build something like, oh, that's too big on experiment. We need to bail. And go to something that's more reliable, but yeah, alloy 20 minutes of practice doesn't seem like much. It still gives you some direction. And by the way, it's not enough. We can't have a series of red practices for 20 minutes every week. I mean, at some point, at some point, and I know this controversial conversation, but at some point, we've got to have some days where we have more practice. That's just my opinion. There's some value in practice, not just for the teens and drivers and some value for the fans or some value for building up the energy for the weekend. I mean, we are the only major motor sports that is doing this. That doesn't make it wrong. Less practice is okay, but we've gone pretty far. On one side of it. Yeah, it really stood out for the biggest race of the year last week where I was really scratching my head before the duels. What would be the right number, do you think? An hour? I think it's fine to do some races with 20 minute practices. I also think we need, you know, we need some events where you have a full hour or teams and drivers. We've got to remember this too, now because we're also developing the next drivers. We're the only sport, except for golf, but major sport, that you pull for a driver that's going to retire. The Dallas Cowboys aren't going to retire. And you're going to pull if you're a cowboys fan, although you may or may not like him as a player. You're going to pull for that quarterback. You're going to pull for that running back. You're going to pull for that wide receiver. Because they got the star on their helmet. Here, you pull for Kevin Harvick. You pull, and that's no disrespect to the owners. You just, it is what it is. You pull for chase Elliott, whoever he is. Well, he's going to retire. And he's going to be replaced by somebody. So we've got to find the more you practice and time, you pull away from these young drivers, the more less opportunity they have to close the gap. And that is a major part of our sport is finding the next round of drivers. It's constant. Almost every year we have a driver leave. That's probably an exaggeration, but we've got to have a way in which our young drivers are being groomed and they have enough time to be ready when that shot comes. It's really, really important. I hear you. And there were certainly some examples of some drivers who younger drivers who have persevered, despite the lack of practice in recent years. Corey Lajoie, he stuck out to me, ran top 15 consistently, came back from some early trouble finished 14th, in terms of other underdogs. I think we saw some people run at the front. RFK racing looks strong again, that a lot of people talk to Jeff about how this was the first race of the real season as they say. And like you said, I don't know how much you can take away without practice and with fontan to sort of being a unique track, but what else stood out to you, both good and bad among teams. I thought that the Penske guys had good speed, and they just, I'm not a 100% sure what happened with legato, but he lost some late in the race. Blaine had, he got, he got damaged, sender got damaged. So they had some good speed, but didn't get the results that they had hoped to get based on the speed that they had Chase Elliott, chase Elliott, a champion, you know, running second is not great. It's a good sign because they really struggle toward the end of last year. That's good for them. Kevin Harvick. I'm just telling you he's going to be dangerous this year. There's a lot of question in my mind. He's going to be dangerous because Rodney childress has so much respect for Kevin Harvick that he brought in children is going to be his the best he can possibly be for Kevin Harvick to have a chance to leave full-time cup racing with that big trophy. Rodney and Kevin are coming into this year super, super hungry. This is not the hey, we're going to ride around retirement tour in a way that people make friends. That is going to be the opposite of that. They are on tilt their own full tilt. Martin Truex. So I know he finished 11th, but he was two laps down at one point. He won the won the clash. Didn't want to race all year, ran well last year, they had the wheel come off, but persevered and still had decent speed and came back and finished 11th. I mean, I know that again, it's not a great day for him, but then as we get deeper in the field, Harrison, the last third of the race, they had really good speed. They came over the top 15. That's an improvement for those guys on mile and a half for a young driver like we just talked about. Chase Briscoe is a surprise that he just they just didn't run well. And I was in person, so I'm not sure if they were having a mechanic. I don't know what was going on. But they just didn't have the speed that you expected. So you mentioned Corey Lajoie, you know, he was in a minimum of three incidents yesterday. I would, but listen to more his fault. He was in there digging and fighting with him and showing people, hey, we're going to be up front. Clearly, they've got more speed than they had last year. One of those incidents, I wanted to ask you about Jeff. I mean, I think it was the biggest yellow in California speedway history, like biggest number of Rex involved in that restart crash. There was a lot of discussion afterward from drivers. People would try to maybe pin it on Joey Logano and Joey Logano explained like, hey, the restart zone is longer now. And it's going to be different for us to judge off of our fellow competitors and the cars around us. Like, when to go into slow, that's going to take a little bit of adaptation time. What did you make of that? And the longer restart zone, if you have any insight into that for this year. Yeah, so I think that I think Joey got it exactly right. I think Joey didn't do anything wrong. I mean, I watch the restart. He left in the restart zone. The research zone is longer this year, most of the drivers wanted a bigger restart zone. So very enters the resource zone. He's in the resource zone still. He just went by the first line. He hasn't gotten to the second line. And he just now is accelerating. There went the second line. So Joey just went late in the box. And everybody behind him was trying to anticipate when that sort was going to be. This is a wreck that I've seen at California many times. This is not a new Rick. I've seen this wreck Ricky Stenhouse and I were talking about it last night. He's like, I've been in the same record. California. It gets more difficult. So the resource get more difficult on the tracks that the drivers are all on the same straight and they can't see around. So if you think about it where we have big polyps, we used to have an indie all the time. We've had a Pocono all the time, New Hampshire, places like that because the drivers can't see. If certain tracks are easier and you can see what's going on in front of you, so we don't get these polyps. The restart zone, yeah, I think it played a factor, but I also know that I've watched this wreck many times before with all different kinds of restart zones and all different kinds of rules.

That's been done in the first and the cup series since rosh benway racing team. You have some knowledge of two thousand five at the season finale at homestead miami speedway so just to give you a little context henrik has only been a four car team since two thousand and four so i one two three four finishing essentially seventeen years. I that they've been able to do that but you know what's your first reaction to that. When you hear the hendrick motorsports for the first time ever in what thirty. Seven years of history has a one two three four finish. Well i think about is two years ago when we were talking about. What's wrong with hendrick right. And we we. We had this expectation level of hendrik. That's pretty high. We expect to see them contending for championships winning the lottery to me to me. In the era that i raced in hendrick was the most dominant team out there and that faded faded over time and it was. They didn't jump right back into it. They had to work themselves back into it. And now here they are and they also invested you. Think about what they did. They invested in a lot of youth right so took brought a lot of young drivers and that has cultivated into a very young team with a lot of winners on it heading into right direction. This is the opposite of what we were talking about. Two years ago. I think hendrick motorsports is repositioning themselves to be dominant force. They won the championship last year.

Remember, he's ran second most of this race to Martin Truex Jr. So He's gonna have that track position and we're gonna learn a lot. Every crew chief will be making notes to see what Denny Hamlin's car does over this run. Absolutely will, by the way, another speeding penalty being handed out this time to Christopher Bell. He gets busted too fast on exit of the pit lane so Christopher Bell will fall to the tail into the field as we work caution with 72 laps to go in the stage. If you've got an insurance question, you could talk to a park Ranger. But the only quotes they'd probably give you would be about the beauty of a fallen leaf or ripples in a pond. Not the kind that could save you money on your policies. Or you could talk to your local Geico agent who's an expert navigator of the insurance landscape. They could use their expertise to guide you on ways to save hundreds on your policies while leaving.

"Brian Marine joins us by the way from Daytona. So what is your scheduled in? Ryan? I mean for you personally. You take a break or you are a quote unquote off the clock win or do you stay? Or is this an endurance race for you as well? It is to some degree, but we have a team that covers this unusually. It's a team of us on site right now. I'm the only representative of our outlet. On site. We've got somebody covering from Chicago and then another staff member who actually lives in the U. K. And that actually is a huge help because when it's the middle of the night for us, it's now the afternoon or late morning, at least for for him so he can kind of take over. Give those of us based here in the states a little break and I do plan on going back to the hotel on getting I don't know, two or three hours of sleep at some point here. In the next few hours or so and then coming back and trying to be the refreshed take it through to the end of this thing, the notable names Ryan Marine you are watching in this event. Who and what are the story lines so far or Is it kind of too early to really know what's going to shake out. It's too early to an extent, but you can see the Web starting to come together. You can see the threads of this narrative starting to build and as far as names go, it all starts with the reigning NASCAR Cup series champion. Chase Elliott, who is driving a sports car for the first time. He sat in the thing for the first time just over a week ago, as a matter of fact, and he's out there. Jimmy Johnson, who is transitioning from NASCAR to Indy car This year. He's out here running in an all Star car that includes time passion. Oh, former IndyCar champion and Indy 500 winner. You've got Alexander Rossi out on track right now. Running in third. Scott Dixon was battling for the lead just a little while ago. There are some names that race fans of all stripes they're going to recognize and then some of the best of the best in sports car racing. The leader right now is Japanese driver who had some F one experience community. Kobayashi. Who is a nabs salute, stud in a prototype, and that's what he's driving right now out in front. I think they think that's been most interesting to this point is the attrition level has been surprisingly low there 49 cars that took the started only three around at this point, and that's AH, bit of a surprise, especially Wouldn't some of the storylines coming in work concerns over attrition, Um, with some inexperienced drivers. Quite a few of them in the race this year, wasn't Kobayashi won that the fellow's name that was Joey Chestnut's nemesis. With that, Kobayashi. You're right. This is a different Kobayashi. Are you sure this because I think he bailed on the hot dog deal, right? Didn't he, like, get upset one day and leave. I think you're right. Do we know? Is he driving the Oscar Mayer? Is it? Is it the winner? Car? Is he out there in the Oscar Mayer Wiener car? Have you checked? I have checked it. It's not the winner that that thing If you've got 24 hours to get it, going the Oscar Markov rockets and giddy up, right? Now, the good the hides catch up car.

When my brother who's your race car driver, Brian Claussen tragically died in a racing accident. He became a hero because of his decision to be an organ donor. That decision has inspired countless others to do the same. He didn't just give somebody It's hard. There were several people that were recipients of him and that that's powerful NASCAR champ Ryan Newman sat down with Indiana donor network and shared how signing up to be an organ donor is bigger than one person. I mean to think about.
