I hear a lot of people keep saying that things fell Shane‘s way last year in Chicago when it comes to strategy which is the exact opposite of what happened. As others have mentioned below, the shortened race put everybody at the front back in the field because other guys had already pitted before NASCAR called it. Shane was back to 18th with only 20 laps to go. he then had to pass 18 cars in under 20 laps to get to the front and win. Then when you finally got in front they called a caution just before he passed Hayley, so we then had to go back to 2nd and do that overtake again. Then he got out in front was driving away, and then they pulled another caution so they brought him back to the field again. He still then drove away and one under the green white checker process. Nothing went Shane‘s way last year but still managed to get the win, and in the process he said the three fastest laps of the race, with his fastest lap being almost a second faster than anybody else on the day. if he gets a decent car in both races and it doesn’t fall apart on him, or someone doesn’t deliver wreck him, I think he could be fighting for the win. Man, I hope he does because it would just be amazing if he won again. Thanks for your program guys. It’s great to listen to all the way over in Australia. Hope you enjoy the weekend. :-)

SVG going to sweep the weekend but Dinger going to give him a run for his money in both races!

From my memory, Ryan is correct about COTA Xfinity race. Stage 3, SVG caught, passed & pulled away from AJ.

My prediction SVG will run top 5 in both and pick up one win. I also see AJ getting at least x1 really good result top 3. SVG picking up some Xfinity playoffs would b3 very helpful.

Justin Allgaier gave a great press conference today talking about data and Shane’s advantages at this track. Like you guys said let’s hope his car is competitive.

cool thing is his red bull chief from australia helped setup the trackhouse car last year, so he has some info available. but i think he has a huge target on his back and someone will crash him, hope im wrong.

If you guys are scared, get a dog. Let's call for the SVG sweep! Listen, as you guys said, the ciup cars are spec cars and they're only a few tenths apart. Drivers can make a huge difference, you mentioned the strategy potentially helping SVG. That was 100% not the case, with the rain shortening he got pushed back to like 18th or something. And he literally passed all those cars to take the lead. No one else even came close to passing a third of the amount of cars he passed. He won two of the three road courses in Xfinity this year, and was one of the best two or three cars, and was the best car at the one he lost. Svg is the betting favorite on Sunday, and it's probably going to be the betting favorite on Saturday. So if he's everyone else's favorite, why isn't he the favorite of the two guys who are fans of him? Stop being a bunch of weenies

Things falling Shanes way. Sitting on wrong side, gear lever on wrong hand, shunted from 5th to 18th, passes everyone the pushed back to 2nd, hits the front again and oops restart again then finally fell over the finish line yep you guessed it in the lead whew slip sliding away.

Things didn’t fall SVGs way last year. Having to pit after the race was shortened put him back to 18th. He drove through the field. Definitely a come from behind win 🏆

Ryan is correct. SVG had passed AJ and had it in the bag when the first caution came out with 3 1/2 laps to go. The last caution was the incident with Austin Hill. Both Kaulig drivers got penalties during that phase.

Have no fear Aj and Svg are here! ….And josh

Top 5 for AJ and svg. I really do expect svg to be pushed this weekend. I still think he has some advantages with set up and tire management due to his street track experience. His disadvantage is knowing exactly where the left side of the car is to the wall

Sensible predictions. A lot has to go your way to win a race in Nascar.

It's been rumoured that Shane has been in a Trackhouse Cup car this year. I've just watched Shane's pre-race press conference and he mentions Travis Mack coming to 'the shop' to help prep the car, then the car leaving in a Kaulig truck. Sounds like it is a Trackhouse car to me.

Predictions on where they will place is funny. Svg wins both.

SVG wont win in the no16 car...maybe if he were back in the 91 he would have a stronger chance.

Shawn... do you do any research? You say the kaulig car not as good as a trackhouse car yet it finishes 2nd. I like how you think 1 street race experience and you think all the other drivers are up to his street course experience. Any reason you can find to not get behind shane has now lost this channel a follower

Shane to sweep

What wrecks they just bounce of tyre barriers and keep going

SVG will do it easy unless he gets smashed by someone. Nothing fell his way . Are you guys joking? Coming from 18th? Sitting on the wrong side of the car?had never driven a nascar before in his life!😅😅😅😅. Qualified #1 already. 😅😅😅😅
