McDowell is a stud. Dude is still 17th in traditional points haha

@@EricEstepp McDowell is the GOAT. He drives the best number in my opinion (34) and won the 500. What a legend

34 definitely having a career year. Its cool to see.

@@SamWilliams78 yea lots of 34s :)

what does stud mean?

I really wanted to see someone else win but if it gets Dillon out of the playoffs that's a gift that keeps on giving.

Kurt Busch is a way bigger name though. It was surprising, but not insane. Would have never in 10000 years put money on Almirola

@@tylerandfriendsgaming1546 he his out of the playoffs currently

@@dracowen1332 I know Dillion is out but I didn't wanna see Almirola in though either.

@@tylerandfriendsgaming1546 Dillon got massively screwed over by Spin Houff. I hope he gets a win at Daytona

Makes me wonder what’s gonna happen at Daytona lol cause that is going to be a race.

Crazy season also go Chase!

They don't call him the Cuban Missile for nothin' that sounded dirty, I'm sorry

@@jordandrye350 yah boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooi

We need some more winners, Harvick, Reddick and Chastain would be cool to see win

Lol, yeah, he wrecked a lot in it.

4 joe Gibbs car spun 2 wrecked this race 23XI is Joe Gibbs too don't forget Bell got 2nd place tho

Best part of the race. LOL

Kyle wrecked himself and so did Truex.

@@ethanweeter2732 race should have been red flag before

McDowell>Almirola still in my opinion. I loved that upset

McDowell was definitely a bigger upset the 500 as a joke I picked McDowell to win my brothers told me I was crazy when race was official I felt so confident becuase a goat pick

At the time, McDowell's was bigger. But Almirola's is the upset of the season. Reason being: McDowell has been running pretty well all year long. He's 17th in the normal points standings. That win was more a harbinger of decent consistency from the 34 than an earth shattering upset at this point (again, at the time, we couldn't have known that). Almirola is 27th. He's almost out of eligibility and won. He may have even saved his job. This is the 2nd biggest upset in the current format as far as points go at the time of winning. Buescher's Pocono win being the lone better one. (Not counting Spire's Daytona win, as they weren't eligible for the playoffs at the time)

I mean McDowell is way ahead of him in points

@@Crush1084 Spire? You mean Haley? I don't recall Spire winning a race.

Yeah AD tried to prevent another one like the 500 but Almirola was able to do it this time

@@Moon-light883 _yes_

he desereved to win because he sucked all season up until this race?

@@fivespeed42 team sucked

Agreed. He had a streak of how many top 10s last year? He's proven given the right car he can put together good finishes. He's no Harvick for sure, but he's improved a lot from years past.

@@WheelinWeenie I guess you got me there

@@fivespeed42 Car was fast though. This is why I hate win and you’re in. Beats the point of consistency and running well 80-90% of the races.

*smiles in Jordan Peterson*

They had plans to do it about 7 years ago but they fell through

They would have to get it approved by the community. When they built the track, the community would only sign off if the track agreed on no night races.

Yes, it was getting very dark at the track

I think all tracks on the circuit should have lights for this exact scenario. Especially if they insist on starting the races at 3pm

I’ve always said they should have night races at Dover & New Hampshire

Logano passed more cars, more times, than anyone.

Nah. Last time they threw a caution for a little bit of rain, at the Daytona Road Course, people bitched and whined and complained. Yesterday seemed to be a similar light rain until it abruptly began to downpour. Nascar thought it was probably just going to keep being a light rain that would pass over and the cars would dry off the track from racing at green flag speeds.

@@vidmasterK1 big difference between road course and a oval track.

As bad as SHR has been this year I'm inclined to agree with you.

🤣

@@joshiles This is why I am not a huge fan of the win and you’re in format. Almirola probably won’t make it out of round one though. Gets real come Darlington.

BOWMAN HAS A FIRE UNDER HIS ASS. he is a AWESOME CLEAN, Driver. AND he is showing us he is no Slouch. And he wants to show Mr H. And all us fans why he should be a fan of The Showman , he wants to best his teammates every week. I like that , BUT he should be a little more aggressive at times. And get better at side drafting for positions. If he could be as good as Elliot at side drafting. He could win a championship, and I'd love life !!!! 💯

@@Tow_Sr.I think he has a good shot at the title

@@Tow_Sr. what’s funny is that him and Martin truex are very similar. When they have the car THEY HAVE THE CAR lol. If he has winning speed he’s going for the win

@@timechanger9162 agree. Good comparison, MTJ doesn't ever just Send it !!! He is very clean also. But like you said there both Sharks , !!! If they have that speed. And they usually know it within the fist 20 laps. 💯🏁👍👍

@@BelowTheYellowLine agree. I would be so happy. For Bowman and Greg Ives. But Dam I wish he was still in the 88. That was his car. After Jr. IMHO JJ, 48 should of been the Car # to get put on ice. BUT I get it. ALLY IS ALL In on the sponsorship so if they want that 48 car on the track. Then he can drive any # 😁🏁🏁🏁 and I'm so happy ally is backing Bowman for multiple years. 💯

Yep, don't like the guy but very impressive

@@PhlippinPhil He's my favorite driver. Today was a good race cause the top 5 is filled with drivers I love and drivers I dislike had rough days

@@PhlippinPhil He's one of the most likeable drivers. Not too much of a kissass to the fanbase, and at the same time not too much of an asshole. He's got a nice balance. The least likeable drivers are usually the fan favorites.

@@captainnebulous2918 I wouldn't necessarily say a likeable driver but he is a likeable guy. I think all of these guys are likeable guys when they dont have their helmet on.

Loved that part, I was screaming at the TV/Dillon and hoping that we didn't have a repeat as week with the Busch bros

The TV networks are pandering to us folks at the west coast lol... sorry lmao

100%. I think the main reason Nascar didn't want to throw the red flag is because they started the race too late and they knew they wouldn't have time to finish it. And this was only a 300 mile race

@@johnhaas2523 that’s because NASCAR isn’t the powerhouse it once was. Go back to 2019 and look at all the empty seats at every race. Attendance has been a problem for years

Kyle Busch got what he deserved

Exactly!

Nah Ik he would perform good at the high horsepower tracks

Proves Dale Jr can be a commentator full-time.

Yes I thought so to but ruck Allen has a cool voice for that just like a Allen bestwick type. But use Allen as a pit road or a petty dj broadcast like the Hollywood hotel anyone remember that

Where was Rick Allen?

I am going to write this down

Might've saved his career

No kidding

Same, we are both kb fan

Got happy to Aric too

KB fan here too, Christopher Bell winning would have made up for it ...imo

I was still happy for Almirola, even if that team has sucked this year.

@Tabular Bike I’m a Chase fan and I was disappointed with his finish after a good run early on, but Almirola’s win made up for it lol

No kidding. Underdog drivers are rising up this year, and there has been many great moments. I hope the playoffs live up to it!

The Olympics are on

Due to the Olympic s

Oh, makes sense.

how about exactly two weeks

yeah I was sitting in turn 1 too, it was ridiculous, all the water kept draining out from the cracks no matter how many backpack blowers, track dryers, or sweepers ran over it, and I’m sure you saw every time a caution came out they had to bring the truck back to get rid of all the water that collected over there again. Sucks that I couldn’t hear the command, or even the engines firing up until they passed by in the turn

Only the first 8 laps was an embarrassment. The rest was a thumbs up. The beginning didn't ruin the entire race, as a race.

@@captainnebulous2918 Ask KB about that.

Not just wrecked Max out, got a 10 second penalty and smoked Lecerc out on the final lap and Red Bull and max's fans is still pissed but the entire British crowd was lit...

Same I just said this a few mins ago

@@f1champ551 football didn't come home but Lewis sure did 🤣 I was just happy Ferrari had a good day, well at least Charles did

@@joshandlena13 I mean this was basically a good pallet cleanser for England after the Euro 2020 finals... Damn I had to smh after that... Lewis Hamilton winning the British GP was just what they needed. The last race before this one I said on Motorsport.com Facebook page that if Lewis Hamilton had to win the British Grand Prix basically to save his season and if Max Verstappen were to keep this up this season is over.... Lewis Hamilton (controversial that may be) basically saved his season.

@@f1champ551 I mean.... British fans get "lit" about soccer so it doesn't take much!

Drivers who enter the playoffs 10th-16th will never win the championship don't care how many years it goes. They almost always are out 1st or 2nd round and as they should be. They weren't in contention all season but because the format allows 16 teams the media will try and convince you that Aric Almirola winning is important because he'll get to be in the playoffs. Who cares. He will be eliminated in the 1st or 2nd round and it will not have mattered. His win is important more because he's never won in the cup series on a proper racetrack but they don't even mention that. Always about playoffs blah blah.

@@lolimadethisvid Um...Newman in '14, and of course he didn't belong there whatsoever, when you only have to be good in one race all year anybody can get lucky, even talentless hacks can get lucky & snooker a win.

Nbc sucks, it’s so boring

@@threepea1151 Go watch your F1 then

@@threepea1151 Sure beats listening to Mike Joy every week. Mike should have stayed in the pits where he belongs. Never has been enjoyable as a lead.

@@captainnebulous2918 go eat soap

@@threepea1151 Wow.... someone's offended lmao

Looked pretty dark by the ending , watching it on tv and could clearly see lights on in the background around the track.

And the British in Silverstone was lit as hell... And I thought Nigel Mansell's wins in Silverstone in 1986 and 1992 when they are breaking ranks was too lit...

Yeah F1 had a rare day for them. The race actually had some action.

lol

Hamlin, Harvick, and Logano: 1 Almirola, McDowell, and Bowman: 5

Race wasn't shortened. I love the rain it's an act of GOD.

@@topjob1000 Yeah it was. The race went from 19 to go, to 10 to go. That's a loss of 9 laps.

Yes. There was so much crying from fans when they brought out the yellow at Daytona for a light rain. And it was apparent that yesterday they thought it was going to keep being a light rain that would soon pass over and the track would dry off quickly from green flag racing. The downpour was abrupt and sudden. Radar proves that there were random storms suddenly popping up and intensifying around the area.

👍🏽👍🏽

Watch it all being screwed because of playoffs dynamics

Lmao, this must be the only season of ASScar you've ever watched to make such a stupid remark

@@immortal5812 why?

Hes the next great star, i can feel it

Logano did the best racing after the worst luck.

McDowell would be 17th in traditional points aric was in the mid 20's this is a bigger upset

@@andrewputnam2717 Aric had two wins before today...

Well it was just a light rain. And last time there was a light bit of rain, at the Daytona Road Course, they threw the caution and you people complained and cried and bitched and whined about it. NASCAR thought yesterday it was going to keep being a light rain that would quickly pass over. The downpour was abrupt and unexpected.

Language.

@@noahmielke2148 English.

It do be like that for sure lol

Unless Dillon wins Daytona Reddick is probably in

Honestly, no

Maybe quicker, yes, but not during rain like it was for a while

Yes. I'm 95% sure they would !

@@fundacherry2754 It wasn't heavy rain or anything. It was light to at most moderate, but steady rain. Rain tires could EASILY deal with that on any flat track, oval or not.

Sir we have until Daytona

that’s what i’m saying he wrecked almirola for the 500 a few years ago

@@kiradegler7815 Dale Jr intentionally wrecked like 10 cars at the 500 years ago and I didn't hear a peep from the fans about it.

@@captainnebulous2918 yeah ik and i’m biased bc i’m an almirola fan and i just don’t like austin dillon

@@kiradegler7815 I personally like Ty better than Austin. But I did see Austin do some amazing stuff before he graduated from the local tracks. Despite popular belief, his racing career wasn't raised upon a silver spoon. But nobody realized Austin was related to RC until he got into the "Big 3" so he wasn't exactly followed by fans. One time at Stafford Motor Speedway he lost a cylinder, went a lap down in the pits, unlapped himself and finished 3rd after losing a 2nd cylinder. It was awesome.

That was more Danica being Danica than anything. She was the only one who lost it, while everyone else was perfectly fine until she hit them. A lot of the drivers even said they didn't understand how she lost it.

Proves Rick Allen is unnecessary. He screws up more calls through ignorance of racing. Still like Allen Bestwick for that job. Allen called the SRX races and reminded me that he is really good.

I was in turn four and couldn’t even tell it was raining there

@@colinr2434 yeah it was misting when the green flag dropped and the downpour happened about lap 4 the weepers were there the entire race
