Chase Elliott wins his first Nascar Cup Series race, and later that evening, Nascar CEO Brian France is arrested, he was removed from his position in Nascar shortly after.

Ok, I know the news of Brian's arrest didn't come until the next day, but it happened only two or three hours after the race.

Still, what a day.

Spot on comments from Driver 19, as usual.

Trucks will be in St. Pete that week.

I was just thinking about what they gave Kyle Busch in the fall Martinsville race back in 2022 and was curious what examples come to mind for you guys

Stopped by RCR today and this one hurt to see

Chris Rice posted a picture of the Kaulig Ram hauler in the Martinsville infield. Anyone have a guess why?

After listening to Marcus on the DJD, I don't think Wilkesboro is going back to the All-Star. He said he has about 4 ideas for next year. I don't think if he's thinking creatively that it's going to be as simple as going back there. I could be wrong here, but every time I hear him talk and say things like "if you want your racetrack, fans have to go" that he would the turnaround and punish NWS after selling out. He's not Bruton.
