Why hello world! Appreciate everyone checking in. I’m a-ok, just a little bloody and bruised but you’ll get that in big time auto racin’ 🤷🏻♂️ I got hit by somebody as soon as the punch connected. My view:
#NASCAR is bringing cars down pit road and stopping them in the outside lane. Red flag coming with a bunch, including Bubba, tight on fuel.
A picture is worth a thousand words (and apparently so is a headline) NASCAR.com this morning ⬇️

What a moment for big dawg @DontreGraves. Best kiss of his life 😘
@DontreGraves guessing this meant a little something to you as an Indy guy.
What a run for @katherinelegge. She finishes 17th in the No. 78 for @teamlivefast, besting her career-best #Indy500 finish of 22nd. Big time performance at a big time track in inferior equipment.
AND he's got enough fuel for a burnout! Some damn good gas mileage and fuel saving from 23XI and @BubbaWallace 👏🏼 #NASCAR
.@TyGibbs is $1,000,000 richer! He wins the first ever In-Season Challenge over @tydillon thanks to his 21st-place finish. #NASCAR
🧱 "It's been a long f*cking road. Thank you." - @BubbaWallace has won the #Brickyard400. His third career Cup Series victory.
🏁 Bubba wins at the Brickyard! @BubbaWallace snaps his 100-race winless streak and puts @23XIRacing back in Victory Lane - he incredibly stretches it! 🗣️ "Unbelievable. Unbelievable. Thank you so much," BW says.
🏳️ WHITE FLAG - next flag ends it! Bubba still leads over Larson...
GWC overtime restart No. 2: Wallace-Larson Byron-Berry Hamlin-Hocevar Everybody is C L O S E on fuel...
No. 23 team is staying out. Denike says "we're obviously not in a good spot on fuel." They could run out on the restart, they could run out under this caution, they could make it to the end, who knows?
Yikes - replay shows Smith got hooked by Bell heading into Turn 3. Smith is climbing out and okay. Not sure if Bell thought there was more room or what, but that looked odd/out of character for him.
⚠️ CAUTION on the backstretch! @ZaneSmith, @TylerReddick in it. We're going to double overtime. Silence from @BubbaWallace on the radio. We'll see if they stay out of pit being so close on fuel.
GWC overtime attempt No. 1: Wallace-Larson Byron-Berry No. 24 will be pushing Bubba and Denny is NOT on the first 2 rows!
Reddick pits for fuel ahead of OT. Bubba Wallace is told to flip his fuel switch coming to the white flag. Looking to snap his 100-race winless streak for @23XIRacing. His last win was back in 2022 at @kansasspeedway.
Will be an overtime finish (or 2, or 3, we'll see) for the #Brickyard400. Wallace, Larson, Byron, Hamlin, Berry, Reddick, Briscoe, Bell, Buescher, Hocevar the top 10 pre-choose. Fuel is tight for most. Restarts are hairy here, so buckle up tight 😬
Engines have been re-fired and pace car is rolling. No. 23 is good for one GWC on fuel...but not two. "Max save" is the message from CC Charles Denike to Wallace. Byron also is close on fuel and Larson in 2nd has a tad more than them.
Last week was with 14 to go and today with 4 to go. When's the last time #NASCAR red flagged & resumed the race with that little time remaining? Moreover in back-to-back weeks? I feel like we're all just used to a red in the first half or just past halfway but never this late 🤷🏻♂️
Charles Denike says the No. 23 will be "good for one" GWC. Anything after that, TBD. Red flag with 4 to go.
