@@ExploringTheSmoke Always Rumble a free speech platform but you can’t get the YT heads to move over there. Either way love the channel and I’m definitely enjoying the videos.
I’m not sure what TV channels y’all have in England. Like idk if you guys have FOX or NBC or any of that BUT!!! Every year NASCAR does a channel swap! This weekends race will be the final race on FOX for the season then NBC will take over. Different commentators and all. I think you’ll love NBC! They have the best broadcasts!!
I swear, Blaney fans know nothing but PAIN! Yes we won the championship last season…however there were several painful moments that led to that, and now it seems like we’ve gone back to that. It’s just nothing but pain!
Larson is my favorite Driver right now. My favorite track is probably Talladega but this track (Gateway) is becoming a quick favorite. This season has been exceptionally entertaining compared to the previous few seasons. Love seeing Europeans appreciate NASCAR!!
@@Dezert_Fox Glad you're here Fox! I'm missing so much racing recently due to a move of house and I'm STILL waiting on wifi to be installed 😭😭 I need racing!
It's okay you'll have plenty to react to! Make sure to watch the highlights of this weekends race "The great American getaway" At Pocono Raceway. Pocono is a very unique track, its shaped as a triangle with only 3 turns and is in the middle of the forest. Would love to see you react to Pocono when you can. I'll be here waiting! Appreciate the reply
I feel awful for Blaney and Bell. They had the two best cars. I couldn't believe Blaney ran out of gas! I was yelling at my TV lol. But I am so happy for Austin Cindric. He gets a lot of flak because his dad is high up at Team Penske, but the dude has a lot of talent. Also, he seems like a fun and great dude, not cocky at all like some "nepo babies" might be lol. Cindric hadn't won a race since the 2022 Daytona 500, so I was so happy to see him capitalize on a great day. He's also Joey Logano's teammate, (as is Ryan Blaney) so if Joey can't win, I'll happily take another Team P:enske car getting the victory. Sorry for the long comment lol, but enjoyed your reaction, as always!
As much as I am a homer and lover of the superspeedways like Daytona and especially growing up in Alabama close to Dega and going countless times... with this Next Gen car Kansas the the fucking GOAT track. By far my current favorite. Even though I go to Daytona every year now living in Florida now I still LOVE Kansas and wish I could go.
@@ExploringTheSmoke 12:45 the 20 and 19 are teammates the 19 (Truex Jr) went 3 laps down after blowing a tire and was 34th and last of the running cars so he had nothing to lose as the next car for position 33rd (Cody Ware) was a lap ahead of him so he had nothing to lose so he decided to help Christopher Bell (20) around the track for a couple laps
Nah he’ll be fine the crew chief told them to only put 1 can and not 2 and you do what the crew chief says otherwise then you would be filling out applications.
I’m heading to the next race at Sonoma, can’t wait. This race wasn’t the best until first bells car broke and then blaney ran out of gas 11:18 pit cycle Yes they’re teammates, truex(19) was down 2 laps after a pit road mistake, so he pushed bell enough to keep him in the top ten
Yo, I remember u asked one of us to get a vid of NASCARS engine. I am going to Sonoma next week so I’ll be sure to get videos. To answer ur questions in the beginning my favorite track is Talladega and my favorite driver is Blaney…
The guys in my racing league seem to think Tim Cindric,Team Penske President, messed with Blaney’s pit stop to give his son the win over Blaney. I think Blaney’s crew chief was just a bit off on his math
It was a good race not great. Saint Louis and the area around have packed the place each of the last 3 years. It’s been amazing to see the nascar community in the Midwest we/they deserve to keep Gateway on the schedule. Thousands around Saint Louis and all of Southern Illinois go to STL (Gateway). Since it’s the closest track within 2 hours.
5:47 his tire did blow but here at this track the brake rotors are a big concern! If it gets too hot it’ll explode as if a tire did blow! Harvick have that issue at this very track in 2022
Blaney is my favorite driver. The driver and can't stand Joey Logano, Blaney's teammate because my first favorite driver Matt Kenseth was wrecked by Logano from an intense battle for a win in the playoffs years ago.
You must have been screaming like crazy at the end of this race! You'll find many friends among the Explorers that have the same dislike towards Logano as you can
Green flag pit stops completely shuffle the leaderboard. It’s a game to try to catch a caution but NASCAR does its best to let everyone make their stops before throwing any caution flags. (Not manipulating the race)
I know what you’re going through, I was in Eastern Europe in November trying to watch the championship race in the middle of the night and watching my Orlando Magic games with a 2-3AM tipoff. It’s rough for sure lol. Favorite track? Bristol for sure.
Getting spoiled this year. Not since 2011 has the year been full of drama, duels, fights, photo finishes, and just memorable moments. Im Darlington as my favorite track, Auto club RIP was my hometrack. Lol says spolied at 6:36. Lmao
I BEG YOU!!! Find the time to watch a Nascar race Live because it's a whole different experience than the highlights. There's been times when I had to pull all nighters just to watch some of the more anticipated races like the Daytona 500, Talladega and others. For someone who lives 9 hours ahead of the US time, it's quite a challenge if you ask me 😅
The reason Larson was all over the board at the end of the race was because he stayed out during the pit cycle. Passed everyone it pit road. And then pitted himself and was back to 17th
My favorite 4 tracks I would have to go with Daytona Talladega North Wilksboro (the all star race track last points paying race at North Wilksboro was 1996) and Rockingham (last race 2004)
The highlights really cut out the best part of the race lol... You didn't get to see Blaney and Bell were side by side fighting for the win for like 10 laps straight right before that part they did show when bell blew up. Also, Hocevar is pronounced Ho-suh-var fav all time driver is Carl Edwards, fav current is josh berry or chris buescher, least favorite is kyle busch
Just a heads up, over here in the states on July 7th is the street race again, you should definitely watch it live if you can, because it might not be on the 2025 NASCAR schedule
In case u haven't heard Stewart-hass racing will be shutting down at the end of this year the 4,10,14,and 41 cars will be gone to other teams and a lot of ppl drivers crew members mechanics will not have jobs and recently in 2020 they were the dominant team they won over half the races that year almost all of em by Kevin harvick tho but they was once the most dominant team in NASCAR now they are shutting down
@@ExploringTheSmokeit’s 50/50, some people love the road courses some people don’t. They haven’t been as good with the new car but I love the road courses and would absolutely stay up for one.
It seemed like a pretty mediocre race, but it did at least have a decent finish. I mostly say this because of things hindering the experience for me. My radio, which broadcasted the race, cut away to severe weather updates almost every five minutes. My phone data was throttled so I couldn't keep up with a live leaderboard. The Wi-Fi transmitter to our home got damaged in a hailstorm. And we're in the process of moving to a new place. Add all that together, and the race seemed pretty mid at best for me. Not to mention I didn't really have big expectations for this race in the first place. Others may disagree with me, and that's fine. Each to his or her own.
Video suggestion. Can you please react to the nascar Netflix series documentary of nascar full speed its the story of the playoff round of 16 to championship in 2023. Ive watched it all its amazing.
My fav of all time is tony Stewart I can’t stand being bubba Wallace because he is a lousy driver and has a bad attitude my favorite track is Richmond I will sub

Man, when Blaney’s bad luck hits, it REALLY hits
THE LAST LAP!!!!
Austin Cindric hasn’t won a race since 2022. He won the Daytona 500 that year! I’m so happy he won! He deserves it!! I’m so gutted for Blaney & Bell
I mean sad day for Blaney but a good win after a few years
He doesn’t deserve either of his wins 💀 he is a god awful doesn’t deserve a seat at a top team
@@canaan56 I mean I disagree! He’s not that good I’ll admit that. But that’s a bit too harsh.
@@landon8590 he has had 1 top ten all year minus the win and was a last place car basically last year he is trash
@@canaan56 I know he had 1 Top 10. Sometimes you have seasons like that but it takes a win to turn it all around sometimes!
This is a crazy @ss Nascar season I’m glad you decided to jump on for the ride.. I also got a strike for a FKB and used Funk at the start.
