I've been a fan of NASCAR since 1991, and I was at the track for the Brickyard yesterday. I had a VIP pass and I had an amazing time. The access and the things I was able to get close to and see was amazing. There is nothing like hearing a field of ~40 cup cars roaring down the frontstretch from the stands or from pit road. I even got a selfie with Mike Helton! That was awesome. I love IMS, as I've been there plenty of times, just never for the NASCAR Cup Series. If the race was boring on TV, I wouldn't be able to confirm that from the stands. It was CRAAAAZY.
It doesn't matter when Larson is on the inside. Larson won the race after Brad pulled off into the pits. We could of had 100 cautions and it still wouldn't have mattered.
@@mattharrell3932 saving fuel, Blaney had no reason to pass Brad. He was banking on Brad running out during the green flag run and then he would have been first.
Super early!! I am one of those people who listens religiously and never watches on TH-cam but just wanted to say I love this damn show. I laugh my ass off all the time listening to you fools. And Freddy - LGFM!
TJ said it, he looked at the data.they both rolled but th 12 was in 2nd gear, the 5 was in 1st gear. Obviously the 5 will get a faster jump in a lower gear. Dont hate him because he played the game better than the rest
Well they didn’t penalize Denny earlier in the year and he jumped the start wayyyy worse than Kyle did. So NASCAR is just being consistent like you all want.
It didn't really look like he jumped the start. If hamlin leaving a whole car length early before the restart zone isn't a penalty then hitting the gas .1 seconds before blaney isn't one
"that run when he was the only one not saving fuel, I thought this is ridiculous, he's just driving by all of us like we're idiots." THANK YOU. My thoughts exactly.💀🤣
Indy sounds a lot like Lambeau Field. Lambeau is right up against a residential neighborhood...parking in the lawns of the neighbors, friendly crowd, awe inspiring venue with unparalleled history. If only the racing was as good as the Packers usually are at home....
Nobody else made this race EXCITING besides LARSON. Passing gas savers or not he past Hamlin who was not saving so..... And i NEVER have heard a crowd CHANT a driver's name. LARSON LARSON LARSON!! Are we still sure Bill's kid is the most popular driver? 😂😂😂😂😂😂
People go to Indianapolis who don't go to any other NASCAR race because they are Indycar fans and Indy is it's home track, like how Charlotte is for NASCAR. Guarantee there were lots of Indycar fans cheering for Larson because he was the NASCAR driver that did the double so he was their guy. Any other track Larson isn't getting that kind of chant
@@NickyDexcept the fact that he’s the ONLY driver that can win in multiple cars across various series in his first attempt. Your clearly a couch cup fan who thinks cup drivers are the elite / premier driver. There’s no current driver with the success and talent as Larson. Ask any real driver with an unbiased opinion.
Car scrapes outside wall, keeps going - NASCAR "that's a yellow" Car spins and noses inside wall, blows tires and can't move - NASCAR, "wait let's see what happens".
Larson fired off first, but when they hit the end of the restart zone, they were basically neck and neck coming up to speed. NASCAR should have reset the field or Blaney should’ve been more consciously aware of his surroundings and what was going on so I think he’s more pissed that he lost another race to Kyle Larson more so than anything being given to the #5
The data shows that Larson and blaney fired off at the exact same time just fyi. The difference was that Larson was rolling up 1mph faster than blaney as he was closing the gap. So no, he didn’t jump the start and should not have been penalized
The episode I think where Brett and TJ in 2018 talk about the video of Will having Elliott Sadler’s but on pit road at Darlington is where they tell the story about Will flooding a condominium.
They did not throw the caution because of where the cutoff line points were if they would have threw the caution that cut off line would not have been nowhere near as close cuz Bubba would have had to get gas and Ross would have been in the top 10
Why are we making a story out of the last lap caution when there really wasn't a story. I don't hear anybody mentioning the fact that they gave him as long as possible to get rolling again
IRP is a awesome place. The craftsman trucks and old Bush cars always put great races on at IRP. nascar needs to go back and run the track they ran in the mid to late 90's.!
The racing surface is clearly defined by the continuous white line the rings the inside of the paved tack surface. the warm-up lane is defined by the pair of parallel white lines that extande from pit out to the blend point at turn two. the space inbetween the outer warm-up lane line and the inner track surface line used to be grass but is paved strictly as for safety reasons. The rule should be refined to state cars must remain fully within the defined warm-up lane, period.
I think Blaney basically said in an interview with Frontstretch, what yall said here. He got screwed over by racing luck. The pieces just fell all the wrong ways. Hes not mad at anyone in particular. Also, Blaney gets angry on the radio... But after he gets out of the car he relaxes... Which i think is pretty fun. Let him be fired up in the car. I wouldnt take everything he says over the radio as a perfectly thought out well crafted statement lol.
Early this year denny jumped the start to win a race and it wasn't close,he had the other car clear just past the flag stand and these guys all defended him with every excuse imaginable..Larsons was extremely close.maybe a pumper and they both looked confused. It was so close im fact Ryan had the lead back by a bumper goimg into turn 1
Nascar needs to be consistent on cautions and penalties. It's like they flip a coin to decide, or who it affects. They have screwed more drivers than I can count. Been a Nascar fan for years and it's getting frustrating.
During a GWC restart Nascar should use the flagman to do the restart. the leader gets option to pick the lane he wants to go and thats an advantages and if he gets to start the race he gets too much an advantage.
I guess i see now y the booth kept saying a driver didnt know a guy was there/3 wide when i was thinking they have multiple spotters how do they not know they are 3 wide
As Denny pointed out with SMT (and others), Larson didn’t jump he just timed it absolutely perfectly. Adding in he was in 1st gear, with a better car and tires as it was, it was no contest. It probably wouldn’t have mattered if Blaney easily went first or even if Larson was on the outside.
Peopel are just mad larson an cliff out smarted an out drove the field dennys crew chief said he wanted the ball an cliff said i am going to give my driver the ball an let him go to work
Larson didn’t jump the start. Blaney knew he was done when Larson filled the gap on the inside lane as the rules dictate. Circumstances unfolded in Larson’s favour, and the fastest car won.
Also it doesn't sound like anybody watched the replay of the restart when Brad ran out of fuel. Larson black back a little behind Blaney and they both admitted they both left at the same time and it's very obvious when you watch the replay
With 20 to go I had to stop scanning on my radio at the race. It was all TJ anyway. By 5, by five , save me a little. Second spotter, "By four.TJ, " By 5, by 5. Back It up a little more." Twenty fn laps. And it still didn't work. Nobody uses push to talk more than TJ.
Do you honestly think that Kyle would not have gotten back out front again even if there is 2 more cautions. It would turn into a shit.Show everybody running out of gas.It was the right call that hesitate on the caution
Do people really think Herbst is Cup ready? Or do the people who sign the checks to put Cup cars on the track think his sponsorship is Cup worthy? The rules that were shown about the pit exit made perfect logical sense but could have been made way clearer and yeah if NASCAR missed calls then they fucked up. The 9 and 2 were over the line on the racing surface which is obviously defined, and I dont know that TV showed any other cars who actually crossed the 2nd line. The 5 had his right sides on it which is borderline but I understand not calling that.
Larson didnt go first they were side by side going into 1 an blaney should have new the rules larson an cliff said they were talking about every scenario an larson was 22 or 23 after that last pit stop an drove to the front the man that wanted that win the most won that race
There are only 5 road courses Brett, COTA, Sonoma, Chicago, Watkins Glen and the Charlotte Roval, NASCAR has always raced on road courses since the beginning, its when the drivers are challenged the most, only the best drivers win on these types of tracks, skill matters much more, isnt that a good thing
In the old days run 100 % the entire race. This fuel milege b.s. just flat out sucks for the sport. Back in the day fuel mileage races were rare. Now thats all it is and they aint running wide open
Umm the 6 was over the line, the 5 was on the line. Big difference. The 5 even said the 9 had to get a penalty for that. He knew the rule, why didnt everyone else? Thats why the 5 team is one of the very best out there, they come prepared, for everything
RIP Bob Jeffrey.
Btw fellas...SMT data says he and Blaney fired at the EXACT same time. Larson didn't fire first.
To be the devils advocate, you're supposed to let the leader fire first so if it's the same time, he did "technically" fire early

Good on you guys for giving SVG a shout out for his 4th at Indy on Saturday just gone. He drove so well and deserved a good finish. 😊
If a spotter ever deserved to be in the HOF, it would be Bob Jeffery.
Kyle had to close up the gap and they both went at same time according to the data and Denny Hamlin

Ironically Larson has run from tail to the front multiple times a race in multiple races. At times hes gained over 60 positions.

they 5 had way better tires then the 12, and on a restart and turn 2 thats a huge advantage.
Best podcast of the week. Another banger.
I remember when Denny fired way early and got away with it. Life sucks sometimes.

70,000 people in one spot is a lot of people for a nascar race!!
RIP Mr. Jeffrey. Brett, we don't use SCUDS lol.
*Brad* handed Larson the win, not Nascar. If Brad comes down pit road literally one lap prior, Blaney has a chance at winning.
They did not throw the caution because of where the cutoff line points were if they would have threw the caution that cut off line would not have been nowhere near as close cuz Bubba would have had to get gas and Ross would have been in the top 10
Bigger tracks should choose on the 1 to go lap , just like they do on road courses
Why are we making a story out of the last lap caution when there really wasn't a story. I don't hear anybody mentioning the fact that they gave him as long as possible to get rolling again
NBC gave way too much coverage to the guy who dropped out of the race.
Definitely!
Let’s go Larson 🔥
IRP is a awesome place. The craftsman trucks and old Bush cars always put great races on at IRP. nascar needs to go back and run the track they ran in the mid to late 90's.!

yeah pretending to not know about track limit lines was weird to me too. even iracing gets it right.
If they weren't going to re-rack, they probably should have run one more caution lap to get everyone on the same page as far as who the control car.
Nascar needs to fire everyone enforcing rules, hire Brett Griffin, he has the most common sense
5 didn't jump the start.
The Xfinity car this year at Indy with less HP made it easy to race.
NASCAR, concerning the Elliot penalty, in the future, provide a diagram in the memo. Remember, a picture is worth a thousand words.
The 5 only put his rights on the line

The 41 has been cursed since Kurt left imo
Haven’t been watching every episode:; was last weekend the first time two of these three spotters spotted the same driver in a weekend.

Individual people placed in key positions on the track should determine yellow
50:26 I was there with my wife! She said when can we go again!? Yes!🎉❤ But that finish… boooo
The question about last caution should be y did the 41 pull back on the track there was plenty of room for him to stay off the track
Nascar needs to have have more tracks with 4 real corners like indy
Sounds like jeff Gordon defending larson all the time lol
If Denny doesn’t get penalized for Richmond, then Larson doesn’t get penalized for this
Get rid of the 18”wheels you can’t drive a flat on them! So many cautions for a barely damaged car stranded because of a flat tire!!
Why doesn't nascar offer up non competitive pit stops for fuel only, only if the race is going over the scheduled distance
I like having beers and watching the DBC podcast, they all say what they think but they drink skinny people beer.

No caution flag helped Nascars Bubba Wallace and the playoff cut line
According to Data he didn't jump the restart and the caution only helped the rest of the field who was about to run out of fuel, stay mad bud.
It's the drivers responsibility to get gas not Nascar
I only caught Freddy two to three times.
