Wow. 0.001 seconds.

Fantastic.

Controversy to come as that finish line paint job doesn't look perfectly even.

Wow!!!!!!!

Awesome finish.

ETA - Harvick made a great call regarding Larson right before Larson made his move.

For all the suck this car is on short tracks and super speedways it's revitalized 1.5 mile circuits.

I feel terrible for Buescher. I hope he can pull one of these upcoming races out for a win.

Nascar noob here. Saw the video of the finish. Why is it ok that Larson came down and bumped Buescher before the finish line? Seems like that would have made the difference? Apparently it is legal?

Bumping is allowed in NASCAR. They were driving into each other going into turn 4 and all the way down the front stretch. The intention isn't specifically to bump the other driver, but they're both trying as hard as they can to be first to the line. And there are lines around the track that are faster than others. It's natural cars are going to come into contact in those situations.

This one was especially fantastic because they raced each other so well that they didn't take each other out. Too often you'll see the front 2 cars just wipe each other out because they cross the line from aggressive to reckless. Or sometimes it's just bad luck on when contact happens and the air will turn the car real fast.

As they say...rubbin' is racin'

Also, getting right up against someone is a way to side draft them, which essentially puts more air from your car onto their spoiler and slows them down. Combine that with finishing the lines they wanted as mentioned above and there it is!

I'm pumped to see him try the double later this month. Larson is one of the best racers in the world in any car right now.

I'm enjoying this season a lot. NASCAR has saved me from Aggie football in the past and is currently doing so for the Astros. Lol.

I picked a good year to really get into NACAR. I absolutely love it.

Funny story... I've been playing NASCAR DraftKings each week and on Sunday I kept going back and forth beween Bowman and Buescher to fill out my last roster spot. I went with Bowman. He raced well and I won a cool $60.

I got curious and looked to see who the first place ($20,000) winner had in his lineup.

The ONLY difference in our lineups was he went with Buescher and I went with Bowman. I wanted to throw my phone against the wall. Haha

Wow Nascar didn't throw a caution. For the first time maybe ever they showed proper restraint

Too soon Reddick

If Brad can hold this will be awesome, he's been so close lately

No fan of Brad but I happened to sit next to his ARCA crew chief years and years ago in Phoenix. Heard enough stories to respect the guy. Also thought, while the ownership opportunity was huge, going to rousch was a major gamble on his driving career.

He/the team also made Buescher a priority who is a favorite of mine, so all in all I'm happy he was able to finally get the win with his new team.

Also nice to see Fords getting better as the season goes on. It was sad for the first 3rd of the year.

I don't root for Ford guys often if ever but I was pulling hard for Brad.

Keselowski with the win


The biggest shocker might be a Rick Ware Racing car finishes in the Top 10 - the 51 of Justin Haley.
