Josh Billicki! Anthony Alfredo! Cole Custer! Cody Ware!

the good ones are in xfinity and trucks, my guy! Couple road ringers and cup guys grabbing a little practice for the big dance.

One of the first 2022 bombshells have been dropped, it looks like we may be seeing Brad Keselowski in the #6 Roush car next year.
Career suicide? Perhaps, but it's a deal that would come with a driver and ownership role.

Looks like Jeff Green has officially retired, hasn’t been competitive for nearly 20 years but hey he had a decent career through the late 90s to early 2000s

Todd Gilliland picks up his second truck series win of his career at COTA, while Kyle Busch takes out the Xfinity race. Busch is now just 2 wins away from 100 Xfinity series wins.

Chase Elliott wins in the rain.

Ugly first impression of NASCAR at COTA. Rain racing inexperience coupled with bad visibility had a less than desirable impact on the race...literally. Two big wrecks in a row because guys couldn't see cars slowing in front of them.

That was incredibly dangerous, far too much water on the track.

Entry lists for 600 weekend are up, practice and qualifying will take place yet again, meaning no point exclusions!

Cup - 38
Xfinity - 43 for 36 spots
Trucks - 40 for 36 spots

[acerogers58]

Kyle Larson picks up his second win of the year in the Coca-Cola 600, and moves Hendrick Motorsports past Petty Enterprises for the most team wins in NASCAR history.

Here are the entry lists for Mid-Ohio and Sonoma.

Xfinity - 42 (DNQ: #13, 77)
Cup - 37

Well, the #5 car used to be Hendrick's prime entry - before the Jeff Gordon & Jimmie Johnson days. Quite fitting it's #5 car which sets the all-time team winning record some 37 years later.
