    The ground that not only Chastain made up on that last lap, but Bowman staying on him too was so impressive. Three cars going for a win. What a race. This track makes for some incredible racing. This new car makes for some incredible racing. What a race!

      BOWMAN AGAIN , 2 days in a row was the best car./truck AND WAS GOING to win both. But due to others he didn't win either. But IMHO he was the best of all the truck racers and Cup racers today. And he should of won , 2 times this weekend. Amd im sick of NOONE ever giving him the credit he deserves.

      NO BULLSHIT. Bowman out drove them , if he would of won it was 100% skill and IMHO he deserved to win BOTH races this weekend, he was better than Bush in the truck race and he out drove both of them in the last lap today. He deserved to win this race. And it was Not because he backed into a win. He was Legit today. And almost Shocked the world , missed it by 3 feet , oh well hopefully he starts getting the credit he deserves. , remember Dale Jr picked him for a reason, and JJ he is that good !!!!

    Great Finish! I believe allmendinger accidentally shifted into 3rd gear going into the sweeping right handers and so when he got on the power again it didn't have the acceleration to get the run out, which backed him up into chastain and made it look like bowman got a great run out of it. If allmendinger stayed in second, I think the outcome could have been different.

    AJ took turn 15 really shallow to get inside and move Ross. Ross was much faster than AJ coming to 19, and AJ tried to block him. Ross had every right to do what he did. Shame for Bowman because I think he would have won the race if it was just him and Ross up front. I love AJ and he is the best road racer of the 3, but he just didn't have the car to get off the corners like the 1 and 48. The 16 and 48 outbroke Ross in the hard braking zones, but he was able to put the power down faster than any of them. Well deserved Ross. His success and electricity is massive for the sport. And hats off to Alex, he was flying. Great road racer, probably underrated in this regard. I hope AJ gets another Cup win soon. Maybe Watkins Glen!

      Dale Sr would have done it and everyone would have loved it. Ross gave AJ a bump. If Alex wasn't there, AJ would have been fine.

    The problem is taking out the 48 who had nothing to do with it.
