“Have you ever?!?”
“NO I’VE NEVER!!!”
“WHAT A FINISH!!”
Every time there’s a photo finish I think of DW lol
Have you ever?!?
Yes. Like 3 times this year
And DW would still be interrupting. “And…” “LARSON!”
@@ThatNascarGuyand each one keeps getting better
i miss DW.. booth hasn’t been the same since he left
We need definitely owe Chicagoland an apology by giving her a date this car and race proves that this car can put on outstanding racing on these 1.5 mile tracks we definitely need to bring it back but we also can’t ignore how chase and truex was also battling for 2nd and almost made it for a 4 wide finish
Yes i would love that I got into NASCAR when Chicagoland was no longer on the schedule and I would love to be back down there to watch more NASCAR races
Was the one race to I went to every year. Miss it so much. Once the street race is off contract it might come back
Chicagoland and Rockingham definitely need to get dates next year. Rockinghams turns are banked enough and fast enough it’s almost an intermediate and if they give it the right package it would most likely be super duper good.
@@aaronlarson4358yes I wish neither track got removed Rockingham would put a damn good race on
Absolutely! I’ve been saying the same thing.
Buescher hasn't been this emotional on the radio since the summer Daytona race in 2022... he was fired up
No kidding
The second door rub just before the line... Is what scrubbed all of his speed off! To me it looked intentional by Larson.
Forgot about that one
@@OldsmobileCutlass1969Va Intentional for sure. Wish Larson would've raced him clean cause he still would have won
@alexfleming0381 isn't that just racing, though? I mean, I'm all for safety and not wrecking people, but can we let them race hard a little bit...
I like how Larson said that we need more mile and a half’s I really hope nascar decides to put Chicagoland back on the schedule 😁👍🏼 That was an amazing race!
He probably didn't say that because he won.
@@hollygolden9673 that could be true but I think a lot of people can agree the racing at these racks with this car has been great. I’m also a little biased about Chicagoland so that’s also why I want it 😂
Let's not knee jerk react shall we....it's like after Atlanta and people wanting more of that. You CAN have too much of a good thing.
Yes then bowman can win again
Just move the Chicago "street race" to Kansas.
I’m gonna say this. Noah Gragson makes up his points penalty and barely sneaks into the playoffs. He’s now 19th in points. Still has plenty of time.
If Hendrick and JGR keep gobbling up the wins like Pac-Man, yeah, big possibility here. I'll even go a step further and say Noah could very well git win #1 before Ty does.
@@Dude-zm4gj he’s was good at Darlington in the xfinity car. Maybe this week
We really had the closest finish in NASCAR history, to the biggest heartbreak in NASCAR history. Hopefully Buescher gets a win this season
He will. It’s coming for sure
I say buescher could make the final 4!
@@miketwotwenty hell yeah
@@miketwotwentyDavid Pearson and Matt Kenseth won championships with the #17 Chris is next
Kyle's spin caused the closest finish in Cup Series history, and he still got 8th!
I am no longer mad about the spin. I can't what for the Coke 600!
KFB is a fucking beast, 20th to 8th is 2 fucking laps
Might be the most anticipated 600 in recent memory
2016 and 2021 winner here
Bro is garbage
As soon as I said KB is gonna have really good finish that happened 😂
I took two friends to Kansas!!! They had never seen a nascar race before and they stunned when everything was said and done
Years ago a friend of mine took some folks to a sprint car race .. they had never been to any kind of racing event and they too went crazy and he couldn’t even get them out of there until they went down and met some drivers and talked to others … COOL STORY …! 🏁🇺🇸🔥
Nice.
It was an honor to meet you at kansas!!! I was the shorter guy with a beard and was decked out in bubba gear! What a race!
I met him in srx Berlin it was cool
Why would you admit to being decked out in bubba gear. It’s like admitting to wearing your wife’s thongs.
Yikes
"Shorter guy with the beard"?... that certainly narrows it down.
@@olripper2700”decked out in bubba gear”…that would narrow it down plenty
To be fair it wasn't just Fox (or rather FS1) that assumed that Buescher won, MRN did also assumed he won as well.
2014 chicagoland clips??… nahh… 2024 kansas clips are supplying the twitter likes for the next century. 😤🗣️💨
after this race NASCAR needs to give a date back to Chicagoland
No, they need to give a date back to Kentucky
@@alanjohnson911Did they add more roads getting in and out of that place?
@@mikek749
Yes they added several in/out after the first race debacle
The best closest finish I have ever seen again. Let’s get this started, we’ve saw battle for the lead, pit stop strategy, air flow control and I’ll give a 99.9% ratings.
I drove down to Kansas from Wisconsin last year for the spring race. Best sporting event experience in my lifetime. Great experience from parking, prices, product on the track and leaving the facility. Kudos to Kansas Motor Speedway!
Kansas Speedway, no motor in there.
3 100%s goes to tell you how amazing this cup season is
This might just be the best season ever
I think we all NEED Chicagoland Speedway to make a return. I for one am desperate to see how these cars would race there on the aged surface
The F1 race finishing right before they went green in Kansas was elite
At least Max Verstappen didn’t win.
Timed out very nicely.
I switched over and thought I'd missed it... then I figured it out.
Feel bad for Buescher, but the photo doesn't lie. No matter which line you look at, Larson edged him out by an inch. Just an effing inch. What an amazing finish. Best race I've seen in years.
Truex was so close again to getting a win this season and something cost him yet again this year, I'm honestly starting to feel bad for him. I'm happy my favorite driver won though
If it weren't for the last caution Truex would have won.
I've been saying for years. Kansas is the best 1.5 mile on the schedule. Hands down.
It was kind of boring with the gen 6 car. Like 2020 where Harvick had a much better car than Logano but couldn’t make the pass for the win because he stalled out in dirty air the moment he got to him
Some teams had no answer to the temperatures and time for this track but man for the ones who figured something out. Wow. What a race. Back and forth all race long with different drivers. This might be the best of the season so far
The ending overshadows that most of the race had the lead contested seemingly every lap. Great race the whole way through.
I've been saying since it was announced, Larson's going to win one of his Indy 500 attempts. I wouldn't put it past him to win both races in the double, in all honesty.
He is proven to be able to win in anything, especially something new to him. Watched him win on dirt at Gas City Speedway before he ever raced in Nascar.
YET LARSON IS HATED BY SOME FOLKS … GO FIGURE…? 🏁🇺🇸
This was wanna the best races ever on a non SuperSpeedway, Wreckfest, 4 and 5 wide racing, AND THE CLOSET FINISH IN HISTORY WOOOOO
Kyle Larson made Harry Hogg look like a genius 33 years later. In 1991 Harry said, "If you go to the outside, you CAN HOLD IT!!" Lol
Been waiting for this video!! We need more 1.5 on the schedule. What an awesome time to be a Nascar fan. Used to get a finish like that once every 5 years. We’ve gotten 2 in under a month!!
As a Larson/HMS fan, would not have been mad if Buescher would have won. Earlier in the race when he made it 5 wide and jumped to the front you could see how bad he wanted to win and how good that car was. Amazing race. Was definitely worth the wait.
After Cindric spun and hit McDowell I was about to turn the race off in frustration and I'm glad I stuck around.
Shoutout to Gilliland and that 38 team. Staying out towards the end I thought was a death sentence especially lacking the fuel. But they held on just long enough for Busch to spin and despite a poor pit stop he managed to finish 14th despite running around 25th all day. McDowell managing to wheel that battered car to 10th was also nice, breaking that stupid streak of mistakes
Man, Truex had this in the bag! Too bad that caution came out. That was an awesome finish!😀
Yes, I wanted to say this too 👍
Larson was right in his post race interview, we need more of these intermediates the car is so good at them it's a shame we don't have Chicagoland on the schedule
Seeing your name at the top, celebrating down the backstretch and in pit lane, thinking the drought is over this season, then... NASCAR spoils the party with the official photo finish.That has got to be the biggest gut punch, not only for Chris Buescher and his team, but Ford as well...
Still, what a race! I've gotta add Kansas to my bucket list of tracks to see in person! I think it actually is the closest NASCAR track to me (that or Texas, I'm sandwiched in between them in Oklahoma).
Petition for Kansas to get the season finale
👇
Too cold.
itll get snowed out
It would be awesome! But with the weather,probably just not possible. Kansas does need to be a cutoff race. Probably my favorite race track right now. I go every May,and its so entertaining in person
That is race of the year right there.maybe even race of the decade. One of the best races that I've ever watched as a hardcore Team penske fan. There was nothing in this race, that I didn't enjoy. We need more 1.5 tracks because that race was amazing.
I thought atlanta was close 😂
0.001 can't hardly get any closer, not to mention the 5 wide for 1st place when Chris B threaded the needle. What a show.
I was so heartbroken thinking i would spend the rest of my life watching highlights of larson losing a race by literally nothing lol so glad he got the win but still feel bad for Chris
The one Kansas race we miss. My son was playing soccer 3 miles away from the track. We go twice a year and the one race we miss…ugh! Get your tickets for Kansas. BTW, it is one of the cheapest tracks to go to! You will love it if you have never been!!
I’m a Larson fan but I would’ve been happy with either Larson or Buescher winning… I couldn’t believe how close that finish was!!
Thank you for that explanation of the finish and why Kyle Larson was declared the winner. Makes sense because when the transponders hit the line Chris was ahead. But when the noses hit the line, Larson was ahead.
I was thonking that too
Classic nascar finish! 2003 Darling style with beating and banging ti the finish
This season so far feels like a double edged sword. The racing at all but intermediates has been sub-par, but when we have a banger, it's a bloody banger.
Instant classic. The finish wasn't quite the same as KuBu/Craven at Darlington, but the whole freaking race was nothing but constant fighting, and mostly clean at that.
busch on the final restart was insane. started p21 and in 2 laps drove to 8th. his onboard during that is really cool to watch
I was excited to get to meet you on Saturday! I was guy in the blue Ross hoodie that asked for a picture with you! ! Been a fan of your channel since back in your Double E cup series days 😂
Congratulations bro 👍
This is the year of the photo finish and this race once again shows it on display this was hands down the most wild race I’ve ever seen and I think it easily tops Atlanta definitely the race of the year in my book
Stage 1 really showed us that we were in for one hell of a race but no one could have guessed exactly how crazy of a finish we would get!!!
Eric your work is amazing and I always look forward to your videos!
I think it’s crazy to me that the CLOSEST finish in nascar history Came at KANSAS? I for sure thought it would’ve been at Dega or Daytona
Actually, it's Daytona. Yesterday's race was the closest CUP finish. The closest finish in all NASCAR history was the Daytona Xfinity race in 2018 (0.0004 seconds).
Before yesterday, Dega was tied with Darlington for the closest MOV at 0.002 seconds.
Just an unreal race. As a Byron fan I felt horrible for Buescher and RFK, they’re so close to getting that first win of the season.
Another solid weekend for the 21 car he's now second to last in the points 😂
But Matty D was the problem ford has fucked the 21 car alot recently.
It would be safe to say Burton knows he’s done in the 21 after this year.
They fucked up getting rid of Matty d. Harrison was good in xfinity but was not ready for cup.
The power went off at my house with about 30 laps to go
That is tragic
F*cking bad luck
My condolences
MRN in the car
The pass that Larson made in turn 4 at the finish even had Clint Bowyer in disbelief.
There is a reason that Larson is running the Indy 500 this year, he is really good.
I'm telling you most drivers in that situation would've ended up in the wall driving it in that deep.
we need more 1.5 tracks i swear this car is so good at those tracks
Whether the painted line is official or not isn't a big deal. It's the only visual reference that the fans have and they need to make sure that something that is so simple is painted correctly.
Glad you got to be at the track yesterday. It was a great finish. I really hate it for the 17 but I’m glad the five got the victory.
The fact some people think this race was boring clearly confirms to me they know nothing about racing at all not every lap is gonna be all out people need to stop acting like it can be its not but we should be grateful for the great racing moments we do get each week
was there. Last lap saw it coming and pulled my camera out and mane, will never delete it such amazing race
As an Elliott fan I was gutted we got 3rd. We should’ve finished way worse than that so I’m really happy we got 3rd last night!! Just gutted knowing we had a chance and didn’t get it. It was a shocker for me we got 3rd and I’m glad we got it! Onto Darlington
At least Chase Elliott has a win this year.
@@bighand1530 that’s true!! All in all it was a great race. I love Kansas
@@landon8590 I hear ya. Can’t wait to see what next Sunday has in store. Though I’m probably gonna comment a lot about this race throughout this week.
The Greatest Finish of All Time! Atlanta doesn't come close. It was certainly an "enigma".
Take the restrictor plates off at Atlanta & see some actual racing.
I’m so upset that I missed it but hey some days you’re the bat, some days you’re the ball. Glad you got to see it in person as this has me excited for Darlington this weekend and the 600 at month’s end!
Well even though that finish was awesome, I don't see a FORD getting first place in all 3 series. I told people on Facebook about this prediction, looks like my prediction was right.
Being there is person was wild, it was probably the best race I have ever been to!
I decided to tune in during the last 40 or so laps. The amount of times Bowyer had used the drawing software to point towards the gaps on the timing tower felt insulting.
What was an amazing race topped off by an amazing finish!
Byron was in the top 10 during the melee at the beginning of stage 3. He had slow pit stops and started talking about a vibration in the car during stage 2.
Truex is always getting screwed by a late caution 😭 but the finish made up for it
Yep, first RCH and now here
Sucks for Truex, but that was a darn good race!
No joke this race has officially persuaded me to buy tickets for the fall Kansas race, time off permitting.
I was on the good side of a photo finish this year at Atlanta with Suarez, now i get to be on the bad end with Buescher.
Those last 10 laps were really a rollercoaster, from the tension of the fuel mileage potential and Truex creeping up, to the caution saving Buescher, to that finishing sequence. All 7 stages of grief in the span of 15 miles
“May the photo finishes be with you” Damn right
It was real cool to meet you on pit road before the ARCA race! Sucks I had to go to our box so soon but I’ll be there at charlotte!
The crazy part is that, outside of during the pit cycles, I don’t think anyone ever had a 2+ seconds lead in the race. The cars up front were able to stay close. No one pulled away, which is crazy to think about.
Larson door knocking Buescher was brilliant. Shows you he’s a race junkie understanding everything on the track.
Buescher gave the race away by giving up the outside lane......he should've known that is where Larson wanted to be, he also should've door slammed Larson right before the finish line
I want to mention this Rudy didn’t take risks while Gabehardt did. Basically costed William Byron for not leaving him out at Dover last week. And today don’t want to switch strats to try to get off sequence.
It’s pathetic because Bryon could’ve still had maybe 2 top 10’s and a possible fight for the win.
23rd and DNF to show for.
I agree Eric yesterday 100 for me as well. Loved it! I think I have enjoyed more races at times way more than I have most of the 4 and a half years at least.
Feel so bad Buescher, so damn close!!!!
Understandable
He had it until Larson rammed him twice when he was already running the bottom and Larson had all the room in the world.
@@hollygolden9673 Chris tried to slam Larson in the wall.
@@hollygolden9673 chris hit larson first coming out of turn 4, watch the replay again. and thats racing thats been in the sport forever, stop crying about it
@@Eric-lv9su Boo hoo when I want to.
Kyle busch with a great come back from 20th to 8th place he starting to find his Groove‼️‼️
Larson is a true old school NASCAR driver. Wreckers or checkers. He goes for it and drives it to the hilt.
Another comment. Buescher has had good speed so far. Two second place finishes in 12 races, and we know he is better in the second half, so
Thank you for taking a photo with me over by Victory lane!! Will be returning myself in the Fall
FYI - and I would love it if someone recalls the race - I remember a picture in a NASCAR media guide. Sometime between probably 1973 and 1975 there was a photo finish for second - and I don't think they could determine who was ahead. I want to say one car was the Bud Moore #15. Obviously it is different when it is "only" for second. And clearly scoring back then wasn't like it is today. But it was two cars that were absolutely dead even. I *think* it was a superspeedway - but it was 50 years, and I can't remember that far back!
I don't think anybody in the world would've bet money after Atlanta that there would be TWO intermediate finishes that were even closer before the year was even half over
This is the first race that I had the privilege to attend in person. I wish the finish had gone the other way, but... not sure I'll see another to top this one.
I saw you in the pits just before the start of the race, but didn't get a chance to say hello then and didn't see you afterwards.
I still don't understand how they got 0.0004 of a second at Daytona in Xfinity several years ago; that looked nowhere near as close as what we witnessed last night, or any of the three this year for that matter! What is it with 2024 and dead-heats?!?
It can always be closer!!! I’ve seen a dead heat before at the track 0.000 seconds?! lol
KANSAS never Disappoints
& Kyle Larson put on a hellava race !! He made moves I didn't think were possible
Same thing happened in the 2007 Pepsi 400. The 26 of McMurry was on top of the pylon, and they still went with it
6:52 photography hands sent me 😅😅😂😂😂
Good to meet you man, I really appreciate the time you took to talk to me and my brother. Definitely have to cover that SHR drama!
7:12 Bro looks like he's walking down the Bullard of Broken Dreams
This was hands down one of the best races and finish of all time. I know it’s the closest finish in history. But the whole race was perfect. I thought for sure Chris had won like everyone else, afterwards all I could say was WOW did that really happen. I enjoyed that race so much I stayed up watching the replay on FS2 lol
I honestly give props to Buescher. He had a chance to put Larson in the wall in 4. Respect for racing fair.
I couldn't have picked a better race to drag my friend to... his first race ever and I think I got him hooked lol
I don’t know how he did it, but Busch made up a whole 12 spots in the two laps that we had for overtime. A win feels dangerously close for the 8 car. Glad I stuck around to see the rest of it play out, I almost gave up on watching it with Busch having to restart 20th with Hamlin and Larson still out front
100% from me! And glad I got to meet you this weekend! Much love from KCP
The Kansas rain delay was a very lucky break for the Miami GP. If F1 doesn't get a ratings boost from fans looking for any racing they could find at that time, they have a serious problem. Yesterdays races were a perfect illustration of why NASCAR will always be America's favorite motorsport.
This race is proof we need Chicagoland back on the schedule
Bob Cutlass: IT’S TOO CLOSE TO CALL!!! TOO CLOSE TO CALL!!!
Darrell Cartrip: I DON’T BELIEVE IT!!! I DON’T BELIEVE IT!!!
Bob Cutlass: THE MOST SPECTACULAR UNBELIEVABLE FINISH IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD!!! AND WE DON’T EVEN KNOW WHO WON!!!
Truex got skunked out of another one. He was absolutely on the warpath and the last caution killed it. When he retires they should play a compilation of all the near wins he's had.
AHHHHMAZING FINISH. Truex got to 4th from 10th. Did nobody notice that Busch came from 21st to 8th in 2 laps????
I would even think kfb turned on purpose to climb positions
Im a ford fan, and im still having a blast this season. Cant wait to see how i feel when this streak ends
