FOX does their crank it up for like a minute, and they dumb down the trackside audio. So far, I'm liking the production tonight. Im here for the cars, not the talking dammit. So far very satisfied.

About the best race (production) ive seen in a while
I thought Amazon did a great job too.

My biggest problem with NBC is they make you flip over to Peacock for the post race show.

Ryan Blaney with an extremely admirable run to go from 13th to the win in a couple laps. Very fun to watch!!!

Amazon did a good job too, but I can't remember the last race I watched on TV that it actually sorta captured the feeling.

It was freakin sweet.

OMG Ross Chastain. Fighting for his playoff life has to take Hamlin out for the position and REVERSES across the finish line, only barely passed by Joey Logano, who advances because of that pass.

My goodness Ross Chastain has to be one of my favorite drivers. The king of creativity. Thats the same guy that got into the playoffs a few years ago with the infamous "wall ride" at Martinsville.

For those of us who don't follow nascar and enjoy sports with right turns, what was this all about anyway and how does the settlement make it better?

NASCAR is a Monopoly and the lawsuit was saying the NASCAR was using their Monopoly to harm the teams.

Michael Jordan (Yes that Michael Jordan), Denny Hamlin, and another team owner where the plaintiffs and NASCAR was the defendant.

Not a lot of details out yet.
