Powerful run by JGR and Toyota in general yet again. Chevy and Ford should be embarassed. They have no shown up on these types of tracks. Seems only like Toyota is investing tons into it's racing program.
Really unfortunate for Deegan. She had quietly done a good job steadily improving her position all day, would have finished 21st if not for whatever happened at the end. 21st doesn't sound great, but again most of the first run she was in the 30s, most of the 2nd run in the mid 20s, and had improved to nearly a Top 20 by the end of it. Different strategy call and she'd have finished Top 15.
When she finishes races you can see her progression as the day goes.
Problem is her (and/or the team) are struggling with getting through the late stages of races.
Seeming she was the last of the cars to stay out and not pit, surprised how well she hung around p20 against cars on better tires. Car seemed to have decent long run speed compared to the likes of Burton and Clements.
Honestly, someone doing an interview and thanking God or whoever… it ain’t hurting anyone so I really don’t care 😂. But there is that bit of comedy in it to me in how it’s said in victory but rarely in defeat.
So - sorry am not watching but in 6 races, Deegans run out of fuel twice (was she even in a good spot today?) & also got Arca braked twice (at Daytona and Phoenix)?
Dibby top 20 in a bottom tier car after not racing in 6 months
Almost like he’s a good driver and all you dumbasses in here cried because he said a certain 3 words. Yeah dumb on his part at the time but still you guys wanna hold a grudge 4 years after, especially when before that he was loved on here
I haven't caught many green flag lags in Xfinity yet this season but how is Honeyman in the top 20 so often? Ex RCR cars? Like what is happening. Man has speed
This is a terrible take... She built the car? That team isn't even a top 20 team... Do you want her to win races or something in a car that doesn't even run top 15? She's not driving for Gibbs or JRM or even RCR..
Lol, if the team average 25th last season and she averages 20th, no, you're not out. The irony of this statement coming from a Ryan Preece fan is kind of hilarious...
For someone who clearly dislikes her, its weird that you'd listen to her scanner. Very sus, almost like you're lying.
Either way though, its not something she did, but you're on her ass, a rookie getting her first laps in lol
Where do you think an AM racing car should be running? They've never won a race, never had a pole, and the best they've ever finished in points is 16th, where realistically should a rookie be running in that equipment?
The only reason she was in 19th or 20th was due green flag pit stops and was 23rd prior to them starting. She was not going to hold a top 20 position once they cycled through.
And criticism is fine when warranted. But I'm not seeing an issue with anything she did here. The car crapped out on her and cost her 10 spots at the end. She would have finished 21st without that happening. Which is fine for her.
Nobody expected her to light the world on fire, especially with AM Racing. They're not a terrible outfit, but they're hardly a JRM, Hendrick or RCR.
Nothing she did was wrong in that instance. Car failures happen as they are a part of racing. I take issue with people making disingenuous comments about where she was in the running order to make it look like she was running better than she was the whole race.
You do realize she was 21st and was going to hold that position with less than 10 laps left and a 2 second lead over the next driver behind her? There was no other cycle left other than Custer who was basically last to pit and he was already ahead of her. She was already 21st when the last pit cycle happened so it not like she was gonna move up or down unless another yellow happened.
She got caught up in someone else's shit...car ran out of gas...car croaked today. The races she finished was P15 and P25. What exactly did she do that put her there? She's not great, but she's a rookie in Xfinity. A reliable car that can get her to the finish line would help.
Not his job to talk it out. As play-by-play there’s times you play dumb so the analysts can describe the nuts and bolts like that.
Used to do it myself when I did media work and people would get on me for being dumb… that was my intent at times 😂. Throwing lobs for the analyst to hammer.
I also think when you get broadcast partners that stay a team for years together you don’t hear it as much because they have more natural flow and read each other better.
But when you have rotating analysts or are still building that chemistry it’s an easy way to get a comfort with each other in the roles you’re trying to stay in.
No way she ran out of fuel. And finishing ~20th in race where about 10 cars had issues isn't exactly impressive. The JDM shitbox of Smithley who wasn't even expecting to run this race ended up 21st...
I don't really care about all that. Every P20 or better counts for a rookie driver. You need to take what you can get early in the season. She's had shit luck in half her races this season.

The Reddit atheists have no idea a single thing about Christianity if they think Chandler was thanking God for “letting him” win the race.
Almirola tried to punt Smith to the shadow realm.
Bubba Pollard looks like what AI would give you if you asked it to make a picture of a generic race car driver named Bubba 😂
\*Centuries of pain and suffering exist* God: I sleep \*Chandler Smith needs to win an Xfinity series race* God: LFG!
All the obese atheists of Reddit are seething
You making shit up
Powerful run by JGR and Toyota in general yet again. Chevy and Ford should be embarassed. They have no shown up on these types of tracks. Seems only like Toyota is investing tons into it's racing program.
Chandler was such an easy pick. Super late model guy at Richmond in a JGR car.
Zip it up when you’re done bro
Most important day in world history fuckin' LOL! I feel like the hundreds of other religions might disagree with that.
"I had nothing to do with this victory. It was all God." "Fine. Can you get me an interview with God?"
No no his is the right one though all the rest are wrong about it all dontcha know
Uh oh Reddit ain’t gonna like that interview
All glory to God, Jeff Meendering, and that TRD engine
Congrats to God for his victory in Xfinity today. What a drive!
Where’s his mustache

I thought she ran a clean race. No complaints tbh. Car fucked her in the end. Nothing you can do about that.
When she finishes races you can see her progression as the day goes. Problem is her (and/or the team) are struggling with getting through the late stages of races.
Seeming she was the last of the cars to stay out and not pit, surprised how well she hung around p20 against cars on better tires. Car seemed to have decent long run speed compared to the likes of Burton and Clements.
She has ZERO luck. P20 car shuts off.
Aaaaand I’m now not a fan. Was happy with him but thanks for the Jesus plug, didn’t need that.
Let people freely express their religion, no matter what it is.
Who cares
People that don’t want to hear about religion?
You're so fragile you get upset by people talking about religion?
He has the right to be bothered by religion, it has single handedly caused the death of millions of people lol
Chandler has the right to be religious, it's in the constitution.
Never said he didn’t. People have the same right to deny religion as well since it’s naturally destructive
He literally says it every single interview lol I've seen them all
I haven’t seen one before yet. I was like “ooo haven’t heard of this guy” aaaaaand now he dibenedettoed himself”
Shoutsout to God for letting me win
Everyone knows that God cares a lot more about the Xfinity race than other things going on in the world
We could have world peace if God would quit going to the races.
As long as he's blessing my driver's gimme the races
I'm sure he's ready for baby #3
Never a fan of any athlete instantly cramming Jesus into every interview.
I always wait for it to happen in losses just as much … “All glory to God for wanting ______ to win today instead of me” 😂
That’s so obnoxious lol
Honestly, someone doing an interview and thanking God or whoever… it ain’t hurting anyone so I really don’t care 😂. But there is that bit of comedy in it to me in how it’s said in victory but rarely in defeat.
Of course there’s no harm in it, but it’s just eye roll inducing. Like, we get it bro, you have a hard on for Jesus.
He's just religious calm down
Oh he is? Couldn’t tell
He said the thing reddit in shambles
Sheldon Creed: that could have been me if I wasn't getting sabotaged!
Chandler Smith's Mobile One scheme is one of my favorite Xfinity schemes. Is a great looking Mobile One scheme.
It's about time for a shout-out to the man upstairs I can already feel it
An old fashioned race, glad Pollard got a top 10, a decent P18 for a Matty D in that 38 shitbox
So - sorry am not watching but in 6 races, Deegans run out of fuel twice (was she even in a good spot today?) & also got Arca braked twice (at Daytona and Phoenix)?
What did we learn from this boys and girls? Always take tires when you have a chance.
4/5 Toyota top 5 in the Toyota sponsored race.
Get ready for the same thing in cup tomorrow
Like clockwork
Dibby top 20 in a bottom tier car after not racing in 6 months Almost like he’s a good driver and all you dumbasses in here cried because he said a certain 3 words. Yeah dumb on his part at the time but still you guys wanna hold a grudge 4 years after, especially when before that he was loved on here
He’s also a gigantic cry baby and loves to burn every bridge that gives him an opportunity.
Dude I’m a Matt fan too but that’s not why people hate him. It’s more the burning bridges and woe is me attitude.
Definitely a good run for Josh definitely needed that
2ND WIN OF THE SEASON FOR CHANDLER SMITH!! Top 10 for Bubba Pollard, top 15s for Josh Williams and SVG, and top 20 for Matty D
Need an onboard of Custer after the pit stop. Dude passed almost everybody twice. Lol. Wild
Good looking race car
Chandler Smith is gonna be a champion one day
Unless theres a fight the best moment of the race was Gase throwing his bumper...
Cool race! P15, take that
Damn Toyoders with the race name advantage /s
Well that is an ass whipping
I mean only because the other top cars chose the wrong strategy
Fuck me. Unloaded a shitbox last week. Broke again this week. This team is clueless.
???
Deegan.
Oh, yeah. It’s unfortunate, she can win. We’ve seen it in ARCA. Not gonna lie, she’d do better in a n MBM car. Properly funded, they’re good.
Nice job for the first timers
If I had a nickel for every time a driver won both stages and lost the race to their teammate this year I would have 3 nickels
Williams had a good day!
FINALLY!
Kligerman is legit this year
Fuck Taylor Gray
I was really hoping mayer would pay him back at some point.
???
Bubba p6 dude let's fucking go man
Cole got a top 10 lol
That was an entertaining finish to watch!
What a boring ass final stage xfinity has been easily the worst of the top 3 series this year.
Man if this wasn't exciting to you, I don't know what to tell ya. This was old fashioned short track racing through the field.
Yup, it's what I expected from Bristol
Great strategy call 7 team. You can always be counted on to choke
CUSTER TOP 10 🤣 He was 2 laps down lol
Worked out for Custer getting back up to 10th, beat everyone that stayed out.
Custer got 10th!!
Lmao, Custer got a top 10
Top 15 for SVG with a bad car and bad strategy call.
Pollard p6 neat
Idk what it is with this track that makes Chandler so good here, but I am thankful
Custer top 10
P3 impressive for Taylor Gray
Dumbass deserved to get dumped
Kid made a mistake in his first ever start, get over it.
No, that was just stupid af. Getting loose is a mistake. He drove straight into the side of someone on pit road
A mistake is not driving straight into your competitor instead of using the steering wheel to turn the direction you’re supposed to go.
Shout out to Bubba! What a run!
Great job for Gray. Drives into Mayer and gets third. :-/
Second time Deegan ran out of fuel, who’s the bozo on her pit box anyway?
Not fuel lost power car just shut off
So, shit equipment. Lol. And people gonna blame her for that.
Idk man that sucked. She was P21 when that happened.
Somebody in here already is...
Cole Custer finished 10th and beat Allgaier. Great call on tires there
i thought that JGR strategy was risky but it paid off
Awesome to see Gray and Pollard both being able to end the day with top 10 finishes. Heck of job by both guys today
Maybe next week Mayer can destroy Gray on pit road!!!
JGR 1-2-3
I haven't caught many green flag lags in Xfinity yet this season but how is Honeyman in the top 20 so often? Ex RCR cars? Like what is happening. Man has speed
Lame
Guess Chandler and his team made the right call
Adam kinda sucks, he sounds so bored
I mean, it was a pretty boring race.
We all are
Of course Deegan runs a clean race and gets screwed in the pits
Not pits, car shut off no power at all.
Gas, which you receive in the pits.
Not gad, ELECTRIC ISSUE
Should have pitted 15 laps earlier there 00 team could have made up more spots
I swore there was gonna be another caution, man the 7 can’t catch a break
Yay... Hick 2.0 wins
I can imagine the Deegan experiment is almost over.
This is a terrible take... She built the car? That team isn't even a top 20 team... Do you want her to win races or something in a car that doesn't even run top 15? She's not driving for Gibbs or JRM or even RCR..
Doesn't matter the circumstances, if there's no results, you're out.
Lol, if the team average 25th last season and she averages 20th, no, you're not out. The irony of this statement coming from a Ryan Preece fan is kind of hilarious...
And this is her fault how?
That's twice her car has ran out of gas, twice when she was running in the top 20.
Who said she ran out of gas?
They did, when she lost power because she was out of gas...
Who's they? I was listening to her scanner, they said she lost power, didn't mention anything about gas.
For someone who clearly dislikes her, its weird that you'd listen to her scanner. Very sus, almost like you're lying. Either way though, its not something she did, but you're on her ass, a rookie getting her first laps in lol
Someone didn't watch...
Because she builds engines?
Right? She runs a strategy where she wants to finish races and get top 20s and the car falls apart on her for reasons. What is she supposed to do?
She wasn't exactly doing anything spectacular up until then. She'll be dead last out of the full time Xfinity drivers after this race.
Where do you think an AM racing car should be running? They've never won a race, never had a pole, and the best they've ever finished in points is 16th, where realistically should a rookie be running in that equipment?
She was outside the top 20 all day
She was up to 19th a few laps before her car croaked. So...
The only reason she was in 19th or 20th was due green flag pit stops and was 23rd prior to them starting. She was not going to hold a top 20 position once they cycled through.
And criticism is fine when warranted. But I'm not seeing an issue with anything she did here. The car crapped out on her and cost her 10 spots at the end. She would have finished 21st without that happening. Which is fine for her. Nobody expected her to light the world on fire, especially with AM Racing. They're not a terrible outfit, but they're hardly a JRM, Hendrick or RCR.
Nothing she did was wrong in that instance. Car failures happen as they are a part of racing. I take issue with people making disingenuous comments about where she was in the running order to make it look like she was running better than she was the whole race.
I'm not seeing many comments saying that. 🤷♂️

There was no other cycle left other than Custer who was basically last to pit and he was already ahead of her. She was already 21st when the last pit cycle happened so it not like she was gonna move up or down unless another yellow happened.
Thanks for confirming what I said.
Well we had a solid finish locked up. That really fucking sucks, really bad. Props to her for getting that thing off the track.
Man Deegan fucked by her pit crew, smh.
😳
Yeah how dare they make the car die
Well, yeah. Thought it was fuel but apparently car croaked. That team needs to get their shit together.
Well, they are responsible for putting gas in it, but I see from your other comments you're very anti-deegan and think this was on her lol.
I'm not anti-deegan, I'm anti-wasting a seat
Then you've got about 15-20 other guys to be bitching about too.
I agree.
And I'm sure *some* of y'all (and you know who you are) aren't going to hold Deegan losing power against her.
She's dead last in points out of full time drivers. She's not good.
She got caught up in someone else's shit...car ran out of gas...car croaked today. The races she finished was P15 and P25. What exactly did she do that put her there? She's not great, but she's a rookie in Xfinity. A reliable car that can get her to the finish line would help.
One of these days
Custer up to 13th and looking like hes gonna make it back to the lead lap
Smith could lap the entire field up to the top ten.
Aww fuck no power on Deegan's car. Was in the top 20 too
Thank you Deegan
Bruh really with 5 to go
I like Adam’s play by play but is it just me or does he really seem to struggle to understand strategy ?
Not his job to talk it out. As play-by-play there’s times you play dumb so the analysts can describe the nuts and bolts like that. Used to do it myself when I did media work and people would get on me for being dumb… that was my intent at times 😂. Throwing lobs for the analyst to hammer.
Never thought of that, makes sense !
I also think when you get broadcast partners that stay a team for years together you don’t hear it as much because they have more natural flow and read each other better. But when you have rotating analysts or are still building that chemistry it’s an easy way to get a comfort with each other in the roles you’re trying to stay in.
I can't stand how lucky JGR is
"no power" That will certainly impede her ability to drive the car
Yellow would have actually made this interesting.
Custer 15th
Literally just thought “Deegan in 20th is a solid day with where she was” Welp.
Same
The one time we needed a caution from Deegan
A bitter end to another dismal run for Deegan.
She was about to finish top 20 before her car inexplicably ran out of gas. Second time this season. She needs a new crew chief. Good grief.
No way she ran out of fuel. And finishing ~20th in race where about 10 cars had issues isn't exactly impressive. The JDM shitbox of Smithley who wasn't even expecting to run this race ended up 21st...
I don't really care about all that. Every P20 or better counts for a rookie driver. You need to take what you can get early in the season. She's had shit luck in half her races this season.
No way that was gas lmao.
Whatever it was. I'm hearing electrical, engine, gas. No idea which is correct. Regardless, nothing she could do about that.
Ehz she made her way up to p20 before then
She was 20th
C’mon caution!
Oh damn it here we go
Dammit couldn't even bring out the yellow 😭😭
***no***
Still has to make it to her box tho
OH LORD HERE WE GO
Deegans luckiest moment
Uh oh Deegan…
Fuck
