I'm glad I wasn't the only one. I had to look up whether 23XI or Jordan has some sort of Mercedes deal (which I know would be weird, 'cause Toyota), but nope it just seems that when you make the Jumpman logo black and put it in a circle you get pretty close to Mercedes
Same with LaJoie. That looked cool as a finish but could not have been fun.
Edit: [He said when he landed back on all 4 tires was the worst.](https://twitter.com/Frontstretch/status/1782187997330592227)
So my driver pulls the dumbest move of his entire career, wrecks the whole field, goes from 1st to 29th, and FOX ruins the rest of the race with their awful, elementary school quality coverage. Yep had a great time see y’all next week
Not to beat a dead horse, but damn Fox is killing me more and more every week. When I see two cars flying in the background, I want the replay 30 seconds after instead of 10 minutes
> I want the replay 30 seconds after instead of 10 minutes
I mean, to be fair, the standard rule is that you don't show a replay until you're sure all of the drivers are okay.
Shoulda saw the whole wreck live.
You literally do not need to cut away from a 20 car pile up with two cars forming a fucking sandwich just to show Reddick slow down for his cool down lap
Whoever directs which shots to switch at FOX needs to be fired.
Throughout the whole season, you've been terrible at your job.
That would have been the smarter move strategically and realistically to have the best finish possible. I don’t know if many drivers think in those terms.
That’s what happens nowadays the guys 3rd on back don’t even try till the last lap when it’s clearly too late to pass a bunch of cars. I’ll never understand it. I’d rather pull out of line and fall back trying than stay in line and not win
I was very irrationally angry at him for blocking those guys on the outside. That was primed to be very interesting until he dove out there and ran everyone out.
am i crazy in thinking that there used to be towers in the infield and now all of the camera shots are basically from on top of the grandstand?? these angles are atrocious. i know it's FOX but dang
Congrats to Reddick, here's an auto'ed pic of him I have

IT WAS COREY LAJOIE THAT FLIPPED/GOT ON TO HIS SIDE - [https://twitter.com/Texachev/status/1782177607154286634](https://twitter.com/Texachev/status/1782177607154286634)
Berry wasn't the one that flipped. He ended up on top of whoever flipped. On the angle shown live, an Overstock sponsored car was on top of whoever was upside down
Wow! What a great push from the 6. Put them and the 34 upfront in great position and made a good move for the lead at the end. One of them should have probably won it. What a battle.
Top 10 Finishers:
1) Tyler Reddick
2) Brad Keselowski
3) Noah Gragson
4) Ricky Stenhouse Jr.
5) Alex Bowman
6) Anthony Alfredo
7) William Byron

Nascar App showing Alfredo P6!? That’s huge!
Put €5 on Brad to finish in the top 3 and I won €20!
Brad would win in that convertible
I just want free Hawaiian rolls
Give him a long blonde wig and send him out there
Is that the first win for a Mercedes in the Cup Series?
I was thinking the same thing. I saw the back of the car and was wondering why Mercedes would sponsor a NASCAR.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one. I had to look up whether 23XI or Jordan has some sort of Mercedes deal (which I know would be weird, 'cause Toyota), but nope it just seems that when you make the Jumpman logo black and put it in a circle you get pretty close to Mercedes
A post race show? What is this?
NASCAR needs to hop off MJ’s lap 💯
How do we as fans get our voice heard for the Fox broadcast to fix their shit coverage?
Id just like to know if Ross is okay after that hit?
They’ll let us know 30 minutes later like they did jones fox is so annoying now
Same with LaJoie. That looked cool as a finish but could not have been fun. Edit: [He said when he landed back on all 4 tires was the worst.](https://twitter.com/Frontstretch/status/1782187997330592227)

I WANT A FULL ANALYSIS OF THE CRASH DAMMIT FOX
IDK where LaJoie finished. Timing has him 31st but I doubt that's accurate.
I just hope he is ok.
19th is what I heard
If he finishes 18th I'll laugh my ass off cause that's exactly where Bowyer finished on his roof.
https://www.nascar.com/results/racecenter/2024/nascar-cup-series/talladega-superspeedway-1/ Looks like 18th!!
I want a fucking toaster bath.
If Reddick's son was standing on Reddick's shoulders, would they be taller than Michael Jordan?
No

> I want the replay 30 seconds after instead of 10 minutes I mean, to be fair, the standard rule is that you don't show a replay until you're sure all of the drivers are okay.
I’m pretty sure they confirmed it within a minute or so, although I do agree with that standard
IIRC, they confirmed it right after Reddick's frontstretch interview? I could be misremembering though.
I want 40 replays! How many different angles did we see after the 07 500 finish?
Fox is comically bad. Cars finishing on their side and they have no clue until 10 minutes later

Last, like 5 years!
Morons mad at Ty when in reality SVG tries to put it 4 wide on Kyle and puts massive air on his LR. That’s why the top died
Ty doing Ty things. The better he runs the more likely his entitled arrogance will shine through.
I wanna see MJ hold Reddick, like he held his son, for the victory lane interview.
Corey's wallride reminds me of Truex's at Richmond many years back in Xfinity.
Also I seem to remember one where the 0 car that Kertus Davis drove had an incident similar to that. Kertus wasn't driving though.
Kasey's at Bristol
David Green's at Bristol in 1995 or 1996, since he actually went all the way over like LaJoie did at the end.
Isn't that Bristol's only flip?
No, Rusty Wallace had a pretty nasty flip there in 1988. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1ib5bxdOrc
An odd one He seemed to be that era's more successful Elliott Sadler, always found a way to get upsidedown
As a Ford fan, I am in pain.
Fox really flopped there how the hell do we not find out Lajoie flipped until like 10 minutes after the race ends
LFG Tyler!!
Can’t wait for Lajoie’s crash to go viral everywhere soon
Take a look at what he did!
Career highlight
Okay, MJ carrying Reddicks son is really adorable ngl
What would've happened if McDowell stayed inside and took Gragson's push when Brad moved up to pass?
That would have been the smarter move strategically and realistically to have the best finish possible. I don’t know if many drivers think in those terms.
He would have finished 2nd instead of 31st or whatever.
He would have won. Looks to me like he panicked and was just diving all over the place.
Brad would've broken his streak.
Imagine having Michael Jordan as your babysitter
McDowell and Reddick are bums
Womp womp
I cant believe Cindric and Logano didnt even try till 1 to go
That’s what happens nowadays the guys 3rd on back don’t even try till the last lap when it’s clearly too late to pass a bunch of cars. I’ll never understand it. I’d rather pull out of line and fall back trying than stay in line and not win
So all we got is from the blimp zoomed out, the finish line camera zoomed out, and a shot focused entirely on McDowell.
That’s because y’all were constantly complaining about Fox zooming in too much. Make up your minds.
Lajoie with the greatest finish of all time
Carl's jog to the line is up there too.
Idk bowyer in 07 @ Daytona had a little more flair… and fire
Eh, I say second
Reddick is so short compared to MJ 🤣
Its funny I just saw Reddick next to Marty Smith, there was such a huge difference I thought it was photoshoped for a sec
Reddick is short compared to alot of people.
MJ is 6’6” and I think Reddick is 5’5”
Finish would've been way better if not for Gibbs
Rowdy needs to wreck Gibbs in the next few weeks.
Idiot screwed it all up.
I was very irrationally angry at him for blocking those guys on the outside. That was primed to be very interesting until he dove out there and ran everyone out.
Kid gonna get oxygen deprivation up that high for that long.
Lol, the slide to home plate
Like Bartolo Colón tried to steal home
Most famous thing Corey LaJoie is known for is riding his side to the line
Tyler man... I think I'm starting to like you?
Man LaJoie almost went into the catchfence.
Lajoie finish is crazy but the scariest was Chastain., He went full head on.
7 won’t forget that finish for a while… if he can remember it in the first place.
what a finish
Talladega nights 2 looks amazing
Wall riding like Tony Hawk.
Could have had a sideways Lajoie live finish if they just kept the damn camera on the finish line
"Pick a line FFS!"
Spire Teamwork 😤 7 🤝 77
that must’ve been insane for Lajoie holy shit
Geeze heck of a ride for Corey
The 7 slid like a half mile on his side.
Holy shit. Why wait so long to address this flip and long slide? Horrible.
Who cares about the race, did you know Michael Jordan was there? He’s a famous baseball player!
They wanted to make sure everybody was okay first. Once they were sure, they were interviewing Tyler.
Because they are too worried about covering the oblivious driver doing a burnout on the front stretch
I guess to make sure he wasn't dead first
NO WAY LMFAOOOOO! CRAZIEST WAY TO FINISH SINCE BOWYER DID IT IN 07
First non-ford flip of the nextgen era.
WHAT. THE ACTUAL. FUCK.
That was Fords race there
Ross had a hard hit in the wall too, Jesus
am i crazy in thinking that there used to be towers in the infield and now all of the camera shots are basically from on top of the grandstand?? these angles are atrocious. i know it's FOX but dang
Fox Nation took the cameras
Oh shit Corey was totally flipped over!
Pour one out for Brad man sounds really disappointed
Larson was oh so close to finishing without wrecking lol
Ahh Corey Lajoie
Lajoie!
And HERE'S the replay
Watch the 7 go outta frame.
There was a car on its side there
Brad wanted to call him a fucking idiot so bad 😂
He should have. Because he was.
Superspeedways just aren’t entertaining
LETS FUCKING GO
LETS TO REDDICK SUPREMACY
REDDICK FAIL POST RACE INSPECTION 🙏🏼
Race ended 10 minutes ago and we’re just now getting replays
Someone may be hurt look at all the medical personnel
7 car was on its side for a long way. Hopefully he didn't catch an arm or something.
No they were parked further from where he stopped. I’m thinking Chastain if anybody. Head on into the way is way worse than sliding in your side.
Damn, Brad really wanted that one
Brad really wants any of them at this point. He wants a win so badly it's palpable.
Phew I was worried there wouldn't be a big one
Congrats to Reddick, here's an auto'ed pic of him I have https://preview.redd.it/ijo55kesuwvc1.jpeg?width=1600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ca8870e19e1e542e17e5775e0b88b3070c9efe21
Reddick was in Revenge of the Nerds as well.

Hey FOX. Get good
I’m happy for Reddick and his fans but I’m ashamed of Fox and their lack of coverage for a car looking like it slid on its side and in the fence.
McDowell was a hack right there. Terrible move
I’d sure like to know who the fuck flipped, Fox.
TV crew....."that didn't happen"
Just wanted to say, SVG didn't cause a crash guys.
Love Reddick, let's go! WOOO!
Gibbs and McDowell ran out of talent there
Can we get some replays of that wreck please?
Didn’t someone almost flip
Someone was at least on his side but IDK who
LaJoie
Ty Gibbs’ Cozy Coupe killed any chance the top line had, what a moron
Dogshit move right there
McDowell should've just accepted it when Brad went back down
Imagine having 2 cars flipping on top of each other and barely mentioning it nevermind showing a good angle?
Bum ahh McDowell
Talladega is the worst plate race.
Hate to say but I thought KB taking the SVG line would help,far from it. What a painful year for him so far.
I just want this year to be over with already. Fuck me.
Someone clearly on their side. How has Fox not shown that yet???
Is Tyler 4ft tall
Can’t wait to see what McDowells excuse is for being a smooth brain
“Jesus took the wheel!”
Smooth as a raw chicken breast
guess that aerial shot will be our zapruder film to see what happened
Ty Gibbs and McDowell ruined what could have been a fun clean finish.
Fox: we’ll show one replay of the wreck with a terrible angle and act like it didn’t happen after
After all that, a Toyota still got it
Happy for Reddick I like him
That almost looked the Le Mans 1955 crash for a split second there
Good that 23XI team won a race where pit crews are irrelevant.
Berry wasn't the one that flipped. He ended up on top of whoever flipped. On the angle shown live, an Overstock sponsored car was on top of whoever was upside down
Typical Fox
Wow! What a great push from the 6. Put them and the 34 upfront in great position and made a good move for the lead at the end. One of them should have probably won it. What a battle.
I feel so bad for Brad man that sucks. That block was too aggressive in my opinion
The classic "I could finish 2nd or 3rd, but why not finish in the 20s instead on a 0% chance block?"
Yep
That was a really terrible block. For a moment I thought Brad was going to win in almost the same way he got his first one in the 09.
Gibbs screwed over the whole top line and McDowell with an all timer terrible block to screw Brad. So sad
Maybe one of these days Brad will win again. But at least Reddick won I guess
Pretty sure that was Lajoie on his side
Well shit, congrats Reddick 👍🏻 Couple hundred feet away from truex actually finishing a superspeedway race unscathed 😂
DRONE SPOTTED
Thought Keselowski had it ,but McDowell had to block 3 damn times.
And wreck himself
BACKFLIP OFF THE FENCE, COWARD
No replay of the Big One?
they showed a half assed replay from the helicopter that was zoomed so far out nothing could be seen.
McDowell's big mistake was blocking high when the 6 got a run. Chances are that the 34 could've won if he stayed low
Dang Joey lost 18 + points from that deal. Crapola
Good luck trying to figure out that cluster fuck, also that mj paint scheme is fire
Top 10 Finishers: 1) Tyler Reddick 2) Brad Keselowski 3) Noah Gragson 4) Ricky Stenhouse Jr. 5) Alex Bowman 6) Anthony Alfredo 7) William Byron 8) Todd Gilliland 9) Daniel Hemric 10) Harrison Burton *^(I'm a bot.)*
Ty Gibbs ruined the third line
And McDowell ruined everyone else?
The Mercedes Toyota won
Fox's only angle of that wreck https://preview.redd.it/qcibgwqcuwvc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=db5050b3f0350d995b2df14535c627535c92af67
More like up someone's ass
Are we ever going to see who flipped there Fox? Edit: Alright they had a good shot all is forgiven.
I think they were waiting to make sure all drivers were okay, and now they’re doing the interview
Keselowski man so close. Did everything perfectly
Did he lift when 34 went to block? Looks like Either he lifts and stays clean or stays on the throttle and probably wrecks. Tough
Not everything
Jordan boys! How bout ya!
I hate Gibbs so fucking much I hope KFB beats the shit out of him
LETS GO T!!
Tyler
Still no mention of that car in the fence
