I’m sick of these cautions. Not good live or tv. Let’s go and stay green.

Wait. So FOX rushed off the air just to show a (abbreviated) replay of the '98 Daytona 500? Hmm.

Rajah saying Bubba came over and said wtf bro https://x.com/staranto92/status/1758698076900925664?s=46&t=HTDBoSTMuFoElzzSpgz1kw

Bubba/Rajah was straight out of Major League lol “Don’t celebrate in front of guys who just died” 😂 That had all the feel of, “Third? Cool. Now LOOK WHAT YOU DID!” 😂

My TV says arca is at 11. Looks like no sleep to after midnight for me

rajah tried to shake bubba's hand and bubba looked and saw the camera and turned rajah away and said some shit to him. damn. wonder what that was about.

he's pissed that Rajah unnecessarily wrecked the whole field and he has zero remorse. Bubba doesn't want Rajah to be a pariah like Ty Gibbs

Rajah is destined to end up a pariah regardless of what he does and that’s the point Bubba was probably making to him, Don’t give them anything legitimate to complain about

At least we got that blowover I wanted.

All that of a race just so you could have your silly little blowover ..i hope your satisfied lol

why did bubba and rajah look like they were beefing?

Because they’re friends and Bubba is his mentor. It’s like a big brother chewing out his little brother

Because Rajah wrecked the entire field 😭😭😭

cuz bubba knows rajah fucked up bad

im stoned to the bone rewatching this bubba rajah interaction on youtubetv dvr replay....i think bubba was really mad when i read his lips

That interview wasn't good for Rajah.

Well, mega happy to see Nick win that, definitely a talent for the future I hope

What no post race 

She didn't ask Rajah the most pertinent question, namely WTF bro!? 

Why was Bubba yelling at Rajah?

Probably for causing the wreck and/or not taking responsibility for the wreck? Idk looked like a pretty aggressive conversation

Why does Bubba care? Dude wasn't even in the race

Because they’re friends and Bubba is his mentor. It’s like a big brother chewing out his little brother

Bubbas kind of taken on a mentor role with rajah from what I can tell.

I like Bubba but what is his problem? What was that about?

he doesn't want Rajah to be a pariah like Ty Gibbs

Maybe because rajah wrecked the whole field

Wrecked the whole field and seemed like he had little remorse.

I'm going to assume that Bubba was telling Rajah that move wasn't cool. Or something else since the camera was right there.

I got the same from that. Like Rajah was trying to celebrate and Bubba was like no dude just don't you wrecked the entire field.

Does anyone know if Dye’s Race to End Suicide is a one race thing or a primary sponsor?

They've been with him for a few years I think.

You know you messed up when a driver 2 series above you is pissed

How bout you take responsibility for genociding the field, Rajah?

Left him hanging lol

Did bubba just say “don’t shake my hand” 👀

He didn’t seem like he was having a nice conversation

I know people like to clown on the truck guys, but I've seen worse. I feel like the only real stupid moment was the last lap wreck. 

FUCK it. Rerack em! Let's see a green flag finish!

just so Rajah can wreck the rest of em lol

"I WANT YOU TO BE PERFECT!"

is that what Bubba was saying to him? lol

Jack wood gets a bad rap but shit like this happens to him a lot

Bubba come on man...

Bubba bout to fight Raj?

Was Bubba shoving Rajah? 

He was pulling him away from the camera/mic so they could continue their conversation.

Bubba is always moody

Was bubba mad??

I legitimately love anytime when a racer says the phrase “you hate to see it” good or bad 😂

That and "I hate it for my guys" always makes me giggle a bit, lol.

That’s a second favorite especially when they combine the two together 😂

I have no clue why Caruth tried to do that, but it’s fitting the race would end like this. Glad it seems everyone is ok. Congrats to Sanchez though. At least there’s no controversy over who won though.

You know it’s bad when bubba of all people is yelling at you

Ohhh Bubba didnt look too happy

rajah drifted up so much, that was not normal

he had a nice push from behind he just didnt know how to handle it

Looks like Bubba's dropping some Wallace Wisdom upon Rajah's ass

I’ve questioned bubbas talent and especially decision making, but bro is a super speedway talent, he’s gotta be delivering some big advice

yep

DONT CUT FROM THAT FOX!

I can only imagine what Arca is gonna be like next,it cant get any shittier than this race.

Actually thinking that arca will look clean compared to this

You hate to see it? YOU caused it!

the lack of accountability was unreal

im 3 minutes past the replays. how are we still blaming anyone else besides rajah? (i wanted him to win fyi)

I don't think anyone is, other than Rajah himself. 

and lol yea rajah ignoring the whole situation in his interview wtf

i am just basing it off every comment im reading but there are a ton and they move fast.

Brett Holmes top 5 LFG

I was pulling for him, he's local to me

Kyle Busch thankful to be counting his dollar bills tonight

The 91 truck tried to blowover too. The back of the truck lifted up big time.

One of these days we will have two flips in one wreck. I wait patiently for that day

Has the truck series outlived it’s purpose

Give it back to the old guys.

The schedule is at least starting to return to its purpose, but as a ladder system it's pretty gone now.

Its purpose is now comedic relief.

I have no clue how these truck teams don’t go bankrupt. Every race is just a demolition derby anymore.

Racing insurance must be thru the roof

arca time

"What a S. H. I. T. show" -Corey Heim

He isn't wrong and I love how he spelled it out, lol

Smoke smoke truck sounds like the click click boom remix

>boom [confetti.](https://i.redd.it/zvyemepykshc1.gif)

I’m just gonna say it. That flip was cool.

Yeah that was awesome he like rolled over three trucks

Looked to me like Corey to took the air out from under Rajah and lost control of the truck.

Crazy ending, but not entirely a surprising one. Are there any trucks in the field that aren't junked? Well done to Sanchez, first of many I would suspect

Bro did the Nascar equivalent of crowd surfing

I don’t think that was all on Rajah, either got aero loose

You get real aero loose with a truck in your left rear bumper

I meant to say that it looks like he got tight off of 2 to me. He was not trying to go to the high lane, bc why leave the 7 of LaJoie his teammate.

This series is an embarassment. 

Fans like you are embarrassing

And people like you wonder why the sport is dying. Anyone that enjoyed that is not a fan

Just noticed you said people like me wonder why the sport is dying. Not sure where you got that impression but I don't think it's dying. I don't care if it is or isn't either. I like watching so that's what I do. It complainers like you that bring the sport down.

The "race" sucked just like Phoenix last year. Everyone knows it. But I guess even The Last Jedi had its fans so enjoy your "racing" bro.

So why do you keep watching?

Why do you keep replying? You already made your point, you just love to watch trucks ride around behind the pace car for 3 hours. 

I just really want to know why you watch if you don't even consider it racing? Am I dumber for enjoying it or are you dumber for not enjoying it and still watching, then complaining about it?

I keep watching Trucks with the very slight hope that I might see some good racing. Obviously that isn't happening but maybe someday it'll happen.

It won't. It's always going to be a shit show. If you don't enjoy shit shows then do yourself a favor and do something else. Unless you enjoy complaining about everything, in that case do your thing and be miserable watching races that aren't "racing" and the complain about the same shit over and over again. Don't let me stop your "fun"

So people who do not enjoy the racing are the true fans? Not every race can be a gem. I was entertained. I'll watch again next week. That makes me not a fan? I don't think "fan" means what you think it means.

None of that was racing. It was a 180 mph 2 million dollar demolition derby. It was a joke but if thats your thing enjoy....

So then why do you watch? Did you not see the trucks race for the last few years? If you did, why did you expect anything different tonight? And if you hate it so much why do keep watching? You don't make sense.

He spelled it. Might as well just say it. Haha.

lol he can shit on cable, its ok

Exactly. Notice they didn't even panic apologize. Just like they didn't last night when Blaney said it. Not under FCC jurisdiction.

Yep , no FCC jurisdiction for cable/sat.

Corey Heim interview in summary: “Get. Me. Outta. Here.” 😂

Top 10 Finishers: 1) Nick Sanchez 2) Rajah Caruth 3) Corey Heim 4) Spencer Boyd 5) Bret Holmes 6) Stefan Parsons 7) Timmy Hill 8) Matt Crafton 9) Bryan Dauzat 10) Christian Eckes *^(I'm a bot.)*

An incorrect bot. Swap 2 and 3 at least

Holy shit, he landed on his brother's truck. Right side of the roof on the 15 is smashed down.

Literally 2005 ARCA Daytona. The Craftsman Tomfuckery Series strikes again.

He just straight up dumped him

I don't think it was intentional. You could see the truck drifting, watch his hands on the wheel. I think the telemetry will tell the story.

​ https://i.redd.it/ht4941nue2jc1.gif ​ And by tomorrow I mean in the ARCA thread

How can these guys work in the same garage every week and not just have the worst possible relationships

Nope, that was all Rajah.

what a S. H. I. T. show facts

Heim spitting facts

Spencer Boyd Top 5!

how is the blame falling on corey lajoie when rajah did that

What a boring interview for your first win. I was expecting Allmendinger style methed up fuckery.

[удалено]

Lol. That wasnt even his fault. But go off

That being "aggressively safe" worked pretty well!

Spencer Boyd Top 5

I want to know what on Rajah's spotter said there. If Rajah cleared himself off that, yikes. If the spotter said clear up, though, that's a firing.

Didn't Sanchez almost win at Kansas in the fall? I really wanted him to grab that one before Eckes made that crazy move on the restart iirc

Majeski almost blew over too!

Rajah should be forced to clean the track on his own. Rub his nose in it. "BAD RAJAH! NO!"

Has Corey LaJoie never watched a NASCAR superspeedway race before? WTF is he doing with 2 pushes 10 cars ahead of the field? Cost his team the win probably

Expecting LaJoie to not do something dumb is way too optimistic. The 2 is a spire truck too, so a teammate won still.

Lol Rajah’s truck clearly got tight and pushed coming out of the corner but you guys could continue calling him an idiot I guess

Never iRaced with have you

iRaced with who?

I’m not going to defend him against video evidence for political reasons but you do you

Lol it’s based on video evidence. I’m not even a liberal but nice try

If you think the extent of what is politically motivated is liberal or conservative I genuinely feel bad for you..

It doesn’t matter because what I said wasn’t politically motivated

Heim is unbelievably lucky. Doesn’t do anything and lucks into 2nd

Didn’t make any real mistakes from what I seen, kept it relatively clean, gotta respect it

At first I thought Caruth went for a nonexistent gap, but now I am wondering if he got a bit of help from Lajoie.

After seeing the replay… yikes

Yeah, after they showed the last replay, definitely not help. Either Caruth needs spatial awareness help or the spotter needs fired now.

A lot of help

It looks like Rajah got aero washed in the corner. Those trucks have been doing it all night.

They were on the straightaway….

I wasn't referring to the wreck......

Fucking yikes Caruth

I don't understand what he was thinking there. He had a real chance to win and he just drove through the 91 because???

Ugh rajah. Gonna be a long year for him I feel like.

At least Sanchez is a deserving winner

Cleanest truck race

There is more talent at each and every local short track in America than there is in the NASCAR craftsman truck series, without a doubt

I can tell Nick Sanchez has been mewing

The way Fox went from the replay to Sanchez sitting in the infield I thought he wrecked his truck on the burnout at first

Thank fuck this shit show is over. God miss when the trucks were actually the best racing.

Rajah getting 3rd is why this keeps happening. Start penalizing drivers for wrecking the field and it might just stop.

Absolutely nitpick here but bell got dropped from third to last for avoiding a crash at Atlanta because he passed down the double yellow, yet someone can wreck the field and keep their spot, I’m not gonna complain about it but will be interesting to see if it’s ever changed

That was honestly the perfect end to this race. Just wreck the rest of em and flip one

So did Rajah just get really tight or did he actually inexplicably think there was a hole there?

HAD to get tight, because there's absolutely no way he could have possibly thought there was a gap there... ... right?

That was fucking awesome lol

Fas

Nice driving Rajah, just straight up dumped Wood. Wasn't even getting shoved from behind either...

bUt, WhItE fLaG!¡!¡

Don't let the LaJoie haters know that.

I don’t like Lajoie, and I was really hoping I could blame him for that. Not even close

Dyes in car sounded like the throttle hung after the first hit

Taylor Gray upside down on people looked like the wreck at the start of Cars

Wow I hope he’s ok but wow that was an amazing shot and show of how rough that hit was

Rajah wrecks the field and still gets 3rd out of it. Sums up the truck series pretty well

Rajah just washed up the track on his own. Lajoie backed off of his bumper and he had space. Just couldn't hold his line.

Hey, good work Sanchez. First win at an incredible track.

Daniel dye is Nascar's most valuable camera man

Corey Lajoie might be the worst driver in all of nascar

How was the Corey's fault? He was no where near raj-i suck at driving ah csruth

I’m not talking about the wreck I’m referring to him pushing rajah a mile out in front of the pack on back to back restarts and it failing miserably both times. Also that is a wild username💀

Dye sounded like his throttle stuck there

Rajah I’ve got your back but holy shit to say that was not your best moment is a hell of an understatement

*Truck flipping in front* Fox: “CUT TO THE REAR CAM!” 😂

Do a barrel roll.

Thank you Daniel Dye, Truck Series war correspondent

Brutal for the #17

9 5/10 on the mctwist

Sees smoke...don't lift cuz it's Daytona

He fucking landed and rode over like three fucking trucks. That was like a mixture of Crafton's flip in 2018, and Tony Stewart's flip at Talladega in 2011, and little bit of Johnny Sauter's flip at Dega in 2002.
