Dillon didn’t have a good car but he survived and won it. Congrats

 

[95 Vol Alum]

Still don’t understand how this race is their big one. Such a crap shoot.

 

[badkarma]

The 3 ran a smart race he laid back at the beginning made it thru all the trash and got lucky 🍀 n the win. RCR man. Was hoping like hell Bubba would steal that one

Plate races are trash

 

[95 Vol Alum]

Plate races are trash

Agree. I mean you had all the big names there at the end, lol.

 

[Burhead]

Well Aric got robbed but that's the nature of plate racing. Happy to see Bubba finish second.

 

[eVOLve]

That ended kinda lame

Lmao. Sad thing is I picked the first four and had 5 in the top 10 of that fiasco. Time to buy Lotto tixs

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

Crazy ending. Was pulling for Wallace at the end.

 

[YankeeVol]

Really which Bubba would have won.

I don’t really like Dillon

 

[Nerd-Vol]

If bubba would have won, God help us I probably have ceased to exist.

I wonder if Jr nation will jump on the Dillon train now.

I wont be, I can’t stand that kid.

I agree. Def not the Super Bowl of racing. I'll admit it can be fun to watch at times when they are really mixing it up though.

 

[jhen713]

I'm not a Dillon fan, but I had no issues with him bumping the 10 there at the end. Stay in the gas and have a chance to win or get out of the gas and possibly get wrecked yourself or at best finish 5th. Alot of blocking all weekend. Looked like rush hr on a Friday afternoon here in Atlanta...

Just looking at the social media reaction (which obviously requires a large grain of salt)...a lot of them seem to be eyeing Bubba.

The 43 provides a connection to the past I think a lot of Nascar wants. Add to that Bubba's story comes across a lot better and more relatable than the Dillon's...

It would be crazy if Bubba won Most Popular Driver.

I just hope they can get more sponsors.

I’m very curious to see how the car looks and goes at the 1.5 mile tracks.

I really don't have an opinion on him yet. There's just something about seeing the #3 putting someone in the wall on the last lap to win the race that's nostalgic.

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

Speaking of nostalgia, I'm watching the 92 Bristol race on YouTube. The sport was so much better back then.

 

[gordonr24]

It’s one of 4 races that evens out the playing field. And they call it the Super Bowl.

Top 10 after 50 laps

Ricky Rudd
Brett Bodine
Alan Kulwicki
Ken Schrader
Davey Allison
Darrell Waltrip
Geoff Bodine
Rusty Wallace
Terry Labonte
Hut Strickland

Of course my driver, Ernie, put it in the wall early.

 

[eVOLve]

Big tv ratings dip for the race. It was a 5.1 compared to 6.5 last year.

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

Watching this old race it's unreal how much it's changed. There have been at least half a dozen spinouts that didn't bring out a caution. Now they make up reasons to throw the caution.

Austin Dillon gets "champ" tattoo on backside after Daytona win

Dillon isn’t very likable.

That goes for Ty as well
