I'm going with Harvick but not sure why .I'm a little upset with SHR for dumping Danica for a driver that virtually not any better .

It looked like that to me also ,a Chinese ham company .

congrats to the Chase Briscoe who celebrated his first NASCAR Camping World Truck Series victory, and runner-up Christopher Bell for his first NASCAR championship. .... also to Cole Custer for dominating today's Xfinity race and William Byron in taking the Xfinity championship

 

[Coss]

That was Cole's first win, Byron finished 3rd but it was ahead of the other 3 which was good enough to give him the Championship. Cole was just knocked out of the final 4 last week, so winning was nice, but it could have been a little better if he hadn't got himself booted from the final 4, well, there's always next year.
The Byron kid sure looks like the real deal, and he's a JR/Hendrick driver, so he has more to look forward too. Maybe when Jimmie retires Byron can take over the 48.

 

[W. WIllie]

The big swapping with postion between #1 and #9 was very entertaining. Once Cole #00 got out front it was BYE BYE. GO FORD!
A first year team also.
