I wanted to see DiBennideto win. He's a good driver working with rear pack equipment. I agree with what Jeff Gordon said about him; if he had an opportunity in some Gibbs or Hendrick equipment, you'd see him at the front of the pack.

It's funny you mention the 3 and Ricky Rudd, because he drove the 3 for at least a season in the early eighties while Earnhardt was driving the fifteen Wrangler Thunderbird for Bud Moore.
Let me see Austin Dillon won a fuel mileage race and now crashing the leader for the win, I actually thought it was a hollow victory lane celebration because Austin and everyone else knows does not have the respect of a winner yet.
TOTO.
TOTO.

Dillon and Bubba were coming through like a fright train, Almirola got himself in the way.

Dillon is keeping the #3 driving style alive and well into the next generation. If the hole isn't big enough..... Then make it big enough!
Not watched Nascar for years, I caught the last 15 minutes of the first section, what ever that is ?!?
I didn't get to see any crashes but the racing was as fun as watching trucks overtake each other on the motorway/highway, taking half a lap or so to make a pass.

But I'd bet NASCAR has officials that are making sure Almirola doesn't find his way to Victory Lane.
This. You know NASCAR won’t penalize the 3 car thereby taking away the win. Those fans would have rioted.
But I’m thinking about how IndyCar would handle it if Castroneves is leading out of four heading for the checkers and throws a big blatant block on whoever’s in second. I wouldn’t be surprised if he got penalized and had the win taken away.

NASCAR is like the NHL, all slam bang. Always has been, and always will be. People say about the NHL, "I went to a fight, and a hockey game broke out!"..... With NASCAR it's, "I went to a demolition derby, and all of a sudden right at the end, it turned into a race!"
