It's awesome to see the Bell and Larson show that whole nonwing race was great

Im surprised at the shake up at TSR in one respect. But I’m not in another. Donny’s been around long enough to know what he needs to win and if he has it. It seems that he obviously felt like he needed a change. I hope it works. Great coverage Justin!

[Bodean]

Hell of job Justin, thank you for your time!💯🤙🏻

[Lake_Lover]

Whoa! I'll have my eye's on Donnie to see how he does with the crew change. Ought to be interesting! Thanks Justin.

It would be amazing to see the Old Man putting it on the younger guys this year! Go get em Donnie.

TSR has been hamstrung with developing that Ford motor. Have always been a Blue Oval fan but they have been a millstone hanging on Tony's neck since the Larson debacle. Donnie may just have a breakout Year, and with Sweet out of his way I'm rooting for a championship 🏆. Congratulations to Larson on his banging win at Perth and in Tulsa. He continues to amaze.

Shout out to Steven Snyder Jr this is why the shootout is an awsome event hope for more success for you at the chili bowl👍

[scottkernan]

Yep nobody was as fast as Steven Snyder Jr bummer he wasn't able to take Driller

[HNU]

Anyone complaining that professional NASCAR racers are racing in the shootout should watch the shootout. The non adult kid classes have a blast (JS 6-13 & Restricted a 8-16. The adult classes that have “kids” in them get stories to tell when they qualified for the final and Busch didn’t make it. The micro racing was super close and fun to watch, some of the lower D&E main kids should probably spend more time learning racecraft instead of rushing ahead before they’re ready. Micros aren’t just for kids, it’s an adult class that have “kids” in them. At 12 you can run outlaw, and honestly you don’t want a full field of them being 12. Those kids learn a lot real quick racing with older and professional drivers.

Keep a eye out for parker Perry he is a up and comer he even had a ride for the chilibowl but matt ward said he didn't have enough experience how much more does he need he ran 2nd to kyle larson in the a class

[Lostrights]

Respect for the rule followers and inspectors.

[MuttTheBuckeyeSlayer]

Can’t believe Steven Snyder jr didn’t get driller. Dude was fast!

[RegularJoes]

I hope the chili bowl has an A main just like the non wing outlaw race last night, except Kofoid will be there to beat CBell and Larson

[MuttTheBuckeyeSlayer]

Lap traffic was factor for B Shepp. Thought he had it

[stevenfelmeten]

Maybe hunt the front could use a crew chief like that if they could find the money to pay them

[AdamOutlaw]

Of all the greats people talk about or the MT.Rushmore talks that are had Donny Schatz is 1 of those and was the first of the greats to fall out of the seat and be dethroned to basically never be heard from again in his 40's which is wild when you think about his decline from what he once was and now he is relegated to 3 to 5 wins a year and just a splash in the pan or pop up shower if you will from time to time. People shouldn't discount Steve And Sammy so easily because neither had this decline in there 40's and with his decline the way its been can you see him winning a Kings Royal at 55 years old like Sammy or at 56 like Steve did???? I highly doubt it. Brad Sweet really is responsible for knocking Schatz off of the top and it looks like with the evidence Schatz has shown he is not going to get back up🏁

Holy hell… look at the head on that camera guy in the shot at 4:54

If the executives at DIRTRACKR were smart they would buy ad space on that thing.

[sprintcarsandguitars]

dynasty's only last so long, they can scratch n claw and get spurts but it;s run it's course.

[Airwreck]

Hmm still only one guy covering kevin nouse news.

The lower ranks at Tulsa should have age restrictions so millionaire nascar drivers can't race against children
