𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗩𝗜𝗘𝗪 💬 - “Put me in that Red Bull.”

Inception Motorsports driver @influencebyfanatic.bsky.social has recently claimed that after his latest success in the #30, he deserves another chance in a top ride. With the defending Champ underperforming, could there be an opportunity at RB in the future?

@spademann.bsky.social takes the checkered flag in P12, @kaywheelz87.bsky.social comes home in P22, and @tanorcampos24.bsky.social comes home in P37

RCR had an eventful race at Michigan International Speedway as the 07 and 3 managed to have clean races while the 29 was snake bitten on pitroad

A rough performance for myself and the entire 29 team during today's race at Michigan. The car was looking pretty good early on in the race, but my pitcrew had some huge problems that took me out of contention for a good result. We definitely can't afford any more problems heading into Daytona.

Finally! It wasn't a matter of if, but when @joogiewatkins.bsky.social would find victory lane this year. Stewart Haas hasn't been this competitive for a long time, so now the question is: can they fight for the regular season championship? We know the Welshman has what it takes, but does the team?

A strategy call and execution that was practically perfect in every way! @joogiewatkins.bsky.social cruises to the line to win at Michigan!

The #98 team has been so fast, so consistently all year long, yet they never managed to put a full race together; until now. @joogiewatkins.bsky.social takes one last victory lap, knowing that at last, he's earned a race win in S7.

White flag, one lap to go! Nothing is stopping @joogiewatkins.bsky.social now!

@influencebyfanatic.bsky.social TAKES 3RD from @noahknight.bsky.social! What a day for that small organisation! The whole #30 team should feel very proud of themselves for the effort.

TORCAR on Motors TV @torcar.bsky.social · Mar 22

Victory for @joogiewatkins.bsky.social is sure-fire, assuming we stay green to the very end. The real battle now is for 2nd, with @kensethology.bsky.social bringing the fight to @noahknight.bsky.social for the position after the #4 burnt up his tires navigating traffic. Can the #30 capitalise too?

Sponsorship has always been a struggle for the Inception team, even with the sporadic funding that @influencebyfanatic.bsky.social has brought. Today, the #30 team is debuting a new paint scheme for loyal sponsor Atlas Air, and we're sure they're very happy with the performance.

TORCAR on Motors TV @torcar.bsky.social · Mar 22

Let's ride along with @influencebyfanatic.bsky.social, shall we? The driver of the #30 for Inception Motorsports has done a lot with a little ever since he arrived at the team, and there's no better example than today. The team made the right call and now he's piloting that Camry up into the top 5!

TORCAR on Motors TV @torcar.bsky.social · Mar 22

@alejandroga07.bsky.social is split down the middle for 6th! @kensethology.bsky.social is making all the moves on those fresh tires to get the best finish possible, and all @influencebyfanatic.bsky.social behind has to do is follow the steps of his former teammate.

TORCAR on Motors TV @torcar.bsky.social · Mar 22

@joogiewatkins.bsky.social now leads with 5 laps to go. He has nothing but clean air in front of him, the cars behind him are on inferior tires, and the next driver with tires as good as him - @noahknight.bsky.social - is bogged down by traffic.

He may finally get that first win of the season.

TORCAR on Motors TV @torcar.bsky.social · Mar 22

And just like that, @joogiewatkins.bsky.social takes the lead of the race from @minonkh.bsky.social.

TORCAR on Motors TV @torcar.bsky.social · Mar 22

It's immediately apparent that 4 tires was the correct choice. @kensethology.bsky.social and @influencebyfanatic.bsky.social go around the outside of @spinoex.bsky.social and @drivy101.bsky.social, leaving them completely in the dust!

TORCAR on Motors TV @torcar.bsky.social · Mar 22

@camryenthusiast.bsky.social has nothing for him. @joogiewatkins.bsky.social sails by the #15 for 2nd with just one target left: the #24!

TORCAR on Motors TV @torcar.bsky.social · Mar 22

@joogiewatkins.bsky.social is on a mission, but does he have enough time to get to the lead? The #98 team seems to think so.

TORCAR on Motors TV @torcar.bsky.social · Mar 22

@oshillex.bsky.social moves to the bottom to defend against @joogiewatkins.bsky.social but the #98 says no worries, I'll just go right around ya! The Welshman soars into 3rd, making it look effortless on those fresher tires!

TORCAR on Motors TV @torcar.bsky.social · Mar 22

As we approach lap 14/20, here's how many tires each car in the top 10 took during their pit stop:

#24: 2
#1: 2
#15: 2
#97: 2
#98: 4
#9: 2
#2: 2
#4: 4
#20: 4
#99: 4

Can @joogiewatkins.bsky.social put those fresher tires to good use in these closing laps?

TORCAR on Motors TV @torcar.bsky.social · Mar 22

@alejandroga07.bsky.social, @spinoex.bsky.social and @oshillex.bsky.social take 2 tires while @troxell.bsky.social, @kensethology.bsky.social and @influencebyfanatic.bsky.social take 4. There doesn't seem to be a consensus on what the correct decision is.

TORCAR on Motors TV @torcar.bsky.social · Mar 22

Interesting! The strategy is divided between 2 tires & 4 tires, with no more projected stops for today. It'll be a battle of track position vs fresh rubber.

@minonkh.bsky.social and @camryenthusiast.bsky.social opt for 2 tires while @noahknight.bsky.social and @joogiewatkins.bsky.social take 4.

TORCAR on Motors TV @torcar.bsky.social · Mar 22

Pit stops begin coming to lap 11/20. @noahknight.bsky.social and most of the field head into the pits while polesitter @troxell.bsky.social stays out for the clean air, although faces a challenge from the #1 of @oshillex.bsky.social.
