There’s been a lot of negative sentiment lately here. I’m NOT saying this is the primary reason, but one factor that can’t be overlooked is we’ve already sailed past what is believed to be the most consecutive race weekends in NASCAR history (22) — we’re 24 in with four to go.

Penalty report had nothing notable this week. No penalties for any race manipulation stuff.

I’m sure I’m not the first to point this out, but seven of the final eight drivers this year are the same as last year (the only difference: Briscoe in, Reddick out).

NASCAR Charlotte Roval takeaways: Should Denny Hamlin have let Ross Chastain advance?

No one in Rounds 1 or 2 needed their win to advance this year. The top 12 drivers in points for Round 1 made it and the top eight drivers in points for Round 2 made it.
