Pregame concert for Braves-Reds game (MLB Speedway Classic) Aug. 2 at Bristol Motor Speedway … Tim McGraw.

RCR appeal of Jesse Love DQ will be Wednesday morning. When a race DQ involves a win, typically the appeal is that week so everyone goes into the next race knowing who has a win that would earn them a playoff bid.

Xfinity owner points revised:

Updated Xfinity race results from Rockingham:

Also Justin Bonsignore also was DQ'd for having 3+ loose lugnuts.

Updated Xfinity race results except I expect fastest lap point to go to Ryan Sieg and not Jesse Love.

This is the rule violation on the Jesse Love car. NASCAR will impound the car and take it back to R&D as RCR has the option to appeal.

Waiting on Xfinity results but I believe Ryan Sieg will get the point for the fastest lap.
