The 23 is 8th in points after Texas (graphic from Xfile345 at the bad place)

23 is done, and so am I. I was tweeting wounded anyway 😅 (damn carpal tunnel...) Glad we got the stage points. Looks like he'll finish in the low 30s.

The 23 is done for the day. They'd need to change the bumper bar to get back out, and it would take too long.

The 23 came back in for the powering off issue, went back out, and it turned back off. They're in the DVP spot in the garage trying to figure out what is causing it.

Car won't stay powered. They're back on pit road, gonna try and figure it out.

Bubba says the steering wheel is straight. Nothing concerning on the dash. The car briefly lost power when he got back on track but it refired. Bubba apologized and Freddie said it was partially his fault and the 22. We'll see what happens from here. Those points for 5th in the second stage 💯

No words except what complete fucking idiocy on a restart.

They're trying to fix it quickly enough that they only lose one lap.

The 23 is wrecked. They're in the pit box working on it.

Not surprised by that mess on pitroad. Some people are playing games on pitroad today 🙄 Bubba had to check up on pitroad to miss that, but luckily only lost one spot. Restarting P6. Top three only took two tires and the 24 is damaged from the incident on pitroad with Custer.

Caution for the 17... The 23 is P5. Bubba says he needs better track position. He says he needs either clean air or free him up.

Definitely seems like the changes that stop helped the car. Restarted P11, up to P7 and catching the 24.

The 23 and 48 almost collided last stop, but this time they actually touched. Bubba said more of a rub than a hit, should be fine. Restarting P10.

Caution for the 21 Still P10. Bubba says they're just a little too "bound up" right now. Charles says he's gonna help him with some air pressure here.

Up to P10 on lap 116.

Bubba restarting P10 after the caution for the 19.

Caution. 19 spun behind us.

Restarted stage two P11.

"[Pits] still closed." - Freddie "Jesus CHRIST." - Bubba

Bubba under caution, asking what Tyler is doing to pass. Bubba says he didn't do a good job getting through traffic there, just didn't have the confidence in the car. He says he's sorry. "Yeah yeah... Do better." - Freddie (jokingly)

JR coaching Bubba on what he's seeing on how much wheel he's using through the turn... Bubba says he wouldn't want to use as much wheel as he's using, but he has to catch it through the turn.

The 11 caught fire 😳 Caution. Bubba currently P12. Says he needs help on entry, can't trust the stability of the car.

Now up to P12 and catching the 19.

19 and 3 in front of the 23 are on two tires. Charles says this is the part of the run they expect that to affect them. Currently P13.

Bubba's too tight right now. He's struggling on entry to corners. P14.

The 23 took 4 tires. A bunch came out in front of us took two. Restarting P15. Charles says this gives them options in the future.

Caution, not the 23 Bubba says he's happy with the balance, maybe a half number too snug.

"You know the deal here man... Take care of it... Be mindful of the grass... Keep us in it, be there at the end." - Freddie "YESSSSSSSSIR!" - Bubba

"Let's have us a good day... Got us a fast car... See you boys on pit road. See you at the end." - Bubba

"Let's go get us one today." - Charles "Sounds like a plan." - Bubba 😏

Ope Bubba finished P8 after inspection was complete 😊

Bubba was stuck in the car post-race. The window net latch wouldn't let go. He said it felt like it was welded shut lol... I'm guessing he finally got out bc the radio is quiet.

Up to P7 in points 😁 (Image from Xfile345 at the bad place)

Having a nice giggle rn... The evental winner's teammate cussing him at the stage break 🤭

Bubba worked some moves on the last lap. P10 for the 23, big points day. "Well, that plan didn't work at the end. Good job executing all day. Good points day." - Bubba "The most inexpensive Talladega race in history? Maybe?" - Bubba

Talk of forming another lane on the 23 radio. 5 to go.

"We're good to the end Freddie. We can use it." on the 23 radio with 10 to go

"35 and 11 are short on fuel. Stay away from them." - Charles with 15 to go

The Toyotas are pitting this time.

The 23 is the first car out of the pits that took 4 tires. Will restart the final stage P7.

"That was really good execution for the whole stage. Thank you all." - Bubba

Stage win for the 23 😁 "All yays all yays... No complaints. Let's do it again one more time." - Bubba

The 23 will pit now for 3 seconds of fuel.

"All good with what I'm doing now?" Bubba on lap 98. "Yep, all good. All yay." - Freddie Running between P5-P8

"Fucking three car." - Bubba on lap 81 "Yeah, I saw that." - Freddie

"Keep your eyes open for what's up front." - Charles "10-4." - Freddie "Not assuming your eyes weren't open." - Charles "Ya never know with me." - Freddie

Starting stage two P14. Toyotas had to hold longer than some for fuel.

What a cool bit in the spotters stand 😍
