Two sliders on the last lap

Overton has become a top-notch driver for sure. Great racing all week.

Fun race to watch no doubt. Mason wasn't too happy with Terbo's slider. Terbo checked up when Mason through his slider on him, but Mason didn't check up when Terbo through his slider on him.

You saw it totally different than I did.

I'm not a fan of either btw.

Its not a slider when you don’t clear the car you are passing! If the guy has to slow up after you are in front of him ok but that was just a sorry I’m not past you here is my fender! There is no respect from most drivers now days! JMO

Mason cleared Terbo with his slide job, and Terbo backed off, as he should have. Terbo ran over Mason's left front. Not the same.

Zeigler threw a hard slider but at least gave Erb an out. It did not appear that Erb gave Zeigler a way out other than to just stop dead in his tracks.

So you thought Pierce's slider on Bloomer a few years back was Bloomers fault, using the same logic?

Ziegler lived to race more laps....he finished 3rd.

Was cool to see Overton steal the win while turbo was looking for Ziegler.

I like watching turbo race because he is exciting.......he just comes across kinda punkish sometimes and doesnt seem to have that same respect level that most great drivers have for each other.

Been a big fan of Brandon’s since we first saw him in the Budweiser car at Swainsboro in 2014/2015. It’s been pretty cool watching him turn into a national star, but he’s obviously still just as nice and humble as he was when we met him a few years ago. Aside from his obvious talent, he’s as clean as they come on the track. The only time he’ll lean on you, is after you lean on him. And even then, he’s only going to lean enough to pass you. He’s not looking to take you out or damage your car. Last night’s finish had both me and my wife on our feet — right there in our living room lol. That was good stuff. When the Wells/Overton deal was announced, I said right then it was a perfect fit. But it’s happened even quicker than I imagined it could. Let’s hope it’s a long lasting partnership.

IMO this is the best ride he's had since the Weaver/Stone 116 days. It seems like this is going yo be a solid ride for him.

If I'm not mistaken He said he built this team the way he wanted and so, far it's working out for him.

And that's your opinion.

Yep, and every bit as valuable as the others here.

I enjoy the fact that Harold Holly believes he knows more about setting up a DLM and didnt really listen to Overton. Overton has demonstrated when given the opportunity to provide input that he is exceptional at setup. RR did not allow this as Holly's ego was to big.

Leaving RRR was a good move....

Overton has proven he can win in every car he gets in.
