    Nailed it...........Thornton needs to take a class in marketing from Black Sunshine and learn how to turn boos into tshirt sales!

      Exactly, plus his first hit on Davenport's left rear quarter panel wasn't a rub, he jacked Davenport's left rear off of the ground and got him sideways and almost spun him out.

        Oh my gosh, he 'almost' spun him out..... big deal. These guys 'almost' spin out on their own every lap, in fact the less talented ones do. I'm glad there are guys like Ricky, Bobby, Larson, etc that'll race hard and occasionally crumple a 1/4 panel. Drivers need to quit whining and race the others accordingly, it'll all take care of itself in the end.

          I agree, I thought it was a bit disingenuous when RTJ tried to play victim and claim favoritism. The other laugher was when he declared JD crazy for wanting him to lift and use his brakes instead of turning him sideways. I only saw videos but it looked like he got caught napping or misjudged traffic and when 2 cars suddenly went by he just went balls to the wall and nailed him. I respect RTJ's ability behind the wheel and I think he was robbed last year by a silly ill conceived format borrowed from a company on the way down... I'm sure it'll all work out, I remember when JD was first getting some good rides and going banzai a little too much, he evened out and I think RTJ will as well, but I'd appreciate them owning up to mistakes and over eagerness, instead making excuses, kids do that.

            The previous race Davenport missed two opportunites to take the lead from O'Neil but didn't go for it. He's not interested in hard racing or starting from anywhere other than the front row anymore. RTJ has picked up his family and moved so many times the past few years to make a living in the business, Davenport hasn't been that hungry in years. "Don't criticize what you can't understand. Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command, your old road is rapidly aging. Please get out of the new one if you can't lend a hand for the times they are a changing."

                I guess that you forgot about Davenport's over 2 million dollar season from 2022.

                  He has been like a grumpy old man since that season concluded. Durham leaving took the wind out off of his cape, literally.

                  And I like the guy.

                      So this explains why Tyler Erb referenced a guy from Integra the other night and said that he had not given up on him yet during the top3 interview on FLO. All the rockets are jumping ship to Fox except for Tyler.
                      On a steady diet of dirt!!!

                        Him and lil Brian with Integra must be pretty tight. He always mentions him every chance he gets.

                          Tyler has been switching around as well, he just got back with integra at the beginning of the year. Was on Penske last year

                              Yes. And he was in charge of the failed reboot of AFCO with those black magic or whatever they called them too.

                              Jerry is a good shock guy. I used to deal with him a lot.
