Cleanest Talladega race in years. Kept waiting for a real big one and it never came. I can tolerate plate tracks if they race like that and it’s not 8 cars running at the finish

Should have been him instead of Haley in the 31 this year.

What happened to that 44 car Greg Biffle drove in a few races this year and that 50 car owned by Floyd Mayweather?

They close up shop?

Conor Daly is driving the 50 this weekend at the Roval.

NY Racing, the 44 team, their Twitter has been dormant since June.

Man ain't this the truth.

It's a national tragedy that Dinger didn't have a full time cup ride this year...yet Haley did.

I love me some Dinger. If Busch didn’t sign with RCR, Dinger would have been my top pick

He’s been asking for a hard lesson learned all season. Somebody’s gonna eventually give it to him if he doesn’t change

Chandler Smith to the 16 Busch Series ride. Getting him in the RCR alliance pipeline is part of why Busch to RCR is huge. He’s gonna be the next big thing IMO

Apparently this tweet is causing a lot of controversy on Twitter.

This is Clint Bowyer’s old spotter, not sure if he’s currently a spotter or not

Besides being a Truck series driver that I had to look up....why does this matter? In other words, why is Bowyer's old spotter talking shit about the guy, and why is it controversial if he's doing so?

Halp me, i'm lost

Hocevar is pretty good in the truck series, he’s like the Ty Gibbs of that series without the wins though.

Apparently the dude spun out on purpose in Talladega to bring out a caution.

BFM, a NASCAR YouTuber and his crowd are all over it

I dug a *little* deeper and kind of answered my own question. I mean, I dont see the controversy still, but I at least "get it" now.

Apparently this Griffin guy was Bowyer's spotter during the controversial spin that helped Truex make the Chase (until NASCAR intervened). And apparently he was on this Hocevar kid's shit about controversial driving in the Truck series that's I guess affecting the playoff outcome there.

And Griffin isn't backing down from his remarks...a quick look at his Twitter and he had a long evening of doubling down and sparring with folks about it.

Soooo.....a lot of drama, but that's about it. Dude said what he said, he's certainly got the right to say it, he's probably right about what he said, and he's not backing down from what he said. Cool.

Nascar Spotter Brett Griffin Guides Drivers From Above And Behind The Scenes

Brett Griffin is one of the most popular people in the Nascar garage. He started as a public relations representative for Elliott Sadler and eventually became his business manager and spotter. Now, the eyes from above has a podcast, is back to spotting full time and runs a business.

"Meanwhile, Griffin is still spotting and, no, he was never fired from the two jobs. He’s working with Justin Haley in the Cup Series and Daniel Hemric in the Xfinity Series, guiding the two drivers week-in and week-out."
