[Raptor_7206]

Hopefully Byron sweeps the Truck and Cup races!

[Dillibar]

Corey Lajoie in the truck race! Let’s go!

[Empire Racing]

So ready for Darlington, and ready to see Noah around Crapstain.......

The people & officials should at least have let Noah get his shot back in. lol.

[Thunderstruck]

He was trying, and thats what pissed him off.... they wouldn't let him swing at all and blocked every swing.... and actually kept escorting him away by some private security the Black officer. They wouldn't let him go... pissed me off.

Like Larry Mac said on Race Hub Monday this isn't the NHL

[Thunderstruck]

Its Nascar! What changed?? We have seen throwdowns before.

[Steelersfan1988]

Keeping crewman from getting involved I have a feeling Tower give officials anyone near the 1 ahead up Noah was coming

[Jlogano22]

So ready for Darlington, and ready to see Noah around Crapstain.......

Noah would have to actually be up front for that to happen

[Thunderstruck]

Actually if he goes a lap down, or Melon has issues bro it can go bad quick for melon... unless tender foot Nascar gave a warning to Noah....

Don't beleive Noah can afford the penalty that would come as a result since he already made the mistake of calling his shot on national TV. Should he intentionally take Ross out and do it in a dramatic fashion he may damage his career all together. He also made some other comments in the heat of the moment that didn't sit right with me if I was a Chevy racing exec.

He's way too emotional and was looking for some sort of respect by seemingly "standing up" for the other drivers who were sort of egging it on, namely Chase Elliott for one. He didn't seem to have a clear plan for the confrontation and caught the wrong end of it as a result. Chastain is a bit more calculated which is why he does it with that s**t eating grin on his face. He's certainly not my favorite but I can relate to the passion and he's certainly a step above Gragson who is simply proving to be punk really.

BIG step from Xfinity to Cup and he needs to be focusing on running all the laps and honing his craft in these cars. I sense a bit of jealousy between the two and he needs to take a step back and I suspect Johnson and even Jones may be bending his ear to that end.

[FreakyFast4ord]

Didn't mention him cause I'm not sure he would get all that involved. I see him as more of a "figure head" for that team. He's from such a different era of racing.

[Thunderstruck]

There are moments that aren't so controlled in life. Like you like to depict you are. Noah was pissed. Every man gets pissed and has to answer.... He was denied his response..... Walked and forced away by security... Yeah there will be a moment when Gragson balances this. You and others can Monday morning qauterback it. Noah approached a driver he trained with Period! The last thing he expected was a punch. You say you would have hit Noah too.... its easy to say that when you weren't envolved. I find it funny how once Noah was hit, private security and officials wouldn't let him swing, actually blocked him... who is the actual fake? Noah who wanted to respond? Or the driver who hid behind the officials and security.... And after it happened Security kept trying to walk Noah away from the pit lane. Wouldn't even let him go back.... Thats why other drivers like Chase and others give their support period. This isn't over. You say he can't afford the penalty.... Noah is regrouping and knows how to handle a car. Looking forward to Noahs response.

Thunderstruck There was no fine for Noah or Ross
