2022 NASCAR Xfinity Series Race Twenty-Six Bristol

Ty ‘LittleJoe’ Gibbs (54) led the 38 car field to the green flag. The stages for the event are 85-85-130 laps. The grandstands seem light; fuller than last night, but light attendance overall.

Noah Gragson (9) holds off Brandon Jones (19) to win his third race in a row. This is Noah’s sixth win of the season.

Ryan Sieg (39) secures the final position in the playoffs.

AJ Allmendinger (16) is the regular season champion.

Not particularly interesting event to watch or to listen to. I spent a lot of the time watching the movie Broken Bridges with Toby Keith, Kelly Preston, Burt Reynolds. I enjoy that schmaltzy movie. Then I switched between the race video – I listened to the PRN audio because the NBC Xfinity and Cup series race broadcasts are just awful. Noah got out of the car with a big stain on the left leg of his white firesuit pants. He needs to wear some other color. Jr was in the booth hooting about Noah ‘already threw up’. The ever-tacky Dave Burns was consistently referencing his staying at a difference from Noah due to his penchant for throwing up after races. Noah proceeded to throw up a few times on camera before shooting a beer handed to him with the checkered flag. He also went with an exclamation of ‘Holy Shit!’ while talking about the crowd at Bristol. His last win at Bristol was in 2020 during covid-19, so he won without a crowd in the grandstands. Noah is, once again, not ready for television. He used to be the same, then he cleaned up his act and began to act like a race car driver on television. For some reason, as this season has progressed he’s become less and less tv appropriate.
