No. 8: If the No. 48 pit stall represents the 2019 playoffs, this scene is quite a metaphor for Jimmie Johnson.

No. 7: Ricky Stenhouse Jr., impatient for Martin Truex Jr.’s post-race burnout celebration, gets a preview when sliding up the track into Truex, sending him for a slide while leading the race.

No. 6: Behold, the beard. It holds the speed secrets of the No. 19 team. Yes, it’s actually the beard, and not Cole Pearn’s notebook.

No. 5: You’ve got to commend NBC’s bravery for their use of bumper cameras on a short track. Those probably aren’t coming home intact.

No. 4: Driving instructor Aric Almirola demonstrates the proper method for parallel parking: pull forward first, then back into the spot, remaining mindful of nearby pedestrians.

No. 3: The cars are black and blue because we’re going to hear some bruise-inducing words of PAIN between Alex Bowman and Austin Dillon on this week’s Scanner Sounds.
