TV Panel was still in place, which could be seen from the camera. So the camera mount most likely broke when the camera got hit and that's what knocked it loose.

makes sense. Surprised that it didn't get run over

 

[MustangRyan]

They can't make it on fuel anyway.

By the time they get one to go, someone might be close. The maximum window was what, 35 laps? Someone would surely try it if it was even remotely possible. Let off a little early in every corner, and 36 to 37 might be possible.

 

[GTPorsche]

30-35 laps. Even with the caution laps, they're still just on the edge of making it to the end, even pitting on 1 to go here...

 

[AMPMROCKETFANN]

How off earth is Harvick's car still running after catching that much air and landing in the wall?

The advertised window was 30-35 laps in the pre-race, but Joey's CC just said that 30 was pretty much their limit.

 

[GTPorsche]

And the 5 and 15 pit again after pitting during that caution.

Add the 88 to that. That pitstop under caution was some real neat strategy....

 

[Blitz24]

And the 4 and 11 are in front. If they don't pit they will probably win this.

 

[GTPorsche]

They both need to pit still.

They wanted to minimize their time sitting still during the green flag.

 

[AMPMROCKETFANN]

16 is leading. Lord, hope it doesn't end this way. Go Earnhardt/Larson!

 

[MustangRyan]

They both need to pit still.

Do they? How much can they save? I would risk it if I was in their position.

 

[Blitz24]

16 needs to pit. If it goes green the rest of the way, Jr is going to be in front by 4 seconds. If a caution comes out, that hurts the 88.

Caution came out. 24 just got a huge break.

Can throw that out the window now...

 

[MustangRyan]

Caution helps the cars with newer tires.

 

[AMPMROCKETFANN]

Uh hmm, disregard what I previously said. Caution

 

[Jahgee]

Caution, hopefully Gordon doesn't regress to his usual restart abilities

 

[MustangRyan]

The cars out there on fuel strategy are toast on older tires. They needed the track position to save fuel and keep distance between the cars with newer tires.

 

[GTPorsche]

Won't keep position when the fresh tires are right behind them instead of 20+ seconds back.

 

[Jahgee]

Oh man, Biffle's going for it

 

[MustangRyan]

The shorter green flag stop did get the 88 out in front of the 24. I think the first stop under the last caution definitely worked in the favor of the 88 car.

 

[MustangRyan]

Oh man, Biffle's going for it

It won't work, but he has nothing to lose. He needs a win.

 

[GTPorsche]

24 has newer tires by about 10 laps.

 

[MustangRyan]

24 has newer tires by about 10 laps.

How many cars between them?

 

[GTPorsche]

How many cars between them?

2

Edit: Make that more than 2.

 

[MustangRyan]

2 many.

 

[Jahgee]

, damn it Gordon was doing so good

 

[Blitz24]

Race is over. Jr. has won.

 

[GTPorsche]

, damn it Gordon was doing so good

Dirty air changed everything.

 

[AMPMROCKETFANN]

Junior's driving away! Repeat possible!

 

[Doodle]

Race is over. Jr. has won.

It's not over yet, still 12 more laps.
