Only half the field is any better than the Xfinity crowd...not confidence inducing (especially when Danica Crashtrick and Wrecky Stenhouse are in the same field...).

Point taken, but I still think it may be a touch better than what we've seen so far.

Maybe...

When does tomorrow's race start?

 

[BKGlover]

Ryan Reed WINS! Best part of the night.

And one wreck to go on...

 

[Leadfoot530]

Praise Jebus, an Xfinity drive won!

Pretty big hit for Tifft.

 

[GTFan24]

HELL YES REED!!!

 

[catamount39]

Wait it just ended now? I thought it was over...whoops. xD

 

[Northstar]

Pretty big hit for Suárez. (?)

Matt Tifft is in that car this year.

 

[ukfan758]

4 Big Ones, is that a record?

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

Reed really got that car to switch lanes mid-corner to block. That was impressive.

 

[TeamCZRRacing]

And of course they finish with a crash.

What a ****ing farce.

 

[GTP_CargoRatt]

Maybe...

When does tomorrow's race start?

1pm EST. I believe.

Congrats to Ryan Reed btw, great win for the young man. We'll see what tomorrow holds now.

 

[Leadfoot530]

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I agree with Austin Dillon fof once

 

[Northstar]

Speedweeks should be sponsored by whoever supplies sheetmetal to teams. This week must be like black Friday for them!

Why does plate racing still exist

Why does plate racing still exist

Tradition, Money, Notoriety, Fabricated Excitement.....none are GOOD reasons, but there they are.

 

[GTFan24]

GG FOX on NOT showing a replay of the crash.

:censored:ing idiots

 

[Leadfoot530]

Nice of them to tell us they'd keep an eye on the guys in the last crash, and then never mention them again...

 

[catamount39]

1pm EST. I believe.

Congrats to Ryan Reed btw, great win for the young man. We'll see what tomorrow holds now.

So I predict it'll end around 11pm EST tomorrow.

 

[BKGlover]

I heard no update on Dakota Armstrong, he hadn't dropped his net. Anyone hear anything beyond that?

Why does plate racing still exist

Because the train wreck that is restrictor plate racing would be an even bigger train wreck if the cars were faster. That in turn could either result in wrecks more dangerous than they already are or Daytona and Dega being taken out of the schedule- both of which are bad options for NASCAR's brass (not that they've had any good ideas to begin with lately, but still).

Remove both from the schedule. Only have the 500, and even then maybe use the road course instead.

They won't do that. Both probably bring in 1/3 of NASCAR's annual income, and all those old school fans would riot if their three day keggers were no more.

Also, Dale Jr wouldn't have a specialty event where people can kiss his *** far more than normal.

And literally (if bump drafting can be considered a form of *** kissing).

 

[TheBook]

Everyone's okay.

 

[Northstar]

That was some impressive driving by Reed, now if he could only drive that well during the rest of the races that would be great.

Also glad to see everybody survived that crapfest!

They were probably in a hurry to start forgetting the race just like everybody else (plus it was already running late).

[Adamgp]

Just got back to our hotel room after the race.

Race was pretty good when they were racing and not wrecking. Very long day, so long we ran out of beer!

 

[JohnBM01]

Meanwhile on NBCSN, they are showing the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East racing at New Smyrna in New Smryna Beach, Florida. Remember that these radical new changes to NASCAR doesn't affect any series that isn't Trucks, XFINITY, or Cup. So check that one out if interested.

All congratulations to the winner of today... tonight's Daytona race in XFINITY.

I heard he was okay, as well as the others that were involved in the wreck at the end.

Would have been nice for FS1 to tell us that though.
