I think the short practice session mixed with a brand new car that’s never raced the track was a mistake. It’s super windy too. I expect people to take it fairly easy tomorrow for like half the race and turn up the heat towards the end.

Cassill just can’t seem to catch a break. Thankfully he is fine, it’s always scary when a car goes up in flames like that.

The Xfinity Series race ended under dusk?

Brandon Jones spun during the 2nd overtime attempt and hit the barrels at the end of the pit wall. Long red flag to clean up the sand that spilled everywhere.

I forgot about that, I turned it off after that happened, came back and wondered why the race ended so late. lol

 

[Northstar]

There's going to be a competition caution because the teams didn't have enough practice time to gauge tire wear.

NASCAR really is the textbook example of 1 step forward 2 steps back.

 

[ICEYOU3]

First spin of the day, I bet we'll see more of that.

 

[ICEYOU3]

It's really promising to see RCR and Petty up front.

This track might be just a tad too much for these cars.

Agreed the cars look soooo unhinged.

Mark Martin looks weird with that full white beard.

You would never think that his reddit name is something like guccimaneforlife. Mark is a trip.

I can't recall him having a beard during his cup career. I know mustache during early years but...

Oh God. I knew Mark was a hip-hop head, which I love, but that's new information.

He did an AMA a while back under that username. Or something similar to it.

Mark Martin might be 63, but he definitely acts a decade younger.

Bubba didn't eat his Wheaties this morning.

Absolutely gutted for Reddick, dude is the modern Kasey Kahne.

That blows! That was one of the most dominant cars from the Childress stable I've seen in a long LONG time.

 

[NotThePrez]

Looks like Bubba got a hint of understeer and accidentally spun Keselowski.

These new cars do not like this track. Maybe more incentive for NASCAR to change it.

This track has long been due for change. And that’s coming from a dude who went to the very first race in 1997.

So is that the 2nd time this year Larson has wrecked someone?

 

[Dylan]

Man I thought for a second Suarez was gonna win. Awesome race.

 

[Blood Eagle]

I wanted Suarez to win that one so bad.

 

[Northstar]

That was a great race, next week will be rather interesting since it's a 1.5 mile cookie cutter. If it can be interesting there the rest of the season seems very promising. One thing I really liked is it reminded me of the gen. 4 races where you would see a good variety of teams running in the top 15. Hopefully that trend continues even after the usual top teams get the new car fully figured out.

 

[Adamgp]

Pretty good race, even though I don't care much for Larson.

Great to see the low downforce/higher horsepower cars on the track again.

 

[ICEYOU3]

It's something he's an expert at.

The 2 most annoying fanbases in NASCAR beefing? Dis gon b gud lol
