I wonder what the plan is if they can't get the race in at all? Because looking at the forecast that's a very real possibility.

They have until Tuesday to realistically race it.

Well you better get ready for a shootout.

 

[Blitz24]

Finally seeing some stage winner celebrations!

 

[Dylan]

Rain breaks out in T1 and the ENTIRE field wrecks! Except for Austin Dillon!

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

Quintessential NASCAR moment right there, for better or worse.

 

[Blitz24]

Ending this race under a red flag would be catastrophic. Nothing against Dillon but NASCAR will have egg on their face following that result.

 

[Blood Eagle]

They literally have all day to get this race in. And the fact that it’s the playoff deciding race, NASACR should not call it for weather. That would be pretty despicable.

 

[ICEYOU3]

They should have built Daytona in alaska or something.

 

[Blitz24]

They have many options to go with, some of them unprecedented, but one they should NOT go with is calling the race. This would be on par with "2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix" in terms of incompetence.

 

[Blood Eagle]

It rains in Alaska a lot.

 

[ICEYOU3]

Drivers to their cars at 3:50, it's a shame Daytona isn't the spectacle it use to be.

 

[Dylan]

Austin Dillon holds off what’s left of the field to win at Daytona. Now 16 different winners this season. Martin Truex Jr. will miss the Playoffs.

 

[ICEYOU3]

Meh Austin will be knocked out the first round.

 

[Dylan]

 

[Adamgp]

At least they got the whole race in, and at least NBC stayed with the coverage and didn't go to Law and Order reruns as soon as raindrops started to fall this time.

I'll be amazed if Austin Dillon makes it past the 1st round.

 

[ICEYOU3]

Was there no regular season trophy presentation for Chase?

Happened last week when he locked it up.

Hmm musta missed it

 

[Blitz24]

So the owner's championship has the 45 while the driver's championship has the 12.

 

[Dolph Drago]

My goodness. How many cars made it to the finish without damage?

I'm glad that Blaney made it. And while I'm not a Truex fan, it sucks that he didn't. He deserved it with the season he's had. But instead, Dillon gets in again and will probably be out in the first round.

 

[BKGlover]

So the owner's championship has the 45 while the driver's championship has the 12.

Yep, and I'm hoping the 45 wins the owners title. I want to see what happens if a big owner doesn't get their trophy when their driver does. Be even better if it's Blaney.

Round 14 of the 2022 eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series is live tonight at 9ET (40 minutes from this post) and it’s the Regular Season finale at Darlington Raceway.

[Dylan]

This season is wild.

 

[Dolph Drago]

Sounds to me like Kurt is done for the year.

 

[Eggstor]

Sounds to me like Kurt is done for the year.

Likely career given his age. Guess Ty Gibbs will be full-time a year early.

Also, the Damaged Vehicle Policy clock was extended to 10 minutes from 6, at least on the Cup side.

 

[Suzuki-Cara]

Did someone pull an RCR checkup?

 

[Adamgp]

Rather ambitious of 23XI to think they can win the Owner's championship.

They just need to make it to Phoenix, then win there (I know it's not an absolute requirement to win the last race, but that's what it's taken every year in the elimination era). There's only 12 owners' points separating 12th (which they have by a tiebreaker) and 4th, and another point to 3rd. Of course, 16th place is only 2 points behind 12th.

They just need to outperform HMS, Penske, Trackhouse, JGR, RCR, and SHR for 10 races.

Like I said, ambitious.
