The first race was the wild one, unfortunately the 24 goes to a backup and also the 17. The second race was smooth.
Anthony Alfredo gets a DQ for a loose transaxle coolant hose. BJ McCloud gets in

It's a shame that it's easier for me to watch a race at work during the day than it is at home.

It can hard to stay awake for sure. Luckily the second race was clean and fast..lol
Correct, the second race was over quick, no issues just 60 laps and done. The first race had chaos.
Hate that for the 62 but I can understand why

Tune in at 7:30 to see the Craftsman Trucks and a chance to watch Smoke on the track again after more than a decade. Tony Stewart will run one of the Ram trucks and I for one can't wait to see him race again. Now, I don't think he will be able to jump right back in and compete with these guys that run these trucks all the time but it should be fun to watch.
Been a good race so far.
Congrats to Chandler Smith. I feel asleep at the end.
Can't wait for Sunday. Wife and I driving up for the State / Miami game this afternoon (accepted the WPC pre-game reception invitation on the Club Level), staying at the hotel on Centennial campus and dinner reservations in the restaurant.
Just got to be back home before that race starts...

Sounds like a great weekend plan. Have fun and yes, you need to be home before green flag. Lol

Sounds like a good weekend Storm. I won't make the game today but will be watching.
Some good racing set for today too, with qualifying, practice, the ARCA race and Xfinity (O'Reilly) race.

Why not just start the race at 1:30?

That's a good question, and I'm not really sure. I thought I read once that NASCAR has to give a 24 hour notice to all partners including TV about any changes to start time, and I thought maybe it was only for a hour change.
Just heard on MRN that one of these cars ( ARCA ) using a old Dale SR chassis. Bought it at a auction.

That could be it.

RCR has dominated these super speedways. Congrats to the 21. Hopefully the rain stays away till after the race.
Thoughts on the O'Reilly Auto Parts race last night? (I had no idea Xfinity wasn't the series sponsor any longer) Austin Hill looked strong. RCR isn't going to keep in out of NASCAR much longer than this season.
I thought the race was good. As a Ford guy, it's sad there are only 3 in this series. As for Hill, I think he takes Busch's seat when he goes to Spire. O'Reilly also took over the weekly series from Advance, saw Wake County Speedway was at the launch.
