2019 Nascar - Daytona, Race #1

[WIMUSKY]

Burton was having a fantastic nite even with all his setbacks, then his teammate spins him. Ugh...

Radio chatter:

“I don’t think they’re done (wrecking) yet.” “I don’t think they’re going to be done until after the checkered flag.”

4 laps to wreck! LOL

 

[GA_Boater]

2 laps left and they didn't keep it clean! Just like Cup racing!'

Gonna go Overtime Racing. I think there will be 2 cars on the lead lap.

12 trucks left trying to finish - That is on the track!

 

[GA_Boater]

Wreck on the OT restart!

 

[GA_Boater]

11 laps past the scheduled race length. Who is gonna run out of gas?

Tweet from Scott Page, formerly 1/3 of Jayski's;

I know everyone wanted the season to start, but the first race has to end at some point so they can start the second one.

 

[GA_Boater]

White flag - We will have a winner!


And it's.....................................Austin Hill with 10 cars left on track.

 

[WIMUSKY]

10 trucks on the track, only 5 not mashed up...

Austin Hill 4 the win...

 

[GA_Boater]

Only 9 trucks out of 32 starts finished the race. 10th place went to the highest placing wrecked truck from the last crash. :facepalm:

 

[GA_Boater]

The final Cup practice is starting just after Noon. Only 10-12 cars are expected take a lap to save the cars for the race. They have a lot of miles with all the practice laps and the 70 lap Duel. And all on the same motor, transmission and rear end.

The crewman hit by the truck last night is out of the hospital with a broken shoulder. Ouch!

Here is a quick and dirty Truck race summary;

 

[GA_Boater]

20 cars went out during the final Cup practice. Most just cruised and not much to talk about. The iFL race locks at 2:35PM tomorrow, so think about your picks and git 'er dun.

X-Race starts about 2:30 on FS1. Wonder if it will be like the Truck race last night and be caution free?

 

[GA_Boater]

X-Race is green! Earnhardt is leading - Jeffery, that is. Pole sitter Reddick had to start at the rear cuz tires were changed.

 

[GA_Boater]

Earnhardt led the 1st 10 laps. Reddick is up to 16th from the back. Freight training, but no wrecks.......Yet.

Jeff Gluck Tweet;

I know everyone hates single file, but I really don’t have a problem with it. It’s the smart thing to do at this point in the race. Would you rather see everyone act like a bunch of wild animals and wreck everything with no regard for finishing? (Don’t answer that!)

Just you wait, Mr. Gluck. LOL

 

[GA_Boater]

20 laps in with Earnhardt still leading. Reddick is up to 11th and no cautions. 10 laps to go in the 1st heat.

 

[GA_Boater]

The train derailed on the final lap of heat 1 and Haley got to the front after Earnhardt led the 1st 29 laps. Now 10 minutes to waste before the start of heat 2.

 

[GA_Boater]

Chastain takes the second heat. No cautions, but will change in the final heat.

 

[GA_Boater]

First caution for Keso littering the track. He's been having roof hatch issues since early in the race and had to repair during the heat 1/2 caution. It came off and he was black flagged. He shoulda stayed in his Cup car instead of whacking. LOL

 

[GA_Boater]

And a spin by Black brings out Yellow #2.
