Harvick over Hamlin for the win. Hamlin couldn't pull Harvick in. They will run the same cars tomorrow, if a back up is used - To the rear.

Preece was 20th and with the top 20 inversion, he has the pole for Sunday.

Smokin'! has a one point over second place - ME!. LOL One of us will get our 3rd win. I don't know how fast iFL will turn around, but I already got an email to set my roster, 21 minutes ago and over 10 laps left. Gotta say it - Congrats, aspeck.

9:30 is the first race - The delayed Truck race from today, then X-Men and finally Cup if weather doesn't mess things up like today.

 

[aspeck]

Some how GA cooked the books and now has a 2 point lead over me! Congratulations, GA!

Waiting for Fantasy to unlock ...

 

[aspeck]

Fantasy unlocked...

 

[GA_Boater]

Aspeck - I kept checking for unlocked iFL until I went to bed and you were hanging onto that one point lead. It was well after midnight. Thanks.

Truck race is just starting. Hope the drivers got the sleepers out of their eyes. Green for the Trucks and two wreck before making a full lap. And right after the restart, another wreck, this time a red flag for cleanup.

As 'speck said, iFL is open for business. Roster locks at 4:21 ET

Some driver movement with a quarter of the field moved to the very crowded last row;

• Mechanical
  • Elliott to the rear for a transmission change
  • Byron with him for an engine change
  • Macleod in back for transmission change
  • Preece, the pole sitter after finishing 20th and inverted to #1, starting in back for an engine change.
• Backup cars for damage and to the rear
  • Bowman
  • Joey
  • Houff
  • Jones
  • Reddick

Good luck and get those picks in before the race starts - 3:41.

 

[GA_Boater]

A second red flag for the last Truck wreck. As one of the drivers quipped on the radio - At this rate we won't need gas to finish the race.

Next up is X-Men in a Dash 3 Cash race at 12:47 ET.
