News and Notes
  • New Hampshire for the August 2nd race can have 35% of the normal fan seating. Fan attendance is still developing from state to state.
  • The All-Star race and Kansas will have no practice or qualifying. Still no idea when they will return.
  • Starting spots have been drawn for Pocono #1 and Almirola is on the pole.
  • TV ratings - 2.2 for the rain delayed Dega race, up from 1.8 for Homestead the week before.

iBoats Fantasy Live
  • Our first 2020 3 time winner, Mr. Bones. FlaCowboy gets the :first: for Talladega. Congrats, Cowboy.
  • Tiz is the overall leader by 45 points.
  • Rosters for Saturday's Cup race lock at 3:49 PM EST.
  • Be ready for the quick turn around for the Sunday at 4 PM. Also Nascar has never unlocked the next iFL race in less than 24 hours, this may be interesting. :rolleyes:


Good luck racers,

Humpty

Truck race has been delayed until 9:30 AM tomorrow before the X-Race. It's been raining on and off this morning

Cup is still scheduled for 3:30 with green flag at 3:54, but any long delays will push it to Monday. Pocono has no lights and sundown is 8:38 PM, only a 5 hour window.

iFL roster lock is still at 3:49.

Cloudy and windy (10-15mph from the south east) a couple hours south east of Long Pond. Hard rains this AM, but only a very brief sprinkle around 11AM ... nothing since then. since then. It looks like the rains should be cleared out by the start of the race and should remain that way with the exception of a possible short shower.

I hope so, 'speck. I'm tired of all the rain delays.

If Truck, X-Men and Cup all manage to race tomorrow, it will a first for all 3 national series to race on the same day in Nascar history.

I see shadows at Pocono. Is it Groundhog Day?

We have a chance to race. Still some showers around, but hopefully only short duration the Air Titans can handle.

As many warmup laps made so far, the cars will need a fill-up. LOL
