2019 Nascar - Daytona - Race #18 Doubleheader

[GA_Boater]

Larson is starting in the back for a fuel probe change. Fuel pickup???

The Nascar weatherman's prediction for racing tonight is 60%. I think it's a 60% chance of starting the race, not necessarily finishing;

Bryron in a backup car after his Keso induced damage will start at the back along with Haley, Gase and Gaughan for unapproved adjustments. 5 total to the back with Larson.

 

[GA_Boater]

Roughly 45 minutes before the start and the cow found the flat rock.

On hold for lightning and T-Storms.

 

[GA_Boater]

Rain ain't stoppin'. Postponed until tomorrow on NBC at 1PM.

 

[GA_Boater]

Currently dry, but as the air heats up - Anything can happen. Still shooting for a 1 PM start, actually 1:22 with pre-race activity starting at 12:31. iFL roster locks at 1 PM with the delayed start.

How about some rumors? Nascar has been talking to a new manufacturer about joining, probably in 2021. About all that can be said is they haven't said yes and they haven't said no. Look at who it is - https://www.jayski.com/2019/07/07/hy...ove-to-nascar/

Well if they come on board, then we are going to end up with Hamsters driving in cup!

:lol:

 

[GA_Boater]

No dog approved race cars yet.

 

[GA_Boater]

More cars starting at the back - DiBenedetto and McLeod. That is in addition to Larson, Gase, Haley, Gaughan for unapproved adjustments and Byron for backup car. 7 total back there.

Current weather prognostication.

 

[GA_Boater]

Had to stay with Fox to see the U.S. Ladies win the World Cup again.

Time for Daytona on NBC. And the local has a real estate infomercial show on, no pre-race. :blue:

 

[GA_Boater]

Heats are 50 - 50 - 60 laps. Official race at the end of the 2nd heat.

Green flag!

 

[GA_Boater]

Harvick only took gas during green flag stops and came out the leader. Joey did tires and took the lead back to win the 1st heat.

 

[GA_Boater]

Rain is building to the South and Southwest.

 

[GA_Boater]

On the restart Elliott was leading a sea of Fords. It didn't take long for a Ford went to the front - Stenhouse

 

[GA_Boater]

And then Stenhouse spins from the lead after leading 2 laps. 1st yellow.

 

[GA_Boater]

Busch1 spins for #2 yellow.

 

[GA_Boater]

Busch1 ripped the rear off Gaughan's car as the #1 spun.

 

[GA_Boater]

Keso in the wall after Harvick helps by trying to push him. After the Keso practice incident with Byron, he said he was tired of being wrecked on superspeedways. Karma!

3 or more other cars incidentally involved in the 3rd caution.

 

[GA_Boater]

7 Chevys trying to pull away with ADillon leading.
