2019 Nascar - Pocono - Race #14

[GA_Boater]

Menard may have hastened the swerve.

 

[GA_Boater]

Green again as the #3 is pushed to the garage - Done for the day.

 

[GA_Boater]

Larson wins the 1st heat.

 

[GA_Boater]

Restart for heat #2. Shuffling around puts The Whining Twerp in front.

 

[GA_Boater]

DiBenedetto spins for 2nd real caution.

 

[GA_Boater]

And then Tifft goes around on the restart.

Back to green with The Whining Twerp in front.

 

[GA_Boater]

Yellow again for Lajoie flat, scrape and debris. 31 laps to go in 2nd heat and official race - Dark clouds all around.

 

[GA_Boater]

Truex pits with a lot of smoke blowing out the pipes. Pushing him off to the garage.

7 to go in the 2nd heat with The Whining Twerp pitting from the lead.

 

[GA_Boater]

Larson wins his 2nd heat today, double how many heats he's won all year, now 3. Rain seems to be staying away for now.

Thought I was being smart to move Truex out my garage before the 2nd stage ended. :facepalm:

Not watching the race can be problematic. :faint2:

 

[GA_Boater]

I was moving Truex and Blaney in and out the garage the whole race. Just before the end of H2, put Truex back in the garage for good. Right now my points for Truex is 4 and Blaney is 30.

But with 15 to go, Fasteddie is the class of iFL. Unless his nuts fall off!


Stenhouse yellow with 14 laps to go.

 

[GA_Boater]

Half the lead lap cars pit, The Whining Twerp stays out. Will it come down to old tires vs. new tires?

 

[GA_Boater]

Larson hits the wall a good lick, to the pits. No caution.

The Whining Twerp in front and pulling away from Keso. 6 laps to go.

 

[GA_Boater]

Smokin'! takes the iFL lead from Fasteddie!

 

[GA_Boater]

He won.

'speck is the iFL leader by 3 points and the 3 points is holding. Final iFL results on Tuesday.

Wow ... Morning service, right to Boat Rescue training and back for evening service. I checked in about 8PM last night briefly to see the race results. Wish I could say it was diligence, hard work, and research on my part ... but alas, every blind squirrel finds an acorn sometimes! Was it a good race?

 

[GA_Boater]

Your aim with those acorns was pretty good, 'speck. In the final laps you musta taken out Fasteddie's radiator. He was cruzin' with a nice lead and BANG, BOP, POW, you shot to the lead,

Other than the race winner, it wasn't a bad race. Only a few wrecks were caused by what I'll call aggressive driving. Tires caused most issues and Harvick had an odd failure - His steering box split and Jeffie and DW both said that might be a first.

Humpty is in the basement running numbers on his restored ENIAC, so he should be on schedule for final results tomorrow.

 

[GA_Boater]

The ENIAC started popping fuses, so he switched over to Old Reliable - An IBM 1401. Luckily he had data backup, a pallet of punch card boxes and many reels of paper tape. - It was a long night! The results are in!

Smokin'! won his 2nd race of the year by 3 points. Congrats 'speck and you get another wheel chock. :first:

justkiddin 5 is keeping his overall lead steady.

This weekend we're off to Brooklyn, that's in Michigan BTW. Cup and X-Men will be going at it. Trucks are racing at Texas Friday night.
