2019 Nascar - Trucks In The Dirt and Cup Goes Left And Right

[GA_Boater]

With 7 laps to go, Allgaier made one of the best saves ever. He spun 90 to the right and was completely sideways on the track. Somehow he pulled out of it and I don't think he lost a spot, maybe 1 spot.

It might have been Bell, not Allgaier. Still a fantastic save!

Great battle for the lead between The Dinger and Cindric during the final 2 laps.

Cindric wins after making a late race pit stop. Jr. and rest of the commentators thought is was a dumb move. In the final 2 laps fresher tires won the race.

Cup qualifying coming next at 6:40. 2 rounds - 25 minutes followed by a 10 minute 2nd round.

Cars are impounded until tomorrow for pre-race inspection starting in the morning.

Chase Elliott wins the Bowling For Dollars provisional pole. The rest of the final qualifying drivers are Byron, TWT, Truex, Larson, Hamlin, Busch1, Johnson, Almirola, Keso, McDowell and Stenhouse.

Cup pre-race inspection begins at 9 AM to determine the official starting spots. Fail once and qualifying time is set to zero as if no attempt to Q was made.

Speaking of inspection - 2nd place car in the X-Race, The Dinger, was found to be too low. This is the second time this year to be DQ'ed.

All 37 cars passed inspection. After inspection Blaney's crew noticed something wrong in the rear suspension, fixed it and reinspected OK. He will start at the rear for unapproved adjustments.

Set your iFL rosters by 2:55, then sit back and enjoy the race.

Some spotty rain around the track, but cars have wipers and can switch to rain tires if needed.

I like Chase Elliott too, but :facepalm:

Green flag for 1st 20 lap heat.

TWT spins on lap 2. No damage and all cars cleared.

 

[GA_Boater]

5 laps done with Elliott leading by 2.7 sec. TWT looks like he's recovering and back to 8th place.

 

[GA_Boater]

Lap 10 and Elliott has 4.6 secs over Hamlin.

 

[GA_Boater]

15 laps - Over 6 secs. for the #9.

 

[GA_Boater]

Green pits starting on lap 17. Elliott stayed out.

Elliott takes heat 1. Byron had a nice ride through the grass on the heat ending lap. The grill is all dirt like at Eldora the other night. LOL

 

[GA_Boater]

The 18 put a bumper to the 24 and 24 went thru grass.

Byron being encouraged to get the grass off the front of his grille -- by knocking the eff out of the 18 rear bumper.

Sounds like a good idea to me! Go for it!

Looks like William is a little less than happy with Kyle!

 

[GA_Boater]

Byron smashed the front of the #24 knocking the dirt and grass off on TWT's rear bumper.

TWT caught in the radar speeding on pit road. To the back. Aw!

 

[GA_Boater]

On the heat 2 restart, Larson in front. Elliott in 5th behind cars that pitted before the end of the heat.

Klingerman spins - No yellow.

Elliott up to 2nd and closing on Larson.
