2020 Nascar - Darlington - Cup Playoffs Begin

[GA_Boater]

Creed wins the 2nd heat.

 

[GA_Boater]

Heat 3 restart - Moffit leads.

 

[GA_Boater]

Yellow for Ankrum partial spin, only about 90 degrees, didn't hit anything or body. 42 laps to go.

 

[GA_Boater]

Moffit gets a good jump and lead on the restart. 39 to go.

 

[GA_Boater]

Caution for Tanner Gray spin. 4th caution not counting heat enders.

 

[GA_Boater]

18 to go on the restart - Moffit still leads.

 

[GA_Boater]

Then Creed takes the lead and Hill up to 2nd. 15 to go.

 

[GA_Boater]

Caution for Ragan and Reaume after Crafton made contact with Reaume. 4 to go, so OT finish. Creed leading before the restart except he pitted with other up front cars for gas. Rhodes in first for the restart. Creed caught speeding entering the pits.

 

[GA_Boater]

Rhodes leads at the white flag and wins the first Darlington Truck race since 2011.

 

[GA_Boater]

One flunk in Cup pre-race for Blaney, improperly mounted ballast. Team says a 5 pound of bag of lead shot is used to simulate fluid weight prior to motor installation car balance adjustments. I guess a dummy motor is used, but why not add 5 pound to the dummy for oil/water weight inside the motor. Anyway, they didn't take the shot bag out before inspection causing a 10 point penalty and crew chief 1 race suspension.

Chastain is also starting at the rear for a driver change from Sorenson.

Was Humpty drinking when I wrote this or was I drinking when Humpty wrote it?;

iFL playoffs are the same as last year. Pick 2 playoff drivers and 2 non-playoff drivers plus a garage driver. Usage is a max of 5 times over the 10 playoff races.

The only parts that are correct is about the garage and 5 uses during the 10 playoff races.

Pick 5 drivers and a garage driver. Any 6 drivers can be used for the roster and garage, no mix of playoff and non-playoff drivers is required as in past years. :sorry: for any confusion. :doh:

Roster lock has been moved up to 6:12, 19 minutes to make any changes.

I haven't. I've been cheat streaming FS1 and NBCSN. My complex is changing from DirecTV to something called GigaMonster for TV and Internet. And it's been a bit frustrating because I can't find what will be in the basic or add-on packages. GigsMonster site sucks like VB, so you know it's bad and the people I pay rent to every month know less than I do.

Pre-race activities are under way and 6 minutes to lock in your picks.

 

[GA_Boater]

They got their motors running! Warm up laps.

 

[GA_Boater]

Who is worse - Mikey on Fox or Rutledge on NBCSN?

 

[GA_Boater]

Let the playoffs begin! Green flag for the 115 lap 1st heat.

 

[GA_Boater]

Competition caution at lap 25. Elliott leads the 1st 5 laps.

 

[GA_Boater]

Hamlin got a Darlington Stripe. Elliott leading by almost 1.2 seconds with the Comp. Caution coming at lap 25.

 

[GA_Boater]

Comp. yellow waves as Elliott leads on lap 25.

 

[GA_Boater]

Lead lap cars pit with Elliott off pit road first.
