2020 Nascar - Martinsville - Rain Delayed - The Race To 4

[GA_Boater]

Green with 10 to go - Hamlin - Elliott.

 

[GA_Boater]

Bowman up to second behind heat winner Hamlin. Then Keso, Eliott and Joey. Joey and Truex were doing a good bit of banging.

 

[GA_Boater]

The Busch Bros stayed out and it's #18 and #1 when green flies for heat 2.

 

[GA_Boater]

The Bros ran side by side for a few laps before the Chevy Busch took the lead.

 

[GA_Boater]

Beuscher smoking and a yellow. on lap 146.

 

[GA_Boater]

Elliott leading again over Hamlin. Still a long way to in the 2nd heat - 77 laps.

 

[GA_Boater]

Harvick has a flat left rear and pits.

 

[GA_Boater]

Lap 185 and Poole loses a tire and hits the wall. This should benefit Harvick who is 2 laps down and the leaders will probably pit.

 

[GA_Boater]

Leaders pit and Elliott and Hamlin 1 - 2 out.

Harvick doesn't get a free pass because Nascar says he brought out the yellow. I thought is was Poole, but what do I know?

 

[GA_Boater]

Green with 68 to go. Elliott holds off Hamlin.

 

[GA_Boater]

Truex passes Hamlin for 2nd, 2 seconds behind Elliott. And a caution for LaJoie into the wall. Harvick is not in the free pass spot. 43 laps to go.

 

[GA_Boater]

Elliott hit the pits from the lead, 15 cars stayed out.

Hamlin stayed out and leads on the green. 33 to go.

 

[GA_Boater]

Elliott back in front after restarting 14th. 17 to go in the heat.

 

[GA_Boater]

Elliott wins heat 2.

 

[GA_Boater]

On the restart - Elliott hangs on to the lead. Hamlin had to re-pit to tighten the left front lugnuts.

 

[GA_Boater]

Caution for Timmy Hill with a flat.

Joey and Truex with restart on the front row, Blaney and Elliott in row 2.

 

[GA_Boater]

Elliott jackman over the wall early. Pass through for him.

Wait - Nascar said it was OK, no penalty.

 

[GA_Boater]

#9 jackman jumped too soon, but had the smarts to jump back on the wall before Elliott got to the stall - Just in time.

Green again and Joey leads, then Blaney. Elliott, Keso and Busch1.

131 laps to go and Blaney passes Joey to lead. Elliot still in 3rd.

 

[GA_Boater]

Harvick passes Wallace for the Lucky Dawg spot if and when yellow waves again.

 

[GA_Boater]

Caution and Harvick gets back on the lead lap. Davison stopped in turn 2.
98 laps left to see who gets to race for the trophy next week.
