[GA_Boater]

Sticking with only racing at Dega.

Byron and Smithley will start at the rear for 2 inspection failures. Gase will start at the rear for 3 flunks and make a pass through after the green flag waves.

Forecast has improved greatly from yesterday. Not of of the woods as afternoon T-storm chances are at 40%.

The roster lock time is now 3:17 and race start is 3:22.

 

[GA_Boater]

New to the rear list - To the rear: Byron, Gase, Smithley, Gaughan, Suarez, McLeod (62 77 96 added today for unapproved adjustments)

You still have about 15 minutes if your roster is affected.

 

[GA_Boater]

It's sunny and the ISS gave the command to start engines.

 

[GA_Boater]

Green flag! Comp. caution at lap 25. Doesn't look so sunny now.

 

[GA_Boater]

Lap 10 and it's Joey breaking wind.

 

[GA_Boater]

At the competition caution - Joey back to the front after a lot of changes.

 

[GA_Boater]

Wind is standing flags out straight. Rain is coming. :blue:

 

[GA_Boater]

And yellow for rain.

 

[GA_Boater]

Now red flag with Reddick leading. Reddick was good about coming in 2nd last week when he took the white flag as checkers.

Less than 3 laps to the end of the 1st heat. Hamlin was caught in the pits when yellow came out and is a lap down.

 

[GA_Boater]

Drivers back in the cars.

 

[GA_Boater]

Heat #1 finishes under yellow. Reddick gets his first heat win.

Lap 94 is halfway and official if rain pops up again.

 

[GA_Boater]

Green for heat #2.

 

[GA_Boater]

They made halfway in case more rain come and shortly after Nemechek does a partial spin after dropping what looked like tire rubber.

 

[GA_Boater]

With 5 laps to go in the 2nd heat - Debris caution.

And my satellite keeps breaking up cuz it's cats and dog outside.

And Stenhouse wins heat 2.

 

[GA_Boater]

Restart for final 63 laps. Harvick takes the lead.

 

[GA_Boater]

Now Elliott with 58 to go.

 

[GA_Boater]

Caution as Elliott wrecks. Keso pushed Elliott into the rear of Joey. They say Keso was being pushed too. :noidea:

43 to go.

 

[GA_Boater]

Yellow again for Poole getting shoved into the grass. Gase majorly scraped the wall. 46 left and everybody pits.

 

[GA_Boater]

Aw, TWT has a flat and 31 to go. Byron is leader in front of Joey.

 

[GA_Boater]

Bubba leading with 27 to go, but may be 4 laps short on gas.

And Joey takes point while typing.
