2021 Nascar - Daytona, Turn Left And Right

[GA_Boater]

A reminder that Erik Jones is starting at the rear for his engine change before the 500 last week. Inspections are in progress and the roster is still set to lock at 3:15.

GA - Were you looking at my starters?

 

[GA_Boater]

Who me? Better look at starter #2 again. ROFL!

Humpty makes me post updates like who is going to the back for a level playing field. What a dolt! He has me do all the work!

 

[GA_Boater]

Other than Jones, no other cars to the rear unless some unapproved adjustments are found.

No competition caution today and heats end on laps 16/34/70 for about a 250 mile race. 3:15 roster lock time.

Except for Haley flunking pre-race inspection twice. Boy - Good help is hard to find these days!

Congrats GA for the first win of the season...

Goodluck today everyone...may we all have enough drivers still running when the checkers fall.

 

[GA_Boater]

Engines fired and warmup underway. The Dinger's car was a little hard to start, but he's going now. Smithley to the rear for unapproved adjustments.

Thanks, Cowboy. Hope we have a nice clean race.

Green flag for the Daytona road race.

McDowell went way wide in the 1st turn. TWT has mashed right front.

 

[64osby]

McDowell didn't want to run up front I guess.

1st yellow for a hunk of smokin' rubber on the track.

And that was lap 1!

Restart on lap 4.

Spinners, Briscoe and others in the backstretch chicane - No Yellow, but he rumbled over the turtle!

 

[GA_Boater]

Elliott has led the 1st 10 laps and has an almost 5 second lead over Hamlin in 2nd.

 

[64osby]

Didn't look like Keso did a complete stop and go after blowing the chicane. Penalty coming?

 

[GA_Boater]

Caution #2 for Matt D. ripping the rt. 1/4 panel off with a shredded tire. Keso appears to have brake issues.

Everybody pits on lap 11. Ooops a tire in the grass between the pits and track.

I thought the same thing. He did a roller, wonder if Nascar caught it?

 

[GA_Boater]

Tire from Byron and another loose one too.

Green flag

 

[GA_Boater]

Keso is locking up his brakes, his tires must almost be gone.

Elliott wins the first heat.
