The TWT exhibition is coming to us from Richmond. What idiocy will we see or is he walking a tightrope?

Under dry skies, Cup and X-Men are racing tomorrow afternoon/evening. Anything can happen and it's too early to speculate who will make it to the next round, except for Hamlin locking a spot in the second round with his win last week. The schedule;
