2021 Nascar - Race #12, Darlington

[GA_Boater]

More than half the field failed pre-race inspection the first time through. Only Almirola failed the second pass and will start at the rear.

You still have a couple of hours to change your roster if Almirola makes a difference.

Throwback weekend? These are 8x10 photos n Kodak paper taken on the Whitehouse lawn. A friend of ours was part of the Secret Service. They're no newer than 1976....

And a few cards...

Glover won 24 races as crew chief, including the 1991 Daytona 500 with Erine Irvan and the 1994 and 1995 Daytona 500s with Sterling Marlin.

That was back when the cars still looked like stock cars. No 4 doors converted to fake 2 doors or using a V8 to replace a 4 or 6 cylinder.

The #43 is the best throwback IMHO.

Got their motors running.

Green flag.

 

[GA_Boater]

Yellow for Almirola. A spin into the inside wall destroyed the front end by about a foot or two. He's done today.

 

[GA_Boater]

Back to green for lap 11. Harvick is leading for now.

 

[GA_Boater]

TWT takes the lead on lap 14.

 

[WIMUSKY]

Shrubby to the lead

 

[WIMUSKY]

Shrubby loses it, yellow....

 

[WIMUSKY]

Flat left rear

 

[GA_Boater]

TWT is no longer leading. A spin and wall smack will do that. Truex leads under yellow on lap 23.

 

[WIMUSKY]

Right rear outside cords showing... Weird...

 

[GA_Boater]

Elliott up to 19th after starting in back. Competition caution moved up and leaders pit.
