2021 Nascar - Race #5 - Phoenix

[GA_Boater]

The final ????? to the rear report with two more added.

So going to the rear today are Larson, Byron and Ware for 2x tech failures; Elliott and Houff for unapproved adjustments; and Smithley for driver change

3 Hendrick teams to the rear. Bowman isn't much of a team player! LOL

They should send him to rear also just for being a team mate...

If Larson placed 2nd I think I would have been about 8th in the league. Got lucky.

Whoever Jason Biggs is, he just said the start 'em up.

 

[GA_Boater]

Bowman didn't drop back in sympathy.

Green flag!

 

[GA_Boater]

Keso led for 3 laps, then Hamlin took over.

 

[GA_Boater]

Lets do a teammate check;

Bowman - 18th
Larson - 21st
Byron - 22nd
Elliott - 23rd

Lap 20, Hamlin still leads.

 

[GA_Boater]

Keso took the lead back in the pits during the Comp. caution.

 

[GA_Boater]

Lap 44 and Blaney takes the lead from Keso.

Fate caught up with Bowman. It looks like ADillion helped him around.

First real yellow with 28 to go in the `1st heat.

 

[GA_Boater]

15 to go in the heat and Elliott (5th) and Bryron (9th) are inside the top ten. Blaney leads.

 

[GA_Boater]

With 6 to go in the 1st heat - Larson is 9th, Byron 8th and Elliott 5th. Blaney is leading Joey, Keso.

 

[GA_Boater]

Blaney wins heat 1. I think Elliott nipped Hamlin for 4th or real, real close. Byron 8th and Larson 9th. Bowman, in 25th, should have moved to the rear to start as a show of team unity.

 

[GA_Boater]

Almost 40 wide on the restart. They all of the pavement in turn 1. Joey is the leader.

 

[GA_Boater]

Caution for Alfredo ripping off the rear end with some help from Ware. Only 16 laps into heat 2.

 

[GA_Boater]

Green flag stops under way.

 

[GA_Boater]

Larson too fast on pit road - 2nd time today. TWT had an uncontrolled tire, so both do a pass through. 40 laps to go in heat 2, LaJoie leading 50 laps since his last stop and Joey is waiting to take the lead.

 

[GA_Boater]

La Joie's tires gave up, so Joey is leading again

 

[GA_Boater]

Joey won heat 2 and was 1st out of the pits.

 

[GA_Boater]

Truex almost wrecked Joey, but Joey kept the lead.
