The sun is out here, but chilly. Thanks for asking. LOL

Dang it! With all the delays and flopping races around, I forgot the Truck race began at Noon. Truex won the first heat and 4 cautions in the heat.

iFL locks at 4:13.

 

[WIMUSKY]

Same here......🏖
Is it on Fox? The local Fox isn't broadcasting it...

The 5th yellow for a spin and two truck just joining in. Tempers are flaring!

Truex is leading 10 laps into the 2nd heat.

I'm watching on FS1. Cup is supposed to be on Fox at 4.

 

[WIMUSKY]

Got it. Gonna try and tape Cup. We'll be on the beach.....

 

[GA_Boater]

Two quick back to back yellows.

Ya can't watch it on your flip phone?

served me well.... lol. Can they have multiple compound tires? Or just adjust air pressure? Track will become a skating rink after it blackens...

Larson says they need to water the top. Seems like water would make it worse.

You can see the the rubber build up. That means the tires are wearing like Friday practices.

Truex won the 2nd heat.

 

[GA_Boater]

Green for the final heat - Truex leads.

Larson plows into a slower truck ... plows is too easy of a word!

 

[GA_Boater]

Larson is done. Red flag for oil on the track. That will help things.

Every dirt track blackens at some point unless they water and grade it, which ain't gonna happen today until the Truck race is over....

 

[GA_Boater]

11th caution.

But dirt races are short. These are being run like it's on pavement.

Truex wins. Cup mayhem begins about 4:18. The last caution;

Yup. The local tracks usually get that way towards the end of the nite.
They nailed Truex's setup.

 

[WIMUSKY]

Didn't see this, ooooops....

Was the safety truck driven by the guy whose truck was hit by Juan Pablo at Daytona? LOL

Motors are running and car are warming up on track. What a messed up way to run a race with the extra cautions.

Green flag! Hamlin led 1st lap.
