2021 Nascar - The Race, Phoenix

[GA_Boater]

It bugs me when races end like this. Restart, yellow, restart, yellow.....................

 

[GA_Boater]

Hemric wins the race and the championship. Hemric has not won a single Nascar race in any series until tonight.

Hemric had one heck of a last corner. That little bump gave him the opening.

 

[GA_Boater]

3:15 is the lock time for iFL.

Hemric said after the race that he was only paid if he finished in the top 5.

Almost time to play ball! Opening ceremony underway.

 

[GA_Boater]

Command given, motors are fired up.

 

[GA_Boater]

Green flag and Larson leads opening lap. Elliott takes the lead after crossing the S/F line for lap 2.

 

[GA_Boater]

Lap 6 and Wallace helped into the wall by LaJoie.

 

[GA_Boater]

Larson pits during the yellow and only 6 laps on his tires. The talking heads are confused.

 

[GA_Boater]

5 wide restart, Elliott keeps the lead.

 

[GA_Boater]

Lap 15 and LaJoie into the wall. LaJoie up the track into Stenhouse, who seems to be OK.

 

[GA_Boater]

Leaders pit. Larson ends up 5th after the 2nd caution.

 

[GA_Boater]

Blaney leads the restart. Elliott up to 6 and avoided Harvick. LOL

 

[GA_Boater]

Elliott started to pass Larson on lap 27 and almost lost it with a wiggle. Blaney leads. 45 laps left in heat 1.

 

[GA_Boater]

Harvick has closed up on Elliott

 

[GA_Boater]

And passes Elliott for 3rd. Blaney and Larson in front of him.

 

[GA_Boater]

Harvick is trying to pass Blaney. 9 and 19 have closed on them.

Harvick went low to the lead, but Truex worked his way to the front.

 

[GA_Boater]

Truex wins the 1st heat. Then Harvick, Elliott, Hamlin and Larson round out the top 5.

 

[GA_Boater]

Elliott off pit road first, then Truex Harvick Hamlin Larson
