I was wondering the same thing. I only saw the last 25. The flipping, about 13 times, was interesting. He got out right away.... Too bad you didn't get to see it GA....:boink::fear:

Whoa - Just saw a vid on Nascar. Barrel rolls, no idea how many. The kid must must have a bad, bad headache.

This happens too often at Daytona.

I see Jeb was bounced from Cup, not surprised, and is now driving the #43 for Petty in Xfinity. And he just wrecked...

Jeb didn't show much in Cup. With the new setup, performance counts even more than before.

Chase Elliott won the X-Men race. Does it bode well for the D500 tomorrow?

Just finished the tape of the X men.

Chase did a great job keeping Joey (a #3 Dale wanna be) from wrecking him. Held him off for the win.

The replay of his rear quarter getting folded in was amazing. I can't believe he didn't spin out.

Watched the truck race having my morning coffee. My recording of the truck race ended at lap 7.:grumpy: Had to watch the last two laps on Nascar. Wow what a mess.

Still trying to get sponsors lined up for the big race. ;)

Now I'm disliking Cup guys racing in the Xfinity races since they changed their format too. All series went to a Chase format. Cup guys will take wins away from full timers and a potential spot in the Chase....

One concession was made about the Truck and X-Men having Cuppers in their races - They can't run in the finale at Homestead. We need a finger twirl smilie. I think only points drivers should be in the Truck and X-Men Chase races. It minimizes their Championship when outsiders are taking away their points, not to mention taking points during the regular season which could have make a difference who is makes their Chase..

When I'm Boss of Nascar things will change! :D

Ah - You see the method behind my madness! The Force be with us. Safety in numbers. You can beat some of us some of the time, but you can't beat all of us all of the time. :D

Driver intros just finished, so it won't be long before the green flag waves and the mayhem begins.

Good luck everyone!

1st caution when Elliott spins and tears the front off the 24 when the splitter digs into the grass. Who is one of my picks? Yeah, the 24. :facepalm:

Started watching at lap 32. Looks like I didn't miss much. How did Chase spin? Only 1 caution?

No - 2 yellows now. Vickers just spun and Edwards hiy the wall along with a few others.

On Elliott - It looked like he lost the air on the spoiler and the rear swung to the right and ended up sliding in the grass.
