Joey wins heat 2 and rain is approaching.

 

[GA_Boater]

Joey keeps the lead out of the pits.

Green for the final 240 laps.

Haven’t watched, forgot to set my bonus picks, forgot to check in and make a garage adjustment before Stage 3... :facepalm:

 

[GA_Boater]

Seems like #NASCAR is preparing a plan with the "Titans" as weather may become a concern in #FirstData500

from

NO, NO, NO! I have to make up some points in the last heat. It is an "official" race with heats 1 and 2 complete.

 

[GA_Boater]

It wasn't all that long ago it was bright and sunny. Dull and dreary looking now. Rain is not very far off.

Truex is pressuring Joey.

 

[GA_Boater]

Truex grabs the lead from Joey. 140 laps left unless :rain:

 

[GA_Boater]

Byron spins for the yellow.

 

[GA_Boater]

Joey outdrives Truex in and out of turn 4 and retakes the lead. Then Timmy Hill's car bursts into flame for a yellow. :facepalm:

 

[GA_Boater]

Back to green with 104 laps to go and the sun is back out. The WX gurus are saying the rain is breaking up.

 

[GA_Boater]

Oh - Joey is leading and pulling away with 0.805 seconds over Truex.

 

[GA_Boater]

Now Larson wrecks for a yellow.. 100 laps.

 

[GA_Boater]

Keso leading now - Not sure if he pitted. He has 0.9 secs on Joey.

 

[GA_Boater]

Keso leads by 2.3 secs with all the fighting for position behind him. Joey still in 2nd.

 

[GA_Boater]

We had a Bowyer spin for a yellow and erased Keso's big lead.

Joey is back in front of Keso by 0.6 secs. 28 to go.

 

[GA_Boater]

Keso on Joey's tail. 19 laps.

 

[GA_Boater]

10 laps and still nose to tail. Hop Keso doesn't swipe Joey's bumper.

Now Truex gets around Keso, 7 laps. Laps go fast here.

 

[GA_Boater]

Side by side, Truex inside. 2 laps.

 

[GA_Boater]

Joey hold Truex off for the checkers. Some good racing there. Some how Hamlin got around Truex for 2nd.

3rd on back - Truex, The Twerp, Keso, BuschX1, Elliott, Newman, Suarez and Harvick. Playoff drivers - Almirola in 11th and Bowyer 21st.

It looks like Sam60 will get a chock!

 

[GA_Boater]

Joey cooked some tires! LOL

 

[GA_Boater]

Truex is not happy that Joey did the Bump and Run. Exactly what he would do if Joey was front on the final corner.
