Suarez spins after the start of heat 2.

 

[GA_Boater]

Harvick takes the lead on the restart.

 

[GA_Boater]

Larson spins on lap 86.

 

[GA_Boater]

Harvick wins heat 2 and it's an official race now.

 

[GA_Boater]

Back to green until the rain hits. Bowyer in front.

 

[GA_Boater]

That was short run. Stenhouse spins.

 

[GA_Boater]

Rain is in turn 2 and picking up. The track is losing it.

 

[GA_Boater]

The Twerp better not win this one. 1st Nascar said Come to the pits, then they said stay out. The Twerp stayed out and is now shown as the leader.

 

[GA_Boater]

ace is called and either Bowyer or Harvick is the winner. They have to sort through where they were when the yellow came out. I think it's Bowyer, Harvick has won enough this year. :smile:

I think sam60 is the winner - If Nascar decides that way. I have :noidea:, except it wasn't me. LOL

Surprised they were able to get the race in at all. We live 2 hours to the west and it rained all day. Made for soggy Grad parties that we attended.

Last week we had a party for our son, didn't even think about filling out the FL. That was the second time this year. Not even a chance of winning the season anymore.:blue:

With no Cup race this Father's Day weekend, iFL has closed shop. But before they left, the results from Michigan were posted on the front door.

Tiz won his first race. A slim, 6 point win, but a win is a win, especially with all confusion in the rain with the early finish. Congrats, Tiz.

FlaCowboy slipped a few point in the overall standings, but still has a nice lead.

Trucks and X-Men race Saturday and Sunday at Iowa. Next race for Cup is a road race from Sonoma on the 24th.

I read somewhere early this morning that 3 of Gibbs cars were nailed with L1 penalties for their splitters still being wrong, all three loose their car chief for one race and the crew chief's have been fined $25K. The only one that didn't get a penalty was the 19 car.

 

[GA_Boater]

The three cars (The Twerp, Jones and Hamlin ) were sent to the back to start the race. And The Twerp's winning X-Car was busted at Pocono for ride height. :facepalm:

 

[MTboatguy]

I knew they had been sent to the back of the class, but didnt hear about the money penalties until I read that this morning, all three should loose drivers points as well and the team should loose points!

This penalty but no real penalty thing is getting old.

 

[GA_Boater]

L1 penalty is loss of 25 driver and owner points. But they still get race money, race points and stage points. Not sure about playoff points, but that's where the cucumber business comes in.

Actually they should get 0 points, 0 dollars and no credit for running the race. This is what you do if you are serous about stopping cheating - Disqualification!

 

[MTboatguy]

Yup, just like you didn't run.
