Nascar 2020 - Daytona Speed Weeks

[GA_Boater]

Yellow flies after white flag for cars wrecking in the rear, no OT. Gragson wins his first X-Race and Dale Jr. wins too.

The D500 start time has been moved to 3:18, later than the original 2:30 start. iFL lock is unchanged so far - 2:25 EST.

Don't take any chances.

Have fun ... I will be on the road ... college visits ...

Go to MRN and find radio stations that carry the race. Or go to MRN.com and click on LIVE to listen if you can get the Web while traveling.

You need to be able to get to iFL to switch your garage driver is needed.

Can you delay a day? :blue:

 

[GA_Boater]

iFL lock time has been changed to 3:13, 5 minutes before the updated start time.

Good luck iFLers.

 

[WIMUSKY]

So the start time is now 225 eastern?

 

[GA_Boater]

3:18 EST, Musky.

Pre-race inspect got a few hits. Hamlin and Poole flunked twice, passed on 3rd go, both starting at the back, Poole was there already for engine change. Bowman failed 1st time, passed on 2nd. All cars are through inspection.

Going to rear: Blaney LaJoie (backups) TDillon (transmission) McLeod (gear) and Poole (engine), Hamlin(tech).

Pre-race show is on FS1, flips to FOX at 1 EST, 12 CST, 11 MST, 10 PST - In 45 minutes regardless of time zone. :smile:

 

[WIMUSKY]

Why the time change from original?

 

[GA_Boater]

Rumors fly, but the change increases the chance of rain during the race.

 

[WIMUSKY]

Say what? That makes no sense....

 

[GA_Boater]

I agree. Watch the pre-game show and about 1:20 rumors become fact.

 

[GA_Boater]

Make that about 1:30 Eastern.

 

[GA_Boater]

Make that a few minutes ago.

 

[GA_Boater]

Another car to the back - Christopher Bell for unapproved adjustments.

Less than an hour left for final roster tweaks if needed.

 

[GA_Boater]

Outstanding Anthem!

Engines fired and pace laps are underway.

Heats today are 65 laps for 1 and 2, final is 70 laps.

 

[64osby]

I bet that Limo would be a great Demo Derby car.

 

[64osby]

Race hasn't even started and I'm already in 5th place. :blue:

 

[GA_Boater]

Hamlin! Moved to the back to start might you in a hole, 64.

G̶r̶e̶e̶n̶ ̶f̶l̶a̶g̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶o̶p̶e̶n̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶2̶0̶2̶0̶ ̶C̶u̶p̶ ̶s̶e̶a̶s̶o̶n̶ Never mind, it 's raining. Not much but enough to bring the cars down pit road.

This race should have started at the original time, an hour ago.

 

[WIMUSKY]

Heck I went to town, that took 1.5hrs now they're outta the cars. Think I'll take Nytro for a walk. That will kill another 30-45 mins....
