Austin Hill celebrated a victory Saturday night, but the biggest smiles were for Myatt Snider, who walked away from a flip on the final lap.

Are they made to break away like Indy and Formula 1?

No, they are not. That was a horrendous wreck. Glad he walked away.

I know know some parts are secured, like hood and deck lids. Don't know about other parts.

3:01 is the lock time for IFL. The 4 bonus picks are easier to make, IMHO.

The car has changed so much that I wonder if they made them crush to protect the driver..... Seems like they're going in the direction of F1, Indy. Single nut, one piece body. Instead of replaceable front wings, maybe rear too, Cup has decklids and hoods as being seperate parts...

Inspection results, better than I though with a new car.

I guess the front and rear clip bolt on to the center section.....

The only real variation of NASCAR models today is in their engines and body shell. The overall shape of each of the cars, the tires, suspensions, fueling systems, electronics, and transmission are all the exact same.

Are they planning on cutaway car to show off the new car changes? The tires, suspensions, fueling systems, electronics, aero and transmission are NOT all the exact same.

Was looking forward to watching a race on TV and not on my laptop. Turn on the TV and my signal is terrible. It is getting better slowly but this is sad. Winds are blowing 20 to 40mph, might have something to do with it. All the other channels look fine.

 

[GA_Boater]

The top line is falling back and green flag pit stops going on.

Caution. Grala and Briscoe. Haley loses a wheel.
After the restart Blaney had a wheel disintegrate, Haley had the rear diffuser dragging.
