Nascar - Four Left Turns Just Like Indy

[GA_Boater]

Truex wins Heat #1 followed by The Dinger, Laron, Blamey and Hamlin.

 

[GA_Boater]

The Twerp came in before pit road closed and was caught speeding. Pass through penalty for him and he's next to last on the restart.

 

[GA_Boater]

Restart on lap 30. 5 laps and 10 minutes for the heat break out of 25. Ridiculous!

 

[GA_Boater]

Day spins and Stenhouse hits him causing much damage to the #17. Jr. forced Laron up on the curb, came back into Jr. who hit Danica and Day spins to avoid with Stenhouse hitting Day. All caused by 3 wide into a 90[SUP]0 [/SUP]turn. It can't be done!

2nd real caution for this.

 

[GA_Boater]

The Dinger wheel hops in the Carousel, get clipped by Larson. No yellow, but damage to both with The Dinger getting the short end.

 

[GA_Boater]

Now a caution for parts coming off of The Dinger.

 

[GA_Boater]

Truex had tire changing probs - Dropped to 5th on the restart from the lead.

8 laps left in heat, JJ leading.

 

[GA_Boater]

Johnson wins Heat #2 with about a 5 second lead. His best road course performance was in Busch at Watkins Glen before he moved up to Cup. One for the high (or low) light reels when he had a dramatic styrofoam shredding experience.

Truex is having all kinds of trouble.

 

[GA_Boater]

Back to green after 4 caution laps.

 

[GA_Boater]

Truex is tell crew the motor may be ready to go. 34 to go.

 

[GA_Boater]

Then the CC tells pit reporter the motor is OK. A few laps later he pits with a smoking motor. Oooops

 

[GA_Boater]

Harvick around Keso for the lead. 20 to go.

 

[GA_Boater]

Harvick wins for the first time at Sonoma.

tubby taylor or 88 & 24 TO THE TOP! is the early iFL winner, final on Tuesday. Only 1 point separates the two,

 

[GA_Boater]

Kahne sure gave the wall a hard lick in the closing moments!

 

[GA_Boater]

The Twerp finished in 5th spot. May be the two loose lugnuts allowed him to improve his position coming out of the final pit stop. Penalty coming for him.

I remember that JJ WG hit in the Busch series. One of the worst I have seen besides Mikey (#30 Pennzoil car) and Mike Harmon hitting at Bristol on 2 separate occasions.

Looks like I got 7th. Truex and Danica killed me. In my Yahoo league I had Harvick (Group A-1st), MacMurray and Bowyer (Group B-10th and 2nd) and Suarez (Group C~17th). Pretty good lineup, huh? But right before the race I had the bright idea of swapping Bowyer for 'Dinger. Killed my results :facepalm:. Oh well

 

[GA_Boater]

JJ at The Glen is worth a replay. The styro didn't slow him down a bit. From 2000, 17 years ago.

Way to go Tubby! As for my team ... they were too busy getting knocked out/around to finish well. Hey, "I'm 23rd!"

 

[boatman37]
