1st of 2 races today.
Hope magnethead and his girlfriend are having a good time.

 

[StandOnIt]

Race to the rear.

 

[MikeInIllinois]

I'll be interested tp see how quickly Matt Crafton can make his way through the field and how long Connor Zilsch can stay in the lead.

[MikeInIllinois]

Mostly Cloudy and 65 degrees for the green flag.

Zilisch has already won the 24 hours of Daytona and the 12 hours of Sebring road races this year.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Great start, kid!

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

What a cluster**** of a start

 

[FLRacingFan]

Zilisch headed for Galveston

Zilisch headed for Galveston

First to worst after the tire change.

Credit to Fox for graphics telling us the turn being shown.

EDIT and for good use of the overhead shots.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

God this broadcast team has zero idea what is going on. Remote broadcasts are the worst

 

[Charlie Spencer]

A great demonstration of a developmental series. I've had overstuffed burritos that weren't this sloppy.

 

[AdoubleU24]

Harvick was praising Zilisch during practice saying he was probably the best braker he's ever seen. Ya don't say lmao

 

[MikeInIllinois]

A strong 1st stage for Tanner Gray, coming in 3rd.

The burritos themselves or the aftermath?

 

[donthaveanickname]

I knew Ty was bad but behind Jack Wood? Geez.

 

[MikeInIllinois]

12 drivers elected not to pit.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

The burritos themselves or the aftermath?

The burritos. They don’t dare try to bother my cast iron digestive system.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

No respect for the pole sitter.

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

Holy ****. A penalty for exceeding track limit!!!

 

[StandOnIt]

 

[donthaveanickname]

Things aren't going well for Zilisch. Pass-through for a shortcut in the esses.
Sanchez gets one as well. And gets spun.

 

[donthaveanickname]

And gets spun

Or rather spins himself.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Wild restart.

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

It's just comical watching everyone run either all the way below the rumble strips or all the way off course.

 

[MikeInIllinois]

Jack Hawksworth running strong through the first 2 stages in 3rd. Otherwise this has been a usual suspects race.

 

[StandOnIt]

Jack Hawksworth running strong through the first 2 stages in 2nd. Otherwise this has been a usual suspects race.

I think we have another player. Zilisch is coming.

 

[donthaveanickname]

In these studio shots they showed when going to commercial Corey looked like he hadn't slept in three days.

I don’t understand what purpose those serve. Just keep showing the race until fade out. We’re not 9, we don't need to be told when the cartoon stops and the ads begin.

 

[MikeInIllinois]

This race has a quicker than average pace going for it.

 

[StandOnIt]

Zilisch is losing ground to Heim

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Heim has got this as long as there isn’t a caution

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Zilisch is losing ground to Heim

Fading but still a good debut.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Clueless Alan again.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Yeah this is about to get wild

 

[donthaveanickname]

Second time Alan brings out the caution.
For the last 5 or so years it's always been the same guys who bring out the cautions in this series. Alan, Thompson, Wood Moffitt and one or two others.

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

How many cautions does Lawless Alan cause per race? On average?

 

[donthaveanickname]

Are some goanna go bold and change tires? From 10th on back they have nothing to lose.
