My poor liver is going to take a beating tomorrow.

Hockey playoff game at 3, then the race after...

Depending on how much it rained, it could be a green track and tire wear would be a factor like it was in the Xfinity race.

Bust your butt to get a decent starting spot and fail inspection. What an idiot.

Ruthless NASCAR is ruthless.

Apparently some body issues around the door for at least a couple. At least a couple of wheel/suspension issues.

Jones and Johnson good on second time thru. Rest still need to go

 

[ChexOrWrex]

More pre-show and more commercials for the networks to make up lost on-track time. I think I'll pass.

100% controlled by the networks and sponsors.

Or simply cheat to get a good starting spot

Bout time. Penske has been doing this for years, could even see it on TV.

Obvious crinkle of sheet metal behind the 2 while at speed.

9 out of 37, almost a quarter of the field.

Who actually gets excited for Richmond?

 

[2 Sweet]

Who actually gets excited for Richmond?

I do. Mostly because it used to be one of the better tracks on the schedule, and apparently that's still how I remember it

 

[kyle18fan]

Who actually gets excited for Richmond?

Why, did NASCAR find a way to screw it up too ?

 

[StandOnIt]

Cars in the back lost pit road selection also. Ouch

Yep. Screw up and you have pay the penalty.

 

[zevious]

What’s up with the sound?

lol.Whats not to like?

 

[FLRacingFan]

I was lowkey surprised Tifft qualified 20th. Guess that explains that lol.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Is Mikey still on? I should have taken more time flossing my teeth.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

It’s startling how bad Michael is at this and how much better Ronde Barber is, wow. “Ronde comeon! Ronde I’m down here!” Barber should tackle him.
