I would like to see Larson have a good night, but I don't think he is done making rookie mistakes, fun to watch, but he probably won't win
 
Oh geeze that Tom guy was young. Only 2 years younger than my father. Feel bad for his family :(
 
I've changed my mind about Michael Waltrip. The Grid Walk might be the best way to get him out of the rest of the coverage.
 
Points for having a sense of humor before antheming the race.

Good plan. Just do what Kasey is doing in that picture above and sit on your hands.
 
Weather update – 6:00 PM Saturday: At 2:30 PM CT, the Storm Prediction Center issued a severe thunderstorm watch for the Kansas Speedway area. There is a risk for very large hail, up to 3″, wind gusts to 70 mph and a possible tornado or two.

Rain is approaching Kansas Speedway from the SW though the heaviest portions is currently forecast to stay west of the track. The rain is forecast to arrive just in time for the green flag. So we may have a delayed start to the race. Additionally, a few red flags due to rain are possible during the race.

Tomorrow is no better with a higher risk for severe weather tomorrow.

Sat. May 10, 6:30 PM5-Hour Energy 400 (NSCS)Cloudy, 76°F,
