Who's that in second? I think that It's Bill's boy.

OneAnd Matt is the perfect foil for those puns --- absolute dead-pan expression.
I wonder how many takes they had to do before he could do it with such a straight face.
Interesting...in the first practice Kenseth never ran a qualifying set up...and of course no one did in the second. He also never ran ten consecutive laps, pulled off twice in 9 laps. Something going on that might surprise us??? Car looked more like a SH car than a Roush car through the corners.

Ummm no
Ten lap average looks like it’s gonna be the Kevin and Kyle show again.

I hope! Kevin didn't look so hot in the short runs but it's a looooong race.
Also, why is it either Dillon or Newman has a good car, but never both at the same time?
Also also, bah gawd Truex looked bad.

Wouldn’t it be better to be fast late in the run, especially given the tire fall off?
I guess time will tell.

I'll give credit where it's due. That #99 Bojangles car looks pretty darn good. I hope Derrick doesn't wad it up too much.

If NASCAR had any gonads, he wouldn't be the winner of last year's race.

NWS sez max temperature 92, down to 90 at green flag, add 6 or 7 degrees for the heat index all day. Partly cloudy most of the afternoon, minimal 20% chance. Looks like the Chamber of Commerce's check cleared.
I'll wave to y'all.

Wonder if they re-painted the walls? They were sure striped up after all the practice and yesterday's race.

I hope not.
Is this sucker actually going to start on the hour, and not :15 or :20 after?
EDIT: never mind; I found it. Jayski says 6:15

Me, too.I hope not.
Maybe yesterday after q'ing, since it's an impound race. No headaches this morning getting through.
Just a thought.

He’ll be starting from the back.
His last win came after starting in the back.

There is no real inspection today. Cars were inspected before qualifying this weekend and then impounded -- all qualifying results stand ... Next week at Indy, it will be opposite with no prequalifying tech, cars impounded & then tech on Sunday morning. #nascar

That's the first place I looked, but I looked at Sunday's schedule at the bottom!The OP.

NASCAR allowed RPM to “unwrap” the car today. This is what it will look like today (this scheme was underneath the wrap).
"What were the unapproved adjustments on the 48? No one is saying or don’t they know? He hit the wall but that sends the 48 to the rear??"
Bob PockrassVerified account @bobpockrass
Because an impound race, any pulling on the fenders/work on the body is considered an unapproved adjustment.

We never had this tech before/after quals problem before.

The process is different this week because qualifying was before the Xfinity race (thus allowing officials who work both series to focus on the Xfinity race).
