Forecast grows ****tier for the weekend

I’d rather they push it to Monday and not try the start and stop, start and stop, to halfway BS.

I have the weekend off (beyond rare) so the door is open for me to go on Sunday. Once again, the weather does not look good. Brutal....

I'm in the same boat as you. Probably going to be a Sunday at 5 AM decision from me.

It’s almost comical. The past week has been beautiful, and the weather the week after Sunday is supposed to be perfect as well. Grr

 

[dpkimmel2001]

Weather..... watcha gonna do?

Bitch about it

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Bitch about it

Yeah. Lost about an hour of sleep last night when a little thunderstorm moved through. We need the rain, but
the theatrics can wait until daylight.

 

[dpkimmel2001]

Programming change!!!!!

 

[dpkimmel2001]

About Sunday's race.....

 

[Efisher131]

The weather has taken a positive turn. 40% chance of showers Sunday, and not for much of the day.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Major network connection issues here at work, and I have to route my Internet traffic through Italy (I'm serious). It won't support streaming, so somebody tell me how first practice is going!

Awwww how are you gonna survive? I love the rain myself

 

[StandOnIt]

It huffed and it puffed and it blew 80MPH winds and it DIDN'T rain grrrr.

IDK what has gotten into Menard, he must really like it driving for the Wood Bros.

 

[Kiante]

Top 12 is close, not even a two tenth difference.

Interesting stuff.

I wonder with Nascar letting them race, the backmarkers could be involved in the big one. Last year it was pretty crazy. No stickum on the track.

 

[StandOnIt]

the where's Trevor update? 29th

 

[TexasRaceLady]

They are playing "you go first" --- "no, YOU go first". LOL

 

[dpkimmel2001]

I miss the old qualifying. This format is ridiculous. One thing the newer format has done is free up more time for me though. So, that's a good thing.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

7 minutes and 34 drivers still have to get out on the track for round 1.

Everyone has passed inspection except Lajoie ---- still working on backup car.

 

[Brentford]

Roughly half of the drivers seem to be getting lose during qualifying.

 

[Brentford]

the where's Trevor update? 29th

No one ever said he was a great driver, so really no need for an update. There's a reason why he's being demoted to part time.

 

[StandOnIt]

top 4 all in the .9's going into the second round.

 

[kkfan91]

Kahne and Newman tied in time...it used to be that was for the pole now its 24th

 

[Kiante]

I bet Stenhouse wishes all tracks were concrete.

Dude is quick over a lap.

He also manages to wreck here every year

Also yes.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Congratulations Kyle Larson for the Pole.

Come on, young man, ditch the sunglasses for the TV interview.

 

[StandOnIt]

Larson got in there.

 

[Efisher131]

I guess I gotta make the drive now

 

[Mispeedway15]

It’s not that. Hard to explain but driving it is so similar to a dirt sprint car track with the way the car carries speed

I’ve got extra ponchos we’ll be good
