Can't wait! I'm heading out Friday! Golf at The Virtues Club Friday afternoon on my way out then staying in Cincinnati Friday and Saturday night!

The weather as of not now looks good! It's going to be hot but not overly humid. Glad it's a night race :D
 
Was hoping for rain on Friday so the Xfinity race would get postponed til Saturday like last year and have a double header. Really feel like they should do that more often any way and not just because of the weather. Don't like the Truck Series running on Thursday and would rather see that Friday night.
 
All three NASCAR national series will see a new left-side tire this weekend at Kentucky Speedway.
Teams in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup, Xfinity and Camping World Truck series will run the same tire set-up this at Kentucky, including a new left-side tire that came about as a result of a tire test May 15-16 at the track.

Compared to what was run last season, the new left-side tire features a construction update and a compound change to give the cars and trucks more grip. Drivers participating in that test were Clint Bowyer, William Byron, Joey Logano, Ryan Newman and Martin Truex Jr.

All teams will use the same right-side tire as last season.

And if the tires hold up for Cup and X like they did for the trucks, there's going to be a lot of 2-tire and even no tire pit calls.

I'd love to know how much information sharing is going on between the Chevy teams. It can't be very much.

I'm about over this season.

Yeah, I’m done as well. Of course I’ll watch like an idiot, but I have no hope. HMS is a dumpster fire. Chase’s only shot is a plate race (but no one will go with him) or the Roval.

Edit: maybe Martinsville or Bristol

By any chance are you at work? Many workplaces block Twitter access.

If you're at home, what happens if you go to Twitter and search for '@Dustin Long'? He's the one who authored the posts you can't see in the example you pasted.

I don't think it's a browser issue as much as an access issue. Resolving Twitter access issues first should then take care of Twitter problems from within Racing Forums.
