Stupid question... Santino has an actual shot at this one, right?

 

[Charlie Spencer]

When was Martinsville added to the schedule?

 

[FLRacingFan]

Newgarden is getting bullied out there right now, lol

 

[FLRacingFan]

Stupid question... Santino has an actual shot at this one, right?

If I’m reading the leaderboard right I think he’s fourth on the two-stop strategy, Palou being the leader. And he can burn more than those guys since he pitted a few laps later after stopping under the early yellow. They’re putting themselves in good position for sure.

He can do it on one more stop, I doubt anyone else can.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

I usually don't have trouble keeping up with assorted strategies but this one has me flummoxed. I love it.

 

[FLRacingFan]

He can do it on one more stop, I doubt anyone else can.

Palou, Rosenqvist, Armstrong seem to be aiming for lap 60-61, but it’s probably going to take some fuel save that Ferrucci doesn’t need to do.

McLaughlin, Lundgaard, Power all pushing for three stops.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Rossi trying a new weight reduction program

 

[Reck]

This has been an off the walls race. Loving the craziness

 

[FLRacingFan]

Well that screws a lot up.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Depending on how long this caution will be, the guys who stopped between laps 29-31 will now be saving like hell.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Halfway.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Scottie, Power, Lundgaard gonna be restarting 17th-18th-19th. Elbows out.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Power move! Around the outside, wow.

 

[Reck]

The ****

 

[FLRacingFan]

This race has truly seen it all…what???

 

[donthaveanickname]

Just quickly take it away after the field has gone by.

 

[donthaveanickname]

We'll see replays of that for decades to come.
Btw. at first I thought that was a sex doll someone threw on track.
We're in Alabama after all. OK it ain't Florida...

 

[FLRacingFan]

Wow. This is a bit early for the guys who wanted to do two stops.

 

[donthaveanickname]

I'm kinda scratching my head about the Penske guys coming in during the caution. They gotta know the others won't make it easy for them.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Next up... That truck is gonna get stuck in the gravel trap.

 

[FLRacingFan]

14 bunch are staying out.

Let’s this green sooner than later, make those guys who just pitted save even more. I thought the Rossi caution would screw the strategy up but this last yellow threw another wrinkle in.

 

[Doc Austin]

Penske must have told everyone this morning that everyone can take their gloves off.

 

[donthaveanickname]

What are they even talking about? Even with the caution no one did more than 31 laps during that first stint.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Santucci +8 to Palou after two laps. Keep pushing.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Spoiler: everyone except Dixon will run out of fuel on the final lap, Dixie wins.

 

[Doc Austin]

Good grief. Does Santino have a shot at this? Running this well is not a bad sign going into May.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Surprised they didn’t keep Santino out longer to build more of a gap. Would’ve figured they’d have the fuel to get to 70 or so.

 

[Reck]

Newgarden is in meh mode.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Leaders running 1.5 seconds/lap quicker than Palou. Gonna have the gap built up I think. And then more fuel/better tires after the stop anyways.

 

[FLRacingFan]

VeeKay has been such fun to watch this weekend.

 

[Doc Austin]

Surprised they didn’t keep Santino out longer to build more of a gap. Would’ve figured they’d have the fuel to get to 70 or so.

At this point a yellow could wreck his race. Bring him in as soon as you know he can make the distance.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Lundqvist way ahead of Santino! There might be a new player in this one, he has a better shot at winning than Palou in any case.

 

[FLRacingFan]

At this point a yellow could wreck his race. Bring him in as soon as you know he can make the distance.

Needed to go as far as possible to build a gap like the other leaders have done. They pitted him early enough that he wound up back in traffic. Lundqvist came out way ahead.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Guess we know which strategy worked.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Harvey was on the same strategy as the leaders, maybe a top 10 in play for DCR?

 

[donthaveanickname]

Lundqvist vs. Lundgaard for the final podium spot.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Linus should be on for his first podium here. Let’s go!

 

[Reck]

These guys in the booth spent an hour and a half about how Palou was in a great spot and how it would go down to the wire. Palou won’t even get a podium. Lmao hype team

 

[FLRacingFan]

That one’s a penalty. Too ambitious.
