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

When was Martinsville added to the schedule?
Newgarden is getting bullied out there right now, lol
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.
I usually don't have trouble keeping up with assorted strategies but this one has me flummoxed. I love it.
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.
Rossi trying a new weight reduction program
Well that screws a lot up.
Depending on how long this caution will be, the guys who stopped between laps 29-31 will now be saving like hell.
Halfway.
Scottie, Power, Lundgaard gonna be restarting 17th-18th-19th. Elbows out.
Power move! Around the outside, wow.
This race has truly seen it all…what???
Just quickly take it away after the field has gone by.
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...

Wow. This is a bit early for the guys who wanted to do two stops.
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.
Next up... That truck is gonna get stuck in the gravel trap.
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.

Penske must have told everyone this morning that everyone can take their gloves off.
What are they even talking about? Even with the caution no one did more than 31 laps during that first stint.
Santucci +8 to Palou after two laps. Keep pushing.
Spoiler: everyone except Dixon will run out of fuel on the final lap, Dixie wins.

Good grief. Does Santino have a shot at this? Running this well is not a bad sign going into May.
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.
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.
VeeKay has been such fun to watch this weekend.

At this point a yellow could wreck his race. Bring him in as soon as you know he can make the distance.
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.
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.
Guess we know which strategy worked.
Harvey was on the same strategy as the leaders, maybe a top 10 in play for DCR?
Lundqvist vs. Lundgaard for the final podium spot.
Linus should be on for his first podium here. Let’s go!
That one’s a penalty. Too ambitious.
