500 RACE thread --- Daytona

[HoneyBadger]

Well you have some time to plan, according to the clock

The Games of the XXXIV Olympiad are my top priority. I've signed up for the ticket draw and all that.

Hey @BobbyFord, you have a spare bedroom?

 

[Turtle84]

Thank you Briscoe drop the hammer on these fuel save jockeys

 

[DaleJrFan2003]

I love this race

Great looking setup. Love the black curtains behind the TV especially.

 

[superchuck500]

AccuWeather seems to show at least 90 more minutes before the rain gets close.

Thanks! Just a block wall that I painted black.

There's another small TV in the corner. Looks like the NASCAR channel is currently showing the Duels.....

 

[superchuck500]

Is Kyle gonna have to go alone?

 

[wi_racefan]

I know its early, but the chevys just dont look like they have enough to get up front

 

[Charlie Spencer]

It's not that Kyle has 9 laps less fuel, it's that he may have to pit by himself eventually.

Nope!

 

[LibertyU24]

I guess Byron hitting the wall looked worse than it was.

 

[superchuck500]

This is going to be interesting possibly messy

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Ditto Allgaier.

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Johnson spins coming onto pit road.

 

[FLRacingFan]

The new Camaro nose doesn’t seem to push any cleaner than the old one…

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Another good no-caution call.

 

[DaleJrFan2003]

Idk why, but green flag pit stops at superspeedways are so satisfying to me

 

[DanicaFreak]

Weird groupings of cars on track

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Lady Luck has it in for Byron.

 

[jaqua19]

Alright

 

[superchuck500]

Looks like the 51 got lapped there at the end - I guess he’ll get the lap back

Jimmie will stay -1

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Smith's first playoff point!!!

Oh, wait...

 

[Turtle84]

Man Byron survived multiple late blocks to lines that ain't gonna fly later on

 

[FLRacingFan]

Pretty fun first stage.

The Fords sure do seem to work together better than the other two.

 

[rd45usa]

Love it, the ones up front out smarted themselves.

 

[2 Sweet]

Front Row always runs well at the plate tracks. Nice to see them get a stage win

 

[Charlie Spencer]

They have for years.

 

[Pat]

Strange looking top 10 for stage points... everyone pitted instead.

 

[superchuck500]

AccuWeather futurecast radar looks good - the bottom of the line of rain gets pulled up and passes to the north. Might stay good for the duration.

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Fun 1st stage. Let’s keep it going

 

[HoneyBadger]

All the pizza places by me are closed today because The Bible or something.

Sorry, the pizza places that aren't terrible, frozen crust, cardboard pizzas that is.

 

[Turtle84]

does Josh Berry get paid extra for AAA push?

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Dire Straits going to break! Fox has been on point with music this week

Go to grocery store right now, get a Home Run Inn Frozen pizza. Thank me later

Basement? Nice set up

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I expect the view would suck. Just me.

I’d like to be able to tell you if you were wrong

 

[jaqua19]

I like what I see on weather.gov better than Bob's interpretation. Last I checked, we probably got until at least 5:30 before it gets nervous.

 

[Greg]

Nobody can control the weather but if they were in doubt they should have started at 1:30 like they said they would.

 

[2 Sweet]

Yep!

One of these will suffice as well. Great bang for your buck...

 

[Jimbo Slice]

Nobody can control the weather but if they were in doubt they should have started at 1:30 like they said they would.

Apparently they can't start more than an hour earlier than the originally scheduled start time, per negotiated TV rules.

Weather.gov is the best resource for weather.

Tan line is precipitation potential.
