500 RACE thread --- Daytona

From the 19-minute highlight video on YouTube this looked like rather decent race without much chaos before the final lap.

I feel like the caution definitely would've come out for the first crash on the last lap if Chase hadn't been within a few meters from the lead.

At the end it looked like Tyler was the only car left running, he wasn't a fluke winner though. That move on the backstrech was executed perfectly.
 
Connor got seat time and yes gator made a block he should not have but they did ok.

Excited for Connor in atl. I’m also a svg fan (he was doing quite well before the big one)

I thought it was honestly a good one, if you put the fuel save and stage cautions aside. It got good on green flag cycle pit stops imo. and Vortex theory held true to end it in regulation without keeping us there all night long thru a weather delay or into a Monday finish.

I'm almost always in favor of letting them race back to the line in big moments like this, barring a safety urgency to get out there (tough call sometimes).

Upon further review I didn't realize that Reddick actually faked to the high side on the 9 then was on his low side six in a flash, some may say there is not much skill involved in the superspeedway sweepstakes and there is certainly an element of luck needed with help needed on the push (seemed like the 38 was trying to set himself up for the win instead of push the 9 to the line unfortunately), but I second that these were perfectly executed and timed skilled moves on track by the 45 a talented wheelman wheeling his racecar in a high pressure moment.

Same with Hocevar to work his way to the front damn close to winning the thing before he got sent off by the 43 and Stenhouse.

but anyways, good morning good to see everyone here btw, it's about to start raining here in SoCal hoping for vortex.
