Just finished my workout. I'm definately excited about the 24 this year! The racing season is back upon us!

 

[FLRacingFan]

Gluck is on site and his Twitter indicates his mind is blown lol.

Got my boy Diffey in the booth. Miss him doing F1, way better then Crofty

I told you to not worry!

Ya know, I often burn out on human interest stories pretty quickly, but they could focus on Alex every five minutes and I'd hang on every word.

I'm here!!! My first Rolex, super pumped

Most famous words in motorsports: "Hi to my family at home!"

 

[AdoubleU24]

I've always heard the Corvettes have a very distinct sound. Confirmed. Sheesh.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Green!

 

[StandOnIt]

Go Vette

 

[Turtle84]

Let the casualties begin

 

[Charlie Spencer]

It's obviously very early but that #55 Mazda is closing the interval on the #77 teammate / leader.

#912 Porsche pitting really early!

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Liking NBC’s leaderboard and having all the classes and the top 5/intervals in each

Montoya doing what he does best. Hauling ass

 

[Charlie Spencer]

#912 in the pits again. Front body work issues. Two stops in less than 20 minutes.

 

[Barbara Charles]

I cannot believe they have the NBC Nascar announcers for this telecast.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

#67 Ford to the garage!

 

[Charlie Spencer]

#77 Mazda holding up DPi #55, #31, #5.

 

[StandOnIt]

77 is coming

 

[StandOnIt]

Briscoe... should have been Cendric in the GT

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Tough start for Zanardi, but long way to go. Ready to see him go to work

 

[LouieLouie]

It's great to see the autoracing season begin again! It has been a long couple of months since I'm not really into football this year.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

#54 Nissan DPi had a flat right rear, and then a trip to the penalty box. Sorry, I missed the infraction.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Ooooooooo that was dicey. Could’ve been really bad for a lot of cars. Nice job everyone keeping it out of the barrier.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

#99 Porsche GTD puked an engine, oil on the tri-oval and turn 1; caution. Same car was in the wall in the horseshoe about 4 laps ago.

 

[StandOnIt]

full yellow after over an hour, nothing like the race yesterday so far. It will change though I bet.

 

[Pat]

Rutledge in the the infield..LOL, but, those are some good looking VWs

 

[Kiante]

What happened to Magnussen in the #3?

 

[Charlie Spencer]

If Mazda has licked their reliability problems, they're going to have both cars on the podium. #55 sucked up the #7 Acura like nobody's business.

 

[Hotrod]

8:10 AM and people already lining up for the noon autograph session.

Did you get any "new" autographs you didn't have?

 

[Hotrod]

I'm here!!! My first Rolex, super pumped

That's awesome ! You doing the infield the whole time or will you check out the stadium views? I recommend
the stadium for the night when ( or if) the fireworks go off around 8 or 9pm. It is sensory overload in a cool way.


Nooooooooo O Gav ! Bad luck for the Vettes hitting each other in the pits .

yep I think they are biding their time, keeping the leaders in sight.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Hearing Rick Allen is about to be in the booth..

 

[Charlie Spencer]

#5 Caddy extended pit stop, rear wing and engine cover off.

EDIT: #5 five laps down and still in the pits. No repeat winner this year.

EDIT #2: and now pushed behind the wall.

Enjoying the Akamel timing better than at the IMSA site.
