ARCA Daytona 200

[Charlie Spencer]

Toyota makes lawn mowers. Or is that a tiller?

Was 2017 the year they switched to Gen 6 chassis? That year was the big dropoff

 

[Efisher131]

What the ARCA was that

 

[donthaveanickname]

Whoa I was holding my breath there . Good job by everyone avoiding a big crash.

 

[Brentford]

It's fun seeing female racers racing. It's unfortunate most of them don't really succeed in the top series, but at least they are able to have fun in the Arca series.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

"A really nice job"? Of coming back up the banking in traffic?

 

[MikeInIllinois]

Been watching the Daytona ARCA race since they used to run it after The Clash on Sundays. No different now than it was then. A wreckfest until they thin the herd. But I still watch it year after year. Always entertaining.

 

[Efisher131]

This race is a meme

I first watched an ARCA race in 2016 and there were already composite cars in the field back then.
2018 was the last year they were allowed to run the Gen4 on Intermediates.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

How does one spin up the banking under caution?

 

[REBS31]

It’s impossible to underestimate the talent of this series sometimes, I love it

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Was 2017 the year they switched to Gen 6 chassis? That year was the big dropoff

Was 2017. The K&N race at Dover used to be pretty solid and after 2016 the field dropped from 27 in 2016 to 15 the next year.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Thank you for another classic ARCA moment Ed.
Not gonna lie, I look forward to this race every year.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

The MST3K of superspeedway racing.

 

[Efisher131]

Lucky that didn’t go in the stands.

 

[Brentford]

They literally spin under caution, but yet seem to avoid a wreck when it seems inevitable.

When in doubt, flat out

 

[donthaveanickname]

How did they all keep it straight there?!
This race has had an incredible number of near misses.

Toni was still going close to 300 kph there. Can't turn on the apron at that speed.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Natalie Decker has been invisible so far. Could see that changing.

 

[Efisher131]

The 15 is gonna cause a monster crash

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Front five come to their senses.

 

[Efisher131]

What do you know, the 15 triggered that

 

[donthaveanickname]

What do you know, the 15 triggered that

I think it was Dale getting into the back of whoever was ahead of him.

 

[MikeInIllinois]

Race is going to start to creep into Xfinity pre-race activities.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Remember they have this stupid GWC rule where green and white wave at the same time.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Still unlimited GWC in ARCA?

 

[donthaveanickname]

Still unlimited GWC in ARCA?

Since it's green and white at the same time, only one attempt.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Since it's green and white at the same time, only one attempt.

I'll be damned, it didn't matter.

 

[MikeInIllinois]

I thought for a second they'd surprise me and all finish under the checkers in a straight line.

 

[Brentford]

That was actually a fun race. Can't believe we had that many cars finish the race.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Great underdog win by Greg van Alst.
Not a lot of effort by Jason White to block anyone.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Greg Van Alst. Incredible.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Thats the best winner interview of the season. Nothing will come close

 

[MikeInIllinois]

Great underdog win by Greg van Alst.

Agreed. The finish was a lot cleaner than I was expecting.

 

[HoneyBadger]

I actually wanted Amber to get that top-5.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Mandy Chick gets a Top 5 and Amber finishes sixth after several near-misses.
It was a pretty good race after all. It came close to a 30 car wreck like 10 times but ultimately they were surprisingly smart .

Some pure emotions by Greg. Awesome to see.

 

[kkfan91]

Highly entertaining and love the excitement for Van Alst, I think Love is the championship favorite but I could see him as a dark horse.

Amber had a legit shot. Jack Wood got too impatient several times.

 

[Kiante]

Jack and Jesse killed that outside line, goodness.

Trying to win it all from like 8th place.
