And the #14, and the #48, and the #12, and the #42, and the #8

Rain in the forecast. Hell yes! Time for all those screaming road courses to put their money where their mouths are. This is part of if, and NASCAR better had better run the race the right way. Let this play out. This is not the time to babble about vehicle dynamics and conditions. There is nothing about the Gen 7 that screams road course in the first place, yet we are there. Don't backpedal. I am very excited to see KFB wheel a stock car in these conditions with everything on the line. I will be dreaming of a Ferrari Spain 1996 result where one of the greatest drivers ever proved his superiority in wet conditions. This is awesome.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Keep an eye on the track for Hurricane Delta. Just sayin'.

REMNANTS OF TWENTY-ONE

You might check Kyle's record at the Roval ...

Doesn't have a record in the wet...and neither does anybody else. You can't "dampen" my enthusiasm. See what I did there?

ALL of the former winners, actually.

I'm not sure exactly where my seats are now that CMS has finished shuffling. Hopefully the rain will wash any airborne life forms away. With any luck, it will come down so hard that they can't run Saturday and I'll get a triple-header on Sunday.

They have wet weather tires. Run the damn race. I swear if they back out of this, I will become one of "those fans" for at least a week. Run. The. Damn. Race. What is the worst that can happen? Talladega?

That was a winners pic Truex was a loser

Most fun I ever had attending a race was last two Rovals. Last year I was physically nauseous as it was like "he found a new way to blow one." But then...

From this:
To this:

Can't wait for round 3.

 

[StandOnIt]

That turned out to be hilarious.

That turned out to be hilarious.

If I would not have been there with friends that travelled a long way, I likely would have packed up and headed home after he walled it. But when they got to the pits and Alan said "it's actually not bad! Get the tape, we've still got a shot at this" I sat back down. I should post the videos still on my phone of last lap and burnout. I think I also have videos of first lap of first Roval as well.

 

[antman12]

Roval...meh.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

That turned out to be hilarious.

Tums getting their money's worth again.

I guess I better find that poncho ...

A wana be ringer, maybe next year he will get a chance hopefully

Pretty sure he know Chip,, although convincing him to do several one-offs will probably require bringing a sponsor. I hear South Point will have some money freed up in the budget.

 

[Speedbowl14]

If this race is run in the rain that'd be insane. Anyone's race. And just call it the 6 Hours of Le Roval too.

 

[AdoubleU24]

I really don't care to see these cars tip toeing around at half speed. Keep the rain away as far as I'm concerned.

Just enough to make them put on the tires, not so much they're out of control. Enough to separate the contenders from the pretenders.

 

[StandOnIt]

I bet they do have good drainage though for the Roval, it will have to rain pretty hard for them to park them.

Thanks. Post a NASCAR or GOODYEAR press release if you come across one.

 

[Nitro Dude]

When do they usually post the run order?

 

[CopeMan]

I think racing in the the rain would sum up 2020 perfectly.

Pockrass is reliable enough for me, one of the very few journalist's left out there

[Revman]

I like it.

 

[aunty dive]

James Davison would like it to rain.

 

[RacerrecaR]

I need it to rain so that my prediction of Preece winning has a chance of happening

 

[JGR_20]

Never welcomed ‘the next race’ on a nascar schedule more than this one... We can all use something after whatever we are gonna call that mess they just did

 

[Turtle84]

only 5 more chances for Jimmie to grab another win before it's over! Can he get to the magical 84th win number, you know he wants it 48 in reverse. I heard even used to punch in only 8's and 4's into the microwave when reheating meals... we're talking magical numbers here people!

 

[StandOnIt]

Hamlin and Elliott side by side going into the Tums turn with Kez and Harv right behind. I don't think I want to miss the start.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Poole in the #15? I thought the entry list said Yeley replaced him?
