I would agree w/regard to Monday not being an option. Then, on the other hand, Monday is a holiday and most businesses downtown will be closed.

 

[Mispeedway15]

I don’t know how we can do double file starts here

 

[kkfan91]

This looks so awesome

 

[FLRacingFan]

This is really cool to see. Wow.

 

[SpeedPagan]

Very very carefully.

 

[LibertyU24]

What ever happened to NBCs Kelli Stavast ? Haven't seen her for awhile. Did Kim Coon take her place?

 

[aunty dive]

Nice to see some enthusiasm for this event.

 

[AdoubleU24]

Just tuning in, this thing is crazy narrow lol

 

[Brickyard1996]

Monday is a holiday

Tuesday is a holiday, not Monday.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

There's no double dipping this weekend, right?

I didn't love the idea just from seeing how these go for F1 and Indy, but I'd do this 36 times a year before I'd want to see another Bristol dirt.

Thankfully no

 

[SeventyGTX]

Why mph instead of actual lap times in the sidebar?

 

[FLRacingFan]

Congress Plaza and Lake Shore are pretty badass corners.

Congress Plaza and Lake Shore are pretty badass corners.

Which turns are those?

 

[FLRacingFan]

Which turns are those?

Lake Shore 2-4 and Congress 8-10

 

[SeventyGTX]

Nevermind, they finally changed it to lap times.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Our first casualty? 24 in the wall.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

And Brad in the same corner?

 

[aunty dive]

Limit found.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Wrecky

 

[AdoubleU24]

RIP toe links this week

[Brentford]

Passing opportunities do look to be pretty minimal, especially without having the push to pass that Indy has. I think there's going to be a lot of give and take. You're going to have to make some bold moves.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Is there a 'behind the wall'? If a team wants to make mechanical repairs not due to a wreck, is pit road the only place?

They have fender to pass. It will be just fine.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Fun first round of Q

 

[Mispeedway15]

Very very carefully.

Haha is that in a racers vocabulary?

 

[Greg]

Button is impressive in that shietbox.

Yeah but they need it for CLEAN passes. You can slide in and door slam a dude

 

[FLRacingFan]

Sketchiest part of the track looks to be pit entry.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Elliott stuffs it big time.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Can't abuse track limits here.

 

[AdoubleU24]

Damn. Tried hugging that right wall a bit too much. Was having a decent lap just based on trailing the 91

 

[Spotter22]

They may look at moving that wall on the inside back a foot if possible tonight, thats calamity corner waiting to happen

 

[FLRacingFan]

Damn, Harvick does the same. Those are solid whacks.

 

[AdoubleU24]

Gisbergen just out for a drive in the park
