9 to go and he's preserving 11th?

There goes what could have been a solid Pick'em result.

Less wear on the long run, he's a top 5 car on speed on this long run.

They haven't really ran good at this place since they introduced this package.

Drivers have been taking the bottom lane in the turns long before Harvick was even holding a wheel. He might be good at tire preservation but it hasn’t served him wonderfully well at Atlanta. I just think it’s a dumb moniker.

He was running 28th earlier. P11 is a godsend.

The last third of the last two runs, the 5 has monstrous long run speed.
Like almost everywhere, the 5 is still destroying the field once tirewear comes into effect. But unlike the other races, short run grip seems to be a major issue. Hard to see them becoming a factor without some bit of track position luck.
48 looks stout. 18 is dominant early in the run. Can't see anyone touching Kyle Busch right now unless things change, or the 5 manages to fix that short run speed.
Looks to be Mr. Busch's race to lose.

It's hard to mimic.
The "Larson line" is even historically less successful, but it sticks.

I wasn't. The first 10 laps after the restarts were solid momentum racing, the rest wasn't very spectacular.

Wrong engine for this track, this with 750 would be better.
Not bad, but nothing special so far.
Nice to see no injuries in the 41 pits.

Stenhouse is back out, 66 laps down.
Is the crash clock still a thing?

A lot of spotters are saying the rain there are light sprinkles, but nothing serious.

There's no clear cut favorite right now

If he made minimum speed, he can then take as long as he wants.

The rain that's headed towards the track is very light and shouldn't last more than a few minutes. It shouldn't be heavy enough to soak the track and end the race.

To be honest I don’t even think we go yellow. Extremely light sprinkles
Almirola reporting blizzard conditions in 1
I thought he reported a monsoon. LOL

Almirola's team is fooling themselves if they think this rain will be enough to soak the track and end the race early.

RAINBOW CAWTION!!

I thought the rule was 6 minutes to fix it on pit road, if you make minimum speed you get another 6 minutes and if you go to the garage with crash damage you're done immediately.
