Hoping for a good race.

I hope TV doesn't get interrupted by storms today.

 

[Mispeedway15]

I am ready! Hopefully this is the different direction the sport heads instead of slower cars

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Let’s go 2, 78, 9 and 42 !!!

 

[Pat]

Well, so far I don't see race coverage.

 

[NJJammer]

Excited. First race I’ve been able to watch in a long time.

Go Kyle #18!

 

[NJJammer]

I love Bowyer’s disdain of “turtles.”

 

[DewChaser988]

Well, here we go, insanity ahead!

 

[jws926]

Lets go Roval racing, on yeah!!

 

[Conwayite]

And here we goooo!!!

 

[DewChaser988]

I wasn't expecting a clean start

 

[RollingCode]

What happened to the 19?

 

[FLRacingFan]

These look so much more out of control compared to Xfinity yesterday. More HP makes a big difference.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Got through start clean. And we’re off

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Thumbs up to that NBC map/graphic, pretty cool

 

[Mispeedway15]

This is a really good track

 

[DSquad48]

Oh yeah I like this

 

[TexasRaceLady]

This is looking better and better.

 

[NJJammer]

NASCAR needs two or three more “rovals.” Pocono...yes. Who else?

 

[SeventyGTX]

Larson takes the lead during commercial.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

This is better then I thought it would be

 

[kkfan91]

I really like the track, the banking, the elevation, the tight quarters it all works.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Hamlin is a mess. One of the least clutch drivers around.

 

[RollingCode]

Listening to the scanner, any drivers that are usually pretty good to listen too?

I actually love this. Cars all over the place. I dunno where to look. Usually at a road course you can only see one part.

Preacher has been following him around with a Bell T shirt on.

The 9, Eddie DuHondt is the spotter, one of the very best.

 

[jws926]

This is not the sh*t show I think many thought it was going to be, me included, this is not bad at all.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Racing all around the place! I can’t tellwhere to look

 

[Efisher131]

This track is awesome. Hope it's a long term thing.

Bowyer is usually funny

less than a mile an hour difference with pole speeds between the two.

It's been the 2nd worst season of Hamlin's career behind 2013. No wins yet and what looks like it's gonna be a first-round playoff exit.

 

[Gangrene Hockey #43]

IMO nobody has better driver/spotter chater than Clint Bowyer.

 

[FLRacingFan]

less than a mile an hour difference with pole speeds between the two.

More downforce on the Xfinity cars helps make up time through the twisty bits.

 

[Efisher131]

Heartburn turn strikes

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Hey it’s Stanton Barrett haven’t heard that name in a while

 

[2 Sweet]

Stanton Barrett is in this race? I didn't realize he was still competing in NASCAR

 

[kkfan91]

Stanton Barrett? Man when did he last start a race before this.

 

[Gangrene Hockey #43]

Denny had several good chances to win a race this year. Just wasn't meant to be. Sweet hockey commercial. Let's go CAPS to in a row!

 

[NJJammer]

Sparse crowd.
