I'm hoping one of the Penske Kyle's can figure a way to get up there

Mountain Dew, replaces essential electrolytes that are lost in sweat

 

[FLRacingFan]

Wow #48 got retarded loose.

 

[BobbyFord]

[jws926]

Stage winner, AA

 

[SeventyGTX]

Maybe if they turned down the car volume they wouldn't all have to scream

I would rather they turn the cars up.

 

[BobbyFord]

I don’t mind seeing HMS struggle.

 

[FLRacingFan]

First stage win for Aric.

 

[JBone88]

Stage win, Aric Almirola. Nice to see the 10 car up front.

 

[SeventyGTX]

I don’t mind seeing HMS struggle.

Me either, they've had PLENTY of shining moments.

 

[jws926]

First stage win for Aric.

I will be shocked if he doest win a stage 3 this year.

Every champion quits winning at some point in their career.

This is why Chevy won the J.D. Power Initial Quality Award. Because they won the initial race of the season and haven't won since.

Great stop 42 crew...

 

[JBone88]

What the hell happened to Larson?

It’s happening to Jimmie now.

 

[BobbyFord]

Nice clean restart

Totally agree, but I think this is more a case of HMS and Chevy as a whole not on point this year with the Camaro, but I dont disagree with that Jimmie's time is passing now.

The 10 is really strong!! That was impressive to hold off the 4....

 

[BobbyFord]

For those of you wondering where Harvick was...

 

[4tires17gals]

Truex with some needed stage points

Go @Aric_Almirola! Bringing it in for tires, fuel and to toss some Smithfield bacon on the dashboard so that in 7 laps when it’s perfectly cooked he’ll have DELISH snack. #NASCAR #Chicagoland

 

[FLRacingFan]

That was strong by Almirola. He's driving his ass off today.

 

[ToyYoda]

The what?

The award that bearded guy crows about in those commercials that they give automakers if their cars don't fall apart on the way home from the dealership.

 

[SeventyGTX]

What the hell happened to Larson?

Problems with the left rear

edit: looks like he killed the car. They initially said it was left rear issues

 

[JBone88]

Good to see Harvick up front it’s been a while. Gotta break that 3 race winless streak.

 

[ToyYoda]

IDK what you are smoking, they hand those things out like bubble gum

Ass.

 

[JBone88]

Let’s spend 10 laps staring out Larson’s passenger window. Jeez.

Joliet is in the severe thunderstorm warning area until about 8 PM. Radar shows a strong line out to the west.

 

[StandOnIt]

Is KDB in the race today?

Car's running like ****tles.

Yup! Been watching it blow up over the last two hours. The line has been a slow move for better or worse. It's only getting more intense with the heating of the day....
