Well it's early in the race - and this could be absolute "poison" for my posts and reputation...but has anybody heard what's up with Jr.?

Not coming back this year.

Gordon and Bowman are going to finish out the year in the 88

 

[FLRacingFan]

I'm just loving this non-stop follow the leader lap fest. Not. Someone please blow a tire so we can get a caution.

Nah.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Oh, Gordon said this was the one race where he had a real input on the car since he tested this package last year here.

#88 team didnt prepare too well it seems

 

[Acs]

Isn't it great seeing the leader put everybody a lap down before you're even 1/3 through? no? Oh well tough.

 

[LouieLouie]

Love the goodyear throw back tires and the throw back uniforms on pit road. Looks really cool!

 

[FLRacingFan]

Waiting on that first hot dog wrapper caution.

Part of throwback weekend is not throwing ***** cautions...hopefully.

 

[jws926]

And there is the yellow

 

[Pat]

Those camera shots on pit road are great.

 

[Michfan]

Thanks Trevor

 

[Kiante]

So, within the span of a year teams have found probably most of the lost downforce.

Pretty impressive.

Don't mess up that beautiful paint, Trevor!

Or nah.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Great heads up move by Elliott

 

[Reck]

Good old Trevor.

Well, it is a throwback weekend, so why not the racing too, but I thought the racing was so much better in the past, when there was only a few cars on lead lap.............oh those rose colored glasses, need to be cleaned

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

Oops, I thought the race was supposed to start at 6:15-ish central time.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Caution.

Stock car sized debris on the apron of turn 4 exit.

 

[Kiante]

Oh boy, they butcher that pit-stop.

Thank goodness that only three cars were on the lead lap.

 

[jws926]

Jack should do a driver change in the 6 car, Mark is at the track, put him in the 6 car

 

[LouieLouie]

anyone ever see one of those air races? Are they interesting?

 

[LouieLouie]

34 gets the lucky dog! back on the lead lap!

 

[jws926]

LOL 48 team trying to cheat again

 

[ReturnTrip]

48 tire carrier doing pushups on the quarter panel

 

[LouieLouie]

Wow Ned looks thin!

 

[DSquad48]

Aw wtf

 

[jws926]

Wow Ned looks thin!

Wow is right, he is not looking good

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Ned Jarrett

AKA

The Emperor

 

[jws926]

And now the real throwback begins

 

[DSquad48]

So the 48 had to come to pit road under yellow, and make a pass-through under green? Lame.

 

[DSquad48]

Diggin the old-timers commentary

 

[Kiante]

Clean air man, clean air.

 

[LouieLouie]

Hopefully Rick Allen is taking tips from Ken!

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Kyle Larson is no Tony Stewart. Keep quiet Dale

 

[Michfan]

Ok, Ken, I've had enough. Turrible

 

[Kiante]

I said earlier to myself, when is Brian Scott going to mess up.lol

 

[NasNYG567]

That's what Brian Scott gets for not having a throwback scheme.

 

[blanston]

Thank god DJ is in the booth too.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Willing to bet Brian Scott is another one-and-done in the second RPM car.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

NBC producers, you had one job.

 

[Kiante]

Willing to bet Brian Scott is another one-and-done in the second RPM car.
