Hoping for an exciting race --- like the Indy race only without the carnage.

Legge managed a 15th.

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

Can we get Kyle Petty and DJ in the booth with Leigh Diffey?

 

[BobbyFord]

The hood of the 45 is dope.

Keep me up to date --- no satellite due to heavy rain! Real rain.

 

[The Nature Boy]

I’m rooting for the Big Bad Ross to get it done.

Engines started.

 

[antman12]

Toss up for favorite race of the year between the 600 and Southern 500 for me.. LFG!

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

NBC’s NASCAR theme is every bit as epic in 2024 as it was 10 years ago.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

We’re in for a long night if Jeff Burton is already out of breath and the pre race show isn’t over yet. Send help.

 

[The Nature Boy]

Uh Jeff…

Plenty of drivers have gotten Darlington stripes and continued. Some have even won.

 

[Brentford]

CAT UPDATE: I’d love to be inside getting ready for this one, but someone thought they needed some outdoor time. Guess I’ll be watching the start of the race on my phone. ‍

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I’m feeling the hype, not gonna lie. NBC brought their A Game in tonight’s pre race show. Makes me feel the importance and prestigiousness of The Southern 500

 

[Greg]

I’m rooting for the Big Bad Ross to get it done.

He can legally do the Martinsville Stripe today

Harry Gant takes early lead!

 

[Charlie Spencer]

I envy Leigh for seeing his first Southern 500

Keep me up to date --- no satellite due to heavy rain! Real rain.

One to go. Place looks packed all the way down to the bottom seats!

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Green! Wallace leads out of turn two

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Just passed 1 INCH in the rain gauge!

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

WOW!!!

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Boogity. Wow huge problems for Truex

 

[Pat]

omg, wreckling already

 

[Turtle84]

wow right off the bat eh

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Truex an Blaney together off turn 2. MTJ gets loose, takes Ryan into wall.

Ryan out of car and done.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Could be massive playoff implications for the 19

 

[KTMLew01]

Wrecking

 

[BobbyFord]

Wow lap 2

 

[Efisher131]

Has Martin Truex (at age 44) lost a step?

 

[Reck]

Truex puts himself out of his own misery. He would have had a terrible time in the playoffs anyway.

He hasn’t ran good at all all year long to deserve to be in.

 

[Turtle84]

yep just lost it, man MTJ in his send off year at one his best tracks

 

[antman12]

Literally the worst case scenario for MTJ. EL Oh EL

 

[BobbyFord]

Blaney got the worst of it

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Blaney looks slow getting out of the car, looks to be in pain

 

[BobbyFord]

Some busted porcelain dog biscuits

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Truex team not in any hurry.

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

Leigh Diffey is such a joy to listen to.

 

[AndyMarquisLive]

Truex team not in any hurry.

They’re done.

 

[BobbyFord]

19 is killed, too.

 

[Efisher131]

Leigh Diffey is such a joy to listen to.

NBC should completely ghost Rick Allen. 100% upgrade

 

[KTMLew01]

PlayOffIMpliCAtiONS!

 

[JBone88]

Truex is getting out of the game at the right time. Doesn’t wreck on his own like that often.

Hope Blaney is okay.
