So ... the hauler driver thing is a myth?

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

“Problems for the 4!!!”

 

[aunty dive]

I could see the air.

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Top lines is hooked up now.

 

[aunty dive]

Thing on the deck lid looks like a cupboard door.

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Literally the only thing I like about Hamlin is he is always wanting to try something on plate tracks

 

[jws926]

Spotters are reporting camera men packing up , sounds like were gonna be under a weather delay soon.

Looks like a cell passing south but could be a lightning problem.

Yeah no doubt thats why they are packing up.

 

[DewChaser988]

No matter what happens tonight, I'm still giving this race a zero on the Fan Council survey, because it's not of 4th of July weekend

 

[donthaveanickname]

And how many

If he's the only car running at the end he has his playoff ticket.

 

[Old Kid]

Yeah no doubt thats why they are packing up.

Looks like there could be a much bigger bunch of crap approaching though.

Radar shows it clearing the track

 

[KTMLew01]

My DVR didn't start recording...was watching finish of ARCA race.

Radar shows it clearing the track

Lighting in the area though.

 

[Blaze]

So.....they don't got to stop racing for the lightning this time?

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

Here is the latest Daytona radar. The track is pretty much where the dot for Daytona is.

There is a small storm passing south of the track as we speak. Since the storm is moving east and it's not raining at the track, I expect this storm will stay south of the track.

 

[DIDIT]

Pulling for Eric Jones tonight.

The playoff implications are too high for them to stop the race

 

[Michfan]

Stopping for lightning is so dumb. No one goes anywhere anyway and lightning doesn't care if cars are running. And most of the time it's not even close.

 

[KodiakRusty89]

Looking at the radar, the cell should pass "safely" to the south. Likely lightning in the "area" but is obviously just outside the set perimeter; usually 7-12 miles.

I feel like we're trending towards some thunder and lightning on the track....

 

[DIDIT]

Pulling for Eric Jones tonight.

...and C Bell!

I was just hoping for a delay so I can focus on this Fantasy Football Draft I'm about to be doing LOL.

 

[KTMLew01]

I'd love to see Kenseth win then go on to win the Championship. Without winning another race. This board would implode.

 

[AdoubleU24]

A lot of lightning off the back stretch towards the ocean

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Hey did you all know Jimmie Johnson is a 7 time champion who is retiring at the end of the year and tonight is his last shot at making the playoffs?

 

[KTMLew01]

Does anybody know which line has the moist energy?

 

[Old Kid]

What, they have playoffs now?

 

[donthaveanickname]

Would make sense. His first championship led to the creation of the playoffs, his second championship leads to the abolition of the playoffs.

Knews to me/

I'm not touching that one...

 

[KTMLew01]

OK. Headed to Food Lion. DVR is werking now.

As someone who works in the golf industry that's a crazy statement. You don't mess with lightning. I run like hell when the alarm goes off because i've seen what lightning can do. We had 3 deaths pre-alert system at my club due to a strike. I know at some sporting events the options to "escape" are limited but being in a concourse or in your car is WAY better than up in he stands.

I do think that the standard 30 minute wait after the last strike can be ridiculous when we're talking about storms that can be moving 50-60 mph. They can be out of range in 5-10 minutes.

Is that the guy who used to race motorcycles and then did some off road racing? I didn't realize he was still racing.

I think he's lost a step.
