[Charlie Spencer]

Night race!

Rain passing north of the track.

Great battle for 1st

Great battle for 1st

Indeed.

 

[StandOnIt]

Gerbils at full song.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Damn, that was a good battle.

 

[DUN24]

Hoping the 78 holds the 22 off for points reasons. Also because wins for Barney before he leaves are cool.

 

[Kiante]

Ugh sucks for Bubba, I hope year two is better for him and RPM.

The second half of the year has been rough for them.

 

[DIDIT]

Rain is about 10 minutes out...lol...I know, I know...but they been
saying it for an hour.

 

[Spotter22]

Nascar calling a race is about as unpredictable as the weather itself

Not tonight!

 

[DIDIT]

So rain is coming soon...why wouldn't Blaney take waive around?

 

[Charlie Spencer]

So rain is coming soon...why wouldn't Blaney take waive around?

Too many laps on the tires; he'd be a sitting duck.

Plus it's not going to rain.

 

[StandOnIt]

Logano made that look easy

 

[jws926]

That is a fire, damn

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Does this change everything?

 

[Kiante]

Were making smores tonight!

 

[jws926]

Does this change everything?

It does for that #66 car

 

[DewChaser988]

NASCAR's gonna have to red flag this, looks like something on the #66 detonated...which is not surprising for Carl Long, that car is literally held together by tape, bubble gum, and spit

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Throw the red while they cleanup. Geez.

 

[StandOnIt]

I don't think Timmy Hill had a problem getting heat in his tires

Whole lot of truth, I wonder if the car smelled like weed?

 

[Barbara Charles]

I actually missed the first hour because I was at an art gallery admiring an exhibition of photographs taken in 1996 and 1997 by official NASCAR photographer Darryl Moran. Ironic, huh?

Breaking news!

NEWS: The infield hotdog stand is currently out of hotdogs in Martinsville. That’s what happens when they’re THAT good (and only $2).
(Don’t worry ... more are on the way)

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Timmy Hill up in flames

 

[DewChaser988]

Guess, Timmy Hill had a hot rod today

 

[DIDIT]

Too many laps on the tires; he'd be a sitting duck.

Umm Timmy Hill done the deed ma nature couldn't .

 

[DUN24]

9 car P9 and freshest tires lets get it.

If you want to base strategy on that, go right ahead.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Logano has just been killer on restarts.

 

[DUN24]

9 car P9 and freshest tires lets get it.

Had to restart P11 because there wasn't time to get to 9th before the green. Now stuck behind the 13.


Aaaand 42 is donezo

 

[DewChaser988]

Looks like something broke on the 42,

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Man Larson and Martinsville just do not go well together

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Hardware failure time.

 

[Kiante]

Here comes Brad.

Larson's horrible day has come to an end.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

No. 24 Team‏Verified account @Hendrick24Team
.@WilliamByron has been released from the infield care center. Done for the day after a broken brake rotor.

 

[ToyYoda]

Larson, this ain’t the way to get TV time for the race sponsor.

 

[StandOnIt]

Larson was no Timmy Hill

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

The radar says Martinsville should have seen showers a few minutes ago.

The leading edge of rain has fallen apart a bit, but there's some more to the west. Maybe we'll get lucky and not see any.

 

[Kiante]

Larson, this ain’t the way to get TV time for the race sponsor.

Its about the only way now in days.

 

[DewChaser988]

And the engine on the #42, just went kablamzo
