[Charlie Spencer]

They have lights too right?

Unless they took them down after Friday's truck race.

Ha! Thank you. It's a journey that took me from Connecticut to Utah.

The coolest NASCAR connection to ski instructing is that I remember years ago drivers talking about the difference between Jimmie Johnson and the rest of the field was that he could turn it up from 100% to 105%. You can "feel" that when you're performing at an elite level (in any sport). It is a super cool experience, something I hope all get the chance to enjoy in whatever physical activity they excel at.

Couldn't rule out a sty shower in the next 2 hours, but doesn't look like there'll be anymore lightning, especially with the heat of the day now passed us and the front moved through.

NBC's coverage is exponentially better than Fox.

 

[Kiante]

I think Ross isn't enjoying this interview.

 

[Tumbleweed]

I just looked at the weather radar. The line of weather looks to be almost completely past the Nashville area and no more weather behind it.

 

[Kiante]

In short, Ross doesn't give a damn about fitting in and is there to win.

That's fine, I like that and it seems like Marks wants Ross to be him. It's very genuine, it seems like.

Stupid me

 

[jws926]

Good news!

 

[jws926]

NBC just killing it with the cutaway car, that piece on the lug nut was great!

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Back at it. Let’s go 5

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Happy Hendrick Holidays.

 

[jws926]

HMS did not have a good restart

 

[Pat]

damn

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Biggest overreaction to a wreck ever. Jr made it sound like it was a 15 car pileup

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Rough lap for HMS

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

What happened to Chastain did anybody see?

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Is this the first time we've seen a tire do that kind of damage to the new car?

To be fair, that was a pretty hard lick.

Still doing TV interview.

That sounded like half gerbil volume to me. Full song is way louder lol

Blowing the entire fender off? I think so

Bubba had one tear a smaller piece off at I forget which track now.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

They said something about a loose wheel. Probably had to stop again.

 

[LARRY]

Man I get sick of these guys butchering the English language.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Not often Harvick is in the top 5 on merit in the first stage of a race anymore, but I like it.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

24, 48, 14, 42,

Is there a pattern here?

 

[FLRacingFan]

Briscoe is pretty boom-or-bust this season.

 

[Kiante]

Truex using the high line.

Whole field is in trouble.

That was a racing accident.

 

[HoneyBadger]

They're trying to blame Ross for a wreck that's 100% Briscoe's fault.

 

[jaqua19]

Sup cool peeps?

Just got in from work and had been watching leaderboard.

By the looks of it, passing is on restarts. Follow the leader here?

Hey all. I'm under the weather today but woke up to catch the race. I'm so glad I was able to. Nothing like a race to make me feel better.

I see it... 24 +24 = 48
14 + 14 + 14 = 42
Can't figure out what next?
4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 16

Just they all have a 4.

Amigo dropping.

Does that mean the 16 wins the race?

On a 1.5 miler every wreck will prolly be a hard lick, so no reason to scream like a car went into the stands

 

[jaqua19]

Faster car can't pass slower car.

That's a problem.

Ross Chastain makes these races worth the price of admission himself.

Kyle and Ross don't have problems.
