About ready to go again.

 

[10-4]

Is there a rain delay? We're sitting at a sports bar they got FS1 tuned in and Aric Almirola is being interviewed not in his fire suit??

If we can make it passed 5:00 pm without rain we should be golden.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Well played but way too slow.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Well it’s a sax.

 

[Pat]

Well played but way too slow.

I agree

 

[Blaze]

After first two races today. I don’t wanna be around Joey in the start of this.

 

[RFK-PensekeFan]

Bad weather moving in again.

 

[AdoubleU24]

Of course the clouds roll in for the big show

 

[2 Sweet]

Those clouds look rough

 

[AdoubleU24]

Oh great. Lightning hold

 

[jws926]

Sigh!

 

[aunty dive]

Well it’s a sax.

Played it to sound sad.

He hit it.

 

[2 Sweet]

Damn lightning. What a buzzkill

 

[Pat]

la sigh

 

[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Knew this start time would be a issue

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

This is NASCAR’s Fault, if only if they had started the race earlier in the day like at 6am eastern time. They never get the start time right

 

[JJ_14]

I think every race since the return of Cup @ Darlington has been hampered by weather. Crazy.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Jeff is so excited to have MLB back, he’s going to attend the first game back at Wrigley Stadium

Human sacrifice was at noon but our afternoon koolaid drinking session still has room for 1 more.

Thats waaaaayyy to late, they should of started it at 3am EST

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Pull the drivers out of their cars and stop the show for 30 minutes in the name of safety but all the crew guys can stay put on pit road.

Ah I’ll have to take a look, I just got on here. I hope people arnt complaining about the start times today

 

[JJ_14]

Erik Jones had that race won at Talladega if it wasn't for Blaney wrecking him.

Am hearing next time NASCAR runs all three series in the same day the will go heat race style with no break between races. That would help.

Good one. I was thinking lightning rod trucks myself.

 

[harkin]

Pretty sure Bowman has a simulated tire going down there.

 

[Kiante]

I'd pay to see the SMT data during a race.

Make all of my nerdy dreams come true.

Just make it unavailable to share because I can imagine that getting out of hand.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Austin Dillon having everything done for him? Shocker.

 

[Kiante]

Baseball commer-... Zzzzzzzz...

they used to have a primitive version at racing reference. It didn't do lap times but it did overall laps. You could tell when a car fell back or went thru the field and at what lap the did it. You could pick up to three drivers and it would map out their race. I'm still pissed they got rid of it.
I picked 4 drivers random and here is how they did at Watkins Glenn

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Well don’t check the radar.

 

[Brentford]

Crossing my fingers the rain to the West hits the track. I am heading to work in a few minutes, but am off tomorrow. Sorry for those who work tomorrow, but sometimes you gotta be selfish.

Strap some flashlights to the hood, geebus! do I gotta think of everything ?

 

[Joker]

>inb4 they run a few pace laps before it starts to pour
