Made it home in time!

 

[Tim_Richmond_Fan]

Excited for this one.

 

[Nitro Dude]

This could be a crap shoot until the track dries. The playoff guys just have to be very careful and stay out of trouble.

 

[jws926]

Here we Go-val

 

[jws926]

Made it home in time!

Haha, you cut that pretty close

 

[StandOnIt]

Dog fight for the lead and the Gerbs are talking WATER

 

[FLRacingFan]

Ty Dillon, welcome to your Kodak moment

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Ty and MTJ seem to be the only ones willing to send it right now.

 

[RacerrecaR]

At least we got to see 3 laps before a commercial break

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Saying debris turn 5

 

[racer8]

Tip towing

most of the front runners are already in the next round if they can survive this one. KDB will be driving like he is on fire

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Tip towing

They have to. Did you hear the wheel spin just due to pain of finish line?

 

[Nitro Dude]

All of the playoff contenders are playing it very safe.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

9 is there. Looks like a 9 vs 19 kind of day. In other words, a road course.

 

[StandOnIt]

I think Elliott saw Truex coming..time to go

 

[AdoubleU24]

Well, one thing hasn't changed in 2020 and that's Chase and Truex at road courses lol

 

[donthaveanickname]

Jeff doesn't know if you can abuse rain tires?

 

[FLRacingFan]

Elliott vs. Truex, who would’ve thought. It’s pretty impressive how those two are up front at each one of these even as the field has taken these races more seriously through the years.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

I think Chase is babying it, but MTJ and Clint are eating him up.

 

[kkfan91]

Bowyer came to play

 

[Tim_Richmond_Fan]

Ugh, starting to get good and we have to suffer through a fake caution.

 

[RacerrecaR]

Ugh, starting to get good and we have to suffer through a fake caution.

And another fake caution coming 10 laps after the restart

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

The tire choice is going to be a problem. Enough of the track will dry to heat up and kill rain tires, but there’s going to be puddles no matter what due to draining down banking.

Yeah I'm glad I'm not the one having to make those decisions

They are just astounded about rain tires and water

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

As I type that Chase just said “man, it’s going to dry up quick!”

 

[jws926]

Clint to the lead

 

[AdoubleU24]

Chase is most definitely taking it easy right now

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Lol. Going to enjoy this until Clint inevitably botches it.

 

[Tony_K]

Already talking about "the cutline" with most of a race to go.

 

[kkfan91]

Ty is fast on the oval but bad slow in the infield

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Chase is most definitely taking it easy right now

Im not so sure they just don’t have anything for the leaders.

 

[FLRacingFan]

That little river running across turn 3 would sketch me out if I were on slicks. Other than that it definitely looks like a dry line is forming around much of the track.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

And Shrek goes around

 

[kkfan91]

Well thats plan didn't work for Newman

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Alan telling Chase to take care of the tires and has mentioned looking for water to cool them.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Ty is the fastest car on track.

 

[donthaveanickname]

Newman is faster than Bowyer now.

 

[RacerrecaR]

Wasn't that lap speed, not lap time?
