A totally gorgeous day. Sunny and cool.
Even got the mower out and cut some green stuff(weeds), but those weeds are green. LOL

Lunch and a short nap. Ready to watch a race.

Greetings from the Wurth Four-hundred in Fort Worth, Texas!

Let's see if I can get the panoramic picture I took to go through...

 

[KTMLew01]

What an anthem!!! I teared up.

 

[Pat]

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Great anthem. Great flyers.

 

[dgbullfrog]

Incredible, you know that came from the heart.

 

[Spotter22]

Well if that didnt hit you in the heart I dont know what will. INCREDIBLE!

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Indy at Barber stayed green and we didn't miss a lap here!

 

[nascarwoman]

Oh, my goodness. That anthem was wonderful.

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Who is ready to Ride The Dente’ ?

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Looks to be a good crowd today, not good for the “We Should Leave Texas” brigade

 

[TexasRaceLady]

At 100 years young, that gentleman was fantastic.
Really got me in the heart.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Who is ready to Ride The Dente’ ?

Not without 'protection'.

Kudos to Fox for waiting a full 9 laps before going to an excruciatingly long commercial break. At least we didn’t miss anything of note. (Sarcasm obviously)

 

[Charlie Spencer]

excruciatingly long commercial break.

Same 2.5 minutes as any other non-stage break.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Same 2.5 minutes as any other non-stage break.

Guess it felt worse because I actually paid attention.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

No, uh...

 

[Efisher131]

Looks to be the best Texas crowd in a good 10 years

I missed the intro so, from another room, I heard it and thought “this is awful.” Came into the room and stopped dead in my tracks and felt absolutely terrible and was overcome with respect and regret when I saw him. Simply amazing gentleman being able to do that.

They said biggest presale in 15 years.

 

[Dr_B_UNC]

Did they say what theater the gentleman served in? I assume he was a Marine in WWII with his age…

Pacific, Iwo Jima survivor

 

[Efisher131]

Lol death, taxes, Hamlin speeding

Iwo Jima survivor.

Pacific, Iwo Jima survivor

Holy Moly. That’s majorly hardcore

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Guess it felt worse because I actually paid attention.

I get up at commercials and do some sort of chore. Over the decades my body clock can do 2.5 minutes to within 10 seconds.

 

[nascarwoman]

Can the 2 get any closer to the wall? Dang.

 

[Efisher131]

They said biggest presale in 15 years.

They haven’t removed that many seats there either, I bet they’re over 80k people which is a huge crowd these days

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Love seeing that 21 running in the top 10

 

[Blaze]

Bubba Wallace and Tyler Reddick have an AEW Logo on their car. Very cool.

Had to Google 'AEW'.

 

[Blaze]

Had to Google 'AEW'.

Could've also asked me! Always happy to tell people about it. My favorite wrestling company right now haha.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Always happy to tell people about it.

That may be why I didn't ask.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

There goes Hamlin. Looks like it "done blowed up"

 

[Blaze]

Well his day is done.

 

[Pat]

Holy Moly Hamlin!!!

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Dennis char broiled

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Great. 10 races into the season and Fox is doing playoff standings graphics. Remember when we didn't have to put up with that until NBC took over?

Probably why Denny blew up.

 

[DanicaFreak]

Don’t see that Kinda fire often.
Glad he’s ok

 

[SlicedBread22]

Now that's a fire!

 

[Brentford]

Smelt that one before I saw it.
