Pitting while in the lead under caution near the end of the race. Flashbacks.

I have an incredible photo of that rainbow on my phone. I'll never look at it again.

It kinda reminded me of Valentino Rossi missing Zarco's flying bike by an inch in Austria last year.

Great run from Briscoe today. If this it he needed a good run

Makes up nicely for the rainbow caution but anyone with eyeballs should see it’s a solid call if they choose to make it. Don’t want to cross the line with weather three times in one race, no series is immune to unraceable conditions.

Well. This one could be over
This has been a failed experiment. Good Lord.

Fox clearly wants the race over. The most popular driver has the lead. It would speak highly of NASCAR"s credibility if they tried to wait this out.

Yeah, you'll need some knobby ones to get out of the lot.

Racing was entertaining when it wasn't a ****show.
The fans got the outcome they wanted so this experiment will live on.
There's a LOT of rain moving toward Austin. And I mean RAIN, not light drizzle.

It’s also well passed FS1’s schedule for the race.

Yeah they got two more hours of daylight. FS1 wants this one over. Glad NASCAR's trying, it would have every appearance of gifting Chase if they don't try.

Outside of the visibility issues in stage 2 I really really have enjoyed this race. More then most honestly.

It was actually fantastic when it was good, and I wouldn't trust anyone who didn't appreciate that.

Because Chase is leading. I like Chase, but Gordon's bias has been obnoxious since day one.

Since the first red, it's been a decent enough race. I'm still not sure about this layout. It supports more side by side than I expected through 1, 11, and the esses.

Now now, you did say he was gonna smoke the field this week. I need you to remove the sass from that comment.
Also, he's definitely been a victim more than a beneficiary lol.

I think FS1 just tied NASCAR's hands by begging for it to be called, especially when Fox Sports has a well-documented bias.

It's a mess because the driver could not see.
The visibility for the drivers made the first stage an absolute mess. Once the drivers were able to see, the quality of racing improved.

The heavy rain will clear out in about 15-20 minutes. NASCAR has time.

If they call it short, I'll say they do so at 6:30

From the surface, it is a pretty bad look on NASCAR to advertise “we’re racing in the rain!” and they’ve stopped it twice for rain, and this one might just end it early.
Should have done a better job of explaining that they can race on a wet track but they can’t race with a flooded track due to hydroplaning and visibility issues.
